still got a long way to go. we have done a good job in combating homophobia. interesting to me. nearly three quarters of republicans identify themselves as white and christian. and they see their america being eroded day by day. they — white, christian america — represents only a3% of the population right now. there is this sense of polarisation, and a great deal of among parts of the america that we see today. there is a lot of fear, and there is fear for good reason. if you were 62 years of age and approaching retirement in three years, and you were one of the half of older workers in america who had no money in the bank, do you know what? you'd be afraid. if you were a kid graduating college $75,000 in debt and couldn't find a decentjob, you would be afraid as well. if you were a single mom making $30,000 and spending $10,000 a year on childcare, you would be afraid as well. so i think there is a lot of economic anxiety which then translate itself into cultural issues. but answer your broad question, there is no doubt in my mind that over the last 50 years,

that story prompted a long time president of another school to write a letter to jerry. it is a letter that reverend falwell would have been very, very pleased to read. jerry tells me that letter now hangs on the wall in the boardroom of your great university. it came from the late father theodore hexberg, the beloved president of the university of notre dame 35 years ago. like this school's founder, he was a truly kindhearted man of deep faith. in the letter, he recalled that notre dame's own meteoric rise from a small, midwestern school to a national football powerhouse. then he wrote something so amazing and generous, he wrote, i think you are on that same trajectory now, and i want to wish you all of the best and encourage you from the starting, and from being able to start very small and arriving in the big time. thanks to hard work, great faith, and devotion, those dreams have come true. as of february of this year, the liberty flames are playing in the highest level of competition in ncaa football. don't clap, that could be tough. i am a little worried. i don't wa

the bigger point is that he really would appear that you think of any i finally found that out in a long granny just people living in india's hearts and average regions figured out a way of collecting monsoon waters in specially created pools they use them until the next rainy season but the monsoon has been late for the past two years and only water was used up a long time ago. i'm like oh yeah we're going to go down by that you're born you're going to go and i would be right there bob with. louise i gave world where i got my last meal made out and i would go. you know either. by you know i don't know that. they used to be a pond here but the local farmers have built mounds around their fields to keep the water for themselves rather than let it run into the common reservoir. and so the reservoir which is used to serve the village all year round is now only hall full by the time the heart is spring months arrive it's already dried out. she doesn't have anyone to look after her baby at home so she takes him to work with her. with other women she's working on deepening the pond to collect
