( cheers and applause ) why dont we start the show with the opposite of said richard lewis. the pope. ( laughter ) the head of the jewish church, head of the catholic church, the vicar of christ, number one on god's speed dial. 1.2 billion worshipers hanging on the pope's every word, and guess what, the word just came down. >> pope francis issued a nearly 200-page document, casting climate change as a moral issue, not simply a political or economic debate. >> jon: oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy oh boy! a 200-page-- ( applause ) 200-page moral treatoise climate change, and just in time for beach season! ( laughter ) what a great read down at l.b.i. i hope it's in the original... the pope is weighing in on the sides take action against climate change. it's a lot for the catholic church to take a environmental stance but buddhism is a religion obsessed with recycling. oh! boom! boom! oh, snap! no, you didn't! oh ( bleep ).

we have been with us -- ben with us. he is a long-term colleague.e is chairman of stanford and a member of the national academy of science. he is a transgender person. he made a decision to undergo a body change, and he can tell us what it was like before when he felt like he was in the wrong body and how he feels now. people who knew him before can describe what it was like interacting with them as a woman, and now as a man. he is one of the pioneers in the united states -- scott is one of the pioneers in the united states of pediatrics area -- of pediatrics. he has adopted a european strategy and applied it in the united states of postponing puberty so people can think through what they actually want to do and make the decision in a thoughtful fashion. the reason he wants to delay puberty is once puberty forms it's a much more radical procedure than if you receive it before puberty. we have catherine with us, she's interested in how sex is represented in the brain, and she has found in mice that in the male mouse there is a representation of the f

ben is still with us. jay you have been in this business for a long time. i'm curious.ou see a lot of venture capital, but you do not see these unicorn valuations often. why is that? why is it so difficult to scale and education technology business? jay: it's interesting. you're right, there's a lot of money flowing into it. the system is changing before our eyes. for far too long, i think the education system has not focused on the personality of the student. the system is changing around the student. the student has changed from traditional learner to sort of nontraditional learner. 85% of american students are nontraditional. they want flexibility. they want technology. they want social media to inform education. i think a lot of education companies have a hard time penetrating that because the system has really changed as we look. -- it's really evolutionary right now. emily: sure, technology can expand your horizons, but also limit them. ben you have three kids, they have been educated partially in the u k and partially in the united eights and you have advance --

thank you very much, ben, for being with us today. what is your answer to richard engel's question? >> well, i think the main answer andrea is first of all, i would suggest that the insurgency was very dug in during years of the iraq war. but part of the challenge that we've seen in the last several months is the need for there to be buy-in from all of iraq's different communities to push out isil and anbar province is going to depend upon the sunni tribes rising up and pushing isil out of their lens. that's what made a difference back in 2008 and improving the security situation. what this new deployment will allow us to do is to have more capability to advise and assist the sunni tribes in eastern anbar province so they can go on the offensive against isil. >> this reporting from "the new york times" based on general dempsey's briefing on the plane to reporters is that now we are considering lily pads lily pods smaller bases along the line in anbar with more deployments than even the 450, is that what we're looking at here? >> well, we've already done that andrea in the sense that

us? wait. >> no he pranked her. >> for the past eight years i think we've had a lot of fun joking around with each other. >> ben tellsirl have been dating for eight years and they prank each other consistently. that's how they have fun together. >> this is a good way to do this. i think we've had a lot of fun joking around with each other. you know this couple is going to last because they're going to laugh. >> i would like to ask you -- wrong hand. if you'll let me make you laugh for the rest of our lives. that's my indirect way of asking you to marry me. >> yeah. >> there she goes. he gets the rest. >> i must look really shocked right now. >> a little girl gets serious when she spots a couple of turtles. >> this moment is video gold. >> what's that turtle doing? >> doing what? >> why dad behind the camera might have some explaining to do. do. >> so funny. r gogoodod g gummies plus energy support. itit's's a a n newew f fibiberer s supupplplemement that helps support regularity anand d ininclclududeses b b v vititamaminins s to help convert food to energy. mmmmmmmmm,m, t thehesese a arere g gooood!d! ninicece w woro

our senior correspondent ben wedeman joins us with the latest. good morning, ben. >> reporter: good morning, john. the worry of iraqi officials regarding the dam in ramadi is they will cut off the flow of the euphrates river. that is the source of water for many iraqis downstream. so this is just another complication that has happened since the may 17th fall of the strategic city in anbar province to isis. recording the statement from the deputy secretary of state, yes, he did say that the u.s. he believed the coalition, has killed as many as 10,000 isis fighters but the cia says isis has between 20,000 and 32,000 fighters and has been able to replace them through recruitment over the years. now it is important to keep in mind according to u.s. officials, isis has since the height of its expansion, has lost about 25% of its territory. keep in mind within the last month, isis has been able to make two stunning victories. one, of course, is the fall of ramadi. the other is the fall of palmyra. despite the loss of territory, isis doesn't seem to be s

