leader, he can do what harry reed do years ago. he can change the rules, do that so-called nuclear option so only 51 votes are needed to confirm a united states nominee for the supreme court. that is potentially very likely. >> i hope not. i hope that mitch mcconnell will think twice before doing something as short cited as that. i think we should all keep in mind that the supreme court is the highest court in the land and that person should have a 60 vote minimum requirement. as i said as opposed to bare minimum of senators who will be voting. that is not representative of what we should be doing for the supreme court nominee. >> senator hirono, thank for joining us. >> thank you. >> we're all following important developments into the investigation into civilian deaths in iraq. both u.s. and iraqi officials are looking into allegations that more than 100 civilians have been killed in recent air strikes and in mosul. one -- in iraq not very far away from mosul. bar barbara starr is at the pentagon. what's the latest. >> they are looking they say at every piece of data they can. in fact, a

thanks to harry reid. it looks like we'll lose it for supreme court justices. if not this time, you can be sure the next one. then the question is will the filibuster remain for legislation. >> a major change if in fact it happens. thanks very much for that conversation, brianna, david and ryan lizza. >>> coming up, the pentagon taking some blame now in announcing an official investigation into an incident this month that killed hundreds of civilians in mosul. we have details. when my doctor told me i have age-related macular degeneration, amd, he told me to look at this grid every day. and we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression, including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. its raised 1 dare devil, 2 dynamic diy duos, and an entrepreneur named sharon. its witnessed 31 crashes, 4 food fights, and the flood of '09. it's yo

meant to go through. we didn't write this bill in my office on christmas eve like they did in harry reid's office and jamb it through to an unsuspecting country. it goes to the budget committee the next week and the rules committee the week after that which is regular order. so, i'm excited we're doing this the right way. we're doing this out in plain sight. go to read the bill.gop. what i want to tell my fellow citizens as the nightmare of obamacare is about to end, we are doing what we said we would do in this campaign which is repeal and replace this awful law that is crashing. let me say one more thing. let's not forget, obamacare is collapsing. obamacare isn't staying. if we did nothing, the law would collapse and leave everybody without affordable health care. we are doing a act of mercy by repealing this law and replacing it with patient-centered health care reforms that we as conservatives have been arguing for and fighting for for years. chet. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i don't think so. let me just give you a list of what's in here that conservatives should be excited about. num

received senate reports. in fact during the nomination on the senate floor when senator hairy re harry read, it was then senator and now jeff sessions who stopped him and i said i have a high standard before i would attempt to block an up our down vote and asked them to proceed with a vote. judge gorsuch had met with most of the senate democratic caucus. he has gone through days of hearing and answered probing questions. he is qualified and deserves the def -- a few things i want to highlight. last night the president announced his intent to nominate one to serve as the attorney general of the anti-trust division at the department of justice and this morning we announced the president's declaration that a major disaster existed in the state of nevada and to assist recovery efforts from this past february. this morning the president was received that ford announced $1.2 billion in three manufacturing facilities in michigan two weeks after auto executives came to the white house and met with the president. this adds to the growing wave of jobs news under the president and continued inves

of the program? hit me with it. smerconish clapper -- harry shearer? whoa. smerconish, clapper lied under oath at a congressional hearing. why is he a credible source? harry, when i heard clapper's testimony, i was listening at 11. hit me with another one. you spinal tap fans know exactly what i'm saying. that's harry shearer. if you close your eyes while bogle is speaking and listen, you'd think he was a 20-year-old man. sharp as a whip. great interview. so glad you liked it. he is an unbelievably decent individual. and i would elect him right now at age 87 or 88 to be president of the united states. keep tweeting me @smerconish. we've got something really funny on my facebook page as well. i'll see you next week. sir? you give me that salad and i will pay for your movie and one snack box. can i keep the walnuts? yes. but i get to pick your movie. can i pick the genre? nope. with the blue cash everyday card you get cash back on purchases with no annual fee. backed by the service and security of american express. >>> thanks for being with us on a saturday. you are live in the "cnn n

