our guest is flynt leverett, international affairs fellow at penn state.he also was a senior analyst at the cia in focusing at the -- on the middle east. when exactly did you leave? >> of guest: i left because of t had become fundamental disagreements i had in the direction that policy was going. host: based on what you just said, and as we look at the photos of the protests, what is driving all of this? guest: i think mr. altman did judd -- mr. ahmadinejad is very polarizing figure, as we would say about some figures in american politics, you either love him or hate him. you were not neutral about him. i think he probably did win the election. he still has his operate -- his opposition very polarized against him. a good part of that opposition believes that mousavi either one the election or the should of been a second round, a runoff between mousavi and ahmadinejad. you're saying the frustration. you see that in the street protests we have witnessed in tehran. it is also worth noting that mr. altman did jot can mobilize large crowds -- mr. ahmadinejad ou

i had a student at penn state that complained about being shown michael moore's "sicko" in french class. here's a sample indoctrination course. at the university of california, santa cruz is a course which is described in the official university catalog in these exact words. the goal of this seminar is to learn how to organize a revolution. and then it tells you it is an anticapitalist revolution. now the subject of revolution is totally appropriate for an academic setting if it is taught the approach is academic. that is what is a revolution and as it happens there are people that have different definitions what a revolution is. in fact there was a book written the anatomy of revolution which explores these perspectives. so then you would say, you know, what kind of revolutions have there been because the french revolution was different from the american revolution and the american force was the bolshevik revolution. then he would ask what kind of advances or what benefits have there been from revolutions. obviously the american revolution had a lot of benefits. and then you would ask

in 14 penn plaza. f.c.c. v. fox television stations decided at 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 the 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 disposition as arbitrary and capricious under the administrative procedure act and as a post-script, the court of appeals expressed doubt the 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 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 r

penn state, university of texas, university of california, usc, columbia, arizona and arizona state, missouri, university of miami ohio, and we found 150 courses that it's blatantly obvious that students are being indoctrinated. if they read about poverty, they read leftist about poverty. if at the read about global -- well, i hate to tell the older folks here like myself, if you haven't been on a campus, they don't even read books now that teachers show movies, films in class. so if the subject is global warming, you've seen al gore's film and you may have seen it in a french class or i had a student at penn state that complained about being shown michael moore's sicko in a french language class. the chairman of the department thought that was perfectly appropriate. here's a sample indoctrination course. at the university of california santa cruz is a course which is described in the official university catalog in these exact words. the goal of this seminar is to learn how to organize a revolution. and then it tells you what's an anti-capitalist revolution. now, the subject of revol

chester koirnths the home of valley forge in the brandywine county where i come from is one of william penn'soriginal three counties. the tradition of preserving land and being good stewards of the earth have been passed down from generation to generation. we're not against progress, but we want to protect our heritage and be wise about how we use and develop the land we have. having the needed energy to turn on lights and heat water is critically important to the quality of life of every american. however, the preservation of natural environment of people's communities contributes to our quality of life as well. we need to ensure that all stakeholders are included in deciding where and when transmission lines are cited. compromise and dialogue are key in this issue, indeed it is critical to strike a balance between the crucial needs of the country while at the same time maintaining historic open space areas that make our country beautiful and unique. as the country considers this issue i hope that we hear from an affected parties and work towards viable solutions. mr. chairman, i'm grateful

because their speeches were some much more interesting coming from johnson's penn then coming from their own mouths. history didn't find out the truth about johnson's fraud until he admitted himself which he did because he finally got to the point in which he just could not stand it anymore. all those in his opinion semiliterate members of parliament getting so much credit for a degree of eloquence that samuel johnson knew only sammy johnson could achieve. johnson once said in the hands of as absentee journalism that he did not think he was quote, imposing on the world coming end of quote. six days before he died, however, he changed his mind. and on his deathbed apologize for this kind of reporting, root his duplicity. he went to his grave having been responsible for what was and i quote here from the book, the longest series of falsehoods ever assembled under the banner of fact in the history of reporting. a couple of decades later the americans samuel adams wrote a shorter but more insidious series of falsehoods and the boston gazette. his purpose was two inside his fellow americans t

and penn franklin looked at him like he was from mars and said we are a country of farmers and merchants and we don't have army much lest a test for what is it, military engineering? but we do have somebody that knows a lot about geometry. come back and we will give a geometry test. kosciuszko came back and took the test and a stick and then franklin said you are in charge of building forts. [laughter] so he built forts across the river, the delaware river from philadelphia at fort emmerson and billing support, and while he was building the sports, they realized the british ships would sail into the delaware and try to bombard philadelphia. so he started building what is known as a cheveaux and they would put tips on the end and put them under water so that when the british ships would sail in they would puncture the bottom of the ship and then they would sink. the americans said this guy knows what he's doing so they made him a car all of engineers and paid him a reward and ben franklin went to paris and suddenly there was a battle for who would kosciuszko work for next. well, he got th

but the idea that all we need to fix the schools is a smart kid from michigan or penn or columbia who gets two months of training then goes into the worth school in america and leaves in two years, that's not a model for success. we need to invest in teachers, and that means higher pay, that means recognition of the actual work that they do which is back-breaking and mind-bending. it's the idea, well, they work six hours. forget about it. teachers work 24/7, many of them, for months and months. and so i think we need to pay more, i think we need to create schools in which teachers want to teach by recognizing their intelligence. we need to recognize their professional wisdom and allow that to flourish in schools rather than treat them as if they're mid-level bureaucrats in a factory. so those are, those are broad, but those are the -- and i should make a distinction as i did earlier. the kids who go into teach for america are fantastic kids to a person. they're wonderful, wonderful people, it's just the system and the theory of change strikes me as wrong. in terms of teachers as they
