i understand what he actually said was shit house, and not shithole.ng i want to point out is not just the comments are racist but actually inaccurate. about 30% of americans have college degrees. 43% of african immigrants have college degrees, 43%. only 11% of white americans have advanced degrees. you know masters and phds. literally one out of four nigerian americans. so when you begin to say all these people are so terrible, it's not onlyrace but also factually wrong. the president doesn't know that because he's dealing in stereotypes. so i just want to give a big shout out to our african and haitian and el salvadoren immigrants who are trying to make america great. i wish the president would follow their lead. >> and as we all sit here, we're all immigrants. when have we realized in the break our show has been all african-americans. it's been people of color. it's not that we planned it that way. but i think in this king weekend dr. king would be very proud of that. and proud of all of you that have come on, fareed and everyone. we saw republican

>> -- shithole comment?e who are watching only the trump channel see one thing and people watching other networks -- >> no question about it. i have friends over at fox news, but i mean, you turn on fox and juxtapose it to the headlines and the breaking news stories on other networks, it is like another planet. they're talking about what hillary clinton ate for dinner and how that should be illegal or something and the fbi is in a conspiracy theory about this, while we're all talking about what's happening now with the person who actually got elected president. so president obama makes a fair point on that, that people are really retreating to their own echo chambers. and i think that's very dangerous. even from -- i can tell you, my mom and i have been going rounds on facebook with people who we thought were friends that we went to church with, that we've known for a long time, evangelicals, and just listening and watching the vitriol coming out of people who are supposed to be in the church, defending dona

word shithole would never come up in that conversation.ere for almost an hour and no one from the administration has come on to say no one should call a country or continent a shithole. tells you about the character of the trump movement at this point. >> i have to take another break. be right back. he superior non-stick you love. new pam spray pump. the mountain like i used to. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but whatever trail i take, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...an

is the evidence that he called african nations shithole countries?n you say he's now understanding, this is a president who's been on the job for 11 months now. how long do you need to not be in office but be alive to know that 54 nations of africa are not shitholes? >> well, i'll challenge you there. we don't know if there were specific countries named and he responded about specific countries. >> are there specific shitholes in africa? name them for us. >> you can have an intellectual conversation without being a racist comparing nigeria like your other guests did and talking about the economy there, talk about the type of people who come here from nigeria, what they contribute to this nation, their education, their -- the -- how much more than they make than white americans. >> you certainly can have that. >> you can compare them to other african countries that aren't doing so well. >> and what context do you call one of them a shithole? >> i'm not sheer to defend that comment. i would not have used that comment. many people can say and not being

a am a proud shitholer.y family was called wops and macro leaders i'm proud of that we came when pelt if people came over called dirty people. shithol shitholers built this country, called slant eyes, they stayed in internment camps as american citizens and that's a legacy we bear shame for. shit holers who escaped guatemala and el salvador i worked for shit holer who's p protected this country after 9/11. george is a shit holer gist. jose' head of counter terrorism at cia is a puerto rican. i guess he's not welcome. i'm proud to be a shit holer and i want a t-shirt i'm proud, yeah, let's stand against this and say it's not about black people, it's not about white people from norway it is about the people who built meramericao we denegrated and we're a shamed to what america is today. >> what you said brought tears to my eyes because it's just so offensive. i can't see how anyone can make excuses for that. it had is about pure racism that's -- that's all it is. to say otherwise is in deep denial or cunningly

do you think these countries are shitholes? >> i believe that taking in lottery visa scam immigrants from countries that have low education -- >> you're not answering my question. you're not answering my question. can you just be honest enough to answer -- >> i'm trying to give you a substantive -- >> if you're going to come on and make a claim that truer words have never been spoken then give me the evidence that it's true. do you believe it or not? and you must believe it -- >> if you just cut me off, there's no conversation. >> answer my question and i'll let you go. do you believe it's true? >> i believe that the immigrants from these countries that are coming in under the scam visa lottery system are uneducated and very low skilled. and so here's what happens. they come to the united states and they do nothing to increase the prosperity of the american worker -- >> oh, my god. i cannot believe those words are coming out of your mouth. >> let him finish. >> or they go on welfare and extend our entitlement system. i mean, th

