so, god, remember. on november 6-- a day which you are already in and will always be in for a time of eternity-- vote mitt romney. but bring photo i.d. because they're really cracking down. i'm stephen colbert and i pray this message. we'll be right back. (cheers and applause) we asked over 3,000 doctors to review 5-hour energy and what they said is amazing. over 73 percent who reviewed 5-hour energy said they would recommend a low calorie energy supplement to their healthy patients who use energy supplements. seventy-three percent. 5-hour energy has four calories and it's used over nine million times a week. is 5-hour energy right for you? ask yodoctor. we already asked 3,000.

thank you, god bless you and god bless theses united states. god bless you is good but a caught that caught my ear. when he said. the road may be longer. now let me think about that. four years ago we started on the same road. four years later, the road is longer? how deco does a road get longer if you are traveling on it four years already. does that mean we have gone back wards and we will try again to catch up. maybe that would tell us what we need to know in november if we are further behind as we started on the road just a thought from my part. >> all week long democrats are asked to decide if americans were better off than they were four years ago. >> president obama took office and the economy was in free fall and shrunk nine full percent of the gdp and losing 750,000 jobs a month. are we doing better than that today? the worry is yes. >> that is a big surprise. i am glad he revealed that to us. 23 million americans out of work and 365,000 out of the work force i guess a lot of us are not seeing it all stack up that we are doing better.

oh, my god. oh, my god. oh, my god! he still thinks we can make this work. so america sat down, leaned forward and waited to see if he would deliver that old obama magic. >> we believe that when a c.e.o. pays his auto workers enough to buy the cars that they built, the whole company does better. we believe that when a family can no longer be tricked into signing a mortgage they can't afford, that family's protected, but so is the value of other people's homes. we believe the little girl who is offered an escape from poverty by a great teacher on a grant for college could become next steve jobs. >> jon: ♪ we believe we can fly ♪ he had it again. but every moment of soaring rhetoric was tempered with a more sober reality. >> i won't pretend the path i am offering is quick or easy. i never have. >> jon: ♪ we believe we can fly. . but obviously flying carries with it some inherent risk. in 2008, candidate obama painted a beautiful and vivid picture that no artist could have brought to life. much in the way when you go to a golden coral, the beautiful choco

eastern, past my bedtime. >> god bless you! and god bless america! (cheers and applause) >> jon: don't stop thinking about tomorrow, kuses it's a half hour from now. (laughter) but along with pure stamina, bill clinton wednesday fight brought something to this campaign season that has been missing. >> came from a place where people still thought 2 and 2 was 4. >> jon: math. numbers. i never thought i would say this but i have missed you so much, math. >> an amazing display of actually saying stuff, more specific numbers in one speech last night than the republican leadership did in an entire week in tampa. >> what has the president done. he has offered a reasonable plan of four trillion dollars in debt reduction over a decade for every two and a half trillion dollars in spending cuts, he raises a dollar in new revenue,. >> jon: oh ratios. mathematical parameters from which to extrapolate results. not that the republicans did not have a plan to start off the nation's economic problems. >> we are going to solve this nation's economic problems. we need

thank you, god bless you and god bless theses united states. god bless you is good but a caught that caught my ear. when he said. the road may be longer. now let me think about that. four years ago we started on the same road. four years later, the road is longer? how deco does a road get longer if you are traveling on it four years already. does that mean we have gone back wards and we will try again to catchp. maybe that would tell us what we need to know in november if we are further behind as we started on the road just a thought from my part. >> all week long democrats are asked to decide if americans were better off than they were four years ago. >> president obama took office and the economy was in free fall and shrunk nine full percent of the gdp and losing 750,000 jobs a month. are we doing better than that today? the worry is yes. >> that is a big surprise. i am glad he revealed that to us. 23 million americans out of work and 365,000 out of the work force i guess a lot of us are not seeing it all stack up that we are doing better. ga

