when you have people like condoleezza rice who was invited to speak at a commencement at rutgers, urgingm to not invite her. she said i don't want to be a distraction. and a former muslim politician was invited to speak, take back the honorary degree and honored by her. people are actually irrational. is the trump derangement syndrome. it's one-third of the indoctrination. these kids are not being education. some colleges or universities, he can't find a conservative in the department. kids are getting a one-sided education and their parents are paying for it. it's an outrage. >> kimberly: it's concerning to think that this is what parents are paying for. and trying to get an education in this country and they are programmed and brainwashed. it's a groupthink situation at these college campuses. >> this is where we have to get the word out. college students need to understand that during this period of their lives, the four years that they're going through the process of being educated, that it's incumbent upon them to listen to different views. to go to classes that they don't necessari

we see people invited and then disinvited condoleezza rice for one. it seems to me that this suggests a lack of understanding on the part of students who participate in the source of activities about the nature of free expression into the free society. at least in our society. and an unwillingness to allow a speech to be heard which they think is deeply and profoundly pick your word wrong wrongheaded that lead people in the wrong direction. sometimes it reaches a level of uncertainty. and the students protested some people have put in chalk on the ground supporting trump for president. and students protested that their psyche was hurt by cnet and it made them feel bad and there was a whole proceeded about it. as if one had to take the this sort of thing seriously. but more commonly and more dangerously i think we have just seen a lot of examples of people on campuses around the country who were in one way or another not permitted to speak because of their views and very often not permitted to speak even though people on the other side have been permit

on television this morning, condoleezza rice said it is america's birth defect. maybe it is one or the other, maybe it is both. it is an impediment that none of us, white, black, whatever else we may be -- none of us have fully gotten over it. none of us have fully addressed it. and your mention of black lives matter today is part in parcel of our inability to face the past as honestly and fully as we need to, bringing both sides of the division together, to look each other in the eye and be honest together. we have not yet done that. i think that the world that susanna and john wheatley played makes it more possible for us to do that. i hope that answers you. others? yes. >> poetry question. [laughter] what do you like about wheatley's poetry? what do we have to gain by studying wheatley as a poet? i happen to be a wheatley fan. prof. lewis: her work is kind of prismatic in the sense that different ages have interpreted her differently. some ages have said, oh my god, she wasn't black -- all that religion stuff, alexander pope and all of that classic stuff, wher

condoleezza rice. the treatment that sarah palin got into thousand eight. for the media to cry foul when they are willing to turn a blind eye every time a republican woman is trashed by other members of the medium is a little rich. >> tucker: i could add a lot to the observation but you're absolutely right. these are not the people who should be making that claim at all. i like a lot of them, actually. they are nice people. i wonder if there is a kind of method behind this. my instinct when i saw these tweets was the president got mad and wrote this. they're attacking him and he gets mad and that's how the white house explains it but i wonder if there is a strategic element to this. >> i think probably from a business standpoint they think that it makes for good television. that's a lot of what these shows are about. i think that they think it will cast them as sort of the heroic role against a villain in the white house so it's a chance for them to get this kind of controversy and battle and not have to talk about really complicated, really thorny issues t

i remember i looked at condoleezza rice, gave me a nod, i said with all due respect, we have affect problemwe have a problem that we can't communicate when there are a bad on the ground. reshaping higher committee had and can be interesting. he mentioned in the opening how anthony scaramucci has taken on cnn. if you look at how he did that, he did it with such a light touch. after they corrected it, he said cool, no problem, everybody makes mistakes. i'm good. then he walked away. he let everyone else take the fight for him. i think that might be a different way of looking at things because sean spicer was answering the president's call to be an attack dog and punch and hit and fight, uppercuts, all sorts of things. he would try to fight back against what they see as unfair press coverage. anthony scaramucci might have the same type of goal, but may be a different tactic and see if it works. >> tucker: i heard you say something off cam of the other to add that was smart. he said one of the problems here is that there is no consensus within the party about what the party ought to stand for.

when you had people like condoleezza rice for crying out loud who was invited to speak at the commencementpetitions passed around signed by professors and students urging them not to invite her and she was classy and said "i don't want to be a distraction" and withdraws. the former scandinavian muslim politician is invited to speak at brandeis. is given an honorary degree. the they take back the honorary degree and uninvite her. this is before trump. right now this kind of stuff is on steroids. people are irrational. i call it the trump derangement syndrome and academia is part of what i call the access of indoctrination, one leg of the axis of indoctrination, they're being indoctrinated and parents are paying for this. in some colleges and universities you can't find a conservative in the political of economics or history and the kids are getting a one sided education and the parents are paying for it and it is an utrage. >> kimberly: that this is -- and it is an outrage. >> kimberly: parents and students are taking out loans to be educated and they're being brainwashed like a group-think

bush as governor of texas, it was condoleezza rice who knew a thing or two about the soviet union andussia. in in context, who are his foreign policy advisers? he has general flynn and his relationships with russia. hoist campaign manager, paul manafort, who has these ties to ukraine. look at the short history. what are they doing other than trying to annex portions of it? they have infiltrated their election system and their critical infrastructure. there is a template of what the russians do and people close to trump who knew what the russians were up to. the son, president, is blase about taking some information with a russian national who might have information about his opponent. that goes beyond naivete. it's either stunning arrogance to think you are unvulnerable to that kind of penetration from the russians or something worse. >> if the argument was, there was no collusion and nothing to see here, why are all these facts starting to stack up of at least irresponsibility. look, it may be that the biggest offense here by the trump folks was arrogance and the unwillingness to bel

even in the bush years we saw that condoleezza rice first african-american, secretary.et the same accolades. first of all, we freed the slaves. we gave women the right to vote against the voice of the democratic party at that time. and we have always been the party of opportunity and upward mobility and promoting women based on merit not on jeopardy. that's something that i think we should be proud of. i think the main issue for me is i think it was very revealing, for example, when ivanka trump tweeted about equal pay and she got slapped down by online feminists. this is a feminist movement that is not really a feminist movement. it masks them nist movement. it's really abortion movement. i think the policies that are going to take away funding for planned parenthood and other issues that are so dear to that abortion movement that are actually driving this. that's why they say these women are complicit or just ignore them. ainsley: they preach tolerance and the feminist movement as long as you agree with them. >> of course. ed: you had your beautiful family here cookin
