nevertheless in the spirit of provocation i'll begin my remarks by quoting irving kristol who argues in his well-known essay of the spiritual roots of capitalism and socialism that the alleged affinity of jewish for the last can be traced to attention in judaism itself. according to kristol the by the prominent role in socialist movements are on the whole those who believe in what they call prophetic judaism. another risk in the hope the hope for a 15th world and other jews suggests are more strongly attracted to the poll of judaism which rationality under law and is never had any objections to capitalism. in the majority of american jews are operationally rabbinic. albeit in a secularized way. nevertheless they like to think of themselves as being prophetic and not only as individuals but also collectively and historically. this accounts for the incongruous and often anachronistic appeal to socialism that still care arises american jewish politics, culture and even religious life. in the prosperous suburban congregation i sat through more than one sermon that began with a quote from

bill kristol is trying to make money off of it. i understand it.elis are wrong? >> the current likud party headed by prime minister netanyahu is wrong on this. once they get a final deal on june 30th i think you'll see the israeli rhetoric change. >> laicie will they like the deal? >> i think all that oppose the deal will have to have it proven to them and i think that's nothing with that. it will be. >> at the end of the day the 47 signatures that were on that letter were a non-factor from the united states senate? >> yeah ultimately they weren't a factor. really getting through this bipartisan negotiation on this agreement, i mean folks agree that this -- that this is a good thing for united states security. >> so tom cotton joe, was a tool politically because his efforts seem to have failed? >> he grossly overplayed his hand and complicated the u.s. negotiating position. his letter was raised by the iran negotiators who were saying, well can you real deliver on this deal so it undercut the u.s. as they were trying to negotiate with one of our ch

bill kristol writes, we were right to invade iraq in 2003 and to remove saddam hussein and to completelyhe job we started in 1991 and the obama administration threw it all way. and here's lindsey graham. >> was the iraq war a mistake? >> no, i don't think so. the biggest mistake we made was leaving iraq, without a follow-on force against sound military advice. >> well, michael hanlan is a senior fellow with the brookings institute and michael tomasky. what do you make of the neocon argument? it's an ideological war, we admit it, we never really did believe in the wmd, we're glad we fought it, because we got rid of saddam hussein. >> yeah, well, look, saddam hussein was a really bad guy, chris. nobody argues with that. but the the world better off now? no. the world is not better off now. some portions of the iraqi population are probably better off. the kurds are probably better off. there's no complete black and complete white here. it's a very complicated picture. so, yeah, some people are better off because saddam hussein is gone, saddam hussein was a complete monster. is the world ov

. >> bill kristol, lindsey graham. >> they will know when you talk about them.w -- >> you have to fight before you can fight for any general election against hillary clinton, who i know you've been you know remarking on you have to win the gop nomination. and can you do it by alienating what was at least as of a few years ago said about 10% of the gop which is neocon surplus? >> yeah but here's the thing, megyn. i didn't start this. it's not my choice to start out by having a war with republicans. but i will tell you, for example, in polling in iowa about two months ago they asked the question are you -- do you favor rand paul's foreign policy of being less involved or do you favor john mccain anticipate policy of being more involved intervening for in war around the world and it's actually pretty evenly split. about half the republicans think, yeah john mccain is always right and we should have troops in 15 countries and be at war continuously but about half the party says you know what rand paul has a point. sometimes we get involved and it actually backfires

why does bill kristol have all the influence. >> hasn't traveled outside the beltway enough. once he gets out into the rest of america in kentucky where we live in middle part of the america or anyone outside the beltway, there's a disconnect between the washington insiders and the rest of us in both parties. hillary clinton is much more hawkish and more likely to get us involved in another war, than most of america, republican or democrat. you see the little boomlet for other people on democrat side. people aren't so eager to believe that his his was right to take us to war in libya, and so i think you'll find that as it gets out to the regular voters outside of washington, there's a much more mixed and nuanced feeling about war. >> on a scale of 1 to 10 a dove being 0, hawk being 10 where's hillary? >> you know, i'm not sure exactly. >> is she a 7? >> well i think what she is i think she's been indiscriminate in the use of force and i think not thinking. there are people on both sides that are rational good thinkers. brent scowcroft, i'm not sure what side of the friends. b

and so often many of us that know the story we think about kristol kristallnacht and i wanted to know what happened with all of those days in between. there is a restriction. what happened to regular people, people you don't read about leaders of the community. they didn't own something we were fighting over in court. select a time there was about three forgotten slave labor camps and those were tasked with redistributing all of the goods imported from france, 76000 jews. and what had happened to them when they were deported the french moving companies would collect everything. and jewish slaves would be forced to push the goods into two groups. everything really usable, and then they would send them to the right to bomb victims. personal journals, school papers, they were told to burn them so that no one would remember those who have been sent away. this story haunted me and it haunted those that i interviewed. and there were still some survivors interviewed that had lived their lives almost unable to speak about having his final moments of the people who had been sent. at the time t

it seems to me to say almost the same thing as irving kristol from city college namely that it is theffinity for socialism is at odds with the practices and beliefs of most actual jews but the caveat is that he approves of nationalism and this might be the starting for range of a discussion of neo-conservative is of. so that the individuals are always mysterious the question and i would like to consider is less why some becalmed a socialist new york they are so often that the and favorably remembered by those who are not. for one reason i think many jews like the idea of a prophetic tradition more than they like the reality. the a growing appeal of american jews is a matter of a guilty conscience. to as much as an apology for success that allows jews to believe that our influence and wealth is different from the entrenched influence and interest that they so bitterly criticized. second jews like to talk and think and write about other jews so that's how did of hunting them down to make them the subject of books in the process we unintentionally inflate their numbers. the profusion of

with the opposing view is bill kristol of "the weekly standard," saying "we were right to go in there and to stay and to continue to stay." richard, what do you think? caller: i just get so tired of hearing the same answer from democrats. i'm glad representatives like mr. smith worked around in world war ii. we would have surrendered multiple times. let me correct him, and i'm going to send the article to his office. last year "the new york times" published an article that the cia found 5000 artillery shells that had sarin gas. the artillery shells were not ready to be fired. that is correct. but the sarin gas was still there. that was published in "the new york times." you keep hearing this mantra there were no weapons of mass destruction. it's pure nonsense. the reason we failed, and it is obvious from even to this former marine and aviator, that bremer messed this up by disbanding the iraqi army. the generals in the iraq he army then are the ones fighting is now in isis could everyone has agreed to that. there was no isis when there was the sunni awakening. everything was fine unti
