[23:30] SIMON HANKINSON, The Heritage Foundation: The Senate bill shows that it does not accomplish really anything in terms of border security or immigration reform. But, as I said, politically, it's a pretty handy cudgel. It actually makes the situation worse. It would lock in about two million illegal crossers a year who would be added to the pile in the sort of limbo that is our immigration asylum processing system.
[26:56] KARIM KHAN: Well, investigations are organic. We are going to keep on going, as with the determination, to investigate the various crimes that seem to have been committed in an ongoing campaign, not only against the Ukrainian military born from the acts of aggression, but also causing so much loss to innocent civilian life.
[30:53] NICK SCHIFRIN: Mr. Prosecutor, this week, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, released this statement -- quote -- "The comparison made by the prosecutor in The Hague between the prime minister and defense minister of Israel, which is fighting numerous Hamas terrorism in accordance with the laws of war, and the war criminal Yahya Sinwar, who executed Israeli hostages in cold blood is pure antisemitism and a moral disgrace of the highest order." What's your response to that?
KARIM KHAN: Look, this is a trope that is bandied around with abandon, even when it's not only repugnant and completely false.
[32:15] KARIM KHAN: Hamas, of course, is a proscribed organization in many countries. I don't shed a tear for individuals. What I do say is that there is a utility to the application of the law. But, of course, the law is operating in a space in which there are legitimate military targets and there are military operations under way. I won't speak beyond that because there is a conflict. But the law has utility, and I'm very much in favor of the equal application of the law.
[33:07] KARIM KHAN: Absolutely. Every individual must comply with the law. We have jurisdiction over the territory of Palestine. It's abhorrent. As long as we have jurisdiction, we will try our best to make sure that the arc bends towards legality. Nobody should feel that they can do whatever they want.
[38:19] WILLIAM BRANGHAM: One of the most harrowing stories is a story about a man named Gilberto Melendez-Brancaccio, who was taken to a Steward hospital when he was having a psychiatric break.
[41:55] AMNA NAWAZ: Let me ask you about your entry into that world, because there's this one case in particular, sort of infamous New York case called the Palladium murder back in 1990. There was a nightclub bouncer who was shot and killed on Thanksgiving Day. Two men are convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life for that murder. You called that whole case your window into this world, into the dark side of the justice system. Why?
DAN SLEPIAN: It was my baptism. I was out to dinner one night with a detective who I was shadowing a couple of weeks into our project. And I said: "You must bring this job home with you, everything you see?" And he says: "I really don't, except this one case has been bothering me."
[48:26] Today, there are some 10,000 abandoned buildings throughout the city, including Union Station, making Gary something of a mecca for people like Lori and Tyrell who are drawn to urbex, or urban exploration.
[48:57] JEFFREY BROWN: More than a decade ago, Lori and Tyrell became the backbone of an informal group that called themselves Decay Devils, traveling to cities like Detroit and far beyond to explore and photograph abandoned structures.
