inflationary chickens will come home to roost so to speak and that's actually consistent with what milton friedman said he always said that monetary policy acts with the lives of you know twelve to eighteen months in you know q.e. one started no nine and you know now we're we're you know close to twenty four months down the road and we're starting to see some of the size of inflation here and on your point about housing yes he absolutely does want to maintain housing housing as advice for a number of reasons number one. the wealth effect number two the ability to borrow against care housing number three for running a banking collapse because so many of those loans are on the books of the banks you know certainly in the commercial sector and of course we all know what's going on with fannie mae and freddie mac. the problem is you have bubble dynamics that this bubble you know a lot of people say started no two in it in some ways but i would say the bogle really started in the mid ninety's with changes in housing policy during the clinton ministration that were continued through the bush administrat

abolitionist frederick douglass delivered a celebrated speech in washington and the unveiling of the friedman's monument. a statue that is still there showing abraham lincoln conferring freedom on a slave kneeling before him. it is an often quoted speech in which douglas talks in interesting ways about lincoln's use of race and slavery and the emancipation. along the way douglas said the man can say anything that is new of abraham lincoln. but it has not stopped innumerable lawyers and political theorists and literary critics, psychiatrist and many others from trying to say something new about abraham lincoln. in the past few years thanks to the bicentennial of lincoln's birth there has been another outpouring of works of every size and description many offering of valuable new insights into lincoln's career. i am frequently asked why are you writing a book about lincoln? what is there to say any more? is there anything new to say? i feel that the dramatic expansion of scholarship on lincoln has often gone hand in hand with a kind of narrowing of focus. is so preferential quality. not every sin

going to have any support whatsoever, the notion of black political rights or any right for the friedman after that -- free men after the civil war. he grudgingly accepted abolition. he was a slaveholder himself. he was not a large scale slaveholder. but he did have slaves. he was a supporter of slavery. he was adamant about black inferiority. he said everybody has to admit white people are superior to blacks. we should try to raise them up but as we raise the mop we should raise ourselves even further so that the distance would always be the same. that was his plan. he said this is a white man's government and will remain a white man's government. when somebody says that out loud and says it adamantly over and over again and you have a policy from the republicans in congress that blacks vote and land reform and some sort of political life for black people you realize the president and congress are at loggerheads and that is what it was all about. his vision of this off, bringing this of back into the union did not encompass anything about changing black people's status beyond taking the

so tom friedman has called this sort of containment light strategy. in other words really enhancing relationships with the countries and circling china. what happened on the policy on china took a u turn halfw through. obama like every president came in and said ohe'regoing to fix this relationship. we're not going to be as rocky, we're not going to be as confrontational with china. and what his china advisorsznód me was that that was interpreted by the chinese as weakness. and it's very important moment about halfway in when hillary clinton does a speech in hanoi and it's an obscure issue of the south china sea. and she makes a very big speech and says the united states has ro in the south china s.t%o this is a big deal to the chinese. since then our policy with china has been more confrontational. of the example of how your view of the world never survives the actual reality of president. >> charlie: what is it actually. you lay it out and you quote a lot of insiders talking about the president so what kind of blow back do you get from the whiteho

thanks to milton friedman and richard nixon and the congress we have an all volunteer military. every single one of those people who serve our country serve because they want to serve, serve because they decided they want to raise their hand and go and help protect our country. that dedication and patriotism and pride they feel is so powerful, how does one answer that? the answer -- >> they will push us to tell it exactly what the sacrifice is made for. does anyone ever do that? >> guest: shore. >> host: what do you say? world war ii is not hard but a war like iraq or vietnam or something that is not full throttle, what do you say? >> guest: a war that is army is against navy's, air forces against air forces, that is clear. that is understandable. it starts and ends. it ended in world war ii. what we went through in the cold war was quite different with many decades, and ideological competition of ideas. and there was never going to be a signing ceremony. what we are in today is more like that. it is a longer period of time. it is a marathon, not a sprint. it is the competition

the big difference between the vietnam war and the conflicts today is that, thanks to milton friedman and richard nixon and the congress, we have an all volunteer military. every single one of those people who serve our country serve because they wanted to serve. they serve because they consciously decided they wanted to raise their hand and go until protect our country. and that dedication and patriotism and that pride that they feel is so powerful. now, how does one answer that? i guess the answer is that -- >> and what the johnson people said is they will push us to tell the exact with the sacrifice is made for. does anyone ever do that? >> sure. >> world war ii i assume would be, that's not hard. but a war like iraq or vietnam or something that's not full throttle, what do you say to? >> a war that is armies against navy, air force against air force's, that's clear. that's understandable. it starts and ends. they did in world war ii on the uss missouri, the battleship with the signing ceremony. what we went through in the cold war was a different. it was many decades long. it was

because thomas friedman wrote two years ago concerning pakistan and india, the democracy in of india gave raise to what india is today whereas the dictatorship and pakistan that led to all of those. so my question will there ever be because the people are the same culture and the language? so your comment and question -- answer. >> there is a very important question. let me just for the benefit of the rest of the audience put a little bit of perspective here. general mushar after he first tried nuclear implementation and several terrorists attacks and threats came around. he's a slow learner, but he got the right outcome. the outcome that he negotiated with the indians, and i've talked to him about it and i've talked to the indians, everyone agrees on what it was. it was a deal in which the cease fire line in kashmir would be recognized as an important border so that indian territorial integrity would be expected, but it would be a permable border. so kashmir can go back and forth a little bit like maryland and virginia, a lot more like europe where there's not a lot of border. unfor