i thought of atticus as the god figure. the prodigal son story is a god figure and a human being figure. >> hansen's "assassination of jesse james" exploration the relationship between the legendary outlaw played in the film adaptation by brad pitt -- >> open that safe. >> -- and bob ford, an outlaw who once worshipped james. >> can't figure it out. you want to be like me? or you want to be me? >> it's about hero worship and how you kill the things you love. i think buddha once said, you must kill all your teachers. i think that's what was going on with bob ford and jesse james. >> hansen draws on the biblical story of cain and abel. when bob ford shoots jessie james in the back, ford, who expected to be praised for that, was instead reviled. >> how do you become, for a short time, a hero, then become one of the most loathsome personalities in the world? >> like cain, a fugitive and volkswagen vagabond on the earth yes. once you do that, how do you redeem yourself? >> does bob ford find redemption? >> he doesn't, no. >> he

"god," that makes one religious but the rule of god, and that must be --. >> we are endowed by our creator and it was in the 2008 platform. it was seven times in the 2004 platform. they purposely took it out and the delegates wanted it out. >> maybe it should have been in the creed in the first place. >> dick morris and bill o'reilly talking about the changes and the significance of putting the two words back in. >> it is to me very significant that the president went so far as to say, i want jerusalem back in but not, i want --. >> does he not need the jewish vote in florida? >> he is so, i believe he things jews don't care about israel and i think he is so mesmerized by his ball last towards the palestinians he cannot help himself. >> you say he put jerusalem back. >> but he did not put hamas back. >> no one care about hamas. >> they are the leading terrorist organization in the middle east. >> you and seven other guys don't care but god and jerusalem are big but i believe president obama called them up and said stop this right now. >> that conversation is not ending there. that is what

this is an insult, not only to god-fearing americans but to god himself. folks, he's very sensitive. (laughter) and read your bible, he's got a hair trigger. one look at a golden cap and your canteen is full of blood. and of course the democrats cannot hide what they've done from god. because he googles himself constantly. (laughter) and, and ladies and gentlemen, if dising god were not enough, the democrats also dissed god's hometown. >> four years ago the platform clearly recognized jerusalem as the perpetual capital of israel. but nowhere in this year's platform does that statement exist. >> why would they remove that jerusalem should be the capital of israel at a time of such high tensions in the middle east especially with iran. >> to cease calling jerusalem the capital of israel, this is a very troubling development. >> stephen: this is a very troubling development. (laughter) >> to committed zyonists like a sean handities and me. jerusalem or ye you werea, layim as we call it, the st eternal cap tafl the jewish state and we must stand by our jewish

>> and god gets booed in the dnc. why was god such a sore topic in the convention. and i didn't say he said that. the democrat party chair caught lying about israel's view of republicans. israel's deputy speaker respond. and chuck noris said the president is fundmentally transforming america. >> we can no longer sit quietly and watch our country go the way of socialism or something worse. chuck noris against a second term of president obama. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. hello, everybody. and what a great audience we have here today and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. here is a confession we want to make to start the show. i am really, really glad that the political conventions are over! look, it is not that i am unhappy or don't care about politics, i do. unlike some people who eat it up in the way a spectator or overweight man in the man cave in front of the big screen tv and cheatos watching nfl. i like politics and i know what it is like to be on the field, but i have to tell you my favorite moment of all of the po

for me god was definitely involved every step of the way. there was no way we could have recovered the city without his hand being involved in it. >> the story of new orleans's recovery still being written. a new report estimated 8,000 properties repaired or rebuilt from september 2010-march 2011. for the first time in seven years, the city no longer tops the list of the most blighted in america. >> we are still dealing with our struggles. for the most part, we are pretty much back. >> many bright spots to new orleans recovery, there are still dark spots, and the rebuilding in the lower ninth ward. fred looter is the preacher at this church. it took two years to rebuild his church home. however back in the lower ninth ward, overgrown trees cover the lot where looter's childhood home once stood. naggin stays away from the city. he is greatful for its most unalmosted visitor, hurricane katrina. >> it strengthened me in my faith. i prayed even more during katrina and the aftermath. it sustained me to this day. >> efrem graham, cbn news, new orl

