he settles and colonizes what is today utah and actually a larger portion of the american west. and he becomes a major long-term opponent to the u.s. government. and that gets him a lot of notoriety in the 19th century as well. >> so, where did brigham young come from and began his life? >> he grew up in basically a state western new york. he came from a very poor family. he didn't have any formal education. and was impoverished, really hard childhood. his family moved around a lot. once he was out on his own he moved around a lot. he was a craftsman, kind of a furniture paynter and never really got ahead. in his life entirely changed once he converted to mormonism when he was a little bit more than 30-years-old. >> so how did he need joseph smith etc? >> the book of mormon, shortly after it was published in 1830 some of his family members read it. he later said that he read it and he spent a lot of time thinking and out. he didn't jump on board right away, she was a little bit skeptical and a little uncertain and spend a couple of years considering the claim of this new work of

senator mike lee of utah was 1 of the 38 republicans who voted against the u.n. treaty. he agreed to talk us to tonight. he's a constitutional lawyer, was a law clerk for justice alito. we spoke a short time ago. senator, you said this treaty will somehow change u.s. law or could change u.s. law. former republican attorney general dick thornburgh who helped negotiate this treaty on behalf of president george bush said emphatically it would have no effect on u.s. law, not now, not ever. is he wrong? >> well, i respectfully disagree with the former attorney general's conclusions. i look at the treaty and i see one provision that arguably sets in place international entitlement rights. another provision that can be read to undermine the rights of parents to make decisions on how best to educate and otherwise care for their children with disabilities. and another provision of the treaty that can be read to obligate the united states government to pay for abortion services. >> you are just interpreting things. it doesn't -- it never uses the word abortion. it basically says o

utah today is making the beehive state. and i think brigham young hoped that their expense could be like that of california. form a state government and then be led into the union as an equal sovereign state. u.s. government -- the mormons ask for a huge swath of territory. u.s. government doesn't want to give them that much land, doesn't like their work. doesn't want to let a mormon controlled state into the union and so it said the territory of utah is created. the u.s. government, president gore doesn't like brigham young. >> how long did brigham young serve as governor? >> he served six years as governor spent was the head of the church of the same time? >> absolutely. >> was there political infighting within the mormon church, brigham young, did he have rival? >> not really. he saw to it that he did not have any significant rivals within the church, especially after they get to utah. there are other people who put themselves forward as possible leaders after joseph smith's death, but by the time to brigham young's fact

i spent a lot of time in utah. i happened to me some of his descendants. >> to the church cooperate in opening up their archives to you? >> cooperated a great deal. i came along at a good time. perhaps the church gave me access to the entirety of the teefor papers which really would fill up a pretty good chunk of our library. the massive amount of papers. the marriages, his conflicts with other figures in a church. i got to see overall 90 percent of what one to see. >> why you? why did you get an access? why are you writing this book? why did you write this book? >> i wrote it in part because i wanted to learn more about mormon is an. basically i am a student of the history of religion in the united states. if that is what you're interested in, it is hard not to get someone interested in the latter day saints. such a colorful and dramatic story. profits, persecution, polygamy. i got into the project as a way of learning more about mormon is and as a church and as a religion and also because brigham young is such a
