as a harvard student, i went with friends to events at harvard hillel.hroughout my life, the importance of the state of israel was clear. a shining beacon of freedom and civilization in the middle east and intrinsically entwined with the success of america. i've had the privilege to visit israel many times throughout my life, both before and during my time in congress. and each and every time, i have been truly moved by israel and her spirit. today, it is more important than ever that the united states of america shows moral leadership and stands with israel and the jewish people. [applause] under president trump, there will be no daylight when it comes to the united states' support for israel. there is a reason that prime minister netanyahu calls him, quote, "the best friend that israel has ever had." we know here today that the horrors of october 7 changed everything. it made crystal clear that this fight is not just israel's fight alone but the west's fight, a fight against the evil of hamas, a war between good and people, civilization and barbarity.

facing down the presidents of penn, harvard and mit. she grilled these leaders. [applause] and interrogated them in the public interest because not one of these individuals was willing to states unambiguously it is wrong to call for the genocide of the jewish people on their campuses. because of the spotlight she helped to shine on these institutions, two of those university presidents subsequently resigned. you also may remember our next speaker for another hearing in which that will during ambiguity of the president of my alma mater northwestern university andnt the face anti-semitism report cards asking how an f was acceptable in america? in both cases, congress who worked closely with adl and with her and her team specifically behind the scenes, sharing information, alerting them to problems and doing what we could do together for anti-semitism. let me tell you from personal experience, she may have been one of the busiest people on capitol hill but she answers every text. she replies to every e e-mail ad takes every call once confirmed by the u.s. senate, sh

i loved harvard. >> he went back and forth, but finally dropped out of harvard his junior year.rosoft wasn't the only new company focused on personal computers. they quickly ran into others jockeying for position in this new world. like steve jobs and steve wozniak, who'd founded a small company in 1976 called apple. but they were focused on hardware, making the actual computers. >> when we move out to albuquerque, we're driving around creating computer clubs, and one of those that actually was one of the few that that was there before we got there was called the homebrew computer club. and that's where wozniak is showing a thing called the apple one. there were only a few of those ever made. at one point he was going to write a full blown basic, but he never got around to it, so they ended up buying, uh, the microsoft basic. >> the apple two was part of the so-called 1977 trinity. three of the very first personal computers to hit the market. >> the radio shack, the commodore and the apple two, the three big personal computers all had microsoft basic built built into them. >> th

okay, so i want to ask you, you know, you're a college student at harvard.ou know, as you said, eddie kind of grew up towards the end of fresh off the boat. but, you know, in many ways, i was kind of like the last place people would think someone like eddie would end up. but here you are with your dad. how has it been like for you there? like, are you you know, despite what people might think of you from the show, are you enjoying the academic journey? >> gosh, you know, one thing is like, i didn't go to a normal school growing up because i was always working. i did school out of a trailer that was about the size of this room, actually. so not too far from home. but studying for me, as you were saying earlier, is was a real slap in the face. but all in all, it's been great. you know, i've met a lot of really, really amazing people who have helped me grow as a person, as a chef, as an actor. i found my passions again for a lot of things here, i think. but beyond education, harvard really is a place for someone to discover themselves and grow. and it's done th

and then my mom gave me, she signed the loan papers, for me to go to harvard law school. initially she refused. because when i told her how much, she said, sylvester, i can't do that. and i reminded my mom, you always told us that we could be whatever the good lord would have us to be. i told my mom, i said, dad is not here. you are. my mom and my dad. three days later, she signed the papers. and it was my mom and my brother who took m to the airport, a one-way ticket, and i went to harvard, sight unseen, and my mom said, i wish we could go. can't afford to go. but we'll see you at christmas time. take god with you and do your best. so here i am. from two parents that didn't graduate from high school, i've gone to the best schools in the country. i've been -- and because of that education, a lawyer for over 40 years, came out of one of the best law films in the country and now state representative, a mayor, and who would have thought, been in the halls of congress. i can only imagine what my mom and dad would be saying. they made one hell of an investment. in their childr

