so post-charlottesville last summer ben carson all of a sudden was with president trump every single police that he went getting off the plain with him and so in some ways ben carson, yes, he's an african-american high up in the administration but he's also used as the token african-american to shield this administration from allegations of racism when it's convenient. on the one hand, a lot of african-americans are not chomp chomping at the bit to work in this administration but you don't want to be used as a token. >> since you did bring up charlottesville, the president tweeted about charlottesville condemning in his words all types of racism. then ivanka followed late we are a tweet as well saying while americans are blessed to live in a nation that protects liberty, freedom of speech and dwertsty of opinion there is there place for white supremacy and neo-naziism in our great country. bob, what do you make of this. is the president handling this properly? >> i think it shows they didn't handle it properly a year ago and they're still struggling. charlottesville will go down in t

i trust that ben carson has thought the long game out from his perspective, but your point is people are hurting right now. >>ou say you trust in the president. >> yes. of course, ben carson works for the president o so a lof the policies it sounds like you'resn some w concerned about are things president trump has supported. but i want to tn to the department of justice. attorney general jefsions say people should have longer federal sentences, he also said he doesn't want colleges an universities to be using affirmative action. when you looks at this, how d this specifically help african-americans when he know african-american are disproportionately serving prison times and convicted as other people of color? >> well, i can't defend mr. sessions at all. i don't agree with y anything just said from his perspective. >> these are all, of course, things that president trump supports. i think there's a little dissidence between trump vision for america and maybe sessions walking it out.n' i speak in much more detail, except that part of the urban plan has reentry jobs as a partf the thi

when kellyanne conway was asked about this, she pointed to ben carson. he is, of course, a cabinet secretary. the criticism is that there aren't african-american voices very close to the president. >> i'll tell you though, this president values the input from his cabinet secretaries. he's had more cabinet meetings -- excuse me -- than i can recall previous presidents. they're very common. he seeks their guidance and input. you do have secretary canson. you have dr. jerome adams on the health care side. you have the head of medicare and medicaid services with verma. you have people of color who are often in the office. he relies on them so much to provide that guidance. of course, you always want to see the white house staff looking like our country. i don't think we should take it just because they're not in those offices right there, that he is not hearing from them. >> that is a fair point. officials have pointed to the fact of, hey, look at the african-american unemployment rate, it is going down. we're also doing prison reform. at the same time, woul

we are also joined by secretary alex a czar, secretary ben carson. and ambassador sam brownback. before going any further, i want to extend our prayers and condolences to the victims of the tragic shooting in jacksonville florida. that was a terrible thing indeed and how it happens, nobody really knows. but they have done an incredible job down in jacksonville as they always do it or not and through -- always do in florida and throughout the country. condolences. also our hearts and prayers are going to the family of senator john mccain. will be a lot of activity on the next couple of days. we very much appreciate everything senator mccain has done for our country area [applause] we are here this evening to celebrate america's heritage of faith, family, and freedom. in recent years, the government tried to undermine religious freedom but the attacks on communities of faith are over area we ended it. unlike some before us, we are protecting religious liberty. last 18 months alone, we have stopped the johnson amendment mentor hearing with your first amendment rights. it's a big dea

ben carson, the guy who thinks slaves are immigrants, yeah, him, let's throw him at the wall and seecks. >> bakari, any says she didn't think she could remember his last name. his name is geron smith, and we actually reached out to him to invite him on the program to tell us more about his work in the white house. he declined our invitation. but my question is did kellyanne conway did him a disservice by apparently not knowing his full name, not having a full grasp of what he does except the broad concept of prison reform? >> yes, she actually did do him a disservice, but geron one of it bright spots, talking about the opportunities of the tax bill, et cetera, et cetera. he actually is someone who's astute on policy, who tries to drill down and not deal in all of the verbiage that the president uses on a daily basis. i actually know jeron, and he's doing the best work hake do even if kellyanne conway doesn't know. you can slap a miracle whip sign-on the white house, there is no diversity on this white house line-up at all. and that just shows when he makes comments about nfl players

one specific piece of reporting i cited was ben carson's mal pr malpractice suits.d trump is quoting that ben carson nearly killed a guy and several days later it shows up on the front page of the enquirer. this is a relationship that was used well before donald trump became president. you have to think going back, donald trump is a child of the '70s. in his mind, the "national enquirer" looms large, like "time" magazine, one of the iconic brands in his mind. >> hard to fathom in this day and age. >> it's colorful, has pictures. >> not a lot of words. >> this was a very important relationship to him, and he basically used it as a form as we've now learned michael cohen cutting deals, as a form of political advertising, which is where the "national enquirer" then loses its first amendment privileges because it became a de facto arm of donald trump's campaign. >> felipe, a target of the "national enquirer" has been hillary clinton, for whom you've worked for many years. just behind me here, you can see some of these front pages. >> remarkable. >> sex tape found. we've

