>> so i know that ivywise implies that you're helping children or kids get into ivy league or ivy leagueivy league schools still worth it, you think, considering that the students would be qualified, let's say that mother or father has an a student at their house. is that still worth it? going to a big name school is that is their roi, as you said on that? >> i mean, again, it comes down to a family's priority structure in my opinion. so although ivy is in our name, i think that we see a great breadth in school type where our students matriculate. right? some of them are going for the most highly selective the ivy, stanford and mit by extension, that ivy plus consortium. and i think if a if a student is brand conscious, then i want to be supportive of that. however, i also think that there are these undiscovered or underrated schools that might still well position a student for whatever their academic and social trajectory ends up being. so it really comes down to brand and access. if there is a particular goal in mind where an ivy league school might create a better pathway and those pi

i'm thinking in particular are of ivy league universities where anti-semitic and remain so prominent. look, we've got to do both and in many ways our universities are worse. so let me break them down. let's take them one at a time. you know for a long time there was a received in washington when it comes to foreign policy and in particular the middle east israel and the palestinians and it that that we should a studied and deliberate ambiguous and sadly this was the view of of all democrat votes and an awful lot of republicans that what you say with one hand that you agree with israel a little bit and then you say about palestinians and a little bit this and a little bit of that and. that was the enlightened view of washington. i have always that was misguided. victoria always thought that it's misguided. clarity is. if you go to the trump administration the two most important foreign policy decisions believe in the entire four years of the first term were one moving the american embassy in israel to jerusalem. and number two, pulling out of iran nuclear deal. now, both of those decis

he is someone who, unlike many of our presidents, didn't attend an ivy league university, who attended comes from a very middle class to lower middle class background in terms of his financial situation, and whose empathy, i think, comes both out of his own personal tragedies throughout his life, and also his just connection with the kinds of people that make up the majority of americans. and yet he's always been very ambitious and always had, well, what we would call in scotland a good conceit of himself, he's always been, always been sure of himself, shall we say? yes, he has, yes. and pretty determined to be president and convinced that, you know, he had some kind of unique qualities that would make him a wonderful president. the first time people started talking aboutjoe biden running for president, i think, was in 1984, and this was... well, he himself said he considered challenging jimmy carter for the nomination in 1980. ini980, so... but people really started talking about him as a potentially serious candidate in 1984, and there wasn't an election cycle after that where he was

it was a school known for its academics and kids going to ivy league schools more than for producing superstar basketball players. [cheering] they hadn't won a state championship since 1943. [cheering] and when i started to talk to the team, i said, i'm here to help you win championships. and as i said that word, i could see kobe kind of sit up. i locked eyes with him, and we had his attention then. [cheering] he wrote a contract to himself. i'm going to work out with weights in the morning. i'm going to do my basketball stuff in the afternoon. he's the first one in practice. and every single practice, he was 110%. 1,000 jump shots a day. [cheers, applause] every single practice, when he played offense, he was going to attack you every time he got the ball. like, every time he got the ball, doing suicides. you'll have guys that are the best on the team or the most talented on the team, and they're just like running with the pack. he will full out sprint. and i'm like, what is he doing? he had a contract with himself, and he's not going to break that contract. i grew up in west philad

they are not ivy league graduates or fortune 500 companies. this is main street. that is the natural progression for the republican party. the third reason for coming out from behind my desk is to make sure that constituency gets bigger and bigger. reihan: you painted a pretty bleak picture of biden's economic agenda. i think that he would say my agenda has been a historic success. labor markets are tight, the inflation reduction act and chip act are spurring investment. while the president acknowledges inflation has been a challenge he would argue that the worst is behind us. let's drill in a bit about where you think that a second bite intern will take the country economically. again, what the president is saying is that this course is delivering, ultimately, wage growth. it will help us compete with china and what have you. when you are looking ahead to another four years of president biden, where do you see the u.s. economy at the end of that? scott: back to what we said in one of the earlier panels, he is giving away so much money. why are the programs so unp

you watch ivy league universities that have been going wait far to the left that american public hasde us from a policy level, he can sustain and put america back on a track the next century could be hours. think about what he is doing. he springing the brightest people together. they may have oppose him at one time but this is a moment in time like world war ii. we have to have this manhattan project and others. how do we do things different with china trying to compete and partnering with russia, iran? this is a moment in time when america not only wakes up in the next century but it stabilizes. think about when it was reagan, thatcher and the pope. the redirection of the world he was able to create with the three of them. i feel that this is a moment trump has that. from an ai quantum. you think securing the border to make safer again economically were going off to a path of this debt is probably our greatest threat can put his back to a new direction. i am so excited by this. his strong leadership could steer the house and senate when they went to get off on different tangents an

ivy league schools are known for teaching you a lot of things. okay. year, we never knew that they taught camping. they called it the gaza solidarity encampment. and they said it was pro-palestinian, but it was definitely anti-israel. there was no question about that. before long, encampments were established all over the country in arizona, penn state. it was tolerated and it was allowed, which means when you tolerate nonsense, you get more of it. by that time, you also knew it wasn't just students protesting. this was really quite organized. the protest made their demands. they want the campuses to take all of their money out of israel. when you're a student at a university, you're not allowed to pick who they're invested with. you don't run the university. you little snot nosed little **** from the river to the sea palastine will be free just watching the heartbreaking interviews of the jewish students who were just trying to get to class every day. you had students who were denied access to public places like the library. if they were zionist. i wa

. >> hard core admissions in the country and ivy league colleges that try to weed out the underperformersskilled immigration in the country. we're just not doing it right right now. right now what we need to do is start testing people to come in. if you scored 95% or higher on the gres, come on over. if you score below, we want the highest achievers in the world coming but not the middle ground people competing with americans. larry: i agree. we don't need accountants and -- the program needs reforming. it's a good idea. john carney, taylor riggs. catch taylor with brian brenberg and jackie deangeles on the big money show weekdays 1:00 p.m. eastern every day here on fabulous fox business. coming up next here on kudlow, how many isis or al-qaida cells are actually operating in america right now? that's the important question today. we'll ask former secretary of state mike pompeo when kudlow returns. this is our future, ma. godaddy airo. creates a logo, website, even social posts... in minutes! -how? -a.i.
