joining me now is joan walsh, evan sigfried, and shannon pettypiece, white house correspondent for bloomberg. joan, starting with you, a lot of noise. much of it worth discussing. >> right. >> but the big development on health care is that the wizard, the guru, mitch mcconnell, did not reach his self-imposed policy objective this week. >> right. but i mean trump is such a gremlin in this whole thing. he's worse than a gremlin. that's actually a nice word for him. but he's the one who right before the inauguration made -- he said it on the campaign trail, ari, but we didn't really know what he meant. he wasn't serious throughout much of the campaign. but he really made a big push a few weeks before the inauguration to say he was here -- you know, people were talking about repeal and delay. that was the way they were going to fool us. there were obstacles to it. it wasn't necessarily going to happen, but he made a big stink about we can't do that, and he was kind of right. it would be politically a nightmare. but he was the one who really pushed them to do it at the same time. he obviously did

what have you done for women, joan walsh? about it. >> juan: i have a different viewpoint. >> dana: you are siding with joan walsh? >> juan: i will say this for joan walsh and people looking at the trump family -- i don't think anybody is all down on the family. >> jesse: are you watching the news? >> juan: i think you guys enjoyed the idea -- if you haven't noticed, the women around donald trump, they all ae very stylish, extremely beautiful -- >> dana: everyone just praised michelle obama's office. >> juan: they talked about her muscle tone, everything. that's fair. >> kimberly: what are you talking about? that's all a compliment. oh, my gosh. >> juan: she said she looked ornamental. >> kimberly: does not address that's made for work. that's a dress designed to show off your girly -- it is sexist. >> juan: i don't think it's sexist and what she's saying and what dana said, look at the woman's work. look at what she has done. >> kimberly: are you better there may be because you can wear that outfit and i wear a dress? no. >>

back with me now, "the nation's" joan walsh.uld you grade ivanka whether it comes to championing this platform of equal pay for women's rights? >> oh, i hate to give her a grade, but in everything she's tried to do, we don't see yet that she's been influencing her father much. so i guess i've got to kind of give her a c, maybe a c-plus for effort. >> do you believe her though at face value, heidi, that this is something that she is passionate about and that you have a friend in the white house through her? >> well, i'd like to believe that. certainly she's talking about paid family leave. that's a big new departure. we haven't had a two campaigns at the same time, both parties, talking about providing paid family leave. so, yes, i think she is speaking out on some issues which is great. better than not speaking out. >> i mean i think that there is -- sometimes you need to back up your words. actions speak louder than words. yesterday we've got this $50 million pledge to the new women's initiative. we had the president talking ab

but joan walsh an msnbc writer said her dress was a cultural problem. >> she is sitting in for her father at the g-20. >> with big bows on her sleeves. the fact she sat in for her father in a dress that was so incredibly ornamental was such a contradiction in terms. daughters have great value. they are property. that's not a dress made to go out in the world and make a difference. that's a dress designed to show off your girliness. howie: it can be dangerous to comment on what women wear. that's it for this edition of "mediabuzz." i'm howard kurtz. check out our facebook page and give us a like, and consider the conversation on twitter. you can dvr the show if you think you might be doing something else on sunday morning. we are back next sunday 11:00 a.m. eastern with the my .

but joan walsh called for rex tillerson and hr mcmaster to quit their positions because they as men didn't sit in for ivanka, a one and. jesse: i'll be waiting for those resignation letters. what's wrong with wearing pink if you are a feminist. >> i don't think there is anything wrong with wearing pink. if you do talk to liberals and democrats and people who are self-defined feminists, they talk about the policy issues, and the policy issues are clear. she has made inroads on issues like paid maternal leaves. but on on ther issues this administration is anti-feminist. who in their right mind as a democrat will expect to support ivanka trump. she is part of the administration that is anti-democrat. jesse: i think ivanka is considered more of a moderating influence on her father. wouldn't you agree, katie? >> so-called feminists wants to define feminism in way they see fit while claiming to represent all women. it's all about anti-capitalism big government socialist policies. the number one policy they care about, they don't care about the economy or jobs for women, they care about abortion.

over the weekend for example, joan walsh blamed white racism for the successful donald trump. >> theows that fear of a changing america is the number one factor that you can see that really derides a white trump photo a white donald trum donald trump -- a white nontrump voter. >> tucker: you hear that a lot, is not helping. jesse lee peterson, founder of bond, he is also wrote a book called the antidote, he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. have you noticed an exhilarating tendency to make everything about race? especially in the last year? >> i have. thank you for having me on. happy independence day to you. i have to tell you, tucker, on november 9th, i woke up early in the morning. it turned on fox news because i wanted the real news. i wanted to check and see if president trump had one back. when i found out that he had won, i went to cloud nine and i have been going off the feeling ever since. we finally have a government. a president, who is going to keep his word. keeping his word by putting america first, he doesn't care what color you are, male or female, he loves u

