00:02:07.000 Thank you, everyone, coming in, of course, from Vince's show.
00:02:10.000 It's live, 9 a.m. Eastern through 4 p.m. Eastern with more to come.
00:02:14.000 You don't need to change this channel.
00:02:16.000 You just keep on watching and it's all free.
00:02:18.000 This is Rumble where we own live.
00:02:20.000 YouTube is dead and Rumble did it.
00:02:22.000 We are going to be talking about a lot today, but first, thank you, Bongino Army.
00:02:26.000 I know you're coming in from Vince's show, which, of course, comes from Vincente in Latin.
00:02:31.000 All the Romance languages are based in Latin, which translates to roughly, I'll tell you when he's had enough.
00:02:36.000 We're going to talk today about Harvard.
00:02:38.000 Let me be really clear.
00:02:40.000 Harvard is not a private institution, by definition.
00:02:44.000 And Harvard is bad for America in more ways than it is good for America.
00:02:49.000 Donald Trump is right.
00:02:49.000 I'd like to see this money go to trade schools.
00:02:51.000 I would like to see us I don't think it's fascist.
00:03:00.000 I don't think that it's authoritarian.
00:03:02.000 I think it's the right thing to do.
00:03:04.000 I will go through all of the claims and more.
00:03:07.000 The definitive segment on this, also the funniest clip I've ever seen in my life, at the top of the show.
00:03:11.000 Let's go.
00:03:17.000 Now I'm glad you called.
00:03:19.000 This is nice.
00:03:21.000 Yeah.
00:03:22.000 I am, too.
00:03:23.000 I really miss this.
00:03:27.000 Hey, Dad.
00:03:28.000 Remember when you scored all those touchdowns in the state championship game?
00:03:33.000 Yeah.
00:03:34.000 I love it, man.
00:03:35.000 I was really proud of you then.
00:03:38.000 Love you, son.
00:03:39.000 Love you, too.
00:03:42.000 But that's not how the reunion really went down.
00:03:46.000 You see, Timmy never played in that state championship.
00:03:49.000 He never even made the team.
00:03:51.000 You see, his parents suffered from crippling debt and skyrocketing inflation, and they were never able to buy that nice new house on the east side.
00:03:58.000 Their debt led to marital stress, culminating in a messy divorce, leaving Timmy to raise himself while Mom was working three jobs.
00:04:06.000 Let's see how the reunion actually went down.
00:04:13.000 Give me your phone and your wallet, old man. 0.95
00:04:15.000 I don't have anything on me, man.
00:04:16.000 Hurry up!
00:04:18.000 Timmy?
00:04:18.000 Is that you?
00:04:20.000 Dad?
00:04:21.000 Tim, I've missed you so much.
00:04:23.000 It's been 15 years.
00:04:25.000 I've missed you too. 0.99
00:04:28.000 Now give me your f***ing money. 1.00

00:05:09.000 Steven, this show has been demonetized on YouTube since before the new media era.
00:05:15.000 I mean, this channel was a pioneer in the field.
00:05:18.000 What?
00:05:51.000 You're a strange animal That's what I know You're a strange animal I've got to fall alone And I'm a speedy test I'm a speedy test Glad to be with you.
00:06:18.000 That's the sound of it being 11 a.m. Eastern on weekdays.
00:06:22.000 My question for you is, do you think that it is wielding the power of the federal government to remove grants from Harvard, potentially their tax-exempt status?
00:06:31.000 And if you do, are you okay with it?
00:06:34.000 Have you reached the point where the left has gone so far that you're kind of past the whole, oh, if we do it, they'll do it to us.
00:06:39.000 Like, they're going to do it anyway, so we might as well get the winds in where we can.
00:06:43.000 I also, by the way, I don't think it's authoritarian.
00:06:45.000 I think it's entirely appropriate, but I am a little bit, a little column A, a little column B. And, well, before we get to anything else, Captain Morgan, CEO, hope you are well.
00:06:53.000 I am well, yes.
00:06:54.000 Josh Feierstein, he will be at Helium Comedy Club in Indy June 20th and 21st.
00:06:59.000 Yeah.
00:07:00.000 It's more than just a racetrack town.
00:07:00.000 Yep, yep.
00:07:02.000 There you go.
00:07:03.000 It's more than just where the Christmas Story Museum is.
00:07:07.000 Actually, I think that's Gary.
00:07:08.000 I went there.
00:07:09.000 And I think the Dillinger thing...
00:07:12.000 Yeah.
00:07:12.000 Yes, we do.
00:07:18.000 There is no commentary.
00:07:19.000 Nope.
00:07:20.000 I have no point to add.
00:07:22.000 It's just one of the funniest things I've seen in my life.
00:07:25.000 I still, by the way, can't I know some of you are going to think that we're all awful people because no one here is immune.
00:07:32.000 Here is...
00:07:36.000 an Asian man being electrocuted and knowing that it's happening and not being able to do anything about it with no way out.
00:07:42.000 *music*
00:08:04.000 What's your favorite part?
00:08:06.000 It's so funny!
00:08:07.000 It's that anyone who's ever, look, anyone who's ever worked construction, like, I've been electrocuted.
00:08:12.000 The last time I was with a circular saw with Johnny Boy and a wire, we were taking apart the old studio, and it was like a shock, you know, your hair stands up.
00:08:18.000 But in that case, he has no footing, so he can't let go, because it's the only thing keeping him up.
00:08:26.000 And so he has a decision to make, and there's not a good one.
00:08:30.000 My favorite part is when his cheeks clenched up.
00:08:36.000 Just let go!
00:08:38.000 You can't!
00:08:40.000 I like the camera just continuing to pan with no concern.
00:08:45.000 Yeah, the cameraman's like, I shouldn't open this circuit.
00:08:48.000 What a horrible friend.
00:08:50.000 Put on YouTube. 0.85
00:08:52.000 Get money to play.
00:08:54.000 No, touch it.
00:08:55.000 Totally safe.
00:08:57.000 I'll put in portrait mode.
00:09:00.000 Take two.
00:09:06.000 There's nothing funnier to me than finding yourself in a situation where you're like, oh, this is going to hurt, whether it's emotionally, whether it's embarrassing, or whether it's physically, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:09:14.000 You just have to pick.
00:09:16.000 You want to keep getting electrocuted or you want to fall.
00:09:20.000 Your choice.
00:09:22.000 Falling includes stairs, by the way.
00:09:24.000 I don't think they ever got the air conditioning fixed.
00:09:26.000 No, I don't.
00:09:28.000 He was like, we're just going to sweat this summer. 0.99
00:09:32.000 Your maintenance man sucked! 0.98
00:09:33.000 Maybe run another fan! 0.99
00:09:37.000 I'm doing my best!
00:09:39.000 It's a cartoon!
00:09:42.000 Alright.
00:09:45.000 Sorry, I just had to get that out of the way because I'd be thinking about it all day.
00:09:48.000 You were on the floor, literally.
00:09:51.000 I couldn't breathe when I watched it.
00:09:52.000 Because I didn't know what I was watching.
00:09:54.000 I didn't know what I was watching until I realized, oh wait, he's being electrocuted this entire time!
00:10:02.000 I'm glad no one warned you.
00:10:05.000 You've all been shocked, right, working on job sites?
00:10:08.000 Oh yeah, I did it fixing a GFCI last month.
00:10:10.000 Oh, did you?
00:10:10.000 Yeah, my friend called me.
00:10:11.000 He was distracting me on the phone.
00:10:12.000 I'm like, oh yeah, that's cool.
00:10:13.000 You're going to Carolina.
00:10:14.000 that's great.
00:10:15.000 Luckily, I had the outlet in my hand so I couldn't close, You're different for the rest of the day. 0.99
00:10:24.000 And then my friend's on the phone, and it was quiet for a second, and I go, holy fuck. 0.98
00:10:29.000 He's like, I was quietly laughing the whole time, covering the phone. 0.99
00:10:32.000 It's funny.
00:10:33.000 It's always funny.
00:10:35.000 Even if it involves death.
00:10:36.000 But that one didn't, from what I understand.
00:10:39.000 Yeah.
00:10:40.000 Well, I don't think he went.
00:10:42.000 No, he didn't go.
00:10:42.000 No, he's fine, guys.
00:10:43.000 Totally fine.
00:10:44.000 We play by real TV rules.
00:10:45.000 If we show it on broadcast, that means people are alive.
00:10:48.000 We think.
00:10:49.000 All right.
00:10:50.000 Ignorance is bliss.
00:10:52.000 Now, I can't say that I'm hopeful for that result for these next folks featured.
00:10:58.000 School's out, guys.
00:10:59.000 And I don't know if, you know, there are all kinds of summer camps.
00:11:02.000 You can have tennis camp.
00:11:03.000 Yeah.
00:11:04.000 I had hockey camp.
00:11:06.000 There's, you know, fitness camp.
