twice about speaking spanish in public. wait a minute, you think twice yeah. i do. and this weekend was very much a crossroads to me where we saw that these people in el paso, it was not a random, crazed gunman, it was someone who came literally to hunt hispanics. and this is somewhere in my state where i live, and, you know, statistically speaking, yes, the probability of it happening to me or my family is low, but it feels so personal because of my ethnic group identity, because of the language that i speak. so that op-ed that we saw today in the washington post very much reflects what i m feeling and what folks in our community are feeling, whether it s su drrks na surname, whether it s looks, whether it s the language you speak, because there are people who don t like hearing spanish. because it s been fanned by president trump. bad things are rapists,
he s not interested in bridging divides. you look at the reactions, teleprompter trump had a much different message than finger-trigger trump who showed up last night and this morning on the south lawn of the white house. i had a chance to talk to beto o rouke and he said that s why we re up here doing this today, that s why hundreds are here to send a message, the way the president depicts what happens here and things of latinas, congressmen and woman of color, it s not the reality on the ground. in this city, one of the warmest, most welcoming place i have been in all of my time covering immigration on the southern border. beta, we will be calling on you within the hour. i see beta over your shoulder. you got it. i will be back to you. beto o rouke has been one of the quickest to react, this obviously his hometown. he s been sparing on on joe
on script when being on a teleprompter and staying on message. when he was in pittsburgh, he strayed from the message and made the comment that after dozens were killed in the attack in the synagogue that it potentially would have been prevented, if there were security guards outside the synagogue which angered many, and if this president continues the type of rhetoric he has in the past about el paso which is using language false language that it s an unsafe place invaded by undocumented immigrants, then it s going to be potentially very problematic. yeah, gabby, to follow up on that and also what kelly had to say. again, the president s staff is aware that there are people in both these cities who frankly don t want him there. do they reject those concerns? are we going to see a more toned-down trump? what are you hearing? i think the biggest thing to wash for th
rhetoric today, just about an hour or so ago. so this is what we ve seen constantly time and time again with how the president behaves on twitter, on social media and what he does in public. my colleagues described it kind of very apply this week when he said it was teleprompter trump versus twitter trump and you see that dichotomy. you had critical comments overnight toward beto o rourke who is channeling so much of the grief in the home town of el paso where the president is supposed to land shortly and attacking the attacking beto o rourke for the criticisms that he s had. but yet as far as we ve seen and again a lot of the press traveling with him is not getting a lot of access to him so this is kind of second-hand, but he is in public seeming to do the things that a president should do. it is just this two very different personalities and tones that we re seeing from the president throughout the day. my gosh, the grotesque things said by the president by the presidential candi
was the hottest month on record. how you look at this presidency and say it s working. let s turn to some experts we have tonight. michael steel i m going to start with you. jeb bush went off on twitter. as we re focused on this crisis at hand, by the way the world is on fire and we have a president that has no interest in playing fight fightrefighter on that. apparently jeb bush sees the same thing. is this hemlock? this is the world on fire. trump promised chaos and he s delivered. that s what we re looking at on every issue foreign and domestic, the world spinning out
