wesley, we'll talk about your ordeal in just a minute. i wanted to get your very first reaction. i'm sure you have been -- saw the president, notify the president alluded to your arrest, presumably. your response. >> reporter: you know, it's not just about me. there was also ryan, as well. there have also been a lot of other journalists on the ground when he says bullying. we saw an al jazeera crew that had tear gas at them. msnbc reporter covered in tear gas. ever since i got here on monday night, i've seen reporters being treated the same -- the same way that a looter would have been treated. the same way that a troublemaker, someone out here to cause problems, would be treated. you know, threatened on monday night by police officers. and so it's certainly -- you know, it's nice to hear that from the president of the united states, obviously, house speaker john boehner also put out a statement that alluded to, you know, journalists not being treated the correct way. and so obviously, that's great to hear. but to be honest, right now i'm just trying to focus on getting back to r

ryan j reilly and wesley lowry from "the washington post."ters are both detained and roughed up, but then released. moments ago, police reportedly began firing teargas into another protesting crowd in ferguson. this comes from christina:. reporter john swain said this picture. police are telling people they must leave immediately. what is going on right now is no longer a peaceful protest. we are on the four canal in ferguson. from the crowds and the clouds of teargas, this does not seem to be ratcheting down. that does it for us tonight. it is much more on the situation in ferguson tonight from the let's work with lawrence o'donnell. so police now are arresting reporters in ferguson, missouri. one of those reporters who was arrested will join me, as will one of the reporters who has been hit with tear gas. >> two reporters in ferguson, missouri were arrested. >> evidently, i wa

i heard wesley and the other reporters asking, who are you, what is your identification. they aren't wearing badges. they don't have numbers or names. they didn't identify themselves, even when they got to the police station and put them in a cell. so who are these police officers? are they ferguson with these apcs or is this county police? >> they seem to be kind of a mix. on the side of the apparatus, all the big trucks, st. louis county police. but i believe i did see flanking those trucks some ferguson city police. but the st. louis county police have taken over the investigation. so they are splitting their role. one hand, the county police are in charge of investigating the killing that led everyone here. but they are also keeping -- they are charged with keeping the streets boarded off from these protests expanding day by day. it seems most of them are st. louis county police. >> and yaniche, before we let you go, we have some of the still photos you were tweeting out last night. what are people there saying about their relationship with the police? has it always b

wesley, just walk me through this a little bit. it seemed the officer was being very clear to move out. the circumstances seemed like an emergency. what was the surrounding scenario. >> the scenario was there were two reporters sitting at mcdonald's. there was no protest outside. there was no clear danger whatsoever. two reporters who purchase meals from mcdonald's who had been told initially we did not have to leave. then that changed. there was an immediate evacuation. the two of us had already been recording because when s.w.a.t. teams show up to evacuate a mcdonald's, any responsible reporter would pull out their phone. that's what we did. some of the officers took offense to that. i was being gestured out with a large assault weapon. i tried to pack up my bag. 30 seconds long. he says we're down to 45 seconds. my arrest came about 5 seconds after the video cuts out. that certainly wasn't 45 seconds. so i think that what we see in this case is officers who were upset that we had the audacity to have video phones that did not re

wesley was the first person arrested.ut i think it's also important like we weren't -- we were still packing. i had a lot of things to pack in the car. simply trying to do two things at once and have a conversation with the officer being very aggressive considering the fact that this mcdonald's had been tranquil until the -- they moved in. it was like any mcdonald's anywhere in the u.s. >> let me ask you this. some might say when the police tell you to leave, you leave like right now. it appeared that you didn't. so just address that for me. >> well, i think the timing is very important here. this is -- this is in the span of two minutes. this is extremely limited amount of time in a -- i had been set up there. the only thing i wanted to do was get my phone running as i was packing up. but the officer, fully -- this is a s.w.a.t. officer with every military technology -- he came in with an assault rifle and confronting you. it's an extraordinary situation that i needed to capture on video as a journalsist. i wasn't interf

