tv   Greta Van Susteren  FOX News  January 23, 2012 10:00pm-11:00pm PST

10:00 pm
better candidate. i say giants myself. >> i have no idea. >> pick the giants. with tom brady. >> the patriots. i love tom brady. >> i do. >> sean: that all the time we have left. thanks for being with us and we'll see you tomorrow night. >> greta: tonight, put on the body armor, political attacks are getting more vicious. the florida primary is coming up quickly and not one candidate is crying uncle. they are hitting the campaign trail and hitting each other harder. take a look at some of the punches the candidates and supporters are throwing. >> do you think gingrich will embarrass the party? >> i think he has embarrassed the party. whether he'll do it in the future, i don't know. >> this is baloney. usually it's pious baloney but
10:01 pm
it's desperate. we moved from that. >> so i have had the leadership. speaker gingrich was leader for four years as speaker of the house. at the end of four years, it was proven he has with a failed leader and he had to resign in disgrace. >> i've been told by a variety of people that governor romney has been saying unkind things. >> well, if you believe that line, that newt gingrich is the inside they're will shake things up in washington, i guess you believe that bill clinton didn't inhale. >> if you have been campaigning for six years and you begin to see it slip away, you get desperate. when you get desperate and you say almost anything. >> i don't know newt, but there wasn't enough money to ask that question. >> who do you target?
10:02 pm
gingrich, romney, santorum that you have to convince the voters of florida that you are better a candidate? >> from my viewpoint, i can't separate the three of them. >> greta: tea party leader jim demint endorsed romney in 2008 but not this year. so what happened? jim demint, author, spoke to us. senator, nice to see you. >> good to be you. >> greta: in 2008 you endorsed romney for president. this year you are not endorsed anyone. why are you endorsing governor romney this time? >> it's a different race. different issues and i like things about all of our candidates. greta, i'm keying my focus on senate conservatives. it doesn't matter who is president. if we have the same senate as we do today we're going to push this country off a cliff.
10:03 pm
>> greta: in terms of the group of four who are currently slated to be one of your nominees, who is the most conservative? >> i think they espousing conservative principles in various ways. i'm not sure it will come down to the differences on issues who is most conservative. i think what we saw last week in south carolina is republicans particularly looking for a president they know will take it to media when they are not telling the truth. they will take it to obama when he is trying to manage our economy and run us into the ground. we want a fighter as president. that is what they want in senate candidates, too. i think they will do the job but we need someone that going to stand up. i think a lot of us believe this could be the last chance to turn our country around. we have to have a president who not only has conservative principles, but knows how to get them done. >> greta: in terms of taking to the media, first thing, who you
10:04 pm
may favor, i think it's pretty clear that speaker gingrich is taking us in the media to the woodshed. would you agree with that? >> i would. that doesn't mean the other three can't do it. i think it's important that these candidates tell the truth about republicans and when we had the majority, we didn't do what we said we were going to do. we spent too much. we have to vince americans we're going to do what we say and candidates need to get the truth out on the table so people believe us. i think the candidates have it in them to take it to the media, but we saw from last week we saw it from gingrich, will we site from romney? from is santorum in we've seen it from ron paul all along the way. one of the things that newt did, he started recognizing monetary policy was one of big issue.
10:05 pm
he took it from ron paul. it helped newt. it probably diminished ron paul a little bit. >> greta: you say they all talk about it. do any of four or who of the four, i should say, has the production record that supports your conservative values? >> i know i you are trying to favor one of them. >> greta: no, i'm trying to isolate who is most in line with senator jim demint? >> if i could put together a package of the four of them, could give you are one perfect candidate, but we don't have one. so all of them have great things about them. some of them have things they have done that i disagree with. they will all be good president. if we have a good congress and senate. i want to conserve the majority in the senate because the president doesn't write the budgets, we do.
10:06 pm
the legislation is going to come out of the congress. i think you are going to see this change. i don't like the negative attacks now that are going on. i criticize newt a few weeks ago when he was going after romney for bain capital. i'm criticizing newt this week, excuse me, mitt for going after newt in a very negative way. we want to see the vision that these candidates have. we want to hear the passion. we want to know they are willing to fight for what has to be done. >> greta: who is the least imperfect, you said there is no perfect one. let me turn to another issue: governor romney says he is going to release his tax returns. should the candidates to have produce their tax returns now? do you think that is wise thing? secondly, is one year enough to get a picture of someone's tax return, or should each candidate produce three, for example?
