all over the world actually if you look actually if you look at russia it's also neck in academia and other where is that and why is that it is because academia has grown up in context but if you look at pretty much every course at a university almost every course not every but almost every course the context is central by you will study south asian studies you'll study russian history this is a context based perspective and when you take that approach somebody has to provide you an interpretation of the context and so over time that interpretation can become biased if your educational approach is cross can text sure will. cross contacts show indy's case means having 7 facilities around the world that he didn't have through the course of that so it has means culturally cross contextual both in where the students learn but also in the student body it means cross contextual in the sense that when you do your studies you learn these pieces of practical knowledge not within a field but apply to many different fields right but the subject matter isn't the field of study it is the tool that

for centuries have been the downtrodden of our society and you know it's a bit like what institutions academia hollywood the media and. i would say yes because hollywood an actor you get and you see a right and are absolutely don't have now are you serious well listen i'm not talking about the media i'm talking about the people that are kicking trying to snub the career people that are problematic in these institutions these institutions are definitely right wing i mean the whole 20th century the list that they had to blacklist leftists from the the media akademi and so on and the story of the left and in the united states the left is at the weakest position it has ever been in the history but it is now gaining steam and i think that this is just a reflection of this i can't really sentiment we have to go back and read in trying our terms not the left menu right now because you know we look at a platform you know roger stone was the platforms ok why because he says he offends you i mean i'm a conservative in rogers don't impinge me all the time i says profession is do of pens you ok right now

and i went to academia and he was a guiding light he was a bit controversial in his early days because he had reem re understood it and mapped out. what we understood about the soviet union russia and communism and sell he was an adviser to presidents particular of george bush sr he played a pivotal role in academia and i would even say in foreign policy but then everything changed he was basically disappeared by the academy because he disagree with the the consensus. view of russia after the cold war and he was always one that would say engagement because he remembered the cold war and remember how detente for all been sailing works because it kept us out of the major conflict your thoughts about him because united moralists studied the same thing with our lives parallel. in the go ahead george yes you're absolutely right peter he was a towering figure and he has been for many years i mean don't forget back in the 1970 is the consensus view among analysts of the soviet union was that change was impossible but the soviet system had to reach a kind of bureaucratic equilibrium you know t

but but on the other hand there would be immediate reduction but i think academia is going to suffer the most in countries like united states where the things overall are much more like it so that is what one of my favorite russian near scientists at that senator niggas gotta know maybe you even know her and she spoke to me recently and she goes that assert uncertainty east the most frightening thing for a human psyche and since this crisis has brought us up to like a whole new level of uncertainty. she says these are the things that will help us through curiosity and empathy do you agree let me tell you what happened to kind of people the 1st kind of people say oh things are bad i'm just a home and cry and wait for things to get better like for example. who were drivers say ok there's no right or another friend of mine who was. someone from iran. that he converted is aside to start a delivery service. he says people you know they're buying food that they don't want to wait in line supermarket and so you know and he's making twice as much money twice ok so some people are making. lem

but what's happened is that this idea has been reallies caped from academia -- really escaped from academia and started penetrating educational institutions that are ideologically sympathetic to critical race theory, then corporations which have basically been bullied into adopting these programs, and then even the federal government. so you have public employees who are paid by taxpayers perpetuating ideology that is explicitly anti-american, explicitly anti-constitutional. and until these stories were uncovered and exposed to the public, they had been spreading for years. but i think with this order and the continued fight existence it, the -- against it, the tide is beginning to turn. lou: well, it's beginning to turn because of your extraordinary efforts. and, again, i want to commend you for doing so. as we wrap up here, the critical race theory, is it actually an attempt to, if you will, indoctrinate americans? is it part of what we see now happening whether it's on the streets of democrat-run cities or whether it's what we see as indoctrination in schools, is it part of that effort t

victor davis hanson is a senior fellow and one of the rare figures in academia who is not deeply knowledgeable but wise, we are grateful to have him on to assess what we saw last night in the debate. >> thank you. i think there was two debates. there was the optics and the atmospherics, if you read the transcript later in what was said, it's quite different. it reminded me in the 60s of kennedy-nixon. everyone thought kennedy looked calm and poised but what he actually said was trivial compared to nixon who looked angry and tired. trump interrupted and biden was calm her, he can't answer court packing because he's made this devil's bargain with the left and that constrains him. trump is not trying to delude anybody, what you see is what you get. fracking, great, law and order, absolutely, in the past, in the present, in the future. that hurt him that he tried to interrupt because he had the better message. the first 5 minutes was wonderful, he was calm but i think he got the idea he was going to rattle biden and he interrupted biden and he didn't understand that when biden is free to speak, th

