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

it's not -- and i think what samantha b. said was wrong and i think she should have apologized, and she did. and yet you have the president pardoning a person like this who is a complete conspiracy theorist. so that's another thing he and the president have in common and has said and done the most hateful things imaginable about president obama, and yet, you know, the big problem in the world is samantha b. >> let me ask you this, chris. okay sos dinesh d'souza was prosecuted by former u.s. attorney and cnn contributor preet bharara, who trump fired. in the case of martha stewart, the prosecutor was james comey. let's see. mr. blagojevich was convicted of 18 charges, sentenced to 14 years in prison. but when you look at this, when you look at that, it's preet bharara or whether it's anyone else who is connected to the president, is this settling scores? >> so i actually think it's more. i mean, look. it's -- i'm not a huge believer in coincidence, don. certainly not in politics. so i'm not willing to dismiss that. my belief

what samantha b. said is beyond the pill.n't want to talk about your sister, your daughter, and what roseanne barr says was not comedy. it's a first amendment right. she has the consequence because you can't be racist today because you feel like you want to be racist in public. so we haval of these things. it starts and stops in one place, that's the white house. we can go back to access hollywood the same way you don't want samantha b talking about donald trump that day the words that came out of his mouth on that bus -- >> we are talking understandably the current president of 1,600 pennsylvania avenue, president obama said something according to a new book by ben rhodes. that really is interesting, it's about this whole notion of a culture war. he said the following. maybe we pushed too far, maybe people just want to fall back into their tribe. sometimes i wonder whether i was ten or 20 years too early. you worked for him. you know, he is talking about culture, identity politics. >> look, i can understand the president, pr

samantha b made her return after a crude comment last week. >> you know, a lot of people were offendednt's daughter last week. this time i used it as an insult. i crossed the line, i regret it and i do apologize for that. >> all right. but some think that bee's apology was far from sincere instead using the moment to take some more jabs. >> i should have known that a potty mouth insult would be inherently more interesting to them that juvenile policy. i'm really sorry that i said that word but civility is just nice words. maybe we should all worry about the niceness of our actions. >> she also jokingly introduced new mandatory sensors to alleviate her use of swear words. >> let's get a check on your weather now with bill karins. bill, i guess you're going to tell us about the timing of all the rain that's going to come this weekend. >> we're going to try. it has been fluctuating who's going to get the rain. we know it's going to happen the weekend on saturday. showers and thunderstorms. here's the storm -- excuse me. this is tomorrow. this is friday. this is the storm that's going to b

i think the people who say this is why trump won when samantha b.akes a joke are insulting people. and i think the idea of that, you will take the words of robert de niro and vote based on that, i never heard anyone say, oh, ted neugent said something stupid therefore i'm going to vote for obama. >> it's part of an accumulation of things that people feel that -- that who are on the republican side who say they keep going after -- >> who's they? robert de niro? >> that we're bad -- that we're bad people. >> who's the we? >> if we support donald trump? >> there are segments in the population who feel that hollywood ant coast will elites look down upon them and when they hear robert de niro do this or samantha b., it reinforces the narrative. >> there are ten of thousands of people in the coastal elites, i would listen to elected officials. i disagree with maxine waters but almost every other democrat has said let's not go this far skblr it's a great and civil conversation for which i am grateful. we appreciate you being here. that wraps up this hour.

should samantha b be fired for referring to ivanka trump with the c word?one? tell me. prediction? okay. i say it will be very close within the march of error. this is not scientific. there is no margin of error. oh my god. was i wrong. oh well. 77% say no. 15,303. gang, you know how i say i don't see the result? you just found out that's true. what else came in? smerconish, your ninth grade mooning would surely land you on the sex offender's registry. sad. do you know that it was captured on video and they made my mother identify me? they called my father and said we need to suspend him from school because he's exposed himself. my dad thought i came out of the men's room wearing like a london fog trench coat with nothing under it. by the way, i tell the whole story in my book, which came oout last week. what else? we have time for another one or two? i cannot believe that prediction. good friend of mine taking the playboy center fold to the chemistry table in class. he became a surgeon some years laterme later. i love that. one more or two more. smerconish

