8:00 pm
thank you for joining me, general jack keane and i'm going to see you back here every day as i do on the intelligence report live at 2 p.m. eastern. governor pataki is my guest. see you then, good night, everyone. ♪ >> hello, america, i'm jedediah bilah in for kennedy tonight. christie makes it official and trump is fired by nbc. there's one candidate's slogan that might make you shake your head. if you're headed to the beach this weekend, a shark expert lost his leg in an attack. the government versus parents' right. another mother let her children
8:01 pm
play alone in the park. chris christie is officially running for president. he announced he's joining the crowded race at his owed high school where he was president of his class in livingston, new jersey. >> america is tired of hand wringing and weakness in the oval office. we need to have strength and decision making and authority back in the oval office and that is why today i am proud to announce my candidacy for the republican nomination for president of the united states of america. jedediah: and then there were 14, 14! let's welcome our awesome panel. kirsten, anchor and former miss america, michael mallet who takes the title of mr. congeniality for the night and a comedian to my right. what a stunning panel, especially mr. con gene --
8:02 pm
congeniality. and christie, what do you think of him in the race? >> i don't think he's got a shot. you hear chris christie and running in the same sentence, you hear sports bras somewhere. when i first came out i was kind of interested and seemed like he was standing up to people, but now he seems to have embody the worse scenario types in the new york area. the by in the bmw that cuts you off in the right lane and gives you the finger. >> if he'd done that last week, that would not surprise me. jedediah: people say that he's a failed governor and they look at the unemployment rate in new jersey not so great. and pension reform, a lot of people declared that you think constitutional. and in terms of a gubernatorial record to stand on. >> i'm going to correct you. christie lost a lot of weight and now he'll lose a lot.
8:03 pm
>> oh. >> and ralph cramden, he's as relevant to contemporary culture as honeymooners. jedediah: harsh criticism here. >> he is a guy that can convince a lot of people that he-- of a lot of things and he tends to resonate with that mentality that wants a different politician, call it like you see it. maybe he can dig himself out. >> it's amazing to see how much public perception has changed since around 2011 when people admired him for the way he was straight-talking and cut through it and call it how it was and his campaign has keyed into this idea, americans do want authenticity from their leaders, but that's totally gone now after bridge-gate. after his expense account. it's just, i think that he really had as to feet the feeling that his time and his donors, really, have moved along to other more authentic candidates. he's got an uphill battle. >> conservatives don't love
8:04 pm
him. look at gun control and amnesty. libertarians don't love him because he's gone after rand paul and establishment backers like jeb bush. it seems he's going to have problems with too many groups of constituents. >> i don't think he'll have that appeal. i would like to add i was class president and it's no guarantee. jedediah: maybe he would be sitting next to me one day. all right, the fallout from donald trump's comments about illegal immigrants and 2016 announcement continues to cloud his campaign. first univision dumped the donald's pageant. and yesterday nbc fired trump from celebrity apprentice and the billionaire had a threat of lyle action and this jab, they will stand behind lying brian williams and won't stand behind people that tell it like it is. of course the donald never loses. he's spun this follow-up response.
