And I watched Ami Horowitz's latest video, series Ami on the Loose.
And I usually have a lot of fun with Ami, because we do have a lot of fun.
But this video is so depressing.
I can't figure out how to make a joke there, Ami.
I don't know what to say.
You know, look, I oftentimes use a cute premise to highlight a very important underlying issue.
I can't think, frankly, of a more important underlying issue in this particular video.
And I'll walk through for the audience, and you've got to see the whole video, because you're really giving it word, and you can see it on DennisPrager.com, because explaining it does not...
You're not truly able to paint the picture of how terrible this is.
We all know that our freedom of expression, our freedom of speech has been under assault, right?
And I've asked myself this question, you've asked yourself this question, how could it be that such a fundamental piece of our democracy could be under assault?
And what I realized was because The left of our country, and a good portion, I hate to say, of our student body at universities are, in fact, members of the left.
Not liberals, of the left.
They have been taught no fidelity to our founding principles and documents.
And I wanted to prove that.
I wanted to show that not by me saying it.
And people say, yeah, I hear it all the time.
But is it really true?
So I went out to prove it.
And the way I did that was I had a hidden camera.
They didn't know I was filming them.
And I had a petition at Yale University.
Dennis, you've heard of Yale University?
It's in Connecticut.
It's a pretty good school.
Thank you.
No, no.
I take issue with you.
I heard of it, but it's not a pretty good school.
Fair enough.
Put it this way.
I couldn't get it.
Put it that way.
That's it.
I'm sorry, Ami.
It doesn't matter.
I know.
I know.
Okay, go on.
But still, you know, it always sits in your crawl.
You don't get to certain schools.
I couldn't get into any of the ivories.
But you're right.
At the end of the day, it actually makes absolutely no difference.
In fact, I probably have an advantage in terms of wisdom.
That's right.
Having not gone to a school like that.
Yep.
But one would figure, okay, it's Yale.
Now, they may not have wisdom.
They certainly have intellect, right?
That's fair.
And I had a petition to repeal...
The entire U.S. Constitution.
Obviously, you can't actually do that, but they're not smart enough to know that.
But I was asking them if they wanted to get rid, just trash, in whole, the entire U.S. Constitution.
And, you know, you've told me before, and this time I decided to put in the actual statistics of how many kids who I engage with signed this document, right?
And so I put in the video, 65% of all the kids who I engaged, Signed this petition.
And furthermore, of the 35% that didn't sign it, there wasn't a single student who looked at me and said, are you insane?
Are you the dumbest person in the world?
What are you doing?
Not one.
So let me explain this to everybody.
Repeating in my own words what Ami just told you, he went to the Yale University campus and asked students to sign a petition to repeal the U.S. Constitution.
So, again, your data, your statistic is 65% of the students you asked were willing to cite it.
