you applied to law school at harvard and got into harvard law school.as the class have women and half men? [laughter] justice ginsberg: in those ancient days, i went to law school from 1956 to 1959. in my entering class of harvard law school there were 500 and the class, nine of us were women. a big jump from marty's class. he was a year ahead of me. there were five women in his class. schoolthe harvard law has about 50% women. [applause] david: in your harvard law school class, you did extremely well and got onto the harvard law review. you were near the top of your class. first were tied for first. when your husband needed to move to new york, you wanted to transfer to columbia law school and the dean of the harvard law school do not think that was such a great idea if you wanted to be a harvard graduate. is that correct? justice ginsberg: he said i had to spend my third year at harvard. the reason i did not was because marty was diagnosed with a testicular tumor in his third year of law school. days for cancer cure. there was no such thing as chemoth

say oh no no no i'd send them to harvard now i think that's a wrong decision absolutely because now i ask the same people i say ok now think of your job you're an employer you're interviewing 2 candidates for this job one candidate has a degree from harvard university you ask them questions in your interview and they do 5 the other candidate goes to university that is ranked $100.00 spots lower than ard but boy in the interview they can take a problem that you've posed to them break it down into its component parts they can put those component parts back together in interesting ways and provide novel solutions to the problem you posed they then think about what happens when you implement the solution in the unexpected outcomes and 2nd order effects of that solution then modify it accordingly and they can explain to you clearly what that solution is and how that would work with a team to implement it who would you hire. and every parent that said oh yeah it's a make at harvard with immediately says i'd hire the 2nd person and so you have this bizarre dichotomy which is when we make d

aging be cured just like any other disease well i asked davidson claire professor of genetics at harvard medical school. terry son claire welcome to the show it's great to have you with us with lots to talk about so you suggest that aging may be looked at as a disease that can be treated what makes you think that age is a medical condition rather than the natural course of things. we'll aging is just like every other condition that causes us to be sick and eventually die we like to think it's natural because it happens to most people but in 100 years ago cancer heart disease frailty these are things that that if you lived long enough you would get it and eventually we learned how to treat those things we understood what the basis was and we're at the same stage with aging we know of the 1st time a fundamental understanding of what causes aging how to slow down and even potentially how to treat it and reverse the process and my argument about why we should focus on it is that aging is the major cause of all of the diseases that we try to stop and sort of trying to whack them on the head o

the students sat down and blocked the harvard yale game in the middle of the game wanting divesting of. energy firms and such so you know they're responding to that indeed they are but who is really leading the charge here is so you have the blackrock of make the announcement that they were putting sustainability at the core of their strategy now germany and france have joined in with them so would you say this is a this is more lead by the state or more led by the private sector. well i think there's some of both but in this the public leads that the reason the state is interested is because there's a lot of pressure from society and some firms are shaping to that obviously the firm's job and it's probably you know in their legal contracts in some way it is to maximize shareholder value maximize their returns but again there may be a market for doing what they're doing and they're seeing themselves as cutting off other trouble later that sounds very much like an everybody wins approach is it well i mean it's a strategy the firms who they're pulling their money out of are not winnin

. >> this turns out to be harvard law professor versus harvard law pro percent. alan dershowitz on the floor of the senate being challenged by professor lawrence tribe who is a constitutional law professor. he has greater stature on the subjects. professor tribe is going to join us in this hour. >> nice. >> to respond to the dershowitz argument that no matter what the impeachment managers say about donald trump, none of it -- none of it is an impeachable offense. >> the dershowitz v. dershowitz argument is the most impressive argument of the week i have to say. seeing him argue against his former self. seemed both he and ken starr concede. these arguments will not be joined by most of the legal profession. nevertheless, take it from us, both of whom have -- famous for publicly arguing the exact opposite in this lifetime. >> it's going to be fair this hour. dershowitz and tribe versus dershowitz. we have a referee for it. >> oh. >> i think i'm going to turn to a third harvard professor to referee this harvard law professor battle another harvard law professor. >>

the harvard law review.s that true? justice ginsberg: so far. david: and you have a son who is in the music business? james grew uprg: with a passion for music and no talent as a performer. when he went to the university of chicago, he was a classical disc jockey on the student radio station. then in the years he was in and out of law school, he was also making recordings. one day he told us he liked what much more than his law classes. we said fine, if that is what you want to do. his recordings are jams. .- are gems david: you have any grandchildren? justice ginsberg: i have four grandchildren. david: what your grandchildren call you? justice ginsberg: i am a jewish grandmother. david: in the harvard law review and the columbia law review, you are flooded with job offers from the major law firms. justice ginsberg: there was not a single firm in the entire city of new york that would take a chance on me. ♪ david: in the harvard law review and the columbia law review were flooded with job uppers -- with job

