and all i have to say is i know cory lewandowski. i know he has a family, he loves them, he has kids. that was shameful, cory. apologize. that was awful. >>> when we come back president trump trying to blame everyone but himself for the mess he created at our southern border. now he says democrats are at fault for his own policy. i'm going to ask one democrat what he thinks about that. i was wondering if an electric toothbrush really cleans better than a manual. and my hygienist says it does but they're not all the same. who knew? i had no idea. so she said, look for one that's shaped like a dental tool with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to gently remove more plaque, and oral-b is the first electric toothbrush brand accepted by the american dental association for its effectiveness and safety. my mouth feels so clean. i'll only use an oral-b. oral-b. brush like a pro. only remfresh uses keep 1 in ion-powered melatonin to deliver up to 7 hours of sleep support. number 1 sleep d

and all i have to say is i know cory lewandowski. i know he has a family, he loves them, he has kids. that was shameful, cory. apologize. >>> when we come back president trump trying to blame everyone but himself for the mess he created at our southern border. now he says democrats are at fault for his own policy. i'm going to ask one democrat what he thinks about that. they must be painstakingly crafted. out of titanium, aluminum, and high tensile steel. hand-built by masters, scrutinized by experts, and tested... ...relentlessly. the lexus high performance line. experience exhilaration crafted to the extreme. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. which is why i use armor tall ultra shine wash wipes.y. they effectively remove dirt, dust and grime with no water. that car is in tip top shape! we are both in tip top shape! armor all, it's easy to look good. you might be missing something.y healthy. your eyes. that's why there's ocuvite. ocuvite helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. it has lutein, zeaxanthin and om

there are people watching this who are enjoying it and cory lewandowski is one of them.ould it surprise anyone that the campaign manager of the presidential candidate who actually himself on a stage in front of his supporters mocked a disabled reporter and made fun of a reporter's kwl -- physical disability and surprised he would do this. if you put him on television, there is a likelihood of that happening and the real question is why would anyone put him on television. >> there is -- there is this kind of braggadocios from the white house and this happened when -- when it was a complete cluster and it was -- it was -- a crisis sand protests at every airport and quotes from bannon and -- and they said we wanted this and like making the liberals cry and they like it, do you think that is true? >> well steve bannon said it is true. and i don't know why we would want to doubt that. it seems they get energy from it. it seems the president gets energized by it. the president seems more energized by this now than a couple of days ago. here i am standing in front of the larges

they don't think that cory lewandowski made fun of a 10-year-old girl with down syndrome. >> what isour take, kevin? >> i think that he's remained entrenched with the political apparatus. >> the political climate has certainly sobered us up. >> what a week. >> what a week. we were talking about sarah sanders, but the same thing happened to kirsten nielson and it's going on. kevin, real quick, what is next week like? >> well, on my radar, the king of abdullah, jordan, will be at the white house. this immigration issue is very much on the minds of american in america as well as the world. >> thanks, kevin cirilli. great to have you on this morning. that will do it for me, i'm dara brown. at the top of the hour, "politics nation." and "your business" is up next. dear future us, we have a mission: to help hand everyone a better world. that's why we, at the coca-cola company, make shore breaks with actual coconuts. tea, organically. treats for celebrations. water with added minerals for taste. dear future us, that's why we're striving to do good. and help our communities get the education

chris, how does somebody like cory lewandowski remain on a super pac for mike pence? >> well, this is a real question about the moral fabric of the trump administration and the republican party and the nation politics more general. i think the cory lewandowski moment is connected to referring to children as an infestation. fundamentally, there is a process of rhetorical and conceptual dehumanization of human beings. the woman outside a church observing mass last night who talk to mariana atencio who was turned back after seeking asylum at the border which is her legal right to do. her message to donald trump was "we are human beings." fundamentally that's what is at issue here in the totality of the political conversation that we are having. i think it is why this particular issue with watching children be ripped away from their parents has this kind of effect. because it is an operational way in which the view of someone like cory lewandowski, wah wah, the view of they're sending rapists, they're coming to infest us, we're seeing the consequences. >> it is not just m

also what about cory lewandowski, for me as a republican, he said this appalling moment on televisionomp womp with a 10-year-old sown syndrome parent and he mocked that and he invites him to go aboard air force one to las vegas on saturday and he's treated as a hero according to the reporting and coming to the republican dinner and taking selfies and signing autographs. that is terrible. >> i'm not saying cory lewandowski could be persecuted or go out to dinner and people could stay away from the table and stuff but for the president of the united states to reach out to someone who just behaved terribly, in that respect the president matters more than anyone else. >> it is a good way for people to find these thing as pauling to take action and speak out for companies about what they should be doing with regards to someone like cory lewandowski and say, next time you're having a conference, maybe don't book him for a five or six figure speaking gig and if you are, you're not the company we want to pate onnize. if they want to push back against this kind of behavior, rather than telling

