michael cohen, as you watch eugene mccarthy, what is your reaction? mr. cohen: eugene mccarthy had a tough relationship with the kennedys for some time, in part because he thought he should be the first catholic president, not john f. kennedy. he never really got over the way got in thekennedy that bobby over kennedy got in the race in 1968. the morning after the new hampshire primaries, kennedy says he is reassessing whether he will run and i think the feeling among mccarthy supporters was he had stolen the gifts under the christmas tree from mccarthy by stealing the thunder after that performance in new hampshire. the animosity between them grew as the campaign went on and kennedy was not a fan of mccarthy's either. he was a tough person to like. one thing he did not like about bobby kennedy was that he was a very emotional candidate. he did not think that was appropriate for politics. he also used to say that kennedy held these outreach groups to african-americans and hispanics. he complained that is not the way politics worked. it created a lot of ani

democratic senator eugene mccarthy, who was also running for president. the program originally scheduled at this time will not be seen in in order that we may bring you the following special broadcast. the news conference of senator robert f. kennedy live from washington. first from new york, cbs news correspondent roger mudd. good morning. we are broadcasting this morning the announcement of democratic senator robert f. kennedy of new york that he will be a candidate for the presidency. you can't find but one in 1,000 who believes he will not make that announcement. the senator is doing so in the face of almost solid opposition from the democratic party professionals and the state chairman of the democratic party in this country, only three state chairmen, new york, oregon and tennessee have come out in favor of mr. kennedy's candidacy. he's also making the announcement in opposition of thousands of young democrats who claim kennedy has been an opportunist trying to cash in on the courage of eugene mccarthy who was the successful candidate in the new ham

so he found eugene mccarthy, senator from minnesota. poetic, slightly detached inlulectual, but he decided to take on lyndon johnson and push the peace plank in the democratic party. at first nobody gave him a chance. he didn't have a prayer to win. he was going at 5% in the polls. it was like don quixote tilting at a windmill. not long afterwards, his candidacy began to catch on. and there's this fascinating thing that began to happen then. it's called clean for gene. young people at colleges all around the country who had long hair and beards, they got clean for gene. what they did, they walked -- they traveled to new hampshire and started knocking door to door to talk to people on behalf of eugene mccarthy and his peace plank. and there was an incredible amount of youthful energy at the time among these young folks looking to support mccarthy. the polls moved up and mccarthy started to gain support. no one still really thought lyndon johnson would have any real competition. a quite political earthquake was under way, and in large par

[laughter] i'm a proud graduate of the theater and arts department. anthony anderson, chadwick boseman, some of my alumni. and those are the actors who are making big strides on the screen. but one of the first lessons i learned when i got there at howard university, i remember my voice coach, and she said art defines the people. it defines their hopes, their dreams, their failtures, their longings, their loss -- failures, their longings, their loss, their dreams, their fantasies. and it must come f

eugene mccarthy had 42.2% of the democratic votes. but with the republican crossovers in that election he ended up with only 410 votes fewer than the powerful almighty lyndon johnson. it was widely perceived as an anti-vietnam -- from the state of minnesota. within 24 hours of the mccarthy near victory, or what many called a moral victory, robert kennedy announced that he was reassessing and thinking about getting into the campaign. three days later robert kennedy jumped into the race for the presidency of the united states. so it was five years, almost five years of -- since his brother's death in dallas. and we saw in those five years the growing alienation of young people, the cynicism of young people, the sense that government can't do any good. and all of a sudden there was another kennedy running for the presidency who many people thought could carry the torch for a new generation. then just about two weeks later on march 31st, lyndon johnson gives a national address to the country. it was clear that there was an anti-war mandat

