i spoke to tom friedman earlier. friedman, we seem to be at a time not just in the united states but the rest of the world where politics is in turmoil. why? thomas: i would argue it is because the three largest forces on the planet, the market, mother nature, and moore's law, are in simultaneous acceleration. moore's law -- the power of chips will double every 24 months. the market is digital globalization. not your grandfather's globalization, containers on ships, but facebook, twitter, paypal. all these things are being digitized and globalized. including this show and our business. last thing is climate change, population., we are in the middle of three simultaneous accelerations at the same time and they are interacting. more technology means more globalization. more globalization leads to more climate change. and they aren't just changing things. i argue they are reshaping the workplace, reshaping geopolitics, politics, community, and ethics. katty: but couldn't that mean that people would opt for more stabilit

let's dig in with the pan kathleen parker and tom friedman. welcome to you all. robert, i want to start with you. romney, giuliani, how real is romney's secretary of state? you are quick with the trump scoops. what you got? >> my trump sources tell me romney is very much in the running for secretary of state. trump likes his look, he likes the republican establishment. for trump, he knows his reputation not only at home but around the world. he wants to maybe have a different kind of face. >> there's no question that romney brings a different face because he is the epitome of goodness and would be, i think, a very smart move for trump to put him up front as the face to the rest of the world. as somebody joked, if you took an american flag and turned it into a human being, it would look like mitt romney. >> you have to have a good national security advisor. i bring this up, thomas, as somebody who covered plenty of white house and international affairs. mike flynn has been described -- this is by former colleagues, people that worked with him, they did it anonymou

tom friedman: my dad always used to say, "money cannot buy poverty." i am a believer in that.id rich or poor, it is good to have money. it certainly helps but it is not a guarantee of anything. the happiest times of my life have always been when i the part of a group embedded in the community, doing something fun or large. that is what brings me happiness, the most satisfaction. when i am part of a team doing something big and great. it has nothing to do with money. prof. appiah: money is not the way to measure your life. as i said, mostly people do. many people get the balance wrong, they think money matters more than it does. i think many people who have gotten lots of money figure that out, there are all these people who make a certain amount of money and they retire and sail around the world, and they say, that shows that if they thought making more money was the point, they would have gone on making more money and they realize that that is not so. terre: when is enough enough? warren buffett: when you have everything your family could reasonably need in the way of the ple

he wants tom friedman to like him. he wraps it -- rap so he diezed about clean air and clean water.reminded tom, which he needn't have, that many of his golf courses have been praised for the way they've been put together in terms of environmental concerns. donald trump is no one thing. he's a lot of different things and he is different things at different moments. and that's why this presidency is so incredibly hard to predict. >> many of those who are looking for a more moderate donald, gop members who didn't support him during the campaign, does it leave people scratching their heads now? hard core donald trump supporters, they like talking about water boarding, they liked talking about the wall and donald trump is backing off of those. does it matter that the stock market is at an all-time high. if he creates jobs, does backing off on things that he said on the trail even matter? >> this is the big question we don't know yet. we know there was a lot of outcry from the right when he said he didn't want to go after hillary clinton. he didn't want to do a special prosecution, conti

a number of interesting editorials, including from tom friedman.is what donald trump said -- martha in irvington, new jersey. caller: good morning. have a blessed holiday to you and yours. appreciate president obama, president clinton. i appreciate what they have done and i would like them to work together. peaceful transfer of power is the hallmark of democracy. see really interesting to whether donald trump will actually continue this relationship with president obama once he is out of office, will he truly seek his counsel and advice? he said he was very impressed with obama. they had never met before they had met in the white house. even though we may all recall the sort of tense moment at the white house correspondents dinner a few years back, trump was in the audience, the president was mocking him during the humorous remarks. the: did you happen to see donald trump in the oval office video that came out? your thoughts about what was going through his mind? guest: i thought it was an amazing moment in history, the way -- the donald trump that

