the reality is floods do happen. protect what matters. get flood insurance. visit floodsmart.gov/flood to learn more. our thoughts about the police in america. thanks for watching. i'm megyn kelly. this is "the kelly file." >> welcome to this special edition of "hannity." it's that time of year where college graduates get ready to enter the real world. while given advice by commencement speaker, some of it is great, some is shocking. for the hour we'll examine both. here's some of the best advice given to graduates so far this year. >> those of you who are graduating this afternoon with high honors awards and distinctions, i say well done. and as i like to tell the "c" students, you, too, can be president.

>> life is not fair, it never wasn't, it isn't now and it won't ever be. do not fall into the trap, the entitlement trap of feeling like you're a victim. you are not. >> history rarely yields to one person. but think and never forget what happens when it does. >> here now for the hour is the author of "the new york times" best seller "the silencing -- how the left is killing free speech" kirsten powers. juan williams comedian tom shiloo and the author of the upcoming book next week "adios america" the left's plan to turn america into a third world hell hole. you like the title, don't you? you haven't wraed the book yet. >> that title that will stop you. in the bookstore where you look, what is that about?

holy smokes. >> and she's already created quite a stir, which we won't talk about now. the first question i have to ask is this -- why are conserveatives far outnumbered by liberals in terms of giving commencement addresses. kirsten? >> i don't know. maybe because academia is overwhelming run by liberals. and, you know i actually -- i talk about this a lot in my book about how since 2000, they had twice as many speeches canceled, almost all of them conservatives. and invitations go to conservatives in the first place. the fact that they're gting cancelled for the conservatives when they're not even being invited in the first place shows you what a disparate -- >> your son is a conservative. he's a good conservative. it's good he didn't inherit your genes. >> oh please. i used to get a lot of

invitations to deliver commencement addresses. >> a large number? >> i guess i have done close to three dozen. like 36. right? >> okay. >> but fox news and the controversy back when i got hired by npr shut it down. >> none? >> no. so this year i did franklin pierce, which is where amy carr, the former bush white house chief of staff now i'll get something like that. but for the most part, exactly what kirsten said. >> one, liberty university. and it was the worst speech i ever gave. that was dumb. >> why did you have to use a teleprompter? >> i was on the middle of my book tour. i didn't have time to put one together. >> fwhonder you don't get invited. >> have you ever done a commencement speech? >> no i'm so relieved. if i were a liberal having researched and written my own ten new york times best seller i wouldn't have time so accept

commencement speeches because i would be getting so many awards. oh my gosh they're boring. thank heaven i don't have to give any commencement speech. >> does matthew mcconaughey not impress you? >> i love him. that was great. also the group that sang his heart out, i think mcconaughey is the only one that thinks to thank god in his oscar acceptance speech. i'm not an expert since i never watch them but i believe i'm correct. >> i think there's too many con receiver tifs speaking at commencements. what was it? 6 to 1? top universities 6 to 1. but that's more conservatives than there are on campus. >> especially in the faculty lounge. it's not representative. if you want to be representative it would be even

fewer. why would conservatives want to speak on campus any way? they could speak at corporate events and do a lot better. >> i don't think, especially these big universities i think the last thing students want is a long speech. what do you really want to tell them? they just finished partying they're probably all hung over, they don't care what you have to say. they want to get their degree own go to the next party. with that said there's a bias. >> if i was one of the 93 million americans out of work or one of the 50 million in poverty -- >> okay you're never going to get a job, you're going to live in your parents' basement, adios. >> decedent forget sean you're also talking to parents and grandparents. it's a real moment for them. and they do want to hear something from the speakers.

>>s a, i think they should be exposed -- this is a radical idea now on campus. they should be exposed to people who think differently than they do. and see, if you have somebody like condoleezza rice being protested, she's not. co-ing to speak about the iraq war. she's giving a commencement address, and we should be able -- i opposed the iraq war, but we should be able to hear from people who might have other insights to share with us even though we disagree with them on something. >> i think we've all said surprise surprise david horace has been writing about how left wing college campuses are for 30 years. i have a limit for perpetual jute rage about these things. and i think we need to take the next step what do conservatives do about it? why don't they walk out when they're getting another racism lecture frf michelle obama.

