00:00:34.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:36.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:38.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:42.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:45.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:46.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:47.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:49.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:54.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:00:55.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:04.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:08.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:16.000 Things are changing.
00:01:18.000 After 9-11, we saw a massive change in American politics.
00:01:22.000 After COVID, we saw a massive change in American politics.
00:01:26.000 And after Israel's 9-11, we are seeing a similar change in the American political landscape.
00:01:34.000 For years, we have been focused here at Turning Point USA.
00:01:38.000 In fact, I wrote a whole book called The College Scam.
00:01:42.000 College Scam, How America's Universities Are Bankrupting and Brainwashing Away the Future of America's Youth.
00:01:47.000 We talked about how universities are a threat to the American Republic.
00:01:52.000 I want to introduce you to somebody.
00:01:54.000 I've never met him.
00:01:56.000 He's a Democrat donor regime type.
00:01:59.000 He's probably best known for making nearly $2.5 billion for shorting the market right before COVID on March 3rd, 2020.
00:02:07.000 That's where I first was made aware of him.
00:02:09.000 He made a $27 million short of the market, ended up netting him $2.6 billion during COVID.
00:02:16.000 He has a very unique investment style.
00:02:18.000 He only invests in seven or eight stocks.
00:02:21.000 He goes all in on seven or eight companies.
00:02:23.000 He's done some activist stuff in years past.
00:02:25.000 Of course, I'm talking about Bill Ackman.
00:02:28.000 Bill Ackman is somebody that most Americans don't know of.
00:02:32.000 He hasn't done anything that radical, but he's donated tons of money to Planned Parenthood.
00:02:37.000 He's donated to Richard Blumenthal, Chuck U. Schumer, Robert Menendez, the Democrat National Committee, the Democrat Senatorial Committee.
00:02:44.000 He has been very, very generous to Jewish causes, including the Center for Jewish History, the Innocence Project as well, and Centurion Ministries in Princeton, New Jersey.
00:02:55.000 He's a typical New York Wall Street type donor.
00:03:00.000 Nothing overly radical, not like George Soros, but certainly not investing in causes that would strengthen the United States of America.
00:03:10.000 There's many people like Bill Ackman, Harvard-educated, regime type, promoted the COVID vaccine. 0.58
00:03:17.000 So you don't spend much time thinking about people like him.
00:03:20.000 It's not that different than other Wall Street types.
00:03:23.000 But October 7th changed everything.
00:03:26.000 Bill Ackman is an independent thinker.
00:03:29.000 We saw evidence of this where Bill Ackman, out of nowhere during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, Bill Ackman tweeted out saying Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself.
00:03:42.000 Bill Ackman looks at the data, he looks at the facts, and he comes to a conclusion.
00:03:46.000 Now, being raised in New York Jewish life and going to Harvard, he tilted to the center left.
00:03:55.000 In fact, gave a lot of money to the left.
00:03:57.000 Probably didn't think much of it.
00:03:58.000 It's just what you do.
00:03:59.000 Bill Ackman has been a major donor to Harvard, pledged $15 million.
00:04:04.000 In fact, he has signed a pledge to give away half of his net worth by the end of his life to charitable causes.
00:04:09.000 And he's worth about $4 billion.
00:04:13.000 And he has all the toys of a billionaire.
00:04:16.000 Big plane, homes, mansions, you name it.
00:04:20.000 But Bill Ackman will look at the data, and evidently he is willing to say something about it.
00:04:30.000 After October 7th, Bill Ackman led the charge in calling out Harvard, which has become a threat to the American homeland, a threat to our country, when 31 student organizations came out in support of Hamas's butchery, the attempted Holocaust of the Jewish people in the nation of Israel.
00:04:49.000 Not where they targeted army installations or military camps.
00:04:53.000 They went after babies.
00:04:55.000 They went after children for multiple hours.
00:04:58.000 They were sitting ducks.
00:05:00.000 And the Harvard organizations applauded it with enthusiasm, with vigor, with passion.
00:05:09.000 Bill Ackman saw this as a prominent Harvard graduate.
00:05:14.000 He received his Bachelor of Arts degree, magnum cum laude, in social studies from Harvard, a major donor, and well known in high finance circles in New York as being one of the Harvard gatekeepers, well-connected, well-respected, gave money to all the right causes.
