>> it turns it into a solid instantly. >> okay. let's go ahead and start to show it. >> okay what we're going to do, we're going to create the spill, okay, now-- >> i wish the spill was confined to that tank right there by the way. >> this would be nice. >> it's certainly colorful, isn't it? >> all right, so we're going to, now that's oil, it's gone to the surface. >> that's right, what we're doing, a pro pryty blend of polymers, you could eat them. >> thanks for not going me to. >> they make surgical gloves, use it in medical devices and what i'm going to do is treat the spill. first what we would do is treat the edges if we were out in the gulf, try to treat the edge and make its own boom. so we can actually hold the oil. hopefully we're almost through because they're telling me time, time, time, so many things. >> you're not going to believe how many different ideas we've got and that's not all of them. there are many more, we can't even begin to show you. >> that's right. so it's fairly quick. >> okay. >> and pour extra on there and take your magic wand and say ab bra abracadabra. >> okay. >> now, i'm going to remove it. >> oh, wow, it's like play-doh now, isn't it. >> yes, sir. >> a wad of goo, red goo. now, is that harmful other than the oil in it. >> actually it makes the oil nontoxic, what we did is turn a toxic chemical into a nontoxic chemical. now, when you have your drinking glass. you want me to hold the coffee filter. get you a little taste here. >> okay. >> i can't believe i'm actually going to agree to do this. i want to talk to the people at fox, i think my contract needs to be renewed with a significant boost of my combat pay or something. okay. now the residual of the compound is on top so we've just filtered the powder out. >> yes, sir. >> you drink it first, dan, no offense, but-- thanks, now that you did it, i don't have to (laughter) >> okay, i'll give it a shot. gee, tastes like water. no, it's fine, it really is, it's amazing. >> just time-- i'll leave that for you. these other guys got stuff, too. >> this is a phenomenal demonstration, and this is just one of many ideas. but let me real quickly ask you, have you got lots of material that you could make available to the gulf coast. >> we have about 100,000 pounds so we're very limited on our resources, what we will do is polish the sheen, the other materials to get the bum being oil out and the rainbow screen, that's our forte, we can pull that off and doesn't take very much. we're treating it in the longest oil water in the world use about eight ounces per cellsen there's over 8,000 cells. >> dan, thank you very much. >> there you go. >> thank you. [applaus [applause] >> well, when the president claimed to be talking to the people in the gulf coast region so that he would know who's back side to kick, i was offended, but it wasn't by the coorsness of his language, frankly, i've heard worse, but i was offended that he still fails to understand that what's lacking is not his kicking someone in the rear, but rather for him to start being the president, s stop blaming everyone in sight, making useless speeches and dispatching members of his administration for carefully orchestrated photo ops ap instead, lead. ronald reagan was often maligned because he was an actor who became president, but i believe that's a whole lot better than being a president who has become an actor. playing the role in make believe, but not understanding that the real job is not delivering lines from the teleprompter, but delivering a solution. tonight, we're going to introduce you to the people who have offered real solution that is no one in the white house or at bp seems to want to hear. the situation in the gulf coast is personal for me. i'm a property owner there and so are some of my friends. but the tragedy along the coast is not just economic and ecological, it's emotional for many of the families for whom the gulf coast is their part of the american dream. this region is often dubbed the red neck rivera by those drawn to the sugar white sands of the beaches that meet that brilliant emerald water of the gulf. it's the playground of the middle class from the states that mostly make up the southeastern conference. if you drive along highway 30-a you'll probably see the emblem the of the lsu tigers, old miss rebels, tennessee volunteers, crimson tide. florida gators, georgia bulldogs and other teams whose fans will fill my e-mailbox for not mentioning them as well. but it's where people from the south take their families for a vacation or at least dream of taking them. when i was little, my family couldn't afford vacations like that. but my friends went. and i listened to their memories and i dreamed of my o own, one day being able to watch the dolphins play or listen to the waves crash against the most beautiful beaches i've ever seen. look, it's not just tourism, it's not fishing and shrimping, it's a culture, it's a way of life that's being threatened, not just by the oil spill, but by the inept and arrogant attempts by the president to sound and look interested. the white house and bp both rejected offers from the dutch government to send ships with oil booms just three days into the spill. they now ignore pleas from gulf coast governors and ideas from people like those you're going to meet tonight and the only thing flowing more freely than the oil from the wreckage of the deepwater horizon are the tears of a big part of america who watch their home, their playground, their wild life and their dreams get covered in oil. well, that's my view, and i welcome yours. you can contact me at mike huckabee.com, click on the fox news feedback section, that's mike huckabee.com. well, he's a petroleum engineer with a degree in chemistry and specializes in oil wells and on friday, he met with officials at bp about ways to safely clean up the gulf. please welcome president of eli and associates, john, good to have you here today. thank you very much (applause) >> you actually met with some of the people from bp. tell me what did they say? are they listening now maybe to some of the kind of ideas we're going to show today? >> i believe so. they, and i might give you a little bit of background quickly, i have an employee that works in their office, i've worked with him a long time and i told him that i was going to be coming up here and they, allowed a bp to meet with me. turns out he was a close friend and basically gave me the latitude to say whatever i want today say. >> mike: so what do you want to say, john, tell us, come on. >> well, i want to say that they're working hard to gather up that oil. and in fact, this weekend, they will be putting a new cap, one of the controlling type caps and they're very, they feel very positive that they're going to be able to capture more of the oil and get it more under control. that's their major emphasis right now. >> mike: well, john's going to be with us the whole show and give us his expert opinion on products like this. they say that hay is for horses. did you know it's also for oil cleanup?