. >> joining me now indira, a washington columnist for "the boston globe," and also joan walsh, nationalorrespondent for the nation. joan, andy card used to say, you don't roll out a big product in august, or at least not a product you're excited about. >> not something you really want to sell. you want to wait until the fall when you're excited about something. i remember that too. this is crazy. also the idea of ted cruz as pitchman. i mean, i know he's doing some weird ideological shape-shifting by suggesting that maybe they cut -- not cut but actually leave the taxes, some of the taxes in place. he's trying to act like, you know, the firefighter on the scene, but he's widely despised by his colleagues. i mean al franken, you know, joked that -- >> i know what you're going to say. >> i know. you know, people hate him more than i do, and i hate him. so this is a very, very weird situation. also people like jerry moran are home and hearing about why people are afraid of what they're trying to do. >> right. >> so i have no idea what they're doing. they should have talked to andy card. >>

joining me, host of npr latino usa, joan walsh, correspondent at the nation.om, and fernand. thank you for being here. let's talk about the war on facts. "new york times" reported donald trump essentially told a lie every day for the first 40 days of his presidency. there's a calendar we can put up shows there, you can see all of the dots are when he told a public lie. you can see he is lying all the time in the beginning of his administration. giving you first crack at this. you used to have a thing you used to say, fernand. when you hear believe me, that's your signal that the lying is happening. what does it mean that that hasn't cut into his 36 to 37% support at all. >> it means the koolaid is still running strong, but you have to begin with the premise, joy, that every single word that comes out of the mouth of donald trump and every single word he types on his twitter is a lie. if we accept that premise, and i think there's more than enough evidence to suggest that's the truth, we know and can interpret and dismiss anything that comes out of the presiden

. >> joan walsh reported that as well, on capitol hill it was about -- in the short term it was about the money for the -- taxpayer money that could or couldn't be used for surgeries and for transitioning and all of a sudden they looked up and saw the president tweeting about a complete reversal of policy. >> regardless of what you think about the policy, there's the the procedural way the president went about doing it. we have to take a break, let's talk about that when we come back. we'll continue the organization and hear what senator tammy duckworth told me tonight about her military service and the president's lack thereof. later, just what is the president's strategy when it comes to his attorney general? another day, another tweet. is there another shoe about to drop? at panera, a salad is so much more than one thing. more than one flavor, or texture, or color. a good clean salad is so much more than green. and with panera catering, more for your event. panera. food as it should be. so you miss the big city? i don't miss much... definitely not the traffic. excuse me, doctor...

joining us now joy reid and joan walsh. joy, how's the constitution doing? how's it doing? >> i love that set up. my geeky little heart is happy to hear you go through that. i am found of reminding people that first branch of government is the congress. if you want a better president, you need to get a better congress. it's a lesson that america has failed to learn. as you laid out what the president does, sign bills that's he's sent by congress. the other thing the president has done going back to the very beginning is sort of set the american ideal, explain the american ideal, sort of explain america to itself as the only elected official elected by a majority, at least the states, if not of the people. donald trump is the first president in my lifetime, probably in anybody's lifetime who does not understand the american ideal and even if he did, i'm not sure he would explain it because all he does is talk about himself. he were talking about the bill paxton character in independence day. donald trump is like on the alien's side. he didn't care about the humans around him

joining us now to talk about national affairs correspondent joan walsh and noel.s, thank you very much for joining us on this holiday. noel, i'll start with you and i'll start with, i think, the big question surrounding this meeting. the question reporters have been asking and the president's critics want to know. will he bring up russia's interference in our election. >> that is the big question that everyone is wanting to know. i have no way of knowing. but my feeling is that he's not. you know, the big, the big thing about the g-20 is who is actually going to drive the conversation. who is going to be the powerhouse here? you know, you've got tareo real that putin is very experienced on this stage and you are dealing with two men. you know, trump is going to want to have all the attention and very centered around everything is around trump. it is going to be very interesting. i feel like the conversation on the agenda is going to deal with syria. it's going to deal with crimia. you know, dealing with the annexation of crimia and then touching on iran. those are

. >> joan walsh and dorian ward. an, do you think regular citizens speaking out here has had an impact? >> oh, absolutely, ari. i grew up in the shadow of the reagan revolution when republicans were the party of family values, supposedly. and one thing that's happened in the last couple months is that medicaid is the agency of family values. with michael phillips and other people on your show, elsewhere on our network, we have showcased these people who just want to stay home. it's actually cheaper to keep them at home. but the point is, they want to be cared for by their mothers, their fathers, grandmas -- with their family, their daughter. and medicaid lets them do that. the republicans have now become the party of taking these people out of their homes and away from their families. and we just have to keep pointing that out. that's what's happening. >> dorian, i know you look at policy and economic decisions a lot. a lot of bankruptcy in the united states are related to health care crisis. not to people making bad

duty as modern day patriots and respond in joining me is a great panel, msnbc political analyst joan walsh, nbc news contributor anand gary dardask and rob reiner. rob you have the disadvantage are not being at the desk. i know you're working on a movie about lbj so you're think being presidents and what they mean symbolically. when you think about this moment in history, is it a direction, and how do we sort of deal with it when looking at fourth of july and thinking about our patriotic selves? >> well, it's kind of scary, because it could be a direction that we're taking, and we fought for our freedom and for democracy 240 some odd years ago and this is the first time in our history that we have a president who is not fighting for democracy, and is not fighting to keep us safe. we've been attacked by a foreign enemy power, and he refuses to acknowledge it, and he turns his back to it. so this is a very scary time for us. i mean, this president is either frightened of what the probe into this attack might reveal in terms of making him illegitimate or he's worried that crimes that he's com
