lawrence roberts?guest: one of the enduring questions of this time is to what extent did the antiwar movement, the vietnam antiwar movement stop the war, shorten the war, constrain the military? historians debate this. it is hard to say what would have happened if there was no antiwar move it. there is no question if you listen to the nixon tapes and if you study the johnson administration as well, there is no question the antiwar movement, domestic opposition to the war constrained the military from doing more intense options, more serious invasions of north vietnam, of using more weapons of war, potentially using tactical nuclear weapons, which was on the table at one point. there is no question that the antiwar movement was at least partly responsible for lyndon johnson's decision not to seek another term in 1968. during the period that we are talking about, the spring of 1971, that was the time when nixon and henry kissinger decided to soften the terms of their secret talks with hanoi. the u.s. had

lawrence roberts? >> fascinating. you know one thing that sometimes gets lost when thinking about these protests. and you brought this up greta, this notion that it was the you know the culture at the time it wasn't just radical politics there was also the counterculture. it was sort of a cultural revolution going on in the late sixties and throughout the sixties and early seventies. so when renÉe davis decided to push for this idea of mass civil disobedience in d. c. as a way to try to attract more people, he set up a all day rock concert that would start on saturday may 1st, and go through sunday may 2nd. that was in order to set up for the may 3rd protest. so there were groups like linda ronstadt she was there, charlie mingus was there. and the opening group for the made a concert at the west potomac park was the beach boys and they were on sort of a revival tour. they showed up and played and then bands played all through the night. all afternoon on saturday, and all through the night. there were t

lawrence roberts? >> right. i think that's right. i think that most people did come out of this extreme conviction that it was time to do something more to end the war. i think that the response of the nixon administration was informed a lot by what had happened in the previous weeks of these 1971 protests. so, i mentioned that the speech that nixon gave on april 7th had given him a bump in approval of his handling of the war. but as soon as these protests started, particularly the vietnam veterans, the white house was getting alarmed because they noticed that public opinion was going in the other direction. and they were worried that a really successful shutdown of the city by, you know, by protesters would put even more pressure on them and would make them look weak. so, nixon and his men started holding these secret war councils to figure out how to undermine the mayday protest. and, as i mentioned early in the program, one of the things they did was revoke this camping permit and bust up the campgr

[laughter] >> yeah. it's interesting to see that the more government involvement there is, the more pessimistic people become about the future of the country. maybe that's actually weirdly a good sign. >>> all right, next up on "the big sunday show," we're talking trash. san francisco may spend thousands of dollars for garbage cans? is that really what that city should be focused on right now? that's straight ahead. ♪ california, rest in peace. ♪ simultaneous rele

thank you, lawrence. fire crews continue to make progress on a string of fires in northern california. >> the lava fire has burned 46 square miles. this is near the foot of mount shasta. it is 70% contained right now. the tent on fire has burned nearly 16 and a half square miles. 51% contained. there are concerns about windy weather fire crews. they're worried that winds could gust up to 25 miles an hour by tomorrow and containment of the salt fire north of the city of reading has increased to 20%. it's burned more than 11,000 acres near i 5. and in southern california, crews are fighting the tumble weed fire. now the los padres national forest that began yesterday. it's already burned 2000 acres. it's only 10% contained. >> raining hot dog eating champ and apparently valais how native. >> we've been saying san jose. but the apparently it is belied how native joey chestnut. >> he kept the crown this holiday weekend. securing his 14th win at the nathan's hot dog eating competition on coney island. any did

>> i think it's more the latter than the former lawrence. we also have to keep in mind as they've talked about how they're close to a deal there is still a lot of question marks here including how you're going to pay for it and whether those pay fors will work. but that aside, i think mcconnell is in a very tough place on this one. something he's not used to doing. you're absolutely right. he can command his troops and keep this from happening if he really, really wants to do that. but remember that mitch mcconnell also cares about winning a majority in the senate in 2022 and he has some vulnerable senators. and if they're on record as opposing infrastructure, all of those things that are popular in their states, and popular with those voters as the polls showed, that is going to be a bigger problem for him. so i don't think he is going to pull out all stops to kill this and if it goes through and it goes to the house, nancy pelosi is going to sit on it and wait until we see that larger package happen. one other big point which is you need a