academia is somewhat insulated from the larger society. all side types of strange people walking around. all this craziness of socialism, identity politics, the extremes of political correctness. at this is a subset of american life. in contrast to this, with mainstream america, but i think what's happened in the last couple of decades is that these academic nonstorms. the craziest of them. have since exploded in a viruslike into the culture. the media has been the transmitter of this. and the democratic party has embraced it. so i think bernie is, in that sense, a product of obscure philosophies concocted by people like john rowles who would say that years and years ago that essentially whether you are hardworking or smart, you are just lucky. you just got those brains by chance. even your hard work is the result of what your parents taught you. you don't deserve the fruits of your labor. >> laura: yeah, you didn't build that. it's going up to obama and all the negativity from reverend wright. because all the original sins of america -- t

to this day academia and the media largely position men as the experts. a study in the united states found that almost 63 percent of stem representatives in the media were male and only 37 percent female. all male panels seminars and events are so frequent that anything else often feel strange. if i could think and i would i was recently in a review panel and in this panel of different disciplines and different subject areas we were 50 percent women and i asked we all sat down at the round table and at 1st the men felt an almost under represented class and they almost started counting whether they really representative 2 percent as one if it was a completely odd situation because none of us ever felt we were on a committee with such a high percentage of women who are on time. this anecdote made me realize something important to close the gender gap in science we need to promote gender balance at all levels of society and for this to happen female figures need to find their way back into the spotlight. that applies to science the media and especially the h

a much more clear-eyed perspective from academia. there is a real concern effort to get inside our ecosystem. without the benefit or talent, we don't win this race. strange as an immigrant nation has always been attracting the best talent in the world and keeping it. that's you know so many founder stories in silicon valley. so many stories of this space race. how we won that and so forth. i think we have a very nuance clear-eyed approach to this. i don't think we are there yet. >> with that i am mindful that i only have 9.5 hours to go with this panel. i would like to open it up to questions from the audience. i got a slew of them. one at the very back and one in the middle. first one with the mic wins. gentleman in the back. >> for all panelists, you all served in national security positions. and so if you were to go back into service as a senior national security position, what would you do differently to get bigger seated making decision table if anything? >> that's the one example just talking about evolution, i have not seen it

if they are in academia, you talk about students at the graduate level, a lot of these students spying don't consider themselves spies. many are linked to the military. a route are researchers. american researchers who have openly sold to their research and often times leaving to china with it. other times, just selling it to them. in many cases, it was an illegal or prosecuted. this is a big challenge, we have a lot of work ahead of us. >> laura: and john bradley cooper, director of national intelligence is quoted as issuing content down my concern what might be happening with election meddling coming from china. we heard about russian election meddling for years, but now the concerns are fueled by fresh intelligence of what china's leaders either did or plan to do to keep trump from being reelected. at some analysts say that china's efforts to influence u.s. elections was far more extensive and previously supported. now, senator, has your committee to the extent you can tell us, seen anything to back this up? >> let me just say, months ago we started saying the fact that china wanted

i decided to quit academia and it became my life. i thought national geographic would be an ideal institution because we can combine exploration, scientific research and storytelling to inspire people, to inspire leaders to protect the vital areas of the ocean that need protecting. what i would tell younger applicants of explorer jobs is that if you know what your passion is, if you know what your purpose in life is, just work hard at it. use the best of your qualities. if you are a musician, don't try to be a scientist. vice versa. use the best of your abilities, study hard, work hard. national geographic did not offer this job to me, i went and knocked on the door. just keep going. keep pushing. >> good advice. thank you so much. >>> making a down payment on its housing pledge. coming up, how much apple is committing to affordable housing projects this year across the state of california. >>> more than a dozen sailors injured following an explosion and fire on board a navy ship down south into san diego. the latest on the investiga

i meet accept and the french academia of science and again it may take a few weeks we are right on clinical trials where both health workers and covered 1000 patients were aware nicotine patches have been approved at record speed the french authorities also followed the researchers that vice tourists tricked sales of nicotine products in pharmacies to stop people from stockpiling patches and gum . if trials are successful that would undermine the current world health organization's advice that smoking likely makes people more vulnerable to covered 19. the french doctors say nobody wants to believe them so does that include the w.h.o. what do you make of these findings. because in 1000 is a respiratory illness and smoking causes damage to the longest and there are a number of studies out there that have been published that have found that smoking leads to more severe disease development of severe disease and puts people at higher risk for being put on a ventilator being in i.c.u. and for dying the w.h.o. also warns that increased contact between lips and fingers while smoking or even sharing

we cannot have political circles and academia leverage by the chinese in the way that they are being leveraged. >> maybe it is time for an outside commission with patriots on it. to be provided all of the information ready to different programs -- to figure out what to do because if -- too many in congress are compromise it is a huge problem i'll give you an example. nancy pelosi put swalwell on the intelligence committee she's read into these programs as gang of eight. she knows exactly what's going on now and she gets up the other week and she say a complete faith in swalwell not that she has complete faith in swalwell or american people do and there are questions about her husband dealings with china, i'm just very, very concerned here about how the culture how society -- so much of it has been bought off by communist chinese or period of decades and so the will to fight back against what china is doing is -- is rather passive put it that way. rick, i want to thank you for all of your great work, i want to thank you for your patriotism and coming forward and talking to american pe
