they are working wish -- with bishop roy campbell as a moderator, although i suspect bishop campbell is laying it off a lot, because when you listen to young people, you learn an awful lot. they are energized, and i want to encourage them to continue that dialogue, and how they can pastor more effectively the people that they have been sent to serve. john: thank you. i have listened and learned a lot. one sign of hope for me is the leaders on this call. bishop, thet -- president of the university, but especially the lay leaders, marcia, floria, and ralph who and shown us -- gloria, ralph. they have sown that shown us wisdom. for me the exact -- the action is an examination of conscience. i do not look out my hometown the same way i used to. i worked for the archdiocese of washington, which has a great heritage, but we had segregated schools and segregated parishes and that legacy continues. i worked for the bishop's conference and there are not enough african-american and latino bishops, and i am proud to be a part of georgetown, and yet i know that georgetown's very existence depend

catholic arthur bishop of washington, d.c. shared his thoughts on the protest across the nation in response to the death of george floyd. he also spoke about why he publicly criticized the president's visit to st. john's episcopal church and the national shrine. >> let us pray. communities of color and those on the margin, we are tired, tired of the racism in our streets and structures, an open against you, taking the lives and denying the dignity of your children. we are called to mourn, to , and made the dead rest. may our acts of solidarity and justice with the living be a died.al to those who have lord, bless our hurting nation. bless and give peace to the families of george floyd and lost a son, ae daughter, father, mother, sister, brother, friend. those who take to our streets to protest injustice. give him encourage, wisdom, and respect for others. bless all those who seek justice and peace when we have too little of both. bless those called upon to protest. give those in law enforcement eight commitment to equal justic

back with me for some final thoughts, bishop william barber, reverend dr. theoharis, co-chair of the poor people's campaign. and reverend dr. frederick haynes at the friendship west baptist church. for all of you, i want to read three headlines. 40% of low-income americans lost their jobs due to the pandemic. one-fifth of americans fear they can't pay their june rent or mortgage. according to a federal survey. and a study projects homelessness will rise 45% in just one year due to coronavirus unemployment. reverend theoharis, what do we do about that? it's hard to have faith when it feels like everything in this society is failing you. >> i think, indeed, our institutions of our society are failing us. we have the resources to have universal health care, to raise wages, to put more money into education. we have the resources to ensure that everyone has paid sick leave and has the wherewithal to be able to not just barely survive but to thrive. and so what we need is a movement. and that's what the poor people's campaign is building. the power of poor people

bishops for the conference, and there are not enough african-american and latino bishops. and i am proud to be a part of georgetown, yet i know that georgetown's very existence --ended in part of the on the sale of 272 men, women, and children. we all have to look at our own behaviors. we have to change ourselves. we have to change our communities. we have to change our country, and we have to change our church. i want to thank everybody who has made this possible. i want to thank our partners at the berkeley center, optima ai media kim daniels, , there are three of us, and they have just done extraordinary work in our time, but especially on this. the panel, i have already mentioned. one thing i want to say, especially for those on the line, we have an upcoming latino leaders gathering. this is something we do. we gather young leaders from washington and especially gather latino leaders, and it is on june 11. it is obviously a virtual meeting at 7:00, on justice and faith, family and community, and latino leadership in a time of crisis. bishop segura, who has written a re

joining us now i'm honored to say is bishop michael curry who was the presiding bishop of the episcopal church. it is an honor to have this time with you. thanks for making time, sir. >> thank you, rachel, thank you. >> let me just ask you to give us your own understanding of what happened yesterday with st. john's and why you were moved to put out this sharply worded statement. >> well, you know, the president went over to st. john's church and took that picture holding a copy of the bible and did so without the courtesy of even letting her know and the director or pastor of the church. but even more important than that, he did that and took a picture. he didn't say a prayer. he didn't ask for god to bless and help the nation. he could have turned around, addressed the nation, and said you may agree or disagree with me, but tonight i want to ask all americans in your own way by your own fate to pray for the healing of our nation, pray that we may find solutions to our problems, pray that we may find a way to love each other. the president could have used that in a positive, spiritual a

