perry, welcome back to iowa. senator cruz was here last month and it's good to have another texan in the hawkeye state. over the past few weeks, it's thate increasingly clear america is a nation without executive leadership. as president obama refuses to compromise on out-of-control spending and continues engaging in partisan fights, americans should look to republican- governed the states for how to assign defect to ban the good government and that's the way we should be operating. and the democratic stronghold of new jersey, chris christie brought fiscal common sense to the governor's mansion and after years of budget mismanagement at east coast liberals, governor aris christie has signed three straight balanced budgets without raising taxes. what a novel concept? how about that?

i go des moines, iowa people say you don't come from des moines, iowa. i grew up there. several years ago, as an effort to try to prove to the world that i really did come from there. i wrote a book about growing up in iowa during the '50s. it was such a fantastic time to grow up in america in the '50s. i think it was a magical place. i'm sure childhood whatever happens to you is kind of a splendid event. i think to have grown up in the middle of the country in the middle of the 20th century in a nice happy middle class household was a real privilege. and my job was almost totally happy. particularly adored my mother. my mother -- is still alive she's an absolutely saint of a woman. she work at home furnishing as " des moines register." she would rush home. stop at the store to get food and rush to the house and throw something to the oven and then tough the rest of the house to do the thousand chores that piled up. the washing, ironing, and so on. she was a little bit forgetful anyway. because she had so much on the mind she would tend to forget about the things in oven

competing in the iowa caucuses. the only thing i regret is taking that really big white out of that vedge i have corny dog at the state fair. i will probably see that one again sometime. as the son of a farmer, i feel very comfortable coming here. i think it is your midwestern values, your sense of community, your love of country, and your deep and abiding faith that remind me of the place i grew up in. called paint creek. the only difference is we rarely had any snow. we specialize in cattle instead of hogs and we grew cotton instead of corn. i speak tonight out of a love of deep concern for our country. we have lost our way. our national debt is approximately the size of our national g.d.p. and best i can tell, there is no serious plan for us to address that. the number of americans on foods has more than doubled over the last decade. secretary mill sack once called the food stamp program called it an economic stimulus. food stamps are not the solution to economic problems. they are a symptom of the problem.

can you play in places like iowa and south carolina? >> i'm playing in new jersey, and this's what i care about. on tuesday, 61% votes statewide, the fact is, nearly a 40% turnaround from a democrat at the top of the ticket to a republican. majority of the hispanic vote. here's why, because they look at the record. 143,000 new private sector jobs. 2.3 billion in tax cuts. spending less this year in fiscal 2014 than in '08. and reforming a pension benefit system to save $120 billion. people voted on the record of what we have done. i'm proud of that. and how that plays everywhere else is for the washington pundits to figure out. i'm the governor of new jersey and that's what i asked for more than four years. >> all four years? >> listen, who knows? i don't know. i'll guarantee to do my job and finish the job. i didn't expect to be sitting here four years ago, george. so, nobody can make those predictions. >> one issue that's sure to come up is immigration, you got a majority of the latino vote in your re-election. and you're for a path t

the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. [inaudible] the presiding officer: the senator is recognized. mr. grassley: i'm going to vote not to bring up the nomination of judge wilkins. i have some concerns about his record but i'm not going to focus on those concerns today because there's a lot bigger issues that we're dealing with. i have said it before and i'll say it again, by the standard the democrats established in the year 2006, we shouldn't confirm any more judges to the d.c. circuit, especially when those additional judges cost approximately $1 million per year, per judge. the fact of the matter is that this d.c. circuit that they want to make three more appointments to -- and this will be the third of these appointments we've dealt with -- that that circuit is underworked. the statistics makes i make it abundantly clear, but i'm not going to go through them all again, as i have in the past. i will mention a couple of brief points regarding the caseload. d.c. circuit ranks last, for instance, in both the number of ap

the question is how do iowa republicans respond to that? >> i mean, my suspicion is they won't respond it to very well. there's certainly a path in which christie can become the republican nominee without winning in iowa, which john mccain did. he has to figure out how to translate this message. he accepted the medicaid funding under obama care. he has to translate to more conservative voters in the south. he'll need some tea party voters to support him. how does he translate that and explain some of that as he goes looking forward. the next race is the primary in 2016 and that is full of conservative-looking voters. >> you know, beth, when you have -- and the last days of the campaign, particularly in a state off-year election, you see plenty of outsiders. they get brought in to help with get out the vote efforts because you want to build a crowd. that's not what chris christie did yesterday. he toured the state with susana martinez, not a household name in the state of new jersey, a republican hispanic governor from the state of new mexic

