8:36 am
>> as editor remnick brings a cool perspective to everything he does. but he is acutely aware of the responsibility he carries. having achieved all that he has, there's one title david remnick does not want. i know that you have told people you don't want to be the last editor of the magazine. >> i don't. why would i?

8:39 am
>> osgood: are we spending too much time looking at these? the question for contributor paula poundstone. >> almost everyone in our country y addicted to electronics and riddled with denial. when i talk to people about it they get defensive they say it's not addiction just something they enjoy. really? i love tolay ping-pong, i love to practice the drums, i love to tap dance, but i have never even once tried to figure out how to do any one of those things while driving in such a ways tha the cops couldn't see. because i am not addicted to those activities i just enjoy them. there's a huge difference. screen devices wreak havoc with the brain's frontal lobe, diagnosis of adhd have taken a steep rise. yet evenhen presented with that information parents often won't hear of p ptecting their kids from the harmful effects of screen devices. kids love 'em, they say. yes, they do. some kids would love heroin if
8:40 am
i'm told after initial vomiting stste it can be a hoot. we didn't know this when we first brought these shiny new toys. now we do know. still adults aren't doing anything about it y.? because we're addicted. addiction hampers judgment, you see it. everywhere you look people are staring at their flat things. we're terrified of being bored, no one drifts or wonders. if robert frostad lived today he would have written, whose woods are these i think i'll google it. screens are tearing away our real connections, ads for family caca shows every family member on a different device. restaurants are putting tablets on their tables. these restaurants claim they're providing tablets just to make ordering easier. gee, if saying, may i please have chicken fingers is too difficult, wouldn't we want to work on that. the tech industry has profited from the every child must have a laptop in the classroom push,

research shows that the brain retains information better read from paper than from a screen. and students who take notes by hand are more successful on sts than thosese who t te those on a computer yet art, music, sports, play, healthy meals and green space, things we know help the developing brain are on the chopsing block of school districts' budgetsts annuauay. even knowing this at the suggestion that we get screen devices out of our classrooms and away from our children children, people gasp, but they will need them for the world of the future. our chchdren will need fully functioning brains for the world of the future. let's put that first. >> you can't stop us all. >> osgood: ahead.
8:42 am
profile. if you're doing everything right but find it harder and harder to get by, you're not alone. while our people work longer hours for lower wages, almost all new income goes to the top 1%. my plan -- make wall street babas and the ultrarich pay their fair share of taxes, provide living wages for working people, ensure equal pay for women. i'm bernie sanders.

8:47 am
and bring it back a aund to the modern day. >> this also happens at a time where there is this discussion about the wage disparity in hollywood between actors and acqresses. >> the's a wage gap in most jobs, in most positions i think, it particularly right in hollywood. it has been for a long time. >> it is my intention to astonish you all. >> it's no coincidence that her desire to play strong female characters. >> i'm paralyzed with happiness. >> has led to many f fm projejes adapted from classic works of literature. >> they just the strongest roles. there'sseason that great literature is adapted time and time again it has these brilliant characters. >>ulligan knows her film choices may have given her a certain reputation.

8:49 am
about. >> just a few years later she would find herself back on broadway. only this time starring as nina in checkov's "the seagull." >> there's a line where my charactera young actress she wants to be on stage, everyone needs the stage she looks out across this lake says, i'm dreaming. i remembebe the firstst night when i came on stage i shade line, it felt just a complete dream come true. >> mulligan's dream got even bigger in 2009 when hollywood sat up and took notice. she starred in the british coming of age film "an education" which earned her an oscar nomination and comparison to audreyy hepbubu. >> what if i got married. >> married? >> she played the 16-year-old girl dutifully living up too her parents' expectations until love
8:50 am
in mulligan's own life it was acting that almost came between her and her family. >> when you tolol your parents, i want to be an actress. what was the response? >> they wanted me to go to university and then pursue actingnce i had a digree. i went off did audititns and lied about where i was going. it was the most deceitful i've ever been. probably the biggest fight i've ever had with my parents when they found out. >> you paint a picture of being a very good child. did you ever have real rebellious phase? >> when i was 16, i asked to have a party and i've never had a party before. i had a super heroes party at my house and it was complete disaster. the police came twice. there were cigarette burns in the carpet.& it was carnage. my parenen were so disappointed in me. >> i have to ask, what super hero were you? >> i was a teenage mutant ninja turtle.

8:56 am
and even better they got to attend a reunion full of sailors who served onn the yorktown. sailors who gave jack and carter certificates naming them honorary members of the yorktown crew. > this is going in my room. >> i don't know what to say. this was just awesome. i mean, official member of yorktown. it's been my dream. >> whoever said hisisry is irrelevant o oiously never fell in love with it. >> we don't know about how we've changed his life, but we kno that he obviously changed ours. >> osgood: still to come. travels with the piano guys.

movies? >> osgood: are striking a
8:58 am
chord with devoted audiences. e cowan shows us how they do it. >> there's no easy way to describe what you're about to see and hear. there's no point in trying to label it, either, no musical genre really quite fits. >> i likik to say that it's familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. >> there's no rule book. there's no specific musicic theory that we stick to. >> we jyst know when it feels right, youou know? guys.