so he clearly thought of it in the same way that the bishop, episcopal bishop, objected to the use ofer church or the dioceses' church, as a photo-op. i wonder sometimes does he know what john paul stood for? he worked with protesters when the solidarity opened in poland, does i know jesus talks about blessed are the peacemakers? these are apparently just photo-ops where he's using religion and religious imagery to bolster his political situation. >> father, i apologize because i assumed since it was on his schedule, unlike what he did last night, that this had been worked out with the archdiocese. i have to confess to being shocked by that. i should have known. that is my error. to bishop budde, i listened to you last night when you first expressed your outrage. let's talk about what happened at st. john's, which took all of us and certainly a lot of the peaceful protesters cleared from lafayette square, with no notice before the cure few had taken place, which mayor bowser had objected to as well. >> it's the entire scenario, starting from his very worrisome militaristic remarks at

bishop for his opening statement. mr. bishop, you're recognize. repo bishop -- bishop: >> they use to object to some of the titles we gave our hearings. you guys have learned very well from that, i appreciate that. have you come up with new titles, you need for yourselves but this one is especially inflammatory. congratulations on it. there are issues that need to be discussed. that said, we have serious issues to address in the present and we would be selling our society very short were we to ensure without ensuring that there is full truth as to what is going on that is wooded in our history. not just a myopic and biased view. that means this hearing as far as understanding the truth of what is going on and coming up with a good history is going to be invalid. the witnesses we will be hearing today are here even before any events started. that may be legal but it is highly questionable. an invitation was given to some in the park service who volunteered to come in later after the litigation. that was rejected. instead we decided to move in with

and bishop budde joins us now. thank you so much for talking with us.hy did you decide to speak out? >> it was a-- it was a confluence of events in the-- in the very short period of time when the images of the president following the-- the-- the dispersal of the crowds that you mentioned, following his-- extremely inflammatory to my ears-- remarks in the rose garden, and then-- and then bringing himself and his entourage into our sacred space, using it as a backdrop and holding the bible as if to put on the mantle of religious authority or blessing of what he had-- had just said and done. and i felt it was urgent to remove that association as quickly as possible and to state our position in faithfulness to the gospel as we understand it. >> woodruff: the white house view on this, bishop budde, has been that what happened at the church the night before, the fire being set there, was unacceptable, and the president wanted to make a statement about that. >> well, he made no statement, judy. and he didn't come to pray. he didn't come to offer his condolence

bishop, the time is yours. thank you. >> thank you, chairman grijalva, ranking member bishop and members of the committee. thank you for the opportunity to testify today. as you said my name is mariann budde tick i serve as bishop of the episcopal diocese of washington which counts among its parishes st. john's lafayette square. i appear today to express my deep concern about the events of june 1 when our government resorted to acts of violence against peaceful protesters, and prevent clergy and lay members of the church from exercising their ministry on the grounds of st. john's. we in the episcopal church believe that the issues of racial and social justice are core tenets of the christian faith. the bible teaches all human beings are created in the likeness and image of god. as children of god, all are to be treated with equal dignity and respect. embedded in our nation's history and institutions is a shameful abuse of black americans and other persons of color justified by the sinful notion of white suprema

bishop curry, what is your message to these people? >> my message to them and indeed to our nation is we must enshrine the principle of love for each other and our neighbor that seeks the good and well-being for us all. that must guide us in all laws and policies. and the way that we relate to each other. they must stand up for love and justice and at the same time bear that way of love and compassion and goodness in themselves. we must be the change we want to see. and therefore i would encourage them, stand up for justice and righteousness, but stand up in the way of love for every man, woman and child so that the day will come when happened to our brother will never happen to anybody else again. >> these are live pictures coming in from near lafayette park. you see the huge fence built 8 feet high to block people from going into lafayette park. you can see the white house in the background. people are protesting, angry, raising their hands, very upset. huge numbers of protesters here in washington but all over the country. what is y

