| The sums are beyond belief. | |
| Berkeley received a billion dollars last year. | |
| One school. | |
| How is that possible? | |
| I find that amazing. | |
| Well, and the idea that these are tax-free entities that endlessly are able to raise tuition, teach our kids to hate our country, and then continue to grow their asset pool as if they are a New York City-based hedge fund is incomprehensible to me. | |
| And I looked at that document from Berkeley. | |
| They are bragging that in one year, one fiscal year, they expanded their assets by $1 billion, mind you, while also continuing to have their students go endlessly into debt so they can learn how awful of a country that we live in. | |
| And that's just Berkeley. | |
| I mean, Harvard. | |
| has a $40 billion plus endowment. | |
| University of Texas Austin has a $30 billion plus endowment. | |
| Stanford has a $25 billion plus endowment. | |
| And at what point will conservative donors in particular say, they don't need my money and even worse than that, they're using my money to train the next generation of left-wing activists. | |
| That's why I said And I'm very touched that I triggered this idea, and I did not know that. | |
| I'm very touched, and I thank you. | |
| If there's anybody you would like to touch, it's you, because you then run with it and organize massive activity on its behalf. | |
| You are right. | |
| I want to just explain to my listeners the burning line. | |
| If you burned a million dollars, then a million dollars is gone. | |
| But it's not being used harmfully. | |
| But if you give money to 95% of the colleges of this country, it is being used harmfully. | |
| They will raise more angry, unhappy, bitter, anti-American people. | |
| And then parents wonder, what happened to my child? | |
| Well, why did you give $100,000 to XYZ University? | |
| That's exactly right. | |
| And Dennis, the one thing about burning the money, at least you get the utility of a short-term spurt of warmth. | |
| Unlike if you give it to university, it does nothing of a utility. | |
| And I say that, of course, you know, sarcastic. | |
| No, no, it's not sarcastic. | |
| You really got it, my friend. | |
| All right, so I want to hear what people should do. | |
| Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA and the new movement Divest You. |