lawrence, can't wait. rachel: thanks, lawrence.lar consensus may be at any moment, you're in trouble. it doesn't show a lack of empathy, or sympathy. the answer to your question, lawrence is no. transwomen should not compete against biological women in any circumstance. the truth we cannot sacrifice the whole for the benefit of a single individual. rachel: that was her position not very long ago. pete: i wonder what if it is the chorus of backlash jenner gets from the elite crowd. rachel: or from the transcommunity. pete: if you're not fortified you might be worn out. that is what will happen here. we talked about bias yesterday. we acknowledge our own biases. "new york times" editor came out and admitted she was biased. had no problem with it. listen i'm biased. everyone has a bias. i'm willing to run with it as a journalist. there is anonymous white house reporter, a quote, prominent white house reporter remaining anonymous, speaking to another journalist, where did this appear, you guys know? will: julia -- pete: but anyway, thi

>> well, lawrence, i feel the frustration, right? is being carried by people who are unvaccinated. but in public health and medicine, we tend not to blame the people we are caring for, we tend not to blame the patients, we tend to look upstream to figure out what brought them there. the truth is, for most people, at this point, there are still pockets of people who need their questions answered. we need to continue to work to do that, to instill more confidence in vaccines. but others are being fed a stream of misinformation, and even the efforts to get the vaccinations out or to take public health measures have been politicized. vaccine mandates are politicized, mask-wearing is politicized. and they have been told, this section of the population has been told, that covid is no worse than the flu. that has led them to say, why should i take the vaccine? i think that is what leading is leading to this. for governors like what governor ivy, i would go about continue to stress the importance of vaccination, make vaccinations as easy as

now it's time for the last word with lawrence delano. good evening lawrence. >> an evening rachel. we have someone joining, us it's almost like cheating, here we have this really complex legislative thing that is coming along the, infrastructure bill on two different tracks, two different pieces of legislation. he's actually gone and talk to the legislators in charge of the legislation. instead of just kind of hanging around on the sidelines and guessing, is, it on track, is it off track? he has a very good news to report about just how unchecked all of it is. >> actual data, not just gibberish. >> yes. >> this is not allowed on cable news, you have to talk about this carefully. >> the actual chairman of the committees that are actually controlling this thing, so we will get into it on the real legislative mechanics. over the next few weeks, there will be a lot of missed signals. a lot of misconceptions about what's going on at any given time. i think if you stare at the right players and the house and senate all the time, you will kind of know where we are. dj will give us that gu

i saw that, lawrence. and while i agree, the problem that i see in my initial reaction is that does not leave any republicans with buy-in with the exception of portman. senator portman. so in my view that will allow republicans to walk away if they are not at the table trying to negotiation and to cut a deal. you know, he is very close to mcconnell. if mcconnell wants to pull the plug, this is an easy way to do it. >> the way that i read the portman thing, and we will find out tomorrow or maybe never find out. the other republicans decided rob is the one that knows the details. i'm going home. you negotiate it. and more a matter of they basically limits to attention spans, just hand it over to rob and let steve handle it for the other side. >> that is certainly some of the way that the psychology in the meetings work. as it works, you know it works. jim is not wrong about this. not only does it make it easier for mcconnell who will happily roll on portman with portman saying he will retire. no personal pol

it is time now for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. lawrence, i have to tell you, watching the arrests of joyce beatty and the other representatives who are threatened with arrest and likely will be arrested when they return home to texas and on the eve of the anniversary of the passing of john lewis, i think to myself there is deep pride that americans should have in the long history of civil disobedience that this country has seen, that south africa saw, the country of my ancestry, india, saw under mahatma gandhi. this does work. >> joyce beatty was here last night after her arrest yesterday. la to sha brown will join us. she was with her at the senate office building yesterday, and it's been a fascinating week with the texas democrats and with just the very, very high level of attention now that voting rights has in washington this week. >> as it should be, sir. have a great show and we'll see you soon. >> thank you, ali. viewer note. what was happening at the beginning of this tv show is that i was trying to deal with my allergy ey

we will check in lawrence today.y clips on the show tomorrow and critique him. rachel: this is the cpac on the west coast? wasn't there one. pete: big one in d.c. couldn't do it moved to florida now doing more cpacs. makes more sense. will: ' crime is the focus of lawrence's speech today. the vice president is addressing crime as well. she is saying it's a false choice to say reimagining public safety also means defunding police departments. now, that's a little bit at odds with the choice that seems to have been present to the american people over the past year where it wasn't -- it wasn't coy, it wasn't shell game. it was quite literal and honest. we want to defund the police. i believe we were told it means exactly that. pete: yeah, it means reduce their budgets and also rein in what critics have said are abuses of law enforcement. well, here's -- when she was asked about it, here is what the vice president said on another network. watch. >> the administration has proposed using federal funds, the money from the a

