there are so many churches of different faiths per 1 m² that any capital city will envy behind my back, for example, the peter and paul church is literally 30 m away, the old believer churchwith an illustration that was stolen in the 17th century and since then it has been kept in st. petersburg. in some form, of course, this temple cannot be called a tourist attraction, but it is still curious. and this is an old believer church, people are creepy interesting in the 17th century, two monasteries appeared in drug at once, they say that the monks from drui even went to china walking in groups of three. look under your feet in some places there are pieces, old defectives and solid buildings made of local red brick of sadness, brick factory. he was famous for his products far beyond the boundaries of the town. now i will say a clever word - a monument of epigraphy of the 12th century. the dvinsky or borisov stones are named so in honor of the polotsk prince boris vseslavovich, who knocked out a cross on huge boulders and a request to god for help, what exactly the prince asked for over the years is not clear, either protection from hunger, or from the enemies of the borisov

and sincerity of the faith, perhaps, therefore , the modest, but unconditional love of parishioners, rural churches and temples have a special spiritual atmosphere. peter and paul churchin the village, the council is not visible from the main road, does not shine on this brotherhood in scope, however, for inexplicable reasons, it attracts parishioners not only from the surrounding villages, but also from other regions and cities. i want to understand why people come here, because in fact there are residents there, well, up to dozens. that is, there are very few who have a step near accessibility and come to the temple in order to pray. all the rest are visitors here, what attracts people here, what attracts them here. of course, i do not have such a definitive answer to this question. but inside i get the impression that here people find, well, a certain image of the temple, which hits him in the heart. i think it is precisely the feature that here a person comes to himself does not feel small , somehow insignificant, maybe some kind of uh, passing by chance. the parishioners love our church very much. they say that there is some kind of, well, extraordinary aura, er,

what he's planning to do? >> well, look, he continues to say he's just told what he told the truth and how he seen it. i asked him specifically, in fact, the anecdote that he asked him to violate the constitution. donald trump denied that. mike pence said what he said is the truth. so we will see how that plays out when or if he ends up on a stand. i'm more curious to see how does mike pence articulate all this on a debate stage? it's one thing in an interview, one thing at the state fair. what does he say when he knows there's a whole bunch of people almost wanting to jump on him the second he talks about it. that's the moment i'm going to be fascinated to watch, how mike pence navigates this on a debate stage when the question is asked. >> that's a great point. we look forward to

♪ ♪ and unwind in downtown san jose. the annual summer jazz fest returned friday night, taking over the park and a number of streets downtown. that was the sole rebels, a band out of new orleans. the festival has been bringing jazz to downtown san jose for more than 30 years. and this year's event also coincides with the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. the festival, unfortunately, wraps up today. >>> if you can't make it to the jazz festival, here are other events you can attend. >> good morning, kira. let's get this party started, or continued with day two here in san francisco. we're celebrating food, family and culture with eight pavilions devoted to our heritage, innovation, sports, and they're going to showcase live performances of all types, local artisans and the opportunity to help others discover filipino heritage and traditions. but instead of reinforcing that, some folks might want to focus on a culture of demolition. so we go to the demolition derby. at the fair grounds in santa rosa, they're sporting monster trucks, just basically demolition derby in general. sounds like it's describing the morning commute, right? we hope not. and schools kicking in around the bay, some are kicking in for kids. we have kutz for kidz where kids are eligible for a free haircut and backpacks there at the barbershop in san jose on santa clara street. i'll be tracking your commute tomorrow morning. i'll be here on "today in the bay." >> mike, see you tomorrow morning. >>> trending this morning, dunkin coffee may be a big part of our mornings, and the drinks are reportedly getting a new twist for the nighttime. the chain is set to release a line of spiked coffee and teas. the company reportedly received approval for the new labels called "dunkin spiked." dunkin donuts has been in the alcohol beverage game. a website for dunkin spiked has been launched but no release date announced. >>> time now to check in with cinthia pimentel for a look at the forecast. i don't know, i don't know. >> oh, my gosh. it's so beautiful behind us. let's move on from the spiked coffee and look at the beautiful sun rise. >> for the evening hours, i'll stick to an espresso martini. not sure about that in a can. let's see what's going on with our weather, starting off with dense fog over pacifica in the mid 50s. give yourself extra time to head out the door. mid 60s this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. look at dublin, already seeing pacifica's daytime highs at this hour, and we're going to warm up for your lunchtime hour near 90 degrees by the time we go to 1:00, 2:00 p.m. but we're in for a very warm day around the bay area. we'll see the 90's in our inland valleys. 94 in livermore. 95 in morgan hill. 70s and 80s around the immediate bay, and 71 in san francisco for the last day of outside lands. but that's not the temperature that we're keeping an eye on closely. it's more so of what's happening over the sierra. look at that picking up on some lightning strikes, as this low pressure continues to turn, and possibly getting closer to the bay area. all of that moisture, spinning around that low pressure that's been hanging tight over southern california. so you could see those high clouds passing on through, making the conditions feel more muggy, struggling to go outside later in the afternoon. really, aside from the temperatures and possibly the thunderstorms is the lightning concerns. the blue squares that you see on your screen really coming closer to the bay area. so by tonight, we could see showers down here in the south bay. when you hear thunder roar, go indoors. as we go on through the late hours of tonight, early morning commute hours, could see some wet roadways, and really those blue little squares start to come a little closer. we're seeing some over the mt. hamilton area, through the north bay mountains, and still heavy activity over the sierra. that's what we are watching right now, mixed in with the high temperatures, the breezy conditions in the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere, could be a potential of some wildfires sparking around the bay area. so that's what we need to be mindful of over the next few days. we'll keep an eye over what's developing monday into tuesday. i think tuesday will be the hottest day where we start to see some of the triple digit temperatures out there in fairfield, possibly concord, and down through the santa clara valley. by wednesday, we are seeing the high temperatures stick around. so drink lots of water, be fire safe and aware. i don't see any cooling coming our way in there in the north bay into the weekend. a lot going on. >> almost 100, wow. all right, cinthia, thanks for the warning. >>> just shy of 7:22. much more ahead on "today in the bay."

