people know it's there's this rather small society of fundamentalist mormons or the mainstream mormon church and something to do with them and they have a community you know they're spread out of the country their community in southern utah on the arizona border called colorado city and. they you know it's a very extreme fundamentalist form of mormonism that you know practices actively polygamy and one of their you know members is speaks with the voice of god as the mormon judged yes yes absolutely right but in the end it's some of the controls every facet of their lives. and. it's of from our perspective it's a very bizarre society and warren jeffs whose father was the prophet. pretty much seized when his father died control and became prophet was a sort of clarity prophet and took an already bizarre. what we would perceive as a bizarre way of life and just took it to extremes more specifically by marrying off girls of younger and younger ages his youngest wife was twelve years old he totally believed in me though i think he was a charlatan. i think it's a fascinating question i think he co

the mormon church changed their views in 1974 on this. you're a catholic, i was baptized catholic. it doesn't permit women to be priests. there are limitations on the roles of women in the church. that's church doctrine. it discriminates against women. the problem is marco rubio is trying to make a religious argument for the civil matter. we have equal rights under the law. he may endorse a religion that doesn't dpree with that. it doesn't mean people oppose him are intolerant. >> i think he's right. i will give you time after my interjection. the republicans know they can't champion traditional marriage in 2016. so they will play the victim and say, it's not about whether you are for or against gay marriage. it is whether you are intolerant toward people opposed to it. i don't think the democratic party is ever going to attack people with a different view. 42% of the country oppose it. why would any party kiss off 42%. >> marco rubio gave examples. >> i'm talking about the democratic party. >> i'm including them. there were those on the left who supported to chick-fil-a and variou

mormon church, first of all, age of marriage is very much younger. to target singles specifically. there are specifically congregations entirely young adults under 30 who are single. they have figured out a way to say you don't need to be married to hear our message. you don't need to be on the way to a family to hear our message. we have a message for everyone. there may be issues you disagree with. they are trying to figure out how to reach you at this point in your life. >> generational perspective, another thing the young cohort is dealing with, a rough economy. people coming out of college with more uncertainty than many other periods. talk to us about the way that dynamic and whether young people have so many financial insecurity concerns, spending more time looking for work or finding a second job. something that feels optional or get to it later gets crowded out, religious observance. >> that's one dynamic that happens. this emerging adulthood, period of 20s, changing roommates, jobs, finished with your education or not. it can feel very tran

religion to help them cope and how the government as well is relying on religion, including the mormon churchttle bit more about this. >> well, again, that's part of the risk shift is that welfare has increasingly gone from the federal government outsourced to states and then outsourced beyond that to faith-based organizations. and a lot of churches do great work in helping people in need, in giving them what food, shelter, clothing, all of those basic needs. but what churches and religions also do is provide people with faith that things will get better. but i found that this way of coping was actually only common among families in intense economic difficulty, poor and working class families. while that's a great source of support, in the book i argue that that shouldn't be the only place for people to go. because what can happen in that sort of environment is what if you're not a believer or you've not a believer of that particular faith. you might feel that you have to say things or believe things that you don't really believe in order to get the help you need. >> fascinating stuff. thank

i mean, if you know i mean arguably you could say take the mormon church for example as a classic examplegroup that feels very strongly about a specific issue. is the supreme court going to find in favor of the church doing something? unilaterally? probably. i mean, if it -- if it violates their religious views. and religion is protected in the first amendment in a very unique way. >> right. >> those amendments are overrated. first one, the second one, the third one. we'll see about those. >> judd gregg is our guest host. he will be with us through the rest of the show. >> coming up, when we come back, the "squawk" newsmaker of the morning, new jersey governor chris christie. he's going to be our special guest. he's going to join us on the set right here at 7:30 a.m. eastern. fresh from signing a new $32.5 billion budget for the garden state. we're going to talk to him a lot about that, but first coming up right now, oppenheimer funds is under new management. art steinmetz begins his job as ceo today and he's going to be talking to us about the current market environment ahead of the jobs
