stie and scott walker. it's just april 2015 but already it's choosing time. that's it for "inside politics." thanks again for sharing your special sunday morning especially this special easter and passover weekend. israel's prime minister blasts a deal he says threatens the country. is the ncaa cheating student athletes, and finding faith in a world of turmoil. this is "state of the union." israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu slams the new deal with iran. senator dianne feinstein says give iran a chance. easter and passover collide with religious controversy. the ncaa faces new scrutiny on a huge weekend for college sports. good morning from washington. i'm jim acosta. breaking news. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu expressing his anger over the new deal brokered with iran.

he joins us from jerusalem. mr. prime minister thanks for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. let's get right to it. as you probably heard from the president last week he said there are three options for dealing with iran's nuclear program, that is to bomb iran and to start a war essentially in the middle east continue the sanctions as they stand now or take this deal. is he wrong about that? >> well i think the alternatives are not either this bad deal or war. i think there's a third alternative and that is standing firm, racheting up the pressure until you get a better deal. a better deal would roll back iran's vast nuclear infrastructure and require them to stop their terror worldwide and its call to action to annihilate the state of israel. that's a better deal. it's achievable. >> why does this deal not roll back iran's nuclear program? initially it was thought that their program would be on hold ten years. it turns out that portions of

this deal extend that out to 15 years and beyond that. why can't you live with this deal? >> it doesn't roll back iran's nuclear program. it keeps a vast nuclear infrastructure in place. not a single centrifuge is destroyed. not a single nuclear facility is shut down including the underground facilities that they built illicitly. thousands of centrifuges will keep spinning enriching uranium. that's a bad deal. secondly iran is going to have sanctions lifted including crippling sanctions pretty much up front. that's going to have billions and billions of dollars flow into the iranian coiffeurs. not for schools or roads, but to pump up iran's terror machine throughout the world. it's a military machine that's engaged throughout the world. so i think that's very bad. third, the restrictions that are placed on iran are only temporary. after a few years iran will have

unlimited capacity to build unlimited nuclear infrastructure. that's very bad. that's what's in the deal. now here's what's not in the deal. the ending of their icbms, that's not in the deal. those missiles are only used for you. they're not used for us. they have missiles that can reach us and are geared for nuclear weapons. secondly no one is asking iran at all in this deal to stop its aggression in the region and its calls to annihilate israel. >> clearly the white house has said -- >> that's bad for israel the region and the world. >> you said it would threaten your country's survival. you stand by that? >> absolutely. if a country that vows to annihilate us and is working every day with conventional means and unconventional means to achieve that end, if that country has a deal that paves its way to nuclear weapons, many nuclear weapons, it endangers our survival. i'll tell you what else will happen. i think it will also spark an

arms race with the sunni states because they understand exactly what i just said. >> let me ask you about this. >> it will threaten us and our neighbors. >> let me ask you this though mr. prime minister. if you continue the sanctions as they stand or even strengthen them doesn't the risk exist then that iran will take its program further underground, that the international community will not have any kind of inspection process to look at what's going on in iran and that their breakout time line could be shortened dramatically and that they could become a nuclear weapon power state in short order? isn't that the risk you run with your approach? >> no. i think quite the contrary. first of all, i wouldn't bet the shop on inspections because totalitarian regimes have a way of cheating. iran has cheated in the past. north korea. they said the same arguments about north korea, if will make them peaceful make them abandon their program and the opposite has happened.

what is happening with this deal is that what has been illegitimate is being legitimized. iran's nuclear program is being legitimized. they're given the ability not only to maintain their infrastructure but within a few years to increase it. they don't have to violate it. they can walk into many bombs. i think that's very dangerous. i think what is required is the application of very strong sanctions that have proven effective. they were only applied, financial sanctions and the oil sanctions, tough, biting sanctions were applied for the first time in 2012 got them immediately to the table. if they weren't together when you get to the table, why when you get to the table do you start lifting them immediately. they do work. that's what's required. there's still time to get a better deal and apply pressures on iran to abandon, roll back the program and stop the vast aggression. >> mr. prime minister you know that your critics pointed out that back in 2012 at the u.n.

