disappointed, as aisha was.t an acting nomination and people also talk about octavis spencer, who plays the mother of oscar grant, very strong performance. or screenplay. but, i'm not to surprised. i mean, it was an independent movie that came out in the summer, and then there was just this kind of wave of movies in the last three months of the year. and i think that there's a short memory -- >> there's a timing problem, which is something you mentioned in your piece, particularly for "fruitvale," which did not come out in this -- people have a sort of latency bias. i remember putting it together, like, best moments of the year shows. you look at the list, and everything is november and december. >> let's be fair, though. michael jordan gave, you know, a major performance, a stunning performance, but this category is crazy weird this year with great performances. forest whitaker didn't get nominated, robert redford didn't get nominated, joaquin phoenix. >> robert redford didn't get nominated for a role in which

aisha, let's begin with you.acare. the hill reports, an alternate to obamacare will be one of the big issues the house gop will discuss at its annual policy retreat. how productive is this? >> it's completely counterproductive to what we need them to be doing as the legislative body for america right now. i can't help but to laugh. it's really just sad that they've had several years to present some kind of alternate policy, to present their ideas about what they would think would make obamacare work a little bit better, what we could do to reform health care for our country and they've refused to. they focused specifically on repeal, repeal, repeal, we want to get rid of it. and now all of a sudden that the elections are coming around, they're like, maybe she should come up with an alternative plan. it's clear they intend on doing nothing up there. >> bob, what do you think? why do you think the main gop objective here seems to be replacing the whole thing? >> well, first of all, we've seen the replacements befor

radical young people a statement has a national on the internet that allegedly from their own eyes aisha and essentially calls for a revolution there and political commentator alexander cross and believes the unrest is pushing ukraine to. all the signs are pointing to the two a k s basically emerging in key of and i think what is more worrying is that the so-called nationalists basically extremists who are trying to create there were more killers and more miss these are extremists basically same with terrorists the more that the position is itself or acknowledge that the situation is getting out of control and how can we can then you why they say that these people for example are protesting against the government's decision to join the e.u. after we see them attacking police with more of course. bricks and mortar and so on and basically breaking all the rules of civil society to an extent that these are criminal gangs basically. the two months of protests in kiev turned into outright rioting over the weekend the first day of clashes left over seventy please wounded and that number has si

aisha is out there trying to withstand the next five hours of freezing temperatures to make it to the ball drop. there were flurries earlier. it is freezing out there. what's going on? >> reporter: don, my friend, it is freezing. i'm not going to lie. people are in good spirits here in times square. are you having fun? yay! you can hear it from the folks themselves. they are in good spirits. they've been here since 3:00 today, don. they don't care about the cold. they all wanted to be here to see the famous times square ball drop. and also take in the unique atmosphere that goes on here in times square. this is my fourth year to tom could this event and it never fails to amaze me how people come from far and wide to be part of this. i wanted to introduce to you two very special characters that have come all the way from texas. you might be able to spot them. what's your name and where are you from? >> joe david, from amarillo, texas. >> what about you? >> i'm antonio from amarillo, texas, also. >> explain to our viewers why you decided to make the long journey from texas to be here in

at the time, it was a report that a somali girl named aisha was being stoned to death. she was killed for stoning. a true that for adultery and proceeded to stone her to death. i broke down in tears and i think suddenly i had developed a new set of ears. i heard the question of the moderates in a very different way, meaning that as a muslim, i needed more than to justify an aberration in specific to the conditions of somalia. i needed more than that. i needed to have absolute muslim positions that would relegate these awful part says to a time and age that doesn't belong to today. so we certainly have our work cut out for us i think i've must understand we do need to demand those. i know people feel it. no one believes there should be stoning or amputations in today's world. the irony and the thing that confuses me and i do not understand it is i don't understand why some muslims have chosen to make that the response. stoning was sent developed by muslims. it was a choice tradition. so we need to articulate very clear definitive positions. >> host: well, the factoring m

