media buzz@fox news.com. ask a media question and i'll try to sponzrespond. we are back next sunday 11:00 and 5:00 eastern. be with us then for the latest terror raids and arrests in brussels. aid a very -- and a very real imminent threat of attack, maybe one or more. sending one of the great cities into lockdown. i'm harris faulkner and this is the fox report. a news conference after today's raids. it just rap -- wrapped up. at least 22 now, the number has bumped up today. as many as 16 people arrested. belgium, usually a city popping with tourists and now today representing a war zone. military vehicles in the streets and out in force and people hunkering down and told to stay away from windows. schools an mass transit all stay close the as belgium is on the

highest terror alert over what officials are warning is a possible paris-style attack. here is the belgium prime minister from earlier. >> we are fearing similar attacks to that which took place in paris involving several individuals who might launch an attack on several locations at the same time. we have information that leads us to believe the potential targets are places that are frequently. we are thinking of commercial centers or streets or another example might be the public transport system. >> brussels is a city roughly about a million people. it is the home of nato. and the european union. it is also where the paris attacks, we're told, were plotted. the belgium people understandably on edge. and really everybody watching this. but one man put it best in an interview. saying he was not scared. and that as belgium, if they could survive the 1940, they could surely get through this.

let's bring in mike baker, formers officer with the cia. mike, as you are watching this unfold, i'm curious to get your thoughts on what this federal prosecutor said. they did not get abdeslam in connection with the paris attacks but they got a whole lot of other people. so intelligence-wise, what does that tell you? >> well, you know, i again, i think we have to keep abdeslam in perspective. he wasn't a mastermind. he is not a lex luthor. it would have been nice to pick him up. this could provide additional context into the atrocities in paris. but there is more to the raid. they are not just in bressels. they are in other places, antwerp and in several suburbs. a big effort to wrap up a number of what they would consider to be support cells, individuals

who, frankly, some have been monitoring for a period of time and others who came on to the radar screen as a result of what happened in paris. >> you know, is this an era -- area, when you were covert, that would have been closely watched, shared intelligence vieh you ours and theirs. i'm asking, because i know if we might be helping on the ground or if it is necessary. how ready are they? >> we're definitely helping on the ground. but part of this is a straight-up law enforcement effort. the police agencies involved. and that is our multi-jurisdictional effort. but brussels, and belgium in general, have been on the radar screen for quite sometime. my company had an office there for a number of years. and you talk about areas like molenbeck and the others inside of brussels and they are -- you hear this term, it is a bit of

an exaggeration -- no-go zone. but there are areas that the services have known for years are a hotbed for extremism. and when people hear brussels, they think how did that happen. but for the counter-terrorism services and for the police, this is absolutely nothing new. >> well, and i'm wondering, it is the home of nato. >> right. >> and people look at this and say how is it possible, so please tell us how it is possible that you could have this kind of element among the people. because if i look at it, you had 500, according to our reporter, 500 belgiums going away from their home country to get trained as terrorists, as savages and come home. 130 of them returning. how could a place that is home to nato, the european union, with obviously so much capability in terms of security, how does that happen? >> well, this is the open

borders. and multi-cultural policies of the e.u. countries coming back to bite them in the backside. this has been building for a long time. and they've prided themselves over the years in the idea that, no, everybody is welcome. everybody come here. and you celebrate your own culture. you don't have to assimilate. here in the states, not to overblow it, here in the states, people tend to think of themselves as americans first. they immigrate here and become american whatever. but it is always that sense of joining the u.s. and over in europe, that hasn't been the case. and in fact, the policies have been, for quite sometime, to sort of celebrate the individuality. that combined with the open borders is -- and the -- the larges of the government in terms of the welfare state, that created this hornet's nest. >> before i let you go, what happens next?

