That john mccains funeral, if it meant anything meant that unity and stability had to return to washington. All of these people who are warring on normal days coming together. P it was really dramatic. But this notion of unity is really what i have been seeing. Speakers at the service spoke of bipartisanship and putting country over h party. Tucker country over party, that did not happen today. Senate judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley of iowa couldnt even get the hearing started without being interrupted repeatedly by his democratic colleagues. I welcome everyone to this ia confirmation hearing on the mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, i would like to be recognized and ask a question before we proceed. Mr. Chairman, we received 42,000 documents that we have not been able to review. And we believe that the hearing should be postponed. We have been denied real access to the documents we need that turn the hearing into a charade and a mockery of our norms. Mr. Chairman, i therefore moved to adjourn this hearing. Tucker by the way, we did not edit that tape, that was the very beginning and senator harris from california, immediately interrupting him. Meanwhile, the multiple screaming a lefty protesters did not get the memo about bipartisanship either. Heres what they did. We vote no et we vote no mr. Kavanagh should this is an attack on womens not be on the court. Rights and democracy. Shut the hearing down. I urge you, shut this hearing. Tucker it was not a good day for bipartisanship, brit hume seeing a lot of hearings, their perspective to draw, the senior political analyst joining us on the set, was this subsequently different from other confirmation hearings, would you say . Much more of a circus, but some of the hearings have gotten pretty brutal and political, buy i think what you saw today in this whole uproar was a reflection of a couple of things. Part of it is pure partisanship. Part of it is resistance of trump and the desire of some democrats on the committee to show that they are part of the resistance. Es but beyond that there is something more deeper and sincerely felt, a genuine fearar that the addition of judge kavanaugh to the Supreme Court to succeed Anthony Kennedy means that the court will tip to a judicial philosophy more to the right. Rtce the left has been much more dependent over the decades on the course to achieve policy goals, it could not achieve through legislation. It could not pass through legislatures or get signed by president s, so on. Thats how we came to have a universal right to abortion. That was something created byo the courts. Tucker so voters did not do that . No, voters did not do that, and at the time that it was done, i do not think that voters would do so. That is the same with gay marriage recognized as a right. That emanated it all fromm Justice Kennedys abuse there was a kind of dignity vibe thatt he discovered in the constitution, probably looking there for hundreds of years on notice that gave rise to a right to gay marriage. Im not saying that to these policy results are good or bad. They were achieved through the courts and not through legislatures, not through the normal political processes. Democrats have been much more dependent on the courts and republicans have. Republicans have resisted these things. Being conservatives and so on. And the tipping of the balance of the courts on the right threatens what democrats have been one of the key agencies of the agenda. And thats why you have this resistance. It is partly politics. Tucker i understand that, they are mad about Merrick Garland and that they have a right to be mad aboutre Merrick Garland, i do think that. What i am struck by is that they are not making subsidencek arguments about his ideas or his fitness for the court. That would be fair game. When you hear the subsequent arguments, they come like this. There is a list of the parties that have prevailed in cases which he has ruled, and that iss extrapolated as this kind of party or that kind of party. Painted for this kind of defendant. These arguments that are made about conservative jurists based on that kind of reasoning leave aside an entirely what the law may have commanded in these cases. In other words, okay, so the corporations won in cases 110, therefore you are procorporation. But what about what the law w said . Maybe the corporation won because thats what the law required. Rp tucker exactly. That kind of analysis is missing as it was today with a few arguments made by tucker a very good point. Talking about the least subsequent record itself. Tucker it seems like power politics. It will get through if enoughee partisans can be rallied to their own side to get them through. This will be a party line vote. Theres not much question about that. Tucker will he get through, republicans keeping every senator . So far it does not appear that the democrats have been successful in peeling off republican f votes. But make no mistake, tucker, covered the board hearings in 1987. Ee we were well within the hearings when i was talking to chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee joe biden and he saidh that bork would be confirmed. Within a matter of days the tide turned and it turned during the hearings because they know many did not make very smart political answers to questions that he was i will not go into all of the asked about privacy. Details, but the point was that he answered legally questions that he needed to answer more politically. If he had it, he would not successfully be tarred with the idea that he was antiprivacy which was what it turned on. Tucker the predicate for roe v. Wade. Every nominee since has not made the mistake of saying what you think is true. Democrats cannot turn this around, republicans and conservatives have learned a lot since 1987 about how to present the nominees and what to name and how to prepare them and how to prepare the ground. There is a Big Ad Campaign backing the National Television as i have seen, that is all relatively new. We have not seen that before. So the chances look very good, but believe me, tucker, anything can happen. Tucker thank you for that. Great to see you. Julian epstein, chief counsel to the democrats on the