that. so getting my 11 on 11 reps at practice, getting my timing and everything down with the receivers as a whole. >>> so the 49ers will take on the raiders this afternoon at 1:00 in las vegas.

low 80s around the immediate bay. we're going to see a warmup today through the next three, four days. temperatures could reach the triple digits, but it's not so much the temperatures that will be of concern. yes, we still have to stay hydrated and everything, but we are tracking the chance of thunderstorms and dry lightning coming very close to the bay. i'll give you all those details in a little bit. >> sounds like a dangerous situation. cinthia, thanks. >>> we want to begin with breaking news just in. a deadly crash in the south bay that happened just after 5:00 this morning. police tell us

victims and survivors of those three fires that have torn through maui. here is a look at the latest. the lahaina fire remains 85% contained. that was our update yesterday morning. and the south maui wildfire was declared 100% contained yesterday. meanwhile, the upcountry fire is holding at 50% containment. no change there. so far, more than 14,000 people have been given a place to stay in makeshift shelters in nearby hotels. 2200 structures and buildings destroyed, most of them are homes. maui county officials are estimating the losses could total as much as $6 billion. the governor of hawaii yesterday acknowledged the unimaginable scope of this tragedy and predicts it will take a long time to recover. but he says he is sure they will rebuild. >> so the next few days, as we characterize how many people we have lost, and how many people are coming into our community, please understand that we come at this knowing that in the short term, it's going to be heartbreaking, and in the long-term people will need mental health care services. and we'll rebuild together. >> official rsz defending their initial response when the fire broke out on tuesday, saying even if those warning sirens were functioning, flames were moving so quickly, there wasn't much they could do differently. hawaii's attorney general says her department will review the response and the policies that were in place prior to, during, and after that fire. >>> for most people, evacuating from a wildfire is unimaginable. but for one north bay couple we spoke with, it's something they have unfortunately already been through. courtney frazier, and aldo vargas were evacuated during the 207 tubbs fire. they never imagined something like that would happen again. this time, they were on their honeymoon. they arrived in maui on monday. on tuesday, their hotel just north of lahaina lost power. things escalated from there. they were at the grocery store buying supplies, and they were evacuated. >> we got back to the hotel, and you could see the smoke from our hotel room. and that's when we d to our car. >> no warning f thefire, no anything like that. >>y said they took turns sleeping in their hotel lobby on tuesday night, trying to get information, as the fire got closer. they got over to the airport by wednesday. they had to fly to honolulu, and then back to maui before coming to the bay area friday night. they are now home in santa rosa. >>> the devastating maui fires were, of course, on the hearts and minds of everyone at the bay area aloha festival on the peninsula. it opened yesterday with a prayer and moment of silence for the victims. this year, the mood at the santa mayo event center was celebratory and somber. many have friends and family impacted by the fires. >> we know someone who just passed away, which is hard to accept. i mean, it's -- just knowing that you know somebody. >> there were opportunities to donate money to the maui strong fund, as well as your airline miles to hawaiian airlines. we have also posted a list of verified organizations that are collecting donations right there on our website. just go to nbcbayarea.com, and

more. four people were killed, one person is still unaccounted for. three people were hurt in the explosion, one person remains in critical condition. two others have since been released. there's currently no word on what caused the explosion. >>> former president donald trump joined other republicans on the campaign trail yesterday at the iowa state trail, trump repeating his belief that the 2020 election was rigged. florida governor ron desantis criticized the former president for saying he didn't want to participate in the republican debate later this month. republican candidate rammaswamy talked about having trump as a vice presidential running mate. and for a second night in a row, one of the stages at outside lands closed early, as people were told to leave. the stage had partially collapsed friday. crews repaired it and it reopened yesterday morning. but around 5:30 last night, organizers posted on social media saying the stage was closed again because of a problem with the flooring. the artists performing at the time posted on social media, saying y'all broke the floor. >>> many bay area students are going back to school tomorrow. some already finished their

binders to backpacks. and college students and their families are expected to spend nearly $1400 per person. this increase is mostly caused by the highest ever demand for electronics and computer related accessories. >>> all right. still to come on "today in the bay," a south bay community rallies behind a fruit vendor. we'll show you the turn o for ut >>> good morning. it's 7:41. waking up with 50s and 60s around the bay that will quickly warm for our warmest day of the weekend. some 70s and 80s around the immediate bay. 90s as you make your way into the trivalley, the delta down through the santa clara valley. but the temperatures won't be the biggest of the stories. we're tracking moisture already detecting some lightning over the sierra that could push on through into parts of the bay. at times, you might notice the high clouds pushing on through. you might feel it as the afternoon goes on. we've got some potential of showers pushing on through where you see the yellow and orange spots, some of those amounts would be heavy at times. those high clouds, the moisture will continue for the early morning commute hours on monday. so the rain, along with the potential for dry lightning at times, is becoming a little closer to the bay area. so where you see the little blue squares popping up, we are seeing that activity through the foothills and central valley. as we fast forward to give you more of what's ahead for monday, that's when the chances of it could pop up in parts of the h baaybe l and napa counties there. even popping up there in mt. hamilton. look at the heavy activity through the sierra. what is this bringing along with it? breezy at times, and it's going to be the potential for the humidity levels to go down. we're seeing the hillsides a very concerning brown color. so we'll kee an eye to see if any of those lightning strikes get too close for home. what are we looking like as far as our temperatures over the next couple of days? we are in store for a warmup. we'll start our workweek with some 80s and 90s through the valleys. still mild along the coastline. tuesday, that will be the hottest of days. kids starting school and will need some of that looser clothing, some water to stay hydrated. 