and he's probably a basketball fan, more of the ncaa and the nba. >> have you ever had more fun than you're having right now is. >> well, this is the most fun i've had in my life. >> we have more for all access at the final four at 2:30 eastern on cnn. i brought some sister jean socks. you get to choose. >> i'm taking the buone with th face! >> no. >> the brackets. all right. >> thank you, coy. >> you're welcome. disturbing new video from an officer's body camera showing the police killing of alton sterling in baton rouge. >> don't move, stop. >> what did i do? what did i do? >> don't [ bleep ] move. i'll shoot your [ bleep ]. >> you can't walk away from the truth, baton rouge. stand up, fight back! >> an independent autopsy shows

that stephon clark was shot by police officers eight times, six of those wounds were in his back. >> contradicts the narrative that had been put forth by the police. the white house not happy with scott pruitt over his controversial living arrangements and his security detail. is the epa chief perhaps the next to go? >> i think he should resign. if he doesn't resign, the president should fire him. good saturday morning to you. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm christi paul. always good to have you here. we have to begin with new, disturbing video. i want to forewarn you, video of alton sterling's death. for the first time, we're getting a clearer picture of what happened before a white police officer decided to shoot him six times, killing him outside of a baton rouge convenience store. >> this morning, that officer has been released from his job,

fired. the police chief got rid of him more than a year and a half after that officer pulled the trigger. we want to warn you that the video you're about to see is disturbing. cnn has more from baton rouge. kaylee, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. now with the help of both officers' body cams as well as surveillance video from the convenience store, we're getting a more complete and clear account of the encounter and the struggle that led to alton sterling's death, as well as the moments immediately following. this new video released last night by the baton rouge police department, i want to warn you again, it is disturbing. graphic and disturbing new video. >> what did i do? what did i do? >> don't [ bleep ] move. i'll shoot you [ bleep ]. put your [ bleep ] hands on the car! >> narrato >> reporter: showing the controversial shooting death of sterling in july, 2016. the brung chief of police announcing -- baton rouge chief of police announcing blane salamoni who shot sterling six

teams during the struggle will be fired over his actions. >> the violation of command of temper has been sustained. officer blane salamoni has been terminated from the baton rouge police department effective today. >> reporter: this week, salamoni refused to answer any questions. during a disciplinary hearing, the chief said, while howie lake, the other officer, answered them all. lake he said controlled his temper during the encounter, was given a three-day unpaid suspension. >> one officer did not figure the tactics, training -- did not follow the tactics, training, and organizational standards. >> reporter: the police chief making it clear their administrative investigation was separate from the federal criminal charges both officers were already cleared of. the police department released four videos from the night of the shooting including this surveillance footage from the triple-s convenience store. that's sterling at the front of the store at a table selling c.d.s. minutes later he's seen

conducting a transaction with an unidentified man. here he removes what appears to be a gun from his pocket followed by money from the same pocket. within seconds, sterling is seen jokingly making a shooting motion toward the man. that night police were initially called to the triple-s convenience store responding to a 911 call from a witness who saw a man with a gun. watch closely as things escalate quickly. from salamoni's perspective, you can see a brief struggle, then his gun is trained on sterling's head. >> don't you [ bleep ]. i'll shoot you in your [ bleep ] head, you hear me? don't you [ bleep ] move -- >> all right, hold up. hold up. you're hurting my arm. >> narrator: sterling was pinned to the ground and tased twice. >> get on the ground! get on the ground! >> pop him again, howie! >> reporter: before being fatally shot. previously released cell phone videos recorded by bystanders show at this point in the encounter salamoni believed sterling was armed. >> he's got a gun!

>> reporter: a gun was recovered from sterling's body. but the federal and state investigations determined that the officer's actions were reasonable and couldn't prove that sterling wasn't reaching for a gun. blane salamoni's attorney tells cnn they're disappointed in the chief's decision to fire him. they say they feel he should have been given a comparable punishment to howie lake's three-day suspension. they plan to appeal. salamoni's firing will be appealed to a higher level in hopes of reversing the chief's decision. and as new video circulates, alton sterling's family is trying to keep his five children from seeing it. the family's attorney tells cnn that what they find particularly disturb being this video is the way you can hear the officers cussing over alton sterling's body, calling him names as he lay bleeding and dying. >> thank you very much. we'll talk about that in more detail in a moment. first to sacramento where black lives matter is marching following the police killing of

