your store with barney frank and chris dodd and let's look at the politicians who created the environment the politicians who profited from the environment and the politicians who put this country in trouble. what. i know i go first let me let me clarify something that he failed to clarify in that answer so he's referring to chris dodd taking out two home loans using the ride's countrywide v.i.p. program ok and that actually saved him a considerable amount of money on his home loans he saved fifty eight thousand dollars on one home loan and seventeen thousand dollars on another home loan now in my opinion there are definitely ethical issues there because if you are getting this great deal through countrywide v.i.p. program then you're more likely to pass policies in favor of big banks and countrywide so i understand what he's saying about that however not having a discussion about throwing chris dodd in jail if you want to set that kind of standard then every single politician should be thrown in jail right so that's what he was referring to with chris dodd when it comes to barney frank i

so i understand what he's saying about that however i'm not having a discussion about throwing chris dodd in jail if you want to set that kind of standard then every single politician should be thrown in jail right so that's what he was referring to with chris dodd when it comes to barney frank i think he was trying to imply that barney frank wasn't critical enough of the predatory loans with when i really don't understand why republicans keep saying that over and over again when in two thousand and four barney frank was on the record saying we've got to stop these home loans these subprime mortgages are a disaster so he doesn't really have a great point there now. i don't let other than that like i he doesn't make any sense you want to throw them in jail why don't we throw away the throws of people in jail who repealed the glass steagall act that that actually directly had an impact on the economic meltdown why don't we focus on some of the policies of the bush administration past that i think are definitely. more of a reason for why we are in this economic disaster that we're in now so

rick perry says the american revolution happened in the 16th century, and newt gingrich says chris dodd and barney frank should be imprisoned. that's what he said, for writing legislation he disagrees with. no wonger mitt romney never, quote, loses a debate. how could he in this crowd? >>> as roberta flack and donny hathaway san, where is the love? polls show him treading water while republicans keep picking a new flavor of the month. >>> plus joe biden said today it won't happen. hillary clinton said today it won't happen, and i have no evidence it will happen. why do some people keep stirring the pot, saying a desperate president obama will dump biden and put hillary on the ticket? >>> what are we to make of the alleged plot to assassinate the saudi ambassador. ? was it a rogue operation? or planned at the top in iran? >>> let me finish with the sorry displace, as peggy lee would say, is that all there are there is? >>> we start with the clown show. congressman frank is from, and congressman frank, i have a lot of respect for you, as you know. here was night gingrich talking saying yo

rick perry says the american revolution happened in the 16th century, and newt gingrich says chris dodd and barney frank should be imprisoned for writing legislation he disagrees with. no wonder mitt romney never, quote, loses a debate. how could he in this crowd? barney frank is here to deal with newt's bomb-throwing at the top of the show. also, mitt romney turns out to be the movie you see when the movie you wanted to see is sold out. as roberta flack and donny hathaway sang "where is the love." polls show romney treading water while republicans keep picking a new flavor of the month. plus, joe biden said today it won't happen. hillary clinton said today it won't happen, and i have no evidence that it will, so why do some people keep stirring the pot saying a desperate president obama will dump biden and put hillary on the ticket? and what do you make of that alleged plot to assassinate the saudi arabian ambassador here in washington? was it a rogue operation or a plant at the top in iran? finally, let me finish with the sorry display we saw last night. as miss peggy lee would say, i

i ought to start with barney frank and chris dodd and let's look at the politicians who created the environment, the politicians who profited and put this country in trouble. >> clearly you're not saying they should go to jail. >> in chris dodd's case, go back and look at the countryside deals. barney frank, look at the lobbyists he was close to at freddie mac. >> gingrich then criticized the media for putting the blame on business saying politicians are the oneses to blame for our weak economy. before last night's debate, governor romney announced he picked up a huge enforcement, that of new jersey governor chris christie. >> i have behind me a man who is an american hero, he's been battling to rein in the excesses of the government in new jersey. he's a real hero in republican circles because he's a man who has been fort right. he's a man who has a following of a lot of folks across this country. so when he indicated a willingness to join my team, could i not have been more pleased and more happy. >> nudge governor and his style very candid about why he is supporting mitt romney. >> i'm here

