interesting articles in the last few days, or at least one in particular in the Washington Post, written by what I thought was a well-meaning reporter. But it's just clear that I've taken on some big parts of at least the progressive establishment, DEI. I'm also a believer that Biden should have stepped aside a long time ago, and it's only getting worse. So I'm attacking the president.

DEI, elite universities, and you make some enemies doing that.

Let me ask, okay, how can you explore how to think when you're only shared a certain point of view, right? How can you learn about leadership when the governance and leadership of the institution is broken? and exposure to ideas, if you're limited in the ideas that you're exposed to. So I think university is at risk.

I mean, the concerning thing, right, is if 34 student organizations that each have, I don't know, 30 members or maybe more, right, that's a thousand. Okay, that's a meaningful percentage of the campus, perhaps, that ultimately respond. Now, 10 or so of the 30 withdrew the statement once many of the members realized what they had written.

So I don't think it seems like the statement was signed by the leadership and not necessarily supported by all the various students that were members. But if the university teaches people these precepts, this is the next generation of leadership.

Normally, if you think about, I wrote my college thesis on university admissions, the reason why controlling, you know, the gates of the Harvard institution, the admissions office is important, isn't that many of these people who graduate end up with, you know, the top jobs in government and ultimately become judges. They're, you know, permeate through society.

And so it really matters what they learn. And if they're limited students, to one side of the political aisle. And they're not open to a broad array of views. And this represents some of the most elite institutions in our country. I think it's very problematic for the country long term.