22-year-old stephon clark. >> cnn was there as one activist shouted this message to police -- "you're killing us, and you're lying about it." here's ryan young. >> reporter: another night of protests in sacramento. you can see the protesters behind me letting their voices be heard. this is a day that had a lot of high emotion because the attorney for the family came out with their own findings and autopsy. the autopsies show they believe the investigation will show that clark was shot multiple times. six shots in the back, another in the leg. the father of two, they believe, was on the grounds dying for several minutes before he received help. ultimately he died. now you can feel the power of this protest that has been taking to the streets the last few days. they do plan to have another protest saturday before the nba game. there's been conversation about what to do next in this city. we know the police department has said they will not comment about the independent autopsy because they do not want to

comment before their investigation is finished. what they are doing here, though, is they're standing still right outside of city hall to make sure their voices are heard. once again, another protest saturday, a lot of people wondering what will happen next because people in this community say they want to have more answers from the authorities involved. ryan young, cnn, sacramento. >> thank you very much. joining me is wesley lowery, cnn contributor, and michael moore, former u.s. attorney for the middle district of georgia. gentlemen, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> michael, let me first get your reaction to what you saw there. and i want to, if you can in this answer, explain to me -- there are people who saw this video and wonder why no charges were filed. officer salamoni approaches sterling with his weapon drawn and says, "i'm going to shoot you in the expletive head." that was 30 seconds by my count watching the video by someone else who is potentially officer lake saying there "he's got a

gun. kwh what role does that play in deciding whether to file charges or not? >> one of the most important pieces of evidence in a review like this is tapes and recordings. i think it paints a picture that is hard to get around. i think that it clearly supports his firing, in my view of a quick look at it, certainly brings into question whether or not those charges could have been brought. there's no question that he handled the situation improperly. there's no question that he -- it appears to me that he escalated the situation. and so at that point there has to be a decision made. these cases are tough. there's great deference given to the stress in the field that the officers may sense while they're out there. the fact, of course, in the sterling case that apparently there was a gun that may have been seen or at least reported at some time. that complicates the case, too. different, of course, maybe than the sacramento case. but nonetheless, it seems pretty clear to me that the situation

moved quickly out of hand. and we hope that officers are trained, and there's a lot of good men and women in the police departments and law enforcement across the country. you always want to be trained to de-escalate a situation and to get to a point where if they choose not to use deadly force as opposed to that being something that they bring about as a last resort. >> wesley, kaylee mentioned in her report the insults after the shooting. as tragic as everything is that leads up to the shooting and the shooting itself, officer salamoni there called sterling a stupid m f'er, stupid ass, stupid as he lay dying on the ground. the action, sporesponse from th community is justified. to see that as this man is on the ground after the shooting. >> of course. this kind of charged language, the name-calling. that cuts in both directions, right?

you do understand sometimes after something that's so charged and heated often you hear these kind of emotional statements from officers who had just been involved in some type of fatal shooting. but beyond that, the fact that we're even seeing this video now a year and a half, almost two years later, initially when the initial cell phone video came out, the department said there was no relevant body camera video. the body cameras had fallen off. what we now see is there's all types of information in these videos. this would have fundamentally changed the public perception of the case a year ago, two years ago, back when there were thousands of people in the streets. so that the department held on to this video for so long that we are just seeing these things. i mean, like i said, even someone who covered this case previousli, it changed in fundamental ways my understanding of what had happened. you see officer salamoni entering a scenario in which his -- howie lake is already talking to sterling, there's interaction coming. and him coming in and guns

drawn, putting a gun to his head. moments later as you slow the video down, you see at the moment in which salamoni ininstructs lays to -- ininstructs him to tase him, you see the force continuing to escalate e even as sterling is not being complete compliant but not completelily uncompliant either. later on as this -- the struggle on the ground that leads to the actual shooting, it's because after sterling has been tased, he's standing with his hands up. and you watch as salamoni tackles him to the ground. which i think most police trainers would say isn't the way he should do that. >> michael, speak to how this video could have been, for lack of a better term, held for almost two years now. and answer the questions so many have on social media -- why wasn't there some discipline before now, this happened in july of 2016? >> so when you look at these cases, and i've had the chance

