howie: the culture war over rose and samantha bee. roseanne blaming ambien. >> we know what donald trump thinks. we know what roseanne barr thinks. it's time for to us stop playing around with soft words by saying, oh, they are saying i sensitive things. no, it's racist. president trump cannot be blamed for everything wrong with our country. donald trump is also a racist. donald trump's public comment about roseanne barr as racist comments includes no objection to her comments. >> the left takes the idiotic words of one person and blames it on millions. it's about the left expanding the tweet to the president and by connection half of america. howie: are some journalists blaming roseanne barr's comments on the president? and is there a double standard when samantha bee uses the c word to slam ivanka trump. >> we just saw roseanne's show canceled after the comments she made. but samantha bee, apology, no problem. howie: some liberals are defending the comedian. president trump says robert mueller is mid -- mueller is meddling in the mi

is samantha bee's language vile? absolutely.case is different because we don't know what happened between her and the tbs executives. but is it vile? howie: i think they are different. samantha bee says put on something tight and low cut and tell your father to change his immigration policy. bill maher joarkd about an incestuous relationship. emily: this is the way a lot of people in the media talk about the relationship between the president and ivanka trump. what samantha bee said went through layers of bureaucracy, it was have much premeditated. and that makes it different as well. howie: joe reid, an msnbc weekend host. she apologized for decade old posts on her blog that were homophobic. now she apologized. she was charging the 9/11 attacks were carried out by the u.s. government. richard: i think the blog post is pretty insane. everybody has a past and everybody's past is murky depending on how you spin it. i think that the rope here is running short and she is running out of rope. howie: on that point, she did apologize o

ultimately does samantha bee lose fans or gain them?i can tell, the people that liked her and watched her show are totally down and love her. the people that are hating on her probably didn't even know that she had a show. >> reporter: just last night the television academy honored "full frontal" for its social impact highlighting issues like health care, sexual harassment. bee skipped the red carpet but appeared to address the incident in her acceptance speech saying, every week i strive to show the world as i see it, unfiltered. sometimes i should probably have a filter, i accept that. >> i think what samantha bee did was wrong, i think she was trying to draw attention to an issue she feels passionately about and this was a way of turning up the temperature on that, getting people to pay attention. but they're paying attention to the wrong thing. >> reporter: of course bee and barr are not the first comedians accused of going too far. kathy griffin fired from her cnn hosting gig after posing with a bloodied trump mask. and michael ric

ben, roseanne barr, samantha bee. he's been silent about roseanne, but then he said samantha bee should be fired. he said he congratulated roseanne on her ratings earlier. why the selective outrage here? one should be fired, one shouldn't? >> i think you have to be consistent. especially when she came after his daughter that way, it's more personal. look, if he wants to talk about roseanne, then talk about it. if he wants to answer that question, answer it. i think it's fine if you're going to praise her, then you have to be able to critique her at the same time when she says something that's clearly racist and should be condemned. i do think the samantha bee part is natural. if you're a dad and somebody comes after your child and refers to them as a c-word -- it would be insane to think that the president is not going to respond to that. and the fact she still has a job and is able to survive this. you know, this was something well thought out and scripted in a teleprompter, a show got behind it. the president should

but that is samantha b. she isn't fired with a flagrant slap in the face from middle america and it proves that left-wingers can make any vulgar comments with impunity. but those same rights are not extended to conservative us. let's be very clear, conservatives have acknowledge that what roseanne barr said was vile and hateful, but what samantha b said was so despicable that we can't >> erika, you clearly don't know the difference between this conversation and -- you are not interrupted by erica -- by kristen, so please let her finish her point. we are trying to give everybody equal time. >> i think there are a big difference in comments made on public and those that were made in private. i just want to know where the moral equivalency here is. >> laura: while maybe everybody has to get off of their moral high horse here. ladies, i want to get your reaction on something else, i want to get to this issue, a slam on another trump supporter. melania tweeted that she was at the white house and feeling great aft

what samantha bee did.need to get their own acts together and treating people with respect. and not try to look for that validation that the president is going to come in and give some kind of moral clarity that's going to magically bring everybody together. the job of presidency is create opportunities to lift everybody um. >> conservatives have talked about the course of the culture for a long time. everybody is in their tribe or political camp and they see it through the lens of their politics and they excuse what samantha bee said or they attack roseanne or excuse roseanne and attack samantha bee. >> tribablism is natural. this is unnatural that we are having this conversation in the context of presidency. a tweet would conflate and so many things together. this is not normal and i think -- we have to resist thinking that this is normal to talk about a president of the united states of america and his tweets about to comedians. that's not normal. >> he talked about ratings for both of them. you have to

