and that worldview is bigger than the islamic state. decades, governments in the region have moved the needle in acertain direction, toward specific type of self as him solecism. state's's image and appeal to muslims is part of a larger battle occurring about authority, credibility, worldship in the muslim and especially in the sunni arab muslim world. michigan, david is waiting on our independent line. isis andhe leader of present. a trusted this guy so much, they put him in charge of the prisoners so that they would not riot. the biggest problem was when they disbanded the iraqi army, they put the officers in with this leader. the united states wonders why they hire having so much trouble and they had the chance to beat this guy. when baghdad he was briefly in campbell, for a few months, he was not a leader. he was a radical, a radical , aric, a university student person who was not a good guy, but he was not a leader and not the leader of the islamic state. we need to be precise about the details about that. host: bringing it back to

for violating the ground rule that since the last 500 years, we've lived in a kind of copernican worldviewwhere the earth was not the center of the universe or the solar system come it was a planet of the solar system, the sun wasn't at the center of the galaxy it was just a common star in the galaxy. the galaxy is one of hundreds of billions of galaxies in the cosmos and get we are singular. life and intelligent wives and ourselves at the moment we know of no other form of life, intelligence life and the copernican worldview to say they are all over the place and it's crucial to test that because if that turns out not to be the case, that's going to shatter the worldview. >> so, my answer would be more along the lines of courses are excellent reasons why we want to do that and finding out the answer would be fascinating to change the worldview but also the process tells us a lot about ourselves, tells about our hopes and dreams and about how we can work together as a country and as a society in the world, so for me i want to emphasize the process of looking for that answer whatever the an

mark: in your view, the rubio worldview is like the clinton-obama worldview, go in and make changes. cruz he was more cautious. sen. cruz: it is two things. one is an over eagerness for military adventurism. every problem is send in the marines. america historically has been reluctant to send our sons and daughters into harm's way. two it is systematically, failing to appreciate that when you topple a stable government and don't have a good alternative, creating chaos for radical islamic terrorists to step in is dangerous. in syria, but hillary and senator rubio are making the same mistake. just like they did in libya, they attracted top a -- trying to topple assad. assad is a bad man, terrible human rights record. but if the obama administration succeeds in toppling assad, isis will take over syria and that hurts national security interests and what we are to be doing instead is defeating isis. senator rubio went on tv and basically suggested that anyone who doesn't think we should get in the middle east civil wars is somehow an isolationist. that is his standard attack. either you

that was my worldview, and they tell me there's nothing to envy in these words. we are the best country on earth and everybody wants to be like us and they want to come to our country. and i would sing the songs, but our life was not that good. it was not really paradise. it was living here. i remember because i was born in 1993, and after soviet union collapsed there was stop providing food to north korea and that's how they stopped the russian system and only give food to the elite people. people were discriminated by the regime. that's how during the 1995-1998 some people say 3 million people die, and total population was 22 million, 24 million you can imagine how many people died during that time. many people lost their family members, including mine. one day i was very young and i saw my grandma was taking thoughts of medicine, and i was asking her, trauma, why are you taking so many medicine? she was telling me i want some rest. and she was 59 american age, they're young. after a few hours later i hear my uncle was screaming and asking my grandma to wake up

student protesters there are pampered teenagers that are scared of an idea that challenges their worldviewt you take exception to that. >> i think that is stupid. i don't want to sound like an arrogant, ivy league professor, but i think that is just a stupid argument. if it was not for what the , we wouldere doing not be having a conversation about a figure like woodrow wilson. it's easy for us, for example, to dismiss the importance of the symbol of the confederate flag, because we tend to displace the burden of racism on to that region. woodrow wilson is much more complicated, because he has national stature. about being caught hold or spoiled or not committed to free speech or unwilling to listen to counter arguments. i honestly don't want to listen to an argument that suggests someoneave to endure making a claim that i'm less than or inferior. rightt think it's fair or for an institution like yale to have john c calhoun, who was a of aor, as the symbol residential college and i would have to live there. it makes no sense to me. i find those sorts of arguments not only disingenuous, but

that's just another way of figuring it out but also to see where people disagree with how their worldviews informed by their geographical location and sometimes not. i think that is really so important because it's the author but it's the newspaper and it's so different than just reading someone's journal. >> again i'm doing something a little different than what you all are doing so when i think about the dominant record, james baldwin, who -- i'm from mississippi -- james baldwin was born somewhere around here and he said, i think it's important, he was born in new york and he said i'm getting become a writer. god, satan the mississippi notwithstanding. i think there think there record that i had to confront and reckon with or except to a degree was this understanding that the world and parts of the nation that they have that little black boys and little black girls in mississippi are not supposed to survive. so i think in reckoning with the fact that not only should we survive in spite of what the nation and our state have done to us that we should accept our greatness and majesty and t

