>> a few that are important are the founding of certain types of eugenic institutions like the eugenic records office of cold spring harbor, that was founded in the early 1800s, the finding of eugenic society as well. there is also the passage of compulsory sterilization laws, which get a lot of coverage in the black press. there are really interesting conversations coming up about whether or not the practice of things like sterilization was beneficial to the collection of the race, and whether or not it will be a practice. >> who are some of the key names that are important to your study across history? >> some of them include what i would call the architects of the eugenics movement, people like charles davenport, who was the founder of the eugenics record office in bar harbor. there are lesser-known individuals as the first black physical anthropologist who uses a lot of his medical and anthropological knowledge to make arguments about what racial difference really does and does not do, and how things like eugenics can be used to mobilize those kinds of differences for a greater goo

because because we don't call it eugenics anymore, or a lot of people don't call it eugenics anymore. we tend we tend to think of these issues of reproduction and genetic reproduction as choice rather than what we saw in the first half of the 20th century. but i would argue the questions that were being asked in 1910 are some of the same questions we're using to talk things like cloning and designer babies and new technologies like crisper. those questions are still being mobilized in our conversations. so the ideas don't go away even if we use different names to talk about them. >> it sounding as though it's going to get more complicated because of technology. do you see that these questions and their ethical considerations around them are just going to get bigger and bigger for our society? >> i >> i think so. i think it's going to get more complicated, because there's still a large push in our society to think about things on genetic terms. we talk about certain ideas being in our dna. we often see articles in the news where it says we found the gene for this. there's a gene for --

michael cohen, as you watch eugene mccarthy, what is your reaction? >> eugene mccarthy had a tough relationship with the kennedys for some time, in part because he thought he should be the first catholic president, not john f. kennedy. he never really got over the way that bobby kennedy got in the race in 1968. the morning after the new hampshire primaries, kennedy says he is reassessing whether he will run and i think the feeling among mccarthy supporters was he had stolen the gifts under the christmas tree from mccarthy by stealing the thunder after that performance in new hampshire. the animosity between them grew as the campaign went on and kennedy was not a fan of mccarthy's either. he was a tough person to like. but also a thing that is interesting is he didn't like that kennedy was a very emotional kind of guy. he got his audiences revved up and excited and he didn't think that was appropriate for politics. he used to say that kennedy had all these outreach groups, to african-americans and hispanics and you thought that was not the way politici

i met eugene mccarthy once. it is in line to ship -- as in lined -- in line to shake his hand, he was talking to someone and did not seem to knowledge my existence. i thought this guide may or may not have fire in the belly but he needs to be more attentive to the here and now and the people working very hard. it was very difficult campaign because we had very little money. in regularpport democrats. when i approach democrats in a , and suggest lbj, one of the prominent lawyers stood up and said who are you? i had been in town and came here in 1965. thank you for the call. guest: that is a great story. book, iesearched my went through my papers and found oral histories of people who work on the campaign, people would sort of say, staffers involved in the campaign, that they did not like mccarthy on a tosonal level but found him the distance and not really engaged in the campaign and yet, .hey all revered him it is interesting about mccarthy. though he was again a very he waslt person, courageous and had he not d

kennedy. 42% for eugene mccarthy. and this ad from the 1968 democratic primary campaign by the rfk campaign. >> robert kennedy, and some people who aren't registered this year. in ten years, these americans will inherit the problems we don't solve today. >> it's suggested in the next several decades the people are going to have to start wearing gas masks in new york city because the air is becoming so polluted. 750 pounds of refuse you breathe every year and the same thing is true to a lesser degree in cities all across the united states. that will spread to the rural areas as well unless we stop it. there are things we can do about automobiles. there are laws we can pass about dumping and throwing refuse in lakes and streams and into the air. otherwise as secretary gardner says, we're all going to have to live underground. industry must do something and then individual citizens and then the demand, the interest that all of you might take in it i think that's what's going to make the difference in this country. >> neb