. >> reporter: samantha b was a no show before the television academy honors but played it to e cereny to accept an award for advancing social change. during her acceptance e said the thing is our slow is steeped in passion, every week i strive to show the world as i see it unfiltered. sometimes i should have a filter. she is under fire because of a comment she made on her show about ivanca trump. attacking this photo with her son. blasting the timing of it given that undocumented children are being separated and held away from her parents. >> you know that is 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. [beep] >> bee apologizedded as did her net -- apologized. saying she is held to a different bar compare ed to roseanne barr. >> it is not the same thing. i think some ever the words used were racially charged and the others not so much. i think that is a big difference. >> one is a tv show about comedy and pushing it to the edge of political satire and the other one is a tweet. two different

exactly paying attention to those politics and not seen into a show based on that to see where samantha b.'s ratings go in the next month or so after her controversy and i think that's we'll really be able to see how young people are reacting to it but i think in general i think young people are just sick and tired of the hate on both sides i think they just feel the media is nonstop patriot no matter if you're listening to someone on the right or left and they took it out often which is why you don't see much involvement with young people in politics you know you really don't let me ask you one thing about the samantha bee thing because this is what bothers me i don't have a problem with the c. word i really don't it's so down on far my little. upset about however concerned about your i but the thing that bothered me was that nobody talked about the fact that in her in that exact in that same sentence that she said that she also said that should put on something tight and low cut and go tell her father to change a government policy that is deeply nested why is everyone is it just because

the union's >>> calling for samantha b we to be fired here is the blip in question. >> do something about your dad's immigration policies you [ bleep ]. he listens to you. >> they say it was inappropriate and inexcusable. tbs says it was our mistake too. >>> a big deference between profanity and race. . >> there is still a lot of question. she was missing for 11 dais before she was found in the power plant. a similar case in 2013. changed security and safety proceed yours but not at the power py.la they want to make sure it is ready to go for next week's election. when you're done you can scan that ballot into a machine. >>> a live look. the warriors fans, where do we begin with last night's nba finals opener? the game had it all, especially high drama. >>> here is what everybody is talking about. the cavs had a chance to win. gets the rebound and starts to dribble away from the basket. in they win 124-114. game two sunday night. >>> this weekend is supposed to be a hot one out there. it will heighten fire concerns. firefighters have been tested this week. the brush fire destroyed one mob

samantha b apologizes on tv for the first time since taking vulgar comments about ivanka trump. >> i did something to contribute to the nightmare of 24 hour news cycles that are white not going through. jillian: she apologized a day after her rent on immigration policy. according to the hollywood reporter, tbs will increase oversight on her show going forward. rob: the head of the girl scouts keeping the girl scouts, sylvia telling the ap the girl will stay in girl scouting, what we do really well. >> boy scouts drop the word boy from their name, they will be known as scouts bsa next year when the first girl join the ranks. your comments pouring in, ron says boys and girls, male and female, the word has gone bizarre to think the world has gone bizarre, to basic nature. >> the gender-neutral narrative needs to go away. jillian: john, if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. rob: the days of discrimination are over thanks to mod's, a google designer tweeting this update from the android removing the egg on the salad emoji. the change makes it more inclusive vegan sa