. >> to be fair to kellyanne, other than ben carson, she really had no big names to offer.the trump white house is not a matter of opinion. it's a matter of fact. according to "the new york times," they did an analysis. in the first six weeks of the trump presidency, take a look at this. number of white men in the first cabinet of each president. he's far and away the highest, okay? and look at the number of minorities. women. so you're looking at latinos and asians and everything. look at the difference. then everything flips around, and he is the lowest by a lot. don lemon is with me. does this matter? >> does it matter? of course it matters. it doesn't surprise me, but, yeah, it absolutely matters because you want -- you want insight from people who have been there, who have lived it regardless of what the background, religion, you know, ethnicity, gender. you want to have diversity because you want -- shouldn't he want his cabinet to reflect the great diversity of america? >> 100%. i mean, look, you're asking a rhetorical questio. frankly so was i. i'll tell you what's

what ben carson is doing at hud? republican agenda.his is really important when we look at the policies. what we see is that trump is not that much of an outlier. what we see is really what's the oil in the engine that's driving trumpism, and that is, i think, a mean-spirited republican agenda that has a disproportionate impact on black people and communities of color. >> you will admit donald trump is more successful getting these policies enacted or put into place or rolled back than other republican presidents? >> absolutely, because in some ways he provides cover. he is the carnival barker. he fogs up the place. we are paying attention -- he is like a magician. we are paying attention to the hand whale the illusion is happening with the other hand, right? and so to the extent to which many republicans have engaged in that faustian bargain, we didn't talk about at the macro level what the tax cuts will do. they are creating this massive debt. they are starving government and they are going to use that as a pretext to cut social prog

i bet if we check the securitycam footage we would see ben carson sneeblging in to take naps and don, jr. going in there to practice his karate. the true mast certificate one who can strike without making me up-- waking me up. and as of taping the chief of staff in the situation room, today she dropped her latest, and this one features the president himself. oh and please listen how trump reacts when he finds out omarosa has been fired. >> omarosa, what's going on. i just saw on the news that are you think being leaving, what happened? >> general kelly-- general kelly came to me and said that you guys wanted me to leave. >> no, nobody even told me about it. nobody-- they run a big operation, but i didn't know it. i didn't know that. >> yeah. >> damn t i don't love you leaving at all. >> trevor: i don't love you leaving at all. i just found out. they run a big operation, omarosa. goddam it. you know for a man who lies as much as trump you would i this he would be better, no, i'm so upset about this! i wonder if he did this to people without got fired from the apprentice if he also call

it is august, people, when stores start putting up halloween decorations and ben carson starts preppingibernation. the key is to always be ready. more importantly, august is national breastfeeding awareness month. for women who can do it, breastfeeding is one of the best ways to nurture an infant and it is shocking that in 2018 we're still seeing stories like this. >> a mother breastfeeding her baby inside an alabama restaurant says the manager told her to cover up. and outraged mother said she was breastfeeding her baby when a via bus driver told her to cover up. >> sarah olsen said this is how she was sitting an breses feeding while having dinner at a subway restaurant inside this wal-mart supercenter, that is when she said a manager at subway asked her to cover up or breastfeed at the back of the store. >> he stated that well, if it is my legal right than he can just whip out his penis. and pee everywhere. >> trevor: okay. i'm confused by it guy's reason. how is breastfeeding the female equivalent of peeing. because peeing is the female equivalent of peeing. that guy knows that women

suspension of the political correct police are out in full force at all times as my good friend ben carson might say at one point but the fact of the matter is is that this was a simple response jeff that was a joke to someone i was actually claiming that they were the stalinist and it is quite ironic because their whole tactic they were attacking me my response was a was a picture of joseph stalin which was meant to be humorous saying off the gulag and then of course they mass reported me and at first the twitter send me e-mail messages saying that i had not violated any terms of service and that i had not even committed a crime i have those emails but still two days later a ban was issued saying that i had threatened that there was a credible threat of violence as if i have access to a gulag here in the state of missouri that i could that could be a credible threat it's absolutely ridiculous and again this just goes to show that the social media john. i am who have banned me before facebook they had to me before twice during this election twitter has now done it once and frankly i think

