. still learning the names in the roster of both teams despite the fact that we are in the bottom of the 11th inning and the man who brought in the last two fly balls dismissal, grabs the bat. devos a family room out of mimms florida drafted by the boston red sox in round number 38 last year. tried to check his swing and goes around for strike 1. and then the wake forest defense, leaves the infield playing on the line. and trying to get the hurricanes from going down the flin a double. the rest of the field especially the outfield playing the hit the

other way. the center fielder on the right side of the bag. >> it's ahead of the count. a wake forest pitcher with a long wind up. up high and on the athletic devos. freshman out of ramsey, new jersey. six for the three, left hander, comes home. -- -- ball. >> if you are hit by a pitch with a 1-2 count that's the way you want to do it. for the hurricanes at least get as runner on base. and one of the better base runners. and you can bet you will expect to lay one down and move him over. here is a coaches visit on the mound.

>> an entirely new coaching staff for wake forest. >> and it's all here in the first year on the staff murray. a stolen base for the hurricanes and 10 on the season for devos. and steve perez, miami's number two hitter takes out through the thinking right now. >> it's very simply right now. even though you have a good base run, coach morris is pretty much black and white. he's been very successful doing for many years. and i would anticipate him to

just get the bunting not for a base hit but lay it down and get the runner over. and what you are trying to do is get it over to the first baseman side because he's holding the runner on. >> could be an adventure with ryan seminick. he started tonight as the wake forest left fielder. punt goes to the left side. . >> not exactly the way you want to lay it down. try to go to the first base side. unfortunately, for the canes it was bunted pretty hard. and the second base rubbing over to coach first base. and they do get a runner in scoring position now, and that's

the way you run it at second base. and your clutch hitter coming to the plate, lawson. and grandal will get near check. >> a walk, error and stolen base but no hit so far tonight. between lawson and grandal, not say this often but 0-9. >> that's a good point. >> with devos' speed at second and the outfield is playing very shallow. regardless, a base hit should send everybody home. checking the runner. high with a fastball. >> the only way you are not sending him is if lawson hitting a missile right at someone where they get it on one hop, especially with grandal on deck, you might not consider sending

the runner. and as a base runner, make sure that the ball gets through and don't want to get doubled up especially with grandal on deck. >> pop-up foul. lawson a senior, 5'10" and 190s pounds. and there is the freshman from wake forest. one of 12 freshman on the wake forest team. plate while the shortstop was covering second leaving a huge hole on the left side of the field. and you can see the shortstop behind the runner at second

base. and usually, you want to give a chance to retreat back to the original position. >> 2-1 pitch in the opposite way giving chase and not catching up with it. that will end it. around third and heading home for the canes is zeke. all's well that ends well for the hurricanes 9-8 in 11 innings. >> and said it was going to end it for a minute but make sure he doesn't fall around third base. but the hitter not too often lawson and grandal. will finish 1-10 and none bigger knocking in the game winning run here in the 11th inning. >> and the wake forest demon deacons fought so hard tying it on multiple occasions. in fact, took a late lead from the hurricanes despite missed opportunities and failures out of the back end of the bullpen.

they were able to persevere themselves as miami clinches the series. the fourth straight out of four. miami improves 19-7. wake forest falls to 9-20. for my partner, formerer hurricanes star. we're here at css in coral gables. thank you for joining us for acc baseball. as the miami hurricanes prevail 9-8 in 11 innings. it was a hard fighting demon deacons. stay tuned for fox sports boxing in progress. that's coming up next on css.

violence against women. every side has their extremes and by the way those are two relatively mainstream folks. this book is not about them per se.

