>> you have my endorsement. >> that may hurt you. thanks for being with us. let not your heart be troubled. the news continues. greta is next. tonight we have a blockbuster new show. the republican candidates for president are all revved up over issues and each other. in minutes three of them go on the record here live from las vegas. we have newt gingrich, michelle bachmann, and herman cain. they're minutes away. first, former alaska sarah palin joins us. >> good evening, greta. how are you? >> i'm okay. we've had debate number eight. let me ask you a two part question. what were you looking for as a voter? what do you think most americans were looking for? >> i was looking for candidates to start telling us actually what their plan is, not just verbalize this idea that they have a plan and that they'll present us with a plan on how to deal with the housing market that's in the tank and these

jobless numbers that are just atrocious but actually present in detail their plan. herman cain thankfully, although a lot of people are criticizing the plan, he has specifics that he laid out. that was appreciated. that's what i was looking for. didn't get a lot of that. certainly i think americans in general are looking for eventually here that top candidate to start rising to the top so we can start concentrating on preparing the g.o.p. candidate to face obama in the debates in a general election and make sure that he's a one-term president. we didn't get this out of the debate, to be honest with you. i think americans would agree with me that we're still looking for that candidate who will rise to the top and be the frontrunner. >> well, i find myself, i confess instead of paying more attention when they're bickering and fighting, and i know that's wrong. i know that's not where the substance is, but you know, that's what i -- imembarrassed tto say when that happens, it piques my interest. i sort of wonder if that's what

grabs the american people's interest as well. are they more adult and interested in the substantive issues? >> i think we are more interested in substance and that's why like tonight newt gingrich again i think did the best because he seems to be above a lot of the bickering that goes on. let me confess, too, we're four hours behind you guys in time zone, so when the debate started, a couple minutes into the debate my kids started walking through the door after school and after play dates and they're kind of griping and bickering amongst each other, and then the debate in my other ear, the candidates are up there bickering and fighting amongst each other. i honestly for a minute or two didn't know which group to listen to and which group made more sense. thankfully the candidates calmed down and started talking more about detailing the things that are serious, an electorate serious, but for a while there was that bickering and some of

that infighting that really turns a lot of people off from campaigns and from politics. it kind of gets in the way of us being able to decide who it should be to rise to the top to face barack obama in the future debates. >> well, you raise one of the issues that i was hoping to hear about tonight. there was one question that was actually an issue i wrote on my notes before hand. i think it's the issue that matters a whole lot to the american people. so many american people, their homes are underwater, they owe more than the homes are worth, and it really is a crisis because even flake get a job -- if you can get a job in another town, you can't sell your house plus you got the bank breathing down your throat. i guess that's sort of -- i want to know what someone can do about that or what someone plans to do. i don't think we got quite deep into that. >> we didn't get deep enough into that. we also didn't get deep into issues like china's rise and the eu and other important issues that are international that do affect america and our economy, but as for the housing market,

that's why we like to hear from santorum and cain who talk about personal responsibility and living not just government living within its means but we as individuals living within our means and not becoming so indebted to, you know, this permanent financial class of those who make decisions from us that can ultimately hurt us. we like to hear about personal responsibility, but ultimately what we need to hear from these candidates is detailed plans about how jobs can be credited, but how it is that we are going to attract industry and production and reward for work ethic again in america, natural resource development in order to create more jobs in america so that people don't have to worry about how in the world are they going to pay their mortgage, how is it that they will pay their bills? they will have jobs because we'll have industry here again. we get that, of course, by -- i think we need to eliminate the corporate income tax that is currently highest in the

industrialized world chasing jobs offshore. we reduce that, eliminate. that's one step we can take. i want to hear things like that from these candidates, details, specifics on how it is that we will attract industry here, create jobs, let the private sector keep more of what they earn in order to create jobs, not these nebulous some day i'll have a plan to present to you all voters, stay tuned, and hang in there for the next debate. maybe you're going to hear it then. >> i wonder to what extent debates become sort of like beauty contests or even sporting events where we have our favorite candidate or favorite jersey, and to what stent, you know, we really do learn something substantive because as i go through this, i probably now that we're at the eighth debate, i could have answered each question for each candidate because i've heard them say it. they haven't strayed from it. not that it's a criticism, it's just that we've been over this. i'm wondering what is sort of the value of them, although

