Universities have massive endowments and are ideologically beholden to their staff and administration. They have become a toxic echo chamber and activists
I was very lucky having had fantastic professors in middle and high school in Nairobi, Kenya, and later at university in South Africa. I include here what I had written on the behalf of one of them, being most unusual in the academic environment at that time, but I would say for now. PRAISE TO A "TEACHER" (The sixth and final year at the "Prince of Wales" boarding school, Nairobi, Kenya. Year 1957) We waited for our "Literature" teacher at class time. When he finally arrived, he apologized for being late and he said he was in a meeting to explain a new idea of his. He told us that he had decided to stop teaching us the usual texts. We were left speechless! To our perplexities, instead of giving explanations, he asked two questions ... At the rows to his right, he asked which of us knew Karl Marx ……. after the surprise, one asked where this person lived. At the rows to his left, he asked who knew Adam Smith …... one immediately asked if this guy was English or American. Rubbing his chin, he just said "oh!" Then he went on to tell us that he understood of our ignorance, despite of our intelligence. He pointed out that by the end of the year, many of us would be going to university or other destinations, and we knew very little about the current situation in the world. (For example, that in the previous year there was an invasion of Budapest by Russian tanks.) "My job will be to teach you how to learn on your own, and I will follow you throughout the term." Then, pointing his finger at me, he said "John*, you will be the coordinator of your half and you will go to the library to research all about Karl Marx." Pointing his finger at Bill* on the left, he told him, that he will be the coordinator of the other half to research all about Adam Smith. Every week we should notify him about our results or problems. In the fifth week, he checked if we had enough knowledge to present what we had found, and with our positive response, a new surprise arrived. "You will have to convince the other group of the validity of what is proposed in YOUR research, compared to the OTHER." I therefore asked him the question ... "How can we compare our research vs theirs if we don't know what the other is proposing?" He just replied ... "John, you're on the right track, get busy, and let me know when you are ready!" Our group, after another four weeks, advised that we were ready, while the other asked for the following week. (If they had spent that week to find the negative points proposed by K.M. (as we did for A.S.) the result would have certainly changed. Updated 2019) The presentation was very interesting, having given a part, to each student in the group the task of presenting it, and Bill did the same. The group won for the presentation for Karl Marx! ( Privately, I asked the teacher why he had chosen ME to propose Karl Marx, since after studying both ideas, I preferred those of Adam Smith. His reply was that he expected this of me, because I always used logic and not emotions as many do, and wished me not to change in the future. But we also learned from this teacher that one should always be open to listening to all the points made by others, and only then evaluate. )

Vance is dead on...I've been witnessing this sick trend in universities all my academic life. It has bled into most State institutions and now even corporate America.
Yes Marc. Ackman at Harvard finally figured this out just 1 year ago. When I was in high school, 50+ years ago, I was saying that people pay money to send their children to college so they can hate America, hate their parents, and hate God. Then have watched this stupidity for decades. I am encouraged that JD gave this speech, touch of Reagan in terms of saying truths in public that are obvious but others are afraid to say.
@@l.w.paradis2108- One of the problems with the present corporate structure is that either hiring or presentations off people too be hired is in the hands of people with degrees in "human resources".

Universities train engineers, surgeons + many other valuable professionals. They help people change careers, learn languages, create new technologies, build & maintain infrastructure. They provide the opportunity for people from different backgrounds to learn about each other's experiences and exchange ideas. Universities aren't perfect but they are very vital.
Attacking a université is attacking knowledge of advancement which Republicans don't want because they want to control you if you don't have knowledge to think.
You missed the point. The suggestion isn’t that the universities never do anything of any value. Rather, that universities been captured by an insulated, elitist zeitgeist that’s opposed to the interests of most Americans. In the name of social justice, they fray society and signal their virtue, without actually helping real people in need. In the name of science, they discard data about a global pandemic to push their political agenda instead. To a large majority of students, college doesn’t equip them with the skills to succeed in life, but rather saddles them with debt for a job that could be done by someone without a degree.
Wait! Some of us are not the enemy, but we are under attack if our conservative views become known to our colleagues or the university administrators. Pray for us.
