len baker reminded us innovation isn't just about science and technology.t inventions in business and business processes and these kinds of innovations really come out of a fertile private sector. we saw the perfect example of that in google. but i have to say that i am still persuaded that the government has proven to have a powerful role in innovation, at least in the past. look at all of the achievements of darpa in inventing the internet, gps. without them america and the world would be a very different place. after all, the fastest growing economies in the world today, china, south korea, are using the government to fund research, to promote innovation, in industry after industry, they're establishing commanding leads because of government policy. so, i think we need both -- government support and a vibrant private sector to foster innovation. but my final thought about all this is that even if we do outinnovate the rest of the world, even if we maintain the cutting edge, there is still a big question. given the way technology works and globalization w

i think commissioner's baker's leave -- commissioner baker's leaving does a funny thing to what happens to her seat, what happens to the copps seat. there's some great people that could go there, and i prefer to work on the stuff i'm working on at aspen. that's more important for me now. >> host: you thought the additional broadband plan was successful in some areas, not so in some areas. overall, was it -- >> guest: well, first of all, i think the implementation -- two steps forward, one step back. and there's a variety of different factors. look, the best single line in the plan was this plan is in beta and always will be, and i deeply believe that. we moved a lot very quickly. and i think that it was certainly in the sense of a new agenda for spectrum reform very, very good. for universal reform, i think we've moved the ball forward dramatically. there's also a number of other things i think people haven't noticed in education, for example. we were aligned, and we were not unique in this, but we were very much aligned with what the department of education is doing. if you look at the

regina dugan, author steven johnson, economist paul romer, len baker and innovation maven john kao. >> problems are much more serious than most people realize and the consequences are more grave than most people realize. >> but let's get started by first understanding innovation and watching the effect it has had on societies over the last centuries. >>> so, why does innovation matter? helping explain it all for us today is a man who studied innovation from top to bottom, steven johnson. johnson is the author of a terrific book "where good ideas come from: the natural history of innovation" and he'll show us the impact of innovation over time. >> that's. let's start with a long view that shows just how dramatic the change inaugurated by the modern revolution in innovation has been.

guest: commissioner baker was a wonderful commission . very, very smart, made an enormous contribution. i think she has made a contribution in toeother ways. i am quite certain she did not break any lsawaw, that this offr came to her after the merger was already approved. but i completely understand what the public feels the way they do about it. i think, but there is a very simple answer to this, that she should not be held accountable for it, but i hope we learned a lesson here. that is simply this -- no confirmed person at that agency should interview for any private sector job while they are there. they should make a commitment -- is one thing if the president tos i want to mov eyoe you something else. if the senate confirms due to be a decisionmaker, go there and be a decisionmaker. if you want to leave, leave. some time off, enjoy the family, and start looking for a job. if we had that simple rule that nobody interviews for a private- sector job while sitting commissioner, it would be better off. guest: so you agree with free press

now on book tv rick baker, former mayor of st. petersburg, florida, presents his thoughts on the revitalization of american cities. this is just under an hour. .. >> here in the comes weeks, you'll be hearing a lot. whether it's examining public employees and their relationships with the public p- the governments for which they work, pension systems, retiree health benefits, whether it's talking about new public health safety or working on issues as diverse as prisoner reentry like newark or assimilations into the cities and states, the institute is at the core of the policy debates taking place. you urge you to visit our web site, manhattaninstitute.org to learn more about what we are doing to share it with people and visit a new site that we've put up called publicsector publicsectorinc.org. that focuses on the union issues and hopefully it will be for you as well. now as majors and governors across the country battle -- and i use the word battle because that's what it turned into close enormous budget gaps while simultaneously

same old governments are going be there indefinitely. >> reporter: moreover, ys baker, if you play it too safe, you're probably investing more conservatively than taxpayers or pensioners would want you to. >> most people in their own investments, certainly anyone who has a 401(k), they want to take some risks. and it's a little perverse if we say, here you could have an individual taking risks with the stock market, individuals knowing that things happen, that you're going to have to retire at a certain point in time, and on the other hand we have the government that's going to be there in principle forever and they can't take the risk. that would seem very perverse to me. >> reporter: but the government entity is taking a risk with its taxpayers' money. >> there's no way to avoid that. we'd be asking people, do you want to pay higher taxes in order to avoid taking the risk in the stock market? i think most people would say no to that. >> the stock market has been misbehaving. >> reporter: but professor bodie says that if pension funds don't make their assumed rates of return, the tax

