but apparently not at harvard. week, the university released a 130-page report acknowledging that during the 17th and 18th centuries, the schools leaders, faculty, and staff enslaved more than 70 natives and africans. the report lists the names of the men, women, and children who served as presidents, and students, examining how one of the world's prestigious institutions was entangled with one of history's most egregious acts. and how much wealth the school, and its donors, accumulated from the slave trade across the south and caribbean. >> i did not know the stories that were hidden in the walls around this campus. >> you think of harvard as this quintessential perfect place with ivy along the walls. but as you learn its history, you think about some of the ugliness that went into both of these buildings. this history is all around us. in a way that we live, in this landscape of in slavery. >> this landmark report that says slavery quote, powerfully shaped harvard, does not just detail a dark history, it offers r

harvard university donated the land of the arboretum um, the director ned always makes a joke. so i'll just echo ned and say it's the probably the first and last time harvard ever gave anything away in any case harvard donated the land to the city to have an incorporated into the developing boston park system and to open for the public. for public enjoyment and for education to make education public and in turn the city least the land back to the arboretum for the purposes of research and education and committed itself. to managing for public use the grounds through construction and maintenance of roads walls fences gates and to some extent sufficient security and it's probably less known to many of our guests that the arnold arboretum doesn't receive funding of any kind from harvard university. so the the fact that you know since this inception of an incredibly unique space, you know having you know 188 1879 or so was the original design all the way up until 2022 is truly a testament to the to that relationship building that homestead and sergeant developed. thank you. rosanna

what did harvard do? harvard said no. the value is still $50,000, even though it's zoom. you know what the market said, i don't think this is workle. harvard sitting on $40 million in endowment. you have got five organization. you have got the institutions and colleges, the government, the students, the parents. who gets shafted? students and the parents are getting hurt. the institution is loving it because they are cashing checks. the government got involved when they started sally mae. but people are starting to realize they are making the adjustments. capitalism works, and the bullies will pay the biggest price. dan: thanks for sharing your stories. coming up, biden's ministry of truth that is supposed to tackle misinformation. former gop congressman devin nunes joins us. >> i think you have got no idea what disinformation is. dan: you know the ministry of truth the biden administration created to fight disinformation. they can't even define what it is. >> do we have policies and guardrails. >> here is the problem, we can't agree on what disinformation is. you can't i

were going to offer to president jackson and honorary harvard degree. john quincy adams almost had a fifth, he wrote to the president of harvard saying you cannot do this, it will sell the reputation of my alma mater. but, the occasion went forward, there were the centers on the faculty. they decided, okay, we cannot stop this, we will show jackson up. in those days it was not unheard of for academics to deliver their papers in latin. their traditional language of intellectuals and the academy. and, so without telling the president who was basically with the reputation on the line. there was a commencement and several occasions. the speaker before jackson. they gave their speeches in latin, with the belief that this would really follow next jackson. he obviously would not know what was happening, they would be so embarrassed that he would be humiliated and show up. now, as i say, with explaining these historical stories. context is necessary. . jackson was holding the union together by force. jackson was asserting, know the union was central and the uni

i would agree, i mean i, i was as a young student at harvard, i was involved in harvard divestment campaign. and in now, you know, we are trying for a long time. and, and the other thing you learn from that struggles, it takes a while, you know, it doesn't happen over night. you have to keep building the pressure and you have to keep transferring it. but my, my alma mater harvard, did divest in fossil fuels or is beginning that process. no such luck for long time on south africa. you know. and so you see changes happening and i, and you know, i, i, i have to take a lot of good heart from the privilege of my experience with, with, with south africa n, e, n, c, and the, and the, and the movement there. so take heart takes awhile, maybe the one last thing i would add is the critical importance of ensuring that our resistance to the fossil fuel in the sea and other industries that are driving us to climate destruction needs to be peaceful. i think that though are people in certain governments and in certain industries that are banking on the anger and the disappointment that young people and ot

and he wrote to the president off harvard, saying, you can't do this! it was only the reputation of my dear alma mater. but the occasion went forward. there were dissenters on the faculty, and they decided, oh, okay, we can't stop this. but we will show jackson up. in those days, it was not unheard of, and it was still accepted practice on certain occasions, for academics to give their addresses, to deliver their papers, in latin. their traditional language of intellectuals and the academy. and so, without telling the president of the university, who was, you know, basically whose reputation was online here, what they were going to do, said, okay, i'll be happy to speak on this occasion. and it was a commencement, and so there were several speeches. and the speakers before jackson stood up and gave their speeches in latin. with the belief that this would really flummoxed jackson. he obviously would not know what was happening. and be so embarrassed that we he would be humming mandate and be shown up and that would be the end of it. now, as i say, with e

places like harvard are private institutions. students receive, take out and borrow student loans that are taxpayer subsidized. a portion of that is coming from -- large endowments that are out there, we have to make the case places like harvard with these massive endowments that they are supporting students with lower tuitions it is one more reason we should reconsider this taxpayer investment in higher education and enable universities to increase tuition. to continue every single year to ask the taxpayer for more money. host: they gained 11 billion bringing their total endowment to 63 billion. it is 33.6 return was outperformed by endowments at other iv schools. m.i.t., michigan and usc. have you paid off your student loans? caller: i want my money back. i paid for 26 years on my daughters. paying off the loan, i think it was $400 a month. i went bankrupt. before my bankruptcy, i took out my 401(k) to pay for school for my daughter and then i find out that the 401(k) is protected, i should not of taken it out because bankruptc