lawrence is pointing out chief meteorologist lawrence karnow. here's how this could easily have, you know, hit a car or somebody could serious damage. when you saw the size of those boulders. hundreds of pounds, maybe a 1000 pound boulder coming down. and that's scary. you're driving out there now you really got to slow down. you don't know what's around the next corner. >> you could come right across from those giant boulders, of course, of the aftershocks. we could have more stuff still coming down. now we've kind of seen this afternoon. we're looking at something in the central valley. this one coming as a 4.8 still waiting to see to make sure this is real or just something related to that whole swarm of quakes that moved in across the sierra nevada. and look at that. that 5.9. that's just south topaz lake. magnitude. 4.8 there near lee vining and you can see numerous earthquakes up and down the spine of the sierra nevada and they continue tonight. so they fall along this fault zone. what's known as the walker lane fault zone. an area where w

i'm very encouraged to hear that lawrence. thank you for having me. say this, he is right, we need support on all sides. whatever urging from senator manchin is to take a stand and really understand what's happening here, in texas. let's be clear, the bills that we are facing right now in texas are the greatest of voter suppression be seen in decades. what i can tell you personally, my grandmother was born in 1917 and she told me stories growing up about how she had to take tests in texas, how she was not allowed to stand next to it white people in line, she was intimidated by that. this is what we're looking at now. when you tell a person with the disability that you won't be -- when you tell people working the graveyard shift that they can all work after hours that is the -- souls to the polls to celebrate our traditions. that's jim crow two point oh. that is what we're asking senator manchin to take a stand and to come in and intervene, to stop what we are dealing with in texas. this is what we are facing. >> representative jasmine crockett who gro

thanks, lawrence. >> thank you, rachel. thank you. >>> well, two of the people who were in the room in that meeting today with the president and vice president are going to be joining us tonight. the white house meeting about voting rights went on for much longer than the hour that it was scheduled for. and that's always a good sign about white house meetings, if they go on extra long. it was the kind of meeting, as i was just mentioning to rachel, that the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. used to have with the president of the united states, 60 years ago. 60 years ago. i'll ask our first guest, tonight, former-attorney general of the united states, eric holder, whether civil rights leaders will be having urgent voting-rights meetings with the president of the united states, 60 years from now. before today's white house meeting, vice president kamala harris returned to her alma mater for the first speech she has given there, as vice president of the united states. she said this. >> this is about all voters. it's about al

lawrence, many of us are processing our own trauma as we are putting this case together.staff members would get quite emotional as we were going through our presentation rehearsal sessions because we were watching the video footage we had seen for the very first time. all of us get our best to hold it together when we're on the senate floor, knowing the task we had in front of us, that in some ways it's cathartic for us to experience that as managers and process what happened in our own individual way. >> eric swalwell, a witness to history on january 6th entering the impeachment trial. his new book is and game, inside the impeachments of donald j trump. congressman, thank you for joining us tonight. >> my pleasure. >> coming up, texas republicans now claim they have absolutely no idea how a provision on overturning elections became part of their republican voter suppression bill. two texas democrats who blocked that bill will join us next. bill will join us next. everything felt like a 'no.' everything. but then ray went from no to know. with freestyle libre 14 day, now

it's about to get really hot and chief meteorologist lawrence karnow is here with the latest. has of how does it look. yeah, i think even tomorrow we're really going to feel these temperatures heating up. specially in these numbers are going to job today we are comfortable mid 80's may be the warmest spots today. >> tomorrow you get closer to triple digits by tomorrow afternoon. but not a year. you get enough of the sea breeze along the coastline. and i said cool up toward the beaches pretty wet out there as well with that drizzle on probably to see a little drizzle again overnight tonight. thank you. see the models here thinking of the fog and that drizzle popping up along the coastline early tomorrow morning. some of that patchy fog. you stand in the bay. the burning off faster tomorrow. and as a result, those temperatures are going to be heating up and even near the coastline. you can be sneaking a little bit of sunshine, not entirely clear, but little more sun than what we've had over the past few days warming up into san francisco temperatures in the 60's and the 70's the
