i grew up southern baptist. in dallas texas and in virginia. >> you certainly have the evangelical and a great. if you will. you have the conservative background and you've written conservative outlets. you define yourself as a conservative. you make no bones about the. that is a position you are coming from. when you're riding to critique donald trump. you start the book with several stories but one really, a attention because i think you mentioned that is kind of the sort of window into how you felt about the way even jelly because were flocking to donald trump of the terms of the primaries and the general election as well. you tell me the story again and for those who are watching, tell the story about 1984 and you are in dallas at a protest with your parents. you know where i'm going with this. tell us the story. >> that's a great story. >> how it kind of came back again as the election was going on. >> my father sometime before i was born, he began riding apologetic norman geisler, who passed away recently.

baptists.the episcopal church didn't have, as far as i know, didn't have a northern -- it was a minor church in the north and minor church, in terms of numbers in the south. the religion to -- the religions broke, but there was no religion that was confined, as far as i know, to the south and to the north that was distinctive. there were baptists and northern baptists and southern baptists and went off in different directions. that comes late, in the 1840s and '50s and they begin to break apart. >> the calvanist church and puritan? >> oh. that's a little misleading because the puritan work ethic is often associated with capitalism. they wanted to keep -- they didn't celebrate work as a source of productivity in society but celebrated it as a way of keeping the lower orders busy so they won't get into trouble. the interesting question, where does this celebration of work come from. the united states celebrates work in the antebellum period to an extent not duplicated elsewhere in the world. if y

baptists, northern baptist, southern baptist. but, that comes late. 1840's and 50's they begin to break apart. not sure, just by your question. >> [indiscernible] >> oh, that. that's a little misleading because the puritan work ethic is often associated with capitalism. the puritan certainly did -- that. they did not sort of celebrate work ethic, but as a way of keeping the lower orders busy so they would not get into trouble. the interesting question is, when does the celebration of work come from? the united states celebrates work in the antebellum. nothe antebellum period replicated anywhere else in the world. one of the things -- when he comes here in the 1830's is the extent to which people are celebrating work. even the manual labor. he says, and the making of money. which elsewhere among aristocrats -- elites, is held in contempt. says look, frenchmen like money too. but they don't ever say that they like it. they always hide that fact. says,really surprised he she went to albany and he had a whole list of offices from the

and it's hard to reject someone who is running the oldest baptist church west of the mississippi. and so i started work with the board chair and the board of directors about 18 months ago. and we're actually at the point where we think we'll be able to start a capital campaign by the end of the year and renovate that building next year. very interesting working on that project, because as you probably know, the western addition was really destroyed by redevelopment. and a lot of those congregations were basically shredded apart. this congregation is the largest congregation still there. so i feel that it's -- i'm fully proud to work on it. again we've been doing that work pro bono. we brought in payton turnbull to do a bunch of work pro bono. we're getting a bunch of work done, it's not like they have lots of money to try to renovate the building. the goal for the renovation is to do a seismic upgrade, all a.d.a. and all of the same things we did to st. joseph's, including not adding an mezzanine. we would like to try to add some other, gosh, add-ons to the facility and make it a

and because of that, chris is planning on helping to restore third baptist to its luster, as it should be. and we thank him for that. also as i'm here today, i would also say that reverend brown would also like to endorse lydia sow as well. thank you so much. >> hello, my name is sarah white. i'm associate director of housing development, with t.n.d.c. i'm here to support lydia sow's nomination. tndc's mission -- we provide tenant and community services, community organizing and property management. we currently own and operate about 43 buildings across san francisco. and i've come to know lydia through her work on the arts commission, most recently i worked with her on an architect selection process for a project we're working on in the comptons, transgender, cultural district. in my interactions, i'm impressed with her technical skills and reviewing the proposals before her. what really stands out for me is her leadership skills. she's diplomatic, thoughtful, kind and she will listen to the perspectives of all parties involved. balance competing interests and build consensus around p

poignant moments of my life or my career here in the senate came in 2017 on sunday service in a little baptist church right outside of sutherland springs texas. twenty-six lives were lost that day, 20 people injured. and the entire community outside of san antonio was shaken to their core by this hateful act. and then was court-martialed and then was serious domestic abuse that hasn't been loaded into the relevant background check database. even though federal statute clearly states all federal agencies areeqre required to do so. as a result the gunmen could unlawfully purchase for firearms, three of which he leused to carry out this despicable act. in the wake of any tragedy you cannot help but ask what if and in this instance it was our duty to ask those questions. but we knew the answer. the criminal record was uploaded into the background check system the shooter would have been prevented from purchasing these firearms used in the attack. i have searched my conscience and the record to figure out exactly what we might be able to do to prevent acts like this fromm occurring in the future. t

the loss of his daughter with the loss experience here with the loss of four young girls in this baptist bombing 56 years ago. he also talked about what inspired him to get into public service, talked about how both he bombing here, also the king galvanized many in his generation, those white americans who felt standing on the fringes were not enough and going to charleston, south carolina, weeks after he lost his eldest son bo, remember sing amazing grace is something he had through yet another loss, those were interesting. the larger opportunity for the former vice president is to deepen and remind voters what has been the core of his message, let's take a listen to him talking about that this morning. >> brought to these shores over 400 years ago. in the centuries long campaign of violence, fear, trauma, brought upon black people in this country. the domestic terrorism and white supremacy has been the antagonist of our highest ideals from before the founding of this country. mobs, arsonists, bomb makers. lone gunmen, as we all now realize this violence does not live in the past. befor

