eugene rodríguez: muchas gracias damián, gracias. damián trujillo: mira, tenemos un nuevo documental, platícanos un poco de, de qué se trata, es fascinante. eugene rodríguez: pues este documental que se llama, "puntos de vida", se trata de un viaje a yucatán, que, que fuimos mi esposa, marie astrid, y con sus dos alumnas, isabel y jocelyn, en marzo del año pasado, para estudiar bordado maya; y fueron a varios pueblos mayas, y entraron en las casas de esas comunidades, y aprendieron mucho de, de la belleza de, el valor de esas tradiciones, fue, es un documental muy, muy bonito. damián trujillo: estamos viendo un poco de video, y los colores son los que son fascinantes, ¿sabes? del, del vestuario, de las paredes, de cómo decoraban los restaurantes, hay mucho color en yucatán. eugene rodríguez: sí, parece que, sí, el color es parte de la vida ahí; yo creo que tal vez por, porque es tierra tropical ¿no?, y la gente usa colores, y hacen sus propios, pinta y, cosas de la naturaleza. damián trujillo: entonces, se ve que es v

eugene, your reaction is open in your paper? >> yeah that is exactly right that he ran this campaign about local schools on his first day he sees this control of the schools from localities. he bans the teaching of critical race theory which is not being taught in virginia schools. so that is irrelevant. except we also bans the teaching of divisive -- you can't teach american history and race without raising divisive concepts. that is pretty divisive. and then of course he invalidates mask mandates that have been imposed by a local school boards that are supported by parents in the school districts. and, now, there is a big question as to whether -- he has been taken to court by a number of school districts. i suspect he might lose. but -- you know it's all about the culture wars first couple weeks at least an office are all about culture wars and not about the kind of technocratic get it done optimistic government that he promised. >> and, mike, eugene summed it up there. invalidating of mask mandates, banning of divisive conce

eugene chausovsky. _ could always go back in. eugene chausovsky, thank _ could always go back in. eugene chausovsky, thank you - could always go back in. eugene chausovsky, thank you so - could always go back in. eugene chausovsky, thank you so much | chausovsky, thank you so much indeed from washington and therefore bring us up—to—date with that story. the former us president barack obama has led tributes to the actor sir sidney poitier, who's died at the age of 94. mr obama said the star had "opened doors for a generation of actors". sidney poitier made his name in a series of ground—breaking films which challenged racial stereotypes. he was the first black man to win an oscar for best actor, and his success paved the way for generations of other black artists. our correspondent lizo mzimba looks back on the life of a hollywood icon. # in the heat of the night... sidney poitier�*s virgil tibbs, a man of authority... i'm a police officer. ..intelligence and a steely determination never to back down — the kind of qualities that defined poitier on screen and off. he made

eugene, i'm going to start with you. when you listen to committee members raskin and chairman thompson talk about pence, very careful with their words. they aren't overtly threatening subpoenas. they seem to be almost appealing to his patriotism, to his sense of identity as an institutionalist. does the committee really think that he's going to cooperate? >> i think so, and i think just based on exactly what you said, how they are kind of coaxing him into it. like remember, mike, we are patriots. you love this country. don't forget they threatened to hang you on january 6th. all of those things are ways to hopefully tone down the temperature for him and make it not as tough. i will say, you know, whether he goes voluntarily or not, he is almost as key to this conversation as anyone else, right, other than donald trump. there's no other big kahuna than mike pence. he received the most pressure, all of the anger from both donald trump and his allies throughout this process, before, during, and after january 6th. so he has

. >> joining me now, msnbc political contributor eugene daniels. he's a white house reporter for politico and co-author of "playbook." and the renee graham, associate editor for "the boston globe." renee, when you look at that polling, what does that tell you that the one thing, the one thing americans can agree on is that the country is headed in the wrong direction and that we're too divided. >> well, you know, interestingly, back in 2014, there was a piece for "the daily beast" looking at the history of that question. where is the country? are you happy with the direction of the country? overwhelmingly, decade after decade, americans have not been happy with the direction of their country. the one time that the numbers were very high that they were happy with the direction of their country was just after 9/11, and that dropped off to about -- it was about 72% after 9/11, and that dropped off to 40%. so there was always a level of dissatisfaction in this country, and that was without dealing with the pandemic that's reaching its second year. you

