eugene munster of luke ventures conducted a digital assistant i q test. eugene, who one?93% of the questions were answered. second was a series with 83 percent, up from 77% a year ago. alexa was third at 80%, a big jump from 61% accuracy one year ago. altogether, google wins, an unprecedented number of correct answers. i think alexa made huge improvement. it is worth mentioning that the survey we do, we ask each device 800 questions in five different categories, everything from commerce, information, commands, and there is a bigger insight into the winter in that these devices across the board have had unprecedented improvement in their ability to answer questions. over the past two years, since we have been doing this, on average each of them has increased accuracy by 30%. so they are getting much smarter. emily: do you think the lead google has, at least in your survey, is enough to impact sales and give it a boost? eugene: no, the category is so small. but where it matters is that the idea of voice and use of voice becomes a fabric of other products, your phone or othe

eugene: no, the category is so small.t matters is that the idea of voice and use of voice becomes a fabric of other products, your phone or other aspects, and that is something that allows people to rely more on google products. this is part of the idea that google's business needs to become the fabric of different products that we use. that is in particular to google. when we think of the functionality, especially google hitting 93% accuracy, what does that mean for the average person? the average person uses these for only three things, the music, the weather and a timer. but google is a great example of the information category, it does exceptionally well. if you ask, for example, what are the side effects of cough syrup? it will answer that. googlearts to matter for long-term is that people start to realize these devices avenue a more use case outside the three areas they use it today. that is where it becomes a bigger deal. emily: we will be watching as the market gets bigger. loup ventures gene monster, good to have

eugene, talk more about what it was we all witnessed from top to bottom yesterday? >> well, we saw a president go on a typical presidential duty, which is in the case of these two horrific shootings in dayton, and el paso. he went to the cities to visit those communities and to offer comfort to the survivors. and the families of the victims. that's what presidents do. this president, in doing that task, could not keep the focus on the communities and on the tragedies and on the victims. he kept putting the focus back on himself. it was about me, me, me, and about how he was covered on cable news shows during the trip, how other officials who accompanied him who happened to be democrats in ohio spoke about him, and spoke about the trip. and of course the media was not allowed to actually see him in the hospitals talking to survivors so we had no footage of that, but he produced what amounts to a campaign video, the white house or trump campaign did that was released almost immediately, this sort of glossy video of him inside. it was a bizarre performance on what is r

eugene scott, political reporter for "the washington post."a piece out today titled "anger at being labeled racist is the new cultural anxiety for trump supporters." matt gorman communications director for the nrcc and former aide to jeb bush and mitt romney and former adviser to hillary clinton and msnbc political analyst. i want to start with that stunning sound we heard from vaughn. eugene, this really gets to the heart of the piece that you wrote in "the washington post." what did you take away from the sentiments that voter was expressing there? >> i covered the 2016 election and i remember believing that there were more trump supporters than we knew based off of some people's discomfort with admitting publicly they were backing trump because even in 2016 there was some idea, especially among those on the left, that if you were backing trump you were backing white supremacy. what we saw in this clip, this gentleman, like so many others i've talked to currently, are less uncomfortable with publicly vocalizing their support for trump. even

well, back with us are eugene robinson and philip rucker. phil, let's take on that second question. in addition to the times of the raids, what about bosses? are they blameless in such things? >> well, that's a good question, and it's one for the law, frankly. but the targeting, the i.c.e. agents were going after the undocumented immigrants themselves, and with very little coordination. this was all done in secret. they did not even notify the white house, in part because the last couple of times i.c.e. planned some raids, president trump leaked it publicly on twitter and in comments to the press, which spoiled those plans. you know, local -- state and local officials who are responsible for helping care for families and children with parents in these conditions were not notified. so therefore could not do any sort of emergency response to help those children, and democrats are crying foul. kamala harris, the senator running for president, says this was a human rights abuse in mississippi. >> eugene, can it be fairly said that the image of a child crying like the ones we've just bee

