he comes back to harvard on some weekends. he avoided a first rate provost to really run the university in his absence. he tells a great story, part of wartime savings, trying to reduce the number of courses taught. they decided that a good economic move would be to admit radcliffe women. there were so many boys were joining up into the army, class size had gotten so small that have did not we will let the women in an radcliffe will pay us and we won't have teachers teaching both subjects at baclofen harvard, which essentially radical decision to sort of make harvard coed and which is really the last thing my grandfather had wanted. he later said. he was so busy reading secret force that when paul buck had io give this piece of paper to make this really enormous change, he said my grandfather signed it without even looking up and he wasn't entirely sure he knew what he had signed. so you get the feeling from the anecdote of how busy he was. he's looking at these classified reports on the early uranium fission research that was

but then was called to serve harvard in a different capacity? >> guest: he wanted to be an academic scientists. we know he courted his girlfriend and married his mentor's daughter. he was a prize-winning, said married the bosses daughter. he was from the other side of the tracks. it was a feat to convince his mentor that he should be allowed to marry this girl. we know he was ambitious, he told her when he courted her in 1920, he told her he wanted to become the greatest organic chemist in america, too, become president of harvard, and three, achieve a cabinet level position. so he first saw his future quite clearly. she squealed these down in his diary say these were young man's pipedreams pushes curious to see how much he could achieve. by 40 he achieved the first two. he was a hard-working, stumbling at that attacking chemical problems of real significance. because he is trained as a physical and a granite chemist, he could've made headway quickly in areas such as hemoglobin and super acids. and also helping with the atomic structure of chlor

but in 1933, the venerable president of harvard retired and the board of harvard came to him and said who do you recommend of who would be a good leader and what you think we need to do to bring harvard into the new century and apparently he gave such an exciting exposition of the problems and challenges they had and how he thought they should be resolved that he became a candidate and sure enough he became a very young 40-year-old president. the goal was to build a real meritocracy among the students and elevate harvard into what we know it to be today. so you have seen the tremendous vision for the future and what was needed at the time. they had these brilliant professors in literature and economics, but many of them were retired and several died. they lost some of their leading lights and it was also becoming something of the argument. it is the leading university in america and there were all these upstarts in the universities that were growing the university of chicago and doing great work to compete with these new challenges from the west that harvard needed to recruit for the

in 1933, president harvard retired on their seeking a successor. the corporation, the board of harvard came to him and said, who do you recommend? you are this brilliant scientist you should have ideas of what we need to do to bring harvard into the new century. he gave such an exciting, informed brilliant exposition of the problems and challenges ahead and how they should be resolved, he became a candidate. he became a very young 40 old president of harvard, or from the wrong side of the track. the newspapers had a field day with it. his science career he thought was over. >> as i recall, the book describes harbor having rested on its laurels and maybe to some degree lapsed into mediocrity. his goal is to build a meritocracy among the faculty and students and elevate harvard to what we know to be today. he seemed to have tremendous vision of the future. >> it was the oldest, most prominent university in america. they had brilliant professors but many were retired and several had died. they had lost some of their leading lights. it is also becoming

>> why just talk about harvard? we are talking about education. >> tucker: i happen to have the numbers right here, so just answer. does it bother you -- >> i don't know. i don't believe that white protestants arewh underrepresented. when i just gave you statistics from the brookings institute that said blacks are underrepresented nationwide.oo >> tucker: absolutely. >> white protestants -- >> tucker: i didn't contest that. white protestants are dramatically underrepresented at harvard, the most prestigious college in america. and i'm just saying, if the goal is to make sure that each -- >> what historical issue has kept white protestants out of harvard university? >> tucker: i don't know. >> there is none is what you are saying. >> tucker: i'm not saying that. >> what is it? if you are not aware -- >> tucker: hold on, does every group need to be represented proportionally or just some? >> i'm saying one of the things -- >> tucker: oh, tough question. [laughs] >> it's not a tough question. it's an easy one. >> tucke

