colonial rule it was up to the eyes by many to from the moment such as put in since the moment done on jindal and others where the british were trying to beat them fold over our production systems on agriculture and so on. and then on the budget especially in his book in swat eyes and then in the moment but what's important is to realize that it's not just about india's independence from colonial rule about a nation's independence. it's actually much more about an individual and of communities hard on me and freedom but responsibility to other peoples and other communities autonomy and freedom which means it encompasses a deeply ethical we'll being of living it encompasses my self restraint so that i don't impinge on the rights of others to live. in india the concept of love there was apparent has been taken all the state from the west in that. since and we have imposed it all successive governments have been boys did either to state socialism or now increasingly to capitalism means that g.d.p. growth has to happen at any cost which means you can cut down for those who can. bring out over to

somebody like bobby jindal. marco rubio, who was on the cover of "time" magazine literally as the savior. and tim scott i think is the latest iteration of that. we'll see what his future is. there's been all sorts of speculation that maybe he wants to run for higher office. he, of course, gave a fulsome speech about donald trump at his nominating convention, and he is an historic figure. i thought his delivery was great. i thought he was not great in terms of the facts. he on the one hand said that, you know, america is not a racist country and then described racist things that happened to him. so there was that. but, listen, i think the focus is really on biden. this is an extraordinary moment in american history to have an american president talk about racism as much as he does, talk about systemic racism as much as he does. and then the idea that the federal government can move to redress some of those historic wrongs that obviously have modern-day, present-day implications. >> amanda, listen, let's talk abou

it did not do that for marco rubio or bobby jindal. what do you think it does for tim scott? the rebuttal is very, very hard and only somebody with oratorical skills. >> greg: you don't want some help from me. i will say something terrible. >> dana: yes, no doubt he is now elevated. everybody is talking about him. sometimes, unfortunately trending negatively with racial slur will elevate you, for example kamala harris was asked about his comments last night. by robin roberts on "good morning america," tim said it's not a racist country. what do you think? she said i agree this is not a racist country but we have issues we have to deal with. and what is tim scott doing, he is actually going up rolling up his sleeves and working on racism. it definitely elevates him. it is interesting somebody in the media had that reaction. last night, first of all, peter was really annoying me because before hand, flipping through the channels, talk about the netflix serving a little bit. and then i have to watch the speech. he read a book and then from the peanut gallery. let's just say some

position is littered with people remembered for the wrong thing on responses, marco rubio, bobby jindalr those responses but that speech, that hit a note. >> the reason senators and scott resonates with so many people is he is sincere and that comes through. it is a difficult job always to be the person who follows a joint address to congress but he talked about science, he said science tells us kids need to be in school. he said children like me are the ones getting hurt the most by not being in school, education is the closest thing to magic, he talked about the jobs plan president biden just laid out saying it would kill jobs and shrink the economy, he said it would put washington more in the center of your life, talked about a lot, talked about race, he didn't like the way race is being used to divide people in this country, he said you can't fight discrimination with other discrimination which is so much of what we talked about that is going on a lot of schools, to put a bow on it at the end, should be a joyful springtime in this country, he had a positive uplifting message at the

embarrass himself like some who have had to deliver the state of the union rebuttal, remember, bobby jindalrom before after he did so and when marco rubio had his infamous water glass gaffe. but while his performance was fine, the messaging is suspect, because it doesn't quite stick. and president biden, the last thing he is doing here is presenting to be a divisive figure. now, you could certainly object to some of the things he is proposing in terms of the merits of policy, but it's been a deliberate effort here by the white house to try to lower the temperature. to see just how the country was torn apart, culminating on january 6th, by former president trump. and how this president is trying to be far less in your face, far less of a dominating the national consciousness than his predecessor. trying to sort of reach across the aisle. he is, indeed, deliberately quieter but that doesn't mean he's trying to be, in fact, far more serious. and he is trying to work out in a bipartisan fashion. now, let's be clear here. let's be candid in our assessment. not a single republican voted for the c
