story in the sense that it's about a fundamental shift in how america exists in the world, that we are becoming a nation without expertise that shoots first and asks questions later a lot of the time, it's told through the lens of, as you suggest, these characters in this ravaged profession bravely trying to serve our country and getting kicked out en masse as it turns out in the first days of the administration, which is that period you're talking about there. >> without being replaced. it's interesting. you talked to all of the living secretary of states on record who were very candid with you and they all seem to be saying the same thing which is? >> there's a variety of levels of candor but, look, i'll give colin powell as an example. he said, we are ripping the guts out of diplomacy. we are mortgaging your future. >> george marshall went from world war ii general to pdiplomat. in what you're writing about, how much does 9/11 and the fact that the u.s. has been engaged in live wars cause a shift? >> it's hugely significant.

i'm careful not to over simplify the picture. the world landscape has changed. the rise of the security state is a consequence of these inevitable shifts that we didn't necessarily have control over, but what i show is that in conflict after conflict we actually have gone farther than we needed to in the direction of military dominance of the policy process. that we have actively sabotaged chances at political settlements in places like pakistan. >> they don't say, we're going to have more inner agency groups we're going to defeat isis. >> this is about a group of brave men and women who served in dangerous places for less pay than they could get in the private sector. there are dusty bureaucrats who punch the clock, are entombed in the buyreaucracy but there are men and women putting a lot on the line doing important work that isn't celebrated when they come home. i think that's exploited in a

vicious way for political gain. >> you had a front row seat working for richard holbrook who was not the most popular person on the staff. >> you could say that. >> but at one point he says to you, have you taken leave of your senses? never good when your boss says that to you, ronan. what had you done? with his vein popping out. >> this is the last stretch his life and an incredible career on the world stage. he was a difficult, complicated person. this is a really personal book in a lot of ways. it's also partly a memoir of my time seeing these changes firsthand as a little guy at the bottom of the totem pole in that administration and holbrook was a great lens through which to view this problem. he brokered peace in bosnia. he understood how military might is arrayed behind diplomats. people are saying restore the balance in a more sense of the way. he was a great example. >> tonight is the time 100 list.

congratulations. you're on it. i can't imagine what your life is like. >> my life has been very tired, gayle. very grateful for all the sources that spoke in those stories about weinstein and in this book. there are a lot of whistle blowers who put a lot on the line to tell the story. >> great to be here. >> the name of the book is called "war on peace." it goes on sale today. legendary soprano, do you hear that? that's rene fleming. she's performing in her first broadway -- you're right, ronan, applause please. roger and hamerstein's carrousel. she's not singing. >> hello! >> what it's like to do eight shows a week. now she's we have low clouds out there along the coast and bay this morning making for a gray start to the day and kind of cool out there. a lot of the cloud coverage will

burn off. by lunch, you can expect sunshine, especially inland where temperatures will be 7 to 8 degrees above average. we are close to average for san francisco. temperatures are starting their slow decline and by friday and saturday, we drop to the 60s.

♪ it's is the one and only renee fleming. is the hair standing up on the back of your neck now? singing at london's buckingham palace at queen elizabeth's diamond jubilee. beautiful. the world-renowned soprano began gracing the world's greatest opera houses decades ago. she's a four-time grammy winner who earned a national medal of arts in 2012. fleming is the first classical artist to sing the national anthem at a super bowl.

i remember that. now she's making her broadway musical debut in rogers and hammerstein's "carousel." ♪ playing nettie fowler, flemming sings "you'll never walk alone" in what's known as richard rodgers' fufirst musical. thanks for being here. >> good morning. this wasn't something i was aspiring to take on new worlds. it came out of the blue -- >> from where, how? >> scott rudin, producer, and the director, andy einhorn. they said, would you consider this, we would love to have you. i thought hmm.