and former general wesley clark, retired general wesley clark. gentlemen, thank you so much for being with us tonight. ambassador kurtz, i want to start with you. israel has had some tough things to say to u.s. official, most notably programs when prime minister netanyahu reportedly told the u.s. ambassador to israel that he should, quote, never, ever second guess him again when it came to dealing with hamas. have you heard that kind of talk when you were ambassador here or when you were ambassador in egypt? >> well, we've experienced tough talk in the past. i dealt with ariel sharon as prime minister. he was quite tough on occasion. so it's not unusual when the united states and israel get into these spats. what is unusual is the fact that we've had these recurring fights for the entire period of the obama and netanyahu administrations. and the tenor of the discussion has really gotten nasty. so it's the length of time that these two sides are fighting with each other that makes this unusual. >> do you think that it undermines the influence that

it seems from the twitter feeds of wesley lowery, it may be those two who have been arrested.hat is as yet unconfirmed. there is a photo of one man being put into a van being handcuffed. that photo being released by john sveum a reporter who is on the ground with the guardian u.s. we will bring you updates on that. if it is the case, it would represent a massive escalation in ferguson's approach toward handling the press. we will continue to monitor the situation. stay with us. ♪ these guys are super excited. because when you get crayons for less... ♪ mechanical pencils for less... ♪ and notebooks for less, all at guaranteed low prices, you can't help but show it. in a big way! staples. make more happen for less. so factors like diet can negatively impact good bacteria? even if you're healthy and active. phillips digestive health support is a duo-probiotic that helps supplement good bacteria found in two parts of your digestive tract. i'm doubly impressed! phillips' digestive health. a daily probiotic. t's the problem? bart said he'd give us our credit scores for free... then

he was there along with wesley lowery with the washington post. officers decided we weren't leaving mcdonald's quickly enough and we shouldn't have been taping them. he tweeted from the scene that officers slammed him into a soda machine, because he was confused about which door they wanted him to walk out of. wesley was detained and released, he said there were no charges filed against him, and he says there will be no police report. the chief thought he was doing you a favor. the police officer told him about being released. this is day four of the conflict in ferguson missouri since michael brown was killed by a police officer there. and thus far, it does not feel like the conflict is getting better. from the scenes in the street up to and including the armored vehicle with a cop on top with his gun trained at peaceful protesters in broad daylight today, up to and including that today, it feels like this is getting worse. joining us now is wesley lowery, he was detained tonight by the police, just released while he was covering the situation in

louis, and the washington post's wesley lowry.or being here tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you, reverend. >> joseph, how long has this pressure been building between the police and the people of fergie son? >> well, reverend sharpton, it's been building for years. it's been building this not just ferguson but several other municipalities in the city of st. louis. this just busted the cap off. we hope coming out of here we can have some positive dialogue, some sensitively training and some better communication between police and the community that they serve. >> now let me ask you, wesley. you have been moving around, covering this story. we are told that only 16%. now, again, the town is nearly 70% black. look at the demographic breakdown of city officials in ferguson. the mayor is white. the police chief is white. only 16% of the city council is black. 6% of the police force is black. and the school board, 0% -- not a single african-american is on the school board. do you feel as you move around that this kind of tension is buil

military operation against islamic state fighters, i spoke to the former commander,e allied general wesley clark. i put to him that although president obama said america is not the iraqi military, is not even the iraqi air force, this victory over the dam would not be possible without u.s. forces. >> i think that is true. i think the united states has made it clear that it is going to be involved economically, the medically, to military advice and assistance, and if absolutely necessary through the -- as the president says, we are not going to put u.s. combat troops on the ground. >> in the last 10 days, 68 airstrikes against isis fighters. 35 in the last three days. i am going to ask you the same question the president was asked. how much longer do you think this goes on for? >> i think it is clearly impossible to answer the question. there is going to be years of trouble in this region. i think if we try to set an end date on something like this -- i think you have to look at it as episodically, the united states, britain, france, germany, other western nations will be involved in this r

