"the five" starts right now. ♪ >> dana: things are heating

up in iowa. ron paul is in second place in a poll out there. newt gingrich is in first. ron paul is going on the offense. >> if you want to put people in jail, look at the politicians that created the environment. the politicians brought unemployment. >> gingrich on the defense, taking $1.5 million. after he led congress. freddie mac. $1.6 million. >> some just before the housing market collapsed. >> he renewed his support for the healthcare mandate. >> the individual mandate? folks, don't ask me to explain this. >> dana: those are fighting words. ron paul has been strong in iowa for a long time. steady base of support. it doesn't grow much but steady. we know his followers are passionate. aggressive. this ad is not something just put on the internet. they raised enough money and put this on the air. do you think it will have an impact? >> i think it will because he

is to organized. he could place in iowa maybe second or third. he could place in new hampshire. look, newt gingrich has an ad up. $250,000 ad. that doesn't get him a lot of ads. he is hoping that he can get more earned media. meaning we talk about it on "the five." but i still think ron paul is a long shot for the nomination. he still can help alter race for other candidates. >> dana: bob, you have done a lot of campaign in iowa at the presidential level you buy ad time. walk us through how it works? >> it's expensi. if you are going to buy the whole state, you buy the states and ajis sant states to buy into it. a real good buy in iowa for a week could cost you $750,000. ron paul and newt gingrich always had problems. gingrich dismissed ron paul out of hand. but this is only the opening

salvo. if our friend mitt romney doesn't wake up and realize he could be in trouble in iowa, he may end up third. if you remember, you probably don't remember but 1988, a longshot like ron paul by the name of pat robertson came in second in iowa, thinking george bush back to third. went on then to become president. nonetheless, iowa is a place where there could be upsets. >> andrea: if i could add quickly, a third place win for mitt romney weakens him in new hampshire. that is absolutely what he does not need. >> eric: let me ask eric about polls. in iowa, we had one from the "iowa des moines register" that showed that people by a large margin felt that gingrich was the best debater. might not be the most electable. a marist poll showed gingrich in the lead with iowa caucus voters, "washington post"/abc poll as him at 33 president. the ppp poll, democratic view still has gingrich at 27%. ron paul coming in second in

that poll. what is going through the mind of the ron paul campaign now? do you think they will make a play? >> eric: i think they are energized. the number, he is moving up. he came out of the box a couple of months ago strong in iowa. weakened, coming back. in the ppp poll, another name. you want to stay on ron paul. but there is another name. >> dana: that's okay. >> eric: pull it up. look at michele bachmann. we have haven't uttered her name a long time. all of a sudden 13% in striking distance of second place behind newt gingrich. >> dana: she did win the iowa straw poll. >> bob: but remember this is in the wake of cain getting out of the race and the tea party people behind cain and iowa. the place they'd probably move to temporarily is to michele bachmann. >> dana: today, mitt romney went on the neil cavuto show that runs before us. bob was riveted that he couldn't -- >> bob: i couldn't keep my eyes open.

>> dana: i thought he did fine. you had a thought on it. >> greg: the point of moot, which is a combination of mitt and newt. i always wanted to do that. i love the part where romney said they asked if he would do the trump debate. he said no, he had plans. it's cool. like asked to play golf. no, the wife and i have bridge. >> dana:vy to wash my hair. i thought that was the best. i want to talk about the ron paul ad which was brutal to newt. >> greg: a lot of it was accurate. the republicans were a high school, it's as though the class clown defaced the class president locker. it doesn't help the presidents and it doesn't help him either. at some point the republicans have to declare a truce and decide who they come up against. i thought that was a devastating commercial. >> andrea: they are not going to coalesce until they

have a candidate. >> greg: but there are so many left. >> andrea: it's a two-man race, and though you see bachmann gaining -- the typical winner osiowa don't win the presidency. but it does influence the rest of the race. >> eric: in the end if it's gingrich, iowa, and mitt romney, new hampshire and then all of a sudden someone else starts to do well in either two, south carolina, florida, can't you bring -- >> andrea: because it's proportional and not winner take all it could last to april. i don't see the other candidates -- >> dana: does rick perry surprise anybody? >> bob: i don't think so. he put major money out. >> greg: if he took off a massing and he was mitch daniels. >> bob: a problem with the third candidate in this race, rarely do you have three candidates. unless you have somebody like, you had huckabee the last time. who had a religious base in south carolina.