00:11:08.000 Well, how about Really Gay Camp? 0.58
00:11:10.000 PWR 2. LGBTQ plus 7. I'll tie your shoulder down. 1.00
00:11:17.000 It's better to love.
00:11:19.000 I'll give you a hand up. 0.97
00:11:21.000 I'll give you a hand up. 0.97
00:11:23.000 It's too tight of a hug.
00:11:27.000 Camp Leader's slogan is, shh, don't tell.
00:11:30.000 Oh! 0.60
00:11:39.000 Wait a minute.
00:11:45.000 What?
00:11:46.000 You said apply now.
00:11:47.000 You said apply now.
00:11:49.000 You're really not going to take someone?
00:11:51.000 Yes.
00:11:51.000 What do they have to do?
00:11:53.000 Take some guy?
00:11:55.000 I don't know.
00:11:55.000 What are your thoughts on Cher?
00:11:58.000 Pro.
00:11:59.000 We believe in life after love.
00:12:01.000 Yes, we do.
00:12:03.000 So it's a real camp, which, by the way, inspired Paramount's new fag camp comedy, Heavy Gaze. 0.97
00:12:09.000 So that's something that, yes, they're all.
00:12:11.000 By the way, when you create a camp, you create a designated environment that's. 0.93
00:12:20.000 How long before it turns into an orgy? 0.93
00:12:22.000 Well, isn't it for children? 0.99
00:12:24.000 Isn't it for underage?
00:12:25.000 Come on.
00:12:25.000 Let's be honest here.
00:12:26.000 They're teenagers.
00:12:27.000 They don't care. 0.98
00:12:28.000 Yeah, but I mean, you're just sending your kid to go, oh, go to sex camp.
00:12:32.000 That's not what it is, Mom.
00:12:33.000 Well, what's it about?
00:12:34.000 My sex.
00:12:34.000 Yes.
00:12:35.000 It's about how we prefer the gay sex, and I'll be surrounded by other people who also share this proclivity. 1.00
00:12:41.000 It's like going to sex. 1.00
00:12:42.000 Look, we all know there's that guy who goes to Sexaholics Anonymous to pick up chicks. 0.96
00:12:47.000 How do they play?
00:12:48.000 Yeah.
00:12:48.000 Right, we all know that guy.
00:12:50.000 Come on, he goes fishing with dynamite?
00:12:52.000 And I respect it.
00:12:53.000 The camp includes activities like backpacking.
00:12:57.000 That's something I don't want to...
00:13:00.000 Queer affirming therapy. 0.82
00:13:02.000 What is that?
00:13:03.000 I don't know.
00:13:04.000 Is this like the opposite of when Christian parents send their kids to conversion camp?
00:13:08.000 Is this like the opposite?
00:13:09.000 Something like that. 1.00
00:13:09.000 You're gay! 1.00
00:13:10.000 You're gay! 1.00
00:13:11.000 Yes, exactly. 0.99
00:13:12.000 Yes, repeat after me.
00:13:13.000 Repeat after me.
00:13:15.000 I'm a Swifty.
00:13:17.000 I'm a Swifty.
00:13:18.000 Good.
00:13:19.000 I'm in my gay era. 1.00
00:13:21.000 Look at that butthole. 1.00
00:13:22.000 You want that? 1.00
00:13:23.000 No, geez.
00:13:23.000 What?
00:13:24.000 What is wrong with him?
00:13:25.000 Whoa.
00:13:26.000 Hey, we all know Gerald's favorite camp memory.
00:13:28.000 We're putting the band-aid off for him, okay?
00:13:31.000 You tell me about yours.
00:13:32.000 All right.
00:13:33.000 Hold on, really quickly.
00:13:34.000 I don't know if we want to just really...
00:13:36.000 Israel killed the elusive Hamas leader, Mohamed Senwar.
00:13:40.000 Okay.
00:13:43.000 I mean, it can't be that elusive if they killed him.
00:13:45.000 So they're done then.
00:13:46.000 Yeah.
00:13:47.000 Actually, they called him to fix an air conditioning unit.
00:13:49.000 You just have to...
00:13:58.000 He can't let go!
00:13:59.000 He let go!
00:14:00.000 He falls!
00:14:03.000 Air conditioning in Gaza?
00:14:05.000 All right.
00:14:05.000 I'm sorry, guys.
00:14:06.000 I am a child, and it's just one of those things.
00:14:09.000 It's just, look, let me have this pleasure in life watching Crazy Asian Man. 0.85
00:14:13.000 That's actually the theme of that camp brave.
00:14:16.000 Let me have this pleasure in life.
00:14:17.000 Let me have this pleasure in life.
00:14:19.000 Yeah.
00:14:19.000 And they don't play King of the Hill.
00:14:20.000 Speaking of gay. 0.98
00:14:23.000 Speaking of gay, Jake Tapper. 0.99
00:14:26.000 So, Jake Tapper, here's the thing. 0.86
00:14:28.000 He's been on his apology tour, but it's not really an apology tour because he's apologizing for being wrong.
00:14:33.000 He's not apologizing for misleading, for lying, and for character assassination as to everyone who was right.
00:14:39.000 We may get to that.
00:14:40.000 We may not.
00:14:40.000 You guys have probably seen the Piers Morgan clip, but here's the thing.
00:14:43.000 Jake Tapper now is kind of trying to rebrand himself, and I think this is out of necessity.
00:14:47.000 You're seeing this with some people at CNN.
00:14:50.000 Just last week, and this clip resurfaced kind of yesterday, He acknowledged and recognized the problem with the left, which is what we discussed yesterday, and Gen Z men. 0.94
00:15:01.000 Here he is kind of calling them out and using his son as a personal example.
00:15:05.000 It just surprises me that he's surprised.
00:15:08.000 I went on a left-leaning podcast that shall remain nameless, and we were talking about my kids, because I think they were both people without kids.
00:15:19.000 And they asked me about my son, and I said he was, you know, he's a football player, and he wants to be a policeman.
00:15:27.000 And their joke was, about my 15-year-old son, oh, how does he feel about minorities?
00:15:31.000 Like the idea that he wants to be a policeman, therefore he's racist, my son.
00:15:35.000 And like, you know, that was the big laugh, and then I got dragged in the comments and all that stuff. 0.99
00:15:40.000 And I thought to myself, this is why you f***ers are losing elections. 0.99
00:15:45.000 100%. 0.99
00:15:45.000 Like my football playing son, who... 0.99
00:15:53.000 He's 15. He thinks about World War II and gaming and playing linebacker.
00:16:01.000 That's his world.
00:16:03.000 You're deciding he's a racist because he wants to be a cop.
00:16:08.000 That's how the Democratic Party talks to men.
00:16:11.000 I'm going to tell you this.
00:16:12.000 If your son is in the World War II, he wants to be a cop and he plays football.
00:16:15.000 He does have political views.
00:16:17.000 That is a...
00:16:24.000 Those are like the top two for every young boy. 0.94
00:16:27.000 Hey, what do you think the calciades are on Tapper's son also liking titties?
00:16:31.000 We have it right now, I believe, at 99.5%.
00:16:34.000 In case you're shocked by the views of teenage boys. 1.00
00:16:39.000 Even gay teenage boys like titties. 1.00
00:16:41.000 Yeah, of course. 1.00
00:16:42.000 at least for the novelty of it.
00:16:43.000 By the way, he's shocked that they're In case you've forgotten, here's the same Jake Tapper.
00:16:55.000 It is shocking to see images of police abusing their power against peaceful citizens exercising their constitutional rights.
00:17:05.000 What are the American people to make of these images of officers brutally beating peaceful journalists and protesters?
00:17:14.000 Former President Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, are criticizing the news media and Democrats for what they call irresponsible rhetoric that they allege was behind the thankfully unsuccessful assassination attempt.
00:17:29.000 At the same time that they're doing that, Trump and Vance and their minions continue to spread lies. 0.99
00:17:36.000 Why is he talking about Arnold Palmer's penis? 0.99
00:17:38.000 In front of Pennsylvania voters. 0.99
00:17:40.000 I mean, why not?
00:17:41.000 Jake, you seem to like that line a lot.
00:17:42.000 Let me tell you that Donald Trump is doing rallies non-stop around the country.
00:17:46.000 Let me just say something.
00:17:47.000 I don't want to be talking about this.
00:17:51.000 Well, other guys think it's funny.
00:17:53.000 Yeah.
00:17:54.000 Maybe even your son.
00:17:56.000 Peaceful protest.
00:17:57.000 Yeah, well, you know, don't allow, this is a guy who's spewed rhetoric regarding toxic masculinity and Don't allow this guy to put distance between himself and the monster he created.
00:18:11.000 Hey, this is the America that you created for your son, Mr. Tapper.
00:18:17.000 Yeah, I mean, you're in a unique position to be able to push back on all of this stuff.