joining us now is the bishop of the episcopal diocese of washington, d.c., mariann edgar budde bishopfor being with us. you were not there at st. john's yesterday during this, but you watched along with the rest of us and your reaction was i can't believe what my eyes have seen. why? >> well, you set the context to illustrate the use of the symbolic power of our sacred texts and a church that is dedicated to the nonviolent teachings of jesus. the president, after insisting that he would use severe military force to quiet the agony of our nation cleared a nonviolent protesters with tear gas and riot police so that he could co-opt the symbols of our faith to undergird his message. and i felt that i needed to disassociate us from that gesture in no uncertain terms and refocus our sights on the true issues that we are grappling with as a nation right now. >> what did it feel like at that moment when he was standing before that church with the bible held high? >> well, it's a combination of feelings. let's not forget the real pain that is spread before us every second of every day in these

is the bishop justified her outrage? guest: no.resident has a responsibility and takes in oath of office with his hand on the and defend the constitution of the united states and the primary function of that office is to ensure domestic tranquility and to defend the homeland against foreign foes. if the president fails to do that, than they have failed in their primary responsibility, and i think he was -- i think it was very important for him in the call he had with the governors yesterday, in the eloquent statement he made at the rose garden in which he made it clear that he was prepared to use the u.s. military to ensure our cities are no longer burning and to ensure that law-abiding citizens are no longer beaten nearly to death and stoned by rioters and domestic terrorists. this is wrong, it is on american and i think my going to st. john's -- i think by going to st. john's and making it clear, that is the answer. the ultimate answer to what ails this country, including in the original sin of racism, his faith in god and redemp

what are you going to do for them. >> bishop barber, we've had you on before. you always go deep, but connecting all these dots and really pushing us to think about the moral center of this. i appreciate this. i appreciate you, sir. for those interested in hearing more, you can see it here june2020.org, saturday's moral march on washington, a virtual event. we've got to fit in a break. when we come back, the lawyer suing over that very trump tulsa rally we just discussed and why they're going to court, calling it a, quote, biological bomb when we come back. we've to make up. miles to the job site. the campsite. and anything else we set our sights on. miles that take us back to the places we want to go. and to the people who count on us. so, let's roll up our sleeves. because we've got miles to make up. stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and take. it. on... ...with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill... ...can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelling. and for some-rinvoq can even significantly reduce ra fatigue.

the local bishop speaking out overnight. her message to the president. >>> the search for solutions. a leading voice from the congressional black caucus joins us to discuss where america goes from here. >>> thank you for joining us on this tuesday morning. we do begin with that extraordinary threat from president trump. >> he's vowing to send u.s. troops into american cities if local officials can't control the chaos on the streets after the death of george floyd. but it's this moment that captured even more attention, the president walking to a vandalized church near the white house holding up a bible moments after peaceful protests were cleared from the street with tear gas and rubber bullets. the local bishop is now condemning the photo-op. >>> in new york city overnight despite a curfew, we saw looting in several areas of manhattan including on fifth avenue. and a disturbing scene in buffalo, new york. two police officers were hit by a vehicle when a protest turned violent. their injuries are being described as serious.

the right reverend marian budde, the episcopal bishop of washington, d.c., says she was not even given a courtesy call by the white house ahead of the president's action. in fact, the bishop was outraged by the use of physical force and tear gas in the shadow of her church to remove peaceful protesters so that the church and the bible could be used in some photo opportunity. president trump has not acknowledged the agony of our country right now, she said in an interview. everything he has done is to inflame violence. president trump's actions violate the sanctity of our first amendment freedoms, and they represent abuse of his authority. we know this president well after more than three years. as shocking as monday night's events were, they represent through and through who this president really is. it's wrong. the american people will have the last word in november. but i'm encouraged to see in my home state of illinois officials have rejected the use of military force and committed to america's right to protest. governor j.b.pritzker says the president's call to send troops to illin

