12:01 am
and a new jersey supermarket chain yanks a commercial, but doesn't apologize for the value and the performance of mrs. baldwin. and lastly, the white house actually took time out to deny allegations that as a teenager president obama was tele ported to mars. they announced that former president andrew jackson wooki and will burn a giant pile of money in the rose garden. >> as always, thanks for dressing up. let's welcome our guest. i am here with fox news network reporter sandra smith. her new book "don't even look at me you ugly pig" comes out next week. i think it is aimed at me. chris barron, his abs have abs. bill schulz, pardon the interest ropings and sitting
12:02 am
next to me a first-time guest, bernard. and he is a pain in the neck who spouts nothing but dreck. good to see you. >> the presidential race moves on from iowa, and considering the surprising numbers, you might say rick santorum was mitt romney's caucus blocker if you will. >> nobody would say that. >> everybody would say that. >> after months of listening to candidates, voters have weighed in of the amazingly, many think romney's first name is mittens. it is true. according to a 60 minutes van gnaw knee poll 60% think mitt stands for mittens and his given name is latrell. actually it is willard mitt romney so his middle name is short for mitten. he beat rick santorum by over seven votes. and for the rest of the
12:03 am
results, consult the cable news and/or internet for the past 24 hours. what does it mean? well, bachmann like secrist, out. ron paul is strong and yet disappointing third. santorum, left for surging. gingrich -- i mean, willard. >> we want to con fwrat late romney, the winner there. i am wondering why. >> i know you would be mad. >> i know that's a rhetorical question. >> meanwhile, with so much going on in iowa, thank god for the weevils to make sense of it all. >> look at this. >> check out these little guys. imagine they are iowa republicans who are showing up for caucuses. take a look at this. it is a representative of mitt romney who is going to the front of the room to promote
12:04 am
his candidate. >> warning, don't ever expose a hollow graphic weebil. let's go to our senior correspondent in manchester. >> we need to get new political correspondent. bernard, welcome to the show. >> thank you, andy levy. >> what do you think of the results? >> romney was down in the polls just two weeks ago, so you have to characterize it as a win for him. did you see the speech last night by newt gingrich, the angry -- what the hell is he so angry about? remember where is the beef?
12:05 am
mitt romney should say what's the beef? a couple of negative ads, and he looked like chuck key -- chuckie's grand father. he is just confirming everybody's pin of him, pech lent, vindictive and angry dude. the democrats were the big losers in that newt didn't win. >> there is election newt and angry newt. >> i like the know it all newt a lot better than the angry newt. it really does confirm everything that people have said about him which is amazing. he spends months trying to craft this new image of him. it is the good uncle weighing in in debates and kindly and smart. it is completely gone in 24 hours. he does nothing but wine and complain. negative ads, whatever. shut the hell up. you are running for president. >> mccain endorsed romney today. is there anyway romney doesn't get the nomination? >> i don't think so. people need to deal in reality. mitt romney will be the
12:06 am
nominee. he is not my first choice. he doesn't -- he wasn't even my first or second choice. people need to rally around the nominee, and let's focus on beating obama. >> what does romney get out of mccain endorsing him? how does it help with the conservative basis? >> it is like sticking a finger in the eye. >> i know mccain is fairly popular in new hampshire, but romney is running away with that. he doesn't need him. >> due caucus is supporting romney and that's a big thing. >> i don't believe that is true. >> sandra, let's stick with mitt. how is mitt not short for mittens? it sounds like a kitty name. everybody loves kitty. >> did you know my name is veronica? >> i did not know that. >> i can convince you. >> are we dumb, is that what you are saying? >> no. here is the bottom line.
