and classical liberalism is the ideas that there is a place for government in society and a place for a strong private-sector. the same way the private sector shouldn't be over encompassing nor should government be over encompassing. it is a position that sees a role for both government and the private sector. by way of comparison, contemporary libertarianism tends to the view there is very little role for government, almost no role for government but only a job for the private sector. the difference between the two is the relative emphasis on government and the private sector in classical liberalism versus contemporary libertarianism. >> host: who do you consider it contemporary libertarian economist? >> classical liberals friedman and hayek in their younger years but as they age particularly friedman became more of a contemporary libertarian when he was younger, he thought there was a significant role for government, tax policies, taxation, suspect of government but didn't universally condemn it, in san francisco governmen the same extent as friedman. >> host: what is it about fried

again, he was more of the classical liberal view. the time that he wrote, he was in favor of some progressive taxation, he was in favor of emerging welfare state practices, of government. some of his students and others became leading supporters of the french revolution and advocates of early government activity in england, in government including the utilitarians and jeremy bentham, john stewart mill. i would say adam smith was definitely of the classical liberal school rather than the contemporary libertarian school. smith saw that society was not desirable when it was divided between a very few rich and many poor. that's kind of the society that we have now in the united states. that's different than the society that our founders envisioned and that our founders advocated. there's no question that if george washington and thomas jefferson and john adams and james madison and thomas paine and benjamin franklin were here today, they'd be advocating more equality in american society. they wouldn't say a society in which the top 1% ha

earlier, liberal verses conservatist. >> how would you define those? >> an ecumenical protestant is somebody who takes a less literal outlook on skip scripture. evangelical is more literal and talk about the bible says what it means and means what it says. liberals, ecumenicals are more inclined to see room for interpretation, see growth of protestantism, christianity over time as reflecting new wisdom for how to apply it. the evangelicals are firmer on what they would call orthodoxy, want to stick with something that's tried and true, the face of the fathers and all of that. there is a greater flexibility and openness. the ecumenicals, which is where the term comes from, ecumenicals are big on cooperating with other people, with other protestants, other christians, buddhists, muslims, hindus. the ecumenical approach is more copacious whereas evangelicals stay with the old faith, stick with the home truth. i might also mention that a vocabulary complexity of this is that the term main line is often used to talk about the people i am calling ecumenical

liberation i was when we were sort of briefly because most i think that men can be i was i know lots of men who are really amazing feminists is my point is that feminism is about women and so i think it's important to center women's needs and women's. voices and i think that this movement should be led by women and i think that men can support the movement and i think that men can. but they should not be central to the conversation and they should not be central to the political movement. regen. thank you both for joining me in the arena that's our show up front will be back next week. al-jazeera recounts the shocking story of the assassination of count folk abene dot . the first u.n. envoy trying to bring peace to the middle east how is negotiations with him helped save thousands of jews from nazi concentration camps and how these mediation skills put him at the vanguard in the quest for peace in the middle east. killing the count at this time on al-jazeera. november on al-jazeera. in a historic visit the pope will travel to me and my bangladesh bringing more focus to the plight of

terrorists with the principles that are completely eliminated the liberation of. that islamic states presence in syria has shrunk further leaving the group wounded and most crucially more vulnerable perhaps the perfect time for government troops to intensify its anti eisel campaign. yes so big developments let's get further into it with jamal wakim jamal is professor of history and international relations at the lebanese university in beirut you very welcome. the overall picture. is a dirt to dream time holy could it take to liberate the remaining eighty percent of syrian territory for myself do you think. i believe that i salute the collapse. to liberate the remaining eight percent is a matter of time but i believe at the same time the big challenge for the syrian army and their allies is mainly the american interference in eastern syria because they are backing goodish troops to control that area and call for an autonomous region there in order to force the united states to have an area off influence in northeastern syria the liberation front my head in. is a ve

the liberation of tunis here in the french colony also meant the liberation of women. the freeman king for my theology student maintained that this was not at odds with islam although he had the support of an intellectual and reformist elite that dad was fiercely attacked by conservatives and religious traditionalists. from the very beginning religious law and its interpretation have been at the heart of the arab feminist and modernist struggle. egyptian jurist cousin i mean in his book the liberation of women published in one thousand nine hundred nine criticizes one of the most powerful symbols of tradition the veil. opposite of well enough in the preview it appears only before and this. is a comment on the book when the model but was on the bottom of while the devil bit off his out or got the claim that he said you. have a lot of mustard so that after yasser did a film. like that to his eon to her dad because he namee was not looking to oppose islamic self only the traditional interpretation of it by advocating women's liberation he was above all seeking to prevent

