he died on friday. his hits were "if i had a hammer", and "turn, turn, turn", "consider this" with antonio mora is coming up next. you can get the latest news online at aljazeera.com. >> president obama calls for a year of action and challenges congress in the state of union. and profootballer hall of famer on new technology to protect kids and pros. keith seeger mourned. hate the trailers at the movies? how that may change. i'm antonio mora. welcome to "consider this". here is more on what is ahead.

>> mr speaker, the president of the united states. >> one of the best investments we can make is high quality education. >> say yes, give america a raise. >> i believe when women succeed, america succeeds. >> it is you, our citizens, who make the state of our union strong. >> the consequences of a blow to the head seem to be worse in children. >> 1.5 billion impacts, 500 million are unnecessary. >> folk musician and political activist keith seeger has died ♪ where have all the flowers gone ♪ we begin with president

obama's state of union address and what he hopes to accomplish in a year of action. he was explicit that he would bypass congress whenever he could, if that's what it takes to enact his fapda. >> whenever or wherever i can take steps without legislation, that's what i'm going to do. i'll act on my own to slash bureaucracy. we can get more construction workers on the job as fast as possible. as congress decides what it is going to do we will pull together collisions and phil an floppists willing to help more kids access the high quality precare they need. i'll try with or without congress to stop tragedies visiting americans in movie theatres, shopping malls or schools like sandy hook.

>> i'm joined by new york daily news bureau chief kim warren, and leslie sanchez and author on his panic voters and women in politics. and michael shoer. i want the general reaction from you all. the president said he would bypass congress, but did the white house oversell how confrontation at they'll be. >> no, but they'll oversell a well-crafted but grocery list of small bore proposals here on some of these matters mentioned on the minimum wage. it pales by comparison to what the congress could do if they are interested in raising the minimum wage. something like early administration to which he is a

late convert. that will not happen magically by bringing together a bunch of philanthropies and local corporations in a lot of our communities. you'll need the muscle of government to try to pull that through if, in fact, you believe in it. are there folks on the republican side - leslie will answer, who were distinctively unhappy. for sure, but they will not break bread with him anyway. you saw a guy in an unusual period, somewhat frustrating, the beginning of a - nearly midway through the second term, and it's an election year. he's not getting anything out of the united states congress, and i think what we saw was well-intentioned venting by him. >> was the speech too safe? >> actually, i think it was a pageantry of words. there were many glorious moments when the president lauded.

a lot of things that everyone grees upon. educating young children. education reform, the democrats have been responsible for every major legislation. it's a lot of hot air because there isn't the political capital to get it done. >> michael, when he told con yeses he -- congress he would take action without them, i understood, but it was bizarre to see congressional leaders telling them that he would do things without them. >> the democrats have been trying to do so many of the things that the president outlined in speech after speech. they have to be judged against context. this is a state of the union speech. it wan only be so good, so many of the things in a state of

union speech can be enacted. as the speeches go, this was successful because what it did do, it was do exactly what you said. it was talk about how he's going to circumvent congress. the democrats who are applauding him are applauding him because they are as frustrated as the president. because they have to work with the congress that is introns gent opposite him. >> the president was optimistic about the country, and he was especiallily so at the start of his speech. >> here are the results of your efforts. the lowest unemployment rate in five years. a rebounding housing market, a manufacturing sector that is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s. more oil produced at home than we buy from the rest of the world. the first time that's happened in nearly 20 years.

[ clapping ] >> our deficits cut by more than half. that optimism has not been reflected in the polls. 28%. country thinks we are headed in the right direction, but 63% think we are on the right track. when asked what words divide the nation, divided, deteriorating - 3% thought the country was strong. the president had to strike an optimistic tone. while the state of union is better than it has been in years, do you think the message was strong enough to get the message through? >> no, he's speaking at a time of tremendous cultural mediation. the state of union no longer has a captive audience. we had three or four channels, and if you wanted to watch "i

love lucy", you'd have to cool your hills. now you can watch a basketball game or a re-run of "iron chef" on the food network, there's a million other possibilities. he's very much afflicted by that. if you look at the academic researchers over the last 10 or 20 years, there's really no strong case one can make that a state of the union or most any speech by the president of the united states has much impact at all in moving opinion, which is something he'll try to do as he continues the ritual of heading out of town for a couple of days, and repeating the themes in places like pennsylvania, and tennessee. >> when he first started mentioning specific things that he wanted to do, he almost sounded like he was a member of

