lou: pretty amazing, biggest hit on cbs? terrific stuff. >> yeah. lou: that's it for tom selleck. joanne and andy, and me. thank you for being with us. join us tomorrow, general jack keane and s&p's sam stovall on this crazy market worldwide. good night from new york. ♪ kennedy: just a little psychic surgery. how are you? welcome. so happy to have you. tonight on the watch, i'm watching people lose their minds over comedienne amy schumer, al void feminist and obvious cut up. some say her jokes are racist. used to be the term racism was saved for maliciously insecure who had active contempt for those of different ethnicities colors and backgrounds. now if you make any commentary humerus or otherwise on race, not deemed sanitary by the pc police you are ashamed and forced to wear the scarlet
8:01 pm
letter r. schumer has seen deserved rise in her popularity. now that her popularity has lifted. leftist jellybeans are looking for best work to tear her down. the commies love to cannibalize himmal themselves. she has been written up in the guardian because of jokes like this. >> i used to sleep with spanish guys by i prefer consensuals. kennedy: baby the pile on wasn't complete to fun hating ultraliberals wrote op-ed piece in the "washington post" comparing schumer to donald trump. they were doing that in all seriousness and implying her brand of humor inspires people like that murderous little bastard who shot up a black church in south carolina. are people so out of touch and miserable they're willing to attack whomever, whenever, to provide for fodder for their sputtering outrage machine? the word racism is so grossly overused and misapplied it sadly lost its meaning.
8:02 pm
that is not only unfortunate it is dangerous. when someone has been mildly offended, which happens to the humorless most often, instead of craft agnew ounced argument they reach for base and blunt instrument to beat their opponent over the head. schumer had a great response to the detractors. playing with race is thing we're not supposed to do which makes it so fun for comics. you call it a blind spot for racism but you are wrong. it's a joke and it is funny. i know because people laugh at it. she is right. she backed down a little bit unfortunately since then. i hope she doesn't get beaten into total submission by the left who want to squash speech, freedom and humor one non-racist at a time. if you lack a sense of humor you are not allowed to comment on comedy. although your fake outrage makes for a great punch line. tonight on the show, comedian tom and sam will weigh in on amy schumer attacks. author brad thor.
8:03 pm
he dreams up apocalyptic scenarios for a living. i will ask him what terror group could be coming more terrifying than isis. use your imagination. controversial new documentary about amy winehouse is about to hit theaters. i will ask the director why amy's dad is so mad. let's get into it. i'm glad you're here. i'm kennedy. ♪ kennedy: good moroow. pc attacks on humor are not new. calling out amy schumer on race is beyond the stretch. let's be honest. welcome the panel, shall we. political prospect editor. comedian samour rell in samour sam -- morell. pink and blue. matching perfectly as though we're on a political prom. get to it, on scale of mel
8:04 pm
gibson to louis farrakhan how racist is amy schumer. >> comparison to donald trump is accurate. shares so many qualities with donald trump. golden flowing hair. willingness to fire people for smallest indiscretion that is amy, isn't it. >> the subtle but alarming sexuality. >> there a alluring quality. obviously is terrible. think it is terrible that they eked a little bit of an apology out of her but that is what happens. i'm not criticizing her for that although i don't think comedians should ever apologize for their jokes. kennedy: i agree. >> she is different level. she reached comic celebrity. when you're a celebrity it is best to just apologize and get it out of the way and cash that 50 million-dollar check! kennedy: that is what she's doing. she has a movie coming out, "train wreck." looks really funny. i think she is amazing and imaginative. we probably don't agree on a ton politically. she has been quite brave.
8:05 pm
i hope they don't beat her down. sam, if comics are able to go out there and discuss other races with humor in honest way, isn't that being color-blind? isn't that the best spot to be in? >> i think this joke is a misdirect. that is the humor of the joke. she goes one way and she takes you another. it's a joke. the person who tweeted at her sate this is outrageous, what are you trying to -- what are you trying to motivate? what are you trying to moat motivate? i'm trying to get a laugh. why is every joke analyzed through the looking glass, almost like a statistic sheet every joke. this is not how comedy is supposed to be analyzed. kennedy: portfolio of your friends and past behaviors to prove you're not racist which is almost impossible thing. >> i been attacked for jokes by a lot of bloggers. a lot of people misquoted jokes, taken them out of the context. i don't know who made these people hall monitors.
