kennedy the same percentage. so it s something to think about. i wonder if justice scalia would have voted the same or certainly not garland but interesting statistic. and evangelical made up 26% of the 2016 electorate, 81% of those supported donald trump. the supreme court on tuesday decided pregnancy centers do not have to provide information about abortions to patients, given abortion opponents a victory there. how important was this to evangelical? what are you hearing? first of all, hello, chris and dandy. great danny. huge to evangelicals. i m a christian journalist covering this community since the ford administration and we feel there has been one thing after another that has sort of, an agenda against our religious freedoms that pro-abortion and
what would tpotentially come ou of it, do you it think? it s fair to say for the first time our international oh allies are probably just as concerned about the american president as about the russian president. they will be watching closely to see what donald trump shows up at the summit. is it the same donald trump who was at the g7? essentially wrecked the g7 by pulling out of the communique, by proving obstinate and stubborn, suggesting that crimea belongs to russia, suggesting that russia should be readmitted and reconstituted the g8. they ll be very nervous about wh they see and hear from donald trump and i think rightly so. this is not a president who has found much utility in nato. this is a president that for some unknown reason, some reason that bob mueller is looking into right now has continued em place vladimir putin. there are going to be a lot of nerves as the american president arrives at the summit.
this is huge to evangelicals. in fact, the one thing that got a lot of people who didn t like donald trump personally, who didn t like his tweets, didn t like his background to vote because of the supreme court. mainly because of hillary clinton would have put in someone very, very different. i document this in my book, god and donald trump. very, very important. energizes the base. will get people to the polls and one thing that a lot of people overlooked in the third debate is then candidate trump said if he was elected, roe v. wade would be overturned. i had never heard a politician say that, and yet he said it. but the media did not cover it very much and it seemed to go over everybody s head. maybe not over the head of evangelical voters. danny, one of the things that was interesting when i was doing a little googling yesterday. one of the first things that popped um about the supreme court justices their age and health. right? a lot of people are thinking about that. probab

talks with north korea. including giving up those military exercises. is it a good thing just to sit down and talk? or are many of our allies right now, balkan leaders in particular, nervous? well, i think both things can be true, chris, and in this case, both things are. it is true that there is utility in sitting down to talk with both our friends and our adversaries and vladimir putin whatever donald ump might think is, in fact, an adversary. we can ask ourselves why is it necessary that donald trump has attached such urgency summit, a stand-alone summit when we can expect great pomp and circumstance follows president trump s circumstances. calling into question why it s necessary to vet president putin the way he has with this stand-alone summit, but there it be some utility in talking especially if donald trump does the what he failed to do in the
