confinement because the warden did not want me to preach on the -- have a church on the prison yard, so christ, i have to say, in answer to your question, it was christ that helped me to of love everybody. regardless of what. so that's my answer. and i was eventual i vindicated and exonerated. governor thompson gave me a pardon in 1978, and in 2003, governor ryan gave me a pardon based on innocence. the state of illinois exonerated me, and compensated me. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. >> listen, y'all, thank you very much. we -- i notice there are a lot of folks here, so i tell you what i want to ask y'all to do, i tell you what, we're starting to run out of time, we're not there yet, but let's just kind of keep it short so everybody gets a chance to ask questions, ok? go ahead. >> my name is lawyer johnson, i was also convicted for a crime i didn't do. i did 10 years. and also after i got out, from doing 10 years, i waged a successful battle to get a bill passed in boston for the wrongful conviction if terms of compensation. but let me get a little bit more to the cause of the dynamics

so the dangerousness jesus christ souter really got at and that was reflected in his majority opinion for the court. now ted mentioned that this argument -- justice souter really got at that in his majority opinion. the justices were so skeptical in many ways of the girl's arguments. justice briar went on a long discussion about -- breyer went on a long discussion of how is this different than changing in the locker room? i did that. he made some joke that didn't go that well for him. but it's like what's the big deal was basically their point? and it was only justice ginsburg who was forceful and indignant and increasingly outraged as this argument went on that her colleagues just didn't get it. they just didn't get it. they didn't understand how intrusive and how upsetting this could be. they hadn't been a 13-year-old girl. she had. savana was certainly there. her case was before the court. so we all saw it and, really, when they said -- when the chief announced on thursday that we were going to have this decision, i sat up because i was ready for another one of justice ginsburg's q

so she goes-- he goes and becomes a follower of jesus christ. [applause] and, he now has a television ministry, and satellite ministry where he broadcast the gospel and prime-time television at 10:00 in the eye ran in farsi, the native language. he is preaching to 79 million muslims a night on primetime television. he is the sean hannity-- [applause] of the revivalists. god is taking radical muslims and bringing them into the kingdom. he is taking nominal muslims, he is taking about muslims and bringing them into the kingdom to the gospel of jesus christ. just as the bible said they would. this is the fulfillment of bible prophecy. what other bible prophecy i want to know, and of course there are many and we will be talking about war through the day but joel chapter 2, verses 28332, the bible says that it will come about in the last days, the word says i will pour out my spirit to all mankind and your sons will prophesy, and your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions and it will come about that whoever calls on the name of t

so forth, you know. the very word catholic means kind of universal belief, and believe in the uniqueness of christ. i have often been critical of darwinism. i am, you know. and i am shocked by the present shallowness of the anti-darwinists of this so called creationist. usage of phrases when they say intelligent design, that the alternative to darwinism is intelligent design. christ's sake, what is it, that reduces god to a supercomputer wizard or a rocket scientist? [laughter] >> you know, intelligent design, you know. you see, the answer of darwinism is simply, was very profound. that no matter how much truth, and there is some truth, you know, in the evolution of the species. either there is a small but a fundamental difference between human beings and all other living beings. if there is no great difference, no difference between human beings and any other living beings, then there is no such thing as sin, then anything including incest and murder are perfectly natural. you know, it is as profound as it is human. that human nature does not change. that we are all sinners, you know. not just wond

at one point, he is recorded in -- record saying jesus christ couldn't please them when he was on earth, referring to the jews, so how could anyone expect i would have any luck? that almost funny. and then later on you have him say -- and this is i think in connection to the exodus issue -- the jews i find are selfish. they care not how many how yugoslavs, greeks get murdered as displaced persons, as long as the jews get special treatment yet when they have a physical financial or political power neither hitler or stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment of the underdog. put an underdog on top and would make no difference whether his name is russian, jewish, management, he goes haywire. i found huge use the remember the past condition when prosperity comes. so in light of that, what -- what are we to make out truman's attitudes? is there a conclusion that can be drawn? >> i've think people have used those quotes to say truman was an anti-semite who really didn't care about the jews and came out with statements like that, but negative can kind of see it as an ark. he ran into the state department re

