>> it's a good question, don.looking at the whole sweep of american history, there were some very nasty periods of incivility in 1880s, for example, in the 1920s. no, i don't think we've ever seen anything completely like this. part of the reason is, that whether there is or is not inside himself, president trump gives every indication by what he says and what he does and what he doesn't do. that he's mean as a wolf recent and we've never had a president that had that representation. reputations of presidents who haven't been good, presidents who broke the law, nixon. but widespread, not necessarily a majority by probably a majority, but widespread is the president is that mean, and this lack of civility, not just among competing candidates for an office, but on a day-to-day bases, sinking. decency and civility has to be born anew with ooeeach generati. the president has a lot to do with setting the tone. the tone is reduced to a low level that i have not seen before. >> couple of thing here, it is extremely sel e

go ahead, stacey. >> i can't speak for the president, don.he thinks -- >> and some people are defending him, but you're not one of them. but go on. >> i do think there's a huge dichotomy here. you're talking about something roseanne tweeted out as offensive as it was, it was on twitter, the show's on hiatus. they racked the last episode. they don't come back to start taping for weeks. she's on her personal account, tweets out something offensive, she's gone. samantha bee pre-taped that program. they actually had writers write that for her, went through the whole editorial process and was brought before a live studio audience, filmed, wrapped, edited, sent over for production and then released. that's a huge difference. >> sent out on social media. >> so you're saying because it happened on network television it's not as egregious, and if we're talking about things that are offensive, see you next tuesday, how many times has bill maher called sarah palin see you next tuesday and other women on the right? i can tell you, don, i'm really wonderi

>> hi, don.king about is one of the dramatic stories we have heard here over the last few days in mcallen, texas, where we have been reporting on this, the policy of the trump administration, the zero tolerance policy. according to an attorney with the civil rights of texas who talked to one of these women several ys, told the attorney at her young child was taken away from her as she was breast-feeding that child inside a detention facility. and then, when she resisted she was then handcuffed and the child was taken away. this coupled with other stories we've heard from public defenders and immigrant rights activists who says families feel like in many cases that you wer children were going to be taken away so that they can get cleanedp only to find out that they were taken to different facilities. we have heard a number of these stories. officials border protecttells u of these stories are true, that they are unsubsted legations at this point. but nonetheless, we have heard this from a number o

>> you know, i do, don.hings have happened in the last few days, but i think the last two weeks have been really consumed by this issue. and americans across the country, democrats, republicans and independents say this is wrong. they cannot believe this is happening. and outrage has been real. the idea that this president would pass a zero-tolerance, zero humanity policy and separate children from their parents, put these kids in cages, i think it's got everybody across the country outraged. and so those voices, i think, where being heard. obviously the last few days we've had a lot of things going on. but on saturday there will be a massive round of protests across it country. there are 400,000 people who have signed up, people who are going to be wearing white at rallies across the country. every single state across the country, i think it's 650 events including a big one here in d.c. at lafayette scare at 11:00 a.m., and that's because people believe this has to be changed. and you know what? the preside

>> don, i agree.en, i think it's important that our government look like our country largely. i think it should largely look like our country. and i think the administration has work to do in that regard. and i've encouraged publicly and privately encouraged the administration particularly in regards to hispanics, that's sort of my lane, i think we need more hispanics. we have some who are in really important positions, but i think we need more, quite frankly. >> the president speaks to republican lawmakers yesterday. mostly everyone standing up and applauding, white men. what do you think? >> well, this is big problem for the republican party. we know that, don. they're facing demographic distinction if they don't drop their reliance on race to divide people. they are getting about 91%, 92% of republicans are now white voters. it will go the way of the wigs if they don't begin to appeal to more people. and they're not trying. in the president's speech tonight he went back to saying mexico doesn't sen

>> yep, that's it don. can be tough on border, you can be an immigration hawk, want to build a wall, that's different than being inhumane and not having compassion. i think what they're doing, i'm guessing this is more of a -- jeff sessions is an interesting dude too, right, this is a guy who allows himself to be publicly humiliated so he gets to keep the job where he gets to separate immigrant parents from their children. that's the pay off for him, really bizarre. i think this is absolutely bad and donald trump of course is lying. >> that is, the president he said the opposite. this is him this morning. watch this. >> the children can be taken care of quickly, beautifully and immediately. the democrats forced that law upon our nation, i hate it. i hate to see separation of parents and children. >> okay, that has been debunked by everyone. rick, again he is blaming democrats. if he wanted to change administration policy, he could. >> don, this is a president whole do an executive order to get more tarter s

and i think it makes sense, don. michael cohen is not deciding unilaterally to put stormy daniels on shawn hannity. stormy daniels who allegedly had a relationship with the president, do you honestly think -- does anyone really think that michael cohen who can barely add two plus two to equal four is making that decision on his own, to put stormy daniels on shawn hannity? nobody believes that. just like nobody believes michael cohen is unilaterally deciding he's going to meet with the first lady of the united states and talk about stormy daniels. >> what's your evidence? >> well, i'm not ready to disclose that, but if i'm wrong about it let michael cohen or mr. davidson or someone else come forward tonight and tell me that i'm wrong. they're not going to do that, just like we have yet to hear the denial from michael cohen and his lawyers that there are audio recordings between michael cohen and donald trump, which is what i stated a week or two weeks ago. they have yet to deny that because that's true as well. you kn

there's a lot of history there, don.at the demilitarized zone on the korean peninsula. there used to long battles over how long the flag poles were carrying each flag. that matters to them and gives a lot of power to this north korea leader. >> jim sciutto in singapore. we'll get back to you. thank you very much. so, jonathan, the president is facing criticism from fellow republicans for the turmoil he unleashed at the g-7 summit. watch this. >> seems like the president loves infuriating our friends and befriending our folks who've been our natural opposition. so that's just who he is. >> that is completely unhelpful. the alliance is strong enough to withstand this disagreement, this unacceptable rhetoric, but it does not advance the cause. >> back live to singapore before we address that. let's go there. leaving this working lunch now. do we have that? we lost the shot. several events happening in this long bilateral meeting and now they're going to the working lunch we mentioned would be obviously both with north korea

you spoke to a source who was at the meeting and described don, jr.'interactions with the russians. tell us what happened. >> well, according to the source, and this was confirmed by the meeting -- various meeting participant's testimony to the senate judiciary committee was that donald trump, jr. was quite keen to bring the focus back to what he believed was promised to setting up this meeting, which was dirt on hillary clinton from the russian government. you know, people came in there, came into the meeting at trump tower, started talking about what a great view of central park it was, and he said let's talk business, i believe you have something for me. the russians started talking about something else entirely. he said what does this have to do with hillary? and the second he understood he wasn't going to get the dirt on hillary he thought he was going to get or he hoped he was going to get the source i spoke to said the light went out in his eyes. he was not interested. >> i want to give a couple of quotes here. you talk about him trying to be us

>> we have to get something out of it, don. we shouldn't take meetings like this just because the president thinks it would be great for us to be friends with russia. of course it would be great to be friends with everybody in the world. but with an enemy like russia or at least an adversary like russia we should have an objective going into the meeting. and i think being friends with russia only helps us if we can confront them on what they did in our last elections and what they continue to do in syria by supporting bashar assad and the human rights conduct that's leading to the loss of life of people and leading them to confront what they're doing in ukraine. so i hope we get something out of this other than just donald trump being friends with another authoritarian figure in the world. >> he has previously said you can only ask putin so many times about meddling -- you know, russian meddling in the 2016 election. he believes the putin denials of russian interference there. so what do you think the topic will be in the meeti
