i'm liberal. i'm a liberal. but you said a-- it's not apologetic, but you are telling them, "oh, don't applaud that." right, because that implies that i'm being sanctimonious or soapboxing it. i am not on a soapbox. and when people applaud, it's just as annoy-- it's sort of as annoying as when a politician gives a speech and he drops in the appropriate amount of buzzwords, and-- [clapping] you know, president bush says "wanted dead or alive" and "evildoers," and there's applause. so i don't want applause. like, it's irritating to me. you make your money by making people laugh. mm-hmm. well, hopefully. all right, so why go to political humor when it's tough to make people laugh? well, because sometimes you hope that it does strike a chord and that people do think it's funny. and sometimes you hope that people go, "oh, i didn't think of that," you know? "that's--yeah, i didn't think of that." you know, "when--you know, "the so-and-so was spinning the enron thing, "i didn't think about that, that that just makes no

a phobic and racist to basically seize the ground and dictate the debate but in this silence the liberal campus also armed the right wing on the muslim side what i call the muslim right wing so if the political right wing is engaging in this cheap populism as miriam is saying the muslim right wing is equally in gauged into populism in that it's using the new card and women face veil as a wave of pushing back and women obviously are the ones who suffer in the middle now i as a muslim and as a feminist will not sacrifice women or hard fought for women's rights just because the liberals remain silence i also identifies a liberal and i will not allow women to disappear in the name of fighting the political right wing because this is an ideology the ideology behind the niqab is a massage and this is an ideology that equates in a very dangerous way the disappearance of women and piety and this is not the islam that i practice but also in a very practical way this is another issue that we're silent it's not just about security it's about human interaction if i'm sitting across the table from yo

as we like to be we sometimes pass in liberal laws that are for the greater good and this is one of these circumstances i support a book about and while i detest the political right wing and the muslim right wing because i detest the ideology behind the book and the niqab because it's sexism but i also believe the human face the central and this is one of these points where i say personal choice is sacrificed for the greater good because it is important for us to see each other's faces this is not me saying i'm going to have to. settle down and i jump in there outside my own. right we could talk about this for a long time many thanks to my guests today and londoners and to me york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here to argue see you next time remember cross talk me. russia melts the country's record breaking heat wave goes all. also last resort ukraine's popular some a destination odessa is revealed as a center for the illegal sex trade. and health bill hawley aid workers bring medical care books to the poverty stricken in remote parts of india.

but walter cronkite was a liberal, and his point of view was establishment liberal, and barry goldwater was treated as an oddity by the major networks. barry goldwater is--cronkite would say it, and you can get the old tapes out. "barry goldwater said today..." i got it. there's something wrong with the guy. there was a sense he was off the--off somewhere. he wasn't really somebody to be respected intellectually. and the media was like that, and prime time television is very secular, it's very liberal. it's liberal on things like gay rights and respect for gay people and for all kinds of things. you never see anybody saying on "frasier," "i got to go to church now." it just was that way. and i think a lot of conservatives say, "that doesn't represent my life. i've got to offer--so when fox came along, they said, fair and balanced. and everybody knew that was a joke. nobody really believes it's fair and balanced. nobody who watches it believes it's fair and balanced. they believe it balances off the liberal media, and they think it's fair only in the sense that it's getting even. they do

it takes liberal editorial stance. its lineup of regular columnists is overwhelmingly liberal. even its one reliably conservative columnist david brooks is an iconoclast who does not fit any category easily. another person's who looks to be a developing conservative columnist does not fallen to reclassification. but, i think the impact of the editorial and op-ed pages and tend to create an aura that can spread over the paper. it is also true -- "the new york times" is published in new york. over half of the readership is in the tristate area. it is a national newspaper, but it is based in its mindset, which comes out of that world. it is socially more liberal than other parts of the country, for sure. on the weddings pages, there are same-sex couples. there are marriages and unions that are placed right next to heterosexual marriages. they have been for a number of years. the paper does not give serious credence to creationism or intelligent design. i think there is a view of the world that some on what i would call the far-right don't even share before you get the questions of

