the most entertaining moment of the sparring was provided by newt gingrich. >> speaker gingrich, sounds like we've got a philosophical disagreement. in massachusetts, a mandate, almost no one, uninsured. in texas, a quarter uninsured. who has the better end of this argument? >> i'm frankly not interested in your effort to get republicans fighting each other. >> whoa, speaker rightly pointing out the moderator, brian williams and john harris, are very interested in having the republicans go after each other. makes for good tv and conservatives believe shows a liberal bias. on that subject, a twilight zone alert. the debate was carried on nbnbc. almost immediately after it ended, pundits began calling all the republican candidates morons. i'm sitting there watching this and i'm thinking, why did the gop and the reagan library agree to that environment? it was no interest in providing any balanced analysis. it was yeah, we covered the republicans, but they're all idiots. now for president obama's latest attempt to save the american economy. a called the american jobs act and has good point

newt gingrich is in a lower rank of want to bes. >> we'll get to that in a minute. >> what gingrich istelling the audience, what the media are playing this. politicians realize how important the media are to their story . gingrich is also attacking and saying don't let the media fool you. pay attention to what they are saying it is an interesting acknowledgment to shape politics. >>> and let me ask you the question. he asked governor perry in texas about executing and do you sleep at night. >> if you turn that question on its head. if a conservative columnist ask a pro abortion politician if he could sleep at night and authorize and support abortion. >> that would never be asked. most questions came from the left and like gingrich did and rom no does, you can turn those kinds of questions around to your advantage. the weirdest moment in the debate was hauling out the telemundo guy. are we going to get the black ghy for the civil liberty . religious guy for the. >> over all theme seeps to be that it is a two horse race governor peryegovernor romny. is that the theme. did you see the med

mitt romney performed well, newt gingrich and hemain cain also performed well. bill: you look at the headline and a lot of the political websites and they talk about the texas governor rick perry and how he d i'm going to play a little of the back and forth between whom you mentioned, santorum and the texas governor when it comes to immigration. roll this: >> you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they've been brought there, by no fault of their own. i don't think you have a heart. we need to be educating these children, because they will become a drag on our society. >> most folks who want to go to the state of texas or any other state, out of state, have to pay the full boat. the point is, why are we subsidizing? not that they can't go. they can go. they just have to borrow money, find other sources to be able to go. and why should they be given preferential treatment as an illegal in this country? that's what we're saying. bill: a lot of applause in the arena last night. the least effective in that de

caller: i like newt gingrich. he has a lot of experience and the only republican the field who can claim under his belt that he has balanced a budget, which i think in the last 50 years or longer. he worked with the democrats, yet he still at the same time got conservative policies passed. i think a lot of republicans don't like to admit that. clinton was not as bad as some of these more leftist democrats that we are seeing today. host: there is a story in "the new york times" about those pushing gov. chris christie to run. you can see him tonight at 9:00 on c-span. it says -- manchester, new hampshire. hello to bob. go ahead. caller: how are you? calling from manchester. i don't know if there is a particular title -- newt gingrich, i think i would go for. there is similar to what the other gentleman had said. i wish that there was a presidential candidate out there that i could vote on that would bring all of the troops home, shot our borders down, get the economy rolling back. host: here is a story in "the washi

rhonda from north carolina says herman cain and newt gingrich really helped themselves in the debate nd newt demonstrates a breadth of knowledge unequalled by anybody on the stage. i'm with gretchen. political pundits have written everybody off but perry and romney. >> the e-mail machine is called a computer. >> really? >> thanks. >> from north carolina says this, i think rick santorum, newt gingrich and herman cain were the winners. it would be nice if they had more questions. >> who won last night? the democrats. stop fighting yourselves! i know a lot of people feel that way with every party. you got to actually, to get the nomination, you got to rip the other guy or other woman apart. that's what happened. >> especially if they're the frontrunner. i just tweeted a few minutes ago, what was the surprise shocker that came out of the debate last night from herman cain? you're about to find out right now. you may have known he had stage 4 colon cancer. here's what he said had happened to him if that had happened under president obama. listen to this. >> the reason i said that i would b

