and when you have an elective king, you can -- people can always elect another king.t was his fear. >> so what we see saul doing is acting out of paranoia, acting out of jealousy, and acting out of fear. >> saul becomes so jealous of david that he tries to have him put to death. he tries to kill him. >> david manages to escape saul's attacks. but is forced to spend the next two years in exile. >> with david's absence, the war between israel and the philistines ramped back up, again. we'd see saul losing and losing and, finally, saul mounts, you know, one more, desperate battle against the philistines. and it goes so badly, that saul's men are driven back. all three of his sons are killed in front of him. and he sees the philistines coming. he knows that this is it. this is the end. and so, he turns to his armor bearer and he bigs to be killed by one of his own. >> and so, the armor bearer does just that. and then, runs back and tells david that saul has died. instead of celebrating that saul was dead because saul had been trying to kill him for so long, david publicly

god was a king and god put kings in power. that the king is the revenger of god. the king does the work of god. going back specifically one more part of that text. i want to say that -- i want to use this as free -- it talks about freedom and liberty because one of the things that the loyalists were arguing was that patriots were using this terminology of liberty in the wrong way. and this specifically says as free and not using your liberty as a cloak of malissuesness. not taking your liberty too far. not misunderstanding your liberty. that almost seems tailor-made for the loyalists, tailor-made for that argument. so let's read these texts from the apostles and consider the political situation. the political situation was, they were under the control of the roman empire and being under control of the roman empire, they had to deal with jews, they had to deal with their own churches, and they had to deal with the fact that roman empire controlled everything. and, as was typical in many cases, a lot of people ended up blaming the jews. there was a lot of anti-jew r

if god was the king, god put kings in power. the king is the revenge of god, the king does the work of god. going back specifically one more part of that text, i want to say it talks about freedom and liberty because one of the things that the loyalists were arguing was that patriots are using the terminology of liberty and the wrong way, this specifically says as free and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness. not using you -- taking your liberty too far, not misunderstanding your liberty. that seems tailor made for the loyalist, tailor made for the argument. the loyalist argument is this, let's read the text from the apostles, and let's consider the political situation. the political situation was they were under the control of the roman empire, and being control under the roman empire, they had to deal with jews, they had to deal with their own churches, and they had to deal with the fact that the roman empire controlled everything. and was typical in many cases, a lot of people blamed the jews. there is a lot o

god put kings in power. the king is the revenger of god. the king does the work of god. and point back specifically one for part of that text, i want to say that -- i want to use this as free, you know, it talks about freedom and liberty. because one thing that the loyalists were arguing was that patriots are using this terminology of liberty in the wrong way. and this specifically says, as free and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness. you know, not taking your lib too far. not misnurse understanding your liberty. that seems taylor made for loyalists. tailor made for that argument. so the loyalists argument is this. let's read the texts on the apostles. let's consider the political situation. the political situation was they were under the control of the roman empire. and as -- being under the control of the roman empire, they had to deal with jews. they had to deal with their own churches. and they had to deal with the fact that roman empire controlled everything. a lot of people tended to blame the jews. there is a lot of anti-ewish rhetoric. the proble

the third, andriy a king, and my niece, yolanda king. them a big hand. [applause] let me say a couple of things, and then we are going to bring out some closing speakers. first and foremost, 21 years ago, martin luther king the third was president of sclc. and i was in my eighth year heading the national action network. we came to washington with his mother, the wife, widow, copilot of the movement with dr. king. and she would not speak that day. she introduced he and i. and every year, we have found our way back in washington to stand on this state of the dream. we were here last year with george floyd. and had hundreds of thousands. we were not going to do anything this year. but andrea said we need to do something around voting. and we began organizing. we decided not to go to lincoln memorial. but to go where you could see over our heads, the capitol building of the united states. the reason you needed to see that building is because in that building, the senators will decide whether to continue the segregationist legislative strateg

