This change the way we are as readers in the United States and the way we are educated. For many people if they could read shakespeare in the bottom of a ship and if you could succeed at college you can succeed at life. So i will take questions if anybody would like to ask [applause] are these books available later on in the bay or ride sales . The answer is yes. What happened is the idea that they were supposed to stay over seas but most people brought to a book or to hold with them because the ride would take two weeks with no military maneuvers that would be boring of the war was over and they kept them as mementos.

The good news is most of life exists outside government. The big picture. Thats our show tonight. Announcer and now, john stossel. John so much has gone the better in america. Our environment keeps getting cleaner, despite what you hear. We live longer than ever, become more prosperous, poor people have. More good things keep happening under President Trump . He promises hell help kids escape horrible Government Schools. We will rescue kids from failing schools by helping their parents send them to a safe school of their choice. John choice could be great. I like the way he said choice but its not really under his control.