as soon as republicans took congress, something i've been pushing for for six months and they still haven't listened to me is i want congress to -- >> they don't listen to me either. >> i want republicans to hold hearings on the cost of college educations. i want them to have to to have hearings invite the presidents of universities in, explain to us why college tuition has gone up 1,000% since 1978. nothing else has gone up like that. explain your salaries. some of the college presidents are making $1 million a year. and i would also demand that they come with facts -- >> look at the amen corner you're creating here. >> republicans like rick santorum who say what a snobbish attitude, the working man might not want to go to college. i think, you should help young people set high bars for themselves. i think education parties. they say oh they're liberal professors out there. no, they're not always liberal professor

professors. >> only 10 to 1. >> only people who are smart, believe me. >> peter keel gives you a fellowship and gives you $100,000 not to go to school. you can get to work right now. and the results are fantastic. >> it's supply and demand. >> no no it's subsidized by the tax pair. it has got to stop. who's on the hook for it? the taxpayer. >> if it's a private school they can charge whatever they want. >> no no no. not when we're guaranteeing it. this is the whole mortgage bubble crisis all over again. >> it's not the same issue. >> it's the same issue. >> don't you like it when conservatives fight? >> the middle class is being lied to. they are being told this is an investment in your future. obama, all these democrats,

they're saying this is an investment in your future. you get a college degree, it is worth spending $200,000 on this because you'll make more money. well, no, you won't, and the tax payer ends up -- >> hang on. hang on. if there's 5,000 or 50,000 people that apply to harvard or princeton or one of these schools and they only take 1,000, and it's honor to get one of those coveted slots and you get in, and they want to charge whatever they want to charge so you have the prestige of that degree, that's supply and demand. >> no, you don't understand. >> you're supposed to be a conservative. >> you can say the same thing. i will explain this again. if a house is selling for $2 million. if someone wants to pay that, they can pay it, but ah-ha, we're giving you this mortgage.

>> but they're supposed to pay that money back. >> who's on the hook for it if they don't pay it back? >> that's a separate issue. i paid back my student loans. >> hang on. no. because only in the case of mortgages, only in the case of college tuition are those loans guaranteed by whom? the federal government. no other loans are guaranteed like that. >> the american people as taxpayers as a political body saying that's a good thing for us, for our economy. >> but it isn't. that's a lie. >> did you pay back your loan? did you pay back yours? >> yeah, i did, but i dropped out of college, because i was afraid the mounting debt. >> look what happened. you went on tv. >> i'm on tv! >> most kids are going to end up in debt. the value of their college degree. and do not talk about harvard, princeton and yale. oh, my gosh. you so don't understand. >> you sound like a liberal. >> if she's invited to give a

commencement address, run away. do not listen to her and her commencement address. >> we need ann coulter to give a commencement address. >> can you imagine if you paid for your child to go to child for four years and ann coulter stands up there and tells you what a fool you are? >> my speeches are more fun because they're not boring things like life's journey. half the room is lined up with cops because i'm like david duke showing up on campus. it's very exciting if i give a college speech. but you're not allowed to talk about supply and demand. >> when you take out the -- it's separate and apart. >> we're running up another economic bubble. >> why do you want to control prices of anything, unless it's a state-run -- >> it is controlling the prices. the government can say we are s going to guarantee a student loan for up to $1 million a semester. every college in the country can look at our tuition.

>> i want to put up denzel washington. because he said something really good. he said put god first in everything that you do. everything i have is by the grace of god. i don't stick with him, but he's always stuck with me. and he also said, you'll never see a u-haul behind a hearse. i don't care how much money you make, you can't take it with you. it's not what you have it's what do you with what you have. we'll take a break, and up next -- >> as potentially the first african-american first lady, i was also the focus of another set of questions and speculation. >> first lady michelle obama raised a lot of eyebrows after delivering that highly divisive commencement address. why did she do it? our panel responds, next.

welcome back to this special edition of hannity. the issue of race in america has become the subject of much discussion over the past year, and a few weeks a first lady michelle obama made it the focus of her commencement address at tuskegee university. watch this. >> but as potentially the first african-american first lady, i was also the focus of another set of questions and speculation. conversations sometimes rooted in the fears and misperceptions of others. was i too loud or too angry or too emasculating. we both felt the sting of those daily slights throughout our

entire lives. the folks who crossed the street in fear of their safety. the clerks who kept a close eye on us in all those department stores. the people at formal events who assumed we were the help, and those who have questioned our intelligence, our honesty, even our love of this country! and i know that these little indignities are obviously nothing compared to what folks across the country are dealing with every single day. those nagging worries that you're going to get stopped or pulled over for absolutely no reason. the fear that your job application will be overlooked because of the way your name sounds. then there was the first time i was on a magazine cover. it was a cartoon drawing of me with a huge afro and a machine gun. now, yeah, it was satire. but if i'm really being honest,

