>> absolutely, especially in a place like rutgers where there is a lot of progressive people.o you will vote for especially if it is for trump. there is a little trepidation in what you say and in the social media age knowing that in one instance anybody can record you and it is blasted online. it is not only your fellow peers your ostracizing but the entire world. >> i agree, on campus there is a danger of it being a ideological echo chamber. i have seen it break up friendships and it is a shame we are not able to have more political conversations but it does vary by region. >> what are your thoughts about the choices you have? >> i think earlier when i said i was nervous, this is why. i do not think either candidate inspires a ton of confidence for me. former president trump, i do not judge him as a great leader and i do not feel like harris has a track record that speaks for itself. especially compared to past elections. >> when you think about what qualities you look for in a leader, do you see those qualities in either candidate? >> neither candidate is my first choice, i

they go to rutgers so they are special to me. of them have an interest in politics but we hear from people from the older generation. young people aren't paying attention to policies. they are not that serious. this crew sounded serious to me. >> yes, and i am more fearful for my job than ever before. what a great job you did moderating the focus group. thank you for that. that is echoed in the types of groups that i conduct and the people i talked to. we heard a thoughtful, very serious minded group of young people. i could sense especially at the end, a sense of struggle that they all shared, and this hopefulness in the future. this cautious optimism. it is a group of people who are taking their vote seriously. i got the sense that not all of them are completely locked down. i think we know where their values are, but they were not locked down. they knew they were going to vote and for whom and why. there's more work to do from the campaigns. >> harvard will never have me. your job is safe. these kids i spoke to are in the blue

a professor of history at rutgers university. it's an unlikely story. talk about how this shy alabama farm boy grew up to be the one that helped drive the steak in to the heart of jim crowe. >> it's an amazing story. i think readers who know john lewis from television and the years in congress are going to learn a lot about him from the book. he comes really as you say abject poverty. his parents were sharecroppers who scraped together enough for their own plot of land. one of ten siblings in the worst of jim crowe, alabama. he saw and felt the sting and evil of segregation. he gets to college and goes away from home really for the first time to nashville, where under james lawson and other ministers, they take up the sit- in movement. the first in a wave of actions through the early '60s that topples segregation, turns john lewis into a national figure and instills fighting for a set of values they think our democracy sorely needs to protect and preserve. >> david, one of the things -- and i'm grateful you wrote the book. i intend to read it since it w

one is northbound, 688 rutger road. and that's causing slow traffic way back from danville. and then the other way around. we have 680 southbound, a crash blocking the two left lanes heading south toward danville. and that is backing traffic up all the way into concord. so if you look at all the slowing, it's slow out of danville, it's slow out of pleasant hill, concord, just to that area because of all those crashes. give yourself plenty of extra time. i think that may be holding some people back. it is a lighter day anyway, and the bay bridge is light and that's pretty good to see that. you can see there's no major problems there. and if you're driving this morning on 580 out of dublin pleasanton, that looks good as well. 750. let's bring steve back in with today's weather. >> even on a good day that's a tough one sometimes. >> so it is a tough one. >> yes. all right. native santa cruz is really good on x. twitter represents the area well. sent in a beauty here i do like this one. thank you sir. i really like how sitting on west cliff and being greeted by this every mornin

couch's mentor and actively recruiting the next generation at the beginner farmer training program at rutgersin new jersey. >> we absolutely have to have a next generation of farmers to produce food for us. >> reporter: the three-phase program begins with online classes covering farming basics, followed by hands-on training. select students develop a farm business plan and put it into action. they can rent land from the program with access to equipment and agricultural experts. >> the radiation from the sun will break that down. >> we are tracking a very diverse group of people to our program. 60% are women. almost that many percentge are minorities. >> and you just pluck it right off. >> reporter: novices like couch, many without afarm background, are seek customers in a non-traditional route. >> what does your generation bring to farming? >> we're just going about farming a bit differently. a little bit against the grain and leveraging things like social media, like fund-raising. >> just let the ground get nice and moist -- >> and just building communities that people are attracted to want