harvard tweeted back to the video which is making the rounds, saying congratulations and welcome to harvard, he turned 16 years old. the video really reminds accepted to harvard for the class of 2006. let's check that out. >> i don't know. what does it say? i can't see it. >> oh, man. >> he's, he seems really -- >> what? >> i got accepted. >> are you serious? >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> all right. >> i got accepted. >> i got accepted. >> that's his reaction. i got accepted. by the way, speaking of 16-year-olds getting into college, we have a boy wonder right here. kendis gibson went to college at 16 years old. got accepted at 15, dougie hauser, in the house. only dougie hauser became a doctor. >> i was on campus at 15. boy genius. maybe some day i'll make >> there were high hopes for you once. >> there was. and then there wasn't. >>> look at this. so this little kid loves his little sister so much she's there wrestling, and he's like, no! back off. this is during a sanctioned kindergarten wrestling match. the brother of the girl there runs out onto the mat. the younger bother was 2 years old a

the one thing that always pulled him back, the constant in his life, something local is here in harvard so that when he's at school he realizes that the person that he wants to become is his father, a harvard professor so much so that he changes his name to arthur schlesinger, jr. like his father. least able to pull at various times contacts to provide favors to smooth things over for him. even the way in which arthur senior is able to maneuver things to get -- to make sure that he gets his fellowship at the society of fellows and the offer from harvard is forthcoming even on the prizes, his father is influential, there's a sense both outsider and insider and ultimately the harvard connection even with jfk, the harvard connection is something which is kind of a -- kind of an unmoving part of his life, very often rescues him. >> think someone coming to your book that hasn't spent a lot of time at the library might be surprised at how arthur schlesinger was not in the inner circle of the kennedy administration and from your book i get the sense that he was frustrated by that. >> he was fr

to see them at harvard as just hot. that's not right. >> tucker: how about if a woman is intelligent. not all people are. the same with men. is it okay to acknowledge that you find someone attractive? or is that a form of assault? >> he felt that it was wrong because they had a group of guys sitting around. they were not talking about how intelligent these women. they were ranking these women 1 to 10 according to how hot they were. he felt it was wrong and he was helping a culture of rape on the campus of harvard. >> tucker: but they were not raping people? >> well, harvard has a high incidence of rape and 30% of women graduate from harvard say they are victims of sexual assault. >> tucker: i don't know where you got those stats. but in this case these men were not planing to go out and assault anybody. weren't they just saying i find this girl attractive? >> we don't know what they did. men were behaving badly and are at campuses across the country and at harvard they are speaking inappropriately about women. >> tucker

i'm a professor at harvard. my cousin is dead. he went to present at 15 on a first arrest for an attempted carjacking. terrible thing to stand up in public and have to talk about the person you love who committed an attempted carjacking. the only good thing that can be said is the only person who got hurt was michael. the victim got his gun and shot him through the next and in the analyst on the way to the hospital, he obviously confessed what had happened but in addition he confessed to having robbed three people today previously and another person a week before. he had done anything like this, we were caught completely by surprise. california had passed its three strikes you're out law and what is meant he was told by the judge that if you went to trial and was convicted on all the things he confessed to he would receive 25 years to life so he was sentenced to 12 years and eight months and went to prison as 15, was transferred to adult prison at 17 for reasons that are opaque and i've not been able to get from the record and got

the fact of the matter, these are tiny compared -- not talking about harvard and yale. whether there are endowments for $500 billion, and one of the great things trump is doing, i know the guy who proposed this, the tax bill, and endowment tax, in harvard and yale, 10% endowment tax could pay for student loans. >> in a different way inasmuch, we didn't have the internet, the information, and -- we don't need encyclopedias, we have it all and may be, reorganize -- >> internet has greatly increased power of conservatives, broken the information monopoly the left used to have. a lot of things happening. trump movement is the biggest, first time, second time, the tea party appeared i said finally, at last, a grand army is forming and now it is much bigger. there is hope in that but let's not underestimate the odds. >> the hardest thing for conservatives is how to understand the liberal mind, the logic. i know you said it is a religion that doesn't require -- a faith-based type of thing. and the book on the liberal mind helped explain some of it but children and students are

