. >> new york university neurologist dr. davinski is vivian's doctor. he's also the word's leading epilepsy doctors. >> a lot of them, western medicine has failed their children. >> the wilsons now found themselves in the political crossfire of pot. marijuana was legalized for medicinal use here in jersey right before christie took office in january of 2010. it was done by his democratic predecessor. but once in office, christie blocked the legislation for more than a year. he eventually signed one of the strictest, most limiting medical marijuana bills to date. just six approved stores in the entire state, and perhaps most damaging for vivian, no edible forms of marijuana allowed. which was crucial. the only option then for this 2-year-old would be to inhale it. >> talk to brian wilson. >> protests erupted across the state. and that's why brian wilson took things into his own hands that day in august. >> i have read everything that's been put in front of me. >> it became known as the dustup in the diner. >> i mean, it was all over cnn. it was national

gerry curatola is a dentist and professor at new york university. hi. >> hi.having me. >> our pleasure, doc. so, what's one of the problems poor brushing can cause? >> well, as you said, it's more than about dirty teeth -- it's really about getting diseases in your mouth, and not just tooth decay and gum disease, but it could be far worse. >> so, give me an example of how a problem that starts in your mouth can actually cause a problem for your whole body. >> well, studies have shown that diseases in your mouth can increase your risk of a heart attack by 10 times. it can increase your chance of getting adult-type diabetes by seven times. and if you're a young pregnant woman, it can have very bad effects on the term of your pregnancy. >> wow. you know, i'd love to ask you a few more questions, doctor, but i think i'd better go and brush my teeth. see you later. >> [ laughs ] that's a great idea. >> this report is brought to you by the milk life campaign. with school back in full swing, it's important to make sure you're eating and drinking what you need to get

diane ravitch profess at new york university, author of 25 books on education and advised both presidenth. bush and bill clinton on education policies. diane ravitch, good have you back on this program from new york. >> wonderful to be with you, tavis. >> let me start by asking, i want to talk to dr. deasy the head of the l.a. school district in just a second -- more than a second but later on this program. i want to start by asking you a question about teacher tenure, dr. deasy, as you know, was a witness in that case. he spoke for the plaintiff in that case. and what this decision basically said is that we're going to rethink the rules about how teachers get tenured. the teachers union, i have seen this across the country, as an attack not just on their union but an attack on unions across the board. give us what this vagara decision meant and how you view it. >> well, i read the decision. i thought it was an absolutely dreadfully written decision of the nine children who were plaintiffs, not a single one of them had a bad 2kwteacher,ny identify a bad teacher. they were planing because

in a speech today at new york university holder asked congress to raise the limit on the amount of money whistle-blowers may receive for providing evidence of financial fraud or other misconduct, something holder says is needed more than ever to combat wrongdoing. >>> but it remains true that at some institutions that engaged in inappropriate conduct before and may yet again, the buck still stocks nowhere. nowhere. the responsibility remains so diffuse, top executives so insulated that any misconduct could again be considered more a symptom of the institution's culture than a result of the willful actions of any single individual. >> current laws cap those rewards at $1.5 million which holder calls a small sum and may not be enough to entice a corporation of many in the financial industry. >>> and looks like democratic and republican lawmakers may be on the same page with the house voting on a bill to fund the government in the next fiscal year. hitting october 1, but there is a lot more than keeping washington's lights on in this congressional revolution. and here to tell us more about

andrew ross is a professor of social and cultural analysis at new york university, born and raised in scotland, educated at the university of aberdeen before emigrating to the united states and told me you are an american citizen, sometimes feeling a bit more scottish than american, depending, i suppose. if you were able to vote - and you can't, because you are not living in scotland - what would your vote be? >> i would be on the yes side. i always have been pro-independence. i don't have the vote, but i have been following things closely. i have a lot of friends and family living in scotland. over the last several weeks or so, i have detected a momentum towards the yes side of the vote. even among people on the no side for a long time. >> what do you attribute the switch to, because when cameron approved - embraced the permission to continue with the referendum, the thought was that scotland would be a part of the u.k. forever. what happened. >> well, there are many factors involved. i would say that people began to realise that their vote was going to count for something. and this

columbia university in new york and the university of hawaii are also in the running. the semi-finalists will submit detailed proposals by mid- december. a naperville man has contracted dupage county's first human case of west nile virus this year. the man.... who's in his 50's... was treated as an outpatient and his condition has improved. west nile virus is spread by infected mosquitoes. symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, vomiting or rash. more than 12-hundred people attended the funeral for the first merrillville police officer to be killed in the line of duty. that crowd gathered in honor of officer nick schultz. schultz was shot in the head while responding to a call on february 5-th. he was taken off life support two days later, and his organs were donated to six people. family, friends, and even total strangers went to the star plaza theatre, where schultz's casket was covered with an american flag. his police chief says he last saw schultz when he gave him a new official ball cap. >> what not to my office. i handed to him. i said, be careful out ther