house Judiciary Committee and the sweet spot of the story, and he joins us. So julian, i want to put on the screen a tweet that went out today, because so much political debate does take place on social media. This was one of the trending tweets on twitter. It is from a woman called amy siskind and it says this what was that, she is giving the white power sign right behind him during this hearing, this alone should the woman behind zina bash, the disqualify. White supremacist is not white,i she is hispanic and also jewish. That is lunatic, and it trended, got 15,000 likes almost immediately, what does that tell you about the state of the left . It tells me that our politics are broken. You see examples of this type of lunacy on the left and the right and it has no place in our politics. An and i think that it is an inevitable result of the social Media Echo Chamber that drive so much of politics and it is very unfortunate. I agree a lot with what britt said and whatid you said, at thi hearing, i think it i think histrionics were helpful it was not helpful, and the , the shouters in the w crowd. Repeated interruptions were not helpful to the case. That they are trying to make, i do think it reflects an anger that they have over Merrick Garland, he had eight months before the election and could not get a hearing. It is an expression of that anger. I do think that this entire hearing process has been completely broken and it is winking Performance Art at this point. We do not get anything out of the hearings and i think that it is time for the democrats and republicans in the spirit that you were alluding to at the upset that john mccain spirit to fix the process. There should be an agreement between democrats and republicans for all future nominees on the document in question about what documents s are given. That should not be somethingdo that you are fighting on a case by case business. They do not really testify aboua what they think or what they really believe in, what do they think that to roe v. Wade was rightly decided or wrongly decided. That is silly. The argument that would prejudice them in a future case, somebody came up with that at some point. Tucker if that is lying, it forces all of these guys no matter how honest they are, no matter how much integrity they have, to lie on what they stand or basically put on an ad campaign in their own behalf which is unseemly. L or to make it an empty vacuum, which is nothing in the constitution, there is nothing really in serious judicial thinking that says that a Supreme Court nominee can say if he thinks a previous case was rightly decided or wrongly decided or how they mighthi approach that case, and at the same time they can speak about the value and the role of precedent. Tucker i agree, why should i hire you to make decisions if you wont tell me what you think . The democrats are playing ar different game. Tucker i cannot believe that wen are agreeing so much. I am open minded. Its true, but my sense about the opening drama, the screaming and the interrupting, which i hated was that democrats knowch that he is going to get through barring someone and some unseemly development, but they are trying to do all they can. I think that they have to show the base and some energy to the base. Thats why say it is winking Performance Art, i think that they know that it is not going to change votes in the Judiciary Committee on the floor. He is an extremely well qualified candidate. I disagree with a lot of the things that he has said and doni in the rulings, but he is extremely wellqualified. He will get the votes and be confirmed. But democrats are playing a different game for the base. What they are trying to do is make the nomination as much as possible about trump. They sense that they have an 1114point lead whether you Pay Attention to the usa today1 pol or the cpp poll, and they thinke that debates on health care, preexisting conditions which kavanaugh does not seem to be a fan of with the case coming up to the court, that the question of reproductive freedom or choice, they think that these are all good debates. They think most people agree with reproductive freedom or choice. Most people like preexisting conditions. Most people do not like what kavanaugh said about assault weapons. Tucker if you call reproductive freedom what it is, which is abortion. Yes, they do. Tucker yes they do change. Yes they majorities, the numbers, if you look at where kavanaughs do. [laughs] number are, the numbers that want to see them approved are in the upper 30s. And its because he has become, a proxy debate on a lot of issues including abortion. I think in our political system we are spending way, way too much time on the culture wars right now. Tucker but when it it be more helpful and edifying, the rest of us would make up our minds more thoughtfully if we could have a real debate about this stuff instead of this bizarre kabuki where everybodyat is speaking in code. If a he is i dont know, i can tell you against abortion, tell us why. Why. Maybe i can win you over. There is nothing with that. And i respect people that are antiabortion. I respect it. I do not agree with it, but i think that it is honestly heldld and it is a respectable and honorable position for someone to hold. It is deeply connected oftentimes to religious beliefs and other sets of beliefs. And i think that we should have a respectable position and debate on that. And i think the idea in a Supreme Court nomination that the kind of, the next Supreme Court justices hiding behind this kind of phony, and liberals and progressives, and conservatives do it. I mean, democrats and republicans do it. We hide behind the phony we cannot get into the details because it may prejudice a future case. It is nonsense. Tucker that was an awful p lot of agreement for one segment. Lets find something to disagree about. Tucker julian epstein, thank you for that conversation. Nbc news has ample evidence of exactly what Harvey Weinstein was doing to women, they killed the story anyway and then lied about w it. The real question is, why did they do that . . Maybe there was a reason we should know about. We have investigated that question and we will tell you what we found up next. Hey, what are you guys doing here .