and if you want to put people in jail, you ought to start with barney frank and chris dodd.nd let's look at the politicians who put this country in trouble. >> clearly not saying they should go to jail. >> well, in chris dodd's case, go back and look at the countryside deals. look at the lobbyist close to freddie mac. >> i think we all agree barney frank should not be put in jail. the context of the question was should wall street people be thrown into jail. and then he played off of that. >> newt was newt last night. he was, michael steele, newt was leaning forward as they say at us at msnbc, throwing wild punches left and right. and in about a five-minute frame. and if you're newt gingrich trying to grab the base, this is one way to do it. he not only absolutely slammed bernanke, who is ironically an ideologically conservative, and somehow has become the whipping boy of the far right. right after that, he's talking about hauling a couple of congressmen and senators off to jail. and then he starts talking about death panels. i thought it was august 2009. i just -- >> eh --

chris dodd and i were in the minority during that time and, in fact, no remedial action was taken by we became chairmen of our respective committees in '07 and '08. your response, sir? >> bologna. first of all, he's factually wrong about running behind michele bachmann, so it's just bologna. second, he's wrong about trying to shift the blame. these problems go all the way back to jimmy carter in 1979 distorting the housing industry. they're accelerated under the democrats. the housing act which was passed by the pelosi congress was a disaster in '08, and the fact is that barney frank has consistently and chris dodd consistently built up and strengthened fannie mae and freddie mac, the two gigantic housing institutions. and peter wallace at the american enterprise institute is probably the leading expert on this, he can lay out on why they have a lot to answer for. i didn't want suggest out of the blue we put anybody in jail, but i said if somebody wants to start down that road, the place to start is chris dodd and barney frank, not with people on wall street. megyn: let me ask you fo

the notion of putting chris dodd and barney frank in jail is silly. >> newt gingrich had nothing to doe '90s. >> one statement is not connected to a public policy position held five minutes before. there is a play for newt gingrich in this field right now. >> there is? >> there is. >> i thought he was trying to be joe biden, the serious guy who may be a less experienced guy would want to tap as vice president. >> also competing for that herman cain position right now, competing for where is the energy in the electorate in the republican party? it's in the activist wing of the republican party. he's got to get traction in that group. there's still room. he's creeping up slowly in the polls, not making huge strides. if newt gingrich can get traction, he can be the guy that can be the alternative to mitt romney. >> i want to put this up. headline in bloomberg said it. romney in debate shows he's a front runner. he entered a cautious front runner. not prone to mistakes who has yet to win at least 70% of his party." >> looking at that table, it seems as though some of the other candidates r

. >> if you want to muput people jail, you ought to start with barney frank and chris dodd and let's look at the politicians who created the environment, the politicians who benefited from the environment and the politicians who put this country in trouble. >> reporter: rick perry did not get the breakout performance he probably needed. he seemed sluggish in plugging his economic plan, designing to offer up many specifics. >> opening up a lot of the areas of our domestic energy area. that's the real key. i'm not going to lay it out for you tonight. mitt's had six years to be working on a plan. i have been in this for about eight weeks. >> and herman cain took most of the abuse last night. he probably should get used to that sort of treatment, considering his current standing at the polls, which is basically right at mitt romney's heels. during the middle of the debate last night, the michele bachmann campaign sent out an e-mail predicting that the cain 9-9-9 economic policy and the key to win this nomination is convince republican voters that his 9-9-9 plan is more than pizza deliver

