rahm emanuel can't govern now.he is in the position that he is is he was paid $25 million from his supporters to be here. >> reporter: appreciate it. thank you, sir. poppy, back to you. >> ryan, can you just repeat -- ryan, could you just repeat for our viewers what bill was filed? what are they calling for for mayor rahm emanuel? >> reporter: so essentially they wanted to put a house bill in the state so they could repeal or to recall rahm emanuel. they said basically that provision wasn't put out there just yet. this is the first time we've heard of a state representative stepping forward to do this. >> okay. >> reporter: it just happened. the young manmade the announcement right in front of our camera. >> all right. thank you. yeah, we really appreciate that. sunny hostin with me, danny savls -- >> i think it's interesting sign a bill to get a dually elected mayor to resign from office. look at the sentiment going on in chicago. i know there was a poll published by the illinois observer commissioned by the insid

but many activists say rahm emanuel bears responsibility as well t.ccarthy's firing came rather suddenly, in fact, superintendent mccarthy was an a radio station tuesday morning saying he still believed he had the backing of rahm emanuel. a few hours later, that announcement was made. rahm emanuel insists he is ultimately responsible for the way all of this is handled. he's called for a task force to limit the way these complaints against police officers are handled. but that is a task force that has a deadline of march of next year to come back with a final report. >> thank you for that. new plans to send additional u.s. commandos in iraq in the fight against isis. ash carter revealing the pentagon is organizing what it's calling a special targeting force. carter telling lawmakers the plan quote puts everyone on notice. you don't know at fight who will be coming into the window. the latest now from pentagon correspondent barbara starr. >> reporter: christine, allison, in the weather of criticism, the administration making a renewed effort to show pro

it came as demonstrators called for mayor rahm emanuel's resignation for a second straight day. otesters stained what they called a die-in and marched with signs that read "do no harm" and "fire emanuel." this comes of publicly released videos showing multiple officer involved shootings. and the mayor continued to try to reach out to the city, attempting to rebuild the public's trust. joining me now is former virginia governor doug wilder. good to see you, sir. >> chuck, always good to talk with you. i wish you well in your expanded endeavors. >> thank you so, sir. let me start with getting your reaction. you've probably known rahm emanuel a little bit. >> i've never met him. >> oh, is that right? >> no. you have to go to the white house to meet him and i didn't meet him there. >> we will file that away for a minute there. but let met ask you, give me your advice to him from afar, watching him have to deal with this. >> i'm watching the protesters. my advice to them would be don't stop. continue to demand what is right, and to criticize what is wrong. and leadership means to do j

breaking this hour, rahm emanuel says, i'm sorry. two words you rarely hear from the chicago mayor's mouth. this coming after he faced sharp criticism throughout the country and most especially in chicago after his handling of the city's police department after the dash-cam video of laquan mcdonald's death. we'll show you the protesters. they're taking to the streets. you can hear them calling for his resignation. this on the heals of that debacle situation where the police department held on to that videotape for roughly 13 months until avram emanuel became mayor. he was up for re-election. he held on to the video. recently was released. people were very disturbed by it. we have much more coming up on this story as protesters take to the streets of chicago calling for rahm emanuel east resignation. i'm trish regan. welcome, everyone to "the intelligence report." we'll head out to chicago with more on breaking story. meanwhile another story breaking this hour, the fbi is pouring through the san bernardino's killers past. their six mo

