as i finish up, the nyu institute. to talk in a theory on intellectual conservatism. there is no reason why anyone else would remember what i said. indeed, i did not remember. we have culture, education, and things intensify. this includes the domestic equivalent of the war. the american cultural landscape is almost entirely in possession of this. so much so that the left exercises its dominion and rule of political correct us. the lessons here include commentary. now includes the academy, the literary, the publishing roles, the democratic party. it is intolerably repressive and the source of evil in the world. it failed on almost every level of cultural life. this picture is wildly inaccurate. we have an internal war going on against those who they think are the enemy of american culture. the conservatives were, as i recall, the same people who decry the law. generally speaking, american liberalism and conservatism are cut. it is liberal in the philosophical sense. and it is conservative in practice. but the breach is why today. this includes the family breakfast tab

the first feature of a filmmaker from nyu named martin scorsese was picked up by an independent who changedts title and put it in local theatres. it didn't last long. he later made "goodfellas." steven spielberg, francis ford coppola, brian depalma. though their early work was not mainstream hollywood, their later work would ultimately represent what hollywood did best, with works like "e.t.," "the godfather," and "the untouchables," blockbusters. we are going to look at a band of filmmakers who thought they could change the world, and they did. "the film school generation." (whizzing of rockets) (music playing) (screams) don't try it. buddy, look, the lady obviously doesn't want -- look, creep, you want a knuckle sandwich? (narrator) in the beginning, however, only two things distinguished them from old hollywood. they have beards, and they almost all went to film school. (steven spielberg) i never went to film school. but when i went to royce hall one day to see a film festival of combined ucla and usc student films, that's when i first saw george lucas's work, thx 1138, and i met george

>> i went to nyu. he did a rendition of "luis luis" but he sang nyu-ie, you gotta go now.t was amazing. there was a lot of parents going wow. >> that's like a $100,000 song. >> that's a great story to tell. i thought it might be a great story to tell, but it actually went over pretty badly. >> maybe if you had somebody that knew how to tell it. >> somebody who had a joke. >> greg, who spoke at your commencement? >> i didn't go to mine. i was hung over and missed it. i can't remember at all. although my high school graduation neil young showed up. his brother-in-law was in my class. >> his brother-in-law? >> see that's how you tell a story. >> did he perform? >> no, he didn't. well he did perform surgery. >> oh my god. >> from socialists to psychosis and seeking friends on-line make you lose your mind? facebook and other sites can make people go batty in the brain. scientists in tel aviv have linked eye cot particular -- psychotic episodes with those in intense relationships. their moods were worse the more they socialized on-li. in each case the connection was found betwee

he is nyu professor damoradan.lways. >> i was afraid you were going to ask me where gold has gone. >> let's start with facebook. where's the right place for the stock to be trading? >> i think the best news that came out yesterday was that it was boring and that might sound weird, but i'd rather have a stock be boring at this stage of its life than do exciting things. i think when i looked at the earnings report and look at the revenue and earnings, the news i took away from it was that we understand the company better today than we did three months ago, six months ago. i went back and looked at my valuation about a year ago and looked at the projected revenues and they're pretty much on top. so in spite of the roller coaster we've been on these last few months, the company still looks pretty much the way it did a year ago with a little more formation to it. >> let's take a look at what the stock is doing. we follow it, try and see if it's ever going to get back to this ipo price. you see it now, $28.5. you think i

a stone's throw about religion at nyu's school of individual study. it is reason enough to take these essay somewhat personally. and we have paychecks from the same big account. certainly most of us can recall the facts about fort hood. there are reports and calling out [inaudible] throughout his rampage. it means god is the greatest. it is more times than i could report it. the headline alone told the story that is alarmingly too many fewer americans have been able to tell. the scenario is it is even more dangerous for being unpredictable and inevitable. things that grow, plants, mold, children, it develops over time. usually in ways that you can see. going muslim and without fair morning. angry students and faculty called for disciplinary action and in the defense of him on the grounds of academic freedom. the controversy was just a few days old before i heard any word of it or had the chance to read it myself. i learned of it from a student. and it was at the far corner of the seminar table. he asked us to call him bob for short. i was grateful for