00:18:20.000 To be able to espouse those views, but when it hits home finally for you and your 15-year-old.
00:18:25.000 Not when somebody else's son.
00:18:27.000 Like, learn from other people's experiences.
00:18:29.000 No.
00:18:29.000 It's finally when it hits home for you, and your son's under attack.
00:18:32.000 By the way, if you listen to that podcast, he didn't defend his son very well.
00:18:35.000 No, you know what?
00:18:36.000 Well, actually, here's the thing.
00:18:36.000 We do have the clip here, and they are pretty smarmy, and it also shows you how out of touch those people are.
00:18:41.000 I don't care what your political viewpoints are. 1.00
00:18:43.000 You start talking about my son in a way like that, I'd be like, guys, you're being idiots. 1.00
00:18:47.000 I don't care if I sell any books to your audience or not. 1.00
00:18:49.000 It's my son.
00:18:49.000 He's 15 years old.
00:18:50.000 Well, you're not taking into account all them book sales from the How Long Gone podcast.
00:18:56.000 That's when you do it.
00:19:00.000 It is shocking to see images of police.
00:19:05.000 That's the wrong one.
00:19:07.000 Hey, by the way, we do have someone in training right now because Toolman is going to be gone tomorrow.
00:19:11.000 All right, hold on a second.
00:19:12.000 Let me set this up again.
00:19:13.000 Here we go.
00:19:14.000 You're not taking into account all them book sales, though, from the How Long Gone podcast.
00:19:18.000 He likes police.
00:19:20.000 He is just...
00:19:24.000 The institution.
00:19:25.000 No, not the band.
00:19:26.000 I don't think he knows what the band is.
00:19:28.000 My son likes police.
00:19:30.000 Yo, no, police.
00:19:31.000 Cops.
00:19:32.000 He likes cops, not the TV show.
00:19:35.000 Like he thinks they're cool?
00:19:37.000 I don't understand.
00:19:38.000 What about a couple?
00:19:39.000 Not as cool as the How Long Gone podcast.
00:19:42.000 I don't know.
00:19:43.000 How does he feel about minorities?
00:19:48.000 He's pro.
00:19:49.000 But I think the thing is awesome.
00:19:53.000 That last one's kind of a funny joke, but here's the thing, Mr. Tapper.
00:19:57.000 I know that you have your book PR firm and you're going on all these shows that won't sell books.
00:20:00.000 If you want to reach people who...
00:20:06.000 Come on here.
00:20:06.000 We'll invite you on the show.
00:20:07.000 I know we've had some dustups on X, formerly Twitter.
00:20:10.000 You are welcome to come here and make your case.
00:20:13.000 We will always be respectful.
00:20:14.000 But yeah, I think you're full of it.
00:20:16.000 I think you're full of it.
00:20:17.000 I think that you knew what we all knew.
00:20:19.000 And I bet that your son knew.
00:20:21.000 I bet your son knew.
00:20:22.000 Your son who wants to be a cop knew that Joe Biden had dementia.
00:20:24.000 You seem to be the only one who didn't.
00:20:25.000 And an apology for not knowing, for ignorance, to me, is not genuine enough.
00:20:29.000 You need to apologize for the character assassination and the lying.
00:20:31.000 Comment below if you agree.
00:20:33.000 It would seem to me that his son might have a little bit of rebellious behavior going on there.
00:20:38.000 A little rebelling against Dad.
00:20:39.000 Like, hey, Dad said this, Dad said that.
00:20:40.000 I like the police, actually.
00:20:41.000 Yeah.
00:20:42.000 I like football.
00:20:43.000 I like manly stuff, actually. 0.98
00:20:44.000 I like titties. 0.99
00:20:45.000 There you go. 0.99
00:20:45.000 Of course he does. 0.99
00:20:46.000 Of course he does.
00:20:47.000 There's a little bit of that.
00:20:47.000 And there might be a little bit of, you know, That little gaslighting at the house, too.
00:20:53.000 Yep.
00:20:54.000 I'm on it.
00:20:54.000 Yeah, Dad.
00:20:55.000 Come on.
00:20:55.000 He has dementia, Dad.
00:20:57.000 Open your eyes. 1.00
00:20:58.000 Take your head out of your ass, Dad. 1.00
00:21:00.000 Spineless. 1.00
00:21:01.000 You could have defended cops there.
00:21:03.000 You could have defended the military there.
00:21:04.000 You certainly could have defended your own son a lot better.
00:21:06.000 Just a spineless person.
00:21:08.000 Prove me wrong.
00:21:09.000 Come on.
00:21:09.000 There you go.
00:21:10.000 There you go.
00:21:10.000 Hey, let's move on to this next.
00:21:12.000 And we're going to cover this pretty in-depth.
00:21:14.000 So I want to disabuse you of a few notions here.
00:21:17.000 People are talking about Harvard quite a bit.
00:21:18.000 There's a lot of misinformation out there.
00:21:21.000 So I'm going to make all the references available as I do every show.
00:21:25.000 But let me give you my perspective first because I do have a bias.
00:21:28.000 The left wants you to believe that Harvard is necessary, that they help America.
00:21:32.000 They hurt America.
00:21:33.000 Harvard as an institution hurts America.
00:21:35.000 So do many Ivy League schools and certainly the institution of higher education in this country.
00:21:40.000 They will try and convince you that it is a private institution.
00:21:42.000 It is not a private institution when you look at how much federal funding they receive versus their endowment and what they spend.
00:21:49.000 And that this is government interference and authoritarianism for these grants to be imposed.
00:21:54.000 That this is basically a fine.
00:21:55.000 It is not a fine.
00:21:56.000 It is a gift.
00:21:57.000 And we are choosing to no longer be in the Harvard Jelly of the Year Club.
00:22:01.000 We can stop the gift.
00:22:02.000 That doesn't mean that we are actively taking away your money.
00:22:07.000 You know, your 50-something.
00:22:10.000 So I want to get to that and more, but I will say this.
00:22:13.000 Harvard should lose the funding.
00:22:15.000 They may lose their tax-exempt status.
00:22:17.000 And you know what?
00:22:18.000 I think they very likely should.
00:22:19.000 Let's talk Harvard.
00:22:25.000 It hurts Harvard.
00:22:35.000 Touched them in a tight spot, losing their tax exemption.
00:22:40.000 I All right.
00:22:43.000 And for those, by the way, who have not yet downloaded the Rumble app, download the app, follow us there.
00:22:47.000 That's the best way to stay in touch.
00:22:48.000 If you are a YouTube subscriber, if you have the notification bell on there, if you're on Facebook, best places go to Rumble.
00:22:54.000 You get notified when we are live, and that's 11 a.m. Eastern on weekdays.
00:22:58.000 You don't have to rely on some voodoo algorithm there.
00:23:01.000 You just, hey, we're live.
00:23:02.000 We'll let you know.
00:23:03.000 For those of you who missed it, Donald Trump, Harvard, they've had a little bit of a, I guess you'd say a brouhaha.
00:23:10.000 Some people might refer to it.
00:23:11.000 And by that I mean only me.
00:23:13.000 And Harvard is upset.
00:23:15.000 The media darlings are, of course, running interference for Harvard.
00:23:18.000 And you see the same themes, right?
00:23:20.000 You need the FBI, the CIA.
00:23:22.000 You need these institutions.
00:23:24.000 You need the legacy media.
00:23:26.000 You need.
00:23:32.000 So Harvard and their media darlings are fuming over the fact that it's time to pay the piper. 0.91
00:23:37.000 We give them billions of dollars, which is ridiculous.
00:23:41.000 We do grants, which we're probably not going to be doing much grants anymore to Harvard.
00:23:45.000 But they're 31 percent, but they refuse to tell us who the people are.
00:23:49.000 We want to know who the people are.
00:23:51.000 Now, a lot of the foreign students we wouldn't have a problem with.
00:23:54.000 I'm not going to have a problem with foreign students.
00:23:56.000 But it shouldn't be 31%.
00:23:57.000 It's too much because we have Americans that want to go there and to other places, and they can't go there because you have 31% foreign. 1.00
00:24:06.000 Now, no foreign government contributes money to Harvard.
00:24:10.000 We do.
00:24:10.000 So why are they doing so money, number one?
00:24:12.000 Number two, we want a list of those foreign students, and we'll find out whether or not they're okay.
00:24:18.000 Many will be okay, I assume.
00:24:20.000 And I assume with Harvard, many will be They've lost billions of dollars in funding for shared research.
00:24:33.000 The latest action last week to block Harvard from enrolling international students, that's a quarter of its student body.
00:24:41.000 What is the end goal?
00:24:42.000 We're saying the same thing, sweetheart.
00:24:43.000 The end goal here is to inflict maximum pain on Harvard.
00:24:48.000 And think about this.
00:24:49.000 When they say maximum pain, what they mean is looking out for you.