the king of jerusalem was captured. >> saladin has king guy brought before him. king guy, of course, is certainly that he's going to be killed. but saladin doesn't do that. >> saladin has the true cross. he says that to him, it's a worthless piece of wood. but he's well aware it's something that the christians really want back. >> so i don't think you can equate it with any loss of money because it surpasses any money you can imagine. >> so it's vital to have it as a good bargaining tool. and it will be used in negotiations between muslims and crusaders for decades to come. >> but saladin decides to free guy of lusignan, perhaps signaling to the crusaders that he's magnanimous and he's someone the crusaders can trust and negotiate with. >> once saladin has crushed the crusaders at the battle of ha teen, the way to jerusalem is open. >> saladin waited a few days before he moved into the city because he wanted the symbolism of a specific day, that is the 2nd of october, 1187. it happened to be the anniversary of the prophet muhammad's night journey into jerusalem.

king guy became a footnote.he was because it did not matter. >> both king richard and solodyn believed that jerusalem is a place for faith. >> the crusades are often remembered with the bravery of all the nights but it was the least romantic event of those time times. how do you sell an ugly war? you have to tell stories of how noble it is. you tell people the city were jesus being raised by the dead. >> the people in the west, the son of satan. >> that drove of the heart of every christian. hey, i may not understand economics and i may not understand politics but you start messing with jesus and now i am going to go fight. >> the third crusade was carried out mostly by men who had grown up on stories of the first crusade. they grown up on stories of daring and commitment to the cause and service to god, service that was heroic and larger than life. also, if you went on one of these crusades, you can have an indulgence. that's something that forgives your sins on earth. for many it became an important piece of w

when we think of king and we think of king in a dream we can think of langston hughes. when we look at langston hughes and langston definitely being inspired by walt whitman so i would would love what this work to introduce you to your book, your new book you told how whitman's reputation has waxed and waned and i was wondering whether now when we come to the black lives matter movements we come to it at january 6, should we look at hiwhitman to restore our beliefor should we look at him differently ? >> it's a fascinating question. part of the reason why is reputation waxed and waned is because he is someone who we have traditionally invested so much of our own interpretation in. so certainly his record in supporting people of color is really hardly met. yet he is an icon for lgbt q plus people. how much we read him as a whole mixed picture as opposed to picking out different parts, you know, changes depending on where we are at politically as well. so i think you have to understand about these things in terms of the context of their time. i tried where i could to give

when we think of king, we think of king, in the dream. then we look at abuse. [inaudible]. so you're an expert on this. [inaudible]. in a book he told about how women's has waxed and waned targeted and whether now, comes to the black lives matter movement. and we look at whitman to restore belief in america or should we look at other things. >> that is a fascinating question prayed that is part of the reason why is because he is someone who have traditionally invested so much of our own interpretation and. so certainly his record in supporting people of color is really horribly matched permit. yet he is an icon for lgbtq plus people. and how much we read sort of him as a whole mixed picture as opposed to picking up different parts. and changes depending on where we are at. i think you have to understand in terms of the context of the time. maybe i couldn't give as much context. and i think you also have to recognize that we are imperfect human beings and try and take what we can learn from the poetic and set aside those things that are not useful at that. so i think that wo

we think of king we think of king and the dream. we looked at langston and i know you are an expert, in addition to your new book you told how whitman's reputation is waxed and waned. come to its happening january 6 should we look at women to restore belief in america or should we look at it different? >> that is a fascinating question. part of the reason why his reputation waxed and waned is because he is someone who wee have traditionally invested so much of her own interpretation in. certainly his record in supporting people of color is really mixed. yet he is anor icon for lgbtq plus people. how much we read him as the hold mixed picture as opposed to picking out different parts, changes depending on where we are at politically as well. i think you also have to recognize we are in perfect human beings. from the poetic forebear i think whitman is a great example of that. and i did u he is one of whitman's poem that comes directly from him. part of the way i want to respond to this is a non- whitman answer. when you put together a

