a grumpy news host over at fox news and no it's actually not bill o'reilly fox news sunday is chris wallace is going to moderate night's g.o.p. debate in iowa and during a pre-debate interview with neil cavuto to answer some questions about the republican candidates so there's a listen to wallace's response when he was asked about ron paul. if you want to hear what. well. the ron paul people are not going to like my saying this but to a certain degree it will discredit the i will caucuses because rightly or wrongly i think most republic the republican establishment thinks he's not going to end up as the nominee so therefore i won't count and. what so paul wins and i was influenced just goes out the window it doesn't count this is exactly what's wrong with our media these days they pick and choose who gets to go to the debates they pick and choose who gets more coverage and if they don't like somebody at the people might actually choose it it just doesn't count that is ludicrous yes ron paul doesn't echo the typical talking points that we hear from bachmann santorum romney or gingrich or the

chris wallace is with us tonight.is, it's great to see you. how are you? >> you know, shep, this has all the excitement of an ole miss harvard basketball game. it is really very exciting here. i will tell you, and i know it's an old cliche but it's like before a heavyweight championship fight, you really can feel a sense of excitement and electricity. frankly, there is a lot riding on this debate. it is the last time that these seven candidates will be up on the stage before the iowa caucuses in just over two weeks. and it's really the last chance for them either to really catapult their candidacy or hurt it. >> shepard: it almost feels like mitt romney sitting on the follow crumb of a sea saw with newt gingrich going down on one side. ron paul coming up on the other. >> you know, yes. i agree with that but having said that you could make a case that five of the seven candidates on that stage could win in iowa. maybe six of the seven. the only one i think clearly who won't is jon huntsman. is he not really contesting

i sat down with chris wallace for a sneak peek of his exclusive interview with the gop presidential hopefulears, but you got him to sit down today. mitt romney wrapped up -- excuse me. let's start again. sorry. that is the reality of live television. that was the wrong tape. you can see i messed up there. not chris. so we're going to rerun it with the real intro to chris. is that ready, guys? all right. we're going to come back to that. you can catch all of chris' interview with former governor mitt romney on fox news sunday. it airs at 2:00 o'clock and 6:00 o'clock eastern, right after our show. we'll bring you that segment with chris in just a little bit. >>> after years of war, u.s. troops are headed home from iraq. so as the war comes to a close, we look back and look forward at what comes negotiation for our troops with fox news military analyst, general jack keane. thanks for coming in. >> good to see you. >> shannon: as we roll out, let's talk about what did we do right in iraq? what went right there? >> well, certainly the way we conducted the invasion, liberated 25 million iraqis f

one of the panelists in the debate along with chris wallace and neil cavuto.is wallace will be the moderator. jon corzine in front of a house committee again. do you think is he going to be indicted. >> painful to watch. so far i don't see it. but i don't know what is he doing going before house panels to talk about nothing. i don't know anything. i can't answer any questions. i wasn't there. i can't get the papers. just, i mean, it's just terrible. if i were his lawyer i would say just be quiet. say nothing. when you have lost $1.2 billion, it's really not helpful to go testify. >> bill: do you remember the show called hogan's heros? do you remember that? >> i know nothing. >> bill: who was the sergeant who said that. >> wasn't it schultz? was he the guy. >> bill: played by. >> i was only like 2 but i remember. >> john banner. the late john banner. i know nothing. i'm not believing that for a second. all right? you don't lose 1.2 billion of people's money. people's money. now, this is what the government has to protect american citizens from. this exact. >> o

bret baier, chris wallace, neil cavuto and i will be there. be moderating the contest, asking the questions. again, it's 9 p.m. eastern right here on fnc. >>> well, newt gingrich says one of the main reasons he is running for president is his concern about our judicial system and so-called activist judges. in october gingrich released a paper outlining how he would change the system if elected president. now that mr. gingrich is surging in the polls, we're taking a closer look at that plan, what it calls for and how it would change our judicial system and our country. [applause] >> we do not have to tolerate radical, anti-american judges rewriting the american constitution and pretending that we are helpless and, candidly, once we have abolished this court, we should serve notice to the ninth circuit that they are on suffer answer, and they decide to continue being radical, they will become unemployed. megyn: a fired-up newt gingrich speak anything october about his plan to rein in, quote, activist judges who he believes are destroying the ame

