charles, so when roseanne compared valerie -- did that awful comparison on twitter of valerie jarretthy can't he do that? >> i assume that's not in him. when you refuse to confront. he had the option of not weighing in. >> right. >> but when you choose to weigh in, and you choose to ignore the bigger part of this story, which is that you must condemn. if you're going to weigh in, you must condemn what she has said, chose not to do that. so that -- choosing not to do that says a lot about him, himself. whether he either does not see it as a big problem, accepts it, approves of it. those are the options. and it would not surprise me. you keep saying this because it is true. that the man is just a racist. it's not even something -- i think we need stop arguing about this. >> it's not an argument. and i hate it when people say i don't know what's in his heart. you don't know what's in anybody's heart. you know from his actions and words. >> you can deduce from the evidence. the evidence is there for everyone to see. it's not like some big mysterious thing to draw a conclusion based on evi

roseanne barr's career was this single racist tweet about the former obama white house adviser valerie jarrett. it read in part, "muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby equals vj." within hours her hit abc show "roseanne" was canceled and she found herself at the center of a major uproar. >> i horribly regret it. are you kidding? i've lost everything. and i said to god, i am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because i know i've done wrong. >> reporter: in her first interview since sending that controversial tweet roseanne barr speaks openly with her friend the rabbi shmuley boteach. >> you understand why this caused a lot of pain? >> yes. i do. you know, it just makes me sick. that i did it and that it was taken that way. >> does any part of you think this is the beginning of some sort of pr campaign to come back? >> i can assure you that from my perspective, my interactions with her, it has not been that at all. >> reporter: this latest twist in the long public career of roseanne barr is a parable about the dee divides facing america, and it raises questions ab

valerie jarrett has done tremendous things along with president obama to turn this nation around. and allow someone like that, someone like susan rice, someone like the first lady to just be insulted and dehumanized in silence, then we become part of the problem. >> tim, i think a lot of people don't understand what the minister just said. the deep pain that many feel. when you can compare valerie jarrett, a well-trained -- you couldn't get a more refined american -- to an ape is saying to all of our kids, no matter what you do, you're not going to be anything. i don't think people understand how painful that is. that's a lot deeper than, oh, they're just running out, they're looking for a camera. this hurts. >> and also we have to keep in mind the historical context. in the wake of the comments about valerie jarrett, a lot of defenders of roseanne will make a false equivalence and say, people call donald trump an orangutan. there is a difference between comparing black people to monkeys. there is no such troup ere regarding white men. it is not a racial attack. it does not strike

muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby that would be valerie jarrett. rosen apologized calling herself an idiot and saying that really wasn't her medication talking that was one racist pill if so but borderline humor often on the subject of race has long been part of bars repertoire black people are just like they're every bit as good as any people who don't think so just a bunch of banjo picking concentrating barefoot and a respectable white trash like god but what finally did was of course the tweet i mean come on you can word a masterpiece of an apology. i made a mistake i wish i hadn't but don't defend it please i'm not a racist i never was and i never will be one stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting for civil rights for all minorities at the expense of my nervous system family will never be taken from me but comparing a black person to an ape there's just no coming back from this what she said was blatantly patently the definition of race as we're seeing with tweeting something that listen to those of us if you're in public like you hear this slur

she wants to reach out the valerie jarrett directly to apologize to her.ecause in the jewish religion, you have to make amends to the aggrieved party. >> the rabbi says he'll let her decide when the make that podcast public. >>> things got. both getting >> i hope me telling my story lets people know that you're a forever parent the minute you accept the love of that child. >> sandra was unable to hold back the emotion while talking about her 8-year-old son, louis, and her 5-year-old daughter, laila. >> and the beautiful thing that i was constantly told was, the perfect child will find you. you will find your child. stop. look in that direction. >> i'm trying not to look at you. >> the "today" show co-host was equally teary. she revealed sandra was part of what inspired her to adopt now 15-month-old daughter haley. >> it was almost like hope. and i remember i reached out to you. and you gave me some good advice. >> it's amazing to me how we can take away people's happiness by telling them this is the box you have to stay in. >> yeah. >> there is no box. the

