he goes to suny, old westbury. fewer than half of students graduate and fewer than half the minority students graduate . heads of state to albany the overall graduation rate is 70 percent and 75 percent of minority students graduate so he's got a 50 percent better chance of graduating and one of the hopes that i have in this book is that you can get parents and students who think about lots of things whether it's sushi bars or the quality of their major to decide on a college, just pay attention to the likelihood that they willmake it out the other end they on what the data looks like . if you had high schools with the same graduation rate as public universities, public university graduation rate is 50 percent. high school would be labeled a dropout factory, principals would be looking for other employment but there is no accountability in higher education. nobody loses a job because of the fact that statistics are as grim as they are. so i teach public policy and public policy is all about solutions. if i was a so

we put the sons of iraq on our payroll, a suny militia. we've got to realize if we want long-term stability in the region yes we've got to have a military footprint but it comes through diplomacy and american leadership. >> at this moment that military footprint is in jeopardy. the iraqi parliament -- the iraqi prime minister and president have both condemned the air strikes, yet another militia leader. there is good reason on a vote essentially to boot out american military presence in iraq. >> and we've seen that before. after this decision this is donald trump's middle east. this is decision of incredible consequence. i believe as a member of congress we do have a be respectful of the fact they claim they have intelligence, although every day we go without seeing it, i grow suspicious. but with that being said this will only get more complicated, and we need to have a plan for deescalation, not a plan for escalation. >> final question, is what has -- the u.s. done in the last two days, escalation or deescalation? >> well, it depends bec

decapitation of hussein's government let loose in iraq, a lot of the old rivalries from mesopotamia suny versus rural, tribal versus urban, many, many fissures within society in mesopotamia. iran tried to take advantage of that and work very hard to insinuate people who supported iran, people who support the leadership of the country by the religious leadership into the andership inside iraq, soleimani as he took over the forces, worked hard to create in iraq, security structures, which mirrored what had been created under this vomit republic. you saw the creation of -- you saw the creation of malicious, finding american forces through the department of american forces through 2011. you saw thetime, attempts by people in iraq who were either nationalists -- shiite nationalists or pro-iranian in their outlook to put into government positions, especially in the second tenure of an official, people who were sympathetic to iran. democracy inew the iraq, the impact on decision-making today. american forces left the country in 2011. again, there was a bit of a power struggle among iraqis, wher

didn't know that. 15 of the 19 hijackers were from suny saudi arabia.one were from shiite iran but if you say so, mr. unnamed cia official, i'm a happy to send my kid to the middle east a week after christmas on the basis of your ottoman's unverified leak to "the new york times." you've earned my trust through years of lying to me. that appears to be rfid position now. maybe all this will turn out fine in the end. we are certainly praying for you. we love this country.fo but in the meantime, pardon the skepticism. interbase if it knows a lot about war, an officer in the vietnam war in 1970, president of the quincy institute for responsible statecraft. he is author of the book "the age of illusions:how america squandered its victory" and you may know he has a personal understanding of the toll of war, his son was killed during the iraq war in 2007. andrew joins us tonight, thanks so much for coming on. >> glad to be with you. >> tucker: so we for a moment today learned that the united states was at the request of the iraqi parliament pulling out of iraq,

so on either side of them, surrounded by what could be perceived as enemies, suni extremists on the leftof iran, to the east and west of iran and in the persian gulf states, again, people that were antagonistic mainly because of its shiaa expansionists ie deologys. they decided they will have influence in those countries, and we helped that by getting rid of the taliban which was one big enemy on your flank and getting rid of saddam hussein. they saw an opportunity to cultivate the shiaa's, which they did. syria is a different story. that's also part of their influence across the region into lebanon where they supported hezbollah. again, the ties are very close from a religious standpoint, as you know. so, yeah, their doctrine is mainly they claim it is defensive. but it is in some ways, the iranian people see it as defense. they saw he was fighting isis, for example, which actually did penetrate iran and conduct an attack on their parliament and killed some of their people in iran. again, soleimani had a different kind of reputation than other irgc commanders would have. >> all right. a

the region consisting of suni led arab states. i think it would be very important -- reducing the iranian influence in that country, which continues to be maligned and continues to be problematic. i'll say one more thing about the nuclear deal. i really think the president needs to kind of look very hard about where we're going with that. we created enormous problems with our allies, and i think he ought to really take another look. you know, he's not just going to accept what was done by the -- by president obama, but i think he could accept some -- some -- the basic idea of the thing and perhaps with some improvement. so i hope he's open to sort of third country mediation. apparently macron has been interested in this, even the japanese prime minister abe. and i hope the president looks for that. i hope we don't get into the syndrome where we think iran is the root of all problems in the world and we want to somehow change the regime. ultimately that's something the iranian people need to figure out. so i hope we can kind of dia