. hello, sir. happy friday. >> hello to you. >> shane harris and carol lee broke this story in the newspaper. what does shane tell you? what's his intel? >> he provided the back ground facts. they did break this story and i gri g agreed it could be huge or nothing lieutenant general flynn may know where the bodies are buried and could implicate people or it could just be good lawyering. we live in politically tumultuous times and maybe his lawyer is taking the prudent pat path and say you want to talk to my guy, grant him immunity. what is most troubling for flynn is not meddling in the election. he was a national adviser to president trump. he was not an operative or at that level. perhaps he's concerned about failure to disclose in some of his financial forms that he had been paid by russian-affiliated entities and he'd like some peace of mind on that before he talks before the congressional committee. >> were you surprised that the president tweeted about this? >> i wasn't. i think it fits the president's political purpose of saying this is all noise, this is all a witch hunt, d

. that's what we do with presidents. harry truman's, the buck stops here. this happened on president obama's watch -- >> you've heard those "new york times" articles. i would suggest you go back and read donald trump's tweets because what he alleged is not what you are saying. what he alleged -- what judge napolitano is saying is that this is an -- we're not parsing words. we're reading literal tweets from the president of the united states. and judge napolitano is doing the exact same thing and his sourcing says that the president of the united states, president obama, was running an off the books intel operation using british intelligence and there's no evidence of that. >> correct. and fox news has backed away from the story as you heard with magg maggie, the "new york times" is not backing away. [ talking over each other ] >> i'm sorry, but i have to defend both the reporting that my colleagues have done, which is -- you are misrepresenting. >> who do they work for? >> who? >> the people in your stories, your sources -- >> we would not talk about who our sources were. you know th

administration, harry truman had the buck stops here. president trump has talk to fox. >> the buck stops at fox, right. talk to that talented legal mind. in a way it's so ridiculous, one doesn't take it seriously. think about what is being alleged. the preceding of the united states, president obama, went around normal channels, cia, justice department, fbi, somehow got british intelligence to tap, to bug the republican presidential candidate in the u.s. think how many levels of illegality and conspiracy we're talking about here if this were true. it would dwarf watergate even, going around all these procedures that are in place. that's why the british are so appalled. look at their statements, they're very unusual. they just can't believe the president has let the white house spokesman say this from the podium and he sort of half backs it up by making a joke about angela merkel. so it is really appalling i've got to say and has really implications for our foreign policy. we have a very close intelligence relationship with britain. what are they going to think now? >> abby, i have

., sit down with him and between them you have legendary shows like dick van dyke, harry met sally, i could go on. i learned that laughter and politics really just in their dna. did you grow up laughing in this house? >> the funny est people in the world came into this house. people have asked me a million times what it was like growing up in a household where there was mel brooks and there's -- norman lear, just the funny est people in the world. i said, well, you don't know as a kid, you're growing up, you don't know that's your reality. >> i was trying to think of when he was very, very young, four, five and six years old, when mel and i would be kidding around in the living room he would sit on the steps and listen and laugh. we didn't understand how this kid knew what he was thinking about. matter of fact, when he was 12 years old or 13 or 15 he threw in a joke we still use. >> i was staying up late last night rewatching scenes from when harry met sally which i've seen 18 times at least. >> really? >> oh, yeah. the scene when she's faking the org asm, i'll have what you're having

confirmed. they were at the lunch and then steve roth, josh harris, co-founder of apollo global management, bill ford, the ceo of general atlantic. lynn scarlet, the managing director of the nature conservancy and elan musk of space x. later this afternoon the president will meet with congressman elijah cummings to discuss rising prescription drug prices. the president is looking forward to continuing the dialogue they started a few weeks ago. at 4:00 the president will meet with ryan zinke to discuss the priorities of the department of interior, especially as it pertains to the government owned lands in alaska. this evening the president will meet with conservative leaders about healthcare. we'll have more details a little bit later this afternoon. the president and vice president support the house bill for obamacare to repeal and replace. tonight, the president will have dinner with senator and mrs. cruz. finally, a couple of additional administration announcements. today, the president and the first lady announce the initial details for the 139th white house easter egg roll t

is spinal tap, but harry sheer is also a legendary political satterist and he's here to turn it up to 11. >>> but first, yesterday on my radio program i said that should the gop health care program go down in flames, it would be due to a failure to answer a basic fundamental question. what was the goal? say what you will about president obama and the affordable care act but it stood for a purpose that everyone, even opponents understood. namely to supply more americans with health care, to establish universal coverage. that was the failure with the republican plan, that there was no universal objective, no singular purpose, no common denominator other than to dismantle the affordable care act which might be fine, so long as you have a replacement that is capable of explanation. it is, afterall, now an entitlement which people are loathed to giveup. but despite there have been been more than 60 votes to repeal obamacare since it passed, now when it mattered and with control of the white house, the house of representstives and the it senate the gop couldn't get it done. proving that

