students of georgetown university started a petition to take away memorial day. >> can americans uniterial day? >> i don't think memorial day should be a thing we celebrate. >> why not? >> it's a celebration of u.s. imperialism. >> absolutely not. i think it represents a lot of negative aspects of america and highlights something that people should not necessarily be proud of. >> i think we should rebrand memorial day as something else. let's celebrate something worth while. >> greg: they would be dead if it wasn't for people fighting for their freedom! it was a big petition. one student admitted he didn't hate america until he got to college. >> i didn't think this way until i got to college. classes put me on the path where i am like [bleep] the u.s. >> greg: nicely done. he is wearing a rutgers t-shirt. also a school, pete. not named after this man but should be. here's why rutgers sucks they apologizing for condemning anti-semitic attacks. you should promote the attackers reasons for attackers. rutgers is finally a top rated university when it comes to doing stupid [bleep]. pete, m

i think the way that works at georgetown, once you're given the scholarship for a year and you attend the university, then your scholarship is maintained throughout that year but it is renewed on a year to year basis. if you're a freshman, you have to figure out how to pay for the rest of the four years. and now it is different with covid. i was able to walk out. i did have teammates that opted out as well and their scholarship was still taken care of for this year. >> i was not just talking about the safety aspect. with covid they recognize that there is a real safety risk to playing right now and you are allowed to opt out. even for a period of time, like having the ability to say, i don't feel safe in this environment or i'm in pain. i need help. not feeling like there will be retribution is important. >> that's part of the testimony we're submitting from dallas hobbs who played at wsu who had concerns as related to covid standards during the football season and bringing that up. so yeah. i think we want to get more information from across the united states on these things. we thin

we visited georgetown students to see how much they were willing to do for the planet. everybody agreed how crucial it was to fight climate change. >> how important is climate change to you and combatting it, fighting against it? >> climate change is like everything. when you live, you like clear air and clear environment. >> i think it's important because the climate is something that we live in and we thrive on. so it's something that we need to protect. >> it's protects us and everything around us. so yeah, i don't think people have been doing enough for it. >> very important. >> i agree, it's very important and should be taken more seriously. it upsets me that it's been politicized. >> you think we should do everything in our power as individuals to combat it? >> yeah, obviously. >> it's very important. why not? this shouldn't be a question. >> directly affect us. so we should be doing everything we can. >> biden released a plan for climate change trying to combat the crisis. would you support a plan like that? >> yes. >> i would follow it if it did things correctly

so the fog of law the title of the speech i gave at georgetown law school about a year after iraq. not exactly sure when it was. some of which we are still doing because it's too hard to answer hard questions, and said that it is very unclear especially to folks who have to be the actors carrying out his programs. but they are supposed to do. don't have a legal framework about rounding whole thing. in the first term of bush 43 but a lot of what we're doing in the surveillance area was not it compliance but i did not know it at the time. it is not in compliance with the laws that relates to the foreign intelligence act. it wasn't because vice president cheney and others assumed congress would good do a good job and maybe should be cut out amending pfizer to cover these things. so what did they do? don't the justice department at the office of legal counsel. to write some opinions justify what they are doing. so when i asked the question is in full compliance with the law? the answer is always yes. is not full compliance by what congress passed by the legal department. one many peopl
