i think a simple answer, demographics.n 2016, president trump won 62% of white men, 52% of white women but he won no other racial or ethnic group. i talked demographics when i was on with bill maher last weekend in our discussion of the border crisis. >> what drags -- drives the lack of empathy that you're referring to is demographics. i think it's concern in certain quarters about their diminishing role in our society. the truth is that american kids, the youngest kids today, don't look like american elders and by 2045, whites will comprise less than 50% of the population. i think a lot of the bad behavior you're referring to is preying on people's anxiety about those numbers. so does the data support that sound bite? joining me, one of the co-authors of this study, dr. seinz. he's the demographer at the university of san antonio. how do i do with my sound bite? >> pretty good, michael. pretty good. >> so the recent data now shows that deaths among whites outnumbering births among whites. what drives this? tell us more ab

>> well, this is a study about the demographics and so much more of the bay area jewish community. there are many things that are exciting about this study but i think most exciting is it's the first population study that's ever been done that includes the entire bay area. that's ten counties. it looks not just at demographics but more sociodemographics about the population. >> generally, we are talking about the far east bay, what we think of as south bay including silicone valley and up north throughout napa county. >> even s on olano and of course san francisco. >> what are some of the things that we have learned? >> so much. i will say a few key take aways. there is so much to say about each one. i think one of the most important take aways from my perspective is that we have highly engaged small core of jewish people who are engaged in jewish community life and community and they're highly engaged and quite vibrant. the vast population in the bay area of jewish people are not engaged actively in jewish life and community. >> interesting. just rewinding a little bit, i think wh

weak the demographic pyramid is inverted there are more old people the young people and for many years and decades now economists and policymakers have decided that in order to rectify this demographic problem in europe we need immigration we need to bring in people from outside in order to pay our pensions and that is the immigration issue. and as long as that ideology remains in place as long as the ideology is believed by these people as it is most notably in germany then i'm afraid the problem will continue ok roland you know thing is that this this is approach with open borders but if you believe that there are open borders then there are no borders to defend i think that's the paradox of what's happening in the western world you want to have open borders let people come in but then you can't defend your border when it's necessary go ahead roland. well. look there is no starts saying like a little political entity or a community without borders never in history and unique borders wide because you have to find the limits of what needed to be a few laws and that is what the left the

beneath the surface there was sweeping transformation, economic, technological, demographic and withll of that there were rising tensions and then from the right a cable television pundit who saw a chance to take advantage of it with a new kind of populism. pat buchanan went from cnn to the presidential campaign trail in 1992 challenging george h.w. bush. he won the golf war in 1991 but buchanan said it was a waste bush wanted nafta, but buchanan said that was a sellout of workers, a sellout of america's sovereignty, america first was his slogan. a few years before ronald reagan had granted nasa ee ee eed amno came to the united states illegally but then buchanan said enough was enough. if you wanted to stop illegal immigration, he said, you needed a great big wall along the mexican border america's demographics were changing and buchanan declared that nothing less than the country's identity was at stake. >> we must not trade in our sovereignty for a cushion seat at the head table of anybody's new world order. we call for new patriotism where americans put the needs of americans fir

there is the changing demographics in this area, changing demographics in the party, changing demographicse country. that's a big part of the story. the famous line for joe crowley in new york politics, political folks nationally remember this. when he got the seat 20 years ago, it was his mentor, the former congressman who retired after the deadline, got the committee party to put crowley on the ballot request with no crowley. they asked crowley, the reporters came to him and said is that the right way to really do this? shouldn't you have the election? and he said you know what? they offered me an ice cream cone and i took it. >> that's the way they used to do it, but you can't do that anymore and the demographic change in that district is what you're seeing in that vote tonight. steve kornacki, thanks for joining us. really appreciate that. >>> when we come back, today's supreme court ruling is yet another lesson in how republican voters have been focusing so intently on the united states supreme court and the importance of maintaining a republican-controlled senate to confirm supreme c

so research from hbr showed that white men were the soenl demographic groups that aren't socially but the flip side is they could do a lot of to help and there are so many well intentioned people and one of the things that we need to do overall but would have the biggest benefit for that group and for turning great people into active allies is switch from what i think we saul know is happening now which is this call out culture into something i called a call-in culture. i won't blast you for something on twitter that was well intentioned but a miss but i will ping you privately and say, i know you have great intention, but that impacted me in this way. could you do this instead. >> could you go back. you said white men are statistically the only men -- people not punished for advocating for change. we have a privilege -- speaking for all white men -- we have a privilege in advocating for change? we have a privilege to everything, including that? >> yes. but that is good news. it means that people can do little things thatthinmp huge. this is also something our research found. so much