reason, all of my stars went to harvard. fought in world war i as well. later became a new york ad executive. he was one of these people who went over without any great idealism, without any romanticism, and quickly soured on the whole experience of famine fighting. he wrote these letters to friends and his fiancee back home that are just dripping with sardonic and cynical and, at times, tasteless comments. but i thought this was a good contrast with the idealism of someone like childs. and then i have a romantic and harold fleming, get a harvard man, studied economics. he went over thinking it would be a great adventure as well. but the first few months, he found visible in moscow, he regretted having come, told his mother and father in his letters he really wished he could get back the united states soon. and then he hired a russian language tutor, and, all of a sudden, things changed, he never wanted to go back to the united states and had a series of romances. even after he left russia kept wishing he could go back and m

dubois and trotter were at harvard see tame time. dubois was a graduate student. dubois had a crush on and was wooing geraldine who became trotter's wife. and they were used to dance the berlin, dance so they used to dance together and trot we're come and the pushed dubois aside and went to trotter. these thing that dubois writes, damn that trotter comes in and steals the person i wanted. so the marries trotter, they remained close in terms of friendship with one another so trotter when he came to boston, often stayed in trotter's house in dorchester. and when they're getting together to decide on this niagra movement, that is -- that conversation takes place in trotter oses house in dorchester. and initially they're allied through the niagra movement. and trotter actually -- dubois refer to him as john the baptist of the. no he gets all the people come to boston and say we're going to found this new movement. the problem was that once the movement gets started, and they corral all of these talents members to be a member of it, trotter got mad because clement morg

epstein at the point new very close friends with president of harvard, the provost of harvard, noam chomsky, david gergen, you name it, almost every major academic was a friend of jeffrey epstein. all of these people were there at the time and nobody suspected that anything anything was wrong or he did anything at all that was untoward. as soon as i found out that, my relationship with him change completely. i did represent him as a lawyer but he had paid me for every minute that i spoke with him. it was never a friendship after that and once the case is over a relationship with him in did. he was calm on the phone periodically to check on the status of his earlier case but we didn't have a relationship or friendship after that. i was introduced to him by a very elegant and imminent woman named the lady rothschild, lynn rothschild, the wife of the lord in rothschild. it was in that context i met prince andrew. he came to my class and he wrote me a letter, probably worth a couple of bucks now. i have this letter, a dear alan letter signed andrew in which he thinks he for inviting him to the

he graduated from harvard college and harvard law school where he invested another of trotter's friends, w.e.b. dubois for the immigration price. morgan and trotter route rallied their students against protest for segregated barbershops in cambridge which led to massachusettsdivision of its civil rights legislation . the black man at the center of that case, william henry lewis was morgan's classmate at harvard law school, a graduate of williams college and a gifted athlete who went on to coach football at harvard. lewis's inability to get a haircut and a white owned barbershop during commencement exercises prompted the first civil rights protest. as an attorney who was selected to the common council and the state legislature lewis answered trotter's call when the guardian editor called on boston's small but significant class of black attorneys to defend rogers in court . unfortunately for monroe rogers conservative racial accommodation triumphed over rack black radical demands for his protection. on august 30 the attorney general reviewed the risk, brought in police officers who were s

you went to harvard and harvard law school.ut even more impressive you served in the 101st airborne in iraq and later in afghanistan with the provincial reconstruction team. in between tours. you served with the old guard at arlington national cemetery. you go to harvard law school, then you decide to go into the military? >> some people may say i redeemed myself by joining the army after going to harvard. i started my final year of law school in september of 2001. the second week of school i was in evidence class back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and we didn't have smart phones in the classroom. it was about an hour later when everyone found out what happened. we watched as the towers fell down and flight 93 crashed inning shanksville. we had a prayer vigil. from that point forward i knew i wanted to serve in the country's military. i thought about rushing out to join right away. some friends in the military discouraged me from doing that. i was into three years of paying for law school. but when that finished i joined the

the obama's daughter ended up going to harvard. [laughter] but it is reassuring.t would be very disturbing if they actually believed this stuff worked at scale way they claim it does. her husband came up with a more six and one, telling to lies at once. "just because it is not some namebrand, famous, fancy school, doesn't mean you not going to get a great education there." first off, if it isn't a namebrand, fancy school, you are not going to get a great education, you are just going to get a diploma. if it is a namebrand school, you probably also want to get an education. [laughter] to right size the scaling for our intellectual life, you should describe harvard not as one of thousands of great universities, you should describe it as a studio 54 nightclub, it is a tournament, probably good for self-esteem and bad for the morals of the people who go there. probably not a criminal thing, doesn't need to be shut down, but probably does not deserve a tax deduction. [laughter] back to this sort of, the last, the much healthier world of finance and capitalism and back

