Hegseth pulls military out of ‘Woke Harvard’ · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

• 0:23
  What a glorious day we find ourselves living today, my friends.
• 0:28
  I know you feel it.
• 0:29
  I know you're happy about it.
• 0:31
  I know you're just as happy about it as I am.
• 0:35
  Do you think the the hierarchy in Harvard is happy about it?
• 0:40
  Do you think they mean Harvard just they just cannot get out of the crosshairs?
• 0:48
  And you would think, though, that they would perhaps I don't know, learn their lesson, maybe that they would just stop being an arm of the Marxist Marxist regime.
• 1:06
  Ah, I mean, they're the oldest and the greatest, right?
• 1:11
  That's what we refer to them as.
• 1:13
  They are the oldest academic institution in the country that but yet they've been overrun.
• 1:19
  The great Harvard has been overrun.
• 1:21
  We've got a couple pieces we're going to get into today.
• 1:24
  But first, first, you know what today is.
• 1:29
  Today is an anniversary.
• 1:36
  In our mid-decade redistricting, redistricting battles that are taking place for our very eyes.
• 1:46
  Normally, we don't see these types of redistricting taking place mid-decade.
• 1:53
  We see them coming out of the census, but it's it's unfolding right now.
• 1:59
  State legislators are drawing up new maps.
• 2:04
  It happened because of Texas.
• 2:05
  Texas drew up a new map because they wanted to favor the Republicans.
• 2:10
  And so then California, they said, Well, if you're gonna do that, but we're gonna do the same, or we're gonna favor the Democrats, and then Illinois, and then so now we we've we've got this battle taking place, and it's you know, a lot of these cases have have gone to the to the courts, but it's because of today in 1812, when L Bridge Jerry, the governor of Massachusetts decided to redraw the map to favor his party, and and that's where we get our name gerrymandering because of L Bridge Jerry.
• 2:46
  Uh you know, the the map kind of looked like a salamander type thing, and so they renamed it Jerrymandering.
• 2:55
  That means that's just a play on words, and it stuck gerrymandering is now what we call it.
• 3:00
  So much fun, just just a little bit of history.
• 3:02
  That was today.
• 3:03
  That was today in 1812.
• 3:06
  I think we'll probably do a piece on that, maybe dive into more detail, more history of it on Substack, because we are this year celebrating the founding fathers, and Elbridge Jerry was a signer of the declaration.
• 3:23
  Were you aware of that?
• 3:24
  Did you know that the governor of Massachusetts in 1812 was a signer of the Declaration of Independence?
• 3:32
  Elbridge, he's he's actually one of our favorites around here.
• 3:37
  And yeah, we're gonna take some time uh and highlight him a little bit.
• 3:42
  We haven't got to the Massachusetts men yet.
• 3:44
  We haven't got to the signers from Massachusetts.
• 3:48
  Let's see, last week, Friday, last Friday we visited Maryland, and the Friday before that, we were, I think, Delaware.
• 3:58
  The Friday before that we did North Carolina, and the Friday before that, we did, which would have been our first Friday.
• 4:09
  We kind of laid out the the picture.
• 4:12
  We kind of talked about the battle for independence that that we just never hear of.
• 4:18
  And it was really the battle that that began in the debates, the battle that took place in Carpenter's Hall, now Independence Hall.
• 4:28
  We don't we don't hear those stories.
• 4:31
  We don't know the stories of the men who showed up to the that first general congress, as it's called, or the or the first continental congress, as sometimes it's called, it kind of goes by both names, and we are unaware that some of them showed up and they wanted to separate from Great Britain at the get-go, and others, the majority of them said no, we we don't want to separate, we want to stay under British rule.
• 5:04
  We just want to convince the British to treat us differently, to stop treating us like I mean, back in the 80s, we would refer to it as redheaded stepkids, and I don't know where that where that phrase comes from or why that simile.
• 5:19
  You're being treated like a red-headed stepchild.
• 5:22
  I mean, I don't know.
• 5:24
  It's it was just a thing.
• 5:25
  That's it was as it was a thing.
• 5:27
  I mean, I can't, I can't explain why.
• 5:31
  Uh I guess it means you're treated like a lesser then because you have red hair and you're a stepchild.
• 5:37
  I don't know.
• 5:38
  I don't know.
• 5:39
  But the there was a faction that that met for that general Congress that just they didn't want to be treated poorly, they wanted to stay in the family, they wanted to be treated like citizens, they wanted to be treated like actual children.
• 5:56
  And so we had this debate, and they were referred to at one group was referred to as moderates, and the other group was referred to as violence, uh, as in the violent ones, V-I-O-L-E-N-T, as opposed to ENCE, the violent ones and the moderate ones.
• 6:16
  And uh the the story, really that ultimate overall arching story is intriguing, and it's even more intriguing when you dive into the different men and and which side of the aisle they fell on.
