as the supreme court get ready to decide whether it wrote or one veteran is a religious symbol, there is a new filing t protect monuments like this one in arlington national cemetery. also the christmas police are still on the job tonight and suggesting that making children sit on santas lap since a long the long wrong message in the wake of the #meto movement. senators returning to capitol hill tomorrow and what will be the sixth day of the border budgetge battle. democrats refusing to give president of the money he meets to build the wall. the president says he won't bac either. >> how long do you think it wil last question are. >> were going to have a while, were goingru to have safety. we need to do for our country. >> chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is life in washington, dc with all thee details. >> today was the first business day after the christmas holiday ofow the partial government shutdown and there appears to b

no real movement in iraq president trump was lasted how long the partial shutdown could blast and he continues to sound like he's determined to fight for serious border security. >> whatever it takes. were going to have a wall, were going out safety. we need safety for our country. folks are saying can we have some technology is bells and whistles. i edwe need a wall, so when they how long is it going to take, when are the democrats going to say, don't forget, the democrat are wanted a while until i wanted it. >> the standoff has been got them going for more than two weeks for the president demande significant funding for the border wall during his meeting in the oval office with the top congressional democrats since then leader pelosi and schumer have ripped the president for not bringing certainty into peoples lives in ten different people from the same white hous are saying different things about what the president would

accept or not except to end his trump shutdown making it impossible to know where they stand at any given moment. it is time for these leaders to figure it out. >> i have a thing against governmentnt shutdowns. i think the end up being counterproductive. another weren't it i think it's important for the president and democrats to come to the table and find a way to negotiate a compromise. to me the wall is essential. >> talks are all going through nancy pelosi, who faces a critical vote to become speaker on january 3rd. some suggest she is no incentiv to cut a deal until she's officially speaker than democrats would be the majority of the house ending a whole new dynamic to this fight. >> is going to get interesting. appreciate it. >> joining me now is arizona congressman congressman andy biggs, house judiciary committee . how are you question my. >> how are you.

>> you sat down with the president recently on saturday to talk about this very issue. what will it take to break the stalemate? >> is going to take chuck schumer biting the bullet, the going to have to fund the ball while. s it's a substantial reduction from the $25 million it will take to actually build the wall. they need to move. it's all in chuck schumer escor right now. nothing on the presidents desk toid veto or sign. >> what incentive do you think democrats had to come to the table or negotiate or give president trump any funding. nancy pelosi will take over likely as speaker of the house justus next week and democrats will have control of the house. what incentive do they have to play ball here? >> what will incentivize them i two things. they really love this country and recognize that the border i insecure rightht now. we have to have a wall. that is one thing. the other thing i think we'll d it is if they realize that thei

base, a significant number of bureaucrats, are the ones getting paid in the shutdown an they're going to get some pressure from their base to com to the table. the reality is they are the one that have chosen toho shut this down ultimately, not the president. >> isn't this a lot about politics.ay the way i see it, democrats including chuck schumer they have voted for fencing along th southern border. clearly they're not begin some physical structure being along the southern border, so is it the semantics game and a politics game. >> believe it or not i have friends in congress who talk. i said what's the deal here. i said what's going on. but on to give us anything for border wall. i live in a border state where their concern. they said i don't like the er rhetoric the president trump uses. the other one said were not going to give president trump a victoryel. what i'm telling you is it is

politics. that's the problem. they don't want president trump to have a victory. in d so doing, they're preventi the country from having safety. just today even so more people from the border telling me they are crossing or property, we've got to have border wall. that is what we need to do, not politics, we need pot good policy which includes a border wall. >> speaking of the policy aspect . even be on the wall, the big races we are facing is asylum-seekers. people seeking asylum from central america, can you tell the viewers a little bit about what's going on with asylum-seekers and why we are seeing this influx of central americans doing just that? >> when the asylum seeker comes across the border,rd we do an immediate evaluation and then they end up staying. we can't keep them longer than 20 days. so we can't process them becaus the influx is so great. there's thousands upon thousands