ugly and so we're right back where we were with harry reid and mcconnell, both of them batting around like a couple of prize fighters, and where will the country go, and pelosi knocking this one and this one going this way and ryan. i mean, it's nuts, and the american people have had it, and that's why this -- that's why this man is president. they have said we have had it. we know one thing. they are haul jerks, and, you know, bernie, look at berniep. he was doing pretty well, too. >> and forgive me for jumping in because i'm up against a wall and i'm out of time. i can only imagine what it's like to watch from your perch in wyoming and the goings on in washington these days. we'll have you back. senator alan simpson. thank you so, so much. we're back in just a moment.

good job, harry s. truman. our strong ties go back throughout american history. irish-americans played a vital role in preserving our union during its hour of greatest need. so true. played a very, very big role. many distinguish themselves in the american civil war with their grit and bravery and courage, earning the nickname the fighting irish. i know a lot about the irish. they fight. i know a lot. i know more than i'm ever going to tell you. when american armed forces joined the fight in europe during world war ii, 75 years ago, our heroic troops first draft stepped off shifts in belfast harbor. throughout the centuries, hard-working irish-americans contributed mightily to america's innovation and america's prosperity. they often overcame great hardship. it's, like, the hardship they overcame. for us, for our people, is inspiring and really helped a relatively young nation beyond what anyone really understands or knows. we want to thank you. it's just an amazing, amazing history. president john f. kennedy, in an address to the irish parliament, said that it is that quality o

harry reid last october make those same claims. remember, it was in october when the fbi opened their investigation into the server and closed it within the month of october because they found nothing. >> sean: sara, this is amazing. we've been hearing for months and months and months and months potential fisa surveillance warrants being issued, other warrants, president tweets out there was surveillance where he said wiretapped -- really just interchanging words. he is right. the media blasted him for that treaty sent out. but there was surveillance. there were two warrants. they found no evidence at all to say there was any collusion. don't you think, in light of all of the media coverage of this, that there is a dereliction of duty in informing the american people what you and john solomon, both great, objective journalists, investigative reporters have found, don't you think those are major headlines they are ignoring? >> absolutely. but i think is that you need to go to the truth. i'll tell you where there is evidence, there will be evidence as to leaked this information if there

, well, hillary clinton seems to have known about it? how did harry reid seeminglyly know about it before the election? >> correct, there with the briefing apparently. some of the folks were briefed on this. that is what we believe. that is why harry reid came out and was making these big statements like there is going to be fake evidence coming out between russia and the election hacking and at the trump campaign. and then remember in december, that is when there were definite -- you don't want to say but people got access to flynn's name on the transcript. that was a completely separate -- >> sean: we learned over the weekend from the putin spokesperson that hillary clinton had t discussios as well. >> this is a normal process. absolutely. >> sean: from a political perspective, is it possible that someone high-profile on the left used their influence or something? you are using potentially intelligence and law enforcement as a means of criminalizing or investigating a political opponent or malposition party during a presidential election. >> you bring up a very good point. it needs to b

restarting and then all of a sudden you start seeing a lot of democrats, harry reid, slate magazine started to raise questions. tweeting back on the 30th and 31st, it appears somewhere in october or whatever is going on in the intelligence community became a political talking points for the democrats. is it coincidental or did something actually happen where people passed on information that the intelligence committee had found, we don't know the answer. this bill and let me ask about the. if two weeks before he goes, now 16 other agencies can see all this, doesn't look like a trap that was being set by the former present to the new president to you. >> good question, expanded so many people to access fisa warrants that had long been kept in a very small group of people, whether it's a trap or an opportunity to get the rest of the wash of the story out before president obama left. a >> sean: in your investigation all of your sources said the fbi, found no collusion at all. the media has been wrong for all these months about this russian connection narrative. >> if you watched on the tv swea