her father's candidacy, senator eugene mccarthy for march of 1968. let's watch. >> what is your reaction as a politician? can you take him? glaxo haven't been moved to withdraw and i think i can certainly win in wisconsin and i see no reason to win -- to believe i couldn't go on and win another primaries. >> does this cause you in any way to reassess your overall position? >> i don't think there has been any reassessment. i have been committed since i first announced to run in the primaries to which i have responded and i made those changes in my plans, either because of new hampshire or in consequence of the announcement of senator kennedy. i keep hearing intimations of a deal at some point in the future. are you prepared to deal with bobby kennedy? >> are not prepared to deal with anybody as far as my candidacy is concerned. i committed myself to a group of young people and i thought rather idealistic adults and i said i would be their candidate. i intend to run as i committed myself to run, in the situation develops a convention where i can't win,

. >> a reporter for "the washington post", eugene scott. want to start by asking about the significance of the reporting in "the times" today. you have followed international conferences like this before. i mentioned communiques are often hammered out in final stages while the conference is under way. what does it say to you about the effort to shield president trump from the secret talks? >> it is out of the norm for a president's top national security officials as well as their international affairs staffers to be working on such a significant agreement without his knowledge out of fear that he is going to destroy it himself. but i think what this act shows is that there is a pattern in place with this white house of top leaders wanting to put forward agenda items that are actually quite different from what the president himself has tweeted, and they are going to constantly reinforce that and try to communicate that to the american public afterwards to let them know that the tweets that come from the president are not as significant as we

lbj, eugene mccarthy, george romney and nelson rockefeller and george wallace. our guests are pat buchanan who worked on nixon's campaign in 1968, and barbara perry, presidential studies director at the university of virginia's miller center. first, president lyndon b. johnson in a televised oval office address when he surprised the nation with his announcement that he would not run for reelection. >>> on the last evening in march 1968, the stage was set. shortly before 9:00 p.m. washington time, in the midst of last minute electronic preparations, president johnson put the finishing touches on his address to the nation. finally, with the reassuring presence of his family seated nearby, the president was ready to deliver one of the most important speeches of his entire life. a speech that would alter the course of world history. >> good evening, my fellow americans. tonight i want to speak to you of peace in vietnam and southeast asia. no other question so preoccupies our people. no other dream so absorbs the 250 million human beings who live in that part of the

eugene robinson, your words hit me the hardest today. please elaborate on your thought, the language of white supremacy, that's what we got from the president's twitter feed this morning? >> that's exactly right. that's what it is. i'm sure you could find that kind of language on a white supremacist website. look how many more examples do we need? how much more proof do we need of donald trump's racial views? we see it time and time and time again. and it's ridiculous to look away from it. you know what? it's not a defense to say, well, he calls all women dogs. that doesn't make it better, okay? that makes it worse. and this is -- and we're talking about the president of the united states. that's what gets me, nicolle. you served in the white house. this is the west wing of the white house. this is the presidency of the united states. and this is the sort of person and the sort of people he has around him who now occupy what i always thought of as a very special place in our society. it's depressing. it's amazing, and it's just a continu

caitlyn huey-burns joins me now, political report for real clear politics, and eugene scott, political reporter for the "washington post." caitlyn, you know exactly what happened back in 2016. the president and his team's reaction to that meeting, what they have said since. how much has this up-ended that narrative, that story? >> just fundamentally, it has. remember, going back to when we -- when there was reporting about that trump tower meeting, that the president, you know, denied having a role in crafting that statement and turned out that he did. and in that statement, he said that the meeting was about russian adoptions. here it's very clear the president has just said that that meeting was to get dirt on an opponent. i think that is a very striking development in this. and remember, the trump tower meeting spe meeting specifically is so key to the overall time line in this russia investigation. and then especially against the backdrop of reporting that we saw last week that the president -- that robert mueller is assessing the president's tweets as part of this body of evidence

