versions of study bibles. >> the bible is still the number one international best-selling book so that's a perennial favorite. >> let me ask about the youth market. you must be attuned to that so are young people doing the kind of reading that you think they should be, are they having the kind of catholic education that would seem beneficial? what's the story? >> i recently read millennial's have probably read more words than any generation but their words from headlines or posts. so i think in terms of reading full books it has declined a lot since the past years. the attention span is not there. so unfortunately i think we are not reading the way we should in general as a society, not just youth. we pass on habits to the youth so we are trying to reach them. it is a challenge. they are on all sorts of media that moves quickly so to keep up with them and their different media is quite difficult. i have been into the religious education congress in los angeles. a lot of youth are there. whether they are involved are just there for education and they do stop by and they know about our boo

here before me is a bible used in the inauguration of our first president in 1789. have just taken the oath of office on the bible my mother gave me just a few days ago. a timeless admonition from the ancient profit -- prophet michael. he has shown the old man what is good and what does that require of thee, but to do justly and love, mercy, with thy god. this marks a new getting -- beginning. a new dedication within our government. and a new spirit. and proclaim that new spirit. but only if people can provide it. two centuries ago our nation's birth was a milestone. in the long quest for freedom. but the bold and brilliant dream, for the founders of this nation, still await its conservation. i have no new dreams to set forth today, but rather to urge a fresh faith in the old dreams. ours was the first society openly to define itself in terms of both spirituality and human liberty. it is that unique self the finish and which has given us an exceptional appeal but also imposes on us a special obligation to take on those moral duties which, when assumed, seem invariab

and he bible experts know where that comes from. first of all, it comes from the bible. yes. so i deuteronomy 2830. so close it's 30. it's deuteronomy 30, 30, 19. it's from what has been called moses valedictory. he does not get to go into promised land, but these are his, in effect, a sermon. a sermon to the people of israel pleading them right, calling heaven earth to record again that is heaven and earth will be a witness against you if you do not fulfill responsibility, if you do not obey the lord, your god, life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life. this is exactly the way john winthrop's model of christian charity ends. and he was calling upon puritan community to live wholly in the sight of god. so this really interests me, really interests me because it's such a nice example of the other side of civil religion, not taking the more secular earthly elements of your nation and elevating them, elevating the flag right as a symbol, honor and reverence, duty. it's actually taking the content of religious scriptures and using it for the here for the purpose

when he took the oath. >> he wouldn't have a bible there.bible right there, the ceremony was hurried it seems at 12:00, secondly donald trump doesn't touch people or things if you notice he gives a lot of fist bumps, a lot of thumbs up. david axelrod is making a big mistake suggesting donald trump doesn't believe in god's providence because he didn't put his hand on top of the bible. the bible was right there. stuart: i thought he was nitpicking and it surprised me. who knows what he's doing in politics? going the wrong way. a mistake. it was disgraceful, you are all right, thanks for joining us. trump's inauguration speech lasted 30 minutes. how does that match up against past presidents? lauren: the longest inauguration speech in modern history. reagan held the title with his 1985 speech, 2,600 words. that was also the last time the inauguration was held indoors. now trump holds the title so look at the list with 2. 9,000 words trump beats out reagan, biden and all the rest, the inauguration speech in 2017 was the shortest in modern histor

he taught the bible every sunday from world war ii untilcoid covid-19. teach on sunday. it was central to his life. every time i went to church with him, it it was packed. the lines started before sunrise, and i was always very thankful i got to walk in with my grandmother. and as soon as we sat down, sunday school would start. my grandfather would begin by asking if anyone had been in the church before. my grandmother and i raised our hands and almost no one else instead. then my grandfather polled the congregation. we would find out the church was full of people from all over the country, of all different backgrounds and beliefs. my grandfather would address the most diverse sunday school clasassembled again. before he delivered his bible lesson, my grandfather talked about his week. if he monitored an election, he would talk about it. if he stopped a conflict, he would talk about it. if he eliminated a disease, from a village or a country, he would talk about it. my brother jeremy died, he announced the news in sunday school. in fact, i remember my br

you'llember there were two bibles. e, lincoln bible. the other from his mother. hill looks at that event in yesterday's ceremony, saying president trump, when taking the most recent oath of office, did not appear to place his left hand on either of the bibles. a placement of the left hand, however, has no bearing on the legitimacy on his first day back at the job. the u.s. constitution does not stipulate that a president-to-be place his or her hand on the bible because each president who recruits the oath or affirmation is bound by the words themselves, per article six. same article also says that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the united states. article two, meanwhile, merely states the chief executive of the united states must recite the oath being able to take office. there's also no stipulation the oval office and so help me god, though it has become customary. there's more on the hill story if you want to read that in connection to yesterday. connecticut is next, republican line. carol joins us

