your reaction to what john kelly had to say today. >> thanks, lawrence. it is simply outrageous.he comment made by kelly just indicate he is out of touch with who young immigrants are. he is clearly ignorant, and that he shares trump's, miller's and bannon's white nationalist views about immigrants. kelly's comments today are just as offensive as trump's racial slurs against haitians and african immigrants. >> and josh, john kelly seems to be out of touch about what was said about his own relatives when they arrived from this country from ireland, poor and unskilled, most of them. exactly the kind of thing john kelly said about these young immigrants today was said about john kelly's relatives. >> lawrence, you're right. in the history of our country we do have a long track record, unfortunately, of forgetting we are a nation of immigrants. and extending that same compassion to people who are coming to this country and working to improve themselves, their families and country are at least deserving of some respect. if you think back to when president obama announced this daca pro

that to me was the turning point on john kelly. >> i was too, lawrence, in the sense that i did and doll now believe john kelly is a man of honor. and a man of honor would admit he was wrong. but this is the difference, john kelly the way i defined him and understood him he was a military man and then he became a political man and he hitched his wagon to a guy named donald trump. and donald trump never admits his wrong, and his chief of staff apparently never admits he's wrong. i don't think that's good for the country. >> i think it was difficult for both of us to watch the boston irish guy turn out like this in this situation. we could go on and on like this. kevin cullen, thank you for joining us tonight. thank you, kevin very much. >> thanks, lawrence. >> tonight's "last word" is next. die...or become a sparrow.

john kelly issued this written statement. i got lots of people telling me today, hey, lawrence was right. >> but everybody knew that. that was not a prediction. that was just a subtle fact. >> it was a prediction and you got it right. i think you can rest on those laurels. >> i think i'm going to take that. >>> another day, another guilty plea. special prosecutor robert mueller obtained another guilty plea in the investigation of the president and the president's campaign and the president's family and the president's assorted societies around the world. this time robert mueller charged and got a guilty plea from a lawyer involved in the case. no doubt stunning the rest of the criminal defense lawyers representing witnesses and suspects in this investigation. we'll have more details on that guilty plea later. but one of the extraordinary things about that new guilty plea is that it was not even mentioned in today's white house press briefing because the briefing was so short. it was less than 20 minutes long. and that is the white house strategy on briefings. make them so short and so rare that it is impossible to a

one day the president of the governor of the state, john patterson called and said listen, you have a faculty member, lawrence d. retick, head of your history department. he is an agitator, attacking segregation. must be a communist sympathizer. you need to get rid of them. just like he expelled the student dissidents. now again, many faulted the president and the position he took, vis-a-vis the students. there was one correspondent that wrote the following. it is indeed unfortunate, this is a person writing from chicago. it is indeed unfortunate that you have become the hatchet man for the governor of alabama and expelled those kids. another person wrote him and said the uncle toms are supposed to be dead. does economic security mean so much? how will you face tomorrow? another observer wrote we must not jump every time the white man speaks. here's one more person. this is a correspondent from dayton, ohio who happened to be president trenholm's own cousin. this person wrote, you should have resigned yourself. interestingly enough many students had a somewhat more generous view toward their president. many s

so in this case it's pretty clear that john kelly is doing the opposite of what he's supposed to be doing. and the reason he's doing it, lawrenceis is important, is not because he's looking out for the best interests of the country or the institution of the white house or donald trump, he's trying to cover his own backside here. he has been caught in a grieve vous act of misjudgment. he's trying to cover it up and putting sarah sanders in a position where she is lying to protect his lies. this is a big problem for the white house. and certainly, i again, i can understand why sarah sanders is fed up with it and doesn't want any part of it anymore. >> steve, what would happen if don mcgahn or john kelly stepped up to that microphone? >> well, i think the -- what we would find out pretty quickly is they knew there were credible allegations of domestic abuse going back as far as a year ago. that he was maintained in this position on the temporary status that they knew that he would not receive a permanent clearance and they knew the reason why. and to josh's point. again a hoe ren douse misjudgment for senior officials in the white