so far, you've met the young charles krauthammer, harvard medicine, class of '75. his life seemed to be going according to plan, but then no life ever really does. this snapshot was taken in may 1972. it shows a strapping 6'1" charles krauthammer standing on the beach. it's the confident smile of a young man well on his way to making it -- smart, athletic, handsome, driven, the future all his. >> that was spring break in my first year in medical school. i went with a bunch of friends to bermuda. that actually is the last picture of me taken standing. of course, i didn't know at the time. and i was coming out of the water carrying my sandals. i saw one of my friends with a camera, and then when i got to the top of the dune, i just stood there for a picture. thought nothing of it until i discovered it years later lying around in a box. and remembering it, of course, it was a fateful picture. >> fateful because of what would happen back at harvard that summer. you were 22 years old. tell me about that day. >> i went out. we had -- it was -- it was the end of my first

i said, baby, you'll never go to harvard, right? [laughter] we don't care about those ivy league freakings. i said, what you're going to do is go to the greatest school thathe i've ever known, which is liberty university. [cheers and applause] and i was here -- someday my 11-year-old who i love more than life is going to apply for a school, i'm going to call president falwell and say, baby, please metler in -- letter her in, because i love her. she's going to sit in these same seat that is you do and get the faith and the love and the blessings that you guys have here every day. because without that, you cannot be successful. that's what you get at this university, so thank you. [applause] >> you know, corey called me last january on a saturday is, okay -- his people who called. at 3 1:00 in the morning, said can you be in iowa at 5:00. and so we jumped on a plane, i said you've got to pay for the plane. the lawyer says liberty can't pay for it. so pay said for the plane. we were there, we showed up for thee rally. full auditorium,

we >> well, harvard has a high incidence of rape and 30% of women graduate from harvard say they are victims of sexual assault. h it is a problem. >> tucker: i don't know where you got those stats but in this case, these men weren't planning on going out and assaulting anybody. they were just saying i find this girl attractive. >> we don't know what these men did. but we know men were behaving badly and are behaving badly at campuses around the country and that we find out that it harbored these guys are speaking in a properly about women. >> tucker: is this a transferable crime? if a bunch of women are sitting around and they say you know, i that guys kind of attractive or hot. >> women are not the ones committing the rapes? >> tucker: they are allowed to say that? >> women aren't harming anyone. it's not a problem if they do this. if men are harming women, which we know they are, then it's a problem. >> tucker: because -- i am trying to get the standards, as i always do when you come on. trying to figure out the new rules. so because some men harm women, know men are allowed to say

said, baby, you'll never go to harvard. we don't care about the ivy league freaks. never go to happen. said you're going the greatest school that i've ever known, which is liberty university, and i was here -- [applause] >> some day, my 11-year-old, who i love more than life, is going apply for a school and i'm going to call president falwell and say, please let her in because i love her and she's going to sit in these very same seats you do and get the faith and the love and the blessings that you guys have here every day, because without that you cannot be successful. and that's what you get at this university. so thank you. >> corey called me last january on a saturday -- i'm not sure who called -- at 11:00 in the morning and said can you be in iowa at 5:00? we jumped on a plane. i said you have to pay for the plane. the lawyer says liberty can't pay for it. they paid for the plane and we were there and we showed up nor rally, full auditorium like this, and i said what am i here for? they said you're the moderator. i said, oh, okay. so, just trump and me went out

they were religious institutions, harvard, yale. and what they were there for was to instill the doctrines of the particular denomination. because they were training ministers and priests and so forth. and that's what our universities have become today except that the religious doctrines that they teach and instill are the doctrines of marxism, identity politics which is cultural marxism which i'll explain shortly. and for those of you that are mystified that college students should want to -- it's not just, believe me, there's a whole faculty cohort behind these pro-terrorist students and anti-democratic and anti-learning students. as i said when i was a radical -- and i considered myself a marxist revolutionary at the time -- i wanted to hear what our opponents were saying. i wanted to be able to answer them. and i was in school to learn how to do that. that's the way i perceived it. if you want to understand why there's this concerted effort to shut down the other side of the debate, it's because these religious institutions now