you held up that picture of a bomb and talked about how close iran was to acquiring a nuclear weapon. we have the video. we're showing it on screen. you said that iran would have enough enriched uranium to make a bomb by the summer of 2013. weren't you wrong about that, sir? >> no. it's in fact the applications of the pressures exactly at that time that rolled iran back. i think it proves exactly the point that i'm making here. if you press iran strongly enough what seems unrealistic today becomes realistic tomorrow. if you said a few years ago -- few said that the syrian regime of bashar assad would remove all the chemicals from syria, would destroy and remove dismantle and remove from syria all the material and weapons making -- chemical weapons that they have you'd of said that's unrealistic. that would have been true then. but the application of subsequent pressure on syria produced exactly the result that we need here.

so what's unrealistic today with sufficient application of pressure will become realistic for iran tomorrow as well. >> let me ask you this mr. prime minister. you had speaker john boehner there in israel. how much are you coordinating with him, the republican strategy up on capitol hill to block this deal? >> i'm not approaching it on a partisan basis. i've talked to about 2/3 of the representatives of the united states house of representatives and probably an equal number of senators from both sides of the aisle. this is not a partisan issue. this is not even solely an israeli issue. this is a world issue because everyone is going to be threatened by the preeminent terrorist state of our time. getting -- keeping the ifrastructure to produce not one nuclear bomb but many many nuclear bombs down the line. that's a palpable danger to the peace of the world and i think it should concern everybody, republicans, democrats, independents i don't care. and the citizens who want a

peaceful world from every nation. >> how much is your very tense and let's be frank here uncomfortable relationship with the president driving your opposition to this? >> not at all. i don't think this is a personal issue between me and the president and the president and me. we had a respectful hour long conversation the other day as befits two allies two democracies. israel views the u.s. as a great ally and i think america has no greater ally in the world than the u.s. >> do you trust the president? do you trust the president, mr. prime minister? >> i trust that the president is doing what he thinks is good for the united states but i think that we can have a legitimate difference of opinion on this because i think iran has shown to be completely distrustful. it's not a country that you can place your trust in and it's not a country that you're going to

resolve its congenital cheating. you're not going to replace it by placing more -- >> you said you trust the president to do what's best for the united states but do you trust him? >> i think it's not a question of personal trust. of course we have a mutual respectful relationship and i always respect both the presidency of the united states and this president of the united states but as the prime minister of the one and only jewish state, when i see a country of terrorist regime committed to our destruction, and not only to our destruction, having the path a clear path to the bomb it's my obligation to speak out as i'm doing now, as i'll do in any form. >> mr. prime minister you've seen the reaction in the israeli press to this deal. i want to put a quote up on the screen from a columnist in her e r haaretz. he said this is not a bad deal.

israel will have a hard time fighting this or portraying it as bad if iran upholds the terms, the nuclear threat will be severely mitigated. isn't it true you represent all israelis but you don't speak for all israelis when it comes to this deal. >> i was just re-elected by a fairly substantial margin. the people knew what my position was on iran. let me tell you this the argument -- there was no argument in the elections about iran. people said we share the prime minister's views on iran. a major figure published in his blog the complete support of my position on iran. i think that the overwhelming majority of israelis understand that iran seeks our destruction. they don't buy the notion that iran has spent vast billions on a peaceful program. iran is awash of oil and gas for their grandchildren's

grandchildren. everybody understands they want a path to nuclear weapons. everybody understands that instead of putting the pressure on them to stop the program, change their policy in fact the opposite is happening with this proposed deal. they're getting a free path to the bomb. the sanctions are removed. they're continuing their aggression as we speak. a few days ago a senior iranian general said the destruction of israelonnegotiable. i guarantee you, we're a real democracy. a real democracy. but in our real democracy the overwhelming majority of israelis support the position i just put forward because they know their life is on the line. >> all right. we'll have to leave it there, mr. prime minister. we appreciate your time this morning. thank you, sir. >> thank you. will congress support or scuttle the iran nuclear deal? we'll ask california senator dianne feinstein about that and the massive drought in her state. and later, is the organization

that runs college sports cheating its athletes? most of the products we all buy are transported on container ships. before a truck delivers it to your store, a container ship delivered it to that truck. here in san diego, we're building the first one ever to run on natural gas. ships this big running this clean will be much better for the environment. we're proud to be a part of that. people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help.

