christianity today, and even billy graham this came out a lot during billy graham's off heads and things that were written. some i think were unfair to his legacy and others fared pretty good. but there's a famous pictures of him with martin luther king that gets purveyed out there. he desegregated his revival meetings and so forth, but he was never a strong advocate. he was kind of natural and of course racism is bad, but he never did anything in a positive way to combat racism so this is a big hurdle that they have to get over. it's one of the most important that they will have to deal with. >> being jewish i don't carry an evangelical card. [laughter] a couple things. it seems to me reading the testament teaches us about helping the poor and caring about the community and nonmaterial harder for a rich man to get into heaven and for the life of me, maybe nobody understands this, by the 81% of evangelicals seems so harsh towards programs for the poor. they are consumed with the morality that surprises me about trump because he's a poster child for having no immorality. also how would yo

for the late reverend billy graham this year. scenes from that on the screen.e's not attending any memorial events, it took 48 hours after the senators passing frtd president to send out an official white house statement and agree to keep flags lowered until the funeral. in the interview he insisted he properly honored the late senator and didn't miss the opportunity to unite the country. saying i don't think i did at all. i have done everything they requested and i don't think i have at all. ruth, it's interesting. i have had conversations with folks who say they are bothered by the idea a president of the united states isn't going to be playing the role that traditionally expected in this occasion. also given the history the trump and john mccain. given the comments he made as john mccain was figing brain cancer in the last year. maybe it's better he take a backseat. >> the president didn't really have a choice about whether to take a backseat. in terms of the funeral. because it was made clear by senator mccain and his family that the president was -- but to
