that in a nutshell is pluralism. pluralism is the alchemy that makes out of many one possible. it is the means by which we have been able to weave together the disparate threads of a diverse society more successfully than any other nation on earth. at the heart of pluralism is the understanding that our country was built not on a collection of common characteristics but on a common purpose. when we approach political problems from a pliewrist -- pluralist perspective, we recognize that the majority of our disagreements are not matters of good versus evil but good versus good. pluralism acknowledges that there is more than one way to achieve the good. the good life, if you will. accordingly, it seeks to accommodate different concepti conceptions of the good rather than pit them against each other. the adversary of pluralism is zero sum politics which we embrace in our own peril. zero sum politics tempt us to view life through an absolutist prism, one that filters all nuance and recasts everything as an either/or fallacy. this distorted way of thinking renders every policy squabb

pluralism shows us a better way. that protecting religious liberty and preserving lgbtq individuals are not mutually exclusive. can find we substantial common ground on these issues that will enable us to both safeguard the ability of individuals to live lgbtqfaith and protect individuals from invidious discrimination. we must honor the rights both of believers and lgbtq individuals. to find a path forward that promotes fairness all. my personal religious belief that and i surely want to live up to those beliefs. we were ableate, to strike such a balance with utah compromise, a bipartisan anti-discrimination both strengthened religious freedom and offered lgbtql protections to the community. no doubt we can replicate that success on a federal level. oft's why it's one -- as one my final acts as a u.s. senator, i challenge my colleagues to of compromise way on this crucially important compromise that is true to our founding principles, that fair to all americans. better angels invite us to walk the path of civility an

and yet when we inspect those pluralism is an older plurality, we are driven back to realize that a pluralismis simply the composite of a countless individualism that make it out. we look at the individual and yet we can only see the plural. and yet when we explore pluralism in the fullest range of its pluralistic implications, we are driven back inexorably to the individual. i went on like that for 35 minutes. they applauded at the end. step back out and there is john. he said thank you. i was very healing. it is the single best thing in the organizer ever does get he slips the envelope in my pocket. never been paid for a lecture. i waited and without the street, opened up, $500 inside. all the money in the world. i come back home. martha still asleep. i take my clothes off, get back in bed about 9:30 by now. i go back to sleep at 11:30 martha finally wakes up and i say they become the you will not believe what happened while you were asleep. $500. i told you are or dream about coming to new york was that we would live in this flamboyant and extravagant needlessly frivolous way. netware $500

pluralism is the adhesive that holds together the great american mosaic. it is the idea that we can actually be united by our differences, not in spite of them. and in a pluralist society, we can be polar opposites in every respect but still associate with one another. i can be white, conservative and christian, my friend can be black, progressive and muslim. wewe can be different if united precisely because we are united by our right to be different. that'but in a nutshell is plura. it is the alchemy that makes out of many one possible. it's the means by which we have been able to weave together the disparate threads of a diverse society more t successfully than any other nation on earth. in pluralism that is the understanding that our country was both not under the collection of common characteristics that a common purpose. when we approach problems from a pluralist perspective, we recognize the majority of our disagreements are not matters of good versus evil that good versus good. pluralism acknowledges that there is more than one way to achieve the go

pluralism. pluralism is the adhesive that holds together the great american mosaic. it is the idea that we can actually be united by our differences, not in spite of them. in a pluralist society, we can be polar opposites in every respect, yet still associate freely with one another. i can be white, conservative, and christian. my friend can be black, progressive, and muslim. we can be different but united precisely because we are united by our right to be different. that in a nutshell is pluralism. pluralism is the alchemy that makes out of many one possible. it is the means by which we have been able to weave together the disparate threads of a diverse society more successfully than any other nation on earth. at the heart of pluralism is the understanding that our country was built not on a collection of common characteristics but on a common purpose. when we approach political problems from a pliewrist -- pluralist perspective, we recognize that the majority of our disagreements are not matters of good versus evil but good versus good. pluralism acknowledges that