thank you so much. >>> bishop t.d.mportant message business time it takes to create change. he is the senior pastor at the potters house which has more than 30,000 members. bishop jakes spoke out on friday. >> real change comes in processing, comes in time. i think we're at a turning point right now. which way that turn goes is up to you and i and what we do with it and how we respond to it. >> bishop jakes joins us only on "cbs this morning." bishop, it's always good to see you. i've heard i watershed moment. a game changer. a tipping point. we heard you say a turning point is the word you use. how do we embrace this moment and turn it into real change? >> well, first of all, i think that it is a turning point because it is -- the protesters are not all black or all white. the american community is all marching -- in fact, the global community is marching in an unprecedented way that is indicative of the fact that we have been heard and somebody gets it. but what we really must focus on is moving from protesting to po

trump: i want to thank you, bishop and pastor.e are going to be discussing pretty important things. it is all important. the timing of this is very appropriate. it was set up a long time ago. here to listen to community and faith leaders. we will be hearing from a lot of the good ones. some of the great ones, but a lot of the good ones. to present their vision of advancing the cause of justice and freedom. from day one, i have in fighting for the forgotten men and women of america. i think we have been doing a great job of it. we have been doing a lot in many other ways. it gets lost a little bit sometimes. we have done so much. and record-setting funding that's historically black colleges and universities. [applause] we created tens of thousands of jobs with opportunity zones. tim scott. we had the great senator from south carolina. he came with an idea and i thought it was a great idea. we got it done, people said it couldn't happen, nobody thought it would be successful. tens of thousands of jobs and investment in communities w

>>> the episcopal bishop of washington who oversees st. says she was outraged that the president would use st. john's as a "prop." bishop marion edgar budde joins us to discuss this story. thank you for joining us this morning. i want to start with your comments yesterday. i heard you use a word outrage, normally a very strong word to use. i'm curious about when did you first find out the president was coming? how did you find out, and what bothered you most about it? >> i had no prior warning and so i was sitting on my couch with my mother, watching the evening news, when my phone started ringing and people contacted me to let me know what was happening. what disturbed me most was the context which you're reporting described that after speaking so harshly and miliaristic overtones, we the park of peaceful protesters cleared with tear gas and officers in riot gear, to make a symbolic gesture, holding a bible, as if to spiritually condone a message and a posture that is antithetical to the teaching of jesus and everything that we as a churc

for instance, the bishop of st. john's, marrian budde. called into anderson cooper last night to express her feelings. >> the president just used a bible, the most sacred text of the judeo-christian tradition, and one of the churches of my diocese without permission. as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of jesus and everything that our churches stand for. and to do so, as you just said, he sanctioned the use of tear gas by police officers and riot gear to clear the church yard. i am outraged. >> stephen: she's right to be outraged. in fact, i'm sure the bishop would've tried to block trump but, unfortunately, she can only move diagonally. ♪ ♪ >> stephen: it's not like trump's a church regular, as the bishop told cbs' gayle king on "cbs this morning" this morning. >> does president trump go to that church, your church, on a regular basis? >> no, no. he's rarely in church, and the only time he's been to st. john's, to my knowledge, was on the morning of his inauguration. >> stephen: it was memorable, because trump descr

our nation >> a group of pastors echoing the bishop >> mr. president trump, i know you stood right here and sourcee president's decision was fuelled in part by frustration over news reports that they ushered him to a bunker and it was his idea because he wanted to look in charge joe biden offering a stark contrast to the president in philadelphia >> leadership that can recognize pain and deep grief of communities that have had a knee on their neck for a long time. >> pledging to address racial injustice. >> the moment has come for our nation to deal with the growing economic inequity to deal with our nation to deal with the denial of the promise of our nation made to so many >> and rare comment from george w. bush. he said he's anguished by george floyd's killing and saying it's critical to seeing the country's reality and improving on it. >> some people are preparing to take a stand to defend what's theirs for more we go to our reporter. >> reporter: across america, more guns are coming out as well store owners now arming themselves >> we wi