ideally if there can have liberal democracy and had when someone is born regardless of circumstance. they have some decent chance. the m american idea got there and each person in their ideas and product are can find out there in a dynamic way and make the best ideas when. it will create a more dynamic and compelling and wealthy and free society. in many ways it has. but the trick is regardless of the circumstances of their great grandparents or parents had that fair shot where you will start over time in decades you will start losing the promise of a liberal democracy. that is where we are out of balance now. that is when you start entering the dangerous realm. up next we feature the university of new england winter writers collection. the special library collection of unique materials with women in maine. it is at the university of new england. and it was founded in 1959.

all it means is to look at feminism as a collective political movement for the liberation of all women and so that's why i talk about moving away from personal choices of focus and personal empowerment as a focus because people can make personal choices as much as they want but how does that contribute to the liberation of all women is the question well let me put that question to jimi and let me also ask you this jimi you've spoken about feminism's as a plural that addresses quote a need to be more expansive about the definition of feminism if for example women choose to work in industries traditionally viewed as harmful objects to find sex work pornography is that a choice that they've made that's advancing women's liberation equality in your view because some would say it is. i believe personally that you know there needs to be a distinction that is made between human trafficking and also people who participate in the sex industry in a variety of ways based on their own choices and their consent and we can look at social systems that would lead us to be in situations that could be o

the syrian regime and supporters enter the efforts to liberate. instead of focusing on fighting isis, they attack partners and frompt to block them liberating the syrian people from the brutality of isis. destructive and its ideology will remain a threat, the liberation will mark the beginning of a new phase in the syrian conflict. as we take away the ability of isis to take it -- carry out attacks, we will see the de-escalation of violence in other battle is across syria. tomorrow, we to welcome the governor of puerto rico to the white house to talk about the ongoing recovery and efforts. hand-in-hand with local leaders in all areas of the country that have been impacted avril natural disasters in recent months. said, wehas repeatedly stand with our fellow citizens. we are here to get them back on their feet. >> the president said earlier today would not allow insurance companies to pad pockets with money from the federal government. the white house has concerns about the alexander murray bill. can you articulate those? we want something that doe

liberal mainstream media. so quick to report rumors, conspiracy theories about president trump, conservatives,a republicans. it comes to a scandal involving a liberal?or they are happy to say maybe we will not cover this. the liberal mainstream media in this country, only caring about allegations and sins against conservatives. for example, the bias press loves to talk about russia, russia, russia. they never told americans about the real russia collusion story. hillary clinton, vladimir putin. uranium one. 145 billion kicked back to the clinton foundation.di we will get to that in a minute. we want to remind you, our viewers, about harvey weinstein's generous donations to all of these democrats over the years. this is something most shows in the mainstream media are glossing over in terms of their coverage. weinstein donated nearly $44,000 to hillary clinton and even more, over $56,000 to the obama victory fund. weinstein gave $97,000 to the democratic national committee. and wrote checks for over $76,000 to

that's that will be interesting the liberals for instance. said that crimea we should look at it as a durable provides a really it and it should not be. an obstacle to a real dialogue with russia now i think that sounds all for regret is also present here in russia even though i don't think the kremlin ever fully articulated i mean there certainly have been many points of no return in the ukrainian crisis and whatever you think about russia's actions for example i think you some of them at least are irreversible and. even if people wanted to go back obviously you cannot do that so the only the only choice remaining is either to preserve the status quo or try to move beyond that what do you think germany would be germany's position at this point of time what do you think what suited better to keep the situation of what it is in a state of a frozen calls like try to mediate the violence or indeed somehow try to overcome it well i think we should try to overcome it and we should try to unfreeze some of those frozen issues. you know i have a one

public opinion or liberal political opinion. we like that fight because we believe that that's a territory where the fight should be done you like a fight also you like a fight also about christian values don't you. you cannot deny claim to be upholding christian values but you cannot deny the very foundations of european culture do but you ignore the pope's call to exhibit those same christian values and open your doors to migrants that you are. really feel you're a follower that oakley was or you were so how do you know he is you also have to know that the religious commands and politics sometimes are in conflict because your first responsibility when it's about taking care of those who are in need goes for your own people that sounds good but at the same time he is a leader of hundreds of other going to let me talk about a religious leader of hundreds of millions of people and your state and central europe you think you know better about religious values and what christianity christian values are than either you have a point

