1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Welcome and his verdic with Center. Ted Kruz, Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: with You and Center. This may be one of the 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: most interesting stories we've gotten to talk about in a while, 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: and that is Democrats are so hell bent on being 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: the opposite of Donald Trump and Conservatives that they're now 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: advocating for people that are members of terrorist gang organizations 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: and demanding that we bring illegals back into America. You 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: cannot make this up. Well. 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: Ever since the election in November, Democrats have been flailing about. 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: They have been unable to coalesce behind any clear platform, 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 2: any clear policy agenda other than hatred for Donald Trump 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: and anger at rage at the voters for re electing him. 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: They've now seemed to settle on two policy positions, which 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 2: I have to admit are curious policy positions for a 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: party that was just resoundingly defeated at the polls. Number One, 16 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: Democrats have apparently decided the issue that's going to bring 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: them back to power is that Democrats want more illegal aliens, 18 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: and especially more illegal aliens who have been found by 19 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: courts to be members of MS thirteen. That's a fairly 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: remarkable position, and yet that is where they are Secondly, 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: they have decided that what we need in our college 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: campuses is more anti Semitism, more radicals, more Prohamas protesters, 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 2: and more anti American zealots who hate our nation. Now, 24 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: I got to say, Ben, as I say both of 25 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 2: those propositions, the words coming out of my mouth sound 26 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: absurd except for the fact that that is exactly where 27 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: today's Democrat party has decided to land. We're going to 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: lay out the facts behind both of those, both the 29 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: all in Democrat rush to get behind bringing more illegals 30 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: who are MS thirteen gang members back into this country, 31 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: and the Democrats defense of Harvard University, which is decided 32 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: they're not going to change a damn thing. They're going 33 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: to continue to discriminate on race, and they're going to 34 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: continue to let in every anti Semite they want to, 35 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: and who the heck is the federal government to try 36 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: to enforce civil rights laws against them. We're going to 37 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: break both those stories down today. 38 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is incredible. I also want to remind you, guys, 39 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: many of you may be listening to the show and 40 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: you're new to the show. Hit that subscribe or auto 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: download button so you do not miss an episode. So 42 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: do that right now as well. Also, I want to 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: tell you about our friends at the International Fellowship of 44 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews. Israel is still under attack right now. 45 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: Missile fire has resumed from the Houthis, from Hesblah and 46 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: from Hamas and enemies that are seeking Israel destruction. Is 47 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: unfortunately what Israel's having to deal with every day. Here 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: in America, we cannot imagine living under constant threat of 49 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: terrorism and rocket attacks. Well, this is the reality in Israel. 50 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Parents taking their children to school, falling to the ground 51 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: to lay on top of their small children, trying to 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: comfort them as the sirens blair. The next attack against 53 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: Israel is happening now. With little Tom, I'm to prepare 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: and that's why I'm asking for your help. That is 55 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: also why it's so important that you know about the 56 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They provide life saving 57 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: aid and security essentials, and your urgently need a gift 58 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: today will help provide security essentials like bomb shelters, flag jackets, 59 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: and bulletproof vests for the first responders. They also provide 60 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: armored security vehicles, armored ambulances, and so much more. So 61 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: join me and stand with Israel. You can make a 62 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: donation by calling eight to eight for eight eight IFCJ. 63 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five, 64 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: or go online to support IFCJ dot org one word 65 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: support IFCJ dot org. So center, let's go back to 66 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: this story, and Democrats are now coalescing around an individual 67 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: that was deported out of this cunt. And not only 68 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: are they rallying, but they're putting together apparently a dead 69 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: delegation that they want to send down to L. Salvador 70 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: to quote stand up for the illegal immigrant that's a 71 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: MS thirteen gang member. 72 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 2: Well, there was an illegal immigrant whom the Trump administration 73 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: deported to L. 74 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: Salvador. 75 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: Abrego Garcia is his name, and he was here illegally. 