evangelical protestants. how do we get here and was already happening before trump came along and augmented it? >> you know, i do think that the roots of what we are experiencing now go back decades. i traced some of this in the book that there were precursor narratives that set us up for a trump -like figure to come on the stage. those narratives are grievance to base. they are coming from a place of perception that you are losing power, you are losing influence and fear, fear that your role in society is being taken away as well as i sat through sermons back in 2012, the 2012 campaign told the pastors would be able to teach the bible in our country anymore if you voted for barack obama. that fear that we'll lose our ability to practice our religion, if you look at the
person in that courtroom. that honor belongs to his honor, judge juan who the country is becoming increasingly familiar with and he is going to make donald trump face the music. in the overall context of american history, this is the first time in nearly 250 years of our history that the president of the united states is on criminal trial. this is big stuff historically. judge juan merchan is a big figure historically because he is beginning the accountability process as it relates to donald trump. >> i have enjoyed this conversation with both of you. please come back together, separately, but i want to see both again soon. thank you so much.
bryn's status as a national icon means he was personally chosen by king charles to perform at his coronation. cheering bryn terfel�*s towering presence and booming voice is also effective offstage. he's a big champion of the arts and relishes bringing music to the public. i think we're in a time when lots of cultural institutions and classical music itself, perhaps, is being called into question. what's the value of it? is it too elitist? and a figure like bryn is what we need — somebody who symbolises, really, the power of communication and music. it's about showing people how important music is in all of our lives. he embodies that, and that is the most powerful advocacy he can perform for music. singing continues everything he does conveys that love of singing, and it's completely infectious. and the fact that he is passing that on to young singers makes total
behind me is a tidal kite. it looks a bit like a glider because it's designed to fly through the water, and once it's installed on the seabed, it will be generating electricity using the current that flows through this stretch of water. weighing 28 tonnes and with a 12—metre wingspan, the newest dragon can deliver 1.2 megawatts of power. it's sort of like kitesurfing, but underwater. so we tether it off to the sea floor, foundation on the sea floor, and then it flies in a figure of eight. as underwater currents flow by, the kite's wings generate a hydrodynamic lift force, spinning the turbine and generating electricity. this design�*s very different to other types of tidal technology. so what's the advantage of a design like this one? we can install and operate and produce power in low flow currents with lightweight machines. although it looks big to the eye, this is actually a very small tidal turbine. we've designed the system
think so anderson, this was one of the most searching scrutinise of each of these jurors that you could have asked for the judges scrupulously fair at times, i thought he was too fair to donald trump and he asked these jurors over 40 questions. >> they were examined re-examined by the parties. look, donald trump is a very well-known and very very polarizing figure but americans take it very seriously when they promised to be fair and independent. and i have seen juries over my decades of practicing law set aside that stuff that happens outside the courtroom. we also saw a huge number of jurors who said they couldn't be fair over half of each of the two panels that came in of 96 jurors stepping away because they felt they couldn't meet that standard 20 jurors excused over 24 peremptory challenges,
>> when the senate had this grand compromise, donald trump came out against it. and what do you know the entire house? republican caucus just moved in his direction, but donald trump is trying his best to tack to the middle at this point. he knows those persuadable voters in those swing states care deeply about this issue. but the issue is for him in the republican party, that extremist maga base is not necessarily moving with him. and that's what you see in each of those quotes. so the only way this passes tomorrow and it will pass will be with a majority of democratic votes. >> interestingly enough, blia figure johnson had an opportunity to raise that threshold to have that motion to vacate. he chose not to. will he regret it? >> i think he will regret it. i think that there will be problems and part of that is when you live by this word, you die by the sword and i think everything was fine and everything was dandy before he became speaker. once he stepped into that role, it's, it's essentially an impossible role because you can't play with
well, my anonymity it'd be compromised ibs, more like fear, right? that's now fear. will i be intimidated? what will happen afterwards one question that was asked by the prosecution of the pencil jurors over the course of the week was can you look at this defendant? can you look him in the eye and declare he is guilty? if we prove our case, now you're not going to have that most often happening, but the person the defendant here is a former president of the united states, particularly polarizing figure who has larger than life and places like manhattan and so this is a really unique matter. but the prosecution, they're rude teen proof has to be there still beyond a reasonable doubt, even if it's the defendant, donald trump. >> i'm curious for both of you, think of the presence of lawyers on this jury. i can see it either way, frankly. about yeah. everyone was lawyers everywhere lawyers, no offense or anything i'll be on truth. i actually have been on a jury as a lawyer. i was shocked. i said, i'm a criminal defense
new technology that hopes to revolutionise tidal power. this huge yellow thing behind me is a tidal kite. it looks a bit like a glider because it's designed to fly through the water, and once it's installed on the seabed, it will be generating electricity using the current that flows through this stretch of water. weighing 28 tonnes and with a 12—metre wingspan, the newest dragon can deliver 1.2 megawatts of power. it's sort of like kitesurfing, but underwater. so we tether it off to the sea floor, foundation on the sea floor, and then it flies in a figure of eight. as underwater currents flow by, the kite's wings generate a hydrodynamic lift force, spinning the turbine and generating electricity. this design's very different to other types of tidal technology. so what's the advantage of a design like this one? we can install and operate
this idea of, i want the base, i want one maga has to offer. i will hardline them on all kinds of things and then you get into congress. and what are you elected to do? your elected to govern when he governs, that's when he is being punished when he actually legislates, when he pushes through things because it's a necessity for whatever reason, whatever intention. >> but when your goal is obstructionism when your goal is simply to block whatever is in front of you, then you're not going to make anyone happy. >> and i think this is the conundrum that they're facing. this is what marjorie taylor greene was talking about when she said a civil war has erupted within the republican party. that is what mike johnson faces. and that's going to haunt him as long as he deviates from what megabase wants at this point in time, i mean by partisanship is maybe the longest four-letter word ever in washington, dc. but listen you, it's friday night, so we wanted to actually look back at the weekend words and ask both of you who said it out loud, you got paddles next to you. it's time for a game. here we go. all right, luck. >> i'm going to read a quote from a prominent figure. >> you'll get three options to
i think that clip shows a kind of deflation because until recently the hero of television was mike johnson who is a much more important figure and now that mike johnson has taken a art important turn they are forced to go down to the level of marjorie taylor green. it's not a good sign for them actually. >> thank you very much for coming to the last word. and coming up some republicans are trying to run from the chaos they helped donald trump create overturning roe v. wade and some republicans promise -- they promise you they will stop abortion. they aren't coming for more of your rights but other republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. that's next. there's the family name. 1892 wow. that one here is the boat they came over on. yes. wow.
