>> greta: former new york city mayor rudy guiliani is here on the phone. good evening. >> how are you, greta? >> greta: very well. mayor, obviously, representative ryan wants to keep this discussion on the economy, as does governor romney. there is a lot of push from the other side, the democrats, to bring this question back to issues of abortion, congressman akin. how does the candidate ryan keep this on the economy? >> i think he did today. he did exactly the right thing today. he talked about the fact that the economy is going through the worst recovery we have had in our lifetime. the four years of obama have been a disaster for our economy. if the american people were go to go to the polls and ask if you are better off than we were four years ago, we would probably throw him out 60-40. obama and biden are trying to get the focus on something else. the new york times helps them, the two main articles on the front page were about congressman akin. hard to believe when they never put biden's remarks even on the front page. here we are talking about a sit

. >> jon: talk about that, rudy guiliani, the former republican candidate for president and new yorky mayor questioned biden's mental acuity. i mean, is anybody asking that question? >> yeah, i'm not as concerned about that as i am about the fact that i just think that he-- first of all, i think's overrated i would never go as far as to question his mental acuity. he's been overrated, he's been presented an an important policy genius since he's been in the senate since he's 30. i think part of the reason that biden gets such a pass and it's one of the problems in washington is that he has been schmoozing with these reporters and editors for the last 30 years. he has, now, everyone loves to go to his parties and i think that people cut him slack because of that. >> jon: and you in the audience didn't see it, but every single head at the table was nodding when kirsten made that remark. that's really all it takes, schmooze the press? >> absolutely. the worst thing you can do is ignore the media, if you ignore us, we create our own narrative and call you to task on saying-- >> excuse me,

back in '08, rudy guiliani always went everywhere in his full mayor outfit, the coat and the tie.se days, you know, mitt romney wears blue jeans, open-neck shirt. the president is out in khakis and a sports shirt, going through iowa. it's a very casual campaign trail. >> greta: the viewers got a picture of president obama throwing the first pitch in the all-star game. he had mom jeans on. so he gotoon early taste of the criticism and the fashion thing. they made fun of his jeans then. this article is written cleverly and says at one point tlooked lyle like paul ryan had flown in hours before, mistakenly picked up someone else's suitcase, rumpled, slightly sloppy and looked like he is a rumpled think-tank policy sort of guy. >> that's when he is, mast. and the other thing is that they're not trying to dress like hipsters or dress like -- you know, a thousand-dollar-an hour lawyer in new york. they are going out to iowa. they are going to wisconsin, where paul ryan is from. there is no way they want to be outdressed in some really fancy, expensive outfit. >> greta: i am dying to see

his record in new jersey -- minutes on his record in new jersey, but it's a little bit like rudy guiliani talking about what people thought could not be done in new york which he got accomplished with a lot of help from a strong staff. he's done the same thing as chris christie in new jersey. so i think the predicate of the speech which was hey, it can be done, we've done it in a tough place like new jersey. now we need to do it in the country obviously with the romney/ryan ticket completed the speech. a few folks thought it went maybe a few minutes too long on the new jersey record, but it is an outstanding record. >> bob ehrlich, maryland chair for the romney campaign, former governor, thank you for chatting with us. we'll have you again later on this evening. >> look forward to it. >>> coming up on 9news a fiery crash lights up the night sky and shuts down a major 95 interchange for the entire morning. kristen. >> reporter: i'm live at fedex field, redskins/tampa bay going for the preseason finale. i'll tell you what to look for coming up in sports. >> we're monitoring the track of tro

i think about it, we guiliani -- rudy giuliani was my predecessor. his job was convincing the public that you could have low crime and good race relations and that any mayor that came after him would not be able to allow a crime to go back up. since then, we have brought crime back down another 35%. we will have the lowest number of murders in the city's history. life expectancy, partly because of low murders in new york city, is now three years greater than the average in america. but i could not let crime go up. i would just get beaten in the press every sing day if i did. that is not the reason i brought crime down. that is not the reason ray kelly is i think the best police commissioner the city has ever had. t the public would not tolerate it. what we have got to do in education is try to create an expectation of the public they will not tolerate the reform's going away -- reforms going away. the teachers union will certainly put a lot of pssure on the candidates in the democratic primary. the democratic primary is everything. they will put an a