eugene call in maine in nearly hours of yesterday morning.e all over the country told to be on alert. >> many times we are able to say there is not an ongoing threat but that is not the case today. there certainly is an ongoing public threat. he is considered armed and dangerous. >> reporter: cpl. call was a 13 year veteran of the force leaves behind us on, this attack one day after two officers were shot at a dallas home depot. the officer died from his injuries trying to arrest suspects armando warez. the other officer, crystal, was shot in the face but surprising doctors with how she's recovering. little alfie evans fighting for his life this morning despite efforts to receive karana vatican hospital. the uk court ruling against new arguments aim to overturn a decision that prevented a terminally ill toddler from leaving britain. sky news outside the hospital in liverpool with the latest. frazier, good morning. >> reporter: another legal avenue was closed to alfie evans's parents, another appeal rejected meaning they have been to every hig

he knows he doesn't have a wall, so now we'll have national guardsmen down on the border. >> eugene,times" report on this topic, while the president couched his ideas and urgent response to an onslaught at the southern border, last year, the number of illegal immigrants caught at the border was the lowest since 1971, said the united states border patrol. not exactly part of the resistance. what do you make of the collision between, i don't know, the mirage or the propaganda he sees on fox news and the reality of what you would presume to be one of the most important age y agencies in the donald trump presidency? >> those two things have not been on the same planet. they're not in the same reality. look, you know, barack obama had sent -- mobilized the national guard to go to the border. george w. bush did the same thing. they did it in moments where there was particular pressure on the border. there is no such particular pressure on the border now. it's all about the wall or the lack of a wall to tell you the truth. in fact, the lack of a single foot of wall having been built other t

. >> let me bring eugene robinson. we say we have it in the opening and everybody's been hearing this is the one, the trump team is particularly worried about. michael cohen, the southern district of new york not necessarily that this mueller thing per se politically, this is an administration that really almost before it took office, there's been all of this sort of controversy, the sort of cloud over it. does this one politically feel any different to you. >> well, potentially. potentially. i think right now, it doesn't politically feel different yet to me in that don't this is for example, eroding away the trump base or anything like that. the opponents to trump are fired up enough and don't need there to motivate them. so it doesn't have that political impact. but you know, who was donald trump before he ran for president? he ran the trump organization. by all accounts, the trump organization played fast and loose. played you know, they were not sort of a buttoned down by the book kind of firm. them have hundreds o

he was right there in eugene and we had a small office in eugene. guy that ran the office became his brother practically and convinced him to switch to nike. he was our first prominent track and field athlete. david: how art is it -- heart is it, do you have to pay them to wear your shoes or do they like it so much that they wear them? phil: they just liked them so much. david: really? phil: no. they demand an endorsement fee from us or whoever they are going to wear. michael johnson at the olympics in atlanta wore the gold shoes. they listed as significantly. david: you made the shoes. john mcenroe was one of your players. he from time to time would lose his temper. did that reflect poorly on your shoe or you didn't care about his image? is a great tennis layer, but sometimes he would lose control. that did not bother you? did it help sales? phil: the latter. he had a bad temper. i always remember that arnold palmer had a bad temper as well, but he would keep it under control. you could see him standing there ready to lose it. john went over. he wa

give us a better sense of eugene mccarthy. but his personality was like, and whytical standing, he faltered as the primary process continued? >> he is an interesting figure. he was aloof. an intellectual. he had very liberal policies and a conservative demeanor. he believed in the process. -- he because he believed was fearful that democrats opposed to the war in vietnam and johnson's policies would create a third or fourth party. he wanted to give them an outlet within the party to make their voices known. traditional view of politics. he had very radical policies as time went on in the campaign. he was someone that was a bit lazy. he wasn't someone who liked campaigning. morning events, he would say "i am not a morning person." he could be very effective on tv, he just didn't like the details of campaigning. mccarthy was someone that would have just given speeches the entire time, and said here is my position you decide. that strategyn, didn't work so well politically. it became more difficult for him to be effective. him be

