>> that is bashir comment. that bashir campaign. and he's (unintel phrase). >> no, it's not only bashir. >> no. all of you repeat it (laugh) at the point. yeah, that's the point. when, when i indict president bashir, i remember some of them saying, "oh, it's against africa. and everyone would say, "no, it's a genocide. six year later, no one is talking about darfur genocide. and people repeat this alibi. based on former colonial past. but we don't like it. white people killing people in africa. but with, neither like black people killing ke, people in africa. but bashir in particular, when he was committing the genocide in darfur, his troops were saying, "we're going to kill you black people, negroes. that what he was saying. and he pretend he's the victim of a colonial court. come on. that's, yeah, it's funny. and by the journalists in, in, outside repeat the story. because it's easy. it's, it's, it's on top of their prejudice. it's wrong. >> okay. so let me put it to you this way. do you feel that the the icc has been even-handed

to say you want steve bashir to be your governor addressing those challenges, that's common sense. our recovery didn't just happen because of during the tenure of him, it happened because of steve bashir. because we had a governor who wasn't concerned with what was popular or politically savvy, he was committed to doing what needed to be done. he said no to the cause for european-style austerity and instead invested in our commonwealth, in our people, our infrastructure, our education. giving kentucky's economy an immediate jolt and keeping our communities and work force competitive for the long haul. the results speak for themselves. today unemployment is half of what it was during the great recession. under 5% for the first time since 2001. sight selection mag said there is no bert state in the nation for economic development. companies are vin he in kentucky like never before. $3.7 billion in investments announced just last year. kentucky is doing business like never before with exports of $27.5 billion last year, four times the national average. and we are building like we have

between the two sides that these troops turkey insists they came to these areas specifically to the bashirp on request of the government of iraq. the iraqi government called it infringement of sovereignty and last week we is saw the iraqi wrote to the security council and has been creating more and more diplomatic pressure on turkey to scale back these troops and turkey insisting they will not withdraw them so the ira iraq is callingly it a withdraw and the other calling redeployment. >> enough to take the sing out of frosty relations we have been seeing between baghdad and ankara in resent days? >> absolutely. i spoke to a couple of political analysts who were of the opinion this is something that will symbolically take the pressure off of the iraqi government as well because you see it's not just the iraqi government that is doing this and many analysts here believe this is pressure that is coming on from various allies from the iraqi government vis-a-vis russia to scale back its operation and there have also been protests in baghdad by iraqi malitia. yesterday there were pro-ngo to prot

they were going to use an interview he did on television with martin bashir where they claim he made incriminating statements. they claimed other young men were figure to come forward. they had civil settlements and the idea was, nobody could withstand this kind of prosecution. we went through a five-month trial. the witnesses turned out to be not credible. it's like bowling pins cross-examining these people. they would come in with outlandish statements and on cross-examination, they would crumble. so i'm disturbed by the political nature of the case, that somebody ran for office on the basis that he would file charges and then he gets into office and files charges two days before the statute has run. i'm disturbed by the fact that this woman filed a civil case and apparently collected money. that's going to be an issue in the case as well. and i think there's a lot to defend here, although i'm not involved in the case. i don't represent mr. cosby and i don't know a lot about the evidence, but i'm very disturbed by the way this momentum is building in the media to almost condemn him

but the only thing that was clear was the shock of it all expressed by eight-year-old bashir who livese home when he was questioned by poli police. >> i told them i didn't want it to happen again and can ya'll get it over with? and i don't want it to happen to nobody else. >> reporter: some conflicting theories as to why this happened. we do know that several homes on this block of east montana street have security cameras outside and there's a big camera right at the end of the block. but it's too early to say whether those videos would show anything that would shed some light on this bizarre case. in east mt. airy, i'm bruce gordon, fox 29 news. >>> three passengers hurt when a southwest jet slides off the runway in tennessee tonight. the plain reportedly had just landed from a flight from houston to nashville and was heading to the gate when it landed in a ditch. about 140 people were on board. there are no reports of any serious injuries. >>> robbery suspect tried to make a run from an oklahoma courthouse. did he say tease were around but somebody took him down. 1984 old israel poi

world and destabilizes our enemies overseas. >> senator graham. >> it is absolutely imperative that bashirke obama made was drawing a red line. assad crossed it, he's still standing. if i'm president, assad will not stand. he's murdered 240,000 of his own people. they're not going to accept him as their leader. the war never ends if he stays in power. you're giving damascus to the iranians. he's a puppet of the ayatollah, a proxy of iran. he's the biggest benefactor of hezbollah. weapons flow from damascus to lebanon will continue to flow. he must go. if i'm president, he will go. the syrians will pick their leader, not the ayatollah. >> only thing i disagree with, i still believe if you take away their ability to fund their weaponry and fund their terrorism, they don't have terrorism. i still say we need to take an offensive owe proech using our energy, the one weapon we have, we have hundreds of years of energy under our feet the president thinks the climate change is the number one enemy. i think people bombing us is a bigger enemy than the temperature change over several hundred years.

but the only thing that was clear was the shock of it all expressed by eight-year-old bashir who lives in the home when he was questioned by police. >> i told them i didn't want it to happen again. can ya'll get over with and i don't want it to happen to nobody else. >> reporter: as you heard in our report, tyree price is not buying the police theory of the domestic incident kicking all of this off again he believes this was a hate crime. the price family has not been allowed back in their home here on east montana street while police await approval on a search warrant. so a bizarre afternoon here lucy and still again much more theories and questions than answers. >> all right, bruce gordon live in east mt. airy, thank you to developing story involving the nation's second largest school district. it was a hoax after a threat shut down 900 schools and 187 charter schools in los angeles today. our joyce evans is here night witness end of a confusing and at times scary day for people out west, joyce. >> guys you better believe it. it was a scary day for them. the los angeles unified schoo

thing the american people want is a war with a nuclear armed power like russia over syria or -- and bashir assad. so i think the republican party is too far out in the neocon hawkish position on this, except, frankly, for cruz and trump who seem to want to get along with mr. putin. >> and for rand paul. he may not be in the same league. but i was -- >> rand paul had a great night. >> i was thrilled to have his voice on the stage, because but for rand paul and to a lesser extent cruz and trump, you're right, we wouldn't have heard that argument. and the argument is, we're not necessarily making ourselves safe every time we open a new base in response to isis. >> exactly. and what they're saying is, i think, they're national security conservatives. if the vitals are at stake and i am perilled, we've got to tell our adversaries. but the idea we're going to start shooting down russian planes in syria is madness. >> patrick buchanan, thank you as always. >> thank you, michael. and, again, merry christmas. >> you too, sir. >>> this and so much more to get into this week. and joining me, former m

trial the prosecutors brought in a quote from an interview that michael jackson had given to martin bashir. they thought it would convict him. when they did that, they opened up the interview where i could play tapes where he protested innocence. he said i would never harm a child. i would slit my wrist before i would do that. if they bring in any portions, likely there will be other portions where he said i will never do anything wrong. be careful what you wish for. you may get it. i'm skeptical about a lot of what i'm hearing. >> spencer, we're coming to you. but i have to say, one of cosby's key attorneys is no longer working with him. would you be interested in taking this case on? >> well i'm a defense lawyer. i think everyone should be accorded the benefit of being innocent until proven guilty. we have a great system of justice. i have no problem defending bill cosby or anyone similarly charged and i'm offended by the politics and the media coverage of a case like this. it makes people targets. it makes people with political ambitions go after others that they normally wouldn't go af
