let's keep the conversation going with jennifer grygiel, serco's -- syracuse university professor. this data set x is asking for, your reaction to that? jennifer: special thanks to everybody reading the fine print and highlighting things that are coming. that tells you something. there is the biometrics piece and he has clarified it is for validating that they are who they say they are 40's authenticated accounts. i think the fact that it is jobs, education, your job and your education tell you something. they tell you your income, how they can influence you. it is a demographic that provides targeted marketing, i would say. that is one reason for captioning that. -- for capturing that. ed: x talks about the impact this will have, impersonating people on the platform. i have had impersonation accounts of me to -- of me pop up. do you have a benefit of a doubt that will be a beneficial way of countering that? jennifer: i think that is what they are hoping for but bad actors can always get around things. the more trust we put into this authenticated identity, the more risk there migh

more, we turn to horace campbell, professor of african american studies and political science at syracuse university and activist and chairperson of the global pan african movement, north american delegation. he's also the author of "global nato and the catastrophic failure in libya." professor campbell, we welcome you back to democracy now! can you talk about what is happening as we speak, then meeting in nigeria, the most populous country in africa, of the ecowas leaders who set a deadline of this past sunday saying if the president was not returned, they would militarily intervene stop clearly, they haven't. what is your response? threatening that they better not attack. >> good morning. thank you for having me. oppose all military intervention . we should make that very clear. we oppose military intervention in malley, working a fatso, nigeria, guinea -- mali, burkina faso, nigeria, guinea. this recent destruction of civilian power and civilian leadership in niger is one of the nine sequences that has developed since the work of tara in that region. the fabrication of terror, the inte

joseph is next, syracuse, new seph, are you there? ok, hogans ville, mike, go ahead. caller: veteran, drafted vietnam, 1972. our armed forces are very much divided as you accurately said, sir. most of the officer corps when i was in were independents, and most of them still are because we were taught early in basic training that we all wear green and we all bleed red. my immigrant family came to this country in the it was after the armenians were slaughtered by the turks and were going back after grace. we all know that greece and turkey have been at war for thousands of years. that has never been resolved. would only make one suggestion. my grandfather served in world war i for the u.s. army. he said that is the price you pay for the privilege to live in this country. i would change the name of your book. instead of thanks for your service, how about "welcome home"? guest: that is a great suggestion. you raise a number of points. the military is a traditional halfway point into american society for those on the margins. we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the

judy: joanna dunaway is a and researcher at syracuse university's institute for democracy, journalism. she says the broad decline of local newspapers nationally, driven largely by plummeting revenue, and advertising moving online, contributed to the rising polarization seen across the country. >> national news has many benefits. it tends to frame politics in america through the lens of major conflicts between the two parties. for those americans or those citizens who are only watching the national news, they often only get this sort of game-frame style coverage that it's almost like sports reporting with democrats on one side and republicans on the other. judy: facing a growing showdown with republicans over america's ability to pay off its debt, president biden speaking to union members and ireland. >> carthy -- members in maryland. >> mccarthy is putting the blame on joe biden. >> we are both old enough to remember when republicans were going after democrats for defund the police. >> one of the things local news does is reminds people that, oh, that person, they may be of the other

judy: johanna dunaway, of syracuse university, says that in addition to the loss of shared identity,local news source closes, there are potentially a number of other impacts, including more corruption and irresponsible spending, more straight ticket voting, less competitive elections and lower turnout. >> and then it is just more of a cycle. the legislators or city council people or mayoral office folks realize this, and so why would they cater to the people who are not going to vote for them? so then they're only sort of behaving in lockstep with the preferences of the people who do vote. and those are the citizens who tend to have very strong partisan preferences and tend to have the most extreme policy preferences. and so then you get more polarizing behavior on the part of both the voters and those holding office. judy: do you think that our country can stay strong, that our democracy can stay strong well into the future with, frankly, you know, hollowed out local journalism? >> i worry that it can't because i worry that we are more susceptible to this kind of tribal attitude and

