please join us for another edition of "crossfire" tomorrow. erin burn on "outfront" starts right now. next the ceo of aol blamed "distressed babies on quotes to employee benefits." tonight the mother of one of those babies out front. who is hillary clinton blaming for the monica lewinsky scandal. and the production rests in the loud music trial where a white man is charged with shooting and killing a black teenager opinion is it a premeditated murder. we'll tell you who is that teenager? we'll tell you tonight. let's go "outfront".

good evening everyone i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight distressed babies. two words thrown out by the ceo of aol. two words that now have the nation talking. tonight we're joined by the mother of one of those distressed babies. but here's how we got here. it all started last week when tim armstrong the aol ceo started discussing some cuts in 401(k) contributions at the company. first, armstrong said the cuts were due to the rising cost of health care citing obamacare. then he got more specific on an employee wide town hall referring to two quote distressed babies that he said cost the company $1 million each. the reason he said those babies pushed health care costs up for the entire company something armstrong said he needed to make cost cut somewhere. that's where the 401(k) got the cut. he never mentioned the babies by name. but news traveled fast. within a few minutes an editor

at aol's "huffington post" started getting emails isn't he talking about your baby? his wife found out quickly. his daughter was born four months premature in october 2012. at the time she weighed less than 2 pounds. she was bruised all over. she spent three months in neonatal intensive care. there was a blog posted, his remarks exposed the most searing experience of our lives one that my husband and i still to discuss. but each other phono other purpose than an absurd justification for corporate cost-cutting. she's beat the odds. she's buzzing around like a 1-year-old. a miracle by american medicine. back at aol armstrong has been

under fire. now he apologized to employees. he's reversed the 401(k) switch. he's also called dana faye who is out front tonight and we invited tim armstrong to appear on this program but he has decline. let me start off by saying it must be as a new mother myself you must look at her every day and think of the miracle. you write about how you didn't want to name her or connect with her because you didn't think she would live. >> that's true. it was the most traumatic experience that my family has ever gone through. but, i mean seeing her eat her macaroni, see her take her first steps this past week, watching her just fight for every minute of her life in the hospital, i am so grateful for the doctors and nurses who looked after her and i'm grateful for the fact that we had health insurance in a country where a lot of people are not so fortunate and that we were covered in this situation

where we experienced something that no one could foresee and there was nothing to do to prevent. >> how did you first hear about tim armstrong's comment? how did that day go down for you >> i was home taking care of my daughter. i had started getting some emails from my husband, and when i first saw the headlines i just couldn't believe it. you know, i just sort of couldn't process that the girl who was in front of me was the subject of these headlines about a distressed baby who cost the company too much money, and was sort of being accused of having been, you know, a drag on the company's bottom line. at first i didn't want to think about it because the last thing i want to do is relive those days where she was on life support. but, you know, as the firestorm started to erupt over his remarks the more i started thinking, you know, this is such an injustice to single out any

individual let alone a newborn baby for simply undergoing, you know, a medical crisis and then using their health benefits. so, i felt the need to speak up and defend my family. i felt like we had been exposed and that our privacy had been violated. and i also felt like, you know, where does this end? if we could be singled out like this, i mean what about a woman who gets diagnosed with breast cancer. would anyone dare to suggest that that was, you know, somehow a luxurious option that we paid to save her life? >> tim armstrong has apologized in a company wide memo and you and he had a personal conversation. he's the father of three. you believe that to be very sincere. >> yes, do i. >> what more do you want from aol? >> you know, i think aol is actually a company that does strive to take care of its

employees and we have generous benefits. but i think that, you know, in the future just with any discussion of health care expenditures which are important and necessary for to us have on a national policy level i think it's legitimate for health care experts to talk about what's appropriate in terms of caring for extreme preemies. given what the costs are and how many people have to do without health care. but, i think in this situation it was certainly not the time or place to have this kind of conversation. you know, we're talking about a company that just posted its best quarterly earning in 12 years. when we have these necessary conversations we approach it with more sensitivity and when we're talking about the dollars and cents we're mindful of the actual human lives that are at stake. >> do you think that tim armstrong -- what do you think should happen to him? should he keep his job after this?

