[cheers and applause] thank you very much. very kind. thank you. thank you so much. welcome to the "the nightly show." they tell us larry. spike lee is joining us tonight. [cheers and applause] very cool. before we begin though i'm sure you all have heard of this shooting in san bernardino right now it's a horrible situation and still unfolds as we're taping and our heart goes out to everybody. this is really unacceptable of the heels of the shoot at planned parenthood it's overwhelming. it's happening too much. let me see if i can put it in perspective there's been 355 mass shootings this year and we are only on calendar day 336. this has really got to stop. all right. that's all i can say. anyhow, enough talking about the shootings from this year, let's talk about one from last year. >> this morning the chicago police chief has been fired amid outrage over the videotaped killing o

he said, "spike, i like your films".e said, "my problem is is that i don't like the title," which i didn't come up with. the term chi-raq came off local chicago rappers who thought, and i think rightfully so, where they live... southwest... west... on the southwest side of chicago, is a war zone. >> and the numbers confirm it. >> yes. the dubious numbers. and then he also said that this film will hurt tourism and economic development. well, i would like to tell you this. while we were filmin' chi-raqin chicago, nfl commissioner roger goodell had the nfl draft. >> just a little event. >> 250,000 people were in grant park for the (unintel). then you had the grateful dead's last five concerts at soldier field. then you had lollapalooza. those three events. you couldn't get a hotel room. you couldn't get a restaurant. >> couldn't get a rental. >> you couldn't get a car... chicago was jumpin'. nfl draft, grateful dead, lollapalooza, all happened while we were filmin' chi-raq. but that's all downtown. so this goes back to a ta

something got spike lee real mad.my nicholson says chi-rac is a marvel. >> spike is back. next up is graham pass, a horror comedy starring adam scott and toni collette. instead of coal, the children of eastern europe have had a darker punishment around christmastime in the form of the beast flamed graham pass. when the squabbling of a family causes a young boy to lose his faith in christmas, the ancient beast is unleashed on the family who must come together in order to survive. >> how many ammo do you have? >> i a couple shells still loaded. maybe a dozen in my pocket. why? >> i think our best bet is to stay put. board up all the doors and windows and as soon as the weather breaks, we'll go find her. >> i told you we should have gone to my brother's. >> he sure on a pig farm. >> jesus was born in a barn. >> critics are being naughty and nice on this one. tim robe by saying it's too black hearted to feel like any kind of classic and veneta of the upcoming calling it a refreshing antidote to the persistent yuletide joy

spike is here with us. good morning, good to see you. >> had your star nick cannon. >> yeah. >> jennifer hudson. >> angela bassett. >> was this your dream cast because a lot of them have ties to chicago and also are activists less. >> especially jennifer, john cusack, so we got the people i wanted and everybody came through and from the get go we told people this film got to save lives with this film. that was the premise from the beginning. timely with the tape of laquan mcdonald that came out and everything that's happening in chicago right now. who did you make this film for? >> everybody, because i think gun violence affects all americans. sometimes we just think it's just in the hood, just black folks, but gun violence affects everybody in this country. >> the name of the film "chiraq," i lived in chicago for ten years and there's a lot of controversy behind that name and what did you want it to be the title? tell people what does it mean? >> the term "chiraq," local chicago rappers came with that term

"yes, spike." "action!" >> stephen: tomorrow-- there is actually a video that's coming out, in chicago. >> i think it's coming out today. >> stephen: today? >> yes. >> stephen: of a young man named laquan mcdonald who was shot by police, and the police officer-- >> stephen: what? >> one officer. >> stephen: one officer, and he has been indicted, for the shooting. some people were against this cam video, it's being released today. better to see the event, even if can incite a violent reaction? because people are very worried about this video being released. >> right. i think that, number one, they're worried because they think black folks of chicago are going to run amok, and i don't know that that's necessarily so. i think there is a way of having peaceful demonstrations without tearing stuff up. that's what i feel. and i got that from father pflegler in chicago. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: i hope you're right. i hope it is peaceful. >> i am hopeful that nothing crazy happens, but i'm glad that the t

