tv Erin Burnett Out Front CNN September 25, 2013 7:00pm-8:00pm EDT
7:00 pm
was worth while? >> the debate continues online. join us tomorrow for another edition of "crossfire." erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. senator ted cruz's talk lasted 21 hours. plus, the president of iran takes people by storm. and the latest from the mall shooting in kenya. investigators believe there was a mit i can lu-- a meticulous plot. the fbi is on the scene tonight. let's go "outfront."
7:01 pm
>> good evening. "outfront," heroic marathon man or epic time waster. one or the other. there he is pretty dapper, i have to say, after 21 hours. senator ted cruz finally stopped talking. now granted he hadn't had a chance to sleep or shower or change. he looked pretty good. but it was at times confusing, at times amusing and always controversial. dana bash is "outfront." >> reporter: after 21:19, standing on his feet, ted cruz finally sat down. much of his talkathon was against obamacare. >> it is a red herring. >> reporter: the memorable moments were those that veered off topic. >> i wanted to take an tunnel. an tunn an opportunity that i don't usually have when i'm in washington, d.c. to read them a couple bedtime stories. i do so like green eggs and ham.
7:02 pm
>> reporter: he tried his own dr. seuss. >> they did not like obamacare with a box and a fox. >> reporter: this was all about firing up the grassroots. he encouraged supporters to tweet him. >> obamacare. ain't nobody got time for that. all caps and three exclamation marks. make d.c. listen. >> reporter: most republicans oppose cruz' mission, trying to defunld obamacare on a must-pass spending bill themselves worry it could cause a government shutdown and they could get the blame. and they worry it is mired in the process. in the enhe joined all senators in voting for a procedural measure he seemed to argue against. by 1:00 a.m., he got punchy. >> a few words of wisdom from duck dynasty. red neck rule number one. most things can be fix with duct tape, extension cords. >> reporter: when the sun came up, even more so. will confess phrase of
7:03 pm
rebellion, the rebel alliance fighting against empire. mike lee. i am your father. >> how do you feel standing there so long? >> to be honest, i feel terrific. i feel energized the. the american people had an opportunity i hope to engage in this debate and to have their voice heard. >> reporter: back on the floor, cruz was scorched from all sides. democrats -- >> for lack of a better way of describing this, it has been a big waste of time. >> reporter: and republicans. john mccain was furious that cruz likened gop detractors to britain's neville chamberlain who argued for appeasement of adolphin hitler. >> why? we can't possibly stand against him. in america there were voices. >> mccain said that insulted americans who fought. >> among them were my father and grandfather. i do not agree with that
7:04 pm
comparison. i think it is wrong. and i think it is a disservice to those who stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs that we cannot appease. >> dissension within the party. seriousness and a lot of high schooler. you said he felt energized. i'm sure he hit a wall when the truth hit him. what happens now? >> reporter: the process has to finish in the senate. you saw that the vote was 100-0 today so senator cruz voted for something he was saying for 21 hours he was against. presumably he will vote against and it the next procedural measure, if this is could not because thing, that's why republican leaders hate this strategy. so at the end of the day we expect this to finish up in the senate. probably on 48. that puts the shutdown hot potato back in the house's plate for about three days before the deadline. i'm hearing from there that they plan to change it a little bit, second it back to the senate.
7:05 pm
it will go right back. it will go right down to the wire. >> obviously an embarrassment for everybody involved on all sides. we've been downing the days since america lost that aaa rating, 781 days for those of you who are keeping track. but the risk of a major crisis actually gets bigger. shutdown or not, right? >> reporter: absolutely. the treasury secretary said today united states will reach that debt ceiling october 17th. that is just around the corner. and even as early as this saturday, the house is likely to work on some kind of bill that would raise the debt ceiling for a year. guess what? they will attach all kinds of things on it. obamacare, delaying that for a year is a possibility. passing the key stone pipeline, dealing with tax reform, putting instructions in there and even at the white house, the spokesman there, jay carney said, we're not negotiating on the debt ceiling. so right there you will have a
7:06 pm
collision course as you said, something that is perhaps even more problematic, dire for the economy than the government shutdown. >> absolutely. dana bash, the only one who understands all of this and puts it into english for us. thank you, dana. our second story "outfront." a dove or a wolf in sleep's clothing? a crucial question for the world. iran's new president, hasan rouhani taking world by storm holding meetings with the french. talking nice but snubbing the president of the united states who was willing to meet him. "outfront," the man representing iran's long time enemy and america's closest ally in the middle east, israel's ambassador to the united states, michael orrin is with me. a new iran, one willing to negotiate on nukes.
