please we please welcome back to the show eugene jarecki.cheers and applause] congratulations, again, on the film. it's incredible. the drug war has cost america greatly. >> yes. >> jon: but on the flip side we have breaking bad. so would you say in some ways it's even. >> it's a wash. >> jon: it's a wash. did you know much about the effects of the drug war before you embarked on this film? >> i didn't know it was a drug war. what i saw was that black americans during my lifetime, black friends and families i knew were suffering. they weren't kind of getting the results of the civil rights movement i think a lot of us expected. something was blocking black progress. i wanted to know what it was. it was only over time that it has to do with how many black people are in jail. then why. i started to learn it was the drug war with us for 40 years now. it was putting black people away by controls and having a huge impact on that community. >> the easiest one that seems like for people to digest is the difference in sentencing between crack and co

eugene, michael, thank you both this afternoon. >>> next, mitt's other extreme makeover.o lies even matter in america these days? stay with us. >> governor romney showed up to deliver a performance, and he delivered a very good performance. it was completely unrooted in fact. it was completely unrooted in the positions he's taken before, and he spent 90 minutes trying to undo two years of campaigning on that stage, but he did it very well. >> are you saying that governor romney lied or was dishonest? >> yeah, i think he was dishonest, absolutely. i'm barack oba ma, and i approve i'm barack this message. oba these appliances could have been made here in america. but a company called global tech maximized profits by paying its workers next to nothing... under sweatshop conditions in china. when mitt romney led bain, they saw global tech as a good investment... even knowing that the firm promoted its practice of exploiting... low-wage labor to its investors. mitt romney - tough on china? since when? i'd like to thank eating right, whole grain, multigrain cheerios! mom, are t

the belvedere palace in vienna was built in 1721 for prince eugene of savoy, the general who led theustrians to their victory over the turks. the architect was lucas von hildebrandt. the belvedere actually consists of two palaces set at opposite ends of an enormous formal garden in which nature has been completely subdued. the design is based on a simple program. the two palaces and the garden present the visitor with an allegory of life's journey. at one end, where prince eugene lived, is the lower belvedere and its gardens representing the earth. at the other end, where visitors were received, the upper belvedere, are the heavens. at first, you think you can go directly to the palace, but you find that you cannot. the grand staircase in the center of the garden reveals itself to be a cascade, water. you must go to the left or to the right. the garden forces you to be in an allegory of the journey to eternity. the palace faces north, so there's always a shadow on its facade. like the heaven it represents, you can't read its features until you're very close. as you arrive at the entr

eugene robinson, jim frederic, michael smirconish and jonathan calagio. thank you very much. eugene, i want to start with the last moment of the night, the 47% came up and michael steele was on earlier saying that was an error on romney's part to go in and give the president this big moment. let's play what went down, the very last moment of the debate. >> i care about 100% of the american people. >> when he said behind closed doors that 47% of the country considered themselves victims, who refuse personal responsibility, think about who he was talking about. >> so you gene, i help hashtagging duh, duh, duh. that was the last impression and very different than last two weeks ago. >> i don't know why romney went there. i can understand him coming in to the debate figuring that the 47% thing would be raised and therefore he would be prepared to answer it as he's answered it in the nondebate setting. but to bring it up himself at the end where he doesn't get to respond, he opened the door and so president obama went right through it. >> michael, what if the president had forgott

an interesting moment, eugene. referring to a conversation we had senator john mccain about what you need to present to people during debate. we know yesterday you talked about this, which mitt romney will show up tonight? ab is talking about keeping the conservative base fired up or perhaps trying to go after the other people he would need to win here. let me play what bob said on "morning joe." >> i remember in the 1990s once asking john mccain is it possible and he asked -- actually asked the question is it possible to run for president and be true to yourself? he ran for president. a lot of people would say he wasn't true to himself. i asked him a couple of months ago, what's the answer to that question? and he said, i don't know. >> what do you make of that, eugene? even senator john mccain. we saw this. the guy was supposed to be the maverick. he was consumed by the sarah palin hurricane or whatever you choose to describe that event as being what we witnessed. but he did not know or does not know. >> well, th

eugene, you first. this poll shifting, this pickup by mitt romney, is this all a result of what happened last week in the debate? >> basically, yes. look, it seems to be significant enough shift that you have to figure there was some sort of pent up demand behind it. there must have been some percentage of people who were wondering -- who were waivering and who wondered if -- maybe didn't think mitt romney had it in him, and he proved to them, at least to their satisfaction during the debate, that he did. he kind of made himself eligible to be president for more people than he was eligible before. and that's a significant move in this race. >> joan, what's your calculation on what's unfolding here? liberals think the sky is falling. are they right to be worried at this point? >> they are right to be worried. we knew this was always going to be a close race. sadly, this country is really divided. not quite down the middle. i think our side has more, but it's very close. and i agree with gene. the mitt ro

eugene, we have grown up watching basically back and forth.ike and truman, it's been basically an eight-year thing. you get an eight-year run and people turn you out and try the other party. the republicans, this is my contention, have this almost, i don't mean it literally, monarchist notion, that somehow the executive belongs to them. >> they do like the executive, don't they? >> it's kind of part of what i call republican mythology that this is a center right country, therefore, someone from the center right or further right should be president of this country. now, i think that's silly on two grounds. number one, center is center, right, by definition. >> they're describing that 1950s. >> exactly. >> number two, i think while it's true more people say they're conservative an liberal, i think that's true ideologically but not operationally, not practically. practically, people, you know -- >> i'm with you. >> we want a society where we take care of each other. >> joy-ann, the old republican party supported civil rights. when you define libe

to eugene's point. how many times can you reintroduce yourself to voters, especially 36 days out now. >> i enjoyed eugene column. i like what brooks wrote in the "new york times" on the same theme. brooks wrote an opening statement for romney to deliver tomorrow night. it's mostly fantasy, but it's essentially, tamron, romney say, look, i'm not the idea log i've been running as. i needed to do this to get this far in the process. i think he's the massachusetts mitt and not the inkarn nation that sought the presidency. i'm surprised by the timing. i'm not surprised by the interviews you make reference to. i'm surprised it took that long to get there. the troops don't need more red meat. wild horses could not keep them away from voting against barack obama. he didn't spend enough time in the middle. >> let's bring chris in. he points out some of the vulnerabilities for the president during the debate tomorrow. they talk about the two-minute active ad where he references 100,000 new math and science teache