i'm caridee. i've had moderate to severe plaque psoriasis most my life. but that hasn't stopped me from modeling. my doctor told me about stelara®. it helps keep my skin clearer. with only 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses... ... stelara® helps me be in season. stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and increase your risk of infections. some serious infections require hospitalization. before starting stelara®... ...your doctor should test for tuberculosis. stelara® may increase your risk of cancer. always tell your doctor if you have

any sign of infection, have had cancer, or if you develop any new skin growths. do not take stelara® if you are allergic to stelara® or any of its ingredients. alert your doctor of new or worsening problems including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems- these may be signs of a rare, potentially fatal brain condition. serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you or anyone in your house needs or has recently received a vaccine. in a medical study most stelara® patients saw at least 75% clearer skin... ...and the majority were rated as cleared or minimal at 12 weeks. stelara® helps keep my skin clearer. ask your doctor about stelara®.

the surveillance and inspection and transparency runs 20 to 25 years for everything all the centrifuges, the mills, the production facilities for yellow cake go out to 25 years of iaea surveillance and inspection. so dependent upon how strong that is and a precondition has to be that there's going to be a real rededication in the iaea to do the kind of work that's going to be necessary to do 24/7 365 days a year in the various facilities. but i think that having watched this for a long time and knowing this particular foreign minister i think this is the best that's going to get done.

it's a framework. it has to be wrapped into a final agreement. there still can be some changes, but i don't think it's helpful for israel to come out and oppose this one opportunity to change a major dynamic, which is downhill a downhill dynamic in this part of the world. >> but let me ask you this senator, because obviously prime minister netanyahu is trying to scuttle this deal. he came to washington. he spoke to a joint meeting of congress. he's continuing to speak out on news programs like this one. do you think he is overstepping his bounds as a foreign head of state? >> well i think he's said what he's had to say, and to be candid with you, this can back backfire on him. i wish that he would contain himself because he has put out no real alternative. in his speech to the congress

no real alternative. since then no real alternative. >> his real alternative he says is more sanctions. what's wrong with that? >> well what -- it depends on what you believe more sanctions is going to do. more sanctions will certainly drive the program more underground, make it more difficult. a couple of years ago it had gone in to get this far. it's abetter agreement candidly than i thought it was ever going to be. i think it can be a very serviceable, practical agreement. it can signal a new day. otherwise, we keep this dynamic going, which is not productive of anything that's positive for the region. >> senator, you have a lot of access to intelligence information on the senate intelligence committee. i don't want you to get into classified information, but from what you can say to the american people based on what you know

do you believe that the iranians have been trying to develop nuclear weapons or weaponize their nuclear weapons program up until this point? >> well i can say this that the iranians and the intelligence reflects that of both people i've spoken with and reports i've read that this joint agreement has been carried out over the last couple of years without infraction and i think that's some indication. i believe that this foreign minister and this iranian president, both of whom are moderates, really want to show that there is another way for iran and therefore, giving up this program is worth it. >> let me ask you this because you mentioned the foreign minister zarif a couple of times. it sounds like you trust him. do you trust the iranians? >> i believe he is sincere. i believe president rouhani wants this and the supreme

leader it appears will be agreeable. having said that we have everybody jumping to conclusions in the congress. this agreement has to be written up into a binding kind of agreement, and that's the document that we all need to see. the final document. >> one thing that has been raised as an issue by the israelis is that this will lead to an arms race in the middle east that the saudis will want to develop a nuclear program and perhaps weaponize it thinking that the iranians will be able to do so as a result of this deal. what do you make of that prospect? >> i would say that's true if there's no agreement. see, it's a -- it's a perverse finding. to continue to go the way that this is going that leaves only a military operation as a solution or as -- what some people would say, well we've got leverage in sanctions, take down the whole economy. look there's 77 million people

in iran. i think they deserve more than take down the whole economy. sanctions generally hurt those who can't afford a better way of life and they're not a long-term answer i believe. so i think we're all on the cusp of something that can be workable. i think the key is the 20 to 25 year surveillance inspection period and the changes that have been made. obviously it's a compromise but that's to be expected. and i think this kind of absolutist well no deal is better than a bad deal but we don't know what a good deal would be. no we have no suggestions. it's not very helpful, candidly. >> congress is going to want to have a say in all of this. senator corker the chair of the senate foreign relations committee, he has a bill that says that the congress would have a vote on this final deal that will be reached on -- or could be reached on june 30th. i guess it's not a done deal