they're very engaging to watch. >> they are valuable because this is the conventional tool that we have to help vet candidates before they reach that general election, and as i've expressed before, we learned our lesson in electing an individual, barack obama, who wasn't vette vetted, and here to around barack obama with no primary opponent on the democrat side, he again will get to skate through into a general election, and it's kind of a necessary evil, i think, in some respects, parts of these debates, but again, it is necessary. we need to have these candidates vetted burks wvetted, but the he debates, maybe they can press a little harder on detail. it amazes me that the candidates go off and get to escape actually answering the question, they get to spin and pivot and go off into their sound bites they want in the ten seconds they have to make a poten point. the host needs to dig a bit more and come back to that candidate and say no, that's not what i asked you. here's what i asked you, please

answer it. >> i guess one of the complexities, and far be it from me to defend another network, but it's complicated in the sense that you've got so many candidates up there and you've got a sense like you've got to give everyone sort of equal opportunity. you ask a question and they spin you. you can't sort of zero in and be a jerk. you have all these people expecting to have the same amount of time. there might be a wiser way to do it if these debates are broken down into teams of three or four to effectively do that. otherwise, you're sort of forced in almost having a game show aspect with so many up there and trying to accommodate them. i can understand sort of the difficulty in trying to really zero in and get those answers. >> yeah. that's a good point. well, that's where the journalism needs to -- the journalist really need to exercise their talents and make sure that the questions are being asked precisely by the candidates whom they are questioning. >> you know, actually, one of the perfect examples of what you raise is even the question that was asked about foreign policy, you know. what do you do about foreign aid?

i mean, which countries are you willing to cut back on, which ones are you not? those are no enormously complicd topics. what we sort of do to these poor candidates is say you've got 60 seconds to answer. what are you going to do about pakistan? they hate us and we're giving them a lot of money. you've got sick seconds. now that my question has been so long, you only have 40 seconds. >> that's why it's refreshing to hear somebody candid and blunt like michelle boynton beach -- like -- like michelle obama or michelle bachmann. she said she would not cut foreign aid to israel. there was a 60 second sound bite. appreciate the candidness in that respect. >> we talk about the spinning. i think we got spun around as a viewer, and i was taking notes and trying to do a million things getting ready for the show, so i may have missed it. the whole question about illegal immigrant and about the people

in the country and what to do about the situation. it's an enormously difficult and complicated topic and sometimes prone to sound bites. we really haven't gotten a really strong sort of plan about what to do because this affects the lives, families, and has all sorts of problems. we didn't get that answer. i'm not sure you can in 60 seconds. >> we can't in 60 seconds. look at rick perry trying to explain he's worked for ten years as a governor of a border state trying to get the federal government to do its job in protecting and securing our border, and yet especially under barack obama, the federal government will not do that. he certainly had his hands full. he's seen as somebody who is incentivizing illegal immigration by providing instate tuition for those who are not residents of his state because the illegal immigrants who are there, they're not even, you know, obviously they're not residents of america legally,

much less the state of texas, so he's seen as being kind of a contradiction in policy. he hasn't been able to explain in 60 second how he can kind of coordinate his message there and be seen as somebody who does want to secure the border, not allow illegal immigrants to be hired as of course he made the point today in taking the gloves off against romney for evidently having hired illegals in his personal life, and it sounds like rick perry is having a heck of a time trying to explain his position on illega illegal immin when he has incentivized some to grasp a benefit that the majority of americans would never be able to take advantage of, instate tuition in the state of texas when, you know, they're not in the same boat as those -- >> you mentioned governor perry

