Putin, what is behind this new bromance . A lot in the broadcast but i want to begin with the day in trump. Joining me no discuss is bob beckel, his latest book is i should be dead, my life surviving politics, tv and addiction. Also matt louis author of too dumb to fail and kelly conway of keep the promise pac, a super pac towarding ted cruz. You liked a that an nation. Very funny. Kelly, this is the newest fox news poll out tonight and it shows that trump is really dominating, at 39 , ted cruz 18 , marco rubio 11 and everyone else down three or lower, and that includes jeb bush. So trump would say im at the top, you should be covering me. Yes, we know hes at the top, but thats a lot of ground for ted cruz to make up. Sure, but we like the trend lines so in this latest fox news poll, like some other National Polls, you see donald trump rising, you see ted cruz rising and you see establishment favorite, washington favorite marco rubio flat lining, going down three points in the fox news poll and ben carson has lost voters to ted cruz and trump. In the state polls, thats relevant. You see ted cruz on top in iowa, trump dominating New Hampshire, both of them on the top in South Carolina. The question for marco rubio is which of these states can you win . We know youre the favorite of the senates, we know you dont show up to work and you voted two times in all of november since the senate was in session in october. You had to get that in. Its true. What state can you win . Thats the question for all these folks. Matt, ted cruz has made no secret of drafting in the trump lane, right . Hoping to pick up those voters if trump does implode, it seems like hes going to implode. So is that likely to happen at this point if he does . I dont think its clear at all that ted cruz would inherit trumps voters. Its conventional wisdom that would happen but, in fact, trump has moderate and liberal republicans who support. Its not the right wing conservatives who support trump. I would say this, though can you say that again . Ive been saying that forever and no one believes me. Youre right according to the polling, everybody assumes trump has these right wing ultraconservative republicans but in fact he performs better among liberal and moderate republicans who if trump were to get out they may not go to ted cruz. I would say this, though. It doesnt matter about the National Polls because the National Polls will change once the early states vote and its likely ted cruz will in fact win the Iowa Caucuses. Is that because democrats and republicans have been saying donald trump is really a democrat. Go down the list of things. Hillary clinton came to his wedding, he supports Single Payer Health care. Hes been on both sides of the abortion issue. Donald trump is not a conser conservati conservative. He is very liberal. He is appealing to a populous strain of working class white reagan democrats, but not ideological free market conservative conservatives ted cruz is a legitimate conservative and i think ted cruz will do better with evangelicals who are prominent in the Iowa Caucuses. Barbara walters does her years most fascinating people at the end of every year. I found this moment fascinating from that special. Listen. If you lose the republican nomination, are you a loser . Certainly, yeah. Hate to say it. If i lost the nomination, yeah, i guess id call myself a loser. I never said that about myself before. I want to win, i want to make America Great again. If i lose the nomination, thats what i am. Lets say you become the president , when you leave office, in one word, what would you like your legacy to be. A victory. Ha, ha, ha. I found that fascinating. And i found the view of central park gorgeous. Its very telling. You can see that pained look on his face to even associate himself with the word loser bob beckel. Listen, i know democrats well and donald trump aint no democrat. The fact is, it may be across the board in National Polling that he does pick up moderate and liberals but in iowa hes got you say reagan democrats, theyre quite conservative. But cruz i think will win in iowa. That will change the dynamics of this. Ive been in six president ial races, these polls in december are very misleading and whoever wins will have momentum. Now there will be bob, can i you said something, again, i want the others to follow up on it but you first. Maybe hes not a typical conservative. Maybe hes not a democrat and thats the appeal that he is drawing to what matt said that people are sometimes somewhere in the middle. Hes a populist. Go back to williamsjennings bryant and every time there is disenchantment you have people who come up through the ranks and grab hold of that. Theyre smart to do it. Ross perot was an example of that. So i think what you dont define him as a democrat or republican, you define him as a populist. I agree that. I totally agree. Let me add two big things. We have to give kudos to Bernie Sanders for doing the same thing. I know hes eclipsed by everybody trying to clean a Straight Line path for hillary clinton, nobody wants free Market Competition on that side but Bernie Sanders, too, don, has tapped into some type of populist antiwashington anticorporate sentiment. I wonder after hes out of the race, if and when, some of his voters go to the other populist in the race, donald trump. That scares me as a cruz person. You think people that far left are are they going to go back to hillary . Theyre going to say, you know what . I want the woman who makes 250,000 for a 15 minute speech and says very little. Whats the difference he has the trump lean. Okay. So listen, what if he does . Hes got this big national lead. What if he does lose to ted cruz in iowa, matt. Do you think