. >> and you also write that the president is taking advice from like cory lewandowski and dave bo bosseng that if you look back at around this time two years ago was when cory lewandowski was fired from the campaign as the first campaign manager and donald trump didn't walely want to fire him. he was pushed -- >> jared made him do it. >> he wasn't the only one. >> ivanka. >> and he has regretted it basically ever since and continued to seek cory lewandowski's council. he talks to him multiple times a week and i don't expect that to change. >> shed light on this explosion from president trump on air force one. the communique was agreed to and there is no disagreement with the communique from the g-7 and the white house agrees with it all. justin trudeau said what i think -- you heard steven hadley say that he went too far but it could have been ignored and yet this explosion, calling him weak and aides saying there is a special place in hell for justin trudeau. tap into the trump psyche. >> a lot of it is what you see is what you get. he felt like he was disrespected an it is not clear t

here's how cory lewandowski reacted. watch this. >> look, i read today about a 10-year-old with down's syndrome taken from her mother, put in a cage. i read about -- >> wawa. >> did you say that -- how dare you. how absolutely dare you, sir. how dare you. infants are taken from their mothers. >> this is why i continue to have the conversation about the fact this is not -- this is inhumane and this is not about politics. >> the kids are the ones being punished for this. >> and this is a child with down's syndrome, someone so vulnerable. and yet cory lewandowski there. >> no compassion, no concern. >> no compassion whatsoever. >> joining us live on the ground in texas, nbc national news correspondent cal perry. let's talk about where you are. they're building a massive tent city or more accurately called a camp. what have you seen so far? >> reporter: a camp that's being built out of eyesight from where we are, a quarter mile that way, no line of sight which is intentional. the story typical of the story across the souther

>> reporter: on fox news a discussion on the topic turned toxic during an exchange involving cory lewandowski. >> i read today about a 10- year-old girl with down syndrome who was taken from her mother and put in a cage. >> wa-wa. >> i read about a -- did you say that to a 10-year-old with down syndrome being -- >> reporter: over her support for the policy, homeland security security secretary nielsen was booed out of a d.c. mexican restaurant. [ screaming ] >> reporter: in a rare move, some republicans backed away from the president. >> i think he is wrong in this particular area today. >> reporter: while other lawmakers didn't just disagree. they raged at the policy. >> this was a policy n vented implemented and executed by president donald trump. >> reporter: andria borba, kpix 5. >>> the "associated press" has said the trump administration has been sending babies and preschool aged children to three tender age facilities in texas and a fourth one will be set up in houston. >>> this morning in sacramento, the u.s. district court will hold the first hearing in the trump administration's law

just did come up president trump and tweeting moments ago about something we talked about with cory lewandowskiime minister justin trudeau is being so indignant bringing up the relationship between united states and canada, but he doesn't bring up the fact that they charge us up to 300% on dairy hurting our farmers, killing our agriculture. it will be interesting to see where that goes. samantha samantha bee was back t night after that really awful joke which was not a joke at all about ivanka trump calling her a feckless word that we won't say, listen now and tell us what you say about the apology. >> a lot of people were offended and angry that i used an epithet to describe the president's daughter and advisor last week. it is a word i have used on the show many times hoping to reclaim it, this time i'm using it as an insult i crossed the line i regret it and i apologize for that. i want this show to be challenging and i wanted to be honest but i never intended to hurt anyone except ted cruz. many men were also offended by the use of the word -- i do not care about that. >> martha: here is ca

when you have cory lewandowski say whomp whomp whomp, or -- she misses her dog when she leaves -- >> she almost cried when she left her dog. >> yeah, it's crazy. those are not things that help the president get a winning picture. i talked to the congressional leader last night, this boils down to the -- we are a nation that's coming a hispanic population that's increasing and the votes are going to be more so for democrats. they're looking at all of the short-term and long-term plays as it relates to this. this is not about politics at this moment. many people are talking about the humanitarian piece. children being separated from their parents, crying, left in kennels, not knowing if they're going to be reunified with their parents. this is an ugly issue for this president and he's got to get over this hurdle. >> katelyn, a moment ago you mentioned strongly worded statements. my real question is how far does that go? anyone can release a strongly worded statement and back up every policy that this president puts forward. signs every bill that he wants signed. this is my question to

let's bring spring and former trump campaign manager cory lewandowski, currently the chief strategist for the great america committee, the clinical action committee for vice president mike pence. if you are also the coauthor of that book with david bossi so good to see you today. let's talk about where we are with the president's response to all of this. >> what this is is the president's questioning and rightfully so when are we going to see the ig report on the individuals like jim comey and peter strzok and lisa page and all the other individuals who not only were heading up the clinton email scandal investigation, but then transferred over to start this fake russia collusion investigation? what we know is there are some bad applf the top of the fbi, specifically if you look at director comey, the deputy director who has now been accused of lying under oath on three separate occasions including the very day that he assumed the position as acting director of the fbi, we are the criminal referrals for the people who are breaking the law? is a validuen. this president has been in offi