101 in fairfield. 90s through the trivalley. by wednesday, we still hang onto the warm temperatures, but it will become more breezy as we see the patterns start to change a little bit. we're watching this low coming a little closer. that blue color will start to bring the breeze up a little bit. the moisture levels, of course, dropping those temperatures down. so i don't see any cooling in the forecast, until we get to about thursday, friday. san francisco going to deal with mild weather there, too. a chance of showers tomorrow. still warm on tuesday and our inland valleys, yes, from the 90s to triple digit heat over the next couple of. so do be carefulf that. lawn mower over the next couple of days. i'm not seeing any cooling until we get to thursday and friday of next week. >> yeah. a 14-degree drop. cinthia, thank you so much. it's 7:44. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, larry gerston is here to discuss that conflict of interest facing justice clarence thomas over gifts and travel. plus, our favorite time of the year, when we work to clear the shelters. this is barbie, a 5-month-old basset hound mix. didn't we have ten yesterday? and next weekend, we are hosting several pet adoption pop-up >>> welcome back. people in the south bay come together yesterday to support a strawberry vendor who had been harassed by security guards last month. video shows security guards confronting the vendor in the parking lot on story road. they threatened to arrest the man if he didn't leave. they kicked over his strawberries, and called the police. well, yesterday, dozens of people showed up. musicians, as well, to support the vendor and buyout all his strawberries. organizers tell us how disappointed, this is just the latest in a string of incidents where vendors are attacked. >> it's been unfortunately a lot of things have been happening around with the vendors. so we just wanted to let the world to know, spread awareness that we're here to help you guys out, show some love. that's what the world needs, support. and i'm super excited we made it happen for him today. >> so nice. home depot says the two men in the video no longer work for the company. >>> now to recent news reports showing that supreme court justice clarence thomas received dozens of luxurious vacations and other lavish visits from billionaires without disclosing them. critics accused him of breaking with judicial norms. political analyst larry gerston is here. hi, larry. great to see you this morning. i feel like it depends on which side of the aisle you're on, but has justice thomas done anything wrong? >> have you been listening at my script? >> i'm cautious, i'm cautious. >> we need to be serious about this, though. we're talking about a situation where someone has received millions of dollars of gifts in trips and what have you. the question is, is this person getting it because someone is trying to influence him? or does he just have a lot of wealthy friends? those are the kinds of issues that people are thinking about. either way, justice thomas has seen not to report these things very often at all, which leaves people questioning his behavior. >> what is he supposed to be doing? what are the rules surrounding supreme court justices versus the other two branches of the u.s. government? >> you know, there are very strict rules when it comes to congress and the executive branch, particularly when it comes to the kind of money that comes in, not necessarily to campaign, but for your own use, for your personal use. you must account for everything, and there are agencies watching over you if you don't. the court, though, is another story. the district and appeals courts have rules, but as far as the u.s. supreme court goes, very, very flimsy reporting those, virtually none. but there are some. if you don't go buy them, that's a problem in itself. so last march, the court decided to tighten its rules, but we're going to use that word "tighten" loosely, because the new rules aren't much different than the old. >> so loosely tightened. so it sounds like day and night that the other branches have those tough reporting standards and the supreme court doesn't. so what about transparency? suspect that the new thing? >> it's the new thing, but it's not this thing here. we don't have transparency. clearly we don't have transparency. the biggest problem of all, kira, public confidence in our institutions is as an all-time low. for the longest time, while it was going down for congress and the president, the public held the court in high esteem. not so much any more. these days, the dobs decisions, other justices, not as bad, leave people wondering what's going on? where is the accountability? where is the kind of punishment you get if you don't do it right? there is none there. we're counting on them and them alone. and so far they're not doing a good job. >> right. because from an outsider's perspective, if you are receiving gifts from someone who has cases before you, seems like a conflict of interest. but what do i know? larry, thank you for joining us. just shy of 7:52. up next, a quick look at the top stories, including work to recover victims a and the search for survivors on maui. for survivors on maui. we'll have the (warehouse

story road and marayes court. traffic is being diverted on east bound story road. >>> back to our other top story, the death toll on maui has climbed overnight to 93. that makes the lahaina wildfire the deadliest wildfire in u.s. history, passing the campfire from 2018. some 1,000 people remain unaccounted for. crews are still working in hopes of finding victims and survivors from all three fires that have torn through the island. we have a map of the latest right now. the lahaina fire remains 85% contained. that's the same from yesterday. the south maui wildfire was declared 100% contained yesterday. and the upcountry fire is 50% contained. so far, more than 14,000 people have been evacuated and given a place to stay in makeshift shelters and hotels. 2200 structures and buildings have been destroyed, most of them, people's homes. maui county officials are estimating the losses could total as much as $6 billion, and they are vowing to rebuild. we have posted a list of verified

week in west africa, missionaries from a bay area churchom cornerstone church in antioch went to niger for what was supposed to be a trip to spread their faith. but a government coup prevented the group from leaving the country. thanks to the help of the u.s. state department, they made it back home safely. and we are live right now at that church, where the pastor says they will have a welcome home celebration service at 10:00 this morning for those missionaries and families. looks like a beautiful day out there already. cinthia has one last check of the forecast before we go. >> a beautiful day, just gives you that sense of community out there. it's going to be beautiful weather from san francisco. look at that. mild weather over the next couple of days. still tracking the chance of showers moving in through the city and it passes the inland valleys coming from the sierra. we're going to be dealing with hot and dry conditions over the next couple of days. so stay

