GREG GUTFELD, CO-HOST: So, Roosevelt University in Chicago is offering a course on the Occupy movement, the protest that galvanized the un-sanitized.
Professor Jeff Edwards and a student visited pliable CNN to air brush the movement. So, I wonder if he thinks all analysts agree that this has changed the discourse of American politics already and it seems to be a movement that's going to have staying power, that's going to be around for a long time and have impact.

JEFF EDWARDS, PROFESSOR: All analysts agree that this has really changed the discourse of American politics already and it seems to me it's a movement that's going to have staying power, that's going to be around for a long time. It has some impact. It was playing out right across the street from our campus. And, it's like youth-led movement, so you I thought it would be perfect for our students.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GUTFELD: Shocker.
Now, I could make jokes about the lessons he could teach from the movement, like how to turn a Burger King bag into a toilet or how to convince a young protester to excuse a sexual assault just for the cause. But it's not that funny.
Far better to focus on the real joke and that's the one about to be played on America. See, people who teach their history, they win. And right now, there's an ego-driven race to profit from the media lie that is Occupy Wall Street.
Professors angle for books and bedmates. Students will do anything for an A. But you need an accomplice and CNN was there. During that interview, there were no mention of the 400-plus crimes committed at Occupy Wall Street, which did include rape. But at least CNN asked one tough question.

CNN ANCHOR: Thank you both for joining me. And on the record, Jeff, is Anisha going to get an A? I'm putting you on the spot.
EDWARDS: It's looking that way.
(LAUGHTER)
CNN ANCHOR: OK, that's really good, Anisha. You keep me posted. You let me know what happens.
(LAUGHTER)
Thanks, guys, so much. Appreciate it.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GUTFELD: I bet you do appreciate it. After all, the media shares the occupiers' beliefs that America is bad and the world owes you everything.
Prediction, in a year, you'll see the Occupy movement minus the rape and the feces. And every actor, whether it'd be Michael Cera or Anne Hathaway will die to star in it, because after all, the movement ignites the never ending narcissism of the left. If that doesn't make you want to throw up, you are probably one of them.
ERIC BOLLING, CO-HOST: Well done.
GUTFELD: Thank you.
DANA PERINO, CO-HOST: I first saw that on Sunday, Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics tweeted, said this would be funny if it weren't true. It's like a self-directed study.
GUTFELD: But I mean, can you expect an objective look at this from a professor that is basically in love with the movement? I mean, he is.
Bob?
BOB BECKEL, CO-HOST: What --
(LAUGHTER)
GUTFELD: You are staring at me.
BECKEL: No, no, I'm still absorbing everything you said. I mean, I don't understand what the problem is. I mean, if they want to -- they teach weirdest courses on weirdest thing, right? I mean, isn't there one more of this, too, in New York?
GUTFELD: There is. It's happening. No, there -- it's actually not surprising that they are teaching this because they share the same assumptions.
ANDREA TANTAROS, CO-HOST: We wonder why China is out-pacing us. They sit around wondering, do we have enough engineers? Are they learning their studies? And we're like, oh, do people know how poop in a Burger King bag?
(LAUGHTER)
BOLLING: The dangerous part is right now they're doing all the dumb things, pooping on cop cars and raping each other --
(CROSSTALK)
BOLLING: No, no, because it happened. As Greg point out, there were 400 different violations of the law, including rape.
GUTFELD: And it's been that since, that was at December.
BOLLING: Scary part, though. But what if they were to really to coalesce and get their movement together and get some sort of voice, they are a force to be reckoned with. You've got to be honest, they'll have a lobbying group and --
PERINO: I think they have one. I think that the mainstream media for a long time ignored it. The other thing about this if you look at the similar coverage of the Tea Party movement --
GUTFELD: Yes.
