that is all time we have left on hannity this evening. thank you for being with us and shannon bream is up next. good night. is. >> shannon: tonight the gloves come off the iowa caucuses is one week away. two gop front runners are on the attack. gingrich calling romney a moderate. romney comparing gingrich comparing i love lucy chocolate fighting scene. one candidate is getting ready to drop out of the republican race. that candidate joins us live tonight. plus, what is next after iowa? new hampshire, of course, where jon huntsman is putting it on the line. he is also with us tonight. right now, it's anyone's game. more than half of the voters say they could still changes their minds. griff jenkins joins us with the latest. >> reporter: it's absolutely

anybody's game. things are changing here. there is really no other way to describe it other than to say the republican race for the presidential nomination has gone into full-blown campaign mode. all the candidates are scrambling crisscrossing the states on buses at rallies at townhalls and they are scrambling for the 120,000 republican caucus goers for a winning share come a week from tonight. in the ads $10 million being spent by the candidates and outside groups in just the last four weeks. biggest one is rick perry. attacks definitely getting vicious. gingrich not only accused romney of being a massachusetts moderate but also campaigning to the left of ted kennedy. mitt romney on a full campaign, did a speech in davenport, iowa tonight.

he has kept a low priel profile. ron paul continuing to a top the polls. michele bachmann and rick santorum appealing to the christian conservatives to get a bump. one thing has not changed, indecision among iowa voters, nearly half 45%, they have not decided who they will caucus for in just seven days. we went out to find out just how undecided they really are. >> iowa voter, rhonda, have you made up your mind? >> no, i really not. >> not completely. >> no, sir, i am undecided at this time. >> who are you going to support or are you undecided. polls show that half of you are? >> i am undecided at this point. >> i'll caucus for newt. >> i have not. >> you are undecided?

>> we are undecided. >> we're not fully decided. newt gingrich or ron paul. >> nobody right now that i would support. >> who did you decide? >> president obama. >> president obama, that is an interesting point. >> i'm undecided. >> i'm still undecided. >> i'm still undecided. >> i'm still undecided. >> is there one sort of issue, fiscal issue, social conservative issue or something that would get your support? >> no the candidate has to be able to fill a lot of different rolls. that is who i'm going to go with. >> is there an issue or something a candidate could say that would influence your support? >> no -- well i don't think there is anything one thing they

could say at this point. >> this is not typical. six candidates and narrowed in on one. but this year, it's been a rollercoaster. >> i teach elementary school. i am looking forward to somebody that supports education zbi want the two parties to work together. i'm really concerned about the lack of cohesiveness or unity within our representative bodies. it disturbs me a lot. >> now, as the negativity increases and perhaps the intensity of this campaign, let me come in how it's playing on the ground. i spoke with the gop poll county chairman, kevin mclaughlin, he says he is very upset to see this negativity rising with so few days left because he is worried it's going to hurt the

ultimate republican effort come next november. >> shannon: griff, you found on the 45%. griff jenkins live in iowa. >> newt gingrich hit with a new controversy has he launched his bus tour. new evidence has surfaced and it shows him praising romney's massachusetts healthcare law. that is the same law he was bashing on the campaign trail. it says it as potential to affect major change in the american health system. them in 2008 he defended the mandate again. >> i think you have to require everybody to have insurance or to post a bond, but the fastest growing section of the uninsured is people over $75,000 income who is making a calculated gamble if they get sick, you'll take care of them. i think that is just immoral. if you are well off, i don't think -- the truth is we're not going to let you die. i understand the argument if

somebody would rather run the risk of dying -- that is not going to happen. so what is going to happen, you are not going to take care of yourself. you will be in a motor accident or have a stroke, we're going to extraordinary measures to take care of you and you have no insurance and you try to avoid paying it. >> shannon: so will these revelations hurt his shot in iowa? paul singer joins us. >> thanks for having me. >> shannon: let's talk about the statements by newt. what he spoke in 2006. he didn't necessarily write it. that was like the explanation of ron paul about the letters that he wrote in 80s and 90s? >> think what newt has said it came up a couple months ago, well, i kheingd my mind. i thought the mandated was a good idea then i thought it

