will air at 10:00 a.m. eastern. hope you can be here for that. >> that's it for us this hour. >> don't go anywhere. "smerconish" starts for you right now. i'm michael smerconish. welcome to thement pra. let's get ready to rumble! just a few days until the first gop debate. and as the candidates fight to get on the debate stage, you might be surprised at who will determine the final lineup. it's not the republican party. caught on camera. literally, you have seen the university of cincinnati video. but have you heard what the officer charged with murder was told to say by a fellow officer? and the latest on one of the great aviation mysteries of all time mh flight 370. what can be learned from one key

piece of evidence? more on those stories in a moment but first according to gabriel sherman in the latest issue of "new york magazine" not long after richard ales helped richard nixon win the presidential race that the political party would one day be replaced by the most important force in politics. we are just a week away from the presidential election and that prediction may have become true. the participants will be determined by the results of five national polls. eight of the competitors seem secure. but chris christie john kasich and rick perry are on the bubble. one of them seems destined for the so-called kitty table earlier in the evening. if the republican national committee isn't sure on which five polls fox will rely doesn't that give the

conservative cable network great latitude in determining the participants? after all, there are differences among the pollsters. and some of the candidates make for better tv than others. now, of course cnn will host the second debate and my same critique might apply here. the point is a widowing role historically played by early voting states has arguably been left to television much like ales predicted. joining me is the chief communications specialist for the republican national committee, shawn, as things stand now, it would appear that donald trump is dead center on that stage next thursday flanked by jeb bush and scott walker with the outer flanks yet to be determined. is that a fair way to sum it up? >> yes, that seems to be the case but we still have a little ways to go. >> so tuesday at 5:00 p.m. is the cutoff for the polls that will be used to determine who the participants will be? >> that's right. that's what fox has announced the cutoff will be yes.

>> does the rnc know on which five polls fox will rely? >> no fox has said they will use the latest five nationals that meet their standards. my understanding is they will announce what their criteria is but there are people constantly out there polling and i think what fox wants to do is ensure they have the latest polls that have been completed to ensure that if anyone is surging one way or the other, that the top ten and the bottom six are the most representative of the polls that have been most recently completed. >> but doesn't the rnc then worry that it has seated control for this first and important debate to television executives at fox? >> well, i mean the law is very clear on this. the rnc cannot nor can any political organization set the criteria and format. the rnc can be involved in sanctioning the debate but when it comes to format the law is

very clear. >> the concern i'm expressing is one of polls come to different conclusions. and maybe someone can say, rick perry, he's pretty good tv. he had that oops moment last cycle. we want him on the stage neck and neck with governor kasich. maybe we go for a poll that shows perry running ahead of kasich. how do you prevent against that? >> well, i mean the first thing i would say, and this is truth for both the case of fox and cnn, right now this cycle we suffer from an abundance of riches. we have 16/17 candidates of great stature. in past cycles there would have been a lot of people left off completely silenced because they are not hitting the 1% threshhod. in the case of fox and cnn, i think that we should actually to some degree focus on how inclusive this process has been. >> well, and maybe by the way i'll have the same criticism when we get to the cnn debate next month in september. september 16. and you can come back and make all the same observations.

but right now all of the money for ads is being spent on fox news. and i've got a tally, which i can put on the screen of just how many appearances the candidates have made on fox alone. it's staggering. and i guess i'm wondering, if in the big picture, the role that was once played by iowa the role that was once played by new hampshire, is now being played by one media outlet. and frankly, roger ales a long time ago said there's a day when television succumbs to the role of the party and wonder if that day is today. >> no at the end of the day they are still using polls. they are not choosing these people. in the same way cnn and every other network is going to use some mechanism of polling to say who are the people that immediate the criteria to get in this debate. fox is doing the same thing. they are not choosing anybody. >> one other observation, if i might, jackie qualms just wrote a paper for harvard university.

