that's what first drew me to our weekly prayer breakfast in the capital, and that's with us national ng a meal together, tax collectors, members of congress, and centers at all. we're to heal our division, we need to spend some time together, get to know each other, stop judging each other and remember that despite our differences, many of us are motivated by love thy neighbor, and hopefully some love thy enemies as well. my father was born in italy and my grandfather used to give a speech at family weddings to give advice to new couple and he would ask -- what is this thing, marriage? marriage is like a long journey with a lot of ups and a lot of downs. but that's okay because in life, -- you can't have a rose without the thorns. you can't have the good things in life without the suffering as well. you would know what the good things are without the suffering as well. we all have thorns in our lives, things we see on television, things we read in the newspaper, things that are happening in our communities and neighborhoods of the things that happen in our families, people who are ill

he's bragging to people about talking badly about another person at the national prayer breakfast. and the idea that because nancy pelosi tried to impeach him that somehow he's justified in the way he behaved at the national prayer breakfast i strongly disagree with. bill clinton of course was at the national prayer breakfast after republicans tried to have him thrown out of office and he was contrite and spoke about how he had sinned and asked for forgi forgiveness. so, you don't have to behave the way that donald trump behaved. and, you know, i am a christian. i am somebody who takes my faith seriously. and the national prayer breakfast is supposed to be a place where people from both sides of the aisle can come together and it can be a non-political event and people of faith can sit there together. and what do we have? we have the president of the united states actually attacking the faith of nancy pelosi, claiming that she doesn't pray, making quite clear he doesn't understand the catholic faith. he doesn't understand in the catholic faith every week at mass you pray for your le

the president's political statements this morning among the people who were there at the national prayer breakfast? >> well, chris, you know, the challenge for the prayer breakfast has always been to avoid turning it into a political rally. when president obama spoke, when president clinton spoke, when president bush spoke, they managed to speak to the things that bring us together and to our common concerns. that wasn't the case this morning. it was more of a political rally, much like the presentation you just described in the east room. and to me, that was a disappointment. as i make clear in the editorial you just referenced that i wrote that's in "the washington post" this morning, i disagree with president trump. i oppose him on some of his policies. but that doesn't mean as a matter of faith that i can't pray for him and hope for him and his family, that they will find peace and that they will know a faith that challenges them to rise above some of the current positions that he holds and the actions that he's taken. that's really what pray for your enemies means, is to humble yourself, open

discussion came up earlier this week as president trump attended the national prayer breakfast. re is a recap from the new york times from what president trump had to say. president trump, a day after being acquitted in the senate impeachment trial, used a national prayer breakfast on thursday to lash out at political opponents, accusing them of being dishonest and corrupt and trying to destroy him in the country, rejecting the message of tolerance offered at the national prayer breakfast moments before he took the lectern, mr. trump, without naming them, singled out nancy pelosi and senator mitt romney, the republican from utah who voted to can -- convict him. knows, my everyone family, our great country and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people, this trump said. we have video from the national prayer breakfast. here's what mr. trump said after that. [video clip] knows, myybody family, our great country and your president have been put byough a terrible ordeal some very dishonest and corrupt people. they have done everyt

room about 4,000 religious leaders and political leaders come to this annual event, the national prayer breakfast. every president since dwight eisenhower has attended and spoken at the national prayer breakfast. and we'll be watching for when president trump takes his comments. >>> later this morning, president trump will address the nation after his acquittal in the u.s. senate on two charges of impeachment. >> the senate sitting as a court of impeachment stands adjourned. . >> and with that bang of the gavel, supreme court chief justice john roberts concluded the third impeachment trial in american history. senate leaders talked about the final outcome. >> right now this is a political loser for them. every one of our people in tough races, every one of them is in better shape today than they were before the impeachment trial started. >> this idea that the election should decide if the founding fathers thought elections should dead, they wouldn't have put impeachment in the institution. constitution. >> now the final vote resolved and it split along the party lines. there was one exception. re

she was also asked about her remarks at the national prayer breakfast.

