these were people that actually wrote about supporting the eugenics movement and what eugenics meant. helen keller of all people. so in 1927, we had this famous case called buck v. bell in virginia. the justice who wrote the opinion was oliver wendell holmes. famous, wounded three times in the civil war. he is now justice oliver wendell holmes. and let me -- here's what he said. he said, quote, it is better for all the world if society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind three generations of imbeciles are enough. the imbeciles and the manifestly unfit he referred to was carrie buck, her infant daughter vivian, and carrie bucks, single mother. human factors. here's the story behind it. carrie buck was born to a single mother in poverty charlotteville, virginia. she had sparse education, if any. at some time around the age of 15 her mother farmed her out to a family to be a domestic. so carrie buck becomes a domestic for a family in charlott charlottesville. almost like a slave. a nephew of this family rapes carrie buck. on more than one occasion. she b

sergeant eugene weare from hazelton, pennsylvania was one of the marines.ugene raced straight into a barrage of enemy fire like no one has ever seen before. to bandage his friend's wounds and carry him back to safety. months later, eugene was mortally wounded, he passed away one day after christmas. his mother would come right here to mourn by the grave of her precious son. she loved him so much. she was one of the thousands of american mom's and dad to 11 the end of their lives on the hillside. each of these marble statues marks the life of an american warrior. great warriors they are. they gave everything for a family, country, god, and freedom. through rain, hail, snow, mud, poisonous gas, bullets and mortar. they pushed onward to victory. a great, great victory. a costly victory but a great victory. never knowing if they would ever again see their families or ever again hold their loved ones. here are the words of a young soldier named sergeant paul maynard from a letter he wrote only a few days before the end of the war. dear mother, i think of you and

back with us tonight philip rucker, tamara keith, michael steele and eugene robinson.hat has it been like to just observe this michael cohen go from the guy who would take a bullet for donald trump to the way he exists now, which is as an enormous threat on a daily basis to the trump presidency? >> well, if michael cohen had known what michael cohen was going to do all those many months later, it is a remarkable turnaround that cohen made, but you know, from what he has said, he is looking out for himself. he's looking out for his family, and he's trying to repair reputational damage that maybe someday after all of this is over he might recover. but it is truly, truly remarkable to watch what has happened with cohen and the potential threat that he poses, his cooperation, his willingness to go in that courtroom in new york and say more than was in the charging papers and really implicate his former boss, president trump in these campaign finance violations. >> michael steele, you're the lawyer around here. this is all about if only we'd known. when you heard what cohen

and eugene robinson, pulitzer prize winning columnist for "the washington post." good evening, welcome to you all. phil rucker, we all witnessed then-candidate donald trump's closing argument in the campaign, that the election of hillary clinton would leave us as a country kind of enshrouded in investigations and scandal and controversy. how do we get from that, the campaign closing argument, to that scene with trump and putin in helsinki? >> well, we have exactly what trump predicted would happen to the country, only with a different president, because his presidency has become basically covered in scandal. there is a new one at every turn. you now have the special counsel investigating the russia situation and it's not only investigating russia's ties with the trump campaign, with trump associates, any efforts at what the president says didn't happen, which is collusion. but you also have the investigation into the president's moves to obstruct justice. his dictating that statement aboard air force one that was a false statement, a lie, issued under the name of

still with us, eugene robinson and bill kristol.are your hopes for bipartisanship of all things in these next two years? >> not terribly high. there are some issues on which real progress could be made. we see prison reform. it would have been nice if they'd had some democrats at the announcement. but in fact it was -- the legislation was being pushed by democrats and worked on by democrats and republicans. great thing. sentencing reform is something that there's bipartisan support for. of course infrastructure. there are several things that could happen. but what does this president do? what is donald trump is going to be able to resist doing the one thing he does really well in politics and that's driving wedges and so i don't see him embracing democrats and singing for two years. >> bill, let's turn to congress. we heard jeff flake today. we've seen him for moderates and democrats, he has been more of a break on the power of donald trump than actual. come the new senate, are you looking to mitt romney who would have a very wide a

