joining us is evan bayh, former governor of indiana who was a democratic senator in washington 12 yearswelcome the senator [applause] >> i want to you grab -- nonand make a pitch to them why washington isn't broken. >> unfortunately, i think that washington is broken. i saw some of the responses to the previous debates and there are some differences of opinion in the room. but my guess is that if we sat down and if tried to work out solutions to some of the problems that are facing america among this group, we could probably get that done. but congress is so partisan and so ideological, they are unable to make the commonsense compromise to get the economy moving and the debt down and the cost of health care down. it is broken in a time when we can't afford that. so regrettably, i think it will take all of us, rising up and taking the system back to make the progress that america needs. >> congress is broken? >> unfortunately. >> is the obama administration broken? >> well, the obama administration isn't perfect. but i think the president's doing his best. >> congress isn't? >> no, they

. >> sean: tonight, our great, great, great american panel, a former senator from indiana, evan bayhist with the daily caller. michelle fields. he, a best-selling auhorr and new novel, "crazy dangerous," andrew klavan is back. you heard the teacher. have you throifn. this is insane. listen to the teacher arguing with a student as she supports barack obama. >> you will not disrespect the president of the united states in your classroom. >> i will say what i want. >> not about him, you won't. >> you do not disrespect the president of the united states. >> i am not disrespecting! i have a question. you freaked out! >> no. i told you, do not... >> sean: i would be proud of him. >> the kid did great. ift would be funny if it weren't representative of the way the left works through the the educational system. this is happening in schools. it is not that graphic, but it's still happening. you risk your grades. >> sean: he was right on substance. the teacher was using the 1965 romney bullying incident. he is saying i. there is one in his book. this illustrate, perfectly, like you said, what

republic primary lugar loss will have john donley from the south bend area excuse me, described as an evan bayh murdock the guy who beat richard lugar last night. he has a very different description of donely. >> he has been close to mr. obama for the last several years we will make that clear. it's not going to be accepted by the voters in indiana in november. murdock is tapped. he has an empty war chest. republicans need to hold all of their senate seat include this one and pick up four others if they are going to keep control of the senate. shep? >> shepard: bystanders attack a would-be robber after he tries to snatch a woman's purse. that tops our news across america. ohio. surveillance video at a cleveland gas station captured the who thing. can you seat robber grab something from the woman's car then make a run for it. he didn't get far. an employee and another man saw what happened and took action. >> i just sat down on him and tried to help him the guy was holding him. he said please, i can't breathe, i can't breathe. i said you should have thought about that before you tried to rob tha

under the past 24 years, we've had 16 years of democratic governors and evan bayh held the seat for two terms. a democrat can do it. >> ifill: brian howey, greg fettig, thank you both so much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> brown: next, more details and a major twist in the foiled al qaeda terrorism plot. front pages around the country carried the news today, that the would-be terrorist intending to blow up a u.s. bound airliner was in fact a double agent from saudi arabia. he was supposed to slip past airport security, wearing a sophisticated bomb in his underwear. instead, the agent had infiltrated al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula, based in yemen, and delivered the improvised explosive device, or i.e.d., into saudi and u.s. hands. >> we've seen over the last several days particularly with regard to the i.e.d. that was recently recovered that terrorism is and should be and continues to be our number one priority and the number one priority of a number of our intelligence agencies. >> brown: at a house hearing this morning, f.b.i. director robert mueller said the foiled plot underscore

moderates, because the liberals were not pleased with the existence of people like ben nelson and evan bayhhose people in the middle -- >> and outcrying critique of president obama. >> and being for health care reform. and that is an example that is not perfect by any means, but what you get in washington when people compromise, and neither side really likes it, but we have had a redefinition of moderate. dick lugar is not a moderate. he is a conservative. >> and yes! >> and when we yearn for dick lugar and ronald reagan. >> and bob bennett. >> yes. rig right. >> and then to your point, when we talk about the moderates and the democratic party and the ben nelsons and the biggest problem of the moderates and the liberals is that you were voting against the democratic bills for the most of the times, but what i don't understand in the metascope of things, what kind of life allows you to run for political office saying i will not compromise. is compromise removed from your life somehow? because it is impossible to live in a world if you are a husband or sister or employed or elected to the mem