some i'm not sure whether anyone is with the bible is it was in the white house and it goes to india has a huge and international know it's a transport car, your operation going which iran is an important essential part to the united states to understand what's happening in the brakes and what will be discussed in cars on the tool or that just signaling look a all american interests in the region should activate against the threats of a run just when india is doing a massive deal with a ron, as is russia, and as is china, i, i don't think that the moment there is much understanding of the middle east. i think most of the middle east textbooks that were in the state department and other places have been removed. they have been removed. and we have a being run essentially by people who do not have much expertise in it. or if they have the expertise like pay most cost time, it is really from the is really perspective process from, from the united states perspective. that's the us ongoing. it was an idea for us us as basically as rails man in the abiding cabinet. yes, he has her, he has

he kissed the bible. it was expected that the newly inaugurated vice president would finish out the day by swearing in all the new u.s. senators. but andrew johnson was so hammered he couldn't do it. so he bailed in the middle of the inauguration, and somebody else had to take over and swear in all the senators for him. but i got to tell you, that wasn't even his worst inauguration. he had two and that one where he was too drunk to stand up and kissed the bible and had to bumble off before his job was done. that was actually the better of his two inaugurations, because after that totally drunken debacle, andrew johnson, the new vice president, he basically fled the capital. he was so embarrassed. he was so humiliated by having been so drunk at the event. it was like the talk of the town. it was in every newspaper in the country. it was this huge humiliation. there were calls for him to resign. there were calls for lincoln to fire him. somehow, johnson just slunk away from the capitol. immediately followin

speaking of the bible, by the way, his new bible, our new bible, god bless the usa bible, just came outess the usa bible.com, lee greenwood.com. get one of these, there's only 5,000 of them. mike: your iconic song is from the reagan administration era. what does it mean that it's become an anthem for the 45th and soon to be the 47th president of the united states? >> i just can't wait. i've introduced donald trump several times before, and now once again as president there's a line in my song that a says i would gladly stand up next to you. i had no idea when i wrote that song i'd actually be standing up next to the president of the united states and singing for him. it's a great honor and a privilege. mike: so carrie underwood is one of the other big artists who's performing over the inauguration events. considering the political climate these days, should singers like carrie underwood and others be concerned about backlash when you consider the entertainment industry? >> you know, i haven't heard any backlash unlike 2016. this is a totally different environment with the president winn

it was width bible some. i mean, i'm not sure whether anyone is with the bible, is it was in the white house and it goes to india. has a huge and international, lots of transport, cory door operation going, which iran is an important, essential part to the united states to understand what's happening in the brakes. and what will be discussed in cars on the tool or that just signaling. look at all american interests in the region should activate against the threats of a run just when india is doing a massive deal with a run, as is russia. and as is china i, i don't think that at the moment there is much understanding of the middle east, but i think most of them at least experts that were in state department and other places have been removed. they have been removed and we have a being run essentially by people. i do not have much expertise in the board as they have expertise like pay most cost time. it is rarely from the is really perspective problem from a united states perspective. that's the us on boy. it w

he returned to this theme to the bible, story from the bible and stories from today.d homes. he limited diseases in forgotten places -- he limited -- he waged peace anywhere in the world. where he saw a chance, he loved people. whenever he told the stories in sunday school, they always said he did it for one simple reason. he worships the prince of peace, and he commanded it. apostle paul letter to the roman, chapter eight, one through 18, 38, 39. therefore there is not condemnation for those who are in christ jesus. because christ jesus, because through christ jesus the law of the spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. for what the law was posed o and it was weakened by the simple nature, god did by sitting his own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. and so he condemned sin and sinful man in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us we cannot live according to sinful nature but according to the spirit. those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that desires. but tho

i would read a few verses from the bible, in spanish using a , different vocabulary than the one i had used in the navy, i might say. and he would give the final salvation to perspective followers of christ. he was more than successful in winning those souls to be christians. when we got through with our assignment in massachusetts and begin to leave to go back home, i asked him, what is the secret to your success? he was a little embarrassed about my question but he finally said, "i tried to have two loves in my heart. one is for god and the other love that i try to have in my heart is for the person who happens to be in front of me at any particular time." that is a very profound statement and one i remembered ever since that time. since leaving the white house, i've been a professor at emory university, finished my 36th year as a professor. claims is still a town of 1700 people. it has grown a lot since i was a child. we have a -- we have 11 churches in time. my church only had 25 regular members, but when i taught the bible classes every sunday, we have several hundred visitors. la