8:06 pm
why are they judge of funny and not funny? most humorless people in charge of this. kennedy: unfunny people are not allowed to judge funny. will we get past this and get over this hum? seems like matters of race in this country seems we lost their mind. >> i agree everything you said at top of the show. society is far too politically correct. don't think they are too far off comparing amy schumer and donald trump. seems like comedy is veil where you can say anything you like. what she said, think about i will more offensive what donald trump said. it wasn't in the veil of comedy she essentially implied hispanics rape. far more offensive than donald trump. >> didn't he just say they raped? >> mexico is sending their rapists. >> i think when a politician says that way worse than a comedienne. i think her beliefs are pretty clearly not that. like knowing her, knowing her belief she is not that person. when sarah silverman make as
8:07 pm
joke, there is difference between a misdirect and joke and this is what i actually believe. kennedy: i don't think it betrays some deep hidden racist belief and amy is a dark soul. >> there is sarah silverman joke where she says i was raped by a doctor which is so bittersweet by jewish girl. do you think she is condoning rape? she is saying that is funny stereotype. >> they use the same mechanism and play the naive girl saying dirty things. and that's why it is effective. are you supposed to buy into that as hate speech and be motivated to do horrible things to other people who are different from you? after watching a comedy routine? no. any rational person would know that. >> don't you think outrage would have been different if republican conservative person who is comic that made a statement like this. >> absolutely. >> nick, a conservative comedian and he is hilarious. >> not star in a movie with bill mader anytime soon. >> that's true. >> of course it is. you have to deal with.
8:08 pm
that is what people deal with in the modern world. but, for amy her politics aren't really a part of it so we shouldn't bring it into it. >> the joke is misdirect, exactly. >> so what? even if she is saying something kind of racially provocative, she saying in the joke, hispanic guys are pub thinker than white guys. so what. in the end i shouldn't apologize. she say, yeah, i was only kidding? >> that is proper defense. hillary clinton finally sat down for first major one-on-one interview. that was hysterical in its own right. appeared on cnn thought fully addressed voter concerns about her trustworthiness and took responsibility for her mistakes she made. i was just kidding. this is how it really went. >> people do trust me and i have ever confidence that will be the outcome of this election. i can not side what the attacks
8:09 pm
on me will be no matter how unfounded and i'm well aware of the fact that it is your job to raise those and we'll do our best to respond to them. kennedy: huh? what? is she ever growing to say anything? >> people should, and do trust her. what does that even mean? they should trust her and they do, so i shouldn't even say it. kennedy: what she based that on which is so bizarre and asinine, anecdotal evidence. people i have met by thousand, i don't know any other way of using barometer of what people are thinking and feeling. what about polling data? how about any other algorithm than the people you largely ignored in rope lines? >> all my manhattan friends. i can't believe george bush was reelected. i don't know anyone who voted for him. yeah, you don't know anyone. kennedy: exactly. what did you think of the interview. was it satisfying? >> no.
8:10 pm
she will try to ride the victim train all the way to the white house. that is pretty clear. from beginning to now, benghazi she tried to pin on video. monica lewinsky, that was vast right-wing conspiracy. kennedy: only time people had sympathy for her. she didn't do it very well but it kind of worked. her team has to be looking around, what works for hillary clinton? >> they cut out the part though when she said she would be attacked. cut out most likely by hispanic male. kennedy: really good. i couldn't believe that the she said that in nationally televised interview. quite edgy. >> i'm leaning to bernie sanders because i think it is closest we get to larry david in the white house. >> i want to see leon in the white house. j.b. smooth? wouldn't make a great vice president. >> i'm a fan. kennedy: i'm not wrong about this. i think she will win while dooming her own candidacy. i don't know how that is mathematically possible. she is definitely her own worst enemy.
