and listened to the tapes from that day and actually concluded that there was a fourth shot right abbiethis is very very interesting the house in the one nine hundred seventy s. a decade after the kennedy assassination conducted extensive inquiries the house select committee on assassinations in its final report actually concluded a probable conspiracy in kennedy's death we believe. the man with the umbrella this is something that i didn't even know about until today really fascinating that a person to be standing out in the sunlight dressed in all black holding an opening what is the significance of this we just did a story on that recently on who well what we were interested in was that there was a man who was seriously. pumping an umbrella at the exact moment that the shots rang out on a sunny day right next to kennedy's car we noticed how the mainstream media particularly new york times had sort of pooh poohed that and said that it was just a man with some crazy theory and he was trying to signal kennedy that seemed improbable and so what we think is it was any of a number of things

joining me now on march madness sideline reporters, abby huntsman and dana milbank. you called this one. conservatives group therapy session. how's the soul searching going? >> they are still searching, reverend. they haven't come up with much. if this was a papal conclave, there would be only black smoke. they are still severaling farch answers, what the idea should be, who should be delivering these ideas. but there's really a lot of back biting and squirmishing going on there and they are struggling to find out what is going up here. there's a lot of finger pointing and blame going on. >> now, abby, we've been having some fun but seriously, listen to rick santorum today. listen to this. >> face it. the left can always promise more stuff. and make it sound like they care more because they make it easier for providing stuff for them through programs, paid for by somebody else's money. >> you know, abby, this is the week we meet the man that filmed and brought out the 47% speech and they are still talking about makers and takers? >> you know, i think santorum wins th

abby and debra, great to have you both and when you hear the story dr.it's bone chilling. are you surprised by the practices described in his trial? >> not surprised at all. it's something that i've seen year after year and it's very depressing, but it's, no, i'm not surprised. surprised that the babies are killed like that, yes, but i'm not surprised that he was doing that in his office. >> mike: you saw things similar to that when you were in the industry? >> yes, sir, i was not only did i see, i was actually there in the o-r assisting. >> abby, you've been here before and we've talked about what you saw as a turning point. were you advised by what you saw here? >> well, i think the heinous nature of what was taking place to these women and children is of course shocking and it should be shocking to anyone, but to know that it was taking place inside of an abortion clinic, no, i can't say that i was shocked to hear that. these abortionists will pretty much do anything for a paycheck and you know, gosnell was charging 4, 5, 6,000 for taking the lives of

you guys walking and breaking the set i'm abby martin so while the supreme court was in its second day of oral arguments around gay marriage today the justice is always also sent down a unanimous really in favor of rights for another group of individuals prisoners that's right in the case of millbrook versus the western justices ruled that the federal government cannot be sued over prisoner abuse claims against their guards it's not time prisoners had some rights considering the u.s. house is one point six million adults in state and federal institutions around the country of course we can't forget that the u.s. has only five percent of the population of the world that holds a quarter of the world's prisoners so guys this is a good move by the highest courts of the land so let's hope that they make the right decision when it comes to same sex marriage two on that note let's break the set. a little bit more of the good of you cover she's going to be like i'm trying. to. imagine this scenario you're late to work on a beautiful september morning and just as you get there you see smoke bil

joining me now is angela and abby huntsman. both for coming on this show. >> thank you, rev. >> angie, why are we seeing a shift on these issues? >> well, it's political expediency as the country continues to shift demographically, as the country continues to evolve like the president, you're going to continue to see a change in the gop's politics. they can't afford to be as conservative and right leaning as they once were. >> abby, your dad took grief for taking some positions. now i see rand paul defending his stance on immigration, of all places, fox news. take a listen. >> people like coulter and limbaugh say that you are being suckered. >> what we have now is de-facto amnesty. here's another news flash. we haven't been too competitive in the last two national elections. >> what do you say when you hear rand paul saying something like that, abby? >> by dad doesn't sound all too crazy anymore, does he, rev? but look, these are going to be the issues that dominate the 2014, 2016 election cycle. so i mean, it's no surprise rep

