00:00:32.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:33.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:36.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:39.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:42.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:43.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:44.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:00:51.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:00:53.000 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.

00:01:01.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:05.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:14.000 Last evening, some terrible news unfolded.

00:01:17.000 Mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine.

00:01:19.000 The person responsible is still on the loose.

00:01:21.000 The manhunt is underway.

00:01:23.000 18 people dead so far.

00:01:26.000 You know, we as human beings are not accustomed to just this barrage of negative news.

00:01:32.000 For those of us that do this for a living, you really need to kind of create systems.

00:01:37.000 You need to create patterns to just step away from the news.

00:01:42.000 I mean, you know, I was getting blown up in our chats last night.

00:01:45.000 Oh my goodness, there's another mass shooting.

00:01:46.000 I turned on the news for like three minutes.

00:01:48.000 I said, you know what?

00:01:49.000 I don't need this right now.

00:01:50.000 And so I said, oh, I will get back to this in the morning.

00:01:52.000 I'm glad I did.

00:01:53.000 Because whether it be the massacre that happens in Israel, the bombing that's happening across Ukraine and Russia, the violence in the streets of the country, it's nonstop.

00:02:02.000 And you have to sometimes take a step back and not just stare at the negative and stare at the carnage.

00:02:08.000 But here we are today.

00:02:09.000 Another piece of news that is hard to comprehend.

00:02:14.000 At least 18 people killed in shootings in Lewiston, Maine.

00:02:17.000 Manhunt underway.

00:02:18.000 Police are looking for Robert Card, 40 years old after the attacks, at a bowling alley in a bar in Lewiston last evening.

00:02:24.000 Now, Robert Card received quote-unquote mental health support this last summer.

00:02:30.000 Whether or not he was administered medications, whether or not they worked, or whether or not they hurt remains to be seen.

00:02:36.000 So now, of course, we don't even have the suspect apprehended yet.

00:02:43.000 And the radical left, not even the radical left, the media is already putting forward article after article, Vox.com, Atlantic, talking about gun control.

00:02:52.000 It's now time to pass more gun control.

00:02:55.000 He is still on the loose, and they're already trying to politicize and push forward a legislative agenda to make it harder to buy weapons in the country.

00:03:05.000 Now, this is important to isolate what the left wants here in this country versus some other lessons of the last couple of weeks.

00:03:13.000 And I find this to be very important and fascinating.

00:03:16.000 And I also want to be very clear.

00:03:17.000 This is just a terrible thing that happened in Maine.

00:03:20.000 It's a tragedy.

00:03:22.000 It's happening time and time again.

00:03:24.000 We should bring back insane asylums. 1.00

00:03:26.000 There are some people that are so deranged, that are so unbalanced, that the pattern of behavior, whether it be the trans person in Nashville, of which we never saw their manifesto, whether it be what happened in Uvalde or El Paso,

00:03:42.000 as I mentioned, Nashville, Fort Hood, Sandy Hook, it is not popular, but it is necessary to say that you need to have some form of asylums where people are locked up so they're not allowed in decent society. 0.88

00:03:59.000 It's an unpopular argument, but it's the way it is.

00:04:02.000 Taken off the streets.

00:04:03.000 It could be done humanely.

00:04:04.000 It could be done properly.

00:04:06.000 But this is one of those people that should have just been taken off the streets.

00:04:11.000 Okay.

00:04:13.000 So the left in the country wants more gun control.

00:04:17.000 They've always wanted that.

00:04:18.000 And they're going to increase their volume and increase their intensity.

00:04:21.000 But interestingly enough, in Israel, the exact opposite is occurring.

00:04:27.000 In Israel, breaking news yesterday, before this shooting, the Israeli government issued a new executive order/slash government directive that they want almost every single citizen in Israel to own weapons, that they are deregulating gun control in Israel.

00:04:46.000 So let's take a step back.