professor at nyu wants to do away with the traditional family standard. >> i should say why should there be marriage at all. what should limit it to two and why should it be monogamous. nothing in my view gives the state that particular interest. i'm not arguing for those other forms though i do in my book argue for the decriminalization of polygamy. i would agree that we should get rid of the sexual family. there is no reason in the contemporary world to base our relationships necessarily on sex. >> bill: now add to that the legalization of marijuana in washington state and colorado. the punitive taxation some states are leveling on the wealthy and the view that america is the villain throughout the world and there you have the far left vision. are years ago that craziness would have been openly rejected by most americans. today, traditional forces are somewhat disorganized and many nonpolitical americans have simply no idea what's going on and don't really care. that leaves an open field for the loons who assaulted seattle yesterday and, believe me, they are taking full advantage of it

he is associate professor at nyu and an author.ek, very similar to last year, doc, you got on the bike with very special heroes and with former president george w. bush. tell us about it? >> good morning. i'm here in dallas this morning, but for the last three days i am privileged to be on the ranch with former president george bush. the ride is actually on his ranch. he has very tough trails there. we made it through. it was raining and muddy. you saw the set up the wooded areas. i am happy to say outside of a couple of charlie horses and dr. samadi says my psa went up but it's great. >> for the third annual warrior 100-k bike ride president bush selected 15 warriors to ride his trails. the message for those warriors and for veterans everywhere is for exercise to help them improve the quality of life to make you feel better about yourself. this message extends to all of us. >> we have some pretty tough trails on the ranch. and everybody made them through. there was a lot of encouraging words and lot of inspirational examples. >> m

george fielding of the nyu school of medicine in new york, a pioneer in the field of weight loss surgery. >> i said, do you think i need this? he said to me, if you came in here with cancer and i told you that i had a 40-minute surgery that would give you a 90% chance of cure, would you sign up? and it just really crystallized it for me. and i said, yeah, i would. he said, then why wouldn't you do that to cure obesity? >> the governor said he also consulted rex ryan, the new york jets head coach, who had successful lap band surgery himself. rex ryan has a great phrase that a lot of people who have been through the surgery use, listen to the band. >> yes. >> and that's what's -- you're just starting out, but that's what's going to guide you. >> there's no question. sometimes whether you want to listen to the band or not, it forces you to listen. but the biggest thing about it for me has been i'm just not very hungry anymore. i mean, that's a huge change for me. >> this is tough here. this is our turf. >> yes. you know, the sausage and peppers are part of the problem. but i don't feel like

masters of business administration candidates from four different universities for discussion at the nyu stern school of business. their degree can cost between 100,000 and $200,000, and all of them, twin brothers daniel and andres, proud texan clayton, and entrepreneurs jennifer and hillary took a break from their careers to attend school full-time. the post graduation unemployment rate for mbas is 4%. is there more confidence in the part of students today as they look toward graduation about the economic landscape? >> there is less nervousness, but people are more focusing on what they want, what they feel like will fulfill them as they step back out into the marketplace. i actually came to business school from the magazine publishing industry to pursue entrepreneur. i didn't know exactly what it looked like, but i knew i wanted to start a business this digital space. >> why did you go to school first? why didn't you just start a business? >> that is the exact question that i received from my bosses. but i knew i needed to be in an environment where i could elevate my level of thinking

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

, i"m director of the division of cardiology and head of the cardiovascular biology program here at nyuchool of medicine. our lab group is interested in understanding the basis for cardiac arrhythmias. we've taken this out of the mouse and hooked it up through the aorta to profuse it, to keep it happy. we can look at that both in normal conditions as well as in some of the genetically engineered mice that we've made without gap junctions or with other channel abnormalities and try to understand why they get arrhythmias, which is really the main question that's driving us here. if we understand the biology of the pacemaker cells, it's our hope that we can regenerate portions of the conduction system by re-implanting cells that take on this function from those that have degenerated in the patient. more broadly, in terms of the whole heart's electrical system, if we can understand the basis for many forms of lethal cardiac arrhythmias, we can go in and treat those sorts of diseases. cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in the united states, and sudden cardiac death from

we will hear from graduate students from nyu's publishing program.

