i am bill o'reilly. please remember that the spin stops right here. because we are definitely looking out for you. captioned by closed captioning services, inc ♪ ♪ i'll release a letter to my staff indicating that our determination to run a positive campaign. >> so will the speaker abandon his plans now that team romney opened up an all-out assault on the govern front runner? juan williams is here with reaction. plus in a stunning interview, the anointed one claims that his administration bears no responsibility at all for the failing economy. plus, more fall-out over ann coulter comments from last night's show. >> the two most conservative candidates who are still standing now are michelle

bachmann and mitt romney. >> michelle is here to break it down. we are on the road to 2012. "hannity" starts right here, right now. >> sean: on the eve of the biggest debate of this primary season. tomorrow night in iowa, we will be there. the republican presidential candidate will collide on the fox news channel. and ahead of that all-important showdown, new polls are shaking up the g.o.p. field. and they are showing us just how volatile this, well, nomination race really is. first, we begin with the view from a nationwide poll where according to the "wall street journal," nbc news, former house speaker newt gingrich leads mitt romney by a stunning 17 points. they are followed by ron paul, michele bachmann, rick perry and jon huntsman. but the story on the ground, in iowa, very different. in a survey conducted by the left leaning public policy polling group. speaker gingrich is leading by only one percentage point and surging now to the second place is congressman ron paul with 21% of the vote. they are followed by mitt romney. michele bachmann, rick perry

and rick santorum. joining me now in studio with the take on all the latest developments in 2012 race, the author of the best seller book of man, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, friend of the program, bill bennett. last time i called you bob. i thought you'd kill me. >> i don't get his rate either. impressive. >> sean: that is true. good to see you again. what do you make of ron paul? >> can i tell one story? >> sean: absolutely. >> on the ground in iowa, as you say, there is a place, you may know the story but i got profiled the "book of man." there is a huge rock in menlo, iowa. it used to be used for graffiti. in the late '90s, ray sorenson started to paint patriotic pictures on it, marines putting up the flag. this year he did the navy seals -- >> sean: i notice the marine pen on your la pel there. >> we have a young son. second lieutenant marine corps, very proud. nobody touches the rock anymore because of the patriotic pictures. that is the stuff from iowa.

that is whey hope we'll come to see from the citizens of iowa. what i make is i think ron paul could win this. because of organizations he has put it all in to it. he could win this. i think it's very possible that with perry coming on a little bit, everybody says perry is coming on a little bit. it's tightening between romney and gingrich that paul slips in with 22, 23%. >> sean: look, paul's followers are passionate. >> absolutely. >> sean: all the candidates received scrutiny. the lateest to get the most scrutiny is newt gingrich who has been surging in the poll. romney has had a chance, bachmann, perry, we know what happened to herman cain. one of the things, for example, we'll say i cut trillion dollars immediately. i do not -- i cannot reconcile with the foreign policy. >> there is none. >> sean: but did he get a pass? he had a news letter in '80s and '90s and unbelievable things written in it.

ordered was only restored in l.a. when it was time for blacks to pick up a welfare check. this was in his newsletter. he said he had no idea who put the newsletter together. no idea who wrote it. he said, sort of, i'm surprised when i read this, this is not an issue. >> there is a way he is not taken seriously. so people do not delve in details. but they should. i had a caller today say make him head of the federal reserve and be done with it. there is no foreign policy. no commander in chief. his notion of foreign policy is impossible. there is also other stuff. conspiracy theories about 9/11, so on. the candidacy isn't going anywhere. except if he wins iowa, the reason it's important. he may get a big hit and decide after several more states to be a third party candidate. >> if ron paul does that, splits the anti-obama vote.

