it would be appropriate for the university of chicago, which is the publisher of the journal of politicalnomy, to review his performance and suitability to continue as editor. because he opposed getting rid of the police. to this day, notably, janet yellen has never retracted that statement or apologized for joining the mob to hurt an innocent man for telling the truth. that's fine with her. it's fine with her now. the other activists who targeted him, have they admitted they were wrong? >> no. "anyone still wants to defund the police, stay away from hyde park." no one has apologized or learned anything. the politicians ruining the state of illinois and the city of chicago demand above all that you worship them like gods. as people die around them. as that happens all of this killing is happening very close to where our former president barack obama is billing a massive large shrine to himself, known as a presidential library. total cost to this project, at least $830 million. nearly a billion dollars to celebrate barack obama. just in case you're wondering what the definition of narcissi

he's the third university of chicago student to be murdered this year. uly, a 20-year-old called in july, a 20-year-old called maximum lewis was hit in the back of a net by a stray bullet as he was sitting in a subway train. in januaryit a 30-year-old graduate student was killed in a shooting spree including 15-year-old girl.y the university of chicago is so dangerous that the school is offering freeng lyft rides seven days a week so they don't haveni to mix with the local population. that may keep them from getting killed, but it's hardly a solution to the problem. what is the solution to the problem? 800 people murdered in a year? no one in authority in chicago appears to be thinking much about that. lori lightfoot is on the record thinking she believes the core problem is white80 racism, speaking of cops. for a while some of the more affluent residents of chicago were willing to believe that was true. last year in september, people surrounded the home of the school's provost. they occupied the street in front of her house and they shut down traffic for

chicago residents want police. i think there is a loud group of left wing students at the university of chicago and in chicago in generalby the way, the police force at the university of chicago that they want to abolish is actually majority black and hispanic. so the racism cries really fall on deaf ears. ainsley: democratic policies, how is that going to effect the midterm elections? >> you know, i think that people are -- who live in cities like chicago and in other places that are facing these crime waves are seeing that democrat cries to defund the police, catch and release policies are not poring. they are finding that their homes are unsafe. for me, i'm finding that getting to class is unsafe. and that doesn't sit well with people. and i don't think that it's a good -- it's a winning strategy for the democrats. ainsley: you mentioned your friends. we know your parents. how are they affected by this? i'm sure they are very worried about you. we continuously interview you every time someone, unfortunately dies on your campus. >> yeah. i mean, my parents, like every other parent at the university of chicago, is wond

a recent survey from the university of chicago showed every economist agreed that requiring staff vaccinations are regular testing among large employers would promote the economic recovery that is faster and stronger than it is now. goldman sachs said these requirements could lead to up to 5 million more americans reentering the workforce. that is because they feel safe to do so. it is because there are fewer disruptions for things like childcare. again, beating covid-19 is one of the most important ways to strengthen our economy, not just save lives, but strengthen our economy, and we are making progress. as of this week, 70% of american adults are fully vaccinated. more than 193 million americans fully vaccinated. with less than 1% when we took office one month ago. one more piece of good news, last night, we received promising news about another potent and potential covid -- if you're infected. we may soon have pills and may treat the fires of those who become infected. we have already secured millions of doses, and the therapy would be another tool in our toolbox to protect people from the

carl condit, john, walter at the university of chicago, they got me going, robert streeter who wrote a book, robert herrick who wrote a bunch of novels about chicago. >> one of the things, a person who is researching at all sorts of levels, academic research, scholarly research, fiction writing research, how do you determine, is there a point you say to yourself this book is junk, because chicago more so than most places will get to this. there are myths that arise that are so durable and one after another through the decades, takes a bright, smart guy, and are we stunned that historians in chicago. >> i might add to a culture role historian, the myths are as much fodder as the truth how certain versions of things, the o'leary thing. and and and and the difficulty is chasing down the sources, where do they get that. most of these books we are talking about have no footnotes or anything like that. most of my books are more scholarly. 50 pages of small print is not numbers on the page. this is written to be a good read. >> that is what i to say about this book. i have read a great deal

well, thank thank us kathleen ballou, professor of us history at the university of chicago and west bellamy, chair of the political science department of virginia state university. thank you so much to both of you for being with us today. thank you. so what's the bottom line for many americans, the rawness and the reality of racial discrimination are in their face. they feel it every single day. for others is the exact opposite. they can spend their lives enjoying the privilege and access that their skin color give them. and some of them have close to 0 awareness of the victims of this equation and still others, they're consciously purposely actively working to promote white supremacy. they want racism to be great again, but being unaware is not an acceptable excuse anymore. silence helps this underground network of white nationalism grow deeper and deeper. this problem is real folks. the former city council member of charlottesville is right. this will be a marathon, even though it should be a sprint injustice and racism really shouldn't have a place at americas table. and that's the botto