eugene, you're next here. certainly, speaker pelosi was the big legislative star of the obama years. she and reid forged quite a strong bond. what can you tell us about their relationship? >> yeah, i think that's another thing that's really important here is about how close he was to his colleagues, right? you heard the senator just a bit ago talk about, you know, his support for her, and that's something that you hear from a lot of different people, whether they were up and coming folks like president obama or even alexandra ocasio-cortez who says that he has reached out to her or he had reached out to her multiple times over the years. and that relationship with nancy pelosi is something that, as you look back at the obama years, the biden as vice president years, is pinnacle and is really important about -- it tells you how those eight years worked out, because working hand-in-glove, both nancy pelosi and senator reid, as teammates, and as equals, in pushing through the legislation from president obama that

i don't know if you were to talk about eugene debs. why. why has there been no socialist present joy, although i should say when he signed his? obviously we can, leaks revealed how the d n c tried to destroy his candidacy is a socialist and the only became president. so, you know, eugene debs is one of the dissenting heroes that i try to highlight throughout the book. and some of them people have heard of like, you know, john quincy adams and abraham lincoln who were and the mexican american war. but eugene deb stands out because he was, you know, for time candidate for president under the socialist party, gets about a 1000000 votes in 1912 and almost the same in 1920. he runs from federal prison in 1920 and his campaign button. se for president convict, you know, 9372 or whatever. i mean, it was kind of incredible. why though, is that the socialist moment until bernie sanders obviously because bernie sanders, one of his early projects, was a documentary about eugene debs, which i think is instructing. but why? well, the united states has t

joining us exclusively is eugene chiang, chairman at ubs securities -- eugene qian. thank you for joining us. i am actually curious i know about ubs, you haven't really wanted to increase your stake in the securities business. we know goldman and j.p. morgan have already secured ownership. does that give you everything of your position? eugene: 51%. we were the first to apply for majority control in november of 2018. we are very happy with where we are. however, as you said, we are closing monetary policy. we want to increase our stake 67% already and we are waiting for the final regulatory approval. beyond that, we will continue to monitor the situation. we are celebrating the 50th anniversary this month for the opening of the ubs securities in china. shery: what is the upside of that partnership, that you are not going 100% in for full ownership, just seeking a 67% stake? eugene: in china, you take things step step, and so far, we are working on our partnership with the chinese government. a good partnership where both sides are bringing good things to the joint ve

still with us to discuss, eugene robinson and mike murphy. eugene, before trump dumped the call, he was, again, relitigating the 2020 election. listen. >> how come biden couldn't direct 20 people for a press? how come when he went to speak in different locations, nobody came to watch? but all of a sudden, he got 80 million votes? nobody believes? that >> if you forgive me, maybe because the election wasn't about you. >> to steve's point, at the end, 2020 was absolutely a referendum on trump. and voters rejected him. if he insist on making 2022 about him and his grievances, won't that hurt republicans? the big winning moment for republicans was glenn youngkin in virginia. and he didn't go anywhere near trump. >> yeah. and so, donald trump makes 2022 about him. that is a net positive for democrats. look, democrats got their majority in the senate because donald trump gave them to senate seats in georgia. they are not frankly anticipating winning. it may be in the back. but donald trump gave it to them. he already said that democrats, stacey abr

still with us is eugene robinson and bill crystal. bill, the minority leader has talked about perhaps and men didn't the 1887 electoral vote count act. the electoral count act. which many people didn't know existed. but it's something that happened that governs whatever happens on january six. you tweeted today that maybe he will, maybe he won't. but that is not where our attention should be focused. >> i am strongly for reforming it. i personally vibe with the judge that will introduce that bill as well as the other two bills. and move the balls. which would be the easiest way to explain it to people. -- and to happen in terms of the state legislators on january six itself. -- having said that, that bill has not been -- yet. there are two other bills, which are good. bills if the republicans want some strike part to it they should not be debated on the floor. but i'd suggest that it may will be imposed to take out the parts that they like the most. they can refuse to let them even be debated. in that situation we now face the child l

joining us now is eugene and mark. welcome back. how do you think the president did in that press conference? and to that very specific point that we've done well, do you think he conveyed that well? >> i think he did. we all know repetition is key to getting a message through. i think president biden today did something he did shouldn't have done a little -- he should do a lot more often in the future. he stood up for two hours and took questions from reporters, and talk directly to the american people. he set the agenda. he wrote tomorrow's headlines. a bunch of them actually. i think that's what he needs to do, to take the initiative as he tries to get what he can of build back better through congress. as he prevents potential international crises like russia and ukraine, as he deals with covid, as he tries to fight inflation. he does have a lot of support. but i think the first step is to take the initiative and go out there and talk to people directly a lot more. >> mark, let's play a little bit of what the president said later