7:07 pm
is he the real deal some a dove? >> thanks for having me. what was in his speech was peaceful or dove-like, we don't get it. he called the united states a warmonger. he made no concessions on his nuclear program. talked about israel as, did not even mention israel but mention that had palestine was occupied meaning israel has no rights to exist. i saw no do have at all. >> piers: you've seen the headlines. i'll give you a couple of them. he recognized the holocaust as crime against jews. and then calling it reprehensible crime against jews. and that was after his position on the holocaust. i wanted to plate for you so you could really hear and it hear the nuance. here it is. >> i've said before that i am not an historian. when it come to speaking of the dimensions of the holocaust, it is the historian that's should reflect on it. but in general, i can tell you
7:08 pm
that any crime that happens in history against human an including the crime the nazis committed toward the jews as well as nonjews is reprehensible and condemnable. whatever criminality they committed against the jews, we condemn. >> is that admitting the holocaust to you? >> i'll say that it is a pretty low bar, erin, when iranians stop denying the holocaust and people get excited about it. i am an historian by training and i know that the iranian regime has a more than 30-year history of supporting terrorists around the world. they've conducted terrorist attacks in 25 countries. in this city, in washington, d.c., they try to blow up a straunl not far from where i'm interviewing right now. they helped to massacre over 100,000 of their own people. they've suppressed the iranian people who protested for
7:09 pm
democracy. this is not a regime you want to see get its hands on a nuclear weapon. >> the congressman scheduled to speak on the last day of the meeting tuesday. we all remember the speech last year, right? the famous speech where he had a crude but very powerful drawing of a bomb and then there he is with the magic marker drawing a red line. this became an iconic moment. do you think the president of iran, rouhani, and of course, the supreme leader are still moving ahead full steam with what you believe are plan for a nuclear weapon? >> let's look at the evidence, erin. rouhani was elected several months ago. in those several months, he has continued to defy security resolutions themselves continue to enrich, to install centrifuge that can enrich at five times the amount. they continue to deny international inspectors access to sensitive sites, suspicious sites. would you trust them? does that seem like a regime
7:10 pm
that is on the verge of negotiating for a, to remove its nuclear program? >> look, you put those facts out there. you know, there are people who think this is a problem, right? they'll maybe say one thing and do another. i want to ask you about how the israelis have handled this so far. last night the embassy sent out a tweet. how would @hasan rouhani's page look? his skills you list weapons of mass destruction, ballistics and military justice. on one level it is a little funny. i'll be honest with you, it feels a little immature. do you think this is an appropriate way to deal with or presented with what you're presenting to me as a life or death situation? >> we have to keep in mind that for us, this is very much a life
7:11 pm
and death situation. and that a lot of people out there who are expressing optimism when rouhani stops denying that iran denies the holocaust. and that for us is anything but a joke. that's deadly serious. >> thank you very much. always a pleasure talking to you, sir. >> to you, too. still to come, will you go and he disturbing new footage from the navy yard shooting that we just have tonight. releasing video showing aaron alexis walking through the halls with a sawed off shotgun looking for victim. plus a high school teacher got 31 days for raping a student. he is set to be released. and the u.s. post office is in financial disaster. at least he admits the truth. and bill clinton gets payback. >> your daughter just inform me, all of us, that you do a pretty good bono impression. this is your chance, mr.
7:13 pm
help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, where experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger.

[ crows ] now where's the snooze button? new video have to navy yard shooter. the fbi releasing a disturbing and ugly video of aaron alexis as he walked through the hall ways of the washington navy yard with a sawed off shotgun. he massacred 12 people in the shooting massacre before being killed by police. the fbi says he acted alone and was under the delusional belief that he was being controlled by electromagnetic waves. out front we show you this video. it is hard to watch this. but joe johns is out front.
