Black communities, a real demand for serious policy. just because we disagree with donald trump, just because we think, i think he is a bigot, doesnt mean that im going to run with my hands wide open to a democratic party. who in some instances takes advantage of black voters. >> eddie, it always makes sense, plrly coming from you. i do wish i could have more time with you, i could chat with you all day. but well do it again, i promise, eddie, thank you so much. have a great day. coming up, wh...

But a lot of people are really raising this question on whether it was appropriate or not to ask him to resign over a prayer that they gave. >> and respectfully, i would note that his office does say on the record that the chaplain was not asked to resign over a single prayer. obviously, theyre being criticized by democrats about that, but that we should note that is the statement from speaker ryans office. >> something possibly brewing, but still a surprise to the rest of us. and the handshak...

Male. someone who has kids, who understands the job. ands, w and also, why do we just have a christian chaplain? ive been a part of many universities where theyll have a buddhist chaplain, a catholic chaplain, a christian, a muslim. sometimes theyll have up to 12 to 20 chaplains. >> they have a chaplains office in a university. its nice. >> whats really frustrating is paul ryan can never get his lies straight, but when you sold that tax bill to the american public or sort of pitched it, before t...

Hes not even opening a window to possible diversity, right? and i do think its moving obviously in a protestant direction, not a catholic direction. soy mean, i think if we knew the reason why the chaplain was dismissed, beyond, you know, some members of the body felt uncomfortable. well, which ones? i thought this was a democracy. are there certain complaints? is there something we should know? should there be a committee that looks into what these sort of uncomfortable situations that members ...

>> i just want to be clear, here. that the official -- this is -- i want to read the ryan statement. i want to give them their due here. they are saying, the speaker made the decision he believes to be in the best interest of the house, and he remains grateful for father conroys many years of service. thats on the record. officials if that office will say, we had nothing to do with the prayer. this is all getting blown out of proportion, yada yada. >> but we also have to look at the republicans ...

And if you think that the house chaplain is using his position to kind of like subtly, you know, orate against your legislative priorities, like, i can understand being angered by that. >> you asking me this question? >> yes. >> i think its the silliest thing ive ever heard. the guy is a priest. hes there to pray. hes drawing his prayer, as near as i can tell, strictly from the gospels. you know, theres an old saying among we former altar boys. if a sermon makes you uncomfortable, figure out why...

Opportunities that have allowed some to achieve great success while others continue to struggle. may their efforts these days guarantee that there are not winners and losers under new tax laws but benefits balanced and shared by all americans. >> conroy told "the new york times" that after that prayer, a paul ryan staffer said we are upset with this prayer, you are getting too political, and ryan himself then told him, padre, you just got to i stay ostay ou politics. charlie, youre already shaki...