eugene and mark, we want you to zine in on your top trade idea eugene, what are you going for >> well, i'm going for intel i tell you, the discussion we're having today, a lot of people don't like intel however, it's trading at a pe of nine growing the next five years at seven. very strong balance sheet. basically in an area where semi-conductors are going to be in high demand, and looking at what just happened, texas instruments at 22 times earnings also very strong in autos, in sensors and the like i think thatintel our texas instruments are a way to play this market where you're not getting paid for higher valuations or higher pes intel over the next five years will continue to perform and because it sold off after missing the last two quarters with its earnings tomorrow, you're going to set yourself up being here for a bit of outperformance in the course of the next year while providing downside protection. >> all right it's held up better than the rest so far this year. mark, what's your pick >> i'm going to stick with doma. which is a name that went public by spac last summer. i

still with us now is eugene robinson is mark mckinnon. good evening again to you. welcome back to both of you. eugene, how do you think the president did in that press conference, and to that very specific point of we've actually done well but there's more to do, do you think he conveyed that well? >> i actually think he did. we all know repetition is key to getting a message through, and so i think president biden today did something he probably should have done a while ago and that he should do more -- do a lot more often in the future, and that is he stood up for two hours and talked and took questions from reporters and talked directly to the american people. he set the agenda. he wrote to -- and i think that's what he needs to do to take the initiative as he tries to get, you know, what he can of build back better through congress as he confronts potential international crises like russia and ukraine, as he deals with covid, as he tries to fight inflation. he does have a lot on his plate. but i think the first step is to take the initiative and to go out there

i'm halley jackson, along with pete williams, kelly o'donnell, garrett hake, eugene robinson, melissa murray, and a former clerk to justice sandra day o'connor. i'm glad to be with all of you. i want to set up how this is going to go. there is a process that will need to unfold as it relates to the retirement of justice breyer. the justice needs to announce the retirement officially. then president biden will lay out who he would like to choose to replace the justice. then, the ball goes to capitol hill with back and forth on the senate. we know there will be a bunch of meetings with senators, there will be a hearing with the judicial committee, then they vote to send the nominee to the full senate. that only needs a simple majority. if it's tied, it can be sent to the full senate. then a final confirmation vote with 100 senators, then it only takes 50 plus 1 vote. what is a typical timeline? on average it takes two months from a justice announcing the retirement to the final senate vote. justice barrett only waited 27 days, right before the election. it took clarence thomas 100 days

and eugene thompson -- and eugene robinson is for the washington post, an msnbc political analyst. give us your reaction to the totality of what we have learned today about this request for a grand jury. and if you will address that issue that i was addressing with jeff, what about a federal investigation, what used to be your judge job in georgia, a federal investigation of the same situation? >> well, i am glad to be with you, thank you for having me back. i was not surprised to see the district attorney asked for the special grand jury. i think she was a little bit late in doing so. really this is the belt and suspenders for her on whether she has enough to prove the case. but they deal about this before, is so much evidence in the case tape that is out there right now. and there is a plethora of public statements made by these potential witnesses in the public record. as you said, there was a new story attached to the letter here. i think she is trying to get some people under oath. i don't think she needs that. it tells me that she may be looking at a broader investigation, is

eugene daniels, white house correspondent for politico. and former united states attorney, joyce alene vance, who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. she hosts the podcasts sisters in law. along with kimberly atkins, jill wine-banks, and barbara queen. good evening to you. all let start with the text which some of the january six committee has. some of which that they are asking for between sean hannity, donald trump, mark meadows and others in trump world. i would say, from reading sean hannity side of the texas it looks like he might have been the adult in the room trying to call this thing off and indicating to everybody around that this is what he thought was going to happen on january six and did not look like the right pam. >> these text messages and emails certainly illustrate the proposition that as a prosecutor, as an investigator, if you don't go looking for evidence you are certainly not going to find it. and sometimes when you go looking the five things that do surprise you. because the tenor of these communications really

this is my uncle eugene. only the only the two boys survived uncle eugene and this is my dad. it's very odd when i know when when you you know, your dad as your dad a mature, man, and then you see this baby and you it is something in congress about there's some kind of cognitive dissonance there, but there's my dad so i go off. i become a journalist. i come back home after a few years. and my dad takes me to see my uncle well, he remembers a little more about my grandmother because he was older when my grandmother died and he was very generous with me and the information he shared and this is a picture the last time i saw my this the tall one is my dad and there's my uncle eugene. he shared a lot of information with me and what we discovered what he shared with me. was that my grandmother who would have been the jefferson descendant was six feet tall. she had long straight hair hanging down her back. she was very sweet. she played the piano and she sang. and she cooked he said well a little boy would remember that his mother was sweet and cook. but it's the six feet tall that

eugene sticks around. when we come back, the unheralded officials at the state and local level who stood up to the disgraced ex-president's efforts to overturn an election he clearly lost. the authors of the new book "the steal" will be our next guests. >>> plus the supreme court's conservative justices showing signs of skepticism about the biden administration's vaccine mandates to fight coronavirus, which is surging everywhere. we'll look at what today's arguments tell us about which way the court might rule. >>> and we are nearing the point at which we learn to live with covid rather than eradicate, right? that's what a number of former biden medical advisor are now advising him to do. our medical expert weighs in later in the hour. >>> and right now, in louisville, colorado, president biden and first lady jill biden are surveying the devastation from those wildfires from last week.