police say after 29-year-old williams killed somerset county's sheriffs corporal eugene cole, he stole his police cruiser and used it to carry out a robbery at a convenience store. >> i said, "hey!" >> reporter: this woman said she found cole's body on her property. >> i said, "i found your officer. he is in my yard. >> reporter: kimberly sirois explained friday how she had taken williams in, beginning while he was in high school. >> he was struggling when he was here, and because i have children in the house, it was just not a good living situation. >> reporter: a makeshift memorial for cole is growing. he is being remembered for his music at this local bar, where the owner says cole played guitar with his brother. >> i saw gene just a couple of days ago, and we were talking about him playing up here and how he was so glad he could play with his brother. >> reporter: a local newspaper reported that corporal cole had been involved in the recent arrest of john williams' girlfriend, hinting at a possible motive. cole leaves behind four children, including a son who worked with him as a s

whole town was celebrating with me. >> reporter: when they arrested williams, they used corporal eugene cole's handcuffs. williams is due in court this week. tom? >> thank you. >>> next, to the severe storm threats targeting the center of the country beginning tomorrow. possible tornadoes and large hail stretching from texas to north dakota. and the tornado threat extending through the week. let's get right to weather anchor sam champion. you were just telling me there's a strange weather pattern in this part of the country this year? >> in april, may, and june, they're our peak tornado months. zero tornados in oklahoma and kansas, the heart of the tornado belt, in all of april. but that's likely to change in the first few days of may and we'll show you why. the storms on monday, warm air is blitzing across the country. then tuesday, a tight little ball of storms. omaha all the way to bellevue likely to be strong storms but wednesday is our big tornado threat. kansas city, wichita, joplin, wichita falls could be a day of tough tornados. here's the warm air, 80 degrees from dallas to min

. >> eugene robinson, pulitzer prize-winning columnist for "the washington post" and msnbc politicalt. charlie sykes, long-time conservative radio host, author, and msnbc contributor, and a man like myself without a country. charlie sykes, i'm going to resist the tempt taking to say swamp, swampy, swampier, swampiest. get in on this scott pruitt scandal. >> well, you know -- i won't resist the temptation. because the swamp keeps getting swampier. you know, this is a president who's surrounds himself with grifters so there's a pattern here. there's no question that this is the kind of behavior that we've seen so common within this administration. but i suspect pruitt might survive because, number one, what he's doing so is central to the trump agenda. the president sees him as effective. he's popular with the conservative base. he's getting air cover from conservative media. in what alternative universe do we think that donald trump is going to hold members of his cabinet to a strict standard of ethical probity? i've often thought if it wasn't for the russia investigation, we would be

will colonize the worst of the bunch which was a play on the name for the lynchburg colony, the eugenics institute in lynchburg and that's what happened to them, many of them children were taken from the land that they lived on and they worked. it happened to be not in some isolated faraway land but two miles from one of the most wealthy resorts in the area which was either to expand to serve the national park. so the fate of the shenandoah valley for almost 2 generations were entangled with the state of the eugenics movement with colonization , again. in order to make people who were wealthy even wealthier and that is the story of the mountains so often . >> wendy, you're taking on a subject that is very much a pressing contemporary issue. it's one that wendy and i discussed previously, that there are many newsrooms in america that have a reporter who is assigned to cover adoption, fostering, or the circumstances that really create the challenges that inform both those systems. what are the ways in which depictions of appalachia have informed and have affected adoption and foster care?

