somebody has got to do it is programmed mostly with ideas from fans. so if you're a fan and you have an idea or if you know somebody who has to do it, go to mypro.com and tell me all about i it. this is cnn tonight, i'm don lemon. it is the interview everybody is still talking about. the cosby accuser will be back, and you will hear from her in just a moment. plus, more snow in buffalo, where they're all still digging out. and in ferguson, they're still waiting on the grand jury decision as police brace. we have a lot to get to. i want to take a moment to talk about my interview with joan

starsis, who accused bill cosby of assaulting her. as a victim myself, i mean no disrespect to anybody who comes forward to tell their stories. if my questions to her struck anyone as insensitive, i am sorry. that was not my intention. if we're going to be honest and have an honest show about this subject, some of these questions are going to be disturbing, because rape is a disturbing crime, not funny, also joining me, sunny hostin, legal analyst. joan, we certainly caused a stir with our interview last night. how are you doing? >> i'm doing fine, how are you doing? >> i'm doing very well. i think -- i think you know, maybe we got a little bit too friendly, so to speak, because we had been talking before the

show. so if i offended you, i don't think i did. you know i'm sorry for that. >> you did not offend me at all. and it was very casual. it was kind of like well, let's go have a cup of coffee and talk about what could have been happening. >> yeah. >> and -- >> so joan, listen, as i said i think that sometimes things are uncomfortable. you have to ask questions and i believe every journey should be able to ask questions even if those questions are uncomfortable. but i want to ask you about this, too, the power of social media. the impact of your story, of you coming forward and other welcomiwelcome i -- women coming forward. because last night, netflix postponed their cosby plans, tvland has postponed their schedule, what do you think of all of these new developments, joan? >> oh, do you want me to be

perfectly honest? >> yes, absolutely. >> well, to be dishonest would be to say gee, i'm really upset about it. but to be perfectly honest, i'm happy, i feel like justice has been served. it can't be served in the court of justice, but it is served in -- in the court of the national conglomerations. that keeping him in the public eye would do them no service. i was thinking of dropping netflix myself and just subscribing for two days when "house of cards" came on and then dropping it and not really watching nbc. >> joan, i have a lot to talk to you about. stand by, i want to conclude the questioning but i'll bring in my panelists. sunny hostin is here, and you

know his attorney has denied the allegations, janice dickinson's story is a lie, his attorney said. there is a glaring contradiction in what she is claiming now and what she told the media back in 2002. does he have any legal recourse, any form of defamation -- >> you know, i don't know that we've heard from bill cosby, we heard from his publicist, you just heard from his lawyers. i think joan is very brave. i think barbara bowman is very brave. we're hearing from women telling what i believe seems to be a story that sounds very much alike. i was drugged and i was raped. don, you know that you are my friend, i like you very much. but these women have opened themselves up to your questions, why didn't you fight back? and that is a question that a lot of them get asked a lot of

time. >> hold on, that is not what i asked her. we were talking about people who did -- i probably shouldn't say this, i do believe her story -- >> my point is, one of the questions to her and other women, your question and again, you're my friend, i say this with love. i think it was an inappropriate question, the question in my mind was why did you not fight him? why did you not fight back. that is a question that many, many rape victims get asked. it is victim blaming, i want to hear from bill cosby, because if these women are opening themselves up to public scrutiny then he should be doing the same thing. >> sunny, i appreciate what you're saying, i in no way was blaming the victim, i don't think joan thinks that. >> i don't think that was your intent. >> that was not my intention, i think you're right, these women

have opened themselves up to this. and i think that they should -- also they're very brave. and they come on and they're honest about it. we can talk about things. we should not be castigating each other. we should allow each other to make mistakes. you can't be judgmental about every single question, how does conversation evolve? >> i think that is true. i think that is why we should hear from bill cosby. >> to continue the conversation. >> we should hear from bill cosby, and silence in a lot of ways is an answer. >> you know, i've been playing phone tag with cosby's publicist, and no answer, he himself has had a chance to be interviewed. >> i was agreeing with you, actually. i'm the person that was addressed last night. and i would be the first person to feel if it was an offensive question.

