Channing dungey deemed barrs comments abhorrent, repugnant and ininconsistent with our values. By late this afternoon, abc remove all mentions of her from its website. As for Valerie Jarrett, she had been scheduled in advance to appear in tonights town hall before barrs tweet. Heres how she responds to the attack. First of all, i think we have to turn it into a teaching moment. Im fine. Im worried about all the people out there who dont have a circle of friends and followers who come right to their defense, the person who is walking down the street minding their own business and see somebody cling to their purse. I want to the mention bob iger, a ceo of disney called me before the announcement. He apologized. He said he had zero tolerance for that sort of racist bigoted comment and wanted me to know before he made it public that he was canceling the show. I appreciate that they did that. She noted barrs tone comes from the top. President trump about to kick off a rally in nashville which well be monitoring for any mention of barr fuels his political rise by pushing a false and racist conspiracy about president obamas birthplace. Upon his depart today, he refused to answer questions about barr or well, anything else. Mr. President , youre rookzing to roseanne. Your reaction to roseanne. Is the summit going to happen, mr. President . What about immigration and roseanne, mr. President. Barr has long tracked in racism and conspiracy theories, a vocal trump supporter in her personal life and her show. How could you have voted for him, roseanne . Talked about jobs, jackie. He said he would shake things up. I mean this might come as a complete shock to you but we almost lost our house the way things are going. Have you looked at the news because now things are worse. Not on the real news. Please. After that, roseanne revival debuteded in march and those ratings have declined since then, the president celebrated Roseanne Barr has a kindred spirit. Look the an roseanne. I called her yesterday. Look at her ratings. Look at her ratings. They were unbelievable. Over 18 Million People. And it was about us. With me now to discuss all this my colleague and cohost for to knows town hall had, joy reid, the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Cedric Richmond, democrat of louisiana. Congressman, let me start with you. What is your reaction to abcs actions today . Well, i think it was appropriate. I think it was swift. And i think it was warranted. So they made a quick decision, the right decision and applaud them for it. Joy, i have to say, you and i were talking about this today. Roseanne has quite a history. Its not just this tweet. She said something about susan rice in 2013. She tracks in really deeply crazy conspiracy theories. Youve got to ask a question of like what, exactly did abc think it was getting. Nostalgia. Part of the lure of trumpism is that it does play to a certain nostalgia. You know, the data bears out of is a lot of is an imagined 1950s when they were more orderly relations between the sexes, between the races. Theres that nostalgia part of the trump appeal and what the networks and what abc was looking at theres a knot nostalgia for a kind of television experience thats also a bygone. Obviously given it opened to 22 million viewers, that is true. People want to look back to the past characters they had affection for. The difference with roseanne is that runs after her show was launched you had the incident with doing the National Anthem that was controversial that the person she is and the character of roseanne are very different people and now more in alignment. For a lot of people its been jagr. But for the fans of donald trump, it was saying heres somebody who is portraying who we are, our kind of people. So i can understand why the network said look, trump just won an election. Lets try to get some of those 60 some odd Million People to watch the show. Congressman, you wrote a letter and it has the title sort of open letter, dear white people, which is the name of a movie that had been out in theaters. About kind of your experience youre the head of the Congressional Black Caucus at this moment as were having this kind of bit of reckoning about a bunch of incidents piled up around the country that some people, white people particularly are just sort of paying attention to. What do you want to communicate . I want people to know one, you cant judge a book by its cover. Normally when im on your show, im wearing a suit. Today i decided to dress down. When im not wearing a suit, white people will clutch their purse or cross on the other side of the street or assume i have bad intentions because of how i look. I think we have to get past that. Lets go all the way back to Trayvon Martin who had iced tea and skittles but George Zimmerman perceived him as a threat. Then comes the interaction between black males, Law Enforcement or wannabe Law Enforcement and we end up with a young africanamerican male unarmed africanamerican male thats now dead. We have to get past that so you can look at the starbucks incident, you can look at the four africanamerican women playing golf and people called the police on them because they were going too slow. So are the black family that was barbecuin in a park and they call the its r the police on them. At some point, the police have to make better decisions. Then again our white fellow citizens have to stop perceiving africanamericans as a threat to them simply because of