that that could happen . I absolutely think ted cruz will win the Iowa Caucuses and then we go to New Hampshire and i think somebody whos not ted cruz will win in New Hampshire. It could be trump, but it might not be. It could be marco rubio or chris christie, even. If that happens then all of a sudden, its plausible that cruz wins iowa, i think thats likely. But if somebody other than trump wins in New Hampshire. Then trump is 0 for 2. Then the Barbara Walters questions comes into focus. A donald trump who built his entire campaign on the premise he is a winner will have lost the first two and arguably the most important primaries in the republican nomination contest. Does he collapse like a house of cards . Jeb bush is at 3 . Why is hes any n the race now . Why would he still be at the race now under that premise . Because he hasnt built, as he said, his whole campaign on being a winner and touting polls. A year ago we were on the show talking about how hes the prohibitive favorite, up by 40 points, the only one who can beat hillary clinton, shock and awe. Jeb bush what are you talking about . Explaining a year ago. Well, thats a year ago, we here in a different place now kellyanne, come on. Can i make one point about New Hampshire . New hampshire always throws a curveball in into this thing after iowa. Its hanned every election that ive been involved in out there and theyre not evangelical christian based. I think trump probably will win in New Hampshire but it also may revive a fourth person. Three will come out of iowa. The rest are gone with the exception of christie. And if christie gets revived in New Hampshire and comes in fourth or a close third then you have four coming out of New Hampshire and you go to South Carolina at which point i dont think christie has much of a chance. But lets remember enwhen you say where is rubio going to win . Florida isnt too far behind that. So for how long do we have to deal with this . Up until the convention . Possibly . Election day . Wow wont have a republican nominee theres proportional delegation. You can win a state but you can win it 19 in the second place, person could be at 17. The proportional means thats the problem for ted cruz, by the way. Thats one of the big potential problems for ted cruz is that hes really great in those s. E. C. Primary states in the south but he may not get that many kel gatts so its possible that cruz or he may. He might do okay but its possible cruz could have this momentum and wrack up early victories and not be accumulating that many delegates. Then they have to go north to places like michigan and wisconsin. I do not even get to and theyre winner that i can all states. I do not even get to the twitter wars and i thought it used to just be celebrities and now people running for president are fighting on twitter. What does this world come from . Thank you, everyone. If i dont see you, merry christmas. When we come back, the trump putin mutual admiration society. Why theyre putting tough talk aside and singing each others praises. Withof my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Ordinary objects often seemed. Intimidating. Doing something simple. Meant enduring a lot of pain.

Say happy holidays with milkbone Donald Trumps likes to say he would get along very well with Vladimir Putin and apparently the pefuelling is mutual. Asked about trump, putin said he is a bright and talented person, without any doubt hes the leader as n the president ial debates, as we see. What is behind the bromance . Joining me is christian whiten and former kgb general oleg kalugin. I want you to listen to how donald trump responsibilitied to the nice words from president putin. Do you like Vladimir Putins comments about you . Sure. When people call you brilliant its good. Especially when the person heads up russia. Yeah. Bell, i mean, also a person that kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries. Obviously that would be a concern, would it not . Hes running his country and at least hes a leader, unlike what we have in this country. But, again, he kills journalists that dont agree with him. Well, i think our country does plenty of killing also, joe, so, you know what do you mean by that . Theres a lot of stupidity going on in the world, joe, a lot of killing, a lot of stupidity and thats the way it is but you didnt ask me the question, you asked me a different question, so thats fine. I im im confused. You obviously condemn Vladimir Putin killing journalists and political opponent, right . Oh, sure, absolutely. Christian, whats your reaction to that . Im glad donald trump is on record hes against killing journalists. Its very untoward for an american president to strike moral equivalence between Vladimir Putin the strongman in russia and other our own leader or someone like that. Theres a real problem beyond the comedy and this is putin sees trump as putty in his hands. Putin has had great luck with the past to president. George bush thought he saw putins soul. He thought he was putins friend and that would change putins behavior and georgia learned that was not the case. President obama thought he could change russias calculation of its National Interest by changing our diplomatic tone, that didnt work as the people of ukraine can attest. Putin is great at manipulating president s and he sees Donald Trumps and trumps ego and he knows he can manipulate that. Oleg, you were a kgb general, the youngest in history, you know Vladimir Putin very well. A what is he up to flattering donald trump . Well, i would not say i know him quite well, actually, when i worked in st. Petersburg, leningrad at the time, he was in charge of hundreds of kgb officers, putin was one of them but i barely remember