Hegseth calls the press treasonous. From Fordham to Imus to NewsNation. Preparation beats panic. And a love letter to NYC. Pete Hegseth just labeled the press treasonous. The White House calls reporters the enemy of the state. And somewhere between the hot takes and the hate mail, working journalists still have to show up every day and tell Americans the truth. On this Friday Football edition, Paul sits down with News Nation anchor Connell McShane — one of the most fair, prepared, and genuinely decent people in cable news — to pull back the curtain on how a centrist newsroom actually operates in Trump's America. McShane breaks down his daily discipline, the independent media bias ratings he uses as a north star, and why he believes a free press is both a privilege and a right. From there the conversation widens into something bigger: how to raise kids, coach a football team, and keep your head on straight when the country feels like it's coming apart. Paul and Connell swap stories on Fordham, John Sterling, Mike Breen, Fraunces Tavern, and the ghosts of George Washington. They close with a full Football Friday slate — Bama-Mississippi State, Ohio State-Iowa, Bills-Pats, and the 12U New York City Lions rolling the wishbone into Queens. It's the no-BS, veteran-led conversation independent Americans need heading into the weekend. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

What if the best innovation in construction has never been the technology, but the people willing to listen?In this September takeover episode of KP Unpacked, guest host Tyler Sellhorn sits down with Ravi Bhatia, Business Development Manager at Skanska USA Civil in New York, ahead of his appearance at AEC Summit on October 19th at The Weylin in Brooklyn. Ravi brings 35 years of commercial high-rise, transportation, critical systems, and design-build infrastructure experience, and teaches pre-construction and planning at Fordham. His through line across all of it: innovation is never really about technology. It's about people with a growth mindset who care about what they do.The conversation covers the full arc from CAD to BIM to 3D, 4D, and 5D modeling, why a change request that took a week in 2005 takes 20 minutes today, and why the next unlock isn't capital cost efficiency but lifecycle cost. Buildings, bridges, tunnels, airports: the question that should be on every bid evaluation is not who's cheapest, but who's building something future-proof. And the best ideas? They come from the factory floor, not the corner office.Key questions answered:Why does innovation in AEC always start with safety first?What is the through line from CAD to BIM to 3D, 4D, and 5D modeling?How did a change request that took a week in 2005 shrink to 20 minutes today?Why is lifecycle cost the next frontier for AEC innovation?What does future-proof actually mean and how do you quantify it for an owner?What's the difference between DBIA and DBOIA and why does it matter?Why do the best practical ideas in construction come from the field, not the office?What did a GE factory foreman tell a CEO that stopped everyone in their tracks?What would Ravi say to a young professional considering a career in AEC?Why is the project leader actually a project servant?What does servant leadership look like when your job is to remove hurdles, not give orders?How does curiosity connect the dots from CAD to whatever comes next?If you're a young professional wondering whether AEC is the right industry, a project leader trying to figure out what servant leadership actually looks like in practice, or an owner trying to understand why lifecycle cost should be a bid criteria, this episode will remind you why the people who build things that outlast their own lifetimes never lose their curiosity.Listen now.Catch Ravi live at AEC Summit on October 19th at The Weylin in Brooklyn.
American students fell three quarters of a school year behind in reading and math between 2018 and 2025. They now trail China, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the UK, Canada and Australia. The skills dropping fastest are the ones the AI economy rewards: evaluating sources, connecting information, thinking critically. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers walk through three reports released this month. PISA found "hasty reading" has doubled, with nearly 10% of students now reading fast and wrong. The Thomas B. Fordham Institute found 76% of high schoolers use school devices for something other than school every day, and 26% use AI during quizzes and tests. The GAO found 19% of districts closed a school last year over a plumbing failure, a flood, or a 110-degree classroom. Then there's Mississippi. Long ranked at the bottom, it copied Florida's third-grade reading law, set a passing threshold students have to clear, and tested new elementary teachers on the science of reading. Mississippi now ranks ninth in the country in reading and sits well ahead of California. The countries holding their scores steady share one trait: stricter device discipline in the classroom. (00:00) Mississippi is excelling and California is not (01:43) PISA: US scores fall three quarters of a year of learning (02:33) "Hasty reading" doubles, and the countries it skipped (05:08) Chromebooks stay at school, LA County caps devices at 10 hours a week (06:26) Fordham: 76% admit daily illicit device use, 26% use AI on tests (07:47) The technology was built for the teacher, not the student (09:08) GAO: 1 in 5 districts closed a school over facilities (09:58) The problem is not money, it's the approach (11:57) Mississippi copies Florida's third-grade reading law (15:16) 44% of below-average SAT scorers get A's
The New York State Government continues to help support the cost of household energy bills. Governor Hochul announced an energy affordability plan. WFUV's Anne Jackson explains. New York City is disinfecting ten cooling towers in the Bronx that might contain legionnaires' disease after testing positive. WFUV's Tahlia Pearson has more on what the city is doing to prevent the spread of the bacteria. The Mayor's Office released new plans to reduce traffic deaths and severe injuries. At Fordham University, thousands of unused meal swipes expire every week. But a group of students has figured out how to turn that waste into meals for Bronx residents facing food insecurity. WFUV's Andrew McDonald has more.