giving it four years of harvard? hopefully not. so that's my answer to that question. it's a rhetorical question. i'm answering the question as fully as i can. there's no -- >> we import educated people from china and india and russia to do our educated tasks. >> is that a good idea? >> no, it's a terrible idea. >> exactly. that's the answer to the question, isn't it, that you really would like to have kind of educated folks who can fill the jobs that you describing? there really are not jobs to be filled. i don't have a number for you but there are -- >> there are 12 whole years of education before you get to college. >> so let me tell you one of the things that happens. first of all, of course. i went to the class i described at the beginning of the session and i had two reactions. one was oh, my god, these are smart kids and really good teaching, and making stuff is going on. i'm so impressed. then there was, what the hell happened in those 12 years that preceded this? i wouldn't argue in the least that k-12 is doing its job. i also don't think, and yes, the whole o

. -- harvard trained philosopher, bob moses. moses had an aura status in sncc because he had what i call quiet power. you know that saying, not the one who is mustering the most or hollering the most or the one who is the flashiest, but there is just something. yeah, quiet power. moses -- chad's like i got quiet power. [laughter] i saw that. so moses had that. moses had been asked by the head of the naacp in mississippi to come down to mississippi and help register folks to vote. so even separate from what is called the bobby kennedy organization, moses was on his way down. and he gets to mississippi, with about 12,000 residents and 250 african-americans registered to vote. yes? >> is he like volunteering or is he -- carol: he is volunteering. that is moses. this is a man that will be appropriately named. he went down to mccomb, mississippi and began setting up civic education classes. because her member when we are talking about the schools, talking about the textbooks in the schools, and in these jim crow schools, the textbook

it's harvard. >> exactly. it's not going to stop.'t go for that, trump might have to drone justin trudeau. that's what they talk about on cnn and msnbc. and they are the ones who say that the 63 million people are just credulous rubes. i'd be interested if hunter biden could find ukraine on a map, and he's made millions of dollars from that joint. >> tucker: also, like chris cuomo, a yale graduate. did you go to yale? i don't think you're smart enough to go to yale, are you? >> no, i certainly couldn't. i certainly don't have -- i mean, this is the idiocy of this. it's not a public policy difference anymore. it used to be that just republican presidents were stupid. now they are saying that tens of millions of americans are stupid. and in a democratic age, that's actually not going to help the people who advance that theory. >> tucker: imagine thinking that anyway. it's a deeply uncharitable, inhumane, cruel way to look at your own country. it's hard to imagine people feel that way. >> it is like a hot mic moment. that's what's so we

harvard law professor laurence tribe will be joining our discussion tonight. he will argue that the senate must call witnesses in the trump impeachment trial and when laurence tribe speaks, chief justices listen. and not just when professor tribe is arguing a case before the united states supreme court, as he has done countless times. professor tribe taught constitutional law to chief justice john roberts when roberts was a harvard law school student, and professor tribe has written a book about impeachment and so we will, once again, be taking notes when laurence tribe joins us later in this hour. in the last hour rachel once again delivered more of her interview with lev parnas that drove president trump today to deny that he even knows lev parnas. a lie that could not survive if lev parnas is a witness in the impeachment trial of donald john trump. >> my only objective is to get the truth out because i never thought i did anything -- was doing anything wrong. i still -- you know, i regret certain things that i did because, like, you know, hurting the ambass

charles lieber, chair of harvard's chemistry department, arrested today for concealing millions of dollarsn payments from the chinese government and hiding his involvement in a chinese program to acquire foreign technology and expertise. if those allegations against him are true, he betrayed this country to assist our most dangerous enemy and he wasn't alone. authorities have charged a boston university grad student who apparently was secretly serving as a lieutenant in the people's liberation army. on forward in her research straight to beijing. that researchers in china so she will likely not be charged. another researcher caught smuggling 21 vials of biological material out of logan airport in boston. remember when america was shocked when the rosenbergs were caught stealing secrets and sending them to the soviet union? today chinese spies are so common in colleges and in government, it doesn't even write a story. three news stories, each more compelling and more inherently important than the impeachment farce we have been enduring. what do these stories have in common? each one points