. in the phoenix metro area, there's been almost 4,000 of them really since october. they are coming here seeking asylum. we pay them whatever because we can't afford to hold them. that's what's happening is catc and release theme or giving the notice, please come back for your court hearing to prove tha you are really someone that qualifies. almost 90 percent of them don't even qualify for asylum, yet they're already here in this country. most of them neverer go back further hearing. that's what's going on with the asylum policy wesy have today. >> not reported is much as the steel with mexico and keeping asylum-seekers in mexico while they're waiting for their immigration cases. as you pointed out, 90 percent don't actually grant asylum in the court. they go missing between that time and when their cases come up, soso why is this so importa? >> if you can keep them in

mexico which has offered asylum to most of the asylum-seekers bread they'veof offer them asyl if you keep them they are, then it gives us time to process the before they gett released into the interior. once the released into the interior, they're effectively lost until they commit a crime or something w like that we can track him down. we have all kinds of obstacles that keep us from actually controlling the folks that are coming into our country. that's why in mexico basically keeping them k there in until they're ready to come in and were qualified to comment is so important because it's going to reduce the number of people coming into this country illegally that we can't track. >> is congress doing anything t address thees asylum issues wer seen? >> we have basically put together a series of bills, i know the freedom caucus has put together some ideas and bills t try to get this going, but then

first thing that has to happen really is the border wall. they want to talk to my border patrol agents, they say we need the border patrol and border wall first. once we have the border wall, i will actually put people to the channel sore they're coming in through the ports of entry. we can control a better and the we can deal with interior uiproblems like asylum.ow >> how long do you think the shutdown will last? >> since the president is holding form and the democrats is that they're not willing to budge on this, i would think were going to go at least another couple of weeks actually . >> i appreciate you giving us some insight on this issue. >> thank you, lisa. >> as the border budget battle heats up. left is using this to blame um president trump in the administration for the tragedy. nancy pelosi saying we have a moral responsibility to ensure all children of god are treated with compassion and decency. the death now i have two

children in u.s. custody is unconscionable. house democrats will not stand idly by and watch other nations while fundamental values are corroded and innocent children are held by and democratic congressman bennie thompson going further than that saying it's clear that the administrations fly-by-night mass detention policy are not working. the welfare of children in our care must be a top priority. chief correspondent is live in our west coast bureau bureau with the real story. jonathan. >> as of the beginning of december, according to the department of homeland security more than ten years since a child has died in the custody o u.s. customs and border protection. now two children have died in n the space of a month, the lates in eight -year-old boy police say alonzo gomez first taken intoto custody around 1:00 p.m. december 18th they're all

passive, texas. the boys father were according to cbp officials given regular food, water, and welfare checks before being transferred to the border patrol station on december 23rd. on the 24th at around 9:00 a.m., an agent noticed the boyntic was coughing and his ey were puffy. he was taken to a nearby wi hospital. he was diagnosed with a called and given tylenol.pi around 30 minutes later his fever spiked to 103 degrees. he was held for further observation, but 19 minutes after that at about 2:50 p.m. h was released from the er with a prescription for marks a solin and ibuprofen. the boy and his father were taken to a temporary holding facility where at 7:00 p.m., felipe a fama did. according to cbp, his father said the boy was feeling better and declined further help. at about 10:00 p.m., fully pay was again conscious and was

being taken back to the hospita when he vomited again and lost consciousness. hospital doctors could not provide him. he was pronounced dead at 11:48 p.m. on christmas eve. the commission are called it a tragedy and says agents do all they can. >> our job is to try to identif any children that need medical care and get them to a hospital as quickly as we can. we're doing that with hard ever day. >> just three weeks ago a seven -year-old wahlin wahlin girl diedr after spending nearly ei hours being held at a remote outpost in new mexico. her father told agents whose daughter was in good hthealth although it's unclear he was given that his first language was neither english nor spanish but an ancient mayan dialect. the department of homeland risecurity secretary today announced a series of steps designed to identify children