12:07 am
i think americans are sick of the negativity. gingrich's stance saying i am coming back at these guys. i am coming back hard, and i wl not say congratulations. people don't want to hear. it remember when you were in middle school or high school and somebody picked on you. never you nor i, but you don't sit there and get red in the face and try to fight back and don't talk to that person. it doesn't look cool. gingrich doesn't look cool. they are sick of the negativity and romney is taking the right road right now. >> i thought gingrich seemed a little childish. >> and there is an old saying in poker, winners tell jokes and losers say deal. and after the iowa caucuses, romney is telling jokes and having a good time, and newt is screaming deal. >> that's a good point. bill, have you been a loud fan of santorum. you have to be happy with how he did, but does he have the money and the organization to go head to head with romney as
12:08 am
we move on? >> i am a fan. >> i know you are. >> who is this rick guy? >> there is another old saying, getting baking to gingrich because i don't like your question that you learn a lot more about a man in defeat than you do victory, and what we have learned is this guy is a knar saw cystic blow hard. so in the end we have learned nothing at all. nothing we haven't already known, andrew. >> so, bernard, let me go to you. >> santorum is about to get the gingrich treatment. his last name begins with the letter s and ends with the letter n. he might as well put on a leather mask and stick a gag ball in his mouth because he is about to get whipped this guy. if you know what i'm saying. it is going to be ugly because the light is on santorum, and he can't handle it. >> you think by the press? >> by romney, by the pact. just like they do with everybody else, it will happen to him now, and it will be fun to watch.
12:09 am
he is a nice guy with family values. i know the gay issue and he p's a lot of people off. can you say piss people off? i feel like it is the satellite radio of fax news. >> when you say p's it sounds like the same thing. >> he is in for a whooping. >> they already are kind of doing it. they wrote something tonight and they are looking at some of the past quotes. the guy is against birth control. not across the board and in schools, overall. he doesn't want anyone to pro create unless it is to make kids. the gay thing is one thing. >> that's what pro create means. >> even worse he is against sod daw -- sodomy. >> he is also not a conservative. ron paul was right when he called him a liberal. on things like spending, rick santorum is a liberal. he voted for the medicare expansion. he voted for the bridge to nowhere. this is is a guy who went out
12:10 am
and campaigned for hair lynn specter. this guy is not a conservative. >> i don't think i would call him a liberal. he is a populist. he wants the government in your bedroom, and he wants the government to do things with the economy. to me that's more of a pop pew los. >> do things with the economy. hopeful leahy will play the fiscal conservative card. nobody has been claiming to be. do as i say and not as i do. here is the problem. in the midst of all of this, we are still seeing our economy crumble. unemployment is high and housing stinks quite frankly and none of these guys are identifying what they will do to turn this ship around. that's going to be the biggest problem. these guys have to step forward with these real plans. we still have that on the table. if he played the fiscal conservative card, he will win it every single day. >> i will take a come pent manager. there is a saying in 2004 i dated cain and now i am
12:11 am
marying mitt. >> the democrats if santorum did get the nomination, they would be salivating like governor christie in the butcher shop. they don't want to face romney. it is true. he is going to appeal to the moderate. it is not like a right wing base. they will vote for anybody. >> my guess is we talk seriously about santorum for a week and then there is new hampshire. and it is over. maybe south carolina, and he bounces back a little bit. i don't think so there. i think if anyone does better there it is newt. >> south carolina is the place where these insurgent campaigns go to die. pat robertson's campaign ended in south carolina and pat buchanan's campaign ended in south carolina. i mean, there is a track record here. south carolina is not going to go out on a limb and pick some crazy person who has no chance of getting -- of winning in november. they are going to go with the front-runner, and it is going to be mitt romney. mitt romney is going to win and the race will be over.
12:12 am
>> i want to talk about rick perry. it seems like he is 2ing to drop out. -- it seems like he is going to drop out. >> he is going baking to assess the situation. i guess word is his wife apparently encouraged him to stay in the race. if he can't stand up to his wife, how is he going to stand up to -- >> yeah. you are turning that over to a female? really? women do have control and they do wear the pants in the family typically. and i will say that, yes, she is backing him to continue on, so he is. governor perry will have a hard time getting anywhere at this point. but right now what he could do is help point fingers at the right candidate with the most win ability factor which dare i say is romney right now. >> joe perry from aerosmith has endorsed ron paul. can you believe he is dising his cousin rick like that? >> that is unbelievable. if they had nothing else. >> come on, it is family. >> i find that disgusting and
12:13 am
i will say that the only time my wife wears the pants in my house is when we are role playing. that's it. >> but can we please talk about ron paul so we don't get angry e-mails? >> ron paul good, everything else bad. >> slents. -- excellent. >> can we assume they are going after romney? >> he is on a comma coz swree mission. -- comma kazi mission. really, he is on a complete and total kam akazi mission. >> do you think she done? >> is everybody done except romney? are we done in your mind? >> absolutely. >> anne ann coulter was right months ago. she said he is going to be the thom knee. let's deal with it. >> but bachmann won the trough poll. >> rick santorum and bachmann represent the same type of thing. she was born in iowa, a neighboring state, a congresswoman.