>> you know, i feel that's not for me to say. i don't think that he's a villain. i'm not interested in raking him over the kools. i this he's genuinely regret what he said. there was no malicious intent. >> you talked about what a violation of your family's privacy. he didn't call your family out by name. your husband started getting emails. legal experts said there could have been a violation of medical privacy laws. are you considering a lawsuit or anything else? >> i have not thought about that. i don't know the legality of the issue. all i know is on an emotional level it felt like a violation and that among, you know, a lot of people who just knew my husband and knew us, they had heard about our situation because it was so shocking at the time. and so it was really immediate, you know, the way that they were able to connect that to us

personally. and when i started, you know, seeing the reports that were out there and all tweets about distressed babies which quickly turned into jokes about, you know, just about this whole media gossip, it was extremely painful for me. >> and what is it like now? you're a professional mom. you're an author. what's it like every day? >> every day feels like a gift. there's not a single thing i can take for granted because her condition was so dire when she came out. we didn't know if she would ever eat. if she would ever sit up. we didn't know if she would ever be able to nurse. we didn't know if she was going to be able to breathe on her own. just being able to hold her and being able to, you know, see her smile when she wakes up every day is a won and i'm grateful.

>> it brings tears to my eyes to look at it. thank you so much for coming on and sharing your story. >> thank you so much. out front next who did hillary clinton call a narcissistic looney tune. president of france highly eligible i here this from many french sources. he'll be in the united states for a white house house dinner. how showing up stag is causing problem. an a video of a top al qaeda suspect snatched in the middle of the night. we'll explain.

bad news tonight for new jersey governor chris christie. the bridge scandal about to grow b bigger. there will be 18 additional subpoenaed issued tomorrow, 14 to people or offices who haven't previously been subpoenaed some for people who actually work in the governor's office. how bad is this for christie. my guest is the newest member of the cnn family. we've been watching him forever. it's his debut here on cnn. a new program live on saturday morning in addition to your duties on sirius xm, columnist for the philadelphia enquirer.

nobody has proved christie has been involved. the slow process of the investigation has taken a toll in the polls. can he turn it around for 2016 even if he's cleared. >> it's interesting you characterize this as bad news because i'm not so sure it's bad news. the nature of our political process is to build up candidates, tear them down and build them back up again. if these subpoenas should bear fruit and if someone should uncover a particular document or a witness that shows that chris christie wasn't truthful in that marathon press conference, then he's finished. but at some point, so many individuals are subpoenaed, and there's no yield, i think the pendulum swings back in his favor, he gets to play the victim card and that will play very well particularly among hardened republicans. >> because people say oh, look this was a pile on, they tried and tried and tried.

especially when you look at the people with the subpoenas, right? it's democrats, no, it's not exactly bipartisan. >> yeah. i think especially in these fiscally challenged times, residents of the garden state will say how much are we spending who knew what about the bridge closure. the victim card, take a look at the fact that chris christie now is going to cpac this year where last year they didn't want to hear from him. i'm sure that's some can go in, thump his chest, rail against the "new york times" and blame it on the media. >> it's true. i want had the effect of winning over the far right although he lost some independents. the question is how that trade will work. two weeks ago you wrote a column about your own run in with chris christie which i thought was interesting. is the notion, i mean this is what it comes down to is the american public in areas way far removed from the northeast get to know this guy, right. is the notion that he would exact political payback by

closing a lane on a bridge to a small town democratic mayor in a governor's race he was going to win by a landslide. is that notion too far fetched to you? >> it's not too far fetched for me and i think in my case and in another individual's cases it's all had us a re-evaluating and reconstructing past exchanges that we had with the governor and taken a second look at the brand. you know, that verbose mannerism that he has and the way in which he conducts himself that plays so well on the stage in new jersey i've longed believed will be a problem nationwide when you put together on a two minute clip all of those outbursts. his grantest asset is his chief liability. >> isn't that what it's supposed to be for all of us. we all have that. but, now let me ask you. when you look at the polls. obviously he has fallen dramatically. we saw a complete reversal.

