and that's a lie. and you know, didn't happen and you're a liar. and i was like, i did not write that. it was a really strange i actually had to back to my old book to get it right that i didn't know she had actually misread it. it my dad, who had tried to hit her dad. we were neighbors, you know frenemies. clearly. and but she had misread the whole thing and it was fascinating to me. and so i wrote her back. i never heard from her again, but that was basically this is a question that people get when you know about memoir. the that you people worry about the most. how are people going to react? and the thing i'll say about this is, one, don't not write something you're imagining the worst possible outcome. you know, don't stop because of a hypothetical that may or may not ever be. and usually it and to think about the other outcome, which is conversation after i wrote something but it didn't and some people in my family it we started talking about the past we started talking about how we all grew up our weird family and how dysfunctional. we were d

reisz and ira magaziner with, you know, bill and and bill clinton and and al gore's name is on the cover. here's a at the at that economic i i here is you know just one index of the problem. you can see real wages are in decline after really 15 years and clinton arrives the scene in the early nineties and know they got a problem in that that that was one manifestation of it they all very well aware of that i mean here's though here's what i want to show you the this this they agree this is this is this is not not triumphalism all that there were other variety is of capitalism. now that's an academic which is but but i think that the clintonites were were thinking about in the world more competitive dynamic and socially cohesive than the version championed by ronald reagan and margaret thatcher would prove a powerful motivating impulse for an effort to manage american. during the first years of the clinton presidency, clinton had been governor of a poor southern rural spending. the bulk of time. and by the way, he spent 12 years in the in governor's mansion in arkansas, eight in the white

and judge and appellate board.nced me to look at civil service s.i applied to police, and sheriff's department at the same time. the sheriff's department grabbed me first. it was unique. it was not just me in that moment it was everyone. it wasn't me looking at the crowd. it was all of us being together. i was standing there alone. i felt everyone standing next to me. the only way to describe it. it is not about me. it is from my father. my father couldn't be there. he was sick. the first person i saw was him. i still sometimes am surprised by the fact i see my name as the sheriff. i am happy to be in the position i am in to honor their memory doing what i am doing now to help the larger comment. when i say that we want to be especially focused on marginalized communities that have been wronged. coming from my background and my family experienced what they did. that didn't happen in a vacuum. it was a decision made by the government. nobody raised their voice. now, i think we are in a better place as country and co

and then they had to get screened by intelligence and checked out by medical and fed and clothed and all that. but now they're resting on the hangar deck and the kids, most of them seem to be kids, are sitting in front of probably the first television set they've ever seen watching star wars. their boat was sinking as we came alongside. they'd been at sea five days and had run out of water. all in all, a couple of more days. and the kids would have been in pretty bad shape, i guess once in a while. he writes, we need a jolt that for us to realize why we do what we do and how important really it can be. i mean, it took a lot of guts for those parents to make a choice like that, to go to sea in a leaky boat, in hope of finding someone to take them from the sea. so much risk, but apparently they felt it was worth it rather than live in a communist country for all of our problems with the price of gas and not being able to afford a new car or other creature comforts. this year i really don't see a lot of leaky boats heading out of san diego looking for the russians ships out there after

and they have a couple of letters back and forth. then friedman kind of realizes, wait, i'm i'm a of the federal reserve my entire public identity is built a scholar of and a critic of the federal reserve and if i disagree with what arthur burns is doing, i have to speak up like it's i can't just say he's my and therefore it's fine. right. so it becomes a question of sort of friedman's own intellectual integrity. and as it turns out before long, burns is advocating wage and price controls just like friedman predicted, which, you know, to him is just a complete backwards way to approach inflation. it won't work in addressing the fundamentals. and so there's a series of these really fraught letters, and then they just kind of fizzle out and, you know. friedman and do find a way to connect based their long history but their relationship is really profoundly and so for me it was interesting that you know he has this moment you might think is a moment of triumph for him but it's on a personal level rather it is. and one of the points that

ukrainians are fighting and dying and americans and brittons and australians don't have to fight and die. i take your point on taking on the chaos in the border, because you can't get both things right, isn't it better to get one thing right? so could i please appeal to you, please don't go home for christmas without at least giving the ukrainians what they need to fight for their freedom? >> listen-- >> (applause) >> you've echoed the request i've made to the white house since october 26th on that morning and they've not come forward to help in any way. i know ukrainians are dying, but do you know that fentanyl is the leading cause of death for americans 18 to 49, the leading cause of death and the reason it is, the border is wide open. comes from china and into our country. we have to fix our border, it should not be a controversial notion should have done it a long time ago. it's a policy change simple to do. the president could easily do this, but they're unwilling and i can for the life of me understand why. so we're going to take-- we'll take care of our obligation when i go ho

and that we're giving facts factual and and honest and contextual as. you talked about and generally, i try not to put lies on the that too. and if something is verified only not true, then i try not to it on the air because the amount of time that i will have to spend, you know, sandwiching it in, facts it it just amplifies the lie and you this is sometimes the lie is the news and then you have to sandwich it and but these are challenging times. and i do think, as darlene says, there's been an evolution where. you know, there was a time where it was like, well, just going to, you know, this person believes in climate change and this person doesn't believe in climate, we're just going to put them both in our story and let people decide and i think that we have moved more in a direction where if something is just not based, in fact, then we're less likely to give it equal weight over on the side. hi, erika. lala stoner. i think the burning question in my mind really i'm going to say what i are kind of cuss words till murdoch fox dominion. that's kind of.

and five and 5 or 6 and four. then you can combine those and do all kinds of math with yourself. and so that's it's not about just memorizing and that's the kind of the excitement that you're just sharing. is that the excitement that we want to see in the kids. but to do that, we are also looking at the right coaching model. and that's why our executive director for professional learning, dr. hernandez, went because she will bring those lessons so that we can create a universal professional learning and professional coaching model across the district because another fact that we know is coaching models in the district as of right now, they vary depending on who is the entity providing the coaching and who is the entity, providing the professional learning, the superintendent has tasked us with really looking at what will be the professional learning model that we can have across the board and every school and every teacher will have access to it. therefore every student will benefit from that excitement and that c

and good luck. your new book, milton friedman the last conservative, is the first ll biography of milton friedman let's art off with, who was milton friedman? so milton friedman was probably best known as a famous economist he, along with maynard keynes, is one of the most influential economists in the 20th century and he worked over the course of his career to establish an alternative to keynesian economics and keynesian economic policy. and he awarded the 1976 nobel prize in economics. but as i show in my book, he's first and foremost an economist, much more than that. i also call him a philosopher of because he articulated a vision of individual freedom, limited government and personal initiative that really became wrapped up in the 20th century conservative movement made him really a political icon and also a household figure. so how did americans, though, come to know friedman so i read his famous book, capitalism and freedom and high school. but he was also he was a figure on television, had a

and in a broader sense, his championing, and passion for new and diverse voices and for small and independentsses set an early example for booksellers everywhere. he demonstrated that these voices and presses, would find their readers, when given a chance. he continued to be a catalyst for change, a transformational change, that we witness today, and each and every laydown tuesday. i recently saw this post, i think it was by and shall berg and she writes, this is what is great about bookselling, it's an embrace of the plural, whether within the store or broadly across the land. and paul's embrace of other booksellers is profound. his warmth his smile, the joy he wears so well. he's a friend and mentor to young and old, and i've gathered a few of those voices for you, just a few, if i went further, there would be hundreds, melissa powers rights, one of the qualities that i love and admire most is his curiosity, and the way it guides him with such kindness and humility. he's curious about the craft of bookselling. it's myriad approaches, he's interested in his colleague's perspective, regardles

yet and check it now, $71 a barrel and bitcoin and dropping below 41,000 and now back to 41, 8 off thehs of last week. that's the markets and now this. the president had a big weekend, he went to california, held two fundraisers and walked away with an estimated $15 million. hollywood stars were out in force. steven spielberg, barbara streisand, jeffrey katzenburg and eager to open their wallets for the man taking on hated donald trump. hollywood love affair with biden is not shared by middle america. biden came back to a polling shock. saturday "the wall street journal" put donald trump four points ahead of the president in head-to-head matchup. this morning, cnn released a poll showing trump beating biden 49-44 in georgia and in michigan, trump beats him 10 points, 150-40. it was perhaps desperation that drove the president to invite hillary clinton to join his campaign. nbc's article reads cline ton is popular with women and key parts of the democratic base and remains a fundraising draw and helps biden secure the money to get his messaging out". this is strange. biden doesn't much

of your coming and this and that.ng to say, okay, you don't seem to be a threat. they don't know because they're not doing, i think, proper screening. when you have 10 and 12,000 people coming a day and you're unable to basically really adjudicate maybe 500, no more than a thousand. but 500 normally, jake, you're over run and turn them loose and say we'll get to you later. there could be very dangerous people coming for whatever nefarious reasons they're coming for. i don't want to take that chance. i don't think we should take that chance and i think our negotiators from the republicans and democrats, and with the white house involved, committed to getting this border under control. that is what i'm really very hopeful for and i think we're going to see something next week and we'll stay there until we get it done. >> you're considering runsning for president, you're launching a two-month tour to mobilize voters who feel politically homeless. does that mean that you'll make a decision on whether or not you'll run for
