as we're talking today about money printing and inflation what would milton friedman or john maynard keynes have to say what with they buy maybe not what the popular notion would suggest keynesianism today is synonymous with money printing or spending i would argue now mark father recently argued in a king world news interview which by the way is a great radio program he made an interesting point about how modern economists have misrepresented and abuse the work and intentions of people like keynes and friedman people like paul krugman for example or ben bernanke who have strongly associated in selves with these famous economists now earlier i spoke with gloom doom and gloom reports mark father himself all about it take a listen. to people like paul krugman for example or ben bernanke have strongly associated themselves with these famous economist but if keynes or friedman were alive today do you think this they would endorse these modern thinkers policies actually i could tell you keynes was a very intelligent man and actually he also had the flexibility to change some of these view

in a 2008 new yorker magazine profile ian parker wrote of friedman "you sometimes sense that friedman had set himself the task of being more than just an american. on the road and sometimes in print he is america itself or at least a wish for america, politically temper rat, unflagging, optimistic and rap sodally appreciative of golf. " freedman recently returned from china. i'm always glad to have him back at this table to update him on his world travels. just back from china, you couldn't be in china at a more interesting time than now. >> you know, it's really interesting for two reasons, charlie. i've been going to china once a year since 1991 and i've heard two things this trip that really stood out to me. one was the number of people who expressed this kind of "i'm going to get mine and get out of dodge." middle-class people, you know? made your bundle legally or illegally and get out. get your money out, get your kids out. it really struck me. i've not heard that at the scope and scale i picked up on... >> rose: and why is that? >> not quite sure. a sense that maybe this jugger

friedman is usually careful. there was not an ounce of evidence in his book for the proposition that we have been served so well. maybe we have but we would like to see what the evidence is but what would be remarkable if the constitution has only served us well and never once in its 225 years had any defects. and the constitution on occasion was probably all right and may be really very good. as i say it seems to the just remarkably fanciful to say as friedman does that it has served us well and proven equal to the task of coping with major challenges unless you view the war that killed 700,000 people and was a war that was fundamentally caused by the constitution. not simply in spite of the constitution that that is simply a blip that can be overlooked in this presentation of constitutional triumphalism. these benign assertions exemplify the nile that the constitution like -- friedman is incisive with rights of difficulties posed by their respective constitutions in such countries as egypt, lebanon, iraq, afgha

tom friedman, is a military showdown inevitable in this? i mean, i-- just to be the devil's advocate, let me just say, we coexisted with, first, the soviet union and now russia for a long, long time, and they have nuclear weapons. what is the difference in iran having a nuclear weapon and russia having a nuclear weapon or china or pakistan? >> well, i think the argument is that this is a much more unstable regime and the russians, even during the cold war, didn't-- weren't out there vowing to wiept united states off the map. i certainly understand why the israeliisraelis are concerned. i would say a couple of things, though, bob. if i did think that this was a year in which we were going to have to undertake military action from iran-- if i were israel and thinking that-- i wouldn't just be worried about drawing a red line. i would be interested in drawing a green line, too, and that is a green line between israel and west bank. the idea that israel would go on with mad settlement policy in the west bank and at the same time expect the unit

with the mitt romney campaign here to unpack all of this to explain why it's so important is brad friedman himself founder and publisher of the brad blog red blog dot com brad welcome back to the program. a tom good to be here and i've got some good news for you it looks like the republican national committee has now broken ties with this firm they fired this firm after more evidence voter registration fraud by this republican firm has been discovered in florida including apparently dead people signed up registered as new voters in one of the florida counties according to n.b.c. news late tonight wow and now i understand that this firm you were reporting that this firm was taking democratic voters and essentially reregistering them at addresses that were like strip malls and things commercial addresses so that when they go into the polling place they'll be told you're in the wrong place of they'll be given a provisional ballot it won't be caught it but they're right. yeah you do have that right i interviewed the supervisor of elections down there in palm beach county susan booker yesterday

our legal guys are back with us, avery friedman in pittsburgh, richard herman in las vegas. can tackle this one. nfl commissioner roger goodell suspended the players in a scheme that paid players for injuring opponents. the coaches and a gm who were suspended remain out of the game. so because this was a collective bargaining process, it puts the players' louts up against the commissioner on hold. okay, richard, this is very complicated. . how did this come to be that the suspensions were overturned by this arbitration or appeals panel? >> because the players were allowed, pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement to take this level of appeal and the arbitrators ruled that the commissioner exceeded his authority. he did not have the power to be judge, jury and executionary, which is what he was in this case, and he got spanked, and he got sacked, clearly, fred, and these players are going to -- vilma will be on the field this weekend if he's physically healthy enough. >> apparently he's injured and may not but will smith, the defensive end apparently might, right? be a
