we need some help. >>> back with me now is is tom freedman to talk about america's role in the palestinianic politics. tom is the foreign affairs columnist and author of "thank you for being late", an optimist guide to thriving in the age of acceleration. i want struck, tom, that the two preachers who opened and closed the opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem, this extraordinary moment were two evangelical preachers who said essentially that jews are damned and will burn in the the hell fires. one praised hitler. what does that tell you? >> it shows you, fareed, how off the israeli leadership is about america today. they have lost so many mainstream jews, conservative and reform jews. benjamin netanyahu's view is i can get away with anything because i have the evangelicals and the republican party in my pocket. and that's probably true. but you know what he doesn't have? he's losing mainstream american jury and mainstream americans. benjamin netanyahu can speak in the u.s. congress. but could he speak on the campus of the university of wisconsin? could he speak at ucla? could he speak

and joining us now tom freedman, pulitzer prize winning column.internal clock told me, this is out of sequence. he's not scheduled to write right now, is he? this isn't his day. tell us why you were moved to do this one. >> lawrence, it was -- it was the holiday, and i picked up the paper like everybody else and saw that robert mueller had indicted 13 russians and several russian organizations for basically intervening in our last election. both to poison our politics and to tilt the election toward donald trump. and i waited to see what the president would have to say about this. and he had nothing to say about it. and that struck me as not only appalling but actually frightening. because up till now donald trump has violated the norms we expect in a president, his tweeting, his lying. his general way he speaks about people, his diminishing of others in different countries. he's violated the norms of the presidency. but when the president of the united states does not react to a clear and present danger he's violating his oath of office. then he

>> tom freedman, how do you see it? >> let's go back to what kushner said, fareed, by moving the embassy to jerusalem and recognizing israel as jerusalem as its capitol, they've taken it off the table. only israelis can take it off the table. let me speak in terms of trump's own language. they claim this was in advance of the peace process. well, you know, if i were trump and actually wanted to use this as an advance of the peace process, what would you actually have done? what would a sane, intelligent, wise president have done if he was insisting on doing this move? he would have come to netanyahu and said, i'm going to recognize jerusalem as your capitol without defining west or east jerusalem, but here's what i'm getting in return. i'm going to get a return on all israeli settlements. you want that? i want this. if this is trump, he could have said, i know you don't like this, but i got you something obama never got. i got a freeze on israeli settlements outside the settlement blocks. that would have been the art of