and it was not. and i didn't feel that way. and i didn't feel like you were in any way blaming me. i know when i'm being blamed for something. that was the furthest thing from my mind last night. >> thank you, joan, for saying that. that was never my intention. >> thank you for saying that. brian, can we talk about the repercussions going through -- does anybody owe him any money? >> the premiere that was going to appear next week, not going to appear. the nbc development not going to be forward. and tonight all the old episodes of the cosby show have disappeared from the tvland schedule. it was a rather abrupt thing they did. tvland has wiped it off the schedule. just another sign of the corporate reaction to these stories. >> it is interesting, because joan's story happened 45 years ago, some of them happened 30

years ago. everybody is saying there is a rush to judgment. some people are saying -- joan, i have read accounts. you talked about your friend who you have been telling the story to for a while and have not backed down. my question to brian is, how does this affect him financially or brand-wise with bill cosby? >> well, he still does make millions from the cosby show. something like a netflix stand-up special, not as big a deal. a one-time thing helping to boost his brand broadly. but that nbc program could have been very lucrative for everybody involved. including bill cosby. and i believe he will be paid out in some way because nbc is not going on with the show. that is one of the strange details. if they walk away, they're probably going to have to pay you to walk away. >> what does he do in a situation like this, it is too

late because the train has left the station. i'm reading twitter and speaking to so many people like this, and by and large is why is he being so silent? no answer is an answer. >> okay, i know you addressed it with him. i would imagine that he is worried about financial retribution, and i don't know if he can. >> i don't know if he can -- >> could it be legal, not about past crimes but could somebody bring legal action if he were to acknowledge any misbehaving? >> i think he can come on television and talk about what he is dealing with. what he is going through, what it is like for his family. and he can say i don't want to address these allegations because i don't think that there is any truth to them. >> they lack merit. that is right. >> people want to see him and hear him talk. >> i'm just guessing, we're talking about a man who is 77 years old. maybe he is not all that comfortable in existing in this

2014 media -- >> that is really strange, he is doing stand-up. and has something going on in las vegas. he has clarity of mind. >> what you know sitting across the journalist, is doing a routine -- joan, i have to ask you, what would you like to hear, if anything, from bill cosby? >> what i would like to hear, i don't think i'm ever going to hear. what i really wanted to hear is really what is going on now. is the public poll where his -- his net worth in terms of the public is really bottoming out. i think people are really finally beginning to realize that all that glitters is not gold. and there may be another darker side to mr. cosby than they were led to believe all of these years. i don't think he can say anything to me. >> go ahead.

>> i don't, i mean -- well, i never heard any remorse in the times after each episode that we had together. each incident. and when he called after them i heard no remorse in his voice. so i think it would be disingenuous for him to all of a sudden apologize or say i'm sorry, i was wrong. i don't think the man has it in his nature. >> i think the singer we saw, marty singer is not just any attorney. he is a pit bull entertainment lawyer, he is the guy you hire when you believe you're being lied about. >> janice dickinson, we haven't heard from her. >> we haven't heard from her since she gave that interview. what is interesting, joan, correct me if i'm wrong. these women, the statute of limitations is wrong, you can't sue bill cosby at this point, so you're here to tell your story.

>> right, i have no intention of suing bill cosby. i turned down tabloid money. i'm not in -- i don't have a book deal in the works. i don't have a movie that i'm writing about it. no network has come and said let's do a movie of the week about you. i wouldn't be interested in that. >> then why hire marty singer, right? >> joan, thank you. we'll have some coffee, and we'll talk more. thank you very much. okay? >> thank you, don. >> all right. thanks to the rest of my guests, sunny, you will be back with us. when we come back, buffalo's storm is not finished with studethe city yet. and i will talk to the person stranded finally rescued today. plus, president obama is unveiling his immigration plan. he will do it tonight. republicans are furious. newt gingrich tells you why. and the ferguson grand jury could make its decision on

breaking news tonight, buffalo bracing for a one-two punch and brutal weather. on top of nearly six feet of snow. it buried much of the city yesterday. another two to three feet could fall tonight and tomorrow. goodness gracious. martin savidge back out in it for us this evening. and then we also have chad myers