00:05:32.000 But Bill Ackman saw enough.
00:05:34.000 Bill Ackman saw the rapes, the murders by Hamas against Israel, and he was speechless when Harvard was celebrating it.
00:05:45.000 Not just one fringe person, not one professor, but it seemed institutionally that Harvard and 31 student organizations came out and said, glory to our martyrs.
00:05:59.000 Bill Ackman then came out and said, I will not hire a single person who participated in this post Harvard University, a post-Harvard University sort of activity.
00:06:11.000 He said, we will not hire those people.
00:06:13.000 He famously was supportive of putting the names and faces of the students that were involved in this.
00:06:21.000 Bill Ackman tried to get the attention of the president of Harvard, President Gay.
00:06:28.000 President Gay is in front of Congress right now, having to answer for what Harvard University has become.
00:06:36.000 Bill Ackman tried to get the attention of President Gay in charge of Harvard, did everything he possibly could.
00:06:43.000 He's worth $4 billion.
00:06:45.000 He's a major donor.
00:06:46.000 You would think that someone gives or pledges $17 million, you could get the CEO on the phone.
00:06:52.000 I could tell you this: if somebody were to give Turning Point USA $17 million, I would take that phone call.
00:06:58.000 President Gay ignored Bill Ackman.
00:07:01.000 Bill Ackman is part of a trend.
00:07:05.000 It is a promising trend.
00:07:07.000 I think it's just beginning.
00:07:08.000 It is a trend of wealthy elites that at times have financed and participated in behavior that is self-destructive, and they are publicly reconsidering.
00:07:23.000 And I think one person deserves the most credit for blazing this trail, Elon Musk.
00:07:29.000 I think Elon Musk, purchasing Twitter, Elon Musk speaking out on these things, has created space for other elites to do the same.
00:07:39.000 So Bill Ackman tried to get the president of Harvard's attention.
00:07:42.000 Hey, President Gay, can we have a meeting?
00:07:44.000 Phone call, ignored.
00:07:46.000 So Bill Ackman went public.
00:07:50.000 In one of the most powerful letters that I have seen in the last couple of years, especially in regards to colleges and higher education, Bill Ackman wrote and published a public letter to the president of Harvard.
00:08:04.000 Bill Ackman did his homework in his research.
00:08:06.000 He has whistleblowers of professors and faculty members that acknowledge and admit what Harvard has become.
00:08:12.000 Now, when you first start reading this letter, you think, okay, Bill Ackman is going to say, how dare you, President Gay? 0.93
00:08:19.000 Harvard University has become a hotbed of anti-Semitism, and that's not okay.
00:08:24.000 He says that, but he goes a step two, three, four further.
00:08:31.000 Bill Ackman doesn't just say that it's a hotbed of anti-Semitism.
00:08:35.000 Bill Ackman articulates in great detail that Harvard is producing anti-American and anti-white activists.
00:08:35.000 No, no, no.
00:08:46.000 His words that are infiltrating the rest of the country.
00:08:51.000 He has whistleblowers from Harvard that say years ago, Harvard stopped being a place where all perspectives were welcome.
00:08:56.000 Quote, Harvard is a place where loud-filled, hate-filled protests appear to be encouraged, but where faculty and students can't share points of view that are inconsistent with the accepted narrative on campus.
00:09:06.000 Harvard became a place where if you throw the party line, there was applause.
00:09:09.000 If you disagree, you're drowned out.
00:09:10.000 The gatekeepers of speech continue to further narrow what they deem acceptable.
00:09:16.000 Continues.
00:09:18.000 When Bill Ackman asked the faculty about the causes behind the Israeli Gaza protests and the tolerance of anti-Semitism on campus, you would think that Bill Ackman was reading from the Charlie Kirk Show transcripts.
00:09:29.000 Get this.
00:09:30.000 It's unbelievable.
00:09:33.000 Whiteness at Harvard is deemed fundamentally oppressive.
00:09:36.000 Indigenous peoples are presented as a need of justice and reparations.
00:09:40.000 Jews are presented as white people. 0.94
00:09:42.000 It is therefore okay to hate Israel and Jews as they are deemed to be oppressors. 1.00
00:09:47.000 Boy, we've been making that argument since the very first day.