to sit there and have to make decisions on them, there are so many moving parts. you have the incident that happened. you have obviously a first concern, the victim's family. you have an interested law enforcement community. you have the departments, the officer, you have questions about the officer's rights, as he goes through department interviews and processes. you want to be transparent, at the same time, you're trying to protect the integrity of the investigation. the problem comes in sometimes that you -- in an effort to be transparent, what you don't want to do is say, look, maybe to the family, look, here's what we found so far. i want to keep you up to date, and suddenly there be a press conference on the steps of the courthouse or something as the investigation is in midstream. we don't know the whole picture. this is a perfect case of showing how things come to light as that goes on. as the investigation goes on. so i think the better thing is to have information out there that the public needs to see it, they have a right to see it. the fear is that it will get

dribbled out and won't paint an accurate picture until there's ultimately a conclusion in the investigation. so it's tough, but again, as somebody who meets with the families and wants to talk to the families, you want to share with them because you know no matter what the situation, what led to it, their loved one was involved in the shooting. at the same time, you have an officer who oftentimes is distraught, as well. >> yes. wesley, quickly to you. i want to talk about stephon clark. we learned from an independent awed toeps, the second awe -- awed toeps, the second autopsy, that he was shot eight times, six times in the back. how does that correspond with what we've been told by law enforcement to this point? >> certainly. the family and family's attorney benjamin crump would say this contradicts the version by police who said he was facing them, potentially moving toward them when they opened fire. to see that so many of these bullets entered his body,

according to the independent autopsy, through his back or to his side. the family attorneys argue it contradicts the police story. initially he had a toolbar or crowbar in his hand, and they had to admit he only had a cell phone. this still is not a good development for the police in terms of what their initial story was. >> all right. wesley, michael, thank you both. >> thank you. so could scott pruitt, the epa administrator, be the next person fired from the trump administration? why white house officials are growing frustrated with the head of the epa. plus, russia is expelling diplomats from 23 different countries after those countries kicked russian diplomats out of theirs. how far will this go? mitzi: psoriatic arthritis tries to get in my way? watch me. ( ♪ ) mike: i've tried lots of things for my joint pain. now? watch me. ( ♪ ) joni: think i'd give up showing these guys

how it's done? please. real people with active psoriatic arthritis are changing the way they fight it. they're moving forward with cosentyx. it's a different kind of targeted biologic. it's proven to help people find less joint pain and clearer skin. don't use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms of an infection. or if you have received a vaccine, or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. mitzi: with less joint pain, watch me. for less joint pain and clearer skin, ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx.

ask your rheumatologist if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed

and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. pml, a rare, serious, potentially fatal brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. this condition has not been reported with entyvio. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn's treatment isn't working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach. this morning the head of the epa is facing backlash for how he's spending your money. >> sources tell cnn that senior white house aides are frustrated

with epa head scott pruitt after learning from news reports that he's been rending a condo in washington at a rate far below market value from the family of an energy lobbyist. cnn's abby phillip with us from west palm beach, florida, where the president is spending easter weekend. so we know that the president may be at his florida resort, the administration will have to deal with fallout from scott pruitt. is there any indication as to how soon they will do so? >> reporter: that's right. good morning. the president here having a quiet weekend, but his white house aides are growing frustrated with scott pruitt over at the epa over this controversy and several controversies actually that have been growing around him and use of taxpayer dollars. he started with security detail that democrats have raised questions about. now there's a question about his living arrangement. a d.c. condo that he's been rebting apparently from energy -- rent apparently from energy lobbyist that lobby the epa and

were former donors of his when he was a politician back in oklahoma. and now these -- that arrangement in which he paid about $6,000 over six months for a room is being questioned by democrats and ethics observers. now the white house has been trying to tell cabinet secretaries that they need to get a handle on some of these negative stories about their use of taxpayer dollars. pruitt was one of the officials brought in by john kelly into the white house several weeks ago for a meeting in which kelly said to them optics matter, and you need to not surprise us with these bad stories. that's exactly what pruitt did in this case. the white house was blind sided by the story about the condo. and now growing frustration with pruitt. they are looking to him to resolve this problem. for their part, the epa is saying there was nothing ethically wrong with this arrangement. that even though he may have paid below market value, it was not considered a gift. obviously ethics watchdogs are looking at this and saying otherwise. meanwhile, president trump and