7:16 pm
>> reporter: the fbi released gripping silent surveillance video of aaron alexis as he drives in in his rented prius. he enters building 197 ready for a rampage that killed 12 people before he was shot down. >> there are indicators that alefls was prepared to die during the attack. and that he accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions. >> reporter: you see him carrying his bag, hidden inside a sawed off remmington 870 which he removed in the bathroom. photos released "today" show the bag he left behind. 22 minutes after drove in, surveillance picks him up in the hall. he readies his weapon hunting people. you see him move downstairs and make his way along another hall as people flee down a connecting hallway. in the ten days the since the shooting, a sharper picture of is emerging of what drove alexis. >> there are multiple indicators
7:17 pm
that he health the belief that he was being controlled or influenced by extremely low frequency or e.l.f., electromagnetic waves. >> reporter: the fbi released photos of his gun with an apparent reference to the magnetic waves carved into the handle. my e.l.f. weapon. on the barrel, the words, end the tomorrow. and the investigation into the mental illness that spawned the shooting will continue, agents said they found writings by alexis that explained in plain language why he said he did it. >> a document retrieved from the electronic media stated, quote, ultra low frequency attack is what i've been subject to for the last three months. and to be perfectly honest, that is what has driven me to this. >> reporter: investigators don't believe he targeted specific people in his 60-minute killing spree. we're told there's more graphic surveillance video than what was made public but authorities decided not to release it. for outfront, i'm joe johns in
7:18 pm
washington. the money and power of the post office. the u.s. postal service has proposed a three cent rate increase to the price of a foot class stamp today. now it will be 49 cents. the postmaster general believes it is a necessary step to combat what he calls a financial disaster. he is right about that. but 3 cents won't fix it. last year the post office lost $16 billion, three time what it lost the year before. a pretty meltdownish situation. and it is now staring down more than $50 billion in debt obligations. and guess what, tiny stamp price hikes don't work. it has been tried and failed so many time. since 2005 the price has gone up 9 cents. while the post office' total mail volume has plunged 25%. all the rate hikes in the world of a penny or two here and there won't make a difference if peel aren't sending letters anymore. the truth is the post office as a business model doesn't work.
7:19 pm
and general store's hardware stores, even bars offer mail service. why not try that here, too? you can't send alcohol through the mail in a lot of states but could you drink it. instead of relying on incremental rate increases every year which is like boiling a frog, why not sell beer with live music? it will help pass the time in those lines on tax day. the white house has been brewing its own beer for years. no joke. why not let the post office do the same? who wouldn't want to go post ale? would you save the post office? if so, how. still to come, we're learning new details about the kenyan massacre. this attack was meticulously planned. we're finding out tonight. plus, samsung making a huge announcement today. and hundreds of wealthy space travelers gather in the desert to get a glimpse of their spaceship. we'll show what you $250,000 per
7:20 pm
seat a flight gets you. the exclusive. my customers can shop around-- see who does good work and compare costs. it doesn't usually work that way with health care. but with unitedhealthcare, i get information on quality rated doctors, treatment options and estimates for how much i'll pay. that helps me, and my guys, make better decisions. i don't like guesses with my business, and definitely not with our health. innovations that work for you. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare.
7:21 pm
7:22 pm
7:23 pm
7:24 pm
celebrities and rich people who have paid a quarter of a million for one seat. >> reporter: who would spend up to a quarter million dollars just for minutes in space? >> seeing the spaceship here is absolutely mindblowing. >> it's about the journey. >> reporter: these people, more than 600, have signed on. >> how much to charter one of these puppies? >> $1.2 million. >> and i hear you're going on leave two seats empty? so it is just the family. >> there are two angels coming with us. >> reporter: passengers won't just check in and hop on board. the whole experience will mean three days of training and health checks. then a few hours in the air and three minutes weightless in space. the mother ship will carry spaceship two up. then release it to glide back, unlike nasa's rockets, it won't orbit the earth. it is sir richard branson who is
7:25 pm
determined to take them there. >> is this the new space race? >> i think it is the start of it. a new space race. it has not been easy. it has taken us five years more than we thought it would take. but finally they pulled it off. >> reporter: that is if the faa gives galactic the green light. virgin says commercial launch is just months away. >> you're broaching out into a new field in the sky. and we're going to have some mishaps that happen now. hopefully they won't be catastrophic. >> reporter: do you ever fear that maybe you're putting too much at risk with this? >> people risk a lot to get space off the ground in the first place. but unless you risk something, the world stays still. >> reporter: branson is such a believer, he plans to take the first flight with his own children. david will be at the controls. >> we don't want to push too hard too quickly. it would be nice to be first to do it but the most important thing is to do it right.
