Of cases every year right were talking two three four million per year and five out of six times women get the custody five out of six that is Something Like almost five hundred percent times more chances that a woman is going to get the custody of the child no matter what so i think if you look at this in the context of of any other type of legal proceeding and the ruling always come down one other you know one way versus the other five out of six times i think that is enough for someone to raise the flag and go hey wait a minute somethings wrong here you cant tell me that that out of the millions and millions of cases that they hear every year the millions of dads that are out there that want shared custody that eighty five percent of those dads are unfit to have custody if that those numbers dont feel right it does seem very lopsided when you think about it and these cases youre referring to a lot of times like divorce courts right. That were suddenly into people who have kids but they need to figure out who the kids go to how much visitation rights how much Child Support a right of one has to play all of these things and ive talked to so many parents across the country men and women both the men seem to echo the same kind of sentiment the whole cross the country these are not men that know each other these are not men that are involved in any of the same groups these are just random people including viewers that have emailed me and they many of them had very similar rulings from different courts in missouri in california and virginia you know how can that be tied its a good question and now many people you know i think its easy to kind of look at that though alternatively and kind of conflate you know what youre talking about which is a fathers rights to their children with kind of that whole Mens Rights Movement and that like antifeminism. And you know would be anti woman or anti mom and right thing how how are you addressing that kind of criticism i mean where is the line in this debate i would say to the people that criticize the fathers Rights Movement those are the those are the people that are are making this a zero sum game by saying that dads also love their children also want to see their children being near them does not mean mom should it does not mean that theyre putting moms down it just means dad wants their kids to and that there should be some system of equality thats spread through this country because right now its operating on a fifty year old ideology of mom is the caretaker and dad is the breadwinner and those are their roles in society societys changed that was the question i was going to ask you is what why or why are we seeing that kind of discrepancy what did you find that really the people you talk to in your special the eighty five percent of the big yeah thats a big not. Its a big difference i was expecting maybe sixty eight now i can expect a little bit more leniency towards bombs but youre not you know thats cute got to sort of what where it was what it what points to that discrepancy right now from what im learning from all the experts ive spoken to in the legal field in the psychiatric field. People seem to say that these are again just based on antiquated old american ideals of what a Nuclear Family looks like and what peoples roles are and these judges are slowly starting to retire and move out and giving way to people with modern belief that as a dad and also parents as well as mom thats good stuff in the military thank you very much for coming on talking about definitely check out a special airing here on r. T. And online or to dot com definitely check that out all right as we go to break card watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered on facebook and twitter sphere full tilt at r. T. Dot com coming up author and filmmaker sullivan and the hawks nest to discuss this page from the book on the murder of robert f. Kennedy in the questions still surrounding the tragic events events today stay to watch the. When people discuss historys most shocking political assassinations but decades later still raised more questions than answers the case that usually first comes to mind is the tragic killing of president john f. Kennedy and the neverending back and forth of the roles of Lee Harvey Oswald fidel castro Lyndon Johnson and the countrys intelligence agencies and had in the stand a Little Mystery surrounding it but what gets lost in the polarizing world of j. F. K. Assassination theories and debates is the much more startling and frankly bizarre facts surrounding the murder of j. F. K. His brother and president ial front runner robert f. Kennedy gunned down in a Los Angeles Hotel kitchen hours after winning a crucial president ial primary but according to researchers Jane Osullivan and many others are of kays convicted assassin simply cannot be the only one culpable in the killing here is what he had to say. Historically in the early seventys and witness testimony established that surround wasnt in the right position and he was too far away from Bobby Kennedy to actually be the person who had killed him im sorry i was in front of Bobby Kennedy at the barrel of this gun that was just a footnote have to five feet away of corn into the witness testimony and the autopsy tells us that the fatal shot was fired from an inch behind Bobby Kennedys right here so that was really the starting point for the alternative view of the assassination in the early seventys and in recent years and the only audio recording of the shooting and then the lessons of that has this not just the thirteen shots were fired in the country sinister hand gun only held eight bullets all of those were expended but with five other witnesses are five other bystanders injured in the pantry. Shots hitting Bobby Kennedys body one going through a shoulder pad two bullet holes found in country door frames and then the audio recording that thirteen shots were fired that pretty clearly establishes in my mind that there were two shooters in the country that night because of the body position and because the syrians mental state at the time i gravely doubt that he was the one who killed Bobby Kennedy i believe there was a second gunman involved lets talk a little bit because i think in this day and age because of television we really like to see forensic evidence and understand how that tells a story what are those you explain a few of them what are the the main inconsistency is that you notice between sort of the cold hard forensic evidence and the official version of events can you kind of walk us through those. Sure well you know in terms of the official story certain was the one who was caught in the pantry he