On saturday, he campaigned in las vegas and phoenix amid reports that some Republican Leaders will try to deny him the partys nomination. Trump telling the crowds, there is no way thats going to happen. He spoke to nbcs Hallie Jackson and said he hopes the party will come together behind his candidacy.

Alison stewart, correspondent and anchor for pbs news hour and author of the book junk digging through americas love affair with stuff and back in her mtv days, alison covered another clinton running for president , do we have the picture, of some 1992 astew. Yes. Love it. The hair. I had not discovered good Hair Products yet. And it rained that day. In your defense. Meanwhile, anand giridharadas, let me say it again, giridharadas, giridharadas, i know you well, well work this out some day, a writer for the New York Times and author the true american sometimes goes to german raves in brooklyn but went to bed early last night for us. And amy holmes, political analyst, aid and speechwriter to former republican majority leader bill frist. She, alison and anand will be locked all morning in a competition for best hair. We invite everybody to vote online, sundaytoday. Welcome back. Good to see you. A lot of you are here last sunday morning, waiting to go on, we got this terrible news out of orlando. We had a week or so to digest it. Anand, ill start with you, there have been so many people pointing so many fingers. What caused this, what should we be talking about, terrorism, we should be talking about the way the fbi monitors people, homophobia, guns, there is this stew and everyone seems to have a cause and reason why it happened. What is this a story about to you . I think one of the remarkable things about this story is how many story lines, how many of the american story lines today it had in it at once and we still dont know the full measure of all of them. It certainly has a story about terrorism and radical islamism, i think it has a story about manhood and abusive man, i think it has a story about guns, i think it is a story about homophobia. But, to me, what happened right afterward risks eclipsing the tragedy, which is an exploitive speech right afterward by donald trump a day or two afterward that i think will go down as one of the most dangerous and unamerican speeches by an american nominee in my lifetime. For the benefit of the viewers, which part of the speech bothered you . It is first time someone of that stature essentially targeted a group of americans and linked a specific terrorist act to an entire population of people. And said, we need to keep that entire population of people out of our country. It was very deft, very clever, hes smarter than a lot of his critics think and he very carefully used language to telescope back and forth between specific people who committed specific crimes and a faith, world, entire countries, entire regions, going back and forth in his language. I think 50 years from now, people may not remember the orlando massacre for good or ill. That speech will be taught to our grandchildren. We shouldnt be surprised anymore, but i guess i was, in the immediate aftermath of the shooting on sunday how quickly people run to their cultural battle station. Everyone has to stake out their positions and talk not about the 49 people that died, but about defending their spot. I took off my reporter hat and became a civilian because i think i shared with some of you that the next day there was a gun incident outside of my sons school and his school, the kids had to shelter in place because someone had taken out a gun, were not talking about the mean streets or anything here, this is a Public School and were there. One reason i think people are going to their outposts is people dont know what to do, but the thing i think is there could ever be any sort i dont want to say silver lining, but anything productive out of this, this has become so far reached that you have different communities, lgbt, parents, africanamericans, can all coalesce together and unite to really Pay Attention and get active about something in a united way. We have been disparate, five fingers on a hand make a fist, right . If there is anything productive that could come out of what happened is that disparate groups, because it is everywhere, it is outside of Elementary School and Greenwich Village and in a black church in South Carolina that were having gun issues that perhaps we can get some movement, maybe were there, maybe were at that moment. Amy, i consider myself an optimistic person by nature. I dont want to sound defeatist. But is the country capable of having a conversation about these incidents . We talked about after sandy hook, if it wasnt going to change after sandy hook, when, god, would it ever change . Not just talking about guns, but about how we talk about these things. Right, and it feels like a lot of people are talking past one another. And when we talk about what was the story on sunday, i would add to that list, the 49 people who lost their lives. And that each and every single one of those people has a story. When i read them, when i see their photos, you know, it chokes you up and it makes you feel emotional. I would hope in solidarity with our fellow americans, one of the things that has been disappointing for me is to see how quickly we fractured and did go to our battle stations as you put it and tried to come together to try to find some reasonable, sensible solutions where we can all find consensus, one area i think