faith. in this photo, he appeared at the issue of russian birth certificates to ukrainian children, where he invited parents to baptize their children in the anatolii orthodox church. part of the property that was in the churchto an unknown destination. well , then the fake priest decided to continue his political career and appeared in the lists candidates for deputies from united russia in the pseudo-elections that the russian federation is going to hold in the fall of this year in the occupied territories, i wonder what kind of pre-election promises the zigar will have, free of charge, will forgive the sins of everyone who betrayed the motherland, i really hope that we will not find out because our armed forces and law enforcement agencies have arrested the seller earlier and he will relearn the biblical commandments in a ukrainian prison, do not kill, do not steal, do not cheat, in 10 years behind bars, he will have time not only to remember them, but also to realize that the sbu has opened a criminal proceedings against the abbot of the uoc mp temple who helped the fascists. during the occupation of kyiv region, viktor talko, the abbot of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate in boron

churches but may they believed all te of godod through the church, tht faith them would ever be able to qualify if they straightened up. a couple different profits followed victor after his death one was a middle-aged woman named lois. she took as her disciple a young stammering bumbling young guy from houston named vernon wayne howell under her tutelage. he revealed himself as being informed by heaven. he wasme king cyrus of the old testament. he had to takeest the name koreh because siegrist is pronounced koresh in hebrew. he was thes lamp of the book of revelation. he was going to lead his followers into the final epic fight with babylon. the end of days is not only coming soon, it's coming now and with wants to do. they were biblical literalists and whatever else we talked about today, this is what we must remember. they firmly believed, and the survivors today still believe this, that the god they believed in had told them through his prophet, david koresh, what they must do, and so they would do it, even if secular law said no. because gods law is the only true law whatever else we may think with all the things that happened, they sincerely devoutly believed they were doing the work of god. i really had to work to learn that and accept it before i could start writing about their perspective on things. and if youth read the book, give it doesn't mean you're going to say all, they did what was right, but at least you will know why they did things and how come the really critical elements of history. >> host: charles manson, jim jones, vernon wayne howell a.k.a. david koresh. not very good childhoods. >> guest: no, but it is also true that children with much worse childhoods don't go out to proclaim themselves prophets and lead people to their death. manson didn't want my book to come out when he found out i traced his history to us because that would be able to write about his somewhat pampered childhood. jim jones had an odd childhood that he was always loved vernon wayne howell was born to a 14-year-old girl and was raised with a lot of uncles and stepdad, but he never wanted for food or attention. we can understand when people have problems how it might affect them. that doesn't mean we have too also believe that it was inevitable that became what they became. >> how many children of david koresh survived, and why so many? >> guest: sodavid koresh children, most of them, died in the final fire. that was deliberate on his part. all told, he fathered 23 children by just about a dozen women. he said that the bible quoted that the lamb shall spread his seed, so the lamb of revelation can't be jesus because he didn't have children, so vernon the lamb had to have children. obviously he could have those with just one wife. and that these children of israel really old souls being born again and when the end times came they would be the magistrate of the book of revelation, would help rule over the new kingdom of god. three of his children were out of mount carmel by the time the atf operation took place. their 2-twomac mothers had become disenchanted with koresh and left taking the children with them. during the season itself he sent out other children from mount carmel but never his children. he set out the children of followers, but he fully expected his followers, expected, they will have to die here the fbi, atf previously are doing what the bible predicted. so their children, the little children of the followers can be sent out two or three at a time because they don't have any vital role coming but koresh children haveom to stay and his children burned to death on april 19, 1993. at this by99 the way points t one of the big mistakes the fbi made. they never bothered to learn what the branch davidians and koresh really believed. they called it bible babble, a delusion, and it wouldn't even talk to them about it because they said we are just buying into the delusion if we do that. they did not know though that child welfare workers in waco try to tell them that koresh isn't sending his own children without. the fbis taking this as a wonderful son picked he'sid letting the kids out there he will send more, he will send more. he's not sending his children out there that means he's got some plan for a grand finale. but the fbi didn't listen to her they just said kids are coming out maybe it's working. think of how horrible that is. you are followers of koresh that you were in that there surrounded by tanks, forar god's sake. you expectre any minute you are going to be blown to smithereens. and you are pleased. this means david's offices were correct we are going to be translated up to heaven and come back in the army of jesus. if the fbi knew that, do you think maybe they wouldn't have finally decided after seven weeks okay, we're just going to go in there and knock them down, there will not be able to stop us? everybody misunderstood everybody else chaos inevitably follows. >> host: jeff guinn, did you have good results talking to survivors, talking to dissidents of branch davidians? >> guest: there aren'ts? many left. a lot w of them were younger ony nine adults escaped conflagration. i talked to five and had a phone conversation with another one who is living in england now who so hated the questions i was asking him he decided i was sent by the devil. these people, the survivors, to this day believe that david koresh really was the lamb, that everything he said was true, that the things that happened to waco really are the beginning of the end times that will happen any minute, that david is going to return just like you promised. they dono not regret what they did. they believe strongly that god approves of what they did there they were living for god they are still living for god. i talked to them. theyke were very