that is part of the rally of pluralism.this diversity of groups and ideas comes with a tremendous upside. it offers the possibility of better and more creative solutions are working across difference and of navigating the challenges of pluralism without succumbing to the spirit that leads to chaos or the fear that leads to control. this isn't the end of relatively modest vision but it is an important one. confident pluralism does not give us the american dream but it might help avoid the american nightmare. that is a possibility for which we cannot lose hope. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you so much, john. let me invite our panelists to come up to the stage. while they are doing so let me introduce our distinguished moderator. lauri goodstein is the much decorated national religion correspondent for the "new york times" where he has been for nine years. she previously was a reporter for the "washington post." much of the reporting focuses on how americans live out their faith in an era of increasing religious di

pluralism is difficult. it's especially difficult that you do take religion seriously, if it does matter to you if you believe it to be the truth and yet you are required to live together with people who believe the truth is something different. that's the challenge. that's the challenge we have to rise up to. pluralism is difficult. it is genuinely hard. but it's what makes it possible fortous have a free society that allows us to take religion seriously and yet not be at war with each other. it's an enormous challenge and i do think today the question of islam is right at the tip of that challenge for our society. >> i think one of the things that sort of comes up in the first few pages of john's book, to have confident pluralism, there has to be, as i understand it, sort of a general understanding across americans or across groups of people that we all have kind of a base common commonality, right, that we all aspire to democracy, that we all aspire to sort of living together. there's sort of a base under

i used the term charter pluralism. charter pluralism means that we have to establish what do we agree on that flows from our founding documents. flows from the constitution of the first amendment. once we establish agreement on those ground rules, fundamental rights for all, of responsibilities to guard the rights for others, including those you disagree with, on civil debate when we differ. when we get that in place and i'm usually going in the community when they are divided about the december dilemma or sexual orientation in schools or some other divisive issue. the first thing we do is work on those civic ground rules. that's the unity that protects the diversity. if everyone sees themselves benefiting from these ground rules and they are willing to apply them to others. then we usually get agreement. as i say, i don't have a bad story from modesto, california, to mustang, oklahoma, across country when they have had these terrible conflicts and it does take face to face, being there, working this through, different

votes. >> plurality means the person with the most votes wins. that. >> reporter: she says the method is simply too complicated and thus should not be decided through the initiative process. >> with a ballot initiative, the voters are being asked to vote on something that they don't have all the information for. they do not know that many people feel this is unconstitutional. >> reporter: cutler, on the other hand, is all for it, claiming ranked choice voting could easily have elected him governor. so exit polls showed a lot of people didn't vote for you because they didn't think you could win. >> right. even though i was their first choice. they would have voted for me as their first choice and someone else as their second choice if they could have. >> reporter: a choice they plight have after november. in portland, maine, douglas kennedy, fox news. >>> next up, just how likely is it that someone could hack the election? our series on voter fraud continues after the break. we are just a little more than two weeks away from election day. keep it

bush: i believe in pluralism. i do believe in separation of church and state. i don't consider abortion a religious issue. i consider it a moral issue. i believe the archbishop have every right to do everything he wants in that direction. just as i never fall to jesse jackson. from taking his message to the black pulpits all across this country. just as i never objected when the nuclear arms, the nuclear freeze or the anti-nuclear people many of those movements , were led by a priest suddenly -- led by a priest. suddenly because a catholic bishop feel strongly on an issue people are saying it's merging , of church and state. i speak for the president. we favor separation of church and state. we favor pluralism. now somebody says well if you want to restore prayer in schools. you don't think it's right to prohibit a kid from praying in schools. for years kids were allowed to pray in schools. we don't think that's a merger of church and state to have a nonmandatory, voluntary non-government ordered prayer. ,and yet some are accusing us of , injecting religion int

so much of what is discussed pluralism is about police. go beyond boundaries, pretty much jump the fence and start thinking of the goals. so it has to be about trying to encourage in a more better understand of the common good but to do so by advocating for human flourishing. one of the research ago forward, by leaving the borders and leaving the boundaries, just are asking for encouraging, fighting for ideas of pretty much flourishing, actually looking, taking almost -- [inaudible] rather than just leave us alone. one way that works i think is a new york take the train, imagine it going to like louis armstrong hall and you get off in any land in this phenomenally marvelous neighborhood, sometimes called other chinatown, flourishing, amazing culinary delight. let's walk away from the maddening street. you are seeing bangladeshis and indians and pakistanis and singaporeans, chinese and the jamaican, food exploration. there are people who are even better who sometimes are funded organizations back home are at each other's throats but some of