>> he hopes that the other guys is like barack obama. big government. >> sean: he called me rush limbaugh and status. >> if you're status, we have a problem. >> sean: i have been called a lot of things. >> sean: when you look at newt and romney. romney is winning in new hampshire. newt winning in south carolina and florida. >> i think newt may well finish ahead of romney in iowa. i think iowa finish ahead of newt in new hampshire. taking the big picture, remember what we want this selection to be about? we want it to be about big issues. big question, the question before the country right now.

what barack obama has done to the country. we have don't want it to be about personalities. >> it is getting personal. we saw it in saturday night debate. i expect tomorrow night right here. it will be explosive. >> it will be rough. very rough. when we get to the general. the biggest weakness that newt have, we don't want general to be about his idiosyncracies whether the new or old newt. there will be endless stories. i like newt. fountain of ideas. but i also think it will be about him. i also don't think he can beat barack obama. i wish mitt romney had a better conservative history, a better record. right now she a better candidate. >> sean: you are endorsing romney? >> i'm not endorsing romney. >> sean: your analysis is romney should be the nominee? >> i think rick santorum is probably the closeest to my views and actually jon

huntsman when it comes to the economy has the most conservative economic policy. national review had an editorial where they said the same thing. as you match up with barack obama, you tell me it defeats barack obama and i probably will. >> let me ask you this. you are critical of newt. what do you fear? you work for a guy by name of ronald reagan. reagan wasn't leading in the polls until september of 1980. when he won election against jimmy carter. winning against somebody with not bad a record of obama. helped balance budget, get surpluses welfare as we know it. welfare reform. what do you fear? do you not think he changed. >> that is correct. >> sean: you don't think he has changed? >> he has changed some. good grandfather and respect he is a faithful husband. the idiosyncracy of the idea, grandiosity of the idea. the accusation of romney. they both do it, the accusation of romney about

bain capital, they would destroy -- >> sean: i asked him. he said -- that is what he said. i played it for him. but he said he is not going to fall in that trap. he will go positive and healthy and sucked in because he was attacked by romney. >> he has had more ideas in a day than most have in their lifetime but a lot of them don't touch the ground. they're grandiose. i have known newt very well for a long time. newt has to be the smartest guy in the room. it's very important to him. george washington didn't have to be. ronald reagan didn't have to be a family. newt has to be. the election is about newt. newt as a candidate. that is my worry. not about the big ideas. not about what barack obama does. >> sean: sate worry? obviously the polls are significant. if he gets the nomination, do you think he has the potential to be a good president, a great president? >> yes. since almost everybody there has potential to do that.

i have to base it on the guy i know and i like. pull of ideas but a lot of ideas don't make sense. >> sean: what ideas don't you like? >> the pelosi thing he wants to disown. >> sean: that was stupid. >> attack on romney. a lot of his stuff, the business of attacking paul ryan. almost unforgivable. he now says that is a mistake. the other day, i think actually i was right the first time. there is an inconsistentsy there that is troubling. we want a steadiness. >> sean: is that also one of the main charge against mitt? >> yes, it is one of the main charges against mitt. the main charge against mitt, not so much in inconsistency as insufficiency. insufficient conservatism.

it's a center right country. put someone up there who is going to beat barack obama and where the campaign will be on the issue >> sean: i think the process is healthy. the american people have followed it. made adjustments. tomorrow is a big night. it will carry through the christmas holidays and ride to caucuses. >> people will take a big hard look. they will give it scrutiny. sunlight a disinfeck tant. >> sean: i love the "book of man." great book. merry christmas to you. coming upe, we have the romney campaign ad video that links gingrich to nancy pelosi and a gore. so will the attack force speaker gingrich to go back on his pledge? a good run on a positive campaign. we check in with juan williams and ann coulter made news on the program last night as she doubled down on support of

