where they're demanding answers from the powerful but it's not just investigative journalists like scahill who see this glaring problem even former n.b.c. anchor tom brokaw has acknowledged what a disservice this is doing to the public take a look at what. we present to the rest of the country are we doing their business or are we just a group of narcissus who are mostly interested in elevating our own profiles and what comes through the screen on c.-span and that is the latter the former but while scahill and brokaw clearly get it the majority of journalists sadly don't and that's the real problem. we have all of these elite figures in bed together and each other favors and worst of all completely losing sight of the job the public depends on them to do it's quite obvious that the watchdogs have become nothing more than lap dogs gathering together now not to discuss their role in turning this failed democracy around but instead to celebrate their own power and influence so cheers to the decline of journalism guys because it's plummeting faster than you can say bottoms up. welcome to teal

joining us now is its author, jeremy scahill. i should point out, jeremy, the book is also the subject of a documentary you yourself have made. let me start by asking you about the motivation of these two individuals. because your book suggests that the actions of america overseas have been directly provocative in terms of encouraging people in some kind of holy war against america. >> right. i mean, first of all, at the risk of seeming out of place on cable news, i don't really want to speculate as to what the motives of these guys actually were. a lot of what we understand right now -- >> that's not speculation. it's according to the -- this is according to interviews conducted at the bedside of dzhokhar tsarnaev. >> i'm saying that we're seeing these leaked into the media from investigators. if you remember what happened after the raid on osama bin laden's compound, almost every single thing that john brennan said happened in that room that night didn't happen. there wasn't the use of a woman as a human shield. you know, there

here now national security correspondent for the nation jeremy scahill, also the author of the book,ld. this looks amazing. let's start, first of all, with the book. and what, you know, the overall unveiling is in the book. what we don't know about what's going on around the world and what we're trying to carry out. >> this book tells the story of how a very popular democratic president barack obama who by trade is a constitutional lawyer expanded some of the most egregious secretive aspects around the world expanding drone strikes, using proxy forces and mercenaries, working with war lords in somalia. and expanding the battlefield that the joint special operations command operates in and also the cia, and also get very in-depth into the story of this u.s.-born radical who was killed in a drone strike in september 2011. i'm not sure many americans know this, but three u.s. citizens were killed in a two-week period in operations authorized by president obama. and one of the people killed was actually a 16-year-old u.s. citizen who was sitting having lunch -- excuse me, dinner with his

"the rachel maddow show" starts now. good evening. >> good evening, chris. thanks very much and thanks for staying with us the next hour. i have breaking news to give you right now. this is brand-new from nbc news. this is pete williams. several officials familiar with the initial interrogation of dzhokhar tsarnaev at the hospital in boston describe him as cooperative, a senior government official tells nbc news that tsarnaev has told them by writing some answers and by nodding yes or shaking his head no to others that he and his brother were not in touch with any overseas terrorists or groups. and that they conceived the bombing attack on their own, motivated he told them by religious fervor. they got their instructions on how to make bombs from the internet, he said, according to these officials. again, that is breaking news from just moments ago from pete williams at nbc news. we'll give you more on

this is a story that jeremy scahill went to investigate, former democracy now producer, with his film"dirty wars" that's coming out. he went and met with the al-awlaki family. but not only did president obama have awlaki killed, you know, without trial, without charge, a drone attack in yemen kills not only anwar al-awlaki whether you think what he is saying is right or you think it's absolutely reprehensible, he was an american citizen, and you have to ask this question should we be doing it to anyone? killing this american citizen, then two weeks later dropping another missile, bomb, drone strike on his son who was born in denver, 16 years old. what did his son do? and, actually, senator paul raised this question, what was his crime? that he was the son of his father? these are very serious questions. i would expand rand paul's questions to not only u.s. citizens, but anyone. but it was very significant what he did on that day. >> host: bill in washington, d.c., thanks for holding. you're on the air on booktv with amy goodman. >> caller: ms. goodman, how are you doing? >> guest: goo