>> because i found it lacking, often times. >> you can see the entire interview of our own chris wallaceeastern on the fox news channel, check your local listings. also michelle bachmann joins us chris. >>> if the race for the white house were a reality show the title would not be the apprentice but maybe the apprentice the president. some wondering if the next debate echoes a reality series because the moderator of the next one, donald trump. what is the mainstream media's reaction? liz trotta joins us every sunday at this time with her commentary. from the howard k smith moderating the kennedy-nixon debate to the donald. >> as far as the media goes they are afraid, i think. they are afraid of donald trump or they are afraid that they will lose their access because he's such a character and makes good copy. [ unintelligible ] the beginning of who is going and who isn't, ron paul has said decidedly no and issued a statement. he says the selection of a reality television personality to host a presidential debate that voters nationwide will be watching, is beneath the office of the preside

fox news sunday host chris wallace. chris wallace, what about heading in this debate?y. but there could be interesting moments tonight. >> absolutely. as you have been saying and it's true, this is the last time that the candidates are all going to be on the stage together before the iowa caucuses in a little over two weeks. it's the last time to make a big impression, with the state and much of the nation watching. there is a lot riding on it. there is no front runner this race. it's up for grabs. you could make a convinces case that four or five of seven could win the caucuses. a big night. cat cult yourself if you do something good and smart. it's a night you can hurt yourself if you step in it. >> bret: this is the second time you work the questions over with us in the panel of -- it's pretty amazing process going through the questions and how we come up to them. >> it is. >> not to pat ourselves on the back too much but i have watched the other debate and seen repetitive questions from what we have seen. we have already heard the answer to that 20 times. i will sa

>>shepard: playboy and chris wallace is iowa.or told me calcium is best absorbed 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. for a hot dog cart. my mother said, "well, maybe we ought to buy this hot dog cart and set it up someplace." so my parents went to bank of america. they met with the branch manager and they said, "look, we've got this little hot dog cart, and it's on a really good corner. let's see if we can buy the property." and the branch manager said, "all right, i will take a chance with the two of you." and we've been loyal to bank of america for the last 71 years.

he was on fox this morning in an interview with chris wallace and he sort of went over his explanationgrich unreliable, erratic and zany. mitt romney a little while ago. >> speaker said this is right wing social engineering. talk about unreliable. at a critical time, he cut the legs out from underneath a very important message. the same was true with regards to cap and trade. this was being battled on capitol hill and the speaker sat down with nancy pelosi and spoke in favor of legislation dealing with climate change. he has been unreliable in those settings and zany, i wouldn't think you would call mirrors and space to light highways at night practical or lunar colony a practical idea. >> mirrors in space delay high, that's got to be an interesting idea for iowa caucus goers, no? probably not, actually. mr. gingrich this morning was on face the nation in a hastily arranged appearance. his campaign sort of acknowledged in the last 4, 48 hours that a lot of these attacks going on against him have cost him. so that may explain why he decided to appear and it's worth noting at the beginni

>> the best that brian and i had with chris wallace, chris wallace and i bet brian that the packers would beat the giants. yesterday, chris wallace and i were revelling in it. i read sports. i was revelling in it. now i see the giants may have been ripped off from a touchdown! >> look at this. we didn't even discuss this before. it turns out with the game tied at seven, the giants go in for a 14-7, score was called back, said it was out of bounds. upon review, they said it was out of bounds. giants are forced to kick a field goal. upon further review, he was inbounds so i'm calling on the nfl to replay the game. tomorrow! at noon. >> fantastic. >> here in studio e! >> no, we need a field because they need to play on a surface. but again, back and forth to the wire, the world champion undefeated packers against the giants, losers of three in a row had giant taunting me in the fourth quarter and then towards the end, the giants marched down with a two point conversion as well as a touchdown to tie the game. i taunted back. and i did something foolish, steve. >> what's that? >> i used twitte

chris wallace is with us.s to tax the middle class, cut their salaries, fire a bunch of people, and the other side wants 3 percent tax on millionaires which wouldn't cover the bill where is the compromise? >> over the course of the last year there has been a lot of talk about other ways to either cut spending or raise revenue, some of the revenue increases would be things like selling parts of the broadcast spectrum, things like that, or increase the fee for security at airports, but they will find a way in the middle to do this because, and i will tell you a lot of republicans doubt whether they should citizen the payroll tax cut. we had jon kyl on sunday and the number two republican in the senate on fox news sunday and he said i don't think it has been a stimulus. and a lot of people feel that way it has not stimulated the economy. but the shear politics of it, the idea that democrats are on the side, think of it, democrats proposing a tax cut and republicans opposing a tax cut, or to this case extending on

and i will be next with chris wallace i got the shorter end of the straw but that is okay, chris anden fast friends and he is a giant in the media world. so he tells me. we are looking forward to it. feel the power my young friend. mmm!

. >> you're going to be with my friend and colleague on chris wallace on fox news sunday.d about that. a week from sunday. and i'm wondering whether you are doing that because you are worried and the polls aren't looking gas for you. newt gingrich is soaring, you're not, are you worried? >> that's what happens as you know, neil, towards the end of a campaign. we will good on the air with ads. we are just doing those. we are doing those because the election is getting close. it is time for closing argument. you will see me all over the country. i'll be on tv. i'll be on fox a lot. because you guys matter when it comes to republican primary voters. i want them to hear my message. >> here is richard tonight from the white house. thanks for joining us richard. >> thanks, lawrence. >> i hear they couldn't get limb do interviews and now suddenly he is doing them by satellite from campaign locations, you know, in different states. this is a whole new approach for romney. >> yeah. but it is not exactly radical. if risk taking is talking to chris wallace then you need to recalibrat