00:24:52.000 The American worker.
00:24:53.000 How do you get to a quarter of your student body being formed?
00:24:57.000 By the way, any Chinese student here in our educational institutions is by definition a CCP operative because they have to be under their control and they have to go through the powers that be to come here to the United States. 0.99
00:25:10.000 Let's be clear about that.
00:25:11.000 But let me give you the timeline as we get to some of these claims and every single one falls apart.
00:25:17.000 This happened, I think, started March 31st through now.
00:25:20.000 References available.
00:25:20.000 The Trump administration basically demanded a review of $9 billion in federal grants to Harvard, which Harvard refused, and they sued.
00:25:28.000 They refused to comply and sued over.
00:25:30.000 And what was being requested was things like details on Harvard's hiring, the admission like DEI, the implementation of DEI if they're appropriately removing them.
00:25:38.000 They wanted more cooperation with law enforcement on foreign students who break university policies or who come here and disrupt the student experience or if they have ulterior motives.
00:25:47.000 Harvard said, you're overreaching.
00:25:49.000 We shouldn't have to do any of those things.
00:25:51.000 So what happened is President Trump froze $2 billion as of now in federal grants to Harvard.
00:25:57.000 He moved to end Harvard's student and exchange visitor program.
00:26:00.000 Again, reference, he said 31. The number I found was 27% of the Harvard student body is foreign.
00:26:06.000 And he just recently ordered the IRS to review Harvard's tax-exempt status.
00:26:10.000 And he put this on Truth Social saying, We are going to be taking away Harvard's tax-exempt status.
00:26:15.000 It's what they deserve.
00:26:19.000 And so the left is making a bunch of claims to try and convince you.
00:26:22.000 The American worker who probably has never been to Harvard, why you need to subsidize Harvard, and it's actually better for you, for Harvard to get those billions of dollars, than for you to keep it.
00:26:32.000 It's time for Claim Truth.
00:26:38.000 And I'm going to be as succinct as possible because some of these claims are absolutely ridiculous and they should be treated as such.
00:26:44.000 The first claim that you will hear them make is, hey, most important of all, Harvard claims.
00:26:51.000 Harvard helps America.
00:26:53.000 This is not merely hurting Harvard, not merely hurting 7,000 international students, but it literally hurts hundreds of millions of Americans who benefit from serious research in this country and people around the world who benefit from the work that we do.
00:27:10.000 Here's the truth.
00:27:12.000 Harvard hurts America.
00:27:14.000 The Ivy League schools hurt America.
00:27:16.000 We'll get to the research, by the way.
00:27:17.000 That slack can be picked up by a bunch of institutions who won't try and subvert American values in Western civilization.
00:27:22.000 Let me lay out the case for you as to how Harvard hurts America.
00:27:26.000 So they are receiving billions of dollars in federal funding to teach courses like street dance activism, co-choreographic praxis as activism, power to the people, black power, radical feminism, and gay liberation, gender in Byzantium.
00:27:41.000 Global Transgender Histories.
00:27:43.000 That one starts in about 2014.
00:27:48.000 And is limited in countries, by the way.
00:27:50.000 So there's only one volume of the book?
00:27:52.000 Yeah, no Middle Eastern countries.
00:27:53.000 This subverts America. 0.51
00:27:55.000 This hurts America because it teaches students that we basically invented slavery.
00:27:58.000 If you go through these courses, it teaches students that patriarchy, the basis of Western civilization, is evil, of course, and that, you know, all genders are equal and science is a figment of your imagination.
00:28:10.000 And it's not just Harvard.
00:28:11.000 This is emblematic of Ivy League schools and our higher educational establishments in general.
00:28:15.000 But they want you to know you need them.
00:28:18.000 You working on the factory line.
00:28:20.000 You who got an apprenticeship at a trade school.
00:28:23.000 It's better that your money go to Harvard because something, something research.
00:28:26.000 Even Harvard's president admitted that the school's problems, meaning anti-American radicalism, pretty much a thing.
00:28:35.000 In my view, the federal government Yes.
00:28:50.000 Correct.
00:28:56.000 Claims about failure to comply with laws concerning discrimination more generally.
00:29:02.000 For some of this...
00:29:04.000 We have been very clear that we think we do have issues, and I would particularly emphasize the speech issues.
00:29:10.000 We think it's a real problem.
00:29:12.000 Fix it.
00:29:13.000 Particularly at research universities, students don't feel free to speak their minds.
00:29:19.000 When faculty feel that they have to think twice before they talk about the subjects that they're teaching, that's a real problem that we need to address.
00:29:28.000 No, no, no.
00:29:29.000 It's not a real problem.
00:29:30.000 it means you are not a university.
00:29:31.000 If students...
00:29:34.000 And faculty cannot speak their minds.
00:29:36.000 And by the way, speaking their minds means any type of pro-American, pro-conservative traditional Western values.
00:29:41.000 If they can't do it, you cease to serve a purpose as a university.
00:29:45.000 I don't care how old your holes were.
00:29:47.000 I don't care that you'll tell me, oh, Harvard's been around since longer than the United States.
00:29:50.000 It doesn't matter.
00:29:51.000 You are no longer of value.
00:29:53.000 Let me give you some metrics here so you can understand this.
00:29:55.000 In 2023, Harvard ranked...
00:30:04.000 Their professors, over 77% identify as liberal or very liberal, only 3% as conservative, to be clear.
00:30:14.000 So he admits that it's a problem.
00:30:16.000 No, no.
00:30:16.000 It is the problem.
00:30:18.000 And we're doing everything.
00:30:19.000 Fix it now.
00:30:20.000 Hey! 0.99
00:30:20.000 How quickly could you hire a transgender single black mother with polio? 0.99
00:30:26.000 Pretty quickly when you had the DEI initiatives. 0.98
00:30:27.000 Yesterday.
00:30:28.000 Hire some people who come from the sampling pool of, you know, half of America, the half who elects presidents.
00:30:34.000 Do it now.
00:30:35.000 Do it this week.
00:30:36.000 You know what?
00:30:36.000 Do it this month and your funding doesn't freeze.
00:30:39.000 How about that?
00:30:39.000 They're not going to do anything about it.
00:30:41.000 They're just going to cloak their next slide.
00:30:43.000 I'll give you an example.
00:30:44.000 DEI?
00:30:45.000 In response to President Trump's initiative to end DEI, they just rebranded it.
00:30:49.000 Their DEI office turned into the community and campus life with the same buzzwords and people in charge, like building inclusive traditions.
00:30:58.000 No.
00:30:59.000 The inclusive tradition is the First Amendment, which is the bedrock of our...
00:31:09.000 How about that?
00:31:09.000 How about the inclusive tradition is that everyone is allowed to speak?
00:31:13.000 One that you have shunned and is the reason that you are not receiving the billions of dollars in freebies that you don't deserve.
00:31:19.000 Let's look at viewpoint discrimination.
00:31:21.000 Again, Harvard hurts America.
00:31:23.000 This mindset hurts America.
00:31:25.000 Don't care how much research you do, and we'll get to that in a second.
00:31:27.000 2020, Harvard, remember they revoked the conservative student's acceptance over social media comments when he was 16. That was Kyle Kashuk.
00:31:35.000 2022, they disinvited a feminist philosopher.
00:31:39.000 They disinvited a feminist philosopher because this feminist held anti-transgender views.
00:31:44.000 She was scheduled to speak and they rescinded it.
00:31:46.000 2022, Roland G. Fryer, a tenured black professor who is pretty liberal, by the way, was canceled there for debunking systemic racism against blacks.
00:31:56.000 Remember that famous study that came from Harvard?
00:31:58.000 He's like, actually, the violence against black people from police office, it's actually lower than against white people.
00:32:03.000 The man was shunned.
00:32:05.000 The man was put in a Harry Potter under the stairs closet.
00:32:08.000 So you go through the viewpoints.
00:32:10.000 You go through the freedom of speech, what he acknowledges.
00:32:12.000 You go through the actions that they have taken.
00:32:14.000 And it's very clear. 0.99
00:32:14.000 If you love the United States of America, if you think that America is flawed, but it's a great country and we should teach, We're saying that we shouldn't have entire course loads regarding the intersectionality of slavery and chicks with dicks. 0.99
00:32:33.000 Leave it to liberal whites to tell blacks about blacks. 0.99
00:32:36.000 Yes, exactly. 0.61
00:32:38.000 And here is the Harvard president conflating all these issues, trying to say, well, this is just about, to be clear, the Trump administration never said this is just about anti-Semitism, but here he is conflating it.
00:32:50.000 The research funding is given to universities and other research institutions to carry out work that the research work that the federal government designates as high priority work.
00:33:05.000 It is work that they want done.
00:33:07.000 They are paying to have that work conducted.
00:33:10.000 Shutting off that work does not help the country, even as it punishes Harvard.
