also the coaches from harvard and princeton. they were the three biggest college football programs at the time. invites them to a football summit. football is on trial said roosevelt in the private meeting because i believe in the game and want to do all i can to save it. he encouraged the coaches to eliminate brutality and they promised they would. whether they really meant it is another matter. walter camp did not see anything wrong with the weight football was played. he practically invented the game and he tweaked the rules. they thought they got things just about right. he was very happy with the way football was. he took roosevelt more seriously. as a harvard man they understood the threat to football differently. they still wanted to eliminate the game. it was on the verge of success at harvard. this would have encouraged them. it would have encouraged other once you do the same. that would have endangered the future. at the end of the 1905 season. to form an organization that today we know of as the ncaa. to reduce the v

epstein was close friends with the president of harvard, provost of harvard, noam chomsky, david gergen, you name it, almost every major academic was a friend of jeffrey epstein's. so, he, all of these people were there at the time and, nobody suspected that anything, anything was wrong or he did anything at all that was untoward. soon as i found out that, my relationship changed completely. i represented him as a lawyer but he had to pay me for every minute i spoke to him. it was never a friendship after that. once the case was over, my relationship with him ended. he would call me on the phone periodically to check about status of earlier case but we didn't have a relationship or friendship after that. i was introduced to him by a very elegant and eminent women named the lady rothschild, lynn rothschild. the wife of lord rothschild. it was in that context i met prince andrew, came to my class, wrote a letter. probably worth a couple bucks now. i have a dear alan letter, signed andrew, he thanks me for inviting him to the class. describes how much he learned in the class. he mostly lea

that is why it went after harvard and yale. this affects juts about every college and university in the united states. folks at those institutions are concerned because they're typically not subject to this kind of enforcement scrutiny. reporter: the office of science and technology policy inside of the white house believes countries like china and others see that universities as soft target. the director says that they want to make sure that this money does not buy influence to get to the research. he agrees. >> china trying to influence what's happening in the united states. china trying to steal trade secrets and this to me is a whole of government response from the united states government. we don't expect this kind of thing from the department of education and that's why this is so unique. reporter: the department of education found that from 2014 to 201815 u.s. schools received more than $15 billion from hand ban alone, a propaganda arm of the chinese government. last july the office of science and technology policy creat

from harvard, too, is that right? >> i'll ask the questions. >> i think we should probably note that again. but in any case, when think i did want to, though is who has benefited? we have seen this toward 20 from fortune 100 companies. the corporations are small corporations and most can't afford to operate a pac. they can't afford to have a lobbyist here and those of the corporations that are really benefiting from this. those are closely held corporations were i think we can usually find a shareholder benefit. your specific question regarding the press i think it's worth noting the supreme court has never held that the press has rights that other american citizens do not. there is polling data that shows if you ask people she would limit spending but the press is exempt, support for limiting spending drops to medically. people don't think the press should have exemptions. less than 50% support restricted spending if the press as exempt or they don't see any reason why discussed just because their members of the nati

>> guest: well, he and mark were two sophomore at harvard. geeky, kind of socially inept kids who were kind of on the outside, and they met in an underground jewish fraternity at harvard. and mark came up with the idea of facebook and went to his best friend and said if you puppet $1,000, you'll get 30% of the company. and that's essentially where it started. these were the two guys who were there in the very beginning, but there's a lot more to the story than that. people who have seen the movie, it's pretty intense and announcement what happens. >> host: what happened? >> guest: well, it actually started as a college prank. it was late one night. mark zuckerberg was drinking, he had been on a really bad date. he hacked into all the computers at harvard and pulled up pictures of every girl on campus, and he made a web site where you could vote on who the hottest girl was. this got 20,000 hints in under a few hours -- hits. mark almost got kicked out of college. instead the, you know, he went to his friend and said if people could put their o

i went to harvard law. [applause]. thank you that was kind. i went to harvard law school. [applause]. and the only thing i did many note was when the competition which is the move towards competition, i would note that on these legal issues, and i was told we were going to talk about the political implication it of inpatient which i am going to talk about. ellen sort of, i think rehearsed is speech to the senate and then added that attack on cnn. he did, know that a lot of people disagree with him. the exact over the new york times is most of the scholars disagree with me. i think they are wrong. i think they are right. and we can have a debate about that. but i don't think that is fair for example, to question the motives of people to the extent of saying that if hillary clinton, had been impeached for doing what donald trump did, all of those people would've necessarily been on the other side. i think when you start using lines. i am sorry guys, you may not want to hear event you're not going to like what you appear in from the voters either.

