dyson. and 202-748-8201, if you live in the mountain or out here in the pacific time zones. one more sentence from your book before we take goals. one of the greatest privileges of whiteness is to know the see color, to not see race and to not pay a price for ignoring it. >> that's right. many white americans say to black and brown people and others, why are you people so obsessed with race. if you want to get beyond race, stop seeing it. that's not a privilege we don't possess, we walk down the street we're reminded of it, police people remind it. people in jobs, can i touch your hair, it's different. your hair cannot be worn here if you have locks or dreds. there's a win where the microeye gregses, small slights, if they're microaggressions they're small. a paper cut is small, but can bleed you to death. in this country, many americans aren't conscious if you have privilege. if even a poor white person, if you engage with police and that's not predicated on this, but white identity that ma

dyson. thank you very much. >> guest: i think he is making an extroidinarily powerpoint and the suggestion you made at the end points out something that was said. a zebra doesn't change their strikes and regardless of the administration in office policy toward first nation people has been poor. we know obama dressed this but not as effective as necessary. even with immigration, people tend to forget he was known as deporter is chief for a while. the far more grave points, far more important point, is first nation people have not been recognized. the racism and groups or identities against the interest of first nation people needs to be addressed and it is more than giving them bingo stands and casinos to get rid of them. it is about the fundamental practice of justice and two things with the pipelines and driving under their sacred grounds is impeding on native territoryies and not recognizing their sovereignty but humanity. we talk about black lives matter, red lives matter, brown lives mat

freeman dyson was a part of the study. my favorite quote of his in 1965, saturn by 1970, he wasn't kidding, he was dead serious. it would have probably been the same cost or cheaper than the apollo program. what do you suppose the problem was? atomic bombs are nonstarter. it was a great program with a sound engineering logic behind it but taking off of the ground using nuclear weapons was not the best way to go. dyson calculated it would have only added 1% to the fallout in the atmosphere given how much nuclear testing was going on at the time. we all breathe some of it one time or another if we are a certain age and he said there are only one or two deaths prelaunch on average in the public. which sounds bad until you realize 36,400 people were dying every year in their buicks and whatever large american monstrosities they were driving at the time. in terms of raw numbers the prices too high. morally a little shifty. is a nonstarter, could have been this. if they had launched with chemical records and they got into a but,

can do so with michael dyson. it's very possible to do so provided you just begin from a pigs of civility and -- a position of civility and i'm a christian toy believe in the equal dignity of every individual out there and you have to approach it that way. i have a great number of whichs in the african-american church, the first ame church, and i try to check in with my friends and the african-american community, specially my democratic ones to fine out what i'm missing because there's a lot that ang angelo people can miss. >> host: what do you think about the fake news. >> guest: i'm going the nine inch signature judicial. fake news is any media on any platform that the purveyorer of which knows to be objective live false in his or her mind at the time they communicate. sort russian news is fake news often that purveyors know they're telephoning -- telling a lie so if they know they're telling a lie is fake news. bias is completely different. know almost every one of the oned contributors on "the new york times,"

. >> host: michael eric dyson was on to talk about his and one thing me writes is that donald trump is the most dangerousmo racist demagogue we have ever had in office. >> guest: that would overlook the fact that lot of people prior to the civil war weree slave holders and i tech -- mica michael is a friend and is a very smart guy and a very good provocateur but you have to erase all precivil war history. so i believe permanently from dealing with trump, the president's 15 times on their radio, four times on debate, i don't think he's a racist or homophobe.e. he's a developer, and i represented developers for 30 years, developerred are who they need to be, when they need to be that in whatever room they'reom in, no order to get the dial they wont done, done. dole believe that michael is right and i'd be happy to debate him. he threw out 0 question from the middle of the room to your derrick that was very funny question. michael knows what he is doing. >> host: during the primary who are you supporting? >> guest: i didn't because i was doing the debates. was switzerland. i did 170 inter

john: that michael eric dyson.e believe slavery gave american capitalists a head start because they didn't have to pay workers. so they say slavery made capitalism successful. but economist don boudreaux says the opposite's true. what do you mean? >> that's just a crazy notion. slavery has been around for about 10,000 years, since the beginning of the agricultural revolution. if slavery were instrumental in starting capitalism, why did it take 10,000 years for it to start? also if you look at the places in the world where capitalism first took off -- britain and holland -- they got rid of slavery early. look at the americas. in the northern part of the united states, slavery was gotten rid of long before it was gotten rid of in the southern part, and the northern part was the capitalist part, the wealthier part -- john: more prosperous in almost every way. >> for the rich and the middle classes in the north and in the south. john: but there's a logic to it, if you could get free labor from some workers, then those

all season changing into their first inning and with their single through the right side to score dyson1-0 mariners. they would get much worse in the third. one run with the bases loaded. he had not yet hit a major league grand slam. until then, he stuck around through the fifth, but the damage was done. and they would finish, in the 7th, piling on a run ending with five games. in 2002 it's the last time they would sweep three games it in the giants on their home field. all in their young season just 1-0. with a nice sliding catch, preventing further damage. but he quickly erased the benefits of the nice defensive play putting one near their sign, they would have 3-0 until they put it away in the 6th, the drive he could only knock down. it's 4-0 and they would continue with a base hit to drove in two more. he falls 0-4 this season as they would do very little to get shut out by three pitchers. they lose their 4th in a row 8- 0. what's the latest on the team? the ace pitcher out of action because of a dirt bike accident. this play yesterday is a nice run and catch by denard span and anot

