signi significance, elliot? >> well, you know, the question that didn't show up there at the very, very end, the prosecution comes back on redirect and says, well, look, yes, sometimes you need to escalate to de-escalate, but you actually have to be safe, right? and so a police officer can't escalate a situation without actually paying attention to the safety of the circumstances around them. so for instance, one of the examples they used today was, you might pull out a gun, which is itself an act of escalation, but you're not going to fire it at the person as a means of just making everybody safe. you might use a neck restraint, but you're also not going to use it to a point that you put the person's own life in danger. so it was a poorly used analogy by the defense, and the prosecutor exploited it when they had a chance to clean it up. >> you have gotten several head nods from a man who knows the job very well at the highest level. former acting police commissioner in baltimore, anthony barksdale, always a ple

and we tend to forget -- robert brown elliot was born free in liverpool. there was so much action, so much excitement about reconstruction that elliot shows up in boston, he's part of the british navy. born three in liverpool, educated, he's part of the british navy. shows up in boston. hears about all this opportunity in south carolina, goes to south carolina, richard harvey cane had been moved to revitalize mother emmanuel. you all know mother emmanuel because that's where the nine martyrs were so horribly murdered that day. a great entrepreneur starts a black newspaper and hires elliot to work for him. and then elliot runs for the sate legislature and then for the congress. when richard greener graduates from harvard in 1870, endless opportunities, does he go to new york? does he go to boston? stay in boston? does he go to philadelphia? no, he goes to charleston, south carolina, because that's where the action was. we can't imagine that today. you can't imagine how much promise and energy and optimism. think about it. think about what that was like if y

elliot asanoff. i had the pleasure of meeting elliot, late in his life. we were watching -- we were watching a -- a series on espn, which was premiering. and he seemed like a very nice fellow. he was suffering from lyme disease then. but i -- when i first read "eight men out," when -- i would have been in high school. i -- it was terrific. and it is a brilliant narrative. it is such a wonderfully-written book. and it -- it -- you just had the feeling that, okay, he's got it all. this is every detail in here. and it would be very hard for me to improve on it. and when i was writing my rothstein book, that was the idea i had at the beginning. and then, i tried to figure out the narrative. and it just didn't make any sense, whatsoever. if you took a look at the chronology of things and -- and how things were supposed to happen. it -- it just, sort of, fell apart. and i -- i wrote that in rothstein, respectfully. but, you know, it was like, you know, this -- this doesn't make sense. and here's how the narrative really went down with -- with arnold rothstein.

elliot page opening up about his first interview since coming out as a transgender man in december.> reporter: hey, michael, good morning. page saying this experience has not only been life changing but life saving. given what he calls the horrible backlash towards trans people in particular trans youth it was imperative he speak out. >> i mean, definitely obviously quite the journey. >> this morning elliot page in his first interview as an out trans man speaking with oprah about his decision to transition. >> with this platform i have the privilege that i have and knowing the pain and the difficulties and the struggles i faced in my life, let alone what so many other people are facing, it absolutely felt just crucial and important for me to share that. >> reporter: page starring in the movie "inception" also receiving an oscar nomination for "juno" in 2008. >> because you're like the coolest person i've ever met. >> reporter: first introducing himself as elliot on social media last december writing, i can't begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who i am enough to

elliot, i want to start with you as our law enforcement mind. just when i thought i could erase the names lev parnas and igor furman from my memory bank. can you tell us what rudy giuliani was digging up dirt on donald trump's potential political enemies? >> the foreign agent registration act, and what it says is that when individuals lobby the federal government, our government, on behalf of another government, they have to make a notice about it or declare it on the federal government. it's quite simple. we as a nation want to know when people are acting on behalf of foreign governments, and the ukrainian government here. that's really what's at issue here. all this stuff about hunter biden and so on, the question is did rudy giuliani improperly advocate on behalf of ukrainian interest to the federal government. so, the question here is -- i think what's striking is the nature of the lobbying. when you talk about the various reasons why people lobby the federal government, some might be for more pork bellies or, you know, to launder the public