we just had general wesley clark o. he just returned from ukraine, raising this prospect of an invasion of eastern ukraine based on russian military movements along that border. i wonder -- you know the former soviet union. you know russia. what do you think the chances of that invasion are today? >> it can't be ruled out. russia has already invaded ukraine. it did so when it moved into crimea in late february, early march. as general clark indicated there were troops in eastern ukraine, a russian-backed set of forces, russian citizens themselves. invasion can't be ruled out. but putin has to understand there will be serious consequences for that. more sanctions and more military assistance. i agree with general clark that the west should be providing ukraine with more military means to defend itself in addition to the economic sanctions put in place. >> it's alarm to go think. our guests keep reminding us that russia in effect has already invaded ukraine, right? >> yeah, right. >> we speak about crimea. and you have ru

lawy wesley lowrie were arrested while sitting at a mcdonald's not too far from the demonstrations. they were let go a short time later and not charged with any crime. they each smoke with chris hays last night and described their interaction with police officers. >> i was told to stop resisting despite the fact that i had gone limp, and my arms were limp. on the way out of the mcdonald's my head was purposefully slammed into the glass door, and the officer sashgsticily remarked that he was sorry. >> he threw me up against the soda machine, and i put my hands behind my back, and i said i'm not resisting. they said you are resisting. stop resisting. and i said i'm not resisting. we were standing outside and they refused to give us any information. tell us what we're being held on. >> nbc news reached out to the ferguson police department but they have not gotten back to us. >>> u.s. troops have returned from iraq with encouraging news. the number of refugees trapped by isis is smaller than feared. chuck hagel says it is now less likely that a major rescue operation will take place. n

. >>> joining us now by phone from ferguson is wesley bell, professor of criminal justice at st. louis community college and a municipal court judge. he met with eric holder earlier today. professor bell, tell us how that meeting went. >> it was a very positive meeting. mr. holder was very inspiring, but also realistic. so it was a very positive meeting. >> i want to listen to what captain ron johnson said about eric holder's visit today. let's listen to that. i guess -- >> i think it had a great impact. it shows the people of ferguson, the people of st. louis, to our nation, that their voices are heard, that the highest office in this land is listening to their voices. and is taking a look into the incident that happened here. >> wesley bell, do the people there understand the unprecedented nature of this federal response, that there's never been an incident like this, a killing by police that has received this much presidential comment, this much presidential attention, and this much attention from the attorney general? >> it is a unique situation. as an educator, our classes s

let's bring in retired general wesley clark, the former nato supreme allied commander.r being with us. a spokesman for the free syrian army told josh rogin "the daily beast" of the air strikes against isis.inside syria will not be helpful. air strikes are like just tingling isis." do you think that's correct, she is air strikes are not doing much? >> i think the air strikes have to be coordinated with efforts on the ground. if the free syrian army is able to hold isis and pin it in position so that the air strikes could impact on the isis forces, then certainly they could be of great value. if the isis forces are moving, flowing like water through these territories and entermingled with civilians, then no, you're not going to be able to strike. so we do have special forces personnel. we are able to do some targeting through aerial reconnaissance. but as always, air strikes need people on the ground to call them in and monitor it. >> do you think it was proper for president obama to pledge no boots on the ground when it comes to the threat from isis? >> i think that the

and wesley was having these issues at that time and so we talked about changing it kind of working it around to fit me more and then they ended up getting terry crews who i thought was perfect. and kind of a road toll road without them. i didn't really know how although i just you know noticed that the name changed and then this character that we had discussed kind of what hail caesar would become became tollroad and i was i was excited tells you is the toll road college educated guy that you know these are these this is this family these guys are family is dysfunctional and quirky is they are these are the guys he lives in breeze for and will die for. and he's got that name because if you're going to get past him you're going to pay a price. how does expendables three different from the other to tell me what's this who we after. august seem there's kind of this dichotomy of the young versus the old you know the tech savvy kind of new younger generation that will program your your v.c.r. or whatever it is you need them to do and play with the smartphone versus kind of the old school w