we need to focus on is national security, law enforcement, it was frustrating to me that our fbi director said that at this point he cant see what the fbi would do differently. I would say, well, 49 people would actually ask you to maybe, you know, change your approach here. So having that conversation, and also i think acknowledging that people of goodwill and good faith can have different opinions, but we have to have at least some marginal, some baseline trust in one another that were trying to find solutions. Anand, you mentioned donald trump, he had a difficult week, even outside of orlando. Some new polling coming out showing him trailing hillary clinton, bloomberg had him down 12 points, other polls, 6 points. When you look inside some of the demographic numbers in this Washington Post poll, it is pretty staggering. The unfavorable view africanamericans have of donald trump is 94 . Remember, he promised on the campaign trail he would win 20 or 25 of the africanamerican vote. Hispanics, 89 unfavorable numbers. How does he dig himself out of this, if he does . I dont know this is an easy thing to dig himself out of. I think if you run lets call a spade a spade, if you run an ethnic nationalist Political Campaign and it is really gone from being a dog whistle ethnic nationalist campaign to pretty explicit ethnic nationalist campaign, it is hard to win over the nationalities and edy ies a ethnicities on the other side. It is still pretty high for that kind of strategy and people have been saying for a year this kind of strategy could never get you these numbers. I think there is a story here also about a lot of people coming into the process, who are actually animated by an ethnic nationalist campaign. So i wouldnt be so sanguine about that strategy having no shot. I think for the Republican Party a kind of white strategy is not a great 50year plan. It may be good enough for right now. He has said, and he just told Hallie Jackson yesterday, alison if the party is with me, great, if not, i dont need them. I didnt need them in the primary. I dont need them now. Is he right about that . Ive been reading paul ryans twitter feed and there is no mention of donald trump, like for miles, talking about the Republican Party and its values, as sort of, like you said, a dog whistle of were not necessarily going to talk about that guy, that guy who we brought into the Grocery Store and is knocking pickle jars off the aisles, but you got to clean it up. Hes in your party. I, you know what, donald trump makes me do this i dont know. Maybe he can. Hes proven so many people wrong about so many other things. Amy, let me play a sound bite for you, trump speaking on saturday at a rally in phoenix, comparing himself to a supermodel. Check it out. I feel like a supermodel, except, like times ten, okay, its true. Im a supermodel. Im on the cover of the magazines. Im on the cover of the biggest magazines i dont even know about it. I cant even read the story because if i did, i wouldnt get any work done. The larger point is his celebrity is so big, he doesnt need anybody but himself to win. Yes, and hes also not a supermodel. I think going on the record with that, yes. I think we can establish that. I dont think hes right. I dont think that the data we have so far would support his analysis. He got it is true, he got the most votes of any republican contender for the nomination in history. He also got the most votes against him. And in the final analysis, we there was some, you know, early speculation and he was touting this and bringing new people into the Republican Party. That turns out not to be true. And that overall turnout in the democratic and republican primary was about equal and the republicans who voted for donald trump were already registered republicans who had voted in previous elections, just not in primaries. So donald trump does need those republicans and he also needs the center and a little bit of the center left if he wants to get past 50 . There is an establishment fantasy they somehow pry the nomination from his hands. Quickly, anybody see that happening . No. I would say if there is any chance of that happening, the person to me who could play a role now for the Republican Party is john mccain. A real moral leader, a person wh has braved things worse than losing an election, and who now seems unable to muster the courage to stand up for what he said is his own aversion. Tough reelection and even back in 2008, he was not by conservatives. In the abstract would you want that to happen, the person who gets the most votes, you want them to be the nominee. Stay with me for the highs and lows of the week, including the eighth grader whose graduation speech could double as an audition for snl. Wait until you hear this kid do trump and bernie. Good sunday morning to you. You can see no clouds here across the south bay and its warm. 60 degrees already. Its sunny across the entire bay today. Well see a very warm day. Temperatures ten degrees warmer than yesterday. About five at the coastline. That will put San Francisco at 75 today. Rest of the bay area, back into the 80s. Inland valleys today could see a few low 90s especially for the south bay and the trivalley. Ive made plans for later in case this date doesnt go well. Likewise but, funny story. On top of that . My mom is my best friend. Uh oh. Yeah. Oop theres the rescue text from my roommate saying she needs me. Wouldnt it be great if everyone said what they meant . The citi double cash card does.