yet. how would you vote on that bill today? >> well today i would vote no on that bill. >> why? >> having said that because this is a presidential agreement. the corker legislation as i understand it is going to have a hearing i think on the 14th of april and then it will be marked up in the foreign relations committee. my understanding is there may be changes. so i want to be cautious and wait and see what actually comes out of that committee onto the floor before i really cast my vote. >> and, senator, you're coming to us from the great state of california which is always a beautiful place to visit but sometimes that can come at a price. you haven't had enough rain lately. as a matter of fact, you're in the grips of a massive historic drought. and i just want to run through some of the numbers. i don't know if our viewers across the country really have a grasp of this. this is the amount of water that

california would need to recover from the drought that currently is in that state right now. 11 trillion gallons of rain enough to fill 17 million olympic swimming pools, more than 14,000 times the amount of water to fill the dallas cowboys stadium, no offense to the 49ers, and 1170 days worth of water flow at niagara falls. what can you do about it? >> well i think our snow pack which is a big source of spring runoff for the state, is at 8% of what it should be. that is an historic low. i think it's very serious. we have you know close to 38 million people in this state. it's going to mean mandatory rationing. it's going to mean the fouling of large amounts of agricultural land.

it's going to mean to being able to try to work our systems more efficiently, and it's a very very serious problem. we're trying to put together a bill now that would deal with working the system more effectively and efficiently, and that's a very difficult thing to do. so it remains to be seen if we can do it. >> are we talking about federal relief that will be needed funds that will be needed for california? are we talking about a drought bailout? >> well the governor has just put forward some portion of a billion dollar drought bailout in terms of supplemental commodities, food stuffs purchase of water, that kind of thing. >> i want to switch very quickly with the time that we have left to senator reed who is stepping aside as the minority leader of your party, was the majority leader. it turns out that senator schumer, it appears, will be stepping forward as the new leader of your party in the senate.

there seems to be this disagreement as to whether or not senator durbin will remain the whip. how do you think that situation should be resolved? we know senator reid said these two men should chill out a little bit, i guess? >> well i think chilling out is a good thing to do. this is a year nava way and one of the things that members take very seriously is their seniority. once that's broken it's broken for all time. this is a year and a half away. i think chill out is a good motto for the day. >> how do you think harry readeararry reid should be remembered? >> i think he should be remembered as a strong tough leader who was a master of the inside game. >> was he part of the problem in the senate in terms of not getting things done the gridlock? he blames mitch mcconnell.

mitch mcconnell blames harry reid. >> the majority has the votes. prior to four six years ago we did not require 60 votes for virtually any major measure to pass the senate. clotchur was rarely used. since that time it's been used dozens of times by the minority which were the republicans, to stop the majority from passing a bill. >> all right. well we hope for a break to the weather gridlock out there in california and bring some much-needed relief and much-needed rain to your state. senator dianne feinstein, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you, jim. congress returns on april 13th. the debate over the iran deal will likely be at the top of the agenda. coming up the ncaa says it's not its job to make sure athletes get their education. coming up four religious leaders speak out about the thin line on religion and discrimination. .. suddenly...

you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone so you can breathe and sleep shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. many wrinkle creams come with high hopes, but hope... doesn't work on wrinkles. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair has the fastest retinol formula... to work on fine lines and even deep wrinkles in just one week. neutrogena®.

christians and jews are celebrating easter and passover this week but the message of renewal seems to be obscured by the headlines. indiana and arkansas caused a national uproar by introducing religious freedom laws which opponents say promote antigay legislation. by thursday they had revised the gillis to eliminate discrimination. will that prevent the backlash? we have guests here. father edward beck, a cnn religion commentator. reverend coates. and rabbi matt gerwitz. i hope i got that right. >> close enough. >> thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. let me start with you, dr. moore. the situation in arkansas and

