marc lamont hill, piers morgan is a bleep. >> bleeping is annoying.d you have to watch language but you can't bleep a joke -- >> actually, if you heard what he said, you would definitely want to bleep it.

mark lamont hill, associate professor at columbia university. mark, i want to start with you. a&e is a business. let's face it. customers wanted robertson back. what were they supposed to do? >> they are a corporation and corporations typically don't move on their own individual sentiments nor do they move based on politics. they often move based on money. they want it maximize shareholder wealth and maximize with a show that has 14 million viewers and they did the financially correct thing to do. i think it was morally wrong. i think politically wrong. but i think they made a decision that most companies would make. when you say, what were they supposed to do, i think they were supposed to stand with the community. stand with the many lbgt supporters in their fan base and viewership base. that was supposed to cost them money. they shouldn't be driven by profit motives. >> they said things that offended a lot of americans.

here now with me is spokesman wilson cruz and cnn political commentator -- and mark lamont hill. i want to take a look at what phil robertson the patriarch of this family said in gq. he said "it seems to me a vagina as a man would be more desirable than a man's anus. beastiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men, it's not right" you kind of gasp when you hear it. but does he have the right to say what he thinks, mark lamont hill? >> he has a right to say it. and quite honestly, there's a whole strand of fundamentalist religious people in this case christian people who believe it. most christians don't believe that but many do. he has the right to believe it and to express it. people in corporations and tv networks and tv shows have a right to say we don't want to stand next to people who have such abhorrent beliefs about lgbt people. the idea that they are unhuman, disgusting, somehow akin to people who commit acts of sexual depravity. to make those connections is disturbing to me. i'm glad they're walking away from him, suspending him.

while the back story of the fill p was the civil rights movement of the 1960s, mark lamont hill sat with the director as they prepared for the 50th anniversary of the march on washington. >> did you go to an all colored school? >> i didn't go to school, mr. president, i grew up on a cotton farm. >> it's their world, we just live in it. >> are you looking for help? >> you broke our window, stole our food, and now you're asking for a job. >> i know how to serve. >> you know he got that job himself. the white house called him, he didn't call the white house. >> i want to ask -- >> i don't know how many stories you're going to hear. they have some kind of secret code. >> dr. king. >> what did your daddy do? >> something special is go on there. >> i know your son is a freedom writ writer. >> i never understood what you all really went through, and you changed my heart. >> there is a whole black power movement going on. >> you know what they're going to do -- >> get out of my -- >> i'm sorry, i didn't mean -- >> we have no tolerance for politics at the white house. >> i'm cecil gains. i'm the

. >> and in philadelphia, cnn political commentator mark lamont hill. gentlemen, a question for both -- can president obama get his credibility back in 2014? let's start with you, mark. >> absolutely. i mean, the great thing about the way political news works and the political culture works in d.c. is that you're only as good or as bad as the last cycle. there was a time in october where people said republicans can never recover from the shutdown, and then benghazi will be on everybody's lips for a year, and everybody forgot about benghazi. the economy is recovering. the kinks in the obamacare, will be ironed out by april, may, and then we'll be talking about what's next. and if obama is short, it will be the economy. >> yeah, short-term memory helps. ben, what do you think? >> it's a little different. you look at people losing their doctors, you look at people with premiums higher than they ever imagined they would be, and this is supposed to be the affordable care act. when you have your premium double, that's nothing something like benghazi that you

mark lamont hill to you, next, because you're saying the whole show should be yanked. is that correct? >> not necessarily the whole show, but certainly if they were to hold on to him, i would say let's yank the show. my bigger point is it's a tightrope we're constantly walking between allowing people to have freedom of speech, allowing people to articulate things that are unpopular. god knows i say things that are unpopular, ben ferguson says things that are extremely unpopular. >> don't leave me out, marc. >> don, you go without saying. the point is, you know, just because we're saying someone should be taken off a show, doesn't mean we're trying to compromise freedom of speech. we're saying you can say that ridiculous thing, but we as a marketplace say we don't want to be a part of it. i don't want to stand next to somebody who represents ideals we think are not in the interest of our business. that's the point here. corporations don't have feelings. they have interests. the truth is in the long game, they would be compromised by standing next to him, so the market i

. >> so mark lamont hill, how do you see this? is edward snowden even relevant as it pertains to the message he continues to try to send and especially this time of year? >> well, he is certainly relevant. the fact he gave that address on the channel 4 station is evidence of that. that's the same network mahmoud ahmadinejad used this. the fact he was granted that says how important he is. his message is also important. he's warning us about the dangers of surveillance excesses. i don't think his primary point is about russia or china saying there shouldn't be any kind of national security interests at play here with regards to surveillance. i think what he's saying is when you spy on everyday people, you run the risk of creating a surveillance culture that's dangerous and undermines american democracy, and the supreme court seems to agree with him. the federal court just a few weeks ago said dada mita mining unconstitutional and the court system agrees with him. >> here is more of what edward snowden had to say. let's listen up an

people like eric michael dyson and lamont hill want to monopolize the discussion about race.ou named two black guys and threw a white liberal in there. >> i don't want to get letters in an angry font. they don't want you to comment at all about race if you're white. >> that doesn't apply here. there was nothing about rac this cartoon. >> who do you think is complaining and calling it racist? >> all right. break it up or don't break it up. next topic. a texas elementary school has banned christmas trees and the colors red and green a its upcoming winter party. the school in frisco would violate a state law called the merry christmas law which predicts traditional holiday greetings. the school's principal said it's a decision to avoid offending any families. stephen, i bet you applaud this kind of activity. >> not really. you got my boy over there in texas that's going the other way with this. i liked when he was jogging with his dog and shot the coyote. go to extreme measures to turn this around. >> you're saying shoot the principal? >> i never said anything of the sort. >> yo

mark lamont hill and will payne, to get their reaction to this. will, what do you think?re you surprised? brian is surprised this happened so quickly, even though perhaps it was heading in this direction. >> no, i'm not surprised. i heard brian a moment ago say there was no correct choice for a & e. they were put in a little bit of a no-win situation. you could be, i have heard you guys invoke a little cynicism here, you could be very cynical and say they made exactly the right choice. they made a meaningless suspension that didn't interrupt filming whatsoever for a & e, got "duck dynasty" and a & e splattered across every headline in the nation and thus create a marketing boon. i say that only as a cynic on the marketing side. i think a & e was wrong from the start to silence people, that they had some kind of group think disagreement with, when in truth, what phil robertson had to say was a religious point of view and personal preference and one that many americans, not including me, many americans agreed with. it was the wrong thing morally, perhaps the right thing mar

esther arma, dana milbank with "the washington post" and gail lamont.s and their predecessors. talked to an 18-year-old girl who said, quote, at the end of the day, africans is just a language. such feelings are common among members of her generation, known as the born frees because they were born after the end of apartheid or just before it ended and are too young to have many memories of it. how do young south africans, how do they view nelson mandela versus their parents or their grandparents? >> it's interesting because it's actually reflective of the issue between the civil rights generation and the young generation here in the united states of america. they took a vote for a people who bled for it versus a generation who were born having it. that's similar to how the generations in south africa have spoken about when it comes to mandela. for young south africans, that is the point of movements. the point is they do not inherit the brutality and the trauma their parents had to suffer. the journey for them is to build on the political freedom of nel
