1:04 pm
difficult if not impossible for mitt romney to be able to beat barack obama next year. >> reporter: romney has been the most consistent front-runner but others have risen to the top. bachmann, perry and now cain. ron paul has never been the front-runner. he says he'll get a boost when voters learn more about herman cain. >> i think we've seen sudden surges of candidates and they fall off. >> i think when people get to know herman stands for, that helps me because they north going to say he is not really for any cuts. he is for adding this national sales tax. >> reporter: president obama he has not said he is keeping an eye on the main issue, jobs and the economy. >> i any what is becoming clear over time is the president puts forward proposals that had been
1:05 pm
accepted in the past by democrats and republicans alike is that we have a very obstructionist republican party who has been very successful at keeping the president from accelerating this jobs recovery as quickly as he would like. >> reporter: presidential debate are set for next fall. they begin october 3rd in denver. mark your calendar. >> heather: thank you. >> president obama dealing with some of the economic conditions that any president has faced in reelection bid. coming up our political panel debates where we are in the race for the white house. >> gregg: presidential candidates gingrich and cain facing off last night in texas. that debate was generally a friendly affair. cain unlike cain es encounter with reporters afterwards. >> reporter: when a reporter asked herman cain if he was done

1:07 pm
time to move on. >> i'm concerned we're wasting time on this supposed issue, this scandal which is taking away from our ability to really address the major issues of the day. how we get this economy rebuilt. >> i think it's blown out of proportion. it dilutes the real debate. >> the poll just last week, herman cain has lost nine points in favorability rating with republicans. he had 66% and now he is down to 57%. >> gregg: peter doocy, thanks. be sure to tune in tonight for an exclusive interview with herman cain on geraldo at large, cain talking about how his campaign handled on the sexual allegations to how his wife is handling it. >> heather: now to the middle east, israel is facing a moment of truth over iran's nuclear
1:08 pm
prom. shimon peres says the militarily optional is becoming a factor whether they take a report coming out this week from a nuclear watchdog on iran. here is more from jerusalem. >> reporter: the usually dovish president in israel has weighed o in on strike. the time is ticking that the international community needs to do whatever it takes to keep tehran from getting the bomb. it increases the level into a fever pitch as israel tries to put iran and the nuclear program back on the front page. it's also important to note what the prime minister and defense minister aren't saying when they met with leon panetta they refused to lay out their strategy with dealing with iran or even promised to notify the u.s. before a possible strike. this new move had the arab world on alert as israel has twice
1:09 pm
bombed their neighbors, once in iraq and most recently in syria. there is great debate about the israeli leadership about a possible strike but the inner circle they are garnering support for a potential attack and the international community to increase sanctions on iran. there is no guarantee an attack will work. iran's facility are buried into the sides of mountains and experts say would delay the program by two years. iranians have promised a crushing response which could include a regional war including hamas, hezbollah and syria which have powerful arsenals aimed at the jewish state. the timing cannot be ignored. on tuesday, atomic energy commission will release a report and if will is a smoking gun about a weapons program it will certainly increase the call for sanctions against iran. that means that there will be a

1:12 pm
we have been showing some of the pictures of the damage. can you explain more of what you have seen or heard about the damage and any injuries you've heard of? >> there are injuries are not confirmed. the damage i saw for myself as we were putting out instruments to monitor aftershocks. we managed to capture the main shock as it turns out, but we were seeing a lot of cracked brick, chimneys that sort of thing. it was kind of hard to see my neighbors' homes being destroyed as a seismologist it was fascinating to see the largest oklahoma earthquake. >> gregg: we don't think of oklahoma really as a center of earthquakes, more like tornadoes your part of tornado alley. how common are they there? >> earthquakes happen every year. they are actually quite common.
1:13 pm
handful of earthquakes every year. oklahomans forget about that. >> gregg: geological faults or at the time tonic plates that is shifting? is that what is causing it? >> that is exactly what is causing this. there is a fault that is well pronounced in the geology in geo physics, called the rosetta fault. we've had earthquakes in the past but this is by far the largest sequence we've seen. >> gregg: i was reading a story in associated press. it says oklahoma typically has about 50 earthquakes a year but researchers 1047 quakes shook last year. why the increase, do you know? >> some of it we have had a more instruments recording earthquakes in the state. there is a large science
1:14 pm
foundation in the state. we had incredible density but it doesn't explain the increase. quite honestly i'm at a loss of words how to explain the increase that something that is a big focus of my research. >> gregg: when you figure it out give us a call. thanks very much. good luck to you, sir. >> heather: president obama taking on the economic challenges. recent polls if the election were held today it would be a difficult election by both parties. can president obama secure a second term? our political panel weighs? >> gregg: major developments in the european death crisis. greece's prime minister agreeing to call it quits. brenda butner joins us how all of this may impact your wallet.