no, to add account as a professor at rutgers university in new brunswick, she says the united states is part of what she called israel genocide in gossip. the u. s. has already shot itself in the foot exposed itself as, as not only supporting is real genocide against the policy and people, but being a primary source of it. this is a us genocide against palestinians. what we're seeing in the expanding waterfront is that this is a us war against air br, james and across the middle east, the continuation of what we saw in the illegitimate illegal attack on iraq in 2003 in that region change. now continuing into the present under the auspices of self defense, but which we must understand as colonial aggression palestinians have not been killed in brutal crossfire. palestinians have been targeted date or the target of attack. their destruction is the objective of israel's operation. as much as has been made clear by their deliberate starvation, the attack on their residential buildings, the decapitation of their hospitals, so that they can not even be treated. the denial of safe quarter,

his brother went to rutgers and got his master's in education is now teaching in baton rouge and cameto my book client and he said and i was miss mckee even as i made it i this mickey rooney and i'm like yes i said i even wrote about it my book when your brother reached out to me because his mom came to and she's like, you know, i just i'm so i'm so thankful that you taught my boys and you just can't take that away from me no matter how hateful people are. all they have is their hate. i have thousands. i counted it up one day. i've taught over 8000 students. you know know, and it if at least you know one of them. i changed that's more than these people they don't have that i feel for them so and so you've you've offered a lot of support to students. well, excuse me you taught a lot of students and i know like you have a lot colleagues who actually you really inspire them. do you find that people reach out you often? yes i you know, because we've each other for years, you know, i kind of i had so many people i learned from when i was starting out as a school librarian. so like i tried

and so, why -- why at columbia did it go this way other universities -- my wife went to rutgers.ructively the president, he welcomed the activists, said universities learn from activism. this is the energy that helps us update our policies and, you know, make ourselves better. >> i went to rutgers too and it wasn't a smooth transition along the entire point i saw video of protesters where holloway was there, and then left and the jewish students who were there were kind of left with a group of angry protesters he was taken out with police guards >> okay. >> so it has not been smooth everywhere it hasn't been columbia there for sure. >> right. >> but i think the campuses that have been worse are like ucla and columbia in the middle of really large cities where the student activists are ringed by professional activists and they start to see their mission as a line with these more seasoned activists. both sides i think at columbia became co-opted by more extreme groups >> the tolerance is a one-way street on a lot of these liberal campuses and i wonder how that happened over years a

david rutgers joins us, senior writer at dispatch, and the reporter for owe 'tis. all right, evan, vp harris, everywhere, all at once. she is talking about the different audiences from call her daddy, to the view, to howard stern, to stephen colbert. what do you make republican arguments that it is only the friendly viewers? she went on "60 minutes" last night, and republicans jumped all over it, saying she did a terrible job? >> i mean donald trump decided not to go on "60 minutes" to take the tough questions. vice president harris is doing a strategy that makes a lot of sense. you speak to a number of voters, where you find them, things like that podcast you mentioned. it has a huge audience of people, young women, specifically who harris needs to speak to. this is what you're used to seeing from the presidential candidate at this time of the year and talking to the audience, which is less normal for this time of the year and for this campaign. i don't see anything too surprising about them getting out as you can and anywhere you can right now. >> but there is a

. >> i talked to a group of kids from rutgers this week and they said that students don't feel like they can express views if they even border on conservative views because in a young super progressive world there -- immediately people are going to say your macho pig, you're xenophobic, you're the worst, you're toxic and so again i'm not saying these boys are the greatest but i am saying if she wants every vote that counts, there's a way to think about every demographic out there and say how do we bring them in. >> so, here's the problem. i agree, true democracy means we are having the debates we need to have. we are understanding the experiences of all our people and anyone vying for anybody's boat is able to figure out how to talk to all of those demographics and that includes young men who are white. >> and black. >> and everything, and everything. i mean, my point is here that i think we have to acknowledge that there is something going on in this culture that is deeply unhealthy and dangerous and it's very difficult to put it all simply on a politician running for office of what som

. >>> i sit down with young voters from rutgers university to find out what's driving their vote in thishe 11th hour gets underway on this monday night. >>> good evening on

david rutger joins us, senior writer at dispatch and author of "in trump's shadow, the battle for 2024 and the future of the gop." ms molly, let's start with john kelly's comments. what did you make of v.p. harris' campaign capitalizing on them today? >> i mean it would be foolish not to comment on someone who had been trump's longest serving chief of staff, right? >> who agrees with many of his policies. >> right, this is not ideological, this is democracy. he's really worried. to get people like this, generals like this to come out and make a statement, i think he saw the clock was ticking and was so worried about donald trump coming back to power. it's really meaningful. look, the message is this is not a normal election, right? harris and liz cheney have nothing in common except they are both very, very worried about democracy. and i think that kelly supports that thesis. >> david, do you think this will have an impact? people like to say oh, the liberal media, the establishment. they're hysterical. they freak out over every trump thing. john kelly is no liz cheney. john kelly wasn

