. >> i want to bring in nick kristof and look at the cover this week. the agents of outrage.e'll talk about that, as well. couldn't be happier to have the two of you and your expertise in this area. i want to start with what happened in libya and give us your perspective. these assailants were heavily armed. it they seemed to be organized. does it seem to you perhaps to have been timed for 9/11, was it an attack of opportunity? >> i really don't know. but it is unusual in that libya is really the most pro american country in the region. the ambassador was be loved in libya. he had helped save benghazi, the city in which he was murdered. and libya as responded pretty appropriately. the government immediately condemned the attack, you have ordinary libyans apologizing for it. the real failure here has been in egypt where president morsi has been awol. >> what do you make of the president's comments, well, you know, friend or foe, well, neither really. >> i think that what you're seeing is what we knew was going to happen after the arab spring. there was going to be a period whe

as we get ian lee ready, i'm joined by nick kristof here, columnist for the "new york times," a man who has spent a lot of times covering the arab spring and now, thinking about the tragedy that has happened in cairo and libya, which we're going to talk more t i a moment. what is your reaction to how this seems to be escalating? >> i think the thing that strikes me the most is that at least in the libyan government, you have a real sense of people apologizing and people trying to prevent it from happening again. trying to crack down the perpetrators. in egypt, you have a government that is waffling. hasn't been living out to its responsibilities to protect people and it has been appealing to the crowds. >> we have ian as well. what can you tell us is happening on the ground right now in cairo outside the u.s. embassy? >> reporter: right now, we have protesters and police squaring off, molotov cocktails, throwing between the protesters and the police. not many protesters, but definitely enough to create a large disturbance and we're seeing the two go head to head. these are definitely mo

nick kristof is a two-time pulitzer prize for the "new york times." e you, nick. >> good to see you. >> you say america's education system is just transmitting inequity from one generation to another. that's why we need school reform. did we get it in chicago? >> we're inching toward it. one of the things i think the chicago debate really underscored is the degree to which the democratic party has been separating itself from teacher unions and gradually embracing the mantle of education reform and school reform, so we're making mild steps toward it, but there's a long way to go. >> i want to you listen to the president of the teachers union after this deal was struck in chicago. >> this sort of idea of corporate efficiency that's been pushed toward schools, that's a problem for us. so it's not good for kids. i think people don't seem to understand that. >> so nick, in the private sector we're graded on results. the teachers say that just doesn't work in education. and one of the reasons they are working in schools with high levels of poverty, so it's d