for him to claim all the countries of africa are shitholes is woefully ignorant. but as disturbing as you may think these sentiments are, these comments by the president are actually not anything new. three weeks ago "the new york times" reported something else the president said about haitians in another meeting at the white house. he reportedly said they, quote, all have aids and said that nigerians quote, live in huts. now, the white house denied he said those things at the time three weeks ago. they are not denying he said the comments today, which were spoken in a room with bipartisan lawmakers. perhaps the white house feels the president's remarks will be well received in some parts of this country, among some parts of the president's base, and perhaps that is true. but it doesn't make what he said any less ignorant or any less racist. not racial, not racially charged, racist. let's not kid ourselves. let's not pretend or dance around it. the sentiment the president expressed today is a racist sentiment. josh dawsey is the reporter who broke the story. i spo

the united states in an oval office meeting on immigrants complaining about immigrants coming from shithole presidents countries like haiti. not only does the white house not deny they think it is good for them land help with their base. let's talk about with our political commentators. mark have to ask you as a republican what's this mean for the party, what's this all mean to you? >> i mean my first reaction if you ask about the party is this is the farthest thing from the ideals that i think the republican party intends frankly from the founding of the party. the republican party is founded as a party of abolition and suffrage how far we've fallen this is about country this is about the american creed, about a real disappointment and sadness that i feel that the president of the united states doesn't believe in the american creed. which is that it doesn't matter who you are as an individual, where you are from, what your skin color is, what your religion is, what your gender is, anything other than who you are what you bring to the table as an individual that you have a god-given right a

your mouth is the greatest shithole in the world. america's greatness is built on diversity or have you forgotten your immigrant background, donald? as for reaction in africa, let's go live in kenya. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dave. well, you know, this -- it's early days here, just midnight in the capital of this east african country, but just a few mnlts ago i spoke to the so mali information minister who told me that he thought that these comments must be fake news and if they were real they do not deserve any response. we've had reaction from another of the countries with temporary special status, which has always been in war, was only born in 2011 and there they're saying that this is the concern of mr. trump and it should not concern them and as a new country they feel that older countries have mr. to say on this incredible astounding comment about what country africa comprises of and th this word of shithole. and not owl of my colleagues will report in africa, but there's very much a disconnect between the

we could not run this country if it wasn't for that shithole continent.ou wouldn't be able to drive your car. you might not even be able to have a cup of coffee. you might not be able to have any of -- the military wouldn't be able to operate because most of the minerals and the resources that we need to make this country run happen to come from that continent, africa. >> we'll continue the conversation. thank you, i have to go. >>> when we come back, a shocking report from "the wall street journal" that says president trump's personal lawyer arranged for a six-figure pay-out to a former porn star right before the election. why? that story is next. >>> a new report tonight that a lawyer for president trump rearchl arranged a large payment to a porn star to buy her silence. tom, what does the report say? >> well, don, this was an explosive week for the president. think about this. amid his comments about immigrants, his continuing clash with steve bannon, and the back and forth on the russia investigation, now comes this big new claim in "the wall street j

for this to come out that what he really thinks about afternoon an countries is a shithole place.nd already the star and the newspaper has gone ahead with a cartoon which shows africa in the president's mind made up of various locations, variously described at shithole. the bloggers have been out. of course they're not confining those to the borders of africa. >> farai, thank you very much for that. so this is not the first time donald trump has made rationally charged comments. here you go. >> i would like to have him show his birth certificate. and can i be honest with you? i hope he can. >> they're bringing drugs. they're bringing crime. they're rapists. >> we're building a wall. he's a mexican. we're building a wall between here and mexico. the answer is he is giving us very unfair rulings. >> if you look at his wife, she was standing there. she had nothing to say. maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. you tell me. >> but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. >> although we have our relationship in congress who they say was here a long time

