so ours is legacy of edisons and graham bells, fords and boganses, googles and twitters.untry that has always been on the cutting edge. the reason is that america has always had the most daring entrepreneurs in the world. some of them are standing with me today. when their ideas take root, we get inventions that can change the way we live. when their businesses take off, more people become employed. because overall, new businesses account for almost every new job that is created in america. now, because we're still recovering from one of the worst resessions in our history, the last few years have been pretty tough on entrepreneurs. credit has been tight and no matter how good their ideas are, if an entrepreneur can't get backing from a bank or investors, it is almost impossible get to their businesses off the ground. that's why in september and my state of the union, i called on congress to remove a number of barrier that's were preventing aspiring entrepreneurs from getting funding. and this is one useful and important step along that journey. here's what's going to hap

a very big debate over the rise of america, the electrification, the internal combustion engine, edison's america was beginning to show up britain as was bismarck's journey. i think when you're number one and have been number one for many decades others emulate you. you don't emulate them that was the inclusion of the british debate and i feel that's the default mind-set in washington, d.c. it's less the automatic defense mechanism than it was before lehman brothers melted down. it's still very much, look, we've got out of trouble before and we'll get out of trouble again. >> warner: detoqueville said america was great because she could always repair her faults and you say america is losing its ability to tackle its problems >> that's the spirit of what troubles me which is that this american sense of pragmatism pragmatism is a word invented by america which is practical, resolving actual problems not in theory but in practice. i think by that yardstick, by that measure that detoquevilleian spirit is missing in action, at least in washington. >> warner: so this is an obvious question but

the psychological attitude of the modern world is such that if if thomas edison invented the electricthe modern era, it would be reported on the network news as the candle making industry was threatened today. president obama's biggest challenge is that he has exactly the wrong ideas. he belongs to an ideology that believes the way you get hard eggs is you freeze them. he has an environmental protection agency proposal that would raise the price of gasoline by 25 cents a gallon. indicate calmly and decisively that any effort to close the straits of hormuz would be considered an act of war and we would eliminate the government of eiran. >> that's right. newt gingrich left no topic untouched, and he was fully prepped to take the fight to president obama this year with a plan that would make don king proud. >> well, let me just say to the president, i will be glad to debate him anywhere anytime. and i'll go a step further just to make it nonpolitical. we ought to debate on pay-per-view and charge 10 bucks to watch the debate and that ought to go to a charity over a mutual choice and it w
