Americans still hold dear.
00:01
Everyone asked me about the half a million dollars of research grants
00:05
that the president has taken for UCLA.
00:08
Should the U.C. strike a deal to get that money back?
00:10
And with your involvement...
00:12
I want to be careful here, but with all due respect,
00:17
and I don't mean to diminish, we're not Brown, we're not Columbia,
00:23
and I'm not going to be governor if we act like that.
00:27
Period. Full stop. I will fight like hell.
00:30
To make sure that doesn't happen.
00:32
There's principles. There's right and wrong.
00:34
And we'll do the right thing.
00:38
And what President Trump is doing is wrong, and everybody knows it.
00:43
His biggest supporters know it.
00:47
And you are not just...
00:50
This is not about...
00:51
This is the finest system of higher education anyone in the world.
00:55
It's the reason we're having this conversation.
00:59
It's the reason we dominate in every critical area.
01:03
It's the reason we have more scientists, engineers, more mobile laureates,
01:06
more patents than any other jurisdiction on planet Earth.
01:09
It is because of the system of higher education.
01:11
It's that conveyor belt for talent defines the best this country.
01:15
The reason our national defense and national security is as strong as it is,
01:19
is the partnerships and the funding that comes through those grants.
01:24
So this is about our competitiveness.
01:26
It's about the fate and future of this country.
01:29
It's about our sovereignty.
01:30
It's about so much more than the temperament of an aggrieved individual
01:37
who happens to currently be president of the United States.
01:39
Do you involve those conversations in all about schools
01:42
and possibly negotiating with them?
01:44
They'll do the right thing.
01:45
I have the confidence, and I'll do everything in my power
01:48
to encourage them to do the right thing
01:51
and not to become another law firm that bends on their knees,
01:57
another company that sells their soul,
01:58
another institution that takes a shortcut and takes the easy wrong.