7:26 pm
whoever is first has to do it right. >> reporter: what is your ultimate dream for this in. >> we'll start with giving people a taste of space. then we'll send people into on or aboutal flights. start building hotels in space. >> reporter: really. in our lifetime. >> and hopefully in my lifetime. >> reporter: will this ever be for the masses? >> reporter: is this for the wealthiest only? >> initially they will be the ones. through please people willing to be pioneers, i think millions of people will one day have the chance to go to space. >> reporter: like mikey who has a dream bigger than most. >> i want to be first into space. >> i don't have $200,000 but i have a dream. >> reporter: hoping he may get his moment among the stars. >> reporter: we certainly hope he does. i'll tell you industry watchers
7:27 pm
warn, this won't be affordable for the masses any time soon. when it come to sir richard branson, he is not alone in this game as you well know. the billionaire and his space x are neck in neck with virgin galactic. as for the bigger dream, he said get this. he wants to see point to point travel. something like new york to sydney, a commercial light in a few hours. as he dreamer and a pioneer. >> i would sign up for that one. thank you. still to come, the latest from the earthquake that killed more than 300 people. it was so powerful, it actually created a completely new island in an instant. new pictures of that tonight that we have just gotten for you. plus, five days after more than 60 people were massacred in the kenyan mall. the fbi is going in. we have an exclusive look on how the agency is investigating the terror attack tonight. and the disgraced captain of the costa concord i can't demanding a new investigation
7:28 pm
7:29 pm
7:30 pm
7:31 pm
7:32 pm
people actually went out on that island today. so you're looking at this. when you look at this, it is pretty incredible. it has beach. it has rock. this literally popped up out of the ocean in an instant. now, it may look solid but apparently, this is not land that anybody would want to claim. despite that you see people walking on it. the u.s. geological survey says it will erode in a year. in this case he says seismic waves likely passed through a mud volcano so it is unstable. or maybe like hawaii, some islands created by volcanos do last. a government watch dog has found a serious lack of oversight at the department of alcohol, tobacco and firearms. they just fnld a multiyear audit. it shows the atf lost track of 2.1 million cartons of cigarettes. in one instance, an informant was allowed to keep millions of dollars to cover expenses but he never submitted an expense report.
7:33 pm
the aft said it is inaccurate and has addressed the other concerns. samsung hot on apple's heels. at least trying to be. announcing a new version of the galaxy which come in gold/brown or gold/pink. not rabl in the u.s. but there you see it. this comes after the iphone was introduced and sold out. there will be a curved display. people are really hot and bothered about this. we were not able to ascertain what it means. does that mean it is bendable or what? they tell us even if the feet sursuccessful, it will add to but not transform samsung's fortune. and in our sixth story, a plan of attack. we are learning more and it is becoming very clear that a lot of planning was done ahead of the terror attack at the westgate mall in nairobi, ken i can't. this was not a sudden decision. not even a few days planned. it was much more significant
7:34 pm
than that. and based on intelligence it does not appear the attackers walked into the mall. instead they could have had access to the mall's blueprints which detailed emergency exits. investigators are also at whether the attackers rented a store in the mall and possibly hid their weapon inside before the attack. tonight the fbi has arrived in kenya and is ready to start combing through the wreckage. they just need permission from the government to go into the mall. they'll look for dna, finger prints, other evidence that will go back eventually to america's top secret bomb lab. that is ground zero. a facility that is expected to play a huge role in derrelling who was behind this horrible attack. barbara starr had exclusive access to the bomb lab and she is out front. >> reporter: it is just a fingerprint smudge on a piece of metal. but whose is it? cnn is the first news organization to see how analysts at america's bomb lab have help identify nearly 1,000 terrorists and members of al qaeda in 25
7:35 pm
countries since the 9/11 attacks. lifting fingerprints involves some of the most sensitive techniques. here, super glue vapors are blasted on to cell phone circuit boards from i.e.d.s. >> fumes are attaching to any fingerprints on the surface and then they form a plastic image over that finger principle. >> reporter: ultraviolet light picks up fine details. prints are gathered off documents. even food wrappers. i.e.d. parts gathered years nag iraq are checked for prints. the u.s. wants to see if any iraq refugees now in the u.s. may have ties to terrorism. and some do. two iraqi men, one was named alwan, were convicted of terrorism charges. the lab director shows me an evidence bag from one of their ieds in iraq.