abc's abbie boudreau has that story for us. >> reporter: a california woman says she got a real eye opener this weekend when she discovered that her boyfriend admitted to poisoning her with visine. police say 27-year-old shayne carpenter bragged to his buddies about spiking his girlfriend's drink with the eye drops after an argument hoping to induce the stomach churning effects of drinking the drops. >> she found some texts that made some reference to if she's going to be talking crap then she's going to be crapping. >> reporter: but the alleged prank turned dangerous. his girlfriend falling so ill she ended up in the hospital. carpenter confessed to police who hauled him off to jail. then ingested eye drops can cause dangerous side effects like blurred vision, respiratory failure, seizures and vomiting. >> eye drops. >> reporter: in the movie "wedding crashers," bradley cooper's character was unknowingly poisoned at the dinner table and later paid the painful price. and in real life intentional

abc's abbie boudreau has her story. ♪ >> reporter: at 308 pounds, jen larson dreamed about getting skinny>> i fantasized about it, yeah. it's the fairy tale of weight loss. you lose the weight and you're beautiful and you're happy. >> reporter: in her pursuit of happiness, she lost a staggering 180 pounds. larson says she's battled weight problems since childhood and tried just about every diet but when nothing worked, she turned to bariatric surgery. >> i saw the before and after photos and i leapt into it. i had tunnel vision. all i could see was this idea of me being thin. >> reporter: that's exactly what happened. did you find yourself becoming more obsessed with your weight when you were thin? >> absolutely. you know, being thin didn't make me happy. i'm still looking in the mirror and still hating what i see and how is this even possible? >> reporter: dr. bethany marshall says many people believe losing weight will solve their problems. >> obese people live with the

greetings everyone welcome to breaking the set my name is many rock below i'm filling in for abby martin while she's out of the studio you know this morning i was shocked and honestly disgusted to read about a couple of people who actually benefited financially from the sandy hook shooting in the days following the massacre that left twenty eight dead in two injured at a small connecticut elementary school two new york hedge funds were quick to seize on the opportunity to profit from the tragedy the group used the predictable reaction from the public which equates a bloody shooting to fear that guns are going to get taken away which in turn leads to a spike in gun sales so just this morning sparrow media named and shamed the hedge fund managers responsible for the purchases as jeffrey altman and robert bishop each of them thought of millions of shares in gun stocks and to supporting that the push from congress for new gun regulations would create a fabricated demand for firearms turning one of the most tragic mass shootings in american history into mere profits which should be really be

thank you abby it's a pleasure to be on a big fan of the show so you're working for the software development company in two thousand responsible for the good in them their biggest client you then found out of a company you're working for was stealing money a lot graham what exactly is it that you uncovered richard with this software. well i mean what you're talking about is ranging over ten years of experience so there's a specific instance where you mention at the end that kind of came around in two thousand and three the nine eleven whistle blowing came around in two thousand and two thousand won after the events of nine eleven and i noticed that there was insider trading on not only to the airlines but to the clients that we were specifically providing with a cutting edge brand of software that allowed them in later years to take advantage of many clients around the world so it was a slow incremental me waking up to the naive and say of what i had been groomed to believe through public schooling and college to the way that the corporate world really works and that led to my retirement in

business models of the big banks the so-called too big to fail banks and let me add something else abby is that this rise in bitcoin shows you the real effects of the money printing that's going on at the federal reserve bank you know ben bernanke in his testimony before congress will say well we don't see any inflation even though his c.p.i. number that they use to gauge inflation is not really representative of a true basket of goods that the average american might experience the average american is experiencing eight to ten percent inflation and they're wondering why would the federal reserve lie like that so there's a lot of problems with the federal reserve is saying and this is drawing attention to bitcoin which is now a four hundred million dollar market and it has room to become one two five ten percent. of the global forex market so that bitcoin price which last year was at four dollars which is currently trading almost at fifty dollars if it captures ten percent of the global market you can see it going straining for one hundred thousand dollars a bit going to million dollars

their payroll kind of seems like they're not really helping that argument there what do you think abby no i mean is this whole is you have agency that's kind of regulating commercial finances and then a woman from the agency going to work on the board of g.e. which pays very little in taxes it's just this whole industry like you said i mean when there are myriad the things that they were doing in washington and then exerting that influence in the private sector and of course these people aren't going away they're going to use that influence from the private sector and in turn influence washington back they have their friends in high places the revolving door is going to keep spinning it is astounding when you break it down it really never seen anything that was building or invent and you had mentioned another name earlier on but this is not rare this revolving door we just kind of highlighted of a few instances here but this seems to be not rare at all nor it isn't rare at all and we do know that you know politicians are supposed to be somebody that interest the the public arena for a

