about was teaching a class at nyu law school which i went to and we started discussing our views about the proper role of lawyers and the executive branch. and actually agreed initially to write a book about the white house counsel read which is the office the top lawyer in the white house with fighting as the present on the personal basis representing the government been a very close basis. there's never been a great book about white house counsel bob had strong views about it is a nice predict from different perspectives and make met one day to talk about that book. an outline the book and this is about a year and half ago and in the course this was in january of 2020, and in the course of trying to sketch of that book which kept coming back to the truck presidency. we kept talking about all of the things a trump done to violate the norms and exposed limits and accountability. and we are both students of the presidential reform in 1970, the ones that were famously implemented after watergate in vietnam after the church commissions. reforms that really regulated every aspect of the pr

nyu's ad observatory project study political ads using unauthorized means to access and collect data from facebook, in violation of our terms of service. we took these actions to stop unauthorized scraping and protect people's privacy, in line with our privacy program under the ftc order. but the ftc disagrees, calling their reasoning inaccurate and misleading. here is what an ftc official wrote to ceo, mark zuckerberg. i am disappointed by how your company has conducted itself, in this matter. had you honored your commitment to contact us, in advance, we would have pointed out that the consent decree does not bar facebook from creating exceptions for good-faith research and the public interest. we asked facebook to respond to that but facebook declined. laura was one of those researchers, who had her facebook access disabled. thanks for joining us, laura. so, start by telling us what you were researching, and why. >> hi. um, so really, the thrust of our work is trying to understand misinformation online. we try to understand how it -- how it spreads and how it can be stopped. >> so,

the nyu is a volunteer program, really good disclosure.nsion on their computers that simply looks to see what kind of ads facebook shows them. the whole purpose of this is to see what's going on in political advertising. the program has been going on for several years. it's just that right now there's a new set of things going on that they're tracking and they announced that was happening and facebook shut them down. the problem here, ali, is that facebook is not transparent. if regulators understood how much illegal behavior was going on and how much covid disinformation advertising was going on and scam medical cures, illegal drugs being promoted there and not just on facebook, on instagram and on other platforms like google and youtube. they would be appalled. this is just a classic facebook move. >> barb, you know, we don't really, we've been talking about this for years about whether social media needs to be regulated and self-regulated and a government thing. people like roger have altogethered that social media unregulated is antide

new york rose up, gave me scholarships, both to nyu and i am indebted to new york and its culture.ly indebted to new york city. >> i love that allegiance to new york and that history that you have with this. there's really no more special place than central park to celebrate the reopening of the city, especially with all the city and all of us have gone through, the musical history just in this park. you think that diana ross' concert in the rain, i remember as a kid james taylor had a free concert in central park with a huge turnout. it is an iconic space to have an event like this. >> without question. i was there with simon and garfunkel, witnessing barbara streisand and others. it couldn't be a greater venue in order to celebrate the reopening of new york, so this was a challenge. this is not one artist. we've come up with about 18 iconic or new artists to represent, anderson, every genre of music. we're talking rap, pop, broadway, even classical music. we have the new york philharmonic. all 75 members of them. we're going to make use of this incredible stage and venue. >> how

researchers with nyu cybersecurity for democracy project the group study is the way of misinformation to problems on the tech giant's platform but not anymore. facebook says the group violated its terms of service. joining me now to react policy director at cpi rachel bovard. rachel, thank you so much for coming on. i am not surprised at all that facebook would silence its critics whether they come from the right or the left. are you amazed anymore at the audacity at which they approach this silencing project? >> never, and i'm not surprised here either. because what is very clear is that facebook doesn't want proletariat the normies asking any question about how they run their business. i think what's really instructive about this example in particular is the tool that these nyu researchers had created called ad observer tracked and researched how facebook was serving up ads to its users. it was an extension that people downloaded to allow this data to be collected. now, this is an area where facebook does not want any scrutiny because we often think of these platforms as speech plat