was waving a gun and Bobby Kennedy fell three shots were fired into kennedys body and it seemed an open and shut case that certain was apprehended and certain was the when he killed him. But i think the strongest for us forensic testimony we have today is the audio recording of the gunshots which at the time because it was recorded on a cassette tape in a portable by a portable tape recorder by a Police Reporter it wasnt seen as of any forensic value by the police when they first examined it because they didnt have the technology to analyze it as its a fairly poor recording to analyze it to the degree that its been on lies in recent years so they couldnt establish that there were shots on the tape at the time but a recent analysis by Phil Van Praag has established a thirteen shots were fired so i think thats the strongest evidence that we have that there were two shooters involved also the body position. In relation to kennedy and what the autopsy tells us about where the killer was when he far that is. And then just behind kennedys right ear the. Contrast the conflict between body position on the firing position because by the autopsy to me the strongest forensic audio forensic evidence that we have and just just to clarify that for our audience at home just so i understand it as well the original statement of the original official story was that he was standing in front of Bobby Kennedy when he shot him but the injuries show that he would have had to standing behind him because Bobby Kennedy was shot at least one shot with from behind by dizzy or correct. Thats a pretty big yeah i think you know the way. Theres been there yeah its a massive discrepancy between the autopsy findings. And it came up at the grand jury and even two days after the shooting and one of them asked him prosecutors in los angeles. Couldnt couldnt believe that it was fired from three inches because none of the witnesses had said sir at the barrel of their handgun was that within three inches of kennedy so if you closely examine the witness testimony there is a big disparity between the firing position behind kennedy and behind his right ear and started firing position which was in front of kennedy the barrel of his gun one and a half to five feet away exactly you know it would be interesting to figure this through his store and the you know he was you know convicted of the crime went to jail but it really a lot of when you look at the mr mystery around this guy im reminded a lot of like you know a leos wild type of figure you know in that sense that there was still many moving parts around this guy that dont really add up walk us through some of the things that you discovered about. In the research for your book because the guy is truly one of those wildly wonderful mysterious character figures in history at this point. And yeah and i mean i guess hes the closest thing we have to a real life manchurian candidate if you if you examine his story closely i mean at the defense like just at the time prior to trial they walked him back through this juicing and tried through you know jog his recall and put her on a mental hypnosis to try to remember this do you think and they became convinced that he was in a hypnotic state at the time of this shooting in the pantry of the investor hotel on the june fifth one nine hundred sixty eight and that may sound like quite a wild theory but actually he was in through his nose at the time he spent a lot of his time hypnotizing himself with the crystal in his room and writing very strange automatic writing in a notebook that was laid. Found and submitted the evidence and it had no tensions and repetitions of phrases like are of k. Must die our famous be assassinated before june five one hundred sixty eight in terms of the motive that was used trial june five nine hundred sixty seven had been the start of the arab israeli war the six day war in which the arabs had been completely vanquished by the Israeli Forces and kennedy had made Campaign Promises during his campaign perhaps partly to to you know in terms of the with the jewish vote in mind that he would pay for their sentiment of fifty bombers that had been lost by the israelis during that conflict so that promise to buy fifty found some jets was cited as evidence of why sir one may have wanted to kill Bobby Kennedy and why he may have gone to the pine tree that night but if you actually look at the steps that he took towards the path towards the Ambassador Hotel that night it was really by complete accident that he went there here and there was a party going on and his friend didnt turn up. And he made his way down basically just to try and meet girls and try to have a good time out out of party and they didnt find out later that kennedys kind of the reception was there for the California Democratic primary. And later there was an encounter with a girl in the poke about dress who some believe gave him the cue to actually enact hypnotic program and kill kennedy its incredible when you when you look at the story but then when you look at like you know comparatively around that same time you also suddenly had you know the investigations going on like by rockefeller and church where you saw that the cia and other u. S. Covert agencies were experimenting with that kind of. Thing and dale and i mean all through it like all of those it is something that theyve admitted. And admitted to doing or at least trying to do do you think thats the cot thats a her but you realize that that. Well i think thats an interesting point because this is you know obviously the trial of saddam was january sixty nine so it was i think eight years before any of the tricks stuff really came out and before the public and investigators were aware of it so it seemed even more while at the time because there was nothing out in the public apart from you know the manchurian candidate movie and book which which may have been somewhat inspired by rumors that this stuff was going on but we didnt know really until the mid to late seventys that the cia had been trying to create a program to soften and whether it be cia or whether it be other nefarious forces there was clearly an attempt to create i have another key programs assassin who once they did the deed wouldnt have would have an easier for the event and this in a sense would be the perfect assassins they wouldnt be able to remember what happened to them and theyd be the perfect property. Even in terms of a book this recently come out in the last months by in the Israeli Intelligence analyst he in that book he mentions that the israelis were trying to create a brainwashed assassin in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight before they they had bonded efforts apparently so definitely this was something that the intelligence agencies worldwide were trying to create as a means to i guess get rid of whatever targets they deemed necessary and make it look and thats the thing i think for people at home the idea of doing that would be because then you sort of are able to say lone wolf its not connected to anything islam is its not its just some crazy person and lost it so who do you think its using that as an example the thought it was a set up to do that to you who do you think was behind that or what is your evidence in your book that you know sort of lead to you to believe who was behind this well and. You know ultimately why do you think he was killed i mean you know we have the. Error israeli situation going on do you think that was the not to do that someone would have asked it would be odd i would not think it wouldnt. Mean i think in all of these cases perhaps in the j. F. K. Case with oswald as well i mean you see a pattern in terms of the legend being created around a certain character who is being set up for the fall in this isolation of this kind of a sleeve with oswald it was the cuban situation he was apparently pro castro and he was doing it you know partly for those motivations and those reasons obviously. The prorogue political beliefs of her hand the fact he was a loner that he didnt have many many friends who could track his movements or track any of his strange behavior all of this in a sense made him the perfect fall guy for an operation like this i think what you also have to acknowledge with an operation like this is that a lot of resources go into it in terms of whitening it clean and leaving very few traces of who was actually behind it and who pulled the trigger in terms of the second gunman and the fascinating thing for me in terms of writing the book and making a film about this case is talking to a kind of former intelligence or former Police Professionals who basically say at this level for this kind of assassination only the shadow knows in terms of who the second gunman was i mean they would be a professional hit man they would come in they would do the job they would get out of there i was the older panda monium around and. Come pain victory speech two minutes later going into the pantry seventy seven people being in a very low ceiling crowded room dimly lit room it would be fairly easy to escape and not to leave and leave any traces that make it very hard for some like me to come around and come along you know forty years later and say who did water whos got what i think at this stage its more important fifty years later we acknowledge the. Opinions of those closest to the case in this case that would be Robert Kennedy jr and Bobby Kennedys son who has gone on record two years ago surrounds last parole hearing saying he wanted the case reopened on the strength of the audio forensic evidence in this case and paul scrapes who is very very close friend of Bobby Kennedy who was walking eight feet behind him in the night is choosing i was talking to had he believes by spirit and he has tried to reopen the case for over forty five years because now ninety three years old he was actually you know probably in all probability by star hunt on that night and he believed did not kill his close friend Bobby Kennedy so if you have people of that caliber believing that its to be a i dont i reopened investigation and that surround was not responsible for killing Bobby Kennedy and i think you know they california authorities in federal federalists are authorities to pay some attention to that rather than just chasing after you know who the gunman was at this stage if theyre still alive and who may have paid for the bullets. Government perhaps moving stuff we should definitely check out because corker its a great read art of a body that is our show for you to day in this world we are. Told the wall. I rolled with people watching the hawks a great. Body. In america a College Degree requires a great deal. Of study. And i think its a sign. Sometimes quite literally.

Breaking news this hour the United States indicts thirteen russian nationals over alleged meddling in americas twenty sixteen president ial election. On a visit to ankara americas top diplomat attempts to improve worsening relations with teenager ally turkey thats as tensions grow in syria of a washington support for kurdish groups the he considers to be terrorists. And the live experience is being embraced by competitors from around the world at the winter games in south korea with rivals theyre helping each other around. This specific russian athlete he offered me help technical help the fact that he was willing to reach out and help me insights like a desperate time shows that sport can bridge you know cultures it can bridge paul. Harvey this is our international we start with breaking news this hour the u. S. Justice department has indicted thirteen russian nationals over alleged meddling in americas two thousand and sixteen president ial election. Live from new york with the latest what information can you visit this early point. Well the u. S. Department of justice has released an indictment alleging that thirteen individuals and three people three corporations or entities in russia were involved in meddling in the us elections theyre now being charged now its important to point out there is no actual crime under u. S. Law known as meddling so these individuals are actually being charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States the violations of the federal Elections Commission act as well as violations of the Foreign Agents registration act those are the charges and its basically alleged that these thirteen individuals as well as these three entities were somehow trying to influence americans in the process of the election that somehow they bought facebook advertisements they engaged in wire or Bank Transactions on a fraudulent basis that they that they were somehow promoting donald trump and denigrating Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign americans then saw this and this could have affected the Election Results thats what whats basically alleged in the indictment now the entities that are named are the Internet Research group the Concord Management corporation as well as the Concord Catering Company those are the three individuals listed those are the three corporations listed and then there are thirteen individuals that are named now we have heard from the u. S. Department of justice they said they have not attempted to contact any of the thirteen individuals that they named now they are all in russia theyre not in the United States