a kind of black utopia. they work together and every saturday they have music and they debate the philosophical issues of the day about what its next and black society. and mingo is a conservative voice. and landor addresses valentine farm. brother manco made some good points, but that does not mean we cannot try. sometimes a youthful delusion is better than a useless truth. here is one delusion that we can escape slavery. we cans. it's scars will never fade. when you saw your mother's sold off, your father beaten, your sister just why some boss or master, did you ever think that you would sit here today without chains? among a new family westmarkrens everything you ever knew told you that freedom was a trick. yet, here you are, still rerun, tracking by the good full moon to sanctuary. valentine farm is a delusion.t who told you that the negro deserved a place of refuge? who told you that you had that right? every minute of your life suffering has argued otherwise.b for every fact of history it can exist. th

greg: hey tom we keep hearing about america's utopia. what's the new show, comparing it to america at used to -- utopian university. venezuela is real life use topia going on right now. >> air focused on america. it's like anti-nationalism. they are critical people but they don't want to see the sadness in the world. things here are actually quite good. greg: venezuela can't afford toilet paper. and that's because socialism is pure.

we don't live in a communist by door utopia. kennedy: the name of the organization is trump. >> it's a big part of it. kennedy: there is a difference between running a private company and being president. >> absolutely. >> if eric were secretary of state i would have an issue. >> that's why he has been careful. kennedy: jared kushner is doing everything now. he's doing like 15 things. he's taking a light-handed approach. >> that we are hearing right now. but as far as what his day to day actual duties are is probably two different things. but as far as the in tim is concerned. you are right about the family businesses. we know liberals hate the idea of inherited wealth. they want to tax that away. the family -- i was talking with eric in the green room. they are good, kind people. and we should be thankful that family did turn out that way. >> the big difference between north korea, here we had an election and trump was round by his -- was surrounded by his family throughout the election and that question was asked and answered.

it's very easy to view other countries health care systems as utopias where all your health problems are fixed and you don't pay for it. taxpayers pay for it. even if you decided to say it was objectively better if there are always costs and benefits. host: call. republican. good morning. feel the only way we are going to solve this health care thing is the government's got to get their hands out of it. anything they get into is just .osting a lot of money it's just a money grab. so many people get their fingers into the pot. i think you by your insurance forever you want whether it is in this state or another state. the only thing the government should have is to put a cap on and whatn medication the insurance companies can charge. you'll get everything down where it belongs. thank you. host: the government should get out of this, does that include the government should end medicaid as well? low incomerage for people, children, pregnant women? let's go to john in falls church, virginia. caller: good morning. we shouldthing is stop calling it insurance. we should call it a club membe

it's funny, people lauded sweden as this utopia, this place where everyone is happy and i think thisest stuff i've ever heard of. also, think of the hacking possibilities. your health information, financial information, who knows how much this can control. the possibilities are terrifying. >> andy: i'm kind of torn on stuff like this, i'm a tech guy. i'm a super cool dude. i love stuff like this but the privacy concerns are not a joke. >> i don't really know, how lazy are we now that you can't just hold your you had your phone with you, right? the solution isn't to put something underneath your skin, put it on your phone. >> andy: i could've left my phone at home. >> you could've left your hand at home. >> andy: let's be honest, here. >> come on, i don't know your business. i don't know what the chip, what does it have access to? it doesn't connect to your brain, we haven't done that yet. were still in the first act of the james cameron will become aware at the part where they show grainy video of how we got to this place.

