alex: well, that's part of the story of "the forever prisoner."h a kind of excruciating legal exercise, in which they use the rationale, or the rationalization, that because we do these things to our own people, how bad could it be? because indeed, we do waterboard some of our soldiers, to show them what might be in store for them if they're captured by a terrible regime. but those are exercises, and furthermore, these techniques almost always result, not in people telling you what is the truth, but they tell you exactly what it is that they think you want to hear. amna: so the department of justice essentially gives the green light to james mitchell and a team of cia interrogators, who are holding abu zubaydah. what happens next? what does that mean for his interrogations? alex: it means that they engage in these techniques, including waterboarding, and he's waterboarded 83 times in the course of a few weeks. and indeed, at one point he dies. he literally stops breathing and has to be revived, brought back. and at one point, james mitchell, who,

alex: well, first, before we get into some of the issues, i want to talk about the finding of your groupcamp lejeune in 2006. a lot has happened with the military and with veterans' issues since then. i want to hear a little bit about the spark that led to your group's founding and some of the steps, what are some of the ways that you identify these issues and have you tackled them so far? robin: absolutely, thank you. yes, almost 16, hope for the warriors was founded here aboard camp lejeune. i happen to be here today for a very exciting moment in our history as part of the mental health clinic here in jacksonville. 16 years ago, however, there weren't the kind of resources we're seeing now and the kind of momentum we just heard from the secretary and from comcast. so it was really military families really coming together to recognize the needs and the challenges we were having, to talk about them, to be a voice for each other, and to do the actual work. i can say i did not aspire to be the c.e.o. of a nonprofit organization, but i did aspire to take care of military families the way th

he's in discussion with alex. well 2nd, welcome to the i'll examine, show pleasure to meet you and to be here. but you're a relatively new member of the upper house, the house a lot. but you come into the, the chamber with substantial outside experiences, a professor of finance and accounting. see how have you found the are came process of the house a lot? well, just to amplify a little bit. i was professor of accounting and finance at 3 major universities. generally, i was researching what i call the dark side of capitalism. and now are confronted fully in parliament. you can see that there is in build lobby of big corporations and the rich people and frequently legislation is modified to a page.

alex. >> noel james, good morning. welly, a federal appeals court ruled in favor of holding the biden administration's vaccine mandate for businesses and that news comes as we are dealing with that surge in covid-19 cases around the country. >> the vaccine mandate for businesses with more than 100 employees won't be immediately enforced by the government. but health officials are emphasizing the importance of getting vaccinated to fight the pandemic. it is really very unpredictable, very much so, particularly with the element. a variance. the new variant now spreading around the u.s. on kron is very contagious and it is so that it has the properties to potentially invasive of the vaccines and the other measures that we've taken doctor francis collins of the national institutes of health explains that while more people are getting breakthrough cases of omicron. it's still vital that people get vaccinated and boosted when eligible, if you've had vaccines and booster you're very well protected against omicron causing you sever

it's corporate with well contrib alex salmon. sure. well, we either view the political highlights of 2021 and ask 2 of our favorites to see, or what can we expect from westminster politics in 2022. in a few short weeks, prime minister johnson has moved from master boley, surveyed to a lame duck drowning and self inflicted scandal. what will the new year brag, upsets quote, a viable for the prime minister or end game for the johnson administration. interview talk, political commentator, peter, all right, i live in pretending to you bought an ass clear false. i'm ask them what exactly is going on and more importantly, what will happen? but 1st she retreats move and meshes in response. i show last week one ranging up to 26 summit in graduate, michael mcgregor and says, the plan is going back to the formation as it did billions of years ago. i adopted says, the realistic carbon cut to cost is ridiculous. and the commercial joke at best, robert died says didn't. but the lead us, we have definitely didn't. i'm frankly, or not later note, will