white house aides say nothing on the record to defend pruitt on this issue. an indication of how they are not very happy with how he's handled it so far. >> all right. abby phillip, thank you very much. we appreciate it. a deputy managing editor of "the weekly standard" with us as well as senior citizen politics reporter steven cullinson. thank you for being here. i want to show you a picture. five other people in the administration who have had questions about their travel, about disrupcease and the-- di discrepancies and traveling. how many in this amount of time, is this isolated to president trump's administration, do you chock this up to inexperience in some regard? how does what we're seeing here correspond with past administrations? >> well, there's certainly more turnover in the first year of this administration than you

typically see in an administration. i not that's not even a debatable point. one of the reasons is president trump is an outer. a lot of blue chip republican potential cabinet members who would come into normally a republican administration were alienated from the trump campaign. in many cases you have more inexperienced people. the vetting left something to be desired in this administration, despite the fact there was a good transition plan put in place by chris christie, head of the transition. but you have to start to consider how many lives that scott pruitt, for example, has left. the security, travel. he's been doing what the president wants cutting the

environmental regulation, the size of his department. he's a hero in conservative circles. it's possible that he has more leeway. but you come to a point i think when the damage that someone is doing, the administration from these repeated scandals and stories, outweighs what he brings the administration. you think that the white house might start to consider if somebody else there can do the same job with less controversy. >> i have to get to this other story. abc news reporting that pruitt's protective detail broke down the door of that condominium that we've been talking about all morning on capitol hill because they believed to be unconscious. this happened a year ago. abc reporting that the epa is being really kind of silent, mysterious, they're not answering questions about this. what do we know happened? >> yeah. apparently scott pruitt left work early one day feeling

unwell, and he went back home to the condo that, of course, we've been discussing. and his people couldn't contact him. and so they were worried that, you know, something was really wrong and broke down the door. of course they did pay the owner of the condo. i think just under $3,000 to replace the door and glass. we've been hearing mysterious things about pruitt's security detail for a while. he's seen as -- departments say he's gotten a lot of threats. and that's the reason for it. well, you know, that may be true. if so, i think we could use more information on what the threats are and why they were deemed important enough that he needs to have this security detail. you know, steven made a lot of good points. but i wonder if pruitt is doomed because who is donald trump going to replace him with? he's got a lot of open positions now. he's still looking for people.

i'm wondering, there's no obvious person in line to replace pruitt. he has that going for him, as well. >> steven, you read the abc report, as well as i understand they knocked down the door, 911 was called, the fire department was mobilized. they found him groggy from a nap. he declined medical attention much there was no police -- attention. there was no prius report filed. when we're talking about other threats what have you heard about other threats, and are the threats what prompted the panic that day in march of last year? >> i think this gets to the point that generally an epa administrative doesn't have a huge security retainer. it gets to the point that scott pruitt has been a controversial figure simply because of the actions he's been taking at the epa. for example, he was somebody who was very instrumental in the trump administration pulling out of the paris climate accords. and he was pushing the white house to move faster on that.

that has caused a lot of anger in the environmental movement. he's not been one of the most popular in the administration. there is talk from pruitt supporters that he felt endangered when he was on commercial air travel. i think that's one of the reasons. it does seem for this position that sort of security posture is very unusual. i think that gets to some of the questions why his position is followed. >> there's so much discussion about what the epa has done and the money that they've pulled out of the department essentially and some of the programs they've slashed, is that part of the controversy here with his security detail and the threats that might be coming toward him? >> i think that's possible. it's also the fact that pruitt has basically shown little to no interest in meeting with

representatives from a lot of environmental groups and activists. he has focused his meetings on representatives from industry. and he is always happy to meet people from industry who, of course, are affected by epa regulations. he's been less willing to meet with people who are for these regulati regulations. and i think it does look bad when you're only hearing from one side. and i think that is really what's led to a lot of the anger. it's not only that his epa has gotten rid of regulations. they're not even interested in hearing arguments for why some of these might be needed. >> appreciate you being here. thank you. >> thanks. u.s. officials tell cnn they are worried about a power vacuum if the u.s. pulls out of syria and if the u.s. moves on, as president trump says will soon happen. who wins? -looks great, honey. -right? sometimes you need an expert. i got it. and sometimes those experts need experts.

welcome to saturday. 32 minutes past the hour now. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good morning to you. national security officials tell cnn they are worried about what could happen if the u.s. suddenly withdraws from the battle against isis. the officials say that if the u.s. is no longer in syria, it could create a void that isis or another terror group could fill.

