Affiliated that is simply false. In that way get away from that question in the further we are. But carters campaign is the reversal in the fact that we spoke about it so freely with his appeal. Ive loved your closing sentence. Maybe he was the last one to no. Whats was his feedback . Steve is more likely to review the and i am. We just sent it to him last week. Iodine to space make city is not the last one. [laughter] but to be clearer that carter is animated or of assessed at dont think that is the bad thing. The world is of better place i dont question that for a moment. But even approaching 90 years old has no indication to lets up. But i think of the most recent book he has not been an advocate for choice. Carters relationship with the Southern Baptist convention by rights is a dysfunctional marriage in the then occasional attempts at reconciliation. It began to go south and he saw that as the real wakeup call. One of the Southern Baptist leaders comes shortly thereafter and his c
They were always very welcoming to me. And i have to tell you that publishers and authors do all kinds of sorts of things to be able to speak at this marvelous place. And it was lovely and as david said, brad and melissa had carried on the wondrous tradition that began with the energy and ingenuity. And they are keeping going and tonight is a testimony to the job that they do and the reverend that they did for books that we all share. Richard nixon is a hard man to let go of. [laughter] i first remember him as a child in a blackandwhite fuzzy television, seeing this odd man. He was on the ticket with general eisenhower. There was some problem of taking money from this secret funds. He was blaming his daughters dog. And i thought, isnt he interesting. Well, he never stopped being interesting. Richard nixon was never boring. And if david mentioned, he was probably as interesting in his after presidency as he was during his presidency. I chronicled in the book, beginning when spiro agnew
And i pray that there will be nothing like it and i think we just have to be sure to hold the president accountable and then get after the congress if theyre not doing their job. Especially on one particular issue that i dont have to even mention. Because theyre so obsessed with looking for that they sometimes end up finding it. So it should balance out in the end. The constitution works and it varies, but it works. I cant think of a better system and im also very concerned with ideas for tinkering with the constitution and that is a whole other subject. And we dont want to play tough politics with the First Amendment or any of it. Hello, my name is richard. You think that theres any truth to the thought when nixon had phlebitis that he was sort of not taking his own life, but not necessarily writing to live . Know, nixon was not a quitter. And then he finished when he quit. And i am not a quitter. And he never quit. He was just down and out as a person could be when he landed in san c
Falwell has his own Segregation Academy and this is what gets him and others motivated. As the architect of the religious right has corroborated is emphatic about this point i was trying to kick these people ever since of Goldwater Campaign and i tried everything i could think of. School prayer, prayer, abortion, nothing got their attention until the school issue and that is what galvanized them into a political movement. The second part of the story , the bob dylan case with the evangelical leaders but was also savvy enough to realize he needed day different issue to have grass roots evangelicals from the religious right and in 1978 the answer finally comes to him and particularly in minnesota and iowa something remarkable happens there are three seats up for office. And the governorship rollup for grabs. And in iowa dick clark was the incumbent and going into the election no poll showed clark ahead by fewer than 10 Percentage Points during those final. But what happens in iowa and mi
The warning about the al qaeda build up one was the photograph of an al qaeda rally. 300 activists waving their guns in the air and calling for the death of the u. S. Ambassador. At the very same time the state department is denying the security for that environment. They also knew that the private life of the ms or stevens was known and used as a targeting device by al qaeda through some of his friends and associates. His schedule was posted on the Al Qaeda Facebook page before the attacks utterly ignored and then we had the account of the attacks and the value that they had been saving for Diplomatic Security personnel. So i dont think that they did. Its in the first half hour of the attack it was separated in a small building which was they were suffocated in the insurgency attackers in the diesel fuel was hit on the grounds of the diplomatic outpost ground and basic the the building on fire when they decided. But the other two die diabetes s later and this was the rolling attack. H
