warren christian: yes.ell, this -- like jack said, this is something that we've felt for a long time. i think it's very clear, if you look at the context in which the monuments were put up, they weren't -- they y weren't celebrating kind of benign war heroes. they were very clearly meant to be things that would intimidate black people and further white supremacy in the u.s. where i work, at unc, there's a prominent confederate memorial, monument, statue right in the heart of campus. and since i've been at the university of north carolina, i have wanted for that statue to be removed, and felt like speaking out about it, and now, finally, kind of got the courage to do so. i think jack and i, and along with our parents, it's kind of some mixed feelings, mixed emotions, about being direct descendants of stonewall jackson. it's not something that i, you know, widely share, outside of a very close group of friends. so this is really kind of a coming out, in a sort. and also, the -- i think the amy goodman: this i

christian picciolini? christian picciolini: let me just say. take the statues down, however we need to take them down. let's put them in confederate cemeteries, so people who do genuinely believe in the heritage, even though i disagree with that, can still pay homage to their idols and to their family members who lost their lives in the civil war. however, i think we need to replace those statues with civil rights heroes, true americans, who did give their lives to fight for justice and the american dream. and especially the robert e. lee statue that is in charlottesville, i would propose that a statue goes up in its place to honor the three people who died that day, you know, because those are true americans. these are people that we need to look up to. these are the values that we hold dear as americans -- not politicians or military generals who promote war, who promote slavery, who owned slaves. that's not what america is about anymore. we're moving forward, and we need to move forward with the values that we hold dear and that we want our

this is judeo-christian god. i'm sure there's a buddhist community in alabama they went up a statue in the rotunda of the state building. if the buddhist was a chief justice if there was a chief justice and the desire to put the monument there. nothing in the lot would stop it. because he has not established religion. you're saying what i support. it shows whether or not your consistent and i think it gets to the fallacy in your argument which is you say you're not favoring one got over another impact you are. there's only one god. there is one got on which this nation was founded. it was not the muslim god. it was a god of the holy scriptures. i can take you back to history and i can show you that. everybody believes that. there is a young hindu man. and he was there to talk about this issue which was recently before the supreme court. he said when he walked in and saw that monument he was offended because that bible and that ten commandments now and his faith at all. it means nothing to him at all. he sees a th

christiane: no.tionally much more a society that likes -- even if you look at the newspapers, you won't find op-eds as you u would in the u.s., as hard, as tough. to be friendly to each other is something that people like. the social democrats have tried to fight merkel for years. they are a party that like disputes. you could argue they do the infighting and the discussion to find better solutions for the country, but they don't earn any points by doing this. christiane: pretty hard to do when you are in the grand coalition and part of a government. peter: germany is governed by a grand -- what is so grand about the grand coalition? christiane: the numbers. it is almost 80%. the opposition is really small and they have a very good contract in the beginning. they had deals on what they can do. it was hard for the social democrats. they came through with a lot of stuff. even though they had less voters. well, everything that ran is attributed to merkel. merkel hasway that worked with her coalition par

the son, christian, now 25. clifford, the prosecutors theorized, killed lynne to stop her from taking the boy out of state to nashville where she was to remarry. for the last 20 years, christian had always been in that place, right behind his father, never questioning his innocence. in court, it showed the jury his continuing support of his father even as he was about to hear until now untold family stories. >> the truth, the whole truth -- >> reporter: among the first witnesses was ed o'dell, lynne's one-time fiance. o'dell described his last call with lynne. her call waiting beeped, and she put him on hold. she said it was her ex-husband, clifford, on the other line asking her to come to his house and pick up some money he owed. >> when you hung up with her, that was the last time you ever spoke to her? >> that is correct. >> what did you do when you didn't hear from her? >> i tried to call her and did not get through. and -- >> did you call her -- >> excuse me a minute. >> mr. o'dell, would you like to take a