10:07 pm
>> i think the financial disclosure that we all have to release tells people what we own stocks that might be subject to some of the decisions. those are important for people to know those things. the tax returns, the irs determines whether those are legal, i frankly don't care but it's a precedent that was set by mitt romney's father. mitt either should have said i'm going to do it or i'm going to do it now. to be indecisive about it is what caused his problems. >> greta: i take from what you say he should release them. speaker gingrich released only one year. should the candidates if they are going to release anything, not just a simple snapshot of one year, give us three years to get a better picture of financials? >> a good question, because one year can have a lot of things. if we really want to go down
10:08 pm
that road, i don't any we need to. once you release tax returns, people demand you do it for five or ten years or seven years. i think it's another deterrent to get good people in the race because people can look at your tax return and make all kinds of accusations that are not relevant. again, we've gone down that road. one year is not going to tell you that much. goink going to do it, you should release three to five years. >> greta: thank you, sir. your state kept us busy last week. 15.8%, do you have any idea what that number means. that is last month's unemployment rate in african-american community. that almost twice the national average. alan west hosted the conservative black forum. good evening sir. >> how are you doing. >> greta: very well.
10:09 pm
that unemployment rate is unacceptable. what can you do about it? let me ask you a second question which is why do so many african-americans, why are they not member of your party? >> i think one of the things we have to do, we have to do a better job of communicating how conservative principles are aligned with the black community. those values. as a matter of fact, j.c. wattz said, there are people that share our values and they stand with us on values, but they don't vote with us. so we've got to do a better job of communicating those conservative principles and why they can help to eradicate that number of 15.8% unemployment. we talked about those urban areas, going back to jack kemp, something that laffer talked about, because america can't be
10:10 pm
greater than the sum of its parts. >> greta: in terms of those conservative principles, 15.8% and bring it down to a much more reasonable number, even humane number, which of the four candidates that are running truly has those principles best to address that particular problem do you think? >> i will give speaker gingrich some credit, even though folks on the left side are trying to turn it into a race issue -- he has recognized that issue as far as the amount of people that have been put on food stamps. the level of poverty, and also focusing on trying to have a dialogue with the african-american community. he has offered to go and speak for the naacp how we can get an economic revival and get small business growth within the black community. >> greta: race dating? >> race, they use it as an issue
10:11 pm
they tried to draw attention congressman clyburn and speaker gingrich was speaking in some secret race code, trying to draw attention to something that does not exist. i think you saw in the 2008 election when people were put back on their heels of asking anything of barack obama when he should have been vetted just like anybody else. >> greta: reverend sharpton but congressman clyburn, 40 theologian leaders, wanting them to oat perpetuating ugly stereotypes, are they wrong or the candidates doing that? >> i would ask those people if their values are rooted in christian principles or values are rooted in liberalism. i don't see anything as far as
10:12 pm
being racially motivated. let's speak about the fact. that is what we have to be dufg here. you and i talked about this last week, we can't have a situation in the united states of america where you believe that only certain people of certain skin color can talk about a certain issue. >> greta: in terms of getting the message out, in last election, many elections before that, the african-american vote is 95, 97%. democratic. how do you intend to get your message out that has not been recent i have to the republican party? >> the fact that you and i are talking about it right now. we had four major, two at the conservative black forum. it was covered entirely by c-span. cnn was in, black entertainment television was there. 33% of the black community identify themselves as being
10:13 pm
conservative. as congressman watsgs said they share the values but not voting with us. >> greta: and the african-american vote in your state, to the extent it's going republican in florida, which are the four candidates is most likely get that vote? >> i would not dare look into a crystal ball on that. in the state of florida you have a black female lieutenant governor. you have myself the first black congress member on the republican side since 1876, i believe. so i think we have historical connection. i the fact i can be a role model and talk about the conservative values of limited government and how we can stand up for those hard working taxpayers and families in every community. that is how we are going to make that connection. >> greta: thank you, sir. >> now to fo a blistering topic.