joining us, eugene samuels and jonathan lemire. and deborah edwards of maryland running for her former house seat. jonathan, the president said that the climate could be signed, but look behind chair number two, it's joe manchin tasked with that, writing that part. what are the chances of that working out? >> certainly, senator manchin has been a thorn in his side in this white house in the past year. he has signaled support, first on climate measures so we'll see if a deal can be struck. but certainly, there's frustration among white house aides it's come to this. the president, we heard in that news conference wednesday saying, quote, chunks of his agenda could still get through here, perhaps taking it individually, although speaker pelosi cast a little doubt on that. at the very least, it seems the package is going to have to get slimmed down. there's a chance for it to become reality. aides have signaled this, including white house chief of staff ron klain in an interview saying the white house is going to try to use the presid

eugene, how do you break professor rosen's recommendations for the coverage of january 6th? >> well, first of all, lawrence, happy new year to you, and happy new year to mr. rosen who -- prescription for covering freak show and -- we -- no big buildup and if there is genuine news main then you can boil that down and say this or that or the other. not necessarily broadcast clips of his rantings and -- if indeed they are the rantings that we have heard before. he is a former president. on the other side of what happened on a split screen, we have the government of the united states marking this tragic anniversary and as democratic leadership speaker of the house joe biden's president, kamala harris, this country marking a awful day in the life of our country. that is what we cover. donald trump -- like the -- sideshow he is. >> professor rosen, for -- previous to donald trump, the notion was that pretty much everything your president says's news, or is newsworthy. if it isn't something you that haven't heard before, it might still new been ooze worthy. how would you define the

still with us eugene robinson and bill kristol. bill, the minority leader has talked about perhaps amending the 1887 electoral vote count act, the electoral count act which many people didn't know existed but it's the thing that governs what happens on january 6th. you tweeted today maybe he will, maybe he won't, but that's not really where our attention should be focused. >> i'm strongly for reforming it, and personally if i'd been in charge of democrat strategy i would have introduced that bill as well as the other two bills. it's the easiest to complain to people. we had this chaos. having said that, that bill has not been introduced yet. there are two other bills which are good bills. they should be debated on the floor and suggest amendments, and it may well be they'll get some votes to take out the parts they like the most. they've refused to even let them be debated. and that's the situation we now face with the john lewis act. >> eugene robinson, we're interested in hearing what the president and vice president have to say

eugene daniels. and former united states attorney joyce vance who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. let's start with you and the texts. some the committee has and others they are asking for. i will say from reading sean hannity's side of the text, looks like he might have been the adult in the room indicating this is what he thought would happen on january 6 did not look like the right plan. >> these text messages and emails illustrate as a prosecutor and investigator if you do not go looking for evidence you are not going to find it and sometimes when you go looking you find things that do surprise you. this shows just how serious they were. there is perhaps a heightened level of awareness that the big lie was just that. the big lie. finding proof to illustrate the point is critical. not just for congress' work and telling the american people the story of what happened. >> on our air the committee member schiff described hannity as more than just a fox host. what do the texts tell you about th

so the first sex manuals were about the positive if the negative side of eugenics, what was get a eugenics is sterilizing people positive eugenics was encouraging the quote unquote right people to have sex and that's kind of how sex advice in america is grown and same in the uk and so i was interested in that notion. wow, yes, quite enjoy but especially what seems like a silly book, but well, i mean really they even the title alone kind of suggests that it's going to be a little tongue and cheek or you know, right but it's it really isn't she that's fascinating. yes mating. peter was there a book that you would have liked to have seen included in in american that has not. putting on the spot. i know. yes. no, i hadn't thought of that probably my thoughts first go to an encyclopedia, which is a different kind of aspiration. the world book was very important to to me and you know, i would read the world book in much the way that jess was reading the dictionary and it was clear that world book for example was designed specifically for this aspirational purpose and to the extent. i mean it sen