for next round of questions, i turn to my colleague chris wallace. >> chris: thank you, bret.tes, i will call this section for lack of a better word "d.c. culture." governor romney, i will begin with you. speaker gingrich says you should give back the millions of dollars you made in his words bankrupting companies and laying off employees. you responded that he has in your words an extraordinary lack of understanding of how the economy works. his comments dovetail with daringmentarguments you hear fre democrats on your belief of the creative destruction of capitalism, shows a hard heartedness. what do you think of what speaker gingrich said about you and are you vulnerable to that attack? >> it's a great opportunity for us. i think the president will level the same attack. he will go after me and say in businesses that you have invested in, they didn't all succeed. some failed. some laid people off. he will be absolutely right. but if you look at all the businesses we invested in, over 100 different businesses, they added tens of thousands of jobs. in the real world that the p

than you were prior, governor; i notice that you are going to be with me friend and colleague chris wallace on fox news sunday, and he is excited about that a week from sunday and i am wondering whether you are doing that because you are worried in the polls are net look as good for you with gingrich soaring, and you are not. are you worried? >>guest: that is what happens toward the end of a campaign. use know, neil, you will see us going up on the air with ads. we are doing that because the legislations is getting close. it is time for our closing argument. i'm making the closing argument to the american people. if they accept my view and they want to see america remain an opportunity society, a merit based society, they will vote for me. they want to take a different course, that is their right. but this is a time for me to make my case you will see me we all over the country particularly in early primary states, and i will be on tv and on fox a lot because you guys matter for the republican primary voters. i want them to hear my message and have an opportunity for my choice. >>neil: many

that changed this morning when romney appeared with chris wallace on "fox news sunday." toward the end, the questioning got a bit personal. >> the rap against -- you've heard this, i'm not saying anything you haven't heard, governor -- you're robotic. you're buttoned up. that you don't let -- that you don't let voters inside to know who you really are and what you really feel. first of all, do you think that's fair? >> you know, anything's fair in this world. the good news is that the people who see me in town meetings, that actually meet me and spend some time with me, have a different impression. >> the fourth major romney interview in week came as the conservative media establishment plunged itself into a virtual civil war over newt gingrich, who has surged past romney in the polls at least for the moment. joining us to examine the campaign coverage here in washington, julie mason, now the host of "the press pool" on sirris xm satellite radio. dana millbank, columnist for the "washington post." and ramesh panur, editor at "review." a zany person -- now you can be zany

. >> chris wallace? >> thank you, bret. governor romney, i want to follow up on bret's line of questioning to the speaker because many of our viewers tell thaws they are supporting newt gingrich because they think that he will be tougher than you in take the fight to barack obama in next fall's debate. why would you be able to make the republican case against the president more effectively than the speaker? >> well, let's step back and talk about what is really happening in the country. what we are finding across america is a lot of people are really hurting. 25 million people out of work. stopped looking for work or part-time work that need full-time jobs. a lot of people in the middle class who have seen incomes go down as the cost of living has gone up and up and up. the american people care deeply about having a president who can get america right again. all of us on this stage have spoken over the last several debates about the fact that government doesn't create jobs but the private sector does. i spent my life, my ca

, with ron paul, and home depot founder bernie marcus, and questioning along with megyn kelly, chris wallace've got bret baier, we're doing jello shots right before it so it should be quite interesting once the debate ensues. remember this, any-- >> barack obama and i were literally sitting at a desk in a high rise in chicago, beginning to plan how we would try to get this economy out of a ditch. literally, the first guy i called was john corzine. (laughter) >> that's a far cry from this, forget about mf. more like mf? at bank of america, we're lending and investing in communities across the country, from helping to revitalize a neighborhood in brooklyn to financing industries that are creating jobs in boston or providing funding for the expansion of a local business serving a diverse seattle community and supporting training programs for tomorrow's workforce in los angeles. because the more we can do in local neighborhoods and communities, the more we can help make opportunity possible. >> coming up a one two guy for the white house now getting a going over on capitol hill. former uawed big

bret baier, chris wallace, megyn kelly all moderating tonight's contest 9 p.m.e on fox, and neil cavuto as well. bill: when you think about rasmussen, what he says, 52% of the people in iowa still say they can change their mind between now and -- martha: and you know what? for many of them i think they're just tuning in as many people do. three weeks to go, now thai going to really -- they're going to really start to pay attention, they haven't been out there that much. so they haven't had a chance to think about it yet. so a lot can move. bill: that phase of the campaign certainly has changed this year. >>> all right, one year ago today border patrol officer brian terry was shot and killed. two guns, part of the government's fast and furious gun-running sting, found at the scene of his murder n. a congressional hearing, the head of the fbi, robert mueller, testifying for the first time on this denied his agency was involved in any sort of cover-up to protect any part of the u.s. government. >> let me start with adamantly rejecting the suggestion that the fbi wo
