| 00:00 - 00:03 | The Ayn Rand Institute is giving us fits. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | Their scholars are speaking all over the world. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Yaron Brook is on YouTube every day |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | applying Rand's philosophy of Objectivism to current events. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | They even hold conferences in Europe. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | Our academics mock Rand mercilessly ... |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | ... every chance they get? |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Fuhrer ... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | ... we no longer ... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | ... no longer have a monopoly over higher education. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | They have launched the Ayn Rand University. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone leave, except Keitler, Joeger, Krepps and Portoh. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | This is unacceptable! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | All of our plans depend on hiding the truth about Ayn Rand. |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | People must believe she was a terrible writer. |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | People must believe she hated the poor. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | People must believe she was not a philosopher. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | People must believe only naive teenagers like her novels .... |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | ... and they soon grow out of it. |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Above all they must never take her ideas seriously. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Fuhrer, the Institute is reaching active minds directly on the web. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | I don't care about the internet! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Mein Fuhrer, we can no longer rely on our academics to confuse everyone. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Then you'd better figure out another way! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | She's been dead for decades! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | She should be long forgotten. |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Why are people still allowed to buy her novels? |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | The Fountainhead ... Atlas Shrugged ... garbage! |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Every last copy should be burned. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | We won't be safe until everyone on earth is afraid to mention her name. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | Don't you see, she's the enemy? |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | She thinks I'm an evil dictator, no better than Stalin! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | This Ayn Rand Institute ... |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | ... it's a dagger in my heart ... |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | ... an insult to everything we stand for. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | If they are starting a university ... |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | ... they can educate the next generation to appreciate the importance of philosophy. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | And then what will happen to all our work? |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | We'll be helpless to fight that. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | All we have is our emotions. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | We're no match for rational minds. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry ... nobody can make you think for yourself. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | I've heard they give courses on happiness ... |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | ... they want people to live for themselves ... |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | ... to have self-esteem ... |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | ... to live in freedom. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | We can't fight that. Mockery and lies can only succeed for so long ... |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | ... and then people start to understand a new ideal. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | And then we're finished. |