if you are cory lewandowski and you do something horrendous and you don't apologize for attempt to apologize at all that is a worse fall. kennedy: i was watching that last night and he gave the win on that and obviously we have gotten to a point in our political discourse where people have to reach toward insults and hatred as quickly as possible when they feel like they have lost ground. i hate to say it that's when sobriety comes apart when there is no longer rationality to rely upon. if you don't have an adult in the room let's find a way to talk about this. the two of you disagree a lot but you do it on your radio show. we are in a bad place and cory was given the opportunity today on live television several times to apologize and clarify and he didn't take it. there are people who are saying these are child actors. that is horrific and that should not be said and the peter fonda quote should not be said. >> kennedy i agreed humor. we are in a place where the worst on each side keeps getting lower and lower. we shouldn't give it to them. we have to do better. the issues are more importan

infest was in trump's tweets, wah-wah coming from cory lewandowski and now this from this fox morninghor. >> like it or not, these aren't our kids. show them compassion, but it is not like he is doing this to the people of idaho or texas. these are people from another country and now people are saying that they are more important than people in our country who are paying taxes who have needs as well. >> it is those first few words, these aren't our kids. i should point out he later said he didn't mean it like that, but where is the civility? >> look, this was a bad issue, a bad week for the president on this issue across the board. but i wouldn't underestimate the sliver in this country that this is playing to. remember trump won the election i think you could argue on smoking immigration fears, on the wall. so i would -- this is not a winner for them, but they are already in a hole in this midterm election. i think they are talking to that 35% who show up at rallies no matter what and want something done about people coming over the border even in the worst conditions. even heartbrea

he saw political gain and as cory lewandowski said they saw this as an issue, used it and created a human rights crisis on the border. now what we see is just massive monumental incompetence. when you have a president who is improvisational, impulsive and doesn't care about process, planning or principle then you get what we see today. i think they don't know what to do. i think they are scrambling. i think they are telling us the program is continuing in part because he insists on saying that. but i honestly have never seen such rank incompetence. this is what happens when you have a president who just doesn't give a damn. >> do you care? yeah. we care. right? especially about those kids. can you imagine this, nick? we are being told -- one lawmaker told us these kids may never be put back together, reunited with their families. can you imagine that? >> my sense is that most will be reunited at some point. but it is unconscionable they have been taken away as long as they have and there are cases where putting them back together will be difficult and perhaps impossible. in some cases the

cory lewandowski. there's a lot of fallout from what you said. let me remind people about the back and forth you had with the democratic operative. >> about a 10-year-old girl with down syndrome who was taken from her mother and put in a cage. i read about a -- >> did they just say wah-wah? how dare you. how dare you! >> when you -- >> how absolutely dare you, sir. >> let's get through the noise. cory? tell me that you did not mean to insult kids with down syndrome or families coming across with kids like that. >> chris, of course i never meant to insult anybody with down syndrome. who i was talking to was zach. i understand what the perception is here and what the media wants to talk about. but what zach was attempting to do was to use a child with down syndrome to politicize an issue. what he didn't tell you, what you need to understand was that person, that poor child was not taken from her parent because she came to this country illegally. that poor child was taken from her parent because her mother has been suspected as a material witness in

you have cory lewandowski and steve bannon and i think scaramucci.ael grimm running as the hare to trumpism in many ways. take a listen. >> they have flat screen tv and toys and things they never had. they have comfortable living conditions. so the idea that it is somehow cruel compared to the journey those parents just took the kids on, how do you say that? i think the pashs that took them on the journey is cruel and i think they are unfit. >> that is him talking about the conditions under which the kids separated from the parents, they have flat screen tvs and toys and things they never had in their life. >> that is a despicable things to say. how would he like his child taken away and not know how to get in touch but they have a flat screen tv so just calm down. that is completely crazy. and also the idea that these parents are bad parents and unfit parents for fleeing violence and trying to get their children into another country is completely wrong. they're heroes. what anybody would do -- i would do it nor my nieces or your children, the only c

i think we are now going to start the process of denuclearization. >> bill: here we have cory lewandowskind also wrote the best seller "let trump be trump." and our adriene and michael, i'll start with you. you said folks, take your time. this will be a series of meetings over months if not years. it won't be in one shot. what do you think about where we ar now? >> we're in a great place now. we'll see where it goes. if they're serious and want the pressure off they'll allow inspectors in quickly and we're at the point because this level of pressure has never been placed on the north korean reg. they've never faced this level of sanctions and oil imports and everything that keeps the economy going and the economy is weak and fragile. they need help from china and currency and need oil. they can't produce it on their own. the pressure on them in the past year since the trump administration has been high and that's why we're at this point. >> sandra: cory, as meone who wrote the book, "let trump be trump." did you see him accomplish what he wanted to? >> i thi been ableo accomplish a seriou