[laughter] charlie: let me begin with ben. tell ushat led up to your decision, how you carried forward and the impact it has had on your life. ben: i think my experience is pretty typical for other transgender people. i think i was only about five years old when i had strong feelings that i felt more like a boy and i was born as a girl -- barbara. i played with little boys, i preferred boys toys. i remember dreadfully wishing i could be in the cub scouts and boy scouts. every halloween, i would dress up as an army man for as a football player. i felt like a boy. as i got into middle school, i did start to feel more and more uncomfortable with it. i did not feel i should have breasts. i do not feel comfortable wearing dresses, makeup, jewelry. it became increasingly uncomfortable when i got into high school. i started to be teased more by kids. i just had a lot of confusion about my gender and i felt very ashamed. i never spoke with friends or family about it at all once. charlie: no one? ben: i felt very ashamed and confused. it was t

dennis gartman, we have ben willis with us today and rick santelli in chicago. ben, we had a sell-off here in the last hour. a lot of traders looking at each other like what was that about? are you hearing anything? it's come back. we are down 35 points. we were higher earlier. >> it's the computers starting to read that the imbalances for sale for the closing bell took us through technical levels 21.06 on the s&p or a lot of the intraday traders trade the spiders that broke the 2110 level. you also start to see them pair off. that's why the system is in place. you'll see the market come back a little bit from that. >> we are seeing another round of headlines maybe about greece. how are you trading that event? >> the headlines in greece are different every two hours. wrong. every two minutes. wrong. every two seconds. there is a new headline that comes out. somebody says something silly. someone says something bright. the next thing you know the euro is under pressure. it seems to be under pressure. i said this before on the show i think germany wants to keep gre

cnn's senior international correspondent ben wedeman joins us now live from baghdad. ben, good to have you withallujah certainly has been at the center of these battles since the u.s.-led war in iraq. >> reporter: yes, indeed, george. most recently, of course, it was fallujah that was the first city in iraq that isis was able to take control of, and that was back in january 2014. so, what we understand from paramilitary commanders on the ground just outside of fallujah is that their plan is to essentially refocus their efforts from ramadi, which fell to isis on the 17th of may, to fallujah itself. motors rev. the fighters are ready to move out in the desert of anbar province. they're with the shia-led paramilitary popular mobilization units. for weeks now, the focus has been to drive isis out of ramadi, the capital of anbar. now senior commanders say they're changing direction, preparing instead to cut off the city of fallujah. under isis control since january of last year, it's just an hour and a half drive from baghdad. the fighters are iraqi, but they're getting help from france next door. t

ben carson 11%. rand paul 9%. ted cruz 8 marco rubio 7. all the rest follow that right now there are 18 men one woman trying to gain the republican nomination or expected to. with usbate is going to top the top ten according to the polling. i guess a couple weeks in advance they would do it. you would make the cut at this point but, you know, in july, there is going to be a real stepup for everybody to try to get into the top ten. what do you think about that? >> well, i think we ought to maybe exercise some out of the box thinking to figure out how we can get everybody. maybe have two debates with a lottery to decide who is in each one of them there are other ways to do it. we have a wealth of candidates. so why don't we are a buy trarly. >> well, you have got to have some barometer. you can't have people. >> no, not on the same stage i agree. >> even now for the people who don't follow politics, you know, the people are not watching the factor and cable news. you know, they don't know who is who and what is what. you have got to limit it to even 10. even 10. >> even 10 is a lot. >> that's a lot of bloviating out there. so, you have got to have some barometer it.

