[ applause ] good evening from nyu center for the performing arts here in new york city. i'm honored to be joined by an all-star panel for a conversation about women, children and poverty in america. i want to start t by asking you in advance of the conversation to thank this guest panel for giving up their time for this conversation. thank you for joining us. [ applause ] i want to mention also at the top of the conversation that the conversation is being heard live around the country thanks to pacific radio network and specifically in the great city of new york on wbai. so please thank wbai for carrying this conversation live. [ applause ] and specifically it is good to have our public radio family join us for these conversation. i want to jump to the conversation and introduce the panelists as i get to them. i want to jump as quickly as i can in to what i know will be a good conversation. for those just tuning in we will do this for three nights on pbs and we are delighted to be on the campus of nyu. let me ask you

it's on administration of criminal law at nyu laul host this hour and 25 minute event. >> i'm delighted to welcome you. >> you know what important issues they tackle and what great panelists they get, and actually, very recently nyu press published on a prosecutors in the boardroom using criminal law to regulate corporate conduct. she will speak in a few minutes and tell you all the important stuff that you should know. i'm just a filler to make sure everyone sits down before rachel talks. then you'll also hear from rachel in the third panel on race sentencing and the problem of mass incarceration. rachel is one of our nation's leading criminal law scholars. she's written some of the most important work on sentencing over the last ten years and has also cast herself in, has basically started this new academic field of looking at criminal law as part of the system of administrative law and regulation. that's been an extremely powerful paradigm, and rachel's work has been enormously recognized for its path breaking nature. she's written some very important briefs recently. both on the sid

chris hayes and michael crowley and washington bureau chief for "time" magazine, and a nyu law professorhe spin from the right, if you go on any blog, if you listen to any republican lawmaker at this point is this is a tax, see what you get here. >> and i don't think that's going to have a lot of traction because people aren't going to actually pay this tax. they're certainly not going to pay this tax before the election and the big open secret about this bill from the beginning is that almost no one's going to pay the penalty anyway, it's an unenforceable penalty anyway. so the fact that in the abstract a court found this constitutional acceptable under the taxing power, i don't think this is going to persuade undecided voters one way or the other. >> i hope you're right that people click from the sexy headline that you're going to be taxed and the -- for people to understand that millions of people will be covered. it got lost in the sauce because of some of these headlines. >> the çintermoderate of court- if they had done the opposite, would have been a massive political defeat for p

as i said this conversation would not be possible here at nyu if it were not for the generation support of the american federation of teachers. to please welcome their leader randi winegarten. i can jump right to this because the link to education or the lack of a quality education and poverty is so well established in this country. that's the one thing we don't have to debate. even republicans agree there's a link between miseducation and lack thereof. so no debate there. so the what is the link between poverty and the child's ability to learn in the classroom? >> i'm glad you asked that question. my colleagues here are so much better at the statistics than i am. let me just start by saying thank you. we don't ever talk about poverty enough. it's always a one off and the fact that you are making this a priority so that we shine the light on poverty so no one can say it can be ignored. thank you very much. [ applause ] i find it in my field just morally reprehensible that the debate is a total false choice of the moment you utter the word poverty if you are a schoolteacher you immediate

joining me now is one of our favorite guests from the nyu medical center. he over sees 1400 doctors. also a budget of $800 million. good to see you in person. you just hear about these outrageous prices and then we also hear that at that particular hospital four cents on every dollar is in fact collected. so outrageous prices but collections as well. what happens to the money here? >> the costs of what happened over the last 20 to 30 years. hospitals get paid under contract and negotiate with insurance companies. it is a bit of a game honestly. we want to inflate our charges as much as we can so that when we negotiate with the insurance companies we get the best reimbursement so the costs, you know, the charges are no longer necessarily relevant to what the actual costs are. but a little secret, sanjay, most hospitals know what their costs are and we just try and make it all balance out in the end. >> yes, four cents on the dollar so it wouldn't be surprising if something is 25 times the price. let's say someone has a hospital bill right now and they're say

that was followed by a scholarship to the polytechnic institute of new york, now nyu poly, and on to a master's degree in mechanical engineering at columbia university. my mother saw education as a way up and out of the projects. she made whatever sacrifices were necessary to see to it that we had an opportunity to a good education, and then she insisted that we take advantage of that opportunity. all the graduates here today have that same opportunity. don't even -- don't take it for granted. don't take it for granted. all of you will have immense challenges. you will immerse yourself in a world full of opportunities. i have given some thought about what my advice to you would be today, especially since i have you and you must listen to me, and i boil it down to five things. so here they go. first, i would encourage all of you to follow the example of xavier and embrace change and learning willingly and with a sense of excitement and wonder. the university is approaching its centennial anniversary. think about that. almost 100 years. it has survived and excelled and reinvented itsel

