the government set up a kennedy commission to examine the science and engineering on what we know and what's uncertain, how dangerous can it be? great experience but what i learned to your point is this profound difference between what people thought they knew in the public space and good policymakers outside the spot and you and what they debated about was a big house them and the people across the chasm were aminority . a lot of scientists just don't want to get in and i can tell you i tried to get a lot of scientists to your community to come and join in the debate about the safety of nuclear energy and we were being told the world what and . we had prominent scientists at the union of concerned scientists and places like that, today we almost lost pennsylvania. all these things are going to have. scientists did not want to join me. i got a bunch tojoin and i felt very fortunate but they didn't want to join a public debate for a variety of reasons . i would say it felt a lot like where weare now but now it's on steroids . you learned that there's nothing to debate, there was a bit

accusation of nuclear power should cease to operate and we should abandon it and set up the kennedy commission to examine the science and engineering about s what we know. a great experience but what i learned from your point was this profound difference between what people thought they knew in a public space and then outside of what they debate about and the people across the chasm were a minority. a lot of scientists i can tell you i tried to get into your community to join me in the debate about the state of nuclear energy and we have prominent scientists. the day we almost lost pennsylvania in three mile-m island and all these things were going to happen. scientists did not want to join me. i felt very fortunate they didn't want to join the public debate on that subject and that i would say it's a lot like we are now but now it's on steroids. there is a bit of blowback on the debate when you read the "wall street journal" five years ago? >> 2013. >> seven years ago. so were you surprised? i guess i wasn't surprised the blowback i felt because there is a trigger event that caused hyperbolic

commissioners on the committee that's investigating the assassination of president john kennedy, the warren commission. we go to the next slide to use his own phrase he was going to be a workhorse, not a show horse. not someone who's going to make his name by things giving speeches on the floor but someone is going to make his name by work on committees and learning the mechanics of congress. he was known for his constituents, that's what we see on the left. he's sitting at his desk reading constituent mail. he had a standing order that all constituent phone calls and letters would be answered within 24 hours. his constituents in his district appreciated that. in 13 elections they return him to congress each time with not less than 61% of the vote. we call it at the library the ford it's an aggressive calendar you might see where he jotted down, not every day but often we would get a sense of his work. for him it was not a monday -- friday job. he was often in the office on saturdays and sundays. they would play in statutory hall with other congressional leaders. and sometimes to be standing at his ty

kennedy's throne. and by the way, the f. b. r. hoover's organization was the main contributor of information to the warren commission. they were feeding them information and we now know from the d classifications in the film that we're showing. that among the things that never showed up in the warren commission was a seebert o'neill report, which 2 top agents were there at the autopsy in bethesda, and testified very clearly to their being a massive head wound back of kennedy's hand that was never seen in the photograph that came out of the onto an official photographs that came out of the autopsy, which indicates a divergence of what people saw with their own eyes. there still some papers that were missing there were supposed to be released. obviously we're thankful to donald trump for releasing some of them. do you think joe biden is gonna release them? he has till the 26 to make a decision on the release of other ones. trump did say though, because of national security law enforcement in foreign affairs concerned, i have no choice today to except redactions rather than allow irreversible home to national security b

kennedy of the warren commission.his own phrase he decided early on after mentors on capitol hill of someone who's going tois make his name by hard work on committees. he's known for his constituent service. his eating lunch, sitting at his desk reading constituent mail. we had a standing order that all constituents phone calls, would be answered returned to congress each time with less than 61%. he kept a diary is not really a diary it's a desk calendar where he jotted down it's not everyday but often. we get a sense of his workflow. for him is not a monday -- friday job it was a sunday -- saturday job. he was often in the office on saturdays and sundays. it would take the kids with him, though plain statutory hall with other kids of other leaders. sometimes a be sitting at the typewriter typing letters to their mother telling her. i earned it about bipartisanship who is mr. bipartisan. he worked well about people on both sides of the aisle. he doesn't welch remember he was partisan. he has a republican who sought le