>> yeah, alex, well, there's at least three people who should be very concerned about the possibilityt, former president trump. secondly, don trump jr., and also roger stone, and here's why. assange possesses the capability, the knowledge to help close the gap between all of that muller investigation talk of collusion with russia and the 2016 campaign, and the gap between that and criminal chargeable conspiracy with russia. so here's the deal, if you recall assange wikileaks actually reached out to gooseifer 2.0 known to be a russian gru entity and said give me that hacked material, that by the way, muller charged 12 russian intelligence officers for hacking, give that to me, i'll disseminate it and help the trump campaign. he knows also who he was in direct contact with during the campaign. we know from investigation that ton jr. was in contact with wikileaks for months during the campaign, even received tasking and acted on it from wikileaks. we also know from investigation that rick gates, an aide to trump on a trip drive to laguardia airport with trump, trump took a call he says f

good evening , alex. wellust trying to make sure that people have food, water and shelter crews are continuing their search for survivors more than 100. people in the state still missing. but i'll tell you what. it feels pretty good to not just be pushing this stuff out of the way. but to be loading it up and taking it out of town. it may be several weeks until officials in kentucky tally the full scope of the damage after five twisters hit the state in the span of a few hours. in dawson springs. an official estimates more than 60% of the town is beyond repair. those whose homes are still standing feeling grateful we got into the bedroom closet right before it hit. and if you look at what we have left. we're blessed in mayfield. many of the buildings were reduced to their foundations. construction company owner wesley strange is used to working with his hands. now he's sifting through the debris of the building. he was remodeling. we're one day away one day away from getting it done. that was friday night. he

you're welcome, alex. well here at home, as you know, it's been a messy hazardous.afternoon. it is slick on those roadways and the rain continues to fall. the wind advisory has expired that at four o'clock this afternoon by the national weather service, so the winds are beginning to let up, but the rainfall not expected to let up until early tomorrow morning. here is a look at a slick. san mateo bridge and again it is going to be slow. go if you do have any place to be this evening. take it easy and be safe. here's a look at some of the 24 hour rainfall totals or call 36 since the rain started early on for some. marin civic center reporting almost five inches of rainfall. san francisco reporting 2.5 oakland reporting almost three and then you get into san jose 7/10 reported their mount tam and ben loman in the santa cruz mountains, reporting several inches of rain 78 inches or so with again another 12 hours or so to go. here's a look at storm tracker, too. it was widespread from the north bay through the center bay even a little bit heavier down towards the south ba

thank you for having me on alex. wellither had no rain, some rain off and on or some heavy rain, but everybody experiencing least most areas reporting some stronger winds and the winds will continue to increase this evening and also the rainfall will intensify as the main front which is up to our north will gradually spread to the south this evening, so rainfall expectations not as strong as the recent atmospheric river event, but still it's not a weak system. we're thinking about a quarter of an inch that would be in the south bay, but maybe it's a two inches for the north bay coastal hills. and you can see with our timing. we're thinking the rainfall will let its heavier rainfall rates this evening into tonight and then into tomorrow. still some scattered showers but the overall trend we decrease the activity throughout the day on thursday, here's the satellite and radar pretty active all day long, the bulk the activity has been focused up in northern california, but that energy is beginning to slide to the south for th

>> reporter: well, alex, we would have been hearing from jeffrey clark this morning if it weren't forition you mentioned there at the top, but now his new deposition date is set for december 16th. let's walk a little backwards here and see where we got to this point. jeffrey clark originally was invited to appear voluntarily. the committee then issued him a subpoena when he made it clear he would not cooperate on a voluntary basis. now on wednesday, this past wednesday just a couple of days ago, the committee met to vote on a report issuing contempt of congress for jeffrey clark. that report was committed -- excuse me, that report was reported out of the committee on a unanimous basis, but look, now the full house vote is on a pause while they wait for jeffrey clark to appear. let's take a listen to adam schiff. he's a member of the select committee, what he had to say when he found out late last night that jeffrey clark wouldn't be appearing this morning. watch. >> the committee is satisfied that it is genuine, that is the sample documentation. this is not yet another ruse, and frank

