i would also like to thank professor rosen and halsey for hosting me. if you look at your program, you might find that what i'm going to talk about is a bit different from what's in the program. it depends on which program you have. so there is this nice pretty one here, audacious ingenuity, that describes my abstract and what i'm going to discuss. and i wanted to talk about innovation, because that's the theme this week. so i've been able to innovate in the sciences and in education. and so whenever i'm talking to students, right, i want to make it about you, not so much about me, right? and the lessons i've learned and how can apply them in your own lives. now, when we think about innovation, there is no shortness of innovation in our country. we're a country that maintains a lead in science as well as in economics because of the richness in innovation that occurs here in america. but there's a particular type of innovation i want to talk about that happens in science. that's when you have these big paradigm shifts, right, when things just change. and

professor rosen joins us after a quick break. i accept i'm not the hiker i was. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter what path i take, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask

professor rosen joins us afr a quick break. many people clean their dentures with toothpaste or plain water. and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. only new alka-seltzer plus justfree of artificial dyes and preservatives liquid gels delivers the powerful cold symptom relief you need without the unnecessary additives you don't. store manager: clean up, aisle 4. alka-seltzer plus liquid gels. >>> i think we ought to get on with our lives. i think the computers have complicated lives very greatly, the whole, you know, age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what's going on. we have speed. we have a lot of other things, but

so er is the paper but einstein and rosen that predicted the existence of a wormhole. do you know what that is? a wormhole, when you have a black hole and under certain conditions the black hole can be a portal to another location in time and space. so you can instantly travel from a location, one location in space to another location that's hundreds or thousands or millions of light-years away. sounds like science fiction and its incorporated in science fiction, but the laws of physics say this can actually happen. the problem though is that these wormholes are very unstable. so the likelihood of it was really small we thought. if you're a scientist, one way we innovate is through hate. did you catch that? through hate. here's what i mean. here's an example from history where in the 19th century there was a question of, how does the process of diffraction work? we know how reflection worked. we know how reflection worked but what is diffraction what's the most prominent example is when you see water on, oil on the surface of water you see this rainbow pattern. what is

chief washington correspondent james rosen looks at how one big deal could loom very large for determining secretary kerry's legacy. >> reporte >> we were crystal clear we would not accept anything less than a good deal. >> reporter: how good of a deal you think the iran nuclear accord is likely determines how good of a secretary of state you think john kerry was. five our world powers signed on including russia and china. kerry was the driving force. his legacy largely rests on the deal's success going forward. >> we now have a deal in place. and it's being implemented. by all sides. that will preclude iran from ever, ever achieving nuclear weapons capability. >> reporter: in exchange, iran received tens of billions in sanctions relief. sometimes in massive infusions of cash. critics charge the deal should have forced iran to dismantle its nuclear program, not preserve it, that some military sites have been closed off to u.n. inspectors and that the deal is actually strengthened the leading state sponsor of terrorism. >> kerry did not have a sound strategic judgment. of course, iranian nu

obama and what he did to james rosen, the times and fox, outrageous. criminalized it. >> donald trump is going to take tight a new level. barack obama tried to delegitimize fox. that didn't work put. donald trump is going to try to delegitimize the whole media. the media has helped him. there's a reason why the country doesn't trust them. >> this is the problem with how we handled ourselves throughout the last year. so many of us were so extreme and overt from in our partisanship that people don't necessarily feel that donald trump needs to be dif rent to the media. it's automobiles important to have that media investigate and hold someone accountable. >> it's like the boy who cried wolf. >> nothing but the boy who cried wolf. >> they were apoplectic over everything he did. no one is listening to him anymore. >> taeb breakup of the media where donald trump with go by the gate keepers and communicate with people directly true twitter decreases the public outcry for transparency and press conferences. and i think it's hard are for the public to see how i