more quickly and get them help. she is at the centers for disease control to investigate the uptake and sick children he crossing the border u.s. coast guard medical has sent them medical programs more medical professionals, have been requested from the department o defense and most immediately, all children apprehended by cdp will now get a more complete medical assessment as soon as possible. the issue here, what does as soon as possible mean. it's obviously undefinable. frequently on both sides of the border you get these agents working in small teams frequentlyre coming across grou vof very large groups of illeg immigrants and remote areas of the border, so the practicality of immediate medical expansions is questionable at best. >> jonathan, thank you. >> joining me now is vice

president of the national borde patrol council and immigration attorney. thank you so much for joining m tonight. i want to start with you, you saw the quote from nancy pelosi and chuck schumer basically criticizing the federal governmente about what happene to this poor young child. our hearts are with the family. no one wants to see something like this happen. it looks like at least accordin to a jonathan laid out, care wa provided, they were paying attention to him and monitoring him. why is this the governments fault? hate to see when people are using a dying child or a sick child to further any political agenda. that should not be used here fo any reason. with that said, i don't think it's a matter of whether or not good care, that care was given to the child. we heard earlier, a lot of thes individuals comingor over of th border the border spanish and english are not the language

they speak. a lot of them are from guatemala .. >> i want to go to you, how dangerous is this journey from country like guatemala, i assumed being around all those different people, beingg around so many different people and also making such a long trek probably isn't good for someone self, but how dangerous is tha journey? >> it's got to be dangerous. not only are you dealing with the actual traveling and then the links of it, but like i sai earlier, if they had a problem with the language, how did they communicate when they were traveling through mexico. ef2 communicate through mexico. you have to have the proper foo traveling through there. you have to worry about corrupt law enforcement taking money from you. yet to worry about the smugglers , the bandits break lots of things go into this. if an average american citizen put their childd through that, the united states system would

definitely be prosecuted for child neglect or child endangerment. it is very tragic. >> what are the conditions like. >> conditions weather being held ? >> you know, i was just there a few days ago one of the detentions facilities here in arizona. some of the doors were open and they allow the children to come out and talk to us once in a while.as there was one particular 13 -year-old guatemalan boy that i saw and i called him over towards my computer that i was at and i asked himas where he w from. he said he was from guatemala. we spoke briefly he said he didn't know where his parents were buried at that point i sai okay, be careful. stay safe and everything he walks back to the area where he's being detained and i said grab some cookies. he grabbed some cookies. he said thank you, i gave him some juice, but there was other kids outre there watching movie as they're being taking taken care of.

that's not the actual detention facility where they're being held for longer periods of time but none of these kids are bein mistreated. it's a very tragic thing that happened, but i think honestly people need to go and talk to the see what kind of misdiagnosis was done on this child. >> the dangerous journey and different things involved. why would the media, why don't they discouragehi this kind of journey because it seems to me the way to keep people safe is to discourage people from makin those kinds of trips, so why aren't are they doing moree to that? he gave the journey has already happened. they've already here they are here with their kids. what the issue is. >> but even before that. to prevent further children and parents making this dangerous journey, i understand some people are always all bc here they've arrived at the southern border, but what about future people, future caravans. shouldn't members of congress,

democrats try to encourage people not to make that trip, not make the dangerous journey? >> i have said for a long time, and like i said it's not a republican or democrat thing, the department of homeland security, u.s. immigration services, they need to do a better job of that in these cases and setting up postwar these people can get for a silent before they have to trac all the way through mexico. the problem is is that you have a lack of those resources. that is a problem. i see it firsthand. it's a major problem. there are times that for years and years, for them it's worth the risk to come over here.wo >> what do you think of that? >> even know, i think it's a copout. i think it's a copout. put the blame on the united states. to put the blame on the u.s., t put the blame on the department of security. there is a right way to do this in the wrong way to do this.

