there's now university of virginia has joined many other universities including my own the university of maryland. in exploring more some of the connections to slavery in the origins from the role that slaves played in actually building the buildings. i remember seeing at the university of mississippi the hand prints on one of the bricks. it's one of the slaves enslaved people who left that print. i'm from building the buildings to the fact that they were serving as you know, there was servants to some of the students unto the professors and they were enslaved sometimes hired out to the you know, so there's there's been this big exploration going on and these books have pushed back into almost um almost that the reason for this was to perpetuate slavery. could you talk about why you what your opinion is about that? i mean, i read you were saying that that is misguided that is that is misleading in terms of what the university of virginia was all about. can you explain more? yes, um, i would say from the outset and most of these books came out so during the bicentennial university in 2019 by commi

and what it means for the region, i'm joined by shibley telhami, professor at the university of marylandd senior fellow at the brookings institution. let's start in the kingdom. in all of his public comments about this trip, president biden has deemphasized the idea of the trip doing about oil or even being about meeting the crown prince, muhammad bin salman. how big of an issue is oil actually for this trip and that meeting with mbs? shibley: obviously the president wants to seeower oil rises and saudi arabia to produce more. but obviously, that would not have necessarily led him to go to saudi arabia. saudi arabia is important, he needs to deal with it, despite all the reservations people have. but going there is a completely different order, and the president himself said he was doing mostly throughout israel, meeting normalization with saudi arabia. and i believe him. they heavily wanted him to do so because it a strategic place for them. nick: you commissioned a poll asking americans if they support the trip. only 24% say they approve of this trip to israel and saudi arabia. why do

international trade commission, and business professor at the university of maryland. ave always heard and read two consecutive quarters of a decline in the gdp means a recession. what is your definition? >> well, i go out the national bureau of economic research and it basically says a reduction in economic activity that is wide spread and for a bit of time it could be a few months, depends on the depth and the breadth and so forth. usually that coincides with two quarters of negative gdp growth. but it does not have to breed that is the rub here. this is a very peculiar situation. what if he had a recession when employment continues to grow? clearly the economy is slowing. inflation is a problem. people's real incomes are declining people have less real dollars to spend. so by those measures we are in a recession. but we have increasing employment. that is why there is some debate here. i think it is kind of sterile. what matters is we have a problem. the economy is slowing and we still have inflation. what do we need to do to fix it? that is the issue. >> the fed wan

matt schlapp, jason nichols from the university of maryland. great to see you boat. i'll start with you and your top line thoughts. reaction to things you just watched. >> inflation is one of these destructive forces in people's lives but it is destructive of politicians. it doesn't matter what party you are in, democrats, republicans, whether you are gerald ford or jimmy carter when we had inflation similar to the levels we had today they lost their races because when a politician is seen responsible because of his policies. let's be clear. we have high gas prices, the biggest driver to high gas prices is the fact this administration has a hostility to fossil fuels and part of the green new deals, $5, gallon gas is intentional. when you end the programs on the supply side you'll have huge spikes in prices. add it to all the other spikes in prices food and everything else. voters punish the politicians they see responsible for this. the economic peril we face is self-inflicted by the biden administration and voters know it. >> harris: jason, before i come to you let'
