when four years later sarah palin game, had been upgraded roebuck cost and. and i stood outside the hamburg we were waiting for a bus to arrive. the reason i went to thailand from the build one mistake. it needs to have a simpler message. .. to hd video like cheap consumer quality video camera just so we could document it because i also knew that you know blogs or possibly news outlets would be more likely to publish a story if it was embeddable. so basically max films me as michele bachmann as she got off the bus and michele bachmann not only are you a robo folk or a homophobe but you are a robo folk. i will not leave until you support equal rights for human and robots so i follow her in and i only last about a minute. i start yeah people start chanting go back in the closet. go back in the closet. and i responded i cannot help myself. i was programmed to do this. and then the manager working at the time said could you please leave? i felt bad for her especially in i said of course and so i left. i was spoken to by the iowa city to lease officer who told me

i ordered a hatchery from the sears roebuck store. most of you remember the sears roebuck catalog? it was that thick book. the heavy book. people have different names for. boy, i wanted to be a minister. from time to time, to help with my brother and sisters, we forgot about chickens. my brothers and sisters and cousins lines outside the chicken yard. they made up the audience. i would speak and preach. when i look back on this, the chickens would bow their heads. some of them would shake their heads. they never quite said a man. i am convinced that the great majority of those chickens that i preach to tended to listen to me much better than some of my colleagues listen to me today in congress will stop some of those chickens were more productive. at least they produce eggs. [applause] today, on this day, i want to tell you a story or two. when i was visiting the little visitf troy, when i would i saw signs that said white men, colored men, white women, colored women. i would ask my mother and my father and my grandparents, why? they said, that is the way it is. do not get in troub

our worry is that america is like sears roebuck. it thought it was a reward. beyond that, the worst kind of contest to be in is one you do not know you are in a contest. they aren't aware of what is happening in asia. >> what are the choices for america? thate choice for america's it is in a contest. america has had a very easy time of it being the top nation for a long time. i think it has become a bit apathetic about government. the right things government is a bad thing. the state needs to be gotten rid of. the left seems to think government is a good thing, we should protect everything that is there. you need to go through a process of reinvention. it is hard to do. you have a political situation in washington whereby everything is an ideological battle. many solutions we talk about our pragmatic. >> do you think they're looking for new models? you look at stake capitalism in china. , that is better model the thing about democracy. they can have elections in certain areas of the country. >> this contest matters not to the point of view of the general rule

pressure, and as we say it is a global contest, and our worry is that america is a bit like sears, roebuck who, years ago, thought it was just battling montgomery ward. in fact, it was wal-mart and beyond it amazon, and the worst kind of contest to be in is one where you don't know you're in a contest. america is slightly in that position. it isn't really aware of what's happening in asia, the focus on government out there. >> charlie: so what are the choices for america? >> well, i think the choice for america is to realize it is in a contest. america has had a very easy time of it in some ways. it's been the top nation for a long time, and i think it's become a li bit apathetic about government. the right tends to think the government is the bad thing, the state needs to be gotten rid of. the left thinks the government is a good thing, we should protect everything that's there, and i think you need to slim it and make it more effective. >> charlie: and there is paralysis. >> it's very hard to do. you have a situation in washington where everything has turned into an ideological battle an