swatted governor romney about hiring illegal people in the country. i don't -- my memory may be sort of faulty on this. it seemed a little bit like a cheap shot. i think the story is there were people that worked for a company who was doing lawn service for them and he hired the company or something like that. there's a lot -- there's a lot of people taking swats at each other which seem a little bit not presidential, not on the issues, and you would think in some ways rather than swatting each other, they might want to be sort of more focused on their substance and their program and how they would defeat the president. >> bingo. exactly. that is why, too, when i explained that scenario, i said it's evidently what happened. i don't know the facts. america doesn't know the facts. certainly you'll have the pun ditsz and the campaign staffers dig into that issue and the truth will be revealed whether romney engaged in knowingly hiring illegal immigrants or not. once a bell is rung like that,

it's tough to unring the bell. yes, the bottom line is we all want these presidential candidates who will be facing barack obama in the general election in the debate to start concentrating on what it is that he has done wrong in these 143 weeks that we've been underneath his failed socialist type policies that are bankrupting this country. we want to focus on what he's done wrong and how it is that the g.o.p. can do better for this country instead of the nitpicking and the kind of the cheap shots that go back and forth. again, maybe that's a necessary evil in the primary process, but gondogdoggone. it gets tiring. a lot of it is a waste of resource and time. we really want to concentrate on what really matters here. >> it's interesting. as we watch the bickering. it was like the cat who swallowed the c canary. even san trump got in a few jobs

on perry. he almost like he sat there waiting to play the position, sort of dad and let the children bicker as he waited. i thought to the extent that we sort of score these, and we probably shouldn't, i thought that was actually sort of an effective way to end it for newt. >> everybody could learn from newt gingrich and the way his calm, cool, collected manner. he's kind of seen it all before in this political game, if you will. newt gingrich would -- he would clobber barack obama in any debate, any forum that had to do with substance when it comes to policy and solutions for the challenges that america faces. newt gingrich would clobber barack obama. i don't think if he's going to be the one that surfaces as the fortunate candidate who gets to face barack obama because unfortunately, in this day and age, sometimes conventional wisdom would dictate that he who has the most money, the campaign dollars, wins. i don't want to believe that

this is going to be the case this go-around. if not newt gingrich, hopefully the other candidates, whether they have as much money as the next guy or not, will learn from newt gingrich, understand that we want to hear substance, we want to hear solutions, we don't want to hear the engagement of the nitpicking and the bickering because that plays right into the left handbook as they get ready for the general election debates. >> and regrettably, the media loves that because it spikes the viewer interest when there are few pokes. those are the sound bites, right? >> yeah. evidently they do because you know, this was what, debate number whatever it was. >> eight. >> and we still have probably a dozen more of them, and the networks love them. cable loves them because people tune in and unfortunately a lot of it is all about ratings. >> all right. well, maybe we'll get some smaller ones where we can -- where it's a little fairer to the candidates and the candidates should be probably more willing to help the networks out and sort of do something, but they've got

rules, we've got rules. it's not always the best system. any way, governor palin, thank you. >> thank you. straight ahead, speaker newt gingrich, representative michelle bachmann, and mr. herman cain are all going on the record live. that's next. also, shoppers find more than they bargained for in one grocery store. could that possibly be a bear? find out where this is and how the bear got there ... coming up.

house speaker newt gingrich wants to be president and he's here to go on the record. good evening, sir. >> good to be with you. >> the question many americans have tonight, one touched on tonight's debate is this. for the many millions of americans whose homes are underwater and they've managed to make their payments every month, their mortgage banks, the banks have no incentives to refinance the home because they're making the payments. this is killing people because they can't move to another city to get a job. what would you do for those americans? >> actually, i've been working with leaders of local small community banks who want to do exactly what you're describing, and you have to repeal the dodd frank bill.

