2:27:16 So this is really about President Trump saying, hey you guys you jacked up the prices on admissions You got hundreds of billions of dollars in endowments. You don't pay any tax on it. Your bunch of elite is globalist I'm going to screw you for ideological reasons How is he screwing them? He's just not giving them government money. It's a private institution Why do they deserve government money I'm saying this because...I'm asking you Well, they don't but i'm saying this because that was on the clip earlier it's a callback baby So let's play this and see what, what's the complaint now? The Trump administration's feud with major American universities escalated this week. A federal anti-Semitism task force notified Harvard that $450 million of the school's research grants are being cut and that's on top of the 2.2 billion dollars it had previously frozen
2:28:18 Laura Barone Lopez spoke with one of the affected researchers, Jane Brugges, the director of Harvard's Ludwig Cancer Center. Dr. Brugges you've been working for years on breast cancer research tell me what type of research exactly are you doing and the type of progress that you've made? In my lab the ultimate goal of our research efforts is to find better ways to detect and destroy cancer in its tracks And the Breast Cancer Research Project that is funded by a National Cancer Institute grant, that is currently frozen specifically aims to identify and profile the earliest precursors or harbingers of breast cancer before these precursors become cancer. Oh they're doing important work! National Cancer Institute fund? Is that so in other words it doesn't really exist as just government money? Is that what you're saying? I'm not sure but sounds like it
2:29:16 So 400 million bucks is not going to Harvard because there are a bunch of Jew haters. And so she's whining because the national... Yeah, that's the reason. That the only reason? Well, nobody like it. It's also you know this could be a money grab Yeah could be just possibly so the goal then is to develop methods to detect these early precursors and then design treatments that prevent them from becoming cancer So that means say if someone had one of those what's known as a BRCA gene That you could help stop that in its tracks
2:29:54 Yes, this would allow us to monitor the development or the expansion of these early precursors. And even before we had treatments for them we could be able to tell when they're starting to expand and that would be a real cue... That would be the cue for those women to have the prophylactic breast cancer mastectomies How important ultimately are federal grants in the work that you do? I would say federal grants are the most important contributors to our research effort. There just isn't enough money from foundations or partnerships with companies that, uh, to cover the amount of research that is...that there's opportunities for them to pursue. There's an interesting tell in that um...the tell or interesting point here there's not enough
2:30:48 non-profits, basically what she said or companies that are even interested in stopping cancer. Of course they're not! It's a boondoggle Well whatever they developed though it is those companies that make the profits Yeah but if they saw...if they cure cancer Oh they're not curing cancer That's one of them By the way on The Quad Box right now Former President Biden diagnosed with quote aggressive prostate cancer. It's in his bones To his bones? Yeah. That's not where prostate cancer usually goes, but okay! It says Biden diagnosed with quote aggressive unquote prostate cancer has spread... I think he did get the vax. Has spread to his bones. So before you go on yeah just complaining this is 440 million bucks i think that the government's like pulling saying now screw it yeah
2:31:45 What would, I know you probably don't notice at the top of your head but for example let's look at the top 10 pharma companies and their their net profit, what was the profit made by let's say the top one Johnson & Johnson in 2024? What was the profit how many dollars did they end up in their coffers at the end of the year. So profits after they've paid for everything there and yeah all taken care everything so it's just pure are they a public company Johnson & Johnson yes course I would say
2:32:21 $23 billion. Well that's high, but it's 18 billion and every other of the top 10 is 15 billion or more. It's 15 billions 16 billions 17... These are billions and billions. Hold on a sec so what you're saying is they should I mean what if you got eighteen billion, seventeen-and-a-half billion okay? Shouldn't they be giving that to Harvard so they can... 10 billion is okay and they can give 8 billion to Harvard but they don't give any billion to Harvard. They do, it doesn't was not talked about in this report neither is it talked about in this report by Lopez
2:32:59 How much money these pharma companies are just making, they're making bank all you go to the top 20 and it's all in the multi billions. You know from 10 billion to 18. Excuse me? You're thinking that Lopez is going to ask a question that might look bad of the pharmaceutical industry? Do I think that? What do you think, but the point is is that this whining anti-Trump votes his fall isn't bullcrap. Yes with termination of say for instance the grant to our lab we would have to We'd have to, we wouldn't have the money to fund salaries for the postdoctoral fellows or trainees. They're doing work. We lose some money necessary to buy supplies for these studies and to pay for the technology. Hold on a second. How about taking just the annual interest on your $100 billion endowment? It's about 60 50 to 60 billion
2:34:02 Okay, be honest about it. Okay? Do you think I know is think there's a million way at least a billion Yeah, they're trainees and research scientists are doing the work We lose the money necessary to buy supplies for these studies and to pay for the blind allergies And this would severely in impede progress towards our goal especially when we're so close we've actually identified these cells that think are the earliest precursor to cancer, and so we wouldn't be able to develop methods that this work would have impact in the community. I never imagined there would be a cross-the-board cut in research that could have such important
2:34:44 implications for the general well-being of the United States. If research like yours is ultimately cut off, what effect would it have on everyday Americans and the work that you and others do at Harvard? there would be a really significant delay advancing all of the research findings that we've made to date. And so this, you know, would slow down the development of therapies depending on how long and how broadly these cuts are applied but there are a lot of other consequences like the reduction in research funding would reduce the pipeline of disease impacting discoveries from US
2:35:25 academic institutions to pharmaceutical companies that then translate the discoveries into treatments and cures for diseases. So industry relies on these discoveries, we would also lose our competitive edge in leadership in the world laboratories at other countries would have a significant competitive edge if the discoveries are made outside of United States. What a crock! You know, now that I think about it. I'm just looking at Biden and thinking about Trump and thinking about you... You really know a lot of stuff. You should run for president. You've got at least 15 years to become president Yeah, I do have time ahead with something like that. But this is a nonsense complaint $440 million
2:36:12 And they say, and the pharmaceutical companies aren't gonna get the benefit of our research. The pharmaceutical company should be giving you the $440 million dollars is not a big deal when they're making 18 billion a year at minimum and that's one of 20 or 30 of these companies. The other thing it just it's ludicrous to add then you have your own endowment this whining and they get backed up by PBS in this Lopez woman is just pathetic And it's always a thing. How dumb do they think the public is to fall for this? Well, the public isn't watching that so you know this well they are not watching the not listening there is a lot of people that watch and listen to this crap yeah why are they listening to our show I don't know we have a million we have a week we get the cognoscenti the cognitive or show the cognoscente writing it down
