i did late in the process look at the under see photography robert ballard had done. i didn't want that to, my impression during the course of my research of what this voyage was like. i didn't want it to be this rusting hulk on the floor of the ocean which is what it is now. i wanted in my mind this great glamorous ship with all these great glamorous spaces and people walking the board and so forth. that is why i did in that way. >> that makes sense. is lying in more than free hundred feet of water on its stoppard's side. and i don't want to jump too far ahead but it saying very quickly. do you know why it is lying in the position that it is? >> i can't tell you for sure if it is lying on the starter or port side. i am not sure in this end that that had much to do with exactly how it saying. what i do know is when it sank for much of that time, it was only 18 minutes. for much of that time it was 25 degrees list. it may well be that it is on the stock broadside but just before it went under it was so full of water and there was no imbalance and plunged underneath. wh

brendan: i talked to greg ballard, the republican, and i was stunned with how upset he was over indiana'ss restoration act. that seems like it has shifted in the party. governor keating: i think it is generational to a certain extent, but we have to remember when a sensitive issue is handled by the courts as opposed to buy individual legislatures in the federal system of all 50 states, you will have a problem. when roe v wade was handed down by the supreme court, there was not even a right to life movement. before then, all the states did on their own. i think you are seeing that here. that is regrettable but it is a fact of the marketplace was that i think republican mayors are more interested in their city or state survival. you will see a more progressive bent from them, but it is a serious issue that does conflict and affect a lot of people. tom: frank keating with us, mark halperin will join us later from louisville, kentucky. on the election, do you care about the election the first tuesday of november, 2016? stay with us from new york city "bloomberg surveillance." good morning. ♪

. >> mayor greg ballard also spoke up about the bill. [inaudible] governor pence: i would leave it -- the public reaction? i think it is explained by the fact that this was grossly mischaracterized by some frankly sloppy reporting the first couple of days. i really do believe that. look, if i read some of the stuff about this bill, i would have the same concern that millions of hoosiers have had and people across the country have had. it just isn't so. when president clinton signed this bill in 1993, the american civil liberties union said then that the religious freedom restoration act was the most important legislation considered by congress since the first amendment was approved. ok? when then state senator barack obama voted for this bill in illinois, it was with broad bipartisan support. one of the great pieces of legislative history of the religious freedom restoration act it has a way of bringing people together. consensus. this has been broadly supported on a bipartisan basis. i would suggest to you that what explains the concern
