and wrote these wonderful letters back to family and also supporters of the friedman education movement in the northeast describing what they were doing. we've got all these wonderful letters that she wrote during the war back to family and supporters of the freedman spoke in the northeast. describing the work they were doing and why it was so important. and so forth sepulchers of this letter that she wrote very near the end of the war, april 20, 1865, describing the fact that they are having these enormous numbers of people attending school in richmond. she says we have more than 1000 children in 75 adults and found that after disciplining them entering the region struck the this is a duty multitudes from blackboard. so you see the dramatic notion of the huge numbers of people asking for information. she's not only educating these students in the south but she is educating and engaging people in the north to understand what's going on. in fact, i think by way of doing that, this is on the back of a couple of receipts for slaves, a link receipt. people say my gosh, this is from some oth

it's uncanny how many of the top performers are in dena friedman's fund., amazon, autozone, priceline. these are the holdings she increased over the course of the year. it was just remarkably prescient. brendan: something that just said explains a question i had about this yesterday. a stock to me is not is for an economy, it's when you want to go and get your own batteries and put them in the car yourself. if you are talking about a slow grinding forward, looking at something like that, if we are adding value to our old cars, then autozone is the right pick. matt: we have an aging fleet of automobiles. that's absolutely true. she would say automobiles today are more sophisticated. they are actually computers in some sense. so the need for repairs, addressing all kinds of quirks that didn't exist decades ago are now upon us. that's what makes a company like autozone especially relevant and successful. david: do you know how she's done over a longer term? i was looking at her returns over the three and five year period. this year she's in the 95th percentil

view was slightly, actually, a big departure from the dominant view that was associated with milton friedman which had talked about the monetary influences. bernanke talked about the credit influences, that you really have to rescue the financial system to make sure that lending continues. and so i give him a lot of credit for saving things. the bush administration did push through a small stimulus package in 2008, and that probably helped a bit. but really in terms of fiscal policy t.a.r.p., which was the bank bailout, was incredibly important because it reassured people in the financial sector -- along with the federal reserve actions -- reassured people that the banking system was going to continue. okay? essentially, t.a.r.p. was a recapitalization of the banking system. the banks b had been holding lots of assets that suddenly were less valuable than they originally thought. if that happens sufficiently, then the banks are insolvent, and they either shut down or continue as zombie banks as they did in japan for a while. and so you need some money to come in to provide funds to make thos

tom friedman wrote that while vladimir putin may still popular home in some ways, his international gambitsot working out. syria is not really working out. do you agree with that? is he the offense or on the defense? john kasich: i think he is on the offense. , which very much concerns me, to put this air defense system in their, has some significant indications for the region. i think the west has not been strong enough in supporting ukraine, in reassuring the baltics. finns are and the nervous. whenever we appear weak, on the other side, he appears menacing and strong. but i don't think we should panic. i think we need to take action to make it clear that we are not going tolerate this kind of activity in central europe. and in terms of what i believe in the middle east, as you know, i believe we should have a coalition to destroy isis and i've been saying that since last february. you've been making the argument that you are the best national security candidate. some of your colleagues have been making that argument. where are the divisions within the party on policy on national security

what you think about tom friedman who wrote that letter putting's -- vladimir putin's latest campaignse been a failure, and that what he's doing in syria has been a failure for him, not a success? mr. bradley: in terms of his domestic constituency in russia, it's been a genetic success. in terms of achieving's objectives, no it has not been a success. do we want another enemy in the world? i think we have enough. we have to see that russell has legitimate security interests -- russia has legitimate security interests. i have argued for a long while that what we need to do is say unequivocally that ukraine will not be a part of nato. and that is a neutral country it can deal with west and east. it worked very well for finland, austria, and it should work well for ukraine. that is the beginning. mark: what about in syria? what has the u.s. done in juggling the relationship with russia? mr. bradley: on the middle east and with syria, we need a little more humility and a little less naivete. the only answer to fighting isis is sunni troops on the ground. we don't want to fall into the isis
