i don't understand why you have to pay 200,000 todd's johns hopkins to study it.hey say successful in milwaukee. can you explain that to me? >> well, it has been successful from the viewpoint of the milwaukee district attorney and from outside organizations that review these sorts of programs. milwaukee, despite having a spike in crime and homicides this year like baltimore did see a significant decline between 2005 and 2015. >> based on what though? what did the study do that reduces crime? unless the study reduces drugs, broken families, poor education and all that stuff, i don't get how a study helps. >> right. so, professor webster explained to me that this sort of program takes data out of homicide trends, tries to analyze what are the the driving factors, who are the common denominators in terms of the people involved in some of the worst crime. what circles they travel in. who knows who and how the connections are being made. so that law enforcement can target those individuals, et cetera. i mean, ms. mosby makes the point that she already knows that crime

and, david lampton is director of the china studies program at johns hopkins university's school of advanced international studies. we welcome you both. mohamed a. el-erian, let me start with you. so the dow was down 1,000 last week, almost another 600 today. what is driving this? >> two things -- the market is trying to get to terms with, first, lower global growth, particularly out of emerging markets and china and, second, the market is worried the central banks have run out of ammunition. so put these two things together, and then investors are repricing the market lower. once you start moving lower, then the trigger of all sorts of things. people have to sell so they sell

that was johns hopkins. all the famous names. people a year two out of the top 125. how was i going to be one of them? when i went for my interview, the fellow will charge -- in charge was in charge of cultural affairs. we talked about medicine. then the conversation turned to classical music. we talked for over an hour about conductors, composers, orchestral halls. there was no way he was not taking me in the program. to have somebody to discuss this with. i tell young people all the time how important it is, how vitally important it is, to learn everything. you never know what doors will be open for you. pigeonhole and categorize people. the left-wing media says carson is a neurosurgeon. but he is an idiot savant. he does not know anything else. god the kind of brains endowed us with, we do not have to limit ourselves in any capacity. the human brain is the most mexican -- magnificent system in the universe. it remembers everything you have seen or heard. can process 2 million bits of information in one second. how many people remember your birthday? let me see you

. >> johns hopkins microbiologist david love surveyed federal data on drugs found in imported shrimp. >> some of the top drugs that we found in shrimp were nitrofurans, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, sulfonamides, and streptomycin. what does it means for the consumer to be exposed to the antibiotic resistant bacteria? if you get an infection from these bacteria it can be harder to treat with antibiotics, especially if these bacteria are resistant to the antibiotics that your doctor would prescribe. >> overseas shrimp farms that use antibiotics often farm with over-crowded ponds. >> and diseases are a big deal in shrimp farming, there can be a high mortality rate in some shrimp farms. >> the food and drug administration polices shrimp imports. >> 5.5 billion pounds of seafood is imported into the united states every year and much of it ends up in a cold storage facility like this one in southern california, but only a tiny fraction of all of that seafood is actually inspected so we've come here today to find out exactly how the fda does that. >> emily morrison is a veteran fda inspecto

and so she was very aware that this was the time that they should tell johns hopkins that they wouldaise the money that was needed for this medical school if the medical school would admit women on the same equal basis as men. well, it took the men on the board a little aback and took them a while to sort of come around to the idea, but there were all these incredible women that she had contact with. and i will read you some of their names. they were mrs. leland stanford -- susan swain: of stanford university. edith mayo: -- of stanford university, and mrs. potter palmer, whose husband had built the palmer house in chicago, julia ward howe, elizabeth blackwell, who was the first female doctor in the country louisa catherine adams, who i think was a granddaughter of the first louisa catherine, the first lady, m. carey thomas, head of bryn mawr. so, anyway, these women decided that this was going to be their mission and they were going to raise $100,000 to help johns hopkins put up this medical school, and the men acquiesced and the women divided the country into 15 geographical region

take johns hopkins, if 55% black. you have large groups of black patients and a very small number of black doctors, no doubt about that. >> so what's the reaction you get from a white nation, from a black patient? >> from a white nation, so when i was younger and starting out, most people, very positive reaction by many people are wary. they are not sure what to make of you. there's some people who underestimate the they harbor some prejudice. in some cases i have pretty frank cases that were overtly prejudice. i write about some of those in the book. but i think an average most people are kind of a little wary but have to get to know them and they do talk to them they kind of, rather there's this idea of having to prove yourself which is its own challenge. made the expectation at first you're not good as another doctor. you have to work with that. >> that's something you get from your white patients or patients across the board? >> across the board. particularly it is more pronounced in white patients but black patie

doing and that is what chris hamby did and putting that together with our ability to sit down at john's hopkins and interview this doctor. after our report, that program was suspended by hopkins. the department of labor since moved to reopen every single case where miners had been denied and again and again there were many miners who died who had been determined by their own doctors they had black lung, after this doctor at hopkins said they did not, the governor reached out to take back the benefits. some were in debt for $50,000 or a $60,000 because there was a claw back of the benefits. that for me was one of the most powerful stories in recent time and led to a number of awards but more importantly it led to real changes in how the law was administered and how that program is now being looked at again by the department of labor. and it was -- partnerships are not without their issues. we all seek to have credit and try to share the credit as much as possible. there are a number of awards. the center won a pulitzer prize. we won the goldsmith award and a number of other awards for it. and it