00:33:16.000 And it is hard to see the link between that and, say, anti-Semitism.
00:33:21.000 Yeah, no one's saying that that is anti-Semitism.
00:33:25.000 That's one of the issues.
00:33:29.000 Disgust as a symptom.
00:33:31.000 When you have kids who are taking over buildings at schools in the United States in the name of Hamas.
00:33:37.000 Okay, how did we get there when conservatives are not even able to speak?
00:33:41.000 And I know this, by the way, changing my mind.
00:33:42.000 We were banned from schools and now you have other people who can do it.
00:33:44.000 I'm glad that the way was paved.
00:33:46.000 I got tired of doing that.
00:33:48.000 Back then you could not do it.
00:33:49.000 There was not a single professor.
00:33:50.000 We had an open call to every school where we've gone, at least for the last few years that we did it.
00:33:55.000 We said, any professor wants to come out and have a conversation.
00:33:57.000 Not one.
00:33:59.000 Not one did it.
00:34:00.000 Here's the other truth here.
00:34:02.000 There are plenty of other research institutions.
00:34:04.000 This is fear-mongering.
00:34:05.000 There's MIT, there's Yale, there's West Virginia University, there's Kansas State University.
00:34:09.000 Yeah, if we want to have some research being conducted, we'll just send the money to a place that isn't actively grooming young Americans to be anti-American.
00:34:19.000 Is that fair enough?
00:34:22.000 That's another truth.
00:34:23.000 Harvard, their research has no allegiance whatsoever to the United States.
00:34:31.000 They trained members of the U.S.-sanctioned Chinese paramilitary groups.
00:34:35.000 To give you an idea, there was organ transplantation research with China-based researchers.
00:34:39.000 They collaborated with Iranian government researchers.
00:34:43.000 So you combine that with the course load.
00:34:44.000 You combine that with less than 3% of the professors who identify as conservative.
00:34:47.000 You combine that with students not allowed to speak freely by Harvard's own admission.
00:34:51.000 And I say, hey, the fact that you did some research on rickets.
00:34:58.000 Harvard hurts America.
00:35:00.000 And it's by design.
00:35:01.000 You don't end up with a faculty like that with 20-something percent of them say that they're moderate.
00:35:06.000 I guarantee you they define moderate as just not being crazy liberal.
00:35:09.000 Yes.
00:35:09.000 Right?
00:35:10.000 3% of the faculty and your students can't speak up?
00:35:13.000 You're like Jake Tapper coming back and going, oh, I'm so shocked!
00:35:16.000 It's a problem that we're beginning to think, we're beginning to approach how to fix.
00:35:21.000 Okay?
00:35:22.000 Tomorrow.
00:35:23.000 Fire a bunch of the liberals, start with the LGBTQAIP departments, and hire from half the country, the half that you have proactively kept out. 0.99
00:35:34.000 This is not an accident.
00:35:35.000 The most liberal district in San Francisco has more than 3% conservative.
00:35:41.000 Do you guys get that?
00:35:42.000 Just not Harvard!
00:35:44.000 Especially considering they have a business school, they have a law school.
00:35:46.000 Right, that's true.
00:35:47.000 You'd think that in that community there's And here's the thing.
00:35:53.000 If the students don't like it, I don't care.
00:35:54.000 I do not care.
00:35:56.000 Put conservative people in there.
00:35:58.000 Invite conservative speakers to campus.
00:35:59.000 Make sure that you have both viewpoints represented.
00:36:02.000 I don't care what you like, students.
00:36:04.000 You want all the races and all the friction preferences to be represented? 0.55
00:36:07.000 Hey, how about something that is representative of the voting electorate of the United States of America?
00:36:12.000 No, no, no.
00:36:12.000 Oh, we couldn't have that because something, something fascism?
00:36:14.000 Got it.
00:36:15.000 Just for more proof, by the way, when you're talking about the elites.
00:36:17.000 At Harvard, you're about to see a clip that includes Jody Friedman, who I believe is either a professor at Harvard or a lecturer, who was the counselor for energy and climate change for Barack Obama.
00:36:28.000 And here is the claim that she makes on this panel on CNN.
00:36:31.000 Hold on a second.
00:36:33.000 I thought you were a small government concern.
00:36:34.000 Harvard is a private institution and should remain private.
00:36:38.000 No government, regardless of the party in power, should really be dictating to private institutions, whether they're private universities or private companies, how they ought to run things.
00:36:51.000 This is a level of micromanagement that is really un-American, and we should be careful about this precedent, which I think is a dangerous precedent for the future.
00:37:01.000 Really?
00:37:01.000 Are you against micromanagement?
00:37:03.000 Jody Friedman, counselor for energy and climate change for Barack Obama?
00:37:08.000 Micromanagement?
00:37:08.000 Where do you line up on what Americans can drive?
00:37:10.000 What we can eat?
00:37:12.000 Where do you line up on green policy that, by the way, destroys many basic amenities for American middle class citizens?
00:37:21.000 Oh, okay.
00:37:21.000 That's right.
00:37:21.000 Sorry.
00:37:22.000 What you really mean here is micromanagement as far as not giving you more federal funding.
00:37:26.000 Because here's the truth.
00:37:28.000 Harvard is not a private institution by definition.
00:37:32.000 It's partially.
00:37:33.000 It's partially private.
00:37:34.000 Like, if I give you...
00:37:40.000 Okay?
00:37:41.000 And it is, let's say, half, let's say, two-third shepherd's pie. 1.00
00:37:46.000 But it's a third or it's a half shit. 0.99
00:37:50.000 Is that still shepherd's pie? 1.00
00:37:53.000 It depends on what area of Scotland.
00:37:56.000 Are we in India?
00:37:56.000 I guess.
00:37:57.000 Okay, I don't think.
00:38:00.000 All right, you guys, you got me.
00:38:02.000 You're supposed to lawyer for me, not against that.
00:38:04.000 Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:38:05.000 No, it is not.
00:38:07.000 So, it's not a private institution.
00:38:09.000 In 2024, Harvard received $686 million from the federal government.
00:38:15.000 So, it's 11% of its annual operating revenue.
00:38:18.000 But here's the crazy thing.
00:38:19.000 It's two-thirds of the research expenditures for Harvard.
00:38:23.000 It's a private institution.
00:38:25.000 Hey, you guys need our research, but why is two-thirds of it being funded by the federal government, by you, the American worker?
00:38:34.000 Does this exist in a vacuum?
00:38:35.000 Could there be somewhere else that Harvard might be able to get this money?
00:38:38.000 We just heard it's financially untenable.
00:38:40.000 I'm going, don't they have a 50-plus billion dollar endowment?
00:38:42.000 Oh, they do.
00:38:43.000 And in 2024, only $526 million privately of their own money was spent on research at Harvard.
00:38:50.000 Think about that for a second.
00:38:52.000 Hey, that's about 1%.
00:38:54.000 Oh, wait a second.
00:38:56.000 Two-thirds of your research funding comes from the government.
00:38:58.000 You spend less than 1% of your endowment.
00:39:00.000 I have a crazy solution.
00:39:02.000 Make it 2%.
00:39:07.000 They want you to believe that if this money goes away, your grandma's going to die of cancer, saying, oh, I wish Harvard would have been here.
00:39:15.000 By the way, cancer's still a thing.
00:39:16.000 Alzheimer's still a thing.
00:39:17.000 So we don't have a lot of confidence in the research coming out of these institutions.
00:39:21.000 I wonder why in the last few years.
00:39:23.000 Again, just take your spending of your own money from 1% to 2% and you'll make up the gap.
00:39:29.000 One thing that really surprised me about their endowment allocation, only 7%, and this is juxtaposed to the comments, we are a research university.
00:39:37.000 They're one of the best in the world.
00:39:38.000 I get it.
00:39:39.000 Only 7% of their endowment is earmarked towards research.
00:39:42.000 Only 7%.
00:39:43.000 And I'm like, well, yeah, when the federal government is giving you billions of dollars a year in research, and I get it sometimes you ask for that, but...
00:39:53.000 I'd be willing to bet that the board at Harvard could ask their donors to, hey, we lost this funding federally.
00:40:01.000 If you can spare a couple million instead of giving it to the basketball program, maybe they're not doing so good.
00:40:07.000 Maybe you give it to the research.
00:40:08.000 And by the way, they don't even need to do that.
00:40:10.000 Just make it 2%.
00:40:11.000 Just make it 2%.
00:40:13.000 Now we go on to this idea.
00:40:14.000 Harvard has a tax system.
00:40:17.000 They're a 501c3.
00:40:19.000 Now, I want to be clear about this.
00:40:21.000 I have seen this firsthand in churches, unless it's a black church, in which case they'll actually have senators and congressmen come up and say, vote Democrat. 0.86
00:40:26.000 But churches, you can comment below if you guys have been through this.