prayer breakfast. you've got the nation's leader raising their voices in prayer as the president is raising his arms in, quite literally. look at this. using national prayer breakfast to take veiled digs at the speaker who was sitting down the dais for him as well as mitt romney. the bible may not mention impeachment but the president sure did. >> my family, the great country and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people. >> consider that a preview of what you will see in less than two hours at the white house for the noon address to the nation. wait until you hear what our sources will tell us about who will be there. spoiler, not nancy pelosi. she'll be on the hill where we'll see her taking questions live this hour for the first time since the impeachment vote and what's

which started at the national prayer breakfast.nd thought leader arthur brooks spoke right before the president about the teachings of jesus christ to love your enemies. a message the president says he doesn't agree with. >> ask god to give you the strength to do this hard thing. to go against your human nature. to follow jesus' teaching. you believe jesus' teaching. act like it. me too. to love your enemies. ask god to take political contempt from your heart and sometimes when it's just too hard, ask god to help you fake it. >> arthur, i don't know if i agree with you. but i don't know if arthur's going to like what i'm going to say. i don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. f nor do i like people who say i pray for you when they know that that's not so. >> we did a prayer breakfast this morning. and i thought that was really good. i had nancy pelosi sitting four seats away and i'm saying things that a lot of people wouldn't have said but i meant every -- i meant every word. they'r

he is especially egregious for doing it in a national setting, in a prayer breakfast. love your enemies, but this is part of the national conversation most people aren't aware of that's pretty disturbing to me. >> that turned out to be the starting point for the president. later on, he would double down on attacking romney and this is just within the same day. listen. >> then you have some that used religion as a crutch. they never used it before. an article written today never heard him use it before. but today, you know, it's one of those things. a failed presidential candidate so things can happen when you fail so badly running for president. >> so, jack, pick up on your point. >> what i was saying is people who were in the room at the national prayer breakfast, reports are this did not play particularly well, these kinds of attacks and there are some more moderate evangelicals as well as mormons who have been critical of trump and that's who romney spoke for that don't respond well to these critiques. there's very small margins the president is looking at in 2020 an

thoughts quickly about one of the more important points of national political life, the national prayer breakfast, usually a reflective moment for politicians who attended for the country. you got to wonder yesterday what republicans were thinking about how the president conducted himself at the national prayer breakfast. have you gotten any sense of the sentiment following the president attacking his political foes and more importantly their faith. >> well, i talked to gop aide yesterday who said, you know, what did you expect. this is president trump. of course the day after his acquittal in the senate he was going to take aim at his critics, including house speaker nancy pelosi and mitt romney, the only republican who voted to convict him on the abuse of power charge. it doesn't mean that it wasn't disturbing nonetheless. i mean, there are a number of people who attend this breakfast every year, diplomats heads of state, people from all different faith backgrounds who come looking for a moment that will celebrate bipartisanship. it will celebrate unity, and you didn't hear any of those themes

the annual national prayer breakfast. that's a bipartisan

and he used the national prayer breakfast to attack mitt romney who is probably the most religious man in washington. donald trump who has said he's never prayed for forgiveness for anything used the national prayer breakfast to attack nancy pelosi for praying. most of you probably already know that because that has been well reported today. what has not been as well reported is what donald trump listened to right before he got up to speak. harvard professor arthur brooks was the speaker before donald trump, and his theme was how to communicate with people who you disagree with politically. >> if you want to persuade them, which you should, you can only do it one way and that's with love. it was not an applause line. thank you. finally. the applause i've been waiting so long for. >> like most people in that room arthur brooks is a conservative, a political conservative. and he was talking about the concept of christian love, which is why he expected to get applause for that line. but he didn't because everyone there was probably very nervous about how uncomfortable that line made donal

