Key Insights

Why is the left-wing British government considered an enemy of America?

The left-wing British government, through organizations like the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), has been actively censoring American speech, influencing U.S. elections, and collaborating with U.S. government officials to suppress free speech.

What is Trump's plan to address woke universities?

Trump plans to target the radical left accreditation system, purge Marxist DEI bureaucrats, and prosecute institutions that continue pushing racial discrimination, potentially taxing their endowments and using funds as restitution for victims.

Why are some people skeptical of Trump's appointments, particularly Marco Rubio?

Marco Rubio is seen as a neocon who supports amnesty for illegals, NATO intervention, and military action in Iran, which contradicts Trump's America First agenda and his promises of a restrained foreign policy.

How does the modern university system contribute to political polarization?

Modern universities prioritize Marxist-influenced fields and career preparation over genuine intellectual and spiritual development, churning out graduates who are more susceptible to government and expert propaganda, leading to a morally compromised and politically polarized society.

What are the concerns about Lee Zeldin's appointment as EPA head?

Lee Zeldin is part of the climate cult and supports carbon pricing, which is seen as a globalist push to disempower the masses, burden consumers, and give governments more control over industries without significantly impacting global temperatures.

Why do some voters support both AOC and Trump?

Voters see both AOC and Trump as anti-establishment figures who promise to fight the rot in government, despite their differing agendas. They are perceived as disruptive forces against the political machine.

What is Joy Reid's argument about identity politics?

Joy Reid argues that identity politics is not the problem for Democrats, claiming that it was Trump and his running mate who focused on identity politics, not Kamala Harris or Democrats.

What is the significance of Tom Homan's appointment as border czar?

Tom Homan's appointment is significant because he is seen as competent and knowledgeable about immigration law, which contrasts with the views of The View hosts who oppose his hardline stance on deportations.

Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. The left-wing British government is exposed as an enemy of America. The view flips out over Trump's very based new borders are. Trump appoints a climate cultist to head the EPA. Neocon Marco Rubio is set to be appointed as Secretary of State. AOC asked her constituents why they voted for her

and Trump, Joy Reid defends identity politics, and why I'm skeptical of Trump's plan to tackle woke universities. All this on Bongina Report, early edition. If you're a foreign U.S. ally, you're undermining America's First Amendment, and you're meddling in our elections, you actually are not, in fact, America's ally. You are our enemy.

And Britain, or at least the current party, the left-wing party in charge of Britain, is an enemy of the American people. Per a report from the Foundation for Freedom Online, run by Mike Benz, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, the CCDH, a UK non-profit with deep ties to British politics, has been exposed for its agenda to, quote, kill Musk's Twitter.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate, founded by Morgan McSweeney, chief advisor to left-wing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is not an impartial organization as it bills itself to be. Instead, it is a tool of British statecraft aimed at attacking Starmer's political enemies, particularly Americans.

the left-wing populist supporting former labor leader jeremy corbyn and now the ccdh's influence has crept across the atlantic where it's meddling in u.s politics by reportedly supporting kamala harris during the campaign in key battleground states but the ccdh's ambitions go beyond just this mere partnership ccdh launched an infamous disinformation dozen hit list

which called for banning prominent COVID skeptics during, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on social media. And this was a tactic that has quickly gained the support of the Biden White House of the permanent state at large. And CeCe

ADH's tentacles now reach into the American government with figures like Adam Schiff, Amy Klobuchar, and even former CIA, NSA, and Pentagon officials giving this British organization a disturbing level of influence here in the United States.

So basically, a political arm of the British left-wing government is dictating, or was at least dictating, what Americans can and cannot say online and influencing our elections.

It's funny how you never hear about the UK being an example of foreign malign influence because the permanent state is giving the Brits that influence. They want them to be annihilating freedom here in the United States. Per the Foundation for Freedom Online, CCDH's reach is sinisterly multifaceted, stretching from the State Department to Silicon Valley. And behind the scenes,

CCDH maintains influential allies such as Damien Collins and ex-M16 agent Christopher Steele, the infamous Steele dossier man. And this powerful network enables CCDH to infiltrate both U.S. and U.K. political spheres.

pushing an agenda of censorship, cloaked, of course, in this language of safety and anti-hate. You guys know what it's about. And is this probably going to continue under a Trump admin? No, it is not. Trump fights, is going to fight this curtailment of free speech, tooth and nail.