and it's a detailed report. i want to show shawn spicer one statement from it and ask you to react. she wrote conservative media helped push the party so far to the anti-government, anti-compromise ideological right attacks republican leaders for taking the smallest step toward the moderate middle. do you worry so much emphasis on fox's role in this first debate has that intended or unintended effect? it pushes candidates to a rightward position that becomes untellable in a general election? >> not at all. with all due respect to jackie and harvard and "the new york times" where she writes i think that the problem is that for so long the left wing mainstream media has taken people to the left and only focused us on issues that a lot of conservative activists and republican voters haven't cared about. that they are sending sort of a shockwave through the mainstream media when they recognize how the issues and the concerns that

the conservative media are bringing up that don't go covered. you look at the recent planned parenthood scandal. it's the conservative media that is out there bringing that scandal to light. and to shed the concerns coming out. if left up to "the new york times" and the rest of the mainstream media, it would be swept under the rug. >> look at what happened four years ago, governor romney running as someone who frankly didn't reflect the record he had as governor of massachusetts. maybe if he had been the real mitt romney he would have a tough time in primary season but a stronger general election candidate. i think that's the kind of tension that she's commenting on in this paper. >> i think our party is doing just fine. our candidates are doing just great. and i think there's a little bit of concern in the mainstream media when you look at the market share that a lot of the newspapers have they are losing. and i think what happens is you see the growth of conservative media that is -- and i think it

is worrisome to people in the mainstream media who see it's a dying medium. they see the media getting attention and they don't get to set the agenda anymore. >> a final question on the donald. thus far as of right now, has he been a positive or negative influence or the gop process? >> well, look i think when we have 16 candidates that kind of are all over the spectrum it is good for the party. at the end of the day, the more people paying attention and are involved in this process,s the good for the party to bring more eyeballs and attention to the race. donald trump, rand paul ted cruz jeb bush all these people are bringing more and more people into the republican party. and some of them come from different perspectives and it makes our party, at the end of the day, much more stronger as we head into a general election. >> i will say this i can't remember a first out of the

shoot debate in august for crying out loud that has the kind of interest building around this one. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you, michael. you bet. donald trump continues to lead the gop polls as republican candidates prepare for their first debate. how will the competitors share the stage with him? and will he handle his tone in the primetime. in the meantime hillary clinton's campaign fired off a testy letter to "the new york times." bernie sanders drew 100,000 supporters. and conservatives wonder if joe biden's time has come. i have two pros to break it down. a former reagan administration official and contributing editor to the american spectator who is a trump supporter. anna navarro is here as a jeb bush supporter. anna i want to begin by showing you video from what happened in florida yesterday. hillary clinton launched what has been described as a biting

surprise attack on your guy, jeb bush. let's watch. >> i don't think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to rise and then say you're for phasing out medicare or for repealing obamacare. people can't rise if they can't afford health care. they can't rise if the minimum wage is too low to live on. they can't rise if their governor makes it harder for them to get a college education. and you cannot seriously talk about the right to rise and support laws that deny the right to vote! >> of course right to rise is the name of jeb's superpac. the times says jeb bush was unprepared for the attack. what if on thursday night the donald launches that kind of attack on jeb bush. will he similarly be unprepared? >> well, i'm not sure how "the times" knows jeb bush was

unprepared. i think jeb bush was prepared to go give the message he was there to give and wasn't going to deviate from that because of what hillary clinton said. i think hillary clinton's attack on jeb at the urban league was inappropriate. it's not a political organization. they were very nice to every candidate that was there. and i think it shows you that hillary clinton is concerned about republicans actually showing up and competing for the black vote or the hispanic vote. and they should be concerned because if jeb bush is the nominee, he won't move an inch on any one community. being prepared for donald trump, what every candidate needs to do is prepare for a republican debate. i think the one that should be preparing is frankly, the debate moderator. i think he's got a much tougher job in the next week. that would make me more nervous. >> jeffrey, does your guy need to take it down a couple notches? >> no i think that's the