government policy and this is something citizens should be concerned about earlier i was joined by abby martin host of r t is breaking the sudden argue correspondent ivan lopez i first asked at what point should we be concerned about former government officials and what they are doing in the private sector. well i think we should be concerned once they can see a complete connection between the things that they were to finding in the public office and if it affects what they're doing in the private sector so that's the really the parts there's one person in particular that you could post to potentially make this argument against retired senator senator ben nelson he's actually just announced he'll be working for two private firms the first is agenda global and the second is he'll be the c.e.o. of the national association for insurance commissioners now the reason this is important is because he actually played an instrumental role in obamacare in the creation of it and the second group that i mentioned actually would not exist if it wasn't for obamacare so you can see his public decision

abbie cornish riveting film.'re australian. >> aussie, yes. >> you had to deal with the southern south texas accent. you speak spanish. was it hard, was it easy? >> considering i have split personalities, it wasn't too difficult. >> that explains it. >> tripolar. that's why david cast me. he met me and he was like you're crazy, awesome. >> tell us about -- >> crazy, tick, it's underneath clowning. >> ashley coulton you start off in the movie disliking her, she's not a good mother and a hot mess and as the movie goes forward it's not just about trafficking immigrants across the border but as her growth as a mom. >> there's this film in this story is beautiful for many reasons because first of all we're addressing a political issue which is very relevant and has been very relevant for a long time, america, mexico, the border, what's happening at the border, the divide, and but this story is also told in an intimate scales the story of a young texan mother who lost her son to the welfare system trying to get her lif

we have gotten a nice ride out in terms of abby" generating new donors. the viewership has been extraordinary. i was talking with some of the cast not too long ago,li

i'll make time because, abby, i was once like you. wide-eyed, naive.idn't know the first thing about a subject as fundamental as, uh... risk management. i'm not familiar with that. you'll have to explain it to me. i'll tell you what. why don't you read this book, and let's just see if you... can explain it to me. all right! ok. hey, jerry. oh, hey, bania. did you hear what happened? the mentor saw my act. she dumped me. ah, that's a tough one. maybe she's right. maybe i am a complete hack. i'm the absolute worst. the worst, jerry. well, it's just that you got so many things with the milk. you got that bosco bit then you got your nestles quik bit by the time you get to ovaltine... think you can give me a hand with my material? hey. you still need a cook? oh, yeah. come on in, frank. you got treifuh? uh, kavalon. no! follow me! oh, yeah. ey-yay! try that. ahem. "why do they call it ovaltine? "the mug is round. "the jar is round. they should call it roundtine." that's gold, jerry! gold! let's just replace "hail of shrapnel..." and "scar tissue..." with "s

that we flung hunger strike as guantanamo bay's also the focus of breaking the set here on our tape abby martin challenges the idea some journalist expressed that life is not so bad at the detention center after all and detainees should be grateful not protesting well here's a taste of what's to come later this hour. i forgot to mention one thing about the guantanamo bay hunger strike going on how damn good the prisoners have it there are in a robert johnson military defense editor at business insider the hunger strike is not only being overhyped but get mo is apparently more like a club med than it is a prison about this headline it is the other side of the get most strike detainees are treated absurdly well as absurdly well delicious meals video games for everyone's sports then well life what more could these prisoners possibly want maybe the freedom to see their families and have a normal life outside of a prison cell especially since a majority of already been cleared for release having been declared not guilty and just today it came out that as a punishment for the strike some of th

trial taking place in new york city while there abby martin had a chance to sit down with thomas drake a former n.s.a. employee and whistleblower the first i asked him why he cares about the n.b.a. take a look this is just another step since the post nine eleven or. another step in the. erosion of the us constitution and the rise of not just enough security state but secret government. executed through through for yacht executive rule. when you came out as a whistle blower and you were prosecuted for it and targeted i mean how did it feel to have the same establishment that you had dedicated so much of your life working for come down on you know total betrayal. is important no i took an oath four times the sword in the constitution that oath was not was not an oath to the president it was not an oath it was not an oath of secrecy it was not a to end our security agency it was really not an oath to look the other way when the government itself commits massive fraud waste and abuse and engages itself in wrongdoing illegality and that's precisely what the government did after nine eleven

what's going on guys i'm abby martin and this is breaking with that so as we know john brennan has just been sworn in as the new director of the cia like every other presidential appointee running out to decide what documents he would use for his oath according to the.