. >> katherine harris, fox news. >> shannon: west virginia senator joe manchin and north dakota heidi heitkamp are the first two democrats to say they will vote to confirm president trump's nominee to the supreme court. the announcements come as claire mccaskill says there is political risk in filibustering the vote on neil gorsuch. she said it would lead republicans to change senate rules, making it easier to push through another justice later. all three senators come from states mr. trump carried in the election and are up for reelection next year. a tsa worker in atlanta has been fired for missing a loaded gun in a passenger's carry-on bag. the passenger noticed she had brought her gun with her and she told officers. she was then arrested. tsa officials say that worker who missed the handgun was already on probation. dow gained a 69. s&p 500 finished ahead. nasdaq jumped 17. a sexual assault case involving two illegal immigrants is gaining national attention with its graphic and sometimes lurid details being released to the public. doug mckelway has latest on the case we have to wa

is in october, harry reid said there's going to be some explosive evidence. >> hillary clinton tweeted a week before the election. this and we believe peoplete wee people were getting away for this and we believe people were briefed on this. this is when everything started. this is what these intelligence officials are telling us, this has become highly politicized from october all the way through january with the removal of general flynn and from the nsa, this has become so politicized that they are watching this in a horror and they wanted to set the record straight. >> sean: one last question, we did learn from wikileaks thatho the cia uses a stolen malware to give attribution to cyberas attacks from other nations, and they leave the fingerprints, they can do the job and leave the fingerprints and say it looks like the russians didn't is that possible that that happened here? >> that something we have to investigate. i have no evidence of that. they are capable. and so are other intelligence agencies. >> sean: thank you for your great work, were going to abntinue to follow t

go ahead and break the filibuster, following the lead that harry reid, the precedent that he set for the appellate courts and change the rules for the supreme court? >> yes, i do think that they will have the votes. and it's good to remember, you know, democrats said they would break the filibuster for supreme court nominees as well. harry reid said he would do it and also a hillary clinton's running mate tim kaine said that they would do it for a supreme court nominee. so this is, you know, very much following -- paul: could this be a mistake for the democrats, to try to use -- to filibuster gorsuch if the republicans are so determined to break it? >> yes, i think harry -- sorry, chuck schumer is not thinking strategically here. he's just reacting to his base. we had quotes from john mccain and lindsey graham, both of whom are thought to be weak on this question -- paul: right. >> -- and both of them said if it's necessary, you know, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, but mccain said none of us wants to do it, but we're going to confirm gorsuch. paul: and if they break it th

keep on having. >> bret: the last thing. why is it nancy pelosi and then harry reid were able to keep democrats much more in line on voting for big things that republicans? it seems like as we are adding up heads and talking to people up on the hill, there is a lot of disparity, and a lot of pushback from the republican caucus. >> the way i look at that, bret, republicans are much more individualistic. [laughs] we are more individualists generally speaking. at the end of the day, president trump made it really clear at his great, fantastic speech he gave on tuesday. we've got big things to do, we've got to unify this. either you want to repeal the replaceable care or you don't do it by the republicans will say yes to that in congress. i think you either want to rebuild our military or you don't. i think republicans are going to say yes to that. we will have negotiations all public on tv about how we want to achieve these shared conservative goals. at the end of the day when we make decisions that this is a consensus among republicans, this is the direction that the president want

did harry reid find out? >> exactly, he would not answer those questions. early in those interview, he said regularly he would inform the white house and other intelligence agencies, the gang of eight intelligence community. we apprise them of counter intel investigations like this on a quarterly basis. if it started last july, why is it taking formal basis until now? to reveal it? i thought he got really squarely will not all been a congresswoman about that. >> hannity: i think when we get to the end of this were going to find a lot of politics i think you're right. i think probably a lot of people not only in the intelligence community but may be within the fbi and the cia have in fact been politicized. that is a danger to the entire country. i don't say that lately, i'm sitting a very small few. not the majority. >> that issue that you've been hitting all night almost of the leak, everyone on the east cable networks, republicans are obsessed with leaks. the only crime that we know that has been committed definitively is leaking mike flynn's name to the media. if that's a felony,

