i feel twice before i went in to the marines. and i will tell you, the marines forgive that too.[laughter] when you make a mistake or decision that's not a mistake and there are losses, do you torture yourself about it or i learned a lesson now move on. >> you do not forget when your lads leave their ligh lose their what you did. and you have to live with it. >> you can watch the entire program with damon matus tomorrow at 5:50 p.m. eastern and a reminder that the full schedule for this weekend is available a booktv.org or in your program guide. >> here is a look at some of the events booktv will cover this week. on monday look for us at the massachusetts historical society in boston or harvard university professor beth cowans will look at american urban policy post-world war ii. to the work of urban planner. then on thursday will be in austin, texas. for historian h.w. brands recount of the settling of the american west. on thursday at barnes & noble in new york city journalists pamela will argue that workplace initiatives have largely failed. on friday will be on the west coast

this human element of dealing with marines and marine families and all that, if you could just talk about the eople part of this equation. >> that ratio intentional, not by accident. perhaps unique is the wrong word, but the marine corps has never been an equipment-centric force. we are a people-centric force that bysie quiment and provides it to the human beings, but we're not bite equipment, and then let's worry about the person behind it. that part is not new. but how we train, how we select, how we retain all have to change. because we are stuck in an industrial age mode in many ways how we educate and, in fact, how we train right now. we have to adjust that. the healing part ink terms of what we bring into the service, how we evaluate, how we assess them also has to change. in other words, in the end for the marine corps, we are a very wered down, decentralized, allow great officers, they're the ones making the decisions. if you're that young a force, then you need to train them a higher level. and right now, we do not give them the reps that they need to build up that experience and

korean marines have continued. they have not but pause for a while about a year ago, and then restarted it and they have remained continuous exercises since them. obviously any slacking off of that at all. it's good for both of our marine corpses to be training alongside each other. was there another aspect, earlier aspect? >> what's your question about it? >> i think that's a fair question, but probably not for me to do the assessment of. >> morning, thank you, you spoke about the need to get ahead of the pace, that our adversaries are currently leading. and one of the things there is that do we actually know the real rules of engagement that we need to be entertaining in order to do that? 20 years ago, the guys who wrote unrestricted water had really interesting ideas, and the example that this lady gave could be one of them. i know it's not just the marine corps'responsibility, but are there people who are really looking at those kinds of rules of victory, let's call them. >> yes, but i think you highlight a rea

before i went into the marines. i would just tell you that the marines forget that is it too.ughter]. david: we do make a mistake or decision, you do you torture yourself about it or do you just see i've learned a lesson and i can't move on. jim: you do not forget when your lads lose their lives on what you did. you just have to live with it. david: let me ask two final questions that are political. first about president obama created you of your command. and there we're clear places in the book where you really did not think they were providing the right civilian leadership. despite that relationship and your overview thoughts. jim: i've got him curious. i would be in meetings with them. here's the thing, you heard when we we're introduced, then at times military leaders have to bring wars is he referred to is the graham realities into the discussion of politicians who are trying to go for peace and prosperity in healthcare and educate all the things you care about. again we defend the country so can have those things. somehow we have to bring that thinking in to the decision

the marines believe in command and feedback.we have done i use in the front lines listening on what happened from 100 different directions to take your hands off the wheel and do what needs to be done. >> and those that were so terrified you could hear each other's teeth chattering. have you felt that fear with the course of your career on the battlefield or somewhere else crack. >> absolutely. you are trained to overcome it. there are things you could do to overcome it. but there is nothing strange about fear. it will be there as part of every fight. the first time i got shot at i couldn't taste for three days. it scared the hell out of me. [laughter] that you are well enough trained of what guides you forward is you will be very very tired. i cannot even explain to you how tired you get in combat. some of you know what i'm referring to. referring to. . . . . anything anyone can get tired enough that it just does not work. what keeps you going is the affection and love for one another that i don't care what happens i will not l

[laughter] and said let me make it clear when yo give 100 percent i will be 100 percent satisfied. when somebody that

marines. in 1983, my battalion wased orered to beirut, lebanon, in support of the first battalion, eighth marine reg meant, and the 24th marine amphibious unit. i vividly remember the evenings we sat on the roof of the marine baraks with the american flag flying other our head. the barrage of small arms gunfire and mortar rounds made it very clear we were in harm's way every day. on this very day, 36 years ago, a terrorist affiliated with hezbollah and financed by iran drove a truck bomb into the baraks we called home. 241 american servicemen were killed. 220 of which were my fellow marines. 24 sons, brothers, fathers, and friends never returned home. 241 came in peace. 241 lives were stolen from us by an act of absolute, pure evil. it was the deadliest day for the marine corps since the battle of iwo jima. it is by the grace of god that i was able to come home to my wife, denise, who was expecting our first child. my battalion had shipped out 10 days before the bombing. madam speaker, today i