Anand, alison and amy sticking around with me through the highs and low of the week. The outpouring of love showered upon the grandmother of one of the victims of the pulse nightclub shoot shaegs flew to orlando this week to attend the funeral of her grandson. Upon hearing the womans story, jetblue Flight Attendant kelly davis karros discreetly went up the aisle of the plane asking passengers to put their signature on a note of support. Instead, the passengers wrote pages and pages of notes, prayers and condolences, all presented to the grieving woman. The plane held a moment of silence for her grandson omar. Our first low goes to prince williams 90th Birthday Party etiquette. In a clip that burned up the web this week, Queen Elizabeth in lime green is seen reprimanding her grandson for not standing at attention during the trooping of the color parade, part of the celebration of the queens 90th birthday. William, preoccupied with young george in the moment snaps to his feet after a tap from grandma. Royal watchers noted the face palm from george after his old man was called out by the queen. Our next high flew through the air over a candlelight vigil in orlando this week. One woman was there mourning the loss of a friend, she snapped a picture. She counted exactly 49 birds matching the number of victims killed inside pulse nightclub. The photographer wished to remain anonymous but passed along this message, there were 49 birds, my friends, the fallen were with us tonight. Our next low comes from the pile of rubble off the vegas strip that used to be the Riviera Hotel and casino. A relic of the citys rat pack and mobster era. After 60 years in business, which included liberace as the first headliner and dean martin as a one time owner, the riv went to the great strip in the sky after a big public demolition. The land where it stood was bought for the expansion of the Las Vegas Convention center. Man, if that rubble could talk. Gratuitous demolition video. Whats wrong with me . There should be a Youtube Channel of just demolitions. Probably is. 100 probably is. Of course there is. Our next high, incredible, to graduating eighth grader jack aiello of illinois outside chicago. During a graduation speech in front of his middle school, jack killed with impersonations of president obama, donald trump, ted cruz and bernie sanders. He led off naturally with trump. And let me just tell you that this has been a great school. Were learning languages from spain, from france, from germany, and china. Let me start by saying this, god bless the great school of thomas let me start with the lunches. They are delicious things like pizza, tacos and chips, you name it and some of the best Cinnamon Rolls ive ever tasted i though have one improvement for them though, we need to make them free hes got the message, the gestures. Move over larry david. Senator ted cruz watched it and tweeted, okay, this kid is funny. Nicely done. And congrats on graduating. Our final low is the feeling you get when Charlie Sheen takes the moral high road on you. Appearing on the bbcs Graham Norton show, sheen called donald trump a charlatan. Sheen asked an expert to appraise the cuff links he was given. She took the loop, spent about four seconds and kind of recoiled from it, much like people do from trump, and so she says, in their finest moment, this is cheap pewter, and bad zirconias. Advertised as platinum and have trump emblazoned on those. Sheen owns those. Im surprised theyre not gold. Fantastic. Thank you so much. Anand, happy fathers day, my friend. And to you. Up next, the sports guy, bill simmons built a huge following at espn and had a big public breakup with the network. Tells us what hes got planned now and head over to facebook for a Facebook Live chat in just two minutes. Well be right back. Look at all these purchases you made with your Airline Credit card.

Temperatures are going to be warm about ten degrees from where they were yesterday. Get ready for a very hot day inland. 90s for inland valleys. 80s around the inner bay. 70s at the coastline like San Francisco today. Up to 75 degrees. Yesterday up to 71. So there will be some spots that dont warm as dramatic at the coastline today. But still inland, yesterday san jose got up to 79. Today close to 90. Youll feel it once you get toward 3 00, 4 00, this afternoon. Remember that spf as you get going this morning. Find a good restaurant to have a fathers day lunch with air conditioning. Definitely ac on tap today. Anthony, thanks. New this morning, an overnight fire burned a church and businesses in oakland. The threealarm fire ignited shortly after 11 00 last night at a strip mall on walnut street not far from interstate 580. The Oakland Fire Department tells us at least three buildings are heavily damaged, a church, a warehouse and realty office. No word on how that fire started. To another fire, a developing story in San Francisco where a firealarm fire burned six buildings and displaced 40 people. Crews were on scene all afternoon and all night. The fire ignited 2 30 yesterday afternoon at mission and 29th street. It was contained after several hours although firefighters remain there to monitor flareups. Witnesses tell us they couldnt believe how quickly the fire grew. We heard the fire trucks came and then kind of explosion. Saw the roof just smoke billowing off of it. Then we watched the flames run across. Those who were impacted are getting help from the american red cross. Two people were taken to the hospital and had to be treated for smoke inhalation and a baby was treated at the scene. The cause of that fire also still under investigation. It is winner take all. Either warriors or cavaliers will be celebrating an nba championship tonight. The game at oracle arena begins at 5 00. Resale tickets are breaking records.

