How they will be making moves against the right wing representation there. Good day. Were going to start with new reaction from omarosa about the explosive claims making where the president uses the n word. Here is what he told my colleague in an exclusive interview on Meet The Press. After i closed book, i had an opportunity to go out in los angeles and sit down with the person who actually has a copy of the tape. I heard his voice as clear as you i are sitting here. You have heard the tape . I have heard the tape. Since publication of this book . Yes. When he talks this way, it confirm hes truly a racist. Omarosa talking about timing
then you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation. Its very, very important, i think, you understand theres some serious legal issues that have been violated. As youre open to some legal action that we hope, i think, we can control right . So with that, if you would stay here with these general me, theyll lay this out. Can i ask you a couple of questions . Is the president aware of this . This is a nonnegotiable discussion. The reporting is that discussion happened in the Situation Room. Here is what omarosa told chuck todd when he pressed her about making that recording. I protected myself fwhathis white house where everybody lies. The president lies. Sarah hauckabee lies. Youll see 17 knives in your books. If i didnt have this recording, people would still think that i was trying to set off alarms. Yes, i had to protect myself and i have no regret about it. New reaction to the white house by the white house of allegations of the president s racial slurs. Kelly, what can you tell us . Reporter the president has referred to his one time Reality Show Cast Mate and a person he helped make him a star. The now the president is referring to her as a low life in the reaction to the book. Also the recording that you just played excerpts of and her device, sean spicer believes that recording of the clehief o staff and others is a national
notion she heard this type of the president using the n word made during the production of The Apprentice. That interview challenged her about this and she said its many my book. Have you not read my book. Today with chuck todd she said she heard the tape after the book had gone to her publisher. She makes a distinction here and this is a contradiction within a merit of days about a central theme in her book. Was there Audio Evidence that the president used this slur and had she actually heard it. In the book she writes she was told about it from her Sources Associated with The Apprentice production time years ago ashnd now she is saying she heard the tape. Its a Credibility Test for a number of people in this drama. Richard. So well put there for us. Thanks for kicking us off again. Thank you. Credibility. Whats your take away. As you know, omarosa really coming after the president saying hes mentally declined, her words. As well as saying hes racist among many things. I think, first of all, we dont need omarosas book to decide whether hes racist. Hes been in off for a couple of years and had a long campaign. Hes said a lot of things that offended a lot of people. He called Neo Nazis Fine people. I think the question brings up is about trumps credibility. Theres nobody besides ivanka trump who has worked closely
with him. She had a top position. She was in the Situation Room. If shes a low life, if shes crazy, if shes unhinged why was she given such a high up position in the administration . How damaging is this for the white house and what do you expect to hear in the coming hours and days, if at all . Were already hearing from the white house. Thats an indication that theres damage or at least concern about damage. The president is racing out to talk about it. So is one of his top spokeswomen. I think they are taking it seriously and they should. Not because of the specific charges but something that goes deeper. This president came into office and put people into positions who should never have been in those positions. People who he had known through his business, his real tv background but whose
qualifications to fill top roles in government is dubious at best. Its blowing up on him now. We should be taking a serious look at john kelly here. The fact of the matter is that john kelly should be managing situations like this much better. If, in fact, people were sneaking Tape Recording devices into the Situation Room or other places in the white house and taping him when hes firing them, thats something that calls into question kellys management of the white house at this point. Laura bill ebuild on what jo saying. This has not been seen before. In the Situation Room, you have the Chief Of Staff, a recording made and it appears that General Kelly did not know that it was happening at that time. The legal ramifications, the Security Ramifications that might be discussed here. Its unbelievable that a woman was able to record her own
fire ing in the Situation Room. How did that happen . Thats an incredible breach of security. I think this white house is bizarre. Theres been nothing like it before. I know people from previous white houses have said we never had to sign nondisclosure agreements. What is that about . I think its a huge red flag if you have a white house that is trying to silence employees. Employees are getting fired left and right. They are foreign agents. They were lying. They come out and write horrible books about the president. Whether the books are true or not. I think a lot of people who voted President Trump into office knew he didnt have a ton of Policy Experience or knowledge but thought he was an excellent businessman and that he would have really good wisdom in terms of hiring people and who to surround himself with. Thats what hes proven to be the absolute worst at. I wonder whether his supporter can continue to stand by him and root for him knowing what they hired him for, he hasnt been able to do. John, laura was really
inpointing that. What are the mechanisms the look at how this happened . I am sure they are rushing to figure out how this happened. This is a massive embarrassment. Kelly is the guy who was brought in who was supposed to get things under control. Hes guy who was at homeland security. Who has a long and distinguished military career. If there was anyone who should have been on top of situation like this, its him. He wasnt. The fact of the matter is that if you except half of what omarosa says that the president isnt that good at what hes doing, hes bumbling, whatever. Then you say who is there to kind of keep things functioning . It ought to be john kelly. Now we have john kelly in middle
