a, they haven't been fighting for a millennia. b, we care even if we don't care about the hundreds of thousands of people who are dying around the region being tortured being raped, are being kidnapped, are being solgd, even if we don't care at all about that as americans, we still care about the fact groups like isis, al qaeda, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, al nusra which is benefiting in syria, is rising up. ultimately they come for us. >> do we care ian bremer? you have a new book but also a "time international" cover store in which you poll americans as to whether they want to go around fixing the world's problems and what are the results? >> well the good news is that there really is space for a debate here that americans are all over the map in terms of whether they believe we need to live up to our values be more of a global policeman, lead if otherwise there would be a vacuum and thos that want to pull out. but there's a problem here. there's a huge generational divide. the younger you get, the more you have americans

and for millennia, instruments-- until the present day, really-- instruments were, and remain often and in some ways at the forefront of the technology. (narrator) the flute is one of the world's oldest musical instruments. over time, its construction, play-ability and sound have been determined by the technology available to instrument makers. flute production has been and continues to be a marriage of sorts-- a marriage of artistry and technology. (wassar) the flute is really a very simple instrument. what makes it different from other woodwind instruments like a recorder, is that instead of blowing down the instrument you're actually blowing transversely. you're blowing across the embouchure hole just the way you would blow across a soda bottle. [lilting flute music] (greer) in the early 19th century, late 18th century, flutes were very simple. they had one key or two keys if any and they were hard to play in tune with themselves or with anyone else in a small orchestra and consequently they had a reputation for being whistle-like and not real sonorous or real colorful. this is the m

heavy metals that have been locked in rock for millennia are exposed to air and water. >> pretty much anywhere you see cleared areas up here on mountain tops, those are surface mining sites. chemicals like the one that leaked into elk river are used to wash the coal at prep plants like this - to separate the coal from rock and clay. the waste that is left over - known as slurry - is pumped into impoundment lakes. sometimes it's piped into abandoned underground mines. if it leaks out, slurry can be a major source of contamination to groundwater >> mining impacts ground water, period. the problem is you've got just a myriad of contaminants and contaminant routes or pathways - surface waters, groundwater, air exposures - and so all kinds of contaminants and people being exposed in lots of different ways. so it's really hard to come up with - this contaminant travelled this way and caused this problem. >> is part of what you do an attempt to stop mining? >> no i don't think so. what i want is to better understand the impact - what has been called the 'externalities' of coal mining. to me,

, there is not a constitutional limit that tells people to marriage definition they have had for millennia is so irrational that it is unconstitutional. the fundamental rights doctrine -- >> but that is the question. whether they are quality limits. let's go back to the liberty limits. >> sure. >> the right to marry, within, blocky, turner. and all of these cases will we have talked about is a right a right to marry. we did not try to find the right particularly. is there a right to interracial marriage, right to marry if you are a prisoner? we just said there is a right to marry is fundamental and everyone is entitled unless there is some good reason for the state to exclude the so so why shouldn't we adopt the exact same understanding hear? >> well, the same cases you just mentioned, every single one of those talks about marriage in the context of men and women coming together in creating children. r bursch: they cannot celebrate intimacy. justice sotomayor: it seems to me that the principal issue to that. it said that you can get married if there is a child on the way. that would foster

something like that, because it's counter to what they believe marriage, defined a particular way from millennia, dan, is. so christians have been driving known. >> pause it here, you don't right. >> i do not belief in - i don't believe in gay marriage. do i believe someone can have the right. they can choose to have any union they like. do i believe, however, that that is a moral rite? as an evangelical christian, i'm not of the view that homosexuality is right in the eyes of god. so, no. position. >> yes. transportation... >> absolutely -- the evidence, daniel dennett... >> absolutely. people. >> absolutely. it shows for hundreds of years people have been kicking and screaming by secular movements. >> that is not so. it is out of a christian world view that your science is born. it's out of a christian world view that the government is born or ethics or morality. >> wouldn't aristotle, plato or that. >> they may well. >> you don't think a judeo christian world view is fundamental to western culture. >> historically it played an important role. i'll give you this much. religion served as a nurs