if you can comment on the latest harvard poll, i would appreciate that. president trump: i'm honored. it's a poll that usually leans on other side of things, the other side of the world so to speak. but the harvard poll is a respective poll and not only leading but leading by a lot on every single issue we've talked about. and as i've said, we've become the party of common sense and think it's a very important element now, common sense. because what's happening in the world and even in this country, some of the things that took place, many of them are now canceled and the rest of being canceled as we speak. we've moved very rapidly and i think very effectively so i was honored by that poll. thanks very much. appreciate it. president trump: please, go ahead. reporter: mr. president, you said before you would like to see russia -- [inaudible] president trump: i think the meeting in saudi arabia was a fantastic one. we met with the crown prince who is a fantastic young guy. he's young but with great imagination and tremendously respected all over the world.

i'm going to use this democratic poll, harvard harris poll, it's almost 80% popular going after waste and cutting the number used in the pole cutting $1 trillion out from under the federal budget. this is does on steroids. this could be does is it cuts, it could be diffidence, it could be paid ounce but it seems like no matter what the democrats say attacking elon musk, the country is in favor of it. >> the country is in favor, the democrats are looking for a bohemian. they are doing this because some of their pet projects brought into the bureaucracy are now being found in cut. these are things not in the national interest, they might be in the democrats ideological interests but they do not support america or the american citizen and that's why they are set but we are not going to stop, president trump is leading on this issue and the american people supported. >> you know what else popular? he mentioned how the border has been cleaned up. deportation like the tom homan operation. trump just said boo and eagles stopped coming over the border basically. now deportation looks to be po

thank you so much, harvard bookstore, for hosting this event. i think these conversations are so important, especially to have in person and community especially today. so congratulations, pagan this book is truly a marvel. it is both fascinating personal, eye opening and incredibly well-researched. the title the secret of the rape kit i wanted just to talk about the kit itself and what made it so and what marty goddard do to bring that revolution in. yeah, well, i could just start with one thing i've learned. sorry. i'm getting a flu and i did a live interview today on radio and i just coughed the entire time. i just hacked. it was horrible. and anyway, so i'm hoping i won't do that to you guys. but i also wanted to just say i'm just so thrilled to be here in this room with so many of my people, favorite people in the world. so it's really just does my heart good. but you know what i've discovered is everybody kind of knows of the rape kit and, but very few people who have not directly dealt with it actually knows what it is. and what's interes

harvard, which was the school at the center of the litigation, also saw big changes.y a lot of schools that this did happen. >> now today more interesting part of the weirdness, which is those elite schools where there was not this fall off what explained that? >> that's led to these dueling theories. one is that universities are able to maintain racial demographics without explicitly considering race, and the other is that they aren't following either the letter or spirit of the supreme court ruling. >> let's go to the possibility of cheating. that is essentially -- what is the argument and who is making it? >> the argument is that none of these other explanations fully explain how the universities got the results, because they haven't been shown to get rid of legacy admissions or these donor preferences, and because they aren't allowed to just give advantages, say, to an african american student who writes about overcoming adversity. they'd also have to give it to an asian student who work right about that expense. their argument is that the universities haven't ask

>> the harvard. >> poll that came out. >> had you up nine plus points. >> and all of your. >> agenda that. >> you ran on. you're accomplishing that. you've got the support of the american people, including stopping the. war in ukraine. if you can comment. >> on the latest harvard poll that. >> just came. >> in. >> somebody said, i said, this was sent in by a fan. i know him well. he's sort of a stiff. i said, you're brian, you're not a stiff. he's sort of a stiff. >> i always. >> say yes to. >> the president. >> meanwhile, the president is also trying to intimidate those who don't play along. and you can see clearly there what he thinks press or journalism should look like. i mean, he just wants it to be promotional, sneaking, a kind of a trump advertisement into these questions from people who are perhaps paying to play in various ways, or at least get in a red hat out of it. but donald trump's fcc is calling for probes or beginning probes of top news outlets. and we can mention that includes our sister channel, nbc, as well as these other outlets, npr and pbs tied to government fun

