he s doing it for the reasons we re here now. we re getting into a discussion of what s true or not true about the russian investigation. we re not talking about children dying. what was so striking to me today is this j.r. student who they are planning to have him buried with military rights or honors. it s incredible dying in a combat situation in the united states and the president won t even go to these people and meet with them. he wants us to be talking about the russia investigation because that s where he can sort of pull the strings and get us fighting with each other and not solving the problem. that s exactly why he s doing this. when i was in arkansas we had a school shooting there years ago, and governor huckabee appealed to the people in the state, calm reflection, offered prayers and thoughts for the
that s exactly why he s doing this. when i was in arkansas we had a school shooting there years ago, and governor huckabee appealed to the people in the state, calm reflection, offered prayers and thoughts for the victims and really brought people together. i think president trump did a fine job with the statement he gave to the nation last week, but he canceled it all away this weekend by the comments that he made. this was a weekend for him and the nation to have quiet reflection, to hug your children and to reflect on what we can do as a nation to heal and to make sure this doesn t happen again. for him to go on and on and on about russia and speaking more about himself than offering prayers why doesn t the president just shut up? be quiet for a weekend? children were killed and he it s okay if the president is attacked and he can t push back at all? so he has to just take an
obligated to point out the racial aspects, the social aspects, the prosecutor s incredible abuse of discretion here. i m being very judicious of what i m asking. but we ll continue to follow this. mark and jeff will stay with us. i want to get their take on how the sequestered jurors in george zimmerman s trial spent their time outside of court, everything from a trip to outback steakhouse to bowling and movies. also ahead, after george zimmerman s acquittal, president obama asked for calm reflection but he hasn t said anything else about the case since. we ll take a look at why. i want to make things more secure.

is the president going to take any action? the president has called for echoing the statements of trayvon martin s family, for calm reflection in the wake of the verdict. so no? you can editorialize all you want, i have no doubt you will. but that s a ridiculous statement. joining me now is joy reid and eric bowler, a senior fellow on media matters for america. i have to talk about this. the black on black crime thing, there s something about the invocation, the phrase that just really greats. it s cringe inducing, i think what s cringe inducing is the injustice of it. liberals and black writers, commentators, journalists, pundits of all stripes are constantly talking about people getting shot in chicago, we ve done segments on it, it s not like no one cares, people are up in arms in chicago.
