so very much in favor of the columbia university proposal. it has a lot of similarities to some of the research that cap has put out there. yay for full refundability, yay for monthly payments and yay for recognizing that a child allowance isn't going to have catastrophic labor force participation effects. i don't know anybody who would not work because they were getting $2,000 or $3,000 a year to help raise kids when kids cost so much more than that. those are helpful points and i think it's helpful to spur these kinds of bipartisan discussions. the main area of concern i have with fam's proposal is the pay fors. so the idea of taking away school lunch to pay for a child's credit seems a little ironic to me. it seems as though you're almost taking away lunch to pay for dinner or taking away lunch to pay for housing or some other kind of basic human needs. children are whole people with a whole host of needs. if we're paying for this with other payments that are helping children, it seems to me we're not making the progress that the columbia

was jewish a law professor at columbia university. one of the great -- authorities on international law. at one point he consulted the state department. hewitt said -- one friend was a practicing orthodox jew. so frankfurter, very jewish until 15. cast it all off, becomes jewish again at his funeral. >> he says to a friend, shortly wantn'tis staff -- to live as a jew but i want to die as a jew. >> so much for jewish influence during his 22 years on the court. so, we're up to justice goldberg. he didn't belong to synagogue his whole life. >> he and his wife were close friends -- they were in chicago. milwaukee. as teenagers in the zionist movement. he grew up in chicago. in his class at northwestern university. could get a job in one of the big law firms, but got a job in a small jewish law firm founded by the two picture brothers. if this sounds familiar -- and the family that eventually started -- the hyatt hotel chain. >> can we get back to spirituality? >> oh yes. i'm going to take my watch up to remind me. spirituality was interes

as michael mentioned i teach at columbia university.is pleasure to get outside of the classroom and be at a book festival like this one because i think about history as literature. i think it really can be told in a very creative sort of way and i think about the book that i wrote here. although it is technically is a history, i like to think about it as a non-fiction novel. i think what historians we're forced to tell a true story. we need to think about both those terms. we need to think about what makes it true. we think about the story aspects of history, narrative aspects that have appeal and draw history in to the lessons we're trying to impart from the past. in terms of my book, the subtitle gives away the plot to the book, it is called the texas slave who became a mexican millionaire. it is about william henry ellis born in a small town not too far from here, victoria, texas, some of you may know. he eventually moved to san antonio. he has an office here on military plaza in san antonio. along the way, then he moves to new york

well, for more, we go to joe stiglitz, nobel prize winning economist, columbia university professor, and chief economist for the roosevelt institute. he is the author of numerous books, most recently, "the euro: how a common currency threatens the future of europe." joseph stiglitz, welcome to democracy now! can you respond to the budget that has just been revealed? >> it is like everything else, it is made up. you could say it is a collection of lies put together. it doesn't make any economic sense. i don't think anybody has looked at it can fathom the economics. you mentioned one thing, the 3% growth rate. which is the largest deviation in estimate relative to the cbo on record. when i was chairman of the council of economic advisers, we wanted to be responsible and we always were conservative and very careful getting the views of everybody. one, to make sure our numbers were reasonable. he has made no pretense to be reasonable. what is striking is while he assumes there is going to be more growth, if you look at the budget, it isesigned to reduce growth. ,e cuts out support for sc

joined by carl hart, chair of the department of psychology and a professor of psychiatry at columbia universityhe's the author of "high price: a neuroscientist's journey of self-discovery that challenges everything you know about drugs and society." professor hart just returned from the philippines where he participated in a two-day drug policy forum conference. tony papa and carl hart, welcome to democracy now! whatl hart, first responder jeff sessions is doing come this escalation of the war on drugs in the united states. >> well, let's just be clear. i mean, one of the things -- we heard outrage about what jeff sessions is doing. let's be clear, everybody knows that the war on drugs as it has been fought since the 1980's has had a disproportionate negative impact on specific communities. black communities, latino communities. everyone knows that. what jeff sessions is doing is advocatingor he is being engaged in racial discrimination. so let's call jeff sessions what he is. jeff sessions is a racist if he takes on this action. it is clear. we know it, so let's stop lying around with it. anth

