of-a-kind. he is nearly universally admired today. those that are old enough to remember know that it was not always that way. truth of the matter is, before he was the great communicator, ronald reagan was the great disruptor. conservative outsider who vigorously oppose the moderate republican establishment in his day. reagan's victory in 1980 breathe new life into our party and into conservatism. he changed the course of our nation and literally changed the course of the world. i think today, we find ourselves in a very similar position. president donald trump was also one of a kind. he too disrupted the status quo, invigorated movement, and there is no turning back. under the trump administration we achieve things that some republicans have been talking about for decades. we did it all not by backing down but by standing strong. and freedom was the anthem of our administration. under the trump pence administration, i proudly report that we rebuilt our military. we restore the arsenal of our military and we made the strongest militar

the university of chicago began an investigation into him. reds of economists signed a position to have him removed as the editor of a major economics journal. what does that have to do with it? nothing. another member of the mob was janet yellen. she's now our treasury secretary. yellen wrote this statement at the time. it would be appropriate for the university of chicago, which is the publisher of the journal of political economy, to review his performance and suitability to continue as editor. because he opposed getting rid of the police. to this day, notably, janet yellen has never retracted that statement or apologized for joining the mob to hurt an innocent man for telling the truth. that's fine with her. it's fine with her now. the other activists who targeted him, have they admitted they were wrong? >> no. "anyone still wants to defund the police, stay away from hyde park." no one has apologized or learned anything. the politicians ruining the state of illinois and the city of chicago demand above all that you worship them like gods.

between the state run university and the executive branch of the state of florida. friday, the university announced it would reverse its decision and will now allow those faculty members to testify. but despite the reversal, three faculty members are suing the president provost, and board of trustees over the under lying issue. their case had followed others in which the university reportedly denied other professor requests to provide expert testimony. here's how the miami herald reported on this. back in august, university officials told a professor of pediatrics he couldn't work on two cases challenging the state's ban on mask mandates because participating in lawsuits against governor ron desantis's administration would quote create a conflict for the university. and last year for a lawsuit challenging a new law requiring felons to pay unpaid court debts before their voting rights are restored, the herald said four university of law professors who wanted to sign a friend of the court brief were told they could not identify themselves as university faculty members

of job prospects. there's often a promises made that are simply not delivered on it. you universityinistrators operating in such a way to try to get more time out of students as opposed to actually delivering an educational product to them. >> this is been a revolving change in your view in higher education in america? >> i think it's something that at least goes back to the middle of the last century. the post-world war ii era as higher ed really expanded. you can find trayce going back hundreds of years. one of the anecdotes we tell and our story adam smith are for the wealth of nations in 1776 compared to inefficiencies at oxford university in england to the scottish system. one of the things he pointed out is the professors were lazy, the administrators were operating in such a way they thought there was a continuous cash flow. they did not have them deliver anything to the students. children under the students cheated came to class late it's the same patterns received 250 years later are still taking place in the university system for. >> necessary for good job anymore? depends

for the head of a student group says the universities creating an unacceptable walk of shame for those who are not vaccinated. absolutes, it is absolutely discriminatory and humane, and a very clear moved towards a 2 class society. we could assign the fact that people are excluded from society simply because they exercise their free choice not to be vaccinated. a step further is the labeling of people who have made a free decision not to be vaccinated. it doesn't matter whether this is done with ribbons as we have seen in the past. or we've wristbands which is currently being done in germany and in some cases already in austria or with vaccination stickers. as is currently the case at the university of economics and business administration . we can only condemn it and call it a hostile and inhuman policy when people are marked based on their health condition or their vaccination status. those who have decided not to be vaccinated will not be persuaded by an increase in pressure, but through education and vaccinated people should be treated at university just like they were treated befo

the chinese university of hong kong, and eventually the university of hong kong. these universities are ordering statues be removed the commemorate human rights violations of the past. this saddens me deeply. what saddens me more as a professor that teaches human rights and constitutionalism, i knew over the years most of the people you mentioned that are in jail today. the thing that is striking about them are these are the best kinds of citizens in the country could want. these are good people. they are not defending hong kong's rights because they make money off of it, they are defending them on principle. many students i have had that are in jail stood up for human rights, stood up for basic economic welfare of a society and spent all these years doing that because of principles. i can say to anyone in beijing and hong kong, when you are looking up the best and brightest in your society, you have to look in the mirror. it is not them that is wrong, it is you. i believe that that. thank you. >> thank you, professor davis. it is not just -- i know some of the pe

he's a senior clinical lecturer at the university of x as a medical school and an expert and infectious disease control. he joins us now from boss doctor, thanks for joining us again here on out of there, there's obviously been so much speculation. so let's start with what we actually do . know about me crohn. there are at least 50 mutations, i believe $32.00 alone on the spike. protein and i know many people that sounds pretty terrifying. what does that actually mean? yet we need to keep it calm. so what it actually means is, the wires is made off or renee and this are a ne codes for a number of proteins, etc. and in one section, which codes for the manufacture of the spike protein, there are many mistakes, or what we would call many mutations. and with this many mistakes, mutations, the structure of the spite of protein changes and when the structure, meaning the shape of it changes, it can become more infectious, less infectious, more disease causing and more interestingly, also possibly bypass the vaccines. so it is the many changes in the spike protein that is causing all this inte

of materialist funds. where says that the universe is made up of unconscious matter. there's no purpose in the universe or new condition, or indeed in human life. where isolated in the privacy of our skulls, separated from other people and from nature. this is a very separative, individualistic, few, i've asked a mystic individuals in of pointless universe. it's literally a depressing world view. and for those who take it seriously, it's not surprising that it needs to depression, and i'm not everyone who believes in it gets depressed, but for the whole culture to be based in this way of looking at the world, i think means that depression is likely to be endemic in 2nd modern societies and indeed there are millions and millions of people on anti depressant pills. i guess from your book that it's pretty well established, that religious and spiritual practices contribute in an immeasurable way of how not only in terms of them, blood pressure advocacy, but even then brain architecture as well as on the opposite. you know, people who deny themselves the psychic damnation,

for your today at this moment, the pillar of shame still stands at hong kong university. in fact, hundreds of journalists have been keeping watch over the statue around-the-clock since the news broke that it was going to be removed. there might not be a more timely symbol of the state of political rights and hong kong than the fate of the pillar of shame. it is created and unveiled in 1997, a touchstone for freedom in hong kong, and its impending removal and destruction might as well be a tombstone for freedom. in hong kong. i urge this body and its allies to stand with us and the people of hong kong and to continue to work to keep them alive. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you so very much mr. chiu. a very eloquent and strong statement. on behalf of those who are suffering in hong kong, including the basic human rights and the incarcerations which are just an abomination. all happening in the light of day. although what is happening behind closed doors is anyone's guess, and we know that this treatment is certainly part of what the chinese police do. i thank you for th

in the 17th century, they used talk work models of the planet, says a model of the university kind of clock universe. but the big bang, where the universe starts very small, expands and grows and forms new, more structures within it, that's much more like a developing embryo than any machine we know off. so i think that this machine metaphor is, can be helpful in some ways, but it's very distorting. if we apply it to the hood of nature, it's also very anthropocentric and humans make machines and to protect this obsession of us on the hood of nature, leads to a false view of nature. and i think as one reason we have that climate crisis, we because we felt house of separate from nature and haven't seen the us as a living organism and our own life is speaking about this and to percent kinship a centric approach. i think the whole science is based on the assumption of, in a, standing, the universe with an intention of understanding what it can do for us or what it can do. she asked. so in a way, it's a very self centered approach. and then not that objective as some of the scientists woul