they are powerful and influential and talented broadcasters but if we are going to stop the cycle before it gets out of control, the only way to do it, the only way to resent our politics is to be the honest brokers of politics and not get caught up in hyperpartisanship. 's be spoken the true independent. can you name one democrat who is a wingnut? >> i want you to buy the book or go. [laughter] >> the gentleman over here as a question. wait for the microphone. >> why wouldn't you call members of the tea party movement wingnuts? c. he said the tea party was not a wingnut movement. >> people are very disappointed that my reluctance to call the tea party not a wingnut movement. i think it is very important and i try very hard to humanize folks in the book or go i think that is part of the way we break the cycle. you need to understand the view from inside the movement. if you look at the tea party

movement when it started a year ago it began as a principle fiscal conservative protest against bailouts, budget deficit spending. and in that, that is a reasonable responsible tradition it is hard to get people fired up about fiscal issues that they are really important so to that extent, they deserve our thanks. i have a section in the book called how obama became hitler, and the antichrist. when folks start indulging in that form of sender and they need to be denounced. the problem i see is there not enough folks standing up and announcing that kind of extremism and i keep waiting for. >> let me dig a little deeper here. you said the tea party movement is not a wingnut movement but are there elements inside the tea party movement? >> along with the principle conservative protest there is obama derangement syndrome which is baked in the cake. it is infused in it. does not mean he characterizes

all that and it is important. if we are going to get back on the same page we-- wingnuts assault the idea, the american idea that what unites us is greater than what divides us and while i think it is important we punch back at the extremes because they have a disproportionate influence in our politics, we do need to also follow through and focus on what unites us and i do think that is important. >> we should say to be fair as well that you can find elements of wingnut in any group across a spectrum. let's talk a little bit about reach. you say in the book the internet has made it easier for wingnuts to communicate and congregate forming on line armies making them an effect allowed us lopping blocking creating real leverage on party leadership but when you talk about their ability to reach people, compared to decades in the past when they didn't have the tool of the internet how much more powerful can a small group of wingnut. >> than they could have 20 or 30 years ago? be in the past folks would be relatively isolated by the

absurdity lets say of their views, and now you can find like-minded folks across the nation instantaneously. that is a totally different dynamic. geography is no longer a barrier, so you do have the ability for folks who might've been isolated in the past to congregate across state lines and form on line armies. the problem is as our politics have been pushed to the extremes they have more leverage. we have a dynamic right now in this country where all of a sudden we have got talk radio hosts giving talking points to political leaders rather than vice versa. that is a totally new thing. we have got political leaders afraid to stand up to the extremes of their own party because they are afraid they are going to lose a close partisan primary. the internet has been critical in galvanizing the support, increasing their influence and their voting. that is the thing. we are talking about a small number of folks who are hijacking the political debate in part of the frustration is

how come the vast majority of americans, independents are the largest and fastest-growing segment, they have been basically drowned out by people screaming at them on both sides. there there is frustration that because we have had a politics that has been derailed and is fundamentally unrepresented or could this be how much these days is they factionalized aspect of mass media playing in this? >> it is a big part of it. again, we have got the fragmentation of the media so in this dynamic the smart play, if you want to get high ratings, in this quest for ratings, because let's not fool ourselves the political entertainers on air and the radio are not motivated i principle. they are motivated by profit. they want the highest ratings they can get so they will drum up whatever incentives and insight as they can in order to stand out from the pack or to the problem is what is good for ratings is sometimes not good for the country.

we have seen a massive decline in the trust of all viewers. journalists are seen as opinion anchors rather than striving for the deal of objectivity. no one is even trying to be edinburgh any more. doesn't seem like anyone is trying to be a blink in any more. and this creates a real problem because even c-span, which is filming this, even c-span has experienced a decline in believability according to recent polls. people literally are not believing what they see with their own eyes because they are so used to be spun to death by the extremes. it has a toll on all of society and only exacerbates the division of politics. >> we will get a microphone to you. >> i name is scott kaplan from the union square area. where'd you put the progressives who criticize bush, but also now increasingly are criticizing the president is moving to the center if not to the right and is it really fair to demonize

progressives who call for the impeachment of bush on substantive grounds without name-calling? >> i appreciate your question. to those viewers watching this in the heartland of america, we are in my hometown of manhattan and i love it. it is important to appreciate that the dynamic you are describing which is far left liberals, progressives which is different to as corporal terms so i'm not going to use progressive but liberals believe criticizing obama on the left while the far right is convinced president obama is a secret socialist. the far left think he is a corporate sellout, so a real little reality check for everybody to get your heads in how screwed up our political debate is in this country. there are folks on the left to believe they hated president bush on principle and now they think president obama is a sellout and among the net roots the center is under attack work

