joining me now is ashley parker and eugene scott. y eugene, you heard the comments.resident saying the women hate the u.s. that is evidence by the criticism of the country from the president who has a long history of doling out his criticism of america. i want to remind people. >> our country is in serious trouble. we don't have victories anymore. >> the american p dredream is d. >> a lot of killers. you think our country is so innocent? you think our country is innocent? >> he is running this country and at least he is a leader t n unlike this country. >> the gang and the crimes that have stolen too many and robbed our country of some much unrealized potential. this american carnage stops here and stops right now. >> tell me about the contrast you see, eugene and what you think when you see the president of the united states sitting in the oval office and calling for du elected members of congress. >> we know the president launched his campaign saying he did not think america was great and he wanted to make it great again. the challenge of the greatness doesn't have

a pseudo science called eugenics. based on the believes that many americans were mentally defective. among them, immigrants. >> america is degenerating. eugenists believe so-called defective should not be allowed to reproduce. >> sterilized women who were thought not to have the right kind of women. thousands of women were sterilized as the fake science became a national craze. the eugenics movement decided it was time to bring its research to capitol hill. >> people from italy and poland and these countries were genetically inferior to the northern european and the area of anglo-ax ssaxon. a new immigration law was delivered. >> they shut the door and red e reduced immigration to the united states by 97%. something even more disturbing was happening in europe. a young german leader was watching america closely. >> adolph hitler had some real praise for the united states. hitler was meeting with the leaders of the eugenics movement. >> the united states is on the money, we can learn from them. as hitler's power grew a

where does that stand, eugene? >> it's best to say he's fully under the microscope from democratic lawmakers. we've seen ben sasse speak out. we've seen lindsey graham suggest if something bad happened, that should be looked in. it's coming from the left. we've seen nancy pelosi and chuck schumer call for his resignation. yesterday in the gaggle with the president, the president didn't seem to suggest at all any great focus or will to look into this situation because he's so pleased with how acosta has performed as the labor secretary. but we do know there are democratic lawmakers who want to see a hearing and would like to make public whatever findings with how the case was handled. >> eugene, thank you so much. time for coffee. we'll talk to you in a bit. >>> let's get to lead diplomatic cables which reveal that sir ken darroch does not think who highly of this president. in those memos, darroch wrote that trump is inseept and insecure. and trump has said, a back wac and pompous fool. the state department was ask

eugenics died out in america. of course, hitler's plans did not. >> that idea of improving the human race, which is what eugenics is all about definitely had echoes in the nazi policy of the 1930s, and the holocaust is one horrific consequence of that. >> white lives matter. >> the white supremacy of today has not reached the level it did a century ago. burt some of its deeply troubling ideas are returning. >> you don't think all races are equal? >> no, i do not. and i don't see why anyone would. >> the white nationalist jared taylor is a learned man, a graduate of yale, like myself. but we don't see eye to eye, to say the least. >> i want the people of africa to make africa the best continent they can for africans. africans, i believe, will be happiest not living in a society like ours. >> i think that you place so much weight on the fact that a certain group of people's ancestors spent more time in the sun than another group. so their skin is darker. >> do you really think, do you really think that blacks and wh

euge eugene, noah, jennifer and jonathan.he message -- i don't know if moderation is the right word, but you hear him in that clip we played in the last segment, trying to draw distinctions between his brand of politics and the brand of politics of the squad. we're talking about trump trying to elevate them. emily says the biden campaign believe as majority of democrats are there, where his message is. how receptive do you think today's democratic party is to that? >> i think it's probably better for him to not pick a fight, but point out where he difers from the more liberal wing of the party, because then he's proactive, he's not a sitting duck, otherwise we might be talking right now about some democratic candidate that hit biden on something, but instead, we're talking about a fight that biden started, so, you want to be on offense like that. they get some collateral damage, for sure, right? you don't -- there are no clean hits in politics. there's going to be a backlash. i think he probably could thread this needle a lit

eugenics died out in america.course, hitler's plans did not. >> that idea of improving the human race, which is what eugenics is all about, definitely had echos in nazi policy of the identify ho-- of and the holocaust and one horrific consequence of that. >> white lives matter. >> the white supremacy of today has not reached the level it did a century today. >> blood and soil. >> but some of its deeply troubling ideas are returning. >> blood and soil. >> you don't think all races are equal? >> no, i do not, and i don't see why anyone would. >> the white nationalist jared taylor is a learned man, a graduate of yale, like myself, but won't see eye-to-eye to say the least. >> i want the people of africa to make africa the best possible continent they can for africans. and africans, i believe, will be happiest not living in a society like ours. >> i think that you place so much weight on the fact that a certain group of people's ancestors spent a lot more time in the sun than an other group so their skin is darker. >>