thank you, alex, join us after the break. well, alex turned to the political storm, which has engulfed the johnson government in recent weeks, joined us then you were told it was bad for your eyes and your posture that it would stop you from having real friends and finding a girlfriend. but what they failed to mention is that you can make thousands of dollars over the weekend by simply playing video game with a stacy for years and a couple of them because we formed the fortune to was sure it's a little under it was originally because much for the net, okay, much more to do except there's no phone of course to make video games a high paying job. you have to be gifted and quick witted. i'm going to open up with the little bit more to live near bottom in this santa webpage. but here from young booth but even started yet, glove voice. when you most told me i was do it. i don't you me? i was at kneels. few are you guy of the owner. without that vehicle it will still be justice. these is hard to do. i also use a when i was shown seemed

alex salmon show. great pleasure. joining us after the break. well, alex asked by the next clear fox to gaze into a political crystal ball and tell us what 2022 will bring. we'll see then. ah, scientific knowledge has never been so readily available to everyone across the globe, but overwhelmed by information. can we distinguish the real science from the one being imposed upon us? we're living in a world where there are many people who have a vested interest in finding information, finding scientific evidence, and discrediting even the notion that science could provide the truth about the natural world in the pursuit of business goals. large corporations are challenged strongly by scientific evidence. if you're emotionally invested and free markets, then climate change is a serious emotional threat. because dealing with that means we have to change our approach to business industries or on the war bar, attempting to debunk legitimate science by producing new evidence in science, lighting science. that's how ignorance is manufactured, their attention

alex. i'm and show great pleasure are joining us after the break . well, alex asked by the next clear fox to gaze into political crystal ball and tell us what 2022 will bring with the then ah ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation community, are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. welcome back. well, it's been a toward a few weeks, but the prime minister 2022 sir, to cooperate, and his boy, only a poker full 20 men in gray suits, comma calling on dining seats. alex's in conversation with the liveliest of the new members of the house of lords ennobled by johnson, not because of our donations to the conservative party, but because of our campaigning for brakes. it. thank the man who got brakes done can hold on to cover. alix speaks to botanist. clear. fox, biomass, clear false. welcome back to the alex simon. chill, good to bay. what woul

>> well, alex, this is an interesting balance act that democrats have to do to move forward here. what's interesting are the tweets and reactions that i'm seeing now. they're different from the initial rage that came from progressives. it was the staff from manchin's office that made this call 25 to 30 minutes before he delivered this blow on fox news this morning. and senator tina smith just tweeted, we have to face the reality. democrats still need manchin's vote. again, it's 50 votes that we need to pass this through with the filibuster proof majority here in the senate. and they need his vote to get on this bill, whatever it looks like, whether it's even smaller now, some sources told me earlier in the week, maybe it could be $1.2 trillion. so definitely not the $3.5 trillion build back better legislation that biden and democratic leaders originally hoped for. but perhaps picking some pieces from this could be realistic in the next few months. now that this initial shock has perhaps started to fade away, they need to figure out how to balance with manchin without pushing him a

i join me every person on the alex simon. sure. well i'll be speaking together for the world politics sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh, when i was showing wrong, when i just don't hold any world to see how this thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, the deaths of innocence and lives destroyed and afghan whistleblower lifts the lid on america's drone program in his country. the former operated currently and hiding from the taliban, went to ortiz project on her voice. leading belgian engineers, the left is made as the government decides to shut down all nuclear reactors within 3 years, even though it's on mac floods generate almost off with also to come i think what the live.