12:14 am
and she went to every house like santorum, and she took out the garbage and she made the beds. now what explains that? she is a smart woman, and do you think it was maybe her husband or something weird with the husband maybe? >> it could have been that weird thing on his lip. >> he makes richard simmons sound like john wayne. the iowa base, the conservative base, they may have seen something. i don't know. it is something weird going on. why she didn't do any better is inexplicable to me. >> i think what explicates it, if i may say, for whatever reason it was decided that the anti-mitt vote not counting ron paul who had his own base which i don't think it was an anti-mitt vote, but the anti-mitt vote was going to santorum. >> but why? >> if they paid attention to somebody the moment they took a good long look at him, it happened with bachmann and
12:15 am
perry and cain. when they looked at him, they got sick. santorum was the last guy they looked at. and they had never had a chance to know the guy. standing on the side and complaining that nobody asked him a question. >> they had a chance to know him in iowa. he did the old-fashioned campaigning going house to house. >> i think bachmann had too many moments where everyone got a close look at her and said, really? i completely agree. >> it started with her with the gardasil stuff when she accused rick perry of -- with the forcing of the vaccinations and when she said gardasil caused mental retar retardation. >> it causes the note only elect ability factor, but they see them sitting over a table having a beer with bachmann. >> is she all that smart too? >> she said the founding father went to get rid of
12:16 am
slavery. she said god told her to work for the irs. >> i never think mistakes like that necessarily mean you are not intelligent. these people, to get where they got in their lives have to have some measure of intelligence i think. it is easy to jump on -- >> i have looked into her eyes and she looking back looked right through me. >> can i speak to ron paul for one second? >> i think the one thing that resonates with him, he was right on the iraq war and nation building for people who hate us. people want to demonize them for certain reasons, but on that issue, that's why he resonates. wasting money and lives, our -- people see that, and i think the country is with him as he pointed it out. the problem is he failed to meet expectations. there is talk of him winning the state. a month ago if you said he was coming in third and getting 22% of the vote, you would say wow, that's amazing.
12:17 am
but then it was like, oh, he only finished third. that hurts him. >> i think you are trying to dress off ron paul's decision. it would be one thing if he said, i am against the war in iraq. i am against nation building. that's not what he said. he follows that with craze he crap about how who the hell cares if iran gets a nuclear weapon, and we don't need to do anything to help israel. >> believe me when i tell you, i agree with you. but still he was fundamentally right. you have to listen to him. he was right. i hope nobody thinks it was the right thing to do at this . >> i think it was the right thing. >> have i to move on. more importantly -- well not more importantly, but the point is he is the only one giving that opinion. if you feel that way, that's who you are going to. >> yes, indeed. >> i would also like to add that we could thoroughly condemn chris ferin's comments about ron paul and send e-mails to him. coming up, did a supermarket c chain can --
12:21 am
is it a bold win for baldwin when it comes to all things wegmin? they pulled their ad who were irked after the recent airline meltdown. baldwin refused to turn off his iphone and strangled a puppy. but now they pulled a flip-flop. they said, quote, we decided to run the comer will thats again -- the commercials. clearly many support alec
12:22 am
following the hundreds of tweets and phone calls. we enjoyed working with alec bold win and his mom, carol and would do it again. let's look at the ad in question. >> you know are you a good actor when you can pull off drunk russian dancing. >> very good. you pretend to be a business expert. what do you make of this? should they have pulled the ads in the first place? >> i have tears in my eyes now. if it went against the moral beliefs running these ads they should take them off the air. but they should stick to it. and first of all, who is e-mailing in about commercials? really? >> real americana? >> did you miss a commercial
12:23 am