1:19 pm
political crisis. how could their crisis impact the economy here in the u.s. joining us is bred did a butner. it's a fluid situation. a lot of breaking news as moments ago coming out of greece. how does this, a loaded question affect the economy here? >> it's so interesting, you think greece, it's small country very small gdp. how does it affect a large county. but if you think of the euro zone as a set of dominos, as greece goes, italy goes, ireland goes, that is the big issue. borrowing costs all over go. we have a huge stake in europe. we have $400 billion of our exports go there, more go than china. u.s. firms have a trillion dollars of investments there. so europe is very important.
1:20 pm
u.s. financial firms are very, very important, have to have important connections. they often collaborate on borrowing and on lending. so it would be much, much harder if there were a crisis of confidence or lending or if there were a defaulted in greece to lend here. there might be more of a credit crisis here. most important thing, wall street has been watching this. we haven't even reached, last week we had important economic numbers, next week earning season is over, we have unemployment number coming out. everybody is going to be looking at greece and at europe. >> heather: what happens tomorrow? >> that the issue. volatility was amazing last week. i think we're going to see much more volatility in the weeks to
1:21 pm
come because everybody is going to be watching europe and the whole greece mess. >> heather: what the most positive outcome for tomorrow for our economy and negative thing to happen? >> the back thing that happens they agree to these draconian austerity measures. they say we know we have to get our house in order. maybe we should listen a little bit to them. we know we have to accept this. we will accept it. that is basically what europe is saying to them, that you have to accept this or we are not going to help you. >> heather: bailout is not a done deal? >> no, it's not. nothing is a done deal. you saw how fluid it was by the minute today. so we're hoping that by tomorrow we will hear that the new government will say, yes, we accept this. yes, there is no referendum. the people are not going to vote on this because we know what
1:22 pm
outcome that would be. if greece accepts it, perhaps that steady italy a little bit and wall street can say, okay, they are accepting that. they are not going to default. that makes it a little bit steadier outcome. >> heather: is there any positive aspect to the volatility going on in greece right now? specifically greek bonds, there has been conversation about that how it affects american stocks? >> the greek bond has been battered. some people who have a really, really -- i don't know they trade all the time. view greek bonds as a contrary indicator. if the greek bond goes down, they think stocks will go up. i think, i wouldn't even go near that. i wouldn't look at that at all.
1:23 pm
>> heather: don't go near it. that is what we needed. >> gregg: one year from today voters will be heading to the polls to pick a commander in chief. president obama and republican rivals have a lot of work ahead of them but who is gaining the most ground. >> heather: plus a brand-new article getting a lot of attention, why it's claiming, women may be better off single. >> gregg: i could have told you that a long time ago. >> and they shatter the record. we're going to have a live report. stick around. ♪ ♪ ♪ my doctor told me calcium is best absorbed in small continuous amounts. only one calcium supplement does that in one daily dose. citracal slow release... continuously releases calcium plus d

