I'll have those details that'll make you 31 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 4: smile in just a second. And finally, President Trump, yet 32 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 4: again proving he wasn't joking when he said he was 33 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 4: going to be looking at where your tax dollars are going. 34 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 4: This time, he says it's time to cut off the 35 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 4: funding to Harvard, and Harvard is now fighting back. We'll 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 4: have that and how much money it could save you 37 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 4: in just a second. But first, before we get to 38 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 4: those stories, I want to tell you about the International 39 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 4: Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and we are seeing something 40 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 4: truly disturbing. Anti Semitism is on the rise, not only 41 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 4: around the world, but sadly right here in America. Jewish 42 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 4: schools are being targeted, synagogues are being threatened, and families 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 4: living in fear is a real thing in the Jewish community. 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 4: It's something we hoped we'd never see again in our lifetime, 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 4: but unfortunately, it's what's happening right now. And that's why 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 4: it's not an option to be silent. It's a time 47 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: for us to take a stand. And that's why I 48 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 4: want you to stand with the International Fellowship of Christians 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 4: and Jews. They're on the front lines providing real help 50 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 4: where it's needed the most. They're literally giving food and 51 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 4: shelter to Jewish families under threat. They're building bomb shelters 52 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 4: for children and helping survivors of hate rebuild their lives. 53 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 4: And they don't just respond to crisis, they work every 54 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 4: day to prevent it from happening. And that is where 55 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: your simple gift of only forty five dollars will help 56 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 4: support life saving work by helping provide food, shelter, and 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 4: so much more. The Bible is pretty clear, it says 58 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 4: I will bless those who bless you, and supporting the 59 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 4: IFCJ is a spiritual stand and it's showing up for 60 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 4: God's people when it counts.

Kenny Junior did yesterday, 74 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: announcing the removal of routine COVID nineteen vaccination recommendations four 75 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 4: number one healthy children and number two pregnant women from 76 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: the CDC's immunization schedule. Now, to be clear, he didn't 77 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 4: ban the COVID vaccine or booster. He didn't ban any 78 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: other vaccines either, But the left is saying that is 79 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: exactly what he decided to do. 80 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: Take a listen to rfk Junior in his own words. 81 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 5: Hi, everybody, I'm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Your age age 82 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 5: as the Secretary, and I'm here today with NIH Director 83 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 5: doctor J. Bodicharia and FDA Commissioner doctor Marty McCarey. I 84 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 5: couldn't be more pleased to announce that, as of today, 85 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 5: the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women 86 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 5: has been removed from the CDC Recommended immunization schedule. Last year, 87 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 5: the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another 88 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 5: COVID shot, despite the lack of any political data to 89 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 5: support the repeat booster strategy in children. 90 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: That ends today. It's common sense, that's good science. 91 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 6: There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most 92 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 6: countries have stopped recommending it for children. 93 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 5: We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise 94 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 5: to make America healthy again. 95 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: Make America healthy again. That was the promise of Donald Trump. 96 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 4: Now let's be clear also about the facts. In this announcement. 97 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 4: The US is now joining several other nations in tailoring 98 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 4: COVID nineteen vaccination strategies to prioritize high risk groups, potentially 99 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 4: streamlining public health efforts. There's also an emphasis on data 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 4: driven decisions. The FDA commissioner there you heard, highlight the 101 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 4: lack of evidence supporting the need for routine COVID nineteen 102 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 4: vaccinations in healthy children, suggesting a move towards more evidence 103 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 4: based recommendations, and they also talked about resource optimization. By 104 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: concentrating vaccination resources on populations most at risk, such as 105 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 4: older adults and individuals with underlying health conditions, the health 106 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 4: care system may enhance its efficiency and effectiveness in combating 107 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: COVID nineteen. Also because of this move and finally, increasing 108 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: public autonomy, the policy change will empower individuals as well 109 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: as families to make personalized health decisions regarding COVID nineteen 110 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 4: vaccinations moving forward. The administration says this will foster a 111 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 4: sense of autonomy and trust in public health directives again 112 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 4: after so many Americans lost faith in the system completely, 113 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 4: especially with the mandates and the lack of the effectiveness 114 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: of the COVID nineteen vaccine schedule. Our FK Junior make 115 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 4: it clear this is part of Donald Trump's plan to 116 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 4: make a mayor Ceria healthy again. 117 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 3: Next story number two. 118 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's approval rating is now maintaining a two month high. Yes, 119 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 4: the media has done everything they can to bring down 120 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's approval rating, but it doesn't seem to be working, 121 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 4: as the American people seem to be listening to the 122 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 4: media like it as white noise. And on Tuesday, the 123 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 4: economists and UGUB published their determination of President Donald Trump's 124 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 4: approval rating outlining then among US adults between May the 125 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 4: twenty third and twenty six, forty four percent approved of 126 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 4: the job that Donald Trump is doing as president. And 127 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 4: then if you look at Newsweek, the results from the 128 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 4: publication reflected also a two month high for its polling. 129 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 4: Rasmussen also as Trump at fifty to fifty one percent 130 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: approval rating firm the Memorial Day weekend. The approval rating 131 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 4: is inching up because the economy has stabilized and Trump 132 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 4: has put a pause on his most draconian tariffs which 133 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 4: were unpopular. That is what Dular University professor Robert Collins 134 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 4: said in a backhanded compliment to Newsweek about Donald Trump. 