But it's interesting to point out because we're always hearing about this idea of formal influence, this idea that other governments are coming in and impacting our elections or trying to undermine America. And we never see Britain on that list.

and i really don't care what america's history is with britain this is not how allies behave america and the british have a history that predates world war ii we fought a revolution to free ourselves from their tyranny drop a comment yes or no but i'm pretty sure everyone at ccdh and the left-wing british government needs to be tarred and feathered for trying to annihilate american freedoms at the very least

I think the British government is going to have a rocky relationship with the incoming Trump admin. And so does the leader of the Conservative Party in the UK. Take a listen. As leader of His Majesty's opposition, I will be taking a different approach to the last opposition by being a constructive opposition. And so I would like to start by congratulating President-elect Trump on his impressive victory this morning.

The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary met him in September. Did the Foreign Secretary take that opportunity to apologise for making derogatory and scatological references, including, and I quote, "Trump is not only a woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath, he is also a profound threat to the international order." And if he did not apologise, will the Prime Minister do so now on his behalf? The Foreign Secretary and I did meet President-elect Trump just a few weeks ago for dinner for about a couple of hours.

discussed a number of issues of global significance. It was a very constructive exercise.

That was an awesome soundbite. I hope that she's in charge of the UK government soon, but this is just not going to be a good partnership with the Trump admin. I hope Trump gives them what they deserve. Also, Michael just pointed out that I said M16, not MI6. Yes, I'm so sorry, you guys. It's the morning. I'm tired. I'm reading off of my notes, and my bad. But yes, as far as I'm concerned, Keir Starmer and his government

are as much of America's ally as Xi Jinping. Seriously, this is a ridiculous, ridiculous thing. We're going to take a quick break, but when we come back, we are going to cover a story from across the pond here in America. The view is, of course, losing their minds. I asked my friends at Tax Network USA about this IRS crackdown everyone's talking about.

Their advice? If you owe back taxes, don't gamble with the IRS. It's a no-win. That's why you need Tax Network USA on your side. Their attorneys and expert negotiators employ aggressive strategies to help settle your IRS issues quickly and in your favor, even if you haven't filed in 1, 5, or 10 years.

You all know the IRS is creating an army of agents to take even more of our money to pay for illegal migrants and billions in foreign aid. But Tax Network USA is a patriotic company that has our backs. What gives Tax Network USA the edge? Their preferred direct line to the IRS.

They know which agents to talk to and which to avoid, and they won't back down until they secure the best settlement for you, which could save you thousands. That's how they've helped resolve over $1 billion in tax debt for people just like you. Don't wait until the IRS closes in. Give Tax Network USA a call. It's free. Talk with one of their strategists and see how they can help.

Now, across the pond, The View hosts are absolutely losing their minds over Donald Trump's new border czar selection, Tom Homan.

Take a listen. You realize, I mean it's chilling what he just said. You realize that when he says yes, families can be deported together, what he is saying is that U.S. citizens can be deported. What he is saying is if the parent is undocumented and they have U.S. citizen children or U.S. citizen spouse and you don't want to separate them, then let's deport the U.S. citizens.

Yeah, so US citizens cannot be deported. She is just lying in that soundbite.

And if the ladies of The View are mad, that's how you know this is going to be good. Here is an incredible Tom Homan exchange with AOC. And I want you to watch how he just leaves her completely speechless at the end. She has to end her interrogation of him. The recommendation of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation. I recommended zero tolerance.

which includes family separation. The same as is with every US citizen parent gets arrested when they're with a child. Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their parents. If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in a car, I will be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that father from his family. Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime.

When you enter the country illegally, it's violation 8 United States Code 1325. Seeking asylum is legal. If you want to seek asylum and go through the port of entry, do it the legal way. The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear. Okay.

She can't even respond. I mean, he's so great. He's competent. He's smooth. He's quick. He knows the law. And he's not going to let them get away with basically facilitating an entire mass illegal immigration crisis in our country under the guise of it being humanitarian.