7:36 pm
>> on this station, we found two fingerprints which we were able to identify back to the subject of the investigation. >> reporter: beyond using fingerprints -- the lab re-creates exploded bombs to help identify bomb makers. for the first time, you are seing new 3d images from ieds, looking at tiny details on clues on how the device was put together. here the components found in different parts of afghanistan, tires, metal and wood, match up exactly. this is the bomb maker's signature. >> there are obviously people teaching other people to make devices. >> reporter: one target, yemeni master bomb maker, believed to be behind several attacks and teaching others how to make bombs that cannot be caught by metal detectors. >> although there may be many
7:37 pm
people out, there every time we stop one, that is one less that we have to worry about. >> reporter: the lab has 100,000 boxes of evidence. every item is scrutinized as it comes in. with the hope that some clue will lead the experts to the bomb maker and save lives. for "outfront," barbara starr, washington. >> thanks to barbara. our seventh story "outfront," an italian court is calling for a new examination of the wrecked costa concordia. it has been rotting for months. the kampb is facing manslaughter charges for his role in killing 32 people. now the ship is upright. the captain think as tour of the cruiseliner's bridge and engine room will prove that he isn't to blame. this could delay trial which has taken a ridiculous amount of time for a lot longer. "outfront," captain, thank you for satisfying the time. let me ask you the basics here.
7:38 pm
obviously i don't understand all these issues. to me you have something sitting underwater for so long, that could really mess with your evidence. he claims the ship's water tight doors didn't function properly. that's the reason the ship sank and he is not to blame. is that situation possible? >> well, thank you for having me here, erin on. behalf of masters, mates and pilots, we appreciate being able to express it. the water tight doors are not the reason for the incident. it was a result of poor management in a bridge resource mode. the water tight doors in question close automatically and in fact, the decision of whether they are closed or not has an impact on the potential number of fatalities, because closing these doors would limit the egress of water into the hull. it does not have an impact on the decision to bring the vessel close to shore with no valid reason.
7:39 pm
>> but to his point, so you're saying, it would be possible if they had malfunctioned in some way, that that malfunction cost lives as opposed to his decision making or i am a not hearing you right? >> you're not quite hearing me right. it cost lives in his decision making, bringing it into the beach. he had obviously the voice data recorder has been recovered. they have the preliminary evidence. they know what took place on the bridge and it shows a confusion. but the closing of the water tight doors would only indicate that more water flooded in and caused the vessel to roll over quicker than slower. >> so that answer that's part of the question. but what about this? so now here we are. it has been a year and a half. more than a year and a half. so now this person who has been charged with manslaughter is actually going to be allowed to go ahead and have people walk into the ship? how would you even be able to tell? we see the pictures of the
7:40 pm
inside of the ship, it looks like the titanic. it is so deteriorated. how would you get any information about what happened now this late? >> certainly everyone is entitled to a defense. what you're not going to find here is the csi homicide scene re-creation. you won't final hidden dna or a surprise witness. this vessel has been immersed over 18 months in a harsh, caustic marine environment with seaweed, plankton, marine growth, corrosion that you cannot imagine. all the electronics have been wiped. it will not be able to be returned to the state that it was at the time of the incident. there will be no message learned from that re-creation. >> all right. thank you very much. let us know what you think as our viewers about whether you think this delay is fair or not. still to come. a teach here raped his student got only 31 days in jail. the student went on to kill herself in a terrible tragic but
7:41 pm
he is going free tonight. and how former president bill clinton weekend this. >> who do you think might make the better president? your wife or your daughter? [ sneezes, coughs ] i've got a big date, but my sinuses are acting up. it's time for advil cold and sinus. [ male announcer ] truth is that won't relieve all your symptoms. new alka seltzer plus-d relieves more sinus symptoms than any other behind the counter liquid gel. oh what a relief it is.
