one of the most encouraging signs in this front is the brand new academic freedom alliance, headquarteredceton, which was launched a couple of weeks ago. still, conservatives must do more than celebrate their past achievements and react defensively to the challenge from the left. to lose their fear of losing, they must redouble their efforts to expand their influence, beyond the ranks or those already committed to the cause. too often it i'ms to me the conservative parallel universe does not engage sufficiently with those who live outside its boundaries, and that includes millions of americans, including asian, hispanic, and black americans. who in the past year have been repelled by the fanaticism and the liberalism of the woke left. more than at any other moment in recent times these americans are open to conservative outreach. in pursuit of these and other opportunities, conservatives must not for sake the language of liberty and persuasion for the apocalypse language of war and successful politics as reagan taught is about addition, not subtraction. in this time of uncertainty and per

but it seems to me there are developing a potential of the economic freedom alliance i referenced earlier is exploiting to common ground in support of the basic elements of a free society. especially in academia and journalism. that is to say liberty of expressions liberty of discourse and soo on. i think the conservators should do more to reach out to these people, not for grand alliances simply to have that interaction. it devours its children. we have a revolution like this a cultural revolution right now from the left, there are those who dissent from it do not go far or phyllis gone too far they get pushed to the side. i would speculate a little this might be the makings of a new wave of what we call neoconservatism. people on the left have been disillusioned and move toward the right if not necessary full-blown into the conservative camp. i may have one more example of this, or something counted about three years ago not sure it's called the walkaway movement . people mostly in their 20s and 30s who've grown up in the left a very conventional liberal perhaps. they are walking away f

brent: for more now, i am joined by a dutch member of the greens european freedom alliance, the europeanarliament. it's good to have you onhe program. greece has been on the front lines of the migration crisis for many years. you recently traveled to a detention camp there. were you concern by what you saw? >> yes, example he -- exactly. the so-called multipurpose center is almost ready for asylum-seekers to be placed, so what you see, gradually, is that the camps that we know now with substandard conditions are being either replaced by new centers and then surrounded by fenders -- fences with the possibility to close them completely, or the current camps are being surrounded by walls or fences. there is an ongoing dispute between the eu and greece that the commission says it should not be closed centers, because if you ask for asylum, that's no reason to be detained. but within the greek discussion, we hear there is an intention indeed to detain asylum-seekers. brent: do you get the dis senset greece is failing its obligation under international law? >> the situation has become harsher

it is now evolving into a more comprehensive alliance -- freedom, democracy, rule of law, and in so doingne of the great alliances of history. the world is now faced with a common crisis of infectious disease and climate change, yet we have the power of solidarity and cooperation. this very power inspires us to say -- to stay hopeful each and every time. build back better is giving such hope not only to americans but the entirety of humanity. the u.s. and korea at every painful turn and every moment of glory have always been there for each other. as you continue to move forward for every occasion that would call for the strength of alliance, korea will always stand with america. korean war veterans and on my first overseas trip, i visited a battle memorial. the peoples of korea and the u.s. truly humbled by the courage of this battle heroes and they lifted each other's spirits and found comfort in one another. last year, the remains of the five heroes who had been uncovered where repatriated to the united states by korea with the utmost courtesy. while bidding farewell to the war heroes a

america will not back away from our commitments to human rights and fundamental freedom -- freedoms and our alliances. i pointed out to them, no responsible american president could remain silent when basic human rights are being so be -- blatantly violated. american president -- an american president has to represent the essence of what our country stands for. america is an idea. the most unique idea in history. we are created, all of us, equal. it is who we are. and we can't walk away from that principle. we are dealing with the american idea. with regard to russia, i know it concern some of you but i made very clear to putin that we are not going to seek -- excuse me, escalation. but there actions will have consequences if it turns out to be true and they turned out to be true so i responded directly and proportionally to russia's interference in our elections and cyber attacks on our government and businesses. they did both of these things and i told them we will respond and we have. but we can also cooperate when it is in our mutual interest. we did it when we extended a new treaty in nuclear ar

freedom. but the paths would have been blocked if the atlantic alliance had not stood together. if your country and mine had not stood together. that has never forget that lesson. britain is at the heart of a growing movement towards greater cohesion within europe. and within the european community in particular this is going to mean radical economic social and political evolution. nato too is adapting to the new realities in eastern europe and the soviet union. and to changing attitudes in the west it is britain's prime concern. to ensure that the new europe is open and liberal and that it works in growing harmony with the united states and the other members of the atlantic community. all our history in this and earlier centuries. underlines the basic point that the best progress is made when europeans and americans act in concert. we must not allow ourselves to be enticed into a form of continental insularity. i believe this is a particularly important now at a time of major social and mental and economic changes in your continent. and in asia and africa we must make sure that

and i think it was a strategic mistake of the highest order freedom not somebody who's in alliances for the sake of alliances. we have them for strategic purposes and in the asia-pacific asia pacific region. we have to have the participation in an area. and then secondly, the trump administration imposed on our allies causing china tariff and the same time heading in a very strong policy against china and also causing counterterrorism. [inaudible]. and i think the first set, they weekend their resolve to help us address the very real problems with china. and while a lot of american companies were willing to maybe endure the tariff for some period of time, they did it actually make any progress toward electing the bad behavior or 19 other things. we just got more purchases. i think to correctly identify the problem didn't make too much progress in actually affecting and changing bad behavior. >> thank you congresswoman rep. stephanie murphy. we didn't even get that much. so we've heard some praise and criticism of the trump administration approach i thank you so very appropriate from the

she has disparaged religious freedom groups like the alliance defending freedom. she is opposed -- she has opposed important supreme court decisions protecting religious liberty, individual supreme court justices, and even some of my colleagues. she has held republican nominees to a standard that she didn't want to apply to herself. ms. clarke has run away from her record. i asked her at the hearing whether mumia abu-jamal the country's most notorious cop killer was a political prisoner. like someone said at a conference that she helped organize. she wouldn't answer. telling me she was unfamiliar with the case. given her youthful activism, i find this very hard to believe. last summer, she wrote an article in "newsweek" advocating for defunding the police, but she insists the words on the page aren't what she meant. i'm sorry. but if she is -- if it's not what she meant then she shouldn't have said it. i don't think she is the right person for this job at this time. a nominee to lead the civil rights division should be nonpartisan, should be independent, and shoul