first, i want to quickly thank rachel and anthony barko and the nyu center on the administration of criminal law for inviting me to participate in this conversation. what i wanted to -- in response to david's question talk about is the ways in which race is disgust. so often when this conversation or when this topic was raised and we tend to focus on issues of character. so are the police rational or are they racist when they stop african-americans or other non-whites at much higher rates than whites and is george zimmerman a big on the or is he a concerned citizen? is trayvon martin a victim or a thug in training? these are ways in which we typically discuss race and what i want to suggest is our focus race and character and conscious racial bias. we mask the ways in which we can still achieve racially disproportionate consequences and so the reason for this, in my view is something called suspicion cascades. these are the systematic and predictable errors in decision making that occur because of the way that we all think. so i just want to talk about that very briefly. the way that our min

in new york city, we've joined forces with cornell university, nyu and carnegie mellon as well as the institute of technology in israel appeuniversities as w as in canada and india. we know the future of the global economy is tied to the discoveries that are made by university educated researchers and innovators and if those discoveries happen in new york city, we know the companies spin off from them will start in new york city. now, i have no doubt that many of you here today will be a part of these discoveries. your work will reshape our understanding of the world, everything from the origins of the universe to a cure for cancer. for the nonscientists here, you, too, will have an important job to play. you business and finance majors, you may be providing the capital for the discoveries to be brought to market. education and journalism majors, you may be writing or teaching about those discoveries. nursing and premed students, you may be talking to patients about them and you future lawyers, yes, lawyers always have to be involved in everything we do, you will be needed to protect

know what important issues they tackle and what great panelists they get and actually very recently nyu press published the proceedings of the first conference published last year on prosecutors in the boardroom using criminal law to regulate corporate conduct. i know that was very influential set of papers and very influential volume. i would like to thank the centers faculty director, my wonderful colleague who is a professor of regulatory law and policy and she will speak in a few minutes and tell you all of the important stuff that you should know about the conference. i'm just a filler to make sure that everyone sits down before rachel talks. and then you also will hear from rachel in the third panel on race sentencing and the problem of mass incarceration. rachel is one of our leading criminal law scholars. she's written some of the most important work on sentencing over the last ten years. and has also cast herself basically started this new academic field of looking at criminal law as part of the system of administrative law and regulation. and that has been an extremely powerfu

i mean, i'm now at an nyu fellowship in new york, the whole city is about europe and germany trying to get the political economy of europe. i think this country is rea reactivizing europe and realizing we are the utmost partner on earth for the united states and that you have stakes in what is happening, and i think that this is one of the best sort of unintended consequences of the euro crisis from a transatlantic perspective. >> do you want to comment on that? >> yes, i'm sort of a broken record on this. this discussion, we just don't read anything, and joseph jaffe had a great piece the day before yesterday, i encourage you all to read it, make sure you had copies here or we'll have copies. the -- if we don't, and it starts with economics, i mean, unfortunately. my old man used to say all the time when i was growing up, "money isn't everything, but it's just about everything." it starts with economics. you could say the internal market and the internal market has to be transatlantic and if you don't have that, if you don't have the economic growth you can't pay for anything else. an

began teaching at usc where he taught from '68 to '72 and where he was in 1972 to 2009 and he is now at nyu. richard is also one of the rare academics who made the transition to becoming a public intellectual and did so without giving up his scholarly work or the people who deeply value his scholarly wochl, gumption is shown by being on this panel as well as several others. next, tony fallzone who is to my immediate left. your right for me is the executive of the fairious project and a lecturer at stanford law school. it is a project that we started about six years ago that is designed to both clarify and expand the boundaries of fair use in copyright. tony came with a strong background to do this sort of work. he was a '97 graduate of harvard law school and clerked for moskowitz in california, and he mitigated i.t.is qaaes before coming to stanford law school in 2007. while directing the fair youth project he's won a number of important cases against the likes of the joyce estate and yoko o no and for those of us who are deep beatles fans it doesn't matter what side we were taking as long

c-span: what did you do before that, right after you got out of nyu? >> guest: i went and lived in west berlin and tried to be a novelist, very unsuccessfully; wrote three really dreadful short novels. came back and went to work for a little trade paper in new york city called energy user news, that the editor in chief of that was bob butler, who you now know as robert olen butler, and he was writing his first novel then, and it just turned out to be this extraordinary group of really energetic journalists, and we've all since gone on to good things. c-span: which book is this for you? >> guest: this is number two. c-span: and what role did your wife play in the book itself? >> guest: all i did on this book that she didn't do was the research and the first draft. we worked very closely. her name's margaret knox. we--we met when we were reporters at the atlanta constitution in 1985, and we very quickly quit and moved to africa, and opened a freelance news bureau, which we did for three years, to serve american and foreign radio and newspapers, and we've

