children, lying, cheating, stealing, is going to get them ahead in life when so many kids work so hard. my friend s best son didn t get into a great school the first year. he worked twice as hard to get in this year and just got accepted. that s what life should be about. and it s just setting a horrible example for our kids, sean. sean: and whether it s academics or whether it s, you know, sports combined with academics, emily, these kids work hard to get grade points averages and get rankings, if they are playing in a sport. exactly, and i think part of why there are now literally class-actions from these rejected students, regarding this, the fact that it s competitive enough even without the bribery, right? this past entering freshman class, of the rejected students 8,000 had perfect acts, perfect gpas and stanford only accepted 4% of applicants. the odds are stacked against them even without this. and the irony of these parents who have donated hundreds of
for me sometimes to understand why the trump team would respond to their tactics. what you just said there i think is important, too. if you see tsh-if y if you se action as plausible in wait they operate, we might expect someone like paul manafort, a sophisticated operator, who had worked in that world, been involved in high level russian ukrainian politics for a decade and who knows how things work in pa art that of the world, you might expect that even if the president s son didn t get it, that paul manafort would recognize exactly what was happening there. so he took that meeting as well. and jared kushner took that meeting as well. also a more sophisticated international actor. exactly. you know wrb why wasn t th, wit screened? why didn t they see this for what it may be? and i think it is obvious. he wanted that information, and he doesn t care about where it

you can t blame moms for this. it s a maternal instinct and action. but i m going to guess that this kid is going to be taking a lot of ribbing for the fact that his mom jumped in. i think the lesson here is, keep your m-o-m away from your mma. maybe tell her not to that s very cute alliteration. keith, what do you make of it? would you have liked your mom to jump in the ring to safe you? are men too macho, they don t want to admit to the fact that moms can sometimes help out? if my mom had jumped in the ring, she would have beat me for only lasting 36 seconds. you re going to last 36 seconds? no, if we had more black fighters in mma, you d probably see more and more. charles? i really do think the problem here is she forced this kid to fight. you look at her skills and her ability. the son didn t want to do it. come on. the kid was repairing bicycles. she called him one kday, you ned to get into mma.
alan, what do you think about the assertion this is the most secretive white house in history? that would be richard nixon but i think i noticed jill ab ram son didn t work the nixon white house but they ve not been as forward as they would like to be. we have the n.s.a., thanks to edward snowden, we know about the level of spying going on. we saw what happened with our own reporter, james rosen. i would have to agree. but that s always the conflict between the press and the white house. jay carney reported if he were the reporter, he would have the same attitude the press has about this current white house. jon: but because president obama and candidate obama were both so explicit about how open he was going to be, doesn t it only, you know, feed distrust in government when the candidates and even the president himself in 2009 promised something that doesn t get delivered? right. you mean when the president issued a directive on his first