8:05 pm
>> i think as far as ending the relationship, i have to do that because my view on immigration is much different than the people at nbc. jedediah: this guy, kirsten, he always has to win. they didn't fire me, i fired them. >> right. jedediah: is that a personality trait that you think most of america says, yeah, donald, or is he too full of himself to be president of the united states? >> yeah, you know, it's so hard to know because then you look at new hampshire and he just rose to like second in the polls and i think everybody is like where did that come from? and i think like what you said about christie, keys into wanting someone to tell it how it is. he's an entertainer and mogul, but getting into the thick of a negotiations doesn't work in politics and i think he's finding that to be true now. jedediah: what do you think he says about brian williams? brian williams isn't running for president. you can say they have al sharpton over at msnbc, al sharpton is not running for
8:06 pm
president. you can say things outlandish and-- >> what didn't get donald trump fired, this is what he said, rosie has been a loser for a long time. out of control, a failure and unattractive inside and out and she'll say anything that comes to her unattractive mouth. she's ignorant. as unattractive on the outside, then as the inside. >> when you have that kind of thing to say about women. speaking of women, from personal insight, i didn't compete in miss usa i did in miss america. the miss usa pageant off nbc july 12th, a week and a half and the girls arrived in baton rouge and the dreams you worked so hard to achieve and you're not going to be on national television anymore. come on. >> and that's the real thing in america today. >> it is. think of it, that's really hugely disappointing. jedediah: talk to me about a debate stage had a has donald
8:07 pm
trump and chris christie on the same debate stage. that's entertainment beyond what i can begin to fathom. >> the thing with trump, it's hard to bring him down because he's got a ton of money and clearly, shame is not an option. but i'm curious about getting a ticket to new orleans because except for baton rouge because it sounds like a lot of disappointed vulnerable young women there. >> oh, wow. >> maybe need a helping hand. jedediah: i think they're totally fine. and they'll be rocking out. and and you know, i have to say if you remember the boat with the cuban refugees, and emptied the prison to send them to the united states to make them our problem. >> when you run for president, even if say something with an underlying truth, you have to
8:08 pm
watch what you say. >> you can have strong comments and feelings about an issue, but you don't have to disparage a group of people, you know? i think that's the-- donald take some advice from kirsten, by the way. jedediah: we're going to move on to bobby jindal, his presidential campaign is selling a limited edition t-shirt featuring the slogan, tanned, rest $and ready. check that out. according to his campaign manager, it's a tongue in cheek to liberal and social media that jindal hides his indian heritage. it was disgusting, apparently bobby isn't brown enough for them, closed quote. that's harsh language there. >> i like the campaign slogan. i think it's fun and funny, i think when politicians show a little bit of a sense of humor that endears them to the public, did you like it? >> i think it's funny, but the joke is the nixon reference. >> right. >> people are looking at the nixon reference which makes it
8:09 pm
amusing. jedediah: not everybody is as adept and-- >> it's old and-- for pete's sake, i do think it's interesting that he -- he's indian immigrant, that's his heritage, but for the left, he's not, i guess, even though he's fifth indian he's not ethic enough because he's conservative. while you can support a woman who is white and ahead of the naacp in washington, she identified as that. once he identifies as a conservative any authenticity goes out the window. i want some campaign slogans from you guys and help the republican party out. give me a candidate and a slogan you think will take him to the top. >> in my professional opinion the two best slogans, rick santorum, google me. and for jeb bush, i'm not as bad as my brother. jedediah: oh, maybe too soon. >> tanned, relaxed and ready?
8:10 pm
i mean, bobby jindal, tan is okay, relaxed, it sounds like he's on a beach, chilling and everybody else is working. jedediah: okay, i'm ready to go, you know? some of the ones i thought jeb bush, no, jeb exclamation point. the taller, hipper, more hispanic bush. >> oh. ben carson, it doesn't take a rocket scientists to run a country. >> maybe, but yeah, so what about you? >> i would like jeb, instead of jeb with unexclamation point to be jeb with five exclamation points. instead of jeb, it's jeb! for trump, for america, no hablo espanol. >> i have two and creative. for marco rubio, three h's,
8:11 pm
hydrated, handsome and hola. and for rand paul, not lindsey graham. all right, you know, stick around, we have more and coming up next, can you imagine be banned from smoking in your own house? a liberal politician is make it go happen. and an expert almost killed by a shark is here to explain the rise in shark attacks in summer.
8:12 pm
usaa makes me feel like i'm a car buying expert in no time at all. there was no stress. it was in and out. if i buy a car through usaa, i know i'm getting a fair price. we realized, okay, this not only could be convenient, we could save a lot of money. i was like, wow, if i could save this much, then i could actually maybe upgrade a little bit. and it was just easy. usaa, they just really make sure that you're well taken care of. usaa car buying service. powered by truecar. online and on the usaa app.