eugene, journalists tend to love the phrase "chilling effect."have exactly that, a chilling effect in the diplomatic corps. >> well, it's certainly going to encourage ambassadors to find even yet more secure ways of sending their cables home and keeping them out of i guess the wrong hands. look, what kim darroch wrote about president trump and his administration could have been and probably was written by 150 other ambassadors posted to washington because it's all true. not to get too deeply into the weeds, but it seems obvious that he was the victim of this bloody battle that's going on in britain over who's going to be the next prime minister. it's a battle within the conservative party. it is shocking to me as a former london bureau chief that these cables, which are pretty sacrosanct and pretty sacred, got leaked in this way as part of this fight. that's the state to which british politics has sunk. and the state to which the american political scene has sunk is that the president of the united states declared the ambassador from the united k

so i think that's what he's hope doing a bit. >> but my question, eugene, is this it?u talk about taking responsibility, and that's what those younger voters want to see, what does that responsibility look like and is the plan that mike just laid out enough to court those younger voters? >> well, it's certainly getting at some of the issues they want. i mean, the eradication of the death penalty, seeing the disparities between racist on incarceration related to drug offenses, he addresses that. some support for community policing programs, it appears he's been listening to his advisers and listening to voters who say this is what these younger black voters and progressives want. so could that bring some of them over and more willing to vote for him in the event he's the nom northeast general election, he's hoping and it appears that it could be. but we won't know until actually all of that plays out. >> i want to look at this in context of those other democratic contenders hot how what's been defending his actions in the wake of this crime bill, criticism? what's his s

eugene, good morning.his. >> good morning. >> let's talk about the lawsuit that i just mentioned brought by the president on his finances. does this throw a wrench, shall we say, in the plans that the democrats have? >> it certainly will likely delay the plans that the democrats have to get the president's tax returns and make them available, if needed, to the american people. but the arguments that the president has made, specifically as a private citizen, according to democrats and even legal experts don't hold much water. the president's arguing that the only reason democrats want the tax returns is for political motivations. and the reality is, we know throughout history that there have been both democrats and republicans in congress. and they've yearned to see the tax returns of the president, regardless of the president's political party. because they want to see whether or not conflicts of interest exist. and this is the argument that you can expect democrats and republicans seeking these tax return

but eugene is right. i don't count out bernie sanders at all.of resources to go the distance and he has very strong support. that support seems to be falling in iowa, but it can go the distance a long time as well. >> gene, this variance in the poll in the "washington post" poll, is the one that varies the most with the other polls. that's the kind of thing that will shake itself out overtime. when we get past the next round of debates, we will probably have more clarity in the polls by then. >> yeah. we probably will. the polls will be all over the map and they are snapshots and that's why a lot of analysts sort of average the polls and try to get a sense of where the race is from that. i think the real take away is the rise of warren and especially the rise of harris into that -- firmly into that top tier. they were not necessarily firmly there before the debate, but they are definitely there now. they will be factors in this race. >> let me just say quickly, i think kamala harris' growth in iowa, early on in this race, a lot of people thought

joining me now glen kirschner former federal prosecutor and eugene scott political reporter for "the washington post." how likely is it that there is more support at least from democrats in congress to impeach president trump after mueller's testimony? >> as of right now, not very likely. we haven't seen large numbers of lawmakers come out and say because of this testimony they are now on the impeachment band wagon. i imagine that discussions are still taking place, following the hearing, and people are still processing just everything that happened although a whole lot of new information was not made available. but i think what people are doing in congress more than anything else is looking at their bases and seeing what their districts are telling them to do. i think that's what nancy pelosi instructed them to do. do what you need to do to have the support of the people who sent you to congress. >> okay. then, eugene, for those saying it was a win for republicans and democrats didn't get what they wanted, is that really true? because impeachment doesn't mean you are removing presid

you know, it's interesting, eugene.t does seem as if there is this tiny little way that you might see, okay, you can open your impeachment inquiry, chairman nadler, because you need the subpoena power, we need the legal power to compel, but that's all you're going to do. do you think we go down that road? >> well, i think that's possible. i think it may be -- i don't know. i was going to say slightly less possible today than it was -- slightly less. not a whole lot less because as dan pointed out, there are constitutional reasons. there are lots of reasons to impeach donald trump. but if there was going to be a reason anyway to remove him from office through impeachment, mueller was going to have to produce an actual corpse yesterday. it was going to have to be something, you know, totally dramatic, which was possible. but it did not happen. and therefore there is no way on earth republicans in the senate are going to vote to remove him. so it will be necessarily a symbolic act but it will not be an act that leads to hi

