generally i think overt racism is a pretty bright line. when i look at the situation involving samantha bee i was not advocate of her getting fired, maybe getting suspended something more than a slap on the wrist. pbs applauded her for apologizing and put her back on the air apology deflecting and smug and sneering default setting where she said oh, i didn t want to hurt anyone except for dead cruz, by the way my apology does not apply men. i don t care what they think. this is all a distraction and the real thing that should have been the issue and that s the media s fault. it didn t feel very contrite to me. bill: how about that, adrienne do her bosses not necessarily agree with her comments. i do agree with guy here that perhaps a suspension was more appropriate. again, samantha bee was not, you know, huge difference bottom line between making very racist comments which
the table because we have got to have a denuclearized north korea. bill: that from the white house earlier today. president trump gearing up for a big week. first, trade at the g-7 summit in canada. then all eyes go on singapore. those in the know are warning everyone to keep your expectations modest. michael an juan former spokesman for president trump s and research fellow at hillsdale college. how are you doing, michael. thanks. police in politico trump and bolton. trump himself has driven the preparation on little with national security team outside of secretary of state mike pompeo. i don t whether that s true or not but have you got a big problem with that, why? i don t have a big problem with that i think the process always has to match the president and match the president s style of preparation and so on. he clearly trusts mike pompeo a lot. even before secretary pompeo became secretary of state. the president encristed him with getting the ball rolling towards talks o
13 angry democrats pushing for the witch-hunt. isn t it ironic? like rain on your wedding day. bill: oh my. sandra: i think we have all got that in our head this morning after that tweet from the white house. john roberts, thank you. bill: west virginia democrat senator joe manchin now saying he regrets backing hillary clinton s election 2016. he is even hinting that he could back president trump s bid for re-election. manchin telling politico endorsing her was a mistake. it was a mistake politically. chris stirewalt here to analyze. how are you, sir? well, brother bill. bill: nothing focuses the mind quite like the possibility of defeat. what s going on with the windshield here with senator manchin? look, i think manchin and you know it s west virginia politics when manchin basically said, look, she bribed me. she offered to build a dam in southern west virginia. she offered these projects, work on these projects and it was exchange. i didn t want to back her because of wh
bill: did not need to use the word. did not need to use the word. big difference between roseanne making racist comments about valerie jarrett vs. what samantha bee was doing here? bill: what s the difference? there is a new standard in america today. there is a new standard. first of all, let s be clear that president trump has been using derogatory language during the campaign and still president of the united states a lot of those come from the top. bill: i want to get guy in here. voters can make that decision to fire him if they so choose when it s the at the appropriate time. my only conclusion to both of you what she said was okay with the bosses who employ her. guy, go. yeah, so, with roseanne she compared a woman of color to an april, which is short of the n word, maybe the worst thing you can say. bill: it s awful. contemporary american life. i understand why she was fired. it could have been her first amendment right to say whatever she wants. and it is. th
