from from friedman is what it is they're pretty sure ok ok to. i mean what's going on donald trump has told his new friend now the president of turkey that the u.s. will no longer be supporting the kurds in northern syria according to according to yes ok i think everything i said was true and now we gets a little blurry this is according to our. and his regime in turkey he says that. donald trump promised him in a phone call that he would stop supplying arms to the kurds which which the turks refer to in syria as kurdish terrorists quote unquote here's the problem here is the u.s. has made similar promises to turkey before and they lied and they continued supplying arms to trump couch this with twitter tweets once again reiterating that what he refers to as the bringing peace to the mess he inherited there and that what a mistake in lives and six trillion dollars worth and the last think it is most important however. mattis. and the pentagon which are really running military and foreign policy may not be on the same page and according to the wall

friedman. i just finished reading the book was the liberals and then to insist that with education and income inequality. to make mba software programmer. what recommendations do you have for government policy?. >> i did not hear the author. >> thomas franken. >> s.a. is a character of the coal miner turning into a software engineer. but the question is can you take a minor to give them a job as a smart technician working on the assembly line? can you help him to become a service worker? it is ridiculous to think to be software engineers so many jobs that combine science and technology. so one of the things that i rightabout the line to share with the caller it is a good question. we used to wear with their hands for many centuries. and then to connect to the people. and there is a huge number of jobs with people skills. >> the other colony recently row was from afghanistan in to be part of the national conversation. >> and to come now i happen to be traveling at the time i could not help to lo

i think this goes beyond bromance i think what we need to say about this is that i mean thomas friedman is the new york times favorite pro globalization pro empire columnist he is embarrassing the new york times at the very least the new york times could have gotten some advertising revenue and made saudi arrange president mocker on even the french press admits it was not a big gain for but growing actually they were both humiliated by mohamed bin someone you know the lebanese prime minister saad hariri and the french president and let me tell you that this is not the first time that the western press is enthusiastic about people through in people in jail and then getting money from them saakashvili did the same thing with shevardnadze family and they had nothing but praise for him now mohammed bin someone you know this and take corruption drive about which friedman writes that a lot of soldiers who had nothing but if if use of support was a section well if you don't have if you lose your support for it in saudi arabia you're in trouble here you're going to be just of all knowledge. and

great tom friedman. [applause] >> thank you. thank you very much. wow, it's great to do a neighborhood concept. this is fantastic marty, thank you. we are in a golden age of journalism, at least as regards to newspapers, the "new york times" and the "washington post." we're going at it every day.

so he was in favor of a progressive tax, rather high progressive tax and, of course, milton friedman and hayek were very skeptic of that. the idea of transferring wealth from the private sector to the public sector, and i can't see of that would be beneficial. i kind of question lanny, his prison of how he is seeing things these days. >> host: mark skousen, you mentioned the term sound money. what does that mean? >> guest: i think sound money is you need some kind of a monetary system that really imposes a discipline on the central planners. because how much does it cost? okay, we have paper money, $20 bill with andrew jackson on it but it costs three dollars. >> host: it cost three dollars to make a $20 bill? >> guest: right. that's the cost of production, and, or a $100 bill is the same thing, three dollars. >> host: a one dollar bill? >> guest: three dollars per unser, three cents. that was the liberty bell by the way. people are bringing it how often they have been to freedom fest. if you've been there ten years they will bring it ten times. anyway, so it's three since the matter

friedman has his latest book in paperback. you for being late, an optimist's guide to thriving in the age of accelerations. tom, i don't think that you set out to explain the rise of populism. but you did. you say the technology creates uncertainty. and donald trump clearly capitalized on that uncertainty in the election. here's my question, now we're ten months in. without him having much to show for it. so why is he still able to, to harness the angst that you wrote about? >> very good question, michael. so let's think about the accelerations we're in the middle of. there's an acceleration in the movement of people, more refugees, migrants around the world. so you go to the grocery store and the woman at the cash register may not be wearing a baseball cap that has some people unsettled. then you go, there's been a huge acceleration in the flow of ideas. ideas now flow and change, and social norms change faster than ever. you go into the rest room and there's someone of a different sex there the flow of technology changes as

. >> let's hear from laura friedman joining us on the line from sacramento. good morning. >> good morning. >> we're thankful you're with us. this was planned five months ago. tell me about all that you have learned since that makes today even more important. >> well, i've learned about the culture of silence in the capitol. i've heard from many staffers who have approached me to tell me that they have experienced harassment, sexual harassment or workplace bullying but were reluctant to come forward because the perpetrator was a member or senior staffer. and the word around the capitol is that those are the people that are going to be protected, not the employees. and they also were afraid of retaliation and of having their names brought out publicly which might make them when it comes to future hiring. >> first of all i want to be clear that we're talking about a small amount of people who have done have over the years.