. >>> when we come back samantha b. apologizing for a crude remark about ivanka trump.eanne barr losing her job after a racist tweet. are comedians being held to a higher standard than the president? . that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. what's in your wallet? i'm all-business when i, travel... even when i travel... for leisure. so i go national, where i can choose any available upgrade in the aisle - without starting any conversations- -or paying any upcharges. what can i say? control suits me. go national. go like a pro. this is bill's yard. and bill has a "no-weeds, not in my yard" policy. but with scotts turf builder weed & feed, bill has nothing to worry about. it kills weeds and greens grass, guaranteed. this is a scotts yard. and greens grass, guaranteed. thethe more you know theme, commute is worth it. for all the work you pour into this place, you sure get a lot more out of it. you and that john deere tractor... so versatile, you can keep dreaming up projects all

rosanne street and samantha b's statement are different but what do you do? you know you have trouble with your advertisers and you can't ignore that and it's a half a billion dollar business that she torched and the real question is why did they not take her phone away because that is every other star on the tv had to go through something called the physical and you have to get insured and from completion bond and if you can't be insured you will not get the job. greg: what impressed me was that rosanne got in trouble and i liked the idea of the show itself but it was sloppy but i like the fact that they presented a civil discourse that was missing so i was hopeful and the person presents the civil discourse goes ahead and shoots it in the head. she creates the thing that was maybe the world will change and then she treats this and it all goes away. >> it's depressing. it was nice, i admit it was nice to see a character on tv who was not an open communist. [laughter] we had fun for a few months. but now we go back to it. it's tough now and they'll put the fr

the television academy tells us samantha b is attending and being honored.t it because the academy has barred the press from going into the ceremony venue. shannon: thank you very much. a number of hollywood celebrities are standing by be tonight. we will talk about with our panel. michael hopkins and host of benson on fox news radio, a fox news contributor, great to hear from both of you on this hot topic. i will read the apology, i would like to sincerely apologize to ivanka trump and my viewers for using an expert about my show to describe her last leg, it was inappropriate and inexcusable, i crossed a line and i deeply regret it. tbs as she has done the right thing, it was our mistake, they didn't say they apologized but praised her for apologizing. does that clean it up for you? >> i don't think so. not saying she should be fired but for the network to be lauding her for apologizing for calling the pres.'s daughter the c word, she can regret it, maybe got her hand slapped or worried about getting rosanne but this was not a tweet in the middle of the nig

that's why they call her samantha b-list because she caters to a low denominator. >> there are a lot of comedians that -- >> the scales have shifted. >> you're using my pen. you're cheating.an i lent it to him because we're friends. comedians across the board, we happen to have more of them. you can say so-called medians. i don't think they're funny. at the end of the day, more -- comedians. i don't think they're funny. at the end of the day, more comedianss and liberals push boundaries. i don'ts. think they're appropriate. look at the things ted nugent said and then he got an invitation to the white house. >> you have the chelsey handlers and samantha bees and stephen colberts. they'll say the most disgusting things about president trump but not say radical islam. >> we're so passed the old radical islam dah bay. if you listen to the things said about the obamas, comparisons that roseanne barr said -- >> wait a second. when someone on this network said a nasty thing about president obama, they were suspended for a week or two. all they did over at tbs is say, oh, she'll be back tomo

first roseanne barr now it's samantha b. can prevent skin cancer. >> and have mercy mendez. the plaza is packed as pop super star sean mendez gets set to start off the summer concert. and trust us, nothing holding us back. friday, june 1, 2018. >> the plaza is ready for us. >> first concert ever. >> this is my 16th time seeing sean in concert. >> i got a selfie with sean mendez. >> b 11:00 last night for sean mendez. >> and good morning, everybody. welcome back to today on a friday morning. you think that's crowd is excited? we've got a big one this morning. a great way to kick off the month of june. sean mendez is going to take or city concert stage this morning. earlier this year sean performed for the queen. now he's going to perform for all these wonderful folks. and they're feeling like royalty. carson is out there. carson, how is it going out there. >> doing quite good. notice the trending topic on twitter is hashtag, sean today. how are you feeling. >> really good. it's exciting. tons of people out here so thank you.

