"erin burnett outfront" starts right now. next, pay to play. the president's ambassador is a huge donor. then the aflcia says it's got distressed babies. philip seymour hoffman. tonight's special report how they can recreate his image and finish the movie. let's go "out front."

"out front" tonight, pay to play. tonight the obama administration facing tough questions about rewarding big donors with plush ambassadorships. here's jen sake being questioned by reporters. >> how much does it cost to be named ambassador in the united states. >> jonathan carl, always a tv question. we don't determine -- >> it's serious. >> i'm not. it is a serious question. we don't name ambassadors from the state department. the white house names ambassadors so i would certainly point you to my old colleagues across the street for that. >> her old colleagues across the street worked at the white house because these appointees are appointees chosen directly by the united states. white house president jay karner didn't answer questions. they are serious because some of the picks overseas are -- here's the press's pick just yet.

>> have you been targeting them. >> i haven't had the opportunity to be there. i've traveled extensively around the world but i hent had a chance. >> here are the nominees for iceland and norway. >> mr. barber, i take it you've been to iceland? >> sir, i've not -- i've not had the privilege yet. i look forward -- >> have you been to norway? >> this is not a spoof, this happened. >> why are these people getting this plumb assignments. each of these nominees raised major, major cash for mr. obama. the nominee to argentina raised more than $1.7 million. the nominee to iceland close to $3 million. the nominee to norway raised only $750,000. this is not new. i want to emphasize this. this is something both parties do. the president, though, is picking more political

appointees than any of his recent predecessors. now not all political appointees are big donors but many are. crony capital limit joins us. he knows two of these j and likes them. both "out front." good to see you, terry. chris, you're with me. those sound bites do sound bad. i have to give credit to one of the guys and smiled and said, okay, this is not a good situation. these are serious jobs. what country do you want to go to that you haven't been to for a couple of years. >> i understand that that's the way people want to look at it. part of it is this is the way this has been done, both by republican and democratic administrations for decades. you have in these key positions someone who is close, has some

kind of personal or professional relationship with the president. that gives that country's leadership the believe at least that they have a good relationship with the president. in terms of the larger question that people are going to raise, what about the expertise? what about the ability to deal with all the diplomatic issues that may develop in that given country? the reality is in every country, even by the way when you report someone as a career diplomat, you know, there are individuals that are incredible in the country? >> well, i don't think it's a question of being a figure head. if you surround yourself with good, smart people, advisors, you can do the job. listen, whether you are a former donor or career diplomat doesn't make a difference. it's how you decide to fulfill

the many challenges of that position. i don't necessarily think it negates. as you said, those two guys are friends of mine. they're extremely bright, capable of a different job. >> they've been happening and i haend found to be 9 ambassador. you need a lot more experience than that. i'll admit it, i do think it should be a basic requirement for a post. how can you satisfy all the other posts if you've never bothered to go there. >> exactly. it turns out it's all about respect. we want to be respected by our partners and the countries that we have ambassadors in. we want to show respect. it's vital for the relationship

particularly in the americas with argentina. we stand on the cusp here. we can have friendly relationships with strong democracies, with pro growth policies with places like panama or columbia. we can let places like argentina go the way of cuba. >> yes. >> by put be somebody there who doens know the time line. it's just a political hack. >> in fairness. >> in the americas. >> terry's very stunned that this has happened. >> terry is a democratic president. >> i know you will the person one zblsh wait a second. that this happened. >> you reported quite a bit. >> under the bush administration. >> i agree that both parties have done this. i don't think it's a good idea especially after the last three or four years with all of the

indecision over foreign policy, we're sending exactly the wrong message continuing this little game that politicians play with the a.m. bass is a dor. >> let's just talk about norway sirns you know the person, george tunice. just to give everyone a background. one of the biggest oil producers. one of the wealthiest oil producers. senator mccain, the nominee in norway. the immigration policy. here's the exchange. >> i will tell you norway has been very quick to denounce them. we're going to continue to work with norway to make sure -- >> the government has denounced snem the coalition government -- they're part of the coalition government. >> you know what, i stand corrected.