it certainly isn't crossing the border illegally and jumping th fence.fe they could ask for asylum in th areas where they're at. they can go to the embassies of the u.s. there. they were given some type of asylum within mexico. there is a way that they can enter the united states through the ports of entry and they don't do that. i understand that they're going through rough times. i get all that. there's a right way to do thing in the wrong way. if you come to my home, you nee to knock on my door, not break in into my window. it's that simple. it has nothing to do with race, it has nothing to do with, but political i'll use it on the reality is we need to secure ou

borders, we need to have security and the people elected in political positions need to start caring about the united states citizens and the people they truly represent. >> i want to hear you're take o this other story what many in t is reporting about the caravan being a bunch of innocent victims, the u.s. customs and border patrol said they just caught two more members of ms 1 gang and two convicted and previously deported offenders trying to an, across the border. come on, why is this downplay that somehow criminals cannot b in the midst of these caravans. obviously the bulk of the peopl trying to get over here aren't bad people, but why is this downplay that somehow bad peopl aren't in the mix. there were 600 criminals among the caravan, so why is there a downplay a something that seems like common sense? >> i think the number in the hundreds are exaggerations. there is no hard-line proof of that. >> but it's also just common sense if you have a group of people coming and you not think that people are going toop try exploit that? >> every time. that's been the problem for decades. the caravan isn't i something n. it's not something that's only happening now that we have

president from. caravans have been coming to th border for decades. if you remember the plane lande with hundreds of children on it. people remember that those children were treated they were separated from their families i something that's been going on for a long time. it's a systematic issue. i'm not attacking dhs, their process in their system has to change because the system doesn't change, we will keep running into the same problem. >> the issue isn't that the caravans haven't been going on. the issue is the downplaying of the people in the mix that than you both for joining me tonight i really appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> president trump makes a surprise trip to our troops in iraq. why is the liberal media callin the trip a failure. the debate after the break. stay with us.

♪ >> lisa: welcome back. >> president trump heading back to the white house at this hour after a whirlwind surprise trip to visit our troops in iraq and germany. the secret mission comes a week afterte the president announced would withdraw u.s. troops from syria in a decision that a fuel backlash from both sides of the aisle. here is the story from the pentagon tonight. >> more than 5,000 u.s. troops currently deployed to iraq including special operations forces these tubesud are used t change and advised lucky that could be used i to launch isa strikes if necessary. president trump says the terrorist group isn't nearlypr threatening today. >> two years ago, when i became president, they were a very dominant group. they were very dominant. today they're not so dominant anymore. >> since the president announce

the troops will be leaving syria , the pentagon says more than 30 airstrikes have been launched in eastern syria killing hundreds of isis fighters. more evidence the terrorist arm isn't quite defeated u.s. officials warn isis and the ideology has spread to other commitments including europe an africa where terror attacks hav been munchedun in recent days. in iraq, not all u.s. troops u.s. artillery on the border with syria has been shelling stis positions around the clock in eastern syria. the last known stronghold is that city located within the range of theirs. at its height in 2014 isis controlled thet area the size o ohio. during president comes first year in office airstrikes against the terror group increased 33 percent roughly 40,000 bombs were dropped on isis last year. this year, airstrikes has sharply reduced is fewer target remain on the battlefield. today ice is only holds 1 percent of the territory once

held in iraq and syria. despite the gains against aces the security situation remains tense one of the reasons the president and the only spent a few hours on the ground of the u.s. controlled air base west o baghdad in the middle of the night. the president spoke to a rex ne prime minister over the phone security concerns prevented a face-to-face meeting that they hope the iraqi counterpart can visit the white houset next yea. >> outgoing defense secretary did not make the trip to iraq. president trump says he's in no to find a replacement. his deputy shanahan takes over as acting defense chief next week. >> the liberal media has been hammering the president for not spending troops in war zones fo months, but now that he's gone to iraq, they're still unsatisfied. watch this. >> what he did by going to the air base is essentially by not meeting with the host governmen i think what he did was essentially reconfirm what not only baghdad, but also governments around the world

suspect, that he sees no need for partnership that what he sees is a transactional relationship. >> a lot of gas lighting about what u.s. forces are doing and other theaters and less focus o the in going stabilization mission and counterterrorism mission that the forces in iraq or performing be. >> joining me is a former cia officer and vice president of national security and foreign policy heritage foundation. hello, guys. >> hello. >> i'm going tock start with yo come president trump ever win? >> not in the minds of his critics. this was pretty astonishing. there were people, and i mean media organizations, who were just hammering the president in the hours leading up to his visit for never having visited any of our troops in a war zone and then the line afterwards were he shamed them so