happy monday guys i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so it is surprising actually no it was enough because of the surprise it all it's a very un surprising update on the keystone pipeline debate the state department has just released a new report assessing the environmental impact of the pipeline according to them transporting tar sands oil through america isn't dangerous and awful to the environment interesting because tar sand oil is one of the dirtiest and most carbon intensive of all the false hope fuels so let's get real this is ministration doesn't care about how the pipeline will tarnish the environment and even worse they're not worried in the least about what kind of effect this will have on human health it all comes down to big oil money folks and sadly unlike the voice of the people it's this kind of dirty money that really drives the empty suits in washington to move and that's what it's all about and that's why i'm breaking the set. right now i'd like to shift focus and explore an interesting topic religion and how religious fundamentalism might shape person's v

just ahead for you abby martin on the fight. to find faith in the u.s. . there was a time in america when buses were officially segregated and today if they tried to resegregate the wall next to there would be outrage throughout the usa every t.v. channel and newspaper so segregation in america was wrong but no america funding segregation no for via foreign aid seems to be a ok and jim dandy arab language leaflets have been spread around west bank in palestinian areas asking residents to start using special bus lines to put palestinians on separate bus lines were first announced in november of two thousand and twelve after some complaints by jewish settlers of trouble on the buses between passengers of different ethnicities in regards to the special bus lines it's really human rights groups but so i'm said the attempt. as a polling and the current arguments about security needs an overcrowding must not be allowed to camouflage blatant racism you know when south africa had apartheid they were slammed with sanctions including from the us but if you're israel

will be back with morphine about half an hour from now in the meantime it's breaking the set with abby martin after this short break. he told language. programs in documentaries in arabic in school here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about six of the c.r.p. interviews intriguing story for you to. see in trying. to find out more visit arabic t.v. it's called. the for. you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so many i mean. i know that i'm sitting seems really really messed up. and we're all very so closely. and the. worst you're going to. find out sort of a. radio guy and pull up a bale of minutes from a quick thing i want to quote for a budget because you've never seen anything like this i'm told. jojo everyone this is breaking the set and i'm your host abby martin so in case you haven't heard venezuela's president hugo chavez has just died after two new. long battle with cancer will definitely cover his legacy tomorrow on the show but until then let's talk about an injustice going on within ou

what's going on guys i'm abby martin in the spray can set off you flown at all since nine eleven and you probably know that the airport experience is essentially hell on earth first it was our shoes then it was the liquids hell even bands snow globes after twelve years of harassment and dehumanizing screening methods all to protect us from the big bad terrorists guess what now we're being told that we can start bringing home the plane that's right starting april twenty fifth of this year will be allowed to carry the naive as you see here in addition to clubs and bats i guess they just realize that with these items banned were no safer than we were before and don't even get me started on the radioactive naked body scanners that presented us with more danger than safety in two thousand and ten scientists determined that airport scanners are just as likely to kill you via cancer as a terrorist blowing up your plane. but perhaps it's even more absurd than this is another recent t.s.a. announcement that has come out in the wake of the sequestration despite concerns that imminent budget cu

up ahead breaking the set with abby martin stay with us. a u.n. investigator been emerson has decided to not let the sins of the recent past go he's demanding that the u.s. government release documents about the cia's program for addition and secret detention of suspected terrorists everson believes that there is now credible evidence that shows that cia black sites were used to extradite suspected terrorists with neither charges nor access to a lawyer you know nothing says protect a democracy like snagging people in foreign countries even charging them with a crime this huge investigator may have good intentions but the thing is that no matter how much he and his u.n. pals urge the u.s. to prosecute officials connect with torture or expose classified information they really have no power to do anything if you haven't noticed the un is very happy to section and punish certain countries bernie if you out there i even have to think that they will sanction the usa or send a peacekeeping mission to stop the human rights violators in washington not a c