i stand corrected and would like to leave my answer answer at they are -- >> i know. i know you like him. i know you think he's smart. i know you think he's tall lemted. how can he be the ambassador to norway. >> he clearly misspoke. he clearly misspoke. in terms of dealing with that situation, obviously that could be done. that being said, he's going to be surrounded by really skilled and capable career diplomats who are going to make sure that he is in the right position. at the end of the day -- >> to hold his hand as the leader. >> this is the highest ranking official in the country. >> let him -- >> nothing but a figure head, then it sends the signal that the top of the heap doesn't matter. >> terry, even when you go to countries that are very serious, you go to afghanistan, pakistan,

two countries which i've been to, i've been in meetings with ambassadors and their staff. >> they delegate a lot to their staff. >> yes. represent the united states of america. >> experts in the given country that they're posted in until they're posted there. you rely on the people around you. i think that's true whether you're the ambassador of norway and china. >> terry in a word and i mean a word. should there be some sort of a law where you can't have hack political appointees? >> yes. the word is yes. >> the word is yes. thank you very much. i think i can endorse that one. thanks very much to both of you. we appreciate it.

self-defense after arguing over teens about the loud music. white man shooting a black teen. is this case the same as trayvon martin case. today in the courtroom the other three men who were in the car with the 17-year-old who was killed gave virtually identical accounts of what happened. >> do you recall anything that jordan david said to the defendant? >> yes, sir. >> what was that? >> fu. >> what did you see the driver of the other car say, yeah, i'm talking to you? >> he reached into his glove compartment. >> and what did the driver do with the gun after you looked at it? >> to my recollection, he started to fire. >> "out front" tonight michael and a criminal defense attorney in jacksonville. thanks to both of you. michael, a lot of people are comparing this to the george zimmerman trial. a black teenager who it turns

out he was unarmed. two of the same prosecutors are on this case. can you make predictions on that, how this trial will go. >> i hope we don't make the same prediction we had in the george zimmerman trial. as a supporter of traf von martin and jordan davis, we don't want him to walk free. in this case he was arrested right away and has been in jail ever since. witnesses to this crime, there weren't a whole lot of witnesses. witnesses in the george zimmerman case, there were a lot of witnesses as zblel janet, this does come down to the whole issue of the weapon. michael dunn's attorney wants to convince the jury that this teenager was, indeed, armed and that they threw the gun away. the teenager was armed and that would justify a self-defense in this case. what do you think? >> it's interesting, erin. everyone said he had a knife in his pocket. to be unarmed, he had a pocket knife. that was four inches long.

>> they were in two separate cars. not like they were side by side. >> right. but to say unarmed may not be accurate. he doesn't have to literally have a weapon. there has to be the perception that's reasonable that he did and what came out today is that he was the aggressor. that jordan davis was the one who initiated the verbal dispute even though obviously mr. dunn asked him to turn the music down but that he was sort of threatening in his language if not literally threatening mr. dunn. i think this should have been a strong day for the state and i'm not sure it was. >> what do you think about that? that he could have possibly feared for his life? they did all admit that the teenagers were being obnoxious and rude, all of those things. that's not the same for fearing for your life. >> i totally disagree with janet. you have to look at the case here. there could be an argument if he shot into the car but he shot in there eight times. you have to be in fear of your life for imminent danger. michael dunn did not

de-escalate. he kept shooting at them as they were driving away. unless michael dunn can prove that jordan davis had a gun or a lead pipe as the defense attorney, you know, says he did, this case is very hard for michael dunn to win. >> would you agree with that, janet? eight times of shooting does appear to raise the bar. >> well, you know, it does, but there's two issues. one is i think that ofgsers have said and are going to say that there is adrenaline and a component of their adrenaline. they saw him late injury and they didn't continue shooting. victory doesn't have to be a not guilty. this is charged as first degree murder which is not what zimmerman was charged with. if they can't prof it was premeditated, which i think they can't. i'm going to go out on a limb and say they have not, i think it's a lesser. >> if they over charge, michael, they could make a huge error. >> well, in a first degree murder case you have lesser charge, secretary degree murder and manslaughter.

