joining us to discuss this is pastor robert jeffers, thank you for joining us.p of canterbury doesn't understand, he is baffled. can you explain? >> not that hard to understand why conservative christians support the president in great numbers. beyond donald trump's excellent leadership in reviving the economy, rebuilding the military, remaking of the judiciary donald trump has become the most pro-religious liberty pro-life president in us history. earlier this year i was privileged to meet with him in the rose garden when he signed that sweeping religious liberty executive order and at that time he said as long as i am president no american will ever have to choose between practicing his faith and obeying the law and on the pro-life front he has done what he said he would do, appointed a conservative justice to the supreme court, packing the courts with federal judges who will protect life as well. when the archbishop says he is baffled what is baffling to me is why a religious leader like the archbishop wouldn't support a pro-life pro-religious leader like don
