7:00 pm
dying in syria. >> it's obviously a lot different than they see in the propaganda videos. we're out of time. we appreciate you talking to us. i want to thank all of our panelists tonight pop that dus it for this special edition of "360." cnn tonight starts now. you just saw 360 special report the isis threat. but you may be surprised to see what has some people really outraged when it comes to isis. this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon and we want to know what you think of this. >> looks like your ride is here. you be careful, okay? >> dad, it's just isis. >> efb is laughing about that sketch from saturday night live. it's more shocking to a lot of people than anything dakota johnson does in 50 shades of grey. but why shouldn't isis be fair
7:01 pm
game for jokes. are there just some things you can't say? who gets to decide that? i'm going to talk to two men who couldn't disagree more. los angeles police shoot and kill a homeless man that they say tried to grab an officer's gun. is this case as simple as it looks? benjamin netanyahu is speaking to congress tomorrow when president obama likes it or not. what does the israeli prime minister really want and will he get it? we're going to get into haul of that tonight. but i want to begin with a deeply divided relationship between america and israel. things are pretty chilly right now and the white house is trying to get out in front of prime minister netanyahu's speech tomorrow. our correspondent ma sell l kosinski is here.
7:02 pm
they both express that prime minister netanyahu would divulge sensitive information in his speech tomorrow. is there a reason to be concerned? >> reporter: there's a lot of concern on capitol hill about this. it seems like someone in the israeli delegation has been putting out the teasers that we're going to hear something tomorrow that we have not heard before. what's interesting is over the past couple of days we've heard some sensitive information come out. and the white house has implied that it was coming from the israelis leaking or as the white house put it cherry picking certain sensitive information. the last time it was about the u.s. and other negotiators looking for a ten-year plan in the deal with iran. and at the time when the white house was asked about that specifically they said no that's not really accurate. but now it turns out it does seem to be accurate based on what president obama said about the negotiations today. so no one really knows at this point what netanyahu could let fly in terms of sensitive
7:03 pm
information. but the concern is absolutely there, don. >> what would the national security adviser have to say about working out a deal with iran? >> reporter: she was the one who a few days ago was the first in the administration to really acknowledge the tension that was there between these two countries right now. i mean not in a deeper sense, but at least between the two leaders. and the awkwardness of the situation. i mean you know when the invite came from republicans in the house, the white house wasn't even notified. she spent a good 20 minutes at the top of her speech today laying out how strong the relationship is first, kind of walking back her comments in the past couple of days where she said that partisanship is destructive to the fabric of this relationship. but then she explained the negotiating position some of the things that the u.s. and other allies want to see from iran as well as being reassuring. here's some of what she said.
7:04 pm
>> now i want to be very clear. a bad deal is worse than no deal. and if that is the choice there will be no deal. >> she also addressed head on some of the israeli's biggest fears here and some of their desires in a deal with iran if there would be one, things like why not make this an indefinite length of time for a deal for them to comply. why not just sanction them and walk away. but she faced all of those saying well taking steps that extreme would be steps toward no deal at all. but remember we did hear from president obama tonight saying that right now it's more likely than not, given the west demands that iran say no to a deal at this point, don. >> the president also speaking out today about the tensions with this crucial ally michelle? >> reporter: right. he too, wanted to first lay out
7:05 pm
the strength of the relationship at its core all of the shared values unprecedented sharing of intelligence and military that kind of cooperation. but he also stressed that there is this sub substantial disagreement. here's what he said the israelis are looking for. >> prime minister netanyahu thinks that the best way to do that is either through doubling down on more sanctions or through military action ensuring that iran has absolutely no enrichment capabilities whatsoever. >> reporter: it was interesting to hear him say for the first time that netanyahu's coming here at this point so close to his election is a mistake, but he called it merely a distraction in this strong relationship overall, don. >> michelle kosinski thank you very muff. i want to bring in fa reeds zakaria. i'd like to start with you and ask you about, the president
7:06 pm
is -- netanyahu is expected to criticize the president tomorrow in his speech, which is about getting a deal. which is a bigger threat right now, iran or isis? >> oh you know they're very different in nature. the threat from iran is the threat of a major country that would acquire significant capacity and have the ability to dominate. let's remember iran does not have a nuclear weapon. it does not have a clear path to a nuclear weapon. people have been saying for 10 or 15 years now that iran is one year away from a nuclear weapon. >> some people say they're months away. what is the exact figure? >> i've been briefed by intelligence officials and for ten years they've been telling me they're one year away from a nuclear weapon. isis is a more immediate threat. you've got to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. i think it's fair to say that the united states is certainly
