absolutely david has already recruited two of our close foundation collects in new york to princeton, they encouraged us to connect with roger, who was so happening giving a ground talk at a place called gail. after his presentation, we had a excellent discussion, soon we were heading to princeton with discussions with them and other senior officers at the foundation. roger said, i want you to join my team as senior officer, can you start tomorrow? we have some serious soul-searching to do. was this the right time and opportunity to make another big leap? knowing that the trauma program was based on a three year grant, we decided maybe it was. the advantage of working as to partners was never more important. for the next few months, fred remained at yale directing the pa and trauma programs, i began taking the train to princeton where i stayed a few days in between deriding my time. one of the first meetings with david rogers and other members of the senior team, we were discussing how best to improve citizen access to health care in america. we should start with an idea we have been

he went to princeton college, i get harry lee as part of the princeton heritage but he no sooner graduatedom princeton in the revolutionary war breaks out. he volunteers service and takes command of a company of course that grows into a mixed lesion of infantry and serves under washington and washington is deeply impressed by harry lee. when washington has to reorganize the campaign for the revolutionary, he turns to his great friend, nathaniel and with green, he says harry. the story of the revolutionary is very much a story written by nathaniel green and white house harry please help. it was after the revolution life started to come apart. at first, it looks like everything is swimming. he marries matilda lee, she's a cousin of his and matilda lee is the mayor of stratford hall which is how white house harry comes to be the man in control. yet white house harry had a real gift for botching things financially. every possible asset for a few real estate investments that simply cork screwed downwards. when matilda week dies, she leaves him with two children, one son and lucy. henry the four

she's professor of international affairs at princeton university, a welcome to the w professor. we've just heard this old fashion freedom fighter. he does love to taunt intellectuals in the media. he calls liberals disney. yeah, absolutely does. and you heard him do that today? you know, what or vance very good at is as you heard in that clip, anticipating what all the criticism is and then immediately dismiss it as the fantasies of liberals who are all arrayed against him. and so his title, how we fight is exactly designed to show you, that's how he fights and see how is that the so isolated here in europe among european governments booked so fated by the u. s. right. well, the u. s. right, is also not the favorite of most european governments as well. so this is exactly why we're buying was coming to the u. s. in fact, it's actually quite remarkable, right, that an allied leader of the united states comes to the united states to criticize the united states and its european allies, speaking to an opposition party. and then saying, actually at the end of his speech, there was a

my mentor at princeton is named robbie george. he is an amazing conservative constitutional professor. there are now 25 outed conservatives of the faculty of prayers -- princeton --. all because of one man who built the institution and is phenomenal. he has a quote "it used to be liberal professors that led to their job -- indoctrinated conservative kids at college. now it is conservative professors that led to their chops of undoing the indoctrination of the kids that already show up woke and indoctrinated." the problem is not higher education. higher education is gone. the focus is k-12. that is the focus of our book. they are consolidating that on k-12. the kid david pumps out our elite, elite performers, elite students, elite critical thinkers, elite debaters ready to engage in the culture and when. --win. if you mean elite by paying $50,000 so your kid can be woke, they are not elite. that or what many of the elite high schools or middle schools look like that are pipelines to the ivy league. these are pipelines to wisdom, ti

with a professor of history here at princeton will list all of her claims that but really it is still at work with her new book. but then the ordeal elizabeth marsh we know her as an expert explorer him the edge of empire from 1860s my copy just arrived late last week but i will say this is abundantly clear throughout the between aspiration and achievement, how is it the constitution which is documented so deeply associated with emancipation rights, how is it basil often producing times in tandem with imperialism and work environment we learned that's not a paradox as it is a problem. linden also reminded us that constitution and they tell the story about a nation of people. to pull up some of the threads of the many varied stories and their underlying themes. welcome. >> go ahead. now maia i will just duct out and that the two of you take it away. >> hello audience it is lovely to see you here and have a chance to celebrate this achievement between the ship and the pen. first i should alert the audience to the fact that she mentioned that this is a book that is truly global the great

here with insights a political scientist that princeton university.wright, thank you for being with us tonight. >> how are you. >> the president doesn't think much of what he calls maga republicans. he says they are semi-fascist. it's pretty unusual to hear name-calling coming from the president of the united states although our previous president engaged in a significant way. what do you think about what the president is trying to do using that terminology? >> this is a political calculation. the calculation on the part of biden is by separating maga republicans from what he calls conservative or mainstream republicans. he will not risk alienating supporters because diehard trump supporters he thinks will never vote for him anyway. to be honest it's probably a pretty astute calculation, that group will not support him under any circumstances. then you're left with the question of will this hurt at all and is really trying to walk that middle ground of not turning off any voters while drawing attention to a message that a lot of people are talking abo

