spike lee and i disagree on stuff. say he is a bad person. >> that's popular right now, isn't it? >> laura: how is that interesting? >> we as a country elected someone whom if you do not agree with him, you are a bad person. >> laura: who said that? >> he says it all the time! >> laura: he said i am the president of all of the people. leo, you were with him. monique says donald trump thinks you are a bad person if you don't agree with him. you were just with him. there were 300 plus african-american leaders across the country. a lot of people didn't see that. but a lot of people saw the oscars. and everyone in that room probably 90% liberal democrats or too afraid to say anything different. they love it. of course they love. it what did you see in this president that is a different take from what monique said? >> we know that spike lee was alluded to the president when he said love versus hate. he said in 2020 vote for love versus hate. the democrats represent 90% of black communities. we are in poverty and being shot

i like the old spike lee stuff, it's kind of funny. oscars are just another example of i think hollywood yoa canning off half of america. and immediately they're cast on to the ash heap of you're bad people because you like trump or you're more conservative or you're not a liberal. for the life of me i don't get. that it's not entertaining. it's utterly predictable and it's conformist. it's the opposite of non-conformist in hollywood. it would be somebody up there saying i call bs on all of you >>> right i don't recall him mentioning president trump >> laura: come on, you're smart monique >>> i don't recall. >> laura: you don't think he was talking about it? >>> i do recall everybody who was in the place screaming and clapping and hooping >>> i was screaming up and down and clapping and hooping at home. >> laura: that's a representative audience. really? representative of whom? >>> i represent people like me, whatever that means. >> laura: yeah >>> he's had a 30 year career. he won an oscar after those 30 years. he deserved it well bef

i was like, wow, spike's tucking it in.t you a little more clearly than that, even. this is a president who knows he's on the wrong side of history. so you've hit the dog. in other words, he's barking because he knows he exemplifies all that spike and his courageous film are really standing against. david duke actually makes a cameo in spike's film if the president needs to make himself familiar with who david duke is. >> but david duke also, there is also him talking about david duke in an interview way prior. >> of course. i'm being facetious. he absolutely knows who david duke is. he did before that moment. >> during the campaign, kareem, trump used to ask black voters, remember, what do you have to lose? does he understand that his policies and the economy hasn't solved racism? >> well, i think he -- i think what he's reacting to is the fact that his own history with regard to rental units in queens where they refused to rent to black applicants, i think that's something that he knows is a shadow on anything that he has

i guess he thought i was going to go to spike and appeal to spike to tone it down a little bit. think of. >> unbelievable. >>hae called. >> reporter: ron's wife patsy recorded the call on her phone. >> ready? >> yep. >> i don't have the same recollection as you do on some of the terms because i've always prided myself and all my klanspeople talk about how i don't use the "n" word. i'm not saying i've never used it in context, obviously. >> reporter: spike was called the "n" word many times when his family became the first blacks to move into cobble hill. then an italian american neighborhood in brooklyn. >> did you have any other acts of racism against you? >> yeah, i wanted to join the boy scouts and they said i couldn't do it because i wasn't catholic. well, we all knew what it was. my father told me. >> well, of course. >> what it was. after that, i said "f" the boy scouts. i don't want to be in them. >> reporter: his father, a jazz musician, who wrote the scores for most of spike's early films, taught him another lesson. >> you have a policy against drugs. have you ever even

, a retread spike lee said of driving miss daisy.d of driving miss daisym old—fashioned, a retread spike lee said of driving miss daisy. it feels to me like a film from the 1990s but that said, it's a very well honed example of its crafts over that, it's been recognised and if it makes people go and buy doctor don shirley is albums i can thoroughly recommend them. he's very good on the piano. roma, tipped by many people to be best film and did well, it did when and alfonso cuaron took an award but it did not take the top prize. and alfonso cuaron took an award but it did not take the top prizem was expected by me to win the top prize. i think it's a much more masterful picture and greenberg or bohemian rhapsody but people find it a bit slow. i do not, i think life there, revolution, divorce, growing up, everything you want from life in mexico. i think it would have been one of the great films of this centuries oscar winners but it is not, greenberg takes its place, but at one film and one for best director and for cinematography, bea

