| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. |
| 0:12.6 | I will tell you this. |
| 0:14.4 | As the mother of a student in college and one on the way, |
| 0:19.1 | the Ivy League schools are not what they used to be. And you can thank my next |
| 0:23.5 | guest for that. As a member of the House Education Committee, she was the one who grilled those |
| 0:30.2 | three Ivy League presidents and two of them were unceremoniously basically kicked out of their jobs, two of those three lady presidents. |
| 0:41.0 | One is hanging on for dear life at MIT, but the presidents of Harvard and UPenn after |

| 1:56.7 | classrooms, take over universities. They started to physically assault, harass. I mean, the stories |
| 2:03.1 | from these American Jewish students are heartbreaking and really unimaginable that they were |
| 2:07.2 | happening in this country or anywhere around the world, frankly. |
| 2:10.2 | And they would think like at liberal schools, like Princeton, Columbia, Harvard, they would |
| 2:15.2 | be safe. But you said 70% of them, not only fear for their own safety, but felt like they had to hide |
| 2:21.7 | the fact that they were Jewish. |
