that isn't how you assess moral quality. me that in weighing one's tax behaviour and balancing it with whether to award an honour is basically that that you are looking for. looking to identify the moral quality of the behaviour at the time. behind your question, i suppose, is an assertion that if tax avoidance is lawful, it follows that it must be morally acceptable. i think that's a fundamental basic confusion. there are an awful lot of things that are lawful, and still immoral. adultery, to trigger an obvious example. white knuckle but you wouldn't necessarily deny someone an honour you wouldn't necessarily deny someone an honour because they were an adulterer. i'm not sure that's right, actually. these questions of morality, are finely tuned. they are finely balanced, there are easy cases and there are difficult cases. certainly, if we look around at old roads and colleagues. —— at our friends and colleagues we have new views about moral quality and behaviour. it is legitimate to wonder whether hmrc is an agency that doe

didn't believe there were objective morality. he went to jail for campaigning against nuclear disarmament and such. why against nuclear disarmment because he believed that human life had some kind of value or purpose, even though his fill as city dade it didn't. you can't like that way and i tried to show that. >> host: you talk about a professor eric pianca. >> guest: yes. >> host: who is that. >> guest: he is a professor of ecology at the university of texas, and a number of years ago he gave a talk at the texas academy of sciences where he was receiving an award, and at that event, he said it would be a good thing if 90% of the population, human population, would be obliterated preponderances through an ebola. and this would then obliterate 90% of the human population because he thinks we are overpopulate. a very graphic example, obviously extreme of the kind of way that this dehumanizing ideology has percolated. he backed if -- once this calm out in public he backed off of it, but i actually downloaded things from his web sit

it is a a moral psychology.where do our social norms come on and to that question smith gives the following answer they come from social interactions they are natural results of human beings interacting with each other. how can that happen? because when humans interact with each other the extreme end of the exchange in this case is an exchange from this regard. so that is the object of love by others and of course it is the process of wanting the esteem and knowing that they are aware that you want it and you are aware that they want or they are aware and so on that creates as it were conventions and social norms and that proved to be a powerful idea leveraged by another idea of an impartial spectator said the morality would be o if the conventional wisdom in any particular time but smith is not that, he's view is a more universal phenomena to correct the idiosyncrasies of so what is the moral thing to do for anybody those two ideas have proven to be an astonishing that is a great influence when it comes to writ

this is not aboutt morality. the book is not about morality. it's a country that believes in the constitution and the rule of law. the principle that no one is above the law. some of the names you mention, i'm not going to comment onen any specific situation but one of the checks and balances in our country is the press and i'm a fervent believer in the freedom of the press which is enshrined in the first amendment. the truth is gonna come out and then the american people can assess and evaluate. the truth came out and during the clintonay investigation to be somewhat harsh but is about what i'm gonna say is absolutely true and i demonstrated it inat the book president clinton did everything that he could from coming out with the truth. >> he says about a moral issue, no it wasn't. it's about whether he committed perjury and whether he embarked on a process. that's important. this is the president of the united states. people are called to account for their actions and i think that's healthy in this democracy. not long after, practicing law her

i would say for me it is a theological fact in a moral aspiration. it is a theological fact that the united states and saudi arabia and turkey in china our nation's under god's sovereignty. he is a cosmic king over everyone of those nations. but for me and i think for us as a moral aspiration that god would somehow have mercy on us and help us in our attempt to persuade other members of our society that the christian vision of the good life is actually what is best for the world not just what's best for christians but what is best for society as a whole. if we use that. we need to be very clear in what were saying and what were not sane. i don't think were uniquely chosen like that. i would not want to use that language. if god has chosen us for unique things. were not when i did sure what those things are. i think god has used our nation and some good ways in the past. i don't want some sort of pride to say that were better than all the rest. we will let god make that out. i just had a question about you've written a book letters to an american chri

the operations were designed to effect morale. were there any significant accounts, you know, after the some of know, showing the efficacy? you know, it was traceable to operations. anything, you know, showing its effects? come through the strategic bombing surveys -- i through the strategic bombing surveys for japan and i couldn't find anything concrete there. sort of hints that, you know, all of a sudden, morale of thedip and distrust government went up. what was interesting is after after the war, people got into japanese diaries, the ones that were from the people, and that got throught things and that it worked. island, down off the coast, the one example where a big launched psychological warfare operation 300 japanese surrendered en masse because they were okay tod that it was surrender. that was -- i mean, that was a coup. and it kind of validated the existence of morale operations. but that was very rare. >> last question in the front row. >> yes. first of all, i want to thank you for preserving this and very unique histo