7:07 pm
trying to make sure that the danger of a nuclear armed iran is minimized as much as you can, given that -- this is something that people forget. iran is a very big country, very rich comparatively speaking. 50 to $60 billion of oil revenues. and nuclear technology is now 70 years old. this is not the cutting edge stuff. >> what about iran helping us fight isis. you said it's a rich country with large assets. >> the reports are that iran's commander of the forces has been involved in the planning and the operations to retake takrit. it's clear that isis is a joint enemy. i don't think that there are, you know any communications between the two. but inevitably there san overlap in interest both in iraq and also in afghanistan where they don't like the
7:08 pm
taliban. so in a very odd way, if there were a strategic between the united states and the iran all of the sudden it's possible that things on the ground from iraq to syria to afghanistan might get a bit easier. >> isis rules oef an area that's larger than the united kingdom. how do we go about, how should the united states and the allies go about fighting these extremists. that's a big area to rule over. >> much of it is desert. this is a part of the world in which the towns are on the rivers. it sound very glamorous to talk about the swaths of territory. it's all desert. the way you fight them fundamentally is you have to get the locals to fight them. this will not work. >> is this a war for muslim to fight in. >> and it's for the iraqis. mosul is a city of 1.2, 1.3 million people. there are 2,000 isis fighters
7:09 pm
there. they can't hold mosul without the fact that the locals are supporting it because they don't like the shiite government in baghdad. so they've got to get the local politics right or else you send all of the american troops in the world and it won't make a difference. >> you spoke to king abdullah of jordan about this. let's listen. >> i've said this to leaders both in islamic and arab world and to the world in general, this is a third world war by other means. this brings muslims, christians other religions together in this generational fight that all of us have to be together. it's not a western fight. >> does the arab world want the united states to get involved in. >> i think king abdullah's view he's weary of that. he knows that that would be a great advertisement for isis for the islamic state. they would say come we're fighting the americans. that's what they want.
7:10 pm
that's why thigh ear doing the videos. that's why they take the christian. it's all meant as bait to draw the west in. otherwise, there are local organizations that's trying to battle the local shiites. but they want to be something much bigger. my own view is you don't want to play their game you quantity to play our game. >> back to netanyahu, what are we going to hear tomorrow in. >> i think we're going to hear a tough uncompromising view on iran. which is essentially a position that -- if you were to take benjamin netanyahu's negotiating position with there isn't a ghost of a chance for a deal. the nuclear program in iran was started at the prodding of the united states of america. so iranian nationalism is tied into this. his line which is zero enrichment as we understand it is something i can't imagine any
7:11 pm
iranian would go for. >> i want to turn down to nicolas christoph. i'm going to ask you the same thing, what do you think is the bigger threat isis or iran? >> they are hard to compare in the sense that right now in syria you've had more than 200,000 people killed, 3 million refugees refugees. syria is essentially a failed state. iran right now people aren't dying. there is the potential of a real controversy. and if iran gets nuclear weapons, then saudi arabia may get them as well. if there isn't a deal, we may have fighting that would have kra mattic consequences worldwide. and then there's north korea which is a greater nuclear threat than iran. >> benjamin netanyahu spoke to a pro-israeli group in d.c. this is what he said to say about iran. let's watch and then we'll talk. okay. when you get it let me know please. a poll of americans published in
7:12 pm
december here's what he found. it found that 51% of republicans want to united states to lean forward, you know with israel on israel, but only 17% of democrats agree. why did the support go from a bipartisan issue and then became a republican issue. >> i think it's fascinating that netanyahu has taken this strong bipartisan relationship between two countries and turned it into a relationship between the republican party. the upshot is that increasingly because of netanyahu's hardline policies the upshot is that the strongest base of support for the israeli government is not american jews but evangelicals. >> here's benjamin netanyahu. listen. >> i plan to speak about an iranian regime that is threatening to destroy israel
7:13 pm
that's devouring country after country in the middle east that's exporting terror throughout the world and that is developing as we speak, the capacity to make nuclear weapons, lots of them. >> so if everyone is divided -- he has a right to be concerned about iran right? >> absolutely. >> does this do any good for israel or america? no one. >> netanyahu is going to make -- there are valid criticisms he made of what appears to be the emerging deal with iran. and there are legitimate concerns. netanyahu is a very flawed messenger partly because he objected to the earlier deal and partly because he doesn't offer an alternative. if we do no go ahead with a deal do we want a military solution? do we want iran to go back to enriching up to 20% and more? so certainly's very valid to
7:14 pm