>> are the media hyping the alleged antidonald trump effort when no one is leading it rahm emanuel facing calls for his resignation and a police coverup a year after an officer under indictment was captured on video shooting a black teen 16 times. is the press getting tough on the chicago mayor? i am howard kurtz and this is "media buzz" now. the "new york times" with a page one editorial calls for batching of weapons and ammunition and saying there is no need to debate the second amendment declaring it is a national disgrace and moral outrage civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency. joining us to analyze the media role inñr this fast moving story and the impact on presidential campaign is ed henry, the chief white house correspondent covering hillary clinton and a jim geraghty, and penny lee, a democratic strategist and commentator. everyone weighing in on "new york times" taking the step of putting the pro gun control measures on the front page. >> >> without agreeing or disagreeing with what they want it is what big m

blocking traffic, protesting mayor rahm emanuel. he did apologize today for the situation that has been emerging for the past month, that involved the release of a videotape that showed the shooting of a 17-year-old african-american who was shot 16 times back in october of 2014. so it took that long to release this video which activists were saying put it out there, shot by a police officer, and you can see that these frustrated protesters have been traversing the streets of chicago, impeding business and traffic, letting their voice be heard. they want to see rahm emanuel resign. they cannot force him to. you've got these rules in illinois, you can't force the mayor of chicago to resign. he would have to do it on his own here. he has apologized for the delays in the release of the video and the way the police handled it. again, i know my producers are telling me to go, i need to stay on it. it appears it is tense at the moment. the dow jones industrials down 112 points at the moment. nasdaq down 86. we've got our eye on that market

that makes republicans, senatorial candidates much, much, much more concerned than anything than rahm emanuels doing right now. yes, there is concern, but not as much. and i think with the steps rahm's taking, hopefully that will quiet the concern. >> thank you so much to the roundtable. erin mcpike, jay newton small, thank you very much. when we return, let me finish for the choice in 2016. up yourk plumpify your lashes with new plumpify mascara a ginormous lash lifting brush boosts lashes to 50 times the volume and lifts lashes up up and away... new plumpify mascara from easy breezy beautiful covergirl and try new trunaked shadows and liners >> important message for women and men ages 50 to 85. please write down this toll-free number now. right now, in areas like yours, people are receiving this free information kit for guaranteed acceptance life insurance with a rate lock through the colonial penn program. if you're on a fixed income or concerned about rising prices, learn about affordable whole life insurance with a lifetime rate lock that guarantees your rate can never increase for any r

rahm emanuel has always argued, never let a crisis go to waste.fference is this crisis is spiraling out of his control. he can't control the narrative. and it's going to require a very different kind of playbook, and the public's right to know. >> this really is a classic case of the press eventually belatedly finally forcing some of facts to light. carol marin, thanks very much. >> my pleasure, howie. >>> still to come, how politico got cozy with one of the clintons and why the tale of female meteorologists and a certain dress went utterly viral. that's today? we'll be with her all day to see how it goes. after the deliveries, i was ok. now the ciabatta is done and the pain is starting again. more pills? seriously? seriously. all these stops to take more pills can be a pain. can i get my aleve back? for my pain, i want my aleve. get all day minor arthritis pain relief with an easy open cap. . >>> mike allen politico's most influential columnist now regrets the way he tried to woo chelsea clinton for an interview. as i noted in our after the buzz

look, i served with rahm emanuel. i admire rahm emanuel. he did a great job for the president. he has tried to be a good mayor. but i'm going to tell you this. if, in fact, he knew there was a cover-up and if he knew that there was a cover-up happening maybe to keep from losing a re-election and he put his re-election over a murder, he does not deserve to be the mayor of chicago. he has to be investigated. those mothers are not alone. there are mothers across that city who could tell you the same story. the police either don't protect or they abuse. you have communities that are now feeling every single day that the police do a good job of punishing, a bad job of protecting. they can cover up their own crimes, but they can't solve crimes in the neighborhood. and this mayor may not be able to lead that. >> harry, i've got to say, you saw the police spokesman soon after that shooting coming out and saying the officer was, you know -- laquan mcdonald lunged at the officer. the video certainly doesn't bear that out at all. >> no. i mean, i spoke about this before also. i think that

