that i can tell you. >> bill kristol, first thing i thought is abe lincoln is dead. >> presumably. >> some -- >> yeah. >> but seriously, this idea that anthony scaramucci and corey lewandowski who's been around a lot, i understand that his contact with the president has never really diminished but he's been on the plane this week, this idea that the president wants to reassemble the band there's a spirit of let trump be trump he's not in a situation he has because he hasn't let himself speak freely on twitter and other ways, but he is more off the rails. >> scaramucci was widely received, and he's more fluid than sean spicer. spicer is glad he doesn't have to do the briefing today and defend this craziness. i think scaramucci will be worse for trump because he's more like trump. he is cocky and he'll say things that are not true. i come back to the transgender thing. i'm so infuriated by it. because there are questions about women in combat, paying for certain operations. those are debated, i would say very seriously and in a dignified way over the last six, seven, eight years. don't

lou: kristol decide it's a third worldization. i don't quite get the third world reference. stevens column in the "new york times." it's an anti-intellectual. scaramucci goes to harvard but he's italian and there are issues regarding that. it was remarkable. but giuliani being the mayor of new york then running for president? there is still an issue. lou: resurrected bigotry in america. tammy: anti-intellectualism. you didn't go to the right schools or you just like donald trump. that's the new dynamic that sets you apart. there must be something wrong. lou: you think bret stevens has a snooty establishment way about it? tammy: these individual, they like having the dynamic they enjoyed and they don't want to share it. fred: i'm not going to name any names. but it's certainly out there, and we see it in the so much of the mainstream media that wants to do something that has never been done by the press, and that is to drive donald trump out of office. lou: i think we can be even more inelegant than we have been to this point. president trump ran against the establishment of

. >> bill kristol, we'll get to what the president said in just a moment., we have some breaking news i want to start with. the head of the office of government ethics, he has resigned. a lot of folks probably don't know him but hi name is walter shaw. he had been quite the outspoken critic of president trump, did not mention the president in his resignation letter. he did write this, though. we have the letter here. "public service is a public trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the constitution, the laws and the ethical principles above private gain." walter schaub says he's done, had six months left on his term. this is a position appointed by the president, confirmed by the senate, and your response. >> well, schaub actually sort of had become a folk hero to a lot of trump opponents. he is a little-known washington bureaucrat but because just about two weeks after the election he started criticizing trump about what he was going to do as far as separating himself from his businesses, and really never let up, he became something of a folk hero

like bill kristol said, i was not leon kass's student at least not in the classroom. i do remember him though from my student days at st. john. he was a very young tutor. seems barely older than the students. i have an image of leon holding forth in the coffee shop at st. john's which still is sort of focal point of the social intellectual life the community. he already had a following of even only being 23 years old or whatever it was. he looked 23 years old. he was a curiosity. here was this medical researcher, trained biochemist and yet he was teaching aristotle. what gives? what was going on there? i wanted to take that as my starting place. i know my assigned topic is patriotism. i will get there. i want to approach the topic from a broad perspective and then circle back to patriotism. there's a number of unifying themes in leon's work. we touch on some of them in the previous sessions. i want to concentrate on one, which i will call various, the recovery of nature. or the vindication of nature or perhaps the rediscovery of nature. what i'm trying to get at with

bill kristol, what was the political calculation here? >> mitch mcconnell was determined to take a shot on the floor, i think it was a mistake. i think it is going to die in three days, i do not think they'll pass anything. >> is there something that you can see, some combination, the kinds of things hugh hewitt was talking about that could bring this to the floor and get a vote that passes? >> hugh is talking about the idea that republicans realize they have to do something about health care. most of the people in congress passing these, their conversations, commercials, all of the pitches made to their individual voters in their districts were making the promise they were going to do something about obamacare. so i think republicans, all republicans are feeling that pressure, and because of that, they're going to be able to broker some sort of deal. whether or not they can pass it is a hard thing for me to wrap my head around mainly because you have someone even like john mccain, came in, had a remarkable moment, walked in, cast his vot

we began in february with bill kristol who spoke about american politics in the age of trump, and yes, he did mention that name. tablewe organized a round on civility and moderation with a group of philosophers and political theorists. we felt that the discussion of charles marries ideas from coming apart would be a good feet. his 2012 analysis highlighted several trends that subsequently led to the victory of donald trump in november of 2016. on ay caught early zeitgeist, a spirit of the age that others have missed and has since been exploited relentlessly by our media. this year, he has been invited to speak on major campuses from middle barry -- from middlebury to villanova. we were happy to work with the students to join our efforts and bring him to bloomington for free. we have no doubt that the controversial nature of his previous work, the bell curve, described by his critics as racists and misogynists which are strong protest. that book made a few controversial claims linking success to cognitive intelligence or a link between race and genetics. some judge this claim to be pos

we brought other people, jonathan israel, bill kristol, and others. here's the interesting thing for our panel. murray's lectures destined our commitment to free speech and anne show many of us believe in free speech only if they agree with their positions. they are ready to censor views with which they disagree and find deplorable, dangerous, or demeaning. they are ready to silence ideas that they find dangerous and that threaten their safe bubbles. and they are ready to discuss stability and engage in which hunts against -- witch-hunts against those who they find disagreeable. one said i be denied a pay raise for 10 years for having invited murray. if some my colleagues failed the free speech test, i was pleased to discover that my undergraduates passed it with flying colors. that's the reason of hope for us today. a sophomore studying law and public policy said this, i can't create effective policy if i refuse to read and listen to opinions of people i disagree with. another one, my student, it was an interesting contrast. dr. murray nuanced analys