samantha bee's commentary is reprehensible. or if you can apologize -- let everyone apologize and get past it. but it doesn't apply -- >> or cancel her show. >> i don't. [ overlapping speakers ] >> i don't like it either but it has to be fair. >> i won't admit it's a hypocrisy and she mentioned chelsea clinton. let's talk about how ted nungen said the same thing about hillary clinton, he called her the "c" word and he ended up at the white house with sarah palin, greeted at the white house. when we talk about double standards. >> laura: he hardly has his own show. >> let's talk about -- >> laura: because he appeared -- he plays at -- >> for saying the "c" word but you want to cancel her show. >> laura: this is where the left, sladadly, they want to champion women and women's rights. that's all fine. but when you want to stand on this moral high ground and one of your own, not a conservative or alt-right but one of your own says something that is so juvenile and stupid and joyce and she said anti-catholic says and anti-religious

should samantha bee be fired for referring to ivanka trump as the "c" word?oining me to discuss, a comedian who has written for seinfe seinfeld, snl, was the host of his own talk program on fox and you are part of comedic lore because you wrote the soup nazi episode. no matter what you do for the rest of your life, this is your epithet, my friend. >> and the "c" word isn't in it. >> it is not in it. although i'm sure you could have worked it in if you thought of it at the time. i stayed up later than i normally do last night. i watched bill maher. in his opening commentary he said something relevant. let's watch. >> it was a tough, tough week for the line. you know, the line. the one that comedians sometimes cross. tough week for the line. >> what is the line? can you define the line? is this like potter stewart knowing pornography when he sees it? define it. >> the line is a combination of what you're writing about and let's take samantha bee as an example. she's writing about a horrible situation that's happening in our country where children are being torn

samantha bee pre-taped that program.iters write that for her, went through the whole editorial process and was brought before a live studio audience, filmed, wrapped, edited, sent over for production and then released. that's a huge difference. >> sent out on social media. >> so you're saying because it happened on network television it's not as egregious, and if we're talking about things that are offensive, see you next tuesday, how many times has bill maher called sarah palin see you next tuesday and other women on the right? i can tell you, don, i'm really wondering do the people on your panel care that i'm called that all the time, that i get those kinds of threats. >> sure. of course. i think everyone here care, stacey. >> i know, angela. i've seen your twitter feed. it's rough. but i'm talking about either we care about all of it or we don't care about any of it. so when people like joy behar compared hearing from god, praying to god to mental illness, she kept her job. she was forced to apologize by the head of d

samantha bee finally sees street justice. think about what america thinks about the foul mouthed tv host. next candace owens joins me live to talk about the most of outrageous things we heard this week from the left. here she comes. judge jeanine: welcome back to justice. take a listen to what i heard on cnn this week. he made it more popular to be openly racist. >> are you suggesting they are racist? >> yes. yes. >> all the people who voted for donald trump are racist? >> yes. judge jeanine: that's just one of the most of outrageous comments i heard this week. candace, good to have you back on the show. is it true -- i won't even ask you that. are all the people who voted for donald trump racist? >> you have to give her some credit for saying it with a straight face with passion and fire. but i'm completely bored with this. this narrative is exhausting. it's just like okay, guys, let's wrap this party up. it's ridiculous. there is no moaning to it. it's just them unwilling to accept that people have different ideas and belie

because what samantha bee did was completely unacceptable.le words that you can possibly use. i think that was on george carlin's list of 20 words you you can never say on television. that's one thing you don't do on cable news. i'm no fan of ivanka trump being in the white house. i have been critical of ivanka trump before, but that doesn't give you license to be that offensive. cbs has made the decision they the fact -- made, that's their prerogative. i don't think they would have been as charitable to someone else who was not on the left that they like, and it gives fuel to the other side to say that, look, see, there's a double standard here, and i think over the years, you can see that, johnny depp made awful comments about assassinating trump, and madonna, and you see these things and everybody goes, yeah, that wasn't cool and they move on. it was another example of the coarsening of our culture. it's just bigger. it's just another example of that. and when you can't have your kids watching cable anymore and you have to explain to them

and still condemn samantha bee. it was reported he called sally yates the c word. >> terry you see the double standard? >> yeah. there's a fair grievance on the side of republicans where we felt the reaction has been different towards conservatives in entertainment than liberals because hollywood is more left wing. i think there's a fair argument there. based off the reactions in the past of some people that have said vial things, i'm no fan of donald trump. there have been horrible things said about donald trump, about sa aye sass nating him and move on. let it be on the right, they should be fired. i think what happened with roseanne was the right thing to do. it was racist. if you're applauding roseanne being fired and supporting samantha bee, i think it's hypocritical. you let the free market decide. >> not only are people excusing samantha bee they're excusing what bill maher said on his show and keith olbermann has said outrageous things. then you have roseanne. one of these things is not like the other. saman

