( laughter ) >> rose: the president of nyu. >> the president of nyu.me on the board and we have had many lunches over the last five years figuring out what i would do. and at one lunch about a year and a half ago he said i have this idea. the world needs a school, an institute that studies cities from all aspects. nyu has many of the piece but i want to start that kind of an institute and i would like you to be heavily involved in it. i thought about it and thought i owe a lot to cities. i grew up in the city. the opportunities i had came from there and i thought this is a very good thing. what really made for me is i'm an entrepreneur. i'm on my fifth business now. i start need of them. and this is a start-up. we're going to start a new thing combine resources. it was perfect. it was a teaching institute that was going to do more than teaching. it had great leadership, john sexton and ricky revesz, here today, and it had a faculty, both established and new that knew the most about this. i thought here we are. let's go. one thing i hope this institute

[cheers and applause] >> stephen: please welcome nyu president john sexton. boom! mr. sexton thank you for coming back. can i call you john? >> john is it. >> stephen: john, thank you for coming back. good to see you again. you are the president of nyu and also a teacher there and your new book "baseball as a road to god" is based on a course you taught there what do you mean baseball as a road to god? jesus said that no one gets to the father but through me. are you saying that jesus is baseball? because there's no jesus in baseball -- there's some hey-sus but there's no jesus in baseball. [ laughter ] >> the point of book is, stephen, to go directly at the proposition you put on the table. i'm a catholic. >> stephen: i'm the catholic. [laughter] >> the point here is that those of us that were taught as we were that we had the truth, with a capital t. >> stephen: which we do. >> should be a little bit more humble about that. >> stephen: i am. [ laughter ] >> and open ourselves up to the fact that baseball is a road to god just as our religion is a road to go

a psychiatrist who was an executive of the nyu medical center, founder of nyu's child study center, herival organization. joining us now is andrew ross, he's professor at nyu. he's a critic of these payouts. tell us, professor, what's wrong? this is a private university, they can do as they will with their money can they not, what's wrong with that >> it is a private university but also nonprofit entity and educational institution. and while these kinds of practices are fairly common and some people justify them on wall street, they are not appropriate in an educational institution, especially if you look at how the other employee ranks are compensated and especially if you consider -- nationally and at nyu right now, our students are graduating with a debt burden which is astronomical. stuart: so you would redistribute this wealth, so to speak, and give it more to the existing faculty, lower down the totem pole and also give it to students, would you, redistribute those assets? >> certainly, that would be a beginning. what we're calling for, however, is more transparency, more fiscal

i was just at a panel at nyu about women and the law under this nyu's first annual conference on women in the law. the reason i was there as my mother was a speaker. she was a nationalist ossetian women lawyers and started an annual survey. first a sociologist who choose growing up she was told she had to be a teacher at the age of 40 graduate from law school had was a major part of an two major law firms. she always felt very upset by what she saw and how the treatment of women in law firms even though she was to be men should partner at a major law firm, she started annual survey of law firms across the country in which she found his 15% of women today in 2013 make equity partner across the board. roughly 15% of women are able to make equity partner in law firms across the country was the statistic they found. that's actually really sad. somebody got up and said you know, a lot of times women leave and climb the himalayas or the law firm says people if our law firm and make a want to do great things. you know, that's not really the point. don't climb the himalayas, but the question w

and let me bring in professor 6 constitutional law at nyu school. thank you so much for joining us. you heard pete there, at least the feeling there, we are looking at 5-4 striking down doma. and kennedy's remarks regarding congress's actions, 17 years ago, and whether they should have taken this action that was passed in the house and senate, sign bid bill clinton who now has said that doma is the wrong decision at the time. what do you make of what we heard from the justices today? >> so i think pete's analysis is totally excellent and i think the only thing i would ood to it is to say there is a jurisdictional question as to whether the court can even hear the case. under article 3, there is a case or controversy requirement, where it is not just the right issue but right parties have to bring the issue. >> isn't that similar to what we heard the court say yesterday about prop a that it should be there at this time? >> that's exactly right. i want to emphasize that that same jurisdictionalish sue before us in this case as well. the court may take that as well in this case, saying

. >>> up later, nyu professioners aswa trk h smais they dontaran.re stocks still cheap given where we are right now? he will answer that question later in the show. >>> one of our traders is making a move in sporting goods reta retailer dick's sporting goods. >> yesterday i said i was going to look at and i did look at and i did buy it. here's why. with companies suffer fred being too conservative in the inventory management. so their cold weather gear really didn't sell because we had an unseasonably warm winner. when the cold weather did come they didn't have the inventory to meet the sales that were coming in because they already marked down and they got rid of it. i would much rather have a company orrer on the side of being conservative than lugging around inventory that's not selling. the stock's still relatively inexpensive. goldman added it to their conviction list today. and basically, it's the only major player out there in sporting goods. sports authority is not a great shopping experience. as part of the team took it public actually year

