We live in a time where trust has collapsed between the American people and very nearly every institution you can think to imagine, the Boy Scouts, the Catholic Church, political parties, the American government. Everywhere you look, there is wrongdoing, fraud, malfeasance. Some of the most important institutions in the country have

long been considered to be the most important academic institutions. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, the University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, the University of Chicago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, University of California at Berkeley. These names are famous around the world as centers of learning, institutions that made the country strong. John Kennedy talked about this at one of his last major speeches at Amherst in the fall of

nineteen sixty three, while honoring the poet Robert Frost. What President Kennedy said, What purpose is therefore, a university in an American society if not for there to be a great national purpose attached to it? These great institutions of learning that gave so much to the country have been hijacked over the last generation, and the testimony before Congress of the Presidents of the University of Pennsylvania at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is evidence of the

fruits of that hijacking. It was an ideological hijacking that became dogmatic and intolerant and nasty. Over the course of a generation, America's elite universities stopped teaching, stopped challenging, stopped making young people uncomfortable about their convictions and their ideas, and instead made them into brittle citizens who required trigger warnings if they dare be exposed to an idea or a thought that they disagree with. These young men and

women are unprepared for real life. They are burdened by debt forced on them by a greedy system, and they have had foisted upon them an ideology that is evil at its core. When you see the twisted and contorted young American faces screaming from the river to the sea calling for the genocide of the Jewish people and the eradication of the state of Israel within a living lifetime of the liberation of the death camps, you know that something has got horribly off the rails. What has had

happened is our citizens, who are the most vulnerable. Our young men and women have been programmed by ideologists in a rigid dogmatism that holds that the call for the destruction of the Jews is not violative of campus policy. At a place where wearing the wrong T shirt is grounds for expulsion, a brittle land where all are safe except the jew It's unacceptable in twenty first century America, and it demonstrates profoundly how corrupted, how broken our elite

institutions have become. They are swimming in foreign money, have become utterly hostile to the concepts of Americanism, to the concepts of tolerance, freedom of speech, pluralism, and academic liberty. These are cloistered societies where there is no room for dissent.

They are authoritarian madhouses. And when they were shown to be such in front of the American people, the American people were revulsed, as they rightly should be, by the decadence and collapse of intellectual decency at the hands of some of the most privileged people in the country, who have guided their institutions, Harvard, MIT and the University of

Pennsylvania into a moral abyss. It isn't just a tragedy for those institutions, but the whole of the country, because the strength of the country were our elite universities, who produced our great scientists and leaders and thinkers and humanitarians.

Now they produce fraudsters and egotists and extremists who want to see the Jewish people exterminated, who wanted to see Israel obliterated, and who cheer from the comfort of campuses where their educations cost one hundred thousand dollars a year. The rape of Jewish women, the mutilation of Jewish children, and the shooting of both in their genitals. Let us on your stand the full weight in dimensions of the sickness of the disease that has been set loose into

American culture and society by the elite universities. What it has wrought is chaos and distrust extremism. And in the United States, the answer to far left radical extremists is an insurgent, incipient fascist movement that stands at the edge of gaining power, promising order in the name of patriotism,

promising control in the name of Trump. It's important to understand that Donald Trump has no greater friends and his conspiracy to take power than the young person chanting from the river to the sea, or the San Francisco prosecutor who refuses to follow the law and to prosecute criminals, or anyone of a number of other far left progressives who don't understand that it is intolerable, it is immoral, and it is deeply wrong to cloak yourself in the

colors of terror and support Hamas in the name of their murderous barbarism. On October seventh. These universities were once worthy of all of our deepest admiration. They were respected, But today they have earned the contempt and the disdain of the American people, and no people within them more so then they're feted, rancid immral leaders, stewed steeped in their anti Semitism. What a disgrace. Thank you for watching. Make sure you subscribe to our channel so you never