steve: fox news alert, you look at the national prayer breakfast, kevin mccarthy, minority leader forael, when the president came in, he could have made detour and shaken hands with nancy pelosi, he chose not to this morning. >> yeah, could have, should have, would have, i think that's not surprising, it's actually quite comforting, though, to see them at an event like this, i mean, given -- i think this is a serious moment in our history where you have such a cold war, hot war between the president and the speaker. i don't ever recall it ever being so personal the way this is and the fact that they have not spoken since october, how does this government function? how can we continue this way? we can't, maybe the prayer breakfast will -- will -- steve stove bring them together? >> already got them in the same room and nobody is tearing anything just yet. that was pretty dramatic and not surprised. look, this is a very big event and he won and she lost. this is no two ways to look at it and she can deny it that it's not a real pa -- acquittal, it's a real acquittal. she put that no mot

at the national prayer breakfast. the president has just gone up and we'll listen in. >> what everyone knows was right. i don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. nor do i like people who say i pray for you when they know that that's not so. so many people have been hurt. we can't let that go on. the i'll be discussing that a little bit later at the white house. we're joined today by two people whose faith inspires us all. our amazing, wonderful friend, vice president mike pence, and his wonderful wife, karen. >> thank you. thank you to all of our great -- >> of course president trump will be addressing impeachment at 9:00 this morning. >>> happening today, the city of fremont will put boulders on a road that boarders a tesla manufacturing plant in an effort to keep people from parking rvs there. cato road parallels interstate 880 and runs in front of the plant. the city says homeless people have taken up residence inside rvs parked on the shoulder. so later today city

first a at the national prayer breakfast where he seemed to question the faith of nancy pelosi and senator mitt romney and showed off the acquitted headline on the front page of "usa today." and again this afternoon, showing a similar headline on "the washington post" in the east room of the white house where the president delivered a 63-minute angry and rambling speech. a stream of conscious in front of a crowd. calling democrats vicious and horrible people accusing romney of using his faith as a crutch to explain his guilty vote. the president railed against what he called dirty cops and leakers and liars. he claimed the witch hunt sta started from the time he ae announced his campaign. it was to say the least, not exactly an effort to heal the wounds of impeachment or to bring the nation together it was an airing of grievances and s settling of scores. a preview of the even less shackled and tethered trump. we will see in the next nine months to five years. >> we first went through russia, russia, russia. it was all bull. we thought after the election would stop, but it didn't stop. it

begin with where the day started and your account of what it was like in the room at the national prayer breakfast. >> yeah, you know, brian, you and i have covered these prayer breakfasts going back a long time. they've been going on in washington i think since 1953. and they're traditionally a pretty sedate affair. they're meant to be bipartisan. usually you hear talk of common ground and faith and issues that might be somewhat provocative or usually along the lines of religious questions. you don't normally hear partisan attacks. you don't normally hear attacks of people who are literally sitting 10 feet away. it's pretty striking to have him do that. even more so in some ways than his later rambling monologue at the east room. that was almost predictable. but the prayer breakfast is usually immune from that kind of rhetoric and conversation. but the president felt very strongly obviously. he was in a mood. he wanted to express his feelings. now, for him to question the faith of mitt romney and nancy pelosi, both of whom are seen as very religious people, i think was a particularly strong shot,

the president outdid that in the first two minutes that he showed up at the national prayer breakfast. >> one of the things i like about nancy pelosi is she hasn't apologized. >> i want to play this clip of pelosi today talking about her approach to the president. take a listen. >> so again, i extend the hand of friendship to him, to welcome him as the president of the united states, to the people of the house. it was also an act of kindness, because he looked to me like he was a little sedated. he looked that way last year, too, and i started to think, there has to be something that clearly indicates to the american people that this is not the truth, and he has shredded the truth in his speech. he's shredding the constitution in his conduct. i shredded his state of his mind address. >> there is, i don't know about the specifics of the state of the union and the response but it is clear that, like, pelosi -- pelosi's perspective on him is she sort of has his number psychologically, how to make him fixate and in a state of confrontation is the only option. there's a lot of hedging and

