Palestine refugees going on for 70 years, after world war ii, tens of millions of refugees row settle in a few years and after india and pakistan broke up, what the camps do is provide sources of terrorism, teaching young palestinians theyre going back to israel. That thing should be shut down. David bruce, its not like were stingy in what we give the u. N. We give the United Nations 22 of just their ga budget, General Assembly budget. 22 . The next, the number two country is only 9 , thats japan and then goes down from there. So, shouldnt we get a little more bang for our buck . Well, listen, the way i look at this, i sort of to get a full picture i view it sort of like a donald trump tax return. Id like to see the whole budget before i make a judgment, but when you consider were spending about a billion or so dollars on the United Nations, and were spending 800 billion, were going to have a huge budget for defense, this is a drop in the bucket and when you talk about the trump riling up our allies and so forth, we might end up having to spend more, its not that much to spend. David john, the fact is wed all like to look at the u. N. Budget. Part of the problem, its such a corrupt agency. There are so many different channels in which the money can go, nobody has a clear idea of how much. Clauda rosette, the smartest person in the u. N. I know of, says the total funding is 49 billion and look where some of the money goes to some of the scandals. We can put those up here. We have the oil for food scandal, the sex abuse scandal, involving the u. N. , peacekeepers were involved in sexual abuse of some of the people they were supposed to product, cronyism at unesco, cash for kim in north korea. Scandal after scandal after scandal. I think whats most scandalous about this is the basic truth that the u. N. Is most famous for being an organization that routinely trash talks the United States. And so, why on earth would the u. S. Be the number one funder of that which routinely brings it down . Lets talk about as well, bill, what nikki haley said, what shes trying to do. The efficiency and overspending of the u. N. Is wellknown. We will no longer let the generosity of the American People be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. Isnt that a fair comment . I dont totally agree with the ambassador. I dont think the u. N. Should be chopped to pieces. Its true theres a lot of buffoonery there, a huge amounts of money wasted, but still, this is our last best chance to sit down with enemy before resorting to work there. David and even some democrats are for what our new ambassador to the u. N. Is doing and one of nos is alan dershowics. Its about time we sent a message to the u. N. , which has become a place of hate when it comes to the United States and israel. David so its not only republicans. Some democrats are for this as well, patrice. I think he was absolutely right. I mean, when you see stations that come together, particularly islamic nations who dont contribute their fair share, but use this opportunity as a platform to denigrate israel and come against the United States. Im pleased you brought up some other scandals at the u. N. When we consider in 2010, u. N. Peacekeepers dumped sewage in haiti and led to the death of thousands of haitians. We need better fiscal responsibility out of the United Nations and know our tax dollars are really wellspent. David steve, we mention democrats. There was a famous democrat no longer with us, Daniel Patrick moynihan, senator of new york, before that the u. N. Ambassador for the u. S. , and here is a cover of Time Magazine giving them hell at the u. N. Thats a democrat. It started back then. Yes, because the u. N. Had gone totally off the rails then, being an antiisrael platform, calling it imperialist state and condemning it just as they did on the jerusalem move, but these two moves, david, moving the capital to jerusalem and telling the u. N. , theres a new day at hand, is the only way youre going to get peace in the middle east and the rest of the world when they know were serious. Were not going to play any more pretend games and finance corruption because we think it breeds peace. It breeds cynicism and waste. David weve talked about it, every time the u. N. Says theyll clean up their act they never do. They had an audit commitment from 2006 to 2008, it was disbanded because there was too much corruption. Something has to be done at the u. N. , no . Listen, there are ways to spend smarter and spend better, but if were truly going to be promoting peace around the world or if were going to have a body, i agree with bill in the sense that the United Nations is probably the one place anymore where we can meet with our allies and others and discuss matters to promote piece around the world. David but, john, its a nest of corruption. Its a regular bureaucracy is bad enough, but an International Bureaucracy means that nobody is in charge, that you cant affix accountability to anybody and thats why they get away with stuff there. Well, and i think almost forget about the corruption and lets talk about the basic truth that countries that trade together do not war with one another and thats where im sympathetic to bruce, cut defending spending, too. But you dont need a u. N. If bore terse borders to goods and services are free, and they dont need a route to free peace. Bill. Patrice is right we need to see a lot more accountability. In the 21st century well need more, not less, more cooperation to prevent war and viral epidemics. David cooperation is one thing, but when you give money, so much money as we do to the United Nations, as the u. S. Does to the United Nations and they essentially spit on you after youve given that money, where we supposed to sit there and take it, patrice . No, i dont