its lineup of: this is a liberal, -- why not of columnists is liberal. bruxism iconoclast who does not hit -- brooks is an icon of close to who does not fit into a category, -- is an iconoclast who does not fit into a category. i think the impact of the editorial and op-ed pages tends to create an aura that can spread over the rest of the paper, and i think it is also true, it is published in new york, where more than half its readership is in the new york metropolitan or tristate area. it is a national newspaper, and it is coming out of that world. it is socially more liberal than other parts of the country for sure. on the wedding's pages, there are same-sex couples placed right next to heterosexual marriages and have been for a number of years. the paper does not give serious credence to intelligent design, and i think there is a view of the world the some on the right or the far right do not even share. >> you said on one column it is not the fox news of the left. what did you mean by that? >> what i meant is fox news is designed to appeal to and com

the democratic party who say it's too liberal has risen by 22 percentage points. if you think of this election, well, they won't lose house seats in berkeley or austin, texas, they're going to lose how was seats in ohio, in central pennsylvania, indiana, places like that. >> let's be specific for a moment. the death of the declaration of the death of the energy bill by the senate, what happened? what caused that to happen? >> well, this was always going to be a tough fight and we have talk about this. you had the republicans who didn't want to raise the energy taxes and you had the midwest and places like that who didn't want to punish coal producers. so it was going to be a tough fight and i guess the one thing that sort of frustrates me is that we have had a lot of information about global warming from al gore and many others. and while that has happened -- >> and an oil spill. >> and an oil spill, but while all that has happened, support for the response to global warming has gone down in the american public. that's because a lot of the global warming informati

this is the first time a liberal leader has been in this position since the 1920s. given the right honorable gentleman's great longevity in politics, that was probably around the time he first joined a labor shadow cabinet. as to the right honorable gentleman's question about our engagement in afghanistan, the prime minister has been clear, and we have been clear as a coalition government, that we do not wish to see british troops in a combat role in afghanistan by 2015 -- not 2014, as the right honorable member for blackburn suggested. that is consistent, of course, with the timetable for the afghan forces assuming responsibility for security by 2014, as agreed in the kabul conference yesterday. no timetable can be chiseled in stone, but we are absolutely determined, given how long we have been in afghanistan and given that we are six months into an 18-month military strategy and embarking on a new political strategy, to be out of a combat role by 2015. >> i am grateful to the right honorable gentleman for his welcome of my appearance, probably my one and only appe

she is an honest liberal.h more honest can you get the and just before the health care bill passed? she told the american people if you want to find out what's in the health care bill you are going to have to pass it. because they did in the dead of night with last minute amendments and all ofthat. that's honesty. there's a lot of honesty happening at the netroots nation. they are depressed and they are confused. because people -- [applause] people don't seem to want to change america quite the way they want to. in fact overt the netroots nation you could walk through the deepest optimism and not get your ankles wet. [applause] y is that? last year i was at etrots nation and even there the health care bill was sinking in the pollthe town hall meetings had occurred, and they were told over and over again a year ago and over and over in the months since all you have to do is pass this health care bill and the american people will accept it and they will finally embrace it and adopted. well, how is that working o

he embraced a liberal -- he made it the party of government. when the party is antigovernment. >> he brought the economy back from the brink. how else would he have done it? >> a fair question to ask when the president has 39% approval with independent voters. isn't there a problem that goes beyond jobs? don't you think we reached a point where people are reaching a point where obama is liberal, not a uniter, not the healer that he ran as that his team still believes he is. when he gets in the suit, you know what they do? go talk. >> the transpolitical figure. i think beyond politics? >> i call them the governing. >> 39%, that's almost what? what is it, buchanan? >> exit question. what do you call a president who sticks to his own, predetermined change agenda at a time of economic crisis and at a time of record post war joblessness. what do you call that? >> one of two things. he could be stubborn of principal. >> i think both. this man is two presidents. he is the one he campaigned on and the one he was handed, which was a huge financial mess

