lieberman arrived in africa in september two thousand and nine at the head of a large entourage even suited five african states including three of the upstream nile basin countries kenya uganda and ethiopia. the minister came with a big economic delegation representatives of more than twenty of the biggest israeli companies we had business seminars with business meetings and we see a very very big follow up in terms of business the. opportunities for investment. lieberman was the first israeli foreign minister to go on an african tour since the one nine hundred sixty s. . the sight of lieberman making friends and doing deals in the nile upstream countries around concern in egypt. egyptians were once again worried these rallies were meddling in their backyard in a region holding the source of the nile. the african countries lieberman visited dismissed egyptian suspicions stating the visit was strictly business. not the dictating. government foreign minister has a paid. visit it came here not to talk about whether to reduce. what do they give to simply this is a government to governmen

so in that sense, avigdor lieberman is calling his own soldiers traitors.ies... but only a very tiny minority are influenced by you. the vast majority are not. you have, perhaps, a thousand voices gathered in breaking the silence, of the many tens and tens of thousands of israelis, who, over that span of time, have served in the idf. it comes to the point made by another minister, deputy minister of foreign affairs, tzipi hotovely, who says, "a subversive organisation" — that is her description of you — "a subversive organisation based on lies that is actively trying to besmirch israel's good name and that of the idf." so i would say, and this is where i think hotovely is the best example — hotovely is basically calling for a de facto one state that will become an apartheid. and hotovely is supporting not the state of israel or its soldiers, but the occupation. and what we're trying to besmirch, and we are trying to besmirch something, is not israel, but the occupation itself. but the point is, as a citizen of israel, you've every right to whatever politica

oren lieberman live from jerusalem.investigation, what are we talking about here? >> reporter: john, as you pointed out, the fifth investigation, two arrests in this case, and at least one of those is very close to netanyahu, a former family spokesperson who for years worked for netanyahu. that's as close to the inner circle as it gets. here is what we know of the investigation. police are look at the period of late 2015, when they say these two suspects approached a, quote, senior public member, we understand to be a high ranking judge, and offered to make that judge the attorney general of the state of israel in exchange for future agreement on a case. police say that agreement never materialized and didn't identify either suspect, but it was netanyahu himself who said it is his former family spokesperson, essentially saying i had nothing to do with this and i don't know what that family spokesperson was up to and certainly never consulted the netanyahus on their actions. now, that's just the second case this week bec

easy to decide when do we need to weigh our strategic interests highly or as a priority and senator lieberman member the canon is not you know and so again we walk this tightrope and we don't say no and you know people who look at the other multilateral investment banks whether it's the world bank. or the i.m.f. . you know they soberly see that there is there is good in having a new kid on the block with a new innovative model a lot of people agree that there's just too much bureaucracy in overhead within some of these other multilateral development banks and so you know we can't we sometimes we may just sort of sometimes we make the mistake of assuming that you know china's motives are always nefarious and that is just as naive as believing that it doesn't have a strategic interest you know when it acts in the world the truth is a balance of both and it's always about in the case trying to figure out which is well in favor of the united states as an retaliated against david cameron's decision when george osborne was the joy to be what do you think just just for a second what do you think don

there is no joe lieberman wing. it's really very similar what's happened in britain with jeremy corbyn and the labor party. this is a prescription for them to take themselves into political irrelevant rance. because working class democrats. the people who voted for ronald reagan. many of the same people and their children who voted for donald trump in the industrial midwest are appalled by this kind of behavior. and the democrats are bringing it on themselves. i think it was so revealing. you couldn't have scripted it better. >> laura: yuajuan. >> i think the ambassador is right about the parties going to the extreme so that i think he is right. the democrats are being driven to the farther left because of the antipathy toward trump but remember republicans had a strong antipathy towards president obama and were driven to the right. when i look at this and going back to what you were discussing at the top here, laura, i look at president trump coming out last night and saying i've got the biggest tax cut for you eve

respond to it is the way lisa murkowski responded to it when she lost her primary or the way joe lieberman responded to it, by running as an independent or a third party candidate. they both won. jeff flake who i think will have an extraordinary career in whatever he does, he could have run as an independent in arizona. that would have been one way to respond to it. on the money question, look, i'm given to overstatement and simplification. citizens united decision was the worst decision of the supreme court since dred scott. it's a very terrible decision. not withstanding that, both sides raised a lot of money and sometimes the candidates with less money win. and bernie sanders deserves enormous recognition for showing you can raise $27 million $27 at a time. the energy that is out there in the country is going to make up for some of the money problem, but i do believe the constitutional crisis that may be coming if the president decides to fire mueller or try to force the resignation of him through some other way, will put the republican senators to the test. do you care more about the c
