person, to live up to your moral principles.that is, i think, the moral logic compelling american revolutionaries. to sum up, what does all of this mean? what is the ultimate meaning of the declaration of independence? i think it can be summed up in the words of abraham lincoln. who, in 1957, said, speaking of the declaration of independence, he wrote "i think the authors of that notable instrument meant to set up a standard maxim for a free society." i think that is exactly what the declaration is, a standard next -- maxim for a free society, which should be familiar to all and revered by all, constantly looked to, and although never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere. i think that is what the declaration of independence does. it establishes a standard maxim for a free society by which we can judge tyranny. it turns out, not just the tyranny of george the third and the brit

however it's something called moral injury and moral injury is you know it's kind of a fancy term for guilt but it goes much deeper than that it more injury occurs when you transgress when a person transgressions against his or her belief system against their fundamental values against their what they believe you know whether it be based from a higher power whether it be because what they were raised as the values talk to them by their families you know by their by their communities or whether it's just basically something they have come to on their own but you transgressed that you've committed an act so by also a pouring in your own to your own senses that you are no longer the person you once were or the person that you thought you would be. military veterans make up 8 percent of u.s. adult population but account for 13.5 percent of the adult suicides in the united states data from veterans affairs shows among veterans that had deployed to iraq and afghanistan suicide rates are $4.00 to $10.00 times higher than their civilian peers but even these statistics may be understating suic

per se however it's something called moral injury and moral injury is you know it's kind of a fancy term for guilt but it goes much deeper than that it more injury occurs when you transgress when a person transgress as against his or her belief system against their fundamental values against their what they. leave you know whether it be based from a higher power whether be because what they are raised as the values talk to them by their families you know by their by their communities or whether it's is basically something they have come to on their own but you transgressed that you've committed an act so vile so important in your own to your own senses that you are no longer the person you once were or the person that you thought you would be and i can't emphasize enough how deacon destructive that is for me going through those periods where i realized i had done this i had had had had this moral injury it was a period of blackness it was a undercutting of the very foundations of who i was and you see this in study after study that's been conducted by the u.s. veterans administration by

the moral clarity of his imperative has given voice to those imploring others to do what is right for a greater good, no matter their political ideologies. like tonight we will be featuring programs all season long that harp on this theme of right makes might. we will be featuring speakers who have faced a movement, righted a wrong, advocated for justice, equality, sustainability, what they believe is honorable, ethical and furthers the common good. i'm pleased that tonight's conversation is happening on such a significant date. the lincoln project has undertaken a bold task in our current climate, advocating for the importance of placing country before party. everyoneike to remind that the cooper union is a 501(c)(3). we are prohibited directly from participating in or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for elected public office. [laughter] [applause] in all seriousness, for us this is not about any one candidate, this is about the vibrancy of our democracy, it is about fostering an environment in which people with a range of perspect

do what is morally right.hen faced with much harder warces, slavery, secession, , lincoln compelled us to rely on her better nature. he reminded us in these times it is our character being defined. right makes might. he taught us. in fact, it is the only thing that can. thank you. my fellow travelers. [applause] >> hello, i'm ron. i'm a millennial. [laughter] it is well understood that my generation entered adulthood not able to take for granted some of the things our parents were. economic stability, job opportunity. now, my generation is being forced to learn that democracy cannot be taken for granted either. [applause] that the balances and the checks put into our system require enactment by public servants and that sub service sub service can be costly. the price of defending democratic ideals rises steeply when one party sacrifices its moral court in exchange for political advantage.

global is a man named david morale is remember that name because it will come in handy in your heads who gave the world's most important publisher over to a mob of merchants of death fantasy league. after a 2016 trip to a security fair in los vegas morale as came back to the company's headquarters in spain very excited and said and he came back saying that they were now in the 1st division when a co-owners asked what morale is meant he responded that he had turned to the dark side of an apparent reference to u.s. intelligence services apparently morale as was given an offer he couldn't refuse because like when you're buying a k.f.c. male in the cashier goes for just a quarter or more will give you a super sized and the front of your body and you're like just a quarter. can't turn that down well what do you think you see go global had to do to get that street sweep from us intelligence oh just hand over join us aand on a silver platter you see global was also offered lots of money ostensibly to protect a boat yes a boat the $70000000.00 yacht belonging to sands casino magnate an evil

