Three more candidates entered the presidential field this week. Do we need them? Former Texas Governor Rick Perry (pictured) had a tough go four years ago when he ran, will he rise to the top this time? The Senate reauthorized the USA Freedom Act and Bob Scheer says some of the changes are a step in the right direction. Has political correctness on college campuses gone too far? Have we reached a tipping point?

Josh Barro (New York Times) moderates from the Center. On the Left is Robert Scheer (TruthDig.com) Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right. Joan Walsh (Salon.com, MSNBC) is our special guest.