. >> if they want to reverse the demographic trends they are facing, they will not only have to deal, but will also be fighting against demographic and social trends in which people are having fewer children. >> to counter the trend, the government is considering lifting limits from the number of children a family can have, otherwise, one quarter of the world's most populous country will be 65 or older. an economic boom built on a vast labor supply. >> countries don't usually become great powers when they are old and gray. they become great powers when they are young and vigorous. xi jingping wants to complete that transition, and he may need to build a younger country that can pull it off. >> how did we get here? after the creation of the people's republic of china in 1949, the government trained tens of thousands of "barefoot doctors" to bring health care to poor and rural areas. the result, mortality rates plummeted, and growth rates skyrocketed. by the 1970's, china was facing food and housing shortages. in 1979, its leader, deng xiaoping, decided to limit most couples to just on

the changing demograph of the >> nancy pelosi in 2018, one of the things she did was kind of piss the cbc by going after maxine water and kind of criticizing her for some of her comments and the cbc had been a loyal voting bloc for pelosi. we'll see if that she w now,his is in a new york district, left of centerjoe ley center.she co not win in omaha, nebraska, or in most parts of michigan. but the republicans are going to say, mitch mcconnell already saying it today, look where the democrats are going, universal health oft borders. will she become a -- sort of a national weapon for republicans? >> i think what we're seeing with this race and also with what's been going o this week, is both parties continuing to push to their partest extremes. so with this race, we're seeing like a very left candidate, and really talking about these very left of policies. and you're seeing president trump, especially after the supreme court ruling yesterday, real doubling down again and again on the extreme immigration policies, the far right immigration policies that brought him to the white house. i

the demographics, signs there's some changes that would favor democrats.there are also signs there aren't. there's white in migration of conservative angelos, falling burg rates among lat teen -- birth rates among latino, the history shows those numbers are more than the ground game the actual you'ring than getting various activists together in a room to hash out heir difference to find ways to work together despite the differences to put them on the table and work through them and to build a cowboys nateed ground came that can mobilize an army of board people to volunteer as block workers. they were able to do that in '63, '64, into '75. we have not seen a ground game on that scale since. i the democrats want to turn publication blue anyway need to invite more resources and need to do what the democratic coalition did, high froms and mexican-americans who are deeply in imbedded in the community and make the party relevant to people residents daily lives and their more immediate struggles ... >> you can watch any of our past interviews and tours online by

rather than face these changing demographics.there in a district that is, joyou know, definitely no longer the majority white district it long was. starting to become majority/minority. he's an odd character as you said, very much out on his own especially in terms f s of his coziness with russia. very, very pro-russia. believes the united states should have closer ties to the russian government. he's gotten himself caught up to some degree in the special counsel probe. the special counsel is looking into meetings that he had with paul manafort, meetings he had with mike flynn. he has gone over to visit jewuln assange, of course, the chairman of wikileaks which distributed all those e-mails that were allegedly hacked by russia. he's got his fingers in a lot of these pots and testing whether the 30 years he spent in congress, the voters want to send him back, whether they want somebody who demographically matches the district now that's it's changing and whether russia will van impact on lts electith. >> there are peculiarities, w

after the near term, we're expecting demographic effects to really kick in. >> this next figure is sort of the annual shortfall of income versus cost in each rear. in last year's trustees report versus this year's. so the red line is this year's report. so what you can see is things are a little worse in the very near term, but by the end of the period, they are a little bit better. and in between, they sort of fluctuate a little bit. and the big thing in the very near term is we're expecting lower payroll tax revenue. and we'll get into a little bit more detail on that later on. after the near term, we're expecting demographic effects to really kick in. we have some changes to our assumed fertility rates in the near term. and in the longer term, mortality. there's been bad mortality experience recently. higher death rates than we've expected. which is bad for all of us, but that's actually good for the social security program, unfortunately. the sooner people die, the less benefits they get. so sort of a bad news/good news story. >> i think that covers it we

