00:00So do you reckon this is a case of the Trump administration sort of banging that hardline

00:05immigration drum really to please and to show the support base that they're delivering? Do

00:12you think it's more about the optics than it is about the substance?

00:15I think it's more about the politics. I think Kristi Noams is a political animal. She knows

00:19that Trump has an issue with the Chinese, especially now during the times of tariffs

00:25and trade wars that we're seeing. And also he wants to combat anti-Semitism that's happening

00:33across the US. And we're seeing them all in a lot of our campuses that are out of control now. This

00:39is beyond free speech. This is not why you were given the privilege as a foreign student to come

00:45here to study. But they're using free speech as if they had it. I couldn't go into another country

00:52and bang my fist and criticize the local government. I'd be lucky if I just got deported,

00:59right? There could be a whole lot of things that could happen as a foreigner in a different country.

01:04So I think that this is about respecting the privilege that you have coming here on the

01:09invitation of the United States. And you better behave yourself.
