- 0:00Speaker 1: So as you remember, yes, the book is poisoned ives.
- 0:02Speaker 1: This was about the university president's hearing where you had
- 0:05Speaker 1: the presidents of Penn, Mit and Harvard. It became the
- 0:08Speaker 1: most viewed testimony in the history of Congress, more than Watergate,
- 0:10Speaker 1: more than any other congressional hearing. And that was when
- 0:13Speaker 1: I asked them a direct question, does calling for the
- 0:15Speaker 1: genocide of Jews violate your university's code of conduct? And
- 0:19Speaker 1: they essentially equivocated and said it depends on the context.
- 0:22Speaker 1: This was, of course, after the Hamas attacks against Israel
- 0:26Speaker 1: on October seventh, as we saw universities in the US,
- 0:29Speaker 1: particularly the Ivy League, be engulfed with anti semitism. But
- 0:32Speaker 1: it's not just about anti Semitism. This is a much

- 0:38Speaker 1: radical professors at these schools, if you look at the
- 0:42Speaker 1: foreign dollars flowing to these schools, the percentage of increases
- 0:45Speaker 1: of foreign students. For example, at Columbia, forty percent of
- 0:49Speaker 1: students at Columbia are foreign students, and that includes literally
- 0:54Speaker 1: students who publicly chant not just death to Israel, but
- 0:57Speaker 1: death to America. And our affiliate with Hamas terrorist organizations.
- 1:02Speaker 1: So the book goes into all of that. It's a
- 1:04Speaker 1: behind the scenes look at the hearing. It's already the
- 1:06Speaker 1: number one bestseller in nonfiction on Amazon nationwide because people
- 1:11Speaker 1: care about education, because it's about educating our next generational leaders.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, the next generation of leaders aren't
- 1:17Speaker 1: going to come from these schools.