the jury can take up a second degree charge and in this case i think it's the second volume of shots, he shot a foot nava way from the car. he did not shoot to scare, he shot to kill. >> so you're saying the first shot may not have been premeditated but that the others were you could think -- >> you could argue the first time that could be traumatic head injury. as he continues to shoot. you don't have adrenaline if you shoot four more times in a car that's driving away. >> i think the premeditation has to have come before any shooting began. it can't be in the middle. the other issue is if he was doing this cold blooded, this is malice aforethought. this is execution style murder. fourth degree. it is never a situation where you have that. th this is the same prosecution team that uses the cynical

strategy and it didn't work there. >> thanks very much to both of you. whatever you think about gun policy. it's hard to argue if people weren't driving around with guns lying around in their car. still to come, for the first time we have a look inside the florida movie theater where the florida police officer shot and killed a father who was texting his baby-sitter. the crucial evidence seen on video camera. plus, putin tops president obama as the most powerful man on the planet. and joe buy the den got some. tonight i stand with joe. fedex one rate. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order. good news. i got a new title. and a raise? management couldn't make that happen.

suspect in custody tonight after attempting to hijack a plane and divert it to sochi. the passengers aboard this plane identified the man with the number 11 jersey as the suspect. now the plane was diverted to istanbul. the suspect was detained there. the scare comes at an intense time with the threats surrounding the olympics. an event that was meant to be a crowning achievement for vladimir putin. it's been talked about the games have obviously had a bit of a rocky start, half-finished hotels, things like that. today during the opening ceremonies, an olympic size ring failed to illuminate. they were trying to advertise

for bp. that's a problem. in st. petersberg and moscow they arrested several people. editor of forbes joins me. when you look at what's happened today, and the past few days, how does it reflect on putin? this is one man's games in some ways. >> it's the wizard of oz olympics because what's happening now is the entire world is seeing behind the curtain. while putin can project strength, ukraine, syria, when you bring the entire world's media and all of these problems illuminate the problems russia has internally. they have terrorism problems. they have economic problems. they have corruption problem. that's what's really damming and hurts him. it's real problems russia has. not olympic problems. >> there was the moment when reporters were complaining about things in their hotel rooms. a member of the russian government says, they have

cameras in the bathroom. >> right. they whisk him away. that brings up the snowden thing. all of the issues going on beforehand are amplified. these are all metaphors. when you spend $50 billion on the olympics and you get four rings to light up, $10 billion a ring, that shows the problem of the russian economy. $50 billion, everything should work. if they can't get you toilets and rings right, it shows you how much has fallen off the truck, gone into people's problems. >> incredibly corrupt. 70, $100 billion. by far the wealthiest person on the planet. 20 residence, ski lodge, 15 helicopters. 43 planes. a presidential jet furnished with gold. why is it so hard to figure out how much money this guy has? >> like any head of state, especially when you're head of this state, who gets up what the

state has and what he has. because of the corruption, we don't know how much they have in secret bank accounts. we've looked at forbes many times on what putin is worth but we think he's a billionaire. very hard to prove it because he doesn't have a bank account. we met with the number three gentleman. that's a big deal. he said, look, we were asking him about the rule of law. he pointed out that he had disclosed recently that he was worth, i don't remember, $100 million. somehow the number three official was now worth $100 million. he said, this is a good thing because i'm showing how transparent we are. if he's bragging he's only worth 100 million, it's incredible. >> thank you very much. and that brings me to tonight's out take. so, sure, the sochi olympics are officially in project. look at those, red square action.

one of the olympic rings as i pointed out at the top of the show refused to work. there were plenty of other things to show, dancers, glow in the dark skaters, enormous set pieces and a gaggle of adorable mascots. there was, however, one very important russian mascot missing. perhaps the most important mascot, edward snowden. we looked high and low for snowden during today's ceremony. we didn't see him. we didn't expect him to be carrying the russian flag or lighting the flame. we didn't think they would be quite so flag grant about it. maybe it would be a small welcoming speech, a little face time with his buddy vlad. the opening ceremony's are a country's opportunity to show off what they're capable of, strength, precision, defines. nothing proves more than what russia is capable of. we're holding out hope that snow different will appear at the games. if they're about showing off,

he's a gold medal for russia. still to come, the ceo of aol is cutting his benefits because of sick babies? plus, an update on the man who lost his race for a year. on the ground in the marshall islands to get the truth. ♪ ♪ ♪ abe! get in! punch it!

welcome back to the second half of "out front" on friday. new developments in the florida movie theater shooting case. the judge has failed to grant bail to curtis reeves. he's accused of killing a father. in the courtroom jurors found this video from inside the theater. let me tell you what you're looking at. reeves is at the bottom of the right-hand corner. apparently the victims are buying a popcorn and throws it back at reeves. that seems to be when he pulls out a gun and fires. now the debris that you see firing over the camera lens is dust from the gunshot. that's according to the tampa bay times. you see, that's debris. jurors also listened to recordings of interviews with reeves in the two clips. reeves expresses regret. >> i pulled the trigger [ bleep ]. if i had to do it over again, it would never have happened. stupid move.