the nyu late professor wrote about it. simon cynics writes about it now. take basketball. the shape of the court, the rules of the game, loupg it will last and how to determine who won at the end. that all makes basketball a finite game. no players, no rules, clear outcome, winners and losers. then there are infinite games. they could have unknown players. the rules could change if anyone agrees on them at all and the objective is to stay in the game to keep going. there are many kind of infinite games. business is an infifit game. you can't win business. ed a advanced robotices is an infinite game, too. so is war. if there is one thing we know about the militia groups in afghanistan they absolutely play with an infinite mindset. how can they do anything else? controlling people's lives through a religious government is not something you cross off a to-do list. that is life. that's why they were determined to outlast the u.s. not just because we agreed to leave. they were determined to stay and fight whether we left or not. the u.s. war in afghanistan was a few night endea

this -- the repeal of the aumf, they had one here and they had an academic from harvard, yale, and nyu. they didn't bring in one military general pastor present. they did-- past or present. they didn't bring in one secretary for the that is how they are conducting the policy, without looking into the ramifications and repercussions of what is going to happen with the political decisions they are out there making. they are asking the wrong people, they are not asking the right people. if they do take the time to ask them, they are not listening to them. and that is exactly what we could expect out of the next conversation for another aumf, the same way they did it the first time. reporter: there is approximately $3 billion that has already been appropriated from congress that's sitting from fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 that was supposed to be for afghan security forces. what do you want to see done with that money, and what can republican conference do in order to make sure the money is spent appropriately? rep. mccarthy: well, i would like to see a plan to bring americans home

for more, we welcome back the clinical assistant professor of medicine and infectious diseases at the nyuof medicine in bellevue hospital. she was part of a panel that advised the biden transition team on covid-19. she also hosts a weekly podcast, and the impact of the coronavirus, called epidemic. good to see you here. i think a lot of people can relate to doctor murphy. at this point, who is the best messenger to reach those people who are convinced that the vaccine is more dangerous than the virus? >> chris, i think we really need to be, this is a ground game this is a game we need to take from family to family person to person. in the best players of that game are frankly personal doctors family physicians, and other people in the community, community health workers, nurses, pharmacists, other people that are just known to their neighbors, maybe they go to church together, that's the level at which we need to be doing this messaging. >> people who know one another. >> a part of the problem, is and again, these stories get maybe they're the ones they get told most, because so many peop

marc siegel from nyu langone. just quickly on the biden thing, i want to reiterate.of evidence shows he's made the right moves during the pandemic. when greg abbott was taking down the mask mandate in texas, the president said it was reckless. so the president has been going after these governors for quite some time. some of their moves have been effective. your thoughts. >> i don't like the language. it's too political. it has to be medical. i agree with you that governor desantis has done a lot to try to keep businesses open. a lot of people moved to florida as a result. look at public health as a larger picture. it's not just covid. it's what damage you do by closing things down. when it comes to schools, i differ from the governor. you know what? we have to keep the schools open. i'm worried, 50,000 new cases in florida, almost a third of the cases in the country even though the death rate is very, very low and kids are not the ones that get the sickest and they don't carry it. so a kindergartener is not that likely to spread it at all. studies show with the delt

the late derek bell mentioned went to nyu, they started this. fear of one of the foremost proponents of it. this is a law school class. they are not taught in all law schools. i was surprised kroger race theory was taught in k-12. it's about law and how despite changes law has embedded race in the legal system. with critical race theory with attackers issues. i think what people have done has made any talk about corey siri anything about race. critical race theory all talk about race. but not all people who talk about race are critical race theorists. i think most of people talking about racist because they are they talk about slavery and so forth. were not doing theory. theory was 67 years old, and i'm not been disingenuous. what's think that is going on. i think there is a concern talking f about topics from what i have read and what people have said that makes them feel bad. you talk about slavery they know the vast majority of slaveholders were white in the united states. africans had slaves too. people they captured they sold. we are talkin

nyu langone associate professor, dr. raj. doctor, obviously it's a complicated situation.er the weekend, the white house is upset with the cdc for fanning flames, for maybe laying it on too thick. i know it's delicate. where do you see this going and how should the communication for this being going along? >> charles, just what you said. it's very complicated because it's an evolving situation. you know, it's sort of easy to blame the cdc. when new information comes to light, we feel the responsibility to share. that's where we're at. we learned things last week that we didn't know before about the delta variant. namely that it is very contagious even in vaccinated people. that they have a very high number of virus particles in their nose but they can easily transmit it. this is pretty startling news and has implications as to how we're interacting even if we're vaccinated and it has implications for large numbers of our population that have not been vaccinated. this is all going to affect policy. the fact that number 1, even though you're vaccinated, you can have what the

