mr. morales. i had to come back and anchor myself to the reason why i did the job. your job is to decide the case based on the facts and the law, not to stick your finger in the wind and figure out what the public wants, not to go off in directions that don't have anything to do with the case before you. i will finish by saying, a couple years later, somebody, a group of people who don't like the death penalty wanted to honor me for making this decision. and i said, i wish you wouldn't do that. because i didn't make my decision because of any feeling i have about the death penalty. it was a decision i made because i am a judge who is trying his best to follow the law. that was and still is the hardest case. >> justice, you were the sole dissenter in the prop eight case where the court upheld the anti-gay marriage proposition. you made that decision at a time when you were being considered for the supreme court by president obama come which made the decision especially courageous. describe whether that played any role in your decision and how you dealt with what you

you're editorial questions the spirit integrity of christians witnesses who have serious civic moral --. mr. trump spun up major falsehoods when he mocked the use of windmills claiming they contribute to climate change and almost none are produced in the u.s. wrong on both counts. as wind is one of the cleanest sources of energy and creates american jobs. >> i never understood wind. i know windmills very much. i've studied it better than anybody. i know it is very expensive. they're made in china and germany, mostly. very few made here. almost none. but they are manufactured tremendous, if you're into this, tremendous fumes, gases are are spewing into the atmosphere. >> reporter: now just in the last hour the white house announced a new role for one of the top aids robert blair, a senior adviser to acting chief of staff mick mulvaney, blair is one of the witnesses, the four witnesses requested to testify by senate minority leader chuck schumer and said they will work for the administration in addition to advising mulvaney but this is very interesting, anything that happens, good or bad, tha

mr. morally. >> thank you so much mister chairman for hosting this hearing i thank the madam secretary for being here this, morning i do find interesting the conversation about tax payers rights and interests versus students who have made claims, and i suppose one way to save taxpayers dollars would be to deny all the. claims i'm not saying you should do. that but we should find balance because if we simply deny all the claims they would be lead and legal or morally defensive but certainly save taxpayer dollars. i want to just touch on a few things that i find interesting about the department rules one of them relates to the frivolous factors and i want to read one of the new rules that states institution that includes an isis storm on on campus can i guarantee that every student can sleep in that storm? how many students have submitted a borrowers defends claim that they didn't light know the dorm? room >> i don't have the number for, that but i do have a case file of one that submitted a claim that is claim barr defends for the fact that he or she did not like the professor. >> okay. as

mr. trump in spite of his blackened moral record we might say this, remember who you are and who you servenue to brush off mr. trump's immoral words and behavior and the cause and political exspeediancy. that editorial crash the magazine's website yesterday and now has people asking is this the start of something or just a one off? to help answer that question i'm joined by reverend jim wallace, author of the book christ in crisis, and ruth graham, wrote a piece titled trump is freaked out by christianity today's support for impeachment. i like your piece and you're a fantastic writer. what do you see as the significance of christianity today publishing this? >> i think this was a huge deal. i was stunned when i saw this appear online on thursday. and it's not so much that anyone who's reading christianity today would be surprised this is what the editors thought, but it was really surprising to see them put it so forthrightly and so clearly in print. i think one of the most important things about this is that it opens up space for the significant probably minority, but a significant share

mr. trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this.everse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? joining me to discuss, senior fellow at ethics public policy center. he worked in the reagan and bush administrations and author of the book "death of politics". peter, your reaction? >> i was thrilled with the editorial. i think it's a powerful one and timely one. i'm glad they did it. i'm not sure how many votes it will change, but christianity today is a flagship publication for evangelical christianity and carries a lot of weight, moral authority. billy graham was the founder. and it's important to speak truth, truth to power to live within the truth rather than live within a lie. and so i'm very glad that mark gallo wrote it. >> it clearly reads the white house, christianity today knows nothing about reading, a perfect transcript of a routine phone call and would rather have a radical left nonbeliever who wants to take your religion and your guns than donal

mr. trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this. who you are and whom you serve. consider what an unbelieving world will say if you continue to brush off his immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. to me you were saying this isn't just about president trump. this is about you. why do you think it was important to say that? >> well, because at a christian i would like to think of myself as giving my ultimate loyalty to jesus christ and the gospel he proclaimed. when christians of any stripe support a cause that strikes me as manifestly immoral, it does damage to the cause i've given my life to. so i think that's one part of the equation all christians need to think about more seriously and more deeply. >> he does have an enormous base of support among particularly the white evangelical community. do you really see that changing? >> oh, no. i don't have any imaginations t that my editorial will shift their views on the matter. "christianity today" is not read by evangelicals on the far right. so they're going

