it was eugene debs ' most famous. i say then and i say now while there is a lower class, i am in it. while there is a criminal element, i am of it, and while there is a soul in prison i am not free. then the 1920 campaign where he decided to take part in -- can you tell me how he campaigned for president from his prison cell in atlanta? how did he do that? >> he was not allowed. it was an awkward situation for the federal government because he was a sedition assist being jailed but he was also a legitimate candidate from illegitimately goal party. actually showed up and presented him with flowers and nominated him to give him a little speech. the socialists did. then the government allowed him only to campaign by submitting, i think it was eight 500 word letters to the press over the course of the campaign. somebody who had been on the red special giving hundreds of speeches was basically spending the campaign relying on his party. to grab and spread the word. can you show us the campaign button? >> there it is. >> it

and eugene v. debs lived in this house with his wife kate, and she lived here for years after she died. we'll show you more of house as we continue here. the top floor of this house is an interesting mural. and the mural throughout the entire top floor depicts the years of debs' could you about e and wiee'll show you aspects of that art work poworkartwork. our second guest is joining us from the second floor which is now a museum room with a lot of artifacts. lisa phillips, a specialist in labor history. thanks so much for being with us. your thoughts on debs' significance. >> and i think that his significant ca significance with the american railway union and the socialist party as well. and he has had a lasting effect on many of the laws that were passed during the progressive year that were a result of his activism, some of which we still enjoy and he can tell us a lot about his time period through his running for president and through all his labor union activities as well. >> and lisa phillips

eugene was someone you called eugene comey you did not say hey, jean -- it was eugene. serious, studious, he loved reading books. he wanted to be a writer. he wrote some columns for the michigan daily paper. he had a sharp wit. not the kind that said i have a story to tell you, did you hear the joke about the echo it was, he would watch and comment on what people were doing, how they said something, or things like that. his stories were all about social ills of the time. he wrote a short story about a lynching in georgia, and the evils of that and another story about a young soldier who went off to training camp and came home with a sharpshooter metal and was bragging to his mom. he said don't worry, we are only shooting at targets. she says he doesn't even understand what he's about to get into. so eugene was the serious one. wanted to get into fighter aircrafts specifically to match his skills with the japanese pilots in aerial combat. eugene got into fighters because he did not want to fly a torpedo plane or dive bomber, where he had two or three men, whichever plane

so eugene was the serious one. delete wanted to get into tohter aircraft specifically match his skills with the japanese pilots in aerial combat. eugene got into fighters because he did not want to fly a torpedo plane or dive bomber where he had two or three men, whichever plane we are talking about. he said i don't want to be responsible for anyone else's death in the air, so i will fly a fighter. one, i'm had a third not sure which picture you have coming up here. joe was from new york and he was one of those cocky aviators. you watch tom cruise in the top gun kind of thing and the way they act is pretty much how he was. cigar, it seemed. that picture does not have a cigar. but he was known for that. party in the united states just before they were going to go over to the pacific. he was the wing man for the squadron commander. promise you ife i will bring him home safely. that did not turn out in one of the actions. there planes knocked slightly into each other and he went spinning to his death. the fourth one,

the name from eugene v. debs and it debuted in the early 1920s and it was one of the first noncommercial listener-supported radio station. i'm curious if he had any involvement with that radio station? >> thanks. his demise was in 1926. radio just beginning to come on the scene as a medium. did he have a connection? >> as far as i know, it's an homage to him, but he had no direct connection to it. >> we have 35 minutes left. this program is going by pretty quickly here. a question for you about debs, if you can answer this, if he were to walk into the room, we're surrounded by images of him all over this house. it's interesting how many you have preserved here in the foundation. can you give us a sense of how tall a man he was? was he slight? give us a personal glimpse of him if you can. >> as far as i know, he was -- i think he was 6'2" or 6'3". i'm not sure if that's correct. >> that's about right. >> and i think he was always very thin. so he was very lanky. you can see that in the pictures of him. and he

