thank you. >> tony perkins, the last minute or so. >> 99 years is a legacy. and i think again going back to what we started with. a legacy is determined not what is behind you but what is before you. what billy graham did is laid a foundation for evangelicals in this country to be mainstream in sharing their faith and living out their faith. i do think his son is a clear reflection of billy graham and his daughter. many of the grandchildren continue consistently in the faith. and i think as a father, nothing is most important than see your children follow in the teachings and carrying forth the ministry. and franklin remains true to the message that billy graham preached which was a biblical message. jesus is the way, the truth and the life. i for one, it is, it is is aed to see billy graham pass because it is an era. 99 years is a long time and represents a lot of what happened here in america. the future is one of the callers said earlier t. is up to us to live out the faith and that's what evangelicals are doing. the ability to live their lives, teach thei

unfortunately, that is not the case of his son or people like tony perkins, who will talk about him. theirs is a path of hate." perkinsd know that tony will be joining us this morning at about 9:00. he is the president on the family research council, and will be here to take your calls. we will also talk to him about the legacy of billy graham. one more tweet this morning, "i do not think you should be -- he should be -- elevated to a level of idle olatry. spirituality is fine, but when you substitute education with religion, it led to a lot of ignorance." caller: they put me on antidepressants and it made me normal, they pulled me out of the doldrums. i was really thankful for that. has somethingam in the seattle times, and it was about depression and how people should not be taking drugs, they should rely on god. i guess that would work for some people, but it did not work for me. as i read it, it made my heart sink because i am thinking if there are people out there who do not do the clinical thing to ilp them through these times, hope nobody died as a result of -- what he was prea

we'll reflect on his powerful life and legacy with tony perkins. >>> top story, president trump's efforts to prevent massacres like the one of the florida high school last week. the president today holding an extraordinary emotional listening session to improve school safety. john roberts has our report. >> david, it was another extraordinary moment at the white house today as the nation was allowed to listen in. students from marjory stoneman douglas high school and the father of one of the students killed there appealed to president trump to not let this be like all of the other school shootings. to do something to make a difference this time. in the state dining room today, six students from douglas high school and their parents, brought to washington by the department of education. >> nothing ever that horrible should ever have to happen to you. >> i was lucky enough to come home. some schools may be compromised on some solutions so this never -- no child, no person in this world will ever have to go through something so horrific. >> the solution is not going to be a singular thing. >

joining us exclusively tonight, tony perkins in dallas. >> good to be with you. >> bret: your thoughts on billy graham's life and legacy. >> no question billy graham touched the world. his ministry reached to all corners of the earth. in the united states, he has almost universal name recognition. not many people have grown up without hearing him. his legacy really is not so much and looking back but it's looking forward, not only for him and eternity, he is poured his life into so many people and his son, franklin, an end graham watts, they continue his ministry and really building upon the foundation he laid. >> bret: he was a pastor to presidents. we received statements today from five living presidents, all of them putting out a statement they were touched by billy graham in one way or another. but it goes beyond that. i have done some research on the books. eisenhower was the first president to really connect with billy graham in the white house. he had a long relationship with billy graham. when he was deciding whether to run in 1951, billy graham sent him a letter saying "someti

i'd like to think. >> >> tony perkins and social conservatives.aves. when you look at his agenda, he's been more conservative than other republican presidents appointing conservative judge, expanding mexico city policy. he's done many things that other republican presidents. >> two of my mom's sisters were nuns who spent their entire lives teaching kids. i wouldn't generalize about. >> religious freedom. >> certainly there are issues beyond abortion that social conservatives care about intensely. but many of these things that have come just in the last week should come as no surprise, right? the bargain that social conservatives made early on in backing trump was a bargain made in full knowledge whether you believed his denial or not that he was accused of grabbing women, right? and bragging about it. and a number of other statements that he made during the campaign that showed him to be sort of constitutionally out of step with much of what they believe. and they backed him anyway. in fact, have been among his most enduring and loyal core support

podcastvid brody, that with tony perkins is available at politico.com. the reference to a mulligan, a golf term when it comes to the prevalence sexual encounters -- president's sexual encounters, is that a fair analogy? guest: i know he gets to the mulligan, and ran with it, but -- host: which is why we ran the longer speech and not the twitter version. guest: he said overall that this is a president who is maturing. that's the word he used. that is what the book is saying. there's a spiritual journey that he is on. that, tony mentioned mauldin, but the truth of the matter is that evangelicals see a president delivering time and time again. becomes whatthen do they do with that? are they able to wrap themselves around a candidate, a democrat candidate who is for partial-birth abortion like hill he clinton? they're not going to go there. it leaves them with either sitting on the sidelines or voting for someone like donald trump. why did he get 81% of evangelical vote? very simple. this culture has gone haywire in their view and therefore they did not want

. >> you heard tony perkins give him the term mulligan. they forgive certain failings, if you will. done is cause a lot of evangelicals em place mo momor more relativism. there are defenses of evangelicals voting for president trump. there are no defenses of evangelicals defending the president's sins. >> i've done a lot of this on president trump's relationship with god, visiting the childhood church he attended on fifth avenue, and there was this amazing anecdote from, i think, right after he was elected. he had this private meeting with two presbyterian leaders, and as soon as he walked into the room, he said, you know i did very well with the evangelicals, and they sort of had to politely remind him, we're not evangelic evangelical, we're presbyterian. and he was quizzing them on what the difference was. so i think we know this is not a man who has a close relationship or spiritual relationship even though he talks about his religion, his relationship with god in these kinds of settings. and i think that's why you sort of see this disconnect, that he understands that the idea of
