00:00Is this pressure on universities and students and the protests justified?

00:05Absolutely. And I take issue with the question.

00:07President Trump is not issuing a crackdown on universities.

00:09He's issuing a crackdown on specific universities.

00:12He's not talking about Florida State University, University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, University of Michigan.

00:17He's talking about the most elite, the most corrupt institutions like Harvard that have a $54 billion endowment,

00:23which is more money than most countries' GDP, that was found two years ago to have discriminated by the United States Supreme Court

00:29to have discriminated against Asian Americans and their admissions criteria.

00:33This is a university that consistently amplified and celebrated a culture of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism.

00:40And I used to be in the pretty far left of the ideological spectrum.

00:43I cannot for the life of me understand why it's the same far left campus activists

00:47who have made a martyr out of Harvard University saying that we must protect this institution at all costs.

00:51What happened to ending the oligarchy and taxing the rich and having billionaires pay their fair share?

00:55No one has been able to explain to me why an institution with $54 billion needs $9 billion in American taxpayer money,

01:02why they receive $800 million in federal subsidies on an annual basis.

01:06And by the way, if Harvard does not want to accept this money, they don't have to.

01:10Trump is not forcing them to do anything.

01:12Harvard can say, we will only hire Democrats, which is what they're doing.

01:15We will discriminate against Asian Americans and white Americans and Jewish Americans.

01:19But what Harvard wants to do is they want to have their cake and eat it, too.

01:22We want all of the money from the Americans, and we also want the Americans to go screw themselves

01:26because we will do whatever we want.