you mentioned the -- so she teaches at columbia now but she gave remarks at nyu recently. you mentioned the content of those remarks. did she say i want to reach out to detective key than? did she say i want to offer a public apology now to the family of peter page? not exactly. here is what she did say. listen. >> i want to also talk about the people that are still in prison and not here and remember them. people david gilbert. judy clark. dinga. roselyn smith so many other people that are not here we want them here with us and hopefully some day they will be. >> megyn: the people who are still in prison. who is she talking about? >> her husband david gilbert and several other co-defendants that she is on a soapbox at these two colleges to try to accomplish her mission by swaying the young students there that weren't even born when these crimes took place. and her radical views are still the same as they were in the 1960's. >> megyn: she has a lot of empathy for the people in jail for their crimes and their murders. not so much for the victims and the families of their vi

we will hear from graduate students from nyu's publishing program. >> hello, everybody to get my name is andrea chambers, director of the center for publishing at new york university. thanks for coming to the panel discussion rising industry insiders with those new to the publishing industry think about its future. i'm sure those of you that have been attending other conferences have been listening to what some of the very senior publishing executives have to say about their vision of the publishing industry going forward. but this afternoon you are going to hear something a little different. you are going to hear the viewpoints of those who are new to the industry. we have three of our current, well, one just graduated but three of our science publishing students today and one of my and then be presenting their thoughts on what all of you in the industry and general should be doing to keep fresh and relevant and innovative in these challenging times. we come to the separation of two different perspectives, the first is the position in the industry. all of them are working in the publ

. >> disrespect to the officers is a zero tolerance policy in nyu unit. if i give 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 repor

masters from nyu, news/documentary. this documentary is going to make it to so many film festivals and win awards. so incredibly proud of you. graduating to day the i saw the documentary. it is absolutely amazing. >> thank you so much. >> very lucky to have you. she will leave us soon and become rich and famous. >> yea, katie. >> say, hi, mom. >> hi, mom, dad. >> so we have a ton more to tell you in "the mix," though. >> tattoos, they're permanent obviously. have to be careful about what you get tattooed.or girlfriend tattooed on yourself. some people do it anyway. check it out courtesy of "the huffington post." the guy won't give his name but gave the tattoos. that was his girlfriend jennifer and rather than go through painful laser removal, they broke up, of course. they turned her into, i don't know what you'd call that. a demon. >> zombie. >> the name jennifer is gone. the face, bottom says jennifer. filled it in. one creative way. >> don't know if i agree. you are still stuck with her face. what if you get back tog

. >> let's bring in in a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at nyu and a criminologist, professor at cal state san bernardino. thanks for both of you. professor, i want to start with you. powerful words from john walsh. does it seem to you as it does to me that sociopath doesn't even really describe the breath of what happened here. >> yes. you know, this is horrendous. think what could be done other than death that would be worse than this. this fellow is a violent, dominating, predatory narcissistic sociopath but sociopath doesn't even come close. he's incapable of maintaining the requisite empathy in a relationship. he has to dominate. he targets the vulnerable. it's my guess that he had a preferred woman as opposed to some kind of equality with this. he could maintain a demeanor in other social situations that was quite limited in shortened duration. a violent, controlling narcissistic thug if you will. we can see that in his relationship with his former spouse. >> he understand that there were accusations that he had beaten her very badly. she had a number of broken bones and

bob shrum, democratic strategist and professor the atat nyu. welcome to you, both.show you a picture taken by a "bloomberg news" reporter. an attendee at the nra conventions, his shirt reads "shove gun control up your --" then shows a symbol of your party. there were no democratic speakers this year at the convention. can you explain how we got here? >> look, the nra over time, and really this goes back for decades, they opposed reasonable gun control. but they might as well rename themselves the national republican aux sillry. right now they and the tea party have a veto over the gop. i think there's going to be an electoral price to be paid for this. we're seeing it in the polls. we're seeing it in the effort i think michael bloomberg is going to make. he's going to go out there and do something in 2014 and 2016 that has not been done by anybody else to nearly the same degree and i suspect with nearly the same affect. he's going to go after the people who kowtow for the nra, refuse to vote for the simple background check in the senate, i think he's going to get so

kathy ann joseph, a breast surgeon at nyu medical center here in new york. abner, founder of brightpink.org. she was diagnosed with the breast cancer gene and had a preventative double mastectomy at age 23. thank you both for being here tonight on this important topic. >> thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> lindsay, as one who has been through this, what was your reaction to the news this morning? >> well, when i woke up this morning i was absolutely shocked. usually angelina jolie is so reserved as a celebrity. and for her to make the decision to be so public and so vulnerable was absolutely inspiring to me. and the thousands of bright pink women around the country. >> now, tell us how did you make the decision to have a double mastectomy. >> well, like angelina jolie i have a very strong family history of both breast cancer and ovarian cancer. my grandma and great grandma died a week apart both from breast cancer. my mom is an 18-year breast, 17-year ovarian cancer survivor. at teenage he age of 22, after positive for the same mutation angelina has,

