why liberalism failed. first of all, if you would, define liberal democracy for us in your view. >> i'm sure many of your viewers want to hear the or liberalism. i mean it as a political operating system of the west, the united states, britain, europe. , europe. the political philosophy done that gave rise to our constitutional order. the government's role and protecting those rights if you have a more libertarian view or making it possible for you to have the full enjoyment of those rights if you have a more progressive view. the purpose is to provide liberty and protect liberty. this very purpose in this very end is undermined to protect and give rise to. >> we will into that. ten both democrat, republicans, conservatives, do they do they all consider themselves to be liberal democrats to their extent? >> what we think of as our political spectrum is basically right-leaning liberals and left-leaning liberals or has been until very recent times. what we have seen in the west is largely a debate within the

one liberal democrat voter saidi people. one liberal democrat voter said ifeel people.feel betrayed people. one liberal democrat voter said ifeel betrayed byjo people. one liberal democrat voter said i feel betrayed byjo swinson's policy. i will be voting conservative on thursday. joe says demi means doing what was voted for in the referendum. democracy seems to have gone. andy, what a shame the country is in a mess, how have the liberal democrats managed to mess up so badly, revoke article 50 alienated many remainors. ifeel you have miss an open goal. first, can you still become prime minister?m is less likely i would say. was it a mistake to have been so bold in your ambitions? i'm not going to apologise for being ambitious and bold. the reason for it was this, so when we started the campaign, we had four political parties that were all similar in the polls. you were around 20% similar in the polls. you were around 2096 p. the brexit party and labour had been about the same and the polling showed if you have a first past the post system, it is very unpredictable to sa

together the neo liberal establishment is a colorful establishment you know not just finale you funny you should mention not just in the past few days the african-american executive editor of the new york times dean back at was asked whether he thought donald trump was a racist and he said quote i don't know i think donald trump says racially divisive things i think that's a little bit different what's your response to them say my dear brother you a brilliant my dear brother you got power but you need to get off the symbolic crack pipe let's speak directly say what you mean and mean what you say down the trouble is not a racist. then i don't know what a race is is we have lost it but it's so depressingly true i mean the southern poverty law center revealed that the white house senior policy adviser stephen miller champion of the wall champion of the muslim ban is a bona fide white nationalist a documented his obsession with white nationalist literature his promotion of racist immigration stories he emails to breitbart news that put his extremist ideology on clay display is it their fu

my eyes a liberal democrat problems or were the people difficulties for the liberals in the sky she was half the problem i said here in this very studio that she wasn't cutting it in the general election as she just didn't come across as credible and it seems that every time she appeared on television her support went down so that was half the problem and the other half and she's got to take responsibility for this too is a ridiculous narrative they were saying that they wouldn't have a 2nd referendum despite having called for one for 3 years they were simply going to scrap bricks if they became the government that would be like. going to my old seat of commerce in saying we don't need to have another byelection to give people a chance to reelect me just carry on being the m.p. anyway and so my democratic is that the new chief something fairly dramatic in the selection of me as the the rest of the country at least the rest of england was running towards borders johnson you were busy running to was generally carbon what happened. well i would do the same again i feel very proud of what i

liberal media in the liberal elites with everybody else because we kind of stretches out you know brags that 2016 that was a one off trump 20068 that was a one off and now it's go to this year the election that's a one off you know it's not this is a trend that's going on here and we're all told no no no no this is not a trend these are one offs i think that 2019 was the year hey don't you finally get it go ahead alex. yeah i agree with that assessment peter i think the main theme of 2019 was really the disconnect between what the media what the elites the globalists the permanent state the deep state whatever you want to call it what they try to tell us what they try to convince us of and what the people are interpreted as true in fact by doing their own research by going to their own alternative news media sources and trying to find the truth on their own time and no 3 stories represent that more i think that breaks it then you ukraine russia gate. and the story line i can get i think the biggest story is abstain the absolute is ation of the news here robert you know it's a lot happen

in american history and is why i think so many people are depressed especially on the left and in liberal circles because they they think that somehow. this is so new that it might be impossible to overcome and that's why we have to have real real examples of integrity honesty decency courage and hope because the only way we can get through this neo fascist moment is through tremendous struggle and solidarity based on a commitment to point working people you're right to talk about the distinctiveness of the moment in terms of as you put it near fascism but in terms of racism itself what do you say to those people especially some white liberals who say we've never seen anything like this before who act is of racism just began in january 2017 when donald trump into the white house. no i mean you're absolutely right i mean you know as a black man in america for 66 years you have to do it every day every month every year you kids your cousins you love ones do as well so in that sense you know white supremacy is always already operating the question of what form will it take to take the slave

does it tilt toward the liberal causes? yeah i'm sure it does. they tend to protest more if you will, but i guess if the kids have a chance to learn about civics or learn about issues, certainly going to be more involved than i was when i was growing up and it's probably a better use of time than we spent taking field trips to wherever which was just a chance to goof off for the day. i'm more concerned about the liberal cause of getting paid not to work.