and very quickly on eugene's last point.nversation of race is actually an issue that can break us as a nation and we can't get to all these other policy issues if we don't heal. that's why a candidate has to address that. look, the candidates on stage last night, those on stage tonight, they can go toe to toe with donald trump. this is going to be about contrast. and interestingly, there's kind of two parallel lanes for democrats right now. there's a fight for the heart and soul of the party. i believe that the party should just go all in and recognize it's progressive movement, the energy is around progressivism right now. and that is one debate. the heart and soul of the party. the other is that is happening during an election cycle that's so critical to defeating donald trump. and so while it is not my position as a former republican to tell democrats what sthey should believe, the one piece of advice i would offer when it comes to an election, understand the importance of incrementalism. i think the party is a medicare f

the idea of national origin is again based in eugenics. they argue "immigration is insidious invasion just as clearly as and works more certainly in national conquest in an invading army. the nordic man which in its purity this is another quote has fair skin, was the ideal. racial make sure they argued between black and white or so- called good or bad immigrants would only result in the lowering of the-the klu klux klan at 2 1/2 million or million members in 1923 led a campaign against catholics, jewish, foreigners calling or 100% american. these ideas are everywhere. in 1921 we passed a quote outlaw. the doors remain open but immigration is limited. the opportunity available to immigrants is based on their country of birth privileging nordic countries while severely limited visas available to southern and eastern european places where jewish and catholic live. at the last minute the senate rejects a proposed amendment which would have made a distinction between immigrants and refugees think those who prove that they were escaping politica

i'll start with you, eugene.oking for in the dynamic between vice president biden and senator harris in this second debate? >> i'll primarily be looking for vice president biden to be prepared. he said he was not prepared for the attack that came from senator harris during the first debate. so now he knows that people are gunning for him and that if he does not respond in a way that maintains his lead, he can lose it. and people are looking for opportunities to show to the american people that they would be a better alternative than the former vice president. we know that he, despite the significant lead, in someplaces with some black voters, knows that he cannot rely on that much longer. >> antwon, you pointed out that all of the candidates of color are debating on the same night. obviously this was a draw that was done at random, it wasn't deliberate. why do you find that significant? >> well, because there's no doubt in my mind i think everyone knows this, that the african-american voters in this party will de

renaming buildings possibly to cut links with promoters of eugenics. whether we deem them for dinner current world andi deem them for dinner current world and i keep thinking that the difficulty ofjudging people on our current values is that in 200 years, will have some view that people find disgraceful and we don't even know what it is! but this is looking at trailblazers including marie stopes and over issues of whether essentially they believed in eugenics and whether they held racist views. which a lot of people obviously did at the time. including winston churchill. quite. now they feel completely disgusting to us and i would say that it's right that they do but there's a real question whether we can really look back and judge people with todaypos my values. the best quote is actually from the head of the francis golden institute which is not part of ucla but pointing out that these are a problem, we can't wipe history away and we really are not getting to grips with how we address it. we cite these things were bad but some of these institutions p

joining me now, nbc news correspondent mike menially, eugene scott, philippe rhinnen es, and mike singleton. mike, starting with you, this has been a significant crisis in a way for them, what are they doing to try to change this conversation? >> well, it's funny you should ask, what we've seen so often from joe biden and his campaign so far is he's much more comfortable in a general election matchup with donald trump than a primary election matchup with democratic counterparts. we get this new statement from the biden campaign about north korea, the big news for the weekend other than the debate. i'll read it. it's attacking the president for his made for tv summits and his backwards foreign policy. it reads "yet again donald trump has demonstrated he's more concerned with a photo op for himself than getting results for the american people. he has repeatedly elevated kim jong-un, a murderous tyrant, on the international stage in exchange for almost nothing. in this case all trump achieved was a mere promise to restart working level negotiations, negotiations that should have never ended."

. >> eugene robinson, the individual republicans like senat senator ernst has spoke up. he is the only sitting member of dock who marred with dr. king was john lewis. >> he was such a hero in the civil rights movement. go back to africa was a chant from the segregationist who tried to keep students from celebra integrating what had previously been all-white schools and try to keep public accommodations grated for whites only. that is essentially -- not just essentially. that is literally what the president said to four congresswomen, women of color, three of whom who have and claim africa ancestry, alexandria ocasio-cortez who is puerto rican and claims africa an restry and omar is from sfrik and pressley has also declared that. it is the most astounding things i've heard come from a president. i'm not quite ready to go all the way to the political ramifications of this or that. it just has to be called out as unacceptable racism in this day and age, in this diverse country. as far as we have come, as congressman lewis said, we are not going back there. we have been ther