do you have a utopia? >> we don't break that out.y early, because buying ads in newsfeeds that point to messenger is only something that any of the companies that have built the platform could start doing. it is very early still, so it is very small, but we think that with the user base and the thriving ecosystem that gets more value from the platform that over the long run we will , be able to build a solid system. caroline: many feel that f8 has been facebook showing how they can overtake snapchat. do you agree? are you taking aim at what snap has been doing? >> if you look at the stories format that was built and invented, now it is standard and available in a number of apps, because it does fit in a number of apps. when it comes to messaging, posting something on your day actually helps build context for better conversations or enables you to share plans. if you want to send a quick photo, who is up for coffee, and broadcast it to your friends, messenger is a great wasted that -- is a great place to do that because you will get p

do you have a utopia? >> we don't break that out. it is very early.e buying ads in messenger, it is only something that any companies who have built a presence on the platform could start doing since last december, so it is very early still, still very small, but we think with a user base that is what it is and a thriving ecosystem that we will be able to build a solid business. caroline: still ahead, what bill gates says about brexit, and how it can affect scientific research in the united kingdom. that is next. plus, uber has lifted the veil on its finances. we will run through the numbers. this is bloomberg. ♪ caroline: this week, celebrations for the fifth anniversary on tropical diseases in geneva, switzerland, producing a roadmap for the control, elimination of the world's tropical diseases by the end of the decade. bill gates helped to kick off the event, and manus cranny sat down for an exclusive interview. they discussed the impact of u.s. taxes, immigration, and brexit. take a listen. >> tax structures, you can't say they are unimportant, bu

a fully sustainable utopia. people come here because they're searching for answers. looking for hope. and jesus offers it to them. no one here is brain washed. they're free to come and go as they please. i'm certainly not worried they're all going to drink kool-aid and die. i'm curious what's wrr going to happen when the world doesn't end. will this movement continue? will his message change? will it continue to spread? and who will do the spreading? something similar happened with that other jesus. you know the one with the "s." after his death the followers sold a his possessions and lived together like a commune. they were waiting for the end to come but the end didn't come. far from throwing in the towel and calling it a day, they instead started the church and then a religion. >> what is this i'm hearing about spiritual >> this is shannon, jezus's favorite apostle. he's just returned to hawaii after some months on the mainland earning money. >> my apostle has arrived. the rabbit. the little rabbit. >> i missed you, jezus. >> one of the traditions at these retrea

it spreads the gospel of a dreamy new utopia based on brotherhood, love and lsd. >> for all the peoplel spiritual life, that's why all these people are down here. that's why there's so much interest in the haight-ashbury. it offers hope. >> we lived right down the street from the psychedelic shop. people were growing their hair long, they were wearing beads, playing music on the street. it was just an incredible environment at that point, in the beginning. that's when it was just like one big, giant family. >> before you knew it, it was a congregating place for artists, and the dividing line seemed to be the psychedelic experience. you couldn't understand the posters, you couldn't understand the fashions, you couldn't understand anything if you hadn't gotten high. >> the diggers group scrounges food and money to feed free those who arrive in panhandle park with a bowl and an appetite. diggers are people who share, says their manifesto, and their aim is a society where everything is shared, everything free. >> the diggers were one of the first groups that were into social consciousness

you don't need to reinterpret things in your own vision, and your own utopia and too often now and then judicial system, that's what we see. >> sandra: katie steinle was often mentioned on the campaign trail by donald trump. he promised to crack down on these -- he is following through on his campaign promises, but this is certainly a roadblock. >> harris: such a departure from what we saw from president obama who was not mentioning katie steinle and what happened to her, killed by an illegal immigrant who had been deported many times in san francisco. now you see a president who holds it up as an example of how we need to do things better and differently. just to piggyback a little bit on what trish regan is saying. what's interesting about a court changing is that when democrats look at the current, new u.s. supreme court nominee then, their greatest criticism was he's going to change things and this is going to become a court of advocacy. clearly the ninth circuit court of appeals has some advocacy challenges. people are questioning their positioning on things. i don't hear the democ

