Paragraphs talking about written by nice reporter, now i dont remember, he goes i done remember. Maybe thats what i said. This was 14 years ago. They didnt do a retraction. Special guest, someone active in politics and concerned about the Direction Politics is heading right fou. What did you think and feel when you watched meryl streep talk about a man going o be our president mocking someones disability . I thought she said what she said beautifully. Its easy enough to see the video online of trump mocking i agree with meryl it was heartbreaking moment and so beneath the dignity of the
presidency let alone any pt respectful person. What we need more is kindness and common decency. And what he did how he reacted how he needs he has the need to talk back and insult anybody who doesnt agree with him, thats pretty disgraceful. What do you make of the critique that meryl streep made last night you can push this and it becomes norm. You define deantsy. This kind of behavior become the norm. What signal to little children who watch television see this behavior of the soon to
be president of the united states. Little girls were heartbroken when Hillary Clinton didnt get to to be president. So i think its what they see. Children will listen, i sang that in a song once and they will see and they will learn. And and you know im in the middle of having my teeth cleaned. You caught me at an disadvantage. Itsmportant t mention donald trump in the past said meryl streep was his favorite actress in the country so his reaction was the actual rage. If you get on his wrong side, he will blast you negatively. Be prepared, barbara. Hes coming. He had a new years eve party
having gone to his rallies, he said at his rallies, i am your voice. I am the voice of thecy excellent majority but those people i give them enough credit to have not voted for him to pick on a guy like serg, they wanted him to be the bully against chinese and mexican criminal so forth and so on. They didnt want him to bully a defenseless person like that. When you interreviewed the president back in august 15, you asked him who favorite actress are and he told you Julia Roberts and meryl streep. He changes. He gets worse. I was at golden globe. This is someone who was the toast of the golden globe in
2007 when he attended with melania. He was in alex baldwin. He was on top as host and Executive Producer of the apprentice. We were his First Magazine cover. The hollywood reporter. This is a community he loves and for many many years loved him back. The finest actor in hollywood theres no disputing that, they were stunned. For meryl streep has so much class, you dont need to justify this is not johnny dep, this is meryl streep. The pain was probably ov
overwhelming. She place different people. She not john wayne. Ann winners was unbelievable in devil wears prada. Last week calling him a clown. Thats strong. Last month attack Local Union Boss who took issue on jobs who doing a terrible job. More months bullying citizens alike. His wife, if you look at his wife she had nothing to say she maybe she wasnt allowed to have anything to say ichbl. She was the winner and gained
a lot of weight and it ofs a problem. Look at her, look at her words, you tell me what you think. I dont think so. She asked me all kinds of ridiculous questions. Blood coming out of wherever. This guy, he like low energy. Was being hit by poke hon tas, i said mick cannot run. He choked like a dog and walks like a ping win on on to stage. Lets divide this. A persons character is fair game. You can talk about lying ted, crooked hillary. Or the guy having a physical defect or even the pin quinn, i have to tell you its awful. He gaining political strength by bullying people with the Birth Defects if you will. Its perplexing. Why do people vote for people that are bullies . Tell me why. Blt built on domination and not cohesion thats why its upsetting that we as a society would be moving in this direction. We Abraham Lincoln are not
macho men. He didnt do that. I can only testify having been at his rally, those people wanted him to be a bully, their bully against other forces they thought were oppressing him, the politically correct, chinese, mexican immigrants. Why does it fit in . It doesnt fit in. Having watched that tape you put together, my prediction is this kind of thing wont last. It cant last. That behavior. The moment he gets into trouble, politically, all the people that he called clowns and cripples are going to come back on him. Interview with the New York Times this morning, trump
dismissed criticism. We are going to have Record Setting dress shops are sold out in washington, its hard to find a great dress for this inauguration. The factcheck foubd found to be just bs. What is it about this guy that makes statements all dress sale he said thats an example of something sold out because of his inauguration, this is not true. This is also part of Donald Trumps brand at this point even though you find this so outrageous it does mobilize the people who supported him, if you
go on twitter and look at the conversations theres no middle ground. People are angry. People who criticized behavior as the people in the room criticized donald trump. The frustrating thing about this the lack of the discussions around these topics the more he double downs on these things, the more people get outraged and more divisive it gets. It hasnt happened, the inauguration. Award another for fences. I was looking at the face of n denzel and people of color were taken. When you start making fun of people who are weak, thats what i dont like about the guy any way. Janice, thank you, howard as always. Soninlaw Jared Kushner getting top job at the white house. Isnt that violence of nepotism law . You have to be careful when the law starts to be broken. Plus, as President Obamas eight years come to end we have to strategy in ob play book for the next for years. Hardball roundtable more on the fight of donald trump and meryl streep and what it tells about the man about to take power. This is hardball where the action is.