the following year in the spring of 1999, my son wesley brought home a book from school. he brought home a book, "sadako and the thousand paper crane." any of you familiar with that story? she was a real little girl who gived in hiroshima. she was 2-years-old when the bomb exploded. she and her family surfingvived -- survived almost unscathed. echo -- socko -- sadako developed leukemia nine years some versions of the legends say some versions of the legends say you are granted a long life. in either case, she wanted both. she wanted to live. she folded more than a thousand paper cranes. she folded about 1,400. unfortunately that did not help. she died in 1955, she's 12-years-old. within three years, her friends and family had raised the money to build a go -- sadako.t up to her and all the children killed, wounded and sickened by the atomic bomb. it stands in the peace park her holding up a giant paper crane. each year people from around the world leave paper cranes at that memorial. they leave them all over hiroshima or nagasaki, at her memorial alone, i think they live

wesley, first to you. you were on the streets that awful night and all week with really. what has been the response now to the local police and the curfew as the state police have taken over? >> i think we have seen a lot of community leaders and members, protesters, organizers, who really try to abide by the curfew. as i was talking to people getting on the plane up here, talking to reporters still on the ground, community wanted to respect this curfew, by and large, there were certainly a group of people who stayed past daughter few and sounds like people looking for trouble. we have a real anger on the ground here and we have not just an anger among protesters and residents but also people who are seeing this as an opportunity to come into ferguson from outside of ferguson, either opportunistically to cause trouble, or a way of saying this is a way of having voice this protest is happening here, clashes are happening here, maybe i don't live near ferguson. if i live in a separate suburb, i can come here and express my voice there were chants of, we have the right to pe

we'll talk to a former nato commander general wesley clark about how difficult that will be next.w a ten-second test could help your business avoid hours of delay caused by slow internet from the phone company? that's enough time to record a memo. idea for sales giveaway. return a call. sign a contract. pick a tie. take a break with mr. duck. practice up for the business trip. fly to florida. win an award. close a deal. hire an intern. and still have time to spare. go to comcastbusiness.com/ checkyourspeed if we can't offer faster speeds - or save you money - we'll give you $150. comcast business. built for business. >>> right before the break i talked to a man by the name, a unicef representative out of iraq. he was hammering home the desperate need for the humanitarian corridor to start the process of rescuing people and getting people out. that is just one issue of the broader i.s.i.s. u.s. says no u.s. boots on the ground. >> you have to have the curds to establish the corridor. the united states has the capacity to use its air powers as a combat multiplier in this case. you a

there's a man named wesley miller who is an independent oilman down in cheyenne. leslie miller started hearing all these rumors from his friends upper casper that sinclair oil company trucks were seen going in to the teapot dome naval petroleum reserve. it appeared they were going in there to actually do drilling and oil exploration. he is very curious about this curious-- he was very about this because he felt there were a lot of us in the business who would love to drill deep -- teapot dome. it happened he was visiting with his old friend up in sheridan, senator john d kendrick. kendrick was a democrat who represented wyoming in the senate. mentioned to kendrick, can you look into this and see what is going on? something is happening at teapot dome. they would question albert fall as to how this occurred, fall was very foggy about how this particular activity had essence and in president harding was up to this -- obtuse about how this occurred. when the senate started investigating the activities of albert fall and the interior department with respect to teapot

here in new york city, general wesley clark. >> i think isis is going to be a threat to the united states. it's a threat to governments in the region i think the united states has owe work with our allies and bring a concerts of nations to put their power to work against isis. >> so you want a coalition of the will something >> we need to be helping the curds. the turks are going to fight. leb niece army is going to fight. and the iraqi military. >> this has been going on more than a year, right? that it was a threat, and the president has none dujing for a year. now, they're attacking lebanon, syria. they may attack jordan. this rhetoric we have to give to saudis and turks. this doesn't mean anything anymore. would you, if you were the president of the united states, which you considered running at one time, would you bomb isis? would you bomb them? >> under the right circumstances i think american air power can be use fully employed >> why didn't we bomb them six months ago when they came across? we let them establish mosul and the kurds we're just impotent. >> not at all. that is untru

