george orwell famously wrote an essay comparing nationalism to patriotism and saying that nationalcismut putting interests first, about being aggressive and the he will with everybody else and it led directly to the first and second world wars and nationalism in trump's mind is -- orwell concluded and what macron was talking to fareed zakaria about earlier today was the importance of patriotism. that was love of country and seeing it within a collaborative international framework. the president has called himself a nationalist and he heard macron taking swipes at him and his rhetoric. are you surprise that had he hasn't even tweeted about that? i think he's saving it for when it gets home. the president was on this trip over the weekend but he was caught up in scandal and problems on the home front the scandal involving his newly appointed attorney general and all the actions concerning whitaker and for the president the reality of the house taking -- being taken by the democrats, the reality of the democrats taking control of the house that's starting to sink in. you can see he's in a

range and regularity of the untruths we now see that should be cause for profound alarm, as george orwell warned, the further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it. in america, we do not pay respect to the powerful. in fact, we question the powerful most ardently. to do so is our birthright and requirement of our citizenship. and so, we know well that no matter how powerful, no person, not even the president, will ver have dominion over objective reality.

truly dangerous it is the range and regularity of the untruth we now see the profound alarm as george orwelled to further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it. in america we do not pay to the powerful impact we question the powerful most ardently to do so is our birthright and requirement of our citizenship. so we know no matter how powerful, no person, not even the president will ever have dominion over objective reality. [applause] of course the major difference between politicians and the free press is that the press when it makes a mistake. we politicians usually don't. any of us that have spent time in public life have endured news coverage that we felt was jaded or unfair. in our possession to have even idle threats for the laws and regulations to stifle the criticism or to take away credentials as corrosive to our democratic institutions. simply put, it is the press obligation to uncover the truth about the power. it's the people's right to criticize their government and it's our job as politicians to take it.

we had finally slain the ghost theeorge orwell and internet was going to make people free. saiddent clinton famously that trying to control the internet was like trying to nail jell-o to the wall. the chinese have done pretty good mailing jell-o to the wall. the author terry and democracies were an advantage. this symmetry has more or less been reversed. the authoritarians have been able to close themselves off relatively successfully and the sufferings have been from penetration of our system -- a lot of it -- through the weaponization of social media. it's the big american companies, facebook, google, and so forth, turnedhe russians have into weapons to penetrate our system and had such an effect on the 2016 events in the election. so, there is a big change. and that has been to our disadvantage. but i think the interesting thing, to put it in the context informationtion, warfare is not new. we have done it, the russians of done it, everyone has done it. i mentioned in my earlier agoussion, it was 100 years that we were celebrating the end and noticed the british cut the

as george orwell warned, the further a society drifts from the truth, the more those -- the more it willate those who speak it. -- toerica, we do not pay the powerful. we question the powerful most ardently. to do so is our birthright and a requirement of our citizenship. and so, we know well that no matter how powerful, no person, not even the president will ever have dominion over objective reality. [applause] of course, the major difference between politicians and the free press is the press usually corrects itself when it makes a mistake. we politicians usually don't. any of us who have spent time in public life have endured news coverage that we felt was jaded or unfair. in our positions, to employ eitheven idle threat, to use las or regulations despite the criticism, or to take away credentials is corrosive to our democratic institution. simply put, it is the press' obligations to uncover the truth about power. it is the people's right to criticize their government. it is our job as politicians to take it.

that is george orwell. it is a good quote.e are put off going to ikea because they are miles away. and they don't have a car. if you pull apart the ikea results. they have been successful online. they say this is not about responding to amazon. this is about responding to the way that customers want to do business. the second part is a recognition that more people live in cities. people want to go to a small store format. they don't have a motor car. this is how it is quite work. lovely to have you on. see you in ikea later on. other furniture stores are also available. that's it from business live today. there will be more business news throughout the day on the bbc live web page and on world business report. we'll see you again tomorrow. —— next week. happy friday. bye—bye. good morning. it has been another cold and frosty start to the day. temperatures from any below freezing. it has been a clear and a sunny start. and that is really because we have got a ridge of high pressure for most of us. towards the west this area of

in fact, in her remarks, which are are so orwell-like, she claims democracy failed in georgia. senate race in florida is still dragging on. hand recounts of some ballots are continuing across the state but the democrat in the senate race, bill nelson, doesn't look like he'll win. his path to victory is getting very narrow. we're going to miss the recount because we're going to miss having him on. what's going on? >> well, hand recount will continue until sunday, but we can tell you that bill nelson is surely doomed and he's doomed in large part because he had placed his hopes and his trust in broward county, which, as we've seen a time or two, that's like placing your trust and hope from harry lord and dumb and dumber. the irony is, bill nelson thought broward county would be dumber and less effective than it actually was, because there were some 30,000 votes that were put through machines, not once but twice, mostly democrats in broward county. they were saying these maps, broward county, here you go again but what we found out today is what election workers, when they looked

