abortion is not eugenics. abortion restrictions are more akin to eugenics. thank you. chair nadler: thank you very much. >> i am curious what the purpose of today's hearing is. we're talking about a state law that is currently under review by the supreme oort, and the supreme court will decide if the law is constitutional, and only the supreme court. we are here with a texas law in front of us. it is saving the lives of unborn babies. women's babies deserve better than being told their only action is abortion. many pro-life groups and individuals across the country reach out to pregnant women to help. abortion does not help women. after saying that, i have a couple of questions. ms. foster, first of all thank you for being here. i appreciate the time you took in sharing the information with us. in your experience, is it accurate to characterize elective abortion as health care? ms. foster: it is not. rep. fischbach: [indiscernible] ms. foster: absolutely not. rep. fischbach: the people of texas chose to protect unborn babies when a beating heart can be detected. how ea

so this to me, this is what eugene is talking about.nd, that i saw agree with the point of owning it. and we saw the obama administration when obamacare came out struggling with the weather to own, it would to name, but when something is passed, and peoples lives are improved for the better, own. we know that once policies are passed, people are going to like the benefits that they get. that is why you fight so hard not to policy change, because you know that once happens, it's sticky. so get it passed, it's not going to be pretty, it's not going to be easy as we heard earlier, but once it is passed, it can absolutely go big. >> mark mckinnon, indeed. just to the predecessors voice the republicans in many cases, let's be honest with help from guys like frank who have figured out using a combination of pulling focus groups and marketing skills, want to name things. who is going to hate no child left behind? you might as well he'd puppies. i think it was a texan army who was the first one to call democrat things, democrats, because it was

the comparison is an app abortion is not eugenics abortion restrictions are more akin to eugenics, thank. >> thank you very much. >> thank you mr. chair. i am just a bit curious what the purpose of today's hearing is. or talk to him in a state law that is currently under review by the supreme court and the supreme court will decide if the law is constitutional and only the supreme court. not the house judiciary committee. that being said, we are here with a texas state law in front of his. it is currently an effective saving lives. it is saving the lives of unborn babies. women and babies deserve better than being told their only option is abortion. many pro-life groups and individuals around the country reach out to pregnant women to help with the support, diapers, housing, love. abortion does not help. after saying that i have a couple of questions. first of all thank you for being here i appreciate the time you took and sharing information with us. new experience is it accurate to have elective abortion in healthcare? >> it is not very. >> thank you present term act accurately reflect

author of the early morning newsletter and eugene robinson, good evening and welcome to you all. i have some idea how tired everybody is. susan, it was a tough tuesday night for democrats. what is worse, the losses they suffered last night and the near misses or failing to learn lessons from last night? >> well, we will find out. the good news for democrats is they got this now. not six months from now. not a year from now in the midterm elections. not just in virginia. we have come to realize that the governor race would be close. they lost up and down the ballot in virginia. they almost lost new jersey. new jersey is about as true blue of a state these days as you can find. democrats do have lessons and democrats were drawing different lessons from that tough election night about what it is they better do. >> eugene, is there a singular lesson to you that emerged from last night? >> i don't think we know yet, brian. i think political power can be fleeting. i think that is a lesson that should have been learned and democrats have the power now. democrats if they are going to use

eugene, the national employment rate is at 4.6%. the unemployment rate for african-americans is 7.9%. almost 8%. for hispanics, 5.9%, 6%. a potential 10% rent increase along with a 60% increase in gas prices will hit these groups really hard. is the white house looking at the entire country when trying to figure out how to deal with these uses? >> no, they are. they are constantly talking about equity, as an important aspect of every single thing that they do, right? but when you talk to black voters, black activists, and latino voters, latino activists, they're saying they don't feel that. and that is at the core of a lot of what's happening with this administration right now, is that they have a lot that they could be running on and talking about. they have this higher, the overall unemployment going down, unemployment going down, you have this infrastructure bill that they say is going to provide a lot of jobs. numbers going up on jobs overall in this country. but people aren't feeling that, because what they're seeing is inflati