and sadly, there is a good chance eugene may be right. and you combine that, that speaks to the tone and tenor of our times with all this politics we're seeing. the question to you is, what are republicans really talking about in cloakrooms and restaurants and homes? >> right. what's interesting is that troy balderson, if he won, it would have been because of trump as eugene said. and if he lost it would have been because of trump. so as trump comes and rallies and his supporters love all that stuff about the disgusting fake news and everything he does, really all of that aggressive talk really riles them up and they enjoy it. so when you're in the house and you're looking to hold the house, and you're at the nrcc, the campaign committee, you're looking at the map, you think that's fine for donald trump to go to senate -- help senate republicans in states he won by landslide margins. he can't go to swing districts in the house if they risk losing, and they need to defend their majority. he is welcome in safe districts, but they aren't the

eugene, all yours. what are we witnessing? >> well, that is what we see. this is a white house full of the kind of people that tape conversations. private conversations with their colleagues and co-workers, including in the situation room. she taped the chief of staff of the white house, she taped the president and others. i have no doubt that she has other recordings. this is not the way that a white house is supposed to be. is supposed to behave. as ashley said, omarosa by herself just saying that x-happened, she has zero credibility. she has little credibility as president trump in that situation, but when sheep has documentary proof, and she has recordings and documents, those stand up. and if she is writing a playbook on how to attack donald trump, and how to get under his skin playing by his rules. >> mike, lawrence o'donnell tonight highlighted the obvious and then set it apart by underscoring that we have never in the history of the republic had a senior aide come public to expose the president using recordings taken in the white house. lawrence's

associate editor for the "washington post" and msnbc political analyst eugene robinson and nbc news capitol hill correspondent and host of "kasie dc" on msnbc, the great, the powerful, the very well connected kasie hunt good to have you all on the show this morning. so frame the morning. it's the last day of the summer. the new reports yesterday, of course, pressure mounting all around the president. people shocked at just how much pressure this president is under. the russia probe, the midterm elections, his legal team in limbo and now after hastening the exit of his top white house lawyer in a tweet, there is new reporting that donald trump is shockingly, woefully, ill-prepared for the constitutional crisis engulfing his presidency. it is crisis that could very well lead him down the panel to impeachment. many say it absolutely will.

i want to bring in eugene scott.d morning to you. >> good morning. >> we read your piece this morning on "the washington post" on melania trump's, be best campaign event. while the first lady talked about cyber bullying here, and even when she first announced that would be her initiative, the president -- all you have to do is read his tweets attacking government officials, other people also. are we ever going to see a point where he will start taking his wife's initiative to heart? >> as of now it doesn't seem like it. within an hour of the first lady's speech the president attacked at least three people in the way that he normally does, giving them nicknames or calling them things like a political hack or a total joke. the reality is melania trump currently has the highest favorability ratings in the trump white house, but some are getting frustrated because they can't tell if she is as committed to the cyber bullying effort as she says she is when her whole household seems to be moving in a different direction. >>

i am joined by ashley parker, eugene scott. thanks to all of you for being with us. ashley, let me start on the question of the president, this is not the first time we have seen this choosing to go on twitter and choosing to rile everybody up. there is that new policy, that dispute. there is kneeling again taking place. he is choosing to respond to it. take us, in terms through what it sees as its political arsenal, where does the white house see this issue of kneeling? >> in a little bit, you have to separate the president from the white house. on the one hand he is reactive and responding to something he saw with the nfl players again as the season starts up. this is something he has talked to aides and confidants about. he thinks these fights, cultural wedge issues, especially taking on the nfl, mentioning the nfl players by name. he thinks this is a good fight for him. he thinks this is something he could win. he enjoyed wading into. he is choosing and it is intentional. he believes this is a political upside. >> eugene, if this is something that trump looks at

