at, middlebury.e students shouting down, interfering with freedom of speech. a university is conversation. in my six years i'm convinced that is the university at its best. it is place where be robust conversation and students to be challenged. my second point is, relationship between faculty and student is precious and needs to be preserved. higher education needs to do everything it can to sanction that relationship and foster that relationship. that means online learning has its place but it is no substitute for that basic relationship. stuart: to be specific, there is a lot of criticism which says the baylor football program should have been closed down because of what was going on in it for some years. your comment, sir. >> i have a totally different perspective. the football team was a very fine group of young men. there were one or two or three issues. those issues have been, i believe fully addressed. i believe the university continues to be a safe place. it is always been a safe place. and w

i just don't think that was very representative of middlebury community at all because the majority of people in who have different points of view, otherwise you're not going to wind up knowing what the world is like, right? >> i think that is absolutely right. i think that conservatives have a responsibility to bring people to liberal campuses to help participate in sharing their viewpoints. so it contributes to learning. steve: all right. a petition has been circulated. it looks like things may change. good enough. phillip, thank you very much for joining us via skype today. >> thank you for having me. steve: there you go. next up on the run-down, so what will it take to get congressman jim jordan on board with the new republican health care plan? we're going to talk to him live next. but first look likes like shannon bream got a shovel and found her way to work today. >> i sure did, steve. we have more live team coverage of the snow. it continues to roll in across the northeast. plus republicans at odds as democrats say the cbo dire estimate of repealing and replacing obamacare prov
