accusation made against yeltsin is he was such a pendulum person he would go to such extremes if it was for on the democrat democracy issue the economy issue defense security i mean first he embraced the west by the end when you look at the cost of zero experience yeltsin felt that he had been betrayed by the west but that there was that pendulum i don't agree with this because it was not yeltsin it was the west they changed it to russia. in one thousand nine hundred one the west was applauding russia and unfortunately the country was collapsing. and then in the end of the ninth just when russia tried to say something the west suddenly became very critical so it was not yeltsin which changed it was their digital that or the west that changed us for it here my thinking about again two very distinct process. yeltsin was a democrat in the early ninety's by the end of the ninety s. he was a different person talking about their political system it became very difficult to access hear him much more difficult than to access gorbachev in the end of weakness there were all kinds of weird people

>> mbusiness partner jamie shore, and i felt strongly that the pendulum had swung so far toward consolidation in the industry, and there were so many 11 locations that closed and that there was actually a whole line in the market for a small, nimble, truly independent theater. the reason all the theaters in washington closed, all the cinemas' closed that we love when i was g growing up, our macro ecomic issues. it has n nothing to do wi washingtonians not g going to the movies. this is a great market for moviegoers especially for the kindf films that we show. >> that is what i was going to say -- it is more of a refined pate in the washinon area, it seems there is a need for that but there i is also the need for being a jack of all trades to save money. it is worth noting that you have added along to the cinema experience, and higher level of food and beverage at ur cinema. tell viewers what they can expect. >>he folks he at tbd.com voted us bt popcorn in washington, which we are very proud of and talk about every chance we can get. we also have a full liquor license, and we have a a comny in

now have the pendulum may swing toward mitt romney which makes tonight's debate potentially crucial in trajectory toward the primary on tuesday. >> bret: more on this with the panel. thank you. let's talk more about crucial constituency in florida. americans who are spending their sunset years in the sunshine state. steve harrigan tells us about the senior vote. >> the most powerful vote move slowly. seniors make up one-third of the florida republicans but because of their vote, the influence is especially greater. >> i want to see the country come back to -- >> reporter: what many say they are looking for is less of the specific policy on social security or medicare and more a personal quality in the candidate. a toughness. >> i want a man to stand up for a man or woman to stand up and say i'm going to fight for this country, to bring it back where it was. >> everybody hates the american. we've become the ugly american. why? we have no one to stand up for us. >> the last three members. one, four, six. [ applause ] >> reporter: one-third of florida's seniors rely entirely on their soci

the pendulum has sort of swung. while my counterpart side was very good and effective at social media, internet outreach in 2008, the other side let's just be frank was not. i think finally the republican side has caught up to this, and you're going to see a very aggressive effort in 2012 to use the internet in a way that frankly imitation is the best form of flattery, and that's the first thing i think you're going to see this year. but the second thing that is going to be different this year involves the move act, and 120 secretary perez noted was a warm-up year where everybody was sort of getting their sea legs. but one of the things that you'll see in 2012 is a lot of groups on the ground in the next few months registering military voters. there's concerted effort not only for move act enforcement, but for military voter registration on military bases throughout the country, at outposts and towns such as for example fayetteville, north carolina where you have a very large military population. this, once again, h

ten amendments content commandments out of state courthouses i think that it's pretty clear the pendulum has swung re are in the christianity direction now and for new making an attack on president obama of respecting all religions. well it was ludicrous only in the g.o.p. just being open minded individual mean that you're doing something wrong so for wanting christianity to be respected more than other religions practiced in the united states despite the fact that it goes completely against the constitution g.o.p. presidential candidate newt gingrich is tonight's told time when. our guys it's time for a happy hour and joining me tonight is lauren lyster host of the capital account here on r.t.e. and comedian lafayette right hey guys thanks for joining me as well why i welcome to the show but. we're going to start this evening off with reminding us ourselves what it's like when obama likes to sing a song. the was. loose was. now let's compare that with what happens when mitt romney tries to sing a song. oh beautiful for spacious skies for. i mean. there are ads i just don't get any bette

