you just heard from senator rand paul who has been the loudest voice in this fight by far. back with me pamela brown, athena jones, he just spoke for about five minutes they cut him off. where do we go from here in this debate tonight? >> i can tell you this -- these gop senators who have been heading into this meeting that i mentioned earlier, the meeting that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is having with his conference, like my check colleague is speaking to them going in and growing optimism right now that they are going to be able to move on to this usa freedom act, the reform bill that the house passed so overwhelmingly and that failed here. it is looking as though some of the people switched their votes and be able to start debate on that bill. of course there's still a lot of uncertainty in the senate and someone like rand paul clearly opposed to it the thing is he is not going to be able to stop it forever. if you looked at that graphic we put up earlier, there could be up to 60 hours intervening between now and final passable. but it looks as though they are beginning to head in tha

the argument is for somebody strong on defense who typically you hear from scott brown and other that's not a rand paul might not be a governor for example who has limited experience in that regard. i don't know if that pans out. what do you think of that and who seems to have that edge? >> sure, there are several candidates strong on the foreign policy angle. senator marco rubio is one of the stronger once just because he's been on the senate foreign relations committee, and eloquently explains his position when it comes to the foreign policy perspectives with. that said, you're seeing governor walker going off to israel and what he calls it an educational tour. and then governor jeb bush, i think we're going to see obviously he has a very strong foreign policy adviser on his team. he understands the complexities as well. again beside having someone with depth of foreign policy the other point here is execution. who is the one that can have the leadership and can actually make the necessary changes in foreign policy. >> can i be counterintuitive? jimmy carter -- you knew jimmy carter, didn't you? neil

california's governor jerry brown has declared a state of emergency. pauls the cleanup effort going there? >> reporter: well, poppy, i think we have some statistical evidence and visual evidence that it's going better today. if you like behind me you can see these oil-stained rocks. yesterday and the day before with every single wave it seemed more oil was poured on to the beach. the look of this is a lot cleaner. recently just in a press conference the coast guard saying along with plains all-american pipeline that, they've been able to recover some 7700 gallons of oil mixed with water. as you pointed out earlier, with this spill, they say some 105 gallons of oil. most of it was kept on land. in other words, the total amount of oil that might have gone into the water is 21,000. they also say that they've gone into this culvert. they went underneath the freeway where the oil had spilled. and they've cleaned up some. they use this term 400 yards of oil. in the meantime more evidence coming out that some wildlife has been affected. certainly pelicans. they sa

rand paul: we need to be the party has people with tattoos, ponytails with overalls without suits, black, white, brown- we need more diversity. mark: this is not a new message for him. but, how is he doing? how is message? -- how is his message? john: his message sounds a little too glib. he had a reasonably good announcement and has been kind of lost in the forest ever since. this is an important message, but i think anything offered in a more serious, more substantive way that does not make it seem as though they are canned talking points and trivialize them in the way he is talking about it now. mark: he does link it to prison and drug reform. i think in general, this is a positive message to the party. it attracts a lot of strategists to him. it is not so much trivialize and, i think he needs to make it more emotional. -- not so much trivializing. john: referring to people with ponytails and tattoos, they do not want to be referred to that way. they are americans, they are young people. it is a little bit denigrating in some way. mark: i think he is just making a point to make a structured system.

. >> brown: sloth, it turns out, isn't much on bowling, but he's a ping upon phonetic as i discovered in his st. paul studio. he started out near here as a photographer for a small local newspaper and says that with songbook he wanted to return to those roots. >> i had this idea, and i called up... it was actually on my birthday. i called up this friend of mine who worked as a reporter for years and said as a present will you go out with me and we'll do a news story a sort of pretend news story. >> brown: what were you after? >> a more sort of lyrical approach to the news and we were after this sense of community life and what we found was that, you know, community life of course still exists in many different ways and i was actually reinvigorated about how diverse and crazy america is because there's this stereotype that everything has become strip malls and wal-mart, and, of course, that's true, you know to a large extent but you just drive off the freeway a couple miles, and there's you know, just so much richness there and so many stories. >> brown: for the book, sloth removed the reporter's note