-- with martin, excuse me, out in that weather. you got a look first at south buffalo today, the hardest hit areas. what did you see, martin? >> yeah, we saw a lot of stuff that looks like what we can show you right now. this is still south buffalo. not quite as bad as maybe a mile away from here, but take a look, the big dig these folks have been involved in. it took them all day to get the back side of the mini van unexposed. and then the vehicle here in the front, that was another effort. look, you try to walk through the front, this is the path to get to your door. this is -- again, this is not the hardest hit area, but the snow is just incredible. the city is bringing in another 150 snow plows from outside areas. the death toll unfortunately now stands at seven. they have made progress on the main thoroughfares. the national guard now is coming

out, they have begun as well as the contractors hauling more and more snow. they have to get it out of here, forget the plowing, they have to left it and haul it away. they're hard at work, but as you say more snow on the way. >> i'm pretty sure, marty, they burned their budget for the entire year. chad, the south suburbs, buffalo with six feet of snow. can't believe i'm saying that. the second wave is starting now. >> what are you expecting? >> it snows all night and doesn't stop until noon or 1:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon with 20 inches of snow. i know people want to go out there and dig out their cars, that is the first priority. lancaster, depugh, what you want to dies big out your fire hydrant, because if something happens on your street you don't want them to have to stop and work on it. west seneca, clinton street, i

know this area, i went to school there. i know this area quite well. it snowed 60 inches in one spot, and literally don, three miles away it snowed two inches because the snow stayed in the same spot the entire time. lake-effect snow, warm water, okay, it is relative, 43 degrees, a couple of days ago 47, eventually it will freeze, as soon as it freezes the lake-effect is over. for now, it is still coming down and will come down tonight. chee kt owage, here is where we are, the next storm system making snow in lake erie coming on shore in the next hour. i've even seen lightning, so thunder snow for a couple of hours. that is the heavy stuff. can you get four to five inches per hour, that is a lot of snow,

don. >> chad, thank you. also martin savidge, thank you, as well. and the women's basketball team, safe and sound. remember they talked to me last night a few hours before they were rescued by the state. here they are joining me now. >> joining me by skype, along with three of her players, she has a lot of players, we'll talk to tiffany corcelli, we love the rest of you guys, but we only have room for three. how are you doing? >> good. >> okay. great. all right, so you and the team are back home safe now after being stranded on the bus. 24 hours. and this record-breaking buffalo snow. and i spoke to you when you guys were all in the thick of it. so talk to me about what happened last night about being rescued. >> yeah, it was a relief. you know, as we were getting out

of the bus and on the atv vehicles, you know, really seeing the whole seen of what was happening, and how intense it was. it was -- we're blessed to not be in that anymore. it was really -- the storm was something you just can't explain unless you were in it. >> so val, when you finally saw the rescue people were you like thank goodness? >> yes, i was pretty relieved. luckily they could get us out and we were just worried about the other people that were stuck. and they wanted to make sure they were getting help, too. >> yeah, because they had been helping other people. they even helped to deliver a baby, one firefighter? what did you guys think of that, jamie? >> i think that is when they got of got more serious and felt it was actually real. they found people unconscious in the car, and that was when a baby was born. so things were really getting

out of hand. >> tiffany, in the cap there, you guys had heat and power and access to social media. were you aware of just how the storm was affecting people? >> yes, we could see a little bit out of our bus. but through social media, we kept upbeat from our family and friends. >> so guys, i want to play a little bit of the video that you saved just for our show. your wrap, here it is. >> one, two, three. on a bus. on a tuesday, ran out of water on a thursday. stopped on a bus, on a tuesday, hope we're not stuck on wednesday, stuck on a bus? on a tuesday. shout out to our family and friends, hey! >> so you guys made the best of that. i guess you had to do that. you had to make the best of it

in that situation, right? whoever wants to answer. >> yeah, that is where social media was a blessing. in that we could get -- we were really energized and had something to focus on. we could really feel prayers, love, thoughts from a lot of people. our family and friends, new friends that we surely have made. and it was really energizing for us. >> so coach, so many people are still dealing with this epic storm. you must be proud of your team but you must be thinking of others, as well. >> yeah, we were keeping tabs. it sounds like most people that were stuck in our area have been rescued. i talked to the bus driver this morning. he stayed back with the bus. and he got out late this morning. so i spoke with him. and certainly thanked him. and you know, just thinking about -- not just that stretch of interstate but you know all the people stuck in their homes. and we were thinking about them and certainly praying for them.