every we meet someone who witnessed the battle for morale we the people thank god it's a joke how can you attack a city. and they cost tens of thousands of people. it's unthinkable but it happened and that this is how terrorism places but because it can explode could break out at any time and we've learned to not look mom is a historian and a member of a powerful muslim family nonetheless he has to ask the army for permission to accompany us into the center of mirali it's now an exclusion zone the city has a population of 200000. the 1st. thank you is not allowed to enter his house. not all the booby traps and explosive devices in the area have been cleared away. soldiers tell us where we may go and how long we may stay people here called the exclusion zone ground 0 tens of thousands have lost their homes. that's the whole thing with. this used to be the central mosque. he used to come here and stay here and pray for the dead. artillery marked our helicopter gunships jet fighters. fighter's ever thought of west's use to me bombs but i was watching it the whole time but in my 12 days o

administration's new rules and expands the number of organizations that can file for religious or moral exemptions. here is that now. >> c-span friends, welcome to the next installment of the national constitution center and c-span's supreme court review live. i'm jeffrey rosen, the president and ceo of the national constitution center, the only institution in america chartered ly institution in america chartered by congress to increase awareness and understanding of the constitution among the american people on a nonpartisan basis. it's been so exciting to partner with c-span during these historic weeks, when, for the first time in american history, the supreme court is broadcasting its oral arguments live. we have been listening closely to these two important cases this morning. there has been so much to learn and unpacked -- and unpacked. we are fortunate to be joined by the leading scholars and advocates who filed briefs on both sides of the case to help us understand the arguments we just heard. little begin with sisters of the poor, the first case that was argued, with great pleas

a moral compass. we don't know how to ask the question. we ask are youÑi religious. it's not a good question because the flawed assumption behind that question is that someone who is not affiliated with any particular religious group cannot be a moral person. that's simply false. we know it's false. so that's a bad question. and i think that we're getting away from that question the farther we are from nixon. so carter's campaign represented i think a reversal of the kennedy paradigm of voter indifference to a candidate's faith and the fact that he spoke about it so openly and so freely was certainly a big part of his appeal. >> i loved your closing sentence in the epilogue. i totally loved it. it says maybe he would be the last one to know, and i'm sure you gave him a copy of this book. what did he think? what was his feedback? >> i think steve is more likely to get a review than i am. i just sent it to him last week. the book is just out less than a week. >> it would be interesting to know what he t

they issued a statement saying we can't agree that abortion is a moral issue. but we're inclined to allow abortion under certain circumstances. 1971, the southern baptist convention which as i'm sure many of you know is hardly liberalism, passed a resolution at the meeting in st. louis, missouri, calling for the legalization of abortion. resolution they reaffirmed in 1974, a year after the roe ruling and again in the 1976. when the roe v. wade decision was handed down, several prominent evangelical leaders including w.a. criswell from dallas, texas, expressed satisfaction with the roe v. wade ruling as marking an appropriate distinction between personal morality and public policy. my point in this is to say abortion is not the issue. organized preachers and others into the religious right. well, what was it? the quick story, and i'm going to try to be brief about this, although i'd be happy to go into details more later. the quick story is that evangelical preachers in particular organized not to oppose abortion but to defend racial segregation. the issue was,

dimension what this is the moral character that you're dealing on and stuck in style he believes that to try to please the british and french and do the same to our country crock which is like well they really do you think they're all over yeah yeah ok ok so the nazis are active there. as more people actually and he is circumstance was the grand alliance yeah the judas will want to grant lawrence you know the big 3 churches done so you know you know the networks and it worked go ahead david look it's the most successful minutes actually lots of yesterday's shooting counts it's the image and been well for us that since work like in paradoxes here and now jeffrey if i just sat in a ring if he didn't think you are not in sync. western democracy is in the same way this pact trust without it i don't think that there is no absolute necessary union in 1901 would be possible because because of the pact the soviet union has one wall to states and western ukraine inside itself these very hostile n.g.o.s you know which remain out under who are much more basically in the late eighty's as soon as

