sunday >> it's been nearly one year since a princeton university student was kidnaped while studying seas, and now we're hearing from her sister, who's demanding the u.s. government do more to find answers. this was the last known image of princeton doctoral student elizabeth kerkhoff, a hostage video seen on iraqi tv back in november. it's the first proof emma kerkhoff had that her sister was alive after she was kidnaped. both the u.s. and israeli governments say, by the militant group kataeb hezbollah last march. >> she looked terrified. she doesn't scare easily at all, elizabeth is studying in the u.s. on a student visa with dual russian and israeli citizenship. >> she traveled to baghdad for a research project, and her sister spoke to abc's joe o'brien. >> why do you think they took her? >> probably because they somehow figured out, um, that she's israeli and jewish. >> emma is now pushing u.s. policymakers to pressure iraq's government to free her sister. she believes iraqi officials hold the keys to elizabeth's survival because of the ties between iraq's government and that terr

bring in jl partner's scarlet maguire and princeton university's lauren wright. lauren, he said threat to democracy or talked about threat to democracy several times in the first few minutes of the speech. here is one. listen and i'll get your response. >> president biden: i see a future where defending democracy you don't diminish it, protect freedoms, not take them away. >> trace: you can see where the campaign is going, that is going to be a big push coming toward november. >> yes, way he started being strong against putin, talking about ukraine made sense. he transitioned to january 6, polling the catch up to him. perhaps voters should care more than they do and think about it more and talk about it more, it ranks among lowest issues on their list, that ordering, i was surprised by and didn't understand the strategy. >> trace: what about you beverly hallberg? we talked with kevin and a lot of people on social media said he sounded angry and spoke very fast, sometimes indecipherable. what did you think about the delivery, tone and tenor? >> he came out wanting

let's bring an republican strategist and attorney along with princeton university political scientistank you for coming on. you know, you kind of looked back, rewind the clock for months and we were aghast at anybody who would gather and protest against israel. and now they are so common and not only is it common but they are moving some of these polling numbers and they are pulling biden along with them. >> you are right. i think this is a new age democrat voting block it doesn't represent the working man. are a threat to democracy and they are for terrorist organizations like hamas. biden has this voting block that's very anti-american but i have to say i think the american people are being brainwashed by this left media that continues to say hamas is a victim just because israel is pushing back with it's mighty force and power. i will look at some of this polling coming out today. it was just said that about 58% of americans don't believe that israel is justified in pushing back so i think this is a very small minority of people that are protesting outside this lucrative fundraiser

and by the way i don't think princeton princeton university. so when someone at princeton was telling me this employs a single military historian, if you study history at princeton you will never encounter professors actually spends his time studying war but this is should not be an insight boys are interested in this stuff mean i remember i was interested in stuff and and you know military battles and how these things unfold in and who are the main actors and was patton you know how was patton as a general so on i grooved that as a kid and we do not offer most young boys access to a world of two fields of of human that correspond with what interests them. so then we wonder our boys don't read both. they don't want to read what, you know, their sisters are reading and that's fine. but we should make sure that they're reading something that. they will start and then be up night. you know, i feel like matt wants to say he did not groove on that kind of. no, i did groove. i distinctly sitting on the toilet hours moving on these like that like world

lecturer at princeton university. i'm surprised about those numbers.vering the situation at the border since the trump administration. but most of the legacy media have not. it's only been fairly recently a few of them have sort of dip their toe into coverage of the situation of the border. and yet it has become one of america's primary concerns, why? >> at the very fair critique. the images like the ones you just showed from casey's reporting are very concerning to people when they pay attention. it is a plurality of every single demographic or if you ask their top election issue including democrats is immigration. what is really hard for biden regarding the messaging on this is every single democrat including him on the 2020 democratic primary debate stage raise their hand for providing illegal immigrants publicly funded programs, housing, healthcare and big pull factors as the "new york times" and other outlets have reported. he has a direct handedness. then there is just the fact biden came into office promising a more humane approach to immigratio

i want to bring in princeton university professor lest, in history. don't want to call it the new normal. i don't know, maybe it's the new abnormal normal? >> well, i think, chris, i think your lead, how you framed the conversation is so important. we're in a moment where everything is in transition. everything is in flux. and so, you know, the standing assumptions about our politics, the standing assumptions about our relationships to each other are actually all kind of jumbled together. and so, you know, the best thing we can do is just buckle up. and focus on what's in front of us. and that is, in some ways, the future of the country. >> so i imagine you get this question, but in some critical moments in history, whether it was after columbine or after 9/11 or after the 2000 election. people would come up to me and say, i don't know how you're doing, but now i've gotten that question for the last couple of years easily, and i saw you share this piece on edge from daunte stewart, he wrote this, if there's anything that on my part and in these days t

and how can it possibly be worth it join me now, is frederick wary professor of sociology at princeton university and director of the debt collection lab, which tracks long-term consumer debt. professor. thank you for being here. the wealthy can afford it. the poor gets subsidized and the middle-class, the middle-class gets screwed, isn't that i'm pretty much it >> sadly, that is it a particularly at schools that are not high wealth in terms of their endowments. and so what we've seen is that it used to be about 25% of college students came for middle-class families and that's gone down to 18%. and it seems to be sliding still. and as you can imagine, if you are an average family and you're earning about $75,000 a year. the idea of applying to a place that's that expensive. it's just beyond your imagination the other problem too is that you may have parents who are still paying on their student loans. and so if they went to college, they're still paying. and so here again, the middle-class is losing ground we tend to focus on the so-called elite institutions like your own, when it comes to admiss

