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

the network wrote on may 31st, full frontal with samantha bee will be recognized for advancing social change by the television and academy. is that what hollywood calls lewd and obscene character assassination. and the lefties are not happy about bee's apology. look at the reaction from sally field who tweeted i like samantha bee a lot but she is wrong to call ivanka a "c" word. and ivanka is not the only trump woman under attack. let's discuss with rachel campos duffy, christen tate. let's go to you, first, ms. campos-duffy and ask you how we've gotten to this lace where a comedian would say something like that about the first daughter after she posts a picture of herself and her son. like an endearing photo and that brings out such incredible bile. >> right. i wish i could be surprised but i'm not. there has always been a special abuse as you know this as well as anybody knows for conservative women and for conservative minorities because the left views us as traitors. so i'm not surprised by the comment but the hypocrisy, i think conservatives are finally getting sick and tired of.

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

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

should samantha bee be fired for referring referring tou vau referring to ivanka trump as the "c" word>> no roseanne and sam bee are not the same. one is racism. other is boy talk, right? i mean, are racism and so-called comedy, i guess i should have said to spike, when i listen to samantha bee, it's not clear at that point of her monologue it was comedy. it seemed like a straightforward political argument that threw in a "c" word reference to ivanka to boot. one more quickly, if we can. although i don't agree with what roseanne said, i don't believe the show should have been canceled. our society has become too sensitive. i agree in so far as it's got to be all one way or the other. either we'll let it all happen and stop trying to parse between all these things or not. a buddy of mine, liberal paul said we have double standards of double standards. that's how far gone it is. >>> the jobs report couldn't have been better. unemployment at an historic low, yet many americans have been locked out of the upward mobility enjoyed by previous generations. why is that? >>> would you not go to

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

why aren't they firing samantha bee? a total double standard. that's okay. we 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

guys, samantha bee doubling down. i'll start with you., she was obviously required to put out an apology yesterday. if you look at it, seemed per fu funt fu functo rrk functory. >> what samantha bee said about ivanka trump was crude and it was offensive. she used a word that has been used to demean women. sure, absolutely. she apologized for it. fine. there is no comparison between that and what roseanne barre did. it draws upon a racial history in the country going back before the civil war that has been used to oppress americans. and so that's the first thing. the second issue here is that samantha bee is a comedian who was using crude language actually to confront and i would say even, i'll just say, to confront a president that has, and a white house and an administration that has supported racism and supported bigotry. that is not the same thing as rosanne bar using crude language way worse in defense of that kind of cannon. >> i think, you know, when we talked about morning joe, my syllogism here is racism is not vulgarity. they're

one day later comedian samantha bee used a vulgarity to refer to ivanka trump, prompting the white housestrongest terms, even as they largely gave barr a pass, not surprisingly. in a statement sarah huckabee sanders said, "the language use the by samantha bee last night is vile and vicious. the collective silence 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 must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network." joining me now, rebecca traister, a writer at large at new york magazine who wrote about her very different opinion from the white house on this subject. rebecca, what is the thrust of your feeling on this entire thing? >> well, i mean, this is an administration that is always seeking to portray itself as being persecuted, right? so in sarah huckabee sanders, i liked her dramatic rendition of it in her sort of, you know, all of the fulminating about, you know, the injury that has been done to ivanka trump and to

to be fired by tbs but i'm wondering will there be any consequences for samantha bee aside from advertisers temporarily suspending the support for the program? tbs, the only thing they've said public is applauding samantha bee for apologizing for something that she shouldn't have said and while roseanne barr, her tweet was totally unacceptable and racist, it was a tweet in the middle of the night. that is a different context than samantha bee's rant, which was scripted, it was in a teleprompter. it was a comment that was clearly premeditated and made it through multiple layers. >> chris: and then was taped hours later. i want to move to one of the subject here and that is the russia investigation because we do have this news of the presidents legal team back in january sending this memo. you and i have covered a lot of scandals and they are taking a very forward leaning position on the presidential powers when it comes to obstruction of justice, when it comes to having a sit down and answer to a subpoena, when it comes to pardoning. your thoughts? >> and the question of obstruct

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

samantha bee's apology to ivanka trump seems fake.e's what she said, "the new york times" best selling author, raymond is going to tell us, raymond, this was a television awards ceremony. what great timing. >> this is from the television academy, that grants the emmys. they gave samantha a special award, samantha bee, for her social activism. this 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

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 continues to deal with the aftershock of this. >> let me just say one mother to another.o something about your dad's immigration practice you feckless [bleep]. >> reporter: bee accepted the award and accepted responsibility saying in part quote i strive to show the world as i see it unfiltered. i accept that and i take it seriously when i get it right and take responsibility when i get it wrong. and back on the carpet stars seem to support bee and apology saying her words were different than roseanne barr's racial tweet. >> i don't try to compare the two. it was a situation, one of the tv show that is comedy and pushing it to the edge of political satire and the other one was a tweet. >> and actress sally field weighed in and tweeting, i like samantha bee but she is flat wong to call ivanka expletives. and the controversy did not allay president trump. why aren't they filing samantha bee for the horrible radio on her show. double standing and that is okay. we'll win and do so for a long time to come. >> hollywood and time warner and cbs. up are allowed to attack a conserv

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

, 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

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

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

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

i take seriously what samantha bee says. freedom of speech issue and the people don't like it they can turn the channel but i think they deserve the condemnation we are seeing. charles: i was offended when bilmark use the n word because he got a free pass because he's a liberal. obviously he couldn't be racist. i've like to see that toss in the garbage can as well. >> i absolutely agree and i certainly have never given bill maher a free pass when it comes to the n word or when it comes to himself having used this word about conservative women. none of it should be acceptable. from a business perspective charles i think you have to look at the two factors involved here abc, disney owned company is a family-oriented network. tbs is now in the late-night comedy business. those are two different format so i understand because of the need for some people on the right to jump to what about-ism trying to. -- compare these things false equivalencies lead us into dangerous territory. i think we should be smart enough to do critical t

tbs announcing that samantha bee will be addressing her hateful comments about ivanka trump on her televisionthis week. so in other words samantha begets to keep her show. don't forget 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. sympto

i think samantha bee will keep her show. you say it has to be one way other other, it doesn't. keith obermann got hired the day before roseanne got fired. keith obermann called michelle malkin a mashed up bag of meat with lipstick. he just got hired by abc. bob iger is in the presidency business. he wants to move on and i'm sure he wants to be the president. and this is a gesture that will probably advance him at least on that side. i think what they are missing is when they don't fire obermann or don't fire bee, i think they can do that all they want. but i'm pretty sure trump is re-elected already. there are a lot of people who note the inequities. they don't fight it on a day-to-day basis. so they zip their lip and go into the booth where it's a silent ballot. kennedy: instead asking for reciprocity, what do you think about the other option which is developing a thicker skin? >> it's never going to happen. twitter has aloud us to come together as one and realize there was never any reason for to us come together as one. n