have objection to the proposed nuclear deal. i'm not sure that netanyahu is the one to make it. and he does add the polarizing partianship to everything he does. >> do you think that congress, everyone should attend the speech? >> i think i would certainly be -- i think the idea of staying away -- seems to me they may as well go and listen to a foreign leader. but i do object to the way, when you have netanyahu speaking everybody wants to jump up and applaud every minute wildly like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. it's a little bit overdone. >> this is a very bad precedent. but the idea that when the opposing party for the president controls the congress that they would invite a chief critic of the president's foreign policy i think the washington post made
7:15 pm
a wonderful post. what if it would have been that the democrats invited the french official to come and bash bush before the war. it's a terrible precedent that john boehner has set and it will -- i hope it will not be taken -- >> can him coming here to speak, can it backfire? >> in some ways it already has. you know this relationship is tenuous and within israel there's growing krit stichl of netanyahu that makes it all the stranger that the american politicians are embracing him. we've got a lot more on the story to come. fears that prime minister netanyahu may disclose sensitive information in his speech tomorrow. would he really do that. plus the snl sketch that has a lot of people up in arms. but if you don't laugh at this
7:16 pm
do the terrorists win? >> looks like your ride is here. you be careful, okay? >> dad, it's just isis. tripadvisor not only has millions of real traveler's reviews and opinions

7:18 pm
7:19 pm
israel's prime minister now just hours away from addressing congress. the white house expressing concern that netanyahu will discuss sensitive details. joined now by a professor of law at harvard university and the author of "terror troubles." good evening. secretary of state john kerry expressed concern that prime minister netanyahu would divulge sensitive information during his speech tomorrow. you have a close relationship with the prime minister. doing he'll give away classified information? >> of course not. he knows how to keep a secret.
7:20 pm
what they're worried about in the administration is he'll make an effective case against the deal. if he were coming here to favor the deal the white house would be thrilled even if it was the day before the election. the protocol issue is not nearbily as important as the substantive issue. this is the most important foreign policy decision of the 20th century. every congress should come and listen with open ears and an open mind to what the prime minister has to say. i would invite my friend jeremy to urge the congressmen who are staying away 70% of whom were supported by jay street to come and listen and then they can disagree after they've heard both sides of the issue. jeremy will you urge the congressmen that you supported to come and listen? >> well you know i don't think that it's my place to tell them what to do. each of them is going to make up their own mind. the issue here is what is the bets approach to preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
7:21 pm
and that's the discussion we need the to be having. the question of who goes to the speech and who doesn't is really secondary. the question is has the prime minister found the right timing for the speech. has he found the right venue. is this the way to make his case. in fact i would agree with nick christoph that in a way he's set back his own cause. but the people he's trying to convince of his argument against the state of israel are the people he's irritated enough that they're not going to shoup and be open to what he has to say. >> is it as alan says the fear here is they might make a compelling case rather than it's an election and they're concerned he should not be here before an election? >> i don't think there's a member of congress that actually isn't familiar with the case that the prime minister is trying to make. it's been pretty well covered and documented. he's a frequent guest on the sunday talk shows. he's had plenty of meetings with members of congress and the senate. there's more than enough contact
7:22 pm
with his team and the folks on the hill. this isn't his only unique opportunity to make the case and i don't think that's what the speech is all about. >> i think this is an opportunity to do it at this point in time. what i'm worried about is the administration is saying it's too early. we don't know enough about the deal. but as soon as the keel is made they're going the say it's too late. there has to be an opportunity for there to be a great debate. congress has the full authority on the constitution as the coequal branch of the government to disagree with attorney policy decisions. that's why i disagree with what was said in your earlier segment by another guest who when he said it was a terrible precedent. >> fareed za kara. >> it's a great precedent. i wished it happened more often. i wish more congress people would invite people who disagree with the administration. that's what our system of checks and balances is all about. congress should hear opposing points of view --
7:23 pm
>> isn't there a certain protocol that you mous take especially when yub oar dealing with sensitive issues like foreign policy in. >> does the white house check first with the speaker of the house before they invite somebody to a state visit. >> the person in the white house is the leader of the free world -- >> no. >> hang on let me finish. sensitive information that many people may not have access to. >> well that's exactly what's wrong. the president is not the leader of the free world. the united states is the leader of the free world and the united states government is divided between coequal branches. congress has as much power. congress was elected more recently. it may have a greater mandate. the idea that the president makes decisions on foreign policy without being checked and balanced by congress is a mistake of constitutional dimensions. we have to make sure we undo that mistake and that congress has full authority to check and balance and criticize presidential deals. >> go ahead. >> i do think there was a tradition of politics stopping at the water's edge.