00:04:47.000 Israel just experienced the most deadly day for Jews since the Holocaust. 0.52

00:04:51.000 1,300 Jews were savagely murdered, raped, decapitated.

00:04:57.000 And Israel has historically had very, very serious gun control comparable to a European country.

00:05:02.000 Most people could not own handguns unless they lived in a very, very high-risk area, of which some of these kibbutzes were not even deemed high-risk areas because of their faith in the Israeli border security system and their faith in the Israeli intelligence system. 0.97

00:05:21.000 And even then, they had a cap of 50 bullets.

00:05:23.000 The Israeli government is saying no more.

00:05:25.000 We want to have more people own guns in our country.

00:05:29.000 Now, why would Israel come to that conclusion?

00:05:32.000 Well, the answer is very obvious.

00:05:34.000 That God forbid that all-out war happens again.

00:05:37.000 God forbid that more Hamas or terrorists, Hamas sympathizers, Hamas actors or terrorist sympathizers come into the nation of Israel. 0.61

00:05:46.000 They no longer want their citizens to be sitting ducks.

00:05:50.000 You see, in Israel, there was a high trust and high faith in government.

00:05:56.000 One of the reasons why people that were miles away from the Gaza border were okay with not owning weapons was because they trusted their government.

00:06:08.000 That trust in government has gone to basically zero in the nation of Israel.

00:06:14.000 They no longer trust their government to keep them safe.

00:06:17.000 And I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing, but it's honest.

00:06:21.000 They no longer believe that the IDF, the current government of Israel, is going to be able to keep them safe, especially after all the incompetence, the missed intel warnings, the delay eight to 20 hours to come scramble and save them.

00:06:38.000 And so the people of Israel are saying, let us take this into our own hands.

00:06:43.000 God forbid if this ever happens again.

00:06:46.000 And so Israel is deregulating gun control because Israel lives in an active war zone.

00:06:51.000 Israel is surrounded by evil. 0.82

00:06:54.000 Now you contrast that with what some people in America want.

00:06:57.000 Some people in America want more gun control because they believe the government will keep them safe.

00:07:03.000 An unfortunate and tragic reality is this.

00:07:06.000 There's a lot of evil in the world right now, and that evil is being activated in a variety of different ways.

00:07:11.000 You could call it post-modernity, the insanity of an over-medicated country.

00:07:17.000 You could call it the consequence of not having proven an effective brain health care and mental health care.

00:07:25.000 You could call it a consequence of broken families and a spiritual decline, a godless and secular agenda.

00:07:32.000 Any one of these things can be is a proper explanation.

00:07:38.000 Evil is basically ubiquitous right now. 0.99

00:07:42.000 We have this scumbag psychopath who said, I heard voices, and he previously said he wanted to shoot up a National Guard place, should have been put in an insane asylum, period. 0.99

00:07:53.000 Went for mental health treatment, and now unnecessarily 16 to 17 people are dead. 0.99

00:07:58.000 Simultaneously, you have in Vegas the two young men who did a joyride and killed a retired police officer.

00:08:05.000 They're laughing in court.

00:08:07.000 They're laughing.

00:08:09.000 And this is evil that is just so hard to wrap our heads around.

00:08:12.000 I believe, of course, there is a spiritual dynamic to this.

00:08:16.000 So it is the answer to take guns away.

00:08:20.000 It is the answer to pass legislation.

00:08:23.000 I was watching MSNBC a little bit, just a little bit, and they couldn't help themselves.

00:08:28.000 They couldn't help themselves but say, we need stricter gun laws.

00:08:32.000 We need stricter gun laws.

00:08:35.000 But let us not forget the story of Inbar Lieberman.

00:08:40.000 Inbar Lieberman, 25 years old, saved an entire kibbutz from Hamas Muslim terrorists because she had weapons.

00:08:50.000 25-year-old Inbar Lieberman, the security coordinator of the kibbutz in their arm, led a group of residents for a four-hour gunfight, killing two dozen advancing terrorists.