the republican party. talking about cutting business taxes, helping small businesses and entrepreneurs, was there a reaching across the aisle there? >> i think the american public is grounded in reality. the president was focussed on giving a great speech. he didn't talk a lot about obamacare. not a lot. he mentioned it. the alba tros around a lot of middle class families, and the democrats were getting ready to run in 2014. he didn't talk about the specific taxes and mandates that are going in effect that are putting the burden on middle class families, and small businesses. he talked about the unemployment rate going down, but not the 4.2 million no longer looking for work. you can spin numbers you want to make it sound good, but the truth is there is not a strong economic recovery that both parties, republican, democrats,

independence can be excited about. that is what people are waiting to see, tangible things getting the economy and jobs mochg. >> the president pushed for immigration reform last year. he tried tuesday night. >> people come to fulfil their dreams, to study, contribute to our culture. they make our country a fantastic place. let's get immigration reform done this year. >> michael, is that the best chance he has of getting something big done this year? >> i would say immigration reform is one of those things. you come out of the speeches hearing the president. you get excited about gunning last year, that it didn't merit more than a small paragraph. yes, immigration reform is something they can run on. while i agree with jim that you can only do so much with a speech like this, this also is a pep rally, a blueprint for the

2014 elections. these are things that democrats can go out. listen, they are back on their heels. the president helped them out. what he gave them was a clear argument on some issues, and a muddied argument on a couple. energy was if youedied. embracing climate change, and talking about fracking will have liberal environmentists upset. what he's done with give america a raise, i think that turn of phrase will have traction on the campaign trail for people running against a record that is difficult for them right now in some districts. >> that's when he was talking about raising the minimum wage to $10.10. >> the president made a push for equal pay for women, that we shouldn't live in a world where the work environment was, for women, as it was in the show "mad men", he got tremendous applause for that. given the reaction from congles, you'd think this would pass easily. will that go anywhere? >> i think there's a big myth

that has been subsubstantiated when it comes to pay inequality. there's a lot of variables, a lot of strong vibrant women in the workforce earnings much, if not more than men. a lot of this are about the choices to stay home, start the business, apply different things, that doesn't add up. i think what you saw there was the president giving a checklist to michael's point to the democrats, saying, "let me talk about gender issues and things that appeal to latinos and african-americans, pay, minimum wage. let me talk about some of these other issues hoping to get the coalition excited. we look at the issues, regardless of ideology, you want to grouped in reality, that it can do something to improve the economy, not grow the size of government. >> the president offered a unilateral solution helping to save for retirement.

it's called an ira. we were talking about this amongst ourselves. we couldn't figure out what the difference was between buying a savings bond or opening an ira. >> i wasn't sure, there was a fax sheet that the white house put out. it was one paragraph, but it was a little bit unclear, although it was interesting how he tried to balance the business of economic inequality, which is something he had great passion for, with what we now know was lobbying by his own allies that is more than concrete. the notion of income and equality was a little too amorphous for folks. i don't know if you could say it's too cerebral. the "mad men" reference works the column bian law school reading elitist of sorts. i'd like to know what percentage

of the american public watched "mad men." on health care, i counted about nine or 10 paragraphs. that may have been the subject that he spent the most time on during the entire speech. although he did not concede that the website had been a disaster. >> he did mention that. let's listen to him defending obamacare. >> tonight i ask every american who knows someone without health insurance, help them get covered by march 31st. help them get covered. [ applause ] >> mums get on your kids to sign up. kids call your mum and walk her through the application - that'll give her some peace of mind plus she'll appreciate hearing from you. >> michael, he challenged republicans to come up with their own plan. some republican senators came up with a comprehensive plan on

tuesday. will that change the debate on obamacare at all? >> i don't think it will change the debate. what he was efforting to point out, and as an aside, at least the president in referencing "madmen" was a 2014 show. jim referenced "i love lucy", at least he's a forward thinking president, jim. no, i do think when you saw the president talking about that, he was calling out congress for standing in the way of it, voting against it 40 times, but not coming up with, you know, something else - an alternative for the president, for the people to vote on, to look at, that it's an obstruction. the republicans in the senate drew something up. it has not gotten a lot of ex-personal, just in the past week. maybe it will lead to something. what he's trying to illustrate is the republican congress stood in the way over and over and not given an alternative. that's what he was efforting to