christ. he is trying to gather people -- he is trying to make people come together so we can try to make peace with each other. he has accepted him. let god do his part. we will do our part. guest: i think she is saying correctly that the president is trying to transcend these rifts. the problem is in the middle east, in the name of god, there has been terrorism, violent extremism. th has been part of the problem. what the president was trying to invoke was the idea that the killing of innocent people is never justified. i think it was a message of uplift. it was a message of trying to use religion for peaceful purposes. host: is democracy viable for the middle east? guest: every country moves at its own pace. i think the president's approach by focusing on institution- building is the long-term approach. if we only define democracy as an election tomorrow morning, we will encounter surprises. the only people who are organized in many places in the middle east are extremists. i think laying the foundation for an independent judiciary to focus on women's rights, media, all sorts of things like

christ. amen. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the house will stand >> so i thought out a whole lot of things but i think it was an important hearing and i was talking -- i was waiting for senator sessions. i yield to senator sessions. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and i appreciate the opportunity to discuss with you some of the details on the confirmation hearing for judge sotomayor, and maybe we can develop a good plan for that. attorney general holder, i'm glad you're here today to address the committee as we fulfill our oversight and responsibility for the department of justice. the department plays a critical role in protecting the rule of law and preserving national security and it must be free from political pressures and ideological success. i supported your nomination to be attorney general. i think i was a minority in my party that did so. but i did so because i believe that your previous experience within the department would serve to elevate the department and its mission above politics and bad policy, and i was assured by your promises during the confirmation

at one point he's recorded in -- he's recorded as saying jesus christ couldn't please them when he was here on earth, referring to the jews sohow could anyone expect that i would have any luck? [laughter] >> and then -- it's almost funny. later on you have him say -- and this is, i think, context to the exodes issue. the jews i find are' very selfish. they care not so many astonians, lat veians or anything as long as they get special treatment yet, when they have some physical, financial or political partner neither hitler or stalin has anything on them for cruelty áu on the underdog. put an underdog on top and it would make no difference whether his name is russian, vjewish, negro, mormon, baptist. i found very jews remember their past condition when prosperity comes. so in light of that, what do you -- what are we to make of truman's innermost attitudes? is there a conclusion that can be drawn? >> yeah, i think people have was an anti-semite who really didn't care about the jews and came out with statements like that. but i think you can kind of see it as an arc. he came into office being very sympathetic. he ran head in

and these old ladies came through the gateway of the christ college cambridge and one said to the other mabel, don't you just love history. it's soaughter] my point of life i appreciate this testimony, so it is old and young at the same time, so this cross fertilization between the present moment struck me as a good risky project to undertake because i thought what one might do in the films made for the bbc we are about to start shooting a couple which will be follow-up films shooting the president on omaha beach on the 65th anniversary of d-day which if you can't find some of his most grindle words, you know, on that particular occasion will. but i was also a journalist when i graduated from college and was never quite sure what i wanted to be between doing at least even some i worked for harold on the sunday times of london and it's rather glorious investigative phase in the small role in a couple of days a week hired by a friend of mine working for the paper. i worked for the occasional magazine and i felt it was the job in a way of good journalists almost always read the first draft of history. i was lucky. i was the sort of

christ. the majority only a small minority went from the leading in him and even a small minority there were jews who suffered for his sins. so we must understand in different ways we will not be persecuted but we will be a small minority who believe that human beings are different from all other human beings and all god is going to judge a us four is how do we behave? how do we think? how to react? how do we speak too other human beings? they have three or four relationships in this world. in fact, he has a relationship, but everybody. he has a relationship with himself then he has a relationship with all other living beings and has a relationship with other human beings. we can only judge fell last one. we don't know we're not here to judge what is the relationship to god. we do not know what a person is to himself but we can only judge him how he acts with other human beings whether babies or old people never mind other human beings in this for us has the belief that we are unique in the universe, we are not knowing that the son of god came as a human being. no matter what science and technology says we're both in space an

