therere is a place for them, but they need to be regulated like every other animal. i just feel they haven't been. it has gotten way out o of control. our wolf season started 10 years ago. >> it was my interpretation that the states were not thrilled about t having wololves back inn idaho, wyoyoming, and montana. it's kikind of like whyhy did yu pick our s state? why do we have to live with them? our state, to be in while put t them in central park in new york? it is unfair. people tell me that we don't really care for wolves. >> the delisting of wolves from the endangered species list is agreed-upon based on the estherville science at the time. and that called for a minimum of 300 wolves in the rocky mountains states for thrhree consecutive years or 10 breeding years for each state. and we reach that in 2002. minimumolves is a number of walllls to have a viable wolf populalation. something higher was -- off to have a viable wolf population. something higher was reasonable. many peoeople felt that 2000 wolves in the northern rockies would eventually lead to dispersal

so therere is a lot o of hostily bebecause the folks didn't haveo grow up healing with wolves. all of a sudden, wolves are on ththe landscape andd it really s no right answer to the right number of wolves. we need to be more proactive in solving problems that are perceived by ranchers and also hunters so that we can n maintan the ecological impacts of wolves on the ground. >> what are the ecosystem impacts of wolves? predation is a prominent force. through predation, you can not only impact the species, but it can trickle down to other aspects of the food web, even down to the dictation. in the absence of wolves, elk herds got to such a high density that we saw the impact on grassland and some of the wooded browse. now that wolves are back, we are understanding that some areas of the park here on the northern range are starting to grow back yard that is important for other species, such as songbirds and beavers and other aspects of ecosystem. if wolf populations get too low, we are concerned as biologist for conductivity between the recovery areas and the subpopulations, for ge

therere are similar r questionso raise about iranan. so iraran is, yoyou know, the -- agagain, the adults in the room, like mattis and so on, say it's the greatest threat to peace, you know, the greatest sponsor of terrorism, on and on. how is it a sponsor of terrorism? well, could go through that. so, for example, in yemen, it'ts claimed that they are providing some aid to rebel tribesmen, houthi tribesmen, in yemen. ok, maybe they are. what is the united states doing in yemen? it is providing a huge flood of arms to its saudi arabian ally, who are destroying the country, who have created a huge humanitatarian crisis.s. huge n numbers of people killed, massive starvation. they are threatening now to bomb a port, which is the only source of aid for surviviving people. but iran is the major source of terrorism. professor emeritus noam chomsky in a public conversation we recorded in april at the first parish church in cambridge, massachusetts. when we come back we will talk about syria, wikileaks, and more. ♪ [music break] amy: patty smit

in the early days of the obama administration, therere were plenty of tea party protests, people dressedcornered hats. and none of those turned into a riot. jose antonio vargas is an illegal immigrant.at he is also the ceo of define american, a pro-illegal immigrant organization. he joins us. jose, why the violence? all of us can understand the disagreement over policy. but this is not a fight between left and right. this is the left setting fire, breaking things.ee >> first of all, i am neither from the left nor the right. i don't know if you talked to those people who were protesting and ask them if they were fromom the left. i don't know what that means. >> tucker: they were people shouting pro-illegal immigration slogans and setting things on fire. yes, they are pro-left. that is correct. >> i know many conservativesra and republicans who believe in immigration reform. >> tucker: for sure. that is true.re none of them are on the street yesterday in portland or in paris or berkeley. didn't talk to everyone of them. the ones shouting left wing slogans are left-wing. we have seen this f

therere is no reason why a orsosecutor should not lie withhold evidence, as they did in my case.here is no o reason why the fbi should not pick and choose who they prosecute or go a after, yu knowow i'm a b based on ideolog, personal factors. my motother was indicted for obststruction of justice, for hiding my laptptops inin her kin cabinet when they did not have a warneded for her house. hillary clinton, h had she b ben someonee else, probably would have been indicted. hahaving said that, george bush, george w. bush and many of his a administraration, had there not been aololitical e element thehe ornn establishmentnt sort of backscratching ethos, they would haveveeen inindicted ass well hd they just beenen regular people. the fact is, none of the people in the senate and conongress knw what iss normal for the fbi. there is no normal other than disingenuousness that changes from case to case. the e doj, the same thing. none of these peoplele who wereo upset ababout loreretta lynchch, hillary clinton ---- which is an egregious s act -- none of themm werere upset a abouthen the do

>> you know, therere so many rumors about this floating around and w have to be ver careful that some of this may be coming from the russians. but i know that cohen was mentioned in the steele dossier. look, i go back to that stance about that i think probably the white house is falling back on, which is this idea that as a private citizen, these acts may not be illegal, but it does hint to this larger thing. you know, was there an attempt by the trump associates or people in the trump sort of inner wing to have a dialogue with the russians? and i can tell you, chris, that if we take this from the russian standpoint, if jared kushner called -- and i'm a russian intelligence -- calls me up and says, you know, the son-in-law of the future president of the united states wants to have a meeting with you, of course i'm going to consider this from a russian intelligence perspective how i can take advantage of it. just from that alone, just to put yourself in a room like that, is just wildly, i want to say at a minimum, naive. it seems like these people were reaching out, and i have to belie

therere was a also a simimilar rhetoric of optptimism, the idea that trade would lead to enlightenmentuld be to liberalism, would be to peace. that pattern of the latete 19th centurury, we saw a break. we sawaw the first world w war, great depressssion going to secd woworld war. onee way to understandnd that ia long failure o of the fifirst globalizization. once we have that t in mind, we should not be surprised that t r own globabalization has contradictions, has oppoponents, that he generates opposition, that it generates ideas of the far right -- sometimes the far left -- that are against it. history instructs us that there is nothing new or nothing automatic about globalization, but it also instructs us that there are people who lived through the end of the first globalization. the kind of people eyesight in the book who observed these fx and he gave us a practical advice about how we can react. part of her own misunderstanding of globalization that it is all new is that history does not matter, precisely because it is all new. i'm trying to say, no the opposite. before,en globaliz

>> therere is no question that e media landscape is changing. many of us, there are new places to get news and information. local tv news is still the number one source for news, the number one source people have for information on local politics. there are many people who don't have access to high-speed internet service. their best chance to find out what is s happening in their communities is going to be over the public airwaves. that is white do so important have a diversity of voices committed to local -- that is why it is so important to have a diversity of voices committed to locals. it is find a have a deserve at a broadcaster. it is not fine to just have a conservative broadcaster on your airwaves. diversity of ownerership insures a a diversity of viewpwpoints. an informed have citizenry and a functioning democracy. what the fcc has done is scandalous. they have gone back and reinstated outdated rules just landke it appear in fcc like sinclair does not own his many tv stations as they actually do. if they get the still done and all pendi