>> yes, sir, you're exactly right and from the beginning, saturday, the first saturday in may we had what we thought was going to be a small meeting, but had about 30 towns people here and that's where a lot of the ideas came out. and the ideas consist of several ways to break up the wave action. and then we narrowed that group down on the following sunday to about ten, and at that point was when we decided on the barges and what we had seen happening this whole time was that all the boom was being rendered ineffective due to wave action. >> so i know that you've had the cooperation and support of governor bob riley in alabama. he he's kind of said to you guys, comb get it. >> yes, sir. >> initially everybody was reluctant to support us. we, we had issues fighting through the bureaucracy, even at that, at one point to the state and the federal level, but then the state eased up on us and we still had quite a battle for unified command to get approval to do anything. at that point is when i made the statement that we're going to do it no matter what. >> mike: the things you're doing, are they being effe effective? are you finding it's helping your community save off the threat of the oil? >> without a doubt. when we first deployed the booms, or correction, the barges last sunday, we had about two and a half feet chop out in the bay. the water behind the barges was smooth as a swimming pool which let me know that the boom would effectively be able to do its job. with the barges in place. >> mike: all right, jamie, i want it say thanks to you, the people of magnolia springs, you guys are doing a great job and reminding us again if americans are turned loose it's amazing what they can do when they don't have to have, you know, their hands lifted ap ask the government is it okay if we take care of your own communities. god bless you, and i hope other counties leak you and walton county, florida, realize they don't have to wait for permission to take care of themselves. >> up next, a powder that would not only remove the oil, but the toxic materials, too. a-plus absorbants, bill. >> sir. >> go ahead and tell me what your product does as you're making your oil spills we're' making a lot of oil spills today. >> feel like the greatest polluter on earth this whole time. >> our product is an organic biodegradab biodegradable, peat based. >> all natural product. >> all natural, the various elements that we have around us, and forgot one little thing. >> mike: okay. >> see, here's what happens just when you have oil of cour course. >> mike: yeah. >> don't sling that too much, bill. >> i'm sorry, an expensive suit. >> salvation army i've got a garment coming your way soon. >> and this is going to soak up the oil. >> right, it's quick. one of the advantages of our product is that it also tends to suck up things like be benzene's and vapors. >> mike: this is not going to hurt the wild life, it actually will take some of the toxic stuff out of the water and out of the oil. >> right. and it-- it makes the environment safe, if you put it on the open water and the bird comes in and he can land and it's been sitting there a little while. maybe he doesn't want to be there anymore, it's not a good place and he flies away. that's the idea. and so it hasn't been on there very long, but have another feather hear. in just a little while. >> mike: we don't have much little while to do. better put it in there. make it quick. >> mike: john, tell me as you're watching this, one feather soaked with oil, this doesn't look hardly touched at all. >> pretty impressive. >> so the idea is you can save so many animals, so many creatures in the environment. >> mike: let me see the feather here, i think a lot of people may not have seen it. if you see and look at the differences between the two feathers, this is one with the oil and this is without the oil and it's pretty amazing and this product. how much of this product do you have available at that you could offer on the gulf coast. >> we have 1.4 million tons. >> mike: tons not pounds, tons. >> tons of proven reserves. that's enough-- >> has anybody from bp called you? >> no. >> mike: john, this looks to me like this is an all hands on deck moment where we're seeing a lot of different products and we still have a couple to show. but doesn't this make sense that we would bring everyone's idea to the gulf coast and deal with this, maybe there's not one thing that's the magic bullet, but a lot of different bullets all of which have their own level of magic. >> i think what we're seeing here is a super example of american ingenuity and if we turn things over to people that have the experience and the knowledge and capability. they can solve the problem. >> bill, i want to say thank you very much, great to have you here, thank you, bill white side. >> a pleasure. >> he's got a million tons of this stuff ready to go. >> all right, how can your hair cut help clean up the mess in the gulf?