you say that abdeslam was not the ringleader, as you say. but obviously they want to catch as many suspects with regard to what happened in paris as they possibly can. but they have not released this country that we know of yet off of the alert four. what does that mean to you? >> well they'll step it down. you know, you can't hold the population, you can't hold the infrastructure in a lockdown mode, as you say, indefinitely. it just doesn't work. it can't happen. so they'll start loosening the grip. this was designed to minimize civilian casualties in part, in the event that something violent happens during the course of the raids. it was also based on specific intelligence about particular threats that were coming down the pike. so they had a real reason to do this. but they'll be loosening the reins here shortly. and again, we made a lot of -- of abdeslam and the others that came out of the paris attacks,

talking about how important they were. and you know what it is, none of these guys are lex luthor but they have the motivation and the resource now. and that is all it takes, sometimes. >> well what we learned from paris, they don't really take hostages. they kill everybody they come in contact with. so they are all potentially bad. mike baker, we appreciate your time. you were a counter-terrorism specialist for many years covertly with the cia. you are an expert in your field. we appreciate it. >> thank you, harris. to fox team coverage now. brian is standing by with more on potential security threats here at home in the united states. first, let's go back to benjamin hall following the latest in belgium. a lot of news breaking in the past 30 minutes. break it down for us, please, benjamin. >> reporter: well, there we are, again these 19 raids, which have been going on over the last few hours. we saw helicopters overhead and saw sirens and the massive security here. going to the friends of salah in

molenbeck. they said some had radical i'dology. and the terror level at four. thousands on the street, schools and transport systems have been closed up. and there is still the serious and imminent threat until they take the level four down again. the government had been warning of an attack like that of paris, with many gunman in many locations. that doesn't appear to have happened tonight. but a city on edge. but the threat was not just connected to the paris attacker at large, abdeslam but others too and there may be another possible isis cell in city. we don't know if that was breaken today. but the questions about brussels and what that means for the country at large, for europe and paris. >> benjamin hall, we appreciate your time. let's talk about what is hatching here at -- happening here at home.

we have fox team coverage. let's go to brian with more on that. >> that is exactly right. good evening to you. today, imagine, two active shooters attacking a new york city subway station. there are 30 victims, passengers critically wounded. it is a nightmare scenario and one that could play out in any city. this morning the new york city led two anti-terror exercises. the multi-agency training taking place in an abandoned subway station. counter-terrorism forces responding within minutes as terrorists gun down civilians with a train at the station. >> these exercises are vitally necessary, particularly in light of all that is going on in the world at this particular point in time. in new york city, we are, at this time, very well-prepared and continually improving our preparedness. >> now in the training drill, uniform transit officers first move in to take down the sheerts until tactical counter-terrorism, the gig buns, arrive on scene. they protect paramedics and firefighters as they move about

the subway station to treat the wounds and evacuate civilians as quickly as possible. now during training, nypd officers wore go pro cameras and caught every sangle to be shared with law enforcement around the country. and who better to learn from than the nypd. there has not been a successful terrorist attack in this city since 9/11. that is 14 years, harris. >> brian, to what extent was today's drill connected to the paris and which in the last 30 minutes unfolded in belgium. >> they made it clear, today's drill was plan aned a year ago. but in one of the scenario, someone was varing a suicide vest. the paris terrorists wear explosives while murdering 130 people. jeh johnson is worried about copycats. and johnson said there is no

specific credible threat to the u.s. and americans should go about their normal holiday travel plans and go to the macy's thanksgiving day parade. but be vigilant. if you see something, say something. >> before i let you go. i know this is a show. and people are on edge. we have the holidays coming up. what with people being told? i mean, we have actually -- law enforcement authorities giving not speeching, but they were commenting to the media, from the drill going on, which had people a little bit confused. >> that is right. this had nothing to do with the recent paris attacks but there is a time of heightened sense of urgency. of terrorist threat, especially here in new york city. and they are telling people to go about your daily lives. the mayor and the de blasio and the police commissioner, they have put themselves out there and force on the streets, the

hercules tactical teams, making a showing they are prepared, while there is no credible threat, go about your day. and you've seen that here, walking the streets and in the subways. peoples are going about their day. and that is what they are asking people to do. but they are being vigilant. if you hear something, say something. they are serious about that. the way to stop the soft attacks, what they call in the cafes and the train stations, to be vigilant. >> brian, thank you. as you just heard brian saying, homeland security secretary jeh johnson said there is no credible threat to the united states. brand new polling shows terrorism is on the top of the list as the issue for voters they are concentrating. it was behind the economy as recently as august. the savages that claimed responsibility for the paris attacks and now threatening more in either capitals. >> that raises another big question. how tough of a stand will president obama, our

commander-in-chief, make to stop this army of radical thugs. the president on his way back to the white house this hour from the asian summit in malaysia, offering up this vision for the future of isis. watch. >> we will take back land that they are currently in. we will cut off their financing. we will hunt down their leadership. we will dismantle their networks and their supply lines and we will ultimately destroy them. we'll continue to monitor breaking news in brussels an that part of the world. in europe, anti-terror raids, in the city there and watching out for news out of the manhunt. but to other news. today's political headlines ahead, and the presidential polls ahead. the republican candidates leading the pack and who is in the best position to beat democrat front-runner hillary clinton. watch for it.