>> yes, the demographic and the politics have changed. but unfortunately the conservative portion of the republican party that the cuban american wealthy people belong to in miami have enough clout that they went to candidate trump and said, okay, we're going to support you if you support us. and for a republican in general it's best to be a hard liner on cuba in florida. certainly in south florida. i mean, i think the great example -- but it was earlier is president clinton when he was a candidate for his -- against hw bush who was running for his second term, hw had been hesitant about supporting the cuban democracy act which was in a cutoff food and medicine from u.s. su u.s. subs dairies in latin america. they really wanted this legislation because they thought with the loss castro would fall. the cuban people would rise up. so hw bush didn't want to endorse this legislation. and who do you think went and endorsed the legislation? bill clinton. because it is just such a wonderful source of money and financing. and that's exactly what

i can adjust a lot of what we do based on our demographics.hen you're out at sea? well if you run out of food, that's bad! you have to get it right all the time. if i miss a particular item, a popular item, i go from the most popular man on here very quickly to the most unpopular man. well, that's all we have time for on this week's show. coming up next week... carmen heads back to thailand to join a beach clean—up with the help of a rubbish—collecting robot. we pay a visit to an island off the coast of colombia. where not getting on with your neighbours really isn't an option. so dojoin us then if you can. and in the meantime, don't forget you can keep up with us on the road in real time by signing up to our social media feeds, where you can also share your travel stories with the world. but for now from me and all of the travel show team, it's good bye. for a weekend in june, fora weekend injune, many for a weekend injune, many of us will not fair too badly. some spells of sunshine, most places largely dry. the fly in the ointment is there a

i think you are going off to a different demographic, right? explain to us the strategy and who the numbers are. >> sure. traditionally, there has been a tendency to spend more money on republicans who have disagreed with us than to invest in those who share our values and share our beliefs. my goal is to go after democratic leaning voters and any independent thinker who wants their voice to matter. that can sound sort of naive. but here is the reality. we know that people want their children to be educated. they want good jobs that pay well. they want government that works for everyone, including expansion of medicaid, which is something we saw happen in virginia. the numbers in georgia say i need 250,000 people who didn't vote in the last election to turn out and to lift up their voices. we know we have more than a million voters who share these beliefs but have not had a candidate who is willing to invest in their voices. my campaign from the very beginning has been about investing in voter engagement and voter turnout, because we know that'

there really largely about the demographics. the age demographics are changing because of the drop. the tide is inevitable. let me speak briefly about three major items that are the changes. first, based on continuing lower-than-expected application and incidence rate to levels below what we achieved at the peak of the last economic cycle in 2007, the completion date is extended by an additional four years it is a very close. the di completion date is extended despite of the fact that incidence rate are soon to be rising more rampantly to the same rate is assumed last year. bit of a technical point, average benefit levels projected to be lower due to changes and mix of new benefit awards resulting from the progress that has been made in the last year on bringing down the administrative law judge. second, the reserve depletion date is projected to be late in 2034. this is a few months earlier than last year's report. will be january 2035. this is due to lower projected revenue from the trust funds in the forms of payroll tax rates. this is due to lower-than-expected earnings in 2016

expecthat, we demographic effects to kick in. we have some changes to our assumed fertility rates in the near term. and longer-term mortality. higher death rates than we've expected. which is bad for all of us, but that's actually good for the social security program, unfortunately. the sooner people die, the less benefits they get. so sort of a bad news/good news story. >> at the end of the 75-year period, you can see the trustees report has a smaller negative balance, so actually by that the net change in our balance is a -.02% of payroll which is a slight worsening from last last year. >> through quickly, we will not go into all of the numbers. you can see the bottom of the the with a net change in balance as -.02% of payroll which is a slight worsening from last year. most of that is due to the first line on the page which is the change in the evaluation period. we're picking up a year. every year our valuation period is 75 years long and the last is a year where we are kind of at a balance. >> that explains all of our net re

by contrast, turkey, south africa, great demographics. the entire middle east, great demographics.. old-time notions of demographics equals success are being called into question. nejra: on that high-value add theme, is china and asia going to overtake the u.s. and other parts of the developed world? bhanu: it is early to say that. let us distinguish between china and the rest. i don't think there is anything automatic, there is no assembly line in em. taiwan, thenore, china, then india and bangladesh. there is nothing automatic about that, especially in a world where globalization is on a plateau. i don't think there is anything automatic. china and korea and taiwan have made that leap, successfully. it will be difficult to argue they will overtake the u.s. the bigger question -- the rest of em? they are not looking like they are getting out of that low value added manufacturing/commodity universe. that is where the bigger problems are. the bigger issue in medium-term, you make stuff the world does not consume anymore. nejra: fascinating. bhanu, staying with us. vladimir putin tak