00:08:59.000 The government was not there to protect her or her people at the kibbutz.

00:09:04.000 And 12 residents took up arms and defended themselves.

00:09:08.000 Here is a brutal but honest truth of the world we live in.

00:09:13.000 Evil is everywhere, more so than any other time that I've been alive.

00:09:17.000 Evil in our streets, evil in our schools, evil in our government, evil domestically, evil foreign. 0.87

00:09:23.000 So is the response then to trust the government to keep us safe?

00:09:27.000 No.

00:09:28.000 The callous but direct truth is this, is that you need to be armed.

00:09:35.000 You need to be prepared to defend yourself and your family.

00:09:39.000 We're not going to see a decline in this until there is a spiritual or a cultural turnaway.

00:09:44.000 These false promises by the government, we'll take away the guns, we'll make you safer.

00:09:49.000 It's nonsense.

00:09:50.000 Just look at Israel. 0.97

00:09:51.000 What happens when you take away the guns?

00:09:53.000 It doesn't make you safer.

00:09:54.000 It makes you sitting ducks.

00:09:56.000 Do not ask the government to give you a false assurance of safety while you see your liberties and freedoms evaporate in front of you.

00:10:08.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:09.000 Every Halloween, you hear about the dangers in the candy your kids will get.

00:10:12.000 But this year, the real tricks are in the meat aisle.

00:10:14.000 Good Ranchers wants to take the trick out of your meat, and they're throwing in a treat for my listeners.

00:10:19.000 Lab-grown meat is growing more and more popular.

00:10:21.000 Foreign meat dresses up in a product of USA label.

00:10:24.000 And mRNA vaccine development is on the rise for agriculture.

00:10:28.000 What's in your meat and food is more in question than ever before.

00:10:31.000 Amidst these haunting truths, the real hero arises.

00:10:34.000 Good ranchers.

00:10:35.000 As the number one place to get America's best beef, pork, chicken, and seafood delivered.

00:10:39.000 Good ranchers' products are transparently sourced, all-American and delicious.

00:11:05.000 That's goodranchers.com, promo code Kirk, American Meat Delivered.

00:11:11.000 And of course, it's important to mention that there's a temptation.

00:11:16.000 There's a temptation to say, take my freedom and liberty away to make me safer.

00:11:22.000 That is the human condition.

00:11:23.000 The human condition is to say, I will forego my liberty for safety.

00:11:30.000 We saw that play out in COVID.

00:11:32.000 And so I actually sympathize with a lot of people in the middle, a lot of people that see these stories, and they say, why can't we just take all of those weapons away?

00:11:41.000 Why can't we?

00:11:43.000 And I understand that gut reaction.

00:11:44.000 I don't agree with it.

00:11:46.000 I don't think that's very deep.

00:11:48.000 Let's go through some other examples here in the modern era.

00:11:50.000 One that I think we highlighted better than any other program, which is Hong Kong.

00:11:55.000 Hong Kong has been taken over by the Chinese Communist Party.

00:11:58.000 Remember all those Hong Kong protesters up against the Chinese military?

00:12:02.000 It was never a fair fight.

00:12:03.000 That's a hostage situation, not a negotiation.

00:12:07.000 You cannot have a free society if you do not have an armed citizenry.

00:12:13.000 Because once you have a big government, that big government is 100% going to be taken over by corrupt cartel-style actors running it like a mafia or a mob.

00:12:26.000 So I understand.

00:12:28.000 I truly do when people say, let's just take the guns away.

00:12:31.000 Let's just take all the guns away.

00:12:33.000 Israel did that. 0.96

00:12:35.000 And their citizens became sitting ducks for evil.

00:12:38.000 Hong Kong can't own any weapons.

00:12:41.000 So the Chinese Communist Party can come in and do whatever they want.

00:12:45.000 And armed citizenry comes with costs.

00:12:50.000 I said this at an event a year and a half ago, and people lost their mind.

