this is the impact of the bible on america. and impact the bible globally, but today we're going to focus on the impact of the bible in america. it's talked about a lot. we write legislation about the impact of the bible and separation of church and state, many things that have come from that. but today we're going to look at some of the under girding items, documents, manuscripts, printed books that was here and the founding fathers used to create what we call the government of the united states. also with me is norm conrad. norm really put this collection together for us and is here at the museum in washington, d.c., and norm going to lead us through here and give us some of the details of these items. it's a fascinating look understanding that. one of our big tourist groups who come and visit the museum, you would think -- big museum, what do they want to see, especially overseas. the bible in america is one of the key pieces they want to go visit because they want to understand how could that be, how could the bible be a bas

this is the very first book printed in america in 1640. the puritans, william bradford, winthrop, they were not only immigrants to this new world, if you will, but they were also scholars and translating from the hebrew also from the greek, they would present us with what is known as the base psalm book which is the book of saumz put into psalm. the next book that's beside that is really, really interesting and this one here is from in a thannial morton and he was the nephew of william bradford who was the second lieutenant governor of plymouth and using william bradford's works of plymouth plantation, he gave us what is known as new england's memorials and this is one of the very first history books printed in america, but within that, he included the actual mayflower compact as william bradford presented it in his notes, manuscripts of the plymouth plantation. the question often is, what bible did they bring over on the mayflower with them. they used the king james bible. we know where that bible's located and we also know that they also

vice president of the council of the america. up, the white house braces for another tell-all, james comey's them more hits bookshelves next week, how the gop is sitting back and tried to discredit the former fbi director. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ shery: this is bloomberg markets: balance of power. shery: james comey -- david: james comey's book hit shelves on tuesday but we are hearing what is in it with people getting advance copies and reading -- writing reviews. this triggered by a twitter response to the president who said, james comey is a proven l eaker and liar, everyone in washington said he should be fired before he was fired, leak acid -- classified information which he should be prosecuted for and is a week and untruthful slimeball. there was, as time is proven, a terrible director of the fbi and his handling of the crooked hillary clinton case and the events surrounding it will go down as one of the worst botched jobs of history, it was my great honor to fire james comey. one of the most longest presidential tweets. we

the start of his an idea as old as america itself. when it comes to business, this country has the eye of the tiger. there is a spirit of ambition and innovation and collaboration and connection that you can just smell. you can feel the energy, the dynamism and hunger, and all of the qualities needed for an entrepreneur, boldness, confidence, passion, vision, resilience, thinking they, prepared as to put all on the line. these are qualities loved and rewarded by americans. there is no one better in the world to take risks, think outside the box and not follow the crowd. this is all because america gives you the chance to fail. everywhere else failure is fatal, but not here. thomas edison had a thousand unsuccessful attempts at inventing the lightbulb. can record failed in went broke at least twice. walt disney was once almost twice bankrupt but it was never held against them. in fact, it worked for them. there is nothing more than typifies the american spirit than someone who never gives up. that's why we love stories of retention, str

so this is the first complete english bible ever printed in america. the only bible to receive congressional authorization to be printed by robert akin. akin knowing that the crown literal ri held the rights to the english are text, he included the congressional authorization in each and riff one of the bible, and so wherefore you if you were a united states it citizens the t knowing it was forbidden to own a bible owned by the crown, now you could see that your government al al u llowed you t this particular text. so it has the con gregressional authorization showing that congress did indeed and word-for-word that robert akin included into the text. one of the things that i find a amusing about this bible, the akin bible is that on the front page he tells you how the find him. it is a three doors down above the kcoffee shop. so to me, it is apparently there is only one starbucks at the time in philadelphia, but i find it amusing, because you find the coffee shop, you can find the print shop of robert akip. if y if you look at this authorization, it is

