i'm unhappy with the liberal democrat who i voted for so i'm going to vote for jerry springer's producer -- >> well, yeah, it is counterintuitive but i think they were -- in the back of their minds to a certain degree it was we kind of have a free pass on this. the seat is going to get redistricted out of existence in 2012, he's only going to be in power for a year, the stakes aren't that high. the other thing compounding this, lawrence, is those that stayed home. that's another serious problem for the white house. if there is a considerable amount of a base that is just not going to the polls on election day in 2012, that's a big problem for president obama. as much as a fired up conservative base is. >> look, i am very new york centric tonight in this news because i learned my politics in new york politics. and the only political campaigns i've worked on were in new york state politics. so this shocks me to the core that they could -- staten island is the unique piece of new york city that always votes republican. mostly votes republican. because it's an island unto itself. it's a sepa

"conduct unbecoming of a congressman"? you archimedean bid this is the canary in the coal mine. on the issue of the economy and obama, it is a real message that democrats are in trouble nationwide. >> democrats and republicans are in trouble nationwide. the electorate is furious with both sides. 27% want to throw everybody out, 28% are frustrated. 30% wish they would compromise. -- 38% w

jerry springer is here, the former mayor of cincinnati. billy dean also joins us. and chief of brightbart tv. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: i don't know if i should do this, but i'll go to jerry first on this. i know you agree with president obama. but aren't the people who have been successful in this nation already paying their fair share? they make up the majority of the taxes coming into this country to begin with. >> well, obviously wealthy people pay more because they have more. you're not going to get a lot of money out of poor people or lower income people. so that's true. i don't think the question is fair share and that kind of thing. what amazes me is we're in tough economic times. certainly just taxing people that make millions of dollars isn't going to solve the deficit problem. but why are we getting so bent out of shape because people -- and i'm one of the lucky ones -- if you ask me to pay a little more money, why not? i love this country. we are so fine to send our sons and daughters halfway around the world to fight and die in

almost looks like an episode 0 out of jerry springer but it is crazy. would think with all the money they have they could get it together. this guy is russia's media mogul, aleksandr lebedev. the comments he's hearing from his business rival, right there in the black, as we can see, sergey polonsky, just don't sit so well with him. the hee heated debate is on the global kmik crisis. the debate is heated and heated and he loses his cool, aleksandr lebedev in the gray and socks him and his opponent fool falls to the ground. you would think, he is one of the richest men in the world believe it or not. >> good tv. >>> finally talk about october fest. we hear a lot about october fest but this is the mother of all october fests. >> this is the largest beer festival in the world and we are expected to see 7 million tourists at this thing. how much beer do you think they will consume over this three-week extrav ganz is a. >> i was shocked to find out. there is a website and they estimate 6 million liters, don. that's a lot of beer. >> that picture made me thirs

against a guy who has never held public office, who actually was one of the creators of "the jerry springeruld have trouble beating. >> it has been more conservative in recent years. barack obama when he ran for president got only 55% of the vote in the congressional district. this particular person ran against anthony weiner this past november, kind of got a head start in the district and got 40% of the vote. so he's still not clearing 50% and we have other polls that show, you know, much closer and myself ahead as well. so, you know, again, i'm pretty confident we're getting our message out the last couple days which are not reflected in those polls. there's a clear difference between us. my opponent wants to cut the federal budget by 35%. he totally wants to eliminate the department of education, the department of agriculture. he calls epa officials wackos. you know, i'm clearly, you know, standing for preserving social security and medicare, creating jobs. i support, you know, the basic principles in the president's proposal on jobs. i'd like to see middle class tax cuts and small busin

he's an executive and is responsible for help getting the jerry springer show produced way back in the. >> that's his badge of honor. >> but this race has really turned and this has become about weprin and they put him on the defensive early. you have an orthodox jew losing in a jewish community. >> losing to a catholic. and they have been using the mosque, the ground zero, the controversy about having a mosque and the fact of the matter is it wasn't necessarily a mosque, it was a muslim community center and it was going to be within a stone's throw of ground zero. >> that's not an -- as a republican that's a pretty hot button issue but special elections are all about getting out your base. >> what is the base? the base is what? is it a pretty -- is this coming down to israel? >> well, look, bob turner is getting a third of democrats in this race. so as nathan mentioned, you know, we're getting out -- democrats are trying to get out their vote, but if one out of every three voters is going for turner, then who knows what their turnout operation is like. >> nathan, let's move quickly to

. >> reporter: turner is best known as the creator of "the jerry springer show," and is a newcomer to politics. but the shockwaves of his victory extand far beyond brooklyn and queens. democrat lost because of no small part because of how unpopular president obama is, even here, in a district that he had won by double digits in 2008. former new york mayor, ed koch, a democrat, crossed party lines to support the republican. saying, he wanted to send president obama a message. >> mr. president, listen to us. >> reporter: some of new york's biggest named democrats held the seat over the years. including chuck schumer, geraldine ferraro, and most recently anthony weiner, who resigned in disgrace in june, of sending inappropriate photos of himself to women on twitter. and republicans prevailed in the only other special election last ght. scoring a victory in nevada by a 22-point landslide. george? >> democrats say that was a district held by republicans in the last election. but this new york seat, jon, this is troublesome. it could spell trouble for the president, you say beyond new york,

i mean, we're not -- i love jerry springer. he's a friend of mine.at? i'm not going to cross that. i'm not going there. >> i don't get into -- i don't get into religion anymore. i don't think it's -- i think racism is passe, in terms of that kind of violent conflict on the set. geraldo set that stage many years ago. so, we don't do that. >> let's talk about connie. >> okay. >> how many years now have you been together? >> gee whiz. 27. 28th anniversary coming up. it's amazing. she -- you talk about my career. i mean, to me, she is -- she's the best of everything involved in television, journalism. she set the stage. she broke down barriers that were there for a long time before she came along, in terms of women, and in terms of asian women. and you know, i started out as mr. chung. and i will be mr. chung forever. >> i don't think so. but i will ask you this. as you speak about her, your eyes light up. what would you say the secret is to a lasting romance? >> connie has always said that the secret to our marriage has been don't spend too much time wi
