Authenticated Transcript and Audio

"As a matter of fact, the president of Harvard University, until the middle of the last century, personally taught the courses in ethics...How dramatically things have changed."

"If you want to go back and do some summer reading, go back and get Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, written in the late 30's, because he turned out to be the greater prophet of the latter half of the 20th century, not Orwell with 1984, as we believe. And he said, we would simply be amused into submission"

"We’ve totally...given up on the idea that our public officials should be men, as [Benjamin] Franklin put it, and women of wisdom and character...Our Founding Fathers presupposed that our leaders would be people of virtue because that’s the only way self government could possibly survive; otherwise you would need police to enforce everything."