. >> joining us is pedro nogara, new york university, pedro, good to have you with us. what's going on in crstled, students and teachers are protesting what they call censorship. is that fair to call censorship or a discussion what needs to be taught in history classes? >> i think if the school board got its way it would be censorship. we've seen other districts in texas, similar action he by appointed boards of education with its attempt to not only kind of imposes a version of patriotism on students but to take evolution out of the curriculum not to discuss or not to teach the effects of global warming. so this kind of ideological team we could deal with in a lot of the country. >> the battle is waged from both sides, just as you said in texas the struggle over whether to teach evolution or creationism. happening elsewhere in the country about history and what kind of american values to teach in schools. so the school board argues, well, the new framework for the ap history courses just don't emphasize american patriotism, doesn't emphasize american values and focuses

. >>> joinings us to discuss this is jeannie, a democratic strategist, professor at new york university, and dave leven that will, senior report at the center for integrity. jeannie, for a while it looked like the obama administration was eager to make immigration reform, republicans may overreact, shutting down the government and the political equation would be back to where it was an i can't remember ago. that's caping changed. is that because the republicans are not threatening to take that action. >> i think the obama administration backing off, because them taking action on administration is a bad sign for democrats running in the key races. you mentioned many of them. if he takes action on that, he is going to hurt them. they told him that. the democrat pollsters told him that. he should never have promised to do it in june. >> it only hurts the senate democrats if republicans don't overreact. if the voters say "president obama took the action", and not going to the polls thinking, "the republicans are shutting the government over this", it sounds like the democrats and the white

a professor of sports business in new york university joins us. let's talk about it. t week, the nfl adopting a new policy on domestic violence. a first offense now comes with a six game suspensions, banned for life on a second offense, but can appeal after a year. the new rules apply to all nfl employees, not just the players. you maintain in his case, he could see more than a six month or rather six game suspension. >> he could. one of the exacerbating factors the commissioner wrote about is that he would take more harshly actions against pregnant women or others. >> it's believed that his fiancee -- >> is pregnant. >> will the league wait until the investigation is over or will they act quickly? >> that's the key question. i think the commissioner has to get into the facts of this and find out exactly how bad this appears to be. if there is a real situation where there has been serious violence, he can suspend kind of proactively, saying he's a danger to the team and the employment community. otherwise, if he chooses to wait, that would probably be the easier circum

joining me is ann lee, adjunct professor at new york university. professor lee thanks for coming in today. >> thanks for having me. >> correct me if i'm wrong here but at the heart of these protesters we have cultural and political differences between hong kong and mainland china. how different are these two areas since 1997? >> so the real issue here is not just about democracy. but it's really an issue about trust. because if you look at how hong kong was run, before '97 it was a british cloin. colony. they enjoy fewer rights under british rule than than under chinese. before they were british, they had no vote and no right to who was going to run the government there. so that actually giving hong kong a lot more rights than they used to have. they never had universal suffrage. the issue though is that when britain was running hong kong, they were willing to compromise with the hong kong citizens. so like when they said they were going to raise the taxes on transportation, for instance, and the hong kong citizens protested, the british government

went down there in beginning i spoke with a lot of the kids, they were a bunch of rich kids at new york university, columbia, they did not want to come out of school to drive a cab, that are not promised to home, 80,000 dollar job with a bonus, and until they get that, they will stay in a park and cause trouble. >> my first job, i did not make a lot, i had the best boss. she out the me, the expectations of how pardon work lasted me. charles: was it your mom? >> no an amazing woman. the points is, my personal story, aside, that there is an shift between attitude and expectations within the gen xers and millennial, which i straddle between the two, just in seeing the millennials, there is a very little incentive, this is generalizing lookal this pew study, a lot of those answers come forward. charles: i want to build on what tracy said, there is an old saying when you are young, if you don't vote democrat, you don't have a heart, and if you are older, you don't vote republican you don't have a brain circumstance this a typical thing that human being go through. >> i voted for al gore, my mother is r

summit, we're joined by stephen cohen, professor emeritus of russian studies and politics at new york university and princeton university come also the number -- author of the number of books . his latest piece in "the nation" is titled, "patriotic heresy vs. the new cold war: neo-mccarthyites have stifled democratic debate on russia and ukraine." to democracy now! talk about the latest developments, both the decisions out of nato and what is happening on the ground in ukraine. >> one of the latest development, is what juan said about kids. a lot of kids have fled. traditionally, the first day of school is september 1. there are about 50,000 to 70,000 kids who needed to have started school. ukrainiana lot of kids will not be going to school because they're living in refugee camps. that is the story. this is a horrific, tragic, completely unnecessary war in eastern ukraine. in my own judgment, we have contributed mightily to this tragedy. i would say historians one day will look i can say that america has blood on its hands. 3000 people have died, most of , many who could not move quickly. one mi

michael williams, former advisor to the state department, nato, pentagon and professor at new york universityght now to walk through everything that we're looking at. you know, i think we should begin with what we've focused on the last two hours, which is this video of this second american beheaded steven sotloff. and to your point, as we watch the president head off to ultimately wales for this nato summit, in terms of the isis threat and coalition building, how does he get other nations on board to help fight this? >> that's a great question. the president will be looking to build a coalition in the wail summit coming up in europe to deal with the russia situation and needs to look at doing that more widely in the middle east. he needs to consider his options tactically on the ground on what he can do with u.s. military forces, which are the quite quoo limit but also what are the allies are doing. lots of people are complaining about the u.s. not doing something but they're not moving themselves against the organization. and so the u.s. needs to encourage allies again in europe at the wale