the way the dodd frank bill works, it dramatically regulates the banks. it sends a signal to the regulators to tell them not to make the loans, not to roll over the money, and in effect, it encourages foreclosures and encourages the bank actually seizing the property, so until you repeal the dodd-frank bill which i think the house republicans ought to do this work, this is a terrible bill which is killing housing, killing small banks, killing small businesses, and it ought to be repealed. the minute you do that, literally, the minute you do that, it's going to be easier for people to work their wait out. you'll have a dramatic decline in foreclosures. >> i guess you trust banks more than i do, but if someone is paying 5% interest and is just getting by every month and making their payment and now with a 30-year mortgage down a little bit below 4%, why in the world would the bank want to help that person out because that person is going -- the bank will get a smaller payment. what's the largess of the bank or the incentive of the bank to

help the person out? >> if you had a free open market and people weren't so severely managed now by the fed regulators that they're afraid tto do anything, you'd have smaller banks and smaller mortgage companies offering refinancing all over the place because as you just pointed out, the long term rates are now dramatically lower, so they could lock in an advantage. they would have a better portfolio, people would have lower payments. this is exactly what happened eight or ten years ago as interest rates went down. the fact is interest rates today are among the lowest they've ever been for housing but people are locked in. i've had bankers tell me this, particularly if you're a small independent bank. they're told by the regulators don't you loan this money. they're literally being told it's better off for people to be foreclosed on than it is for people to have a workout even though that's exactly the wrong policy in terms of human beings. >> all right. give me a prediction. suppose you're president today and suppose it were repealed to

today. when could someone in a desperate situation get any sort of relief? what's the lag time? >> i think it would turn around within weeks. if we totally repealed it, not just some mickey mouse. if we said all this red tape, all these regulators, all these things are gone tomorrow morning, i think you could call and bring in five or 6 community bankers. i'm talking about small local banks. i'm not talking about wall street. they would tell you they would turn around on a dime. i've told people before that the recovery begins late on election night when people realize barack obama's gone. you'll literally see investment decisions being made by the next day, and the turn around will begin literally that fast. >> all right. it's the third year in a row, according to recent statistics, that the obama administration deported a record number of illegal immigrants according to the l.a. times, the third year in a row. you were asked the question tonight about latinos. i don't know if i didn't hear your answer or you sort of dodged it or whatever, but i didn't get a sense, i didn't get

a sense of what you would do with the people who are here in the united states right now illegally. >> well, i mean, the first thing you have to do is control the border to stop the flow. i think you have to go to a guest worker program that is outsourced through american express, visa, or mastercard so there isn't massive corruption and fraud, very substantial penalties for employers who hire people illegally. you need a world war ii selective service board. some people who come here recently that are day laborers with no connections, they ought to go home immediately. somebody who came here 25 years ago, has a wife, three kids, belongs to a local church, has grandchildren, you probably need to find the red card program where they can legally remain in the united states, pay a penalty, but in fact, they don't have a path to citizenship. i don't think anybody fully believes you're going to round

up 11 or 12 or 13 million people. we have to have some kind of human ability to discriminate. >> all right. you said also i'm a hawk but a cheap hawk, so tell me more. what do you mean by that? what are you cutting? >> well, sure. i'll give you two examples. we ought to apply systems to military procurement. it is absurd in an age when you have computers turning around in six months to a year to havive 0 or 15 or 20 year procurement cycles. you could probably eliminate several hundred thousand jobs in the process by getting rid of all the red tape. my dad was in the u.s. army and we were stationed in france and germany. back then we were defending west germany from the soviets. germany is united and the soviets disappeared. why do we have american forces in germany. ron paul makes a legitimate point to at least raise the question are there a lot of places that we're still there

out of habit, not because they strategically make sense, and i think you could, in fact, go through the system and raise those kind of questions. >> all right. now, let me do the worse give you only a minute because we've got to go to break. on health care you went after governor romney. i'm sort of curious. you talked about federal payment. i didn't fully understand the federal payment to massachusetts. >> if you go back and look at the original organization of romney care, they got a very large additional grant from the federal government through medicaid which was part of an experimental program. he had the wealthiest, most expensive medicaid program in the country. that's why he was able to do a lot of what he did. if you want to a normal state with a normal program, if you went to georgia, south dakota, iowa, you could not literally have financed what he did in massachusetts. it took that extraordinarily expensive program and it took special permission from the federal government for him to be able to do it. >> all right. well, of course, he's for that, but he's opposed to national