76 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: Everyone admits that he came into this country illegally, and 77 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: he was also adjudicated not once, but twice to be 78 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: an MS thirteen gang member. Now President Trump has determined 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: MS thirteen to be a terrorist organization, and so he 80 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: was apprehended and he was deported by the Trump administration. Now, 81 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 2: it so happened that there was a court order that 82 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: said not that Abrego Garcia could not be deported, but 83 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 2: that he could not be deported back to l Salvador, 84 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: which is where he's from. He's an El Salvadorian national, 85 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: and that court order was a long it was an 86 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: older court order that was miss that was over looked, 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: and he was deported and sent to El Salvador. And 88 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: the Democrats have decided that that error is sufficient reason 89 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: they are jumping on airplanes and headed down to El 90 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: Salvador to apparently go camp outside the prison camp where 91 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: terrorists and murders and rapists are held, to say, you 92 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: know what America needs is more of those terrorists, murderers, 93 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: and rapists back in America. Now, I got to say 94 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: that that's a stunning position. So here's how the Washington 95 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: Examiner put it. Quote to hear Democrats like Chris Murphy 96 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: tell it, Garcia was just an innocent, doting father who 97 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: was randomly targeted by the Trump administrations to be sent 98 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: to El Salvador's terrorism confinement. Senator the Supreme Court then 99 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: ordered Trump to return this quote legal resident back to 100 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: the United States. Trump is refused, sending our nation into 101 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 2: a constitutional crisis. Senator Van Holland has even announced that 102 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 2: he's going to personally travel to El Salvador. To bring 103 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: Garcia home because you know that's what you want. It's 104 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: Democrats trafficking an illegal immigrants. Sure, the problem is that 105 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: Democrats leave a lot out of Garcia's story, and the 106 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: truth makes Trump's failure to return him quite reasonable. For starters, 107 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: Garcia was not in the United States legally, by the way. 108 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: Nobody disputes that. That is undisputed by his lawyer's own admission. 109 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: He enters the country illegally in twenty eleven. Then eight 110 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 2: years later, Garcia was arrested at home Depot while illegally 111 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: soliciting employment the Princes The Prince George's County Police Department 112 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: then transferred him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which began 113 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: deportation proceedings against him. As a defense to deportation, Garcia 114 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: tried to claim asylum, claiming that his life was in 115 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: danger from the Barrio eighteen gang. But his asylum claim 116 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: was denied and the judge ordered his removal. Let me 117 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: repeat that statement. But his asylum claim was denied and 118 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: the judge ordered his removal. Now here's the sentence that 119 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: complicates it. The judge did, however, grant Garcia a quote 120 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: withholding of removal order forbidding his removal to l Salvador, 121 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: but that did not make him a legal resident, as 122 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: Garcia's own lawyers admit, should the Trump administration wish to 123 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: remove plain if Ibrego Garcia to any other country, they 124 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: would have no legal impediment in doing so. And so 125 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: these are the facts that the Democrats have decided their 126 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: party is all about. You want to know what is 127 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: today's Democrat party stand for? More illegal immigrants, more gang 128 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: members that you know what? This ain't your grandfather's Democrat party. 129 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: So you've done international trips before. And if I remember 130 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: the name, I think it's Codell. So does is this 131 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: an official delegation? If it's senators and consciencemen going down there, 132 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: this is a real Codell. The American taxpayer is going 133 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: to pay for this photo op. 134 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: Yes, And and look that's that's one of the prerogatives 135 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 2: of being in the Senate is that you can travel 136 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: internationally on official travel, and each senator can make it 137 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: a termination of where he or she wants to go. 138 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: And it should be related to your responsibilities, related to 139 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: your work. But particularly for someone like Van Holland or Murphy, 140 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: they both served with me on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, 141 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: and so that in and of itself gives you a 142 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: significant justification to travel abroad work related. Let me give 143 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: you an example of that. If you go back during 144 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: the first Trump administration, when President Trump moved our embassy 145 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: in Israel to Jerusalem. That's something I had been fighting 146 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: for for for the entire time I've been in the Senate. 147 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: Presidents from both parties, both Republicans and Democrats, had promised 148 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: to move our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and presidents 149 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: in both parties had broken that promise. Well, Donald Trump 150 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: followed through on that promise, and it was the right 151 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: thing to do it with something that I advocated vigorously 152 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: to President Trump repeatedly in the Oval Office for him 153 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: to do so when he did. When we were opening 154 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 2: our embassy about a year later, I decided I wanted 155 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: to be there and and so I went down and 156 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: and I traveled down, and there were a number of 157 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: other Senators, number of other House members that went. And 158 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 2: you know what was striking ben is is when the 159 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: embassy was opened. It was actually on the date of 160 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: the seventieth anniversary of the creation of the modern state 161 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 2: of Israel. Not a single Democrat member of Congress came. 162 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer didn't come. No Democrat senators came, No Democrat 163 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: House members came. By the way, historically many congressional Democrats, 164 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 2: including Chuck Schumer, had called for moving our embassy to Jerusalem, 165 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: but what it was actually moved. None of them came, 166 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,479 Speaker 2: and several of them whined publicly, well, the Trump administration 167 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: didn't invite us. Well, you know what, they didn't invite 168 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 2: me either. I don't think they invited any members of Congress. 