rahm emanuel says he is responsible for how this is handled. he has called for a task force to look at the way complaints against police officers are handseled. >> that is a task force that has a deadline of march of next year to come back with a final report. christine, allison. >> ed, thanks, for that. new plans to send additional u.s. revealing the pentagon is organizing what it is calling a specialized expeditionary force. carter saying the plan would take advantage of american forces unique capability and quote long reach. >> reporter: it putting everybody on notice in syria, that you don't know at night who is going to be coming in the window. and that's the sensation we want all of isil's leadership and followers to have. >> the iraqi prime minister says there is no need for foreign groups on the ground in iraq. on his facebook page the prime minister writes the iraqi government stresses any deployment of foreign forces, special or not, in any place in iraq cannot happen without his approval and coordination and full respect of iraqi sov

rahm emanuel is someone who controls the narrative.case, the narrative is, to some degree, controlling him. he cancelled a trip to paris to meet with the president on climate change for this week. he likes to see himself as a player on the world stage, the national stage. and in one of the biggest cities in the world. he had to stay at home and make that decision today. i think he truly has felt the heat. he's also famous for saying you never let a good crisis go to waste. this crisis has got him really handcuffed. i don't believe he'll resign, but i think he's going to have to do more than he has done to date. >> is there a feeling that the police superintendent was a scapegoat here, in that he praised him -- actually praised some of his behavior in the firing announcement. inexplicab inexplicably, he is on your station hours earlier. clearly, he didn't think he was about to be fired. >> no, not until he was spotted in city hall, looking quite upset. but he stood as a kind of shield between rahm emmanuel and the public. it's the mayor

the best efforts of rahm emanuel, he announced reform today. he gave his apology, really -- demands of black leadership here in chicago that he apologize. all of the reforms, a lot of these people didn't listen. they said, quite literally that they didn't want to listen to anything he had to say. back to you, shep. >> mike, has this been largely peaceful or how would you describe it? >> largely peaceful. and as you look at the -- see if you can get a look at some of the police presence. as you look at some of the police presence, i call it a soft profile of the police. you don't see the heavy riot gear. you don't see anything other than bike patrols. but yes, in answer to your question, largely peaceful. we haven't seen rocks thrown, bottles thrown, anything to that effect. >> what else are you hearing from mayor emanuel? >> well, he announced his long list of reforms earlier today. he said that he was going to try to re-establish a new relationship with the community, particularly in the troubled community. -- was going to retrain police. who

that can't help rahm emanuel. so rahm emanuel is of them, as the former chief of staff.ion is how much can they help their old buddy? lou: and how much do they want to now? let's turn to donald trump. 35% in south carolina. this man calling for a temporary ban against muslim immigrants and refugees into the united states. >> right. lou: his numbers went up. >> that's amazing. lou: is it amazing, or just the fact that the american people, i mean the president goes on television for 13 minutes sunday night and says not a thing except i want your guns. the national liberal media doesn't have the guts to say the man is delusional. >> you and i disagree. i will say this, you were right when you said to me a couple nights ago you said this would not impact trump. and it has not according to the polls. we're in a primary process and overwhelmingly republicans, and i might say not a few democrats, think we have too many immigrants, especially from the middle east, in this country. lou: i don't believe that that's -- certainly not what trump intended in my judgment. i think what

rahm emanuel has a lot to answer for. doesn't begin to address the issue, not just address it politically and truly address it and truly talk to the victims and people being affected he will have problems. it is not boeing away. he is on vacation now. when he has to come back he has to come back to track kel this. this problem will not go away because some other political issue will come up. it is endemic, systemic problem. he is the mayor. buck stops with him. not just about the police department but him as well. jedediah: melissa if he doesn't resign what kind of message does that send the rest of the country? you see they tension between police and community across the country. we're trying to figure out how we address it so the community feels protected by police and you don't have this division. if he doesn't step down given his lack of leadership on this issue what kind of messages it it send. melissa: i'm being really cynical. i don't think he cares about what message sending to the country. it is about hanging on

