I discuss the ironic comments by Trump's Chief of Staff, General John Kelly, where he lists things he thinks should be sacred. General Kelly was trying to defend President Trump after he allegedly told a pregnant military widow that "this is what he signed up for," in regards to her now deceased husband.

I also discuss the recent strong repudiation of Trump's divisive right-wing nativism by former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, along with Senator John McCain.

Leslie is joined by Scott N. Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.
