some of you had a liberal democrat they would prefer that over a moderate democrat. >> will not see moderates running because they don't think they can win or because they don't value a space in congress like they used to. at the end of the day they don't want. we don't know what's driving at. a lot of members so losing was not a factor. i've never lost an election and not worried about losing this one. these are consistent with members getting reelected. whether or not members like olympia snowe where the case that i'm talking about if they could get elected it would be an uphill battle. but relatively moderate candidates could win. apart from the general impression that people have in politics is distasteful and an undesirable situation. i think it is the case that relatively moderate candidates could win. is it only very conservatives republicans can use are very liberal, or could we have people over more moderate than party leaders? . . >> but as a proportion of those who run, moderate and conformist and ideologues, is only 5% of conformist, 57% of ideologues 53% of moderate otherwise 81%

narrator] the cold war rivalry with the soviet union compelled the us to promote its system of liberal democratic values, free markets, and free trade as a global standard to be emulated. - what the soviets held out was a model of global integration that was connected to social and economic progress for those at the bottom. let's say the american model, liberal internationalism, made a different case. argued that it was not so much the language, the equality of all peoples, but rather the liberty of all people. free speech, freedom of assembly, what we would recognize as american national norms now being exploited worldwide. (foreign chanting) - the united states was worried that the revolutionary rhetoric of communism, that called for a worker revolt, would essentially overturn the sort of established more liberal market oriented border in europe. - we planted ourselves in europe and we said we are going to maintain a bridge head, freedom in democracy in europe and we're gonna protect it from soviet encroachment. and we held that line until the collapse of the soviet union. and then we expanded

there used to be the liberal democrats. cannot see where that places. ed to be the liberal democrats.” been there. done that. it was the great hope. the gang of four. shirley williams and so on and so forth. just because people aren't happy with what exists, doesn't mean to say you need something new.” agree with you there. what you need to do is try to change the current parties are working. nobody seems to have come up with a leader for this new centre party so far. they haven't got the leader, but to kick this off you need a group of mps to actually do it. the obvious place we re actually do it. the obvious place were the people in labour who were againstjeremy corbyn, i do not detect any movement in labour to do that. there is another interesting story in the express. jeremy corbyn is trusted less than donald trump. another survey talking about the opinion polls, we have to be careful when we talk about the opinion polls. in exactly the same way as the independent, it is a proper survey. they did a survey of over 2000 people. what they found is that

the liberal democrats also floated the idea of giving an amnesty to all immigrants.oday it was very clear that basically the home office doesn't know who is here legally or illegally and the default position is potentially everyone is illegal and that is what created the hostile environment. that is creating the problem is that a lot of people who are actually seeking legal status who are perfectly legal to be here because they can't prove the documentation isn't there, no one has asked the decades. you could go somewhere and present a gas bill in order to show who you are. suddenly, everything is tightened up and everybody suddenly has to show documentation... on the specific idea of an amnesty comedy sport at? i deathly figured something we should consider, seeing everything has gone. and facing the problem that we have for eu migrants, creating a generous environment that isn't hostile and accept the eu citizens who here should be here and have that status immediately, without them going through very hostile processes. let's be clear though it was the liberal demo

the leader of the liberal democrats, vince cable, says any military action must be backed by parliament a vote held on this issue. the position is a very dangerous one, because of russian involvement, also because we have a very erratic president of the united states, i don't rule out the fa ct i united states, i don't rule out the fact i and the liberal democrats might support the government if a case is made but it has to be made when we supported interveen venion backin when we supported interveen venion back in 2013 parliament declined to support it, so the mandate has to be secured. support it, so the mandate has to be secured. coming up later you can put any of your questions that you have about this current situation to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams, so any questions about what could potentially be military action in syria, what it might achieve, what is the us and the uk thinking about all of this, any questions of that nature you can send them to paul just after 2.30 to answer as many questions as possible of yours. is number is on the screen. a baby has been born in

and, look, you know, i'm a liberal democrat. i couldn't get elected in west virginia.nd, you know, joe probably couldn't get lented in massachusetts. but we have a lot more common than divides us. the stuff we have in common, we ought to move. the stuff we can't, we have to work out. >> now, there was a democratic congress as recently as 2010. how does a democratic congress in 2019 differ from that one? >> well, you learn from past experiences. and i think, you know, and i think we need to listen to all members and especially the new members about what works and what doesn't work. we need to pay attention to these races that we're winning in very difficult districts. and understand what messages work and what mesms don't. but, -- messages don't. and when people talk about these big differences, between the wing and the establishment, i see a lot more in common. and some of the things we want to do may have to be done incrementally. maybe not all at once. but, you know, based on these last few months, i feel the democrats are coming home and they're more united than eve