and they are twittered in about why isn't this on the air anymore? doesn't that strike anybody as odd? >> you know who doesn't do that? elite new yorkers. >> i think the deal was they pulled the ads, and it became a story and then people read the story. >> so what i'm saying is wegmann's should stick by their guns. if they pulled it for moral beliefs and then they succumb to people writing in saying we like him anyway even though he forments puppies airline attendants? that's odd to me. bottom line, i just don't care for the guy. >> fair enough. >> so the company pulled the ad after, quote, a couple of dozen complaints. >> i think alec baldwin is a jerk and a left wing fruit cake. but this is capitalism. they pull the ad off the air because they get complaint, and then they get more complaints after they pulled it off and they put it back on. it is capitalism at work. if more people want to see alec baldwin regardless of how
12:24 am
stupid it might be or how stupid to e-mail and tweet in about a stupid commercial, that's how capitalism works. >> they said they got dozens of come plants. is that enough complaints to pull an ad? >> they got rattles. but it is capitalism at work. whatever works best for them is what they should do. here is an over fed, spoiled hipocrite, 1%er who wants to try to be liked by the other 99%. i wish that on that plane they had bum rushed him like they did the underwear bomber. >> capitalism was not at work on the plane that day. he took away the rights of capitalism by insisting that he continue to play some silly game. and then they have to go back to the gate. >> he should have been arrested. he should have been hauled off and tasered. >> that saves me from asking if you have anything dumb to add because you just did.
12:25 am
>> i have something smart to add. the reason he first did this ad campaign is because he mentioned in an interview that his mom was a loyal shopper at wegmann's. they asked him after that. >> yea! bill read the article. >> that's exactly why i did that ad for sam's liquor barn. my mom didn't co-star with me in the ad. although she is a loyal customer and she is too drunk to remember her lines. >> don't say that about your mom. >> it is true. go to bed, mom, put down the booze. >> what do you think about alec baldwin? >> i think he is a talented actor. he is fun. i love him on the classic movies. i love it with he sits with the robert osbourne and they talk about the black and whites of the 30s and 40s. she funny. but he is an era gants you know what. -- an errogant you know what. >> have you ever heard him speak off script? it is the writing he should be thankful for. when he is off script i am not listening. >> you get that from the
12:26 am
tweets. >> exactly. >> the only problem i have with alec baldwin because he is great is he has the donald trump disease. when the camera is on he does this with his lips. he thinks it is sexy and trump does the same thing. it is like the -- >> in his defense though it is sexy. >> well, yeah, all right. when mccartney does this -- it looks like he is succeeding on a straw. this is good had. -- this is good. >> thanks for adding nothing as usual. do you have a comment on the show 1234* e-mail -- show? e-mail as you. or call 212-462-50 50. still to come, the half time report from jesse joyce. >> the half time report is sponsored by pythons, the nonvenomous snakes who suffocate and can reach lengths of 19 feet. thanks, pythons.
12:30 am
welcome back. let's find out if we have gotten anything wrong so far. now we go to jesse joyce. >> i tell you one thing you didn't get wrong at "red eye" and that was awarding dana vachon and i the best" red eye" moment of 2011. i just want to on behalf of myself and dana, thank you guys for allowing me to carry dana through that performance. >> quickly, that was a fan
12:31 am
vote, so thank the fans. >> that's what i thought i was doing. >> i was robbed. >> this is televised and going into people's living rooms all over the place. >> i i didn't know that. >> i would like to say, bill, over the holiday break, did you kill rick springfield and then are wearing his skin and hair as a suit? >> rick wishes he could get facial hair like this. that's half a month right there. >> it is a mullety sort of 80s thing. and your skin looks like it has been dead for several days. moving on. andy, you said that with newt and the different personalities, that there is two kinds of newts. i looked that up. actually there is a website called kind of newt .com. and they are actually over 350 kinds of newts. >> really? >> yes. just to name a few, emperor newt, alpine newt, a paddle
12:32 am
taled newt and an eye beer yuan ribed newt. >> i think he would like to be emperor newt. >> perhaps. all right. bernard, i looked it up, and technically you can say peed, but you can't say it while doing an s and m bit. it is context on television. that's how it works. sandra mentioned something about the housing stinks. but if you only visit bill's house, that's not a fair barometer on what everyone else's house is. chris, you mentioned that you dated cain. >> yes. >> chris, let me just say that you can get out in front of this. come forward. just because cain forced your head into your pants it doesn't mean it is a date. >> oh man. >> sounds like friday night
12:33 am
