so in between those i have been teaching, and i find it exceptionally rewarding. the students here are exceptionally able and motivated >> how many books have you written? >> let's see. three and another one are to. >> what was your experience like on the 9/11 commission? >> going to some of the events. there are still some unfinished recommendations. this might be a time to look at how well that's going. a should say the one that has not been enacted, congress is to be more of a player. the specialization. this is the problem. the sense that there is no incentive structure. if you're the head of the agriculture committee, you're doing something for farmers by doing something. but if you're protecting gasol, the free rider problem. everybody benefits. people sort of see intelligence committees as jury duty. so we have to go into a few. it was an extraordinary time. the height of all of these in washington. bush and the democratic congress. we had ten commissioners, five republicans and five democrats. and they wrote a report that got unanimous consent without spli

that is american exceptionalism.applause] not a punchline in a political speech, but a vision followed by a set of principle actions that made us the envy of the world. not a re-election strategy, but an american revitalization strategy. we will be that again, but not until that we demand that our leaders stand tall by telling the truth, confronting our shortcomings, celebrating our successes, and once again leading the world because of what we have been able to actually accomplish. only when we do that will we finally ensure that our children and grandchildren will live in a second american century. we owe them, as well as ourselves and those who came before us nothing less. thank you again for inviting me. god bless you and god bless the united states of america.

i would be lying if i don't say they're exceptionally hostile. >> pelley: exceptionally hostile? >> exceptionally hostile. >> pelley: foreign minister hina rabbani khar told us she met with secretary of state hillary clinton and had "an intense meeting" in which they tried to work out a path forward. also at the united nations today, the palestinians took a historic step in their long quest for statehood. president mahmoud abbas asked the u.n. for full membership, envisioning a palestinian state based on borders set before israel won the 1967 war. >> ( translated ): i say the time has come for my courageous and proud people after decades of displacement and colonial occupation and ceaseless suffering, to live like other people of the earth: free in a sovereign and independent homeland. >> pelley: israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called on the u.n. to reject the proposal and challenged the palestinians to restart face-to- face negotiations. >> president abbas, why don't you join me? we have to stop negotiating about the negotiations. let's just get on with it. let's negot

he says americans believe in americans exceptionalism the way greeks believe in greek exceptionalismts believe in britain's exceptionalism. chris christie was saying america needs to be a leader in the world by example of what we say and do. bill: i want to roll a clip that runs 30 seconds. these are a few of the times he said he's not runle. >> if you don't feel tonight your heard you have no business running. you have to believe in your heart and soul and mind that you are ready and i don't believe that about myself right now. that's what i said all along. i'm not arrogant enough to believe that after one year as the governor of knowledge and 7 years as a u.s. attorney that i'm ready to be president of the united states. bill: does chris christie enjoy this or does some of this come from inside of his camp or the more influential side of the conservative right pushing him? >> he said anybody would be flattered to be asked to be leader of the free world and that makes some sense. there is a reason people have been talking for months about peopl --about him running for p. chris chris

to that is not american exceptionalism. i will be six think about this. i saw something on a political -- succint on this. i saw something political were they strong my answers back to back of running for the presidency. it is right on the front page of politico. cut on it. it is in the answers. >> you have some grumbling. i have rules, too. item 56 town hall meetings. we have all the same rules, wait for the microphone. to say who you are. we have a role that is really important in in new jersey. even though i am on foreign soil, i will enforce this rule. there could be people who do not like one of my answers that would disagree. we walk and then to stand up. if you express said in a reasonable and respectful manner, you get a reasonable disagreement in return. however, if this is the day that you decide you want to impress your friends on television and you decide you want to take the governor out for a walk, i will give you the role i given new jersey. we are all from new jersey. if you give that, you are getting it back. >> never mind. >> if you are

our view in the book, exceptionalism is not an entitlement. it is not like social security that you get no matter what we do or an honorary degree. it has to be earned and reearned by every generation. that's what really the book is about. how we do that with a particular focus on education. this really is a book about jobs and education. where the jobs are today and what kind of education moms and dads and kids going to school now really need to secure those jobs because that is the fundamental basis of our prosperity. >> varp the -- tavis: is the president's jobs bill enough to get it done? >> i see it as a necessary stimulus we need to prevent a lapsing back into another recession, which would be terrible, if we started that at 9.2 unemployment. it is also, you know, part of the long-term investment. ultimately -- in new industries and in stimulating the economy more broadly in schools and the like. what we really need, tavis, is something that really money can't buy. we need to roll up our sleeves. we need better teachers to be sure. we ne