It is even clearer now. The remarkable thing is that nbc is still lying about it but more elaborately. In a long memo release last night nbc chairman andy lack spent 11 pages claiming that his network could not air the investigation of weinstein, the same piece that ran in the new yorker and won a pulitzer prize, not enough evidence, not enough on the record allegations against Harvey Weinstein. That is false and now we can prove it is on our nbc show this morning, megyn kelly bravely pointed out, because she still works there that there was in fact and on the record source b against Harvey Weinstein, it was rose mcgowan. And nbc knew this because of the claims included in a script that made it to the very top of the company. That included the general counsel of the company. We spoke to a source by phone that read us the pertinent line from the script. Here it is in conversations with nbc news, she, rose mcgowan, specifically named weinstein. Will there you havee it. There is the story right tory there, done, cold. Nbc also had videotape shot by police in new york up Harvey Weinstein himself confessing to abuse on camera. They had the whole thing nailed. And they suppressed it in a protect of weinstein. Now they are lying about it. We should not be surprised by any of this, nbc news also lying about the access Hollywood Tape that they leaked to the Washington Post on the eve of the president ial debate in order to influence the outcome of that debate and election. And then to compound the crime, they fired and humiliated their own anchor billy bush for the crime of, actually, we are not sure what the crime was. Ch but we do know that nbc lied to its viewers and to the rest of us throughout that whole episode. We have asked nbc repeatedly to account for it. How did a secretly recorded videotape that was their property get from their offices to the hands of nbc news chief Noah Oppenheims buddy at the Washington Post . We ask that question because transparency is at the heart of every legitimate News Organization, but not at theus heart of nbc. They will not answer our questions. That is not surprising. What is surprising if you think about it for a minute is why nbc did not run the weinstein story in the first place. They knew that it was factually true. It was news. It was a story. It met the definition. But they knew that ronan farrow might hurt them if they killed the story. And of course, in the end, hero did hurt them badly. They knew that that might happen, but they killed it anyway. Why did they do that . We decided to investigate this question and we did. We spoke to a number of people with direct knowledge of the story and heres what we got. Ha Harvey Weinstein had a long a documented history of using private investigators to earn damaging information about people who threatened him. He did that repeatedly too many people. He did that to the New York Times for example. They do that to the leadership of nbc . People close to the story believe that he did. Some people in the company believed that weinstein threatened to reveal damaging information about nbcs then biggest star matt lauer. So we asked nbc about this today. We asked directly. They answered a number of our questions, but notably they ignored the question about matt lauer completely. Thats interesting. Heres another question, how many people within the hierarchy of nbc knew about all of this . One obvious person to ask is w chuck todd, the political director and host of meet the press. Todd is a famously connected guy. Information is as currency, how could he not know what it was happening inside his own company . Nbc gets the biggest scoop of the year and kills it mysteriously, of course chuck todd knew. What does he think of that . Is squelching firstperson assaults of Sexual Assault byme men power to make consistent with chuck todds . Is it did he complain about this inside the building and nbc . C . Why did he not quite over it . Or is it better to shut up and pretend that Sexual Assault did not happen in the hopes of keeping the highest paying job that he will ever have . Maybe that is the answer. We do not know for sure, because chuck todd did not respond to our questions when we reach out today. We will call again. Soon we will have occasion to call, because the daily deeds is preparing a blockbuster investigation into serious and widespread personal misconduct both at msnbc and nbc news. It sounds shocking, and as what we can