so its not like theyre going to go apprehend them and arrest them there entities and people in russia it hasnt even tried to contact them and that it would follow the normal extradition process so it would be contacting the russian government under standard procedure in asking them to extradite them to the United States in order to stand charges these are not individuals in the u. S. Theyre not going to be tracking anybody down and these are individuals in russia now one of the individuals has already spoken up the individual who is listed first. In the indictment basically pinned is the mastermind he spoke up and said that americans are quite impressionable and that if they want to see the devil they will and that was his comment on these alleged charges now its it is interesting that this indictment came down in the aftermath of a Horrendous School shooting in the United States the country is still reacting to the School Shooting that took place on wednesday and which seventeen High School Students lives were taken and its been widely reported in American Media that the f. B. I. Received not just one one tip off center the student the shooter had announced on social media that he was going to carry out this attack but twice we have the i was contacted about the fact that this student had had essentially announced his plan to carry out a School Shooting on social media so we see this this announcement we see the f. B. I. Was tipped off there got to be millions of americans that are now asking themselves you know if the f. B. I. Were a little more focused on stopping School Shooters and a little less concerned about russian facebook ads potentially convincing americans to vote in a certain way is it possible that seventeen students might be alive in florida that question has got to be on peoples minds but as of yet this indictment will essentially will not result in people being apprehended little centrally a service as almost defacto sanctions from the u. S. Department of justice against these individuals they will be unable to travel to the United States because of course they would then be apprehended and furthermore they will be unable to open Bank Accounts in the United States and such you know the likelihood of them being actually extradited to the United States is rather slim but they will be following the standard extradition procedure now we also understand that u. S. President donald trump has been briefed by the Justice Department on this matter. Thanks capable to bring this brought up today live from new york ok lets stay with the story and discuss it with the genius state senator of Richard Black joins me on the line now nice to have you on with us richard lets just get your initial reaction then to these indictments what would you personally think about them. I have to have to read through them but from what i hear it sounds like. Rather trivial accusations one of the interesting things that came out was the. Then apparently they claim that. The russians were trying to influence americans towards voting either for Bernie Sanders or for donald trump well. The campaign of Bernie Sanders and donald trump both said that they wanted to normalize relations with russia and so its only reasonable that russian citizens would prefer to have someone whos not threatening now with nuclear war so i dont think that thats unusual and frankly that the fact that emails were leaked i dont i dont trust any of the intelligence agencies around the world blind to challenge us who leaked those emails. We know that julian or sloan with wiki leaks who who disseminated the emails has said hes fairly well implied that it was someone within the Democrat National committee and then they said well they put out fake emails about what is a fake email and something that you disagree with apparently. And this idea that somehow the russians wanted to create chaos in the election you dont set out to create chaos you set out to have one person win and one person loose thirty thats the only way that you accomplish anything chaos is nothing chaos which in a tree in achieves nothing whatsoever. Richard of just reading the quote from a News ConferenceDeputy Attorney general wrote rosenstein said that it hasnt been alleged in any way that the meddling that is that is suggested it altered the election outcome if theres no suggestion that this altered the outcome of an election where more than one hundred twenty Million People voted why is this Headline News if theres no substance there is this just another attempt to hate. More pressure and ask more questions about the legitimacy of the donald trump presidency. Well i think i think you are correct about that. You know they came out a couple of months ago and they said big news was that they had discovered that one hundred thousand dollars been spent on facebook and by people who were in russia well im going to tell you one hundred thousand dollars in facebook ads is nothing it is it is so trivial and so. And they even said that that hundred thousand in ads some of them were for clinton and some of them were for for trump and i think thats where they first started talking about this idea of creating chaos but what it what does that do what does that it cheap for anyone. No matter who they are to to spend half for one candidate half or the other they cancel each other out and one hundred thousand dollars is nothing i mean thats thats like throwing a penny to a beggar it has no impact whatsoever on an election so to to a certain extent i think that Robert Muller is struggling to keep alive. His position especially special counsel. The special counsel has already earned seven Million Dollars when you become a special counsel you have an open checkbook to the u. S. Treasury and you are guaranteed to become a mega millionaire if you can simply drag out the proceedings i suspect that this is just a case of dragging out the proceedings throwing out some some indictments on some silly things not not registering as a Foreign Agent that. Typically is not prosecuted. But theyre prosecuting it in this case because theyre running out of there and they try to make all kinds of claims there simply is nothing there to go after so unless there is something when i read through the indictments it comes out as a surprise and i think this is more about more of a headline grabber than it is anything of real substance and indeed it is grabbing the headlines just looking at Mainstream Media headlines russians charged over us election time bring that even alleged in the headlines so that the striking headlines is going to have a lot of people thinking well that must be something that if winning headlines like this how does