with ben carson it was the same thing. >> wives are really acting badly here. >> maybe they are, butthey're not. i think that people need to take responsibility for their actions. he is an elected official. he was elected to be a steward of the office. his wife was not elected, he was elected. he is the ultimate person holding the office. >> abby trying to gracefully handle your snark there. >> i'm curious that his wife paid $350 for bachelor party drinks. wow, she is really mismanaging this money. >> thank you abby, ron, and shan, thank you all. >>> the pope is going to meet with survivors of priest sexual abuse. what will he say there? we have more, next. and twenty-six vitamins and minerals. ensure. now up to 30 grams of protein for strength and energy! welcome to tide pods talk with gronk. i'm gronk! i'm big and awesome, but this guy is little, can it really clean? heck yeah it can! it's concentrated detergent plus stain fighters plus odor flighers that fight for clean. boom! even this entire bottle can't beat tide pods. and now a word from future gronk: ugh... tide pods. if it's

staffer in the white house, as the senior-most african-american in the white house, other than ben carson resigned it would be have been a tidal wave. why didn't you resign? >> yeah, the reason i didn't resign is because there were 100 students, 100 representatives from historically black colleges and universities, they're call hbcu all-stars. i had been preparing this conference that was going to happen in september. the white house conference on historically black colleges and universities. and i called armstrong williams and i said, i'm going to quit. this is it. i'm done. he said, you can't let those students down. you've been working -- you can't just leave in protest. you have to find someone to take your place. you have to find a way to make sure these initiatives are carried out. just like gary cohen who stayed off for months and months because he had financial issues on the table. there were issues important to me that i couldn't just throw up my hands. sure, i could have left in protest but those students never would have had the experience of a lifetime, to come to washington,

ben carson said he wouldn't do the things he is doing at hide. all the justices pretend they have new -- no political leanings. they pretend their political opinions don't affect their decisions and yet somehow when they wind up on the supreme court, all the liberals vote in the liberal direction all conservatives vote in the conservative directions not even judicially, but on political issues. bush v gore, the republicans came to death claim to care about state rights but they destroyed it. they are total liars. kavanaugh comes in and says these of the decisions i made were a question roe v. wade, i agree with robert lies during his confirmation hearings about how we called and i won't question is settled law. i don't believe it. it is pretty little lies you tell susan collins so she can say i asked him and he said he was ok. and now dutifully as a republican i will vote for him. those who didn't meet with them, should they -- those who met with kavanaugh, should they have met with them? host: guest: of course they should, it doesn't mean they s

and hud secretary ben carson didn't even know the event was taking place. i don't want to comment on her motivations in a case like that, but i think it's going to be very clear that if she were going to be the african-american point person at the white house she was doing a very poor job of it. and a lot of people in the white house ended up picking up the slack where they could and they excluded her in major einvestigator evernts going forward because she just brought problems more than solutions. >> you said she brought the receipts. i want to play the receipts that she brought. >> who chooses omarosa to be the liaison to the black community, when you know that she's universally loathed in the black community, she's hasn't been invite to the proverbial barbecue at the white house. >> i do want to play what omarosa had to say. >> my intent really was to make sure that i was a voice edadvo e advocating for education, advocating for justice reform, civil rights. there was so much happening while they were trying to dismantle ever accomplishment barack obama

on top of that, ben carson has decided to raise the rent on a lot of poor people looking for federal subsidies. you have jeff sessions looking at ending affirmative action, also looking at extending prison terms. so this is an administration, if you look at it, they were say they're champions of civil rights but people like the naacp say that only in the president's rhetoric and his policies and who he has chosen not to hire, he's not interested in civil rights. >> michael steel, donald trump saying triumphantly that mark burnett called to say there are no tapes. there is something about the claiming that there is no tapes that gives you the feeling that the person that is so excited there are no tapes may be worried that there was some possibility -- >> that there are tapes. >> -- in the years of that show that there might be tapes. >> i think that's the case. look, those sets, people sitting around talking and the back story on these particular tapes in this situation was, you know, they were in between shots and the president was commenting very openly and very freely. and, so --

