i attended johns hopkins university. i teach now at johns hopkins university. they all rely on funding stuff. okay. id. there is no funding for the doing that hopkins gets, as it is far, it's military research components that are located off campus. and they're one of those, the largest receivers recipients. i think i hear that $300000000.00 usa id give john hopkins. said who says that it's in the usa id file world. this information they were is on the jo hopkins university website. have a look at it. i think this is the problem with what trump has done to so many scholars who now realize their research, the defending u. s. a. d, because technically you're in the pare down the tubes for you as a i do you know when they are defending, as i'm not defending usa id, i'm trying to tell you what this factual situation is and you're spending a bunch of propaganda. that's all i'm hearing from you all together for who drove on this is for this information sites that are around the world. so the from the, this is from your university website. the during the university ha

and research associates of johns hopkins university.e are all here to today to support our national scientific research institutions and the many workers who make the run and attack by the trump administration and his executive orders. we are also here loudly to advocate for strong and fair -- that provide research to investigates, empathy and duty to ourselves and our neighbors. scientific research -- as the kind of trial and error in scientific research often gets in the way of high profit and charitable values. when a child has a high -- rare kind of cancer -- we as a society value human life. we have lope salaries and sub benefits relative to the years of education and work experience we have gathered. all of us have unique work that only a few of us can do. we work long hours and sacrifice our weekends to advance our research and postpone our personal lives like starting a family or buying a home. as many of you are immigrants, i cannot tell you how difficult it is to face in life with the societal and mental health that looms over

university. up in baltimore at johns hopkins. and now we will hear from a champion for higher education and labor, senator chris van hollen. [applause] sen. van hollen: thank you, great patriots, all. are we going to shutdown the illegal elon musk takeover of the government? [applause] you bet we are. we are going to fight this in the courts. we are going to fight this in the congress. and there can be no business as usual in the congress. and we are going to fight this in gatherings like this, all over the country. because we need to shut down this illegal operation. i want to thank all of you. all of you are dedicated to protecting the public health. all of you are dedicated to making sure we do the medical research that saves lives. there is no sugarcoating this. these cuts will kill more americans. conduct research into cancer -- [indiscernible] that plague american families -- [indiscernible] more americans dying early and suffering. are we going to let that happen? [indiscernible] so, what is this all about? what is this al

let's explore this with laura blumenfeld who was a middle east list of johns hopkins university, which is also a former advisor to the us state department is really palestinian negotiating. so welcome to the w. is there any well in which you can save this time getting off the ground as well? i think the one thing that's true across the world last night is we all lost sleep . there are 2 approaches of going to try to analyze this reasonable, even though it was quite unreasonable while we witness last night. the president was easy there, bonkers or bluffing, right? he's either serious and means what he says, or this has some kind of strategic bluster. if he's serious, um, you know, it is, ask is, rarely, is matter. it is really is not the most right wing. there was a, it's a legal, it's impractical. and also it's a logical natania. the prime minister of israel already offered the palestinians in gaza. $5000000.00 a person, if they're willing to bring forward with a hostage if they're willing to, you know, set a turn over the hostages that were seized from israel on october 7th, 2023 and

we are the home of innovation and the home of johns hopkins university, the home of the nsa, the homee applied fedex -- applied physics lab, the home of fort meade into the naval academy, the home of four historically black colleges and universities. we have so much to offer in the state of maryland and i think that's one of the reasons people are so excited about the growth trajectory. david: final question, how can you bottle the happiness you have? how you get to be so happy and smiling all the time? does anybody make you feel bad about something? gov. moore: one of the things i lean on a lot is history. even in really dark times and challenging moments, i am a history buff. i think about having a chance to read about one of our most famous marylanders, harriet tubman. on my toughest days i will go back to my office in my house, and i will read on harriet tubman. then i think to myself, what am i complaining about? no matter what kind of day i'm having, imagine having a theoretical conversation with harriet tubman and explaining to her how tough my day was when i know how tough all