both terrestrial biosphere and the marine biosphere. these are fragile systems, and the problem is once you lose bio diversity, it's irreplaceable, basically. so i mean, what this is obviously both marine and terrestrial. we actually said that one million species out of 8 million species were threats of extinction. that's a huge number. it's not a sixth mass extinction like a lot of people say it is. because on that we lost 75% of species in the historical past. but the trouble is as you lose individual species, you change the interaction between the species, and actually very much changes the dynamics, the resilience of the systems, the eco system services they provide to us human people. and so we have to basically try to see how do you keep these eco systems intact? people tend to focus a lot on individual species, but the big challenge is keeping the eco systems intact especially terrestrial eco systems. so fundamentally, we have a major challenge. as i've said, there are practices and technologies that can address these issues in a

this is obviously both marine and terrestrial.e actually said that one million species out of eight million were in threat of extinction. we lost 75% species in the historical past. as you lose individual species, you change the interaction between the species and it very much changes the dynamics, the resilience of the systems, the ecosystems services they provide to us human people. we have to basically see how you keep these eco systems intact. people focus on individual species but the big change is keeping the ecosystems intact, especially terrestrial eco systems. fundamentally, we have a major challenge. as i said there are practices and technologies that can address these issues in a fairly straightforward way. >> there really is a moral dilemma here as well. in my day job i have a program under my jurisdiction that looks at ocean exploration. we are still discovering new species every time we go out with an explosion toration tour. it's a travesty that has to be considered. >> excellent, thank you. we have a few minutes fo

the list of the marine animals affected by plastic pollution grows. it is 90% of the seabird species and eaten by every species of sea turtle, and even our corals are threatened. in addition to polluting the marine environment, plastic poses a risk to human health. we are now seeing the plastic in our water, our food, soil, air and bodies. the plastic particles have been found in honey and beer to salt and tea. plastic is also affecting our climate. if plastic was a country, it would be the planet's fifth largest emitter of the greenhouse gases. with plastic production rates anticipated to increase, so will plastics' effects of the climate and the oceans. the most important thing to remember about plastic is that it lasts for centuries. this is what makes single-use plastic so profound. they are created from a material meant to last forever, but designed to be used once and thrown away. simply improving recycling rates will not solve the plastic crisis. of all of the plastic wastes generated only 9% has been recycled. that means that the vast majority

so a lot of people don't realize that the marines obligate every marine to go through marine combat trainingart of the marine band, you work in administration, it's the only branch of the military where every marine has to engage in combat train iing and for decades and decade, men and women trained separately. over the last couple of years, they have begun to integrate men and women to do marine combat training together. we spent time at camp pendleton and we were part of a squad that had about 3300 some odd men and 70 women. probably not the kind of environment i would seek out but for those women there, they had just come out of boot camp. it was the first opportunity to train with the men and you'll see how it all went down. i will say that it certain was pretty awe inspiring to see what these men and women put themselves through in marine combat training and to see them together was moving as well. >> how candid were the men? >> i think they were pretty candid and the idea behind integrating marine combat training is that they know where the lines are early on. all of these young marine

the '20 budget adds about 25 marine inspectors. our forces command, which takes a look at the training is looking at the entire marine inspector training system. how are we training, how are we giving them the skills to work on the waterfront that's sophisticated. i look at marine safety unit, texas city. that's a 55 person unit today. potentially in the next two or three years, you may see 200 plus go through their responsibilities. i don't think those same 55 people will be able to add that additional work. we're looking at growth, we're also looking at enhancements to their technical skills. we're taking a hard look and that's when you go back to the signs of effort on that maritime commerce strategy, the efforts has enhanced the partnership. it's getting our folks the skills we need, we're dealing with a real challenge with aging infrastructure in terms of our technology, our platform. enterprise mission platform. we need a renaissance in the coast guard. 1,000 ipads, many to marine safety professionals, they go out and do thei

throughout marin county, and that includes thousands here in novato. now, today i talked with some people who said that the power went out at their homes around 5:30 tonight. so they came here downtown to get a nice hot meal, and then lo and behold, the power went out again. so here at finnegan's marin restaurant and bar, you can see the lights are out. there were more than 100 people inside here when the electricity went out, and they were all forced to leave. >>> instead of a packed house at finnegan's marine restaurant and bar in novato, it's dark and empty because the power is out. part of pg&e's planned outage, one the owner was not expecting. >> we plugged our address into the pg&e website and it came up as, you know, we weren't going to be affected. but 20 minutes ago everything went out. so we were sort of caught with our pants down. >> reporter: without electricity, there is a 's no w register. they had to ask customers for their email addresses to settle later. this wine bar down the street had a generator so it was able to remain open. the o
