00:00:00.000
First, the Trump administration says, we're not going to be funding you.
00:00:04.420
Then two, Harvard sues the Trump administration, right?
00:00:08.380
Then three, Trump's administration, irate at Harvard, plans to pull additional billion dollars in funding.
00:00:15.620
This is the page three Wall Street Journal, Rob.
00:00:18.140
It looks like you've got a video here. I'll read this and then if you want to play the clip.
00:00:21.780
The Trump administration, furious after Harvard publicly released a long list of demands sent on April 11th,
00:00:27.000
and plans to pull an additional billion dollars in health research funding.
00:00:32.060
The demands included federal government oversight of admissions, hiring, and the ideology of students and staff.
00:00:37.720
Harvard's president, Alan Garber, stated, the intention is not to work with us,
00:00:42.940
to address anti-Semitism in a cooperative and constructive manner,
00:00:46.840
and confirmed we will not accept their proposed agreement.
00:00:49.440
The administration, initially planning leniency, now seeks to pressure Harvard from more than Columbia University.
00:00:59.680
Harvard's release of the demands letter from the task force to combat anti-Semitism,
00:01:03.840
which was not marked private, positioned the university as a face of resistance.
00:01:08.540
The administration froze 2.26 billion dollars in funding and threatened Harvard's tax-exempt status
00:01:22.140
They're obviously anti-Semitic, and all of a sudden they're starting to behave.
00:01:27.820
But when you see where they, what they were saying, what they were doing,
00:01:35.460
when you watch that woman, that horrendous president that ruined the image of Harvard,
00:01:42.040
maybe permanently, in Congress, in the halls of Congress,
00:01:45.820
when you take a look at what happened there, it was horrific.
00:01:52.120
And, you know, I've looked at a lot having to do with it.
00:01:56.680
I'm not involved in it being handled by lawyers.
00:02:01.640
But tax-exempt status, I mean, it's a privilege.
00:02:07.100
And it's been abused by a lot more than Harvard, too.
00:02:17.080
I don't believe they've made a final ruling, but it's...
00:02:20.180
So starting, we have to remember how this started.
00:02:24.040
This started with, you know, Jewish students on campus not being protected,
00:02:31.120
and then a president sitting in front of Congress admitting by saying,
00:02:36.840
oh, I'm not answering that question, that's not what we've done, but admitting it.
00:02:39.940
And then she, you know, suffers a consequence when she goes back because he's right.
00:02:45.580
And now what they're saying is saying, look, you seem to say you're a private institution
00:02:58.440
This money that they're getting from the U.S. government for research or whatever they're doing
00:03:02.480
at the university started with the taxpayers, started with you.
00:03:10.780
I mean, you take a look at the hundreds of millions of dollars that went there.
00:03:21.860
Public money is out of your taxes that they collected.
00:03:32.300
And so Harvard likes to say, oh, we're private.
00:03:35.500
And then the government is saying, okay, well, then you go live your private life.
00:03:39.620
I'll just turn off this valve, and I'm not going to send you this money.
00:03:45.160
It reminds me, you know, of, you know, you can't live in two worlds.
00:03:50.720
And Harvard's trying to live in two worlds right now, and they are getting called out.
00:03:55.120
But what they're getting called out is the onions getting peeled back.
00:03:58.240
You had the Yale case where Yale got sued by Asian students saying we're being discriminated against.
00:04:05.220
And when you line up the applications and our credentials and our test scores, numbers, why aren't we getting admitted?
00:04:17.320
And then Yale ended up in front of the Justice Department under Biden.
00:04:30.220
And, okay, well, then there's no problem telling us all about your sources of foreign funding and where you're getting it.
00:04:39.900
And then he's saying, you know, I have filed Section 117 reports for decades.
00:04:45.120
Okay, we're not asking if you filed Section 117 reports for decades.
00:04:49.820
We're asking if you can identify all the sources on all Section 117 reports.
00:04:56.160
Or maybe did you not file all of the reports you're supposed to?
00:05:02.520
Because when discovery comes, by the way, this is Scott Jennings, the CEO of CNN, having a conversation with Jameel Hill.
00:05:10.200
Watch this exchange about Harvard and look what her logic is.
00:05:14.400
So you admit that you want universities to exclude everyone that's a radical?
00:05:18.200
No, because there's no proof that they're actually being excluded.
00:05:21.580
96% of contributions from Harvard faculty went to Democrats.
00:05:27.100
I'm talking about who's on campus, who is teaching people.
00:05:32.800
Okay, so clearly you used to teach there, right?
00:05:41.280
So at Harvard, I just imagine all of these conservative politicians that go there, they go there because
00:05:47.020
If you're trying to come on here tonight and argue that Harvard is a hotbed of conservatism,
00:05:52.760
So are we going to do the same thing at Baylor?
00:05:55.720
Are we going to invite more liberal thoughts to those universities?
00:05:58.120
I think if public universities or any university taking public funds is violating the civil
00:06:03.160
rights of Jewish students or actively screening out conservatives and conservative viewpoints,
00:06:08.840
By the way, so let me tell you what happened with me.