Arts of the Border: Fugitive Bodies at Europe's Edges (Fordham, 2025) investigates the consequences of unfolding catastrophes across the world and the displacement they continue to produce. Through recent narratives and media representations of the refugee “crisis” at Europe's edges, it tells a new story about those on the move, the technologies unleashed on them at borders, the racialized and colonial histories that inform these technologies, and the artistry with which migrants and allies bear witness to displacement. The book reorients us toward the creativity and movement of migrants themselves– their “arts of the border”—as well as toward the political force of the arts that represent them, whether in literature, documentary film, or art installations. Sanyal proposes kino-aesthetics as a framework for capture and fugitivity at borders. From kino—to set in motion—and aesthetics— relating to sensory perception—kino-aesthetics conveys the force of bodies in motion and the image in its circulation. The book examines the simultaneity of capture and escape at thresholds of illegalization, from airport detention zones to Calais's “jungle” and the Euro-African border at Ceuta and Melilla. What emerges throughout these case studies is a portrayal of border violence in its racial and colonial forms as well as an archive of refusal, fugitivity, and un-bordered imagining. Guest Debarati Sanyal is Professor of French, Director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry, and currently holds the Zaffaroni Family Chair of Undergraduate Education. Affiliated with the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory, the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative, the Center for Race and Gender, and the Institute of European Studies, her teaching and research interests span 19th -21st-century French and Francophone literature, memory studies, aesthetics and bio/necropolitics, critical human rights and refugee studies. She is a recipient of the UC Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award (2012) and a Guggenheim Fellowship (2021-2022). She is currently co-PI on the Mellon-funded A Counter-Imaginary in Authoritarian Times (2024-2027). Besides Arts of the Border, Dr. Sanyal has authored Memory and Complicity: Migrations of Holocaust Remembrance (Fordham, 2015), translated into French as Mémoire et Complicité: Au Prisme de la Shoah (PUV, 2019); and The Violence of Modernity: Baudelaire, Irony and the Politics of Form (Johns Hopkins, 2006). She has guest-edited “Time and Politics in Contemporary Critique: Entanglements and Aftermaths” (Critical Times, 2018), ha also co-edited, with Éric Fassin, Demos Anxiety: Genealogies, Rhetorics, and Politics of Great Replacement (forthcoming in Patterns of Prejudice); with Damon Young and Mario Telò, Proximities: Reading with Judith Butler (Representations 2022), and, with Michael Rothberg and Max Silverman, Noeuds de mémoire: Multidirectional Memory in Postwar French and Francophone Culture (Yale French Studies 118-119). Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama, with research concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan France and the francophone Caribbean. Their monograph Posthumanist Ecology in Global French Surrealism is forthcoming in 2027 from Northwestern University Press.