mistake. and, you know the story here about governor bush not responding and you go back to governor romney in the last debate there with president obama, this is sort of the problem with moderate republicans. and that is i think, why donald trump is so popular among other things. he really does answer. >> what's interesting is that i want to show footage from bloomberg. because they reported some insights from trump supporters. why exactly are they for the donald? watch this. >> he speaks the truth. he doesn't care what people think. >> uncorp photographed. >> honest. >> i like his roughness. >> trump is a threat because he doesn't fit in the same box all the other republicans are in. >> he's like one of us. he may be a millionaire to separate him from everybody else. but besides the money issue, he's in tune with what everybody is wanting. >> i knew that he was a wealthy successful man. and i remember asking my mother if i could write him a letter to

ask him how he made his money so i could do it too. >> i think he's a successful person. i want to be a billionaire. >> to the american people it would be a presidency of hope. >> ana, he's at 20% in the polls. 80% on the passion index. how can jeb bush or any of the other republicans match that type of intensity? >> they can't. they can't. i mean they have -- frankly, they can't outpersonality donald trump. they can't outrage donald trump. they can't outtrump donald trump. so they've got to be themselves. they've got to be the foils of donald trump. let donald trump be donald trump and let everyone else offer policy solutions and they have to address the problems and the questions and speak by the rules, frankly. people have to decide at some point, do we want entertainment? do we want the outrageous character or do we want somebody that is presidential? that's going to be our choice.

they can't out do trump. >> jeffrey, you just published a piece, why for karl rove and the wall street editorial page the donald is not the ticket. give me the short version. >> short version is i think there's a separation of sorts between the establishment republicans and the conservative base. the kind of folks you just heard in that bit from bloomberg. one other thing, michael, you're right about television. and all those people that were just in that focus group, they are long television watchers as i'm sure most americans are. so they are fairly sophisticated in understanding this kind of thing. >> let's switch to the other side of the aisle. i have two republicans as guests but we can all comment on what is going on among the d's. hillary clinton's campaign filed off a 2,000 word campaign complaining about treatment relative to the e-mail scandal. he's my observation. has "the times" helped hillary

clinton? because whenever this issue comes up in the future people will remember the tainted reporting and won't think there's all that much to it. >> now, you tell me michael smerconish if i told you two months ago, two years ago that the leading democrat was going to be complaining about liberal new york times and that donald trump was going to be running in 2016 would you have told me i was smoking something? >> yes, i would have. >> i think she can write off all the letters she wants. the problem she has is this e-mail problem is not going away. it's a constant drip drip drip. we see things happening, developments are happening every single week. this week we learned there were five intelligence agencies that e-mailed her private server. we learned her very close spokesperson had to hand in 20 boxes of e-mails to the judge under judicial order. it's a problem that doesn't go away and doesn't smell good. it does not pass the muster. >> jeffrey, your guy is taking

all the oxygen out of the room. overlooked is bernie sanders had 100,000 people participate in a streamed event this week. are we underestimating him? >> i think we are. you know to me bernie sanders, i hate to confess this but i'm old enough. bernie sanders is the gene mccarthy. senator mccarthy ran against lbj and everybody said he had no chance and almost upended him in new hampshire. and by the end of march, lbj was out. so yes, i think he could really cause problems for her. >> and my observation given what is going on and the unsettled nature of this if i'm joe biden in wilmington man i'm giving this a lot of thought. thank you. two pros i appreciate you're being here. >> thank you, michael. thank you, ana. when we come back cecil the lion. zimbabwe wants this american to stand trial. and studying the first mh370

plane part that is being studied. i'll talk to a spokesperson on what they hope to learn. and the horrible cincinnati video. what happens when you slow down the tape? you might be very surprised. obsess about security. she'll log in with her smile. he'll have his very own personal assistant. and this guy won't just surf the web. he'll touch it. scribble on it. and share it. because these kids will grow up with windows 10. get started today. windows 10. a more human way to do. no student's ever done the full hand raise in ap calc. but your stellar notebook gives you the gumption to reach for the sky. that's that new gear feeling. a all hp ink buy one get one 50% off. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great. unbelievable! toenail fungus? seriously?