it has been for centuries and remains today even during the war and exceptionally diverse and dynamic place where the soldiers are serving. >> there are a lot war books. this was one of the best i've read. this was great. it got towards the end it was intense. >> thank you very much. it took a lot of hard work. again i think the biggest challenge for me was because of some of the security requirements, having to tone down what a lot of the men who did their actually did and what they've accomplished. it is nothing short of phenomenal, and i am hoping that people buy it because they want to know what the soldiers are doing. they wanted with the afghans are doing for themselves. that is a very consistent question that comes out is how much are the afghans actually contributing. this is important because it relates directly to the units that we saw or that you read about in the book or units that we help to build in the early years and trained with us so they considered us almost afghans and brothers and they would operate and execute like professional soldiers and that's something that

of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story of a six so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here so you saw the part of it and realized everything is ok. i'm trying hard to fix it. let's not forget that we are in a park right great. i think. either one well. we have got to be safe. because our freedom. ok so we're back for more with republican presidential candidate and former governor of louisiana buddy roemer thanks so much for staying with us tonight right now so before we set the break you were saying that a president who doesn't have a clause of money within in him of special interest could be more free to lead but one of the things that we've heard often about president barack obama is that he's had his hands tied by congress and that's why he can't lead so even if he were to get elected let's say without any special interest money you still have an entire congress you have you know almost five hundred people out there they do have special interest money the thing and the job is easy but how it all wrong i

but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and here's some other part of it to realize that everything is all. right guys it's time for show and tell on tonight's program last time we took a page from our interview with republican presidential candidate by mark he explained that he has kept his campaign contributions at one hundred dollars so that no special interests can or fear with his political message so should americans be limited in how much they can delineate the political campaigns is going to produce a picture even a century to find out what you have to say so when it comes to campaign financing well there's individual money public money political. party money hard money soft money matching funds political action committees and t.v. advertising paid and promotions paid for by outside groups corporations and labor unions with their own agenda in fact in two thousand and eight president obama agr

exceptionalism. us on willlhe has make us just as exceptional as greece. friends, our country is better than that . we have to stand together. we can confront the problem and we can achieve lasting reform. and i can tell you from hard earned experience with bombs and bruises along the way, the road ahead is not easy. you will be demonized. they'll mock you. they will make things up. it will tell you to go to hell. so we will not respond, as tempting as it is, to anyone that has disdain for our free market economy and for individual initiative. we will say -- we won't say, no, you go to hello. . we won't say that. you know why we do not have to say that? when we have time tested truth and logic on our side, we win. and when we refuse to retreat because we know that our children's future is at stake, we win. no, the road is not easy, but it is nothing compared to the suffering and sacrifice of those who came before us. a few weeks ago, after my visit to the iowa state fair, we were on the bus tour. i t

arion exceptionalism and not just here in the united states they condemn to countries that engage in imperialism and having gauged in colonialism and we don't like being called on our mistakes and certainly we don't like being told that we're not for example treating african americans in the united states in a respectful fashion i will we have african-americans with one twentieth the wealth of white americans lower wages facing discrimination less likely to get hired more likely to die sooner and live sicker so we have a lot of racism in the united states that aside from the question of israel we don't want to participate because it makes us look bad and we don't like being told that even though you know we're we're great in many ways we have some shortcomings as a nation as speaking of last night we. executed a black man convicted of killing a white off duty police officer despite numerous doubts and his case there was no physical evidence that's just one example of course there was that last minute plea to the supreme court to halt his execution it was denied he had appealed he had

christie's address tonight is entitled "real american exceptionalism." deliberately leaked prepared remarks indicate christie will criticize domestic political conduct of late and encourage leaders to confront economic challenges. today, the biggest challenge we must meet is the one we present to ourselves, to not become a nation that places entitlement ahead of accomplishment, to not become a country that places comfortable lies ahead of difficult truths. to not become a people that thinks so little of ourselves that we demand no sacrifice from each other. we are a better people than that and we must demand a better nation than that. the speech comes one day after former new jersey governor and christie confidant, tom cane, reignited christie campaign chatter by telling "the national review" that christie is very seriously considering a bid for president. it's real, kean says. he's giving it a lot of thought. i think the odds are a lot better now than they were a couple weeks ago. christie knows running for president provokes a very different level of m