still to cop, the difference between roseanne barr and samantha bee is that samantha bee was right. kind of says that coming up. first tonight's thing 1, thing 2 is next. >>> thing 1 tonight, president trump is on a nonstop crusade to discredit the mueller investigation. today he introduced a new line of attack tweeting a.p. has just reported the russia hoax investigation has now cost our government over $17 million and going up fast. it's $16.7 million but rounding up is fine. that is a big hunk of change. you could buy this nice private jet, still have a few million over or this luxury estate in the bahamas, boat not included or if you're president trump could you golf a handful of times. that's thing 2 in 60 seconds. >>> during the 2016 campaign, donald trump loved to attack barack obama about his golfing. >> you need leadership. you can't fly to la to play golf. obama it was recover theed today played 250 rounds of golf. >> obama went golfing every day. >> goff, golf, golf, golf. more, more. learning how to chip, learning how to hit the drive, learning how to putt. i want more.

they gave samantha a special award, samantha bee, for her social activism.s is a woman who told ivanka trump, you're a feckless "c" word and you should wear something tight and low-cut so your father will change your immigration policies. she had to apologize for that. but the ceremony in which the media wasn't allowed into, we don't have the audio, but we have the transcript. here's what she said. we spent the day wresling with the repercussions of one bad word when we should have all spent the day as a nation that we are wrenching children from their parents. now, it wasn't one word, it was also the context that somehow ivanka trump should tart up to get her father's attention. that was never addressed at all either in the apology or here. >> laura: the fact that ivanka trump was holding up her infant son, like that was an affront to samantha bee. she's trashed me -- let me hold it up. it actually works against vampires, samantha. she's trashed me for that. actual l actually, do we want to play the clip? that's all right. we don't want to give it the light

it shows why samantha bee's apology is fake. you will not believe what she said behind closed doors. here's what she said. raymond, this was a television award ceremony. what great timing. >> this is from the television academy that grants the emmys and they gave samantha a special award for social actism and lifting society. this is a woman who told ivanka trump you are a feckless c word and you are wear something tight and low cut and your father will change your immigration policies. she had to apology for that. we have a transcript. we spent the day wrestling with the repercussions of one bad word when we should have been incensed that we are wrenching children from their parents. it was not one word. it was the context that somehow ivanka trump should tart up to get her father's attention and that was not addressed at all. >> laura: and the fact that ivanka trump was holding up her infant son. that was an affront. she trashed me let me hold it up. she trashed me for that. >> play that clip. we don't want to give it the ligh

plus, comments from roseanne barr and samantha be both sparked outrage, but very different results.e will ask our sunday panel, is there a double standard? and our power players of the week share some words of wisdom for the class of 2018. all right now on "fox news sunday" ." and hello again from fox news in washington. we begin with breaking news. "the new york times" is the first to report a story that president trump's legal team sent a memo to special counsel robert mueller in january a serving broad presidential powers. in the memo the lawyers argue the president cannot be compelled to testify and cannot obstruct justice because he has authority over all federal investigations. in new lead lawyer rudy giuliani tells abc news if mueller tries to subpoena us, we are going to court. joining us now from manchester, new hampshire, president trump's first campaign manager and current advisor, corey lewandowski. is that the president's view that he could not be compelled to testify and that he cannot, as the president, obstruct justice? >> corey: i'm not an attorney so i won't going

why aren't they firing samantha bee? a total double standard. that's okay.are winning and we'll be doing so for a long time to come. there is definitely a double standard here but not the one the president's complaining about. a month before the 2016 election, i interviewed jennifer lynn, a former reporter at "the philadelphia inquirer" about her 1988 interaction with subject donald trump. here's what she recounted. >> i got a phone call. the woman said, hold for mr. trump, and then mr. trump began to yell at me. he told me i had shit for brains. he told me i worked for a shitty newspaper and he said, what sort of shit was a writing. i was stunned. he hung up and called my boss in philadelphia and treated my boss to the same sort of rant, but then he added he referred to me as the "c" word, a word i will not use, michael, because in my opinion, it's the worst word in the english language to refer to a woman. >> so white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders called bee's language vial and vicious and said executives at tbs and correspondent parent time