santorum and ron paul, joining us, how they'll tell to stop the former spooker's surge and swing the pendulumo them. >> and coming to you live from the fox news studios in washington d.c. i hope you're ready for the long haul. a week ago it appeared that mitt romney might be wrapping up the run for the white house. a funny thing happened on the way to the white house. rick santorum declared the the winner of the iowa caucuses and newt gingrich turned elite media into sheer smackdown and two candidates who bowed out in the middle of the south carolina primary and newt grib gingrich, and the leader has changed more than a kim kardashian boyfriend. a takes 1144 delegates to win the nomination and no one has more than 33 committed delegates. there will be calls for one or more delegates to bow out and clear the path. and i heard that four years ago and my response now is the same as then, shut up. decision to drop out of a race is a tough one. if a candidate is out of money and has to start borrowing to continue. maybe that's a good reason to quit. if one's own family, friends and supporters star

right now, the pendulum has swung too far. we can't take fannie, freddie, fha out of the market at the time we may need them the most. >> obviously, this has become a center of a lot of the figing we're seeing between newt gingrich and mitt romney. newt gingrich oh, well, you were paid by fannie and freddie and that has become a shorthand for you were a bad guy. are they bad? >> fannie and freddie, whether they're good or bad, they're an integral part of our housing system right now. >> can't shoot them down. >> because you take demand out of the system when we need it most. most importantly, if we believe we've got to get the government out of financing, let's do it on a transitional basis. slowly, methodically and only when we have a private mortgage market ready to take the helm in a wake of a government walk way wa. >> rick santorum was just arriving. the candidates are arriving over the next few minutes to get the final preparations. final question here in florida, we talk about 350,000 construction jobs lost in the state

does a big win tomorrow seal the deal or will a romney victory just make the pendulum swing back to the tea party? no matter what the result is tomorrow, newt gingrich says he's not going anywhere. it will be a long month before the primary calendar gives gingrich some home field advantage. can he go the distance and how much will a prolonged fight damage the republicans for november? >>> just who is making the call tomorrow? we'll look at the many faces of the florida electorate and the big money that it takes to win votes in the fourth largest state. >> we're close to being the third. it's monday, january 3rd, 2012. this is "the daily rundown." 24 hours to go. there's no sedation. let's get to my first read of the morning. the florida fight coming to a very bitter end with just 24 hours to go before the florida polls close. mitt romney has pulled away in many of the polls and is leading newt gingrich by double digits. romney is not letting up. the make newt mad and mitt meaner strategy was on full display this weekend. >> the first debate of course the audience was quiet and speaker g

i believed it was a little swimming of the pendulum against government that would since when back. i grew up in the 60's. i marched, protested. i believe did the civil-rights movement. i had a sixth grade teacher who taught us a lot about brown versus board of education, which was before was in sixth grade. he gathers to interviewed jackie robinson, of all people. so they came into town. you can imagine how excited i was. not so much because he was a civil rights leader, and i think some people in retrospect were a little skeptical about him in that regard, but because he was such a darn good baseball player who would be excited? at look at his hands, chest, back. that is the real thing. it -- i was pretty well sensitized, and i believe america achieved something, a permanent lasting change. here it was reversing. very hard for me as an observer to take in the idea that this would be a permanent attitudinal change. in fact, it has been, at least until this time. americans are by and large skeptical of government's. everywhere you look people talk about how we have to restrain gover

the latest "des moines register" poll showing the political pendulum in iowa swinging away from ron pauloward rick santorum as we're talking about. however, ron paul is hitting the state hard today after a weekend braeng, hoping to reverse that tornado. he and he's recruited his son, tea party faifrlt, rand paul to the front lines. paul also making the case this weekend that he is electable. >> i always say that i'm pretty mainstream. i think that people who are attacking me now are the ones who can't defend their records and have been all over the place. >> nbc campaign embed anthony terrell, live at the polk county convention center in des moines. anthony, explain the mood on the ground and the push from the paul camp, now that both ron and his son rand are in town together. >> hey, good morning. they're pretty excited about senator rand paul being back here. he's trying to motivate conservatives to get behind his father's candidacy, pointing to his consistency and rand is also saying that his father is electable. he points to his own election of 2010, defeating the so-called establish

