i beli corinthians, says, if jesus did not rise from the dead, our faith is in vain, it is a lie, not true. so we need to believe that this is a historical fact that jesus did rise from the dead. what can you tell us about that? >> there are numerous angles to approach the question. one of them is the physical evidence of the passion itself to show that he did die and the resurrection. obviously for the fact that we have an empty tomb, we believe that the body was risen and made spiritual and also corporal. at the same time, on earth while we can't point to the body and sense of his bones and what remains, in a sense for catholics that is already evidence. for all the saints, we have some piece of their body. relics. so the fact that we don't have relics for jesus, that says something already. if it were all production or fantasy or invention, there would have been relics. but more seriously if we look at the shroud, for example, it has been a tense focus of study from all kinds of angles, scientific, over the last few decades. the results of that are extremely intriguing, if not conv

he has all the other things -- >> he did find two corinthians.lking along the road and called them out. >> michael. >> he remembered the two corinthians he met. >> i find this extremely offensive. i cannot imagine for you, as a person of faith, how'd deeply offensive this is. >> this is so rich. it's not even trump. is not trump. it's everybody else who buys into this and who are buying bibles that are basically used -- being used as is a form of ideology does the bible has in it the constitution, bill of rights, the pledge of allegiance. these documents are secular documents that have no place inside of this particular document which is the faith traditions of christians and jewish people represented in the old and new testament. and it is offensive beyond imagination. in fact, at one point, when the story broke, i sent out a tweet with a picture of jesus cleansing the temple. and i wanted to make the point to donald trump that joe biden would be the first one he threw out of the temple. to do this during holy week, right before easter and to ha

. >> 2 corinthians, 3:17, that's the whole ball game. >> is that your bible? >> it's a bible. >> ha, ha. i go to church about as often as trump appears to, and even i know it's second corinthians. what's even more insulting about the bible-thumping grift is he has lived his life in contradiction to his professed faith. quote, trump's biography is very nearly a compendium of the seven deadly sins. the man is a twice-impeached, four times indicted on 88 counts former president. he's been found liable for fraud and sexual abuse, and he's a thrice married accused adulter who allegedly had a daliance with a porn star. he denies any wrong doing of any kind. then there's this ridiculous comparison made by trump and his maga supporters, the one that equates trump with jesus christ himself. just today, he shared a link on social media to an article headlined the crucifixion of donald trump. don't forget back in october, trump shared an ai generated courtroom sketch that depicted jesus sitting next to him at one of his trials. all this reminds me of a bible verse from m

>> probably equal. >> 2 corinthians, right? to learn science, 3:17.game. >> is that your bible? >> it's a bible. >> oh, that is the whole ball game. you know, there's actually another bible verse that trump and his followers should know about, matthew 7:15. beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. let's bring back my panel to discuss this. molly, your reaction to great grifter that he is, he's a gift or in some ways, because he does give us these moments that we can kind of laugh that, although it may come at the peril of our democracy, and i feel sorry for the millions of americans who are coughing up their hard-earned money to smell victory 47. >> i mean, look, it's a president who sells bibles to raise money during holy week for his legal problems with an adult film star who he had an affair with when his third wife has delivered his fifth child. i mean, if that isn't something right out of, like, a flannery o'connor story, i don't know what is. i mean, you know, this is not, we, you know,

yeah, that's interesting. [ laughter ] corinthian.thian leather. [ laughter ] you guys, yesterday, trump was in court for a hearing on his hush money trial, and another one of his courtroom sketches went viral. let's take a look at how it turned out. look at this. yeah. so -- [ laughter ] it's not -- a lot of people have spoken out about the new sketch, including the sketch itself. >> steve: really. >> jimmy: yeah, take a look. it said, "this is outrageous. i might go down as the worst courtroom sketch of all time." [ laughter ] then, this other courtroom sketch of trump said, "um, have you seen me? [ laughter ] i look like dr. evil's hairless cat wearing a trump wig." [ laughter ] then this other sketch of trump said, "um, have you seen me? i look like the mucinex man's mother-in-law." [ laughter ] then this sketch said, "um, have you seen me? i look like what fred from scooby-doo looks like now." [ laughter ] then -- [ cheers and applause ] ♪ and finally, this sketch said, "um, have you seen me? i look like e.t. watching his bike ge

this is the man who wants said this two corinthians, 317, that's the whole ballgame where this of the lord, right? where the spirit of the lord is. there is liberty john, can you please remind me what is two corinthians >> favorite example of this when he was asked what his favorite bible verse was, he said, well, first of all, there's so many, i couldn't just so many and many said hold on. an eye for an eye >> i just thought was a >> great look. in fairness, whether you i think a lot of people who really he passionately disliked trump are praying again to the state of things. but now this is the life we've chosen. someone made a bad wish with a monkey, paula while ago. and this is the life we have now it is, it is remarkable glimpse of the path we could have been on that if the electoral college and bounce to slightly differently in 2016, donald >> trump would have been a tv pitch man for the past decade and he wouldn't be selling reverse reversible mortgages. dietary supplements. >> it >> does it is a reminder, however, of how fraught module and all the claims about his wealth are.