retired general wesley clark. good to see you. can air strikes defeat isis or will there ultimately have to be a ground campaign to stop this terrorist group? >> i think you're going to need a ground campaign but not from u.s. troops. i think there are plenty of ground forces in the region. they've just got to be motivated and organized in a way that they can fight and they've got to be directed. the united states can play a behind-the-scenes role in that with diplomacy and economic help. we can provide a certain amount of information. we can provide combat multipliers like the air strikes but people have to be on the ground and identify the other force and take it out on the ground. >> why wouldn't air strikes work in this case? i know you led a successful 1999 air campaign during the kosovo war. >> it's a good question because the difference is great. we knew what the expectations were and they showed the fact that we could ramp up the escalation and showed him that his defeat was inevitable. in the case of isis, they are a revo

and the following year in the spring of 1999 my son wesley brought home a book from schoolh he was inh grade at the ugt time, he brought home a book sudoku and the thousand cranes. she was a real little girl who lived in hiroshima, she was two years old when the bomb exploded. she and her family survived almost unscathed but she developed radiation induced leukemia nine years later, in a effort to help cure herself she followed a japanese tradition that says if you fold a thousand oth origami paper cranes, you are granted a wish.in she folded more than 1,000 paper cranes, about 1,300. unfortunately, that did not at d help. she died of leukemia on octobe 25th, 1955, she was 12 years old. within three years, her friends and family and citizens of hiroshima had raised the money to buildfr a statue to her and all the children killed, wounde and sickened by the atomic bombd it stands today in the peace p park,ea she's holding up a gian paper crane.cran each year, people from around aa the world leave paper cranes at that memorial. they leave them all over hiroshima and nagasaki. but at her

general wesley clark former supreme allied commander of nato. where am i going wrong?i think isis will be a threat to the united states. it's not a threat right now. has some nasty rhetoric. certainly a threat to governments in the region and i think the united states has to work with our allies in the region and bring a concert of various nations to put their power to work against isis. >> you want a coalition of the willing. >> well, i want a coalition of the people who are there and -- >> like who? >> we need to be helping the curds. they're going to fight. the turks have an interest. they'll fight. the lebanese army is going to fight. the saudis are engaged and, of course, the iraqi military. >> this isis thing is going on for more than a year, all right. u.s. intelligence have informed president obama that isis is growing in power in syria, that it was a threat and president obama had done nothing for more than a year. now, now they're on the verge of attack baghdad 60 miles away and attacking lebanon. they're attacking in syria. they may attack jordan so all of t

i want to bring in the former commander of nato, wesley clark.lark, i have been looking forward to chatting with you. i made notes to say to general clark, i guess it was a good week in iraq. nuri al maliki is relinquishing power. yizidis are getting help. there is ever a good week in iraq in the foreseeable future? >> i think we will have a year, several years, or decade or more of trouble in the middle east. the whole region is in turmoil one way or another. some suppressed or repressed by authorities. some of it comes out and a lot of it is due to its young people without jobs. it's rising expectations and resentment of the west. it's protection of what they believe are the truths of god. so there's a lot of elements to this. it was a good week in iraq. we did through working with the kurds and with the central intelligence agency providing military assistance to them on an urgent basis. the use of aircraft to bring in strikes, yes, we helped a lot of the yizidis get off the mountain. the bulk of them escaped. there apparently is still cell ph

. >> let's bring in retired four-star general wesley clark. he's also a former nato supreme allied commander for europe and now a senior flow with the ucla burkle center. good to see you as always. let's start with what the deputy supreme allied commander of nato said what russia is doing now is "causing a seriously destabilizing effect" on ukraine and that nato needs to be prepared if russia turns on a nato country. is russia a threat to nato, do you think? >> well, i think when you try to make labels like that, that you get yourself in trouble. but let's put it this way. there's a lot of concern in nato countries especially eastern european nato countries that the tactics and strategies that russia is following lead right to them. so that if they can destabilize ukraine through this -- it's basically a war of subversion. and it's perpetrated not only by the russian intelligence agencies but by regular russian military forces. they've got a brigade from their far eastern military district that's been pulled all the way across russia and assig