david novak is a certified financial planner at nyu.is question about student loans that we got on the streets here in new york. >> is there a particular student loan, i guess, organization or whatever that would be the best one to take out my loans through right now? >> what do you think? >> most of the student loans have been taken over by the federal government. it used to be you could do them through the banks. the banks mainly do supplemental loans. these loans especially the stafford loans allow for the interest to not be accrued while in school. it allows for a lower cost oerve time for the students. i'd recommend starting with that and those programs. >> there has been a lot of talk that student loan debt as it piles up in this country will be the next shoe to drop especially when they have a harder time finding jobs. when you look overall at student loan debt, how much is too much? what are we seeing on average? >> i think we're clearing at the tipping point. as a nation we have way too much student loan debt. we have about a t

. >> let's bring back vice president gore and michael waldeman, from the nyu school of law.ue of citizenship united has turned campaign finance upside down, let loose this tsunami of money to no good effect. as a first amendment matter, the case may have been right. the consequences have been horrific. mr. vice president, what do you think we should do to solve this problem? >> well, i am afraid that it's going to require a constitutional amendment. i am fully aware of how difficult that process is. and how it should be only used as a last resort. but having looked at the legal analyses of this problem, i don't see any alternative. i don't think there are adequate signs that the members of this court are going to change their minds. i think that the majority is hard set to try to push this line of cases. justice stevens made a good point. persons who live here and work here who are citizens of another country are not allowed to make a campaign contribution. i have no problem with that restriction. but corporations, some of them have no loyalty to this country. a lot of them

doris day, professor of dermatology at nyu medical center. >> thanks for having me.ick: martha, good advice up here. martha: certainly is. rick, thank you. so the governor says, from florida, says he wants to make sure if you vote in his state, you're really allowed to. but the feds say that they are violating the law. now both sides are filing suit in this and there are new details in the battle against voter fraud. plus this. >> i'm slowing down obviously because there are people in the crosswalk. happened so fast the my niece said the car came around me and hit them. he flew up in the air like a rag doll. rick: heart to watch that one. you have to see how it ends. we'll show you. >>> hollywood ending in the nhl season for the very first time in their history. they have been around for 45 years. the l.a. kings can say they're stanley cup champions. the kings completing a fairytale season with a 6-1 victory over the new jersey devils in game 6 of last night's finals. structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of

i'm hoping to go to nyu in january. i've put that on hold for about five years now.tion has always been very important to my family. so no matter what your accomplishments are in the sport of gymnastics, i believe that bl get you pretty far with an education. i know that i'll be involved in the sport for the rest of my life. hopefully creating a show or tour or summer camp. i'm not sure i would coach. leave it to my dad. >> he's obviously pretty good, your dad. >> he is. apparently so. >> living proof. >> yeah, living proof. >> what do you think it takes to be an olympic champion? >> it takes a lot of hard work. a lot of discipline. a lot of courage. motivation. and it's very hard to find that sometimes. especially on the days when you don't want to get out of bed. but i never took a single holiday off. i was the only one in the gym with my dad on christmas day, new year's eve. >> do you feel like you've missed out on the youth. when you see them going out and having a good time, there must be moments when you wish you could go get wrecked tonight. maybe there are no

but i'm really grateful now with this work she's doing on television and the work she does at nyu ande course she's teaching at columbia, that she's still willing to be so act initiative our foundation activities. she really cares about this stuff and she's helped me do a lot of work at the foundation, tried to improve the managements and just managed our massive growth. it's fun. i'm grateful to her. >> she's got the best of her mom, the best of her dad. >> yeah, she got her father's energy and her brothers brains and character. she's something. >> we're out of time. how do you feel? >> great. as far as i know, i'm doing fine. i really feel good. >> still on that diet? >> still on the diet. yeah, i'm trying to make it, you know, as long as i can here. >> no meat, no chicken -- >> no dairy. >> no dairy. and i'm trying to eat less white -- >> what does that mean? >> no processed bread. fewer potatoes. less rice. you know, fewer cashes that turn into sugar in your body. when you get older and particularly if you've had heart problems, you got to be really sensitive to things you eat --