>> here's what president trump told supporters at a rally this week. >> we're knocking the hell out of isis. we'll be coming out of syria very soon. let the other people take care of it now. >> so what happens in syria if the u.s. is no longer involved in the fight? what would that mean for russia? would it be a win? >> let's go to senior international correspondent matthew chance. he has seen the conflict up close, having been embedded with russian forces in syria. matthew, i imagine that russia would see this as a win to have the u.s. out of syria. >> reporter: yeah. i think it definitely would because one of the reasons it went in to syria in the first place was to say, look, russia is a real power broker in the region. russia supports its allies and will not let another one of its allies fall to the western powers, to the united states, except during its allies. of course russia has used its

air force to bolster bashar al assad, the syrian president, and prevent him from being defeated, first of all. more than that, encourage him and allow him to take more and more territory back from rebels on the battlefield. and of course if the americans were to depart syria, effectively the anti-assad forces in that country would be left without a really strong and powerful ally. that would give free reign to assad's forces backed by the russians and crucially, of course, backed by the iranians, as well, who are also assisting bashar al assad on the ground in syria. so yes, in short, i think to answer your question, if the united states were to withdraw, that would be a skrovictory by russians because it would give the ally free reign. >> i want to talk about the standoff between the u.s. and russia about the uk spy poisoning. both sides kicking out diplomats. do you have any indication that there is more of that to come,

and how detrimental really is that to russia itself? >> reporter: well, i think there is an indication that we're not quite at the end of the tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions yet. just yesterday the russian foreign ministry summoned ambassadors from 23 cuountries and told them it was protesting against their expulsions and expelling diplomats from russia, from their countries. that followed the expulsion of 149 diplomats by 29 countries. 60 from the united states. the biggest expulsion ever of russian officials. and it's a massive crisis, the biggest perhaps since the end of the cold war. and the hope, of course, is that this will try and get russia to see it's isolated diplomatically and amend its behavior. the big concern is that won't happen, and it will further an tag myself moscow and -- antagonize moscow and force it

into relations with the west. to the british they've said not only have we expelled the 23 diplomats that you expelled from britain of russian diplomats, but we want you now to reduce your diplomatic mission at this country by 50 individuals. so there are more sanctions now being imposed on the british for one. >> all right. matthew chance, always appreciate the insight. thank you. let's bring in cnn national security analyst juliet cayam, former homeland security assistant secretary and consultant at harvard university. good morning you to -- good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's discuss what a withdrawal from syria would mean for the russians and for terror groups. in large part the exploitation of a power vacuum is how syria got to this point in the first place. al nusra taking advantage there, moving in. the development of isis, the establishment of the caliphate and hundreds of thousands of

dead civilians years later. so from a terror point of view, what would this mean -- i think we know the end of this story if this line from the president is followed. >> it's a great question. before i start on substance, i want to comment on process. syria is complicated. if it were easy, all the countries would have come to a solution. and so the process by which president trump has sort of laid out potentially a new -- new philosophy about what the united states' strategy is in syria saying it in a speech, not preparing the military, not preparing the homeland in terms of our counterterrorism efforts and what that might mean is at this stage careless. it's complicated for a reason, and that's why it takes a deliberative process. to the substance of what you say, one of the successes in counterterrorism efforts clearly the last couple of years has been obviously disbanding isis and getting them out or occupying certain areas in syria and iraq. that does not mean the terror threat has ended.

