christian teachings, at least the christian teachings i m aware of? yeah, it s the whole debate between compassion and law and order. again, evangelicals, it is a dynamic group of people. i think you get all sorts. people with different opinions on this issue of the wall. i mean, you see the suffrage down there. i don t think anybody would doubt that. then you also have the law and order side of it. there are people who support this president and what he s doing. they believe that he is on the right side of this issue in trying to protect our country. but it s not black and white. it s not cut and dry. it s a complicated issue, craig. jenna browder, thank you. thanks, craig. out of the running. why heather nauert dropped her bit for u.n. ambassador and the controversy from her past that may have influenced that decision. plus, the texas ranch that s helping veterans and first responders get back on their feet after struggling with ptsd and addiction. how warriors heart teache
shore up the base, he is fighting to keep evangelical voters, as well. according to the washington post, here s how the president is doing it. appointing anti-abortion judges, calling for a repeal of the late-term abortions. calling for a repeal of the johnson bill. funding abstinence programs. promising to help religious adoption agencies. and praising bible literacy classes. i want to bring in jenna, the host of cnb s faith nation. thanks for your time. sarah huck kabee sanders appear on your network recently. here s what she had to say. i think god calls all of us to fill different roles at different times. i think that he wanted donald trump to become president. that s why he s there. i think he has done a tremendous job in supporting a lot of the things that people of faith really care about. does that really sum up the view among evangelical
supporters, jenna, of the president? do they see donald trump as god s choice? well, i think it is worth pointing out, craig, that ev evangelica evangelicals, like any group of people, are a dynamic group of people. i don t want to speak for all evangelicals. of the ones we talk to, many do believe that donald trump was put in office for this time. a lot of them would tell you the same thing about president obama and previous presidents. they believe that he has been put in office for this particular point in history. it s also worth noting here, and franklin graham and i had this conversation a few weeks ago, the term evangelical, when we use it political, what does that mean anymore? well, in today s day and age, it s become, you know, more of a political term, i think, for a lot of people. but it is christians. it s a wide base of people. you know, in 2016, about 81% of
number. they have to be at least 26%. that s the number i will be watching tuesday night. if they re below 26%. that s not a good sign for the president, for the republican party. we did talk to jenna browder my colleague and i talked to the president on air force one. he talked about this. he said look, i have the evangelicals, i love them. they love me. of course he is going to say that he even admitted in the interview he is not sure exactly if all of them are going to show up in 2018 like they did in 2016. even he is wondering about it. brian: instead of trying to convert. he tries to get everybody out. that s why he is going to the areas where he has got the popularity. we will see if that strategy works. get his supporters to vote rather than convert some people to vote for him. well, and there is a multiplier effect as you guys know. it s one thing to see a 20,000 seat rally and great and looks like 2016. the question is are the folks at the rally going home and tell their par
global church teaches creationism and intelligent design. sanders asked if she shared she s views said i believe in the bible. what did you make of that? i read the article also, ainsley. i didn t learn a whole lot other than this journalist clear disdain for the president and for sarah huckabee sanders and christians. sarah sanders not allowed to have religious beliefs? i don t think it s earth-shattering that she goes to church and believes in god. this comment, this article was pretty con dessending and smug. ainsley: yeah. hill song is a great church. they should try it thank you so much, jenna. thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. hillary clinton is back and she has a new mission, save us from president trump she says. what does tomi lahren think about that? she is live coming up next. the count down to mid terms is on less than 50 days to go. what do new jersey voters think? pete is having breakfast
