eugene, you know this landscape better than anybody out there. our viewers who may not be as familiar with the new york political landscape, walk us through what is the background to de blasio/nypd relationship that began during his campaign in 2013 when he ran specifically against the stop and frisk practice, which was the practice that was stopping mostly black and latino men and how that played out in terms of relationships with the cops. it was an argument that de blasio made that helped him get elected but clearly was probably not something that the police department appreciated very much. >> well, we -- there's a reason there's a term limit for mayor in new york city. we had a mayor for 12 years and it probably would have been better to have a mayor for eight. certainly better for a police commissioner at eight. >> are you talking about ray kelley? >> i'm talking about commissioner kelley, who i have the highest regard for, but stop and frisk was a real issue and percolating issue. mayor de blasio ran on that issue. that should have been cu

eugene robinson, are you there with us? >> yes. >> here we are, eugene. five years in prison in cuba and now no one saw happening this morning in perhaps this man's release leading to a tremendous change in policy with the u.s. and cuba. >> yeah. you can only imagine how he feels five years in a cuban prison. it would be a terrible experience as everyone has pointed out. his health was in decline and to be home it must be an incredible moment for him and his family. we can only wish them the best and celebrate. he should never have been arrested. he didn't do anything that any civilized country would consider a criminal. i think we should celebrate what has been done to bring him home. >> he's now home. these images. back to the battle already brewing as the man has barely stepped his foot opn american soil in five years. what do you make of that? >> here it comes. if we predict that, you know, you and i a few minutes ago. it's going to be sharp division on this point. senator rubio speak it's bad for the cuban people. having been there a lot of times, i

. >> police can -- >> hold on, eugene. eugene. >> police can only apply deadly force, such as a gun or a chokehold if there's an imminent risk of great bodily injury to them or a bistay stander. what was clearly not present here, because it wasn't present in ferguson or the george zimmerman case are prosecutors who were going to argue in the grand jury room that a crime was committed. i don't think the law is the problem. i think the law is fine and appropriate. the problem is when we have police officers who kill african-americans in this country, all of a sudden, prosecutors forget how to prosecute. they handle the cases very different, as bob mccullough in ferguson said, this case is very different from every other case. that's what he said on the record inside the grand jury. that's what happens over and over. >> as lisa is talking, i'm going to get everybody back in. we're looking at live pictures of the store outside of which eric garner died on july 17th, after an encounter with not just one police officer, but mult

arehis case of the exhibit materials from eugene tournament --eugene cernan's childhood.ne of the interesting things i love in his collection is one of his report cards. saysis report card, it "eugene's writing needs improvement. perhaps he thinks faster than he can write." anyone who knows mr. cernan knows that he is so eloquent, such a wonderful speaker. , isee that at a young age think he did always think faster. getting things down on paper was not fast enough for him. captain cernan was an athlete in school. he was a baseball player, got a lot of awards for baseball. he was also a member of the national honor society. we have his induction pamphlet which i think a lot of students can relate to. i remember the national honor society ceremony. another item that is wonderful in this collection is a picture of eugene cernan on his grandparents' farm in wisconsin about 1949. his family was very hard-working. he spent a lot of summers on the farm to in hard labor and work for his grandparents. a great photograph. i think in looking at the childhood materials we have collec

>> eugene mccarthy does something that's taboo.mes out against a sitting president from the same party. >> mccarthy came in from left field. he was not thought of in the front rank of presidential contenders. but there was a great deal of frustration and even despair among the young. eugene mccarthy gave them hope. >> how many volunteers for senate mccarthy? >> i'm ready to vote in the primary. >> from nbc news election central in manchester, new hampshire, this is the news. >> if mccarthy gets as much as 30% of the vote or more against an incumbent president, he can legitimately claim an important victory. >> mccarthy didn't win the new hampshire primary. but he took enough votes that it scared lyndon. he got 42% of the vote. but mccarthy was a nothing, an upstart. if mccarthy could draw blood, johnson was vulnerable. >> they said '68 was the year. i think march the 12th is the day. [ applause ] >> how does this strike you? you're not disappointed he didn't actually win? >> oh, no. he did win, though. this is exactly what he wante

what is your response to that, eugene? >> talk about the eric garner case, first of all, there's a legitimate question as to was that resisting arrest. he was standing there selling loose cigarettes. they seemed to want to arrest him for what is universally understood to be a piddly offense. you really crackdown on minor offenses as a way of stalling, foreclosing serious offenses, that you don't let these things slip past. i think there's merit to that theo theory, but i think frankly it has been taken way, way, way too far in many communities in this country, with the results the police are serving a role that's more like rulers of the community level rather than servants of the community. >> you tweeted out, you said as a matter of record, is there anything that law enforcement can do to a black person that qualifies as a crime? one of these hash tags trending since mike brown, criming while white. eugene's point, police protect in serve, but in minority neighborhoods it is to police and arrest and provide a police state

