Speaker 1 (00:00):
Harvard reportedly willing to surrender in war with Trump admin.
Even if it costs a half a billion dollars. Rab
I think you got a video on this one, if
you want to pull it up to go to it.
This is an interesting story, Rob, Is this him talking
about it? Yes, sir, Okay, go for it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Harvard is reportedly willing to settle with you for five
hundred million.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Five hundred million.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Dollars is nine and half.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
It's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It's a lot of money when negotiating with Arvard now
they would like to settle, So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Okay, that's a pretty fast answer. But let me read
the one sentence here. Negotiations are ongoing with Harvard reluctant
to pay the federal government directly, and the potential deal
may include a settlement in the current court dispute over
funding cuts exceeding two billion dollars. And I keep in
my Columbia University already pay twenty million dollars. There's a
(00:54):
couple other schools. Brown I think is going through a
fifty million dollars deal with administration. UCLA settle for only
six point one three million dollars, but Harvard half a billion, Tommy,
what do you think?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Why do you think?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Not about the money, first of all, And we would
not be in this situation at all if you could
just protect your Jewish students. It's really not that hard.
And they fought tooth and nail under a former president,
President auto Pen. I don't think that they felt the pressure.
In the heat president Trump comes into office, he says,
I'm not going to deal with this anymore. I'm gonna
hold your feet to the fire. It's not about the money,
(01:29):
it's not about the settlement. It's about the message that
this sends to the Ivy League schools. You will not
be allowed to bully and harass Jewish students. They will
not be kept from their classes that they're paying for.
They will not be intimidated. Not about the money, it's
about the message. But I think the fact that President
Trump has held strong on this it's pretty incredible because
(01:50):
they keep calling this man Hitler in a Nazi. But
I can't think of many other world leaders that have
stood up for Jewish students and Jewish people quite like
this current president.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I mean the part the question I got is why
is Harvard half Columbia two hundred, Brown fifty and the
UCLA six point one. It's almost as if UCLA is
being seen like, dude, you're a nobody, just a six
point one? Or were they easier to deal with Tom?
What do you know about the story.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Well, UCLA's suit came from a group that didn't get
federal support, so this was an end I believe that's correct.
This is an independent group that came and said, hey,
you know this this anti Zionist stuff and the things
you were doing on here with a sudden and so
UCLA is making a fast settlement with an independent group. Now,
(02:36):
if that settlement gets the attention of the White House,
which I imagine it would, there could be a federal
round to this fight.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
But that's what's going on with UCLA.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
But you know what's really interesting about this. There are
seven thousand undergrad students at Harvard. I think it's seven
and eighty nine and number one, number two. The tuition
Harvard's about eighty six thousand dollars all in, you know,
dorm twistion in the whole bit. But with the financial
aid that goes out there comes out to fifty five
(03:08):
thousand a student. What is seven thousand students times fifty
five thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
To five million dollars. I got, Vinny, that's Corral Health.
So they could have taken they could have taken.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
The five hundred million dollars and just told all their students,
guess what, we're sorry about what happened.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Nobody pays tuition this year. So it is about the message.
I agree with Tommy. It is not about the money.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
But we need to take a look at what really
the scope of money also is here. It's also the
public embarrassment because to the average person, holy crap, half
a billion dollars. They don't know that Harvard's got I
got fifty three billion dollar endowment right now. I think
it's crossed over fifty three. The average person doesn't know that.
But the headline is Trump beat Harvard, Harvard paid up,
(03:57):
and that is I think the strong message here that
just like the trade, one at a time, he's getting them,
and now the IVY League, one at a time, he's
getting them.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Rob. Can you find that in Tommy, I want to
come to Rob. Can you find out what the endowment
is for UCLA, Harvard Columbia and what it is for Brown?
Go ahead, Tommy, you.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Wanted to say something, Yeah, I do, because I think
not only is this a message being sent, I think
the message for young especially young Jewish students and their family,
this is also an incredibly strong message. A settlement's great,
and acknowledgment is great. But I'll tell you a lot
of these young Jewish students they're not going to the
IVY League in the Northeast anymore. I'll tell you where
(04:38):
they're going. They're going to Tennessee, They're going to Alabama,
They're going to Mississippi, they're going to Florida, They're going
to SEC schools and some others because they don't want
to be harassed, and they want to go to school,
and they don't want to have protests on their campus.
They don't want another encampment. When these nerds are too
socially awkward and unaware to actually enjoy college. They'd rather
(04:59):
be up protesting and waving Hamas flags. They want to
go to Alabama, they want to rush a fraternity or
a sorority. They want to have a college experience. So
it's going to take a lot more from Harvard and
the rest of these IVY leagues than just a settlement
or even just an apology. They're going to have to
change the culture on campus because you're going to see
people flee into better schools with more attractive people, with
(05:20):
a better college experience, and that happens in the South.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I want to go back to college now.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Yes we are, and I'll tell you what we're seeing
it and help me out. I'm pulling something out out
of the hard drive here with Alabama, there was a
protest that was happening on campus in Alabama. But the
crowd of basically fraternity brothers Carolina North North Carolina, Yeah,
where they came out there and the.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Crowd ac sec it's no big The.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Crowd of students that didn't want any of this crap
was quickly larger than the protesters, and the campus police
formed a line that was basically preventing the students from
forcing physical response to the protest. And the campus police said, hey,
your permit to demonstrate is over at sunset, which is
(06:08):
seven o'clock, and we're off shifting going home. I think
you should pack up and go because if we leave
and you're still here, this rowdy group that's also drinking
beers over there, they're going to kick your ass and
the protesters, and I believe I'm getting the essence of
the story strade am I not partly.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And then also you've got these frat brothers who are
not going to let that American flag touch the ground.
