i learned this from arthur finkelstein. is a very serious business, it affects millions of people. it affects not just it affects notjust hundreds of millions of people but billions of people. arthur said, i really have to believe 100% and love deeply person i am working for to be president of the united states, and he had many offers to work for different people over the years, and he said no. i kind of feel that way about donald trump. i just don't have the deep feeling that i would want to work for a donald trump. quite frankly, you ask me who i would want to work for in the united states elections, i do not know the answer. so the short answer is no. the long answer as it is a very serious to elect a president of the united states, and i have to be fully behind that individual. the constant use of service to collect our personal data is combined with deep learning algorithms to monitor our online habits. political parties gain a remarkably accurate database of the gender, age, and personalities of the voters, and the to

we spoke with jeffrey finkelstein, head of the jewish federation of greater pittsburgh. listen to what he said about what happened today. >> we are grateful for the jury's efforts to reach a just decision today. the federation does not have a position on the death penalty. but this was an act of anti-semitism, and the defendant deserves to answer for his crime. >> in fact, by all accounts, this was the deadliest anti-semitic attack in u.s. history. on monday, what the jurors will begin to do is listen to more argument from the prosecution and from the defense about this man's murder of 11 people who were worshipping their faith on the saturday sabbath back in october of 2018. they will, again, hear more arguments of the prosecution saying that this was intentional, this man was calculating, he brought in ammunition, more than 700 rounds of ammunition with an ar-15, and he intended to kill jews. they will also hear from the defense who say that he was mentally disturbed, that he's schizophrenic, that he has brain damage, and he could not have intentionally done this. the

finkelstein's ludwig wittgenstein, a was a second cousin to his mother, so they were related and they interacted to some extent. him less so when he was in vienna, more when when they were both together in cambridge during the war. this viewer says i was a business student at the university of chicago before professor mccloskey was there. there was no of austrian economics and definitely not hayek or hayek and. austrian contributions to economics being covered more these days. no, and it's it's very strange. i was i was on the faculty at university of chicago for years and hayek's no not was israel kerzner his books were being published by the university of chicago press and they keep reminded. so i bought copies of because they were cheap, but i didn't read them very carefully. and and the it's very strange for me maybe bruce can shed light shed light on it. there was a kind of contempt for austrian among the chicago economists symbolized the failure of the department of economics to hire this guy when they had a chance. he was upstairs in the committee on social thought, you know. s