also see it in new york, you would see it in boston, and eventually in places like new bedford and syracuse, new york. and these organizations, these networks of people who would help individual girls, not only finding jobs, not only finding a place to live, food, clothes, because one of the first things you wanted to do was to change the clothes you didn't want to have the person walking around in the same clothing that they escaped in because that was an identifier. so. so these this network of people were very involved in also raising funds to help to assist and of course, to resettle individuals so that they could continue to live their lives. shortly thereafter, though, many of these individuals who escaped also wanted their family members to join them. in some cases, they escaped on their own. in other cases, as and this would be much later on, they escaped as family groups. but then they wanted all of their family members, both their immediate family members, as well as their extended family members to escape as well. it wouldn't be until 1831, though, that the term the underground r

earlier, i wasjoined by margaret talev, senior contributor at news website axios and director of syracusedemocracy, journalism and citizenship, to discuss all of these developments. thank you for being here. we just heard, first of all, about these latest updates about the investigation into the 2020 election in the us state in georgia. what is your sense of how this is case is unfolding and whether and when donald trump could be charged in the case? well, karl, this has the potential, even though it sounds kind of humdrum — like, "oh, fourth indictment" — to be really impactful for a few reasons. just based on the timing of the former lieutenant governor's invitation — or subpoena, i should say — to testify, this looks like it could come as soon as next week. it's important for a number of reasons. one is because it has been said that if former president trump were to win another term and to be convicted at the federal level, he'd have the ability to pardon himself. but in the us, that is not true in terms of a power over convictions at the state level. so a conviction in georgia is a di

for emancipation in the civil war and the new citizenship and the mission of the board and 63 in syracuse and 64 and then virtually every day of the johnson administration he would again and again say something like this. slavery is not abolished until the black man has the ballot. so garrison announced that the society could disband. the job was over. douglas said there was a boat and they decided they would pursue not just the antislavery but in a larger sense, citizenship. this is basically what douglas is arguing for the rest of his life. johnson became the 17th u.s. president a little more than a month after lincoln's second inauguration. the douglas at this point in the spring and summer of 65 had nothing negativead to say. initially they seemed to like johnson and here is an image of charles sumner, senator of massachusetts and thaddeus stevens, congressman from pennsylvania. lincoln's republican party and now johnson's republican party was dominated by the radicals who wanted the confederate states to be reconstructed. in addition in 1865 they wanted the former leaders of the conf

more now on all of this, we can bring in a senior contributor at a news website and director at syracuse'seard about the latest updates about the investigation into the 2020 election investigation into the 2020 election in the us states of georgia, what is ewels sense of how this case is unfolding and whether and when donald trump could be charged? weill. donald trump could be charged? well, this has the potential, _ donald trump could be charged? -ii this has the potential, even though it sounds kind of humdrum, to be really impactfulfor a few it sounds kind of humdrum, to be really impactful for a few reasons. just based on the timing of the formerly tenant governor's sue pina i should say to testify, this looks like it could come as soon as next week. it's important for a number of reasons. one is because it has been said that if former resident trump were to win another term and be convicted at the federal level, he would have the ability to pardon himself. but in the us, that is not true in terms of power over convictions at the state level. so a convictions at the state level. so a c

he's a freshman at syracuse university in new york in 1936. and sam stoller is a runner at the university of michigan. they go over on the olympic team these two jewish athletes to participate in the four by 100 meter relay one of the last track and field events and just before the race happens. they're told by the the american coach dean cromwell that they're going to be replaced on the relay team by jesse owens and and another african-american sprinter ralph metcalf to arguably the two fastest men on the team faster than glickman installer to be sure. marty glickman i had the chance to to meet and talk with marty glickman a few times before he he passed away. he attributed this to anti-semitism and to not wanting the american olympic committee not wanting to show up hitler anymore than they already had by having jewish athletes win win medals at the games and with glickman installer's times. they probably would have run one running with running with that team with with owens and metcalf. it's a dominant race and the americans when the gold m