135 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: You can't make it up. Even when his approval. 136 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 4: Rating is up, they still got to figure out a 137 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 4: way to bring him down. So what does this mean 138 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: for the White House moving forward? Well, the White House 139 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 4: Press Secretary went on Sean Hannity's show on Fox News 140 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 4: Channel and had this to say about the present's approval 141 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 4: rating and what he's going to do when it comes 142 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 4: to moving forward running the country, and also looking back 143 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 4: at things that happened during the Biden administration and asking 144 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 4: basic questions like who is actually running the government because 145 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 4: it wasn't Joe Biden. 146 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: Well, that rasped me some pole. 147 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 7: You refer to the percentage of Americans who say the 148 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 7: country's on the right track is the highest number that 149 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 7: they have surveyed in their twenty nine year polling history, 150 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 7: which I found significant. Let me ask you about the 151 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 7: TRUMPBI reopening investigations into the Supreme Court abortion decision leak, 152 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 7: the Biden White House cocaine scandal that lasted a whopping 153 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 7: what ten days, and the January sixth pipe bomber mystery. 154 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 7: It seems like the administration is going back and getting 155 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 7: to the bottom of some unfinished business. 156 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 8: Yes, all of those announcements coming from the FBI cash Ptel, 157 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 8: and of course our great Attorney General Pam Bondi, who 158 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 8: is committed to the truth sean, just like the President 159 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 8: Trump and his entire administration, and committed to an unprecedented 160 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 8: level of access and transparency that is led by President 161 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 8: Trump at the White House. Every day he takes questions 162 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 8: from the press. He talks directly and honestly and candidly 163 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 8: about the problems and the challenges he is solving, not 164 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 8: just here at home but also abroad, and he's demanding answers. 165 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 8: And one of the things he is going to continue 166 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 8: to push for answers on is who the heck was 167 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 8: running the country. 168 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 3: Over the past four years. 169 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 8: And you just talked about it in your monologue, and 170 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 8: I'm glad to hear it, because this is truly the 171 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 8: great latest political scandal our country has ever seen. We 172 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 8: had unelected radical left White House staffers who nobody knew 173 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 8: their names, running the most powerful country in the history 174 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 8: of the world, and the Democrat Party was in a 175 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 8: complete alliance to cover it up, and the mainstream media 176 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 8: was right along with them. They were asking Joe Biden 177 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 8: what his favorite ice cream was rather than asking him 178 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 8: whether or not he was suited to run the country. 179 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 8: And so we need answers on what took place over 180 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 8: the past four years, because look at the consequences of 181 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 8: having these unelected radical left wing saffers in the West 182 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 8: wing running the country. We had a wide open border 183 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 8: invasion that this administration is cleaning up every day despite 184 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 8: challenges from the courts. We had an economy that was 185 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 8: left in the dust. 186 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 4: You just heard the White House Press Secretary say Donald 187 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: Trump is going to push for answers on who is 188 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 4: running the country during Biden's presidency. Now, all of this 189 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: relates back to the numerous books that are now coming out, 190 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 4: including the original Sin and the book by Jake Tapper 191 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 4: that alleges that President Biden's cognitive decline was concealed by 192 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 4: his inner circle, suggesting that a group of top aides 193 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 4: effectively manage the administration's day to day operations. Another way 194 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 4: of putting that is they were running the country and 195 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 4: they were elected by no one. Tapper even compared this 196 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 4: alleged cover up to the Watergate scandal, emphasizing the seriousness 197 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 4: of the claims. Now, further reports are also indicating during 198 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 4: Biden's presidency there were five at senior aids that were 199 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 4: primarily responsible for a significant amount of decision making, with 200 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 4: Biden serving more as a figurehead than anything else. Now, 201 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: these revelations have spark discussions about transparency and accountability within 202 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 4: the previous administration of exactly who was really the acting president. Now, 203 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 4: while these accounts have led to public debate and scrutiny, 204 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 4: this is the first time we're hearing the White House 205 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 4: say that they're going to push for answers. Now, is 206 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 4: there a formal investigation by the Trump administration into these matters. 207 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 4: At the moment, no, but this certainly could lead to one, 208 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 4: as the White House is now signaling that the American 209 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 4: people deserve to have answers and most importantly need to 210 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 4: know and should know who was running the country. There's 211 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 4: also the question of the auto pen and many of 212 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 4: the pardons that were given out by Joe Biden. Did 213 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 4: he even know that it was happening? 214 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: Did he have. 215 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 4: Any clue at all what was going on? And we 216 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 4: also know that many around Biden that were propping him up, 217 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 4: we're apparently doing it just for the money. 218 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 3: That's right. 219 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 4: Many of the key advisors around Joe Biden's campaign were 220 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 4: making millions of dollars. They didn't want him to end 221 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 4: the campaign. They wanted him to keep running so they 222 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 4: could keep getting paid. So there were some people that 223 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 4: were just making cash. There were others that were getting 224 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 4: to literally play pressident. And what does Kamway Harris have 225 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 4: to say about all this, Well, she had another word 226 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 4: salad and decided to take some swipes at Elon Musk 227 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 4: and Donald Trump, saying, remember the nineteen thirties, in reference 228 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 4: to Nazi Germany, and Adolf Hitler. 