we favor pluralism. now somebody says you ought to restore prayer in schools. you don't think it's right to prohibit a kid from praying in schools. for years kids were allowed to pray in schools. we don't think that's a merger of church and stare to have nonmandatory voluntary, nongovernment-ordered prayer. and yet some are accusing us of injecting religion into politics. i have no problem with what the archbishop does, and i have no problem with what the evangelists on the right do and i have no problem what the priests on the left do. and it didn't bother me when during the vietnam war much of the opposition to the government democrat and republican governments was led by priests, , encouraging people to break the law and the adage of the you know the civil disobedience , thing. so our position, separation of church and stare, pluralism, so no little kid with a minority religion of some sort is going to feel offended or feel left out or feel uncomfortable. but, yes, prayer in school on a voluntary basis worked for many, many years until the supreme court rule

i think that is fundamentally about a positive view of inclusion and pluralism.can't stand to work with people at social capital who have views that have transcended politics and have now entered this quite gray area that is bordering on hate. i would have a really difficult issue with it. emily: you would kick him off? >> for social capital. i think so. example if it was mitt romney v. , obama. that is politics. i'm not sure this is politics anymore. i would have a real moral issue and ethical issue. >> you see the facebook executives -- do you think this is a divisive issue? >> i think it must be. i think they want to create some someone's of fairness. that's some semblance of fairness. at the end of the day, this is a person that has been legitimized by many tens of millions of people. we need to take a step back and unpack, where's the legitimacy in the movement? he represent that we can take away and say, these are things we need to fix for everybody. i think that it probably causes organizations like facebook to be in a quandary. emily: peter thiel represen

there is still the plurality party. the question in a given election is are they plus 1 or near even or are they plus 6, 7, or 8 points? that reflects politics. i think what people need to understand is that party identification is an attitude. and it is responsive to what's going on out there in the news. so, the movement that you see from poll-to-poll is usually very weakly attached partisans, brit, who respond to a bad week for trump or a bad week for clinton by saying well, i'm independent. all right. and so they move out of the partisan poll and independent poll, not a lot but just a couple points or so. that accounts for much of the fluctuation that you see, you know, in the fox poll, for instance, as well as any of the other major media polls. >> look at the independent number there. but we talked about that earlier. i was just going to note that my experience has been also that in polls when you find a candidate of a particular party doing well people who support that candidate tend to associate that candidate w

what's wrong with higher education, it's killing the souls of our children and they are getting this pluralism and multiculturalism, but what they are not is great ideas and they are not getting the challenges of those great ideas, so how higher education is impoverishing the souls of our children. nietzsche is right there all along. he even talks about the nietzsche and american intellectual life and according to bloom, he thinks that so much of what is wrong in late 20th century intellectual life is that intellectuals are reading their nietzsche and kind of like what george sontag on a said is that they are tired of universal truth, tired of someone else's power, they are tired of authority and so he says all of the counterculture of the 1960s is anti- authoritarianism and he said it's one thing to have these kind of protests in the street and another thing to bring them into the economy and make such a ruckus. so, he's very critical of the uses of nietzsche, so i hit the positive and if you read how everyone is talking about alan bloom's book and they were talking they were talking because

these pluralities are overwhelming. what disturbs republicans in the suburbs and the rural texas, big cities do have the oomph. the suburbs around the big cities, you have 36% advantage report differences with trump losing to hillary clinton. the democrats are winning the suburbs. so it's not just the inner city, the big cities. so what you're really talking about, i don't think anybody should get in the idea that all elections are perfectly clean. teddy white says there is some states right on the mark. what people intended. other things go on. but the idea they would affect the results in a presidential election or electoral college is really dishonest. trump can say i'm not going to honor any election where there is any irregularities. that's just dishonest because there is still a result. we shouldn't get involved and say all elections are totally clean therefore we should accept the results. we should say the results overwhelm the numbers there is no question about who wins pennsylvania this year. and i think the d

original e-mail to podesta, she says from time to time i get the questions in advance, time to time is pluralthen cnn puts out a statement today saying we're uncomfortable, no, no. we have to look into it, donna brazile is a conduit to the clinton campaign, someone was feeding her those questions. you have to figure out who did that, you do that with an internal investigation from an outside firm. charles: you know, not only a black eye for media, playing to donald trump's fear, and warnings about it being rigged. but also the democratic party. remember how brazile got the job. >> she got the job there was concern about the dnc playing politics. and we're seeing this yet again. if you want to go to media criticism. i think that cnn set itself up for this plaque black eye. it is not responsible to have people come meters as part of your staff that are actively involved in politics. like so many of october surprises this not telling us anything new but it is confirming what we know about the candidate's behavior. charles: this and i would love to say, shocking, but debbie wassermann schultz, a