columbia as other cities what's happening to young people, the dunbar pool is closed the commission can't get the money. kennedybut also raise the money to have it. they organized a job through high school kids. he was committed to what's happening to those children from other schools were closed for five years, 1700 out of school. that was when he and the president were committed to it. resident kennedy said do whatever you can, just do something. they created a preschool essay litigate the case. they raise the money and opened, ironically it opened in september 1963 the day after. if people have this, people who say comment on the worker working, instead of gotcha and really the history is complex and rich. he understood a lot. he focuses attention he was the one person in august of 1965. he became across the political spectrum robert kennedy said how can you expect? how do they obey the law when the law is against him? so he had an understanding and he spoke it and pushed to address those conditions in urban areas to get the support of the government involved in working with communities begin to repair the d

put the former governor of california and the chief justice in charge of the work commission to investigate the kennedy assassination. this is a bid to say you need to trust us because if there's one person you can trust it is the chief justice of the supreme court, the person who is at the top of our judicial branch. he is going to be in charge of this commission and says he acted alone, one man. the warren commission would not believe it when it was issued. in november 196329% believed that one mandated. 52% thought others involved in other single penny. the '60s and '70s, the lack of faith in the tribal government increases, as the government does bad things goes up, as the fear of the train government increases that number goes up and up and up. in march 2001 it is 81%. did not believe. what they are saying is we had an investigation, the government investigated, the chief justice came out and said this is what happened and at some point in 2001 more than three-quarters of the american people go you are lying. trust no one, a lie to us. then there are the revelations government conspiracy starts in

commission can't get the money because the southern senators control the budget of d.c. kennedy push for home rule but he also raised the money to get that pool restored. he started, he organized a job program for high school kids to get jobs in the government and private sector over 1000 summer jobs one year. so is doing things on the micro level, too. prince edwards county, use committed to what -- most happening to those children, the schools were closed for five years, 1700 roughly african-americans were out of school, no public school. that was a cause that both he and the president which is committed to. president kennedy said do whatever you can. at least -- whatever, just do something. they created the preschool as their litigating the case. litigating the case to force prince edwards county and they create free public to raise money and it opens ironically it opens in september of 1963, the day after the birmingham church is bombed. this is truly explosive time. it people have that opinion, i think people who say that haven't done the work of looking. instead of a fact

and that has become the case and citizens united the federal election commission in 2010 where their sloppy language by justice kennedy from buckley and says let's reset buckley and he add stuff to it that gives the impression that states c can require disclosuren an awful lot of things. so we have begun to see that in recent years. pressure here. began to interpret it more as a rational basis type law. according to use the term that required exacting scrutiny in the past but interpreting exacting scrutiny means nothing more that they are been a substantial connection between acquirement for disclosure and some state interests. even given the way our legislature is enacted almost all laws have some connection to some s legitimate state interest at least something you can plausibly state with a reasonably straight face and the courts therefore are saying there's a connection between the state interest and exposure, done. the disclosure is fine the supreme court's disclosure and what we have seen of the last several years is we keep pushing the boundaries here to create shame and try to isolate people and threaten him w

commission, there are some mysteries but they are not grand mysteries. i grew up in dallas. since this is something that i have lived with all my life since the kennedy assassination but it does anger me 2 at the end of your book you talk about your sources in this. and you talk about how readers will be able to -- well, they could be skeptical about some of your sources. can you talk about that and how difficult it was for you as a reporter? cement my sources tended to be intelligence agents and terrorists. the people that really know those people. and they are trained. so i was constantly having to cross check any documents that i might be able to get, other interviews i would use as well. what he said about this or that. it was a consensus, a way of going about as we try to establish the most probable truth. so i do think that i got as close as i could possibly get. i interviewed more than 600 people and i read tons of documents and i had many books in arabic and articles and other languages translated. getting some sort of these fine that i could judge the truth again and so most of what you see in her his original research. it is always fascinat

these particular beating: ace since citizens united, the election commission in 20 plans where there's floppy language by justice kennedy. he takes a sentence from buckley says the buckley and ads. they didn't say in berkeley to sit to it and uses the impression the states require disclosure on an awful lot of things. so we've begun to see that in recent years. pressure here, courts begin to interpret it more as a rational basis type law. the court have used the term that required exacting scrutiny in the past but then in the interpreted scrutiny as meaning nothing more than there be a substantial connection between the requirements and some state interest . well, even given the way our legislatures often ask, almost all laws have some connection to some legitimate state interest. at least something you can possibly stay with a reasonably straight face and the courts were there for almost always saying there's an connection between the state interest and the disclosure. done, okay. disclosure is fine. and what was seen over the last several years as an effort to push the boundaries. to create name and shame. to try to i