7:42 pm
than any other behind the counter liquid gel. always go the extra mile. to treat my low testosterone, i did my research. my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer.
7:43 pm
women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer; worsening prostate symptoms; decreased sperm count; ankle, feet or body swelling; enlarged or painful breasts; problems breathing while sleeping; and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa. ask your doctor about the only underarm low t treatment, axiron. getting the right nutrition isn't always easy. first, i want a way to help minimize my blood sugar spikes. then, a way to support heart health. ♪ and let's not forget immune support. ♪ but now i have new glucerna advance with three benefits in one.
7:44 pm
7:45 pm
free. after serving 31 days in prison, he will be released tomorrow. the 54-year-old teacher pled guilty to raping his student. she then killed herself. the case has drawn national outrage after the judge suspended his stwens the exception of just one month. again, tomorrow is the day he is set to go free. our reporter has been on this story from day one and she is outfront in billings. >> reporter: for the last 31 days, prison has been stacy rambolt's home. tomorrow morning the former high school teacher is set to walk out. having served just one month behind bars for raping his 14-year-old student. as she waited for her teacher to face trial, morales' mother said she was tormented by bullying and victim blaming. before the case was heard, she
7:46 pm
committed suicide. >> had she is beautiful. but hopefully, he'll get justice. i hope. >> reporter: justice has failed at every step, says her mother. not only did she lose her daughter but then the judge, todd baugh, hand down the short sentence saying morales looked older than her chronological age and was as much in control as the then 49-year-old rambold. the judge who has duck cnn's questions has since admitted the sentence may have been illegal. state laws mandata two-year minimum for this crime. the sentence and the judge's comments sparked national outrage. yerp this week petitions with 140,000 signatures were delivered to a montana judicial watch dog panel demanding judge baugh's removal. in the courts, the prosecutors have appeal the sentence to the state supreme court. hoping to send him back to prison. and for the victim's mother, a
7:47 pm
cia. for justice. a hollow search. >> does the pain ever fade? >> no. no. i think we just get used to it. so you don't cry every day. >> are there any conditions to his release or is he just a completely free man? >> reporter: well, erin, essentially as he free man. he has served his time. there is a dispute about how much time he serve asked whether that was the right thing to do but yes, he is being released. he is on parole. that is one thing we should point out. and erin, there is a wild card out there. the appeal to the state supreme court. but he doesn't have to have any home electronic monitoring, he can go see his friends, he can go grocery shopping, he can get his coffee whenever he wants and that's a real outrage hear for
7:48 pm
the mother. >> thank you very much. she will be there tomorrow as we see what happens. our ninth story "outfront," one-on-one with bill clinton. this was a really interesting one-on-one. piers morgan sat down with him. a wide ranging interview and i'm glad it was. politics is good but some of the other stuff is better. the former president had a huge take on future clintons in the white house. >> who do you think might make the better president? your wife or your daughter? >> day after tomorrow, my wife. because she's had more experience. over the long run, chelsea. she know more than we do about everything. and there was -- [ applause ] there was a time in her childhood when i thought maybe she thought she did and she didn't. now it is highly embarrassing because she in fact does.
7:49 pm
so i feel like i'm going to school every day when we have conversations. >> i met your wife for the first time and your daughter. and she looks fantastic, she looks completely reinvigorated, she looks on fire with ideas and dynamism and it screamed one thing. i'm running. can you put us out of our misery? >> no. but it should have screamed to you something else. real life is a healthier existence than politics. >> that's why people like him even if they didn't like him politically. politics is real -- i don't know. i don't want to use a swear word on a family program. "outfront," i want to bring in piers morgan. you also asked him about the president of iran. did he say it? did he not say it?
7:50 pm
did he use the word? i wanted to play that conversation that you had with the compared to the interview that i did with mahmoud ahmadinejad last year, struck a much more conciliatory tone in the fact he admitted there had been a holocaust which was certainly nothing that ahmadinejad would ever admit to. what did you make of that? how important is that kind of concession? and do you see a real shift there in the relationship with america? how much do you trust him? >> first of all, i think it's interesting commentary on the world in which we're living that admitting that the holocaust occurred qualifies as being a moderate. i mean, in other words, if you get into the fact based world, there's something to it. at least we can have something to talk about. i was hoping and i think the president was that the opening
7:51 pm