00:09:50.000 We said, once you create the framework for a generation to view the world through a certain lens, don't be shocked when they apply that lens to Israel. 0.94
00:09:58.000 That is cultural Marxism.
00:10:00.000 Bill Ackman was once a financier and a funder of these ideas, but wait till you see the kicker of the letter.
00:10:07.000 This is a very promising trend, everybody, of people that were once complicit with their funding and their alliance to the worst institutions are now defecting and are at war with them.
00:10:20.000 Tis the season to see beautiful pine trees covered in snow, but have you read about pine needle extract?
00:10:26.000 No, I'm serious.
00:10:27.000 About the hottest new trend is adding pine needle extract to your daily tea or coffee.
00:10:32.000 Pine needles contain one of the most intriguing compounds found naturally with only a certain species of pine trees called shimimic acid.
00:10:41.000 This is a product.
00:10:42.000 It's wild harvested, kept wrought alive by Ascent Nutrition.
00:10:45.000 Pine needle extract qualifies as a superfood because of over the 200 bioactive vitamins, nutrients, and minerals, amino acids, and enzymes to bring to your body.
00:10:54.000 This extract naturally contains nature's highest source of DHEA, which people call the happiness hormone.
00:11:02.000 The reported benefits are extensive, so I encourage you to research and ask your doctor about the supplement.
00:11:07.000 Because it is wild harvested, it's made in small batches.
00:11:09.000 That means it is about to sell out for the holidays.
00:11:12.000 This particular product sells out fast every time a new shipment drops.
00:11:16.000 I put it in my coffee and you should too.
00:11:16.000 So go now.
00:11:18.000 If you've got someone you're thinking of on your Christmas list who would love this in their stocking, check out the hottest new health trend for your health-conscious loved ones.

00:11:51.000 So Bill Ackman writes here, and again, I just want to reemphasize this: this guy is a regime dude.
00:11:57.000 He donates to all the fashionable stuff: Planned Parenthood, Chuck U. Schumer, Museum This, Museum Y, Sign the Pledge.
00:12:05.000 He's in that kind of protected class.
00:12:08.000 He doesn't have to be doing this.
00:12:10.000 This here is a tomahawk missile against the educational regime.
00:12:18.000 This here is not just, by the way, millions of people have viewed this tweet, about 5 million people at the last counting, but it's also Bill Ackman is an opinion shaper.
00:12:28.000 He's extremely smart and very, very well respected amongst high society elites.
00:12:35.000 So when Bill Ackman writes this, you better believe that thousands of other Harvard alumni, hundreds of other Wall Street types are saying, oh boy, if Bill Ackman is saying this.
00:12:46.000 Understand, Bill Ackman is now an investor in X and has defended X against the advertiser boycott. 0.70
00:12:52.000 So Bill Ackman, five years ago, would have been labeled as Democrat donor, Harvard apologist, defender of democracy, all that crap.
00:13:03.000 Now all of a sudden, Bill Ackman is defecting.
00:13:06.000 Do you see a trend here?
00:13:07.000 It's not a massive amount of people, but it's growing and it's growing and it's growing.
00:13:16.000 Elon Musk, in some ways, was the crossing of the Rubicon for high society elites.
00:13:24.000 Okay, so Bill Ackman continues. 0.93
00:13:25.000 This letter is extraordinary because he very well could have, I thought he was going to land the letter by saying, President Gay, it's unacceptable, all the Jew hatred. 0.70
00:13:36.000 And by the way, it's totally legit. 0.92
00:13:38.000 It is unacceptable.
00:13:39.000 But then he goes a step further.
00:13:41.000 And I was speechless as I read this.
00:13:44.000 He didn't have to go where he went in this letter.
00:13:47.000 So Bill Ackman decided to do an investigation and talk to as many members of the faculty as possible.
00:13:54.000 Talk to them, whistleblowers, essentially.
00:13:56.000 And get this.
00:13:58.000 He says, discrimination at Harvard is not limited to anti-Semitism.
00:14:04.000 The problems at Harvard are clearly not just about Jews and Israel.
00:14:13.000 It is abundantly clear that straight white males are discriminated against in recruitment and advancement at Harvard.
00:14:22.000 I have been attacked relentlessly the last two years when I say clearly and plainly into the camera that there is a war on white people in the West, including in colleges and Harvard.
