because looking at — there was a princeton university survey saying that facebook was the fastest andyou think that facebook can influence the way people vote? well, there were a lot of questions and issues that you raised in what you just said. i think that the reality here is we've learned a lot since about how politics work online since 2016 and there are a lot of different threats that we've worked hard to mitigate. so, for example, one big area that we were behind on in 2016 — but i think now are quite advanced at — is identifying and fighting these coordinated information campaigns that come from different state actors around the world whether it's russia, or iran, or in some cases china. in 2016, this was a new kind of tactic. but now since then, we've worked with governments and the intelligence community and other tech companies to identify — i think it's about 50 different campaigns like this around the world where different states were trying to interfere — and take those down before they were able to cause a lot of harm. we've taken down billions of fake accounts across th

talk about that is eddie glaude, jr., chair of the department of african-american studies at princeton universityd the author of the book "begin again: james baldwin's america and its urgent lessons for our own." welcome. eddie glaude, welcome to the "newshour". let's start with the news of today. it's been four days, as i mentioned. it took video documenting a man's death and days of protest, but the officer was arrested today. what's your reaction to that? >> it's a great first step. it doesn't dispel the deep distrust. we have seen, before, officers arrested or individual citizens arrested, and the process of -- the judicial process taking place, and many of those same folks have been acquitted. so this is just the beginning. it could have been an easy step, given what we saw on the video, but we don't want to over-- overreach. you know, we always want to congratulate ourselves in these sorts of moments. we just need to understand this as the first, perhaps, obvious step that should have been made four days ago. >> reporter: we've also seen night after night of growing tensions, people's frust

want to bring in danielle belton, editor-in-chief for "the root," and msnbc contributor and princeton university'sfrican-american studies department chair, and jessica bird is the founder at three-point strategies. jessica, i want to start with you and talk about these biden comments which is that there are folks who will say he made a mistake, he apologized, move on. is it that simple? >> no, it's not that simple. i've been working in candidate campaigns for the last 15 years, and specifically the last several years to elect progressive black women and to serve black movement visions at the ballot box. i find more often than not that conversations around black voters are reductionist and oversimplified. and the last 24 hours has been no different. you know, i have -- i listened to the apology. i appreciated that he used the term "cavalier" and restated his commitment to not taking black voters for granted. i think that that was important. there's a larger conversation at play here that can't be lost. that has been revisited time and time again and remains unravelled. and that is -- unresolved. th

. >>> i want to turn now to princeton university professor eddie glaude, chairman of the center for african-american studies. he's also, of course, an msnbc contributor. professor glaude, always good to have you, sir. would be nice to have you under better circumstances. you heard stephen jackson there saying change is going to start with his friend george floyd. it has been now more than five years since we saw those mass protests in ferguson, missouri over the death of michael brown. since then, eric garner, walter scott, ahmaud arbery. we could go on for the next hour. too many cases to name. are you as confident as stephen jackson there, that we have reached a tipping point? >> not really, craig. i understand his passion, but we need to read this moment as in some ways the consequence of a mode of policing, craig. so when we think about the death of george floyd. we have to put it in the context of 12 alleged misconduct on the part of that police officer where he was not held accountable. we have to think about it within the context of a broader form of policing. for example, you can't understan

liberty, although i am not a member, on behalf of the class of 1975, on behalf of of the entire princeton university community, and indeed the citizenry of the united states, i want to thank you for your service, i want to thank you for spending the time with us this morning. , ande deeply in your debt glad you are the chairman of the federal reserve. chair powell: thank you. glad you are the chairman of the federal reserve. i am just -- is her microphone on? i think her microphone might be off. i will pick up while you fix that. i want to get to michael mckee and asked one pressing question that i think a lot of viewers will be left with after that. alan blinder asked chairman powell is the fed responsible for increased income inequality and he said "absolutely not." theoryertainly a popular quantitatives easing has supercharged a lot of rich values held by the and therefore increased income inequality. there are couple of other ways i could think of. what do you think? michael: after 2008, the fed lending program did contribute income inequality because they were specifically designed to boost ass

house reporter for the "los angeles times" eli stokealls and eddie gloud jr., professor at princeton university and chair of the department of african-american studies. >>> tomorrow for memorial day president trump is heading to baltimore a city that remains under a stay-at-home order and continues to ban gathering of ten or more. baltimore readers repeatedly urged donald trump to the reconsider with the mayor saying in a statement, non-oh essential trips sends the wrong message to residents quoting i wish the leader of our country would set a positive example and not travel this holiday weekend. the white house says the plan remained as planned and mayor young joins me now. thank you for joining us. you don't think we're around the corner on this and why there continues to be a stay-at-home order in baltimore. what you do you understand the president is planning to do in baltimore tomorrow? >> i have no idea what he's planning to do here in baltimore but i do know that since friday we had over 4,400 confirmed cases. that's 8% increase in baltimore, and over 400 hospitalized and over 210 deaths

conference at any moment, but first, federal reserve chairman jerome powell shining a little bit on princeton university saying that the fed is strongly committed to using his tools and he also goes on to say he's not the negative interest rates so i'm going to bring in former advisor danielle demartina. right out of the gate, danielle, the way jerome powell said it, listen the american public is suffering he specifically talked about the suffering of women, and he went on to say, we're going to use every tool we've got forever. [laughter] essentially that's what he said, and i know someone like you whose more of a conservative purities probably was cringing. >> well, they say the difficulty is here because it's like hearing a doctor say to the patient we're going to keep administering the medicine that's not going to make you better, forever, so and that is inherently part of the problem with the feds toolkit is there are only so many ways it can directly get to access, where the pain points are, in the economy, and i've had two hashtags running on twitter. you can't print cash flow and you can't print
