my father is gregory a fairly well known california architect from the forty's and fifty's. so this is the letters. that i just came into my hotel room from an interesting and unexpected visit to the basement drafting rooms that yeah why did have to johnson's jewel in new canaan he is a real fascist intellectual. i started rummaging through some old papers and then i came across this here 200 page 10200 page file that the f.b.i. kept on him and they were watching everything he did from the mid forty's to the mid fifty's. gregory believes that decent housing should be the right of everyone not just the privilege of very wealthy people. watching one. percentage of population is black there should be a lot of black families living out here yeah this is only a beginning but i think it's wonderful well let's see how wonderful it is when i want a bell and winds come flying out. termite you know it's. the neighborhood was supposed to be twice as large the playoffs was $400.00 homes and only $52.00 were built the f.h.a. at the time didn't think that enter graded neighborhoods would

david gregory was actually with me last year on that very historic night.could you have ever imagined what the year would bring when we started there thinking, wow, this is huge, the nba is not going to play. >> yeah. i mean, it touched popular culture in a way that night where all these things came together. the sports world, you know, a figure like tom hanks and rita wilson, people who are so recognizable started to bring it home. and then looking at a president who was facing down something that was so difficult, he didn't realize that he seemed in over his head that night and obviously in the days and months to come. this has been quite a year. but it's at least redeeming tonight that we have a different future that we can start to see the end of this. >> impact david axelrod, of the speech by president biden. >> you want to speak about the ordeal we've been through and honor of sense of pain and loss that people feel and still be optimistic about the future. you want to signify the progress that has been made without rolling up the mission accomplished

david gregory, i said at the top and i believe this. it's an existential cause the fight they're about to have. pandemic is bad. it was always going to go. it's just about how much human cost comes along with it. this spate of laws going across this country is something i would never have expected to see in my lifetime. this is a jim crow move by the right, plain and simple. and the only chance that there is to stop it in a single stroke, you can litigate your way out of it but it could take years, is hr-1. do you think the democrats can pass it? >> i don't know if they can. everybody who wants to vote should be able to vote in this country, and nothing should get in the way of that. that makes common sense. but republicans are able to muddy this by in some cases legitimate questions about making sure elections are secure, issues around provisional balloting. these are fair questions. what are unfair questions is when you have litigants like from arizona say this is a zero sum game, we have to keep our advantage by making sure certain p

. >> representative gregory meeks. he serves the state of new york, the fifth district and also the chair of the foreign affairs committee. we appreciate your time this morning, sir. >> good to be with you. >> reverend meeks, representative, before we start talking about matters of foreign policy, hr1 beak worked on this week, what do you say to those critics particularly on the republican side about how it shapes voting in their mind. >> what we're talking about is making sure everybody has access and make it easier for people to vote. we talk around the world about democracy. the essence of democracy is the individual's right and ability to vote. so what hr-1 does, it protects the right to vote by removing barriers to cast a ballot. i know, for example, post reconstruction time was put in place was barriers to prevent african-americans from voting by counting how many jellybeans were in a jar and things that eliminated folks from having true access to ballots. that's not who we should be in 2021. we should be making

joseph gregory mahoney who's a professor of politics at east china normal university thanks for being with us and helping us wrap our mind around this tense situation to say the least how much of a blow is this really in tensions to chinese relations i think it's a considerable blow you know i think that we've seen that there are going to be media reports. for. you know in a minute their nightmare tonight and in fact over the past year we've seen 3 rounds of us thanks michel nevertheless getting all 27 countries would be you to go along with the younger somewhat surprised but there were rumors like that might have. now a lot has been made in the western media over the human rights violations and the claims of human rights violations against the minority what are your thoughts. well the transgenic the terms genocide and cultural genocide i wash by both pale and blake and and trudeau and canada has that got these claims and yet the state department's own investigation king has determined that no genocide is taking place that said what's most interesting about the claims is that no non-w

david gregory and brian fallon. d. greg, is my analysis of mcconnell and this kind of feigned surprise at what he's saying now, do you see this as unexceptional as i do? >> yeah, i do see it as unexceptional. this is about the votes and this is about power politics. we are well into this era of power politics. brian will weigh in on this, by suspect given the democrats i know there's a lot of frustration that republicans have played power politics better than they have in congress. mcconnell of course is the ultimate player in that. and so, yeah, he'll issue these warnings saying that all kind of things will happen, and democrats do need to remember that what they achieved today will ultimately be used against them when republicans are back in control and they have to make a determination about whether it's worth it. calculation now is on the filibuster, how do they reform it? where do they have the votes? it's a simple numbers game they're playing and that's the calculation the president will make. >> first things fir

joining us now political analyst david gregory. david, i want to play again part of what we played before. just the president's speech where he talks to the american people and asks them for things i haven't really heard in a way from a president before. listen. >> i will not relent until we beat this virus, but i need you, the american people, i need you. i need every american to do their part. i need you to get vaccinated when it's your turn and when you can find an opportunity and to help your family, your friends, your neighbors get vaccinated as well. >> you know, you were at the white house after 9/11, and i'm not saying presidents haven't called for sacrifice before, david, but i don't remember seeing a president lean over a podium like that and reach out and basically shake americans by the lapels and say, i need you. help me. help me. it was different. >> it felt a lot more reading about fdr than seeing modern presidents we've could have had in that setting in the east room who are more formal and are more grave and certai