WE can fully empathize you in your situation. I (Elisa) used to teach at a university in Canada but was cancelled because of the complaints of woke students. But I am happy, and my husband and I are thriving. If God is for us, who can be against us? We have proven God's fsithfulness as we went through the difficulties as a result of the cancellation. But I am so grateful for the change. We are doing business now. 😊🎉❤ #cancelwokeuniversities
"When they came for me, there was no one left to speak." I have refused or deep sixed million dollar opportunities because I refused to mince my words, and would not align with values I despised. I currently live in a working class, semi rural neighborhood, and have no debt, but do not use credit. I have worked 80+ hour weeks for years, and since I refuse to participate in grift, I have little to show for my efforts. And I sleep like a baby, have my family and friend's unqualified respect, and have few regrets. All of that is due to many things, but what put me over the line, in my 20s, was reading The Gulag Archipelago. If you are not willing to sacrifice anything for your principles, they are not principles, and society will decay and be destroyed by tyrants. Trump can't save us. He is the boy with his finger in the dam. We have to rebuild the dam, once the rains slow down, otherwise the dam will break the next time it rains. And these folks have a lot of rainmakers.
Jesus is not real. Dead people do not come back to life. Greek mythology had epic poems of gods falling in love with human virgins and producing offspring. When the voice of God says, "YOu are my son," That is ripped off from Greek mythology. Vance has just found Jesus. He was just baptized as a symbol to Leonard Leo, who thinks America needs to return to Christian values and the worship of Jesus Christ the Savior. And the Truth is, Jesus is a Myth and Leo is using "religions that have been proven wrong" to fool Dims like J. D. Vance. (Along with millions of dollars.)
Comments rejecting Vance's message ignore the full impact of the academic world in its totality. Yes, the universities train engineers and surgeons. BUT, that is only a selected facet of universities. In totality, universities transmit values. And, their academic values are foundational content in many majors: English, philosophy, history, sociology, law, feminism...and on! Gender confusion, BLM, WOKE, atheism...and on!

Amen. I learned the hard way. I drank the kool-aid and ended up with 2 worthless degrees. One B.A. and one M.F.A. The depression and axiety I suffered when I realized that I had painted myself into a corner. The betrayal was real. Mr. Vance you are a breath of fresh air. Bravo!

It's very interesting to listen to because every sentence he says contains a logical fallacy, and many statements contain multiple logical fallacies. That's why he wants people to avoid getting an education so they will not notice things like that. This is a wonderful speech to give to the students as homework to identify all logical fallacies in the speech.
I would disagree about logical fallacies at least within the first 9 minutes I've gone through so far. I think many issues he raises about how current mindset in Academia, mainly starting with its "leadership" ( who are typically not scientists, or not acclaimed scientists), work should undergo scrutiny for suppressing free speech and freedom of opinion. However, I would point out to the hypocrisy - if you are going to scrutinize the university and essentially demonize them, instead of perhaps, improving their policies and returning to more accepting and open conduct, why not to mention mass media, both left-leaning and, in particular, right-wing and conservative, and your own (JD Vance's) Republican Party! Otherwise, it sounds just like what it really is - an attack on Higher Education and Education in general. Unfortunately, I only hear underlying division and hate in his speech...
@@chrizastenium Hasty Generalization: Asserts that all universities are "very hostile institutions" without providing sufficient evidence to support this sweeping claim. Appeal to Probability: Assumes that universities control all knowledge and falsity because it would likely be the case. False Dilemma (Black-and-White Thinking): Presents a binary choice of either attacking universities or failing to achieve goals, ignoring other potential solutions. Non Sequitur: Assumes that universities control knowledge in society without providing a logical basis for this conclusion. I can continue. There are a few fallacies in most of the sentences. The funniest part is that HE got two worthless degrees for undergrad and then went to Yale Law School.
This was my introduction to Vance, and there was literally nothing that he said I could disagree with. And I am a 40+ year veteran of a prestigious public university. But in critiquing the decaying university, I think a distinction has to be made between the rot going on in humanities, and the really significant and good work our colleagues in the sciences are doing. And, by the way, the university counts on those departments paying their own bills by research grants its distinguished faculty routinely get and deserve. There are, to be sure, good people in the humanities who care deeply about teaching and honest "critical thinking," but then ... the -isms. In short, I think Mr. Vance was an excellent choice and I am impressed with him, He speaks as articulately as any Yale Professor.