10:14 pm
state of the union address, it is tomorrow but already capitol hill is almost on fire about it. of course, it's an election year. president's approval rating are grim and he is expected to higher taxes on the rich. here is what john boehner told fox news. >> i would rather, it sounds to me like the same old policies we've seen. more spending, higher taxes, more regulations. the same policies that haven't helped our economy and made it worse. if that is what is the president is going to talk about tuesday night, i think it's pathetic. >> greta: one congressman, announced he will not attend the state of the union. congressman lamburn joins us. >> greta: the countries from time to time report the state of the union but you won't go.
10:15 pm
why? >> unfortunately the president, i like him personally and i respect him, he is going to be talking about the policies that he promoting that i is taking our knoong the wrong direction. as matter of conscience i will not be there. i protesting he will be talking about policies that are leading us in the wrong path. look at the last three weeks, keystone pipeline, defense cuts and unconstitutional appointments to the national labor relations board. i can't be a part of that. >> greta: from time to time, but to listen and not necessarily agree. president bush, those that might have been opposed to the war in the democratic party they attended out of respect. it's an annual thing where we offer a sit down and listen, not necessarily agree but listen. i'm curious i think what the
10:16 pm
message you actually see. >> i can't speak for anyone else. i have not spoken to anyone else about this. it's strictly a matter of me and my conscience. i will listen to what he says. i will not be doing it in person. >> greta: have you spoken to the speaker but the speaker you are not going to go? >> no, i have not told the leadership, frankly, if they discourage me, i would still do what i feel i have to do. >> greta: have your constituents said anything? >> i am hearing both sides. some supporters of the president don't like what i'm doing. others say they think sit in a dog and pony show. those are not my words. i'm hearing all kinds of perspectives. >> greta: one the of the could you remember yoingsous things, couple members republicans and
10:17 pm
democrats sit together. do you have any thought on that? >> i did that last year. although, it was purely symbolic. i don't think it led to any substantive difference. i think it's purely symbolism. >> greta: what if all the members of congress didn't snow up? >> i don't think that is going to happen. >> greta: what would happen? >> greta, i'm just doing this for myself and my conscience. i can't imagine that happening. i don't know how to answer that question. >> greta: congressman, thank you sir. >> greta: how did they get away with this? federal workers owe more than a billion dollars in unpaid taxes for 2010. think about it. we pay taxes to pay their salaries yet they don't pay their taxes on their salaries we

10:22 pm
>> greta: are you sitting down for this one? you need to. for the year 2010, federal workers owe more than a billion dollars in unpaid taxes. federal workers owe for the year 2010 one billion in unpaid taxes. you know they won't get fired for not paying their taxes, meanwhile, you are paying taxes to pay their salaries. 98,000 delinquent federal employees so how can this be allowed to go on? ed, i saw your story first thing this morning and i am still angry about it. first of all, let's identify, give me some examples of some government employees who owe taxes. >> there are about 600 on capitol hill. you've got a few thousands who work like places like pentagon,
10:23 pm
housing and urban development and department of education. handful of people u.s. tax courts and social security administration and handful that work for the irs. 98,000 people. postal workers, agencies, work on capitol hill few thousands of millions of americans that didn't pay $114 billion in taxes overall. so billion is a big, but $114 billion is bigger. >> greta: this is just one year. they are not going to lose their jobs. we pay their sarlgs with taxes. how can they possibly get away with this? >> because there is no law that says that they have to. there are two bills on capitol hill one, in the house and senate that would essentially require the federal government to fire people who thumb their nose and don't pay up. severe financial hard
10:24 pm
subpoenaship you can prove it, your bosses agreed you would be allowed to sort that out and keep your job but otherwise if you are not paying your taxes, lawmakers believe it should happen. both of these bills are not going anywhere, they are stuck in committee. they have been through several times in recent years and they don't get passed. >> greta: that is disgraceful. here is one example. in the executive office of the president of the united states there are 36 staffers who owe a combined total of 833,9 open for the year 2010 --833970. >> and four work in the house and 200 or so in senate, combined they owe about ten million. when you add up all the workers of the department navy and air force, they owe about, i think it was north of $200 million in unpaid taxes. it just percolates throughout
10:25 pm
the government. look, it might be your neighbor or someone down the street that doesn't pay. in this case, they are tracked because the irs has done this since 1993. they issue a report every year to the head of these agencies. here are the people who aren't paying up. does the agency do anything about that? we're led to believe they don't but at least they are getting a report who is not paying up. >> greta: this is from your article that has a litany. you are say there are two bills stuck in congress that could help with the program. congressional staff there's went to work in the congress owed in unpaid taxes $10.6 million. so, meanwhile, they need to get their job to get the bill out. it's stunning. ed, thank you, i hope every american will listen to this and write to his or her congressman. do something about this. we pay their taxes. ed, thank you.