well, let's bring in run this name, who's a fellow at the farm policy institute of john hopkins university joins now from beirut. around a great to have you with us. so run that. what's the purpose to think of israel staying in these locations? is it a matter of security? good to be with you. i don't think it's that method of security is for as can uh, uh, you know, have the same kind of information. the same kind of security benefits through other means doesn't have to remain in these 532 outposts. so the army around around is going to jump in there. i do apologize. we'll come back to just a 2nd, but i just want to go to the 2nd number of who i'm speaking in, re add also that meeting with the us delegation. and then it says a toyota store piece and the hold would then even if it is not part of feasible at the same time, it is an opportunity for the super power to still continue to engage and positive negotiations. and discussions to lead from one another to support to one another and also to let and the less and then to for bed a need further conflict to aspire. and this is the stand adop

now he's a form of us diplomats and most guy who now teaches russian foreign policy at johns hopkins university. he joins us from washington, dc, welcome couches here. so, how does russia see the prospect of negotiations that ukraine and why would it be to ship even consider negotiations now as well? i think the fundamental fact about this movement we've seen today is that a rush receives negotiations very, very differently than does the united states or ukraine, or frankly, the west for russia. negotiations talks after table or another form of let's call it non violent warfare. they use it to get what they want their strategic objectives, which are the dom, being the dominant power ukraine. ukraine. that's for sure. it to russian foreign policy interest as a change of the leadership in ukraine. that's what they want. and maybe they have drugs at this moment that's sitting at the table with the united states and or ukraine is the best way to get that. the western view, i have, people have to keep in mind. the western view is very different. we believe in compromise. so called a win win win situ

i'm an icu physician and professor of medicine and health policy at johns hopkins university in baltimorele: so, in science, you can think of direct costs as one specific to a particular research project, the chemicals and the cells and the salaries of the researchers. but then there are the indirect costs of maintaining and replacing equipment, ordering, bookkeeping, handling hazard waste, and compliance with government regulations. rachel: the nih decision to shift the indirect costs has an impact on myself and my colleagues and many researchers across the country, because what it means is that a smaller percentage of funding is flowing into our universities and to our institutions to help do very simple things like keep the lights on, make sure we have paper and printers and supplies. carole: all projects of every scientist are being affected. so take any particular area of research you want, let's say pediatric cancer. this would amount to a 15%-20% decrease in funding for studying that. and this is an area where nih investment has already fueled amazing results. if it continues like

senator, using the power of your office to deal with the fact that institutions like johns hopkins universityalth care side by what we see coming out of the craziness of this administration? and now even on the education side, with the takeover of the department of education, you have members of the doj's efficiency team having obtained administrative emails at the department of education. as trump is now announcing that the billionaire will soon be examining the agency closely for the purposes of shutting it down. so you're sitting here watching the dismantling of the educational system in this country, the health care system of this country. our position in, in, on the global stage, because we're going to build a hotel now in gaza. apparently that's the goal. how do you put out that clarion call as a member of the senate, to use the authority and power of that position? because, to be honest, at this table, you know, we've talked about the fact that a lot of the elected leadership in the house and the senate are just ceding power to the executive, that that's why the founders created three

just shutter a federal agency, usaid, for example, has does does $1 billion of work with johns hopkins university. well, now, that's not just hurting the workers at usaid. it's hurting all these institutions who rely on that support and who are doing really good work both domestically and overseas. and so this the the shuttering of these agencies, the firing of thousands of workers, the, the, the, the proactive trade wars that we're having, this is having a distinct impact on middle class families. it's having a distinct impact on the people who live in my state and people who live around the country. >> we're seeing some attorneys general and states saying, don't trust this buyout offer, that you're getting that it's not clear that it will hold. i know your ag joined in on that, that with that warning with 11 other states. what's your concern about it that that essentially they may take it and it's not real? >> that's exactly right. i think the reason that our attorney general, anthony brown, has gotten involved in this is that they believe that this is unlawful. you know, this is not this is no