169 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: They just opened the embassy. I ended up going, and 170 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: I actually ended up going with with my and Lindsey Graham, 171 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: and I was literally walking along in the Capitol and 172 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: I turned to Mike, who's a very dear friend of mine, 173 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: and I said, Mike, We're going to open the embassy 174 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: in Jerusalem. I've been fighting for this for years. I 175 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: want to be there. Do you want to be there too? 176 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: He said absolutely, Let's go. And Lindsay wanted to come 177 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 2: to and so we went out of our official budgets 178 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: with the ability to purchase plane tickets and travel, and 179 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 2: so we traveled there to be there. We met with 180 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: Prime Minister net and Yah who we met with Senior 181 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: government officials. That's part of the job. So look, can 182 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: the Democrats travel Del Salvador if they want and is 183 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 2: that part reasonably of their work? Yes, But what they're 184 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: doing is traveling there in order to highlight we want 185 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: to bring this illegal immigrant, whom two courts have found 186 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 2: as an MS thirteen member back to America. That's astonishingly 187 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: bad policy and I think astonishingly bad politics. 188 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: You mentioned that this is I agree with you, astonishing 189 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: policy and bet politics. But the media has been giving 190 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: them cover on this story. If you listen to the media. 191 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: I was I was watching MSNBC, for example, and they 192 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: were they were talking, you were the one we had, Yeah, 193 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: I was the one, right, and I was I was 194 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: watching and they had the mother who said where it's 195 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: the next number of days since he has disappeared. And 196 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, well, hold on, if he's disappeared, then 197 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: how do you guys know where to go to find 198 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: him and see him and to have this delegation go 199 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: down there. Which one is it he's disappeared or you 200 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: know exactly where he is? And of course the answer 201 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: is they obviously know where he is. But MSNBC was like, 202 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: we stand with you. To the mother, like we're with 203 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: you in solidarity right now to his wife. And I'm 204 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: laughing because none of the facts have come up about 205 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: not one, but two courts saying this guy's MS thirteen 206 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: gang member. 207 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 2: None of these Democrats could even bring themselves to utter 208 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: the name Lincoln Riley. None of these Democrats could bring 209 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: themselves to utter the name Joscelyn Nungary. None of these 210 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: Democrats could bring themselves to utter the name Rachel Brand. 211 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: The American victims who were murdered by criminal illegal aliens 212 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: whom Democrats had released, they won't acknowledge, they won't fight for, 213 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: they don't care about. At the State of the Union 214 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: when Alexis Nungary, Jocelyn Nungare's mom was sitting next to 215 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: the First Lady, Milania Trump, and the President introduced her. 216 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: I know Jocelyn's mom really well. She's an incredible young 217 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: woman who's shown great courage and fortitude. Not a single 218 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: Democrat in the Chamber would applaud for. So they cannot 219 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 2: bring themselves to stand with Americans whose children have been 220 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: murdered by violent illegal immigrants whom they released. But you 221 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: give them an illegal immigrant ordered deported by a court 222 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 2: determined to be an MS thirteen gang member, and they 223 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: are all in and I want you to listen to 224 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: this exchange. So in the Oval office, the president of 225 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: El Salvador, President Bucelly, was here this week and he 226 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: met with President Trump in the Oval Office and there 227 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: were a number of members of the cabinet there, and 228 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: CNN of course immediately asked are you going to send 229 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: this individual back? And the exchanges is quite striking President Bukelly, 230 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 2: his answer was quite strong, and President Trump asked as 231 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: three people asked Pambondy, the Attorney General, asked Stephen Miller, 232 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: who's the deputy chief of staff and an expert on 233 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: immigration law, and asked Marco Rubio all to respond to 234 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: CNN's questions. And I got to say that their answers 235 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: were a masterclass in how to deal with media misinformation 236 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 2: and disinformation. It's a lengthy excerpts, but it's worth hearing 237 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 2: because it really does lay out the truth and expose 238 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: the media lies. Give a listen and. 239 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 4: Who your administration says was mistaken which the man who 240 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 4: was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. 