the bible was not there. so unfortunately, it's often that the most impious and depraved people in history of leadership are the ones who are acclaimed as saviors of the nation, starting with mussolioni who was an atheist. he was the one who made the deal with the vatican on up to victor orpan who poses as the savior of christiandom in europe but is persecuted and closed over 300 churches because their religious heads were not aligned with his politics. what happens is certain kinds of authoritarian faith traditions do very well and make these bargains like the t evangelicals have done and orthodox jews with trump. progressive faith traditions get marginalized or persecuted. that's what history tells us. >> ruth, the website where trump is selling that bible says this is the only bible endorsed by trump. trump continues to be very popular among white evangelical christians. is this vital to his hold on power or sense of legitimacy? >> unfortunately, it is because these are corrupt people who have to surround

in connection with promoting the god bless the usa bible. this bible is the king james version and also includes our founding father documents, yes, the constitution, which i'm fighting for every single day, christians are under siege, we must protect content that's pro-god, we love god, i'm proud to endorse and encourage you to get this bible, we must make america pray again. i think you all should get a copy of god bless the usa bible now and help spread our christian values with others. >> trump's version of the good book is selling $60 following his other business ventures, trump steaks, trump water, trump university, last month he unveiled trump-branded sneakers going for $400 a pair. in december, he started selling pieces of the suit he was wearing when he got indicted last summer. the trump bible website states that none of the profits will go toward his 2024 campaign. there's no mention however about whether the money might go

but i just think the bible is something very special. >> i'm wondering what your favorite bible verses are and why. >> i don't want to get into it because when i talk about the bible it's very personal. >> it means a lot to you -- >> the bible means a lot to me but i don't want to get into specifics. >> is there a favorite bible verse or bible story that has informedha your thinking and character through life, sir? >> i thinkli pane. >> old testament guy or new testament? >> probably equal. >> you might think an aide might slip him a sheet of pattern with something like john 3:16 on it so trump could at least pretend to know something about the bible. but no. and thatbi reality is part of wt makes trump's latest grift so amazing. >> all americans need a bible in their home, and i have many. it's my, favorite book. we must protect content that is pro-god. we love god, and we have to protect anything that is pro-god. we have to bring christianity back into our lives and back into what again will be a great nation. i encourage you to get this bible. we t must make america pray aga. i thin

the bible is the divine book. then, then that the koran is one or the book of mormon, or the book of confucius or the essays of emerson. and he specifically blames bryan for the passage of what he calls a foolish, mischievous and wicked act as brazen and bold, an attempt to destroy liberty as it was ever seen in the middle ages. but the defense says our goal is not to destroy christianity, but the bible story is not scientific, incorrect, and has no place in a science classroom. now, bryan, in the prosecution of a very straightforward case, they ask the court to take notice of the creation story in the book of genesis. is the earth being created in seven days? the adam and eve story. then they introduce the tennessee act, which says it is illegal in any place taking public school funds to teach any theory that denies the story of divine creation is man is taught in the bible. so again, they're not saying you have to teach the book of genesis, just you can't teach a theory that that is in counter to the book of gen

i think the bible is very special. >> wondering what one or two of your most favorite bible verses are. >> i wouldn't want to get into it. to me, that is very personal. when i talk about the bible, it is very personal. >> you don't want to get into a verse that means a lot to you ? >> the bible means a lot to me but i don't want to get into specifics. >> is there a favorite bible verse or bible story that has informed your thinking or character through life, sir ? >> i think many. when we get into the bible, i think many, so many. >> are you an old testament guy or new testament guy ? >> probably equal. >> you may think an aide would slip in a sheet of paper with john 3:16 so trump could pretend to know something about the bible. but, no. and, that reality is part of what makes trump's latest drift so amazing. >> all americans need a bible in their home and i have many. it's my favorite book. we must protect content that is pro-god. we love god and we have to protect anything that is pro- god. we have to bring christianity back into our lives and back into what will be, again, a great