want it crossed between socrates and dirty harry. i believe you might be that person. >> others, using their time to criticize the president. >> the independence of the judges has never been more threatened than ever more important. large part of the threat comes from the man who nominated you. >> went gorsuch last faced senate confirmation and 26 teen, he was approved unanimously. there was no recorded opposition from senators, including chuck schumer, dianne feinstein, and dick durbin. many democrats say this is different, given that gorsuch has a decade-long judicial record, including favorable positions for hobby lobby and the little sisters of the poor when those groups challenge the obamacare contraception mandate. >> you may not like the view he has of the law but i am dying to hear some of the over there tell me why he's not qualified to be sitting here when a republican president occupies down the street. >> gorsuch spoke fondly of justice scalia and noting that his mentor reminded him it's his job to follow the words of the law, not to replace them. >> sometimes the answers w

used? >> i hope not. harry reid, when he changed the rules, did not do the supreme court at my suggestion. i said it's an important position. i said cabinet too but he didn't listen to me. it's so important, you should get 60 votes. >> bret: you've known donald trump for a long time. he recalled how he helped democrats. despite the politics and the political evolution, do you observe any differences between the man you knew and the man who is now president? >> i will tell you have a lot of his personality traits are the same, whether you like them or not. as a president and president-elect he has moved further to the right and how he campaigned. >> bret: can you negotiate with him? >> certainly if he recognizes our values are here and

trevor and i always mess up his last name. also city manager harry black is traveling today web's not able but i have been in contact with him throughout the night and the morning and he's fully aware of what's taken place. let me begin by saying last night at about 1:30 a.m., our emergency communications section began receiving calls that shots had been fired with injuries inside the cameo nightclub located at 4601 kellogg avenue. the night unfolded and the initial investigation determined the bar was very crowd. approximately a couple hundred people. and what we know at this point in the investigation, several local men got into some type of dispute inside the bar. and it escalated into shots being fired from several individual. as a result, there were 16 people that sustained gunshot injuries. one of which is deceased. a total of 15 others that were injured, one in extremely critical condition in addition to that. several others more serious injuries, and some very minor and were released. the individual that was deceased at the scene has been identified, his family has been identi

of deadlines tomorrow, a health care vote and we also have katherine harris telling us tomorrow is the deadline for some of the information around the wiretap issue, setting up for a busy news day tomorrow. >> it is, i've come to the conclusion that it's probably necessary to get an independent counsel to do investigations of both the previous administration. the trump administration is nothing to worry about in terms of investigating, did they have any collisions with the russians? i think the answer is an emphatic no. i do think there is a lot of smoke and likely fire, everything points to the fact that there was illegal surveillance going on with private citizens, the biggest question is who in the heck ought to be criminally prosecuted for letting that information out? and somebody should do. >> eric: more tomorrow, you want to talk about the national endowment for the arts and some of the funding they may be losing. >> i think it's a real tragedy. it's .004% of the federal budget it's not going to save it. a lot of people don't understand that when were talking about music and

a high five. and you still wrote that email. that is what is amazing. good decisions, harry truman had to make -- dwarfed with what our path politicians today are dealing with. finally, tonight. the factor "tip of the day." snow armageddon, heading towards the northeast. those that live in the rocky mountain region laugh at a foot of snow. you mock it because that can happen in may. but tomorrow here in new york city, up and down the east coast could be more than a foot of snow. panic is on. people are buying entire counters. 18 flash drives. canned soup that will last for 80 years. you get the idea. the weather forecasters are hysterical, many of them breaking down. already many schools are closed. people have been seen weeping. so here is the "tip of the day." overreaction is never a good thing. if it snows tomorrow, good. build a snowman. have some fun. it has nothing to do with global warming and if you have mittens, you will be fine. that is it for us tonight. please check out the fox factor web site, different from billoreilly.com. we would like you to spout out about "the fa

believe the republican leadership is going to do what nancy pelosi tried to do and harry reid tried to do with obamacare. it would be a disaster to try to ram through something without having it out in the open, without making it amendable, without any chance to talk it through. nobody is smart enough to fix 20% of the american economy, a matter of life and death for every american, in secret. it will become public. what speaker paul ryan said it's absolutely true. tom price, the new secretary of health and human services, a medical doctor, spent years as a member of congress working on this variation. on the budget committee. well, they have a guy in health and human services who understands how to work with house republicans. he is very acceptable to the senate republicans, they're going to have to talk all the stuff through and they will be a lot of tension. i have no doubt there will be a member and's operating and some of those amendments will pass but that is the legislative process. that's how america is supposed to operate. >> sean: you make me feel better when you say -- you put