8:11 pm
she says things inconsequential and illogical somehow people will still vote for her and i don't know how that happens. >> no one likes her but still does well in the polls.oing to n a hand basket. we have more fun with the panel. we will look at a school district with body cams in the classroom. how great of an idea is that? or is it horrible? what is next big threat after isis. i will ask brad thor, the government hates to come up with worst case scenarios. he will drum up a few in moments. stay right here. ♪ [announcer:] what if one stalk of broccoli could

protect you from cancer? what if one push up could prevent heart disease? [man grunts] one wishful thinking, right? but there is one step you can take to help prevent another serious disease- pneumococcal pneumonia. one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you ... from pneumococcal pneumonia, an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. prevnar 13 ® is used in adults 50 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13 ® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. common side effects were pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site. limited arm movement, fatigue, head ache muscle or joint pain, less appetite, chills, or rash. even if you've already been vaccinated with another pneumonia vaccine, prevnar 13® may help provide additional protection. get this one done.

ask your healthcare professional about prevnar 13® today. will you be a sound sleeper, or a mouth breather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than allergy medicines alone. so you can breathe and sleep. shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right.
8:14 pm
♪ kennedy: whoo! there it goes. school district in burlington, iowa, has decided to take a cue from police departments across the country by equiping administrators with body cams. yes, wearable body cameras, district superintendent pat cohen is defending the idea. >> we want to make sure we're treating students with dignity, honor and respect. this is a way to say, are we doing that and to kind of check ourselves. kennedy: i think you could wreck yourself with this. is it creating a safe environment or surveillance state? the panel is back and we are going to discuss, get into this meaty bowl of political kibble and. kay leigh and sam and tom.
8:15 pm
tom, you love this idea. >> i think it's great. go further of everyone in body cams. baristas, body cams. kennedy: so they're not spitting in your latte. >> didn't put enough foam in the latte. yes i did. check the body cam. do that across the board. everywhere you go. check the body cam. not just police, teachers, everybody. >> i don't know. this is argument we need more school choice because if the government is running schools and we can't trust government officials to run things properly, then we need to have a system outside of the public schools system. >> agree more choices. not only provide extra layer of accountability for the student but provides safety for administrators. if i'm in today's day and age i want a body for proof of interaction. they had body cams on a principal. student said kicked him. through the video they found out
8:16 pm
he did kick the child. kennedy: making up that story and maligning the principal. how many times were you kicked by your principal? >> i was choked by substitute teacher. kennedy: unstable sub. >> he walked in and was fired. awesome. >> you have a prominent adam's apple. >> i made a joke about his girlfriend and didn't think it was funny. that is neither here nor there. i'm with you on body cameras. want them on teachers, school administrators. i want them from jared from subway. kennedy: you don't believe walking sticks in subway? >> i believe it. kennedy: i agree with the guy from the national school safety and security services. he says this is overkill. i agree. i don't mind body cams on cops because they have guns. i understand like, they can change the course of your life with, within a instant. i don't think most cops are bad. i think a vast majority of cops
8:17 pm
are wonderful. teachers? nah. they don't have anything that will kill you. who will look through all the footage? >> they are interacting with children. doesn't it provide a deterrent to with a body cam if you know you're monitored and surveiled? kennedy: makes us hysterical, there is epidemic of child buggery on these schools. >> make teachers have sex with kids that much hat hotter with the footage. kennedy: someone will forget they have a body cam on. let's go in the janitor's closet, tom. >> chips in the kids. just for parents. i would put chips in my own kids. i know where they are. no one has access to the chip data except me. kennedy: electronic doritos. >> dogs have chips. if the dog is lost -- kennedy: they're not property. some would argue dogs are not as well. >> they're pretty close. pretty close. kennedy: no. we've lost our mind. we don't need everyone under surveillance all the time. you guys can't be too comfortable with this.