for me. >> allegedly. allegedly indeed. >> bernard, you said that newt could play chuckie's grandfather? >> yes, i did. >> technically according to the story of child's play, that's not so. chuckie is the vodoo manifestation of charles lee ray who after being mortally wounded seeks refuge in a store and transfers his soul into a doll. while newt in fact looks like the fat doll toy, he does not look anything like the actor who played charles lee ray. it would be an odd casting. >> at least you are not over thinking it too much. by the way, a shout out to don imus. >> i'm sorry for saying that don imus is completely wrong. you are cool. however, bernard, you also said that rick santorum's last name begins with an s and ends with an m and he should put on
12:34 am
a leather mask and still in a ball gag. >> you like that, right? >> of course i like that on a personal level. but santorum advocates government intervention in the bedroom to prevent sodomy. he is likening homosexuality to sex and robots. >> it actually ties in with my bachmann theory. if you were watching, say one thing and do another kind of -- you know what i mean? >> i know exactly what you mean. i think that does have something to do with why michele bachmann left the race. >> can i jump in here for protection purposes? you keep bringing up santorum and marcus bachmann. i need to say rick santorum is not gay. he hates people having sex with robots. >> but i think that is a fair -- i don't think the technology is there yet. there are a lot of accidents that can happen. it is more of a protection issue for him.
12:35 am
>> a lot of straight guys are into gag roles. >> are you a person who has never been to thailand. >> i am in fact a person who has never been to tie land. >> i somehow knew that. >> moving on. >> what was that? >> i have a thing in my ear. >> i would like to point out that 2% of voters thought mitt romney's real name was mittens. know straw dom muss had a pet called president mittens. if you think about it new hampshire, hamster, president mitt, mittens. alec baldwin, sandra, you said alec baldwin does not torment puppies. you are right. steven and william forment -- torment puppies. but they do cocaine and that is to be expected. >> another reason not to like him. i am just joking. i hate hating on people.
12:36 am
i really do. i dislike the things i have seen. >> it is our job. >> he can share his thoughts on our perception of him. >> fair enough. bill, lastly, i just would like to ask you any chance you mentioned at the commercial you did on behalf of your mom for the liquor store, did she -- gite liquor barn. >> the liquor barn, did she begin drinking during your pregnancy? >> are you implying i suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome? >> i was exactly implying that. and last sandra i want to mention that my wife also wears the pants, but that is just because [bleep]. back to you, andy. >> thanks, jesse. this will be a fun show for the editors. i can see that. coming up, was barack obama part of a secret cia project to explore mars?
12:40 am
so was barack obama part of the exploration of mars? a couple of universe exploring government agents say the president participated in a clandestined time travel visit in the 1980s to establish america's territorial sovereignty. the men allege obama visited not once, but twice using a tele pour station chamber. you can't get there any other way. according to wire .com's danger room, they denied the story and when asked when obama went to mars, a spokesman replied, quote, only
12:41 am
if you count watching marvin the martian. i don't think they are taking this seriously, but we will in the -- >> lightning roooooouuuuunnnnd. lightning round. >> better bernard, if you are one of the time traveling crononauts, and for all i know you are, why keep this a secret for so long? or does it seem so long because they are time travelers? >> that could be the case, but obama, that would be something to put on the resume. the whole story is not as farfetched. i am glad gary busey found work. it is apparently working for these people here. you got me. >> sandra, since when do the highest levels of government feel they have to respond to this stuff? >> well, anytime we ask. but i really see this as an opportunity for president obama to pull ahead in the polls. show his knowledge on outerspace and advance our
12:42 am
aeronautical science. >> if obama is this cool time jumping mars visitor, doesn't that help the vote for him? >> absolutely. he certainly could get the ron paul vote. he has a caucus for ron paul in iowa. >> it didn't help john glenn when he ran for president. >> that's true. but he didn't go to mars. he went to the moon. >> by making a joke out of it, does the council make you more suspicious that it might be true. that's how i feel. >> suspicious, angry, perplexed, a little hungry. let me tell you something. obama is not a martian unless that's what they are calling kenyans now. hook it up, america. -- look it up, america, the birth certificate was fake. use your mind. jay he was a martian. -- >> he was a martian. >> it was i'm implied.
