kelly jane torrance of "the weekly standard" and julian zeleny is a professor at princeton universitythe president spoke on trade in japan. in fact, he was talking about trade right before dinner. let's just take a listen to what was said. next ten days we travel to china, south korea, philippines and vietnam and seek new opportunities for cooperation in commerce and we will partner with friends and allies to pursue a free and open indo-pacific region. we will seek free, fair, and reciprocal trade. this future is only within our grasp because of you. >> of course we know that north korea is the top of the list, but also trade is hugely important as the president just referred to. and, yet, this is the same president that, of course, the first act he did was pull the u.s. out of transpacific partnership. kelly, i'm wondering, do you expect some sort of trade deal out of this or at least a framework? >> it's interesting to hear donald trump uses the words free trade, isn't it? it's not something he says very often. actually the last time i can remember was when he first met canadian pri

let's discuss this with cnn political analyst julian zelizer, historian and professor at princeton university. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning to you, sir. the haiti situation's a difficult one. nearly 60,000 will be sent back by 2019, but they had temporary status. at some point, they had to go back home. >> that's true, but what becomes difficult under the trump presidency is to understand whether this program should end, which many critics of the president say this is not the time to end it, or whether this is part of an ongoing war against immigration. >> but will it ever be time to end their temporary status? >> well, there is time to end the temporary status. it's not clear that it's now. and this fits in a broader pattern of the administration to go after programs that have benefited different kinds of immigrants, temporary or other. >> historically, this has been a program that shows the heart of the american people and the american role in the world, right? when something terrible happens, mudslides in nicaragua, earthquake in haiti, the united states opens its door

he joins us today from princeton university in the u.s.re he treats his -- pieces -- where he teaches creative writing. it what do you think they stun your time here in berlin, would you think it is about germany that made today's ruling possible? jeffrey: what is it about germany? i don't know. i think there is a fair amount of free thinking over there. when i wrote "middlesex," right upstairs was th a sex shop. there was a fair amount of study and thought going into what constitutes gender and different variations about it. i think this is something that you can trace back in germany to the 1920's, investigations, analysis of gender and sexuality, trying to figure out, trying to understand how we can deal with it as a society. i would say that is probably why it is emerging in germany before some other countries. brent: and when we are talking about this issue, gender variance, not be forced to choose -- being forced to choose male or female, we see in the u.s. that it can be politicized very quickly. just look at the controversial bathr

the out, even though she is an american, born and raised in puerto rico, with goings from princeton universityrgetown university law center, and johns hopkins university. she has been asked to come to california with the class, she said. she has rejected it. we never asked why. velasquez can't go home gem. in april 2013, an indictment was unsealed against her in federal district court in washington, dc, accusing the former lawyer for the u.s. agency for international development for spying for cuba for 15 years. most significantly, as a graduate student at johns hopkins school of advanced international studies, velasquezs ally recruited annabelle montez for cuban intelligence. they overlapped with a professor who worked for the state department and was also a cuban spy. though they don't appear to have formed a classic espionage cell, the presence of three cuban agents inside one thief top feeder programs to u.s. diplomatic and intelligence services shows just how deeply the castro regime penetrated american academia. montez would rice to become the premier analyst on cuba at the pentagon's mi

earlier i spoke with michael oppenheimer, professor of geosciences at princeton university: the mainong—standing understanding of global warming mainly that human made gas is responsible. that the warming will grow larger and larger in the future. if we do not eliminate the emissions. in the meantime, there will be substantial impact and we need to get ready for rising sea levels, making flooding and storms much will difficult to deal with. excess heat is ready killing people. we are seeing a pervasive assault on the environment by greenhouse gases. the irony i guess the people like yourself is that, although in this report there is a clear message, a report there is a clear message, a report essentially commissioned by the government, the government is not very likely to take what it says on board. well, the government is interesting. there was an election between the time this report was commissioned. we have a new administration at many people in that administration, from the president down, have expressed scepticism. unwarra nted scepticism, i would say. as a result, a lot of sci

earlier, i spoke to michael oppenheimer, professor of geosciences at princeton university, to get histhing that stands out is that it reckon firms the long—standing picture of the threat of global warming. namely, long—standing picture of the threat of globalwarming. namely, human build up of gas is to blame for the warming already. the warming will grow larger and still be largely eliminate the emissions of greenhouse gases. in the meantime there is going to be substantial impacts and we need to get ready for it. rising sea—levels are taking away areas on the coast and making flooding more difficult to deal with. excess heat is killing people. so we are saying an assault on the environment from greenhouse gases and my own... the irony i guess for people like yourself is that although there is in this report a very clear message, although there is in this report a very clear message, a although there is in this report a very clear message, a report essentially commissioned by the government, the government is not very likely to take what it says on board? well, there was an election i