Extraordinary.. A future leader who cares deeply about science, scientific research, innovation.. Hopefully the young generation of America is truly motivated to continue to be the best
Shadow banning and comment suppression. 4 other ppl were shadow banned. Probably said something on a legacy media video / channel about the election or C-VlD
So happy for your calling! I was an educator at two Universities, one in Texas and one in Utah. I loved my job and my students. Today, is another angry group of students. I don't understand their anger against Jewish students! How did that happen while we all watched? Truth and knowledge take a stand in the background, and those thoughts keep me awake at night. I resort to prayers. Education could be a great place to bring truths by studying history and bringing forth the political swings that keep us in fear. God bless. Heidi H. Treharne
Over the last 40 years Liberal Jews liked power so they allowed "utopians" to replace the "free market of ideas" with brainwashing ,"compliance" of thought. In Canada, the situation is even worse.
The protestors are furious about the Israel GENOCIDE! NETANYAHU says he's the Prime minister of not only Israelis but all Jews around the world! He's causing the rise of antisemitism by saying he represents all Jews! He's a facist mass murdering ductator who lies shamelessly. Thats his Zionist ideology which has nothing to do with Judeism but you can't blame protestors for conflating Judeism with genocidal apartheid terrorist Zionism! It's Netanyahu's fault ! Palestinian students are the ones getting beaten and murdered by pro genocide Jewish Zionists!
I think young people who hadn't lived during World War II had anti Hitler fatigue and just decided to emulate him instead, like the Stockholm syndrome captives. They had no idea of the gut-wrenching reality of life under the Nazi leadership.
Vence is correct. I'm an official state interpreter and was asked to interpret for diplomat from South America at a local university, who did nothing but belittle and lie about our country. It got so bad, I refused to continue interpreting and left in protest.
“The professors are the enemy” sounds like something Mao would have said during the Chinese cultural revolution. Pointing out destructive and ineffective policies is a must. Passionate and respectful debate is needed. Demonizing people and groups of people always leads down a dark and counter-productive path.
@neilhollands2750 Your point is that Universities provide equal or multiple perspectives. That’s JD’s point that they have become echo chambers of monolithic neoliberalism. They are intolerant of alternative views and even promote scorn for dissension. jD is not advocating for the dissolution of universities but a course correction to make them less corrupt and back to their original purposes
If a speaker uses an Appeal to Fear, they may have a point, but I'll take it with a grain of salt. But once a speaker tells me who my "Enemies" are, I'm out. I've seen this one.
This happened in communist country I used to live in. Incompetence was at the top of everything. It’s the same thing happening now in the US, just named different
If America is really lucky he will one day be your President and he and like minded leaders, such as Farage, here in England, will bring the West back from the brink.
I am researching info to learn who JD VANCE WAS IS AND CAN BE. AMAZING AND QUITE IMPRESSIVE THUS FAR TO COMPLIMENT TRUMP IN THE NEEDS WE FACE COMING UP. WOULD FOLLOW BOTH REGARDLESS OF COMING ELECTION RESULTS.
I have been writing on the topic of the crisis of universities for about thirty years, published a book on the subject in 2005 and, in 2016, another one entitled "The Empty Campus." The fact that still today, despite all that is happening, there is no interest in such analyses is also a symptom of the problem/crisis. Best regards, Sergio Caldarella
All power always tends, to corrupt. 16:46 mins the greatest country there has ever been... !!!!! Then again two rights, don't make a wrong..........................
I became an electronics engineer without a degree. Because of a high logical IQ, I became successful. Eventually, I moved into project management. I very rapidly became shocked at the inability of degreed engineers that could not accomplish even the simplest tasks. Perhaps I was simply very rapid in understanding problems and solutions, but even over time, one would expect college educated to catch on. Not only did they not, but they protected outright ignorance of each other. I encountered quite a few self-taught engineers, and in most cases, though I was ready to be very critical of them, they were superior to degreed engineers. It is time to examine the fascist and communist policies taught by absolutely incompetent teachers who could not become successful through lack of intelligence and take it out on their students.