10:31 pm
senator rand paul said he was detained by the tsa. >> good to be with you, greta. >> you had a bit of a dustup today with the tsa. what happened? >> well, you know, i have been going to the airport pretty frequently over the last years since i was elected. most times, i haven't had any trouble. but this morning, i went through the screenert and screener-- the machine said there was a hot spot near my knee. so i showed them my knee and pulled my sock down and thought that would be sufficient. but they wanted to do a pat-down exam. i said, well, i just as soon walk back through the screener they had let me do that before. they said no, you get a pat-down or you don't fly. i said, well i would rather talk to the manager. but nobody seemed to be willing to let me go back through the screener. this is a conversation we have been having at the tsa, you know, i fought hard in the spring to have little kids go
10:32 pm
back through the screener, but i thought we were going to apply it to adults as they had let me in previous airports. in order to travel, we need to have some dignity. we can have security and dignity. but tsa needs to do a better job. >> you know, it's funny, when i heard that, the word detention was used. did you feel detained at any point? >> well, yeah, i was detained in a clear cubicle where they detain you. i was very aggressively told not to leave the cubicle. so in my mind, i felt like i was being detained because distep out of the cubicle one time to talk to the tsa and i was very forcefully told i needed to re-enter. when i wanted to use my cell phone to call my office because i was supposed to be there for a march for life rally and tell them i wasn't going to make it. they told me because i had to use my phone, hito have a full
10:33 pm
pat-down, to me, i took that as a threat. i didn't take that very well that they were going to punish me for using my phone. e >> in a twisted way, senator, i am happy this happened to you. let me tell you why. it's because many of us travel a lot. and there are so many things we need to fix about this system. we need to be secure, but there are so many things and you are in a position to fix this because, you know, your experience is -- not unlike a lot of other experiences around the country where the system isn't working perfectly. >> i think all americans -- i don't want special treatment. all more thans should be allowed to choose pat-down or go back through the scanning machine. the other thing i learned today and several tsa officials told me off the record, that the scanning machine sends a false positive signal so they can randomly pat down people. i was told that's why it was positive. then they let me go back through the screener about an hour and-a-half later and it was negative. so either the machine is not
10:34 pm
very good or they're programming in random screenings. and a couple of them off record told me, yes, i was probably subjected to a random screening, but they're tricking the public into thinking, oh, you set off the buzzer, so we don't have a choice in this random pat-down. i don't think the random pat-downs are making us any safer. i want to know where the middle-eastern students are, in our country, are they in class, going to class? if you have been to yemen twice in the last six months, i want to know who you are and know more about your travel. but most american citizens need a relatively easy security process that is not too invasive and doesn't take away our dignity. >> i know you said you didn't want to be treated differently. but at any point, did anyone recognize you who are and think oh, no, that's a u.s. senator. >> people finally did say to me, senator paul. but i always show just my driver's license. i wait in the same line.
10:35 pm
i don't ask for any special privileges at the airport. even when they brought me back in, hi15 minutes to make the flight, now they were trying to let me skip the line, i waited in the line. i don't want people to think i am trying to get something different. i am trying to get a system for frequent travelers of any sort and all stripes, i want it to be easier for to you get through the airport. the fact that you are taking an adult diaper off an 88-year-old woman or an 8-month-old girl and doing invasive exams of six-year-old girls, it needs to change. they are changing some of this but only when we tell them we are really upset. so the next time the buzzer goes off, americans need to say, i. to go through the screening again to make sure the screening's working. if we had a million people ask that tomorrow, maybe the tsa would change their policy. >> some of the screenings, i paid for a special service. it's only available at one airport. they are never staffing it.
