. >> robert morales is serving 35 years to life for burglary under california's three strikes law.ellmate, zachariah guzman, has a 16-year sentence on several burglary and drug-related charges. >> you step out of bounds and disrespect somebody, you better expect that same disrespect back to you. you don't know in what amount that disrespect is going to be. you can have words with somebody. you better clean it up later. >> if you step on a man's foot, for instance, this man is doing 275 years and he doesn't give a [ bleep ] the sun don't shine. and you don't apologize. he may very well go back and show up with a knife and come and decapitate you. and it's happened. it's happened. it's happened in prison. i have seen it dozens of times over the 30 years i've been incarcerated. >> guzman and morales warned that on this yard, even jogging around the track can have fatal results if you don't know the rules. >> when you get too close to somebody on the track, you cough, let them know you're there, especially if you're running and there's a man walking in front of you, you want to yell ou

[applause] more on the pope's agenda, let's bring in father robert, cofounder of action tank focusthe think on moralthank you for joining us. i was surprised to hear that the pope was speaking in english. it seems the majority of his speeches will be in spanish. father robert: yes, it is an effort to speak english. this is his first visit to the united states and he is never lived in an english speaking country that i know he was working very hard. i'm not sure if he is scheduled to speak in english tomorrow to congress. alix: the reason i brought that up is it points to what in essence he advocates when he is in the u.s. he advocates a stance on immigration, income inequality. father robert: also, you notice what you said about religious liberty. he not only talked about in general terms religious liberty but identified himself with the bishops of the united states who have a deep concern about the religious liberty issues related to health care bills. alix: what is his goal? being hit, first time in the u.s., only the third pope to meet with the u.s. president, what does he want to get out of talk

but i'd like you to lay out sort of the moral call of your book. robert: thanks to the president and to arthur for joining me in this conversation. i think in this domain there's good news and bad news, and it's important to begin with the bad news because we have to understand where we are. the president is absolutely right that the war on poverty did make a real difference, but it made a difference more for poverty among people of my age than it did for poverty among kids. and with respect to kids, i completely agree with the president that we know about some things that would work and things that would make a real difference in the lives of poor kids, but what the book that you've deferred to, "our kids," what it presents is a lot of evidence of growing gaps between rich kids and poor kids, that over the last 30 or 40 years, things have gotten better and better for kids coming from well-off homes, and worse and worse for kids coming from less well-off homes. and i don't mean bill gates and some homeless person. i mean people coming from college-educate

morally obligated to defend this president every time? the question, was this a setup? do supporters even care? robert, was that anthony kumia?e had the same acting ability. how did trump handle it? >> like i said before, first of all, he turned to some like christopher walken in true romance. there's this guy. it was weird. but then, i don't think he heard him. he actually did that wife thing again. we're going to look into it. give me a few months. i think he handled it perfectly. he didn't hear what he said. this guy was definitely a plant. there's no way. human beings don't act that bad. >> kimberly, they still haven't found the guy. he's still unidentified. that means he's a plant. they found joe the plumber in ten seconds. >> of course. there you go. nobody wants to put -- they're trying to make trump mess up, right? and have him slip up. i don't know where it's coming from. if you would think it was somebody with a comedy plant, someone would come forward, lay claim to it. so maybe it's from another political camp, who knows. it seems so fake and artificial. the guy's delivery is like -- come on, we're not that stupid.

moral qualms and doubts that hiroshima and nagasaki brought them. ernest lawrence was not among them. intro specifics was not his strong suit, and henrys friend robert oppenheimer declared that through the atomic bomb program physicists had come to know sin, he responded rather angrily that nothing about his work caused him to know sin. and that was still true in the 1950s when lawrence became the nation's most credible scientific promoter of the hydrogen bomb. a weapon that many of his colleagues viewed as nothing but a genocidal device and even the pentagon acknowledged could never be used in a military campaign but only as a weapon of psychological terror. for many layrsons, the protect of the hydrogen bomb fueled fear that big science had moved into the disquieting mode of, if it can be done, it will be done, and it should be done. science's capabilities had begun to exceed the ability of our social and political institutions to manage them. this showed the flaws of lawrence's paradigm of big science, which was built on unquestioning conviction that science was capablef meeting the greatest technical challenges as long as scientists were joined

robert barren, auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese of los angeles. he's alongside st. patrick's cathedral. bish, if you could pick up on that point, the sense that this country yearns for someone with this kind of moralauthority or voic voice. >> the pope's presence here, these pictures are incredibly moving because he's operating not just as the leader of the catholic church but as a spiritual leader of the whole world. one of the things that strikes me is what was done on september 11 was done in the name of the god of abraham. so special the abrahamic religions, judaism, islam and christianity, have to come together strongly to say no, to speak out in protest against that abuse of the god of abraham. so it's very important today that these religions, especially together to protest but also just this great sign of compassion. it's interesting to the christian religion that we go precisely to places of great suffering and there we find god, paradoxically. in fact, i saw cardinal dolan there, as all bishops wearing the pectoral cross. i have one on now: a cross is not just a bland religious symbol, it's an evoication of this terrible tragedy, this roman crucifixion, this man being put together but so

roberts. that you have to separate out religion informing politics and informing our conscience and moral issuesfrom religion operating as a political entity. i do not think that is the case here. i think religion in the local mix in united states is a rather robust presence. i think it is a robust presence that influences a lot of our policy and our conversation, but also separate from the government and a way that i think is certainly healthy and has served us well. host: titus is calling in from michigan on the democrats want. please go ahead. caller: thank you. the pope has spoken. he is coming to the united states at this critical moment in our lives and it is a blessing. i guess my question to your guest is -- now that he has taken a stand on cuba and iran and the need for congress to work together, what can be done to really make sure that his words are heated? eded? thank you. guest: we certainly have seen the result of his behind-the-scenes activity in both spheres. he is not a direct player in the united states. how it plays out with iran -- those steps will be tentative and incrementa

robert kennedy used was "this should not happen in america." and let me repeat that certainly i believe that this should not happen in america. i cannot conceive of any economic or moralargument that would justify leaving our children, our disabled, our elderly hungry because a few people in this body want to make a political point over a social issue. that is unacceptable. i do a lot of town halls back home in oregon, one in every county every year. and i hear from folks who are worried over a lot of issues. they're certainly worried about finding a good job. they're certainly worried about the cost of sending their children to college. they're certainly worried about cuts to head start programs and the quality of their public schools. they're worried about the possibility of a secure retirement. and now because of the threats of partisan point-making here in the body of the senate, they're going to have to worry about whether they can put dinner on the table and feed their children. that is just wrong, and the american people are sick and tired of congress manufacturing crises like this. well, let's move beyond this brinkmanship and this hostage politics. let's aver