• 6:31
  And it's it's really a picture of it's a picture of compromise.
• 6:37
  It's a picture of two sides coming together for one common cause, and I don't know that that we see it spelled out that way.
• 6:47
  And so that's that's really the the route we've been taking.
• 6:51
  And I absolutely love exploring the stories of the lives of these men and why they did what they did.
• 7:03
  Many of them did not vote for independence, but yet they still signed the document, pledging their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, because it was the will of the people.
• 7:13
  And they said, all right, I didn't vote for it, but if it's the will of the people, I'm going to get behind it.
• 7:19
  It was really a different attitude.
• 7:22
  And I don't know that that attitude could ever be reclaimed.
• 7:26
  I mean, I'm sure it could be, but it's an attitude that we've lost in our in our debates today.
• 7:36
  There isn't there isn't this unifying, let's get behind the country sort of attitude.
• 7:43
  And the reason we don't have that is because one party in particular has been infiltrated by uh by a mindset that is heavily anti-American, and the infiltration of that party.
• 8:02
  It's it's it's the it's the Democrat Party, the infiltration of the Democrat Party in terms of having an anti-American mindset has really been happening for a long time.
• 8:15
  Years, decades.
• 8:18
  You could even argue centuries, maybe even since its beginning.
• 8:24
  I don't know about its beginning, but shortly thereafter, this party has been infiltrated.
• 8:32
  And so it's it's just a different attitude, and and it's a different mindset.
• 8:35
  But I said all that to say this: that on Fridays here on America Out Loud, we're taking some time to explore the men to explore who they were, to explore what they thought, what they believed, why they did what they did, and I love it.
• 8:50
  We were going to history class every Friday.
• 8:52
  I enjoy it.
• 8:53
  It's one of my favorite days of the week this Friday.
• 8:57
  I think we're gonna hit Pennsylvania this Friday.
• 8:59
  I've been looking forward to Pennsylvania because I'm so intrigued by what's happening in Pennsylvania at this time.
• 9:06
  They are housing, they are hosting, they are welcoming the general Congress, but yet the delegates aren't aren't on board.
• 9:18
  And we're gonna get to the we're gonna get to the whys and the hows and and kind of explore Pennsylvania in more detail.
• 9:25
  And then also on Substack, we're taking some time, and we're going to we're we're diving into even more detail than what we're doing here on the show.
• 9:37
  So if you've not subscribed to the Dean's list on Substack, for example, last Saturday, or I'm sorry, last last Friday, a week ago, we talked about the men from uh I want to say North North, you know, no Maryland.
• 10:00
  All right.
• 10:00
  Last weekend we talked about the men from Maryland.
• 10:05
  And we kind of revisited that on the Saturday Substack.
• 10:11
  Well, on Wednesday's Substack today, actually, today's Wednesday, right?
• 10:15
  So in today's Substack, what has come out is a little bit of more specific detail on Francis Hopkinson, one of the signers.
• 10:28
  And in terms of just some things that he uh, some things he did, some some things that things he's he stood for, some things that he um no, no, I'm sorry, this is New Jersey.
• 10:45
  This would have been uh on Friday we went to New Jersey and Francis Hopkins and I didn't really talk a lot about him on the show.
• 10:54
  I just I kind of mentioned him briefly.
• 10:56
  But in today's Substack, we've got a whole piece on Francis Hopkinson and how important he was to the movement, how important his wit and wisdom was to the movement.
• 11:08
  And this is you know, he was uh satirical, he was uh sarcastic, he was humorous, he was smart, he was funny, he was witty, and he displayed a lot of that in his writings, and it was important, it was important to the time, it was important to the people.
• 11:28
  So that's today, and uh what we're just having some fun with it, and uh we're gonna keep having fun with it.
• 11:35
  We're gonna keep exploring the lives of these men.
• 11:38
  So listen, I hope that you will join me on Substack.

  So listen, if you want to join us over there, we would love, love, love to have you.
• 12:15
  It would be uh, it would be our our honor to host you on Substack.
• 12:22

• 12:24
  Speaking of 250 years, speaking of exploring who these men were, the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
• 12:33
  And speaking of hosting, hosting a party.
• 12:36

• 13:33
  We're also celebrating 10 years of America out loud.
• 13:36
  Ah, it's just gonna be such a good time.
• 13:38
  All right, go to the go to the site, America Outloud.news, discover what you need to do to get registered, get your hotel room, get yourself there.
• 13:47
  It's going to be a great time.
• 13:50
  All right, I started this segment, but really, you know, wanting to dive into Harvard.
• 13:56
  Harvard is, as I said before I got on that little rabbit trail.
• 14:02
  Harvard is our oldest institution of academia.
• 14:06
  It's our greatest.
• 14:08
  But yet, it has come under.