that knocked me back a bit. or you might remember the on-stage celebratory fist bump between me and my husband after a primary win that was referred to as a terrorist fist jab. and over the years, folks have used plenty of interesting words to describe me. one said i exhibited a little bit of uppityism. another noted that i was one of my husband's cronies of color. >> we bring back our panel. i watched the speech and i just thought it was the wrong tone for a commencement address for this reason. she seemed angry in the speech. she talked a lot about race in the speech. and the thing i was thinking, you're the first lady of the united states of america. in spite of obstacles, you made it to that position. your husband's the president. >> i don't think that's the foint of what she's saying. we're looking at two different speeches. >> you're watching it from the liberal perspective? >> she didn't seem angry to me

at all. she's a pretty good speaker. i thought her presentation was great. and i think that she's talking about her experience. this is a historically black college as well. so she's speaking to african-american students about something that a lot of people in the audience can relate to a lot of those things, and that's her experience that's what you're there to share. >> i didn't get the transition. i face difficulties. maybe it seemed like there was an angry edge to her speaking style. and then this is what can happen to you, to america. this is how we've changed, how we have overcome, how we've evolved. how we've righted wrongs and injustices. >> she's a one-note charlie. all she ever talks about, what her princeton thesis is about. anything other than america's a racist country? it's getting to be kind of a snooze. >> she had to suffer the indignity of being featured on "the new yorker." that's terrible. some of these things that were

said about her were said on right wing blogs and things like that. and do you think she really was hurt by them? she said she had trouble sleeping at night because she wondered if people really liked her. do you believe that, sean? i don't believe it for a second. >> i don't understand the demonization of her. she's not a public person. she's married to a public person. >> she's the first lady. she's a public person. >> she's talking about the first time she sees herself on the cover of a magazine and she's being caricatured in this way. i think that would be -- >> by "the new yorker." they love you. >> "the new yorker" loved michelle obama it.'s not undignified. >> first of all, the thing to keep in mind is it's tuskegee. so this is working class to poor black kids who are on the edge of the college experience in america. and i think they want to know that michelle obama has some bonding with them. she goes through the experience of being suspected of being a criminal when you go into a

department store because of the way you're dressed in your hip-hop stuff. i think michelle obama delivered that. but i heard you when you said where is the moment where she transitions and says, but i made it and you can make it and we can make it. and that moment of inspiration i think was missing. i will say this. you asked whether or not she does get hurt, she does get hurt. i can tell you from personal experience, on this channel i once said about michelle obama when she was coming in, she cannot be stokely carmichael in a designer dress. holy smokes. >> that's a good line. >> anything controversial, coulter likes. >> i think liberals should grow a thicker skin. this is really child's play for a conservative age 14. this is making the woman cry at night? how are you going to face the world? >> and let me say to you, she has been terrific on childhood obesity and military families. >> have you tried any of those school lunches? i hear they're awful. >> you, mr. diet king?

>> she said i love my daughters more than anything else, and while that may not be the first thing some folks want to hear from a harvard-educated lawyer, is who is she talking about? who are against loving your children? there were a lot of straw men in this speech. >> let's go to some more of her, this was a second speech she gave. >> i want to urge you to actively seek out the most contentious, polarized, gridlocked places you can find, because so often, throughout our history, those have been the places where progress really happens, the places where minds are changed, lives transformed, where our great american story unfolds. climate change, economic inequality, human rights, criminal justice. these are the revolutions of your time. and you have as much responsibility and just as much

power to wake up and play your part in our great american story. >> revolution in our time? what is she talking about? >> oh, gosh. >> revolution on climate change? >> are we watching the same thing? >> you see it through the prism of liking them, and i -- >> you see revolution as some kind of overthrow. that's not what she means. >> but you've got to put it in context. she is the person who says for the first time in her adult life, she's proud of her country. this is a woman -- i don't hear in either the president or in her enough, about america's greatness, like when the president goes around and apologizes for the country and he talks about problems. >> oh, stop. >> no, i don't hear the celebratory greatness of america from them. >> i think she was talking about the ability of young people to get out there, get in the fight, make a difference. >> a revolution. >> a revolution in terms of making life better for all of us. that's a good thing, sean hannity. >> it was oberlin? that was a right-wing speech for