so back to eugene robinson and maya wiley.are we in because of all the name calling a kind of post-name calling society where nothing matters anymore? help us out of here. >> first of all, brian, thank you for the public service of reminding us once again what the republicans who are now supporting donald trump said about him at the time. i actually think that was done in emphasis. the point is donald trump is now president of the united states. so what he says and does has a completely different import and meaning and impact from what it did when he was just the sort of weird candidate who nobody could figure out who was beating the field in 2016. it's different now. he's the president. so i think even if the criticism is the same this is just a different time, a different situation, and potentially a different impact. >> maya wiley, i have some numbers to show you. we'll put them on the screen. this is from a fox news poll. and a point of information here. yes, this is a product of fox news. they are very proud of their poll

eugene scott live in washington.sident has rejected international assistance in efforts to combat the wildfires the amazon. jair bolsonaro is attached stipulations before willing to accept the billions offered to help. kerry sanders has more from brazil. >> reporter: flames are still raging in the amazon, but brazilian president jair bo bolsonaro says he'll only accept the money if he gets an apology from french president emmanuel macron. on monday, bolsonaro presented a facebook post mocking his wife. macron saying he was disrespectful. climate scientists say one of the most immediate impacts from all of this is how much carbon is being released into the atmosphere. the immensity of the fires overwhelming brazil's emergency responders. environmentalists blame bolsonaro who wants to open up more rain foreequivalents to industry. we've reached what scientists believe could be a tipping point if another 3% of the jungle here is destroyed, the lungs of the earth, as this is called, may go to a point of no return. presid

. >> with all of that in mind, let's bring in a reporter from the "washington post" eugene scott. the dnc rule change has proven to not have any impact, do you think it has had such a result? >> it opens up who can be involved in the conversation. we've seen that specifically with andrew yang with the idea of freedom dividend seems to be more popular than a lot of people initially thought it would be. moving forward, we'll pay close attention to seeing whether or not he can move more support to him and there for stay in the conversation longer than he has now. >> eugene, let's talk gun control measures here. senate majority leader mcconnell said he is open to debate over new gun control measures. we have a lot of lawmakers that will act fast. could we see this debate stall out and nothing happen, nothing change. >> that is likely. since the last mass shooting, i don't know what issues will be introduced that would lead individuals on either side of the outs that would reconsider changing theirre minds. as mentioned before, there are only two republicans on the record that are r in

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

remember the original pair but i remember the '70s and the waffle soles. >> eugene with prefontaine,he -- >> yes. >> i was happy to see they have them in a case, because, you know, they look pretty worn. >> they've been used. they have to preserve them. >> a nice patina to them. >> jeff, another hot day tomorrow. >> yes. doesn't look like it but numbers will go down 3 to 6 degrees cooler tomorrow. that still leaves us at 101 inland. by saturday, there's your relief. 87 degrees as we help to clear the shelters. check us out at nbcbayarea.com/cleartheshelters. 84 on sunday. let's heat back up sunday. the weekend looks good. >> thanks for joining us. >> nightly news is next. >>> breaking news tonight, the plane crash with a nascar legend on board dale earnhardt, jr., his wife, and 1-year-old daughter surviving after their private plane skids off the runway the dramatic images coming in tonight, the plane in flames on the ground, thick smoke rising to the air we'll have late details. >>> the new mystery in accused sex trafficker jeffrey epstein, the autopsy finding awe bone broken in eps

. >> so in the last hour, eugene, the president was asked whether or not his rhetoric was to blame for the rise in gun violence. let's take a listen to that. >> some of my critics are political people that are trying to make points. in many cases they're running for president and they're very low in the polls. a couple of them in particular very low in the polls. if you look at dayton, that was a person that supported, i guess you would say, bernie sanders, i understood, elizabeth warren i understood. it had nothing to do with president trump. so these are people that are looking for political gain. i don't think they're getting it. as much as possible i've tried to stay out of that. . >> important to note when he talks about the shooting, no motive has been identified with the dayton shooter and certainly no manifesto taking words from the stump speeches of president trump either. but it seems as if, eugene, the president is not taking responsibility and in fact, is making it political. >> clearly he's not taking responsibility. clearly, you know, i can't get into his head. i don't kn

i want to go back to your initial question to eugene.oe biden was so much more effective in that news conference we just carried than he has been in either of these two debates. he was cogent. he made sense. he made a rational argument for why president obama's decisions aren't really worth nit picking right now because the world has changed, the debate has changed. donald trump has changed things. all of those are themes that i would expect joe biden to do a better job of highlighting going forward than he has so far. he just did it there. >> well, then, could that be part of it? eugene, ten candidates on the stage, largely focused on taking down or significantly focused on taking down joe biden in 30-second increments. when we get to the next stage, when the campaigns are whittled down and there are fewer candidates is that when we're going to see joe biden on more solid ground like we saw a few moments ago? to john's point a few moments ago that was sort of the vest of biden. >> i don't know if a debate stage is the left place for bid

