1:00 am
here's tom barrett, running for governor in the great state of wisconsin. >> i am one of the cheapest guys on the planet and proud of it. a governor, i will put madison on a date. in these tough times, i will stack my record of fighting for jobs against anyone in the country. so when it comes to negative ads, i trust to you separate fact from fiction. >> some democrats are bleeping and angry, like carol clark, running for the united states house. >> no one does more for the
1:01 am
special interests in washington than congresswoman michelle bachman. michelle bachman, not doing [bleep] for the people of the sixth district, but doing more than her share for the special interests in washington. >> the candidates are not the only ones in the mud, their supporters are, too. friends for harry reid paid for this brutal ad. >> introducing sharon engle's crazy. made with real mint. all our crazy juice is made with nonclorinated water. so, so, so extreme! >> joining us is rick cline. at least they are getting more creative. >> have you to be funny. at least we are seeing humor. have you to match that up with
1:02 am
the campaign message. it's hard to see it if in the crazy juice ad. >> but that was a good one. >> it was funny. but you need to break through. that's the bottom line from my perspective there. i think we are seeing a great, silly season of ads. you need to do something different because people are seeing way too much. governor wanna-be barrett said he's cheap. cheap's good. >> this could be the year of the cheapskate. if you can defend yourself as fiscally responsible, he's talking about his personal and professional life. people can associate him with, yeah, i like that guy, he's tight fisted and that's a message. >> we didn't show the one out of colorado, where michael bennett says his opponent is like sharon engle. he is reaching across borders, saying he's like this other person. >> that's a harder sell, i think. i don't think most voters in colorado or nationwide are
1:03 am
focused on nevada. i think that's a risk for a comment that has been out there, from the out-there things that the tea party candidates have said. if people associate the agenda with the candidate, that's not a problem. but it's a more stretched arguement to make. >> every candidate, republican, democrat says, cut down on spending, get jobs, not raise taxes. not a washington insider, i am for you -- i am you. i am for the truth. and the other guy wants to take all of your money, take your social security, take your medicare. is only in it for the lobbyists and is a washington insider. >> sounds like you have a campaign message. >> they all say the same thing. >> that's polling. they know where the voters are, whether you are coming from the left or the right, you need to think about the message, voters are angry, you need to pitch yourself in that way. >> my guess is -- and this is a guess -- that the voters don't pay attention except to be amused to see if they are funny
1:04 am
or whatever. they all do say the same thing. >> i wondered about the effectiveness down the stretch because there are so many. we are seeing record spending, outside groups, inside groups, the campaigns themselves. you need to break through in a way. when you bleep out a word, maybe that works or you say crazy juice, maybe that works. >> i think the michele bachman race is interesting, even if she wins, if the cards fall the way the democrats want, they are doing jerry meandering of the district, she could lose in the end. >> the redistricting and who controls the statehouse matters a lot because you can hurt a lot of votes. >> and the other news from yesterday, sharon engle is up within the margin of error in nevada. >> a couple of backers. harry reid has a ceiling there, it will be hard to nudge much higher because he's a known quantity. people can vote for "none of the
1:05 am
above." there is an anti-harry reid vote out there. >> i think the none of the above will be a successful ballot. the american voters don't seem happy. >> yeah. one of the strategies that the democrats will have is to try the negatives of the person and clearly fthey don't get any votes for them, that helps them. you don't have to crack 50% to win. >> the likely voters, those are the big ones that we pay the most attention to. how do they get the likely voters to vote. >> most of the likely voters have already decided. >> but getting them to vote? >> yeah. now this is an election month or six weeks because of early voting. you need to get people energized and get the base out. i think that we will see that in the closing arguements. >> who likes the early voting? >> who like its? >> typically, what candidate? >> this is an unknown quantity this year.