7:24 pm
and there was something to that that these kinds of disagreements are well and good. but when i comes to foreign policy we do speak with one voice. and i think all of this required was some coordination between the speaker and the ambassador of israel and the white house to figure out how to do this and when to do it and do anytime a way that can't inject even if it's just the appearance of partisan agendas in the middle of the. you don't have the discussion of the deal that alan wants to be. >> let's have that discussion. remember we don't speak with one voice. senator menendez a liberal democrat is very questionable about this deal. the washington post is very concerned about this deal. david brooks of the "the new york times" is concerned about this deal. the saudis are concerned about this deal. let's have a great debate. every congressman go and listen to the prime minister of israel then make up your mind. but don't make up your mind before you've listened to an important voice on this issue.
7:25 pm
this's what i just urge -- >> and they do listen. i also think it's important that we actually see what the deal is going to be. i don't think it's too late once there's a deal to actually debate the merits of the deal. the white house is saying we're going to take the toughest possible stand that we can, get the maximum amount of concessions that we can't. we can't talk about the sensitive negotiations going on right now. let's see where they end up let's have the debate. this is so important and such a sensitive matter. >> we're having a debate right here. they should have it in washington as well. these going to have to be the last word. a deadly police shooting in los angeles. police say a man was killed after reaching for an officer's gun. a witness caught the violent confrontation on camera. i'm going to talk to him next. i already feel like we're the most connected but i think this solo date will seal the deal. sure! i offer multi-car, safe driver, and so many other discounts

a los angeles police department defending officers who sht and killed a man following a violent street confrontation.
7:30 pm
the incident was caught on camera as you can see and we're showing it to you. but the video may be disturbing to some viewers. >> this is how the fatal confrontation ends captured by anthony blackburn on his cell phone. >> i heard officers saying he's going for my gun. that's when the officers backed up and five shots range out. >> but we're learning how this unfolded unfolded. video from an overhead security camera obtained by cnn and seen for the first time today reveals a complex picture. the surveillance video show as man dealing drugs from his tent. he gets in a fight with a man in the orange tent next to him violently tipping the tent and kicking the man. about 25 minutes pass on the video before a number of officers arrive. at first they talk kaunlly to
7:31 pm
africa. when he dives into his tent officers draw their weapons. about 30 seconds later, africa comous swinging at police. on anthony blackburn's video you can hear the sound as officers use the tasers which police say doesn't subdue him. you then hear an officer saying africa is reaching for his gun. homeless africa died on the sidewalk joutd a shlter. union rescue missions andy bales doesn't blame the lapd who in a news conference showed pictures of the officer's gun, proof shows a struggle over the weapon. the chief of police say the officers did all they could given the circumstances. >> the reality is this is much more than a problem that the police alone can solve. >> two of the police officers were wearing body cameras. that video was not released yet. the police chief here in los angeles saying that that video will eventually be released once
7:32 pm
the probe is complete. but something we should point out is that those officers wrs wearing the body cameras as part of a pilot program here in los angeles. the mayor of the city pledges that eventually every single office near this city about 7,000 of them will eventually be wearing the body cameras. >> thank you. and anthony blackburn witnesses the shooting and was in the report. he joins us now. we don't have the body camera video but you got it from the very beginning. anthony, you were there. what did you see? >> what i saw, you know what everybody saw on the video, you know the officer shot him with the taser once then shot him with the taser the second time. you can hear them pulling the trigger on the taser and electricity going through his body. and once he fell to the ground and the officers i thought they was just going to handcuff him.