been at the top, illuminating our society, good to have you back on this program, sir, from columbia university. >> nice to be back here. >> so the trump budget is now out, at a balance or glance, what do you make of it? >> well, i think it's pretty much what you thought, slashing basic programs. you know, he ran on a platform of helping ordinary americans, not cutting medicaid. and what we're seeing is his -- so quickly going back on his promise. the one positive thing seems to be sticking with the family leave policy. the kind that one of the things that was a pillar of hillary clinton's platform. >> we'll come back in a second, i hope. let me stay with this first point that you made which is that he with this budget has gone back on promises that he made during the campaign to a significant slice of the base that supported him. what do you make of that, number one? and how long before that base figures that out? >> i think it's a clear pattern of demagoguery that was so clear in the campaign. it was very clear when you pointed a cabinet made of plutocrats you are not going to be focusing on

scientists at columbia university believe the former model for determining extinction risk was flawed. they looked at the maps for 18 bird species created by the international union for conservation of nature, which measures qur species are spotted. the scientists found that many of the areas included in the map are not suitable for the species so they shouldn't be included. they said the drastic reduction in range sizes led them to conclude that these birds and many animals are at much greater risk than they ever imagined. >>> a family in ohio had a big surprise dinner guest from right here in the bay area. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg showed up for dinner at the moore household in newton falls on friday. it's part of zuckerberg's challenge to meet people in every state and talk to them about their struggles, way of life and the future. one report says he instructed his staff to choose families of democrats who voted for president trump. now, the family only had 15 minutes' notice before the billionaire showed up at their door. >> staff people just said i work for a very wealthy phil

you know there is i guess some of the work i'm doing at columbia university where developing a campaign to amend the punishment clause of the 13th amendment, basically it makes you a slave when you go to prison. hopefully that will begin the conversation to really look at real reentry because there's no real reentry into society. when i got out of prison in california i got $200 and a bus ticket if i needed it. here in new york i think they give you $40. and they spend 60, $70,000 keeping you in prison and plus you're doing slave labor . getting $.50 an hour to work in the furniture factory so when you, thinking about the campaign that highlights not just mass incarceration but reentry because the recidivism rate is 70 percent so at 30 percent that make it out here, nobody ever really hears about. some of them. i mean, i've been in prison 30 years. >> god bless. so i mean, can you talk about i guess in the theater form, what kind of campaign would you see if you were performing a piece on stage? how would you frame that because i saw you do a visiting room. >> that's the play that's bei

trump's speech, i am joined here in the studio by gary sick, a senior research scholar from columbia university's school of international and public affairs. he served on the national ins us.il of foreign relationss she serves on the secretary of homeland security's advisory council and previously served in the obama and bush administrations. preeivelt-g gary, there seem to be a couple of recurring themes in this speech. one the leaders in this room must stand up against terrorism and 2, iran is a common enemy. what do you think about the president focusing in on those two themes? got into office.d a lot sincehe he met with a lot of islamic leaders and come to a conclusion that they are not all that bad and you can work with them. in fact i think he's discovering he needs to work with them. with regard to the other side of that and the way you do it is to adopt the position that all of those airbus are takin -- arabse taking. i don't believe there were any other represents of say kurds or shie that wershia were there. we share your view completely that iran is the bad guy that everything that goe

he is also chair of the phd programme in communications at columbia university.w york. we should be straight about this. the president is absolutely entitled to fire the director of the fbi for any reason whatsoever. for donald trump and his supporters, this is the democrats looking for excuses as to why they lost the election. this man needs to be surrounded by adulation. he cannot abide what he ta kes to adulation. he cannot abide what he takes to be disloyalty. he thought james comey was disloyal, along with sally yates and others. general flynn. there will be others. he needed a commitment from james comey. apparently james comey needed a commitment from james comey. apparentlyjames comey was invited to the white house previously. donald trump wanted to say, let me show you how big my thing is. and can i count on you? comey said "not in the political sense." donald trump needs slaveish obedience. we don't know whether thatis obedience. we don't know whether that is true. people at the side of james comey said he denied absolutely that donald trump was not und

according to research by the center on poverty and social policy at columbia university, 56% of children are, quote, low income as compared to 43% of adults 18 through 64. families with young children bear the heaviest burden, infants and toddlers among the poorest members of american society with almost half living in low income families. families across the board have been facing a financial squeeze, child related costs have skyrocketed in recent years, the cost of childcare, the cost of education, the cost of housing come of the cost of healthcare. from lack of government funding to daycare staffing. this represents 30% of the rising cost associated with pillars of the class economic security since 2000. we have an obligation. we have an obligation to do what we can to help households cope with these rising costs especially as wage failed to rise with them. economists found families with young children receive the smallest tax credit. poor young children are nearly 50% more likely to be ineligible for the child tax credit than older children because their families earned too little. t