he got a classic here tonight. >> spike rocked o.g.ing" 20 years after that failed to win. >> spike lee! >> last night, spike won his very first oscar for writing "blackkklansman." >> you gave a hug like i have never seen before. >> i jumped into sam's arms, i hopped. >> the jordans? >> got to be the shoes. >> but after spike lost to "roma" by alfonso cuaron, and best picture to "green book," people said spike was furious, and he turned his back to the stage. >> can you give us your thoughts on that best picture win? >> let me take another sip. next question. no, i thought i was courtside at the garden and the ref made a bad call. whoa! >> despite this, "green book" was a big winner taking home three oscars including best supporting actor for mahershala ali, who portrayed pianist donald shirl shirley. >> i was honored to be apart of that story. >> and it was a record-breaking night for women at the oscars with 15 total wins. >> olivia colman. >> including best actress winner olivia colman. she beat glenn cidol for so lon not how i want

we had spike lee in flowers, rami malek winning ina had spike lee in flowers, rami malek winning in adon't know what that was. this is beginning to feel a bit boring. i think you need to change it up boring. i think you need to change itupa boring. i think you need to change it up a bit, another actor who chose to beat slightly different was mahershala ali who took the award for best supporting actor in we can hear from for best supporting actor in we can hearfrom him. for best supporting actor in we can hear from him. thank you for this, fellow nominees, thank you for your work. the work itself has always been that reward for me and so it's a little surreal to get this kind of thing for something you feel so passionate about and grateful for, so passionate about and grateful for, so octavia spencer, thank you, chris bowers, my double, thank you, my wife and family. peace. mahershala ali taking best supporting actor for his role alongside viggo mortensen in green book. the overall atmosphere compared with last year, what was the difference? people were more comfortable this year, you

lashing out at film director spike lee., be nice if spike lee could read his notes or better yet not have to use notes at all when doing his racist hit on your president who has done for more african-american and criminal justice and lowest unemployment numbers in history and tax cuts et cetera than any other president. he was reacting to the spike lee acceptance speech during last night's oscars that made no direct mention of the president. what did he say that got under trump's skin? that is coming up next. all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist. you can barely feel. thisyeah.ice. yeah, this is nice. mmmm how did you make the dip so rich and creamy? oh, it's a philadelphia- -family recipe. can i see it? no. new philadelphia dips. so good, you'll take all the credit. >>> welcome back to "harball." president trump today accused film director spike lee of a racist hit. so what prompted that charge? well last night lee won

when you get your spikes back on for the first time, itjust you get your spikes back on for the firstr the first time, itjust shows you that you are in the right trajectory. what is the goal for you? my goal is to come back and be the same if not better than before. some people would say that is impossible. this year, 2019, my target will be the world championships. if i don't do it and get close to it, there is no doubt in my mind i would be at the 0lympics doubt in my mind i would be at the olympics in 2020,100%. doubt in my mind i would be at the olympics in 2020, 100%. given his progress to date, you wouldn't bet against him. remarkable story. you can keep across all of the fa cup action and watch live snooker from the welsh 0pen action and watch live snooker from the welsh open on the bbc‘s website. that is all from me for now. back to you. thank you, richard. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 6:25pm. bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel with shaun ley. it's 1:15. more now on that court appearanc

i watched spike lee's speech.gal pad and paper. and he spoke about his history. he spoke about african-american history. he didn't call out the president. and i'm trying to find where the president felt it was racist. and anything the president tweets, does, says or is involved in, that's what we cover. and unfortunately today i'm dealing with issues of spike lee and the president. >> seth: you deal with sarah sanders a lot -- >> yes. >> seth: although probably less than you would deal with most press secretaries. because they don't have daily briefings. but a few years ago, she tweeted that she cooked a chocolate pecan pie for thanksgiving. and you wrote, show it to us on a table. you were basically saying that it was maybe taken out of a cookbook or a photo of not a pie she actually cooked. but then there was this. and i will say, you know, i see the world in a very different way than sarah sanders. but i will say, when i saw this photo, i liked it. because i thought, "well, this is humanity." at the end of the

and spike lee. featuring jon batiste and stay human. and now, live from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert!