we're ending a millennia. my god! what is our view? what is our objective? brian: what is your take? mrs. graham was a good friend of his, did he ever serve on the board of the post? walter: yes. brian: it took him a long time to write that book. walter: i actually got to know him from some dinners at k graham's house. and we got to be friends. i read a draft when he was still writing the book. as you can tell, he was deeply troubled about what he had done. what troubled him most, as a man who dealt with details, that was his great strength supposedly, is how little he knew at the time he was defense secretary about the history and culture the context of what was going on in vietnam and southeast asia. he didn't know the relationships or lack of relationship. between china and vietnam. and cambodia. and russia. i never could understand, because there was constant writing about the history and he said he didn't have time to study outside when i was being handed every day. it is one of the problems in a position like that. in a funny way, you have much less po

it's survived so much turbulence in the region in the past two millennia. but now potentially at risk with isis sledgehammers, we've seen them destroy as part of their general bid, destroy anything they appear to be idolatry. palmyra. 50 to 100 regime soldiers killed in that fight, now the civilians in the town apparently witnessing isis quote, everywhere going door to door looking for regime sympathizers. it's a convenient place, vital strategic place for isis it has an airport, prison gas fields as well. most importantly it showsres up their southern flank and gives them clear access to major highways to damascus and syria, latter capital, both regime strongholds very significant change on the battlefield today inside syria just after a significant change in the battlefield inside iraq with isis taking ramadi. carol. >> nick paton walsh reporting live this morning. thank you. >>> i want to you take ta another look at the beautiful 2,000-year-old temple and tombs in palmyra syria, any day isis could destroy these temples or dismantle them and sell them on

mother nature can think in terms of centuries to millennia. >> what is it about the seismic pressure80 years builds up to the breaking point? >> well each fault line moves in a certain way. but here we have a very clean fault line. two plates basically pushing against each other at a regular rate. so while the san andreas fault is checkered with small cracks everywhere, and in japan, we have the collision of three plates in japan here we have the collision of just two plates, and so it's more quote unquote predictable than other collisions of plates. >> so obviously, we can't predict the future but some geologists that i've read about have said this could actually open the doorway to bigger more devastating earthquakes in this area in particular. what do you see as the sort of -- i mean how do you forecast this if you can? >> well it's hocus pocus and black magic. we really done have any definitive model to predict these things. but this area is more predictable than other areas. because the smooth grinding taking place at a regular rate. >> right. >> while other areas we have a chec

teeny tiny bit of oil across the ninth largest body of water in the world and it seeps out over millennianatural environments to exist around them. they are quite beautiful. at that is such a small amount in comparison to the huge momentous, enormous shock of 170 million gallons of oil being released at once at the bottom of the ocean floor. there is absolutely no comparison. but he is right that there is such a thing as naturally occurring microbes that eat oil. there are number of problems. first, the microbes did eat some of the oil but they only ate what they could, which means according to dr. joy, they left about 30 million barrels still behind, which is the equivalent -- axes me, three exxon valdeze s. what the that behind is what they did not want to eat, which is also the most toxic part of the oil. and that most toxic part of the oil is what remains on the bottom of the ocean floor. in addition, the dispersant that bp expelled into the gulf of mexico, dr. joy found, is actually a deterrent which kept away the microbes that would have eaten more oil. so the oil is toxic, the corr

he said this is the marriage definition we have had for a millennia.n we decide better than everyone in the history of the world? number two, justice breyer. he said, why is it that the nine of us get to decide? and you have chief justice roberts who says, if we decide this question it will cut off the debates that people normally have during the democratic process. host: dr. russell moore what are you hoping to hear from the supreme court when they rule in june? guest: i hope that the supreme court does not decide it will cut off debate on the marriage issue and impose a redefinition of marriage on all 50 states. i think we are dealing with a situation where the real question is, what is marriage? i think marriage is not created by government, it is not created by the courts. it is something that the government recognizes. justice kennedy, in his question , he is exactly right. this is a definition of the union of a man and a woman that has existed for millennia. we have not had the sort of redefinition of marriage anywhere in the world until 2001. is

he says this is the mayor's definition we have had for millennia.ow are we in a position that we can decide better than everybody else in the history of the world? you have just described with the same point about marriage and said why is it a thin line of us get to decide rather than the people? and you have chief justice roberts used as if we decide this question, it will cut a bit of a cathedral would ordinarily happy the democratic losses. those were really the themes we were pushing from the beginning and we felt very encouraged by that. 1 host: mary in worcester massachusetts. caller: good morning. i will just be to you about something that happened many years ago. i'm 84 years old and widowed and i live in worcester, i grew up in the midwest. i've come back to the east coast to study the history my husband taught about in high school in california. in world war ii, my brother-in-law was stationed as a copilot in england. and his wife, my sister, worked at the telephone office in kansas. she had a penpal she had a lady in britain that she wrot