Tonight is the deciding game seven of the nba finals between lebrons Cleveland Cavaliers and steph currys golden state warriors. Bill simmons rose to fame covering games like this one, not from the press box, but from his living room. He built a huge following, which includes 5 million twitter followers by writing from the fans point of view, mixing sports and pop culture, and turning traditional sports writing upside down. After a long run at espn, simmons is launching out on his own, and into late night. I spent some time with him on the eve of his next big move. Bill simmons may be the biggest name in sports, who doesnt wear a uniform. Im bill simmons and heres what i believe. The former bartender turned blogger turned espn star created his own universe with millions of fans. Im basically a bartender and writer and somebody who does podcasts. Simmons world now includes his own show on hbo, a long way from his sports guy beginnings. You get your masters in journalism at boston. Yes. You work for the boston herald. I did, for three years. What was that job like . Was it frustrating to you to be there, watching guys who you didnt think maybe were quite as talented or as good a writer. It wasnt a meritocracy, im competitive, i should have a column, i was probably a total [ bleep ]. How old are you . Early 20s. Yeah. But fortunately for me, the internet was in its nascent stage, but i was able to get online with the sports column and then took a while, but it snowballed. You can only read it if you had an aol address, a little limiting. Yeah. And then finally espn came calling. I remember when i first read your columns, i was, like, oh, this guys speaking the way i speak, hes talking the way i talk to my friends, hes making karate kid references, rocky 4 references. But before that, sports columns came from the press box, right, and were handed down. And the feeling with you is that you were in the bleachers with us and you were i literally was. They wouldnt let me in the press box. I know, i know. Simmons writing won him nanz high places, including a new late night host named jimmy kimmel. So jimmy was a fan of your column. Yeah. Thats got to be a cool phone call to get. Jimmy kimmel loves you and wants you to write for his show. Jimmy likes anyone who likes him. Thats why he called you, okay. And hes, like, i think abc is going to give me a show. I want to hire you to write for it. Im thinking, like, from here . Hes, like, no, no, you got to move to l. A. Midseptember. 75. I just totally got seduced. After a year with kimmel, simmons left amicably to work full time for espn where he built a personal empire within the empire itself. There was a popular podcast, a website built around him, the acclaimed documentary series 30 for 30, a number one bestselling book, and a spot as an nba analyst alongside magic johnson. Just be bored. I would be, like, magic, seriously, you didnt show up for the 86 finals. We can all agree, right . We didnt show up. Wrestle mania 1 is one of my highlights. The sports guy who couldnt get a press pass suddenly was in the room with everyone from childhood hero larry byrd to the president of the united states. For the record, simmons says he was more nervous to interview bird. My favorite basketball player of all time, mr. Larry bird. But the outspoken voice that made simmons famous also got him into trouble. Goodell, if he doesnt know what was on that tape, hes a liar. Im just saying it, hes lying. I think that dude is lying. If you put him up on a lie detector test, he would fail. Simmons dared his espn bosses to punish him after those comments. The network took him up on it. And suspended him for three weeks. And finally, last year, espn said it would not renew simmons contract. According to espn, the split wasnt for what simmons said, it was his lack of respect for the company. You obviously left espn under terms that werent dictated by you. You found out on twitter, i guess, you were parting ways. Thats kind of a misnomer. Really . Yeah. You knew before the twit, te the message. I knew months before. It was like a cat and mouse game. But the official announcement was yeah, there was stuff going on behind the scenes. But it is all good. I was mad at the time, but it was i knew i was leaving. And i had a great run there. And, you know, got to do some great things and they certainly allowed me to succeed and thrive for a long time, i think probably longer than the over under was. Simmons spent the year since his breakup with espn plotting his next move. Last month, he launched a new website called the ringer. I believe that every dicaprio movie would be just a little bit better as a matt damon movie. Beginning this week, he hosts his own show, any given wednesday, on hbo. So you talk celebrities, athletes, anybody you want to talk to is in this. Athletes are tougher. You have to get creative with actors. Most of them are trained not to be interesting. Day after day after day after day, they have to teach themselves to not say anything. I dont know why i have this skill, but im good at getting people to say stuff that afterwards, like, [ bleep ], shouldnt have said that. I think you probably have this too where it is like when youre genuinely interested in somebody, it makes them want to tell you stuff. Exactly. Thats one of the goals is to have a show where, you know, people that im interested in, you know, it is my world. I dont want to go on location and be on and play a road game on somebody elses turf. Come to my place and lets talk. With that said, i would totally go to the white