effectively in the days before. no, it takes weeks to plan a presidential visit. ben also the criticisms of his time there. anyone can see the video the troops are excited to see the commander-in-chief, but they're particularly happy in seeing trump, and i can understand why. people are saying well, the policy speech he gave wasn't enough for us too much or what was in political. he never gets any credits and this is not new. >> and speaking of making it political, you guys listen to this. >> it is a campaign slogan and that the campaign item.po i'm sure their bosses see that, t ey're not going to be happy about that. the presidentt has to take some ownership about this. when he's around military audiences, he brings in

complaints and from outside the realm of military policy. >> people are complaining about trumping trump since before he ever started running for president. all of a sudden the reality of what's going on, the president goes to the middle east, and what's happened? were not having a million isis, their physical footprint which was a big problem with isis to begin with is virtually disappeared, thousands of foreign fighters are not flooding into the middle east. ebron has been put on notice. i actually think his record kin of speaks for itself, any other president any other president except donald trump, people would be trumpeting this is the triumph of two years of successful form policy in the region. >> lets get to the policy a little bit about the decision t pull out of syria. presidentid trump talked about

the plan was to defeat isis, we accomplished by job. have we? >> please certainly put isis on the defensive and taken away it kela vey which is the state admission. the reason the president has done this has made this statement and quite honestly i think it could've been done in way that was a little more time to and collaborative with he will have implement this they got unveiled rather quickly. the reason he's doing it is he' trying to shift the u.s. away from what has been going on since i was a sophomore in college which is we invade countries, we stay in those countries, we never leave those cuntries and were wrasyi then responsible for rebuilding or training or funding, for supporting collapse. he doesn't want that to be true in syria. there are obviously real concerns about our kurdish allies, there's also the possibility of an isis resurgence, but there's always haing to be downsides to not having the sink his greatest military and the history of the world in a country holding it together. one never going to reach a poin where it's a better thing for u

not to be in a place like serious i think the president i thying to do what he can with the realities of a timetable. >> i think a lot of people are split on this issue like myself but for the individuals that ar proponents for staying in syria when is it ever the right time to leave for those people >> there is no good argument fo redping a footprint and syria. somehow if we can hold onto a piece of syria, we will provide space to participate in the political assembly. there is not going to be syria is owned by the iranians and th russians, that's not quite a change in less somebody wants t fight world war iii. people who are sensible with a to transition our footprint in syria. it makes perfect sense. i think quite honestly, the way the president announced it llan we still don't really understand , what the plan is for syria, that's what i think is clear concern.

we can continue to protect our interest. we have actually increased our military activity since he said that. obviously were not just walking away. i think there is a bit a stressor. the same thing in iraq. we are keeping it so we don't have to go back and i think we keep a footprint in afghanistan. were not there permanently. were providing an assist message . i think the president is trying to walk the line between winnin away from things the way obama did in trying to solve problem by invading countries the way w did in the previous administration. >> thank you both for joining m tonight. >> thank you, lisa. >> thank you. >> a world war i cross under siege. it could affect monuments nationwide. we will talk to people on both sides of next.

>> i want you to look at this world war i memorial. it stands 40 feet tall and has been there for nearly 100 years. now some non-christians are up in arms over its shape and they wanted taken down. back now with details is jonathan hunt. jonathan, what is going on here? >> this is a case that focuses on just one memorial in maryland , but it could have

far-reaching consequences impacting monuments across the nation including some at arlington national cemetery. the memorial at the center of this case is a cross that honor world war i veterans in maryland . its construction was started by community members and mothers whose sons died in world war i and it was completed by the american legion. the lower court has ruled that the cross should be removed because it is the establishment clause of the constitution whic of course reads congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. but a brief filed by 30 states since the supreme court should reverse the lower courts call for destruction as it's placed in our national tradition and broader cultural context makes clear the memorial honors both the service members it was buil