the founders of america made it that way. they made sure the need for government approvals and red tape was limited so that the human genius and accomplishment could unleash. our constitution restrains the government, not us. everything is set up for your success here. does that mean that it's easy? absolutely not. realizing your dream and achieving your goals is going to take all you have and more. you're going to fall over and over and over. you're going to have to shed blood, sweat and tears the competition you face will be brutal and it's going to take longer than you ever thought, but at least you are operating in a dream friendly environment. unlike other places, no one is going to stop you. people won't be rooting for your failure. you won't be shut down or disliked for having the audacity to try to elevate yourself in life. in my experience, people tend to mind their own business in america. they're too busy getting on with fulfilling their own dreams. bottom line is this. in america, only you limit yourself. i don't c

that no one knows how old the day is in the americas. it's always been there and there are so many really important cultural strands that come through the day of the dead. it's like a treasure trove of very important cultural indicators to study with the americas having to do with the conception of death, the human body, citizenship and the americas, so many issues that come up in relation to images like this. mestizos are mixed race people in broadest sense sparked out in the spanish colonial period, but not really represent mixed-race people in the americas, so in casting the broadest nets and i'm latino. i think unfairly assimilated latino, professional and i feel wonderful about the world diamond and largely appreciate it. there are millions and millions of latinos who are from the americas and never feel they are welcome as a place they are actually from and i wanted to make the book is unambiguous as possible. you have been here since before european people and i just didn't want the title to be interpreted any other way. my book as

at the summit of the americas to support the strikes on syria. on. reaction to strikes among syrians as divided supporters of the government have called them illegal they don't go far enough. with syria. this is what's left of the birds a scientific research center targeted by missiles from the u.s. britain and france the site near the syrian capital damascus was among three alleged chemical weapons facilities hit during the joint operation the u.s. hopes the government got the message that its actions will not go unpunished. but the syrian state media was that of defiance in the face of what they called tripartite aggression. we did not sleep at night honestly we went to the streets to support the army and the air force struck down the missiles. as war has divided opinion in the middle east people came out in solidarity with the assad government in cities their support for iran and hezbollah or there is high and u.s. sentiment to the relief of the syrian government and its allies the operation was limited instead of a much discussed sustained attack

so that's the most america park and that's the title essay. then there's another essay called a wounded place, and that creates the subtitle. it speaks of oklahoma's racial wounds, the western encroachment on native land moved west from the eastern coast across the continent. the inversion of that is that actually natives were taken from homelands, and not just in the southeast, that so what we thif mostly, the so-called five civilized tribes has dominant culture has named them, choctaw, chickasaw, cherokee, creek and symbol, muscogee creek. were taken from the homelands and moved here. this was true from all over. if you look at oklahoma and where it is situated in the national, the physical map, we are not the heartland. we are to get, the belly come the underbelly. so native tribes were, if you look were all that original homelands were, they are spread all over the continent and they were concentrated here in the middle. that's one of the ways. oklahoma became the promised land for a number of whites who came here. we have the great wester

there are more cars sounds are live from doha also coming up syria dominates the summit of the americas in peru with the u.s. vice president defending the military action. does the island and senegal rising sea levels are creating some of the world's first climate migrant. the u.s. says it's locked and loaded for another military strike if the syrian government uses chemical weapons again that warning follows the most significant western allied attack against president bashar assad's government since the start of the seven year war the u.s. u.k. and france launched more than one hundred missiles on sites they say were linked to syria's chemical weapons program it was in retaliation for last saturday's suspected chemical attack on the town of duma and the smoke was still rising from those sites as the reaction came in from leaders across the region turkey expresses support for the strikes the syrian government and iran called them criminal well russia drafted a un security council resolution to condemn what it called the aggression it was voted down and more on that shortly but first thi