i think the pendulum might have swung a little too far for alex smith. he almost went from underrated to overrated instantly. but the quarterback play will be interesting to watch. not the most important thing, as you say. everyone can at least make the throws that could hurt the defense. >> who do you think can give us the most interesting super bowl? >> yeah. there's no such thing as an uninteresting super bowl with two weeks of hype. >> never? >> of course -- never. i mean, you know. the game might stink, but for two weeks everyone will be talking about it. that, by the way, is why i like this weekend better. there are two games. only a week between games. you have less time to get distracted. obviously the patriots and the giants, that will be a rematch of the 2007-2008 season where the giants eked it out. boston wants that rematch so bad. don't look past the ravens though, boston, i would say. baltimore and san francisco, that would be the harbaugh bowl because you have brothers jim and john facing each other. brothers have never played each other,

we have i believe the pendulum has swung too far to the point where now the lenders are limiting trulythe ability of people trying to take homeownership into their personal standards right now. but i also think there's got to be a way to make it more balanced, where access is available and then safeguards are in place. so how is it that you can advocate on behalf of the consumers and the mortgage application, applicants, in order for this to move forward the coast at the rate we are going, we are so limited in terms of funding available or making it available to the average borrower and that is in terms of a vicious cycle that is where we are seeing we are not getting the inventories supplied limited and we are not making use of the current really really good marketplace right now. thank you. >> i won't add much other than to say i completely agree and there are ways to do this. fha as you know which is probably a prime source of financing for homes in many of the communities that all of you serve allows down payments for borrowers as low as 3.5% for an fha loan. the challenges that no

. >> you'd worry about the pendulum swinging too far, as far as too much regulation as well? >> yes, i would. >> tell me if i'm wrong, it's my understanding that many of the actions the bureau are poised to take may well lead to a further reduction in credit opportunities for small businesses. can you comment on that? >> i don't think that that's our intention, congressman, and if you're hearing from small businesses, community banks and others in your district, pass those comments on to us. we may well be hearing from them as well, but that's not our intention. our intention is to be mindful of the difference between larger institutions and smaller institutions. smaller institutions typically don't have a big compliance department to shrug off burdens imposed on them. on the remittance rule we issued, there's a further proposed rule to consider setting a threshold that the rule doesn't apply to those below the threshold because they don't need to take on the burdens as not doing it in the normal course of business, and that's what i pledged that we'll consider regulatory wor

we have i believe the pendulum swung too far to the point now the lenders are limiting the true legality of people trying to take a homeownership into their standards right now, but i also think that there has got to be a way to make it more balanced. where access is available and in safeguards in place. so how is it that you can advocate on behalf of the consumers and the mortgage applications applicants in order for this to move forward? because at the rate we are going, there is so limited in terms of the funding available or making it available to the average borrower and that is what is in terms of the vicious cycle we are saying that we are not getting the inventory supply a limited and we are not making use of the current really good marketplace right now. thank you. >> i completely agree and there are ways to do this. i think as you know which is a prime source of financing for homes in many of the communities that you served. allows down payments for borrowers as well as 3.5% for the loan not all are using the but of that credit portfolio for a whole lot of other reasons that we

i believe the pendulum swung too far to the point* now the lender's are limiting to be the ability ofpeople trying to take home ownership into their personal standard rate now. but also there has to be away to make it more balanced where access is available and the safeguard is sam plays. so how is it you can advocate on behalf of the consumers and a mortgage applicants in order to go forward? at the rate we are going, they are so limited with finding available are making it available to the average borrower. said is a cycle that we are not getting the inventory supply a limited or making use of the really good market place right now. thank you. >> lo not add mu
