Tonight. reporter: hundreds of people filtering in and out of the capitol. some are outside carrying signs but the vast majority of them are inside. they have taken over in there over the past week. actually today, there was some rules established for the upcoming weekend. they re going to limit the space where the public can be. but for the past week, they have taken over the staus state house and that continues to be the case today. i even saw some people from los angeles that came in in solidarity with these folks that are protesting the governor s will here. really? all the way from l.a., just like you, ted. thanks so much there for us in madison. and as thousands of libyans flee across the border, trying to get out of there, americans trying to get out by ferry. i m going to speak to fareed zakaria if moammar gadhafi is removed from power. next. also, new allegations a top general in afghanistan ordered a
Control. az z. ntan is also under opposition control. and triply is the ga deaf phi control, so the circle is tightening. we understand from reports on the ground that gadhafi is bringing in reinforcements to triply and also hiring. it s interesting, because, what was it, two days ago, maybe yesterday when we saw gadhafi speaking on state tv, now we just heard his voice this morning, but in his rambling way, he was blaming a lot of this on the youth and osama bin laden. it s sounding more and more like it s all coming unglued frankly. don t drink nescafe in opposition-controlled city. osama bin laden is drugging the youth of libya.
Repress i be totalitarian regimes. hundreds of thousands of people killed, imprisoned. tortured. for people to come out and express themselves and change the regime as is inevitably going to happen, i think this is an extraordinary moment. i wants to pick up on your comment character comment in a moment. but just sort of looking back, it will be two weeks tomorrow since we sat here and saw a reasonably smooth easing out, reasonably smooth easing out of hosni mubarak. is what we re seeing in libya more ominous since the role of the military is quite different? it s quite different in many different senses. first, libya is an oil state. so it has enormous revenues of its own. it doesn t need the world. tunisia needed european investment. egypt needed american aid, it needed tourists. so both these countries were sensitive to what the outside world was saying and the pressure of the international community. libya has been a rogue state for
The table, which is basically a compromise. thanks, ted. finally here, we ve been trying to get the story on for you. dr. pepper telling the ladies, you re not allowed. also oil prices on the rise, alison kosik is live in new york. we ve got to talk libya. how is the situation there going to affect gas prices here in the u.s.? is if you ve been at a gas station, you re already feelings the gas prices rose three cents a gallon overnight aaa saying the national average is 3.23 a gallon. analysts say $4 a gallon issh airfares are soaring as well with airlines taking a pounding, passing the costs on to consumers. my gas tank is on empty.
That s why they are working to unseat me, overthrow me, but i have to say, although we can chuckle at some of it, it is still laced a little bit with, you know, sort of worrying, threatening undertones, saying, for instance that if you are a foreign journalist, you have come in illegally, and that might be an issue for foreign journalists that might become a target. i was talking to fareed, and he said president obama needs to say very clearly, like this is the time, calling for the end of the regime. so let s play the what-if game. if that happens, if gadhafi goes away, who is the number two? i think we should play the when game, when gadhafi goes. at this point it s becoming almost impossible to imagine he ll be able to hold on for the longer term. the shorter term is impossible to predict, but libya is very