you know who is the number one seed of endowments, it is harvard. with $40 billion under management last year and the faculty of arts and sciences voted in favor of divestment 179-20 and the university president said it is under consideration. the faculty thinks that investing in fossil fuels makes them look bad. they are right kids take climate change very seriously. and the faculty doesn't control the portfolio but they have a very loud voice. even if you think climate change is a hoax, you have to admit it is a successful hoax people believe a real problem for people at universities, that is why i expect more and more schools to get on board tor divestiture bandwagon and push these stocks down long-term. for example, late last month pen announces they would no longer invest in coal and that is what georgetown did two years ago and divot from fossil fuel six months ago the university of california system is investing in fossil fuel but they didn't do it to placate environmentalists. as the chief investment officer explains it we believe hanging on

joining me now is wendy sherman now at harvard's kennedy school, and james stavridis. both of you have long experience with this dreadful war that has consumed america and taken so many american lives and left so many of our men and women wounded. but a lot of caution here, this is the taliban and, admiral, we're talking about a tentative deal for a seven-day cessation of violence which would then lead to larger talks with the kabul government itself perhaps host bid one of the partners. we're a long way from peace. >> we're so far from peace in our time. hopefully what we're also far from is a vietnamlike crash and burn. three quick points, andrea, based on four years as nato commander, commanding 150,000 troops in this fight from 2009 to 2013, number one, there is no war-fighting solution here. we're not going to kill our way to success. we have to negotiate a conclusion. number two, the taliban are in plaquable, very difficult. the fact that the ambassador who is negotiating this thing, has managed to get it this far is a tribute given how difficult the opponents ar

he was like, look at this guy harvard,wn here from doing this work. then he says to moses, but you know, if you really want to be about it, mccomb is easy. where you really need to go is to amity county because there is about one black person registered to vote between the two counties. what moses knew was that if he took the easy route -- and understand when i say easy, i have it in big quotes. he knew that in order to fully gain the trust, because movement building is also about trust. in order to gain the trust of black mississippians, he would have to go where they live. he went into amity county. it got almost like quiet in here. he started doing the civic education classes, voter education classes, then he went to go register some folks to vote. he got arrested. think about that. you just got arrested for registering american citizens to vote. but he knows he has the protection of the federal government. so he calls john doerr, who is an assistant in bobby kennedy's office. he calls john doerr with the one phone call he gets. he calls john doerr

i went to harvard law, thank you. that was kind. i went to harvard law school. the only thing i did of any note was when the moot court competition. i would note on these legal issues and i was told we would , talk about the political implications of impeachment which i'm going to talk about. alan sort of i think rehearsed his speech to the senate and added an attack on cnn. he did note that a lot of people disagreed with him. the exact quote from the new york times is most of the scholars disagree with me. i think they're wrong. i think they are right. and we could have a debate about that. i don't think it is fair to question the motives of people to the extent of saying if hillary clinton had been impeached for doing what donald trump did come all those people would have necessarily been on the others. i think when you start using lines -- i'm sorry, guys. you're may not want to hear it but you're not gonna like what you hear in november from the voters either. i -- >> let's keep it civil place. >> i'm perfectly happy to have a civil discussion. and i think w

these were the good looking, cool guys at harvard, the studs on campus. they had been working on their own web site which was kind of a dating site for harvard men. they had hired mark to do their web site. mark blew them off of and launched facebook, so they claimed it was theirs and ended up suing. two separate lawsuits and a whole lot of fun. >> host: and this all came to you via -- >> guest: well, it started with eduardo, randomly out of the blue. i had a book called "bringing down the house" which was a movie called 21 which a lot of college kids, every college kid saw. so they had seen my movie, and they thought i would be the right guy to tell the story. i'm not a journalist who kind of tells these dark stories. they wanted me to tell it because it was about brilliant kids doing something wild and incredible. eduardo was angry and did want someone to tell his story, but it grew and grew from there. i began finding all the elements and that's where the story came. >> host: when and and why did eduardo -- by the way, the numbers are on the screen in