he used the term shithole to talk about countries in africa.ant people from shithole countries allowed in on any immigration policy? he talked about haitians and the speaker of the house, paul ryan, the top republican in the land next to the president and vice president saying those comments were "very unfortunate and unhelpful." we talked about this and went on to talk about his own family's immigrant irish heritage and how unwelcome the irish were at the time. incredible citizens, he said. immigrants from africa. yes, making a case for merit-based immigration. whether it's farm jobs or medical jobs or whether it's this or that job. not based on they are from haiti or africa. we don't want them. on the very unfortunate and unhelpful. what's the significance of that. >> i guess he criticized trump? you look at the answer, he did criticize him and he gets a check mark. get at that as quickly as possible. he defended haitian and african immigrants. he does not agree with donald trump's stand. he does not have the immigration views donald trump do

but the reason yesterday's hearing got really heated was because even though she was in the shithole meeting and heard tons of swearing in nul surround sound secretary nielsen kept denying that they recalled any naughtee words coming from the president. >> is it possible he said the word at the meeting and you didn't lear it. >> anything is possible, yes, ma'am. i don't specifically remember a categorization of countries in africa. i did not hear that word used, yes, sir. >> apologies, i don't remember a specific word. have i answered this, have i been very patient with this line of questioning. have i nothing further to say bay meeting that happened over a week ago. >> trevor: yeah, you know what, she has got a point. so what if a man was racist over a week ago. does that mean he's a racei today, that was like eight daysk come on, people change. look, all of this explains why the junior senator from new jersey lost his cool. >> tense of millions of americans are hurting right now because of what they are worried about what happened in the white house. that's unacceptable to me. and

. >> you say no because they're from a shithole because of the color of their skin? >> this is twisted around. >> this is not a coincidence. this is a pattern of behavior. >> this is just beneath the president is seu. he doesn't quite get what it is that really makes america great. >> truer words haven't been said. this is what people say around their kitchen table. >> what is the staff talking about? he is talking about appealing to his base on a racist comment. >> the president triggering chaos on the hill by contradicting his own opinion on the fisa. >> the president is watching cartoons in the morning instead of something else. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to your "new day". chris is off. john berman joins me. >> no bleeping. >> value tkpwr racially charged comments made by the president are sending shock waves around the world. a source tells cnn in a meeting with a handful of senators, president trump slammed senators from blank hole countries, referring to people from africa, haiti, el salvador.

shithole immigrant and real american, christian and muslim. just cross out the words at the foot of the statue of liberty, put a big trump sign there that says, "norwegians welcome. please send photo first." it would be funny if it weren't so damned depressing. so here is the best idea i have. please don't respond in-kind with angry words about the president or even his ideas. anger begets anger. it foments more hate and bigotry. you should feel it, but do something better with it, and there is a response that is far more powerful. just tell the truth about us. america's greatest strength is and has always been its diversity. we do come from the hard-hit places, the shitholes, as our president likes to say, and you know what? that drives us. we work harder. we work smarter. we're galvanized, we're interconnected and interdependent. our unity is forged in opportunity. it is laced with dreams of a better life for our families. so, mr. president, please forget this harshness that may play to some small base. appeal to something more basic -- swee

if it's a shithole, we had something to do with it. >> we did. president wilson, by the way, also quite racist. amanda, i want to ask you, a lot of republicans have been pretty quiet about this. but we did hear from speaker paul ryan and here's what he had to say. >> i read those comments later last night. so first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate. unhelpful. i see this as a thing to celebrate. and i think it's a big part of our strength. whether you're coming from haiti, we've got great friends from africa in janesville who are doctors who are just incredible citizens. and i just think it's important that we celebrate that. >> so he thought the comments were unfortunate and unhelpful. >> he's pushing back. i mean -- >> that's pushing back? >> that's not aggressive enough, but, i mean, listen, i -- republicans have got to feel like the person that follows a horse in a parade. every day that trump opens his mouth. i don't use that four-letter word on tv. >> that's okay. you don't have to. >> you know what i meant. it's exhausting. a