doubts in the world that it can really pull itself out or is there just simply an indictment of neo liberal capitalism a certain model that has come out of the west during that say the reagan years. i think it's more the latter if you look at the debate going on for example in the united states you find there's a lot of anger at the at the bad steps taken by big business but also a great deal of hesitation about big government involvement i think the general view is the system in principle wrong by the uni it needs regulation it needs oversight and frankly needs more ethics but i don't think there is a mood in the us for a fundamental change i think it's projected more debate abroad about models particularly because the world bank and the i.m.f. and the united states for a long time was projecting a particular model of voice you might call neo liberal economic policy and that's probably taken something of a hit internationally ok sean if i go to you carol this is exactly where i want to go let's look at countries like the bric countries brazil russia india china. they're sitting on the fenc

the liberals have given up on those issues they know they are not going to win. they are working very hard to infuse those issues into popular culture. >> our constitution was made only for a moral and religs people, i blobe that is very true. i'm majoring in mechanical engineering. i am very concern. about the tax structure. there's a lot of student that's come over to study at our they are going to go back to asia and start engineering from there and charge a lot less because their taxes are less. >> as coach george allen said, the time is now. >> nornle thing is have a creative event as it was talked about earlier. having a flobal warming beach party would be a great idea it would be a great idea to do it a week before dead week when it's getting colder in the fall. >> take action, get involved with a came pain. we need people that are very principals and not going to bow down. you can get informed. read information on big government. if you become an issue on prolife, become an expert and people will seek you out. let's grow the movement because we are the fu

she's liberal. that one caught me by surprise but, yeah, she's liberal. sort of expected that actually. when it came to being solicit general, i think she's handled herself pretty well. some of my colleagues have problems the way she represented the government. i understand their concerns but genelly speaking i thought she's done a good job representing our nation on terror issues which are very, very important to me. we'll have a lot of news being made today. the prime minister of great britain and president obama are going to be meeting today to talk about afghanistan so let's remember there is a lot going on and we're at war. so i think she understands we're at war. when it comes time to evaluate people, i tend to listen to what people who have known the nominee longer than i have, what they say. and particularly impressive when a conservative can say something good about a liberal. that's being lost in this country a bit. and it's vice versa b miguel estrada's letter really hit me hard. he said if such a person who has demonstrated great intellect, hi

kennedy , considered to be very liberal at the time. today they call him a whackow, a crazy man, because he proposed tax cuts. i hear from my democratic colleagues that they want to tax the rich, they want to tax them even more. well, who are the rich? it's the small businesses of this country. most business men and women file their taxes as a sub-s corporation which means they file their business taxes on personal income taxes. my democratic colleagues say they're making too much money, we wanted here to create a bigger socialistic government and quheas that going to do? it's -- and what's that going to do? it's going to kill jobs. it's going to take jobs away from millions of americans. and my democratic colleagues want to tax small business to the hilt. they're not happy with the high tax rates that small businesses are already suffering from. they want more taxes on the so-called rich, the rich of the little mom and pop grocery stores, the little hardware stores, the small community businesses, it's not the wal-marts, the at&t's, th

traditional media are so afraid of being called liberal god forbid they be called liberal that they areth any kind of right wing propaganda and treat it as news. running or taking your time before you run with a story is not liberalism. that's journalism. i think the right has been running the campaign for 30 years. they've had a lot of success. we should worry about it. look over both shoulders and the facts. >> there's a squabble culture out there. there's regular media. we were give an phrase if your mother tells you she loves you, check it out. so that's it. you would never run an exert from a speech unless you checked it out. they don't know anything about policies and don't care about government, they just want that squabble. my rule is stay away from squabble culture. don't get in there. >> that's easier said than done when the white house press secretary walks into the room and the only question people want to ask is how are you going to react? what are you going to do? what are you going to do? you have an edited speech that was designed to create this outcome that becomes "the