the color of their skin. Whats striking me, the congressman is talked about biases people have when they call the cops, how roseanne has said about muslims, palestinians, all sorts of groups even before today, its just explicit rhetoric of bigotry and theres a real question how much that is the ground for that is shifting in favor of it. Certainly before today. Well, i mean. Absolutely. The socalled, oh, sorry, congress man. No, go ahead, joy. Okay. I was going to say the other part of the trump appeal if you look at a lot of his followers especially online was the sense that political correctness, that the left was policing speech in a way that didnt allow people to make jokes or comments or facebook posts that they felt were inbound and that people of color felt were out of bounds. One of the results of the eight years of president obama is a whole group of american whos felt straitjackets in the things they could say and get away with it and not get in trouble. I think one of the things that donald trump has done is unleashed a sort of permission and said you can be who you are. Let it fly. Youre allowed because i can do it. He became the avatar for being able to put forward speech that people had been stifled. Youre hearing the same debate about College Campuses not allowed to speak. It is interesting people on that side of the line carve out the nfl as the one place where they dont feel there should be this open zone of free speech for the players who want to protest Police Brutality but other than the players, there is the sense that the trump era, you know, the trump era means we can say whatever we want and there arent going to be consequences because the president of the United States has said you can do it. Does it feel that way to you, congressman . Well, absolutely. The president has brought bullying backing into mainstream. And people see what hes able to do and get away with. Never apologizes for anything from mocking a disabled reporter to all of the things that he consistently does. So hes an enabler for all of this hate speech and these actions that are going on because hes feeding into it. You wont hear him say anything about this incident. You dont hear him really man up or act like the commander in chief and put have this conversation on race. I mean, its really the sad part of it all is that it stems right from the white house to main street. And im just afraid that the division that he plays into purposely and strategically is going to create a bigger divide in this country between Law Enforcement, between white citizens and black citizens. I think that its a dangerous game that hes playing just for his political game. Joy reid and Cedric Richmond of louisiana, thank you for being with me. Thanks for having us, chris. Im joined by cbs evening news former anchor dan rather, the author of what unites us, reflections of patriotism. Ill start with where the congressman and joy left off about the tone set from the top and a kind of perception that all bets are off now because of how the president babes rhetorically. Well, two different points of that, one is tone set by the president which by any reasonable analysis is terrible particularly when it applies to race relations. The other is the perception somehow that hes winning this battle for hearts and minds which i for one do not believe. That have the encouraging thing about what were seeing all kinds of encouraging things. What abc and disney did today frankly surprised me almost to the point shocking me. They made a big money decision, it costs them a lot of money. They decided the right thing. They decided it quickly. They decided against their own monetary interests. And i dont think you could give enough credit to the corporate leadership, iger, sherwood all of those people, this indicates there perception somehow trump is winning the battle for its okay to say what you want, i dont think he is. Maybe thats just a result of my optimism, but i dont think he is. We may look back on this day, chris, as another if not turning point part of some wide turning points that weve seen. You know, back in the late 50s and early 60s we had young people leading the sitins and the freedom rides. We had young people who were dominant in large numbers following dr. Martin luther king. More recently on the issue of gun violence, weve had what happened with the Parkland School in florida. That Young Americans are not buying into this business of racism at all. Now, i dont believe and i dont think most white americans believe that the majority of americans are racist. But we cant take any comfort in that because we obviously have deep and abiing problems with what you have called and i compliment abc for this special tonight about every day racism. We obviously have some deep and abiding problems. Once again, i would say we learn frommure lift. We go through these periods, and the Civil Rights Movement in the lets 50s and early 60s was a period. Weve seen several of these periods. This may be part of a turning point what happened today. Its interesting you note the swiftness of the decision, the fact it happened against its monetary interests of the network. There was a market for this. I wonder what you think about the fact that look, there was all this talk about roseanne representing authentic willy a group of americans that feel unrepresented in pop culture. It seems this is the other side of that in that she is really is one of the people she claims she is on the