of a mess. With all due respect, no matter what your partisanship, ideology, this white house is not functioning well. What omarosas book and these interviews reveal is that dysfunction. We ought to be focused mostly on that. What else she says about him, that will be debated a great deal in coming days and weeks. Tapes and what tapes were heard and which were not. At the core of it is the revelation of dysfunction. Thank you both. Have a good sunday. Today is the one year mark of the charlottesville rally that left one person dead. In one hour a White Supremacist Rally will be leheld in counter the timers as well. You were saying last hour the
energy was growing. There were many from different parties and different places. Reporter thats right. You mentioned this is the anniversary. One year ago today the mark in charlottes which i wiville that the murder of Heather Heyer. She is top of mind. You have communist calling for violent overthrow of the government. We have folks calling for the jet stream of trumppresence to go. You see the green flags of the antifa movement. Here is another sign saying america was never great. A lot of this is sure to fuel people on the right who look down or disapprove of what they will see here. These folks are united. They are united against the march. The Unite Right March which they regard as a White Supremacist march. They want to avoid the confrontations last year. They think its a loser for them. The Counter Protesters as well as the protesters today, tha thank you so much. Jeff bennett is in foggy bottom where white supreissu supremacie marching. We expect these unite the right white nationalists protesters to arrive. Their plan is to march from here over to the white house which is in the shadow of the white house. Thats about a mile away. When they get off the train,
they will be greeted by a hundred or so chalk messages left by Counter Protesters. Theres a message that says love, not hate. Theres another quote over here from malcolm x. You see a message that says be nice. The world is cruel enough. They expect up to 400 demonstrators. Compare that 400 number to the 2,000 Counter Protesters who are all around washington including where we saw. The primary goal is to keep the Counter Protesters and the protesters separate to prevent the violent, deadly melee we saw last year in charlottesville. We expect later onto see the prote protesters emerge. Next, ocan she even do that . Well ask an attorney, next.

Its very important that you understand theres some serious legal issues that have been viola violated. Youre open to some legal action that we hope, i think we can control. With that, if you would stay here with these gentlemen theyll lie thay this out. Is the president aware of this . Lets not go down the road. This is a nonnegotiableable discussio negotiatable discussion. I want to get your Legal Expertise by looking at the language that General Kelly was using there. How do you interpret what he was saying . Its sounds an awful lot like a threat. It sounds like hes sighing were going to fire you. Theres nothing you can do about it and im not going to answer any questions at this point in
time. Of course, thats entirely appropriate in a Government Employment situation. If youre someone who works for the president you are terminalable at will. If the president is no happy with your services you can be let go. Joyce, he mentions serious legal issues. Hard to know what hes talking about. Whats your reaction to that . This is the most unusual part of this conversation. Youre right. We dont know the details so i wouldnt want to get too far ahead of ourselves. If theres legal issues with someone in government then they need to be referred to the appropriate Inspector General or to the Justice Department for prosecution. If there are criminal legal issues. If violation of security protocols. If theres simply Human Resources related Policy Violations then maybe its just appropriate to let the person
go. Typically most people understand when the time has come and they are asked to leave, its time for them to go. Is john kelly the one to make these decisions in terms of who should be handling these serious legal issues . This is a difficult question to answer. It depends on the nature of the issues but certainly kelly would know based on his career that if there was criminal type issues that they had to be referred. Theres an obligation to refer those to an appropriate investigative body. They are up to him as Chief Of Staff to determine an outcome for. Folks would be asking why did she record that consideration. Nbc chuck todd asked that question. This is what she said. Chuck, if i did not have this recording people would still believe the false, incredible story that i was running around the white house. The false story that was told by a reporter and repeated by this network and other reporters that i tried to charge the residents at the white house. Its a lie. If i didnt have this recording, people would still think i was trying to set off alarms. Yes, i had to protect myself and i have no regret about it. Joyce, you know theres two sides. One is she face legal jeopardy here and was her defense of doing that good enough . This is the most reducktive vision of a white house and presidency that one can imagine. Its demeaning to the office. The people inside the white house were in such a state they felt like had to to tape and counter tape themselves. I cant imagine it. The reality is theres security issues, National Security consideration going on in the Situation Room and this area. This is not a place for personal
drama. This is a place where theres consequences to folks taking personal taping, personal listening devices into secured facilities where i never walked into a meeting in the Situation Room but just running into meetings in fbi or doj that occurred in secure facilities. You routinely drop your phone into a drop box outside of the room before you went in to prevent the possibility among other things that a hostile power could listen in on conversations that needed to remain private. She promised National Security. Obviously, this white house has a lot of issues but this compromised to Best Practices in this area is the serious one this needs to get a good hard look right now. Very quickly, who is responsible here, fbi, secret service, doj . If there is some legal question here for omarosa. It just depends on what the precise issues. She almost certainly needs a
lawyer to look into these issues. Well have to wait and see. Great to have you on this sunday to give us some insiekts the insight.