and later spike lee gets candid about his latest film "chi-raq." my interview ahead. >> part of the objection to that term -- >>> he's taken a page from the playbook of hitler. donald trump is literally trying to radicalize our fellow americans against our american muslim and international muslim brothers and sisters. >> he feels that we are at war. >> he's an [ bleep ] hole. i mean, i apologize, reverends. >> that was philadelphia mayor michael nutter with a response to donald trump's proposal to ban muslim visitors to the country and immigrants. the press conference was held alongside the leaders of the philly religious community after, this is important, a bloody pig's head was found thrown at a local mosque overnight, an incident that was captured on surveillance tape. also it's not the only potential hate crime reported today. a somali restaurant in south dakota was set on fire where nazi graffiti had been painted on the exterior. we'll take a deeper look at islamic xenophobia next. >>> this was from the center for >>> this was from the center

. >> stars gathered at the chicago theatre for a special screening of spike lee's drama about gang >> many of the people in the film are people who are in that community. so it wasn'like we were hiring actors- other people from other towns. we were immersed in the community. so it was- i won't say effortless, but we didt have to create the environment. we were in the real environment with real mothers, people who have lost their children, and people who are grieving, and people who are trying to make a difference, and take the city back block by block. when you're in the hands of spike lee, and you understand that he's the leader and he's going to steer the ship, you've got to just go along for the ride, but it was beautiful. i mean, being familiar with lysistrata and the story, and understanding everything from verse and the ideologies of greek theater and love and war, and being able to put that into modern day south side chicago is pretty cool. >> there were so many amazing people that were a part of this community and the cinematic community period. working wiwi them i was just it

spike lee is no stranger to controversy. for 30 years he's directed and produced films that went against the grain of hollywood. some of which include jungle fever, malcolm x and red hook summer. his latest movie, "chi-raq," promises to be another one. i sat down with perhaps one of the greatest independent >> we're going to have to organize. >> spike lee, thanks for joining us on "our world." how are you doing? >> all is good. >> you are a legendary director considered worldwide unquestionable. >> what question are you asking? you're asking me? >> you're legendary. but what i find to be fascinating is how could a legendary director have a hard time making a film? >> well, legendary doesn't necessarily transform into getting your film made. hollywood is the film business. and we're in a situation where the people who make the what films don't get made, do not reflect the audience of the united states of america. they do not reflect the diversity of this country. and thank god for amazon, my agent and i bart walker went to su

a it appears he was actually able to grab hold of the new spike i canner spikes because of his low-techf a cheap pair of padded weight lifting gloves. apparently that's all it took. all this extra spike i can welded security, right? a whole addition to the white house fence can apparently be foiled with weight lifts gloves you can buy at the gym for 20 bucks. it's not supposed to be an end all-be all until they submit a design solution for some hole new fence this upcoming summer. but whatever they come up with, let this be a lesson, right? to test a thing against basic sporting good technology that maybe even somebody busy writing his own version of a constitution and printing into a binder that he's going to jump the fence with, even somebody like that has time and opportunity to find this kind of equipment at the local trip mall. he thought it was so good he beat it with this. that does it for us tonight. we'll see you again to recall. now it's time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. good evening, lawrence. >> good evening. thank you very much. what does this mean to you wh

kcci's mark tauscheck spoke with police about why the number spiked this year. aixa: -- mark: in april, a bar fight in the parking lot outside gerri's bar and grill in des moines left andrew purcell unconscious and bleeding after being punched in the face, falling and hitting his heaon the asphalt. he later died. police charged 29-year-old daniel patton with voluntary manslaughter. according to des moines police out of the 21 homicides in des , moines this year purcell's death was the only homicide where the killer and the victim did not know each other. >> we look at each event as it's we do that and we start picking