fox news, is america's election headquarters. and new breaking down the 2016 race. and a lot to get to. first up, trustworthiness, ben carson has faced questions about his biography. but he is still leading in that category with more than half of the responders considering the doctor to be honest and trustworthy. marco rubio with the second highest figure in that category. and a quick look at the rest of the field. 38% of voters in the polls said the very same thing about hillary clinton. we have a lot more on these polls, including american's take on the refugee crisis. garrett will have that. but up now, kristin fish we are a look at the front-runners, up down, how are they doing, kristin? >> here are the candidates that are going to like this, are marco rubio, ted cruz and donald trump. he is over ben carson. he is down five points and cruz and rubio are tied for third,

and bush in fourth and the others at 3%, followed by kasich and paul at 2%. but the reason rubio's campaign is going to like this, because it shows him beating hillary clinton by a widen margin out of all of the candidates, 50-42. listen to how he characterized his rise in the polls on fox news sunday. >> on the polls, you want good news, not bad news. but we've never gotten too surprised or depressed about them. they are going to fluctuate between now and election day until voters make until the last week or last day often times to make their decision. >> and this is the first poll showing him beating hillary clinton in the match-ups. >> and let's flip over to the democrats. >> no surprise. that race hasn't changed all that much, according to the new fox news poll. clinton holds a huge lead over bernie sanders. 55% to 32%.

and that is why today on one of the other sunday shows he had this to say about the clinton latest foreign policy speech. >> it was everything but the kitchen sink and peppered with the old thinking, old state department thinking when it comes to this. we need a foreign policy that talks about a greater human intelligence but actually delivers it. >> so we have about two more full days of campaigning before most of the candidates take a much-needed thanksgiving break. there is still ten weeks to go until the iowa caucus. >> harris. >> thank you very much. you can read more at the news poll. and i'm going to ask about donald trump widening the lead and we'll watch for that at the bottom of the hour. more on the breaking news. arrests in belgium as officials look for a suspect, at least one that we know of, in the horrive is paris attacks. all of the day's news as it

breaks. and the crisis overseas fuelling debate over refugees entering the united states. you've heard the 2016 candidates weighing? >> the fact is we should have these folks vetted and vetted well. the fbi director said they cannot be vetting. this is not me saying, this is the president's only fbi director saying it. >> and on the issue -- did my mic get clipped there. i'll repeat it. where do americans stand on the issue. fox news polls will break it down and we'll talk about the refugee crisis and more. and we'll have all of that for you. stay with us.

universities across america have been facing protests and calls for reform amid claims of racism on campuses. and now, a new poll finds that

40% of millennials support limiting free speech, if the speech is offensive to minority groups. financials, including people -- financials, including age 18-34, differing dramatically from earlier. a quarter of gen xors and others, and one in ten from the silent generation agreed. the u.s. senate will return from the thanksgiving holiday with the house refugee bill on the its agenda. there are concerns over the plan. voters are revealing a similar sentiment. new fox polling, which we have been digging into all hour, a number side with congress in opposition to the president's plan to allow 10,000 syrian refugees into america. garrett has more from washington. >> president obama has been pushing his plan to allow 10,000 syrian rfrg news the u.s. -- refugees over the next year and

going hard after anyone who disagrees. that group now includes a majority of americans. a new poll 67% of registered voters opposed the president's plan and only 28% are in favor. last week the house voted in favor of enhancing the screening of refugees from syria. the president said the idea that they pose a threat to america is ridiculous. but the american people disagree. half of registered voters said it is very likely at least one syrian refugee will carry out an attack after coming to the u.s. and another quarter of voters said it is somewhat likely. on fox news sunday, rubio said current screenings don't work for companies like syria where records are pars and limited intel on the ground. >> we can't allow anyone in the country that we can't vet and believe a vast majority of the refugees coming here are people we can't vet. there is no reliable data base