241 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 5: Well, let me ask Pam, would you as to answer. 242 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,119 Speaker 3: That question, Sir President, First and foremost, he was illegally 243 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 3: in our country. He had been illegally in our country. 244 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: And in twenty nineteen two an immigration court and an 245 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 3: appellate immigration court ruled that he was a member of 246 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 3: MS thirteen and he was illegally in our country right now. 247 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: It was a paperwork, it was additional paperwork had needed 248 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: to be done. That's up to El Salvador if they 249 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 3: want to return him. That's not up to us. The 250 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 3: Supreme Court rule President that if as El Salvador wants 251 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: to return him, this is international matters, foreign affairs. If 252 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, meaning 253 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: provide a plane. 254 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 6: And if you are doing a great job, and you 255 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 6: just also respond to that question because you know it's 256 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 6: asked by CNN, and they always ask it with a 257 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 6: slant because they're totally slanting because they don't know what's happening. 258 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 5: That's why nobody's watching them. But would you answer that 259 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 5: question also gladly? 260 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: So, as Pam mentioned, there's the illegal alien from El Salvador. 261 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 4: So with respect to you, he's a citizen of El Salvador. 262 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 4: So it's very arrogant even for American media to suggest 263 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle 264 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 4: their own citizens as a starting point, as two immigration 265 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 4: courts found that he was a member of MS thirteen. 266 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 4: When President Trump declared MS thirteen to be a foreign 267 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 4: terrorist organization, that meant that he was no longer eligible 268 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 4: under federal law, which I'm sure you know you're very 269 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 4: familiar with, the iona that he was no longer eligible 270 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 4: for any form of immigration or relief in the United States. 271 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 4: So we had a deportation order that was valid, which 272 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 4: meant under our law he's not even allowed to be 273 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 4: present in the United States and had to be returned 274 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 4: because of the foreign terrorist designation. This issue was then 275 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 4: by a district court judge completely inverted, and a district 276 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 4: court judge tried to tell the administration that they had 277 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 4: to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador and fly him 278 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 4: back here. That issue was raised at the Supreme Court, 279 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 4: and the Supreme Court said the district court order was 280 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 4: unallowed and its main components were reversed nine zero, unanimously 281 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 4: stating clearly that neither Secretary of State nor the President 282 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 4: could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen 283 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 4: of El Salvador from Al Salvador, who again is a 284 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 4: member of m S thirteen, which is I'm sure you understand, rapes, 285 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 4: little girls, murderer's woman, murder's children, is engaged in the 286 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 4: most barbaric activities in the world. And I can promise 287 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 4: you if he was your neighbor, you would move right away. 288 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 5: So you don't plank the Supreme Court. In the Supreme 289 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 5: Court save was it nine to nothing? 290 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 4: Yes, there's a nine zero in our favor against the 291 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 4: district court ruling saying that no district court has the 292 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 4: power to compel the foreign policy function of the United States. 293 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 4: As Pam said, the ruling solely stated that if this 294 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 4: individual at El salvad Or sole discretion was sent back 295 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 4: to our country, that we could deport him a second time. Well, 296 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 4: no version of this legally ends up with him ever 297 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 4: living here, because he is a citizen of El Sis 298 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 4: that is the President of Old Salvador. Your questions about 299 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 4: it for the court can only be drifted to him, I. 300 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: Asked, President, do you plan to return him? 301 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 3: Well?

They laid out the facts that not 337 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: one but two judges have said he's an MS thirteen 338 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: gang member. And oh, by the way, when the media 339 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: says this guy did nothing wrong, he was in the 340 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: country illegally. He broke into the United States of America. 341 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: So the entire thing is propaganda from the left. 342 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 5: It is. 343 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: And by the way, I will say on multiple media 344 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: outlets have tweeted about this illegal immigrant who's been adjudicated 345 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 2: to be a gang member. They keep describing him as 346 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: a quote Maryland father. So since when does an illegal 347 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 2: immigrant who happen to be living in Maryland make him 348 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: a Maryland father. Yes, he was in fact apprehended in Maryland, 349 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: but he is. He is from l Salvador. It's why. Actually, 350 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: they asked the president of El Salvador, are you to 351 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 2: send him back? And at the end of the day, 352 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 2: the president of Al Salvador said, look, why am I? 353 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: Why would I smuggle a terrorist into the United States. 