think we should. This is more than just what is spent on vaccinations and peacekeeping. Were talking about lavish life styles of people who live in new york and take advantage of it. Thats a good point. I see the point of different panelists who say we want trade, we want peacekeeping and countries to work together, but this forum hasnt proven to be, you know, the effective forum for making that happen. Yeah. Youve got dictators who are not allowing people to eat in their countries coming to the United Nations telling us what we should be doing as a country and nation, which is the most generous nation, by the way. David absolutely. Patrice, thank you very much. Coming up next, we havent seen a winter this bad in a while, but be careful about googling your way to warmer weather. You may be googling your way to a vacation that costs a lot more than it should. Weve got details you cant afford to miss coming up. A lot more news at the top of the hour, now back to forbes on f fox. David so just as youre booking a trip on google to get away from the horrible winter, a new report coming out saying that google is using its search dominance to steer consumers to deals that look cheaper, but arent. A wall street editorial says this about googles practices, restricting competition means many consumers wont see or receive the lowest price deals. So, steve, is google taking advantage of its dominance . The answer is yes, david, but there are plenty of alternatives, youve got priceline and bing, and there will be new sites, and very easy to establish a website putting out the best deals. Network saying what did you find at this place that others should know about so let the free market work. We dont need government involved in this. David bruce, 60 of folks out there, once theyre planning a trip, they immediately go to google and put in, you know, the place theyre going to and hotel or whatever, and it turns out a lot of those people are getting ripped off. Yeah, its something that clearly could be looked into. I mean, and if they are if they truly are stifling competition just like any other business, then the government or somebody should look into it and if they are doing things that people dont know about, and dont want them to, they go to the sites for discounts, then it could be a problem. David now, john, i know youre not in favor of the government getting involved one way or the other in this debate, but here is what the wall street journal article ends with. They say regulators may soon ask if the search giant is abusing its market power. So theyre saying if google doesnt clean up its act, you know how politicians are, theyre going to want to get in there and do it themselves. Its fine and interesting to think that regulators who couldnt get a job at google or any other Prominent Organization would presume to regulate it. This is a nonstory. The internet by its name has access to all sorts of travel options. The notion that one portal could dominate it to our detriment. Lets move on from this. David patrice, john makes an excellent point. Weve turned to regulations on technology. If they were that good they wouldnt be working for 6 of 60,000 for the government, theyd work at google for a million. Theyre trying to innovate and the intermediary companies, theyve seen their Competitive Edge evaporate and now theyre crying foul, but this is a market at place and we as consumers, we benefit. David im going to try to take the point of view of some the regulators, bill, and the fact is that google does have this extraordinary power over the internet because 60 of the people go to use it at least for their travel searches. Shouldnt there be some attempt or at least a spotlight on exactly what theyre doing to try to make more money and rip off some consumers . David, your theory is that google is engaging in unfair competition by having too many eyeballs and i want to tell you, david, this is a totally european way of looking at the economy. David it is. Theyre trying to put fines on American Tech Companies for the crime of being too successful. Remember, im playing the devils advocate here, and to extend that further. They say, look, theres got to be some way, if you dont disband google and i dont think that anybody is calling for that, theres got to be some way to at least highlight, at least put the spotlight on what they are doing by trying to keep out the competition. Well, thats what were doing here. Getting the word out. And with the internet, the word gets out instantly these days and people respond to the opportunities. And google, for example, facebook, discriminate against those, and alternatives are beginning to crop up. Let free markets work. Theyre freeways for advantage and opportunity. Bruce, there are some people that are going to look at editorial in the wall street journal and say this is an opportunity, this isnt an excuse to regulate people. This is an opportunity to start something to compete with google. Youre scaring me waving that wall street journal in my face, david. I would say, listen, people should shop around. If theyre worried that google is screwing them over and getting a better deal, they should not go to just one site. That would be my advice. But its certainly something that should be kept a close eye on. John, arent you at least in favor of exposing this. Giving this some sunlight to disinfect the problem . I want sunlight because i want to cheer on google. The fact that theyve got 60 market share, people go there first, is a sign theyre fulfilling a massively unmet market need. Why get into business other than to pursue monopoly profits. If you succeed, you fulfill the need and you have set yourself up for competition in free marketplace. David i love it when johns head is about to explode. Its a good place to end