the country not only with evangelica evangelicals, record turn out and early votes and absentee votes. i think the answer will be yes. two years in, are white evangelicals happy with donald trump or happy with their decision to vote for him? the second question is a good way to answer that question. i think that we talk about promises made, promises kept that between mr. gorsich and mr. kavanaugh and the jerusalem embassy and now news right now on the iran sanctions. things are going the way that white evangelicals would love to see in a lot of record. i think there s more room for progress. we re working hard on the criminal justice bill that i think once this over, we ll see progress next week in d.c. on the first step back. honestly, there s a lot of boxes that are being checked now. we re not only encouraged here
party. and the strongest base of support for trump and for moore in alabama are self-described evangelica evangelicals. i understand the argument they make, which they think the policies will do more to advance the good of the country, but there reaches a point where that no longer applies. beyond that, the enthusiastic support you see, among evangelical leaders for trump. they won t hold him accountable. they champion him. they ll never criticize him. so i just feel like those terms, which are important to me, these are institutions that i ve been a part of my entire adult life, i feel like they re being stained and degraded, at least i personally felt like i needed to back away. noel, what do you say and what do you do with the younger generation of republicans or evangelicals? one could say, you didn t know alabama 40 years ago. it was a different place, a different lifestyle.
base hitting churches, though have felt more like campaign eents. the only way our voice can be heard throughout this country is by us taking our liberties and voting with them. they want to do two things. several things. they want to hide the true issues. that s why you see t the washington post bring out the russian investigation when people want to know about health care. but brubaker worries what the message would send. i m deeply concerned about his presence in the senate would have on the reputation of evangelica evangelicals. i m tempted to vote for doug jones for that reason but i can t bring myself to pull the trigger on that. doug jones biggest hurdle, he s pro choice. an issue, the issue that puts him at odds with conservative voters. he s also a man of faith
would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses? that is correct. it s interesting to hear him on the campaign trail talking about students and kids in zool. social issues have never been the bullwork of donald trump. he wants to talk about other things. he is more socially liberal, i believe than a lot of his evangelica evangelicals, and his attorney general is not. the argument between in it s an argument between jeff sessions and betsy devos must have been quite interesting because her first statement here was that the federal government has a moral obligation that no individual school district or state can advocate when it s regarding protecting children in school, and so clearly she on the other side of this, what the obama administration did was saying that title nine says that you cannot have discrimination because of your sex, period, and
president trump. what message other than this agenda do you want to communicate to a president trump? well, first of all, you remember jonathan, that in that first watch night service, actually black and white abolitionists and they were having the services because they knew at 12:01 they would join the fight nor freedom. they were still in the midst of slavery. we visited more than 22 states. every moral leader, every generation, needs moral leaders that will say to people, here s the politics of god. here s the agenda of god, here s the agenda of justice. mr. trump has surrounded himself with so-called white evangeli l evangelica evangelicals, it does not deal with the 2,000 issues around poverty and justice and mercy the scriptures bring up. we are offerings to meet with him. this is an attempt to say, listen, here is a real moral agenda that should be pursued. but other than that, he can listen.