where the family is in phase, that's where these tens of thousands of people have come to create a utopia so i think once that falls, we will see an explosion of information about what the islamic state has meant to these people. it will be a horrific experiment, naturalexperiment in social psychology to see what does it mean for people who havedevoted their lives , given up everything , their families to a prophetic utopian community? what does it mean to see those prophecies destroyed in front of their eyes. it will be like the branch davidian compound except on the scale of the whole city. >> that's something that we have to look forward to within 2015. >> now, what does isis turn into after that? you mentioned the philippines. i went there not with any expectation that the philippines will be the new capital of the islamic state or that it would be a tropical paradise version of raqqa that people could go to although some have already tried to do that. but instead to see what is the template of the islamic state when it tries to move intoterritory that it has designs on but no operati

clearly he is to set up some sort of nationalist utopia where police can get away with anything, whereuslims aren't allowed into the country, where transgender students don't get the protections they deserve and where minorities don't have the right to vote. that is the world that jeff sessions wants and to be honest with you martha, the viewers might not like it at home, i am not having it. it is not what the justice department is supposed to be. for decades, it has been the department set up for everyday americans. under jeff sessions, stands up for private prisons, stands up for the far right extreme agenda and it hurts everyday americans. >> martha: that is the argument from the left no doubt. jeff sessions, you're basically saying just a mean, nasty man who wants to hurt people and discriminate against people. >> i don't know him, he could be a nice guy. his policies are awful. i don't know him. >> martha: horror is what you said. the other side of this and i imagine you're going to present some of this is that he is trying to return the power to the states, that this is a governm

do you have a utopia? >> we do not break that out. it is very early, as you can imagine.apps is something that anyone building companies on the platform could start doing since last december. it is very early still, very small, but we think with the user base that is what it is and the thriving ecosystem that gets more value from the platform, will, over time, be able to build a solid business. caroline: this is the story feature that we saw not only a instagram,but also how are people using it? to games, whens you think about it, social games were a big thing on desktop, but they ceased to be a big thing on mobile. messenger,ames on game developers can what's again builds on messenger, and the other way around. we are unlocking the capability to build on messenger, so you will be able to play "words with friends", with all of your individuala group or conversation, and many more types of games as of today. we just opened that right after think giving last year. since then we had 1.5 million games that have been played. carolyn: plenty of gaming. many feel that facebook i

i think what it wants to happen is utopia, which anybody can go anywhere and that europe is one kind of massive country. without actually an accountable central government in europe is crazy. it always was crazy. and, look, i like the european union. i would have voted, if i was still a british citizen, in favor of remaining in the eu. but i think ordinary people, they don't recognize the country they're living in, in all these places. and they're trying to tell people, please stop. >> give me some identity back. >> give me some meaning back. tell me what it means to be french again. tell me what it means to be an american. that was the core of trump. make america great again. it's defining this country. it's finding a new culture, a new unifying culture in an incredibly mixed, multi-racial, multi-cultural society that's never been -- it's important to remember this. never been in the history of the world a country this large with this many cultures and ethnicities in it. never. it's a challenge, and we're not living up to it right now. >> andrew sullivan, as always, this is why i li

military research sides into major bureaucracies, often causing a revival of early 20th of ary modernist utopias rationally organized society, and hydra fits into a broader pattern of widespread enthusiasm among managers, bureaucrats for the potential of modern computing technology to help intractablegly social problems, the same year as hydra, the fbi founded its national crime information fromr to marshal data federal, state, and local agencies, and during the same summer, the department of justice started a project that would eventually turn into the inter-division information unit, a program to analyze data on civil disturbances. the usef these cases, of modern information technology was not merely an operational detail, rather the computer's ability to find patterns in vast tounts of data appeared signal a potentially revolutionary application for the law enforcement and intelligence community from reactive policing to predictive intervention. self came intoit existence in 1967 as part of mhchaos and was initiated by james angleton in response to ident johnson's request, run by the cia spec