well to discuss it now joined by alex hinton. distinguish professor of anthropology at rutgers university and the unesco chair on genocide prevention professor can it's great to talk to you. thank you very much for finding the time. yeah, thanks so much for inviting me on. you know, i used to be a what a correspondent and in every conflict they cover the charges of genocide for the 1st to spring up. partially because it's how fear operates, especially if you're back. but also because it's a highly colton political charge, it can impact the outcome of a comp, like a somebody who has dedicated his career to study in genocide. can you always tell the difference in the real, imminent danger of targeted math? i am conscious of her. she use that here to exploit that here. jeff, active political outcome. yeah. you know, that's, that's a great question. and a complicated question and i think maybe several questions. so maybe we'll sort of start with a 1st and work towards the last. but just so in terms of definition, right, genocide refers to the antenna to destroy a group and whole arm part. and

alex, simon, i'll be speaking to guess in the world politics sport. business. i'm sure business . i'll see you then. mm. ah. welcome back to well, the alex distinguished professor polish at rutgers university and ask a chair on genocide prevention. professor hinton, your most recent book is called it can happen here wide power and the rising read of genocide in the united states. and i think it's both a straightforward and somewhat ambiguous statement of it, because you genocide can happen anywhere where people leave where and where they can conceptualize and emotionally weaponized differences in the united states as a very diverse country clearly carries that. why does it have to be stated and why doesn't have to be stated in explicitly racial trends, given how many divisions exist in the united states? yeah, no, thank you. that's a great question. ok. and a big one. you know, sort of the 1st thing you say, the shadow and recognition of the shadow. you know, i absolutely agree that all countries have a shadow of some sort. as i mentioned earlier in terms of dennis, i know the crime is taking place different countries to differ

well, soaring inflation, no skyrocketing energy prices, the global economy going down the drain, coming up next. the kaiser report with join me every posted on the alex simon, sure. well i'll be speaking to guess what the world politics, small business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that he's pricey and sugary and salty and addicted. it's not at the individual level, it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change this obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate in ah, hi max kaiser, this is the kaiser report. what have i told you hong kong in a box? what does that mean? let's ask stacy max, a kind of sounds to me like el salvador is hong kong in a box. of course president who kelly himself is always saying, singapore, which kind of fits, you know, there a country that is a very hot human tropical that turns itself into a financial power house. well, would you believe me if i told you max that

well? >> and alex, it is important to get boosted for a couple reasons.know you get what they're calling that super immunity now. we don't know how long that lasts. getting that booster shot, what i always talk about is establishing a baseline with your immune system, a high baseline with the two vaccines, if it's mrna, and then the booster shot on top of it gives you that baseline. if you get infected and get a breakthrough, it pushes that baseline up. we don't know if that's going to come down or not because of that super infection being part of a natural infection which we know doesn't last as long. getting those booster shots is important. but if you do get breakthrough infections, you know, what they are saying is you do seem to get -- it's almost like getting another booster shot on top of that. your immune system gets worked out even more and gets to be that much stronger. what we don't know is how long that strong immune system is going to last at that level. >> if you get omicron, you test positive for it, you can pass it on potentially, what if

well. but vaccination, how much is that the epicenter of the issue? >> yeah, vaccinations are the game changer, alexre's why. so against the omicron -- first of all, against the delta variant, that third immunization works really well, both against symptomatic infection and serious illness. if you get your third immunization, especially if you're not far out from that third immunization, it still does a pretty good job protecting against symptomatic illness and does a very good job of serious illness. so when you're hearing from friends who are texting you or contacting you saying, hey, i got triple vaccinated and now i'm positive, and i'm feeling a little crummy, you're saying what does that mean? it means against symptomatic illness, it's not as strong as it was, but it's keeping you out of the hospital. the problem is for individuals who have gotten two vaccinations but have not gotten boosted, there's essentially no protection against symptomatic illness. some very modest protection against serious illness. we have to get those people boosted. only about a third of those who got two doses have a

ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah, a ah, with join me every 1st bit on the alex simon. sure. well obviously you the guess on the world politics sport. business. i'm sure business, i'll see you then. mm. your brain is developing up until about 25 or, or 30 even. and what that means is your brain is essentially under construction. anything that affects that brain has the ability to affect it for the rest of his life, much more than when you're an adult. it's why if your child or you learn a 2nd language, you actually learn it easier than if you're an adult. your brain is a sponge, it's taking everything in your site is the issue of addiction. and so any drug that comes in contact with you go into contact with affects. your brain is one that has the ability to stay with you for a very long time. and for marijuana, it's certainly the case because it affects the parts of the brain that are responsible for all kinds of things, including learning, concentration, coordination. i think something that's really important about talking about marijuana is how it d stabilizes. you're able to, t

>> well, i think, number one, and good to see you, alex.her doing interviews is one piece of what appears to be increasing white house strategy of trying to rehabilitate an image that definitely took a hit in the first year of the biden/harris administration. having her do that interview and some of the other interviews she's done is putting her out there and having her address that question very specifically and her answer saying, hey, i'm going to let that be decided or be analyzed by other people is an on-message answer. she's saying i have a job to do and it's my job to focus on it. >> yeah, okay. i'm going to ask you something about that. it's percolating in my mind in a second. but right now, it does seem at times that there's a disconnect between the vice president and president biden. take a listen at how both responded to questions about reforming the filibuster. >> the only thing standing between getting voting rights legislation passed and not getting passed in the filibuster, i support making an exception of voting rights for th

well, alex, under, i'm afraid that's not going to happen because if nato sits down with russia and treats it as an equal, then there's no reason for nato to exist anymore. ok, that's their dilemma. and this is a dilemma. walter, let me go to, you know natal it's, it's really throwing the die south there and they're going to get snake eyes on this one here because they up the ante, but they're not going to get the result that they want. ok, and that's why we go through this every 6 months now. and then eventually in the black sea, in the dawn bass a drone, something's going to go wrong. and then a chain of events will occur that everyone's going to regret. go ahead, walter. oh that's, that's certainly a possibility to certainly a possibility. i mean that's what makes the situation so dangerous. even if each side does not desire an all out war, even if they're just trying to extract a discrete political benefit from it, that does not or that type of conflict. there is always the possibility of a miscalculation a misunderstanding, something going wrong, and then, and then the striking back i

my government will not operate with any mckenzie or maybe in good, or he well, alex, the wall executive director of the world peace foundation. he says, the lack of cooperation from the government is making it difficult to assess the scale of the situation in te, grow. it hugely complicates the matter of course, if the yoke and government were as innocent, that is claiming to be would have no problem in lifting censorship. allowing the ethiopian media, her report freighting, which it's not allowing international journalists and human rights investigators in the very fact that it is not doing that. it is implicitly admission. the terrible things are going on. and the, the figures and, and the reports that we are getting from the ground. really just the tip of the iceberg. every to grind whom i speak to, for example, every single one has lost a family member to, to violence. and it is, and the undocumented extent of the abuses is really quite hard. for many, apple is police officer, tim potter has apologized in court for shooting and killing 20 year old black men don't say right. she's fa

well it's 100% just the tip of the iceberg, alex. um it is surprising that it was detected in the bay area as opposed to new york or d. c because these cities have direct flights from johannesburg, which is where the province. is where that big outbreak of former crone wise, so it just really speaks to the close partnership between academic and public health that we're able to, like rapidly do the sequencing to find the very end, but it's probably among us it is probably in the east coast in particular and throughout the united states. all right. i know this is only one case here. one person with the omicron variant person from san francisco. but let's can we extrapolate anything from what we know about this person's particular case here they were fully vaccinated . they had not received a booster shot. thus far, they had only miles mild symptoms here from the omicron variant. what does that signal to you about our level of concern and what it should be with this variant. so first of all, clinically the reports we've been getting so

