this is a picture of young franklin roosevelt at harvard. he graduated with less than honors, but he contributed. lincoln, i will say, always said he learned by little. only a year of school altogether from itinerant school teachers. lincoln famously said, if they know reading, writing, and ciphering to the rule of three they were looked on as a genius. a wizard, actually. roosevelt, very formal, groomed to leadership. tell us about roosevelt schooling. >> one critical difference between the two is that lincoln was so desperate for learning. he clawed for it, he craved it. whenever he could find a book, he treated it as a precious objects. it meant so much to him. roosevelt, of course, had every opportunity. he was, one commonality, is he was what we would call today home schooled until he was 14. but then he went to groton preparatory school. at the time, that was the top prep school for the well to do. he studied under endicott p body, and if there is a connection in terms of his later life, it may be that endicott p body stressed that it

they were educated at harvard, yale and dz delete universities. when we talk about harvard today , we talk about loan forgiveness and these loans cannot be discharged through bankruptcy. even though people use bankruptcy, you cannot discharge federal student loans through bankruptcy. when we talk about the initial offering from the administration, the current administration for loan forgiveness, i would like to see these large endowments and billion-dollar endowments match that also in loan forgiveness. use those for scholarship and fellowships. help college students and utilize those large endowments for the enhancement of diversity at these universities. their end have --there endowments are on the back of slavery. host: a call from toledo. good morning. caller: i would like to remind these republicans that -- made national news for being murdered, looking for -- [indiscernible] the president of the u.s. at the time was donald trump, so the republicans and democrats --thank you very much. host: let's go to james calling from texas on the republi
