our special guest this hour is tom friedman foreign affairs columnist at "new york times". tom we've covered a lot of different topics all related back to these terrorist attacks. maybe we should talk more what this means for the eu once again because we're looking at a potential brexit. that vote coming up very soon. >> i go back to what i was saying earlier americans don't mesh how much eu amplifies our power around the world. whether it's imposing sanctions on putin. they can be weak sanctions but sanctions are important. or whether it's funding the ukrainians or other democracy groups around the region. if temp u starts to splinter and fracture and can basically no longer be our wing man in the world that has strategic enormous implications for the united states and we haven't been talking about that. >> eu is less than a perfect union. don't have a centralized government, centralized fiscal authority and that was proven back in 2008 with the financial crisis. we saw the way the union was rocked at that point. the immigration coming in from syria, these terrorist attacks

tom friedman, welcome back to the program. >> great to be with you. >> woodruff: you wrote a programlatley 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. f.a.a. ordered for one day all american flights canceled. that was a message to all israelis. imagin

tom friedman. >> it is driven by doctor prescribing. but because doctor prescribing drove this, doctor prescribing can also help stop it. >> reporter: the cdc recommendations include patients and doctors should kid pain management that doesn't include opioids, physical therapy, exercise and medications like ibuprofen. before prescribing opio ds. outline addiction, and they >> a lot of people who get into problems with opiates, start with acute pain. for most episodes. three days will be enough. it is very rare that more than seven days will be needed. >> the cdc hopes clinicians will check an online database to see if the patient has been going to doctors to get the drugs. >> they scan be a gateway to heroin as well. jon, thank you very much. >> in a moment, what the chinese say about trump. >>> donald trump never passes up a chance to mention china. as recently as six months ago, seth doan found that few chinese had ever heard of him. they know him now and have plenty of opinions. a racist and compares him to hitler. here is seth in be

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

eyesight tom friedman, director of the centers for disease control this is overdose deaths, heroin and prescription pills are taking more lives than car wrecks in the country. he calls it a national epidemic. and yet we hear from the administration, well, let's cut back on time to fight it. well, don't be surprised if things are different when we get through with your budget in that regard. we lose 100 americans every day to addiction and abuse, and yet you have a proposed to reduce our first line of defense against the entry of these dangerous, deadly drugs without the benefit of any supporting analysis that border patrol's mission will not be compromised. as i mentioned you've been in my district. you've seen firsthand how these drugs are destroying rural communities in appalachia and, of course, you can all of the country and you see the same. while you and i agree that reducing demand through treatment and education is critical, we mustn't lose sight of the fact that enforcement remains a critical prong of our holistic strategy on this gorge. the stakes are high and we must do ever

i say this, tom friedman was on last week. he believes, ahead of our u.s.inks that the terrorists or isis, if you will, would love to attack us here in part to impact the election. >> sure. i mean, look, i go back to -- i remember being in the white house in 2004 when bin laden issued the tape threatening the united states and threatening those who would vote for the re-election of president bush. these guys are not unsophisticated. when understand the allure and press you get making a threat around the election. the question is do they have the capability. they've seen the flow of foreign fighters. there is about 5,000 in western europe. they say there are only a couple hundred in the united states. you don't need a couple hundred to launch a pretty serious attack. i think that's the focus of homeland security right now. >> how good or barrd is our borr control, given the likes of donald trump who thinks we should shut certain portions of it down. >> it's improved over time. is it perfect, no. we still have the problem of illegal immigration on the southwe

american relationship that exists, and i think that again is one of the great things about this tom friedmancolumn was he said the israelis don't want to leave. they have been supported in the west bank. they have been supported by american jewish and they want an unending civil war with greater and greater isolation in israel and the world state, all true and this is then true for the last five, eight years at least and it now that times columnist and the secretary of state or the people who are bringing this information. so with the time i have left and i think by the way there's something very cool about maintaining the two-state solution because it's saying that oh these horrible conditions, they are just temporary. people are 5 million people under some form of apartheid or ghettoization in gaza, in prison. we are going to take care of that sin and so it's barbaric hating about a tremendous human rights atrocity. if you think about the great jewish rabbi, this is a situation which demands if not now when and the position of the times is kind of whenever and the position of the illusion
