he is participating in the johns hopkins sit-in. welcome to democracy now! riam banahi, let's begin with you. >> we are very interested in how hopkins presents itself, concerns with health and safety at home but also its contract with ice. since 2008, hopkins has profited and made about $7 billion from its contract with ice. currently there is about $1.7 million in contracts that are ongoing. the administration puts these in terms that it is supportive of medical care and things like that rather than actually ofporting the detaining asylum-seekers. however, we see that as a kind of obstruction of the violence being an actor because they support the actual structures that make -- that facilitate the workings of ice. tose contracts are set expire this year. we would like the university andd its contracts with ice donated proceeds to something like the immigrant defense fund. amy: which is what? >> it provides support for immigrants come asylum-seekers in court cases but also other immigrant justice efforts that can be decided upon later. juan: another issue, th

a senior fellow at the foreign policy institute at john hopkins university he's joining us live from washington d.c. . there is of course a very fluid situation happening in trip to tripoli right now this is all coming just weeks before a supposed peace conference what do you make of the timing of half those assaults. it is because i believe it's because of the peace conference i think that it wants to dictate terms and wants to. impose his will not only militarily in libya but also on any political process in the future and he has always tried to do that over the years and i think sadly. and the international community over the last two or three days have not taken the strong stand that they should take in terms of naming him directly as a spoiler to political process something they have promised over the years over and over again in all of their press releases all of the u.n. meetings and i think they're with that they send a signal to other armed militias in libya that it's ok to use guns to impose a political will so what do you suppose the un is doing that do you think the inter

and john hopkins says they both say that the easter eggs have less toxins but they're still toxic so bottom line either way you do it smoking is bad for you as well and i think it. a really alarming trend right now that nick salts are so pervasive people are actually buying mixolydian liquids and so the previous generation because they say that the hit is much stronger and smoother and contains more nicotine so i think people are actually overdosing themselves. so that's exactly what's happening and that's the problem like when you read the piece that you could get more or less of nicotine you get to choose it when you get higher doses of nicotine like you just said i mean this is something that increases your heart rate and brings up adrenaline it can lead to a heart attack it's not something that you want to see young kids doing or young people or anybody for that matter so the trend is alarming definitely so very quickly how the markets reacting to the. well the markets are not liking this very much so you know here let's go through a quick board here we have a graphic for you we'

meant to have that great privilege so a lot of my colleagues at john hopkins said how do you know who you write for? and i'm very lucky because he had so much for so long with every financial crisis you can think of. so without thinking i automatically write for the general public and edward r murrow that people are reasonably intelligent. but i wish i knew how the whole system was created that the national bank system came into being during the civil war when samuel chase realized it was built on controversy so how did they pay for that they needed the national currency. but i do think it is called the south-central bank but the national bank system really was a central bank and they got everyone to buy into it. like the first national bank of cincinnati and of new york. it was spread out is what was centralized because the purpose was to create a national currency. but i always wonder what do they do? but in the beginning it was created to give the government literal currency because the genesis of the book to create the course of georgetown's take it to johns hopkins to have that p

until i became a premedical student at john hopkins in 1964, i collected i would have to say, randomlyre a few things. i collected african exploration, collected civil war history, abraham lincoln. part of that reflected the era. this was 1961, 1965. that was the centennial of the civil war. but, i was more or less accumulating books. there was no central theme at that. when i was at johns hopkins as a premed, i met a bookseller who store was across the street from a pizza restaurant that some frequented late at night after we were studying. he convinced me that if i was going to go into medicine i should start collecting medical books. in fact in the late 1960s and certainly in the early 1970s winners in medical school focus shifted almost exclusively to collecting medical books. these are just a few of the 15000 books that my wife and i have donated to mayo clinic since 2010. some of these are visually very interesting. the first one is by a dutch anatomist and it was published in 1685. this is an extra engraved title page and there are 105 copperplate engravings in the book they are