>> reeves faces life in prison. the faa is investigating allegations justin bieber was flying high. sources tell cnn that bieber and his father refused to stop smoking pot and were extremely verbally abusive to the crew. the pot smoke is said to have been so strong that the crew was forced to put on oxygen masks. they advised the person to stay close to the cockpit. and a final curtain call for jay leno and it was, well, well deserved. leno's last night as host of the "tonight show" was the most watched "tonight show" in 15 years. 15 million viewers tuned in. before signing off after his 20 years on the show a choked up leno joked he got to work with lighting people who made him look better than he really is. >> and i got to work with producers. and just all kinds of talented

people who made me look a lot smarter than i really am. >> very emotional. a tribute to the man he repla d replaced, johnny carson. >> i want to quote johnny carson who was the greatest guy to ever do this job and he said i bid you all a heart felt good-bye. >> it was a sad good-bye but it's highly unlikely that will be the last we see of jay leno. tonight aol ceo is being slammed. you may say wait a minute. let me explain. aol is cutting 401 k. contributions that it makes to employees -- to some of the employees that leave the employ before the end of the year. armstrong told poppy harlow that the reason he's doing this is due to the rising cost of health care. partly due to, drumroll please, obamacare. he got more specific on an

employee-wide conference call. that's where this whole conversation begins because according to a transcript of the call that an aol staffer gave capital new york, armstrong said and i want to quote him, this isn't a situation to paraphrase. we had two aol zwlaers had distressed babies that were born and we paid a million to make sure they were okay. when we have the final decisions on what benefits to cut, we made the decision and i made the decision to basically close our 401 k program. maybe you buy into it, maybe you don't. just yesterday announced its most successful year is to come. kevin o'leary is joining us. just how can two complicated pregnancies justify cutting the 401 k. for the company? because, erin, something has

changed. the rules of health care and how we pay for them. i think we're seeing the unintended consequences. i'm not saying the merits are bad, it's just that it's different. we have to separate his comments regarding the success of his company from the costs he's trying to control. i think he may have wanted to have chosen different examples but this is the beginning of what i consider to be a very long, difficult implementation from this morning. >> the type of changes he's made have been done by other companies. ibm was among them. what makes this case unique is how he did it. if he hadn't brought up the distressed babies and singles them out is he could blame these

two babies. how can he blame two people out of 5600 employees. i want to go back 30,000 feet and what talked about to me. you end up divorced. if you're in business and you never talk to your shareholders or worse, i won't let them send this to you. >> i checked. i think it's left at the desk. >> obviously i said this law is supposed to be able to impact it. the trooit is, this company and thousands of others like it are going to have to make changes. >> so you're saying you agree with my point of view obviously. i'm a new mother and obviously when you are a pregnant woman,

people know who you are. like i said, you can't hide who you are. you don't think it was appropriate for him to say these two babies ran up costs of $1 million and that's why people are taking a cut. >> i'm glad this topic has come to the fore and we're talking about t. you ain't seen nothing yet. wait until you talk to a public company and i'll employ that. i'm telling you, this is the beginning of a very difficult challenge regarding how we're changing the cost of health care. i'm not glad that he said that but i'm glad we're talking about it right now. >> and i want to ask you about something else that has captured my attention and the attention of a lot of viewers and that is this great divide that has grown between rich and poor and what to do about it.