house. In a second. Michelle obama, done, were going to washington. First show. Road game. Blow up the format. Im in. That begs the question, who is the dream guest for any given wednesday . The dream guest would be tupac. I go with dead people first. Shooting high. How about the hologram. To bring back a dead person would be my dream guest. That would make some news. Lets rank these three sports movies. Yeah. Hoosiers, rocky 4, and karate kid. Karate kid is too 80s. Feels really dated. Rocky 4 has not held up well. I would go rocky 3 out of all three of those. As simmons steps out on this new capto thechapter. Hell have one man on his side. I love roadhouse. It is incredible. I like having him in here for the meetings. He calms it down. Hes always looking at me with an approving smile. Thats a good look. I feel like hes watch ing over the office. Like, good job, keep it up. Your show is going to work. You got this, man. The show is going to work. After a preshow pep talk from that swayze cardboard cutout, simmons will welcome as his first guest on wednesday night fellow boston fan ben affleck and charles barkley. It airs at 10 00 p. M. On hbo. To see my full interview with bill, including where he thinks lebron james and the warriors rank in history, check out our web extras at today. Com sunday.

My Yoga Instructor calls it the death spiral. I call it living the dream. American express presents the blue cash everyday card with cash back on purchases and no annual fee. Get cash back with american express. I grew up in new jersey, roaming the food courts at paramus park and Garden State Plaza so a World Without malls is inconceivable to me. But as american Shopping Habits change that world may be on the horizon. Morgan radford looks into the demise of an american institution. Once a place to get malled the mall used to be the place you went with your friends. You could be without your parents. It was the place to hang out. But that place we once met facetoface is increasingly fading. It was, you know, Orange Julius and waldenbooks, and Spencer Gifts. Do you remember Spencer Gifts . The mall is no longer the cool, interesting, fun, hip thing to do. Its just not. The 90s mall rats culture the easter bunny court is down at the other end of the mall. Its been up since two days after christmas. Captured by indy filmmaker kevin smith now looks as much like a time capsule as that black and white video store in the movie clerks. What are you looking for . Today, Many American malls have slowed to a crawl. Shopped till they were dropped. By people like new mom ally newsome. You used to work at the mall. I did. I worked at j. Crew for a little bit. All right. Step down. But now with 1 1 2yearold sumner, ally is for a more propose out of the box. Look do you ever miss it, going to the mall, the whole experience . I just, not really. It just depends. If i have to, like roll up to the mall, bring stroller, diaper bag, get the baby in and out of the car and then shopping bags, like thats a lot. The day we showed up at her door, so did i could not make this up. Its actually for me, yes. Thank you. This is for you, too. Have a good day, sir. So weve got bed, bath and beyond. Weve got pampers. I know. Its part of a growing trend. Almost 10 of all retail sales are done online. Contributing to the growing number of socalled dead malls across the country. Some now overgrown, frozen in time, like ohios once thriving Rolling Acres mall. Haunting images of these onetime american icons of consumerism, captured by photographers and shared online. In the past six years, more than two dozen shopping malls have been shuttered. 60 more are on the verge of disappearing, and 15 are expected to close their doors in the next decade. Whats happened has been almost a survival of the fittest. Like a, you know, a high versus low. High end malls, experts say, are thriving. While everyday suburban malls are disappearing with a shrinking middle class. A shift that may be less about convenience, and more about culture. So no mall . No. No. These teens say malls today just arent cool. What do you think when you find out that your parents used to go to the mall to hang out . Kind of whack. Yeah. Look at them like they were crazy. So what do you use most to connect with your friends . Snapchat. When i was in high school, you wanted to go to the mall because you kind of want to be seen. Where do you go if you want to see a cute boy or maybe meet a cute boy. That just doesnt exist anymore . I dont go to the mall i guess. No one really goes there. Its whack. Its whack. If you have a nice house, you can do posts. Now malls are also getting a new shop. Some as offices, hospitals, and remember Rolling Acres in ohio . Not far away, you could square mall is resurrected as a church. Thank you, father, that you no longer look for buildings to dwell in. Given all these changes we decided to ask the experts. Weve seen studies that show that american malls are dying. Youre there every single year. Are they . I can tell you that the american mall is not dying. Here we go. Santa says, sure, malls across america have evolved, sometimes its the big, big giants in clothes and other times its wide open. Outdoors like this . Outdoors like this. But in the end, he believes malls are a part of the american tradition. Here to stay. Just like him. Morgan radford reporting alongside santa claus with us this morning. Coming up next on sunday today, a shooting at a mosque in connecticut last year, and the unlikely bond built since between the shooter, and his targets that night.

