you mentioned that you saw the oliver stone film. you read the book on the assassination? >> i tried to stay away from it. i read the warren commission report and i wrote that i read bill manchester's booked-i read still- i read phil manchester's book. he disproved a lot of theories that were out there. what concerns me, in some ways, we had an agent who was manning the a r-15 and another that was an expert on project three and firearms and they stated that this agent stood up and when the car moved out, he fell backward and accidental shot the president. edelman that is a curator at the sixth floor museum happened to dig out a film and found out that the agent by the name of hickey had not even stood up. he was in the process of starting to stand up when the third shot fired. if he had fired the shot at that time, it would have gone right between other agents and would have had to go through the windshield of the follow car. that book is still on the market. >> what happens when you are out in public? can you go through meeting people outhouse out kinney go through and th

., the oliver stone movie about the george w. bush administration? thank you. >> guest: i will confess that i have a pretty serious moratorium against oliver stone movies. and i haven't watched it on cable. there was no way i was going to plunk down money at the theater for it. so i would just have to plead the fifth. i should not say take this because as nothing i can and commitments appear in terms of archie bunker, it's the easiest place for liberals to go. and receive is right now, right this huge debate going on right now about why obama got in trouble, why has the problems he has. and a big chunk of the rationalization obama seems to be giving himself is that the stupid americans don't realize how dumb they are, or how scared they are, and panicky they are that they don't understand the truth and reason and enlightened wisdom when they hear it. that was obama's argument about western pennsylvania. basically is just a bunch of archie bunker's, rural archie bunker's out in the hinterland , you know, clinging to their religion and their firearms a
