political mistakes, the huge upheaval that followed that, iraq ease no longer see the americans as liberators see them as a giant ordeal that they had to live with and they're glad to be rid of now. and i think a movie like this plays into the perception among iraqis that america never understood iraq and perhaps never will. >> liz bly, thanks so much for sharing the situation on the ground there. nice to talk to you. >> we keep talking about all these different themes that the movie brings out. some of them are obvious. some are not. for example, testimony begins this week in the murder trial for chris kyle's alleged killer. how will the movie affect the outcome of the trial? now the answer may not be what you think, and we'll tell you why. grandpa bode, grandma said you used to really... control. i guess i did take some risks. anncr: bode, bode miller!!! trained a little bit differently. a little too honest sometimes. the media is useless. you were out of control. but not always. you can't always see them. but it's our job to find them. the answers. the solutions. the innovations. all waiti

. >> would you say you are as liberal as code pink. >> i would say probably so.t doesn't mean i agree with tactics. >> you say that alan colmes and code pink are in the same zone as liberalism? >> if you want to have a pie chart. >> you are an honest man, colmes. >> you saw madea benjamin and i asked her a simple question. you you know i'm a simple man. how would you confront isis because this was on the day the jordanian fighter pilot got burned to death. her answer was we -- we would have a meeting a big meeting with people in the middle east and we would cut off their funding and their recruiting. >> all right. she is antiwar. >> no, no no. just stay on that. do you firmly believe that a meeting is going to stop the isis terror group. >> i don't believe she was as simple as saying it's a meeting. you work with your allies to try to cut off the funding. we know the saudis have funded and certain countries have funded. >> these are individual checks being written not governmental checks. to me, i'm seeing a person who has no clue about how to stop these isis ter

and he wanted a free system of government to liberate people from that as much as possible, to liberate them from generational obligations as much as it liberates them from oppression by people around them. i think the place of the courts as it's taken shape would have been a problem for him in that respect. but, again the radicalism of the fundamental claim has to be understood. now, thomas jefferson said something like this too. there's a famous exchange of letters in september of 187 between -- 1787 between jefferson and madison where jefferson makes something very much like thomas paine's claim. every law should be expired after a generation. madison writes him back this wonderful letter where he very gently sort of says well, if you think about what things will look like on the day that all the laws expire, i'm not really sure we want to do that. [laughter] but, you know, the radical imof jefferson's kind of liberalism goes that far, and there are times when he was willing to take it to its logical conclusion. there are times when he wasn't. paine always took it to its logical conc

activism. >> and tamron you also describe things as activism whether liberal or conservative when youuling at all. that's a bipartisan attribute. when you're saying this is activism usually you mean that you're disappointed with the ruling. >> talk about congressman aaron schock. this downtonabbey, some serious allegations regarding how and where money was spent. >> that's right. usually these moneys and what's paying for what is sometimes a bipartisan affair when it comes to ethics. no doubt that aaron schock has been in the gauntlet of a lot of news stories. where that's going to hurt him more would be on a republican primary challenge if he ends up getting one in 2016. when it comes to general election tamron republicans in this peoria district are pretty much a sure thing to be able to win. aaron schock got 74% of the vote in his 2012 re-election bid. and mitt romney was able to get more than 60% of the vote in 2012 in that congressional district. so if there's going to be any electoral consequence, it would come in the form of republican primary, not necessarily general election.

." >> i think in large parts of iraq people did welcome us as liberators.tion that was built on basically the old saddam hussein security structures and that had a terrific capacity to intimidate and scare people into opposing us. i think clearly something we should have done at the beginning was to have a counter insurgency strategy. when we finally adopted one after four years, it worked amazingly quickly and brought things down to a relatively peaceful, relatively stable level by 2009. and i think one of the mistakes was to leave in 2011 and not make a serious effort to keep an agreement to keep an american presence in iraq. >> let me also ask you this question which is a little bit political, but jeb bush said he wants to be seen as his own man. he made that very clear. and yet his team of foreign policy advisers is largely staffed by people like you and former members of his brother's foreign policy team. how can he be seen as his own man when the people who are advising him promoted a foreign policy that in retrospect has largely been regarded as flaw

this fight because if the government backed by shia malitia go to mosul they will not be seen as liberatorsonquerors and at the end of the day it's not only being ready militarily to take mosul its that to be conducive and national reconciliation because if iraq does recapture mosul it will be the beginning of the end of i.s.i.l. but if i.s.i.l. is defeated without any unity and reconciliation it could spell yet another war in iraq. >> many thanks and live in er bill and after meeting with the prime minister the next stomach for angela merkel is moscow and will join the french president with a new plan to end the conflict in eastern ukraine and the biggest push yet to end the ten-month crisis that killed more than 5,000 people and the talks are last-ditch attempt to have the u.s. arm ukraine with the battle against separatists and simon reports. >> reporter: sudden intensity of diplomacy shows how serious the situation is becoming first it was secretary of state john kerry meeting president poroshenko and pledging u.s. backing and pointing a finger of blame at moscow. >> russia and the sepa