the oberlin crowd. >> flooes she didn't falsely accuse a conservative of rape like lena dunham did. >> that would be strong medicine coming from the first lady. >> me and kiersten can't agree on any of these speeches. coming up next. >> climate change will affect every country in the planet. no nation is immune. but i'm here to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security. >> more than saying iran has a nuke? is that the message the military wants to hear? obama's address to the coast guard and their graduates after the break. stay with us. graduates right after thanks for calling angie's list. how may i help you? i heard i could call angie's list if i needed work done around my house at a fair price. you heard right, just tell us what you need done and we'll find a top rated provider to take care of it. so i could get a faulty light switch fixed? yup!

beau biden, son of the vice president joe biden has passed away from brain cancer nearly two years after he was first diagnosed. he was a lawyer member of the delaware national guard and former delaware attorney general. he planned to run for governor in 2016. beau biden experienced various health problems in cent years. he suffered a mild stroke in 2010. then in 2013 he underwent surgery at a texas cancer center to remove what was described as a small lesion. just this month, he was hospitalized at walter reed national military medical center. he leaves behind a wife and two children. joe biden-- beau biden was 46 years old. i'm jackie ibanez. now back to "hannity." rtoon drawing contest in texas. i'm patricia stark. now back to "hannity." >> welcome back to this special edition of "hannity" college speech addresses.

with many liberal speakers left wing ideology often become assenter piece of their message. for example, listen to this speech by president obama. >> this brings me to the challenge i want to focus on today, one where our coast guards men are already on the front lines and that perhaps more than any other will shape your entire careers. and that's the urgent need to adapt to climate change. as a nation, we face many challenges, including the grave threat of terrorism. as americans, we will always do everything in our power to protect our country. and even as we meet threats like terrorism, we cannot, and we must not ignore a peril that can affect generations. climate change will affect every nation on the planet.

no country is immune. climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate risk to our national security. and make no mistake, it impact how our military defends our country. so we need to act, and we need to act now. >> is that really the message that young members of the military want to hear? let me understand this. climate change, one of the biggest threats to our national security. this is a guy that negotiated with iran, that admits that there, their break out time is 11 years zero. he didn't demand that they recognize israel. he didn't demand that they stop being state sponsors of terror. this is a guy that's going to give the iranians nukes and that climate change is the biggest threat to our military in the world. do you agree with that? >> i think i'm doing a kiersten powers number here. did you listen to the same

speech? he said we have military issues, but for the coast guard, you can't ignore the threat of flooding, of hunger. food shortages, rushing around -- >> giving the iranians nukes. >> he didn't say anything about giving iranians nukes. >> by his own words, he said the breakout time in 11 years would be zero. >> in 11 years. >> so he wants to negotiate a deal that would prevent them from being able to -- >> no, that's the deal he's talking about. >> no, he's talking about a ten-year time frame. at the end of the ten years you would have to renegotiate the deal. >> he said it was one of many threats. he didn't say it was the absolute. >> made it sound like one of the biggest threats. >> and where he got that is from the pentagon. the pentagon is the one who says this. this is in a pentagon report by all those crazy left wingers at

the pentagon who say that client change is going to be a serious issue for the military. >> the time magazine in the '70s said the new ice age is coming. what is it? >> there was no great consensus about the ice age. that was -- the isis thing, it was not a broad-based consensus about it. >> consensus. so anybody like me who thinks it's a hoax is a denier. >> there wasn't a majority that said that an ice age is coming. >> we put up lists, names after names of scientists who say they think it's a hoax. >> the majority is the national academy of science. >> he's trying to tailor this speech to his audience. saying, you know, the coast guard are the ones who have to clean up the mess for climate change. if he goes to a culinary school, when it getting warmer, people lose their appetite.

