real, those videos are real. >> it's clear. look how effusive your emotion is. >> i rarely get this emotional. >> this is crazy. you're blowing my mind here. anderson, i'm right there with you. everybody shows it in different ways. i'm just sitting here basking in your light, brother. basking in your light. anderson, have a good night. i am chris cuomo. welcome to prime time. we have two big voices tonight making a lot of waves as they take on two of america's biggest most systemic and intractable problems. racism and gun violence. chelsea handler is here and so is beto o'rourke in just moments. so what do you say? let's get after it. president trump seems to have a new scapegoat for his own inaction on guns. guess who? >> hell, yes, we're going to take your a.r.-15, your a.k.-47. we're not going to allow it to

be used against fellow americans anymore. >> crowd loved it at the debate, but now the president is seizing on that moment from beto o'rourke, arguing it has thrown a torpedo in his gun reform talks. quote, dummy beto made it much harder to make a deal, convinced many that dems just want to take your guns away. will continue forward. o'rourke argues the only thing stopping us from ending this epidemic is the president and his, quote, cowardice. he is here exclusively to make the case. always a pleasure. >> thank you, chris, for having me on. >> let's state the proposition. are you, in fact, in favor of gun confiscation? >> yes, when it comes to ar-15s and ak-47s, weapons designed for use on a military battlefield. the high imact, high velocity

surround fired from those weapons when it hits your body expends all its kinetic energy destroying everything inside. and i've met those who survived fire from ak-47. i've met those who lost a family member. that belongs on the battlefield and does not belong in this country. so when it comes to those weapons, chris, the answer is yes. but when it comes to firearms used for hunting or self-defense the answer is no. and i don't want you or anyone else to get into the fear mongering that have fallen prey to saying the government is going to come and take all of your guns. what we are talking uabout exclusively are weapons of war and should remain on the batt d battledfield. >> we'll talk law first and then politics. it's not about fear mongering. you said you're going to confiscate guns. i don't think you can do it. the heller case makes it pretty

clear there's an individual right to own. and i don't think we've seen the government do a private taking of property like you're suggesting. i'm repeating what you're saying. >> so you listen to a justice like antonen scalia, and even he found that there is no absolute guarantee under the second amendment and the government does have the power to regulate those weapons extraordinarily unusual or deadly. and an ar-15 or an ak-47 like the one used in el paso, and i'm grateful you came to el paso and some of those victims yourself, in under three minutes 22 people were killed, dozens more grievously injured. >> nobody will argue with you with the unique capability of these weapons, what has been

experienced in this country is horrible. you and i stood next to each other at one. i have been to dozens so i get you on that. bebut just to be clear on the law and i'll get with you on the politics, but on the law he said, yes, you can have regulations but remember what they struck down. you couldn't even tell people how to store their weapons, disassemble, and he says weapons in common usage get the protection of an individual right. an ar-15, good, bad or indifferent is the most commonly owned in the country. >> yeah. chris, i'm willing to fight that one all the way to the end because it is not common. it is unusual. and no one in this country including owners of ar-15s and ak-47s think what is happening right now is okay. they also have kids in school who are afraid it's not a matter of if but when someone is going to walk into their school with a weapon designed for war and take

their lives. we cannot tine to live like this. and those young people, those kids are especially aren't standing for it. you listen to march for our lives formed by stoneman douglas and they as well are talking about a mandatory buy back, as well as licensing and registration. and you've probably seen this, a majority of americans and that's not democrats, democrats, republicans, independents, our fellow americans want to see this happen. and through the power of law. >> not consfisication. >> by their members in congress ware going to sign this into law. >> that's fine, you want to fight it, fight it. you have a more conservative court now than you did back in 2008. but that's the law. politics. nobody is asking for confiscation the way you are. in fact, beto, you've never asked for it before like you are now. are you doing this to make a name for yourself in a very

liberal field? are you saying beto is the farthest left on this issue? >> all across texas in 2017 and 2018 all of those 258 counties no matter how big or small, how red or blue i was talking about an assault weapons ban and a lot of people said look that's not politically convenient, it's not politically smart to do in a gun owning state like ours. but i also know texas is a responsible gun owning state. and after what i witnessed ipel paso, what we saw in midland, odessa, sutherland springs, those are three mass shootings of war in just one state. i can no longer state the conclusion if this gun isn't right to sell it's also unfit to own. each and every single one of them is a potential instrument of terror. you saw it in el paso. they walk around they tell me

with a target on their back. knowing there are people who are better armed against them than some folks are on the battlefield on the front line that strikes terror into their hearts. >> i'm with you. people are scared, they want a change. just to be clear, banning them, an assault weapons ban which supposedly the democrats may be meeting about some time soon is different than confiscating weapons out there already. it certainly sent shock waves through and i want to ask you this, people want more protection. but what you said plays right to the heart of fear of people who don't want to give on any of this. they're working a deal hard. i've been talking to the democrats involved in it. they thought they were getting somewhere. they don't feel you helped because you played into the fear of a slippery slope. universal background checks, red flag laws, fixing knicks, making it more info shared.

