you were the youngest to ever receive a special award from the president of nyu.you connect that to pb wc? what was the impact? >> when i think about pb wc i think about the times i was making connections with people within the organization realized how much i had to put myself out there and i just wait for opportunities to come to me. by the time i moved to new york city i hit the ground ing once i started at nyu. i really pushed forth with scientific research. it turned into an entrepreneurship project. it essentially exploded beyond my wildest dreams. i was really lucky to have that recognition because it really brought it all back to putting myself out there and making those connections from the beginning. >> there is a link for scholarship donations and we would be grateful to have additional scholarship dollars available that we can continue to support the program. each year we are able to grow the program. before last year we did see a dip but we have seen generous donations come and even as of today. please keep them coming. >> that is awesome. may 11-may

christina beltran, associate professor and director of graduate studies at nyu's college of arts andng my normal show, "the last word" on friday nights. we had a great conversation about the state of virginia, which used to look a lot, dr. greer, like georgia did, right? it was reliably conservative place where there were some black people and some others in sort of urban areas, but ultimately it was still reliably conservative. then it started to change. immigration, population change, political change, and virginia is now reliably blue. even georgia's efforts, they might extend the republican run there in the state through these anti-democratic things, but ultimately i suspect demographics and politics might outdo the things going on in georgia and in arizona and in michigan. >> right, well, we have to remember, ali, so much of the work in georgia took time, and that's what a lot of voters need to understand. this was years, well over a decade in the making. as dr. christina beltran mention, you know, we have to remember that this is built on coalitions and these are people who hav

he is also a professor of philosophy and law at nyu. kwamie, thank you for being here.tion weeks ago with dr. arthur kaplan who is at nyu and to paraphrase, he said to me nobody should jump the line, nobody should lie. but when you have opportunity to get that vaccine, take it, because you can't assume that it will go to someone more worthy. do you see it that way? >> well, he is my colleague and he is usually right about these things so i agree with him about that. the thing is once the system is set up and once the system is set up in a basically reasonable way, then if you are eligible, you should go for. . it's not up to you to try to fine-tune the system. in part, because as he said, there is no guarantee that the person who gets it when you don't is going to be more in need of it than you are. >> how about the college student that you addressed who is thinking of the surplus dose and am i worthy. what was your answer? >> well, i think, again, if the rules allow, if you don't lie, and if you show up and they have a spare dose and they are going to give it to you be

to begin our special tonight we are joined by nyu law professor melissa murray and paul butler. melissa, i emphasize the way that evidence works in court, because this is a trial where i think people know a lot about what happened. and tomorrow will be the jury's job to what? >> both sides are going to be at great pains to get to the heart of the matter for each of them. the government has the burden of establishing mr. chauvin's guilt on the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt. that's a very high standard. that means for the defense, what they really need to do is inject the element of doubt. as you said, this question of mr. floyd's underlying health conditions will be really critical, because the government has to show beyond a reasonable doubt that derek chauvin's actions on that fateful day were a substantial cause of mr. floyd's death. so the defense is going to be at great pains to introduce evidence that there were other factors so that this was not a substantial cause of his death, that these other factors were more contributing. >> and if a juror says, like a view

meanwhile, the "new york times" has revealed nyu langone health, a major hospital system new york city, has s aside covid vaccines solely for employees of bloomberg, which is run by the billionaire former mayor of new york, mike bloomberg. the news comes just weeks after bloomberg philanthropies gave another part of nyu, that is new york university, a $25 million donation. in international news, palestinian authorities have received 100,000 vaccine doses fr china in a boost to efforts to vaccinate the 3 million palestinians living in the west bank. while israel has vaccinated more than half of its population, it has largely refused to vaccinate palestinians, excepfor some who work in israel or in illegal settlements. the white house as an -- has unveiled a $2 trillion jobs plan to help address the nation's deteriorating infrastructure. it includes over 650 billion dollars for roads, bridges, railways, and ports, over $300 billion for housing infrastructure, $300 billion for domestic manufacturing, and billions for modernizing the electrical power grid, expanding broadband and eliminati

we're joined by aclu president and nyu law professor deborah archer.>> well, thank you for having me. you know, as you mentioned, it's very unusual to have an officer go on trial for murdering a black person. and as the trial begins tomorrow, it's certainly hopeful there will be some measure of justice for george floyd, for his family, for his communities. and i hope that the trial will end with black people believing that there's a possibility of justice and equality within our criminal legal system. but we can never really be confident or comfortable when it comes to addressing racial injustice. the history of racial injustice and atrocities in this country really ends with justice for the victims. so i'm hopeful, but i think it's an everyday challenge of being black in america to balance hope and optimism with the history of heartbreak and disappointment, and to be able to acknowledge the progress but not lose sight of how far we have come and how far we have to go. when you say have we learned anything, what has come from the protests, i think it d

