insides before you even realize and apologies needed necessary the united states in the last thirty forty years appears to be a country operating on a guilty conscience but is too proud is too consumed with patriotic blindness to admit their confront that guilty conscience may ninth just a little over a week and a half away the united states congress will decide whether to confirm or reject president trump's nominee for director of the central intelligence agency jeanne aspel the controversy surrounding her connections to the post nine eleven torture program one of the darkest chapters in recent u.s. history has helped pull back that well maintained veneer of a washington d.c. filled with nothing but good honest patriotic public servants and has an exposed a city split into racked over its guilty conscience some willing to confront the guilt had on while others choose to excuse ignore and even revel in the sins of

torture and abuse and write in time for this epic braley play taking place over how schools nomination is ali ahmadi you may remember him arrested after nine eleven here in the united states for alleged ties to al qaeda declared an enemy combatant by then president george w. bush and then held for thirteen straight years inside the u.s. the only he was the only non u.s. citizen detained outside of guantanamo bay eventually in two thousand and nine he pled guilty to conspiring to provide material support to al qaeda this of course is after he spent six years in solitary confinement despite never never actually being charged with a crime. and now he's adding his voice to the many who claim they were brutally tortured and degraded while in u.s. custody alomari told the guardian quote i do not need apologies i need accountability what they said and did to me was torture. so

the question is will the united states face its very guilty conscience or will geno i'm just following orders hass will become the next director of the c i a let's find out and start watching the hawks thank. goodness. the bottom six. with the like you know that i got. to go. with it thank. you well for one of the watching the hawks i robot and i'm top of the hour and it's going to have to just. chad i don't know just following

orders here have i heard that before where it was and excuse. history but like look i'm just following orders giving you one of those vicious indian burns right now because you know they told me today they told me to. have a it's not my fault i punched you in the face gave an interview it's a terrible excuse and you know when you look at this and laurie's case it's incredible so the u.k. based group cage is supporting him and they have attained and published a dossier containing thirty five thousand documents supporting his allegations that he was tortured on u.s. soil this is on the far away place that receives it this is right here at home in the. it states that changes the game. he was let me give you this longer list that i just want to get your initial reaction to this to he was denied from being able to engage in his religion as a muslim prayer time ritual you know with

a ritual cleansing because he couldn't know were you know which direction he's facing he was threatened with violence against him and his family forced to sleep in this freezing so on a bare metal rock that was too small for him deprived of sleep and socialization with other inmates and repeatedly interrogated using a product is known as dry boarding which is the opposite of the waterboarding so much better than once i hang you like this put dry right whatever in your mouth and duct taping them inside your mouth simulating the fact that you can't breathe yeah it kind of makes it so you can't breathe or swallow or it's actually very dangerous i just i never understand why there is this understanding that it's ok there's this idea that there's this line that well it was for torture well it was for this it wasn't an excuse when you talk to people whether they were you know blow ranking guards at auschwitz or they were in the inner circle i was just following orders

isn't an excuse and on the subject of torture the united states i believe needs to have a very long look at itself but we need to look at that and make amends for it and move in a different direction that's just a fact but i'm not the only person a lot of people in the military say the same thing you talk about people who have been p.o.w.'s have been you know have been through it. right now one hundred retired generals and admirals have written a letter to members of the u.s. senate against house bill being dragged to the letter states quote we devoted our lives to the defense of our country we know that the delegate to our most cherished ideals as a nation is the foundation of our security it would send a terrible signal to confirm as the next director the said. someone who is so intimately involved in this dark chapter of our nation's history you will see all sorts of deep state types all sorts of intelligence community types and i'm out and

say oh no she's great oh no ignore the only woman on the series is the rest of her work was good that was just a bad time for women we also blamed it on her boss oh yes it's always someone else's fault to the other one was that c.b.s. news obtained the classified two thousand and eleven. memorandum that's supposed to clear a house full of all her wrongdoing. which you know aside from big part of the order was destroying controversial videotapes of showing detainees being interrogated. so what's interesting is the memo really lays the blame at her boss and it was i have no fault have with the performance of ms haskell i have concluded that she acted appropriately in her role as mr maher is chief of staff so here's the deal sheen keeps saying she did nothing wrong her defenders keep saying she did nothing wrong but they're also saying but but even though she didn't do anything wrong it's this other guy's fault that she did nothing wrong that's the truly saddest part about it you know and when you go back even though i go and that's

