dana: fox news alert. abc canceled derozan canceled roseanne after her comments about valerie jarrett calling them abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values. kevin katie, former campaign spokesman. and david hofpney former chief of staff. breaking news always happens at 1:58 p.m. we are switching topics. this is big news. start with you. kevin, i don t know if you knew valerie jarrett based on your experience working with the obama team but this seemed like it not only crossed the line for people in the obama camp but all across america. abc was quick to react. your thoughts? i think you have to give credit to abc. this was a show that was making them money. a lot of people watched it. i know they addressed issues
as an ape. something that i guess abc thought we cannot stomach this. even after roseanne said she apologized and she was going to quit twitter, she finds herself now with no show. this is remarkable the speed to which abc moved. after i saw this tweet this morning, i ll be honest. it shocked me it was out there. then the apology came soon thereafter. roseanne going after valerie jarrett. and then, you know, it didn t take just a few hours for abc to move. this is a big decision. there are some things the get to a point where a network i think says this is over the line and we can t stomach it. we can t defend it. this has to be put to an end. remember, this is a profitable show. very profitable. i think they had signed up for another season. so it s a big deal that this happens but there are some things even in our society of fighting political correctness
kim jong un. and using the south koreans to set up that meeting. being at the table, i don t know. there may be some iterations of this that we don t, we don t yet know how it will develop over the next week. dana: we will keep everyone updated. a lot of meetings happening and planning for the in-case summit. i m at 702% 70% likelihood. something i didn t anticipate. two minutes before the show started roseanne barr found out her show that is wildly popular in the rebirth this season has been canceled. this is all based on a tweet that she sent earlier today. abc news saying that sorry, abc. not abc news. abc saying the twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values and we have decided to cancel her show. this is coming a couple of hours after roseanne barr tweeted about valerie jarrett using very, some call racist allegations or alluding to her
counterpunching on twitter and gets the rest of the news business chasing that. but it s true now, i know of a number of journalists and entertainers public figures who have been suspended or lost their jobs because they said ugly things on twitter. it shows you, you know, i think there is a tendency, especially early in the morning or late at night to hit send too quickly and to say things you wouldn t say in another form, you wouldn t say in front of a camera. i think this is latest, most dramatic evidence of it. yes, we all live in a twitter universe now. dana: we do. i feel for the people who worked on the show. behind the sces. they had a good thing going and now she ruined it. all right, howie. thank you. great to see you. dana: the stock market taking a hit today. up next, what is behind the down day on wall street. and chris stirewalt weighs in on roseanne after this. we had. i m really grateful that usaa was able to take care of my family while i was overseas serving.
i mean it s hard to say given our kind of divisive nature of politics right now. i m sure there are people already out there defending her. it s tough to say right now but i do think it s important that society as a whole, everybody here on your show today, you have been in a press office. you know what it s like when somebody says something they shouldn t. nothing even close to something like this. but she shouldn t have said it. she knows she shouldn t have said it. we have seen comedians held accountable in the past. kraemer from seinfeld was black balled for something he said as well. nothing racist is funny. dana: that is a good place to end it. david and kevin, thank you for being with me. happy to be here. thank you. dana: all right. i think coming right up we have a treat. greg gutfeld, my co-host on the five will join me to
