00:01
Today on TMZ's Places of the World, this is Harvard University.
00:06
This is Harlem.
00:08
Hey, you in the back, Trump, you paying attention?
00:11
So he's on NewsNation doing a phone interview during a town hall.
00:14
And Stephen A gets to ask him a question about Harvard.
00:17
Specifically, Trump's decision to pull federal funding because Harvard defied his demands to limit activism on campus.
00:23
They're asking, what do you say to those who view your actions as an attack on academic freedom?
00:28
We had riots in Harlem. People from Harlem went up and they protested, Stephen.
00:33
What does Harlem have anything to do with that?
00:35
Yet zero, it has nothing to do with that. Dude screwed up. Question is why? Did he just misunderstand?
00:42
I think it's because he saw a black man talking to him and he says, I know where this is going, Harlem.
00:47
Did somebody pass him a note?
00:49
Yeah, someone in the room definitely came up and said, sir, Harvard, not Harlem.
00:55
Exactly. Hey, it's me, your brain. Pivot to Harvard, quick.
00:58
And they protested very strongly against Harvard. You know, I got a very high black vote. You know that.
01:04
There are only two ways to look at this. Either racist or he's losing it.
01:08
We are so far left, it's absurd. For four years, Biden stood up in that White House and we didn't say a single word.
01:15
We've done dozens of posts about Biden bumbling through things.
01:18
We did do some stories, but there were bigger stories to do that nobody did.
01:23
His mental faculties had alarmingly failed.
01:27
And I think the broader point is almost no one covered the full extent of something really alarming.
01:33
And I think Babcock's right in that respect.
01:35
This is a racist moment. This is not a senile moment, guys.
01:38
It's not racist. It's absurd to say that.
01:41
Well, we could do this all day, but time, she's up.
01:45
Next week, we'll discuss the difference between the Netherlands and your nether regions.
01:50
Goodnight, everybody!
