Harold Ford Jr.

We've talked about the cost of higher education. And, you know, even in the Biden administration, this is when they try to retire all of the all of American student debt was unconstitutional. Shouldn't have done it. They kept doing it. I would say to Democrats, you you supported that, but you don't support. Some of you did.

You don't support when Trump is, I think, violating what the court is saying by doing some of the things he's doing. But we have to be consistent in that regard.

But we shouldn't conflate the fact that we do need more engineers and plumbers and electricians in the country, that we do need to provide more routes into the employment ranks in our country by educating and training young people, for the amount of middle-aged people who may want to switch professions. But where I differ with the president, this isn't the way to do it.

The way to do it is to actually drill down and get very specific. The example that Kayleigh gave regarding Bill Ackman, maybe there's a reason the president of the school has not contacted Bill, but Bill makes some good points. I disagree with him on a lot of things, but I think he's a really smart guy and I think he loves his university. We are the most innovative country in the world.

We are the most important country in the world. We have the greatest military in the world. We have the best universities in the world. This is what provides us leverage as a nation. And I would only hope that saner minds, saner heads, because President Trump, I think, is trying to get at something good here. I just don't like the way he's doing it.

There's no need to go after these universities, these top research centers like you are, because you may have a political issue. Cleaning up and making them be stronger and how they protect students on campus, be they Jewish students or any students, is something they must do. But when you take a school like Harvard, which I don't believe we have a greater.

And this is I went to University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, and I love these schools. But there's not a university asset, a college asset in the world that is more aligned with excellence than Harvard has been throughout its existence. We had to fix it and not destroy it. And I think what President Trump is doing is bordering on something not good here.

You know, I try... So I watched over the weekend. I think it was this weekend. I watched President Trump. I watch a lot of lacrosse. Congratulations to Cornell, by the way. I watched President Trump. I do. This is the weekend to do it because of the Final Four and the finals. But I watched President Trump give a speech at West Point.

And I thought some of it was inspiring and some of it was a challenge to those young men and women. And other parts were not. I went back and watched a little bit of this afternoon. We were going to talk about him today. And look, he spoke from... a place that he thought was honest and true. It's not what I would do.

And I just think graduates deserve to have commencement addresses where there's no doubt you want the person giving the address to give a little sense of whom they are and have some of that be a part of their speech, which is why I think we accept a lot of how President Trump presents. But I would have done this a little differently. I understand.