00:14:34.000 Media Matters loses their mind.
00:14:36.000 The media says you can't say that.
00:14:38.000 It's not happening and it's good that it is. 0.99
00:14:40.000 Whiteness is a cancer. 0.98
00:14:42.000 So after the My Not Air Force Base thing with Tyler Boyer and that whole thing, the Associated Press calls me a white agitator. 1.00
00:14:49.000 It is fashionable to hate white people. 0.99
00:14:51.000 You can get extra points to hate white people. 0.99
00:14:54.000 And here is Bill Ackman. 0.96
00:14:55.000 He doesn't have to be right in this.
00:14:57.000 You think Bill Ackman is going to increase in his holiday and Christmas and Hanukkah invitations?
00:15:03.000 You think Bill Ackman is going to be liked more for saying this?
00:15:06.000 He doesn't care.
00:15:08.000 And honestly, God bless him.
00:15:10.000 Yeah, here's the Associated Press.
00:15:11.000 It's unbelievable.
00:15:12.000 This is the Associated Press.
00:15:14.000 The group's founder, Turning Point USA, is Charlie Kirk, a white conservative agitator who has built a following in flaming racial divides.
00:15:24.000 That's what the Associated Press says about me.
00:15:27.000 I'm a white conservative agitator.
00:15:30.000 Is Bill Ackman a white conservative agitator, Associated Press?
00:15:34.000 I'm telling you, their party has fallen apart, fallen apart.
00:15:38.000 So he continues and he writes this letter.
00:15:41.000 And this is what I love about this.
00:15:43.000 I got to be honest.
00:15:44.000 Some people are not receiving this well, and I'm going to challenge you guys.
00:15:48.000 I think repentance is a beautiful thing.
00:15:50.000 If it's sincere, if it's fake, no question.
00:15:54.000 But when somebody acknowledges that they've been making a mistake, when somebody says, Boy, I was doing something wrong, and now I want to correct it, that sort of humility is encouraging, and it's honestly beautiful.
00:16:11.000 I think it's a really great thing.
00:16:14.000 And if we want to win the country, do we want to just say, you weren't with us.
00:16:21.000 No, hold on a second.
00:16:23.000 Bill Ackman was just operating in the upper high society Jewish donor circuit.
00:16:32.000 Give money to Harvard, you give money to this museum, you do this, you do that.
00:16:37.000 And he acknowledges it.
00:16:38.000 Bill Ackman, I am embarrassed for not having been aware and previously taken the time to investigate these issues until anti-Semitism exploded on campus.
00:16:48.000 I should have paid more attention as it did not take a forensic analysis to surface and better understand these issues.
00:16:56.000 God bless Bill Ackman for his courage.
00:17:00.000 Strong Cell is amazing.
00:17:02.000 I got to tell you, the combination of NADH, CoQ10, and collagen is really something.
00:17:08.000 You know, people ask me, they say, Charlie, how do you keep your energy up?
00:17:11.000 How do you just keep on pushing?
00:17:12.000 Look, part of it is diet nutrition, but I'll be honest, I take supplements really seriously.
00:17:18.000 Fact check me on this.
00:17:19.000 You can say, oh, Charlie, I'm going to fact-check you.
00:17:21.000 Type this into your search engine: NADH.
00:17:25.000 Just type it in.
00:17:26.000 What does it tell you?
00:17:27.000 It might tell you that it is the secret to living long, anti-aging properties, more energy.
00:17:32.000 Well, all of that is being proven in more and more clinical trials.
00:17:35.000 NADH is a precursor so that your mitochondria can remain healthy and vibrant.
00:17:41.000 The elites, a lot of billionaires, people, a lot of money, they spend a ton of money on NAD.
00:17:45.000 It's a fact.
00:17:46.000 NAD just might be your secret weapon for more energy.
00:17:49.000 I take NAD every single day.
00:17:52.000 I could tell you that NADH compared with CoQ10, the trials show very, very good things.
00:17:58.000 Don't take my word for it.
00:17:59.000 I mean, honestly, my word should be good for something.
00:18:01.000 But fact-check me.
00:18:02.000 Look at it.
00:18:03.000 And if you do it over 30 days, you'll see an increase in energy.