him. He was lowranking guy and i recall the former mayor of st. Petersburg who was a russian reform minded guy, he asked me oleg, name someone from the kgb i could be in touch with and i mentioned a couple of guys and he said no too high. Not highly placed. I need someone small. I could not name anyone. Then the mayor of st. Petersburg picked up his student from the law school of leningrad university, name of Vladimir Putin. And putin proved to be a very effective manager. At that time russia was in trouble with food supplies. So. Does he know what hes up to when he compliments donald trump . I think putin is smart enough to praise those who he believes may become leaders of the country and i think they are of more or less same mindset in my view. I do not i actually i believe i met trump many years ago in new york and i spoke something about russia and he was bored and left the you know, but i may be wrong. Any way, putin as i say is a guy who has been, well, very effective, taking advantage of High Oil Prices and his own, i would say, resolute decisive manner of dealing with his friends and enemies. And as mentioned before, well, those who would not agree may just get out. If i met you at cocktail or dinner party you would be the guy i would talk to all night. Christian, the comments from both men have gotten reaction. Mitt romney tweeted this an important distinction, thug putin kills journalists and opponents, our president s kill terrorists and enemy combatants. Do you think donald trump understands how ruthless putins russia is . He has to well this is for christian. Well, it would be as if you were endorsed by a hate group of the united states. You can reject those and should reject those endorsements. The fact that donald trump didnt do that, he previously before todays kind words for putin he gave putin an a rating when it came to discussing him. Comparing him unfavorably to president obama, im a big critic of president obama, but its it looks terrible for a president ial candidate. Its wrong but it looks terrible to say that a foreign dictator is better. Putin, why is he popular . Its not just killing journalists but encouraging the most base antigay sentiments of the russian population and wars of aggression. You put up the full screen, this is what you wrote today for cnn. Com. You ended by saying its a fanciedup version of a con man looking for his mask. Sorry, looking for his mark. Youre saying hes trying to manipulat manipulate. You see someone not great at calculating National Interests. He said its wonderful for putin to be in syria because putin is fighting isis. Well everyone now knows, not just on tv, that putin is not in syria to fight isis, he theres to back up aside and fight assads other opponents including people who back, whom the turks back. And if you look at the way that putin deal with journalists, people who challenge him get assaulted. But if you suffer trumps antings patiently hell love you. So this is someone easy to manipulate and putin was probably trained about that very well as a young kgb officer. Oleg, do you think this is real, then . One would wonder why each guy would be attracted to complimenting each other . Well putin is a smart guy. So his american guests, i believe they have something common in terms of their mindsets. I may be wrong but thats my impression as i watch television and read the stuff. And probably they do like each other so its a matter of taste. Very Interesting Campaign season. Thank you, gentlemen, happy holidays to you. When we come back, the muslim teacher who says she lost her job for talking about islam in class and for showing a malala video. Is islamophobia out of control . Well talk about it. Hey, what are having . A High School History teacher in new jersey is suing the school saying she was fired for talking about islam and showing a video of Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize. Joining me now is the teacher and her attorney. Thank you for joining us. So you were one of several teachers to show this film, right . Of the Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai. Why did you decide to show this video . Its the story is not about the video. First of all, its not my fault, its jon stewart, the daily show, i love him. One of my students always sent me links to all his shoes so i listened to it, the teacher was showing it, she sent me the link and for me as a High School Teacher it will be shes a role model for my students. But someone had shown the video before you, right . Yes. Who wasnt muslim, right . And there was no problem. But i want to play a clip of what you showed in class. Here it is. And i used to think that the taliban would come and just kill me, but then i said if he comes, what would you do, malala . Then i would reply to myself, malala, take a shoe and hit him. [ laughter ] but then i said if you hit a talib with your shoe then there would be no difference between you and the talib, you must not treat others that much with crilety and that much harshly, you must fight others, but through peace and dialogue and education. Then i said ill tell him how important education is and that i even want education for your children as well. And i will tell him thats what i want to tell you, now do what you want. So what was the objection to that . The objection, the administration called me come right now and they said parents complained that this muslim teacher is bringing too much from her own culture. And i was asked to stop doing Current Events for the rest of the year. The story is not about the current event, its the story is about how this administration handled that issue, handled it instead of discussing it with one or two parents out of 122 students i