I was at my desk at Police Headquarters, eating a bagel with coffee. I heard the explosion, and I said to myself: That's the real thing. I got back to my desk days later, and my breakfast was right where I left it. But everything else had changed. It was my second day at a new job, teaching at an elementary school in the South Bronx, one that Jonathan Kozol describes in his book, Savage Inequalities. Parents began turning up to take their children home, but none of them could tell me exactly why. Someone said, "They bombed the Pentagon." The administrators wouldn't give us any information, although they must have known because they were listening to the radio. With no phone for teachers and no cellphone, I bought a phone card and called my husband from a bodega. He was on a business trip in Denmark, watching it all on TV. Subway service was disrupted, so it took me four hours to get home to Chelsea, which was 2 miles north of the Trade Center. The smell of smoke and burned bodies was chokingly strong, and looking south along Eighth Avenue, I could see plumes of smoke still rising. The streets were full of people, in shock, some of them weeping. I recall vividly my wife Maia and I dropping our son Charlie at his first day of preschool and weeping and embracing in the hallway because he was growing up and we were ready but we weren't. I remember going to the polls to vote for Mark Greene for mayor. I remember my train down to work in Union Square being stopped due to an incident at the World Trade Center and I remember remembering an incident there before, a thwarted bombing, and a pit in my stomach which only grew when I asked the subway conductor what happened and he said a plane hit one of the buildings, and I ascended out of the station in time to see the smoke pouring out of the tower and I remember stopping to chant "nam myoho renge kyo" as I walked to work to use the phone to call my wife, chanting for all the people in danger and all the people who had just died and for more people to wake up and stop using violence as a political weapon and I remember ending up walking 23 blocks back uptown until I caught a bus and finally got back to the preschool only to learn that my wife had heard the news and picked Charlie up and was at our apartment and walked there and we embraced and wept for so much more than our son's first day of school. I had returned the night before from Buffalo, where I was taking care of my aging parents, who were having a difficult time. The radio signal went out. We turned on the television and saw the plane hit the first tower. My fiancé, now husband, said, "That was no accident." He went to work at a large insurance company a few blocks away. I returned to my home office. I turned on the TV, but it went out. I went into a neighbor's apartment, where they were standing on the terrace, and I watched the towers fall. I was worried about my sister, who had flown in from Boston the night before. She had been at Logan Airport at the same time as the attackers. Hourly, we heard the sirens coming up First Avenue, bringing remains to the morgue. It was just an oppressive time of fear and sadness. Later, I taught freshman writing at Fordham and asked the students to write about the first event that hit them outside their family. I encouraged them to choose topics other than 9/11 because I just didn't want to read the essays. But 13 of the 16 wrote about that day, when they were 9 years old, and it was startling how much they remembered: what they were wearing, where they were standing, whom they were speaking to and how the adults lied to them, for their own protection, of course. They were told that a pesticide had been sprayed on the grass, and that's why they had to come in from the playground, or that there was a problem with the air conditioning, so their parents had to pick them up. The essays conveyed a sense of betrayal, which I think the country felt to some degree. Mary Anne Myers and her husban...

My guest today is Professor Paul Johnson, a veteran value investor, long-time Columbia and Fordham professor, and co-author of The Enduring Value of Roger Murray, Pitch the Perfect Investment, and The Gorilla Game. He's taught in the same value investing tradition that runs from Benjamin Graham through Roger Murray, and he brings both a practitioner's and a historian's eye to our conversation today.02:10 – Origin story: a teenage bet on a gold penny stock turned $250 into $2,500 and hooked Paul on markets with "no physical labor."08:46 – Debut theory: the '73–'74 crash plus the rise of relative performance permanently reshaped investing after Graham.10:54 – Buffett's 1991 letter: value and growth investing are "basically the same thing" — the label "value investing" is redundant.24:54 – Correction for the record: David Dodd, not Murray, taught Security Analysis until 1961.27:04 – Murray's core contribution: rigor and discipline — illustrated by the Leon Cooperman "400-number table" story.33:26 – The magnet metaphor: intrinsic value pulls price toward it over time, though price can overshoot or undershoot.42:28 – Paul pushes back on his own construct: ignoring the future still means betting value stays stable.47:39 – Bruce Greenwald's addition: sustainable competitive advantage, and the 1997 "Competitive Advantage Period" paper with Mauboussin.51:53 – Why growth concentrates in mega-caps: scale, internet infrastructure, and the "optionality" to acquire threats early.58:45 – Framing device: "What if AI is just a normal disruptive technology?" — like electricity or the internal combustion engine.01:16:14 – "I say the key to investment" — a superior value estimate plus the ability to hold through volatility.01:17:33 – A Buffett-adjacent friend rode $10K to $1B because he "didn't want to disappoint Warren."Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