i think it's investigations plural, right? >> it says the defendant has provided substantial assistance in a criminal investigation. >> well, doug mentions jared kushner. i don't know if that's what it's about. but i think it's important to bring that name up because there was an alliance there. it's also important to note that michael cohen and michael flynn, both very close to the president at different times and in different ways. so they have different tranches of information to offer mueller and his team. michael flynn is not just

if the house were merely to ratify an electoral college plurality, why have the house vote at all? an electoral college plurality would be sufficient to select a winner in that was the case, but that was explicitly not the case per the constitution. rather, the top three finishers in the electoral college came before the house equally entitled with none favored over the others by any previous election results. the constitution clearly meant for the mouse to start its considerations from scratch. and then the vote was held. john quincy adams won on the first ballot. now, they're enormously complicated reasons why this happened and we won't talk about them today, but we need only be aware that adams was elected on the first ballot to everyone's surprise. mostly to the jacksonites. jackson at first was magnanimous, which strikes us, perhaps, as an act. then the very night after the house vote, jackson and adams came face-to-face. again, from the book. the monroes held their weekly reception and while everyone seemed drained by the experience, they were also grateful that despite the a

plural. with the campaign and on the transition team. so the suggestion that the reason that the russia probe is not redacted is maybe there is nothing more to do with it. he said there were other people in those universes that are relevant. then he listed a couple of things that were relevant. maybe i was not following it closely enough. it absorbed my life for the last several years. israeli settlements, the sanctions we heard about and the idea of trying to get kislyak to slow down russian behavior on other issues. let's put those two together. we are sanctioning you for things you don't like. the israeli settlements. how does that settle in? >> that was the closest to being a potential logan act violation. the logan act bars private citizens from being involved in foreign policy. it never has been prosecuted, but the details from flynn's plea from last year were that he and others in the trump transition were calling the ambassadors to the security counsel to get them to overturn president obama's position which would allow this un s

a second really interesting conceptual point is that pluralism matters. what i propose in the book as an alternative to this economic piety based on the working hypothesis is what i call productive pluralism, part of which is the production piece, actually getting to be a productive contributor is important, but equally important i think is the idea of pluralism, that we need to preserve options in society, and to offset against a little bit of a straw man but not too much of a straw man, one response to all our troubles is say everyone should become a welder and move to houston. right? like the labor market would work fine if you just moved there and did that particular job. but that doesn't align especially well with what people want. and one of the changes that happens when you go from consumer to producer as a lens is you realize that what people want is actually very complicated. with a consumer lens, with the obsession with gdp, one of the really convenient things is it treats just everybody as a homogenous group moving in lockstep. money is fungibl

whose views i disagree with, that is the point of pluralism. what is getting lost in translation? >> you have to put it in context. she spoke at the family research council, i invited her to speak on the panel and she made comments reflecting the collision between religious freedom and sexual liberty and she then suggested she saw religious liberty would lose but she's also the architect of the employment nondiscrimination act which repeatedly refused to pass. this is literally sacrificing the first amendment on the altar of sexual liberty in his him and she was unable to get better congress so barack obama appointed her to the eeoc. couldn't get her through the senate when harry reid was majority leader so he did recess appointment, she was subsequently, after harry reid changed levels were only a majority were needed for presidential nominee, she has been controversial even to her own party. she has taken positions that are 180 ° from the trump administration when it comes to religious freedom. and so i applaud mike lee, i spoke with a number

the wto of delivers benefits for the multilateral trading system that can't be duplicated through plural lateral agreements. for example, as i say nondiscrimination on a global basis, , agricultural subsidies cannot be negotiated among a few countries. they have to be negotiated more broadly. industrial subsidies have to be negotiated more broadly. fishery subsidies which is the one thing that was pledged to, re-pledged every couple of years, that's been going on for about 20 years, fishery subsidies can't be negotiated by some plural lateral. has to all the major players in it. next, the wto the grievance keep the world from being we divided into trading blocs, and the rules of the multilateral trading system underpin the usmca, named nafta, the eurasian free-trade agreement, the new continental african free-trade agreement. they all are based upon the wto of rules. fifth, there's a common effort to improve the system, not scrap it. the sharpest critic of the wto whose name will be familiar to all of you said inmate at the oecd ministerial, if we didn't have a wto we would have to creat

