of the hard things about going to the university of florida or going to the university of georgia or lsu or some of these beautiful campuses now is that it remind you of what you couldn't do. i remember making the trip with my wife right after you clerked, to west point, which i have dearly wanted to go to, but there was no way i was going to get an appointment to west point. it's one thing in theory to know that you couldn't go. it's another thing to see the reality of it, to see that beautiful campus overlooking the hudson. it's to go to the university of florida and see those beautiful live oak trees and azaleas and magnolia trees, and know that you could not be there or go to athens. so i think what happened in the late '60s was the realization that no matter how well i did, there was this wall, and that my reaction was not a positive reaction. i was a kid. i was impetuous. so yes, i did become angry. i went off the rails with violent -- caused additional problems taken with my grandfather that no tolerance for that who felt he had not raised me that way, to be angry, to be better, t

we actually did the event at tiger stadium and we had the president of the lsu system, the president of the southern university system, we had our governor john bel edwards, as icwell as members of vice president pence's team talked about reopening schools. both of the system presidents talked about what they are doing to come back to college, talking about their plans to safely reopen. look, this is america, we put a man on the moon, we've stormed the beaches of normandy. we know how to get things done and people sitting in a room going, gee whiz, we can't do it, that's not the attitude we need right now. the real question should be whether or not to do it but how to do it safely and we can do it safely and i'm glad states liken minor moving forward. we need to get every state for theit help and benefit of these children thatee don't need anotr six months of homeschooling. >> congressman jordan, earlier tonight we went through some of the science from germany whiches has done testing on students and teachers. thousands and thousands of tests. none of this decision-makers showing kid

we had the president of the lsu system, president of the southern university system. we had our governor as well as a number of other educators and members of vice president pence's team talking about reopening schools. and we are planning on reopening schools in just a few weeks. both of them talked about what they are doing safely come back to college but i was at a high school earlier today talking about their plans to safely reopen. look, this is america. we put a man on the moon. we stormed the beaches of normandy. we know how to get things done and these people sitting around going "we can't do it." that's not the attitude we need right now. it's not whether or not to do it, but how to do it safely and we can do it safely and i'm glad that states like mine are moving forward. we need to get every state to do it for the health and benefits of the children that don't need another six months of homeschooling. >> laura: congressman jordan, earlier tonight we went through some of the science from germany which has done testing on children and teachers. thousands and

if the lsu doesn't play and fcc doesn't happen then you have got to wonder will the nfl happen.ouple of days, jedediah. jedediah: yeah. and i think there is no question that many people want a return to normalcy. it's incredibly stressful to live life the way we have been living. we have no choice. we are in the midst of a pandemic. it's hard when it comes to schools. when it comes to sports, it begins to build in your psyche. you want to have life the way it was. of course we need to do it safely. that's the challenge, right? every single one of these occurrences is going to require to us look at it. not only that you will have to look at each sport differently and each classroom and each county and each city differently. so it's going to be a really challenging time. i think everyone sitting at home is hungry for life as it was before. that requires personal responsibility too though, right? if you are close to people. that's why doctors are saying wear your masks so this thing can go away and we can go back to that normalcy that we all love so much. steve: one thing about foo

lsu coach coach o is ready to return right now. >> we need to play football for many reasons. first of all, i think the country needs it, i think the state of louisiana needs it, th economy needs it. i think our children need to get back in school and we need to get on the right track and find a way to fight this thing. >> brian: lou holtz is one of the greatest coaches to ever coach college football and he joins us now to talk about this unprecedented time. it's great to see you, i imagine you agree with coach oh, they got to play. >> i don't think they're going to play this year, they are talking about shutting down the university and have courses by internet, there is no way you can have a football program. plus the rules and regulations they have for college football are absurd. there is no way in this world when one player tests positive, exposed to 20 players, they are quarantined quarantine for two weeks. in the nfl, they would test the 20 players immediately and know whether they can play or not. if you look at it, whether you're talking about the economy or sports or