that'll be followed by a conversation withe ester dyson who's an entrepreneur and angel investor and initiative is helping five committees to ship resources and "producing" help rather than trying to recovery. part of that strategy had a lot to do with changes on the food quad. it will be interesting, checking in on our poll. >> okay, i have to interpret that as a lot of disenchanted all right isolationists. so, i think we can close the door on this one. we continuing with our experiment, this givers us a better sense of our audience today of the food policy conference of what we are proud to attract diverse mix of folks and -- you guys are ahead of the curve. ye yeah, our interests tend to fall in these three categories. i will give you some time. i know i would responded by now. i want to recognize some of the people who have made this conference possible over the years. 40 years ago, ellen hoss started this conference, while she was with the community nutrition group. for many years after that, art yeager kept it going. he also ran an awards ceremony called the golden carrot award

esther dyson. i am thrilled to suggest this to you personally. when you call from food swamps because there is food that is bad why not create within congress a school food day where everybody goes home to his or her constituency, schools and has to you lunch with the kids. >> the school nutrition association was just here. i wish i would've talk to them .efore, that is a good idea you can get elected to congress and never visit a school meal program. you can get elected and never go on a meals on wheels visit or talk to anyone who benefits. you can never talk to anybody on snap. i think, you know, the assumption that, because you get elected to congress, you know everything, is just wrong. i'd hate to burst her bubble but intelligence is not always a prerequisite or getting elected to congress. the way you combat ignorance is that we need people locally to bring as in. invite us to the schools and the food banks. invite us to a meals on wheels visit and a hospital emergency anm where they are noticing upswing in hunger and food insecurity relate

i can with echo dyson in any number of occasions have been african-americans.it's possible to do so provided you begin from a position of stability.re and y i'm a christian joy of believe in equal dignity of every individual out there and you have to approach it that way. i've got a great number of friends in the african-american church in irvine, california, christ the redeemer church. i check in with my friends.on especially my democratic one to find out what i'm missing because there is a lot that anglo people can miss especially if they live in their bubbles. >> host: what do you think of the term fake news? s. fun going out be benign t judicial conference and they want to know my definition. fake news in my view is any media on any platform, the purveyor of which is objectively false in his or her mind at the time they communicated. so russia knows this fake news off in the purveyors know they are telling a lie. and so come if someone knows they are telling a lie, that is fake news. bias this is completely different. i know almost everyone on the op-ed pag

dyson calculated it would have only added about 1% to the fallout in the atmosphere given how much nuclearas going on sat. most of us beat breathed some of it one time or another at a certain age. and he said one or two deaths on launch in the public. that sounds bad until you realize 36,400 people were dying every year in their corvairs and buicks and other american monstrosities they were driving at the time. in terms of raw numbers, the price isn't too high. morally it's a little shifty so this was a nonstarter, which is a shame, it could have been neat. police officerbly if they have launched with chemical rockets and gotten into orbit. they test with explosives to see if it worked. i thought i'd show that. it's a putt, putt, three feet across and setting off tnt as it goes up. it shows it works. if you've got them based at the right time with a solid plate down at the bottom to prevent the astronauts from getting cooked. this thing can turning. what stopped it? the nuclear test ban treaty was signed. and then you can't weaponize spaes and so forth. the not weaponing many things was a

dyson calculated it would have added is% to the fallout in the atmosphere girch how much nuclear testingn at that time host of us one time or another at a certain age. and he said there probably would be one or two deaths on average in the public which -- sounds kind of bad until you realize that 36,400 were dying every year and buick and whatever other large -- american monomonstrosities they were driving so price isn't too high morally it is a little shifty so -- this was also a nonstarter which was a shame because it could have been really neat. preferably gone nuclear and they did test to make sure the idea would work but i thought i would show a little bit that have that was called the putt put the three feet across just setting off as it goes up -- but it shows that it works. if you have these things based at the right time, a nice solid plate down at the bottom to prevent the astronaut from getting cooked -- this thing actually can function. so what had stopped it? well nuclear test band treaty signed in 1963 that was kind of rained on their parade outer space treaty saying you ca

their voices have been muffled but people like richard linden at an it or freeman dyson at princeton john christie who was mentioned before, these are high-powered scientists who are making compelling arguments and their voices need to be heard and the political people need to hear the arguments on both sides before they render judgment and at the end of the day there is a judgment involved but you can't make appropriate judgments unless all sides of the argumenthave been openly aired out and i think the reinvigorating and encouraging a culture of discourse in science and in politics will help us make better judgments . >> we already have some of those mechanisms in place for improving drugs, for example. nih approval process in terms of funding for research and so forth so those mechanisms already exist but what harms those mechanisms i think is precisely what steve is talking about. i would have more faith for example in some of what the global warming alarmists say if they were trying to stifle so hard people with whom they disagree. if they were trying to prevent people with whom

that will be followed by a conversation with esther dyson, who is an entrepreneur, an angel investor, and whose way to build initiatives helping five communities to shift resources towards quote producing health rather than trying to recover it. part of that strategy has a lot to do with changes to the food supply. so i think that's going to be very interesting. let's check in on our poll. okay, i have to interpret that as a lot of disenchanted all right isolationists. or another interpretation. so i think we can close the door on this one, this vital question. continuing with our experiment, this will give us a better sense of our audience today. the food policy conference, we are proud to attract a very diverse mix of folks here and you guys are ahead of the curve. and so, yeah, our interests tend to fall in these three categories. did you sometime. -- i'll give you some time. i know wouldn't have responded by now. i want to recognize some of the people that have made this conference possible over the years. 40 years ago ellen haas started this conference while she was with a group