this thing, whatever it is, it'll do just fine as long as you're reading orwell's essays while you'reh a simple thing, but it tastes so different than, like a cheeseburger, which is what it kind of is actually. >> female student: but it's really people from way, the way uptown, or like, downtown, if you say, can i get a chopped cheese? and they're like, "what?" >> second female student: right. >> female student: like, but if you get it here, like, "all right! coming right up." >> anthony: so this a regional, indigenous, uh, specialty. >> teacher: and it's newer too. >> anthony: right. >> teacher: right? it hasn't been around that long. >> anthony: i've been everywhere in the world, and i mean, just about everywhere in the world that you can think of. as beautiful as many cities around the world are, it's really in your blood, up to you if you grew up here, you're living in paris, you're gonna want a -- you're gonna want a chopped cheese sandwich. and you'll be angry that you can't get one. so there it is, a peek, a narrow slice of an old deep and noble subject. >> armageddon: causing

and to understand what human flourishing is identity politics is rooted in interest remember what orwell said in with a specific group. so what is real and discoverable is an important thing and has very real benefits with some evidence when you are motivated by truth claims, you have a tolerance and just this week the cato institute released a survey religious conservative voters and found that religious conservative voters are much more tolerant of racial minorities and what we see is a phenomenon of secular conservatives to form a very strong basis of the president support also to transcendent of role of society is the openness of ideas social science works on scientific curiosity legitimately interested to explore what is true about the nature of things to be much more open to debate disagreement talking with those who disagree with them. we know religious people give more and get more frequently but having that experience to witness noble actions i don't know how you recover embracing the pursuit of truth with a modernized swarm of that approach to education and the doctor talked ab

and that's, in fact, precisely the method being described if you read george orwell's "1984."here is this eerie parallel in which trump basically, i think the strategy of trump's lies or untruths or misleading statements is just to create a kind of blizzard effect so that at some point people sort of feel defenseless in the face of it because there's just too much to unpack at any given day. now there are however many per day, seven, it would be better -- >> 30. >> 30 per day. >> if there were 60 per day because those of us in the media couldn't keep up and people in the public stop to care. and that's the key point. people become apthetsic to the questions of truth and falsehood emanating from the people with power in washington. >> let me push back a little on something you said at the beginning. you're right. there is, in addition to the lies, there are also things he gets wrong out of idiocy, lack of preparation, ambivalence. but it is not on us. this is part of the lowering of the bar for him to say, well, we're just going to call the lies lies and everything else -- it's

george orwell who wrote not very far from where i'm sitting right now.about political language and he said it was designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable. >> yeah. >> that's actually what president trump has done in the last 24 hours. on that statement, which carries huge weight, it is an official white house document. not a series of early morning tweets ian that statement and his comment on oil prices has gone down very, very badly in europe, across the western alliance and especially in tur which wanted saudi arabia punished not defended by the u.s. the gulf arabs, they love it because it defends the saudi so thoroughly and in saudi arabia, well, they couldn't have written it better themselves. a u.s. president ab solving saudi rulers, not just for the killing of jamal khashoggi, but the slaughter in yemen, as well. here's what the saudi foreign minister had to say to cnbc's hadley gamble. take a listen. >> saudi arabia was declared guilty without people seeing evidence. without people knowing the facts. and this is continued since

orwell decision thanks to chief justice john roberts. >> in so many areas the court can almost, in passing, offer an ill-considered ruling on something if something is precedent and it's treated as though it's some sort of huge burden to overcome, i'm guessing roger and i are in agreement that precedent ought to yield pretty quickly when it's demonstrated a decision is wrong. the rhetorical bar is often set way too high on that. >> thank you. preston nowell. was margaret versus madison rightly decided? >> how much time do we have? is there properly a power or some would say a duty of judicial review, i would say marbury was correct on that. >> i think marbury is correct, too. i read it as saying we don't have the authority to decide this case, but we do have the authority to say that we don't have the authority to decide this case. >> that said, i'm sorry, there are disputes over whether marshall actually gave a plausible reading to the particular statute that he determined to be in conflict with the constitution, a whole host of other issues one could write. power of judicial review. >> i

george orwell made this point. patriotism is a good thing. means you love your country.ctly what macron was talking about. >> discussing how the countries need to come together and work together in this pledge of harmony. how are they going to overcome this hurdle because this has been going on for a while now as president trump has been taking the u.s. sort of on a different venue by pulling out of treaties and now also not staying for the peace forum that macron is hosting. somehow that going to play out? >> you know, i think macron's big worry is that trump has encouraged the nationalist trend in europe. we see them as first manifesting themselves as anti-immigrant issues, but eventually coming to these political movements in italy and hungary and some extent in brexit. all of that is a rise in nationalism tearing apart europe. as a result, macron is desperately trying to pull it back together again and be the leader of the united europe. that's what he was talking about. saying that's where people's hopes and aspirations should lie. if we go down the route towards na
