## Transcript

Today we're delivering a clear message to the professors and power structures trying to suppress dissent and keep young Americans and all Americans, not just young Americans like Ellen and Kaitlin and Poly from challenging rigid far left ideology. People who are confident in their beliefs do not censor others. We don't want to censor others. They welcome free fair and open debate and that's what we are demanding under the policy I am announcing today. Federal agencies will use their authority Under various grant- making programs to ensure that public Universities protect, cherish, protect, the First Amendment and First Amendment rights of their students or risk losing.

Billions and billions of dollars of federal taxpayer dollars. We will not stand idly by and allow public institutions to violate their students constitutional rights. If a college or university doesn't allow you to speak, we will not give them money. It's very simple
