he won't interview with fox. he has something against fox because they tell the truth. thank you. host: tampa, florida. go ahead. caller: the elections in iran do not really matter. all national candidates after the prescreened and preselected by the guardian council. half are selected by the supreme leader. they are prescreened by the guardian council. true reform, there will not criticize the closed circle of power within iran. some are not allowed to run. i wanted to make one comment about the previous guest's statement that he would like to see engagement. i want to know how you can be engaged with these people who are bringing about becoming -- to bring the entire world under puritanical islam. i do not see engagement possible with these types of people. host: thank you for calling. we want to get some other views. this is patty. caller: i m patrick, not patti. i wanted to respond to a previous article. in the first place, you are talking about a voter the electorate of over 50 million people who are filling out paper ballots. you have an essential dictator coming out and say

to present what to watch somebody from fox for a few minutes.ause] this is a special part of our program or recognize our colleagues with a the david bloom awards. these honors recognize some of the best reporting in the business. the first award as a nun -- is a not to outstanding achievement in covering public policy and politics on capitol hill. previous winners come from national public radio, nbc and cbs, and cnn. this year's judges were betsy fisher of nbc news, and my colleague the fox news. here to present the award is bill plante from cbs. [applause] here becomes. [applause] >> the award we present to your honour's a woman who was an abstraction to most of you, but still is as real as any of you today to the few of us remaining who knew her. she started out as a researcher at cbs news. that is what some of you are today. she rose to be executive producer of the broadcast face of the nation. here is why this award means something. getting it shows that the winner has the kind of enterprise and style and smarts that made john a terrific j

we're going to take a break, silver fox.ot more to come what a day for the kids today because manny acta had a very special day with the youngsters at boys town in d.c. we'll talk about that and show you that in a minute! ? >> when scott olson comes back, the nationals are going to have a decision to make probably between ross detwilerer and stammen to decide which pitch tore send down to syracuse and it will be interesting to see what they do here because detwilerer was the guy that wasn't really on anyone's radar to make this team. he was the first-round pick in 2007, and he had a pretty disasterous spring training and nobody really expect him to be here. the plan was to deep him at syracuse and let him develop, but he has pitched well enough here to keep him full-time and stammen has been in the minors full-time and was not really on anyone's radar to be here but kind of came in the back door a little bit and also has pitched well. it will be interesting to see what the nationals do in terms of -- they've had these two gu

byron on the right and fox on the left. thank you fox. ray is ready to go out and play 3rd base now. we haven't told ray and fox they're going to do an hour postgame in a few minutes. >> johnny: i've been out there while you and bob sit here and talk about things like that. believe me. phillips, nix. 2-2 game. tavarez working on an 0-4 night. i forgot macdougal went to wake forest signed by baltimore 21st round, 2nd team all american, 1st team all american by baseball america. he had a heck of a year in the atlantic coast conference in wins and era. he had a personal record against duke in 99. takes a couple of steps. one down in the 11th. i think that's about all willy taveras has. macdougal in his 9thyear in the major leagues. phillips grounded to right, grounded to second. >> rob: he's still -- >> johnny: leaves the ball club in that category. phillips 0-1. nix is next. hernandez after him. >> rob: 17 homers in 06; 30 homers 07. >> johnny: macdougal delivers, a swing and a foul. mike had terrific years with kansas city. 68 games he pit

do you think fox news is objective?>> id think it is tending to be more conservative but i think all news stations for the most part project the fact that you interpret it how you want to. >> very interesting, thank you. it is interesting, we have got a case that is going to be reported going forward. congress demanding a plan from president obama before they will back his closing of the basic guantanamo bay. how you think that is going to play out? >> i think in the end, i think in the end that congress will give him the money to close it down but i think congress-- quite frankly i think congress was right in saying look, we need to know how you are going to do this because the debate we did not have to in the campaign is not should guantanamo be closed, because both the republican and democrat agree it should be closed, and because they agree nobody ask the hard question which i which i would invest. equal think about to be closed, how are you going to do that? missed readed or not, there are some pretty bad dudes the