in classrooms, liberal argument are often treated as unquestionable truth. in some cases, conservative students even feel the need to refrain from stating their opinion in fear of being shut down. i appreciate the desire of my administration to ensure that all students on campus feel included yet i do for the state of free speech and intellectual freedom on my college cap is. >> a big liberal arts school of massachusetts. allison: that is a wise and articulate young man. i think it is great you are showing this clip. it allows me to say that i have -- you can't paint with a broad brush what student color -- students of color field. you have some that want to shut down charles murray and on the other hand we have something my office saying this is horrible. i don't agree with this but if i speak out i am being seen as a trader to my people. nobody wants to be that. that is a toxic environment that needs to be changed. brian: trader to what people? allison: they make them feel as an oreo.ey are somehow black on the outside, white on the inside and that is bad.

liberals claim to care the most about women's rights. if they did, hillary clinton and her family foundation would never have taken money from countries like saudi arabia, qatar, the u.a.e. they treat women horribly, many of them kill gays and lesbians, they persecute christians and jews. they're full of it on every single issue that they lecture you that they're morally superior about over republicans. there's a coffee shop owner in seattle, washington. we have the videotape. a group of christian anti-abortion activists that get kicked out all because the owner couldn't tolerate their presence. watch this. >> there's nothing else you can say. >> so we're not welcome here? >> i don't want these people in this place. >> you are not willing to tolerate our presence. >> it's offensive. >> you are going to tolerate that? >> that would be your choice. >> will you tolerate it? >> answer my [beep] question. no, you will sit right here and watch it. >> we don't want -- >> i don't have to [beep] tolerate this. >> then leave. all of you. tell your

the liberation of the mountains as well. in the mountains of humbling these mountains were never liberated at all even during the previous regime the tops of these mountains were never fully controlled today and our forces minutes to reach the mountain peaks and wiped out these mountains the governments of iraq turkey and iran have joined ranks in announcing new measures against iraq's kurdish regional government this follows last month controversial referendum on the future kurdish secession from iraq the non-binding vote was supported by kurds in neighboring countries and as john stratford finds out from. northern iraq the facts of the referendum can be felt across the border in iran as well. these are all new recruits members of the armed wing of the iranian kurdish party that's been demanding greater rights for kurds in iran for more than seventy years. the democratic party of iranian p.t.k. is banned in iran but the kurdish regional government of northern iraq has helped fund the party and allowed its members to train h

raqqa was officially liberated on the 20th of october.s supported by the global coalition against daesh began operations to liberate raqqa injune 2017. military operations are ongoing, the liberation of raqqa this month follows significant daesh territorial losses in iraq, including mosul in july. daesh has now lost over 90% of its territory it once occupied in iraq and syria. the minister's statement was instigated by a labour mp. you will recall that in november 2015, the then prime minister, david cameron, made the case for the liberation of raqqa, cameron, made the case for the liberation of raqqa, which has now been achieved, as central to endorse been achieved, as central to endorse the air strike campaign from the raf which had been taking place in syria since that point. he asked what the next steps would be to defeat is and the evil ideology underpinning it. the minister himself as always been assiduous on this matter. i do say to the government that their failure to offer a statement to this house following the liberation, not o

do liberation of some cities not mean they are defeated. they retain other strongholds that need to be liberated. the riverude towns in valley on the border with syria. more than 60% of their self-proclaimed capital has been liberated. but they continue to use illegal tactics to slow their defeat. as we saw, by preventing civilians to leave. they are using them as human shields. recently, they used a children's a hospital as a fortified headquarters. -- stabilization efforts are ongoing and will take time. institutions and a sensual services are able to rebuild their lives. australia's commitment to the coalition continues. we will continue to support iraq and their security forces so they can keep their people safe. can the minister advise the senate have the us trillion defense force is contributing to the campaign? the want to knowledge people of the adf that make a significant contribution. 26.5 -- that also includes 4000 police trainees. iraqi security forces, a special operations task group continues to work to support counterterroris

