U.S. President Barack Obama makes a statement to the media after an evening meeting with Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) April 7, 2011.

One of the most influential thinkers of our time, Francis Fukuyama coined the phrase “The End of History”, helped define neo-conservatism, and endorsed Barack Obama in 2008. He discusses his sweeping new book, which looks to place out politician thought in the context of social evolution. Plus, ABC’s Jake Tapper on shutdown mania in Washington; Imani Perry on race and inequality; and the effect of NYC budget cuts on local children.
