article entitled will america's fragmented public health system meet the ebola challenge by mark rothstein, the director of institute of biomettics. i'd like to submit that for the record. >> thank you. i'd like to thank the panel for their testimony and answering the questions. and this has been an enlightening hearing. i also want to acknowledge at the beginning that the kentucky air national guard which is based in my district is participating in this effort. at the risk of displaying my ignorance, we apparently know you can't detect it until it becomes symptomatic or contagious. is there any kind of test that would indicate whether anything's going on in the body? sometimes my doctor will say, you've got an elevated blood count, something's going on there. is that true of the ebola? would that not indicate something's going on? >> at this point, we don't have a test that would identify it. the test only turns positive when they're sick. and the test is for the virus itself. and that's why -- that's another reason besides the patterns of disease that we're confident it doesn't spread. w

was a city where government actively worked to expand opportunity instead of as researcher richard rothstein said created policies that quarantine the black population in isolated slums. if chicago's gangs had not been dispersed by the breakup of housing projects meant to confine african americans to a segregated corridor of the city, what else might we be counting other than the tally of those killed? if people of color were not concentrated in communities where they are easy targets for predatory lenders peddling subprime mortgages, what if the social economic and health disadvantages compounded by living in the wrong zip code were diminished by a government deeply eliminated 50 years ago? what would our country look like now if we made those choices then? joining me now is lisa rice executive vice president of the national fair housing alliance the executive director of the new york state democratic party, james perry, community activist and advocate as the executive director of the fair housing center and is my husband, and professor of social and cultural analysis and history at new yor

jesse rothstein has this great paper on -- at berkeley -- has this great paper that shows that unemploymentnt. these people are not lazy. it drives me crazy. whatever it is. >> a lot of words of -- >> with the latest data, with the latest data, the best work done, flies in the face of empiricists. >> we have to go to break, but back to the question of what you are essentially saying is in order to incentivize somebody to seek work you have to cut off their entire income or put them on welfare. that doesn't make sense. we'll keep talking. up next, things you can't believe get said out loud. the congressman who suggested that poor children, wait for it, should be made to sweep the floors to earn their lunch.

jesse rothstein wrote in the "new york times" this week the lack of effective teachers in impoverished schools contributes to that gap but tenure isn't the cause. teaching in those schools is a hard job and many teachers prefer slightly easier jobs in less troubled settings. that leads to high turnover and difficulty in filling positions. left with a dwindling pool of teachers, principals are unlikely to dismiss them whether they have tenure or not. but you don't have to take his word for it. last november, the department of education released the results of a study in which they offered bonuses for the highest performing teachers to move into schools serving disadvantaged students. teachers ranking in the top 20% in their subject and grade were offered $20,000 to transfer into and stay at schools with low test scores. but of the more than 1500 teachers identified, only 22% applied for the program. to be clear, tenure for teachers in k through 12 is not a guarantee of perpetual employment. education expert dana goldstein joined my colleague chris hayes on "all in" thursday and explaine

president had economic advisers gary cohen, wilbur rothstein in the room when he was planning the syriake. he asked their opinion. he likes getting opinions. he asks anyone. and doesn't see things in lanes that john kelly does. i think that is an ominous tension and will continue to be unresolved. i don't think there's anything eminent in terms of kelly leaving the white house. >> sam. >> it's sam stein. a bit of an observation, but also a question because you're sourcing here is much better than mine. i get the sense from talking to people who have talked to trump that it truly is a simple formula. if you are the last person in the room with him, you have a greater likelihood of your position prevailing. that's sort of what got him to agree to sign any piece of legislation in that infamous meeting with lawmakers. also why and correct me if i'm wrong senators purdue and mccann basically demanded they be in the room during the infamous s hole debacle. if that is the case, i'm wondering, how do you end up forging immigration deal with this white house. or is it just simply impossible beca

this was shot by charles rothstein, a very wonderful photographer.ng new flavors and new combinations in order to make the child's diet a little more varied, and so look magazine had the idea of maybe portraying that by looking at -- creating a picture here with children who were all in a kind of testing lab here trying out different foods. now, it's a cute picture, very interesting, and i think look, which was a wonderfully inventive magazine had a great idea in doing it. but it also shows how children are sometimes used as sort of props for our businesses and, you know, a lot of the 20th century was the exploitation of children in show business and in other avenues that, you know, raises concerns about were we appreciating children for their childhood specialness or whether we're exploiting it. >> that is a great shot. the new book is called "american childhood: a photographic history." there are more than 200 photos inside. thank you for being here this morning. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> and we'll be right back with more "morning j