eugene?rying to bring it, like any politician, the democrats want to bring him in on this. >> we are about to enter what i call the gloria allred phase of this, right? >> she'll be happy to hear you say that. >> if not gloria allred, another lawyer i believe probably will soon start appearing with women who say that as underaged girls, they were abused by epstein either in florida or in new york or in new mexico or in the virgin islands. some place, all in u.s. jurisdiction. i think that's almost inevitable. >> it's about time people did, that because in the old days, they didn't show up with allred. they didn't have an allred. >> exactly. and i think we're going to go into that phase, and i think it's going to be -- the allegations are going to trickle out more and more and more. and meanwhile, as you said, of course the democrats are going to want to look at this. you know, this is a matter for congressional oversight as well. it just is. it's the secretary of labor. and this is something t

and the popularity of eugenics. eugenics is the, i guess i can say, pseudoscience of improving the human species by a kind of selective breeding. both were very popular in the 1920's. i will let that era pretty much speak for itself. one author, a zoologist lawyer whose name was madison grant, wrote a book published in 1916 called "the passing of the great race." "the passing of the great race." his thesis was that nordics were responsible for human development. by the way, in the 1930's, adolf hitler wrote a fan letter to madison grant, calling the book "my bible." another writer, a popular writer the "saturdayr evening post," and millions of americans got the "saturday evening post" once a week, he urged immigration laws because he said, and this is an exact quote, "immigrants would result in a hybrid race of people as worthless and futile as the good for nothing mongrels of central america and south eastern europe." mongrels, a word we use for animals, right, for dogs. and then there was henry ford, relent -- via

you write about dna, dna technologies and you connect this to eugenics. so can you tell us a little bit about the new jim code, about ideas and about eugenics and how this is manifesting in today's technology? >> sure. my previous work was around the life sciences regenerative medicine, and i have the ongoing interest in the social dimensions of genetics and stem-cell research and so it it doesn't take up much of the book, but i'm trying to make a connection between genetic technologies and the questions that scholars and analysts and activists have been asking a long time around the role of genetics and reinforcing ideas of race and racial hierarchies and take that into now the realm of the data sciences and one of the things that i love about the set of panels today and our ongoing conversation is people marking the fact that what we're talking about isn't all that new. their underlying themes, concern, politics that are taking a slightly different iteration in the context of algorithms and computer science, but oftentimes the people who are just starti

i want to show you eugene's reaction on this network earlier today. >> "go back to africa" was a chant from the segregationists who tried to keep students from integrating what had been previously all-white schools, who tried to keep public accommodations segregated for whites only.io and that's essentially what the president has said. e not just essentially, that's literally what the president said to four congressmen, women of color. i'm not quite ready to go all the way to the political ramifications of this or that, it just has to be called out as unacceptable racism. >> tim, as the trump expert here, so much can be done with a wink and a nod when you're a civilian.uc you can even question whether or not a president of the united states was born in kenya. when you're president, the stakes get higher. to eugene's point, is this bigger than we've played it, but just because life is like the frog-boiling experiment -- i'm sitting here watching kellyanne conway on a sweltering hot day in washington thinking, you a know, they have an air-conditioned briefing room just inside that buildi

. >> and eugene, i'm seeing it globally.e this populist rage, anti-immigration rage, we're seeing it in germany, but we're seeing it in poland, hungary, elsewhere around the world. and now, of course, it may have started here in 2015 or even earlier with the birtherism. >> it's been effective in terms of getting the president to have his base continue to support him. there was some polling earlier this week that said his support among republicans went up about five points after these tweets. one of the things that's really fascinating, of course, about this whole line of attack is that he's talking about people who are born in america, for the most part. he's not talking about immigrants. we do know that the president has a very narrow view of what it means to be an american and it doesn't include to some of his supporters, immigrants or people of color. and that's not going to help him in 2020, considering most people voting aren't in trump's base. it doesn't look like it could be. >> susan, what is the mood up there on the

to eugene's point, it's all about framing, right?s the advantage of really explaining things in a simple way. she did better than sanders did just explaining in a calm and simple way what she wants to do. tariffs, had that been framed as, we're going to tax every single thing you buy and slap a tax on it when it comes in, tariff wouldn't have sounded like such a great idea in youngstown, ohio. donald trump was able to frame it that china is paying for it, which isn't true. democrats don't frame their rg um -- arguments in a way that makes sense. if medicare wasn't a scary thing, this was a time in very simple terms to explain what it is. advantage goes to warren because she did make the point, and the point was made somewhat with the question, that she wants to do similar things to senator sanders but she's a capitalist. so at least she can eliminate that as an attack on her. it is surprising to me that if that was delaney's goal, he didn't achieve it. he achieved it now, but it's a bit late. >> lawrence o'donnell, including, but not