1:06 am
generally, any candidate that has the institutional advantage, a machine on the ground. incumbents would generalitiy be favored. but people who are energized to do it. early voting is becoming more of the norm. candidates are adapting. >> i guess the candidate who likes the early voting who gets arrested the day before the election. >> right. anyone who has a november surprise. >> i like the surprise of the big day. >> we won't know the results. >> you're right. thank you. >> thanks. >> you have heard of men having women problems, how about the democrats? are they having issues with women? that is, women voters. listen to this, a report in may 2009 found 41% of women identified themselves as democrats. and just 22% identified themselves as republicans. but are things changing since may '09? here's why democrats might be a touch worried. a new poll finds in a hypothetical congressional race,
1:07 am
47% of women would vote democrat, 44% would vote republican. and the women -- they are big voters. >> women are big voters. they are -- many women also consider themselves independent. so you look at the independent numbers and they can swing back and forth. and have you had things happen in the past in the past few years that are really interesting. have you had sarah palin, who showed conservative republican women, whether or not they supported her in the long run or will support her in the future, it showed them that they could have a voice. >> does she draw out more women voters? >> sure. >> for democrats as well? >> maybe. i think, well, you could look at sarah palin and hillary clinton having prominent roles in politics that it encouraged them. in addition to that, for the first time to my knowledge, have you two women running statewide in california, self-funding. they are not using their husbands' money. this is money that they made on
1:08 am
their own merits and they are willing to pay what it takes to try to be competitive in the elections. and they are competitive. they could win those races. >> and the woman in connecticut? >> sure. >> a colorful one. >> and not only that, for the republican party, have you more diversity that you haven't seen, especially amongst women. suzanna martinez is likely to be the next governor of new mexico. >> a republican. >> and nikki halley should be the republican in georgia. that doesn't mean we don't have a long way to g. i think there is something interesting happening, a great article a couple of weeks ago, talking to representative marcia blackburn, who had been observing the tea party events. she said, there is a lot of women there, a lot of young grandmothers, one or two children. and they are worried about their grandchildren or their children's future. i think there is a movement afoot, i don't know if republicans will be able to take
1:09 am
advantage of it, but they have a real opportunity here. >> i mean, this campaign seems to be no social issues. it seems to be money. money and jobs. are those typically the things, you know, that men and women's issues. >> increasingly so for women. other demographics will show you, or studies, will show that you women are increasingly contributing more income to the household n. some cases, they are bringing in more than the husband or they are the head of the household t. they are thinking: i have earned this money, i work hard every single day and i want fairness. i don't want my children to be burdened with something they can't afford and they don't need. i am for smaller government. >> i suspect that 20, 30, 40 years ago, husbands and wives might vote like a husband, you know, whatever the husband's going to vote. >> now -- now there is a possibility that can cancel each other. >> or it's a family affair.
1:10 am
women are convincing the men. women make a lot of household decisions outside of voting. what kind of car the family's going to buy. the household budget. women are usually the ones who take care of the health care. they are very worried they won't be able to have the doctor they want. i am encouraged to see the participation level. i know a woman in nebraska, kathleen allen, who started liberty lunch. she invited women to come with a guest speaker, it's an inexpensive lunch and it's substantive. and now speakers are vying for the opportunity to speak in front of this group. >> do you expect a big turnout -- both sides? men and women? democrats and republicans? >> i expect a big turnout on the republican side because of what i have read. >> how do you get them to vote? i mean, people can be really mad. but they get busy. >> they can multi-task. >> and rick told us about the early voting.
1:11 am
but, you know, have you to get the people to vote. people can get riled up and say they are going to vote. but how do you get them to vote? >> i think in terms of getting out the vote and making sure that people get to the polls, things do fall in the republicans' favor because of the intensity and they really do want change. and they fought for two years to get here. the tea party movement, we have seen the whole thing. and they are worried about the next two years. but what happens november 3, a a positioning for the 2012 election starts. putting up christmas decorations before halloween. >> a republican woman candidate? >> i don't think so. not this time. hopefully, in the future. >> we'll see. you wonder whether sarah palin will run. that's the big mystery. we will find out. dana, thank you. >> thanks. >> next, newt gingrich is here. he just did something and really ticked off speaker nancy pelosi. what did he do? he will tell you himself. and believe it or not, gloria allred, she returns.