>> sean: newt gingrich pledged to run positive campaign, free of negative advertising but not all candidates share that sentment. mitt romney had scathing words for gingrich in a recent interview with the "washington post" calling him, "an extraordinarily unreliable leader in the conservative world. not 16 or 17 years ago but in the last two to three years." he went on to blast him for the global warming ad he filmed in 2008 with speaker of the house nancy pelosi. despite the fact that gingrich called that decision "the dumbest single thing i've done in years," the romney campaign launched a new website, newtandnancy.com. here with reaction is the awe for of "muzzled." juan williams. hello, sir. huh are you? >> good to see you. merry christmas, sean. >> sean: merry christmas. why is this a bad idea to ask a liberal democrat who you think the nominee should be? you're not exactly objective. >> i'm objective. because i'm a fox news political analyst. that is my job. i tell you, it depends on your

criteria. if you are looking for somebody to beat obama, which is what bill bennett was just talking to you about, then you have to say right now it's romney. just look at the poll numbers. he does better against obama than gingrich does. the story, and this picks up on what you were talking about, the republican establishment has come out with long knives and a trying to absolutely carve up newt gingrich in advance of the iowa caucus. that is what is going on in the polls. where we see newt's numbers moderating some. had a "wall street journal" journal poll, up by 17. others show him going down from where he was a week ago. it's interesting. romney is not getting anymore support be. you see santorum, bachmann, people who are social conservatives, benefiting a little bit. that's good for romney. >> sean: i will tell you, i have pointed this out for a long time, there is an establishment mentality. i got to tell you, they are all saying the same thing. the global warming ad, i asked newt about it. he said it was stupid.

paul ryan said as a friend of mine, i apologize, trying to make a larger point. there is nuance here. he is too undisciplined but he hasn't made outside of the beginning of the campaign, he hasn't made too many mistakes in this campaign. people have been predicting it. then, of course, you know, mitt romney. flip-flops. romneycare. we have both sides that are going to have weaknesses. there is one other point here. it doesn't matter who the candidate is. your guy, your team, barack obama, the democrats, they are going to spend $1 billion smearing whoever it is. does it matter in the end? >> sure it does. you have don't want the election to be about your guy. you want the election to be about obama. you want to bring out all the critique and the fact if you look at polls right now, obama's approval numbers are mid-40s. if you ask the american people should he be re-elected he is not doing that well. you have want it to be about that. you don't want it to be about any flaws in the republican candidate. but right now, if you ask

republicans about that republican field, unlike you, most republicans they all -- >> sean: there are two polls out. one was almost identical we ran on the program yesterday. another poll out today that had romney doing better against obama than gingrich did. the establishment step steps ind all it seems to be doing is angering and kicking off the base because they have a candidate shoved down their throat. >> that is interesting to hear from you. bill bennett and people like you, i wonder if people say we don't want to hear from the republican establishment. john mccain and dole. we have want to make our decision because we want the most conservative candidate and take the fight, the fire

to barack obama. we don't see that in romney. >> liberals said they'd scare the country about reagan. they said his economic policies would lead to the next depression. one of the greatest president in our lifetime. liberals quote him with reverence. it seems to me to be a snapshot view by people that have for whatever reason, invest in one candidate or another. i have not made up my mind in this race. >> tomorrow ninety you have a good shot. this is the conservative debate. what you will see from the romney camp is an attempt to say to people who haven't made up their mind, you are being fooled if you think that newt gingrich is a real conservative. they will say he is not trustworthy, that he is not reliable. never been a conservative. nancy pelosi ad, he has been playing footsy with al gore and doing deals with bill clinton. running around with al

sharpton. that comes from bachmann, santorum, some will say he is romney. >> sean: let it fly. on the other hand, for example, i don't want to hear about romneycare anymore. i got his answer, i understand it. he gets the nomination, i will strongly support him. i don't want to hear about the flip-flops. i asked him about them 15 times and i'm sick of the question. the question here is who is going to decide this. does the establishment think they can influence tea party members and is there not a subtle campaign -- i think there is -- i know every candidate strength and weaknesss. you know them. we can cite them verse and chapter. it's not going to be anybody but the voters that decide. they are making mistake. getting people angry. >> i think that is news. right now, if you look at the poll and the professionals

talk about it on the republican side, they say this attack, not reliable, problems with the personal life newt. that is starting to bring gingrich number back to earth. we are not sure about it yet. the question can it continue to happen? has newt hit the high point and will he sink going to january 3. >> he has done a good job not giving everybody what they want. we'll see. tomorrow is a big night. >> you get back to ad you started the segment but he is bombarded with ads. get into his personal life. they will go there and go after the conservatism.