eugene, what's happening in the republican party?such a moving target that if i ask you on monday, your answer could perhaps be different? >> oh, totally, totally. >> i'll wait and ask you. >> so, but here we are on wednesday, and we just had some elections yesterday. so you can say the republican party is looking at some substantial losses in the midterm election. they're looking down that barrel. >> as in no more speaker ryan? >> certainly could be. and i think you'd say that's likely now. like i will only lasts for a couple of days in this era, apparently. but right now you'd have to say that's likely. you know, democrats have to close the deal, right? they have an edge on in enthusiasm. you saw that again last night. clearly, they have made a whole lot of what should be safe republican districts competitive. but they got to close the deal. and one they can fail to do that is being complacent about last night's results. donald trump went to that district in ohio, and it looks like he might have brought the republican balderson acr

somebody you've written critically about donald trump, what eugene is saying there. do you see in those comments from desantis today some of the worst instincts of trumpism? how do you interpret it? >> i really don't. i see him as trying and then bungling a bit and what was really pretty standard campaign rhetoric. my opponent is a formidable opponent, you know, he did well in the debates, he's not my cup of tea, but his ideas are bad for florida. i mean, it's really -- you know, except for that word, very normal campaign rhetoric. i do not think, if you look at desantis' record, and you compare it, say, with trump's record, that you're -- you can make any kind of comparison there at all. with donald trump, there is a whole history and a background that says, look, when donald trump uses a word, there's not a benefit of the doubt there. desantis is a different guy. in context here, i think it was very clear he was praising his opponent's campaigning skills and saying his ideas were bad for the state. that's normal politics. that's acceptable politics. >> michelle? >>

as i just told you, eugene debs gave the speech and this is a picture of debs in canton ohio. judge wells is here, a federal court judge. she took me through a tour of her chambers in the old courthouse, which is now the metro bond building, to tell me about how eugene debs was tried in this courtroom back in 1970. she brought all the files from the jury instructions and so forth. debs gave his own closing statement and gave a statement to the judge as he was being sentenced. he said it is a great, wonderful statement. i'm not going to get it exactly right but, as long as there is a lower class, i am part of it . as long as there is a criminal element, i am of it. as long as there is a person in prison, i am not free. it is remarkable stuff. he was a great leader and he ran for president or times, -- four times, including from prison in atlanta in 1920. he got almost a million votes. he was very instrumental. he was a socialist candidate. he was instrumental -- how the socialist word is misused these days. in any event, he was a great person. harding recognized this and that i

probe along with over one million others as we take this adventure together and in the words of dr eugene parker let's see what lies ahead let's see the lies ahead but we know what ended right now all that is or show has to remember everyone in this world we are not told we are above the love so i tell you all i love you i am i robot and on top of the people are watching those hawks another great day and i. me me me me me me me me me that's a very rough terrain of sorts rough climates and you have to win fights to be able to live in a flat. it was gunshots on top of them and it's all very fresh it would have been going at any one of many and you did not i. don't think anything will back up for me you know i don't want to see it but of what is in the children is ready to participate in the good is both to me a good wouldn't. you don't think about these three of these so good on no you got three teams like any other and other patients. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to

eugene robinson and bill kristol. gentlemen, thank you. have we not arranged for you to come on, we would be scrambling to ask you to come on. bad day for donald trump. i think, at the end of it, a bad day for our country, too. >> i guess, you know, i mean, you don't like to see the president's -- a situation where the campaign chairman and personal lawyer have plead guilty or been found guilty of felony crimes. it's pretty astounding. >> how do you think it has changed the trajectory of what we're looking at? what do you think we're looking at? >> i think it's a reminder that robert mueller knows a lot. think about the implications of the matter for trial coming up. what manafort, if he chooses to cooperate, could talk about. and cohen, especially. he may not be cooperating yet but if he chooses to cooperate, the amount he would know about not just the particular crimes, which he plead guilty and seems to be i implicated president trump in but as lanny davis, the other things that cohen could talk about. >> day-to-day stuff. >> i think it