i have been concerned about this, and being a christian myself, i am concerned about christians and where they're going in this country these days. en who said heste would wait until the government told him to open his doors, and i got the point was for christians to help us in as they could. i assume you are the moral voice of your church, and donald trump should be a moral secular voice for the american people. let me ask you, do you think from his private atrocious -- braggadocious? guest: i think we have a president who speaks in hyperbole and incredibly self-confident. that is my answer. caller: he talks about his wealth, he has been married whitesimes, he values and christians over others, so what to evangelicals want to do? question isnk this reflective -- a lack of understanding when it comes to the role and the concerns of the evangelical community related to this white house. when it comes to the president and has personal decisions, just like there are other people who have a closer relationship with the president than i do, just like they would not talk about their opinion of

those christians, are they actually christians in the serious christians tend to be willing to speake that my life is a gift from god and i need to use my life in such way to glorify him to speak out for the poor to speak out for those who are suffering to do the best i can. people who just want to sit on their hands and say it's notmy problem, have a good life, that grieves the heart of god and so for somebody to say, i'm a born-again christian or i had an experience with jesus or whatever, you have to lift out. if you're not living it out, think it's right to say, whou cares what you claim to believe? it's not obvious in your life. you're not doing anything. not willing even to risk your life as though your life is your own. bonhoeffer said most famous quote of all, she said when christ calls a man, he bids him come and die. that is a huge statement.nd radical muslims understand that it's life or death. christians ought to understand that if we're called by god, he calls to us die to self to put myself second to put others first. said that about america, that the only thing that ma

if you are only culturally a christian you are not a christian.onhoeffer said if you are really a christian you are responsible to stand up sometimes with your life. you will have to represent the truth. people have died for their faith. there were very few germans willing to do that. bonhoeffer was one who was willing to do it. but i would say the same thing to the church right now. what is the controversy? issues of sexuality. in america we say we are supposed to love everybody and care about people wlho disagree but the church has to say we stand by what we believed in for 2000 years. sex is only between a man and his wife. not even between a couple that is not married but is heterosexual. many in the church are saying maybe that is too harsh and throwing everybody who holds to a traditional view of sexuality under the bus and say things have changed. there are people today who say if you don't tow the line of the new view of sexuality you are a bigot and will lose your job and credibility in the community. that is bad. it is up to the church t

wasn't christian. it was white. and now a whole new generation saying, in seattle, 1,000 people two nights ago, it was predominantly a white city, but again, they want to change their sense of what two things that are safe right now. the soul of the nation. >> and the integrity. >> those two things are at stake. the sole of the nation and the integrity of faith. so the soul and not just be -- we don't want to be the religious left, the auxiliary for the democratic party. if i said we might be able to save the sole of the nation, but the integrity of faith is lost. push back on that. >> first of all, i would say no it's not. thousands and thousands of other people. when we started in north carolina, people said it's not going to work, people can't come together, only 17 of us got arrested by the end of the summer, up 900 people over 1,000, and we won. over four years. we won in terms of changing that, we want to get voter suppression. so it is possible there's a group of a whole lot -- i tell people i a

they have perceived christian values... i value christian values, but tell me where it says, the boy may not wear a dress? we are going to pick this up at 11:30pm because i think it is fascinating. that's turned back to the telegraph and north korea. uk fears iran's hand in north korea. uk fears iran's hand in north korea's form, this isn't news, is it? there is a lot of question about how they get all the makings of them won. irony don't know what

as one consider presently see there's quite a difference between the two parties because if the christian democrats of chancellor merkel are leading by about thirty six point five percent where as the source for democrats of mr schultz trailing with about twenty two percent in opinion polls presently. so martin shilts wants to attack america's record on policy choices but since they're actually close on policy why would the people choose him over her well they obviously are not going to do it because i mean as i said in the opinion polls the social democrats trailing and the efforts of mr schultz to catch up with the christian democrats which at the beginning of the year seem to be a promise and promising have failed and i think they have failed because of. well a mistake mr schultz made at the very beginning when there were. state elections in the small state of the saarland next to the french border in the west where he was venturing the idea of having a coalition it was the leftist party and the greens and the people were simply not ready for such a queer lucian and he lost much more t

