i taught for many years at cooper union. it's a very small school. everyone is on full scholarship because the top 2% of american colleges. one of the reasons i retired was my students did not read anymore. it was pointless. how can you talk about anything when they have no vocabulary? they were good kids, hard-working nice kids but it's not just not reading american literature. they're not reading anything. as for these writers, through the 1970s and 80s i would say they were at the very top of people's list. you have to read f. scott fitzgerald. you couldn't be considered a college graduate but what is considered a college graduate now is not much. >> eight question up here. >> hi. i was wondering how you talk about liberalism the way he described it in the democratic party as a whole. it's kind of hard if you project contempt for the middle class and bourgeois values and it seems to me that -- in the past century like truman and humphrey and kennedy fitting this profile. >> think about truman for a minute. truman was an old-fashioned of that. he b

philosophies of government that i thought was so well stated in such a succinct way by abraham lincoln at coopers union in new york in 1860 was he said government should do for people only those things that people cannot better do for themselves. and there are some things in health care that government actually could do to then let people do things better for themselves. that's why our side, beginning in 2009 and before that, advocated things like buying across state lines, a bigger marketplace. organize the marketplace, don't try to operate a system. don't try to create an environment where people can't make decisions about what they want and somehow we think the government can make those decisions better. we all talk to people every day who had coverage, as the senator from texas said, that they were happy with that met their needs, and now they are told by the government, well, your new coverage is better. it doesn't matter if you don't have any children. you have pediatric dental care. it doesn't matter if you're retired and plan not to have children. you now have maternity coverage. it doesn't mat

union. up until that moment, iran was cooperating with the united states on the border of afghanistan, post1, iran was more or less an american ally but being included in the axis of evil, it turned the iranian government in a completely different direction and it was a turning point in american politics and foreign policy. >> i would agree with you. my point was -- that one was the exception, not the rule, not that that speech didn't matter, in fact it quite did. there are some speeches as you look back past the century that did matter. that's clearly one. think of all of the state of the unions since then we've not had a moment like that. clearly there are these moments because it is sort of a tradition an event and moment. it just usually the rhetoric and nature of the speech rarely lives up to what we expect. sorry. >> we had ronald reagan saying the era of big government is over, that was a visual effect. chuck, there was bill clinton talking about the end of big government as well and trying to replicate that moment. what about the word cloud in our poll though and the fact that only

union address in 2002. >> it is thoroughly silly. there was cooperation with iran on the subject of afghanistan after we overthrew the taliban, because we wanted to bring stability there. we didn't want to see the very large persian and ethnic group in iran. let's be clear, iran was still on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. iran was still the second most heavily sanctioned country in the world by the united states after only north korea. we knew we were pursuing nuclear weapons. they were on our list of things to deal with when 9/11 happened. so the notion that we were somehow in any sense an ally of iran is just flatly wrong. h calling them the axis of evil, destroying the relationship, is silly. >> she says they were more or less an ally. >> i guess with the equivocation -- >> it is less. ambassador, good to see you. >> good to see. >>> coming up, a hard-working girl gets a painful history in working lessons. and got a little too much attention from the local authorities. >>> plus, a new documentary on anita hill. some believes there is more tha

more progressive steel unions, has recently made some tentative arrangements with the basque country, this huge worker-owned industrial banking, housing, school/educational cooperative that could get somewhere. and i mentioned work that discussed very well the spread of worker-owned enterprises in mostly northern ohio, the old rust belt. they have kind of an interesting history which relates very much to this. back in 1977 at the beginning of the concerted effort to destroy industrial production in the united states and sort of beginning of the neoliberal assault on the population we've been through in the last generation, u.s. steel decided to close its main steel plants in youngstown, ohio. it was a steel town, like other working class towns like detroit. it had actually been built by the working classes. it was their town. they didn't get the profit be, because they were tools. but they built it. they wanted to keep it. u.s. steel wanted to sell it. to close it down. and the union offered to buy it. they had community support, they even had some support of, i think it was a republican governor. just let the workers buy the plant and keep running it. well, u.s. st