he's professor at johns hopkins university, former senior adviser at the state department. vali, good to see you. thanks so much for joining this morning. >> thank you. >> it's been remarkable to me to watch and hear from some in washington, a defense of this plan, right, to say, sure. u.s. take ownership to me. 2 million palestinians can find homes elsewhere. you know better than having them go home to a place that has been so destroyed by war. that's easy to say in an air conditioned studio in washington. the arab world has quite a different view. can you describe that view right now? how they would perceive america taking over a piece of land in the middle east and displacing its people? >> well, first of all, there is a shock and awe in the region, and there's sort of incredulity that president trump could even think about this, that he feels like the united states essentially is going to occupy arab land without any invitation by the locals, without consulting not only the people, but even the governments in the region, that somehow he's going to solve what is now seve

read from a boston review article by this man, nb connolly, who's a history professor at johns hopkins universityy attributed some of the passages from this man from from connolly to nikole hannah-jones. we did correct it at the time, but that was our error. i am going to post a link to his article. this our second nadir on all my social media accounts, and we're grateful to him for writing such a thoughtful article. that does it for me. thank you for watching. catch me back here every saturday and sunday morning from 10 a.m. to noon eastern, and follow me on threads, blue sky, linkedin, and mastodon where i post daily inside with jen psaki begins right now. >> okay everyone, i'm just going to acknowledge from the outset here that there is a lot of stuff happening right now that may feel confusing, scary, like you have a lot of questions. i mean, donald trump's plans to essentially unravel the federal government and basically gut our law enforcement agencies that's unfolding before our eyes. a federal funding freeze earlier this week shook

and actually to invite more universities to have their east coast outpost to be in washington, d.c. johns hopkins usc, they both made big investments, and in addition to our great universities. mr. balsamo: family homelessness has decreased, and time count showed that it rose 23 and 24. what specific efforts are you taking to combat the rise in homelessness? is trump right that federal resources are needed? mayor bowser: federal resources can always help. at different points in time it fluctuates. in my tenure, i have had a huge focus on ending family homelessness. we are very proud that a promise i made to close and notorious shelter in an old hospital would close and we would open humane family shelter across the city, and we did. eight shelters that house no more than 50 families. we were able to decentralize the services, so it allowed the families to get into permanent housing. so, we know that that system works. if we put the people experience ending and emergency into a smaller, better resourced more humane environment, if they can get together, they can move on to permanent housing. we ha

so we are looking to work on that and invite more universities to have their outpost be in washington d.c. but we see that with johns hopkinspened. usc has made a big investment in d.c. in addition to our great universities. >> family homelessness has decreased and the point in time count shows homelessness in d.c. rose 14% between 2023 and 2024. what specific efforts are you taking to combat that rise and hope homelessness and federal resources are needed to combat that rise? >> and federal resources can always help. i think at a point in time it does fluctuate. i have had in my tenure a huge focus on ending family homelessness. and we are very proud a promise that i have made to date notorious family homeless shelter p that was in her old hospital would close and we would open humane family shelter across the city. we opened eight shelters and we were able that allowed them to get into permanent housing. when wesy put people while they are experiencing an emergency and smaller better resource more humane environment they can get it together. and move on to permanent housing. we've done that on theng family side. we needed

was a remarkably accomplished woman that she was herself a product of johns hopkins, as well as the sorbonne and the university of leipzig and the university zurich, where she was the first person man, woman to have graduated summa cum laude. and the memory of would say the memory of man. but now we're getting tripped up in all this this gender. oh, very, very accomplished woman. her ph.d., by the way, was in the theory and grammar of indo germanic linguistics. i thought about majoring in that. oh. as dean of bryn mawr, she was a firm believer in women suffrage. she wanted women in education. and she wanted women to have the same education has managed to compete with men, the workforce in the professions. oh, later his career, wilson confided to his press secretary that he cordially detested. she was he memorably said, the apotheosis of the advanced woman. let's put her up there. that's carey thomas. he also did not like teaching women. he derided his female students as academic imposture ers who meddled in the serious concerns of life. he wrote in his diary that teaching women history in was about as profitab