they may not get it done if people are worried about confiscation. >> listen, if they have made some progress already i might buy that argument, but many of those democrats are complicit in what we see right now. i mean the republicans are the most obstininate and obstructionist. here we are in 2019 and we still don't have universal background checks or red flag laws or we allow the assault weapons ban to expire even though it did so much good and saved so many lives. this old policy and tactic of relying on polls and allowing the nra to set the debate no longer works for me and our country. listen to every day americans including gun owners who are approaching me and saying, listen, beto, i own an ar-15, i don't need it to hunt, for self-defense, i would gladly give it up.

i have kids and grandkids in school. i'm worried about them more than i am about holding onto this weapon of war. the american people are there. that urgency just needs to be reflected in their leadership in congress. it will be reflected when i'm in the white house. >> last question, if you were to get into power whatever the office and someone said i'll give universal background checks, even private transfers and we'll do the red flag law and fix knicks and talk about a next step what we went allow to bhee sold anymore but no confiscation, will you take the deal? >> yes, universal background checks absolutely will save lives. red flag laws will do the same and too end the sale of weapons of war. but let's also be intellectually honest with one another. and if there's harm in selling them, then there's harm in the fact that 15 million of them exist out there and any one of them at any time can be turned against us and this is what i

truly fear against our kids. and if we're going to acknowledge that then we also have the acknowledge we're going to do something about it. absolutely necessary if we're going to save the lives of our fellow americans, and that's what i'm most toque sfocused on. >> look, everybody knows the problem. it's all just a search for a solution. beto o'rourke, thank you very much for making your case on our show. i appreciate it. >> thank you. we have some breaking news on our watch. that big intel community whistle-blower complaint, we have new information for it right after this break. let's get down to business.

committee chair adam schiff. now we're learning what that complaint may be about. this comes from "the washington post." it includes communication between the president and a foreign leader. the sourcing is two former u.s. officials familiar with the matter, that this was about a phone call that the president had with a foreign leader -- i'm going through it as i tell you about it just to be careful about it. and the process is as we understood it. somebody who knew about this phone call was concerned enough about the president making what they term a promise that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the u.s. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general for the intelligence community. so here's where it gets sticky.

if the i.g. -- here's the law since watergate. if the inspector general finds something to reach a certain level of what they call urgent concern, they are supposed to turn it over to congressional oversight committees. house intel would be the logical place for something intelligence related, especially in light of the tacit agreement after watergate whereby congress agreed with the intelligence community to handle confidential national security security information in a certain way, hence what you got with the gang of eight, only certain leaders will get certain sensitivities. let's assume it's true with who? that's not in here. let's bring in phil mudd. they try to track whom he had spoken with. this complaint was filed with atkinson's office, that's the

inspector general, august 12th. in the preceding weeks they have him talking -- they have him on a call with vladimir putin on july 31st, talking with at least two letter with kim jong un, maybe meeting with the leader of pakistan, netherlands and amir of qatar. somebody says they heard something as an intel official that troubled them enough to lodge a formal complaint to the i.g. how unusual? >> boy, i'm about ready to blow a gasket. that is extremely unusual and i listened to presidential phone calls under george w. bush in 2001. can you explain to me, a, why

it's the u.s. intelligence community's responsibility to listen to the president of the united states speaking to a foreign leader and, b, why did the u.s. intelligence community under the rules provided by the democrats in congress are responsible to report to the congress what the president of the united states says. last i checked, chris, when i served, we were responsible for chasing the russians, the chinese, the iranians and terrorists we're not responsible for reporting to the congress what the president says. he can say what he wants, chris. >> so you don't like that somebody snitched on the president. >> correct. the question if you have a whistleblower issue in the intelligence community might be is somebody misusing funds. for example, is somebody seeing something about covert action overseas, cia operations overseas that's inappropriate. for example, when i was in the business, we ran black sites, secret facilities. about somebody see something that was not only unethical and immoral -- >> in-house policing? >> correct.

