| 0:00.0 | So right now, Hamas is running Columbia University. That appears to be the way things are at America's |
| 0:06.1 | top universities where students who pretty openly and obviously back terrorist groups are now |
| 0:11.8 | violating all of the time, placing manner restrictions at their various universities. They're violating |
| 0:16.1 | their student codes. They're sitting out in the middle of the campus, obstructing other people |
| 0:20.1 | from getting to class, |
| 0:21.6 | shouting genocidal slogans at them, and the administrations, because they are filled with cowards, |
| 0:25.6 | are doing nothing. Now, before we go any further into what's actually happening on these college |
| 0:29.6 | campus, I think it's kind of important to break down the free speech concerns that people |
| 0:33.6 | correctly have about what is happening on these college campuses. So to understand that, |
| 0:38.3 | you first have to understand that there are various factors that go into the actual legal obligations |
| 0:42.9 | that various universities have with regard to their students. So on the one hand, you obviously |
| 0:47.6 | have the First Amendment. The First Amendment applies differently at private universities and |
| 0:51.4 | public universities. So the First Amendment suggests that you cannot have viewpoint discrimination on college campuses. That only applies in full |
| 0:59.4 | at public universities. So for example, if I want to speak at UC Berkeley and a student group |
| 1:04.0 | properly invites me and they clear it through all the procedures, so they fulfilled the time, |
| 1:07.7 | place, and manner restrictions, then I have a legal right to now speak at UC Berkeley. |
| 1:13.6 | The same does not hold true when I go to speak at, say, DePaul University, which actually happened. |
| 1:18.1 | When I showed up at DePaul University, which is a private Christian university, Jesuit University, when I showed up there, they didn't want me there. |
| 1:25.7 | And despite the fact that I'm a mainstream political commentator, they threatened to arrest me if I set foot on the campus. They had the legal right to do that. Not only that, they actually got the Cook County Sheriff out there to arrest me if I set foot on the campus. Now, was that morally correct? Of course, that wasn't morally correct. It was absurd. It was a restriction on the principles of free speech. Was it a legal violation of my |
| 1:44.5 | rights? No, which is why I could not sue them, because they were a private university. So public |
| 1:48.8 | universities and private universities do have different legal obligations with regard to viewpoint |
| 1:54.7 | discrimination on campuses. And you can see why, because let's say that you have a Christian |