everybody has a claim. >> king david was there and king herod was there. arabs were there.more alive in your head and identity. jerusalem is still as always was the center of the world. jerusalem would always be the holy city, the house of one god. the capital of two people and the temple of three faces. >>> where did you get those? >> under the machine. do you want one? >> you come home, turn on that television. >> i don't want it. >> no, they're good. >> no, i don't want it. >> what do you want? >> cramer, stop it. >> and boom, there you go. >> a situation comedy. this 23-minute of magic. >> you fell in love with these

king abdullah was the first to lead an invasion.cra dramatic for the people living there, they did not have enough to drink or eat. >> there was a jewish community in the city that had to be evacuated. people went to transjordan. the fighting was considerable in jerusalem and the new israeli forces don't want the give it up. it is a prize. but, they surrendered and the whole city was given over to the army of the juordanians, the iconic synagogue and the old city was destroyed. the city was badly damaged during this period. >> while king abdullah's forces claimed the city -- >> the other arab army was approaching from all sides. >> israel didn't have an army. and you have hundreds of thousands of people who are still so -- you have to defend it the same time you are fighting. one of the critical developments during the first arabs/israeli war is you are going to merge with the idea of israeli defense forces and cooperated fully. >> ben gurion did not have any alternatives. the enemy of my enemy are my friends. it is gurion's favorit

when you think of king.and the expert of 19 the new book, you told about how whitman's reputation and weight in this weather now, when we cover the black lives matter movement and the january 6, surely look at women to restore our belief in america or should look at him differently. >> is a fascinating question of a part ofis the reason why his reputation waned is because he is someone who we have traditionally invested so much of our own interpretation in. certainly, his record in supporting people of color is really horribly met and yet he is an icon for lgbtq people and how much we read him as the whole mixed picture, as opposed to picking up different parts of you know, changing depending on where we are at as well. i think you have to understand it in terms of context of their time. and i tried were good to give as much context as possible. and then you also have to recognize that we are imperfect human beings. and try to take what we can, learn from these poetics forbearers and set aside those things t

martin luther king jr.'s daughter, bernice king. i think she was on stage in the last hour when we were talking with you. tell me what she was tellings you. >> that's right. she was on stage, alex, as i was talking to you in the last hour. i pulled her aside. she talked to some reporters and i asked about the connection with the fact it was her father 58 years ago was in washington, d.c. gathering people together for a social justice movement there. now she is kind of doing the same thing. listen to what she told me. >> it is really frustrating that we are at this place, but in spite of that i'm encouraged about the level of consciousness and coalition building that's happening around this nation. not just around voting rights, but issues of social justice in a way that i haven't seen it since my early adult life when we were dealing with apartheid. >> reporter: you know, i have been talking to a lot of people. they have been repeating that and reflecting that same sentiment here, but there's also a sense of realism here. that's the

king rather than on reverend king. but this was a man driven by his faith, strengthened by his faith. he endured death threats, bombings of his home, endangering his wife and children based on the strength of his faith. see, early in the campaign, the bus boycott in montgomery, king is terrified by the rising violence, and in the middle of the night he's sitting in his kitchen trying to figure out what do i do? and he has a revelation. he hears jesus speaking to him and telling him that he must have faith and that he must stand up for righteousness and that he must do what is right. and as he hears this, it becomes a mantra that he goes back to time and time again when he faces crisis in pursuing the civil rights movement, he's strengthened by the memory of that experience. in fact, david garrow who as far as i know was not a man of faith at all writes a powerful biography of king, which doesn't come from a religious perspective. i mean, it's completely secular, but the theme keeps coming back, even through the eyes of

when i was talking about england, i would want to use the word of king one of them when the king said a kid fight like you never bought before. because that is on the monitor. people who want to want you to stay and they want the republic, they will fight like it's never part of all. it's not only the new generation and only the people who would want to demolish the monarchy can bite other people can do also. so i don't think this is simple and i don't be this is bothering me and this is progress in this country. so don't talk in a good way. and when kimberly was saying about the fan, bio lions and link, there's a lot of key. yes, it might be a crown company, but does it have something to do with the outbreak of 19 and really is it something to know with the way in which administration has been that ministry the call with 900 situation so badly? what is the administration problem, or if you're going to problem, does it have anything to do with my team vaccine? if the company belongs to the crown? and if there is no actual background, i can prove no, actually evidence raising the issue

