that sounds great, but that's a utopia. somebody has to pay for that.s solution, unlike andrew cuomo's, is to take from one person and give to another. martha: is that right, jeff me? -- jehmu? >> if utopia is going to exist anywhere, it should exist in new york city. >> it's not realistic. martha: there's two ways to get at income inequality, one is to spread it out. of we heard the president talking about that since joe the plumber, right if if you've done well, you deserve to spread it out, the other way is to try to improve the economy from the ground up so that everybody starts to do better. those are the two philosophies. do you think it's right for people to have more of hair money taken away and -- their money taken away and given to other people? >> well, martha, we have to look at the fact that worker productivity -- martha: are you going to answer my question? do you think it's right, though, jehmu? are you okay with that? that's the question. >> have not districted the wealth and the productivity of the companies that are being, you know, bu

russia's foreign ministers again called against taking a one sided view of the unrest in ukraine utopias can offer reports from germany. clearly the west has already taken the side of the protests or so u.s. secretary of state john kerry said that the time has come for you have to decide whether it's what one country or what the rest of the world and he added that washington supports the people of ukraine but some have been calling this a one sided approach and criticizing it including russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov. there are some fundamental questions that need to be answered in particular about the situation in ukraine how does fuelling street riots that are becoming more and more violent to promote democracy why is there no condemnation of the b.c.g. even still occupying government buildings were those who burned police officers shot racist anti-semitic and nazi slogans why do many leading european politicians encourage such actions while any violations of the law and homes are dealt with harshly some strong words there from russia's chief diplomat also added joking that nex

comment they actually are putting forth the plan becaus i don't think it is time to go back to the utopiae health care system that we had. neil: they did have plans. the president and want to take a lot of them because it incled tort refm and the like. >> the health care law obviously isn't perfect. i think there should be tort reform and i'm a big dubious about what this will be. i think they have plenty of portunities to put those fora. and i think that we should look at it. it's not that easy to ensure a lot of people have pre-existing conditions covered and not have an individual mandate which was in the mitt romney plan. so if i'm a little bit skeptical about what we will see from house rrepublicans. neil: the are differences on how to provide that coverage and whether it is a table single payer type system. but the ultimate issue is a fair one. where it's hard to argue it has been proposed or ignored over the last five years. so here we are now the republicans seem to be saying this thing is unworkable or irreparable, i should say. so we might as well stop and start anew. the presid

. >> it seems utopia. >> we have the same problems as anybody, but we try to solve them in a differenthe sort of challenges by embracing people as much as we can. and trying to make space as much as we can. >> do we have two peas ready for table four? can i go over that now? >> yes. >> extraordinary. i was reading something that's very un-american in its concept, which is don't be afraid to fail. >> yeah. when we did this issue, to us, it was a very big moment. we burnt it by mistake. we thought okay, it's a mistake. let's see what happens. we cooked it. then we had a new paste, a new sort of spice for us. >> that's indescribably delicious. all cook books, particularly american cook books, are written from the point of view that if you only follow this recipe, it will turn out great. >> you're safe. this is what we try to talk about every day in the kitchen with the cooks on saturday night projects. >> apparently this is when you invite members of your crew to put up a new dish for comment. >> after each grueling workweek concludes, cooks from every level of the brigade stay late to su

. >> if they were -- that it could be done better, but a utopia only exists in fiction.ir lives in fiction. they make their money doing things, acting out fictional things. i wanted to say, access to a free media and to the internet, to television news, all sorts of diverse opinions is the only way to guarantee a country to be able to fight for their own freedoms to make their own decisions. and america should be helping them rather than just saying they are concerned. that's what we said. >> real quick, about sean penn. i will say this on his behalf. he's one of the few people who didn't abandon haiti. he goes back and tries to help the people. otherwise, he's enjoying a personal life with charlize. >> a lot of people do that in haiti. >> sure, he said where he is. >> to bob's comnltd. think about this, give me one socialist government that ever wo worked. name one. >> france. >> socialist. >> that's what -- you keep throwing the word socialist around. >> you're going to say there's no capitalism in france? >> of course, there is, but it's side by side. >> i have to go,

welcome to obama's utopia where real work dies just like brill cream and ulcers. whether in government, academia or media no one knows how stuff is made. it's all done by invisible workfaries and in fantasy land everyone is a student and enjoying a latte, a community organizer collecting signatures against a bad thing, a feminist blogger upending patriarchy and a bisexual artist painting with bodily fluids. not a real job in sight because those aren't cool. how can liberals deny their ideological victory? why not embrace it. you chipped away at the poll work of the american soul, all out of historical amnesia fueled by bitter envy. in the olympics of decline we have chosen east germany. we knew the american dream defined of achievement through effort is now a joke. more than one in six men in their prime are jobless. that's 10.4 million. now that most are looking for work the government doesn't even call them unemployed. congrats, president obama. you built that. bob, you sound -- >> that so sucked. it's beyond belief. >> well, i'll let you respond to that. here's

this is an administration that is living in utopia. what we've seen is that putin has been elevated well beyond what his capabilities really should be, and we're looking at the consequences of that being played out in the ukraine. there's very little that we can do to influence an outcome today. it's a question we've been asking ourselves ever since the speech that he gave in egypt about the so-called arab spring. >> right. >> the aftermath of all of that has been disastrous for our country. so this is a president who needs to stop talking and start acting very quietly. >> that's interesting because a lot of people have criticized the president for not talking enough, for sort of coming late to the game and putting out a statement like they did this morning instead of being, i guess, more aggressive on it. but is he in a no-win situation? if he's more aggressive, people don't like it. if he's not aggressive, people don't like it. your thoughts? >> there's no doubt he's in a terrible situation but a situation of his own creation. look,

i have written a book called searching for utopia and that's it be on a two-year journey, 27,000 miles. if i learned anything it is the thorny thorny mess and the minefields of racial debate in this country. now in this moment we find ourselves really in the sensational gossipy elements of race and television also we will find ourselves debating did paula deen get along with her manservant or what is up with that dynasty and how do we have these influences? what ian does is to contribute to the debate in a very deep and meaningful way with a book that is just beautifully and richly written. the only thing i will say about it before i turn it over it is if you imagine to ask the seas and on one axis is a white middle class and on another axis is racial politics. you can imagine en's book telling us precisely how that is connected and why it matters to us, all of us. without further ado to lead us in this conversation to learn more is the vice president of outreach and demos and a frequent commentator on "msnbc" so again everybody thank you for coming.
