in one of her many tweets, referring to john goodman and laurie metcalf writing "i just wish abc had wn two of the greatest actors in the world out with me, laurie and john. i'm so sick over this." but for the less well paid writers and minor cast members that find themselves out of work, disney abc acknowledged them in a memo apologizing to the many men and women that poured their hearts and lives in the show and were just getting started on the next season. he said the network had to uppolled its values of tolerance and civility. >> shepard: jonathan, there's a new tv controversy involving sam b. and the comments she made about ivanka trump. >> yes. last night the comedian addressed ivanka trump saying "do something about your dad's immigration policy." she used the c words there. he listened to you. put on something tight and low and tell your father to stop it." sarah sanders today condemned bee's language and said the collective science by the left and its media allies is appalling. her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast and executives at time-warner and tbs h

i just wish abc had not thrown two of the greatest actors in the world out with me, laurie metcalf and, of course, john goodman. another one writing in part, i'm not a racist. i never was, i never will be. of course the damage is done. her show is canceled. reruns pulled. she's scheduled to talk to a podcast tomorrow. you can bet the world will be listening to that. >>> it is 5:08 right now. president trump today meets with survivors of last week's school shooting in texas. this as the white house presses on with a summit with kim jong-un. secretary of state mike pompeo set to meet with a trusted adviser to the north korean leader. two this dinner last night in new york. according to the state department, president trump will still be willing to hold that summit or even extend it provided north korea commits to giving up nuclear weapons. but that right now is a big if. >> we are preparing and expect that to take place on june 12th. >> there's also a chance the summit gets rescheduled. if that happens the white house team meeting in singapore where the summit is supposed to take place.

quite understand, is that roseanne personally was visiting a burden just not on her castmate, laurie metcalfld she respond to this, john goodman, how would he respond to this, but every single member of every cast of every abc show was going to be asked about this for a very long time. >> oh, yeah. i mean, just asked some of the folks at nbc entertainment how long they had to answer questions about donald trump before he got elected president. i mean, it was a year and a half of reporters saying is he going to be in "the apprentice"? are you going to cancel "the apprentice"? what's going to happen? and multiply that by all the people who are at the network. i do think that for abc, we had a couple of things in play here. we had the fact that abc's owned by disney, and disney has a very definite family-friendly, inclusive brand that bob iger has defended quite often. and there was a sense that this kind of statement violated that. and certainly they may have felt some pressure to deal with that. there was also a sense that boycotts were in the air. people were talking about targeting the adve

john goodman, laurie metcalf, let me write some things for you. she has some ideas. you never know what could happen. you never know what could come out of this. i don't think abc would redo the show in some form, but you never know what could happen. >> the problem with it -- the problem, brian, is that roseanne is not only the star of the show, she's an executive producer and the creator of the show, so any change they would make to the show, a reboot without her she would still profit from, she would have approval over so takes more complicated situation. >> good point. >> thank you guys so much. we do appreciate the conversation and still to come, the president wants cheered on roegs anne for her ratings but will he condemn her for the racist tweet. he's still staying silence. >>> the president asked the attorney general to reverse his division to recuse himself. what that means for robert mueller's special investigation. plus the swipe the president took at sessions just moments ago. >>> the unraveling of a conspiracy theory. republican congressman trey gowdy ha

that's a talented cast laurie metcalf and sara gilbert. >> i thought what an appalling human being tois and be selfish and indulgent and racist and -- i don't know how -- i can't insult her more. what she did >> moving on to snapchat which was another big highlight of last night ceo evan spiegel talked about a bunch of things including some veiled jabs at facebook and the code conference saying it should just copy snap's security features addressed the controversial redesign of the app which you might be familiar with take a look at that. >> after q4 earnings our stock up was 50% in one day. everyone is really excited they could not comprehend why we would totally change our product and redesign the service, right after that amazing blockbuster earnings for me, that was a really great lesson because to me, it teaches the importance of having that long-term conviction even though it's going to surprise people, even though it will make people feel uncomfortable despite trying to prepare, you know, our community, but also the investor community and our team for the disruption that we tho

i think laurie metcalf calls it a wormhole. >> seth: a wormhole, that makes sense.. it's not the original set? >> no. they had to get stuff off of ebay i believe that was ours. >> seth: oh, really?
