Trump Is WRONG About Chinese Students

(00:01.176)

Trump and the Chinese college students. I got a kick out of this part of the interview. I really did because I talked about this very thing on the podcast and man, man, did I, I got some heat from some of the listeners out there. You’re allowing all these Chinese people in and they’re all going to be spying on us and all this stuff. can’t allow this to happen. This is going to be terrible. Okay. Take a couple steps back. First and foremost, again,

Trump was woefully unprepared for this question. Woefully unprepared. And again, I basically can point to Suzy Wiles who needs to be fired. Okay. She needs to put a stop to these rapid fire interviews all the time. He’s not prepared. He’s not. Laura Ingram asks, as you have said, 600,000 Chinese students could come to the United States. Why is that a pro-maga position?

when so many American kids want to go to school. Trump, we do have a lot of people coming in from China. We always have. We have a massive system of colleges and universities. If we were to cut that in half, you would have half the colleges in the United States go out of business. In Ingram, so what? Trump, you would have historically black.

colleges and universities would be all out of business. again, this is Trump being woefully unprepared. How many Chinese students are going to Howard?

(01:42.286)

Again, he just throwing stuff out there because he doesn’t know. Which is something you don’t do. But he does all the time. Because again, he’s used to having his peeps, his followers, the MAGA types, whatever he says. Again, it’s Moses coming down the mountain. Anyway, you don’t want to cut half of the students from all over the world that are coming into our country and destroy our entire university and college system. MAGA was my idea.

I know what Maga wants better than anybody else. He actually said that. He actually said that. And the reality is Maga’s fuming over this.

The problem, okay, it’s much deeper than this, okay?

I understand Trump’s position here, believe it or not. I do. somebody got in his ear, again, you’re president, you a lot of things going on. Somebody got in his ear and said, hey, listen, this is gonna be an absolute disaster. It’s gonna be an absolute disaster for colleges and universities. Colleges are gonna get shut down. You’re gonna get blamed for it. People are gonna get put out of work within these various different communities. A point that I made here on the program. See, I, you know.

I could have handled this interview, no problem.

(03:04.693)

No problem. Again, I would be honest and I wouldn’t be taking his various different positions, but I get it. Now, the issue is with our entire hedge fund university system that we’ve been subsidizing going all the way back to LBJ. We have $1.7 trillion in student loan debt here in this country. It’s greater than the credit card debt. Okay? First and foremost, that started way, way back machine, LBJ.

If I was president, I would slowly be dismantling this entire grift. We’ve turned these schools into diploma mills.

It’s gross all around. It’s gross that the bloody college football and basketball coaches are the highest paid employees in the state. They get fired and they’re still walking away with $50 million pay packages. It’s funny. And it’s funny, it only works that way for colleges and universities. I was donating money trying to start up lacrosse programs. You try to do that. You know what happens? School’s like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can’t do that.

We’ll give you a little bit of money, but the money has to go through us and we decide where it goes. College football programs? No. The donors do whatever the hell they want. They want to buy a new coach, they’re going to buy a new coach. That money’s not going to any scholarships from kid who got some straight A’s in math. So let’s take all the bullshit and put it aside when it comes to colleges and universities. They are businesses. They’ve been so for some time. And yes, it needs to get dismantled, but it can’t be done overnight.

For all the people out there saying, what, like Laurie, so what, let all these colleges go out of business. You think that’s the right idea? You think that that’s gonna be a great point? And it’s not gonna be the big schools, it’s gonna start with all these little smaller institutions around the country. Also the point that’s made that so many American kids wanna go to college, not true. Not at these prices. Less and less.

(05:09.774)

kids are deciding to go to college. Again, you had to have a plan for this and it’s not a difficult thing to do. You start going to some of these schools, you start saying, hey, we’re gonna start turning you to jobs of tomorrow. We’re gonna start turning some of these smaller schools out there into trade schools to keep you in business. We’re gonna cut off all the student loan nonsense. You’re gonna have to get rid of administrators. Don’t destroy entire communities that have built themselves, whether it be with restaurants and…

barbershops and a myriad of other things that go into that entire ecosystem, there better ways of doing it.

(05:47.502)

Yeah, I’ve described this before. You you upset something in the sense where, you know, they’re gonna bathtub full of water. You drop a cinder block in that bath, you got to, water’s gonna go all over the damn place. All sorts of repercussions. And we’ve seen that already with some of the schools that have gone under. We talked about this here on the program. So you go to the college and you ever say, okay, you know, I don’t know what the exact number is. They keep throwing around 600,000. Guess what? Next year.

Next year, China, it’s going to only be 500,000. And you start decreasing it over time and you let the schools adjust.

Again, that’s how you answer the question in an intelligent manner. Okay. And he was going off and talking. Yeah. Laura talked about, well, why these are not French kids and France, French. We got more problems with France. They’ve been ripping us off with this, that, and the next thing he sounded like an idiot.

He really did. He soundly had no idea what in God’s creation he was talking about. Like some kid, you know, that’s doing a, you remember this back when you were in school. You had some kid that’s not prepared for their oral exam or oral project that they got to do in front of the class and they get up there and you just watch the BS flow. Well, that’s what this was.

He wasn’t prepared for this. But man, the guy’s got such a bloody big ego. He can’t resist.

(07:25.974)

He can’t resist, he gotta be in front of the camera. I get a phone call from some radio show or television show and they wanna ask me the nuances of some sort of tax law, okay, they want me on in the next hour, some tax law and I don’t have any idea. I’m like, no.

(07:48.414)

No. My people are like, oh, it’s crystal. A lot of people watch the show. I don’t know what I’m talking about when it comes to this. I’m not going to go on and do this. Nobody knows everything. But if these are your policies and the things that you’re putting forward, you know what? Maybe you should take a break. Take a break from the damn truth social. Take a break from all of the interviews that you do. But he can’t do it. He can’t help himself. He’s like an addict.

(08:17.208)

There’s a good explanation for this. I understand the point. But again, what is the follow through? Okay, yeah, right now, we don’t wanna destroy communities around the country. What we’re gonna do, we’re gonna slowly but surely bring that number down over time. And we’re gonna allow these colleges and universities to adjust. We’re gonna look to start changing the curriculum that some of these schools offer so we can bring more American kids into school because you gotta push back on all these points, but he doesn’t know.

I know.
