again this is all t. coming to life for most of the headlines. still are told to nato and russia reach not agreement on a missile defense shield for europe after talks and saw the alliance refuses moscow's calls for legal guarantees that it's a pro system for one target russian territory. general rascal love that you suggested from the new crime school for protesting at the junction of the hague enters a not guilty plea on his behalf to charges of genocide and crimes against humanity and while some subs accuse the tribe you know one sided justice and it's cost but it's. an undefined obama's plans to pull out troops from afghanistan come on that time at home from opponents who say it's too much of
6:33 pm
a military briskets town about the time it's continued. and there's the headlines up next to me to form a war correspondent that's taken away almost a thousand kilometers just to talk people out of. oh shaw love it barrington or something he can't have one without the other and that's the same way if you're going to support the troops you've got to support the war first you don't support it needs keep your mouth shut about it yeah don't need it dowd just get be quiet if you can't. support it like it be quiet and a message from the president of the united states george w. bush good morning the jurors are trying to divide america and break our will and we must not go away mother just succeed we will defeat the jurors every where they make their stream and we will leave a more hopeful world for our children and our grandchildren our goal in iraq is clear and unchanging our goal is victory. veterans for peace
6:34 pm
a chance to win eighteen in salt lake city of peace and justice organization we basically. work with all soldiers and all veterans to bring about peace some of us all even actually march with him all the way today. and one guy who has it and are protesting he was is an army ranger. it started out pretty tense and actually if you guys are going to discuss with you but this is a u.s. ranger man telling us it would seem to say look we're not. going to. go the country. but he can't want us to his credit so. you're not for reading and writing your morning systematic. yeah i think there's a middle ground and. then i think we agree on everything i say i think you get
6:35 pm
everything up until the point of what will bring stability. and i believe that stability with yourself for. the small difference of opinion that's marshall himself yeah i have i have a lot in common with him i support a lot of his views but the people they had an opportunity to encounter in the protest bush lied kids died yada yada yada michael moore you know fahrenheit nine eleven it's things like that they're completely to the left and jaded but more so i find him very you know very charming intelligence clean cut individual. no animosity for him you know and eventually yes i think if this were a perfect world we would be occupying iraq oh there was another counter protester bringing the total counter protesters to three and he was a young kid he had a here to camouflage on but i don't think he was in the military those people demonstrating that shit their disgrace to our country once again searching for that kind of need to get out of here and go live with the tears for all i care. because
6:36 pm
i said. what are they doing to people to troops that are just going home where they don't know that they're saying you know what you guys what you're doing is bad when all we're doing out there is trying to go out there and make a difference trying to help trying to trying to make so we can live here trying to make so people don't come here and kill innocent people while buildings are trying to do feel like it's feel like there's a spin on the same you know what. i tell it. just this is. i'm not i've never actually thought about the subject before so i can't say really have an opinion. or be neutral stance. what we do is american people we just go back our business like nothing. i eat now i don't have an opinion because i don't. listen to the news so i don't know anything about iraqi except that we're over there yeah but you know like it might be out there after these of those.
6:37 pm
you can start a discussion or debate with someone that it was you know sort of to be very draining because you do this big protest you're sacrificing all this time and energy. to do the things with and stuff people might even really. think a lot of people have a connection of like how people. in the modern medicine coffee. in the car sit back turned on the radio an attack outside of baghdad another choppers down by two a good man been in the center of the. evening news comes on the t.v. . two marines are killed i planned it i mean the big cat
6:38 pm
to both good old bean. two marines are killed two families left to greet. many or die overseas. in a war that was started in the brain and the brain just coming having. way to. move a grade. where used to yank both way into great big is big both into the second week of walking. through. the wood from above and beyond don't get a return to. build a wall with. their firm but from the east there dartmoor was even a korean war the only solar cookies for my moment my sister a crown of will go wrong in a slogan it's all or of a hero for you i don't know your job so we go
6:39 pm
a bad business day by day. giving little to a warning so far away from the clergy to his side from students not to stand for kids become soldiers mock proud. men and women to die first. to know all that was started. in the brain and the brain just coming. ways the old way areas during. the reign. of asean the way they're raising. their walk maybe over right there. i don't know. yesterday just i'm on the
6:40 pm
low i'm lifeless so did the ultrasound today. are smoking and praying that would eliminate cancer the sisters. swore. it wasn't so good it's probably fair to raise. their start to christmas she's preparing them for one. of them. is i should be there those are for year. only need to be your words. certain for the sport and so forth.
