it iseople who are very frtrated and wand to make the point that things are not right in their own wayat gentleman had a successful career and had enough money stowed away to be able to do that. another guy i talked to said he sold a four wheeler to pay to run in florida. he is running for the senate seat there. several said, "i do not think i can win, but i am making a point." host: you write that the field is larger than 1976, years after the watergate scandal took down president nixon and the year the gop took control of congress for the first time in four decades. he said the next largest field was in 1992 when bill cnton, george h. w. bush and ross perot battle for the white hse. stronger numbers now? guest: we thought it was interesting, particularly the 1994 election. you thought there would have been a surge then. but there was not. but there was not. the next highest total was in 1992, when you had that memorable presidential race between clinton and george stage h. bush and ross perot. the record 100 candidates that year. -- there were 2100 candidates that year. host: tell us

the world cup will not be a magic wand that will cure poverty, build houses, schools home and touch everyb. right here in capetown we have 220 informal settlements, people living in the shacks. where we in a concerted fashion are upgrading those settlements with infrastructure, sewage, water, electricity. this is an enormous task. so the world cup was never capable of solving all of that or making that disappear. >> reporter: his son would have loved the world cup. he had been a sporting teenager until he started doing tick which turned him into a psychotic monster. she showed me the shack she built for him just to keep him out of the house. she'd have to put up burglar bars on the windows and doors because her junky son would steal everything even her clothes to buy tick. her son was extremely violent, attacking his mother with scissors, a bread knife, even an ax. >> i just wanted somebody to help me. but there was nobody. >> reporter: it can gone on for years before she finally snapped. early one morning she took some rope and entered the shack. >> it's like i had to get the courage to

senator bennett asked about waving the mmgic wand. we need the school psychologist. + we need the school social workers. you know, how do we structure this so that we make a great attempt at figuring out how problem?ing to solve this >> it's a difficult issue to find these people and one of the things that we've tried to do is we took a look at some of the research in cham bier lain and got our building of capacity in providing the skill training and the mastery and some different things like tuition credits for their recertification, the chance to go to a convention with their peers. we put all that stuff out there and allows us to provide that they're going to come to a supportive environment that's going to build their supportive capacity. we help teachers become nationally board certified. we've tried to provide all kinds of building capacities once we get them there. getting them there is a difficult point. there are two things that are going on we're having some success with. it's a federal grant called project select. if you ha

if i had a magic wand, i would devote the progressive movement resources to protecting the integrity of the debate happening in the media every day to really exposing the lies, fear that we see from the right wing, from rush limbaugh. is essentially, this conservative movement stands for nothing except for being against a thing progressive and wanting to destroy it in using nazi.like not see a it is bigger than an election cycle. that is one way in which i think we can have a significant impact. >> i would like to make a couple of comments about the tea party and fox news. i come from a very small time in -- small towns and illinois with three dozen people. i grew up in a democratic family in chicago. i have lived with these people for a very long time. i am a member -- i have been to 80 party meeting there. i am on their mailing list -- i have been to a tea party there and am on their mailing list. these people are not crazy. they are the pillars of this community. the problem is they are getting all of their information from fox news. they are getting misinformation. we have a very

they wand this conflict. well, once the conflict was upon the israelis, i think by just about any definition of restraint, the israelis used restraint. they climbed aboard with quite literally paint guns on thir shoulders to use when they landed. the only arms they had were side arms for the personal protection of these guys and when they lowered themsves down on the boat, they were set upon by these humanitarian peace activists, i say with my tongue firmly in cheek. they were set upon with knives. they were set upon with steel poles. they were set upon with bullets. they were magazines and casings on the boat that did not match any of the israeli side arms. it was tragic that that happened. it was sad that it happened. but it was almost entirely the decision of the people on that boat. now, i say almost entirely because that boat did not just appear out of the eithe it didn't just appearer, it didn't just appear out of thin air, it had support from the worst enemies of peace in th region and the worst enemie