andfor millennia the causes of war and the strategies associated with it were defined by particular margins involving a combination of resource and territorial acquisition therefore producing conflict population. and i suggest that for most people in paradigm continues to drive perceptions of war and war-making. i submit that with the close of the cold war and the rise of the united states hegemony, the breakdown of certain alliances , that we witnessed in the rise of al-qaeda and the decision-making of the united states and the aftermath of 9/11 was a sharp departure from the usual war making paradigm. i believe we are still in a transitional phase as it relates to this country handling the military and diplomatic strategy to account for this shift. the administration of george w. bush was the first such administration to have to deal with this paradigm shift. during the bush presidency, the white house was faced with the challenge of handling both the traditional territorial and institutional impacts of war in the form of external forces such as terror groups embedding the governance of s

>> well we're not going to solve that rift which as you say guess on for practically a millennia.e also have to look at how isis has exploded this because it wasn't just saddam who kept a lid on this. it's also the fact that isis purposely went out and tried to stir up these sectarian instincts and frictions and divisions by blowing up shia mosques, by antagonizing and killing the shia. and that i think has contributed to this escalation this orgy of violence. so we're not going to be able to fully resolve that. and i don't think we should try. but i think we can and have to insist that the iraqi government to the best it can tamp down these tensions. if iraq wants to stay one country, it's going to have to find a way to be inclusive of sunnis, kurds, and shia. and i don't think that these political problems that the iraqi government has is there yet their unwillingness out to compel us to put our boots on the ground instead. >> mosul fell to isis last year a city of nearly two million people. hundreds of thousands of people fled. isis remains in control. now ramadi, a city of hal

it's an absolute tragedy to see this city which could be witnessing -- which has stood for millennia which could be witnessing its final hours with isis moving in. isis a fundamentalist group that believes in the caliphate, that believes that only its version of islam is correct and that anything that came before it is not only darkness but that is a distraction from islam and that should therefore be obliterated. it's possible in the coming hours and days we could see another crime against cultural humanity carried out by isis. >> if they're able to get pal palmyra palmyra, does this mean they're within striking distance of taking over that country? because the regime in syria is so week it seems as they have to the dictator has very few troops left certainly very few areas he controls. could they in effect take over syria? >> we could see syria dividing into a couple of pieces with the kurds holding a piece and the kurds are consolidating their own territory and they will fight for their own rights and their own survival to the death. then you have the isis area which is growing an

people who have lived for millennia in communities in asia and africa and south america know how to liveith the fluctuations of rain in dry season and they know how to conserve and they know how to farm land. we commend with technology and we are ruining it. energy sources that don't come water have got to go. we are fighting the pipelines. the keystone accel pipeline which is a hot issue and will remain contentious through the next election but we are fighting future their pipelines in canada because they want to move a terrible stuff from the tar sands in alberta to export markets. tracking is a dangerous form of energy in terms of water. we have to say we can do better. we are going to come up with different solutions. i also call for and about the notion of using water as a source of peas rather than a source of conflict. about it for a minute. in a world where the demand for water is going straight up in the supplies going straight down it doesn't take a genius to figure out maybe there's conflict. maybe there already has been. the deep germ of many conflicts in the world have parti

justices expressed a concern that this idea has been ingrained in marriage, justice kennedy put it, millennia plus time. he wondered about the wisdom of changing that definition or requiring states to change that definition. host: ralph is up next. caller: could the young lady please explain how this affordable care act got to the supreme court? guest: the individuals here are available for subsidies. they are challenging the requirement that with the subsidies they are now required to purchase health care. they say without the subsidies they would be exempt from the law. guest: the subsidies themselves depend on language in the original law. guest: it is not technically a challenge to the law but a challenge to the irs regulation interpreting the law. host: bill king ways in on twitter saying after united citizens and hobby lobby can we trust them with marriage equality and the death penalty? this concept that they see themselves as decision-makers, is that effective at all as they are weighing these decisions? guest: they are ready talked about how justice scalia views outside pressures on