it will get nasty. >> sean: it is, like bill clinton saying they played the race card on me talking about obama camp. that was nasty then, too. >> i remember. >> sean: am i going to see you tomorrow night? >> i'll be here in washington. see me right afterwards, before you come on. >> all right. great before you take my time. go ahead. see if i care. >> stop. >> sean: steal "hannity" time. great. thanks for being with us, juan williams. coming up, one of the most outrageous claims to date, you never guess what president obama is refusing to take responsibility for now. when we come back, monica crowley, and sandra smith. that's next. and we have predictions straight ahead. my doctor told me calcium

automation, you had a lot of manufacturerring move out of the united states. >> does the president not realize yet he can't keep trying to blame the disappointing, unemployment rate on george bush, atm, i can osk, tsunami, earthquake, the american people being soft and lazy? here with the analysis, radio talk show host monica crawl crawl. from the fox business network, sandra smith. this is pathetic. he gets everything he wants. every single solitaire thing this guy wanted he got passed. >> remember harry truman had a sign on his desk -- >> sean: the buck stops here. >> with obama the buck stops everywhere but with him. he has played the victim 24/7 since he entered the office. we shouldn't be surprised he is avoiding responsibility now. >> sean: he said i have no idea -- i understood it was bad but i didn't think it was that bad. he said in the lead-up to the

election, the worst economic crisis since the great depression. what part of his own words didn't he understand? >> yeah, the big part is i don't think that people will buy it anymore. we have seen the polls show americans don't buy the message. we sit at home and hear them say things and know we get more of the same. guess what? it's no longer what he inherited but how he responded to it. he made the situation worse. i use business confidence as an example of that. this economy is going nowhere unless the businesses want to hire. business confidence is still at record lows. it's not budged. he has created an environment with the policies where businesses are not comfortable. it's more uncertain than it was when he came in office. >> sean: i was busier earlier tonight and i just check my e-mail. it had another show i had to tape. all of a sudden i get the flood of e-mails coming in the e-mail box. national review is saying notnut is what they are

saying. i got to tell you the anger among strong powerful, smart, influential conservatives is palpable. they are furious that newt gingrich sat with nancy pelosi. newt gingrich did criticize paul ryan. we know the strength and weaknesss. romney had it, too. so did every other candidate. what is angering people the guys think this elite group of establishment type say they can tell the tea party and conservatives in this country that is conservative, real conservative can't win. they will be beaten up. is there a backlash to this? >> i think you are on to something. i think about this in the last two days. it is a black lash effect. the tea party folks, the regular conservatives in america. they are looking at the establishment republicans and saying wait a minute, if they like this guy, i shouldn't like this guy. or if they are criticizing an a

person. the question of the entire election next year is what is the proper role of government. we have seen the answer to that. this election should be about barack obama and his record. i don't care if the republicans put up lassie. if they make this case, they can win with the dogs. >> sean: wow! >> sandra, can you top that. >> ann coulter said she would vote for jeffrey dahlmer last night on the program. she was kidding. >> listen, he is sending clear messages to the signal. if we vote for president obama again, it will be more government. more spending. it put us in a dire situation we're in. we saw the markets today, selling off. >> sean: what do you think of this?

>> er withiting this tipping point at the end of the year, embarking on election year these are unprecedented times. the market, everybody is stepping back saying do we want to be in? >> when obama doesn't responsibility there is enough there in the records when i joke about republicans can run in and if they focus on it, look at the record. you have class warfare, wealth redistribution, unprecedented spending and record-breaking deficit and debt. socialized medicine and u.s.-- >> sean: president that takes no responsibility. on the seek, destroy, besmirch, slander campaign. did you hear barbara boxer says 8100 americans are going to die because -- not one 8101. it's 8,100, the exact number of americans that will die, we