let's speak to the liberal democrats leader and former business secretary sir vince cable.onse to huge pressure in the industry particularly from amazon and online, do you understand the reasons for this merger? i can understand the commercial reasons but we have to ta ke commercial reasons but we have to take account of public interest, you are going to get a very substantial concentration of power in the marketplace, in the mid market for this new market will be competing with tesco, they will have a double their position and more important at local level you will get lots of local level you will get lots of local monopolies being created but i was intrigued by the argument being put out that one of the arguments for this merger is that they will be able to get much better procurement, what that means, they will squeeze the farmers and suppliers even more soi the farmers and suppliers even more so i think there is a very strong public interest case here for getting the competition authorities, the cma to investigate it, probably to force them to make advertisement, that w

the time and i do this for 41964 there was more conservative democrats and more liberal republicans andhey were talk to each other and they could compromise on things but since 64 goldwater's denomination they picked equally conservative bill muller and governs nomination and 72 with shriver is at the two parties had been moving steadily further and further apart so there is less room to negotiate and less room to compromise. there's occasionally when you get a democrat like bill clinton elected can negotiate with someone more right or center but traditionally the democratic party since 64 has nominated more liberal nominees with republicans have more nominated conservative nominees. it represents an honest choice to the american voter. >> host: next call is tony in winter, california. tony is not answering or responding. we are not hearing him. we will move to georgia. were going to try robert in stone mountain outside of atlanta. robert you are on the tv. please go ahead. and does anybody else -- i'm not hearing anything. i apologize something is happening there with the phones and i'

some of the liberal democrats had a plan to get albert into the presidency. was a democraton and speaker albert. albert was opposed to this. he was prepared. this document here is a memo sorensen toed speaker albert. it lays out what albert should do if he becomes president. you can look. it says step one, take the oath of office. step two, physically taking over the office. step three, resign from the house. he would have to resign his speakership. it would only be temporarily. this is an interesting piece of history that people don't know about. we think about nixon and impeachment. we don't think about the things that could have potentially happened during that time peirod. -- that time period. in ada, kerr was born oklahoma. he was born in this wonderful log cabin here. he grew up very poor. he worked his way up. had ain the senate, kerr lot of priorities. the number one priority was the arkansas river bed project. the arkansas river runs through part of oklahoma. it goes through tulsa. eventually winds its way to colorado on one end and connects with the

real anger with the liberal democrats.need to distinguish the illegal immigrants from the legal ones. in 1973, britain gave permanent rights to reside here to commonwealth immigrants who had already arrived. back then, we didn't keep a register of the names. this is not a problem that would arise in the country that has id cards but we are allergic to id cards in this country. you could look at this hell case as an example of poor government record—keeping. let's ta ke of poor government record—keeping. let's take a few minutes to watch this is meant forjunior green and his sister doreen. firstly i was born in jamaica, his sister doreen. firstly i was born injamaica, in 1956. his sister doreen. firstly i was born injamaica, in1956. i his sister doreen. firstly i was born injamaica, in 1956. i came over with my mother when i was 15 months old and arrived in england on january, 58. see you have been in the uk since 1958? 60 years. yes, a long time. do you have any childhood memories of jamaica? i've got none whatsoever. i'm

saying that these are not legal that this should have been a vote in parliament will say the liberal democrats have come out criticizing the decision saying pretty much the same thing the green party says this is not the way forward to peace in syria but if you think back a few years ago there was a vote in parliament apartment voted against strikes in syria and that was a very significant decision that has implications perhaps the u.s. as well it is interesting to see this time that theresa may has brought my cabinet together the cabinet has made the decision trees are made is standing by that saying it is illegal and correct decision to make them to briefly if you could would theresa may have the support of the public for any additional strikes. an interesting question the british public a cool test bitter memories of losses in afghanistan and iraq we saw during the iraq war massive demonstrations people taking to the streets that hasn't happened yet but i imagine the british public will be to mind it is they will be asking questions for example of how effective these strikes rating will be