eugene: thank you again.nd we will be right back with the johns hopkins center for health security. at duke director of -- university. stick with us. ♪ >> hello, we're talking today about why safely reopen schools is a national priority to prevent further spread of covid-19 and how we got there. and i am thrilled to be joined by the president of the rockefeller foundation which is leading these pilot testing schools inor k-12 four cities and one state across the country that we have the potential to inform decisions right now on widespread testing. it is really great to have you. guest: great to be with you. the decision whether to send our kids back to school has really been one of the most controversial in the debate about reopening the country. right now, most of the nation's schoolchildren have not returned classrooms. we see the strain this is putting on families, employers, and most importantly, the kids. but i think all of us want to know if it is safe to send kids back to school. parent ofl, i'm a thr

eugene robinson, pulitzer prizewinning columnist. robert costa, national political reporter for "the post." also happens to be moderator of washington week on pbs. good evening and welcome to you all. ashley, three large gatherings on the road in pennsylvania today. as you saw a large gathering on the south lawn tonight. chief of staff is caught on live television saying this cannot be controlled. is this going to be our life now where this white house is concerned? living, campaigning as if it can't be controlled, all evidence to the contrary? >> yeah. and a lot of that, frankly, is intentional. the president is his white house and joe biden made two totally different bets on coronavirus. joe biden of course is rigorous in following all safety and scientific and public health recommendations, often taking precautions that even go beyond sort of the letter of the law and the letter of the guidance. and president trump and his team are the exact opposite. the president has very clearly conveyed to his aides and advisers he wants to tr

and his colleague, eugene robinson also at "the washington post." good evening and welcome to you all. erin, you get to go first with this question perhaps unanswerable. do you think any minds, any votes were changed at the end of tonight for those lucky few americans who have two flat screens hanging on the wall in their den? >> well, brian, that is an open question. and i certainly have whiplash from trying to keep up with tonight's dueling townhalls. look, this was supposed to be a town hall with both then on the stage and that is disappointing that didn't happen because the voters being able to engage with these candidates is really a different dynamic, and we saw their two very contrasting styles and messages on full display tonight. it's really just too bad voters didn't get to see that with them sharing a stage. i think really the undecided issue is whether people are going to vote or not but i don't think it's who they're going to vote for. so i think people kind of hunkered down in their camps tonight and either tuned into joe biden if they

eugene, start with you here. is the president trying to make up for lost time in the hospital? what's the political calculation of this in-person event two hours from now? >> we know that the president enjoys connecting with his base more than any other group. he has long believed that if he is to win re-election it will be primarily because the people who loved him most and longest will show out and in record-breaking numbers. also he's trying to get one particular message across to these individuals. the idea that the coronavirus pandemic is not as big of a deal as the media and even public health experts say it is. by having an event in-person, just days after he returned home is hoping those individuals will hear that message and move with it. allow it to move them to the polls in record numbers that they haven't seen before. >> not a big deal. i bet the 210,000 silenced voice wos disagree, not to mention all of their friends and loved ones. you write about trump, rather, eugene, trump's fairlessness of coronavirus is powered by the type of health care only he gets. he is t

eugene, thank you so much for being here this morning.to start -- we'll get to ilhan omar in a second, but i want to start with the president's reaction to the debate, which, of course, the main -- one of if main moments out of that was his comments about the proud boys, and for him to come out and say, acco according to these reports, that he's proud of the performance, that it's good for him, i think says a lot about what he was trying to do in the debate. this is something that we know he consistently does. we saw it in charlottesville and in a series of other examples. of course, his staff, afraid to tell him, no, actually, sir, we think this performance was a problem. >> indeed. one of the things that was fascinating about this debate is that if you read some of the comments from former white house aides, they said that president trump gave america a window into how he leads, how he governs. during staff meetings, he talks over people, pushes back on krit sinchs launches personal attacks when someone doesn't support an idea of his. s

socialism said eugene debs -- capitalism said debs is simply wrong. the vast inequality is simply wrong. it's a kind of christian, underlying notion of morality beneath the scientific analysis. anyway, in the 1890s, we mentioned this last time, the main expression of socialism in the u.s. was the tiny socialist labor party headed by daniel leon, who i mentioned last time. leon, a very strange and difficult guy, was one of the first to think in the united states of some of the modern problems of radicalism. the rise of mass culture. what does that mean for alternative? already you're getting mass newspapers and magazines and things like that. what should radicals do in a society where, you know, a certain dominant culture -- this goes back to goodwin -- is kind of permaneeating the society? he determined the way to determine that is creating a radical political party to mobilize workers to get them to think in a radical way. not a new idea, but he also concluded that the entire labor movement was basically an obstacle to this, particularly the american