7:33 pm
and once you know i heard the officer screaming saying he's going for my gun, and i just heard the -- you know i just witnessed right there in the front of my face, the gun shots range out. >> did you see the man go for the officer's gun as the officer said? >> no i didn't actually see the man going for the officer's gun because it was so many officers around him. i didn't see that. you know that probably was another side view or something like that. i didn't see that from my actual angle. >> what got your attention? why did you start filming in the first place? >> what got my attention is that you know they was ready to -- well they had already had he pause right there because they i guess, apparently they were pursuing a suspect. so i stopped. and once they said they was going to tase him, i just took out my phone and started filming. >> we can hear in the
7:34 pm
background after the altercation happened and you see them putting up the police tape that there are people screaming at the officers. sounds like a mob, a whole horde of people. how many people were out there and what were they saying to the officers? what happened? >> profanity was ringing out. they was like you killed that man. you just killed that man, you know. and you know, the man just -- i watched the man take his last breath right there. you know he was dead. >> anthony blackburn, thank you. >> yes, sir. up next i'm going to ask two former police officers what they see when they look at the video of the deadly confrontation. also ahead, "saturday night live" did they cross a line with a commercial. a dad drops off his daughter not to join the army but to join this. you'll see. >> take care of her.

7:39 pm
fatal police shooting in los angeles, caught on camera and the video is disturbing. but what can we learn from watching it? joining me now is kneel franklin and tom burn any. tom, you first. you heard from any last guest, he talked about the same questions arise every time there's a police-involved shooting. why couldn't they have shot this guy in the leg or so that he became immobile rather than killing him? >> i think the odds of shooting him in the leg would probably be the odds of someone shooting the last standing hair on my head. in an ideal situation you would like to shoot someone in the kneecap and disable them. but quite frankly police officers are trained to shoot in center mass which is to stop the threat of whatever is occurring at the time and that's predominant across the police
7:40 pm
departments in the united states. >> neil the police commissioner saying that the threat was they believe the suspect was going for the police officer's gun. the man wasn't armed. but what was your reaction when you heard that? >> yeah. obviously he was not armed so the only thing that i thought of was that he was going for the officer's gun or at least the officer thought he was going for his gun. i hate to be in this position of monday morning quarterbacking. in generally speaking to this we have a long way to go with training. we had four officers trying to subdue this particular individual who obviously had some mental health issues. in corrections we train our corrections folk to subdue people and how to collectively take down someone and restrain them. it was very problematic in this scene, asaw two officers trying to subdue trying to restrain and two were kind of standing up just kind of like reaching for
7:41 pm
the gentleman's legs. we need to do better training. this happens quite a bit. >> i'm sure you agree that we could always use more training. but four officer to take one person down that's not unusual is it? >> no. i was in situations where we had six or eight officers trying to take down someone half the size of myself and i'm not that big of a guy. >> whenever we have people say he tried to grabbed the officer's gun, you should comply with a police officer, what do you make of that assessment? if he had never resisted or gone for the officer's gun, this would not have happened. >> yeah. well we've seen this play out in other incidents that's occurred within the last year that have been pretty newsworthy. people are not complying with the police. that's one issue. here you have someone who may have mental health issues. whenever you're dealing with someone with mental health issues you're dealing with a set of circumstances that's
7:42 pm
completely unpredictable. during the process of the institutionization that's occurred you have a number of people out on the street that possibly some of them should be locked up into some long term care. but they're out on the street because at some point a decision was made that their issues could be handled. >> does the location of the call impact the officer's mine set. you heard neill say, we call this skid row. he had a mental health issue. does that affect -- where it happens? >> anytime you can respond to a location a homeless shelter or skid row like this. i've been through l.a. and i've seen this area you're definitely going the take extra fre cautions knowing that very likely one or more people you're going to be dealing with are going to have some sort of mental illness that may or may not be treated at that time. in accordance with my experience, you have people who
7:43 pm
have a mental illness, they're using alcohol or drugs, now they're really amped up. >> i want to talk to you about body cameras. los angeles wants them now, every officer to have one. there are several officers who had the interment tall ones that they're working on. is that going to make a difference in this case? we have it on video from the gentleman you saw earlier. will this make a difference? >> it's possible that it will if two officers were wearing body cams. you're going to great a different perspective. and hopefully the way they're positioned on the ausers will give you the police officer's view of what was going on. one thing i fear is that they're in such close proximity to the person they're trying to apprehend, i'm wondering how clear h the pictures will be. hopefully they'll get a different perspective so we can see the perspective from the police officers themselves. >> let's talk about the aftermath that happened there. when they were putting up the
7:44 pm