something seriously wrong with these people and i will tell you something, donald trump, look at the harvard harris poll that just came out, 59% of the country thinks donald trump is doing a better job than joe biden was so they had four years to run the country and ran it into the ground and the american people after throwing donald trump out of the white house brought him back and there approval in the harvard harris poll is 36%. last night, they had a meeting beforehand and said how can we drive it down even further. what can we possibly do to alienate more americans and they did it and implemented it seamlessly. stuart: they did indeed. thanks for joining us, see you again soon. staying on the address several democrats posted rebuttals to the president's speech, who are we talking about and what did they say? ashley: senator alyssa slotkin had the official rebuttal but she was just one among many more and it was the usual rhetoric overall, trump is driving up prices while filling the pockets of his billionaire friends, tariffs are going to torpedo the economy and democracy is under threa

my name is adam, i'm a sophomore here at harvard. i want to ask you, kind of similar to the first question, just about, i guess maybe the time one anecdote you found was particularly challenging about the three-week period between the debate against president trump that president biden had and when he dropped out. one particularly challenging moment, or if you think that the president should have dropped out earlier or if you think that he should have ran at all? >> so just your last question first. he's the president of the united states at the time. he was the leader of the democratic party, it was truly his decision to make on what he wanted to do. and i supported that 100%. whatever it was i was going to support that 100% because he had the right to as the leader of the democratic party, coming out of a pretty successful midterms. there was supposed to be a red wave, there wasn't a red waive. one of the reasons what we were able to do and how the democrats, whether in their congressional house seats or in the states, were able to

you know, i knew that they had been at harvard law together.me level, she was more impressive, but they were equals, you know? -they were equals? -absolutely. that's interesting, because most americans, if they even know of eliot spitzer's wife silda, they think of her as just the wronged woman at that press conference. -yeah. and you're saying there's so much more to her. yeah. she was really protective of their girls, and to a certain extent had to sacrifice what was a really successful legal career in order for him to sort of be the star. it's not what she had hoped for in her life. that sacrifice was nothing compared to what she'd face 10 years later as the wife of a scandal-plagued politician. but in 1998, with her full support, eliot ran for ag again and won. i'm honored to be here as i declare victory of what has been a long race. we will begin a process of creating in the attorney general's office the pre-eminent public interest law firm in the country. what was different about eliot is that he expanded the jurisdiction of the attorney

. >> larry: did you see and i agree with you, emily, but the latest mark penn harvard poll, the bestposter i think far and away and he's an honest guy. so you look at these numbers, 81% of the country favors deportation, 76% favor eliminating fraud, waste, in the government. 69% want to cut the budget by $1 trillion without any tax increases. as far as the democrats going, they have the lowest number -- the democratic approval in this ball is 36% according to mark penn. that is the lowest they have ever had in the history of the polling. >> harris: you give me an idea, the democrats want to bring people to say trump's policies are affecting them negatively. the list might be quite long if you can find guests to bring who they like the pressure has been taken off of local enforcement because they have some backstop now with working with i.c.e. in certain communities. maybe crime has started to take down emily no triple to almost zero chance at the border. border states like texas overrun by thousands of people at one point. you can play that game too but it's not a game that you can b

this is a harvard harris poll. want ukraine to negotiate a settlement to end this war? so if the media thinks there's this groundswell of support for zelensky and this war, they're completely disconnected from the public again. and by the way, would it kills zelensky to wear a suit when he goes to the oval office? this guy looked like he was about to go raise the roof at a discotheque in budapest. you know, show some respect, please. >> well, i mean, i brought up the point earlier. good point. i understand that's the least of my worries, the clothes that he's wearing into the oval office. but i will tell you that harvard-harris poll dead on accurate. the american people don't want this. and here is the miscalculation. i think clay on on zelensky's part. he thinks he's holding cards. he said, i'm not playing cards. he has no cards to hold. and without the us and basically biden giving, giving him so much money that it evolved into a proxy war with the us and russia. donald trump is trying to put an end to it, save lives, help them rebuild their country by doing a busines
