glaude: i appreciate her passion.is that a motion, that depth of concern that sets the stage for us to be otherwise, for us to finally break the back of this. every time a new america is about to be born in this country , every time a new america is about to be born the umbilical cord of white supremacy is wrapped around the baby's neck choking the life out. barbara's passion and commitment joined with others, we can become better midwives and finally give birth to a new way of being together, that is our task in this moment. host: this is derek in lakeland, minnesota. caller: good morning, c-span and america. i have been watching you on morning joe for years now, and i don't know what is up with the bubble in princeton. i do know that princeton use to sell -- i want to stick with what baldwin just said in that clip that you read. he said he was not a race. i am not a race. i don't know why you are so abscessed with skin color. it boggles the mind. we are a multiracial democracy. look at the united kingdom. there is l

joining me are eddie glaude jr. of princeton university, "wall street journal" columnist joon, jon ralston and nbc news correspondent julia ainsley. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >> announcer: from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >> good sunday morning. it's fair to call the deteriorating situation at the u.s./mexican border a crisis, even if the biden administration refuses to use that word, but it's more than that. it's a political crisis for the new president with no easy way out. republicans are quick to blame mr. biden for the growing number of migrants crossing the border saying it's his rhetoric and policy shifts that caused the surge in migrants. the democratic administration says it was left with an unworkable immigration system

and it was really bad. >> we were doing well until eddie glaude sighed. dr. glaude? dr. glaude?, it love it! now, most of the rooms that i went into to listen on different topics, i mean, first of all, it ain't twitter, right? it's just not twitter. you go in and you start looking at the people that are talking, and it's like ph.ds from cambridge or ai experts from like places that intimidate me. >> so not for you -- >> for eddie, but not for me. >> not really. and there's a guy that would -- it seems like this guy that usually moderates a lot of the -- the ones i go into, sounds like the guy on head space. >> calm. >> sunlight, that is streaming into your body and expanding. and so it's all cool, and then eddie, you and me, we go in there and we break the whole thing. it just blows up. it's just an hour of just -- i loved it. i loved it. and afterwards, you say, you can't do that. and i say, i've done town hall meetings in northwest florida for years. this is like -- this is fun! i enjoy this back and forth! wasn't it great? >> it was amazing, right? particularly when mika jump

well, princeton university's eddie glaude jr. conversation, we have former u.s. senator now nbc news and msnbc political analyst claire mccaskill and white house reporter for associated press jonathan lemire. we talked about your new reporting last hour, gop struggles to define biden turns into culture wars instead. and to illustrate your reporting, let's first show you democratic congressman tim ryan of ohio speaking on the house floor yesterday. take a look. >> mr. speaker, one of the earlier speakers said this is the most dramatic change in labor law in 80 years. and i say thank god. in the late '70s a ceo made 35 times the worker. today it's 3 to 400 times the worker and our friends on the other side, running around with their hair on fire, heaven forbid we pass something that's going to help the damn workers in the united states of america. heaven forbid. we tilt the balance that has been going in the wrong direction for 50 years. we talk about pensions. you complain. we talk about the minimum wage increase. you complain. we

eddie glaude, your thoughts as this trial begins, during these really turbulent times. >> yeah, in soe wait of the kind of racial reckoning the nation is experiencing. not only did we see the video footage over and over again, when it happened, now the nation will have to relive that and you can imagine the family having to relive it. you can imagine black america having to relive it. and those who are concerned about decency having to relive it. but what's interesting is as the trial bears the wait of the country's reckoning, it also bears the wait of this collision. and you can hear it in the very ways in which the prosecution presented its case and the defense presented its case. the fact that we hear that he's large and he's dangerous, that he was on drugs, that the high-crime neighborhood was dangerous. right? all of the kinds of images and references that we've heard before in this moment, in these sorts of moments. and so we will see where we are, you know, where we are as a country, whether or not the skepticism that has animated black america still obtains. this is part of th

and if corporations reveal that that's their position, they need to be held to account. >> eddie glaudeure, my friend. thank you so much. >>> meantime, if you received the pfizer vaccine, there's something you need to hear. we'll bring you the results of a remarkable new study coming up. remarkable new study coming up for less than the very best. because only verizon gives you 5g from america's most reliable network at no extra cost. and plans to mix and match, so you only pay for what you need. the plan is so reasonable, they can stay on for the rest of their lives. aww... and on top of that, nobody gives you more entertainment you love like disney+, hulu and espn+ on select unlimited plans. you even get one of our best 5g phones on us when you buy one. and it all starts at just $35. only from verizon. this is the sound of an asthma attack... that doesn't happen. this is the sound of better breathing. fasenra is a different kind of asthma medication. it's not a steroid or inhaler. fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils. it's one maintenance dose every 8 weeks.