. >>> newt gingrich, picking up a big endorsement from the tea party, juddson phillips says newt is the most electable and also impressed with gingrich's debate performances like this one: >> when your brother-in-law is unemployed, it's a recession. when you're unemployed, it's a depression, when jimmy carter is unemployed, it's a recovery. bill: juddson phillips, founder of the tea party nation, with us now. good morning to you sir, how are you in nashville? >> hey bill, i'm good, how are you? >> bill: doing fine. why newt gingrich? >> well, i was looking for someone, i wanted to go ahead and pick who i liked. and there were certain criteria i was looking for, somebody who's conservative, somebody who's electable, somebody who's got some national experience and most importantly, i was looking for somebody who's got vision, not only to be able to dismantle omabacare when they get elected but to start to work on dismantling big government, and when you start looking at all the really great republican candidates that are out there, there's really only one who fulfills all those, particula

one more way quicken loans is engineered to amaze. >>> newt gingrich got good reviews for his debatece. he often tried to teach his rivals a thing or two. i asked him about the key moments of the debate including rick perry's stand on the drawdown of u.s. troops in afghanistan. >> it's time to bring our young men and women home as soon and obviously safely as we can. but it's also really important for us to continue to have a presence there. and i think the entire conversation about how do we deliver our aid to those countries and is it best spent with 100,000 military who have a target on their back in afghanistan, i don't think so at this particular point in time. >> it sounds like, correct me if i'm wrong, mr. speaker, he wants to get out of afghanistan a lot more quickly than you would recommend. >> well, think we have to ask the military what is the most rapid rate at which we could withdraw from afghanistan safely. i think we're drifting towards the most dangerous period in the middle east since the yom kippur war in 1973. the turkish israeli confrontation could become extraord

. >> reporter: newt gingrich unveiled his contract with america thursday hoping the economic plan would give hoom a boost and jon huntsman is moving his campaign headquarters from florida to new hampshire which hold it is first primary. as for georgia businessman herman cain, he's still trying to capitalize on his upset win at the florida straw poll last weekend. a new fox news poll shows him in third place behind romney and perry, his strongest showing yet. primary season could start as soon as january. we could hear today that florida will hold its contest on january 31st, and that could spark a big reaction from staens like iowa, new hampshire, terrell, that have special status. >> susan mcginnis in washington, thank you so much. >>> whoever the gop nominee is, the key issue of campaign 2012 will be the economy. vice president joe biden raised some eye bras during an interview with a florida radio station. he admitted the election will be a referendum on the obama administration's handling of the economy. >> right now we are the ones in charge and it's gotten better, but it hasn't go

coming up, how newt gingrich is trying to prove he's still in the race. >>> but up next, a man accused of impersonating an nfl quarterback makes a court appearance. a live report from northwest washington when 9news now returns. >>> new at 5:30, a date in court for the man police say is pretending to be an nfl start. we've been waiting for steven pittman to go before the judge. >> scott broom is live outside the courthouse. has he made the appearance, scott? >> reporter: it just happened about 20 minutes ago. it's a little complicated because now there are a lot of people who want a piece of this guy, stephan pittman. a judge decided this alleged imposter is going to stay locked up here in washington at least until next wednesday. that gives now the state of texas, yes, texas, a chance to come get him. today the lone star state issued a probation violation warrant for stephan pittman because this man who is accused of pretending to be quarterback vince young here in the d.c. area is a sex offender from denton county, texas, still serving his probation. he could now face two to 20 years

at least two of them chose newt gingrich. huntsman, it, threw his political career away choosing herman cain right out there on the stage. >> on the basis of yellow ties. >> there's a presidential moment for you. >> a smart move to choose a tie color. >> i thought that question was so interesting. it was a good question, actually, i thought. it is the kind of question an expert, someone who is practiced. so there is this real division between the people that knew enough to swat it away. you don't have to answer the question. it is the first thing you've learned and the thing you have to get drilled into your head. being a politician is totally unnatural. human conversation is interaction and answering questions. and you have to unlearn that impulse. the people unlearn that impulse goes furthest as presidential candidates. you really saw in that question, who is ready and who is not? >> can i also second something that chris said. i thought watching rick perry try to get out of his mouth the attack line, the attack lines on mi

. >> sean: i want to show a clip this was newt gingrich.profound what he had to say. i felt that this debate was trying to get your dad fighting with rick perry, perry fighting with romney. i thought newt gingrich nailed the media on this and nbc. i don't believe they were interested in hearing ideas or going after the president's record. they didn't scrutinize barack obama this way in 2008. i want you to watch this piece by newt gingrich and get your reaction. >> since i still have a little time left, let me say. i hope all of my friends up here are going to repudiate every effort of the news media to get republicans to fight each other to protect barack obama who deserves to be defeated and all of us committed as a team whoever the nominee is, we are all for defeating barack obama. >> sean: that was a great moment. i'm not concerned about your efforts to get republicans fighting with each other. i thought about this, especially in light of the press that your dad was fighting with governor perry. >> newt hit it on the head twice last nigh

