howie: emily jashinsky, the president taking enormous heat over canceling this visit. layers agreed to come to what is normally a non-partisan event at the white house. emily: that's the key. trump saw this as an opportunity to gin up a culture war. so i also think what you are saying is what you just said, there is a lot of eagles players that seem to have backed out of the agreement. it was a low gels i cal and p.r. play. howie: what fueled the media criticism, philippe. no eagles player took a knee during the anthem in this past season. the president does like this culture war. philippe: it was to tremendous political effect. the president is looking for every opportunity he can to fight that culture war. first it was during the season, now it's every time someone comes. no a single eagles player took a knee during the season except to pray. but it's unfortunate. sports should be the last vestige where people can disagree. emily and i should be able to watch a game and not kill each other. howie: the press goes crazy over this because they like the culture war. emily

emily jashinsky. and lily joletta. john burnett is with us as well. gop strategic advisor. ford, let me start with you. the pressure is mounting. we know bills will be submitted tomorrow. but president trump had to make this move today. he expressed outrage. he said he was shocked and appalled. the talking point is why didn't it happen sooner? >> it put the pause on the over thetop outrage. over the top outrage. the primary interest is not these children. it's full and open borders and release and and necessary city for all illegally detained immigrants. charles: the left is saying it's not enough. then what is enough? what do they expect to get? >> that's where this is going to get interesting. we have this executive order that's supposed to stop things in the immediate future. but we are punting to congress. there are a million problems with our current immigration law. and to see things change we obviously need legislation. democrats and republicans will have too come together in some fashion. republicans will have to come together in to fashion. and there is not even ag

emily jashinsky, and richard fowler. until the white house denounced this language as vicious and vile. i read the media reports and they were, wow, did you see what sam said? emily: some of the media reports were almost applauding her like it was funny. i am glad you played the second part of that clip. it goes on. i think also very inappropriate. what's interesting about all of this, i don't think samantha bee would have had the will to apologize if it hadn't happened in such proximity to the roseanne barr incident. howie: to do it in a pre-taped segment. the executive producer wrote, so, feckless c word seems to be trending. do you think she would still be employed if she had used that awful word against michelle obama? riard: the only reason we are having this conversation about samantha bee is because it happened so close to roseanne. but i don't think you can conflate the two cases. not only does roseanne have a history of bad behavior. but since getting the show she has been warned about her behavior over and over

howie: joining us, emily jashinsky, and cathy areu. ily, many in the media adopting this label that the republican party is a trumpian cult. what does that tell you about the journalistic mindset. emily: i think there is some glee that bob corker gave them the word. do i believe there is too much deference to the president? absolutely. i think it's tooer to say there is some sort of cult around donald trump. i think it's short-sighted. howie: cathy, even well before corker i did a google search. the "new york times" last week the cult of trump. national journal last year, trump's cult overwhelms the gop. cathy: i guess the press did it first, but the gop jumped on it so the gop is owning this word. trump does have followers. journalists -- right-leaning journalists as george will was talking to bill maher about this and saying it's not so much a cult as a culture of fear. they are dissecting it and analyzing it and take it to the next level. is it really a cult? we are moving away to the c-word and moving to another word. howie: i don't