00:18:05.000 I wake up better than ever before.
00:18:08.000 NAD can help you potentially, again, fact-check me on this with depression, anxiety, other issues that you might be dealing with.
00:18:15.000 It is nature's gift to you so that you might have extra energy and mental clarity.
00:18:20.000 You guys can use promo code Charlie for 20% off.
00:18:22.000 It's strongcell.com slash Charlie.
00:18:25.000 NAD might be nature's secret weapon for you.
00:18:30.000 I love it.
00:18:31.000 I take it every single day.
00:18:32.000 Try to try it for at least 30 days to see the maximum benefit.
00:18:36.000 And let me know: has NAD helped your life?
00:18:38.000 Strongsell.com/slash Charlie.
00:18:40.000 Check it out.
00:18:41.000 Strongsell.com/slash Charlie.
00:18:46.000 Several items here.
00:18:46.000 I want to get to the testimony.
00:18:48.000 It's happening right now.
00:18:49.000 I want to get that tape going.
00:18:51.000 But let me finish on the Bill Ackman deal.
00:18:53.000 I want to repeat this.
00:18:54.000 I'm embarrassed for not having been aware and previously taken the time to investigate these issues until anti-Semitism exploded on campus.
00:19:01.000 I should have paid more attention as I did not take a forensic analysis to service and better understand these issues.
00:19:07.000 So some people on the right are receiving this Bill Ackman letter and letters like it with bitterness.
00:19:14.000 They say, oh, who are you, Bill Ackman?
00:19:17.000 You've been a major donor of this stuff.
00:19:19.000 Excuse me while I don't accept your repentance.
00:19:23.000 I think this is totally the wrong approach. 0.98
00:19:24.000 First of all, I could say from personal experience, I said some really stupid stuff five or six years ago. 0.95
00:19:30.000 And some people still hold it against me. 1.00
00:19:32.000 Charlie, you said something five years ago, really stupid. 1.00
00:19:35.000 That's not a way that civilization should operate. 1.00
00:19:37.000 That is an unforgiving, rigid, and honestly a ghoulish society that does not allow for repentance or forgiveness or advancement, acknowledgement of error.
00:19:48.000 That's not Christian. 1.00
00:19:49.000 That's not biblical.
00:19:50.000 That's not Western.
00:19:52.000 That's some sort of weird, totalitarian, unforgiving, very, very tribal way of running life.
00:20:00.000 I don't like it at all.
00:20:02.000 If somebody makes a mistake and says, yeah, I was wrong here, and now I'm willing to correct.
00:20:07.000 We should welcome them with open arms.
00:20:08.000 Now, it has to be a legitimate repentance.
00:20:10.000 For example, if Bill Ackman wrote this letter and the next day he gave a $10 million donation to Harvard, then, okay, we know that it's a fraud.
00:20:19.000 We're actually seeing the opposite.
00:20:20.000 He's pulling his money and getting other donors to pull their money.
00:20:24.000 And so the bitterness that some people have on social media right now towards Bill Ackman's letter, I think it's silly.
00:20:30.000 I think it's wrong.
00:20:31.000 And it's also, I don't know what worldview that comes from.
00:20:34.000 Just, I've been right for the last 20 years and anyone who agrees with me, I hate.
00:20:40.000 Maybe you have a personal problem, honestly.
00:20:43.000 You should be happy that people are saying what you believe.
00:20:47.000 For example, I have one of two ways that I can process this.
00:20:53.000 The Wall Street Journal, today, Wall Street Journal.
00:20:56.000 Higher education has become a threat to America.
00:20:58.000 That's the headline.
00:21:00.000 So I have one of two ways.
00:21:02.000 I can look at this article with bitterness or with celebration.
00:21:10.000 Why would I be bitter about this?
00:21:12.000 Well, if I had a very damaged worldview, I'd say, I wrote the book first, the college scam.
00:21:20.000 How dare you, Wall Street Journal?
00:21:22.000 You wouldn't have published that 16 months ago.
00:21:24.000 Excuse me while I don't take it seriously.
00:21:27.000 Okay?
00:21:29.000 That's how a lot of people on the right are processing this stuff right now.
00:21:33.000 You have to deprogram that.
00:21:34.000 You got to walk away from it.
00:21:37.000 That is not a way.