says is just not the way to ratchet this thing back because i think in the end iraq he's especially sunis and kurds but even many shia know they don't really want to be on their own dealing with isis on one side and iran on the other and no other counterweight or friends to speak of so they're interested some kind of compromise i believe and if we can just cool the whole thing down and have the conversation discreetly and diplomatically and perhaps figure out how we're not going to have to have a repeat of all the events of recent weeks partly by the iraqis protecting us bases on their own sartori better than they have so far i believe we should be able to find a compromise but it's going to take old fashioned diplomacy and statesmanship of a type that seems pretty lacking in both countries at the moment hasn't the horse bolted in one regard mr trump news conference inside the white house won't 3 hours ago now saying he doesn't want to leave iraq because that would give iran a foothold in iraq with the death of cinema any that soul ready happened. well iran has been influential in iraq fo

as a state senator, controller, and most recently chairman of the suny board of trustees, karl mccall, we're going to miss you. let's show him our appreciation. [ applause ] >> karl mccall also whooped me in a race for governor. and senator betty little, a school teacher who answered the call to public service over 30 years ago, with principaled decency and compassion, that's what betty little is all about, the longest serving female republican senator ever, 18 years. [ applause ] >> betty little will be missed by everyone. myself included. i would like to welcome one final guest, 11 days ago, we saw our worst fears realized in muncie when five innocents were attacked and injured when we heart from rabbi rottenburg, one still in critical condition, but we also saw the strength to fight back, when a man stepped forward and put his own life at risk, to save others, and took on and thwarted the machete-wielding attacker. we applaud his heart, his courage. he is the definition of new york bravery. he's here with us today. let's recognize joseph. [ applause ] >> they've been recognized but

number two, the suni awakening predated the surge by probably about a year, well into 2006. you begin to get the swinging of tribes, and that was obviously before the surge. so there is a sunni part of this. argument toe's an be made that a lot of the sectarian violence was beginning to burn out, that mixed sectarian neighborhoods, especially in baghdad, had essentially been cleansed by the summer of 2007, when the last surge brigade arrived. that's not a very attractive policy option, to essentially cleanse these mixed neighborhoods, but i think a lot of that had already taken place by the time the surge got there. finally, i think we give too little credit to the joint special operations command's impact on the major accelerant to sectarian violence, and that zarqawicampaign against and al qaeda in iraq. so these were the folks who were pouring gasoline, essentially, on these sectarian fires. so all these other effects or other causes i think have a role to play in what dave petraeus and ryan crocker were able to observe when they went back on labor day weekend in septembe

they are just going to give it to the suny college and say here's extra money we made from putting taxelf who want to enjoy an ice-cold beverage. this is ridiculous and i won't stand for it. neil: wow. wow. >> a tax you're against? neil: it seems what they are doing is raising, it's 14 cents, they want to bring it to 30, they are using a portion of that for this. but i know how this kind of stuff goes. even if you are assuming it's going to make its way to ease college cost pressures, it skips that. >> oh, yeah, doubling taxes on beer and then picking this targeted feel-good industry, oh, the college kids are going to help out, this is just opening the door for all sorts of special interests. we are going to tax this industry, give -- rob paul to pay peter. this is a total disaster. we need to lower the beer tax from 14 cents to zero. zero cents. >> let's get that wine tax, too, though. neil: that's the idea. >> they want to double it and make it what wine tax is. as a wine drinker, not a beer drinker, like quite a few women are, i do think that could be a sexist tax, the wine tax is a

nonbinding vote and there were several members of parliament that did not vote including some of the sunishe post, when i say that, i mean the new york post, but anyway, the post is running a piece and i'm just wondering -- any of these targets that we're talking about, we had a false sense of security before 9/11 and we still have that -- i don't know whether it's false anymore. i heard about sleeper cells but you know what, we heard there were 5,000 sleeper cells after 9/11 and i'm not sure how many there were or may or may not have been. do you think there's anything to an attack on our homeland? dhs has definitely ramped up their surveillance of things. >> sure. >> but do you think that iran would try to strike us in the homeland here? >> two things, if question is a what is possible and b, what would the iranians decide is in their best interest to do, right? does iran want to escalate this even further to an attack inside the united states. that would be a big escalation but we saw the united states engage in a big escalation last week so escalations happen. the question is, you know
