i was working on a journalism piece and i decided to go to flint hills by fort leavenworth because i'm quite a history not and they knew that those two were the first on the frontier. we are aware of the civil war and mexican war generals, general custer and general shared in soap worth. i just wanted to go up there and see the fabled foothills. one part of the country is heard was beautiful and significant but i hadn't visited it. while there i came across a red marker for the oregon trail and it was just outside a place called the washington kansas hollenberg station which was a famous but they called load branch on the oregon trail sort of a convenience store for the pioneers going across. i became mesmerized and fascinated by the trail. i decided i want to do a book about the oregon trail and the motive that was drawing me to it was the real history, the history that i discovered and by some historians was so much different they would have been tacked down to a grammar school student high school student even college student and god forbid it was much different than was passed down

yet he was sentenced to three in federal prison, which he began serving two weeks ago at fort leavenworth. i was able to speak to his son and son-in-law on the devastation this has wreaked on dr. moody also his family. he has several college-age students. has another son who is 16 years old and is a junior in high school, and his brother told me about the way in which this has affected his brother at a very vulnerable time, six years old, to have his father disappear. 60-year-old man, highly educated, now consigned to a cage for the next three years for literally having done nothing other than try to save his family from starvation, starvation that occurred because of the same government that just prosecuted him for doing that. this is the kind of story that if you go into muslim communities in the united states you will hear over and again. it's the sort of thing you can become angry about if you think about it or read about it without the human connection. it takes on a different dimension when you realize these are all human beings whose wives have ashlock said been destroyed in the fa

[ applause ] >> hi. great to be here. well, i'm going to start off with some interesting quotes that i've heard recently. okay. quote, the u.s. navy mined the waters off northern japan to keep the russians from invading first. quote, stalin was prepared to seize the northern end of hong shoe, his armored divisions would sweep down the island to tokyo leaving post war japan a divided nation like germany. quote, there was nothing to stop the soviets from invading before the americans and seizing all of northern japan. well, okay, much like fantasy football, alternate history, it can be an enjoyable diversiontre same old ground. what is interesting about these overheard quotes, though, is that they were all uttered as statements of fact by educator and serio
