00:00It is a big fiction and it's a damning indictment on the mainstream media that they have concocted this narrative whereby we can only defend Jewish students or we can only defend speech when the two are not in conflict with each other at all.
00:12And if you're so concerned about speech, then I would actually encourage you to look at the letter that the federal anti-Semitism task force in the Trump administration put out and released at Harvard.
00:22And it said you have to have viewpoint diversity because right now a Harvard Crimson study found that 97 percent of the Harvard faculty identifies liberal.
00:30And I'm sort of a liberal, but I know that that's really not good for higher education when all the professors think one way.
00:35If you look at the anti-Semitism task force letter, they say that you can only have merit based admissions criteria as opposed to asking people their sexual orientation, their racial identity, their socioeconomic background.
00:45The letter also says you have to ban masks because protesters continuously say wear a mask so you can't be held accountable for your actions.
00:52These are basic reforms. And again, if any institution don't want to do these reforms, that is their prerogative.
00:57They don't have to do them. All it means is that the federal government won't be subsidizing them.
01:02And again, I don't understand why this suddenly became controversial, because we're talking about corporations and elitist institutions with billions and billions of dollars.