immigrants. and jay carney, cnn political commentator. thank you for joining us, guys, first to you, mr. newt gingrich. president obama will announce in prime time tomorrow night that he is taking executive action on immigration reform. this really puts him on a collision course with republicans. is the president going too far? >> well, the president on 22 different occasions is on videotape saying he does not have this authority. 22 times. i believe this will be the biggest mistake of his presidency. and remember, the country just voted against his policies two weeks ago by overwhelming numbers. the country has said in every poll that i have seen they don't want him to do this. and the brand-new elected congress has said do not do this. so this is probably the greatest arrogance of power we've seen certainly in modern times and will be an enormous mistake. >> so why is this different than

when president bush and reagan acted on immigration. >> there were two major differences, one was congress was in favor of implementing the act in 1986. and there was no objection to him doing it. the other is, there were two actions combined that affected ultimately 140,000 people. here you have the president in an opposite situation, the country and the congress is opposed and it could affect more than 5 million people. there is no comparison with the two events. >> do you agree with this, jay? >> i agree there is a different magnitude, but there are past precedents, and there are legal elements that indicate the president is able to do this and has authority to do this. there are risks associated with this. there is no question there will be a political confrontation with congress over it. i think there is a bigger risk with the president that would have come if he had gone back on

his word, asked pro-immigration reform advocates to be patient for a year and a half while he tried to get the congress to pass immigration reform. the senate passed it with a large majority. including republican senators. and then john boehner kept saying he wanted to move forward on it. but ultimately refused to do so. and the president said earlier this year that if that happened he would by the end of the year act with his executive authority. it puts him in a -- you know, a direct confrontation with this congress but i think it would have been worse for him politically and certainly worse for those 5 million people if he had not acted at all. >> but clearly, he is giving this during prime time. i just want to put the polls up because according to an nbc wall street journal poll, 43% oppose president obama taking executive action while 38% support it. still, it is not exactly the will of the people. i want you to listen to what the president said, this was just

this last february. >> i am the president of the united states. i'm not the emperor of the united states. my job is to execute laws that are passed. and congress, right now, has not changed what i consider to be a broken immigration system. >> so the question is, by going on prime time is he really reaching the people that he needs to reach in order to come up with a sort of compromise -- and before you guys answer this, let me just read this. the reason i ask, this statement is from house speaker john boehner's office. if emperor obama ignores the american people and announces an amnesty plan that he has said over and over again exceeds his constitutional authority he will exceed his legacy of lawlessness and ruin his chances -- >> you know, don, this kind of

hyperbolic rhetoric, first of all the president is not changing the law but is issuing executive authority that will grant help to the undocumented people in this country, building on to the dreamers. what he said in the white house, he didn't have the authority as president because he is not an emperor or a king to change the law permanently. only congress can do that. he said earlier during the mid-terms that as soon as congress is willing to act and acts in a comprehensive way for the immigration system it will do away with the executive order. >> and newt is shaking his head. >> this violates every base of the american constitution, if you read hamilton's paper in 1869, he goes to great length to distinguish king george's power from the united states. item after item, he says the king is absolute. the president is under the law.

this president said earlier this year he is not an emperor, now tomorrow night he is going to announce he is an emperor. this is an enormously huge step, because if he can redefine -- >> newt all you did was restate the rhetoric -- if this goes to the courts, this has the legal authority n authority. >> jay, speaking of hyperbole, i want you to listen to this. >> they were going to go nuts because they're going to see it as a move outside of the authority of the president. and it is going to be a very dangerous situation. you're going to see hopefully not, but you could see instances of anarchy. >> what do you mean? >> well, you could see violence. you know, this is a big step. >> that was an interview with usa today, do you think there will be anarchy if the president

acts on immigration? >> i think if you break the rule of law and you violate the constitutional system and you say to the american people, your opinion doesn't matter. the congress you elect doesn't matter. i'm the king, i can do what i want to, you are breaking down a lot of barriers and i think it is -- this is the most dangerous thing i have seen an american president do probably since buch a nan failed to defend the constitution. >> in all honesty is stoking the people's anger, it is fully within the president's power to change the law as the american people want to be done and be good for our economy and that would end the need for executive action as a temporary measure. >> as concisely as possible, newt, are the republicans ready to shut down the government -- >> not in the short run. >> why not, if this is the worse