he would have beaten hilary and now he'll lose. now and between 2016 is 50 life times. let's talk about hillary clinton. a conservative website broke a story today with the subheading quote archive of closest friend paints important traft ruthless first lady. the site was the first to reveal some old notes andyry entries belonging to an old friend and long time confidant. what she said about monica lewinsky it was a lapse but she says to his credit he tried to break it off, tried manage someone who was a narcissistic looney tune but beyond control. is that a revelation hurtful to hilary? does this make her more of a political operative than a hurt human? >> i don't think so. i want reads like a novel. i don't think it moves the

needle political. real news would be that in these notes, in these diary entry from the friend that she wasn't co e condescending to this woman. >> fair point. do you think they have any chance, republicans, of making this lewinsky scandal hurt hilary now? rand paul is trying calling bill clinton a sexual predator. >> yep. erin, i don't understand it. i don't get it. the only conclusion i can come to is ran paul uses this because it stirs the waters among the republican faithful and probably a great fundraising tool but i don't think this thing sells in a general election. i don't think independents give a damn about this sort of thing. it will fire up the base. it will help you win a nomination. not going to help you win a general election. >> i'm really excited you'll be here for the general election with us. i love watching you. thank you so much. we're so excited to have you on

our team. >> i'm s ympsyched. >> should the president have the power to kill an american overseas with a drone. plus francois hollande arrives in the united states all alone. how his stag status is making for an awkward state dinner at the white house. cringe worthy moments a tv anchor confuses samuel jackson with a different actor of color.

francois hollande goes to washington alone. and things could get a little awkward. today president obama welcomed his french counter part, president francois hollande with a tour of thomas jefferson's estate at monticello. tomorrow is when things could get dicey for the newly singled president at an official state dinner at the white house. this is a big deal. you're looking at the preview of the set up for that dinner. it will happen tomorrow.

special coverage is planned for you. typically the partner of the visiting head of state is seated next to the united states. these things are not just chance and not when this president comes in we'll do it this way. no. it's very specific. francois hollande recently announced his split from a partner of seven years amid reports he cheated with her on a younger actress. aknit gentleman mcbride helped plan state dunners for laura bush. this whole situation tabloid meats politics enraptured france and the united states and this isn't the first time a french president showed up solo. you were the one when francois hollande 's predecessor, president sarkozy showed up after he split from his wife. who sits next to the president? >> there's a wonderful guest list that's put together selected by fortunate and first lady with people that they wanted to have at the dinner. so there will be plenty of other

people that they could select next to the president for sure. >> so, why don't the two heads of state sit together. that's what i was wondering? i was thinking more chance to talk, or is it, i guess, the whole point they don't ever want to talk. >> well let's remember they are going to spend the entire day together at meetings and talking about important issues which is the real reason why a foreign head of state is invited to come here because there's important business to discuss. but, you know, one of the biggest reasons why, it's a matter of precedent and protocol, of course, over hundreds of years, but this gives an opportunity for more people to sit with the principals rather than putting all the principals together at one table. can you have them be hosts at various tables and then more of your guests have an opportunity to visit with you. >> of course, we just -- we end up losing out. i remember when david cameron and samantha cameron came in.

nice to see them and what they wore. anyway, we'll lose out on that this time. but i'm sure perhaps there will be another state dinner and he'll have someone to come with. >> they are wonderful events. >> anita, thank you. >> you're welcome. now, urt tiit's time for th "outfront" out takes. the sochi olympics have been a superb showcase for the world's top apartment let's, the male athletes. last night i was watching the coverage of the men's alpine skiing, the run of carlo jenka. he recently underwent heart surgery. the nbc announcer shared a comment that he made saying quote there was a point when he said i don't even belong on the women's downhill tour. the announcer shared the comment and was laughing and then, i kept watching. few hours later i heard another announcer say this about a female snowboarder that was a

great run just five or ten years ago that would have been a great men's run. women are just five or ten years behind men. look i understand women are not physically strong as men. that's generally a fact. to have a guy in a booth dismissal female athletes is bad. when it comes to coverage of the olympics this kind of inequality is not new. a professor watched every second of the 2010 olympics. in 201062% of nbc's primetime coverage went to men. and 75% were male that were mentioned. they received more mentions than the female athletes on the list. when talking about women winning it was about how they got lucky. it's 2014. we can do better. prosecutors wrap up their case on a man for murder of a black

trial of michael dunn. police say the black teenager was unarmed and killed over playing loud music. this was a dramatic ending to the state's case this morning. prosecutors brought out the shirt, boxers with gunshot holes clearly visible. these shots according to the prosecution were premeditated. they said dunn deliberately had to put six pounds of pressure every time he fired one of the shots. the defense brought forth their own witnesses. family and friends who claim dunn is not a violent man. >> are you aware of mr. dunn as reputation for peacefulness? >> yes. very nice guy. >> never have i observed anything other than a very calm demeanor. >> i always thought he was a gentleman. >> similar words are also being used to describe davis, a young man we still know little about. trayvon became a household name. our martin savage is out front

