meaning of free speech. joining me now, the author of the study, john villa senor, a senior fellow at brookings and a ucla professor. thanks so much for being here. i want to put up some of the data from your survey. let s begin with does the first amendment protect hate speech. holy smokes, professor, 44% say no. you react? this was a survey of 1500 people who identified themselves as students from 49 states and among that responding group, the responses were really frankly quite distorted. there s a lack of understanding among the respondents about some basic attributes of the first amendment. the internals of this interest me. look at the gender divide. i m sure you took note of that. in other words more women than men by 11 points, 49 to 38, are in that no category. again, among the 1500 respondents to the survey, there was a gender difference there,
education, needing a good public school, needing child care. needing all those it s very hard for that to add up to the regular family and they do need help. and men say, oh, well, i ll just keep out of the u.n. and they won t be focused on this issue. a lot of men have not done well over the obama years. remember, it was called the she recovery and the mansession. you know so much, thank you very much. cornell, thank you, sir. once you come back with that gender difference, because i m stunned that the men are going left and the women are going staying center. why are the men going away from hillary and off to the left? it s a great question for me. up next, he says he ll boycott the republican undercard debate thursday night, two nights from now. senator rand paul is coming here to talk to us about why he s not going to the little kids table. that s what it s called these days. the little kid table you go to when you don t make the big one. this is hardball, the place fo
tonight, but rand paul did have a good moment when he hit marco rubio with the charge that he is not necessarily conservative. because if he were, he wouldn t want to spend money on wars around the world, as you just noted. jeb bush also had a good night. carly fiorina came back. last debate, she kind of faded into the background. it she came out strong on the economy this time. she may benefit from the same sort of nasty approach by trump. last time trump made fun of her appearance. this time he told her to shut up. i think sometimes that helps the opponent him especially when there is a gender difference. your thoughts. when he was talking to reporters, chris, he noted that he was hitting her because she was interrupting other people. i was on the rope line with mr. trump and asked if he thought that john kasich should be on stage when they were having their back and forth. he suggested he didn t have to listen to him or take it from him and noted that he has a successful busines