for more on this case and food safety i am joined by donald schaffner focused on the subject at rutgersy. thank you so much for joining us. with this case, many of us will remember the jack-in-the-box hamburger outbreak of e. coli in the early 1990's. this case with mcdonald's doesn't seem to rise to that magnitude. still, as somebody who studies these incidents, how surprised are you that this outbreak is occurring at mcdonald's, essentially an american institution? >> i'm really surprised that it was mcdonald's that got hit by this particular problem. they take to safety seriously, they put a lot of pressure on their employees and on their suppliers to make sure that stuff like this does not happen. >> we should say that the outbreak appears to be in the past tense, occurring between september 27 and october 11th. is it normal to have that lag time between when people start to get sick from a food product and when the public hears about? >> the cdc is working all the time to do whole genome sequencing. but it takes a while to put together a picture saying that all of these people are

joining me now is david greenberg, professor of history at rutgers university and author of the newlyhn lewis: a life". professor greenberg, thank you very much for coming to the sunday show, why did he want to write this book? >> i started this book in the middle of the trump years and i had just finished the book on the history of political spin. people were saying you've got to write a sequel about trump. i was thinking i want to get as far away from donald trump as possible, and i started having a eureka moment, i realized there was no biography of john lewis, and at the same time, he was someone who embodied -- unlike trump, what's best about our democratic traditions, so that set me off. >> did you learn anything about him that you didn't already know? a big, surprising thing? >> a great deal. from little things like the fact that he was a phenomenal collector of art, of african american art, he filled his home with it, to the role of cheney and how things set up to establish the african american museum of history and culture. but the big thing, i think, was discovering how much

the cup is a professor at rutgers university in new brunswick. she says the united states is part of what she called as rounds of genocide and gaza. the u. s. has already shot itself in the foot exposed itself as, as not only supporting is real genocide against the policy and people, but being a primary source of it. this is a us genocide against palestinians. what we're seeing in the expanding waterfront is that this is a us war against air br, james and across the middle east, the continuation of what we saw in the illegitimate illegal attack on iraq in 2003 in that region change. now continuing into the present under the auspices of self defense, but which we must understand as colonial aggression palestinians have not been killed in brutal crossfire. palestinians have been targeted date or the target of attack. their destruction is the objective of israel's operation. as much as has been made clear by their deliberate starvation, the attack on the residential buildings, the decapitation of their hospitals, so that they can not even be treated

ashley coning is an assistant research professor at rutgers university and she's also the director ofhe eagleton center for public interest polling, and she's in morristown, new jersey. thank you so much for being here with us. >> politicians going on podcasts and new media is, it's not exactly new so what seems different now in 2024? yeah i mean this is a win-win on both sides of the aisle because they're not subject to the hard questions that traditional media would give them moreover, they're trying to court low propensity voters, crucial voting blocs that may not be tuning in to traditional media. we know that traditional media, among many demographics is on the decline. >> all right, so what's aside from the fact that it maybe it's safer for them that they won't be grilled the way they might be on, on say, cnn. what is it about the format that attracts politicians to these new media? >> yeah, these are reaching demographics. they may not reach with traditional media and especially, let's make no mistake. this is a campaign in an election about gender. and trump has certainly play

it's jammed up where you lose three lanes just around rutger road. this crash still blocks your left lanes southbound. they've called for one lane to be closed. there's clearly a distraction and slowing coming off the walnut creek interchange. that's a tough section for 680 24 and 680. in the northern section. that's just fine, though, showing you the friday light for the rest of contra costa county. highway four now shows the bill with more traffic coming in, heading eventually toward the bay bridge. a crash reported at the span, but we don't see anything in this live camera. it looks like traffic is still able to make it through the toll plaza and onto the span without any major problems. anywhere south of there. looking at a friday, lighter volume here we're looking at northbound 101 with some slowing. now in spots at capital expressway and up past 280, which is starting to see more traffic build as well. heading toward downtown san jose. back to you. thank you mike. 651 for you right now, and as stanford doctor is in the fight of his life, this i