on may 30, 2009, fox news reported that the f.b.i. was, quote, severing its once close ties with the nation's largest muslim advocacy group, the council on american islamic relations, amid mounting evidence that it has links to a support network for hamas. given that hamas is on the current list of u.s. designated foreign terrorist organizations, this was obviously a serious claim and one which if true would rightly inform a shift in the f.b.i. policy. however, the fox news piece left me with some unanswered questions, questions which given the seriousness of the report necessitated further inquiry. such questions of the executive branch are common congressional practice and in fact are the responsibility of the legislative branch of government and the intended purpose of our system of checks and balances. for six years, from 2001 to 2006, i served as chairman of the appropriations subcommittee with oversight of the f.b.i. this year i resumed the leadership role as the lead republican on the subcommittee. according to the congressiona

so i had a lot of people after i got all of congress are you going to fox?and that didn't make sense. i wanted to go to msnbc and balance it out, and as you know working at msnbc through figures there are a lot of frustrations. but it really is my view of msnbc and broadcasting as the same view i have for politics, where i want to expand it out. i don't like going against the grain if everybody is left of center. there should be somebody right of center explanting the view. and the thing i figured out at msnbc is the fact that you can sit in a room of people who all went to the same colleges, not just msnbc, all the networks, all the networks. everybody went to the same colleges, they had the same world views, their kids went to the same private schools, they all voted for the same candidate. and they would sit there and talk, and you're sitting in the back just looking at discovering my god and then somebody would say something so over the top you just start laughing. what i noticed is it only took one person in the room laughing for everybody else to activ

the democrats are supporting you, and fox news has made an industry of attacking you. the republicans hate the unions. they despise the unions. i have a brother that's a dealer, and he's been a republican and he just switched his registration to a democrat. host: fred, thanks for the call. do you want to respond? guest: as a former republican, i won't respond. host: this is our democratic line. caller: i work in solar, and here in hawaii, one the states along with the world is taking a look at a project called better place. and i think that c-span had someone on discussing they wanted their planners to do things. build capacity of large parking lots and the home with special stations with batteries to remove for the vehicles. therefore the cars are cheap and the batteries don't go with the cars. you lease the batteries by the mile at a cheaper rate than gas. the most important thing it allows the industry, the vehicle industry to create gliders have heard them referred to. they make vehicles and the entities marketing them decide whether to use fuel or electric capacit

she was on the fox news channel last night. jordan is on the phone from phoenix. again, we're hearing from republicans only. who speaks for the gop? guest: mitt romney is a strong upcoming moderate voice for republicans. another person i am impressed with is jon kyl. unfortunately, i think jon kyl is not ambitious enough. he has been hesitant politician. i do not think he would personally run for office. adding that is a shame. i think he would do a great job. host: tom from michigan, good morning. caller: rush limbaugh the stakes for the conservative party. mitt romney is level by to see ron. host: david in denver, what do you think? caller: i have a few comments. i think is pretty clear that -- i'm a moderate republican. my family always has been. the right ring republican party has been speaking too often. i saw newt gingrich yesterday at that dinner. i would say that ye-- it is very scary, some of the things that he says. he is a very smart man. just disrespecting the world mainly because this is a globalized economy. we have to be cautious of that. host: tyrr

i am sure that james expects fox to be very right wing. >> in most countries, it is a labor paper and a tory paper. it is this or that that may be fine. we also know for a fact that this whole industry is changing by the day. the chicago drop-in, "the los angeles times, "the new york times, is not like it is the same period the speaker made a point that when you were our age, you can go -- right now co. the big change i see -- >> none of them think they will be our age. . i am from nebraska. what do you guys think is the biggest lesson you can take away from the academy? >> challenge yourself and critically think about all of the important issues of the day. it beyond your biases. >> just accept the role. there is a role for everyone. >> stay informed, know what is going on and know how things work. you will be casting a wise vote. them i will ask the three of you to give short responses on what the biggest thing you personally will take away from your involvement with this program? >> it is the involvement with the students, it has a profound effect on me. >> i was going to say that