How are you with *BASIC* physics? I have a simple puzzle I wager you cannot solve. You seem.intelligent but are you a coward? Intelligence without courage can be a sad thing. I also have a coward test, bet let's see how you are with *BASIC* physics.
A real comedian. You can't even phrase a question in English and believe yourself educated. Since you can not even use your own name, you might very well be one of the incompetent engineers I was forced to lay off because of incompetence so great that it put that company into bankruptcy and stole the money from the investors.
As a retired academic, I question if Mr. Vance had ever set foot in the graduate school of an university. His JD from Yale Law School would not really impress too many seasoned academics!
Dare we hope to gain a voice and be heard? I have relatives who wont even begin to listen when I express the kinds of thoughts that JD presented. Why? I do not have a degree. It is not a lack of eloquence on my part. It is prejudice on theirs.
@@schott43 You have not lived in the "world". I did. Nobody is perfect, but America did so much more good that our communist opponents who did nothing good at all.
Wow Fierce courage to say these things . I wrote a book that took a hear things on 30 years ago. I was 35. Mr Vance, Bravo. I am going to pay attention to your walk in public life as I believe you actually have something g to say. Deep. Profound. Powerful. And ancient. Christianity in the first century arose from a control environment 2000 years ago. The heart of your message is old. The Greeks took on these issues 2300 years ago . Dare to question.
JD, great speech! What college students used to love about the college experience were the endless hours of discussing philosophy, religion, & politics amongst their peers while listening to music and perhaps imbibing illegal substances, so it was never about “the professors” to begin with. Students learned from their shared experiences with others who were gathered in that time and place from diverse backgrounds beyond their familiar communities. Professors merely administer the syllabus/outline of curriculum, but it was always the students who enriched themselves and by extension, the universities. Nothing screams patriarchy louder than giving a few 40+ year old life-long college students a path to avoid the struggles of the real working class by giving them authority over the futures of those who strive higher and better for themselves and the world. The only human specimen to be found more selfish & lazy than such professors are life-long politicians like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, et al, who until their last lazy breath will claim that sucking the life and money out of people is for the greater good, because after all, they and their congregation are stupid enough to believe it. The sub-intellectual political class has to go.
and this is why we lose the culture war, JD a smart man ! however he dresses like he's from the 1950s, trying to address the remaining boomers, giving boring speeches with ties and boring suits ! too bad because he does have great ideas
@derekarnold3665 lol! Hope this is sarcasm because it’s 100% false. Universities are a toxic monolithic echo chamber of neoliberal thought. They are intolerant of competing view points
It’s true! Universities pretty much train the minds of their students I have one UCLA son and one UOFA son. They are working now, and I’m sure you can figure out where their voting lies!
I want border security. I want Financial security. Our system is set up so well there's really not much for politicians to do. They're the problem. They make a mess of things
The funding system favors public universities, over private institutions. If we had funding parity, many students would choose conservative, largely religious colleges. Parents need to be on the ruling boards, stopping administrative waste and preparing students for the work force.
For context, here is the full Richard Nixon quote: "Never forget, the press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy; the professors are the enemy. Professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it." Funny in the end, Nixon proved to be his own worst enemy. Also, can't forget this gem from Vance on Facebook years ago: “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” Welcome to American politics. 😦
His conclusing remark is absolutely chilling. :( Disagree, bring up issues, fight for change, but do not hate! We are all citizens of the same country (including "Professors")! Make education affordable, merit-based and ideology-free, do not get rid of it!!! Inam higely dissappointed with JD! He could lead and make a real difference instead of inciting hate and leaving the audience with this aweful "wise" reference...
This is NOT how I taught my classes at Indiana State University. This is not how my colleagues taught & teach. I have two kids: one had a great college outcome, and one didn't go to college, and is serving in the NAVY. I told them to follow their paths: college or not. This is the same guy talking here who called Trump "an opioid" a few years ago. I remember when Pence would bristle at some of Trump's entanglements with porn stars, etc. and then defend him. We remember how things ended between Pence and Trump at the Capitol. Let's hope the same thing doesn't happen to JD.
