affairs and director of china and the world program at columbia university iran derived from princeton university and served as a deputy assistant secretary of state for east asia affairs. then w we get the professor of f science at the university and the center of japan studies. i think i'm going to get each panelist opening remarks for five minutes or so to set the scene for us. >> you summarized very nicely recent events and they want to pay respects to our friend victor and congratulations for ten years of a program here will have the chance to commemorate e it later and we are grateful for the opportunities together a. it's often said in almost every opening statement about global politics that we are living in a strategic period you could say anytime the last 20, 25 years but i think if you look at the situation today, there is more strategic uncertainty around primarily the american world and than we have seen even perhaps near the close of the cold war and i would suggest a good way to think about it as three members, 704320. if you think about the last 70 years it's been largely about a

former republican congressman from florida where the president will be tonight and professor at princeton university and the polling director at harvard's institute of politics. congressman, i must go to you first. this is your state. are you surprised that the president is making an immigration crackdown his primary focus? is it a winning issue in florida, which has a whole lot of immigrants? >> it is not a winning issue. 2018 showed us that. we can talk about that in a second. but to peter's erl whier point i think this is the president's very reflexive political behavior. rarely have we seen a white house occupant who is so ready to grab at any political tool he can within his official capacity on a moment's notice to try to reset a narrative for his own political purposes. presidents make policy clearly through a political lens and try to message that but this president is very reflexive. recall, you. >> peter referred to some of the stories around the election, recall the stories of the caravans that really never manifested themselves in the way the administration warned. sarah sanders said the

. >>> joining us is julian zelizer, professor of public affairs at princeton university.urprise the president insulting meghan markle. he throws insults, especially when he feels, he's been affronted. the fact that he's telling us this is fake, that he didn't do it, when it's on tape. the president saying don't believe what you're hearing. >> he raises doubts and creates a confusion, and this is a small story, but this multiplies into big stories from voter fraud to other issues about the economy, and it leaves people a little bit unsettled and he tries to use that to his political advantage. >> that's a small part of the story. the big part of the story to take the real big overview is this is 75 years to the week this week that the u.s. and uk together basically, well, saved europe and rewrote the global power structure for another 75 years, and at this very moment, both of these countries are moving inward and rejecting the power structure that they designed. that's the backdrop of this whole event. >> that's a big picture look at what's going on, so those relationship

. >> guest: cornell west and robby george are professors outs princeton university. both of them are two of he most distinguished political philosophers in america today. they're on absolutely opposite side, robby george is a conservative catholic, social conservative, not just economic conservative. open about his beliefs but abortion gay marriage cheer conservative. cornell west is the honorary chairman of the --ics socialists of america. he is very open about his strong progressive views. cornell west and robby george couldn't be more different. they call each other brother. they have a rowe road show and talk about their common moral principles and deep disagreement the way these moral principles. zero contempt for each other. they mold what we want. done it at aei and both of the -- they're both friends of moisture and it's inspirational. i have a partner i work with, we have a traveling road show named john paul the former general counsel of the naacp. now a professor at berkeley law, university of california berkeley law and professor of african-american studi

. >>> i want to bring in eddie glod, princeton university center and chairman for the center of african-american. and here is the thing. former congressman beto o'rourke and pete buttigieg scheduling meeting with stacey abrams and many think it is a attempt to reach out to black voters and that strikes me as outdated form of politics because if they want to reach out, they should talk to black folks and focus on the issues. what is your take. >> it makes sense that beto is talking to stacey abrams after he rolled out his own plan of voter access. it makes sense that mayor pete would want to talk with stacey abrams given his own attempt to expand his outreach into black communities. but you're absolutely right, geoff, if they're going to do this, they have to go directly to black voters and they have to talk more about substantive policy issues and criminal justice reform and talk about health care and education. they'll have to talk about jobs. and they're go to have to talk about it in ways that are specific to black communities. so it is not enough to have a photo on with someone like stacey a

princeton university professor eddie glaud. hi heidi prezbela, eugene robinson, and also joining us robert costa. robert, let me start with you, this is the daily, hourly, second by second existence of covering donald trump even when he manages to elevate himself for a few moments he's always, always, always, always donald trump. >> that's exactly right. and this is a split screen of a trip so far for president trump stirring up all of this controversy from when he was in the united kingdom to now when he is in france and even in ireland. yet at the same time his public remarks when it comes to his scripted speeches have the trappings of what a president would usually say at times like this. he can't resist the pull of domestic politics at almost every turn. >> the attack on mueller seems so senseless, so mindless, even for donald trump. robert mueller is a lot of things, a fool i've never -- robert mueller doesn't have a lot of political enemies. he doesn't have a lot of domestic political adversaries. he defended the united s