want dirty air and dirty water and children with dawn syndrome to fend for themselves. they are not just imposing but attacking conservatives. >> with the payroll tax cut et cetera, people don't want president obama to take responsibility but they want to see him lead. >> sean: he fail and he failed miserably. >> the republicans need to keep focus on him and his abysmal record. the left wing media will do everything they can to keep the focus on whoever the republicans nominate. the election is not about the republican candidate. it's about obama. >> sean: whoever gets this

nomination will face billion dollars of smear ad. they have surrogates, by the time they are done with him you think the republicans safe >> the union, kids, college campus, leftist. we have a huge onslaught. >> sean: mr. hope and change will go more negative. >> what good is that if everybody is still out of work, home values are nothing? >> exactly. it won't work. people say you failed, mr. president. >> but they are not to be underestimated. >> i agree with that. >> play dirty. >> i'm on the case. i have a special project i'm working on. media matters is interested in it. we'll come back. still ahead -- ann coulter says mitt romney is more conservative than newt gingrich. coming up next, i ask conservative columnist michelle malkah is if she agrees with that. and the great, great, great american panel. straight ahead. ♪

immense respect for staff there and people who have been in the fight for conservative. and conservative policies, for a long, long time. they deserve respect. this is ridiculous to call people establishment who have been outside the establishment for a long time. even if you are in washington, you may not be of washington. we can disagree about the candidates. i am not on anyone's team. that puts us, you and i in a unique position. the only team -- >> sean: i tell you what i read and people tell me. we know the strength and weaknesses of the candidate. it asked romney about romneycare. i asked about the nancy pelosi issue. i asked about the personal life. we asked if he should be discipline. i asked the questions of the guys.

they have been asked to death. there is so much scrutiny, the democrats get a pass. then the fear begins. they're too flawed. but the most flawed person in this case is barack obama. it gets frustrated to me to see the in-fighting and the nitpicking on the guys. >> i understand your frustration but i don't think it's nitpicking to look at each and ercandidate -- >> sean: you are misunderstanding me. >> no, i'm not. >> sean: there comes a point. >> i think you're frustrated, sean. it understand that. >> sean: they all have strength and weaknesses is what i'm saying. >> i am saying i think it's important toddling up mitt romney statements when he describes himself as a progressive several years ago.

justs important to talk about newt gingrich actions to talk about progressivism and in some cases uncontrolled sense of narcissism. look, the seahawks, wh tea parta party? national review and washington republicans don't like newt gingrich, a lot of tea party don't either. they have not forgiven him for the new york 23 misjudgment. the smears of the grass root conservative to -- >> sean: let me put this in another way. >> the big labor rhino in new york. >> sean:ly concede. there is not the perfect candidate. but this is our slate of candidates. at the end of the day, michelle, i looked at all of their strengths, all of their weaknesses and all of the candidates are infinitely better than the disaster we have in washington today.

there is a canture, to use your term, culture of corruption, a culture of conservatives they are not happy until they each their own and spit them out and say they won't vote for the other one. at one point they have to realize there is one winner this. not the establishment decide bug the people in this country that are republican that vote in the primary that decide. i don't think any one endorse element matt they're much. >> i agree. it's all common sense you are talking about. this is the primary process. there is nothing new here. nothing unprecedented about the republican candidates going after each other. >> sean: i agree. healthy. >> for the general election battle. it is healthy. >> sean: healthy to a point. then it gets to be unhealthy and counter productive. and i think the word of republicans we should come back in the general campaign used by obama. >> i think that the unhealthiest thing would be to

whitewash the flaws. >> i'm not talking about whitewashing anything. >> go on the wagon and unhealthy to pretend that the candidates are something they are not. >> sean: all right. let them pummel each other and forget who the real person that needs to be defeated here. it comes a point a fine line distinction and we make a big mistake. got to run. good to see you. >> you bet. >> sean: appreciate it. time to check in with greta. she has the big interview today. you got to hang out with rushbo all day. how was that? >> greta: fascinating interview. we'll air it soon. day from hell. first question, got there and we blew out rush's power while he was on radio setting up the equipment. he was a good sport, only happened one other time. unfortunately that other time was when fox was there. we're 2-0. >> sean: oh, no. >> greta: then we got back to the national airport and they wouldn't let us off the plane. jetway was broken. then nine or ten f.b.i. agents stormed the plane and helds through and someone was arrested. great interview. we're a little bit, little bit