this is work of our mutual friend, eugene robinson.hile go big or go home may be a cliche, it is advice biden and the democrats should heed. once democrats pass biden's big bills, they should sell them to voters, trumpeting what's in the legislation rather than lamenting what had to be left out. and they should rediscover their lost genius for bumper-sticker shorthand. new deal and great society are masterpieces of the genre. build back better, not so much. professor, considering you work at a campus, the kind of beating hard of which is the seat of the great society, the monument to linden b. johnson of texas, do you agree with eugene's sentiment there? >> i absolutely agree. this goes back to a course i've taught in the past, which is political marketing. at the end of the day, we know some of the most powerful policy has been powerful because it got passed. it was packaged correctly. and you can have the smartest folks putting together the best packages, but if the politics doesn't work out, nothing is going to happen. and so this i

eugene robinson talked about good old boy justice. that's exactly what her former employee was seeking. and any prosecutor who sees that video, who understands the facts knows that at a bare minimum here, an investigation was warranted and this was not a case to dismismiss before that work was done. >> is it important that people see the factual history that today's trial and verdict was never supposed to happen according to the people in power initially? >> for sure. with always say the truth is so radical. people need to see this video. people needed to hear the testimony today. people needed to see all of this. if they have not seen the video, people are not pressed and retweeted it, we wouldn't be here today. and like they said, it is so rare for a prosecutor to be terminated or vying for their actions. it's almost never happens at the actual da or prosecutor has any criminal liability. this is a big deal. i'm interested to see what this will do around the country. people talk about police actively killing somebody on duty, but it

of the american enterprise institute, nbc news capitol hill correspondent leigh ann caldwell and eugene scott of "the washington post." welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> and a good sunday morning. so just when democrats thought it was safe to brag about the economy after that healthy jobs report in october, the passage finally of the popular bipartisan infrastructure bill, along came word that influgs surged 6.2% in october, the largest increase in 31 years. not only could the inflation spike make it harder for democrats to pass their $1.75 trillion social spending bill, as joe manchin has been hinting at, but it also calls into question whether the brags has a handle on this problem after insisting, frankly, for months that inflation would likely be moderating by now. it obviously is not. just when republicans, by the way, thought it was going to be safe to look forward to a united party heading into the 2022 midterms after their successes in 2021 last

those are very real things they're facing, eugene.he president's approval rating. and we should say that poll was taken before the deal, so we'll see what the approval rating is after the deal. but in that suffolk university/"usa today" poll, it highlighted another concern for democrats. if the midterm elections were held today, 46% of republicans said they would vote for the republican on the ballot versus a generic democrat. given how close things were in new jersey, are we seeing a republican resurgence? does it speak to your points of democrats better figure out the messaging? what should be their takeaway from that poll? >> i mean, their biggest takeaway, first of all, should be that history repeats itself in midterms, over and over and over again. we've seen this happen, where the party that has the white house in the first four years of an administration, it flips. there's typically a flip in the house and the senate sometimes. so i think that history is already there for them, that they have to battle against. that's something

has more on that from begging present. eugene pain has not traveled since the beginning of the crone of ours outbreak earlier last year, but that's damp and a lot of herbs that china will make further.

the last couple days and the last several weeks semis have traded well and we industrial, mobile eugenew are you dealing with the semi space any favorites? >> yes i like intel which is a completely different than you will hear. we own nvidia but intel is so cheap. they had a poor earnings report but if i invest in a three to five-year window we think they'll do better. certainly if i left all the money in nvidia we would have done better but always looking at growth at a reasonable price and intel fits that bill quite well. >> that is an interesting call given another bad earnings reaction let's get to chegg frank? >> down 20% after a miss on the top line and eps in line with estimates. the big number to watch is the subscriber number. below the estimates of 4.86 million and weak guidance. full year revenue guidance below th21% right now after a miss on the top line eps in line. also weak guidance for the full year back to you. >> on a rare miss there especially on the outlook for chegg. thank you. tomorrow we'll talk to the chegg ceo about the results. one question always is how much d

jonathan allen, senior reporter for nbc news, digital, eugene back with me.len, tell me what you make of this tonight? >> it's a big night for republicans and a bad night for democrats. the way you slice it, where joe biden and democrats were in 2020, you're seeing recession. and glenn youngkin, if donald trump doesn't run for president, you'll see him immediately watching for that top tier of potential republican candidates. he's created a model to run on a trump-like agenda. and -- >> jonathan alter, this new model that john allen was just talking about, you identified it earlier as this model in which people who dislike donald trump and what donald trump stands for, glenn youngkin created a model in which it would be palatable for those people to go back and vote for republican. it's not really clear where glenn youngkin stands on a bunch of things because he seems to straddle some lines on traditional and conservative values compared to what trump followers like. he struggled with it during the campaign. donald trump wants to stick himself to youngkin. an

