what did abram lincoln think about slavery? institution of slavery question mark that's not that hard. abraham lincoln never had one kind word to say about slavery ever. there is no gray area here. at anything that we see him say in his speeches, in his letters, in the memories of people is that he always hated the institution. during the civil war, he told a group of visitors that came to the white house to press him to emancipate the slaves, he told these visitors, i hate slavery as much as any abolitionist, and i can remember time when i didn't feel like that. it's all true. from his earliest days as far as we can tell, he never thought the institution was a good idea. his letters are peppered with these perfect lincoln quotes like "if slavery is not wrong, then nothing is wrong." if you can argue yourself into believing that, you can believe anything. all these people who argue that slavery is a great idea, those people never want to volunteer themselves. he hate slavery. where does that come from? it's hard to say. it real

because if someone like elliott abrams is trying to make the point that islam is somehow responsiblefor acts of violence carried out in islam's name, then he must also be prepared to say that islam is responsible for all the good things carried out in islam's name. that's really the difficulty of talking about these issues of islam as some kind of un tear idea that islam promotes this or islam prohibits this. these are nonsense phrases. islam is what a muslim says islam is. and a muslim is anyone who declares himself to be a muslim. so yes it's true. isis is muslim, yes it's true that "charlie hebdo" attackers were good muslims. but it's also true that the people who are fighting isis are also muslim. the people that isis is attacking are muslim. the people who support isis and the people who argue against isis are muslim. so what does this actually say about islam? not that much actually. >> rose: so this is to the about islam, this is about what? >> it's about individuals. it's about the way in which people interpret their faith. the way that they navigate their faith in a modern s

elliott abrams used to be on the national security colining a very strong supporter of israel said the people who are doing these things view themselves as good muslims. that has to it be addrsed and explained. >> of course they do. i mean i think we've seen also a trend to say they're n muslims. and of course who are we to excommunicate these people. they are muslims. there are bad muslims tre are good muslims there are b christians there are good christians. and so i think what we have to get away from is the collectivization. and one thing that i would disagree with shadi and when we talk about these trends we can't lump muslims as one category. there might be crusaders for free speech among the muslim community. i mean we shouldn't set this up as anus versus them where we're talking about french societies' reactions and then we're talking about the muslim community as a discreet set of french society. i would imagine that you know, there might be concentrations of views, but we would also see a spectr+ç of views. much like in other communities. and so you know, i think getting away

. >> okay let's talk about this with our legal analyst dan abrams. this is interesting.you basically have two choices in california either can say i'll sue or go to this commission. ordinarily you go to the california labor commission because you don't want to hire a lawyer it's much more informal. the process is much easier. you don't typically have a sort of multimillion dollar lawsuit. although it's happened and contracts have been invalidated by the california labor commission. although it is very tough to get in particular this kind of deal to get it invalidated. he's not in an easy position here. >> depending on the outcome this could have a huge impact. >> oh if this california labor commission -- remember this, is not a judge deciding it. it's a commissioner as part of this commission makes a decision to say this contract is a violation of this talent agency's act, that could invalidate all sorts of reality show contracts. i think it's unlikely they will go that far. they could cherry pick certain things he says happened to him and say, you know that shouldn't ha

dan abrams is here with more on this. we're hearing the defense claim, a college culture.efense is that? >> i have no idea what kind of defense that is. it sounds like batey's defense. two very different defenses but it sounds like batey's defense is "a," i got so drunk i couldn't create the intent to commit sexual assault. that's not a real defense as a legal matter. it seems as a practical matter what they'll try to do is point the finger at one of these other two guys who will be coming in to testify against them as a legal matter. they say they're charged with the wrong crime. but, boy, if he is on this videotape doing that that is a tough position to be in as a defense lawyer. >> talk more about the videotape. very graphic. >> the videotape and other images here, remember, with regard to batey, very, very powerful testimony. vandenburg different defense. he is the one alleged to have orchestrated this. meaning the authorities don't even think he actually was involved in the rape itself but they say that he was part of the entire thing. meaning he had the intent to do