. >> guest: and then we have of course other women he married who aisha is the first muslim lawyer and i think she has been shifted the most of the tradition of the hyades, the prophetic sayings and she and her time was consulted on the matters of legal issues in the community. she was also a military leader. so it's bizarre to me that women are banished from driving for instant when they have these illustrious and incredible role models for women within our own faith tradition. so it definitely goes back to education, education, education and i think that what he the first thing. >> host: it's interesting you say that the prophet was a feminist because i remember darius dina munns came to me and said your prophet was a feminist we said yes we know that. feminists and the fact -- the sense that he was surrounded by women. if a woman walked into the room he would take off his coat and lie it down to she could sit in a clean space. he was very respectful of women so yes it is key in creating awareness all over the world. there is a lot of confusion in america about sharia, and i know tha

. >> is aisha there? >> she is not going to save you. good luck saving this one. >> people have been here since -- what's the earliest you know? >> we heard that they are in good spirits even though they are freezing. i want to introduce you to a couple from south africa here for this special night. this is kevin and his girlfriend lindsay, why on earth are you freezing with all of us in times square? >> this is the best city in the world. we think it's a no brainer. >> just so you know, this guy was here last year. this is his second year freezing. how does it compare? >> i was alone. i have somebody working as well and i make more friends. >> you mentioned the girlfriend. let's ask what she thinks of being down here with the crowd. are you having a good time? >> yes, i absolutely love it. >> what's so good about being here in times square with all these people? >> firstly, i met a lot of people from different countries and i get to spend it with kevin. that's awesome for me. >> make some noise, everybody. what's your name and where are

. >> aisha moody mills joins us. welcome all. matt, let me start with you.hristie's approval right now doing quite well. majority of jersey voters say that the scandal affects, even ends his 2016 chances right there. is the shine off his candidacy? i mean, it's 49%. 49% say it's going to affect him in 2016. what say you? >> i still think in a lot of polls he's one of the most popular gop politicians in the country. and i think, craig, when you run for president, you're going to get a heck of a lot of scrutiny. and he's getting it before he's ever a presidential candidate. but he's got a chance here. the whole country -- i know people in new jersey are watching him. there's the whole question about their governor. but the people around the country, including republicans who will be involved in the primaries are watching him, and they're going to make a judgment as to whether they like what they see or they don't. so far, i think he's handled it pretty dang well. >> this one is from quinnipiac. we should also note nbc news has a poll coming out in just a few h

aisha down at street level along with hundreds of thousands of partyers. >> and revelers. >> revelers as well. deborah is actually making her way right here. we have brooke baldwin who is in new orleans. we're going to check in with her a little later on. >> what are you so nervous about? >> and the amazing -- >> deborah harry is here asking who anderson is. >> hey, i'm anderson cooper. how are you? >> hi. >> kathy griffin. >> hi take a seat stand right in the middle. >> happy new year. >> happy new year. i'm a fan of yours. i'm glad you are back and performing. how did it feel to perform here tonight? >> wonderful. >> so exciting. >> you sounded fantastic. >> it's an incredible i mean my god. there's no spectacle like this. >> yeah. and you'll get a new album. >> we have a new album coming out in march, and it's all new material. so i'm very excited about that. >> that's cool. >> and i wish we could have actually played more songs, but i understand time is short. right? >> i'm a terrible dancer. >> are you? >> back in like when i first started danceing, i thought i was rocking out to

i have interests backed but it was telling to me that young aisha and johnson from chicago who is theoung education activist was taken off the stage it is telling because as much as we talk about youth and as much as we want our youth involved and they want to see youth movements, we are taking the mic away from them. we are taking them out of the fight and that to me was the theme of al sharpton's march essentially, that it was his ascension. it was his coronation as the single most powerful civil rights leader in the united states at the moment and you essentially go through him. it's disheartening to watch. at the very least, phil agnew of the dream defenders did get to speak at that commemoration, which he did not at the official one. he and sophia campos were told that they were not going to get there two minutes apiece because they ran out of time. this was the real farce on shut-in as malcolm x called the original march. this was not about a movement. this was not about the actual lived experiences of luck and brown oppressed people in this country. this is not about finding so
