elaine lui and back with me now, mark geragos, of course, and sally cohen in the hot seat. are celebrities really misbehaving more or just that we all joined the ranks of the pop ra paparazzis as consumers? >> i think celebrities are behaving the way they've always behaved. it's just now we have more ways than ever to observe them. in the past, they had people who do help them cover it up or at least help them remain behind the veil. but they're participating in these new social media ways, too. many celebrities have joined twitter n celebrities are posting very personal photos and intimate moments on insta gram. it's like they can't help but share their lives with us, too. so it's a give and take. the consumer wants more but they're wanting more because they're responding to a stimulus. and that stimulus is thrown out there by many celebrities. >> mark, then there are the leakers. someone leaked a video of the elevator fight between beyonce's sister and jay z. do you expect privacy in a place like that? i think you have an expectation of privacy in an elevator? >> you woul

also, sally cohen, casey jordan is a criminal ol gist and xavier acxavie xavier amador is joining megain as well. elliot rodger's mother asked the police to check on her son and the sheriff said they only found out about the videos after the murders. what should the police have done? did they do the right thing? >> i'm not going to second guess these particular officers without knowing their training but, no, in terms of the standard of practice when dealing with mentally ill persons, not enough was clearly done. and i'm not just monday morning quarterbacking here. what you want to do is look at other sources of information. talk to the parents. if they say he's posting, make sure you look at the postings, someone get online before you leave the home, find out what he's posting. if the information is there, you can act. and real quick, back to congressman murphy's bill, one of the things he's talking about is changing the standard for involuntary transport to a hospital for evaluation and treatment. from imminent danger, which is what they said, there's not an imminent danger, we're

. >> let's bring in our political commentators sally cohen and anna navara. does it ring true what jason carter's explanation is? >> i won't second-guess jason carter's own personal motives. he's part of a political trend upsetting in this country. you have a large swath of voters including a majority of republican voters who support common sense gun reforms. more americans feel unsafe with open carry laws than safe, right? most americans do not support them. but you have democrats increasingly and republicans running to the right and playing to this sort of extremely small but very vocal right wing base in the country and especially in states like georgia. and that's a troubling prospect. >> i want to talk about results last night. a lot of people to be fair including cnn have been casting their results from this election as a defeat for the tea party. if you look back on the history of this movement back to 2009, can you make the case that they have forced the republican party to adopt many of their ideas and while they may have lost the battle last night,

that's sally cohen writing today.uess who's here live to talk about that, on the right, sally, mel robbins is back as well, so sally, usually, i get where you're thinking, and you make a very cogent argument in your piece. typically terror involves organized groups and this is one crazy you know what. >> so two points to that. first all, it doesn't mean he's not crazy. and i would argue, i argue in the piece, that anyone who resorts to the mass killing of human beings in order to further a political ideology is by definition crazy. in every terrorist incident in the united states abroad we can think of. undoubtedly we can find people who would sympathize with those viewpoints but do not resort to bombs and guns and mass shootings and mass killings. i think anyone who does this is crazy. now, some people who are crazy, who commit mass violence, also have a political ideology. i think in this case, in particular, to think that misogyny, that the extreme hatred of women, as a group, is not a political ideology is not onl

let's talk about this with former house speaker newt gingrich, one of our hosts and sally cohen. have both of you on. welcome. >> nice to see you both. >> all right, newt, you get the first shot at this. a lot say he views america as a global power in decline. you watch the speech. do you believe that the speech reflects that belief on the part of the president? >> we're going to be debating this on cross fire tonight. i think it's a disappointing speech. the president has a particular philosophy and policy. i think he could defend it. i think he might have a surprising amount of support in the country. the country is tired of being spread around the world. the country is tired of fighting. this is an administration. it has been defeated so badly that they announced a $5 billion multinational training program across all of north africa and the middle east. al qaeda has not been defeated. we need an honest talk and honest disagreements. the president says if you don't agree with me you are misinformed or partisan. how do you have an honest dialogue with somebody who won't allow yo

cnn contributor sally cohen and ben ferguson is here. good morning everybody. great to see you. >> morning. >> sally, i'll start with you. we're talking about a simple problem that has turned into a huge partisan battle. is this the right fight to be having you think? >> it is the right issue to be focusing on as a country, right? we have a massive problem with childhood obesity. it has gotten three times worse in the last 30 years. it is a crisis. it's a crisis for families. it's certainly a crisis for our family. is it the right political battle to be having? i would argue not. the obamas didn't pick this political battle. for crying out loud she's trying to get kids to get healthy and exercise. republicans are hellbent on fighting any mott couple of success of the obama administration. >> would you be talking about ben ferguson? she has a point. let me get this in and you can answer. this new study says 30% of the people on this planet are overweight and obese. shouldn't we all be talking about tightening these rules and not easing them. >> and we did. the pr

. >> sally cohen, patricia murphy, thank you. >>> still to come in the "newsroom," "snl" has a littleurity video where jay z and his sister in long sol lang getting into the fight on the elevator. i'm j-a-n-e and i have copd. i'm d-a-v-e and i have copd. i'm k-a-t-e and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. breo is not for asthma. breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. breo won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. breo may increase your risk of pneumonia, thrush, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking breo. ask your doctor about b-r-e-o for copd. first prescri