kept her show if she didn't make the statement -- the anti-black rates of statement likening valerie jarrett ape. >> so i know, that simon, rose answer, has a history of this kind of thing. she tweeted that jarrett was a secret muslim operative and has re-tweeted memes that the obama administration was filled with members of the muslim brotherhood. tell us a little bit about the history behind how and why the label of using the muslim brotherhood is a smear tactic among certain members of the conservative or right in this country. >> when she's accuse her of being part of the muslim brotherhood, what she's accusing her being a seditious element, a secret society set to undermine american values. with the islamophobia movement in america the muslim brotherhood is a label like communism was used decades ago. they paint it as an octopus with tentacles in all aspects of political society. the islamophobia industry accused congressmen who are muslim of being part of the muslim brotherhood and it's to undermine the american political voice and that's the intent and desire and outcome. >> i want to

. >> valerie jarrett is a former senior adviser to president barack obama.lso with us al sharpton and sherrilyn eiffel, the director counsel of the naacp defense and educational fund. thank you, all, for being here. >> thank you. >> so, valerie, we want it give you an opportunity to respond to all that's happened today, not just the tweet but abc's response. >> first of all, i think we have to turn it into a teaching moment. i'm fine. i'm worried about all the people out there who don't have a circle of friends or followers who come right to their defense. the person walking down the street minding their own business and see somebody cling to their purse or want to cross the street or every black parent i know who has a boy who has to sit down and have a conversation, the talk, as we call it. as you say, those ordinary examples of racism that happen every single day. i think that's why i'm so glad to be here this evening talking with all of you. >> for those of you who have not heard, this morning actress roseanne barr tweeted this. "muslim brotherhood and p

i don't i know why you brought up valerie jarrett. she hasn't been part of any of this.e have to wait until we see the report. >> harris: i want the speaker a chance to respond to that. >> newt: first, you have the specific text message in which one of the f.b.i. agents says to the other the president personally wants to be kept briefed on all of this. >> marie: on the election meddling investigation. >> newt: well, on the investigation into the trump campaign during the election. second, you know just the way the white house operated the idea that valerie jarrett wouldn't be in the middle of this is inconceivable. >> marie: you have no evidence she is. you are throwing that out there. i have no idea if she was. >> i want to get to something else. the interesting thing is you have three top players in the f.b.i. and top players turning on each other. andrew mccabe assumes that he is going to receive the same sort of liberal outreach. i don't think he is going to. i don't think he needs to be immune from the prosecution. but what he is saying is i will gladly turn on come

barr compared a former adviser to president obama valerie jarrett to an ape. the actress initially said the tweet was indefensible and begged for forgiveness. now barr claims she thought jarrett was white and is hitting back at her critics. here's vladimir duthiers. >> well, at least norman bates respected his mother. >> reporter: the day after abc pulled the plug on her number one show over a racist tweet roseanne barr returned to twitter with a vengeance. barr, a prominent supporter of president trump, retweeted an image questioning why some people think it's okay to ridicule him as an ape but not valerie jarrett. "i thought she was white," she wrote. "i am not a racist. i'm tired of being smeared over a mistake erasing 30 years of activism." barr who is jewish then the went on to say she was the victim. "i think i spent the last 24 hours watching the party of diversity, inclusion, understanding and acceptance lynch a jew." >> that's drywall, son. >> reporter: john goodman, who plays roseanne's tv husband, stayed above the fray, seen in this footage obtained

charles, when roseanne did that awful comparison on twitter about valerie jarrett, the president had lay up. why didn't he? >> i assume it's not in him. when you refuse to not confront -- he had the option of not weighing in. when use choose to weigh in and you choose to ignore the bigger part of the story, which is that you must condemn, you must condemn what she said and he chose not to. choosing not to do that says a lot about him himself, whether he doesn't see it as a big problem, accepts it, approves of it. those are the options. it would not surprise me -- you keep saying this because it's true, that the man's just a racist. i think we need to stop arguing about this. >> it's not an argument. >> i hate when people say i don't know what's in his heart. you don't know what's in anybody's heart. >> you deduce things from the evidence. the evidence is there for everyone to see. it's not some big mysterious thing. i walk outside and see the sky is blue. i don't need to argue if it's t turquoise. no. it's blue. we have need to stop. once you just accept that and deal with that part,