and it's disgusting. >> best benefit to the officers, elliot. williams heard. i know she said that they didn't find a weapon at the scene. i haven't heard about any weapon being at the scene. but again, absent the body-camera footage, best benefit of the doubt to the officers, even if the first shot was from brown jr., at the police. what are you allowed to do, with that person, who is now fleeing in a vehicle from you? >> well, again, the officers are allowed to make an assessment as to whether the individual presents an imminent threat of serious-bodily harm or death to people around him. now, you know, we can start hairsplitting as to whether one shot fired or so on. but -- >> we don't even know that that was from him. i have no reason to believe it was. it wasn't reported as such. the police didn't say it was. they only said he had a history of resisting. i am giving every benefit to the cops, in the analysis. >> right. i am merely playing with your hypothetical here, chris. that's exactly is, right? number one, this imminent threat of bodil

elliot williams, former prosecutor. good to have you both.metria williams, bark, what sense do you make of what the deputies were doing? >> i think the deputies were screwing up. that's what i think. we're talking about a vehicle moving away. we can, all, remember the sean bell shooting in new york many years ago, where officers fired 50 shots. and there is a thing that, in policing, we call it contagious fire, where one fires, the other one fires, the other one fires. it can happen. and, instead of being honest and owning -- owning this. they use these laws to cover it up. and it's disgusting. >> best benefit to the officers, elliot. the first gunshot that demetria williams heard. i know she said that they didn't find a weapon at the scene. i haven't heard about any weapon being at the scene. but again, absent the body-camera footage, best benefit of the doubt to the officers, even if the first shot was from brown jr., at the police. what are you allowed to do, with that person, who is now fleeing in a vehicle from you? >> well, again, the o

elliot, so good to see you.ek of testimony in the case that the prosecution is putting on. how does the defense rebut such powerful system from these medical experts who say in no unce uncertain terms that george floyd died because of his interaction with this police officer and others? >> so there's a few ways they do that, fredricka. one, they put their own experts on. and certainly in trials often you see the battle of the experts, where everybody brings out their ph.d.s or doctors to fight with each other, in effect, about what the cause of death was. this was incredibly compelling, believable, credible testimony. oh, and, you know, frankly, another way to do it is to attack the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses. they couldn't really do that because the folks that got put on were all unquestionably experts, unquestionably credentialed and believable. so really this comes down to either, a, a fight amongst the experts, or b, just trying to plant enough doubt in the jury's mind about the cause of deat

elliot spitzer's presidential campaign team is thrilled upon hearing the news. request to drop 6,000 cases. sex workers were unfairly targeted. the decision by lawmakers to repeal a statute criminalizing lawyering for the purposes of prostitution. that's why that lady hangs out in front of my apartment. i thought she was air drying her thong. i will go to the libertarian. >> kat: i think it doesn't go far enough. decriminalizing sex work, doesn't have to be underground. the fact that it's underground increases violence. you can still prosecute the clients and the sex workers can be arrested so they're going to have to hide things which makes them afraid to go to the police if they are experiencing violence. he can make trafficking worse and harder to detect. it's a positive step we've got to lead a completely be taken. he >> greg: it could be a huge boost to the gross domestic product. a phrase i just learned. >> larry: can i stay in new york city all the craziness. you've got a bunch of crazy people running the city council. he got a bunch of crazy people runni

and we've been living in a golden era of female rappers with legends like missy elliot, lil kim and laurynllion and cardi "b," dancing with a certain african who misplaced by ticket to the agreements. do you know female rappers have been huge in every rerra, ever era, every, every, rerra. rap history is full of woman who have largely been forgotten, like sylvia robinson, the woman who helped create hip hop. sylvia was a singer, record producer, label executive, and the first person to rock the ferrell hat. she took rap from little-known basement parties in the bronx to worldwide commercial success in 1979 by conceiving and producing rap's first hit record, "rapper's delight." not only was it the first rap single to conquer the chartses, it also sold over a million copies. that's right. it went platinum. and back then, we didn't even know what that was. they had to whip out a periodic table. and women were all over hip hop early era, like sharon green. she got her start in the south bronx rapping at parties. which was tough. not just because no one had heard a woman rapping before, but also

