where you exposed to this canon at yale? a little bit. i don't want to yale too much. it's very, very mean thing to this one's alma mater. i think it was don kagan who was one of the great certainly not left wing philosophers. he was the great, great ancient greek historian who died only recently. and he had been the dean of yale college, i believe it was professor kagan, who said something to the effect of years ago, a student could graduate yale with an education, didn't have to have an education to graduate yale, but it was possible. and today, i'm not sure it's even possible because so much of that university and really all of the universities has been taken over by grievance studies, the the pseudo academic departments that come out of critical theory. i'm thinking of women's sexual and gender studies, black studies is this studies that studies american studies, which ironically is the only studies where the teachers teach you to hate the thing that you are studying. that's not not true of black studies, not true of women's studies. there was a great exchange with

i became "the lawyer that went to yale." "the nba student that went to yale." acting was never the consistency in these different paths i took. some people don't know i studied martial arts. i had this b burning itchh to popossibly expxplore the a acti world.d. >> repeporter: hee got his f fi acting jobob in 202007. three years later,r, his first hollywoodd film. and in 2018, his big break in the tv series "warrior." "warrior" was inspired by the writings and work of his hero, bruce lee. it's set in the late 1800s in san francisco during the gang wars of chinatown. >> it was definitely something that allowed me to have a platform with the world. i couldn't refer to someone on television or in the movie theater as, "that's my hero." i'm getting picked on because of my eyes, you know? there was no person or place i could go to, to feel better about myself looking like this, coming from my heritage. so to hear feedback now that my kid or even the dad or even the mom is like, we love your character. what you represent is so different but so necessarily. people are

you have a yale law school degree.t's a long line in, you know, with the democrats. a lot, a lot of people over there. much shorter line with e republicans. >> narrator: he'd been tilting conservative since leaving law school, and now began to flesh out his conservative ideology. he reconnected with his former yale classmate. >> at one point, he said, "can you send me some books or something that might be worth reading?" and so i put together a bunch of things i thought he might be interested in reading and sent them out. i think he went through, clearly, an evolution. he had certainly become much more conservative, really out of, outside of yale law school, out in the real world. >> you've heard about clarence thomas, but not by name. he is one of the black people now on center stage in american politics. he is a republican. >> narrator: thomas would put himself in the spotlight, making controversial comments in "the washington post." >> thomas is also a man who has a sister on welfare back in his home state of georgi

now of course here at yale pull doesn't need any introduction. he has been the mentor to many of us who are here to generations of undergraduate students and and graduate students. he built up an environment for international history and global history at yale. that is unrivaled. i think not used in this country, but but internationally he has gone out of his way to be to be kind and to help people who have been visiting here including me before i arrived at, you know, as as faculty and it's i think this ability that professor kennedy has to reach out to people that is really helped us here at yale build the kind of environment that we now have for the kind of research that he will talk more about in presenting his book, but of course, it's not just that at deal that professor hindi as well known to a whole series of books. this is his 20th written or edited volume. he has really helped to shape the field of international history. at no point more. i think it would be right to say then with his 1988 the ryerson full of the great powers, which is

cec, at yale school, who started something called america now america first in 1940. bears no resemblance to the more contemporary use of the term. america first in 1940 was primarily a phenomenon on college campuses. now, a young gerald ford, young john f kennedy, young gore vidal, not so young walt disney, lillian gish, norman thomas frank lloyd wright. they were all united by disillusionment. america's experience in world war one. remember, we had been promised a lot. we had been a war to end wars. we had been a league of nations. we had been promised our irrationality in place of national when racial, ethnic hatred, none of which transpire. and of course, by the 1930s, it that europe was well on its way to the horrors of the first world war. and so ford and three other yale students had the idea of creating this organization. now but but here's again this is ford a much more complicated figure he appears because of the very same time that he's signing up for the isolationist agenda. like hometown hero arthur vandenberg vandenberg, he is also literally swept off fe

why -- what were his expectations coming out of yale?uest: many of clarence's friends, some who went to law school, were themselves beneficiaries of affirmative action. say what clarence was after was what they were after. go to yield law school, this is an automatic ticket to the top rung. you are a graduate of yale law school, you will get a prestigious job on wall street if you want. you will get the money. you will have arrived. i think clarence had an expectation that might happen. when he got there, he realized the school -- even though his housemate at the time was john bolton and they were having regular conversations about the conservative perspective of the world and whatever, clarence realized as he graduated that the school -- bill and hillary clinton were just ahead of them. a lot of people believed they were going to try to change the world were in those classes. that was not clarence's style. he was outgunned, he basically never spoke in class. he did not get any offers, like many of the other people. one of his friends te