not what did the president say? >> hold on a second. what if he did say something to a foreign leader that sounded like a promise that went over the line enough that somebody of good conscience said he's not supposed to say things like this. >> what the heck is over the line? the president can say what he wants to putin, he can say what he wants to kim jong un. you can say i'm going to meet you in the demilitarized zone. the president can say what he wants. it's not the responsibility of the intel guys to go police the president and go snitch on him to the congress. ridiculous. and now i understand. i didn't two hours ago. now i understand why a former decorated seal maguire, the head of the intel committee was reluctant. why does he have to go report on what the president says? >> well, if they have an agreement, a rule structure in place that if a complaint reaches an urgent concern level to the inspector general that congress gets to see it, the

obvious mechanism here is checks and balances. >> i don't agree with that. >> somebody's got to check power, right? >> i don't agree with that. i think inspectors general, by the cia and fbi are excellent, we despise them because they're so tough. i want to ask why is it the responsibility of the intelligence community guys got a complaint of what the president said and we the intel guys have to report to congress on what's going on in the white house. they report on north korea and iran, not if a president wants to make a promise to a foreign leader. i am ticked off. this is completely inappropriate. the congress should not be asking the intel guys to go snitch on the president. no. >> what is the mechanism for policing the white house? >> quit. can you talk to the media if you want, write a book if you want. if you don't like what the president does, whether you're secretary of defense, national security adviser, rex tillerson, you go quit.

you don't go say well i have a secret avenue to the congress that in my view is inappropriate to explain why the intel guys have to collect intelligence on the president. exactly, by the way, exactly what the president alleges happened during the campaign. the intel guys are collecting on me, a politician. that's not what the intel guys do. >> unless they have reasonable suspicion. >> suspicion of what, chris? >> hold on. remember when trump was talking to medvedev and remember the right was reasonably worried, what the hell does that mean? why's he saying something like that? there was curiosity. what was he planning, what was he thinking? there was a need for checks and balances, oversight. they wanted to dig. was that wrong? >> there's a difference between saying does the congress have the right to ask the white house questions have to right to critique to white house on political issues and engagement

between foreign leaders. there's a difference between that and the intelligence oversight committee saying you have a responsibility to report to us you the intel guys when you think, you think the president does something inappropriate that's not illegal. the president can make promises overseas. that's not illegal. it might be inappropriate. good luck to adam schiff and others to go hold the white house to account. not for the intel guys to report on the white house. >> but if they don't give read outs of the calls, how else would anyone know what's being said? >> why would they give read outs on the calls? the president has a right to talk to foreign leaders without the congress knowing everything he says. that's different than saying did he do something that broke the law. that's different. did he do something that violated regulations on how you conduct intelligence activities? if the president wants to tell kim jong-un or president putin here i promise you this and it's not illegal, i don't know why the intel guys -- >> i hear you and i appreciate the analysis. i'm saying i guess the open

question for both of us is what did he say? why did it concern this person enough to lodge the complain, and does it go to what your threshold is it a violation of the law? >> the question is did the individual heard something he was so offended by he felt he needed to report or did he hear something he thought reached the threshold of illegal. i would still & the question why did the intel guys have to report that, why doesn't he report that through another channel? >> i hear you. >> i'm going to take a deep breath. >> i thought you were going to pass out. you all know chelsea handler. she does not mind testing the edge even if it makes people uncomfortable. in fact, she's hoping to do just that with her brand new project and particularly hopes the president will watch. the comedian, activist, new documentary maker here next.

white privilege. you've become familiar with the phrase. you hear it on the show a lot. it's somewhat of a cultural flash point, certainly during the trump era, debates about race, class, politics, culture. they're all intensifying. so it is in that environment that comedian chelsea handler comes to the show tonight. she decided to tackle it. new netflix documentary, hello privilege it's me, chelsea. here's a taste. >> and i'm really eager to have a conversation about what it is i can know more about and to illuminate to people who are not

of color what it means to be of color in this country. >> feel free to edit this out, but cause i'm like really embarrassed to be here with you because this is just another example of white privilege, using your white privilege and what are you going to do with it other than come into this space and take? >> chelsea handler, thank you for coming onto the show. welcome. >> nice to meet you. >> not easy as a subject, not easy position for you either in that room with college kids, the other places and spaces you've found yourself in. what surprised you most? >> the inability for white people to admit to white privilege because what i think i discovered and i think i read a line somewhere that says equality to those who have had it feels like a loss. so if you admit you are a beneficiary of white privilege that means to a lot of people i have to start sacrificing things

