i love the state. i love their passion. i just know that the power of the people is going to be successful. we will stay on this story. that's the "the ed show" live from madison, wisconsin. so great to see ed out there in madison with that awesome crowd. thanks so you at home for staying with us. there's lots going on tonight. this is california. california is the largest state in the country. not largest in terms op la s of area. that would be alaska and texas. in terms of the number people that live in the state california wins by a zillion. it's equivalent to the combined populations of wyoming, vermont, alaska, delaware, montana, new hampshire, maine, new mexico, kansas, arkansas, mississippi and iowa.
