it was revealed that the university of pennsylvania and princeton university have been in possession of remains thought to belong to 2 children who were among the 11 people killed in the 985 police bombing of the philadelphia home of the radical black liberation and anti police brutality group move most of us to know about the, to ski experiments, but less know the world war 2 mustard gas experiments on black troops, as well as japanese and puerto ricans. there's literally too many examples to name . we don't have to stick to the past. the fact that fewer than 4 percent of africans have been fully vaccinated for cove, it says enough. the story of henrietta lacks is absolutely infuriating. unfortunately, it's not unique. starting with slavery, our country has a long, brutal history of exploiting black bodies. a history that is still continuing to this day from johns hopkins university. this is jennifer con, with the redacted side. and finally, before i sign off, i want to take a moment to say good bye to a truly amazing person, a fellow fighter for peace and justice and equality. and e

professor of law on faculty, director of the center for ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania law school. good to have you with us again at claire. what do you make of this sentence, professor? well, what makes it appear especially harsh, is that due to cove it and other reasons he hadn't a lengthy home confinement leading up to the eyes sentencing today. ah, and sown with nearly 2 years of serving house arrest. he's now been sentenced to 6 months, which is the maximum sentence for criminal contempt. it also may appear harsh because it's very rare for attorneys to be held in criminal contempt, as opposed to civil contempt. and that would have been a way that the court could have gone, but instead the judge felt that his behavior was wilful and agree just there worse . originally 6 contempt charges against him. and i think that, you know, the judge felt that he was really sort of a thumbing his nose at the court. in general, it's a professional ethics, violation for an attorney not to turn over his materials. when asked, there's a problem of candor to the tribunal. all sorts of

oh crap finkelstein is faculty director of the center for ethics and rule of law at the university of pennsylvania law school. she says that it's rare for lawyers to be held in criminal contempt. i think that, you know, the judge felt that he was really sort of a thumbing his nose at the court. in general, it's a professional ethics violation for an attorney not to turn over his materials. when asked of, there's a problem of candor to the tribune. all sorts of professional ethics violations for which he lost his law license. but going to the point of sentencing an attorney charging and then sentencing an attorney to criminal violation is rather rare. again, in this case, there was of the judge felt there was an element of wilfulness involved and that explains the results. and here we had a, you know, accompanied me major up corporate player hip with a $9500000000.00 judgments that had every incentive to try to bring him down. so when chevron a sued him claiming that he procured his victory against them by fraud, they set in motion on a, a sort of war path against him. and he was really going up ag

you came out of the university of pennsylvania the year of bill clinton and you are a card-carrying,de democrat, hugely charitable, an icon across the nation for charity. help the democratic party with some charity. how do you put the progressives and moderates together? what is the gray formula? jonathan g.: wow, that is a big assignment. tom: do it in 30 seconds. go. jonathan g.: i think there are shared objectives and things where you can say, how can we help people in lower and middle income areas, and do things that drive the economy an opportunity for them? immigration would be one where i think we can help the economy and a lot of people. ideally, we can bring people out of the shadows. housing would be another area where if we built more housing, that could drive down the cost of rental housing and buying homes for lots of people. i think green energy context, building housing would help. education, more investment, doing more in vocational schools, community schools, to help people. when i want to do is create more opportunity. the debate in the democratic party is about whe

highlighting joe biden employment as benjamin franklin presidential practice professor at university of pennsylvanias been called very -- job 317,000 dollars, from the university of pennsylvania and now wants to make the president of the university his ambassador to germany and chairman of the university the ambassador to canada? what what is this about a quid pro quo? >> usually those posts are rooefshd for donors given a little bit of money to some people some given none isolated incident or do one thing if you look say you got this job they paid you a chunk of cash to do it the person who got you job is suddenly an ambassador, to -- to germany, and other posts not thinking about it calls into question when you put in line with other things that that have gone on with president's son with others, i think important to remember the corporate party in membering is democratic party look at nations you are people go on line look at donations where money went wall street give a more than a wealthiest in america voted for democratic party another thing mastered art of saying one thing doing another prote

immunologists in the country, he's one of the leaders of the immunology program at the university of pennsylvanialphia, for him to make the statement that he did in front of millions of americans, it's completely absurd. it's a falsehood. the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it's a falsehood and it misleads people and misleads people to trust each other. look at what we are doing to each other, look at our tragic this is. we are in the middle of an infectious disease pandemic where immunity is a key to our nation's survival economically and healthwise and we are tearing each other apart based on mistrust. the biden administration has done a very poor job of controlling the messaging. the president of the united states is getting some really bad advice from his inner circle in terms of how to handle these mandates. i don't necessarily disagree with mandates, i think there is a role for public environments where people are engaged with the public to actually ensure that people are immune in the middle of the pandemic but i certainly don't think that people who are very well immune need t

