the land through the homesteading act. there is a lot of mountainous and very. -- very air and land out west. switche conservation act , it went from the government giving away land to the government trying to protect land. to give you a sense of the amount of land, let's take a couple of samples. the state of alaska, the federal government owning the vast majority of land in that state, over 61 percent. .- over 61 percent over half of the land is owned by the federal government. the rest of the land, much less percent, 4.2%. over a quarter of the percent is owned and operated by the federal government. agenciesere is for that are part of the made for. -- the main four. land.% of the there is also the defense department that has military installations. there's other agencies that have some of the -- but the vast majority is managed by those four agencies. not considered federal land. those are owned by the tribes. the federal government will manage them by the tribes -- managed them for the tribes. host: you develop on thes

we have locked up along with the public lands, the private initiation of those lands. it creates a false protect -- there is layer after layer of protection on these public lands, including areas of clinical environmental concern, the antiquities act, the threatened and endangered species act, clean water act, clean air act. think -- to say that things are the same as they were in 1906 is false. host: joining us is mike noel from the state of utah in the house of representatives. the interior secretary expected to recommend shrinking the borders of the bear's heirs --ument, is what we are bears and monument, is what we are talking about. calling to protest the way in which you enunciated the topic this morning. you are saying, should federal lands be open to development? a false impression oreither it gets strip mined it gets completely saved for pristinity. this is what the argument has come down to. this is a matter most often of people east of the mississippi river drying to tell people west of the mississippi river what to do with the land out there -- trying to te

we own the land, we should be able to enjoy it. i do not want mining or anything but maybe more access and easier access to enjoy our land. someone who spends a lot of time on the river, i want to make it clear to people that you are polluting way too much. i am picking up trash in the severn river every time i go out and i would ask you to watch what you are doing. host: this is from donna -- the ecosystem is a natural wonder as well. check the land. from james -- sell the land to the highest bidder and pay down some of our debt. share your comments. we will read your tweets, as we look at some of the areas out west. nearly half of the western states are controlled by the federal government. dave is joining us from kendall county, illinois. caller: keep your hands off my natural resources. i am sick of hearing you trump loving, greedy, got to get, got to take people. i am so, so upset. i have not even begun to let my rage out at this president and his staff. you guys with your peacenik movements, that is fine. i love it. i am beyon

land. we'll acquire that. the federal government certainly acquires land to round autoborders and never near the scale of this situation. but great question. so bureaucrats. here are two very famous bureaucrats. lewis and clark. and they were on a federally funded and mandated expedition. they were bureaucrats. i have a campaign going that's going quite poorly to take the word bureaucrat and just make it a word of neutrality that says someone who works for a state or federal or county government. or, any number of other kinds of organizations. i'm trying to do that because -- i can imagine at the states people are going, really? why would you take out such a cause? i'm doing it because what we have done as a society and i have done it myself because when you find a person who works for an agency or brew row and admire them, you go to the department of motor vehicles and treated well and move quickly and the forms are simple and they're -- you think, and the person who's helping you with that, you think, well, prob

nearly one third of the land is in sacred areas. ranslator: who will protect the environment in the west and in china? it is government responsibilities. but the betans do't thinof it that way. if you think of it that way, you are not buddhist. you are the protector. no matter if you are a newborn or 80 years old, you are all protector. you have responsibilities. all lives should be protected. fred: in some districts, local governments are recognizing the sacred mountains, and some are en hiring tibetans to take care of the national nature reserves. translator: the cultural values of buddhism are very comforting to the scholars of conservation. i felt at last we found a way, and i began to gain nfidence in humanity. thestibetan people are not wealthy, yet they can still think of other creatures. not just other people, other creatures. this is altruistic behavior. if they can do it, there's hope that other people can do it as well. [bells ring] gary: i've made a whole series of films about the beginning of environmental movements in d

they fell under the management of the general land office, the land dispersing, land distributing agency. that didn't really make sense. gifford pincho yearned to be in a position to get that out of the general land office. i will say he had some very strong feelings. as he might. they were evidence based that interior had problems of corruption. i think we have already spoken of that. that with indian offices, indian agents with the land office, that was like, a great river of money going by. appointed officials and dipping into that was very tempting. so, gifford pincho had reasons to think it would be better to get the forest reserves out of the general land office and out of the department of interior and over to the department of agriculture with the forest service. that's usually offered. i think a little bit of substance to it, that was because gifford pincho thought of trees as a crop so they should be in agriculture. i think that's small compared to the get it out of interior and another agency where it's not pulled into the history of that kind of troubled department. national

