a german one, ralph atkins writing -- this is an important point. back in 2009, detroit expected to receive revenue from three can see notes -- casinos in the city. the banks could block the crucial flow of money to the city's government. doug bernstein, was their money for the casinos that went directly to the banks? >> that was the basis of a lawsuit that was filed about three weeks ago. those monies were trying to be diverted by the creditor. the casino revenue had been pledged. >> what do you think about that? is it legal to do that? take what is tax revenue coming from a casino and giving it directly to a bank? >> that is how badly the city has leveraged its assets. they were looking to borrow every way possible and that is the only way he could get credit. >> does it seem legal to you? >> it is legal. >> the legal structure of your bonds. it is interesting to see in france, you have a change in the writings of bonds. you have collective action clauses in the eurozone. that means we are preparing for defaults. we are preparing not to pay. the o

i do know that -- so the atkins case was actually argued by a professor at the university of new mexico and he is constantly barraged by what's the best way to assess i.q., especially when you have these different tests and different measures, et cetera. i.q. is one of the most well studied things in psychology. so taking a brain scan and fitting your brain along a dimension and getting a value is just a slightly different way of doing it than giving you the tests and stuff like that. so i have not obviously testified to anything like that. i just tried to give that as an example. there is an enormous literature out there that is already peer-reviewed and published on i.q. there are dozens of papers. the big question is how well can i take a single person's brain scan and with what confidence can i get a number associated with it that we would derive an i.q. those measures and ways that we do that get better every month, basically, every year we're getting more and more accurate at taking a single piece of information or complex piece of information and fitting it. to my knowledge, it h

then one i thought the point i thought that resonated with the daryl atkins case. i know as part of the research you did to actually interview with his mother. i just wanted to know, not so much about the content but just about what that experience was like. >> guest: a fascinating case. athens versus virginia the supreme court held you can execute someone who by state law is mentally impaired, retarded, whatever that level is. it's a very tough case because most killers are not the brightest light in the house, and so and as dimly, on the dems side as, should they be spared for the? and who should make that call? should be the united states supreme court or should it be the jury that sees the defendant in court? in this case, another one of those cases that is truly, it's a fascinating story and lately it's very important. this was a cold-blooded murder. stop some guy outside of a convenience store, forced them in the car, made him drive to a bank, nat machine, took out a couple hundred bucks and drove them out in the wilderness, told them to get out and shot him

if you go back to atkins and read the opinion, it's on the basis of an eighth amendment analysis of the twin pillars of the criminal law which are retribution and deterrence. the court makes the judgment that low i.q. means that you're less responsible and less likely able to be deterred. so the twin pillars of the criminal law don't really apply. but i'm not sure that the psychologists who do psychological testing and i.q. or the neuroscientists have really connected up the constitutional reasons why because it may be that they're substructures of i.q. that are more relevant to the eighth amendment question. it's not a general i.q. score that is ultimately relevant. in fact, the california supreme court has dealt with exactly that question of what subscales might be constitutional relevant rather than the global i.q. score. >> one question here which i think is very interesting. in my community, we strongly feel that diet plays a strong diagnosis of the violence we see, the intake of sugar which is heavily consumed is a factor. what is your take on that? >> diet certainly plays a role

here to explain the millennial generation are psychologist dale atkins, who's the other one, the lady9-year-old dan. hey kids. we have preconceived notions, we should say, about millennials. >> i have two. >> there's a bit of entitlement going on, a bit of selfishness going on, not as strong of a work ethic, are we on target? >> media portrays them as narcissistic and entitled, but i think very differently. >> really, show us some data, big boy. >> most diverse generation, most educated generation, they would rather have meaningful work and freedom and flexibility over more money, and even though the economy has hurt them so bad with double unemployment rate versus the national unemployment rate, they are the most optimistic generation. >> based on what, what is your data? >> you feel like the whole lives are ahead of them and they can really make a difference in the world. >> i think they've seen that they can. one of the things that's so incredible is, as dan says, they have the sense of optimism and see there are opportunities worldwide because they are always connected with the wo

or the pendingcation of daniel atkins who was shot and killed in the parking lot of a south phoenix taco bell while walking his dog last year. his shooter jude kordell said he shot in self-defense after a confrontation. or this one the broward county middle school student who got into a fistfight on a school bus and an appeals court ruled this week he should be allowed to use the stand your ground law to defend his actions. so, there is no question that the zimmerman verdict is being met by strong reactions all across the country. we've shown you examples today. as protesters call for changes to these controversial stand your ground laws. i want to bring in now criminal defense attorney darren kavonoki, he's joining us again and former prosecutor lonnie coombs, thanks for joining us as well. i'll start with darren. one of the trickiest factors here both opponents and proponents of stand your ground can find parts of the zimmerman case to support their beliefs, right? >> well, certainly. and to further the conversation that you teed up beautifully, don, that stand your ground really elimi

there were speeches and a concert by trace atkins, but in a sense as tourism has already remained the in gettysburg it is as if those epic battles have never fully receded from view. 150 years ago today confederate general robert e. lee was riding high fresh from a string of victories over apri april practice haabraham lincoln. john few ford was first to arrive at the lieutenant ral ceremony and scout the scene. lee's army of northern virginia opened up a witness erring assault on the forces from the north to northwest and it seems as though the confederacy was poised for a decisive victory. the author of the new book gettysburg, 1863 took fox news on a tour of the battlefield. >> it's commonly asserted that the confederacy one day one gettysburg because they do push back union forces south of town. one could argue in fact that what the confederates had done was push union forces back into extremely defensible terrain, terrain that would haunt the confederacy on days, two and three. >> reporter: generally had ordered his lieutenant general to chase down and destroy the northern army i

talking about this program with admiral mcraven's initiative, with the same kind of program such as the atkins local police initiative, will we see more of the security, service training across the globe? >> yes. [laughter] >> actually, yes. what you're seeing is a security force assistance building partner forces out there. depending on what country team, there is concern about doing the military side before you do the diplomacy side. and there's always a catch there. i'm a believer that you won't have good democracy without good security. and there is a balance there. because sometimes it can get a little bit interesting out there, that the world is not all black and white. but yes, the intent is to build our partner forces that are our counterparts, and that we can work through our counterparts. >> do you guys 70 last thoughts on the issue before we conclude? >> i would just like to say, this is a rare opportunity. we have a confluence, you know, the active fighting part of two major conflicts that we've been pursuing for the last 10 plus years are starting to wind down. people are looking
