"changing business conditions" cited by disney as the reason. is there any doubt that this is because of changing political conditions? it is pretty broad and actually it is pretty broad and actually i think there is plenty of evidence and reporting to suggest that this move, this change may have happened regardless, just because of changes that are happening within disney. bob iger the ceo has been systematically fun doing a lot of what his predecessor did and part of that was this pronounced move of the engineers, as they call them, from california to florida, the problem with ron desantis is now he is stepping on the hornets nest he is given disney the perfect scapegoat for all of their issues, including this one, and it is a plausible story for anyone, either half orfull plausible story for anyone, either half or full paying attention that desantis is part of the calculation, but it's a pretty broad descriptor, changing business conditions. i suppose whatev

he is a professor of journalism at princeton university and also a former board member of the international press institute. he joins us now from amman, toad, we're seeing journalists increasingly under threat. despite the conversations we have on days like today, i think the wild press freedom index now classifies what 31 countries in a very serious situation. the lowest ranking that's 10 more than just 2 years ago. is this being driven by government or, or individuals or both? i am sorry i, i know that the situation of the journalist is, is quite bad. the immunity by an unsafe actors, as well as by governments is appalling. the fact that, as you said, sharing a block then others have not had those killing her, have not been held accountable. but we also have a problem of the am employment and safety of journalists, but also the employment of journalist. we're seeing more and more that the giant did, digital companies are taking away a lot of the jobs of journalists, and that is creating also self censorship among journalists who are trying to keep their jobs by being a nicer to the govern

the children killed in the 1985 move bombing, tree and delisha africa, were being used by princeton university university of pennsylvania's penn museum of archeology and anthropology in an online video course without the family's knowledge or consent. the police bombing may 13, 1985, came after an earlier standoff with move in 1978 ended in a hail of police gunfire, leaving one police officer dead. move members say they didn't fire a shot and that the officer was a victim of friendly fire. nevertheless, nine of them were convicted of his murder and given life sentences. one of them, debbie africa, secretly gave birth in her cell, just five weeks into her sentence. she managed to keep her son, mike africa jr., with her for three days before alerting the guards. seven of the move 9 are now free after serving 40 years. two died in prison. for more, we are joined by mike africa, jr. he has a nasty is put a down payment on a house philadelphia bombed in 1985 in order to reclaim it after the city used eminent domain to seize it and turn it into a police substation. he is a co-author of the book "50

lauren is a princeton university political scientist and scott is the former d.c. democratic party chairman. thank you both for taking time with us today. lauren, trump world sources have told our reporters that the way they see it the more republicans in the field, the better trump's chances are, they want to keep encouraging as many people to throw their hat in the ring as possible. does it square with reality? >> they are right. when trump says a lot of these people are running for second place i think that is unfortunately true. i'm so shocked at the extent to which this is the same story as 2016. it was a huge field of 17 candidates, trump comes in with name recognition already in the 90s. the next closest person is jeb bush in the # 0s and trump spent the whole time attacking him until he was literally off the debate stage. that's what is happening again. desantis happens to have a political ace up his sleeve. that's not such a secret to contrast trump, which is the way he dealt with covid in florida. he had very similar outcomes for better outcomes than othe

joining us now are eddie glaud, chair of the department of african americanep studies at princeton university, and jemele. thank you both for joining me tonight. professor, how do you square what carlson and fox news have done to america with his very clear acknowledgement that hate is cancerous when it comes to himself and his own body? >> it's almost a kind of distillation of the work that mobs do in attacking scapegoats. so imagine the people who participate in a lynching, imagine them individually as persons who think of themselves as decent. but getting caught up in the frenzy of the mob and suddenly findb themselves bloodthirsty. and the scapegoat, remember, works as a way to consolidate a sense of fragmented idea. that's too academic. what do i mean? when there's a sense people feel a sense of terror and panic about who they are, when the incoherence of america makes itself known, there's a need for a scapegoat, the violence directed towards the other whether it's black t people, whether it's immigrant, whether it's gay people, women. so p that scapegoat becomes a basis for a sense of

for more on this let's go to princeton university political scientists lauren wright. great to see you. let's are senator scott. he has such a compelling story please most prominent black conservative official in the nation we heard them talk about the victimization in this sort of thing but what you expect them to run on? how can his message of resignation? what you are absolutely right. he has a very compelling personal story ps a compelling record, especially as being a business friendly candidate that works well with the trump administration and was seen as sort of the backbone some of those economic policies. the very, very difficult part of this the crux of the issue is how do you get from 2% or tim scott is an most polls right n now, 2:30 or 40% or a place where you can compete with trump? frankly the more of these candidates that jump into the race, the better for president trump because it divides the field and it actually benefits the more established candidate. so, tim scott has a great story for your absolute right. but a lot of ground to cover frequency ha

. >> reporter: what the people want is a ban on those universities. princeton became the first and only university to take that step. it created a step of 90 fossil fuel companies it . will not accept donations from . in a process called disassociation, present targeted companies which are what princeton says are the most polluting segments of the industry and had a history of spreading corporate disinformation about climate change. the biggest name on the list is exxon, which said it had donated $12 million to princeton. in a statement, exxon writes, close collaboration between industry and academia is practical to find the solutions to climate change. >> what is great about what princeton did as it has a process for re-association with companies that can later show they met certain criteria. and that is great because then the university is really in position to say, look, like we are really constructively engaging with these companies and contributing to shifting the needle on their actions. >> reporter: student organizing at stanford is beginning to pay off.