thing since buchanan, why not? >> because you guy news ts in ta would promptly focus on what the republicans were doing -- >> now's all of a sudden -- >> i guess in the end it is about politics? >> no, in the end it is about dealing with a president who is changing the constitution -- >> you guys are in the media. >> i'm not in the media. >> okay. thank you. thanks, newt gingrich, thank you jay carney, i appreciate it. all right, make sure you stay with cnn for live coverage of the president's address to the nation right here at 8 p.m. on cnn. we have word today that the decision in the michael brown case may be imminent. new information just ahead.

the teaching lab of john jay college and spoke with the forensic scientist using information from the autopsy performed by the st. louis medical examiner, and a second autopsy requested by the brown family and performed by dr. michael baden. koblinski shows us where the shots that were fired hit brown, and what we can learn from it. >> doctor, can you show us how many wounds there were? >> it looks like there were at least seven shots, perhaps eight. a grazing wound to the right palm near the right thumb. a wound to the forearm, which has both exit and entrance features. there is a grazing wound to the right bicep, a wound to the upper right arm. two shots to the chest. one to the right forehead. the so-called kill shot which

entered at the very top of the crown of the skull. >> this is the first shot because there was a struggle described in the car between michael brown and officer wilson? >> it is consistent with the struggle. what we can say is that hand was very close to the gun when it went off. >> and there appears to be material which is likely gun residue? >> that is correct. >> can you tell from what you have seen so far how far away officer wilson was from michael brown? >> not from autopsy results. what you look for is a gunshot residue pattern. beyond 18 inches a gunshot leaves no residue pattern. >> so you can't tell? >> even if you had the clothing you would not see anything. >> so many witness accounts differ. were his hands up in surrender? were they coming down? >> in surrender, i would expect the entrance wound to be on what we call the ventral surface, the inner aspect of the arm.

that is not what we see here. we see the exit wound on the surface. that is demonstrated right here. the entrance wound is on the back surface of the arm. so the entrance wound is actually here, which is not what you would expect. people don't surrender like that. that would be the entrance wound. so -- >> would there be another explanation? >> well, the explanation is when that shot hit mr. brown, the arms were down. when it comes to the arm it could be up and flailing or rotating. it could take on an infinite number of positions. so we have to be careful making statements about trajectories. and i think that brings us to the upper arm. i certainly don't feel comfortable stating that that is an indicator of hands up or hands down. of the three autopsies, i think they would certainly all agree on the position of the trauma. the wounds to the body. i think how they got there is a matter of opinion.

in other words, was michael brown running toward the car, police officer wilson. was he falling? was he surrendering? was he not surrendering? all of these are part of the reconstruction. >> thank you susan. and thank you dr. kobilinsky. sunny hostin is back with me, and we'll await the grand jury decision, sources tell us the panel will meet on friday and that could be the final decision on whether to indict officer darren wilson in the shooting death of michael brown could come the same day. so sunny i wanted to get that out of the way before i got back to you. dr. kobilinsky, you heard what he said and michael badden, and what others said, if they can't come to a consensus, how does a group of lay people do that? >> that is what is so bizarre about the process. from the beginning, i said it

was very strange. if a prosecutor wants an indictment, they don't throw every piece of evidence in front of the grand jury that will be the evidence that is inadmissible at trial. and just say have at it. i have just never seen anything like it. if you have all of this different evidence how do you expect them to come to a joint conclusion? remember, we need nine out of the 12 to have an excitemenindi. that is the first thing that is strange to me, secondly, we're hearing they could come up with a decision on that day. how is that possible? >> they want to hear more evidence on friday. and they said a decision could come as early as friday. not that it is going to come on friday, but it could be as early as friday. why might they be just listening to more evidence because we had heard from the last witness, remember, baden testified --

