Dont suffer economic consequences or moral outrage. bob eiger has a moral backbone and it should be celebrated. >> he made a different moral decision bringing roseanne barr back. >> exactly. >> this is not the first time she tweeted something racist. according to media outlets in a now deleted 2013 post she tweeted about susan rice. im not going to read it. it is just as vile and offensive as what she said about valerie jarrett. abc chose to reboot that show. so he may have made a moral decision...

Do you agree bob eiger is a hero here? >> yeah. i completely agree with the entire analysis. bob eiger is a hero as are many other woodstockers who have awakened at ceos. the millennials seem to be caught up, many of them, in this bro culture as scott mentioned. mark zuckerberg -- we can look at parallel problems that plagued others from uber and elsewhere. its -- who would have thought we would turn to the american business community, the pillars of establishment as our mother-in-lmoral backbon...

The show. >> good for bob eiger, i have to stay bob, that was extraordinarily important, first of all. and secondly, no matter what nick confessore said about "the last jedi" it was an extraordinary film. dont listen to the critics. ryan johnson did an extraordinary job moving that series along. i had to do that for my son. he said if you ever get a chance -- >> i loved "solo." >> it was a very good movie. it was not that "star wars"-y. >> i totally disagree. it was classic stuff. >> im, yes. do...

Racist tweet adding, quote, im sorry for making a thoughtless joke. today my words cost hundreds of hardworking people to lose their jobs. i apologize from the bottom of my heart and hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. in one of several tweets she also directly apologized to obamas former aide valerie jarrett saying i want to apologize to you. i am very sorry to have hurt you. i hope you can accept this sincere apology. last night, jarrett responded to the tweet that started it al...

Free speech is. youre not going to jail. but you might get fired. >> lets think about -- bob eiger is a hero, i suppose. hes looking at the bottom line, the demographics shift, the consumers, the billion dollars that "black panther" just made him. hes looking at how his programming thats appealing to a diverse audience. he understands he might make some money in the short term with roseanne but the long-term implications for the brand if he stays with her. we can make it as if hes making a moral...

Write. >> in your free time. >> but you can be held accountable for it. you call me the n-word, i have the freedom to confront you. here she has free speech. of course if she was on 5th avenue to speak her mind. she has also to accept the responsibility of being held accountable for what she said. she has now lost her job. >> thats all right except i disagree with eddie on a little bit of a nuance there, if its okay, stephanie. >> please. >> this was not such an obvious decision for any ceo. may...

Corporate america turned swiftly. somebody -- did somebody have a plan in advance here in case roseanne went off the rails? >> i dont know if they had a plan in advance. they got together fairly quickly. they notified the production company and it seemed like a cut and dry decision. bob eiger from disney tweeted out the decision. >> shepard: how big a lot is this financially for abc? >> i dont know the exact numbers on it. i mean, they were counting on this to be one of their biggest shows of ne...

But if they are so turned off by my opinion on healthcare and gun violence, then i dont know. i probably wouldnt want to have a conversation with them anyway. howie: joining me is kennedy who hosts the showed called "kennedy." he spoke out about his infant sons shearpt surgery. kennedy: he sound glib. and i think thats why bob eiger came out and made the statement. hes there to entertain and be and comedian and host a late-night comedy show. its tough when you have put yourself out there politic...

Community and the sort of pressure that paul ryan and other republicans are going to hear from the business community on extending this program. >> well, joe, we heard earlier about the low paid jobs those jobs in places like iowa, the meat processing that are supposedly immigrants are taking american jobs. the interesting thing for me is the way in which silicon valley has spoken up, the likes of mark zuckerberg. >> right. >> bob eiger of disney. >> came out strong yesterday. >> accrual, by the...