it's going to come down on you guys. >> ann, love your thoughts on this. climate change, is that our biggest military threat? >> no, and, again, it doesn't surprise me. and that will be one of the questions in my tobacco-style hearings. we'll see howl of them are employed. how much they're making, how much they paid for that degree, how many hours of college are spent on climate change. how many professors they have teaching that and what the professors are making compared to what their graduates are making five years out. >> that really bothers you how much professors are getting paid. >> again, sean, we are paying for it. if you don't understand. that's exactly what my point is. >> you want to get rid of all student loans. >> if colleges are so competent, which you have the entire democratic party and president

obama saying this degree is worth so much money, let them guarantee their own loans. they can make all kinds of money. they don't make money. there are, a huge number of them aren't paid back. the taxpayer's on the hook for it. and the price keeps going up directly in line with how much the student loan -- >> here's the fallacy in what you're saying. >> there's no fallacy in what i'm saying. >> apart from the fact that it's not a job training institution you know. >> but that's how it's being sold. >> no, it's not. >> oh, no. no. no. >> hang on. what we say is a smart, analytical ability. >> no, president -- >> the ability to think critically and engage in a debate with sean and its and ann coulter is a good thing. >> 1 million times. >> you would think conservatives should value books written, the classics by the dead white men, you should want americans to read those books and think about them. >> if this were a free market and people were choosing colleges bade based on that,

that's probably what they would be learning in college. >> that's what sean said, it's hard to get into harvard, yale and princeton. >> do you think most colleges they are reading great books? you are absolutely wrong. >> you are wrong. i go to college campuses more often. >> oh, you absolutely do not. with the stokely carmichael remark. >> the ability to think and to speak doesn't matter. the ability to write doesn't matter all you think, you get a big-paying job, that pays off your college degree. >> first you said nobody tries to sell colleges as -- >> you are. >> hey, i am still talking. >> go. go. go. >> you say no one's selling college as a way to make more money in the future. then you spend the rest of your filibuster saying it will help you make more money. >> no. >> yes, you, democrats, michelle obama, as they used to do with the 0-down mortgages, when you spend $2 million on this house, it's an investment in your future. this is how college tuition, astronomical bills -- again, i'm

still talking, apparently my side will not be heard. >> they're actually not teaching them critical thinking skills and not teaching them debate. in my book, it is filled with horror stories of exactly how they tamp down debate. >> i know there are instances like that. i don't doubt -- my son, the conservative has told me about this. but let me tell you overwhelmingly, where do you get to read great books, argue about them? it's america's colleges. >> you have no idea what's going on. >> the greatest book i read was milton freedman. >> al gore global warming document. they're reading racism stories all day. and their parents are $200,000 poorer. liberals are more likely invited to give these addresses. we're going to go over the numbers with our panel, and much more straight ahead. invited to give these addresses

more than conservatives, we're going to go over the numbers when eating healthy and drinking water just isn't enough to ease my constipation i trust dulcolax tablets. i take dulcolax for dependable overnight relief and in the morning i am back to myself dulcolax, designed for dependable relief who does this kinda thing online? i-i-i clicked on some links, ugh the kids weren't even home. wait, wait, wait, this changes everything. it's cars.com service & repair feature. so we'll never pay more than we should. well done. research, price, find. get the right service without all the drama.

boy: once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. one day, it started to rain and rain. water got inside and ruined everybody's everythings. the house thought she let the family down. but the family just didn't think a flood could ever happen. the reality is floods do happen. protect what matters. call the number on your screen or visit the website to learn more. my name's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. along with support chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health

problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i love myself as a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

graduates, you made it. [cheers and applause] and, you're [ bleep ]. teachers, they'll all be working. [ bleep ] jobs with lousy pay, but yeah, they're still working. the graduates in accounting, they all have jobs. where does that leave you? envious of those accountants? i doubt it. now that you've made your choice or rather succumbed to it, your path is clear. not easy, but clear. you have to keep working, it's that simple. you got to dish, big deal. well, it's a start.

on this day of triumphantly graduating, a new door is opening for you. a door to a lifetime of rejection. it's inevitable. it's what graduates call the real world. >> that was actor robert de niro speaking to tish school of the arts. it seems these days when you hear a graduation speech, more often than not, it's given by a liberal.

among the top 100 universities, liberal speakers outnumber conservatives, 6-1. among the top 50, it increases to nine liberals to every one conservative. an author discussed this recently here on this program. >> the conservatives usually do get invited to give commencement speeches are usually invited to catholic schools or in the south. fewer and fewer are willing to do that. >> one rare exception, former president george w. bush. >> you live in a land that is compassionate and decent, because we believe in the rights in our own citizenry, we are committed to defending the rights and dignity of people everywhere. america has liberated millions from around the world from tyranny and terror. we've helped turn the tide against deadly disease in places like africa. in our hearts, we believe all are created equal under god. the liberty we prize is not america's gift to the world. it is all mighty god's gift to humanity. >> finally, a conservative. you still don't like any commencement speeches. would you give one if invited? >> i would prefer not. >> if a college asked you to

