00:00:30.000 My dear conservative friends, we need to talk.
00:00:33.320 This is more of an intervention than anything else.
00:00:36.180 You have to stop protecting institutions that are committed to destroying your way of life.
00:00:41.820 The university system hates you.
00:00:44.200 Yes, you.
00:00:45.460 It always has.
00:00:46.760 And it will continue to hate you until it's dismantled brick by brick and replaced with something else.
00:00:52.520 Something better.
00:00:53.920 The universities are just never going to be into you.
00:00:56.880 And if two factions of the left want to destroy themselves while shutting down college campuses,
00:01:03.060 well, that's what we in politics like to call a win.
00:01:05.640 You don't need to ride to the rescue.
00:01:08.720 You aren't the white knight in this scenario.
00:01:11.360 Just grab some popcorn, enjoy the show.
00:01:14.720 I promise this is going to work out in your favor if you'll just let it.
00:01:20.180 Protests surrounding the Hamas terror attacks on October 7th in Gaza and the subsequent response by Israel have now raged on college campuses across the country for weeks.
00:01:30.280 The establishment left is nominally pro-Israel due to a legacy attachment to the nation and the need to maintain a healthy relationship with major donors.
00:01:40.080 The more radical leftist vanguard has drunk deeply from the well of wokeness and made the natural connection between anti-European decolonization rhetoric and Israel,
00:01:50.960 which is now identified as a white colonial oppressor.
00:01:54.640 Jews have been stalwart Democratic voters for a long time and have avoided being dropped to the bottom of the party's oppression hierarchy.
00:02:04.460 But the arrangement is now being called into question by other members of the coalition.
00:02:09.420 The left has imported and elevated a generation of immigrants who feel no attachment to America's past relationship with Israel,
00:02:19.520 and many in the vanguard come from cultures that are openly hostile to the Jewish nation.
00:02:26.000 The progressive coalition has always been tenuous,
00:02:28.940 and October 7th created an eruption across the most critical fault line that has manifested as an intra-leftist civil war playing out on college campuses.
00:02:38.040 Now, most opposing political parties would recognize this as a gift from on high,
00:02:44.260 but the Republicans have several specific hang-ups that compel them to solve this problem for their opponents.
00:02:52.560 The conservative impulse to protect institutions is an admirable one.
00:02:56.940 In a healthy society, institutions are the formal structures that help to enshrine a culture's values and transmit them to the next generation.
00:03:05.800 But American society is not healthy,
00:03:08.460 and the long march through the institutions perpetrated by the left has installed a hostile ideology deep into the heart of the university system.
00:03:19.020 When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?
00:03:22.620 When your famous grainy mustard potato salad isn't so famous without the grainy mustard.
00:03:27.480 When the barbecue's lit, but there's nothing to grill.
00:03:30.140 When the in-laws decide that, actually, they will stay for dinner.
00:03:33.420 Instacart has all your groceries covered this summer.
00:03:36.500 So download the app and get delivery in as fast as 60 minutes.
00:03:40.080 Plus, enjoy $0 delivery fees on your first three orders.
00:03:43.780 Service fees exclusions and terms apply.
00:03:46.000 Instacart. Groceries that over-deliver.
00:03:49.580 College campuses are not places of learning where promising young minds develop the leadership skills necessary to forge a brighter future.
00:03:58.700 These institutions are progressive seminaries where students go deeply into debt to learn how to hate their parents, religion, and nation.
00:04:08.720 This ideological poison is then distributed through every major corporation, piece of entertainment, and news headline as college graduates take their places as leaders and managers throughout society.
00:04:22.880 Conservatives have complained for decades that public schools are hostile indoctrination centers designed to secure leftist hegemony, and they were correct.
00:04:34.100 But when the pandemic hit and shut down those enemy institutions, conservatives became the most vocal proponents of reopening them.
00:04:42.180 That very same dynamic is currently playing itself out on university campuses.
00:04:49.600 Conservatives may complain about the education system, but they're ultimately defenders of the status quo,
00:04:57.060 and would rather see these institutions continue to operate, even if they're calling for the literal destruction of the United States.
00:05:05.580 Part of this response is linked to the natural and admirable conservative impulse towards order.
00:05:13.500 Conservatives recoil at the idea of violence and intimidation on these campuses,
00:05:18.880 and where Republican governors are in charge, they should absolutely protect the physical safety of all students.
00:05:27.360 But there's also an impulse among many Republican politicians to punish public criticism of Israel,
00:05:34.500 and this is a serious problem.
00:05:37.600 The right has spent endless hours, tons of YouTube videos, so many podcasts,
00:05:43.420 mocking the leftist idea of hate speech and safe spaces.
00:05:48.180 But now many GOP politicians are suddenly obsessed with implementing exactly those policies.
00:05:56.280 Governors like Greg Abbott of Texas and Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, for example,
00:06:01.940 have come out in favor of cracking down on quote-unquote hate speech and anti-Semitism in the wake of these protests.
00:06:11.120 It's becoming very hard not to notice that most of these politicians took no action,
00:06:18.440 as anti-white rhetoric and demonstrations dominated academia for the last decade,
00:06:24.680 to the point where that ideology has now made its way into several best-selling books.
00:06:31.780 The Democrats are already facing a critical election,
00:06:36.880 in which they have to run a deeply unpopular dementia patient
00:06:41.560 against a former president who maintains a strong base of support,
00:06:46.380 despite being hit with an endless barrage of fake criminal charges.
00:06:50.960 The very last thing that the left wanted was a civil war on college campuses
00:06:57.520 that exposed the disastrous contradictions at the heart of its coalition.
00:07:03.860 The only thing, and I really mean the only thing,
00:07:07.640 that could possibly rescue the Democrats from this nightmare scenario
00:07:12.640 would be footage of Republican governors sending in police to violently suppress protesters.
00:07:19.660 This would bail out the establishment and allow mainstream liberals to put the woke vanguard in its place
00:07:28.320 while pointing at the GOP as the real enemy,
00:07:32.380 a unifying symbol of authority to hate.
00:07:36.440 Look, I know that the gut instinct of the right is to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory,
00:07:42.760 but the GOP must sit on their hands and just let this play out.
00:07:48.260 Try, for a moment, to imagine any scenario where two factions inside the right are destroying each other
00:07:57.620 and humiliating themselves in an election year,
00:08:01.100 and the left just dives on the grenade for the conservatives.
00:08:04.980 You can't, because it would never, ever happen.
00:08:08.420 Again, red state governors should maintain the safety of those under their care,
00:08:15.720 but otherwise leave leftists to their own devices.
00:08:20.140 Let those factions fight.
00:08:22.200 In the worst case scenario, what?
00:08:24.340 Some kids don't get to attend Hate America 101?
00:08:27.380 And in the best case, things get so bad that the Democratic coalition rends itself asunder
00:08:35.000 while desperate parents plead for the right to reform the university system from the ground up.
00:08:41.460 I am begging you, my conservative allies,
00:08:45.900 just take the easy win.
00:08:48.240 Just this once.
