Elite US universities accused of prioritising foreign interests over American taxpayers
Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker has criticised elite American universities, accusing them of cultivating 'unholy relationships' with foreign governments while turning their backs on the American taxpayers who fund them. 'University like Harvard gets billions of dollars in American taxpayer money, but they don't think that they are an American institution. They don't care,' Mr Hinderaker told Sky News host James Morrow. 'The last thing they care about is American taxpayers. 'They think they are a global institution and they train their students to be citizens of the world, and I think Donald Trump properly questions whether there's any reason why American taxpayers should be subsidising these operations to the tune of many billions of dollars.'

US federal appeals court temporarily reinstates Trump's tariffs
Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker has weighed in after a US federal court blocked President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. 'For now, at least the tariffs remain in place,' Mr Hinderaker told Sky News host James Morrow. 'These are complicated legal issues. I've read the opinion, long technical opinion of the Court of International Trade. It's not stupid. 'This is not a case where Democratic Party judges are jumping in to try to throw a monkey wrench into the Trump administration. 'These are actually legitimate issues, and we'll see how they play out.'

‘Radical and pointless': Protesters interrupt RFK Jr during Senate hearing on HHS budget
Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker weighed in on the recent spectacle at a congressional hearing where protesters disrupted Robert F Kennedy Jr's hearing on Capitol Hill. "How radical and how pointless," Mr Hinderaker told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus. "It was completely irrelevant. And you see this from the left all the time. "These congressional hearings get disrupted frequently. It is always by leftists. Conservatives just don't do this."

US Supreme Court seemingly split on birthright citizenship
Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker has discussed the US Supreme Court's recent deliberations involving US President Donald Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship. "There are two separate issues here. The substantive issue is whether the children of illegal immigrants born in America are necessarily American citizens," Mr Hinderaker told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus. "That is very controversial."