ben carson is doing a good job for president trump.president trump continues not only to drain the swamp, but to meet his campaign promises, which he has pretty much met pretty much meant all the promises he has made and exceeded that. you are talking on an earlier segment about the stock market. i have people say to me, even people that make minimum wage, for example, are of little older and all of that. there's a little more money in their paychecks and they are able do a little more and they get an understanding about how to fix and repair their credit. people who were homeless, and hungry, there are problems. i worked for had believe it or not to get people off the street and into homes and into a pattern of trying to finish a ged, get a job, reunite their families. charles: so, alveda, it feels like the struggle for folks in stuck in the lower rungs is not a racial thing because people who are unfortunately stuck or whatever, have these obstacles, president trump is taking a different approach to things in these upsetting the esta

ben carson, secretary of hud that's doing some extraordinary things as a pilot project coming out inpeople should -- kind of like a one-stop shop service facility that's going to be in the heart of ib inner city detroit to service the community, very, very creative things that are going on in hud. we know that there's a hispanic secretary of labor, i believe, or commerce. i might have the two conflated. but regardless, look at the policies. we already know about record low unemployment. we know that the gap, which is normally huge, between back unemployment and white unemployment, good economic times or bad economic times, that gap has been slashed by 40%. it's at 3%. it virtually doesn't exist with hispanics and whites. here's the best part. it was just a few years ago, chris and ana, that small businesses were so pessimistic that more of them for the first time since the great depression, more of them were closing than opening -- >> what does that have to do with race? >> nfib -- because actually the biggest generator and fastest grower of small businesses, guess what? hispanic wom

campaign and in 2015, i wrote about how donald trump aides had provided damaging material about ben carsone "national enquirer" that found its way into theis something that donald trump used to punish his rivals. the fact that david pecker was given immunity to me is significant because clearly david pecker saw that he potentially had criminal exposure here for acting not as a media organization which has significant first amendment protections, but as an arm of the donald trump campaign for explicitly burying, buying and catching and killing these stories that would have hurt donald trump's chances of becoming president. so the fact that he cooperated with prosecutors and corroborated michael cohen's account that donald trump knew about the stormy daniels payment to me is significant. i just want to point out one other thing. during watergate, a lot of people focused on the break-in, but watergate as we've come to learn was a host of other nefarious and dirty tricks that richard nixon and his cronies did. and this investigation is just more evidence that this is not just about russia, don

ere's ben carson.ter and applause ] kellyanne conway, already addressed this issue perfectly well. roll the clip. >> omarosa was the most prominent high level african-american serving in the west wing on president trump's staff. who now is that person? >> african-american? >> yes. >> you -- we have jeron, who's done a fabulous job and very involved. >> jimmy: yeah, we have jeron.

[ laughter ] look, folks, what i'm saying is that wacky omarosa is a total liar. mean in her book, she sa she once walked in on me eating apper. i have never eaten. unless you count when the receipt was stuck to my big mac. [ laughter ] she also says i have a tanning bed in the white house. of course i do.at m i supposed

ben carson that is not upholding fair housing laws.pushing more war on drugs back, you know, taking away what president obama had fought to do. voting rights. you name it. this president calling african-americans, congresswoman waters, a low iq, talking against black folks who express themselves in this country, calling omarosa a dog. that does not sound like or represent -- the central park five. we can go on and on. this president cannot substitute employment rates with his lack of respect for the african-american community. and on top of all that, to know that the job quality in this country -- unemployment rate may be low, but the quality of jobs that people are working are not -- their salaries, their wages are not keeping up with inflation in this country, and there's something wrong with that. chris, the point that you made about the tax cuts, 83% of those tax cuts represent 1% in this country, not the everyday working people of this country, of which the african-american community is part of. >> ken. >> yeah. chris, where every

ben -- ben carson is one. a lot of people have asked me if they could join. they consider the schools to be so important in education, and now so important in safety. we want to harden our schools against attack improving communications between law enforcement, school officials, mental health professionals, and counselors; training school personnel so they better protect our students, including allowing qualified personnel to be armed. as you know, in florida, they went in with a bill that didn't have that, and they came out with a bill where the legislature wanted it. so that's up to the community, not up to the federal government. that's up to the community. improving our early warning system to make sure schools, families, and law enforcement can identify red flags and respond quickly. we want a very rapid response. some of the response has been incredible, and some of the response has not been good, obviously. you saw that very well. and, frankly, you reported it very well. we want to strengthen our mental health laws and procedures. so important. i think