queen anne's county maryland and a professor of practice in professional leadership at the university of pennsylvania's absolute horror at what you went through, all of the things you went through as superintendent, trying to bring, you know, bring to light racism, which is endemic to our country. maryland is where harriet tubman was enslaved. let's keep it real. this is a slave state with a long history of discrimination. talk a little bit about how it was received when you sent that email for those who have not red the story in "the new york times," what happened? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me. it was a typical letter. so superintendent sends letterses to the community to keep them updated all the time. i was the same way. i sent the letter, and i included a lot of information about things that were happening in the district, but then i also felt compelled to talk about what was happening in terms of the racism that our country was experiencing and how we ought to talk with our children about the images that they see on television. in the same letter, i asked the community to extend

zeke emanuel, provost of global initiatives at the university of pennsylvania. dr. emanuel, we are seeing this rubber hitting the road. your thoughts? >> yeah, well, i think first of all, for kids, it's very important to get them vaccinated, and i think we will enhance the uptake, because it will be through pediatrics offices where the pediatrician can reassure a family. parents should remember, you know, over the next few months and years, you're either going to get covid or a vaccination, and getting covid is a lot worse than getting a vaccine, even for children. the other thing i would say -- >> you put it so starkly. would a doctor say that responsibly to a patient? hey, it's one or the other? >> actually, ari, i shouldn't take credit for what i said, because it was actually a paraphrase of a doctor at the nih, who is an expert in cellular immunology, and these kind of viral diseases. so, yes, doctors will say that, because it's true. >> interesting. and then the other point you wanted to raise? >> i just want to raise, you know, we've seen this situation again.

i was actually living right there in philadelphia a few years back, was at the university of pennsylvania. it was at that time i was apprised of a pretty fantastic opportunity. i could not believe my luck, that is a collector who is based in new york, wasn't looking to put out an exhibit of her fantastic collection documents of the americana. she had acquired a huge and again remarkable collection not just related to american constitutionalism over the years, this was built on things acquired first by her late husband. this was a document we will certainly talk about, the printing of the u.s. constitution. very rare. but over time dorothy had built up this wonderful collection of documents not just for the federal constitution but state constitution. and so should all this cool stuff. she wanted to let as many people as possible see it. i was there in philadelphia working on constitutional things. since that's not a very far trip that would accentuate the rich stuff she had. it was obvious that was the case. we began working and planning it out. working with the new york historical societ

he's a professor of psychology at the university of pennsylvania. he's a best-selling author. ent viral and are influential for many. but he's here because of his latest book "think again: the power of knowing what you don't know." thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, ari. >> the book is fascinating in many ways. it has a section on vaccine hesitance and data and knowledge that predates this whole covid thing when it got more partisan. you talk about how even well-meaning, intelligent efforts to get other people to make this decision come up short. with that in mind, let's look at some very powerful people, elected officials, doing some things where you say in your book whatever they meant to do might not work very well. take a look. >> we've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. and your refusal has cost all of us. >> we are over it, we are done, we want to move on. and the only way we can do that is to ensure that everyone is vaccinated. >> i mean, this is crazy. get vaccinated! it's time for a very aggressive, assertive approach. >> does the knowledge an

and we're also joined by a clinical psychologist at the university of pennsylvania and co-hosts the mindto both of you and thanks for having a conversation that we intend to be real and without stigma. and when is a time for people to stop and reflect on how they're feeling and how to identify even before they get to the point of where they see a specialist or a doctor, but whether they're sad or anxious in a way that might be addressed? >> you know, everyone asks me this question, like when i i know i need help. but your question of when do we reflect, i think it's every day. every evening sitting down and doing that nonjudge mental observation. we're noticing people are having higher highs, lower lows. assessing how i'm feeling. how is my mood and what's impacted it positively or negatively. was today just a tough day and i don't really understand why. but really collecting that data on yourself is so important because that's how you're going to know where to make the changes and are they more internal or external or a combination of both. >> that makes a lot of sense. tony, msnbc view