we need god. we're joining hands together with a wonderful audience, in the beginning of the new year of israel, rosh hashanah. father, we come before you lu humbly. we confess our sins, lord. we, as a nation, have violated the vo covenant we made with you. we have ignored your blessings. we have taken them for granted. we have squandered the resources you gave us, and we have engaged in activities and conduct which is obnoxious and objectionable in your sight. we have violated the covenant you made with this nation. we pray for your forgiveness, and we ask, lord, that you might cleanse our hearts, that you might forgive our sins and heal our land. we pray for america, land. and during this time of year, god, give us righteous leaders and give us wisdom, we pray, and lead us by the hand of god that your blessing might be restored to this great nation that you love, and to the people who are your people. bless god, this land that all of us love, in jesus' name we ask it. thank you, lord. amen. and

god bless you and god bless the united states. there was a part of that that really caught my ear and it's when he said the road ahead may be longer. now, let me think about that a minute. four years ago, we started on this same road. four years later, the road is longer? how does a road get longer if you've been travelling on it for four years already. does that mean we've actually gone backwards p and start all over again to try to catch up? maybe that would tell us all we need to know about how to vote in november, if we're actually further behind than we were when we started off the road. just a thought for my part. [applause]. all week long democrats are asked whether americans with better off than they were four years ago. president barack obama took office, the economy was 9 full percent of gdp. we were losing 750,000 jobs, are we doing better than at that today? the answer is yes. >> that's a big surprise to most americans. i'm glad he revealed that to us, with 23 million american out of work and 368,000 dropping completel

so, god, remember. on november 6-- a day which you are already in and will always be in for a time of eternity-- vote mitt romney. but bring photo i.d. because they're really cracking down. i'm stephen colbert and i pray this message. we'll be right back.

[applause] to the values voters summit. [applause] we are going to have a panel discussion and coming to been to the to introduce the panelist is the senior vice president of frc action where he regularly in cages with congress on issues such as education, tax reform, faith based initiatives and the sanctity of marriage. and for all of his good work, he was once named by keefer olberman as the worst person in t

and i explained to her, god, there's only one - i love god, i respect jesus, he's god too. but i feel that hinduism has answered all the questions that i've had, as opposed to christianity that has not answered all my questions. >> well, we've been talking in our class about religious experience. is there a way that you might define the spiritual aspect, the spiritual experience when say you're in meditation or in prayer, something of that sort? >> the spiritual experience that you encounter is just of pure love and pure bliss. and then, that feeling that you bring, you try to share it with the world, you try to bring it to the world. it's not something that, you keep it inside - you want to live your spirituality; you don't want to just go to church or any temple or anyplace, say off your prayers and then go out of the building and do all the wrong things. and by wrong things, i'm talking about greed and power and lust - all the negative vibrations or thoughts. god is pure love, and when you encounter another human being who god has made, you treat him accordingly, even if

the idea that god, the god whom we worship, was once a human being and then grew to be god, grew to godhood, will strike most evangelical christians as being blasphemous. >> reporter: another fundamental difference is that mormons rely on more than just the bible for the word of god. >> certainly mormons don't believe in the bible as the only word of god. they believe in an open canon and that god continues to speak to prophets today. >> they believe in continuing revelation. they have three other books, the book of mormon, the pearl of great price and a book called doctrines and covenants, and evangelical christians would never accept that those books are inspired or the word of god or are prophetic. >> so i often say that the bad news about mormonism is that they believe in continuing revelation. the good news about mormonism is that they believe in continuing revelation. they might actually, in continuing revelation, begin to modify and alter some of the things that they see themselves as having received in earlier revelation. >> reporter: mormon theology has changed over the years after

