| 0:00.0 | When it comes to the college protesters, roiling America's campuses, and roiling America, more generally, it's time for Americans, and particularly their political class, to pick a side. |
| 0:10.2 | There are only two sides to this particular argument. |
| 0:13.2 | There's one side that despises America and despises the West, and there's one side that really likes America and likes the West. |
| 0:20.1 | And that binary decision is really not |
| 0:23.1 | particularly tough. And you can see it happening on college campuses all over America. So I want to |
| 0:28.6 | show you two clips right now. And you get to pick which side you think the American president |
| 0:33.7 | ought to stand on. And which side you think the American people ought to stand on? |
| 0:39.0 | So here is the first clip. The first clip is a UCLA protest spokesperson. UCLA is experiencing |
| 0:45.8 | massive protests. They've occupied the center of campus, all the places where I used to walk to class. |
| 0:50.5 | My wife used to walk to class. They've now occupied those. They're all wearing masks to hide their faces because they're not getting COVID outside. But this is the new uniform of the |

| 1:18.5 | Here was the UCLA process spokesperson explaining that the University of California is founded on colonialism and is a violent institution. |
| 1:29.3 | It's more than divestment as well. I think given the fact that the University of California is |
| 1:37.3 | founded on colonialism, it's inherently a violent institution. There needs to be an addressment of U.S. imperialism and it's ties to the U.C. system |
| 1:49.9 | and how it perpetuates war and violence abroad, not only abroad, but also here locally. |
| 1:57.2 | Hey, understand what they are saying here. |
| 1:59.2 | What they are saying here, the case they are making, is that the United States the case they are making is that the united states is bad when they say that the university of california is founded on colonialism what they really mean is that the united states is founded on colonialism and imperialism and exploitation and rape of the native peoples and all the rest of this garbage that's what what they mean. They mean the United States is bad. |
| 2:17.9 | When they say that what's happening in Gaza is connected to this, what they really mean is just |
| 2:22.3 | there is a coalition of people who are pseudo-oppressed, who are losers in life, who have now |
| 2:26.5 | decided that the American system, the Western system, meritocracy, are bad. Anybody who is successful |