. >> i want to bring in princeton university professor.hort say the president has serious durnz about the senate race in alabama. serious concerns about the allegations against roy moore. why won't he say that or even tweet it? >> president trump usually doesn't refrain from saying a lot about things that matter. we have heard almost nothing from him. you would at least have to think that partisanship is part of it that he is being silent to protect a republican candidate. that is the best interpretation we can give. really compared to everything else from today's news to senator franken we have heard absolute silence from the president. >> some prominent senators suggested if moore is elected he should be expelled, senate leaders, house leaders say they believe the women. you have a new piece about this idea of if he is elected could he be expelled. you say just floating that idea out there might actually give republicans in alabama another reason to vote for moore. explain that. >> republicans are almost out of options. they wanted moore

julian zelleitzer from princeton university, and samantha vingrad, who served on president obama's nationald to see you both. you first, six months ago flynn's attorney said he'd use the fifth amendment unless granted immunity from prosecution. if he doesn't get a deal, so to speak, but he is, quote, unquote, cooperating with the special counsel, what potentially could that be leading to? >> well, this brings us someone who was in the white house for a time, unlike paul manafort, and so that switches the narrative to the election to the presidency. it could also bring us information both about the financial ties that advisers like flynn had, in this case with turkey that were not always put forward in -- in documents, and at the same time the obstruction issue revolved in part about flynn with statements by president trump that he wanted the flynn investigation to go away. so it actually is quite important. he's a big piece of this puzzle inside the presidency, not just in the campaign. >> and samantha, president trump's lawyer said, quote, no one should draw the conclusion this means anyth

and julian zeleny is a professor at princeton university. good morning, gentlemen. president trump's remarks to u.s. troops in japan pretty much void mentioning north korea by name but pretty clear who is talking about here. i should point out so far the president has stayed on message meeting with the troops and looks good and doesn't appear to make any major jabs at anyone. julian, so far, so good? >> well, so far, so good, but the question, itself, indicates the concern everyone has. how long will it last? it's not the kind of question we often are wondering about the president. this is a very long trip by any standards. and it's also going to be a pretty difficult trip to try to bring some kind of clarity and some kind of buy-in to stopping north korea. so there is many days ahead and as much as what the president says and what he negotiates, it's his demeanor, it's his words. all of that has to remain under control for this to be relatively successful. >> errol, two things struck me. one in that speech, no direct mentioning of north korea and then sort of the w

eddie laud, msnbc contributor and princeton university professor. and rick tyler, msnbc political analyst, republican strategist and co-founder, i'm going to say this is new for me and i really like the name of your firm, foundry strategies. jonathan, let's go to you, you wrote about what nancy pelosi has to say on "meet the press." i want to play a little more of that. >> as john reviews his case, which he know, which i don't -- >> why don't you -- how is it that you don't -- >> may i finish my sentence? that he will do the right thing. >> and is the right thing what, resign? >> he will do the right thing in terms of what he knows about his situation, that he's entitled to due process but women are entitled to due process as well. >> all right, is that just news of the day from yesterday, a fumble? or does a statement like that really hurt democrats? >> i think having spoken to a number of democrats yesterday, i think they believe that what they're seeing right now is acceding of the moral high ground on the sexual harassment interview. obviously w

julian zeleny is a historian and professor at princeton university is with us now as well as errol louisho is a political anchor for spectrum news. julian, start with you. what is it that hope hicks brings to the table here? specifically what are they going to ask of her? >> the most important part of her resume is that she has been with the president at most of the key moments in the story that we have been following. so she is a witness to everything that has happened from the response to the revelation about the now famous meeting in the trump tower to the president's responses, to the investigation, and the firing of the fbi director james comey. so this is someone who has been in the room during much of the mystery that we have been looking for. she is also someone who didn't have much experience and she was one of the people in the trump orbit who, i think, mueller understands could have been susceptible to some of what was going on with regards to russia. >> errol, how likely is it you believe she will talk candidly? we know loyalty is a big part of donald trump's value. >> i thin