as brave. he found something noble in the british liberal democracy and in part it was as he said as he liked to say he always got these expressions slightly wrong and the british never throughout the baby with the bath. of course he meant with the bathwater but i think that what he meant is that, you know, that stability and order are necessary in creating the political regime and he agreed with montesquieu that liberty and security are not unrelated. one of the definitions of liberty and montesquieu thank's view is the security. and so, then again you can see that what he took from that respect. but guess there is a confirm of stability, security and order. but the example of the anglo-american liberal democracy suggests that this in fact could be combined with freedom and indeed social justice. >> [inaudible] questioning the traditional characterization as being a supporter of the right. could you provide a definition of the right and the left? >> maybe i the >> maybe i can start from his own definition or attempt to define the difference between the right and left and he does this in a coupl

"boyhood" had been a favorite early on. it will be a close run race. >> the close actor seems to be down to michael keaton. will we see hollywood reward keaton for a career that they have always held in high regard? >> -- has received a lot of accolades. he won the golden globe, for example. that is assuming a very strong position. the academy knows keaton, it is also a story that appeals to hollywood. the academy will empathize with that movie. >> is is finally julianne moore's year. she received rave

as a progressive, as a liberal, as a patriot, i believe in this notion that we all do better when we all do better. i believe in community. we're all connected. it's part of the values that made me want to send my kid to a public school because i want my kid to do well and invest in education that helps all kids. all those values made sense to me and yet somehow i didn't connect that to this decision to not vaccinate my child, which seemed only about my child at the time but now i came to realize -- >> and, doctor sally isn't alone. a lot of educated liberal people are out there who decide not to fax vaccinate their kids because they find this information online and discount what their own doctors tell them. why is that you think? >> there are a lot of sources of information. a lot of moms and fathers. it's like when a baby is born it's a fast moving train. there's a lot of information coming from all sorts of sources. the internet individuals, family and friends, et cetera. in our group what we are focusing on now is providing education about vaccines during pregnancy. the breastfee

companion piece of the state of the union address where he claimed the title i think in that address as liberalof the common critiques of this president had been that he would give away the store even before he would get to the negotiating table. i think in this document he's being a bit bolder. some of the things are warmed over -- you know, the tax cuts and tax heights on the rich and trickle down or spread it out amongst the middle class. but he also isn't touching medicare he's not suching social security the way he did in other budget documents, wrarchgling many in his party. >> ifill: he's less ambitious because maybe it's not worth the fight to be in a second term. >> it's not, democrats don't want the fight nor do the republicans. you have them up in their own races and a handful have their own race in 2016. >> ifill: looking at the polling and the conversation you've seen and the positions you've seen in the last few days who benefits from romney's exit. >> i think the republican party benefits from him developing out. in 2012 they had to write a whole document figuring out what went w

so kim the fact that you didn't activism can sometimes lead to liberal as well as conservative results, and that it is endorsed by philosophers like a ronald, look at these strange bedfellows are, ladies and gentlemen. tim sandefur just invoked as his model the great liberal political philosopher robert bork and is subject to pick an overarching philosophy editor with the constitution in light of that, and you can't engage in constitutional interpretation without a philosophy. given this incredible liberal pedigree, justice kennedy lawrence v. texas due to believe there's a myth of judicial activism? >> ideal. i know it's astonishing but i do. that was a wonderful statement and it inspired a couple of thoughts on my part. one is this. so this idea that liberty is the right of consenting adults to do whatever they want with their bodies and make whatever bargains they think are in their interests, that's a nice idea. i don't think that's the constitution's that's the constitution's idea undoubtedly one of. when i think about the constitution, i think about the founders. for reasons that

day that the illegal invasion of iraq and the stabilization of the area, when they refer to it as a liberation jeb bush referred to it as a liberation of iraq in his speech earlier. i do not know how anybody can consider that a liberation. maybe that's what george bush thought it was when he went in there, but it certainly was not a liberation. i think -- they say that president obama is at fault, because he could have made things better when he got into office. it was george w. bush's policy to have the troops pulled out of iraq by a specific date, which i believe was sometime in 2013 or 2014. you just can't seem to win for losing. that is pretty much my comment. john: who is saying the right things on foreign policy. who would you support? caller: honestly, i do not like any of them. they are all -- they all have their own little place that they live in their own world, every one of those politicians, just about everyone. i am not sure about elizabeth wharton or bernie sanders -- elizabeth warren or bernie sanders. if you look at all the other politicians, a are pretty much all in the bag fo