00:40:30.000 If you go to a church where it's inherently conservative, the pastor may say, hey, as Christians, we support the right to life, we support the traditional family, but they can't actively endorse or tell you how to vote.
00:40:41.000 They have to be very careful because they may lose their tax-exempt status.
00:40:45.000 501c3 means that you, as opposed to a c4, Means you are prohibited from engaging in anything sort of broaching political activism. 0.92
00:40:54.000 Okay?
00:40:55.000 I just showed you those courses at Harvard, right?
00:40:57.000 We're talking about black transnationalism, blah, blah. 0.80
00:41:01.000 It's pretty clear.
00:41:02.000 Also, the idea that it's a non-profit, it's a 501c3.
00:41:05.000 It's a non-profit.
00:41:07.000 Okay.
00:41:08.000 So when you think non-profit, you think charity.
00:41:11.000 You think doing it out of the goodness of your heart.
00:41:13.000 Yeah.
00:41:14.000 Business school professor at Harvard makes $1.9 million a year.
00:41:18.000 I don't think this includes benefits.
00:41:19.000 Computer science professor, $1.4 million a year.
00:41:22.000 The dean of arts and sciences, Claudine Gay, who had to step down because this person was found guilty of plagiarism multiple times, was making $1.4 million a year.
00:41:33.000 Hey, how about this?
00:41:34.000 No one at Harvard, if you're receiving federal funding, you're a 501c3, makes an income higher than the highest marginal tax bracket.
00:41:44.000 Are you telling people how to live their lives?
00:41:47.000 If you're receiving my money, we get to tell you how you spend it.
00:41:52.000 It's even worse.
00:41:53.000 Claudine Gay, sorry, I almost said gray.
00:41:55.000 Claudine Gay, actually, she's just stepped down as the president, but she still works there and still makes that money. 1.00
00:42:00.000 Still makes $1.4 million, even after all of the shenanigans.
00:42:04.000 We hold them to the rigorous standards of Harvard, sir.
00:42:07.000 She's a plagiarist! 1.00
00:42:09.000 She didn't do any research.
00:42:10.000 Actually, she did all the research and then just copied it down.
00:42:12.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:42:13.000 The research was, grok, write this shit. 1.00
00:42:17.000 Non-profit. 1.00
00:42:18.000 Hey, okay, no one who's a professor at a non-profit, you don't make more than $400,000 a year.
00:42:23.000 Well, we think they're worth more.
00:42:25.000 Okay, great.
00:42:25.000 Spend your own money.
00:42:26.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:42:26.000 We need your money.
00:42:27.000 Okay, then we cap it.
00:42:28.000 Well, that's not fair.
00:42:29.000 Okay, then spend your own money.
00:42:30.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:42:31.000 We need your money.
00:42:31.000 See this loop?
00:42:32.000 See this loop?
00:42:33.000 I don't know how you find yourselves here.
00:42:35.000 Don't you understand this?
00:42:36.000 You're an Ivy League school.
00:42:39.000 Here's the next claim that they make.
00:42:41.000 And they always try and do this jujitsu thing, like, I thought you were a government conservative.
00:42:45.000 And you know that they're about to try and ream you without lube when they try and make that claim, okay?
00:42:51.000 You know they're about to lie to you.
00:42:52.000 Here's their claim.
00:42:53.000 Oh, well, actually, Trump's actions, they amount to a pugilist.
00:42:57.000 This is a punitive fine.
00:42:58.000 So when the Trump administration decided, Okay, here's the truth.
00:43:19.000 He goes on to talk about the grants, $2 billion.
00:43:22.000 Grants are gifts, just to be clear.
00:43:24.000 This shows you the entitlement of the left.
00:43:26.000 This is why you cannot give a gift to a liberal.
00:43:32.000 They immediately become entitled.
00:43:35.000 Grants can be revoked by the federal government for noncompliance, particularly if you are telling people that our institutions of government are evil so long as white men are a part of it. 0.74
00:43:46.000 And they have frozen grants with other colleges.
00:43:54.000 I believe Northwestern is on that list.
00:43:56.000 You guys can fact check me there.
00:43:58.000 That's Trump.
00:44:00.000 Administrations on that?
00:44:01.000 Or other administrations on that?
00:44:02.000 That includes a mix.
00:44:03.000 It's happened many times.
00:44:04.000 This is not new.
00:44:05.000 This is not unprecedented.
00:44:07.000 And the standard, to me, if we're going to be freezing grants, if the federal government, if the taxpayer is going to be footing the bill, you better be benefiting and improving this country for the taxpayer.
00:44:22.000 Harvard is anti-American.
00:44:24.000 Harvard is discriminatory.
00:44:26.000 In their enrollment practices, in their hiring practices, Harvard has been living high on the hog, paying bloated salaries to people, in some cases who are plagiarists, who can never be fired.
00:44:37.000 Harvard has more than enough money to cover their own bills and they are choosing not to spend it.
00:44:43.000 And Harvard wants to play the victim without solving any problems.
00:44:47.000 And if anyone on the right relents on this, be it the president or if it ends up going through Congress, guess what?
00:44:52.000 They're going to go back to the same exact status quo where the institutions of higher education remain infiltrated by communists and they are trying to create a generation of mindless rules.
00:45:10.000 Revoke it, and I would say, Yukon Cornelius, the campus off, and push them out into the ocean if you can. 0.97
00:45:16.000 I don't think you can do that, but you can try.
00:45:18.000 But it goes to that point.
00:45:20.000 I like your last point, because that's really what this does come down to.
00:45:22.000 We do have a problem with American universities.
00:45:24.000 It's not a new problem.
00:45:25.000 We've known about this for a long time.
00:45:26.000 We've talked about it, where there are indoctrination factories.
00:45:29.000 Essentially indoctrinating people against all of the things that make this country great.
00:45:34.000 And if we don't start to change that right now, it's never going to change.
00:45:37.000 You're just going to keep having peace.
00:45:39.000 It's a constant flood of a problem.
00:45:40.000 Right.
00:45:41.000 With communism or...
00:45:43.000 Pick your pick your thing.
00:45:43.000 They they wouldn't even let a feminist philosopher on campus that that has to check all the boxes for them.
00:45:50.000 That should be the person they want on campus most because they didn't align on trans ideology like these. 0.97
00:45:55.000 These people are not our friends.
00:45:56.000 This is not just an institution teaching all viewpoints.
00:45:58.000 They have a goal, it seems, in how they're educating their students and their students.
00:46:04.000 Ended up being really horrible people a lot of times with their views.
00:46:06.000 Also, by the way, you can extend this to student debt.
00:46:09.000 Hey, let me ask you this.
00:46:10.000 If Harvard's getting $9 billion in federal funding, that's what they're examining, total of $2 billion have been frozen.
00:46:17.000 Do you think Harvard is more or less likely to have to create a product that people are willing to pay for?
00:46:24.000 If they make their net off of student loans, to be clear?
00:46:28.000 Which are basically guaranteed by the government, then you're going to have student loan forgiveness.
00:46:31.000 Hey, hold on a second.
00:46:32.000 If you're looking at Pell Grants, you're looking at all these government subsidies, are they incentivized to create a product directly for the customer or the student?
00:46:40.000 No.
00:46:41.000 So this also exacerbates the problem.
00:46:43.000 When it's not your money, you charge whatever you want, and we're seeing this from both sides.
00:46:49.000 It's not the money of Harvard, it's the taxpayer money, and in many cases, it's not the money of the student enrolling.
00:46:55.000 It's a loan that they may never pay back that ultimately the taxpayer may have to foot the bill for.
00:47:00.000 This is why we see astronomical inflation and their solution, of course, because it's Harvard and less than 3% are conservatives, student debt forgiveness.
00:47:07.000 So you can study trans history and genderqueer in Byzantium.
00:47:14.000 And here's the thing.
00:47:15.000 You know, we look at this and people go, hey, are there any solutions?
00:47:18.000 And very few things bother me more than seeing conservative commentators out there talk about how not everyone should go to university, but they do.
00:47:23.000 They're...
00:47:29.000 You see it all the time.
00:47:32.000 Trade schools.
00:47:34.000 And by the way, you don't even necessarily need trade schools in many fields of employment or starting a business right now.
00:47:38.000 It's more accessible to everybody.
00:47:40.000 So again, we see this administration providing a solution, to be clear.
00:47:46.000 In this case, one of the beneficiaries, this is President Trump, wrote about this on Truth Social.
00:47:50.000 He said, I am considering taking $3 billion of grant money away from a very anti-Semitic Harvard and giving it to trade schools all across our land.
00:48:02.000 So many trade schools.
00:48:04.000 What a great investment that would be for the USA.
00:48:08.000 And so badly needed.
00:48:10.000 And I think this is actually a great idea.
00:48:12.000 I'll get into why until you take into consideration that the left will eventually get their hands into trade schools.
00:48:31.000 I didn't even take a class for that.