. >> joe biden rank 76 in the class of 85 at the university of syracuse law school. >> joe eventually had to drop out, not for lying about his grades, but for plagiarizing someone else. >> why is it that my wife who is sitting out in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college. >> the first woman in her family in 1000 generations to be able to get to university. >> they didn't have a platform upon which to stand. >> there is no platform upon which they could stand. >> biden never learned his lesson. he said he use to drive 18 wheelers. he never did. he said he was arrested while marching for civil rights. that never happened. he said he was against the afghanistan wore from the beginning. but he voted for it in 2001. and that is not all. >> if you are vaccinated, you are not going to be hospitalized. you are not going to be in the icu unit and you are not going to die. >> we know that is not true. but biden's biggest lie of all is this. >> i did not know he was on the board of that company. i've never discussed my business or their business, my sons or daughters. i n

so to start the season in syracuse and come up here and hear that, it is really awesome. >> less thanfield, wozniacki pulls off the biggest win of her comeback. the mother of two upset the 11th seed to advance to the third round. once the match was over, the former world number one now ranked number 623 wiped away tears of joy calling it a dream come true. and she was face jennifer brady in her next match set for tomorrow. >>> the men's side, we had a big upset. casper r uchltruud is out of tot after being upset by the first chinese man to beat a player in the top five of the atp rankings. >>> and finally, we do now have proof that lionel messi is human after all. for the first time in ten games of messi mania, greatest soccer player of all-time did not score for inter miami. he attempted seven shots against nashville last night, but six were blocked. the game ended in a scoreless draw. messi and inter miami next scheduled to play on sunday. but omar, we've just gotten so used to, oh, messi will score, he will win this game at some pints. and finally it didn't happen. >> which means t

alex joins us, incoming freshmen and another from syracuse university.lle, focus on legacy admissions for a moment. talk to me about the impacts that you feel the elimination that legacy admissions policies will have for you and for your classmates across the country. >> well, yes. so, education department, they recently announced civil lawsuit, or civil rights lawsuit against harvard for legacy admissions. they are right about legacy admissions but are wrong in terms of the reason why legacy admissions should not be in place. legacy admissions perpetuate an sort of aristocratic class of americans and everything we stand against in this country. >> alex, it is true that even before this supreme court decision came down there was increasing scrutiny on legacy practices in particular. obviously there is now more. talk to me about how you feel about this. >> right, gillian. for the record i'm a legacy at brown. my dad went to brown, graduated in 1996, so i'm a legacy student at brown. but i believe legacy admissions and affirmative action are wrong on a fun

investigator reporter and tax expert david cay johnston, he's also distinguished visiting spectator at syracuse'saw, and wrote three books on trump himself, and former missouri senator claire mccaskill. we would not let her leave, so she is sticking around. senator, you're also a former prosecutor. here is what i need you to help me understand, these trump allies, i'm guessing, these individuals are people that the prosecution would like to flip on trump. is it not a massive conflict of interest that he's basically, like, yo, yo, yo, buddies, i'm gonna pay your legal bills. we're talking about potentially just employees at his company who might not have a whole lot of free funds for giant legal bills. >> well, first of all, it's perfectly legal for a corporation to pay the legal bills for their employees. it's legal. it doesn't mean that it's not fraught with potential ethical problems, and it doesn't stink. we all remember cassidy hutchison. when she was represented by people who want it a certain outcome in the case, she actually shaded the truth in a deposition. and remember, she got her own l

[laughter] >> greg: unnecessary, but why not, it's monday. back in 1988 joe's first presidential bid crateered when he claimed his ancestors worked in coal mine and came up and played football. turns out they were ancestors of a different family, one if britain and football called soccer, a foot they leave to children and lady people. i didn't make the rules. no bidens ever worked in the coal mines although once joe did stay in a basement for three months, so maybe that counts.

