that brings me to george orwell. another great journalist. we think of him as a novelist, farm," andof "animal he was those things. he was his whole life a journalist. he made his living by writing for newspapers and magazines as a literary journalist and so forth. his great success came at the end of his life, but he spent his life in journalism. i have heard him called every conservatives favorite liberal, and every liberals favorite conservative. he was a highly political writer. it's hard to find political writers who are admired across the political spectrum. he is one of them. his politics were a little bit confusing at times. he did maintain his whole life he was a socialist. the best description is anti-totalitarian. widely admired by all kinds of people. 30'sote a book in the called the homage to collect -- catalonia. in his lifetime, it sold like 700 copies. of the spanishr civil war. when spain was having a civil war in a proxy battle between fascism and communism, he went theight on the side of socialists and joined a militia. he

i'd love to see people who read george orwell, where they stand in all this. because to me i'd be willing to bet people who read 1984 animal farm would be disproportionately worried about america today and donald trump based on what's happening before our eyes. >> do you think there'll be a moment of reckoning where people will realize, matt, i don't know if there's an epiphany moment or like oh, my gosh, i've been duped or no? >> i don't know. i will tell you this i think it's obviously problematic when we -- >> some people -- old on one second and you'll finish. some people had that moment when they did their tax returns, but go on. >> well, what happens when we don't just disagree over the call but we disagree over who actually won the election, the next election? it could get real, right? >> yeah. thank you all. appreciate it. >>> welill the president's call with leaders be even worse now there are fewer aides listening in? these questions and more for fareed zakaria. he's next.

in 1984 george orwell wrote his dystopian regime told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ear actually figured out a tactic even more pernicious. fox news' own masters of orwellian double speak, and hannity, karlssons and doosys are the ones who smugly declare down up and up down aren't even bothering to tell their viewers to ignore their eyes and ears because the truth never even approaches air time. they're not going to read or hear this and suddenly have an epiphany. so what needs to happen? >> well, it's a good question and it's a tough one, and i don't know that sort of we in the media or we in the political world have figured out how to address and tackle this. i do think that sort of the first step of tackling it in however it needs to be addressed is simply sort of naming it, and that, you know, one of the challenges that fox has laid out is that they have sort of spent year after year attempting to de-legitimize any political opposition. the idea that any democrat is evil and anyone who opposes the president's policies is part of the deep state, and that's not the tra

denying facts, ditching history, abandoning principles, it's leading republicans towards something george orwellned us about. the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. it was their final most essential command. and that's your reality check. >> you know, john, it does seem as if sometimes the president is reading out of 1984, quoting directly for it unironically at times. >> watch out, wake up. >> john, thank you very much. >>> well, she has long been one of the most mysterious figures in the white house, first lady melania trump. now a new biography reveals her thoughts on her family, her politics, even her wardrobe. the author joins us next. yet some say it isn't real milk. i guess those cows must actually be big dogs. sit! i said sit! wwithout it, i cannot write myl tremors wouldname.xtreme. i was diagnosed with parkinson's. i had to retire from law enforcement. it was devastating. one of my medications is three thousand dollars per month. prescription drugs do not work if you cannot afford them. for sixty years, aarp has been fighting for people like larry. and we won'

as well as in the soviet sphere, talked of peace in ways that could have come straight out of george orwell's4. much like the mystery of peace in the novel whose purpose was to wage war. leaders seek to associate peace with strength and military preparedness. andfor much of the 1950's 1960's, western policymakers accused peace advocates of at best, being naÏve and dangerously idealistic. one of my friends who wrote about nuclear strategy talked about kumbaya and hold hands groups. that irked me a little bit and drove me more into the subject. at best, they were idealistic and at worst they were communist agents undermining west national security. in short, these people regarding peace as a threat to national security. to the firstrn misconception. deterrence works. this is the crux of my first point. in u.s. no clear strategy as well is contempt a nuclear strategist in the u.s., the consensus still prevails, nuclearlear -- that the arms race prevented the soviet union and the u.s. from going to war against each other, and that deterrence is still a useful approach to u.s. foreign policy. in o

this is straight out of george orwell. i want to go back to the press conference.here was another moment in there that shows you what is going on. someone asked the speaker what -- moment. there is no telling how many were killed while this aid was withheld. it's already been testified about. never any impairment militarily to respond to the russians. there was no shortfall ever. they still received aid. moment wasink her pressuring the ukrainian government to come up something he did use against his leading political opponent. about, she was giving eulogies at a funeral the week that happened. that is where she began to realize there was a new set of facts on the table. some of her moderate freshmen members decided they could support impeachment over this. pelosi, who is the best vote counter we have seen, she began to understand this wasn't some push by those left-leaning liberals in her caucus. this was a consensus. host: mike pence was interviewed on foxnews last night. what question do you want to ask him? guest: there are so many. host: he met with the ukrain

facebook, twitter and some of these other conglomerates can be a 1984 george orwell-type situation whererol what we think by controlling what we. communicate. to me, that is a clear violation. the ideas that we can put them into the public forum and advance them, i'm very much concerned about a provision in the usmca that warrants the ability of congress to help ensure that our first amendment freedom of speech rights are respected by these social media conglomerates. host: if you see that or other concerns, would you vote against it? as a hypothetical? guest: there are circumstances in which i will look for it and against it. i really need to see what it is. this new version has only been out for a day or two. i'm not even sure if it has been reduced to writing or has been transmitted to the public. i am going to wait and see. i hope the leadership will give us enough time to actually review what we are doing so that we can make a more informed decision. there is always the risk that they will just try to jam it down our throats before the american people and we as officials have times

these documents bring to mind george orwell's famous novel "1984" not as the cautionary tale as he meant it, but as an instruction manual for the totalitarian government in beijing. this reign of terror began in 2014 after a string of terror attacks in xinjiang province. but instead of bringing those terrorists to justice, the chinese communist party used the attacks as an opportunity to eradicate all dissent, all wrong think from a province of 25 million residents. it would be as if y -- you tried to turn the state of texas into a concentration camp. these documents reveal a stunning order from general secretary xi jinping who said we must be as harsh as them as show them no mercy. so to beat these terrorists, beijing chose to adopt the tactics of terror. every uighur and dissenter in the province is suffering as a result every secretary xi tapped one of the most notorious enforcers to execute this mission, a man named chin who climbed the ranks of the communist party first by crushing dissent and religious diversity in the northwestern chinese province of tibet. and the techniques tha
