as eugene mapped out clearly, the democrats don't want it.here's no incentive for them to compromise with president trump because guess what, they'll control the house of representatives. that's the exact argument that trump's base is making that is his last best chance to get any money for a border wall. where do you see this going? >> that's right. but i'll add a bit of context, i'm not taking the president's side but i'm trying to shine some light on what the president might be thinking. >> let's do it. absolutely. >> the president likes to fight. and he likes his base to see him fighting. he knows this issue is a winner for him. he knows to eugene's point he did have some erosion on that base that was shown in 2018. i think he wants to show the ann coulters and rush limbaughs and the right wing radio types, hey, i'm still the guy we fell in love three years ago, nothing has changed, nothing is different. he does not actually care about this issue because if he did, remember, he had an opportunity to pass a pretty comprehensive immigration

eugene mccarthy was no better -- guest: yeah, for his constinuency. host: what was going through the country after the assassination of senator kennedy? guest: horrible shock, as you can imagine. imagine this, two months after martin luther king's assassination, so here our political leaders, social activists, being gunned down. and bobby kennedy, ironically, has been the person to rise up on that april 4 night, 1968, in indiana and they were campaigning for the indiana primary, which he would win. his first primary. and he gets the work he comes in to indianapolis going to speak to an african-american segment of indianapolis that martin luther king has been shot and he tells the people, one of the best political speeches in the history of the united states. there is no script. he does not take our thoughts and prayers are with the king family. and you can hear the gasp in the audience. indianapolis is the only city that doesn't go up in flames that night. to think two months later he is assassinated -- i read the biography of his mother and she said,

went to springfield high school, on the other side of the bridge from eugene. as a young kid, i had an opportunity to see what eugene looked like before it became nike town, usa. if you go there today, there are swooshes everywhere and it is sort of like a tremendous branding exercise. not just in terms of the university but the town itself. a good deal, but people in the town are employed by the university or rely on the university in some way. so the beginnings of us, really go back to -- well, financially the beginnings of this goes back to it a this piece of legislation. passed in 1990 by organ taxpayers and that this piece of legislation did was pushed by these really conservative organ anti- tax activists, was pushed by these groups as kind of a, why are we paying so much in property taxes? they were basically what kept public schools going in oregon. this had a really bad effect on funding for all kinds of public education or especially higher education because it pitted k-12 against universities in terms of fighting over a limited amount of funds, dwind

is not primarily driven by eugenics. it is not driven by scientific racism. i believe, the common stereotype that it is littered with eugenics thinking. i do not think that matches the facts. it is true that there are 41 volumes. this is disputable. anybody can share better cherry pick a lot of quotations to match their arguments. there was a lot of internal contradiction. if you take the fact that he was very insistent that he was making an economic argument, and is major argument was that the problem was that there were industrial communities that had such large numbers of immigrants that they could not assimilate easily. this is a different argument and saying they are not able to assimilate at all. i'm not saying i love the argument, i am just saying, it's not the same argument as, these people are inherently un- american and racially different, and they can never be good americans. his argument was, they are behind, they have a lot to learn, and by the way, the community is not helping them one bit to become american. one thing that really struck me abou

eugene? >> i was going to say i think the pivot even though it's a slight one is related to the midterms. i think a lot of the republican lawmakers on board with trump and supportive of him because that's where the base was. we saw the republicans as a whole did not go do well in the mid terms. we've seen polling come out recently saying that the percentage of people who think everything is okay with the way the president is handling russia is going down. i think the republican lawmakers now feel like they can step up to trump because the base isn't as on board with him as in october. >> the flip side -- i take your point. the flip side, alexi, first, the republican base is still with the president. the challenge, though, is that to win elections nationally, you have to have independent voters break your way. that was an overwhelming statement from the midterms. but do you think to eugene's point that that's playing a role in the tone shift? >> i think certainly. this was some of the biggest

betsy is here for the daily beast and eugene is still here. frank, take me through what you saw in that filing last night. i saw a whole bunch of black lines and called a whole bunch of smart people to try to figure it out. take us through what you saw. >> two things that popped out are obvious to most folks but it's what's underneath that black magic marker that's got my attention. first, we see the word substantial regarding the level of cooperation that mueller is seeing from mr. flynn. but what's redacted here is what's got everyone's attention because it's not what mueller's been doing. so we were all expecting him to tell a story. give us the information that we need to hear and lock it in to a publicly released document. but for some reason, he chose not to do that. my theory on that reason is that he's reached a level of sensitivity, a level of targets that he does not want yet to disclose. and that should have people at the white house very, very worried. >> i think frank is right. the thing that jumped off the page to me is the volum