the continental. rural and big city america, we are the same. have gotten along with everybody, farmers, people from manhattan, and kentucky, which is a beautiful state. why don't americans -- i am an older person -- are younger get along with everybody and knock off the fighting and the difference. we are all made by the same person. don't let anybody drill oil on my california coastline. that would be the worst sin this administration could ever make. california has the most beautiful coastline in america. that is all i have to say. host: ed in a pleasant valley, new york. your thoughts on the state of rural america. caller: i live in midstate new york. i grew up, born and raised here. we had a lot of dairy farms, we had local area producers, the local dairy plants. as time went on and ever since the 9/11, the rural areas have changed with commuters living up here and they bought up the old farms the locals could not keep going because of the taxes. they filled the farms with horses. great farm with horses but they produce nothing. biggest sta

he was the first methodist bishop to come to america. s important as asbury, he spoke about the emancipation and freeing of slaves as far back as the first president. and he's also up on the tapestry as well. again, the artifact complements the story as you walk through. here we have bibles within the collection in museum of the bible, cherokee, choctaw, black foot, various translations. not all of them translated to complete bibles. we have new testament, gospel, songs, sometimes the complete bible was translated to reach the indigenous people. these were produced by american bible society. three of many that came out from their missionary work. >> then as we said earlier, the anti-slavery, pro-slavery continues today. here again, bibles created to be pro-slavery. norm, i know there's one here you might want to talk about. >> harriet tubman. the moses of her people. most of us hopefully know the story about harriet tubman and the underground railroad. if you look at the case, you notice it is against slavery and works that are for slaver

the president has also made it clear that the united states of america is prepared to sustain reestablish the deterrent framework that exists in order that the syrian regime and its patrons know that there will be a price to pay if chemical weapons are used again against innocent men, women and children. theve been heartened by support that has been expressed here at the summit of the americas and from leaders around the world. many world leaders here at this summit in lima have expressed support to me privately, many have publicly, for the joint action last night, and expressed appreciation for president trump's strong leadership and the efforts of our armed forces. as thetand against, civilized war has -- civilized world has for more than a century, we stand against the use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians. and america, with the strong support of the united kingdom and france, took action last night to bring our instruments of power to bear, to see to it that the syrian regime patronsnds, and its understand that there will be a price to pay if there are any additional use

this is the first bible ever printed in america. the only bible to receive congressional authorization to be printed by robert aiken. knowing that the crown literally held the rights to the english text, he included the congressional authorization in each and every one of his bibles therefore were you a united states citizen at the time knowing it was forbidden to own a bible not produced by the crown, you could now see that your government has allowed you to be able to own this particular bible. not only did he include that in this text but we've also included the original congressional authorization showing you that congress did indeed and word for word that robert aitken included into his text. one of the things i find amusing about this bible, in the very front page he tells you how to find him and it's three doors down above the coffee shop and so to me, apparently there was only one starbucks at the time in philadelphia, but i just find that moosing. you find the coffee shop, you'll find the print shop of robert aitken. you'll

the americas the america we do. those do suggest fewer. the city of climatic testify is alligators on the loose of poverty and crime by the at least twelve members of my close most. of street racing in the peace of the night this is new orleans. the best place in the world. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somebody wanted. to go on to be close to what before three of the more people. interested in the lives of my. friends. welcome back to the kaiser report guys are time now to go to niceville florida and of course whenever you say niceville florida it can only mean one man karl denninger welcome back to the kaiser report thank you max all righty so carl denham you are in the internet business for a long time what's going on with facebook. oh something i've been raising a stink about sense started publication of the techer in zero seven and when facebook was just agreement people's i. nobody cared and that is that it is trivially easy to abu

the confederate states new testament. very similar to what happened when america declared her independence, the english ceased to supply americah goods. the same thing happened from the north and the south. so, what was established was the confederal states bible society. and this is the first new testament printed from the confederate states bible society which is actually imprinted on the title page. this is a very, very rare new testament because these soldiers, they read their bibles, their new testaments. it was equally important to the south, god's word, as it was to the north. and most of these were destroyed because they took them into battle with them. and basically it was one of the only comforts they could actually have. so, today we found out an hour, two hours ago that billy graham had passed away. and we know that he's a very strong and influential person in america, not only just for the spiritual principles that he brought to us, but the support of the civil rights movement as well. and he invited dr. martin luther king, jr., to come and preach at one of his revival sermons at madison square garden. and he insi

