professor peterson, you saw this film as well.e us your siskel & ebert -- we know they're dead, siskel is dead, but we respect them. >> of course. >> give us your analysis of that film. >> well, i think it's a powerful film. i think it will go down in history as maybe even a classic film. i think it has its limitations and certain folk have pointed that out. i think the women characters in there are pretty flat. although i don't think it's sort of a tight slave history, there are certain things historically that are really, really powerful. a lot of the props are really, really powerful. i don't want to -- spoiler alert here, but all of the sort of the chains and the masks and the different ways in which through the props they demonstrate the brutality of slavery are fairly accurate and important. and to be honest with you, it is powerful to see a black man win in that kind of narrative. and i hate to reduce it to that, but he wins. you know, he keeps his dignity. he saves the love of his life. and he's also able to escape essenti

peterson makes a superb point.resident clinton used to say if you want to live like a republican, vote for a democrat because they will give you better economics. and the fact of the matter here is if you poll economists, they will tell you that raising the rates on this top 2% has virtually no impact but when you begin to go after the mortgage deduction, when you begin to go after chair itses, that's when you have some economic chill you bring into the economy. so isn't it strange that the republicans and conservatives have said that obama doesn't understand the impact of fax policy on the economy whereas almost all economists are saying the obama approach is far superior to that that the republicans offer. >> thank you both for joining us on this friday afternoon. >>> next, if reagan could, why not colbert. why south carolina should seriously consider it. stay with us. >> new york post, are we ready for senator colbert? are we ready? sfx- "sounds of african drum and flute" look who's back. again? it's embarrassin

was part of that organization yet the peterson is the co-founder so blackstone was co-founded by shorts man and peterson and and you know by the way like i think that both of them are very very able businessmen and i think they founded a very very effective private equity firm i think that you know the fact that steve schwarzman party became symbolic of you know sort of the fabulous wealth generated in this era in a way is less about schwartzman and blackstone and more about the phenomenon that i dwell on in my book which is you know as in the nineteenth century we're living in this time of tremendous economic change and overall i actually think that it is benign i'm in favor of the technology revolution i'm in favor of globalization but i think we do need to pull back and really face the fact that there are some winners the not just the one percent but the zero point one percent the zero point zero one percent those at the very very top are doing extremely well and there are also some losers and the biggest losers are the people in the middle class in the western industrialized countri

the manning -- i think the adrian peterson/peyton manning story is absolutely just fobl.. >> but to come back that strong for manning to come back that strong and transform the entire franchise for adrian peterson to be knocking on the door of a record is phenomenal beyond sports. it's about digging deep overcoming beating the odds. >> i mean this adrian peterson stories, this takes two years. >> i mean the thing is he -- i don't know -- i mean i knew a little about adrian peterson but the determination, like that two years and you're going have a modest -- your career will be okay. to come back with this kind of ferociousness, i think it's -- and peyton too. i don't think you can underplay that. to go to another franchise and completely transform the culture of that, i think is great. >> speaking of determination and going to another franchise, i look at tim tebow as kind of the opposite where the wind completely came out of his sails. i saw "tim teblows his top." what ease the what's the deal with him and sanchez? >> and the jets. this year they couldn't get enough abou