00:21:38.000 That's not Christian. 1.00
00:21:39.000 It's not biblical.
00:21:39.000 It's not Western.
00:21:41.000 Instead, I look at this article in the Wall Street Journal.
00:21:43.000 Higher ed has become a threat to America.
00:21:45.000 You know what I say?
00:21:47.000 Wow.
00:21:49.000 The relentless many years of working on this topic, we finally moved the Overton window.
00:21:55.000 Praise God that John Ellis was able to publish an article in the Wall Street Journal.
00:22:03.000 I want to read this.
00:22:04.000 This plays right into Bill Ackman story.
00:22:06.000 It's unbelievable.
00:22:08.000 John Ellis, our corrupt, radical universities feed every scourge from censorship and crime to anti-Semitism.
00:22:16.000 The college scam, how America's universities are bankrupting and brainwashing away the future of America's youth.
00:22:22.000 Is it the Wall Street Journal or is it the college scam?
00:22:25.000 I don't care.
00:22:27.000 It's amazing how much can get done if you don't care who gets the credit.
00:22:31.000 This is an incredibly powerful article.
00:22:33.000 This guy is a professor emeritus of German literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz, author of The Breakdown of Higher Education, How It Happened, the Damage It Does, and What Can Be Done.
00:22:42.000 Let me write this.
00:22:43.000 I love this sentence.
00:22:44.000 And then I got to play this thing from the congressional hearing.
00:22:46.000 This is the Wall Street Journal.
00:22:47.000 I love this. 1.00
00:22:48.000 Professors are now predominantly closed-minded, ignorant, and stupid enough. 1.00
00:22:54.000 The Wall Street Journal is publishing op-eds where they're calling professors stupid. 1.00
00:22:58.000 What a time to be alive. 1.00
00:23:01.000 Oh my goodness.
00:23:02.000 I never thought I'd see it.
00:23:04.000 This is happening at a rapid pace.
00:23:06.000 And I got to tell you, it's happening large in part thanks to Twitter being liberated.
00:23:11.000 Ideas can travel faster than ever before.
00:23:15.000 And the Overton window is moving.
00:23:17.000 Thank you, Elon Musk.
00:23:18.000 Okay, let me continue.
00:23:20.000 If enough parents and students gave serious thought to the question whether this ridiculous version of a college education is still worth four years of a young person's life and tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, corrupt institutions of higher education would collapse, creating the space for better ones to arise.
00:23:36.000 The biggest threat to our future isn't climate change, China, or the national debt. 0.65
00:23:41.000 It is the tyrannical grip that a hopelessly corrupt higher education now has on our national life.
00:23:48.000 If we don't stop it now, it will eventually destroy the most successful society in world history.
00:23:55.000 That's the Wall Street Journal's opinion section today.
00:23:58.000 Things are changing.
00:24:00.000 This would have been laughed at a year ago.
00:24:05.000 If this article would have been submitted to the Wall Street Journal opinion side, they'd say, yeah, fat chance, Mr. Ellis.
00:24:12.000 Thanks for shopping.
00:24:13.000 In the events that have unfolded post-October 7th, this is the kicker, is not only are people's eyes being opened to the Jew hatred, it is being opened to the entire poisonous, toxic, and venomous worldview that our universities are creating. 0.98
00:24:33.000 The bigotry industrial complex that is anti-white, anti-Jewish, anti-Western, anti-Christian, and anti-American.
00:24:41.000 The bigotry collegiate complex that we have seen.
00:24:45.000 And it's not, and by the way, our taxpayer dollars are funding it and donors are funding it, but it's changing.
00:24:50.000 Thanks to people like Bill Ackman.
00:24:53.000 He writes, when 34 Harvard student organizations came out in support of Hamas's barbaric terrorism, it was a wake-up call for me.
00:24:59.000 And I hope that having to face Congress on Tuesday will be a wake-up call for you.
00:25:03.000 Perfect segue.
00:25:04.000 This is the wake-up call that Bill Ackman was foreshadowing play cut 48.
00:25:09.000 What is the percentage of conservative professors at your institutions?
00:25:13.000 I only want to know the percent of conservatives.
00:25:16.000 What is the number, President Gay?
00:25:19.000 So I can't provide you that statistic because it's not data that we collect.
