is a campaign that is more about a vision of flying around the world, talking to people, as he said. it s certainly not one of the youth drafting him. i would be quite sure that this was an influence of corporations here in the united states and private individuals that may well have capitalized on his will to see himself flying around the world doing that, but the haitian people need now a leader who s genuinely willing to sacrifice. and one of the reasons i don t know very much about wyclef jean is i haven t seen or heard anything of him in these last six months that i ve been in haiti. i think he s an important voice. i hope he doesn t sacrifice that voice by taking the eye off the very devastating realities on the ground and the very difficult strategic future that it s got in putting itself back together. those are important concerns that you have, critically important concerns. and i want to go more in depth on some of them. anderson, stand by. sean penn, stand by as well. dr.
place where i came from, and this was my identity. and every time i looked at that passport, i always remember the people of my country. so you never became a naturalized u.s. citizen? no, i m a green card holder with a lot of the rest of my friends. i m an example of what you would call the american dream taking it back to haiti. wyclef, we have many more questions. you want to be president of haiti, you got to answer some serious questions. we got some tough questions coming up as well. i want you to stand by. we ll continue our conversation with wyclef jean. he s running for the president of haiti. we ll continue the conversation on larry king live right after this. lots of discounts on car insurance. can i get in on that? are you a safe driver? yes. discount! do you own a home? yes. discount! are you going to buy online? yes! discount! isn t getting discounts great? yes! there s no discount for agreeing with me. yeah, i got carried away.
well. and these buildings so poorly constructed, wolf, as you saw, they come tumbling down. so many of these crush injuries as a result. but so much of this is about planning, which is why some places around the world can sustain earthquakes better than haiti could. and after the earthquake itself, just a complete lack of medical resources. it s tough, wolf, as a doc, because so many preventable deaths occurred in those first few weeks after the earthquake because people simply couldn t get medical care. now, granted, during an earthquake, it s challenging no matter what. but there was just absolutely no reserve to be able to take care of so many of these challenging problems. what s the greatest health related issue facing the people of haiti, sanjay, right now? well, even before the earthquake, about half the country, maybe even less than that, had access to clean water. it s not something people in the united states think about when they think about health care problems. but if
gone out of business. so people who have completely treatable, completely preventable, in some ways, problems, simply can t get care. so it s an access issue now as far as your question, the biggest health problem. there just isn t enough doctors. there aren t enough hospitals and there aren t enough permanent structures to sustain the demand for health care. what i worry about enormously and i know you do, and i know a lot of others worry as well, if there s another weather-related issue, a hurricane or tropical storm. so many hundreds of thousands of people simply living in tents. the scenario would be devastating for the people of haiti. sanjay, stand by for a moment. i want to take a quick break. when we come back, we ll go back to port-au-prince.

wolf, i tell you, i m going to be on the ground campaigning throughout the country, but an election won in haiti and lost in the u.s. or international community is not an election. the reason why i m doing this is because there has to be an election that is won around the world. the haitian people have suffered thus far, and it is time for us to listen to their voice and help bring back investment into this country. are the donors of the international community that pledged billions of dollars to help haiti after the earthquake, are those pledges being met? no. i think well, let s start off with the $5.2 billion. i think only 6% or 7% of that was given. this is where wyclef come in. if that was me i would get on my plane and i would go around the world, i m looking at the donors and saying, what s promised, we need it. because we have over 1.5 million people living in tents.