to honor and the constitutional ideals including in the first amendment bay guide to defend. west virginia's attorney genera who led the group of 30 states and challenging the lower court said we owe a great deal of gratitude to the brave men and women who sacrificed everything for our country honoring that sacrifice the memorial could include religious symbols does not violate the u.s. constitution and is one of the many freedoms these men and women fought to preserve. the challenge of the began with the american humanist association. a nonprofit eight years organization that has of course filed similar lawsuits across the country. >> thank you, jonathan. joining us now is west virginia attorney general patrick morrissey leading the 30 states charged to protect his overall and also fred edwards former executive director of the human

association. fred, i want to start with you. why are you against a memorial that honors those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect for freedoms like the first amendment. >> because we want to honor the all and that is our main thrust. we even have a ##honorthemall. we understand the 30-foot tall latin cross on government land broadcast clearly that only christians soldiers are being honored. >> honoring all the hell is it honoring them to remove it? that doesn't make any sense despite your #. >> in 1985, the cross was declared to be in honor of all veterans of all wars, all veterans were not christians,

all veterans include muslims, hindus, buddhists,, atheists, and we want to honor them all. that is the whole point of our case. >> it is a memorial honoring th people on the memorial. >> no, it is not honoring them all. it is a christian cross that is 40 feet high. illuminated at night, that you drive by it. >> i don't care if it's 1 feet high. it honoring people that lost their lives. i want to go to the attorney general on this break the lower court ruled in favor of fred an his group, you are leading the charge along with 30 states filing a brief to the supreme court arguing against what they are trying to do here. why are you doing that? first off, thank you for having me on. if the supreme court doesn't reverse what just happened in

the fourth circuit, we could be dealing with a situation where hundreds of morals across the country may be forced to be tor down. just as you indicated, the purpose of this memorial is to honor the war debt. we know when the peace cross wa first put together, this was done to honor 49 individuals wh fought in world war i. they were commemorated. across the country, there are memorials similar to this, but you have to look at the context in which these memorials are se up. that states and individuals hav the right to commemorate the dead. that's different, that's not a purely religious purpose, quite the opposite. that's a secular purpose. so we think this fits very cleanly within, we think the co clarify this going forward, but i think that this peace cross i done with private funds, this

peace cross was done with unchallenged for almost 90 years , it's been part of the fabric the historic tradition within the community and there is really no reason to tear it down from a legal perspective. >> i want to talk about the slippery slope problem here tha the attorney general just addressed. i also want you to read you of the memorial cross case. we have the quote. so it's this brief is the boldest of the ground it's only a matter of time before the morals like this one across the country, i want to know what yo think of that, also not only that. you look at military awards given out. the army distant or service crossbred the air force cross, do you want all of those remove as well? are those not okay with you? >> no. this is not a gravestone. it is a 40-foot tall wet and cross on a highway median.

there is no doubt that the highway median is on government land. and it's not a cemetery. >> did they coerce you into changing our beliefs? >> it gives the impression that no are welcome in the city. it presents bladensburg as though it were a christian enclave. when i first saw that cross, when i first drove there when i move down here in 2003, i thought that is ridiculous. that just gives this impression right off the start. it is unmistakable. when it's illuminated at night, all you see is this cross floating in the darkness. you don't know it supposed to b a war memorial. you can't tell. the war memorial aspects of it are so small and so minor that they are dwarfed by the size of the cross. >> i want to get the attorney general response to that, because to me it seems like you are trying to push your opinion

on everyone else in the state o maryland as well. attorney general, your response. >> this is a war memorial. it is one of several that's ove at the location. we know that the inscription on the memorial is secular in nature talking about fowler, talking about honor, that you can actually have a memorial to its purpose is mostly secular. they were honored by crosses in their homes, their stories. if you talk about the rows of crosses that were set up. it is meant to honor the dead. you can really distinguish that. it really i think takes a stretch to say that this is purely for religious purposes.

once again, if this cross were allowed to fall, then you could see arlington, some of the cros is there are troubled. in my home state of west virginia, weather in elkins of the state capitol, there are a number of capitals that could fall because this starts to stretch first jurisprudence and not the way the founders intended. >> that's just ridiculous because we have worked with arlington national cemetery to make sure that you human nests and other non-christians. we want a variety of symbols on tombstones because we want to honor them all. those four memorials that are cross the street from the bladensburg cross our secular i nature and we do not challenge them. we support them. we only challenge the one that is a 40-foot tall. >> we've got to get going. fred, i don't agree with you.