last august, nyu students were demanding black only student housing. a group called black violet said it's not about inclusion but creating a space where black students can feel included. north carolina's elon university set up a white caucus that meets on zoom to talk about how racist america is and their own guilt and complicity in that bigotry. now what is obvious at this point is that this whole old-fashioned notion for fighting for equal opportunity, that's long gone. they want institutionalized segregation. it's so far gone that the woke joke have essentially purged moderates from the democratic party. charles blow at "the new york times" demands that democrats now atone for bill clinton. clinton's record with respect to black and brown americans and the poor was marked by credits topic miscalculations, betrayed the minority bases that so heavily supported him. well, perhaps mr. blow forgets that democrats were wiped out in 1994 because they overreached and bill clinton misread his mandate. the crime bill and welfare reform, they are not perfect,

brennan center studies voting rights and legislation like this at nyu they've put out a new report on what hr-1 and s-1 would do. as of february 19th, more than 253 bills restricting voting access has been carried over, prefiled or introduced in 43 states and the number is rising. the brennan center has analyzed each of the restrictive voting bills pending in the states and concludes that the for the people act, hr-1, s-1, would thwart virtually every single one of those bills in the states. this bill would put a national for on voting rights that states could not bring their rules below. bill formally introduced today in the senate. the co-lead sponsor of the bill is senator raphael warnock of georgia. there's 50 democrats in the senate. 49 of the 50 democrats are signed on as co-sponsors of this bill. the only one who isn't is west virginia democratic senator joe manchin. even if he nevertheless would vote for it, which would assure 50 votes for the bill, republicans, of course, will use the filibuster rule to block the thing from passing. and senator manchin has been sort of confus

another case, exhibit a, this might be an additional lawsuit, this was in the new york post december 1st, nyuuck on a boat ride where others were not following coronavirus rules, week later the school which had been alerted to the student by an anonymous tipster issued a decision suspending her for the rest of the fall semester. doesn't sound like a lot of due process in that system. maybe there's more we don't know but there is a lawsuit. >> as long as the individual has proper notice and opportunity to be heard, that fills the due process requirement. look at it from the school's perspective. a single student can turn into a super spreader event that can shutdown an entire campus, people are just getting back to in person learning. going by the financial state, the possibility of loss of life because somebody acted in a way not pursuant to protocol. that is not the best situation for the student, the school has to look from a macro's perspective, their duties to ensure the health and safety of all employees on campus, every campus work on, every student on campus and cannot do so if people

physicist steve koonin, formerly of the obama energy d., professor of physics at cal tech, now with nyuimate change, and he's got a hot new book coming out, i think, in april. first of all, steve koonin, how is the forecasting? if you know, this doom and gloom game is all predicated of forecasts over the next, what, 90 or 100 years. how do those forecasters do it? >> you know, it's a really tough business because human influences and other influences are physically small. it's about 1%. and untangling all of that from the natural variability is difficult. nevertheless, people build large computer models that take months to run, and they try to project what's going to happen with the climate over the next 80 years, let's say, you should different assumptions -- under different assumptions about greenhouse gas emissions, aerosols and so on. some of the predictions are kind of surprising, the one that may be of most interest since yours is a business show is what the economic impact is. and if and if you read the official reports put out byff the u.n. and the u. government, they say for th

art caplan from nyu is quoted as saying this, if you are in control of a vital supply of a life-savingke vaccines, you are carrying an enormous amount of implicit clout when you ask for political allegiance and you shouldn't be doing that anyway. dana, how is this helping their case? >> well, if it's public, like it is now, according to "the washington post" reporting, it's not at all. this is another data point in the allegations that have become the larger narrative and the larger allegations about governor cuomo, that it's not just about the sexual harassment allegations, it's about bullying, it's about a workplace that is untenable beyond the regular politics and that, you know, the sort of brass knuckle politics he is known to play. and so what this report suggests is that there is -- it's beyond that. it is -- you know, this sounds like, according to this, there's a quid pro quo that people are now feeling emboldened to make public because the governor is in a much more precarious situation. >> yep. as you pointed out, it doesn't seem like governor cuomo is stepping down any time

the result, a double-digit surge in students applying to some selective colleges like nyu. >> what hasst 100,000, i think my stomach did just do a little flip and say, wow. now i've entered a whole new world. i thought oh dear lord how are we going to get through all of this. >> reporter: harvard university reported 42% increase in applications. the university of virginia saw almost 17% increase. and coal gate university received more than double the applications this year than it did last year. >> trying to put their best foot forward in a way they think might have a school give them a chance when they wouldn't have in the past. >> reporter: these eye-popping numbers are the exception, though. >> our enrollment was down about 10% in the fall. and it's down about 18% in the spring. >> reporter: at middlesex community college in massachusetts where 40% of those attending are first-generation college students, officials did everything they could to get students enrolled. >> we extended registration deadlines. we forgave as much debt as we could afford to do for students. we allowed stude