there is a kind of action which he became pretty the point is you can't the west can't moralize over that when itself was it culpable for the destruction and i would say the precursor to what would then become an inevitable war i mean they were the remarkable thing if you look at the historical record isn't it hillary was i'll basically shocked that chamberlain. would agree to breaking up over well you know breaking apart subject as they have use of these people to get there they're really going to sell them out i mean and then months later the entire country was about an audience kind of more i mean if you want to use the moral dimension well this is the moral character you're dealing up and start instantly believes that you're trying to play the british and french and do the. trick right which is like well. ok ok so the nazis are active their last mortal actually at the historical sense was the grand alliance yeah the you just will want to grab a glance you know to be truthful attraction in some sense you know you know the networks and it worked go ahead and look it's the most succ

various kinds of actions which he became the point is you can't the west can't moralize over that when itself was it culpable for the destruction and i would say the precursor to what would then become an inevitable war i mean they were the remarkable thing if you look at the historical record isn't it hilary was well basically shocked that chamberlain well would agree to breaking up you know breaking up parts of texas a heaviness of these people get there they're really going to sell them out i mean and then months later the entire country was about and this is a kind of more i mean if you want to use the moral dimension well this is the moral character that you're dealing on and stuff and style he believes that to try to please the british and french and do the same to our country crowd which is like well they did a good look they're all. ok ok so the nazis are active they're well let's ask people more people actually at the historical sense was the grand alliance yeah the judas will want to grant lawrence you know the big 3 churches don't you know you know the networks and it worked

objections -- moral objectors to contraceptive mandates which came out of the affordable care act. which people called obamacare, way back when. and the state of pennsylvania is claiming that the trump administration did not have the authority to grant these religious exemptions. that the language of the health a very narrow delegation to the agency. it basically said, you have got to provide preventive health care services that are named by the health resources and services administration. minute,o says wait a every single federal has to be carried out in coordination with religious freedom restoration act which commissions every single federal law and requires us to comport with respect for religious freedom. the government can only burden religious freedom if it has a compelling interest. he said the agency always issues ey to aens withan federal law requires and then he went into detailed language about the affordable care act provide it says they health resources and services administration can decide what forms of preventive services it provides and supports the trump adminis

i think it made a moral question in an ethical question.when i went to the kennedy presidential library went to the letter that kennedy was receiving and librarians were sending him letters and schoolteachers were sending him letters saying did you really like a book. you wouldn't have accepted the price if you would never liked the book. that's not the right thing to do. >> hi, welcome and thanks to everyone joining us today for portugal argentina scotland australia italy south africa all around the world. i am naomi murakawa the author

now, again, this is at the moral level. when you shift the policy, then you've got to look at various practical considerations in terms of whether certain religious berties are being pushed aside and so forth and so on. but that is where the conflict , i think, and that's where is, i think, and that's where the dialogue has to take place. and one has to say that over and over and over again, because homophobia cuts so deep in the culture that it's easy to overlook. >> we are beginning the presidential 2020 contest, nally. we are off to new hampshire. and, dr. west, your candidate, bernie sande, has emerged from iowa with a very strong hand. how do you reflect on this shift? >>te always look for a candi who exemplifies integrity, honesty, decency, constancy, a jane austen would put it, a moral consistency. and brother bernie has been that. >> dr. george, i know you don'tg politicalle with bernie sanders, but i've noticed, in your twitter feed, you've had some positive things to say about him. i want to read you one you said.

sorry front several religious schools in morale way he says the kind of islam they teach is peaceful and has nothing in common with i.a.s. ideology. he tells us that muslims here are concerned to maintain their own culture independence is not a priority. in fact he says many muslims in iraq we had actually voted for do territory. and yet it was the president himself he continues who provoked the attack on the city. what our president did use did by the. ok you can bore the one and bore the. accordion may on opinion this is the poor the day. but the gomery of the go betterment also has a point because it did not allow us to negotiate with the devil. we accompany show relief to midday prayers in the mosque. safe. muslims make up just 5 percent of the philippine population the majority are catholics almost all the muslims live on mindanao or. sure if says that many here feel marginalized and abused by the philippine government a feeling only confirmed by the bombing of murali 2. as a result of the conflict and the destruction tens of thousands fled the city. we visit one of the many cam