so, you know, we have -- this is not just a moral issue. i think that oftentimes when we ask, demand, fight for, and make sacrifices in certain areas to make sure that workers earn a living wage, we talk about it on moral grounds and it is a moral issue, but in san francisco, giving a living wage to home care workers and to nonprofit workers is actually critically smart planning. we have an exploding senior population in san francisco. in fact, between 2010 and 2030, we're going to have 69% more seniors living in san francisco than we did 20 years ago. we only have 29 residential care beds, assisted living beds, for every 1,000 seniors that live in the city. and over 50% of our shelter residents today are over 50 years old. so this is only a crisis that's going to get worse. home care worker work force is aging itself. and in order to attract new, younger workers to do this incredibly difficult work, we cannot have them continue to be minimum wage jobs. we will not attract the work force we need to provide this critical work and allow senio

>> he did believe that there were objective morality. he went to jail for campaigning against nuclear disarmament. why was he against that? he believe that life had value. so what his philosophy said doesn't have meaning or purpose or significance and he couldn't live that way. i tried to show that in my book. >> you talk about eric paragraph, who is that? >> he is a professor of ecology at the university of texas and a number of years ago, he gave a talk where he was receiving an award and at that event, he said it would be a good thing if 90% of the population would be obliterated by ebola, he was hoping a bullet would go airborne. this would take out 90% of the population. he things we are way overpopulated. this is a graphic example. this is extreme. the kind of way to dehumanize, percolated into our society. he backed off once this came out in public, but i actually downloaded somethings from his website before he was able to do any damage control and he actually had evaluation on his website that said he said this in class. that he

>> yes, they have a moral priority.nd we all have a moral priority, but you take that to a point that it just -- it trumps -- no pun intended -- everything else behind it. and you're like, "that's not a healthy way to live life." >> you know, it reminds me, someone like you, who preaches for racial reconciliation, and you hear a president who's stereotyped, you know, mexicans migrants as murderers and rapists, who called neo-nazis -- has sort of morally equivocated about white supremacists and used pejorative words to describe people from, you know, countries that are non-white. it must be difficult for you, or it must pain you in some way, that the leader of the country espouses those views and that so many people that ascribe to your faith have decided to put that on a lower rung, in terms of moral priority. >> well, let's just say this. i am unhappy with the fact that that is how the world sees the evangelical church. is that -- is that accurate in how most of them feel? i don't believe so. i believe that those stere

i will continue to make sure we provide moral leadership. that said, people in america, they're innocent until proven guilty. i want to use facts and not allegations. francine: rick kline, abc. rick: thanks for doing that, mr. chairman. within the last 12 hours or so, stories came about about the breakdown talks between your side and dccc about not using hacked material. why did that go south on it? what is the policy now 60 days if hacked material comes out, will the nrcc use it or encourage candidates to use it? mr. stivers: i feel bad those negotiations broke down. in the end, negotiations are about trust. at the very beginning, we said we wouldn't play this out in the media. and for a long time both of us were pretty true about that. at some point during the negotiations the other side threatened to go to the media which started to break down the trust. when the chair of the dccc talked to the media earlier this week it was kind of the straw , that broke the camel's back on trust and we decided to pull out of negotiations. but when we pu

for many, the disappearance of strong communities, moral authorities and stable institutions has led not to a blissful freedombut a profound sense of alienation . such isolation as in turn you'll on an individual level a search to be part of a group and on societal level, and marked increase in populism and tribalism and various identity groups seek recognition, influence and power. in his provocative new book, our speaker tonight argues that tribalism and identity politics that has arisen in our quest for dignity and respect is undermining the stability of the liberal democratic order that makes human rights, religious freedom and freedom in general possible. increasing politicization of our identities and the inevitable resentment that follows is as we perceive our own identities to be best lends itself to an apocalyptic politics where compromise is seen as an attack on self-worth and accommodation a self negation. so is it possible to construct or to recover a sense of individual identity that recognizes and grounds are identity in something other than tribalism, shared interest o

morality, i am not talking about morality. i am talking about the rule of law. that is with the special counsel 's statute was talking about and what janet reno was talking about when she said to the three needs toudges, starr investigate whether crimes against the role of justice were committed. is that moral? of course, but we are not talking about the relationship. --y american people needed the american people need to be reminded that what the house of representatives was focusing on war crimes that were proven on bill clinton's part. that is when i felt the call to write the book. host: you described brett kavanaugh's accuser of having an interesting career. what did you mean by that? guest: she has gone into different fields and what to california. i find her careers an interesting journey. it is a different kind of career path that she has followed. host: diane in new jersey, republican. good morning. caller: good morning. i have to say that i just don't know anyone else that has been sexually harassed as many times been.ave ok, if youthat off, have ever