up with. The cashin in gang getting ready to roll. Lauren, what have you got . David, President Trumps triumphs and accomplishments in 2017 and what he needs to do in 2018 to boost the economy. Plus, did china just get busted selling oil to north korea . Ill see you at 11 30. David thanks, we will be watching. Up here first, this is the last weekend to make a donation to your Favorite Charity and get a deduction for 2017. A nba coach Greg Popovich, if youre rich you should be getting more than you are. Do americans really need to b can San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich suggesting wealthy americans should be spending more and charity than they do. Because were rich as hell, ap other people dont it, pretty simple. This is the last weekend you can make a 2017 contribution for a deduction, should we take popovich to heart and give more . Only as much as we think that americans are charitable and give to whatever cause they believe in. Hes wrong to try to guilt trip people into charitable giving. I mean, its from a mentality that says, you know, you earned it, but you earned it at the expense of someone else, when in fact, people who are wealthy, theyre job creators, people who taken the risk and the market has rewarded them. Its imperative to give, but americans are givers that eclipse everybody else. 1. 4 of our gdp to charities. The next closest country that does that, is candy. 77 . So, we are big givers already, bill. We are too stringingy and i guilty of that as well. And in lieu of gift giving, weve allowed the kids to give to charities and opened our eyes. David but, again, steve, we give billions away to charity. In the last 60 years,er per capita, giving has given away. And were the most philanthropic nation ever invented and meeting the needs and wants of other people. We create resources and give away resources to those who need it. David guess who is giving it away, the people you love, the top 1 . A third of all contributions to charity are given by that evil top 1 . As they should, and now maybe theyll be able to have more money to give more, given the massive tax cut. Greg popovich comes from an interesting perspective. A veteran of the air force, a person of service, so i dont think he should be criticized because i think thats his message. There are other ways to give, time, talent and treasure and this is the season of giving and hopefully people are doing that. David and also, we should mention, by the way, it was the media that really put on that guilt trip, that he was guilt tripping people. It wasnt necessarily from his statement. It might have been the media spin on what he said. John, what do you think, have americans given up . I think that popovich should stick to basketball, he knows endless amount. The path to getting rich is the biggest contribution to society. Why do you think we think that people who has business knows about charity. And bill, what do you think . I think theres some theory, if people get more prosperous, they certainly will be more generous and this is a good century for generosity. David its true when you create things and build things, youre usually helping other people in terms of giving them jobs and pay raises and stuff, but its also true that the more money you like, the more people, at least americans, do give it away. It doesnt necessarily happen in other countries, but it happens here. Thats right. When you look at why. Theres a strong sense of commitment to your community, in wanting to do better because you think that individuals are more effective at intractable solutions than the government, but then theres also the religious aspect. When you look at the number of people who give in the United States, a good number are giving to religious organizations, Something Like 39 , theres the american spirit tied to religious community and also to community. David and john tamny pointed out in a column he wrote. If you look at forbes 400, lets go back 20 years you wont see many of the same companies on the list today. Its always changing so americans realize there is real opportunity and they want to spread that opportunity because theyre proud of it and thankful for it. The turnover is amazing. This is a dynamic society. And Warren Buffett knew he wasnt a Charity Expert so he turned to bill gates. And go to resources and people who give better. David it feels good to give.

And we are back with stocks for the new year, john, samsung, a stock from overseas. Why do you like it . I like it because i thought the north korean threat globally was overstated and i think in 2018 thats going to be priced in, with that we are going to see a major global brand like samsung really rise up. David interesting. By the way, i love your top hat. I dont know if you saw the picture. What do you think, bill of the pick. Samsung is a good company, but litigation over the illfated galaxy 7. David i remember that. I dont think they put out all the fires legally. David youre betting on gold, why . I think that gold has got to do better than bitcoin. Maybe time for something that has reality to it. David to emphasize, this is a gold share bet. What do you think about gold, john . Just kind much sits there. Its a good edge had right now. President gets the dollar they want, the president made clear he wants a weaker dollar, this would be a good way to hedge that. David i want to ask you about the stock market in general, 2018. Whats your bet . Spectacular run in 2017. What about this next year . If you promise me that President Trump and congress will play golf every day in 2018 i promise you a major rally. He loves it when they get nothing gone at all. What do you think, bill, 2018 for stocks . Im bullish on the economy and skeptical about the way overpriced stock market. Okay, there you go.