. >> juan: jeanine, in fact, john mccain, who famously picked sarah palin and rudy guiliani are both saying it's time for biden to go. a little different than the message coming from karl rove. so what are republicans thinking here? looks like there is some division in the ranks even as they're calling attention to joe biden. and i wonder if they're doing that because of concern about too much focus on paul ryan at this point. >> well, as a conservative, as a republican, i really tonight care what they do with biden. i think they want to keep him on, take him off, whatever they want to do. i think it's really sort of the moot point for us. i'm more interested in romney and ryan and all these crazy things that are being said and that the obama campaign is going for rhetoric and attacking personally, whereas romney is trying to stick to the issues and ryan. i would rather focus on romney and ryan. >> juan: jeanine, earlier you mentioned torre and some outrageous comments he made on msnbc. let's take a look. >> he's really trying to use racial coding and access deep stereotypes about th

thanks to mayor guiliani and mayor bloomberg, new york's become a very safe big city. but a shooting like this on the streets in front of one of the premier buildings in new york creates an atmosphere that could at least in the short run depress tourism. and of course so much of new york's economy is based on tourism. >> right. >> so you really -- you know, so many thoughts go through your head when you're mayor and something like this happens. you want to make sure people know it's an aberration, that it wasn't a normal street crime. it wasn't a robbery. it was over a firing on the job. you try to create as best a spin as you can from it. but it's extraordinarily difficult. and i know that this wasn't the case here. it's not aurora. it's not tucson. it's not virginia tech. but lord knows we have to have a real discussion about guns in this country and i don't know if you noticed the virginia tech survivors and family victims join the tucson family of victims calling on both governor romney and president obama to present to the people a plan for how we'll start curbing

but she lied, according to rudy guiliani last night on hannity. she ought to get canned, he says.a presidential candidate responsible for the death of someone, she was laughing. i prosecuted a lot of people. i saw somebody laughing at an allegation like that, i'd say, this woman's got a lot to hide. to say that the president is surrounded by liars is a pretty accurate charge and who the heck wants to be surrounded by liars? what's obama going to do about her? nothing. you going to keep that liar on his campaign? >> obviously. >> well, then that says something about the president and his own integrity if that's the case. i would ask for her to be dismissed from the campaign. >> anna: this is going to be very tough for the president to disassociate himself from this ad when initially his campaign was saying, no, we had no idea and then they're backtracking when reporters are pressing him saying, wait a minute, we were on a conference call with him. so now they're having to kind of fess up to it. the romney campaign is asking them to denounce the ad. they have yet to do so. one other

but rudy guiliani, he thinks it would be a good idea. here's what he said about joe biden. >> i think if it came from somebody serious we would get xcited. the vice-president of the united states is a laugh line on late night television. i never seen a vice-president that has made as many mistakes and says stupid things. a real fear if he is ever entrusted with the capacity if he has the mental capacity to handle it. he's not bright. >> steve: during the campaign when joe biden referred to barack obama as articulate and bright and clean . people said, wait a minute, and he went back and apologized for that. keep in mind he's the second most powerful person on the planet. joe biden is the vice-president . not only saying mitt romney will put you back in chains and he told the states and all of those people were listening in he confused north carolina with virginia. he said this in virginia, listen. >> i am with you and with you. we k can win north carolina again and if we do, we win the election if we win you. >> eric: cutting him slack.

rudy guiliani last week questioned his stability and what not and he was on face the nation yesterdayear from robert gibbs. >> i she sarah palin actual israeli operating at a level quite a bit above joe biden. this is one joke after another. you can't escape that. i mean, last week, wrong state. last week, wrong century. last week, that was an absolutely blatant appeal to racism. it was -- they're going to put you back in chains. emphasized the word back. it was on a teleprompter. that's disgusting and somebody in the democratic party, in addition to governor wilder who had the guts to do it, should be able to stand up and say, joe, i'm not going too far. joe biden is going too far. >> is joe biden a drag on the ticket? >> absolutely not. i'm happy to have joe biden out campaigning, telling his story to the american people. putting in front of people the choice that's going to happen in this election. i'm happy and proud of joe biden and i'm happy and proud to have him out on the trail every day. >> brian: the story in one of those books written about the obama administration that whe
