he s very determined and several of them are. you have to realize even everybody that was newly elected didn t get elected by the tea party. so you have to take the new members and cut them in half. but they don t have any real clout. i mean, they re not the majority in the house and you still have the senate and you still have the president. so there s no way they re going to have their way. but the numbers just aren t there. i m just hoping that more american also wake up and send a stronger message here to washington to clean up our act. congressman paul, you have not announced whether you re running for president. i m not even going to bother asking you, but donald trump has been getting a lot of attention now. do you think he s a viable candidate? he looked pretty viable to me. he was alive and well and kicking and i guess that s what it requires. as long as we check his birth certificate, i guess we ll be okay. congressman paul, thank you.
the journalist risked their lives entering the mandatory evacuation zone, exposing themselves to radiation levels. what they found was heartbreaking. dogs still in their homes, still waiting in vain for their owners to return. one dog chained up, left behind, starving. his ribs viz in. one of the journalists gave this starving dog his lunch. and this captures the desperate situation. a dog left behind, likely tied up, who chewed its way through its leash. there are no organizations that will come to rescue them. for them, hope is virtually nonexistent. kyung lah joins us live right now from tokyo. there are a lot of interest in the dogs, particularly that one found tethered to a pole, people asking whether the man who shot the video untied the dog. do you know? reporter: he did not. and he says that, and we just spoke with him a short time ago,
coming up, we got so many e-mails and tweets about a story we told you about last night, a dog chained up, left behind in the evacuation zone in japan starving. we ll get a live update on what is happening to them, if anything is being done to them. we thought we d also revisit a dog story with a happy ending. the dramatic rescue of a dog floe floating on debris. and later, word that a certain tan lady, and i use that term loosely, is about to make way more money than you can possibly imagine and that lands her on our ridicu-list. oh, snooki, will we all be working for you some day?
