friedman, welcome back. good to see you. >> thanks, tyler. >> you know, the primary season is a time for hot rhetoric. would any of these candidates really follow through or be able to follow through on some of the business whacking that they've campaigned on? >> i think the answer to that, tyler, is largely no. i think clinton is more pragmatic than she's been showing. regard less of that, i agree we're going to have a republican house of representatives. i think the senate will go the same way as the white house. but the republicans will be in the house. so i don't really see how she would be able to implement the kind of agenda that would make businesses nervous. so i don't think on her side there's that great an issue that something gets done. trump, he's a populist. he's a progressive. but he's certainly not anti-business. so, again, i don't see him doing something that roils the markets as far as business is concerned. >> doesn't it come down to control of congress? no matter who wins? >> yes. i think

joining us now with his thoughts is andrew friedman with the "washington update." good it have you here. welcome back. >> thanks. >> would you agree with that, that the income inequality equation is part of what's driving the anger? >> absolutely. i think it's going to be the issue of the campaign once we get to the general election. both parties acknowledge income inequality is a problem. paul ryan came out with a large report on it a couple of years ago about what had to be done. and i think this will be the issue and the question is, you know, how do we reconcile what the two sides are going to say which are very different? >> i was just going to say, they have very different approaches as to how to solve income ine wallty or whether they actually can. >> yes. if you look at the democrats, their view is capitalism has hard edges, government has to step in to try to smooth out those edges and programs that create jobs and provide education raise the minimum wage, all of that will help income inequality. the republicans say just the opposite. republicans say 50 ye

we launch this series now with new york times foreign affairs columnist, thomas friedman.om friedman, welcome back to the program. >> great to be with you. >> woodruff: you wrote a program flatley saying the peace process is dead, why do you believe that? because it's dead. it's actually been dead for a while, i just called it by its real name. un, it's clear to me, judy, that both sides have conspired-- this was like "murder on the orient express." there were so many stab wound in this body hard to tell exactly which one was the fatal blow. you now have near approaching 500,000 jewish settlers in the west bank, and depending on where you define the border. remember it took 50,000 israeli soldiers and police to remove peacefully 8,000 settlers from gaza. so imagine if you're talking about, you know, 400,000 to 500,000. on the palestinian side, you've had some really bad developments. in the last israeli-palestinian war, hamas fired a rocket that landed basically on the outskirts of israel's only international airport, basically, or major international airport. and the u.s.

tom friedman writes, only trump can trump trump. he writes, trump's other joker and what can stop him are those attracted to racism. they may go too far and do something ugly. he goes into a pretty scathing attack, i would say, on the republican party in the history of who it's backed and some of the values it's backed that led to the trump phenomenon. then goes into what could stop trump and concludes that it's only trump himself with examples like this one, but then friedman also says don't bet on it necessarily because the trump momentum continues to gain, and the supports are feeling their gut and not their mind, which is why never trump and some of the opposition of trump aren't going to be successful. >> i think very true as well for the race for the republican nomination. but things will change a lot once we get through that stage. there's lots of other factors that could come into play. it's an interesting take in terms of the rest of this republican nomination. >> we'll see what happens on tuesday. florida and ohio. we're a

laura friedman of americans for peace now which opposes settlement construction calls his idea laughable. >> what this really is saying is we want to fundamentally change the entire concept of israeli palestinian peace. we want to erase all of the understandings that both sides have agreed on since 1993, and we're going to start over based on the situation today. we're going to decree that and the palestinians are just going to have to accept it. >> in the end, some u.s. officials say that until they see a willingness from both palestinians and israelis to return to talks, all they can do is wait. rosalyn jordan, al jazeera, washington. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu canceling a trip that he was supposed to take to washington later this month also turned down an invitation to meet with president obama at the white house. that visit was to coincide with a major pro israeli summit employee netanyahu's office saying he didn't want to travel to the u.s. in the middle of a primary season. the white house said it was surprised to find out about the cancellation through the media.