354 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 2: This is someone who's been found to be a member 355 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 2: of MS thirteen. It is illegal for him to come 356 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: to America. You're asking me, would I bring an illegal 357 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 2: immigrant terrorist into America? My answer is no. And the 358 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: media has no answer for that. They're like, no, no, no, 359 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 2: we want that. And what's astonishing, Okay, nobody's surprised. CNN 360 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 2: wants more illegal immigrant terrorists into this country. MSNBC wants 361 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: more illegal immigrant terrorists into this country. Now, to be fair, 362 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: CNN and MSNBC don't have to get votes. They just 363 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 2: have to appeal to radical leftists. But Democrats presumably want 364 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 2: to get votes from normal people. This is a very 365 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: curious issue for them to lean all in on. But 366 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: I got to say this defines who today's Democrat party is. 367 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile real quick. If 368 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: you've got a cell phone and your cell phone is 369 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: not with Patriot Mobile, then the question I got to 370 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: ask you, is why why have you not made the switch?

It's pretty 404 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: clear they're trying to a figure out who's in charge, 405 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: and b the radicals are getting to push the agenda, 406 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: which brings us to Harvard, and Trump has said we 407 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: are freezing the funding going to Harvard. They have slashed 408 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: over two point two billion in funding to Harvard after 409 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: the school is defied federal law, and the White House 410 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: says we're not playing around. A lot of Americans, by 411 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: the way, may not realize that two point two in fact, 412 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: a lot more than that is going to Harvard of 413 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: your tax dollars. 414 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Harvard gets roughly nine billion dollars in federal taxpayer dollars, 415 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: so it gets an enormous amount. Now, it's a huge 416 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: research institution, and it does some good research. It does 417 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: medical research and scientific research, and some of that researches 418 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: is valuable. But but what the Trump administration is announced, 419 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 2: the Joint Task Force on Combating Anti Semitism has announced 420 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 2: that it's freezing over two billion dollars in multi year 421 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 2: grants and contracts to Harvard. Uh And and that was 422 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: following the school's president putting out a statement saying it 423 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: would not comply with the Trump administration's demands on on 424 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: anti semitism. And and I got to say, this is 425 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 2: a battle that that Harvard and a lot of academic 426 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 2: institutions are putting out statements in support of Harvard. So brave, 427 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: so brave. Now, I will say most other institutions, when 428 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: the Trump administration has threatened their funding, they've caved, and 429 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: they've caved very quickly. But the other institutions are happy 430 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: to applaud Harvard and say yes, yes, yes, lose your 431 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 2: funds you're you're so brave. Uh and I And what 432 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: is striking is that Democrats, Barack Obama, the Democrat governor Massachusetts, 433 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 2: are all lining up behind Harvard and and and there 434 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: is a reason when you look at the core basis 435 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party. 436 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: Uh. 437 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 2: You know, there was a time in a prior generation 438 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: when the Democrat Party was considered a blue collar party. 439 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 2: And in the age of FDR, it was a party 440 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 2: of union members and working class uh and and and 441 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 2: in fact, one of the reasons that that FDR was 442 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 2: was treated with contempt is because he was a very 443 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: wealthy person, as many Democrats are. But but he was 444 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 2: considered a quote traitor to his class because he was 445 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 2: a rich man who became a historic Democrat leader. Well, 446 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 2: that Democrat Party doesn't exist anymore. The Democrat Party no 447 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 2: longer cares about the blue collar and in fact, they 448 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 2: routinely destroyed blue collar jobs. Today's Democrat Party is a 449 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 2: party of coastal elites. And and it is a party 450 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 2: that is comprised of big universities and and and big 451 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: business and big tech and big Hollywood, all of whom 452 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 2: have overlapping problems. All of them are are in bed 453 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: with China and and and all of them have been 454 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: taken over by radical leftism, by cultural Marxism. 455 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 3: As you know. 456 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: The most recent book I wrote is entitled Unwoke, How 457 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America, And each chapter breaks 458 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: down a different major institution that's been captured by the 459 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 2: radical left. The first chapter is entitled Universities the Wuhan 460 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 2: Lab of the Woke Virus. And what I argue is 461 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 2: that it is universities and sadly, my alma mater, Harvard, 462 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: where the woke virus was first created in a lab, 463 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 2: and then it mutated and spread, and it spread throughout 464 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 2: just about every other major institution in this country. And 465 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: so Harvard has been the locusts of much of the 466 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 2: radical leftism and cultural Marxism that has done enormous damage 467 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 2: to our institutions. And Harvard is digging in, and they're 468 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: claiming that they're digging in in defense of free speech. 