she was very cavalier about it. she s, like, maybe you could do some interviews. or maybe you could do some speeches. you know, you re very articul e articulate. she used that word, she said you re articulate? she said you re articulate. did you find that offensive? most people wouldn t realize that is an insult to african-americans to call us articulate, as if we haven t mastered the language of the land. i could basically decide what i wanted to do and how i wanted to do it. as i stated in the recording it didn t even matter where i worked, how often i worked, what i did, as long as i signed on the dotted line and accepted this $15,000 a month. it didn t matter to her what i did, what my title was or what my role or responsibility would be in the campaign. we know that you ve talked to the special counsel s office. have you been contacted since you started releasing these tapes by the special counsel s office again? now, you know i can t comment on that. you could.
no, we hold every account to the same standard. the president of the united states called a woman, omarosa, that dog. would that violate your terms of service? so we do have a clause within our terms of service around public interest and newsworthiness. we believe it s important for the world to hear directly from global leaders how they think. and how they treat the people around them. that certainly works for twitter s business model. twitter is sell aing a business model that says global leaders, you don t have to turn on the news, they re going to speak directly to you. this notion that leaders should have more leeway. if this were a public company, leaders have far less leeway. they can t say anything knowing that everything they say could move a market. what jack dorsey just said was essentially that leaders are allowed the privilege to be more irresponsible with their speech then a normal twitter user. that s really disturbing. the level of unconcern with the
back or makes these kinds of threats and lawsuits and tries to buy her silence, the more it does raise the question, you know, why is he so worried about what she has? what is on those tapes? even though i m skeptical about it, the body language of the white house certainly seems to imply that there s something they re extremely worried about. charlie, a big thanks. kimberly, always good to have you. ann, thank you as well for your insight. thank you. still ahead here this afternoon, she blessed up with her gift for generations. that voice. the legacy of the queen of soul aretha franklin who died today at 76. i love the light he heard my cry
of living as you say. companies will start paying workers more to continue this boom in consumer spending but it s also why stores like walmart with their focus on lower prices and groceries are doing very well right now because some of those small wage gains are going into the pockets of consumers and are going into those kind of retailers. sarah, great to see you, i was hoping we could talk denmark and their economy but you know what girl, we ll live that to the pros. coming up, omarosa will join craig melvin here at 1:00 p.m., get ready, kids, she has a brand-new secret recording. you don t want to miss it.
even fox news in the last couple of days said it s the president and his tweeting that s making the omarosa situation worse. was this just a desperate move to change the headline? well, the administration will acknowledge that, stef. we asked them about that statement. which you just put up. which shows that it was written on july 26th. we asked why was it written on july 26th. and only released yesterday. the response we got, that was just an error, but bottom line, a lot of critics looking at that and saying hey, wait a minute, did they not just put that statement in their pocket for a day when they wanted to shift the headlines. so again no acknowledgement of that. but undoubtedly this has been a rocky week for this administration. and president trump, instead of ignoring all those controversial headlines about omarosa, engaging her, escalating the conversation by referring to her as a dog, as you pointed out, that prompting john brennan to again lash out at the president on tuesd