are witnessing a different reality about a vision of syria or engineering of syria based on new demographic and ethnic awards absolutely just so that's an interesting point isn't it because the shifting of democracy is has been one of the catch characteristics of this war and many people of course so alone is to give up the region in which they live and be forcibly moved to another part of the country completely which has happened in ghouta and other places as well and they're all being fenced in almost in a province in the northwest of the country this is one of the great fear is isn't it of civilians. absolutely and everybody knows that when the regime returns one has to give up their political rights and they will no longer have freedom of expression and they'll be frank about that those who have joined the revolution to support it openly will possibly be jailed and and discriminated against this is this of course the terrible fear and he we see it you know the big the big question is will the refugees return to syria if there is not regime change and many eight analysts are very divided

so that is part of the demographic change. the second reason has to do with why you are the expert on this and when you read a lot of stuff in the paper, it's wrong. talk about white the premises, white nationalism it is not helpful to call across the country whites the premises. that is not what is happening it is much more which is what i call we almost have to white tribes it is class not just money but educational levels with the cultural divide and it is split with the white majority and it is interesting he uses the term ethnic because my field was ethnicity with a 17 page footnote describing what it is that's it is very difficult but the one feature of the ethnic divide if you don't intermarry with cheddar, if it isn't a perfect definition but if you can't intermarry because then that goes away. this is something new in america because of the drastic decline in geographical mobility in this country. it used to be that people from the midwest would do education go to silicon valley check out california or any of the coas

changed more in demographics and it's more ethnically diverse but it's still seen those eyes looking at me. what can i do as a high school teacher to make those kids feel like they belong and they are not losing ground by sharing ground if that make sense? >> thank you for reading my book into days. i appreciate that. oak forest was a place that my family just do outside the italian neighborhood where i was quickly an outsider. i was in a place where i was the foreign weird kid. i did not have many friends because there was it was a white community at that point. we all need to listen more. need to listen very intently and listen to the people who are the quietest because they are screaming inside and we don't listen. onest who are the most marginalized and the ones who may be holding it inside. maybe i'm speaking for everybody here but for a strong people we put on of sod tput on of sod ths okay and i was shy and quiet when i was a kid and there was a lot i wanted to say but i was not brave enough to say. had anyone asked or listened or had been that person in the alley at 14 years

however, in the admissions office, rates personality based on a trait that they call demographics.ard says that asian americans have weaker personalities than other categories to get into admissions, what they really mean is that asian americans don't help us fill our racial quotas. that is what the demographic trait means. >> what's really -- what's really going on here in your view? is it your view that asians do so well on those quantifiable measures that they would frankly be dominant at harvard and elsewhere unless there were these other factors at play? >> according to harvard's own admissions data, based on objective things, test scores, asian americans would be 43% of the class. they are, in fact, 19% of the class because harvard uses criteria, quote, unquote, demographics, which is a fancy way of saying racism to discriminate against asian americans. so they're very -- in their internal data, ty're very clear that they consider race as a factor in admissions and that they use these, quote, unquote, subjective criteria to discriminate against asian americans, even though as

the demographics, again, globally are good. the question will be, as we look at the different formats and the consumer behavior s t issues will be as we go through the transition, can we continue to do what weave done, which is protect an ecosystem. right? which is the book retail ecosystem, authors, publishers, retailers, can that ecosystem continue to thrive as pressures come to bear, and if you look at the media -- various media businesses, the book business has done a very good job of getting to where we are now through the digital transformation periodnd then the next thing up will be the change in consumer buying patterns. >> thank you. let me do a little bit of an informal analysis with our audience on some of this data. so, let's see. if you are under the age of 40, between the categories of hardback and downloaded audio, raise your hand if you prefer and tend to purchase your books in hard cover, hardback. and raise your hand -- nobody cheating on the 40 thing. a little questionable. and raise your hand if you prefer a

that is what the demographic trait means. >> what's really going on here in your view?sians do so well on those quantifiable measures that they would frankly be dominant at harvard and elsewhere unless there were these other factors at play? >> so according to harvard's own admissions data, based on objective things, test scores, asian americans would be 43% of the class. they are 19% of the class. because harvard uses criteria such as demographics, which is a fancy way of saying racism to discriminate against asian americans. so they are very, in their internal data, they're very clear they consider race as a factor in admissions and that they use these quote/unquote subjective criteria to discriminate against asian americans even though they perform as well in things like interviews as other applicants. >> right. but the purpose, i guess, ultimately, and maybe harvard wouldn't say it this way, but i will as a father whose children have gone through the admissions process and so i'm, therefore, familiar generally with the way this all works. what harvard would say is w