469 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 2: But what they're really digging in on on it is 470 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 2: they don't want to change their policies. Number One, that 471 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: discriminate on race. They love discriminating on race. They love 472 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: dei that they love putting race front and center, which 473 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: by the way is directly contrary to federal civil rights law. 474 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 2: And they also want to continue admitting radical anti Semites. 475 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 2: They want to continue looking the other way at prohamas 476 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: protesters who threaten Jewish students, who threaten violence, who threaten intimidation, 477 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 2: who call for genocide, And they want to continue admitting 478 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 2: and promoting anti American radicals. And that includes both students 479 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 2: and faculty. And so when the administration put a series 480 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 2: of demands in place that Harvard said, no, I got 481 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: to tell you, Harvard thinks they want this fight. In 482 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 2: my opinion, the Trump administration is eager for this fight 483 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: with Harvard. And you could not ask Harvard has an 484 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 2: endowment of over fifty billion dollars. And you know, one 485 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: of my favorite responses to that to Harvard, Everard's supposed 486 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: stance on principle, where they talked about standing for the 487 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 2: First Amendment, is Hillsdale College, which is a great college. 488 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 2: It is a conservative college, a free market college. But 489 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 2: one of the things they do is they don't take 490 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: federal money. And Hillsdale actually twigted, well, you can say 491 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 2: anything you like, just don't take federal money. And oddly enough, 492 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: Harvard doesn't want to do that. They want the taxpayers 493 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 2: to fund them, but they want to continue to be 494 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 2: embracing racism and vitriolic anti American sentiment while at the 495 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: same time being funded by American tax payers. 496 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: So when you look at this fight, I do think 497 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: one of the very interesting parts of all of this 498 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: that we're talking about is now Americans are really waking 499 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: up and realizing like where their money has been going, 500 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: how much of it is going. And you're right, there's 501 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: some of this as research, and that's thing we can 502 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: be proud of, and that's a good thing, But a 503 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: lot of this is going to indoctrinating kids with radical 504 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: leftist ideals. And that's part of the reason why I 505 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: think they need this money, right, They want the money 506 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: for that reason. They've been doing a great job of 507 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: doing that for the last several decades. So if the 508 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: money does dry up at places like Harvard and then 509 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: we start to see more questions being asked about other money. 510 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: Not only could this change universities in a positive way, 511 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: I think, for free speech and not having one set 512 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: of views that are indoctrinated, but it could also save 513 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: the taxpayers a hell of a lot of money because 514 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: it's not just Harvard that's getting cash. 515 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but Harvard is the perfect test subject. And 516 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: our universities right now have become indoctrination labs. They've become 517 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: places that enforce rigid orthodoxy. And if you say something 518 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 2: that is contrary to the radical leftist view, you risk 519 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: being disciplined, you risk being having your grades, and you 520 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: also risk just not being admitted. And look, some of 521 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: the question comes down to a very simple what is 522 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: it that the administration was requesting? Because if the administration 523 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 2: was demanding Harvard must teach in every class that Donald 524 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 2: Trump is the greatest president who have ever lived, I 525 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 2: would agree with Harvard that no university could give in 526 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 2: to a government demand about a specific position like that, 527 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 2: particularly if it's one they disagree with. But that's not 528 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 2: what the Trump administration said. And I have in front 529 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: of me the letter that the Trump administration said. It's 530 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: five pages. I'm not going to read it all, but 531 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to read some of the portions of it. 532 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: So it is addressed both to Alan Garber, who is 533 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: the president of Harvard University, and the Penny Prisker, who 534 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 2: is the lead member of the Harvard Corporation. Penny Pritzker, 535 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 2: by the way, was a cabinet member under Barack Obama. 536 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 2: And the Harvard Corporation runs all of Harvard. And it's 537 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: this privately held corporation of all Democrats that run Harvard 538 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: as this left wing bastion. Here's how the letter begins. 