>> heather: bottom of the hour,
1:28 pm
time for top of the news. prime minister george papandreoou after they for your a new government to end the political crisis. >> many weapons around the country have disappeared from unguarded sites. millions of pilgrims, the stoning of satan, hundreds of people have been hurt in stampedes. >> gregg: next year's presidential election is just one year away from today. both sides are facing serious challenges, president obama running against a slumping u.s. economy while republicans are struggling to unite behind a strong candidate. democrats and republicans are racing to build their financial war chest for the campaign.
1:29 pm
take a look at this president obama has raised $89.5 million this election cycle. gop raking in $76 million. mitt romney has raised taking over $32 million, this is $15 million more than his nearest rival. where are we? let's bring in the political panel. a spokesperson for jeb bush, mcgill johnson is democratic strategist. 75% of americans say they are worse off than before president obama took office, even he admitted that in a recent interview. negative job approval suggests that people do blame him for that. economic growth is anemic, most economists says it's not going to change before next election. no president has been re-elected with a staggering 9% unemployment since world war ii.
1:30 pm
you would agree that his prospects look grim? >> i have to say, gregg, i completely degree with the concern around the economy. i think that is first and foremost, but i have to say this is more than just the unemployment which we all believe. >> kelly: what about gdp? >> it's about gdp '. >> gregg: that is awful, too? >> it's a much bigger frame, obama is having a challenge with. that is about framing how what the role of government is supposed to be in our lives. i don't think he captured it. i think he has tried to be bipartisan in the face of very strong republican opposition. i think he has tried to be more corporate friendly where that is not where the base of the american people are. >> gregg: you said my way or highway on the jobs bill. that doesn't sound bipartisan, does it? >> i think high is learning a
1:31 pm
lesson. >> gregg: just learning at the end of hits first term? i want to be fair about this. democratic party is more popular with voters than your party the gop. as abysmal numbers are, he still beats perry and cain and he ties romney. look, when an unpopular president does that well against potential nominees, that does not spell well for republicans, does it? >> as you said, we're one year away from election day. one year is aneternity in electoral politics. i'm not so sure. president obama has a lot of advantages. he's in the white house. he is the president of the united states. that brings with it a lot of advantage. at the same time, mitt romney is neck and neck or even defeating. >> gregg: its tie.
1:32 pm
>> so i think right now we're one year away. i think republicans are positioned right where they want to be. >> gregg: you right where you want to be, don't you want to be 10-15 points ahead? >> no, i don't want to be ten points ahead. i don't want republican voters -- no, i'm happy to be tied. i'm happy to have our candidates within the margin of error one year out. i don't want our voters to get complacent. he is going to spend one billion dollars. we know with his approval numbers, as negative as they are he is going to have to run a viciously negative campaign. >> gregg: president obama won the office by attracting independent voters, roughly 62%. now that number has totally tanked down to 37%. how in the world does he win without independents and if
1:33 pm
romney the nominee wouldn't be his record be far more attractive to any other republican? >> i agree with you mitt romney being attractive to independents versus the weak republican field. i think the independents that are undecided is 28%. so there is still a big play there for the independent vote. i think the gop field in general because it's been so weak. they launched a mitt romney campaign today, dissatisfaction among the gop base is indicative. what is missing on the gop side is grand vision for how they are going to be fundamentally different from obama's economic policies. i think that big gap is going to be something that no front-runner is fielding right now.
1:34 pm
>> gregg: mitt romney is ahead in new hampshire. he narrowly leads in iowa. those are critical states. here is what conservative columnist george will wrote about romney. quote, romney is a recidivist advisor of his principles that is less electable he might damage gunshot >> gregg: he went to so far to call hick michael dukakis of the republican party. does he have a point that he is not the guy to energize the vote and conservative base? >> the person that energizes the vote and energizes the conservative base is president obama and vice president joe biden and prospected of nancy pelosi the speaker of the house and harry reid being senate
1:35 pm
majority leader for four years. those four individuals will motivate our base. i understand what george will is saying. however, once the republican party nominates the nominee the tea party energy is going to be focused on defeating president obama whoever the nominee is. we know that polls show more republican voters are enthusiastic to vote in 2012 than democratic voters. president obama has a big problem with his base. they are not as enthusiastic to get out to the polls and vote for him. >> gregg: people keep saying it's early but we are eight weeks away from first caucuses and primaries. thanks for your thoughts. appreciate you being here. senate is gearing up for a major battle. right now the democrats control the senate with 51 and republicans with 47 seats. next year, 33 seats are up for grabs. 23 held by democrats and 10 by