of moral the nation is against equipment if we go to don't feel that we have sent these places and. because he's very strong and interests so i guess going to be first of all will has introduced in order to be able to. move the poor men who sparking all into what we were before it president which is a. big one in you. dependent on huge battles but you know there is in the national truth you also will. comply with your mandate because we are very attorney general is not reacting and she should have already started an investigation against the president and the president should be in jail right now so. tense on the on what brings you to choose to release also demonstrate that very natural if you will not do anything in you in order to fight corruption if defeat is not in the plan. i think i'd just like to say that you know back in two thousand and fifteen jury the massive protests the street demonstrations that there were which eventually led to the downfall the street demonstrators were sort of working together with clinton. from the east as well you know i know that they were really

i think economically, politically, and morally. i agree.agree. i think there is 50 years of chaos. you are optimistic! you've converted her to optimism. i was going to say, we we re optimism. i was going to say, we were trying to find a bit of a ms around the table today. yes and no. a more passionate debate next week on dateline london. the mid—term elections are two months away, the eu summit is in october. plenty to discuss this autumn and plenty of passionate debate. join us next week on dateline london, if you can. thank you for watching. the buyer. —— goodbye. hello. eastern parts of the uk will see the lion's share of the sunshine in the day ahead, particularly east anglia and the south—east of england, but some sunny spells in north—east scotland, lifting the temperatures towards the low to mid—20s. elsewhere, a good deal of cloud around. some patchy rain and chisel out about cloud and some more substantial rain edging into northern ireland and western scotland, as we going into the later stages of the afternoon and evening. nowhere

to be exemplars of morality. back then artists were supposed to misbehave, you have a breakthrough as a painter or poet, you have to break something, you have to break tradition, the imagination can be violent. the changes have been for the good even though it's hard on certain individuals. here is the question with good handwriting, how can you keep from lumping people like harvey weinstein together without franklin? that's a very good question. crimes of various degrees of severities, we need to constantly remind ourselves that these are all individual cases and steer away from blanket rules. >> i'm not aware that there are blanket rules. we talk about the sort of align between harvey weinstein, let's say, you know on one extreme and someone whose misdeeds seem much milder but it's not a boundary. it's a spectrum, it has to do, again, with male entitlement and male power and the permission that men aren't given to behave in certain ways and how far individuals go on that. you have to understand what the accuser

are you personally persuaded by nietzsche's critique of christian ethics and his genealogy of morals? by the way, this was a picasso lithograph by your hi-fi and the swinging playboy bachelor says yes, can you take off your blouse now. nonetheless, what you have is a kind of vision of sexual fulfillment and material affluence that really came together i think as key components in what americans understood as the good life in the postwar world. the main point and i suspect the main point of contention between us is what to make of these crucial developments and hefner's historical role. you'll hear from mister ross douthat as he noted in his review, finds them mostly appalling. i do not. the sexual revolution in my opinion while disquieting in certain ways when it veers into access it has largely been a salutary thing. hefner is easy to forget first presented his message in an age when for many people what you had was a kind of stifling stifling of sexual mores. shame it, evaluation were common fair or anyone who dared to engage in premarital sex. the legal and political system censore

they are equal in this capacity for moral choice. so as the centuries go by, this idea, the seed of this idea that we have an equal dignity, in so far as we are equally free to choose takes a secular form in the writings of writers, other german idealists, i believe it is actually at the basis of modern human rights and our understanding of rights, you know, as defined in the american constitution. in what sense does thomas jefferson assert that all men are created equal? it really does have to do with the fact that we are equal agents and therefore equally entitled to participate in the process of self-government. now, in that sense -- i guess the final component of the modern sense of identity is that we deeply believe that we have a self that is inside us and that that doesn't necessarily correspond to the external social world. the external social world actually may despise us or not recognize us and the modern aspect of this is that we believe that authentic inner self is morally more valuable than the social rules that, you kno

which is moral servitude. to oppose them, right now anybody listening to you from the left is probably thinking about how much he despises you because you disagree therefore your disagreeable person. what is it about this moral certitude that so many cannot get off their high horse? >> it is the emotional appeal that i write about. if you believe your enemy is history greatest monster, nothing is valid. you have every right to hate and despise them and reject and refuse to listen. it's brilliant marketing. to paint conservatives as these monsters. it's dangerous as we saw. i hope we don't see that again but it is much easier. you don't have to make a case. if you believe you are nazi, no matter what you say i can dismiss it. i don't have to counter it or rebut it. the charge of racism again, going back to that there is racism in the country. there are victims but they are drown out. they are being hurt. we are not hearing it. it's all in this sea of if you disagree with barack obama, you're a racist. i opposed

