i'm honored for the opportunity to read from the holy scripture, from the old testament.ked by senator pryor to do so, i went right to solomon. we all know over the ages that king solomon has been recognized for his great wisdom. but it's really important to note that his wisdom sprang from humility, and that must be our prayer. solomon's prayer her relded at least two books of the bible. the second book of chronicles, the first book of kings. a reading from the first book of kings. god appeared to solomon in a dream during the night. god said, ask what you would like me to give you. solomon replied, you showed most faithful love to your servant, david, my father, when he lived his life before you in faithfulness and uprightness and integrity of heart. you have continued this most sacred love to him by allowing his son to sit on the throne today. now, my god you have made me your servant king in succession to david my father, but i'm a very young man unskilled p in leadership. here is your servant, surrounded by your people whom you have chosen, a people so numerous it's

we find slavery throughout the bible, both the old testament, and paul in the new testament gives instructions on how to treat your slaves. we find slavery in most all of the ancient societies. another common myth is about african slavery. african slavery goes back long before the first africans were ever shipped to the western hemisphere. there was a flourishing african slave trade market long before the europeans discovered the new world. african slaves were transported along the subsaharan slave route not west, but east. they were transported out of afrom to the east. african slaferse were found in ancient greece, ancient rome, and the near east. myth and reality, most slaves were sent from africa to what would become the united states. that's a myth. only about 6%, or in other words, about 600,000 slaves were sent to the western hemisphere, made it to what would become the united states. so, only 6% of the slaves made it to america. the united states. what western hemisphere nation received the most slaves? it was the nation of brazil. the trans-atlantic voyage called by many the middle pa

this was originally outlined in the old testament. everything from the land where the grain, or fruit from the trees belongs to the lord. it is holy to the lord." then in the book of malichi, this is expanded that if people give generously, they will receive blessing. "bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. test me and see if i will not throw open the flood gates of heaven and pour out a great blessing upon you." that's the theology. in the new testament, that says god loves a cheerful giver. so what do we find when we look at the devout rick santorum's giving? in 2010, rick santorum and his wife earned almost a million dollars. $923,000 to be precise. the amount they gave? 1.8%. and just in case you're tempted to compare that with the president, during that same period, the first lady and the president of the united states gave 14.2% of their income to charitable causes. enough said. thanks so much for watching today. dylan ratigan is next. i hope you'll have a peaceful president's day weekend.

even in the old testament and in the new testament as well, 4,000, 2,000 years ago, there was a promisive displeased deeply religious people including jesus christ himself and abraham and moses and others, as they witness the departure from moral values of the people that they led. so, yes, we are perhaps too permissive in our society but i wouldn't say just frelating to sexual images and things of that kind. i think we're too permissive in our society in condoning or promoting conflict, war. when we christians worship the prince of peace, not combat. quite often some of the most prominent christian entities are the ones that encourage conflict as they're speaking out openly in maybe taking military action against iran, for instance. and other things the departure from justice. the equitable treatment of people regardless of what their status in society might be. the economic status or their educational status or their race. those are the kind of things that bother me much more than, say, some of the television movie images that you have. >> thank you mr. president. >> it's a pleasure. th

this is a testament of the ingenuity. this is a reminder when american money flowed freely here. the trade blockade was meant to strangle the resolution -- the revolution, but it just made this place fopoorer. we don't have access to decent things, we have to pay high prices for them. the government says the embargo cost over $100 billion so far and it is used to argue that the u.s. remains a threat and justifies all kinds of restrictions. bicycle taxis are common on the streets but they first began to appear here in the 1990's. it was the cheapest way of getting around. the soviet union has fallen apart and all the subsidies have disappeared. even then, cuba's struggle on seeking new markets and new allies. the loss of its most natural and nearest trade partner have hurt. the world's biggest economy will not buy the cigars. cuba sent 30 million cigars to a u.s. and those states. china and europe are now the destinations. >> some day, the american government will realize that it is impossible to continue with this blockade against the cuban people. we will be ready to supply thes

all of the opiates, including in testaments, including from some people who were not as kind to themnd live as they were in death, talked about is almost unparalleled influence over a very long period of time. and there's no question about that, but what makes it even more astonishing is that he operated not from the highest force, kati referred to this, but he made whatever job he was in a powerful job. as she touched upon, he had every reason to aspire to being secretary of state, and came very close a couple . a couple of chapters touch on that. but whatever job he got, he made it much more of the job description which he just. i'll give you just a couple of examples of that. when the clinton administration came into office in early 1993, they were quite a number of people who felt that if the clinton administration was going to be first rate foreign policy team, richard holbrooke should be very near the top of that team, and for a variety of reasons some of them having to do with the price he paid for being the bulldozer, he'd didn't look as for a while he was going to get a job.

there's the old testament, the new testament, and mormonism there's a third divine book they believe written by god, the book of mormon which contains things in it that have absolutely no bearing and no conceivable connection to any christianity known before that book was revealed. including the notion that jesus christ came to the united states of america after the resurrection. that kind of thing, along with many other items that mormons believe, is the kind of thing that it seems to me that franklin graham was probably referring to. >> i think it is. and it's been interesting, lawrence, ever since i got involved in that back in october, i've heard from so many ex-mormons what i said was saying is absolutely the truth that mormonism is not christianity. and so, again, we're not saying they're bad, evil people. you can be a good, moral person without being a christian. you can't be good enough, none of us is, but that doesn't mean you're a bad person if you're a mormon. we're just saying we shouldn't confuse mormonism with christianity. >> and you also have some very harsh words for