. >> sunday at 2:20 p.m., columbia university professor john mcharter on the controversies around andptions of sounding black in his book, "talking back, talking black." >> i think that we need to get comfortable saying black people have a slightly different sound because they often spend more time with one another, just like white people sound more like one another because they tend to spend more time together, and that's true of all human groups. that's not racist. it's true and harmless. >> and monday at i 4:30 p.m. eastern, former president george w. bush on his book, "portraits in courage." >> and the fist guy i painted was major chris turner, and i iting next to him at a dinner, and i said why are you here? he said because i can't get out of my mind seeing a buddy of mine killed. and i paint pictures -- or photos, and as i'm painting turner, i'm thinking what that must be like in his mind. >> for more on this weekend's schedule, go to booktv.org. >> next be, treasury secretary steven mnuchin testifies on president trump's 2018 budget request, financial policy and why finance ref

. >> a child allowance proposal in 2015 which is much closer than the columbia university one. i'll go through why i think that was the right approach. i have positive and negative feed back and then sort of general thoughts about the political moment we are in and why that idea is an idea of whose time has come. so i think it's really important. the research and the long term outcome is striking at the right age group caps proposal similarly. one difference is that we kept the base ctc as a thousand dollars fully refundable. i think that the young child tax credit is also important because there's a big mismatch between parents peak earnings years. it's a quarter century mismatched. so at the same time you're getting time off of work you have a little less flexibility in your schedule because you are caring for young children. you're early in your career or job. so very much in favor of the proposal. it has a lot of similarities they have put out there in the summer of 2015. on sam's i think similarly monthly payments and recognizing that, you know, a child allowance isn't goi

so in april and may, this -- columbia university is one of many places, one of many college campuses ross the country that becomes consumed by these sorts of protests, the violence, were -- where the administration of the university becomes a target of student discontent, not only in the context of the university. columbia has been expanding its campus and expanding into predominantly black neighborhoods and razing homes and building new administrative buildings. that became a flashpoint for discontent. but also discontent talking about the war in vietnam, how research universities are complicit in the warmongering machine of the u.s. government because they are doing military research. they are researching things like chemical weapons agent orange , and napalm, being developed at university campuses. so 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 on many campuses including this one, there are increasing protests and acts of violence against university properties and violence which students are caught up in. the increasingly militant stance of these very privileged young people, these people whose parents

i went and used his papers which are up at columbia university and you can follow this. all the time he has touched -- everything time he is touching base with ernest he stays with him and they talk about this. he said in his letter. thafr move to the left, moderates desseert him. this is one of the pieces of hate mail he gets. this eventually leads to the bay of pigs. his home is in cuba, castro, liked hemingway just fine, and you live in a gated community through one of us. but hemingway feels that he has got to chose and he winds up leaving cuba and he is ambivalent for a while and thinks maybe i can go back, maybe i can't. after the bay of pigs in april of 1961, cia-led invasion fails and he realizes you cannot have it both ways. you have to be american or not. he would never be comfortable saying i want to be just a cuban. he comes close to that. in his heart of hearts, he says i am always an american. it is a terrible fight and he has to give up all this political involvement that is coming to a head. he has to give up his home in cuba and pay for the moving to the

i went to columbia university, as you get older, you get more and more conservative.hen i want to college, part of the problem was i felt like conservatives didn't talk to me and i didn't understand the level that i do now how government is run and why the government is so dangerous and part of my mission has always been to try and communicate to young people and speak their own language and for me, when i was 23, a guy in a suit with a super cut behind him, i probably would not have shown up to that. i think he does good work, but i do feel like on some level, i feel like i understand millennials to a degree, and i think we have to speak their language a little better. >> harris: on that topic of conversation, it's not welcome enough on college campuses that you would not have a lot of outreach. uc santa barbara, i dt see it on the campus. it was the quieted section. something had to make it that way. >> meghan: and i was younger, people like kennedy who is a libertarian on mtv news, i knew her politics, there are ways to communicate that is effective. she had a big