Never Trumpers show up everywhere. You say you did t do the DEI dance in your class but we don’t know the truth. Maybe you are paying prostitutes, watching porn and cheating on your spouse. We don’t know the truth. I am not taking your word for it. Vance is speaking the truth. Victor Davis Hanson agrees and I will take his academic opinion over yours any day.
I did not vote for Trump in 2016, I not vote for Hilary, either. When Trump won, I shrugged and gave him a chance, It did seem, for the irst six months that Trump was the dog who caught the car. But it also seems to me that he had no support in either party, and that both were trying to keep him from doing what he promised to.
Is it the University or who funds the University?
Good point
Universities have massive endowments and are ideologically beholden to their staff and administration. They have become a toxic echo chamber and activists
No, it’s the alumni who funds the university, as well as the state
Roflmao
Those who fund universities ARE the universities

It's very interesting to listen to because every sentence he says contains a logical fallacy, and many statements contain multiple logical fallacies. That's why he wants people to avoid getting an education so they will not notice things like that. This is a wonderful speech to give to the students as homework to identify all logical fallacies in the speech.
Perfect
I would disagree about logical fallacies at least within the first 9 minutes I've gone through so far. I think many issues he raises about how current mindset in Academia, mainly starting with its "leadership" ( who are typically not scientists, or not acclaimed scientists), work should undergo scrutiny for suppressing free speech and freedom of opinion. However, I would point out to the hypocrisy - if you are going to scrutinize the university and essentially demonize them, instead of perhaps, improving their policies and returning to more accepting and open conduct, why not to mention mass media, both left-leaning and, in particular, right-wing and conservative, and your own (JD Vance's) Republican Party! Otherwise, it sounds just like what it really is - an attack on Higher Education and Education in general. Unfortunately, I only hear underlying division and hate in his speech...
@@chrizastenium Hasty Generalization: Asserts that all universities are "very hostile institutions" without providing sufficient evidence to support this sweeping claim.
Appeal to Probability: Assumes that universities control all knowledge and falsity because it would likely be the case.
False Dilemma (Black-and-White Thinking): Presents a binary choice of either attacking universities or failing to achieve goals, ignoring other potential solutions.
Non Sequitur: Assumes that universities control knowledge in society without providing a logical basis for this conclusion. I can continue. There are a few fallacies in most of the sentences. The funniest part is that HE got two worthless degrees for undergrad and then went to Yale Law School.
Heartening analysis
Do you really call that an analysis?
This was my introduction to Vance, and there was literally nothing that he said I could disagree with. And I am a 40+ year veteran of a prestigious public university. But in critiquing the decaying university, I think a distinction has to be made between the rot going on in humanities, and the really significant and good work our colleagues in the sciences are doing. And, by the way, the university counts on those departments paying their own bills by research grants its distinguished faculty routinely get and deserve. There are, to be sure, good people in the humanities who care deeply about teaching and honest "critical thinking," but then ... the -isms. In short, I think Mr. Vance was an excellent choice and I am impressed with him, He speaks as articulately as any Yale Professor.
He is so AMAZING! J.D. for POTUS 2028🎉❤
J.D. I love you as much as I love Trump. We are so lucky to have you run for VP.
He definitely makes sense to me. His words are true!
Well said Senator Vance. I went through a university in the 1980s. It was bad then, and even worse now.
Kudos to Vance. Blessing for his bold challenge thrown at arrogant and anti national academics
Extraordinary.. A future leader who cares deeply about science, scientific research, innovation.. Hopefully the young generation of America is truly motivated to continue to be the best
Usha Vance has the chance to do the funniest thing in the history of comedy rn
Why am I seeing " Comments 8" and then find only 4 comments? Have 4 of the 8 been deleted already?
Shadow banning and comment suppression. 4 other ppl were shadow banned. Probably said something on a legacy media video / channel about the election or C-VlD
…Most likely by the speech police.
Vance is intelligent and eloquent--a perfect balance for Trump!
So happy for your calling! I was an educator at two Universities, one in Texas and one in Utah. I loved my job and my students. Today, is another angry group of students. I don't understand their anger against Jewish students! How did that happen while we all watched? Truth and knowledge take a stand in the background, and those thoughts keep me awake at night. I resort to prayers. Education could be a great place to bring truths by studying history and bringing forth the political swings that keep us in fear. God bless.