marc siegel, associate professor of medicine at nyu's medical center. he's the author of the inner pulse, unlocking the secret code of sickness and health. >> jamie: also with us, dr. david samadi, the vice chairman of the department of neurology. doctors, good morning to boast you. great to see you. >> jamie: i will point out we're all wearing blue because march is colon cancer awareness month. we were all thinking about it this morning. it's the third leading cause of cancer deaths among both men and women in the u.s. in fact, it's estimated that in 2013 about 51,000 people will die from colon cancer, so dr. siegel, we know a bit about it. we he know we should get checked. what else do we need to know? >> let's start with the fact that we should get checked. that's one cancer we can really check and know what we're finding. we have over 100,000 cases of colon cancer per year and 40,000 erectile cancer. over 80% of this can be prevented if you screen with a simple colonoscopy over the age of 50 routinely. earlier if you have a family history or certain

money and time as training teachers as i became a teacher i think my big skill coming out i went to nyu and bachelor's in elementary ed. i could thread a projector with the best of them and my career in the 70's and in the last panel "if you had all the money what would you invest in?" . i would invest in education and we're not investing in the future of the children and the in the country and the global future of our world and i agree absolutely with everything you said. we're short changing our kids and not giving teachers the resources. there is mold in the teacher's work room. if i worked in the building that many children go to school in i wouldn't go to work either and in answer to your question there is a priority here about education that's not quite right. >> and while we're earmarking money i would totally support that and i feel that we should train teachers in digital media. you can't teach cooking out a kitchen, so we need to bring digital media into the classroom so people can practice in the environments they're in all the time outside of school. >> and i would say that

dorsey spent some time in new york attending nyu when he first came up with the idea for twitter. >>magine if dorsey beat wiener, twitter takes down wiener again. >> i get it. he's also a billionaire, that helps. >> cash is king in this city. >>> history channel's miniseries "the bible" retells the story from the holy book is bringing in a record-breaking audience after last night's episode. everyone's talking about a controversial character that was introduced, though. satan. viewers think he resembles the president. i see a little bit of resemblance. the question is, was the actor cast because he looks like the president or is it just a coincidence in the history channel has not commented. we bring this up because we did report back in the day of a story of the -- of president bush's head on a spike, it looked like president bush, and hbo kind of commented and said that it was in bad taste and vowed to take it off their dvd. >> i think that guy looks like the emperor from "star wars." >> yeah, i can get that. >> a young emperor. >> i can also see the resemblance there. we'll see ho

according to a study by the nyu center extreme commuting is on the rise, especially in texas.r commuters make up 13% of the workforce. despite the economy, more americans are opting for marathon commutes because they're taking advantage of higher salaries in one area and lower housing costs in another. super commuters typically make less than $40,000 a year. the nyu study also finds some extreme commuters are stuck, unable to sell their homes while others would rather work far from home than uproot their families. contributing to the trend are mobile devices like smart phones, tablets, laptops. they make it much easier to connect to the office while on the way to work or working from home. the fastest growing super commuter community included not only houston and dallas but new york city, los angeles, and chicago. and the fastest growing super commuting trek, john berman, boston to new york. that is a super commute. >> that's beyond 90 minutes that's insanity. >> i talked to people in scranton, pennsylvania, coming in here and that's far. >> it's far. and you're sensitive to g

i was talking to clay shirky and those who don't know clay shirky he is a professor at nyu who was just really ahead of the curve in terms of the effect of on line media on social groups and how all this stuff works in terms of media and society and people. one of the things he pointed out was we have a situation where "the hunger games" movie came out and a lot of fans of "the hunger games" book suddenly realized there were characters in a book who were black in the movie and they didn't know they were black in the book. they started posting all this racist stuff on twitter. and then all of a sudden this wave of people, the whole wrath descended on these people to the point where a lot of these accounts that posted the original twitter messages are now defunct and people have walked away from them. what happened was even though twitter allowed people to make comments they also found out there was a whole universe of twitter users who were not going to put up with that and they made it plain very quickly. that's the gang and the gang of where we are today with on line media and that is

>> well, we had a tremendous panel at nyu who talked about this, and we talked about the anxiety thatthering, and i support background checks as a idea, but i also need to protect myself gai against somebody else. joy ann and i also knew that we had known dennis and people who sta started to buy pistols against -- >> dennyss like the people who work on teeth? >> yes. and setting up to protect themselves against people. when we looked at this on a cultural level even though people support this idea in theory, there are historical stereotypes and certainly we saw the othering of the mentally ill after newtown and remember that the nra press conference where wayne lapierre got up and it was coded with the delusional crazy people, and stigma of mental ill jumped up even though as we have seen in the tag line that far more people are going to be shot, and they should be arming themselves against sane people. >> yes, and right. there is an nra moment where they are going on interesting complex ideas. i want to look at this nra advertise mement with the new spokesman and african-american nam