• 14:13
  Um, what's the word I'm looking for?
• 14:15
  I want to say it's come under assault, but it it's really more than assault.
• 14:20
  It was it was a complete takeover.
• 14:21
  It was a coup.
• 14:22
  It was a coup that took over our oldest and greatest academic institution.
• 14:29
  And over the years, over the decades and centuries, Harvard, and we've watched it unfold really in the last, well, in my lifetime.
• 14:41
  We've watched it almost shift to become very well.
• 14:48
  If I said anti-American, you think that's too strong.
• 14:51
  We've watched it become anti-American.
• 14:53
  You think that that's too strong of language?
• 14:56
  I mean, I think it's consistent.
• 14:58
  I don't know that it's, I don't think it's too strong.
• 15:01
  I think it would be a consistent statement.
• 15:04
  Uh, and that's something that Secretary of War Pete Heggseth has not only alluded to, but almost just came right out and said it February 6th, just a couple days ago.
• 15:16
  He announced that the Pentagon is going to cut all academic ties with Harvard.
• 15:21
  And his words, he said, because the institution no longer meets the needs of the war department or the military service.
• 15:28
  And then when he went into detail then to what those needs are, he said the Pentagon is discontinuing graduate level professional military education, fellowships, and certificate programs with Harvard beginning next fall.
• 15:47
  The 2026-2027 academic school year for all active duty service members.
• 15:54
  Well, what does that mean?
• 15:56
  What is that uh what does that look like?
• 16:00
  He said the policy will apply to service members enrolling in future courses, but military personnel already enrolled at Harvard will still be allowed to finish their courses um that they've already enrolled in.
• 16:14
  So this is a reference to any any future courses that they're stopping.
• 16:19
  Those that are in them, they're gonna finish them.
• 16:21
  And then Heg Seth says, We're done.
• 16:24
  That's it.
• 16:25
  Our partnership, our relationship with Harvard is going to come to a screeching halt.
• 16:32
  He said, for too long, this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class.
• 16:43
  Instead, he said, too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard, heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks.
• 16:58
  So what does that tell you about Harvard?
• 17:03
  In Hegseth's opinion, Harvard has become more of a globally minded institution than an American-minded institution.
• 17:13
  And this is almost the fight that we find ourselves in.
• 17:17
  Either you're, at least here within our country, either you're pro-America, or you're pro-globalist.
• 17:26
  Either you're for the country, either you're America first, or you're the globe first.
• 17:31
  You're a globetrotter, as it were.
• 17:35
  These are the battle lines, and and we're watching these battle lines unfold.
• 17:39
  We you know, it's kind of like this this Olympic skier the other day.
• 17:44
  I'm not gonna say his name.
• 17:45
  He just ticks me off.
• 17:47
  You know, where he he's on the global stage.
• 17:52
  And he's ripping on America on the global stage, and the globalists love that.
• 17:57
  They just they love it, they're all about it.
• 17:59
  That's what they want to hear, it's what they want to see.
• 18:02
  They want to see Americans ripping on America on a globalist platform.
• 18:10
  I mean, is there anything more global than the Olympics?
• 18:14
  I mean, that's a global platform, and it's a global platform that is widespread.
• 18:21
  Everybody is watching the Olympics.
• 18:24
  It's not just a political thing, it's an athletic event.
• 18:28
  Everybody's tuned in.
• 18:30
  I don't know about everybody here in America, especially after that little charade.
• 18:36
  I don't know that we're interested in it.
• 18:38
  I mean, yes, we are.
• 18:40
  We we still love the athletes.
• 18:42
  We still support the athletes, but not that guy, not that guy who said, I'm not here for America, I'm here for my friends and family.
• 18:49
  That's why I'm here.
• 18:51
  These are the battle lines.
• 18:54
  You're either pro-America or you're you're pro-globalism.
• 18:59
  You're you're your MAGA.
• 19:01
  Make America great again.
• 19:02
  You're America first.
• 19:04
  You're in line with with the Trump agenda and the Trump policies.
• 19:08
  You're in line with a strong border.
• 19:10
  You're in line with protecting our our citizens and keeping our city streets safe.
• 19:16
  You're in line with defending the homeland.
• 19:19
  Or you're in line with, well, let's all be a citizen of the globe.
• 19:23
  Let's let's open the border, and let everybody pour in.
• 19:26
  We don't need a constitution.
• 19:30
  This is where we find ourselves.
• 19:32
  And this is what Hegseth is saying that Harvard has chosen which side of this line they're on.
• 19:40
  And he's saying, look, our officers are coming back looking like globalists and and radical, uh, full of radical ideologies.
• 19:49
  And they're not improving our fighting ranks because that's not they're not America first.
• 19:54
  They're they're they don't have this concept or this idea of being of being pro-America, and that's a problem.