michela gregory mentioned that it looked like almena was dozing off and not paying attention. judge trina thompson also noticed that he was nodding off and his actions were jerky. she ultimately determined he was okay. i spoke to one woman over the phone who lost their daughter. this is what she had to say about almena's behavior today. >> and it seems as if derick almena is falling asleep. is he on drugs? is he even aware of what we are saying? he doesn't seem to be. it looks as if he's nodding off. are we really that boring to him? >> yeah, melissa -- >> reporter: we are waiting for derick almena to come outside of this courthouse any minute soon, but, janelle, obviously, i've been following this trial since day one. it was a pretty jarring experience to have to tune in and listen in. we didn't have the opportunity to see derick almena's face when the powerful victim statements were read out loud >> it was difficult do hear one of those families saying that he wasn't paying attention. usually they make their impact statements in the courtroom so they can see the suspect and

joining us now to talk about all of this, we have cnn political analyst, david gregory.o see you, david. >> good morning. >> so the scope of this act is being likened to the new deal. nancy pelosi says it's the most consequential thing she's seen in her 33 years, except maybe with the affordable care act, but she thinks that this one will have an even bigger impact. so what's the significance today? >> well, it's a huge legislative victory. it's his first major piece of business. it's a lot of political capitol on the line. and so the president has an opportunity to not only notch a victory, but go out to the american people and say, look, i'm delivering something for you during a crisis. and that should matter to you. and it is big in scope. it's also something that the progressive wing of his party is very excited about. yeah, there were some areas of compromise, but primarily, this includes a lot of things that progressives want to see government do. and wherever you're a president in position to directly deliver checks to the american people, talk about it, do a road

we'll be meeting with cnn political analyst david gregory. you're a man who loves theater and i love that about you. look, there are 1.9 trillion reasons to debate the economic relief package. have a real discussion, back and forth, make your argument. but what did ron johnson accomplish by demanding this 11-hour dramatic reading of a 628-page bill, other than the theater that you normally so love? >> yeah. it is a show. and that's all it is. it's a show. and st partly democrats being captive to having such a slim majority, right? but the real point is that ron johnson and others who think like him are playing to a smaller audience. that they hope will become a bigger audience of conservatives who say, look, this is not just covid relief, but this is liberal overreach. and that there's too much in this bill that goes beyond what is needed for covid. and they want to begin to make an argument that they'll make more next year about why congress has to return to republican hands. it's obviously difficult to make that argument in the face of need

joining us now is cnn political analyst david gregory and maeve rusten.t few days. first, one of the former governor -- one of governor's former aides came out and wrote an essay about he sexually harassed her. then a second. then this woman who never worked for the governor but just encountered him at a wedding. she was, i believe, in her late 20s at the time and he put his hands first on the small of her back, which -- >> bare back. >> her dress was low in the back. she removed his hand and then he seen here put his hands on her face and moved in for a kiss, she says. so, now an investigation by the state attorney general is being launched but these investigations take a long time. so are these -- the question is will something -- will some action happen before an investigation is complete? what do you think happens next? >> well, i think we're going to be looking certainly to see more from governor cuomo as we saw that apology that he put out over the weekend was very much in the space of if my actions were misinterpreted by these women, then i'm sorry

fifties, and an extraordinary choice, why did she choose to support the little known lab of doctor gregory pinkies, who was working on progesterone? and why did she encourage her rich friend catherine mccormack to do so as well? one of her personal life? two has been, many, many, many lovers, a style of mothering that would not earn her, i believe, the center fold in parents magazine. [laughs] [laughs] it is these questions that i sought to answer in this biography. of course, i doubt that saying, or who believed in the a cult, to some degree in spiritualism, would approve of what i have written. i believe this is a parenthesis sometimes that biographer's care more about what their subject would think about what they have written than they do their reading audience. i guess i shouldn't say that. in 1953, sanger wrote i hate all these biographies that go back and forth over your early years dragging out this and that and having nothing to do with your recent life. instead, as a pragmatic visionary, she believed in the future. as she once wrote and i think this is one of the important things

gregory marcus about how to avoid more weight gain. >> you know, it is important to emphasize that webably don't fully recognize how much physical activity we conform when we're not stuck at home or asked to stay at home when we just walk to the bus or when we walk up a flight of stairs to go to a meeting rather than just clicking on the next zoom link. so i have been emphasizing to my patients the importance of trying to build in physical activity into their daily routine. ideally creating it as a habit. something they know they're actually going to do. something ideally that's enjoyable, that's not too arduous. >> he also says try to cut out snacking. more tips tonight at 6:00. >>> the president and first lady hosted members of the u.s. women's national soccer league to mark equal payday. it symbolizes the extra number of days into the new year the average woman must work to match the annual pay of a man in the previous year. president biden vowed to narrow the pay gap as american women earn 82 cents on the dollar for the same work as men. megan ra pea know points out the women's na
