tom shamshak, you're the former cop, you're the former police chief, you're the instructor at boston universityyou're the private investigator. why the heck are they just now going through the trash? the trash from tuesday's probably has been thrown in an incinerator, why are they just now going to her apartment? hello. >> yeah, investigative 101. what they should have been doing early on is looking at every container that was removed from the building regardless of the size, they should have locked that building down, interviewed everybody in the building. you raise a very good point about nobody actually seeing her at that site. her card was used. could somebody else had used that card to get in there? i think they were a little slow to jump on this case quite frankly. >> thomas kaplan, i really don't have a doubt that she went into the -- there she is right there. that's video surveillance of her. is that her going into the laboratory? >> yeah. >> okay. so we know that was her that swiped. but shamshak raises a good point. we know that she was in that laboratory. we know it was after 10:00,

dobey berkowitz, director of communications at boston university. did you see the last segment? could you watch it up there in boston? >> yes, i saw you using the chalkboard as a deadly weapon. glenn: this show has broken all conventional wisdom. nobody would say we could do a 20-minute monologue and we do it almost every night and nobody would say use a chalkboard and yet that's how we make our point. what is happening here? can -- i have never treated my audience as a bunch of boobs. i believe they're intelligent human beings that really want to learn and know what's going on in the country. i try to figure it out myself and bring it. why aren't the other meetd ya outlets doing it? >> well, what works for you, glenn, doesn't necessarily work for other newscasters or other programs. i think what you have is a way that you want to try to communicate with your viewers using the chalkboards, giving them lots of detail. because it works for you doesn't mean it will work for other people. it's your style and very successful. glenn: right, but dobey, i don't mean that other newscaste

he now teaches international relations and history at boston university. his latest book is "the limits of power: the end of american exceptionalism." andrew exum, as you take stock of what the situation is right now in afghanistan, is success achievable? >> yes but... yes, we can accomplish the president's limited aims of keeping a began stan an area which is not hospitable towards the types of transnational terror groups that attacked america on 9/11 but it's going to take a lot of effort. it's going to take more resources. it's going to take a much larger afghan national security force. i think the question that dr. base veitch and many are asking is is it worth it? is it worth the investment? i served in afghanistan in 2002 and 2004 but also served in iraq in 2003. from really 2002 until about 2007-2008, iraq precluded any type of serious investment in afghanistan it's not so much that we've even tried to win in after afghanistan or build up the afghan national security forces. thus far we've only committed just enough resources not to lose. we haven't

in boston, the university's in the city, and we are fortunate to have so many, have come together and focused some of their resources in working with some of our underperforming schools. an individual university may adopt a couple of schools, and the results on that are still kind of mushy, because you are really dealing with a learning curve on both sides of the equation. one of those universities, at northeastern, -- northeastern will have a program where it is taking students who received a high-school diploma but may not yet have had the necessary skills to move on to higher education. northeastern is establishing a program where students will go there for great 13 or grade 14, similar situations occur in good junior colleges. those students will enhance their skills. the idea is they will be able after one year to move on to either of northeastern or any other schools. i mentioned the teacher residency programs. i think we ought to try to fund those nationally. we ought to do it with principles as well. in my testimony and comments that i left you, i talked about the fact that tu

are being made there by the boston va and the relationships in the community with harvard and boston universitytutions, educational and research institutions, which are contributing. and i know secretary has this as a priority as well. i think that the department of defense and the v.a. must work as hard as we can together to service and then funded these things. some of what i saw there, there were studies going on for three or four years, that actually has some good information. so what are we doing with them. we've got to kn >> for three or forayers. and i bet that could have some good information. what are we doing with them. we have to know what's going on. and we have to execute and take it and do something with it. i believe we're on the beginning stages of this. eight years into war nonetheless they were really starting to get a full spectrum that addresses these issues. i think we need to do this throughout the country. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, admiral. thank you for your great service to our country. i want to recommend my support for your reconfirmation. with the tough t

from boston allen schroder, professor of journalism and northeastern university, i am pleased to have all of them here. let me begin with howard kurtz. tell me what you think the media strategy is, howard. and does it is a a lot about the media or does it is a more about this president? >> i'll give you a strategy in one sentence, all obama, all the time. and look, the media may do stories about the president being overexposed but nobody is turning down those invitations. it's really striking. he doesn't have to go on five sunday shows. cojust do meet the press or face the nation. and make news with whatever he has to say. but in every opportunity whether it's the four prime time news conferences, the joint address to congress, the address to a joint session of congress in prime time, and now doing the road blocking thing on sunday morning, this white house and this president seems to delight in cranking up the volume. some would say to ear splitting levels. >> okay, but is it because he is so good at it or is it because he lives in a new media world that no other president has lived.

boston, at least 15 people and a train accident workers. we are getting details on what happened there. jane: new developments in the murder of a young graduate student at yale university named annie le. we are waiting for autopsy results. on sunday, the day she was to be married, her body was found in a secure building accessible only to students and staff. her murder was not a random attack. they are talking about suspect. rick leventhal is in new haven for us. what did they tell you? >> officer joe avery of the new haven police department just came out to brief reporters. he emphatically says that there are no arrests plans today, and no press conferences, either. he said there are no arrests imminent. when i asked him if there was a possibility, he said anything was possible. when i asked whether these media stories are hoping -- hampering the investigation, he said "god, i hope not." the victim is described as -- a suspect is described as a technician and employee of the university who worked in the same lab as annie le. he had scratches on his face and filled a lie-detector test. but again, the police chief says that the stories are not helping the investigation.

university here. host: thank you for your input today. woel go to the phone. robert caller: i wanted to let you know of an organization in bostoncalled the medical information bureau. hospitals and doctors report to that agency. when your underwriter is looking at your medical background, they can access that and look at preexisting conditions. you end up getting turned down because of that information. host: this out of new england in the national briefing conditions. host: long view, texas. you are next on the democrat line. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span. other callers have really called in with the solution to this healthcare issue. insurance companies, they are there to make a profit. that is a total conflict of interest when it comes to healthcare. that is a right everybody should have. when you are sick, you shoeld be able to go to a physician. insurance companies make money insuring so many other things. people should not be treated like non-living objects like our homes and cars. money we pay out to them.  and collected by our government, it would be a far less amount. look at the obscence amount made. hea