joining us now our eugene robinson and he's an msnbc political analyst, and harry litman, former u.s. attorney and deputy assistant attorney general under presidents clinton. harry, you're at a disadvantage in the box but i'm going to ask you about what rudy giuliani said about these questions that donald trump said he answered all by himself. he said some create more issues for us legally than others, and this is the interesting part, he said some are possible traps. is it possible for a lawyer to look at a question and determine it's a trap, and if the client intends to answer truthfully, how could it be a perjury trap? >> right. so first i think it is. i think you can sort of see if you have any sophistication about the matter where mueller might be going. but you're right on the second point. perjury trap here is the sort of slogan they've advanced repeatedly. the other way that you could call it would be a request for honest information. so i think they perceive if he answers it truthfully that he could be in a legal sticky situation. that's not a perjury trap, but it does call f

eugene, what are you working on?was actually in florida yesterday talking to a lot of people about the governor's race post-gillum. there's real concern about voter suppression in rural areas of the state that may have happened in this past election, and they're looking into maybe launching some investigations to see what could be done to prevent that from happening. >> and betsy you're looking at something with i.c.e. >> we obtained a copy of an independent autopsy yesterday that was conducted on a trans woman named roxanna hernandez who died after trying to migrate to the united states. the autopsy whose results i dispute, indicates that hernandez was beaten before she died in i.c.e. custody. of course the agency itself says that's not correct, but it highlights the extent to which there's growing concern about the way that migrants who come to the united states are treated after their detention. >> betsy woodruff, important reporting, thank you. eugene thank you for joining us. always a pleasure to have you both.

i do want to get you first, eugene, on this. the president continues to drag us farther and farther down. this is just one of many times where we've -- the rhetoric has just been lower. there's nobody that he will not pick a fight with either a war veteran, a gold star family, a political opponent, a journalist, a regular american, a fire marshal, supreme court justice. >> indeed, i think we see a president who deals in sides. you are either on his side or you're not. and if you are even in his party or even of his political leanings, but disagree with him on one single thing, you are at jeopardy of having him attack you and attack you publicly. no matter whether he's actually right or wrong, and he does that because he knows that he has so many americans who will vouch for him. the base, very often congress, and quite frankly in this situation, some more conservative members of the legal community. the question you asked earlier i thought was spot on. the reality is many people backed trump because they thought he would appoint

pbs just had a special called the eugenic crusades which i recommend to everybody, eugenics is a movement going on in the united states in the 20th century about improving the race. of course we think the [ null ] and all of that but no, progressives, leadership of this eugenics movement ended up being used against the poor, the black and the browns and one of the people who supported eugenics was -- who was lorded -- lauded in the african- american community for social justice . >> i didn't know that . >> he was one of the leaders, part of what you are implying is you have to understand the context in which people are operating, during the early 20th century, the progressives were saying, we need to improve the human race, and most people saw themselves as being progressive and went along with it. we need to think hard and long, even in this context because a lot of people said we need to get together with the progressives but you need to be careful with that. with theologians, what you and others can do for muslims that are involved in the emotional fray, step back for a moment and see

. >> yours works. , i agree with eugene descriptively but not normatively. there is this remarkable line where justice kennedy is pushing back against the lochner argument. famouses holmes' dissent. herbert spencer wrote a book called "social status" which we would now call libertarian. kennedy quotes it. "the constitution does not act herbert spencer's "social status," it does the first amendment." it's a good line. when i see a good line i mean it is a good turn of phrase. i don't think it is a good line for justice kennedy to draw on for two basic reasons. it relies on a sharp distinction between enumerated and unenumerated rights which justice kennedy generally rejected. he was not somebody who fought -- who thought subsidy to due process only incorporates the bill of rights. we had a panel on his expansive idea of on enumerated rights. he can't rely on the fact there is an explicit enumeration of free speech rights and he thinks there are other rights that are not enumerated. second -- that's a problem for justice kennedy. second, the meaning of the rol

i think the rise of the eugenics movement is a more important shift. this story has been narrated by political science approaches that collapse the development of eugenics as a full-scale popular movement in the united states. its origins are in great britain. --n johnson becomes head important on the house committee of immigration, he hires a preeminent eugenicist and that u.s.. there is nothing like that before 1919. i think that is a real turning point. >> thank you. let's open it up for comments and questions. if you could please wait for the microphone. we are being covered by c-span so it is important to use the microphone. you.ank it is wonderful to see you and the book and know that it is coming out. as i recall when you were first here, you had trouble getting your hands on the part or all the volumes. i wonder where you found it? second, i noticed in the picture of the commission there are no women. that have the employees who were women were at a lower level. i wonder if you detect any influence from them? it seems like they were trained a s