johnny halladay with the si ver fox, ray knight. great to have you along for baseball.onight, interleague play for the next two weeks, 15 games. you go to tampa bay tonight and then to the yankees for a series, back them against toronto and back home again the boston red sox and nice way to go on the road, ray, with a big come-from-behind win over your former ball club, the cincinnati reds, 3-1. >> yeah, buddy. >> it was a great comeback win. >> it was a great comeback win. we threatened a lot. we came back after the rain delay. still, we talked about having character. after the harris pinch hit and hernandez pinch hit, and zimmerman grounds and phillips throws the ball away. but look at the takeout fly at second base by gonzalez. we talk about little things win ball games, as well as the big thing. the pressure he put on that second base man is key. then joe beimel comes and puts the side back out. we have not been able to board too many leaps this year and feel real good about the flight. >> uh-huh. >> how about beimel, only throwing eight pitches and gets his first s

what has happened with the rise of fox and rush limbaugh, we've really gone back to a nineteenth century model. if you study abraham lincoln, every newspaper in america was partisan. if you were a republican, you subscribe to the republican newspaper, and vice versa. the best way to capture the lincoln-douglas debates was to take the two sets of newspapers and bring them together as c- span did. he founded side cover the other in very interesting ways. we're moving back to that. i am expecting msn b.c. to be a rapidly left-wing channel. i'm sure james expects fox to be a left-wing channel. >> in most countries, it is the -- it is a different paper. that may be fine. this whole industry is changing by the day. the chicago tribune, the loss angeles times, the new york times was marketing its building. i think the speaker makes a point. when you are our age, -- right now, the big change i see -- >> none of them think they're going to be our age. [laughter] >> you can go and never read a conservative thing. you can spend your entire life -- so many people use information the way that a drunk

>> do you know, a jennifer fox, mr. press? >> i may. >> you know, a jennifer fox to works in the washington d.c. office? >> yes. i don't know her last name. >> i assume she uses an e-mail address that and seven chrysler.com that is an employee of chrysler? are you aware chrysler is attempting to convince chrysler dealers who have not been terminated to ring gauge in a lobbying effort to point* out the positive aspects of the consolidation through bankruptcy that has been going on? >> i am aware the fact because of the publicity there are 391 dealers that have benefited and they give to the league and 100 year dealers 21 the opportunity to make their position known. >> are you aware chrysler has been sending out talking points under a key messages memo that says chrysler llc made the appropriate business decision with the dealer network that could be thriving and profitable and the automobile industry cannot support the number of dealers that currently exist. dealers have known chrysler wanted to consolidate and locate all thre

caller: i do not think he is getting favorable press from "the wall street journal" or fox news. think it is balanced. i am a democrat and not particularly satisfied with a lot of his positions. it seems he is trying to appease republicans. from the calls you have received so far it is not working. i wish you would just forget about them because if you just listen to the people who have called in so far there is nothing he will be able to do to appease the fox listeners who were talking about reparations or the wall street journal listeners who are concerned about socialism. he is a democratic president. he has, i hope the democratic agenda. if the republicans who are bashing him would take the time to look at his positions, they would probably like him because there are a lot of democrats that are really not satisfied. host: let's move to pensacola, fla. on the republican line. caller: hello, i am concerned that the media is not giving a fair shake to anybody but president obama. obama seems to be the love boy, i cannot do any wrong. host: what is the prominent example in your m

it disguised, some of it not disguised and largely because of the company that i used to work for, fox news channel, much more contentiou contentiousness than there's ever been before. there was more argumentation on these so-called talk shows. i have a friend who's a jew, who wrote a book called "denying the holocaust," she wrote it about 15 years or so ago and before she had finished writing it, she got a call from a television producers saying, we know you're writing a book called denying the holocaust, could you be on our show. well, she was astonished. this was a serious book. it's not the kind of book that television producers want to have, an i'd forgotten what show it was, i don't remember if you remember geraldo riverra's daytime talk show. it was a a show like that. she said yes, i'll appear and they said fine. you understand for the sake of fairness, we're going to have a home cast denier on the program with you. and she said fairness. fairness isn't one person tells the truth and one person tells a lie. fairness is one person thinks this is the reason this happened, and one

fox news live is making a cottage industry out of attacking you. the republicans hate the unions. they despise the unions. i have a brother who is a dealer and he has been a republican his life and he realized this and he went down and switched its registration just last week. host: fred, thank you for the call. do you want to respond? guest: as a former democratic congressman, i will not respond. host: allen on our democrats line. caller: i will try to go quickly. i had a few topics. i work in solar and in hawaii, one of the states and the united states, along with the world, taking a look at a project and i think c-span discussing -- their plan is to do three things. build capacity -- parking lots and the home, and special statements that will remove batteries. there for the cars are cheap but the batteries cannot go with the cars, basically can leave the batteries a cheaper rate than gas. the most and portend thing is that it allows the industry, the vehicle industry to create basically gliders, as i heard them referred to in years past, vehicles and entities that would be mark