i went to springfield high school, just on the other side of the bridge from eugene. and so, as a young kid i had an opportunity to see what eugene looked like before it became sort of nike town usa. it was known as track town usa but if you go there today, there are swooshes everywhere. i mean it really is sort of like a tremendous kind of branding exercise. not just in terms of the university but the town itself. because a good deal of the people in the town are employed by the university and rely on the university in some way. and so, the beginnings of this really go back to well, financially the beginnings of this go back to a really ruinous piece of state legislation. called ballot measure five. passed in 1990 by oregon taxpayers and what this piece of legislation did was, it was pushed by these really conservative oregon anti-tax activists. it was pushed by these groups as kind of a just you know, why are we paying so much in property taxes? but it turned out the property tax basically was what kept public schools going in oregon. so this had a really bad effect

before nike got a vote for the university of oregon, nobody knew where eugene was. so he says this in 2015 vicki says this to the "new york times." he's proud of this. this is an athletic department that's probably saying we are a corporate make money football program, and we are going to go out there and kick some butt but yes, university of nike change from being something that me as a football fan may say it to become kind of a point of pride for people who built this. >> right. it's interesting because over the years you will see this changing attitude towards it. sometimes i think there was a big "new york times" article i think in 2009 or ten where they were showing off some new gleaming sports facility that phil might help pay for for the football team and were bragging in sync with our the university of nike. we embrace that. then a few years later when it's time to talk a campus sexual assault or something else, it's, we really separate from nike and we don't, you know, nevermind that there's nike people on her campus all the time helping out with branding

. >> eugene? >> no, it's not too much to ask. and you heard the rationalization. the saudi relationship is all about the money, according to president trump. and really, it's even more about his money. and in a sense, if you step back, i mean, this was always going to come down to money with donald trump. with everything we know about him. i -- you know, one assumes, and actually we know, or we think we know, that, if not mueller than the southern district of new york and new york state attorney general's office and maybe the manhattan district attorney are all looking at various aspects of trump's money. there's -- and the trump organization, trump foundation, there's a lawsuit going on about the emoluments clause, about -- involving the states -- surrounding states here, and it's -- you know, so, this is all sort of closing in, i think, or closing in on some truth about trump and his business interests that potentially could be explosive. >> noah, where's the -- you think there should be more outrage about this on the right? >> i don't know, frankly. i'm not ent

eugenics is a movement that was going on in the united states since the beginning of the 20th century. it was about improving the race and in a court we think the kkk and everything, no. progressives, the leadership of this eugenics movement which ended up being used against the poor, black and brown and one of the people who supported eugenics was web du bois who is lauded in the african-americancommunity as a leader for social justice . >> he was. because i think part of what you're implying is that 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 progressives went along with it. all i'm saying is we need to think long and hard as you say even in this context because i heard a lot of people say we need to join together the progressives you need to be careful about that. i think with theologians like you and what others can do is or muslims who are involved in the emotional fray is to step back for a moment and see what the long-term

here we many, eugene scott and washington correspondent for new york magazine. thanks to you all. let me start with lonnie. the president has tweeted again about the shutdown. what he is saying is the democrats now own the shutdown. can you explain to me how democrats own the shutdown when republicans control both chambers and the president said less than two weeks ago he would proudly own a shutdown. video that exists and that we just played. >> reporter: video can be a rough thing in it reflects the reality of what president trump said last week. i think that the president has obviously decided at this point that it's time to deflect on this particular situation. the challenge is he said he would own the shutdown and it's quite here not for the president's change of heart on the stopgap measure yesterday, we wouldn't have a shutdown. this is a huge challenge. on the flip side there are some senate democrats who did say at some point they would support a wall. that's the hook he's using here to say actually, it's their responsibility and not mine. going to be a very tough stretch