00:48:32.000 No, you didn't.
00:48:34.000 Splinters for days.
00:48:35.000 Tenured professor.
00:48:36.000 I went from memory.
00:48:37.000 I'm just going to lay this out for you.
00:48:38.000 So in case those of you who want to skip ahead are like, I don't have time for this.
00:48:43.000 Investing in trade schools will fix a labor shortage.
00:48:45.000 Kids who do it are happier, make more money, and they do better.
00:48:49.000 They're saddled with less debt, just to be clear.
00:48:50.000 So it's a better investment.
00:48:51.000 It makes more sense.
00:48:52.000 And I would recommend it over in Ivy League University unless you need a degree specifically for law or medicine.
00:48:56.000 Key fact one here.
00:48:58.000 References available.
00:48:59.000 Link in the description.
00:49:00.000 We have 7 million able-bodied men ages 25 to 54 who are not working nor looking for work.
00:49:08.000 Now, sometimes the left will say, well, they're not qualified for the work.
00:49:11.000 Okay.
00:49:12.000 Let's make them qualified. 0.99
00:49:14.000 How about that?
00:49:15.000 We have a labor force participation rate of 62.7, 63.7.
00:49:19.000 We're not going to make them qualified through genderqueer basket-weaving studies at Brown. 1.00
00:49:24.000 Gonna make them qualified with a trade school.
00:49:26.000 So here's a very specific example.
00:49:27.000 439,000 new net construction jobs are needed in 2025 alone.
00:49:33.000 You're willing to work, you go to a trade school, you can start working immediately and make good money.
00:49:38.000 The same cannot be said for your Ivy League degree.
00:49:41.000 Great money.
00:49:42.000 And you have a skill.
00:49:43.000 Exactly.
00:49:43.000 There you go.
00:49:44.000 Here's a key fact.
00:49:45.000 Second one.
00:49:48.000 I mean, it's actually just a good investment if you look at dollars.
00:49:50.000 So, like, the average cost for...
00:49:57.000 It can be as low as $2,000.
00:49:59.000 Bachelor's degree is anywhere from $90,000 to $200,000.
00:50:02.000 Now let's look at the starting salaries.
00:50:04.000 A bachelor's degree, if you get a job in that field of work, which many people don't, $70,000.
00:50:10.000 Trade school, the average after an apprenticeship, which can be completed in the same amount of time it takes to get a bachelor's degree, $72,000.
00:50:17.000 And you're making money while doing your apprenticeship.
00:50:21.000 It's way less money up front.
00:50:23.000 And you can make way more money on the back end.
00:50:26.000 Or at least equivalent.
00:50:29.000 Or at least at starting.
00:50:30.000 I mean, these kids are getting out of college and their starting wages aren't covering their student loans.
00:50:33.000 No, not at all.
00:50:34.000 Student loans, the same starting wage.
00:50:37.000 Also, you have to compound that, right?
00:50:38.000 If you make that money initially and you're not You could invest it.
00:50:44.000 That's why you have so many people.
00:50:45.000 You're like, how did this guy who just worked construction, he was a carpenter, how did he retire so young?
00:50:49.000 He was able to start investing and saving when he was 18. Buy a lead of trucks, buy a bunch of tools, hire workers, now you've got your own contracting business.
00:50:57.000 Yep.
00:50:58.000 And I know what you'll say, Ivy Leaguers, even though you make millions of dollars.
00:51:00.000 The professor's there.
00:51:01.000 It's not all about money.
00:51:03.000 I get it.
00:51:03.000 It's a Disney film, right?
00:51:04.000 Where Dad is a Harry Chapin song who's always out working.
00:51:07.000 Working is bad.
00:51:08.000 The patriarchal system is bad.
00:51:09.000 And for some reason, those in higher education are inherently altruistic, even though you collect mammoth salaries.
00:51:14.000 All right.
00:51:15.000 Got it.
00:51:16.000 Let's take this to personal happiness and satisfaction.
00:51:19.000 People who graduate from trade schools are actually happier or satisfied.
00:51:25.000 The statistics on somewhat are very satisfied.
00:51:27.000 91% those who graduated from trade school.
00:51:30.000 Let's contrast that with those who have a bachelor's degree.
00:51:34.000 Only 56% of those with bachelor's degrees are satisfied.
00:51:38.000 So 56 to 91, let's call the money a wash, only you don't have a bunch of debt.
00:51:42.000 Hey, why are we putting $3 billion, $8 billion into Harvard again?
00:51:48.000 It's a lie.
00:51:50.000 It's a lie.
00:51:51.000 The irony here is that you'll have some pothead at a university tell you, and we're not having a conversation about weed right now. 0.99
00:51:58.000 Shut up. 0.98
00:51:58.000 But you'll have some pothead to you like, man, look, it's the system, man. 0.98
00:52:02.000 While he is the beneficiary and a product of that system.
00:52:06.000 He is a part of that system.
00:52:08.000 You want to be outside the system?
00:52:10.000 Learn a valuable skill set.
00:52:13.000 Have some kind of a marketable service.
00:52:13.000 Okay?
00:52:16.000 Start a family. 0.93
00:52:20.000 You want to go nuts?
00:52:22.000 You want to be Sid Vicious? 0.92
00:52:23.000 You want to be a real rebel?
00:52:25.000 Single parent income household.
00:52:27.000 Oh my god.
00:52:28.000 The insanity.
00:52:30.000 That's the way.
00:52:31.000 The system is, go to school, saddle yourself with debt, male or female. 0.87
00:52:35.000 Girls can do everything men can do, and men can not really do everything girls can do, but that's neither here nor there.
00:52:39.000 Dual income household. 0.99
00:52:41.000 Enter into that rat race while you bitch about corporate America. 1.00
00:52:45.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:52:45.000 While trying to pay off student debt and buy a house when it's unaffordable. 0.99
00:52:48.000 Right.
00:52:49.000 Plus, by the way, more investments in trade schools means less accidents on the job side like the job site.
00:52:55.000 I can't even get to it.
00:52:56.000 Like this.
00:52:57.000 *laughter*
00:53:01.000 You know, I'm starting to think that's a lady. 1.00
00:53:12.000 Red Ritz LAUGHTER LAUGHTER That's what he said.
00:53:21.000 I think there was a bun on the back.
00:53:27.000 I think it might have been a gal.
00:53:29.000 No, it's just an Asian guy. 0.60
00:53:30.000 I didn't notice, too, when he said the butt clenched.
00:53:34.000 Yeah, you see that time?
00:53:38.000 Hold it in! 0.76
00:53:43.000 You think you can transfer that if you ever get electrocuted and, like, clinch because you will crap your pants? 0.93
00:53:48.000 I think you could crack a walnut on there. 0.97
00:53:50.000 You really could.
00:53:51.000 No poops getting out.
00:53:54.000 Maybe that's what he was saying.
00:53:56.000 I can't pull!
00:53:59.000 It's so funny.
00:54:00.000 Look out below!
00:54:02.000 It's a human cartoon.
00:54:05.000 I think the reason it's so funny.
00:54:09.000 The feet were on the ladder.
00:54:11.000 And then they made the choice to straighten them.
00:54:14.000 Like, it was a perfect life.
00:54:15.000 I don't know if it's a choice to you.
00:54:16.000 I think that's all involuntary.
00:54:16.000 It's not.
00:54:18.000 Yeah, at that point.
00:54:19.000 You keep thinking it's a choice.
00:54:21.000 I don't think it's a choice.
00:54:22.000 I know.
00:54:23.000 I know it's not.
00:54:23.000 But then it creates the problem of, now I'm gonna fall.
00:54:26.000 I know.
00:54:27.000 There's no good choice.
00:54:29.000 There's no good way out of this.
00:54:30.000 I tell you what the good way would have been beforehand to go to trade school.
00:54:32.000 There you go.
00:54:33.000 Tie it all back.
00:54:34.000 Don't touch live wires.
00:54:35.000 Yeah, you would have learned.
00:54:37.000 Open a circuit.
00:54:39.000 By the way, if you guys are not, and I'm going to go to the last key fact here, if you guys are not Rumble Premium members, we're going to be talking about RFK Jr. as well today.
00:54:46.000 We could never talk about this on YouTube.

00:55:07.000 That's all that we ask.
00:55:08.000 And, of course, you get everything ad-free and more show, more content, all of it.
00:55:11.000 All right.
00:55:11.000 Key fact number three.
00:55:12.000 So trade school.
00:55:14.000 We've gone through all the pros, but here's another one.
00:55:16.000 You can be in business for yourself and you actually are more likely to find success that way if you've gone to trade school or, frankly, if you don't, in many cases, go to university.
00:55:27.000 So over half of small business owners have no college degree.
00:55:32.000 Jeez.
00:55:33.000 Whatsoever.
00:55:34.000 And only 61% of all business owners think that college is very or somewhat important.