the railroad came in, set up the tacoma land company, and then they began to profit off the sale of land. it went from forest land that was practically valueless was the trees were cut the suddenly urban real estate that they could profit off of. they brought wealth with them and that able to turn around and profit from it. we see element of that today because not only to the railroad own the land and the terms by which they would sell the land to somebody who wanted to build a building or whatever, house, but in the days before building codes and zoning they were able to enforce their own ideas about how they wanted the city to look. you very much sensethat today on the campus. these sturdy brick warehouses were all built under the guidelines that were imposed by the railroad. so the builders of the warehouses would meet the cash terms tobuy the land from the railroad in the first place, but the railroad been dictated the design, the construction method of the buildings themselves. all these warehouses and sturdy, fireproof warehouses are all pretty much the idea to force the building s

all, federal land, they want to pollute the land and everything for the wealthy. mess up everything. trump is putting a pipeline over indians' land and 1st of all, we got a president of the and d states that is -- nobody seems to care. there is something wrong with congress. racist in the a united states of america, yet you can't see that, we're all doomed. this guy is the worst president, he's mentally ill and mentally unstable, so somebody's got to do something. they got to denounce donald ruin this going to country. flags up 't put nazi by the white house, would you? might offend some people, but i trump would say it is okay. all the people died in world war nazis, i guess e trump wants to put up nazi to s, but to me, we've got get him out of here, impeach him. impeach that ss, president. thank you very much. host: dave from irvine, thanks for the call. update on other news, the death up to barcelona is now 14. ere are headlines from two spanish newspapers in the bbc reporting that five suspects dead in an ot incident overnight related to the van ramming. involv

phrase used, the leftover lands, the land that nobody wanted. a good share of that land is land that didn't go into private ownership because homesteaders weren't that goofy, they were full of hope but they wouldn't have said, i have an idea, how about the middle of the nevada desert, here's my hope. there are ranchers there and people who take that up, but there are plenty of other areas where homesteading might have occurred and gave up because it was too hard. there's reasons for that and, of course, the progressive era reckoning with the first draft of western expansion and then saying, maybe there's a different way of possessing and directing and owning those lands. here's the different agencies that create that pattern that you just saw, the percentages. so the smallest one is probably orange, the fish and wildlife services, the national wildlife services. i guess the national park service is second smallest, the olive green ones and then the yellow is the vast one, the bureau of land management, sometimes called the nation's largest landlo

>> the same reason for land that prompted so many administrations to force the native-americans off their land. it was essentially to take the land from the native-americans to provide them to white settlers. in oklahoma, many of the tribes were alotted in the late 1800s. you could see the land runs where they would rush out on their horses and on foot and if they could get to a par self land first and put a stake in it, they would lay claim to the land. it was really about land. in many cases, the murders became a microcosm of the same earlier force that's had been playing out in the country for centuries. >> how long before they were in oklahoma and realized that they were sitting on, you know, sitting on oil? >> yeah. >> they had the beverly hillbilly experience. >> the thing about what was amazing is that the osage tribe was alotted. what that means is essentially the u.s. government forced a native-americ native-american tribes to end their communal ownership of land and turn them into private property owners. when they were negotiating, they managed to slip into the agreement a very

the railroad came in and this had at that, land company and he began to profit off of the sale of land. it went from forest land that was practically valueless to suddenly urban real estate that they could profit off of. they brought wealth with them and they were able to turn around and profit from it. we can see elements of that because not only did they own the lands and thereby on the terms by which they would sell the land to somebody wanted to build a building or whatever, e-house, -- a house, they were able to enforce their own ideas about how they wanted the city to look. you very much sense that today on the campus. there is a sturdy brick warehouse that were built under the guidelines that were imposed by the railroad. the builders of the warehouses would meet the cash terms to buy the land in the first place but the railroad's been dictated the design, the construction method of the building themselves. these 35 warehouses are often much the ideaetty of the force to building standards that the railroad had. by the 1930's and into the 40's, the neighborhood began to recede a

it would divvy up reservations and the parcels of land. each member of the tribe would receive an allotment and the rest of the land would be opened up to white settlers. now the osage had seen what had happened to other territory that had been opened up near the reservation. this was an old -- this is an actual photograph of it. settlers raced to get the land. if they got to a partial first they would put a stake into it and then lay claim to the land. many were trampled in the process and a few were even shot. the concept of allotment was essentially to end the communal way of life. and to turn american indians into private property owners. the situation that not coincidentally, it would make it much easier to procure their land. but the osage, when they were negotiating the terms of allotment had more leverage than many other american indian nations. because they had a deed to the land that they had recently purchased it. what's more is, there was a race to make oklahoma state, the osage was the last tribe in the territory to be allotted

they had a deed to the land. they recently purchased it. what's more, there is a race to make oklahoma state. the osage for the last tribe to be allotted and there also ledb by one of the greatest chiefs, a man who spoke seven languages including latin, sunni, and french. he and other leaders slipped in the treaty agreement a provision that seemed rather curious. what it said was we shall maintain control of all the subsurface mineral rights to our land. now the osage had some sense there is at least a little bit of oil under the land but nobody thought they were sitting upon . fortune. and so they managed to hold onto this last realm of their land, something they cannot even see.t in each member, 2000 so received was called the head right which is the sheer in the trust.afte after allotment much of the surface territory disappear into whithands of white. but it cannot be bought or sold. it can only be inherited. so, the osage maintain control over what had become the first underground reservation.round before long the oil boom haveone begun