what's so interesting that omar is case kind of came out of this is that when you go back to omari you know and they say oh he pleaded guilty he actually says quote everything in the plea bargain has to do with al qaeda and terrorism hundred percent false it's just out from you know one for you says my battery was up one percent let's let's reverse this trend let's no longer torture and let's face this deal that we all feel as part of american society for allowing that to happen let's face it head on and try to change it. according to the anxiety and depression society anxiety disorders affect one in eight children while eighty percent of kids with diagnosable anxiety disorder are not receiving treatment couple that with the fact that since january first of twenty a teen. there were over twenty school related shootings in which teenagers were either injured or killed then parklane florida school shooting on feb fourteenth at the marjorie stoneman douglas high school that took the lives of fourteen students

and three adult members of staff in the aftermath there were marches and calls from the teen community to do something anything many wonder why these teens were so interested in getting involved now what was the answer was. they were scared in the days following the parklane school shooting pew research conducted a poll of u.s. teens ages thirteen to seventeen and parents with children in the same age range what they found was that of the seven hundred forty three teens polled a full fifty seven percent of them said that they were very or somewhat worried the school shooting could happen at their school which broke down to sixty four percent of girls and fifty one percent of boys now when you break that further down by ray's pew research found that fifty one percent of white students were very or somewhat worried while sixty percent of black students and a massive seventy three percent of hispanic students were afraid a school shooting would happen at their school which explains why black teens were the least likely to believe arming teachers would be effective seawall forty four

percent of white teens thought arming teachers would work only twenty three percent of black students agreed and one seventy nine percent of black students felt betting assault weapons would be affective only fifty nine percent of white teenagers thought so illuminating not only the differences for support of the second amendment by generation but by race so when it comes to policies that focused on mental health and permitting gun ownership they were almost unequivocal in their support of it showing eighty six percent of respondents believe banning those with mental illness from owning firearms would be very or somewhat effective at preventing school shootings but as many as this fear rational are these teens being overly emotional and anxious when. search ask the parents too and what they found out was even more sad and shocking it turns out that while a solid fifty three percent of parents making more than seventy five thousand dollars per year were very or somewhat worried that

a shooting could happen at their kids' school a whopping eighty two percent of families making less than thirty thousand dollars a year were as worried what does that tell us well that i'm massive section of teens walking into schools these days are living with a debilitating anxiety fear and depression the put them all at higher risk than their peers to perform poorly in school miss out on important social experiences and engage in substance abuse and what we are doing is very little to mitigate the real fear that they could be shot at school maybe it's time that after years of millennial and teen bashing and blaming it just be time to actually think of the kids. wallace how could we think of the kids they're just kids they don't know how to think for themselves i mean we can't even trust them to be able to choose their own political beliefs or have their own feelings and it's all m.t.v.'s fault it's all the guns fault everything else is yes now it's absolutely ridiculous i totally

sympathize with these kids and those numbers back i mean you're see that's because they're scared and they have a right to be and they're already at a point where teens are already at such a risk you know this they're young if this is you know the days of social media which make bullying so much more efficient to us while we have all of these issues the idea that it wouldn't that this wouldn't all hit them whether even if we had a perfectly mentally whole thing team population these kinds of violent things have an effect but i think what you notice in these numbers is that the other forms of violence that have that the happening in the world are affecting teens of color so black and hispanic teens are much more afraid of people in power getting more guns they're much more afraid of being a victim of it there are less likely like you said to have teachers because what do you know people in power ten we've watched it with police violence with everything

that they're the ones that end up on the receiving end it's not right and you know it's interesting too you know pharmaceutical companies are doing backflips over these numbers zero to zero fifty percent of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin at fourteen and now you have the generation of kids developing mental illness at a younger age because of school shootings and because of the society they're going up in. big pharma so this is great news for us certainly you know let's throw some more drugs at these kids rather than actually try to help them cope and find the necessary you know tools they need to get over like this kind of p.t.s.d. you know when we comes to gun violence the one thing we really have to understand is that according to the centers for disease control and prevention you have twenty seven hundred children and teens ages zero to nineteen are shot and killed and over fourteen thousand more show. injured every year so that's an average of forty seven american children and teens shot every day either through accidents or that so we do have to think of the kids that we do all right everybody as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the facebook and twitter your poll shows that are coming up with bring you the second