we were not a terrorist we were never charged with terrorism or hurting people which is the fox news narrative or trying to hurt people because we did not. >> host: before we leave the topic of education of all of your books you have written or edited which would you recommend to people to read if they wanted to read one? >> guest: the most widely read is the one called to teach, the journey of a teacher at it is a red more by a wide audience as in fact, the third edition will be a graphic novel and abroad the new chapter one with me i have worked with akon -- cartoonist from a brilliant young man who moved in with us several months and be storyboard a book and i first thought would be decided to do this we would do an illustrated version of to teach. that would be easy but i had to learn from this young man a graphic novel is not an illustrated book is entirely different. the reason is because it is in the intersection of art and words that the thing that comes to live so we wrote in an entirely new book in six months it will be out early 2010 and is called to teach, the journey and

we were never charged with hurting people, which is kind of again the fox news narrative. or were trying to hurt people because we didn't. >> host: before we leave the topic of education, of all your education books you have written or edited, which would you recommend to people to read if they wanted to read one? >> guest: the one that is most widely read is called, to teach, the journey of a teacher, and it's the one that is read by a more general audience. so much so that the third edition is going to be a graphic novel and i brought chapter one with me. i worked with a 26-year-old cartoonist, n

fox news has both sides on it. i think it is well represented. you have to argue the fact, this is where your intelligence and knowledge base comes into play. if you know the facts he will be able to pull them back from those diversionary tactics, what do you know about this subject that changes that? what changes the fact? what about it is not fair and balanced and tell me? demand specifics. don't let them get off with this is not fair or balanced, why? tell me why? call people on it because they have gone away with this sort of it is not fair stuff in their classes because their professors agree with them. you have to be the ones to hold them to account. it is not easy and they will think you are obnoxious but do it anyway. >> thank you. >> i am a junior at baylor university. i have a question, especially in light of senator arlen specter's defection to the democratic party, what type of conservative or republican party should we be trying to go for? a purification of the party? should it be a big tent conservative republican party? with john m

as i said earlier, this is a classic case of the fox watching the hen house. it's having a profound impact on the work of our regulatory agencies. we have done our review and this is something that we pointed out at the committee. the review found that offices of the inspector general, that independent offices, where they are appointed by the president and approved by the senate, completed over 117 investigations in 2008. while their nonindependent counterparts completed just 12. that's 117 versus 12. the inspect jor -- inspector general of the commodity futures and trading general showed that despite the economic crisis, his office completed just two investigations in up-- and updated one from october of last year through march. simply stated, an independent watchdog ensures better performance from government agencies. i commend the committee. what they've zone provide greater accountability and transparency. i commend senator dodd who will be taking this bill up on the senate side as well. again, i think -- i thank everybody on the committee, especially ed t

chairman, i just thought i'd respond to liam fox, a member of parliament from great britain. here's his quote, "nice is simply a rationing system." let me continue what he said. >> why don't you explain who you're quoting. >> liam fox is a member of parliament that i was asked to report back what he said about nice. so that's what he said. but more importantly, which he said something that i hadn't thought about but it's true, is that doctors can't serve two masters, the state and the patient. and if they do they're unethical. because one conflicts with the other. >> thank you, senator, for that. i don't think there's any argument about. that we're all trying to achieve the same results. senator enzi, you had an amendment? >> i had an amendment while we were over voting. i think some consideration was given to those amendments and i think we have something worked out about them so i won't bring them up right now. inform my colleagues, we're only going to go about another 15, 20 minutes because there are events this evening that people need to attend. i'll instruct our staff t

