if you look at their beliefs between mormons and christians, there is a separation that takes place in the view of who god is. also the separation that takes place of who jesuses, what have and will be, what eternity will look like. >> what the conservative christians do not know is to to follow instead. redemption is at the heart of their faith but they may not be keen on the challenger who said that he wanted an open marriage. and gingrich exploded in righteous fury when that was put to him. >> i think the destructive nature of much of the in media makes it harder to govern this country and i am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate with a topic like that. >> morality is not all that matters. the candidates make sure that they visit the beacon fast-food joint. the customers keep coming but south carolina's economy is hurting. they see romney as lukewarm. >> we did not have the candidate that has the complete package of conservatism, a good history. a lot of them have a lot of baggage. a lot of them have talked about the tea party values, but have they apply to them when

but, in general, it certainly does not look good for christian wulff.e holds an office that, more than anything else, is supposed to demonstrate moral integrity. the office of president here in germany is largely symbolic, but the president is supposed to provide a kind of moral leadership for the nation. so if it emerges that he lied in the interview yesterday about the contents of that phone call or at least intentionally misrepresented what he said, that certainly would go to the question of whether he has the moral stature to hold this office. >> what about the chancellor, angela merkel, she has indicated that she is standing behind christian wulff, but she has not said much -- is in pressure going to mount on her to really say something? >> qr spokesman did say yesterday that she has full confidence that the president will answer all the open questions regarding the various transgressions and irregularities. she has none said anything since the interview. i think, of course, she will be biding our time to see whether further developments emerge. ce

christian, is that the way to go? >> look, if all you're interested in it increasing corporate profits, sure, cut the tax rates and if you're interested in creating jobs. >> brenda: let him talk. >> you need to do more. the reason that businesses are not hiring right now is less to do with their tax rates, but more to do with the lack of aggregate demand out there in the economy. and even if you increase profits by cutting taxes, you're still not creating a market for those goods and services. that's the real key issue. what's going on in europe right now has been priced in, and factored into the markets for the last six months. so, this is not a surprise. what we really need to do to increase employment at home is to improve employment situation getting more people back to work and seeing their wages rising again. >> gary b, answer for that? >> first of all, i thought toby's home country was scotland and not ireland. last week i was sure it was scotland. >> brenda: depends what he's drinking, okay? >> that's not withstanding

look at just say take iraq as one. the sunni versus the she that, the christians versus the muslims, they're all coming apart. the uighurs versus the chinese in china. take a rook at burma. -- look at burma. 40% of these tribes are trying to break away. even in europe, scotland wants to break away, catalonia, northern italy. and so what i'm saying is we've thrown out the melting pot, we bring in all these folks from all these places never assimilated, we destroyed our process of assimilation, and i'm looking around the world and seeing it's all coming apart, and i'm saying why are we taking this race welcome the greatest country on earth? -- risk with the greatest country on earth? >> host: how can multiculturalism and multiethnicity and all that, how can that produce a better country than the one we grew up in? mainly say our generation. >> guest: right. >> host: let me give you an example. first of all, it wasn't all that great, you know? segregation was horrible, the repression of human potential among blacks was terrible, and there was a lot of discrimination against women. now, in my harvard law school cl

hampshire familiarity working for him different makeup of voters there in new hampshire look at evangelical christians going on for years ago sot to run on that 60 percent and even more so 70 percent four years ago how the candidate and do their belligerent was important to the way they voted. for a very bad going back to where we were with iowa christian evangelicals courted by rick perry and rick santorum then you look at political ideology and hampshire always conduct a reputation live free and a diet very much independence that is what is accounted for ron paul support tonight. 48% to ensure a moderate-liberal and four years ago almost 70 percent of voters republican primary south carolina say they are conservative. john mccain won four years ago over mike huckabee even though mike huckabee efficient conservative in that race and other big thing sot, live at military as well certainly does not apply it to mitt romney and frankly where rick perry is looking for a >> crunching the numbers what do they tell you? >> 11 days a lot of time on the ground newt gingrich met romney called tonight white hous

