GOOD MORNING. I GET TO MODERATE THIS MORNING'S CONVERSATION, AND I JUST WARCHTNT YOU TO KNOW THE FORMAT... |
| 00:43:21 |
|
I THINK THEY'RE LINKED IN MANY WAYS. FOR A LONG TIME I HARBORED A BELIEF THAT IF WE DIDN'T DO SOMETHING... |
| 00:46:41 |
|
CHANCELLOR KLEIN, JUAN WILLIAMS OBVIOUSLY RAISED THE RACIAL AND CLASS ISSUE, BUT I'D ASK YOU TO JUST... |
| 00:47:13 |
|
I DON'T THINK SO, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU CAN UNDERSTATE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN SLASH... |
| 00:48:52 |
|
WHERE IS THE POLITICAL WILL? GOVERNOR ROMER. |
| 00:48:57 |
|
IT'S NOT THERE, AND I THINK WE HAVE A REAL SEVERE BLACK/BROWN PROBLEM IN TERMS OF THE INHE CANEQUITY.... |
| 00:51:15 |
|
IF I JUST MAY MAKE ONE POINT. WE ARE DOING ALL OF THIS IN THE FACE OF A DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE THIS... |
| 00:52:16 |
|
LET ME ASK YOU THE QUESTION, BUSINESS HAS REALLY BEEN A LEADER IN POINTING AT THE FAILURES OF OUR... |
| 00:52:32 |
|
WELL, FIRST, LET ME NOT RUN AWAY FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY'VE DONE AS... |
| 00:53:49 |
|
SECRETARY? |
| 00:53:52 |
|
YOU KNOW, ROY, BASICALLY WE'RE FAT, DUMB, AND HAPPY AS A COUNTRY, AS SIMPLE AS THAT. AND ROY SAID,... |
| 00:55:46 |
|
THAT'S RIGHT. AND IT IS GREAT TO GET EXCITED AND TALK ABOUT IT AND HAVE A LOT OF CHEERLEADING. YOU'VE... |
| 00:56:10 |
|
CHANCELLOR? |
| 00:56:12 |
|
WHAT WE REALLY NEED IS TO GET VERY SERIOUS ABOUT A FEW SPECIFICS. FIRST OF ALL, MARGARET IS RIGHT,... |
| 00:58:48 |
|
THIS IS GREAT. GIVE HIM A HAND. [ APPLAUSE ] I'D LIKE TO AGREE WITH HIM. I WANT TO GET THERE, NATIONAL... |
| 00:58:58 |
|
WHEN YOU'RE MY AGE, YOU'LL BE THERE. |
| 00:59:04 |
|
I'LL BE 80 IN OCTOBER. I'M NOT THERE YET. |
| 00:59:07 |
|
YOU HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. |
| 00:59:09 |
|
LOOK, THAT'S ONE WAY, ONE GOAL. I HAVE MADE A POLITICAL JUDGMENT THAT THAT'S NOT DOABLE NOW IN THESE... |
| 01:00:42 |
|
I WANT TO TELL A COUPLE ANECDOTES. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I GUESS IT WAS, ALL THE NATION'S GOVERNORS... |
| 01:02:50 |
|
BUT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, MARGARET. I MEAN, IN NEW YORK IS HE, WE HAVE PUT A... |
| 01:03:04 |
|
AND YOU'RE ONE IN 15,000, JOEL. |
| 01:03:08 |
|
BUT THAT'S THE REAL ACTION, WHAT MICHELLE IS DOING HERE, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DENVER, |
| 01:03:12 |
|
THREE, FOUR. |
| 01:03:13 |
|
THAT'S WHERE THE REAL ACTION IS. WHAT YOU NEED IS A NATIONAL UMBRELLA. SO TAKE THE TEACHER QUALITY... |
| 01:04:02 |
|
AMEN. |
| 01:04:03 |
|
AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD THEN REINFORCE A LOT OF THE THINGS -- WE DID A PAY FOR PERFORMANCE... |
| 01:05:10 |
|
I'M FOR FEDERAL LEADERSHIP. I AM -- |
| 01:05:13 |
|
I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT ROME BURNING. I AGREE, MARK RET, THAT WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE OUR REFORM ONLY TO... |
| 01:07:12 |
|
I AM GLAD TO HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT THIS. WE GOT TOGETHER WITH THE PROGRESSIVE POLICY INSTITUTE, AND... |
| 01:09:38 |
|
TOM, THERE IS A LOT OF URGENCY AMONG THE LEADERSHIP, AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BUSINESS DEEDERS SAYING... |
| 01:10:51 |
|
I SURE HOPE NOT, BUT I THINK, FIRST OF ALL, LOCAL LEADERSHIP, NATIONAL LEADERSHIP, THESE ALL MATTER.... |
| 01:13:21 |
|
MARGARET -- |
| 01:13:22 |
|
EXCUSE ME. AS YOU KNOW, I HAVE AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN TOWN. I WANT TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT EDUCATION.... |
| 01:13:28 |
|
YOU GO TALK TO THEM. |
| 01:13:29 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THE LAST SENTENCE, YOU HAVE DONE A HELL OF A JOB. |
| 01:13:34 |
|
I GET THE LAST WORD. DONAHUE'S EXCUSED ABSENCE. OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE MINOR DEGREES OF SEPARATION.... |
| 01:14:34 |
|
LET ME ASK GOVERNOR ROMER A QUESTION ABOUT THE PEOPLE WE'RE LEADING. YOU'VE BEEN GOING AROUND THE... |
| 01:15:03 |
|
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT OUR PARTICULAR COMMUNICATION HAS HAD SOME EFFECT UPON THE STAFF OF THE TWO PRESIDENTIAL... |
| 01:17:05 |
|
LET ME JUST ADD ONE POINT BECAUSE I THINK IT TOUCHES ON EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID. THE REASON THIS... |
| 01:18:46 |
|
DO YOU REALLY THINK MOST OF THOSE AVERAGE AMERICANS SEE THE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT? THEY SEE THAT UNLESS... |
| 01:19:08 |
|
THAT'S WHAT LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT. WHEN MIKE BLOOMBERG RAND FOR MAYOR, THEY SAID WHY DO YOU WANT CONTROL... |
| 01:20:12 |
|
I DON'T THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE UNDERSTAND EDUCATING EVERY CHILD. I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT. KIDS WILL... |
| 01:20:59 |
|
IT'S THEM, NOT US. |
| 01:21:01 |
|
THAT'S RIGHT. |
| 01:21:03 |
|
I THINK I'M GOING TO CONCLUDE WITH THAT POINT. LET'S GIVE OUR PANEL A HAND. |