forward to running on a record but also a positive vision, not looking back to the 1970s and socialist utopiadum trying to pretend that we do not have a duty to follow through on the will of the british people. we are the ones actually with a positive agenda today putting forward. they are shaking their heads. we can do this more, we have got six weeks! thank you very much indeed. i suppose one of the things that strikes me listening to that discussion is the sense in which this is going to be a really unusual election. i mean, 83 was the last big landslide for the tories, 1997 for labour and already there seems to be an expectation that it is not going to be much of a cliffhanger. well, you could say that at the moment but we know that politics is pretty unpredictable at the moment. i think winter is me was walking in the ——i i think winter is me was walking in the —— i think when theresa may was walking in the welsh hills, i think she probably reflected on some of these polls, there has been no sitting prime ministers since 1983 for the conservatives who are violating the ball flight she ha

i don't think he's in utopia with it. host: thank you for calling.e'll continue to take your calls and continue to hear from the president in a moment, another attack on the media. but a little bit of flavor from harrisburg. this is "the new york times" piece. this is where they use the word "savage." trump savages the news media in a rally to celebrate his 100th day in the office. after a turbulent day in the white house, mr. trump spent the past weeks celebrating his achievement of his first 100 days but saturday it took on a darker hue filled with anger and touched on unfair trade deals and a corrupt washington establishment. to some extent mr. trump's red meat tone may have been a political necessary.shore up his base after a week in which he vacillated on budget conversations on immediately financing the border wall and his waivering drew charges from conservative radio hosts that he was a flip-flopper. the president's attack on the news media started earlier in the day. here's a tweet we want to show you from yesterday before the dinner happene

accident because the very first piece of science fiction i think it's fair to say is thomas moore's utopia written in 1516 sort of in the wake of columbus about the creating of a new ideal civilization so science fiction and colonial history actually are kind of joined together at the hip. so a lot of it is -- has to do with the fact that we don't -- we don't get these stories, especially in schools. a big change occurred in the '80s in my work when -- well, i'll tell you a story. i was working at the tenement museum, and we had decided that we were going to have one apartment for german-american immigrants, one apartment for irish-immigrant americans and one for par the eastern the american jews and one for the chinese and one for the italians and so on and everyone would get one apartment, and we would have a typical story of each of those different groups, and we would hire these smart historians to come in and -- and invent these composite narratives for us. so the irish group came in and says we've got a great story. a catholic girl from cork maris a protestant man from belfast and th

finding what brexit means in com plete then finding what brexit means in complete terms rather than the utopiamilies, finally know what it means for themselves, that theirfamilies, the communities, the public services, when we see what the brexit squeeze will entail for the public services and pay packets, surely it is right to give the british people a say on the final deal. we have said that, conservative eurosceptics have said that, and this is the position we are taking, which is much clearer than this extraordinary muddled that persists when it comes to labour's position. it is a compact and difficult issue but it is crucial in this selection campaign, particularly for labour, if they are to move the agenda on from europe, to move the agenda on from europe, to shift the focus onto more favourable to rein about austerity and public services but unless they can assure voters over and public services but unless they can assure voters over brexit, that will be very hard to do. thank you. the founder of wikipedia is launching an online news service to help combat fake news. jimmy wales says th

vision of precisely that utopia of that small world after all basking in peace through understandingin which the peace, freedom, and prosperity of the whole human race would be achieved through scientific and technological progress? that vision was already on display, and suitably hyped by madison avenue in the pavilions and rhetoric of the 1964 new york's world fair. onove my passage in the book the seattle's world fair and the new york's world's fair, and the 1939 york worlds fair also factors in. rebellion, this is a surprise to me, of the turbulent 1960's -- i was of that generation, turns out in part at least they were a distinction without a difference. even the youth rebellions come in his book tale tale hearts, adam garfinkel has argued the counterculture and protest movements amounted themselves to a sort of religious revival. i think he was right, except they were civil religious movements through which young people protested the militant cold war acr in the name of that millennial acr which their presidents claimed to pursue. the kids asked if this is what we stand for, wh