to put people in jail i want to second one to show that you got to start with barney frank and chris dodd and let's look at the politicians who created the environment the politicians who profited from the environment and the politicians who put this country in trouble clearly not for them along with them in jail alongside tom delay right and then rick santorum said he wants to go to war with china. senator santorum we talked about jobs in pennsylvania a competitive agenda of yours would be what i already put forward a plan you know i don't want to go to a trade war i want to be china i want to go to war with china and just as long as gays don't fight not war i guess but perhaps the most telling thing about last night's debate was how virtually all the candidates ignored rick perry a bad side to the a bad sign for the former front runner who stuck his boot so far in his mouth in the first few days that it looks like his campaign is officially flat lining. so what does the republican field look like coming out of this debate new hampshire a rancher that is. reporter and blogger at think pr

the police have more important things to be doing like arresting democratic politicians like chris dodd>> good point. >> anne, where do you stand? >> i have nothing funny, but i think it is an interesting first amendment case. do you care? can i continue? >> please do. >> as you know i am usually coming out against the first amendment because it is all pornography or nudie dancing. well that is not communicating. i won't say any words because it will get the whole thing sensored. it is creating an election. here you have actual communication. the core purpose of the first amendment against the government. on the other hand i think the question is, is it only to encourage illegal behavior. or if it is just to communicate the caps are around, is he saying, i am just letting people know and some people get nervous and freeze up when cops come nearby. >> do they give a ticket when the cops are there? does that person get a ticket? >> are you saying this is a slippery slope? >> i have to be honest, after i have been hearing -- >> i keep forgetting you are a lawyer. >> i am so glad you forgot

>> i'm certainly running against people like chris dodd and barney frank.nk the house republicans ought to repeal the dodd-frank bill next week. i think its terrible bill. i think bachmann has it right. it's a job killing homeowner killing, small bank killing, small business killing bill. they ought to repeal it and build pressure on the senate to repeal it. the fact is the congress and federal reserve and the u.s. treasury, i suggested tonight bernanke ought to be fired. geithner ought to be fired. people are mad about the economy the right place to focus is washington, washington is a destroyer of jobs in this country. worse under obama but the general underlying bureaucracy, the general regulatory pattern has been building for a long time and killing jobs in america. >> greta: and any of your other candidates say tonight that surprised you? >> there was a lot of interesting conversation. i think that whether it was rick santorum was a very good proposal on manufacturing. her man cain was endlessly funny. i didn't realize but i forgotten he had served in

core, you know, two of the people that probably should have gone to jail first, barney frank and chris doddbecause their committees had oversight of fannie mae and freddie mac and it's documented that they turned the other way, put it under the rug. they didn't do their job. >> give me a very quick pie. here's a pie. how much is obama's fault, how much is wall street's a fault, how much is the fault of the people themselves? >> i would say that 50% of it is obama's fault, 25% of it is wall street's fault and 25% of it is the individual's fault. >> that's a straight answer, from a politician. >> i'm not a politician. >> thank you for reminding me. i need a break to recover from that honest answer from a near politician. >>> when we come back, i want to talk about your views on the issues. it's going to get personal. our 4 new rich & hearty soups really have people talking...

if there's senators involved like last time with chris dodd and joe biden you had to watch them get usedo a different kind of stage and then there's always some flaky candidate on the edge. >> sure. >> and you watch them either gel in to something that makes a little more sense or the flaky ones just fall apart. that's not happening here. >> no. it's really interesting actually. there is no real lower tier here where you can see people as the nominee. last time in both parties you had people across the board who you could see on the nominee. one on the lower side ended up the vice president. this is a very different field we are looking at. it is partly entertainment. this is the whatever candidacy. he gets people o angry people say herman cain is serious why would they say he is serious there is little evidence of a real campaign. he is only showing it in the last few days. he is saying we have been complain campaigning while on the book tour. facts matter and the problems are at his hand. he flip flops on abortion. different positions one day, and he said quoting john if he doesn't lik