>> i went to the university of chicago and began, i did my graduate work in contemporary philosophy.ut then, it was only after i got sprung from there, had my degree in hand that i realized that in my teaching, i loved teaching about these world's great religions and in comparison, modern philosophy seemed pretty tame and almost like a cage because it had been infected by the scientific outlook and when i say infected, i don't mean to say anything disrespectful towards science. i had prostate cancer five years ago and without radiation, we wouldn't be here talking, so i'm not going to badmouth science as such. but, science congeal, to put it simply, only the facts. it cannot deal with values. and human life is a mix of facts and values and so, what i believe, and what has been the exhilaration of my life is trying to help my students see that we need binocular vision to look at life in the world with the factual information that science gives us, but not do it through one i only. but then bring in the world of values and there, the world's great religious traditions are what i have c

in a recent university of chicago survey, every economist agreed requiring vaccinations or regular testing among large employers would promote the economic recovery that is faster and stronger than it is now. analysts at goldman sachs project this could lead to up to five more americans entering the workforce. it is because there are fewer disruptions to things like childcare. beating covid-19 remains one of the most important ways to strengthen our economy, not just save lives but strengthen our economy. we are making progress. as of this week, 70% of american adults are fully vaccinated. more than 193 million americans vaccinated. it was less than 10% will be took office nine months ago. last night we received promising news about it another -- about another potent treatment, a pill developed by pfizer may dramatically reduce the risk of being hospitalized or dying when taken shortly after being infected if you are infected. if authorized by the fda we may soon have bills that may treat the virus of those who become infected. we have already secured millions of doses, and the therapy wil

there were some other crucial people like karl i spoke to at northwestern, john at the university of chicago then. and they sort of got me going, and in various ways, and robertstreeter who was which chicago who wrote a book and wrote novels about chicago. >> one of the things as a person who was researching and all sorts of different levels, the academic research, the scholarly research, and the fiction writing research. how do you determine, does there come a point where you say to yourself wait a minute this book is junk. because chicago more so than most places that i know more of big cities -- and we'll get to this. there are myths that arise that are so durable and repeated. one after another through the decades where they become true and it takes -- it takes a bright, smart guy to see the crap -- the crap from -- to see the crap from the valuable. were you kind of -- were you stunned a bit at how the do it yourself historians sometimes treated chicago? >> well first of all sometimes i'm grateful for them and i might add -- to a cultural historian intellectual historian like me the myt

the claim that millions of jobs will be created by the bill here is a reality check from the university of chicagothe economist casey mulligan who unlike every democrat in congress has actually read and analyzed this monstrosity of a bill line by line and it turns out the bills back better plan will make life worse for working americans by killing nearly 7 million american jobs. a few moderates left in the house and senate should save themselves and cease all negotiations on these spending packages immediately. we don't need any more stimulus and we certainly don't need higher energy costs that this bill would certainly create. all we need is for the federal government to step out of the way, drop the covid mandates, take the hands off of oil and gas and enforce the border. on tuesday americans center shot across the bow to the democrats leaky boat. if they try to move full steam ahead nevertheless, they are going to start taking on water. it is up to the rest of us to put pressure on these wavering moderate politicians. if they go along with this madness their careers are over and that is the ang

discussion, a legal analyst for us and former civil prosecutor and history professor at the university of chicagoto both of you. professor, i want to start with you, given your specific work, and i mentioned some of your fellow scholars of this kind of stuff, which is tough and often tragic history, but history we might learn from. what does it mean that this scholarship and some of this deeper understanding of the links of anti-semitism and racism was used to effect in this trial? >> so understanding the anti-semitic roots of the great replacement theory and its connections to genocide and the holocaust is incredibly important, but it is equally important to know that this is an american movement, this is american hate. and in fact, the american white power movement is exporting to a lot of these other places now. so i think that although we certainly can look to european roots for some of the idealogical currents, it's very important to know that this is a movement that has been organizing incredibly effectively in the united states at least since the late 1970s. we are decades, if not generati

mearsheimer writes extensively on strategic issues and is a political science professor at the university of chicago. welcome both of you back to the "newshour". john mearsheimer, let me start with you. do you believe the meeting served u.s. interests? >> no, i don't think so, nick. i think biden's basic goal here was to dampen down the intense security competition that exists now between china and the united states and actually permeates every dimension of the relationship -- ideological, political, economic, military -- and the great fear here, of course, is that this will eventually lead to a major confrontation. now, did he succeed in doing that? no. and my argument is it's impossible to achieve that goal. the fact is that the united states and china are destined to engage in a serious security competition, in effect another cold war, for the foreseeable future and the reason for that is very simple -- china is bent on dominating asia, it's bent on controlling the south china sea, taking back taiwan, and dominating the east china sea. the united states has no intention of allowing china to achie

in a recent university of chicago survey, every economist agreed that requiring staff vaccinations andular testing among large employers would promote the economic recovery that is faster and stronger than it is now. analysts at goldman sachs project these kind of requirements could lead to 5 million more americans reentering the workforce. that is because they feel safer to do so. it is because there are fewer disruptions in things like childcare. again, reading covid-19 remains one of the most important ways to strengthen our economy. not just save lives, but to strengthen our economy. we are making progress. as of this week, 70% of american adults are fully vaccinated. more than 193 million americans are fully vaccinated. it was less than one present when we took office 10 months ago. and one more piece of good news. last night, we received promising news about another potential covid treatment. a pill developed by pfizer that may dramatically reduce the risk of being hospitalized or dying when taken shortly after infection. if authorized by the fda we may soon have pills that may t