8:13 pm
8:14 pm
>> smoking in new york city is banned in many public space, including, bars, restaurants, the work place, sports venues and the parks. where is a smoker to go? home sweet home? not so fast. new york city's mayor bill deblasio is making mayor bloomberg look like the marlboro man. so, now you can't, joe, you know, bill deblasio has gone from keeping low income kids out of the-- i'm not fan of cigarette smoke, but this is people's private space. if they can't smoke there, what's next? monitoring them in the shower? >> possibly no smoking in the
8:15 pm
boys' room. if they get rid of that. the thing with deblasio, nothing like a liberal pirate, and. >> well said. >> they just really good intentions. >> and we've got-- here is what, if it's in a difference between the tenant and the landlord. there's no reason for them to get involved. if it's public housing, i think that smoking is disgusting. if people want to make decisions, that what they're able to do. it doesn't matter what i think. they don't have to suffer from it. >> mike is having a heart attack here on the side. >> and more of a stroke. >> technically, the landlord, and i've got the property rights here, he's pressuring the landlords to put them in the contract and we should be happy. this man went to-- hold on, no, no, no. >> no, it's involved with, but not using -- this guy went to
8:16 pm
cuba on a honeymoon with his former formerly lesbian wave and we should be-- >> he is the government and so if he's-- he's the government now, and many companies help us and-- >> josh bush, and everybody the president, we're going to the president,en's' a control freak, and we know this, this is a whole other issue, kirsten, help me out here. >> what do you think about this? how do you feel about the issue of secondhand smoke? one of the arguments they used well that can trickle under doorways and they can affect people with allergies. >> people in manhattan, every year, you move into an apartment and you want to move into an apartment where it reeks of smoking. you can get the scent out and
8:17 pm
sometimes you can't. i understand some of that, but this basically goes back to philosophy. do you think that people should be given the freedom to make their own decisions and there should be education involved, for people to be presented with the options and this is what you're to go to yourself. we hope that we can incentivize good behavior or no, this is the way we think it should be for everyone and we're going to try to pressure people know in order to make that happen. >> my question is what happens if someone lived there and this is where they've set up for, say, two or three years or whatnot and now this rule comes into play and affects their decision. but it's too late for them. come up and find somewhere else to live? >> the same thing, you see nobody likes to be made judgment based upon what they do for their moral character. it seems like health decisions are made into the new morality. if you eat sugar, you're a bad person, if you smoke you're a bad person.
8:18 pm
if you make bad health decisions, you're a second class decision. what are we coming to, health decisions are making you a bad person. >> are you serious? >> people have to-- >> judge people. >> this isn't judging, this is imposing policies. >> you can have building without dogs and without cats. >> we'll talk about banning selfie sticks. i'm sure you've seen people walking around and there are more shark attacks in north carolina. we'll ask a shark expert who lost an arm and leg in an attack.
8:19 pm
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
8:22 pm
>> welcome back. north carolina beaches have seen an unusual spike in shark attacks with six during a two-week span this month. the most recent attack saturday left a teenager in serious condition with multiple bites. so what's going on? paul is a shark attack survivor featured on "the bride of jaws", discovery channel shark week. shark week starts this sunday. here is a clip. >> we're going to do something i'm not sure has been done before. we're going to strap into the harness and dangle him over sharks. >> got it? >> paul joins me in the studio now. i'm excited to have you here. you have you have knocked spider-man and thor off the charts and you are my new hero. you were face-to-face with a 12-foot bull shark. tell me about your story and what happened. i can't imagine what went through. >> it was a tough day he wh --
8:23 pm
when you get to work. >> it's not easy to go through. >> i was working as a diver which is a bomb disposal diver and we were doing a counterterrorism exercise in sydney harbor, i've dived there a hundred times and swum there a hundred time for work. i was finning on the surface on my bakken an a bull shark grabbed me by at hamstring and hand and i tried to fight it off. i tried to jab it in the eyeball. i tried to push it off and punch it off nothing washed. it took me underwater and tearing me apart. it removed my hamstring and it was swimming away and i was swimming away and luckily i had buddies in the boat to give
8:24 pm
