steve king represents western iowa. steve king can't get behind this. he is against this exact immigration stance. when rick perry did it, everybody said uh-oh, what will we do with it? perry took a beating for it. newt's numbers will go down. he needs to come out of the box in iowa strong. he won't do that. >> dana: one thing we said earlier in the summer rick perry needed to come out and give an expansive speech on his position on immigration. do you think newt should do the same thing or maybe we need a debate just on immigration? >> bob: the response from gingrich, you're right. it was courageous. willald, forgot the first name. willard's mitt romney. as usual, he went in the tach for the right wing. the others, michele bachmann, the rest of them mouth off stuff. gingrich i think may have given republicans an out. republicans needed some way to attract hispanics. the secret is iowa has the largest percentage of hispanic of any midwe shall state. >> eric: eastern half. the western half is white. >> bob: but they go to caucuses, too. >> eric: i unders

as a quasi lobbyist. >> shannon: he doesn't want to call it amnesty, but steve king is calling it.t pop already and powerful in iowa. he is using that board to make a difference for gingrich. >> i think it does. it's entering illegally and you don't have to pay a penalty. you get residencesy in the united states. it's actually a prize. so it's essentially am amnesty. there is a logical problem. if you say you are inhumane if you kick someone out after a quarter of a century, where do you draw the line? are you humane if you kick them out after 15 years or ten years or five? if the idea is to promote the family, which is what gingrich was arguing, you have a family after a couple of years here, under the logic of gingrich proposal you'd want to let them stay here. it's a larger issue. i think the gingrich slot now is the anti-romney slot. everybody is looking at has been looking for somebody who is a orthodox ideological conservative. when perry had the slot, people discovered he had policies on immigration, vaccination, et cetera and stel like a stone. gingrich has a long history o

today, iowa republican congressman steve king told iowa public television that it makes gingrich less likely to receive his endorsement. >> well, i moved a little bit away last night when i heard the debate. >> reporter: the subject came up because of gingrich's support for the mad rat, even liberate, 1986 immigration reform bill, signed by ronald reagan. reagan's son michael, the conservative talk radio host, said his late father would have applauded gingrich. >> he would say to the republican party, you better find a way to reach out to the hispanic population or you may find yourself on the ash heap of history. >> reporter: a republican with more moderate views on immigration reform could make several key battleground states with high latino populations more competitive against president obama. not to mention helping with moderate swing voters, george. but it's a conundrum of primary politics that what helps you in the general election can hurt you in the primaries. >> okay, jake, gnu. >>> to egypt now, and an update on the three young americans arrested in the chaos. word today th

web site and go to my proposed 21st century contract with america, the first item is to follow steve king's leadership and repeal obamacare. i strongly support paul ryan's general approach to block granting and medicaid. we could block grant all the remaining welfare programs, an opportunity for states using innovation and new approaches in a way that saves a lot of money. i want to talk very briefly about medicaid at a couple of levels. picking up on something harmon has said that is exactly right, this is where we are going to have a real national debate. i do not believe you solve problems dealing with poverty under the liberal model that we have had for the last 40 or 50 years of people being helpless, ok? there is a remarkable book called "the tragedy of compassion,"which helped define welfare reform in the 1990's. we need to rethink medicaid, much the way we rethought the process of welfare reform. for example, governor jeb bush, when he was governor of florida -- if you had diabetes or asthma and you took care of yourself, so you did not need to go to the emergency room, you got a ch

i think she and steve king were in a race to see who would be the first to introduce a bill to repealn syria and iran then rick santorum, and i can't tell you how proud i am of the courage she is shown year after year in wanting to serve his country and to leave his children with a better future. so i looked at -- i looked at my colleagues. this is a great group. the couple were here tonight. i would have said nice things about them. let's skip over that. i am here with very fine competitors and opponents. the only have one opponent. really have one opponent, and that's barack obama. we are delighted to be back. at think we may be the only campaign his national campaign manager is from iowa. first met at the turn college, and her ties here are pretty real and deep. we are glad to be back because i want to bring a very simple and clear message. with your help on january 3rd you can launch a candidacy which if you go you will see is the most sensitive candidacy in modern times playing out a 21st century time track. i'm not going to go into it tonight, but it's going to grow and evolve f

in fact, the day after that occurred, congressman steve king called it amnesty.king that up which makes it a lot hard for newt gingrich to come out of this. >> tim, as we look at a recent bloomberg poll in iowa putting four candidates at the top, cain on top 20%, ron paul in second place with 19, mitt romney in third with 18, and gingrich in fourth place with 17. who will the governor, governor bran stat endorse for the gop nomination? any decision there yet? >> no, actually the governor's welcoming all candidates and wants to be a spokesperson for the iowa caucuses to make sure that iowa's first in the country. he's said he likely won't endorse. there's always that possibility, but at this point it appears unlikely. >> the "new york times" is reporting that romney's camp is adding people in iowa will be airing tv ads there as well. you were romney's press secretary in iowa in '08 where he placed second. hindsight being 20/20, is he doing enough to win eyiowa in yr estimation? >> if you look at four years ago and a northeastern governor got second that should hav

influential conservatives in that state have taken a hard line on the amnesty issue, among them congress steve king who said in an interview today, i think if speaker gingrich had to do that over again he might couch his language differently. at a minimum, it is a form of amnesty. so does the speaker, as jeff notes, is he going to do more explaining in iowa or can he, as he said, i'm going to take heat, can he survive it? >> immigration is a tough issue. in iowa there's not a big constituency here for iowa conservatives who consider a candidate left of the center on immigration and that was proven out with rick perry in iowa. that was one of the factors for why rick perry's poll numbers have dropped in iowa. >> you say rick perry's poll numbers have dropped. gingrich has been a beneficiary. look at the new arg poll today, gingrich, 27%, romney, 20%, paul, 16%, everybody else in single digits. speaker gingrich is a good communicator, it's safe to say he's a better communicator than john mccain. but all of the evidence at the ballot box has been the party's moving to the right since 2008. if the posi

one of the moderators is congressman steve king of iowa, not really moderators in the traditional sensethe word. they'll be tossing out questions and topics to gingrich and cain. it will be a free-wheeling discussion in the style of the 1958 lincoln-douglas debates. >> why just the two of them, shannon? >> reporter: the organizers tell me they only invited these two because they feel like the discussions, the important issues don't get a full airing with so many candidates on stage, when you have seven, eight, nine candidates up there and each of them is only getting a minute, maybe 30 seconds to dive into a really serious subject. so the organizers tell me that they've only invited these two to this debate. but in future debates, that they hope to have, they hope to also have other candidates kind of square off against each other, again, in the style of the lincoln/douglas debates. we know back then that abraham lincoln did not defeat stephen douglas in 1858. >> thank you, shannon, we appreciate it. >>> with mortgage rates at an all-time low now, a lot of people say now is the time to