when you go back and look at the original harang from samantha b.fficking in quasihalf-truths blaming those looking at photographs that turned out to be from 2014. she said 1500 kids lost or missing. that isn't really accurate. so, i know that she is upset that she distracted from quote, unquote, the real issue. but, guess what, if you have a real issue and then you tack onto the end by the way the president's daughter is the c-word yeah, that's going to be a distraction. >> bill: different standards for different people. adrienne, guy, thank you. >> thanks, bill. >> thank you. >> i appreciate the discussion. >> sandra: president trump granting clemens t clemency to n serving a sentence for drug crimes after a strong push from kim kardashian west. alice marie johnson reunited with her family. what she is saying about her release from federal prison and the reality show star who helped make it all possible. >> i would tell president trump thank you so much that i am going to be that one that is going to make you so proud and i hope that my life will

>> i love the fact with roseanne barr there was the samantha b chapter. tbs just ignored it.hould be fired, tbs is like, we're not even going to. that's what amazon did. they have been very smart when they've been the target of the attacks. no, we're not even going to go there. the stories are easy, you add in pop culture to politics. everybody loves that. the roseanne story was an important story. i mean, for someone with that kind of hate background to have a national platform is wrong but, i mean, those articles, those topics you mentioned, let's throw in the pardons, right? roseanne pardons. and trump is trying to create this legal fire wall for his criminal enterprise and just real quick, like the next day "the new york times" described it as idiosin klatt particular, this pardon. this is not trump being ee seven tri -- eccentric but they don't know how to describe it. >> a lot of this is on the media to not be distracted by things which are not worthy of distraction and to call out things that are. usually when trump goes down this cultural rabbit hole it happens the da

samantha b is a diversion.d good numbers on the jobs front with a little concern about the downtick in labor participation, but the overall news was very positive and we should continue to look at economic growth and job creation and what's happening with the economy. >> this is a president that operates on three principles. he never apologizes himself, he uses controversy to animate and advance his agenda, and he believes if you're right you fight. given that, i think you should basically take her on as a sideshow. basically talk around the mainstream media and say look, there's a double standard. he speaking to his base when he talks about the double standard. >> he did just that. he said she should be fired. but look at this. criticizing crude terms from donald trump is sort of like me offering you dietary advice. i wouldn't go there and nor should he. >> look, basically, let trump be trump. if we can give him some guide rails and throw the punch and i get back on message because your base understands there

what's next my quote on samantha b's apology. repeat the obscenity but i will allow the left to set the standards. >> i'm not going to repeat the obscenity used by the so-called comedian samantha bee. she went after the presidents daughter with the most vile language. she apologized. i wish we could leave it just right there, leave it at that and move on. but frankly, i can't. i refuse to allow the left to set the firing standard. i refuse to allow the left to decide who can say what and with what consequences. roseanne barr offended everyone with a racist tweet and was fired within hours. samantha bee offended a lot of people, not on the left though, and keeps her job. in fact, other so-called feminists are lining up behind her. sally field has doubled down in support and last night ms. b received an award from the tv academy honoring shows that push for social change. keep me away from that part of tb. of social change means introducing a file obscenity about the presidents daughter, you can count me out. here we are, if you say

but i want to draw this to your attention governor about those vulgar comments samantha b.roll the tape. >> i have chosen and i made a conscientious decision a long time ago that -- i was not going to get into the fray, and that means that -- i'll absurd the body blows that come my way. a lot of class governor like your daughter if i may say so. >> well thank you very much. i think ivanka trump certainly showed that she has a lot more dignity class,nd sophistication than her critics of will if might be can look at that and see hideous vile things said about her about likes from samantha wannabe an they not see the distinction let me ask this, which much those two role models would you like your daughter to be in seriously, and put politics aside -- dot blindfold test, and tell me which one you would like for your daughter and i ask that of every american if it wasn't ivanka trump but just two women talking which one would you say i would like my daughter to act like that? >> i think i have a pretty good idea -- how 90% 95% of americans would respond. and they're with you go