• 20:01
  And Harvard, they've got to know this.
• 20:05
  And they've got to, you know, they're doing it on purpose.
• 20:08
  This isn't something that Harvard is saying, oh, we didn't, we didn't realize this was happening.
• 20:13
  We better change.
• 20:13
  We love America.
• 20:15
  That's not the response that Harvard is giving.
• 20:19
  You know, when Trump said, hey, we we're gonna withhold this funding unless you start, you know, being more in line with the direction we're gonna go.
• 20:28
  Harvard didn't get in line.
• 20:30
  I mean, other Ivy League schools got in line, whether uh in reality or in word or deed only, I don't know.
• 20:38
  But Harvard didn't.
• 20:39
  Harvard filed a lawsuit.
• 20:41
  Harvard fired off a lawsuit.
• 20:43
  They they doubled down.
• 20:46
  They they know where they stand on this.
• 20:49
  They get it, they understand which side of the of the of the argument they're on, and they're on that side on purpose.
• 20:55
  And and Hegseth, good for him.
• 20:58
  He's making a stand.
• 20:59
  It's a pro-America stand, ultimately.
• 21:02
  It's a stand for the country.
• 21:03
  And and we we love Heg Seth for doing it.
• 21:07
  We absolutely love Pete Heggseth for getting on on board this train.
• 21:11
  All right, I'm looking at the clock.
• 21:13
  We're up against it.
• 21:14
  Let's wrap up segment number one.
• 21:16
  I want to dive more into uh Hegseth's comments on the other side of this break.

  All right, back to Hegeth here, because he's saying important things.
• 25:19
  And I want to make sure that we're catching it.
• 25:22
  You know, ultimately he's saying our oldest and greatest institution has sided with the globalists.
• 25:32
  They're not siding with America here.
• 25:35
  They're siding with the globalists.
• 25:37
  He said Harvard is no longer a welcoming institution for military personnel.
• 25:42
  Citing the academics partnership with the Chinese Communist Party.
• 25:55
  How is that a thing?
• 25:56
  How are we letting this happen?
• 25:57
  And where are these partnerships unfolding?
• 25:59
  Well, Hegeth tells us.
• 26:01
  He says on campus research programs.
• 26:04
  And a campus culture, he said that enables attacks on Jewish students and promotes discrimination based on race and violation with Supreme Court decisions.
• 26:15
  All right, campus research programs.
• 26:18
  Were you aware that Harvard had aligned itself with the CCP on campus research programs?
• 26:26
  Do you know what this is akin to?
• 26:29
  This would be like in the 80s in the early 80s.
• 26:33
  Harvard aligning itself with the uh the USSR on campus research programs, aligning itself with the Soviets.
• 26:44
  There's nothing different here.
• 26:46
  Communism, my friends, is communism.
• 26:49
  And the CCP is the new KGB.
• 26:54
  I mean, they're they're the new Russia here.
• 26:59
  They are the communist leaders of the globe.
• 27:03
  And they want nothing more but to end American dominance.
• 27:10
  And we've got Harvard.
• 27:12
  Uh joining him in research programs.
• 27:16
  I just I don't, I don't, I don't get it.
• 27:19
  In a separate post on X.
• 27:22
  Hegseth said Harvard was promoting woke ideology, which goes against the war department's values.
• 27:30
  The the the Pentagon and military services, he said, will also evaluate similar relationships with other Ivy League schools and civilian universities in the coming weeks.
• 27:43
  He is on a mission here to end all ties with these universities that are that they've chosen a side.
• 28:01
  He said the goal is to determine whether or not they actually deliver cost effective strategic education for future senior leaders when compared to say public universities and our military graduate programs.
• 28:24
  Why not just funnel our our officers there?
• 28:27
  Why do we?
• 28:42
  Okay.
• 28:43
  But we can't be sending them to universities that refuse to not be woke and not engage in this and this type of I don't know, ideology and this type of belief that um that the globe is better than America.
• 29:06
  So kudos here to Heg Seth.
• 29:09
  Kudos to Hegseth for saying, hey, we're we're moving forward, and we are moving forward with a pro-America stance, unlike any administration that is, you know, ever been in existence.
• 29:25
  And now in the meantime, in addition to Trump, I'm sorry, in addition to Heg Seth saying, look, we're pulling our officers out of Harvard, they're too woke.
• 29:34
  Trump announced a few days earlier that he's seeking a billion dollars in damages from Harvard.
• 29:42
  I mean, holy smokes, what is going on at Harvard?
• 29:48
  I just he uh his administration labeled Harvard strongly anti Semitic.
• 29:55
  He said, We are now seeking one billion dollars in damages.
• 30:00
  And want nothing further to do with Harvard in the future.
• 30:04
  And this is what he wrote on Truth Social.
• 30:07
  We're seeking a billion dollars in damages.