morning there was among its many stories among aspects of the oil spill there was this one written, just wand to share it with the you had a yeps, oil major is now forced to tack al public rellings disaster and here's what it says. on tupes evening, the executive was having dinner in a new orleans restaurant with thad allen when they were interrupted by james carval. t legendary democrat and never having been introduced, mr. hayward and carval spent the next 20 minutes symptoms sometimes heatedly agreing to disagree about the nature of the operation to contain the disaster threatening to ruin the latter's native louisiana and two the two then agreed to meet again in the same restaurant this time next year, it was terse but pol light to mr. carval and gave my skept criticism to what he was promising. goich i started off talking tenant uncertainties of oil spills. there is a certainty to an oil spill, though in that once the oil is spilled, you really can't clean it up. exxon spent $2 billion. in its cleanup activities and cleaned up anywhere between 8 and 12% of the oil it spilled which i find

there is a better mixing already if we apply with a wand. our general strategy is to use subsea dispersants whenever possible and minimize the amount on the surface. we did some video last week when i was out there. one of the offshore supply vessels was spraying water around they discover enterprise and that was putting down volatile compounds that are coming out of the oil that was sitting around the ship that was producing -- there is a threat to personal safety and health on those vapors. dispersant put this down. it would rather use water to do it. there may be times where because of the situation you might want to use dispersant to reduce the vapors. those of the types of things we would talk about. they give us a plan and epa is aware of that. our federal court better is trying to minimize dispersant but there are times when they're going to use them but we need to use those in injudicious quantities. we will be relying on burning and mechanical skimming. the president made the decision last week, we authorized the six segments create

in my opinion, susan, a crazy theory -- if i had a magic wand, i would say, first, simply get out. because around the nation, we are in deep trouble for the sick, lane, and port, -- cutting for the sick, lame, and port. host: from "the new york times," jack abram loft, who spent time in prison for fraud and corruption, he works at a kosher pizzeria in baltimore. it says -- also in "the new york times" this morning, they cover cnn's decision to bring elliott's big sur to the anchor dax -- eliot spitzer to the anchor desk. also, jim demint on the front page of "the washington times." they are suggesting he is expanding his clout all the way to utah with the wind of might leave. -- win of mike lee. that is "the washington times" today. the last -- al gore has an opinion piece in "the wall street journal," along with david blood. if you get on any political website today, you will find a story about a former vice president that he is surely not pleased. it is virtually everywhere. oregon investigated sex accusation against gore. this was broken apparently by "the national enquirer" abo

we applied it with a wand at the point of discharge. there's a better mixing already. much more effective at much lower rate. our general strategy is to use subsea disfirstants and minimize the amount needed for safety and accident circumstances. i'll give you one, if you saw we did video out there. in the background one of the off-shore supply vehicles was spraying water all around. that was to put down compounds that were coming up out of the oil that was around the ship that was producing. there actually was a threat to personal safety and health there on those vapors. disperseants put those down. you rather use water, there may be times that you use disperseants to reduce those vapors. those are the types of things we would talk about. they give us a plan and e.p.a. is aware of that. our on-scene coordinator is trying to reduce that. we need to use those in judicious amounts. sand berms, at this point the president made the decision last week, we authorized six segments presented by the corps of engineers. i understand they have funny mechanisms in place. the real

. >> if i had a magic wand i would be deeoting all of the progressive movement resources to protecting the integrity of the debate happening in the media every day to really the fears that we seeefrom the white brinrigtht wing, because y the llft wing essentially only stands for being agaiist it. i think it ii important for the future of the country, not just about the political agenda. it is much bigger than that. that is one way in which i'd think we can certtinly have a significant impact. >> i would like to make two comments. i come from a very small town in illinois. i am a member -- i have been to a t. party member, and i am on their mailing list. i see all the things that come through. these people in this very small town are not crazy. they are the pillars of this community. the problem is they're getting all of their information from fox news. we have a very large segment of the population who are good americans, but thee are getting the wrong innormation. it is the same crap we see every day on fox news. that is their main news source. they have real concerns, like we all do.