a frightening aspect to office because their hospitals were referring to the covid army and we had nyudents who graduated last april and an early graduation and their administrator came on and greeted them as a covid army coming to battle. as young people who were expecting to spend a couple of months preparing for residency which is really intense, taking in medical school, maybe doing some celebrations with family and suddenly instead they were drafted to what for all intensive purposes, really felt like they were and i remember this from both of us as reporters there were headlines in the new york times saying for doctors it feels like a war zone and they didn't have enough ppe they just felt like they were left behind, but doctor drive by the city government and the federal government, they felt like they didn't necessarily have all the support they needed while growing in to confront them. there's going to be a real rental health epidemic on this pandemic and also they're going to have to deal with that doctor, ordinary people and new yorkers are going to have to deal with it hard

marc siegel fox news contributor, professor of medicine at nyu langone medical center.st of all, doctor, your overall thought whether or not we're headed back into the dark zone for kids of total virtual or mandatory hybrid virtual. are we going in the wrong direction here? >> harris, that was a great setup. we better not be. having the schools closed not only caused great harm perhaps irreparable harm to the psyche of children and their nutrition and all health actually and developmental screenings and things like that. on top of that the science shows the previous things studies out of nebraska and utah and north carolina and wisconsin all showed less than 1% secondary spread within schools. if they had mitigating factors in place. meaning distancing, three feet, ventilation, you know, best ventilation possible and masks, this is all pre-delta vair yanlt. now you put that in the picture and i would say this i and dr. scott gotlieb and others have been saying we should be looking at kn95 masks for kids. i think that the regular surgical and cloth masks are probably goi

marc siegel joins us now, he's a fox news medical contributor and professor of medicine at nyu langonepital. thank you for being here. how concerned are you about the situation in florida right now? >> i am concerned about it. but i think it's actually something that can be remedied as follows. about 50% of all floridians right now have both doses of the mrna vaccine, pfizer or moderna or the j&j shot, actually, 50% are fully vaccinated. that's not enough. we have a lot of vulnerable people out there that have neither had covid which gives them some immunity, or have had the vaccine. that's too many. there's probably 100 million unvaccinated without having had covid nationwide. florida definitely has a lot of this going on so i don't know that the focus should be on masks, although it's definitely been shown that masks in public places indoors, if you're unvaccinated, clearly plays a role at diminishing spread. i'm not sure it's the right time for the governor to be pushing back on that. mandates is a different question. i recommend mask use for the unvaccinated. the key here is to get

at nyu school of medicine. and jill have both written opinion pieces about cracking down on unvaccinated people. to you, first, professor. look, this is tricky . mandating vaccinations. but what can be done to essentially mandated? but maybe just to say to people that you cannot do certain things if you're not going to be safe? >> thank you for having me. look. the moral equation has to shift. stop protecting the unvaccinated. they are selfish. they are greedy. they are not doing the right thing by their neighbors and i do not think we are going to be able to persuade. if you look at the data in the south that was just recorded. there are outbreaks following the unvaccinated strategy all over the place. hospitals are about to tip over. it is about time to go to mandates. and it has been that time, for a while now. first, if you are healthcare worker? in a nursing home setting or a teacher? you must vaccinated. it is the only way to protect the week, the vulnerable, the children. secondly, no jab, no job. either

also melissa murray, nyu law professor and msnbc lisle analyst and former law clerk to justice soniare going to talk a lot about the legal piece of this. but i also want to talk about the fact that we're talking about a policy that is wrong, that is morally reprehensible. what does what the supreme court just decided mean for asylum seekers? >> it's a death trap. it is a death sentence. i mean, it is that plain and simple. i wish i was exaggerating, but that's what it is. just to give you a picture what's happening along the border, just in the last six months, more than out of migrants have either been kidnapped, either been raped, or violently attacked, most of them by the mexican cartels negotiable last seven months. more than 100 migrants have died attempting to cross the sonoran desert into arizona. most of them had died because of heat exhaustion. i mean, there are countless migrants that are still there and that are still trying to desperately come into this country because their legal right to seek asylum has been completely vanished. and so i think more than anything people