but i love what you said when you spoke to nyu stern students today.ou said, if you were born in 1950, a couple of years before i was, average life expectancy at birth in america was 68 areas old. today, it's closer to 80 years. but if you actually make it to 65, there's a good chance you've got another two decades after making it to 65 of life ahead of you. so, about one in every four americans who are 65 will live past 90. >> and one out of ten will live past 95. >> and how do you prepare for that. and what's the average amount of savings that people have for retirement? >> it was just reported, the average savings of -- this is not social security. the average personal savings that people have towards retirement is only $25,000. and so, this leads to some really extreme behavior if people have an inadequate amount of savings. it means, they're going to have to work longer. much longer than anyone anticipated. which now creates a social issue with young people. there are just less job opportunities and people are going to be working longer. the secon

arthur kaplan, the director of the medical ethics at nyu, and also used to work in philadelphia and would clinic with no idea what was going on in there. doctor, nice to talk to you. on a larger scale there's a lot to be considered. >> there is. there's some immediate points -- this guy is convicted of a slew of crimes. i don't know whether he'll get the death sentence but he certainly won't be leaving prison alive. the number of crimes he is guilty of will keep him in there forever. but he ran his clinic for a very long time, and no one inspected it, no one saw it. i walked past it. but clinics are supposed to get examined with the state and city, and no one dade. they could have prevent some of this if they that gotten in there in a more timely way. thed up in emergency rooms. they didn't report where they were coming from. that's problem that needs some attention. and then in the big picture of abortion, well you know, pro and anti-abortion sides would make a lot of the case. to me, the take-home message you have to make him an unnecessary figure, which means let's push the contracepti

director of the institute for public knowledge and on behalf of the institute for public knowledge at nyu and public works, which is our favorite new web review publication, we are delighted to be here for the lunch and panel discussion. joe gross' new book, this is a topic of great sensitivity and interest to all of us here, but those of us who are interested in the politics of academia more proudly turns out to be a great difference of opinion este simple things like whether professors are liberal and clearly there is disagreement about why professors have the kinds of politics they do have. neocons not as a partisan. he is not here to persuade you that there's a right way the academy should be organized. he comes as a social scientist at in trying to understand th situation to explain how he got here as best as they possibly can. i'm on record as having strong feeling. i'm on record on the back of the book. i should refrain myself from making comments, but what impresses me is the cmi network in an unusual way. establishing real certainty where professors should be situated particularl

we caught up with some students at nyu's campus, so we want you to listen to this. >> i graduated inb.a. in drama and communication and work in a movie theater. >> concession, i help with the events, ripping tickets. it's not the job i expected. it took a while to find this job. it was surprising. >> you're a senior. maybe what you're paying to get your degree in, you're going to have to do something that you don't need a degree to do. >> yeah. i started mentally preparing myself for being poor for ten years. >> i'm delewded. but i feel like i'll be able to do something related to poetry. >> i'm not sure the return on investment you get from going to college is worth it. >> i'm 18 and it's difficult thinking about all the loans that are under my name right now. >> so when you graduate, how much deliberate that be? >> probably close to 200,000. >> ouch. >> steve: can you believe it? we had marco rubio, the senator there florida on this couch within the last year, he revealed he was still paying off his student loans, he has since paid them off. but still, they haunt you. >> right. and

. >> nyu student elizabeth disagrees. >> i do not feel pressure to hookup. >> elizabeth wrote an opeden the term hookup culture. >> i think that is a completely unfair to look at an entire generation. i think that people have a bigger window into it because we have all this new media, we have a lot of ways that you can look in on kind of what the millennium culture is doing. >> she says new media makes documenting your life online a social goal. she says all this detachment means that the fantasy life of co-eds is much more tame. >> all of the students would tell me, romance is talk being, it's talking for hours, talking on a football field, on a picnic blanket with stars in the sky or candles everywhere. >> elizabeth agrees. not having sex is what is romantic. >> it's like going backpacking. >> for the most part boys will be boys they say. but there are some tradition in a lists who aren't afraid to admit it. >> i believe in courting. if i find a girl that i find attractive i want to get to know her. >> and girlso steady. >> i have yet to have been asked out on a date. i don't know i