. >> you know what's ironic abouting that if you look back at the bush years? it was evangelical christianshe most in favor of invading iraq. it was evangelical christians the must gung ho for the bush policy in iraq. now that will obama is commander in chief, they've changed their mind. >> the nation has, as well. >> it has more to do with a decade of war. >> ten years of wars. >> in addition and, of course, the military is heavily christian. when i look at the numbers and ron paul who is very pro-life, this says to me that the republican party is the absolutely captured by the abortion lobby, the anti-abortion lobby because the top two candidates for christians and conservatives are the most strongly pro-life. >> that is a defining issue. gary johnson is a classic example. you know, he's very similar to ron paul. he doesn't -- you know, that's like a deal breaker for a lot of people is the abortion issue. >> john, you've written about ron paul calling him a crank but beloved by supporters. yet we have the polling information that shows him to be slipping in the last few days. what account

, which is to say that other candidates are going to court very conservative christian voters who they know will probably look at the fact that romney is a mormon as being something outside of christianity, supposedly, as a negative for him, and use that to drive romney out of this race if possible. i don't think it will have a hugesque on tuesday, but the fact that they're already starting to do this in iowa now means this is going to be the game plan. >> so watching the race, today rick santorum urged i would voters to send a shock wave by voting for him. what do you make of that? >> well, it would be a surprise, orvels, if santorum came back to win after being out of the conversation nationally for so long. let's remember, winning the iowa caucus doesn't portend the final result. lots of times the person with wins doesn't -- he will live to fight another day. there's an enormous amount of money on the side lines. all winning i would will mean at this point is that other people will be sent out, perhaps michele bachmann and others, if they don't do well, but if santorum, if he does well, it would mean he co

. >> reporter: santorum's appealing to christian conservatives. >> if you're looking for someone you can trust, someone who's authentic, i'll put myself out there. >> reporter: reality tv's duggar family got on board. >> duggars are part of the santorum surge? >> that's right. >> reporter: unless bachmann and perry voters flock to santorum, mitt romney figures he can win tomorrow. >> get out and vote and vote and vote, get your friends to go to the caucuses. >> reporter: ron paul has a shot to win iowa. >> tomorrow is a very important day. small in numbers, but very big message. >> reporter: newt gingrich vows he's not quitting. >> whatever i do tomorrow night will be a victory. because i'm still standing. >> reporter: next is new hampshire. romney country. santorum tells me he's in. >> we don't have any intention of beating mitt romney, he's saved his life there for the past four years. we think we can do well in the pack and move up and do very well. >> south carolina? >> that's going to be a very good state for us. >> reporter: first, iowa. tomorrow tells the tale. iowa republican

for a look here is spencer christian. >> there are delays again because of construction. delays but not weather related. construction related delays. and there is everything clear and there are delays in boston. low cloud ceilings and strong winds and we'll take a look at winter arriving in the bay area in just a moment. >>> push comes to shoving on the steps of the u.s. capitol this morning. activists scuffled with police. one person was arrested. today's protest was time to take place as congress reconvened. organizers are hoping protests will grow. this capitol emerges as one of the strongest sites in the country in part because national park as loued proestors to maintain encampment there's. >> now, iran responded to the obama administration's demands it return a captured drone. iranian state radio said a model of the drone, one that is 1/80th of its size will be sent to washington. the drone went down over iran last month. the iranian government flatly refused to return it calling the flight an invasion. >>> a homeless girl in new york captured the nation's attention

and i couldn't disagree with christian more i mean look at the united states military is greater than all the other militaries combined in the rest of the world practically and a little bit of a cut here and there isn't going to hurt us ability to the center sells i read the document to me the document is as belligerent as ever and while the united states is going to fight two ground wars at the same time it is prepared to fight one ground war and. obliteration of any other enemy that might raise its head it's very ironic that obama had made a big pitch for getting rid of nuclear weapons in a famous speech in prague and now he's saber rattling those weapons more than ever . to you frank one of the criticisms of the new strategy is that the united states becomes more reliant on nuclear weapons than ever before is that the right path the united states should be taking i mean as other countries arm themselves and we still have the issue with iran on the table i mean iran will say well i mean if the americans want to rattle those kind of weapons why shouldn't we have them as well i mean i

it's also importance to christians and important to islam. i wanted to look at why the jordan is important in these three religions and how it came to persist as this important boundary and location and symbol in jewish life from antiquity. >> for some who may not be familiar in the ways that the geography of the region is layed out, and putting aside what some may consider the political issues around the state boundaries between jordan and israel, egypt and the region. can you let folks know, in a frame work, where does the river jordan situate itself? >> so, the river jordan is the lowest river on earth. it flows from northern mountains and israel and syria. it cuts through a river valley and then empties out into the dead sea, the lowest place on earth. it's also central and important as a water source in the region. it's a dry region. en and unfortunately, a water source that's imperil. >> interesting, what did you discover when you were doing the research and moving towards -- what's the articulate the function of the river jordan. >> so, the river cuts