eugene daniels is here, politico white house reporter. joyce, i want to start with you. with the question about an investigation. i mean, the investigation now has some public facing evidence of where it is focused and this list seems to be on the witnesses to donald trump's conduct. is that how you see it? >> that's exactly how i see it. you can tell a lot about where an investigation is headed from the witnesses that are being called. these are people who were literally in trump's inner circle, but also the folks that he talked to leading up to january 6th. so nicolle, if the key question in watergate was what did the president know and when, the january 6 committee is going to ask those questions, but they're also intent on cutting straight to the chase in figuring out what did the president and what was he willing to do to get it. >> i think it's clear there's a whole lot of focus on two aspects of donald trump's conduct. i worked in the white house. i know what these positions are. nicholas luna served as the former president's personal assistance, was in the office

this is the end result of that. >> eugene, let's circle back.s they were saying they were worried about supply chain issues. it's surged to the forefront in these recent weeks and threatens to become the dominant political story. we heard those concerns from senator manchin. right now, these worries about inflation, how many affect democrats' efforts to get a vote on the president's build back better package? are there going to be others who express a note of caution proceeding about putting more federal money into the system? >> no, i think so. manchin is usually never the only person who feels a certain way when he's talking, right? he's usually got the proxy for other conservative moderate democrats. this -- you're right though. the white house had not wanted to talk about inflation. we were in the -- in those briefing rooms begging them to talk about it, and they kind of -- you know, sometimes they would say don't worry about it, it's going to go away soon. that doesn't speak to what the -- the anxiety that people actually have when they see

jonathan alter in eugene daniels are back with, us thank you all for being with.t you make of this tonight. >> it's a big night for republicans in a bad night for democrats, anyway you slice it. joe biden and the democrats were in 2020, there's a recession, he's been waiting for glenn youngkin donald trump doesn't run for president, you would see him immediately launched into the potential candidate, he's created a model for republicans to run, on a trump lake agenda. but certainly -- democrats to have to [inaudible] >> jonathan alter, this new model that john allen is just talking, about you identified it earlier, as this model in which people who dislike donald trump and what donald trump stands for, glenn youngkin created a model in which it would be good for those people to go back and vote for a republican. it's not really clear where glenn youngkin stands on a bunch of things. because he keeps his straddled to the line on traditional republican values. or conservative values, compared to trump followers like. but he really, he struggled with this during the

>> i will just give the amen to what eugene said. look, here's the deal.start running on what's going to help them win. the best way to treat the issue of rates is for democrats to stay in power, to keep control of the government so they can issue laws that protect against this white supremacist strain we continually see happening in the republican party. but it is a high wire act. you can easily fall over. if you make that the centerpiece of the campaign you get away from what the focus, it's about winning, do what it toiks to rinne. >> thank you both for ginning us. >>> after the break, just one day vaccines were made available for kids aged 5-11, disinformation already beginning to swirl. it is feeding to parents' vaccine hesitancy. how to separate the fact from the fiction. that's next. ction. that's next.

eugene, i wonder if you want to join in on this part of the conversation. >> do i. i'm reflecting on the fact that, first of all, everybody knows what the powell doctrine is. and who gets to have a doctrine? that gives you a sense of what -- of how important he really was and what a major figure he was. it was -- i think the funeral also, as you saw all those political leaders from different parties, none of whom spoke, it gave you a sense of a washington that at least we like to imagine once was, and again could be, a washington in which people disagree and sometimes disagree forcefully without being disagreeable. and that's certainly something general powell could do as jake jacobs said. he didn't suffer foolishness gladly. and i remember, you know, once having -- it wasn't a heated discussion, it was, you know, a robust discussion with him in which we disagreed on politics. and at the end, when we sort of agreed that we would disagree, he turned to me and said, so, we good? that's something he always did, at the end, he wanted to know, yes, we had this disagreeme
