well, of a michigan alum and retired from university of pittsburgh. but i a question and it has to do with the soviet union not deciding to invade japan to the last minute and had they done the soviet union not deciding to declare war against japan, the last possible moment had done it earlier. would that have not necessity aided the dropping of the bomb if they had been able to be persuaded to go earlier against? well, you know, what they did is they went to manchuria. i'm not sure they i don't think they even they wanted invade the tokyo plane where it would be a mass slaughter because every single japanese used every single japanese citizen would be involved in that. so i would say. i don't think that's a reason. it's a what if, you know, it's a whatever, right. i think that they had to drop the bomb no matter what. you know, hirohito stalling it could you know, they dropped the bomb in hiroshima and they waited. they waited and waited. and all they got was critic crickets. so i, i think they had to do it. okay. thank you. this just a footnote. put

i'm a senior at the university of pittsburgh and serve as president of the student coalition. i'm also involved with hillel and jewish student life and i'm a jewish day school graduate. like many of us, i come from a large american jewish immigrant family with relatives who perished in the holocaust and others who were able to flee the nazis to south america and eventually the united states. as a descendant of holocaust survivors, finding anti-semitism is personal to me. it's also personal to me as a college student who has witnessed and experienced anti-semitism myself. on a friday evening in august, i was walking to shabbat dinner at hillel with a group of friends who were physically assaulted for being visibly jewish. it is personal for me because like many i lost friends on october 7 and i have a friend still being hostage and i am determined to honor them. that's why after i witnessed my college friends being attacked for being who they are, i decided to wear a kippah, because i wanted to show the world who i am, that i'm jewish, i'm unafraid, and i will not be silenced.

retired from the university of pittsburgh. i have a question has to do with the soviet union not deciding to invade japan until the last minute. the soviet union official who until last possible but had they done it earlier that not has necessitated the dropping of the bombua they had been able to persuaded to go earlier against japan? >> what they did is not to mention ore. i don't think even they wanted to invade the tokyo plane or it would be a mass, mass slaughter. every single japanese citizen would be involved in them. so, i would say i don't think that is a reason. it is a what if. it is a what if. i think they have to drop the bomb no matter what. they dropped the bomb they waited, and waited and all they got were crickets. think they had to do it. thank you. a couple of things you said about walter, the executive secretary of the icp, who nobody knows anything about anymore. a great story. a great, great. i read autobiography not too long ago, and he he attended the they dropped the bomb at hiroshima and they waited a

it's from rice university, university of pittsburgh he looked at two counties, black counties with let me just say suffered $10 billion in hazard damage, right? same amount black survivors, wealth decreased by an average of $27,000. white survivors average wealth increased by $126,000 clothes. and sometimes we conflate how and why. like how did you fall? i tripped over the curb why did you fall? because i wasn't paying attention. they are distinct questions and answers. so let's start with the how. how is this happening that we're seeing? in this disparity? >> that's a great question and the disparity is astonishing, right what's happening is that our disaster management system actually mirrors our societal system. where are there is discrimination and bias built into systems. so we think about red redlining, we think about the lack of insurance in underserved communities. we think about even fema having a requirement that you have insurance to be resilient those things are not going to really facilitate a smooth recovery and a full recovery for everyone recovery for everyone is a myth

research in this area writing about this a lot and actually the according to research, the university of pittsburghschool of public health data from the cdc the overdose rate has been on an exponential growth trend since at least the 1970s, way before oxycontin was approved. it may be starting to level off now. we just heard recent good news about that and numerous studies have shown looking at the government's own data, there's no correlation between the number of prescriptions and nonmedical use or addiction. the government's own data show, the addiction rate, the prescription pills has been essentially unchanged since they began taking the survey in 2002, at less than 1%. but the narrowed it has been that doctors overprescribing what created almost like a population of drug addicts. and so now efforts have been made to get doctors to cut back. and as of now, we low 1992 levels are prescribing pain pills. so now you have a situation where a lot of people need pain are not getting treatment or they need a refill. they're being sent to an addiction or pain management specialist rather than being gi

former president obama was campaigning for you in pittsburgh before some students at the university of pittsburghd somefeathers in the news. he said, i think you're not feeling the idea of a woman for president. do you think what president obama said was the right thing to say? >> let me tell you, i'm very proud to have the support of president obama, and that he is out traveling to talk with voters about what is at stake in this election. i'm very proud to have his support. what is also important for one to understand, as i said, i intend to earn the vote of everyone, including black men. two, pay attention to everything that president obama talked about, because he also talked about, at length, the danger of donald trump. >> joining us now, white house correspondent for "politico" and co-author of "the playbook," our friend eugene daniels. good morning. it's very clear, the vice president really didn't want to touch that subject just now in the clip we played. but her campaign, as you well know, they're aware they're lagging with support with black men. president obama put his finger on it. how