open, very helpful. i feel like we have pretty good relationships. then the book came out. in it i prep what they say but it also printed the fact that vernon wayne howell, david karesh stole all his prophecies come plagiarized from an earlier koresh in florida almost 100 years ago almost word for word. of and these are people who fo0 years has sustained themselves by hanging on to this belief. that's what they built their lives around, here comes this outsider who said look, i respect you but you follow someone who wasn't what he said he was. now, it's that likely they're going to say make you. they haven't. i've got all the facts in the book and i invited them please come check , check for yourself, don't take my word for it. they are not doing that. they don't feel they have to because they know the truth and the truth is what david said, no matter what i may think of uncovered. >> host: we are talking with historian and investigative reporter jeff guinn on booktv, and that which occurred but we want to hear your voices as well. will put the phone numbers up and we will hear from glenn who was calling from friedland michigan. glenn, good afternoon to you. >> caller: thanks everyone. my question is about manson and the idea narrative with a capital in like, for example, that jesse smiled at hate crime hoax which was quite obvious and ridiculous, yet lots of people immediately accepted and promoted it, including the current president and vice president of the united states, that was because it served a bigger narrative about racism and homophobia and blah, blah, blah in the case of manson and his supposedly abusive child, until you came along, jeff, pretty muchme entire world excet to destroy that he was a victim of his family and society at large and all that. even john lennon of the beatles bought into it. why do you think that was? do you think what, if any, larger narrative do you think was being served by disorder blind faith in this fictionalized narrative of mansion besides , i think we've got it that we'd appreciate it. we appreciate it. second goes back to where we started our conversation about the mythology of american events. >> guest: you've got to remember that in 1968, 1969 in america anything seemed possible that would've seemed impossible just a few years before. you had young people radically changing, previously in america the kids were going to go up to be like their parents and all of a sudden you were finding young people thinking it's that old all right to be disrespectful, it's necessary because we need to make things better. you've got music becoming the cultural touchstone instead of books, instead of tv. for the first time you've got national news that the broadcast pretty much on a 24/7 basis, but the evenings you can always listen to walter cronkite a man walks on the moon. the new york mets when the pan it. richard nixon comes back from obscurity to become president of the united states partners riotf in the streets. civiler rights just tell everything going crazy here and people want something that they can glom onto nancy and it what they want to see. charlie mansion provided that he was a very protean sort of figure. nixon got into hot water because he said in a news conference that it's obvious that man is guilty, and why is the news media glorifying him? five course good mansion metric manson to say the president said the spirit he didn't get that. student rebels all thought that manson was great. bernadette dorn and some of those, they had their gesture like this. and the labianca murders, a fork was jabbed into leo labianca abdomen. so this was the tines of the fork but if you want to believe manson was like che guevara, you can believe that if you want to believe he was proof that all this hippie sky was not only disgusting but dangerous come he could be that if you wanted a great grizzly to crime mystery with sex and drugs rock 'n' roll entertainment, you could have that so manson fit so well into that time when every headline anyway was sensationalistic in some way. that he served the nations need for something to believe in and all different categories of belief could see in them what they wanted. that's the fascination of the 1960s and charlie manson, that we were at a time and place where someone like him could mean so many things to so many different people. >> host: cornelius in alexandria louisiana iran with author jeff guinn. >> caller: hello, jeff and peter. god bless both of y'all. now jeff, i want to bring up having an african-american and you know the story of -- i try to i'm sorry, you broke up. >> host: cornelius, can you keep your mouth close to your phone? >> guest: can you hear me know? >> host: please go ahead. >> caller: okay. do you know the story of the lone ranger? >> guest: yes, i do. >> caller: look, there is a guide made bass reads and he was an african-american marshal in the oklahoma territory and stuff, and that's what the real lone ranger was based upon their si smithsonian museum show about that and they had clayton moore's granddaughter or daughter other talking about that heat had an engine companin and he worked with a hanging judge and the ultimate territory. but he was an escaped slave and everything after the civil war and stuff and he had hundred headed towards oklahoma and they say he wase greater than bat masterson and stuff. i would love -- traveled let's get a comment from jeff guinn. thanks, cornelius tragic cornelius makes an excellent point and that's another reason why studying history, researching it, writing about it is important. and particularly minority americanss have been so misrepresented throughout history there is a feeling right now that if you are white historian you can't properly understand and write about minority figures in history i hope that changes just as it will have more minority writers writing about white subjects will all understand each other better. bass reeves is an american -- amazing character i'd like to sit everybody out there who is e interest in wild west history, look thiss man up here you will be fascinated by his life and times. >> host: and there is a connection to the lone ranger. >> guest: very much so. >> host: let's move on to carl in chicago. carl please go ahead with your question or comment. >> caller: yes i have a comment and a question. i accidentally met that jonestown boys sometime after the incident because they were flying from new york city to dayton where i lived within, to return home, i think the indiana. my question is, why does, why do humans have such a fascinating with cults? >> guest: that's a fair question i think the best way to answer it is at the word cult is misused. weekend now, we're in the habit, it really started with manson through jim jones w for the brah davidians anytime there's a group that is sort of separates themselves they may have some religious belief that is not mainstream, it's easy to say oh, there are colts. you're probably not very bright and their following some fraud. that's not the case at all but because the mythology is so strong, a lot of the media picks up on it and puts it out there and that just intensifies the feeling. that manson