12:43 am
read between the lines, america. >> i think the whole accusation is racist. >> you can watch tv shows about martians. doesn't that mean anything? >> he is a secret muslim as well. >> i thought he was half vu lcan. >> the next topic, actor james franco sold his next novel. it is said to be a fictional liesed version as an actor. how opposite of fun. bernard, this guy loves to try his hand at eight million things. but is he any good at any of them? >> he wasn't hosting the oscars, obviously. and apparently he wrote the book before he played the part where the guy got his arm stuck in the rock or whatever. i don't know. the guy is not talented. i don't know what his appeal is. i know that one movie and the oscars where he flopped and
12:44 am
that's all i know of james franco. >> and spider-man. >> goblin, junior. >> who is the target audience for this book? is it people like you who think -- >> anyone who will buy it. any girl who thinks he is cute and any actor who wants to be him, the bottom line what i think this shows is anyone can write any book about anything. i think the writing has gotten out of control and they are clearly not filtering who gets to write about what. so i think he has an audience that will buy this book. >> is it time to announce my book deal? >> i have a new book coming out. here is the deal. did the oscars ruin whatever acting gigs james fran co had? so now he is like, now i am writing a book? >> i don't think so. >> no, i don't think so. >> he has the charisma. >> i watched rise of the planet of the apes last week. he was the least life lifelike
12:45 am
thing in the movie. the apes,-- if i go like this enough you will know what i mean. >> yes, but did you see "milk." remember the pool scene? >> he was good in "milk." >> are we trying to con spear size here? is there a spear re? >> i don't think that is a word. >> but i use it enough. >> bill, you are writing a book called "sidekicks anonymous." any takers yet? >> no, but i have been a receiver for being a sidekick as long as i have been. i get the bad stuff, andrew. i get it. but also i think i should write a book about james franco because that would sell. a real book, not a loosely tied one. that would sell. not only has he got a lot of hobbies, but i believe he has a lot of secrets. >> and you think you can find them out? >> i am a reporter, look into
12:46 am
it. the new york post reports the kardash eight ns could be getting their own magazine. the reality tv family could be close to signing a teal with a major publication. bill, you used to work at american media what will it be like? >> success. i worked for a magazine called "sly" aka sylvester stallone's magazine for men in their 50s and above who want to take control of their life in a physical way. we lasted all of five issues. every one of those did not win a peabody. >> every one? >> yes. bernard, what will it take to make the kardashians go away? >> a lot of time. overexpose sure. >> i don't have that much time. >> i am seriously shocked at the pipe -- at the people i find watch the reality show. for a sake of what we do for a
12:47 am
living i turned it on once and tried to make my way through it. i couldn't stand it. and then i find out my sister watches it. i never would have guessed she would. their audience is huge. it is far reaching, and it is still growing. i i wouldn't put it past the magazine to be successful. >> riddle me this since you are the business girl. this magazine is how all one would achieve the kardashian lifestyle. how many articles can you write about having a sex tape with a rapper? the one issue scpru done. >> what about marying a basketball player for a couple months? >> two articles. >> now the next chapter she can write it about divorce and why he is evil and wrong and why men sufnlght that's what it will be about. >> you know what the kardashians prove? the problem is not wall street. people should not be occupying wall street. they should be occupying main street. these are the people who are buying the kardashian magazine and watching these stupid shows are voting on our
12:48 am
elected members. that's why this country -- >> is it fair to say that the kardashins -- at a certain point there is a pact with satan. >> absolutely. >> a lot of americans have occupied kardashian street. it makes for good tv. >> dad must be rolling in his grave of the he was the lawyer for oj. he started all of this madness. >> the lawyer for oj must be so taken a back. >> you would think the worst thing he did this his life was getting oj off, but no. it is not even top 10. >> his daughters gotten tire nba teams off. >> that that was good. >> always know when it is time to take a break when bill is around. when we return we will discuss another story or maybe we will do something else. let's find out together, shall we?
12:52 am
12:53 am