give one, what colleges have you spoken at? you've spoken at many. >> lots of them. >> you've been to harvard? >> oh, yeah. >> princeton, yale, brown? dartmouth? >> i don't think i've been to brown. >> what is the reception for you? >> fantastic. i was just describing the room is lined with policemen like i'm david duke coming to speak. it's fantastic. >> so you like the confrontation. >> i'm a little disappointed in liberals, though. since obama has become president they don't know what the chant should be. they used to hold me responsible for everything the bush administration did. and that was just fantastic. i used to answer the phone, bush lied, kids died. >> at one college university, they tried to hit you with a pie. >> and missed. . >> bad aim? >> i moved. >> they can't afford ann coulter. >> the colleges aren't paying

for it. >> i don't care if the college is republican or conservative. but ann coulter's on their campus for education. from that perspective, it's not a bad thing. >> don't you think it's healthy for college kids to hear ann coulter? >> shoe, because i value debate. >> but republicans don't. >> i think that's what college should be ability. let me just come back to your topic, though. because as i said, i used to do a lot of commencement addresses, but the fox connection and the npr, you can see a dropoff. this is not data that's coming from some skewed source. this is very real in terms of who makes the decision to give the commencement address. i think this is corrupt, but i will say that it shouldn't be, it's not intended to be a political address. it's intended to be a moment of celebration, brass tacks. >> you have a big black tie dinner. thank you for be being with us tonight. and this is coming up next. >> so if you want to change the

world, start off by making your bed. >> some call that speech by naval admiral william mccraven to graduates last year one of the best commencements ever. we'll play it for you as this special edition of hannity continues after the break. edition of "hannity" continues. thanks for the ride around norfolk! and i just wanted to say geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years! roger that. captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer... it's gonna be dark by the time i get there. geico. proudly serving the military for over 75 years.

>> welcome back to "hannity." last year, admiral william mccraven addressed the graduate offense texas austin and gave them ten life lessons to live by. here's a small sample one of the lessons that stood out. take a look. >> it matters not your gender your ethnic or religious background, your orientation or your social status. our struggles in this world are similar. and the lessons to overcome those struggles and to move forward, changing ourselves and changing the world around us will apply equally to all. if you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. and it will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. and by the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. if you can't do the little

things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right. and if my chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made. that you made. and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better. so if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. >> all right, we continue with our panel. almost the last segment of the show. i love that speech because it talks about life is hard do the little things. i really like that speech. what would you tell graduates. i'll give you 30 seconds. kirsten power, what would be your message? >> i can not do that. first of all, i don't make my bed in the morning. i'm a loser. i'm not doing the little things. >> what is your advice? >> i don't know. i mean i do think -- i do think

that people have to be warned that life actually is difficult. and it's not going to be like these day care centers that our colleges are today. that people need to be prepared and be encouraged to push through. i think something that sometimes i might have wanted to hear when i was younger that i don't know people bring up in commencement speeches a lot. they focus so much on career and they don't talk as much about finding a spouse and a partner for your life and the importance of -- >> eww. tell them that they'll think ohh! >> i never heard that. i think that's something that i probably would have been a good thing to sort of hear. >> coming out. >> why is that a copout? >> i think that -- they always try to give grand advice and no one is listening. it's hard to make young people listen. i never ended up graduating so i never went to a graduation for college. but i had a speaker who came to my high school, an athlete. i don't know if he was the bruins or celtics or red sox, but it was some athlete. and he said, if i could give you one piece of advice keep a

diary. wake up and write something down. and i thought all right, isle do it. i started doing it. and it was great. that changed my life. that little thing that this athlete said i wish i knew who it was so i could thank him. he said keep a diary. that started me writing and it started me writing comedy and jokes a career. it was life changing. just a thing an athlete said. >> coulter, what would you say? >> don't go to law school. >> that's it? is over? >> if you're not employed within, you know, a month or after summer after graduation and you have to pay back your student loans or entire college tuition within five years, you should sue this university. anthropology women's studies, climate change you have wasted your money. >> they have to take it. >> i know! what was juan talking about? does he know what's happening on college campuses?

that's going to come up in my college hearings. what are anthropology majors earning five years out. >> here's my advice. you're going to give fearful the first speech, fearful the first time on television or radio, like i was, you have to jump off the high board. you have to take chances. that's my speech. good night, folks. >> they should hire you. >> first time i got to improve on ann coulter. approval of ann -- >> you should have said that at something