tell it is true. Will check back with chuck todd when it comes out and we will see what he has to say. In the meantime, larry oconnor, associate editor of the Washington Times joins ush tonight. So larry, nbc has changed the story just within the last 24 hours. Initially andy lack said we had no on the record evidence or claim of any alleged victim of Harvey Weinstein. That is why we didnt run the story. They could not run it because he would not go on the record. Tucker now the script from last summer where rose mcgowan is quoted saying on the record that he abuse me. Now he is saying we had no on camera on the record accusation. A, shouldnt he admit that he lied . And b, you do not need an hour on the camera account to run it. Of course not, when you have Harvey Weinstein basically apologizing for the Sexual Assault against the one victim that blew the story apart. Also, can we pause for a minute and check the irony about nbc news not running the story if somebody does not go on the record, how many an honest anonymously sourced information have they run about the Trump Administration . None why is it different here . Of those Anonymous Sources go on the record. And tucker that is such a good point. Y and a Sexual Assault victim, think about that. Oo it takes a lot of courage for these women to step forward and speak with ronan farrow. And ronan should get tons of credit, he already has, and itte is welldeserved. To think about the courage that they had to point the finger to the most powerful man in and nbc news is aiding and abetting that man saying you have to show us your face. You have to give us your name. Fa that is outrageous what they did to these women. Tucker we are all flawed and all News Organizations are flawed, but covering up for Harvey Weinstein is at a different level. I know a lot of people at nbc,at there were some decent people i like a lot of l them. There for sure, but you have to wonder how some of these people can work there without addressing it. If chuck todd for example. How can chuck todd host meet the press without at least issuing a statement saying i agree with andy lacks lies or a distance myself . And how can we believe what he says if he is standing by this nonsense . Andy lack is his boss, lets not forget mr. Oppenheim, his name is on these memos too and he is all in on the same story. At that we did not have anybody going on the record. Tucker running around ae lot of the executives are running around nbc tonight telling their employees to shut up. And that itself, i dont want to use the term coverup, but is that the behavior of a transparent integrity filled News Organization . No, it is not. You mentioned megyn kelly showing up this morning and say we have three or four people on the side of the occasion, one other woman who is named in the story. Rose gallant. Mcgowan, and saying this is what happen, ronan farrow has a said that the story even made it all the way up to the general counsel of the network and andy lack, Noah Oppenheim and all of them are saying, heye somebody is lying here, and she wants an independent investigation, should we get a special counsel investigating . Tucker that takes an awful lot of guts, and i hope that she gets the credit, thats whatn journalism is when you stand up and say the unpopular but true things, do you think that that is being rewarded at nbc . Not at all, but what is being rewarded is chuck todd coming to spend the last several days talking about journalism and how the media is the most unpopular entity in this country right now, and he is blaming everybode except, clean up your own house, clean up what is going on in your building. Tucker so your company covers upper and accused sex criminal and you never addresset it, but you are lecturing everybody else about their shortcomings. That appears to be what he is engaged and in tucker we are not accusing the last several days. You of hurting anybody or beating Harvey Weinstein, we are accusing you of embedding a coverup, working for a company that participated in a coverup for Harvey Weinstein. You would think that they should be asking those tough questions of mr. Todd, but i have not seen them. We are asking them now. Tucker a lot of cowards in journalism, larry, you are not among them. Thank you for joining us. Colin kaepernick is brave and he spoke truth to power, may be the bravest person in the history od this country. Thats what powerful corporations are telling you.