jaafari tells us of his determination to establish an a thomas homeland for his people found some moral. negotiations lead to a deal codified in the bungs a more organic law the basis for the new bangs and moro autonomous region in muslim mindanao we can see only current government budget and islamic legal system. what is the reason why it is not always see how it is because of this injustice this young people are they are fed up that's why i am then here come the group which is more militant. parts there. of course are in awe. of the isis. and they isis. trying to find out who can be. there to be our ally outside of the middle east. and. they believe. men are oppressed. can't meet their eye because. the muslims are not satisfied. but example are there so much corruption. and overall. and i miss my administration. we're allowed to visit the headquarters of the military wing of the liberation front. for us he's. the chief of staff isn't in uniform a sign perhaps of the shift from armed struggle to political action and responsibility. or we ask what might happen if the project of autonomy

dimension well this is the moral character you're dealing up and stuck in style he believes that to try to lead the british and french and do the. trick which is like well. ok ok so the nazis are actually lost as a people more people actually historical sense was the grand alliance yeah the you just will want to grow plants you know to be truthful attraction in some sense you know you know the networks and it worked go ahead and look it's the most successful exactly lots of yesterday's show counts it's the image and then well for us that since work like in paradoxes here and now jeffrey has just said that you know wink if he didn't think you are not in sync western democracy is in the same way this fact 1st without it i don't think that there is no absolute necessary union in 1000 when you want would be possible because because of the pact the soviet union has what states and western ukraine inside itself these very hostile ended yes you know which remain out on the world much more recently in the late eighty's as soon as they had an opportunity to express themselves the needed it t

then there's the loss of a moral sense also contributing to the decline of great nations.in america today as cole porter wrote in the song in 1930s, anything goes. if you say stop or this is too far, you are immediately denounced as a bigot or one of many folks. all of this is not a prophetic book. i'm not wearing a sandwich board this is the end is near and parading around but i am saying that while america is a great nation, are certain seeds being sown for our distraction and we have to renew the values that the greatest generation that we've been living off of by inertia for about the last 60 or 70 years fought and died for. >> host: to that, december again is in peril because of right and wrong and no longer submit to a higher authority than own experiences. when i look around the country i see most people mostly trying to do the right thing. somewhere specifically d.c. society going wrong? >> guest: i can i think we're tolerating virtually everything now. you take a look at the value of human life. not just abortion, though we have had 60 million of them since roe v.

was about an audience kind of more i mean if you want to use the moral dimension well this is the moral character you're dealing on and stuck in style he believes that to try to please the british and french and do the same to our own country crock which is like well maybe he'd like to keep some yeah yeah ok ok so the nazis are active there. as a people more people actually and he is circumstance was the grand alliance yeah the you just will want to grow plants you know the big tree bristle at church in a sense and you know you know the meaning works and it worked go ahead and look it's the most successful exactly the arts of the history of sheer commerce it's the image and then well for us since you are like in paradoxes here and now jeffrey has just said that you know we didn't think through our study and see western democracies in the same way this fact trust without it i don't think that there is no absolute necessary union in 1000 when you want would be possible because because of the pact the soviet union has what states and western ukraine inside itself these very hostile ended y

one we haven't talked about is the moral rule that says an employer with a moral objection to provide contraception can be exempted. the district court noted this could allow an employer that objects to women in the workforce for instance to remove itself from providing contraception. with respect to the religious exemption, there are certain key features that really should show how broad this is. it illuminates the accommodations as mandatory requirements. even for instance all the various planes of plaintiff and the hobby lobby case that recognize they were fine with the accommodation, they are now exempt. i disagree with my friends conclusion they are unlikely to take advantage because these are at any subject to contraception -- contraceptive. we were fine with the cop -- complying with the accommodations. , the supplies. >> where does the moral exemption come from? >> they do not rely on that for a moral exemption. they claim authority under 300 gg -- 13 under the women's health amendment. argued and the court has found that statute doesn't support the conclusion they can create