and to some extent i think there is a general concern that we do need to have as liberals about where broader agenda. like how can we create better bridges around the immigrants rights movement the gay rights movement and other social justice issues. where do we create greater consensus around what we need to do about black lives matter and all lives matter and discrimination matters. >> i'm surprised at how much support there is. . when i look at this, i see that when we do this immigration poll, december of 2014 from pugh research, 70% allowing undocumented immigrants. but only 46% support executive action. if i'm a republican no wonder i say this isn't about immigration. there's 70% support for it. this is about the bad president. >> this is what gets them in trouble and why they can't win the white house. >> to the end i love it. >> they don't listen to the 24% of people. so in fact what you have is a country that's already ready to make this decision. here's the thing. what we're talking about is we're talking about latin american immigration. i grew up in michigan. the place is

unanimous court headed by chief justice berger with a case in 1961 when earl warren, who was known as "liberal" justice had gwendolyn hoyt's case. she was what today we would call a battered woman. she was abused by her philandering husband and one day he humiliated her to the breaking point. she was beside herself. it was kind of like billy bud. if you read the story billy is unable to speak so he strikes lieutenant klager. dwebd gwendolyn saw her son's baseball bat in the corner of the room. she took it and with all her might hit her husband in the head, he fell to the ground. it was the end of his life and the beginning of the murder prosecution. gwendolyn hoyt's idea was, it's important for me to have women on the jury because women would better understand my state of mind, the rage that i felt. but, hillsboro county florida in those days did not put women on the jury rolls. that was supposed to be a favor to women because, as the supreme court said in gwendolyn hoyt's case, women are the center of home and family life. therefore, they don't need to be distracted by serving on juries. gwen

> guest: no, i don't, because i discuss mill as a kind of problem, as a kind of symptom of what's the underlying weakness of the liberal position. mill started out as an advocate of freedom, and most of us, if we've read any mill, have read "on liberty," which is the famous manifesto that he wrote about freedom of speech and so on. but by the end of his career mill was a socialist, so he migrated from a free-market position and freedom position to a socialist position. c-span: when did he live? >> guest: mill was born in 1806 and died in 1873. c-span: how do you remember something like that? >> guest: i don't know. you asked me the question, and i just pulled it up, but i was just... c-span: but have you known it all your life? or is this something... >> guest: no. no. i haven't. i don't know why i even know those numbers, but that -- i believe that's correct. and so he was a victorian, basically, and ... c-span: just a writer? >> guest: no, he worked -- i think he worked for the east india company. he had a bureaucratic job -- day job and did his writing around the edges. he was in the forefront of the whole so-called

, particularly with the rap that talked about real life, they reproduced the liberal turn, and valorizes wealth inequality as opposed to critiquing it. and made a distinction between people taking a moral technique, there making that distinction between people who critique that move was those who go with the flow so to speak. someone who goes with the flow. >> host: is that something you'd disagree with? >> guest: someone with politics something i disagree with. it is what it is. >> host: somebody picks up this book what are two things they are going to learn? >> guest: they are going to learn about neil liberalism. i think that is difficult to talk about black politics without talking about neo liberalism or wealth inequality talking about churches and growth of prosperity gospel or increasing degree to which black mayors in cities like they troy are forced to use austerity policies to rein in increased spending in house city's work. you learn about neo liberalism for hip-hop in that book but you also learn what i tried to do is take the skills that i learned as a political scientist and apply them to reall

why don't you say it as a liberal? >> oh, i tell you why i don't say it right now. because i think it's immoral we have increasing poverty in the country, we have increasing income inequality in the country, decreasing wages -- wait a second. hold on. i'll stick with what you brought up first sean. i just think we're in a situation where we have to invest right now in getting our economy moving as quickly as we can and especially helping middle class families because down the line those kids if they're hurting now those kids will be in greater trouble when we're supposedly leading debt and deficit. by the way, in the president's budget according to all the scoring that's been done so far it really doesn't budge the deficit and the debt numbers. >> $2 trillion -- >> that's not a lot. as a percentage -- >> $2 trillion not a lot. all right. so median income since obama's been president, steve has gone down nearly $3000. health care coverages costs have gone up thousands of dollars. now juan and obama want to keep doing the same thing. what is the definition here of ins

i suspect, pete you see him as a liberal man who has advanced his ideology on his newscast.t's a legitimate beef. but not large enough to celebrate his demise. there comes a time when every person has to decide how to treat those with whom they disagree. not respecting mr. williams fine. wishing him ill? vindictive. that's the tip of the day. >>> that's it for us tonight. check out the factor website which is different from bill o'reilly.com. we would like you to spout off about the factor anywhere in the world. if you wish to opine, word of the day, do not be a snollygoster when writing to the factor. have a good time out here in l.a. 82 today? going to the laker game tonight? the lakers have won like nine games this year. but, you know, again, thanks for watching us. miss megyn is next. remember the spin stops here california, we're definitely looking out for you. >> it is wednesday february 11th. speaking overnight brian william paying the price for his lies about iraq. nbc suspend the face of the network? but is it enough? the brand new information and what happens now.