w're always the liberal use of the votes in the democrats. but i am here say that times are changing on the college campuses, and barack obama is helpin us a lot with that -- thank you, mr. president. but we're winning this issue of abortion. it is so vital we are out there on the college campuses. it is vital that you are out there, not being afraid to say that you are pro-life. i hope that 99% of you in this room are pro-life and you understand the importance of the right to life and how it retes to all the conservative issues. that is how important it is. we need you to be on your college campuses speaking for life and defended the unborn. even if you are a man, you can save the unborn. you can help women. 52% of all abortions occur on high school and college age women, 52%. planned parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, a $1 billion industry and recipient of the many tax dollars, over 3 hitter million dollars this year, they target college campuses, both women and went -- and men, for other services. we have had abortion now

him up against the liberal establishment. >> this is a circus. it's a national disgrace. and from my standpoint, as a black american, as far as i'm concerned, it is a high tech lynching for uppity blacks who dare to think for themselves. >> i saw a glimpse of the matrix and i started to ask some very tough questions of myself. >> reporter: breitbart soon signed on to work for a conservative website, the drudge report, which he helped build into an internet colossus. and he helped launch the liberal site the huffington post. >> yeah, i don't -- that's the one thing i don't talk about. i mean, matt is an international man of mystery, and the last time i saw him was running into him at -- at the white house correspondents dinner in 2005. that's the last time i saw him. i will say this. boy did i get lucky to work with matt drudge and arianna huffington. >> reporter: now it's breitbart who has a agagenius for buzz, f getting stuff out there that he knows the media can't resist covering, like the 2009 uproar over undercover videos shot by james o'keef

not just but i could spend on a liberal cause, but a conservative cause. >> at department, everybody gets cleared for top- secret. >> dana priest and william parkin spent two years on this story, in this age of instant communication. tea party comes to congress. >> we are opening up our doors to members of congress and letting the people with real stories and realize speak to us about their concerns. >> that is minnesota republican michelle bachmann on the formation of the tea party caucus in the house. she says she will sit down with ordinary americans who she says want to take their country back. from whom do they wish to take the country back. >> let me explain to people who are watching for the first time that this is the weekly sarah palin said it -- weekly sarah palin segment. >> no, that is michelle bachmann. >> she is the summer substitute. i just wanted to explain to anyone who -- >> the pollster stanley greenberg did the definitive survey of who these folks are, and what is fascinating is that he exploded a couple of minutes that are charged by congresswoman michelle bachma

the favorite liberal chick place. there were three freshmen and there, including myself and a junior. that night, the group was born. the reason i decided to do it was to take a stand against what was going on in our country. we had some of the town hall meetings that past summer and i cannot believe that people with such a radical ideas were occupying the executive branch, words that -- were occupying the judiciary. we had a full professor that served as our sponsor, which was very nice. he was well respected. it took a while to get founded. first, we had to give our constitution approved. we tried to use the constitution from the young conservatives of texas club. i am sure many of you have occurred about their activism. the administration really did not like that. they're pretty nit picky about your style and format for your constitution. we ended up paring down our constitution allots and finally got it approved. we held a health care form. we had matt ball, we had a longtime liberal activist who actually said he

this is liberating information. if you wander around hospitals, and you say to the nurses are there ways you can make the system be better? of course. they will give you 25 answers for how to do it. you say why don't you do it? they will say because no one has ever asked me. you take the most dedicated work force in my industry anywhere, and you stick them in a little box, and you say you do a job. a third of what a nurse does in a typical day is documentation. very frequently taking things from a computer and writing them on paper. usually we think about going the other way. oftentimes it is converting things back. so we take the most productive work force, the most dedicated work force, and we stick them in walls and say don't think innovatively, but make changes, and the result turns out to be a huge waste. how do we solve this? here is what steps i would encourage. number one, push on the administrative cost. the administrative waves is probably about $250 billion to $300 billion a year. we should be able to cut

what a liberal s i think you're a liberal. i think you're proud enough to defend that. you have a very different belief system from the people that i come from. it's not wrong to have that belief system. it is wrong for us not to know what you believe about a lot of things. you're very pro-choice. you believe in a woman's right to choose. you believe in the gender mix marriages or gay marriage. you believe that states ought to recognize those throughout -- if i say something that is inappropriate, please tell me. >> well, senator, i suppose what i would want to say at this point is that the way i would vote as a legislator with respect to any or all of those issues is -- >> i'm not trying to label as a judge. i'm just saying it's important -- i'm not saying you're not going to have the capability to separate those positions. i'm not saying. that but it is important. you think there is appropriate time to use foreign law in your solicitor general testimony in terms of answers to questions. >> may i interrupt you on that one, to