a series soon, a nasa einstein fellow at the harvard and smithsonian center for astrophysics. and i asked, or just how significant this breakthrough is. and so it's a big day for us. it's the 2nd image of a black hole after we revealed the 1st image back in 2019, which was the black hole at the center of the em, 87 galaxy that is 55000000 light years away from us. but today we're seeing the black hole in our own backyard, basically at the center of our milky way galaxy. and this black will image is kind of amazing because we've been studying the cycle for a long time. and the story of building the e t was to chase this image, this image of sad to terrorist a star. and it feels like the combination of the efforts of so many people. it's such an exciting day. i imagine how difficult was it to produce this image. it was very difficult said if i gave us a lot of headaches for the past 2 years, compared to am 87. it's a much smaller black hole. it's over a 1000 times smaller than m $87.00. and so the gas around it takes less time to go around. so gas that would take days or weeks t

earlier i spoke to benjamin l. schmidt, a research associate at harvard university and former european energy security advisor at the us state department. i asked him about the significance of this embargo. i think it's very significant, i think is the major step that had to be taken right now. couldn't be taken amy later and it really should have been taken sooner. this is a partial oil band. it's something that we were hoping to see really right out of the gates after the re invasion of ukraine by russia start at the end of february. but i'm glad that we've seen this now and seen at least partial unity on this. but this is only one step, you know, this is, this is 2 thirds of the oil traffic that's going into the u, as i understand it, roughly all of the, the maritime trade of oil and oil products will be cut off. but there's still 2 major pipelines, one going to germany in one going to hungry in central and eastern europe to respond north and south that need to be cut off. and really we need to get to a point where the natural gas is, is ended as well, because every minute that, tha

he carried that project with him from harvard to the university of virginia. he thought that, well, while we are taping the missile crisis tapes, that's great! 13 days or so. let's see if we can take the entire corpus of kennedy materials and stretch again to 260 hours. let's go further and try to transcribe all of the presidents who taped. the presidential recording program began at 98 in the miller center. we've been going strong for 24 years now. at the end of the conversation here i will give you a better sense of how you can access these materials yourself. what i want to play some tape for you and give you a sense of what is on them. we are going to jump from kennedy, to johnson, to nixon. we'll see how many i can get through before we turn to a q&a. i know that there will be a lot of questions about this. let's start with jfk. it is a tape that is important for me for my work i've just continued a manuscript on kennedy in vietnam the focus not necessarily on a comprehensive, soup to nuts, kennedy in vietnam those narratives are out there. they are worth

geoffrey yu with an important note on the plaza accord sites harvard university. frankel of harvard has been definitive on trying to figure out the definition of a recession. with all that you read, do you ascribe two negative quarters of gdp is a recession? michael: that is not the nbr. that is a technical definition that appears in some textbooks. the nbr looks at consumer spending and business spending and it has to be a generalized decline in economic activity over a time to declare a recession. this is why they wait a long time to say we are in one or not because they need to get all the revised figures together to find out if we have had that kind of decline. there is no way we are in one right now. there's no reason to think we could not go into one. we are not likely to according to the latest numbers we are getting. right now we are not anticipating this quarter will be a negative quarter, either. lisa: this is a positive downside surprised. you want fewer jobless claims. or perhaps not. have we gotten back to good news being bad news? i am looking at som

y en los colegios, este, siguen adelante, y tienen doctorados, como yo tengo doctorado, yo fui a harvardo, y las mujeres, hay más mujeres que hombres es este tiempo, y por esa razón las mujeres van a tener, van a seguir teniendo un papel importante en preservar la historia y la cultura mexicana aquí. damián trujillo: y es un sonido distinto, ¿verdad?, porque tocan mariachi, bueno, ya hemos escuchado a las, las mismas canciones en el mismo sonido, pero llega una, una mujer, una señorita, una señora, a cantar, o a tocar, es diferente, como, "ah, mira, están, ahora le toca a la dama", y es un sonido, bueno, emocional. leonor pérez: es emocional, es romántico, es lindo, y este, las mujeres tocan trompetas también, tocan guitarrón, vihuela, y cuando tocan no más los sones, vamos a decir, o las polcas, uno no sabe si está escuchando mujeres u hombres, pero cuando cantan en los coros, sí, las voces son un poco más altas, y por esa razón han, han comenzado a formar un sonido un poquito diferente. damián trujillo: ¿y por qué usted decidió, no solamente, "bueno, yo voy a formar un mariachi femenil

all he did was win the game for you now coaches at harvard and now coaches at harvard which is sort ofappropriate isn't it? but and by the way, one of my favorite stories is tommy they play mit every year in their opening game. usually they're opening game because their schools are like a mile apart and the amit students come to harvard and when the harvard players are introduced they can't safety school. yeah. which i think is great. but yes, we do need to get that perception it you know, the old saying perception is reality. unfortunately. yeah people believe perception to be reality and it's like when idiots like what's your name on fox news on blocking on her name right now say shut up and dribble. there are people listening to her. and and and most of the time lebron james makes sense. he's not always right. none of us are but you know the notion that because you play ball or because you're black or worse both you can't have opinions on things. you know, how many times have you i know it happens to me all the time. people say stick to sports. well you it's politics have been a par