kenneth well is former executive director of human rights watch and visiting professor at princeton university. he says v i c j needed to order new measures to stop israel from obstructing aid. the weight, understand this is that, i mean, everybody looks at what's happening in gaza and sees the catastrophe on following. there's been, you know, one un report after the other about famine, widespread starvation, even increasing depths and the like. now, you know, israel says, oh, it's not all since everybody else has that all we, we want to why they did in fact and when everybody points out, is it history of obstructing a let's see in dribs and drabs to avoid mass death, but nothing, nothing near enough to avoid mass starvation, and it made its defensive argument before the court. and the court basically said, no, we don't believe you. and so it felt the need to issue this, the warning, it said it was not just a damaged image, samuel is setting units here for and we need new orders. the old orders are not enough. and so the way to understand this is really a complete repudiation of israel's effor

and by the way i don't think princeton prceto university. storian, if you sty history atactually spends his te ying war but this is should not insight boys are interested in this stuff mean i remember in stuff and and you know military tt■ how these things unfold in and who are the main actors and w patton you know how was patton as a general so on i grooved that as a kid and we do not offeraccess to a worls of of human that correspond with what interests them. so then we wonder our ys don' b. they don't want to read what, you know, theiristers are reading and that's fine. but we should make sure that they're readingey will start anp night. you know, i feel like matt wants to say he did not groove on that kind of. no, i did groove. stinctly sitting on the toilet hours moving on these ke atlas is history. i was william manchester's yeah but and biography of churchill's by far superior i will say but not at far many parents here i'm obviously a tiny person. right. i'm a smallson. i had grit, i had resilin i was ferocious, i wasssive i was pure

princeton went to germany a fee and then spent the of his academic career being a professor at princeton university and became one of the foremost students of fossil mammals in his state. now, at some, the conflict had come to point where it was inevitable that something dramatic, this idea, the catastrophe theory were parameters change and they hit the critical point and then something very radical happens and what happened was that i already mentioned that marsh had become the official paleontologist for the united states geological survey and was handsomely supported by the survey, both for his field collectors, but also for all of the work in his lab by technicians craftsmen and so on. but marsh apparently project was told to contact secretary of interior at the time and has the secretary of the interior send a letter to cope demanding that all of the that cope had collected going along with hayden and other early service bittorrent to the national museum. and that was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back just blew up and he was thinking like, what can i do about i clearly have to m

a brand-new study out of princeton and the university of chicago says those tax cuts did not pay for themselves as promised. they added to the deficit. mitch mcconnell is endorsing trump for president. he said it should be no surprise. it may have surprised some, the new york times says they have not talked in over three years, and you may recall what mcconnell said shortly after the january 6 attacks. >> there is no question, none. trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. no question about it. >> the house passed a new spending bill that will keep a portion of the government open for the fall. they still need to pass the other half come up it is strong process after repeatedly passing last-minute stopgap measures instead. biden's state of the union starts tonight. life coverage here on nbc bay area and nbc bay area apps. >> there are more details now, several guests will be in the crowd watching the speech, that includes superintendent lynn mackey. she will be attending with east bay congressman mark the salle. what mackey is hoping to hear f

to you live let's bring in steve liesman and vice chair allen blinder, now a professor at princeton, universitys of the testimony so far, anything else standout to you? >> actually i want to answer carl's question because lou breene wrote a piece this morning. lou breene points out back in 1999 it was a 5,500 word statement today it's under 1,000 the reason is the transparency from the fed, they're telling us in their statement, in their speeches, interviews with us where they're going, what they're doing. so the number comes in, a couple of basis points movement in the bond market. almost unchanged in the stock market because most of what i'm seeing here has been expected. and the way i think about it is the fed chair saying you know what, i'm sleeping tonight but i still got a gun under the pillow when it comes to inflation this idea that we are attentive to the inflation risk he says the risks are balanced they're not really balanced. which is that the inflation numbers are in a place right now where they have to prove to the fed they're coming down. the fed is not taking this decline on fai

and that is where we start this hour, with princeton university professor and political scholar eddiele, opinion editor for the "washington post" and author of "prompt 2024," newsletter -- >> i signed up. >> and republican strategist mike murphy. all are msnbc political analysts. i want to begin with you, mike. do you agree with that assessment of pence not endorsing trump? and how big a deal is this right now? >> well, it -- the problem for trump is every single serious person who worked for him is horrified at the idea he'd come back. the problem is in the current populist rage republican party they don't have as much swat as they would have back in the good old days when we were a serious grownup conservative party. the other problem is that joe biden's political strength is so weak right now, you know, we know from history that people want to fire the incumbent president, they put up with a really weak opponent sometimes. i'm glad to see it. these people are patriots. it is the collapse of the old vichy wing of the party that said we put up with him, we can kind of handle him. the
