WEBVTT - Steve Schmidt explains how the Ivy League failed America's youth 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:08.879 We live in a time where trust has collapsed between 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:13.760 the American people and very nearly every institution you can 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:21.880 think to imagine, the Boy Scouts, the Catholic Church, political parties, 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:31.800 the American government. Everywhere you look, there is wrongdoing, fraud, malfeasance. 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:38.640 Some of the most important institutions in the country have 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:49.879 long been considered to be the most important academic institutions. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:56.360 the University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, the University of Chicago, 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:03.240 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:11.800 University of California at Berkeley. These names are famous around 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:18.720 the world as centers of learning, institutions that made the 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:24.280 country strong. John Kennedy talked about this at one of 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:28.959 his last major speeches at Amherst in the fall of 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:34.920 nineteen sixty three, while honoring the poet Robert Frost. What 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:41.480 President Kennedy said, What purpose is therefore, a university in 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.840 an American society if not for there to be a 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:52.720 great national purpose attached to it? These great institutions of 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:58.520 learning that gave so much to the country have been 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:06.160 hijacked over the last generation, and the testimony before Congress 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:13.079 of the Presidents of the University of Pennsylvania at Harvard 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:20.480 and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is evidence of the 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:29.320 fruits of that hijacking. It was an ideological hijacking that 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:37.960 became dogmatic and intolerant and nasty. Over the course of 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:46.880 a generation, America's elite universities stopped teaching, stopped challenging, stopped 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:52.680 making young people uncomfortable about their convictions and their ideas, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:59.440 and instead made them into brittle citizens who required trigger 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:04.360 warnings if they dare be exposed to an idea or 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:09.680 a thought that they disagree with. These young men and 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:15.240 women are unprepared for real life. They are burdened by 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:20.119 debt forced on them by a greedy system, and they 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:26.120 have had foisted upon them an ideology that is evil 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:32.280 at its core. When you see the twisted and contorted 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:38.560 young American faces screaming from the river to the sea 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:43.640 calling for the genocide of the Jewish people and the 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:48.880 eradication of the state of Israel within a living lifetime 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.680 of the liberation of the death camps, you know that 0:03:53.800 --> 0:04:00.000 something has got horribly off the rails. What has had 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:06.040 happened is our citizens, who are the most vulnerable. Our 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:12.680 young men and women have been programmed by ideologists in 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:18.560 a rigid dogmatism that holds that the call for the 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:25.040 destruction of the Jews is not violative of campus policy. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.680 At a place where wearing the wrong T shirt is 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:37.440 grounds for expulsion, a brittle land where all are safe 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:43.480 except the jew It's unacceptable in twenty first century America, 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:51.800 and it demonstrates profoundly how corrupted, how broken our elite 0:04:51.920 --> 0:05:00.240 institutions have become. They are swimming in foreign money, have 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:06.000 become utterly hostile to the concepts of Americanism, to the 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:16.159 concepts of tolerance, freedom of speech, pluralism, and academic liberty. 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:22.640 These are cloistered societies where there is no room for dissent. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:29.680 They are authoritarian madhouses. And when they were shown to 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:34.640 be such in front of the American people, the American 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:40.599 people were revulsed, as they rightly should be, by the 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:48.400 decadence and collapse of intellectual decency at the hands of 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:52.680 some of the most privileged people in the country, who 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:59.680 have guided their institutions, Harvard, MIT and the University of 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:06.240 Pennsylvania into a moral abyss. It isn't just a tragedy 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:11.920 for those institutions, but the whole of the country, because 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:18.080 the strength of the country were our elite universities, who 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:24.240 produced our great scientists and leaders and thinkers and humanitarians. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:31.960 Now they produce fraudsters and egotists and extremists who want 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:36.360 to see the Jewish people exterminated, who wanted to see 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:43.040 Israel obliterated, and who cheer from the comfort of campuses 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.919 where their educations cost one hundred thousand dollars a year. 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:53.640 The rape of Jewish women, the mutilation of Jewish children, 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:59.680 and the shooting of both in their genitals. Let us 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.839 on your stand the full weight in dimensions of the 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:09.160 sickness of the disease that has been set loose into 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:15.800 American culture and society by the elite universities. What it 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:22.680 has wrought is chaos and distrust extremism. And in the 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:31.280 United States, the answer to far left radical extremists is 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:37.800 an insurgent, incipient fascist movement that stands at the edge 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:43.760 of gaining power, promising order in the name of patriotism, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:49.880 promising control in the name of Trump. It's important to 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:55.320 understand that Donald Trump has no greater friends and his 0:07:55.480 --> 0:08:00.320 conspiracy to take power than the young person chanting from 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.880 the river to the sea, or the San Francisco prosecutor 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:10.280 who refuses to follow the law and to prosecute criminals, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.880 or anyone of a number of other far left progressives 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:23.280 who don't understand that it is intolerable, it is immoral, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:29.160 and it is deeply wrong to cloak yourself in the 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:35.560 colors of terror and support Hamas in the name of 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:43.480 their murderous barbarism. On October seventh. These universities were once 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:50.120 worthy of all of our deepest admiration. They were respected, 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:56.720 But today they have earned the contempt and the disdain 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:01.040 of the American people, and no people within them more 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:11.080 so then they're feted, rancid immral leaders, stewed steeped in 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:16.920 their anti Semitism.