it is iowa, rick perry in iowa. given the failure of his campaign, brief campaign last time around, there's no question he's looking at this. >> he's looking. i watched him in iowa. i thought he had a lot of natural potential just in terms of his capacity to connect with people. >> four years ago. >> but glasses or no glasses, based on his performance in the debates, i sort of have a hard time taking it seriously. i think i do have an answer to his question being from new jersey. a conservative in new jersey is not the same as a conservative in texas. that's going to be the interesting thing to watch on governor christie going forward. >> i want to talk about we have a poll coming out tomorrow. we anticipate what we're going to read about the president's numbers. you have the incredible interview with the president. watching it from afar last week, it was a stunning interview with the president's apology. >> this week, what we're going to learn this week, what do they have? they are trying to come up with a fix for

>> never too early to come to iowa.hat's what i discovered. >> is it too early for people to be asking the 2016 question? >> i don't think it's too early. it's part of the process. they are going to ask their questions and we will give our answers. it's too early for me to make decisions. i have 14 months of governing in texas. and red state blue stayed conversation to have. >> we agree it's never too early. for months he has been mounding a non-traditional campaign not only about that, but picking fights with blue state governors over jobs. running radio and tv ads with the texas jobs climate and he took a ten-day economic tour and he got into a high profile tangle with the president this week. president obama in texas to sell the health care law accused him of bull headedness for opposing the expansion of medicaid in his state. perry returned the favor. >> today we are watching this new national health care law literally unravel before our eyes. the president said no one would lose their health plan except of course t

speaking on an iowa radio program, he made this stunning assertion. >> w. he was accused of 16 words in the state of the union address that they said was a lie, and they're still attacking him for that. and i'll tell you i've had hands-on evidence that what george bush said in that state of the union address was the truth, and he was still punished for it. >> if you're wondering what evidence king has to prove that bush was right all along, you're probably not alone. the question is if he really possessed information that could have proven iraq was indeed seeking uranium, why wouldn't he have spoken up? tylenol cold® helps relieve your worst cold and flu symptoms. but for everything we do, we know you do so much more. tylenol cold®. \ s clay. mom? come in here. come in where? welcome to my mom cave. wow. sit down. you need some campbell's chunky soup before today's big game, new chunky cheeseburger. mmm. i love cheeseburgers. i know you do. when did you get this place? when i negotiated your new contract, it was part of the deal. cool.

you've been in iowa. you know those states. you know how tough it is. do you see chris christie doing well in any of those states? >> i think it depends on how he campaigns and what he does. this is a guy who first of all -- nobody ever wants to look at this option. you put together a new jersey, pennsylvania, new york, new england, california and you are a long way towards the nomination without having to do any of the traditional things. >> skip the primary? >> you don't skip them, but i'm just saying you can build a very big system that is very much -- you go to a place like iowa. remember the current governor of iowa is a moderate conservative, not a hard liner. and he is the most elected figure in iowa history, i think. at least at the governor level. so i think that these states are complicated. what the country wants is real change. 80% of the country dislikes washington. i think we will nominate a governor in all probability. and you have to say that chris christie is on the short list of people. he's not the front runner because nobody is, but

he comes from iowa. first caucus beginning of the 2016, a lot of people he plays to will be played to by rand paul. >> what do they think? >> beyond iowa, beyond iowa and beyond the laughter, this is a serious issue and problem in american life. we just had an hour laughing at and enjoying the extreme statements of these people, but these people are important in american politics and not just because of iowa but because they represent a strain in american life that is very large right now in which there's no faith in any source of authority. >> it's more fun to laugh. we'll be right back after this. you find that certain thing you were looking for here, but actually you get so much more. when you shop at these small local businesses, you support all the things that make your community great. the money you spend here, stays here. in this place you call your neighborhood. tomorrow is small business saturday. get out and shop small. >>> obviously doesn't hurt too much to laugh because we've had a lot of fun

come to iowa and let's test it out.personal belief is if you could take the best combination of nature and nurture that would be the ideal president, and put them in the oval office of the white house today, they wouldn't be near the president they would be after they went through crucible of the nomination process. it gives you the awareness to sell your wares and shape your platform. they'll be a lot better after they've gone through all those states. we'll see if chris christie can stand up to that. there are a number of candidates that will be competing. >> always good to talk to you. we'll talk about that much more will. >>> our seventh story is demanding answers on benghazi. it has been more than a year since the attack on the embassy and lawmaker say they are waiting for the truth. tonight cnn is learning about some key unanswer questions. drew griffin has been digging into the benghazi investigation. where are the new concerns coming from? >> concerns from a letter, they are writing to house speaker john boehner
