gloria borger, maria cardona, alice stewart, bakari sellers. i want to start with you. what's the latest you're hearing on the president's either satisfaction or lack thereof with rudy giuliani? >> as we know from history, any time somebody gets way out front and he's on tv a lot, remember steve bannon, he wasn't on tv, but he was way out front. people -- the president gets upset. i think what happened is that the legal team is upset. with rudy giuliani. because he seems to be freelancing. he is consulting with the president, so it's the president and rudy giuliani and the rest of the legal team. rest of the legal team is new. you've got the raskins who are just starting out, you've got emmet flood who hasn't gotten his security clearance yet, hasn't even started yet. and you have rudy giuliani setting deadlines and saying, okay, we want this -- we want to make this decision by may 17th. so, what i've been told, what my colleagues at the white house have been told, is that, you know, this really is a goal and not so much a deadline. >> it's aspirational. >> let's call i

. >> joining me now, bakari sellers. a lot to get to.this epa controversy, this is expensive taxpayer money. this is as the -- according to the washington post, questions about whether he really needed it and now questions about whether he told the truth under oath there at the hearing. it contradicts what the ig found. is this teflon pruitt or the final straw ? >> i don't know this will be the final straw in part because we are coming upon about a year since the shooting at the congressional baseball game that showed just how much our public officials really are in the line of fire these days, that we live in a very polarized country, that if you serve in a public and prominent role, your safety is in danger. that's a terrible reality we live in. so that's why i think this particular story is unlikely to be the final straw. i do think that the tenure of scott pruitt with all of these embarrassing stories, it befuddled me the white house has not tried to find someone else who can execute on the president's agenda in this space, without a

look, i disagree with general kelly, but i have to push back on what something bakari said.sed the point of view that he's racist is absolutely -- >> that's not what i said. >> that's what you implied. >> he says it's the epitome of racism. >> that's the same thing. semantics -- >> let me finish talking. you were wrong. you actually said something i did not say. it's the definition of racism. i have not called general kelly a racist. >> he said the remarks are -- and people can make racist remarks. it doesn't mean they are racist. >> but his remarks -- okay, so the remarks are not even racist. he's expressing a point of view that i believe it's wrong. but if we're going to have a single debate about immigration it's time for both sides, the right and the left to just have a serious objective conversation and discuss our policy differences. but to say the remarks are racist, are absolutely -- >> that's got to be the last word. i've got to go. thank you. we'll be right back. hey shrimp fans - this one's for you. it's red lobster's create your own shrimp trios. pick 3 of 9 new

david were you trying to get in or was it bakari?e of the issues we have in our society is people are sometimes too quick to call police. if it's a dangerous situation of course you need to call police. but in a situation when someone is sleeping it would strike me if you're concerned make an inquiry and go from there. but once the police show up, they have an obligation to conduct an investigation. >> well, in theory you call police because there's a threat. so i wouldn't suggest someone approach someone if you actually felt police should be called. the question is why did this young woman feel the police should be called. >> we all know why. and reportedly she had done it before with an african-american male student, the same sort of thing. she thought he didn't belong and didn't understand why he was on campus. and he spoke to another network earlier. it's the latest in a string of racial incidents where police are called to handle a perceived threat. police were called to a waffle house in california after a black man and his sis

i want to bring in now bakari sellers, and cnn political commentator dan ferguson., good evening to you. >> good evening. >> alfonso, i'm going to start with you. as a former trump supporter when you heard john kelly's incendiary comments about undocumented immigrants, what did you think? >> i think john kelly is a good man. i actually met with him to discuss immigration at the white house. but i disagree whole hardly with his views. we are a nation of immigrants. our nation is one of four immigrants coming in the country with little education not speaking english and assimilating. and that's exactly what's happening right now. but i think general kelly's comments just echo what the press has said in the past and other members of the administration. and clearly nativism is on the rise. this idea that immigrants are taking jobs away from the americans. that's not true. by doing those important jobs they're helping to create jobs for americans. so immigration is actually something positive. the assimilation process continues. having said, i have a difference with them

bakari sellers, the president said it is actually very simple. explaining the payment to stormy daniels. and he said, it is best, quote if you learn before you speak, it is a lot easier. >> well, this has been a very interesting kind of diagnosis if you look at this from a legal perspective. you have rudy giuliani who did his best my cousin vinny impersonation and got the president in more trouble than he was before he actually spoke on fox news. that's first. second, now you have the president attempting to walk that back and undercut everything that rudy giuliani said, but even more importantly, this president has a trust deficit with the american people, he has a trust deficit with robert mueller. he has a trust deficit with everyone. i'm not sure that anyone would believe anything that comes out of his mouth, that's why anyone who loves him or is around him or works for him does not want him to sit down for an interview because he just rambles and he cannot tell the truth. so what we saw today was more meandering and it may have more legal co