he has himself a plurality of republicans.rity but he's got a sizable chunk larger than anybody else's. the question is what does he want to do with it, is he going to be george wauk and ride away into the sunset. if you lose a presidential election in the modern history, you're gone. there's no mon dale or dukakis. you had your chance, you don't show up again. that would be trump. they feel they have nowhere else to go. if he does not walk away, then he can do a lot with the constituency, particularly as we saw in the bloomberg article if he has the mechanics, the data, a way to e-mail and reach all of them and even if he doesn't he can use twitter or facebook. he can shape it into a movement either to run again for reelection to influence the midterm elections, to influence the current politics. if trump decides to stay in the game, the first test will be whether he can successfully bring down paul ryan who has become a nemesis of his and then we'll now how transitive is his influence. >> right. if you look at what happened

trump has taken this to say, oh, well clinton is being given debate questions, using the plural, using questions. he's taking a grain of truth and turning it into a lie. >> there's this massive transparency disparity because we have unprecedented transparity into one campaign, the clinton campaign. she's released her tax returns, financial disclosures for the clinton foundation. we read her e-mails for the state department. not all of them, but many of them. on the other side almost no transparency into donald trump and his business practices and his campaign because he won't even release his tax return. it's incredibly hypocritical to act as though there's these scandals being hidden when he's essentially hiding everything about himself. that said, there are extremely interesting aspects of these e-mails which maybe the political junkies or reporters seem like business as usual but to the ordinary person is sheds real light on the kind of games that get played, the manipulation of public opinion that even if it's common is still really disturbing and, therefore, deserves lots of atten

item think we were brought together to discuss the plurals but that is a separate category. >> on this case one of the things that you said is that you cannot discriminate. i am under the impression there is a difference and that uh corps has ruled the campbell leave anything you want it isn't detrimental but the first agent was that case when they sued and the court ruled yes you can believe what everyone with a country that you want to join. such talk about religiously motivated contact how does that apply? >> on the facts of this case with the religious nature but to its your question that free exercise rule to apply neutral rules of religiously motivated contact. but it is prohibited from discriminating against someone based on their religious motivation. that is the smith case. everybody remembers the part to give special treatment but the government cannot discriminate. that is a general rule and that is the exception to the rule. >> when you steady to meet the priest. >> in that context with the university is giving money to student groups but not religious student groups. there

, or plurality in most polls and he never gave that up during the entire ups and downs of the pre-primary and the primary process. and the last-ditch efforts mounted by people like mitt romney to try to stop the trump train after he emerged dominant in the primaries really went nowhere. in fact, i think it's an interesting thing that we might want to ponder, that it's mainly mormon politicians who have signed off. i think because they have a sense of public responsibility in the public sector. it's a conservativism that's quite different from the free market and even evangelical conservativism that are the other major strands. but, now, i think if we're going to look at approximate facilitating factor, the u.s. media, which i would characterize as fragmented and economically stressed, but also with a major sector that has been developed over the last decade and a half that can drive right-wing messages through fox news and through even more through a network of right-wing talk radio. it's not so much that that complex wanted donald trump. i think they were surprised along with everybody e

he only needed to win plurality.nell: sorry to interrupt, joe, maybe he is hoping to suppress turnout. he got the base. keep them enthusiastic. he talks about how enthusiastic his base versus hillary clinton. if he drives up negatives it suppresses turnout. does that make any sense to you? >> that is what he is left with. you're losing the battle so you drop napalm on entire village. the problem with that nobody survives. it is a strategy. might be only one left to him. it is not going to work. driving up her negatives is probably useful. the problem his negatives are still higher. and you know, i mean maybe there is more enthusiasm working on his side. i believe there is probably based on his crowds. we fall into crowd trap before with romney campaign. we had 30,000 people event after event. connell: we have to run from the break here. we dipped into the donald trump event. joe, david, thanks so much to both of you. we'll be right back. a week from today, by the way, give you wall-to-wall coverage of third and final

the more obnoxious positions of donald trump on trade and immigration are indeed supported by a plurality or majority of the republican electorate. the numbers on paul ryan i put in a different category. that's a reflection of people disgusted with congress and a reflection on paul personally. trump won the nomination and he rallied a large and growing faction within the republican party. there is no evidence he broadened out and is able to appeal what republicans need to appeal to if they are ever to take back the white house. >> let me run through the scenarios after the november election. if donald trump comes back and wins this election, he said whether it's paul ryan or john mccain or any of the republicans he is at odds with, they will all come around and be with him if he is president. do you think that's right? >> it's not entirely. it depends on what he wants to do. paul ryan and house republicans have a comprehensive legislative agenda on national security and poverty and economics. they will try to drive the agenda and expect trump to accept their agenda. there is a possibility