he went to princeton college and he is a princeton alum. and i get, at least, in that respect, able to claim whitehorse harry lee as part of that heritage. but he had no senior graduated from princeton that the revolutionary war breaks out. he volunteers for service and takes command of a company of horse that grows into a mixed legion of horse and infantry. he served under washington and washington is deeply impressed by harry lee. when washington has to reorganize the campaign for the revolution in the south, he turns to his great friend, nathanael greene, and with greene, he sends whitehorse harry. and the story of the revolution in the south is a story that is very much written by nathanael greene and with whitehorse harry lee's help. it was after the revolution that life started to come apart for whitehorse harry. at first it looks like everything is swimming and he marries matilda lee. matilda is a cousin of his. and it's materially who is the air of stratford hall, which is how whitehorse harry comes to control stratford hall. yet, w

by then lyle was a student at princeton. younger brother erik was going to ucla in the fall. so perfect. so why did diane feel this way? >> i said, "well, i know this sounds crazy. but unless i am crazy somebody who's really close to me is gonna die. and it's gonna be horrible." >> horrible? that it certainly was. >> someone killed my parents! >> uh, were they shot? >> yes. >> when we come back -- something chilling in the den. >> the first thing i noticed was jose menendez seated on the couch. >> it was grotesque, what happened. >> questions from the very beginning. >> we didn't see any shotgun shells. >> what did that say to you? >> somebody collected the shotgun shells, somebody that didn't want fingerprints on the shotgun shells. when "dateline" continues. it's the only medication that can treat my migraine right when it strikes and prevent my next attack. treat and prevent all in one. don't take if allergic to nurtec. most common side effects, in less than 3%, were nausea, indigestion/stomach pain. with quick dissolving nurtec i can get back to normal fast and prevent my

but first i want to give a quick shout out and thank you to princeton university history department andhe humanities council. they are our sponsors for tonight and were a great help. and then i want to point out two important buttons on the bottom of your screen. the long one kind of green along one is a link to buy a copy of the gun, the ship, and the pen. if you enter the lll ey you'll get 10% off your entire order. send us an e-mail i put all that information in the chat. and then there's ask a question button. you will see someone has already found that. it's just that. it is the place to put your questions as you think of them. and then i will be taking that shut down, join the conversation. please use that button and feel encouraged to put your questions as you think of them. that will actually help us make sure we leave enough time for the q and a. so now on to our guests. i just mentioned longer view of linda colley's book which i will quote only a sentence but if there were a noble prize in history, the bank not in some ways enough said. just brief graphical details in addition

i went to college at princeton university where i studied history and the oxford university where i studied velocity, politics, and economics. i am 25 years old. [background noises] >> i started playing basketball when i was nine years old, practicing say three or four hours a day, five days a week. in high school i played and all through college. but when i finished the last game of my courage it clear i thought i had finished basketball. i'd turn down a professional contract because i had been fortunate enough to get a rodent scholarship to go to school at oxford in england. and that is what i wanted to do. i looked at it, is a chance to experience a wide variety of things. and m basketball i did not feel was that important. so i went to oxford, i studied, traveled in for about a year end a half i played very little basketball. but in the spring of my second year, when i went down to the gym to shoot some baskets. i was all alone and i shot, the sensation and feeling came back to me. i was dribbling and i was shooting, the whole kind of syndrome of basketball came back to me and appealed

my first job out of princeton was robby george's assistant. he was doing embryo that affect human life. serving on the council. i opened up some of the research briefs that i wrote for him back in june of 2004 as we are drafting some of the chapters in this book. those notes are still very prevalent. my beautiful view viewpoint is meant more impactful. the role of fathers or of a man, is where this book intersects with some of the work i have done on the marriage debate and human sexuality in general. i do not think we ultimately have a culture of life and resort marriage culture. part of restoring a marriage culture is restoring a sound understanding of human sexuality. i'm talking off-the-cuff year.rc 3% of abortions are for married mothers. but the safest place to be o if you are conceived is inside of marriage. marriage is the greatest protector of unborn children. because marriage helps protect that mother. he heard this from her. that's why marriage is so important. we can have the best profamily policy in terms of family leave in prenat

i went to college at princeton university where i studied history and the oxford university where

breckenridge long was a graduate of princeton and a seasoned political operative who had run unsuccessfully for the senate. in missouri twice he become friends with franklin roosevelt when they both served in the wilson administration as many of you know, franklin roosevelt was the assistant secretary of the navy at the time. and long they became good friends long. in fact believe that they were such good friends then in 1933 after roosevelt assumed the presidency. long referred to the commander-in-chief not as mr. president, but rather simply as frank. let me read you a few excerpts from letters that long wrote to frank only weeks after arriving in italy. he describes meeting benito mussolini for the first time. quote he and of comparatively short stature with a very soft well modulated voice and an air of quiet and dignified elegance. and quote in another letter long refers to mussolini as quote a man of astounding character end quote. long's admiration for the italian leader didn't end there. he wrote quote the fascist in their black shirts are apparently in every community. they are dap