00:25:24.000 We don't have to do that.
00:25:24.000 That concerns me.
00:25:26.000 And President McGill, what are the percentage of conservative professors allowed to teach at your institution?
00:25:34.000 We do not track that information, so I can't get that statistic.
00:25:38.000 Okay, no, none.
00:25:39.000 I got the message.
00:25:41.000 And President Kohnbluth, what is the percentage of conservative professors at MIT?
00:25:48.000 We do not document people's political views, but considering...
00:25:50.000 Shamefully revealing that there's no diversity and inclusion of intellectual thought.
00:25:56.000 Colleges have become a place where they want everyone to look different, but think the same.
00:26:03.000 Their idea of diversity is melanin content, not intellectual or ideological diversity.
00:26:15.000 Elise Stefanik leans in to President Gay of Harvard, President Gay of Harvard, who is doing more damage to the American homeland overseeing Harvard with a $50 billion endowment, putting the Harvard Crimson logo behind the most destructive, bigoted, and cancerous ideas imaginable, Play Cut 41.
00:26:37.000 Well, let me ask you this.
00:26:38.000 Will admissions offers be rescinded or any disciplinary action be taken against students or applicants who say, from the river to the sea or into FADA advocating for the murder of Jews?
00:26:52.000 As I've said, that type of hateful, reckless, offensive speech is personally abhorrent to me.
00:27:00.000 And today that no action will be taken, what action will be taken?
00:27:04.000 When speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies, including policies against bullying, harassment, or intimidation, we take action.
00:27:13.000 Continue with Cut 42.
00:27:15.000 And we have robust disciplinary processes that allow us to hold individuals accountable.
00:27:21.000 What action has been taken against students who are harassing and calling for the genocide of Jews on Harvard's campus?
00:27:30.000 I can assure you, we have robust I'm asking what actions have been taken against students.
00:27:39.000 Given students' rights to privacy and our obligations under FERPA, I will not say more about any specific cases other than to reiterate that processes are ongoing.
00:27:53.000 Okay, so let's test it. 0.95
00:27:54.000 Why don't we have a bunch of white students at Harvard?
00:27:56.000 This wouldn't happen because there's not that many that would do this, but God bless them. 1.00
00:27:59.000 They'd say, George Floyd was a scumbag. 1.00
00:28:01.000 George Floyd was a scumbag. 1.00
00:28:03.000 George Floyd was a scumbag. 1.00
00:28:06.000 How would she react? 1.00
00:28:10.000 Christmas is here, everybody.
00:28:11.000 And that means that you might have to be moving boxes or just it's tough, a lot of stress, and that means inflammation increases.

00:29:20.000 Let's just show an example.
00:29:21.000 For those of you that are not yet convinced at what these institutions of higher education have become, these are black Harvard students dressed in Middle Eastern garb saying, quote, there is not black liberation without Palestinian liberation.
00:29:36.000 All black people in this nation, we understand, liberation trouble. 0.69
00:29:39.000 America is the OG apartheid regime. 0.67
00:29:42.000 I remember the weekend of October 7th.
00:29:44.000 I told our team and we sent it up and we were pretty forceful about it.
00:29:48.000 And it came under immediate criticism by some very, very, very low IQ people on social media on the left.
00:29:55.000 They said, how dare Charlie do this?
00:29:57.000 How dare he?
00:29:57.000 And we were totally right.
00:29:59.000 Because I read the literature.
00:30:00.000 I know the Marxists very well.
00:30:03.000 I look at their chatter.
00:30:04.000 I look at their social and we predicted it.
00:30:06.000 And I said, just wait.
00:30:07.000 BLM is going to come out in full force in support of Hamas. 1.00
00:30:11.000 And I remember there were people that came after us so hard, even on the right.
00:30:14.000 How dare you?
00:30:15.000 And it turned out to be correct.
00:30:16.000 BLM Chicago, BLM leaders, because the way they view the world is through oppressor-oppressed. 0.94
00:30:23.000 Everything.
00:30:24.000 Somebody has more money.
00:30:25.000 They must have been a thief.
00:30:27.000 Somebody is happier.
00:30:29.000 They must be doing something illegal.
00:30:32.000 This is a zero-sum way of viewing the planet.
00:30:37.000 It's also just a really miserable way of living.