show. Exactly. I think that many people thought, shes just an actress and acting the part on the show. Thats not who she really is. I dont know Roseanne Barr, what her personality is in person. However it turns out, just as you say, that the things she was saying on the program what she reflected on the program where she is in terms of politics, ideology and particularly in race reeses is pretty much who she turned out to be. One important thing about this day and we have to point out that this was a teaching moment as Valerie Jarrett said and says on the recorded program that follows this one. This is a teaching moment. Actions and words have their consequences. And Roseanne Barr had obviously reach the point where she thought she was bullet proof because she was so successful particularly with this new program. Boom, she says the wrong thing. And you know, awful things and theres a quick and important consequence to pay for that. That is a very important teaching moment. Final question here, immediate thoughts what the president would say anything about this. He talked about calling her up. She kind of had a little bit of the record that she has about her public statements even back then. But theres a real question in my mind whether you expect to see the president wega in on this. What do you think . I think given his record and lets remember, he praised Roseanne Barr to high heaven you ran some clips as you opened the program when she was seemingly on top having great ratings success. I find it a very instructive moment that now he has not denounced what she said. He hasnt said this is wrong. He doesnt say he hasnt said anything so far. Well see later on in the evening and his record demonstrates President Trump is pretty good about trying to go for the win. Thus far, its instructive who he is, what he stands for and he hasnt said anything. One other point that i cant leave without saying. There was talk, there always is talk well, President Trump sets the tone and how influential he is. No president is more powerful than the country as a whole and the country as a whole particularly the young people in the country are moving in the opposite direction from donald trump on race as well as some other things. But most importantly on race. Thats a great point. The president s one person. Its a big country and citizens ultimately control the destiny of the nation. Dan rather, thanks for your time tonight. Thank you, chris. New reporting that special Counsel Robert Mueller is looking into a previously unreported meeting between the president and attorney general Jeff Sessions about sessions recusal from the investigation, that breaking news happened about ten minutes ago. In two minutes. So, i have this recurring dream. Im 85 years old in a job where i have to wear a giant hot dog suit. What . Wheres that coming from . I dont know. I started my 401k early, i diversified. Im not a big spender. Sounds like youre doing a lot. But i still feel like im not gonna have enough for retirement. Like theres Something Else i should be doing. With the right conversation, you might find youre doing okay. So, no hot dog suit . Not unless you want to. No. Schedule a complimentary goal Planning Session today with td ameritrade®. Obstruction of justice probe targeting the president of the United States. New york times reporting the special counsel is examining a previously undisclosed encounter between the president and attorney general Jeff Sessions in march, 2017 where the president urged sessions not to the recuse himself from the russia investigation. According to times, sessions had flown to florida because the president was refusing to take his calls about a pressing decision on the travel ban. When they finally spoekt president who told aides he needed a loyalist berated sessions and told him he should reverse his decision wit times calls an unusual and potentially inappropriate request. Sessions refused to comply. For more on the president s campaign against the mueller probe, im joined by Michelle Goldberg from the New York Times and federal prosecutor jennifer rod rog persons jennifer, youve got a situation in which sessions recutions because he says he might be implicated in the investigation. The president freezes him out for two days. Sessions flies to talk to the president and the first thing he wants to talk about is to berate him and tell him to unrecuse. This goes in the bucket of things we already knew happened but didnt have confirmation of. We knew the president was so unhappy, we knew he berated Jeff Sessions. We knew he didnt want him to recuse and complained about it constantly. This is confirmation what we already know. Sessions was clear to say he consulted with the ethics folks at doj and this was something they told him he had to do. So he didnt really have a path to undo that. So again, its just the president ranting and raving but sessions did the right thing and stuck with the decision. Michelle, it seems to me that whats clear here is there is now explicitly a Political Campaign against the mueller probe. Its not really a legal one. Thats probably been clear from the beginning. What heres what giuliani said on sunday about the president sort of increasingly baroque conspiracy theories hes been spin bth probe. Take a lis. And were defending to a large expent remember, dana, were defending here, it is for Public Opinion because eventually, the decision here is going to be impeach, not impeach. Members of