obviously, that he had worn adidas his whole life, but he was right there in eugene, and we had a smallugene, and the guy who ran the office became his brother practically and ultimately convinced him to switch to nike, and he was really our first real prominent track and field athlete. david: you went after others. phil: sure. david: how hard is it? you have to pay them to use your shoes or they just like it so much they use your shoes? phil: they all just like it so much, they wear them. david: really? phil: no. [laughter] david: ok. phil: no, obviously if they are good enough, they demand an endorsement fee from us or whoever they are going to wear. other than pre, the one that comes immediately to mind is michael johnson at the 1996 olympics in atlanta, wore the gold shoes, which lifted us significantly. david: and you made those shoes? early on, was it john mcenroe? he would from time to time lose his temper, and did that reflect poorly on your shoe? or you didn't care about his image? his image was he was a great tennis player, but sometimes he would lose control, some people migh

jamil smith of rolling stone and eugene scott of "the washington post." thank you all for being here. phillip, we're going to start with alton sterling because you have new information you just gleaned this morning. why don't you share that with us? >> that's right, joy. i was able to speak with two individuals associated with the baton rouge police department. this is in the broader context. whenever there's the investigation, we get the outcome, but wep often don't get transparency into the facts of the investigation. we work in police departments all over the country. it's not uncommon for law enforcement to reach out to us. today i heard a number of disturbing elements. first, there are those in the baton rouge police department and those recently retired from who believe this case was held until after the election with the hopes of a more favorable outcome for the officer? >> after the presidential election? >> yes. they felt the prosecutors were told not to. perhaps most disturbingly, folks in the department want it to be known that the director of

it's and if eugene kept wandering about in a few hours even over those thirty days or so if this is a huge big leap for us are the knocked up cleared essentially assad would have to just sort of tackle a pocket and how marketing that are and italy which is which has a strong rebel presence but outside of that all of syria sort of comes under control of course excluding the goddess dominated areas but the kurds in the review have a different understanding. for her for us in beirut monitoring the fast changing situation for us in syria and eastern good i thank you very much. now on to some of the other stories making news around the world anti india demonstrations erupted in india held kashmir after government forces carried out raids into villages looking for rebels at least twelve people including three civilians were killed and at least seventy people people were also reported wounded. in tel aviv israeli peace activists and members of arab israeli political parties demonstrated against friday's deadly clashes at the gaza border israeli forces killed fifteen palestinians and more tha

there's no difference between hitler of germany and eugene talmage of georgia. there's no difference. so we see them making this similar juxtaposition in terms of the position of african-americans in the united states. randolph sees a lot of pressure, a lot of intense pressure to call off this march in the name of national unity. hey, what are you doing? we can't do this now. we've got to come together as a nation. we've got to come together as a collective so we can beat the axis powers, so we can beat germany, so we can beat japan. randolph says, no. this is exactly the time we should engage in. this is exactly the time we should engage in this strategy. so what we see randolph doing, again, is sort of saying i'm no longer invested in this idea of racial diplomacy. this idea of racial diplomacy that we're going to appeal to the bitter angels of the government's nature. to appeal to folks and say, could we maybe get some equality. right? could we maybe have a cessation of employment discrimination. he's got a different notion of how power can be wielded in the

and eugene robinson is back with us. daniel, i was watching your tweets.atching the interview live. i was trying to not answer the phone, people calling me, saying watch this interview, which i was already watching. we could go on and on about it. give us some of your highlights. >> well, the tone was striking to me. you know, trump keeps exploding after he manages to behave himself for any period of time. we see this when he goes on foreign trips and then comes back. and i think we saw it with his, you know, two days of being on his best diplomatic behavior mostly with the president of france. he just cannot contain himself. he's like a kid whose mom tells him f you behave at the dentist, you can run around the house and tear things up. he got himself in legal trouble at least once, maybe twice. he messed himself up on michael cohen. he weighed in on a matter very likely of interest to special counsel robert mueller with the russia hotel thing. he lied a whole bunch as he always lies a whole bunch. and i think what was also notable to me is that it's ofte

he has to have somebody to beat up, thank you eugene robinson, michael steele and ashley parker. >>> coming up, the russia investigation. new reporting about a key cooperating witness in the mueller probe, george nader. remember him? he helped set up that secret meeting in the seychelles between the russians and a top trump adviser, that sneaky meeting in the indian ocean. tonight we're learning much more about him and his very deep ties -- guess what -- to russia? >>> plus as epa administrator scott pruitt is on the chopping block, it looks like it despite the bad headlines. he's holding on but trump's recent comments about pruitt aren't exactly a vote of confidence. >>> and with republicans facing a potential wipeout this november, party leaders are sounding the alarm. senator mitch mcconnell says the party could be in for a category five hurricane at the poll this is november. is the situation as dire as it seems for republicans? i think so. >>> finally, let me finish with what i think and how i expect things to end this year. this is "hardball," where the action is. ine, but we k

