so yale has a score. it is one to nothing, yale. and that's how the game ended. one nothing, yale over harvard in 1876. harvard's lost frustrated roosevelt. in a letter to his mother the next day he didn't say whether he enjoyed himself. the future president -- he couldn't anticipate the critical role he would play in the games future. but he did give voice to the frustration we all know, the agony of defeat. i am sorry to say we were beaten, he wrote to his mother. principally because our opponents played very foul. in a moment i'll talk more about teddy roosevelt, what he did to save football but i would like to say a few things about why football matters to me personally and i think to americans generally. i met my wife on which we football game in ann arbor. we walked from our dorm across campus to michigan stadium. at least that's my first clear memory of her. we didn't start dating until basketball season. but our bond was formed out of a mutual love of the maize and blue. my romance with college football action goes back for the with my father teaching me

and the problem of bad ideas at harvard or yale, there being harvard or yale scholars. it isn't a matter of a few range 10 more ordinary law schools together you of some of balance out one harvard or other top 10 school. and ideas have consequences. we always find -- getting back to that same point which is one must have id is better qualified to best the other side ideas and debate. spreading money or, had a greater organization fair, you know, networking and third place are all helpful and all may help people who deserve to succeed from falling by the wayside, but nothing would substitute. >> christine from cei in the front row. >> hello. so, i'm wondering what you think, what your thoughts might be on whether some of these sort of wrongheaded ideas in academia actually translate to lawmakers? for example, states attorney general are members of congress or state legislators. do these ideas in fact have influences that have become bad law? >> yes, i think they do, and i gave various examples in the book or i could've easily filled several books with other examples. in

he was another yale medical student. he was in the civil war as a doctor and probably had post-traumatic stress disorder and killed someone and was locked in an insane asylum. in britain. and from that insane asylum he gave james murray tens of thousands of illustrative quotations for the oxford english dictionary. the brits consider him a star of the oed. that star of the oed is actually an american reject because simon winchester in his book, and winchester's is a breed. the brits have written history about that and my point is the americans were damn good in the 19th century and we shouldn't forget it. that winchester didn't realize that w.c. minor worked on webster's 1864 addition again i look at the correspondents, and he was the one weak link. ever says this is a fantastic dictionary. minor was supposed to do a natural history definition and they were really lousy. so the future star of the oed couldn't cut it as an american lexicographer, and i just want to highlight just how impressive that dictionary is and that

he's now left and teaches law at yale, so help me. [laughter] the original title for me book was 10 bad ideas from the law schools and how they changed the world. keep turning out certain kinds of bad ideas, and it is not just that they are randomly generated bad ideas. and some of it, but only some of it is ideological. todd mentioned that the law school's, let me in the state again come are not exactly hotbeds of libertarian thinking these days. despite the best efforts of richard epstein, randy burnett, john mcginnis, richard epstein, richard epstein. [laughter] they are outnumbered. it depends on which steady you look at. in some studies it is only six to one or eight to one ratio of democrats to republicans. another one down 28-1. that must be exaggerated. twenty-three to one in colombia. those figures may be exaggerated. yet, harvard, according to people who should know did go for 30 years without hiring a single republican. a leading taken into that, i believe. this is my favorite part. over much of that time they maintained a

c-span: when were you at yale? >> guest: i was at yale from '66 to '70. c-span: did you know charles reich? >> guest: no. c-span: is he still alive? >> guest: yes. he's still a professor at yale. c-span: and you say he had a tremendous impact. >> guest: oh, a tremendous impact, enormously influential the supreme court fell right for it. c-span: so one article... >> guest: no, it wasn't. then he had a follow-up article. he wrote a book called "the greening of america." he had a number of -- he's a very prolific and brilliant writer. he just happens to be wrong. c-span: who picked him up, though? i mean, who used his work? >> guest: look at the context. everybody did. much is a function of the times in which it happens just as we are in the middle of, perhaps, a gingrich revolution or the like. we were then at the crest of the civil rights movement where people were re-examining the whole idea of authority and we had all these abuses of southern governors. we had just discovered that rivers were so dirty that they were catching on fire and water supplies we

he's now left that and is teaching at yale so help me. so the original title for my book was ten bad ideas from all schools and how the change the world. at least that's how i started out what became schools for misrule and as you can tell, i abandoned the that title and indeed abandoned as the framework for it because i couldn't answer the question really come only ten where are you going to stop, how long is this going to become any way? and so i realized i needed to turn in part why we get so many of these bad ideas and why the law schools keep turning out certain bad ideas and it's not just that they are randomly generated bad ideas, and some of it but only some of it is ideological. todd mentioned the all schools let me understand again are not hotbeds of the conservative thinking these days. despite the best efforts of richard epstein, randy burnett, john, richard epstein, they are outnumbered and it depends which study you look at in some of his only six to one or eight to one of democrats to republicans and a mother 28 for 1 that

dollars per year per kid to lock a kid up and we did it mad at the time you could sit four kids to yale for the cost of food and one kid to jail we said this is ridiculous these kids in the classroom don't have books they don't have chalk summer programs are being cut but we're spinning a hundred fifty k. per year per kid locking them up and then these kids come out eighty five ninety percent of them wind up in adult prison so what have we run a hundred fifty thousand dollars a year prep schools for adult present we said look give the community that money you give any community leader one kid and hundred thousand dollars that kid is going to never be in trouble again because you could give the kid therapy you could take him to europe you could do anything and have money left over and so we started that books not bars campaign and our objective was just to close the youth prisons in california people that we were crazy but we will end up by doing simple smart things and making sure the money was spent better helping to cut california's youth prison population by about thirty percent work