half of those delve into the piles of the j.f.k. assassination with researchers offer jim the huge ego state to. transform policy could be described as double speak the president doesn't have a defined policy approach goals are difficult to discern is this what the art of the deal is transform policy making america great again the world safer. palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos believe this if you like to believe this is michael but

he is going to have to study all media if you do you know john you tell me you should be the only palestinian gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under that vision know when to do this. and that is all of that is just this lady of the mossad that you have i don't know if you can do you mean it doesn't seem to do more than it was last time presumably. with president trump's puzzling yet not entirely shocking decision this week to once again delay the release of a trove of classified files on the j.f.k. assassination many historians and conspiracy theorists alike are left justifiably wondering with fifty five years now gone by what is there to hide what possible

information could there be that if we were really a police would cause more damage to national security than the unabated speculation that has been allowed to run rampant in the absence of legitimate facts and evidence to discuss all that marshawn stone was joined earlier by historian jim de eugenia author of the j.f.k. assassination the evidence today one of the episodes that you describe a little bit in your book about the chicago assassination attempt is interesting because people do forget there was this this attempt on the on campus like a few weeks prior to dallas in chicago and the fall guy again was sort of an alleged communist with a marine background i believe or some kind of military background so ok trouble a bit of what that operation looked like and how it was foiled i'm really glad you brought that up because that's another thing that the mainstream media never brings up. the successful attempt to kill j.f.k. in dallas was preceded by an unsuccessful attempt to kill j.f.k.

in chicago and this was i think the first week of november right in which. there was an f.b.i. warning that hoover gave to the secret service that there would be an attempt to kill kennedy in chicago i think the date was november the second and you're exactly right the outline of the plot was very similar to what happened in dallas the patsy in chicago was a former marine who had trained with cuban exiles all right the design of the actual sas nation is south of was for the motorcade to go by a warehouse building in chicago. and where this particular patsy was placed on the

third floor after it exited from a freeway on ramp the gunmen as far as we know from this were to be they resembled the description was that they were hispanic or cubans so in other words in other words if there would have been no cover up about the chicago plot the attempt to kill kennedy in chicago very likely the dallas plot would not have been successful because there were so many elements of the chicago plot. that resembled the dallas plot ok that the secret service could not have missed those earmarks all right and they would have either changed their route or pool oswald off of the route ok before it happened that's a very very important piece of information sean that you just don't hear about in the mainstream press in america and it's really you know

a shame because in addition to telling us how close the design was in chicago it tells us that somebody some force was hunting kennedy in the fall of one thousand nine hundred sixty three and they were determined to get him. and was there the possibility that oswald had informed as f.b.i. handler about the plot of chicago or who do you think ultimately and that's that's a that's a distinct possibility because in the the best article i've ever read about this many years ago in the seventy's the writer a man named edwin bloch said that the code name for the informant to the f.b.i. was leak so of course that leaves the door open that it might have been oswald because we know from all the declassified files we value

information that oswald was an f.b.i. informant so that's a very important point i'm with which i'm glad you brought up. so let me ask you this question because you have to move vincent bugliosi pretty hard in the book in trying to basically assess and re-evaluate his definitive tome as he's called you know is this reclaiming history is supposed to be the definitive case of the assassination so you have to do v.o.c. and it's interesting you find some some things in his own past because but we'll see was renowned as a prosecutor for the manson case right trying that and trying manson but you find in your book that he actually may have protected certain elements and ignored evidence in his prosecution so what if you've got a bit of what you discovered about his his history as a prosecutor well what you're talking about in the so-called manson case which bugliosi called helter skelter in his book.