The number one pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. In the midst and aftermath of horrible incidents like the shooting in orlando a week ago we often find extraordinary heroism and amazing grace. At pulse nightclub, partiers turned into amateur medics, saving lives in the chaos. In charleston, families of the victims face the shooter to somehow offer their forgiveness. Mary smith has the story of the surprising awakening that came out of one shooting last year. Ted hakey jr. Has admitted he had too much to drink that night. Hed been posting antimuslim messages on facebook for months. And enraged by the scenes unfolding in france, he grabbed a gun, aimed next door, and pulled the trigger. The bullet came straight through the prayer hall. Through the internal dividing wall, and out through the womens side, as well. Penetrated three walls. The marine veteran was arrested and pled guilty to a hate crime. But in the months since, something remarkable happened. Would it be safe to say that you were guilty of stupidity . Absolutely, of course. Of ignorance. Because if i had not gone next door and realized what they were all about, wouldnt even have been a question. After the shooting hakey requested to meet with the mosques leaders. He asked them for their forgiveness. Put discredit upon myself, the marine corps, everything i stand for. It just isnt me. And they did forgive me. To my congregation, im going to ask you to greet and meet and hug mr. Hakey, and mrs. Hakey. Just like a muslim should treat his or her neighbor. The enemy next door became a friend. In fact he became more than a friend. First he was a shooter. And then he was our neighbor. And then he was a friend. And he became my brother when he prayed with me side by side and bowed his head in prayer. And he didnt have to do that. A lot of the muslims are very offended that their religion is being hijacked by people that dont follow the koran. Thats what we need to realize, when you do see muslims youre not so, you know, oh, stepping away. You need to get educated, and the only way to beat this is with them on our side. Friday morning, ted hakey jr. Was in court to learn what sentence hed receive for his crime. Also at the courthouse, members of the mosque he shot at. We were here to show our support, with mr. Hakey who is our new friend. They were there because they believe hakey does not deserve jail time. He shot a gun at your congregation. But that your house of worship. But he was ignorant. But now that he knows, his heart is probably changed. And you know, if one person at a time, as we call it, one drop in the ocean, but you know, 150 million to go. So well keep going. Neither hakey nor his neighborhoods have made any effort to become acquainted. They were strangers, content to be apart. And that, they acknowledge, was a mistake. Loving your neighbor is something that creates solace and tranquilly in society and understanding. So, you want to reach out to them to create that dialogue, and to create that seed of love. We teach our children that oftentimes the things they fear are simply unfamiliar. Hatred for muslims, or hatred for gays, or hatred for anyone who seems to be something other than ourselves is based in that kind of fear. A fear of convenience. Because sometimes, its just easier to hate than it is to find out who lives next door. And harry smith joins me now live. A remarkable 180 turndaround for ted hakey. Is the remorse real . Thats a real good question, right . The judge did sentence him to six months. Hes already done some time so it wont be six months. Its less than the guidelines would suggest. He was hoping, i think, that you see the remorse that i have, you see that im a changed person, and that would have a larger influence. Amazing to be in the courtroom, and here are half a dozen members of this congregation sitting there, the head of the congregation gets up and talks to the judge and says this guy, this guy is remorseful already. Where do they find that forgiveness, harry, for somebody who raised a rifle and shot into their place of worship . You know what . I think he came to them, he said i want to talk to those people. And they believe that hes sincere. He says that when he gets out of prison, hell come back and hes going to work with his neighbors, and hes going to talk to folks who would not have believed this kind of thing could have happened. What a story. Harry smith, thank you and happy fathers day my friend. Same to you, sir. This week we highlight another life well lived.