and then there was eugene debs running a socialist candidate. not likely to win, but a part of the political campaign. and in 1912, socialism appeared to be a rising for. 's not only in the united states, but elsewhere, in germany the social democratic party, the largest in the west, had almost a majority of the parliament. they seem to be on the verge of coming through power, through the electoral process in germany. in finland, the social democrats were up around 40%, of the vote, in that district. in austria, 25%. in britain, the labour party, which had a socialist platform, was a major factor in, you know, british politics. so, in 1912, of course, wilson is elected. theater roosevelt, comes in second, taft, in what debs has over 900,000 votes. 6% of votes. gonna not, you know, a tremendous amount, but enough to be a factor in the election. in the same year, max hayes, running as a socialist for president of the american federation of labour, against samuel gumpers, gets one third of the vote in the american federation of labour. so there is

eugene robinson and ab stoddard. jeremy, i can imagine assembling the headlines and having them read russian attempts to sow discord and have all of the campaigns being pushed by russians but the advance if you will on that 2016 effort is now they're all being put into motion by the american president. what does that do? >> well, nicolle, we are entering a very dangerous phase. over the next 33 days what's not on the ballot is merely a choice between the republicans or democrats or trump or biden. actually what's on the ballot is a choice between democracy or whether or not we're going to revert to some russian form of dictatorship or autocracy. it's long been an ambition of putin and of russian state propaganda to show the world that american democracy doesn't work. that actually the people can't elect their representatives and that the peaceful transfer of power cannot occur and that's used to justify putin staying in office 10 or 16 years and that's the kind of rhetoric that president trump is talking about, i'll

. >> joining me now, reporter for the "washington post," eugene scott. eugene, good morning.always great to see you. this, of course, a delicate subject. but because the president, at least, has certainly tried to make a show of saying that he is on the mend, returning to the white house, we turn abi to som questions here. i think many were hoping, certainly, that former vice president joe biden said, essentially, he was hoping that the president would use this to send the right message to americans. public health officials are urging all of us to always wear a mask, to socially distance, to not gather in large groups. but it doesn't seem as though president trump is prepared to do that based on what we saw from the white house, where he immediately walked up those stairs and took off his mask for the cameras yesterday. what do you see as the next -- i mean, there are only -- there are fewer than 30 days until the election. what impact does this play and how do the next -- i mean, hell, let's just stick with the next three to seven days, because trying to project further out

then there was eugene debs running as the socialist candidate.not likely to win, but part of the political campaign. and in 1912, socialism appear to be a rising force. not only in the united states, but elsewhere in germany, the social democratic party, the largest in the west, had almost a majority of the parliament. they seem to be on the verge of coming to power through the electoral process. in austria, 25%. in britain, the labour party, which had a socialist platform, was a major factor in british politics. so 1912, of course wilson is elected. theodore roosevelt comes in second. taft and then debs has his over 900,000 votes, or 6% of the total. he gets 6% of the total. not a tremendous amount, but enough to be a factor in the election. in the same year, max hayes running as a socialist for president of the american federation of labour against samuel gompers, gets one third of the vote in the american federation of labour annual convention. so there is a socialist presence there. the largest weekly periodical in the nation is a socialist m

for that, we start to eugene robinson to start tonight's discussion. is that eternal question, is it the steroids or the stupidity? i hand it to you, gene. >> thanks so much for the buildup, lawrence. what can i say? what can i tell you? this is -- one of the craziest thing we have heard in the trump presidency, that is saying a lot. it could be the dexamethasone speaking. it could be trump. it's certainly one aspect of it. and this i'm sure, it would have been a boffo episode of the trump reality show. the reality show that he is in. in that day's episode, he would be superman and the next day, he would have to do something else. i mean this is what we're reduced to. this is what we're reduced to in the presidency of the united states. i never thought i would be here. but here we are, 22 days. let's get it over with. >> you get the easy ones, gene. david, you have had to hold two presidential campaigns together with your steadfast airline pilot-like calm. especially on the turbulent days, the 22 days that are left. take our audience through the pollin