it is important to understand an enemy through their own worldview. if we don't to that, we are not going to fundamentally understand groups like isis and al nusra. a few of youradd questions, but i think we need to answer the biggest question from all three of you, is isis theect that it can disrupt al qaeda network and become the single operator in that network? ofwon't be able to see more isis -- reason why is because a partl benefit as being of the network. we see that in egypt which was with an al qaeda aligned group that flipped over to isis. the idea that it is unexpected, -- you can't have but i think the eclipsing al qaeda are way -- >> -- a central event there? >> not necessarily. i do think one person. so the final, very quick points -- it's not even close. it controls significant areas and it has areas it didn't have before. if you look at al qaeda and --ir power on april 30 20 11 april 30, 2011 versus today is just tremendous. >> we have to take it back. the international community is going after the fruit and keeping the tree. we will go

everything.mber john: student protesters are pampered teenagers who are scared of an idea that challenges the worldviewme you take some exception to that. >> that stupid. i don't want to sell mike and arrogant ivy league answer, but i think that's a stupid argument. if it wasn't for what the students are doing and what they've done, we would not be having a conversation about a figure like woodrow wilson. it's easy for us to dismiss the importance of the symbol of the confederate line because we tend to displace the burden of racism on to that region. woodrow wilson is more complicated because he had national stature. it's not about being called her spoiled. it's not about free speech are being unwilling to listen the counterargument, i honestly don't want to listen to an argument that the gas i have to endure someone making a claim that i am less than or inferior. rightt think it's fair or for an institution like yale to have john c calhoun was a trainer as the symbol of a residential college. it makes no sense to me. i find all sorts of arguments not only disingenuous, but difficult to take seriously

it is always worth understanding the enemy and understanding that enemy through their own worldview. if we decide because we do not want to do that, we are not fundamentally not going to understand groups like isis. i think often, we handcuff ourselves in that way. get theld like to answer to what i think is everyone's biggest question from all three of you. can isis disrupt the al qaeda network and become the single dominant port in the jihadist movement? where stuck in a period they will come back -- combat and will not be able to see what we see at the moment with isis and where al qaeda is going to reassert himself -- themselves in about 10 years? >> since the odds are against isil, they could. it is a handicap against it. the reason why i think odds are --inst, the key committed very strong , quorum that buys into the al qaeda network and they all benefit from being a part of this network. things like a change that could -- whatbe sawing egypt we saw in egypt and ultimately flipped over to isis. egyptian counterterrorism authorities went after their leadership relentlessly in 20

it is always worth understanding an enemy and understanding that enemy through their own worldview. if we decide that we do not want to do that, we are not fundamentally understand groups like isis and nusra. >> i would like to get to your questions. i would like to get the answer to what i think is everyone's biggest question from all three of you. is isis correct in that it can disrupt the al qaeda network and become the single dominant port in the jihadist movement? are we stuck in a period where they will combat with affiliates and will not be able to see what we see at the moment with isis in the lead, or is al qaeda going to reassert itself in five to 10 years? >> since the odds are against isil usurping al qaeda, they could. it is something i would handicap and i would handicap against it. the reason why i think odds are affiliates, the key you have a very strong coremitted for that -- that buys into the al qaeda network and they all benefit from being a part of this network. things that could change that would be like what we saw in egypt. egyptian counterterrorism authoriti

ingrained in your worldview through the doctrine of your religious ideology or theology. so, ok. let us go through the roots of this. involve this corporations today who are funding science deniers to go on television and say things? in the 1800s, it is evolution, in the 1920's, it is bolsheviks and anarchists. 35-45, roosevelt into a massive corporate funding of anti-a government labor unions. anti-collectivists organizing around the country. one of the most massive propaganda campaigns ever launched. in the 1950's, the red scare. let's not forget, god was -- godless communism. in the 1970's, the christian right which a number of scholars point out when you have the collapse of the this gary threat becomes internal. there are internal subversives. the internal subversives are people who want you to embrace this false claim of science and reject your biblical understanding of god. and they have taken position in the office, both the political scene and in religion which happens to tie into one of the most significant aspects of evangelical and fundamentalist sanity in the united

coherent giving worldviews. that is healthy for a political party. staff had this article.hink the merits of marco rubio and ted cruz as candidates. i think it's an intelligent case. if trump were to win the nomination, he would be the weakest. nomination, ithe will be such an earthquake in american politics it's assumed to assume that everything goes back to normal. maybe they would stay mobilized for the general election. there would be a lot of democrats who would decide they would want to vote for donald trump. i think trump is a wildcard. if people think they can say with assurance, it's foolish to say he could never be president. i think it's unlikely. i think others will have better chances for obvious reasons. i do think a matchup with rubio and ted cruz are probably the top two. hillary clinton would be very interesting. the democrats have always had good candidates. now suddenly democrats -- republicans look that way. that's a ticket of people who are in their 40's. secretary clinton hasn't been around a long time. she first came to the white house in 1993. i thin