wasn't a good idea. gingrich has always been a bit of wandering intellectual in this sense. he has a lot of ideas. he speaks in a strong absolute and then he comes back and changes his mind. it makes for lousy politics but a great quote in the newspaper. i really enjoy it. >> shannon: he has accused romney care as being precursor what most folks refer to as obamacare. he not saying that as a positive. he is trying to link romney with president's healthcare law. now, we have evidence of him saying, he did support it? >> right. but he has been in public life for 30 years. a the one point it looks like supported nancy pelosi to curb global warming. >> he didn't. >> right. he didn't. at one point he was supporting the massachusetts healthcare law. now, he is saying he didn't.

i wouldn't argue, i really don't know, but as i said part of his problem he has a extraordinary public legacy of statements that are coming back to birte him. >> shannon: how much do you think it bothers voters, to adjust positions overtime. they have reconsidered things. where do they draw the line of seeing it that way or as a flip-flopper. what is opportune? >> my guy makes wise decisions because he has gotten good advice. virtually certain most of those are ron paul supporters. they are rarely undecided. they know where he stands. they know what he believes in. he's been saying it for 35 years. it may not mainstream or get him the nomination but people stand pretty closely to him. >> griff interviewed people and

people don't like negative ads and sometimes they work. >> they always work. if they didn't work, people wouldn't do them. i'm not going to negative. it was couple weeks ago that gingrich was saying, i'm not going negative ads but i will be able to use distinguishing ad that has defend me against the attack. i won't go negative but i will contrast my opponent with myself. lo and behold some is negative. >> a bit of semantics? >> right. >> shannon: he was making some surge polling to the top in iowa he is still doing well nationally. he has taken a bit of a hit in iowa. what do you attribute that to? was it allegations about what he wasn't doing lobbying for fannie mae and freddie mac. what do you think is hurting him? >> newt is an opposition researcher's dream. here a guy long legacy of making

explosive statements. for months he was largely ignored because they thought his campaign was going to fall apart. now, of course, he starts to ramp up and so does all the opposition research. >> shannon: you made the point about him being organized or not organized. he didn't qualify in virginia. do you think it would be shocking for him not to finish in the top three in iowa. what would it do to his campaign if it happens? >> i would be surprised if he is not in the top two or three in iowa just because the regulation of campaign recently. he attracted a lot of attention and got a lot of money on the ground. if he comes in fourth or fifth in iowa, it would be serious trouble particularly on the heels of the problem in virginia. it makes him look like a wounded candidate. if he finishes in the two or three, i'm in the top traoer and let's move on. if he doesn't, it strikes me as

difficult thing to recover from. >> shannon: thanks very much. congressman ron paul is leading the pack in the polls. how did he get there? supporters may not be who you would expect. byron york joins us now. you have interesting writings on this. tell us who is backing ron paul? >> a lot of them aren't republicans. most recent poll that pollster scott rasmussen released, mitt romney and gingrich lead among likely caucus goers who identify themselves as republicans. ron paul has a big lead who are not republicans. actually i found out 51% of ron paul supporters in iowa identify themselves as republicans meaning half of them don't. the numbers are quite similar for new hampshire as well. >> shannon: that seems to be

surprising half the people backing a gop contender don't identify themselves as republicans. he's done a successful job to reaching leaching out to moderates or independents? >> it's a little of both. there is disaffected independence and libertarians and perhaps democrats that legitimately supported ron paul. there are also especially in new hampshire with the voting rules there, there are democrats who are likely to take part and vote in the republican caucuses, vote for ron paul because he makes the ideologically extreme. then, of course, they will vote for president obama next november. there a little bit of mischief voting in new hampshire. >> shannon: let's talk about iowa. how does this voting work. how everything can change when you walk through the door. >> absolutely. the iowa republican party