showed in different classes, its they attacked me. I was asked to be changed. Is it true that you were prohibited from mentioning islam in your High School Classes after the parents and local religious leaders complained to school straitors . Is that correct . I heard from many staff and many local people that a lot of people have been complaining about the muslim teacher whos bringing what were the complaints . That im bringing so much about my culture and slam to current event. And current event is chosen by students but if a student has misconception, misunderstanding i explain it its my duty. Im a muslim, im a palestinian, im an arab and im a proud american. As an american citizen, its many i duty to address and as a muslim misunderstandings of staff and people about islam. Islam is a beautiful religion if people understand it and its my duty to explain and i explained her role as a young woman. So i guess the parents didnt feel it was her duty to do that . How did you get i know its a longer story, you went through a process but in the short time we have explain how you got involved in this. My client called med and said i would like to speak with you. She came to the office and explained everything and i said thats discrimination. They treated her differently from other teachers because of who she was. She was a palestinian, she was a muslim, an arab. Other teachers were able to show the video which is very interesting. The video is very positive. It shows how taliban will not allow children who are to be able to educated, especially specifically women. And what happened to her when she was shot. She was on the bus on her way to school. Exactly. S very positive. So then so do you think they felt this was too political possibility for school or for the students and this you shouldnt be im trying to understand this. The issue is if a social studies teacher, a history teacher does not bring Current Events, controversial which is 24 hours in the media to the classroom, who is going to do it . Science . Math teacher . Its my responsibility when students bring a current event to add to it, explain it. So i was treated as youre a muslim and you should not talk about islam. Dont mention youre arabic, dont discuss it. Did they explain why . No. In the meeting, the stress i used to go through. They paged me one time to come to the main office and then a minute later they page it had Union Representative and then as soon as you feel those two there is a conflict, theres an issue. My heart will stop, sometimes they will email me in the middle of teaching. I walk there nervous and instead of addressing the parents issue they accuse me, not that its my fault, not that theres a misunderstanding from the students or parents. You can respond. We reached out to the school, they did not respond to us and they havent said anything. Go on. You ask the question if this was too political. It was not too political for other teachers. Why would it be political for a teacher who happened to be a muslim. Many parents complaints, you asked them to compare john browns actions at Harpers Ferry to osama bin ladens actions on september 11. Thats according to the lawsuit and thats frequently shared on blogs, online database, u. S. History teachers. This was in an assignment to teach student, correct . Its a documentbased question called what caused the civil war given by the school, 12 years history teacher taught the same thing and the background essay compares september 11 to civil war. But i never the student accused me that i compared him. Student wrote some question about september 11, some of them that were not even born but i explain it but the kids rose the question. Thats what the parents accuse me but not what i did. How has this affected your life and family . Its been so stressful. The last day of ramadan which was i was just getting up, preparing for eid the next day. The fbi knocking on my door. July 17 was one of the hardest days on my life. I spent my holiday i could not talk to my family overseas, i spent it crying, upset. Ive been stressed. Why did the fbi come . The issue i think the school did not was not enough for them to dismiss her. What they did, they went and called the fbi on her. Accused me of being a terrorist. And thats well, then, according, the school has not responded so according to you the fbi is it documented the fbi accused you of being you say they accused you of they said you were fired from the school and you went to the Board Meeting and theres students put in his facebook that youre a Palestinian Terrorist and the school did not even discuss it with the students or anything. I was the one who was punished and accused and investigated about my religion and family and history. We would love to hear from the school and School District to get their side of the story. And we wish you well. Don, i want to mention something. You know the clock boy, he made the clock and he was suspended. And he was arrested. Then there is a student who posted to facebook about the teacher calling her a terrorist, that other student should be afraid of her, Nothing Happened to her. Instead, the teacher was dismissed. I have to say to you, and these cases are different. The clock the young man accused of the clock thing is different and in some case, to be honest, its nebulous. This is a different story if all of the information shakes out the way you said it. Two Different Cases but, again, we want to bring light to what is happening to Muslim Americans but we much take each particular case on its own merits. Im out of time but i thank you. Please come back. Up next, reaction to the case plus the home work assignment that led to the closing of an entire virginia School District today.