and i have to start giving something up. so that really stuck with me when i thought about it in that way. and thought what would i be willing to give up? would i give away my house, my money, everything away in the name of equality. and it made me think about all the things i've done in my career that haven't bip that thoughtful, that i've just kind of cashed checks and taken opportunities because they were available to me. and never really thinking how did i get where i am, what is responsible for that? does my color of skin have to play a part in it, and it absolutely does. i thought white privilege was something over there, you know, for rich families that wept to harvard and yale, you know, the rock fellers that type of thing. i didn't think it applied to me because my father was a used car dealer. it completely applied to me. >> very important story about your own life and your boyfriend. he got mixed up with drugs, you would be stopped by police.

you would have the drugs, he would take the collar. >> he got arrested three times. i was let go by the police all three times. we were together. and then through that he was put in the system and not able to get out of it. yes, he made poor choices. >> he's african-american. >> yes. they were looking for him to make a mistake and they were looking to let me off the hook for making a mistake. and i was at the time i was 16, i didn't care or think about that. i just thought, whatever, this sucks. but i didn't have the consciousness to actually think about what that meant. and his whole life was ruined and derailed. and yes, he's in the documentary and i go and meet with him and we talk about his life and he's obviously out of jail now and he's doing much better. but, you know, i think a lot of us take our lives for granted because why wouldn't we? we don't have anything to compare it it to when you grow up white and privileged. and it is a privilege to get pulled over and not worry if it's going to be a life or death

situation. >> true. people can identify the problem. we were talking as a team about the documentary before. kudos to you. it you were to ask people, white people of any type, and let's be honest whites aren't a monolith. you can have someone living in the ozarks right for you. do you believe african-americans are systemically treated unequally? >> yes. >> you get 85%, 90% would say yes. when you turn it, though, and say do you realize you are to blame for blame for problems they have, that's when you get the -- from people. one, people don't like it. second one is not all have the same experience. some of them are like i had to jach and claw to get where i am. like you were saying, i'm not a rockefeller. >> yes, people have tough lives. it's not that everyone that's white gets a unicorn in their

driveway and sails off to college to have this cush life. but if a black person and a white person ran out of grocery store the probability is they're going to go after the black person. but that's not what this is about. this is about recognizing that so many people are being discriminated against in so many levels, and while anyone's being d discriminated against someone is winning off that. someone is a beneficiary of that. so it's about laying the table out and starting the conversation. obviously, i don't have the solutions for people to how to fix racism but i want to be talking about it. and i think white people can afford to be a little uncomfortable with their conversations and get real about treating people equally. you know, we owe people that honesty, and we owe people to show up to tough conversations. i mean, saying i don't want to get involved or i don't want to have a difficult conversation,

we don't have time for that anymore. let's get real and let's be honest. and that's the way forward. once you admit something is happening, then at least we can work together stto start to fix it. >> this coming in the meat of the trump era. he is delivering this message 180 degrees from where you are. he's saying they want to punish you for being one, that diversity to the radical left means we're going to redistribute money and opportunity on the basis of color and situation, and white people have to lose in that. he's doing that at the same time that you're asking white people own that you're a part of this problem and how to deal with it. >> but he's a perfect example of white privilege. let's keep other people down so we keep winning, so i can keep filling my own pockets. at a certain point if you really want equality you have to be okay with other people succeeding. that's what it's all about. and he and the republican party at this point are all about no

one succeeding except for them. that's all they care about is money. i mean, we have children going into schools who are unsafe. there are guns -- the nra is running the republican party. yes, that is white priv -- it's like the pinnacle of white privilege. i don't talk about him too much in the documentary because it's nauseating. >> but the message and timing is going to wind up putting you as a point of contrast to what's going on in the administration. >> obviously there are huge cross currents happening. we have an administration that's trying to roll back womens rights and then we have a movement like the womens march. we have the legalization of cannabis throughout the country which by the way your brother promised to legalize cannabis this year. where is it? >> in the legislator. >> he's got to hurry-up. don't make empty promises. cannabis is a game changer. >> do you remember me promising to get rid of cannabis? >> no, no, your brother.