requires caucus goers be registered republicans, but you can show up and register and vote right there. it's not something you have to do in advance. you don't have to have been a republican for any period of time. you can do it at at door. the problem with paul, could you say, gee, he attracting republicans and democrats, he is expanding the party. he has alienated a lot of republicans, as well. when they ask republican votersing, is there any candidate you wouldn't for, ron paul leads that category. at the same time he has attracted people who are not republicans he has turned off a number of people who are republicans. >> shannon: if all goes as expected at this point he should have a strong showing in iowa. after that, what do you think happens. i talked to a couple analysts last week, they think he will stay in the race for a long haul but he wants to release the delegates to the person that

deserves them? >> it doesn't look like he has a strong state after iowa. in new hampshire poll has romney at 46%. ron paul at 13% among republicans, he is 26% in new hampshire. still doesn't look like he will win or play second. south carolina is next and south carolina not ron paul territory. he is not polling well. he is a distant third there. same thing in florida. so it doesn't look like he has any big winning opportunity after iowa. >> shannon: i want to ask you about the new lawsuit filed by the rick perry campaign. he failed to make it on the primary ballot in virginia. have they filed a legal challenge? did they have any success with that? >> there are new rules in virginia, but everybody is looking at this and saying 2008, fred thompson campaign, they managed to get on the ballot. gingrich and perry haven't.

there not a lot sympathy right now. >> shannon: a lot of campaigns didn't try. did it make perry and gingrich like they are disorganized to some extent? >> it does. the we to iowa is having a lot of organization. many people are asking questions about their performance or readiness in iowa. certainly as far as virginia is concerned, newt gingrich lives in virginia and was not able to muster the 10,000 authenticated signatures that are necessary. it's another reminder after all the debates, soundbites, organization still matters in these campaigns. >> shannon: absolutely. byron, thank you so much. straight ahead, governor jon huntsman new hampshire loves an underdog but how do they claim to jump ahead in the race. governor huntsman goes on the record. another increase in the debt ceiling, president obama is

expected to ask for more than a trillion dollars. is that cause for alarm? big development in the gop race. it looks like someone is dropping out tomorrow, but you don't have to wait until to find out. that candidate is here live tonight. you don't want to miss it. [ male announcer ] you are a business pro. lord of the carry-on. sovereign of the security line. you never take an upgrade for granted. and you rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can en take a full-size or above. and still pay th mid-size price. i deserve this. [ male announcer ] you do, business pro. you do. go national. go like a pro.

>> shannon: right now all eyes are on iowa but jon huntsman are setting sights on new hampshire. he is in all all the way in new hampshire. i spoke with the governor just a short time ago. thank you for joining us, great to have you with us? >> glad to be with you. >> shannon: i have to ask you about iowa. earlier on it wasn't the place, you weren't going to spend a lot of time, any regrets? >> no regrets, nothing against the voters in iowa but i believe the iowa caucus will be soon forgotten and bright light will be on new hampshire which is the first primary state. i think because of that, it will establish a candidate or two or three, perhaps, as the most electable caped. they are responding well to our message. they carry about the two deficits, one economic and one

trust. we are driving home are hearing it out. we have 128 public events, more than anyone else. i think in the end we're going to prove correct that grassroots politics still matters. it's not just by twitter and facebook, about you have to have a message that resonates. our message is resonating. it's about nailing the economic deficit. when you get to 70% to 80% gdp, next generation is ship wrecked. plus we have a trust deficit, people don't trust institutions of power. they don't trust congress, executive branch or congress. we're going to talk about term limits for congress. closing that revolving door that allows members of congress to become lobbyists. we wonder why there is so little trust and so much cynicism

directed. we have crony capitalism alive and well on capitol hill. >> you have been taking your message across the state. how well do you need to finish there to be viable? >> we need to beat marketed expectations. the marketplace always assigns you some expectation, as if you were a stock. we have to do better than that. i'm going to el, we're going to do better than that. we were in zero and overtook ron paul in a couple polls. new hampshire loves an underdog. they don't like to be told to vote. they love an underdog that more over is working hard on the ground. we will be working while everybody is focusing on iowa. we have will the state for several days and spotlight will be around the 4th of january. >> shannon: because of your background. i would like to ask you issues