senator eugene mccarthy, august 17th, 1967. ...[applause] >> this question is about jean mccarthy and his counterpart, bernie sanders, you pointed out is our modern version. i was one of those people that went door to door for mccarthy and like young people today who are going to door to door for bernie sanders, and he is opening up the protests and the possibilities for the future that for young people, we see what happens in virginia in a result of the woman's march. so in the same way that you have so much accolades 4g mccarthy, my question is, why doesn't msnbc and other mainstream new stations cover the alternative to these established point of views? virginia took everybody by surprise. these are all first-time candidates who are inspired by this new wave, so that is what i hope for when i listen to the news. we love your show. but i would like to hear that other voice coming in. >> is that other voice bernie? >> it is bernie. i would love to hear him. but i also want to hear about county elections, i don't want to just hear

eugene, good morning to you. always great to see you, let me just ask you what was your recollection between the disparity between what the admiral said there, and what the president has been saying on the campaign trail about these cases going up and about the media coverage of the virus? >> you know, kasie, it was honestly shocking, if your viewers get a chance to watch the entire interview, he at least not only said wear a mask. but held up a mask to show people how to put it on, probably five times. this being someone who is on this coronavirus task force for the president. a president who mocked his opponent for wearing a mask. and seems to think that there's too much attention on covid. it just lets you know how -- just how inconsistent, perhaps, the messaging from the white house on how serious this illness is, and how that can be quite confusing for voters looking to top officials trying to figure out which way to move forward as we expect the possibility of more outbreaks this fall, as more people move i

eugene robinson, pulitzer prizewinning columnist for "the washington post." and david plouffe, former campaign manager, senior advisor to the former president. also on the board of directors of the obama foundation. his latest work "a citizens guide to beating donald trump." i have never looked forward to seeing your faces this much before. we get to celebrate the end of the last presidential debate. claire, you first. what did we just witness? >> well, i think it's really interesting that people think trump did so well tonight, but that is in context. i mean, he was a train wreck last time. this time he was just a moving -- slow moving manufacturer of lie after lie after lie after lie. and i do think joe biden once again showed why the suburban women are drawn to his candidacy. he talked about how he'll unite the red states and the blue states, and how he wanted to be a president for everyone. and importantly, he talked about their families instead of attacking each others families. and when he did that i thought it was really telling that trump made fun of

eugene profit is still with us and dave joins the conversation as well.eported today, and some pretty decent beats on the eps line. why did we see citi close down 5 -- or 4% plus. >> i think we had beats off analyst's estimates and the estimates were obviously all over the place because of what was happening with the provisions and the margins but i think what they are telling is you they are fine, they have got you know some issues ahead with rising non-performers and some lower margins as the margins reflect the lower rates and the non-performers start to kick up. nothing is going to be -- is going to hurt them that much, but i think it's -- you know, there isn't a lot that's exciting going on here i mean there has been a lot of good commentary on your programming today about the different issues that they have. at the end of the day, they are just not that exciting and there isn't a lot to get better for them to really say earnings aren't going to double or triple revenuesaren't going to double or triple in the next 12 or 18 months >> no, but isn't it

joining us now, reporter for the "washington post," eugene scott.ugene, it's always great to see you at this hour. really appreciate it. let's start there with the former president, barack obama, getting out on the campaign trail here in the final, final days before the election. what is barack obama, former president obama, bring to the table here? these events in philadelphia very much focused on making sure black americans turn out to the polls. >> well, we know that president obama's one of the most popular politicians, certainly, democrats in the country, and he has an ability to connect with various demographics. one of those demographics he really is hoping to motivate is black voters. we know in 2016 that black voters did not turn out at the same rates that they did in 2008, when president barack obama was on the ballot. so in many ways, he's trying to make the case that he is on the ballot again, and specifically, his legacy. and so, he's trying to point out what he believes he did well, what joe biden will continue to do well, and what he