[applause]. >> wow. >> and there's nothing in there, but hair. >> nothing in there, but hair, we have a floattation device, a thin piece of polypropylenpol. it picked up virtually-- >> it runs through a wringer and get 90% of the oil out of it and 200 times, recovered 50 gallons of oil. >> this same piece of hair you could use 200 different times. >> 200 different times, get a quarter of oil out every time. >> is this being used on the gulf. we've got people on the shores talking to people and meeting with people at bp and testing to see it can be used. >> we've just tested it. get it down there. >> you notice how quick it picked the oil up. it doesn't have to sit out there for a very long time. >> there was some talk at one point, phil, people were sending hair in and stuffing it in pantyhose and epa said, wait, we haven't tested that. >> right. what happened was, i got some press back in the 2000. and the salons around the country heard this, they saw it on tv, so when i would come home every day i'd have boxes of hair that people shipped as far as as alas sta and i live in alabama. and anyway there's a nonprofit organization out in california called matter of trust. started and she picked up and we let her have the hair so they could use that to clean up oil spills. i was there in '07 and used the mats in the oil spill in '07. when lisa showed up in the gulf with the pantyhose she had stuffed they told her it wasn't epa approved. our product is epa approved. and we're going to do-- >> you say it's not epa approved and out of curiosity, is there any damage going to be done by filling up a pair of pantyhose with hair? >> i doubt it. >> i mean, people put their hair in the ocean when they're swimming so it's not like the ocean's never had hair. it couldn't be worse than the oil. >> sounds like a little bit of bureaucracy. >> no, bureaucracy? >> and surely not. >> i have to say our product, this product here is epa approved. it's been approved to be used in the gulf. >> i wish i'd had some of this for the girl in front of me in the third grade and used it to oil out her hair, but that's a whole other story and that's i'm not going there. i'm in big trouble. we're going to new orleans next and talk with someone who has a machine that does have b p's attention and we'll be right back some more, great ideas that america has got we open somebody else will listen to. éo ♪ >> tiny bubbles, millions and millions of them. my next guest says if they can separate oil and water and bp is listening. joining us now from new orleans, eco sphere chairman, charles, you have some pretty interesting machinery that's now being employed. what does this contraption of yours do? >> well, governor, behind me is a mobile water treatment plant on a 55 foot trailer, ready to be deployed tomorrow as we get the word from bp. basically, it's a highly advanced oxidation reactor, the black tubes you see behind me are reactors and with those, we can progress over a million gallons of oil water mix a day just the way we are in your home state in arkansas and oklahoma on natural gas wells in oil shale areas. so, this is a tested method. it doesn't use chemicals, primarily oxidation process? >> yes, governor, this is an oxidation process in which we use ultra sonic cavitation, we break down the hydrocarbons and remove them and remove the chemicals, it's a completely chemical-free process well proven. done over 130 well sites in oklahoma and arkansas and not only do we have that treatment process, but in the unit behind me we also have an oil water separator with a 2000 g-force unit that can also recover 50,000 gallons of oil a day. it's an industrial application and we're here ready to be deployed and team from stuart, florida is here with me and we're waiting for the word. >> mike: so charles, you say bp is talking to you. are they turning you loose to go or still looking at it? >> well, we're, we're partnered with mid gulf recovery and under contract to provide a lot of infrastructure and support to bp and discussing with them now how we can join in that effort and go out and treat the oil and treat the water and we can do this both at the well site and at the marshlands. by putting highly oxygenated water down the pipe at the well site with millions of nano bubbles, those bubbles will have lots of buoyancy, they'll adhere to the oil and rather than having the oil disspers throughout the water column as it is with the disspers sants now, that water would rise in a cone in an area that's controlled and treat it in the surface before it reaches the beaches, so we're talking about treatment at the well site and treatment at the marshes. >> mike: thank you very much. joining us from new orleans, eco sphere. john, you've seen a lot of different possible solutions today. your professional in this field. evaluate for me, tell me, should we be turning these types of processes loose? >> oh, i don't think there's any doubt. the last one we talked about, the ozonics process, is a technique that's been used for a year and a half. it's a company in florida and i'm a little prejudiced there. i'm more retainer to them. i've been beating up on them for a year and a half, move them away from taking water and putting it on the ground, to reutilizing, recycling water, but the technique, the other techniques we've had shows the ingenuity, the innovation, makes you proud to be an american. >> mike: well, i think that's what we want to make sure everybody gets out of this show today. there are a lot of ideas. the best idea of all is that americans can do it. americans have always been able to be a people who are resilient enough to answer about any problem and just confront it and find a way. we always have hadered that necessity is the mother of invention. well there are a lot of inventions out there that necessity has created. the necessity of an oil spill. now, it's not about who's to blame, whose fault it is. what we need to be talking about is how can we utilize all of the brilliant innovations and the creative ideas that americans have put together and i hope very much that not only you have enjoyed this program, i hope the president has heard it. let your friends know, that america is alive and well and we will beat this issue like we have on every other front. and i just want to say thanks to the many people who are continuing to work late at night at their kitchen tables coming up with the ideas that can make us a great country and keep us a great country. thank you for joining us. i want to say thanks to all of our folks from the fox studios in new york city, this is mike huckabee, good night and god bless. bless. bless.