definitely not according to the head of nato, america's wider military alliance. l weapons, then you seriously risk that chemical weapons will be used more and more. for me there is no contradiction between the strikes that took place last night and the efforts to support a politically negotiated solution. still, western strategy is to stay firmly out of syria's war on the ground. today, the syrian army declared all of douma under its control, the town apparently attacked with chemical weapons last weekend and the rebels' last holdout in eastern ghouta. russia with its forces in douma now is helping president assad take back more and more of syria and it is that alliance which will surely dictate much of the terms of any eventual peace. james robbins, bbc news. so how have countries in the region reacted to the air strikes? the bbc‘s chief international correspondent lyse doucet reports from beirut. reaction in this region depends very much on where you stand in syria's tangled crisis and everyone in this region stands somewhere. so, from president assad's staunche

lima, peru, for the summit of the americas. right off the top using a lot of language, harsh words and declarations as it pertains to syria. strong leadership from trump and the u.s. allies. successful military strike on chemical weapons. degrade and crippled. elise labbot with me now. you were listening to him, too. he talked about the extraordinary success, really underscoring, perhaps, the message incoming from the president of the united states, mission accomplished. but the vice president also said, you know, this is an indicator that we're prepared to sustain this effort. there will be a price to pay for chemical weapons are used again. he repeated that message to syria. that, he said, this has been a crippling mission, that it has degraded even the chemical weapons capability in syria. >> well, i mean, look, degraded and crippled are two different things. did it degrade it? it had to because it struck three chemical weapons sites and that's three less than they have right now. it also went against the research facilities.

america in that moment in time. which really was his ability to hold the old america and the new america together. bly the only politician who could hold the diverging parts and keep them dplu glued as one. he could speak to the anti-war movement and to the hard hats and working class. he could speak to the students and to their parent's generation. he could tap into his opposition to the war and connect with people who had a strong loyalty to john f. kennedy and his memory. what is so interesting about it. they did research and in the indiana primary that he won in 1968, a lot of the blue collar vote that is voted for him in the indiana primary, they ended up voting for george wallace and his presidential candidacy in the fall of 1968. so think about it. people who voted for a segregationist governor in the fall of '68 voted for robert kennedy. if you think about what this country loss in robert kennedy. somebody who can keep the country bound together. it was an enormous loss and the sense that america was spiraling out of control. so why don't we take a break and we'll get back together in ten m

this was at the summit of the americas in peru. it is 20 minutes. vice president pence: i asked our acting secretary of state, john sullivan, to join us. first off, let me say that because of the strong leadership of president trump and the strong support of our allies in france and the united kingdom, last night the united states of america conducted a successful military strike on critical chemical weapons infrastructure in syria, that has significantly degraded and crippled the ability of syria to conduct chemical weapons attacks and a chemical weapons program against innocent civilians. this was the morally-right act, and i spoke to the president this morning, and we couldn't be more proud of our american forces and our allies who conducted this attack with such professionalism, and brought about an extraordinary success. the president has also made it clear that the united states of america is prepared to sustain this effort, to reestablish the deterrent framework that exists in order that the syrian regime and its patrons know that there will b

president not to attend the summit of the americas now that's going to have an effect possibly upon one of the of the big issues here which is venezuela the countries in a humanitarian and economic crisis there is also a political problems in that country and the u.s. is pushing hard for sanctions and trying to use this summit to do that the question is how much force we got pushed have without president trump leading it personally one other person that hasn't shown up is around castro the outgoing president of cuba he's due to step down in just a few days' time and he was widely expected to turn out for the summit of the ecuadorian president has also had to go home after a hostage crisis so all of those absences really take away a little bit from the prestige of this summit in lower its profile all right john home and reporting from lima thank you. ecuador's president has confirmed the death of two journalists and their driver who were kidnapped last month they were taken by a faction of colombia's former farquhar rebel group the journalists were on assignment for the crito based newsp