do. he did it in a nonchalant way, which helped him. >> the longest applause of the night and an emotional part of the speech came at the end when the president talked about cory remsburg, badly wounded in combat, and he's gone through dozens of operations and procedures. >> cory has grown stronger day by day. he's learnt to speak again and stand again and walk again. and he's working towards the day when he can serve his country again. my recovery has not been easy, he says. nothing in life that's worth anything is easy. cory is here tonight, and like the army he loves, like the america he serves, sergeant first class cory remsburg never

gives up and he does not quit. >> jim, i want to get to another question after this, to respond to this in 30 seconds, if you can. very uplifting note. it was really brought tears to a lot of people's eyes. will that - and the whole speech - bring back the president obama that so many people liked. >> first of all i have to cop to the culturally akronistic references. i think to. my paper, "the daily news", and i rejigered my story to include that. the main point was the demands on maintaining democracy. i thought it was wonderful. will it resonate behind 24-36 hours. >> i suspect not. as one thankfully saw one moment when both sides got up and cheered.

>> we have 20 seconds left. the response, she really didn't say much other than challenge obamacare. >> she did that. she spoke from the heart. a lot of mid western ground - i don't want to say mid western, but american values, the bedrock of the country. there's a lot of responses. it's hard to follow the president in a speech like that. they did a strong job. >> coming up after 12 years of war, how were the military to transition to a peaceful mission. >> the social desk is tracking the following. >> we look at a u.s. town that will get much-needed help from a federal program. let us know what you think. join in the conversation:

>> is the u.s. military suffering through an identity crisis? most americans are weary of war and in november secretary of defence chuck hagel struggled to define the secretary of defense in this post-war era. >> we have many roles. to prime up in a neat little ways, these are the boundaries on when we use military force and don't. i don't believe the world is that simple nor are we drifting in a way where the world gets

simpler. it is becoming more complicated. >> joining us from washington d.c. is kevin barren. he is the executive editor of defense 1, a division of atlantic media focussing on defense and national security. it has a report that takes a look at the state of defense in the army, navy, marine core and air force. good to have you on the show. >> you describe a military that's almost schizophrenic, saying one thing one day and districting itself the next. there are examples, how al qaeda is on the run, and now they hold more territories than ever, how the navy shrunk ship requirements to 300, but you write that most admirals privately say we need 900. what is going on? why is there an identity crisis? >> the beginning at the defense stories say at the end of iraq

and afghanistan, but with shrinking budget cuts. what do we do next. that is facing the pentagon. they are tackling the question, there aren't many answers. you're right. military that is shrinking in size wilfully. the army and marines are waiting for the wars to end and are glad to get to something smaller and manage ability. the mission of how these services are going be used is what i think a lot of the leaders are grappling with. how is the army going to have a role in the pacific? when are the marines going to be called on again. will it be in africa for the next benghazi or a mountain war. what about the air force. there's a lot of questions. >> secretary hagel was not clear in defining what the post-war era will phone for the military, but talked about how the world

was not getting simpler, but getting complicated. how do you see the world playing out? what should the mission focus be? >> chuck hagel has a point to say there's no simple answer. that's what every leader says. this is not the cold war. even china is not necessarily the big bad adversary that a lot of american leaders want it to be to make things clearer. the question is when will the united states be used for the smaller squirmishes or state problems that come up, like a syria, a libya. will there be cruise missiles or will it be, you know, osprey aircraft dropping in special forces or large cargo planes flying in nato forces or french forces to mali or somewhere else. he's right, there's a lot more complication out there. where there's some clarity, i

think, the pentagon has made interesting moves to connect to south-east asian nations in a new way, in a bigger way, to position forces and equipment and ships. little by little, still bit by bit, but they are getting in the ground early. in the middle east it's a different story. there's talk of how to get nato to take over the responsibility, the european country, if they will, or what america's level of involvement will be. there's no appetite for major interventions, but there's a lot more of them at the mid-range level. >> on that note you mentioned benghazi, and a lot was made of the fact that there weren't troops available to go in there and help the mission when it was under attack. there's talk of the military being prepared to help in sochi, if there was a major terrorist