but you can't fault progressives who don't want god in government when they believe god is government. it's competition. competition to them. the reason why the media isn't after this, they believe it, too. having covered dnc the drug dealer getting -- >> andrea: wait i want to react. mark halperin said there is no liberal bias. they fixed it. move on. here is him explaining. >> change in the platform, i don't think it's liberal bias of the media, the story is pretty much done, because they fixed it. >> bob: let me say i got a call, rather irate call this morning from nobody. because i said on the show yesterday when the yeas and nays were called in my own convention in '84, i did not say this convention, i said in my convention we figured out ways to cut the nays down and yeas up. the inference is that is what happened. they were not going to allow it to go to a vote. it was very clear. the way you do it is you don't stammer. get somebody up there who knows what the rules are about. yep. >> andrea: let them do what they are going to do. >> eric: point to the teleprompter what the dec

that the government protects our god given because if they were god given then why were they god given you know two hundred years ago when you know when we kept black people as slaves or when women couldn't vote when i was god then yeah very well so i thought it was a terrible capitulation you know just embarrassing embarrassing i'm totally with you and it explicitly implies a monotheistic bronze age god rather than gods or order and it excludes atheist as well it's on a quest for brilliant analysis thank you for joining us tonight thanks for having me john. just. it's the good the bad of the very very soft and i actually oddly the good actor peter bourne born was the drug policy advisor to president jimmy carter in an interview with newsweek this week born to act president obama's current drug policy calling the administration's approach to marijuana totally insane elses of the federal government should be taking a hands off approach when it comes to marijuana policy in the states it's time lawmakers in washington d.c. listen to born instead of worrying about the real issues in stead

the indication that because god is not in the platform, therefore, democrats are godless or hate god. i think the implication is what the senator was responding to. despite the fact that the platform goes on and on about faith. faith has always been part of the story. the word god isn't there but the other side is trying to make so much of this, they are trying to make the point democrats are the godless party. is that going to get people jobs? that's what republicans always say. megyn: people care about the elimination of god in the public square and that does concern a lot of americans. it did raise eyebrows that it was in and it was affirmatively taken out. he wasn't passing a judgment he was was asking why. why do you think he touched such a nerve? >> very defensive and touchy. this is a touchy issue with democrats. one of the terms senator durbin used was god-fearing political party. they airbrushed the word god out of the democratic platform. we found out about it yesterday. today they canceled their big stadium event for fear they would be struck by lightning. but the reality i

, even god got booed. would god want to be identified with a pro-abortion, pro same sex marriage, 16 trillion dollar debt? i don't think so. but and then the whole jerusalem thing, the media never brings this up. every administration says that jerusalem is the capital and then the state department doesn't recognize it, so, it's all phony baloney and they were off script, which was the big story in this, this got out of hand and unable to control it. >> and then the spins about what happened here, and whether it was an oversight or an accident, whether president obama had approved the platform, that was shot down. and then, we were told that he personally intervened to put god and jerusalem back in. >> right. >> and if this had been a republican convention and every reporter would have swarmed the platform and the republicans, and tick-tock, tick-tock, instead. abc most astonishing on this. david muer took caroline kennedy aside and she's not elected, and said do you think if uncle ted were here today, do y

he was a god. nothing was beyond his means. when tutankhamun sat upon his throne, thousands of years of history and achievement had already preceded him. surely a nation that could bring itself into being and create wonders like the great pyramids could overcome man's final enemy--death. and overcome death tutankhamun has--at least according to the ancient egyptian funerary beliefs, for the very act of speaking his name provides magic to infuse tutankhamun with everlasting life. names were important to the egyptians. a name symbolized one's personality and even one's very existence. to remember the dead was to make them live again. and soutankhamun must, for the whole world has known his name ever since that day in november of 1922, when archeologist howard carter anhis patron, lord carnarvon, tued a forgotten pharaoh into a legend. the story of tutankhamun's treasures begins here in the secret valley of the kings in egypt, across the river from the ancient capital of thebes. the valley of the kings is hot and very dry. in the