. >> some who lost, you know, anywhere from 20, 30, 40, 50% of their income if not more loarpt eugene lee is c.e.o. of channelmeter, a company that measures video online viewing. certainly these changes made a lot of people unhappy. >> it angered a lot of youtubers who work hard for their content and come to the realization they're not making the money they used to. >> reporter: that may have prompted the attack on u.k.'s headquarters by nasim aghdam. youtube has not responded to our request for information about aghdam's videos, but lee's tools provide insight. would you have noticed her before this incident? >> i would have never noticed her before. >> reporter: since the shootings, however, he's analyzed her youtube activity, beginning in 20 terng posting more than 500 videos, a total of 17 hours, mostly about fitness, veganism, and animal rights. then ba year ago, she started expressing her anger with youtube. >> my videos hardly get views. >> reporter: lee's analysis shows aghdam's videos had a total of about nine million views with 30,000 subscribers. but that's nowhere near wha

eugene list played for my grandfather in's dam when he was in the army. he played for my grandfather and josef stalin and winston churchill. my grandfather invited him back to the white house after the war and eugene list gave a concert in the east road. it was at that point that the engineers came to my grandfather , and as he said, they had found the chain holding the center chandelier was stretching. the survey had been made three or four weeks ago and it was a nice time to tell me. i let the show go on in order the thing down the next day. if it had fallen, i would have been in a real fix, but it didn't. those people had a 1200 pound chandelier hanging over their heads, so they knew something had to be done for the white house. the condition was worse than they expected. the reason i put this lecture together originally was because the truman library in independence has hundreds of the photos that abby roe took of the white house restoration, and we did an exhibit last year. i called the guys at the white house historical association looking for some

. >> joining us are natasha bertrand, staff writer for the atlantic, eugene robinson and barbara mcquade, a former u.s. attorney. we have a lot to talk about after we open up about the sad news about the former president. here we are in realtime. we have a snitch about the snitch it look likes. let me go to natasha on this. what do you make of this? trump is out there throwing spiritual bouquets the way of this guy, blowing kisses, telling he'll never rat on me. and at the same time we hear from "the new york times" he has been dumping on the guy, treated him like garbage for years. what goes around, as we say, gene -- >> comes around. >> where the trump-cohen relationship used to be a one-way street where trump would really treat michael cohen like garbage. you talk to his associates. >> this is known? >> this is well-known. this is well-known that trump took michael cohen for granted and took his loyalty for granted. >> and cohen has an apartment or condo in trump towers, one of them, with all this glorianna stuff about trump it in he glorifies the guy and the guy trashes him. >> in hi

and eugene robinson, columnist at "the washington post," also an msnbc contributor. kristen, this story is this new or is this something you've been enterprising for several weeks, like calling the president an idiot or making fun of his lack of knowledge. that a fresh development or something you've only now been able to report? >> well, it's something we've been working on for several weeks, chris. but i can tell you we've spoken to a number of current and former administration officials who say that he has used that term over a period of time, going back to charlottesville. you remember the big controversy surrounding the president's comments in charlottesville. and then most recently as you just talked about, when they were discussing daca, trying to get a deal done on immigration. and of course those talks fell apart. privately john kelly using the term "idiot" to describe the president. publicly some of those frustrations bubbled up into public view. remember, john kelly went on fox news, talked about the fact that the president's views on immigration have been