this is the south yorkshire liberal democrat campaign headquarters.rviews. she arrived 15 minutes ago to rapturous applause. delighted to reinvigorate them for their hard work. her main message has been about a regional rebalancing fund of £15 billion which should be spent in the north, outside of london and the south—east. that message goes down well here in the north. this was in the manifesto and plans include things like more railway electrification and charging points for electric cars, and better broadband access. jo swinson had a busy day. i'm told after she finishes the interviews, she will go canvassing for votes on the streets in sheffield before whizzing up the m1 tonight for a live debate on channel 4. that is in leeds. olivia, thank you. the headlines on bbc news... as the final few days of campaigning get underway — the conservatives promise to introduce an australian—style points—based immigration system to control unskilled migration. meanwhile labour set out their plans for social care if they win the election — offering more funding

liberal democrats will continue to stand up for these values that are liberal movement openness fairness inclusive and see we will stand up for hope. around a scale large agenda hollies in london new center in general i mean a complete sort of routing of the opposition parties and it seems very much as though no matter what they try to do in terms of introducing other issues this is about bret's it and the british public bought in pretty much to the get down the simplicity of boris johnson's message. yes it is it is and they did and it says much about the sort of uncertainty the indecision the wrangling in parliament the difficulties of the last 3 years that so many people in this electorate seem to have been captivated by this one simple message get brakes it done even remain as to some extent those who voted to stay in the european union appear to have put their votes in with the conservatives simply to get things moving again in this country and hence the big majority it's not a final result yet but the exit poll is looking pretty accurate an $86.00 seat majority predicted for conserv

the liberal democrat party because the liberal democrat party when since the election not just not saying but they want a 2nd referendum but they were saying that in their manifesto they want to refer obstacles 59 a little more democratic exactly right i know i get all that i wanted to i want to change gears here want to change gears here we have of course the impeachment process is going forward in the united states against donald trump and guess who shows up in the in the oval office. for foreign ministers lopped off and a storm i can't preface that word storm but a storm in the media as a result here what's this all about well it's just incredible you know their american thinker an american publication and our friend paul robinson in his blog and russian added to it they were just you know surprised to say the least by the reaction from the so-called liberals let me just quote you know an apple ball our favorite apart from anything else presidents don't usually meet with 40 minutes that's why is this unusual or have been bestowed on this one well goal to the borg or russian and can see

progressive liberals didn't.formed an alliance with the greens, but progressive liberals in the labour party weren't on board. there were some huge increases in the lib dem vote — almost four million backed them this time — but in many places, it wasn't enough. wimbledon was a typical liberal democrat target seat, held by the conservatives, an area that voted heavily to remain in the eu. the party ran an energetic local campaign, but so did labour. the remain vote was split and the conservative re—elected, with a majority ofjust over 600. this election was a huge opportunity for the lib dems, but their dreams of stopping brexit have fallen by the wayside. vicki young, bbc news, wimbledon. now on bbc news, it's the last edition of election cast. hello, and welcome to what i think is going to be the last election cast over, a little tear there. but it is going to be a biggie because of the massive election result. i have some company in the studio. my name is ayesha hazarika, a former labour adviser. mathew elliot

i'm not done calling out that liberal law professor. also tonight, another story the liberal network probably won't touch. democrat candidates trying to get you to pay up at home. but president trump is trying to get liberal european leaders to pay up over there. president trump: they created different' hard for the united states to openly trade. this is why he's a good politician. that was one of the greatest non-answers i have ever heard. we'll put them on a payment plan. where are you at in terms of your number. a horrific assault against two brave agents trying to do their jobs and protect the border. this ways happens when american agents are demonized by democrats. >> we have heard about sexual assault allegations here in this facility. by staff. >> replacing i.c.e. with something that reflects our morality. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you