damage that's being done, to some of their most prominent surrogates, quite frankly, one of whom is rahm emanuel, how does the hillary clinton campaign deal with emanuel now? >> well, rahm emanuel has not been a prominent surrogate to date in the way that if you mean by that, joy, that he's traveled or he's been prominent in fund-raising, so, she has stood by him, so far, but that was before the second shooting incident that took place over the weekend, where two people were killed by police, including a 55-year-old grandmother, who just opened the door to let the police in. so we don't -- i don't expect rahm emanuel now to have any prominent role in the campaign. he has a lot to do in chicago. he is very damaged and there is damage that he needs to repair. >> lynn, let me play you what hillary clinton recently said when she was asked if she had confident in rahm emanuel's leadership and i have question on the other side. >> do you still have confidence in the mayor of the city where he was born? >> i do. he loves chicago and i'm confident he's going to do everything he can to get to the bottom

should rahm emanuel keep his job? plus donald trump says he's going easy on clinton. >> she says oh we'd love to run against trump. >> but he's going hard on chris christie saying there is no way the new jersey governor didn't know about bridgegate. let's talk live in the cnn "newsroom." >> i'm poppy harlow. thank you for being with us. captured in mexico, the man hunt now over for the so called affluenza teen, ethan couch. nabbed by authorities in a vacation hot spot of puerta vallarta along with his mother. you see the mug shot there. we haven't seen an image of him in quite a long time. officials had been searching for the two of them for several weeks. that's after couch violated his parole. he made head lines for getting just probation after killing four people while driving drunk. couch's defense attorney claimed his family's wealth meant that he didn't understand limits or accountability. that was dubbed the affluenza defense and it got him only parole. let's talk about it with cnn justice correspondent evan pe

the killings of her new goals for chicago mayor rahm emanuel to resign. evelyn glover, the cousin of bettie jones, spoke out with a message for the mayor. >> [indiscernible] i want my cousin's death avenged. you killed her in cold blood. emanuel? >> step down. >> emanuel, callyour boys. the chicago police along the you. vigilante, you have been sending the chicago police out to kill, to do nothing but kill. [indiscernible] because that is your mission, you lying demon. mayor emmanuel was already under pressure to resign over the more than one-year-old police killing of 17 year old laquan mcdonald in a potential police cover-up. mcdonald was shot 16 times by white police officer jason van dyke. dashcam video only recently released by court order clearly contradicts police claims about the shooting. we will go to chicago for more on the story later in the broadcast. at least 43 people died over the christmas holiday weekend in the series of storms that hit the south, southwest and midwest. missouri and new mexico have declared a state of emergency. tornadoes

this is rahm emanuel much under fire. the take charge mayor and former obama chief of staff in a way we have not seen him because he's also having to answer why he waited a year to look at that video, why he didn't take action before and why in fact there was that 86-minute gap in a related burger king video and police officers shown by our own wmaq were in that burger king for many hours, possibly tampering with the video. that is the charge and the suspicion. >> that's absolutely right. he is definitely on the back foot, definitely defensive. his critics will say he has a lot to be defensive about. the question was asked about whether there was any political calculation in holding on to this video. remember, this is -- chicago has very off-year elections. he was just re-elected this spring to a second term. he was forced into a run-off. that settlement that he spoke of, the $5 million the chicago city council approved to go to the family of laquan mcdonald was approved just four days after he was re-elected and clearly,

or is this all about rahm emanuel? >> reporter: they're also asking for the resignation of aanyona alvarez. she's the person they blame for the fact that this video of the police shooting didn't get released for over a year. so there's a lot of that involved as well. but frankly it comes down to a rights issue here in the city of chicago. many of these people today are young, many of them for example left high school early today. i have spoken to a number of high school seniors, you know, aren't even old enough to vote in this country, but talking to me about how they want to put democracy in action in the city of chicago. as many people know, the people in the south side of the city, for example, often feel that they are underrepresented in this town, people feel that that is the place where so much crime takes place, and yes they are underrepresented by the police force. and then all of a sudden, of course, craig, things come to the forewhen there's an incident like this awful police sheeting that took place over a y