She couldn't even respond to him. He's right. If you commit a crime, you get in trouble. You get separated from your family. If you commit the crime of coming to this country illegally, you unfortunately risk being separated from your family. There are consequences to doing illegal things like coming into this country illegally. And again, I refuse to hear cries and complaints about deportations when Democrats are facilitating a human trafficking crisis at the border.

a child sex trafficking crisis at the border tom holman and potential uh pick stephen miller i believe for deputy you should look that up i believe it's deputy chief of staff those are the two appointments that have me excited about this new admin and unfortunately they are the only appointments that i am excited deputy chief of staff deputy chief of staff for policy so he's a great guy

Stephen Miller excited about that. I hope that happens. Tom Homan was a great pick. Unfortunately, they're the only people that so far I am excited about. It's incredibly essential that we hold this Trump transition team accountable, that we hold Donald Trump accountable. Trump has picked Lee Zeldin to head the Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA. And Zeldin, very notably, does not

does not oppose the climate cult and don't let anyone tell you that he does. Take a listen. We solved the whole Middle East thing in two episodes. The first congressional district of New York is unique in that it's almost completely surrounded by water. We were greatly impacted by Superstorm Sandy. So the threat is very real for this congressional district. I mean, do you think it would be helpful for us to

emphasize conservative market-driven solutions. Would that help you? Oh, absolutely. I think that there is more of an awareness and a willingness to recognize that climate change is real and that Congress is more and more open-minded towards identifying those solutions.

Zeldin is a part of the climate cult. In Congress, he was part of the conservative climate caucus. And a prerequisite to joining that caucus is that you subscribe to the official narrative around climate change. And the caucus also participates annually in the UN climate change conferences. I don't know, drop a comment if you guys agree, but I think that

Really, we should not have any members of Congress participating in these UN conferences that are aimed at really annihilating freedom in the entire West, of economically destroying the West by destroying the middle class and powering

corporations only. So that was a really big red flag for me. According to investigative journalist Whitney Webb, the caucus also supports carbon pricing, which is putting a price on carbon and wants big oil and big gas to lead on curbing emissions.

And a lot of people don't realize this, but big oil and big gas companies are actually major advocates for a carbon tax and carbon emissions trading. These are government-imposed financial burdens that aim to restrict energy use and control behavior in the name of addressing so-called climate change. And carbon pricing...

is again part of this globalist push to disempower the masses. It's costly, it's ineffective, and it's designed to limit economic freedom, burden consumers, and give governments more control over industries without even significantly impacting global temperatures, if they impact them at all. This is not about the climate.

It's a way to annihilate small businesses who don't have the lawyers and the money to maneuver carbon markets. Here's Tucker Carlson explaining. Let's say you believed every, quote, piece of science or scientific claim about global climate change. You would not reach the same policy conclusions. You'd be like, well, the first thing we need to do is ban private air travel because obviously that doesn't make any sense. And then the second thing we need to do is, you know, whatever. You'd look at it rationally from a scientific, if you bought the premise, which I don't, but if you did, you would.

That no, you go through every climate quote climate demand. Not one of them disempowers large organizations, whether it's NGOs or the government of the United States. Not one of them. They all make the government more powerful and they all make you less powerful. So that's when you know it's not really about the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. It's about making them more powerful and disempowering you. And and Lee Zeldin supports that.

From what I know about Mr. Carbon Credit Lee Zeldin, this is a bad, bad pick.

And then we found out that Trump is likely to pick Marco Rubio as his Secretary of State. Now, Marco Rubio has supported amnesty for illegals. He is a NATO lover who supported military intervention in Syria and regime change in Iran. Here's Marco on Iran. If you cross this threshold, you will face military action on the part of the United States. We don't want that to happen. But the risk of a nuclear Iran is so great that that option must be on the table. So if it came to that,

you would, that would be an option that you would actually... Absolutely. Peachy Keenan run on ex Rubio? Was Hillary available? Which is, which is very funny, very peachy Keenan. But it's true. Here's Tulsi Gabbard denouncing Marco Rubio just a few months ago as part of the neocon warmongering establishment. And that's a quote.

I think it would be a huge mistake for President Trump to choose him because he represents the neocon warmongering establishment of Washington DC which which

stands diametrically opposed to the very policies that President Trump has always stood for, going all the way back to when he ran for president in 2016 through that first term in office and the things that he's talking about wanting to do now. And it would just, it would send the wrong message to a lot of folks who are

very concerned about the fact that we are on the brink of war with Russia and China and Iran and North Korea if Marco Rubio is his vice president then that is That is what we will face and it will cause a lot of people to question What kind of foreign policy will actually be executed will be the one that Trump wants and stands for or will it be one that will continue the deep state neocon warmongers Who've gotten us into the mess that we are in now?

Now, obviously, if she was talking about Trump considering Marco Rubio for vice president, I don't know. Arguably, Secretary of State is more dangerous. Having him in that position, in charge of foreign policy at such a high level. And this really feels like a slap in the face to voters. The bad personnel really appears to be back. Rubio's rhetoric about Iran is hawkish and it's dangerous.