i'm the kind of person who if i said no i would always wonder what if. i thought, yeah, i'll try this. >> how's the transition been from broadway? >> i knew it would be a shock to my system because eight shows a week is big. we're not amplified in classic music and can't do more than maximum three a week because we need the downtime. so this i thought how. a going to do this. amplification makes it much easier, and -- >> what does that mean? >> so when you have a microphone, instead of the body doing the power, the technology does the power for us. >> oh. >> you can afford not to get so tired. >> how different is at that in terms of singing? a small change or big -- >> it's huge. massive. if you go to the stage of the metropolitanond remarks for instance, that -- opera, for instance, that seats 4,000 people, there's no microphone. >> i never thought about it. >> we're like ventriloquists.

it's really different technically speaking how we sing. >> did that take an adjustment on stage? >> i'm still adjusting. still adjusting. >> what about -- "carousel" is such a famous work. and "you'll never walk alone" is the best. what's it like to take on something that has that much history and is that well known? >> we sang the piece for a long time -- i also sang it at the 9/11 memorial. and i -- people love the song. it's iconic like "amazing grace" and one everybody loves. to do it in the context of the piece, it's so emotional. it's so much more about that incredibly tragic moment. >> you were saying that this time when you're doing this, you don't have to travel. you that get to be home. >> i know. >> what's that like? you know, you could take up residency in vegas. then you don't have -- >> true. it hasn't been offered.

>> you can't travel. you're home. >> i'm home. i cook, biking everywhere, having a blast. it's a pleasure to sleep in your own bed. i'm cleaning out closets for the first time in a long time. >> you are physically cleaning clot safety nets. >> it's very -- closets. >> it's very exciting. >> some of most beautiful gowns. i have to ask about the partnership that the kennedy center and institutes of health about the connection between music and the brain. i'm fascinated. what have you learned so far? >> it's unbelievable. first of all, to be a consultant for the kennedy center is a privilege. to connect with the other major institution, one in washington, what i've learned is that the brain and music are so intertwined, and music has a very powerful effect on the brain. so it affects childhood development, it makes kids into better students. it has a lot to do with the amount of therapy that can be given to people who have had traumatic brain injury, stroke, alzheimer's, autism, so many treatments that are music based. and imagine pain relief, for

instance, and thinking about isolation and loneliness as one of the really tragic epidemics in our country. music and the shared community experience of the performing arts can be helpful in that. every other thing is research. modern history is short compared to all of the history of man, and music -- these things kept us together. >> renee, rumor is you're the commencement speaker for northwestern coming up. >> yes. >> i know someone in the class. they're excited about you coming. what's your overall message? do you know yet? >> listen, i have too many messages. i'll try and narrow it down and pick and choose a little bit. i do want to focus a little on the community about keeping your community healthy. whether it's at home, the smaller group that you're in, the city that you're in, and thinking micro instead of macro. >> you have the most beautiful voice in the world. we're so thrilled to have you here. >> thank you. congratulations on "carousel." next, how our colleagues at "60 minutes" are making news of their own this morning. and you can hear more of "cbs

to move california forward, we need to help more californians get ahead. that's why antonio villaraigosa brought both parties together to balance the state budget with record investments in public schools... and new career training programs. as mayor of la, he brought police and residents together to get illegal guns off the streets and keep kids out of gangs, and on the right path.

that's antonio villaraigosa. a governor for all of california. the companies are a big reason for the epidemic. >> absolutely they are. and i can tell you with 100% accuracy that we went in on multiple occasions trying to get them to change their behavior, and they just flat-out ignored us. >> that's part of a "60 minutes" report from bill whitaker in october that's earning national recognition this morning. the joint investigation between "60 minutes" and the "washington post" is the winner of the peabody award for its look at big farm's role in the opioid -- pharma's role in the opioid crisis. >> the broadcast will receive a peabody for its 50-year contribution to television. the judges call it -- listen to this -- nothing less than a touchstone in american life, championing a little guy. this morning, wins brings the number of "60 minutes'" peabodys