jesse jack sovereign, because he had a black face. i don't see someone moving up if they come in third or fourth because they won't have the money to compete. now the polls are solidifying. usually polls the jump all around when you are four months, three months out. you can count on the poll. they are similar. they're fairly accurate. question for mitt romney, two of them. one, does he attack newt gingrich? how hard and when? does he run a stealth campaign to save himself in iowa and come in second? >> greg: we haven't talk about the quayle bump. the effect of quayle. talk about it for ten minutes. >> bob: okay, good. >> greg: i got nothing. >> dana: yesterday bob didn't remember who dan quayle was. >> andrea: neil cavuto asked romney about punching back at newt gingrich. you are not fired up enough. you are running at the front runner, which is what he is

doing. he said we'll see. >> dana: i like in the romney interview -- >> andrea: that is the problem! >> dana: he didn't cuss. he had an opportunity. he said if i am elected president i will work day and night. >> andrea: something you would do. >> dana: i liked it. >> greg: imagine you're on a road trip and you are hungry and you go by the exit and all you see is arby's and you want off the exit. that is the republican party and arby's is romney. they don't want to pull up. >> dana: what is wrong with arby's? >> greg: roast beef? >> dana: potato is fantastic. >> bob: mormon plays in here. mormons traditionally -- he was an elder. he was very high in the mormon church. they are taught not to be emotive. they are taught to not attack. it's part of their religious base. i tell you something, the guy, he reminds me of r2-d2. the guy is so robotic. it would seem to be out of

place to be on the attack. >> eric: what he did do, which he hasn't done he took a shot at obama. he said look, if it were me i wouldn't go to hawaii for 17 days, trying to get a grip on the economy. i wouldn't do it through a golf club in hawaii. >> andrea: more of that. >> dana: that line was not practiced. came off the top of his head. just like this tease is.

saying he might use that information and release it at a time later to be deemed. here is what newt said in classic newt fashion in response. listen. >> so she is suggesting she is using material developed on the ethics committee. fundamental violation of the rules of the house and i hope the leaders file charges against her the second he does it. >> he called at it christmas gift, which it is. having worke worked in the housf representatives for years i know even the janitor knows you can't take advantage that you have from an investigation and use it publicly. >> bob: i want to mention that ladainian tomlinson swore off ham camera in the break. that is a first. >> andrea: can't tell you anything. >> bob: this is the thing i find amazing. if newt gingrich were to pray for one person to take him on, it would be nancy pelosi. i mean they have spent the republicans a fortune maligning her. she is the number one devil in

the republican base. gingrich is right, it's privileged. newt has detractors among the republicans in the house. there is a lot of information. maybe not coming out from the house but it will get out. >> andrea: these were 83 charges that were found to be false. >> dana: right. >> andrea: what is she going to use if her own investigation -- it sounds like a joke. >> dana: go back when he was speaker. go to the tim lincecu sal alinso demonize your opponent. she has done this before, she said something and then she goes silent. when she said the c.i.a. lied to her. in regard to the intel pieces. so then, the c.i.a. said excuse us? when? produce it. she never talked about it again. the media just let it go.

i guarantee you if a republican did that, they wouldn't give a pass. >> andrea: she has ethics issues after being accused to use campaign money and pay family members and then she hit on insider trading. she probably should don't this. >> eric: it's legal insider trading in congress. >> andrea: it doesn't look good. >> eric: it doesn't smell good or pass the smell test. optics are horrible. remember the other thing the loan her brother-in-law was involved in. energy department loans. questions. why is she getting involved? if barney frank says they feel very -- i don't know -- blessed that the person that they might go up against, being in the left, might go up against newt gingrich. wife doesn't she shut up if it's a great deal for them? what are they trying to do? >> greg: nancy pelosi is a terrible poker player. which says something given the fact that her face has no expression. but the thing is, if she real

ihad something on newt, she wouldn't stay so because she would want him to get the nomination and then spring it loose. what she portrayed was her fear of gingrich nomination. this was just like with the agent, it came out of her as a reaction he could be the nominee. >> andrea: the republicans can say this is part of the pelosi hatchet job. people are sick of it. enough already. >> bob: greg is being mean to nancy pelosi. her face is frozen for reasons that are not -- let me move right on. >> andrea: yes. >> bob: if you could, the fact is that newt gingrich did get epic violations. he did pass the ethics committee? he was going to make a lot of money and he backed off on that and the book deal. it wasn't as if newt came out of that thing. 83-nothing. he did violate ethics.

he got penalized for it. unless, yononetheless, nancy pes not the right person. no democrat -- >> eric: she is bringing this up about newt. meanwhile, the gentleman, house ways and means committee. give me a -- charles rangel gets nailed. >> andrea: she was going to as well. >> eric: she says you know what? charlie has been rehabed. bring charlie back. newt is horrible. >> dana: not to her point but when speaker gingrich left congress, it wasn't necessarily because the democrats forced him out. though they made the heedline h-e-double hockey sticks for a while. i did that for bob's benefit. >> bob: what is -- >> dana: h-e-double hockey sticks.