Educator and learners are marxist terms . Derived from life long learner to be soscial man .
Over the last 40 years Liberal Jews liked power so they allowed "utopians" to replace the "free market of ideas" with brainwashing ,"compliance" of thought.
In Canada, the situation is even worse.
The protestors are furious about the Israel GENOCIDE! NETANYAHU says he's the Prime minister of not only Israelis but all Jews around the world! He's causing the rise of antisemitism by saying he represents all Jews! He's a facist mass murdering ductator who lies shamelessly. Thats his Zionist ideology which has nothing to do with Judeism but you can't blame protestors for conflating Judeism with genocidal apartheid terrorist Zionism! It's Netanyahu's fault !
Palestinian students are the ones getting beaten and murdered by pro genocide Jewish Zionists!
I think young people who hadn't lived during World War II had anti Hitler fatigue and just decided to emulate him instead, like the Stockholm syndrome captives. They had no idea of the gut-wrenching reality of life under the Nazi leadership.
However this man has studied in a university too
the thing is, they do not want others to do so
@@adrianbaezaaraya4388yes the rules are for the little people!!!
Because this man is a hypocrite
@@arturkuleshov5735no because he makes sense
don't hate the player hate the game
Fabulous speech by Vance. True American conservative that I pray becomes the VP for our Great American Leader ~~ Donald J. Trump
Vence is correct. I'm an official state interpreter and was asked to interpret for diplomat from South America at a local university, who did nothing but belittle and lie about our country. It got so bad, I refused to continue interpreting and left in protest.
Thank you for having the guts for standing up for your beliefs and for our great country❤❤
“The professors are the enemy” sounds like something Mao would have said during the Chinese cultural revolution. Pointing out destructive and ineffective policies is a must. Passionate and respectful debate is needed. Demonizing people and groups of people always leads down a dark and counter-productive path.
@neilhollands2750 Your point is that Universities provide equal or multiple perspectives. That’s JD’s point that they have become echo chambers of monolithic neoliberalism. They are intolerant of alternative views and even promote scorn for dissension. jD is not advocating for the dissolution of universities but a course correction to make them less corrupt and back to their original purposes
Khomeini did the same in Iran. They even closed all universities for 2 years! He is resounding the same foolishness!
Witch-hunt on liberal professors awaits if he becomes vice president.
If a speaker uses an Appeal to Fear, they may have a point, but I'll take it with a grain of salt. But once a speaker tells me who my "Enemies" are, I'm out. I've seen this one.
This happened in communist country I used to live in. Incompetence was at the top of everything. It’s the same thing happening now in the US, just named different
HOPEFULLY JD will be Our Vice President..💥💫💥
If America is really lucky he will one day be your President and he and like minded leaders, such as Farage, here in England, will bring the West back from the brink.
He's right. Watching this it's clear why Trump chose him for VP over other more pragmatic options like Nikki Haley or Rubio.
He is so good I'm 100 % agree with vice president
Thank you Republicans for Making American Common Sense Common Again. Please continue to Make America Makes Sense Again. JOHN FURY
I am researching info to learn who JD VANCE WAS IS AND CAN BE.
AMAZING AND QUITE IMPRESSIVE THUS FAR TO COMPLIMENT TRUMP IN THE NEEDS WE FACE COMING UP.
WOULD FOLLOW BOTH REGARDLESS OF COMING ELECTION RESULTS.
Our country desperately needs you...and the world does, too.
JD IS GREAT
Right on! 👏👏👏👏👏
I have been writing on the topic of the crisis of universities for about thirty years, published a book on the subject in 2005 and, in 2016, another one entitled "The Empty Campus." The fact that still today, despite all that is happening, there is no interest in such analyses is also a symptom of the problem/crisis. Best regards, Sergio Caldarella
You are in good company with other academics like Thomas Sowell and Victor Davis Hanson.
You the man!! You have my vote!!
Thank You, J.D!
I really like what I hear Senator Vance is saying.
you fought hard to get to Yale!
This man is brilliant. The best Vice President America could get.
Trump 2024!
And ever had.
JD talk sense
All the woke garbage come from academia.