christian democratic christian social i mean it's also the. how different ideas than the christian democrats and the greens and the liberals i mean we will have that kind of correlation because the social democrats. this all time low in public support. they would be dead if they would enter another coalition so that's out of the question and that leaves us with this only one option if as i've said before if. they are not contemplating a minority government which of course would be a possibility. the most likely scenario now would be a jamaica i think you make a coalition the black to get the green as the state is you have to be in greens but poll said only twenty three percent spring support of such a coalition so what kind of aftermath for people will be looking at what's the option i mean the voter has spoken and you have that kind of parliament with six or if you can't see is seven parties and you have one of the bigger players who could enter a coalition and then make the government the social democrats who have explicitly said they don't

good evening i'm the christian democrat candidate. for your head home i'd like to introduce myself so you'll remember me on election day. i'm no good here past these around have a nice evening. seen me that. it's like jumping off a ten meter diving board. i took an unconventional approach to get on to the street and hand out my campaign material on. the driver told me to get off but i refused so he just stopped right there in the middle of the street. it was a pretty casual kind. you know so we're voting for brunch so you can. and i should have done in previous elections the s.p.d. lined up support among intellectuals like going to cause. the christian democrats put their money on crowd pleasers to win over a young voters. but the social democrats won the election with their best result ever the campaign managers had fulfilled their brief in lending candidates a particular profile. and comfort was in my successful campaign will accurately assess the country's mood and what the voters expect from the politicians. election campaigns are

if you are only culturally a christian, you are not a christian. you have to make a decision do i really need the leave, you don't have to, but be honest there were many that's because i was born in germany, and the lutherans therefore i am a christian.ri he said no, you can't have it both ways. up you are going to have to represent the truth. there were very few germans willing to do that. this day and age i would say the same thing to the church today. what is the controversy? it is with issues of sexuality. we are supposed to love everybody and care about peoples who disagree with us but they still say we stand by what youch believe in for 2,000 years we believe in the biblical view that it's only between a man and a life. not even between a heterosexual couple that's not married. we have a very narrow view. there are many people in the church today that are saying maybe that is too harsh. maybe we need to evolve on this kind of thing and they are throwing everybody that holds the traditional view under the bus and saying things have changed. an

in and what about iraqi christians what about christians from other countries that he was accused of favoring christians so he can't win on that note so i think i think this is a permanent ban it's not temporary it's been done with great thought and care and study and vetting of each country there's an explanation for each one i think the courts are going to have a tough time acquiescing to the radical left in this country who is going to want to see it overturned immediately and steve you know you alluded to this that many have called the president's travel ban a muslim ban but i mean now he traveled throughout the middle east very early on in his presidency to show that he supports allies whether they're muslim or not do you think people still see this as a so-called muslim banner oh yeah the a.c.l.u. and other groups and i don't i don't know it was the a.c.l.u. press release i read but they're saying this is still a muslim band it's just the skies by throwing north korea in venezuela it's to muddy the waters which is absolutely ridiculous now of course the courts we have many stat

we are not christians just on sunday. we are christians seven days a week, and we serve. , we havenews today issues in our district of people not being able to apply for fema assistance. we have folks with their laptops , the toll-free number is hard to get through. they don't use laptops. we can get them a number and follow it up. i said the other day, your grandchildren will be able to follow your account. some of us don't use laptops. i can't sayk -- thank you to the church enough. folks wereroup of been sending truckloads of commodities into texas, and we will make sure we get them here. this was started by our senior pastor. the interesting thing is all of this, most of these tables will be depleted in a few hours. the need is great. we need more supplies. rep. al green: -- rep. gene green: the teamsters union partnered with the warehouse. truckloads ofing food and commodities and everything else. we will make sure they bring that over. [applause] rep. gene green: good morning. i'm a member of congress, my name is ge