>> andrea: speaking of that, brit hume had to of who obama should prefer to run against, newt gingrich or mitt romney. >> they would rather run against newt gingrich? >> would they ever. for good reason. >> which is? >> newt gingrich. think of the number of people voting this time who have forgotten or don't remember this man as speaker of the house of representatives, only speaker sanctioned for ethics violation. >> andrea: do you agree with that? >> bob: i do. as the democrats i'd prefer to play with my party here and keep quiet about newt, but he would be easier i think. although, i think romney is a terribly flawed candidate. nonetheless, it's what you got in the year when you should be competitive with a president in this trouble. republicans frankly are not right now. but one thing i say about charles rangel, running for presidential is -- >> eric: wait a second. >> andrea: but the democrats tried to run against newt gingrich. hillary clinton chose to run against newt rather than rick

lazio running for senate. this is a different time. i think either one, democrats don't want the run against either one. >> bob: c'mon! >> andrea: it's true. >> bob: the fact is newt is running for president of the united states. hillary clinton took him on he was not. easy shot then. >> greg: request i point out, newt is leading the g.o.p., madonna is playing at the bowles. you've got billy crystal hosting the oscars. faith no more is back on tour. are we sure this isn't 1995? i'm freaking out over here. >> bob: who is faith no more? go to a tease. >> thank you, stage producer bob beckel. doing everybody's job today. so nice of you. coming up, would tim tebow be criticized like he is if he were a muslim or drug addict? a columnist says so. we debate it next. ♪ ♪ if you've just signed up for medicare or will soon,

>> andrea: "bob the red red-nosed strategist ♪ sunset in '70s, '80s, '90s ♪ >> greg: even though you saw it every year it made you cry. >> dana: loved it. >> andrea: it didn't make me cry. >> greg: you're a communist. >> andrea: it's a great story. santa made him the leader of the pack. he didn't susan the. >> dana: there is the land of the misfit toys. >> eric: i have alternate stories. this is the wussification america when rudolph is a problem. maybe frosty the snowman, maybe he gets the summer in the freezer. he doesn't melt. scrooge like bob isn't cranky. he just needs to take his medication and comes back more loveable. the little drummer boy isn't really an orphan. his parents are away at a global warming conference in l.a.

why not snow women? >> andrea: they don't want either one in the room. i don't understand why this is a big deal. santa claus is as secular as you can get. when people talk about santa claus, god forbid you talk about the birth of christ. now they are trying to run santa claus out. the reason, greg, if you look, the reason they do it is because they say there is a sikh population. why not celebrate the sikh's biggest holiday on may 1? it's a great holiday. they have a parade in new york. you get free food and drink. >> bob: there are parades in new york for every nationality. >> andrea: what is wrong with that? >> bob: do you notice about poinsettias they only last a day and fall apart. >> andrea: you don't water them. >> bob: they fall apart. >> eric: there are a few snow women in my neighborhood. every winter. >> dana: why is the poinsettia religious? >> andrea: it is. >> dana: in stockton, california, so the reason they want snowmen and snowflakes they don't get snow. so it's -- >> greg: that raises another point. why do we econsistently

elevate snow over other type of weather? we're discriminating against rain and sleet and hail. wind. what has wind got? >> bob: i don't want to discriminate against you but you are supposed to tease. >> bob: okay. coming up, if chris christie getting thin skinned over his thick waist? we'll play it next. or maybe we won't. we have haven't decided. it'd rather have bob read poetry aloud as i bathe in lilac water. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> dana: welcome back. governor chris christie is none too happy with the media's prejudice against pudgy people. >> there are people talking about that t idea of me running for president. you have had columnists in this newspaper writing that somebody who is overweight can't possibly be president. >> what did you think of that? >> it's idiotic. one of the guys like eugene robinson and michael kinsly and others wrote about because he is overweight means he is undisciplined. it is just one of those last remaining vestiges of prig disand stupidity.