internationally. your decision not to list china as a currency manipulator. what do you think about that decision? >> they have appreciated their currency just probably under 5% this year. they are slowly appreciating their currency, it will never be at the speed we want or congress wants. it's being artificially manipulated. you have to -- in context. north korea, we're in talks with the chinese right now on north korea, iran you want to get more sanctions, you got to have their cooperation. pakistan, a hugely complex and sensitive relationship. you have to have china's cooperation or be in dialogue on regional security. when you approach all these issues, they are not just stand alone issues they relate to the relationship and you have to approach it as such. only remedy longer term in terms of getting them to rebalance their currency is to ensure

their rising entrepreneurial class which a significant force in chinese politics continues to put pressure on the government. they want a currency that is recognized internationally. they want a marketplace that is more open and viable. i remember living back in taiwan back in 1980s where they had range of problems similar to china this day and burial is class rose up and government listened to them like no one else. so i think the years ahead could be important and instructive years in terms of china becoming more compliant. currency that is more in balance with the marketplace. why? because they have to. they are going from export marketplace to consumer marketplace where a properly valued currency will be in their interests and they know it. they are holding back because they look at the world and they say, it's a little uncertain.

we wonder how fast we should get this done. >> there are a lot of complicated relationships, mention north carolina is in great transition. what do you expect going forward in the next few months? >> kim jong un, chairman of the funeral committee you are top dog. very little is known about him. he'll have work to solidify his power base. transition started about a year and a half go but kim jong-il is in no longer around. he has to stand with the central military commission that he has reliance. that probably hasn't been wrapped up fully. so the weeks ahead will be consolidation of power for him. i don't see a good outcome. either you have status quo

prevail, he ends up consolidating power and you have most reckless dangerous dictatorship on the face of the earth. or you have something less good, a failed nation state, he doesn't consolidated power and run on him by the military or the party you have a collapse of the nation state. you've got millions of people who would flow into china putting enormous pressure on china's economy. you would have problem with nuclear weapons which would be an international crisis. you'd have a large chunk of the international marketplace, northeast asia which combined is 20% of the world's gdp when you look at japan and russia and south korea, very important market for the united states. our exports there. we create jobs, they invest in it's. when you have reckless regime as

north korea it stops commerce, when commerce is impeded that place right back plays back to our own economy. we can't get our products through. important for the united states to maintain a dialogue with our allies, south korea and japan, no blue sky with what we're doing and maintain a deep dialogue with russia and china because they have interests, as well. they also want security. we want trade to prevail and number two we want to make sure there are no loose nuclear weapons. >> shannon: absolutely. >> great to be with you. >> shannon: coming up, it's not over yet. president obama set to ask for a debt ceiling increase. are we headed for not show down on capitol hill. also big news, looks like the gop presidential field is about to get smaller. one candidate is expected to

drop out. that contained joins us right here live, next.

>> shannon: debt crisis isn't over. president obama will ask congress to raise the nation's borrowing limit again. this time he'll ask for $1.2 trillion raise, third and final increase from a deal reached last summer. what if anything s to rein in

the debt now. thank you so much for coming in. we forgot about this, the deal was hammered out in august but this is third part of the money the president can ask for now? >> it caught people a little surprise on capitol hill and elsewhere. as you mentioned this is $1.2 trillion that was called for as august debt ceiling deal. it will likely go off without a hitch. the only question is whether lawmakers in the had house and senate are coming back to washington in to make their approval on this. that was part of the august debt deal. it gives lawmakers to be on the record to oppose this increase which many of them on both sides. it wouldn't actually result of debt ceiling being raised.