comedian samantha b sparks a firestorm with a vulgar comment about ivanka trump. >> let me say one motherer, do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless -- maria: her so quickly using -- losing advertises and she is apologizing again. receiving an award for social change. the cost of the russia probe soaring to an astronomical amount, taxpayers on the hook for it. find out how much taxpayers are paying for the special counsel probe and golden state warriors taking game one of the nba championship in overtime thriller last night. one cavaliers player under fire for his final blunder in the final seconds. lebron james feeling the heat, his pregame outfit top story, into andrew mckay. according to the washington post the us attorney's office has interviewed former fbi director jim comey as part of new efforts to see if andrew mccabe lied to federal agents, a crime punishable by a 5 year prison sentence, this after michael horowitz accused mccabe of misleading comey and investigators while under oath. joining these former criminal defense attorney for oj simpson and the

does, for that matter, you have to stand on principles look, last week we had roseanne barr and samantha bcan you explain this to your children and grandchildren there has to be something more than just policy you have to, we have to be civil with one another we have to embody some degree of character or this all falls apart. politics is a mirror of our culture. public leaders have a responsibility to fortify the culture. >> here inside the party, it is few were to, inside the party. if you were to step out and say, i don't like the way he's approaching this in some way. >> i probably got 50 already contacts oh my god, i'm so worried about. that they're worried about that. they shouldn't be. >> if you do that, a you get it on your twitter feed, b, if you are in the senate or the house you think you will get attacked by the president, himself, or it will upends the policy piece right? this goes back to the ends justifying the means issue >> right look, it's not an easy owe o'i totally agree they're in a dilemma. it's not an easy thing it's easy for me so they i say these things, i don't hav

tweeting this morning, by the way, about how that language was so vulgar and it should get smngt b samanthaway as the president is a first amendment violation -- >> creepy and authoritarian. >> to suggest the firing -- talk about a power abuse. but this is also a word and language that he has reportedly trafficked in. >> totally. >> many times before. and again, in service of exactly how that word has been used to do damage historically, the misogynistic and sexist reading of it. >> yeah. >> which is patriarchal power used to diminish and hurt women. that's how donald trump has reportedly deployed it in the past against women who've challenged him or rejected him. samantha bee, a feminist comedian, was using it to attack a power abuse, a woman who was participating in that patriarchal and racist power abuse that is being undertaken via the policies of her father's administration. and it's not just her father. she works in the administration. she has full security clearance. this is not -- i see people online saying oh, if it were chelsea. if chelsea had full security clearance and was worki

b" word. roseanne uses the "r" word. the word that samantha bee used, i hear in comedy clubs all the time.ve to be careful about telling comedians what they can and cannot say. >> is it just potty mouth to call somebody a feckless "c" word? >> you know, i think in comedy a standard that we like to hold ourselves to is what we're saying punching up? are we speaking truth to power? when you like at ivanka trump, she's one of the most powerful women in our country. she's not just the president's daughter, sheo it doesn't seem inappropriate to me. when you look at roseanne's comments, she's comparing an african-american woman to an ape. that's the epitome of punching down. that's something that's been used to degrade and dehumanize black women. so there is a different. >> i don't think you have to compare the two to say that what samantha bee said was wrong. >> yes, what is the line? i'm personally confused. you are a disability advocate. you're disabled. i'm wondering are there third rails that comedians shouldn't touch right now like race, look disabilities? can you call somebody a terrorist

b you guys though. you comedians, comic, roseanne barr. blew herself up. samantha bee is in trouble. michelle wolf got in the cross hairs. do you worry for your fellow comics in the age of trump? how do you be funny and not be unemployed by tomorrow? >> i feel like anybody who does anything like even like we're doing now, i don't feel any more or less worried for anybody else or ourselves than you and i sitting here right now. it crosses my mind every time i do an interview or speak in public or anything. it's hard to speak your mind. now i don't do comedy in the traditional sense like a samantha or whatever, so i'm not trying to make jokes on my own. i deliver other people's. i can blame them. you know. but no. it is tricky and we're, you touched on this in the opening monologue. we're easily offended right now. and frequently about things that ultimately probably not that important. >> in the big scheme of things. what do you think about a roseanne barr and what she said? do you think she went too far? should shefb giffin a second chance? how do you make sense of that? >> i only fe