00:55:39.000 So it's about a split.
00:55:41.000 It's a split as far as how many business owners have a college degree and how many of them think that a college degree is important on both sides.
00:55:46.000 And I'd argue that 61% that do think that it is necessary or important, somewhat important, is they learn how business works.
00:55:54.000 Right.
00:55:55.000 Yeah.
00:55:55.000 How to balance it.
00:55:56.000 Not everyone learns that.
00:55:57.000 No, not everyone learns that at all.
00:55:59.000 As a matter of fact, you have people who, I mean, I don't know what it is when kids study economics, because I've met so many people who have degrees in economics from very prestigious schools who don't understand it at all.
00:56:08.000 I mean, basic fundamental economics.
00:56:11.000 It's not an exact science, that's the problem.
00:56:13.000 How do you graduate from economics and never read Smith?
00:56:16.000 How do you graduate and have a degree in economics and never read Seoul if you're going to be reading all kinds of, you read Krugman?
00:56:26.000 I think that now you are actually at a net deficit if you spend four years or if you're going for a master's degree or PhD.
00:56:33.000 Six years, you know, in Gerald's case, nine at university.
00:56:37.000 I think you're actually starting off at a deficit.
00:56:40.000 I really do.
00:56:41.000 I really do.
00:56:41.000 I just don't think that it doesn't make sense in 2025.
00:56:45.000 And I think the veil has been taken off here.
00:56:48.000 It's been torn off at this point.
00:56:49.000 We now know that these are indoctrination institutions.
00:56:52.000 Yeah.
00:56:53.000 And hey, if you want to do that, fine.
00:56:55.000 Fund it yourself.
00:56:56.000 Fund your own propaganda.
00:56:58.000 I mean, think about the impact that this would have.
00:57:02.000 One, you'd have a lot more people who rightfully should be in a trade program, getting skills to make great money.
00:57:07.000 And I say rightfully should be in a trade program, meaning that's where their interest probably lies.
00:57:10.000 That's where they're going to have the most success in life. 1.00
00:57:13.000 Not because it's like, yeah, you're stupid, go to a trade program. 1.00
00:57:16.000 I think that's what the binary is right now. 1.00
00:57:17.000 It's like, if you're smart, you go to college. 0.99
00:57:18.000 If you're dumb, you go to something else. 0.99
00:57:20.000 And that's just not true. 1.00
00:57:22.000 That's not practically what happens.
00:57:23.000 But think about what that would do to universities.
00:57:25.000 One, it would stop them from just churning out people that hate America, or at least start out hating America. 0.96
00:57:31.000 the longer you go when you have kids and have a family, you start to get more conservative because you're like, wait a minute, I'm kind of shaking off all that crap that I learned in college. 0.73
00:57:38.000 It would lower the price of $2.
00:57:42.000 It would change fundamentally how universities structure themselves to be able to attract more people when the government is not just handing money out hand over fist.
00:57:50.000 And you start to kind of reimagine how this would work.
00:57:53.000 It's a much, much, much better system.
00:57:55.000 And right now, it's just there is no way to fix this other than kind of blowing it up like Trump is doing right now with Harvard.
00:58:02.000 I don't know if it's just Harvard or if he's making a point.
00:58:06.000 I think he's making a point.
00:58:07.000 Maybe it's both, right?
00:58:07.000 So maybe he's making a point like, look, we have to fix this as institutions in the United States.
00:58:11.000 If we don't, we're going to have the same problems we've always had.
00:58:13.000 When people talk about how long Harvard has been around or any of these schools...
00:58:17.000 Tell me that.
00:58:18.000 Tell me the Christian roots of all of these universities, basically to train pastors.
00:58:22.000 Yeah, that's a big part.
00:58:23.000 That's the founding!
00:58:24.000 And then we went through a phase where it expanded, but here's the thing.
00:58:26.000 There was a transition, namely in the 60s.
00:58:28.000 And this was by design, by the way, with Marxists deliberately infiltrating institutions.
00:58:33.000 You see it, of course, with the CIA and FBI, and you see it with Ivy League schools.
00:58:37.000 This is not a conspiracy theory, by the way.
00:58:38.000 You can go back and you can read JFK talk about this.
00:58:42.000 You can hear MLK Jr. talk about this.
00:58:47.000 University College went from being about preparing people for work to be productive members of society to an experience.
00:58:56.000 University College was not sold as an experience.
00:58:59.000 It was a means to an end.
00:59:00.000 Trade school still is.
00:59:01.000 And that's one thing that is fundamental that I think you miss in a lot of higher education today.
00:59:07.000 And let me make the case here is, okay, you go to a four-year program in some kind of a degree, let's say philosophy.
00:59:14.000 Okay.
00:59:17.000 You're getting a little further away from being prepared for real life or developing a work ethic.
00:59:23.000 Oh wait, you're taking out student loans so you don't work your way through college and you'll kind of pay it off later and there might be student loan forgiveness.
00:59:30.000 Okay, you're a little further away.
00:59:32.000 Each change that we have made has taken people further away from the original purpose of college.
00:59:38.000 And I will say this, foundationally, I have met a lot of people who graduate with bachelor's degrees.
00:59:43.000 Who have no work ethic.
00:59:44.000 And the first thing they will tell you is, I am so grateful for my college experience because, you know, it really taught me to do hard work.
00:59:51.000 Like, I had subjects that I didn't like, but I had to study for the test.
00:59:53.000 Okay, how about making cabinets?
00:59:57.000 How about fixing an HVAC system?
00:59:59.000 You think that you learned a work ethic by having to study in an air-conditioned dormitory between nights of alcoholism for a subject that you kind of voluntarily chose?
01:00:08.000 You think that that is going to help prepare you for the real world more than actually starting the craft or trade of your chosen profession?
01:00:17.000 You can have people who get masters.
01:00:19.000 I know someone who had a masters, no joke, in German poetry.
01:00:23.000 What?
01:00:24.000 Yeah!
01:00:25.000 Why would you do that?
01:00:27.000 To teach German poetry!
01:00:27.000 To understand Mein Kampf?
01:00:30.000 Well, the man was a silver-tongued devil. 0.88
01:00:33.000 Oh, really? 0.93
01:00:34.000 There once was a train.
01:00:36.000 There once was a train in Berlin.
01:00:40.000 Let's make it Poland.
01:00:42.000 It went very fast in Poland.
01:00:44.000 Yes.
01:00:45.000 But seriously, you have kids who graduate and they don't develop a work ethic.
01:00:49.000 If anything, they develop an ethic, a work ethic in how to do college.
01:00:54.000 And it's so far removed from real life.
01:00:57.000 The college experience for a lot of people, for most people throughout its history was, okay, you went, you took this course load in your chosen vocation, and you worked your way through it to pay for it.
01:01:07.000 Now it's change your major.
01:01:09.000 Now it's same cost regardless of degree or how useful it is in the real world.
01:01:15.000 Student debt, maybe I pay it off.
01:01:17.000 Maybe I don't.
01:01:18.000 It can be restructured.
01:01:20.000 Maybe it's forgiven.
01:01:22.000 Maybe move back in with mom and dad and stay on their health care until 26. And all of this, by the way, it lends itself to the problem that we have of male-female dynamics, of gender, of the nuclear family, because you have people continuing their stage of adolescence into their mid-20s before they even think about what used to be the real world.
01:01:45.000 And people are upset that we're saying, all right, if this is what you want to do, fund it yourself.
01:01:50.000 Like, that's where we are.
01:01:51.000 I genuinely, I'm not just saying, and I have children, if they want to go to a specific school to study something that requires a degree, of course I'll be supportive.
01:01:59.000 But if not, I'm not going to tell them, you absolutely have to go to college.
01:02:04.000 You absolutely, hey, I want to see the most impressive name on that diploma that I possibly can.
01:02:09.000 No, I want to sit, look, we should treat this part of our life cycle as we do any other.
01:02:15.000 Problem.
01:02:16.000 Any other puzzle to solve?
01:02:17.000 It's all right.
01:02:17.000 Let's sit down.
01:02:18.000 What is it that you want out of this?
01:02:19.000 What is it that you are willing to sacrifice?
01:02:22.000 And what does the end game look like?
01:02:24.000 With college, we go, oh, it's just a great experience.
01:02:29.000 You know who you don't?
01:02:30.000 Here's one thing, too.
01:02:31.000 And you guys can comment below.
01:02:32.000 It always bothered me when I would hear people say, oh, college, best years of my life. 0.99
01:02:37.000 Your family's right there, dickhead. 0.99
01:02:39.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:02:40.000 Like, it shouldn't.
01:02:41.000 You don't hear people who say, you know what?
01:02:43.000 I didn't go to college.
01:02:44.000 I started a business.
01:02:45.000 They're usually, in my experience as anecdotal, more likely to say, you know, and I'm the happiest I've ever been with my family.