I retire as champion. Game hog champion. Tucker and global megacorporation nike, which is cooler and more virtuous than you has made Colin Kaepernick the story of its latest ad campaign. Thats because what real braverl looks like is getting celebrated by everyone in power and getting huge money from an enormouslyy wealthy and influential company. Many regular americans are not as impressive. Some of posted videos of themselves burning nike gear. But before you throw support to a another corporation who hates your way of life, consider this. According to reports, puma andho adidas also pursued kaepernick before he signed with nike. Something much larger is afoot. What Jason Whitlock posting speak is that exactly . For yourself on fs1 joining us tonight. My first thought was of you, im going to withhold any more judgment and allow you to lay out what this means. I think that nike has issues, p. R. Issues. They have been sued for discrimination by both black people and women. They fired a bunch of executives recently, and long before any of that nike has had a problem wito slave labor in asia. And the people that actually make their shoes, nike has no problem with their oppression. So i think that Colin Kaepernick aligning with them as a p. R. Ploy by nike to cover up their larger bigger problem. And to feed the leftwing media, oh, look, we are friends of kaepernick, so overlook the years of criticism about the slave labor that makes our shoes and the exploitation that we are perfectly fine with and then tucker, i will go a step further. When you look at president trumps America First policy and how they are impacting corporations like a nike and to the business that they do overseas, go and have their materials made in another country for less money, and then bring them back into our country without being taxed or punished for that, i just think that nike is playing politics here on a number of different levels. And it is a p. R. Stunt to that i think its going to blow up andd backfire in their face. No different, this reminds me of espn naming Caitlyn Jenner the most courageous person in america, because she had a sex change operation. I think that this is cut from that same cloth and how we doint that a label espn, pse and out of touch with middle america, i think this play with Colin Kaepernick is going to backfire on nike. Tucker what youre saying, youre describing something a little bit more sophisticated than just a reflexive cowtowing two pc sensibility. What youre saying is this is a company that could be attacked on legitimate grounds by critics and the left for exploiting records, for being bad for the world, but to avoid being attacked if they pay a p indulgence, a tax to the church at pc by making Colin Kaepernick richer and they do not get criticized. Is that what you are saying . Without question. And i think that this was really a harebrained idea and scheme. Its a sign of desperation. Again, i think it will blow up in their face. This is just bad business. And i get it. For a business to move into something this polarizing with sports fans is just crazy to me when nike has made so much money. They became this powerful force going with michael jordan, who avoided politics and understood that everybody at the end of the day buys shoes. The hypocrisy by nike is extreme using Colin Kaepernick in this way. And i do not blame Colin Kaepernick, he will take a check from wherever he can get it. This is nike using him to cover up for their internal external problems. Tucker that is such a smart point. As a business decision, why would you, if you are nike especially with universal appeas want to narrow your Customer Base to 40 of the country. Or narrow it at all . Why would you do that . Ba that seems shortsighted. Because there are executives running all over america who basically grew up in the counterculture era of the 60s in 70s, and now they are in positions of power and they are doing crazy harebrained things with their companies. Again, ive said it a million times. Espn eventually thought that doing pc politics was good business. And it just is not. T they are playing, nike and a lot of corporations are playing to a twitter way too often. They think that if we can just make twitter happy and make then leftwing dominated twitter happy, we are going to make the world a better place and our business better. It it is not going to happen. Tucker it is so smart, you hit it again and again, and im glad that you do. A social media is changing our world. Our society and our brains even in thank you for reminding us that. Ways that we do not perceive. Jason whitlock, as always. Thank you, tucker. Tucker washington, d.

Tucker a couple of notes about john mccains funeral this past week. Almost everyone who spoke describes mccain as a hero. And in that they were absolutely right. Spending the better part of the year with mccain once starting in the summer of 1999. And can confirm that he was every bit as tough as people say he was. I was sitting two rows back from him on a charter flight when our plane was hit by lightning in a thunderstorm. We seem to be falling out of the sky, people on board screamed in panic. Mccain and i watch this, yawned and went back to sleep. Months later i walked through a wall or prison with him in hanoi where he had spent years in solitary confinement being tortured with ropes. That was the happiest time of my life, he said, under his breath. It was clear that he meant it. Theyre not a lot of people like john mccain in this country anymore, and that is a shame. There was a lot about him to admire. You have to wonder whats he would have made of his funeral and its coverage on television. The parade of greasy politicians and mindless cliche merchants using his if you have ever lost someone death to celebrate themselves. You care about, ask yourself, what would it take for you to launch into a political speech in the middle of a eulogy . Would you even consider doing that . Everyone mourns in different ways, of course, but at mccains funeral everybody seem to be mourning and exactly the same way and demanding the rest of us do it that way too. Just a few election cycles ago many of these same people were denouncing the john mccain as a a racist and a danger to this country, some of them were attacking his wife and childrent now they are using john mccains memory to attack the rest of us. Anyone who is not with their program, a program that has made them richer and more selfsatisfied than any ruling class in history, even as our countrys middle class has withered and died. Technically it was a Bipartisan Group that mourns