. >> if you walked into the south bronx, you would be surprised. very different from any other area. you got to be careful when you're walking down the street. to be able to read is the most wonderful thing ever. when you're reading, it's like you're in another world, and you're seeing something from somebody else's eyes. if you hand me a book, and you say it's a good book, i'll read it, just to see how good it is. last year, i read 325 books. and i read thick chapter books like chapters that are up to 30, 40. i read really big books. the thing i love most about reading is the ability to have knowledge about certain things and knowledge is power. the most important thing that i need to do to accomplish my dreams is to get to college. without education you'll just be a nobody. i believe i can accomplish anything, as long as i believe that i can do it. >> if snappy putdowns were an olympic sport, then this guy would be a gold medalist. i'll tell you why, when "teen kids news" returns. n't focus. i was always interrupting my t eammates. earlier in my

that is the hip-hop narrative from the south bronx in the 70's to today.i googled hamilton hip-hop and it was not there. now you will see my show, but that was the first thing that jumped out at me. this was a fundamental hip-hop story. charlie: i'm just like my country. and i am not throwing away my shot. [laughter] is that what the president responded to what he said that tim geithner should see this? >> this is my first time performing this song in public. they asked me to perform something and i said i have the first treasury secretary. they allowed me to close out the show with that. he said that somebody ought to get geithner in here. i think he had a quote at that time because the economic crisis, everything had just blown up. he said tim geithner has the hardest job since alexander hamilton. i think it was his quote on the record of what tim geithner had ahead of him. and so, they were just figuring out how to do this and how to get us out of the hole we were in. i think he was tickled by the fact that i made a treasury secretary saying. and that s

indeed governor morris who drafted the united states constitution and owned the south bronx, his father's will provided any amount of money necessary to educate anywhere in the world except for the colony of connecticut where the people hide behind god but really are abrisionest criminals. he didn't use the word criminals. if there was that kind of prejudice between the bronx and connecticut you can imagine the attitude new englanders had towards southerners and southerners had towards new england. what held united states together after 1783? it is very fragile believe me. a national debt $25 million. a common language. and the pride in having defeated the strongest military and especially naval power in the world. well we're going to govern this country. we had a constitution. it was called the articles of confederation. it made the states supreme over the federal government. it was ratified in 1781. it granted the united states of america power over foreign affairs, war and a post office. that was it. if congress wanted money which it needed it had to recwisition it from the states. so

i'm from the south bronx. i know what it's like to live as a child in a very poor neighborhood.ill say one thing that i did feel when i was here in baltimore is this inequality this racial inequality i felt the economic inequality. just driving through the neighborhoods it felt very much like you could go to the inner harbor and have a beautiful lunch at this really upscale restaurant and then drive through neighborhoods where people were starving. and today in the united states is that a place where we should be? so that i think, is one of the root causes of what we saw and that's something that needs to be addressed. >> don't forget the politics. this is a nine to one democratic town. they put signs in the last gubernatorial election that said in the black neighborhood upwardly mobile liberty heights, vote for the democrats. are you serious? that is the best you're going to tell grown people? the last thing on north avenue of significance is ehrlich spear throwing for gingrich and put 100 million there. why did black democrats ignore? >> interesting. i got to leave it there. t

so we started looking for a school for her and i live in the south bronx and was committed to sending her to a public school. i wanted to send her to our neighborhood school which was right on the block which was a beautiful idea. send your kid a amok with him to school however when i went i actually put her in a school i was to say the least super disappointed because basically school, her first school experience was basically one of massive amounts of homework, sitting at a desk listening to a teacher talk at the front for a 15 minute blocks of time. no recess. if they were good at the end of the day they would get to do choice time which to me was what most of the school day should've consisted of which was playing which is how i think young kids actually learn. so it was not a great experience for her. she was super sad. she would wake up every morning and say that her stomach hurt, that she fell sick and it was clear to me that there was something going on that i needed to address. and i think what i came to understand was that it wasn't just her classroom or her particular teach
