Starting in 1965, summer after summer, America's cities burned. There was civil unrest in more than 150 cities across the country. So in 1967, Lyndon Johnson appointed a commission to diagnose the root causes of the problem and to suggest solutions. What the so called "Kerner Commission" returned with was hotly anticipated and shocking to many Americans. This week, how that report and the reaction to it continues to shape American life.

LTC John Griscom - Oh. I didn't realize that you were one of those Soros conspiracy theorists guys. Had I known that earlier, I would have responded differently.

Prickett with all due respect Trump isn't part of the solution but exposed it! It's been in hiding remotely in American cities since the early 2000s. Occupy wallstreet was just one of their many movements to disrupt every day lives of Americans.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Then why would a Nazi-turned-Communist who has stated. on record, that he wants to destroy America not be considered in the mix when he has contributed mega-bucks to the Democrats. That's fact, not theory.

LTC John Griscom - for the same reason that rich Christian Nationalists, like the Wilks brothers, who have stated on the record that they want to destroy the protection of the Constitution for other religions, want to establish Biblical law in the United States, and have contributed mega-bucks to the Republicans. That's also fact. I won't use the word "theory" in the colloquial sense, I view it in the scientific sense where a theory is as strong as a position can get, where it can't go any higher.