mccain. They said that a lot. But on the questions that matter they were in complete agreement with each other. The status quo was working for them. C anyone who challenges it, must be crushed. The media applauded the whole thing, of course, on the same team as the people withhe the stage with the same prerogatives at stake. They led the cheerleading. They nodded in solemn bovine agreement is one member of Congress Even describe D John Mccain as a warrior for peace. The smarter ones in the media must have been snickering at the absurdity of that. A warrior for peace . That is ridiculous, and not an attack on john mccain to say so. Mccain was a warrior for war. He said so himself many times. Ai he was not ashamed of that, hardly. John mccains life was forged in more. Ed he was probably the most warlikn senator washington ever produced and he was proud of that. When they started describing him as gandhi, they are not just lying, they are telling you the opposite of the truth. But that is their signature move. Inverting reality and demanding that you believe it. Lowwage immigration makes us rich debt makes a b secure men and women are identical. W abortion is freedom, diversitybt and strength, war is peace. They say things with great vehemence, not because they believe them, but precisely because they know that they are not true. So obvious that they can only be disseminated by force. But not for long, lies do not endure forever. Ss people find out in the end. There was a wistfulness at the funeral that suggested that a lot of these people were morning not just john mccains passing, but the coming end of their own reign in the fantasies that made it possible. Or maybe theyre not that selfaware. Either way, i wish that i wouldve been able to concludede that scene in my book. The book is about this very group of people and the damage they have caused to our country. It is called ship of fools hoe a selfish ruling class is bringing america to the brink of revolution. It is out in a few weeks, but you can order it now. S it is a middle finger aimed right back in their direction. I hope you like it. American institutions use to celebrate effort and ability and fairness, not all of thoseon values are being sacrificed to the god of diversity which is our only strength, we are told. Or is it . And what does this mean for our country Going Forward . We will speak with someone who wrote a book on the subject, smart and interesting. Stay tuned. Youre headed down the highway when the guy in front slams on his brakes out of nowhere. You do, too, but not in time. Hey, no big deal. Youve got a good record and Liberty Mutual wont hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. You hear that, karen . Liberty mutual doesnt hold grudges. How mature of them. For drivers with accident forgiveness Liberty Mutual wont raise their rates because of their first accident. Liberty mutual insurance. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty tucker american universities were once havenss for free speech and free thinking, thats why they exist to be that, but increasingly they are not that at all, they are safe spaces for people who do not want to explore uncomfortable ideas. Can academia in this question become openminded again . Heather mac donald has been thinking a lot about it, she has wrote a book on the topic, titled diversity delusion, she joins us. As how we are its great to have you on. Creating a nation of narrow minds. Thank you. Its an honor. Tucker i think we have established, and our viewers are on board with the reality, that freethinking is banned in colleges, so what do you do about it . How do you fix that . I think that you have to address the root cause of their free speech crisis. It is bad enough, but it is a result of something even more poisonous which is the spreading of victim ideology. College president s are telling their own students that today are at risk of lethal racism and sexism by virtue of being on a College Campus. That is an outright lie. There is no more tolerant place if you are not a conservative than a College Campus today, no more privileged position then being a student with immediate access to the thing that it was brought forward, which is knowledge, we need to take on this poisonous narrative that College Campuses in america in general are rolling masses of discrimination and sexism. Tucker you are doing that. You are doing more than your part just by saying what is evidently true. I mean, you can get a lot out of just calling b. S. On ideas that are obviously stupid and wrong. But why dont more people in authority to do that why are people so cowed by the institutional left . There is no more dangerous epithet to you can hurl around these days them racist. And people simply crumble. But the faculty has to stand up. They have to both defend free speech, but even more importantly they have to defend the western civilization that is there extraordinary privilege to pass on the next generation of students. And if they are not willing to do that, if they are willing to capitulate to these preposterous charges that to read homer or to read or to read shakespeare is to be subject to lifethreatening racism they should resign, because they are betraying the amazing legacy that is there privilege to pass on. Tucker our leaders are bent on destroying the institution that made all of this possible. Very quickly, do you think that that can happen . Is there any hope that you can redeem academia in our intellectual life in this country . Do we need to build something new . It would be great to build new colleges. Unfortunately they will face the prestige gap. Parents that purport to be antimaterialistic and anticapitalist are frenzied to credential lies their students with the in the most Prestigious College diploma that they can get. Ideally, they would go for knowledge than simply the credentials. I think that we still have toth keep on fighting within the university to shame these cowards and the College President s and certainly alumni have to stop giving money. Parents have to do due diligence. The trustees have to strap on some balls and actually exercise their fiduciary responsibility to make sure that to these colleges are actually educatinga students in our extraordinary civilization with its conquest of disease and poverty and ones and the ability to speak the truth that is now so, so jeopardized. Tucker hey, man, this corrupt system is sustained by the anxiety of liberal parents. You are absolutely right. Heather mac donald, you have done so much to tell the truth. We appreciate it. Ib congrats on the book. Thank you, tucker.