yes this hit close to home to me, sara, too, because i am a alumni of the university of pittsburgh, so my eyes the irs, we're open when he did say those things. and i'm really challenging black men to think about that and think about a woman being president and it did not land as well as he thought it was going to in a stirred the pot and ruffled a few feathers when it came to just, you know, people on the internet saying that why are you lecturing two black men, black mandate, have a seat at the table. you don't have to spoon-feed them into leaning one way or another so that was just a very interesting perspective and a former ohio senator, she went on on twitter as well to express those sentiments as well. so the bottom line is, i go to these barbershops. i have family members. you know, i was raised by black men and we do have a seat at the table. we do have a strong seat at the table and really at the end of the day, there is some truth in that we do not have to be lectured you do not have to be spoon-fed into believing one thing or the other. we do have a capability of doing our r

she's professor at the university of tennessee and she's an expert on the jimmy casa and joins us tonight from pittsburgh. welcome to dw professor. i think we got his presidency was viewed as a failure at the time in part because he failed to win re election to the assessment is fair. well, certainly growing up in winder georgia. that was one fact that i was aware of related to his one term administration that he was perceived as a sale president largely of course, because of the recession. stagflation and also the iranian hostage crisis. i certainly don't believe that that assessment is fair. i think that in the aftermath of vietnam and watergate that carter was a foundational glue that held our nation together and set it on its course to prosperity. you've noted that he was shunned by the washington a leads. other presidents have come in as outside as why did the jimmy call to have such a hard time as well, i think of that and in large part um he brought in what was referred to you as the georgia mafia um, some advisors from, with in the state and he didn't do some of the traditional outreach that you

pittsburgh, right in the middle of it. the report of the committee is received with acclaim and universal condemnation, is visited on the heads of the united states steel company. any attempt to cover up acts which in effect are sabotage against our own boys by placing the responsibility on the so-called hirelings or underlings and permitted those that frame the policy of the concern to escape would be considered in the nature of a whitewash. i have to sons a brother and a son in law in the combat forces of the nation. two are at present overseas, and the others will probably go in due time. it's one hell of a situation when you and myself and millions of others who are boys risking their lives are compelled to submit to a thing of this sort that additional profits might fall into the coffers of the steel company. stay in there in pitch, senator. you and your committee have done a swell job. very respectfully. yours, john dugan, junior. so, steve, what were some of the contemporaneous of the truman committee? i'm sure right after pearl harbor, there were serious concerns of whether the committee should continue at all when th

university of alabama she's never going to do something like that because the reception would not be good but trump is being received in these places, he gets the usa usa chant and applaud in pittsburgh by 20 points in the county, the fact that he went in there and so warmly received that may tell you how pennsylvania is going to go. stuart: i'm sorry i could not hear what you were saying. i asked this 160 minutes has responded to allegations that they edited their interview with kamala harris, they said that is false why did it take them two weeks to respond. >> two weeks, what they responded with was meaningless and dishonest. on the dishonestly sick kamala harris gave the same two answers to the same question as it pertains to the israeli war and gaza and benjamin netanyahu. 60 minutes promoted one answer ahead of the show and chose the other answer because they said there's no difference between the other two answers, go back and watch the two answers they couldn't be any more different, one answer was rambling borderline incoherent the word solid in the show was clearly trying to protect her by editing the out of the final product, "the bottom line" the only resolution for this

of this misinformation john almost universally pushing back against that misinformation, alayna treene in detroit, eva mckend in washington. i might have had that reversed. i apologize for that eva barack obama headed to pittsburgh today. what's the plan there? >> so john, what we're seeing from democrats is a divide and conquer strategy with harris campaigning out west with a town hall in vegas, a rally in arizona. this evening and democrats looking to former president barak obama really to boost the energy and engagement among the base in pittsburgh and what this tells us is the campaign pain is at this stage where they are deploying their most powerful surrogates obama typically sent into great effect in the closing weeks of democratic campaigns. what we're seeing from harris is her trying to recreate the multiracial coalition that helped president biden win in 2020. she's not quite there yet. it's important to keep in mind, john and a lot of places voting has already started. so obama and other surrogates, they can essentially encourage voters if they can to vote right away. in fact, last week when we were on the trail with the vice president in flint, michigan, she told voters not to wait if they received t