. >> the corinthians, that never stops me from laughing out loud. donald trump has given us all license to put out of bible. $49.99 or something like that. eugene, nice to see you, my friend. we don't usually get to talk is directly like this when you are on. the bus came on and said eugene daniels is on the show. and i'm glad you have on your great job today. >> i will send this to you. >> just text me and say you will be on. >> you guys have a great rest of your day and see you tomorrow morning. >> velshi starts now. >> good morning. it is saturday, march 30th. i'm ali velshi. we begin with the presumptive presidential nominee again escalating violent rhetoric. donald trump's latest dog whistle was posted on his social media platform, "truth social" which is part of the newly merged company that just went public this week making him come on paper, at least is substantially richer man begin our editorial discussions this morning, we were asked not to show the image from the video because it is violent and disturbing in nature. so in leiu of showing

he talks about 2 corinthians, and he has been asked by faith leaders, do you ever pray? not really.hen it comes to this. this is so much donald trump? it's much an artifact of this political moment, where this grifter that sells the golden shoes is now selling the bible to christians at this particular moment. you cannot make this up. this is earth 2.0. >> sam makes the important point here, while he's on trial for paying off a porn star for having an affair while his wife was home with a newborn, and now the idea that donald trump espouses, quote, christian values, and that's ludicrous on its face, but people will buy it. >> this has been something that has been evident with trump for a while now. there's an infamous poll in the 2016 race where white evangelical voters were asked about trump before and then after the stormy daniels situation, and their support went up. trump sold everything from steak to bibles to water to shoes, and this is just his brand and people buy into it, literally. i think the other element of the story that should be noted is that it does raise important

. >> 2 corinthians, 3:17, that's the whole ball game.rump carried a bible has he had peaceful protesters forcibly removed away from a church. christianity has become a center piece of his reelection campaign, and this endorsed bible that he's now selling mixes scripture with the law of the land. >> this bible is the king james version and also includes our founding father documents, yes, the constitution. >> so is there irony or a reason for concern over trump hawking a bible that includes the constitution giving that the opening lines of the first amendment prohibit the government from creating an official religion or favoring one religion. joining us now, bradley, host of the straight white american, and msnbc contributor and columnist, charlie sykes. dasha burns is with me on set. do you see any irony or concern about trump selling the bible? >> i see the irony of donald trump grifting by selling the bible during holy week, a book that he has obviously never read and wouldn't recognize the sermon on the mount, but the other irony is t

corinthian colum and we took this photograph. we didn't think anything of it. a's not until john's working it up and he's able to zoom in. and we have the gentleere reading the ner, and you'd think he'd be reading something like the wall street journal or the new york times, and instead he's reading the post. he didn't exactly bring a lot of gravitas to the to the space and up on the seventh floor is the dining room, which is the largest of the rooms in the clubhouse. it measures 136 feet long, three feet tall. it's all finished in english oak and the ceiling is actually modeled on the same ceiling of the doge's palace in venice and actually around the attic. you see these plaques originally there was a taxidermy that there was the heads of various animals were up them and the dining room incorporates these these wonderful six circular murals which are placed over doors, circle round walls, and they depict the six oldest colleges in america, this harvard, william and mary, yale, pennsylvania, columbia and princeton. and as wonderful as that is and it's a specta

in 2020 after they cleared protestors violently, he held it backwards he also talked about two corinthians. he he's not a religious guy >> and i think that that the him selling bibles is not because he's a really let us guy and we know that, but he does still appeal to evangelicals in huge numbers. something to definitely still no, yeah. >> kristen holmes. appreciate the report. thanks so much >> still ahead. the utah women's basketball coach says that her team had to switch hotels because of racist incidents. >> the fbi is now getting involved. the very latest after a quick break >> the lead with jake tapper today it on cnn >> kinda riva support your brain health. >> mary janet, hey, eddie. now, fraser, franck. franck, bread. how are you? >> fred, fuel up to seven brain health indicators, including your memory, joined the nar riva brain health challenge >> congrats carroll, your youngest finally popped the question, but now you're really going to have to get those new dentures after all you need a smile that matches the moment. so this might be a good time to mention that has been dental

he talks about two corinthians, he's been asked by faith leaders, do you ever ask for forgiveness?y are not going to swallow-- that they are going to draw the line, when it comes to this, but this is so much donald trump. it is such an artifact of this political moment, where, this-- elmer gantry grifter, who sells -- you know, who sells the golden tennis shoes is now selling the bible to christians at this particular moment. and you cannot make it up, and this is the-- this is earth 2.0. >> and sam, charlie makes the important point here that, while he is on trial for paying off a porn star for an affair he had while his wife was home with a newborn child, he is asking his supporters to buy his version of the bible for $60, undoubtedly going to pay legal fees for that same case, and many others. the idea that donald trump, as spouses quote, christian values, as you said in that ad, is ludicrous on its face, but people are going to buy the thing, we know that. >> it is quite the contrast, right? the gag order bought by the bible video. this is been something that has been evident w

heart of this, you know, frederick douglass july 5th, 1852, the famous july 5th address, right, in corinthianork, he has this wonderful line, joe. he says, "there is a horrible reptile coiled in the nation's bosom. i beg of you to tear it away." you know what? i believe that trump's attraction, joe, is that he makes white folk feel good. >> you know what, though? you worked for a guy named barack obama. >> i knew that was coming. >> well, no. it's history. so this is my question. i think he was a black man. i'm not good in history. i also think he may have been the only democrat to win a majority of the vote twice since fdr. >> not the white vote, though. >> the vote. >> right. >> the same people that were calling racists in iowa because they voted for trump voted for obama. see, that's why -- like, what happened between 2016 and now. voters in ohio, they're racist? they voted for obama. >> right. i'm one of the liberal media elites. >> i hear what you're saying, and i'm trying to figure this out. >> i'm one of the liberal media elites who went to pennsylvania and said, please, tell me. >> oh
