Im going to air america tom thanks, guys. Her smile is highly infectious. Entertainment correspondent jill dobson. He never cheats on his wife, unless you count his torrid affair. From the jim norton and sam roberts morning show, sam roberts. He puts the iq in loquacious. John mcwhorter. And you may recognize him as the low point in David Schwimmers ee true hollywood story. Sitting right next to me, comedian dave smith. Okay, lets start the show. Tom the first design for President Trumps a border wall has been unveiled. Sadly, none come with a moat. Coveneys had until tuesday so submit bids on the project, which i hear will be quite lucrative. Trump has said whats most important is the wall is ecofriendly. Not really. One Design Company did come with a Solar Panel System mounted on it which could generate a ton of electricity. Maybe now liberals will get on board. Another firm wants to turn the wall into a piece of art, with a decorated with stones and artifacts. Of the southside will just show murals of trump glaring. The cost of the 2,000mile border project is excited to be more than 800,000. Seems like kind of a low estimate to me, but thats a lot of money. What do you think of this . Would you back the wall if it was all solar panel than we could use the energy to print the failing New York Times . [laughter] no. If there really were a danger of all of these people coming in and possibly taking jobs and even if they didnt take jobs having terrible lives, i would be all for this wall. It seems to me that about x. 5 years ago, the issue of mexicans flooding in stopped being in issue. Im happy to see the wall built, the aesthetics i hope are attractive, but i think all of this is really more talk tom he said it so hes got to keep up with his promises . If that makes him a real man tom hes got to build the wall, thats why he got elected. I remember him mentioning it several times. Tom of the thing is, as John Mcwhorter was saying, when the economy was bad, when america gets great again theyre going to be flooding over the border. I tend to agree with you but i guess i dont really think a wall, the only way to actually stop people from wanting to come from mexico to here would be of hear it wasnt a way better place than mexico. I dont think thats going to stop anytime soon. As a libertarian, i was always concerned about the wall being a sign of a totalitarian regime. Im almost more concerned with just making it a sign of modern wimpy productiveism. With solar panels. That might actually be scarier to me. Tom look, sam, lets talk about the aesthetics of it. Should they try to come up with something thats pleasing to look at . I like looking at these designs. Trump unfortunately did say he was going to build a big, beautiful wall with a giant beautiful door, but it doesnt make any sense. America needs to seem less attractive from the other side of the wall. If you have a Beautiful House on the outside, people are going to want to rob it. If you build your house to look ashanti but have lots of nice stuff in it, nobodys going to break into it. If its me, im building the worlds ugliest wall also everybody in mexico thanks america has gone to you know what, but on the other side of the wall, people are we should just build a mirror. Sorry guys, more mexico here. Tom jill, wasnt that idea the most offensive thing youve ever heard . Daves idea, not mine. How Many Americans go on their vacations to mexico . I love cabo. Maybe mexico has some nice things. We shouldnt just be saying its bad. Tom i went there on vacation, its fantastic. Are member the 80s when our president was like tear down this wall. Its a lot of the same people who worshiped reagan worship trump, his greatest compliment was tear down that wall and tom its in a different place. Youre talking about a different wall. The whole thing of celebrating him saying tear down this wall because a wall is always a sign of a radical regime and its always meant to keep people in. Tom youve got to have a border. Theres a fence down there, there is a wall in a lot of places. I know the wall is going to keep people out, people coming on visas and they dont leave. Are they going to dig under . Look at the sort of things that happened in a certain place called the middle east. You can build something, have on top of it or whatever, people are going to find a way to get around or especially under the wall, a comedian has a special where she talks about this. People will always get past about wall in some way. They will put their selves through it like on star trek its a rather silly idea. Tom i think it would be kind of fun to see them try, you build a wall, see them try to get around it, televise it, it will be fantastic. The choice of a new generation hit a snag this week, a Company Released an ad of Kendall Jenner giving a can of cola to a cop. She notices a march going by, a warning to our more sensitive viewers, theres also a guy with a cello for some reason. [laughter] tom the ad didnt go well on social media where pepsi was accused of appropriating protest movements as a means to sell beverages. To its credit, the company is standing its ground, releasing a Statement Wednesday clearly i have no idea what standing ground is. This ad was beautiful, and mae want a pepsi. I didnt know what was going on can you explain what happened . I think they were trying really hard, theres an snl sketch where they did it with chinos, lets show unhappy people, happy people and at the end will say chinos pepsi really did that i made it a thing. Tom where you offended that she pulled off the blonde hair . I think she said im going to take off my artifice and be the real Kendall Jenner. Its not clear what these happy attractive people were protesting. They were protesting cops not drinking pepsi. [laughter] eventually their demands were met and they went home happy. Tom thats right. Sam, she looks at this guy, catches eyes with him and pulls off the wig, shes going to go right by the asian guy and go for the cop. Shes playing hard to get. Thats pretty obvious. We know whats happening, its