george will and msnbc contributor and chairman of the center for african-american studies at princeton university, eddie glog. george, i'm going to guess you were up late watching the world series. >> yes. >> but we got to talk about the president. the president's sentiment here, i understand. so many people feel it. he is angry. he has said i want to see this guy get the death penalty. does it hurt this guy's ability to get a fair trial? >> it would be harder to taint the jury pool than to have the president of the united states declare you guilty before you've had the first step in due process. that said, this is probably not going to be that difficult a case for prosecutors. the man was there, the weapon was there, the motive. there's not a resistant witness. >> does he want the death penalty? does he want to be a martyr in the eyes of isis? >> probably, but i don't want to try to kind of figure out his motivation or his intent. what i do know is the incident has revealed once again president trump's authoritarian tendencies. so his immediate response is in some ways to kind of dismiss due pro

the former vice chair of the fed, alan binder, author of one of the great textbooks, out of princeton universityan honor to speak to alan today, during this historic moment at the federal reserve. during the q&a with john taylor didn'ton, rick michigan mix words on constrained discretion. "i think that the case of the actual way the fed acted and the way bernanke he acted, it is completely incorrect to say bernanke was a somebody who was advocating discretion and not being accountable to have a strategy and to be very clear about the strategy." this sounds like something, professor, you would teach at princeton. set up for us, the next fed chairman and the battle over mies, discretion, and shkin's constrained discretion. constrainedis discretion is a euphemism, otherwise central bankers would of the air,tes out which is they don't do. inflation targeting is suggested as one way to constrain discretion. the taylor rule would really constrain discretion. ben bernanke was a believer, i think, in inflation targeting. chairen, when he became of the fed it just didn't matter anymore because inflation

businessweek and eddie claude is from the center of african-american studies at the prestigious princeton universitybutor. it's not quite a roundtable, but it's a table. i think it works if you want to check with fox and friends and sean in the evening and they all begin to sing the greek chorus. let's go back to the uranium and whatever. it will not stop mueller, one inch, one step. >> of course, it will not stop robert mueller. you only have to look at the indictment and how methodical he's been in the process and the first set of charges and the outline to know how serious and how great this is, and all of our reporters show inside the white house while they're trying to project an image of calm and coolness and distancing themselves not only from the players involved but from the entire teener of the investigation, let's go back to hillary and uranium one and whether cfius looked at this deal and let's look at the clinton connections, and it's ludicrous and what the american people in particular focused on is his uranium dealings. >> it seems to me that it's easy to feed people talking points an

us this morning, cnn political analyst julian zelizer zelizer, historian and professor at princeton universityay tweets not good for this president. this feud with lavar ball, though, a professional troll who's largely followed the trump playbook in becoming a brand, big baller brand, what does this reveal about this president? >> first of all, it's an unnecessary fight that the president has just engaged in, and it reveals that he still loves to appeal to his core supporters with these kinds of provocative fights. we don't know why he selects certain fights and not others. he hasn't said anything about roy moore essentially -- >> why do you think? >> well -- >> it's been 11 days. he's said nothing about roy moore. >> with roy moore, i think partisanship is pretty strong, and the president is calculating, and we don't know if he's just being provocative with the basketball tweets or he's playing on certain racial animosities, which is something some of his critics have brought up. >> i mean, i -- those young men stood before the cameras and they made apologies for their actions and they thanke

we have msnbc john heilemann, chair of the department of african-american studies at princeton university, co-founder and ceo of axios jim vand high and nbc correspondent yes host of casey d.c. on msnpc. casey hunt is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> joe, wow, something's up for us, a very, very good morning for democrats. >> a very good morning for democrats. they haven't had a good morning like this, probably since barack obama got re-elected in 2012. this has been a long time coming for the democratic party and they actually, you can sort of see the clouds of doom coming in again a couple days ago, remember we went around the panel monday morning, asked everybody who they thought they were going to win, ed gillespie, ed gillespie, everybody was saying it. by yesterday afternoon, you started hearing sort of order restored, a lot of conservatives were saying, wait a second, you know, northam may end up winning. the same thing with democrats. it was big. this is big. you look at these races, they call these off year races but in virginia they always matter, 1993, george allen's