at yale. he spent more time at yale then heated at the university of michigan. he knew about the legal problems six months before he ever acknowledged it. the interesting thing is that means the white house new earlier, too. ford was a much more ambitious figure than the persona. he wanted to be richard nixon's running mate in 1960. he discovered a process just before he left the presidency. he was approached by bill, secretary of the treasury, about john mitchell. the campaign manager who went to jail for his part in the watergate affair. ford turned him down. i don't think it was because of any sort of aftermath. quite simply, ford had been taught to look for the good in everyone. that led some people to see him as naive. the other side of the coin was, just as he was honest with people, he expected them to be honest with him. two days after the watergate break-in, ford confronted mitchell one-on-one and asked did you know anything about this? mitchell denied it. ford said later on that guy lied to my face. that was something you didn't do. there are a lot of

you've gone to yale. you have a law degree, a business degree, and then a leading man in theory in hollywood. >> it was meant to be. it is meant to be. because i don't think anyone could have scripted it this way. and i'm telling you as the guy, this story is still writing itself. >> why can't we have a blockbuster a-list tom cruise, matthew mcconaughey denzel washington that's asian? >> i think because this is america, honestly. whether you're in the tri-state, which is a very diverse area on the east coast or whether you're in l.a. or bay area. within that diversity there is still a lot of ignorance. there is still a lot of ceilings. it's time for change. people are ready. >> in that huddle, still teleme something that maybe most of us don't know. donald? >> well, rich was ap government too. so he was smart. so very smart. so we knew he had command. >> let's be real. starting quarterback, goes to yale, law degree, business degree, actor, good-looking. come on, man, that's too much. >> it -- i was kind o

joining us now is timothy snyder, professor of history at yale university.pe, america. professor snyder, what was your reaction to this list of 500, including the particulars in the list? >> thank you, lawrence, i should declare my own interest, which is i've been sanctioned, not once, but twice by the russians. it's been a while now. i'm in good company. i guess my first reaction is that what we see here is a principled, if that's the word, and consistent policy of trying to undo the rule of law in the united states. from the point of view of russia, what is wrong with america, is that the constitution does work, the rule of law does hold, the january 6th insurrection didn't work. what they would like to see as a chaotic, failed america that comes down to their level. in a more tactical dimension, what we see here is the political hail mary where mr. putin is really, really hoping that trump could win in 24, because he understands that is his best hope to, somehow, hold on to a victory in ukraine, and it's probably putin's best hope to have a political futu

on april 28th, the yale county coroner identified that victim as 50-year-old david henry theroux, who has been in the community for over a decade and, while homeless, was a regular fixture in the downtown in a very positive manner. the other night we had a vigil for him, and many community members spoke about his positive and lasting impact on the community. two nights later, april 19th, a resident reported hearing what sounded like a disturbance near his house, and the disturbance was located in sycamore park in central west davis. the resident went outside to investigate and found an adult with what appeared to be multiple stab wounds. he immediately called 911, had a short interaction with the suspect, who fled. police officers and fire department personnel responded and the victim was declared deceased at that time. the next day the coroner identified the davis resident, and he was a local resident, davis high school graduate and a usd student. last night, on may 1st, at approximately 11:46, the department received a few 911 calls. the first one came in reporting a disturbance at

korychyk , he is a member of the coordination council of the belarusian opposition , a researcher at yalee if mrs. tykhanovskaya is involved hmm let's say it should be called the creation of a powerful, possibly some kind of the forces of supporters around him in order to be finally ready to take power when the moment comes, and such a process is underway , a transitional cabinet was created, which was entered as representatives of the power bloc in er, for example, er, mr. sakharchik, er, who repeatedly met with valery zaluzhnym, and er, creates the so-called wives of the common uprising, that is, these are the citizens who are ready to participate as much as possible in the process of transferring power. pavel latushka, who is headed by er, actually er, he is the representative of the tikhonov power in transit , that is, he must develop this very road map, how exactly to take power or transfer power, and so on, that is, it the process is going on and it seems to me that he is considering different options for the death of lukashenko and the strangeness and fall of the regime . it seems

is a member of the coordination council of the belarusian opposition, a scientist, an employee of yale university university congratulations, what do you associate with these new inspections between russia and belarus ? well, i think that it is obvious that this appeared immediately after the attack on the kremlin by unknown drones, and i think that lukashenko was shocked because he is very cowardly , afraid of his own life destiny and realizes that his residence can also be an object of interest for these unknown aeronauts, so i think that there are cases of train accidents and, uh, burned at oil depots, oil plants, and of course, a blow direct attack on putin's residence was a reason for lukashenko to close the border exactly to establish it after more than 10 years, the absence of lukashenko, is lukashenko in a position to make such decisions on his own , because this whole story with the so-called union state with yak you just said the lack of borders. well, now there are such roadblocks in addition to fear for one's own life and the security of one's residence. he understands that
