the mountain line is robin kerner the editor of watching america dot com a contributor for the huffington post thanks for being with us noton he certainly changed the way we see the world and spying but how much has he really changed the way it all works. oh goodness me the way it works probably probably as of now i imagine not much the big impact of snowden certainly being in the culture by taking a political kind of abstract political discussion about river city should not have been to have struck but i guess it was and mainstreaming it obviously those who are in the intelligence business are going to be resisting any lock down of what they can do and until much more severe laws to do so to constrain intelligence services are passed that have been passed. they will have been affected much less than people like me would like them to me what could be some of his options asylum here in russia runs out very soon do you think i'll ever go back to the states or even to a close ally possibly. well ever is a long time anything can happen you know what i think that probably is the answer to your

joining me now is ryan grim, washington bureau chief for the "huffington post." ryan, this is a great piece of reporting. you talk about the veteran affairs committee in congress and why it has done a bad job of providing oversight to this very important part government. what's the main thesis here? >> it's quite simple, if you're a member of congress, your number one priority is to raise money. in order to raise money, you want to get on committees that oversee industries that are going to give you money. that's energy and commerce, that's financial services, which oversees banks, weighs and means, which writes taxes, and that's basically it. veterans affairs oversees the v.a. there is no money in that. so nobody wants to be on it. for instance, hull's camp, who boehner kicked off all of his committees for trying to overthrow him in a coup is still on the veterans affairs committee. >> so he basically says, i'm going to punish you by taking you off the other committees, but i'll leave you on veterans affairs, because being on veterans affairs is so low status an

the huffington post said the prosecution presented evidence taken from the journalits laptops that ando have nothing to do with the case, the muslim brotherhood, al jazeera and in many instances, egypt, itself. >> if anything, the way evidence was used made those trials look like a kind of kangaroo court. there were evidence of videos not produced by the journalists who were being accused. there were videos from other news channels where the journalists don't work. there were pictures of goats. there was music videos. there was all sorts of digital artifacts that were unrelated to the production team that was being accused. >> they didn't care to show evidence as long as it showed how this evidence is such a sham that they should have created better evidence. >> a sham so shamy the prosecution couldn't pretend it wasn't a sham. their case is based on some random video clip they probably found on the web. >> you would think that egyptian states would want to have a good name as a purveyor of freedom of press and such. it didn't seem to care, but it communicates something of -- i can eve

thought of myself as controversial but to make a where there was the critique of the book with the huffingtonpost but managed to misunderstand almost every point. but if you don't want to read the book but this slide is to get things started to remind you of the theme indicated by the red arrow that goes from the way research is actually done to say what you will find is 70 or 80% is from correlation under a certain set of conditions. and then with hidden a nanosecond everywhere around the planet to eat junk food from premature birth. but of course, most of the research on smoking is a correlation between one thing and another. so this little slide is to show you people whose career path was cut short because of their smoking habit. this is to illustrate 50 years ago it was regarded to be polite this is the wonderful film if you have not seen it. and to offer the communist unit as a matter of common politeness and that political divide rejected at that time but let's get on to the topic of the talk summit you will recognize this gentleman of founder of duke university. and you can see he is s

always good to be here great to have you with us your newest piece in the huffington post is about the dominance of the feds border governor governors by northeastern professional leads the fed it what it was set up was supposed to be representative of america why isn't it. well you know it's interesting how the governance of the federal reserve every president republican and democratic seems to feel free to ignore the law and its leadership seems to the law it says that the board of governors of the fed as you said shouldn't cooed this cross section of people the law also says by the way that the fed has a dual mandate to manage inflation and reduce unemployment and they seem to ignore the employment part of the mandate too but but in terms of governance the idea was when the fed was created in one thousand nine hundred thirteen there should be a cross-section of the people whose lives it was going to affect now in those days that man farmers who had just been through the panic of one thousand nine hundred seven it meant commercial and industrial interests and it meant people all acro

ferguson a professor of psychology at sussing university also contributes to the huffington post and time thanks for being with us is this exclusively an american problem with put this question to our audience what do you think. well that's a great question what seems to be happening is that there are more of these types of incidents in the united states than in other nations it is certainly not an exclusive american phenomenon other countries have had mass shooting events there just wasn't one in canada in the last couple of weeks for instance so it's not exclusively an american phenomenon but it does seem to happen more frequently in the united states than in other industrialized nations for sure it seems few people would argue that america has a gun problem why can't the government curb the lobby and how much of that has to do with gun violence because obama himself says politicians are terrified of the n.r.a. do you think that's true. i think that certainly is part of it i mean it's obviously a very complicated issue and you know i'm not a constitutional lawyer to be sure but. ce