well, there's wesley on the scooter, right? for his girl to come up. >> hi. >> i'm here to get you. >> what? >> it's only a 30-minute drive. >> 30 minutes? >> she's been traveling, she just wants in the car to go home. >> this is a stupid male not thinking about anything except the fact that he was probably feeling forced to pick up his girlfriend. >> exactly. >> that's what this is. that's why there's someone recording this from a vehicle that will eventually take her home. >> airport attendants here, words of advice for the girl. >> you have to pick up your bag. >> she's exhausted. shements to go home. >> she straps it up, but the exchange is hystericalhysterica. >> we'll go through the drive-through. >> what do i do with the food? >> eat on the go. >> she's got words, that girl. >> eventually, loaded up, and they start getting ready to go. >> i don't have money for a taxi. >> i spent all the money i earned this week. >> on what? >> an xbox. >> man, she loves this guy. he's dragging it out. >> i hope he takes her, like, 20 fe

joining me now from the aspen institute, four star general and former commander wesley clark and seniorellow for the council on foreign relations, steven cook. steven, let me start with you in terms of maliki's next move. do you think there's a likelihood that nurial maliki will allow al babadi to form a new government peacefully. >> it seems that he will likely have to yield, but maliki still has the ability to make trouble. we saw that the other night when he deployed special forces loyal to him. despite his pronouncement that the armed forces should stay away from politics, he still has some support in some places that can certainly make trouble for al abadi. >> general clark, tactically speaking, in the long term, solution to what is happening in iraq, there's a lot of talk about an inclusive government. and i just wonder how feasible you think that is, especially now there are reports that the u.s. may be sending weaponry to the kurds. >> i think it is feasible to look at the more inclusive government. i wouldn't rule it out. it's going to take a different prime minister with a dif

here's the video captured by "washington post" reporter wesley lowery. >> stop videoing and grab ourtuff and go. >> hurry up and go. >> please don't -- >> let's go. >> you see me working? please do not tell me not to use my -- >> time to go. we're down to about 45 seconds. let's go. >> all right. so reporters lowry and another reporter from "the huffington post" named ryan reilly were taken into custody, they were handcuffed and detained. both say they were aggressively handled. i want to bring in cnn's senior media correspondent and host of "reliable sources" brian stelter to talk about this along with mike brooks, hln law enforcement analyst. mike, as you were seeing video of this, was this proper police procedure? >> absolutely not. i looked at this and having been with a can -- a police officer for over 26 years and the emergency response team in washington for a long, long time, no, this was not proper at all. number one, when is the police now in charge of closing down restaurants? was there a threat to this restaurant in were these reporters in danger? to. it seems that they w

the first is wesley lowery of the washington post. the other is ryan riley of the huffing post.et me show you a video recorded. he was in a mcdonald's working on his story for "the washington post" newspaper when police came to him and told him he had to leave. here's the clip. >> let's go. >> i'm working on it. >> stop videotaping and let's go. >> i don't have the right to videotape? >> let's go. >> you see me working. >> time to go. we're down to 45 seconds. let's go. >> is it the -- >> let's go. no time to ask questions. you can move your car if it's out here. >> it is. >> let's go. let's go. let's go. here's a door over here. let's go. let's go. you can move. move. >> sir -- >> let's move this way. >> reporters do have a right to record. so do citizens if they're in an experience like that. in these cases, these reporters were taken into custody for 45 minutes and released with no explanation. they weren't allowed to be told the names of the officers or anything like that. both the editors of those organizations have come out and condemned what happened and said it was very

the video we played with wesley lowry said what one of the things that upset the officer was that he was trying to film him. how widespread is that? have you noticed the police trying to keep people from filming them and catching their activities on the tape at all? >> they have never said anything to us. we have been out there since saturday obviously when the shooting of michael brown happened. saturday afternoon. then sunday when it really started to get intense later in the night. we never had instances where the police officers were coming up to us, moving our cameras railroad touching us. they would tell us to missouri back for our safety. we agreed because the swags were getting more intense every second that went by. we were never told to stop filming. at one point last night when we were filming what happened to aljazeera's crew we got a little nervous. so we stopped filming. it wasn't because they told us to. >> was there anything in particular -- i'm curious. the police tried to disburse the film crew and then their first thought is to point the cameras on the ground. ther

