Tim discusses the Trump administration's war with Harvard over campus protests, argues that peaceful protesters shouldn't be deported over disciplinary crackdowns, and jokes about how unsympathetic Harvard students are as a PR matter.
- Trump is now in a war with Harvard and other Ivy League schools over their handling of Jewish students during the encampments.
- Tim met Harvard students during the encampments and found them anecdotally fine, not traumatized by the protest environment.
- One student's Brazilian girlfriend might get deported because Harvard is refusing to comply with Trump administration demands for records.
- Tim distinguishes between actual harm at protests—taking over buildings and assaulting people—versus just attending and chanting slogans.
- If a student yells 'from the river to the sea' in the quad to be seen at a party, should they be deported? Probably not.
- College students are young adults with ideas not fully formed, which is the point of attending college in the first place.