the last utopia we had ended when adam and eve were thrown out of the garden, and we have to be extremely careful not to idolize community. in fact if you read me book, how dante can save your life, now out in paperback, you'll see that i had to come through the lord broke me in a profound way and allowed know break on my own idol worship of family and community so i could react more humbly and be held of disorders in my own heart. so i keep this in my mind and somebody who was bullied in high school, living in a small wonderful town and i am always afraid of the mob because of that and worry about the mob. that said, the downside to community does not on viate the good side and our need for it. think we have to be realistic and care about the abuse of authority. in the book, benedict option, put some quotes in there i got from interviewing a young firmerly catholic woman, 18-year-old, who is an athiest now. she said that when she and her siblings were younger their parents took them off to live in an a rural part of the country and they were militant paranoid fearful catholics who were a

the regulatory issues especially he related to banks we have more stringent standards in parts of utopiaefully we will address this when we have a financial crisis one of the most important things was to simplify regulation, but make it much more strident the problem was that they didn't do simplification, banking system is governed by three or four agencies, and most other countries governed by one agencies or two agencies. maria: you are right. >> there lies the problem you might have to address one issue one agency another with another so the backlog the need to be working with government alphabetizal agencies is really cumbersome, no other parts of the world has what we call the provocativeel rule harmed liquidity for position of trades as a result a big problem in liquidity, i think there was you know pretty much unnecessary because as long as you have high equity standards i don't believe you need to have those type of restrictions so i believe that is going to be one thing that will be addressed, and the other thing that will be addressed beyond hopefully may be a consolidation of

. >> reporter: a utopia. >> jonestown was described as a paradise.on said followers were overworked and underfed. >> as time went on, i realized there's no future in jones town. jim became increasingly paranoid. >> reporter: jones was obsessed with revolutionary suicide. he felt followers should be prepared to die for their cause, having them drink fruit punch he claimed was poisoned. >> only after they drank, he would tell them, i'm just te testing you. >> reporter: a concerned congressman flew to guyana to investigate. accompanied by nbc news. while some followers praised jonestown, others wanted out. >> your wish today? >> to be back home. >> where is home? >> the u.s. >> reporter: as the congressman left, he took 15 defectors with him, angering jones. >> people play games, friend. they lie. they lie. what can i do about liars? you're going to leave us. i beg you, please leave us. >> reporter: he ordered gunmen to follow the group to the nearby airstrip. >> get on the plane. >> reporter: where they opened fire. five were killed, including congress

the fact that people were forced out of their city, evacuated at gunpoint to create their own dream utopiac housing, public education. you know the story better than me. we cannot outsource climate change. it has everything to do with economic and racial justice and human rights. right? one thing that scared me when i was writing this was there was a meeting held in this city two weeks after the levees broke at the heritage foundation, which is a right-wing think tank. it was convened by all the think tanks and the republican study committee. they had this meeting to come up with what they called free market solutions to hurricane katrina. the minutes from that meeting were leaked. if you read the minutes, there are 32 ideas, solutions. privatized the school system, have vouchers, who is in favor of that? betsy devos. get rid of public housing. create a tax-free free enterprise zone. build more oil refineries and drill for oil in the arctic national wildlife refuge. what does that have to do with katrina? you have this catastrophe that is born of the collision between heavy weather linked

the last utopia we had ended when i do many for thrown out at the garden and we have to be extremely careful not to idolize community. how dante can save your life coming out on paperback -- plus that you'll see that i have become -- the lord broke me in a profound way, allowed me to break out my own idol worship of feeling and community so i could react more humbly and be healed of a lot of disorders in my own heart. i was also somebody who is related high school, living in a small, wonderful town. i'm always instinctively afraid of the mob because of that. that said, the downsides of community do not obviate the good side, the sites of it in their need for it. we have to be realistic and careful about the abuse of authority. in the book trade for, i put some quotes in that of the young for my catholic woman who is an atheist now. she said when she and her siblings were younger than their parents with them off to live in a rural part of the country and every militant catholics who are rating the three days of dark as a side purity everywhere and demons behind everything. everyone of