>> a majority of the electorate or plurality? >> plurality. karl: we are in a strange. two of the five president selected recently won the majority vote. the republican party has to get itself right with the changing demography of america by the mistreating that it is open to that diversity. we need more alberto gonzaleses. more mia loves. recognize there is a center-right majority in this country for limited government and personal responsibility. the to be argued by candidates in a way that draws people into the party. uniter's win more often than dividers. we are at a point in our politics where both parties are putting a bigger emphasis on dividing been uniting. it was not just donald trump. "deplorables" is a mindset in which you believe that part of the electorate deserves to be washed out to sea. there's a great book, talks about of the critical elections of american history, it's brilliant, insightful, it has sex, everything. i think i did a hell of a job with it. election whichn a republican should not have one and did by being a uniter. the democrat was the di

, i meant ministers, are in co nte m pt of plural, i meant ministers, are in contempt of parliament for legal advice —— propping the government up. they should decide what the sanction will be. whether individual ministers should be reprimanded or suspended from the house of commons. if it is not passed, the government will get their say, their argument is that their say, their argument is that the precedent, what has happened in the precedent, what has happened in the past, is that legal advice is not published and that any parliamentary committee should take note of that when considering the issues. so basically be government can blunt the guns of the opposition if they get their motion through —— basically the government. kingsdene tonight, six opposition parties are backing this. there is a big degree of scepticism on theresa may's side of scepticism on theresa may's side of the commons —— as things stand tonight. some of the brexiteers, some of those are very worried that she has not been full and frank with them over the legal consequences are them over the legal consequences are

again, plural. he will cover up for the president no more. he is still cooperating with the special counsel, and he has teed up more to be revealed in the public in time. listen to this quote. >>> i'm committed to proving my integrity and ensuring that history will not remember me as the villain of this story. >>> there's lots of other news breaking in this drama with a.m.i.'s cooperation today. the feds say, listen to this language. as long as they continue to cooperate, a.m.i. won't be prosecuted. what does that mean? that suggests that it wasn't just about corroborating what cohen told them. what else could be there? what else do they know? and it says in the agreement they have to continue making the contributions and making the concessions that are asked for. so there's got to be more there. what? let's gavel cuomo's court into session. barrett burger and jim schultz. let's start with the assumption there's more. michael cohen knows more. we all know what rule 35 is under the federal court of civil procedure, that within a year, even mor

>> a majority of the electorate or plurality? >> plurality. just to get the most votes. we are in an unusual period. four presidential elections, five, two of the five won aeen elected have minority of the popular vote and a majority of electoral college. the last time that happened was the gilded age, when politics was even worse than it is today. the republican party has got to get itself right with the demography of america. we need more alberto gonzaleses. more mia loves. we need more people who recognize there is a center-right majority in this country for limited government and personal responsibility. it has got to be argued by candidates in a way that draws people into the party. uniters win more often than dividers. we are at a point in our politics where both parties are putting a bigger emphasis on dividing than they have on uniting. it was not just donald trump. "deplorables" is a mindset that demonstrates that you think that part of the electorate is worth being washed out to sea, and there is a great book. i strongly recommend it to you. it talks about one

flynn offered firsthand information about interactions between trump transition team members, plural, russia government officials. that flynn shows cooperation on three different investigations. and he has participated in 19 interviews. impressive or no? >> very impressive. and you missed one important note. that the contacts with russia were material to the investigation, which means that what he had to provide about the context of his own interactions with russia and others were relevant to the bigger investigation. >> all right. jim, i put out the suggestion there that maybe it was just about the fact they felt bad for going after him in the first place, a decorated veteran of 33 years of service. what's your take away? >> that's not how this works. i mean, he did meet with them 19 times. that's very serious. he obviously had a lot of information to give. he's been talking to them. they appreciated he's been cooperating. that's why he's getting a reduced sentence. no question about that. now, how does that relate to the president? well, there's no indication in the memo that it com

