we've seen anti-semitism grow on american university campuses. we've watched orthodox jews being assaulted in the streets of new york city. we've heard anti-semitic statements right here in the halls of congress. i've watched in horror as a christian as mainline churches have passed resolutions singling out democratic israel for special condemnation, while ignoring countries like north korea and iran and syria. and they do this in the name of my savior jesus christ. as a christian, that outrageous me. these church bureaucracies do not speak for america's christians. so, i have a humble suggestion to make, and the senator has already alluded to it. let's not permit anti-semitism to become a political football in the united states. if someone on the right engages in anti-semitism, those of us on the right should aggressively confront that individual. if anti-semitism comes from the progressive left, the first responsibility to deal with it comes from the leaders of the progressive movement, who should boldly get it out of their movement. if an imra

americans universities are key centers of scientific research and technical innovation.hina would like to steal that information and they are. as of tonight the fbi isev investigating more than a thousand cases in whichle they believe china has stolen research from american firms. if anything, our top colleges are encouraging this to happen. you can see by the way they recruit. chinese grad students filler research labs.uc this makes college mr. writers much richer, but it allows the chinese government easy access to critical information. some of it that directly bears on our national security. american academics have made it clear who said they are on. last november officials off the university of missouri kansas city removed artistic display supporting protesters in hong kong because chinese students complained. according to the new republic, columbia university's innovation canceled talks because they might upset chinese officials. they are squelching free speech at the direction of communistn china. that's common in the business world. disney changed its tibetan char

the coeducation at the american university in kabul, for instance, which has been a target of talibanin recent years, it meant so much when i met with those young women. some of them told me they had been disavowed by their families and villages for going to school with boys. >> right. and for participating in all sectors of their society yet they're amongst the most resilient and determined women you'll meet anywhere in the world because of what the price is that they have had to pay to get to that point, to be educated, to be able to move about freely in society. they don't want to go back. and this is one of the things they're scared about now and rightfully so. we know what the record is of the taliban and its treatment towards women. we know what the record is of women that have beaten all odds to be -- to function in that society and who do you want to believe at this point? >> john allen, you saw on the ground the cost, the horrific cost of this war. no question that we have to draw down, get out at some point. we can't create a democracy in afghanistan, but can we trust the af

we have concerns about pandemics, people being quarantined at american universities now arguably notf cases, thankfully, in the united states yet. but are you surprised we haven't seen more of a pull back, more volatility why go up today when we lost 600 on friday? >> the ism manufacturing number was positive. >> the manufacturing number they pulled off because they changed the data in is going to overcome concerns about coronavirus. >> we think you're in this period where there's volatility to the upside and the down side and you're going to have a lot of headline risk look, if we get an outcome in iowa tonight that the market interpreting as something that's a threat, say the progressives do even better than expected or the moderates do not do as well, that could be something that causes a pull back. >> wrap this up on a macro level for me on sectors to give the viewers something to look at when you look at tech, that's been outperforming, you look at the growth names, the momentum names but what hasn't performed for me is my chemical. i have an idea with the esg investing, when yo

good example of something where there is actually more agreement than you would think among americans. universalackground checks, that is something that the best majority of republicans and gun owners agree that we should do. the question is, what's wrong with washington that we can't get it through? we know what is wrong. with presidential leadership, we can change that. with young people speaking up and talking about why it's personal we can change that. we need red flag loss that disarmed domestic abusers and make it possible that someone we know can be a danger to themselves or others to do something about it. this is common sense. when it comes to the kind of weaponry that is out there, whether it is your family members and being worried about a family member who is a police officer or just being worried about keeping our schools safe, the bottom line is that any weaponry remotely resembling the stuff i had to train on in the military to go to war has no business doing sold for profit anywhere near your school. [applause] mayor pete: that's a good note to end on. when i talk about solving p

one of the things i do in washington besides teach at american university is, i am a nonresident fellowt a migration policy institute, and one of the things we do is debate what a good immigration policy would be. what would that look like? one possibility is it would involve advanced planning. what are the country's economic needs going forward? would we create a five-year plan, 10-year plan for who we invite into our country? what kind of skills they would have, and how would our concerns about the skills of incoming immigrants mesh with our desire to be humanitarian and accept the relatives of those already here, the family reunification element of previous legislation. a tremendous number of very hard questions for our country to answer. clearly we are enmeshed in a ferocious debate which, because of the contemporary spirit of nativism and xenophobia, has become very embittered and very angry. americans are furious about this issue, and in many of the polls polls that have been taken when americans are asked what is the most important issue for you in the next election, a remarkable

are hand selected, regime selected teachers who teach a regime approved propaganda course on american universitiespaying for these. student loans are funded 90% by the department of education. charles: also this stealing trade secrets, there was a case couple weeks ago involving an ivy league school. this is worrisome. why would the schools allow this? is this idealogical sort of kinship there or is it just the money, the billions of dollars being too much to resist? >> well i guess the u.s. taxpayers billions and trillions, 1.6 trillion in student loans backed by u.s. government, the taxpayers billions weren't enough so they had to go hunting for other billions. this is primarily about money. there is a lot of money coming into universities through programs like this and through foreign students, especially for public universities, the difference between in-state tuition and full tuition they can charge to people from other countries is a big moneymaker. charles: they often pay in cash. something happened, near and dear your heart, the house removed deadline from the equal rights movement. you ha

your policy of an american universal basic income or freedom dividend has come under criticism for those who claim it may under cut key federal assistance programs such as social security and medicaid. how would you reassure voters who dmend on the programs their needs will be met? >> thank you for the question. as most of you know the proposal is a freedom dividend of $1,000 a month for every american adult at age 18. >> i'm 17 going on 18. >> imagine your 18th birthday president yang says freedom dividend time. and your senior year in high school you a financial literacy class to decide how you'll make use of this income. this would be a game changer and make it so the economy works for young people. right now we have to face facts we're stacking the deck did against young people much much more serious will than ever been the case in this country. if you were born in the united states in the 1990s you're down to a 5050 shot of ding better than your parents and it's declining fast. the last thing i want to do is take resources away from americans relying on existing programs. i wanted t
