[applause] professor mcmahon: thank you. this goes up, so i get to play with this toy. it is really a great honor to be here this evening, and before i begin, i want to thank the supreme court historical society for inviting me, the griswold prize committee -- which i think made a fine choice.

initially, i think it was brandeis who defined it as a right to be let alone. >> hinojosa: oh, i would love to have that right to be... (laughs) >> well, does anyone have the right to be let alone... >> hinojosa: i don't think we do. >> ... and still participate in society? >> hinojosa: i don't think we do at this point. >> and then, subsequently, it's been sort of, uh, evolving into a right to be able to, uh, define yourself to the outside world. in other words, that you might have control over your personal information. in this world that we live in now, private corporations, advertisers, third-party, uh, "numerati," which is made up of the mathematicians who use very sophisticated algorithms to look into large databases to find patterns so that they can anticipate our behavior and ultimately maybe control it. so, they sell this information after processing it to third- party advertisers who, uh, then know how to hypodermically, one-to-one, suggest that we buy a certain thing or do a certain thing... >> hinojosa: oh, my gosh. >> ... because they know what kind of decisions will give

john: brandeis, berkeley. >> some of the in-house card cancellations or they withdraw but who gets towho speaks on campus? one of the things we are seeing is students particularly in the case of commencement they had a say in terms of who will address them. >> let's talk about trigger warnings. but it says number one we may be dealing with stuff that is dramatic or psychologically if we have that issue let me know in advance. john: students to the need this before. political correctness is not worse. >> but that doesn't mean the professors are using their authority in the classroom. john: with columbia there should be trigger warnings. >> if you talk about rape give students a heads up the they talk about rape if a professor teaches to moderate students in one year those who have been sexually assaulted the last 12 months shouldn't that reflect the fact of speaking to a classroom full of people? john: so you said i will warn you? >> this week's reading includes sexual assault. john: arizona state pedestrian pathway walked only zone is a micro aggression to the safety of people. >> tha

brandeis once said that state government, local government, are laboratories of democracy and the house is more like the lion's den of democracy. but it seems to me -- we should be able to figure out commonsense solutions with the economic problems that face every day americans, like investing in research and development. invsing in education and job training. investing in technology and innovation. investing in transportation and infrastructure. investing in the american worker in a way that makes sense. because the deck has been stacked against them. the african-american worker or the individual within the african-american community that is desperately trying to seek work -- and we are suffering from double-digit unemployment in this recovery when other communities seem to have been able to get back on track and our unemployment numbers are still higher than the collective number during the great recession, that's a scandal. we should all have a problem with that. but the debt -- deck is generally stacked against the american worker since the early 1970's. the productivity has increas

tom: i want to mention the bond route of yesterday, catherine mann is a wonderful economist at brandeissaid one single sentence, europe is doing better. i am sorry, much of this is a good news story about a europe. vonnie: they did not raise forecast yesterday. brendan: anastasia amoroso is making noises like he wants to talk. anastasia: a good european story, but the reason why we say we want to invest in european equities, yes mario draghi wants volatility to not create a one-sided trade position, not to say to investors, you can invest in safe haven bonds and you will make money, he wants to crowd investors into a riskier position. not too much so there is unwanted typing. tom: what is critical is your expertise on knock-down effects, everybody focuses on japan. warsaw is riveted on berlin. what will be the outcome to the emerging market world within all of these major central-bank actions? vonnie: the biggest -- anastasia: the biggest worry that the fedal reserve raises the short-term race and the money emerges out of the markets . this is not 2013. a lot of the emerging markets hav

justice brandeis said that the right to be left alone is the most cherished of rights. the right to be left alone is the most prized to civilized men. let us be clear, we are here tonight because the president continues to conduct an illegal program. the president has been rebuked by the court, the president has been told in no -- in explicit terms, the president has been told that the program he is conducting is illegal. now, the president owe pines on -- opines on television, he says anybody but me. but you know what? the president started this program without congressional permission. even the authors of the patriot act say the patriot act in no way gives authority to the president to collect all of your phone records all of the time. if there ever was a general warrant, if there ever was a generalized collection of information from people to which there is no suspicion this is it. we are not collecting the information of spies. we are not collecting the information of terrorists. we are collecting all americans citizens' records all of the time. this is what we foug

justice brandeis, of course, described state governments as laboratories of democracy.nsition now from a laboratory of democracy to the house of representatives, which i think is the lion's den of democracy. notwithstanding the lineup in terms of who's in the majority. i was struck when i first got congress sworn in in january of 2013. and of course, this was the same moment when barack obama was being sworn in that same month for the second time as president of the united states of america. and so as a new member of congress, all of us, we had a robust freshman class. we were invited on the capitol steps to participate. we were seated way up top. and i quickly realized that the wonderful thing about sitting on top is that you can see everything that was happening. the president of the united states the first family was right there with them out in front of us. more than a million americans from different regions, different religions, different races. all there to participate in this democratic moment. but what struck me the most was that in close proximity to barack ob

. >> lewis brandeis an old supreme court justice, said the states are the laboratories of democracy,formula to keep this country very happy from the stand point there are a lot of people that do believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. but more importantly, as i travelled the country, wa people are talking act is how are you going to get this country back on track, what are the policies you're going to put in place. and i go back to if we'll let these states compete against each other with economic policies they'll make the right decisions and this country will be stronger economically and that's what people really care about. >> governor, we have seen in the last 23 hours three pretty severe terror attacks in tunisia, france and kuwait part of a wave of terror. it has increased. it's not just our imagination. why is this happening? >> well i think the president stepping back whether it was in libya, whether it was in egypt, obviously we had the opportunity to stop isis and syria by funding the syrian rebels early. i completely agree, had we funded the peshmerga in nor

$7.8 billion, according to a study cowritten by peter petri professor of international finance at brandeis university." i think that's exactly accurate. we're not going to have an increase in sales of automobiles in japan. they've got a $4 million surplus surplus -- $4 million automobile surplus capacity. they want to hire their people and they want to sell automobiles in japan by producing automobiles in japan and not importing them. they're mercantileists in their approach. they've successfully resisted the penetration of their automobile market for decades and it's not going to happen under this agreement. it's just not. but if we reduce our little 2.5% increase on automobile imports to america that's on the japanese as some sort of balancing effect for their failure to allow their markets to be open, we'll increase imports to the united states. and i'm not condemning japan. i'm just saying that's how they operate. and we need to understand that and be more effective in defending american interests. so what we hear from the promoters of this deal is we believe this trade deal will incre