congress, democrat and republican are going to be informed a lot by their constituents. So our jury as it should be, is the American People. And the American People yes, are republicans, largely, independents pretty substantially and even some democrats now question the legitimacy of it. Sort of giving away the game there. Well, and i think to some extent i think that democrats have made it a little bit too easy for them because theres no question at least in my mind that trump has done manifold things that are impeachable. If he has done even a third of the things that we think hes done in the russia investigation, never mind emoluments, never mind compromising american intelligence, of course he should be impeached. Democratic leadership decided for what might it be very sound politically or strategically political reasons to take impeachment off the table. Theyve decided that this is an issue they dont want to fight on. They have the example of impeachment sort of backfiring on republicans during president clintons administration. But what it means is that the goal posts have shifted so that you dont have a lot of the strong voices out there anymore saying that this is an absolutely unprecedented scandal, this is an intolerable level of corruption and you know, we dont need kind of to keep raising the bar. We already know enough to know that this president should be removed from office expeditiously. Jennifer, what do youny about the latest from the giuliani folks will he or wont he sit down for mueller to michelles point that theres sort of obviously whipping up a kind of predicate, pretext to not do the interview. Giuliani says he wont sit for the interview now unless he gets to review the documents that are associated with the active investigation into him. Is that a reasonable request . Its not a reasonable request. But i dont even believe if he saw the documents he would sit for the interview. All of this back and forth is just a way to pitch to the base that this is unfair, i dont think hes ever sitting for this interview. Seeing the documents or not seeing the documents doesnt have anything to do with it. You know, i think were not going to see that interview no matter what happens with the document. So what do you think hes going to do then . I think hes going to refuse to sit down and wait and see what mueller does. Theyll fight a subpoena if they get one. After the subpoena comes of course, they can back down and say okay, now well sit for the interview. Mueller might take that given how long the litigation would drag out. He still has that in his back pocket so he might as well push hard and ehow it goes. Theres two theorys, one is the president has been increasingly lashing out at mueller because hes panicking or unable to control himself, hes been restrained and now not. And the other this is a thoughtout tactical attack to raise the temperature, see what he can get away with. I think its a combination of both. Trump is an impulsive person but he has a lizard brain genius this inability to channel the impulses or prejudices to know what will go over with his base. On the one hand, its something he understands what he has to do to get out in front of this. On the other hand, everything that hes acting like somebody who is clearly guilty and cornered and understands even if nobody else will say it that the legitimacy of his presidency is very much in question. That last part, just to underline that, the president launching into Jeff Sessions berating him and saying you should unrecuse so you can control this inquiry is another data point of a person acting like theyre guilty. I dont know if hes guilty but he actions guilty all the time every time. Michelle goldberg and jennifer rogers, great to have you both.

And villaraigosas being bankrolled by a handful of billionaires. Its everything thats wrong with politics. And none of it is helping struggling families. Heres my pledge to you. Ill keep our budget balanced. Invest in affordable housing. Fight for universal healthcare. And stand up to donald trump. As governor, you can trust me to do whats right because i always have. The governments doing something they havent been doing before which is to separate children from parents. Right . Thats correct, chris. I mean whats happening right now is unprecedented. What weve seen here in arizona is actually since january over 200 cases of parents being separated from their children. And some of these children are extremely young as you mentioned. Weve actually seen children 2 years old regularly. And just last week, we saw a 53 week old infant in in Court Without a parent. Last fright on this show, our guests shared horrifying stories of imMigrant Children in some cases babies being torn from their parents at the border. The Trump Administration has been reluctant to admit this is what were doing even though john kelly called it a tough deterrent. But the administration is now making things harder even for children who show up alone, unaccompanied minors on the border with new plans to require parents get fingerprinted in order to claim their Migrant Children despite fears undocumented parents will be too scared to come forth. Here to help me understand what the administration is doing, reporter julia ansley who wrote the story about immigrants parents being finger printed and michelle benat, director of justice at the womens refugee commission. Julia, i want to be clear because its important people understand the difference. This