1:12 am
last time she was here, we locked horns over the maid. gloria is in minutes. >> what did this guy do for only the second time in history? we will show you. [ advisor 1 ] what do you see yourself doing one week,
1:13 am
one month, five years after you do retire? ♪ client comes in and they have a box. and inside that box is their financial life. people wake up and realize i better start doing something. we open up that box. we organize it. and we make decisions. we really are here to help you. they look back and think, "wow. i never thought i could do this." but we've actually done it. [ male announcer ] visit ameriprise.com and put a confident retirement more within reach.
1:14 am
>> greta: newt gingrich is here. hear about the memo he to republican candidates? getting under tnc >> former [speaking spanish] is house. nancy pelosi seems very annoyed. what's in the memo that is causing democrats' noses to get out of joint. he and his wife calista have a new book, america at risk. mr. speaker, you really did it this time. she's not happy with you. >> i don't understand what she's so upset about. i took a fact that in june, we paid more people food stamps than ever before in american
1:15 am
history. i took a fact, which is that their job-killing policies on taxes and regulations have made this the longest, deepest recession since the great depression. and i took a fact that the democrats left town without passing a new tax law, leaving every business in america uncertain about their january taxes, less than 90 days away. i suggested that their policies kill jobs and therefore, the food stamps may be the right symbol for the democratic party. she seemed to get very upset. >> greta: i think she didn't like the way it was framed, is that the choice, republicans you can say -- you can say the democrats are the party of food stamps while the g.o.p. is the party for paychecks. i think. she responded. she said that food stamps are the biggest bang for the stamps, it's the biggest bang for the buck and for every dollar a person receives in food stamps,
1:16 am
$1.79 is put back in the economy. >> well, you know, i carry around a bumper sticker that says 2 plus 2 equals 4. so i would be very curious how a dollar given to somebody becomes 1.79. i think if we could get that to work at the u.s. treasury, so people gave the treasury $1,000, it would become $1790, we could pay off the federal debt and never worry about spending or anything. i don't understand how liberal math turns one dollar into $1.79. but there is something more fundamental. people are being driven to food stamps because the democratic policies are killing their jobs. people don't voluntarily say i want to give up a paycheck to get food stamps. most americans overwhelmingly would rather have a job with a paycheck than be forced to depend on the government for food stamps. i think speaker pelosi doesn't realize when her policies kill
1:17 am
jobs, people are not grateful and happy that she redistributes income to them in the form of a food stamp, they would like to have a stable environment for small business, litigation reform, tax cuts, policies that create jobs so people can go out and buy their own food with their own money. they don't need nancy pelosi giving them a stamp to buy a food. they would like to keep the mon netheir pocket that they could then buy their own food, buy their own clothing and go on their own vacation and not have the government take care of them. >> all right. let's talk strategy. christine o'donnell, since you are giving advice to republicans, what's your advice for her in delaware? >> i think she ought to slow down and go back to 2 plus 2 equals 4 and draw the sharp contrast between harry reid, which he describe audio harry reid described mr. coons at his pet. what's he going to stand for in washington? he will stand for higher taxes,
1:18 am
more spending, fewer jobs. and he's a perfect example of a food stamp candidate because he will weaken the delaware economy with liberal policies that make it harder to create jobs. christine o'donnell stands for the taxpayers and for the policies that will create job fist in delaware. if she will focus on that choice and make it a policy choice, not a personality choice, she has a chance to win this election. >> what about meg whitman in california? she's got the whole issue over the housekeeper, gloria allred pounded her pretty hard about that. what's your advice for her on how to handle that controversy? >> well, i think that meg whitman has to go back to the much, much bigger issue for all of california, which is, how much longer are you going to allow sacramento to cripple the state and reduce everybody's income, to put more and more californians on food stamps and kill more and more jobs and
1:19 am
drive more and more companies out of california? i was just in san antonio, texas, last week, the number of companies that called them from california and say they are thinking of moving to texas because they can't afford the regulations, the red tape, the taxes, the special interest politics, she's got to wrap sacramento around jerry brown's neck. jerry brown representsa hay family in office since 1946. he is the democratic party of california. she has to make it a clear choice. if you think you can afford sacramento, vote for jerry brown. if you think we need real change, you ought to vote for meg whitman. >> speaker gingrich, please stand by. we have much more with you. remember this? >> i know a lot of people like you and a lot of people on fox newschannel would like her -- >> greta: now stop that. now, stop that. now, gloria -- don't you dare to do that to me. gloria is back in the middle of
1:20 am
the housekeeper dustup. and we have a major announcement. director morton goes on the record, coming up.

