>> madison and pennsylvania avenue. this crowd has been waiting for this because you know the announcer, charlie brattman, he is an institution here. i would like to say, he is spitting enthusiasm. he doesn't have that broadcaster's voice that some people might think but you can hear how excited he felts about this. he's been doing it for years. he's been telling them for last hour, we're getting ready, folks, he's almost here. and broadcasting, that's what we like to call a deep tease. so these folks have been ready and waiting for some time. as we're waiting to see the president come by. i was talking to you earlier about the five branches of the military standing here. they've been standing here since 9:00 this morning. in kind of an informal relaxed pose. but once some of the bands started coming through and the color guard, that immediately changed. we saw them saluting. and they're now in, you know, a very rigid format as they're supposed to be. getting ready to salute again as they wait for the president to come.

, how will affect the university of pennsylvania? >> guest: yeah, if we were to go over the fiscal cliff and even more so if there isn't a compromise that really establishes the american financial system and solid grounding, then there will be many ways in which we at the university and every university in this country will be compromised in the sense of compromising our quality. we will -- we depend upon the finding of biomedical research to spur innovation in this country. that will try to. we are committed to making affordable for all our undergraduates in that process $181 million a year, twice the amount of the cost eight years ago because we've ramped up financial aid. the more unemployment in this country, the more we spend on financial aid and it would be a tragedy if this country moved in a direction to make education less affordable. so we as a university are very dependent and concerned about the fiscal health of this country. >> host: amy gutmann, are you also in the classroom at the university? >> guest: i enjoy teaching

pennsylvania. it's about 20 minutes. >> university of pennsylvania professor sarah gordon, "the spirit of the law" is her most recent book. what do you mean when you talk about the old constitutional world and the new constitutional world when it comes to religion? >> guest: well, for most of her nation's history with the states rather than federal government that controlled access to religious worship, the rights of religious organization and so on, and in the early decades of the 20 century that began to shift. the supreme court applied the national constitutional establishment and exercise clauses of the first amendment against the state, sort of centralizing debates about religion. >> host: but if the states for control, we had it written into our constitution, freedom of religion. >> guest: we did indeed that the first amendment began, congress shall i not know love so it was addressed only to the national government. >> host: were there restrictions based on religion? >> guest: of cody if the

number one, does all of this washington stuff affect pennsylvania? and how bad is that going to affect pennsylvania? it is hard to predict. we could lose millions in community block grant funding and in the education department and a number of other areas. so i'm in the process of getting ready to announce my budge it in the first week of february. we don't know what we are or aren't going to have. i inherited a $4.2 billion deficit. we didn't spend more than what we had. the federal government has to look to spend within their means. >> we are going to leave it there. >> we appreciate it. great story to tell. we have breaking news out of washington now the house is voting to provide aid to victims of super storm sandy. >> the house vote is continuing. we have five minutes left. this $50 billion bill for sandy relief has the votes to pass. 175 nay votes. about 5:00 left in the vote it is not official until they gavel down this vote. earlier today there was an attempt to offset some of the cost of the spending in this bill bypassing an amendment that

of we're here in pennsylvania, as a case study of states regulating religion. >> guest: sure. pennsylvania, for example, had an active blasphemy law which we would nowty of as -- now think of of as starkly unconstitutional. and the last case, um, that was brought, the last criminal prosecution under blasphemy law was actually brought in the early 1970s kind of by accident against someone who had a sign in his window saying something like "wanted: radical carpenter speaks to crowds preaching peace." and, on, this person meant jesus, but someone walking past thought it blasphemous and complained. the american civil liberties union got involved pretty quickly, and the prosecution was dropped. more recently, the, a film company own or tried to name -- owner tried to name his company i choose hell productions. and was denied under, denied in corporation under the state's incorporation laws because it was a blasphemous title for the company. and that, too, eventually was dismissed. >> host: professor gordon, why did it start to change in the early 20th century? >> guest: i think for