welcome back. dr. walter palmer is still in hiding. he's the minnesota dentist who killed cecil the lion. if you're on social media, you would think palmer committed the crime of the century. there are a lot of angry cecil supporters calling for his head and so is the animal rights group peta people for the earth call treatment of animals. they believe he needs to be extradited charged and preferably hanged. joining me now is ingrid newkirk. the president and co-founder of peta. ingrid preferably hanged? were you saying that ingest? >> i didn't mean it. i think he should face the music. he's a coward and should go back to zimbabwe and stand trial with the other two because he set this all on foot to use a legal term. i don't want him hanging in the wind. i want him answerable for his crimes and want these kinds of crimes committed by trophy hunters to stop. >> what if he's telling the

truth in saying his guides, he was relying on his guides for the level of expertise necessary and thought that they had dotted all the i's and crossed the t's. >> my mother used to say, pull the other leg that has bells on it. he was found guilty seven or eight years ago for lying to federal authorities when he illegally took a bear. and he's been to zimbabwe before. he knows about that national park and knew exactly where he was. and he was on the jeep. they baited the jeep to bring the lion cecil, out of the park. and then he's standing right there blinding this lion with a huge spotlight. so he gets up within feet or a foot of the lion and still can't make a clean shot. and then, of course they spend 40 hours before they find him with a steel arrow through him being hidden in the bush. >> i'm playing close attention but hadn't heard that level of

detail. where are you getting that from? >> it's coming from zimbabwe and from the reports of the people who have spoke on the the guides themselves. the guys who have turned themselves in. to people who were on the scene. you know you have these sort of couch potato trophy hunters who go over to africa and they wave a lot of money in front of people. and they are basically wheeled out. sometimes they will shoot a lion or rhino sleeping. it is very common for them to shoot at night because they can then blind the animal who has come in to eat. >> what do you say to those who say it's a first world problem that in zimbabwe people are not unsettled by this. this is more accepted and it's accepted because they are financially dependent on trophy hunting? >> i would say a couple of things. it's ugly americans and euro trash. and we have to get rid of that. we don't want to be tainted by that any of us who have more money than sense. they can give that money to

villages and start programs. they could do something useful but they don't. they give it to a safari company only owned by a couple people often white, and they get the money. the locals don't get it. they discard the carcasses so they are not feeding anybody. they are not subsidizing anybody. it is bunk. >> i had radio callers on my program that said why all the concern over the lion? why not more discussion about black lives matter or the fetal tissue issue that concerns planned parenthood. to them you would say what? >> all lives are important. and any good and kindness we can bring to the world is a great thing. it's not a competition. so the kinds of people who would be cruel to animals, and i found this when i was an investigator for cruelty cases, are the sorts of people who really don't give much concern for human life. let's look after everybody. >> i had a poll on my website as

to whether this sort of trophy hunting should be illegal, 79% on one of the 79% that believe it should be. having said that i'm worried about this man's safety. the dentist's safety. i'm concerned about people taking matters into their own hands. i hope that there's a day in court for him, whether it's here or whether it's there, but let's just underscore. we want the process to play itself out. >> oh absolutely. and i think the anger is coming from nonviolent people who are outraged that somebody could take this high-powered crossbow and shoot an animal who was minding their own business. it's the violence that is not on the side of the people asking for violence to be stopped. so he's in hiding. he's got a public relations person issuing statement for him. go back to zimbabwe stand up for what you did and don't just

pretend. >> ingrid thank you. >> thank you. the government of zimbabwe wants dr. palmer to be extradited. we are joined by danny now. >> i feel like i'm ready for the bar exam after covering this for days. >> is what offends us here legal there? >> absolutely. shooting a lion with a crossbow or bow and arrow is also legal. shooting an animal with a collar is legal in zimbabwe. the charge here is on geography. he shot him in a spot not quoted for lions. so if there's a parallel in the united states it might be hunting without a license or hunting in an area that is not laid aside for hunting. and is a law that we have here

not only federally but in all the states as well because we have national parks. so there are parallels here in the united states. and that will be key to the extradition process. >> ted nugent sent me an e-mail saying because this lion has a name. this goes on constantly but people are feeling cuddly about, those are my words, not his, because it's cecil. >> i said the same thing. it's a lot about symbolism. about 100 lions are being killed in zimbabwe alone per year. so why is this any different? is it because this one is called cecil? what about lion one, two, three, four five six, seven? come back and take your google earth trip back to the united states. we hunt everything here. deer bear all kinds of things. ted nugent and i are both from michigan and know all about black powder season crossbow season. i don't hunt personally but almost all my friends back home do. so it's part of our culture as well as the zimbabwe culture.