that is we can focus on did he say shithouse or shithole did he say this? but it's the implications of what is his strategy? he is desiring of whiteness. he does not want folks from africa nations, in this country. he says why can't we get more norwegians. in 2043 america will be a majority minority country. what you have here is fear. you have fear in terms of the nation changes before the very eyes. the folks who support donald trump they are scared of what's about to happen. so when he presses the buttons of immigration, he is speaking to white fear, this is why we're losing our r jobs. 1994 remember in california, i was just there for the naacp image awards they passed proposition 187, that was about fear that mexicans were going to overtake california. it's been 23 years since it was passed and california is still standing and thriving. you have to understand american history in the late 1800s when they attacked the chinese over opioids they were angry that the chinese were taking jobs. any time the history of white america had economic anxiety, they b

proclamation less than 24 hours he called african in his words, shithole countries. more than 15 hours after the news break, the president is denying he made those comments. comments that the un human rights counsel called it shameful. this is not the language used. what was really tough were the out lan dish proposal made a big setback for daca. >> there is more in just a moment. just moments ago, he explicitly denied all of this saying at the same meeting, quote, "why do we need more haitians, take them out, talking about th out, " talking about the dpre t agreement. today is the anniversary of the earthquake that killed many haitians. no one, a republican leadership in congress has condemned and alt-right the president's comment. lets go to the white house. >> the white house did not deny this last night in a long statement, they could have. the president only now is denying this. >> reporter: right, apparently. the white house's message machine had to catch up with the president's tweet. the president tweeted again and he clarified what is being clarified here in

the botswa na continents as shitholes.wana government called the comments reprehensible and braces. it may be just words, but on this continent, that word is an insult. bill the wall is a cry of voters who love donald trump. we are going to build the wall, the quarry. he was said to be doing a victory lap believing this row will brave up his base. donald trump launched this campaign with an attack on mexican immigrants and rose to prominence by claiming falsely that barack 0bama was not an american. this latest racial controversy will doubtless please at least some of his supporters at home but it undercuts us leadership abroad and shows again how america first can mean america alone. a surgeon who branded his initials onto the livers of two transplant patients has been fined £10,000 and given a community service order. simon bramhall pleaded guilty to two counts of assault in december. his crimes — carried out at queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham — were discovered when the patients returned to hospital for further su

you know what, personally as someone from south shithole, i'm offended, mr. president, okay, i'm offended. because, because not only does he think brown countries are shitholes, he thinks what, we're never going to know what he said? i mean don't get me wrong t might take a few weeks but as soon as the news donkey reaches our village, we'll be so mad, so mad! like what do you think? and you know, i know that everyone is focusing on him calling countries shitholes and whatever, i'm like whatever, you can say whatever you want, but what part put it over the line for me is norway. yeah, when he said where he wanted immigrants to come, from he didn't just name a white country. he named the whitest country. yeah, he didn't even go with like a more subtle country that might leave it up in the air, you know, like we need to let in more people from portugal. hmmmm. what does that mean. no, he goes for norway. people are superwhite, so white they wear moon screen, that is how white they are. (laughter) it is almost like yesterday when trump met with the prime minister

went on and he started to describe the immigration from africa calling the nations they come from shitholes. >> president trump, haiti is not what he called it. >> we should hear from some of the republican house members who were in that oval office. >> this is "new day" weekend with victor blackwell and christie paul. >> it is the beginning of martin luther king jr. weekend. dedicated to justice, equal rights, opportunity for many but the president of the united states is facing growing international backlash for comments that a racist. >> the african union is demanding an an polg after he reportedly said he did not need more immigrants from quote, shithole countries. and democrats are now leading an effort to officially censure the president. all of this as the president spends the weekend at his resort. >> we're going to start with abb abbey phillip in washington. the president now has gone to his beach resort but washington still reeling after these comments on thursday. >> reporter: the president's comments are deemed not safe for children after he called these african countries a slur