and later spike lee gets candid about his latest film "chi-raq." my interview ahead. >> part of the objection to that term -- mom. the twins. aunt alice... you didn't tell me aunt alice was coming. of course. don't forget grandpa. can the test drive be over now? maybe just head back to the dealership? don't you want to meet my family? yep, totally. it's practically yours, but we still need your signature. the volkswagen sign then drive event. zero due at signing, zero down, zero deposit, and zero first months payment on a new jetta and other select models. if a cold keeps you the up at nightis... you can't just catch up on sleep the next day. new alka-seltzer plus night cold & cough liquid relieves tough cold symptoms and quiets coughs for up to 8 hours... ...to help you sleep at night. new alka-seltzer plus night liquid. great change comes from doing the right thing. like the radical idea that health isn't an industry. it's a cause. so we do things differently. we combine care and coverage. and believe prevention is the most powerful of cures. so

the the mayor never said, spike, don't make this film, that needs to be stated.did say he did not like the title and the title he felt would harm tourism and economic development, which is not true. >> brown: it won't? it hasn't. so, again, we go to charles dickens. the tale of two cities. there is two chicagos. and tourism, there are no tour buses going through the south side of chicago. >> brown: people go to the movies and think of them as entertainment, escape, but is this art a call to action as a kind of witness? >> there may be different audiences. you can have an entertaining film that makes you think, too. it doesn't have to be one or the other. i think in that same vein, "chi-raq" has humor but it's very serious subject matter. not everyone will want to see "star wars" this christmas. i want to see it, but there are many different audiences. >> brown: lee has also been critical of his own industry for lack of diversity including a recent rebuke when he was awarded an honorary oscar. >> this industry is so behind sports it's ridiculous. it's easy to be t

and later spike lee gets candid about his latest film "chi-raq." my interview ahead. >> part of the objection to that term -- ugh! heartburn! no one burns on my watch! try alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmm...amazing. i have heartburn. alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. at ally bank no branches equalsit's a fact.. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. ♪ (vo) some call it giving back. we call it share the love. during our share the love event, get a new subaru, and we'll donate $250 to those in need. bringing our total donations to over sixty-five million dollars. and bringing love where it's needed most. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. >>> he's taken a page from the playbook of hitler. donald trump is literally trying to radicalize our fellow americans against our american muslim and international muslim brothers and sister

spikes around the world. i always loved this math from nasa. you can see economic development just looking at the lights at night. obviously, one big economic region is the northeast of north america. airports service that region along with three other, chicago and new york. statistic ia simple pulled up. between the three airports, therefore flights a day going to --jing, six flights a day four flights a day shanghai, four flights to beijing -- six flights to beijing. the flights help this whole and enhanceop economic activity between north america and asia. none of us have enough flights to provide what all the business which is direct and frequency. they want choices and direct flights throughout the day. one-stop is preferable and overnight sometimes because you have other activities during the day, but the combination of the frequency between their airports in this region i think will be providing that kind of connectivity to the rest of the world. what will help and ensure this region and the two countr

he these new spikes that they added, these pencil protrusion spikes, they seemed to us like they wouldt way harder to climb the white house fence. it certainly makes it tougher to get a hand hold without hitting something spiking. and there's been a noticeable quieting of people hoisting themselves over the fence and making a beeline for the president's house. and it was apparently working. until thanksgiving. approximately 2:45 p.m. the first family is enjoying turkey dinner, dude jumped over the new and improved spiky fence. his lawyer says he was a politically conscious young man who was trying to, quote, deliver a message. he was arrested. he was ordered to get a mental health evaluation. in terms of his penetration into the white house, though, he never made it close into the building of the white house. he was caught by secret service agents within moments of hitting the grass on the other side of the fence. but the point here is that he appeared to have no problem of getting over the fence itself even with the brand-new spikes. here he is straddling the fence. you can see he has