this suspect, brian elliot of 38 year's old, murdered his mother, con vic of murdering his mother, was let out on the streets with what's called life-time parole, joe, what is life-time parole and how do you monitor somebody for a lifetime? >> new york has decided to make parole laws and ability to release convicted criminals easy under the tenure of andrew cuomo. remember, it is him who appoints the overwhelming majority of members to the parole board. people that we should be trusting to make decisions whereas if you killed your own mother, perhaps there should be a very high standard of whether or not you should be returned to the streets. so, again, this is one of those scenarios where it's not surprising. the mayor of new york touted that we have the lowest population on rikers island. i would be happy for him, but not corresponding to a reduction in crime and not corresponding to a reduction in this sort of street crime that opportunist like the hate crime perpetrators have used to do a horrible things to asian and jewish and many other new yorkers. eric: finally, rikers is the c

cnn for the last ten years has not had a woman in prime time sin parker when she hosted a show with elliotbc and fox news have had host in prime time. on one level there's a little bit of performative diversity that comes on here. okay, if you had one versus zero, it's one more. at the same time, i think that this is the ship that we are seeing and jim is out at the end of the year, i would be shocked if it's white male take his seat. howie: nice to see you. next on media buzz, greg gutfeld on media bias and donald trump unloading on everyone to mitch mcconnell to anthony fauci. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ hearing loss is frustrating, but getting your hearing back shouldn't be. that's why we created a breakthrough way to make hearing easier than ever. lively hearing aids may be tiny, but they're packed with advanced technology and smart design. which means crystal clear sound, yet they're nearly invisible. it starts with an online hearing test, which you can take from your couch, favorite chair, or bed. we won't judge. speaking of being at home, our doctors come to you virtually. “hey! good to see

. >> reporter: mayor michael yacht s -- mike elliot fully supports the firing of this officer. the chief says i think we can look at the video and ascertain whether or not she'll be returning. at the moment that officer is on administrative leave. >>> now to the murder trial of the former police officer derek chauvin. our senior national correspondent sara sidner on the scene for us in minneapolis. court just wrapped up for the day, the prosecution getting close to resting after very emotional testimony today by george floyd's brother. >> reporter: absolutely. we heard from philones floyd who was extremely emotional talking about his big brother. as you said, the prosecution is getting very, very close to ending its case. >> hef was a big mama's boy. >> reporter: george floyd's brother took the stand to tell the jurors who his brother was before his death sparked world wide protests. >> he was a person that everybody loved around the community. he just knew how to make people feel better. >> reporter: floyd's family testimony is one of the last the jurors heard in the prosecuti

and brooklyn center's mayor michael elliot attended a vigil.h me is jelani cobb and paul butler. i want to start with you because you've been there on the ground. what the folks are saying and what you're seeing. we have photos that you took while you were on the ground. >> yeah. as you would imagine, it's a tense situation and so that photo you're looking at right there is the first night. one of the reasons why i think it's important to look at the first night is that, you know -- you know this as well as i do, with these events, there tends to be an arc or a curve where they start out with a certain degree, kind of small cluster of people who are outraged, they come out to protest, maybe two or three days later, it grows and sometimes it takes a week for people to get fully cognizant of what's going on. that is a few hours after daunte wright was killed. and by my estimation there were 400 people out there that night. those demonstrations have only grown and the news that this was allegedly a mistake only inflamed -- i don't think that they

. >> and cnn's chris cuomo spoke with legal analyst elliot williams.liams said the chief's appearance in court is so significant because a more credible testimony may be hard to find. >> even starting with the fact that the chief of police is even testifying in the first place is itself significant. very rarely does someone at that level of the police force ever testify in a criminal trial. so number one, that's profound, and then of course the fact that he laid out what the standards and policies were for the minneapolis police department so that they were clearly violated is itself significant. as you have and i have talked about, this is early, the defense still has to present their case and we're just seeing the prosecution's case here, but i have a hard time believing that the defense could at any point put forward a witness as certainly not the chief of police or a witness of that level of stature. so this was big. >> now, more important testimony also monday came from the doctor who pronounced george floyd dead. you will want to listen to this.