00:30:40.000 Welcome to Harvard.
00:30:42.000 PlayCut 47.
00:30:44.000 There is no black liberation without Palestinian liberation. 0.69
00:30:48.000 And black people in this nation, we understand liberation struggle.
00:30:54.000 America is the OG apartheid regime. 0.67
00:30:59.000 Uncle Sam's oppression is universal.
00:31:02.000 We know that the military occupying force in Gaza is the same occupying force that terrorizes our communities. 0.81
00:31:10.000 The vigils in this country are.
00:31:13.000 So here's what needs to happen.
00:31:14.000 For years, there was an article written in the Wall Street Journal called the H-Bomb.
00:31:18.000 I think it was a couple months ago.
00:31:22.000 They repeat it.
00:31:22.000 So the Wall Street Journal wrote it.
00:31:24.000 It's called the H-Bomb, where people from Harvard are very careful not to say that they went to Harvard because they don't want to seem presumptuous or pretentious.
00:31:33.000 They just say, I went to school outside of Boston.
00:31:35.000 I went to school in Boston, they say.
00:31:37.000 And what they're getting at is that once you say you're from Harvard, people treat you so well and people really appreciate you.
00:31:44.000 Okay.
00:31:45.000 Now it's time.
00:31:46.000 Whenever you hear that someone went to Harvard, you should assume they're a bigot until they prove otherwise.
00:31:51.000 H-bomb. 0.96
00:31:52.000 When someone says that they went to Columbia, you say, oh my goodness, you mean the place that hates Jews? 0.99
00:31:58.000 When someone says they went to Dartmouth, you should say, oh my goodness, I heard that they hate white people there. 0.98
00:32:05.000 They hate white people at Penn and at Yale. 0.76
00:32:09.000 Do you understand what this will do to the psyche? 0.98
00:32:13.000 And they might say, oh, yeah, they do.
00:32:15.000 Say, okay, you're a bigot.
00:32:16.000 I'm not impressed. 0.98
00:32:17.000 Understand that so many of these Ivy League types, like those maniac, those blacks there, they think that they can walk around the rest of their world borrowing on the quote-unquote prestige of the Harvard name, that they could do whatever they want, and they probably will. 1.00
00:32:31.000 They'll probably get into the club because a bunch of white liberals want to be told that they're racist by these very stupid Harvard graduates that, you know, oh, yeah, the original OG apartheid. 0.99
00:32:43.000 Really, that's the best you could do. 1.00
00:32:45.000 You go to Harvard.
00:32:46.000 I thought you're supposed to be smart.
00:32:47.000 Well, it probably got in because of affirmative action, not very bright.
00:32:50.000 And, but you understand what this will do to the psyche of Harvard graduates? 0.96
00:32:55.000 Next time you meet a Harvard graduate, you should be like, wow, do you hate white people?
00:33:00.000 You should assume that they hold the worldview.
00:33:03.000 Oh, no, no, no, no, that was just, it was really just, you know, a fringe thing.
00:33:08.000 No, I think the whole institution does.
00:33:11.000 It's too bad.
00:33:12.000 Harvard started as a Christian university where you had to graduate.
00:33:20.000 You had to know biblical Hebrew to graduate up until the year 1800.
00:33:25.000 It's not what it once was.
00:33:27.000 And now, if you say, if I meet you and you say, I went to Yale, I went to Princeton, I went to Stanford, I went to Harvard, I kind of assume you're not very smart and that you're a bigot.
00:33:39.000 Now, not all of them are.
00:33:40.000 I'm sure there's some good people.
00:33:42.000 I feel sorry for some of them, but I am not going to bend the knee the thing that every Ivy League person, sorry, Blake, deep down enjoys, where they kind of have this weird power trip over you.
00:33:54.000 Yeah, I went to Princeton.
00:33:56.000 Okay, you're a bigot and you're probably not very bright.
00:34:00.000 Don't give them that sort of superiority, that little chest pumping.
00:34:04.000 Enough.
00:34:05.000 You go to the worst of all the institutions.
00:34:08.000 Now, if you tell me you went to Hillsdale, all of a sudden you have my respect.
00:34:11.000 You tell me you went to Harvard, I think you go to a museum of a school that used to be great and is now a factory of the worst ideas on the planet.