. >> we turn now to melissa murray, nyu professor of law. thoughts on this case and what it means, this news that it's going to the grand jury. >> well, again, the grand jury is just a precursor to what may be an indictment. it's been said that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich, but obviously there is a little more required here. they are to be able to show from the subpoenaed evidence that comes up in the grand jury investigation that there is probable cause to go further, to issue those indictments, and again, to bring criminal charges against the president and anyone else who was involved in all of this. so this is still early days yet, but the fact that they are moving so quickly i think says a lot about how purposeful they're being about this particular investigation. >> yeah, and i don't mean to repeat something we all got fatigued from during the last four years, but the fact that this is in the middle of our news hour tonight is a reminder of just how much is going on, from pandemic news to other important things because we don

thus the nyu question in the nicole what you have the last word by thing we did not talk about tonight. mention readers for essays how did they feel how's it possible they could read one heard a thousand applications for the actually debarment or the giving must these applications two to five minutes most the cases maybe ten minutes was a lot. ember led this is organized in a way that they don't actually see the real application it comes in electronically to them paid someone is recapping the gpa producing the transcript. mostly selective colleges have commuted based evaluation with f2 readers at the same time. they split the application in half. for the essay in particular they're really steep reading those. so they'll have one person will be reading those while the other persons look at the transcript they will summarize it as they are going. for most of the essays they are mind numbingly similar. that's one place by the way i think students really could focus on and focus less on trying to write an essay they think the other person on the side of the desk wants to read. and more tha

gone to princeton i studied in new york and i signed up for this adult continuing studies class at nyu at night. and i would go and engage in these writing exercises for the guy who taught the class is a calm this at the "new york post" of all places. when he said i think you have something here. i think you might want to try journalism, have you ever thought about it? and i had a just taken the class simply because i missed writing. and so he said yesterday there's a big discovery of wrapped the back of a taco bell kfc in the west village the camera crews agog the rats doing, could you do some story on some nice restaurants that have route problems to to explain this is not just a taco bell problem. i said okay. so after worker started going through the department of health records and look into these russia reports. long story short i found this dismal health record for this restaurant in chelsea. i just eaten there it was like a delightful restaurant. i don't remember any wrapped problems. so i went to set them looking at your health report looks really horrible said yet cockroaches

as promised, we now turn to nyu law professor melissa murray. when you look at someone like roger stone, he is both well-known in american politics and i think on television and elsewhere as a fabulist who admits to lying and all sorts of controversies. he was pardoned, many remember for his role in the russia probe. this seems like something where could be wrong place, wrong time, but he's not exactly playing it up. he seems to be trying to get out from under it. >> that definitely seems to be the case. again, what we know now is pretty limited stuff about the scope of this investigation. we know that some individuals who are close to stone and other members of the trump world have been linked to the riot, have been charged with being on the capitol grounds during the riot. and i think right now a lot of this is really to sort of try and find out what the scope of the involvement, not just of these low level rank and file rallier, but maybe even those further up were on that day in january. >> yeah. take a look for "the new york times," noting

joining me now, msnbc contributor and professor of law at nyu, melissa murray.e you this afternoon, thanks for joining us on this. i guess i want to start first with jury selection. as we've been speaking about it, 13 of the 15 seated, jury selection continuing as i just mentioned. from your assessment so far, how do you see jury selection going? >> well, it seems to be going at a pretty reasonable clip. the judge has stayed focused on ensuring that the jury can be selected and that they are adding jurors that they have had to dismiss a couple of already seated jurors because of the impact of that $27 million civil settlement. a couple of the jurors who were already seated said they did not think they would be able to remain impartial given the rate of that settlement so they were dismissed from the juror pool and they had to replace them. so this will continue on monday. it will wrap up with the selection of probably two additional jurors so they'll have a full complement of 15 which will allow for 12 in the jury box and an additional three who can be alternate

