Hello, everybody. So in recent weeks, there's been a well-publicized war between, in principle, Harvard University and the Trump administration, or at least that's how it's been framed by the remnants, the pathetic and sad remnants of the legacy media, most particularly the utterly despicable New York Times.

Now, you see, this isn't really a war between Harvard, that august institution, and the mega Trump administration. This is a much deeper problem. And the reason that it seems to me that you should all know about it is because whatever the universities are doing that's corrupt and appalling spills over into the broader culture in a way that's cataclysmic.

the people who end up running everything come from the universities, particularly the Ivy Leagues. And so what that means is that if those institutions become corrupt, and they have become corrupt, make no bones about it, then everything they feed into becomes corrupt in exactly the same manner.

And so now we could be thinking that it's Harvard, that august institution, against the strange mega Trump conservatives. Or we could be thinking that this is a way deeper problem that concerns everyone. And so we're going to investigate that today. I'm going to give you some facts.

and some opinions, and I'm going to read to you from the New York Times covering this debacle, and also from the Montreal Gazette concerning McGill University in Canada, which Canadians like to regard as the Harvard of the North. Now, you see, I also taught at most of those. I was a student at McGill, and I taught there.

as a teaching assistant and running my own seminars for my graduate student friends. And then I worked at Harvard for six years in the 90s, when it was truly an outstanding place. And then, as many of you know, I worked as a professor for about two decades at the University of Toronto, which has become equally corrupt.

And so I know what I'm talking about, or you might make that case, although I suppose there are people who would disagree. So, I can't tell you how important this topic is for you to understand, and in some detail. I should also point out that I haven't exactly been sitting around in consequence of believing that this is a vital issue. My family and I