>> it's funny you say that, eugene.think it was the boston globe that did an april fool's edition of what would it look like if trump were president. i know it makes the rounds on twitter. it's astounding how not funny the headlines look now. >> absolutely. they look very real, and i think that's why we're seeing some people saying this is our reality, and this is not the reality that i wanted, you know. i still follow a lot of people from the clinton campaign and very often they tweet out a clip of hillary clinton warning us that things would be what they are. >> all the fake news media sort of chronicled a lot of this. anyway, thank you, guys. charlie, good to see you. thank you. ye ge eugene, donna and lonnie, you guys are going to stick around. >>> up ahead, trying to use the presidency for profit, trying to hold the next g7 on his own property, that is a new one. we just heard from a republican who's cheering the idea. >>> later, is there really a shake-up in the democratic race? what happens when two polls say ent

kelly o'donnell there in france, eugene robinson as well. and if you'll stay for a bit, we'll talk about russia and vladimir putin come iing to the. could that come in the form of a personal invite to next year's summit in miami? despite the ongoing cyber threat that russia poses to our national security? a poses to our national security? upport, chantix is proven to help you quit. with chantix you can keep smoking at first and ease into quitting so when the day arrives, you'll be more ready to kiss cigarettes goodbye. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. stop chantix and get help right away if you have changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions, seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking, or life-threatening allergic and skin reactions. decrease alcohol use. use caution driving or operating machinery. tell your doctor if you've had mental health problems. the most common side effect is nausea. talk

the authors of these books in eugenics societies began lobbying congress for this change. over the 1919, eight unique bills are using congress are proposing is is immigration to the united states totally free. between two and ten years. in december 1920 the house passes the building and all immigration to the trent money for one year. and to provide for the protection of citizens in the u.s. , that's where they would and immigration, to protect america. the role is bipartisan, 293- four and 204-1. the senate was unrelated to the bill as written, but is limiting immigration based on national origin the idea of national origins again based in eugenics. eugenicists argued immigration is an and that he is invasion just as clearly as more certainly and national conquest than an invading army. the nordic man, which in its purity, this is another, and it. he has an opt in, was the idea. racial mixture, whether it's between black and white or so- called good and bad immigrants, would only result in the lowering of the office bring the ku klux klan, which did two and half million m

and eugene robinson, pulitzer prize-winning columnist for the "washington post." welcome to you all. michael, i'd like to begin with you. content aside, is this the new normal? questions and answers spoken in a shout with the helicopter engines in the background. it strikes me we have had a new press secretary for 51 days who most americans could not pick out of a line-up because she has not briefed the press. >> that's right, brian. her name is stephanie grisham and she replaced sarah sanders, who left the white house weeks ago, as you say. and you know, sarah sanders shut down the daily white house press briefing, which of course was this fundamental american political tradition. well, it seems to be back but in a way that no one really quite imagined, which is that president trump basically anytime he goes anywhere or meets with someone where the press has any access just starts fielding questions for an extremely long period of time. so we've had several times in the last just few days the president has gone off for 30 or 40 minutes, i think today was 35 minut

these shoes so special well for starters they were given to russel at the 1972 olympic trials in eugeneregon. russell was 25 of the time and vying for a spot as a marathon are for team usa. the rare kicks known as moon shoes for their waffle like bottom were actually among the first prototype shoes designed by nike co-founder bill bowerman only 12 of these moon shoes or ever made other very unorthodox shoes. they were a very exotic. >>because the soul was completely different was made on a waffle iron. he was glued to the bottom of the shoe that she was completely handmade by loved like a glove. >>it wasn't until a few months ago that russell look into selling the shoes, unloading them to a hotel chain that just so happened to be building a nike theme property in eugene and wanted to put them on display and they wanted something that would say this is 92. >>and then here the shoes that were the pro tie. before nike was even really a public. pretty good timing i guess, but even russell still wonders could pay this kind of money for keel shoes. you know. >>that wraps up kron 4 news at 5 k

