. >> arthur brooks, david brooks. i am mentioning conservatives now. jenkins, they're not wrong.ryan is wonderful. and they are very thoughtful about why these things are important. how society should go about it and we become more knee jerk. and what is this ideology your feet are stuck in cement. you can barely breathe and then you should be angry. and yeah they're right. and watch nbc, msnbc, they're jazzing you up. you're being manipulated. learn to think for yourselves and what the solutions are. what the unintended consequences are of policy issues. it has the opposite effect. >> do you think the american public is being manipulated in a sense? >> we're allowing ourselves to be jazzed up by management. don't let people jazz you up and get you angry. you're being manipulated when that happens. >> a harvard study just came out that i found fascinating. it sound only 19% of americans between age 18 and 29 identify themselves as capitalists. only 42% in that group even said they support capitalism. when you hear those numbers and see those stats what do you think? >> it surpris