ben cardon. senator grade to have you with us. do you support a reformation of the administration's policy dealing with the kidnapping of americans overseas? >> first you will know a marylander warren winestein was killed. it was a tragedy. i had an opportunity to visit with the family on a few occasions. first and foremost, the united states needs to have all its priorities in place, it's got to have a high priority coordinated efforts among the different agencies involved and direct contact with the system. we have to understand also that negotiating with terrorists can be counterproductive. we understand that. we have a policy well understood in america about negotiating with terrorists. on the other hand we know that there will be efforts made by the family and we should be mindful of those efforts and we shouldn't interfere with legitimate efforts by families found in these circumstances. >> the widow of your constituent constituent, warren wine stein considered the be efforts inconsistent. >> the lessons learned from that ci

ben: we were with one of the shiite militias. i was staying outside of the mosque. charlie: one of the ones that was trouble for us in iraq. plenty of american blood on their hands, for sure, now being aided by u.s. airstrikes. i was sitting outside of the mosque waking -- waiting for the operation to take to the street. and remodeling literally walks in front of me. charlie: gray hair, no helmet nothing. ben: nothing. i was thinking to myself, head to the face, that he knew that we were westerners he would kick us out straightaway. in fact he did find out we were there and kicked us out. he heard that we were there to cover this operation and was very angry about it. i think that he just said -- leave, now. he later said -- it would not surprise me if he just got his men to stick a bullet in your head and tell everyone that they were killed by isis during the fighting. i have no idea if that's true or not, but we had to leave and did not get to cover the operation. charlie: talk about the fighting in iraq respect to the battle against isis. you have got iraqi militias. is he directing those militias? as you are suggesting

paying indentation to wrong group of people former federal reserve chairman benkie struck back, ben steele with usom council foreign relations author of the battle of brentwood. >> a lot of people speculated is it june september, june here we are the june meeting is next week, what are you expecting. >> not going to be june. it is simple as that, there are -- the decision is ultimately going to be whether we pursue increase later in the year, or about whether we push it into early next year even farther. maria: you said that the fed has changed its approach, the feds monetary policy changed since fm crisis explain. >> right back in 2006, congress legislation obscure at the time gave power to the smaller fed board to control so-called interest on reserves the money banks are paid to park funds at the federal reserve, now that is going to be critical, because going forward as the fed starts boosting rates, interest on revs prime tool of monetary policy will not legally under control of fu. omc is under control of the board the board is considerably more dove i've beening than fomc. >> what about the

useful range. hopefully more than that. >> let's get more on this from the robert w. baird analyst who raised the price target today. ben, great to have you withthanks for having me on. >> crux of your call, crux of the price target raise is skepticism. basically saying it's a bull's friend because there's skepticism. and skepticism about the tesla energy business. at the same time the stock is up 30% from its march low. where are you seeing the skepticism? because it doesn't seem to be in the stock. >> sure. that's why we raised our price target today. last week we fielded lots of questions. as you said, the stock's off its lows, about 27%. we wanted to put our conviction out there and raise our price target. that's one of our reasons. but still people think the x is going to be delayed. we think it will be out in q3. so whether it's august or september, initial deliveries not a big deal. but i think all the fanfare around the model x launch, reports around it and reviews around it will help the stock go higher. then on tesla energy a lot of people think this has been a big part of the move. it has been some of the move. but still, people don

ben, good to have you with us. fallujah has certainly been the center of battle since the u.s.aq. tell us more about this fight ahead. >> reporter: well, what's going on, it appears that after the fall of ramadi on the 17th of may, that city is not quite surrounded by these shia-led paramilitary forces, but they certainly are putting pressure on it. now, yesterday we spoke to the head of one of the largest of those shia-led paramilitary groups, and he said that the plan at this point is to focus on fallujah itself. now, fallujah fell to isis back in january 2014. it was the first major town to be controlled by isis in iraq, so it's a huge, symbolic importance in the fight against isis. but of course, given its importance to isis and the fact that it's only an hour and a half drive from baghdad itself, it's likely to be a very long and difficult battle. now, we understand there are as many as 100,000 civilians still in fallujah. now, some iraqi officials have called for isis to let those civilians leave the city out of fear that they're going to be used as some sort of human shi

ben fell in love with. >> you heard her voice. here she is, amanda parish and her husband ben join me now. kudos to you for sharing something so incredibly intimate with the fda and the rest of usere. >> so this drug would be the first of its kind out there. compare that to the 26 sex drugs men now have to choose from. beginning with you amanda spill it. what did it do for you? >> well unlike the 26 drugs out there for men, this is not a functional problem. for women, i think the issue is different. it's not a matter of not being able to have sex. it's not wanting to get started. so for me it simply brought me back to where i had been a few years before and brought me back to wanting to initiate, to wanting to want my husband, and becoming an active participant rather than an obligatory participant. >> and ben, i'm watching you watch your wife. i'm wondering when she said yes to participate in this trial, you know were you supportive were you nervous? how were you feeling? >> well, you know i was surprised initially. i knew an issue had developed, but when she first told me about this trial and she told me about this disorder that i had never heard of called hypoactive sexual d
