look at the mormon story. from the time of joseph smith's revelation back in new york, all the way across to missouri, they encountered many, many, many types of harassment from otherwise good citizens of the united states. and moving back to nauvoo, they established one of the greatest centers in all of illinois. but the harassment didn't end. in 1844, joseph smith was martyred at the carthage jail, and for two years thereafter, the mormons were harassed by citizens of hancock county. on the frozen night, february 4th, 1846, men, women, and children- mormons had had enough- and some walking on actual ice, some going on barges, moved across this river towards their eventual home in utah. without that connection between belief and behavior, the power of doctrine, mormons may not ever have survived, and we wouldn't have this major worldview today. i'm sitting at the latter day saints visitor center in nauvoo, illinois, sitting with elder garth andrus, and he's going to give us insight into the mormon religion an

appropriate for leading the way because in the mormons it's a new religion they're not tied so deeply deeply to these ancient liturgies that the rest of us are stuck with and they've already gone through this once before tremendous positive reception or a sold sign a lot of books that night and this is on two separate occasions. in utah and. the people started talking about the same things that i hear everywhere everybody remembers a place where they used to go and it wasn't there far from home where you could sort of get away you could you know be out in the woods you could you know you could hug trees you could chop trees if you wanted to cut firewood you know you could listen to birds or shoot birds if that's what you like to do but it's a place you could go get away and now it's gone it's buried under. or strip malls and nobody likes that in utah they were telling me that now from provo. down the odd that this is a continuous strip city for more than one hundred miles and the smog is bad and of course they're in the colorado river basin their water is getting scarce and they're re

a lot of people who look at the mormons in this in they find it really weird but look at the genesis i mean that's how all of us started here judeo christian world. all the patriarchs were polygamists they had numerous numerous wives and two it was very interesting you get to joseph and joseph is. i think of him possibly as the first ecologist he must have been extremely observant because he realized that we were entering a time of scarcity and he held himself to one wife they only had two children with sons and ultimately console the pharaoh of egypt that in order to get through lean times we have to conserve. to tell me who i interviewed in tel aviv said that. the interpretation is that in times of famine you refrain from having children until. times are generous again interest in fact one of the i thought one of the more interesting stories in the book was when you went to salt lake city and sat down with a group and. let me reframe this for well. it was. because they're still in the big families yeah but you know i had some concerns because i knew that i was going to be talking a

jews tend to take relatively short time to get there, and mormons, i think, part of that was in that there were not a lot of them there exiered to the other religious groups, and there were a couple cases where you had a democratic president nominate a democrat mormon, and with republican senate, and they really had others support them. >> does the data suggest they are political responsive, american volters demanding the battles happen, or is this springing from the mind of the individual senator, judicial or governed philosophies? >> right. there's a loath of other research, and i think politicians represent their case. if you're a lawyer, i mentioned why you object to certain people on the jury. you wouldn't have a talk radio show host on the jury pool; right? he's per persuasive. that's the job, smart compared # to the average juror there, so i wouldn't say you're irrational to oppose it, but you are opposing counsel who thinks thatted radio talk show host is on his side politically in this case wants him on. there's nothing rationally rational with the positions there. there's n

greenpeace protest have now been charged with piracy by a quarter in russia's north western port city of mormons at a total of says he was arrested after attempting to scale a normal reagan the last month in protest over offshore drilling in the region greenpeace beating the decision insisting that there was no bonnets involved but authorities say they posed a serious threat to the security of the platform campaigners could now face up to fifteen games in prison and dad and my colleague bill don't spoke to patrick moore he's a former greenpeace leader and i'm he believes they should have found a better way to convey that message that. you can't expect to have people allow you to continue to storm their oil rigs oil rigs are a very serious operation with really big safety issues and you start scaling the rig and then people have to come and try to get you off it puts them in danger and so i can certainly understand why they were apprehended and finally towed away from the site the other thing that's quite ironic is greenpeace is using a diesel powered ship to. occupy a loyal rig and so they would

he was -- seemed to paraphrase some mormon theology there in setting out this idea of the case to thenow, everyone i've spoken to, because i'm extremely interested in the mormon religion. everyone i've spoken to here, be it the taxi driver, the guy at the front desk of the hotel, the screener in the courthouse, everybody is mormon here. and i think that he was really focusing to his jury. that means he's a good lawyer. you know who your jury is, and you speak to them. and i think he did speak to them. and i just want to mention one more thing that i caught in the 911, and i haven't heard anybody point it out yet. he says -- he's a doctor. he says, "my wife is under the water, she's in the water! i'm doing cpr." you can't do cpr in a deep-dish bathtub while you're on the outside. he also pretended and told people he had cancer and ms. and he was too frail to lift her out. turns out, those cancer treatments were actually him going to tucson to meet up and sleep with his girlfriend. there was no cancer. >> nancy grace, this is really -- this is really some storyline. this is going to be

that have so many different ideas attached to it whether it's christianity or islam or judaism or mormonism what what it means to me the just the idea if you are a race all religion race all ideologies what is there oh path that people can live that is the most harmonious with nature and with each other is there a path is there a path of of love and of understanding and friendship and kindness in is there a way to reach that like universally as a group. as a race as the human race that path would be the path of god you know if the idea of god being a guy in the clouds is one dude runs over everything is patriarchal figure that's most likely nonsense but what i've seen taken psychedelic drugs is so crazy that it's way crazier than the idea of a guy in the clouds with a harp the guy in the clouds or the harp is nothing compared to what you'd see on a heavy mushroom trip i think that we all know that there is a really a beneficial and a beautiful way to live life and we all know that there is an absolutely evil way to live life and it almost entirely depends on how your actions and reactions a