with more. >> reporter: sitting in her son's bedroom she reads from a journal she started soon after 17-year-old jordan davis was killed. >> every where i turn jordan i see you. i keep remembering all the things we used to do and all the places we used to go. >> reporter: you pretty quickly realize we are eavesdropping on a conversation between a heartbroken mother and the child she can no longer see. >> i need the country to know you and our god. help me and your father to make the changes necessary to make our world a little bit safer. i don't want anyone else to die. >> reporter: in the shorthand of news davis is simply the black teen shot and killed by a white man allegedly over loud music. that's how he died. not who he was. >> he was athletic. he liked sports. he played a little base bubble.

>> humorous. fun loving. jokester. full of a lot of understanding and wisdom. >> reporter: due to medical issues his parents feared they would never have children. jordan named for the river of fame. >> jordan was raised on a strong spiritual foundation and we had him in private christian school for a few years until fourth grade. then pulled him out and i home schooled him from fourth grade to eighth grade. >> reporter: he wasn't perfect. jordan's fwrads and attitude seemed to take a turn for the worse as an early teen some between live with dad in jacksonville. some tough love turned him around. he began talking about joining the military. becoming a marine. mom says friends naturally followed him. he liked that. >> he was always wanted to be the first. always wanted to be leader.

>> reporter: that is now all in the past. back in jordan's room, she confesses to occasionally wearing his prized air jordans. >> it makes me feel he was with me. >> reporter: the only thing she cherishes more is a photo taken on an early christmas gift jordan begged to have, an ipad. >> this was the night before he was murdered. in his bedroom in jacksonville with his friend. this was the very last picture we have of him. >> reporter: this was probably the most difficult day of the trial for the family because it was the medical examiner that took the stand. you have the graphic images and a clinical description by a doctor of how are you child died. they had to leave the courtroom. it was the first time they were not in court. tomorrow michael dunn himself may take the stand. >> martin, thank you.

i want to bring in trayvon martin's family attorney. and ben, let me start with you. trayvon martin case he quickly became a first name across the country. the president, you know, said if i had a son he would look like trayvon. now, frankly, as martin said jordan davis gets referred to as the black teenager shot by the white hand. i wonder if you see perils between these cases. part of the reason that trayvon martin became a household name is people like you made sure people knew about him. do you think jordan davis should also be known like that? >> i think all our children should have a value and respect because their lives mattered. remember, erin, at the beginning nobody was saying trayvon as a household name. in fact, it was easily going to be swept under the rug if it

wasn't young people who said i could be trayvon. what's ironic jordan davis took a photograph with him in a hoodie to show support for trayvon. no way he could have imagined, you know, months later that he would be killed and his killer would say stand your ground, and it's just so tragic on so many levels. >> and, janet, let me ask you. a lot of this case in terms of the stand your ground defense rests on this one issue which is why michael dunn would have shot jordan davis and shot some times. the prosecution said every time you had to put six pounds of pressure on that trigger on those bullets which they said was ten. how can that be self-defense? >> well, that may be answered tomorrow. the defense is proposing to put on an expert in acute stress disorder and i think that expert might address that when you're under stress adrenaline might take over and might shoot more

times than are necessary to what we would think. that may or may not come in tomorrow because angela is objecting to that witness. she's deposing him tonight and the judge will decide tomorrow whether that koinls. that could be a crucial piece of information that the jury will be asking for answer to. why deshoot some times. >> ben, what's your take on that question? because, i mean do you in your mind think there's any way the jury could exonerate michael dunn. what do you think? is it possible? >> well, you know, we thought in trayvon's case it was clear cut and we certainly think this is even more clear cut because there are three live witnesses left. the troubling thing is just like the killer trayvon martin, the killer of jordan davis, they put themselves in harm's way. and, you know, trayvon's killer could have stayed in the car and drove away. jordan davis's killer could have

stayed in the car and drove away. that's tragedy. if you reversed the roles, you have trayvon's killer an jordan's killer, nobody would be sad whether it was first degree murder or not and that's the most troubling thing as an officer of the court to look at these double standards. >> double standards because of race? >> well, certainly nobody can deny the fact of race in these cases. >> janet, let me ask you, because when it comes down to what will happen to mr. dunn the defense called a character witness for him, his son. his son named chris. he told the jury his father was in a good mood at his wedding. i want to play what he said when he was cross-examined. if he's exonerated it will rest on these personal character, people vouching for his personal character. here's how the exchange went. >> how many times did you see your father michael dunn in the last 15 years prior to your wedding? >> three times. >> three times. total.