let's just deal with thomas friedman. a nauseating piece, as a lot of people have pointed out.embarrassment of a piece. if the saudi arabia and government were set up a ministry of propaganda, they could hire tmas friean. offensive part on the piece and you have cover the conflict in yemen. it is the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe. the defense minister started that, continues to escalate it as crown prince and friedman gives it one passing reference in the piece, as if -- here's a moderate modernizer who is bombing the middle east's poorest country and trying and failing to starve them into submission. as for this nonsense about returning to moderate islam, saudi arabia has never been the home of moderate islam. moderate979 with some bastion of liberalism and pluralism, this idea is absurd. saud family have been in charge of that country and imposing their brand of very intolerant, very reactionary islam, it has not been moderate in any shape or form. the saudi arabians have been exporting their puritanical brand of islam to the rest of the world since 1950's. this nons

"new york times" foreign affairs columnist marcus friedman.est book is called "thank you for being late." it's out in paperback now. let's talk about what kayla was just kind of laying out for us we can bomb or negotiate because no one wants to bomb and no one wants to -- you have to feel we're going to end up negotiating at some point. north korea keeps us incredibly distracted in asia, and it provides a wonderful trade-off on the trade jaebd right when trump is clinching his fist and ready to deliver a knock-out blow to them on trade, the chinese said, but you need our help, remember, mr. trump? >> and they're right >> and they're right so they've been able to use that to blunt basically something i think trump is right about that's that we have a structural trade problem with china we thought chooirn was going to reform in the open, and china has reformed and closed. that is a problem. that tells me they are not suicidal they are not homicidal they are -- i do think there is potential. >> you're assuming the new guy is the same as the last

joining me is thomas friedman.k these mass shootings are uniquely american phenomenon? >> yeah, i think they are, anderson. it's not going on in japan or great britain. ed this is uniquely an american phenomenon. i lived in beirut and there was a lot of gang violence there, i wouldn't want to be compared to them. >> in a recent article you said if only he had shouted allahu akbar before he opened fire on the concert gories, if only it had been a member of isis or we had a picture of him posing with the koran, no one would be telling us not to dishonor the victims. you see a clear difference how the president, how our political leaders discuss the terror attack in new york versus what just happened in texas? >> we need more extreme vetting. which other country would we have to ban? when it comes to fighting isis, a defeat is not an option. when it comes to fighting gun violence, victory is not an option. mentally disturbed people have too easy access to guns. >> do you think change is actually possible? >> i'm quite

is it because they have failed to seize upon what thomas friedman is writing about? >> my view, michael, both our political parties are dead. just one of them thinks it's alive because it's in power, but they're actually blowing up, because they were actually designed to answer questions of the new deal, the industrial revolution. the early i.t. revolution and civil rights, both race and gender. what a party has to actually respond to today how do you enable people to get the most and cushion the worst of three giants in globalization and technology and the parties haven't made the shift. because they have money, they can thrive on the fumes. they're both blowing up. the next election will be unlike any we've seen. >> and i always take note of your dispatches from around the globe literally. what stop interests you the most on the president's asian trip? >> the china one really is so interesting to me and it's just the contrast. again, what my book argues, we are in the middle of a change in the climate of the climate. what is china doing? investing massively in clea

there's the book tom friedman number one this week, right? go back to saudi arabia usually we jump all over the globe with you, but there's so much happening right now you made an incredibly important point that the broader move afoot of trying to quash radical islam is what's happening in saudi arabia under nbs right now. mohammed bin solomon if you look at what's been happening on a very specific front with the sheikh shakedown, that is what has investors so incredibly concerned >> again, you know, how this ends i think is so important in going forward. if it does end with people feeling that there was some kind of legal process and there was some kind of transparency, so as a foreign investor or i as a foreign investor with a saudi partner know what the future looks like at a time when they need private capital the oil wealth is not going to be able to sustain it. i think it's so important how he ends it, and how he ends it is not -- >> the saudis get closer to even israel where does iran -- the weapons that they don't have, if they ever g

so i use the travel opportunity of the moment we live at, think tom friedman, world is flat on speed. middle class people across the world can now experience the whole world in ways that would have been inconceivable for all of human history until a couple decades ago. so i think that travel is a pretty special way to think about learning empathy and comparative x, y, and z discipline, and it's akin to learning a language. >> so we heard a little bit of that college president there in that. >> sorry, my bad. >> one of the issues -- >> that's all a college president really does. >> i'm ready. >> feels like there are too many iphones rolling. so later. >> the theme this year for the milken institute has been building meaningful lives. and the challenge when we see that 1 in 5, 1 in 6 men have actually dropped out of the workforce and are not trying to get jobs today, and one of the issues we're going to address tomorrow is opioids, and 50% of those are on some drugs. and two thirds of those are on opioids. when we go back to talking about school, our college text and think about maslow'