to rely on. >> the white house enhanced on security of the visa waiver programs that allowed people from certain countries to visit the u.s. without a visa and would be anezzyer point of entry for would-be terrorists. >> there are a number of foreign terrorist fighters who have gone into iraq and syria from countries in europe and elsewhere. >> we are told the senate is likely to vote on the bill after thanksgiving. but even if it passes, the president still says he will veto it. harris. >> garrett, thank you. donald trump also said the u.s. should not take in syrian refugees. the fox news political insiders are next to talk about that and the day's political headlines. remember, we love it when you chime in and take out the phone or the tablet and tune in at the same time. talk to us. hit us up on the fox news social media page. i'm include you in our

if you are just joining us, let's catch up on what is breaking and making news here on the fox report. police and military operations carrying out anti-terror raids across brussels. the federal prosecutors in a news conference covered live just a short time ago saying there were 22 raids in all. at least 16 people arrested. he said one of those detained was injured when a car he was in tried to ram police during an attempted getaway. belgium officials thanking the

media and the public for avoid the areas need the raids and maintaining what they called radio silence, not talking or tweeting and getting off social media about the raids until they were carried out. the suspect in the terrorist attack, abdeslam, is still at large. belgium is on the highest level, four, alert. and schools and university and mass transit shut down for a third straight down. more on that as we hear more. because they are supposed to make a decision about that tomorrow. we don't know if the raid as leafy ated -- alleviated that. and france trying to destroy the islamic state in the wake of the paris attacks and they want moscow on board. francois hollande will meet with vladimir putin this week. and he is also first coming to meet with president obama on tuesday at the white house. fox news is america's election headquarters and things are heating up. new polls showing donald trump

building his lead, widening the lead over the race for the republican nomination. getting support from 28% of gop voters and maintaining a 10-point spread, do you call it spread, i do. over ben carson. marco rubio and ted cruz gaining in the poll as well. tied for third place at 14%. no other candidates came close to double-digits. and that raises an important question. are we really just down to about four republican candidates at this point. let's bring in the fox news political insiders. live from los angeles, that sounds like an entertainment show, doug shown. former pollster for bill clinton. good to have you via satellite. and john, former congressman from new york and pat and doug. i'm going to start with you. it is too early to see where everybody will fall, right. but these four, if just add it up, they make up a big chunk of what people are saying they'll do when they head to the polls.

>> right. there are two things going on. first, as we've been saying, the outsiders, carson and most of all trump, they are dominated. and there is no sense in the data there is any diminution in the support for the outsiders given the tragic terrorist attacks in the last few weeks. that being said, the most conservative outsiders, rubio and cruz, are increasing level of support. but it is important to note that trump has a two to one lead over both rubio and cruz. he has a substantial gap over carson. the american people are responding to his message on immigration. his message on taking in syrian gr mgts. and as i think pat will explain, a turning point, a crisis in american political light. >> and doug is now anchoring the suggest, so he should talk to you. take it away.

>> now for me. now i get in. no, exactly, this is what is going on. we're seeing trump as a counter action to the president. we'll talk about any sense of leaderlessness, which we see in the fox poll, in other numbers. you know, there is another poll in the wash post this morning -- washington post, that shows trump further ahead it. does not show rubio and cruz. but i think right now the four of them are in business. but let me say this. what is happening, is that we've had great anger in the country for months. and if you think that is something, now as it con flats with this foreign policy stuff, we will have a -- i guarantee you, january and february are going to be like nothing you could imagine. we are talking about a country on the verge of blowing open. >> john, how do you look at this in terms of dr. ben carson. because some people say well he slid a little bit. considering what the media --

the mainstream media and what he is asked about in dealing with his biography, he did well. he is still probably right where he wants to be. >> i don't think he has done well lately. >> according to this polling. >> no, he has slipped on the issue that was his strength, which is his unique honesty, his difference from being anybody else in the political system. he a couple of bad weeks from his book, his inability to answer questions about his own biograp biography. he is weathering it, but not rising the way he was three weeks ago. the -- trump was under pressure from carson just two weeks ago and felt the pressure and started going after carson. carson deteriorates a little bit since then. but he is still in there. no doubt. and he represents a part of the outsiders who i think they are more christian, more evangelical, very big block of the republican party. he has them in love with him. they love him. >> real quickly, can donald