and eugene robinson with us. he's associate editor and pulitzer prize-winning columnist for "the washington post" and an msnbc political analyst. jim, it's difficult for gene robinson to keep a straight face, it's difficult for president obama to keep a straight face when these delivering those lines about president trump accepting the praise of dictators and dictators wanting to see him re-elected, but what do you think is the most effective thing we're hearing in what we can loosely call the poetry of the campaign in the final week? >> well, look, i think this election right now is a referendum on covid and trump's handling of it. you know, we used to say to president obama, if the campaign's a referendum on the incumbent, they usually lose. if it's a choice, they win. and right now this is a complete referendum on trump and his terrible handling of all these things. and trump is, as you've been saying, lawrence, night after night, trump's been steering into it and, like, literally can't shut up about it. we ha

eugene, pick up where michael left off.talk about the president's -- his little excursion, the drive by last night waving at supporters at walter reed, potentially endangering personnel as well as others who got him out of the presumably well protected covid suite there and took him out to drive around in an suv. >> that was crazy. first of all, i think kasie gave us last year, life comes at you fast, 2020, and it sure does. think where we were just even friday at this hour, even thursday, to say nothing of thursday. thursday at this hour it seems like months and months ago now so much happened in the intervening time. the drive about was just crazy, the joy ride around the block to greet his supporters and the president obviously, and i think almost criminally endangered the secret service agents who had to ride in the car to protect him, in an hermetically sealed environment. that's where you don't want to be with a covid patient, despite how much ppe you wear. agents were wearing protective equipment. presumably those tw

ashwani kumar wants to notion and owner of these practices also happening in india a lot people in eugene right now a chatting back and forth saying this is happening in our country this is happening india and. yes sadly it is happening in india. it's happening in countries all around the world we found in india just in january of last year that we reported that there is thousands of people who were found shackled. in the quote like cattle there tied with iron chains and had lost had locked those are the conditions just in one state and we've been working with local organizations there again in groups like ours that are people of their made up of people with mental health conditions and that's really important to this work because we need to make sure that we're making we're emphasizing the voices of people with lived experience with mental health conditions in india and elsewhere it's happening in guatemala it's happening in morocco it's happening in pakistan it's happening in many countries across pretty much every continent where we've documented the shackling and it's it's frankly stu

eugene, yamiche, thank you so much. thanks for joining us. >> can't even tweet about rasmussen. >> exactly. he's even lost that. that's how bad it is. as yamiche reminds us, anything can happen. thanks for starting us off. charlie sykes is sticking around. when we come back, it's not just seeing the blue writing on the wall at the white house. republicans are fearing and feeling the ground shift under them on capitol hill as well. we'll look at the money and enthusiasm following the senate races that are also now just 22 days away. >>> and as trump heads back on the road attempting to spin a picture of strength and wellness, the risk he poses to the public in these states is now very real. we'll look at that more closely. >>> as trump speaks, william barr acts. all the way the justice department tries to bring president trump's public lies about the election to a reality. we're at the movies and we need to silence our phone. who knows where that button is? i don't have silent. everyone does -- right up here. it happens

police say in eugene -- police in eugene say he choked his girlfriend then snatched her phone when sheleged attack happened friday night. he played tim allen's eldest son on "home improvement" during its run from 1991 to 1999. >>> aj mclean of the backstreet boys is speaking out about his decades long struggle with alcohol. the 42-year-old is featured on this year's "dancing with the stars" and says his bandmates confronted him about his behavior. >> when the boys kind of caught on, i missed out on rehearsal for like two days straight, and they basically broke into my house, and they dumped ice water on me while i was passed out in my bed. people started to see a difference in me. i was just living a lie. >> mcclean attends daily 12-step meetings online and speaks with his sponsor six times a day. later on "good morning america" he describes the wake-up call that helped him get clean. >>> returning to the pandemic how a covid vaccine may be distributed. also this morning, twitter has removed a message from an adviser on the white house coronavirus task force. earlier i spoke with dr. d