newt gingrich is here, michelle bachmann, mr. herman cain and rick santorum. first, former governor sarah palin goes on the record from wasilla, alaska. good evening governor. >> hi how are you? >> greta: very well. what did you think of the tea party debate cnn tea party debate? >> i was very pleased with this debate. very excited about the validation of the tea party movement. the hook-up with a major news network, cnn and more power to cnn for allowing that validation of this grassroots tea party movement participants from all over the nation being able as a voice of we the people asking questions of these potential presidents. very, very wonderful debate in terms of the whole forum and the venue that was chosen. the winner in this really i believe was the tea party movement and validation of what it is that we've been talking about for two years now. where we've been saying obama's big centralized government, his agenda that replicates some of the socialized government policies of some european countries, doesn't work. you saw a group tonight there on stag

you paid visits to jesse helms, newt gingrich. was that time well invested? i do believe it was in the long run. jesse helms and i-- we must never forget that he's a courtly southern gentleman, and he's not an uncivil person at all in person. he's quite charming, in fact. he and i obviously were going differ on many, many things, but he was an important person and an important person to get to know, to pay attention to. i tried to understand what amendments he was going to bring up. of course, he would never tell me. he's a secretive man too. but i didn't want to alienate this person any more than he already felt alienated. he was disappointed in me, because i didn't do a lot of things that he wanted me to do. but at least we had a civil relationship. at one point, you get a list of concerns from jesse helms' office detailing a number of grants that are attributed to the n.e.a. and in some cases, the n.e.a. is not involved at all. but in a number of cases, it's extremely controversial art where there may have been some funds used in connection with the n.e.a.

just like newt gingrich, just run so we can get this over with. >> laura: chris christie, i know you like him a lot and other folks who haven't got into this race, but given how bad things are in the country right now, the polls that we just referenced previous segment, 70% plus of the country thinking we're on the wrong track. consumer confidence at an all-time low. obama is in the toilet with his numbers. we need these people who are smart to be in this race and i actually think it's borderline irresponsible if you can win the presidency and take these people down, you've got to get in the race. even if i don't like people like jeb bush. >> i would follow up with that by saying, because there is an incorrect statement that is often made by many conservatives out there. yes, it's true that liberals will accuse some republicans of being unelectable, just because they don't want to face those republicans. but that doesn't mean there is no such thing as unelectable. and similarly, yes, it's true, that liberals will call even smart conservatives stupid. that doesn't mean when a liberal

i think newt gingrich knows he's not going to win.nk herman cain knows. rick santorum may not win, but he's clearly trying to do something in this race. those remarks he made the other day about he's forgotten more about foreign policy in the middle east than rick perry ever knew shows that he's got a strategy right now and if he continues that, if he really steps up -- >> bill: why do you think santorum is doing that? he knows he can't win the nomination. is he looking to have a cabinet position in a romney presidency or something? >> i can't read his mind or heart, but i was struck this week by how hard he went up against rick perry. also it's also only path to the nomination. his only path -- >> bill: michelle bachman is a different story. she's going to go after perry, has to go after perry because perry has taken some of her support. and get her mojo back in iowa, she's got to go after him. but the santorum thing is interesting. go ahead. >> i think it's very interesting, i agree. and i think both of the possibilities you raise c

let's start with newt gingrich's most recent book. >> very excited to be having our next book with newtgingrich. we have done several books over the past six years with new. they have all been be best sellers. of course he is a leading figure in the conservative marketplace, on the republican states, and, in fact, has driven, and a lot of ways, the discussion about the important topics that are going to be coming up in this election cycle. this book is a little bit different from the books we have done with him before because previously his books were very policy heavy and talked about a lot of solutions for problems that we face. and what he's doing with this book, which is called a nation like no other, facing a more historical viewpoint. perfect -- perfectly poised to do because he is a historian and talking about what makes this country exceptional, great, and how we are in danger of losing bats. one of the most interesting things he said to me was that in polls across the country when you ask americans, do you believe in american exceptional is and they all say, oh, yes, we do. whe

>> no, no, whether it's rick perry, whether it's newt gingrich, whether it's -- no, no. >> you mean newtgrich would carry texas? boy, that is a blistering assault on the president. >> it's a very republican state, not just -- it's not just a republican state. the theme here, and one of the reasons why rick perry has won again and again, and there's lots of reasons, is because he understands that while mimi is right, the establishment, many people look in a far way about the higher education spending and public education spending and they are concerned about what's happened in our state. that is more than offset by a general instinct in this state that government is the enemy. the less money you give to government, the better it is. that is a big constituency. >> okay. let's go to a tougher question. i really want to get to this. you wrote this provocative piece. i want to know how hard you go on this. i don't think it's a question of articulateness or failure to prepare for a debate. i sensed watching the face of governor perry in these debates, i'm not saying that as being cute, why am