6:41 pm
i knew he wanted to quit because he wanted to be a good dad and he wanted to be there but i also knew that this walk is why he was a good dad and he said well. he'd walk in to get a second and keep walking toward final four this coming got up the next day and walk. thinking that maybe that would be the luster that did the work i was really happy that he could get up and he could keep walking even though he was scared to death and and devastated with the news. i was charged twelve felony counts for
6:42 pm
a possible total sense of one hundred fifteen years so with good behavior i'd be getting out of two thousand and eight. when i realized that the war was wrong and always get home which i realized when i read the earliest sections of the not papers i filtered what i could do was expose twenty three years of lies on some pretty good treatments and that it might help to solution people for war but expected there with seven thousand top secret pagers they would have to the full extent of the law against me and that there would be basically a life sentence. that's what nixon had in mind to put on i just thought it might help that i was ready to go to prison if it might help i told him to get a black person for the rest of your life it will be on your record right. and. at that point he said well if that's the case then it will be that i'll be sitting in prison in iran now that i did not order my hands are illegal is just i just want to
6:43 pm
get people in the military in this cause i think of all they have to evaluate what you're being told us to do. as the guardsman wielder goes around and even the mattress we didn't think it loaded we're going to be loaded gun on campus this is it was a college joint right why would they have loaded guns the guardsmen on the end of the line decided to not fire in the direction everybody else was but to turn ninety degrees and pick me off while i was running for cover and the bullet hit me in the the abdomen just below my belt and it knocked me through the ear into the groaned like someone swinging a sledge hammer like a baseball bat and hitting you like a cartoon image were flew in the air and landed on the ground i was shot a second time by a guardsman who testified in court that he knew had already been shot once and when they asked him so why did you shoot him he said well everyone else was shooting him
6:44 pm
. do you really think you could happen again yes i think we're going i think it's just waiting to happen because it's been a long time so they can pull this stunt again and i believe it was a stunt i believe this was planned to stop protesting and the more that protest in this current now the more i look for it to happen and today just scares ranko big. as my hero and his example really got me into all of this. i remember that he said once that there was a palpable turning point when public opinion really shifted against the war and it marked the beginning of the end of the vietnam war and he said that was kent state walked until he came to sign us apart and i could discuss a little bit more at the border in you miles but i really wanted to walk through zion national park the native americans who live there considered holy but it's.
6:45 pm
even the mormon manias when they came for the first explorers said surely this is god's first home and so it's a stake. sure enough the news guy i spent nearly every summer a minute. or so i couldn't walk or was. strictly to. get everything sorted through to the lot of people short of the other guy but he's still the bill if it was a good cancer or not but there was some reasonable doubt. or some reasonable hope that she'd her parents are. really certain that. you could make a difference this was worth so i think i just like the idea of no more bombs no more screaming no more. no more deaths from like bombs in the nuclear warfare
6:46 pm
nuclear north korea nuclear warfare my dad always gets around that nukes to me here . she seems good cook well she was much better than more god for our team. during the walk we kept getting e-mails from people that said you know i wish i could be there but i really care is there any is there anything i can do and sal and my sister in law got the idea that we have balloons there representing everybody that wanted to be there. from all over the world from europe from the middle east from australia from china we've got hundreds and hundreds of names and so much support for setting out of the shoes for me just tears real reality for me there's certainly a lot of emotion that goes through when you start reading names looking at names and beliefs and wonder in the story. why not sign up thank you ah so much for
6:47 pm
coming out. and who aren't so great for i wonder for paper better than such a big house on the spot. so great that they have black family i mean. never ever ever ever see this kind of. government ever heard of woman close never never have a grant tried to come close they will never enjoy all of the great things start next year provided. for us to be here in a matter of the first day i said you know marshall had to figure. the lesson that we wanted to be we had to be there and thank you for the privilege i'm lucky to get marshall for reminding us of our duty.