first aid. jedediah: you continue to dive with sharks. most people would say he must not want to look at a toy shark let alone a real one. you went back into the water. what led you to do that? what's your mindset? >> i'm a firm believer not letting things you're afraid of stop you from doing the things you love. i move the water and grew up spear fishing and diving with the navy so i was back into the water with an eight-foot under my arm and three months after the shark attack. jedediah: that's amazing. people at home are sitting with their mouths agape. i want to talk to you about what's going on in north carolina. it seems like there are so many attacks. a lot of questions why this is happening so much in that area. do you have any insight? >> there are a lot of factors that can come into the situations. we had the same thing happen in australia just last summer. and we actually had to close some of the beaches up to ten days in a row because great white sharks were hanging
8:25 pm
around, but then they eventually move off and you can open the beaches again. close the beach for a while while the sharks are in town and let them pass on. if you're going to go into the water. don't go an hour either side of dusk or dawn because that's a low light level time. the sun is low and the sharks being ambush predators use that low visibility to hunt fish. unfortunately, a lot of the time that's where humans are as well. there's a bit of mistaken identity going on. people that swim the rivers are more likely to be attacked because the aggressive bull sharks swim up and down the inlets near a pier or a wall. honestly, shark attacks are such a low percentage, if you follow very simple rules, you're lowering it further and you really don't have too much to worry about. jedediah: people say this is very rare, but the problem is when it happens, it's starting
8:26 pm
to people and afraid to go in the water and to the beach. what do you say to people in terms of the specifics and how in common this is. can you give reassurance that this is not the norman if they were faced, heaven forbid, with a shark in the water, what do they do? >> well, if you really want to be 100% safe, stay in the pool because the ocean is the wild and you shouldn't treat it as a back yard swimming pool. there are wild animals in there. it's inherently dangerous, things can go wrong. they generally don't and you're more likely to be killed by a cow than a shark, but if you do encounter a shark, get out, let it run, get out of the water. if it ends up biting you, fight because sharks will respect the size and power of you fighting back. go for the gills, go for the eyes, go for the nose and you will hopefully live. jedediah: i want the audience
8:27 pm
to look at what you've suffered. can you tell what you suffer from? >> when the shark grabbed me, it grabbed me from the hand that was down by my side to the top of my knee. jedediah: wow. >> the whole hamstring and lost my leg above the knee. i'm fortunate that it made me help come this far. it's never been a better time to be an amputee with amazing technology like this. an unfortunate incident, but one that allowed me to explore the life of sharks and get involved in shark week on discovery channel and share my love and respect for these animals with the world. jedediah: i hope i'll be half as brave as you one day. thank you. coming up, a man-- mom a cited by police for letting her child play alone at the park. and unexpected problems is
8:28 pm
perfect fodder for us. the tropical storm is up next.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
8:31 pm
>> tonight's tropical storm is big, so big in fact alarm bells should ringing to anyone in its path. topic number one, michael and kelly live. it's live and when an alarm went off, the show must go on. >> what is that? >> should we be concerned with that? >> should we move away? >> it's a good thing this isn't live tv. >> we'll yell for the rest of the show! yeah! >>. [cheers] >> i might have run out of there out of fear just saying that outright. i think the lovable hosts
8:32 pm
handled the blaring buzzer as well as expected with great reaction. the abc show sees an unusual dip in the ratings, they shunned be too alarmed. topic number two, green bay quarterback aaron roger was linked with women before he was with olivia munn. after seeing this video of the pair, rogers would be wise to think twice before breaking it off with munn. you go, girl. that's my kind of girl. the video was posted by munn's instagram and likely shows her practicing for her role in the upcoming film x-men, and she commented, learned new tricks, got that erin? bet are be watching the topic
8:33 pm
number three, when "saturday night live" lampoons jeopardy's host, it's the same guest. >> okay, turd ferguson. >> as the saying goes, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. here is a clip from monday's show. tv for 800, alex. >> in the theme for the sit com, i pulled up to the house about seven or eight and i yelled to the cabbie, yo ho, smell you later. jedediah: what would turd ferguson say? i thought that was pretty good. i might be able to do better, maybe later. topic number four, a family on a nature walk in yellowstone national park in montana got their money's worth with an upclose encounter with a grizzly bear. >> oh it's on my car!