>> what's the issue now relative to extradition? >> extradition treaties are written very per missbly. in other words, if a requesting state wants a person the requested state here the united states usually will give them up and under our extradition treaty as long as there's what is called dual criminality. if it's a crime in zimbabwe and a crime here then we should extradite that person back to zimbabwe. and it's important to be a federal or state crime. the parallel doesn't have to be a perfect match. as long as there's some relationship some similarity then under at least the treaty he should be returned. >> who makes the call? >> well, it's an interesting question. first, legally the court makes the call. the u.s. attorneys will bring the man into court. there will be a hearing. it's essentially a probable cause here in which we criminal defense lawyers deal with all the time. it's a light burden for the government to win. most of the cases are held for

trial, but in this case finding probable cause in this crime committed will be ease. legally i'll say it's a decision that is made by the court. but really it's a political decision because aren't all extradition treaties really nothing more than contracts? and contracts that can be broken without any remedy. after all, what are you going to do zimbabwe? >> is it the state department that will make that political decision? are you telling me secretary kerry is going -- i'm offended by what i see in this case but that secretary kerry is going from negotiating the iranian nuclear deal to deciding the fate of cecil the lion? is it him? >> absolutely right. then it's a political issue, does the state department care enough to get involved or keep this guy. one it's into the judicial system the finding is very clearly laid out and it's almost a forgone conclusion that he will be returned. the u.s. attorneys have little discretion it appears in

initiating extradition treaties. >> so it's not the prosecutors, it's secretary kerry. >> yes. it comes down to political beyond my kin, that's you being the guru there, but in the case like this all the international law ultimately comes down to who has the most aircraft carriers. >> i can imagine peta sending their attention to secretary kerry's office. thank you. after the break, the mystery of malaysia air 370. the one piece of the plane that's been found is in france. and the ntsb and boeing are headed there to help unravel the biggest airline mystery ever. and the donald. three times my predictions have been wrong about mr. trump. but it won't stop me for going for number four. my commentary is upcoming.

my name is jamir dixon and i'm a locate and mark fieldman for pg&e. most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new... it's an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you don't hit them when you're digging. 811 is a free service. i'm passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. they're the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i'll drive it every day of the week. together, we're building a better california.

american crash investigators and a team from boeing are headed to france. they will try to help solve the mystery that's captured the world's imagine nation. what happened to malaysia flight 370? every day authorities are more and more convinced the part that washed up on reunion island was from the missing jetliner. looking ahead to this week i'm curious about what happens next. i don't know anyone better to tell me this than the manager director of the national transportation safety board. peter, one thing that has come to light given the discussion of the wreckage is apparently there's a u.s. intel assessment that concluded that it was deliberate action that caused this crash. what is the evidence for that assessment? >> well, my understanding on that and i've talked to a couple people act it is that it was an open source assessment meaning they took all of the available information that was in the public realm and had analysts review it and come to a

conclusion. and i think it's based on this michael. if the plane -- >> i'm sorry, go ahead. please. >> if the plane did the u-turn they were able to see it crossing the island of malaysia. then it disappears. the speculation is that it goes north of the straight around indonesia and then back down into the southern pacific. if it made those turns, the only way it would do that is if it was under human control and someone was directing it. that's the basis of it. >> is the working hypothesis meaning it was the pilot? >> well, i'm not sure that anyone's taking the next step to brand the pilot as the culprit here. but if you take that intelligence assessment someone in the cockpit with the ability to fly the plane made those decisions to direct the plane