We need a restrained foreign policy where America focuses on domestic issues rather than getting entangled in foreign conflicts that don't directly benefit national security here at home. As Thomas Jefferson said, "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all, entangling alliances with none." Trump is installing very hot-headed individuals into his admin.

Florida Congressman Michael Walsh has reportedly been

rumored to be Trump's new national security advisor. He's set to pick Michael Walsh. Now, first, Walsh is another neocon who supports regime change in Iran, not to mention that we need Walsh in the House. We won't have a replacement for him in the critical first few days, first potentially 100 days of Trump being in office. It'll trigger a special election.

And from the point that he's actually confirmed, then we'll get the special election. So we essentially lose his vote in a really critical time period of the Trump admin. When we have the House, we have the Senate, we have the executive, and we're going to push as much legislation as we can as quickly as possible. And we don't have his vote.

And we're also going to lose Elise Stefanik. We're going to have a special election for Elise Stefanik, who was nominated to ambassador of the UN. And Elise Stefanik is another war hawk. Both she and Waltz

supported initial Ukraine spending packages and regime change in the Middle East. After January 6th, Elise Stefanik said that she was scared and hiding in her office and called for Jay Sixers to be prosecuted, and this is a quote, to the full extent of the law. And here's another quote. She described January Sixers as violent criminals. Stefanik and Waltz both voted to reauthorize warrantless surveillance on American citizens via FISA Section 702.

Let me just restate that. Elise Stefanik and Michael Waltz both voted to reauthorize a part of a law that brazenly violates the Constitution. So not only are we sacrificing our razor-thin margin in the House, but we're installing neocons in the Cabinet. If this is winning with Trump, I think I prefer losing. And it's a betrayal to the voters. We went with Trump because he promised to be America first. Dave Smith tweeted on November 8th,

Right now, we need a maximum pressure to keep all neocons and war hawks out of the Trump administration. They have had their time at the table and brought nothing but disaster to the world and this country. And then Don Jr. responded, agreed 100%. I'm on it. Are you on it, Don? This is on it? Remember what Trump used to sound like. Like, let's do a little reminder.

of OG Donald Trump. - When Donald Trump was running in 2016, you know, he stood at the Republican primary debate stage in South Carolina and looked at Jeb Bush in the eyes and said, "Your brother lied us into war." - Obviously, the war in Iraq is a big, fat mistake. We spent $2 trillion, thousands of lives,

We don't even have it. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East. They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There was none and they knew there were none. And the next day at the primary, Donald Trump took 60% and all the other Republicans, all 12 of them split the other 40%. I'm seeing a lot of comments, people disagreeing, saying, let's see how they do. Let's give them a chance. I think when people tell you who they are, you should believe them. I think we know how a lot of these people

are going to behave because they've already behaved badly. They've already told us where their alliances are. And it's not America first. And I'm not going to sit here and pretend like this is looking good. And I'm not saying that there's no hope for this Trump admin and I'd rather Kamala Harris win. That's a ridiculous statement. No, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that we, us, in this chat, part of Bongino Army, we need to put the pressure on the Trump admin and make our voices heard.

It worked with Mike Pompeo. It worked with Nikki Haley. We have to be proactive and let the Trump admin know where we stand in this critical time period. It's not about turning on Trump. It's not about throwing in the towel. I'm telling you this because I don't want to throw on the towel because I want this to be a successful administration that delivers to the voters. We can't have the president who ran on ending the neocons installing neocons in his cabinet.

I even think about all the Muslim voters in Dearborn, Michigan who voted for Trump on the promise that he'd bring peace to the Middle East. Were they just lied to? Tulsi's right when she says that Trump has an opportunity right now to be pro-peace after years of warmongering, after years of really bad people controlling the Republican Party. Is he picking the American people or is he picking the defense contractors and foreign lobbies? It seems like now he's picking Trump.

the contractors in the foreign lobby over the American people. And I hope that's not the case. And it's our job to put the pressure on him. Now, AOC did an Instagram story asking her constituents why so many of them voted for her and then also voted for Donald Trump. Here is a breakdown of the responses that AOC got.