trump take credit about the national conversation about the refugee crisis. because he brought it up. >> yes, trump is the most uniquely positioned candidate on immigration, a border and the syrian refugees who a month ago he said there are a disproportionate number of men coming. he would send them back and is way ahead on the curve. >> and it is the incompetence of the government. he talks about a government getting nothing done on this and he contrasts himself as a can-do person. and all of the people in public office, they keep mumbling things but no one contrasts it the way trump does. >> and quickly, with you, doug. >> want to pop up how everybody else is doing. >> sure. >> whether you break out of the double-digits, you have clustered bush, christie and carly fiorina. given the margin of error, some

might not get a percentage points there. but what are your thoughts there. >> my thoughts are where you began, harris. which is what i would say now, bush, huckabee and kasich and paul, they are sinking -- and they are -- it is probably right to say, beginning to lose their relevance in this race. this is a four-person race. people want outsiders. they want restrictions on immigration. terror is the number one issue in the abc poll to republicans. and as pat was saying, they want change, fundamental change. and the outsiders, the conservatives, are giving it to them. >> real quickly, from twitter, randy says does trump have the ground game necessary in iowa and new hampshire? it is a yes or no question. yes or no? >> i don't think it matters. i think yes, you could win. i think the attachment to him that he is building there, it will all be ending late. one thing to note, harris, is every single republican, now, including the quote, people who

couldn't win, they are beating hillary clinton. it is a sign of what is going on. >> but -- can i answer the ground game. i think people underestimate how powerful cruz's ground game is. >> interesting. >> they guy has been planning this thing a long time. and he is under the radar but it is there in iowa. definitely in new hampshire. don't underestimate. >> we'll be watching it all. you heard doug say, american voters say terrorist is the top concern this election season. some of them at least. a majority of them. our insiders wi will tackle thad much more. and chime in on our fox news social media pages. so

well in the wake of the deadly attacks in paris. terrorism now on many americans'

minds. and in a new poll, it is said to be the most important issue facing the nation. here it is. a few months ago the top issue with the economy. fox news political insiders are back. doug, john and pat. and so normally, the issue is the economy. no matter what is going on. and i've never read people go to the polls based on foreign policy but maybe they are doing it based on not being safe. what do you think, john. >> i don't believe in the premise. i believe what issue is the biggest issue. government corruption was bigger than either the economy or terrorism. >> but doug can speak to this, the pollsters, including ours, have a preset notion from the political class of what an election is about. and they say here are the issues and they give you six or seven. there is no corruption or confidence in governments and being screwed by the banks. and none of that stuff. and it is powerful. and driving this election. does anybody ask people whether

or not it is an issue. >> and the proof is why are the polls, in the last two elections, wrong. last year in the senate races, wrong across the board. >> why? >> because the pollsters are using a prism from maybe ten years ago or five years ago. >> and from a mindset that says everything is normal. doug, you know more. >> you guys are the experts on polling. how would you do it differently? >> well, here is what i would say. and i think pat is exactly right. and john as well. harris, there is a range of concerns out there about terror, about immigration, about a sense the government is, as pat said, incompete incompetent, not responding, serving the political class and not serving the people's interest. that is what is driving ben carson and especially donald trump on immigration and on refugees. it also is helping bernie sanders on the democratic side

on the anti-wall street thing. so the frame of analysis is wrong. and we here on political insiders with you, harris, have been trying to expand the dialogue and help the american people understand what is really going on. >> we appreciate that. i want to move on to another topic that people say they feel strongly about and that is the plan for the u.s. to accept 10,000 syrian refugees over the next year. let's pop up the brand new polling. 28% in favor. look at the opposition to that idea. now this is among all of the registered voters. this is not broken down by political parties. if you go deeper, you can see the numbers. 67% against this, pat. >> including a plurality of democrats are against the president on this policy. and look, part of the problem is it is common sense for people. we have a proposal brian put forward that is actually not that drastic, that the president wants to veto, oefb though it is a -- even though it is veto-proof numbers.

we have no imagination. people are worried, one person will get in and they will attack. the country is upset and nervous. and in general, i heard a general had an idea, which is bring the women and children and families and take care of the families but if they are military-age, let's train them to be soldiers and send them back to fight for their country against this stuff. we just have no imagination. >> let me also say, i think it was unbecoming of a president of the united states, while overseas, harris, to rail on this thing against the people who have an honest criticism of this program. and he has such a thin skin. he gets off, oh, if they want to pop off, have them come one a serious proposal and we'll look at it. he's just so -- you know, he's mush on this thing. and instead of leading the country. why doesn't he explain to america what we ought to do and why we ought to do it. he shies away from it.