new policy on fingerprinting is unaccompanied minors, children who showed up at the border who are minors without a parent and what is the new policy . So in this new policy, chris, children who come unaccompanied across the border and are then taken into hhs custody when someone tries to claim them and that person is a parent, they will be fingerprinted. The fear is that parents will be afraid to come forward because they dont want to give their information over to the government particularly if theyre undocumented as many of these parents are. They also would not want i. C. E. To be able to deport them right there. Even though its hhs, technically a Different Branch under health and Human Services not department of hope land security, this is the federal government and the two work hand in hand when it comes to undocumented children. That is separate from parents crossing the border with their children but its very common for parents to come to the u. S. First, try to establish things, make that treacherous journey and then send for a child to be brought up through a family friend or someone else and then theres a reunification here. I reported on this very proposal when it was being pushed by some career officials at dhs in 2016 that did not go forward under the obama forward principally because people at hhs said no, this will deter parents from coming forward and it will take longer for family reunification. I asked that same question to officials today. They said any parent who is afraid to come forward would be unfit to be a parent. Hhs said that today . On a conference call, yes, thats in our story. Michelle, lets talk about the separation policy. So these are parents who are coming with their kids showing up at the border. A lot of times in the case of one of the plaintiffs, a woman from congo declaring for asylum, the government is taking the children away from parents. And the president tweeted this had on saturday. Put pressure on the democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from their parents once they cross the border into the u. S. Then a lot of other sort of immigration mad lives. Is there a law that is requiring the president to do this . Absolutely not. Theres no law that requires this. This is pure absimple a policy of the Trump Administration that is intended to discourage parents from seeking asylum in this country. And let me make that clear. They have a legal right to seek asylum and the administrations policy is intended pure and simple it deter them from doing that. Meaning if you come here and you try to seek asylum in this country is not illegal. They have a legal right to seek asylum. Theres a process in place for that. Youre going to have your 18yearold ripped from your arms and put in some facility you might not know where it is and that will make it less likely you do that . Thats the theory. As hard as it is to believe that would be the intent, that is exactly what the administration is trying to do. Julia, one thing thats maddening here, and the government is litigating this, the government is being be dodgy whether this is the policy or not. Kelly copped to it in that interview with npr. Its clear Jeff Sessions said if you come with your kid, well separate your kid and prosecute you but seem unwilling to admit it. What is your sense from your reporting what they say the policy is. I got a strange call from dhs later today hours after we had the story out. He said i just want to clarify were not separating children. I said what . You must be having to make a lot of calls in washington if that is the case because thats been so reported through anecdotal evidence and through what john kelly said and through what the attorney general said. They said what were doing is increasing the number of referrals for prosecution of parents. And anytime the parent is prosecuted just like if you were a parent dealing drugs on the streets of chicago, you would be separated from your child. So theyre kind of piecing this apart to say its not a new policy because parents would have been separated from their children in that case earlier. But it is different and a very categorical way because theyre forcing more parents to take that path. They would push back on the fact that these are Asylum Seekers but that is because they are raising the bar on what it means to claim asylum. They are making it harder to pass that initial definition, exactly. Yeah. Michelle, does that justification scan to you as someone who knows the law and policy here. No, its absurd. First of all, it is perfectly legal to come to our border and seek asylum. That is written in u. S. Law. The u. S. Immigration law says you can come to our border and ask for asylum. You have to be put through a process. People who are coming to the border even at ports of entry as you reported the other day in the aclu case, even people coming at ports of entry and presenting themselves sef and saying here i am, im asking for protection for my child are being separated or in many cases turned back at the boarder. Julia ansley and michelle, well stay on story. Thank you both for your help tonight in understanding it. Coming up, as we count down toward tonight as a big town hall, the president s rhetoric and his record when it comes to people of color. Some absolutely galling new numbers out of puerto rico and much more ahead. Plus tonights thing 1, thing 2 starts next. Jimmys gotten used to his whole room smelling like sweaty odors.