. >> while i don't know the answer but there was a study done by new york university and a show that women rarely have ambition to be an elected office so they asked women and girls of all different ages do you see yourself as the mayor, would you ever run for office and overwhelming it was no, no among the women and yes, yes among the men. the only group that had aspiration to be in public life were people involved in competitive sports. so maybe keep all your girls and sports a new will be more willing to get in the game. i think it has to do with the notion of being not afraid of failure. when you played a competitive sport, you learn early on just because you you lose it doesn't mean you don't get back up on the field and play hard the next time. so i've been having girls play sports is very helpful because you are not afraid of failure. so in a political context a lot of them will say i don't want to run for office. i hate the negative ads. it's too nasty and i'm not doing it. but if you stated that woman well that's all true but it's not about you, it's about what you are fight

. >> she admits she was forced out of the sorority at new york's hofstra university last year. they said it came after an investigation after kira's supervision were called names and made to perform physical task to the point of bruising and exhaustion, but miss america whose platform is combatting domestic violence says differently. >> i was not involved? >> you stood in a line and recited information or you have a few sleepness nights krafrting, things that were meaningless tasks. she says she was ultimately kicked out because of an email over a sorority part. >> i made a joke and that was take and out of context and forwards to the national office that we would make the evening scary for the pledges. >> and the miss america organization is standsing by their winners say that kira has been fully transparent with the organization about her termination from the sorority. >> miss america says show is taking the controversy seriously and would tell kids that look up to her it's okay to make mistakes. she is trying to make the best of it. >> thank you. >>> firefighters have nearly

he's now director of the "center on international cooperation" at new york university. thanks for joining us. i'll start with that very question. how important was it for the u.s. to get this agreement and why? >> it's important because it allows us to manage the transition toward afghan self-reliance on security much more effectively. afghan security forces still require a great deal of u.s. assistance and logistics expertise and, above all, i should say, funding, and keeping those forces there makes it much more likely they will obtain all of those. >> brown: given the sensitivities that margaret warner just referred to in all of this, remind us exactly what these troops will do. we refer to training and assistance. what does that mean exactly? >> it means that system of them will be working in headquarters. a few of them will be working at division level in the field. they will not be engaged directly in combat activities. but there's a lot more to running an army than fighting. there is record keeping, logistics, targeting, definition of strategy and so on. those ar

he's also a global research profess or at new york university. day they made the ceasefire deal you were on the show and you said it sort of freezes the status quo on the ground. you remember on, you remember, krista freeland was on after you and disagreed with your assessment fa you i didn't know capitulated. >> absolutely they capitulated. that is the point. they had the belief. i don't know why they had it that either the west would come to their aid military. pretty clear they never were. or that they would be able to defeat the separatists and the russian groups on the ground inside ukraine. that was never going to happen. and so finally the ukrainians stopped the offensive. and started their willingness to talk not with moscow, but directly with the separatists on the ground. they refuse today do that before. >> lots of governments do, they never wants to talk to these guys on the ground because it elevates them to a level of legitimate that i no government wants to give them. >> i don't blame them. i feel bad for them but the fact, is look

. >> robert bolland is a professor of sports business at new york university, a former sports agent andoins us this morning. it's always great to have you. why do you think levinson really came forward with this email? >> this is a very complex story. i think the basis of the email coming forward is the nba from the donald sterling case is actually asking owners to go through and find sensitive material that might be out there in statements. it may be also that someone had the statement and was going to go forward with it. i think there are private reasons driving this, including maybe his own desire to get out of his own franchise. it seemed like a very strong statement to amputate one self. >> i asked this question when the donald sterling case came to light. are we looking at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these racially sensitive issues and is this a much larger crisis? >> sterling would think so. if he's going to sue the nba, i don't think he'll get a lot of damages, it's a fishing expedition through dirty laundry. probably everyone at some point in their life has said or

news on many fronts. from the outrages of the nfl to more assaults against women in uniform and at college. one student at columbia university in new york, a survivor of sexual assault, began carrying her mattress around campus. she was tired of being overlooked. tired of waiting for change. and that was the best way she could think of to draw attention to the dangers facing female students. that image should haunt all of us. i'm very pleased that president obama is supporting a new effort to address sexual assaults on campuses across the country. just think about it. we asked so much of our young women. we ask them to delve into fields like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, where they haven't been well represented. we ask them to go to college or technical school, even though it's often really expensive and they end up with hefty student debt. we ask them to study hard, to work hard. we ask them to lead. we ask them to take responsibility for caring for children and aging relatives. and to do any of these, let alone more than one or all of them, they face so many obstacles, still. so voters have a choice in november. a