• 30:10
  And we want nothing further to do into the future with Harvard University.
• 30:14
  That's the uh that's the direct quote.
• 30:17
  We're severing all ties with Harvard.
• 30:20
  Uh now we know last year he attempted to freeze billions of dollars in federal funding from Harvard.
• 30:27
  This came on the heels of an investigation into DEI initiatives, as well as claims of anti-Semitism.
• 30:36
  The White House said last April that Harvard had failed to protect its students from harassment and violence on campus.
• 30:45
  Here's what Trump wrote.
• 30:47
  He said, Harvard has been for a long time behaving very badly.
• 30:52
  They wanted to do a convoluted job training concept, but it was turned down in that it was wholly inadequate and would not have been, in our opinion, successful.
• 31:04
  It was merely a way of Harvard getting out of a large cash settlement of more than 500 million dollars, a number that should be much higher for the serious and heinous illegalities that they have committed.
• 31:18
  Trump also accused Harvard of feeding a lot of nonsense to the New York Times, but then he did not provide further details as to what that nonsense was.
• 31:31
  Um I'm looking at this piece here out of the Epoch Times.
• 31:38
  Epoch says they reached out to Harvard for a comment, but Harvard did not reply at the time of publication.
• 31:48
  Of course, we know that Jewish students at Harvard uh heavily reported incidents of harassment following October 7th, 2023.
• 32:00
  Uh, the uh the the Hamas-led attacks against Israel.
• 32:07
  Uh a student sued the school.
• 32:09
  Uh they they sued its former president Claudine Gay, who resigned after a horribly pathetic congressional testimony.
• 32:20
  Um that uh you know, Congress held hearings on uh anti-Semitism on college campuses and her testimony was just horrific.
• 32:30
  Um she resigned shortly thereafter.
• 32:34
  A lot of the uh a lot of the the presidents at that point began to resign.
• 32:41
  The leadership, it would seem at these vaunted academic universities was coming unraveled.
• 32:50
  Um, those who were still in charge and the governing boards, that this is where this stuff lies.
• 32:58
  It lies at the governing boards, it's at their feet.
• 33:02
  Uh the the current president of Harvard, Alan Garber, uh rejected a list of conditions outlined by federal anti-Semitism task force.
• 33:13
  This is when you know Trump said, Hey, we we want you to look, let's work this out.
• 33:19
  You know, we're we'll keep the money flowing to you.
• 33:23
  But there's a checklist here that we want you to agree to that we want you to come on board with.
• 33:30
  And Garber said no, and we're not going to come on board this checklist, and instead, we're going to file a lawsuit because this is akin to you taking over our institution and our right to free speech and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 33:45
  Whatever.
• 33:46
  This was last April.
• 33:48
  Um, so he filed a lawsuit uh seeking to restore the almost 2.2 billion dollars in grants that the Trump team had said they were going to withhold.
• 34:04
  It's a lot of money.
• 34:06
  It's a lot of money.
• 34:07
  And Garber's, ah, we we need that money.
• 34:09
  We need that.
• 34:10
  We need that 2.2 billion.
• 34:11
  I mean, I get it.
• 34:12
  2.2 billion.
• 34:15
  Uh later, a federal judge reversed the funding freeze, ruling that the government violated the First Amendment, Harvard's first amendment through its efforts to combat anti-Semitism.
• 34:30
  The uh the Department of Justice has since appealed that decision.
• 34:36
  And Trump also issued a proclamation in June of 25 seeking to end Harvard's visa program for international students, prompting the university to file another legal challenge.
• 34:52
  And several other Ivy League schools, including Columbia, Brown.
• 34:59
  Um, you know, they were also, you know, part of this list where you know Trump gave them a list and said, hey, you guys are, you know, we want you to to comply.
• 35:08
  And they have reached agreements with with the Trump team.
• 35:12
  They've accepted certain government demands, and they've said, yeah, we we will comply with these things.
• 35:18
  Uh and in addition to that, Columbia agreed to pay more than 220 million to the government, and Brown said it will pay 50 million to support local workforce development.
• 35:31
  So you've got Brown, you've got Columbia, and they've said, hey, look, we want to um we want to be on board.
• 35:39
  Okay, we want to be in compliance with what the federal government wants us to do here.
• 35:48
  And on the flip side of that, you've got Harvard, and Harvard's like, no, we're not, we're not gonna be in compliance.
• 35:55
  We're not gonna do anything.
• 35:56
  We're we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna double down.
• 36:00
  We're Harvard for crying out loud.
• 36:02
  It's what we do.
• 36:02
  We we we double down.
• 36:05
  So, I mean, in this doubling down, you've got Heg Seth pulling out the officer program, and then you've got Trump announcing, hey, we're we're going after these guys.
• 36:16
  We are what what's the amount again?