( cheers and applause ) hey, paul! what's up? hey everybody, up there, down here, please, sit down! sit down! thank you very much! welcome, welcome o to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. ( cheers and applause ) everybody's excited because tonight, trump gave his state of the union, and we are live, if what you call what we just watched "live." it was pretty raucous on the republican side, i'll tell you that much. pretty quiet on the democracy side because it wasinancy's house. she showed great restraint. she did not stick on out her tongue once. this wasn't a particularly good speech, but what it lacked in quality, it made up in length. ( laughter ) it was-- it was like-- (

spike lee says that, nobody cares. spike lee also criticized whites were moving into harlem.e compared them to christopher columbus offering native americans. really? if whites move into harlem, that is racist? spike lee also said about the senator from mississippi, when he praised strom thurmond on the 100th birthday, he said trent lot on "good morning america" is a "straight up member of the klan, i bet he has a hood somewhere in his closet." even diane sawyer thought that was outrageous. he never apologized. he says all sorts of things, have gotten away with it. nobody says a word. >> sean: listen to larry's list, just on spike lee, sean. it's amazing. >> it is. is anybody shocked? i was somewhat pleased at the level that it wasn't as much as i could have been last night. a few comments from the folks who are generally pretty wild and their comments when they come up. i actually think there is a lot of great movies this year. a lot of really good actors in them. i wish they would stick to talking about their art. and their profession, and stop trying to be political pundit

lee. >> the most animated reaction of the night coming from director spike lee who won his first oscard screenplay for critically acclaimed film "blackkklansman," taking a not so veiled shot at president trump and his 2016 election speech. >> 2020 election is around the corner, make the moral choice between love versus hate. >> president trump tweeted be nice if spike lee could use his notes or better yet not use his tes at all when doing his racist hit on your president who has done more for african-americans, general justice reform, et cetera, than almost any other president. >> trevor: president trump called spike lee racist. ( laughter ) it was, like, "blackkklansman," that's offensive, folks. should have been called "black very fine people on both sides." both sides! ( laughter ) also, trump is the last person to tell anyone about their reading. really? mr. (mispronounced words) that guy? congratulations to all the winners from last night. international news, vice president mike pence was in colombia, or as donald trump calls it, south mexico. he was there to monitor the situation

spike lee went after the president before the president went after him. i like spike lee. i think he did a great job with black kk clansman. i'm glad he finally won an academy award. i loved when he leaped into samuel jackson's arms. it was so charming. and then even when he was talking about slavery. this is black history month. and, you know, how nice it is that he could talk about his grandma, putting him through college and so forth. >> martha: it's a great story. >> but then to turn it and give president trump a dig was so unnecessary. so gratuitous. it was like rudolph said something about mexico ♪ going to pay for the wall or so forth. just give it a rest. i would like. we have come a long way from the days during the obama administration of oscars so white. there were no people of color nominated in any of the major categories or behind the big pictures. now, you have an oscar ceremony with high ratings that reflects the audience it soak seeks to serve. why give trump the dig. it's almost become mandatory for these actors in their moment in the sun to do something

taking it out on spike lee because of course, spike lee is someone that will be very outspoken in 2020ing to be someone who takes a very strong stand. he's even in his own speech you'll have to go there because his movies and the person that he is at his heart is someone who is very much in opposition of president trump. >> in fact, jose andres was one of the presenters and it wasn't just the actors and actresses in their acceptance speeches. jose andres was one of the presenters speaking about immigration. >> right. that's what i thought was so terrific about this year's oscars is that you had a wide variety of people. it wasn't just hollywood navel gazing and it was people from around the country and around the world who were there to be a part of hollywood's big night and there were people who have, we know them through other lenses. jose andres, phenomenal restauranteur, beloved and we also know him through a political lens because of his battle with president trump and also what he did during the government shutdown, providing food to government workers. not that he was asked to,