family had nothing in common with people stable, have nothing, with the branch davidians. cults is just widely misused, and i think that's the reason people make assumptions about what a cult must be. >> host: jim jones son survived today, correct? >> guest: a couple of them, yes. >> host: did it talk to you? >> guest: jim jones junior am proud to say is one of my best friends in this world. he calls himself the first black child adopted by a white family in indiana. his wife wanted to develop a rainbow family, that is, they are preaching the quality of the races come let's adopt children of different that we can sure everyone can live together in harmony. and jim and stephen, who was the only s blood child of jim and marshall and jones, still are unlike i've met both of them. i am much closer to jimmy and stephen who is very reluctant to speak to outsiders. we are talking about good, intelligent people who have become the kind of american citizens we all aspire to be, involved in their communities, have loving families. they managed, they have rough times. they got through it. again, with cults we always think anybody who is involved, what must they be quick they must be more on spirit absolutely not the case in any of these groups usually have highly intelligent people who have been looking for like-minded others that they can feel comfortable with. and jimmy and stephen have very well adapted now to the world as it is, but they were there when the father was faking miracle healing curator they saw him during his drug usage. they understood what a flawed person he was. but it also saw that the peoples temple itself,le the causes, wee very just they were working towards. they say, and it's true, as jim jones deteriorated into drug addiction and paranoia, people stayed in people stable not because he thought he was a god or a great man, but because they of the templeals were what counted we will do this in spite of him, instead of under his leadership. i would say to anybody who met with them, you would like them, you would learn a lot from them i've learned a great deal from cult members and grow because of it. >> host: jeff guinn, is it a fluke that both jim junior and steve are alive today? >> guest: yes. jim and stephen were part of the jonestown basketball team that had been allowed to leave jonestown which by the way is buried in the middle of the impenetrable jungle, to get in there to take a look at it i had to charter a plane, landed in the middle of the jungle, little by the landing strip and use machetes to cut a couple miles into the jungle to find where this had happened. the guyanese government tolerated jonestown, but were not necessarily enthralled with jim jones himself. the idea that jonestown would have a basketball team that could go into georgetown come by guyanese capital, employ exhibition games against the guyaneseti national team, maybe that will help. so jimmy and steven and some of the other young man from jonestown werest in georgetown when the big moment came. a couplesman at members of the news media were killed. jim jones gathered everyone together to die as a political gesture. and he called the office they had in georgetown, and jimmy took the call. his father use code words, killed yourself. and jimmy and stephen no, we are not doing that. do it. and there were some followers who were there in the building they really still believe in jim jones pick one woman took a knife and killed herself and her children.. jimmy and stephen, thinking, well maybe before has everybody died in jonestown he will do what it is four our sermons complete racing to the american embassy to see, can we get a helicopter? can we get a small plane? if we can get there we can stop this you know, we will go stand right next to him and say no, you can't do this to the embassy was closed for the night. would talk to them because they thought peoples temple were a work much t americans were doing questionable things. the next morning the surviving basketball team members in georgetown were arrested by the guyanese police and were held on suspicion of murder here it took a long timee to get out of ther. but it was by sheer luck that the jones boys lived through that. other think it was great good fortune. there great contributing citizens. >> host: government response to both jonestown and to waco. did not save lives. .. not, -- it did not, though there are different circumstances in both cases. jim jones had gone to diana -- guyana after his reputation in america had been destroyed by some investigative reporting that indicated negative ministry people hadn't knownth before. he was still considered by the government to be legitimate. there is going to be investigation because relatives complained there family members were being held against their will. whether they work or not is questionable but when that pressure came and congressman chose to show up and say coming in, i'm going to inspect, maybe two dozen of the people wanted to leave. he said fine, so over 900 people and he was a drug addict paranoid. soon, everybody is that's why she decided, killed the congressman and we are going to die here and to remind everybody congresswoman jackie retired the assistant she was down there in 1970. one thing i have to remind people of is there three groups the ended horribly and didn't have to end the way it did. best result would have been t clean operation, nobody dies d we come out looking great. only the gender required people to die and that's a fact. we shouldn't forget it. >> mike, detroit. go ahead with your question or comment. >> it's great to hear. i lived in arizona and one thing that struck me about tombstone, the civil war brought west, the union soldiers and texans and even the father was an abolitionist so it seems the war never ended, border states to 20 years later until that generation died out. >> that's a great observation and it's critical. thank you for raising that. up until the civil war, most pioneers out west are coming from the northeast because there's so little available land, they want to become landowners and farms and ranches. after the civil war, the majority of the people coming west to make their fortune are former citizens of the confederacy getting away from the union so now suddenly the southwest in arizona you cut people moving in trying to a get away from government control. the government shouldn't tell us what to do, we came here to avoid that.t. then you get those who identified the union as law and order saying got to have cattle herds and for you can get your cattle and carry guns and taxes were a big issue. if i'm a former confederate soldier in a come to arizona to tombstone to make a new life, i want some yankee fighting on the other side to be the sheriff and telling me cattle looks was suspicious and might be wrestled and i'm going to take your heard to make sure so this exacerbated it and brought the conflict into a different area of america where tension will rise so sectional rivalry is important, i'm glad you raised that subject. >> what is your favorite tv adaptation of this holiday story? >> i know i should say something deep and thoughtful but the