1:22 am
>> greta: mr. speaker i don't have to tell you how much we
1:23 am
in the media will have to talk are more and gossip and >> greta: the rumor that is circling washington is that vice-president biden might be replaced by secretary of state hillary clinton. your thought on that? >> well, i don't know. i saw... i guess something went through today that suggested that maybe there was a swap with randy moss going to the vikings, there is a sense of trading positions going on right now. the email -- >> greta: that is a done deal, actually. he is leaving the patriots. >> tradition. the same tradition of what i saw today said that maybe secretary clinton would become vice-president and vice-president biden would become secretary of state and karzai would be traded to the vikings to replace moss. they didn't suggest who will replace karzai and is it a first draft choice? i think this is a silly season. vice-president biden is the vice-president.
1:24 am
secretary of state hillary clinton is secretary of state. they can't constitutionally change either one. the president will decide who his runningmate is in the summer of 2012. >> greta: but -- i understand politics is politics. but i guess when i started to read the goss scpip we like this media business, we love to talk about what might be and could be, even though we have sometimes -- sometimes don't have the facts maybe to prove it. but it -- goss scpip we like. >> but vice-president biden, whether you agree with his policies or not, he's spent years and years and years as a very experienced member of the senate foreign relations. and if he were dump from the ticket for somebody else, it shows such disloyalty to me that it bothers me. but why? we have lots of governors races, lots of senate races, lots of house races. you are on the edge of what may
1:25 am
be the biggest election in modern times. i saw a very reputable analyst today who said he thought the republicans could win more than 60 seats that. would be the highest swing since 1932 in terms of votes by one party. so there is a lot of exciting things to talk about that for real for the next 3 1/2 weeks. the time to speculate about vice-president biden, i suspect, is july of 2012. and between now and then, he's the vice-president and i he does the best possible job. and the secretary of state is important. i hope secretary of state clinton does a good job. but they are locked into their jobs. >> greta: you are right on that. to california, senator barbara boxer and carlie fiorina. you have been giving advice -- what advice do you have for carlie fiorina? she's down a few points. >> well, again, i think -- this is a year where the more republicans can make an issue of
1:26 am
policy rather than personality, the more they can draw the contrast. senator boxer's been there 18 years. are the people with california happy with what is happening in washington? do they think the current democratic policies are good? do they want more mon newashington and less in california? the degree to which car carl can make this a choice two of directions in america, a job-destroying, big-tax, big-liltigation barbara boxer policy and a pro jobs policy by someone who has actually created jobs. if you looked at the work that carlie fiorina has done in the private sector and barbara boxer's work in destroying jobs, you would have a clear, decent policy choice, which would get you to barbara boxer as the candidate for the food stamps and carlie fiorina the candidate for the paychecks. >> but carlie fiorina has been in the race since she has been
1:27 am
the nominee since june. she has been making that argument and senator barbara boxer is making a different arguement and the people of california, in terms of likely voters think that senator barbara boxer is the better one to serve the state. so there has to be a changeup. i don't think that's going -- i mean, that maybe an effective argument, but not effective enough to win. >> well, look, i think california's one of those states, you look -- california ranking, i think second to michigan for total under employment, every fifth californian is out of work, works part time or has given up looking for work. i think you are in a situation where if carlie fiorina can drive this into every part of california, which is a very complex state, that in the end, the pocketbook is going to beat personality. and the fact is that barbara boxer has been part of destroying jobs in a way that has made california poorer and weaker and with a more limited future. i just think -- i don't believe
1:28 am
that this is a year where republicans do particularly well on personality. democrats have to attack on personality because they have no policyless they can defend. they have to try to make their opponent radioactive. i think republicans are better off to look past that and go back to the voters' own self-interest in a better future with more jobs and more take-home pay. >> what do you think will surprise us the most come election day? >> i think delaware has the chance to be the most unusual upset. connecticut's closing rapidly and the democratic attorney general there -- >> greta: he's up 14 points. how could he be weak? he's up 14 points, even though everyone knows he's got the vietnam thing. he is up 14 points! >> you asked me what the biggest surprise would be, wouldn't that surprise you? >> greta: you said he was closing in. your words -- >> i think -- >> greta: i asked the surprise question and your words surprised me.