spike lee plays "hardball" later on. >> come on. america would never elect somebody like david duke, president of the united states. >> coming from a black man, that's pretty naive. >> could the legendary filmmaker make history at the oscars with "blackkklansman? we have a lot to get to. liberty mutual has just announced that they can customize your car insurance so that you only pay for what you need. this is phoebe buckley, on location. uh... thanks, phoebe. ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ guys do whatever it takes to deal with shave irritation. so, we re-imagined the razor with the new gillette skinguard. it has a unique guard between the blades. that's designed to reduce irritation during the shave. because we believe all men deserve a razor just for them. the best a man can get. gillette. >>> welcome back to "hardball." we're following developments in the russia probe today. the first involves the case of roger stone, trump's former political adviser who was indicted last month. a federal j

let's start, i guess, with spike lee. how about that?nsman." in one of the signature moments of the night, here it comes -- >> oh. >> bam. >> jumping into the arms of his friend, samuel l. jackson. such a cool moment. >> yeah. >> samuel is obviously excited for him as well. i love how he gave him the mixed score beforehand. >> that was amazing. >> he's a big knicks fan. >> people were upset he didn't win for directing. but, he still got -- >> an oscar is an oscar. >> yeah. >> good for him, in a purple suit, too. >> can we talk lady gaga and bradley cooper. >> please. >> will they or won't they perform the song "shallow" that won. some said they made out. will they, won't they? they have significant others. at least will does, excuse me, at least bradley does. i said at least will does. >> check out this standing ovation as they stepped off the stage. gaga asked coo it? so sweet. >> that's really nice. >> you did, bradley, you did. melissa mccarthy was nominated for drama, but all laughs. >> she came out in a gown inspired by "the favorit

this was big news if you are a knicks fan like spike lee. at madison square garden since december 1. the win over the spurs snapping an 18 game home losing streak for the team. and as samuel l. jackson delivering the news to spike before announcing that he won his first oscar for bested a dac adaptive screen play for black chance m blackkklansman. >> spike, so glad you're sitting down. the knicks won tonight. i repeat, the knicks won tonight defeating san antonio. >> i love how spike was yelling back to jackson, we're trying to tank. good news for spike, knicks still have the second worst record in the nba. serena williams also on hand for the oscars last night and she ent introduced the clip for "a star is born." and her new nike ad the made its debut. >> if we show emotion, we're called dramatic. if we want to play against men, we're nuts. a woman competing in a job, landing a 1080 or winning 23 gland slams, having a baby and then coming back for more, crazy, crazy, crazy and crazy. so if they want to call you crazy, fine. show them what c

everything from border security to spike lee's speech at the oscars. but the topic of the moment, of course, is the president's meeting this morning with members of the national governors association followed by his impending departure for the summit in vietnam. the second summit with north korea's leader kim jong-un. the president appears to be advancing and retreating in his rhetoric about the summit suggesting last night at the governors ball that he'd be happy with a stop to missile and nuclear testing in the korean peninsula but then again this morning, tweeting and going back to the original stated goal of denuclearization on the peninsula, though that certainly is not defined very well. here's the tweet. meeting for breakfast with our nation's governors and off to vietnam for a very important summit with kim jong-un with complete denuclearization. north korea will rapidly become an economic powerhouse. without it, just more of the same. chairman kim will make a wise decision. all of this is just a reminder that the president tweeted back in june