thing i loved most is in tombstone, i think there quite a few tv shows that have been great entertainment and made a sacrifice and i'm still hoping somebody will say the movie but make it realistic. may the force be with you for asking the m question. >> next call from ames iowa this is nancy. go ahead with your question or comment. >> or comment on history touching our lives despite absolute chance lbj ranch lady bird johnson in the center, we were doing a story and quietly during that lunch, i was sitting next to her and told her it is this memory in my mind get, thank you very much and she on her obligation of what we had but i could see in her face and body language her distress. another thing, this happens to be me, marge anniversary history can touch one's life. my husband and i were married in washington d.c. the most wonderful man but those are my comments and i am enjoying this wonderful historian who we need to love and charge them and promote them in any way we can. >> you've dropped a couple of names, can you tell us about yourself? >> i can, i was a magazine editor, i found a magazine in 1987 my background before the in american history, i have been an observer, and under american heritage for a short period of time and probably of the wonderful jason mccauley. we work together. >> are you associated with the state university? >> my husband is tired, however he is associated with the university because he's been involved with the foundation that maintains -- he has a 30 year career and we are both retired. >> any comment? >> it's wonderful we have people who not only care about history but an active part of it. good for her and thank you for sharing the story about lady bird johnson. lady bird had been in charge, who would never have had the tragedy, would have been more thoughtful going to take time. >> the lbj library in austin ahead of time, he told a fascinating story others might like to hear. >> people always ask, when did you get interested in history? one of the important moments as a sophomore at the university of texas in austin, they began building the library on campus and lyndon johnson retired from campus by helicopter with his assistant and family or friends, he would take them on tours. this would allow college students maybe three or four at a time to join his group and a dozen times i was able to follow lyndon johnson talking about this event or a that event liste said martin luther king at this moment and called george wallace his presidency and said and the testicles are like this but i got more involved. hearing these stories and seeing some great historic figure whose real made me want to know more and essentially dedicated my career to so thank you very much lyndon johnson and every time i see a bowlingth ball, i always think. >> i hope that story goes viral. jeff, i am a sucker for horses. i like westerns. i'm puzzled by the fact that none of your books which i read contain footnotes, sources, bibliographies or documentation. can you help me understand that? >> if you're saying that, you haven't read my chapter notes. i'm careful to list everything, i urge you to go back and look again, thank you. >> next call from rick in kentucky, go ahead. >> thank you for taking my call. my question is about waco at the end of the operation on the assault have been collected attorney general and president clinton to sign off on that or was that made from the local level?t >> thank you for asking that, an interesting story. janett reno sworn into office by the senate in the middle of the standoff the fbi had taken over, the fbi brought to her a written plan to end the siege, their idea was this teargas gradually over two days and everyone would finally get set up and come out. no approved this plan only after he was a short it would not be dangerous particularly to the children inside the compound. she finally said yes i think this is what you can do. what is a fact is that would take place gradually over two days. except in great quantities. around 6:00 a.m. immediately fired all of its case supposed to last two days but last three to four hours. the fbi had cut off electricity, and rainy spring to warrant lanterns lithe fuel oil. re bound to explode if themount flamee was initiated. the question of the, fbi that fire when the lantern got knocked over and today commit suicide. the fbi should not have done what it. in the media chief was lied to. the fact remains that it was done so we can say they approved the plan and they did but not plan so, it is sort of gray area. how much was true that thomas edison, henry ford and person all went camping together but. >> this is one of my favorite books ever written because it was so much fun. for the camping trip started, they would take their cars and processional trucks hauling food, they would simply come out on the roads of america for trips. when the fir model introduced to the country all of a sudden your family can afford a car, people's transportation to and from work from afford the nation to understand that part was really no reason to go out on a family car trip in a 12 year. because the most famous men in america and media covered everyday of the trips, we switched the horse and buggy or railroad culture to our culture when they started their trip is a hundred thousand voters in america. by the time they finished, there's millions of colors and well over half the model t the edison and ford love going out together, their idea of roughing it meant nice meal and they could have fresh closing the next day. if any of you get a chance to go to the ford museum in michigan, please do so. it is a full story shows a man changing but there's no blood or got involved and i enjoyed writing about tragedy. it's a wonderful story and hope more to learn about it. can't the entourage might have eight or nine cars in the entourage remember no highways in america. this is the time in american history, west virginia, that there w twisting her tongue and you run to the roadside and that is henry ford, thomas edison. this brought important people out there. everybody would say isn't it wonderful we are seeing someone special just for pennies. in writing the book, it's the only book i've ever written on trying to relax and look through to the number trips. >> he followed up were on the border and hunt. how much of that is. >> the greatest myth is a political campaign and an americani and candidate in the run up to the 2016 election and am doing well on the border and mexico is going to pay for it and it's going to be i wonderfu. i thought to myself will well, don't you think somebody might have thought of it before? babyby research history and wrie a book about it. lo and behold there are plans to build a wall across the border between the united states and mexico, 1904, 1908, 1912, thinking 14, 1917 -- every time they were building the wall and there is no you couldn't maintain and people were determined to climb over or under a breakthrough, it never worked in the past. how can a candidate say that? i guess he never studied the history. it might be helpful. you should learn about the pursuit, read into america, i never heard about in the of this