all a lot of what is coming in the world, which is tom friedman's world is flat, is accelerating every year with miniaturized nuclear technology, and the kind of global and i.t. technologies we have, and how rapid and easy transport systems are, and how easy it is to have forged documents. we are headed toward a world -- where the distinction between al qaeda and the taliban is a distinction all americans understand. a lot of people will self radicalized in place and create terror networks instead of having to go somewhere and -- be trained. we do not have a national security strategy for the age of cybersecurity jihad. i am not his to talk about the presidential campaign, but it is ironic the republican party a year and a half ago -- you would have that the party i am part of wanted to take entitlement reform seriously. 17 candidates -- 15 of them would have given credible, honest, verifiable answers about the entitlement crisis we are facing, and we ended up in a place where the republican party is appearing almost as indifferent as telling the truth about entitlement as the democrat

i was reminded by my friend, tom friedman, who said that you can actually dance in a hurricane if youe. you have to stand in your truth. even with a hurricane around you, if you stand in your truth you can make progress. you said you were glad to see the protests, would you like to see those continue throughout the administration? >> i think he's got to be held accountable. it is fascinating how so many of my friends who didn't want me to hold obama accountable are now bum rushing for me and others to hold donald trump accountable. i will do that like i did with obama respectively. but he has got to be held accountable. you can't run a campaign with the count of racist, sexist, classist language that donald trump used and overnight magically say that we must unite. there is noapology, atonement, but now we are supposed to magically sing and hold hands and all is well. i don't believe that. i accept his presidency and i look forward to him, i hope being a better president that he can be, but he must be held accountable by democrats and the rest of our fellow citizens. you joining us. t

tom friedman and others are pushing on the paris accords. he kept using this phrase i have an open mind and i'm going to listen. that was quite different than the rhetoric that we heard in the campaign. >> let me ask you about the white nationalists, the speakers and richard spencer and the people in the audience who responded in, disturbing to say the least, some were described by the atlantic and they said heil, not hail. that's the german for hail and they are using that stiff armed salute. he seemed to be indicating he wanted to separate himself from the groups. >> he wanted to separate himself, but this was one of the first topics they brought up. really pressed him and he said you energized a lot of people, but you energized this element in our society. trump seemed to really take pains to kind of distance himself from those groups. at the same time he professed ignorance of things that seemed curious like the content of breitbart and the reasons and the appointment of people like bannon might be offensive to certain groups. as you kno

tom friedman doesn't know a single -- probably a single trump voter, or if he does, he probably doesn'triously. what they do is make these incredible mistakes. on the assumption that trump would lose, they assumed that trump voters would riot, right? they thought about, oh, my god, there's going to be all this violence. they never thought that the violence, for the last four decades, comes from the left. they're the ones that throw violent tantrums and break windows in cities where they voted democrat. brian stelter said the mainstream media is going to do soul searching. a zombie uprising before the media ever does any soul searching because it has no soul. >> all right. well, on that note, don't go away because we are answering your questions following the election on this social media sunday. coming up next. ♪ "whatcha doin?" "just checking my free credit score at credit karma. "what the?" "don't you know that checking your credit score lowers it." "actually, checking your own credit score with credit karma doesn't affect it at all." "i guess i could just check my credit score then."

when you have people like tom friedman from "the new york times" saying she was unbelievably stupid todoing this, i mean, that message gets out there. and it is resonating with people. >> bakari? >> one of the things i think we can see in utah, and i'll leave this up to john and deploskand have to look at the mormon republican vote in utah, because that doesn't just affect utah, but that also translates into nevada. so when we're starting to look at maybe not a close race where he wins in utah, it may be a close race in nevada, where if he doesn't get and consolidate all of those gop base, which include mormon republicans, he could be in trouble. >> if we see this happen, that's a big thing to watch. there's been a mormon and a conservative revolt against trump out there. governor romney spends a lot of time in utah now, and he was telling friends just a few weeks ago, a few days ago, actually, he thought evan mcmullin had a chance to win. that poll would suggest otherwise. i would guess based on what we've seen in our other polling out west, there seems to be this consolidation that d