indiana, it really took a lot of people by surprise. i imagine the governors of arkansas and indiana. why do you think this caused such an uproar? >> well i think it's really unfortunate that it caused such an uproar. what was happening in both states was a straightforward attempt to pro tektdtect religiously motivated people in order to have a fair balancing act in court. >> you supported these laws? >> i supported these laws as they were originally introduced. the hysteria that happened after that was unfortunate in all sorts of reasons -- for all sorts of reasons, one of them being the fact that you have say mischaracterization of what religious freedom is how it protects people and the way some of the leaders responded to the backlash. >> what is your take on this? >> well i'm concerned about the religious freedom laws principally because i think it provides the potential for people to use their religion as

a basis for discrimination and bias. i'm very concerned because my sense is that people do not consistently apply what they regard as their religion. this is not a protection of belief it's potentially a protection of bias. one of the things that makes our country so great is that we have found a way to do two things to protect religious freedom and individual liberty at the same time. i think the reason you had this outcry is because people all across the country are concerned about the precedent that this could establish for people using their religion as a basis to discriminate against a whole group of people based on their sexual orientation, country of origin their own religious beliefs. i'm very concerned about it. >> rabbi, this -- these laws were brought forward by christian conservatives in both of these states. what does your faith say about this issue? >> as far as it coming from a fundamentalist suggestion you know i'm different. i see the bible as one that i live by the spirit of the law

and not the letter of the law. i think the spirit of the law is one that teaches us to love our neighbors our self to not oppress the stranger because we were once strangers in a strange land and i think these laws are taking people putting them into a box and objectifying them. >> father beck i want to play something for you because i think it's interesting. pope francis, as you know was asked about sort of an issue related to this. he was asked about whether gays should be able to serve as priests and what he said in response to that question really took the world by storm. let's play a little bit of what the pope had to say. >> translator: if a person is gay and seeks god and has goodwill who am i to judge him? >> there has been an evolution, has there not? >> the evolution has been one of inclusion. i think what this pope has said you have to bring everyone into the conversation that everybody has a place at the table. have the conversation and see where the people are. with regards to this law, the federal law seemed to suffice

until gay marriage started to gain traction in the states and then suddenly these other kinds of laws were made. so i think that it was very deathn nil. >> it was an economic issue. you had the ncaa final four losing money, people were saying -- businesses were saying you can't do this to us. they thought, okay let's look at this again. let's make it what it's really supposed to be. now the right, the extreme right is saying no why did you backtrack? you should have left it as it was. >> before we move off of this topic, dr. moore, i want to ask you a question i asked father beck. that is was this a teachable moment for the gop? do you think this should be a litmus test for republican candidates for the presidency in 2016? >> yes, absolutely this is a

litmus test. that applies to christians muslims, janes, hindus, that's a question we went through the past two presidential cycles but none of the questions were about religious liberty. over the last six years we have had constant assaults from the little sisters of the poor the hhs mandate, and one thing after another. we need to know up front where candidates stand on -- >> do you feel like your faith is under attack? >> i think faith in general is under attack because i think there's a secular rising strand in american life that doesn't understand religious motivation. >> people of faith are concerned about what's taking place in corporate board rooms and not really preoccupied about what's happening in people's private bedrooms. the scriptures that i read have more to say about poverty and addressing how we care for the least of these. i wish there was more conversation from the religious right and groups of a variety of religious backgrounds that talked about how we can care for the poor how we can care for

the orphans, the widows those in our society that have been locked out and left out. addressing concerns of social justice, mass incarceration. these are the kinds of issues that people of faith are grappling with. >> rabbi, i want to turn to the presidential race that's taking shape. ted cruz was the first to jump in. he announced his candidacy at liberty university which is a university founded by jerry falwell. how did that strike you, to see a candidate for the presidency of the united states launch his campaign from a university that is essentially founded by christian conservatives? >> i think it would have worked well in the '90s and maybe pre-2001. i think it's tone deaf now. i think it's tone deaf because i do not think faith is under attack. what i do believe is i have members of my congressgation who want to embrace faith. when they hear the last two weeks, if that's what faith is about, they don't want any part

of it. they want spiritual life inner life. before 2001 it was a luxury to think of the mary sciavo's of the world. well guess what since then i think it's 36 states have now passed gay marriage laws and i think either america's beginning to move on or beginning to see that people of all stripes have a place around the table. >> father beck what do you make -- because i think it's fair to say that ted cruz is wearing his religion his faith on the sleeve. i don't think that's a slam on ted cruz. do you find that to be authentic when you see candidates political candidates wearing their faith on their sleeves? >> i think perhaps it may be authentic for them but polls show americans don't want it. americans want to keep that separation. i think they do it at their own peril because people say if that's what it's going to be about for you, bringing your faith into every decision you're not going to represent the vast majority of this country. therefore, you're not going to be our candidate.

