from yale i have the dreaded duster takes -- dissertation. somebody will ask you a question that presents you with the opportunity to do more than you ever imagine what you might do. and so i was talking to the president of the melon foundation, julie earlic. i had asked for funding for a solo show they was working on. and this was probably 2019, 2020. and this was a long set of conversations with a number of foundations trying to get my poetry book "felon" into a one-map show. i had got support from that. and julie said to me, now you've gotten support for your solo show. do you have any big ideas? >> i said we put millions of people in prison. why don't we put millions of books in prison. the books would operate as ice cubes in that the people are like the water and prison is like the glass. i imagine if you fill a glass with ice cubes you put enough in there, you begin to notice when it's overflowing. and that tells you that you need do something different. i imagine if we put enough books into prison will make us think about the people in

we spoke to yale university professor daniel magaziner about this, and this is what he told us. >> historicallyin fact, farmers have been quite oppressed in south africa. but, those are black farmers. those are the people whose land was alienated over centuries of colonization and who in many cases worked as really poorly remunerated, menial laborers in horrific conditions on white-owned farms. and so, in many ways, what he's doing is he has implicitly, not explicitly, but implicitly downplaying the reality of south african history. ali: is that what the south african government is saying president trump is doing? john: essentially, what they're saying is that he is flipping the narrative of what the true situation of south africa is on its head. so, it's a very tricky thing because south africa has always said that they want to build an inclusive rainbow nation. so yes, they want to work alongside the white farmers who have already existed, but they also want to, in some ways, find ways to uplift black farmers who have historically not had the same opportunities. ali: the u.s. government has p

benchmark that influence is borrowing cost on everything from mortgages to corporate bonds. lower yales allow rates across the economy to fall on could help bring down borrowing costs for consumers, yields or annual returns full. when pump prices rise, meaning the trump administration will need to reduce government borrowing, which will eventually decrease the supply of bonds, will make us depth more appealing to investors. besson said that they tend to yield could naturally full by increasing the supply of oil and gas, bringing down energy prices. the yield on the 20th, the bill did decline in february, but perhaps not. so the reason is the president wants invest as a concerned, trump tower of threats, and layoffs of government workers could slow america's growth, piling into bones as a safe haven alternative to follow the child stuff. markets of fiscal feet changed, designed to restore and re um, europe's largest economy. economists say germany is likely incoming government has announced plans to boost defense spending by relaxing the country strict borrowing rules. they've also said

yale's distinguished professor david blight, has formulated this paradox of black slavery through the lincoln's second inaugural address. speaking the truth, everyone both north and south knew that slavery was the cause of the war. these slaves constitute a peculiar and powerful interest. all new that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. pogo of the celebrated fictional sage of okefenokee swamp, noted the moral truism. we have found the enemy and he is us. lincoln in the second inaugural address, observed that all parties north and south shared blame for the conflict. in my resort to twain like satire in humor, i do not mean to denigrate or lessen the deadly earnest affect of the conflict. but rather, i seek to illustrate the irony of the foibles of our common human humanity. in december of 1860, on the eve of the civil war, slavery was the 800 pounds gorilla in the room that haunted both blacks and whites, impacting their liberty and obviously a direct way in the case of blacks and more subtly in indirect ways. in the case of whites, slavery, both those of the north and th

i am reminded of what i'm sorry i'm reminded what professor kennedy from yale university wrote the rise and fall of the great powers. what he noted great powers historically fail. when they involve themselves in strategic overreach he called the imperial reach but i will make it simple so you do not have to buy the book. what a nation is concerned about filling someone else's potholes than their own potholes, they fail. a shrink and peace between nationstates is a legacy of his first administration. this is the same mission he is bring into the second administration and towards this war. this war did not start on donald trump to watch. i believe he is absolute right it would not have started if he was in office and the strategy of the previous administration, smudges it takes, as long as it takes to me was not a strategy but a simple bumper sticker despite the past president trump is working hard to bring a peaceful resolution to this war even to the high priority he is placing on this goal you look at how many senior individuals exist to pitch in help negotiate peace for marco rubio, t

timothy snyder is professor of history at yale university.your perspective as one who has written extensively on ukraine and that's -- and its struggle for independence, what did you see in that spectacle in the oval office earlier today? >> what you see is the president of the united states has a little bit of trouble controlling political reality once he gets beyond the united states. the premise was that we are working towards a peace arrangement between russia and ukraine, but thus far all we have done is make concessions to russia. that's all we've done. the second thing we have done now is we have brought the ukrainian president to the white house and tried to humiliate him. we have favored the aggressor and weakened the defender. you can't really get to piece on that logic. you have to do exactly the opposite. there's a lot of wisdom in what representative lawler just said. in order to have the right people at the table, you have to have the right ellen's of strength and encouraging the aggressor and attacking the country trying to def