event. can the pentagon be on call to be able to get to the places quickly. is there a willingness for the leaders to have that military. yes, and yes, but to a degree. >> general dempsey, when he became the chairman of the chiefs, he'll never say no and not be in a position to say no. starting with the marine core, the tip of the sphere service. at the same time you have a secretary gates that went far to say, "look, we can't be all things to all people if some of those things we don't do 100%. it's an all or nothing mentality. le lopped off at the sides if he's going to be involved, as little risk as possible. that's the kind of conversation i don't see happening, definitely not at a presidential

level at the state of union level, but it's happening under the services to figure out if we are going to be available for these contingencies, arab springs, what forces do we need, what troops or ships do we need, how much time do we need. the bigger picture of it all, though, cut to two years later is here we are at the beginning of dempsey's second term and justice monk speaking to military officers, he said he thought that now he thought he'd use the rest of his time to spark a conversation about the purpose of the military. this is the chairman of the joint chiefs what wants to hear more were the country. this is the president's senior military advisor. in the report you find that despite the pronouncement of readiness by the branches, there's grumbling behind the

scenes, is there a deficit in our readiness, and where is that? >> it depend who you ask. the ship example, the ship number is something that was tossed about by defense industry and pundits who were watched - do we have a navy that's 300 ships, 230 or 300. it may not seem a lot, but when you build them, it's billions and billions of dollars. at the same time some admirals say if you look on paper to what the united states claims to be in charge of, security that it could provide around the world anywhere, any time, that why they would need three times as many ships. that's not realistic. i don't think any admiral wants that. the point is that the rhetoric and the strategy that the united states will be the world police will not be, but we are, combining it with the budget, how much to spend, where to

spend it, how to train again makes a difference. the deficit for the army is a good point. i heard a conversation about what army do we need to have for asia. do they need to be involved in a war with asia. or north korea. the americans will occupy or counterinsurgency. most likely in any engagement with china it would be a human tarian evacuation, like we saw in inton eeshia. that's the most likely use for the future, not f22s flying against fighters across the way. the pentagon has to figure out how much of each capability it wants, and explain it to the

people - not just the pentagon, the president and civilian leaders. >> you raise a lot of questions especially about the air force, which is worth looking at. kevin barran as always great to have you on the show. >> time to see what is trending on the website. >> earlier this month president obama announced an initiative to fight incoming equality and poverty in five promise zones. >> we'll take resources from some areas and concentrate them, make sure agencies are working more effectively and put in talent to help you plan. >> the town of mantor is a town that will get funding. it's in terrible shape. more than half the residents live below the poverty line, including 96% of kids upped five. the university any of

pennsylvania is a short walk away, a third of adults don't have a high school diploma. 4% have a bachelor's degree. anything and anything we can do to help improve life for people is worth trying. and another: see more at the website aljazeera.com. it's unclear who will benefit from the program and how, but a wrap from the lead agency said they'd been in touch with the federal government and working out the specifics. >> ahead - new technology can track the strength and hits to the heads of football players. could young players benefit from a head-hit count. and peter, paul and mary's peter joins me to reflect on the legacy of the pete seeger.

>> an alarming new study shows

8-year-olds playing football get the same head impacts as 18-year-old. two-thirds of brain injuries are suffered by teenage athletes. help may be on the way at the concussion summit in new york, new technology has been announced, in new jersey. >> chris is a former player and professional wrestler who suffered severe concussion, he's a co-director for the study of drama head injuries, mike hayne is a profootball hall of famers, winning a super bowl ring with the raiders, played defensive back with the new england patriots and los angeles raiders. good to have you both here. an important topic. the new research from canada's youth sports organization brings up how many eight-year-olds are having significant head impacts. tremendous significance to this. >> no question.