what happened to the cool spike lee? >> well, i would like to state, if i may, that was a culmination of six -- the exuberance. it was building up, one, two, three, four, five, and what you see, that was number six. and went crazy. >> so you're absolutely thrilled? >> yes, i am. >> i think that's great. >> but also i'm thrilled for my longtime editor barry brown who never got nominated, my longtime music composer, terrence blan charred. adam driver, never nominated before. >> your star in the film. it's taken a long time, spike whether or not lee. you've been doing these movies from the late '80s and you've never been nominated for best director. >> right. >> it's taken a while. do you feel great or it's about time? >> i feel great. i also feel it's about time. i want to state it is april rains campaign, hashtag oscar so white combined with sheryl isaacs, two african-american women, sheryl boon isaacs. behind hashtag oscars so white, she went to the board and said this is a bad look. we have to diversify the voting membe

spike lee also explaining his reaction to "green book's" big win. watch as he appears to face backwards. here's what he had to say about that. >> i'm snik bake bit. every time somebody is driving somebody, i lose. but they changed the seating arrangement. >> we saw a bit ever reactiof r the green book oig win. can you give us your thoughts on that best picture win? >> let me take another sip. next question. no, i thought i was court side at the garden. the ref made a bad call. >> all right. he was referring to driving miss daisy which won four awards in 1990, the same year he was nominated for best original screen play. >>> now to washington. congress returns today to a packed calendar and things could get interesting this week because the president's former lawyer and fixer michael cohen testifies before three committees. on wednesday his testimony will be public. also on the docket, the first attempt by house democrats to block president trump's border wall national emergency look with threats to subpoena special counsel robert mueller's report on

blogger started this campaign there so white there was protest spike lee boycotted the oscars after thatinitially in support of this campaign and what the austereo what the academy did did in response was they made a deliberate effort to try and make their body of the academy body more diverse so they recruited a lot more people from minority groups women expanded the number of wanted me members so yeah it was used to six thousand i was nine thousand and almost all the new newcomers have been from those less represented groups and i think that was represented this year in at least the nominees you know black panther getting a bunch of oscar nominations you had spike lee's black klansman give a number of nominations including best picture only won for best adapted screenplay . even romo which is a foreign language film with a indigenous woman as the as the main character that's a film that you probably would have never seen in the sort of old pre oscars so white era but you have to say and spike lee himself made this point green book winning which is i say a bit of an a throwback film. he

and spike lee did a full-on tribute. so you could see those shoes. >> i haven't heard the phrase high waters in a long time. we called them ankle whippers. yeah, yeah, the angles. how about lady gaga? >> oh, my gosh. [ cheers and applause ] i already -- somebody reamed me on twitter for talking about her too much. she's been a fashion force this entire season. i have to say, i think there are two classes of dressing for the oscars. the type that go over the top. it's the climax of the season. and then you have the classic dresser. you thought she would show up and be really crazy. in the end, she toned it down. it's a very chic and fashionable dress by alexander mcqueen. still very subdued for gaga. >> she toned it down. but that tiffany necklace. whoo! couldn't take my eyes off that. oh, my. >> 128 karats. >> 128 karats. >> no big deal. and there were 62 other diamonds on that necklace as well. >> worn by audrey hepburn. >> you are our powerhouses. >> you are. you're our gagas. 5,000 karats right here. thank you three f

spike lee made sure everyone got the message. he's not a big fan. today, the president responded as only he can. let's talk about it now with senior political analyst brit hume. good evening, brit. >> hi, chris. >> chris: last night, spike lee, after a long career, finally won a oscar and ended his acceptance speech with this. take a look. >> the 2020 presidential election around the corner. let's all mobilize. let's all be on the right side of history. make the moral choice between love versus hate. let's do the right thing! >> chris: president trump took exception, tweeting this morning, it would be nice if spike lee could read his notes or better yet not have to use notes at all when doing his race is hit on your president, who has done more for african-americans, criminal justice reform, lowest on employment numbers in history, tax cuts, et cetera, than almost any other president. brit, what do you make of that exchange? >> well... i don't think it was racist. i don't even think it was particularly anti-trump. he didn't mention the president. yo