i don't think you're honoring them at all. coming up, santa claus in the meat to era. and actor kevin spacey disturbing new video in the wak of his felony sexual assault charges. all of that next. >> of course are going to say i'm being disrespectful and not playing by the rules. i've never played by the rules before. i never did. and you loved it. eally apprecia the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today.

i feel surprisingly good and my confidence grows each day that soon enough you will know the full truth. >> joining us now is conservative commentator and democratic strategist rachelle thedeis period that was weird. so, there has been something like 30 people who have come forward and made allegations an they are allegations now he's facing these felony charges. with video evidence, but does this help them to then release creepy video? >> it doesn't. and when i watch this i is he denying that all of this is happening or is he choosing to ignore it, billy, when you release this kind of video, we know he's going to be charged come january, it looks like he' not apologetic and he's disconnected with the reality that he is living in. i think the americans the peopl think is not going to appreciat the fact that he really needs t

owns up to his actions and the fact that 30 people are now in the wake of his actions his lif been affected becausepe of what he's done and who he is. >> it's weird and it is creepy. and i am a huge house of cards fan. i just finished the season last week. when i i i did miss that charac frank underwood. i feel like he has this weird connection because if you watch the show you notice that frank has a lot of skeletons in his closet. and it seems that kevin spacey might have a lot of skeletons i his closet. i think it's cheesy, but insulting as well to the issue of sexual assault and people wh our victims of sexual assault. >> do you think that was the point. as racial pointed out, maybe he thinks somehow tapping into this . people are going to be forgivin him because they miss him on th show or something. >> i don't think so. the timing of this, right befor

his court date it really seems like he is trying to move on, move past it. he says i'm coming back and all of that. it leads to the fact that he is trying to push through the reality and not face the consequences of what he's done.g >> were all on agreement on thi one. it's creepy. nba star lebron james found ms himself in the hot suit this week after comparing nfl owners to slave owners. watch this. >> the nfl has old white men owning teams and they have that slave mentality. it is like this is my team, you do what the [bleep] i tell you to do or i will get rid of you all.s >> what is he trying to say here ? >> i think when you use the ter slave mentality especially when you're talking about white people there is an automatic reaction to it being directed towards white people, but slave mentality is something people

used to describe whether you're working through a bad boss. so, what i'm going to say is that i have also seen conservatives call black democrats.th >> hold on. so the average nfl player gets paid $2 million. how was that an abusive relationship? >> because african african-american. >> regardless of race. b >> because a person has been given a certain amount of success, then you should be abl to violate them. you should be able to insult them? because of their gender. because of their sexual. >> hell is that happening? >> the nfl has ignored the fact the nba is notot what happened sterling brown, you know what happened with those two? iggy i'm talking about lebron james. >> i'm talking about the whole thing thing about the nfl is

rooted in police brutality. a former nfl player who was assaulted by the police, the officer was later fired. he's an nfl player. these guys are recognizing this. when you're an african-american athlete and you take up the domit and get up at court, the one thing you i are in this country regardless of everythin is a black man. everyone in the nfl, everybody has a light right to believe what they believe. the issue with the nfl particularly with the kneeling is the fact that they are doing it, they're doing it during the job.he you can do whatever you want on your network. that's the issue.th he was irresponsible with his words, not only for. >> should i not be offended?

you cannot only people offended in the past, but some people ar still in slavery today. he needs to be more responsible with his words, call for reforms >> christmas may officially be over, but the christmas are still out in b full force. the washington post doing a deeply investigative piece on sitting on santas left. that left is now criticizing th innocent tradition of santa claus.en are you pro sitting on santas lap or against? >> i am going to stick for the sake of argument i'm going to stake about. i feel that these kids should b able to sit on santas lap if they want to. if the parents so comfortable with it if the kids want to do it,. i feel like you're being too sensitive about someti of our american traditions. it has taken away from the

excitement of our holidays.at >> thank you both for joining me . the kevin spacey story went a little downhill. we will be right back with the next bite next. .. ..