party middle class liberal people like the e.u. working class people in britain don't what happened in this election is that called good who's been trying to reach out again towards the working class labor base that was already eroding away found himself boxed in by a party whose leadership whose parliamentary representation and whose membership is overwhelmingly middle class and pro e.u. and crow remain so he was stuck with this impossible policy which glen deeds and has described very well which is of course in remain policy it was intended to keep britain in the e.u. and of course working class voters saw right through that that make them very skeptical not just about corbett himself you know has always been referred to as a weak leader and an indecisive and frankly no longer a straight on as leader which is how you mean proceed for but he also made them very skeptical about his entire left wing program you know him and when it during this whole 3 year process here. have done multiple programs on it and i've always pointed out t

that's that's true peter but i think fox has actually gotten a little more balanced with having liberal hosts and having a lot of liberals on the network with very strong different points of view but i think you'd agree about the word we're discrimination but let's not lose sight of the point how is it infringing on people's life i mean kevin if you've been watching people blocking traffic getting crazy spitting on veterans outside of the inauguration which i experience and trying can attest to this to so many young republicans in this country and he's done so much work mobilizing young republicans across the country on campuses in the college environment look at what's happening in our campuses how vile and how hateful people are and a friend of mine who was punched in the face at berkeley and was assaulted for being a republican so you know i mean i think things have gotten a little bit a little bit out of control and i do think that not being able to hear that other side and have that sort of conceptual discussion which has got out of control is a problem you know i'm ryan and you ha

they are not necessarily liberal so to say canada is liberal is erroneous.e talk about hallmark. where i think they are saying about it being political fascism, it's not because of family values but more about the fact that everyone somehow ends up marrying the prince. he was a janitor but secretly he's a prince. now we are espousing certain values. it's just fun, people. we don't need to make everything political. >> nicole: the writer called the heteronormative whiteness. what i find interesting is hillary clinton took out an hour-long ad on hallmark hallmark for her primary reason 2016. it was a convenient time or do you think it's evolving? a decade ago it was okay to be heteronormative whiteness by hillary clinton on this channel. >> michael: the liberals will never give up. they will never give up. they will say create your own thing. if you want to do it, create your own thing. i hallmark they have created a space where it's boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl. it's that simple. the movies have happy endings. there's fun, no big twist. the b

political liberation economic independence and cultural resistance not just an idea or a dream. it is informed by the continuous struggle of african nations throughout the decades and by the great experiences of great african leaders such as patrick lumumba. and then some and then very different to the ones but what i was told by the world well how our plan was real not just dreams because gaddafi. as laying down real plans and real project for the control of african natural resources through the african organization for natural resources unifying african armies into one army called the unit the unified african army and the central african bank for which gaddafi was raising funds discussing with other african leaders will turn tell me about the gold will libya libya itself is a small country 6000000 people but we had 100 than 80 tons of gold which is quite a great amount for a small country but to achieve african in the event the economic independence khadafi it was hoping for $4000.00 tons of gold to be accumulated for the gold reserves of africa and upon that he wanted to buil

it seems as if the liberal democrats have slipped.ite significant because we know boris johnson's strategy presupposes that you take a lot of seats from labour but the risk is do you allow available —— liberal democrat revival? in those remain constituencies, that is the danger. it looks like the lib dems may only gain three or four seats of the conservative party, which of course means he does not have to do as well in the labour but as he might have needed. their failure to break through, the fact that jo swinson has not, when people are seen more of her, they haven't been enthused by her. that squeeze on the liberal democrats has been the big important factor for them. for many people, this is a brexit election. for others it is about services and the nhs. as faras others it is about services and the nhs. as far as the brexit party is concerned, they went into this a p pa re ntly concerned, they went into this apparently fielding 0liver the country, that didn‘t happen, and the green party in this era of greater environmental consci

[applause] and liberal democrats, 34500. [cheers and applause] and the liberal democrats 34559. independence 247. john rusher independent 61. the total number of ballots accepted 173. the reasons for rejection were. >> there are some of the statistics. those are remarkable results and he was the mp in 2016 as minister to the environment while he is very heavily defeated those are the former mp. and look at the share of the vote to see how strongly they performed in southwest london compared to the 41 percent to the tories. in labor is down for a very interesting balance if you look at the swing. one of the wealthiest constituencies in this rematch. >> and 79 percent. and there were jokes of whole forest detailing green policies for being an environmentalist but they would be absolutely overjoyed with those results and that's a tricky night for them and then already in trouble herself with that declaration quite soon to say she was genuinely a candidate to be prime minister. >> this brings us to the overall picture based on the results coming in so just explain to us what the adj