And the responses were fascinating. People who support both Trump and me or voted Trump Dem tell us why. She wasn't the choice of the people, no primary, couldn't interview, no clear policies. I voted for Trump and then Dems because he reached out to Muslims. Oh, you know, who could have predicted that? I voted all Dem, but Dem, you guys make it so hard. I think I identify more with you and Bernie. Oh, look, because of Gaza.

it's real simple trump and you care for the working class well trump doesn't but that's besides the point right now trump is gonna get us the money and let men have a voice you're brilliant have amazing passion yeah sure but let's just keep pretending that democrats aren't alienating men we can just keep pretending that but want it changed so i went with trump and blew for the rest of the ballot to put some breaks i feel like you and trump are both real

"Voted for Trump, but I like you and Bernie. I don't trust either party establishment." "Action and progress or stagnation and excuses. Both of you push the boundaries and force growth." "I feel that both of you are outsiders compared to the rest of the DC establishment." "I know people who did this and it was because of Gaza. I supported you and did this. I felt like I didn't have a choice after Biden's administration."

Voted for Trump and you, not genocide Harris. Dems need Bernie. He speaks of war as something that is bad. Democrats became the party that supports war. But you also signify change. Trump signified change. I've said lately, Trump sounds more like you. And it goes on and on and on. So the consensus that I really got from that was that people view Trump as anti-establishment. No right wingers

went for Trump because he was the voice of the permanent state and no non-right wingers went for that either. Trump promised to be pro-peace. He promised to be a disruptive force. And the people on both sides of the political aisle like that. Both sides recognize that there is a rot in our government and they said AOC is going to fight the rot. Trump's going to fight the rot. They're wildly different people with different agendas, but

Apparently, a lot of them said, we're going to vote for them together. And it's a fascinating thing. Like AOC, Trump promised that he was on the side of the people, not the machine. And unfortunately, this is why I'm talking to you about the appointments that we're seeing or potential appointments.

The admin is only as good as the personnel. Trump can be Superman. He can be the greatest president of all time, but if he installs people who will work against him in his own administration, the America First agenda is going to lose. He will not be effective. He needs good people surrounding him.

And all I can say is that if we continue down this path, it really is a betrayal to all voters, especially the ones who usually vote Democrat, but who really believed in Trump and took a chance on him. Trump needs to deliver for all of us. And there's still a chance to do it. I'm not blackpilling you guys. But we need to be putting pressure on the admin and making our desires very clear. Now, not all Democrats are being as introspective as AOC. Here is Joy Reid.

The idea that identity politics was the problem for Democrats is laughable, considering it wasn't Vice President Kamala Harris who relentlessly focused on race or gender, either her own or anyone else's. That would be Donald Trump. In fact, it was Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, who ran an identity politics entire campaign focused on men.

They have an identity too, you know? I mean, Trump did walk out to the song, It's a Man's World at the Republican convention. And again, all the focus on identity politics came from Trump and Vance, not Democrats. Yeah, Trump and Vance are the pushers of identity politics. This woman is going to single handedly kill her own party. I hope that they never ever fire her. Here's the thing.

You're probably going to hear a lot about that argument coming from the left. I've heard it a few times from different people other than Joy Reid. Kamala Harris did actually run on her race and sex, first of all, but also we have to recognize that

that she was explicitly picked for her role as vice president because of her race and sex and the reason she was able to run as president is because she was vice president she was elevated to a position of extreme power based on her race and based on her sex democrats

purposely did not pick the most qualified candidate and it turns out that the voters don't reward you for checking diversity boxes they go for who they perceive as the best candidate for the job and that's just common sense so joy read you're wrong you did lose because of any politics even at if you're at its most basic level that you picked a candidate because of her race and sex

is enough to say that identity politics failed with this election because Kamala Harris was such a disaster, was such a bad, bad candidate that not even Democrats in AOC's district were willing to vote for her. And the place where all this racist DEI is originating from is, of course, the university system where the American gentry class goes to get poisoned.

the taxpayers subsidize institutions that are churning out race marxists who promote diversity boxes over merit hate american christian maurice and who consistently vote to support the left commonwealth harris won college-educated voters by 13 points and there's this perception that if you go to college you're smarter than everyone else

Or at least you should be smarter than everybody else, and the reality is that that's just not true. In fact, college-educated Americans are more susceptible to government and expert propaganda, and they've been warped by a cancerous ideology rooted in progressive political activism over truth-seeking. And Trump has a plan to combat the universities.

And I'm intrigued by it. I would love your thoughts in the comments. I'm going to be honest with you. I appreciate the effort. I'm not sure it's going to be effective, but let me just tell you what he's planning. Trump announced that he will target the radical left accreditation system and purge the Marxist DEI bureaucrats. Here is Trump vowing to unleash the DOJ and prosecute institutions that continue pushing racial discrimination.

