>> first of all let me comment briefly on harvard. harvard is not only going after conservatives. there were petitions to try to remove my professor emeritus status because i defended president trump on the floor of the senate. there is now a petition signed by 5,000 professors and students at harvard danielle trying to disbar senators cruz and the other senator because they went on the floor of the senate. it's getting worse. if a student today takes the position that i take or the congresswoman takes, their grades will suffer. their recommendations will suffer. we are seeing a kind of mccarthyism permeate a reverse mccarthyism, the exact opposite of what i experience when i was in college in the 1950s, and what the democrats are doing is they are playing theater. they know they can't get a removal of a president. the constitution only empowers congress to impeach and remove a president from office once he's out of office. congress loses jurisdiction. they can't have a trial. first of all, the constitution says the chief justice must -- trial of the president. >> sean: wasn't the

[applause] david: now, in your harvard law school class, you did extremy well, and you got onto the harvard law review. and you were near the top of your class, maybe first or tied for first in your class, but then, when your husband needed to move to new york, you wanted to transfer of the harvard law school didn't think that was such a great idea if you wanted to be a harvard graduate, is that correct? ruth: yes. heh! he said i had to spend my third year at harvard. the reason i didn't was marty was diagnosed with a testicular tumor in his third year of law school. those were early days for cancer cure

college students at harvard, these snowflakes. like dan crenshaw and ted cruz and kayleigh mcenany. >> i question the harvard. they are trying to punish trump supporters. let me be very clear. you can't punish me enough. i'm always going to support president trump. i think they are trying to scare and intimidate trump supporters. 75 million trump supporters are loyal. they are not going to dessert the president. harvard and the left and the media is trying to punish trump supporters. they don't understand it. trump resonates with his supporters. they love him. judge jeanine: tomi, wouldn't you think march regard would say, you idiots. they earned a degree. the fact you don't like it after the fact. >> it's just like big tech and hollywood. they think their only audience is leftist liberals. this is an intimidation tactic. it's not just because they want to revoke the degrees. but it's a clear message to trump supporters at harvard and elsewhere that they should be quite, sit down and shut up. if they have support for the president

what he's doing, tribe and others at harvard are imposing a speech code on harvard students.he calls those views delusional, bonkers, bizarre. i wouldn't want to be a student today at harvard law school with professor tribe as my teacher because i would be afraid that if i took a dissenting, contrary view, my grades would go down, my recommendations would not be forthcoming. i would not get a supreme court clerkship. it is a real problem, what's going on in american universities, and tribe is at the centre of that problem. look, i have spoken out. it has hurt me. i have lost clients as a result. i've lost friends. i've had family members turn against me. yes, i'm prepared to speak out. it's not for my own ego. i care about the constitution. i've been making these arguments for more than 60 yea rs. when i was student government president at brooklyn college, i was a pariah because i stood up against mccarthyism. i stood up against firing communist professors. i was anti—communist personally, but i took a tremendous amount of pain standing up for the rights of communists, stand

every assignment, they would say you are a harvard man, you can do better. clean the toilet again, and again, and again. there were times when i was very tempted to use the broom in ways which they had not anticipated. however, i was honorably discharged as a sergeant of infantry after three years of military service. they awarded me with five battle stars. i said what's that for? i was no hero. i was hiding under a tank, under a truck. they said you landed on the beach of normandy, didn't you? yes, i did. and you went through the line? yes, i went through the line. you went through -- you rossed the rhine driving a jeep? yes. they said, well, all of that, and you did it without getting killed or wounded. that's why we give you the battle stars. in fact, there were very few got five battle stars. many people survive one or two battles. but i survived every major battle of them all. and i was a chief driver. you see a picture of my jeep there. i had painted on there, the line, always alone. i sat by the colonel, they were assigning me to do war crimes work. i