whether the very, very wealthy are being unfairly demonized. one of my luckiest real estate adventurers and nobody has rained in on that. >> 1% our being hum nld because it's politically convenient to do so. the problem is that the world and this country should not talk about envy of the 1% they should talk about emulating the 1%. the 1% are much bigger factors in all form of -- >> what do you think about that? paul mcdonald didn't want the adebayor. what do you think? >> you know, we live in a capital society and we have now

focussed on this capitalism. you also employ most of the people, you also create products and services that benefit all of us, and while you're at it, we're talking about poverty because this topic started with an oxfam report. in that same 30-year period that this has occurred poverty went from 42% down to 17% because of the success of those 85 people who will pay billions in taxes and are provided to paul this up for real. >> i'm one of those people that says working. >> a lot of people si that and they just -- thas gree with fourth. then it was close to a deprelgs

and then you have records. ceo pay has been rising. how's that one okay. i'll tell why you we have that profit. record numbers and looks like the same this year. we've made the regulatory environment in our own country so difficult to create new jobs that they simply moved out of the country. it's making it as their new regulations last year federally. that doesn't include state or local. now you know why. i'm right about this. >> all right. but what i was really asking is why c.e.o. is going up but regular kpe sayin

regular competition. there ace no competition. there's thousands of people to pay more. this is a huge problem. it's time to look at the cause. there's nothing wrong with american capitalism that's a lot with it. there's a lot wrong which in my view my -- that, erin, is unamerican. >> kevin, appreciate your take on it. i'm sure you have ardent views. plies share those with us. the final is both for roger. >> it's going to actually finish the job, maybe him alive. pretty inkretd dinl story and it's next.

he seems to be stable now. it looks like he may be getting out and off to honolulu probably on monday. >> thanks to miguel. i wanted to stay with that, everybody. i know there was a little bit of trouble with the audio. so many people have said this could have happened. life of pie on that. and i want to check with anderson cooper now with what's coming up on "a c360." >> fascinating story. what's happening with women voters. sandra fluke who came under attack especially from rush limbaugh will be a cougar

bread until the incredibly tomorrow. he had seven days worth of work left on that movie. obviously so much of it is in there. you can't just start from scratch. they have to if i can out what to do with hoffman's remains. we spent time with a group philip seymour hoffman sooemts seems to be fighting himself in -- technology could save the final installment of "the hunger game" series. filming was almost complete when hoffman died. now producers must create a performance that never happened. with enough time and money, it can be done digitally. >> to complete the movie using philip seymour hoffman is not an impossible task. it's kind of easy to do.

compared to 20 years ago, we have advanced the art so much that we can absolutely put a photo realistic breathing human in there that you will be not able to distinguish between the original. >> reporter: 20 years ago when lead actor brandon lee died in an on-set accident the crow was finished using a facial image of lee superimposed on a body double. two decades earlier, lee's father bruce died before "the game of death" was finished. a look alike filmed his remaining scenes, the best option at that time. not anymore. >> the holy grail of visual effects has been able to pull off a digital human. >> reporter: eric barba and his team at digital domain won an oscar for "the curious case of benjamin button." for 52 minutes it shows an artificially aged brad pitt. >> here is brad where we're capturing the details of how his face moved. >> so the head is superimposed upon another actor's body.

>> yes. the facial expressions, the characteristics that brad was able to portray in the performance was then put on the other actor. >> reporter: digital domain also created a full-size digital image of the late rapper tupac shakur who appeared to be resurrected at the 2012 cochella music festival for a performance with snoop dogg. this dior ad with long-lost stars like grace kelly. visual artists say the powerful emotions of a real-life actor remain difficult to duplicate especially one as talented as philip seymour hoffman. >> we want to make sure we're clear, erin, that we don't know if digital domain or any other company is actually going to recreate these digital images to finish this "hunger games" series. it's just one possibility. these technologies, though, can provide some other benefits to producers. we were told by one of these visual artists about the story

of one particularly petulant, uncooperative actor who was actually persuaded to get back on set and do his scene under the threat of replacing him with a digital image, erin. >> well, that's pretty incredible. i mean, so casey, what do you think the chances are they do this? i guess how long and painstaking is the process? >> well, it can be very, very long. it can take months. and it can be very, very expensive. millions of dollars, depending on how long the scene that needs to be shot is. the reports are that there's not that much left to shoot in this film. so it's probably fairly likely that they could use some sort of this digital technology to make it look as real as possible, given the fact there's not that much left to do, apparently. >> amazing technologically. thanks so much, casey. and still to come, tonight my stance with joe biden.