>> eugene, what would you ask? >> i would ask the same question. i might ask it a little differently. a little bit more provocative and say, mr. president, you got your butt kicked by nancy pelosi last night, and just to see how he would react. >> and doug, if you were in the room, and you could ask a question, what would you ask? >> are you finally going to turn over your tax returns. >> funny that doug should mention that, because we heard from eric swalle low on the "today" show, who is a congressman who is a rising star and he all but promised that americans were going to see this president's tax return, and that would become one of the first orders of business for the democrat-controlled house. is that a good idea? is that where we want to take it? >> i don't believe that the country wants to dive back into a investigation, and he has gotten away with it so far and not a big popular demand to show the tax returns and a lot of people realize that there is something probably something that he claims in the tax return, but he has a enormous power

jennifer ruben, eugene robinson, harry litman, jed thank you all for starting us off.n we come back >>> in the united states where 14 -- 14 republican senators turned against the president on an important vote today in the senate. democratic senator jeff murkily will join us on that next. guess who is bulking up your morning with some meaty breakfast burritos? this guy. get my meat lovers with bacon, sausage, and ham. or grande sausage with creamy sriracha. because at jack in the box, whoops, we're all about bulking up breakfast. meaty, baby! try my meaty breakfast burritos. ♪ ♪ connecting people... ...uniting the world. ♪♪ with ham, grilled sausage,th my and hickory-smoked bacon.rrito or my grande sausage breakfast burrito with creamy sriracha and crispy hash browns. i'm all about bulking up breakfast!

months later, eugene was wounded and he passed away one day after christmas. his mother would come right here to mourn by the grave of her precious son, she loved him so much. she was one of the thousands of american moms and dads whose beloved children found their final resting place on the hill side. each of these marbel crosses and stars of david marks the life of an american warrior, great great warriors they are, who gave everything for family, country, god and freedom, through rain, hail, snow, mud, poisonous gas, bullets and mortar, they held the line and pushed onward to victory. a great great victory. costly victory but a great victory. never knowing if they would ever again see their families, or ever again hold their loved ones here are the words of a young soldier, named sargent paul mayn ard, from a letter he wrote only a few days before the end of the war. dear mother, i think of you all at home and i know if i am spared, to get back, that i shall appreciate home more than ever ever before. it will seem like heaven to me to be once more where the

amy: talk about jane adams, eugene debs, and others. allpart of your book to end wars. >> when we look back at the first world war, i think at this point most of us would agree that if there was any one single event in the 20th century that we could reach back and magically undo, wouldn't it be the war of 1914 to 1918? not only did it produce a colossal death toll, but it left behind a legacy of bitterness and resentment in germany that hitler's was able to manipulate so cleverly to gain power and start an even more destructive war in the holocaust as well. i think it is important -- possible to remember the second world war happening without the first. at the time it w was happening, 1914 to 1918, there were and all of the warring countries, extraordinary people who saw what was happening as madness and who often refused to fight, if they were young men eligible for the military, or who supported those who refused to fight. emma g goldman was sent to jail for organizing against the d drt and speaking out very strongly against the war.

as i look back on it and having seen eugene mccarthy and that powerful motivation that senator mccarthy felt about needing to take the issue of the war in vietnam to the american people, i see a strong connection between how paul was motivated and senator mccarthy, which resonated with me so much as a 22-year-old, so i respected it. i understood what it meant for us as a family. i think we all knew it was a long shot. on the other hand, we had been through so many elections that were similarly deemed to be longshots, and in the end paul would be successful, so i never underestimated my husband's ability to win an election, but it was not meant to be. and yet i do think it changed the trajectory of the election in 1992. steve: he was very public in his battle with cancer, both when he was diagnosed in 1985, and also when it came back in the mid-1990's. why? rep. tsongas: when you are a public official, you can't hide these things. he felt initially that the voters of massachusetts needed to know why he had made the decision to leave the senate. it is a hard won position, and one in which

socialist party leader eugene b. debs, who got one million votes for president of the street of, president of the united states in 1912 is arrested for objective to the war effort and is sentenced to 10 years in jail. with prosecution of dissidents, wilson has both crushed the antiwar spirit and appeased the extremists. america's answer to the threat from abroad, the threat of the german armies, also becomes more vigorous in the summer of 1918. doubts of national conscience, fears about security, are dimmed by triumphant scenes from the western front. the aef is in action to the hilt, driving back the german's last offensive. woodrow wilson, who feared that war would prove an enemy of liberty, has compromised with that enemy. in the promising autumn of 1918, the nation has not sensed this. what americans feel is an irresistible strength of purpose. the army is on the march in france. the nation is in step over here. >> you can watch the ceremony here all weekend, every weekend on c-span 3. >> monday night, on the com