it validates other researches at virgin tech. we think it looks like a pillow fight with football players playing. but the reality is trauma that the brain is feeling is the same as you see on college football fields. >> i saw some saying 250,000 kids under the age of 19 went to emergency rooms for concussions. you didn't have concussions playing football until you hit college, that i was aware of. >> you had a serious one then. >> right. >> and you had no idea what happened to you. >> no, i hadn't been educated on what a concussion was. my mum did not want me to play for fear i would be injured. as soon as i got to the point where i couldn't tell you my name or room-mate, i thought i was going to be like that for the rest of my life. education today, that would never happen. guys know their cognition will come back, but it's important to

get the player off the field. i ask to go back. the coach said, "sure." i am sure today the coaches would say, "you're done for the day." >> is that why you are involved? >> i have two young boys, one quarterback, one running back. they love football. i want to make sure the game is safe and that education is the yet. it's the only way to go. >> another secret that may be solved is the new technology that may help to be more aware with the kids' games, it's a senn sore attached to a helmet. >> sli started an nibive called the hit count program. there are multiple companies with technology that can record

impact. hit count added a pitch count for the brain. once it exceeds a threshold and 20 gs, which is like a hard slap, is where you see brain stress. when you get over 20 gs you count. >> every hit of 20 gs are more is counted. >> right. >> there's be a tally kept by the sensors. >> every day, throughout the season. a study a 9-year-old found is there are an average hit of 150 or 60 because they limited the hit in practice. everyone could be at 60. >> that's the issue, you had to worry about it as someone who coaches kids' teams, have you to worry about it. it accumulates from practice to games. >> and you want to teach them to tackle properly.

and the only way to do that is go through it. there's a lot of drills with no hitting going on, for me there's so many young kids that love to play, i think that we need to change, start a developmental tackle football, where they don't play games until be learn to tackle properly. i don't think a kid can put on a uniform and become a good, efficient tackler. that's my concern, so that is something we could talk about another time. >> is there research to figure out how many hits are too many. >> that's the idea of the program. we wish we could come out and say 200 you should stop for a year. the data is not there. by creating the headcount system, we hope to tell people how risky it is when you get to the high numbers. numbers can get high, and you are not paying attention. >> the censor can sound the alarm if you get a bad hit.

>> so hard to spot concussions. you need the player to come forward, and they are not. we don't know if we can teach on 8-year-old to understand to realise if their head is spinning, that they should tell the coach on the sideline. this is it a way to pull kids out and check them using the sideline test. >> it must be difficult to figure out what the right time is. >> will it make a difference. >> i have not had one kid come to me on the sideline and say, "coach, i have a concussion." it's someone on the side who saw the hit and says, "hey, can you check my son." >> how much will it cost, how soon will it be implemented. >> censors are between $50 and

$150. you don't know which censors are accurate. the first certified sense is g-force tracker. it works well, goes in a helmet. there'll be multiple companies coming out. parents look for hit count, certified censors. >> how soon. >> they are available now. you can put them on the spring football now. >> i know we are looking at putting them on helmets for hockey and lacrosse. girls' soccer is the second worst sport when it comes to all this. is there anything we can do there? >> some of the companies will focus on soccer. headband in a mouth piece. >> in soccer you can't put a helmet on because of the headers. you can put a headband and that will do it. >> just a head band with a sensor. >> what would you tell parents whose kids want to play

football. >> you have seen many friends that suffer bad circumstances, and former players are suffering. >> i tell them to get educated. as a parent, you can't say okay, i'm putting you out there, play soccer. they have to get educated and understand what the symptoms of a concussion are. they have to know what kind of things or protocols are in place if a concussion occurs. what will they do. and i think that just a parent caring enough to get involved that way will help programs like this make sense. people are going to get concussions. but when you get one, you have to get them off the field and you study to find out when does it become dangerous. >> the more education we get from devices and technology, and the better we can instruct people, which is a tough thing as well. getting great instruction in our

sport recollects how to tackle, taking the head out of tackling. the more we do it effectively, the better for all of us. >> good to have technology that sounds the alarm. great to have you guys here. it's an important topic. >> straight ahead - while you'll see less of coming attractions at the movie theatre. the bottle over movie trailers is next in the data drive. the music world mourns a pioneer, pete seeger. peter yarrow of peter, paul and mary joins us next.