>> gentlemen, we have more to talk about. thanks for that part of the discussion. if you would stand by while we get in a break. when we come back i'll ask you about the rise of anti-semitism around the world. if your purse is starting to look more like a tissue box... you may be muddling through allergies. try zyrtec® for powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin®. because it starts working faster on the first day you take it. zyrtec®. muddle no more™ .

big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern. when it comes to vaping, vuse has changed the game. vuse digital vapor cigarettes designed and assembled in the usa. our smart micro-processor controls heat and power up to 2,000 times a second for superior vapor. and our v-liquid is blended by our experts at r.j. reynolds for great taste satisfaction. vuse. for a perfect puff. first time. every time.

and welcome back. somebody from the daily show i guess will be the new host of the daily show made some news this week trevor noah. he's been tapped as the replacement to jon stewart. he made a lot of news. i'm not sure he wanted to make all of this news with pretty controversial tweets that he did not delete. did you take those comments to be antisem semitic. first i'm still la mending jon stewart. >> as we all are. >> but i would say the following. i grew up with archie bunker.

i think my generation learned a lot from archie bunker. i don't think archie bunker could have existed today. his satire taught us a lot about charactures and stereotypes. i don't know enough about noah yet to know if he's antisemitic yet or not. i want to give him some rope because i think we all run to that spot of hate and everyone hates us. we have to cower in our silos. i'll take notes and if it continues i'll boycott against it. i'm in favor of making sure the bill marrs of the world make us look at ourselves and not take light seriously as we take it. >> let's look at social media. pope francis is this twitter sensation out there @pontiffx. how is that changing your fate? i want to ask you all of this. >> changing it it's instantaneous what people are thinking about it. i think what it's saying is you

can look at all of these different perspectives. go down your feed, this person said this that person said that. it makes it a lot more relevant because it's in time. people are responding in time too, which is a bit dangerous, i think. with regard to this stuff, the "charlie hebdo" stuff showed that this can be a very dangerous stuff. if you offend people's religious sensibilities, the pope spoke about this watch out, you may get a punch in the nose. yes, i think a universal offender is okay. when it comes to religious sensibility -- >> you can't say everything. >> certain things are sacred and they're off ground. >> how about you, dr. moore? in your community, especially among christian conservatives, i mean this has become a hugely helpful tool not only in spreading your word but also making political gains across the country. >> yes. >> social media is enormously problematic and immensely helpful at the same time. on the one hand it's easy for someone to fill up a feed with views that they agree with and

assume everyone agrees with me because the people that i follow were all saying the same thing. on the other hand though twitter, facebook instagram, it provides me an opportunity to pray for people that i would not ordinarily pray for because i know what's going on in their lives. >> it's a window into the souls. >> it really is. >> and how about you, reverend? >> with respect to social media, i think this is not just about political correctness. i think in a more diverse world you have to be careful and mindful of the way in which the words we use can hurt, can offend and malign and advance discrimination hatred and so i think we do have to be careful about our speech. >> we have a pupil we want to put up that talks about faith in our lives and where things stand right now. you know it seems that by and large people are saying that faith is mattering perhaps less in their lives. >> i think it's institution, religion. more people are suspect of it,

especially millennials. they're seeing it as judgmental. if they see it that way, they're going to dismiss it. people are spiritual. they're praying more. they're shying away from institutionalism but studies show they're becoming more faith filled actually. >> rabbi? >> institutionally suspicious and spiritually ravenous and hungry. >> are you all suspicious of your own institutions at times? >> you know something, we are evaluating our institutions at every moment. >> we do need to. >> the millennial is finding it on the yoga the glacier, the mountain top. i can sit on my pedestal my pulpit and preach to an empty studio or i can go to the mountain top. >> that's not what we're seeing with our millennials. what's going away is a nominal culture of religion in which one checks a box in order to be a good citizen. that's going away good rid

dance. what's going away is the mushy generic faith that has no content. those churches are dieing. but in churches that have conviction in what they believe, they're thriving and filled with young people who are swimming against the stream of the culture in order to embrace something that is older and bigger than themselves and in our case that's the gospel of jesus christ. >> i think what's happening is millennials are saying to us that they're concerned about the practice of faith, not just the proclamations and the pretenses of religion. so think about it all across the country when you think about ferguson young people millennials are on the front lines. >> that caught a lot of people by surprise. people did not see that coming. >> they're using their faith to say, we want to see how we can make our faith live out in the world. >> gentlemen, thank you for that discussion. that was a great note to end on and happy easter. happy passover. everything to all of you. we appreciate your time very much and thank you for that discussion. we'll be right back. people ship all kinds of things.