Thing 1 tonight, its been clear ever since the 2016 campaign that texas senator ted cruz doesnt have the if i werest grasp of basketball. You know, the amazing thing is, that basketball ring here in indiana, its the same height as it is in new york city and every other place in this country. And there is nothing that haas easier cannot do. Thats one of my Favorite Campaign moments, the pandering to indiana voters and managing to call a basketball hoop a basketball ring. But okay, at least hes enthusiastic about the sport. Cruz tweeted this picture of himself last night at game seven at the rockets and warriors. Tweeting in the final quarter, rockets its now or never. Houston is clutch city. Its q four. Get her done. Go rockets. But all that passion from senator cruz couldnt save the rockets from imploding. Making nba history with 27 excruciating missed threepointers in a row. Some people unfairly blamed cruz. Cruz curse going. If you thought cruz had a tough day at the ball game, wait till you see what happened to Rudy Giuliani on his birthday. Thats thing 2 in 60 seconds. Rudy giuliani have spent retirement enjoying himself, playing golf, taking in some baseball games but instead he decided to join the trump legal team. Now he goes on tv nearly every day to antagonize the Mueller Investigation. How do you think thats going on in his hometown of new york city . We got an indication yesterday. It was his 74th birthday. He took the day off from politics and went to a game at yankee stadium. His day went a bit sour when they starred announcing fans birthdays. Happy birthday. New york yankees wish a happy birthday to mayor giuliani. [ boos ] nd, but im not standing still. And with godaddy, ive made my ideas real. I made my own way, now its time to make yours. Everything is working, just like it should as we have mentioned tonight, just 15 minutes from now, we are airing the town hall event hosted by joy reid and myself, everyday racism in america and broadcasting this not only on the day that Roseanne Barr news happened but also on the day that starbucks all around the country closed to provide their employees with antibias training everyday racism in america looks like. As soon as we entered the door, i knew we were being profiled. I was shocked. So you walk in the store. You are looking for some stuff and then what happens . The two older gentlemen act like they fixing and what made it bad, it was like the racks already neat. So i told them that theyre watching an us and then we were confronted by an older lady who asked me were my grandparents proud of what i was doing. I was like you dont know me. She said stealing. I asked to speak to the manager and the workers say no, you cant speak to the manager but you can talk to the police. Stop us in the store and make sure we werent stealing it. We immediately see three squad cars pull up. They told dispatch there were three black man in a store. They say we were stealing several items. Were you afraid at any point . I was afraid at the point when they were still inside the cars because i didnt know what type of police we could be dealing with. Police are killing young black men. Youre scared in this situation. I was scared. I let them do their job. I was thankful they let us speak our mind and talk about the situation. How do you process any of this . How does any of this make sense to you or does not make sense . Its still kind of hard to process. I think about it every day. All these days later . Still thinking about it every day i wake up. This is a must see two up hall coming up in just 15 minutes at 9 00. President trumps rhetoric on issues of race have had concrete detrimental effects on his policy. Thats next. Ahh.

Well, today we have a far, far better idea of the real tragedy and its depth and scope of puerto rico. A new harvard study published in the new england journal of medicine estimates that at least 4,645 deaths can be linked to the hurricane and its immediate aftermath. Thats thousands, not the 64 deaths so often reported as the official tally of that hurricane. Its the biggest disaster of the Trump Administration so far, one of the deadliest natural disasters likely in American History and honestly you would be forgiven for wondering if it might has something to do with how the administration felt about the people who lived there. Donald trump began his candidacy talking about mexicans as rapists and as president both in public and behind closed doors hes expressed his bigotry and contempt at every turn. From his reaction to a racist valley in charlottesville to his repeated insistence that mexico and muslim countries are the root of our problems. Its not just the rhetoric, its the policy that flows from it when youre president of the United States. The 125 writer of the atlantic just filed this piece on the Stephen Miller. Linda chavez, a former u. S. Director of civil rights in the Reagan Administration and chair of the National Commission on migrant education and michelle juwando, a cohost of the thinking cap podcast. Linda, the puerto rico number is shocking and shocks the con shebs and i think its not unfair for americans to wonder how that relates to the president s views to the people that live on that island. Well, for one thing, im not sure he considers them fully american. I think there are a lot of people who dont understand that if you were born in on the island of puerto rico you were born as an american citizen, you are every bit as american as you are if youre born in iowa or new york city. And i think there is an element of that. When you saw him on the island when he went