a lot of liberal scholars, what can you expect.they were upset because this was the same living constitutionalism they felt they had been fighting, the highest of insults. and a classic campaign to change what was seen as something different. >> two distinguished judges, to be historically unrooted, the most significant question is the possibility of regulation. this included some gun ownership. military type arms, assault weapons, rocket launches, the regulations might be okay. the gun laws are brought and courts rebuff the first two years, 200 cases gun laws -- lower courts could interact restrictions that are consistent. >> those numbers, a lot of cases are criminal cases. in the case of robbing the post office, the second amendment, probably not surprising. the second amendment will disappoint both sides. on both sides of the speech or religion issue. fact of the matter is every right has a certain contour. you understand what that protects and some activities are outside the scope of that. at a minimum, activities that would n

as incumbent chancellor christiane can you can also say they're the much smaller parties like the liberal neo's have five point one percent there's a big losses there for the greens just three point eight percent peter pelters lists the party founded by a former greens lawmaker has four point three percent right now and a party needs at least four percent to secure seats in the australian parliament. all right let's take those results and go straight to vienna where our reporter max hoffman is on the story for us next good to see you we're looking at a future chancellor sebastian courts what can the world expect. we're not entirely sure about that we know he took a tough stance on immigration and the rest of the program was centered around him about his personality as a useful member of the conservatives as somebody who could turn it around maybe because of his youth and he was credible for promising change but not every detail about what that really means now we all do expect that the eventual coalition will be a right wing coalition so will exclude the social democrats most likely it wi

to run a consistent rational russia policy i mean basically the liberals. some partisan democrats have transferred their deep hatred of donald trump to russia and putin now we have to this whole issue of the russian involvement in the us elections there you're right the tells community has given no evidence for it they've simply said sort of catheter on authority that it happened but it's important recognize that many americans believe that it happened i can't resolve this i don't have the technical expertise nor the information they believe that happened if they believe that it happened then of course that is red meat in a partisan political context it's hardly surprising to see democrats leaping for that red meat and in this co-ax of the money they know you don't get me wrong i understand why but i wouldn't leave you with your promise that in order to have a rational russian policy we need to be able credibly to use sticks and impose pain on russia that has been part of it and also have carrots there has to be a deal to end the day the problem is the amer

the liberation of iraq is indeed a critical breakthrough in the fight against islamic state in syria it brings an end to the four month long siege of the city which is it is the defacto capital and headquarters of islamic state in the country but the liberation of the city has come at an immense civilian cost human rights groups estimate that almost all of the city's residents have been forced to flee the city due to the fighting it's also said that thousands of civilians have been killed in coalition bombings this comes as it said almost eighty percent of the city has been completely destroyed but little mention of this from the u.s. president donald trump who instead boasted that u.s. military forces have made more progress against islamic state in the first nine months of his presidency than it had under his predecessor to rock about in the final year of his administration also most curiously is how donald trump mentioned what would be the next phase of the u.s. in syria speaking of a political transition which has come as a bit of a surprise to the russian side and of course the

backed forces in syria have liberated the country's most lucrative oil field from i still. there as all province was captured by the terrorists in twenty fourteen of the site produces up to nine thousand barrels a day became a key moneymaker for the terror group the syrian democratic forces have been fighting terrorists mainly on the eastern side of the euphrates river meanwhile government troops backed by russian and support are are on a separate anti iso mission these exclusive pictures are from the town they recently liberated my indeed the operation began on the west bank of the river and government troops are now clearing up pockets of terrorist resistance on the east side the aussie arabic spoke with residents about what life is like and i still. i saw militants declared jihad a bit more than a month ago this was a general mobilization and everyone had to participate in the established age of those subject to mobilization as from twenty to thirty years did they take all the young pino because many of them escaped the militants confiscated all state property for exampl

unfortunately the syrian regime cannot liberate so the. regime forces attacked our partners in the attempt to block them from liberating the syrian people from the brutality of isis. we know that destructive ideology will remain a threat deviled mark the beginning of the new phase as we take away the ability of isis to plan and carry out attacks we will continue to seek the day escalation of other battlefields across syria. looking ahead to tomorrow we will be welcoming the governor from puerto rico to the white house to talk about the ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts working hand-in-hand with local leaders in all areas of our country impacted by several natural disasters in recent months. as president trump has repeatedly said we stand with our fellow citizens, we are here to helping get them back on their feet. with that i will take your questions. >> the president stated earlier today he would not allow insurance companies to pad pockets with money from the federal government. the white house has concerns about the alexander ever