around ninety four percent of ballots that means leading the way as expected is angela merkel's christian democratic union with thirty three percent martin schultz and his social democratic party are in second place with almost twenty one percent for the main two parties the results look to be their worst in post war history but a strong showing for the alternative for germany party bears that to enter parliament for the very first time with thirteen percent of vote and in one state saxony there are now the largest party so let's go into more detail about the main winner of the day the anti immigration euro skeptic alternative for germany party they will be getting ninety four think that's almost one stick of the total in this building here the bundestag and one of the party's leaders alice riedel had this to say. the very first thing we are going to do is deliver on our promise we're going to establish something and. it's going to look there was that into what this lady has done to contribute to the many voters especially the young are concerned over the party's radical agenda people hav

raised as a christian under a communist regime. by the 1980's uncle americal had a doctorate in physics was working at the academy of sciences in east berlin her first marriage ended in divorce but she kept up for my husband's last name. what was looking like a quiet life as a research scientist was interrupted on november the ninth one thousand nine hundred ninety she had just emerged from her weekly soma visit when she was swept up in the crowds pouring across the ward and into west berlin. she said to me mother i've never been much of a civic activist so joining an activist movement isn't my thing. she said she'd also consider the social democrats. in january one nine hundred ninety they still looked like they might do really well here. but then she thought they'll make it on their own we need something new. that was her pragmatic mind speaking. and then came the east german democratic movement the democratic awakening which included past surrender and she said it's chaos there they need me. soon thereafter in spring one thousan

that was the turning point she joined the christian democrats the c.d.u. and began a rapid and grueling rise up the political ladder. americal seemed made to order for then chancellor helmut kohl she was just what he wanted for his west and male dominated christian democrats young a woman and from the east as coles protege was appointed minister for women and youth the first cabinet of the really unified germany. in november one thousand nine hundred ninety year after losing the chancellorship cole was still the honorary chair and running patriarch of the christian democrats but then came a scandal kohls party the c.d.u. had run an illicit slush fund involving donor contributions ugly american broke ranks and made a move that would rob the already shaken old guard of the party in a prominent daily she wrote an article proclaiming the end of the cold era a few months later america was party chairman this was the moment she would later revealed when she first believed she could become chancellor. she was neither a man nor a catholic nor from west germany. so

constituencies so roughly eighty percent of all ballots leading the way as expected angle in merkel's christian democratic union with thirty four percent martin schultz and his social democratic party are in second place with twenty one percent and the main two parties at their results look to be the worst in post war history but a strong showing for the alternative for germany party they're set to enter parliament for the first time with twelve percent. so let's go into more detail about arguably the main winner of the day the anti immigration euro skeptic alternative for germany party there on course to win ninety seat almost one sixth of the total in the bundestag however many voters especially a lot of young people are concerned over the party's got equal and gender people have turned out to protest in cities all across germany of course here in the capital but also in hamburg cologne and frankfurt because they have the supporters celebrated their results inside their headquarters protesters gathered outside. no oh oh. well that's. about. all. i. see that's just going to send a signal with

the lowest prices. >> tucker: can you be a serious christian and >> tucker: can you be a serious christianll serve in the federal government? that's a question democrats were asking last week, or appeared to be, when senators dianne feinstein of california and dick durbin of illinois grilled trump judicial nominee amy cohen barrett to her stated adherence to catholicism. >> you refer to orthodox catholic. what's orthodox catholic? do you consider yourself an orthodox catholic? >> dogma and law are two different things. when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. and that's of concern. >> tucker: who are these people? senator mike lee of utah serves in the judiciary committee and he joins us tonight. senator, that looked pretty close to a religious test to me. >> it certainly felt that way to me, tucker. and as a religious minority myself, i am someone whose ears perk up very quickly when i start hearing questions into someone's religious belief and saying that they are of a concern to my colleagues.eo look, this was settled in 1787.o thi