00:12:54.000 I think it was a year or half ago, it was actually early this spring.

00:12:55.000 People lost their mind, which is: look, when you have freedom, you're going to have situations that are tragic.

00:13:04.000 Anywhere between 35 to 45,000 people die in auto-related fatalities every year.

00:13:12.000 It could go as high as 50,000 in some years.

00:13:14.000 Driving, allowing people to drive, comes with a cost.

00:13:19.000 Is the cost of having cars, of allowing people to drive 70 miles an hour, worth the benefit?

00:13:28.000 And we have decided as a society, yes.

00:13:31.000 The liberty to be able to leave your home, to get to work in 20 or 30 minutes, to go on a road trip with your kids, is worth the fact that anywhere between 35 to 45,000 people a year will die on the road.

00:13:47.000 So then you have the ability to say, I'm not going to drive at night.

00:13:50.000 I'm not going to take any unnecessary risks.

00:13:53.000 And even then, just in Malibu, California, four young ladies were run over by a young kid in a car.

00:14:02.000 That story is just gaining momentum.

00:14:03.000 Just wait.

00:14:04.000 That story is going to really explode.

00:14:06.000 Four young girls cross the street, boom, gets run over.

00:14:09.000 We don't necessarily need cars to survive, but are you a free society without them?

00:14:14.000 15-minute cities basically all but guarantee getting rid of all private automobile ownership.

00:14:20.000 Part of the safety agenda would be to say, let's get rid of cars.

00:14:24.000 And if you come at things from how do I make things as safe as possible, how do I try to wrap things in, I guess you could say, saran wrap, bubble wrap all the time, then yes, you could come to that conclusion.

00:14:41.000 But there's also some questions that we must ask about what's unfolding or has unfolded in Maine that the media will not ask.

00:14:48.000 What psychological medications was this insane person on?

00:14:52.000 Received mental health treatment over the summer.

00:14:55.000 What medications was did the medications help?

00:14:57.000 Did they hurt?

00:14:58.000 Did they increase these bad voices?

00:15:00.000 Did they increase his violent tendencies?

00:15:04.000 What was he saying when he was institutionalized just a few months ago and why was he released?

00:15:08.000 Who determined he was ready to be released and for what reason?

00:15:11.000 What existing laws went unenforced to enable him to go on this killing spree?

00:15:17.000 Existing laws, not new laws, existing laws.

00:15:22.000 And who at the mental health treatment facility was in charge that signed his discharge papers to allow him back onto the streets?

00:15:32.000 If guns and the Second Amendment caused mass shootings, why did these not really occur when we were a more socially cohesive country?

00:15:40.000 And this is the kicker.

00:15:42.000 Guns have always been present in America. 1.00

00:15:44.000 Machine guns even used to be legal.

00:15:47.000 Maybe it's because our country has been hollowed out economically and spiritually, and it has nothing to do with gun ownership.

00:15:53.000 And tragically, it made sense when I heard this happen in Maine.

00:15:57.000 Maine has become a very sad state.

00:15:59.000 Not that everyone in Maine is sad, but it leads the nation in per capita, it's top five, drug overdoses, in opioid addiction, in suicides.

00:16:10.000 There's a lot of suffering that happens in the state of Maine.

00:16:13.000 They consider themselves to be a forgotten state.

00:16:16.000 And so people look as an outlet harming others.

00:16:20.000 This is nothing new.

00:16:21.000 And tragically and unfortunately, that unclean spirit of darkness was introduced largely with the Columbine shooters, reinforced with the Sandy Hook shooters, that people that are troubled and have evil possession think that killing others can liberate them from it.

00:16:39.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:16:41.000 Do you know that the average American spends about 20 years in retirement?

00:16:44.000 That's a long time to live without a setting income.

00:16:46.000 We want to make sure you enjoy every moment of it and don't outlive your money.

00:16:49.000 Retirement is about more than just investments.

