0:00.0 | Welcome back to the channel. I'm going to be talking about a few things in this video. I'm going to be talking about Trump, the media coverage of him, and in particular, a decision that was made Friday, 5 p.m., by the National Institutes of Health, to cap the indirect payments to universities at 15%, 15 cents on the dollar for NIH awards. This has created a load of controversy among academic researchers. |
0:22.9 | We're going to unpack that, and we're really going to get into the details of how universities run. |
0:27.7 | But first, Donald Trump. |
0:30.0 | Donald Trump has gotten under the skin of all the media outlets, and he is doing it marvelously. |
0:36.9 | They're taking the bait every time |
0:38.9 | he says anything. They're running it on the front page, losing their mind, suffering from a |
0:44.0 | derangement syndrome. He talked about Greenland and how he was going to acquire Greenland, and they |
0:47.9 | ran with that for day after day after day. Now, one week, two weeks later, they're not talking |

1:08.2 | They didn't vote for him. |
1:09.0 | They disagree with anything he does. |
1:12.6 | Whatever he says, they're going to say the opposite. We saw this happen before. It happened in the pandemic. |
1:14.6 | When he said reopened schools, they said actually schools are the most dangerous place you could ever send your child. |
1:20.6 | And COVID is the worst thing that could ever happen to them. |
1:22.6 | And that was a complete lie. |
1:23.6 | And so they did a load of damage by blindly opposing everything he says, and they're |
1:28.5 | falling for it yet again. And that relates to the main topic. The National Institutes of Health |
1:34.5 | announced on Friday that they're going to cap indirect payments to universities and other research |
1:41.1 | centers at 15 cents on the dollar, 15% rather than the exorbitant amounts |