Furthermore, I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination and schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment.

A portion of the SEAS funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies, policies that hurt our country so badly. Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from hardworking taxpayers, and now we are going to get this anti-American insanity out of our institutions once and for all. We are going to have real education in America. Thank you.

So all that sounds great. The universities, as Trump alluded to, they are continuing affirmative action despite the Supreme Court decision, and they need to be punished. Hit them where it hurts, which is the wallet. DEI bureaucrats make college more expensive. They inhibit learning, and I'd be happy to see all of them go. The thing is...

that I don't think, unfortunately, you can strong-arm the universities into genuinely reforming because the rot within them is far too deep. For centuries, universities were Christian. During the Middle Ages, the primary purpose of an education was learning to understand and interpret religious texts, especially the Bible.

classical curriculum included the trivium grammar rhetoric and logic and the quadrivium arithmetic geometry music and astronomy the trivium provided a foundation in language necessary for understanding sacred texts while the quadrivium offered a mathematical approach to understanding god's creation in other words education was deeply philosophical and intended to cultivate virtue

Today, modern education prioritizes fields of study rooted in Marxism, like fast studies and queer studies. And then of course, they prioritize career preparation. But medieval learning focus on cultivating the soul fit for communion with God. Christ is the truth. And without Christ, you cannot pursue the truth. And in fact, there is no pursuit of truth in modern universities. As Theodore Roosevelt once said,

To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society. And that is what we have done with the entire swath of college-educated individuals in this country. Just look at how they voted. So all this is to say that universities, even the supposedly religious ones, are in a spiritual crisis. That is the root of the rot. That is the root of the problem.

and the root of the corruption. And frankly, what the Trump admin should do is, yes, prosecute them for breaking the law and being discriminatory. That's totally fine with me. But other than that, I think they should completely disassociate from these institutions and student loans, which, by the way, drives up the cost of education and all of the grants and all of the federal, of the state funding to these corrupted schools.

and the government's involvement in the accreditation system in general. Don't just fire the DEI people, just get rid of it. Get rid of the government's involvement in accreditation. Accreditation does not evaluate institutions on their ability to foster genuine intellectual and spiritual development. It's about jobs. And that's great for trade school, but what American universities need is to replace our illiterate, decadent gentry class with a moral one.

and step one is preventing the taxpayers from funding and fueling our university's bad behavior no money or entanglements with these institutions no more government involvement in accreditation free the taxpayers from funding these entrenched poisonous schools and leave them vulnerable to the market because none of this is going to be fixed by the government strong arming the schools the rod is too deep it's better that we just disassociate and as i was

Reflecting on medieval education yesterday, I thought a lot about how intentions really matter. It's not just what we do, but why we do it. What are the priorities that shape our actions? And education is only fulfilling when it's rooted in a genuine love of learning and a sincere pursuit of the truth, the divine truth.

And God blesses those who are authentic and pure in their endeavors. This is how I feel about Trump's transition. What are the intentions here? Is the presidency more than just a vanity project for various bureaucrats and anybody associated with Trump? Or is it about genuinely working to deliver for the people who put their trust in Trump? Trump owes his victory to the people who elected him.

like the people in AOC's district who took a chance on him. He doesn't owe his victory to defense contractors or foreign governments or the deep state. We are his employers. We put him in office and he made promises to us. So who's guiding Trump? What are his true intentions? Because based on the personnel choices so far, say for Holman, I'm not seeing his actions aligned with the principles that he campaigned on. I'm open to it changing and I hope that it does.

But I'm concerned. We have a once-in-a-century opportunity to challenge the oppressive state, to diminish its control over our lives, and to promote peace and America's interests rather than costly foreign entanglements that have nothing to do with us. And if these appointments continue to be bad, Trump risks going down as a disappointment. And I don't want that. None of us do.

I don't want to discourage any of you because again, I'm still hopeful. I desperately want this admin to deliver on the promises that Trump made, which is why I'm sharing my thoughts. We have to keep the pressure on the admin. Let Trump know that you're dissatisfied with bad appointments. We need better personnel, people who reflect the values that Trump promised us. And if Trump wants to go down in history as the greatest president in the United States, which I think he can do, he needs to answer the people.

As Confucius said, the superior man is concerned with the truth of the thing, not with its appearance. If you act with sincerity and authenticity, your aims will align with success. So with that, I say, deliver for us, Trump. Never forget who you work for. And that's all I have for you guys today.