Donald trump soninlaw Jared Kushner going to be joining Senior Adviser give him sway over domestic and foreign policy. He married to trumps daughter. Bars officials from kushner lawyer said mr. Kushner is committed to ethics regarding the steps to take. It reads in english. A public official may not appoint or advocate for appointment or vansment in order to civil position in agencies which he serving or over which he exercise control. If youre heading up an agencies you cannot name somebody within the agencies who is relative of yours. Theres a picture from the page from the budget. An Attorney Vising The told nbc he would not take a salary. They sold nbc news they dont think, they are lawyers. Michigan senator, senator. If this guy, this soninlaw gets to be a nobody is going to mess with the guy. He is the soninlaw of the president. He would be like a viceroy. If it he gets a phone, title and working the in west wing. Bobby kennedy named by his brother to be attorney general. By the way, according the budget office, Executive Officer of the agencies. Why didnt this shatter the law. Your thoughts. Youre making the case. Bade based on what you have saying, it ads to what we have seeing of a cabinet of billionaires that not work on behalf the people whether you look at their financial interests they dont want to disclose and you add his
soninlaw according to the report already meeting with china officials and Chinese Banker after the election promoting own business. I a care about Currency Manipulation with china. How does that happen when his soninlaw is sitting right next to him and has potential dealings with chinese. How does that all work. What do you think he can do about it. What who would have standing to sue him say you cannot name your soninlaw to work in the chows. H white house. How would that work . This one of the many questions we have and Legal Precedents here that are being set all over the place including the fact that they are rushing through nominations without the basic conflict of background,
ethics disclosure that Mitch Mcconnell asked for back in 2009. We have eight things he asked for before nominees would move ford and they have not happened. They have trying to jam through all of these nominees with no accountability. I dont know the guy, he is good guy, he gets trump operation wife is the daughter of trump. Next things you know anybody who hadany problem with his family is dead meat. Look what happened to chris christity. This guy has power. All of sudden, the so white wing. They are moving the embassy. They are going to support this guy has power. He has power domestically and
foreign. This is power. This is something else. People are going to step were going to make an exception or maybe the rules doesnt apply. The principle of nepotism law is to stop nepotism. They dont think any laws apply it them and the fact is when you decide to go into the publics business you dont take your private business with you and continue to try to make deals and benefit financially for yourself and family on the side. So this not personal, i dont know the president elects soninlaw there is not nipping personal. This is about the realitied ty make sure the people i remit have interest being concerned about not the deal that the family wants to make. Senator of michigan. Thank you. Mitch mcconnell said democrats need to grow up. Here he is. I was in schumers position in eight years ago. What did we do we confirmed, seven all of these proceduresal complaints are related to their frustratation of not having lost the white house but the senate, i understand that but we need to grow up and get past that. He failed to disclosure his own letter to harry reid back into 2009 demanding that comply and complete background checks
and Financial Disclosure forms prior to receiving confirmation hearings. Mcconnell back to Him Ver Bait Tim and pointed out his Cabinet Nominees now. Lets wash. Back in 2009 every obama nominee had in before their hearing. Full fbi background here before the Senate Considered their nom nagts. President elect trumps nominees are behind that mark. Mr. President i ask respectfully that the republican majority follow the same set of standard they had in 2009 when the shoe was on the other foot. Was there one standard for President Obamas nominees and
president elect trumps nominees. A lot of this you have to figure out whats going on. I read the lawme. Its clear why Congress Passed it. You dont want to have a government like you have third world joke cousin it depends on whose cousin you are. It was a response to what John F Kennedy did with bobby kennedy. The president is one of the reason is what happened when carter walked around the white house. Did he not have a lot of power. Let tell you a better case, i know you can do that. Hillary clinton which was given control of the there was a lot at stake. They made a point of it. This is something to argue
about. Soninlaw walking in the white house. Its legal to do in the house or senate or hire your soninlaw or daughterinlaw. Well check it out. Its a live show. It happens on the campaign all the time. Well find out. The point is this, donald trump if he going to do something extraordinary like having soninlaw who i do know, give the nation Great Service if he does this. Let me tell you the problem we have with this, state department, people are up for nomination or confirmation who have not sent the fbi full filled yet. They have not turned Ethics Reform statements. Why wont they do this on
schedule. Theres a piece, i think the piece missing is the obama government of ethics is being theory nyre not sending in forms. Thats not true. What give me the name of the person. Who is the person . I dont know the name. How do you know. Because i talked about. When barack obama won he was kind to President Obama. I have to check. I brief member of congress or senate cannot hire wife or kids. How about soninlaw or daughterinlaw. Lets find out. Thank you. Thanks for coming on. Plus, naacp is putting up fierce fight for trumps pick jeff sessions. We have president of the naacp coming up next on hardball, the place where the action is. Has been a struggle.

The reforms im proposing would not apply to those here illegally. You lie. Thats not true. Some have said its indelegate to suggest our top priority to deny President Obama a second time. We dont have kings in this term, he things he can go around congress. We dont have kings. I asked President Obama not o act like a imperial president. Whether or not real certificate because a lot of people questioned it. The gop threw up a roadblock. Got together came up with a way to put brakes on President Obama agenda. To the president s Economic Policy and wins the spire point. For more on the president s legacy, Cornell Williams brooks. This topic is kind of unplesant because it suggest undermine the
guy, accuse him of being an illegal immigrant. Nobody new him at school. Trump kept it up until week before we get into the fall. And skipped away. Nobody got that screwing, your thoughts. It does not ignore this countrys present and its past. What that means is we are wresting with our racial demons when you use politics who call into question not his Birth Certificate but his citizenship bus as a consequence his legitimacy. But our legitimacy, the legitimacy of africanamericans as citizens of this republican. That is is not a new story. It is a longstanding story in this country. The way he has been treated has been a racial disrespect and not only with respect to africanamerican but disrespect it our country. Because when President Trump puts his hand on the bible takes the oath he become our president. President oe barack obama was our president for eight years, eve