to all of us because the hospital were referring to them as a coalition forces or the covid army the nyuaduated last april and had an early graduation on webex and their administrator greeted them as the covid army coming to battle. as young people who had been expecting to spend a couple of months preparing for residency which is really intense and taking in the levels of medical school may be doing some celebration with family and suddenly instead they were being thrown into all intensive purposes felt like a war and i remember this both of us as reporters in the new york times saying it feels like a war zone and they did not have enough ppe and they felt like they were really left behind and left out to dry by the city government and the federal government, they felt like they didn't necessarily have everything they needed when they were going to confront. i think there will be a real mental health epidemic following on the pandemic that hospitals will have to deal with, doctors will have to deal with the ordinary people in new york will have to deal with and i think it's hard to wrap

celine gounder, professor of infectious diseases at nyu, part of a panel that advised the biden transition team on covid-19. doctor, given the gravity of today's news, in your line of work, i would like to begin with you and begin with this comment from dr. fauci earlier tonight. >> there is a survey that says about 30% of people who are saying they wanted to wait for the stamp of approval, for the imprimatur, to get vaccinated. i hope they come through on what their word and their statement was. for those still hesitant, i believe we should have many more mandates. if people want to participate in things that have the safety of other people at stake, they need to get vaccinated. >> so doctor, for you, a two-part question, if you would. number one, how big a benchmark is this to you and your colleagues in your profession, but part two, do you really think this will change the minds of anti-vaxxers? >> brian, i don't think this is really going to sway people who have been reluctant to get vaccinated. if you look at that same kaiser family foundation survey that dr. fauci was citing there, m

joining us now is professor arthur kaplan, he is the director of medical ethics at nyu's grossman schoole of the authors of the op-ed, and professor, one of the things you write about is there's been this approach of sort of personal freedom but that the time on that has really expired. why do you say that? >> hey, good morning. well, look, we have bent over backwards to respect the rights of the unvaccinated. we keep hearing my body, my choice, governors, legislators, particularly in those southern states we've heard about keep saying we've got to make sure there's no discrimination against the unvaccinated. we're still in the middle of a plague, and you have to choose sides and the side that i'm arguing morally, and my colleague richard florida is arguing in that op-ed is to say we've got to come down against the virus. of course we need vaccine passports. you shouldn't be able to enter places, restaurants, sporting events, theaters, unless you're vaccinated and we don't have any convenient, reliable way right now to prove that as we ignored the need for vaccine passports, even for int

doctor cÉline gounder, is an infectious disease doctor and a clinical assistant professor at nyu, doctorns me now, thank you so much for being on a show. on july the 8th this cdc and the fda issued a very public statement saying that booster shots were unnecessary. they said that in response to pfizer and moderna saying that they were necessary. now a little over a month later that is being reversed, that's is a u-turn over masking indoors, you've been on the biden team into before they've done a good job of fighting the virus overall. when it comes to messages, there been a lot of mixed messages? >> i am concerned about the messaging here, about the need for extra doses of vaccine, there is clear data that people who are immunocompromised, people who had solid organ transplants, medication, people who have aids, those are people who may need a additional dose of vaccine. as additional dose because i think when people hear boosters, they're thinking the flu shot that you get every year, we're really just talking about a third dose. there's also good data that people who are in nursing ho

i want to bring in neal katyal and melissa murray, nyu law professor. neal, it's very clear the committee is working and a lot of these questions are important. they're going to go forward on subpoenas. what do you think of a relatively novel legal dilemma or question if the house wants to go this route? >> i think jim jordan probably didn't have a subpoena in mind when he asked to get involved with the select committee. it's certainly what he deserves. i think what you're seeing is a serious committee that wants to get to the bottom, get to the truth. it's not a partisan thing. republicans like adam kinzinger and liz cheney who want to get to the bottom of this. it's not just a bunch of democrats. i agree with you that it is a somewhat novel question. i don't think it's right to say -- it's true. it's not like trump's totally bogus claims of immunity that he's been making for the last four years and have lost all the way up to the supreme court. it's not that bad. it is pretty clear to me that congress, if they authorize these subpoenas should get it,