ralph, look, look at all the christians. there's 17 million christians in that part of the world. i will say this, they're not being -- if it's in israel, they're not being persecuted like the cops are in egypt or the asyrian catholics in iraq. i mean, they're victims of persecution, martyrdom. i mean, afghanistan, liberated afghanistan, one guy converted to christianity, and they sentenced him to death. >> host: see, the demons have been released because for centuries the whole arab/islamic world was a paragon of tolerance for religious sects -- >> guest: under the ott toman empire. >> host: under the mayans, i mean, they prided themselves on it. >> guest: right. >> host: but when the west moved in, divide and rule, you support one muslim sect against another, they engage in a fury, then they -- >> guest: you got a problem with the british empire, ralph? >> host: yeah, a little bit. [laughter] >> guest: look, i don't disagree with that. >> host: invaders disintegrate societies. >> guest: okay. all right, there's no doubt that's one of the great causes, but let's say this. right n

in their own world single out the lds church, mormon church as not being part of the christian faith. >> but if you lookhow they say they'll vote, they say they'll vote in equal numbers with other republicans. >> you mean when it comes to a choice between obama and -- >> yes. in the general, their turnout rights will be the same from what i see. i think they want to be taken seriously, they want to seem like they're still players. they're really not. >> i hate to be blunt and gross. but if they don't have money to put ads on the tv in this world, dhoent count. >> certainly compared to the super pacs. >> they're not going to drop a couple million bucks in florida. let's take a look, family research council is organizing that texas meeting says, quote, some have portrayed this as an anti-romney rally, a bash mitt weekend. it is not. what's driving it is discomfort with mitt romney among evangelicals and the search for another candidate. that's an easy way to stay, i don't like the guy, but it sounds better. >> right. >> is it religion or is it philosophy? >> i think for evangelicals. you're right to sping

looking at 80. bumper to bumper for everybody heading towards berkeley. better for those heading towards the city on the righthand side of the screen spencer christian back th a look at the national outlook. >> green lights mean go. and air traffic is on the go and there is nothing but green lights and no reports of delays. and there is some interesting changes coming up. a sharp down turn in temperatures. i'll tell but that in the accu-weather forecast as abc 7 news at 4:00 continues. with the "name your price" tool, you tell us what you want to pay, and we give you a range of coverages to choose from. who is she? that's flobot. she's this new robot we're trying out, mostly for, like, small stuff. wow! look at her go! she's pretty good. she's pretty good. hey, flobot, great job. oops.

looking for the candidates to say something to set them apart. in 2008, mike huckabee won here very easily. he had a lot of support from christian conservatives, but this time around, it looks like their vote will be split also. they are always concerned about family values, but this year they also want to hear a candidate speak about the economy and the direction that the country is going through. a will the of voters are telling me they want a candidate that shares their same value on marriage and family. they want someone that can take the country in the right direction. a lot of people i spoke to say it's going to be a very last minute decision. they may decide a couple hours before they caucus who they will cast their ballot for, lesli. >> it sounds like they have a lot of work to do between now and tomorrow. danielle nottingham, we'll see the results later tomorrow. >> no comment tonight from rick santorum's campaign after 9news now wanted to know what he meant when he made this statement in iowa on sunday. >> i don't want to make white people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money. i want to give them the opp

looking ahead. they are trying to court the christian conservatives here in south carolina, that same group of voters who made rick santorum a contender in iowa this week. >> reporter: confident enough about new hampshire and armed with more money than his opponent, mitt romney showed up in south carolina today, even before the new hampshire primary. >> this is going to be a campaign about the economy, about jobs. >> reporter: the campaign hoping that even among christian conservatives here, jobs and the economy are issue number one. with two tv ads in south carolina, one focusing on the president, the other, solely on the economy. >> policies which affect our economy. >> reporter: but some e v evangelical voters still have reservations about romney. >> i just hope he's really truly changed his views and didn't do it for expediency. >> reporter: you want to be convinced of that? >> correct. >> at one time, he was pro choice. now he's pro life. >> reporter: does any of that credit questions for you? >> it does. but again, it goes back to the economy. >> reporter: back to jobs for you? today, rick sant

