what's your reaction to what donny deutsch said? >> it's repugnant.nny deutsch on msnbc numerous times on numerous topics but the idea is repulsive. the idea that border security and a wall mean somehow you want america to be white most of your viewers know i married to a latina, beautiful and talented latina and a man over my house today was helping me on projects whose from el salvador and was talking about how he came to this country legally things everyone else should come legally. my wife's parents came to this country legally and they want everyone to come here legally. the question of race or ethnicity the question of what is america about and it's about everyone has to follow the same set of laws. the more people like donny deutsch talk about border security in the same vein as racism or kkk or ugly parts of our past the more i think they help the argument that the president is making wishes he simply wants to make sure that our country has immigration system that follows the law. liz: and a lot of minorities on border patrol in montrose with

donny deutsch's point there was exactly right. trump is technically the head of the department of justice. he can technically, and this is a president unbounded by norms, direct investigations. are they going -- you know, no -- i'm not saying the father should or shouldn't be looked at. that's up to the prosecutors who are working on the case, who are trying to get michael cohen to cooperate. but no one should be looking at the father-in-law because donald trump says so. and no one should be looking at him because he doesn't want michael cohen to testify. >> to our control room, we had a graphic made of the federal statute that encompasses all of this. i think it aired just prior to the donny deutsch interview this afternoon. we'll effort getting that on the screen. as i say to jeremy bash, reports from the control room are that you were nodding aggressively while the counselor was speaking. >> yeah. i think the president is unique as a witness intimidator in two respects. first, as mimi pointed out, he does oversee the executive

they don't pray on donny deutsch or pray on you and joe in their ivory towers but prey on working-class and those immigrant communities these ultra lives pretend to be speaking for. melissa: doug, how do we get past this? it does seem like more and more everybody is dug into their spot in group and living in the echo chamber of talking within whether social media or television or whatever and how to get past this divide? >> melissa, you can't force people to do right into think right. the most hateful and troubling part of this was my first reaction was funny but the anti- semitic remark, that is beneath msnbc. donald trump has been the most inclusive of jewish people of any president in my opinion since woodrow wilson. when he came into office he pointed secretary of veterans affairs who was doing secretary of treasury with chief economic advisor. melissa: let us know what people in the audience know. listen. >> adolf hitler rose to power to the germany in 1932 after democratic elections and he rode a wave of nationalism and enticement them to power. replace it i semitism with all lati

this is a guy called donnie deutsche. reading aloud from a dream journey.atch he is completely serious. >> this is all that donald has left. this is not a wall. it's let's keep america white again. something that talks the 3789, 40, 41% base that says the black man, jewish man, banker man coming to take your life. you are not in the position you are in because of you, it's because of everything else. that is all he has left. >> take your wife? bizarre. what does it mean? who knows. easier to interpret is rick wilson. he has held just enough low level political jobs that cable television producers build him as a republican strategist. wilson seems to spend most of his life opining opining in a st bask that the other channel specializes in. he is often shouting the loudest. what makes wilson notable like so many on the left he moved on from hating trump to hate people who voted for trump, which is to say a lot of the country. this is wilson last night on cnn. >> the wall has always been a con for donald trump's credulous, rude, tin-tooth base. it's always bee

and donny deutsch joins us for the hour. let me start with you, chuck rosenberg. as roger stone was in court today, you have to fight the temptation to feel any sort of numbness around the event of another person who's been in donald trump's political arsenal for decades appearing before court to face his, you know, whatever his legal fate will be. >> it's becoming remarkably reteer routine, isn't it? you'd think for any other president in any other time, it would be extraordinary. i think you're exactly right. i also think listening to john brennan during your introduction that there's more to come. there are other shoes to drop. not to be too cliched. i think there's lots of clues out there, nicolle, that mueller isn't quite done yet. >> well, you never say anything willy-nilly. what are those clues, chuck? >> i think there's a bunch. i mean, we know that the grand jury that mueller was using was extended for another six months. that's clue number one. we know, or at least i think we know, that the house permanent select committee on intelligence has not yet pro

donny deutsch, wilbur ross, what is that about besides being completely out of touch? >> that's actually a person who shouldn't be in that position. that's not even let them eat cake. that's let them eat seven-layer cake. when trump says they'll work with you. no, that's not how it works people living paycheck to paycheck cannot walk into their local banks and say, hey guys, let's sit down and work out a long-term strategy. wilbur ross will be a poster boy going forward in the 200 election. that clip and trump's clip will show up over and over again. it's not just those 800,000 people. it's anybody in this country that lives paycheck to paycheck and that's a lot of people. that's reprehensible. i think he should step aside from his job based on that. that is not our commercial secretary. i don't know whose it is. >> it's so embarrassing he was confirmed by the senate, wilbur ross. all the reports he's the guy falling asleep in cabinet meetings and then this is his connection with the american people and how people are genuinely struggling to pay for their insulin to pa

donny deutsch on another network was saying that, you know, i'm sorry, what was the exact quote? america white again. now, what they don't know, you are hispanic american and 51% of border patrol agents are also hispanic american. how out of touch is the media on this issue? >> definitely are out of touch. yes, i am a proud american and proud hispanic. and at least 51% of our workforce in the border patrol are hispanics. it's just very responsible that any media organization would encourage or encourage that type of rhetoric. it's interesting because that type of behavior encourages other media organizations to do the same. in fact, florida morning times from my hometown ended up publishing an article that spread the hate what we were doing. instead of reporting on the facts that they are demand ago wall to protect our country they decided to report on other things that aren't important. pete: this is what that gentleman had to say on another network. watch. >> you have four white men four stoic strong white men of a certain age, not smiling, by the way. and, you know, look. this