539 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 2: Dear doctor Garber, the United States has invested in Harvard 540 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: University's operation because of the value to the country of 541 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: scholarly discovery and academic excellence. But an investment is not 542 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 2: an entitlement. It depends on Harvard upholding federal civil rights law, 543 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 2: and it only makes sense if Harvard fosters the kind 544 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 2: of environment that produces intellectual creativity and scholarly rigor, both 545 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: of which are antithetical to ideological capture. Harvard has in 546 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 2: recent years failed to live up to both the intellectual 547 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: and civil rights conditions that justify federal investment, but we 548 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: appreciate your expression of commitment to repairing those failures and 549 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: welcome your collaboration in restoring the university to its promise. 550 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 2: We therefore present the below provisions as the basis for 551 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 2: an agreement in principle that will maintain Harvard's financial relationship 552 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: with the federal government. Here's the first governance and leadership reforms. 553 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: By August twenty twenty five, Harvard must make meaningful governance 554 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 2: reform and restructuring to make possible major change consistent with 555 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 2: this letter, including fostering clear lines of authority and accountability. 556 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 2: Apparently that was objectionable. Empowering tenured professors and senior leadership, 557 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: and from among the tenured professorate and senior leadership exclusively 558 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 2: those most devoted to the scholarly mission of the university 559 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 2: and committed to the changes indicated in this letter. Reducing 560 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 2: the power held by students and untenured faculty. Reducing the 561 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: power held by faculty, whether tenured or untenured, at administrators 562 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: more committed to activism than scholarship. Now, again, this is 563 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: something Harvard found unacceptable. We're not willing to focus on 564 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: scholarship instead of activism. Note that's a violation of what 565 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 2: we want to do. And reducing forms of governance bloat, duplication, 566 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 2: or decentralization that interfere with the possibility of reforms indicating 567 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 2: this letter. So that's the first one. Apparently something was 568 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 2: objectionable about that. 569 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 3: What's the next one? 570 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 2: Merit based hiring reform by August twenty twenty five, the 571 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: university must adopt and implement merit based hiring policies and 572 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 2: ceased all preferences based on race, color, religion, sex, or 573 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 2: national origin throughout its hiring, promotion, compensation, and related practices 574 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 2: among faculty, staff, and leadership. Now, mind you, that is 575 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 2: existing federal civil rights law, you cannot discriminate against based 576 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 2: on race. And yet for Harvard that is it is outrageous. 577 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 2: Of course they want to discriminate based on race. It's 578 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: an ideological commitment. What's the next one? Merit based admissions reform? 579 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: By August twenty twenty five, the university must adopt and 580 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 2: implement merit based admission policies and cease all preferences based 581 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 2: on race, color, national origin, or proxies thereof throughout its 582 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 2: undergraduate program, each graduate program, individual, each of its professional schools, 583 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: and other programs. Again, the idea of actually admitting students 584 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 2: based on merit rather than discriminating based on race, which 585 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 2: minds you? Discriminating based on race as illegal under federal 586 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: civil rights law. To Harvard is anathema. What's the next one? 587 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 2: International admissions reform? By August twenty twenty five, the university 588 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: must reform its recruitment, screening, and admission of international students 589 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 2: to prevent admitting students hostile to the American values and 590 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 2: institutions inscribed in the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence, 591 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 2: including students supportive of terrorism or anti Semitism. Again, apparently 592 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 2: that is outrageous and unacceptable. The next one viewpoint diversity 593 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 2: and admission and hiring. By August twenty twenty five, the 594 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 2: university shall commission an external party which will satisfy the 595 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 2: Federal Government as to its competence and good faith, to 596 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,719 Speaker 2: audit the student body, faculty, staff, and leadership for viewpoint 597 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 2: diversity such that each department, field, or teaching unit must 598 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 2: be individually viewpoint diverse. Now, notably, they're not saying higher conservatives. 599 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: They're not saying hire Trump supporters. They're saying you cannot 600 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 2: have a faculty that is aversally orthodox and indoctrinating that 601 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 2: all have the same view that. You know, the left 602 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 2: loves to prattle on abo about diversity as our strength, 603 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 2: and by diversity they mean we must all be leftist 604 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 2: to believe the same thing, but saith though with different 605 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: skin colors. Now, I actually think diversity means having different ideas, 606 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: confronting ideas you disagree with. Look, I go through these 607 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 2: to give an example. I think each of those demands 608 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 2: are very reasonable. They're saying, comply with federal law. Be 609 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 2: an institution that actually does what you say, what you 610 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 2: claim to be doing. And yet Harvard is outraged. How 611 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: dare you hold us to the terms of federal law. 612 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 2: We cannot comply with that. 613 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's truly incredible.