i kind of went off to yale for law school for him i think that was his happiest day of his life proudest day you kind of lived the american dream he was really glad i got new haven connecticut within a couple of weeks of pretty mad because i saw so much poverty and injustice which i wasn't prepared for and decided really i wanted to do something about it which is the bay area and while i was there in one thousand nine hundred king verdicts came down i was the younger viewers may not know about this but there was a guy african-american man good you know tape being. beaten mercilessly by four white police officers and an all white jury acquitted those officers rather billing and there were disturbances across america i at the time being a young law student was asked by the civil rights group i was working for to go out and monitor see what was going on. and days later i went back out to monitor and there were peaceful demonstrations by that point same cisco but the police arrested everybody. including legal managers like myself and i said look there's something desperately wrong with our c

you could send a youth to 3 years in law school in stan ford and yale. beyond that, every year we have looked to issues of critical importance. not only locally but throughout the nation. 2 years ago, we looked at undocumented youths particularly those from honduras and other countries where a hostile relationship were being deportd and sent back without parental support. so this year, we focus on the problems of guns and violence in our schools. both to and from schools and at schools. we raise this not as an insend iary issue. but as the headlines read and give the impression that youth themselves are to blame for these incidents that we often hear about involving guns and gun violence. but to recognize as a society, we have done little to decrease the proliferation of guns on our streets. we have done little. it's just like the war to drugs. you know, it seems almost strange toous those words since it's been such a failure. but the same thing we've seen with guns. particularly those of you who work with youth and in the communities, which are plagued

brown, harvard, yale, berkeley, univ. of chicago, they have been doing it for a long time. china is catching up quick. i want to end with this brief point which is this -- we must learn from each other in a spirit of humility, with dignity. china has a great civilization in the past and present. china has work to do to be better. in the united states has a great history but work to do. we can learn from one another, push one another, criticize ourselves and criticize one another said that we will both be more democratic and more free. that is what is so wonderful about this discussion. tavis: i had a wonderful time here. it is the students here in beijing and their counterparts in the u.s. that will decide how our two countries deal with each other in the future. i have come away from this journey as i have with some of the other's thinking that what we need to do is talk to each other and listen to each other and fines -- and find what makes us the same residential land on what makes us different. >thank you for hanging out with us. . next time, keep the faith. tavis: drum

and beverly gauge shows me now from yale. why? why are things so very bad?the really big historical picture things aren't so bad. there have been worse moments such as when an entire region of the country succeeded and congress collapsed in the civil war. in more modern times we're really seeing something quite remarkable. i think there are two things going on. the first is what that foreign policy article wrote about which is that you've seen real changes in the way the parties are struck chered. -- structured. you have much more idealogical uniformity in the party sos that the most conservative democrat is now slightly to the left according to the studies of the most liberal republican. that can be a little misleading because it suggests that you've got the democrats moving left and the republicanings moving right. i think what's happening is is whole spectrum has shifted to the right even as we've seen this little bit of playing out bipartisanship and idealogical partisanship within the parties. i think we're seeing the fulfillment of that trend without q

and the, um, the problem of bad ideas at harvard or yale will be met by there being harvard and yale scholars with other ideas as has indeed been happening. it, it isn't a matter where if you link ten more law schools together, you will somehow balance out one harvard or berkeley or other top ten school. and ideas have consequences. i mean, we always find different ways of getting back to that same point which is that one must have ideas that are qualified to best the other side's ideas in debate. spreading money here, having great organization there, you know, networking in the third place are all helpful, and they all may help people who deserve to succeed from falling by the wayside, but nothing will substitute for the raw talent. yes, christine from cei, in the front row. christine hall. >> hello. so i'm wondering what you think, what your thoughts might be on whether some of these kooky and very wrong-headed ideas in liberal academia actually translate to lawmakers. you know, for example, state attorney general or members of congress or state legislators. do these ideas, in fact

figure here in peru, largely because he took thousands of artifacts in 1911 which were only returned by yaleuniversity earlier this year after quite a bit of legal fighting. they have mixed views on him from the heritage point of view, but even his greatest critics will say that he is the man who really brought machu pichu into the world. in stark contrast to the inca ceremonies which we saw earlier , people are now in the main square in joining the tunes of the local rock star. earlier today, they held a light show on a big screen in the square here. there were light beams across machu pichu. it has been a big mixture between traditional western art and music and traditional peruvian art and music. everyone here has been joining the celebration. >> we can hear the celebrations going on. it sounds fantastic. very briefly, just how important is this to the peruvian economy? >> hugely important. it really is the cash cow of the tourism industry. about 90% of the tourism industry relies on it. it earned several hundred million dollars a year in terms of revenue. that was very noticeable last ye

[laughter] you have to ask. i got a lot of those questions. when people found out i was chinese, and was one of five on campus. there was a lot of ignorance about chinese-americans on the campus. i had two jokes. i was either bruce lee's brother or a descendant of robert e. lee.

know, greenwich village types and upper-west side intellectuals and college students from harvard and yaleverford who came in for the weekend, hopped on the train and came to new york to hear her perform. in that sense, at least initially, she was singing to the choir in a way. she was singing to people whose inclinations would have been very progressive to begin with. at the same time, because they'd never heard anything like this before, even they didn't quite know how to react. and there is this line in her autobiography where she describes how she first performed the song and how when she finished it, there was this moment of silence when she was done. and no one quite knew what to do. here she is singing about a lynching. you know, what do you do? i mean, do you clap? you know, do you follow the normal rituals of a nightclub? and i think it could even stop a supposedly sophisticated audience like this. and i can attest from personal experience to the fact that you play this song even today-- i mean, now, you know, we've heard everything today. it's very hard for any kind of song to ha