it means that it has changed over time and the sort of what we call the -- you know, the isolated or lone wolf terrorism is sort of part of the isis strategy. still occurs in the west. we saw it recently in france just a week ago. but nonetheless, that's a manageable threat. i would call what the united states is -- what donald trump is saying the united states wants to do less of a vacuum and more of an abdication. you're handing it to russia and syria. if what trump says is true that we are going to abdicate and hand over parts of -- parts of syria will be stabilized, but there will be isis fighters, where are they going. and of course the refugee problem. it's a problem for europe, but the radicalization issue is one that concerns all of us. >> now juliet, there are some people who are listening to this conversation about the inability or the -- i guess the rejection

of what the president said, rejection to that. and wondering will the u.s. ever really then be able to withdraw from the region if this is going to be the result every time there is, you know, a discussion of retreat from -- for the u.s. >> it very well may be that donald trump's policy is accurate. in fact, members of the obama administration believe in that policy, that we had to begin to withdraw, that assad will stay, that the idea of getting assad out is no longer part of our strategy. and that you stabilize the region, but you don't let iran or syria or russia step into the vacuum. so that is an appropriate theory. it is hard. so that's why announcing it without preparing your diplomats or military efforts, your intelligence agents, is just careless at this stage. and one in which russia is stepping into the vacuum. so when i say that this is an

abdication, put it in context. going after russia in terms of their hacking or influence in the 2016 election. from russia's perspective, putin's perspective, they're looking at the united states not putting up a fight at this stage. that's a win for them. >> plenty -- plenty of questions. thank you very much for being part of the conversation. >> thank you. >> sure. those are deadly protests in gaza that have forced palestinian authority president abass to declare today a day of mourning. you're looking at what was happening yesterday along the gaza-israel border. at least 17 were killed in clashes with israeli troops. more than 1,000 injured. witnesses say israeli troops fired live rounds, rubber bullets, teargas. israel says the violence was orchestrated by hamas and said most of those killed in the violence were "terror

activists." still to come, the hit show "roseanne" is back for another season. and it's putting the conservative viewpoints of middle america right in the center of the conversation. how the show is incorporating america's current political divide.

factored into the revival. the political divide in the country is obviously working for her. >> obviously. a lot of people must have tuned in in part for the curiosity factor to see how the show would deal with the political divide because rosary in -- roseanne in real life is a trump supporter, and dealing with her sister jack whoa is anti-trump. i think that is part of why the show did so well in the ratings. people tuned in to see how they were treated. note that hollywood does not have many portrayals of trump supporters on sitcoms. >> it seems that it makes sense. the clinton democrats of the '90s in lanford this town there where they live, they naturally by the statistics would have shifted to potentially be trump supporters. >> yeah, definitely. and the "hollywood reporter" noted that the show really

overperformed in middle america in cities like tulsa and kansas city and cincinnati and pittsburgh. these sort of trump-supporting states. >> well, and one of the things people say in some capacity, it is relatable. disney abc president ben sherwood said this, people gather around and see themselves in this family. speaks to people in the country who don't see themselves on television very often. what is the impact of capturing, say, red state middle america? >> yeah, well i think -- yeah, abc designed this reboot to appeal to this area that they feel is underrepresented on tv. and i think it shows that the strategy has paid off based on the ratings. i think also broadcast networks are going to point to this rating and see that, hey, you know, even with netflix and amazon and hulu kind of getting into our area that appointment tv, the live broadcast sitcoms, still relevant.

>> so how is hollywood reacting? although there's a difference in opinion, 18.2 million viewers is something that let's say the other networks might want to get a little bit up. >> yeah. definitely. i think other networks would really like that. i think nbc and cbs are probably also very happy about this rating because it shows that, you know, this rating was the highest episode of the year aside from "this is us" right after the super bowl. and the show was just picked up for another season, "roseanne" was. its 11th overall. the other networks see this as a good sign. >> so here's my question -- how do you keep it fresh? how do they keep this momentum going after a huge success like this? where does the storyline go? >> yeah, definitely. i think will probably will see some decline in the ratings in the next episodes just because the curiosity factor wears off. i think that tends to happen. they said that they will continue to deal with some of the political issues.

they might deal with the opioid crisis, they might deal with health care. and you sort of saw some of the social issues come out in the first couple episodes new york stock exchange -- episodes. the grandparents, roseanne and dealing with a daughter who wants to be a surrogate mom and their tolerance are or intolerance of these issues. and so i think the show will continue to explore these political and social issues. >> all right. always good to have you here. thank you. still ahead, you've got to see this, this terrifying touchdown for a pilot in florida, landed nose first. we'll tell you how this happened. ♪ most people come to la with big dreams. ♪ we came with big appetites. with expedia, you could book a flight,