• 36:19
  1 billion dollars in damages.
• 36:21
  We're gonna sue Harvard for a billion dollars in damages.
• 36:25
  Now, I don't know what that suit looks like.
• 36:28
  I don't know.
• 36:29
  Um it appears that that Trump has been, as of late in these lawsuits that he's been engaging in, he's been successful.
• 36:40
  I mean, you know, but personally, uh on a personal note for in terms of Trump's perspective.
• 36:49
  He's had these media companies paying him millions of dollars.
• 36:54
  I mean, ABC.
• 36:56
  Um, I don't think they're the latest.
• 36:58
  I mean, he's going after, I don't know, I don't even know what the list looks like.
• 37:03
  He's been successful, though.
• 37:04
  And we're we'll see.
• 37:05
  We're gonna see how this how this thing unfolds in terms of what um of what this billion-dollar lawsuit looks like, and in terms of what it means for Harvard, you know, we'll see.
• 37:22
  In the meantime, however, this whole thing began because of DEI.
• 37:29
  Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• 37:31
  This horrible ideology that had infected academia, infected it with a disease that is debilitating to people individually, and it's debilitating to the country as a whole.
• 37:47
  And so Trump came in and he said, Look, we're gonna put an end to this.
• 37:51
  We are going to stop diversity, equity, and inclusion because it's awful.
• 37:56
  It's it's not American.
• 37:59
  It doesn't speak to the the time-tested time, I guess time tested as the best way to describe it, the time-tested values that are at the foundation of our country.
• 38:14
  They're at the foundation of the Declaration of Independence, which we're celebrating here this year.
• 38:19
  They're at they're at the heart of everything.
• 38:22
  And Trump said we we've got to get in there, and we've got to get rid of it.
• 38:27
  So, in light of that, a lot of states, according to this piece here by our friend at the Epoch Times, Aaron Gifford, Gifford gets it done.
• 38:38
  His headline here is some states eyeing more extensive anti-DEI measures and higher education.
• 38:44
  And he's he's specifically uh referring to Arizona.
• 38:50
  He says in Arizona, the Freedom from Indoctrination Act is expected to go to a public referendum.
• 38:57
  This is according to the to the Goldwater Institute.
• 39:00
  So there's some things happening here on the state level that uh we are going to continue going after diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• 39:12
  We have to.
• 39:13
  If if we don't continue going after this behemoth, then uh we will have maybe won some battles, but if we don't continue going after it, we we will lose the war.
• 39:29
  Because this is at the root of the destruction of higher education.
• 39:35
  I'll say it this way DEI is at the root of destruction of education, period.
• 39:40
  And it's not just DEI.
• 39:42
  DEI is one infection, but critical theory in and of itself is is another.
• 39:50
  And tied into all this is gender ideology.
• 39:53
  That's that's the glue that's keeping it together.
• 39:56
  And that, by the way, that is is coming undone.
• 40:00
  You know, before I before I get into this Gifford piece, um, there was something here that uh the Epoch Times put out that I want to, it was another um, and it was just uh ironic.
• 40:19
  I kind of found it.
• 40:21
  Oh, yeah, here it is.
• 40:22
  The piece is entitled Second Major Medical Group walks back support for child gender surgeries.
• 40:30
  You want to know what the group is?
• 40:32
  Okay, the the first group, by the way, um was uh some type of surgeon surgeon.
• 40:39
  Oh, it was the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
• 40:44
  Uh, in in the in the absence of clear evidence, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons stated surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.
• 40:56
  Uh, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, this was on February 3rd, said it recommends surgeons not to carry out gender-related surgeries, such as the removal of breasts or genitals until the patient is at least 19.
• 41:11
  Uh and so then the second group is the American Medical Association.
• 41:19
  The American Medical Association told the Epoch Times also that evidence for gender-affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to make a definitive statement.
• 41:32
  Uh so this this whole this whole thing, this whole ideology is coming unraveled at uh at and on the medical side.
• 41:42
  And the only reason, though, and here's the here's the the humorous thing.
• 41:47
  I mean, it's not humorous.
• 41:49
  I don't mean to make light of it because there's nothing funny about it, but the only reason these guys are doing this, these organizations are doing this, it's because of this lawsuit, this $2 million lawsuit that just came out of New York, where this girl now 25 had a massectomy when she was 16.
• 42:07
  And she's saying I was I was depressed, I was all these things, and you changed my life forever, and I'm a minor.
• 42:16
  And her mom came out and said, Yeah, I and I signed off because they told me if I didn't, my daughter would be dead.
• 42:23
  She'd commit suicide.
• 42:24
  And so we had to go this route.
• 42:26
  Evil, absolutely evil.
• 42:32
  And and it's only because of this lawsuit.
• 42:35
  It's only because a jury made up of actual citizens who understand, who see what's going on here.
