and what do a pilot, a realtor and a youth pather have in common? they were concerned citizens who ran for congress and won. minnesota s chip caddic, michigan s bill heinzga and james lang ford join us to tell us how they plan to make a difference. stars of tlc s d.c. cupcakes, sophie and katherine with mouth watering treats. here s something cool, phil collin, lead guitarist of def leppard will rock the house with me on the stage. [ applause ] my book is causing the stir this week. and some of it is frankly from my own verbal gaffe. in a radio interview on monday, i said president obama spent part of his early life in kenya. i meant to say indonesia. his father and grandfather were from kenya. my slip did not go unnoticed. if you watch the news, another day of ranting and nonsensical comments but enough about mike huckabee, he caused a huge national controversy after he said president obama grew up in kenya though he didn t visit there until he was 20. remember when peop
mike: all right, a pilot, youth pastor and state representative walk into a room. this is the story of three concerned american citizens with very different backgrounds who didn t like the direction our leaders in washington were taking so they decided to try to make a change by running for congress in last year s midterm elections. before i speak to them. i want you to learn more about our guests today. james langford graduated the university of texas and received a master s degree in divinity. for 13 years he was the program director of false creek, the nation s largest youth camp. fed up with government growth and spending, he ran for congress and won oklahoma s fifth congressional district. bill heizinga with became a