229 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 3: I wish I was joking. Here she is in her 230 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 3: own words. 231 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 9: I do worry, frankly about what's happening right now in 232 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 9: our world. I do worry that it is important that 233 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 9: we remember history. 234 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 10: It's important we remember the nineteen thirties. It's important that 235 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 10: we remember that history has taught us that isolation does 236 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 10: not equal insolation. It is important that we understand and 237 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 10: remember history, which taught us the interdependence and interconnection between nations, 238 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 10: history that has taught us the important relationships of trust. 239 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 4: So the same woman that helped cover up the massive 240 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 4: cognitive decline of the President of the United States of America, 241 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 4: Joe Biden, the same woman that was elected by no one, 242 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 4: who ended up being the party's nominee that no one 243 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 4: actually voted for, is now saying don't look at what 244 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 4: we were doing. 245 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: No, no, no, We're going to. 246 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 4: Tell you that Donald Trump's administration is no different than 247 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 4: Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. 248 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 3: You remember the nineteen thirties. 249 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 4: It is truly amazing to watch the Left do everything 250 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 4: they can to cover up their corruption at the White 251 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: House for the last four years. 252 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: And finally, story number three It's. 253 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: A pretty simple idea. 254 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 4: If you hate the United States of America, why should 255 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: we let you come to America's universities, especially if you're 256 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 4: advocating for violence against Jewish students or even a American students. Well, 257 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 4: the Trump administration has now intensified its actions against Harvard 258 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 4: University by directing federal agencies to cancel or redirect contracts 259 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 4: worth approximately one hundred million dollars now. This move follows 260 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: earlier measures, including the freezing of over two point six 261 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 4: billion in federal research grants citing concerns over the university's 262 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:31,239 Speaker 4: policies and campus climate. Now, the aspects of the policy 263 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 4: change are actually very simple. The reallocation of resources is 264 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 4: number one. The administration's decision aims to redirect substantial federal 265 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 4: funds to institutions that align more closely with its policy objectives, 266 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 4: potentially benefiting trade schools and other educational entities. They also 267 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 4: say there's an emphasis on accountability. By scrutinizing Harvard's use 268 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 4: of federal funds, the administration underscores the importance of account 269 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 4: of ability and also adherence to national standards and higher 270 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 4: education institutions, and then the promotion of diverse educational opportunities. 271 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 4: The potential redistribution of funds, the White House say, may 272 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 4: enhance vocational and technological training programs, offering countless students alternative 273 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 4: pathways to successful careers without the traditional university route and 274 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 4: or going to an. 275 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 3: Ivy League school. 276 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 4: There's also the encouragement of institutional self reliance. The funding 277 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 4: cuts may prompt elite universities, they say, to seek greater 278 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 4: financial independence, foster innovation efficiency, and management resources. Now, these 279 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 4: actions are sparking legal challenges as the universities are angry 280 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 4: over what's happening. But at the end of the day, 281 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 4: the White House also says this comes down to another issue, 282 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 4: and that is, are we actually encouraging students from around 283 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 4: the world to come to the US that love America 284 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 4: and do it want to be a part of the process, 285 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 4: or are tax dollars going to students that actually hate America? 286 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 4: And that brings up the State Department pausing visa interviews 287 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: as Trump moves to cancel Harvard's last federal contracts. Here's 288 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 4: more of that story as CNN freaked out over it news. 289 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 6: And a major escalation in the Trump administration's fights against 290 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 6: America's universities, the State Department pausing all new student visa 291 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 6: application interviews, and while that pause is in place, the 292 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 6: government is developing new guidance for social media screenings of 293 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 6: foreign students who want to study in the US. This 294 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 6: cause to the White House moves to cancel all remaining 295 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 6: federal contracts with Harvard. Two senior administration officials Telsenn that 296 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 6: those contracts are worth about one hundred million dollars. This 297 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 6: on top of more than two billion dollars in grants 298 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 6: that the administration froze last month, and on Monday, the 299 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 6: President threatened to give that money to trade schools. Here's 300 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 6: Harvard's president in an interview that was taped before news 301 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 6: broke about those latest contract cancelations. 302 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 11: I don't know fully what the motivations are, but I 303 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 11: do know that there are people who are fighting a 304 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 11: cultural battle. I don't know if that is what is 305 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 11: driving the administration. They don't like what's happened to campuses, 306 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 11: and sometimes they don't like what we represent. 307 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 4: The Harvard president right there, going on MPR, which the 308 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 4: President's also trying to defund, complaining about the motives of 309 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 4: the Trump administration. 310 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 3: You can't make it up. 311 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 4: Donald Trump doesn't care, by the way, and he's moving 312 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 4: forward with protecting America's interests and your tax dours. 313 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 314 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
