GRITtv: Collapse: Portrait of a Loner

Michael Ruppert is a former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter who predicted the financial meltdown that most politicians claimed no one had seen coming. Ruppert has plenty of other apocalyptic theories, from peak oil to drugs to, yes, 9/11. In the new film "Collapse," filmmaker Chris Smith follows Ruppert and looks into his theories. Is he a genius, or just paranoid? The film allows you to make your own judgments, while showing the risks and rewards of having -- and publishing -- unpopular opinions. Smith joined Laura in the studio to discuss his film and whether or not he believes Ruppert.