8:34 pm
>> oh! . jedediah: am i the only one who thinks he's really cute? once they'd seen enough of the giant bear claws, the giggles wore off and the family ras ready to bail. forget forget they're on their home turf. remember this? >> i'm moving now. >> all right, i'll just -- i'll just --. >> you'll jump right off. >> yes. >> isn't it illegal to drive with a bear on your hood? >> i kind of want a grizzly bear as a pet. i can't help it. topic number five, the university of missouri could not have been happier with the values they got after they had chelsea clinton speak at the school. at just $65,000, a bargain. the price tag for the first choice, hillary clinton who charges a whopping $275,000. the speaking fees came as part
8:35 pm
of an investigation. and the speaking fees that other colleges and organizations handed over. how can they justify paying that much just to have chelsea's mom speak? . ♪ got it going on, ♪ just got hillary ♪ i'm going to vote for chelsea's mom. jedediah: oh, boy, i know you remember that. that was the string quartet, well strung. $275,000 would be worth it to never see that video again. what do you think? tweet me at jedediah bilah. artificial intelligence, are terminators around the corner? hate selfie sticks?
8:36 pm
possible bans are coming. is this a ban we can get behind? i think so. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet? still not sure whether to stay or go to your people? ♪ well this summer, stay with choice hotels twice and get a $50 gift card you can use for just about anything. go you always have a choice. book now at choicehotels.com
8:37 pm
8:38 pm
8:39 pm
>> we can stop this from happening. >> my favorite movie, yes, the terminator is a sci-fi movie. don't get too comfortable in your seat. a professor says artificial intel against will take over the world from humans and the human race could be eradicated because of it. jedediah: and joe, clearly the terminators are coming and i want to know are you prepared to be the next john connor? >> here is the problem with the terminator movies, the first one, we could buy that this guy looks like a super hero comes back, but that was 1984. now we have 2015. why is sky net like-- let's send back a 67-year-old
8:40 pm
man with an austrian accent. that's our best action. jedediah: it's not supposed to make sense. >> i don't know. jedediah: and thank you. >> and a chilling sign of things to come. jedediah: it is chilling, i'm going to tell you why. i read an article this week, wall street journal had an article that artificial intelligence was getting testy with people and you were asking questions to this machine essentially and the machine was like why are you asking me so many times and i don't have an answer and got exasperated. if the mp could have emotions at that level, are you not afraid what is next? >> apparently it can have a gender. no, i'm not worried about artificial intelligence, but below average intelligence. and i went to mcdonald's and ordered a wrap, chicken and bacon, how many?
8:41 pm
>> two. jedediah: yeah, the machines can take over our jobs first. and fast food restaurants like he said, you go in and it's machines. and what is going to be next? what if these computers, these machines at some point can communicate with each other and they just factor us out altogether? >> well, actually, steven-- computers aren't talking to you, sending the e-mails, a split personality disorder. >> no, this is actually pretty scary. elon musk, as well as steven hawking have both come out and said we need to be cautious of artificial intelligence. if multiple people work in this sphere that are concerned about it and it's kind of like spam. how would they get rid of us? well, it would be like spam, you just identify people that are redundant or, you know, aren't contributing to the system and they're deleted like spam, you know, that's the way it's excomplained. jedediah: that's terrifying.