>> today's data dive goes to the movie, guidelines have been issued to standardize film marketing. trailers can only be shown five months before release. the biggest change is limiting the coming attractions to only 2 minutes. as you probably notice, trailers have gotten very long. some films start nearly a half hour late thanks to the previews. we know trailers are called that because the reels were spliced on to the movie's trial as a trailer before movies went digital. how did it start? the first trailer is widely believed to have come in 1913, before the film the adventures of caplin. it wasn't for a movie, but prefeud a show called "the pleasure seekers", a short film made up of performance footage. sound came 13 years later when the future head of what became the motion picture association boasted about the sound system

for "don juan", and "the jazz singer" changed attractions as an announcer opened with "good evening, ladies and gentlemen", that was followed by title cards like these for "tarsan the aprilman", or "gone with the wind", which trumpeted the stars of the film in a new way." then came naration. >> sweeping across the country... . >> "grapes of wrath" was the first to use the device. some complain the trailers give away too much. orson wells briefly showed clips. >> alfred hitchcock gave a tour of the set. "independence day" was the first trailer on a super bowl

broadcast. you can bet film ads during this year's campaign cost a lot more. >> mourning a loss in music with the passing of pete seeger. peter yarrow of peter, paul and mary fame will join us next.

>> the world has lost a true legend, pete seeger has died at the age of 94. one of our greatest folk musicians, he helped to spark a revival of this unique art form ♪ where have all the flowers gone ♪ ♪ long time passing ♪ where have all the flowers gone ♪ ♪ long time ago >> pete seeger's songs including "where have all the flowers gone" were used as anthem for the civil rights, antiwar and

labour movements. during the red square of the "50s he defied the health and american activities committee, was held in congress and sentenced to gaol. it was overturped. he returned to washington to perform "this land is your land", with bruce spring teen. we are joined by peter yarrow, who sang many of peter's songs with his group peter, paul and mairie. >> my condolences, i know you were close to pete seeger. you were with him yesterday. >> i was in the hospital. i went from the airplane, he was surrounded by his family and friend. his son said, "bring a guitar, pete wants to be surrounded my music." i knew i would be told that he only had a couple of days. i went there and i sang...

♪ back together ♪ we shall not be moved ♪ black and white together ♪ we shall not be moved ♪ it's like a tree ♪ that's standing by the water ♪ we shall not be moved and, you know, it was an old uni union song. we sang it gently. and we all sang. he was trying to sing along, you know. he was - his eyes were closed, but he was there and he was feeling it. and i sang, you know ♪ where have all peter-paul and mary records and "if i had a hammer."

>> let's listen to some of "if i had a hammer" [ ♪ music ] >> you made that into a hit. one of his greatest. greatest songs he has written. what made him a wonderful folk song writer and singer. >> he totally lived his ethic. you take the songs that have made millions and millions of dollars. he only took a little bit to live simply, in the house that he built. he chopped his own roof. his wife, who died earlier this year, was certainly the ying to his yang. she did so much

>> they were married nearly 70 years. >> and pete based the way by using his music to create community, and the kind of heart spirit that really became the sound track of activism in the 1950s and '70s, the spirit of it really, really was different from pop music. people who sapping this music were expected to be there and put their lives, their hearts, their time n o the line for the things that they believed with. mary passed away four years ago used to call us seeiger's

raiders. >> you were out there singing his songs. and one of his greatest contributions ♪ we shall overcome ♪ we shall overcome ♪ some day >> he didn't write that, but the version he sang is the one that became the civil rights movement anthem. martin luther king heard it from him for the first time. how did he see his role in the civil rights movement. >> i don't think pete seeger really engaged his effect. he lived it and put one foot in front of another, but he knew that - that so many people had

been inspired by his work. nerp getting the feedback because he had confidence in the person to person, the reality. when he was underindictment by the house on american activities, and the weavers were broken up and what could have been an enormous -- >> the weavers being his first folk group, and peter, paul and mary - we emulated them lovingly and consciously in terms of how they took the music and turned it into a hard place to unite people to make the world a better place. when that coop was forbidden to play on any television or they wouldn't play the records, he went to the summer camps, and the ironic thing is that hundreds and hundreds of budding

folk singers came out of that and proliverated - i mean, i have - i lived 75 years in this country and i have never seen an outpouring like this in my life. i mean, sure, i am sure that when fdr - when roosevelt died, but i've never seen such -- >> it really inspired so many people. so many people just - i mean, i can't tell you how many hundreds of people have been calling all day to, you know, say - condolences and, you know, we are carrying on, and it's a celebration, because what pete has done is really, really create a huge body of work and a