in a liberal democratic state we have due process and law enforcement trying to uphold the values of society and will of law at the same time it pursues justice. credit where credit is due. he didn't vote for obama, he is the republican but he thought obama ran a very honest administration in that perspective and in a few days of trump being president he was always that is already caught in the meatgrinder of the trump clan family. that is a republican speaking. >> from your side of the aisle do you agree with victoria toensing that he should have fired james comey on day one? >> no. it is a 10 year appointment. there had only been one removal ever before in the middle of a 10 year term and -- >> the fbi to build a fence or something. >> we should stick with the idea that a 10 year term means that fbi director goes beyond the longest a pres. can serve which is eight years and it helps to uphold the nonpartisan nature of it and what i think is unfair is people at the department of justice didn't respect comey. i think he was very well respected. you are an inside group, if you speak t

since the time tonight is for nd41964 there were a lot more conservative democrats a lot more liberalepublicans and they would talk to each other and they could compromise on things but since 64 goldwater's omnomination with the bill mullr and governance nomination in 72 with the picked driver is the two parties have been moving steadily further and further apart so there is less room to negotiate a compromise. occasionally you get a centrist democrat like bill clinton elected and then he can negotiate with someone who is more right or center like newt gingrich but traditionally the democratic party since 64 is nominated more liberal nomination where the public party is nominated more conservative nominees is that yes, there is polarization but also represents an honest choice of the american voter. >> host: next call is tony in winters, california. hello, tony. tony is not answering or responding. we are not hearing him. we will move to georgia and try robert in the stone mountains outside of atlanta. robert, you are on book tv, please, go ahead. does anybody else -- i'm not hearing

it was interesting vince cable, the liberal democrat, this morning on the television show is kind ofaying that the public are ahead of the politicians on this? what the treatment of the windrush generation should be? most people in this country were appalled frankly by the way the windrush generation was dealt with. it is one thing to deal with an illegal immigrant which you think is a genuinely illegal immigrant, andi think is a genuinely illegal immigrant, and i think most people in this countries would say it is right to clamp down on illegal immigrants but to take people who have lived here for 50 years, it was absurd. as i've said already, i think that was a sign of the ineptitude and insensitivity of the home office, and that is obviously something the home secretary must ta ke something the home secretary must take responsibility for. john rentoul, looking at potential candidates for this great office of state, who is next for this poisoned chalice? it could be sajid javid, the first non—white home secretary, that would be quite a signal to send to the ethnic minority communit

that is the view there from the liberal democrats.ership. he described an "unprecedented" challenge faced by the university which has to save one hundred million pounds in the wake of collapsing student numbers. staff at the open university had been angered by comments mr horrocks had made, saying academics "get away with not teaching". the royal college of emergency medicine says a chronic shortage of nurses has left some hospitals closing down wards despite rising patient demand. research by the labour party suggests the number of beds in wards, which have been put out of service at some trusts in england, has tripled over four years. the department of health said that trusts control the number of beds to meet high demand at peak periods. the shadow health secretary accused the government of incompetence. a&e log jammed. we have people waiting op trolleys in corridors, unable to get a bed, and the question people will be asking is why is theresa may allowed a situation to develop, where hundreds and hundreds of beds are just left em

that is the essential difference between an authoritarian state and a liberal democratic eight. in a liberal democratic state we , have due process and law enforcement that is trying to uphold the values of the society, the rule of law at the same time that it pursues justice. you know, credit where credit's due. he didn't vote for obama. he's a republican. but he thought that obama ran a very honest administration in that perspective. within a few days of trump being president he was caught in the meat grinder what he essentially describes as the trop crime family. that is a republican speaking, that is not me. >> do you agree that president trump should have fired james comey on day one? >> no, i mean, it's a 10-year appointment. i think there had only been one removal ever before in the middle of a 10-year term and that was some -- >> the fbi to build a fence or something. >> there was an ethical bond or something. but otherwise we should stick with that idea. a 10-year term means he goes beyond that a president could serve which means eight years and it helps hold the nonpol

border patrol agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the border because of ridiculous liberal democrat laws like catch and release. getting more dangerous, cara vans coming. republicans must go to nuclear option to pass tough laws now. no more daca deal. that left questions about the future for millions of immigrants who were brought without documents to the united states as children. because the president directed republicans to pass tough an anti-immigration legislation, some dreamers wonder, what's next. >> i'm not taking his word. i'm not saying, i'm worried. he has done this before. he has said one thing on twitter and the next thing something else. the only thing is consistent is it's inconsistent. >> he canceled the program and said he would like to reach a deal with congress to protect dreams from deportation in exchange for funding to build his long promised wall at the u.s./mexico border. dreamers we talked to say they want a clean dream act that does not put their parents' future in jeopardy. truly keeps families together. president trump's tweets come amid tense negotiation