a member of president donald trump's impeachment defense team he's also a constitutional scholar harvard law school professor emeritus he joins us via skype that's was so many areas to cover alan what is say to friends who say is this this is not the alan dershowitz i know well they didn't know me i mean they forget that in when when richard nixon was impeached and i say that isn't pietschmann i was on the national board of the a.c.l.u. and i said no wait a minute you shouldn't be supporting us and feature it as the a.c.l.u. you should be in there defending his constitutional rights this procedural rights i think their position in the 1970 s. and then when clinton was impeached i took the same position against his impeachment and i started reading my book case against impeaching trump when hillary clinton looked like she was going to be elected president in the original title for the book was the case against teaching really fun there's a good get back there and that the republicans would have feature in day one so i'm the same alan dershowitz case here larry king we haven't changed one

you go back to school and come to harvard, you are much. more effective again, this is an example of the success in terms of an economy where people go to school, go into the field and work, and after seven to 10 years go back to school again, so they can be competent and relevant to the ever-changing economy now. that is what we have to do. the government can provide a lot employers,ncentive for wraparound services, and freedom to make payments for people who want to make school and get paid while they are in school. it is at the policy level that we need to do a better job. is the ceo ofwang coding dojo. guest: thank you so much. >> the house will be in order. announcer: for 40 years, c-span has been providing america with unfiltered coverage of congress, the white house, the supreme court, and public policy events from washington, d.c. and around the country so you can make up your own mind. created by cable1979, c-span is brought to you by your local cable or satellite provider. c-span

this city and really in the nation 1st looking at alan dershowitz a long time a law professor at harvard he's considered one of the preeminent constitutional lawyers in the u.s. dershowitz is actually democrats voted for hillary clinton however he has come out very strongly over the last 3 to 4 months or so even if before that saying that he believes that this impeachment trial is something that should not be pursued constitutionally and that there are no high crimes and so-called misdemeanors and so that's really caught trump's attention and i think that's probably why he brought dershowitz on his team also dershowitz his peers on television here in the united states as a legal analyst a lot so he's very adept with the media spotlight and i think that's something that trump probably appreciates also you have ken starr who was from the late ninety's where you're well known in washington d.c. as you mentioned briefly he was the independent counsel that helped to prosecute or bring the trial impeachment trial against the then president bill clinton and so i think starr is very well known t

and was part of the legal team for the convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein as well as also the harvard law school professor alan dershowitz whose clients included former football o.j. simpson move producer harvey weinstein and he also represented geoffrey epstein has more from deborah was on the our correspondent in washington who tells us how president is not taking any chances with this legal team. trump is taking this very very seriously i mean these 2 lawyers that he brought in to be part of this team are celebrity or lawyers that are very very well known in washington and have a long history in this city and really in the nation 1st looking alan dershowitz a long time a law professor at harvard he's considered one of the preeminent constitutional lawyers in the u.s. dershowitz is actually a democrat voted for hillary clinton however he has come out very strongly over the last 3 to 4 months or so before that saying that he believes that this impeachment trial is something that should not be pursued constitutionally and that there are no high crimes and so-called misdemeanors and so

the friendship i had with him was the same friendship i had with my friend at harvard. i never even knew he had a brother. we never discussed anything personal. i didn't know if he had living parents, i didn't know his friends. i just knew we were academic colleagues much the way i would have an academic friendship with anybody else or other faculty. so i'm fighting back. it's a tough struggle. we live in the age of me to. the woman may have been abused by jeffrey epstein. they may say she's been treated so terribly. maybe we should hold him responsible. why should we rule against her? it would be a terrible thing. when you're fighting in the age of me to but i will fight. i will fight for my reputation. 50% of our my clients have been pro bono cases. i represent it people on death row. now unrepresented a lot of people, and representing a wom woman, half israeli, half american who was arrested in russia going to the transit area at the moscow airport they find 9 grams of marijuana in her luggage. they sent her to seven and a half years in prison. i'm trying to help her

professor bowie who is a professor at harvard takes my view. read his article, jeffrey.'t makeup stories about every professor. read professor bowie's argument in the law review where he quotes with approval justice curtis's -- please withdraw that argument that no professor has said it. so you're saying professor bowie doesn't exist. you did say everyone. virtually every law professor. now you're saying you're wrong, okay. so now you're admitting you're wrong. >> i'm admitting that it's not every single law professor. >> we all improve and change our views when we focus more on the issue. and i focus more on the issue. and i now completely am convinced that the issue requires that -- >> justice curtis was not in a supreme court argument. he was making an argument to the senate. >> that's right. >> and the point that you -- i don't know what criminal-like behavior is. you keep talking about -- >> i'll tell you what it is. >> let me finish. the idea that you can only impeach a president for criminal or criminal-like behavior is absurd on its face. think about some example