during her first interview since abc canceled the revival of her show after a tweet aimed at valerie jarrettany viewed it as racist. >> are you kidding? i have lost everything and i regretted it before i lost everything and i said to god i am willing to accept whatever consequences because i know i have done wrong. >> america's rabbi a long time rosanne barr friends, thanks for being with us. she was obviously very emotional in this interview, said she lost everything. she sounded very remorseful and said she knows she's going to have a price to pay. >> a lot of people commenting on the death of civility in america but some sequentially the death of forgiveness. here you have a woman that is quite well known, prepared to show such extreme vulnerability, extreme anguish, emotional brokenness, almost begging to be forgiven for something she acknowledges was a terrible error and she said it over and over again and i think it is time that we just allowed her to make restitution and rectification for what she did because we have to be a forgiving people was with martin luther king who she says is

she's had other questionable tweets and actions not just that one about valerie jarrett. >> she's certainlyrticular comment. >> thank you, erielle. >>> now to that incredible survival story. a small plane crashing in a michigan neighborhood going up in flames when a young man manages to escape the deadly crash. diane macedo is here with more. good morning, diane. >> reporter: robin, good morning. tragically, two people died in this crash, but the big surprise is that someone actually made it out alive. one look at the wreckage, and you would never believe that, but this morning, we actually have video of this amazing escape. this is the moment the sole survivor of a deadly plane crash emerges from the wreckage. >> we're rescuing one subject. >> reporter: just after 8:00 p.m. sunday, the pilot reported landing gear trouble before crash landing in this detroit neighborhood and catching fire. >> the pilot is stuck in the plane, the plane is on fire. >> reporter: bystanders jumped into action. >> plane crashed and we started running towards it. >> reporter: police report they broke the plane wi

if roseanne had called valerie jarrett the "c" word, she wouldn't have been fired.ouble standard. unfortunately some, like donald trump, refuses to denounce roseanne barr's comment as racism. we can't treat them the same. >> do you agree, do you believe there's a morlal equivalency between what roseanne barr said to what samantha bee said? >> i think there's absolutely no equivalence. i think the people who are -- most of the people who are outraged, it's false outrage, because the reality is that a lot of the people that are going after sam are insisting, insisting that roseanne did nothing wrong. and they just want to distract by going after her. and i understand that there are definitely women who find those terms despicable, find them violent. i personally don't use the "c" word or even the "b" word in my comedy because i think this presidency has normalized misogyny to the point where i don't want to be complicit in that. i think complicit would have been a better word for ivanka than the one that sam bee used. but i think the outrage is totally false. because

when you think about what roseanne barr had to say in terms of calling valerie jarrett and ape, a blackoman. this speaks to race in our culture. dehumanizing people, oppression, slavery. >> you don't think what samantha bee is dehumanizing? >> i do, let me finish. - - is poker and rank and unnecessary. it does not speak to the idea of tearing apart the social fabric around the most central and difficult issue in america. race. and that's what roseanne barr not only did in this instance, she had done it previously with susan rice. another obama official. >>chris: samantha bee has said all manner of horrible things about all manner of women working in the trump white house. >> one of these items speaks to tearing at the social fabric in a way that can't be undone and puts us in great danger. therefore, it's not about teams for in terms of i am a trump supporter and i will therefore support roseanne barr or i'm an obama supporter and i will support samantha bee. that's really juvenile compared to the seriousness of what's taking place. you think about the nfl players, you think about charl

valerie jarrett was measured, mannered, very gracious.uoted marcus you a reelious and jesus. i thought she responded with very noble measured, dignified reaction. >> this is what i think. i think that who's going to get fired, boycotted, why can't we take our signals from the victim? if i vampgca trump is willing to turn the other cheek, if valerie jarrett turns the other cheek, why can't we, roseanne, come back now that she's apologized, you want her to crawl on her belly over razor blades? same thing with 13457b that bee. maybe we -- same thing with samantha bee. maybe assign a more malicious or self serving motive. i wipe that out. let's respond to these people the way their victims are responding. >> you know, i have a theory on why this is impossible. because of modern culture, anything goes, from language to behavior. the public is now trying to find another way to judge. so now, we are using twitter and facebook as a place, as our mob justice. because everything else goes now. everything else goes. >> the consequences are always yo