the riots in quantum kong and how differently shamelessly differently in the liberal media reported on that i mean there the yellow vests the they were beaten by police really badly there were people killed and maimed and it was all fine you know it was not a breach of democracy in hong kong go to hong kong i don't remember a single protest had been killed you know i don't we didn't see them being named we saw them the protesters doing terrible things you know what would happen to you in france if you all killed by several buildings you know if you if you. said to people on fire you know who disagree with you while they're fighting for democracy that's that it's that was bad that the coverage was bad and what happened to you know all of us was bad but generally the movement is good we're going to stay with that point here and the ugly ugly media just will give you good outlooks here alex every one of the things that were huge story that it was the biggest story into it wasn't the biggest story venezuela and why go the random guy that the washington consensus danged to be the president

progressive liberals in the labour party weren't on board.ces it wasn't enough. wimbledon was a typical liberal democrat target seat, held by the conservatives and an area that voted heavily to remain in the eu. the party ran an energetic local campaign but so did labour. the remmain vote was split and a conservative re—elected with a majority ofjust over 600. this election was a huge opportunity for the lib dems but their dreams of stopping brexit have fallen by the wayside. vicki young, bbc news, wimbledon. the conservatives did lose votes in the south of england and scotland, but these were balanced by all the gains in the rest of england and wales. labour, meanwhile, lost ground in every nation and region across britain. reeta chakra barti has been looking at the some of the key results in detail. i'm going to show you the final scoreboard. the state of the uk parties. as you can see, the conservatives having a very good night, gaining 47 seats. labour losing 59 seats, a bad night for them. and the snp also putting in a strong performance

liberal democrats, how did it end? majority of 5000, look at this. the majority now for the conservatives of 1a,000, the sort of figures incidentally, not easily overturned or won election and look at the vote share change, labour collapsing down 2596, share change, labour collapsing down 25%, the swing enormous, quite extraordinary. similar picture in dudley north, ian austin vote conservative he told them, former mayor, now with the majority of 11 and a half thousand. a seat that will knock you back to labour any time soon. said field, the former seat of tony blair, 25,000 majority when he came from a... from when he came to power. now in the hands of the conservatives with a four and a half thousand majority. now the rising star in labour, even she has lost her seat to my fairly decent majority and now it's gone to the conservatives and again and take a colla pse conservatives and again and take a collapse in labour vote share and you see this swing, 10%. an extraordinary election and a lot of thinking to do for lab

kansas jayhawkers included liberation of slaves in their goals. as early as november 1861, charles jennison reportedly led an entire company of liberated western missouri bondmen under the command of a black officer on a raid. two months later, loosely recruiting instructions from the war department as well as congress's authorization that the president employ as many persons of african descent as they deem proper for the suppression of the rebellion, james henry lane formed the first kansas colored infantry, the first black regiment of the war. despite the secretary of war's admonitions that they should not be received, lane's black enlistees comprising slaves from missouri, arkansas and indian nations filled nearly two regents. boasting, if we're jayhawkers, we're jayhawking for the government. in october, 1862, detachments of lane's brigade saw action, repulsing repeated attacks by white missouri horsemen at island mound, the first engagement of armed black troops in the war. like montgomery, james montgomery and others, and lane, when grant an

most urban areas are liberal but. if i were to go in an obama shirt to you know rural texas or arizona or somewhere like that i'm sure i'd get persecution to who knows what could happen to me there are some places i still wouldn't want to be caught in america after dark or bob myself not knowing where i am so we have to put that in the context to it depends on where you are because you know we're seeing them merica has gotten to a point where the cities are mainly liberal and then in the suburbs as well but then rural areas are of course deep red areas that candid like donald trump has been able to dominate so yes i will agree that on twitter and in particular social media people that are democratic or liberal leaning do tend to talk down sometimes to conservatives are technically morally here i think you know good on certain issues we're going to have name tags if you think that's an understatement you know 10 to no i think it's an all out war chris let me go to you i mean this is a cultural war is well you know look

liberalizing model that. 30 years ago and there were expectations within populations across the globe and very different political systems that that would somehow deliver and things are much more complicated there's a sense of course those situations again externally different politically and also economy but there's a sense that. elites the elite is not really aware of the the solutions of the way forward to to get out of the. political and economy and pass of the past decade in particular since the global financial crisis and with the social media the type of for goodness sake of those protest movements it's very decentralized and there are no clear indications of a knack to nurse if much of that that's really. what's striking in all those protests across the globe and liberal democracy certainly is being is being challenged but what we've seen develop of the past 30 years is not surely a model of liberal democracy it's something something quite quite different i think a liberal democracy is certainly still the way forward for most countries but we have to redefine those those notio
