the pilgrims in particular and people who come after them like roger williams tend to share the gospel with the native americans, but they do not do it at the point of the sword and second, whether it's in plymouth plantation or pennsylvania or virginia or elsewhere, most of these religious communities that are set up in the colonial era have a right of exit. so people come into the community. maybe they have to -- they may have to follow the covenant, the religious covenant of the community, but they can freely leave. no one forces them to stay there. they can go back to england. they could go someplace else and that is a pretty big principle in this era where it was considered a very little idea. the right to exit is a huge innovation that really is rooted in what these pilgrims did. >> thank you. now, both of you have written about religious pluralism and can you describe how the mayflower compact and creation of the civil body politic is informative on those interested in religious pluralism today. >> i can start on that. the pilgrims were separatists from the church of england, as

h roger williams grew up in louisiana on a sugar plantation. he wants to be a pharmacist. he goes to pharmacy school, comes to mobile and opens a pharmacy right here. 1896, he decided he wants to be a physician. he goes to a medical school in nashville, tennessee, becomes a doctor and he opens up the doctors office upstairs. doctor's office upstairs, drugstore downstairs. his home was over in the parking lot across the street. the white citizen council comes to him and they said -- well, i doubt they said "dr. williams." they told him he needed to put a sign up that said "colored" because this was in the jim crow days. being the smart and independent person he was, he found a picture of himself, blew it up the size of that poster, and put in the window. he's a brown skinned guy, and he said, "do you think they will know i'm colored? " he was very involved in the community, medical associations. this is right in the heart of the community. it was on the edge of the city during that time. remember, fort whiting was the city, which was about two miles from here. we were on th

roger williams came into office in 2013.d that part of fort hood for over 20 years. these are politicians tha hav whved in offe at a time ere fort hood had srocketing sexu assaults, suicides, even human trafficking incidents. and a mass shooting. really, the question is, where are the people that we the people elected to serve us who have turned a blind eye to criminality and corruption on one of the largest bases in the world that lands in their district? another person i have my eyes on is general mark milley. our current chairman of th joint iefs of aff was the base commander of fort hood in 2012-2014. again, at a te when fort hood was at an all-time high for sexual assaults and irease in suicides. there are several military and potical leaders who have failed us and have rlly done a disservice because vanessa guillÉn's dea and murder was preventable. she should be with us now. it was this kind of criminal negligence that allowed for abuse and the abuse of other soldiers. tweetedr sistermayra after was announced 14 people

a small bird is called sacham the englishman roger williams later observed because of it's prince-like courage and command over greater birds that a man shall often see the small bird pursue and vanquish and put to crow other birds far bigger than itself. the narragansetts would soon discover massasoit was a small bird. what he would do is rather than look at the pilgrims, who did not necessarily ingratiate themselves with the local population, massasoit would say, wait a minute, perhaps an alliance with this small group of english people could provide my people with a kind of parity relative to the narragansetts. remember squanto? well, squanto, when i learned about squanto, he was the generous interpreter who took the pilgrims by the hand and taught them how to plant corn. it turns out squanto had an agenda of his own from the very beginning. squanto was born here in plymouth harbor, and just a few years before the arrival of the pilgrims he was abducted by an english explorer, made his way back to europe and would essentially end up in london where he learned the english language. h

that was the original image roger williams talked about, protecting the garden of christ's church fromon of the two in this, as david was talking about, in this particular man and moment is remarkable. it's also unscriptchural, put not thy trust in princes. god shows no partiality. there is neither slave, nor jew, we are all one in christ jesus. the scriptchural -- it's that your loyalty as a believer is not to caesar but to a larger order, and that larger order has different rules and different aspirations articulated, as you just did in the sermon on the mount, and that's what a believer is called to do, is to follow a law that creates a certain conduct in space and time, but which is -- are just a law grounded beyond space and time. and what we're seeing now is this conflation of worldly power with the symbolism and language. but i would argue not really the genuine sentiment. at least the called for sentiment that's called for in the tradition. it's an enormous mess. that's a technical term from st. paul. i don't know how that would translate to greek. but it really is. and what it

whoexample, william rogers was both secretary of state and attorney general was one of the 20 against the underworld. array griff i know who became federal judge was one of the 20 against the underworld. charles bright tell who went to the highest court in new york was one of the 20 against the underworld. she never got to be a judge. she never actually achieved that, and she always believed it was because of her brother. ent to prison for refusing to name names. those who know my work know that i am very big on tolerance of dissent, not shutting people out of jobs because of their views, and that comes from my great uncle's experience. after he got out of prison, he couldn't get work. of his qualifications, he worked in a factory for a while. he had some writing he couldn't really publish. he finally left the country and never returned. he went to ghana, then on to zambia. the reason i tell you that is my grandmother blamed him for a lot, and in 1951 when he began to face legal troubles, here was his sister who had been this prosecutor and was now at a law practice in new york. he ne