then off to harvard business. but when he goes to yale and harvard, he is very much a texan. wearing that beat up levi's, chewing tobacco with a spit cup walking around and goes to harvard wearing the national guard jacket pointedly to make a statement to the counterculture that dominate boston massachusetts at that time that was overrepresented on the harvard campus. he is the anti- antihero. >> his father runs for president but possibly he did not want to embarrass his father he takes that love and loyalty seriously in making a significant life change gets very involved in the campaign to play the enforcer with access and learns about politics but there is the extraordinary moment that after his father when, he asks a staffer to write up a report about presidential children and sons in particular. it basically says shut up and keep your head down. you cannot succeed or fail without reflecting the president will punish you to mediocrity is a win. he clearly internalizes that and says i will not follow that script with amazing insight he asks for then discard that entirely. s

he has taught at union theological seminary the yale university, a harvard and the -- at harvard of course and the university of paris. he received his ma and phd in philosophy from princeton. he graduated from harvard college magna cum laude in three years. an extensive author, his seminole book, one of the greatest books i have ever written -- i have ever read, excuse me.

so you can't tell people don't send your kids to harvard or yale. look, it's a political battle. conservatives don't like politics. there's a huge handicap for conservatives. when i first came to the right, looked around and said, where's the ground army? there is none. conservatives, politics is a dirty business that we engage in every 18 months. outside the 18 months, unless we're trying to get some favors for our companies or something like that, outside the 18 months we go back to normal life, which is creative. we are creating jobs, creating products. we are making peoples lives better. that's what conservatives do. whereas leftists are at war all the time. >> right, and inasmuch as we are the creators, we created these universities, we can re-create new universities, the online university. it is as if information is available now. period i don't know much about -- i've done fundraisers but i've never been to hillsdale. because i think there president is a very traditional conservative who doesn't approve of my confrontational politics. but the fact of the matter is these ar

we are not talking about harvard and yale and their endowments for $500 billion. by the way one of the great things trump is doing and i know the guy that proposed this, the tax bill is an endowment on universities like harvard and yale. we didn't have the immediate information instantaneous. we don't need encyclopedias now. maybe we just need to reorganize -- hispanic [inaudible] has greatly increased the power of the conservatives and spoke about information and all but used to have. a lot of things are happening. when the teen party appeared i said finally at last. but now it is much bigger. let's not underestimate the odds. >> i think the hardest thing for a conservative is how to understand the liberal mind. the logic. >> i read the book on the liberal mind that helped explain some of it. but children and students are impressionable and their minds are not fully formed. but the professors and the leaders are [inaudible] >> i've written so much about this, the second volume is called progressives. they are looking at what you are capable of both good and bad.

we had some good times together at harvard law. we shall continue to have good times even though we have deep disagreements on this issue. that's precisely what this temple of learning is all about based on brother harlan's vision. but most importantly it has to deal with the future of not just the middle east but also the future of the united states given our intimate relations with the state of israel. what kind of moral character, what kind of human values are are we ng to promote, going to forget the very ugly realities in gaza and west bank? always forget the second class citizenship of palestinians inside of the state of israel. and are we to forget that almost half a million refugees still labor outside of israel and outside of the occupied territories? it's very difficult in the united states to have a candid, robust, honest conversation about our relation to israel and about the complexity of our precious jewish brothers and sisters in israel and our precious palestinian brothers and sisters under those occupied territorie

early on and made the vietnam veterans memorial into a harvard business school problem. i owe a lot to the harvard business school, i owe a lot to west point for getting this done. this book is fantastic. it should be the official history of the vietnam veterans memorial. it is also a history of art and art history and washington, d.c. this is not the first time people have disagreed over a structure. i wonder if you could tell us about the fdr memorial. many of us have been to it, but we do not know about the one that was not built. james: you are putting me on the spot about details of the whole thing. for something like the vietnam war where the dead were a lot less than world war i and world war ii, the memorials for fdr and for george washington, and we know that general eisenhower continues on with terrific contention between the family yoursr this memorial of to have become a reality in five years is absolutely amazing. and, you know, even something like the george washington memorial, the design itself was totally different initially than what was built. in that