6:48 pm
as they neared the border i was excited i mean this is the slate in the film walk and did it. despite all the challenges. nobody believed the utah would support peace this much and it has sold all those people back in washington d.c. with all the hearts and warmongers know the utah supports peace. that the wonderful series. because they got caught up in the victories. right now just like a wonderful victory made of five hundred miles and it's thanks to all you into my family and all the wonderful people who've helped me to dog has walked almost every inch of it with me. i've never been prouder to be in right now so wonderful think. he's very much tempered
6:49 pm
by the sobering thought that the war was still going. anyone wearing a baseball cap are you coming out to take it off and place it over your left shoulder if you want to is not mandatory and then you want to watch the sun you can slow keep the cap until taps is completely played and then you can put it back on any questions. thank you. joe down in the books and the peace walk to incarcerated but he couldn't for both of them if they did that show don't have to look at the new stuff for us we are going to go california. today is veterans day and i would just like to thank. all of those that have served and all that are serving some of those that we're honoring today are represented by
6:50 pm
don't spy group conference there. that's how my son came home this is a picture of him as he turned twenty one. it was his last birthday. today and i asked you all to help me carry my grief. because it's very hard to carry myself. and if we learn to grieve as a nation. i think that this will help and seal as a nation someone is the trans day. we honor on the family thank you. very. much luther king said a time comes when silence is betrayal a time comes like the time we're in right now at this moment. when anything other then raise your voice opposition to this. is a betrayal of this country that we the so don't take me to one side says hey i want
6:51 pm
you to meet wrong. and. i had no idea and also there's frank who pick right in front of me you just have this or someone who spent his life doing good things and i think there is no greater right here than to be part of the peace process right now involved in bringing an end to this forest children's hospital healing this nation and committing ourselves to never allow what happened during the iraq war in viet nam to never happen again i told him that i'd seen born in the fourth of july in iraq and it really made him happy you know right you want to start over there you're going to do i had a right so yeah and i seriously that point really felt like the whole journey to come full circle. that you're sitting in iraq. and watching
6:52 pm
for the fourth of july about rogue prove it. didn't seem to how he dealt with the ghosts of war but protesting that he just hit with such force and that's exactly what i needed to do. and so i'm following his example. because it's only. it's only reasonable that i do than to him as a vietnam veteran who's been in this real care for almost fourteen years it's an honor to pull you my family and my friend and someone that's a. good life you know on. thank you. i'm driving down right now to go turn in all my equipment and so i can get out of the army the army offered me a twenty thousand dollars reenlistment bonus in iraq so there's been one lump sum tax-free twenty thousand dollars after iraq i knew how my loyalties can be abused
6:53 pm
and so while i still feel that my service is honorable and still for other people service is honorable i. could not realist no matter how much money they offered me the shift in numbers that we've seen recently says that it ud be like the rest of the country are starting to grow tired of the war starting to question the war and starting to question bush's leadership of the war and it happened especially almost coinciding with marshall's watch and i don't i don't know how many utahns arsehole himself swayed to the other side it certainly wasn't just the walk but there are tons of other people doing things there's military families speak out in very active in salt lake there's rocky anderson and the norwalk is part of that so it feels really good. to see. the children.
6:54 pm
and. i have to call attention to that dark angel in their midst and you have to be prepared to accept the wrath of the governments force and as long as you're willing to do that and you do it you do everything you possibly can you give them your body you know and then you do it nonviolent they do it lovingly hell i even try to do it with a sense of humor you know it's no big deal searching. nothing's going to change until a guy's coming home and except that the back as soon as guys come home and say you know don't count me on the back because things got change we fix this things will change in a different scrutiny now i. was trying to change things or not i just had to do it i got to do it. i just mean i think it's maybe it's like speed me
6:55 pm
ocean you know. it's you do it you care and you have to make your own stay. but from your own heart. and i still michael and i'm down has made that oppressed she breezily cheese a sickness in store this time. push will bring in our brothers sisters home piper peaks march for peace stand for peace leave. to play a game from. it is a time of hope our time to believe that peace can come that we can and just for that we can change the priorities of our country that we can move in a new and dynamic direction that we can make this an america that we can all be proud of that the sacrifice of our young men and women in iraq a must not be undone by. the only regret. is that i
6:56 pm
didn't do it correctly at least. the sooner the twentieth there the walk. and. ride to finish up i hope it's a good idea i didn't know what to expect when i got involved with the peace we stand here for peace to it so it really renewed my faith in people and humanity and it's really reinforced my patriotism activists have a lot of different reasons for getting involved but in the end it all comes down to this it comes down to the hope that what you're doing to commit the world a better place and they could maybe even save a life. because. if what we're doing could save one person's life and that justifies all the embarrassment all the sacrifice all the pains of public protest. to children. it's all worth it. in that's the whole
6:57 pm
point it's the sincere hope and conviction that nobody else has to do. are you going to do a day. like you say i did step back from a record three months ago. that i was going provide food for the state utah. let me give me a ball to come to the nation's capital and see if i like that for me it really does look like her would make sense the same. until it's clear.
