those acts of self-defense? >> guest: and your point is well taken, and it allows me to sharpen the last answer. so the first chapter i actually title "boundary land," and what i'm trying to evoke is this notion that there is this area of contested or contestable scenarios where there are people engaged in violent acts of either self-defense be or if you push be it, if you think about it and talk about it a different way, you could say, you know, that's really getting to the range of political violence. and what we see rather than people over time talking about being on one side of the line or the other, political violence versus self-defense -- >> host: right. >> guest: -- what you see is the more conservative and cautious members of the community talking about self-defense and talking about arms with a level of restraint that recognizes the possibility that you could very easily have something that started out as an act of legitimate self-defense leak into or filter into or swirl out into a scenario where now

and then the question of the defense of others self-defense. you talk about the deacon to be talk a little bit about the challenges, the tradition as it has been evolving with the emergence of these new ideas, in terms of other two are related. >> again, there was always this lori, always this danger, the ex of individual self-defense would spill into political violence. just careless instances where there is an episode of self-defense that leads to a backlash that becomes the and a swirl of violence they have to characterize ultimately as political violence. groups of people fighting one another over something that -- over an idea, an episode. that has always been part of the weakness. the conceptual foundation that was running throughout the tradition. comes to a head in the 1960's. we find not only of blacks protesting, still defending themselves individually against. but also the cities are on fire. and within that context you have got new, more progressively radical organizations. the black panthers are emblematic. the "the you give from h

and the question of the defense of others in self-defense. and so can you talk a little bit about the challenges in the tradition with the emergence of these new ideas in terms of how this is related? >> yes, there was always the danger that acts of individual self-defense and would steal into political violence. and i have countless instances where there is an episode of self-defense and it leads to backlash that becomes a swirl of violence that you have to characterize as political violence. over an idea and not a threat he was fighting off an individual situation. so that has always been part of the worry. that has always been part of the weakness, if you will. of the conceptual foundation that was running throughout the tradition. it comes to a head in the 1960s. not only are the blacks protesting, still defending themselves individually against terrorists attacks, but also the cities are on fire and within that context, you have more aggressive radical organizations and the black panthers are emblematic and the book talks about others as

and then he says there is self-defense. he said even gandhi did not condemn them and they may even command this kind of grit and it shows. and then he says for purposes of what we are doing, that is the freedom to achieve political goals, we have to press through marching in a nonviolent demonstration to achieve our goal. and roy wilkins is still under pressure and he argues it is the single issue in the robert williams case that this is not an issue of self-defense. and he said that that is not what they advocated, they advocated political violence and we will have none of it. at the same time he said the naacp credit organizational achievement on supporting those who stood up with firearms and defended themselves to talk about this case with franklin. in the case was actually part of the impulse for funding the legal defense. all of those early 20th century cases, where they said that we are going to support it those that have used firearms in self-defense by the 1960s and 1970s and we are not going to be in the business

please explain how the right to self-defense has been transformed into an obligation of self-defense and the onus for fromc safety shifted away public policy to the individual victims who "could have saved themselves if only they were armed"? how is that anything other than blaming the victim? and finally, why isn't much more funding and advocacy directed towards the enforcement of laws?ng background checks, against felonsip by convicted and mentally ill by both sides of the debate? polydebates endless when the implementation is resulting ing and mass shootings. good comment. now i have two questions for don for john. i'm going to start with this one to don. and this is i suspect in part in vocation ofr the threat of tyranny. here it goes. extent do you believe gun ownership by civilians greaterted to aggression exhibited by members of a more fearful law enforcement community? do guns in fact help create an gunessive police state that owners seek to keep in check? questionnderstand the correctly, it is that police -- that the question is police civiliansfraid of with firepower someho

s defense.ing a speech soon which is it's very important everyone in the rest of the united kingdom emphasizes how much we benefit of scotland staying in the united kingdom and that's something i feel passionate about. >> we're grateful, prime minister. and i think we got through most of the things we wanted to get through. i think you would have gathered that we are very anxious about the national security strategy, anxious that the next one will be better. one point we have made repeatedly is how much we would like to see it drawn outside experts and other views. without any disrespect to the people we have. and a couple of times it's been suggested that the government might consult this committee and we very much hope that it will and we will do our best to be cooperative and helpful. >> thank you. we are keen to hear the views of others. in the end, the government has got to own this document. so it's got to reflect our collective view. but the more input and also identifying gaps and weakne