that was the turning point she joined the christian democrats the c.d.u. and began a rapid and grueling rise up the political ladder. americal seemed made to order for then chancellor helmut kohl she was just what he wanted for his west and male dominated christian democrats young a woman and from the east. coast protege who was appointed minister for women and youth in the first cabinet of the reunify germany. in november one thousand nine hundred nine a year after losing the chance to ship cole was still the honorary chair and ruling patriarch of the christian democrats but then came a scandal. the c.d.u. had run in a listen slush fund involving donor contributions. and broke ranks and made a move that would rock the already shaken old guard of the party in a prominent daily paper she wrote an article proclaiming the end of the coal era thank you months later it was party chairwoman that was the moment she would later reveal when she first believed she could become chancellor thankful. she was neither a man nor a catholic nor from west germany and so she

popularity in recent years if young leader christian has been credited with this dramatic revival. has been back our. christian linda has spoken he received a raucous reception from what is continuing now is fairly subdued celebration here at the free democrats headquarters here in central berlin a lot of thought going into what colmes next now what goes on in those tough negotiations very tough negotiations that are starting almost immediately as to who joins the coalition or how that coalition will be managed now christian linda when he took the stage he said look if you go to applaud every every line that i say we're going to be here all night he is very well received among the supporters of this party the thirty eight year old former dot com entrepreneur is really drag this party hope from the diabolical state it was in four years ago no it was that was after it's been four years in coalition with angela merkel they were and now you're late it at the polls in twenty thirteen they took less than five percent they were out of the bundestag in the wilderness for the last four year

if you have a christiane obligation to do something, why is it christian to force other people involuntarilyy for it? >> okay. there is, like, five different questions there here. first of all, bishops don't say we have a responsibility to help immigrants come here. rather, that there is a natural right to immigrate. that's with an e to leave one's country in pursuit of a better life. but the bishop and the catholic church would say most christians would say there is a responsibility. and the pope actually talked about this on the plane. he said there is a responsibility of thee government to use prudence. he used this. nobody has reported this. to use prudence to regulate immigration according to sustainable levels. and even talked about the importance of keeping thatan level to a point that would allow integration. he went even further he said w integration means allowing them to have jobs. learning the language. why was nobody reporting on this? so, yes, there is ati natural right to emigrate. but there is also a responsibility of the government to control immigration levels to sustainabl

we are christians seven days a week and we serve. thank you. the good news today is that we've had some issues with people in our district not being able to apply for fema assistance. we have almost two did two dozen fema with laptops. the toll-free number is hard to get through and they don't use laptops. we can get a number and follow it out. i joked, you need to talk to your grandchildren to follow your account. some of us don't follow, don't use laptops. thank you. i can't say thank you to the church enough. we are going to continue, we have a lot of sources, food banks and red cross, we have a group that has been sending truckloads of commodities into texas. the interesting thing is all of this will be depleted in a few hours. we need this break and we do need more surprise >> we will start getting some over here. there is a warehouse and it was a good article about it. they are bringing truckloads of food and commodities and we will make sure they bring that over.

that's not allowed in india and isn't exactly christian either but never mind. india india is the country we belong to we have a different identity. we feel like. we speak our own language. we have our own customs our own history and we have no grounds to be ashamed of that. and then the chief leads us to the edge of the village to show was the grisly legacy of his ancestors. below the tree tops there's a kind of mass grave it's impossible to say whether the skulls are those of enemies or their own people. chris sharon number one question. it was the custom at the time to leave the bodies out in the wild. usually below tree. we only learn to bury our dead and when we became christians. i'll tell you look. at the way it took some time until our zing in the other naga has learned to forego violence after the end of british colonial rule they fought for their own state they achieved partial independence nagaland as a federal state within india now there's peace but other parts of northeast india are anything but idyllic. money poor a neighboring state is in crisis