of all the liberal democratic senators, they are all highbrow and big thinking and they care about evil and all that, but the only one who ever said hello to capitol police when they lost i was bobby kennedy. that struck me. that was a true good guy who truly believed in law enforcement. he also was not a snob. a lot of them are country guys from west virginia and they were double doubles -- double dippers. regular guys. that is so much who bobby was. his friends are not aristocratic. it told me a lot about the guy. host: he had a lot of political enemies. , an officey hoffa right down the street here. hoffa was evil. even like some people. he believed they were bad guys. host: would he have gotten the 1968 nomination? primary byad won the four or five points. i think he would have one in the new york primary six years later but that would've been tough. bosses, irishty guys, i think you could predict they would have all come in for him. comingnson thing was down, humphrey was not that popular. i think when you got to chicago was --st of 1968, there there were things to the cops, you co

that's a difference between authoritarian state and a liberal democratic state. in an authoritarian state all justices corrupted by the whim of the dictator, the autocrat, the crypto crap, the bully who's in charge. in a liberal democratic state we have due process and we law-enforcement that is trying to uphold the values of the society, the rule of law at the same time it pursues justice. credit where credit is due. he says he didn't vote for obama. he's a a republican but he thot obama ran i think a very honest administration from the perspective. within a few days of trumping president he was already caught in the meatgrinder of what is such a discount answer trump clan family. that's republican speaking. >> do you agree with victoria toensing that president trump should've fired james comey on day one? >> i mean no. it's a ten year appointment. i think they're only been one removal ever before in the middle of a ten year term and that -- >> the fbi had to build a fence or something. >> otherwise, , we should stick with that idea. a ten year term means fbi di

my favorite story, and it is a true story, senator george senator, liberal democrat from south dakota, when he lost in a reagan landslide in 1980, he decided to do something different so he went up to connecticut and bought an inn. it went bankrupt and the wall street journal wanted to know what happened. had known howif i difficult it was to run a business, i might have voted differently in the senate. well there you are. west chester, ohio, republican line. caller: good morning. it is a pleasure to speak with you after following you all these years. i am interested in solutions as you are in them. when you look at our health care system, we have 18% of gdp tied up in health care. i think we have to take one issue at a time and look for solutions and take the involvement of the american people. imagine if we just take disease, 161ed billion dollars every year according to the american lung association, and said this is society passes issue, not republican or democrat or government, and then we divided that among all of us and say each lot of us has to contribute $50 or month. we take

democrat. and other cases where liberal republicans joined the democratic party. so this starts a long process. now, it's extenuated by mcgovern in '72 because, again, mcgovern is the nominee. logic dictates he should pick a more conservative running mate to produce a unified convention. but, of course, the convention's a disaster because of eagleton. he ends up with sarge shriver who was admittedly a wonderful, wonderful man and a wonderful, wonderful family, but he was also a liberal x. in this sends -- begins the process of sending more conservative democrats out of the party and attracting more liberal republicans. so by 1980 and here thereafter is that both parties have pretty much nominated only right of center or mostly right of center nominees in the republican party. the democrat party has nominated mostly or all left of center nominees. so we have now the polarization of the two parties that didn't exist. you know, you used to have conservative democrats and liberal republicans, so they could talk to each other. they could compromise. today you have thes

he wants to keep him inside the liberal democrat community. he wants to keep him listening to rational arguments. he wants him not to isolate him. he thinks the most dangerous thing of all with a leader like trump is to isolate him. i think, therefore, if he can sort of inch him back towards a more reasonable position on some of these matters, then he will feel he's achieved something. he's not going to win. he said this very clearly before in the past. you know, sometimes i convince him. sometimes i don't. sometimes he'll win. sometimes he'll fail, but he wants to be seen to be trying. that i think if he can get some movement on syria, then he will feel he has achieved something. >> and back to iran. particularly given the new diplomacy with north korea. this is what he told me about the iran nuclear deal in the context of trying to bring north korea in to the -- you know, into the fold, so to speak. this is what he told me back in september at the u.n. >> north korea is a very good illustration of the what if scenario of the nuclear deal wit