i saw, you know, terrible graph at the attacking the king. but partly that's because these younger people feel that there's no freedom to, you know, discussion about the role off the high monarchy in common, simple and straightforward manner. it's not really possible, unfortunately. so this is one of the area where they want to see it change. and of course the last and majestic as one of them. and people like i know whom you site that you know, some of the protest leader. i think that if there is no room for reform off the monitoring institutions, more and more people among the younger generation will be attracted by the idea of a one thing to try and highlight into a republic. so i expect even take, you know, are we going to deal with the institution yield itself and reform itself to a point where more people would be satisfied or will it continue to stifle critical debate and costs, including definitely already remarked as well. so this is an area that has to be address. however, the elite has always been very dependent on the prowl. whenev

king james bible. we know where that bible is located. and we also know that they also brought another bible which is known as the geneva bible. what's really powerful about this exhibit is this geneva bible actually belonged to william bradford, who was the second lieutenant governor of plymouth, but this bible is kind of interesting in its very controversial because of what it is. in 1560 the first edition of this text english puritans fled from england to geneva. while they were there because they were under protestant persecution, they produced what is known as the geneva bible because it was translated there. this is the very first english bible that would use the hebrew and the greek in its translation. it's also the first english bible to contain what is known as the typeset that we are familiar with in the newspaper as well today. before you had this medieval gothic text. and now you have the more friendly, easier text to look upon. it's also the first bible with study notes. and the study notes is what makes this bible so controv

so this is from the king's -- you should look at this site, the king global site. as a controversial leader of the national baptist convention, he wasn't controversial, he was elected over and over again even if he had to do it kind of semi fraudulently. he's like a political leader, right? jackson often clashed with other baptist ministers including martin luther king jr. who believed jackson's opposition to the use of civil disobedience to achieve civil rights was too conservative. so you have to persuade your people at the convention who should be in. so jackson was not an uneducated man. very sophisticated. born in mississippi, went to jackson college, which is now jackson state university, then went to colgate rochester divinity school up in rochester, new york where frederick douglass is buried. then he came out here to the midwest, went to an interesting place to get an m.a. at a jesuit school, creighton university up north from us in omaha. he was ordained as a baptist minister and so forth. he resisted the civil rights impetus by keying in others because h

and martin luther king's son, martin luther king iii was here leading a march to remind people that blacksonal right to vote. it was the state laws that appeared neutral but were actually restrictive to get black voters to count jelly beans or pay a penalty. that's why he says the voting rights must include the john lewis voting rights act to restore some of those provisions. one person we didn't see, reverend jesse jackson. he is recovering, battling covid with his wife. i've been in touch with family members and they say both are responding to the treatments here, but it was a moment of silence and prayers from activists who wished them well. >> we wish the best to reverend jackson to his family and hope he pulls through. suzanne, thanks for that excellent report. let me bring in the number three democrat in the house, democrat jim clyburn. thanks for being with us. today's marches show the sense of urgency is not letting up on the democratic side but the gop side is fighting tooth and nail on this. texas is on the cusp of seeing these new voting restrictions enacted. why isn't that urge

maybe a king or where does this king come from? think about oliver cromwell or julie or later on, napoleon. this military sort of figure seizing power. and washington, this will not happen. so ultimately, this is going to appeal to them in washington, who also does a personal thing. he's got actually a letter he's going to read. and washington has been losing his eyesight. and most people don't know this, but he wore glasses. he doesn't want anyone to see them because they're not cool. also didn't want to show weakness. what he does is he pulls them out and he puts them on and he reminds what he's given, he's also given his sight and sort of the officers start crying and they embrace this as washington showing this sort of humility and this weakness, but basically, this appeal to their ideals and the revolution is preserved and the army comes out as champions of liberty. but the last act and probably the most important in american history, in my opinion, and certainly one of the last major acts of the continental army is this. anna