. >> let's bring back vice president al gore and michael waldman president of the nyu school of law.with us. the issue of citizens united has turned campaign finance upside down, let loose this tsunami of money to no good effect and just so it's clear, i think as a first amendment matter, the case may have been right but the consequences have been horrific. mr. vice president, what do you think we should do to solve this problem? >> i am afraid it's going to require a constitutional andm amendment. i am aware of how difficult that processes is and how it should be only used as a last resort but having looked at the legal analyses of this problem, i don't see any alternative. i don't think there are adequate signs the members of this court are going to change their minds. i think they are hardset. justice stevens made a good point. persons who live here and work here are not allowed to make a campaign contradiction. but corporations, some have no loyalty do. some have online said we don't -- openly said they don't care about helping the united states. how come they have the right to m

and david novak is a certified financial planner at nyu. this first question for you.sten. >> if i'm interested in buying a home, should i lever up to buy a home? >> i don't like lever up. >> sounds like 2007. >> it is a great time to get a mortgage. if you qualify. you know, rates for the 30-year fixed rate mortgage actually creptly hit a record low, 3.7%, the lowest r since 1950s, since the 30-year has been offered. so definitely that's the case. if you have good credit, a 700-plus fico score and you can afford it. you've had the savings and you' done the disciplined work to be able to afford a home, then i think it is a great time. but don't overextend yourself. >> 30 year fixed always the safest? >> if you're going to be in the house long term, a 30-year fixed is a great deal because of how low the historic interest rates are. but you also have to look at how long you're going to be there. if you're there three to five year, does it make sense to get a 30-year mortgage? you may be able to get an adjustable rate. maybe you're going to be retiring in 10 or 15 years a

thank you again, keesha, from nyu law school, brian darling from the heritage center. >>> today willtime just before midnight of time. enjoy that second. they're doing that to make up for the ernl's slowing rotation. the first so-called leap second since 2008.ç right now at the home depot, buy four gallons of paint and get the fourth one free. this is new york state. we built the first railway, the first trade route to the west, the greatest empires. then, some said, we lost our edge. well today, there's a new new york state. one that's working to attract businesses and create jobs. a place where innovation meets determination... and businesses lead the world. the new new york works for business. find out how it can work for yours at thenewny.com. . >>> now to this week'sç three g money headlines. we've got summer spending, how do you feel, and made in the usa. morgan brennan from forbes is here to make sense of those three subjects for us. good to see you again. >> thanks for having me. >> let's talk consumer spending. school's out. do mom and dad break out the wallets and continu

. >> for more, i'm joined by democratic strategist, professor at nyu, bob shrum. okay, we've got attorneys, you've got attorneys, let's go fight. what's happening here? >> look, the first thing i've got to say that rick scott knows something about fraud, because he was involved in the biggest medicare fraud in history. but there's no evidence of voter fraud in florida. the officials in the state say it. they go down the list. i think there have been only a few cases in the last ten years. this is really an attempt to go back to the post-reconstruction south, to pass jim crow laws on voting that disenfranchise african-americans and hispanics. it's the disenfranchisement as a way to dominate, because they don't want these new folks or these folk who is suddenly have the power and the vote to be heard, because it threatens their vision of america. you know, we do have, as you said, federal laws here. the confederacy did not win the civil war. and those laws ought to be enforced. george wallace stood in a schoolhouse door. now you've got rick scott standing in the pol

i'm hoping to move to new york and go to nyu and start in january. i've put that on hold for about five years now. education has always been very important to my family. no matter what your accomplishments are in the sport of gymnastics, i believe that will get you pretty far with an education will get you far. i don't know if gymnastics competitively will be in my future. i definitely know that i'll, you know, be involved in the sport for the rest of my life. hopefully creating a show or a tour or maybe a summer camp. i'm not sure i would coach. i'll leave that to my dad. i don't have the patience for that. >> he's obviously pretty good, your dad. >> he is. apparently so. >> living proof. >> yeah, living proof. his own daughter. >> what do you think it takes to be a champ whereon? to be an olympic champion >> obviously it takes a lot of hard work. a lot of discipline. a lot of courage. motivation. and it's very hard to find that sometimes. especially on those days that you don't want to get out of bed or if it's raining outside and you just want to

. >> disrespect to the officers is a zero tolerance policy in nyu unit.ve him a break for making threats to a correctional officer, it's not a good thing. it's not a good practice. hello, mr. madrid. the reason we brought you out here today, we're going to hold a unit management team meeting. i think you know why. this conduct report issued for threats, verbal abuse, and gestures and displaying unlawful order. inmate madrid was on the phone approximately 40 minutes. at 5:40 p.m. my correctional officer told nathan madrid to lock down for next shift. he yelled up [ bleep ]. i turned his phone off at that point. i walked to the window and told him this is a directive to lock down. he was told approximately five times. during this time inmate madrid was telling me you're [ bleep ], girl, you're [ bleep ]. if you're writing me up, i'm going to make it worthwhile. inmate madrid locked down and then started banging the door with a stool. he continued for a while. inmate madrid was informed that the incident would be a behavior log and a misconduct report. okay.