alex savage in tonight for frank somerville people looking for vaccines, boosters or coronavirus tests are now being directed to a different clinic. ktvu jana katsuyama joining us live tonight with the details, jenna. well alex and julie the city said they're disappointed because the nonprofit operator named covid clinic was supposed to continue services at least through december. 30th they are saying that the clinic closed. you do shortages of vaccines and staff at the clinic clinic is blaming the city and says it was a business decision that forced them to close the site. waiting baloo and her husband, vishal thought it'd be simple, getting a covid test wednesday for their flight home to toronto earlier today, we booked a test for each of us at the frank gaba plaza. but when she arrived at 2 50 frank ogawa plaza, the lobby was empty. it was a 4 30 appointment . a handwritten note taped to the door told people to go across town to a clinic in the fruitvale district, a five mile trek across town during rush hour to the clinic, which was closing soon. those really nervous because it was said that it closed up five. yeah and then we just rushed over here, and luckily i was able to change the uber destinat

>> well, that's a terrific question, alex. i would start by saying, i think he'll probably repeat what he said last week. and i was in the room in the roosevelt room that day when he said he expects to see a winter of death and severe illness for people who are unvaccinated. and i can tell you, that was his -- during his meeting with his covid team and it just felt grim. they seemed worried, and i think they had reason to be. and that's because of all the reporting you've already been sharing. the omicron variant is spreading throughout the world. and is really upending, again, this pandemic, which is the same thing that the delta variant did. so to get back to your question, i think he will talk about that. i think he will give a stark warning again that people who are not vaccinated need to get vaccinated. and that people who are not boosted need to get boosted. and those numbers, despite the fact that they keep asking people to get their booster shots, are still pretty low. so i think you'll hear him repeating that. and the

brooks well, alex with the holidays upon us, friends and family, maybe traveling and gathering and cases of covid in california they have already doubled compared to last week. which is why governor newsom says now is the time to double down on boosters and testing. getting his own rapid test. governor gavin newsom visited the native american health center in east oakland. surrounded by frontline workers. he announced a new requirement booster shots for all healthcare workers by february. 1st. i think it is a smart move. i think it's the wise move in this context that we need to make sure we don't have staffing shortages. we need to keep all of you healthy and safe and again. the best way to do that. is to get boosted with the omicron variant, dominant and rapidly spreading. newsom says 1700 extra healthcare workers are now in california and another 500 are coming in case of a surge and as people travel and gather for the holidays, there are new testing efforts to keep kids in school following their winter break. we want to make sure they come back. in as good a shape as they left to pre

welcome to the alex, i mean sure, well, we are view the political highlights of 2021. i'm asked 2 of our favorites to see what can we expect from westminster politics in 2022. in a few short weeks, prime minister johnson has moved from master of all the surveyed to a lame duck draining and self inflicted scandal. what will the new year bring up the core revival for the prime minister or end game for the john says ministration . we interview talk, political commentator, peter, all right, i live in the changing tier bought an ass clear false. i'm ask them what exactly is going on, and more importantly, what will happen? but 1st, she retreats emails and meshes in response i show last week one ranging up to 26 summit. ingram, micro mcgregor says the plan is going back to its formation as it did billions of years ago. i had 2 absences. the realistic carbon cut to cost is ridiculous, and commercial joke at best. robert died says didn't. but the leaders we have definitely didn't. and frankly, are not later note, william nicole says, i am certain that all music and my said, if

alex jones has talked about it as well. on the one hand, public congressional interviews sometimes turn into very whacky circuses. i would refer people to corey lewandowski's notorious interview with congressional investigators a couple of years ago. on the other hand, congresswoman cheney has now said that the committee is looking to have more public hearings with more witnesses to take what they're learning behind closed doors and to make it public. is it likely that alex jones, jeff clark and bernie carrick participate in any of those hearings? i don't know. but they already have gone out there and suggested that at least in some way, they're willing to talk publicly. it's going to be interesting. >> betsy, good to see you as always. thank you for joining us. betsy woodruff swann is a natural correspondent with politico. >> joining me now is the democratic congresswoman from california, judy chu, the chair of the congressional asian pacific american caucus, and most importantly for the purpose of today's discussion, she