it was incredible. >> that is ryan reilly who was arrested along with wesley lowery. lowery said the police slammed him into a soda machine, one point setting off the coke dispenser. later on, l.a. times reporter matt pearce tweeted -- i heard a debate this morning, patricia bynes, on cnn where the person defending the police officers was saying, you don't know. don't rush to judgment. they might have arrested the reporters to protect them. patricia bynes? >> oh, wow. that is the type of protection needs these days? it is adding filter the fire of a community that doesn't re trust them. -- it is adding fuel to the fire to community that already doesn't trust them. anre was tear gas thrown at al jazeera crew last night and police came and took down their cameras. if they're concerned about looking thorough, it is just not looking fair. in the community is calling for a fair and thorough investigation and st. louis county thinks they can do that, this type of karzai military activity and trying to come down hard on the media doesn't help that. aboutld you talk somewhat

wesley snipes is in this one. >> you name it, we got it. >> jimmy: i mean -- this is unbelievable. [ovies? >> actually, it was kind of an odd thing. harrison ford was doing -- before he did "star wars," i had just finished "rocky" and something like that, yes. and i was drawing up for an audition. oh, there's this thing that's about a space vehicle, "star wars." so i go in there and i see george lucas and the producer. and i can tell instantly, you know when no one likes you. they look like this. [ laughter ] and i'm serious. and i acted -- and this is not disparaging george lucas or whatever, but after you've seen a hundred people, you get tired, two hundred people, so you just hope that the guy in front of you disappears, like a spider eats me. [ laughter ] there was a fly. and i was reading for han solo, but i got, maybe -- well, i got nowhere, actually. i was there to read for it, and they go, "you're really. yeah, you're umm --" i said, "let me just make it easy for you. i would look like crap in spandex, leotards and a ray gun. [ laughter ] i get it." >> jimmy: you backed out o

. >> and wesley, i want to ask about what you think is going to happen today. the lack of information or -- yeah, information about what happened saturday night is what is leading many people to feel the frustration. do we expect something to change today? because, you know, it doesn't seem like it's getting anywhere >>well, we believe we'll get a lit more information today. we believe we might get the name of the police officer who was involved in the shooting. again, that could do one of two things. that could, in some way, calm down the residents here, but it could, in fact, infuriate everything a little bit more. we expect a little trickle of more information today. it remains to be seen if it's going to be something to help ignite the city again. or if it'll have a calming influence. >> you know wesley, i see it's not getting miles per hoanywher. when it's not clear they're looking into being specific and honest and open and transparent. it seems as though we're going to be in the stand still and the standoff until we see there is actually information tran

>> wesley lowery from the washington post discussed the confrontation with jose diaz earlier today. >> we were recording them on video because a forceful evacuation of a private fast food chain is news, it's something that i can send to viewers and they would see what's going on on the ground and the officer took exception to the fact that i was videotaping him and he tried to illegally prevent me from doing that. i told him, sir, do i not have a right to do this? they threw me up against a soda machine and i'm not resisting. you can't arrest me. it's fine. >> there have been reports from multiple journalists who were saying, police fired tees gas. msnbc.com tremane lee was caught in the chaos before he went on the air with lawrence o'donnell. >> i can barely breathe. my nose is burning, my lungs are burning. my eyes are burning. i just can't escape it. the further back you go, it still hangs in the air and so -- it looks like the police have taken over completely at the end of the street, but again, far down the street the clouds of tear gas are engulfing everything and just a few se

. >> joining me now spider marks as well as former supreme nato allied commander wesley clark as wellcould begin with you, general. just showing our viewers today exactly what happened, the new evidence. we'll start here. you had -- this is where the satellite pictures that nato released zeroed in on. and here close to that eastern border, you see the tank movements in and you see some of the movements that they're carrying around on the roads there. what also happened today, and that's where our diana magnay was down here in the southeast part of the country and that's where this video, what quluk yan officials say was a russian tank seen there. evidence of a second front opening up here. how significant are these moves? >> hugely significant. "new york times" this morning called it a stealth invasion. there's nothing stealthy when you have this type of imagery, this type of intelligence evidence that clearly russia is involved directly in these operations in ukraine. >> listen, that's the thing. pu you still use the word invasion. general clark, i wonder if i can ask you -- and we'l