what happens to a river when it's flowing out of the mountains and into the low lands? >> it deposit s sediment? >> why does it deposit it there? >> because that's the most level part, that the sediment can't move with to the water. >> which carries more saediment fast moving water or slow. >> fast? >> the river starts to slow down, and as it does, it starts to drop the sediment it's carrying, does it first drop the heaviest or the lightest thing? >> the heaviest. >> rocks? >> the gold, because gold is very, very dense. fast flowing rivers carry a lot of sediment, but as they slow down as they flow into the low lands, they lose some of this energy and they begin to deposit their load, they deposit the gold first because it's the heaviest element. that's why it's such a good place to dig. and sure enough if you look at that map with the red and yellow things it was, now look at this photograph, the river is meandering, they hardly ever flow straight, so when the river is flowing around curves, is the current faster around the inside or the outside? >> the outside. >> the

elizabeth's in d.c it's really a time where they're looking to develop the land, it's now split into two halves, the federal government owns half of it and it will become the department of homeland security, which is something that's happening right now and also development is really starting on the east campus, which is owned by the city of washington, d.c. it's a really interesting time to start talking about that since they're really moving forward and starting that development process. this is a great hall as we call it in the old u.s. pension building. the building from 1887 was built for veterans and their families to come get their pensions, mostly civil war veterans, but also from other earlier wars, some of their family members who were still alive and it was the pension building for many decades until the veterans administration kind of took that over and then it was owned by the federal government, it was an office building, became a museum in the 1980's. we're going to start our story in the 1850's by looking at what's happening in mental healthcare at that time, and some

the original's was name of the land tract so they went back to using st. elizabeth's. it was officially changed in 1916, which is interesting because st. elizabeth, she's a patron saint of healing, which is a nice coincidence. so the original architecture of the central building proved insufficient to house all the patients so they looked at different types of architectures. you see the growth of the cottage plan. howard hall is a different howard hall was the -- they called the home for insane criminal. these are people who were the courts.care by we call them forensic patients now and you can see the shape of originaling, the courtyard was inside that shape. you're looking at here is a 1911 that they're for more money to build a fence around the whole building so patients can be outside. did in fact, build that hall stood asd they calledr what insane criminals at the time until the 1950s. and then this building was and they built a much larger building called john and thatvilion building was then demolished a ago, but thats building took over this function. cottages,e

do you know, america is the land of opportunity, the land of hope, a land where everything is good, and a land where the roads are paved with gold. so as a child, i thought, 'i am coming to america.' where we would be reunited with our father. that was exciting. and we were coming to a new country. host: where was home first? elaine: home was taiwan. they left mainland china during the height of the civil war there. they relocated to taiwan, a small island 90 miles southeast of the mainland. there, my father became the first, well, the youngest sea captain at the age of 29, which was quite a feat. he was in charge of a ship full of men away at sea most of the time. being responsible for multimillion dollar cargo, and he was only 29. and when you are at sea in those days, you had to be self-reliant because there was no other way to seek help if anything happened. so my father is incredibly inspirational, a can-do, independent, very forward thinking and creative person. host: and then turning that into a successful business. elaine: yes. what happened, he became one of the youngest ship c

there who took care of the land. en they came back, it was in ruin. the greenhouses and everything was broken down. the house had been vandalized. the plants were stolen. but most people lost everything because they were just renting. they had to leave everything behind. the important part of this also to point out that even though there were reparations later on, it did not compensate for what was lost. because you can only carry in two hands what you could take with you. that was about 50 pounds each. you had to either try to sell you either had to try to sell it in a fire sale for $.10 on the dollar, or give it to a friend, hoping that they may take care of your possessions. in a lot of cases, neighbors did not think people are coming back. they would get rid of the property and the possessions and sell them and use them or whatever. it was a terrible condition -- violation of human rights. susan: i don't want you that too much time on this, but i think the color -- caller's first concerns about precedents in war p

bit by bit, the land is disappearing. but there is hope. in a tractor, to go and see a man whose life's mission has been to try and tackle the flooding that has afflicted majuli. he is assam's very own eco—warrior. sadly, these are areas that get completely deluged when the monsoon hits. there is some water there that we have to cross. for the last 36 years, jadav payeng has taken on an extraordinary challenge, to save this land from vanishing. and so, his lifelong calling began. jadav is known today as the forest man of india. he began planting trees so the roots would bind the soil, soak up excess water and prevent the land from being eroded by flooding. from a barren landscape, he has created a forest the size of new york's central park. and he feels this will be more effective in saving nearby majuli then following government flood prevention schemes. so we are now going to do the ritual that every guest that comes here is asked to do, which is to plant a tree. what kind of tree is this? i'm going to put this in here... it's good. jadav
