harvard's acceptance rate is above 5%. they brag about how many high school valedictorians they reject. how many admissions officers does harvard have that will admit poorly educated haitians that can't speak english? none. harvard is famous and admired because its selective. in other words, it discriminates on achievement and ability. if harvard chose its students the way america chose its immigrants, our elites wouldn't send their kids there. the cache would be gone along with the quality. the same goes for corporate america. does facebook hire by a diversity lottery? would google apply temporary protected status to its own work force? hiring and keeping thousands of people at no skills because they're from impoverished background? another dumb question. the people that run google and facebook care about their companies. the same way that people that run harvard care about their school. the one thing none of them care about is america which is why they're demanding standards for our country they would never apply to them

harvard's acceptance rate is just a hair above 5%.hey brag about how many high school valedictorians they reject. now harvard has countless professors who support open borders and fret about white privilege, yet, how many admissions officers do they hava who will admit poorly educated haitians who can't speak english? let's see, none. not a single one. harvard is famous and admired because it is selective, and otherca words, because it discriminates on the basis of achievement and ability. if harvard chose its students the way america chooses as immigrants, our elites wouldn't send their kids there. the cachet would be gone, along with the quality. the seam of course goes for corporate america. does facebook hire hire by a diversity lottery? come on. would google apply temporary protected status to its own workforce, hiring and keeping thousands of people with no relevant skills, simplyop becaue they are from impoverished backgrounds? another dumb question. the people who run google and facebook care about their companies, and the sam

you very recently graduated from harvard law and have some personal experience with this as well butyou talk about in the book. >> host: i left this town and they were incredible opportunities i think as a conservative because i did encounter a definite mix on the campuses from professors and my peers and i didn't think that it was advantageous to me to be able to engage other side and argument. >> host: you talk about one of your professors at oxford and i'm sorry to ask you this second question but that reminds me of the way dan jones and alan combs were very kind to you in this experience to liberate a media professor at pushed you could make you a better commentator. >> guest: that is true and one of my favorite moments in the book and important moment in my life going to oxford. you have to read your argument and paper out loud you have your arguments systematically dismantled and it's supposed to be an aggressive intent and i remember drafting my paper on the foreign policy walking into this graveyard walking at this stairwell getting to the top encountering my professor and as

brian: you dedicated your madison book to a professor at harvard.t does it mean to be his clerk? noah: they are both about relationships. the first is a living person, the second is a person i never knew. justice souter, whom i worked for and to whom i dedicated the book was an extraordinary boss. he was just a deeply inspiring figure in the justice system. he was a bipartisan-oriented republican. he was a member of the republican party for most of his career until he went on the bench and put aside his partisan affiliation. he was deeply committed to the constitution. he was just a profoundly humane, deeply well read, and inspiring person. a person of probity and rectitude, that everybody was struck by his honesty and his straightforwardness. you always knew exactly where he -- where you stand with him. that has been a great and lifelong relationship for me. brian: how much did james madison and justice souter affect your clerkship? noah: he did very much. every summer, the justice would give the incoming clerks an assignment to research some probl

because schlesinger was fast tracked through school, it means that although he was at harvard, he wasn't in the same year as john f. kennedy. he was actually in the same year as kennedy's older brother. and, you know, i think that that relationship always has a kind of curious quality of both being an insider, but not part of the kennedy circle. and ultimately, i think the thing that brings them together is not some of the usual things -- throwing a football at hyannis port and so on -- it is actually the relationship as a historian, that kennedy loved history, was a writer, thought of himself as a historian. and so where they really bonded was over history. >> we're going to talk a bit about this, i hope, over the course of our conversation and during the q&a, but to what extent do you think president kennedy was comfortable sharing his thinking with arthur schlesinger? >> i think that's a really interesting question. i think he's very comfortable in company of arthur schlesinger, that schlesinger is somebody who inside the white house he would quite often just drop by at the end of the