00:16:51.000 It's about living your best life.

00:16:53.000 Let's not retire.

00:16:54.000 Let's pivot.

00:16:55.000 My friends at PAX Financial Group developed a course for the sole purpose of helping you pivot.

00:17:01.000 If you want your own free guide of pivoting into the next chapter of life with purpose, visit paxfg.com slash Charlie.

00:17:10.000 That is paxfg.com slash Charlie.

00:17:13.000 I have some of my money managed by PAX Financial.

00:17:17.000 They do a wonderful job.

00:17:18.000 And remember, retirement is about more than just investments.

00:17:22.000 The Charlie Kirk endorsement of the PAX Financial Group LLC was given for compensation, which creates an incentive to recommend PAX's advisory services.

00:17:31.000 Need to make sure that disclaimer is very clear.

00:17:33.000 So check it out, PAXFG.com slash Charlie.

00:17:38.000 For the last 11 years, one of the most frustrating things that I have encountered is when very wealthy people put their life's work, their earnings, the things that they have earned in a market economy towards institutions that hate them.

00:17:54.000 I've seen it happen so many times.

00:17:57.000 Their legacy.

00:17:58.000 They underwrite a legacy to institutions that hate their values, hate their worldview, and train up a new generation of activists to undermine the nation that allowed them to be so successful.

00:18:12.000 Now, we've been somewhat successful at Turning Point USA of getting this message out.

00:18:17.000 We have our professor watch list, which is a fan favorite amongst many people.

00:18:22.000 We have a dean's list.

00:18:24.000 We also have Divest You, where we have been able to successfully divest over $130 million from higher education of donors that otherwise were going to give millions and millions and tens of millions of dollars to higher education, and they've pulled that money out.

00:18:40.000 But I wouldn't consider my work in this space, our work in this space, I should say, to be overwhelmingly triumphant.

00:18:49.000 More times than not, I've seen major donors that are pro-free market, pro-American, pro-liberty, write $100 million, $200 million, $300 million checks to institutions that will assuredly participate in the erosion, the destabilization of the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:19:15.000 Universities across America are the greatest threat to freedom and liberty that exists.

00:19:20.000 They are institutionally against everything that is promised in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

00:19:28.000 Now, thankfully, college attendance is starting to go down.

00:19:32.000 Thankfully, we're starting to, people are starting to ask, well, why am I sending my kids to these schools?

00:19:35.000 It's down actually 10 or 15% in some areas.

00:19:39.000 Yet tuition keeps going up.

00:19:41.000 But in high society circles, it is a heresy to go in and start poking the bear and talking about how these colleges hate white people, for example.

00:19:54.000 University of Chicago has an entire course against whiteness, talking about how at Yale University, they have entire symposiums dedicated to the destruction of the nation. 0.65

00:20:07.000 I wrote a whole book on this.

00:20:08.000 I've mentioned it before, College Scam.

00:20:10.000 Highly recommend it.

00:20:11.000 If you want to go through the details, the facts, and by the way, there was only one somewhat sarcastic critical review, but the media and the book reviewers avoided the book, largely because there are over 50 pages of footnotes.

00:20:27.000 This was not some sort of just blog post that I did.

00:20:31.000 This was a decade of work that I put into, where I personally think I understand this issue better than almost anybody else from visiting over 150 campuses, understanding how these schools work, the Board of Regents, the Board of Supervisors, the endowments, the gifts, the foundations, how all of this cabal and this cartel works.

00:20:53.000 Department of Education, subsidized student loans, graduation rates, all of it.

00:21:00.000 So I felt like we were starting to have some momentum, that we were finally starting to get some people to open their eyes.

00:21:06.000 People were starting to say, you know, maybe these university campuses are not in the best interest for my grandkids' future.

00:21:13.000 But it wasn't hitting the fever pitch that I felt was necessary.

00:21:17.000 Who cares if the University of Chicago hates white people?