eugene myers, the famous editor for the "washington post." but as luck would have it they ran into each other at a ballroom that very evening. jones began by berating myers and grabbed him by the lapels, threw him against the wall. not one to be pushed around, the 66-year-old myers fired an uppercut to the jocund landing only a glancing blow. as he regained dispels the 68-year-old jones make in most of his 40-pound weight advantage closed to grapple. bystanders jumped in and pulled the middle part cursing waste we don't have direct quotes of anymore. roosevelt joked the next day, i hope they don't call me to referee the second round. interestingly, the "washington post" still present eugene meyer award to one of its top employees of your and they will be reading my book tomorrow. everyone keep their fingers crossed.

guest: there will be a primary between tom briar and eugene. eugene is the favorite at the outset. he was at the top of democrats' wish list. he's the incumbent state auditor, he ran statewide in 2016 and carried his district. this is an interesting district. four years, the republican -- for years, the republican --umbent ran the district the court decided to overturn the map that republicans had gerrymandered in 2011 and imposed a map with a more harrisburg centric seat. it is a swing district now. we expect this to be one of the most competitive races of 2020. host: we are in the heart of the august recess as members of congress often hold town halls with constituents. what are the key themes you hear emerging at town halls this august recess? guest: there's a lot of conversation right now about a lot of the issues being discussed at the presidential level. certainly immigration is at the forefront as well as health care. carefuls have to be heading into 2020 to remember why they won their majority in 2018. i interviewed dozens of democrats who ran in the most competitive distri

lawn, usa today washington bureau chief susan page, michael crowley, who covers foreign policy andu eugene robinson. the president out there on the south lawn and talking. we'll matter mohear more about has to say. he's apparently taken a shot at the prime minister of denmark. this was an invitation by danish royalty to come for an official visit which was supposed to be after the g7. it was not a hot burner issue. >> let's pause to reflect on how much the president has been talking lately. the sheer volume of his talking is amazing. he's got so much on his mind. it's gushing out in all directions. interesting. on the specific point about this trip, a stunning move, even for this president. you know, it does make you wonder something doesn't add up. so either this trip was about his intention to try to buy greenland, which was more serious than he has led on. because in the days leading up to this, he was saying, no, that's not why i'm going. this isn't one of the front burner issues. i would point out that former president barack obama is scheduled to be visiting denmark later in septembe

back with us, nancy cook, jon meacham, eugene robinson, general barry mccaffrey. general, i'll begin with you. you are certainly very familiar with mattis. what do you make of this? >> look, mattis is a very unusual figure in the armed forces. with the exception of maybe colin powell, he's the most respected military officer since world war ii. he's a defense intellectual. he's a ferociously aggressive combat marine commander. he has tremendous integrity and balance. so he's a remarkable public figure. his highest point of his life, i hope, was the cabinet meeting, which you will remember. i think it was one of the first ones where the cabinet was taking turns with this incredible on seek weous groveling, embarrassing behavior to the president. when it got to mattis he said, "mr. president, i'm just proud to represent the men and women of the armed forces." this guy is a very tough man, very balanced guy. i don't think he has any political ambitions. i hope this book is helpful in understanding the incredible chaotic dysfunctional system now in place to deal with

for starters, they were given to him at the 1972 olympic trials in eugene, oregon. he was 25 at the time. he was vying for a spot as a marathoner for team usa. the rear cakes known as men shoes for their waffle like bottom were actually among the first prototype shoes designed by nike cofounder bowerman. only 12 of these were ever made. >> they are very unorthodox shoes, they were very exotic. the soul is completely different, it was made on the waffle iron, it was glued to the bottom of the shoe, the shoe was completely handmade, i love them, they fit like a glove. >> a few months ago, he looked into selling the shoes, unloading them to a hotel chain that just so happened to be building a nike themed property in eugene and wanted to put them on display. >> they wanted something that would say, this is nike town. here are the shoes that where the prototype before nike was even really a public shoe. >> pretty good timing. even russell still wonders who would pay this kind of money for some funky old shoes?
