the fact that we were able to accomplish this says a lot about our country and our perseverance. i think you can fairly say that the victims in this country on 9/11, the americans who were victims, were not republicans or democrats. they were americans. those who had been working on this diligently for 9.5 years, not republicans or democrats. they are americans. those who carried out the mission yesterday, the same thing can be said about them. 1 think you'll like it here from the president tonight is the capacity of americans to come together and achieve a very difficult goals when we work together.

harvard and yale and princeton and the greatest schools in america but those who work very hard and persevered i think the key thing is more and more people i talk to about this and give the credit to tom friedman who talked about this, the love of the ability to learn. because the stuff we all learned in college is not really relevant to today. and even if you're an engineer, you have to be able to keep learning and have that sort of love of learning. >> the process of learning. chris: thank you so much for that, mike duffy. >> you absolutely do. chris: we're not going to the university of phoenix in 20 years? >> we hope these universities and colleges are around in years. that's the challenge for america. chris: tell meometh [ asst mgr ] what are you doing? fixing the name. it's fiber none. looks like one. well, i know. i put an "n" there. ah! fiber one honey clusters cereal! that's really good! it tastes good, so there can't be fiber in it! it's actually got about half a day's worth of fiber.
