. >> for those that are not familiar with is the uniqueness of hillsdale college? >> guest: we don't take any money from the government direct. all that stuff is private. as it was fo for a free colleger most of our history which goes back to 1844, we think that's good because we think higher learning is to be done by people that really want it because it isn't easy to get. and with lots of learning its noble that everybody should get, but the highest kind of learning is the sacrifice, and you have to want to make that. so that's unique, not money from the government, but the college has always been a freedom loving government but helped us out in the party and had a big part in the civil war and is always rallied to the country's war and thought the constitution and always had a huge history just the largest department in the college right now. so there is that. the college is interested in the christian faith. that's interesting because they always believed in the religious freedom in the line of the articles found in articles association of the college into so we

firing archives in california and i relied on synopsis and transcription of episodes and also hillsdale college has the complete works of buckley, jr., each column and pdf form so you can actually see the typed manuscript that went off to newspapers and their introductions in the one for eisenhower, for example, where it says, if eisenhower has not yet died by date x, run this, if he has died, please correct paragraph 3 or so where he's speaking in a different intent. in fact, for alister cook who was a great towering literary figure and a friend of buckley for 30 years, he wrote three eulogies and obituaries and one of them before cook died and he sent it to alister cook who returned it to buckley unopen and unread.

i would suggest to their ceos if they asked me why don't you go to a place like hillsdale college which has got very high test scores these days, they've been rising, it's got a conservative curriculum. why don't you go recruit there and other places like that where you might get some diversity of ideas among your staff. trish: i've got to hand it, though, to tim cook, the ceo of apple, in that he takes a lot of meetings that you wouldn't think that he'd maybe take a meeting with. you think back to the investment that carl icahn made in apple, and tim cook went and had dinner with him, michael block, and carl was very inflynn usual in terms of getting them to buy back more stock. investors certainly liked it. and now he's there in trump tower meeting with the president-elect of the unite. in other words, tim cook is a smart guy. he knows where his bread is buttered, and he knows he's going to have to get along with the president-elect. it's not suitable, it's not right for someone like him to boycott these discussions. just like it wasn't suitable if he were to boycott carl icahn. >> ri
