WEBVTT - Storming The Ivory Tower - November 20th, Hour 3 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:04.960 Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.920 All right news roundup and information overload. Our toll free, 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:10.760 our numbers eight hundred and ninety four one sean if 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.600 you want to be a part of the program. It 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:20.160 is amazing the reaction that Vivake Ramaswami Elon Musk are 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:25.560 getting in terms of expediting and getting rid of government 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:30.120 bureaucracy and waste, broad and abuse, and returning to our 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.840 original purpose as a country, to be a constitutional republic, 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.960 not a cradle to grave womb to the tomb, equal 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.360 result society. And I have pointed out many many times 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:46.240 in this program, whatever manifestation name you give it, socialism, Marxism, statism, 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.440 it doesn't really matter because it all ends the same way, 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.840 unfulfilled promises. It ends with more poverty, and it ends 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:59.520 with a loss of freedom. And what Elon and Vivak 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.320 are being tasked with is to bring back the concept 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:08.040 of limited government, which results in greater freedom unless government 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.039 intrusion into your life. Do you really want the government 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.480 telling you what kind of car you can and cannot drive, 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.600 even if you have to pay a lot more money 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.200 for the one they want you to drive. Do you 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.400 really want the government picking out your washer, your dryer, 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.600 your refrigerator, your air conditioner. Do we really need the 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.479 nanny state telling us that you can't buy a big gulp? 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.880 I don't recommend it, but you really want the nanny 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.600 state to tell you that I don't. And if I 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.920 want to have a quarter pound of with cheese and 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.959 a large fry and a coke, which I occasionally do have, 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.560 and I usually only one half of the bread, I 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.399 will occasionally have one, I have a craving. I have 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.360 to fulfill the craving anyway. So one of the big 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.560 reforms that they are discussing, and Linda McMahon will be 0:01:54.720 --> 0:02:00.880 the Secretary Secretary of Education, is to send education back 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.200 to the States now, just instead of you know, these 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:08.400 snowflakes shaving their heads and vowing not to have sex, 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.000 and hoarding and stockpiling abortion pills that are not going 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.440 to be taken away from them and birth control that 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.600 apparently they're not going to use, and committing themselves to 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.000 divorcing their husbands or breaking up with their boyfriends, which 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.560 is all insanity. With all that in the background, there's 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.240 going to be a flipout over the idea of sending 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.480 education back to the states. Now, what does that mean? 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:39.280 That means that the federal government will allocate moneies directly 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.520 to the states, or frankly, I would even hope that 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:47.040 maybe they bypass that and give monies to families for 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.160 every child that they have in school, which would then 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:54.440 allow the parents to make educational decisions for their own 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.640 children and take more control over their children's education. Now, 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.760 what schools do you think they would be most likely 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.320 to choose if given that money directly? Well, I would 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.119 argue it probably be the schools the pook kids in uniforms, 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:15.639 the schools that focus on reading, writing, arithmetic, history, science, 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.919 and not woke. I would imagine they would like schools 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.360 that put kids in uniforms and kids that and schools 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.680 that had discipline, and schools that didn't have feminine hygiene 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.600 products and boys' bathrooms and schools that wouldn't offer gender 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.920 affirming care without consulting parents. Parents are not potted plants. 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.920 I'm just guessing here. Anyway, There is a terrific new 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.360 book out and I want to tell you about that 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.800 in a second, But this is how bad things have 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.840 gotten on college campuses. And on top of that, you 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:51.720 have Biden and Harris defying a Supreme Court order and 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.280 having student loan forgiveness even after the Supreme Court ruled 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.400 that they did not have the right to do that. Anyway, Let's, 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.480 for example, listen to the universe City of Washington. You 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.760 might remember these protests, you know, chanting one solution for Israel, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:33.840 which is wiping Israel off the map. Listen, what is 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:38.080 river to the Sea means? It means wiping Israel off 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.479 the map. That's death to Israel. What is anthropotomy it 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:48.840 means holy war and revolution, and that means attacking Israel. Anyway, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.560 here to weigh in on this and much more. He's 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.200 the former Speaker of the Florida House. He's now the 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.280 president of New College of Florida. Richard Cochran is with us. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:58.760 He has a brand new book out, by the way, 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.000 Storming the Ivory Tower. Welcome to the program. It's on 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.120 Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com. Will also in bookstores 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.680 around the country. Mister speaker, great to have you. How 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:09.800 are you no? 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.520 Great to be on the show, Sewan, I appreciate it. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.440 It's great to by the way, finally live in the 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.120 Free State of Florida. I will tell you. It's a 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.920 big difference in my life. The best decision I ever made. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.240 Welcome aboard. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.240 Well, we appreciate your warm welcome. Tell me about this 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.919 book and tell me what you think Donald Trump and 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.680 eat Elon Musk and Linda McMahon and the vag Ramaswami 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.400 have planned for the Department of Education. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.160 Well, the book is in a short synopsis. You know, 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.480 this is a seventy year problem. William Bucket wrote, god 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.760 Man and Yell. In the early fifties, Alan Bloom wrote 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.960 Closing the American Mind. So what we tried to do 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.680 is I said, hey, enough, we all get it, and 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.600 doctor Nation went back to the fifties. It's gotten horrific. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.520 It's gotten to the point where it's dangerous and it's 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.440 a threat to our country. Here's nine things that you 0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.880 can do. I always tell people to spread chapter nine years. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.279 Things that we did at New College that changed it 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.320 in eighteen months and we didn't have any of those 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.520 crazy uprisings and eliminated the indoctrination, and eliminated the DEI 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.160 and the critical jender theory. As far as President Trump, 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.120 he's choosing, Look, these are disruptive people. I know so 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.800 many of them. They know what they believe, they know 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.520 their ideology and their kind of damn the consequences. We're 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.440 going forward to accomplish great things for students, and I 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.080 think he's going to I think he should blow it up. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.760 I think he should get the Department of Education. I 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.919 think send in a field team six and do what 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.400 we did in Florida. You have the power of the purse. 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:34.320 I would out of bullshit. 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:35.560 You have the power of the purse. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.320 You can bring every single one of those states to 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:41.040 their needs. And it's the one area where the Teachers Union, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:45.880 the most insidious organization, is least dominant when President Trump 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.200 is there. They dominate at the local level, they dominated. 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:49.559 At the state level. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.320 You want to bring local and Newsome and Whitmar to 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.799 their knees. Say you're not getting these billions of dollars 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.600 unless all those things you said, here's your school choice 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.599 you have to have. Here's the indoctrination, the end of DEI, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.560 the end of critical gender theory, here's the end of 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:10.080 these uh basically organizations that are accrediting in US. Here's 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:11.480 all of the things that you're going to do, and 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:12.960 if you don't, you're not gonna have billions of dollars, 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.560 and we did it in Florida, and we have liberals 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.000 like they have liberal states. We had liberal counties. We 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.640 had our New York and Illinois and California's and we 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.080 bought them ultimate these You're not masking kids, You're opening 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.520 up schools and it works. It's a hammer. And I 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.280 think in the hands of a Donald Trump and a 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:32.240 great organization and leadership there, you're gonna have radical transformation 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.360 faster than any other wise. 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.000 Give us, give us some details, specifically the things that 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.800 you did, among which, for example, in August of twenty 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.280 twenty earlier than I think any other state, maybe Georgia 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.280 Governor Kemp did the same thing. But you kept schools 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.160 open and young kids were not the victims of COVID. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.800 It was it was older adults, people with pre existing conditions, 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.400 people with underlying conditions. But you took a lot of 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.440 heat for that at the time. And you will also 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.720 restored panity to higher education in the state. Tell us 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.480 exactly what you did, yeah. 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.560 I mean, basically, and we looked at the data. You know, 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.520 they gas light us all the time, the progressive left. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.800 Whatever we're doing, it's Marxist. You know, accuse them of 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.680 what we're doing, and then it'll create confusion and we 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.760 can get away with the longer and do better, you know. 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.200 So they basically say to us, we're killing kids. We weren't. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.480 Closing schools is what was killing kids and increasing suicides 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.320 and increasing drug usage when they weren't at risk. The 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.160 scientific data was there back in March and April that 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.680 kids were not big spreaders and even if they did spread, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.920 it was less effective on their bodies than the common cold. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.080 We lost more kids, I mean to the common flu. 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.640 We lost more kids to the flu than we did 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.560 to COVID. And so we just looked at the data 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.320 and said, this is what we're doing. And yes we 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.960 get sued. We had coffins put out in part of 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.560 our department. You know, everything under the sun, and it's 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.800 the same thing. But it starts with leadership, Jehan. You 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:53.800 have to have great leadership. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:54.960 You have to have a rule of law. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.320 Where's the rule of law in that Washington campus that 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.720 we just listened to. That stuff should be shut down. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.200 That's not functional and what the left really likes. Just 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.840 as you mentioned, even with the Biden administration, they don't 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:08.800 have a rule of law. They don't even listen to 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.760 the law. I want to do something in violation of 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.880 Supreme Court, I'm doing it. We adhere to the rule 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.120 of law, and you have to have that enforcement mechanism. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.439 You have to get rid of the shared governance where 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.559 the faculty control who comes to school, what they're taught, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.320 and who gets hired to teach them. I mean, there's 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.000 a litany of things that I put in the chapter 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.959 of all of the things we did. And immediately, in 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:33.080 eighteen months, we took what was arguably the most liberal, progressive, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.199 hard left public school in their country. And in eighteen months, 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.320 it's a night and day it is a completely different institution. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.160 That's what I love about the state of Florida. Let's 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.800 talk about what's going on on college campuses around the country. 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:52.360 This Prohamas wing, this radicalized wing that had been allowed 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:57.240 to take over entire college campuses and intimidate Jewish students 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.560 there to the point where the schools were telling Jewish 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.800 students so they have to stay stay home. That's ridiculous. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.120 Yeah, And that's where you come in and you say, hey, 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.120 here's the deal. Any of this stuff goes on, you know, 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.240 either revamped the whole student loan process, or basically say 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.520 you're not eligible. None of your institutions and your state 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.040 are eligible for student loans unless this stuff is eradicated. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.439 It's going to shut them down. Donald Trump, I think, 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.640 has an opportunity to bring these governors to their knees, 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.640 like nobody's business. And it's the hammer of that money 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.520 that works the quickest, the fastest and the most efficient 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.120 way to get a return on investment to guarantee that 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.080 you're not going to have that stuff. And the nice 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.920 thing about and again this is a horrific thing to say. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.560 It was just a catastrophic event, but sometimes there's silver 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.640 linings that come out of just terrible events like October seventh, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.439 and when you got Bill Mahers and you got Bill Ackman, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.920 who are now saying DEI and then Harvard was deid 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.960 they added belonging. I mean, the already of the words 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.480 they choose when they do the exact opposite is shocking. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.280 But all of these folks, everybody, and you saw it 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.760 in the election, a landslide election, because people are like, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.000 what the heck are we teaching our kids? And it 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.160 all can come to a rapid close. And we proved 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.120 it in Forida. The Florida model was we went to 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.920 our liberal quote unquote states or county. For us, it 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.360 was counties, your burs your Miami days or Pomby just 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.600 said into fifth. They all ceased into fifth, every single 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.760 one of them. Yeah, they fight, but ultimately we were 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.280 right and they absolutely case right. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.360 Quick break, we'll come right back. We'll continue with former 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.920 Speaker of the Florida House, president of New College of Florida, 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.240 Richard Corkoran, his new book, Storming the Ivory Tower, Hannity 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.600 dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores around the country. Straight ahead, 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.400 all right, to continue now. He is the president of 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.280 New College of Florida, Richard Corkoran, and he's shaking things 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.240 up in about a year. It's pretty unbelievable. He has 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.400 a new book out, Storming the Ivory Tower, and you 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.160 can get it on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com, 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.480 and bookstores around the country. Let's talk about when you 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.479 took over the New College of Florida, which is in Sarasota, 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.160 and you moved into the president's office, and at that 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.440 time you had to deal with radicalism on campus, a 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.880 woke mob. It created a huge media firestorm, just like 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:19.360 when you were, you know, working for Governor DeSantis, and 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.440 you know, in a year you were able to achieve 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.720 something that at the time I think seemed impossible, and 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.520 that is turn around the New College of Florida, and 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.199 right now on that college campus, free speech is protected, 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:38.319 violence is not acceptable, Anti Semitism abolished, the DEI bureaucracy 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:43.480 totally eliminated, and enrollment records are being broken. So obviously 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.839 people are searching out, you know, exactly what you're offering. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.360 And I can tell you that in the Northeast, people 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.280 that I know that you know, maybe in the past, 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.800 would have been looking at Havid and Yale and Princeton, 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.400 They're now looking at southern schools. They're looking at UVA, 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.600 they look at Vanderbilt, they look at Florida colleges, they 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.119 look at a University of Georgia. There you're looking everywhere, 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:08.160 but you know the Ivy League Ivory Tower. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.840 Yeah, and I think you're seeing that exodus. I'll start 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.959 with what you I heard you say on the preamble, 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.839 Sean call it what you want, call it statism, Marxism, socialism, 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.760 it doesn't matter. You know what it ends in. It 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.440 ends in as you say it ends in death, it 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.680 ends in anarchy, it ends in in poverty. And that's 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.920 what New College was. That's why the governor said, wait 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.240 a second, this is a taxpayer funded university. We cannot 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.000 have this. And what was what was there was exactly 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.679 that we were. We had the smallest amount of students, 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.000 and the students that came would last only a semester 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.439 or a week and they would leave. And they identified 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.960 as hardcore liberal Democrats, and they got canceled and bullied 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.760 and accosted and they had to leave because they weren't 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.800 progressive enough. It was a toxic culture by consultants. It 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.120 was a hateful culture and all the things you'd expect 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.800 when you have anarchy and you have that kind of 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.200 a form of government. So you had to eradicate that 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.840 so quickly. You know, you know, we have the great leadership. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.200 We bought in Christopher Rufos and Matthew Spaulding's all these 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:10.280 great academic leaders to run the institution. We put people 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.959 on the ground, people and personnel or see, you bring 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.440 in all good people, it changes every organization beneath them. 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:18.200 You have the rule. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.040 Unbelievable. Yeah, what a great story, what a courageous story 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.240 on your part, and what a great success story. And 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.680 it shows how quickly things can turn around. And I 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:31.120 believe on the economy, borders, law and order, energy, I 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.640 think the economy, I think all things that Donald Trump 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.720 will do in pretty short order as well. Let's see 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.040 where we are two years from now. Anyway, we appreciate you. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:45.120 The president of New College of Florida, Richard Corkoran, is 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.160 with us storming the Ivory Towers new book, Amazon dot com, 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.640 Hannity dot com, bookstores around the country.

It was 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.960 absolutely stunning. I don't know if you live in the 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.440 mountains at all, but it was if you have.