and i would have to agree with steve is that the liberal media has been has abdicated any kind of moral responsibility because i see a train wreck right ahead of his go ahead andrew well there are two things that are going on and i want to generate off of the point that greg made which is about this sort of separation between world interests and urban interests and the founding fathers in the united states recognize this they recognize that the populous urban centers we're going to have very different priorities in rural america and so in our constitutional republican structure that we have in this country we created this balancing of interests for instance why we have an electoral college where no matter how small the state is they're guaranteed a certain number of votes and it's very interesting if you then push that into the modern parlance we've seen over the last seventy years or so and a rose and a real lack of interest in understanding why we have the separation of powers why we have this balancing of interest in some of the files up of this is going to some very obscure but in t

is that moral? >> and frankly the american people need to be reminded what the senate was focusing on were crimes on bill clinton's part. and that's how i felt compelled topl write the book. what do you mean he had an interesting career quick. >> it just has been a very interesting journey of not making any pejorative comment it is a different kind of career path. >> republican good morning. >> i have to say i don't know anyone else who has been sexually harassed or as many times as i have been. if you talk to someone who would plan to destroy them in and lie that he has sexually harassed you she did not even know about that at the time. or he just was not interested in her. all the times i was sexually harassed even to the point thank god i did manage to get out of it at gunpoint but it was just so wicked. >> bad is a very moving story and glad you had this experience including the relationship with your friend but sexual harassment in the workplace is a terrible thing and going back to the early p

morality. i'm not talking about morality at all. i'm talking about the rule of law, and i think that's what the special counsel statute was talking about. and what janet reno was talking about when she said to n the special division, three judges, three federal judges starr needs to investigate whether crimes against the rule of law, including perjury and obstruction of justice were committed. is that moral, of course. but we're not talking about the relationship. and i think that's something frankly the american people needed to be reminded that what the senate was focusing on, what the house of representatives was focusing on were crimed. crimes that were proven on bill clinton's part, and so that's why i felt the call to write the book. >> host: a minute ago you described brett kavanaugh accuser of having an interesting increase, what do you mean by that?? >> guest: i find her career as i've read about very interesting journey. yum not making any pejorative comment about her. it's a different kind of career path that she's follow

thinking -- they are moral thinking, ethical people with moral points of view. think using the criminal law criminalize, prosecute, and even jail women and doctors from for making this decision is exactly the wrong thing to do. i believe that women can make their own moral decisions about their health care, including their reproductive health care. mark: your opponent said earlier that you support abortion up until the moment of birth. sen. kaine: he dramatically misstated a vote i cast recently. there was a vote on something called the pain capable act that came up before the senate and it would have barred all abortions after the 20th week. he said i was allowing abortion into the night month. this would have barred all abortions after the 20th week. many courts have considered that exact law and found that law unconstitutional. many courts -- state courts, federal courts have said that violates roe vs. wade and the casey decision that came after it. i take an oath that we all take in public office. i swear to uphold the constitution of the united states. i do

they're good versus evil truth, or morality tales.gunfire) (elmore leonard) i thought westerns would be easier to write. you're writing about a time the reader hasn't experienced. places that the reader hasn't been. you make up a town, a one-street town, with the board-front buildings down both sides. perhaps a board sidewalk; and that was easy to describe. there's something about the attire. (elmore leonard) the six-guns worn outside, the hat, the leather. that's what westerns are, the look and the feel. take 'em to missouri, men. (whistling and yelling) (budd boetticher) you've got two stars in a western. you have your leading men and you have your location. it's so refreshing to get out and smell the fresh air, see the colors of the flowers and the trees and the mountains and the change when the sun sets. and a great deal had to do with the cinematography. you felt that you were there, you weren't cooped up. you weren't in apartments. you were outside. (budd boetticher) you see the west's vastness, that lonesomeness. they want the

the book is not about morality. my book is about america as a country that believes in the constitution and the rule of law, and the principle that no one is above the law. so some of the names that you mentioned, i'm not going to comment on any specific situation, but one of the checks and balances in our country is the press. and i'm a fervent believer in the freedom of the press, which is enshrined in the 1st amendment. the point is the truth is going to come out and then the american people can assess and evaluate. the truth came out during the clinton investigation. i'm going to be somewhat harsh, but what i'm about to say is absolutely true and i demonstrate it in the book. president clinton did everything he could to keep the truth from coming out. you say well it was about a moral issue and -- no, it wasn't. it was about whether he had committed perjury and encouraged others to lie, whether he was embarked on a process that we described in the referral as the abuse of power. so that's important. this is the
