moment, ben franklin took the floor. calling for unity, he asked delegates to open sessions with prayer. as they were groping in the dark to find a little truth, how has it happened that we have not once thought of humbly applying to the father of light to .lluminate our understandings if they ignore god, he said, our projects would be confounded and we will become a reproach down to future ages. this man who called himself a deist insisted that delegates should ask god for wisdom. this was strange because classic deists did not believe god book intervened in human -- god intervened in human affairs. delegates of the few at thought opening with prayer was a good idea. his motion was tabled. was this of deist elderly man calling on america's greatest political minds to humble themselves before god? his work at the constitutional convention was the culmination of his spectacular career. , whod george washington was 26 years his junior, or not the architects of the constitution. that role fell to james madison and alexander

. >> i have never seen elvis and ben shapiro in the same room. of the is the core issue. college campuses have become places where they want people to look different but think the same. their idea of diversity is skin color and ethnic diversity which is fine. but that is easy. it is the intellectual, ideological diversity that maturity happens. when you have an education system that is so dominated ipo smarter to us and neo-marxists, you have a whole education system that is spitting out leftist automatons. without a capacity to think. the left has feelings. we have history, logic, perspective and an understanding of where our ideals come from. >> philosophically, when you tried to get your message across , which you have to thousands of students at your conferences. how do you explain from aphis -- from a philosophical level how the constitution is so important to young people? >> a great question. socialism is the worst idea of the 20th century and we must defeat it at every turn. it is a danger to humanity. never back down from our vehement, antisocialist as. it comes

john layfield and ben stein. john, what do you think? >> i think it shouldn't have an effect. historically political scandals had little long-term effect on the market. when the volatility happened two weeks ago and set off so much program training and people are looking at inflation numbers and retail sales number and putting i think too much gravitas on them. neil: ben, you know, there's the thought if it looks like even the administration acknowledged that the russians were trying to screw around the election, but american operatives did not, is that the end of it as far as a concern, let's just say just for the markets? >> i think it's got to be the end of it. i don't think there's going to be russia-trump collusion found or found as a result of the election and i think the market is just going to stay at a fairly high level and if we can keep inflation under control, i don't see any limit to the market going up. the economic conditions worldwide are as good as they've been. i hate to say this, since the late 20's, but we don't want to have any crashes like we had in the v

our first session is the enigma of ben franklin's faith with thomas kidd. benjamin franklin tells us that he became a deist as a young man. yet at the constitutional convention in 1787, franklin proposed that delegates open sessions with prayer. in this session, thomas kidd will explore the enigma of franklin's faith and the tension between franklin's well-known skepticism and the enduring influence of his puritan upbringing on his familiarity are the bible. thomas kidd is a distinguished professor of history at baylor university and associate director of baylor's institute for studies of religion. he is the author of "benjamin franklin: the religious life of a founding father." please join me in welcoming dr. kidd.

ben, thanks for being here. >> an honor to be here. david: there is not a deal yet, the house may, some conservative republicans who are not so happy about spending all this money, a spending cap that is now, i don't know how you can call it a cap because it is $1.1 trillion they will be allowed to spend according to the senate. there seems to be zero concern about any economic effect of spending to your heart's content by these politicians. do you have zero concern? >> i don't have zero concern but i think this is one of the best deals i've seen come out of congress in my entire lifetime. that is a long lifetime so far. i love the idea they're busting sequester caps on military spending. we need more military spending, even it takes raising national debt, eventually raising tax, even if it takes raising domestic spending, even if it takes raising entitlement spending we need adequate defense. that is more important than anything else. adam smith, father of economics said, defense is greater than on pew lens and defense is the ultimate