satan so israel is an objective but we are the ultimate objective because iran's leader receives us as an epicenter of christiandom. we need a revival of this country and we need to return to jesus christ to this country but for their purposes they are coming to us. our theme at this epicenter conference this year is understanding today's global crisis -- crises in the light of bible prophesy. what most people don't realize is this -- is that the islamic revolution that was set into motion 30 years ago this year, 30 years ago this week is actually the fulfillment of bible prophesy. in the past 30 years what have we seen in iran and throughout the muslim world? we've seen wars. we've seen revolutions. we've seen rumors of more wars. we've seen terrible lawlessness. the exporting of terrorism all over the middle east, all over the world. asia, africa, latin america, the united states. we have seen terrible persecution of followers of jesus christ and now the constant talk of the coming of the islamic messiah. this is exactly what the bible foretold 2,000 years ago. jesus said in luke chapter 21 that in the last days, quote, you will hear of wars and revolutions. he said, do not be fright

so thhot th. host: a lot has changed in 65 years but in watching some of the video right now does anything look familiar to you? caller: sure it does. christ, yes. there is certain video that my likes to watch that stuff and there is certain video and there is a sign that says something and i was there. i remember that for sure. and it is the 82nd airborne. you can see the troopers with the patches. then when you get near the bridge i remember that. that was like yesterday. and we still a lot of souvenirs september home. i september my mother a pair of wooden shoes home from holland when we were there on the bridge too far. there is a lot of stuff. a tagger and nazi arm band. there is a lot of stuff around. host: one more thing before we let you go. are any of your buddies that you jumped with still alive? do you keep in touch? caller: no, we are dying at 1,100 a day and everybody is gone. when i left the army i think i left the army, you know. but -- ah -- i remember. thanks for mentioning the 82nd we didn't have as good a p.r. campaign as the 101. host: thanks for your call, john. let's take another call from churchill, tennessee. gene.

christ i can die between to thieves. [laughter] to understand the relationship between the state, organized religion from the point of view of the anarchist, one has to understand how they view this and so when emile henry does his declaration he says about the petty bourgeois, he tried to kill them all and would have killed again, he says they are always with the big guys. there with the fat cats in the heat the people whose class they have come out of or they hate them, the patty bourgeois. as once a the university of michigan library and on the first and only sort of account of the first and last world congress meeting of the patty bourgeois appropriately and brussels in 1898 and then he says this, he writes his mom various letters, because this huge panic of the bombs and there are all sorts of big bombs. if you go to the airport to his novel the explosions of bags left behind that are put in these things to blow up suspicious objects, those were invented precisely at this time of the dynamize so coses and there are lots of heat mail. i have read in pardons, literally hundreds of threats in all of paris saying i'm going to blow you up. you are mean to your domestics, you are mean to

christ, there wouldn't be ever inclined. they wouldn't even look at him and he has had trouble finding translators. because for the tibetans articulating the words of a god is too daunting. so as soon as he meets you or me he is looking to be challenged, and part of his practice is debating, which means he takes this position and he wants you to take the opposite position. i think he likes nothing more than being opposed she would make you feel you were talking to me or a old friend. >> i would like to talk for a second out his celebrity status rocks are the likes of which i can't think of an example, mother teresa, who is a longer with us, perhaps. you knew him as you described, before, when he was a simple buddhist monk for the most part. and i know that if i became that famous it would go to my head probably. and i would be incorrigible to some extent. and it would change me. do you think that celebrity has changed the dalai lama? >> no because he has an advantage neither of us had that he is born as a god. if anything he began as a god and now he is immortal and he began surrounded by 6 million people who wouldn't even look at him and now he's surrounded by thousands wh