she received her ba in economics from george washington university before attending university of pennsylvania she, previously, worked as a public defender and in private practice before former-president barack obama nominated her to the d.c. district court in 2014. >> she has an established record as a trial lawyer. she was approved by a 95-0 vote in the u.s. senate. she also appears to be sort of both tough but fair. >> reporter: she has presided over a number of controversial and high-profile cases. she handled the criminal proceedings against a russian national who pleaded guilty in 2018 to conspiracy to act as an eas agent of a foreign government after she tried to infiltrate conservative american political groups and one of her most recent high profile cases, she took the relatively rare step of jailing january 6th rioters. sentencing two cousins with extensive criminal records to 45 days for storming the capitol. and blasting them for their, quote, decision to take that protest and turn it into a violent occupation of the u.s. capitol. at a time when we were attempting the peaceful tran

he was an obama white house policy adviser and at the university of pennsylvania and katy an msnbc analyst. doctor, i'm doing my level best here which may not be good enough. we're all trying to go through this long-term problem with facts and empathy. i'm curious what you think. should we all have empathy for these people who were misinformed, who were, i believe, often tricked into poor decisions for themselves? what do you see here on the horizon of a story that is absolutely taking too long but requires our vigilance? >> yeah, it is tragic that someone has to learn the truth and have misinformation dispelled on their death bed. that is the worst. because you can't do anything, and revive them and they leave five orphans. it is also true that as we've learned, mandates work and get people who are sort of on the fence, hesitant to actually get vaccinated and that makes a big difference for the country and that makes a big difference to actually getting the vaccine rate up. but we have a long way to go, a really long way to go. if we're going to get to 85% of the population vaccinated at

if you see a rare side effect you need experts out there at the university of pennsylvania who is therare side effect. it is safer your kids, it's a for my kids. they are going too fast. gavin newsom is way ahead of himself. besides, he allows teachers to have an opt out or they contest their way out of getting the vaccine. for kids, who again, it's not even approved yet for 5-11, he' talking about no test out there. completely unfair to put a standard on young children who can't fight back versus what yo do with teachers. it can't be a different standard . >> thank you so much. a lot to run through and you di it very well. >> thank you. >> a new analysis that shows liddy leaders have been draggin their feet and spending federal covid relief money. look at this breakdown from the associated press. city spending only 8.5 percent of their funding. and states only 2.5. congress passed the nearly to trillion dollar american rescue plan earlier this year after hundreds of mayors and governor pleaded with the federal government for immediate action in then so all this money gets spent, that

there was a poll released just this morning from the university of pennsylvania showing a new high inshing the supreme court or restricting its mandate. these are things that very much loom over the court and when that's the picture going into this kind of a term, when there are so many hot button issues the court is going to take up, i think these justices recognize that the decisions that they're about to make are going to be very big ones, not just for the immediate future of the country but also for the future of the court, and this is something that justices will often guard very, very extensively when it comes to the independence of the judiciary. >> i mean, claire, i want to give you the last word and just to both kim and aaron's points, i mean, i hear kim on this sort of overload. i hear it all the time in my real life. but to aaron's point, this is everything, just about everything that divides us as a country. where do you come down on sort of political dynamite or just more in this onslaught of difficult headlines? >> well, first of all, if it was just one thing, like just

within the walls of what we built at amicus, partnered with the university of pennsylvania, the world'sh center in genetic diseases, i think it's a great opportunity within the team that we've already built and again we've got a big vision for what we're going to billed. i think karitas will rise to become the world's most reeminent genetic medicine company. we're excited for patients in the future of medicine. maria: congratulations, john. it sounds great. we love to see the investment in certainly mental health. we'll be watching for fda approvals and the development. john crowley, great to have you this morning. thanks so much. >> thank you, maria. maria: for quick break and then an all-star lineup. super bowl lvi's half time stars are announced. the list makes a buzz this morning and we've got it. stay with us. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates, whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. visit indeed.com/hire and get started today. maria: welc

current chief of police at a university in pennsylvania. joining us by phone. you are with me now. >> i am, harris. >> harris: jeff james, when you work at a university some of them are not much larger than his high school campus because high school campuses across many of our great states including texas are large. talk to me about securing the perimeter and going door to door. >> your emergency management plan has three phases. and it really starts with having the training and the practicing of your students and your staff. so when you are in that moment if, heaven forbid you do have a dynamic event like this, everyone reverts to the training that you've given them. now we are in the third phase where it's all the things like triaging for injuries, reunification, recovery. the very slow-paced process. where they have been in the situation, and that process of going classroom to classroom and making that slow and deliberate search, you can get to people faster, even older staff members who are having medical events because of the panic that are unrelated to the