." >> at the national prayer breakfast thikfast this morninge president held up a newspaper to highlight the acquittal. he said democrats targeted him from the moment he announced his candidacy in june 2015. >> it was evil. it was corrupt. it was dirty cops. it was leakers and liars. they should never, ever -- this should never, ever happen to another pt ever. i do not know other presidents would have been able take it. >> then he went after barack obama, james comey, hillary clinton, joe biden, and house democrats who impeached him in december. >> adam schiff is a vicious, horrible person. nancy pelosi is a horrible person. >> just two days after the speaker of the house stood behind the president and tore his state of the union speech in half, she said this about today's victory speech at the national prayer breakfast. >> tried to be gracious with him. i don't need any lessons from anybody, especially the president of united states about dignity. >> president trump east room speech has been compared to bill clinton's address to the nation when he apologized after being acquitted. ameri

prayer breakfast. you've got the nation's leader raising their voices in prayer as the president is raising his arms in victory, quite literally. look at this. using national prayer breakfast to take veiled digs at the speaker who was sitting down the dais for him as well as mitt romney. the bible may not mention impeachment but the president sure did. >> my family, the great country and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people. >> consider that a preview of what you will see in less than two hours at the white house for the noon address to the nation. wait until you hear what our sources will tell us about who will be there. spoiler, not nancy pelosi. she'll be on the hill where we'll see her taking questions live this hour for the first time since the impeachment vote and what's next for democrats. time to move on? maybe not. new signs of a fresh fight over bolton, the bidens and burisma. plus steve kornacki is back at the big board with a wild new number in iowa a different democrat making a move for the top spot on the trail to new hampshire.

president trump kicked off the morning at the national prayer breakfast, a bipartisan fwaerg th gatheringhat dates back five decades. after showing off papers where his acquittal was the top news story, president trump used his speech to put his own twist on this idea of bipartisanship blasting republican senator mitt romney and democratic house speaker nancy pelosi. >> i am profoundly religious. my faith is at the heart of who i am. i take an oath before god as enormously consequential. >> i don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. >> i don't hate anyone. i pray for the president all the time. >> nor do i like people who say i pray for you when they know that that's not so. >> with me now, cnn religion commentator father edward beck. father beck, i mean, we know that senator romney and speaker pelosi have been extraordinarily vocal when it comes to the role that their, you know, obviously very personal faith plays in their lives, and so these attacks multiple times today by the president of the united states are very personal. what did you

our nation's long march for civil rights was inspired sustained and uplifted by faith prayer and devotion of religious believers. actually hasn't any trump there addressing the national prayer breakfast where he seems to be sticking to score it is in quite a mellow mood he entered the meeting with a couple of newspapers one of which had the headline acquitted in that one and that was it so that's a president the day after his acquittal in the senate trial in his impeachment process will leave him there and move on to rebels in syria who've been supported by turkish artillery of push back government forces with a from a key town in province that is turkey's president warns that the syrian government miss not continue their offensive into the last rebel held region hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by the fighting sin and cos here lose our correspondent she is at one of the camps that has received so many of the people she says the conditions are absolutely dreadful. you can begin to build beginning from long after. your incredible intense. advance from the south to the north and this camp called. camp in. literally mind the role and look behind the internally displac

i do think it's very striking that this happened at the national prayer breakfast.rtainly a meeting of power brokers, but it's also supposed to be a bipartisan event. again, it just shows a profound misunderstanding on trump's part. >> people remember among the many episodes people have glossed over, during the 2016 presidential primaries, donald trump criticized ben carson's faith, questioned what it means to be a seventh day adventist. which, again, is crossing a line that no presidential candidate in modern history would ever cross. >> again, i think that trump will go after anything he can. and he knows that faith is powerful and he's certainly used it to his advantage by pandering to a certain group of christians who have really come on board at this point. >> so which brings us to the next logical question because we've established what he has done, is doing and is willing to do. why aren't we hearing a great outcry within the faith community? various faith communities that these types of statements are out of bounds? >> i think that there is -- first of all,
