Reclusive billionaire David Koch, a powerful donor in American conservative politics, says hes a social liberal.

Im basically a libertarian, and Im a conservative on economic matters, and Im a social liberal, Koch told ABC News Barbara Walters during an interview for her special The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2014 that airs at 9 p.m. ET Sunday on ABC.

Koch, who supports abortion rights and gay marriage, said he isnt concerned with candidates he supports who dont share some of his views. He said his primary concern when choosing a candidate to support is their fiscal policies.

What I want these candidates to do is to support a balanced budget, he said. Im very worried that if the budget is not balanced that inflation could occur and the economy of our country could suffer terribly.

Billionaire libertarian iconoclast Peter Thiel was reportedly chased off stage Wednesday evening at UC Berkeley. He was giving a presentation organized by The Berkeley Forum, a student-run organization that brings experts form a diversity of fields to speak at the college, when protesters began banging on the auditorium doors about 20 minutes into his Q&A.

At one moment when the auditorium was rather quiet, a man shouted "F--k you!" at Thiel, rose from his seat and left. Thiel was his usual cool self, saying, "This is really a classic Berkeley event today this is so cool!" Shortly thereafter, protesters overtook the stage, and Thiel was forced out. The protesters held signs from stage touting Ferguson-related slogans and "Black Lives Matter," even chanting "NSA's got to go!"

Thiel doesn't have anything to do with the racially tense killings of black people at the hands of police, but area protesters have been going strong in Oakland since Nov. 24, when Darren Wilson went unindicted for shooting Michael Brown to death. When the officer who killed Eric Garner similarly went unindicted a few days ago, it stoked protester ire again, and they likely saw Thiel's event as a high-profile happening where they could draw attention to the issue.