the wto delivers benefits through the multilateral trading system that cannot be duplicated through plural lateral agreements. example, nondiscrimination on a global basis, agricultural subsidies cannot be negotiated among a few countries. they have to be negotiated more broadly. subsidies have to be negotiated more broadly. subsidies, which is the one thing that was pledged to and replenished every couple of years, has been going on about 20 years, fishery subsidies have to have all the major players in it. next, the wto agreements keep the world from being re-divided into trading blocs, and the rules of the multilateral trading system underpin the eurasia free-trade agreement, the new continental african free-trade agreement, they all are based upon the wto rules. there is a common effort to improve the system, not scrapped it. the sharpest critic of the wto, whose name will be familiar to in may at theid ocd ministerial, if we did not have the wto we would have to create it. that is not anyone running for the door, and in fact, no members left, and 22 are seeking entry currently. six, t

that is the point of pluralism." what is getting lost in translation here?think we've devoted to put it in context. i now try to file boom, she actually spoke at the family research council. i invited her to speak on the panel and she made comments reflecting this coming collision between religious freedom and sexual liberty. and she then suggested that she saw that religious liberty would lose. but she is also the architect of the employment nondiscrimination act, which congress has repeatedly refused to pass. this is literally sacrificing our vibrant first amendment on the altar of sexual libertinism. she was unable to get that through congress. so barack obama appointed her to the eeoc. could not actually get her through the senate when harry reid was the majority leader so he did a recess appointment. she was subsequently, after harry reid change the rules, where only a majority were needed for presidential nominees, so she's been controversial even to her own party. she's taken positions that are 180 degrees from the trump administration when it comes t

you can't have a christmas tree, they call it a holiday tree. >> we are talking about religious pluralismthe school year kiss founded on the christian calendar. if i want to take a day off -- do you even know what the holiest day is on the jewish calendar? jesse: no, tell me. >> that's a form of christian privilege. you don't have to know other religions of when our holidays are. it's yom kippur which is the dave atonement. so -- it's the day of atonement. i have a privilege of not knowing your most of devout holiday? i feel bad i don't know. listen, there is not a lot of jewish americans in the country compared to christian americans. i don't know the most of devout muslim holiday either. >> again, we have to know the holidays of christians for our own survival because it's self-promoted. jesse: i don't want christian privilege. i want to be open and know everything about every other person. what can i do as a christian to make myself less privileged. >> i'm not asking you to make yourself less privilege. i'm asking you to share your privilege as a white man. i don't want into a store an

at least three separate matters and uses a lot of plural language. individuals connected to the campaign and the transition team. it wasn't just about what flynn said and flynn knew about himself. that's all relevant. also really redacted. it tells you two things. one, you are not going to get the whole answer tonight and two, there is more wood to chop. let's get chem mow's court in session. barrett and ken. how do you see this mattering going forward? >> i think this was incredibly significant for a few reasons. first just as you mentioned, the redactions. there is a presumption in federal criminal court for transparency. you can't redact things lightly. you have to justify them. the special counsel said there are ongoing investigations and depending on the judge they had, they may have to back that up. it means that there are significant ongoing investigations and that it was critical for them to redact those, otherwise i don't think they would have gone to that extent. >> fair point and, ken, they have emmet sullivan on the case. he is no prosecu

it is basically pluralism and the respect for having diverse city. -- diversity. every single one of us, whether kurdk, arab, occurred -- or muslim or christian or atheist or straight or gay, everything will begin gerety by the rule of law. that should be what establishes guarantees. not one individual. not one institution, but the law of the land. ask a question about the past and go to the future. it has been 17 years since the revolution happened. since your father passed away, you have become the head of the family. you have remained politically active while other members of the family were not active, especially the women in your family are not politically active. your daughters and even the active a not play as role in the last 40 years. why are women in your family not .olitically active a political party or opposition, ambition?me kind of >> i'm baidu are asking that question because people have yet to understand what is my role. a historicalind of meaning in terms of someone who need not take a political position or advocate a pull it that particular ideo