it is going on across the border in pennsylvania.f the health impacts are as bad as the mayor suggests, they should be readily apparent in pennsylvania, in north dakota, in texas. the reality is that hydraulic fracturing, there is no evidence that is head -- that it has contaminated groundwater. hydraulic fracturing has enabled the united states to produce a lot more energy at home. that means we have very low natural gas prices. that is a great thing because energy makes us all richer. last night my wife and i paid our natural gas bill for the month. it was not super cheap, but it was not that expensive. it allows us to have money to spend on other things we were rather spend money on, rather than having to suffer in energy poverty. natural gas has enabled the united states to be the largest producer of natural gas. that is a good thing. so far the environmental track record of hydraulic fracturing has been very good. >> kate sat -- kate hudson of river keeper in new york state. what is the problem? what is the evidence that there i

so early 1778, the pennsylvania ledger is in philadelphia. this happens to be under headline you don't see here for mobile papers. but here we have congress, continental congress asking for some of the surrendered items are. so how come the number of muskets as leslie mann of the prisoners and all the muskets are unfit for service? how come the number bayonets be so greatly inferior to that of the musket? what also struck me is benedict arnold industries and helped revitalize the lingering war. dennis and conrad, who wrote the contextual assay for benedict arnold did not section in the book points to the nathaniel greene papers in which he added that all the correspondents whose research, he only found one of cents per nathaniel greene pointed to god, intervening in the revolutionary war and the rooster in the treason uncovering a benedict arnold. nathaniel greene as suggested in this report feels god has intervened in the american revolutionary war and helped the americans uncovered a treasonous five. you also see ubiquity after he becomes h

they are walking right along pennsylvania avenue. a.b.am sure you were listening, what we were waiting, for the president to get out and, sure enough, i said that and they said "presenting the president." we said it was a cold morning but it is so beautiful, he had no excuse. the sun is shining. it is balmy out here. it was time to get out and tell the enthusiastic people who came so far although there are not as many as last time, thank you for coming. >> it is a running joke today, you know, it is like alabama won the national championship again. well, all right. >> these are the most enthusiastic. these people are invested in this day. as americans. many of them, as loyal obama supporters. they traveled from far and wide to be here. they are as excited as four years ago. >>shepard: and the sun is out. we are all more excited now that the sun is out. >>shepard: we still have the electric blankets on but the president and the first lady did not have that luxury. we have a presidential historian watching this from new york. this has not a

sixteen presidential election under their bill the winner of pennsylvania as a whole along to get two of the states twenty electoral votes instead of all twenty of them while the rest of the other eighteen votes are going to be assigned by congressional districts your thoughts on this you know this is another words the whole idea of the democracy in america is not is not wielded by the vote it's wilted by the vote counting so this is a way where their votes can be counted or they can be thrown out according to what that district that district in is they've already gerrymandered to the point where it's virtually impossible for the democrats never take a congressional seat back in pennsylvania so that this is the next thing that they want to do go to favorable white affluent elderly districts and just count those votes and throw the other ones out now what's important about this story is this is a typical methodology for the republicans tom corbett is the guy they want to experiment with they want to experiment in pennsylvania just like they did with scott walker on union issues and jus

jackson is a director of africanus teddies at the university of pennsylvania. he's the author most recently of this book, racial paranoia, the unintended consequences of political correctness. dr. jackson, when you talk about racial paranoia, who is paranoid? >> guest: i would argue we are all paranoid when it comes to race and probably for good reason. one of the points in the book is that raises a category itself is about the embedding of paranoia into the way they look a social life. for instance, the whole point is to say some distances are so paramount, biological, hardwired that we have to be on the lookout at all times and mixing of different ways in which we differentiate between us and them. greece itself is about fearing social paranoia. when you think about a country like the united states that's trying to work through its own history of racial antagonist and coming to have two models. one is we're transcending them in moving beyond, trying to build a multiracial community. .. the only reason why i feel like we have to be very careful about serious d

across central pennsylvania, pennsylvania turn like will be dealing with some of the snowy conditions from last night. that is beginning to taper off. treacherous driving this morning. now yesterday we had the ice in mississippi. it's now warmer there. slowly improving. overnight we had a little ice in tennessee. temperatures warmed up now. so we're not so much dealing with too many problems in areas around nashville and also into louisville and lexington. much of west virginia is warming up. they're mostly dealing with rain. travel on the east coast today, the airports will be a mess in all areas of the northeast today, especially new york city up into boston. philadelphia airports dealing with rain. a lot of rain later today especially in areas of georgia. some rain will push into virginia and washington, d.c., and baltimore and maryland areas. as far as the total accumulations go with this storm, we're mostly looking at a three to five inch event across new england. south coast of new england will be dealing mostly with sleet and mixing in with a little snow. only zero to an inch.