. >> did you grow up southern baptist? >> yes we went there for church in dallas texas. >> so you do have the evangelical pedigree and the conservative background and you make no bones about that in the book that's a position you are coming from to critique. so you start the book with several stories but one that caught my attention because you mention it as a window into how you feel of the evangelicals with donald trump during the primaries and the general election as well. so tell the story of 1984 when you are in dallas with your parents. you know where i'm going. tell that story it is a great story and how that comes back with the election. >> yes. my father sometime before i was born began reading apologetics and decided he wanted to spend his life pursuing the ability to teach apologetics and hebrew and other languages of the bible. and then we would go for youth opportunities where he was a youth pastor and then the local seminary. and then right around 1984 jerry falwell senior. now the more famous one was leading

. >> of course there were baptist in the north and baptists in the south and until they came to the eve of the civil war, they were baptists but then they broke. the episcopal church, of course, was the conservative. as far as i know, a minor church in the north in terms of numbers in the south. but the religions broke. there was no religion that was combined as far as i know to the south and to the north. there were activists -- baptists . southern and northern. but that comes late. it is the 1840s and 50s they begin to break apart. oh, the puritans? that's a little misleading because the puritan work ethic is often associated with capitalism. the puritans certainly did emphasize that because they did not celebrate europe as a source of productivity but more as a way of keeping is he so they don't get into trouble. it would be an interesting question, what is the celebration of work come from? it is the united states, if it celebrates work in the antebellum period an experience not duplicated elsewhere in the world, one of the things that when he comes here in the 1830s is the extent t

posley, senior pastor from the antioch baptist church in indianapolis, at the annual black history luncheon n washington, d.c. >> you wrote a book about the hidden protest narrative in the black american athlete. tell me where you feel it begins. >> i believe that the protest narrative actually began the moment that africans were brought to american soil. we are celebrating the dubious 400-year anniversary of that arrival here, and immediately upon the arrival of blacks on the american shores, slave owners began to be enamored with the black male physique, so much so it caused them to engage these black men, warriors, several types of warriors and chiefs, into various types of sport, head butting, cock fighting, and what is familiar to many as warrior fights. many of our black males did not to want engage in this, so their first opportunity to show disdain or revolt or rebellion against treatment was through a mechanism that was thrust upon them, which was sports. that started the evolution of black males in sports as a means to set forth political voids, and created an expression of their

i'm joined now by the president of baptist medical center in nassau county, florida.is morning. tell us how the evacuation is going. how many of the patients have been evacuated so far and do you have any more that you still have to get to safety? >> sure, thank you, jim and good morning. yes, we did have to evacuate due to the proximity of our hospital, you know, being on the island and close to the ocean and intercoastal waterways. so working closely with our planning and local officials and nassau county emergency management team. we monitor the storm and decided with the mandatory evacuation at 8:00 a.m. on monday that we would begin transferring patients on sunday night. and so approximately 24 patients through the duration of transport occurred. i couldn't be more proud of our team, the coordination of care patients. they were escorted by rns with our ambulance partners to our sister baptist health jax facility which received those patients. >> the risks, i know, are real after hurricane irma in 2017, a number of nursing home residents unfortunately lost their l

ofsncc didn't work just out tabernacle baptist. they moved over to first baptist church, the black selma,aptist church in down the street from where we are now. it served as headquarters for many mass meetings, including right before freedom day in october 1963 where dorothy height is the main attraction and the speaker that evening and gave a lot of encouragement to who would go out the next morning. selma was a logical place for the voting rights movement to have its push, because there were so many factors that made it a hotbed for this issue. you had a population that was mostly african-american, there were only 240 register black voters throughout the county, and there was also agitation that would be needed to make the movement successful. so you had a sheriff here that was belligerent toward african-american protesters, toward those who weren't his cup of tea at that moment. his name was sheriff jim clark, and he provided a type of resistance that groups like sclc needed in order to make selma the place for voting rights. it

we went to southern baptist churches in dallas texas and virginia. >> so you certainly had a pedigree. you have the conservative background and did you make no bones about that, that is the position you are coming from when you are here to critique donald trump. you start with several stories that one caught my chin because i think you mentioned it as a kind of window into how you felt about the way that evangelicals were flocking both in terms of the primaries but in terms of the election as well. tell me the story for those that are watching tony the story about 1984 you are in dallas at a protest with your parents. deciding to spend his life pursuing the ability to critique and eventually hebrew and other languages from the bible. in around 1984, jerry falwell there were some that were protesting that. i already knew that jerry falwell junior endorsed donald trump and i was seeing the move in the polls but it was in june when there was a christian summit of leaders that trump spoke to and falwell put out a himself with playboy magazine with trump on it and i say this in the book an

career here in the senate came in 2017 when a gunman opened fire on a sunday service at a little baptist church right outside of sutherland springs, texas. 26 lives were lost that day. 20 people were injured. and the entire community, that small, little community outside of san antonio, was shaken to their core by this hateful act. well, it didn't take us too long to learn about the shooter, a man with a record of domestic violence, animal cruelty and mental illness. he had been court-martialed by the air force and convicted of a serious domestic abuse, which is a felony. by law, the shooter should have been prevented from purchasing or even possessing a firearm, but he wasn't because the critically important information about his criminal background had not been uploaded into the relevant background check databases maintained by the f.b.i. even though a federal statute clearly states that all federal agencies are required to do so. as a result, the gunman was able to unlawfully purchase four firearms, three of which he used to carry out this despicable act. in the wake of any tragedy li