because it's so crowded, whoever wins the nomination doesn't need the majority, they only need a pluralityat gives voters more choice, absolutely. it means that we are not going to necessarily have a consensus candidate at the end of the day. and that clears the lane probably for some of these elder statesmen like biden or mike booker who have been making a name for themselves because they don't need a majority, they only need a plurality. >> it will certainly be interesting. and we don't even know because you think about donald trump at this stage in the game, he really wasn't out there in any kind of serious way. and now he is, the president of the united states today. so it's anyone's guess. that field could get even bigger. i'm coming up, we have some great news for the record number of travelers hitting the roads this holiday season. my experience with usaa has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an i

it is one of plurality. the english language is one of the great treasures of the world. time i was sitting in the house of lords. i was sitting in a chair, visitors weren't.

matters, plural, core to the investigation. also, the time frame, something very, very important here, could be changing tonight. mueller saying to hcohen's help including discussing contacts with people connected to the white house as recently as this year, that's 2018, so again, i go back here, to page six, and muell mueller's words. cohen provided relevant and useful information concerning his contacts with persons connected to the white house during the 2017-2018 time period. and also, in this filing, specific contacts with a russian, a russian, it appears that we did not know about. you're going to hear a whole lot more about that in just a moment. but it comes as the southern district of new york also filed a court today about michael cohen, recommending a substantial prison sentence for trump's former personal lawyer. even as prosecutors said that the president of the united states himself, basically, it could have -- we're going to talk about exactly what this means, committed a felony by violating campaign finance law

size of the people in this room if we were to graph the network we would find some elements of pluralization and self-segregation in the loosest sense. that is the way social networks operate. we've know not since research by so she always just on networks of friends in american high schools back in the 1970s. so what happens when you build giant online networks is you reveal in reality divided into clusters whether they be ideological or even racial. what the internet has done andth particularly with the network platforms do is they accentuated the reason we've been discussing and that happens in france, too. it happens in every european country. itt happened in brazil. one thing that most strikes me when i look around the world is a t phenomenon we experienced in the united states in 2016 and continued to experience are happening elsewhere. even places with quite cultural, quite distant cultural histories from mars, europe has its populism. europe has its abuse and use of facebook and twitter. asia is the place where warfare is being used in ways that are often extremely harmful. i don't t

point, it's important in these conversations i think to point out that the word media is the most plural word that we can use and it's a very big mistake to talk about the media because there is no the media. and to the point, marty, i think npr did an exceptional work during the campaign to get out into the country to hear and to see and to listen. in the world of talk radio and talk television, however, most of the couch was about horse race and people talking about people rather than speaking with people, rather than going up front and seen how does it appear to crisis translates your community? how does income inequality affect your life? how does the offshoring of jobs shape your employment environment? how does 2008 prevent you from selling your house and moving to all this opportunity allegedly exist? the preoccupation of talk radio and talk television with the horse race at the expense of policy and people has caused damage, i believe, to journalism and to the country and that is something that requires a great and close look. >> one of the great this number is a notion of me is

the only group that support it are self identified republicans and narrow plurality of white voters withouteducation who have been his core. he faces overwhelming opposition from all of the groups that powered the democratic gains in the midterms. young people, minorities, college educated white voters. given the sentiments, it is hard to see the incentives for democrats. a year ago, they were willing to make a deal for legal status for daca. >> after the numbers in the midterms, why give in to the president and anger the voters who clearly are not in line with the president? >> right. >> donald trump at one point said he would own this. he sat with chuck and nancy and said he would own it. now it is punting the blame to nancy pelosi. listen. >> we have a problem with the democrats because nancy pelosi is calling the shots. not chuck. chuck wants to have this done. i really believe that he wants to have this done. she's calling the shots and she's calling them because she wants the votes. probably if they do something, she will not get the votes and not be speaker of the house. that would b