00:06:10.940
I got accepted into this program with Harvard called OPM, Owner-President Management Program.
00:06:18.440
So we get an RV and we, you know, get the RV out there.
00:06:26.060
And while I'm there, the experience was a great experience because the attendees that are there.
00:06:46.400
Chow hall is what it's called because a man named Chow gave $100.
00:06:52.740
The man said, go to Harvard, type in Harvard chow hall.
00:07:13.120
So they say everyone's going to watch the debate in the chow hall by the stairs.
00:07:21.680
And keep in mind, this isn't at a time where we're doing P-B-D podcast.
00:07:34.980
Vinny, do you know how many people out of the 300 people in the room rooted for Trump once?
00:07:53.980
I said, tell me one person here is not for Hillary.
00:07:57.620
You know me when we go to Chops and I'm going to bring up the conversation.
00:08:00.940
So tell me, how come none of you guys are rooting for Trump?
00:08:05.160
So all of you guys know what's right for the rest of us.
00:08:12.980
This is not a place where you guys believe in debate.
00:08:15.020
This is a place where you guys want to brainwash everybody to think the way you think.
00:08:24.220
You all look down at people like us who have a different opinion on what can happen, right?
00:08:30.180
I'm telling you, if discovery opens up, it is going to be horrible for Harvard.
00:08:39.640
I mean, what percentage of university professors lean liberal versus conservative?
00:08:51.500
Yeah, there's actually a new report out there that could be as high as 28 to 1.
00:08:55.800
Harvard studies indicate that over 80% of Harvard faculty identify as liberal.
00:09:02.860
only 2% identify as conservative, which is 18%.
00:09:16.920
I said, what percentage of university professors are liberal versus conservative?
00:09:25.660
But nobody's shocked to hear what's going on here.
00:09:29.980
And you talked about the hotbed of this type of mentality.
00:09:41.600
Go a little over and then ask specifically about Harvard.
00:09:44.600
Yeah, it should maybe pop down over there and ask about Harvard.
00:09:53.400
So, you know, I'm not in favor of government overreach or the federal government stepping in here.
00:09:59.820
But when you have a massive monopoly, what's the definition of monopoly?
00:10:03.840
Over 50% or over 75% of market share, whatever it is.
00:10:15.200
Like you think Hamas should run the country somehow, something like that.
00:10:18.720
So like the guy that's running against Cuomo in New York.
00:10:21.980
But, you know, I remember when we were researching Harvard, when Claudine Gay and the university professors were getting grilled by Elise Stefanik.
00:10:29.140
And I was like, what the hell is going on here?
00:10:31.460
And Harvard, there's a, it's called FIRE, like Freedom Index of, find that, Freedom of Speech.
00:10:39.420
Harvard was the least free university for free speech.
00:10:55.440
Placing it last among the 251 universities surveyed.
00:10:59.820
The score is considered abysmal and significantly lower than average.
00:11:11.920
So when Peabody tells a story about he went to Harvard and everyone was against Trump.
00:11:31.080
So when you talk about the East Coast liberal elites and their ivory towers, Harvard is center stage for that type of mentality.
00:11:40.960
By the way, there's a trickle-down effect, whether it's Stanford, whether it's Cal Berkeley, whether it's GW, whether it's Columbia in New York, whether it's GW.
00:11:53.940
So now we have adults who are going to send their very smart children, like Tom Ellsworth, who, should I go and send them to Harvard?
00:12:05.360
It's like, well, let me actually go to a university that they're not going to come out indoctrinated with basically Marxist ideology.
00:12:16.320
If Tico was in Harvard, in three days you'd get a phone call and be like, I can't.
00:12:25.060
And then we wonder why all the youth, a lot of them have lost their freaking minds.
00:12:31.100
I had no idea what was going to happen with the Yetis.
00:12:34.820
When our team said, Pat, they're not going to last.
00:12:39.400
Next thing you know, we were swamped by messages of Pat, can we get additional Yetis to do collaboration with Value Tim and Future Looks Bright?
00:12:50.900
Rob, if you want to play this clip, we got different ones.
00:12:53.220
These are based on what many of you guys asked.
00:12:55.700
This is the Future Looks Bright Yeti, whether it's a pink one, whether it's the red one, whether it's the Tiffany blue or the white.
00:13:03.860
These seems to be, this one seems to be, it's sick.
00:13:10.520
And on top of this, Rob, if you can also go to the website, there are, I think it's 10 coolers that we got.
00:13:19.640
We're like, let's just see if there's a market for it.
00:13:21.140
I guarantee you that they'll be gone before we're up with the episode.
00:13:23.500
I said, let's get 10 and let's see how it does.
00:13:26.100
Look how sick that is with Future Looks Bright right on top of it.
00:13:31.360
Be the first to get it because these things will go very quickly.
00:13:36.020
Again, it is limited supply and they're absolutely sick.
00:13:41.340
When you go to work and you have this vitamin logo and the future looks bright, it looks insane.
00:13:45.600
Again, go to vtmerch.com, place your order with the Yeti collaboration.