Completely agree, 🙏
JD Vance graduated from Yale. His Yale colleague urged him to write hillbilly elegy.
But he thought those guys were in sh*ty school… from this speech
Actually, it was Amy Chua, his professor at Yale Uni who encouraged him to expand a paper he wrote for her into a book.
glad to see lots of people checking this guy out. I had 0 idea who he was. I have to admit I was really hoping for Tulsi, but I am liking JD
Me too.excited about possibilities this team may accomplish. A balanced ballot for running mate choice.
Wisdom and our true enemy as Americans answered for me in this video. Thank you.
I really like this guy! I think he's going to be a great leader alongside Trump!
Absolutely stunning
I am now a fan of JD
Excellent speaker. Of the truth ❤
All power always tends, to corrupt. 16:46 mins the greatest country there has ever been... !!!!! Then again two rights, don't make a wrong..........................
I believe they are good pair for America. They will feed each other (so to speak).
We need a JD Vance in Canada -God you know who he is. We stand on guard for Canada 🙏
I became an electronics engineer without a degree. Because of a high logical IQ, I became successful. Eventually, I moved into project management. I very rapidly became shocked at the inability of degreed engineers that could not accomplish even the simplest tasks. Perhaps I was simply very rapid in understanding problems and solutions, but even over time, one would expect college educated to catch on. Not only did they not, but they protected outright ignorance of each other. I encountered quite a few self-taught engineers, and in most cases, though I was ready to be very critical of them, they were superior to degreed engineers. It is time to examine the fascist and communist policies taught by absolutely incompetent teachers who could not become successful through lack of intelligence and take it out on their students.
How are you with *BASIC* physics?
I have a simple puzzle I wager you cannot solve.
You seem.intelligent but are you a coward? Intelligence without courage can be a sad thing.
I also have a coward test, bet let's see how you are with *BASIC* physics.
A real comedian. You can't even phrase a question in English and believe yourself educated. Since you can not even use your own name, you might very well be one of the incompetent engineers I was forced to lay off because of incompetence so great that it put that company into bankruptcy and stole the money from the investors.
He is absolutely correct .
Not even American, but I have to agree with everything he says about universities. This isn’t a problem exclusive to U.S. but many western countries
You're a scholar with the right ideas.
As a retired academic, I question if Mr. Vance had ever set foot in the graduate school of an university. His JD from Yale Law School would not really impress too many seasoned academics!
Yale is as famous as Harvard 1701 n 1637 so I think that’s a silly argument as far as legitimacy .
Yes, a law degree is a craft, not an academic degree. Lots of memorization.
Dare we hope to gain a voice and be heard? I have relatives who wont even begin to listen when I express the kinds of thoughts that JD presented. Why? I do not have a degree. It is not a lack of eloquence on my part. It is prejudice on theirs.
I'm 80 and just now lerning about our horrible history, as we keep doing horrible things around the world.
Nobody is perfect. Compared to other countries, America did so much more good than evil, that it is ridiculous to think about her the way you do.
@@saxelrod94I was born during WW2 and we've been rampaging much of the world since.
@@schott43 You have not lived in the "world". I did. Nobody is perfect, but America did so much more good that our communist opponents who did nothing good at all.
Wow
Fierce courage to say these things .
I wrote a book that took a hear things on 30 years ago. I was 35. Mr Vance,
Bravo. I am going to pay attention to your walk in public life as I believe you actually have something g to say. Deep. Profound. Powerful. And ancient. Christianity in the first century arose from a control environment 2000 years ago. The heart of your message is old. The Greeks took on these issues 2300 years ago . Dare to question.
This man calls a spade a spade. It has become a rare commodity.
@rareword Just like President Trump.