i want to bring in julian zelezer, a historian at princeton university.n. >> thanks for having me. >> what are your thoughts on this redesign? >> it does look a little like trump's airplane from the campaign. it's not totally surprising, though. president trump has complained about air force one and even made remarks about the kennedy colors, which are the colors that came about in 1962 and remain on the design. and he likes to leave his marks o every institution that he can. so why leave air force one out of the picture? >> that's true. good point. so this will be the first makeover on the iconic plane since jfk was in office. it's been continually updated, but why hasn't there been a makeover before then? >> well, i think some icons are worth keeping. and that was a very special moment in america history, 1962, when the kennedy couple, president kennedy and his wife basically put the design in place, both the colors and the lettering. and that was an important moment that a lot of americans like to respect and keep that tradition. and i think that's the

joining the conversation, eddie glide, chairman of the department of african-american studies at princeton universitynd joining us from washington on the 2020 beat for us, garrett haake. garrett, how is the campaign doing? is this a strategy from them? it looks like one. >> yes, you heard from a lot of campaign allies particularly on capitol hill saying the hullabaloo over this is just politics essentially at its worse. what we are seeing is a bad-faith effort by other campaigns to try to punch up at joe biden and make an issue out of something all of these politicians if they have been in the arena a while instinctively understand, you have to do business with odious characters or people you don't really like or respect sometimes to get things done. i think the danger here for biden is this plays until a couple traps for him. the idea he's out of touch within the party and the fact these original comments came at a closed-door fund-raiser, even though there was a pool reporter in the room, that is why we know he said this in the first place, plays into this whole idea of an old washington in which b

as a graduate of princeton, n.y.u., and university of virginia bob did something quite unusual for a privileged young man of our generation. which was to volunteer for military service at the height of the vietnam war. to sign up for the marine corps and lead a platoon in combat took uncommon courage and patriotism. to be a united states marine with a name like robert swan mueller iii, well, that took some toughness, too. [laughter] >> it is telling that after two very successful decades as a lawyer in and out of government, bob gave up a partnership in a blue chip law firm to work in the criminal division of the u.s. attorney's office in washington, d.c. in addition to absorbing what had to be a massive pay cut, bob also agreed to a position with considerably less rank, power, and prestige than the one he held in the justice department a few years earlier. at the time too many young men were dying -- being killed in the streets of our nation's capital. and bob mueller was determined to do something about it. then as we all know after a few days on the job as f.b.i. director, bob was

princeton. next guy, two degrees from harvard. my friend to my right, undergraduate, notre dame law school. flip the page, there's me. piedmont international university. [laughter] rep. walker: i say that to say god can take you anywhere when you are allowing him to lead the path. that is what he is asking for you this evening, tomorrow, and throughout the rest of your life. in the last 4.5 years, i have had the opportunity to travel to many places and many countries. new zealand, australia, romania, lithuania, south korea and north korea at the dmz, i've looked at the soldiers of north korea, i have worked and been in a syrian refugee camp 15 kilometers below the syrian border. there is no place that has moved me that i've traveled than being in normandy. i had the chance to go out there. and i remember standing and looking at the stars of david and the crosses lying perfectly, standing over the grave of a 20-year-old north carolinian who was willing to pay the ultimate price, looked out over those hills into the valley, and as you gaze down from the hill, it is amazing, you can look out across into the atlantic ocean. some of you from a historical

university. by 1905 it was producing more self-made black millionaires than harvard, yale and princeton combined. the 40s, and 50s, and 60s led our country to men committed to marriage. led our country in commitment to business ownership. we now have a high percentage of men in college. and my degree by the way was bio biology and i do not believe in reparations. i do believe in restitution. let's point to the party that was part of slavery, kkk, jim crow and has killed over 40% of our black babies, 20 million of them. the state of california, 75% of our black boys cannot pass standard read and writing tests, a democratic state. so, yes, let's play restoration -- let's play restitution. how about the democratic party pay for all the misery brought to my race. and those after we learn our history decide to stay there, they should pay also. they're complicit. and every white american, republican or democrat who feels guilty because of your white skin, you should need to pony up also. that way be get past this reparation and recognize this country has given us greatness. look at this panel. doesn't

explain to the american people, to laymen across america who may not have gone to princeton, who may not have gone to university of virginia law school, exactly why, what he found. >> so joe, i think you're right, and i think he can do that, and i think what trump -- but i don't think it will be staggering, most people know that trump is corrupt and criminal like in his behavior and thinking, he has told us that, the president himself, but what bob mueller, what's so frightening about him for trump is that he will visually represent good versus evil. he will visually send that branding out to america over the course of two days, and that scarce trump more than the truth. the truth's already out. it's come out of trump's mouth. he is corrupt. still ahead on "morning joe" there have several big developments on the immigration front, from a shake up in leadership to a devastating image of those suffering along the southern border. we'll run through it all. we'll get a check on the children being denied their most basic needs. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back.
