Coming up at the top of the hour is newsday with my colleague steve lai. But first, heres hardtalk. Welcome to hardtalk. Im stephen sackur. All of us are heavily influenced by the social, cultural and economic environment in which we are raised. As ideas, trends and technologies change, so too do generational traits. And right now there is intense focus on what is happening to generations of young people closer in age to my kids, than to me. Are young adults inclined to be open minded or closed . Are childrens minds being rewired by the ubiquitous smartphone . Well, my guest is the renowned social psychologistjonathan haidt. Are we losing sight of what freedom and curiosity really mean .

That happened almost 24 hours after protesters broke into the building and occupied it. The nypd says Hamilton Hall is now cleared and so is the Tent Encampment on the south lawn of the campus. An nypd spokesperson spoke to nbc news shortly after the officers went in. The building was very heavily fortified. Doorways were blocked by Soda Machines, couches, plywood.
