About why did you leave school and got out and they said i just thought nobody wanted me there and there are a lot that feel that way and its heartbreaking. Someone should make it clear to him that they want him there but there is so much going on at school even at the level that is assigned that his girlfriend lee and not so friendly towards boys. With a few weeks left in 2013, many publications are putting in their yearend list of notable books. These were noted in the amazons best books of the year. Youre watching book tv. Next Newt Gingrich argues we are at the dawn of breakthroughs in Technology Medicine technology and other fields. But he warns the new age may not be reached if we allow the government and others to get in the way. This is about an hour and ten minutes. One thing i will give sam is he knows how to have an entrance. We both want to apologize because we were on an airplane that was going to land with plenty of time and i learned the airplane wasnt going to leave. I do want to say a brief commercial for american airlines. It wasnt their airplane, but they happened to have a plane instead of flying direct from washington, they had a plan for dallas. And they went overboard to get us here and make the connection. We had a barely legal connection in dallas. They did everything they could to be helpful. In fact our luggage didnt make the connections of its on the way over here now. I want to say to those of you in the reception to be able to get a picture to see something not clear on. I dont realize that it has been 12 times that weve been here its always meant a lot to me to come here. The first president ial campaign i ever got involved in as a volunteer was the nixon launch a campaign on new yorks 60. I might point out that in georgia on 1960 the number of people who were willing to publicly campaign for Richard Nixon was for any republican was a remarkable small number. We had no state legislative offices outside the mountains and in the seats we had down mountains functional in the civil war. The cause of the longest political nights of my life listening as the democrats stole texas and it was a remarkably close election. As a way always come out here with a lot of different emotions. And i talk about american exceptional was some. We are teaching eight years about american exceptional the summit history and something we tragically find more and more that we are not learning in school and so we need help learning at. To talk about lincolns 100th anniversary of what would have been one of the most important speeches in American History and in many ways one of the most important speeches in history because it described a standard and then we should talk about the breakout that in some ways is a culmination of my 55 years going back to 1958 of trying to understand what we need as a country and in 58 was stationed in france somebody had to take responsibility for understanding what america had to do to explain to the American People to get permission to do it and then implement if they gave you permission and its a very important model. It is an effort to center the system and to say to the adults here is how we got to be an exceptional nation and heres how we continue to be a nation if you do read it and think its important, i hope that you will use facebook and plater and email and what have you to try to spread the word because the more people we can get telling each other the better off we are going to be because the scale of this change im going to describe a cannily come to the grassroots that will never come from sacramento it will never come from washington to ask the democrats and politicians and lobbyists to get together to voluntarily disarm and they are not going to do it. The only way that you are going to get change on that scale is to run over them by asking them to a point where they have no choice. And you saw a little bit of that last week when the democrats decided that the republican congressman fred upton had a terrific idea. [laughter] we were very fortunate we did a book and a movie about Ronald Reagan and there was a line that he says his job was to show to the American People said they would turn up the heat on congress and i think maybe that is a breakout in the tradition that we have enough americans to decide this is the right direction that will eventually get the political will to follow. The leadership is not functioning opposed to actually leading it. So let me start notice from the elephant is a time turning who isnt a republican. He is a florida 8yearold and we were at a kosko signing books and if you had seen these kids running that you would have understood exactly why she invented this character. But her goal has been first to talk about all of American History and then to talk about the colonial period and now the Yankee Doodle dandy to talk about the American Revolution and shes already beginning to work on a book for next year which will be called from sea to shining sea and which it helps lewis and clark to go into the pacific and her goal by the way breakout is my 27th dhaka and i can tell you that watching her right of the series when you have to take the facts and we want our history books to be factual which i think is a very useful model when you have to take a set of the fact 4yearolds can understand and then describe them in rhymes so its easy for them to understand and with the help of the terrific artist, suzanne you have to have a scene that explains what the writing is describing rhyme is describing is one of my chapters and effort. I didnt know, i thought this will be great to write kids books. It turns out to be important but its extraordinarily important that younger americans learn why we are in fact an exceptional nation. [applause] its interesting and in fact a very appropriate to talk about a Yankee Doodle dandy for a second because it describes the American Revolution and the declaration of independence and what makes tomorrows anniversary of