worse with intact but i try to do is track the long-term historical progress over centuries and millennia watch for days and hours and weeks so in other words follow the trend line not the headline and if you think about it for a second, take the bigger picture is even legal in every country in the world even though it's practiced in a few of the corrupt governments it is nowhere in the the western world anymore. the abolition of torture is now a legal in all western democracies and the right to vote in all democracies the spread of democracy itself is the form of mortal progress and there are now 118 democracies in the world in 1900 there were only a couple and actually the united states wasn't even a liberal democracy until 1920 when women got the vote so that's the big progress step by talking about the civil rights movement, same-sex marriage. stinnett and that you include in the moral arc? some people would say no. >> they are traditionalists that want to concern the old hierarchical sort of class-based society whereas the trend is to grant more individuals and more autonomy and free

. >>> it is a debate for millennia, and only intense got more with video. check this out. at the beginning of the video you can see people are leaving. people are milling around, finishing their drinks. later we see the bar men cleaning up and a couple of guys are totaling up the evening tally. but the video gets a bit weird. keep an eye on this chair. out of nowhere -- >> it looks like it's being tugged by a string. >> the guy turns out, what's happening? this is where i kind of missed it the first time. get your holy bible and water ready, charity, because it's about to get freakier. >> whatever. oh, my gosh. >> the creepy sneaky little gremlin thing that runs through in the background, no one even notices it. it runs through the thing, freaking me out. >> that wasn't a baby. >> apparently not. i told you it was a video with a twist. >> shall i start praying now? >> this is singapore. one of my mates opened this bar and runs it. even on facebook he posts, "this is kind of weirding me out." my mate runs this place and he's going, i don't know. as a friend who is the host

so we would have to wait millennia. whereas we can collect a seed from the remnant prairies bring it out to a cornfield that we're retiring, plant it, and it'll grow in that year. >> do you have a sense of how many seeds you and the volunteers here have planted over the years? >> about 250 species a year so it's millions and millions of seeds. >> conventional wisdom was to plant ten pounds of seeds per acre. but, bill ordered 50 pounds, and the fields blossomed, none of it would be possible without a corps of volunteers, like jay stacy. >> so what are you cutting today? >> this particular forb is called prairie coreopsis, scientific name corpeopsis palmata. >> how long have you been doing this? >> i've been doing this, this is my 21st year. >> i'm a prairie barber! >> all the tall grass planting was a little too successful. >> we just needed something to level the playing field. >> what they needed was something to thin out the grass, like an enormous vacuum. the solution? not a dyson, but a herd of bison. a posse of 80

i'm trying to do in "the moral arc" is track the long-term, historical progress over centuries and millennia, not days and hours and weeks. so in other words, follow the trend lines, not the headlines. and if you just think about it for a second, you know, take the bigger picture, the abolition of slavery, it's illegal in every country in the world even though it's practiced in a few corrupt governments, it's practiced nowhere in the western world anymore. the abolition of torture, it's now illegal in all western democracies. the right to vote by blacks, by women everywhere in the world, in all democracies, the spread of democracy itself is a form of moral progress. there are now 118 democracies in the world. in 1900 there were only a couple. actually, the united states wasn't even really a liberal democracy until 1920 when women got the vote. so that's the kind of big progress steps that i'm talking about, civil rights movement, same-sex marriage is a, is now legal as of, you know, barely a week and a half. >> host: and that you include in "the moral arc." >> guest: oh, yes, absolutely. >>

waters seen on once in a millennia. >>> a witness speaks out to cnn.e classroom during the massacre at oregon community college shares her story of fear and survival. amazing tale. >>> a bad situation taking an ugly turn in afghanistan. killing more than 20 people at the doctors without borders hospital. what does the pentagon have to say? >>> welcome back to "early start." i'm christine romans. >> i'm john berman. 30 minutes past the hour. deadly flooding in south carolina. governor nicki haley had deployed the national guard. the rainfall totals never seen before. the governor calls it a once in a 1,000 year weather event. five people dead so far. more than 200 water rescues. roads all over south carolina have been shutdown by flooding. cars and trucks have been washed away. this is an aerial view of hugee, south carolina. the levels rising so fast that the coast guard had to air lift this mother and her 15-month-old to safety. and this in columbia, south carolina. people rescued after being caught in the raging waters there. search and rescue operat

the church was the main driver of homophobia and transphobia for millennia and it is less marketable in the west now and the church is smart enough under francis to realize that. they're de-emphasizing it. to sneak around and encourage the people who are still emphasizing this kind of homophobia, it shows what the church would still be doing if the church could still do it, if it didn't hurt the church to be seen in the west publicly pushing this kind of homophobia. the church will get into bed with people like kim davis and people like mike huckabee from religious traditions that used to describe the pope as the horror of babylon. and the antichrist. and it just shows you that homophobia is really what unites people across different christian faiths now. it is disgusting. >> i went online last night -- >> shaun, please. >> there is one -- in part, we're kind of conspiracy theorists because when we learn this was in the work two weeks ago and know so little about it, i'm starting to wonder who was the motive who was behind planning the meeting and it seemed like almost an atomic bomb

,eoffrey: if there is a brexit it's a want in a millennia opportunity for paris.e reason you bring up paris is so we can do a week in paris. the argument about regulation, if you leave, you have to abide by the rules but you no longer get a seat around the table, do you buy that? do not. if you look at how people do business outside the eu and continue to trade successfully, they are not suffering from some of the burdens and regulatory difficulties that the eu seems at its heart. the problem is that the culture eliteilosophy within the in strasburg and brussels is socialist minded. they are not pro-free market. tom: or they are capitalism embarrassed. .uke: quite we embrace free markets more regularly. there's a philosophical divide. tom: can they move to an anglo-saxon model? luke: anything is possible. even france is embracing enterprise and entrepreneurship. otherwise they're looking at a stagnant future. as angela merkel says, the eu represents 7% of the worlds, 25% of gdp but over 50% of welfare spending. that is unsustainable and the eu must reform it will

understand to have sovereignty over the arctic, we have to support the people who have lived there for millennia. that is not what you are doing. we need to work with multilateral partners. obama just convened the arctic council in alaska last month. and canada was almost absent from that. we need to take a real multilateral leadership in the arctic and once again start investing in science and research. not to find ships but actually detect what is going on with the fragile arctic ecosystem and make sure we are serving. trudeau.nk you, mr. finally, get involved in the discussion, mr. mulcair. mr. mulcair: the arctic strategy has to begin with the people of the north. i am very proud to be able to say that tomorrow, i am going .ack it is a great opportunity for us in what mr.thing harper has failed. we have seen there were results. garbage cansinto to find food in the north. the minister sat in the house of commons, reading the newspaper. we have to understand that canada's arctic is the front lines of the battle against climate change. as the permafrost melts, we are letting go a lot of methane

people have celebrated monsters for years and years and millennia.t doesn't represent a direct threat. and then there is that whole other issue of we don't have as citizens a duty to report. i know that sounds counterintuitive. but effectively we don't. morally, you betcha. but legally, not so much. and that doesn't necessarily play true to what happened in charleston with that church shooter. because his friend was arrested but he's been charged with something a little different. lying to the authorities and not being forthcoming knowing about an incident while it is actually in play and this guy was on the run. so it is a little trickier. but effectively so much that is online carol is anonymous anyway. so that is your first roadblock. and then secondly, just because you read something ugly doesn't mean it is going to happen and b, doesn't mean you need to be involved, sadly, legally speaking. >> ashleigh banfield live this morning. thank you so much. this is something we should politicize. that was the message from an angry president obama. as he