like protest and chill. I think the ad was far more effective than anyone is giving you credit for. If unity was a point of this advertisement, its the first time that everybody has come together on one common issue, which is we hate this. [laughter] nobody on twitter was like guys, its actually a pretty good commercial. No one. It didnt make you want to quench your thirst with a can of pepsi . It made me realize that we all think that pepsi is stupid for doing this and that means that we all do have something in common. Tom do we, John Mcwhorter . We headed for different reasons, dont we . There is divide, why do you hate it, we can come together on that. It was a very protectable commercial. What that is as an indication that there is a certain kind of white or nonblack person, no offense to anybody im with who is watching who thinks that the road to salvation is to indicate that you are against racism. And frankly, this is exactly like christianity, the idea that you are White Privileges your original sin. These people put together this commercial where they have a protest, and the idea is that of course if youre out of the street protesting against something, that means that you are a good person because of course were all against something that is antithetical to being light and happy, were protesting something. Of course its a vague thing. They do it, pretty girl, they think theyre doing the right thing. They dont understand that frankly, if you are protesting, its against trust something tragic and its real or than being all about you making yourself feel good while you drink your Starbucks Coffee and send your kids to private schoo school. You make that commercial, its not going to make people like you, its not going to change anything. The original sin tom what can i do to make him like me . He will never like you. Tom youre just saying to keep doing what im doing . Hes going to come around at some point. Why couldnt you three make that point . I was trying to figure out this commercial, now i get it. Hes clearly the smartest guy on the panel. Im the smartest lady on the panel, so take that. Tom rewind your tv, watch his answer again, it makes so much sense. Thats it for the rest of the show. It was a white guilt commercial. Were not doing thursday and friday . Tom if youre going to make one point for the rest of the show next door, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will only hate the goofy journalist at the failing New York Times. A group of writers of the times released over list of racial terms they get there go to. Terms being slightly offensive, ethnic. It normalizes whiteness. Person of color sounds too similar to the term colored people. And Illegal Immigrants could be an accurate description of an immigrant who is here illegally. They also advised to stay away from people as half one race, have another. I love doing that. Basically, all comedy in the 80s was racist. Dave, how are we going, weve got to keep policing language in this way . It looks like were going to try to. I think there was a big Counter Movement against this, but its an interesting tool, this is what the left has been embracing since the 60s, this is the tool that they use, they keep shifting language and if you dont move with them, youre a bigot for using what used to be a completely acceptable term. It becomes like a hammer. We can bash people with it, theyre very selective of who really gets bashed with it. If trump says something about mexicans, he says the wrong thing, i hated because we create this culture where no one is judging someones point, theyre just judging whether they said a nono word. It sucks, i wish we could get past it is a country. Tom im going to go to sam. John, language isnt your thing. Im confused, some of these terms are traditionally offensive, but people of color, thats the one that people of color like to use . Winter people going to stop staring at my skin and my hair [laughter] tom were going to tackle that. What about me . I also think this is creating cyber bullies, this whole thing. The reason that i have six dummy twitter accounts and troll people all day long is because you cant say anything in real life anymore, you cant talk, everybody has these thoughts in their head what you cant express anything even remotely negative anymore, so what do you do . You sign up for twitter under a fake name, let that eggs sit there and demolish people. With words. Tom are you with the one whos been tweeting good, you been ruining the show anyway . [laughter] im sorry, i am a andy levy fan. He didnt have me on enough and didnt thank me and im at the end of the show. Tom what should we do about this . The other thing they said is some organizations dont want to say he or she because that could be offensive so they say they for everything, which is grammatically incorrect. They means more than one person. You say it. Or i understand that this is a fine line that this is a group telling journalists that this is something theyre going to adopt, but also the rest of the world, we all feel like the pc police are all over us all the time. Tom john, are you ever offended when someone calls you john are anything like that . Im not offended when someone calls me a person of color. A martian comes down and watch as americans, they want to see what were like, they would see not christianity is hourly religion, they would see antiracism as a persons religion, this idea that somebody sits there and say that ethnic as a slur because it normalizes whiteness, last time i checked ethnic was not a slur because if anything among educated people the idea of white is supposed to be negative, thats so white, thats so boring. Youre going to say ethnic is a slur because it normalizes whiteness, youre saying that because you want to redeem yourself in the eyes of the antiracist god. Its religion and it makes no sense. When you say ethnic, you are dissing white people, thats what most of us thought until 1. This is what they told us about, the idea is if i say ethnic, it means im a bad white person. Frankly, it doesnt do