2012. we want to see the current administration, over and done -- >> sean: you agree with him? >> i totally agree with him. >> you're romney? >> absolutely. >> romney, it's all about winning. as a fundraiser, i can tell you right now romney's camp is tight. they have a tight campaign and money that has been with them for a long time. newt doesn't have the financial backing. he hasn't been high on the polls enough to get where romney will be. >> i am for excitement. let's let them bang heads. exchange ideas. see who comes out of the process. i don't want to shut the door on anybody yet. >> sean: i don't believe you can tell me any of them can't beat obama. i don't buy the narrative. it's just spun. certain people decide this is my candidate, now we destroy the other candidate. gingrich would slaughter obama in a debate. i think he would look silly and obama would be scared to

death to debate him. he would try to get him to do the lincoln douglas debate. a track record, imperfect. absolutely. he balanced the budget, gave us surplus and welfare reform. >> he will be debating in the obama and media at the same time. >> the muttonhead who cares about the buffalo pills and the miami dolphins face down in doritos keeping up with kardashian. that is who matters. in october. >> you are on a roll. >> they look up and see newt gingrich, this angry looking dude against president obama. i know, who killed usama bin laden. that is what matters. >> do you think the country would be impressed with newt's intellect? if he were to keep the same tone he has and establishment.

>> we agree he the smartest guy in the panel. people need excitement. they want to know so someone going to signal change in country? and do something. >> gingrich is looking that way. do we know this? i like the change of ideas. it's good for the country. >> maybe it's because i am so close to it. frankly, i'm to the point i have had it with the, you know, the obama gets a pass on everything. in 1972 you were little and you did this. >> i have an opposite opinion. i think newt gingrich will be so gloaty, he is the brain in race. it will backfire on him by being con descending to obama. i think a lot of people might

feel sorry for obama. >> sean: i think you are underestimating newt's intellect. we will continue with the great, great, great american panel. bernard mcguirk is filling in on the radio show with me. >> maybe somebody comes to their senses in the meantime. >> sean: we'll continue. what in is non-stop to seattle? just carry preparation h totables. discreet, little tubes packed with big relief. from the brand doctors recommend most by name. preparation h totables. the anywhere preparation h. my dis best absorbedlcium in small continuous amounts. only one calcium supplement does that in one daily dose. citracal slow release... continuously releases calcium plus d for the efficient absorption my body needs. citracal.

>> you don't have an answer. >> i don't have an answer. >> i'm happy to watch tomorrow night. >> huge. >> great. >> get dir rit toes out. >> yeah. >> where are the mutton heads. i saw a few outside. >> sean: i like to watch football. >> the hard core, the sports radio people not paying attention. when they look up at october, watching the view, john stewart. and newt gingrich will be savageed. >> any republican is going to be beaten to death. >> when they say i'm a muttonhead and i'm underemployed and i eat doritos. then they see newt gingrich or mitt romney, they say okay, tough guy. >> obama plays class warfare

card well. he will appeal to these people. gingrich will be defending instead of talking about -- hi won't do a pipeline. >> whatever happened to i was washing dishes at 12. they didn't have a dishwasher machine in the restaurant. >> you may be right but it's spun in a way -- >> sean: sorry, i asked. >> it changes the conversation from panel bam weaknesses, no job, to pipeline. you won't let a pipeline be built? >> i take cleaning toilets over obamacare. >> me, too. >> i think the republican party has done a bad job to define who we are. the democratic party -- >> sean: i'll make a prediction. tomorrow night's debate will have a huge impact on iowa. ron paul is now in second place. how did ron paul get away with the newsletter of his with incredible things written in them and nobody scrutinizes him? >> a lot of
