joanings is jim van ihei, along with miranda smith. >> if you look at the polls data, the base, outside the organizations, the voters themselves still like obama. it's a smart strategy, to go where he can try to go to the base. they're not enthusiastic at this point. our poll shows exactly what our poll shows, they're not that likely to vote. whatever that number is, 50% is much higher, it's much lower than other groups. that's why democrats are worried. if they cannot stitch together the same coalition they put together in 2008, they're in r trouble. >> why the disengagement, heather? >> you talked about it? your introduction. these young people don't have jobs. when you go into the teenagers you're looking at 1 in 5 without jobs. >> if you look at the -- it's a direct transfer of wealth from the young to the old. the explosion in student dead, as we watch the average college tuition explode. obviously the banks system more than happy to make those loans, because they're nonresource, no matter where you go i'll collect the money. we're also bringing people into a country that has the l

that of course is our communist revolutionary friend 9/11 truther van jones and then there is jim wallace the marxist preacher for the president and then you have sciu who is the former member of sds. who is also now under investigation by the fbi for-- i'm sorry, andy stern is under investigation with the fbi for corruption. then you have of course, the national council of la razza, la razza, what is la razza, translation, the race. then color of change, this is just another one of the communist van jones organizations. in fact, this is the first organization that boycotted this show. we have four, this guy's organization has also been boycotting the show. we have four organizations boycotting this program right now and van jones before he started this one, he got involved in this one. and i've asked you to read about storm. don't take my word the guy is a communist, read storm, a communist revolutionary group according to the manual says they brought experience in militant street tactics, revolutionary agitation and coalition building. oh coalition building like one nation working toget

special guests, caucus chairman, chris van hullen and the pollster who addresses the caucus, stan greenberg. >>> republican racism mea culpa. last year florida gop chair jim greer led the charge calling the president's speech to school kids indoctrination. now mr. grier with an extraordinary admission. i found that many in the gop have racist views, and i apologize to the president for my opposition to his speech last year, and my efforts to placate the extremists who dominate our party today. >>> who writes economic policy for that party? fox's as man. >> no new taxes, no new bureaucrats, cut spending. repeal obamacare, would you be in favor of those? >> absolutely. not only would i be in favor of these things, i will be in favor of these things. >>> delaware debacle, you might be in trouble if on primary day your former campaign manager comes out against you. you may be in trouble if a conservative heavyweight blasts you like this. >> the palin endorsement is destructive and capricious. >>> what's wrong with this picture? everything. worst persons, her, the team, the players, the league, reporters in locker rooms, and giving her network media passes whe

van right here that we're seeing and all of these fire trucks too. this is video from earlier, but this gives you an entirely difrent perspective. >> actually, jim, from that picture it looks like it's not completely jammed up. it looks like the door might have been exposed. not absolutely up againsthe hillside. but perhaps it could not be opened either because of the jamming effect of that -- of the hit. >> that slop of the grass there and brush may have made a big difference in this because we don't have that direct impact of road-to-road it doesn't appear, but, look. extensive damage. that bus is gone, and there are still, as we understand it, still some passengers stil aboard the bus. they have tried to extricate three or four. we don't know if they all got off. again, a quick counseled the rows, i counted 10 to 12. and if they're four across -- on't know if this was a full bus, but we're hearing parents and students were on the charter bus. the name appears to be wolves on the side. >> we're hoping to get more from maryland state police. obviously they're very busy. all the police are involved in this, for sure trying get the passengers out, tryi
