A large portion of Columbia's students are international and pay full tuition, which brings up a couple of questions. Why are American taxpayers funding the education of non-Americans, especially after reports of significant federal grant reductions? Also, what is the real direction of our cultural exchange? Harvard recently froze hiring, which is interesting considering where federal grants are usually allocated. The professors who are most vocal in supporting protests and opposing the administration are not the ones who will be affected by Trump pulling grant funding. This could create internal conflict within universities between researchers who just want to focus on their work and those who are willing to fight the administration.

The speaker expresses concern over the CCP's infiltration and funding of woke culture in US colleges and universities. They question the students' support for Hamas during pro-Palestinian rallies, despite Hamas' violent actions. Speaker 1 mentions that Harvard and other universities have provided exclusive training to CCP officials, suggesting that colleges and universities have been invaded by the CCP's ideology. They express sympathy for parents who worked hard to send their children to college, only to see them develop hatred towards the country and its people.

American universities, once admired for their excellence, have lost public trust due to their shift towards pushing political agendas. This has resulted in a decline in the importance of a college degree and a decrease in the number of high school graduates pursuing higher education. Universities have prioritized political and social engineering over academic merit, as seen in the downplaying of merit-based admissions in favor of racial quotas. The humanities have experienced grade inflation and the emergence of political agendas as academic fields. Lack of political diversity is ignored, hindering the ability to analyze various issues. The culture of diversity has given rise to safe spaces, trigger warnings, and speech codes that limit free expression. Recent protests have highlighted the inconsistency in protecting certain groups. Universities must refocus on their core strengths of research and learning to regain their reputation as centers of excellence.

Harvard has about 31% foreign students, which is too much because Americans want to attend. The speaker wants to know who these students are. No foreign government contributes money to Harvard, but the US does. The speaker wants a list of the foreign students to determine if they are "okay," assuming many will be. The speaker also claims Harvard is anti-Semitic and that this must stop immediately.

Tuition costs at colleges and universities have skyrocketed while the education system has been influenced by the radical left. To reclaim our educational institutions, the college accreditation system needs a major overhaul. The current accreditors have failed to prevent schools from being dominated by Marxists and extremists. When I return to the White House, I will replace these accreditors with new ones who will enforce real standards. These standards will include defending American traditions, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions, removing Marxist diversity and inclusion bureaucrats, offering affordable degrees, providing job placement services, and implementing entrance and exit exams. Schools that engage in racial discrimination will face federal civil rights cases and potential taxation of their endowments. We will restore real education in America.

The speaker claims the rise of certain issues in localities nationwide originates with the unelected US Department of Education. This department allegedly uses its $83 billion budget to pressure schools into adopting "toxic ideologies" by threatening to withhold federal funding. The speaker states they are the first US presidential candidate to propose abolishing the Department of Education. They argue that 25% of the department's budget could fund three armed security guards in every school across the nation, which they present as a superior use of funds.

Speaker 0 questions the idea of hundreds of thousands of foreign students in the United States, noting about 350,000 Chinese students, referencing COVID-era removal of Chinese students, and asks why it would be a pro-MAGA position when American kids want to go to school and universities are getting rich off Chinese money, with a claim that as many as 600,000 Chinese students could come to the United States. Speaker 1 responds that he never said about China, but acknowledges many people come in from China and from other countries, and that the United States has a massive system of colleges and universities. He says if we were to cut that in half, which perhaps makes some people happy, “you would have half the colleges in The United States go out of business.” He asks, “For what?” and answers that it would decimate a historic system of colleges. Speaker 0 asks “Are they fancy?” and Speaker 1 reiterates the potential collapse, noting, “you would have, as you know, historically, black colleges and universities would all be out of business.” He suggests a system of colleges and universities would be kept afloat “by China to keep our university system going.” Speaker 1 expresses that he thinks it’s good to have outside countries involved, and says, “Look. I wanna be able to get along with the world.” Speaker 0 asserts “They’re not the French. They’re the Chinese. They spy on us. They steal our intellectual property.” Speaker 1 responds with a provocative aside about the French and a contrast on taxes, saying, “We’ve had a lot of problems with the French where we get taxed very unfairly on our technology where, you know, they put 25% taxes on American products.” He pretends to adopt a combative stance toward everyone’s treatment of the United States, stating, “Assuming everyone treats us badly, because that’s the way I am, but we take in trillions of dollars from students. You know, the students pay more than double, when they come in from most foreign countries.” Speaker 1 emphasizes a desire for the United States to see its school system thrive while acknowledging disagreement with Speaker 0, but says it’s not about destroying the system and not about cutting half of the people or half of the students from all over the world who are coming into the country, and warns against destroying the entire university and college system. Speaker 1 adds that MAGA was his idea and that MAGA wants to see the country thrive, reiterating his alignment with MAGA. He also mentions not wanting wars and that if a war occurred, it would be fast and violent, while contrasting that with a preference to avoid war and to maintain positive relations with other countries where possible.

The speaker states they have been researching bioweapons for two and a half years. They claim the US has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into developing ethnically targeted microbes, and that China has done the same. The speaker suggests COVID-19 may be ethnically targeted, noting it disproportionately attacks certain races. They state that Caucasians and Black people are more susceptible, while Chinese people are more immune due to genetic differences in ACE2 receptors. The speaker says it is unknown if this was deliberate. The speaker asserts that China and the US are developing ethnic bioweapons, and that US labs in Ukraine are collecting Russian and Chinese DNA for targeting purposes.

Universities are reportedly violating the Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action, specifically racial quotas and set-asides, by not admitting students on a color-blind basis. Evidence suggests that university systems, especially medical schools, are engaging in race-based discrimination to evade the Supreme Court's ruling and federal statutes. Universities are now on notice and facing financial consequences for non-compliance. Harvard is cited as a clear example of repeat, systemic, and sustained violations of federal civil rights law.

