and i think something back to maya angelou said. when someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them. the african-american community was screaming when he kept saying make america great again. that was cold? what time period were you talking about? then you had a president who could not get it right when it came to issues of charlottesville. then he will change the narrative about taking the knee. it was about police-involved shootings. it wasn't about the flag. it wasn't about the soldiers. and it wasn't about this country. it was about changing the dynamic to stop what's been going on hundreds of years. you have a president who today, and this is the irony, today will is celebrate mlk day at the white house. >> it just adds to all the emotion. it adds to the horror. >> right. and today is the eighth anniversary of that deadly earthquake in haiti. but you also have a president who can't get the name of tanzania right. barack obama, bill clinton, and george w. bush really tried to work with africa. he's basically saying

maya angelou says when somebody shows you who they are, why don't you believe them the first time? well, this isn't the first time for president trump. this is the umpteenth time. he said all haitians have aids. it's extraordinary. just for the record, until recently, african immigrants were the best educated recent cohort of immigrants coming into the united states. those numbers have slipped a bit in recent years. they're still better educated than the u.s. population as a whole. so it's not, as president trump would say, the quality of the people who were coming in that he objects to, it's got to be color. >> and rich larry, this is a week that the president tried to push back the narrative reflected in "fire and fury," which is jumping off the bookshelves, and whether you find error in it or not, it shows this president was losing his grip, was childlike, was not paying attention. so he holds this 55-minute on-camera negotiation, if you will, makes a few errors along the way. he talks about earmarks, has to be corrected by kevin mccarthy but is basically engaged. then we see th

she quoted now deceased maya angel angelou, when someone shows you who they are, believe them. question is, does it make it okay if the president said this and his base would agree? let's debate that. simone sanders and jack kingston are with us. jack. i'm going to give you a bye on the question of whether or not you condone this kind of thought or you agrow with it. i'm going to give you a bye, because i know the answer is no. why is it okay for the president to say this because the base is okay with it? >> well, i don't know that the base is okay with it, i do say that the president in a private conversation being the guy who talks the way he does, he's kind of a -- bare knuckles type negotiator, i don't think it's the first time behind closed doors he said something like this, nor was it for lyndon johnson or richard nixon. often leaders are in a position and they use crass language. if he had a history of racism, we would know about it because he would have been sued over and over again -- >> simone sanders is laughing, jack. why? >> well, i -- >> come on -- >> i want to kn

. >> maya angelou said if someone shows you who they are, believe them.lly right behind them and they keep lying to your face, then what do you do? they have not only showed you what they are, they also showed you what they think of you. it has in my view nothing to do with the press, it's about transparency and the american public. so take the press out of it and say this is the white house's message to the country. what you saw with your own eyes, even from your reality tv access inside this room and in this meeting is no longer true. we are going to insult you by trying to assert something else. i do think, as joe says, that is dangerous because that goes to the faith and fidelity that any white house has to have with the american public. >> mika, it also suggests that there are people in the white house who do not believe that the president is mentally fit to be president of the united states, that he says things that he believes that they have to censor after the meeting is over. and so whoever was the white house stooge who was censoring this transc