>> doug, my biggest question is why we can't have a national dialogue about this and have it play out in washington. it seems like the biggest idea in this country, the things we have to face, we face under pressure all of the time. i don't get that. the last i read, it takes 18 to 24 months to process some of the people coming into the country so it is not like the president doesn't have time to sit down and talk about this. >> harris, you can't be more right. and that is what the american people are saying. it builds on what pat and john have been articulating. they want a national consensus on what we're going to do rather than partisanship. there were 47 democratic house members who voted for the ryan bill to pause immigration. it is sort of common sense, if the records are not clear, why would we want to take 10,000 and personally put ourselves as risk as the polling said. but we are not getting dialogue and leadership and most of all, no consensus. >> the pentagon is expanding the

investigation into military reports on the islamic state. which officials say, well, they could be less accurate. like maybe they were made to look like we weren't suffering as many losses in many ways against isis. how is that possible? we'll talk about it. this is

didn't get as much play because we had so much breaking news but pay attention to this this week. the pentagon is expanding an internal investigation into the central command after reports from senior intelligence officials who say think superiors changed military assessments to mask some of the department's failures. specifically, the plan to train iraqi forces to fight isis. political insiders are back. pat. >> you know what it reminds me of, we had this over and over again, it started in vietnam,

change the body counts, change the news. all of these euphemisms, same thing we've had now during other periods, since then in the iraq war. and weapons of mass destruction. now we have the president's policy, which everyone knows is not working and the american people are stunned to find out that he won't change his opinion. and now we find out, it has all been backed up to turn around and say the troops that ran away, and dropped their weapons, which we all saw, they need redeployed. this thing of people feeding the perception of a president who is already out of touch is a crime. >> wow! doug? >> yeah, i think we have a crisis of confidence in the federal government. we do not know if we are being told the truth. in fact, there is substantial reason to believe we're not, about the war on terror, the fight against isis, the fight to keep our homeland free. it plays into what we were

talking about before. the larger narrative, the government is not working. and it is failing. and it explains why there is such a great desire for change and a reassessment in our leadership. >> a democratic white house, this administration under obama and the democrats at the table and via satellite saying this. john? >> well these guys are honest democrats. they are not in the tank for think administration. so i give them credit, as i always have. through a bigger issue than democrats or republicans. this is the issue of the intelligence community and the military which should be independent of politics, they are ass-kissing politicians and they are sucking up to -- >> oh. >> they have done this repeatedly. all of the instances, you talked about, the instance i've been involved with for a long time, the issues of american prisons of war left behind in vietnam, this same thing has gone on for 30 years. >> pat? >> the problem is when an

administration politicized the military, drives out people who have independent views, you end up with people like the admiral at the state department. >> kirby. >> who is even worst than earnest at lying to the people. the american people ask the question, if the government speaks to you, do you believe they are telling the truth or lying. and if you pick lying, you are probably right. >> higher ups don't care about their soldiers any more, haley says. gentlemen, great to have you tonight. thank you so much. doug, from afar, thank you. we'll be right back. stay with us. . .

i am so thrilled to tell but this. at fox news, we have a one-of-a-kind apprentice program with a mission to promote diversity and develop careers inside of the industry. and the apprentice program, more than a decade, was created by our chairman back in 2003. and the past week the latest graduating class was honored here in new york city. i had an honor of hosting part of the program. and inside of the program, the graduates learn the importance of working through tough challenges which was certainly emphasized. wrestle champion anthony robles. >> we all have a challenge and we all have on stacks come up, but the question is whether you let that challenge become your excuse to fail. how you will react in the situations when it gets hard. you have to tell yourself, you are unstoppable.

>> today's event marks an incredibly proud moment for all of those involved in the program. we have watched the members of the current class grow and develop into promising young leaders and that is why we're all here today. to honor "the apprentice" graduate and to honor this man. and one of the things that i absolutely love and admire and respect, he has those memories of what it has been like to live on the downside of advantage. to be discounted. he knows that he's been in your position. graduate. he gave you a chance. >> our program is to create people who will step forward and lead. not just in the television business, but in a problems that we might have. these people are going to change the world. they are the best hope for this country. >> we are about the vision of