>> that's not me. >> but that's your brother, you can talk to him. just keep it in the family. >> tell your sister to talk to my brother. the point is this, change is hard. things are complicated. >> it is hard buts it's good good. >> that's when it's almost like i'll take cannabis, you talk to police chiefs around this state. that's what the motivating the change. they're saying we're getting suffocated with these cases. help us prosecute cases with a punitive value. however, with what you're tackling here there's no easy answer. it's not about legalizing something that's now illegal. it's not about stream lining a system in a way that will make it more inequitable than it is right now. and on top of it we haven't figured out how to answer the question you're asking, which is you need to look at your role in the situation. you got a lot of push back in the documentary and confusion.

you know, well, i don't know about it. it's either ignorance or veiled ignorance or people uncomfortable being made to blame for something they don't see themselves as to blame for. sticky business. >> very sticky business, i would agree with that. but i think we owe it to the entire -- like our entire country to have a little bit more compassion and a little bit more empathy for everything we've done as a country. it doesn't matter if i was here during the time or not or if my ancestors were responsible, it matters that it happened and we owe all of the entire african-american community, we owe our voices to. so anybody who's not onboard with that, then you really need to think about what your priorities are. >> one of the african-american women in the documentary summed it up very well. she said you guys to talk to yourselves about this to become comfortable with the idea of finding a solution. it's not about telling white people this is on you, you're to

blame. it's for white people and people who have advantage to figure out how to make things fair, coming from a positive place. not about blame, not about negativity. i think she had it right and i think you're asking provocative questions in the documentary. >> thank you. i think white privilege is a white peoples problem, a white persons problem and it's up to us to find solutions to that problem. >> for no other reason, white people are in most of the power positions. so if there's going to be change they're going to have something to do with it. >> it's always a pleasure. >> the pleasure's mine. >> cannabis, let's go, new york. >> not now, though. all right, that is the documentary for you to watch. "hello privilege, it's me chelsea," right now on netflix. you can get it. let's take a break. and then we have a sear of new red flags for president trump's re-election bid. the new numbers from the wizard of odds next.

new numbers, very different picture in the democratic race for president. but the president may want to keep a close eye on the bigger numbers that go back decades. this is about perspective. this is about relativity and therefore nobody beats the wiz. the wizards of odds harry henton is here. this is the fox poll. very different numbers than nbc. >> at least in the democratic race. so biden is actually about the

same, 29 he was at 31 in the nbc news poll. the big difference here is warren is only at 16. she's actually down in this poll and sanders is up in second place at 18%. of course the rest of these, you know, whatever. but it's an interesting number which i think gives you an idea at this point what we can really say about the democratic race is joe biden steady about 30% and these two basically fighting for second place. >> it's the big three. first we have all of the main people are beating him by at least 6 except for harris. so now you show us why that's relevant over time. >> why is that relevant over time. carter, reagan, bush, clinton, bush and obama, all of them were either losing by 5 points or winning essentially. so at this particular point donald trump is polling worse than any incombpt versus his probable democratic nominees.

any incumbent since -- >> now, people will say well they had trump losing to clinton too and he won so -- >> well, i got the news for you. look at this poll. this is back in 2015, september at this exact moment, clinton was leading trump by only two. that was the exact margin. trump is in worse position this point than he was at this point back in 2015. and something interesting harry told me about this poll for all the numbers beating trump 46%-40% people said people being polled says he wins. here's something to ponder. why is this president really taking away some of california's freedom to protect the planet? it's a special. don't be a sucker, my friends. next. you've had quite the career.

...and choose any car in the aisle. and i don't wait when i return, thanks to drop & go. at national, i can lose the wait...and keep it off. looking good, patrick. i know. (vo) go national. go like a pro. . setting stricter air pollution standards by ensuring cars get more miles per gallon is a terrible idea says this

president. so he's taking away california's ability to do just that. this president says his move will make cars less expensive and make you safer. he says new cars will be extremely environmentally friendly and he says his weaker standard will create jobs, jobs, jobs. my argument is, don't be a sucker. this is a high octane hit job. it is really about this president wanting to undo obama reforms and not liking california suing him over his anti-climate science and anti-immigrant disposition. some background. the president is using a lot of horsepower to roll back fuel economy standards for cars across the country as part of this obama undoing. his administration has rolled back 53 environmental regulations so far. another 32 are under way.