Com schools in augusta county, virginia, are closed today stemming from the backlash over an islamic home work assignment in a High School Geography class that some parents feel is an attempt to promote the islamic faith. Joining me is Imam Abdullah tenially of duke university, legal analyst mel robbins and buck sexton, National Security editor at the blaze. Imam, were going to get to that but first i want you to talk about the story of the teacher here. Does it sound like she was treated fairly . Maybe i have a different perspective because as im getting responses, people are saying religion should be kept out of schools, Public Schools, i went to a Catholic School so everything was based in religion. In a Public School was she treated fairly . It doesnt sound like a fair story. We shouldnt jump into conclusion and look and wait to hear the school side of the story but im not at all surprised. I think for so long, especially in the last couple of months we have been feeding and nurturing fear and fuelling the fire around the scare culture of muslims. Her story started in 2013. You cant base it on the current political cycle. This started in 2013 for her. I think this kind of irresponsible coverage of islam and muslims and the fear culture has been increasingly going on since 9 11 and when people are scared common sense go out of the window. People are not able to establish Malala Yousafzai from osama bin laden. But as you have been been covering, we have to wait and see if there will be a normal investigation and we should hear the version of the story the School Administration will come up with. Mel, i wish we could have the school come on. Mel, did you hear any reason why she should have have been fired . I didnt hear any reason why she should be fired. I dont know the specifics of the case, don, but im sitting here floored because the story of malala, somebody who has won the Nobel Peace Prize named the time person of the year, there was my sons fourth grade Public School they had something called a wax museum where kids could be a historical figure to teach other people about somebody that inspired them, three girls dressed up as malala in fourth grade. Nobody had a problem with it. Why . Probably because it wasnt a muslim teacher so i do think this smells funny and it wouldnt be the outcome of a teacher who wasnt muslim. She said a teacher who wasnt muslim showed a video before her and it was not a problem. Than that in and of itself to me is a piece of fact, don, that is really troubling. But i dont know all the facts in the case, the other issues people were complaining about so beyond the malala issue i cant comment. All right. Im talk to buck sexton now. Whats your opinion in the proper role in teaching islam in the middle east in the classroom . Especially a social studies class. I think its essential to understand as much as you can about these issues. Im somebody who is studying arabic before 9 11 was studying the middle east in college before this became a prominent field of study so its essential that some students have some sense of whats going on in this part of the world that will be very important for the foreseeable future in terms of u. S. Foreign policy and strategic relationships across the globe. It should be taught. I think there are tremendous sensitivities in the classroom. Wherever were discussing religion, there has been a concerted effort to push christianity out of classrooms and Public Schools for some time now. So i think theres a sensitivefy apart from the heightened sense you cant say prayers in schools. Right. You in cant say prayer in school and theres a heightened sense of whats going on with islam and these debates about islamophobia but even underneath that theres a layer of you cant say a prayer before a football match now in school. So when you have students writing out the profession of faith which is central to being a muslim, there will be some parents who react to that and perhaps overreact as what we saw in this case. This is augusta county, virginia. All schools in the county were shut down over threats called in of a ward geography class was given a home work assignment that involved writing the shahada, the islamic statement of faith in calligraphy. Shahada. The assignment was about learning the complexity of calligraphy. What do you think . This is not where i would start. If theyre going to learn about islam, im not sure having them replicate the calligraphy is a good teaching plan. But im not trying to critique the plan. The way it works is anything that has a hint of being an endorsement of religion causes problems so a immediately people want to jump to islamophobia but a lot of people point out if you had students sitting there and all recite the our father or hail mary, that would be a problem. This doesnt seem to be that distinct from that despite the fact that that theres a cultural learning process going on around it. I understand parents being upset. I dont think they need to shut down schools. Imam, what do you think . Well, during a normal situation, during normal days, this shouldnt be an issue at all. Even the shahada as the declaration of the faith, the assignment is about the calligraphy, its the beauty. The assignment is telling and teaching the world of islam, islamic history, islamic civilization through the language of art. What other better way than trying to understand this complex reality through the prism, through the lenses of art . But unfortunately we are not going through normal days. We are not going through usual days. That anything and everything about islam and muslims it brings fear, it brings tension. I think this is a prime example of how we have to really try to calm the tension about the realities around islam and muslims in our society and avoid and silence those political religious leaders, civic leaders, who are just basically fuelling the fire by irresponsible statements. Mel, what do you think . Interestingly, don, i agree with both imam and buck. Buck said it well, theres a lot of sensitivity around issues related to the teaching of religion in Public Schools. However, hes right. Its one of the most important topics kids should be discussing and learning about in a social studies or world geography class. They studied christianity. They studied judaism, they were about to study indue and buddhism, there