we're joined by peter blair henry, dean of nyu stern school of business and author of "turn-around: thirdh." i enjoyed reading parts of your book. specifically i was struck by your three key principles. discipline, clarity, and trust. obviously i think those three things are missing in washington. talk us through the what you mean by those three key principles. >> absolutely. first of all, discipline doesn't mean fiscal austerity. this plin means a sustained commitment to the future, and clarity means being clear about what needs to happen. for example, in the case of the tiny island of barbados, which we can talk about perhaps. trust is really krit critical f need more trust between emerging nations and developed nations and more trust between citizens and the governments. in particular, there's a win/win here that's out there for us if we form a better relationship with emerging nations and realize their growth is good for us. >> isn't part of that process just looking inward to the united states here, when you talk about discipline, it strikes me part of what we have been undisciplined

took around the film registered voters in 2008 and a similar film and while doing all that i went to nyu where i graduated. >> i understand we were part of the same program. >> guest: yes i highly recommend it. >> host: it allows you to craft your own curriculum and you can cross disciplines. so what did you do? >> guest: my concentration with the intersection of film technology and politics was an emphasis on social change. >> host: so it sounds like your dedication page reads in part to my mother and father the greatest that i know. let's talk about the generation for a minute because they get some flax for mistakes they have made. what is your read on baby boomers. it is and was an incredibly generation in the history. much of what is going on today in america would not have been possible without them. the civil rights movement which they played a leading role in pushing it forward and ending the war in vietnam and changing the way that we view citizen involvement in government, changing the way that we think about our elected officials and the ability to create upstarts' movements al

register 25,000 new voters in 2008 and then we did a similar film in 2012, while doing all that i went to nyu where he graduated. >> host: i understand where both were part of the same program. >> guest: a great program. i highly recommend it. >> host: it allowed you to craft your own curriculum and she became cross discipline. that's the point. so what did you do transferred my concentration was the intersection of film, technology and politics with emphasis on youth and social change. >> host: so your dedication reads in part to my mother and father to the greatest boomers i know but let's talk about their generation for a minute because they get some flak for mistakes they have made. what's your overall view treasure i think the boomer generation was an incredibly and is an incredibly important generation in our nation's history. most of what is going on today in america would not have been possible without them. the civil rights movement which they played a leading role in pushing that forward, and the war in the non-come in changing the way we have youth citizen foam in government. chang

dick berner, former morgan stanley head economist, says it's still early days when he spoke at nyu tuesdays long been identified as a threat to u.s. financial stability. and as we sort through this, denmark is to undertake a review of its banking legislation after the cypriot bail-in. the failure of denmark's own american bank back in 2011 was actually the first in the eu to see senior creditors absorb losses, but now danish officials say it would be difficult to find an alternative to a state-led rescue if one of the country's top six banks were to fail. jared, the point here being -- and by the way, this move in denmark endorsed by the imf. so, wiare we reaching a point where countries have to be more straightforward about some banks needing sovereign support if they fail? >> well, i certainly hope so. i mean, you know, we really shouldn't have been taken by surprise by cyprus. they were very much exposed to greece, and everyone knew that. and so, the idea that these things kind of flare up in ways that surprise investors and politicians and markets is something we would very much like t

goldberg is a cardiologist from the women's heart program at nyu. dr. goldberg, nice to see you. >> good morning. >> the headline is -- >> zithromax could cause fatal heart rhythms but more commonly in people with existing heart disease. it's pretty small in healthy people but makes us think twice about calling the doctor for the z-pack. >> in 2012 there were first warnings issued about this. why is the fda acting in this way at this time? >> it was a research study in the new england journal of medicine. a panel had to investigate if it was a real b problem. it alerts doctors and patients that there is a potential problem. >> if you have issues with irregular heartbeat, low potassium levels, low mag menes levels should you not get a z-pack? >> talk to your doctor about it. there are ways we can determine if you are predisposed to fatal heart rhythms be w a baseline electrocardiogram in the office. >> what is the alternative for those people if they have pre-existing conditions? >> there are lots of alternatives. we have amoxicillin and other penicillin

"outfront" tonight, daniel altman, economics professor at nyu and doug aiken, former director of theongressional budget office. gentlemen, thanks very much for being with us. daniel, let's start with you. that's the question i've had all day from people. how is it in this economy that doesn't feel like it's really pushing, is really firing on all cylinders, that the dow has hit an all-time high? >> well, the thing is that stock prices are based on expectations, because owning a share of stock gives you the right to a share of profits that come in the future for that company. so this is about expectations for the economy years down the road. now, it may take some time for that growth to arrive and the jobs to come with it. but we have other factors here, too, right? because we know, for example, that there's not a lot of people in this country who have big stock portfolios. most people -- >> only 53% of americans had any stock holdings whatsoever. >> that's right. they're not seeing a lot of benefit right away from this. we also know that labor's share of national income, we split nat