democrats and high ranking christian democrats these aren't any pratt's and high ranking christian democrats these aren't neo nazis this is a part of german society that's always existed but was kept under control by the christian democrats because there were many interrupt you because you're if you read from other when they go in. and two years ago you can already crying all the poets you hear now don't nobody read them and that's fine because he was important to people he believed that he was in the preview but he was basically what you know what you hear from him now it cannot be but at least he will probably like pyrite you know a lot of the. democrats already back in two thousand and two think of the preparation for the founding of the party started not only long long before euro crisis and also before the rebuke like they were waiting for the coptic thank you. to germany hold in place the population but they were there you go you just have to read what they what they wrote at that time. so chris i hear what you're saying because of course we are talking about alexander gallant who the

form of government it's going to be a long tough task ahead and a lot of focus is going to be on christian linda he was being taped prior to this election as a potential new foreign minister in the next couple of angle or merkel have a little look now with the thirty eight year old former dot com entrepreneur came from and how we made it to the stage this evening. thank. you. carville keeps in frenzy of lies from slides and then with t.v. ads and then government come up to him he would in most and i thought i was a little upset i was a prima my money. well the leader of the social democratic party martin souls was unable to hide his disappointment at the early exit polls and he spoke to his party in support of the little early let's go ahead take a look at that thank you thank . you thank you today's a difficult day for social democracy we missed out on our electoral gold after losing our central region and we lost the federal election. and so was michael's main rival and here's a quick look at what the former european parliament president is known for and then focus. make europe great aga

we only learn to bury our dead when we became christians. they look. at them and. it took some time until our zing in the other naga has learned to forego violence after the end of british colonial rule they fought for their own state they achieved partial independence nagaland as a federal state within india now there's peace but other parts of northeast india are anything but idyllic. money poor a neighboring state is in crisis it too is home to many nagas but they are in the minority here they're fighting for more rights the indian security forces are fighting back these confrontations often end with fay tallaght is. a memorial service for eight victims who were killed during demonstrations and are now honored as martyrs their coffins have been on public display for five hundred and forty nine days. so my nephew and others took to the street to protest against an unjust law. the police opened fire and shot it and here it is. the signs read stop discrimination the nodders are protesting against the law that curtails their old property rights. at least the protest

the christian democrats party flag is orange but the party's traditional color is black for the past four years the c.d.u. has governed with the red social democrats in a grand coalition. if that continues the government colors will be black and red. or perhaps a mix that matches the colors of the jamaican flag black yellow and green. that would mean a coalition of the christian democrats the free democrats and the greens there's been speculation about such a coalition sense at least two thousand five. hundred there possible option is the so-called traffic light coalition. that would bring together martin schultz and the social democrats the free democrats and the greens. chancellor merkel would be out of a job but such a coalition probably won't happen it's a colorful political contest but could all these parties work with each other. charlotte a lot of likely options several life the options. let's begin by talking about the grand coalition of the two lodge parties the one that is currently running germany's delivered germany a very buoyant economy very low level of unemployment or

so how would these two parties are going to come together with angela merkel and sister party the christian social union from bavaria and form some form of government it's going to be a long tough task ahead and a lot of focus is going to be on christian linda he was being taped prior to this election as a potential new foreign minister in the next couple of angle or merkel have a little look now with the thirty eight year old former dot com entrepreneur came from and how we made it to the stage this evening. thank.

for the first time but made a surprisingly strong showing exit polls project markel center right christian democratic union party has won just under thirty three percent of the vote that gives them two hundred and thirty eight seats their main rival and current coalition partner the center left of social democrats led by martin schultz got around twenty percent of the vote or one hundred forty eight seats but the biggest change to germany's political scene is this the far right and he is alternative for germany or d. party getting thirteen percent of the vote that translates into ninety five seats the three other main parties one between nine and ten percent of the vote but they could find themselves in power as part of a coalition the mccain reports from berlin. a moment of celebration for the christian democrats can in first place but for some it was a hollow victory they lost almost one hundred seats in this election so anger will very probably remain as chancellor this is