she said she wasn't thinking of valerie jarrett in those terms and wasn't sure of her race and didn'tnow her race. what do you think of those explanations? >> i've known roseann for almost two decades and i've never heard her utter one iota of racism or a scintilla of bigotry. we all know that roseann does things with elbows that could upset people but i've never heard real prejudice or bigotry. if you have to put things in context. what shocks me is, we recorded this about a month ago and we did not release it because i felt she needed to reflect on what she had said was very vulnerable and very vulnerable and she had to be comfortable with it. she finally made the decision that it could be released. and it's made a very big impact because i think the moral courage she showed to take full responsibility and asking people not to defend her, she offers explanations as to what happens but not excuses as to what happened. she said she was wrong and she takes full responsibility and she has paid a huge price. she gained nothing by releasing this interview because her show was already canc

. >> valerie jarrett, i thought she was white. i did not know she was a black woman.ut i'm not stupid, for god's sake. i never would have wittingly called any black person, say they are a monkey. i never would do that. >> and while the original "roseanne" series often tackled issues of race with inclusivity and equality -- >> hey, black people are just like us. they're every bit as good as us, and anyone who don't think so is just a bunch of banjo-picking, cousin-dating, barefoot embarrassments to respectable white trash like us. >> roseanne said abc was just not willing to accept her apology. as we know know, the conners will go on without her this fall. >> yes, i'm so excited. thank you all so much. i really appreciate it. >> what did it finally take for the show to go on without you? >> meanwhile, back in utah, roseanne was uncharacteristically stoic and silent while out shopping. >> are you happy the crew and cast can get back to work? >> does it look like she wants to answer questions? >> very interesting to see what's next for roseanne. >>> another star who know

because roseanne's show is canceled after the valerie jarrett tweet?nt has pointed to the hypocrisy in the media that says the most horrible things about this president and nobody addresses it. >> reporter: yet he's called mexican immigrants rapists, called chuck todd -- >> the sleeping son of a bitch, i'll tell you that. >> reporter: crickets. instability is not an impeachable offense. in fact, trump supporters spin it into a positive after the president called a bunch of country [ bleep ] holes. hang on. i can't say that on tf sn thoo one of the reasons he won and is sitting in the oval office today is because he isn't a scripted robot. >> reporter: economics might not be trickle-down, but instability just might be. >> they do it because we have a white trash racist president. that's a fact. >> reporter: too strong, tom. too strong. i demand you apologize and are fired. now, putting all jokes aside for a second, there is a line i think we should draw. on the one side is bad language, which frankly we may all need to toughen up and get used to and on

but he took issue with the fact that the chairman of disney personally reached out to valerie jarrettologize. trump wrote, gee, he never called president donald j. trump to apologize for the horrible statements made and said about me on abc. maybe i just didn't get the call. well, i'm joined by liz win stead, co-creator of the daily show, ted johnson, senior editor of "variety." sofia nelson, a contributor to nbc think. that's where all our brains get to write stuff. liz, it seems to me that writing for comedy , you have to be lik a race driver. you have to race as fast as you can but not get killed, which is a tricky bit of business every night of your life and sometimes you get killed. what do you make about the first one, roseanne barr? was she -- was that a firing offense from your perspective by abc? was it fair that she was knocked out of a comeback career? >> yeah. totally fair. i mean when you literally, out of thin air, decide to use something that has been a symbol of dehumanizing imagery and a way to literally make black folks lesser than everyone else -- >> a lesser specie

and vulgar language, but when you think about what roseanne barr had to say in terms of calling valerie jarrettpe, a black woman, this is something that's very deep and speaks to race in our culture. dehumanizing people, it speaks to oppression, slavery. i can go on. >> you don't think calling someone the c word is dehumanizing? >> i do. let me finish. i think two white women having an argument over immigration policy and separating parents and the like is as i say vulgar and rank and unnecessary. it does not speak to the idea of tearing apart the social fabric around the most central and difficult issue in america, race. and that's what roseanne barr not only did in this instance, she had done previously with regard to susan rice, another obama official. >> chris: samantha bee has set all manner of horrible things about all manner of women, yes whiteware working in the trump white house. >> and tell anyone of these items speaks to tearing at the social fabric in a way that can't be undone and puts us all in great danger. and therefore it's not about team sport and started i'm a trump supporter