my panel, eugene, sarah and howard. quick programming note. omarosa manigault newman will be on hardball with chris mathews. i have a feeling they'll talk about the book. they're going to be talking about the cohen plea deal. she has a lot to say about michael cohen. they're very close. that's all coming up at 7:00 eastern here on msnbc. the breaking news coverage continues right now on the beat. it it's ali velshi in for ari. >> great to see you. see you soon. i'm ali velshi in for ari melber. one directly implicated president trump himself in criminal wrongdoing. today the jury in the manafort trial delivered eight guilty counts and deadlocked on the other ten, but it's the michael cohen case that's shaking the political and legal worlds ni

eugene, i'll start with you. we had the discussion about omarosa and her credibility roughly 24 hours ago, whether or not she is a credible source. this is a president already facing serious questions about how he handled issues on race relations in this country. >> absolutely. omarosa has credibility issues, she believes she was hired by the campaign to reach out to the african-american community. when asked if she thought trump could be the leader to improve the quality of life of black americans, omarosa said, no. she pointed to her own story, her relationships and success under the trump brand, and used that as proof that he really could make america great again for black people. the idea that she could have heard him say offensive language repeatedly and continue to tell black voters to get behind this trump campaign, it is why she already had credibility issues with black voters. this isn't likely to change anything, now that she may be coming clean, letting meme know what they already thought about donald

i didn't, either. >> robert perry, let's go back to the announcement of eugene mccarthy to enter the democratic race. who was he and why was his voice to important in the '68 campaign? >> gene mccarthy was the senator from the midwest. he had been a professor of sociology. he was very cool, some said aloof. he entered the race as the peace candidate. he was an anti-war candidate, and immediately got a coterie of students to support him. some of them who might have been in the hippy realm shaved their beard and grew their hair and called themselves clean for queen. certainly if you put the personality of gene mccarthy next to lyndon johnson, and they thought they would be running to get the nomination against the incumbent president, you couldn't have found two more different personalities. but he was definitely the peace candidate, the anti-war candidate going into new hampshire. he came within 76 points of the incumbent which is the reason johnson dropped out. >> johnson's name was not on the ballot. he won the race with 49% as a write-in. later on it was discovered that the hard li

both these gentlemen will stay with us. >>> we are back with eugene robinson and bill kristol.ll kristol, there's this member of congress named duncan hunter out in california, same as his father's name, who was a member of congress. duncan hunter is known to the kids as the vaping congressman who famously vaped during a hearing. there he is. he's now been indicted, he and his wife have an appearance tomorrow morning for misuse of campaign funds. here's why it's important. he was the second member of congress to support donald trump, the first was chris collins of upstate new york. he of indictment fame. what's going on here? >> collins who conducted insider trading from the white house picnic from the white house lawn. >> yes. >> i don't know what's going on. what's going on is what we see. i do think in either a republican primary in 2020 against donald trump or maybe a republican open field if trump's no longer president and on the democratic side the market for a serious reformer who says you know, what i understand why some people went for trump, they did want to clean thi

i am joined by my deputy director eugene hillsman, he is right behind me. he will also be presenting on components of the equity program as well. last time i was here was before we had, in place, a final regulatory structure. it was less than a year ago. since then, the city has issued an equity report that was done by my office in collaboration with the human rights commission in the controllers office. supervisor cohen led the charge in implementing or incrafting an equity program incorporated into the regular la tosh regulatory . so before we get into the over all request, i wanted to familiarize you all with that program so you can better understand the program and the population that we're targeting with this request. so just starting at the very beginning, looking at what supervisor cohen put in article 16 of the police code. this is a requirement to do an equity program. you will recall when i brought this before you before the equity program was established, there was a plate holder for this program. it acknowledged would we put in place a program,