samantha bee, what is your reaction?d -- ainsley: we have the sound bite. you want to play it. >> yes. brian: let's do it. >> you know ivanka, that's a beautiful photo of you and your child but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless [bleep]. he listens to you. [cheering] put on something tight and low-cut, and tell your father to [bleep] stop it. >> in addition to that outrageous work, word, put on something tight and low. suggesting that there is some inappropriate thing going on. i mean, if this happened to chelsea clinton, do you think that woman would even be going to the office, getting a social change award? do you think that she would be apologizing? she would be out of the country. i mean look at what happened to dinesh d'souza. thank goodness the president is pardoning him. this is a guy who did a movie, they, against obama and they looked for anything they could to put him in jail and they did. the obama administration, if this happens to libera

and samantha bee was horrible and vile and different levels.onally i would say the president did not need to weigh in on samantha bee. but i am never going to criticize a father for standing up for his daughter. i feel like we are chasing the wrong thing here. i feel like political opponents on both sides are looking for, i think people who are mad about what roseanne barr said, but political opponents are looking towards president trump and want to pin it on him. i mean, the bottom of the line is people need to get their own acts together and treating people with more respect. and we are talking about the actual job of the presidency. and that is to go and create jobs and opportunity, for all backgrounds and all people in society. and not look at validation that the president is going to come in and give moral. >> it does say something about where we are in terms of the national dialogue and conservatives have talked about the coarseness of the culture. everybody is in their tribe or political camp and they see it through the lens of the polit

will that happen to samantha be? with the deck about being against weaponization of outrage and particularly protective of comedy in the comedy space. shouldn't there be, if the standards are the same there should be boycotts and outrage and punishment and a huge brouhaha no matter which political side you follow-on and i fear that is not always the case. heather: we are out of time. >> we have an even keel, she will get some discipline but i don't think it will be firing. shannon: we will stand by, great to see you. donald trump visits santa fe to console the families of school shooting victims and those families are speaking out. a stunning new look at hawaii's erupting volcano like nothing you have ever seen what we are about to show you. you totaled your brand new car. nobody's hurt, but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car

but samantha bee was hired to be a partisan vulgarian.said, the problem with our institutions, no one considers themselves an insider any more, has responsibility for being better and being a good steward. everyone considers themselves an outsider. >> last word here, you quote president obama saying we're 10 to 20 years too soon. oh, we're not ready for you? >> what he was talking about was the demographics of the country and what he would like to say -- what he used to say in private is there's going to be an asian barack obama, latino barack obama. but the demographics he arrived before the demographic tipping point. part of this is the media eco system. as i say in there, a majority of republicans don't think he was born in america. >> the book the world as it is, good luck with it. that's all we have for today. thanks for watching. as always, if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." touch-sensitivity... ♪ uncompromising protection... advanced connectivity... and one more thing... the world comes with it. the new, reimagined 2019 jeep ch

samantha bee has taken the right action and apologized. the words should not have been erred and -- aired and regret it. two sponsors are pulling ads from the show. white house press secretary sarah sanders called it vile and vicious. that is much further than what the president said about roseanne. he followed and demanded an apology for that. >> and if the fbi was so concerned about the russians n infiltrating a campaign, hoax, why not stop it? why not tell trump? president trump was personally warned in august of 2016 by senior officials that foreign adversaries, including russia, would likely infiltrate his team. >> the president tweeted not that it matters, but i never fired james comey because of russia. the corrupt mainstream media loves that narrative. they know it is not true. well, here's where the mainstream media got the crazy idea. s>> i said, you know, this russa thing with trump and russia is a made up story. it's an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won. >> hard to forget that one. ne

do democrats think samantha bee should face greater consequences? >> no.nally agree with what the right normally says on this. that we shouldn't have a safe space that you shouldn't be drummed out of the public square for one offensive comment and that's what sam bee's thing was, one offensive comment. while she made one vile comment, roseanne barr is actually a vile racist person and the problem with roseanne's statements was not the statement itself, although that was very problematic in and of itself. but it reminded us all, this lady is super racist and she has been for a long time. you don't get a platform. >> okay. good to see all four of you, thank you so much. appreciate it, crystal, jason, michelle, rick. >>> coming up next, how could president trump have been so confident to go ahead with the north korean summit without reading that letter from kim jong un. >>> ahead on "a.m. joy" the arrest of a wisconsin teenager raises new questions about police use of force. i'm really into this car, but how do i know if i'm getting a good deal? i tell trueca