mr. trump in spite of his blackened moral record we might say this.ember who you are and whom you serve. putting it in religious terms. >> well, when there's a moral imperative, then it gives the entire conversation a new coloration. so you could see a situation where the other big evangelical organizations, and unfortunately the circulation of this magazine is not big, but 14 million members of the southern baptist convention, and i'm not suggesting they're trending in this direction. but journalists and other people in their community can use this editorial to ask them questions to say, you know, aren't we being hypocritical if we don't go along with what's laid out in this editorial? it is unjustifiable on their own terms for them to be supporting donald trump. it's morally indefensible in their terms and maybe a moral imperative can start to take hold. these things can move very quickly. not saying this is going to change the evangelical world or there's going to be a schism, but this crack could get bigger as next year wears on. >> and just gener

instead of simply indicting evangelicals for their inconsistent moral weathervane, democrats may consider to host: in 1982, we insisted that mr. clinton's behavior was not relevant to his potential as a president. sure, we considered his marriage and fidelity, but the important thing was his vision for the future. guest: i think he's right. days, our magazine spoke out against bill clinton's immoral behavior. we said, your character does count. moral character is important. is in those days evangelicals, 70% said character counts. behavior, clinton's was relevant. for 30%, it didn't count. that has now been totally switch. now evangelicals about trump, about 70% say it is a matter. only 30% say it does. this is a fundamental moral switch among evangelicals. of the few publications, faith-based that spoke out against bill clinton's behavior. and the liberal left said, we should in fact move on, and that is how moveon was formed. we should move on. i said, no. these are moral, character issues that have to be addressed. consistent? clinton's out against moral character and now donald trump's moral character, so consistency is w

tens of millions of believers who take seriously their civic and moral obligationsme obligations, and at the conference over the weekend, mr. trump also spun up some major falsehoods when he mocked the use of windmills claiming they contribute to climate change and that almost none are produced in the u.s. wrong on both counts. as wind is one of the cleanest sources of energy and creates american jobs. >> i never understood when -- and i know windmills very much. i've studied it better than anybody. it is very expensive. they're made in china and germany, very few made here. almost none. but they're manufactured tremendous, if you're into this, tremendous fumes, gases are spewing into the atmosphere. >> reporter: and the white house is praising saudi arabia's decision to sentence five people to death in the killing jamal khashoggi. a senior administration official saying it was an important step in holding khashoggi's responsibility and they are accusing them of covering up the death, whether the crown prince was behind the murder. and brianna, here we are, we still don't have the details as to what happened to jamal khash

because of what they have considered to be a lack of moral leadership, and also they accused the prime minister of not taking climate change seriously. mrn is committing about $8 million to the aerial firefighting effo rts million to the aerial firefighting efforts here in australia. has acknowledged a link between climate change and this continuing bushfire crisis. i would change and this continuing bushfire crisis. iwould imagine change and this continuing bushfire crisis. i would imagine when mr morrison gets home tomorrow he may well see some of the smoke when he flies in to sydney if this is in fa ct flies in to sydney if this is in fact where he lands, he will be expected to take a far firmer grip when it comes to leadership of a national crisis stopping conditions tomorrow when he gets back to australia are expected to be brutal once again, so i would imagine that we will see a lot more of mr morrison given the criticism he has encountered because of this family holiday to hawaii. democrats and republicans are locked in a stand—off about the next stage of president trump's impeachment. it has been delayed until early january, at

mr. trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this. member who you are and whom you serve. your justification of mr. trump influences your witness to your lord and savior. unbelievingt an world will say if you continue to brush off mr. trump's immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. if we don't reverse course now, will anyone take anything that we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? that's from christianity today. rob joining us next from maryland. good morning. caller: good morning, steve. how are you doing? host: good, how are you? caller: not bad. i am concerned about what is going on in our country, and i am sure most americans are too . a house divided against itself cannot stand, and we had a civil war where more americans were killed in that war then any war we have been involved in. tell a lie and keep repeating a lie, and people will believe it. the democratic government, what hitler's did, he kept lying to the german people while he dismantled democracy in that