. >> yeah, but, listen, you know -- i was -- i am concerned about that but, you know, i went to lsu,on down there. there's so much money tied up into especially football and college sports. unlike the ivy league. i mean, you really think that's a real possibility considering all that dough that's tied up? >> yeah, it might not be possible to play. remember, these players are not compensated. and i'm not saying that they should be. that's a debate that i think often is discussed too glibly. oh, everybody makes money except the players. a scholarship, if you're really a student athlete, the full scholarship has tremendous value. but in this case, it's worth pointing out that these athletes are not compensated. they do not have unions and protection in that way, like professional athletes do. and now you're asking them to mingle amid the covid-19 situation? i think it's very problematic. >> just moments ago you saw that i spoke with indiana pacers player malcolm brogdon. tested positive for covid. feeling better, as he said. mild symptoms. he's going to play in the nba restart in just a

that took the vice president to the campus of lsu. as you're looking live. here was the vice president from earlier today. >> as director of cdc said not long ago, we don't want federal guidance to be a reason why schools don't reopen. reporter: there was a bit of a reversal though, melissa and connell, from the trump administration within the last hour here. you remember the administration was trying to put a policy in place that international students on college campuses only taking online classes would either have to transfer to another school to take classes in person or potentially leave the country all together. however there was a lawsuit that was brought by harvard and mit. and the administration is now backing off this stance. a win for harvard, mit and those international students. back over here at the white house, next hour or so president trump we believe to talk about china. back to you. connell: watching that very closely, blake, thank you, sir. melissa? melissa: all right. getting back to work. the white house releasing a new ad campaign toda

you majored in construction management at lsu and now you have this business. all of this. but as we focus on what the players want, they want 21 days of training camp because a lot of them, as you said, just aren't in shape just yet. the nfl says i believe two weeks. >> wait, wait, wait. wait. you say right now they want 21 days, the league asked for 14. liz: right. yeah. >> wait, wait. you're talking about the days in training camp, correct? liz: yeah. >> okay. well, when i played we had six weeks of training camp. again, it's like why are they fighting, what's the significance of this fight? if the players want something, give it to them. give it to them. because we have enough stuff that's going on now that's positive and negative and just to have them going and head butting doesn't make sense at the end of the day. liz: do you think we will see the start of the season on the days that they expect to begin play? >> no. i can't see it. i don't see it. i'm from louisiana, so we was in phase two. we was in phase two. i'm over here now, i'm in sunny veg vegas,

schools safely and of course lsu and southern all of our higher ed institutions will be reopening withystems are all working to do the exact same thing. i wish joe biden be more focused on how to do it, not whether or not to do it, because one of the things you've got to look at the american academy of pediatrics just came out with strong guidelines of how to reopen safely, but in that they talk about the damage that was done to students by not being able to be in school those last few months of the last school year, and what damage it would do to students not going back-to-schools safely. again there's no trade-off of safety. it's just let's establish these protocols and then let's go get it done. we put a man on a moon. we can absolutely reopen our schools and we owe it to those kids as over 50 million kids counting on us not to come up with excuses why not to do it , the virus is out there but we also know a lot of good things about how to do it safely and again when people like dr. birx say yes you can do it, you have to do it, we need to go and focus all of our energies on getting

i currently teach at albany law school where fillmore was living and i will be a visitor at lsu in louisianai am the embodiment of the albany-baton rouge accent as well. i would like to say, let's not discount that the mexican war brought us all of the southwest. california, new mexico, etc.. he was the commander-in-chief and acted like it. as it turned out, that is what history has recorded. we greatly expanded the united states during that time. and we got those properties for very little. in terms of the history of real right eye.k professor finkelman: only if you think that going to war with the country to steal half of their country is an appropriate thing to do. and significant numbers of americans believed that the mexican war was purely a land grab and a war of aggression. many americans, including john c calhoun, who was a great defender of slavery, leaved that the mexican war was a mistake because calhoun predicted correctly that he would open up again the question of slavery in the territories. and that would cause a catastrophe, which it does. ms. swain: zachary taylor, a couple
