character like trump and the hypocrites that they are. >> reporter: wallnau admits that trump, twice divorced and roundly accused of other moral failings, does not align with traditional evangelical expectations. >> i said listen, give the guy some time. he doesn't know who we are but his values resonate with our community. god's raising up an outsider. >> if at the end of the day we haven't activated you to either be a'll po watcher, a poll worker, somebody involved with election integrity or somebody that can help somebody else get out a vote, i'm not sure that we've done what we have to do. >> what i watched today, was that about spiritual revival or political activism? >> that's a combination platter. it's about spiritual activism. >> can an energized christian sit out this election? >> i don't see how. anyone with moral clarity sits out an election like this. the issues are so clear. and i tell christians, i say what would you say during the civil war? >> reporter: the terminal at

wallnau's revivals is apoca apocalyptic. >> it's not us that's dangerous. it's them. >> reporter: describing a spiritual battle between pious believers and demons who speak through democrats or liberals. >> it's not just the person. it's a spiritual force. >> demonic or -- >> demonic, yeah. they can influence people with bodies. >> they believe that it was a demonic conspiracy that stole the 2020 election. >> reporter: religious scholar matthew taylor has made a careful study of wallnau and others in the charismatic christian movement. >> they're using the experiences of charismatic spirituality to galvanize christians politically. and saying now you've had these experiences, now you need to go and use that to change our country. >> reporter: wallnau rarely grants interviews but is willing to describe as he sees it the forces arrayed against trump. >> he's virtually up against academia, media, government, the intelligence communities, and to an extent a whole lot of corporate businesses. >> reporter: he believes

hyperfocused christian political energy can overcome those perceived obstacles. >> the tendency to just look at elections, pray about them, eat popcorn, watch the result and then go to bed is over. christians as believers probably should be engaged in this process of shaping culture far more aggressively and intentionally from now on. >> reporter: as for their impact on the election, god only knows. on the election, god only knows. for "eye on (♪♪) “the darkness of bipolar depression made me feel like life was moving on without me. then i found a chance to let in the lyte.” discover caplyta. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar i & ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. anti-depressants may increase these risks in young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke.

the eyes of the art world have turned to the national gallery of art in washington, where a new show called "exhibition paris 1874" opened on sunday. it includes impressionist paintings that rarely leave europe. michelle miller caught the show in paris. >> reporter: in the final days of its showing this summer visitors packed into the musee d'orsay eager to take in works of art usually displayed in museums around the world. from renoir to missaro, paul cezanne, edgar degas, claude monet and edward manet, the first impressionist paintings back in paris all displayed together just as they were 150 years ago. >> the birth of impressionism is also in a way the birth of modern art. >> reporter: curator sylvie patrie began planning for the exhibition back in 2017. >> my favorite moment is when you open the crates, you see the

work and then you know you put it on the wall and then you try to create a dialogue between the works. so it's really magic. >> reporter: both in person -- >> madam. mademoiselle. >> bonjour monsieur. >> reporter: and an immersive vr experience patrie and her team recreated the magic of the first exhibition of a renegade group who redrew the rules of art. frustrated by exclusion of the official salon, they band together. >> how is it received at the time? >> i mean, it was what we call today failure in a way. >> reporter: many of them had just returned from the franco-german war, trading arms for brushes, using dabs and strokes to sketch out a world changing with the industrial revolution. >> i just love this piece. >> reporter: monet named his masterpiece "impression sunrise," inspired by a port in the english channel. >> it's an industrial part of

the port. you can see, you know, chimney with the smoke. it's very ordinary. something normally you hide. and the other reason why it was shocking at the time, if you look carefully at this painting, i mean, it's just, you know, brush strokes. it's very sketchy. it's not finished. but there is a signature and there is a date. 72. so it means that according to the artist it is finished. >> reporter: and when did it become uber fantastic? >> quite late, actually. which is interesting. i would say in the 1950s. so it went quite unnoticed when it was shown in 1874. >> reporter: paris 1874 also displayed the official works of the salon at the time, showing visitors what was in vogue to contrast with the impressionists. >> so this is one of monet's masterpieces. >> reporter: titled "poppies," which monet painted in 1873.

>> if you go very close to the painting, i mean, it's just, you know, patches of colors. especially the red. what matters to monet, it's really to give this impression, this association that it was done, you know, on the spot, that it was a pure reaction to the light and to what was going on in front of him. of course, this is not really true. >> reporter: it also featured works not normally accessible to museumgoers like renoir's la parisienne, on loan from a museum in wales. to the works of artists who were pushing boundaries like berta moriseau. >> she was the only woman artist to participate in in show in 1874 under her name. it was very brave. >> reporter: while these works are now part of the artistic canon, worth tens of millions, they barely made an impression on buyers.

>> the artists exhibited something like 200 works but they sold only four works in 1874. >> four works. >> four out of 200. because they were looking for a market. they wanted to sell their works. so initially it's commercial and at the end it's artistic. >> that was michelle miller.