the late great paul ramsey of princeton. he hadden dowed position in the ets department. he really was on the the forefront of lifting at the shift from medical ethics to bi. we have this two year fellowshim where young men and women from around the world are applying for a coveted spot. we are only able to accept a few. one of our our first paul ramsey fellows wrote the very famous book "when "when breath becomes air." he was neurosurgeon at stanford whn diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. just to give you insight insight into the caliber of people. medical doctor gilbert e ander, amer professor of ethics. >> that's great. we'll take a final break and come back and tk more. >> hello. welcome back. jennifer, you mentioned paul kyleanthony. that was a book i read. he was a neurosurgeon at . a young married man who got stae 4 cancer suddenly. during his last few months of life, he got treatments which were unsuccessful. he wrote a wonderful best selling book. eve read it. how is he associated? >> paul was one of our first pal ramsey institute fellows. instie runs a two y

and i've taught at princeton, at columbia and all sorts of places. it's sacred space. because that classroom door closes and you are not a number you are a human being. and so, we developed this play and it was the revelations that were just unimaginable. i mean, something happened when it was publicked although it's 28 collaborative something, something happened to everyone in that classroom. whatever was in the play, it happened to someone in that classroom. or timmy, i said well, write a scene about your mother, something to the conversation with your mother and timmy came up and said what if we're a product of rape? i said that's what you have to write. and he writes about the phone call from the county jail. he is in a car in patterson with his half-brother the car is stopped the weapon is found. it's his half-brother's gun. but timmy, if no one claims it, then everyone can be charged with a weapon charge. and timmy takes ownership of it. although it wasn't his. and the conversation from the county jail is it doesn't matter, ma. i was never supposed to be here any

. >> and princeton before that. >> and princeton before that. >> and the only way i was able to go to smart so i was able to get scholarships, academic scholarships. had i not, the loans that i took out that took me about 15 years to pay back would have been 100% of the education that i got so when he talks about people going to harvard, there were a lot of working class kids like me who didn't have money and who was only able to go to school because of loans so when he talks about elite people, he's the elite person. how can they be trying to make this argument that working class kids who get student loans don't deserve a break? >> if ted cruz would step outside his carefully insulated bubble, he might end up talking to some of the people who end up with student loan debt really and as you say some are kids of modest backgrounds who end up going off to college although, joy, i've got to put a little plug in here. you know, harvard, 2% of the students have to borrow money. state schools, it's more than 50% of the kids have to borrow money to make it through and historically black coll

lovely, it resembled princeton, new jersey. again, there is this other side to it where he is taking what he knows and comparing what he is just meeting, hey, they are like us, they are like princeton, we have these connections. they are part of our community. and then he also pointed out the other side of the connecticut river is what is called the state of vermont, but, which is in dispute at that time. okay, so, he is observing and recording. he is examining what is different, what is similar, what is common among these various regions and peoples, there were certainly some unfavorable comparisons but quite frankly, he was often very positive about what he was seeing. i will say he was also always looking for a future opportunities and this, the thing that we see with hawkins is he could not make it as a printer down here in philadelphia, there was a surplus of printers down here in philadelphia at the time. but, he was certainly looking out there and you see things like, oh, albany, do you have a printing press here. i see

robbie george from princeton your mentor was on twitter or facebook or something this weekend talking about being at a colleague's house. who's pro joyce. i saw that and and she had on her refrigerator her grandchild's ultrasound and so they were able to have a conversation just on the humanity the obvious humanity there, you know outside of a context of a political debate, right? and that is where we need to meet people because politics and media are not our friends on this issue necessarily. obviously we have to have you know, policy and political debates, but it's it's the place of pouring salt on wounds all too often unfortunately. so the most the more we can leverage relationships to have long-term, you know efforts to persuade the better in the book and i found this helpful being reminded while the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwarranted child merits consideration and sympathy. it's my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places of the human life. wanted or want unwanted. i believe that hum

his new book, the man who understood democracy, the life of alexis to toe -- detofil, published by princeton university. >> thank you so much, and thank you to agreeing to be a commentator. thank you, christian, for your kind introduction. i am delighted to be here. i know we are going to get into the nitty-gritty of what is significant in the book. i would like to make a few professional remarks about this biography -- it is more personal than academic. i have had a long friendship with dash. i met him as a young man. i was fortunate when i was still a graduate student in french history, board shifting to u.s. history, to meet scholars of the french revolution -- we all know his work. he is the first one in 1968 that i remember, in the 1968, the colonial years here in paris, introduced me to the writings on the french revolution. that was my first encounter with the work. the work and how he spent his life on the french revolution is really kind of a second masterpiece. by accidents, really, when i joined the university of virginia faculty as an assistant professor in 1978, i had a chance t

but lovely it resembled, princeton, new jersey. so again, there's this other side to it where he's taking what he knows and comparing what he's just meeting. hey, they're like us they're like princeton up there. you know. hey, we've got these connections. they're part of our community and doing this and then he also pointed out the other side of the connecticut river is what is called the state of vermont, but which is in dispute at that time. okay, so he's observing and recording he's examining what is different. what is similar? what is common among these various regions and people's there were certainly some unpopular or some unfavorable comparisons, but quite frankly. he was often very positive about what he was seeing. i will say he was also always looking for future opportunities in this the thing that we see with hawkins is he couldn't make it as a printer down here. delphia i think there was a surplus of printers down here in philadelphia at the time, but he was certainly looking out there and you see things like hmm albany