• 42:44
  They get it, they see it.
• 42:46
  They realize this way of thinking, this ideology that uh we're not sure about biological truth.
• 42:56
  This ideology that instead of helping these kids work through confusion and work through trying troubling times in their lives, we're gonna we're gonna tell them a lie, and that they're actually the other gender, they're trapped in the wrong body, God made a mistake.
• 43:14
  And she was awarded over, I think over two million dollars.
• 43:18
  And now we've got the the medical associations here in America coming unraveled and coming undone and just getting nervous because it's all about money to them.
• 43:29
  It's not about anything else but money.
• 43:31
  That's it.
• 43:32
  And so the I guess my point here is that the gender ideology portion of DEI is coming on unraveled on the medical front.
• 43:43
  And that's only the beginning.
• 43:46
  It'll come unraveled on every other front that there is to make it come unraveled on.
• 43:53
  And um and so here we but we've got to we've got to keep the pedal to the metal.
• 43:58
  We've got to keep the fight focused on the the ultimate destruction of DEI.
• 44:05
  If we do that, if we do that, then we will have some success.
• 44:11
  Will we have success?
• 44:13
  You know, ultimate uh academic success taking over education.
• 44:18
  In my opinion, in my humble opinion, our best bet at reclaiming education in this country is to is to reclaim it.
• 44:28
  It's to reclaim education.
• 44:31
  It's for everyday citizens to start educating their own kids.
• 44:37
  And whether you do that through uh homeschooling at your kitchen table, whether you do that through a co-op or you meet with other people, whether you do that through you starting a co-op or you starting a hybrid, or you starting a five-day program, or you you know, getting with a group of community members who are like-minded who could start a uh a homeschool co-op one day or a two, three-day hybrid, or a full-on five-day school.
• 45:06
  It this is it's up to us, and it's our time, by the way.
• 45:11
  We have a window of opportunity here.
• 45:13
  We have an opportunity to do this.
• 45:16
  That to me is our our best bet.
• 45:19
  That's our best approach.
• 45:21
  That's the best way to reclaim education in America.
• 45:26
  And I know it's that's a scary thing.
• 45:28
  It's a scary decision to to go after that.
• 45:31
  But you know what?
• 45:32
  We can do it.
• 45:33
  I believe we can do it.
• 45:35
  All right, my friends, we're up against the clock here.
• 45:37
  We'll pick up more from this Gifford article on the other side of this break.
• 45:41
  You're listening to the dean's list on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 45:44
  Oral hygiene hasn't changed in 50 years, but our diet and the way we eat has creating an environment in your mouth for bacteria to wreck havoc on your teeth and gums for better oral health, get spray, dental defense, and oral care line designed to combat acid-creating bacteria.
• 46:02
  The toothpaste, mouthwash, mints, and gum all contain xylitol, and natural ingredient shown to dramatically improve oral health.
• 46:10
  Sprite can be found online and at all fine natural retailers.
• 46:14
  I'm Doug Evans, author of the sprout book.
• 46:17
  And I'm also a father with a three-year-old daughter.
• 46:20
  And that's why we grow sprouts.
• 46:23
  Did you know that you could take seeds, add water, and get fresh organic vegetables in three to five days without soil, sunshine, or fertilizer for under a dollar a serving?
• 46:36
  That's the miracle of sprouting.
• 46:38
  And I want to share that with you.

  Well, did you see Google quietly updated its AI principles removing its pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance?
• 47:18
  A promise they agreed to in 2018.
• 47:20
  Well, the American people have seen Google's track record.
• 47:23
  Prompt in the question, is Google an untrustworthy player in the AI race.
• 47:33
  Now is our time, my fellows.
• 47:37
  America outmaw.
• 47:49
  So in the same way that Hegstep has announced, hey, we're we're we're pulling out of it.
• 47:58
  We're pulling out of uh Harvard.
• 48:02
  Uh there are colleges and universities that are doing the same with their DEI programs.
• 48:09
  So for example, according to Aaron Gifford here in this piece, the women's and gender studies major at Texas AM will be phased out within three years.
• 48:21
  We're done.
• 48:22
  We're done with women and gender studies.
• 48:25
  Uh six courses across various majors were canceled before classes even resumed for the spring semester this year, the university announced.
• 48:37
  Uh administrators said in a January 30 statement that the instruction in question does not support the requirement under the university system's new policy for academic integrity.
• 48:50
  Because really, what do you, you know, women and and and gender studies?
• 48:54
  What are you gonna do with that except to be a leftist woke professor teaching others to be woke?
• 49:03
  I get it.
• 49:04
  That should not align with uh with new policies for academic integrity.
• 49:12
  In the past two months, 5400 course syllabi were reviewed.
• 49:17
  Faculty members and department heads work diligently to remove race or gender ideology references and courses that are unrelated to those topics.