eddie glaude, let's just think about that for a moment. she's a third grader. imagine how this is going to affect her. >> i couldn't help but think about that. as soon as i heard her voice, i asked myself, what does it mean we're asking this baby to testify in a trial of the murder or the death of george floyd? what is being asked of her? and then, of course, i went immediately back to the young child who was in the car with orlando castille, alton's sons and all of the children who had to grieve in public and now here we are, my goodness. i keep saying my goodness. look at this. >> we're going to pick it up after this break. chuck todd will resume our coverage, our live coverage of this extraordinary trial, which has galvanized the nation. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. chuck todd on "meet the press daily" is next. dd on "meet the daily" is next pain hits fast. so get relief fast. only tylenol rapid release gels have laser-drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain relief. tylenol rapid release gels. keeping your oysters business growing they

professor at princeton university, eddie glaude jr.st at "usa today" and contributing writer at the atlantic tom nichols. and ap's jonathan lemire is still with us as well. . >> kasie, we move from the house to the senate on joe biden's $1.9 trillion covid relief bill. republicans not so much supporting this bill despite the fact at least among the public it has bipartisan support. some polls have three out of four americans supporting the bill. it seems to be an extremely popular measure. are some republicans going to figure out how to get on board of a covid relief bill that 75% of americans support? . >> joe, that's the question. it does not seem so right now. it was universally opposed by republicans in the house of representatives. and as majority leader in the senate, chuck schumer, seems very concerned about making sure he has all 50 democrats. i don't think they are expecting to get any help from republicans. it does seem like democrats have the votes right now. it is a little bit tenuous. they really don't want anything to cha

. >> joining us eddie glaud. there's a lot that he has done and he is prepared to do.o be. the crisis that the nation faces, alex, demands a response at scale. you know, sometimes history chooses us. the question is whether or not you're going to respond to the call. so he has been elected in a moment of profound crisis. the nation is broken, though amanda gore would say it's unfinished, but the nation is really in a moment of crisis. we have the evidence of a particular strategy, particular ideology, that is the evidence of what the age of reagan has wrought. we're at the end of that era. so the question is what will joe biden usher in? he has to answer the call of history, or shall we say, alex, continue to try to govern to that lost reagan democrat? if they does the latter, then he will fail in terms of responding to what the country needs, it seems to me. >> it does feel like this administration is thinking of its time. certainly they have their eye toward political reality, election cycles and so forth, but in terms irtheir ambitions it looks like a 50 or 100-year

jonathan lemire, eddie glaude jr. and joanna palmer.ersy. here's what president biden said on wednesday when asked by the decision of the leaders of texas and mississippi to lift mask mandates. >> a message to texas and mississippi? >> i think it's a big mistake. look, i hope everybody realized by now these masks make a difference. we are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because the way in which we are able to get vaccines in people's arms. the last thing, the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking in the meantime, everything is fine, take off your mask, forget it. it still matters. >> that's the president on wednesday. here's what republican senator masha blackburn of tennessee had to say about the president's comment. >> we were called neanderthals when i led the fight against the imposition of a state income tax in tennessee. so you know what i did? i started the neanderthal caucus. neanderthals are hunters, gathers, they're protectors of their family. they are resilient. they are resou

. >> professor glaude, you know, raphael warnock is the second black man to represent the south since the specter of jim crow. the racial contours of this are unmistakable. do you think -- i mean, certainly, people of color understand what's happening here. but i wonder, do you think this is resonating with middle of the road white voters, people who may have been republicans but voted democrat in the 2020 election? i mean, how much do you think this resonates across racial lines? >> i'm not sure. i do know that there are some who hold a view that what the republican party are doing, what they are doing is wrong. even some who are those never trumpers and others like roy blunt who might think that hr1 is an overreach, a federal takeover of state elections who believe that what happened january 6th was actually wrong. so there are some debate. but let's be very, very clear. it's only viewed as cynical and shortsighted if you don't understand it for what it is, alex, and for what it actually is an attempt to disenfranchise people of color. we need to understand it in relation to reconst