of this dynamic is going on. does the same dynamic we see in the public-- republican party. now we really hate the common-- in the white house. again benjamin franklin said we must all doubt a little bit of our own infallibility. what you are describing is i believe the mirror image of a lot of folks in the conservative populace of the tea party movement. >> how difficult is it to live in the middle these days? >> it is a good place to be. a lot of company. we just don't know it. if you are in the center you are used to liberals colin you conservative. we have been force-fed an incredibly dumbed down version of politics for more than the last decade. a vision that divides this country into red versus blue states and the far left versus the far right and the reality is, that is a lie. if you look at any map in the

country if any election shows how people vote by proportion and reflects what you expect. it reflects what we saw with scott brown's election which is stereotypically liberal state and in fact 51% independent. so we have been artificially divided and forced into this bitter predictable partisanship. more more people are rebelling against it. that is why independents are the largest growing segment. what we need to realize is there are more of us than there are than. >> why don't we hear more from independent? >> i think we have gotten physically lazy. it is analogous to what happened with the first female senator elected to the senate or cauchy is a republican from maine. she was the first person in the senate and i republican party to stand up and denounce joe mccarthy, republican in her own party and she did it alone. she did it in a speech called the declaration of conscious.

she said it is time the vast majority in the center stand up to the violence of the extreme right and extreme left and straighten our civic backbone and shed are intimidated silence to declare our conscience. that is the moment we are at today. those of us in the center, those of us who want to put patriotism against partisanship need to take the power back from extremes because they have hijacked a. >> i don't mean to put you on the spot because they are statistics in the book but when people talk about how much power does the center really have, you cite some recent elections and percentages gained by people who were moderate versus people who were polarized or go do you remember those statistics? >> let's just use a couple of them. they hit on centrist is somehow that they are weak, they are not very powerful vote getters. this is an old line. when resident eisenhower ran against robert taft in 1950, he was called the general who won

world war ii was called the candidate of a feminist by the far right republicans who were isolationist who didn't want to fight in world war ii. john mccain for example in this last election won with 74% above. that is because he was in the center of his party which is why he is being primary from the right. olympia snowe and susan collins, win decisively and a democrat dominated state. not because they are weak by being on the extremes but because they are strong in the center. dick lugar went in election overwhelmingly, where only a few states away rick santorum, the conservative senator. >> mitch mcconnell, jd hayworth. >> this strength is in the center for everybody to see that we have been so vetted dumbed down version of politics and the extremes are so invested in telling everybody that there ways the only the only way that frankly they lie and distort. >> let's go to the audience again for question.

the gentleman in the green coat over here perhaps. >> i'm andy from brooklyn. >> speak up if you would? >> could you speak up a little bit? >> this is why we live in a prozac nation, because of all the confusion. i consider myself what you call the bush did loose syndrome? >> are you recovered? >> i am slightly recovered. [laughter] i still don't like him but i think i fell into it. might question is, this is going to be maybe philosophical or whatever, but if people think that this country has shifted so far right, say compared to the last 40 years and i've not saying it is right. i kind of went into that at but the more you back in history to shifting back and forth. if you think it has shifted so far to the right, so the center

right now is not a true center. it is the center between what is left and right. do you know what i'm saying? >> the point is and this is one of the arguments against the center. it is not a true position. it is always relative to where the extremes are at any time. >> typically a slightly to the right of center. >> america is a center-right nation but only slightly. may be a center-right nation but it is a center-right nation, not a right nation which is why they always lose elections. to your point, to your second i think which was about the drift of american politics, there is a reality check which folks they do have. some folks have been pushing a good honest republican. >> this was after scott fava in upstate new york. >> if you talk to committee conservatives and their of many

thoughtful people, they always hold up reagan and goldwater as their two icons. the irony is reagan and goldwater could not pass the litmus test today. goldwater was pro-choice and in favor of in the military and ronald reagan signed in abortion law. he presided over tax increases when necessary as governor and president. all principle people, leaders of the conservative movement that when you try to dumb down our politics and make it one-size-fits-all, history has a sense of humor and the reality is that goldwater and reagan wouldn't be considered conservatives today by the people who were acting like such ideological absolutist in the sentinel of the conservative movement. >> the young lady here, just wait for the microphone. go ahead. >> i hate to ask. >> what is your name? >> arianna from the area. i hate to add such a glib question,