the summit of the americas the biggest gathering of heads of state in the western hemisphere has yet to begin but already people are protesting here in lima peru the people here a finnish whalen's and they're protesting against the venezuelan government which is currently presiding over a humanitarian and financial crisis among them is the exiled ex mayor of caracas who told us what he hopes the heads of state will do in the summit of the americas because then we're muslims jani they should declare the sanctions against those guilty of corruption and crimes against humanity and those who are linked to drug trafficking and terrorism. the issue of venezuela is going to feature on the agenda but the host country peru has already sent a message but an inviting venezuelan president nicolas maduro is going to be another leader who isn't going to be attending the summit and that's the united states president donald trump he's decided to stay at home to deal with the syria crisis and a lot of people here feeling the message that sends is that latin america priority for him without president

the roads. we are investing in airports. those things america needs here is bridges, water and the infrastructure is a $1.5 trillion deficit. but if you turn on the tv, you hear the word is we are a sharply divided america but it's red versus blue, urban versus google, coastal versus the heartland. i reject that. for instance we have much more in common than you might think and it's not just because we have the port in la impact long beach one of the great neighborhoods was iowa by the sea because so many came and helped make my city grea. and i thank you for that. [applause] like iowa, my home state is an agricultural powerhouse a manufacturing center, a place where investing in higher education, trade, food processing and the green energy jobs of the future, washington doesn't care about the price of soybeans or steal that families in iowa and california make their livelihoods based on those prices. we grow things and build things and we still have to do things even if washington can't. sure in los angeles we have more cardassians then you do

democracy promotion around the world is conducted in a way that america should be incredibly proud of. >> one of the first things autocratic rulers do by definition, they violate the human rights of their people and, of course have no problem violating the human rights of others as we have recently seen through war crimes and atroci atrocities with the support of autocratic governments in iran and russia. therefore i believe you would agree that the defending human rights isn't just a good thing to do, just the right moral thing to do, which most certainly is, defending human rights is also in the national interests of the united states of america. >> i do believe that, senator. >> it would be a priority. >> it would. not only do i believe it, i think history would reflect that to be the case. >> now, after the end of the cold war we had this belief that had history had ended and everyone was going to be a democracy and embrace capitalism as we understand it with free economics and the like. that hasn't really worked out in the case of a lot of places par

the agenda of this is summit of the americas was supposed to focus on tackling corruption but the u.s. led strikes in syria diverted the discussions as gentleman reports from lima. the photo point is planned but then the u.s. led missile strike on syria overshadowed the agenda at the summit of the americas i call upon every nation in this hemisphere freedom. to support this military action taken by the united states and our allies and to support it publicly several countries hinted that they did justin trudeau went further canada stands with our friends in this necessary response and we condemn in the strongest possible terms the use of chemical weapons and last week's attack in eastern goat. the humanitarian and political problems in venezuela also took center stage more than a dozen countries signed the statement calling full among other things free and fair elections. the endo hinted also of where we're going is when we will continue to be generous with the venezuelan people there are brothers but will be implacable with the oppressive regime and sort of. want us to see that the ve

the old america and the new america together. e only politician in america who could hold those diverging parts and keep them glued as one. he could speak to the anti-war movement and he could speak to the hard hats and to the working class. he could speak to the students and he could speak to their parents' generation. he could tap into his opposition to the war, but still connect up with people who had such a strong loyalty to john f. kennedy and his memory. what's so interesting about it is they did some research. in the indiana primary that he won in 1968, a lot of the blue collar votes that voted for him in the indiana primary that year, they ended up voting for george wallace in his presidential candidacy in the fall of 1968. so think about it. people who voted for a segregationist governor in the fall of '68, also voted for robert kennedy. so when you think about what this country lost in robert kennedy, somebody who could keep the country bound together, it was an enormous loss. and again the sense that america was spirali