amy: professor friedman, your response as well?> i agree with him on one issue, and that is the problem caused by the settlements. i happen -- this program is called democracy now! and i happen to be a member of an organization called peace now, which has been deploying the settlements from the beginning and i deplore them as well, whether it is rel, which is sort of like a bone in the mouth of state --e palestinian which i'm a supporter of the two state solution strongly, as by the way, is mrs. clinton, which she also said in her presentation -- i share the problem of the settlement expansion. yet yousef munayyer tends to overlook a few issues of history. palestinians were offered a state by the u.n. 1947, rejected in 1968 can up with a plan, a good two state solution including sharing jerusalem, palestinians rejected it. they rejected it in 2008. this most recent effort by the united states during a nine-month effort, the didstinians and mr. abbas not even respond to the american plan. so one can talk about occupation and occupat

friedman asserts your plan will have huge beneficial impact on growth rates, income and implanted thatxceed even the most grandiose predictions by republicans about the impact of their tax cut proposals. as much as we wish it were so, no credible economic research supports economic impacts of these magnitudes, making such promises runs against our party's best traditions of evidence-based policymaking and undermines our reputation as the responsible arithmetic. these crimes undermine the credibility of the progressive economic agenda and make it that much more difficult to challenge the unrealistic claims made by republican candidates." can you respond to what they have said? >> they are entitled to their opinion, amy, but i respectfully disagree. bernie sanders is climbing, and professor jill freedman, an economist, backing him up, is climbing that he could, because of his proposals such as a single-payer plan, get economic growth up to 5.3%. that is not out of the historic dimension of what is possible. 5.3%,ly 1980's, we have almost 5.4% economic growth. and also get unappointed dow

the key idea to jeffrey friedman i put forward is through all this welter acronyms like ceos in mortgage-backed securities and all these other terms there's basically one single underlining story that is actually repeated over and over again throughout history. that is for whatever reason government either encouraged to run their own push through increased borrowing. sometimes it is in the belief that the times are different and we can manage the increased borrowing in an efficient way in a safe way. so alan greenspan sometime in the mid-2007 we are all borrowing much more, but we are in essence a lot smarter than we used to be. we have computers to manage risk. we have any theories about how to tour a drink how to tour a drink you at risk how to do with brisket with derivatives that can help us manage risk. so the idea we could just borrow more is not as scary as it used to be. our view is that it's a very dangerous idea and the particularly dangerous idea because you get into trouble when we borrow a lot and the environment changes and a lot of borrowing we paid easily as them. that's 2008. t

rishaad: there is, it's monetary the school ofis milton friedman.netary policy was discredited in the 1970's -- rishaad: but now the onus is on governments to do more, would you not agree? >> the government should do more, but what, do what? so far it is about monetary policy and trying to get the markets going. richer through inflation. rishaad: you get asset bubbles at the end of the day. that ifhose guys think i can get a bubble going, then the economy will do better. we ultimately end up going from one financial crisis to another. not recoveredve fully from the financial crisis, have we? we seem to be running out of steam. have been economy allowed to take the course it needed to without assistance, a lot of pain, but short-term pain for long-term gains. >> if you stabilize the reforms, then no you have a worse outcome. maybe it's better to let companies fail. that's what happened in the 1930's in the united states. a lot of people said it was a huge mistake to go through the alternative -- i do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. at the

open letter from "we are concerned to see the sanders campaign citing extreme claims by professor friedmanaims that cannot be supported by the economic evidence." if you are using standard keynesian models, conservative estimates, why the strong pushback? >> because they are not using keynesian analysis. the others, for whom i have great respect, but we see things differently. they are working in the classical model. they are assuming the growth rate of the economy is set by demographic factors and by technology independent of the state of effective demand. this is exactly what was criticized when he wrote the general theory. it is the approach that was rejected in the united states during the golden years from the late 1940's to the early 1970's when we had higher rates of growth in the economy and productivity growth. many in the economics profession law swung back to the old that supply determines demand, and the you automatically have full employment. critics ise by my they adjust their expectations what iseconomy to actually happening on the assumption that we are basically always at
