can't hear, but still create the kind of damage that you saw in the nuclear attacks in japan in hiroshima and nagasaki. >> there have been a few isolated incidents where somebody on a plane or somebody in times square in new york city -- are those things in your domain? >> certainly, we worry about the nexus between terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. and so far, that nexus has remained hypothetical. we have not seen an instance where terrorists have acquired nuclear material they can use to make a weapon. we have seen instances of smuggling of highly enriched uranium. unfortunately, quantities too small to make a weapon with. -- fortunately, quantities too small to make a weapon with. but we worry are how much is in there in the black market that may have been stolen or gone missing decades ago. and keeping that stock of material away from terrorists. we also see in the manifestoes and in the ideology of terrorists, that desire to do harm on a scale of and millions of people. nuclear material is one of the few ways were you can have an impact of that character. >> when you say on

if cybersecurity legislation needs to be pushed again would lieberman dare suggest a cure noble hiroshima disaster now i'm not trying to make light of these events become on guys this fear mongering is completely out of hand this is how bad legislation gets passed and this is how rights get trampled on when you put fear and panic into the mix you think you would have learned that by now after the last ten years believe it sees that clock ticking so he decides to give his efforts a little nudge even if it means painting a really scary hyperbolic picture in your mind so maybe maybe just maybe he's ready to join a cybersecurity lobbying group out there i don't know but we're taking it to the extremes just to make sure that he could live up to his legacy we're going to give senator joe lieberman tonight's tool time award. our guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening lauren lyster host of the capital account here on r t and jim hansen retired special operations master sergeant and military blogger of black live dot net thanks for joining. you know we want to rethink our name n

ah, hiroshima. that's more like it. oh, bullocks. what are you doing? i'm just seeing if we've been reconnected. oh, look. here comes eisenhower. i think that driver's the bird he was knocking off. thank you, simon schama. draxi: 'bye, karen! 'bye, ben! i love your hair! ben: 'bye, draxi! your children very nice, very fun. i-if you like, i come again. again? you would be prepared to come again? yes! oh. right. well, thank you. bye-bye. jake: what time do you call this? what? you said you'd be back at eleven. no, we only said "about." well, you should be back at the time you said you'd be back. look, i know you're upset, and i know it's not about jo, but why don't you ask her over tomorrow? you really think she'd come round after the way you two behaved? i'm really disappointed in you, and you both need to go away and have a good think about what you've done. you've embarrassed me, and you've embarrassed yourselves. oh, forget it!

the impact, 1,000 times the force of the a bomb dropped on hiroshima.re is pictures of some of the trees flattened as a result of that asteroid impact. the group says a larger asteroid could have devastating effects. the sentinel will be a 1 1/2 ton, 25-foot tall infrared telescope launched into space. it would orbit our solar system to map potentially dangerous asteroids that could impact the earth. let's talk about it with tom jones a former nasa shuttle astronaut, a fox news contributor and author of plan net technology, unlocking the secrets of the solar system. can think find these things and do something about them? i guess that is the harder part? >> no, jon, there is a good science behind the group. we need to get out into space to overcome the inefficiencies with ground based telescopes. we can only look at the sky at night on earth and telescopes on the ground have hard time looking closer to the sun where a lot of the dangerous asteroids lurk. we can never discover them in a quick pace. we need to go out to space to have a better vantage poin

world after inauguration, apologizing left and right for the intervention in the early '50s, iran to hiroshimaing racism against the american indians. apologies whose only function was to make obama look morally superior to his country. this is an apology for purpose. we achieve objective and move on. >> john: move to iran now. speaking of moving on. i'm ran test fired long range missile capable of hitting israel and many u.s. troops. still stationed in the region. a few days after it's said it would wipe israel off the face of the earth if it were to attack iran. is this saber rattl rattling ors the threat carry a deeper sense of worry? >> i think the missile test are not that surprising and i would expect it to happen again. if the iranians simply did not want to run out the clock, they wouldn't be running out the clock. we are nearing a day of reckoning, because the israelis have given the u.s. time to do this dual track where we would be negotiating ourselves in a wall. but also doing things covertly and using computer viruses, et cetera, and the new offensive. military measures and strait

swooped overhead, one fired a nuclear tip air to aramis i will about 1/8 of the size of the one over hiroshimang flash as the weapon detonated. >> a very bright light. fireball as red that's floating above us there. >> 13 seconds later, the sound of the blast wave. >> it's directly above our heads. >> this is a huge fireball. >> there was a sixth man there that day, george yoesh tacky. a civilian cameraman working with the air force. he wasn't told the test was directly overhead until he arrived. >> i remembered i had a baseball cap. i thought i better wear that just in case. >> afterward he found out that the film he was making was to be government propaganda. >> it was a publicity stunt to show the american public how safe it was during the atomic bomb and if there was a war and there was bombs going off that it was safe for the general public. >> by the late '50s. americans were fearful of nuclear attack. >> duck and cover. this family knows what to do. >> duck and cover drills laughable today were thought then to provide some shelter. and back then, the u.s. didn't yet have intercontinenta

. >> bill: hiroshima here we go all over again right?7 years. we're coming up to the anniversary in the beginning of august. these are tactical nuclear weapons. who can on earth can imagine a scenario where we would need 700 of these things which is what we currently have. why modernize them, retire them. >> bill: god forbid we use one. wouldn't it more likely be like a missile launch? i thought that's where the nuclear warhead is. not again dropped from a plane. >> we have over 2,000 hydrogen bombs on missiles ready to launch at a moment's notice. >> bill: who makes the decision to take a b-61 and to upgrade it rather than destroy it? >> what happens is it works its way through the nuclear bureaucracy. as the program starts to go, the contractors add their bells and whistles to it and what started off as a simple program ended up as a $10 billion boondoggle. congress has to step in now and cancel it. >> bill: did obama approve this? >> this is in obama's budget. the president has approved this along with other modernization programs. >>

we have never used one except in hiroshima and nagasaki, and we can have a credible deterrent with a much smaller force. in fact, i agree with general cartwright that we could use our strategic missile submarines and b-2's and hopefully a new bomber and reduce the number of land icbdm's. we can't afford to have this -- continue to produce all of these nuclear weapons that will more than likely never be used. they're a good deterrent and they have been an effective deterrent. thank god for that. but the cold war is over. and we are in a position today where we must reduce the size of our nuclear weapons force. and i yield to the gentleman. i've been here a long time. i went through all the arms control debates, and i know something about this subject. mr. turner: well, sir, thank you for yielding me time. i know you certainly do know about this topic which is why i know you also know that we use our nuclear deterrent every day. why we stand on this floor and speak with the freedoms that we have, our nuclear deterrent keeps us safe. abandoning our nuclear deterrent would not make us sa