stuff cannot fly i love researching history it will surprise you. some in the border history the understood 1916 time and money building the wonderful threat that took the u.s. army begun to texas. >> americans have always believed the matter what else happened on our borders are here. they wanted to incite movement across the border into mexico. basically the billing about the only thing he could do people size of. to their territory. by attacking and killing americans they will have to aftere and they are trying to take more of our country so first he killed american engineers in mexico, a lot of mexican territory in northern states is owned by americans and when the government came and decided you need to go to show americans they can do in the country so crossing to a little town for killed people, government had to do something in his mission. connected world war one stop that mission? [laughter] >> world war i stopped the mission but because of what happened, america was prepared for entry and that is part of the story. that's what's wonderful history, who chases mexico and there strengthsnt whatever you do, the presence of trapped by the mexican army northeast mexico and the can't move in any election, a brilliant soldier and realizes the american army is prepared to go into battle. it is time to bring troops to drill them and they have never had this so america enters world war two months later andwa is te commander over the but if his troops he brought to mexico for the only battle troops they had to without punitive exposition, america had to hold out for months and who knows how that would be changed. >> as we continued thepe conversation with jeff quinn, 748-8201 for those of you in the mountain and pacific. don't want to make a comment, social media and text a question or comment (202)748-8903. those are text messages only. include your first name and city if you would. let's hear from gary in sioux falls, dakota. hi, gary. >> thankou you for having historical facts. i am a history major and better. i'm curious, you are talking about turmoil kennedy and martin luther kingg jr. were killed. were you doing about that time? >> i'm about to turn 72, i was in college. 1968 presidential campaign itself to the increase in paranoia and anguish inn americ. i was aa student in texas following around the library and felt guilty because i developed an admiration wouldn't be allowed to follow along these two wordsul but i was intereste, you need to share in your time into think a lot of us did that. people knew the people i write my books forr and thank you for being interested. >> perry, st. louis, good afternoon. >> are you still there? >> we are listening, go ahead. >> are you still there? >> we will come back in a second look at some straightened out. we will come back in a second. one thing we always do here and it is only a reason to trilogy on the day of battle. why have you picked this up? return late, i spent maybe three years feeling scared there are so many moving parts, so many people to include in theso story and i'm always afraid when i start writing the book, i think i'll never be able to do it then i realized there are great historiansea will and i like to look at their work and be comforted by the fact that it can be done. atkions one of the truly major hans of our time and i don't flatter myself but when i finished, i want to they could write about complex issues and moving parts and not only make it as shady turning the page and it's such wonderful writing so just to feel good about the possibilitiesju and history. >> the 30 anniversary of the incident in april 1993 your book just came out. this is the most contemporary history ever written. >> why did you choose to write about this? >> there were supreme court decisions, five to four votes during thehe pandemic to mega- churches, one in los angeles in one who put a limit of 75 people because of the pandemic but it wouldn't be safe. they violated their freedom of religion want to get in the same room and the supreme court found that before and the. reaction was to throw up their aunts and say oh no. any religious group that wants to say this is what, there is legal precedents. like to know more about this. where in american history have we have conflict between people believes that religious beliefs in the long it seems like a possibility. i read the different books office and there were some that were quite good but i also felt there were things no mention of the you would be involved. gewill click sprouted full-grow, where did they come from? how and whyro did they get ther? about it's a story worth earning and telling you have to believe that if you screwed two or three years of your life lookingwo congress 247 researching and writing a book, not me. one child religious belief was attacked. saying religious

opportunity for the catholic church for the catholic church and for the orthodox step orthodox church actually to step forward adhere forward and say we still adhere to the faith. follow the truth, the the way he is, the truth, the way the life. and that is way in the life. and that is a good thing. if the christian churches come together and churches can come together and do church of do that whilst the church of england that's a good england dies, that's a good thing thing for the country. i think refind our faith think we will refind our faith as a christian country. we will remain a christian country. >> you think there >> rebecca do you think there would any problem would be any problem with britain, becoming britain, say, becoming a majority britain, say, becoming a ma_i rity britain, say, becoming a ma_i don't don't want >> i don't want i don't want britain to be a majority, any religion country. i don't want britain to be governed by religion. very religion. i think that's very dangerous that dangerous because it means that any we pick, any any religion we pick, there'll be a good number of people who feel really upset about think it's about it. and i

faith of my youth. i gained some notoriety around my group. i was probably typical 18-year-old young man, probably full of myself. i have been raised in a church home. my family was, church on sunday, grace before dinner. i lost interest in it. when i went off to college, i started to meet young men that seem to have an ease in their life that i did not have. it called themselves, simply christians. they invited me to come to a fellowship group on campus at the little chapel. i visited once. as i read in the book, in there were a fair number of pretty, young ladies that came to that thing. but in that time, i began to have conversations with my friends, particularly john, whom now is a pastor at a large presbyterian church. we would have late-night conversations like fraternity brothers will have, talking about god. at one point, i noticed that john wore a gold cross around his neck. i asked him or he got it. he said it was from a catalog, back in the day when you could pick up the phone and order things. over the phone. [laughter] i said to him, i just decided i was associating with these christian people. i thought i was going to be christian, too. i said to john, reme