?im >> bill: does the name harry reid mean anything to you? there is no bar. they're all in business to destroy one another. >> unhelpful is what i would say. >> bill: ridiculous that people are embarrassed by usa. far left loons like senator murphy are embarrassed. that's true. you can find them in every country. but the consensus is what? >> murphy, i think he is trying to be the foreign policy voice for democrats. but that's a big statement to make to say that our allies are embarrassed. if you're going to make a statement like that cannot back it up with some evidence. >> no, he doesn't. he doesn't have to back it up. >> has he called our leaders to ask how they feel about the country right now? >> bill: of course he doesn't. the american press isn't going to hold them to the fire, not going to say, that's irresponsible. we are probably the only show doing this segment tonight. doesn't have to back up anything. all he has to do is throw bomb after bomb after bomb.b. >> what does that lead to, bill? >> bill: chaos. >> ultimately they need to win elections to make a difference. >>

, you know, finally heading in the right direction. >> reporter: bank of america's ethan harris says another promising sign is the number of people who had stopped looking for work but have started again. >> particularly people who are prime working age. that's people who are 25-54, are starting to come back into the job market and look for work. that's a very important development. these people are the backbone of the job market. >> reporter: with the percentage of people either with a job or looking for one, the highest it's been in a year, the table is now set for wage growth. >> because that's the point where unemployment's low enough, workers now getting some negotiating power, that's a sign of the final stage of healing in a recovering economy. >> reporter: so how far away are we from seeing wages that reflect a full economic recovery? ethan harris says the low unemployment would have to continue for another couple of years. >> pelley: jim axelrod for us tonight, jim, thank you. well, today makes six days of silence by president trump on his claim that president obama tapped hi

." in 1988, correspondent harry reasoner and producer george crile traveled to afghanistan to tell the tale of a congressman from texas named charlie wilson. ( gunfire ) he persuaded the u.s. to arm the mujahideen, a band of holy warriors who were fighting the soviet union and their communist allies. ( explosion ) a few years later, slahi who was studying in germany, decided, along with thousands of other muslim men from around the world, to join the battle against the communists. >> slahi: this was a big coalition, including my country and your country. >> williams: what made you decide to go to afghanistan as a young man? >> slahi: i saw those horrific pictures of people, children being gassed, and i said, "i want to do something." then that's when i decide to travel, and i took a visa and then i went there, twice. >> williams: you thought you were fighting for a just cause. >> slahi: yes, i was sure then. i did not know. today, i know. >> williams: in afghanistan, slahi was trained to fight, not by the afghans, but by a group of foreign fighters dedicated to the cause. at the ti

. as she tells it, harry truman's creation of the central intelligence agency originated simply with a quest for a convenient delivery of information. >> on his desk every morning, there were stacks and stacks of military cables, which was the best effort at the time to give him information about what was going on in the world. but he found them very frustrating. so what he asked an aide to do which seemed very simple at the time was just to form a small group in the white house that would digest those cables and give him a few type-written pages every morning telling him what was the important intelligence. and so he borrowed 15 employees from elsewhere in the government and he called that the central intelligence group. >> reporter: less than two years later, this group, which had evolved into what is now called the central intelligence agency, had been granted the right to keep its spending secret and operate with little oversight. >> as harry truman said later, it was never supposed to be a cloak and dagger operation. they were just supposed to gather intelligence. so they were gat

harris and andre holland, here say piece of that. >> what is it you hope to accomplish with this film? >> you know, people have said that "moonlight" is a story that doesn't get told often and characters that we don't see often. they're like voiceless. and so my greatest hope for the 23eu8 am and it it is what i have experienced, tell your-- these places far removed from the setting of the film. >> rose: which is miami. >> exactly, and inner city miami, just these four jair blocks, that people can see themselves in these characters who they assume are nothing like them. and it's been my experience that people are finding a way to genuinely empathize with the story we're tell iting and the characters that we're showing in the fill. >> rose: now you know miami. >> born and raised, yeah. >> rose: and how did that shape this story? >> hugely, you know, there is-- there is almost an syne it thesia that happens in a place you know. there is a scene in the film where the character says sometimes that breeze comes through the hood. and liberty city where i grew up is three miles from the