autographed photo from his favorite player keegan rosenberg regional rail both the union and keegan rosen berry have shared this video. >>> this story has gone viral on facebook. during a carol service they were handed booklets that were supposed to have the prayer known as the hail mary a common christian prayer. but instead, they were given profanity laced lyrics to a wrap song called hail mary by tupac shakur. those lyrics are laced with profanity and violence. some noticed the discrepancy right away. many wonders if it was a sick joke but it was mistake. the printer was a young boy who simply downloaded the wrong thing. the priest has since apologized for the mixup. >> time for another check of the roads out there tonight. >> matt pelman is in the "action news" traffic center with detail. hey matt. >> speaking of rap, most people have unwrapped most of their gifts. now it's time to wrap up the christmas weekend and we're not doing so with a lot of joy on the new jersey turnpike this afternoon. southbound side, yes, it's a 4-mile park lot headed toward the delaware memorial bridge. jus

who said they took punitive actions against journalists including by the way this network's james rosen and "new york times" reporters as well. so this is pretty universally mocked, not just by republicans and conserve activitieses but by mainstream, liberal-leaning outlets. patti ann: josh earnest made the same comment back in august, you may recall. he was responding to a column speaking of hillary clinton, that said that if hillary were elected, quote, her administration would continue the administration being more secretive than the one before it. the obama white house has achieved just that with its abysmal record on fulfilling freedom of information act requests and record of prosecuting whistle blowers who have shared national security information with the press. brad, journalists have been complaining about a lack of transparency for this white house for a while. >> there are a couple of things i will say to this. number one, this has been the most transparent administration in the history of our republic. they have released thousands and thousands of data sets that the u.s. gov

along comes 2014, and along comes james rosen. through conversation of another idea that james raised i would fight to do a collection of his eulogies and remembrances and obituaries and are ip. what do you think? it was like asking me if i wanted a bag of peanut m&m's. of course. some did christopher buckley to overseas all things literary for the buckley estate. so we were off to the races. the good people let crown for of also would read and now we have this book. i have not had this conversation with campbell but i cannot help but think he knows what we all those that although he left this eight years ago he still looms very large. the song will ask where have you gone to showed a maggio? likewise the conservative america asks the same about bill. there is a longing and appetite for his wisdom remains very strong. coming up next is a conversation about bill buckley a man of prose, who wrote history person by person through his particular talent. it is not a conversation about politics, elections politics, elections, or the wid

companies like facebook and twitter are not bound by the first amendment, i share the belief of jeffrey rosen that they would do well to resist pressure to moderate speech or content in the name of promoting civility. as salman rushdie, someone who knows what it means to offend has said, "what is freedom of expression? without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist." this conference is extremely timely, as during this election season much has been noted about the need for greater stability in our politics and in the media. i concur. i too worry that where as a different race or religion used to be the greatest concern of parents as to who their children would marry, now it is political affiliation. in the 1960's, everybody watched the same tv shows and read the same magazines. now it is easy to be balkanized and exposed to those points of view that we agree with and agree with us. yet even as we work towards a more civil union, let's be sure that we remain equally committed to that transgressive idea and ideal that underpinned lenny's work, that nothing is sacrosanct, everything is open to

i recall holder saying one of his greatest regrets as indicting james rosen in an unindicted co-conspirator in this case. >> after he said that he kept coming after me. i don't think there was any serious regret by the administration. i think they didn't like negative publicity and so wherever people pointed this out in the press and when it became a big issue they would say we're misunderstood. but i don't think eight years of a pattern of behavior is something that's misunderstood. >> so what does this tell us about the next four to eight years? how could a president trump build on what we saw from the obama administration with regards to pursuing leakers and sometimes looking into the journalists publishing those leaks? >> i think it will be very easy. i think obama and holder have left trump a very clear path on how to do this. people don't remember that until the valerie plame case in 2004, leaks were basically ignored by the government. so this process that the obama administration engaged in was really new. it was a sharm break with past tradition in washington when leaks were largel
