some pretty tough words from rudy guiliani for the anti-wall street protestors. he said instead of occupying wall street occupy a job, that was his advice. the former new york city mayor called out the demonstrators while blaming this movement on president obama. >> how about trying something different to help our economy, instead of occupying wall street and boston and oakland. how about you occupy a job? how about working? whoo, working. i know that is tough. woodstock is more fun. right? woodstock is a lot more fun than working eight hours a day. martha: that's probably true. founder of the tea party 365 joins me now. sally cohen occupy wall street supporter and activist founder of new vision.org. i know you've both been down there. he said he would have cleared them out a lot sooner. there was that moment when mayor bloomberg said actually we are not going to clean today we're going to clean another day. >> there are so many things to say about guiliani, i don't know where to begin. he comes from the same camp of middle class attackers and wall street defende

you had rudy guiliani, mccain, thompson, you had huckabee. huckabee was the natural outlier. kinds of conservatives with perry and cain and gingrich and santorum and bachman. if they fragment their support, that's going to leave romney and thinks numbers, as you know, they're not moving. but if they don't move, that's enough to win the iowa caucus. >> brian: but not win conservatives? >> well, that's going to be his challenge. he needs to inspire conservatives 'cause those are the ones you do the door knocking. >> brian: you should run. look how well he presents it. >> i've run a couple of times. don't tell my wife you said that. >> steve: it's time to cook up some pizza. bob, president of the familyleader. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> brian: hopefully we'll split a pizza soon. >> steve: i owe you money. coming up, more and more guys moving back in with mom and dad. wait until you hear what comedian brad stein has to say about this. that is coming up next. >> brian: we pretend this movie is a documentary. then the group hand picked by simon cowell. ♪ il divo is

and it's important to remember that, because remember frontrunners, rudy guiliani and frien fred thompsone roughly in the same spot where they were leading the polls. a lot can happen in a short time. newt gingrich has been his polls increase. he will be be on center seat on special report taking questions from the panel tomorrow night, tuesday. he is seen by many, even in this poll, as the conservative standard bearer. he and cain take a lot of the percentage of folks who believe that they side more with where republicans are as in philosophy. and the question is whether he can ride that not only organizationally but money wise to take him deep into this contest. there is a path, especially if herman cain starts to drop off and we'll see if that happens in the next couple of days. jon: the president will make some remarks in a couple of minutes trying to put veterans back to work. let's take the shot from the rose garden. there is the president emerging. this is a speech about trying to get veterans back to work especially. it's certainly something we all old dear. the question is, how d

the fact of the matter is, we learned from rudy guiliani in the last election, he decided to sit out iowa, said that new hampshire, and put all his marbles in florida. by that time, he had lost all the media attention. you have to play all of these places because of the media attention. this is in media-generated campaign because it so much of the cable networks are covering this 24/7. it is important to be where the media is. host: another debate tuesday night in washington, the first time there has been a presidential debate held in washington, d.c. cnn has the debate at 8:00 p.m. eastern. c-span radio will carry it at 10:00 p.m. eastern. rahm emanuel, the now mayor of chicago, in town for a democratic party fund-raiser and taking aim at the republican field. here he is. >> take mitt romney. he said he would be in iowa tonight. we should have known he would change his mind. news that the debate, he had to leave early. he had to run back to the most important people, the salespeople at tiffany. cain and rick perry arrived late. there were in their tutorial class. where is libya? hos

. >> steve: speaking of new york minute, four years ago, rudy guiliani was going to be the nominee until. deneen, you say a big part of the attack on romney and not newt is the fact that romney has got a lot of dough. >> well, he's getting a lot of money from wall street. he's getting more money than obama got in 2008 election, which is interesting, because the regulations that are being hit against the bankers and wall street, it's costing jobs. but i think the white house is panicking. obama is panicking and they're hitting romney fast and hard now because he has been consistent in the polls. >> steve: one of the reasons the white house might be panic panicking is fact they're hemorrhaging the number of independents. they had a substantial number last time and now they're off by ten points. >> because what they've been doing for the last three years is not working. we voted for a president of the united states of america, we got a president of the democratic party. and so people are taking another look at it and he's losing favor because we want a leader that will solve problems and th

and in fact, it's still at this point in 2008, it was rudy guiliani and fred tampson and first -- thompsonce, but still in single digits was mike huckabee who as we recall, was very competitive with mccain for the nomination. >> brian: let's take a live shot now and you can look on your monitor. the occupy wall street movement. they're trying to block wall street and brooklyn sites and it looks like the cops had to wrestle a couple people to the ground. this is live as we look. what politician wants to embrace this movement? >> well, we've already had several do so. we've had president obama, speaker pelosi, the democratic candidate for the u.s. senate in massachusetts, professor elizabeth warren said she had provided the intellectual foundation for the movement. now, you wonder was this what nancy pelosi meant when she said god bless them for their spahn nayity? was this what the president was saying was helpful and encouraging? professor warren, was the intellectual foundation for violence and breaking the law? i don't think so. >> steve: and you ran into some of the occupy baltimore peo

former new york mayor rudy guiliani talking about occupy wall street, and he says it's class warfare,d with his client at the restaurant association. the n.r.a. confirms the woman did file a complaint against cain at the time. >> the tactful fact that there are multiple complaints tells me more likely than not there was some sexual harassment activity by this man at that time. >> bennett went on to say that his client did not wish to be named and she wants to live a normal life. cain denies the allegations, but not the settlement. those are your headlines. let's go to rick. sorry. >> that's okay. >> alisyn: didn't know what was happening right there. >> we never do, but we make it happen. take a look at the weather maps, guys. we're getting the snow across parts of the west and snow, major storm across the northeast and a big storm across parts of the west and we're going to be seeing around six inches falling in flagstaff, arizona and that's at about 7,000 feet into the peak and we are going to see a foot of snow. some are in the towns, but more in the higher elevations and the peaks