towards the end of his life, he does write a letter to the secretary of state william rogers, of then president nixon, asking, pleading that somebody again try to get to the bottom of what happened in mexico city. there is no subsequent investigation. thomas, unable to find a new career, tragically killed himself. two years later. what was their opinion of what happened there? >> what did the warren commission do in mexico city >> >> the investigation of mexico city was left largely to two lawyers on the committee. one by the name of william coleman, one of the most prominent african-american attorneys and his junior staff associates who was a very young lawyer, in his early 30's from denver. coleman was preoccupied with his work at philadelphia law firm and was not very much involved with the day-to-day work of the commission. his junior did almost all of the work. he was intrigued by what happened in mexico city and wanted desperately to get to the bottom of what happened down there. unfortunate, what we now know is that a tremendous amount of information of what went on in mexico c

and william p rogers was secretary of state and he liked the speech that i made.he started talking to he started talking to people here and there, including president nixon. next thing i know i was offered this job as assistant secretary for public affairs. which was really strange. my knowledge of public affairs was just about zilch. [laughter] but i like to time that i spent here. i found that foreign service officers, i don't know how it is today, but they used to be much-maligned. they went to cocktail parties and that was about it. but i had a different take. i thought at that time, the foreign service exam was the most difficult exam, entrance exam that the government applied to any of the departments. the toughest one was the foreign service exam. people who came in i thought were very bright, motivated, hard-working. all of the good words you want to pile on someone that you admire. i left fairly quickly. it was not that i was tired of my job, rather there were a couple of factors. one was that i was offered another job, equally intriguing, which was to be

but then the department of justice under william barr with through those charges, he also intervened in the sentencing of roger stone close trump, who was in trouble with the courts as well. and then you'll remember, of course, it was bill barr who stood up and gave his the farce. findings of the miller report into alleged russia interference in the 2016 presidential election. and people said his interpretation of it perhaps made his boss look better. the report actually did something that was supported by bill miller himself, robert mueller himself. what is interesting is that has been a bit of a gap between donald trump and bill barr over the last few months, particularly because william barr did not launch an investigation into joe biden before the election. donald trump was very keen and he thought it would give him an electoral advantage that didn't happen. so there's been a bit of a problem between the 2. this certainly isn't going to endear william barr to donald trump in the final days of his presidency. ok, thanks so much for breaking it down. alan fischer. there live from what else? well, anderson is

pardons, paul manafort and roger stone, who were prosecuted by special counsel robert mueller in the russia probe. bottom line here, trump is taking care of his people. nbc's pete williamsre. >> reporter: in the first affect clemency, the president pardoned charles kushner, father of jared kushner. the elder kushner, a multimillionaire real estate developer pleaded guilty in 2004 to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. the president also pardoned paul manafort, his former campaign chairman, convicted of hiding millions of dollars in income from political consulting that he did for the pro-russian government in ukraine. and the president gave a full pardon to former campaign adviser roger stone, whose sentence he commuted in july. stone says he's relieved. >> any reasonable person who looks at my prosecution would understand that this was all about politics. >> reporter: manafort and stone were both prosecuted by robert mueller's special counsel team. a white house statement called manafort a victim of, quote, perhaps the greatest witch hunt in american history. but those pardons especially issued after the president left for florida drew bipartisan condemn

roger stone, michael flynn, george papadopoulos who investigators say was not very cooperative. john harwood, thank you very much. >>> well, let's bring in former deputy assistant attorney general and cnn legal analyst elliot williamsght. let's break this down. you have 15 pardons, five commutations, for the mueller-related pardons there are now four cases of clemency for four people charged and sentenced. what message is this sending? >> well, again, this is exactly as john was reporting, the president has spent a tremendous amount of energy with these pardons rewarding individuals who are, one, personal supporters of his or number two speak to his own legal or political interests. to some extent what he has done is tried to undermine the mueller probe from the beginning and pardons with quite literally the ultimate trump card where he can go around the legal process, go around the convictions, go around the guilty pleas and reward individuals who have been with him from before. now, we should be careful here because presidents do have a tremendous amount of power to issue pardons with very little guardrails on them and just about every president in modern history has stepped in it a little bit with pardons, bill

"the washington post" put it this way. the 20 people who received clemency tuesday only seven were listed in online justice department records. give us sort of a big picture of these pardons and how normal or not normal the numbers and the ways they're going about them are. >> for the trump administration, this is normal. the president tended not to base his pardon decisions on recommendations from the justice department. for 125 years there's been a system that if somebody wants executive clemency, they apply first to the justice department to make their case. the justice department reviewed them and makes recommendations to the white house and the past presidents have basically made their decisions based on the recommendations with tote notable exceptions. in the trump administration the president tended to give pardons to people he knows or responds to people that he knows for whom he is sympathetic with their pardons. he