after the comedian tweeted a racist insult comparing valerie jarrett, an african-american obama official >> i'm not surprised people have asked for bee to be fired, two days after roseanne barr was fired, trying to make it out to be a polarity between liberal and conservative. but to equate the racism with her rudeness, to equate the target of roseanne barr's racist attack, african-americans, with ivanka trump, who comes from a position of power, is different. >> reporter: still, many are drawing comparisons and drawing the conclusion that barr was punished and bee protected because of their politics, pointing to another primate joke bill maher previously made about president trump as further evidence of bias. >> i made a joke about his father being an orangutan once. he marched into court with his birth certificate and sued me. >> reporter: critics say politics aside, it's the painful legacy behind barr's tweet that makes it so harmful. >> comparing a black woman to an ape plays into a long history of racism. what samantha bee said, she used a bad word, a word some people find offensive

somethi >> earlier this week abc canceled "roseanne" after "roseanne" sent a racist tweet about valerie jarrett, comparing her to an ape. what was your reaction? >> i was shocked abc made a decision to cancel "roseanne." i feel like the mistake we make performers sometimes is making jokes off the stage. this goes for any comedian. i feel like the safest place, if yowant say something that has some edge, that really was a didn't at you really intend to be taken that way, the safest place to say its on the stage. twitter is a trap. you're at the mercy of other people's interpretations. you have no vocal inflection. it doesn't matter whether i agree with roseanne calling ape.one an i don't agree with that. but the least safe place to do twitter. twitter chews up careers. >> what will you tell your son when he's old i about what's like to be a black man in america? >> my son has to understand that being black is a gift and i sometimes a burden. everybody goes have you had the big ta a. when you going to have the talk. they're talking about the birds and the bees.to me the big talk is how to deal wi

there is a difference between offensive language and a racist comment made about valerie jarrett. those two things are distinct. but it is a really sad moment. and trump unleashed all of this. the same reason why a lot of people say they support him and voted for him because he it is authentic and there's no spin. it all led us to this place where we're using this coarse language in our politics and really misogyny and racism don't have any place in our politics and in is a sad moment. because donald trump has put us in this position. >> let's turn to the president's pardon of dinesh d -souza. >> i president said i got to tell you man to man you've been screwed. i've been looking at the case, i knew from the beginning it was fishy. he said upon reviewing it he felt a great injustice had been done and using his power, he was going to rectify it. sort of clear the slate. and he said he just wanted me to be out there to be a bigger voice than ever defending the principles that i believe in. >> rick, is that what these pardons are also meant to serve as? to use these people as another

she added to the tweet by saying bob iger called valerie jarrett to let her know that abc does not tolerate comments like those. gee, he never called me. joining me, katie pavlich. susan ferrechio, and capri cafaro, a former democratic senator in ohio who teaches at american university. roseanne fires off this horrible racist tweet. abc axes the tweet. you have some anchors like don lemon using that to say the president is more of a racist. katie: when we had the congressional baseball shooting the man who was the shooter supported bernie sanders. but you didn't see the comments that bernie sanders was responsible. what the rest of roseanne's show represented is being ignored. the rest of her show is very diverse. you have the transgender son. an african-american ghter who an african-american mother in the military. the rest of the family supports hillary clinton. all trump supporters and the president himself are being blamed for a comment put on twitter which was a line put continue to a teleprompter with samantha bee. howie: some pundits are saying trump was to blame for the roseanne twe

where she wound up apologizing for using language not identical to roseanne barr's remarks about valerie jarrettut directed toward ivanka trump. >> how do you compare the two or do they compare at all, eugene scott? roseanne barr versus samantha bee. >> i think they are both crass, inappropriate words. but quite frankly, i think you have to look at the implications of comparing black american human beings to apes and how that has influenced policy from the three fifths compromise that black americans weren't actually humans to ongoing attacks that many black reporters have found themselves at the receiving end of. sometimes that trump rally has been called monkey. there is a great essay in the "washington post" it's a day by robert samuels. obviously both are greatly unfortunate terms that should not be used by people of influence. i think we talk about the systemic implications of one. to me that personally greatly outweighs the other. >> eugene, have you run into that yourself? >> every week. every week i get e-mails and tweets of racial slurs of people who don't like what i am saying on tv or
