aliens showed up promising utopia. a very strange, promising universal health care, green energy and public-works projects. it got people concerned that somehow this was a comment on the obama administration. anyway, this is the kind of fallacy that people would give away their freedom for the sake of this material utopia. .. >> guest: you know, there's a danger, but i don't see the harm that would be done. i have an introduction that discusses the book and explains why, in fact, a model of intention is a little naive. very often we have the notion that there's a single author who must have everything planned out in advance. one thing identify learned -- i've learned about television particularly, but movies as well, is they are collaborative ventures, and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. writers, we have the fiction that a tv show's written by the one writer who gets the screen credit. in fact, as with movies, whole teams write these shows, and i've talked to some writers. they play off each other. they

this is the conservative utopia. an entire city is decimated after spending decades in service to a major industry which is manufacturing. none of these conservatives are going to go out and bail out detroit who helped out the able industry. they're not going to do that the same way they did the able industry. in fact, detroit gets less financial help from the federal government than the country of colombia who we help out all the time. the united states will be sending colombia about $323 million next year while detroit is slated to get less than $109 million. they've already said they will use that for bulldozing communities. the stock market is seeing record highs and major company are celebrating big sales. that's good for america. where is the investment in american workers? we're just going to let an entire city just go off into the dust. because some democrats were in charge of pension plans and fair wages in america. but now it is the big banks. they are now asking the judge for first dibs on the city's tax d