8:22 pm
kennedy: yesterday president obama described the west's war with isis as long-term generational struggle. how should we respond to isis and other threats? these are very tough questions but fortunately i'm joined by someone who was hired by the government after september 11th to come up with the kind of nightmare scenarios our enemies might be dreaming up so we head them off at the pass. here he is best-selling author, brad thor, his new book, "code of conduct" is on sale now. get electronic copy. get a hard copy. take notes. you have my vote. thank you so much for being here. >> my pleasure to be here. by the way i did at department of homeland security was volunteer position. kennedy: i thought you were paid for that. let me clarify. >> i served the country that way and honor to do. kennedy: very interesting task this red cell unit. >> absolutely.
8:23 pm
kennedy: we spoke about it on fox business before where we had to dream up scenarios. i want to you do this. pretend this is red cell part two. no one saw the rise of isis, right? everyone saying we had no ideal died in iraq would turn into this. holy cow we were caught off-guard. you were one of those people who saw the middle east shifting in this direction. my question for you, is what comes after isis and can it get worse? >> i would definitely say it can get worse. one of the big problems i said this with you before i believe president obama is directly responsible in large part for the rice of eyes sis because he left no troops behind. he was more concerned with fulfilling a campaign obligation a promise to pull all of our forces out of iraq and he never negotiated a status of forces agreement which would have allowed us to leave troops in there. so that's big problem. i talked to guys of mind, contacts of mine, responsible for getting terrorist out of iraq, going after them, killing them, capturing them. they were down to 16-year-old
8:24 pm
messenger boys before we pulled out. and we, if we had left troops there we would never seen this rice of isis. kennedy: here's the thing and i don't necessarily buy into the blowback theory but you have instability in libya, yemen, syria, afghanistan. >> yep. kennedy: all these places where young men in their early 20s who are radical islamists kind of get together and you can't kill them all. that's impossible. >> no you can't kill them all and the big problem for us is the arab spring also helped to create a lot of the trouble we see in that part of the world right now. so that created instability that allowed the fundamentalists mind-set to take off over there. kennedy: it did. that instability, you could have sectarian leaders who keep things relatively stable but unfortunately when you enter into a theocracy or caliphate as they're trying to now and being pretty successful, that's impossible. seems like you know, that is this ultimate evolution of radical islam.
8:25 pm
what's neck after that? >> i would say this it is fundamentalist islam, islam at its base what you see in isis. if the prophet muhammad came back today handing out trophies to practice islam the way he wanted it practice isis would be at the top of the podium. kennedy: they're beheading men and women and raping women and killing children. does it get worse than that? or the pendulum swing the other way and we see these atrocities decide as human race we can't possibly live in this world? >> if we want to combat it and stop it from getting worse we have to call it what it is. not extremist vision of islam. we have to say this is fundamentalist islam. like al qaeda before them, they used koran to justify their actions. there is no tradition in islam saying maybe the koran is wrong? maybe that applied back in the 7th century. it doesn't now. that is forbidden in the muslim faith. if we're not willing to tackle ideology we'll never wipe it out and get more and more and more
8:26 pm
of this. kennedy: code of conduct i want to talk about your writing process. you use something called faction which is fiction based on fact. >> correct. kennedy: do you have access to classified intelligence? >> no, i do not. kennedy: you don't? >> no. and i don't want it because -- kennedy: very active imagination? >> so what i got to asked to do for the department of homeland security is for the red cell unit exactly what i do for my novels which is i'm talking to people out there active and retired military intelligence people and i am looking over the horizon, trying to read the tea leaves to see what comes next. i take from little pieces in the news. my goal is create a great summer beach read to take to the lake or pool. when you close it say, wow, not only great white knuckle ride but i learned something. kennedy: we get to go to the beach with scott horvath. >> that is awesome. kennedy: you're alter ego. >> my wife says, we get to do the things trish won't let me do. kennedy: brad, thanks so much
8:27 pm
for being here. >> thank you. kennedy: come back when you're in gotham. >> i would love to. kennedy: coming up most "star wars" fans say luke skywalker has nothing on hans solo. i have great news for you nerds. a hard rock front man has a video that slams kanye. you don't want to miss that. the tropical storm es next. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on 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?