was no uproar until they were writing out calligraphy. And lets make it clear, the schools were not shut down because of an assignment, don. The schools were shut down because they received such threats that were so scary to the school that the school felt it was necessary that it theres directed at the geography class be taken seriously. And so i believe personally that world religion should be taught. I think its fundmental in this day and age for understanding, for people to understand the basic tentments of world religions. Thats number one. Number two i think we need to approach it with sensitivity and having it be an expression of faith was something that would anger a lot of people. The school responded, don, they said okay, we get it, next time we do calligraphy it wont be a direct statement of faith. That wasnt enough. There were people that were so angry, don, that it was the anger, the vitriol, the ignorance and the threats of violence that shut down the school, not a home work assignment. But shutting down schools is something that happens far too easily. Weve seen this earlier in the week not in new york city. Well so different. Get on the subway. I read that letter, it was preposterous, like something put together by a bunch of teenagers trying to shut down the school system. So there are some things that were said but we need to stop allowing hecklers to Say Something and suddenly no one can go to school, anyone is so terrified . This is something the schools ned to get a grip and identify what is a real threat and what will be something they can ignore. Thank you, everyone. Appreciate it. When we come right back, is Political Correctness out of control at harvard . Ill talk to the student who says the school is teaching the wrong lesson with the Holiday Place mat for social justice. Its easy to buy insurance and forget about it. But the more you learn about your coverage, the more gaps you might find. Like how you thought you were covered for all this. When youre really only covered for this. Hot dog . Or how you may think youre covered for this. But not for this. Whoa no, no, oh , oh . Or this. Or this. Or that.

The School Posted a reference guide for students on how to talk to family and friends about race and justice athol day dinner tables. Joining me is a student who wrote about it for the crimson. Are you doing okay . Yeah, thanks for having me on. What did you think about when you saw this social justice place mat . I received an email that basically showed the a office for equity and inclusion accomplished a place mat what they should say to family members when they might disagree with them over the holidays. This covered yale, the black lives Matter Movement and the Syrian Refugees. I didnt think the school should tell students what to think about those issues. Lets look at the place mat. The topics include islamaphobia, house master title change, student activism. For black murders in the street. The question is why did they didnt just listen to the officer . If they had just obeyed the law this wouldnt have happened. And the suggested answer is this. So do you think the response would be the same if it were a white person being pulled over. In many incidents the result is a black body in the street. Many of these people are unarmed and innocent. What do you think . Well, i think that so first of all i dont think that people who have had issues with the black lives Matter Movement would frame it that way . Why dont these black people just listen to the officers . The greater point here is i identify as a liberal. So i am closer to what the place mat wrote. I just think that the college shouldnt have distributed its enforced position to students while they were talking about it in the dining halls. The place mat suggests this that the students should advocate that the u. S. Let in Syrian Refugees in the name of social justice. Many believe that but many dont. Are all Harvard Students expected to hold one particular point of view on the subject . This is a very complex issue. We have, you know, people who are rightly concern, perhaps, in their mind, that there are risks of terrorism after what happened in San Bernardino and paris. And im a muslim myself. And i think that some of the arguments made about Syrian Refugees are islamaphobia but the university should not establish its preferred view on sear abby refugees and distributing it to students. What is going on College Campuses now . We hear what is happening about safe spaces and freedom of speech. What is happening . I think its really concerning. I think you have students who are saying that they are very uncomfortable with opposing views and they want the university to step in place and to basically protect them. There is a new conjured up right that you have the right to not be offended and uncomfortable. And that stands in opposition to everything the American University stands for. Its a marketplace of ideas and having tough conversations and coming to a consensus especially for universities like harvard and yale and princeton if they are producing the next leaders of the world they should be expected to think for themselves. Thank you. I really appreciate it, sir. So lets get reaction to this. Mel is back and buck is back as well. The administrators at harvard did apologize for this. But what is left to say . Mel, go ahead. You know, i think buck and i are going to agree for the First Time Ever on national television. I think this is outrageous. A university under the freshman deans Office Handing out a script to students as to what they should say on four of the hottest social political topics, number one, and number two arent you supposed to promote diversity of idea and thought, the point is not to come to consensus but to talk about ideas . I have said this forever about what is happening on College Campuses and people thing you, buck, i just have a couple of seconds. Harvard is handing out left wing propaganda. He doesnt need eighth grade talking points. And hes a liberal and muslim. He was making arguments. Harvard is spoon feeding their kids . And why are you talking about this at a family dinner . Dont you gossip about family at the holidays . They want to talk about social justice warriors. This is what we do it a ours, we sit around with our stomachs and et too much. Happy holidays, guys.