me or any poor black person any but were stuck with it because its going to keep going. That is a religion which this nation was founded. Tom coming up, to sports and politics have a mix . In my first book, mean dads for a better america is available for preorder. Go to tomshillue. Com to find out how to get it. Good morning and lie from americas news headquarters, im Jackie Ibanez in new york. Updates from a Northern Syria town targeted by a chemical attacked turns grimmer by the hour. The death toll there has now risen to at least 86. Including 30 children and 20 women. Evidence gathered so far by u. S. Intelligence and other monitoring groups points to the use of nerve gas in tuesdays attack. The white house accusing the Syrian Government and vows to take action. Chinese president arrives in florida today for a two day meeting with his american counterpart. High on their agenda, what to do about north korea. Mr. Trump has threatened to use military action if the chinese cant convince him to curtail their nuclear program. Over on capitol hill, the senate is expected to meet this morning for what is expected to be vote on neil gorsuch. If that fails, the Nuclear Option may come into play allowing g. O. P. Lawmakers to confirm him with a simple majority of 51 votes. A confirmation vote could come by friday evening. The house will be voting on a new Health Care Bill anytime soon, congress is about to take a twoweek recess under public and lawmakers have yet to agree on a revised plan to replace the measure that failed last month. The coast guard is warning sailors along the north Atlantic Shipping lanes to be on the lookout for hundreds of icebergs that have drifted into their path in recent days. They are forcing vessels to take detours of hundreds of miles. Experts think the icebergs were the result of unusually heavy winds or global warming. Im Jackie Ibanez, now back to red eye. For all of your headlines, log onto foxnews. Com. Youre watching the most powerful name in news, fox news channel. Tom the entertainment and Sports Programming Network has issued a new set of guidelines for its onair talent and all its other employees for speaking out on political matters. Espn announced that for those that contribute commentary, they should refrain from overt partisanship. And anyone contributes to hard news reporting should refrain in any public facing form from taking positions on political and social issues. That means their facebook and twitter accounts, too. Espn has been accused of having a leftwing bias. Like to fire conservatives for engaging in political talk on media while not holding liberals to the same standards. Why does espn have to issue such guidelines at all . Maybe they sense the political fatigue setting in on this country. It used to be that public figures were expected to stay out of politics now they are vilified by progressives are not weighing on every issue of the day. In other words, if youre not with them, youre against them. Can you imagine if a republican ever said that . Jill, are you tired of politics in every thing . I am and i dont have as, i s a good idea for a network to make it clear when theyre just reporting news they have someone who is a commentator try to make it clear, this show should have an opening, take every thing we say with a grain of salt. I dont want people to mix that up with the show, god forbid. Tom is that why were going up the air, because we dont have a disclaimer saying take this show was a grain of salt. I couldve saved the show if you would asked me a week ago. Tom i agree with jill, theyre smart to do this, its signaling that they are thinking they might to get need to get f this and go back to sports. Everything i say should be taken literally and with zero salt. Im a reporter if nothing else. Of course espn should not talk about politics, its a sports network, it should talk about sports. People do sports because they cant do other stuff. Theyre really good at sports because they spend all their time on sports. I dont need a guy who is sitting there watching jets games all there to say i turned on a news channel and heres what i think about that. The only person i want political opinions from is charles barkley, hes an incredible broadcaster and hes right about the women in san antonio. Tom is wrestling affected by this political thing . Wwe is the greatest, they dont mention anything about any election. Donald trump is in the hall of fame. They dont mention anything about politics. They were quite politically incorrect in the 80s. They might be trying to stay away from that. Were on a show that discusses politics, we like keeping the conversations going, but even i tire of it. Its everything, not just the award shows. Sitcoms, dramas, you try to watch an hourlong drama and they hit you with the political message. Its baked into everything, i dont know if you can pull it out. Specifically with sports ive been kind of disturbed with the Defense Department giving money to the nfl so though kind of promote this militaristic kind of mindset, a lot of weird things with that. I think it strange that in the nfl, which is a completely male lead, mostly male fans, they have to wear pink shoes, the men can have anything thats just for them . Heres my problem i im fine with it, what can we do with that man i think when they say they want to remove all politics, with that usually ends up meaning is we all except the leftwing narrative, so im concerned about that. I like people to be able to speak up. It shouldnt be partisanship, maybe theres not just two options, i like the more radical tom it becomes left and right, everything is democrat and republican. I think donald trump is hideously unfit for the presidency. However, i think many people think that to say that is to dis republicans. Which it isnt, donald trump, i think we do need to discuss politics more now than we would have in say 2007. The idea is that we need to talk about what our political alignments are. Doing that cannot be discussing various shades of the left. Tom hes saying stop going after Trump Suppor