cooperation and anticipation. >> the president stateside is preparing to address the country with the state of the union. there is already some speculation as to what will be in that speech. we're hearing it will be somewhat moderate in terms of a plan. but he is going to lay out an agenda. at this time last year his approval rating was much higher, 53%. it's now at 42%. as he lays out that agenda, how important is it to be measured, especially in an election year if he wants to get anything done? >> well, i think he doesn't want to be measured when it comes to defining democrats versus republicans. that's the great thing he can add to this debate is to say to the democrats, we have an agenda, a plan for more economic rekov ri to make sure no one is left behind. also to be thinking about the midterm elections. i think it's a real question, how much persuasive punch he's got left. i think that's going to be tested. what's working in his favor, the budget wars have cooled little bit. there may be some momentum for immigration reform among republicans. look for an outstretched hand in at least those couple

union. militarily, i do not think that president hollande has seen the value in cooperating with french up to the aliursion in molly -- in m about a year ago. they are going to try to kickstart that cooperation all. the idea is that they work together on a drone. they will sign a deal committee $200 million to developing a drone over the next two years. bae already has its own that it has been experimenting with. it is called the tyrannis, named after the celtic god of thunder. they will also talk about missiles for helicopters that ipuld be used in anti-sh operations. more than $1 billion of military cooperation on the table. it is a little bit like companies. they are trying to find synergy and cut costs. both of them could use that. actually getting british and french citizens to work together in the sensitive area has proven not as easy as i think sarkozy and cameron originally thought. >> it is interesting. you talk to bae and dassault. they have huge respect for each other. those are the only two companies that are building advanced fighter jets. they are the only two companies that can

the arab league and the european union have already shown how they can pave the way for peace, and they have been unbelievably cooperative and we are grateful for their help. i think king abdulla of jordan, and the extraordinary efforts of jordan to help move this, the arab league, and the leader of the arab league committee that is working, month to month, to stay current and to be engaged in this. many states made contributions to the palestinian economy, including a new infrastructure initiative that is making a difference to everyday lives. many companies, including some of you here, have invested in both israel and the palestinian territories, and you have shown the difference the private sector can make in this endeavor. and all of you can make a positive contribution by dismissing, please, the all too easy skepticism, by seeing the possibilities, and by building the momentum for peace. conversations here at davos demand the kind of cooperation that has to come from many stakeholders. as kyle schwab says, in an interconnected world, all challenges must be based on togetherness. that is true whether you are talking

"america tonight" explains how something called the polar vortex is getting many states polar experience. >> extremely fridgid temperatures will continue to blast dozens of states at least through tuesday. the snow is pouring down on michigan and minnesota is so-called, it feels like 55 below, which windchill. fortunately, whether this wacky and this uncomfortable is part of a pattern that so far only occurs every 10 years or so according to national weather service meteorologist mike soko. >> the science of that is in

union not to develop too far. it's military security a cooperation. now it's b finding a balance.ave to step forward and that's something positive. >> we have time for two more. >> i wanted to ask you about your thoughts on the recentyour failure to engage with theilur ukraine on the part of the ain european union. >> i remember for estonia for eastern european countries to g, west, it's a momentum for end of 1990's. i think now sending a strong message to his words. an idea of looking also those countries, and eastern european countries. possibility to choose their own part is between the two.do the one is indeed an interest -- [inaudible]. another is a european values and western values. ukrainian situation very clear. i think we understand unfortunately what putin wants t to build.new the new block of countries where where strategic role surely plays ukraine. they are using all the means to achieve that aim. i think what is very important that the western leaders and also the public audience should send a very clear message. the first message is indeed to kremlin. it is unaccep

cooperation and anticipation. >> the president looks to address the state of the country with the state of the union. there is also speculation about what will be in that speech. he is going to lay out an agenda. at this time last year, his approval rating was much higher. 53%. it's now at 42%. as he lays out that agenda, how important is it to be measured especially in an election year if he wants to get anything done? >> well, i think he doesn't want to be measured when it comes to defining democrats versus republicans. right? that's the great thing he can add to this debate is to say as the head of the democrats, we have an agenda to make sure nobody's left behind for the middle class. really kind of a down payment, i think, on the future of the democratic party. but also to be thinking about midterm elections. i think it depends what persuasive punch he has left. maybe some momentum for immigration reform among republicans. so look for an outstretched happened in at least those couple of areas. >> real quickly, will we hear much about obama care? >> no. he's got to do it. the republicans are goin
