, the president and ceo of forbes ing, and a former presidential candidate. thank you both. i cannot think of two men better to try and explain to me what to make of the downgrading of the u.s. government's credit rating. let's start with you, steve. >> i think in a narrow sense, it's a political move, and i think it will sound strange for me to say an outrageous move. the government is legally aub lay gatd to pay its debts, and a larger sense about the economy, i think the u.s. economy is in a paralus state. i am surprised s&p would play politics, and the u.s. government can pay the interest and principle on the bounds, but we do have severe economic troubles but will be able to pay the interest and the principle on the bounds. >> larry, i will have to believe you will agree with him, because i hushd this weekend from a number of administrative officials pushing back hard against this, and talking about how immaturish it was talking about how s&p was looking for its 15 minutes of fame. give me your take on why you think s&p did this and do you agree with tha

president forbes, no. i think that only takes you so far, but that is an odd phrasing, isn't, inadequate to his needs as if of course we all need more than a 3,000 square foot sea front mansion, we all need more than that. >> how do you think that a line like that -- you're from orangeburg, south carolina, how is the full thurston going to play in south carolina? if this is deliberate and this isn't just sort of gaffe -- a multiplied gaffe now compounded by the campaign, if they are really doing this, can you imagine, he's going to have to deal with the south carolina electorate sooner rather than later. >> he is, i don't think it will play particularly well in south carolina and he has to deal with that electorate. he's not going to win iowa, he's going to perhaps win new hampshire, then you get to south carolina which has a record of choosing the eventual nominee, he does well there, and the heavily republican sort of rock-ribbed parts of the state, they don't have even 3,000 square foot seaside mansions

earlier on "state of the union" i spoke with forbes chairman steve forbes and former obama adviser larry who despite differences both agree they see politics in s&p's move. >> it is a political move and i think it's really -- it will sound strange for me to say it -- an outrageous move. the government can pay its debts. it's got the wherewithal to do it. in a larger sense about the economy, i think the u.s. economy is in a perilous state. this recovery has been the worst from a severe recession since the great depression. i'm surprised s&p would pay politics. >> s&p's track record has been terrible. as we've seen this weekend, its arithmetic is worse. there's nothing good to see about what they've done. s&p said to sell. warren buffett said to buy. that should tell you something. >> you can see my entire interview with summers and forbes at noon eastern here on cnn. >>> syrian troops have reportedly targeted the city of dara sore ray in an escalating crackdown on anti-government protesters. the arab leagued urged them to halt the violence. >>> four nato soldiers were killed in eastern an

yes, steve forbes made a very succinct statement. and he's exactly right.ow the tricks that the federal reserve is up to, in their toolbox. my thing about inflation, we know inflation is going on out there in real america. you know, crisis of lumber, hardware, your grocery store and so forth. but what i want in particular is -- so what if we have a little deflation? so what if the dollar is strengthened? and now people go to work. they're more apt to save and put money in the bank. think about putting money in the bank today. you're getting a negative return on your principle. so you really -- you know, that's for each and every american by the hands of the federal chairman. he knows we're getting a negative return rate on our savings. and yet he's on this, you know, dropping more and more money into the economy. and like steve forbes says, helicopter ben. print more money. host: patrick in charlotte. guest: again, if the economy were to slip into deflation if chairman bernanke has made it his life cause, almost, to make sure that deflation doesn't happen i

forbes on deck. alisyn: a critical test for the republican presidential hopeful, what will one of the moderators ask of them tonight? we'll find out when we ask him. alisyn: oh, what a week for your retirement money. we are seconds away from the -- there it is, the opening bell on wall street. what will be next -- what will the next 7-8 hours hold? we've seen historic point swings, the dow plunged 520 points yesterday. steve forbes, chairman and editor in chief of forbes media joins me now. hi steve. >> good to be with you alisyn, how are you? >> alisyn: i'm okay, i'm trying to hold on for this wild ride, because yesterday obviously the dow went down 520 points, but the day before it had this 600-point rally. what is going on with the market? >> well, what's going on is reflecting the sheer absolute uncertainty about what's happening to the economy, what the europeans are doing about sovereign debt, the health of their own banks, and the federal reserve making it clear they're going to continue to tr

steep forbes is chairman and editor in cheer of forbes media. and he ran for president twice. great stove you, steve. this is more than a bump we've seen from other gop candidates that get in the race. do you think he's ready for the scrutiny that comes with being the front-runner and with such a commanding lead? >> i think he got the taste of it when he was perhaps overexuberant in criticizing the federal research, so he is getting his footings in terms of the national stage. one thing candidates always have to learn is what worked locally will not work nationally. it's a whole different experience. that's why you would do this now instead of decent or january when you've got the caucuses coming. but the fact he's a governor, had a good record there, where some of the candidates haven't had executive experience is one reason why he's now on top. >> as we observe all of this, this is a republican field as vast as you can get. mitt romney is a wealthy businessman. are you behind any of these candidates yet? >> i'm looking closely. i think in the next few weeks we'll see if any

then 99, steve forbes came in and george w. bush and they had an arms race. spent millions. and over 20,000 people showed up. how many people do you think will show up to the straw poll? >> i think between 10,000 and 20,000 will participate. >> that's 20% of maybe the entire turnout for the caucuses. >> exactly. that would be the second largest turnout in history if it were, say, over 12,000. i think that could happen, even though they're not spending as much money, and you don't have romney and you don't have governor perry on the ballot. so despite that, i think there is a lot of interest. and i think people are really upset about what's going on in this country. the huge debt that we have and the fact that we have over 9% unemployment. iowans don't like debt. they elected me as governor. i defeated an incumbent who put the state deep in debt. and iowans want us to get our fiscal house in order. we have done that at the state level. the federal government needs to do that. we need to focus on jobs. that's why i think you hear republicans focusing on what they have done to

and then we talked to steve forbes, ceo of forbes inc. both very good economic analysts. so i expected they come from different ends of the spectrum here as they look at what's wrong with the economy. but the first question out of the bat, of course, was what do you think of this s&p downgrading the u.s. credit rating? and they agreed on that. take a listen. >> i think in a narrow sense, it is a political move and i think it is really, it will sound strange for me to say, an outrageous move. the government can't pay its debts. it is legally obligated to do that. it has the wherewithal to do it. in a larger sense, i think the u.s. economy is in a perilous state. this recovery has been the worst from a severe recession since the great depression but i'm surprised s&p would play politics. >> look. s&p said to sell warren buffett said to buy. that should tell you something about the quality of u.s. bonds. at the same time, this happened because s&p was seeing what most americans are feeling. which is unhappiness with the solution that's are coming out of congress for a critic
