Good morning to you. >> good morning to you. ainsley: she said im glad i stuck to my guns like she is a martyr. >> michelle wolf this worked out well for her. i dont think people knew who she was before and now she is much more of a common name. it really isnt about whether she should apologize. this is who she is. this is who she has been. i have seen her do standup before when she opened up for louie c.k. i was not surprised by what she did on the dase there. she is a writer for the daily show...

You could just say, rosies at it again, lopez. lopez is a common name. all you have to do is say her last name. you didnt even have to say her first name. just lopez. okay, whats going on. so you dont know what to expect, huh? >> no. a lot more you can do. >> i agree. little more comfort of home, right? >> yeah. >> when all three are gone at once, i think it will be very quiet. >> angela simpson will soon be the only woman left on the once-notorious adam 100 pod. >> so it will be an interesting ...

The island and still lives there. >> johns island is a rural community. everybody is close knit, everybody knows everybody. i see people from home in here all the time. so if i see them at home, at the grocery store, theyre like, "im out. you wont see me in there again." the when i see them again, its like, "let me tell you what happened." >> the melvin gathers, who is awaiting trial for alleged armed robberies is, also from johns island. >> whats up? you doing all right? ive known his family fo...

Enough as he is saying? >> not at all. i think the president thinks this is some sort of joke. i tried to understand where he is coming from and i tried to find the positive here, but once again i am left scratching my head. he would have been fine living off of the afghanistan speech yesterday, but he continues to relive the charlottesville thing over and over again thinking that were not taped and we did not get a chance to see it forgetting the fact he said "on both sides" twice, which he did...

Someone named james brown, a common name, but dating back to this guy in the 1700s 1800s noting that he was a slave owner and asking whether james brown, the well loved broadcaster would somehow be pulled from some sort of broadcast? it sounds ridiculous, but its actually happening. >> there is actually this level of sensitivity on college campuses, and what is really important is to recognize it as insidious and not bring it to the corporate realm and not let it spread, this idea that you can b...

If they continue at the trend they are working at. they are saying to black voters we dont care about you, we dont want to talk to you, we dont care about it and we double down on this rhetoric. >> eric: we are up against the clock, what do you think? >> the president said it best from the podium last night, i was told not to say this, i was told not to say that, and he said it. if you would just take the advice he was given and dont appeal to the base. the bases with you know matter what, you h...

Lee. some were taken better at general robert e lee. this is robert lee, the asian-american sports reporter. the network is standing by his decision in a statement that says "we collectively made the decision with robert to switch games as the tragic events in charlottesville were unfolding. was what simple because of the coincidence of his name. in that moment, it felt right to all parties. its a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who called play-by-play for a fo...

That produced the so-called dirty dossier was question for hours in a closed doors reading with congressional investigators. there he is on the right. his name is glenn simpson, and mr. simpsons lawyer is claiming "the investigation into mr. simpson began as a desperate attempt by the trump campaign and its allies to smear fusion gps because of its reported connection to the trump dossier." what did they say? chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has more on the testimony live from...

Situation. it is sort of the logical dead end of the cultural revolution that we are in right now that begins with toppling statues, goes after markers, and now apparently short of staring at similarity with a name is enough to get you pulled from a broadcast. >> shannon: i dont know your reaction. it felt very the onion to be when i read it. i thought i was getting pumped like we are getting let along here until i saw the official statement from espn. do you think that anyone watching or listen...

Thats to me what it sounds like and now everybody is circling the wagons. >> shannon: thats quite a nancy drew theory. >> you know how it is in broadcast. >> shannon: i know what its like to be made a meme of io. >> espn came out with a statement saying they were the ones that approached robert lee and asked him to pull himself from the broadcast, and they said he eventually agreed to it, which means they put pressure on him. but so ridiculous about it is robert lee is such a common name. i have...