10:36 pm
it's the most absurd thing in the world. you know, so we need someone to champion the cause to make it better. if people are willing to go through the pre-screenings and pay extra money and have a faster line or go through the machine or pat-down or whatever, we ought to be able to have that, but nobody seeps to be championing that. >> a frequent flyer program or a trusted traveler program. it's been 10 years. they are just starting it in a few airports. the private programs where you could buy and get a background check done, they didn't work also because they sent you through the same security. you didn't get a faster line. you didn't get to keep your shoes on or your belt on. you were going through the same process and it didn't speed up anything. now they have a special line for the pilot. i would take the special line for the pilot, chiam all for, and start adding to that frequent business travelers that are willing to do a background check. the other thing it does, it allows the screeners to spend more time with people that may
10:37 pm
be a threat to our country when they are spending less time with people who are regular business travelers. >> the whole thing with the pilot, i have been behind pilots in line, i thought, that's odd, if they wanted to do damage, they are mind the controls of the plane and could do horrible damage. i hope you take this up as know one of your causes because i travel a lot. thank you. thank you. >> threatening to put the world's oil supply at risk by iran. john bolton is standing by to go on the record, next. ♪[music pys] ♪[music plays] ♪[music plays]

>> this is a fox news alert. i'm ainsley earhardt in new york. "the wall street journal" shedding new information about mitt romney's tax returns, report that this g.o.p. presidential contender earned nearly $22 million in 2010, paying $3 million in federal taxes. romney reports making almost $21
10:42 pm
million last year. nearly all of his income came from investments. his tax returns were a topic of debate in the presidential faceoff in tampa, florida. he promised governors there would be no surprises. for his part, romney focused his attacks on newt gingrich, accusing the ex-house speaker of being a washington lobbyist. gingrich claimed that romney was spreading misinformation a week before the primary. one poll shows gingrich with a decisive lead among voters down there. go to foxnews.com for more of our headlines. have a good night. >> greta: iran says it intends to refal yate where it my try to close the straits hormuz. decision today was to impose an oil embargo against iran. good evening, sir.
10:43 pm
the embargo that the europeans have decided to impose, is that embargo with teeth or is that show? >> i think there is less than meets the eye. what happens immediately there is prohibition on new contracts but existing contracts will continue to be honored through july. enforcement of the ban itself is left up to each nation as best i can tell. which means like greece, italy and spain that rely heavily on imports from iran may be able to find ways around it. you can bet the iranians. they've done this for ten years and they do have contingency plans. i'll be surprised if it has that much impact. >> greta: i thought what was interesting the statement from leaders of france, germany and u.k. with the oil embargo, they were quoted as saying, we will not accept iran acquiring a nuclear weapon.
10:44 pm
i thought that was a different signal, if the sanctions don't work, they are on board to make sure this doesn't happen? >> i think you are right but american presidents have been saying for ten years it's unacceptable for iran to have nuclear weapon. the iranians have another card to play here. that is obviously the weak economic conditions in of those european can countries, particularly heavily depend eochbt their oil hoping if at the risk of the recovery in europe is made clear, that they will find additional loopholes for that oil. i think that is possible too. >> greta: are the sanctions enough to put a pinch on iran economically and do the leaders of iran really care? in some ways, i guess they have to fear there is going to be revolution when the students took to the streets. what is the risk for the leaders? >> the sanctions do impose an
10:45 pm
economic cost. i think that is good. anything that puts pressure on the regime and ultimately helps bring the regime down would be a plus. to be effective sanctions have to be applied comprehensively, swiftly. they need to be strictly enforced. none of that is happening here. you've got countries like china, venezuela prepared to help evade the sanctions, india a major buyer of iranian oil say they are not going to honor anybody's sanctions unless decided by the security council which russia and china will block. i don't see this is going to do what sanctions ought to be aimed at which is stopping the nuclear weapons program. in fact that same european statement they hope it will bring iran to the negotiating table if that is an answer to much of anything. it's not. >> greta: have we imposed the most stringent sanctions possible or is there more,