phillip resnick led for the defense. his counterpart was dr. park dietz, renowned for testifying in the john hinckley case and also a consultant on the hit series "law & order." on several points, the experts agreed. >> we both agreed she had a severe mental disease when she drowned her children. we both agreed she believed she was doing what was in the best interest of the children, and we both agreed that she knew what she was doing was against the law. what we disagreed was in spite of the law, she believes doing what was right for her children. >> the prosecution contended there was more method than madness. >> she said satan was telling her this and if you're a religious person and satan is telling you to do something, you start out with the assumption that it's wrong, this it's bad conduct. so starting from that simple proposition, we knew that she knew that it was wrong and she'd expressed that she knew it was wrong. >> so dr. dietz testified that mrs. yates knew it was wrong, not just against the law, but against society and against god

we're talking to former secretary of defense robert gates. want to talk to you about, you know, in these years as a secretary of defense for bush and obama faced down pretty fearsome adversaries, the iraq war reconstruction, the tal ban resurgence but you talk about a fight with a really terrifying opponent, the v.a. bureaucracy. [ laughter ] why is it so difficult to take care of our men and women when they come home in the manner that they deserve? and why is it -- why can we move heaven and earth to -- [cheers and applause] -- why can we mobilize so quickly and so well for intervention but not for backlogs of paperwork? what y- is that difficult? >> i write in the book that the only bureaucracy in washington that is more impactable than the department of defense is veterans affairs. you can have, i think, a very effective secretary like general shinseki who has been the secretary now and has been since the beginning of the administration who is absolutely committed to getting things right, but getting it down through that bureaucracy and g

in the league, at least two of the top defenses. when you look at the 49ers defense, they just really wanted to prove that they were every bit as good as the panthers. it started in the third quarter as they came in. how did you see that set that up for the rest of the game? >> the 49ers were a step slow, as we talked about. but when the 49ers' offense scored at the end of the first half, then the defense really picked it up. they forced a three and out at the very beginning of the second half, which led to a 49ers touchdown and a ten-point lead. and then what happened was that the panthers put together a very good drive. 13 plays. they were controlling the clock. they really were in position to make a ball gail ome out of it. cut it inside a touchdown. then the 49ers' defense really stepped up with two huge plays. and all of a sudden the panthers' back was broken. all they have out of this was a punt. so i think that really was the key sequence in this game, the 49ers' defense stepped up big-time in the third quarter. >> on that lo

so we need to feel that the missile defense systems even though he did. they cost too much and though one of the bpd often so long. that mr defense system is mis understanding of our people or people can be instead we if we feel decent defense systems he could be part of us missile defence system but is not true. we knew as his defense system may not need the lord it is set to miss this. we need to make a close call question we'd united states and the even. on japan you know to destroy the flying and attacking north korea and this was in the air. so south korean defense minister kim went in expressed confidence in our current free and dismissal destruction system or the so called kill chain. do you think that's it we shared it be as confident as he is. if we succeed or to purchase and by all the necessary weapons systems the defence ministry or parties planning. i think all we have some considerable time. people do this again is that any kind of miss most thought it would take i do the more than ten years. and the four windshield that we do not have any r

guest: there is a decrease in the defense budget but the defense budget is half of discretionary spending in this country. a lot of the spending in the government is on the mandatory side of the ledger and that includes security, medicare/medicaid but this is the discretionary agency budgets of there is a decrease for defense of about $30 billion compared to what they had been seeking. another big decrease of about $8 billion comes from the labor hs budget, the departments of labor and health and human services which administers obamacare and the department of education. that sees a decrease but that is a sizable oil compared to some of the smaller ones like the agriculture bill. this past quickly in the house and in the senate.

and the idea that somebody -- some defense lawyer is going to base a defense on that is ludicrous. you, i will tell you that generally my experience, having seen these cases over 30 years, what first gets reported and what first gets leaked is always by law enforcement. and in virtually 90% of the cases it's not actually what happened. >> there were witnesses. there were witnesses. >> i just reserve judgment before we start saying this is some guy who goes to the theater with his gun and somebody throws popcorn on him or they text and he decides to shoot him. >> that's exactly what happened. >> i find that -- i'm a little skeptical about that. >> we do know that the alleged shooter is a former police captain. how do you think that plays, sonny, in a case like this? >> i think it could cut both ways. think if you're the prosecution you're going to argue this is not a stand your ground defense because this is someone trained in assessing a threat. and so for him to argue that he was feeling threatened by the bag of popcorn doesn't make any sense. he's being disenyingenuous. but he is

