Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

There's some... Major news and some swirling news around one of America's most powerful institutions, Harvard. Harvard University is, of course, America's most famous university.
They have an admission rate of 3.2%. But Harvard is a lot more than just a prestigious school. They are really one of the most powerful institutions in America. Harvard's endowment currently sits at $53 billion. Its annual budget is $63 billion, $6.3 billion. Democrat administrators staffed themselves with faculty and administrators and alumni of Harvard.
Elena Kagan, the most formidable liberal Supreme Court justice, was dean of Harvard Law School. Ron Klain, Biden's chief of staff, is a Harvard man. Rachel Levine, remember Rachel Levine? Harvard, so was Pete Buttigieg. Harvard has international pull. They've educated the leaders of many other nations. When Russia became capitalist in the 1990s, Harvard was brought in to oversee much of it.
And the fact that it went so badly means that many people in Russia see Harvard as essentially having looted their country. So yes, our current quasi-war with Russia may have been brought to you by Harvard. Harvard has a huge amount of power to set the zeitgeist for American academia as a whole. They are far, far more than a school, and they know it.

Chapter 2: Why is Harvard University facing calls to be defunded?
So in order to make this permanent, what number is that? The Doge cuts are what, $8.3 billion to make it permanent? But there's also the larger issue of rescission. Walk our audience through that, please.
Sure, and this is just the first of a series of rescissions bills. As we get comfortable with what's the annual amount of permanent savings that can be done, and if it's multi-year money, we're going to go ahead and send those up, so long as Congress is actually going to be passing those. That's critical.
We have executive tools that we can use if Congress is not going to pass these bills, but they've been demanding them. The process is one of an exception –
or a a procedure in the impoundment control act and you and i know and are not big fans of the impoundment control act and how it has bound the president correct but there is a there is a process it's called a fast track procedure to give an up or down vote in both the house and the senate without concern with regard to the filibuster that will allow this to be voted on in the house and the senate leadership of both parties has said look we're going to get this thing passed
we're going to send that up when they get back formally. They need to be there to receive it, and then we'll start working with them to get the votes to get this thing through.
The other element of this, of course, is the USAID cuts. The elements of this are rather remarkable. I mean, it's from the United States African Development Foundation to the Inter-American Foundation, which has small grants to grassroots civil society organizations in Latin America, the Democracy Fund, $83 million to benefit LGBT in Caribbean.
You have to wonder, and we have no evidence of this, but you have to wonder how much of this actually ended up coming back into American-affiliated politicians or their allies. It sounds very, very suspicious. However, Russ, walk us through this. I know this is actually breaking news. Tell us more about these rescissions when it comes to the USAID and the foreign aid rescission package.
Well, I think the reality of these rescissions is that I think we all think that government is too big, and it has been for quite some time, decades. But when you see the fine print, when you see what the contracts are and you see what we're funding –
You come away with this aha moment, this realization, of course these countries think worse of us and dislike us because we're funding this kind of garbage in their countries. We would not accept or we shouldn't be accepting, and part of the Trump administration is to push back and make sure domestically we're not funding this as the Department of Education. Or USDA.