health care. do you agree with that? >> mitt's a smart guy. i think he's a smart guy, and i think he sincerely would be for repeeling obama care. i think we should give fellow republicans the benefit of the doubt when they say something like that. >> okay, mr. speaker. thank you, sir. >> good to be with you. thank you. coming up, someone else who want to be your next president. michelle bachmann is going on the record. don't go away because mr. herman cain will be here to go on the record. also, move over, doogie houser. there's a new child genius in town. see why this little boy is now the big man on campus.@?ñ

representative michelle bachmann wants to be your next president and she's here to go on the record. good evening, congresswoman. >> hello. how are you, greta? >> i'm very well. i've been watching the debate tonight. i notice you were very passionate about a particular issue that caught my attention that has to do with foreclosure. i'm going to ask you a question i asked the former speaker as well. many americans may not be facing foreclosure, but their homes are underwater, and they may want to move to another city. they can't sell their homes so they can move to get another job. they may be feeling pressure. they may want to refinance. tell me. what would you do for those people? how can you help those americans with homes underwater? >> well, that has been a persistent problem since we saw

the beginning of the housing melt down in about 2006, and the biggest problem, quite frankly, is government ente intervention. economics 101 says that economies recover, and unfortunately president obama decided to have the trillion dollar stimulus, all the various bailouts, and that made people freeze and it made people inactive. it paralyzed, quite frankly, the economy. what we need to do is have job creation. that's why my plan, which is real jobs right now, michelle bachmann.com, that's an 11-point plan to turn the economy around. it's not just enough to have just an energy plan or just a tax plan. we have to address all parts which is repeeling obama care, repaling dodd-frank. i'm the chief author of those bills. it's dealing with a $113 billion cost of illegal immigrants. that's what it comes down to,

greta. >> i think for some americans, it may be a little more immediate. it's really meeting that monthly nut. if your mortgage is at, let's say, 6% and you want to get it down below the 4% because the interest rates have gone down, just to ease up a little bit so that you have a little bit more cash, the beax don' banks don'to refinance. they're glad you've been paying. why would they refinance you. if you haven't been paying, they're not going to refinance you. there are lots of suffering in that sort of group. their houses are underwater. they need some help there. >> well, you're right about houses being underwater because housing has lost one third of its value in the last five years. that's why i want to encourage people. this is the best possible time to buy a house. the interest rates are extremely low, and i want to encourage your viewers look at real estate now. this as a fantastic time to look at it as an investment.

part of problem, greta, is no significant has been sent by this -- signal has been sent by the white house that the economy will be turning around. people will buy when they see a sense of certainty. >> greta: i hear people who want to buy, but i hear nightmare stories from my friends who say the banks take forever and they can't get the loans. there's really a logjam. >> sure. there's a reason. greta, you're exactly right, but the reason why is because of the jobs and housing destruction act. that's the bill known as dodd-frank. i sat on the committee chaired by barney frank for the entire time that dodd frank was under discussion. i opposed that. i knew how bad it was going to be because what it's done is it's attacked credit for businesses. it dried that up, but it's also made it almost impo impossible r people to get a housing loan. part of that problem, like you said, is when people's houses go

underwater, in other words, they owe more than what it's worth. then the banks don't want to refinance. that's dodd frank at work. we have president obama to thank for this very bad law. we need to let the free market work and if the free market can work, this thing will right its own ship. remember, we're two years into a recovery, and we're continuing to rack up 1.3 billion in debt every year. trust me. this will turn around very, very quickly. it will make people's head swim how quickly we can turn this around if we send a signal that we're going to bring some sanity and normal see back into the economy. >> we don't have too much time. let me ask you another quick question. foreign aid. a lot of americans don't like to pay foreign aid. why don't we keep it here. on the other hand, we've used foreign aid very effectively to buy problems and help with problems around the country, make it a little more safe. in terms of looking at the whole issue of foreign aid, what would you, for instance, want to keep?