mark, how do you mount a defense in this? would you go for a stand your ground defense? >> well, you really have to know the facts. i know that you had that package at the beginning of this and you have somebody who says, oh, he did it to me before. having been in cases where there's publicity and people come out of the woodwork saying, oh, this happened to me, and everything else. first thing you're going to do is try and determine, is that a true and accurate rendition of what really happened. then, before you do stand your ground or anything else, you have to just do a parallel investigation and determine what actually happened. i mean, we don't know. we know what's been reported so far. notoriously, this is stuff that is leaked by law enforcement to kind of buttress their case. until we get an idea of what actually happened, and the defense lawyer mounts a defense, i think it's somewhat premature to start saying he was doing it over texting or anything else. i mean, it just -- at first blush, it sounds too crazy. and usually when it sounds too crazy, it's because it

what should the shape of the defense budget look like? what kind of military capabilities do we need when we're making decisions to deploy military forces? what do we know about the other side? what do we know about what we're getting into? and those issues are being debated today and they are questions of war and peace. they are questions about our national security going forward. another question is what is the impact of a polarized and paralyzed congress in the ability to conduct a coherent national security or foreign- policy? so i believe these issues are relevant to today. and quite frankly, when it comes to reporting on conversations with the president, i think when people actually read the book, they will see that most of the conversations that i write about actually portray those presidents in a positive light, in the sense that they are asking tough questions. they are pushing back. they are not being spoon-fed information, but are wrestling in a good way with very tough problems. ♪ >> this book is about quarries, getting in war

the 49ers defense stepped up big time in the third quarter. >> on that long drive the punt came with two reserves in at the end. we saw demarcus dobbs. i they rotated the linemen. >> they did. we've seen it. 49ers have good depth. look at what they have done with carlos rogers, a starter, who played every snap, basically, a cornerback for his first three seasons, cox played the nickelback role. 49ers had a fresh rotation of defensive linemen. it was a good all around effort after expending so much energy to beat the green bay packers, the 49ers stepped up. this was a total team victory. >> have to man up one more time against the seahawks before they get rest before they head to new york if they can make it to the super bowl. we'll have more on the 49ers win against the panthers. for now, for nbc bay area. >> about a two-hour flight to seattle. 9er fans were planning to make the trip to see the game. that is until seattle threw them a curveball. the seahawks put tickets on sale but only to people with billing addresses from washington, oregon, alaska, hawaii and parts of canada. cali

some of these are defensible. there is a distinction between a disability and an occupation the disability. there are certain things you can do in your regular life, walking for short periods of time, running for some period of time. that doesn't mean you could comport with the job requirement, chase bad guys, jump over fences, sit for long periods of time. that distinction will be very important. >> we are over 100 cases at this point, 104 or so cases that they are going to have to incompetent ve investigate at this point. i wanted to high lalight a coup of them. one of them is a lawyer and former fbi agent and the chief of the rackets bureau in the d.a.'s office. he is 83 years old. another one, a disability consultant, who you would think would know better, a union official and a retired police officer. does that change the metric here? when you are talking about the kind of person you are charging as opposed to just the charge that's defense i believe? >> in many cases nowadays, we charge certain people with a

so i'm not trying to pretend the defense department is innocent in this category, although the defense department is very good about holding secrets, military plans, and tactics and techniques. but it put its troops minute set risk. so in this case my belief is -- i will describe the scene. we are at the very end of our time in the situation room. we know that bin laden has been killed and he's back in jalalabad and he's on his way to a watery grave and we are about to break up as the president is going upstairs to address the nation and tell them about this extraordinary success with. and i said look what we used these tactics and techniques every night in afghanistan going after al qaeda and italian leaders so it's important that everybody agrees that all we are going to say is that we killed him and not go into any details about the operation and how we did and as you say i right in the book that lasted about five hours. and everybody agreed after i made this little package, everybody agreed like little kids we did our blood oath kind of thing we wouldn't do this and lasted about fi

department of defense would degrade the department of defense intelligence capability. the two principal players in this camp were secretary rumsfeld and vice president cheney. secretary rumsfeld is of course very quotable. he at the time was for centuries the again the 9/11 commission recommendations. he wrote in a letter to george bush from this time. something that i think it's very notable and you can almost hear some of the intensity in his voice, which was found to basically that the united states congress, the media and john kerry can afford to be wrong and pay no penalty. the president of the united states has to be read on the matter of such importance. he ended the memorandum to george bush at the time, which is detailed in the book with a single word. caution. urging caution on the president before he adopted this particular recommendations. vice president cheney, himself a secretary of defense also opposed the dni recommendation. he focused on the fact that we were up or at the time in iraq and afghanistan and said now is no time to be rearranging the deck c