the university of pittsburgh says these are false accusations and in a letter following a pennsylvaniaegislator hearing back in may, the vice chancellor writes in part, "fetal tissue research yields tea shoot which would have otherwise been destroyed to make medical advances that can improve and save lives. university of pittsburgh fully complies with federal and state regulations governing this research." critics are alleging this investigation into their practices are not adequate enough and that the results are going to take too long, up to 18 months. we will keep you updated. >> shannon: thank you for tracking that. we will check back. what figures to be a monumental supreme court term is now officially underway. justices began hearing arguments today on a docket loaded with controversy all cases. >> for the first time in 18 months, the supreme court gathered for in person arguments monday. in a mostly empty courtroom. justice thomas known for rayleigh speaking from the bench dove right in. some say newly confident in his role as a leading voice for the conservative wing. justice k

pennsylvania's offering incentives for students to get vaccinated. he said, if 65% of students upload the vaccine cards, slippery rock university will raffle off five premier parking spaces. if that figure reaches 70%, one free scholarship is up for grabs. it's 75%, the president is promising to get a tattoo on his arm with a slippery rock theme. >> i wish our society would be the spot where more people are getting vaccinated on their own. and that is not where we are and my hope is to get under the circumstance to where we need to be. once we're at 75%, i will breath easier. >> and the deadline to respond to those incentives is december 3rd. >>> and meantime, experts have been warning that we could see a twindemic of flow and shows that it stops the spread of the flu and other common respiratory viruses last year. reporter michael george has more. >> reporter: the family gets flu shots and take what precautions they can each winter. 3-year-old alexander was born premature. >> the doctors were very clear. he needed to be protected. if he caught rsv or the flu, it was a high likelihood he could end up hospitalized. >> reporter: the covid-19 pandemic brought

universal abolition of the dental death penalty. we will wage this fight as europeans again and again he said, right, matthew, mon, gina with us now an attorney former parole board member for pennsylvania, an author of the execution is toll on skype. from pittsburgh to diane. it's great to see you, matthew. i'll talk more specifically about the us in a moment because i know that is your particular area of expertise. but from the day sir, i gave there the death toll is being phased out in countries. but my goodness, it's slow, isn't it? why is that this? i why to countries want to hang on to that? why? i think it, in a lot of ways on the death valley is driven by politics. ah, you know, people want to seem as though they're tough on crime and it's a way of getting your, your, your bon, a cds for it being tough on crime by saying, you know, we support the death penalty. and so, so i think that's part of the reason why the death penalty hangs on. although the trend around the world is really seems to be that the death penalty is it is a fading eye. it's not a certainly, as popular as it has been in years gone by. seems to be, as i said, something that by hang on to in fact we're looking a

university they do not have the cultural background to navigate in the way you struggle to do. : : : it was a lot of minors north of england, wales and scotland that came over to work in the pennsylvania coal mines. of course, you know, really shifted my thinking. 1960s when my dad coal mine, he worked there several that close down, minds and pennsylvania and carbon county where recruiting for minors from the uk. my dad wanted to go. there were a number of minds they actually explored. he was looking after them at a time. we did not go. the irony is, of course come out that years or more later, the mind that he had to work would have closed as well. >> when i went to carbon county, i went to pennsylvania. you know, a sitting russian as well, that is where she was from entering the association of it. basically right next door. she recommended staying there for weekend. it is just like, you know, we have been talking the whole time about the parallels. this is it. this is basically pennsylvania, it was much more beautiful. it was very rugged and really something striking. it was the same thing. the whole county had just risen like mine. rotten immigrants from all over the world includin

university, which tracks these figures, saw either a decline or remain relatively steady over the weekend in terms of the number of new cases. five states to look out for, though. montana, colorado, minnesota, michigan, and pennsylvaniaeporting at least a 10% increase in covid cases in the past week, compared to the previous week. nationally, the u.s. seeing about 95,000 new infections a day. it's actually pretty good, considering that that number had not dipped below 100,000 for laebt at least a couple of months. dr. anthony fauci says that we are certainly going into the right direction. but the number of infections -- new infections daily -- that is still too high. and the number of vaccinated americans is still not high enough. so, what we heard from him over the weekend, he basically warned against declaring a premature victory. >> we have to just be careful that we don't prematurely declare victory. in many respects, we still have around 68 million people who are eligible to be vaccinated that have not yet gotten vaccinated. and even those who have been vaccinated -- i mean, you -- you want to look forward to holiday seasons and spending time with your family and doing those sorts of things. but don't just thro