i would say newt gingrich would be the guy i would pick as someone who would follow through with whatker gingrich? >> i'm going to disappoint those in the audience who want this to be a hollywood game. i don't have any idea who i would pick as vice presidential nominee. it would have to be a person capable of being president of the united states. that would be the first criteria. these are all good friends of mine. i couldn't imagine hurting any of their feelings by choosing one tonight. >> bret: congressman paul, hurt away. >> i don't plan to make a choice at the moment, because i am on national polls. it seems like i'm in third place now. i think it would be inappropriate. as soon as i'm one of the two top tier then i would start thinking along that line. right now i'm going to defer and work hard and make sure i stay on the top tieer and eventually be one of the top two. >> bret: governor perry? >> staying with the game show idea here, i don't know how you would do this. but if you could take herman cain and mate him up with newt gingrich, i think you would have a couple of really

joining us live, the republican presidential candidate, newt gingrich.e you back in "the situation room." >> always great to be back with you. you did a great job last night. >> oh, thank you very much. let's talk a little bit about last night because i want to go through some of the issues and see where you stand. i had this exchange with ron paul, the congressman from texas on a sensitive subject. a healthy 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides you know what, i'm not going to spend 200 or $300 a month for health insurance. something terrible happens, all of a sudden, he needs it. who is going to pay if he goes into a coma? >> in a society that you accept welfare and socialism, he expecting the government to take care of him. what he should do is whatever he wants. my advice to him would be have a major medical policy. >> he doesn't have that and needs intensetive care for six months. who pays? >> that's what freedom is all about. you take risks. but congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die? >> no

newt gingrich joining us live from iowa.up next, is dr. conrad murray the new casey anthony? peter johnson, jr. thinks so. he's up next. first, let's check be in for a preview of what happens at the top of the hour with bill hemmer. >> good morning to you. breaking news on the jobs front. the government doled out a billion dollars to two more green energy companies. the congressmannen is asking a lot of questions about this joins us live. new fox polling on the republican field, a lot of surprises in there. and some stunners for democrats. martha and i will see new about ten minutes here on "america's newsroom" 1 and i get my financing from ge capital. but i also get stuff that goes way beyond banking. we not only lend people money, we help them save it. [ junior ] ge engineers found ways to cut my energy use. [ cheryl ] more efficient lighting helps junior stay open later... [ junior ] and serve more customers. so you're not just getting financial capital... [ cheryl ] you're also getting human capital. not just money. know

here's newt gingrich this morning defending the use of lethal force against anwar al awlaki, who was an american citizen. let's watch. >> american citizens engage in war against the united states are legitimate targets and i think it was an appropriate and correct thing to execute him. >> so they give up the right to due process? >> absolutely -- they got due process. the president signed an order the kill them. that was due process. i think president obama did the right thing and i praise him for having had the courage to stand up and defend america against somebody who was clearly engaged in trial to kill americans. >> by the way, that's newt talk. execution, assassinate, that's ridiculous. he shot an enemy in the field. that's what the president did. anyway, it's newt screwing up things with his awful language. anyway, ron paul, as i just said, criticized the action. let's give paul his time in court here. let's listen to ron paul criticize the action. >> this really is a huge deal, an andrea. after killing bin laden, i think awlaki was really the number two target. no one was mor

american presidential candidate newt gingrich coming out today with a 21st century. where is he going to do it? iowa. the first state to vote. his spokes people tell us he typed a lot of what is in this contract on his thumbs. will it boost him in the polls? maybe, maybe not. >> all right, now, some primary date shuffling going on right now, too, right? >> you and i and the rest of us have been talking about this for a couple days. today, georgia down your way and south carolina right next to georgia, they're both going to announce when they're going to hold their primaries. tomorrow, as we've been reporting, we expect florida to say they're going to hold their primary on the 31st of january. what does that mean? that means new hampshire, iowa, south carolina and nevada, which are supposed to go first are probably going to all move up into early january if florida actually stays with the 31 it. we're not sure where georgia is going to go. this all means for the candidates, well, they better speed things up because now they have one less month to campaign and reach ou

rick perry wants to mate newt gingrich and herman cain. >> yeah. >> i think it's because of their georgiag. >> funny, three people picked gingrich, three people picked herman cane cain and rick perry picked them both. >> who are the two candidates everybody fears the least on the stage. >> right. >> hate to say that, in a weird way, that's not good for newt and herman cain that everybody is picking them. >> it's true. made for an open moment. this image of them mating up. >> don't ask, don't tell issue is -- >> well, no. funny, let's transition. there was a question where the audience reaction, again, like we've had in previous debate. the audience reaction was somewhat more surprising than anything asked or said. here's the question from a gay soldier. >> -- deployed to iraq i had to lie about who i was because i'm a gay soldier, and i didn't want too lose my job. my question is under one of your presidencies do you intend to circumvent the progress made for gay and less bobian soldiers man the military? >> i would say any type of sexual activity has absolutely no place in the military.