duke and wisconsin scare square off in the men's basketball championship game tomorrow night. it raised eye brows this week when it said it is not responsible for the education of student athletes. joining me is cnn sports able list christine brenen and espn writer. i want to read the statement from ncaa. it opens up the conversation well. and they worked for a long time on this statement. it's very well crafted. do you buy it? >> well i i understand that the ncaa is being buffetted in all ways. you want people paying athletes. on the other hand you want people saying what about the student in student athlete? i understand both of the conversations fop me it's a

cross roads unlike any we've seen not only in athletics but in colleges in terms of what do we want it looking like moving forward. the ncaa saying they're not involved with the education of student athletes is ridiculous but i understand they can cannot be literally monitoring every classroom and every university in this country. >> this has become a massive industry. march madness in the final four that we're seeing now in indianapolis i have to say it is unbelievable what we've seen so far. it's been a great sports spectacle. is student athletes don't get paid. they are basically pawns in what is a massive industry. what do we do about it? let it continue the way it is now? >> i think it is important to let it controlcontinue the way it is now. talking about the two biggest money generators football and basketball. the complications with title ix

and handling that conversation, and the smaller tiered schools. how do you hand that conversation? i'm not saying the ncaa should get a pass but it is more complicated than handing out checks as well. i think congress needs to get involved a lot more than what is happening now. there is anti-trust issues that needs to be vetted and i don't think that allowing the ncaa to do all the self-policing is the best way to get a solution. >> can we pay student athletes? we should point out they receive a free agencyeducation. >> you said pawn. critics have said that. the flip side think about it in the citizenships scholarships now up to $70 $70,000 at expensive schools. >> exactly. even if it's regular state school it's $35,000, $40. now what parents paying full freight for their kids and they have to pay them. what would they give to have the

scholarship. the paying is on the table clearly is a point of conversation in the sports media, jim. >> can we pay them maybe not what nba athletes get paid. put it in a small account they can't touch until after college. >> i want to pretend it's not a minor league for pros. if we can say march madness and college football are not just minor leagues for the nba or nfl. i think we can have serious conversations now. if we're going to pay the football players, you have to pay the field hockey players. it seems, wow -- >> track. >> yep. i mentioned indianapolis i would be remiss if i didn't bring up the controversy in indiana the last couple of weeks. the law passed there that some people said it would have been easy to discriminate gays and

lesbians. the ncaa walked a tight rope. >> i think they handled it well. mark said it's not acceptable and going forward how would we keep our business here and how can we have championships here? i think sports took us to a national conversation where we want to go just like with penn state and domestic violence. i think that's a positive thing. >> and former governor mike huckabee had this to say about the situation in arkansas. >> the reason those corporations put the pressure on indiana and arkansas was because militant gay community put the pressure on them. >> he's talking about, of course you know, when apple's ceo came out and walmart blasted both of these laws in the two respective states. mike huckabee talking about the militant gay community. it's a touchy subject around the country. how do we navigate this? >> i'm upset. i've been openly gay for a long

time and i'm not part of the militant organization. i want to know where it's located. i haven't seen it yet. mike huckabee is testing the water to see whether or not there's water for him to room for 2016. that's what the comments are about and the guns, god, and gravy book is about. i don't pay that close attention to him. to say one thing about the ncaa. i don't think they handsed it well. the law did not blind side them. they knew it was coming and they responded after the public outcry. if they were being responsible they would have gotten ahead of the message and not after the public got the message. >> thank you for that discussion. we can go on forever but we won't. we'll see what happens tomorrow night. that's it for "state of the union." we're done here but don't leave because next up fareed zakaria's interview with deputy national security adviser is next.