core, you know, two of the people that probably should have gone to jail first, barney frank and chris doddmmittees had oversight of fannie mae and freddie mac and it's documented that they turned the other way, put it under the rug. they didn't do their job. >> give me a very quick pie. here's a pie. how much is obama's fault, how much is wall street's a fault, how much is the fault of the people themselves? >> i would say that 50% of it is obama's fault, 25% of it is wall street's fault and 25% of it is the individual's fault. >> that's a straight answer, from a politician. >> i'm not a politician. >> thank you for reminding me. i need a break to recover from that honest answer from a near politician. >>> when we come back, i want to talk about your views on the personal >>> if i am fortunate enough to become the republican nominee, it's going to be the problem solver who fixes versus the president who has not fixed anything in this country. >> back with herman cain, i want to get your personal views, is the all encompassing theme of this subject. first of all, let's talk about homosexual

remember, it was about this time, an october debate when chris dodd made that damaging hit on hillary clinton. i want to go back to romney here. what has been amazing about this is in 2007 and 2008, the republican field didn't like mitt romney. you could tell and they went after him all the time at the deba debates. that's not happening this time. that's got to make the romney people feel good. the down side so far this cycle is that while the republicans are paying a lot of attention, the more attention somebody pays to this race, the more likely they are to support somebody else, at least if you believe the nbc wall street journal poll. cain did better than those paying the most attention. >>> immigration wasn't a top issue. now it is. michelle bachmann was quick to take advantage of herman cain's quote, unquote joke about an electric border fence at a stop in arizona yesterday. >> this is no laughing matter, the border fence. we've seen jokes made about presidential candidates about the fence. it is not a jek. >> well, cain who was also in phoenix for a media appearance with staunc

chris dodd won a lot of the debates. it came down barack and hillary.time when michele bachmann started at the beginning she had terrific debates and she soars. herman cain, i think, where he is because he's a very good debater, and he has a sense of humor. perry cannot ignore the debates, he cannot. his job to be the conservative al ternive to romney. if he -- he has no chance, i think being the alternative to mit. >> did you hear paul talk about the dog track in texas and say he's not a gambler? >> i realizes where he is. >> see where he is a fact check to be done here somewhere. that would be vegas, i think, begala. >> i am in vegas. i love it here. i highly encourage people to come here, and to go gaming, i guess, as they call it. >> he's trying to make it look like he's in the city. >> i got it. i got it. paul, eric, thanks for coming in on a friday night. have a great weekend. >>> still to come here, you know john stewart and stephen colbert. how about these guys? >>. >> they gave ahmadinejad and the ayatollahs fits as co-creators uaker oatmeal is

you ought to start with bernie frank and chris dodd. look at the politicians who profited from the environment and the politicians who put this country in trouble. >> yeah. and who was it that voted down glass segal and deregulated wall street? newt i thought you were supposed to be a historian, dude. missed that one. rick perry looked like a deer in the headlights at times. >> we're sitting on this treasure-trove of energy in this country. and i don't need 999, we don't need any plan to pass congress. we need to get a president of the united states that is committed to passing the types of regulations, pulling the regulations back, freeing this country to go develop the energy industry that we have in this country. i can promise you that we do and we'll create an environment in this country where the manufacturing will come back to this country. >> now, you have to admit that rick perry has gotten better with his bullet points. that was just generic talk right there. no substance whatsoever. but i found it interesting late in the debat

long time folks here, led by chris dodd, we stid here, you went to the offices of the other guy and it made a difference. we did the crime bill. you should up and made a difference. i'm just praying it will make a difference now. because there's nothing temporary about saving somebody's life. there's nothing temporary about giving a kid a chance. thank you all very, very much. [cheers and applause] leader harry reid. [cheers and applause] >> thank you very much. i want the lesson that everyone takes away is that we make sure there's a vote on our bill this week. to make sure we do that, we have to work something out. we're going to protect ourselves. you know the republicans that work in the senate suit up every day. come down to play their game in the senate by following the lead of their leader. that is to do whatever they can do to make sure they do everything they can to make barack obama's life miserable. that in fact is what the republican leader said. his number one goal is to make sure that barack obama's not re-elected. do we disagree with mitch mcconnell?