be required to wear face masks at all times and have their temperature checked before entering the morals the easing of restrictions follows a steady drop in the number of infections. 11 firefighters have been injured in an explosion at a cannabis oil factory downtown los angeles the crew was inside the building and on the roof trying to put out the fire put it put out a fire rather when a ball of flames shot out of the building more than 200 more firefighters rushed to the same to help extinguish the blaze. former u.s. president barack obama has criticised the u.s. government's response to the coronavirus pandemic obama made the comments in online graduation speeches for college and high school students without referring to president donald trump directly of ahmed said some late is were quote pretending to be in charge is rebuke breaks with a convention that former presidents refrain from criticizing their success it's do what you think is right doing what feels good which can be what's easy that's all kids like. unfortunately a lot of so-called grown ups including some with fancy titles

freedom that we want for children missing amongst 1000 people missing is not an achievement it is a moral disaster it's in funny it is infamy for us. that can never be repaired. nobody knows how many civilians were killed during the siege. so mere a good talk takes a. to a mass grave outside of town. it's not known who is buried here. none of the victims were ever identified. is an example of discrimination of not allowing traditional indigenous mediation systems if we keep on making peacekeeping as a decision of only men in uniform and the national with local civilian population on it will always be a lock and failed experiment it's a failed decision tomorrow is a failed decision it cannot be any more used as a template for any other. the following day we have an appointment with the largest muslim rebel group on mindanao the moral islamic liberation front or m i l f we are told to follow the black pickup in front into territory controlled by the group. for decades the rebels fought for independence from the central government in manila many thousands were killed in the fighting. a wait

this is moralism. this is using morality as a cheap political weapon.mean, kind of being hopeful here but i think it's running its course as a weapon that has been used forever against conservatives and republicans. stuart: i have heard it all my life. all my life. i'm older than you. dan, thanks very much for joining us. we always appreciate it. see you soon. all right. >> good to be with you. stuart: i will show you the white house where, in just a few hours, the president and first lady meet with the texas governor, that would be greg abbott. ashley, they have new rules for opening salons and gyms in texas. we are very interested in how things look when they reopen this kind of institution. have you got any idea how things look and what the rules are? ashley: i do and it's interesting. kind of an eye-opener as to what life will be like as we try to get back at least to partial normalcy. let's take a look at the salons. texas rules, you should screen customers and employees. that's number one. employees must wear masks. walk-ins have to wait outside.

but that does not mean that their moral believes should be imposed on my ability to get access throughally sponsored program to ensure health coverage. and i think that's really what was at stake. the justices, particularly the female justices on the court, were incredible rock stars as we were able to listen when they talked about justice ginsberg and birth control was considered to be essential in this plan and that we were just willing to throw all of that to the wind. that, to me, seems to be one of those things where we're allowing moral beliefs to really on an impact level undermine our ability as nine out of ten women to get easy access without hassle and no cost to us to birth control. >> one of the arguments that was made in front of the supreme court in favor of the trump rule was that other means of accessing birth control are widely available. i wonder what you make of that argument. >> look, this is about discriminating against -- it's essentially discriminating against women because of one's moral objections and we've seen this over and over again. we've seen the trump ad

we see reverend william barber organizing the moral monday movement. we look at the sanctuary movement, it is led by religious leadership. the question is to think about, how do we work with this and how do we explain this politically and religiously? what does this do to our notions of narratives of history in the 21st century and to think about historical antecedents or how do we get here? what is changed? what is different or not about this moment? >> one thing i would say, thinking of the long trajectory of history, we look back and there are moments in time when religion is salient, influential in politics and foreign policy and it kind of ebbs and flows. my sense there is more salience in religion -- when i think of the gilded age and progressive era, religion has more salience in politics. when there are these moments, it seems religion and religious actors, either because there is a built in locus for organizing or because the nature of the theoretical arguments can be applied. religion can be a way to understand the problem and to propose what

