## Transcript

It was an offer to me. It was specifically made. You interpreted it as an offer or was it? I interpreted it as an offer. I made it very clear. I don't remember the names of the people. Its almost fifty years ago. I bet you don't remember all the people you talked to fifty years ago. But anyway You know they told me this was available to me because of my accomplishments and that they would be delighted for me to do it. And I told them immediately that my intention was to become a physician, it always has been and I was very honored, but I would not be pursuing that. I also made it very clear in my book That only applied to one college.

I only had enough money to apply to one college. And I decided to apply to the college championship in college ball. And that year the grand championship was between Harvard and Yale. You can go back, I'm sure, and find the records that it was in fact between Harvard and Yale. And that Yale demolished Harvard. Let me just say one other thing. I do not remember this level of scrutiny for one president Barack Obama when he was running. In fact I remember just the opposite. I remember people just, oh well, we won't really talk about that. We won't talk about that relationship. Well, Frank Marshall Davis, well we don't wanna talk about that.

Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayeres, he didn't really know him. All the things that Jeremiah Wright said, not a big problem. Those that To Occidental College doesn't do all that well, and somehow ends at Columbia University. Well, I don't know. His records are sealed. Why is his records sealed? Why are you guys not interested in why his records are sealed? Why are you not interested in that? Let me ask you that. Can somebody tell me why, please? Why do you think they are? I'm asking you why it's sealed. My job is to call you out when you're unfair and I'm gonna continue to do that.