>> yes, ma'am. >> is it fair to say you didn't know your father very well prior to having him at your wedding? >> yes. yes it is. >> that's who they are going to as a character witness. it's his son. i didn't know my father very well. i saw him three times in 15 years. is that the best they have your sfwhoerd >> his ex-wife. she wasn't giving a stellar recommendation. that's one of the reasons dunn has to testify. the jury will think this is bad character. what kind of dad doesn't see his son in eight years and he has to take the stand tomorrow explain that, explain why he didn't tell anyone he saw the gun. i think he'll have to testify which is a very difficult thing for a defense attorney to sit through. >> thanks very much to both of you. as martin reported if he does testify that will happen tomorrow. we'll continue dover that case but we did want to give you a chance tonight to know a little bit about jordan davis. still to come should the obama administration use a drone

kill an american, if this american happened to be involved in al qaeda? is it a slippery slope. and stuff at the westminster dog show. did any of them yuan? jeanne moos is coming up. hey guys! sorry we're late. did you run into traffic? no, just had to stop by the house to grab a few things. you stopped by the house? uh-huh. yea.

>> american citizens may be in the cross-hairs according to senior u.s. be officials. the obama administration is considering a drone strike to kill an american citizen overseas who is involved with al qaeda and suspected of plotting attacks against the u.s.. now we don't know who the suspected terrorist is or where, we assume it's he, cube she is living but lethal military force can only be use when there is proof of a danger against u.s. citizens and there's no chance of capturing them. "outfront" tonight senior military analyst. you've been in the room when these decisions are made. first what's your points of view? should this be something that the u.s. does, by the way? we've done it before. >> we should. it's a capability that the united states has. it should be kept as an option to go after folks like this the the discussion becomes legal whether they are a u.s. citizen or not where they are located

and what their veterans. you get in the discussion of levels of detail in terms of intelligence. short answer is yes it needs to remain in the discussion as a capability to be used. >> the president in that big speech he made about drones, it was kind of a lot of pomp and circumstance and then nothing sense. he said killing an american with a drone strike is unconstitutional without due process but he did justify drone strikes. leapt me ask you because you've been in the room when decisions are made on whether to strike somebody. tell me who is in the room. there's lawyers in the room. how does that qualify satisfying due process. >> the definition of due process has to be provided by a lawyer. having been involved in discussions on drones and terms of their capabilities to strike or not strike there's always legal representation in the room and the operational commander at various levels that makes the go, no go decision. lawyers are talking to not only

the intel guys but guys that give the decision on pulling the trig per there's a legal determination. wrapped around all of this, erin, is a discussion of collateral damage. that is who else is potentially going to be damaged or hurt as a result of this discussion or this strike. >> also the fact and people have laughed at this point, but to me it's very important. that is if you're going to have a conversation about whether it's okay to kill an american who happens to be overseas, who is plotting attacks against america, suppose that person was sitting in des moines or in washington, d.c., all of a sudden people go oh, that would be ridiculous. we would never do it. intellectually it's the same person plotting the same thing. we kill them overseas it's only consistent to be willing to do it on u.s. soil. >> why not. you are correct. go back to 1996 with timothy mcveigh and the great tragedy in oklahoma city. let's assume for a second that drone technology existed. it did not in sufficient

precision and detail back then. but let's assume intelligence was known about mcveigh, his rental truck was en route, we knew and positively identified he was in the vehicle, it was ready to explode and it was moving in the direction of the building. why wouldn't we have use ad drone to go after that thing in stead of putting a bunch of law enforcement folks at risk to stop that vehicle? it would have made perfect sense to use a drone. >> we'll leave everyone with that because it makes people think about that. public opinion is still against strikes on american soil but, again, there's an example and it would be intellectually consistent. the use of drones in the united states is not yet widespread or common just yet but there are cities across this country that are already testing the latest technology. grand forks, north dakota is one of them. and we got a behind-the-scenes look at the future of what drones will really do in this country. >> reporter: the icy plains of