lincolns speech so special is that gettysburg and a two minute speech that lincoln reunites the country with the declaration of independence. For most of the 80 years of history the constitution has been the dominant document which framed law and people looked at it in terms of what does it mean to be an american and how are we going to structure this country. Lincoln comes along and says the constitution defines the structure of the we are with the declaration of independence describes the spirit and i think it is peculiar and important and entirely appropriate president obama did not go to gettysburg because i think there is almost nothing in his current pattern which would be worthy of being the new abraham lincoln. [applause] i dont want to be partisan, but i do think it is very important to look in the context. Lincoln was all about the rule of law and someone that had grown up very poor who only had about a year and a half of schooling who only learned how to read by the light of a fiveyear place because his family couldnt afford candles and lincoln understood that it is the rule of law that protects the weak and protect the rule of law but without the law it is some powerful and the vicious. And so he saw what we were fighting over as the very essence of freedom and whether or not freedom would survive. And he goes to gettysburg and this is where it got much longer and much more difficult than anybody expected. They thought that was a 30 to 90 day war and leaned and is having to explain why is it worth this level of came. Gettysburg was the bloodiest war in three days a number of casualties on both sides. And lincoln is having to talk to people and in virtually every village in america there is a family that has lost somebody. And hes going to run for reelection. Nobody had been elected since andrew jackson. Lincoln is going to run for their reelection having failed to win the war. Go back and read did the defeat could lead to the gettysburg address as a Campaign Document because he is having to reach out an appeal to people and basically say to them to not let your son or your cousin or your net you or your husband have died in vain. Do not flinch or back off because this is central to the future of the human race. And described a very important thing and this is what candidly has made the stunning dishonesty of the president obama about yes you can keep your policy with which we now know that he said at least 39 times because we have on video tape 39 times we cant have the government of the people and lincoln says and talking with some of the great experts and ive written an awful on gettysburg and spend time there and actually get dressed up in in the 1860s outfit and when i got dressed up she was a congressman and was the congressmans wife and later she appeared at one of them at a house that has become a hospital. She said some hostile things to the soldiers about having brought all these poor dying dies in her home. But we look at gettysburg. And you have to understand that lincoln apparently said the government of the people, by the people, for the people. And to him it meant the very heart of american ek sectionalism. That we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights among which are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And thats why if you cant have an honest debate and honest conversation come if you cannot have an executive officer who in fact you can believe in to begin to undermine the whole system. I think that we are teetering right at the edge of a pattern of such unending lawlessness of waiving rules and picking winners and losers that is an ethical to the entire american experience. And so i think it is worth every american to mauro to take a minute to read tomorrow to take a minute to read the gettysburg address and go back and read the preamble to the declaration of independence to be reminded what does it mean to be an american. And its in that context i set out to write breakout because it struck me that we are mired down in sacramento and frankly most of the city and county governments in most of our school boards. We are in washington, d. C. Lawyer down amos such destructive politics surrounded by the campaigns of such viciousness and dishonesty that the entire fabric of the system is at stake and we need to break out from this moment in history. And what i found as i began to look around, and this is truly to me one of the most extraordinary periods in American History. Everywhere you go there are hard working intelligent people who are pioneers of the future. They are inventing things and energy and inventing things and transportation and many things and learning. They are inventing things and go into space. Inventing things and being dramatically more effective. And you go around and say show me the most interesting things happening. Right here in california. The google has a car that has covered over 600000 miles. Given the way we came down today im not sure how many hours that took. [laughter] 600,000 miles it has been one accident and was freer ended by a human. [laughter] this is the beginning of a different world. I was in peoria illinois and i went by caterpillar, and i stood next to the largest truck the build which is authority ton truck. And theyve now sold 24 of them as self driving trucks to a mine in Western Australia that is saving a Million Dollars a year per truck because it goes down incoming gets filled up drops off the material, goes back down. The truck meadows 24 7 mine linus the maintenance and filling up with diesel fuel. The army is actually in Oshkosh Wisconsin working with a manufacturer to the sign army trucks that would be self driving because then if you have and ied or roadside bomb you wouldnt hurt anybody and it is one more effort to try to figure out how can we risk fewer americans on the battlefield. But these things are coming down the road. On energy of course with the breakthrough in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling new to a place like north dakota that went from 800 Million Barrels in 2002 to over 24 billion today and rising. North dakota has such a high employment rate the wages have gone up 50 in the last 80 years. Mcdonalds now pays a bonus if you will sign up to work. That should be the conservative answer to income e. Quality. We would like everybody to rise up. We are not in the business of tearing down but we should be in the business of rising up and north dakota is a pretty good study. If the federal government are actively encouraging it it would be astonishing how many new additional jobs we would be creating right now. This year is the largest gas producer in the world by 2015 with the Largest Oil Producer in the world and that is an enormous shift of power from russia in the middle east and an increase is our National Security but also creates hundreds of thousands of jobs and lowers the price of energy. Natural gas today is three times as expensive in china as cities in the United States and that affects all of our manufacturing costs. Also, the Ripple Effect that are pretty remarkable. There is a system called regenerative madison, which is almost medicine which is like science fiction. Its when they take your cells and the growing large number of them. And the then take the 3d printing in the most recent version and the printout whatever you need. If they need a kidney can print a kidney or heart. The three genitive medicine is discovered by a woman doctor whose specialty is growing parts. Youll see there was a young lady who had a hard time getting a lung transplant, she was too young and the bureaucratic rules dont work. Ten years from now if we are smart and encourage this, ten years from now there will be no waiting lines for a transplant. You will replnt yourself and it turns out to do not reject yourself. Its very important what it means is you dont take any of those antirejection medicines. Secure dramatically increase the success and eliminate waiting lists. Number one problem food and Drug Administration. Every region scientist i talked to says they are almost certainly going to take the product to singapore or china or japan or india or europe because the food and Drug Administration is useless. What we talk about is the pioneers of the future coming and then we talk about Prison Guards of the past. Imagine that was the 1840s and the government in its modern form the stagecoaches would hire lobbyists to pass the law to say that railroads couldnt go faster than a horse. [laughter] because it is an unfair competitive that vantage. You may think that i am exaggerating. In the 1920s the newspapers of Congress Passed the law that made it illegal to have radio news. Down in the 1930s there was a brief period you couldnt have radio news because people protect their own selfinterest. Very few people go out voluntarily to give up their interest for the greater good. Thats why we have a constant tension between the pioneers of the future and the Prison Guards of the past. Now one of the areas that is going to become the most fascinating is Online Learning. Now, this is being stream on youtube, for example tonight. One of my favorite examples is right here in california. And again, the plan is just as henry ford was amazing and edison was amazing and the Wright Brothers were amazing. One of them as sebastian hooley is german that hes now an american because he wanted to come to an entrepreneurial open society where you could do the exciting things and you thought you couldnt in germany. It was too conservative and closed to new ideas. So he started working on Artificial Intelligence at carnegiemellon. He participated in the earliest experiments that brought him the self driving car as a project that the defensive Research Project agency set up the prize and the early cars didnt go very far. The were in the mojave desert. They didnt go very far and they were not reliable. They get better every year. He was the head of the self driving car project. He then decided he that teach the course on computing. And they had announced they were going to teach the course at stanford and they were going to make it available online. They had 400 students in the classroom. They had 151000 signup. Drove the Stanford Administration creasy because how do you regulate it and know that you are getting the stamford quality course and why arent they paying tuition . It was 43,000 that completed the course and on the final exam, the highest rated student in the course in the stanford class was number 441. That is 440 people who were not in the class got a higher score on the final and the best student at stanford in the class to apply salles sebastian after this was over and she said it was very humbling. He said he always thought he was a great lecturer and she always loved his lecture. He suddenly discovered if you take the online course that is a problem based course, you did better than it used in the same amount of time listening to his lectures. He then took from that and found a firm called viewed acidy. Udacity is a good example of the future to the stated goal of udacity is to provide high your education for 90 reduction in cost. So recently announced the georgia tech busbee eight was now going to take a 70,000dollar residential masters degree and advanced computing the masters degree online for 7000. First of all think of what that does to student loans. Second, if you are an adult and this is a class that you need but you live in minnesota and you are not going to move to georgia tech, you can now to get in the morning, on the weekend, while you are on vacation. All of a sudden we have begun to liberate you from the professor schedule. The most education is stunningly inefficient. The course would be offered from 10 2210 40 at the professor three days a week. That is going to rapidly disappear despite every effort of the University System to block. The most famous example i am not making any of this up look at dua
