[laughter] 60% could not identify the principle that the government derives its powers from us from the american people. in that survey, 20% of adults correctly pick the 10th amendment as the amendment that reserves power to the states and the people. you are a journalist and a professor. how did we become so disinterested in this material? >> because it worked so well. the reason people do not know was because the system works beautifully. people assume they have rights. they will be protected. the state can't come get them. young men with guns can't come get them. it is the most beautiful creation ever, the ability, that proves how well it works. >> newsweek asked 1000 americans to take the official test required of people aspiring to become americans. 44% could not define the bill of rights. >> you wonder if the next generation, evan is right, all of us, the generation here today, we were imbued with this. there was a lot of civics and understanding the principles -- >> they do not

but to say at all like a book with the same picture in the public library or adult like karl marx in our library. so that sort of thing is at war with the first amendment and the notion of the freedom of expression, freedom of thought to let people make up their own decisions in these critical areas. >> can you describe your argument formerly of "the new york times" and tame -- "time" magazine should be exempt before the grand jury? >> let me tell you it was not with a successful argument reflected in the fact judas' miller spent 88 days in prison after made the argument. but you cannot win them all.

what would karl marx do? cheryl: taxing corporate profits no matter where they are. first, a preview with top white house economic representative. dennis: george mason university anthony sanders on whether another housing bubble is inflating. adam and lori are next. ♪ a quarter million tweeters musicare tweeting.eamed. and 900 million dollars are changing hands online. that's why the internet needs a new kind of server. one that's 80% smaller. uses 89% less energy. and costs 77% less. it's called hp moonshot. and it's giving the internet the room it needs to grow. this ...is going to be big. it's time to build a better terprise. together. like carpools... polly wants to know if we can pick her up. yeah, we can make room. yeah.