if you're an evangelical, a born again christian, you're torn tonight. you lookgovernor romney and you think maybe this guy is a stronger, more electable candidate against president obama, how would you counsel them? what would you do? >> well, first, we're voting not for the pastor in chief of the united states. we're voting for the commander-in-chief. i think we have to look at the man, or the woman who can best represent our nation, who can lead us economically, militarily. the foreign policy, these things are all very crucial. very important. and yes, religion is a part of it. it has been a part of process since the beginning of our nation. a lot of people will vote for someone who they feel is the strongest candidate, as concerns their faith. but i believe we should be for the most qualified person, and we ought to go with that. >> there are some ministers who would say the values should be front and center. pat robertson campaigned in iowa. put the vote on the map. it has been a citizen constituency. if you look at iowa to be, if you ask born again christia

and spencer christian now has a look at national outlooks. >> happy to report there are no weather-related delays. there are delays up to 30 minutes or so at phoenix. and as you can see, green lights are on across the country indicating smooth sailing or smooth flying. and old, familiar web pattern about to reassert itself. we'll have forecasts coming up. >>> a u.s. ship rescued another group of iranians. you may remember thursday a navy ship rescued 13 fishermen being held captive by pirates. today a coast guard cutter picked up six iranians. iran threatened to close off the persian gulf in retaliation for international sanctions over the nuclear program. >> the world got closer to apocalypse. the keepers of the doomsday clock moved hands closer to midnight. and the time piece designed to raise awareness and run by a group of scientists known as the atomic scientists saying they moved it forward because world leaders failed to achieve progress if responding to climate change. >> a report names organized climb krim as biggest business in itally. an italian employers agency says it brings i

i do believe when you look at that, we always think of doom and gloom, the hope from the christian perspectivee never look at the end of time as something as a time of rejoicing and there's going to be a party. i think that's a good way to look at it. there's joy instead of the end of time. >> i can't get there. i kind of like it here. i think that the mayans, they finished one wheel and didn't get a chance to do the other. time, i don't think that time is linear and is going to end in 2012. >> well, i agree. i have the others who come with the other message, the "left behind" kind of thing. >> that's a realization that it's not sustainable, that we can't consume everything in all of this. human anxiety. talk about your parrish a little bit. >> i'm at st. marks united methodist church and i've been there two years. this is my 39th year in ministry. this is the first year to go to a large congregation and even being an associate pastor at gly, we had thousands. and then, my first church is the same one i've had. we have 40 to 50 members. great at out reach and fellowship and hospitality. i thin

i do believe that when you look at that, we always think it's doom and gloom, and the hope from the christian perspective is that it's joy, the bridegroom is coming. i think we never look at time and the end of time as something as a time of rejoicing and a time that will be a party, i think that's a good way to look at it, it's the joy instead of the end of time. >> i can't get there. i kind of like it here. i'm not interested in that. maybe the mayans brought a bunch of diseases and they finished one wheel and didn't get a chance to do the other? i don't think it's going to end in 2012. >> well, i'm on the same page there. but i have others who come with the other message, left behind kind of thinking. >> and i think perhaps, that's a realization that sub consciously, the way things are going, it's not sustainable. we can't keep consuming everything and in all of this. talk about your pairish a little bit. >> st. marks united methodist church. i've been there two years and it's my 39th year in ministry. it's nice to go from the large oakland congregation and being the associate pastor at gl

look at this field. you see that the support of evangelical christians, santorum does very well.e's been endorsed by two leading evangelicals. but they don't have one horse this time. there is no mike huckabee. and that's good for mitt romney. so they're split. santorum does very well. paul, surprisingly, i think, does well with evangelicals. that may be because of his economic message. bachmann. gingrich. perry. but, again, that's the key to his success, and that's the way romney wants it. split the evangelical vote this time. good for mitt romney. >> interesting to see ann romney out. i saw that political interview talking about how she and her husband read stripture together. there's been overtures in that direction. >> that's right. >> one thing i wanted to ask you, 60% of republican voters in iowa identified themselves as born again christians or e van yell cals. >> in 2008 sfwl in 2008. >> right. >> you've been talking about how that seems to have dramatically changed. >> it has. the "des moines register" poll today, look at the internal numbers. only 34% are self-identifie