JD, great speech! What college students used to love about the college experience were the endless hours of discussing philosophy, religion, & politics amongst their peers while listening to music and perhaps imbibing illegal substances, so it was never about “the professors” to begin with. Students learned from their shared experiences with others who were gathered in that time and place from diverse backgrounds beyond their familiar communities. Professors merely administer the syllabus/outline of curriculum, but it was always the students who enriched themselves and by extension, the universities. Nothing screams patriarchy louder than giving a few 40+ year old life-long college students a path to avoid the struggles of the real working class by giving them authority over the futures of those who strive higher and better for themselves and the world. The only human specimen to be found more selfish & lazy than such professors are life-long politicians like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, et al, who until their last lazy breath will claim that sucking the life and money out of people is for the greater good, because after all, they and their congregation are stupid enough to believe it. The sub-intellectual political class has to go.
and this is why we lose the culture war, JD a smart man ! however he dresses like he's from the 1950s, trying to address the remaining boomers, giving boring speeches with ties and boring suits ! too bad because he does have great ideas
@@orangefield2308 halfwit take
The guy who said that they didn't want their kid to become an hvac specialist is a fool
Universities also teach critical thinking skills which is the antithesis of Authoritarian leaders.
@derekarnold3665 lol! Hope this is sarcasm because it’s 100% false. Universities are a toxic monolithic echo chamber of neoliberal thought. They are intolerant of competing view points
Universities are meant to teach critical thinking. Problem is, they do just the opposite.
It’s true! Universities pretty much train the minds of their students
I have one UCLA son and one UOFA son. They are working now, and I’m sure you can figure out where their voting lies!
Inspiring
So true!!!!
The Lord is truth
Exactly; we are to follow the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE.
JD Vance Brilliant Fellow
Vote for J.D. Vance for U.S. Senator !!!
You exposed your single digit IQ without us even asking, thank you!
Thank you to make to hear and to listen to
Amen😊
Great speech and nothing but the truth. Well done to JD Vance.
This is when Vance got picked ladies and gentlemen. Trump knew THAT day.
I want border security. I want Financial security. Our system is set up so well there's really not much for politicians to do. They're the problem. They make a mess of things
President Trump made a good choice. Good luck, fellas.
Wow! From this very infomative speech, I can understand WHY President Trump chose him.
Well done J.D. Vance.
Keep following the TRUTH!
God bless you.
The funding system favors public universities, over private institutions. If we had funding parity, many students would choose conservative, largely religious colleges. Parents need to be on the ruling boards, stopping administrative waste and preparing students for the work force.
For context, here is the full Richard Nixon quote: "Never forget, the press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy; the professors are the enemy. Professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it." Funny in the end, Nixon proved to be his own worst enemy.
Also, can't forget this gem from Vance on Facebook years ago: “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,”
Welcome to American politics. 😦
Indoctrination camps
Yes, pray for wisdom!
His conclusing remark is absolutely chilling. :( Disagree, bring up issues, fight for change, but do not hate! We are all citizens of the same country (including "Professors")! Make education affordable, merit-based and ideology-free, do not get rid of it!!! Inam higely dissappointed with JD! He could lead and make a real difference instead of inciting hate and leaving the audience with this aweful "wise" reference...
Yep ❤
This man speaks the healthy, sound and true things. He makes many others seems weird.
Spot on, still true. How do we shut down this oligarchy?
This is NOT how I taught my classes at Indiana State University.
This is not how my colleagues taught & teach.
I have two kids: one had a great college outcome, and one didn't go to college, and is serving in the NAVY. I told them to follow their paths: college or not.
This is the same guy talking here who called Trump "an opioid" a few years ago. I remember when Pence would bristle at some of Trump's entanglements with porn stars, etc. and then defend him. We remember how things ended between Pence and Trump at the Capitol. Let's hope the same thing doesn't happen to JD.
Never Trumpers show up everywhere. You say you did t do the DEI dance in your class but we don’t know the truth. Maybe you are paying prostitutes, watching porn and cheating on your spouse. We don’t know the truth. I am not taking your word for it. Vance is speaking the truth. Victor Davis Hanson agrees and I will take his academic opinion over yours any day.
He said he didn’t like Trumps at first. He’s been very open about it.
I did not vote for Trump in 2016, I not vote for Hilary, either. When Trump won, I shrugged and gave him a chance, It did seem, for the irst six months that Trump was the dog who caught the car. But it also seems to me that he had no support in either party, and that both were trying to keep him from doing what he promised to.
Not
@joexactly hnschuh8616
What an intelligent young man who’s just 37 years old .
We love JD VANCE

He’s the product of a prestigious university! And you?
Why did you go to university, Dude? What about all the advancements that affect people's lives positively?