there, his sort of cavalier attitude, the way he was throwing rolls of paper towels to people, he wasnt there ladling out food and commiserating as he did in texas and houston after the hurricane hit there, it was as if he really didnt feel that these people were part of the american society. You have this great profile of Stephen Miller and he sort of represents the kind of vision that i think the president has in an inchoate sense. You write miller has emerged as a staunch ideologue and immigration hawk, he represents a rising generation of conservatives for whom melting the snowflakes and triggering the libs are first principles. What do yo mean . This is the thing thats interesting about Stephen Miller is that while he does believe in these right wing nationalist ideas and these ideological principles he champions as a matter of policy he also believes as a first value in the idea of advancing his agenda in the most kind of offensive or outrageous or controversial provocative way possible. He enjoys getting a rise out of his political opponents and critics, he tries to do things when hes writing speeches for the president or even enacting policy like the travel ban last year. Hes doing in the the most provocative way, calculated to create kind of hysteria on the other side of the aisle because he counts that anger on display in his critics as a political win. And that it strikes me that that is one prism to understand sort of everything in the kind of news arc today, right . From the stories were writing about whats happening on the border to what happened with Roseanne Barr that the idea that if you just sort of think about what your enemies will hate like theyll hate the fact you separate children that you could end up in some morally dark places. Well, you know, so much of the Trump Administration is performance theater and i think Stephen Miller and donald trump have this thing in common where this is the sense of how can i disturb and offend and hurt and attack as many people as possible with either a policy pronouncement or rhetoric at a rally. But what we forget in the midst of these kind of conversations is that there are real people who are hurt, whether were talking about the thousands of people who lost their life in puerto rico or whether were talking about the increase in hate crimes that weve seen across this country since the beginning of this administration. There are real tangible consequences for the type of evil that were seeing from this administration and i really dont think we can call it anything else but that because when you step back and you look at the policies, you have to ask yourself what else is the motivating factor. Go ahead. I was going to say, one of the ways in which this administration and Stephen Miller is a prime example of it, the way in which they galvanize people on these issues is the way in which they dehumanize the people theyre talking about, theyre rapist, theyre criminals, theyre drug dealers. Even the phrases unaccompanied minors. Were talking about children, were not talking about unaccompanied minors. There is a sense that we try to put them into a box and categorize them so we dont feel theyre part of us, we dont feel like theyre our brothers and sisters. This relates to this incredible anecdote, mckay, in the Washington Post that involves Stephen Miller and the president. The night before trump delivered his first speech to congress in february, 2017, he huddled with senior rad visor Jared Kushner and Stephen Millner the oval office to talk administration. Trump reminded them the crowd loved his rhetoric on immigrants. Acting as if he were in a rally, he recited a few madeup hispanic names and described potential crimes they could have committed such as rape or murder, then he said the crowds would roar when the criminals were thrown out of the country as they did when he highlighted crimes by Illegal Immigrants at his rallies. What do you think of that, mckay . It totally made sense. I saw that anecdote as i was finishing the piece. Stephen miller loves to egg the president on. He talked about this thing trump does at his Campaign Rallies where he leads the lyrics to the snake this old soul song where he basically compares Syrian Refugees and Illegal Immigrants to poisonous deceitful snakes who will bite us because we let them into our country. Its clearly demagoguery, but whats funny is that when i talk to miller, he thrills at this. He spent several minutes describing the Performance Art of it, how theatrical it was, how the crowds love it. He compared it to the opening chords of free bird. And i think your other guests got at it, which is that to miller, a lot of this is Performance Art, it is theater and he has a way of turning the people affected by this into a kind of abstract side issue rather than the actual point of all of these policies in governing. Michele, whats so striking to me though is that while roseanne found consequences today for sort of engaging in this kind of overt bigotry, theyre still doing thing in the white house. Whats interesting about the roseanne situation because we kind have have always known who roseanne is, and weve seen her tweets before she had the abc show, so we should not be that surprised, is that there are consequences for other people but we still dont have consequences for the person who occupies the most important job we can say in the world. And that should disturb us all, that we have greater consequences for a made up Television Show host than we do for the president of the United States. Mckay coppins, linda chavez and michele jowanda, thank you all.
