and one of the figures that i pay a lot of attention to his jerry falwell because jerry falwell is building on the rise in terms of popularity and losses from jesse helme is also working with him closely. he's mostly known for his television show and this is the height of televangelist on. he also decides to embark ripe between the same period of time in a serious offense that because i love america rallies and for the first time he'd been holding these families are throughout the country. during this period of time coming brings the i love america rallies to washington d.c. writes the steps of the capitol. let me just give you a description of an i love america rallies. i do this to give you a sense of what they're like, but also emphasize the review of positioning christianity are in some ways in complete and absolute has to jimmy carter. they're very, very different views of the meeting of christianity and a lot of this has to do with in some ways not necessarily theological debates, that's a fairly difficult arguments about the meanings of christianity. here is the i love america rally

nevertheless, i remember falwell said it was a judgment by god for the homosexuals. now, of course, he is in heaven. you probably think he is in hell, but he is in heaven. i believe he now understands that 9/11 was the sixth trumpet. jesus called it the abomination of desolation, and daniel did, too, that would happen in the so-called 1290 days peer the apostle john that wrote the book of revelation called it the sixth trumpet, and that would plate -- take place not in 1290 days, but in the so-called 12 63.5. in order for me to build my case, i would need an hour, and i do not have that, obviously, and you are not going to grant that to me. i mentioned -- i mean, you mentioned several times in this brief meeting how you want to support the lgbt, and i think about the kings and what they did and how they deported the homosexuals in israel, and joseph but still fell far short of the requirement of what the mosaic code said to do. god said that the kings were to write their own copy of the bible so they would strictly follow the orders given by the almighty. king josiah

i think that those descriptions falwell short of the mark.nt to call him a right wing nut job, yeah, evil incarnate? yeah, that, too. his politics belong in a different policy. >> paul: which means what? >> if you have an apocalyptic event and set off a small explosion and some tectonic plate and make huge shifts. and we've seen this sort of politics. >> paul: he's trying to foment major change with a single catalytic event? >> that's exactly. >> paul: what end does he seek? >> what he seeks is some kind of return to his notion of christiandom. it's interesting he speaks of himself as a knights templar very much like al-qaeda in a way. >> paul: that's a middle age reference. >> exactly the same reference that there are colassel forces he can bring into play leading to some kind of millennium outcome of peace and restoration, fantasy of europe. this was a pix that hitler was working and stalin was working on. >> paul: dorothy does he not suggest he's a kind of mirror image, except for christian and right wing, of muslim extremists or of left w

same or precedents i keep talking about this notion what the deal is and you know, false friends falwell of the sky. i met a lot of wonderful people in that time but i also met a lot of people who weren't, and i came from a background in which someone wanted to be friendly and i found myself sometimes in a world where it's what you are about in that moment as opposed to who you were. having said that i've always enjoyed meeting people who like my books and a sound traveling in europe being published over there in different parts of the world was very exhilarating, bud >>d think it retrospect i would have done things differently although i don't want to go into that now.

angelical movement was still in its infancy and there just wasn't that much outrage you know jerry falwell had a few years earlier been chastising martin luther king for getting involved in politics you know there was still a sense that it wasn't for the church to involvement to involve itself in kind of worldly matters now what really you don't ramble bulmer who is a both in evansville call and a historian of until cool movement at columbia university has argued and i think correctly that what really awoke that kind of sleeping out angelical giant you know basically you had a huge evan jellicoe resurgence in this country in the one nine hundred seventy s. and in some ways it was part of the same spiritual upsurge they gave us you know lots of different facets of the counterculture of the new age movement some of those searchers became what they called ben jesus freaks or jesus people. so there was this movement that was kind of a little bit amorphous most of them were political you know most of the newly awakened until cols got very excited about the jimmy carter campaign including includ

ten years in spending cuts -- erskine bowles told chuck todd on "the daily rundown" that that might falwell short of what's necessary here. this is what he said. >> the problem is, chuck, that so many people are talking about doing it with just about $2 trillion of deficit reduction. that's not a solution. that's not going to fool our creditors. >> in other words, the markets, our creditors are going to look at that and say that's not a fall back position, that's well short of what they should be doing. >> i think looking at the markets, they're saying two things. first, the united states cannot default. and that is the bare minimum. i say that, again, only because it has to be clear that there are some extreme views in some places that think that's something we can do. we can't. the second is, we need to get our fiscal house in order. i think we've said for some time now, as have most, that we need to do on the order of $4 trillion of deficit reduction over the next 10, 12 years. we would like to get that done now. if that can't happen, if there's not a willingness to come together, the pr

unfortunately, the right-wingers of today oppose it including the likes of ronald reagan, jerry falwell, and those types of people who have dragged their country down continuously. it is just ridiculous. betty ford was a great lady. in today's republican party she would be unwanted and that is disgusting. the republican party has gone to the store. the republican party acts like ignorant fools. host: republican line, go ahead. caller: how are you doing? thanks to that last guy for talking about republicans. i don't remember much about her but i was 10 years old. i remember the carter days. i feel like i have gone full cycle back to those days. with the unemployment rate in the arab world exploding, i feel like we have come full circle. i'm approaching 50-years old and late 40's and there are four or five rehabs that went through my younger days for drug and alcohol addiction. i was a drug addict and a methamphetamine addict all through the 1980's and 1990's and i just about died. it is great what she did but you can lock somebody in a closet for 30 days and make them sober. the only thi

for the president to have gone engaged last january when the treasury secretary and the president falwell know that we were headed toward this of this. the president, they will need to get together with speaker better and -- john boehner and harry reid and make that decision. i believe result will come and i wish they would take up the promises act and make sure that we pay off the interest on the debt. make no mistake. what will happen is there will be no reform. there will be no reform of spending. if there is anything we have to have in washington, it is a reform of spending. if this bill goes through today, that is a cut of approximately $22 billion in spending. we know the numbers. that one estimate says to put five days of spending, let's get serious. have going to have, if we european levels of spending that would require european levels of borrowing which would mandate european levels of taxation and will lead to european levels of stagnation in the economy and elevated unemployment levels. that is not the america i want to live in and that is not the america that most people i sp