. >> eddie glaude, kurt bar della, cat rakowski and reverend sharpton, thank you all. >> wonderful note. >> amen, amen to cat. amen to cat. >> that's right. cat, great job, thank you so much! you can find her piece at knowyourvolume.com i'm proud to say. >>> that does it for us this morning. geoff bennett picks up the coverage right now. >> thanks, mika. i'm geoff bennett in for my friend stephanie ruhle. it's monday, march 22, and here's what's happening. could there soon be a fourth covid vaccine in the united states? a new study showed a vaccine developed by astrazeneca and university of oxford is nearly 80% effective against illness but 100% effective against hospital decision and death with no serious side effects. astrazeneca could apply for fda approval within weeks. >>> meantime pandemic fatigue led to some extraordinary scenes in miami beach over the weekend where tourists and spring breakers blew off any semblance of precautions, passing the streets with no mask and no social distancing. the city had to call in s.w.a.t. teams and ultimately put a curfew in place to the middle

white house reported for "the associated press" down the hall, jonathan lemire, and eddie glaude jr.ve the morning off. mike says for the second time in a year he is wearing pants, which is very exciting. . >> yes, it is. an exciting morning. >> good way to start the morning. let's go io

in hans nichols, elise jordan, former aide to the bush white house and state departments and eddie glaude, msnbc contributor and chair of the department of african-american studies at princeton university. welcome to you all, guys. great to see you. hans, i'll start with you. i kind of want to pick up on where the congresswoman left off, where i left off with her shall i say. it's kind of this momentum the democrats are trying to build on after this huge success after the passage of this $1.9 trillion bill. are they going to run into a wall with centrist democrats saying, look, if we want to pass bigger legislation here, we're going to have to figure out a way for americans to pay for it. >> yeah, potentially. especially as you mentioned on the tax front. i just heard the congresswoman talking about raising the corporate tax rate. senator manchin has given some indication that he's comfortable with 21%. i don't want to get too much in the numbers but manchin is in the 25, 26% range. that could raise 500 to $600 billion over ten years. so there are ways to pay for some of it there might be

you mentioned jon meacham, doris kearns goodwin was there, michael beschloss, professor eddie glaudeis a group where it would be very easy for them to, in most circumstances, all of you to overpower a politician. >> oh, easily so with the exception of me, all of those great minds gathered there, that gaggle of gregarious, you know, talkers. but what was interesting is that with ease and simplicity, with simple grace and high eloquence this man, the president of the united states of america, showed that he was humble enough to receive the input of these figures and yet great enough to engage them in a very serious and honest conversation. he didn't have to pretend he knew everything but what he knew was wide and broad. and in many cases much deeper than people have ever acknowledged. but also, it was the possibility of the curiosity and the result of that curiosity. it is to relate what i want to know to what i have to do so that practice and theory -- i call it extreme -- >> michael, did he ask for advice? >> he certainly wanted to know what we thought about particular issues and cri

grace and accountability as you have all said live happily together if we can get there. >> eddie glaudeo cat. >> that's right. cat, great job, thank you so much! you can find her piece at knowyourvolume.com i'm proud to say. >>> that does it for us this morning. geoff bennett picks up the coverage right now. >> thanks, mika. i'm geoff bennett in for my friend stephanie ruhle. it's monday, march 22, and here's what's happening. could there soon be a fourth covid vaccine in the united states? a new study showed a vaccine developed by astrazeneca and university of oxford is nearly 80% effective against illness but 100% effective against hospital decision and death with no serious side effects. astrazeneca could apply for fda

i want to bring eddie glaude into this conversation. shaq just cut right to it, as he always does, and said, these are human beings. well, those of us who are human beings who live on planet earth have all had the experience of being on an airplane, in an airport, happened to me friday, where someone has a medical emergency and someone will run around and say, are there any doctors? is anyone a doctor? and if someone is medical distress, an off-duty doctor is sometimes sought out. sometimes they make the difference between life and death, especially at 35,000 feet or in a crowded airport. so, obviously, a defense attorney as a job to do and obviously a judge has order to keep in the courtroom, but jurors are human beings who heard that a trained medic was denied access to a man who we all know now was dying. >> yes, nicole, imagine in your hypothetical that the persons who were attending to the person who's having an emergency say, no, we already called the medic, you don't need to tend to the person. we'll wait until they come. i mean,

eddie glaude and a.b. stoddard, we always need you.rging about the manhattan d.a.'s investigation into the trump organization, including the former daughter-in-law of trump's long-time accountant, her lawyer now saying she refuses to be silenced. that story's next. she refuses to be silenced that story's next. if you smell gas, you're too close. leave the structure, call 911, keep people away, and call pg&e right after so we can both respond out and keep the public safe. if you see wires down, treat them all as if they're hot and energized. stay away from any downed wire, call 911, and call pg&e right after so we can both respond out and keep the public safe. >>> out of all of the many investigations that are currently being conducted into the former guy, manhattan d.a. cy vance's vast look into every area of trump's finances seems to be the one that experts and even his former fixer, michael cohen, think will cause him the most trouble. in a "new yorker" story last week, sources say the pace of vance's investigation has picked up, quo