midwestern mom from ohio and she got her own talk show this season because my son chase dreams is at nyuider, couldn't be in a better position, i feel, and extremely fortunate. >> jimmy: and you're from ohio >> yeah, i'm from ohio so it's like, you know, i mean, i relate to the character because i still feel excited about show business. >> jimmy: me too >> you do? yeah >> jimmy: i do, i love the whole thing -- >> it's so funny, i met jimmy years ago at a party remember you were with a friend and i remember i told you you reminded me of james cagney. and i was like, "you're going to -- this kid --" do you remember that it was like a party in l.a >> jimmy: yeah, l.a. yeah, yeah >> yeah, in l.a. and that was before you got on "snl" and i knew it the second i met you. >> jimmy: the "james cagney" was the best, so i was like -- >> yeah, and you were like, "really? he was a kid >> jimmy: i'll never forget that you said that that's so fun. and look at us now >> i know, and look at us now. >> jimmy: now we're on a a show - >> have you done any bed sevens lately >> jimmy: no >> no, you've been to

according to nyu's brennan center for justice, 18 states have passed 30 laws that restrict voting access. meaningful voting protections that counter those laws can only come at the federal level. that effort made some progress this week but perhaps not enough. on tuesday, house democrats passed hr 4, the john lewis voting rights advancement act. it passed 219-212, straight party line with 0 republican support. at the moment, it appears to have no path to passage. this is what happened to the for the people act. it got stuck behind a gop filibuster and that's a big reason we're seeing these marches today. in a way, the crowds are marching for an audience of two. senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. these moderate democrats are resisted calls to remove the filibuster from legislation on voting rights. doing that would let the democrats mass the measures with a razor thin majority assuming senators manchin and sinema vote for the right too. what's next in the fight for voting rights especially if the bills fail to become law. joining us now is democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee

celine gounder, an internist, infectious disease specialist, and epidemiologist at nyu's school of medicinewhat senator manchin said, for a moment. just to -- as an illustration for people. he, saturday night, he's had people over. a dozen, he thinks, senators and maybe a few more people. let's call it 15 people over. outdoors, he says. um, saturday night. all, vaccinated. and because there a risk? we, now, know that senator graham, probably, had covid then. he tested positive for covid on monday. it was saturday night, when he was feeling sick saturday night. what's the threat level at an event like that for vaccinated people? >> lawrence, this is, in fact, a very low-risk event if, in fact, all of this was happening outdoors, as we've been told. this was a group of all fully-vaccinated people. and the risk of a breakthrough infection -- so infection, not disease -- breakthrough infection is only 0.01%. of those who have a breakthrough infection, your risk of disease, hospitalization, and death, are much, much lower, even still. so this is, in fact, a very low-risk event for all those who

you had the nyu students who graduated last april, and they had this early graduation on web-ex. and their administrator came on and greeted them as the covid army who is coming into battle. i think as young people who had been expecting to spend, you know, a couple of months preparing for residency, which is really intense, taking in the lessons of medical school, maybe doing some celebrations with family, instead they were being thrust into what for all intents and purposes really felt like a war. there were these headlines that the doctors felt like it was a war zone and didn't have enough ppe. they felt they were left behind, left out to dry by the city and federal government. they felt they didn't have all the support they needed while they were going into confront impossible circumstances. i think there's going to be a real kind of mental health epidemic following on this pandemic that hospitals are going to have to deal with, that doctors are going to have to deal with, that ordinary people, new yorkers are going to have to deal with, and it is going to be hard to wrap our

in the center virtual seat, fox news contributor and professor of medicine at nyu, dr. marc siegel. well, kayleigh, when we talk politics we often will acknowledge that it so blood sport. and for a governor who we know has joked about the allegations against him and has made at least inferences that the stories were not true. albeit in accordance but he did not deny. he said he either didn't remember or he didn't mean so many of those things that made those women uncomfortable. the politics, though, is what he capitulated to. not the law. the politics. >> kayleigh: that's exactly right. what you just witnessed was the stunning downfall of the democrats' darling. this is someone who was floated as a presidential candidate potentially, someone whose name was mentioned. being better or superior to joe biden even at times. you witnessed his stunning downfall, you nailed it. it was because of politics. what we just watched his governor cuomo resigning, and democrats just passed that monstrosity of an infrastructure package. that was in the bottom right corner of our screen because andrew