Natalie Plana is a New York facial plastic and craniofacial surgeon who treats a newborn's cleft lip and a grandmother's facelift with the same eye for 1mmr of difference. Trained in classical ballet and modern dance, Dr. Plana spent three years at the Ailey School while earning her degree at Fordham.A single email as a medical student changed her direction. She reached out to Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, NYU's newly recruited chairman of plastic surgery and a pioneer of facial transplantation, and spent two years as a research fellow on his team, witnessing one of the most extensive face transplants performed to date. That work, she says, is where she truly learned what plastic surgery is and how to meet a patient's needs.Her craniofacial philosophy runs through the whole conversation: function and aesthetics are not competing priorities. Whether she's aligning the red border of an infant's cleft lip or rejuvenating an older face, the standard is the same, and a one-millimeter step-off is noticeable to the eye. She also makes a distinction worth hearing, that necessity should be defined by the patient's goals, not by the surgeon.Dr. Plana treats the face as a whole, integrating the bony skeleton with the soft tissue rather than working only on the surface, and why rhinoplasty sits at the center of it all. She also walks through how much jaw surgery has changed: patients can now go through orthognathic surgery with Invisalign instead of braces, and with elastics for a couple of weeks instead of having their jaw wired shut.If you're weighing facial surgery, or you just want to understand how a surgeon thinks about the face, this is a warm, unusually candid place to start.Dr. Natalie PlanaFacial Plastic & Craniofacial Surgeon, New York CityDr. Natalie Plana is a fellowship-trained facial plastic and craniofacial surgeon in New York City whose work blends reconstruction and aesthetics across the face. She earned her medical degree at NYU, where she was recognized for excellence in plastic surgery, completed her plastic surgery residency at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and returned to NYU for advanced fellowship training in craniofacial surgery. Her practice spans cleft and craniofacial reconstruction, rhinoplasty, orthognathic (jaw) surgery, and facial rejuvenation, and she still performs cleft surgery alongside her aesthetic work. A former Alvin Ailey and Fordham dancer, she credits that background for the discipline and precision she brings to the operating room.Follow Dr. Plana on Instagram @dr.natalieplanaLearn more at planaplasticsurgery.comAbout Meet the DoctorThe purpose of this podcast is simple.

This is the All Local afternoon update for July 22, 2026.
Donald Trump is practicing crony capitalism on an unprecedented scale, with the government greenlighting major mergers that benefit the president's friends (most notably the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger). I spoke to Zephyr Teachout, who teaches constitutional law at Fordham, about this worrying development. We take up the long history of anti-monopoly politics going back to the American revolution and the trust battles of the late 19th century as well as the possibility state governments can fight the new wave of consolidation. Zephyr has often written on his subject for The Nation, notably in two recent articles. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On this episode Mark Simon was joined by Dr. Ken Schneck. Ken is the founding editor of The Buckeye Flame, Ohio's LGBTQ+ newsroom. He's written for many prominent publications, including The Huffington Post and The Advocate. He also was a tenured professor at Baldwin-Wallace, a book author, a public speaker, and a former syndicated radio show host. And he's a board member for NLGJA- the association of LGBTQ journalists. I hope that covers everything.He's a 1999 grad of NYU with a masters there and a doctorate from Fordham and was formerly a college administrator. And we should have interviewed him a long time ago.Ken talked about why The Buckeye Flame exists and what its purpose is. He shared examples of some of the things that he's written about, talked about his approach to teaching, explained how he managed his mental health, and much more.

A first-gen student, he talks openly about family expectations, finances, and why spreadsheets and commutes couldn't replace patient impact. He explains the planning that made his return possible: saving while living at home, using loans wisely, and enrolling in a one-year bridge/SMP at Toro Harlem that mirrored M1 exams and offered a guaranteed seat with a 3.45 GPA plus a comprehensive exam. He retook the MCAT to around 501–502 using Kaplan and official full-lengths, and found confidence through improved study systems and corporate-built habits. Now an M1, he's volunteering in Harlem, reflecting on health disparities, and even launching a brick-and-mortar tea franchise in Astoria with partners—while keeping med school first. Dr. Gray and Zarak dig into letting go of a six-figure salary, rebuilding confidence, managing ADHD with better tools, and why exploring interests outside of medicine can strengthen your future as a physician.What You'll Learn:- How a low MCAT and average GPA didn't end his med school goals- What a guaranteed-seat bridge/SMP at Toro Harlem required- How he planned the leap: savings, loans, and timing while working- MCAT retake resources he used the second time around- Balancing M1 demands with launching a brick-and-mortar business

What makes a good mom? Is it adhering to the perfectly packaged image of a shiny, happy woman cooking lavish meals with her 2.5 children, always cleaning, never complaining, and never NOT grateful, doting, and happy? No – but that doesn't mean that the expectations are any more attainable. Any choice a mom makes is immediately subject to scrutiny or ridicule. Anything she does is under a microscope. She can't miss a beat. She can't wonder what her life might have been if she wasn't a mother. And she DEFINITELY can't do anything for herself.

You know what makes things feel more okay? Kelly Corrigan, the host of Kelly Corrigan Wonders and the author of so many wonderful books (my favorite is Tell Me More). Today, Kelly and Nora dig through a treasure trove of (more than) okay things, including unexpected gratitude from an adult child (CALL YOUR MOM!), a book about a possible alien encounter, slow but steady civic progress and much more. You can share your okay things with us at ☎️502-388-OKAY (6529) or