. >> eugene? >> that's exactly the question. you can make a bigger deal, it's buttoned up, everybody can claim a win, make political sense, get the government started. everybody's onboard and then donald trump will just say no because he's watching fox news that morning. that's what almost is inevitably going to happen. you can see it. so what will really happen in the likely course of events is as this looks politically worse and worse for trump, as he sees it, he sorts of backs himself into a corner here and there's no way out, he'll find some way to sort of get as far away from the issue as possible. either by changing the subject or, you know, tweeting that he's washing his hands of it or whatever, and then, you know, the adults will make a deal and the government will open up again. and meanwhile, you know, just one word of advice, democrats don't -- if they were asking for advice, i would tell them not to worry about nancy pelosi being made into a boogeyman or boogiewoman, because guess what, whoever is a democratic speake

eugene, this is looking through an extended lens. do you see a scenario where senate republicans wholesale abandon the president? >> i think it's possible. one thing that could give people some hope, perhaps, is just how they have responded to the jamal khashoggi indication, where intelligence reveals he was murdered by the saudi government. voters sent congress a message, saying they did not wanting to lawmakers just doing whatever it is that trump wanted them to do. i think reps who realize if they want to remain in office they're going to have to perhaps respond to the administration. >>> nbc news has confirmed that john kelly answered some questions to the mueller team. is that a surprise? >> it is interesting that kelly was in contact with mueller, but it seems like a part of this issue is this idea of the obstruction of justice, and that's actions that the president was taking after he was in office. but we do not know what mueller was looking for from kelly. i would think anyone in that white house now, they would be concerned

they join tonight's panelist "washington post" reporter eugene scott, "washington post" opinion writer jennifer rubin, and nbc news analyst howard fineman. hans, i do want to start with you. the president made this surprise visit to iraq, and when he got there he bragged about -- or admitted at the very least he completely ignored the advice of his generals. what does that mean going forward? >> well, that means that the process -- the normal process that we've come to expect with presidents in consulting their national security council, their apparatus, might not necessarily be as traditional with this president. which could be the understatement of the night. it was clear the president had long wanted to get out of syria. it was clear that some people were counseling him against getting out of syria, and when he made his decision it was precipitous. i think we should note what the president did do, though. he said the u.s. forces would stay in iraq. so a defense on syria, a recommitment to iraq. no meeting with iraqi political officials and no trip to afghanistan, a war where he's al

prize winning columnist and associate editor for the "washington post" and msnbc political analyst eugene robinson, washington bureau chief for "usa today" susan paige, and republican communications strategist and msnbc political contributor rick tyler. so, david ignatius, let's keep score. i mean, this is not exactly the sort of show we can pre tape for christmas eve in the middle of july. too much going on. >> you couldn't really plan this one. >> no, couldn't plan this one out. so i thank all of you so much for being with us this christmas eve morning, it certainly means a lot to us and i know it means a lot to our viewers. so there is a "washington post" article entitled "a rogue presidency" that stated where we are pretty well. the federal government is shut down, the stock markets are in free-fall, foreign allies are alarmed and foreign adversaries like russia are cheering. so, david, where are we? >> joe, we have used language to try to explain to viewers the chaos, disorientation in washington, the sense of disruption to traditional policies so many times over the last 18 months,

no parent would put themselves in that situation. >> eugene scott, just want to bring eugene into ther the wall, i guess or the wall funding. i mean the coverage that you see, this great coverage we're getting from our reporters at the border is so negative, i can't imagine that americans are enjoying watching people seeking asylum either being separated from their families or numbered because that's the only way to deal with them. clearly this is a complicated issue. how do they really rally support around immigration policy and the wall given the fact this president's policies do seem to be heartless. >> i think a lot of republican lawmakers are banking on their voters and supporters not being informed of the facts we just saw being recorded. we know news consumption is very divided based on your partisan leanings and this is not the type of reports being produced in conservative media, letting people know these are not human beings breaking the law, they are following the policies that have been put in place for decades that allowed them to come to this country to seek asylum. so r

but the fact that pocahontas's marriage to john wolf should be evoked in 20th century eugenic laws in the state that long touted the first interracial marriage in between pocahontas and john rawls is nothing if truly ironic. generations of contemporary americans have grown learning about pocahontas from the 1995 animated disney film. but throughout us history, americans have been reproducing pocahontas's suppose it like this. and in the early 20th century, however a famous philanthropist paul mellon, acquired a painting of pocahontas that was made in the early 18th century, based on the same engraving of pocahontas. and for decades, it hung in pocahontas's husband, john rolfes family home. it was acquired by paul mellon and in 1942 it was donated to the national gallery of art and then the national portrait gallery where it is touted as their most famous portrait of an american. what we want people to walk away from this gallery realizing is that pocahontas holds a unique place in american history. she is the individual who put a human face on the indigenous peoples of the united stat