8:42 pm
like joe, i am prepared to step up as your next sarah connor, he'll tag along. batman and robin and-- >> if you've got a selfie stick next to you now be careful where you take it. disney banneded devices from all of their parts. apparently some moron recently pulled one out on a rollercoaster while riding and shut the ride down. i see a selfie stick as a weapon. >> on a rollercoaster? >> i think it ties into what we were talking about, culling the herd a little bit. [laughter]. if a person is on an amusement park ride, how about i hold out a long metal object. >> as the rollercoaster goes by. you have my vote. >> and he wh -- when i was in grade school my friend and i went on a coaster
8:43 pm
and opened a bag of confetti and someone could have choked. >> someone glitter bombed my home and i'm still finding glitter. >> disney, is this a smart decision, you know, if i can't bring myselfie stick, i'm not going. >> as someone raised in a former soviet household, this is why people hate americans and right wing dictators and left wing, hopefully this is the start-- whoever is mrauding at the parade is taken to the island and never seen again. jedediah: disney, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and can't capture all of us, my day is ruined. >> they should be able to take their selfie sticks to disney world not on rollercoaster. you can't take a big bag, restrictions, don't take them
8:44 pm
on the rollercoaster, i think that self why i--- selfie sticks are growing in popularity. >> i might have a visual aid here. this could be a danger. we're going to take a ton of pictures with this after the segment. but think what i could do joe next to me if we were on a coaster together and i thought it would be a great opportunity to knock some sense into him. think what this could do. this is a selfie stick and we spent three hours in the green room before the show to figure out how to use it. but this is the device of which we speak, there's a button on the bottom. why couldn't i come up with that. >> some golfer wanted a-- what if i put my iphone on my putter and take a picture. >> it was invented in japan in the '80s. there was an article in the '80s, but crazy inventions that will never catch on here. >> we did run some tests with this under the stalls in the
8:45 pm
bathroom and-- . [laughter] >> all right, apparently some guys grew up watching too much back to the future are now reaching middle age. according to the new york post there's been a rise of men who instead of buying a sports car for their mid life crisis pick up a skate board. one person who sells the boards in brooklyn estimates half of his clientele are middle aged guys. this is so scary to me, mike. i'm going to see middle aged men thinking they're marty mcfly picking me up for dates on a board? >> spider-man-- >> he's a super hero. >> the guy watched to launch a site called dapper dad, and if you think launching a blog is going to get you laid in 2015, it's really, really sad. >> could there be something said for trying to recapture your youth? i mean, are we going to see guys with water wings on in the
8:46 pm
pools and training wheels on the bikes? you couldn't find a more lame way it try to reconnect. >> and you want a car, that was the big thing becoming a man. i don't get it. it wouldn't be attractive to me. women want to be picked up in a car, you know, they want something they can share with their guy, not like, hey, watch me skate by you quickly as my hair blows in the wind. women are not impressed. >> it's not like being picked up by thor's hammer and flying through the air. what do you think, joe? i'm going to get a board? >> no, i have friends who skate board. as you get older you don't lose the ability to skate, what you lose is the ability to get back up after you fall off. that's what happens. and you're crying for help and you want to feel the wind in your thinning hair? >> and what about the syndrome-- >> and nurse you back to health. i think that skate boards go in
8:47 pm
the category of age appropriate, crocs if you're young. >> i'm trying to think of a female equivalent. girls tend to put on outfits that-- and i saw a middle aged woman walking around the city in a tutu. a legit pink tutu we do our own things. >> bad plastic surgery i think is-- >> i'd rather have a guy buy a quartet. >> thank you, panel. except for joe-- oh, joe. >> i have one thing i want to mention, i have, with the supreme court same-sex marriage decision last week i have a track for my album that came out that deals with that, very funny. go to my twitter page, and listen free. go to joe devito. >> and i love him that's why i tease him. mike is the guy i can't stand. [laughter] coming up next, donald trump is
8:48 pm
known for his signature hairdo. why is he talking about getting rid of his flowing locks? first, a parent gets charged after leaving her 7-year-old at a park. has the world gone mad? stay tuned and find out.
8:49 pm
8:50 pm
8:51 pm
>> police in maine have charged a mother of a 7-year-old girl with child endangerment for letting her daughter play alone in a park across from their home. cops responded to a 911 call saying the girl was alone in the park for an hour and the police chief said, quote, that's a long time for a 7-year-old girl to be alone herself anyplace let alone a park. the mom claims she keeps her eye on her daughter and lets her play alone at the park all
8:52 pm
the time. free range kids, how to raise self-reliant children without going crazy. i'm glad you're here. tell me about the situation, this is a park close to the home, within eyesight of the home. >> and what would the police prefer that the child stays home all day and using a selfie stick or would they prefer a child getting fresh air within eyesight of their own porch. someone calls 911, there's a child in the park. that's a bad thing, like the child shouldn't be in the park. instead when cops come, i don't think they should have, but cops come. why don't they ask her where do you live in she points over there and take her home. instead put her in the cruiser and the police chief said we had the resources to take care of the child. as if she's a refugee. and finally reunited her with her mother who had had been home 50 feet away.
8:53 pm