samantha bee thrives. is not a feminist, she's a hateful provoccator that should not be given a platform. >> not a feminist, does that seem credible to you? >> no, it's not credible at all. i'll just point to the different standards here. one is the thing that what roseanne said has the weight of the dee hume nan nyzation of black people behind it and the thing that samantha bee said it sps only a bad word because of how women review women. and she talks about women's reproductive organs all the time usually in celebration of them and the government's attempt to control people. i think she's definitely a feminist. that's crazy to say that she's not. i'm not a body language expert, but if i would say shawna thomas has a thing or two to say about this. >> i think one of the things is put a lot of this stuff aside. there's a cost benefit analysis for these comes. tbs in one case, abc in another. roseanne barr went out as someone in her personal capacity on twitter and called valerie -- compared her to a goril

samantha bee, you know the i hypocrisy.hat we should do is have the the victims of the insult tell us what to do. valerie jarret re71eded graciously to roseanne barr and ivanka was beyond gracious. when they beg forgiveness. maybe we give it. that is a christian view. >> sean: what is your take. >> my shock fake. there is nothing in both of these circumstances there is nothing to shock me. jim acosta to decide what is important issue to hear what is discussed at white house? and but it is not up to the media never mind jim acosta to decide what is a valid issue or not. it is up to the president of the united states and other elected government officials to decide what is sdraeszed. and every american has the right to advocate government to support them one way or the other. on the other one samantha bee, i believe, i made a lot of mistakes in the white house that i asked for forgiveness for and people were very gracious to me. >> you did not make that many mistakes. >> thank you, but my point is this. when people screw up a

so in other words samantha begets to keep her show.t shsaidll these comments just a couple days after roseanne barr lost her show for her comments. and, you know, i have no problem with abc doing what it did, why the heck isn't it. bs being responsible doing what it needs to do? coming up my intel on why this doubletandard needs to end. jardiance asked- and now you know. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill proven to both reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...and lower a1c, with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathin

should she be fired, samantha bee? >> i actually believe samantha bee should be fired.ieve roseanne barr should have been fired. i'll tell you why i have issues with samantha bee. that word is vile in and of itself, but for someone in her position and her producers have some culpability here because this is live tv like -- >> so they all agreed this will pass muster. >> yes, and you talk about the culture wars. this is where we are. we were talking about it in the break. we're at the lowest -- >> who defined decency downward in this country? >> donald trump. >> thank you. >> absolutely. >> break the tie here. should samantha bee be fired? let me ask you a real reporter's question. ready? will the corporate power structure that decides these things come down on her or not? >> two things. the first thing is that if they fire her now, they'll look like they're getting rid of her in response to president trump. that raises a whole other set of issues for the corporation. the second thing is -- >> you mean like they did with the football players. >> yeah, yeah. the corporati

is there a samantha bee and roseanne barr double standard?nd while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget... that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. >> we have reached one more historic milestone with three hadn't eight percent unmuchment just announced and african-american american unemployment and hispanic unemployment at an all- time low. >> this stuff is working. we were told it would not work. >> i know it is early in the game and i accept that. but

samantha bee, you know the i hypocrisy. what we should do is have the the victims of the insult tell us what to do. valerie jarret re71eded graciously to roseanne barr and ivanka was beyond gracious. when they beg forgiveness. maybe we give it. that is a christian view. >> sean: what is your take. >> my shock fake. there is nothing in both of these circumstances there is nothing to shock me. jim acosta to decide what is important issue to hear what is discussed at white house? and but it is not up to the media never mind jim acosta to decide what is a valid issue or not. it is up to the president of the united states and other elected government officials to decide what is sdraeszed. and every american has the right to advocate government to support them one way or the other. on the other one samantha bee, i believe, i made a lot of mistakes in the white house that i asked for forgiveness for and people were very gracious to me. >> you did not make that many mistakes. >> thank you, but my point is this. when people screw up

bee, i like samantha bee.bout something very important, the fact that we are pulling immigrant babies away from their moms. it started before trump and it's still going on. she stepped on her own message, but she apologized. >> she said we spent the day wrestling with the repercussions of one bad word when we should have been talking about ripping children away from parents. >> if you're going to take on an issue like that, sure you're a comedienne, but you jumped the shot, you overshot your skis, but you have to take responsibility for that. there's a danger if she goes out on a nonapology tour, lecturing the country that we're wrong and unwinding her own apology. >> he never condemned in any way the comments made by roseanne barr. >> you know, i think at this point the idea that donald trump would aggressively step forward and condemn racism against people of color, i think that ship has sailed. he just won't do it. i think it will be a blemish on him. >> why? >> because, look, can you say i don't like media
