does that make a difference?ferc >> i don't think in this case is does, because of the amount of information, the damage that was done. diplomatic cables were leaked,e, information from sources wasours leaked and also miss manning atg the time who was an active dutyy soldier.ie so the sentence i believe waselw appropriate. >> let's dig deeper into this julian assange the founder ofour wikileaks. he had tweeted last week i wk believe that he would turnur himself in should chelsea manning her sentence be commuted.mm. hasn't quite said he would.ui but is there a problemte s now,w should julian assange turn himself in and prosecuting him p given that chelsea man pog's sense tense is being commutedted can he in essence go free, assange?assae >> we have the new>> we have thw administration coming in on fridayration. so i don't think that's likely l that he'll go free. free. i think he'll make that argument, and i think he had hed hoped this was going to happen p lot earlier than two or three oe days before the newhe n administration comes in. >> general james cart write ther

pardoned which essence means his record gets wiped clean in a i very lay person's term.er what is the bigger picture herer with general cart right?ht >> bigger picture that he gets e what we call the officer offer discount. i mean the fact that, you know,k he's general officer, and and because of his position he got a pardon because of that? as whew you have a lower enlistednlis soldier committing the same typt of crime and they have the bookb thrown at them. t i think that's the bigger issuee and bigger concern from militarr ice ice side. >> president obama the most commutations and pardons of anya president at least through the last 12 presidents.sidents. it's raising eyebrows.ow should it? or is this perfectlt within his right? >> perfectly within his right. h i mean, he does have a highig number as the president that iss within his right. >> i understand that more mor pardons expected on thursday.te. are you hearing the same thing? >> absolutely. >> any big names that you mightt think might be on that list? >> potentially hillary clinton.i >> oh that is a big one.

zone. ended up doing work there over a number of years and i began to appreciate security.ur was sensitive to the effects off war in away high not been beforr and also sensitive to the effect of war on warriors as well ass civilians. started a foundation that was headed by retired major generall from the us army he had worked d in liberia for two years post retirement. spent a lot of time with him.h m a lot of time with other veterans talking about thingshig and it really educated me in aen way that i had not been before b and so i just became more me sensitive to those experiences. last february, i was coming bacc from colorado, i saw a gentlemam in the airport in a wheelchairei triple amputee had all his badges on.n. happened to be african-americana he recognized me from someromom movies and we talked and he tall about folks that had come to see

him at walter reed and i asked myself, you know why why wasn't' i doing that? so, i ended up doingn event around ptsd where we take greek mythology and do d stage readings of these stories, stories of hercules, fors, f example, who goes on, comes back from war and in rage and killsns his children.dre. we use those as an examinationxi of ptsd and an opportunity tonio have a larger conversation,ion, contemporary conversation arounn the subject and so happened toao be at an event that we did in i d.c. some folks from the dod,od, and i asked if i can get more deeply involved and one thing led to another.led to and i ended up being puttingting contact with the woman in fema race is a who's been runningin writers workshop out at fort belvoir and walter reed withd w active service members andemberd veterans who are facing some challenges relative to their the experiences.pe >> when you go tonight again the event is free you hav

e serve a spot. what do you see? >> well, we've got -- it's obviously, you know, it's is focused on the service members,s but as well they're local artiss who's will come and add their input to it local dancer named tiffany carson a local cellistel named white told who has been a part of the workshop for couplel of years now. n. friend of mine whose a 59 lynn n any of from the met in new york will come down to add somethingt to -- add some more flavor to ii and we also have a group off syrian refugees who have usedse similar prop to write poetry ass well there who have --, who wilw be present through a video and so they'll blend together theird stories with the stories of thee service members and because one of the things that we want toatt examine is that ptsd is really universal, right? some of theee soldiers are suffering fromro combat related trauma. tum but there are others related tot bouts with cancer or sexual as

they wanted a million dollars. and trump said no way because he wants to use any leftover moneyy for donations to charities.riti so most of people that are tt a performing are doing it for fref or at a very very very reducedyd rate than normal. >> gary, any indication, f we'l' see what happens.. >> who the performer was? >> no.>> you know i think there were ther rumors but we're not -- we're -' not saying as of now.f now. i don't think we want to -- to [ laughter ] we want to put a target on themm anything.. >> all the talk before was if trump won the presidency thisnc lavish over the top and so andoa he's the very one that is saying let's keep it on below lowlow budget so we can help those inpi need. a little bit of irony in that, , right? >> of course.cou to be honest everybody else hash been saying it was going to be this huge lavish over the top thing.g trump said from the beginning he didn't want it to be a huge fanfare with a list celebritiesl he wanted to be about the actuaa event and he seems to bes be sticking to that.that >>
