0:00.0	Welcome back to the Dirt Show. The subject for today's show is why all of Donald Trump's
0:08.7	trials, the one in the state court and the one in the federal courts, must be televised.
0:13.9	But before we get to that, there are two items of breaking news. One, obviously political
0:18.7	and relevant to this, the Justice Department has announced that Hunter Biden will probably
0:22.5	be indicted on gun charges. Remember that he made a deal whereby he wouldn't be indicted.
0:29.9	And on gun charges, he'd be put into a diversionary program, but the deal collapsed.
0:34.4	That doesn't mean you still can't have a deal. Probably there'll be a deal. But right now,
0:38.4	it looks like the Justice Department is upping the ante and getting ready to indict him,
0:43.8	whether it be for a misdemeanor, we don't know. And the other thing, which is closer to home for me,
0:50.6	is that it was announced today, this is really breaking news, that they did a ranking of all
0:55.9	the major colleges in the United States. In terms of freedom of speech, how much freedom of speech
1:02.4	there is on the campus, how little freedom of speech. And guess which school ranked dead last,
1:09.2	not only last, but got a score below zero. And that's the school I taught at for 50 years,
1:18.9	Harvard University. They got the lowest score in the country, below zero. They didn't have the
1:24.7	capacity to grade it below zero, but the actual run numbers are below zero. And
1:32.2	many of us on the faculty saw that and we started a group now for free speech and academic freedom
1:39.6	on campus. Imagine Harvard needing a group of faculty defending free speech and academic freedom
1:45.5	on campus, but we desperately need it because the administration is not helping and the student
1:52.2	body with exceptions are not helping and the faculty is not helping. So we now have this group
1:59.8	that's going to be defending Harvard. Hope it'll raise the score next year, maybe by next year
2:04.1	we'll be only second or third to last. The other schools that are very much in the low ranking are
2:09.1	Columbia, Penn. Some of the good schools and the engineering schools tend to have the most