. >>> now, to an nbc news exclusive, a princeton university graduate student is serving ten years in an iranian prison for alleged espionage. now, his wife is opening up, calling her husband's detention unjust. stephanie gosk has that story. >> reporter: his wife is speaking out for the first time after iranian tv aired a story that laid out the details of the case against wong. some think that iran may have released footage, to put p pressure on the u.s. >> i working in the firestone library that he gives me a call. >> reporter: the american citizen in the ph.d. program in princeton, has been in custody in iran since 2016, charged with spying. >> when he was in political prison, his condition was really poor. it was extremely stressful. he attempted to commit suicide. >> reporter: over the weekend, the case took a new turn, when iranian state tv aired a story describing the charges against him. including trying to take 4,500 scanned documents out of the country. seeki seeki seek -- his head in his hands. >> the more knowledge the united states possesses about iran, the better for it

princeton. our second speaker today is stephen biddle, professor of political science and international affairs at my alma mater, george washington university. he's published widely, writing mostly about how modern social science can inform defense policy. his book "military power: explaining victory and defeat in modern battle" 3ub8d by princeton in 2004 won four prizes including harvard's huntington prize and the council on foreign relations arthur ross award silver medal. he's also published articles in all the leading jushlgz including international security, foreign affairs, survival, and the journal of strategic studies and shorter articles in the "new york times," "washington post," "wall street journal," and many others. professor biddle has testified many times before congress including on the wars in iraq and afghanistan. in 2007 he served on general david petraeus's joint strategic assessment team in baghdad. on general stanley mcchrystal's initial assessment team in kabul in 2009. and as a senior adviser to general petraeus's central command assessment steam in washington in 2008 and 2009. he was awarded the u.s. army superior c

- well the way we talk about it, at princeton review, it's one year of public university average across the states and that number for this year is $20,090, and remember that's the big four. on the other side of the spectrum, are schools that are private colleges, now from one year or private college, average across the united states, again the big four is $45,370. - wow, that's a lot. we always hear about financial aid, how do you find out if you qualify for that? - well, there are two ways to think about financial aid. financial aid given out based on a family's need and then based on academic merits or how well did you do in high school, how well did you perform on the sat and act. here's the important distinction about financial aid. one, for those dollars that you are applying to receive based on family need, you need to apply for financial aid through the fafsa form. again, that acronym stands for the free application for federal student aid. so that's active on your part, and your parent's part to make sure that you're filling out and completing that fafsa form and sending it in.

the study was commissioned by a group in princeton and done by the civil rights group at the university of california in l.a. i am joined now by gary orfield who's the professor at ucla who did the study. welcome to "chasing news". how are you? well, i have to ask you. >> the reaction was so what. >> basically what the court said was a half century ago that segregated schools in inherently unequal because they are not segregated by race, but also by poverty, by the nature of the curriculum and segregated by the likelihood and going to college and level of competition and the whole system of -- bill: can i ask you something? on that, wouldn't it have everything to do with economics. if you look at the makeups of new jersey. you got camden and newark that have a very, very high concentration of minority population. so you don't have a real mix in the city that would stand to reason they will reflect that? >> well, you got residential segregation that is serious. you got division of the metros into many separate school districts and nobody is doing almost anything to overcome it. there are

princeton. do you feel out of place there were not that many people in the class from ohio state? it was weird to me because i realized there were high school more than there were my university which struck me a little bit weird but it's definitely a culture shock more than any place that i'd been. i've been. the marine corps, ohio state. it was sort of astonishing how different the expectations and the background word from some of my classmates relative to where idi came from. >> bill clinton came from arkansas and is to take. did you say i'm a hillbilly from kentucky and ohio and i'm different i am as good as you guys or how did you fit in? >> i don't know that i ever introduced myself i am a hillbilly from ohio, how are you? i was a pretty strong ohio partisan even in undergrad i think everyone knew where i was fromyo, but i don't know if i ud that phrase. >> how did you do and feel? were you at the top to the bottom? >> i don't think i was at the top by any means. my wife was a top. i definitely didn't do as well as heard. the weird thing about yale is they don't give traditional grades comgrades comes with harw where you rank relative to your fears. i thought that i was

princeton, but he was particularly scathing today. what's happening in the senate deserves trumpiam superlatives=. superlatives prate of the 42 ideologically diverse economists surveyed by the universityone agreed that they would lead to substantial economic growth. there's the bigger picture. the smaller picture, the tactical picture is the budget committee today. they don't care about 42 economists, do they? >> not really. for the most part, they are looking specifically at this bill and trying to get it in the budget committee. democratscans, limit and you have one republican who ass -- ron johnson, who says of this moment, they do not have his vote. if you were to vote no, that would delay it and they would have to amass more support. you don't really expect ron johnson to put up stick in the ground and kill this bill, he is get -- he is just trying to leverage. it's more the economic side. they are basically seeing the end of the year and realizing they haven't put any major points on the board and they are looking at this as the one opportunity they have to do that. tom: do you agree with stephanie baker in london that there are up to 10 senators in play? >> it slightly because