• 49:28
  That's a big deal.
• 49:30
  Uh here's the quote from Tommy Williams, interim university president.
• 49:35
  He said, Strong oversight and standards protect academic integrity and restore public trust, guaranteeing that a degree from Texas AM means something to our students and the people who will hire them.
• 49:51
  Um of course he noted additionally that enrollment in the women's and gender studies program has continued to decline.
• 50:01
  Right along wokeism, right alongside uh what wokeism actually declining across the board from the standpoint that we have fewer young people identifying as the other gender.
• 50:17
  And now we have two medical associations pulling out of any blessing that they would give towards gender surgery.
• 50:33
  A review of legislation and campus reports indicate that in the months ahead, various states and some higher education institutions may go a step further under their own accord, by the way, and attempt to weed out political bias and academic instruction.
• 50:52
  Of course, we know that Trump's already pushed for an end to DEI practices across higher education.
• 50:59
  Um, through a series of executive orders, he he's he's done this.
• 51:07
  Uh Texas, Florida, and several other red states now have laws prohibiting DEI practices in conjunction with Trump's executive orders.
• 51:18
  In addition, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Missouri, these four states have pending legislation related to the removal of DEI or critical race theory from their public colleges and universities.
• 51:32
  According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Alabama staved off legal challenges to its law restricting divisive concepts in both K 12 and higher ed.
• 51:47
  Mississippi passed a similar law, but it was blocked for us by a federal judge, probably a leftist appointee.
• 51:54
  Tennessee's higher education freedom of expression and transparency act passed in 2023.
• 52:02
  It also has a divisive concepts clause.
• 52:06
  Colleges and universities are expected to investigate complaints from students or employees who report violations.
• 52:14
  The Goldwater Institute's Freedom from Indoctrination Act.
• 52:21
  This is a model legislation that the Goldwater Institute put out.
• 52:27
  Previously was adopted by Idaho lawmakers and North Carolina's university system board of governors.
• 52:35
  It prevents schools from mandating that students take courses promoting ideological activism as a graduation requirement.
• 52:44
  Well, why should that be a requirement to graduate?
• 52:48
  You better know how you got to take this course on ideological activism.
• 52:54
  No, sorry.
• 52:55
  Uh-uh.
• 52:58
  Although institutions are still allowing to offer such courses to willing participants, they're not making it a graduation requirement.
• 53:08
  Florida passed a similar law, prohibiting its public colleges and universities from requiring students to complete a sociology course.
• 53:19
  And Wyoming lawmakers were poised to adopt Goldwater's model legislation last year, but it was amended during the committee process, and Governor Mark Gordon vetoed it.
• 53:32
  We should probably check uh Wyoming, make sure everybody's okay in Wyoming.
• 53:36
  Well, this is the state of Cheney, though, isn't it?
• 53:39
  All right.
• 53:40
  Okay, good point.
• 53:41
  That's fair.
• 53:44
  Um in Louisiana, the proposed law was introduced last year, but didn't emerge from committees.
• 53:51
  Arizona governor Katie Hobbes vetoed the legislation and her state.
• 53:57
  But the same proposal is expected to go to a public referendum by 2027, if not this election year, according to Timothy Manella.
• 54:07
  He's the Goldwater Institute's higher education director.
• 54:12
  Manila told the Epoch Times that I don't believe universities can reform themselves internally.
• 54:17
  Public universities are supposed to be accountable to the public.
• 54:21
  We want these institutions to focus on education, not indoctrination.
• 54:28
  Of course, he's 100% correct.
• 54:31
  At the most local level, multiple schools decided to make changes based on input from administrators, faculty, or students.
• 54:40
  This includes dropping cultural diversity courses as general education requirements at some public universities in Texas, Arizona, and Iowa.
• 54:58
  A new general education requirement for two courses on race, power, privilege, and colonialism has been postponed until 2029.
• 55:08
  Not for reasons relating to restricting DEI, however, but for quote protecting faculty, staff, students, and Bates as an institution from federal attention and targeting, according to the college's news newspaper.
• 55:23
  So they're kind of hoping here that probably once Trump leaves office, they can kind of go back into their indoctrinating ways.
• 55:32
  And I think this is important that we that we pay attention to this.
• 55:38
  We know that there's going to be universities doing this, that they're just going to try to ride out the storm.
• 55:44
  And they are going to pick up indoctrination right where they left off, probably.
• 55:55
  But nonetheless, this this piece by by Gifford is encouraging.
• 55:59
  It's encouraging to note that some of these universities are doing it on their own.
• 56:06
  And the more the better.
• 56:08
  And we're not going to get 100% on this.
• 56:10
  We're not going to get 100% turnout, especially in leftist states like Maine.
• 56:15
  And other states that are led and spearheaded by Marxists.
• 56:20