eugene, part of your beat is covering specifically vice-president harris. i want to put up on the screen what is in the vice-president's portfolio. immigration, voting rights, filibuster reform, climate change, increased union memberships, supply chain crisis, increased internet actions, france relations, she did a foreign trip to paris and also to singapore in this first year. you know, eugene, one of the things we hear, particularly from people who care about the vice-president, is why is joe biden handing her all these horrible assignments? why is he dumping all this stuff on her, as opposed to thinking, did anybody ever think that she wants to do these things? particularly voting rights, that she has some agency in what she wants to work on? >> really easy issues that you just lined out there, right? the thing that i think you are 100% correct on is that vice-president harris has not wanted to -- and i talked to a lot of people in the administration and her office. she didn't come in wanting to not do really tough stuff, right. the way it's been put to

joining us now jonathan lemire, and eugene daniels. getting senator graham on board, if the white house were to pick judge childs, would certainly help in a 50/50 senate because he might bring some other republicans with him, right? >> right, andrea. obviously in a 50/50 senate, there's no margin for error here. look, there's no sign that the biden white house will face any democratic defections. many people watching this show and this network certainly have had moments of probable frustration at senator manchin and senator sinema for not going along with the biden legislative agenda but they have been backing his judges. manchin has said so, and today talking to reporters said, indeed, though he wanted of course a thorough and fair review of all the candidates that he would, you know, his inclination was of course to support who the president would want, assuming she, and we do know that it will be a she, qualified. they would like to get republican support. some of the candidates they have floated have received republican backing pre

get it passed and then begin that all-important midterm campaign. >> and eugene, when you talk about blaming manchin and sinema and letting the frustration boil over, you're pointing out that many hill democrats are upset with schumer's strategy. so, have they burned the bridges or can they bring them back in the fold? >> it seems like they're going to definitely try to bring them back to the fold. there's frustration that there was the press to get -- rally around manchin and sinema, telling people to go to call their offices, telling people to isolate them and protest them. that was never going to work. and i talked to a lot of white house aids early on in this process in the build back better saga. that said that. especially for joe manchin, running around and saying -- calling him a racist, which happened quite a bit when it came to voting rights; telling him he was a bad person, that was not going to work. so, now the party both senate leadership and the white house are trying to refigure how they're going to restart this relationship. we've already seen how the president himsel

ashley parker, pulitzer prize-winning white house bureau chief with the whales per post, eugene daniels -- and jeremy bash, former chief of staff at the cia and the pentagon. ashley i turn to you first. this january six committee needs witnesses, with firsthand knowledge of what went down on capitol hill. walk us through how critical mike pence's. and let's get real. if mike pence does not cooperate, what are the actual consequences? because thus far, it seems like the consequences to turn on trump or worst. >> it's interesting. mike pence is incredibly critical in the run up to january six. he was the critical person, who the former president and all of his aides, his attorneys, people in trump's orbit, we're putting pressure on, to as we now know, overturn the results of the election. the former vice president was in frequent contact, including on january 5th. with the very tough conversation again on the morning of january 6th. when he again told the president and what we know was a very unpleasant conversation, that he was not going to do. on the actual day after that conversation,

joining me for inside analysis are nbc news correspondent carol lee, eugene scott of the "washington post," democratic senator clare mccaskill, and stephen hayes. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >> announcer: the longest running show in television history. this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> and a good sunday morning. just last week we said president biden was in desperate need of a reset, his polling numbers falling in particular among african-americans and there is a fear that he will be sunk from a lack of enthusiasm by the very voters who put him into office. just like that, mr. biden was thrown a lifeline with the news that justice stephen breyer would retire at the end of his term. president biden would be assigning a black woman on the supreme court, proving that elections have consequence and see they matter. that would give mr. biden a political win after disa appointments over voting rights and build back better. of course, replacing breyer with another liberal won't change the tilt, but president biden has a chance to put real points on the board and at

why, eugene does majority leader schumer say let's take this thing to a vote. we know what they're going to do. >> yeah, exactly, and it's a little odd to have a majority leader put his senators in this position to take a tough vote that he kind of already knows what the answer is on that. and that's another issue that people have is trying to figure out, okay, so biden can't have a plan because he is not in the senate, the plan is the persuasion at this point, and what he can do, but then you have chuck schumer, that's where people are like, well, how -- what is your plan and right now the plan that he has has been outlined and, that where -- that is where they're at. i will say, though, the anger from voting rights a advocates at president biden and chuck schumer, it's not going anywhere. because if there's no actual resolution to this, then they don't care. they also are upset because it's taken so long. the president had a speech last summer about voting rights, and then he kind of went straight to being full-fledged and focused on this. the president is go