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

met brion, my professor at nyu. >> of course. >> so, yeah, he put me on his gig. >> phenomenal. >> fantasticme for watching. what we try to do here is bring you a little bit of the culture, a little bit of the politics. we hope you enjoyed the mix of what we're especially to. i'll see you next saturday at 10:00 a.m. eastern. house leader nancy made low city will come here, she's not going to do spoken word for us, but it will be big fun. be sure to join us. up next is weekends with alex witt. meet the 5-passenger ford c-max hybrid. when you're carrying a lot of weight, c-max has a nice little trait, you see, c-max helps you load your freight, with its foot-activated lift gate. but that's not all you'll see, cause c-max also beats prius v, with better mpg. say hi to the 47 combined mpg c-max hybrid. and those people are what i like to call...wrong. metamucil has psyllium, which helps lower cholesterol, promotes digestive health, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. metamucil. 3 amazing benefits, 1 super fiber. metai had[ designer ]eelingts, enough of just covering up my moderate to

. >> the surgery occurred at nyu langone medical center. >> reporter: the new jersey governor had lap-bandurgery and has since lost somewhere near 40 pounds. he said his motive is personal, not political. >> i turned 50 years old and it made me think. i got confronted with you know your own mortality as you start to age. it's not a career issue for me. it is a long-term health issue for me. and that's the basis upon which i made the decision. >> reporter: not, said christie, 24 2016. when asked if he was slimming down for a presidential run, he kept the focus on his family. >> this is about my family's future and that's a heck of a lot more important to me than the idea of running for president of the united states. >> reporter: during the press conference christie call all of the fascination with his surgery silly and shall low. >> it was not your business. it's nobody's business other than mine. >> reporter: but for about 40 minutes, he answered plenty of questions about the procedure. >> no, the lieutenant governor was not in charge i never thought about strategically how i would put th

with very a clinical assistant professor at the nyu langone medical center.rough it piece by piece. the world health organization is saying this is a threat to the entire world. what do you think of that assessment? >> first of all, we haven't had any cases reported in the u.s. yet. seems like the vast majority of cases have been in saudi arabia. roughly 32 or so out of the 44. the middle eastern countries certainly have been affected and there are a few isolated cases in europe. i think the reason they're saying it is a threat to the entire world, anytime there is a virus that appears to be this virulent, roughly half of the patients who contract the virus have died, we don't know that much about it yet. therefore everyone really needs to be on alert. jenna: you say the comparison to sars. >> yeah. jenna: we get images of people walking around with masks for example. >> right. jenna: maybe that comparison isn't the best. what do you mean by that? >> sars killed 775 people. i don't have the exact number how many were infected but clearly that was a large numb

then at 3:30, a panel of graduate students in nyu's publishing program talk about the future of book publishing and their careers. you can watch both panels live here on c-span2. >> she picks the first speech by a sitting first lady, becomes the first president of the daughters of the american revolution, designs her own china and establishes the white house china collection and is the first to have a christmas tree in the white house. meet caroline harrison, wife of the 23rd president, benjamin harrison, a as we continue our series on first ladies with your questions and comments by phone, facebook and twitter monday night live at 9 eastern on c-span, c-span3, c-span radio and c-span.org. >> indiana law professor david orentlicher argues for a two-person presidency as a way to reduce partisanship and enforce limits on presidential power. he writes about his proposal in the book "two presidents are better than one" and discussed it at the university of pennsylvania law school. this is an hour. >> well, thank you very much for having me. i'm grateful for the opportunity to share my id

and nyu is getting some heat now. >> yeah. >> i think it will be positive long term.columbia that are moving to manhattan. and it should make new york not only the financial center but the educational and the innovative center of america. >> do you think it can really rival silicon valley? the venture capitalists, all the software programmers, money, stanford, do you think we can even come close to that in new york city or should we even try? >> absolutely. i think the mentality in silicon valley is more receptive to start-up ventures but they need companies to place their technology in. so they have come to their next stop to get technologies in place, active, working. and presumably demonstrate some positive results. >> also here in new york, a lot of disruption in financial services, engineers and business school types are working on. we have as many seat miles and electives as in finance. so, yes, we can absolutely rival. >> we're going to take a break. aim just lag through the list of revl on on girls. dina merrill, cybill shepherd, lauren hutton, christie brinkl