you, i appreciate it. >> host: thank you. >> guest: i try very hard to kind of ignore what's said on fox news in particular, but on any kind of media, and i would be, i'm suspicious that there is such a thing as either the public mind or public perception. i think we're all capable of having minds of our own, and i know it seems sometimes like we're all a herd going in a certain direction, but then you look around and you say, gee, it's not so true. i mean, for example, for the first year of this illegal and unnecessary war in iraq, it seemed like the whole country was for it. it seemed that way if you listened to any media outlet. turns out three years in, the majority of americans opposed it. so somehow we have minds of our own in spite of the voices on the media. but the problem that you're raising about how i was kind of created into a cartoon character during the recent presidential campaign i didn't take it, i never took it personally. i felt that there was a sense that nobody knew thousand run against this -- how to run against this new, young, fresh candidate. nobody knew what sc

fox, you get aig. [laughter] enjoy. [laughter] i have said all along, i have no ambition to run an auto company. gm will rise or fall on the quality of its products. like the taut, athletic design of the new buick enclave. it is more than transportation. it is a modern drivers retreat. come on, work with me here. i have got cars to move here, people. [laughter] [applause] in all seriousness, despite the jokes i have told, i am here tonight because i appreciate all of the work that you do and the role that you play. you report the news as it happens and you cover history as it is made with a hand-held camera or a microphone. you bring the truth to people and allow people to bring truth to the world. we are seeing that now as history is unfolding in the sounds and images of broadcasts from around over the last week. we have seen professional and citizen journalists act as a voice for those who want to be heard. bearing witness to the universal aspirations of democracy and freedom, often at great risk and sometimes with gr

. >> you mentioned this what fox. over the years, i have read that it was largely a diversion, that he wasn't significant. would you expand on that? >> historians debate, there is not a uniform interpretation. i think it grows out of the fact that marion was a cantankerous, independent sort, who didn't always work particularly well with the continental army. when green came in and took command of the southern continental army, he had problems with marion. that said, as i tried to argue, the partisan leaders, not just marion, but sumter and others, waged a war that really turned things around, it through the british on the defensive, the british were beleaguered, there attrition rate was really serious through 1780, 1780 one. and the partisan fighters ultimately played a crucial role in saving the american revolution. >> returning to the question of could the british have won the war, what effect do you think it would have been had arnold been able to surrender at west point? >> if arnold had pulled off -- it would hav

fox television stations decided that the end of april was, i thought, a case that should never have gotten off the ground. the court upheld the f.c.c.'s 2004 determination that broadcast of isolated utterances of the f or s word could be condemned as indecent under federal law. the second circuit had set aside the agency's position as arbitrary and capricious under the administrative procedure act and as a post script the court of appeals expressed doubt that f.c.c.'s current fleeting expletive regime could survive first amendment inspection. the supreme court reversed, holding that f.c.c. had adequately explained its new policy. because the court of appeals had not ruled on the constitutionality of the f.c.c.'s orders, the court declined to address that issue. justice breyer wrote the principal dissent, which essentially agreed with the second circuit's analysis. and in a separate dissent, i noted the long shadows the first amendment cast over what the commission has done. justice brennan, i recalled, had warned over 30 years ago that the government should take care before enjoining the b

why have we not seen any pictures of the white fox being dropped by the israelis.ll we can all i have been hearing is this crap about iran. we have done everything that we need to to destabilize their government. we do not even have free and fair elections in this country. you americans have lost your mind. i am ashamed of this country. goodbye. host: kathryn, little rock. good morning. caller: we had elections stolen from us twice by bush. they did not protest because they were benefiting. the people of iran, more power to them. host: alice, from georgia. good morning. caller: thank you for c-span. there is one thing that people are forgetting. iranians are using their own tactics, throwing rocks and burning things. they should remember how we blacks had to fight for our freedom back in the day. we were jailed, killed, and everything. we kept on fighting. that is what they have to do. president obama does not have to say anything. why would we get involved in this situation? these people must follow a pattern that martin luther king said. maybe they will get somet