thank you, i'm glad to hear the conversation about university spending as well because there's a lot of that within usaid also, 42 million for johns hopkins to research and drive social behavior, $250,000 for fiu for dei training, $244,000 for stanford to do leadership training, not life saving programs. i now recognize mr. sherman from california. >> foreign aid is a good thing. americans think that we spend 25% of the federal budget on foreign aid and want it reduced to 10%, but the fact is, it's way less than 1%. it helps us challenge china and the world. it reduces not only hunger, but migration to our borders and it helps us fight communicable diseases over there before they mutate and come here and that's why ronald reagan recognized the importance of foreign aid. mr. chairman, my fear, because i've been here for a long time. when i got here, it wasn't just democrats against republicans, it was the legislative branch against the executive branch. and we need to play that role, and as the ranking member points out, we need to have government witnesses here so we can talk about the future, rather than just be a cheering squad for the

maryland many these massive cuts will lead to over $200 million in losses to hopkins and never $50 million of losses to the universitymaryland. i may not be a republican voter, but i can assure you republicans across our country aren't seeking to stymie progress on a cure for cancer. by putting the nih in its crosshairs, the press is targeting some of the most vulnerable americans, the young child suffering from sickle cell disease, the working mom who is struggling to care for a parent with alzheimer's, the family member suffering from an opioid addiction, all diseases being actively researched by the nih. disease and suffering does not respect the boundering of partisan politics. it impacts each and every american family and it falls in part to the secretary of health and human services to do everything in his power to get us closer to cures. instead, i fear we have a nominee before us who is more interested in getting us cloture to conspiracies. and with loyalty to the man in the white house as opposed to the health and well-being of the american public, mr. kennedy is likely to follow his boss in supporting attac

hopkins, great place, to research and drive social and behavior change in uganda. what about us? what about social change in our country? $70 million for a center at purdue to research university sourced, evidence-based solutions to developmental challenges. these are massive numbers on things no one ever heard about. $10 million for mozambique voluntary medical male circumcisions. $10 million for circumcisions in another country. $9.7 million for uc berkeley to develop a cohort of cambodian youth with enterprise driven skills. teach them something about enterprise. what about our people? can't we teach them about enterprise? two point $3 million for strengthening independent voices in cambodia. $32 million to the prague civil society center, which is a very liberal group of people. i wonder how much of the money came back to the people that approved it. $14 million for improving public procurement in serbia. $486 million to the consortium for elections and political process strengthening, including $22 million for inclusive and participatory political process in moldova. and $21 million for voter turnout in india. why are we giving $21 million to india? they have a lot of mon

universities are spending all the taxpayer money on overhead. harvard is spending 69%. yale, 67.5% an overhead. isn't that special? johns hopkins, 63.7%. this would make bernie madoff blush. i stand by my -- i'll revise and extend my other remarks. all foam, no beer. the presiding officer: all time has expired on the amendment. all those in favor, say aye. all opposed, no. the noes appear to have it. the noes do have it. amendment is not adopted. mr. merkley: mr. president, i calm my amendment numbered 1207 and ask that it be reported by number. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: the senator from from oregon, mr. america -- merkley, proposes an amendment numbered 1207. mr. merkley: this amendment encourages the opportunity for americans to purchase prescription drugs at or near the lower prices that manufacturers charge to individuals in other similarly developed nations. here's what every american knows. we all invest more in the research and development to develop drugs than the taxpayers of any other nation in the entire world. so we should be getting the best price, not the worst price. this amendment creates
