let's listen to whoopi goldberg. >> was some bonehead have been present -- i'm saying what i said lastsue. because that guy would've handed ukraine over to the russians. >> except we had a four-year term of president trump and there was no invasion. the big last time i checked this invasion happened under someone else's watch. that's one more example to me as well of minimizing what is occurring in that situation and then we have that same explosive hyperbolic rhetoric about what happens here. so we had msnbc host, truck documents that he was stunned when the president gave his state of the union address. his failure to essentially equate the fight for democracy and freedom abroad, to connect it for the fight democracy and freedom at home. probably because there is nothing similar about the two. here point, carly come i think it's pretty clear that one is facing an existential crisis minimize a minute with the potential for escalation into a global war. then one is about democrats crying about republican rampant suppression of votes. i mean it's absolutely ridiculous to think that the

taken back, again seen as unlikely, it has only happened once in the history of the academy, whoopi goldbergacademy governor says it is not going to happen in this case. the most likely result will be some sort of temporary suspension, perhaps a reprimand, but will smith has two weeks to respond before his fate is decided at a board meeting in the middle of april. which i should also say chris rock on the other end of that slap of course has been back on stage as a standsup comic, he says he is still protesting what happened on that oscar -- processing what happened on ha oscar stage. >> for tomorrow, the majority of people in england will have to pay for lateral protest, and the decision has been criticized by some, a total disregard for the government for the fears and concerns of people at risk. and we have more from a pharmacy in london to find out more. hello to you. we were saying in the last hour, and we haven't been able to get a hold of these test force weeks. >> yes, you and me both. >> we're not the only ones, kay. we have come people coming in this morning, already asking for fre

its welcome getting cancelled after 26 season, despite stand-up performances by gil godfrey and whoopi goldbergton squares" has run its course don't get me wrong i happen to love transparency, but this particular show of questions about 19 reporters has become a source of chaos and obfuscation. it is a waste of time because we get so many worthless gotcha inquiries. as someone who has been both a hatchet man reporter and a gotcha target, i get it. who doesn't want to be the reporter who cracks jay powell good for them. but it doesn't do us any good. powell has to put a stop to this ridiculous game. he needs to make it much more like a quarterly earnings conference call. lots of people in business think one quarter is too short a period to measure a company's performance let alone a month, but i have taken my cue from the late andy grove, founder of intel, who argued it is the perfect stretch to hold executives accountable he has a great bit about it, one of the best books ever written he felt you should be able to course correct in a three-month period and if you didn't feel capable of doing th

not let facts get in the way of another excuse to plant this on donald trump or just listen to whoopi goldbergot even worth playing at this particular point in time. she is coming that donald trump, if he was still in office, would have given you cringe at the the american people, they are not buying any of this lunacy, because the harbor terrace poll defines the vast majority of americans get it and believe putin would not have invaded. it was donald trump that sanctioned nord stream 2. the waiver was given by biden. jennings now, south carolina senator lindsey graham with us. senator, you are still under fire because you said you hold people around putin -- and i said the same thing -- that they have a conscience and a soul and they are witnessing the murdering of men, women, and children, do the right thing by whatever means necessary. more and more, everybody i meet is telling me that you are right, i am right, mark levin is going to be in on a minute, he is right. >> right. i will tell you where i am not under fire, that south carolina. i've spent the weekend at home. let's say this. the

the only person from the academy who has said something, whoopi goldberg talking this morning on a show she says chris rock has decided not to press charges and that was announced by the los angeles police department yesterday. she said, we are not going to take that oscar from him, there will be consequences, iam from him, there will be consequences, i am sure, but we don't know what they are. hollywood is quite forgiving of its big stars, particularly if they are bringing in a lot of money, so we will see. find a lot of money, so we will see. and a lot of money, so we will see. and a word for— a lot of money, so we will see. and a word for the _ a lot of money, so we will see. and a word for the film _ a lot of money, so we will see. and a word for the film he starred in, this is a big moment for the story of the williams sisters and their father. again, this is perhaps not the way they would have wanted that story to be celebrated. ida. story to be celebrated. no, definitely — story to be celebrated. no, definitely not. _ story to be celebrated. no, definitely not. think i story to be

"i would like to publicly apologize to you, chris. i was out of line and i was wrong. i'm embarrassed." but some voices in hollywood are coming down hard on smith including jimmy kimmel. >> insaulting chris rock and then winning the oscar, it's like storming out of the house after breaking up with your girlfriend and coming back in because you forgot your keys. >> smith's mother speaking out publicly for the first time since the incident. >> that's the first time i've ever seen him go off. the first time. >> smith's wife, actress jada pink et smith was the target of rock's joke about her shaved head. >> jada, i love you. g.i. jane ii, i can't wait to see it. >> it's not clear if he knew that her hair loss results from a condition. her br