. >> you mention tech companies plural it has been a very sort of stark contrast between the search forpus between amazon and apple. some called it a beauty contest with amazon. how would you compare talks with both companies >> listen, the talks and relationship with both amazon and apple have been very productive texas has been dealing with amazon a long time also as it expanded its footprint in texas. as you know, amazon acquired whole foods and their headquarters is in austin, texas. we have a great working relationship with both what we're seeing with the broader perspective, look what happened in addition to apple, oracle announced a massive 27 acre campus. after they did that, they announced they would double the size of it pimco opening a facility with artificial intelligence and other aspects like that, and those are just two of dozens of examples of what's happening in austin, texas just this year >> governor, we were in austin not too long ago and all my friends are seeing houses sell for above ask. we know what's happened to growth in the town how do you handle the demand fo

others who were attacked there of religious pluralism where there was a certain degree of acceptance of the minority communities, it's just been devastated. so, of course, we in the congress were able to get through the genocide revolution which, again, was very critical to elevating consciousness about this. but then comes the hard work of next steps. and many of you associated or directly from or have family, for instance, in lebanon who have absorbed a huge burden of refugees from syria primarily, but even iraq and other places, as well as the country of jordan, the united states, and mick mulvaney, i understand, spoke with you earlier. working with mick, we were able to change some funding streams and move money out of certain organizations to a more direct type of aid, but we were worried that there was some difficulties coming out of the gate, so again, at the behest of the vice president, i went to northern iraq. i can't get this image out of my head. i was in a tent in this refugee camp named dehook. a woman with her 14 children were there. it was 80 degrees outside. it was a

freaked out about have to do with the trade war, the trade war with china -- i should say trade wars plural since we have them on multiple front. if you look at what economists are worried about, it is also the trade war with china. about half of the economists surveyed said the single biggest threat to the u.s. next year is the u.s.-china trade war, especially in tariffs go up more. and also a majority were expecti expecting a concern by 2020. so there a number of risks there are out there in the economy that we should be certainly keeping an eye on. this expansion is now about to become the longest expanse ion record. so statistically speaking we are sort of overdue for a recession. >> jerome powell says political considerations have played no role in the fed's decisions, quote, nothing will deter us from doing what we think is the right thing to do. thank you. >> thank you. >> a short-termed spending to keep the government running could dash the president's hopes for funding of a border wall. >> i am proud to shut down the government for border security. i will take the mantel. i will be

that is what the plurality of women say. the majority of those in the upper income say that they would like part-time work. relatively small percentage that want full-time work when their children are young. this is something you don't see a lot because the assumption is when an all want to be working full time when they are mothers, and it is just not the case. a lot of women do want the kind of balance the caller mentioned. i think we should be doing more to make sure it is within reach for more people, but it absolutely really is impossible unless the marriage norm is reestablished. host: when you say the marriage about theyou talking mother at home and he has been working? -- and the husband working? guest: now. i mean -- no. i mean that you get married before you have children. and then people work it out. they have all kinds of system. sometimes the husband stays home and the wife works. it does happen more and more. very often they have split schedules or they work out arrangements. , to give an example of myself, i w

could have found him more dovish, in the statement continuing to commit to some increases in the plurale in the dot plot. if you wanted to try to preserve optionality, softening the language around that's a little for, people were looking maybe that's, but i don't think that explains the magnitude we have seen in equities. romaine: why is it so hard for the market to adjust to what powell is telling you. what he said today has not been much different from what he has been telling us all year. luke: i think the market feel sad it is not it knowledge. he didn't say specifically that i saw you fall and i hear you. is one market,t but if you look at the broader financial conditions, i'm not going to say you fall in and i hear you and i will change my course. he says i have not seen it affect the real economy, and because of that, i will not say what i have been changing all along. that was the great part of the statement. the entire first graph, absolutely nothing changed. all of the angst in lowering the forecast. caroline: one that we will mall on for the rest of the year. kawa and brian