mr. president, it will undermine morale and good order and discipline. the exact opposite has happened. were actually doing the heavy lifting and they say that's the commander in chief i want to go fight for. that's the kind of guy i want to be a second lieutenant or ensign for, which is what every single one of those soldiers and sailors were. stuart: you are still going strong so i've got another one for you. i know you are into football. drew brees, the all-time nfl record, i think most passes completed. >> yep. in nfl history. the guy, he threw 22 straight completions in the game i think it was. i was watching that live last night. everyone says tom brady is the greatest of all time. he's won a lot of championships but drew brees, talk about top-notch character. he's 41, he's no more accurate passer -- it's funny, he got the record, he's a humble guy. he went to the sidelines and started reading about the next possession and the plays. come on, man, just absorb the moment for a second. you are the most prolific touchdown passer in america's favorite game, and they are poised to make

mr. president, a new report by the partnership for public service finds plummeting morale at the united states department of agriculture driven by a huge decline in scores at the usda's economic research service and the national institute of food and agricultural. the trump administration did not like the reports that those researchers, that those agencies were publishing and punished them by suddenly moving their jobs halfway across the country and in the process losing hundreds of experienced, knowledgeable nerl -- federal employees in the area of agriculture. the vast majority of staff of those agencies lost their job when they decided not to move, and many of their jobs now remain unfilled. this is needlessly caused an upheaval delaying reports that those in the farm economy rely on. this administration's hostile atmosphere has been cited as contributing to a 61% increase in civil servants resigning during the first 18 months of this administration, including almost 1,600 leaving the e.p.a. nearly half of our most senior foreign service officers left the government during president trump's

mr. kennedy proposed to her by miller. another memo reports that marilyn asked the president a lot of socially significant questions concerning the moralitysting. if she is being used by the communist party, it's not general knowledge among those working with the movement. >> there is no indication anything else comes from that. there was nothing illegal about her lunch with peter lawford there will be was nothing criminal about her trip to mexico or her marriage to arthur. it's simply reporting of what has been brought to the bureau's attention. >> marilyn always saw herself-worth in the eyes of the men she could attract. there was almost something shakespearean about her last year. she was the beautiful queen going mad, looking to the king and his brother, the prince to prove she was still the queen. >> marilyn had more of a relationship with bobby kennedy than she ever had with jfk. >> she looked at him as a savior of that period. >> in the decades that followed rumors would swirl around marilyn and bobby's relationship. it is confirmed the two met up in several locations. >> i met him once at the house. and marilyn invited him to come

mr. trump inspied of his blackened moral record, we might say this, remember who you are and who you serve if we don't reverse course now will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? and then he continues to write, the answer is no. the evangelicals can't have it both ways. they can't claim to be a clarion voice of christian values in public square while at same time behaving in politics like amoral. they argue that we are all imperfect, we are all sinners in any way just look at all the antiabortion judges trump has appoint. but come on, can a christian movement completely ignore morality? can it pretend not to know the difference between a leader who strives to be good and one who doesn't? tell me, where in the bible does it is say anything goes? >> and trump has made kurds scarce, but there are till brave leaders out there. evangelical leaders have turned a blind eye to his obsession. it has led to a blasphemous reduction of christianity to judge ships and allowed figures such as franklin graham and jerry to shrug off their i

mr. trump, in spite of his black and moral record, we might say this -- remember who you are and who we serveconsider how your justification of mr. trump influences your witness to your lord and savior. consider what an unbelievable world will say if you continue to brush mr. trump's immoral worlds and behavior in the cause of political expediency. if we don't reverse course now will anyone take anything we say inut justice an seriousness for decades to come?" caller: i absolutely support that. i have a blog called "the power of no" that i wrote right after broke,le metoo issue and the access hollywood tape. just how deeply it concerned me that women who had been abused would think that the church did not stand alongside of them in a time of crisis like that. and yes, that needs to be our biggest concern. we need to continue to stand for what is right, for life, and for things that are consistent with the word of god, but we need to let the world know that we are endorses inhat name-calling and corruption and lies. we pray for the president in my house. and we would encourage him now -- it do

mr. speaker and i want to thank chairman nadler and speaker pelosi for their leadership and moral courage. today the house of representatives is debating whether to take the rare step of voting to impeach a president for only a third time in our country's history. unfortunately, president trump has left us no choice. the fact of the matter is that the president abused the power of his office and invited a foreign country to interfere in our elections. in so doing, he undermined the sanctity of the free and fair elections upon which our republic rests. making matters worse over the last several months, president trump and his administration have done everything they can to prevent congress from uncovering the truth. let us be clear. in our republic, no president has ever obstructed congress like this before. during the watergate investigation, as my colleagues well know, president nixon's chief of staff testify before cheapo congress. president trump's chief of staff refused. president trump's refused. white house aides close to president nixon testified. they may have aided and relevant k