journalist milt mayer was struggling with the questions of why good average germans like the local baker butcher and clothing maker sat quietly as the nation was completely transformed into one that became totally and utterly lawless how could this happen to find out he spent a year in germany getting to know very very well to an average germans from a baker to a university professor and he found the answer to his question their stories as mayer wrote in his book they thought they were free the title of his book. this is actually a quote from one of the one of these people professor what happened here was the gradual habituation of the people little by little to being governed by surprise to receiving decisions deliberated in secret to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act or information which the people could not understand or so dangerous that even if the people quit understand it it could not be released because of national security just like here in america we've all gradually gotten used to this new security state it's now all around us there

independent investigative journalist and founder and editor of consortium news and from florida ross baker author of the book family of secrets the bush dynasty and editor of the website who what why dot com robert ross welcome but i'm glad to have you both with us ross first of all the surgeries state clinton believes that the libyan war may be winding down what was our mission there and how we know if we're really successful what does that mean. you know i've been thinking about this for the last few months the way i do my reporting is i always try to put my shoe my way self in the shoes of the powerful people and to figure out what i'd do if i were them it dawned on me way back when the this story started breaking that it just didn't make any sense the claim that we that we were there to protect civilians the number of civilians killed by gadhafi forces are not that large it is basically compared to what's going on in some of the other countries so certainly there was no consistency there but i think that we don't have to look very far beyond. simply put there is nothing more important

so mike baker, bad rap? why -- why him?f an organization who is either not well liked or, you know, not well respected. at the end of the day, you know, he gets the job done i suppose from an operational and strategic point of view. he's a very hard core individual, and, you know, regardless -- there's a lot of chatter that goes on in the world of punditry about al qaeda and about how the personalities blend and, you know, at the end of the day he was given also credit for in part operational planning of 9/11, the 2005 bombings in the uk, of even the african embassy bombings. he's been around a long time. has a lot of experience and whether they like him or not, you know, it's not a popularity contest to some degree in terms of al qaeda. you know, what they wanted also was they wanted continuity and, you know, not to make this sound too much a succession at a multi-national or fortune 50 company. >> that's exactly what it is. >> they are not unsophisticated. they know how, you know, the world works to some degree, and i thi

henry kissinger once said -- and jim baker has prospered in the similarity of our names. [laughter] but i am hard put to give you an insight into my admiration for larry eagleburger. i can tell you that he was a distinguished public servant, as he was, that he had iniki understanding of the important -- had a key to understanding of the importance of the service and the diplomatic corps, which he did. i can tell you as well that he was genuine. by that, i mean you exactly who was, whether the secretary of state, as a trusted advisor, or private citizen, he was comfortable with that. he was happy in his own skin i also recall -- his own skin. i also recall that he traveled well. i traveled with him on occasion. i was always struck by the universal appeal that he had and -- and and hugely richly he richly deserved it. larry had a cane. he stood erect and upright. he looked deferentially to either side. and marched down the aisle. he carried the grander of his position and the dignity of his office. mostly, he carried the bearing of a great man. he traveled alone, of course.

and on that note i'll go to sheila baker who i think her quote is directly applicable to what ms. mary anne was saying. ms. baker said that, i pay my taxes responsibly, with the understanding that i must pay more than those who earn an income less than mine. so, ms. baker's clearly saying that she makes a little bit and she understands that she pays more than the person who does not make what she makes and ises no knot as fortunate as she is. but her next sentence is the most important one. she says she also expects and demands that those who earn more than her should do the same. so that those who make more than ms. baker should also pay their fair share and she says hence the concept, a fair shared burden of taxes. so, i want to thank ms. baker, one, for acknowledging that she's doing better than other people and she has to pay a little bit more and thank her for participating in the people's house and expressing her concerns and her opinion about where she thinks we should be as a country. the next person i want to talk about, mr. speaker, is freddie vasquez jr. and he has conc