he is the living word of god. he is the final voice of god. friend, god is not going say anything else. he said everything that needs to be said. all i need to do now is just open my heart and ears and listen. what has been said has been said. it is now settled. jesus spoke. it is closed. i don't need to hear, i don't need to look for another revelation, i have got the revelation. you have the revelation, god help us now just to do and believe and receive what we already have. but god speaks through jesus his son. now in the second part of the verse two, god appointed jesus, the heir of all thing. when we appointed of all things, god did this for jesus. jesus now is receiving and will receive a great inheritance. but here is the thing, listen to this, you and i get to share in that inhair train. ant that great? what god gives to jesus, he turns and and shares it with us: now i need to find out who god has given jesus. it says in romans 8: 17 this you--that you and i are heirs and follow heirs. everything that god gives to jesus, you and i get

god is not a toy. others have really got to stop voicing their opinion and there are plenty who are. for example, i'm part of patheos.com, they object strenuously to what the republicans are doing by trying to use god in a last ditch effort to fool evangelical right-wing christians, fox ewers to somehow believe that they are fighting against a president who is anti-christian. this is a lie. it was a lie when the bishop said it about contraceptive availability for women working for roman catholic constitutions and it's a lie now. but it's a filthy lie because it trades on the currency. talk about taking god off the coin, it's a religion to bolst the campaign because they are despising the poor. i'm just tired of it. >> when you say bulk up like he does with billionaires, how exactly do you mean that they are using god and religion to bulk up his campaign? >> look, the republicans understand that they are losing this race because sensible americans like social security and medicaid and they are tired of

and center our thoughts on god. merciful god who has been our dwelling place for many generations, we invoke your presence to ask you to quicken our hearts that we may be swift to hear the needs of others. oh, god, let us not be weary in well-doing as we confront the ancient enemies again in justice, poverty, apathy, racism and sexism and an evil violence that stains the tapestry of the 21st century with the blood of the innocent and unsuspecting. remind us again of the brave dreams that were born in the heart of our ancestors, the dreams they were willing to live and die for. grant us courage to continue to flesh out their dreams and grant us the wisdom to reshape the strategy for this present age. empower us to work to save our children because if we do not, no one else will. guide us to make the sunset years of our seniors a season of dignity. without them having to choose between shelter, sustenance and prescription drugs. do not allow women to be enslaved by prehistoric ideas about biological function. if we fa

thank god fox news is on it, pushing the button, sayingy where is "god" in the platfor platform? >> dana: i don't think it's just that. i think that president obama woke up this morning and said what in the world are you people doing? fix it. >> greg: i think that the platform people, dnc platform disagreed with you. god is mentioned in the platform. his name is obama. >> bob: in the scheme of thing, the jewish issue may not impact it on one state. the rest of it will be forgotten. >> kimberly: you are talk about swing states.nia, floridas what matters in election. >> bob: what we think is big breaking news on god issue particularly, among evangelicals it may be a big issue but they're going to vote republican. >> kimberly: it could effect voter turn-out in other states. dais it shows extremely bad management not what you want to show going to a november re-election. people wonder do you deserve another four years? you can't manage the platform committee. >> greg: god will speak for himself on thursday. >> bob: when romney wanted his platform changed on the issue of abortion to i

god was mentioned once in 2004 it was mentioned 7 times in 2000 god was mentioned 7 times. the question is why it is taken out. >> i am say to go you trying to draw some conclusion that you are godless. >> i am not suggesting i am asking the question why was the word takien out? >> we know both parties are devoted to this country both parties are god fearing parties let's go back to the agenda in this country. >> both sides of that one you know but i expect we haven't heard the last of that. >>> would you say yes after this? a guy fakes his own death and then what does he do? he pops the question. >> it is a chance to answer the question of the day. do you want another four years of an obama administration. your e-mails are coming up next. first check in with brian kilmeade to see what's coming up on "fox & friends". >> great show as usual. my question today would be would i want two hours of fox and friends first which means we start at 4 ax m. coming up on our show for the next three hours we are talking to paul ryan to get instant analysis of day one of the dnc. we will