it would require two-thirds vote in both chambers. so the house doesn't come back in january 17th. senate isn't until january 23rd so it's up to them do they want to call members back to put their no on this. >> shannon: it would have to be 15 days after president makes his formal request. we understand it's going to come any time now. so which as you said allows them to be on record saying, this is going to move forward without us but we didn't want it. >> i think the fact that this comes to this now, you're not sure this approval vote is happening, is a sign the debate has change in the past couple months. in june, july and august it was the top issue on the hill. and they were saying we need to tackle the debt. then you had the balanced budget

amendment vote, neither of those passed. that was part of the debt deal. basically the conversation has shifted so much away from the debt and debt ceiling and away from the super committee. now it's towards jobs and payroll tax cuts. if the resolution doesn't happen next month, it will be another continuation of how the conversation is shifting. >> shannon: who is on watch now? there was a lot of discussion on reining in the debt. is there anybody staging a fight. is there still leading the charge we need to get this under control? >> this is a pivotal year for any deficit reduction effort. you've got the gang of six in the senate, one of the their members is retiring next year a lot of other members are wondering what are they going to do right now. they haven't made any specific legislation.

even though they are calling for some $4 trillion range which is previous debt commissions has recommended there is no legislation to go along with that. it's hard to say right now if there is any genuine effort of dealing with it this year. it looks like with the election coming up so quickly and with people focused on millionaire is your tax 1st other ways of paying for the payroll tax cut, the debt has sort of gotten lost in the conversation. there is not really a moment that lawmakers will seize in order to tackle it. >> shannon: we'll see if $1.2 trillion goes through. great to see you. all right, now a big development in the presidential primary race. we've been telling you about it all night. we're getting word there will be a shakeup. let's talk to gary johnson about that.

governor, thank you for joining us. you have a big announcement. what can you tell us tonight? >> i can tell you i'm contemplating leaving the republican party for the libertarian party. the notion is i think most of america is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. that is painting with a broad brush. the notion of balancing the federal budget now. the noton of reducing welfare and warfare both. biggest growing segment of american politics is independents and the declining state. i'm holding a press conference about potentially running as a libertarian where i would be on the ballot. by the way, that is no done deal. that is the contest, there are eight candidates running for the libertarian nomination. if i were to get that nomination i would be on the ballot in all

50 states during the general election which keeps the message alive and message again gets back to getting our fiscal house in in order. i'm proposing enacting a fair tax which reboots the american economy for the next hundred years. really reducing spending more than anything. less government is better government. best government is government that empowers you and i to make choices that only and i should make. >> shannon: what led to your decision to ultimately lead the gop field, if that is, indeed, what you announce tomorrow? why the break for you? >> for me it's been about the message. i think i'm delivering somewhat the same message as ron paul but we're two different messages what arguably is the same message. when people hear it from many different sources, that is when people start to hear it. in this case, this is hearing

about a government that isn't going to collapse. balance the federal budget. stop the spending. i think we're going to experience a monetary collapse because of all the money that we're printing. we don't have a sound u.s. dollar at all. we could. we can do this, but it's got to be done now. i don't think it's an issue we can hand off to our kids or grandkids. it's here and now and we have to deal with it. >> how do you respond to the criticism from some republicans if you or another person with your level of prominence leaves the primary, enters as a third party candidate that you are essentially going to aid the white house and president obama and hurt whoever the gop nominee is? >> it could be the other way, too. it could be disgruntled democrats that are fed up with the fact we still have foreign entanglements from the military

standpoint. we're absolutely broke. the notion there should be gay rights, should be gay marriage equality. notion of gay rights, gun rights and the drug war. i don't hear anybody talking about build a fence, deal with border violence by addressing the prohibition of drugs, legalizing marijuana, these are issues that are not being addressed by either party. both parties -- look, i share in the outrage of occupy wall street. this country is for sale. both parties sell it. politicians with hair than those out to collect money to pass this or that loophole. enacting the fair tax issues the pink slip to half the lobbyists that exist right now in washington, d.c. these are problems that can be addressed but neither party,

neither republicans nor democrats want to seem to address them. they want to see be status quo which is just big government. >> shannon: all right. governor johnson we will tune in and learn more from your big announcement. thanks for giving us a preview. >> shannon, thank you. >> shannon: coming up, skeletons in the closet that can haunt any candidate's campaign. how much does personal history really matter to voters? we go to college students what they think. and from talking babies to talking dogs. you've seen it all on youtube. which are your favorites.