on the left, liberalism. that name -- we call people moderate -- modern liberals. there is a doctrine that has been established for quite a while. progressivism is being practiced by our government. on the other hand, is what i call the american ideal. that is the doctrine or the ideas or principles that built this country that our founders used to establish this country. there is something really special and very unique about this country. i would say something exceptional about america. it is not exceptional because we love our country a lot, but because of the american idea. it is basically this. our rights come before the government. it comes from god in nature, not government. that is the heart and soul of the american idea. it is the job of the government to protect our people. we built this country on principles of liberty, freedom, free enterprise, and others. the role of the government is to protect us so we have equal opportunities so we can go out and make the most of our lives. it is the most free doctrine ever accomplished. it is the freest country we

and the united states for a long time was projecting a particular model of voice you might call neo liberal economic policy and that's probably taken something of a hit internationally ok sean if i can go to you care of this is exactly where i want to go let's look at countries like the bric countries brazil russia india china. they're sitting on the fence the way i look at it is seeing if we're going to go into a job you are not they certainly see that the the west the the rich west didn't go through with their own policy economic policies of being more frugal be regulating their economies everybody else did it in more or less caught through this but at the west it didn't so i mean what kind of message if we could follow up what princeton had to say you know the rest of the world is there are growing doubts that maybe things can be done in a different way and i mean from every sense in this just not in finance and economics but even democracy and other issues like that. well i think i mean i agree fundamentally with princeton i do think that. this is an indictment of a certain economic mod

the liberal government messes up everything it touches. it can't figure out how to put a stopper in: the bottom of an ocean. they can't figure out how to put a plant to put a stopper in the bottom of the ocean. in st. louis a day ago in a big hearing about the veterans hospital, they were not cleaning dental instruments and people were exposed to hiv and hepatitis these democrats were outraged that their government debt from medical system was exposing people. did it ever crossed there might admit that the government should not be in the medical business to begin with? who has killed more people in all the words of history? his government's killing their own citizens. -- it is government killing their own citizens they don't want to acknowledge the real god and they don't want the government to be the servant of the people. that is what we believe in. you made to make sure that people know what socialism is so when they see it they vote no on it. i brought a chart along. you said bush spent too much -- too much money. he did. this is his l

and that's a case that went the liberal direction.he's the one who r8 controls the biggest decisions, i think. >> brown: but in the other cases where, and for example, paul butler i think it was who said, that the chief justice was-- got his way, i think he put t 90%. that means he voted on the winning side. >> that's right. he was in the majority 90% of the time. but a goodly number of those cases he was actually along with the left there might be six to three cases. so i gave that you juvenile life without parole example. he was with the liberals if in the result although he voted for a narrower standard in that case. so he really is trying to lead the court, i think. he is trying not to be uniformly aligned with the conservatives. >> brown: let me ask you to start this negotiation round of questions. which is where, when you look at the intellectual energy or the pushing on this court where does it come from? >> here paul butler is, i think right, where the direction of the court when it comes to moving the law is with the conserva

cows and chickens pam i think i agree with you up until that point i thought the canadians were all liberal and free thinking too and you know they were known for their exotic dancing but you know then it's later on in the quote where she really loses me however she continues on and says in some parts of the world women are forced to cover their whole bodies with burqas is that next right because the canadian government is going to let you pose half naked on a billboard in montreal they're obviously going to start making everybody wear a burka give me a break and i love you but that's a little too far so tool time no. or one tonight goes to pam for being an idiot which i know isn't all that shocking but to a time they were to go to the canadian officials that banned this at we hate pam wants to pose half naked on a billboard to save the chickens i say have at it i'm pretty sure the people wouldn't complain either. all right back to serious stories since today is the sixty fifth anniversary of the first nuclear test we couldn't help but bring up the new start treaty which is currently being