if you are a liberal we all do this but every once in awhile read the op-ed if you are the liberal justices see whether it is about for a good you cannot defend your own beliefs and how strong is your position to begin with? it is a way to check your own belief and you could actually be wrong. solely see what we're doing is a form of science. it depends on other people testing the hypothesis. and what we want to be true but they may not be per your leeway to find out is to ring gauge with other people >> host: in your book "skeptic?" you write you want to start c-span for science?. >> yes. we kind of have some of that since i wrote that with a history and discovery channel they do some science but they are reading striven so they will steer toward conspiracy theories or the ufo or area 51 and start to look like alex jones. [laughter] but reality doesn't get as good of rating so maybe we need c-span for science id get would sell because science is school. >> are you not a believer of area 51?. >> it is real. it exist it is a military base with a test experimental aircraft for short is true b

it isn't clear what it means to be a liberal. how many different varieties of liberalism were in there so can we define and characterize the positions and i would be delighted to share that. >> i'm just wondering whether the increase you are seeing in the members, how much of that is a definition of people turning off to the brand. >> i don't think the numbers are wrong. this is the concern for these changing. they think they are pretty balanced and they are moderate and a little to the left and a little to the right and what we are seeing among the faculty is they are not just leaning a little to the left, they are strongly to the left. they are strongly progressive and this is completely off from what the average american does and off from what we've been measuring for 30 or 40 years that is what we are seeing in the data. >> the point that it's old is working to your argument because the data is he for trump. so you seem bigger changes now. it's not just because the negative associations which was a whole idea that you were pr

the iraqi people are being victimized by a liberal cultural hypocrisy that is penetrating every single aspect of our lives. the left, liberals like the claim they have more monopoly, superiority on race, women's rights, gay rights, religious freedom. it's a massive live. we will expose that lie. and as the harvey weinstein scandal is exposing come of the left only cares about one thing and one thing only -- money. laura ingraham is here with reaction. brand-new audio just released. attacking the president. listen to this. speak of the volatility -- -- sometimes i feel like she's on reality show. just putting on an act. >> sean: we will have a lot more of that tape and steve bannon is here tonight to react with some pretty strong words. also to form or nfl to make nfl greats are here after another controversial weekend on the football field. mike pence left the colts 40-49ers game. also tonight, republican house majority steve scalise, he was a victim of that shooting, he will respond to the left call for gun control after the biggest shooting. tonight, we have two major announcements.

terrorists with the principle that are completely eliminated the liberation of. that islamic states presence in syria has shrunk further leaving the group wouldn't it and most crucially more vulnerable perhaps the perfect time for government troops to intensify its anti eisel campaign. yeah that's the situation as it stands for more on this let's join him or walk. director of gnosis and organizational reports on syria on the middle east he joins us live you're very welcome how long could it take do you think to liberate this remaining eight percent of syrian territory from. well it's going to take a while because we need to understand that died a short i says doesn't only operate in syria it also operate in adjacent iraq. for example if we push the syrian army and its allies managed to push. all the way towards the syrian iraqi border it would still be some territory on the eastern of the within iraq which is the west and then bought a province that needs to be cleared israel so both countries are all eyes need to work in tandem otherwise you cannot commit many t

has been liberated from myself yeah so why do you expect it to the bottom almost. because over the last few days actually we've been hearing about. some sort of talks between. city and democratic forces in fact which is of course brigades the backbone of these forces have been in direct talks with some of the elements in order to leave that quarter of the city. let's talk about i suppose an army right now how big a blow is this search for the group i think it's a blow but the biggest blow actually has already taken place when they lost most of mosul was in iraq was the de facto capital of ice and it was the city which will be going to be the leader of isis devout he's famous for i did see him on and enjoy in two thousand and fourteen when he declared the islamic. actually is just. to defeat. as an idea i think has become an idea has become like a concept and i think defeating an idea is and needs much more of the security underneath the approach which has been it was so far less important point you raise we'll talk about it in a moment but just first what's happeni

as liberators they regard them as an occupying force why is that you know liberating occupying of course within the one and same country is is a question of interpretation but certainly the kurds. strongholds if you will if there is such a thing their way north of raka and east of rocca and certainly the idea that they were able to go down to iraq and the american guidance support air support and others is because they have really worked as a proxy for the united states in the fight against i so they were trained they were armed they were financed and hence they were they became a formidable force against eisel at least in the last several weeks whereby they were able to liberate iraq for the syrians of course it seemed completely differently from from damascus or from aleppo it doesn't look like the way it looks from washington d.c. they don't see it as liberated in fact you know the same problems facing syria today. the same problems facing iraq today are the same like they faced in both countries before eisel came to existence you know we all think and we all remember as if i still ha