what would you want to cut. give me your general idea on foreign aid. >> well, i think that i would agree that i think that nato needs to stand on its own two feet. general gates had called for that. i think that's exactly right. they have to stand on their own two feet. i also agree that the monies that we are providing to the un that are something that absolutely has to be looked at, and i think we have a lot of rogue nations that we're financing. we're also financing the palestinians, and i think this is something again that we have to look at because it doesn't make any sense any more. now, remember, don't forget. let me just finish saying this. at the beginning of the reagan administration, we were the largest creditor nation in the world. at that point we had money we could use to give to nations for one purpose or another. we're in a completely different world today, greta. we have to borrow 43 cents of every dollar we spend. it makes no sense to the american people for us to borrow money only to give it to other nations. that's why right now foreign aid

is something that quite frankly is something that in many ways we can't afford. >> but then we have sort of the complex problem like for instance, pakistan who has been nothing but nasty to us in so many ways. they have horrible floods or earthquakes, we want to go give them humanitarian aid and have them attempt to at least like us so another rogue nation doesn't move in and help with al-qaeda and afghanistan. it's a terribly difficult and delicate balancing act, would you agree? >> it is a very difficult balancing act, but i think you hit the nail on the head when you talked about emergency relief versus actually united states being a part, a base part of a foreign nation's budget. we have become a base part of many foreign nations' budgets. that's completely different than emergency relief. >> all right. you said tonight that dealing with the issue of anchor babies, that you thought we shouldn't touch the constitution but it

should be done ledge ledges lat. what did you mean. >> those are people who break the law of the united states to come into the united states. they bear a child in the united states at taxpayer expense. once that child is born, any full plate, a ta the subsidized benefits become immediately available to that child. i've learned that from people across the united states. they're frankly tired of it. they want that to end. we don't have to change the constitution to solve this problem. we can deal with this ledges latively because this is one very powerful ma magnet that's drawing illegal aliens into the united states. we can't afford it any more. it's $113 billion every year, greta. that's an $82 billion on local an state government but even more for your viewers who are here as legal citizens. every household bears 1,000 a year.

that's money your viewers could use for themselves and their families rather than to pay for illegal aliens. >> are you saying if someone's born here in the united states that legislatively that person could be denied citizenship? >> what i'm saying is we need to stop the benefits and the magnets that draw people into the united states that have created this issue of anchor babies. we need to stop all taxpayer subsidy of illegal aliens. this is a good place to start. >> now the debates. this is true across the board. every network is trying to figure out what the best solution it. it seems awkward to ask a complicated question and only give you a few minutes. we do that here but maybe give you a little time. how can we improve the debates. how can we get more out of all of you? >> i think one thing would be wonderful is if each of the candidates could be asked the same question. you notice that not all the candidates get the questions.

i also think it would be great to have a sit down debate where it was the same interviewer, they asked the same questions of all the candidates. obviously the candidates wouldn't know these questions ahead of time, and have an extended conversation so that the public could see our demeanor, our responses, and then they could really have a fair level playing field to take a look at each of the candidates and decide for themselves who they believe would be the best candidate to take on barack obama and lead this nation to turn it around so we can get back on the road to recovery. the good news is we can, and fairly quickly. it will shock people how quickly this nation will get back on track. once president obama is no longer the president of the united states. >> well, i find the debates always fascinating, but i see sort of the short comings on both ends, on the media for trying to give everyone a fair opportunity and giving a complicated question to a potential nominee, and saying you've got 30 seconds to do it. it's complex and, you know,

always working to try to get a little bit better. congresswoman, thank you. >> sure. thank you, greta. have great night. >> thank you. here's a look at what's coming up after the show on the o'reilly factor. >> we've got karl rove analyzing the electoral map right now. it's razor close. john stossel gets jostled at the protests coming up. >> who wants to miss that one? that's 11 p.m. eastern. eastern time, not easter time. what's going on in this grocery store? how on earth did a bear get in, and how will they get him out? it's a video you simply do not want to miss. babe, look.