00:21:21.000 Who cares if Stanford, for example, you have a DEI administrator coming in and encouraging students to interrupt a federal judge? 0.61

00:21:32.000 Remember that story not too long ago?

00:21:35.000 It's disturbing that University of California Davis, that students come out with weapons and they go and bash windows to interrupt my speech at UC Davis.

00:21:44.000 It's concerning that students at University of San Francisco kidnap Riley Gaines at a turning point USA event, but it's not enough to get the high society donors that interested.

00:21:56.000 Because the high society donors, you must understand, the billionaire oligarch type donors, of which I don't say as a pejorative, I know some of these people and they're really great people, some of them.

00:22:07.000 But they give also for access.

00:22:10.000 If you give $100 million to Harvard, if you give $50 million to Yale, you're in the club.

00:22:18.000 You get invited to all the right parties.

00:22:20.000 You get better access to business dealings, you get on certain committees.

00:22:26.000 It is a token.

00:22:28.000 It's almost like a special token given to you that allows you to continue to ascend in elite circles.

00:22:35.000 Parties, events, you name it.

00:22:38.000 Name in the brochure.

00:22:40.000 You get considered to be a good guy in philanthropy.

00:22:44.000 But I could tell you right now, the last two and a half weeks, we have seen a profound and material change in how high society America views higher education.

00:22:58.000 A paradigm shift.

00:23:00.000 Now, whether this will last or not, I'm not sure.

00:23:03.000 Whether or not this will be permanent, I certainly hope so.

00:23:06.000 So I want to introduce you to a gentleman who has now passed away.

00:23:10.000 I don't know him.

00:23:10.000 I don't even know how he made his money.

00:23:12.000 I'm trying to find out.

00:23:14.000 But his name is Melvin Gelman.

00:23:18.000 Melvin Gelman obviously made tons of money in his life.

00:23:22.000 He's a Jewish man.

00:23:23.000 Now, whether he was a conservative or a liberal, I don't care.

00:23:27.000 A Melvin Gelman, okay, he was a real estate developer and he died in the 1970s.

00:23:31.000 Melvin Gelman, Jewish man, wanted to create a better country for his kids or grandkids and left a massive charitable trust that his wife, Estelle, was in charge of.

00:23:45.000 Estelle Gelman then decided to give a big gift to Melvin Gelman's alma mater, the most expensive university in the country, meaning the most expensive tuition in the country, George Washington University.

00:24:02.000 And with that, a library was named after a successful real estate developer, a Jewish man, Melvin Gelman.

00:24:09.000 In fact, included in the Melvin Gelman Library is the following: quote: A collection of Judaic books, periodicals, videos, primarily in English, Hebrew and Yiddish, religion, philosophy, literature, history, and other subjects.

00:24:23.000 Not open to the public, students only, it's by appointment only.

00:24:26.000 And the Estelle and Melvin Gelberry Library Special Collectible.

00:24:29.000 So he endowed this 50 years ago with a vision that George Washington University will carry on the values that he cares about and Estelle Gelman cared about.

00:24:42.000 To this day, you can walk by the Estelle and Melvin Gelman Library and see their names on there.

00:24:50.000 But if you walked by a couple days ago, you would see something else.

00:24:54.000 Play cut 109 as I continue.

00:24:58.000 On the Melvin and Gelman Library side wall, all of a sudden, you started to see images, words that were projected onto this library wall.

00:25:09.000 Glory to our martyrs.

00:25:11.000 Divestment from Zionist genocide now. 0.88

00:25:14.000 Free Palestine from the river to the sea. 0.98

00:25:18.000 Calling for the abolition of the state of Israel, the destruction of the Jewish people.

00:25:25.000 Melvin Gelman, 50 years later, who has been dead for quite some time, gave a portion of his fortune to help build this library where he houses Jewish books to then have those words on the library that he paid for.

00:25:50.000 The library that Melvin Gelman paid for with his hard-earned capital is now subsidizing Jew hatred.