she is a senior fellow the aat nyu's global afirz and focused on conflict resolution in afghanistan for the u.s. and for the u.s. we appreciate you being here today. last week 46 senators in this country wrote to officials asking for a special humanitarian pathway to the u.s. for women and leaders in afghanistan. you requested something similar. how urgent is this moment now? what do their lives look like under taliban control? >> prigt now, everyone that i speak to, every woman leader that i speak to isn't hiding. they're in their houses. the lights are off. trying to stay as discreet as pos ubl at their locations. they're very much afraid for their lives. they're desperately looking to be evacuated. they've gone back and forth to the airport several times with their children. sometimes staying as long as 30 hours. without food, without medicine and they call other people that they know sobbing and begging to help them find a way out. u.s. is the staunchest allies. they're on front line and fighting for democracy, women's rights and values that u.s. and the west said that it would supp

this is the nyu junior, rikki. so brave of you.ege campus for the viewers? >> certainly. there is a certainly idealogical orthodoxy on campuses and the fact is that 63% of college students report being afraid to speak their minds on all sides of the idealogical spectrum. unfortunately the reality there is an oppressive palpable fear of saying the wrong thing, offending people, not towing the line politically properly and that is really a pressing intellectual and idealogical autonomy and for young people who are supposed to be coming into our own politically and unfortunately the stifling of free, open, honest, controversial expression and unfettered debate is very palpable on college campuses right now. lawrence: so true, ricky. one of the things i learned on college campuses. not all students come in liberal. those who are conservative, even libertarian, there is an attempt by professors, administrators to shame those students. did you experience any of that? >> yes, absolutely. i have spoken out and i have certainly been cancele

joining us to talk more about covid's risk to pregnant women is an associate professor of obstetrics at nyumorning concerned. can we step back a bit and talk a bit why pregnant women are at such risk for covid and what are those risks? >> yeah. absolutely so in general, pregnant women are a more vulnerable population of patients. they're more likely to be immunocompromised. they're more vulnerable to infection and disease, which is why every season we vaccinate our pregnant women in a routine season against flu, for example, or give other vaccines in pregnancy. it's really important,because this population is so vulnerable we treat them with extra care. so having a covid vaccine really arms and protects them against severe disease. >> separate fact from fiction here, because there's a lot of stuff, a lot of wacky stuff on social media this idea about, you know, ibf treatments, infertility and these vaccines affecting those things what do we know about that >> there is no evidence that the covid vaccine affects fertility, increases your rates of any complications like miscarriages. one we of

joining me now is nyu langone associate professor of medicine, dr. roshiniraj. from my research, understanding of this, there are nuances put us in a new position, maybe a better position than we were in march of 2020? >> well, high, good afternoon, jackie, yes. the delta variant is certainly worrisome. we're seeing caseloads as high as back in february. that is worrisome trend. this is very much a variant or disease primarily affecting the unvaccinated. what is hopeful programs as people do get more vaccinated, we really reduce that population that hasn't received a single shot we'll see numbers go down as opposed to up. that is a big if, if we get more people vaccinated. want to point out the variants surge when rye virus is circulated. continue to see more variants. we'll go through the whole greek alphabet if we're not careful if woe don't put a halt to the virus. only way we can do that is more vaccinations. jackie: you look at the statistics, more than 50% of the country fully vaccinated. we're headed in the right direction. maybe the progress is not as qu

former law clerk to justice sonia sotomayor, now an nyu law professor and msnbc legal analyst.s someone who has been in the room, melissa, help us understand how this went down and why how it went down matters. >> so this is a decision from what's known as the shadow docket and these are the emergency appeals the court takes up on an expedited basis and, again, without full briefing or even oral argument. this is a case where we didn't have full ventilation of both sides because it's happening in a very expedited, rushed fashion because of the emergency nature of this. so that's one of the things we've been talking about a lot over the last couple of years. the supreme court has been more and more active deciding on the shadow docket. a lot less opportunity to see the work of the court when they make decisions that will be decided. >> first i want to ask you a question about the specific ruling because the order stated it is indisputable the public has a strong interest in combatting the spread of the covid-19 delta variant but not to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable
