he said, call david friedman. tell david to get it done.ell david to get the embassy built and open in jerusalem. [applause] true story. karen and i got in the motorcade, drove to the airport. there was ambassador david friedman. a great american. standing on the tarmac, shaking my hand. i walked up to him and he said, mr. vice president, it was good to have you here. he told me to tell you to get it done. [applause] he said well, no. we are working with the state department. we will work with congress. i said, david, that is not what he said. he said get it done. david got the look in his eye that a new york real estate lawyer can get. [laughter] five months later for pennies on the dollar, we opened the u.s. embassy in jerusalem. [applause] david got it done. [applause] so, the president made the decision to keep a promise. and a great champion of israel was our ambassador. two years later on a trip to israel, karen and i made in the early days of 2020, before the covid pandemic was known and understood, we were there to participate in an

david friedman. will they be involved in the campaign? what role do you see them having in a future second trump administration? >> i think we will have them. i think we will have a lot of new people. it has been a vicious group of people outside shooting at us. every once in a wild, people get tired. i understand that very much. the three people you named did a tremendous -- regardless of who it is there will be people that have that policy. there will be people that have that whole view of israel and of the middle east and of the abraham accords. everything will be very much as it was. two years ago, israel was never in better shape in many ways, with the world. you saw what was happening with the abraham accords where countries that were unthinkable were signing up. really becoming partners with israel. those were tough countries. the first one, you know that. it was headed by a great warrior, highly respected all over the world. certainly respected in the middle east. they literally -- we were going to get them all signed up, every on

ambassador to israel david friedman tweeted this. you are better than this.fuentes is unacceptable. throw these bums out. disavow them. relegate them to the dustbin of history where they belong. given that trump has said and done is he better than what we are seeing here? >> when somebody shows you who they are you should believe him. takes days to disavow david duke, former kkk clansman. if somebody likes me i like me. that's it. doesn't matter who they are or anti-semitic or racist. looking at the denials from trump with a lie in them you know that the whole thing is bs. he says that west showed up with three friends. nick fuentes. one is karen jorno and trump knew well. there's the issue of trump himself spewed anti-semitism in the past and said that american jews not grateful to him enough for his support to israel. >> i want people to understand this nick fuentes situation. this is someone who has some degree of fame in the very dark right wing corp.ers on the internet but to understand he attended the charlottesville rally. saying the u.s. has a white d

saw some people, you did see some people, including his handpicked former ambassador to israel, david friedman come right up and condemn this meeting, and they directly to the former president, who are better than this. you also see folks like the rnc member, bill pollack tucci, who came right out and said, this is despicable. and it shows that the former presidents actions and judgment are despicable and indefensible. he tweeted this i, reached out to him about it and you are starting to see to hear republicans who are starting to say after these midterm elections in which they failed to take the senate on, number of mr. trump's handpicked candidates underperformed in their races. there are folks looking at the calculus and saying is it worth it to continue standing back from. those few and far between. we haven't seen a number of republican leadership condemning nick fuentes via at the meeting with the president. >> folks speaking, out i can't help but wonder if this is because they think what he did was wrong or because they feel like as a viable challenger, i.e., ron desantis, and that tru

david friedman, former ambassador to israel said even a social visit from an anti-semite like kanye westlike fuentes is unacceptable. and the republican jewish coalition came out and said all political leaders need to reject messages of hate and refuse to meet with kanye and fuentes. that's what all of those republican leaders, but not in congress, are saying. what do we need to hear from allies of the former president in congress? >> i think it would be nice, i think the jewish community would appreciate republicans and congress coming out and forthrightly condemning something like this. i think, also, words are only so much. at a certain point there has to be action inside the republican party to say here is where the lines are. frankly, i don't think we're going to see that. if you look at, say, the republican new house majority, you have someone like marjorie taylor greene who is going to have more influence and get back on committee. she shook hands with nick fuentes and spoke at a conference with him, which is actually far more grave than what trump did, by his own explanation, i d

trump's own former ambassador to israel david friedman called trump out on twitter, saying even a socialest and human scum like nick fuentes is unacceptable. does this dinner gives republicans more of an impetus to dump trump in 2024? >> absolutely. look, it is just a little over a week since donald trump announced that he was going to run for 2024, and already he's breaking bed with those who would spew antisemitic and white nationalist rhetoric. nick is characterized by the anti-defamation league as being a white nationalist. this isn't a time when antisemitic hate crimes are on the race, we already know that kanye west now known as ye has been dumped by his endorsers with adidas and others. just recently, got back on social media with twitter. but the larger picture here is that donald trump knows what he is doing its base is white nationalists. this is not enough for him to play he did not know who these people are, we know that donald trump tries to claim ignorance when he is at his worst, when he is doing his most damage. we can't afford to give him a pass based on ignorance when f

he said to david rubenstein,, -- hopefully thomas friedman would listen to that. right. so why are we thinking thae twil we're going to placate them? w >> and the other thing i got to say is , look, russia, what s saying about they're doing in ukraine is abominable. russwhen you saw what biden was saying about the russiia aa ande vem and the negativity, look,iz. going to b times worse. this is what i keep saying. and when they come to fight, that's going to be a totallyt' different universe. >> and we're acting i hey, yous know what? it's just a misunderstanding here. misunderstanding. >> laura: every time they wrong.say that's the totally wrong approach. every time they say russia, i say china. y china.china and like china ise inroads in africa. when i was. there you go . there. that in america. yeah. when i was when i was there, atke signs are in africa all they want to build a base in equatorial guinea. that's the atlantic coast of africa. but but apparently we're. supposed to collaborate. steven, boeing is hoping for good news post election. and because bidens are in

tom: let me go milton friedman-david legler on you, as a monetarist, where does that money go, if wea balloon of money? prof. weinberg: first of all, the fed takes us back to quantitative tightening, and that is where we will see now we see a big step toward money supply in europe. the other place it goes is that rising prices make the real money stop them of the amount of goods and services that the money can buy become less. therefore, we adjust the amount of money we have to the amount of goods and services we are producing. the money does not disappear, but real money gets you loaded by the rising prices, and a central banks do the right thing, which is what they are doing, which is start to take it lisa: out. this rightsizing of monetary policy, what does that do in terms of the depth of the recession you are predicting? prof. weinberg: well, the recession itself, there are a number of factors. some are just cyclical. the biggest component, though, as i believe we just have not kept up with prices. the inflation will not be self sustained, and we have real incomes coming down. w

david simon. thank you. to the memory of simon kuznets and friedrich hayek and also for young for milton friedman, their youngerlleague. that's the dedication to my father's book, the economic of immigration. i mention this because father would have treasured marion's and gail's new book because it makes excellent contributions to economics. the kinds led my father to admire the nobel prize winners i just mentioned friedman and kuznets kuznets. like hayek's superabundance, shows the critical role of markets and spontaneous order in the evolution of societies and the horrendous failure of particular of a particular form of central economic planning, government population planning. china being the most dramatic. like friedman's work superabundance shows its empirical analysis of the economic of the connection between population growth and resource availability, the importance of elevating empirical analysis over theory. in other words, it sort of something again to set the data matters. couldn't. kuznets made a crucial contribution to the development of national income measurement. he's the man who help us figure

friedman said it was the most anti-black law on the statute books. he found out they didn't care. that got him rethinking about his ideology. my good friend, davidwitz, wrote a book and i interviewed him. used to work for the black panthers and began to realize what was happening and what people were saying how he was hurting people and he did a complete 180 and is now a very conservative activist with a think tank. host: you mentioned counsel -- tom soul and we ask everyone what their favorite books and what you are reading and here's what larry elder told us, the fohead, jd salinger, of human bdage, bonfire of the vanities, free to choose, milton friedman, and every book by thomas sole. what is your relationship? guest: i met him because of the c-span period was on c-span when i had a four hour radio show. c-span commitments that we want to broadcast your show live or die was on for four hours. i get a letter from thomas, dear larry, my wife and i watched the entire four hours. you explained in a clear way, you talk about the importance here and i am a fan. that is like getting a letter from baby ruth. i want him back and we became good friend