my name is eugene mccarthy, and i was just calling him back." my wife, fortunately, knew her history and knew who eugene mccarthy was, and turned into a very nice, accommodating person and worked with me to make sure i got to talk to him. but at that point, she was not sure he wasn't a telemarketer and was ready to give him an earful. so sometimes you get to see some living history in your life. sometimes it gives you a good story. in this case, it gave me a great story. but the one that johnson fears more, and we've already talked about this in great detail, is robert kennedy. now robert kennedy had come to johnson and said to johnson, "if you will appoint a blue-ribbon committee to study the causes of the vietnam war, i'll probably wait until 1972 to run." but johnson sees right through it because what do you think kennedy does? who is he going to put on the blue -- this commission? are they going to be hawks? no. he tries to load it with doves. and johnson, and he says we need to have complete independence. and johnson sees right through it.

eugene, here we are a couple of days after the election. donald trump has once again put mainstream republicans in a terrible position. i'm sure many of them are hoping that some of the rumors thatter were coming out from the white house yesterday, that chris christie is on his way being put up for attorney general, that happened sooner than later. this is a terrible position for republicans to be in. >> it is. but it is a position that mainstream republicans have put themselves in. donald trump has shown always who he is going to be. there is no surprise there. >> i talked before about those republicans that have to run in purple states, corey gardner in colorado, susan collins in maine, chairman can bburr in no carolina. even kansas has just elected a democratic governor and you've got joni ernst in iowa. a lot of people in a lot of swing states. i can't believe they won't speak out today on this. it doesn't make smart political sense. >> it would make sense because they represent voters who are genuinely concerned about this. the reality

. >> joining us now eugene scott, reporter for the "washington post."uite a lot of drama playing out there after that all senators briefing. have republicans drawn a line in the sand for president trump and the cia related to the murder of jamal kashoggi? >> it appears so. senators know that if they are to make the most informed decision, they need the most information possible. at this point much of the information that senators are getting about this incident is actually coming from places like the "washington post" amid msnbc. perhaps in the past that would have been okay for them in terms of not pushing back more of the trump white house. but i think many of them have in their minds the fact that large percentages of the american public voted against status quo of this month's midterms and therefore want to have a senate that is a check on the white house and is not just a group of yes people for the president. >> i want to turn to paul manafort, specifically what's on the table, what's not. you've got a plea agreement off the table. pardon, not off

joining us now the professor, harry litman, deputy assistant attorney general, and eugene robinson, and jennifer ruben, opinion writer for "the washington post" and msnbc contributor. and feugene, i want to start wih you quickly since you remember every one of these beats that unfolded during the watergate investigation. the idea richard nixon would have ever allowed himself to be caught publicly discussing the pardons of bob halderman and others was just unthinkable to nixon who knew where the impeachment lines were drawn. >> because there were lines. there used to be lines, lawrence. and amid the evidence compiled by leon as evidence of richard nixon's obstruction of justice was allegations that he sort of dangled clemency and pardons in front of potential witnesses. and what is donald trump doing? the difference of course is donald trump is doing it in public, in front of us. we're seeing it before our very eyes. and they seem nonchalant, almost proud of the fact they are obstructing justice. that's what they're doing. it is clearly obstruction of justice. and the only question is wh

. >> i want to bring in a repor r reporter eugene scott.ow are the candidates bracing for tomorrow? >> i think they're doubling down on what messages they've been communicating to their bases to ensure turnout. the republicans are following trump's lead, at least not pushing back on him, reminding voters that it was anxiety about immigration that led them to back the president and that he will campaign and lead an administration that will address those fears and make america great as far as they define things to be, which is the way america used to look in the past demographically. i think democrats are doing the exact opposite, trying to commune taicate it is not going be fear mongering that they think will make america its best yet. >> let's switch gears for a moment and focus in on one of these states. there is the state of georgia. now you have brian kemp the secretary of state making an accusation that the democrats tried to hack voter registration in that state. it's kind of interesting to hear that coming from brian kemp. he rejected