republicans and eight open 11. senate seats in which incumbents are not running at all. five are democrats and two are republicans, one is held by an independent. there is a big prize to be gained in races for governor. right now there are 32 republican governors, 22 democrats and one independent. there are the stats. of those the democrats are defending nine seats. some are running for reelection. others are retiring and leaving the seat open. republicans have five seats to defend. one of those races was already held in which bobby jingle won in louisiana. >> speaking of races. annual marathon kicks off today. 50,000 runners pounding the pavement. it generates more than just sweat and sore feet. it is giving the big apple a big economic boost. julie banderas is live in new york city with more on that.

2:29 pm
you about that. he's showing his agitation now with the issue. how do you think voters will take that? >> it is all wrong. look, everybody thinks running for president is easy. people from the outside and i'm sure herman cain thought thisç looked at it and go i'm as smart as these guys, i have a message. the reality is, it is very tough. if you've got anything into your background that could hurt you and who doesn't. you've got to be upfront about it. you've got to manage its release. herman cain has done the opposite. he took off, never dealt with it. he'sç now being defensive and angry. he's violating every rule of politics. i think this is ultimately a fatal blow. >> heather: there were reports that came out that he was obviously aware that there was a possibility that this issue would come to the forefront and he would have to address it. he said his campaign
2:30 pm
specifically chose in fact, not to dealç with it. >> well, what else is he gonna say. maybe they did. but in every campaign i've ever been involved with, the first thing do you with the candidate before he's taken off, you sit and have what we call the heart to heart. we used to say it in "the new york times" anything in your life that you wouldn't want to see in theç "new york times"? now it is there anything in your life you wouldn't want to see on cable news, blogs, paper? if the answer is yes. then you have to figure out okay how are we gonna get in out of the way so it is old news, so that it doesn't sink me when i'm beginning to go up. so my sense is, if his campaz told him that, they didn't know what they were doing. >> heather: handled this wrong the beginning he continues to handle it wrong with the signs of agitation and calling reporters
2:31 pm
unethical. is there anything that he can do to turn it around? >> well, the thing i would have said he should do is to have what we used to call the ferraro press conference. earlier i'ç her campaign there were issues about her taxes. she called a press conference and said i'm going to take every question until this is over. and herman cain by voiding the press is just feeding the fire. -- by voiding the press is just feeding the fire. he has to say i'm not perfect, i didn't understand that what i thought were innocent and harmless commentsç would actually be hurtful to the women involved. i regret what i did. and i can tell you, i learned my lesson. not tell journalists you've got no right to ask or hide behind confidential >> heather: thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> heather: interesting to see what herman cain does next.

disorderly conduct, sieve noise, bunch of fights doesn't that violate health and safety laws? don't police have a duty to stop it? >> one thing we know for sure the first amendment protects none of that. i have a friend in portland reporting all over this stuff, she sent me aç list of the crimes committed in that one city alone. it is staggering, unbelievable. we are at the point now where the city supervisors, mayors, owe it to citizens to get some kind of injunction, have these people declared a public nuisance. that way they can be kept out of these areas. it is time to move on. your point has been taken. although now it is confused. let's do that or maybeç something more serious. >> gregg: mercedes, when you listen to mayor bloomberg, he continues to defend the free speech rights of the protesters. those rights are not absolute or unfettered, as he appears
2:43 pm
to think they are. they are not allowed to hide behind the first amendment, are they while violating the rights of others including businesses and resident there is? >> here's the big challenge for the mayor and theç other states across the nation. under the constitution, if you have the right of expression, you have freedom after social. but, if you are going to constrain it, it has to be of a reasonable time, place and manner restriction. saying removal of these individuals is a violation under constitution that's the biggest challenge for the mayor. i am notç a favor to what is happening. this is right my by office it is a complete nightmare for lower manhattan. the mayor is walkinging that line. it has to be reasonable -- time, place and manner restriction shun so say the constitution is trumped. i -- i would love to say clear that park down the street from my office. but the fact of the matter is, they have the right under tbt constitution to do it.
