take on a chubby thor. you did it, man. you did it. you know, yeah, all right. i will take the win. hey, look. i i mean, that s that is what a powerful body looks like. your your power s in your core from belly to butt that s where the bulk of your mass is. chris hemsworth is built to be in movies but, you know, to each their own. so good to have the three of you with us tonight. former obama speechwriter, david lit. politico s eugene daniels, and npr s aisha roscoe. coming up, it s been 20 years since the 9/11 terror attack and we asked what s on your mind as we reflect today. we will share some more of your stories when we come back. stay close. close
i love it. but i am interested in your sense of what the political impact of this might be, particularly because we have been hearing more from some republicans of that tone from howard stern, including jim justice who is the governor of west virginia. he one of our columnists on msnbc daily, hayes brown, wrote for months, he has cajoled, nudged, and begged the people of west virginia to get vaccinated to protect themselves and those around them but the message is just not getting through. if you have not heard that message, here is part of what the governor has said. for god sakes, the living, how difficult is this to understand? why in the world do we have to come up with these crazy ideas and they re crazy ideas that that that the vaccine s got something in it and it s tracing people wherever they go. and the same very people that are saying that are carrying their cell phones around. i mean, come on. come on. aisha, what is our sense of whether or not any of this
that s where we start with our saturday night panel. david lit is a new york times best-selling author and former obama speechwriter. eugene daniels is white house reporter, co-author of politico s playbook and an msnbc political contributor. and aisha roscoe covers the white house for npr news. great to see all of you, and i would just love to get your thoughts on 9/11, where your head is at, what you did today, what s standing out to you at the end of this day? just if you could sum it up for us, the three of us. david, let me start with you. where is your head at tonight? well, it s it s so hard to talk about because, you know, like so many people, 9/11 was a national tragedy. and then, we all have our personal story that goes with it. and i i was one of the lucky ones but i was a 10th grader in new york city. went to school on the upper east side. and i remember being in mr. march s 10th grade english class and hearing that a plane hit the towers. i remember walking home
the country today are thinking about is 20 years of our lives knowing that this world would would never be the same. aisha, i wonder as we were just taking a look at the shot from lower manhattan at the national 9/11 memorial and museum of people around the two reflecting pools. on the footprint where the two towers once stood. and there, you see the tribute in light which is shining up. can be seen for miles and miles around here in new york. if you have never been, i strongly encourage you to go on your next trip to new york. it is very somber, it is very sad. but it is an amazing museum. i went yesterday for the first time. learned a ton about 9/11 and the hunt for bin laden that i did not know. aisha, i wonder how you are processing 9/11 based on where you were then, where you are now, and the scope of everything that s happened since then? yeah. it s such a a big question. i was in high school. when this happened, i remember, you know, someone saying, you know, a plane hit
vaccines.gov or planyourvaccine.com. i am also fascinated, david, at what ever guilting powers your mother has. my mother does it with a look. she just has she will just give you one of these. i seen that. yes. see? so you know. you know. david, eugene, aisha, stick around. we have got a little more to talk about. but first, stay tuned after the week for an encore presentation of memory box, echoes of 9/11. it s a feature documentary that tells the story of september 11th through never before seen personal recollections recorded in a video booth in the wake of 9/11. next here on msnbc and streaming exclusively on peacock. when we come back, why some americans are taking a very different look back. leaning into nostalgia like never before.