there is this moral stance of making sure that it's as a fairly battled as the british.if that was truly the case there wouldn't be such a huge disparity between what you sell, and who you sell to on each side. we'll talk about what ultimately tips the americans into battle next month, but i can say that it comes back to the economy. there is a question over here, and then over here, and if we have time peter, i might have time for only one more question because we do have to get out of the room. >> can you talk a little bit but the american volunteers because, before america gets involved? >> good question. a lot of americans served in the war in other countries before the u.s. goes into war formally in 1917. some of those americans have been living in europe for sometime. many came from ivy league schools, and thought either they were francophiles or anglophiles or dramatic, they were fighting for that honor that we were talking about, the ideals. plenty more simply walked over the canadian border, signed up, they were tall enough and had enough teeth, and they signed

i am not worried about moral hazard. companies that are knowledgeable of those programs that have not even been able to apply. what i am concerned about is whether we are negotiating well for taxpayers. when we start doing these really big loans, we should be asking for stocks or options or grants in exchange for that just like other investor would do. i think that is really what we have to do. taxpayers deserve a return for their investment. >> there is a big difference here between the main street program and what is being done with larger corporations. industries do you feel like our most -- are most victim to falling prey to the idea of moral hazard given companies are receiving aid? >> things are so much in flux, and we are going through a whole events industry, the sport industry. i don't know much about moral hazard -- i don't know it as much about moral hazard as it is about getting people employed quickly. if we do not have more people with jobs and we have to continue to subsidize them with unemployment, it is

>> the effect on morale? >> it the commander-in-chief is making comments saying somehow impugning the integrity of the intelligence committee to professionals, that they are somehow of some of all ask acting against him area would you agree that as some negative effects upon the communities kind esprit de corps andaround ? >> my impression senator and i can only see the conversation that i had with without getting into the specifics, i think the sentiment i heard from the president is it's not intelligence community writ large, it's specific individuals and pointing to you know, for instance misuse of intelligence authorities. by certain individuals and but again, my focus is i want to look forward, not back and i think that's one of the reasons i want this opportunity. all this underscores the point that the relationship is and what it should be across the board between the intelligence community, the president and congress andits oversight committees . again it may be difficult but i like the opportunity to

emerging toward moral rather than younger. the scorebook cataclysm that had happened in the united states since 1941 and certainly never in the city in the middle of the empire. it was the most shocking of anything i think happened in this country in my lifetime. it's absolutely absolutely not the time of any sense of nuance in the culture. people were wounded people were physically dead and wounded and the city stink. i don't know people remember that as well as they should but for weeks and weeks there was a smell of dead bodies and this toxicity and then people started sending anthrax to the white house and it was just absolutely terrifying. she wrote an essay that basically said that these people were not cowards. the terrorists who had hijacked the planes and kill people in spectacular fashion. in the united states rather than lashing out at other countries and starting a new war should look to why people hated america. this was something that americans always had a hard time understanding that america is is very ferociou

relativity and moral hazard associated with what you're saying here in the economy and on wall street in the banking industry they keep. moving the goalposts in terms of what constitutes a moral or even legal activity we've been saying this for a long time now every time they commit an illegal act they simply decide to change the law and say well that's no longer illegal that's how the 2008 crisis was a repeat of the s. and l. crisis of the eighty's under reagan and the reason it was allowed to happen is that after the s. and l. crisis there was a whole sell re architecting of the laws governing the banks to make what was illegal then no longer illegal and to make it legal and in 2008 what was the legal was legal and they committed that massive fraud and there was that global financial crisis and then after 2000 a week after lehman and bear went bust they said you know what we don't want to leave any of these banking shenanigans behind we need to change the laws again to make even the few things that were illegal now legal and now we have 2021 there's literally nothing in place there'

you call it morally, commit thyself. so why isn't that any different than a juror who says, i am not going to do this, and then does it, and a judge can remove him? mr. lessig: your honor, you have identified the core immunity that a juror has. that is the immunity in the vote to convict or not. is immunity that cannot be regulated or punished or fined according to the court within the state. there are other obligations, you are right, that you can be held to account for. we think that is perfectly parallel to the presidential elector. they have immunity in his or her vote. of course, sitting in the elector room, he can't cause a disturbance, can't threaten somebody with a weapon, can't engage in any number of criminal activities that might interfere with the opportunity to perform the duty. there is a particular immunity because the immunity to vote is immunity from penalty for vote just as the speech and debate clause cases have made clear. justice sotomayor: you rely a lot on history in your argument, but doesn't mcph
