joining us now from new york, amy holmes. big spread in the daily post. does the new york "post" in your view trash the italian model on harvey weinstein's behalf? >> i think there is no doubt that the new york "post" has been running with the story of attacking the accuser, oh, and bhi by the way, exploiting those photos of her for their own gain. it seems to be saying look at this lying hussy. no, really, you can't take your ice. i'm sure it sold many copies for the new york "post". >> doctorwhy would the "post" want to side with a movie titan who is prem presumed innocent of course, but accused of alleged harassment? >> why would they want to side with someone enormously successful and powerful and provides a lot of ink for that newspaper. and this is a 22-year-old formerly nobody, now apparently very well-known. and i think the new york "post" has a long standing relationship with lots of people in the entertainment industry and why you don't read more about the bad behavior in hollywood is because of that. >> so you're suggesting that if you're someb

. >> i want to go back to amy holmes who's here in studio. one of the things that strikes me amy, is that if you lift these sanctions eventually, it's pretty tough to put them back in place if iran screws up, right? >> and that's what michael ruben and other middle east analysts are saying is that they're moving the goal post, so it becomes more difficult to punish them for not complying with these agreements. but there's just a fundamental issue on how hawks ss versus this administration viewings iran. we're limiting -- this house believes that iran is a stabilizing influence. i happen to disagree with that i think iran is a destabilizing influence. that's been proven over and over. but president obama said himself about iran, which i think is a incredibly naive nation, saying that iran is a big sophisticated company that has a lot of knowledgeable people working there. we know the saudis are very concerned about the growing iranian influence. i think it goes down to a fundamental difference in world outlook. >> amy, stand by if you will jame

i'm amy holmes. we begin this morning in north charleston, south carolina where a police officer is charged with murder after opening fire on a man as he ran away. and as we've seen in a series of recent incidents, it's raising issues of race and the use of deadly force by law enforcement. the shooting occurred on saturday and was captured on video by a bystander and provided to "the new york times." it shows the officer firing his weapon eight times, and we should warn our viewers, it contains graphic images. [ shots ] the officer is 33-year-old michael t. slager a five-year veteran of the department. the man killed is identified as walter scott, a 50-year-old african american. the officer says he first fired his taser, according to police reports, after scott ran from a car during a traffic stop. as the two men struggle the stun gun wires appear to be extending from scott's body according to "the new york times." the "times" also reports an object. it's not clear whether it's the stun gun. it's eit

>> a question amy holmes here.e enriched uranium iran is now saying they will not send out to russia? that was a big sticking point as well. >> reporter: that was a big sticking point, and as it was reported first by the "new york times" this week iran had balked on that on exporting the enriched uranium. certainly seemed there was a pushback from probably the supreme leader who has the final say on things. back in 2009 i covered this in geneva, an early round, and that was exactly what happened. they reached a big agreement here. they all came back and celebrated it. they went back to tehran and i was told by a very high iranian source that the supreme leader said, i never told you you could do that. so that's the problem. there is a disconnect there. just as -- as john kerry has his issues with congressional oversight back home it's more important, because the authority of the ayatollah khomeini is complete and unchallengeable on this issue. ate this stage there may have been some give on that. we don't know. we'

here with a special 4/20 discussion, the blaze tv anchor amy holmes.seem to be smoking massive quantities of this drug, some of them every single day. the strength is from, what i read, stronger than it's ever been. is this good, bad? should parents be worried? as a parent, i'm worried. >> as someone who is also a parent, i'm not worried about people in colorado on 4/20 smoking a bunch of weed. >> no they smoke it every day. >> it's like manhattan on saptt. patrick's day. >> but when you talk to them our producer says they smoke every day. >> people who drink every day in great excess are no picnic to be around. >> but you don't advocate that people get drunk every day either. there's this argument that pot is less dangerous than alcohol but it's far from benign and there's new information that came out in december, the use of pot after colorado legalizing it in 2012 and pot use has gone up across the board and -- >> more available and can't get in trouble? >> of course. a professor at ucla who is considered an expert on the issue, the percentage has g

we will talk about it with kevin cha chavis and amy holmes anchor at the blaze tv, and good to see you paul has he made the case that african-americans should vote republican? >> well, it is interesting that woody allen said that 80% in success of life is showing up. that is frankly a problem of the republicans that they have had and more recently of democrats just showing up and talking about the issues and the issues matter. rand paul has done a couple of interest ging things over the last couple of years that have gone beyond the surface treatment. when he asked me to come testify on capital h hill to talk about school choice a afterwards he sat down with me, and he said kevin we need to do something about the 2,500 dropout factories and the reason that school choice is important, and the kids need to go the good schools and not bad schools, and you could tell that he had done the homework and something that is more telling, when he talked about the disparity of the sentencing guidelines of crack and powder cocaine, my sons called me and they said that he is serious, and he has to w

amy holmes is here. anchor from the blaze tv. former governor of vermont, howard dean. >> gifted in politics he is. >> all you weird doughos. i just don't get it. let's talk politics. >> we have hillary and, boy, a lot of reports on hillary being a little rigid right now. >> yeah. >> chris christie. reviews are still coming in. very interesting follow-up yesterday on that newspaper deal where i said the "new york times" headline? >> yes, the headline saying that bridgegate dogs chris christie. >> so there was a follow-up. i got a call or two from the people at the "times". >> and they were mad at you? >> no. will just shows -- >> they were upset for what you said. >> the writer was not -- reportedly. i didn't talk to the writer. but several calls the writer reportedly was not pleased with the headline. and so what we were saying yesterday -- >> might be true. >> and so many times journalists go out there and they report they will do a fair article on you. because they know he have to work with you. but it's for a newspaper that d

anchor for the hot list amy holmes, and director of african studies at lee high james peterson.e are. i read the tweets. i didn't think they were funny nor were they true. comedy is said to be the smuggler of great truths. i don't know how poking fun at overweight women or this bizarre preoccupation with jews in his neighborhood, i almost bumped a boy and i would have felt bad because i was driving a german car, you can say it crosses a line i would say it is not even funny. >> we can't even show tweets. we need humor perhaps now more than ever. he will build on jon stewart's great legacy. we hope he won't cross the line with jokes calling up anti-semitic stereotypes. where is that line? >> it is a thin line jose. what we are witnessing is trevor noah who is quite popular around the world shifting to a platform that's a much bigger platform where the stakes are much higher. i agree with amy that the best comedy, even when pushing those boundaries has some truth in it. i trust jon stewart, he created this forum of delivering the news in a certain way, he believes and comedy centr