into a fatal dive somewhere in the southern pacific. >> is it fair to say that this newly-discovered piece of wreckage tells us that the plane crashed in water but not how? >> that's right. i mean this is -- this piece of wreckage when it is confirmed that it comes from flight 370, is going to give just two basic facts. one, the plane is in the water. two, we are looking in probably the right space. >> does this tell us that the plane crashed in the water while intact? or is there a possibility that the part dropped off ahead of the crash? >> we don't know that yet. they are looking at the fracture surfaces and see under an electron microscope that will determine exactly how this part of the plane separated from the

wing. and they will give us some indication of how the plane hit the water. it looks, to many of us as though this piece might have separated from the plane before it plunged into the water because there's not a lot of compression damage to this wing. it might have separated during the last few moments of flight. >> final question and most important, perhaps, have any changes been made since the crash, presumed crash of mh370, that will make us never have to go through this again, that there will not be a missing airplane? >> individual air carriers have made changes but has there been a universal change in how we track planes over open ocean? the answer is not yet. >> well, that's a shame. that's really sad, i think. the idea there's a 777 that disappears is so tragic for those families. peter, thank you. appreciate your time. >> thank you. coming up next shocking

cincinnati police shooting video. let's freezeframe the tape and see what we find. we'll do that in a moment. 40% of the streetlights in detroit, at one point, did not work. you had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. you can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. at the time that the bankruptcy filing

was done, the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. people can see better when they're out doing their tasks, young people are moving back in town the kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. and folks are making investments and the community is moving forward. 40% of the lights were out, but they're not out for long.they're coming back.

like everyone i'm horrified by the video from the university of cincinnati shooting that shows police officer ray tenseng killing ray dubose. when he moves to unbuckle his seattle seat belt he moved to shoot him with his gun. mark o'mara representing mark dubose's family i know you have seen this countless times. but i want to show you this in slow motion. tell me what you are seeing.

there's the scuffle. it all happened so quickly. and now it's done. is it possible mark that the police officer says take your seat belt off and when the man reaches for the seat belt the officer mistakes that for him reaching for a gun? >> is it possible? certainly. we don't know what his intent was in his mind at that moment. and that's certainly relevant. but on the other hand we have to look at this a bit more globally. tenseng is trained to deescalate the situation. he could have done something as simple as who's car is it rather than coming back to a female. he could have run the license when he asked him to. he could have done anything except to make the maneuver to try to get him out of the car without justification. and when sam turned on the car keys he may have intended to leave, but at that precise moment is when the officer

sticks his hand into the car without reason of justification. i don't see sam going for his left side for the seat belt the way he did. i see his hand go up in response to the hand coming in the car. then the very next microsecond you see sam's hands come up as he leaps away from the officer. that will be up to the jury. but what i do know is that the officer escalated this rather than deescalating it. and it ended up in the death of sam without justification. >> there are many significant aspects to the initial police report. i want to put up on the screen one of those i find of significance. it says officer kid told me he witnessed the honda accord drag officer tensing and witnessed tensing fire a shot. this is one officer backing up the police officer's account who shot your client. >> that is very very troubling. and that is what is causing this

tragedy of mistrust that we now have in law enforcement officers. tensing deserves his day in court. looks like he murdered sam. we'll deal with that. but when you have an officer, actually two officers who seemingly will corroborate a false story, buddy to buddy, brother to brother, that type of mistrust that is being built in not just the black community but in the community as a whole, is horrific. and that's what seems to be stirring up more controversy between law enforcement and the community. because we know what happened michael. right there in the precise moment of relevance, those officers presuming the body cam wasn't going to contradict them or hoping it wouldn't decided to back up tensing. why? we now know it is an absolute lie about what happened there in order to protect the shooting. >> we also hear one of the officers on the scene give advice to officer tensing. roll that please.