but we solved a whole lot of problems. >> and eugene, he actually was schooling people throughout his day yesterday, how to do it, make sure you've got the second envelope, make sure your signatures match. it isn't that hard. really trying to go through it point by point. >> absolutely. and, you know, why was he in philadelphia? because if african-american turnout in philadelphia had been higher last time, hillary clinton would have won pennsylvania and ditto detroit and michigan, milwaukee and wisconsin. african-american turnout was down from the obama years. and it's important for joe biden's chances to get it back up. and it is interesting that obama specifically spoke to black men. i think everyone in the democratic party expects that black women will be a dependable and enthusiastic constituency for joe biden and will come out and vote for him in large numbers. and there has been some polling that suggests maybe a bit more of a question about black men, as to whether they're as near unanimous in their support of joe biden as black women are. and so i think he wanted to make that

. >> >> our featured contender this week as eugene debs. at the turn of the 20th century a five-time candidate and the nation's most celebrated world war i protester. this december 1921 footage captures deb's on his return to the hometown of tara hot, indiana, following his release from prison by president warren

as eugene was saying, it is a revolutionary vote.i still trust in the disposition, in the views and sentiments and values of the american public. and i worry less about election day than what donald trump will do in the days after november 3. but i guess we'll reckon with that in future shows. >> yeah, just to put a button on that point, john bolton, a right winger to the right of the far right of the republican party voiced that concern in an interview with jake tapper last night. and he actually put it on one very specific and small group of people. the republicans in the u.s. senate. he said that it is their job to deal with whatever donald trump does if he loses and refuses to leave. so we'll deal with that today, we'll deal with it every day i'm sure. eugene, mara, thank you for spending time with us. rick is sticking around. up next, we're going live to arizona where voters there are having big time second thoughts about the long time dominance of purchases in their start thanks to donald j. trump. you've still got game. at aet

they had the support and sympathy of the president, eugene v. debs.nd debs and the american railway union called for secondary strikes. our switchmen, our railroad workers around the country will refuse to switch any pullman car into a train. when you have 40,000-plus rail workers around the country saying this, it starts to get serious. by late june, train networks were being shut down around the country. they tried not to obstruct the mail because they did not want to right now afoul of the federal government. but management was quite, quite smart in how they handled this. they said if the train is not complete, meaning if you won't put in the pullman car, we're not running it. they went to the federal government and they explained that it was the unionists who were being obstructionists and so the federal government started to take notice at the action going on. in chicago at hay market who had dealt with this? it had been local authorities. this is obviously too big in scale to be handled by local authorities. at homestead, it had been the state.

your dissent called a eugenic statute. it was a narrow one up until you limit your dissent of the one issue, the state of indiana was asking you to review. >> so we dissenters from that hearing, first dissented as you say on the fetal remains disposition portion. the supreme court reversed the panel. on the eugenics portion of the bill, it is true the state of indiana did not seek the hearing on that, but we had many other states enter the case urging us to take that claim up. and what judge easter brooke's dissent did was explain why he thought it was an open question but one best left to the supreme court. and we didn't reach any conclusion with respect to it. >> well, and whatever position you took would not have changed the final decision of the court. in 2006 you signed an open letter that was published in the south bend tribune. on one side describes the legacy of roe versus wade as -- on the other side you stated you oppose abortion, the right to life and fertilization and natural death, and some judges take that po

some, like perennial socialist party presidential candidate eugene be dubbed, we're familiar targets. many were less prominent would be recognizable to today's lawyers from the names of the foundational first amendment cases. charles shrink, jacob abrams, all were radicals who asserted, as the supreme court put it, the usual repetition that we went to war to protect the loans of wall street. in the progressive mindset, it was one thing to suspend civil liberties to beat the kaiser, to win the war to end all wars. it was an entirely different matter to use expansive wartime legislation as a lever for suppressing radical agitation. bolsheviks revolution or no. concerns of this sort were amplified by postal censorship of the masses, and respected socialist magazine. as it happened, the editor of the masses was max eastman, whose sister krystal, had served as executive secretary of the american union against militarism and helped to found its civil liberties bureau, which subsequently reorganized as the national civil liberties bureau and eventually became the aclu. in typical progressive
