that intention doesn t matter. and she saying okay, nap don t punch down, how about a more important question is is this supposed to be a punch or are you making people laugh? i think that s a very important stinks and because intention matters and everything else in life. it matters when a person kills another person. are you saying that the one thing that is so serious that intention can t matter is jokes? i don t buy it. this is probably one of the most important point you have ever made. thank you. it s because people now thes antiracist activists say intention doesn t matter. of course it does. when you re teaching let say is that huck finn and it s got the racial slur and it, and if your the teacher and you bring it up, you will lose your job because intention doesn t matter , right? so tyrus, instead of the glass and the coffee is premeditated but if you drive your car and hit you, then he gets its
good to have you here this evening. let s bring in 2020 advisor bartram. joining me now, strong words from geraldo tonight. what do you say? i think we just need to sit back for a second and remember donald trump is a man who gave up his entire life because he loved this country so much and he wanted to fix it. he knew he would be attacked. to david s point, he gets attacked every single day, and it s very frustrating to see people who are supposed to represent our country, these congressional women, dump on our country every single day, call for the abolishment of ice, call for open borders and go against everything that he s doing, so i think at a certain point we are all frustrated as americans by seeing them do this sort of thing, calling concentration camps to try to fix this problem at the border. martha: to the point where he says these are four individuals, they don t have the gravity of their party. nancy pelosi can t get along with them. don t punch down, don t give
governor. cillizza, pick up on that. you can t punch down. i think it s important to remember that this debate, this wednesday night debate is a different animal in truth than the thursday night debate. and the reason why is the number one candidate in the wednesday night debate in terms of polling is elizabeth warren, who is around 12, 13, 14%. that s the best she has been in polling. cory booker, who was standing directly to her right is at 2% in the polls. beto o rourke, who is directly to her left is at 4% and falling. you re not going have that tomorrow night. tonight. tonight. and yet. you ve got joe biden in the middle, right? right. joe biden is the front-runner. no debate, right? yes. then you re going have bernie sanders. you re going to have pete buttigieg. you re going to have kamala harris. you re going to have a lot more of the sort of a-team as we would define it looking at the polling. so the dynamic is i think a little bit different. i don t know that you
the royal family. neil: he didn t talk about mayor of london. but it was justified because the mayor of lambooning him. he s the leader of the free world. he shouldn t punch down. granted there were attacks from both sides. but where the media did and justifiably so with more critical, the idle time when he was back at the hotel and the rest of the europe was sleeping, he was tweeting about bette midler being a psycho and chuck schumer being a creep. from a foreign perspective, you know, his d-day speech was received by both the foreign press and domestic press. it was where he started tweeting or talking about neil: yeah, he stepped on his own otherwise positive message. but obviously maggie thatcher
with some other people before we even got there. okay, anyway, a worthy opponent. trump didn t seem to appreciate that, because at 5:30 in the morning, the president tweeted, it wasn t the white house, it wasn t the state department, it wasn t father lavar s so-called people on the ground in china that got his son out of a long-term prison sentence. it was me. too bad, lavar is just a poor man s version of don king, but without the hair. he then went on to call ball a, ungrateful fool. for me, i m joined by a.b. stoddard and jonathan capehart, msnbc contributor. jonathan, why does the president punch down? why does he get another ego guy like himself, who nobody ever heard of, and pitch up a holiday-long fight with this guy? well, that s a good question. the president always punches down. let s think about this for a second, chris. we have the president of the