00:26:00.000 I could not find a better example of exactly the suicide of the American West via university campuses.

00:26:12.000 And it should shock nobody.

00:26:14.000 This is happening at almost every single school except Hillsdale across the country.

00:26:21.000 People say he must be rolling over in his grave, but it's not just there.

00:26:26.000 It's happening at Harvard, happening at Yale, and also occurring at Stanford.

00:26:32.000 So, what is the solution?

00:26:33.000 Can the Gelman Trust ask for their money back?

00:26:37.000 Probably not.

00:26:38.000 George Washington took the money. 0.99

00:26:40.000 They said, suck us. 0.99

00:26:42.000 You guys think we stand for Jewish values because we have Judaic texts? 0.99

00:26:46.000 No, we're going to raise up a new generation of Hamas terrorists and sympathizers in the name of social justice. 0.83

00:26:54.000 When the book is finally written, 20, 30, 40, 50 years later, of the state of America and how we got there, it will perplex historians why wealthy Jews, wealthy Christians, wealthy conservatives decided to give all their hard-earned capital to assembly lines of hatred, to factories of Marxism, so that their worldview could be deconstructed and mocked.

00:27:22.000 Put that video up just one more time.

00:27:24.000 Make no mistake.

00:27:25.000 The life's work of Melvin Gelman, a real estate developer who thought he was doing good, is being mocked and humiliated by the very same institution he helped subsidize.

00:27:38.000 We're starting to finally see high society donors open their eyes. 1.00

00:27:44.000 And I certainly hope that this is shining a light on the stupidity of these donors. 1.00

00:27:51.000 Stop giving your hard-earned money to institutions that want your people dead. 1.00

00:28:01.000 Stop the denial.

00:28:02.000 Stop the clubbiness of Harvard, the social acceptance of Yale, of Brown, of Columbia, and understand they hate you.

00:28:10.000 They just want their money so they could create more Elon Omars, AOCs, Rashida Talibs.

00:28:18.000 Certainly hope the lesson sets in.

00:28:23.000 Okay, play cut 112, please.

00:28:25.000 And finally, New Rule, as an Ivy League graduate who knows the value of a liberal education, I have one piece of advice for the youth of America.

00:28:33.000 Don't go to college. 1.00

00:28:35.000 And if you absolutely have to go, don't go to an elite college, because as recent events have shown, it just makes you stupid. 0.99

00:28:42.000 There are few, if any, positives to come out of what happened in Israel, but one of them is opening America's eyes to how higher education has become indoctrination into a stew of bad ideas. 0.99

00:28:54.000 Is that the Charlie Kirk show?

00:28:56.000 He's like reading right out of the college scam, like word for word.

00:28:59.000 Bill Maher.

00:29:00.000 Only took him 15 years to realize that.

00:29:03.000 We were called crazy.

00:29:05.000 Turns out we were just early.

00:29:07.000 At Cooper Union, which is a school, Cooper Union College in New York, Jewish students had to be rescued by the New York Police Department because they were held hostage by groups of Muslims. 1.00

00:29:24.000 Now, I'm going to read this tweet.

00:29:25.000 I'll be very honest.

00:29:27.000 I have not fact-checked all the details here, according to Jake Novak.

00:29:31.000 This is according to highlights from his interview with eyewitnesses.

00:29:34.000 Number one, Cooper Union College Dean said that before the protest, he could not stop it because it was not slated to enter school property, which it obviously did.

00:29:45.000 The New York Police Department was called as soon as protesters stormed the main Cooper Union building, but did nothing.

00:29:51.000 Same thing, by the way, in Skokie, Illinois, when our Turning Point USA staffer got assaulted by Muslims, concussion.

00:29:57.000 I don't know if anyone's been arrested, probably won't be.

00:29:59.000 Librarians bolted the doors.

00:30:01.000 And I find this one hard to believe.