eugene, i want to talk to you about how this hits the police family. you're one of those guys, new york city police officer, like my father. you then went on to get a law degree and get out of it, but you were in that uniform long enough to know what this feels like in that department. tell us about the feelings that are hitting the new york city police family. and then at what you imagine the situation is like now for the families who suffered these losses. >> just it's unimaginable. but you could certainly say this is a very raw period and sad period beyond words. and you will never see the police more together, more more unaware of their race or gender than you will at a hospital. and you will see it this week on display. you're going to see the american police, the american law enforcement establishment come to our city and stand in solidarity. it's worth noting as someone who's done law enforcement in new york. law enforcement all over the country routinely helps out this city in so many ways, and they'll come to honor our people as they did after

a man named eugene harvey. he was an employee, a baggage handler with delta. and authorities say he was able to smuggle guns into the airport through an employee entrance where there was no screening. once he was inside, he met up with another man, mark quinton henry who did go through screening because he had a ticket to fly. and the two of those men would meet in the terminal in a bathroom and exchange the guns, and then henry got on a plane and flew from atlanta to new york. this happened 20 times between may and december. and the reason they got caught is because henry was then selling these guns on the streets in new york, and he didn't know this, but he was selling to a man who was selling to an undercover police officer. and authorities were able to track the scheme back to these two men. now, to give you an idea of the scope of this, how big it was, well, when henry was arrested, he was found with 18 guns, seven of them were loaded, and in total, 153 firearms were recovered, two of them were assault style rifles, brooke. >> i'm listening to this and i'

eugene, all of our hearts go out to the officers who were lost yesterday. talk to us about how something like this affects fellow police officers. >> well, you'll never see america at its finest like you will in an emergency room at a hospital when a police officer is shot, because you'll see people come together, cross racial-ethnic-gender dwidivideso you see people at the hospital saluting. it's very mourning. >> i need to ask you to respond to pat lynch's comments yesterday, he's a head of the police association, and he criticized mayor de blasio. let's take a look at what he said. >> those that in cited violence on the street under the guise of protest that tried to bring down what new york city police officers did every day. we tried to warn. it must not go on. it cannot be tolerated. that blood on the hands starts on the steps of city hall in the office of the mayor. >> eugene, we know that relations between city hall and the police are clearly strained, whether it's over the garner case, recent protests, or even, frankly, a union contract agreement t

she thought by gaining allies, from anywhere she could including the eugenics movement, it would help further her cause. she was looking at the big picture. >> host: i think it's so hard to put oneself back in the framework, mental and emotional framework and political framework of an earlier day. i don't think she was racist. she was concerned about very poor people who are often immigrants having enormous families that they couldn't take care of and the terrible effects of that on everybody's health and life and all like that. but she was actually close to a lot of black activists and individuals out there who really loved her like w.e.b. dubois and her birth control clinics in the south were staffed by black people, and were not at all coercive. people wanted to control their fertility. and the fact loretto ross who has written brilliantly about race and reproduction is one of the people who has put together the framework of reproductive justice, you know, a way that people are starting to think more about reproductive issues. she said black women have always seize the opportunity

we've got eugene o'donnell.act to what we heard from the mayor before we go back. >> we'll hear details but this is a good thing for the city and for the country to remind people about the competence issues for policing, which often gets overlooked. a big investment that will cost a lot of money. >> retraining the entire police force. when does that ever happen? >> what's interesting is the cops are starved for this training. cops will not resist it. cops love this especially if it's hands on and relevant. hopefully it allows them to do role plays. that's what they need. training is bureaucratic. filling out forms. and then there's no time to do actual hands on diagnosing of problems and responding to those problems. >> there's a political issue here too. one of the reasons bill de blasio was elected mayor a year ago was outrage in the city's mostly minority parts of the city at overly aggressive police tactics known as stop and frisk here in new york. he appointed bill bratton, former police commissioner and ma