. >> byron: yes fox sports.com saying that jim rig he willman would become the manager and manny actabe fired sometime in the future. i spoke with the team president before the game, edsel not comment on media reports. he is perplexed by this bad start and he's looking for all solutions to try to figure this out. jim riggleman said before the game he hadn't even heard about this report. he fully trusts manny acta, he's a heck of a manager. >> bob: we know kenny rosenthal, he's a very good reporter. he must have some source he feels is strong enough to go sub with such a report. at the same time, he evidently knows more than any of us who are with the ball club every day. >> rob: exactly. >> bob: i'll tell you right now, i like manny acta, i think manny acta is an excellent manager and he's not been given enough horses to win. you've got four rookie pitchers out there. your most veteran pitcher has 50 career starts under his belt. >> bob: to me the big perplexing thing about this ball club is the bad defense by veteran players. these aren't kids. guzman, nick johnson, very shaky defens

along with the silver fox, ray knight, johnny holliday. happy to have you with us. a game looked leak the nationals were going to finally stop that streak of winless games against the fish down there in the sunshine state, but not to be. walks came back to haunt this club. >> bullpen a little bit. early offense jumped out there, then not able to sustain it. didn't have a lot of offense after that fifth inning. he's pitched really well, in all the games but two that he's started. he has the ability to punch people out. threw a lot of pitches in good spots. they pitch extremely well. we hit some balls decently, just not enough offense. they were able to put it together and do something. >> you talked about, walked nobody tonight. defining moment in this ballgame came in the 8th inning. it was a 2-2 ballgame at that point. wes helms facing ron villone. >> nolasco gets a 3-0 count, he works himself back to get the 3- 2 pitch. right down the first-base line. ends up going to second base. they pinch-hit de aza, coghlan sacrificed perfectly to first. get the runner over, g

the report came out in fox sports that manny could be out within a couple of days. we haven't heard anything here. you can see it's weighing out a little bit in the body language. you can see it in his face a little bit. he wasn't talking a lot. sometimes you can see if they're staying away from each other, something is coming. if it's going to happen, i can see tomorrow being the day. if it doesn't tomorrow, my hunch would be it's not going to happen on the road trip. we'll wait and see. >> at that point, you've got a 7 game road trip, usually nobody gets fired on the road. have you heard anything about how it broke? >> reporter: i haven't heard anything. it was contributed to major league sources so it could be somebody within the organization he's trying to protect. ken is not wrong a lot. sports illustrated is reporting as well. when we talked to stan yesterday, he didn't deny it but he didn't confirm anything either. he said he's concerned about the record but he's not going to confirm or deny it. with that said, there were indications that stan is not happy wi

and an accountant, and he has testified before congress as well as appeared on programs on nbc, cbs, fox, cnbc, and msnbc, commentaries have been published in a major newspaper including the "washington times," "beat san diego tribune," the american -- "the american standard." mr. rockwell has been involved directly with nuclear power for 20 years. he started in 1943. he was in the elite task force at the atomic bomb project in tennessee. he became head of the radiation shield engineering group. then a navy captain hired him to work on the naval nuclear propulsion program, and he has a long list of accomplishments there. he is a fellow of the american nuclear society, recipient of the first lifetime contribution award, now known as the rockwell award, distinguished medals from the navy and u.s. atomic energy commission and a member of the national academy of engineers. he has written numerous books on technical papers, including the widely-used design manual -- how one man made a difference and created the new world. stories and images from the dawn of the atomic age. we are very glad to

people like rush limbaugh, fox news, they really irritate me. barack obama cannot do anything.y will say something critical about him no matter what. he is going to be a great president, don't you think? but guest: is too early to say. whether he is or could be a great president, something that he decided at the early stages when bringing about when to run , as a mixture of the top levels, that is why he thought ronald reagan was a great president, even though he opposed all those policies. it was a time when the country was ready for that kind of change. around the time of the nevada caucuses, driving president clinton crazy -- figuratively -- prompting him to react in very undisciplined ways. i think did you can only tell the greatness of a person in hindsight. we are living in the middle of a tumultuous event. he is a historic figure and an iconic figure. look at the world's reaction to images associated with him. we have not seen anything like this since princess diana. guest: there were many democratic candidates, but the third one that you -- host: there were many democra

msnbc, fox -- the leading question every night is what is the president going to do about this? they lead the ignore public to get involved in things bigger than they are. it has already cost us so much money in other parts of that area. it is the media here who feeds on ignorance of the populace to lead them into situations. i think they should do what they're doing and iron it out, but not get us directly involved. thank you. guest: you know, i do think anyway real change comes to any country from within that country. i do understand the new i myself and and it iranian- american. anything that goes on in this country deeply affects me. i am as concerned as any other american. i am speaking to not just s and irani. this is the only country in the world where people carry their past with them. -- i'm not just and running. that is why this country become so expensive and in need. -- so and expansive