and all i know is that beats harvard than harvard beats prince ton. but i will leave it to you to discuss these things. thank you very much. zpwod bless everyone. guest: merry christmas. as far as the personal question there is one group of -- one place where beats harvard than harvard beats prince ton. norwe that wasn't in the midwest. so i'm not related to midwestern olsons but my great grandfather was a ship builder. i'm part of the norweigian community from bay ridge where they grew up. to long we moved out island. so i'm proud to be a new york norweigian. when you say republican-democrat. that's what ronald reagan was. he never left franklin roosevelt behind. he never left the promises of the new deal and their sense that the federal government is necessary needs to make sure that everyone has a decent opportunity and that you could regulate and tax in order to achieve that. think that's exactly the ism ing class republican that we need. i think if the republican party were to move back it would find many, many more people to be open and also fin

welcome to cambridge forum live in harvard square and thank you for joining us for what promises to be a timely and somewhat edgy discussion about trust. a small word that one with huge ramification today in the technological world who can you trust? it is the subject of tonight's forum and also the title of rachel latest book on the subject. i director of the forum pleased to have rachel oz our guest speaker tonight on the last stop with her nine week tour which rather begs question of why is trust such a hot topic around the world at this point in history? it is a time when confidence in institution and governments this is all time low. but when there's been a huge surge in growth of shared economy companies like airbnb, tinder and Über statistics show that we're shifting our trust away from institutions toward individuals. or some would say strangers in areas is diverse as dating, banking, to sharing rides or hiring nannies been investigating to try to understand how technology is transforming trust and destroying what complications are for our decision in life work and business. a

if it were not for the students and their attitude, you were talking backstage about harvard recently. i grew up in a town called massachusetts and i'm a blue-collar guy that had an opportunity to be on the campaign and harvard university called me and said wha would you meet with one of our fellows and the difference between what he's done here and what they did at harvard is night and day. it is amazing how you understand what the real america is like and when you go to cambridge massachusetts, they live in a fantasy world. you are so entitled. they have the smartest o, the greatest, the best. what you have here is so different and let me give you one example. they wouldn't let me slow my truck down in front of cambridge massachusetts because they hate everything trump stands for and the fact that he's a populist and they want to make america great again and make sure that the premise made on the campaign trail is fulfilled as a president that is and what they want us there. up there. they want rhetoric, they want things that make other countries great again and it is so refreshing

. >> this story behind a teenager's reaction on getting into harvard. >> harvard. ng into harvard. >> har vaurd. >>> all right, we're going to start things out. we're going to get academic right now for "this happened". and we're going to start with a boy named airton little and his acceptance into harvard. here's the thing. airton is 16 years old. >> did he make it? i can't tell. >> i think he made it in. so he is going to be part of harvard's class of 2022. harvard tweeted back to the video which is making the rounds, saying congratulations and welcome to harvard. he turned 16 years old. the video really reminds me of when mark zuckerberg got accepted to harvard for the class of 2006. let's check that out. >> i don't know. what does it say? i can't see it. >> oh, man. >> he's, he seems really -- >> what? >> i got accepted. >> are you serious? >> yeah. >> all right. >> i got accepted. >> i got accepted. >> that's his reaction. i got accepted. by the way, speaking of 16-year-olds getting into college, we have a boy wonder right here. kendis gibson went to college a

we are not talking about harvard and yale. whether they are endowments, every billion dollars, by the way, one of the great things trump is doing and i know the guy who proposed this, part of this tax bill, and endowment tax on private universities like harvard and yale. 10% endowment tax would pay for all the student loans. >> trying to think in a different way inasmuch as we didn't have a median information instantaneous, we use to buy -- we don't need encyclopedias now, we have it all and just reorganized. >> the internet has greatly increased the power of conservatives. it has broken the monopoly, the information monopoly the left used to have. a lot of things are happening. the trump movement is the biggest -- first time -- second time -- when the tea party appeared i said finally at last, a ground army is forming, now it is much much bigger so there's hoping that. but let's not underestimate the odds, let's be sober about that. >> i think the hardest thing for conservatives is how to understand the liberal mind, the logi