let's talk a little bit about population control and eugenics as part of the birth control story. >> guest: he's criticized for being a eugenicist and racist and i think that it is a little unfair. he said something that by today's standards are reprehensible but she was part of a movement at the time, part of an era where eugenics was talked about why is the mainstream circle. especially on the well to do it is something that was wisely discussed how do we encourage more and discourage those that we don't want. it was also considered a part of the mainstream debate at the time and she was a pragmatist. she fought by gaining allies anywhere she could in the eugenics movement it would further the cause and she was looking at the big picture. >> host: i think it is so hard to put one's self back in the framework of the mental and emotional framework of the earlier day and i don't think she was racist. she was concerned about very poor people that are but are often immigrants having enormous families they couldn't take care of and the terrible sense of that on everybody's health and lif

it's actually all by eugenics an the future and the iping that eugenics can have alphas and betas and a social class that's predetermined. >> do you think tom is a genius? >> i think he's very intelligent, yes. >> 30 years ago, tom's mothand being unable to have a buy loathical child through her husband. their only option was the special rebpository. how important was intelligence in your decision to go with the repository. to me it was important because to me, success is equal to intelligence. if you have to pick characteristics, it's only the smart thing to do to try to that. nine months later, the baby was born. expectations were high. >> did your mother ride you as a kid. >> yes. my mom push me. keep working. keep doing your homework. >> so she sfyes, i think that n influenced me. >> what tom suspected but didn't know about his father was that his dad wasn't his biological father and the secret was close to coming out. >> i could tell that there was definitely a rift between me and my dad growing up? >> did he feel like you had some thing. >> i felt like there were secrets she was

eugene. i could not believe the craveness of invoking the memory of 9/11 as a defense to answer is this torture. >> right because it doesn't answer the question. we did call waterboarding torture. americans can't be guilty of torture according to dick cheney. we are notal . >> the logic, i would set, torture and terrorism are not the same thing. they are both awful but not the same thing. pain is universal diagnose for what constitutes torture. conner takes apart cheney's argument and defends it by saying this. >> i mean, that's basically what he's trying to say. >> that's the slow white bronco of history. >> yes it is. >> i think this argument, within the space of five or ten years, there will be a broad national consensus about what this was very much more in keeping with john's interpretation than dick cheney. it is fascinating to watch the push back of the individuals. particularly with cheney, but also with the cia folks in terms of just sort of covering themselves i don't know if i can

by gaining allies including the eugenics movement and she was looking at the big picture. >> host: it is hard to put one back in the framework and i don't think that she was racist. i think that she was concerned about very poor people that were having an honest family is that they could take care of and the terrible effects of that. but she was actually close to two w. e. b. du boise and mary beth ewan and the birth control clinics in the south were staffed by black people and were not coercive. they wanted to control their fertility and we are at a loss on race and reproduction as one of the people that together the framework of the reproductive justice and in the way people are starting to think more about reproductive issues. she said black women have always seized the opportunity to control their fertility even more conservatively than white women sometimes. so i think that when people just go around racism they are reaching. >> guest: if you look at details of her life it is far more complicated and she's almost always on the side of helping women of all colors. >> guest: and sh

eugene o'donnell, who we had on earlier, former nypd officer, said something really interesting. policy change we need. we need change in the police departments. there needs to be a cultural shift in the way that police officers are valuing the preservation of life, his exact words were, there needs to be a higher standard on the preservation of life. that in a sense is a much more difficult thing to change. >> i mean, you know, part of what you're talking about with these peaceful protests and obviously we want people to protest peacefully, but you're just talking about talking. we're just talking about a national conversation. we're not talking about doing anything. we referenced earlier the kerner commission. this is almost 50 years of us talking about why are people in black and brown communities exploding and having riots and getting so frustrated and angry, largely because of police actions, which stem also from generations of frustration around housing, jobs, educational problems. you know, these protests are good. this is the american way. but this is not enough. we need

eugene, when you see the video officer ramos' children, officer liu's wife. we know there's a family right now grieving. the city is also grieving. i want to focus on the new tone in the last 24 hours in the sense. i honed in on the anti-police part of that for a reason. and there have been many people protested. many of them know police office officers, have flaends ariends police officer. a majority of these were peaceful protests. never the less, is this a moment in your opinion that might bring this conversation to an elevated level where we have protesters and police individually talking this through without the heated rhetoric. >> we need to stop thinking the police love the status quo. they're well aware the system is broken. when you see the police somewhere they're ordered to be there. i believe officer ramos family said he would have supported the themes of the protests. i know, there was some reasonable level headed, decent well intentioned people there. there's man yaks there also. that's going to happen. >> absolutely. you have a man whose family

