i wouldn't be surprised if he ended up choosing one. >> zerlina, let's get to a clip now. this is about the president and how roe v. wade could factor into his conversations with the candidates on that seat for the supreme court. let's take a listen to him. >> are you going to ask your nominees beforehand how they might vote on roe versus wade? >> well, that's a big one. and probably not. they are all saying don't do that. you don't do that. you shouldn't do that. but i'm putting conservative people on. but i don't think i'm going to be so specific. >> what do you make of that? >> he's telling you the answer in the middle, he's nominating conservative people. they have all been vetted by the federalist society. they are all anti-choice. all the people on the list will vote to overturn roe v. wade. the game we are going to play is them dodging, bobbing, weaving and pretending that's not what they're going to do if confirmed by the senate. this is a break the glass moment. if you have never lived in a world where abortion was not legal, where access to contraception was not

zerlina maxwell of sirius xm, joe watkins is with me as well. former aide to george h.w. bush, and michael steele, former senior adviser to jeb bush. zerlina, let me start with you. and the confusion i was talking about with danny just a moment ago. we learned from political, the department of health and human services creating a task force to deal in some capacity with what's happened here. what is your sense of the magnitude of the confusion, the chaos and engagement from this administration in trying to figure out what needs to happen next? >> it's clear at this stage they did not have a plan for reunification, or at least it wasn't a priority. as this has all unfolded throughout the week, it is clear the administration was surprised by the backlash. the "washington post" and the "times" this morning, we are learning more about the fact that steven miller loves these images, he loves the sight of asylum seekers and undocumented people in these detention facilities. and i think that's particularly alarming if you're an american who is repulsed by these images of people

it's really on the line right now. >> zerlina, kim, eli thank you. trump's high stake gamble with north korea is coming up this week. he says he doesn't have a prayer. he doesn't have to prepare he said. he says it's all about attitude. is that a recipe for success over in singapore? it's all about attitude or disaster? plus, another day and more bad headlines for the epa administrator mr. scott pruitt. he had to be told to stop eating his lunch at the white house mess. he's there too often. he's the kind of guy as we knew in school that gets caught. and he gets caught pre couple days. by the way, if you're not convinced how many vice president mike pence wants to be like his boss, you need to see this video. watch how trump puts his water bottle -- there he goes and pence does exactly the same thing within seconds. robotically. there he goes again. finally let me finish, that's like a dog trick. we're going to finish tonight with trump watch. he's not going to like tonight, i can tell you. this is "hardball" where the action is. for weakness. do not

. >> zerlina, there was samantha bee demanding to get fired. she apologized for the word choice. she took full responsibility. but where do we go from here when there's another inappropriate comment made against a white house official or when the president himself makes an offensive comment? >> we're in a precarious moment when the white house likes to stand on to criticize people for using bad language. the president has used terrible language. he used the c word to describe women in the past. he took a photograph with ted nugent. he called hillary clinton the same c word that samantha bee used. 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. b

>> one of our colleagues yesterday said, zerlina maxwell, said it perfectly.s because they're brown and they remind people of gangs and that's what their talking points are. yes, i think it's very carefully orchestrated. it's also not surprising. let's not forget, five months ago, the president called el salvador an s-hole country and why can't we get people from norway? we heard the president's lead on immigration. this administration does not want to have anymore immigrants from s-hole countries. >> brown immigrants, is what you're saying? >> yes. that's very clear. and the republicans are in a bind, because they have to show some kind of compassion, i think peter's point about the polling is right, although i'll take point that it depends on how you ask the question. >> we saw this story during 2016. do you think people night agree with the policy, might not be that upset about it, but will tell a pollster a different thing, because they don't want to come off as racist to that pollster? >> potentially. but i also think that at this point, what's different