okay, i'll answer this and asked the nyu question and nicole i will let you the last word about anything we didn't talk about tonight. i mentioned readers for essays, who are they, how do they fit in? that actually do but remember there giving most of these applications two to five minutes in most of the cases i saw maybe ten minutes was a lot. remember a lot of this is organized in a way they don't see the real application. it comes in electronically to them. somebody is recalculating the gpa, they are seeing the transcript most of the selective colleges have something called committee based evaluation what had to make rid of the team time, split the application in half. for the essay in particular and even recommendations that really steep reading those. they will have one person will be reading those one of the person is look at the transcript and it will summarize as they are going. for most of the essays they are mindnumbing similar. that's one place by the way i think students really could focus on and focus less on trying to write an essay that they think the other person on the s

we've got janelle ross with us, an msnbc contributor and melissa murray, professor of law at nyu, a former law clerk to justice sonia sotomayor, also an msnbc contributor. janelle, we'll start with you because you've been reporting in minneapolis. so give us a sense of the mood there. what's the feeling as this trial gets under way tomorrow? >> i'd say that there's a little bit of tension in the air here. there are businesses downtown near the court house that are already boarded up. there are barricades that are going up. certainly i think it is the issue of everyone's mind that people all over town are discussing. so i'd say that the mood is a little tense. at the same time, i think that this is very much the moment that many people have been waiting for, for various reasons. people who strongly support this officer and believe he did nothing wrong, those who believe that it's high time if not past time for a real reckoning on policing not just nationally but specifically here in minneapolis where there's a fairly extensive history of questionable deaths involving police officers. >> mel

i want to bring in nyu law professor melissa murray. thanks for being here.ave called these informally a set of accountability hearings that congress has had on a parallel track journalists and others continue to shift through an incredible amount of information. what do you think is important as a fuller picture emerges because there is a tendency in daily life to say do you remember how it looked that day or a couple days after? and then you move on. this is one complex attack that has certainly looked more grave as more has come out. >> well, we're certainly putting together more of the details about that day. you will remember at least in the initial aftermath of the insurrection there was some discussion about officer sicknick being killed because of blunt force trauma to the head. that seems not to be the case. there is some concern that maybe he suffered a stroke while in the hospital. maybe that stroke was precipitated by a chemical irritant. these videos go to show or go at least to establish a more causal link between whatever his cause of death was

marc siegel, professor of medicine at the nyu langone center.re but this one appears that it may not stop you from contacting kobe to but it will stop you from getting severely ill or even dying. >> jonathan serrie had a great report just now and i want to push back with it point, a lot of the testing was done on variance. and those may not be a perfect match for the vaccine so i would start with a 100% decrease in hospitalizations and deaths. you won't die if you get hospitalized based on the trials and an 85% block against severe disease. that's only with one shot. what would happen if you got two shots of the johnson & johnson? remember you are comparing one shot at this vaccine to two shots of the pfizer and modernity vaccine. they are now doing studies on what would happen if you got the two shots. one big advantage of this vaccine are that you don't have to keep it in the deep freeze, you don't even have to keep it in the freezer. that's what i do in my office when i give out vaccines, most of them are in the refrigerator, he rolled him ou

debbie nepirample joins us from the nyu school of medicine clinical associate. is there any risk to texas in general to the release of these migrants better than 100 of them tested positive for the virus. how quickly could it spread, what are the risks in general? >> sure, well i think the situation highlights some of the problems we've seen throughout the pandemic, so first of all, if there are 100 people who have coronavirus or test positive, i mean, they can expose other people to coronavirus just in general regardless of whether people are wearing masks or not, so some of it has to do with the physical distancing, of course masks protect you because they can block the spread of respiratory droplets which is the main way the virus spreads but if you're in crowds, then the virus could spread that way too, just because of the physical distancing that you're close together, so let's say that people on the other side of the border let's say are close together, there's still a delay in terms of the test turning positive, so people could still get exposed and test

joining me now is nyu langone professor raj. thank you for being here, appreciate it.hink it could be very helpful. you know, obviously we've been dealing with this pandemic for now over a year and we want things to get back to normal as quickly as possible and for those who have been vaccinated with a risk to travel to the people in that country. if they can prove and have documentation that they did actually get the vaccine and it's a very credible type of proof like the digital passport that we're talking about, it's a way to open things up more quickly. you know, right now people have to get a covid test before and after they travel and some of the things, those documents can be forged or changed or lost and not sure where that information is going. this would be a much more secure system and one that could be trusted. >> it sounds like you're saying it could definitely be more helpful, but not necessarily necessary. a many i right in that? >> well, i guess how do you define necessary? i think it will be one of the elements necessary for us to get back to travellin