eugene robinson is here, eugene, what is so striking also, i was talking to jeff flake about this earlieris choice for the -- among the eulogists, two people who broke his heart, denying him the opportunity to be president. george w. bush, that very difficult south carolina race, you're a south carolinian, the race was a bitter issue then, and they made their peace in ensuing years, including his support for the iraq surge, and getting the president to agree to that. and then of course barack obama, and again, the mccain concession speech in 2008 is one of the great political speeches of our time, of any time in terms of grace and mobility. >> mm-hmm, right. and so these were two men who were important to john mccain, not necessarily in what looked like a positive way at first. but as usual, he's making a point. he's making a point by having these two men speak at his funeral and it is a point about our political system of the way it works and supposed to work. it is also by the way it does not work now or it is not working now. because george w. bush and barack obama can share a stage an

eugene, i want to start with what the aclu is tweeting in response to the president's tweets. me read it to you, they say, nfl players have continuously defined what they're protesting, white supremacy, police brutality and racial injustice. you're not listening. what do you make of the president's tweets? is the aclu right? >> i do believe the aclu is right. look, keep in mind that president trump created this, quote, issue. and i call it a "quote issue" over the nfl protests because they were noticed before he started tweeting and talking about them in the way that he did, but they were not some huge national issue. he uses the protests by african-american athletes, african-american men, as a wedge issue. and he drives a wedge. to switch to another metaphor, we're way past the dog whistle things and we're into, you know, train horns and blazing signs at this point. >> evan, pick up there, because you've been tracking really the rise in hate groups all across the country. some said, look, we do feel emboldened after president trump was elected. have you seen that increase, or

i have a federal judge who sits in the courtroom where eugene debs was tried. debs, who wasgene put in prison by woodrow wilson for speaking out against the draft in the war in canton, ohio. he got a 10 year sentence for saying i believe this is a capitalist war. do we have a first amendment or do we not have a first amendment? warren harding was the guy who pardoned him. nobody remembers that. it was important as labor was in great strife around the world. you all know what happened to germany after the first world war. chaos. russia, chaos. the united states was stable. warren harding was a big part of that picture. keep in mind the debs and we will come back to that. warren harding went to birmingham, alabama and made a civil rights speech that would put people to shame today. does anybody know that here? does everyone here know the term teapot dome? yes. nobody remembers he went to birmingham, alabama. ,e goes to birmingham, alabama 100,000 people gather. the firstt pet -- president to go to the deep south since the civil war. his speeches democracy is a li

i got to know eugene mccarthy, the late democratic senator. used to describe the process as a group of birds sitting on a telephone wire. one would fly off and then they'd all fly off. that's what this narrative i think is all about. the president knew exactly what was going to be said at that press briefing on thursday. he's the one who directed it be held. it came as a result of a national security council meeting we held the friday before were the heads of the operating agencies who attended on thursday and others, told the president what we were doing. he thought it was important the american people heard directly from the people responsible for election security at the federal level. in a nonclassified environment. >>chris: they are saying, this is a clear and present danger, that russia did it in 2016 and are continuing to do it now. you have the secretary of homeland security with her hair on fire think democracy is in the crosshairs and you have president trump think you're being hindered by the russian hoax. that is not the press maki

eugene. >> well, start with truth isn't trut which mayor giuliani just said an extraordinary thg.ust throws more logs on to the fire of this administration's truthfulness and candor, or lac it's an amazing thing. it's the new alternative facts. that was extraordinary. the other thing is john brennan, i'll say one thing and i know we'll get into other aspects of the brennan interview. it's not -- the president has the right to cancel these security clearances, but he doesn't necessarily have the right to do it for the wrong reasons. there are thousands of people in washington that have security clearances. it cannot be the case that the only ones who deserve to have theirs scrutinized and taken away are vocal public opponents of donald j. trump. so if you do something you hige a legal to do, but if you do it for vindictive reasons, political rsons, you know, that may not fly. >> i think john brennan conceded the conspiracy is off the table. rudy seized on that. when he does this, he jus wants to talk to chuck todd about the fact that john brennan just took nspiracy off the table. y