history may not be conducive to someone you want may not to be that standard. it's questionable, that is something to consider. >> i have to agree. it definitely brings the person's integrity to the forefront. while candidate gingrich does have some very good ideas and policy, i do agree with, i think that voters more conservative voters will go with a mitt romney who has been keeping low key. i think that is the kind of person that real voters will more go for. so unfortunately some of the good ideas gingrich has will not come to fruition, you have a candidate that laying low, mitt romney would overcome gingrich because of the issues as well. >> greta: do you admire politicians your age group?

or if if they are politically hypocrites. what is your view of politicians today? >> i don't think it's a matter of we can't see through the smoke and mirrors. i think we see and understand, especially a lot of us very much interested in politics. the problem becomes the small sound bites, messages we're taking america back. mitt romney was cited as saying president obama doesn't understand america and he goes into this rhetoric of laisse faire and people should take those opportunities and that is why. lower class individuals and poor people where they are. i don't think mitt romney understands that. it's very diverse mir glad of personalities and experiences in america.

think president obama has done his best to try to represent that. to put forth and image or idea that you are something and your constituent base is one idea puts individuals outside of that process. i am american. i am a part of america, but i don't necessarily share the experience. he has to see if he wants our vote, hey, we are america, too. we are facing structural issues and other things that prevent us from rising out of a certain economic situation. >> greta: how is the media covering the race? one is the candidates and doing the job for the voters. >> i don't like we are a sound bite society. we want to turn on the news and get two minutes and understand everything about politics. i think politics has become

increasingly polarized and to accurately understand the issues you need a lot more than two minutes. i don't necessarily blame it on the media. i think they could do a lot better, but i think it's society in general. society's expectations. >> greta: are the candidates doing it? >> i think they are when they only have two minutes to say something. they are doing the best they can so they don't attack each other in those two minutes. >> talking about obama for 20 minutes. >> simply remain on the bullet points. i really wish i could see in all of the candidates that they understand the issues. they have their own poise and they know why the policy should

be enacted and actually being passed, to remember my second point and third point. i want to see the passion or something their campaign manager has drafted up for them, they have researched themselves and know is this really going to work? is this going to save our economy? is this going to help the middle east? what needs to be done and this is what i'm going to do not because my campaign manager told me to say it. >> greta: at the risk of being banned from iowa, do you have any problem with iowa getting the first bite of this in the process? >> as long as new hampshire is second. >> i think iowa is a great state high but one state have so much power and access to the candidates year after year. some reform needs to be done now

we nominate our presidential candidates. >> do you want to go back to iowa or go there or willing something else? >> i think it's odd one of states that is least representative nation. it's demographically speaking at least and they get the first shot. they have the most important role so to speak in that. >> i mean i think that i not disagree with iowans. but in iowa there is the issue of farm subsidies, always coming up in congress, ethanol subsidies and all that. to have the first primary state be a huge issue and major focus, that deviates from many other aspects. it goes back to the demographics. it doesn't qualify for every aspect of the country. i can promise you iowa doesn't really or someone like south carolina doesn't care about farm

subsidies as someone does in iowa. that ends up being a massive issue for the first state. >> shannon: our special series continues tomorrow newt. that is tomorrow night on the record. straight ahead, caught on camera, a giant snake goes for a swim in a family pool. how did they get the beast out of there? also, what would you do if you found $10,000? a las vegas tourist has a big decision to make and what are the odds he does the right thing? and top videos of 2011, find out if it's the perfect time to find great deals on the 4g lte devices you love. like the droid bionic by motorola for $199.99. or the pantech breakout for $49.99. our lowest price ever. get the technology you love, on the network you deserve.