that drew the outrage of the bishop of the diocese. she called the president's message antithetical to the teachings of jesus. we'll get to that. our coverage begins with brynn gingras. what's the situation? >> reporter: yeah, alison, good morning. curfew here in new york city was 11 p.m. last night, but the violence was being reported in even before that. even before really it got dark. i want to show you video here from the bronx, an incident that happened with a police sargeant there i want to warn you. essentially at 12:45 police responding to a looting incident we're told. one of the sergeants responding was hit by a vehicle. that driver of the car got away. police have not been able to find the driver and we know that that police sargeant has head injuries. is in the hospital right now in serious condition. but stable. we know of with police. we know police was struck by a vehicle in the west village the night before. these are some of the incidents that are happening as the violence breaks out amidst these protests. you can see

bishop jakes, thank you so much for joining us.role do you want churches and other faith communities to play in the path forward? >> first of all, wolf, thank you for having me. delighted to be with you. i think churches have the obligation not to look the other way on this issue and to be a significant part of the african-american community and being involved in providing solutions and the process because we're want just looking at the deterioration of the criminal justice system which have been corroded for some time and we're looking at the deterioration of trust in the community and when you lose trust as a leader and as an official, the consequences can be absolutely devastating and they are too high for us to pay and we have to do something to restore trust. >> it's an important trust. you also pointed out that black clergy in the united states have led the fight for social justice. what would you want to see now from white faith leaders and white americans in general. >> you know, i am starting to see that. i am very encoura

i'm going to start with you bishop barber. you have done a lot of protests. you know what that looks like in the street. the fact is that donald trump is a particular kind of person. this is a threat he put up threatening protesters in advance. any protesters, looters, lowlives who are going to oklahoma, please understand you will be treated not like you have been. he didn't mention the armed militants. that worries people. he is coddling the kind of people who cal is reporting are the people showing up armed. >> well, he is, joy. he did that in charlottesville. i think we also have to look at this historically. now, a hundred years ago similar thing was happening. woodrow wilson was lying about a pandemic. a lot because he denied he was promoting racism, the birth of the nation. he was rolling back civil rights laws. so in a sense what we're seeing in trump we have seen before. my question always when he does this is what is he trying to hide? we know yesterday he fired all of the people at voice of america and took over those public radio stations and put s

that sort of other the only disease is the ministers there so their bishops thoughtful. in other world news facebook says it will goal posts from politicians that break its rules including those from president donald trump in a reversal of its practices facebook also says it will ban ads that scapegoat minorities or promote hate speech but the stop paid for profit campaign argues it's not doing enough for the 90 companies have joined a boycott of the platform coca-cola and unilever are the latest big companies to join the nearly $100.00 brands pulling their digital advertising from facebook we're going to start labeling content. that we find newsworthy that might otherwise fire our c s there's no news worthy exemption to content that incites violence or suppresses food even if a politician or government official says it if we determine the content maybe we need to violence or deprive people of their right to vote we're going to take the content out no matter who says it and i speak to david vaile about this is a cyber law expert at the university of new south wales his e

how do you help people go down that path, bishop? choose to actually live the way of love, which is not about -- not a sentence. i said for a long time the opposite of love is not hate. the opposite of love is selfishness. the way of love is the way of speaking to good, the welfare and well-being of others as well as self. in the hebrew scriptures when moses talks about love of neighbor in leviticus, it's in the context of doing what is just and kind and decent. when he talks about in luke's gospel he tells the parable of the good samaritan, somebody who helps somebody that's different than they are. it's a decision. it's a daily decision, i'm going to live an unselfish life that seeks the good of others as well as my own good. when we all do that, we win. >> so if you were talking -- i feel like the sides are so far apart. everyone is blaming each other. there's so much tension. i keep thinking how does this end. if you were going to speak to the police and protesters, what would you say to them. >> to protesters and police, every o