if if people recall bugliosi tried to say in that book that. the idea behind the tate la bianca murders was that he was going to cause manson was going to cause aris war ok throughout the united states right by trying to blame these things on african-americans the more i looked into that case the more i looked into that case the more i came to the conclusion that bugliosi was either wrong or he was hiding something about that case and i came to the conclusion that number one unlike what bugliosi said in his book. that the the assailants never knew the victims i believe that's wrong ok i believe that

manson did know. and he i i actually j.c. bring and. probably. another person who was living at the house that night. and he might have even been introduced to sharon tate there's some evidence of that ok but i believe the reason they knew each other i put together this. music because manson was a musician all right he actually had a couple of songs he wrote for the beach boys he actually knew the beach boys all right and that also a drug mill you that manson was was dealing drugs ok from various different sources. and that very likely i believe ok was the reasoning behind the actual murders that night all right this is something that bugliosi completely ignored in his book i was kind of shocked when i

discovered this but if you look at the los angeles police department reports within like three days of the discovery of the murders they had been working on this drug angle and they had come to the conclusion that this is the most likely motive for the actual homicides but you won't see any of that in helter skelter all right and so i will i believe that what bugliosi actually presented in court was a very much censored ok a very much for shortened picture of what actually really happened and i go into that in about the first three chapters of the book. you know and i came to the conclusion that bugliosi is reputation which was so much based on that case was very much overrated and very much distorted you know and that's that's

how i decided to actually open the book. so ultimately do you think you mentioned earlier about hollywood's portrayal of kennedy obviously post j.f.k. get things like park land most recently get c.n.n. doing specials all the time on the kennedys you have even the movie bobby which was you know as the business film and he said i don't want to be treated the way oliver stone was by alleging that robert kennedy was assassinated misestimated by a conspiracy so do you think that ultimately it's the fact that these people in hollywood and the media are basically being intimidated by something that there is a fear factor that's driving this this interpretation or do you think that they are you know just sold i mean but you mentioned he's past them looking at his history as well as the others like hanks and spielberg and others who seem to have bought more into the official line on history what do you think is motivating that idea

a league of interpretation i actually believe that ever since at the very least the fiftieth anniversary which was there seemed to be a kind of orchestrated idea to keep all the critics out of the media ok i think that there's been more or less a kind of media agreement in the united states that we're going to make it harder than the hack for those people to get on ok because we don't want any more this controversy about the g. of k. case and let me give you a specific example of that. few months ago there was a mock trial in houston and there was a dinner hosted by alec baldwin. who ever since you know trump ended the news alec baldwin has probably been the hottest actor there is on television right and so he said that at the fiftieth anniversary

he had proposed a program on the j.f.k. case all right from. a critical point of view and he had actually pitched it. to the guys at n.b.c. and so we are with alec bottom was also in that show thirty rock so he had a track record as an actor and you know most you do now and most people live in l.a. like i do know that you know it's much easier to get a program approved if you have a big name that if you don't have anything all right it's just a kind of law of the land well they told him that they had more or less. we have kind of come to a settlement with the official story in the j.f.k. case so we're not going to rock the boat on that. now i don't know how much better

reverence you need than that ok here you have this red hot actor. comedy this comedy actor ok goes in tries to pitch a show and he basically gets the door shut in his face so that's what i think largely has happened. loneliness and isolation can increase the risk of stroke by thirty two percent hard disease by twenty nine percent a host of other diseases which is why those forced by their health to be isolated need to feel like part of the community that's why the everton football club of liverpool have to fourteen year old jack mcalinden become the world's first virtual match stopped jack was unable to attend the game in person due to health issues that keep him in a wheelchair and requires constant oxygen treatments however ted and the norwegian company know isolation designed is specific. that would allow jack and others like

him to be able to feel like they're attending these social occasions through the device says microphone camera and speaker and game day was amazing with the robot meant that jack was able to meet players talk with them take the tunnel in give a stadium which held thirty thousand people and even tagged along with the coach at the end of the game press conference all from home. at the moment but legs we had a guy like when technology is used for good like getting you know kids first have perspective and they get it because they like that's brilliant all right i hope we made your day because this is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we're told we love this stuff so i tell you all i love you i am sorry robot i'm tired of all the people are watching those hawks another great day and night everybody. goes to put the stimulus and the israelis need. to give up. in the

news you know he dreams of getting greedy and the other just think you know this thing here and eventually really has to find ways of living side by side peaceful. means. you know. you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub you're going to walk into excitement it's that not knowing that's where the adrenalin much comes from. and you can easily move by definition and the extremes will probably support. the violence is a part and it's almost a schizophrenia gang culture where you can do all these things and behave like badly.

important people of course colorful all possible more so for the last. honest man infirmed. more or less in the start. of a broader way and not by figure out really did a poll not going to get. the meaning in these music at least if you don't involve this constantly evolving. i. still.
