that is elizabeth garret provost >> greg: can i respond to that?one says he doesn't have the right to say that. this is typical self-righteous liberal tactics. when they say, what you are trying to do is take away the right. no, we are not. this is biased dialogue that occurring on campus and denigrating higher education. we're saying you shouldn't do it. >> eric: let me be consistent. there is a big difference what this guy did and what harvard invites someone who does a performance at night where you have an option to go and watch this performance. these kids are in the classroom. they signed up for it. they are a captive audience and that is the defining line between harvard and usc and definitely not defending this guy. >> kimberly: that is why they should pull the kids from the class. >> dana: i was going to say, the provost if they do annual reviews of the performance of the professor, they ought to bring this video in and decide if this is kind of quality teacher -- he is most boring professor i have ever seen. >> kimberly: that is what it w

valuable for law enforcement here and that would be their preference, for certai i bfbi ofer brad garret i aling ut thi completely conic personality. we hear about this wonderful friend to all of his friends. it's not your usual loner who had no friends out there, and then we know what he is suspected of doing. try to help us through this. >> okay. diane, step out of terrorism just for one second and let me tell you a very quick story. when you look at serial offenders, particularly serial rapists, i've worked dozens of these cases, these guys are well liked and take their kids to the playground and go to church and go out and rape at night. the reason i say that is it's easy for people who can break their life into two areas. their bad side and their good side and are very effective at covering the bad side. i think you can apply that to this situation where both of those guys apparently were quite effective in leading this public life, hey, everything's great. it's america, we're playing soccer, and then we're driving down this road for whatever reason, death and destruction because of

joining me now is laurie garret a senior fellow for global health at the council on foreign relationsyou so much for joining us. there's clearly a lot we don't know. why is it so concerning and what do you want to know that we still don't know? >> there are many things i want to know but two big ones. what is the denominator and exactly how are these people getting infected? so the denominator question is whenever you have a brand new outbreak the first people you see are the ones that are the most ill, the ones that are terminal. they show up in hospitals. they're severe cases. what you don't know immediately is, well, okay. those are the severe cases, but how many people are mildly infected or, in fact, infected with no symptoms at all? in 2009 in mexico city we made the mistake of thinking that the flu epidemic we were about to experience, the famous swine flu, was, you know, a super killer flu because all of the hospital emergency rooms got filled with the severe cases. then it turned out for every severe case you had 10,000 mild cases and all of a sudden we realized we didn't hav

nrcc spokesman garret lansing told the national journal, quote, buzz feed is eating everyone's lunch.want to read and be cognizant of politics in a different way. in a recent article buzz feed encourages the gop to be more positive, embrace young people, and lighten up. they took the advice to heart and decided to do away with the typical features of a political website. this is the new site. it is their attempt to take everything buzz feed said and feed it through the prism. headlines about the most insane wedding dresses of all times are replaced by this one. 13 animals really bummed on obama's third birthday. this is a way to do it. is this a step in the right direction for the gop? brian is the technology writer at the technology journal and joins me now. he did the initial reporting on this. on one hand i'm intrigued by watching the success on the internet is about throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks. this strikes me as one of those moments where nrcc which has a younger staff than the rnc or nrc is thinking about this in a new way. are they onto something? i think th