1:29 am
>> okay. all i tell you is that the general principle right now, i think the republicans are between plus 55 and plus 65 in the house and between plus 7 and plus 12 in the senate and between 32 and 34 republican governors after election night. i think that will be a bigger sweep than '94 and maybe comparable to anything we have seen since 1932. >> greta: mr. speaker, as always, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> greta: next, gloria allred goes on the record and there is news in the meg whitman dustup. last time she was here, fireworks exploded. donald trump, the world's most expensive barbie and a newborn baby tiger are coming up. it's a wild night here on the record.
1:30 am
1:31 am
1:32 am
>> greta: i bet you didn't think she would come back.
1:33 am
well she did. she is here. lawyer gloria allred is back go on the record. gloria is in the middle of a dust up that has changed the race for california governor. meg whitman's long time housekeeper an illegal immigrant says whitman knew she was in the country illegally. whitman denies it. things got heated the last time gloria was here. >> greta, let me address your other point. besides the that a multi-millionaire somehow doesn't think when the government -- >> greta: that's blackmail that that's the problem gloria. you are blackmailing her because she looks like the creep because she is the rich person against the person who is here illegally. who is going to treat her -- >> whole on! >> greta: today we a copy of a0 wage claim filed against whitman. i say with all sincerity, welcome bam gloria. >> thank you greta, nice to be
1:34 am
back. -- >> here's the wage complaint. i see that it is filed for approximately two year period signed by your client, which the social security section this time is left blank. which is smart. let me ask you, this is now a search for compensation for what she says is wages that are owed, right? >> yes, that's correct. and mileage reimbursement as well. >> greta: is there any reason -- did you ever go to meg whitman and say, i represent someone who has a dispute you for x number of dollars and i would like to sit down and talk to you and see if it is a legitimate claim, meg whitman would want to settle it? >> no, and there is no requirement that i do so. >> greta: there's no requirement. as a practical matter. if you want to effectively represent your client the best thing is to see if you can settle it quietly. so you don't put the neon sign
1:35 am
up, i'm here illegally and i've committed a fraud under oath. and you get the money for your client on the spot without all the circus. >> i actually disagree with you greta. because i believe that my client has a right to decide, after she is advised of the options of the way to do it. she wanted to speak out. she has a right to speak out you know what, meg whitman had her chance to pay her. she did not even pay her for her last week of work after she fired her, because nicky asked for her help in getting legalized. i think that she had notice under california law an employer has a duty to pay wages once that employee is terminated has to pay them that day that they are terminated. i think that nicky has waited for more than a year to receive her wages. that's more than a year too long. i think we have a right to do it. any way that we want to do it.
1:36 am
now the government is going to intervene and attempt to see if they can settle it. >> greta: a couple of things. one, in the complaint you don't mention that extra week. you just talk about the 15 hours versus the 18 hours a week. that's an omission. >> it is not an omission. but it will be amened. we've also recently learned that. in -- in the complaint we talk about the fact that nicky alleges she had to work more than 15 hours a week but was only paid for hours a week even though some weeks she had to work 18 hours a week in order to get the job done. >> greta: she was paid about $23 hours not significant but that was the a.m. she was paid an hour, right? >> yes but she wasn't paid for all hours she worked. >> greta: but that was the hourly rate. the state of california the phaupblg is about $8. to the -- the minimum wage is
1:37 am
about $8. was there any explanation as to flexibility discussion saying look i'll pay you $23 hour and there will be some level of flexibility in the employment? >> absolutely not. she was told that she would get paid for 15 hours a week. when she did tell them, look you've added responsibilities. in addition to the housekeeping, you are asking me to drive the children to school. you are asking me to drop becomes off at the library. to you to the airport. still, even though she told them she couldn't possibly clean that 3700 square foot house, plus the guest house and do all those added responsibilities in only 15 hours a week, still she was told, you will have to prioritize. so they knew she was working more than 15 hours a week. but they refused to pay her for more than those 15 hours, that's wrong. >> greta: i still don't get, if a client came into my house
1:38 am
who had a problem. and the client had possible criminal problems because of falsifying a document. if a client had the possibility of being deported because the person is illegal here. if the client had a money problem. the first thing i would do, i would send a demand letter or contact the person. i can't get past that. i can get past the whole charade thing. it looks so much to me like this is so gaming the election. that this is not typically the way lawyers actually do -- try to help their clients this is not trying to vole of an economic dispute. it has all the markings of trying to smear meg whitman. whether she owes $600 for not -- or not -- whether she owes $6,000 or not, -- >> there is no law that says i have to do things other lawyers may do emthem. we've won hundreds of millions of dollars for victims of --
1:39 am
>> greta: this is $6,000. it is worth putting this woman at risk? is $6,000 the amount of money that you put a client at risk of being deported or prosecuted? is it really worth that? >> well, here's the point, nicky wanted to speak out publicly. as she said yesterday in our news conference, no one held a gun to her head. no one -- she is no one's puppet. she has made an informed decision after she thought about it at great length and was advised of all of the risks she want odd to speak out so people would know who meg whitman really is! >> greta: i think she would have been a lot smarter to talk to a lawyer who worried more about her liberty and whether she would be deported and whether she can make some public statement about someone running for office. >> you really don't know what her lawyers worry about or don't worry about. >> greta: you know what gloria, first thing of a job of a
1:40 am
lawyer to do protect the client not throw the client out to the wolves. that's the first job. if you can protect your client, you shouldn't do your job -- you -- >> this client nicky is intelligent, you shouldn't underestimate her ability to make informed choices she can decide she wants to take the risk. >> greta: does she need a lawyer for? was this your advice? >> i will never disclose what advice give to a client. i will tell you she has been fully informed of all of the risks, the benefits versus the risks. she has may her own accident she was willing to take those risks and -- her own decisions she was willing to take those risks and she is not sorry she did. >> greta: she may ultimately be sorry it is regrettably for $6,000 she puts herself at
1:41 am
enormous risk. >> it wasn't because of the $6,000, she wants people to know how she was treated when she was an employee of meg whitman -- >> greta: gloria, she lied and violated the law. she not the ideal spokesperson for that -- this issue. >> maybe meg whitman is not the i dell person for governor if she was on notice she an undocumented worker and continued to employ her -- >> greta: that's your idea that is your idea: you -- you can keep making this stuff up. you can make it up. you have the document where your client lied and said she had a social security number. you can make this stuff up because that's what you want it to be. >> and you can spin support meg whitman although you may try.
1:42 am
>> greta: i'm not spinning it. i don't know whitman. i've never met her. i don't even know the woman q >> i believe you, you don't know her. you also don't know my client. the document we held up last week which is the 2003 social security letter that meg whitman denied receiving that has her husband's handwriting on it. obviously she lied saying neither of them had received that letter when they. put them on notice they had an undocumented employee they were continuing to employ. she says they received letters every year after that, >> greta: i got to go, thank you. >> always a pleasure greta, thank you. >> greta: ice director has a major announcement.ñ÷