eugene harvey smuggled at least 18 guns through security in atlanta on december 10th. they say he handed off those guns to a former delta employee who then flew to new york. they say that accomplice is now accused of supplying more than 100 guns to someone who turned out to be an undercover agent. a delta spokesperson tells us, quote, we take seriously any activity that fails to uphold our strict commitment to the safety and security of our customers and our employees, end quote. jonathan live with us in atlanta. jonathan, how did they get all those guns past airport security? >> reporter: federal investigators say that eugene harvey would show up at the atlanta airport on his off days and they believe he used his delta employee i.d. to enter the secure area of the world's busiest airport without having to go through tsa screening. once inside, authorities say that he would set up a meeting with former fellow delta backage handler in a passenger concourse men's room. that former baggage handleder would then fly with the weapons using a compliment buddy pass he apparent

eugene robinson is the pulitzer prize winning columnist and editor of "the washington post." commissioner ramsey, what is ferguson to you and what needs to be done? let's start with what it is. >> well, i mean, it's symptom attic of a much larger problem that, unfortunately, exists between police and members of certain communities, primarily minority communities, communities of color, african-american communities. also, it also highlighted a gap between police and young people. so it's a combination of a lot of different factors. >> let me go to gene on this. it's going to go in the dictionary, something people will be talking about weeks, months, years. >> you know, what i think it may come to stand for is a question whether we have two justice systems in this country. one for young, black men, and one for everybody else. and, you know, we've had the string of these incidents, these killings, trayvon martin and you go back and just two more recent ly, and it has a numbing effect. it happens, it happens, it happens, and it finally crystallized, i think, in ferguson for a lot

i'm joined by eugene, a former new york city police officer. jim cavanagh, retired special wagt the atf. and laush mcneil with the university of illinois. professor, what do you make of this thing just mentioned by trymaine? the d.a. said he isn't allowed to release any specific information. what could be exculpatory to use a legal term, toward the police officer who was the subject of the grand jury hearing. >> most people know grand jury, timally the process is kept secret. he does have to request that information as part of a public disclosure. but it is not guaranteed. and i think that it is really important because we need answers. we need to understand with this compelling video, the grand jury could have reached this shocking outcome. >> there are 22 witnesses. what could they have been told that contradicts what looks to be misbehavior by that police officer, if a chokehold is not permitted and he used a chokehold. that choke killed a guy. it was used a homicide by the forensic people. what's missing here that would change that common s

. >> rashad rabin son and eugene o'donnell is a former new york city police officer and professor at we were talking before we came back from the break about the fact that color of change has built up this tremendous infrastructure you guys exist at this time, is actually a pretty significant thing. but you're in communication, that means, with a lot of people who are reacting what's happening to these young black men and boy. how are people interacting with color of change, what do they expect to happen in the wake of tamir rice's death? >> people expect real change to happen at this point. over and over again we see these moments and people are angry and they're tired. they're tired of continuing to show up and demand justice. they're tired of marching in these moments. so, we've elected a president twice. we have a justice department that's supposed to be on our side. and we have taken over the streets. these protests happening all around the country, that are local groups, that are young people, not part of any organization, that have made this a moment, they also deserve nationa

they knew it was wrong, there were -- >> let me push back on that, eugene. >> yeah. >> to the extent told, the cia officials were being told. it was days after 9/11 when the president signed the secret order setting up these black sites, the prisons. and they were being told, do anything you can. there's going to be another attack, 3,000 people have died. i'm just trying to project the mindset within the agency was our bosses, which is the white house, and the justice department are telling us go this. >> but we learned from the report that there were cia employees who were physically ill as they watched this stuff happen. other officials who wrote in memos saying, i want nothing to do with this. i'm getting away from this, this is wrong. get me out of here. >> so it's not that, you know, there was, everybody was gung ho, let's go torture some folks. there were people that realized that, you know, this was more than skirting the line. this was way over the line. >> they also had previous experience that suggested to them as the report eventually found that this was not going to be ef

they need to do it proactively, they need to preempt people who shouldn't be on the street. >> eugenetified in front of the grand jury, his attorney said he did not intend to kill. he did not intend to inflict harm. that he was just trying to bring eric garner down. but this tactic did not work. and it's a tactic that he says he learned at the police academy. should this tactic even if it is a wrestling move, as he called it, what should happen so that someone else doesn't die? >> again, it's a really good time for americans to have the conversation, what do you want the police to do and how do you want them to do it? it's a physical job. in this case, the indictment here is there never should have been an arrest. that was the highest levels of people in the government that decided to put the -- the commissioner of police in new york city to his great credit decided the cops have to retrained and if you heard him carefully, he said cops are on their own, they don't have a lot of hands-on training. three days is a meager but costly investment. hopefully we can get police officers the t