he's withdrawing from the paris accord, loosening rules on greenhouse gases and methane, revoking rules protecting water from pollution and considering oil and gas drilling in national parks. things that affect your air, your water, your parks, your safety. so he sees enemies in states, including california, that have been realizing the obvious need for efficiency and responsible car-building. 13 states plus d.c. have adopted california's rules. that's a lot of cars. the irony is california started setting its own standards to combat pollution under the leadership of governor ronald reagan. >> during the administration of ronald reagan, you felt proud to be an american. i evolved just like ronald reagan evolved. >> not that proud, i guess. and not that evolved, unless you believe the more inefficient a car is, the better. so here are the facts.

trump says reducing standards will make cars cheaper. not really. maybe the initial cost would come down, but a consumer reports analysis says it will end up costing you $3,300 more per vehicle because you're going to be paying more for gas. second, trump says lives will be saved because with lower car prices, more people will trade in old cars and buy new cars. but epa staffers say the administration trumped up the numbers, overestimating how many people would buy new cars because of removing efficiency standards. the most trumpy claim is that making cars less efficient will be good for the environment. he offers no proof because it's absurd. pollution from tailpipes is the number one source of greenhouse gas emissions in the u.s. lastly, the president says this will create jobs. wrong. again, he should look to his own administration.

an environmental adviser picked by former epa chief scott pruitt put it in stark terms. 236,000 fewer jobs will be created by 2035 under trump's frozen standards than if obama-era standards stayed intact. why? innovation drives production and demand. any clear mind that embraces the facts must see that this is a power play, not a play for the people. his rollback is so wack that even big-name carmakers are against it -- ford, honda, volkswagen, bmw. they've all already agreed to maintain higher fuel efficiency standards. bottom line, he is trying to get california to fall in line with his warped notion that helping the environment is somehow un-american, that pushing for progress that means less coal and fossil fuels, that that's bad for workers in those spaces, and that means it's bad for us overall.

somewhere the spirit of ned ludd is smiling because not since the luddites in england have we seen a rejection of technological advancement like this. our cars have never been faster, more powerful, or more efficient. that's because technology takes us forward. america is always striving to be first, not fighting for ways to be the worst. so, my brothers and sisters, when you hear this pitch, don't be a sucker. all right. when we come back, bolo. be on the lookout this time for some people who may try to mess with my favorite movie of all time. a taste. >> you can die too for all i care. >> as you wish. >> oh, my sweet westley, what have i done? >> oh! and as true love would, she throws herself down and tumbles, tumbles, but ever so eloquently. how could they do this to "the princess bride," next.

>> you've made your decision then? >> not remotely because iocane comes from australia as everyone knows and australia is entirely people with criminals. and criminals are used to having people not trust them as you are not trusted by me. so i can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. >> truly you have a dizzying intellect. >> wait till i get going. >> little did he know that wesley had been building up a resistance to iocane powder for the past five years. did you hear they may remake "the princess bride"? inconceivable. the ceo of sony pictures told "variety ft. that some, quote, very famous people want to remake the classic. it makes me wonder if he has

been dipping into the iocane powder himself, knocked senseless by the fire pits. i mean has he studied his agrippa, which i have. now, let's be clear. lots of movies get remade. and let's be clear, they often suck and sully the original. can we take that chance with something a generation loves so much, it was committed to memory? to paraphrase wesley as cary elwes did himself, there is a shortage of perfect movies in this world. it would be a pity to destroy this one. this prospect makes as much sense as getting involved in a land war in asia. and just in case this idea is only mostly dead, may i remind that the only overwhelming power in this world is true love, and people truly love this movie in its original form. and if it goes forward, join me in this pledge. my name is chris cuomo. you remake my movie, prepare to die. well, not die, but make me very salty. let's bring in d. lemon, who dares not mock my pain. >> you're going to be mad at me. i've never really seen it.

>> what? just when i thought you couldn't disappoint me any more. >> i've seen clips of it, but, nah, it's not my thing. i mean, i prefer "blazing saddles" or "history of the world." no, it's just not -- i've never been -- look, i just saw "robocop" for the first time i think yesterday, so you're asking the wrong person. but i've never seen -- i shouldn't be so absolute. there are very few remakes that live up to the original. >> i have to be honest. i stopped listening to you. >> yeah, well, that's okay. >> you have to watch the movie. >> i'll watch it. >> has tim seen it? >> i don't know. you'll have to ask him. you have his number. call him up. text him. >> you have to watch the movie. you will find it hilarious. >> okay. i'll watch it. >> and endearing. >> i asked them, i said, what is chris talking about at the end of the show? they said, he's talking about "the princess bride." i'm like, is that a disney -- and then, yeah, sorry.