and next to washington where abby martin takes her no holds barred look at what's happening stateside and around the globe after a short break stay with. the month before the oscars and what annoys you with their predictions and the most after everyone complains about the results but it is a big talked about much as the few hundred people who gathered to protest the glamour filled awards show what protests they are oscars you ask. well although the film life of pi won the oscar for best visual effects effects to you that made the movie look so amazing were them and hughes has filed for bankruptcy quickly after the film's release you know that seems like a bit of a discrepancy i mean the group that made the best visual effects in the world in two thousand and thirteen is flat broke how can that be this reminds me of how the lead creators of call of duty modern warfare two were let go directly after the release of the game which to date is the eighth highest grossing video game of all time this was done supposedly to dodge paying them the royalties that they you know earned through hard

but either way, it's either by the state or federal. >> final word with abby.ould you imagine a situation in 2016 where the republican candidate who takes on whoever the democratic candidate is, would be anti same-sex marriage? >> absolutely. we've seen this issue evolve very quickly over the past ten years. marjorie mentioned the public support for it. we see especially the young generation, the millennials, 18-29. 81% now support gay marriage. more than 50% of the country now supports gay marriage. that's just where we're at. >> can you imagine a republican candidate who didn't support same-sex marriage in 2016? >> it would be -- i don't think they could actually win a general election. is my answer to that. and so i would say to ben -- >> ben, i'm going to leave you with the words "i disagree" and we'll bring you back another time to continue disagreeing almost everybody we put you on with. but we'll leave it there for now. thank you, ben, thank you marjorie, thank you, abby. i like this panel. this works for me. beauties and the beast. >>> next, the team ge

from the carriage also my colleague marina joshie will behave next or that abby martin looks at the plight of guantanamo detainees and their treatment not just at the hands of the prison guards but the media as well that's in breaking the set. you live on one hundred thirty three possible so food i should try it because you know how fabulous and lucky i got so many i mean. i know that i'm still really messed up. in the old story so actually. it's. worse for the little thing the white house says of the. radio guy for a minute. what. did you never seen anything like this until. the bell on abbey martin and this is breaking the set so i forgot to mention one thing about the guantanamo bay hunger strike going on how damn good the prisoners have at their help or in a robert johnson military defense editor and business insider the hunger strike is not only been overhyped but get mo is apparently more like a club med than it is a prison about this headline of his the other side of the get most strike detainees are treated absurdly well has absurdly well delicious meals video games for everyone's

what's good of focus on abby martin and this is breaking this that well the head of u.s. southern command general john kelly has told congress that the guantanamo prison needs a major overhaul to the tune of one hundred seventy million dollars that's right what was supposed to be a temporary detention facility one that president obama promised with all his heart to close down the perilous falling apart kelly says the living conditions that get mail are close to squalor wait he can't possibly be referring to the beach front portion of the camp that guards frequent right maybe it's because their golf course i was only nine holes instead of eighteen. did anyone consider asking how bad the conditions are for the actual prisoners many of which you have been detained three years now with no charge or trial how full bloom have already been declared innocent but can't be released you know what general if you're so concerned about the living conditions of your troops maybe shouldn't invest your lobbying efforts to close the gulag instead of scavenging in taxpayer dollars to keep i

yo yo yo yo everyone this is breaking the set and i'm your host abby martin so in case you haven't heard venezuela's president hugo chavez has just died after two year long battle with cancer will definitely cover his legacy tomorrow on the show but until then let's talk about an injustice going on within our own country the fact that n.y.p.d. has taken surveillance to a whole other level just recently the department of police has implemented a new program to stalk and harass teenagers who might be susceptible to criminal activity the expense of course of us taxpayers so are they doing this not only are they spending hours every day making fake profiles to monitor troubled teens they're also dropping in on kids at their homes driving up on them in their neighborhoods and bright mean their families with gifts but according to the n.y.p.d. it's just their novel approach to deter juvenile robbers it's called the juvenile robbery intervention program or jay rip and it encompasses. force interventions and outreach among many other bizarre pre-crime police tactics and a statement about the pro