police tape one of the officers who is black, was being screamed at. let's listen to this. >> that's the one that killed him right there. [ bleep ]. the black killed [ bleep ]. the black [ bleep ] killed him right there. [ bleep ]. that [ bleep ]. he killed [ bleep ]. >> he killed him. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. >> can you back up? can you back up? [ bleep ]. >> okay so we hear that. that's being directed at a black officer, neill. they're calling him uncle took a sellout and all kind of other vile things. are we getting to a point in the country where if a whies officer shoots a black suspect he's a racist if a black officer
7:45 pm
shoots a suspect he's a sellout. >> we're already to that point. we've been there a while with the number of police killings that we've unfortunately had over the past few months and years in this country. just think about john crawford in a walmart in ohio tamir rice who was the young teenager in the park with the pellet gun. and you know where i believe the officers came in too fast too close. you know it's case after case after case and people are frustrated. so yeah you're going to have people shouting various things such as what you saw in the video. it's very unfort naught. we have to get on top of this asap. >> this is nothing really anything too new for those of us who have been in law enforcement for any period of time. i've worked with a number of black officers over the years and at all kinds of different demonstrationings we would be at i would catch some heat
7:46 pm
being the white officer in the black community. but then the officers standing next to me who were black, they would catch as much heat if not more than i was. >> you said it's worse for black officers? >> in some occasions i've seen it be as bad or worse for a black officer than it would be for a white officer. >> why is that? >> there are some people who really believe that the officers if they are of the same race that they feel they're a sellout in some way, they've sold out their own race by working for the police department which they feel is just kind of trampling all over them. >> neill, last word. >> i just want the say from an int accident the management standpoint those officers that were directly involved in that shooting in any shooting when other officers come on the scene, they should be removed from dealing with the public. i think they eventually got to it but not soon enough. >> thank you very much. >> anytime. saturday night live takes on

sad night live this weekend, you hissed a sketch that had some people up in arms. dakota johnson stars as snl takes on isis. take a look. >> well this is it. you need any help with your bag? >> no that's all right. i got it. >> how about some walking around money. >> dad, it's okay. >> okay. just make sure to -- >> call you when i get there. i know. >> yeah. you know you could stay home, do another year of high school. >> very funny, dad. jokester. >> see you at thanksgiving. >> yeah i'll see you. hey, dad? >> yeah.

7:53 pm
sooef the director of the studies at the heritage foundation. everyone laughed here in the studio. by the way, that was the star from "fifty shades of grey," right? is it too soon? >> absolutely not. we should be mocking isis more than that. i'm not saying that as an comedian. i wrote an article in the daily beast how muslim comedians in iraq and lebanon are making fun of isis using youtube and the tv the reason why they want to use their skill set to give people a sense of a ka thardic release. they want them laughing at these people. we know that people in isis don't like that. we should be mocking them as much as possible. >> stephen, i don't think you agree with that. you tweeted this saying snl isis skit draw as moral
7:54 pm
equivalent between ie lis murderers and the u.s. military. that is wrong. >> well first i want to say, don, you know i'm in favor of mocking isis. i think that would be wonderful. we should do it to the fullest extent. i don't think this particular skit did that. i think isis would have looked at it and said great, this is like a commercial for us. this is exactly what we want you westerners to do. give us your daughters and we'll take them and do something with them. >> some will say you're taking it too literally. >> maybe so. i also and my comment in the tweet had to do with the fact that the commercial that they're spoofing had to do with a daughter going off with the american military. and here she's going off with isis. you're drawing a moral equivalence there which i have a big problem with in this case. >> it's actually a parody for a toyota camera commercial which uses the u.s. military to try to sell more cars. shouldn't we be laughing at these people? look at mel brooks and the
7:55 pm
producers had hitler got a lot of pushback for that. i wrote an article kweeting him that this is so important that we laughed at this monster. it takes their pow ir away. >> what about the families who are dealing with loved ones who are going off in these horrific situations? >> mocking isis on one level but mocking people that would be taken in by the sales pitch of isis. it's a red meat sales pitch. we should mock them. wake them up. do not get suck into isis. >> if we pull back on satire, isn't that taking away freedom of speech? >> absolutely. they have a perfect right to do this. i thought it was crappy satire. >> he didn't like the joke. you agree sometimes a joke is just a joke steve, right? >> of course. and as i said i think we should satirize these guys with we should mock them.
7:56 pm
i thought one was poorly done and could be taken the wrong way, i did and so did a lot of other people. i think they messed it with a lot of us. >> most of the twitter pushback i saw were conservatives upset with this. i'm not sure why there's nothing offensive to anyone except you're going to read something in there that's not in there. >> thank you, guys. >> sure thing. >> we'll be right back. because i make the best chicken noodle soup. because i make the best chicken noodle soup. for every way you make chicken noodle soup, make it delicious with swanson®. if a denture were to be put under a microscope we can see all the bacteria that still exists. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher brighter denture every day.