When you have these feral Hamas supporters that are trying
to rip down the American.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Flag, yeah, they were the flag defenders.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It was genierate our country and denigrate Israel. And you've
got these frat bros at you UNC that are like, no,
we're not letting this flag touch the ground. You're not
going to do anything to this flag. You're not going
to burn this flag. And that's what you get when
you go to SEC schools or similar type schools in
the South, in Florida in a few other places. You're
not going to have these people put up with this crap.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
To me, that's the most important thing.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Okay, we see what's going on with the Jews and
Israe and all this stuff like that, but at the
end of the day, this comes down to do you
love America or not? Because the people that are waving
the Palestinian flags, the people that are basically doing these encampments,
they don't love America.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I mean we can like the Jews and everything.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
That's going on here with these settlements, Harvard allegedly maybe
having to have to pay a half a billion dollars
all these other fines. Okay, the Jews are a Canarian
cole mine. The reality is these students that go to Harvard, Columbia, Cornell,
the list goes on. They don't love America. You know,
you tell the story about you went to Harvard for
the business planning event there or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And this was in twenty sixteen with Trump. This is
Trump Hill because you'd be in jail. You said, zero
people roots Trump people. Okay, so one, two, five, ten zero.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
At the end of the day, these schools are in
doctrination camps to just hate America trickle down.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
But is they don't love Israel or the Jews. Let
me ask you guys a question.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
What about the people that are fund you because to me,
none of that crap is organic, None of it happens
on its own. What about the nngos, What about the
Open Society, the George sources who are funding to make
this happen. Because I don't believe these catchers woke up
and they're like, let's put on some kaffeas and go
out there and say we hate is you only hate Jews?
That shit's all planned, just like every big ass event
that happens in the United States, from BLM to all
(08:25):
these all these things to cause this division.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Are they ever gonna get freaking held accountable?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Is George Soros ever gonna get get held accountable for
all the damage and destruction that he does in this country?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That's two different things.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I think these are you got to isolate two issues.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
But is he right for these people?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Well? No, you got to isolate those two issues and
address those are two separate things.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But to think about the issue for me is the
follow one. To me, I'm also not from over protecting
a community more than another community. Let me explain to
what makes me uncomfortable with that. The last five years
they over protected the LGBTQ community. What do you mean
overprotect them? I understand if you're protecting totally get it.
But overprotecting that you can't say. Certain things and videos
(09:06):
were being canceled and we went back to reality. Over
protecting African Americans, overprotecting you know, whites, overprotecting Jews, overprotecting
whatever minority community, may be protect everybody, be fair with everybody,
allow the merit base to be there. Don't fall for
the mob. The mob is going to convince you that
they're bigger than they are. You were afraid of the mob.
(09:28):
You look like a clown when you were not willing
to stand up to them. And that's what makes these
institutions look bad. I did a quick math. If you
look at the amount of money that they paid based
on how much money they have it in their endowments,
who do you think pay the most based on the fine?
Don't look there, you cheated time. All the all the schools, UCLA, Brown, Columbia, Harvard,
(09:52):
Who do you think pay the biggest fine based on
their number define to the dollar a month?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I would I would guess Columbia.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Columbia pay the biggest fine. Okay, one point five percent
of their endowment. Number two is Harvard one percent. Number
three is Brown point eight percent. U c Lyly paid
point zero two percent. Okay, So you still it was like,
I don't even know what happened over There wasn't a
big deal that they went by. But even Harvard as
much as we say half a billion compared to the
(10:20):
you know, fifty one billion dollars that they have. It's
not that much bigger than what Columbia had to pay.
So Columbia paid the biggest price. By the way, that's
assuming Harvard only pays five hundred million. You were asking
about the latest polo shirts that are coming up. It
took us a few months to get them. They're finally in.
I wore one of these. Everybody was asking where did
you get these Vitama polo shirts.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
They're right there.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
We got them in brown, black, white, gray, and another white.
There's a bunch of them on here for those because
it's hot. Yesterday, we flew them from Orlando. We're on
a flight flying back on this private jet and we're
asking the pilot, Hey, can you turn on the AC?
I can't turn on the AC. Mario makes the mistake
of asking the guy says, I heard this is a
(11:01):
this is a mock.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
What did he ask him? He says, and the guy
was like, yeah, one point five?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Actually got one point And the next thing you know,
we get on the gender discosis. Hm, we start doing
all this stuff, showing off. I'm like, what is this
guy doing On the way back we're flying, Lowe said,
I can't turn on the AC.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I get off the plane. Remember what look.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I get off the plane. My entire shirt is flipping,
you know, drenched. And this is why Tommy just announced
he's moving to Florida because she loved here. But for
some of you guys that are in the heat, you
want to wear a polo shirt and have the victim
