jfk, lee harvey, oswald and the real target in dallas. what do you mean by the real target in dallas? >> it's a congress -- con have a luted -- i think all of them are nonsense. i think we have to bring it down to the psychology and mind set of lee harvey oswald the killer. what i've attempted to do is go to the core of his motive for picking up the weapon on november 22nd. >> you had to put two things together. the first is the attitude toward kennedy. where he had absolutely no -- for the president at all. admired the president for his policies. the change in military danger from honorable to dishonorable. he appealed to connelly to change it in 1962 and that hounded him to change him and hounded him for the next year and a half. and i believe he put the face of connelly on the frustration. he had a rage and anger against connelly. but not such an attitude toward kennedy at all. >> how did you do the 50 years later? >> a biography of john connelly in 1989. in fact, i was on booktv back there in 1989. on that. it was a 1680 page dallas s

lee harvey oswald weighs 135 pounds and 26 years old, but three witnesses describe a middle-aged man, heavy set, balding, and wearing glasses m indeed, horn rimmed glasses two out of the three say. now you have eyewitness testimony and a finger print that ties lyndon johnson. why is oswald? on the second floor where he said he was. the warrant commission says that a dallas police officer finds him 75 minutes after the last shot. they asked us to believe that oswald had time to hide a rifle and run down four flights of stairs because the elevator's cut off as electricity is down in the building. indeed, as i say in the book, a woman, mrs. butler, says she was on the stairs at that crucial time and saw, and more importantly, heard no lee harvey oswald because it's a wooden staircase in the 20s. if anyone was on it, they'd hear that. it explains when oswald approached by a police officer is not emotional, but sipping on a coca-cola because he's on the second floor eating lunch when malcolm wallace shoots at least one of the shots. now, i conclude that there are more than one shooter. i t

who was lee harvey oswald? >> on the surface lee harvey oswald was a 24-year-old man, a lifelong loser now a high school dropout with delusions of grandeur minimum wage jobs. joined the u.s. marines at age 17. his brother had been a marine. served about three years. didn't do well in the marines, court-martialed twice shooting himself with a derringer pistol once for fighting with a superior rank. stationed in japan worked on you too planes and other things. the only thing oswald learned how to do well in the marine corps was how to shoot a rifle. he was trying to shoot 800 yards without a scope and he got the middle mark. he cheated his way out of the marine corps but claiming his mother needed him, dependency discharge. one day he showed up in moscow and said he wanted to renounce his citizenship. the russians thought he was nuts. he claimed to have secrets. he didn't have anything they didn't know about the you too or the radar. they recognized him for who he was, a fool. so they shipped them off to minsk to

we talked on the program about secretary of state john kerry letting slip his views that lee harvey oswald did not act alone. which raises eyebrows, letting those views out. but it says something about that generation now in leadership circles who don't view this as settled and a lot of people would like it to be settled. that was true then and still feels unsettled to some. >> the importance of having the mission at time was there was a real fear that the country itself might unravel because of this terrible event. at least you had the power of a respected commission saying at the time it's settled. those answered probably may never be reached. i think as i was saying when we were talking before, there's a desire on people's part to not have it just be a random act. such an act that changes history, maybe you want to believe it's part of something bigger. i'm not sure we'll ever know. people still have questions. >> fairly tangled web, right, that the kennedys had weaved at that point whether there were mafia connections and questions about cuba and the soviets that feel still unsettled.

>> they promise safe passage for snowden and lee harvey oswald.can they do the same thing for our athletes? the state department displayed its ineptness and inability to determine whether certain facilities are safe or secure and immune from terrorism. benghazi, example number one. so we have a lack of confidence in what the russians are doing. they say they're going to have 40,000 troops and security personnel there. we also know the state department has issued a travel alert as of last friday. we know that at least three of these so-called black widow terrorists are on the loose in the so-called ring of steel surrounding sochi. we know hundreds of russian troops are killed in that region every year as the result of this chechen crisis that we have and we know there is a man named doku, the chechen tribe leader, he and his band have made threats. doku amarov, that's the kind of osama bin laden of this situation. >> there is the guy right there. >> american teams are very concerned that at least one of the teams has hired its own security unit and