00:30:03.000 I don't know how to believe, but I'm going to need some more fact-checking on this because it's so like, what?

00:30:08.000 Come on.

00:30:09.000 Librarians bolted the doors and approached the identifiable Jewish students and told them they could hide in the attic if they wanted to.

00:30:18.000 Now, the reason I find that hard to believe, that is such a ridiculous syllogism to Ann Frank and hiding in the attic from Nazis.

00:30:27.000 Like, really, they have an attic in the Cooper Union Library.

00:30:30.000 I find that hard to believe.

00:30:31.000 If that is true, geez, what are they going to tell them?

00:30:35.000 Go upstairs and just go write a diary.

00:30:37.000 Jeez.

00:30:39.000 And I feel sorry for these Jewish students, but I'll be very honest with you. 1.00

00:30:45.000 I don't feel sorry for these rich Jews that have been funding this crap. 1.00

00:30:49.000 They're like, oh my gosh, I don't understand. 1.00

00:30:51.000 Like, you guys have been underwriting this.

00:30:53.000 Like, wake up.

00:30:55.000 And they're like so outraged.

00:30:56.000 Like, where's the ADL?

00:30:57.000 That's what they're saying.

00:30:58.000 Well, the ADL is on the side of this.

00:31:00.000 You guys have created this beast because you've been so afraid of right-wing terrorism.

00:31:05.000 Turns out we don't control it in these colleges.

00:31:06.000 Sorry, guys.

00:31:08.000 This is a beast of your own making.

00:31:09.000 Look at this clip here. 0.96

00:31:10.000 Play cut 110, group of Jewish students being held hostage by Muslims. 0.99

00:31:15.000 Play cut 110.

00:31:34.000 There is a real reckoning happening.

00:31:36.000 By the way, there are self-hating people in any group, right?

00:31:40.000 And there are some Jews that are still like making excuses for all this. 0.99

00:31:43.000 Not all of them, though.

00:31:45.000 You're starting to see a fair amount start to defect and say, hold on, hold on, hold on a second.

00:31:49.000 What have we done?

00:31:50.000 Maybe those crazy right-wingers were right about immigration, that you can't keep on importing people that don't share your values.

00:31:58.000 The ADL, by the way, has spent decades.

00:32:01.000 The ADL raises nearly $100 million a year to just quote unquote fight anti-Semitism.

00:32:06.000 They've been oddly quiet recently.

00:32:08.000 Why?

00:32:09.000 It's because they're only focused on random conservatives in Middle America.

00:32:12.000 The ADL makes liberals think that random Trump voters in Idaho want to do a second Holocaust when the Jew haters were right in front of them the whole time.

00:32:22.000 In fact, the ADL demanded we let the Jew haters in.

00:32:28.000 And in a stunning turn of events, the people that the ADL said were Jew haters are actually the biggest defenders of Judaism in Israel right now in the country.

00:32:37.000 Us conservative evangelical Christians.

00:32:40.000 And Jewish donors, they have a lot of explaining to do, a lot of decoupling to do, because Jewish donors have been the number one funding mechanism of radical, open-border, neoliberal, quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions, and nonprofits.

00:32:58.000 This is a beast created by secular Jews. 1.00

00:33:02.000 And now it's coming for Jews. 1.00

00:33:03.000 And they're like, what on earth happened?

00:33:06.000 And it's not just the colleges.

00:33:08.000 It's the nonprofits.

00:33:09.000 It's the movies.

00:33:10.000 It's Hollywood.

00:33:11.000 It's all of it.

00:33:12.000 It's like, time for you guys to wake up and say no more.

00:33:14.000 Draw a line in the sand.

00:33:15.000 I don't care if you hate me.

00:33:16.000 I will not live through another Holocaust. 0.98

00:33:20.000 I'm not going to do it.

00:33:21.000 And I sure hope that reckoning increases in volume and we see a mass divestment of these cancerous institutions.
