but in the united states, there were some really good studies out of yale and nyu. they didn't just rely on people reporting what they ate, because self reporting is often not reliable. they may say they had a salad and diet coke, when in reality they had a big mac, a tiny salad, and a full sugar coke. and they tooke receipts, and they compared it, it it was clear they were lying. they realized that there really was a good evidence on this. what was interesting was that in some interviews, some people said that -- i saw that the salad had 700 calories, and the burger and fries had 850 calories, so i obviously, order the one the taste better. of course, we don't only think of calories, nutrition is not like that. there's vitamins and nutrients in certain things that might be higher in calories but it's better for you, more fiber, less happy returns of calories alone make people bump up the caloric allotment more, because they just decide to throw the towel in. on school lunch reforms -- everybody was familiar with what michelle obama was pushing for, healthier school

with me on the phone is bob bauer during the obama skplagz is a law professor at nyu.you are our expert here. explain how the emergencies act in your mind was meant to be interpreted by the office of the presidency. >> meant to be interpreted by the office of the presidency, it may be that donald trump suggests that his lawyers interpreted it expansively and not congress's intention. congress enacted this statute to give the president the authority to declare an emergency where one exists. nothing suggests that his discretion exists so far as to declare as he sees fit any set of conditions to be a national emergency. there has to be a national emergency that he declares to access these authorities. >> who is the -- isn't that subjective in and of itself? one person's emergency is another person's -- well, it's a pain, but not an emergency. i don't mean to be that, but it seems subjective. >> you put your finger on a point. the president would need a significant amount of deference and they can permeate emergency that is the president declared. however donald trump hits

and as one of my colleagues paul white who is at nyu said all it takes is an outlier. so i have my outlier and there is actually increased interest in white house staff turnover. let me just take a step back and ask why we should care about white house staff turnover. why does it matter? why are you spending all of this time trying to get an answer and these questions about the receptor number? first off i want to make the point that, so i'm examining the most senior level of white house staff. these individuals are the most influential unelected individuals in our government. they see a president on a daily basis, and have tremendous influence over all kinds, all manner of decisions. and so for that reason alone, i think that we should care about the men and women who work with the president and we should also care about how long they stay in their job. so you might be thinking why does it matter if they state two months, two years, four years? well, just take a step back and think about the private sector. think about when the ceo of ge steps down, or the cfo from a

orrin devinsky of nyu la langon health led a study in the use for epilepsy.he use of marijuana gotten ahead of science? >> absolutely. politician vs. voted that this -- politicians have voted that this should be a legal medical therapy, and we don't have data from rigorous studies to define what the safety is. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning saturday," dr. jon lapook. >> fascinating. >> when i see this, i see another argument for driverless cars, you know. >> certainly. -one o interesting, too, narcotic. that makes any of the research more difficult because of the accessibility of it. whether it's testing that drug companies want to do or somebody using it in a different form. >> you asked in the middle of this, what's a little high. >> exactly. >> you think they would have figured this out before they passed the laws. >> yeah. so many questions. >> interesting. yes. >>> getting a college education often means tens of thousands of dollars in loans. but not everywhere. we'll take you to one school offering a virtually debt-free degree and see if other colle

in the vice the vice chair will be speaking that evening at nyu. that is on thursday after the fed minutes come out. one thing for sure this week it's good to be a wild one. maria: i will be sitting down later today with an exclusive interview with j.p. morgan and jamie diamond. interested to see what he has to say about the potential growth slowdown across the world. him being the ceo and leader of the largest bank. the last time we saw the sell off jamie diamond came and said i'm really putting my own money to work i will buy back our stock. he tried to tell the world that he did not think anything was fundamentally wrong. getting his sense of where the consumer as is right now and how the economy looks in terms of this expectation of a growth slowdown would be key. then there is the shutdown. and i have lots of commentary this morning about how the american people as both sides really dig in. >> it's been fascinating to watch. it is so tribal out there. you want him to stand up and make this as long as he can hear on the left we are looking this

as one of my colleagues who is at nyu said all it takes is an outlier. i have my outlier and there's actually increased interest in light of staff turnover. let me take step back for second and ask why we should care about white house staff turnover, why does it matter? wiper you spend all of his time trying to figure an answer these questions about the rates of turnover? first off i want to make the point, so i'm examined for a senior level of white house staff. these individuals are the most influential, and elected individuals in our government. they see the president on a daily basis and have tremendous influence over all kinds come all manner of decisions. and so for that reason alone i think we should care about the men and women to work for the president and we should also care about how long they stay in their job. sleep might be thinking why does it matter if they stay two months, two years, four years? welcome just take a step step back and think about the private sector. think about when the ceo of ge steps down, or the cfo from a major compan

schwarzman has given an enormous amount of money away, $100 million was just given by ken langone to nyu to give free medical school to students. >> that's a drop in the bucket. maria: does that change -- >> if you look at what it really means, like i broke the economy -- i'm linked in, if anybody wants to go, i broke it to two pieces, the top 60%, the bottom 40%. when you look at the conditions of the bottom 40%, things like the amount of money that's spent on education, if you're in the top 4 of% -- by the way, it's -- the top 40%, it's really like the top 5%. the amount of money that is spent on education per child is four times what is spent in the bottom 60% of the economy. so you think about how you're going to educate. do we create something that approaches an equal education? do we create something that is approaching that element? we don't create a bottom, i don't believe and because that popolarity is taking place with such a large percentage of the population, also, look, i'm a capitalist. statement, when -- at the same time, when we have technologies being wonderful technolog

come in scott galloway, business professor at nyu stern.come back to the program. >> good to see you, stuart. stuart: always great to -- >> there is void in my life. it was stuart varney. good to see you. stuart: void in my life, socialist on the set with me. >> thanks for that. stuart: okay. it seems to me the big tech has a huge problem with privacy and trust. >> sure. stuart: but i don't see any serious moves at this point to go after them and break them up. you want them broken up? >> i think a breakup is overdue. i would like to think i'm optimistic it is coming in. in hearings on proposed attorney general william barr, he was asked several times by republican senators, talking about the power of growing companies. he said in fact something the fcc should take up. i don't know if it will be meaningful. only 7% of elected leaders have background in technology or engineering. seems like other 93% show up at hearings. we'reoutout gunned here. stuart: you don't like the power companies amassed. >> yep. stuart: i'm with you on that. what i

in fact, jenny has friends at nyu can't even get their tuition money out of china. >> that's 60 grandactly. so it's really beginning to impact us. but it's going on for awhile, well before the trade issue. stuart: quick question to both of you. jenny first. the student loan debt overhang, a real problem for housing? >> huge problem. it's not like, you know, most millenials don't own homes already so it's not like they are selling into the market they're buying. they have no equity right now. so that really does impact millenials. so does a lot of other things. we are facing a lot of headwinds. it's not like we worked at gm for 30 years, all my friends work at startups and next year they could be moving to san francisco for another startup so there's no real reason to buy a home, so everything is just being pushed later. stuart: it's entirely understandable. you have got a huge debt, student loan debt around your neck, it's hard to go out and buy a house. >> for sure. this is really i think the next crisis, truly, to fall. the student loan crisis. stuart: interesting. thank you very mu