>> don't say anything. >> which in tandem with the police report is suggestive on the surface that these police are covering for one another. >> you know that's a tough call. law enforcement officers are given an extraordinary privilege that i don't agree with. and that is they are told by everybody, do not tell your story and most departments have 12 24 48 hours. some 72 hours before the police officers are required to give their side of the story in a police shooting when they are the focus. that to me is utterly dangerous. if one of my clients gets involved in a crime, and they can get past miranda, they can be read the statement right away. i understand police and respect most police. they have a tough, tough job. but this is a primary example of how when we don't do it in a

very transparent way, we can cause more mistrust and more problems. because we now know what happened with tensing. he's shot without justification and his story of dragging dragging dragging. his arm went from not being hurt to almost numb by the time ten minutes after the video progresses. it's horrific that these things are happening and we have to train cops better. and we have to train cops some responsibility. >> a quick 30-second answer. what does this case mean to you personally? america knows you as george zimmerman's attorney. >> i see this as a same spectrum. i did my best on george zimmerman's behalf and do that for every one of my clients. i have had an opportunity now to talk about race in the criminal justice system for three years because of the platform it's given me. and now i represent the dubose family and represent other black family victims of police violence over the past several years to pending now. and i enjoy it.

i consider it an honor that i'm being trusted by the dubose family to do the best i can on their behalf. >> mark o'hara we appreciate your expertise. and we'll be right back with the prognostication for how donald trump finally leaves the political arena. listen up... i'm reworking the menu. mayo, corn dogs... you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein... and 26 vitamins and minerals. ensure. take life in. hey, you forgot the milk! that's lactaid. right. 100% real milk just without the lactose. so you can drink all you want... ...with no discomfort? exactly. here, try some...

mmm, it is real milk. see? delicious. hoof bump! oh. right here girl, boom. lactaid®. 100% real milk. no discomfort. and for a creamy and delicious treat, try lactaid® ice cream.

i'm gonna crack like nobody's watching and eat like i skipped lunch. why? because red lobster's crabfest is back. and i'm diving into so much crab, so many ways. like crab lover's dream with luscious snow and king crab legs and rich crab alfredo or this snow crab bake. who knew crab goes with everything? whoever put crab on this salmon, that's who. with flavors like these, i'm almost too excited to eat! hey i said almost. and now that it's back get crackin' while you still can.

full disclosure. i never thought donald trump would made the full disclosure. i was wrong on all through or what mr. trump would call a loser. i want to quadruple down. i can't see him competing beyond the iowa and new hampshire primary, assuming he makes both ballots. he might drop out before votes are cast. next thursday's debate might be a watershed if trump is forced to come up with with substantive answers. he might be able to dodge some tough questions because the debate 90 minutes will be split

ten ways. given he is at the top, all eyes will be on him. regardless of the short-term income i think he has peaked. a poll shows him holding firm at 20% among republican voters. where is the growth potential? i don't see it. particularly where a full 30% of republicans say there is no way they will ever support him. more likely the first star to fade in 2016 like michele bachmann herman cain and newt gingrich. if i'm right, i doubt he has the resolution to hang on when it is pretty clear the race is unwinnable. the donald doesn't do second place, much less fifth, sixth or tenth in anything. what i can't fathom is his exit strategy. no way he tanks at the polls and goes quietly into the night, not with his ego. it has to be something big,

something gran deo's, like what happened in 1992 when ross perot dropped out, got back in and finished third. he later said he had withdrawn because george herbert walker bush was planning to disrupt his daughter's wed wg with a computer altered picture. that's a billionaire's playbook for trump. what might he do? since escaped mexican drug lord put a price on mr. trump's head he could site the security wish and his family's wishes that he quit the race. the tweet attributed to el chapo says keep f'ing around and i will make you swallow your whore words, you f-king whily. melania is expecting baby number two, his sixth child with his third wife. just like saying a sitting president is going to disrupt your daughter's wedding.

i'll be right back with some of your tweets. i have type 2 diabetes. i started with pills. and now i take a long-acting insulin at night. i take mine in the morning. i was trying to eat right, stay active. but i wasn't reaching my a1c goal anymore. man: my doctor says diabetes changes over time. it gets harder to control blood sugar spikes after i eat and get to goal. my doctor added novolog® at mealtime for additional control. now i know. novolog® is a fast-acting, injectable insulin and it works together with my long-acting insulin. proven effective. the mealtime insulin doctors prescribe most. available in flexpen®. vo: novolog® is used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. take novolog® as directed. eat a meal within 5 to 10 minutes after injection. check your blood sugar levels. do not take novolog® if your blood sugar is too low