The speaker expresses concern over the CCP's infiltration and funding of woke culture in US colleges and universities. They question the students' support for Hamas during pro-Palestinian rallies, despite Hamas' violent actions. Speaker 1 mentions that Harvard and other universities have provided exclusive training to CCP officials, and believes that all colleges and universities have been invaded by the CCP's ideology. They express sympathy for parents who worked hard to send their children to college, only to see them develop hatred towards their own country and its people.

Universities are in direct violation of the Supreme Court's ruling that racial quotas and set asides are illegal, and students must be admitted on a color-blind basis. Evidence shows the university system, particularly medical schools, are engaging in race-based discrimination, racial set asides, racial quota schemes, and efforts to evade the Supreme Court's ruling and federal statute. Universities are on notice and facing financial consequences for non-compliance. Harvard is cited as a clear example of repeat, systemic, and sustained violations of federal civil rights law.

Public schools are being influenced by the radical left, and I have a plan to save American education. First, we will cut federal funding for schools promoting critical race theory, gender ideology, or inappropriate content. We will investigate any school district engaging in race-based discrimination, including against Asian Americans. The Marxism taught in schools is hostile to Judeo-Christian teachings, so we will pursue violations of the establishment and free exercise clauses. We will remove radical individuals from the Federal Department of Education. We will veto efforts to weaponize civics education and ensure fairness in women's sports. We will create a new credentialing body for patriotic teachers and implement reforms like abolishing teacher tenure, reducing school administrators, and giving parents more control over curriculum and school principals. We will prioritize high-quality education for our children.

The speaker asks why Ivy League schools receive so much federal funding. Speaker 1 responds that the president has raised this question in discussions with Harvard, Columbia, and other Ivy League institutions. The president created an antisemitism task force with representatives from federal agencies who meet weekly to discuss this issue. Speaker 1 states that many Americans wonder why their tax dollars go to universities that are allegedly indoctrinating students and allowing egregious illegal behavior.

A politician seeking the youth vote should suspend all visas until college graduates can find jobs, as these graduates are entering the worst job market in American history and should be prioritized over foreign nationals. The speaker advocates for a total moratorium on all visas until pre-pandemic unemployment levels are reached, followed by passing the Raise Act, which cuts visas dramatically. Politicians should represent the interests of the 24,000,000 college students suffering under the cost of college, especially since these students lack lobbyists and are not getting refunds from their colleges. The speaker claims the ruling class does not care about this generation.

The Civil Rights Division is enforcing federal discrimination and civil rights laws for all Americans with a color-blind approach. Title IX aims to give women equal access to educational and sports opportunities. The Department of Justice (DOJ) got involved after California refused to mediate with the Department of Education regarding Title IX. Orange County had credible information about non-citizens on voter rolls. The DOJ sent letters to Harvard University asking them to confirm compliance with Students for Fair Admissions. If Harvard does not promptly improve conditions for students, they will face economic and legal trouble. The speaker believes the United States is the greatest country.

A bill was filed to deny student visas to Chinese students due to a new Chinese law requiring all nationals, including students abroad, to gather intelligence and report back. The speaker questions why a law preventing student visas wouldn't be passed, citing past instances of Chinese students gathering information on military bases and college campuses. The speaker emphasizes the responsibility of lawmakers and policymakers to address this issue.

The speaker claims research funding has not been cut, but indirect funding to institutions has been targeted. According to the speaker, the administration wants to cut indirect funding, meaning more money goes to researchers. The speaker says the guidance from Bobby Kennedy and the Trump administration empowers frontline researchers and disempowers government bureaucrats. The speaker states that more money will flow to researchers, not university or government bureaucrats, and no services have been cut. The speaker says there's an attack on bureaucracy, citing Harvard getting $0.70 on the dollar for bureaucracy, not research. Cutting indirect costs gets more money to researchers. The speaker claims the administration is focused on empowering researchers, getting money to scientists, and asking them to do bold research on why people are getting sick.

Universities are allegedly indebted to foreign students, particularly 300,000 from China and 250,000 from the Middle East who pay full tuition, and are also influenced by billions in endowments from Mideast chiefdoms and China. These funds can endow professorships and create influential departments. The National Institute of Health is allegedly aware of universities overcharging on individual grants, and Congress is purportedly aware of their non-partisanship and is considering taxing endowment income. The administration claims universities are not defending civil rights and may cut grants for violating freedom of speech and civil rights statutes by giving preferences based on race, gender, and sexual orientation. Universities are allegedly violating the Constitution and should expect a backlash from the federal government. The government may tax endowments, allow universities to guarantee their own loans, cut surcharges on individual grants, and sue to open admissions policies. Columbia and Princeton are specifically advised to protect the civil rights of all students or face consequences.

Some colleges with huge endowments should not rely on government funding. If they want federal money, they must prioritize students' civil rights. College leaders who fail to do so should be replaced by trustees for the good of the institution.

Tuition costs at colleges and universities have skyrocketed while the education system has been influenced by the radical left. To reclaim our educational institutions, the college accreditation system needs a major overhaul. The current accreditors have failed to prevent schools from being dominated by Marxists and extremists. When I'm back in the White House, I will fire these left-leaning accreditors and replace them with new ones who will enforce real standards. These standards will include defending American traditions, protecting free speech, reducing administrative costs, removing diversity and inclusion bureaucrats, offering affordable degrees, providing job placement services, and implementing exams to ensure students are learning. Schools engaging in racial discrimination will face federal civil rights cases and potential financial penalties. We need to eliminate this anti-American insanity from our colleges and prioritize real education.