. kennedy: amy winehouse was 27 when she died of alcohol poisoning in 2011. so many popular musicians have died at the same age, some have called it the 27 club, and before the break i asked you which of these stars was not 27 when they died? the answer is tupac shakur, he was 25 when killed in las vegas in 1996. the new documentary on amy winehouse called "amy" opens

nationwide on friday. and here's a clip. >> the more people see of me, the more they realize is all i'm used for is making music. >> and the grammy goes to amy winehouse. >> she was one of the truest artists i ever heard. >> the world wanted a piece of her. kennedy: with me now is the film's director asif kapadia. when did you become interested in amy winehouse, you're a documentarian, when did you realize you're a good subject to tell a story? >> i got a call from the producer who offered a chance and said what do you think? and bit of instinctive feeling, three years ago, she'd only been dead a year, still quite raw and quite soon, i felt like i wanted to understand her a bit better. i didn't understand why she was performing when she wasn't well.
8:52 pm
kennedy: no, and it's interesting to know that motivation, the thing that struck me about her was her voice, and the voice never seemed to match the body which is what made her so interesting. this incredible instrument that came out of her. where do you think her voice came from? >> she trained, she listened to soloists, jazz music at a very young age and listened to musicians and tried to teach herself. diana washington, people like that were her inspiration. for a girl from north london, she had a great choice of music. in the beginning to make a film about a musician, you need the label, the publishing and the estate in agreement. in the beginning everyone was on board. kennedy: what happened? her dad expressed reversevations about the film before it was released. >> everyone who contributed to the film. over 100 people, spent three years making this. i spoke to a lot of people. 99.9% of the people say the

film is honest, even if they don't come out very well. the father has few sections in the film. the majority he says people should judge for themselves. kennedy: you said there is a lot of culpability in her death. who do you think is responsible? >> not a simple answer, a lot of things, a lot of people, including amy's own decisions that led to her becoming sick. she suffered of bulimia at a young age and addictive personality. she was famous when a lot of other things were going wrong. met with a particular person and fell in love with them, drugs came into the life. when you are famous, you have an entourage and you are a yes people. kennedy: you have money to influence and surround yourself with the yes people, which is one how people lose the muse, two, how people surround themselves with those who allow their bad habits to overtake them. you say on a positive note you fell in love with her as you
8:54 pm
started doing the documentary. tell me about that? >> she's really funny, intelligence, sharp and witty. she wrote all her songs herself. she played the guitar. there's a side to amy which people here in the u.s. never saw. you came into the story a bit later. we were aware of her previous album, frank. most of the film is about the revelation of who amy really was. she had issues but managed to keep them under control. she was able to use her art to deal with her issues. and then just the situation will become a bit cloudy and out of control. i think people around her tried their best, they weren't able to manage it all. kennedy: we only have ten seconds left. what was the biggest surprise making the film. >> really funny, witty and hilarious. >> i can't wait to see it. i know there is so much in her music that will live on, and it's a tragic ending but incredible story. thank you for telling it. all right, very good. team usa women's soccer party rolls on. they're about to make history again. the night cap is next. stay right here.

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. . kennedy: oh, yes! indeed, good evening. how are you? i'm so glad you made it to this point in the show. have you been drinking? good. the mass jubilation of the u.s. women winning world cup spread from canada to gotham and new york city is going to shower the victors with confetti in a ticker-tape parade. as usual, there is a predictable outrage, new yorkers feel such festivities should be saved for new york teams only, while others think everyone deserves a parade, and the lady ballers should get in line behind the veterans and other brave folk who never had a full face of broadway's best.
8:59 pm
listen, people, you shouldn't be mad because the women skipped the imaginary line, you should be upset because the city is paying over a million and a half dollars for the event that can be covered with private funds. what is this? north korea? publicly funded parades are so communist. tell the energy drink and shin guard sponsors to reach into private piggies and pull out the scratch. there is plenty inside where that came from and plenty to go around. these women deserve to be celebrated, fated and adored in every metropolis, i have no problem with that. i love this soccer team. but for new yorkers with bent noses, go put on a red, white, and blue shirt. take the day off and celebrate the parade for its greatest utility. day drinking! that's what parades are for! you can tell your boss, i was seeing the parade, glug, cheers, and you're welcome. thank you so much for watching the show. follow me on twitter --