january, the bigger the spike in this etf's. think this is a sign of lack of confidence, this is people over funding and making sure that corporate's have enough cash to take them over the chinese new year, because the economy does not look strong. instead of extrapolating this for the rest of the year, this is rejecting possibly reduced confidence and a weaker economy. i want to see more data before i move forward, but i would not want to jump to the conclusion that market participants think that this is really the first in a step of real improvement and increase in lending for the real economy. jon: what do you think, scott? scott: our position has been that there are two separate things going on. one, there is a high degree of confidence you will see with affirmation of stability and the chinese economy through stimulus. markets are pricing that in, there will be tools used effectively. the other is when we are more concerned with, sometimes we see sentiment shift, and em that is where we have seen interest pick up. you are l

showed the world that hollywood finally got that memo about diversity last night spike lee he think the originator of the oscars so white campaign right take it take a listen to what he said about a boring hash tag so why and the former president of the county or most of the signs sure when isaacs i wouldn't be here tonight they open up the cademy to make the camera look more like america's more diverse now he was visibly moved last night it's been what four years since that campaign yes began you know you're not we've been talking about that long but for years and how much have changed in hollywood. dramatically now listen last night alfonzo qur'an one that makes him the fifth mexican born director in the last six years to win best director and last night six black entertainers one is well into categories that you've never seen black equal one which is set design and costume for black panther so there are more black people that won last night than any other time in oscar history so diversity was really out there front and center and happy to see you know course spike lee give his award

spike lee was seen to storm out let's let's talk about let's hear him talk about diversity now.it's a pouring hash tag us so why and the former president of the county or most of the sciences sure when i six i wouldn't be here tonight they open up the cademy to make the camera look more like america's more diverse. so things have moved. a bit so where is the where are the oscars now in terms of diversity yeah i think i mean spike lee complained a bit about green book winning you said the ref got the wrong did that made the wrong call which i thought was a nice. quote but definitely things have moved on especially even just a few years ago with oscar so white two thousand and fifteen when the have you tried become more diverse and tried to push diversity and in terms of nominations this year i mean you had spike lee's black klansman but you also had a film like black panther i'm not entirely black cast in that it picked up seven nominations won three oscars or if beale street to talk another. entirely by a very jenkins which also won an oscar in terms of nominations and represent

that shocked a lot of people as a matter of fact and correct me if i'm wrong i've heard that spike lee actually got up and walked out of the over turia for a moment is that true. yes that is true he attempted to walk out he didn't get all the way out but he threw his hand up when the winner was announced and he attempted to walk out you know spike lee is never one to bite his tongue he has been saying leading up to oscar day that he was not a fan of the green book and a lot of journalists felt the same way that's why they're bashing it today some people who even said the green book was a good film it still was not the best film a lot of people have a problem with it because i think that it is another story about revisionist history something that tends to gloss over a really painful racist past in american history for black people by making into kind of a comedy buddy duel and not really staying straight to the history of the story and what happened yeah i heard several people did a saying that it was like driving miss daisy but in reverse with the average z. break would you agree with

in this environment, without inflation spiking higher, without the threat of anything meaningful from central banks, i don't think that is going to last. jonathan: i am so pathetic with the view of all three of you. it has quickly become the consensus view that everyone wants to fade this strength. and makes me wonder whether the pain trade is the risk rally continues. jpmorgan writes that minimal inflation, excessive capital markets, and inflation in equity markets should be supported with a continued benign credit cycle in 2019 and beyond. jpmorgan lifting the outlook for junk bonds and beyond. >> if you look at what the fed has done, if they want to engineer anything it is a soft landing for credit markets. that feed through to equity cycles and market cycles. last year, we were looking at a fed forecasting for interest hikes. now it is essentially zero. you have removed potential tightening out of the forward outlook. that gives you support for credit markets. >> i think this cycle could go on quite a bit longer. it will continue. economic recoveries usually get killed. they don't