famous speeches that he gave the mission of the war in 1863 statements had a black convention and syracuse in 1864, and then in remarks he made virtually every day of the johnson administration he would again and again say something like this. slavery is not abolished until the black man has the ballot. so the emancipation proclamation and then the 13th amendment weren't enough this particular quote has taken from a speech at the may 1865 american anti-slavery society meeting which was led by william lloyd garrison who announced to the crowd that the society could disband because the 13th amendment ended slavery their job was over douglas disagreed. he said what i just quoted here, it was a vote and they decided not to despair that they were pursue not just the end of slavery which had happened but the vote in a larger sense citizenship. and and this is basically what? douglas's argument for for the rest of his life even when it becomes legal and he is noticing that it is still difficult for black people to go. so on johnson became the 17th us president a little more than a month after lin

the year he died basically calling for elance emancipation, and the position on the war 1863, and syracuse in 1864. and then virtually every day of the johnson administration. he would again and again say something like this, slavery is not abolished until the black man has the ballot. so the emancipation proclamation and then the 13th amendment weren't enough. this particular quote taken from the speech may 1865 american anti-slavery society meeting which was led by william garrison who announced to the crowd that the society could stand because the 13th amendment ended slavery, their job was over. douglass disagreed he said what i just quoted here. there was a vote and they decided not to disband, that they were to pursue not just the end of slavery, which had happened, but the vote and in a larger sense, citizenship. and this is basically what douglass was arguing for for the rest of his life. even when it becomes legal and he notes that it's still difficult for black people to vote. johnson became the 17th u.s. president a little more than a month after lincoln's second inauguration. d

we're not talking just boston or philadelphia or new york, they were from sacramento and albany and syracuse, so, a couple dozen of them and they were somewhere actually credentialed to the press gallery and capitol hill. this was stunning to me, i never heard any of this. it's historical washington history that we've never heard anything about. she got a job for working as a society columnist for a newspaper in st. louis. she wrote for them for about 10 years and she did something different because the society season raged from around december 1st when congress started meeting until lent. that's when the whole social season occurred, but come summer, everybody left town. the people with money went off to their homes and the country homes and their resorts, so what eliza did was she started travelling. and she crisscrossed the country several times. she would report on destinations that most americans would never see in their lifetimes. so by doing this, combining society reporting and travel writing, she ended up making more money than some men in washington. so she was, you know, it's an i

host: a follow-up to karen in syracuse, she texted, didn't they use hydroxychloroquine the related to blunt covid? guest: i would say the answer is no. hydroxychloroquine has been used widespread -- widespread use is been involved with antimalarial prophylaxis. i took corwin in the 19th -- i take it in the 1980's when i would go to africa. it was antimalarial. but it is never been shown to be of any positive value in dealing with the covid-19 virus. there are problems, side effects. the degree to which there is overlap between use of chloroquine or hydrocarbon for antimalarial purposes in the democratic republic of congo and the statistics, they are relatively low incidence of covid cases and mortalities. i have not seen anything scientific. i would be interested if there was something, but i am skeptical. host: from gary in arizona, text message, starting in in re 2020, i began daily checks at the cdc, johns hopkins, and the british and ancient online. how well do you think these sites perform? certainly there are websites evolved? guest: their websites evolved. the university of was

joseph is next, syracuse, new york. joseph, are you there?ogans ville, georgia, active-duty lined, mike, go ahead. caller: veteran, drafted vietnam, 1972. our armed forces are very much divided as you accurately said, sir. most of the officer corps when i was in were independents, and most of them still are because we were taught early in basic training that we all wear green and we all bleed red. my immigrant family came to this country in the early 1900s, and it was after the armenians were slaughtered by the turks and were going back after grace. we all know that greece and turkey have been at war for thousands of years. that has never been resolved. i commend you on your insight. i would only make one suggestion. my grandfather served in world war i for the u.s. army. he said that is the price you pay for the privilege to live in this country. i would change the name of your book. instead of thanks for your service, how about "welcome home"? guest: that is a great suggestion. you raise a number of points. the military is a traditional hal