>> we at least now know this grand jury is a very active grand jury. right? they requested dr. baden's testimony. and that is very interesting. because it usually is the prosecutor's show. now this time, the grand jury said okay, mr. prosecutor, i have heard everything you had to say. i really want to hear more. and grand juries that are very active sometimes do that. so that is interesting, and perhaps they want to hear more information. but don, if they want to hear more information and they get more information on friday, if it is true that they have heard hundreds of hours of evidence, how is it possible that they could then get more evidence on friday and come back with -- that just doesn't make sense? >> but they're not sequestered? >> as far as i know. any prosecutor presenting a high profile case in front of the grand jury should be advising the jurors not to watch television that is covering this. i hope not, i hope not. but again, this is so bizarre.

we've never seen anything like this. i don't care who sits across from you, don, and tells you that in police shootings this is how a grand jury is conducted, that is a lie. that is not true. i have never seen anything like this before. >> okay, so here is what i just quickly am up against the clock here. they are from the community? >> yes. >> will that influence them and oh, maybe i don't want unrest here, or what the evidence may be, will that influence them? >> well, we hope not. and certainly they have been instructed to follow their common sense, listen to the evidence and come up with a fair decision. hopefully they're not watching you and me and -- and the coverage. >> right. thank you for staying up late. >> no problem, no problem. >> thank you, i appreciate our conversations, we go back and forth. >> we do, but we love each other. it is all in love. >> all right, coming up, a remarkable story, from homeless to harvard. his thoughts on the value of a

he refused to join the gang, so the gang members destroyed his family home, his mother

couldn't afford a new house and on occasion david had to sleep on park benches. that might have led many to a life of crime, time in jail and hard drugs, but it led david to harvard. and understandably, he has strong opinions about the value of a college education. here he is in the cnn film, "ivory tower" which premieres tomorrow. >> before i came here, i didn't have a bed, i came into my dorm and jumped on the bed. that is something that meant a lot to me. it is a real blessing just being here alone has already changed my family dynamic. >> i always told him, in order for us to get ahead as a family each generation has to do better than the next. >> joining me now is harvard student david boone. so proud of you, thank you for coming on, david, how are you doing? >> i'm good, thank you for having me, don. >> great, great, great.

that clip was from the cnn film, ivory tower, you're a junior at harvard, studying computer science. however, you're not a typical harvard student. you had a rough upbringing in cleveland, your family was actually homeless before you got to harvard, how did you do it? how did you get to harvard from being homeless? >> to be honest, it was a situation where i was living day to day. i didn't feel like i was in a very tough situation because where i'm from, this is not entirely uncommon. a lot of students end up in a tough position as far as not having a home, being put out of their home, whatever the case may be. they have to make decisions. i was fortunate enough to have the support of my family and people at school that told me it was worth working hard for to try and get out of cleveland. an idea that was foreign to a lot of my classmates but was very common and understood for me. >> you know, the film is very interesting. i want wait to see the film, the entire thing of you there.

what has been the biggest challenge for you as it comes through? because when you're going to harvard, many times you're going to school with people who are very financially stable, wealthy, what has been the biggest hurdle for you? >> i got to say the biggest hurdle has been going back home and having to see the things that have not actually changed. it is very idealistic to think about coming to harvard and solving all the problems that i had in the past. that is not true. i still have to deal with the fact that my older sister didn't go to college and has children and has financial issues. along with my mother, who i am one of five. and so we have a lot of issues. and we're still trying to be as helpful as i can. and also focus on my studies can be extremely difficult. i have to say that is probably the hardest thing, is just trying to be helpful at home and trying to be a great student at the same time. >> well, let me tell you, you can do it.

we're very proud of you. you're an amazing example of what can be possible if you dedicate yourself to a goal. do you believe that other whose don't have the money or opportunity to go to college can still achieve success? because many people say you don't need college. >> i am a firm believer that college is not the route for everybody. but failing to plan is planning to fail. so if you're not going to college you need to have a plan, you need to have something to deliver on. the value of college for me, i get to find what i love and chase it and do it for the rest of my life. and i'll be happy do it. that is the space where i get to find that thing. for other people it may be some other opportunity to find what they love. and they will continue to do that. >> david, go out and conquer the world. we're very proud of you. thank you very much. >> thanks, don. all right, cnn's film, ivory tower, premieres tomorrow night. and when we come back, bill