in particular the may 10, 1764 issue of the pennsylvania gazette. on page two is one paragraph that details the forthcoming sugar acts. in that article, it says the scheme of taxation that has been previously debated in parliament whether they had the power to lay such tax on colonies collins which had no representative parliament and determined in the affirmative. also interesting to me about this article is this is where you get the first teaser for the forthcoming stamp act that everyone knows so well. and internal tax that is cut off and you can see that but an internal tax is forthcoming. violence and mobs and riots are also something that struck me because of the sheer magnitude of the violence that is reported in the newspapers of the day. in particular, this is a supplement to the boston newsletter from september 5, 1755. extraordinary for multiple reasons. one, the front page of this two page issue is details of the destruction of lieutenent governor thomas hutchinson's home, the lieutenant governor of boston but on page two from newport rh

that's exactly right it's not which means that the pre-clearance provisions don't cover pennsylvania but however it does mean the section two of the voting rights that it covers this kind of discrimination that is clearly racially motivated among all the challenges would very well be in place where there's been a movement that has picked up a little steam after bush v gore in that election al gore got a half a million more votes nationwide than george bush did and yet the supreme court made george bush president and you know according to the folklore of the election did to let's not get into that but the point is that we have had i think five elections since the thirty first where the person won the majority of the votes was not the president and so this national popular vote movement that you know we're states will assign electors based on who actually is winning the nation is has picked up some steam do you see any any kind do you think that the republican at thames to rig the electoral votes in these five swing states might actually work there might be some blowback to this it mig

"and justice for all: the united states commission on civil rights and the continuing struggle for freedom in america" mary francis berry, when did the u.s. civil rights commission begin and why? >> well, it started in 1957. president eisenhower had a lot of discussions with secretary of state about the way the united states was seen around the world because a lot of the racism that was going on that people would hear about and read about. and the fact that there seemed to be a lot of episodes that kept happening whether it was lynching or some kind of discrimination that took place in the country. so the idea was eisenhower -- said he was going to ask congress to set up a civil rights commission which was put the sacks on top of the table. i'm told by one of the people who was at the meeting with he slammed at table and said they're going put the sacks on top of the table. and commissions a

professor happ was interviewed at the university of pennsylvania in philadelphia. part of book tv's college series. >> host: university of pennsylvania history professor, stephen hahn is the author of this book "the political world of slavery and freedom." professor hahn, before we get into the subject of the book, what's the image on the front cover? >> guest: that's a very good question and the answer is i have no idea. the editor proposed -- thought it was a very eye-catching image and when i showed it to friends and colleagues they had no idea what it meant. it doesn't clearly relate to anything in the book but i think they were interested in selling books, and that's how they chose it. i think it is a really interesting photograph, and i think it speaks to sort of complex connections within african-american communities that involve gender as well as power. but beyond that, i don't know. >> host: well, professor hahn, what do going to the topic of the book -- what do we know wrongly about slavery in the u.s.? >> guest: well, one of the issues that i try to deal

we're in philadelphia at the university of pennsylvania, and we're interview something professors. who also happen to be authors. we want to introduce you to the dean of the university of pennsylvania school of social policy and practice, this is richard gelles on your screen one of his books, his most recent, is called: "the third lie: why government programs don't work and a blueprint for change." dr. gelless, i'm here from the government and i'm here to help you true? >> guest: not true. >> host: why? >> guest: they don't tallly help in some instances it's little more than -- i hate to say that's -- the good-gooddedder employment act, lots of people would like to help, but if you look at whether the needle has moved and'em have been helped by substantial amounts of government programs and money, the bottom line is very rarely are people helped. and i thought that it was a story worth telling. the idea came to me as i was being smuggled into the back door of the state house in the state of hawai'i for a meeting with the secretary, the speaker of the house. hawai'i was spending a