she had taken chances, i was able to go on and earn a scholarship to yale college and graduate from harvard law school: in. ... >> when i was 5 my mother graduated from college. i remember getting a new dress for the occasion, the first i'd owned that was that fancy. it had laced trim and delicate flower print. my mother bought me a child-size graduation cap and gown and let me walk with her in the processional. we are graduating, i told my family as we walked past the aisle, graduating with her degree my mother changed both of our lives, how the value she had put in education had been in my core, better herself and her family would set me up for success. the day after graduation ceremony the local newspaper ran a picture of the two of us, my mother and me standing side by side, i focused forward graduating to the next phase of our lives. and so the last thing that i want to talk about about the book and then i would love to hear your thoughts and questions and have a conversation about appalachia and depictions of appalachia and how it's rural poverty and different than urban poverty and e

strength of parties of the strength of s,r guilt i don't know how many senators with a professor from harvard. and with alexander hamilton it is harming our ability to function as the united states tenant and is already getting threadbare. and with those bills to the american people you have done in a bipartisan fashion despite the witnesses and animus in the senate. and highlighting the farm bill and on the ag committee to work together to accomplish great things along with senators stevan on and the least partisan committee this is what we do in the senate and for ranchers and everybody throughout small-town america and the charge was certainty and we had to get it done. and then to get it done so i ask then to rise to a level and then the constitution requires e for each senator and all of us in the senate have concerns the direction this country is headed and coming to time and time again these are not the worst of times when i first arrived here in the senate within weeks we had a horrible tragedy of martin tluther king. washington was burning sandbags and live ammunition. vietnam tour t

another woman named mabel ball was a harvard -- at harvard eather.waiting out wh the race was on. the lindbergh aero was there, lindbergh had flown the atlantic. it was just air mindedness and everyone was interested in aviation. there were all kinds of records and flights being taken. everyone was involved in the public loved it, they ate it up. it was a very exciting time. androught about investment interest and regulation, all the things aviation needed to actually become a form of transportation and grow into, of course, military flying, airline, and more of what we know today. 17, 1928, ehrhardt --earhart left newfoundland in the plane. she was promised time at the wheel, at the controls. but it was not to be. during the 20 hour, 40 minute flight, she got zero flight time. however, she was able to pilot the plane from very port in wales to its final stop in southhampton, england. she said, i happened to be a woman and the first to make a transatlantic crossing by air, and the press and public seemed to be more interested in that fact than anything else. subsectiono mulch is a

he didn't ask the mathematicians from stanford or harvard. he asked the brilliant mathematician from west virginia state university to calculate my trajectory, and make sure i get home safe. that says a lot about what catherine was to not only nasa, but what she meant to the individuals she worked with. they relied on her. they put their lives in her hands. so, what she meant to nasa was that we won the space race, and catherine johnson played a very signet control in that. you know -- significant role in that. you know, catherine is about dashes from a small town about two hours from west virginia state university. we had the privilege before the rest of the world fell in love with catherine johnson, to have her beautiful face on our campus at the tender age of 10. she was unable to go to high school in her hometown because of the hue of her skin, so she and her family had to pack up and travel for two hours to west virginia state university. we have then an elementary school and a high school that were part of the university at the time. so

i am a harvard professor. i get to give homework. this is your homework, in my. first, ask god to give you the strength to do the hard thing. to go against your human nature. to follow jesus's teachings. you believe in jesus, act like it. ask god to take political contempt from your heart. sometimes when it is just too hard, ask god to help you fake it. second, make a commitment to somebody else to reject contempt. of course you will disagree. you need to disagree with other people. that is what makes america great. the competition of ideas. that is right and good, but do it without contempt. ask somebody to hold you accountable. the republic leader. maybe -- you are a public leader. go out looking for contempt. it is your opportunity for moral perfection. when people treat you with hatred, you enter with love, you will change the country. it is like being a missionary. i have missionaries on both sides of my family. they are so full of joy in the face of rejection. you know the words nobody has ever said before?
