rule maybe obama should just call that the reagan rule it really shows you how far to the right the g.o.p. has moved in the last twenty years if their cult leader reagan one of the wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes who wasn't considered some sort of radical socialist pollution position these days maybe it's because it comes from a democrat either way the republicans intransigence on taxes is truly dangerous or becoming a society that is completely unequal and that's something that even ronald reagan knew and that's why we're giving g.o.p. lawmakers tonight still time award. ok guys it's time for happy hour and joining me tonight is our two producer jenny churchill and david packman the host of the david packman show thanks for joining me guys david nice to have you in studio usually it's just over skype always always happy to have you know people in studio here with us so let's talk about rick perry and a little problem that just just maybe kind of a big problem when it comes to his campaigning. the washington post is reporting at one point perry and his family we still honey camp

told the crowd in georgia the rates should be paying more i just wonder what current members of the g.o.p. think about reagan's view on taxes after all they call him the greatest president ever he has a cult following most republicans were just a few weeks ago g.o.p. candidates running for president for two thousand and twelve took part in a bait at the ronald reagan library and everybody on the stage and broke his name numerous times ronald reagan flew this plane i served during the reagan campaign with people like jack kemp on our last ronald reagan ronald reagan ronald reagan ronald reagan ronald reagan president reagan president reagan president reagan ronald reagan i with president reagan president reagan were here president reagan were in the reagan library ronald reagan ronald reagan granted reagan president reagan stand in the reagan tradition under ronald reagan. ronald reagan so what does it say when ronald reagan has to be the voice of reason when it comes to taxing the rich and sort of calling his plan to tax the rich the buffett rule a real bombshell just call that the reagan

he spent considerable time and money here in new hampshire after losing the g.o.p. presidential primary in 2008. stakes were high for perry who has plunged in the polls after weak debate performances. >> had six years to be working on a plan. i've been in this for about eight weeks. >> romney picked up a key endorsement from chris christie. that could lead to more campaign cash as the g.o.p. race inches closer to first contests. randall pinkston, hanover, new hampshire. >> in virginia, the race between the g.o.p. candidates has slipped over the last month. a new quin yak poll shows romney and cain are in a dead heat. rick perry was in the lead in the commonwealth but his support fell from 25% to just 11% in the latest poll. >>> both g.o.p. and democratic lawmakers from maryland are angry at a new redistricting plan for the state. if approved, it would add a portion of montgomery county to western district which is a g.o.p. stronghold represented by roscoe bartlett. >> maryland congresswoman donna edwards is the latest lawmaker to speak out against the proposed bounda

next up, the restaurant of the g.o.p. 2012 field. e yourself. it's a sprint, not a marathon. we got in late. we worked hard to raise the money and had 47-day fundraising push. >> i don't have the kind of money that my major competitors have, but i can have vastly more people than they're going to have. with your help, i believe i'm the only candidate who is capable of fundamentally disrupting and replacing the left in washington, d.c. >> bret: newt gingrich on the campaign trail this weekend. of course, texas governor rick perry talking to chris wallace on "fox news sunday." take a look at the "des moines register" poll out over the weekend. you can see herman cain in iowa, tied with mitt romney. then ron paul. there is michele bachmann at 8%. the next page, newt gingrich and perry tied at 7%. rick santorum and jon huntsman. back with the panel. jeff, newt gingrich seems to have found a bit of a stride after what was described as most analysts as a collapse of his campaign in the summer. >> he has found a bit of a stride but important

these people by playing to the g.o.p. base governor villanous fellow republican lawmakers have created a major problem for the state of georgia agriculture business across the state is suffering suffering all because georgia just had to act. a study commissioned by the georgia fruit and vegetable growers association found millions of dollars in losses this spring and summer and blueberries twenty nine million ideally onion sixteen million bell peppers fifteen million the association says those figures could grow and form sizes shrink. so far the state has laws seventy five million dollars thanks to the immigration law that agriculture is big business in georgia producing more than five billion dollars a year in revenue sources called the peach state because that's world famous peach crops ever tasted of my daily onion their sweet onions and they're only grown in the state of georgia that same university of georgia report also says that the state's economy is projected to shrink by three hundred ninety one million dollars a

new polls rocket herman cain to the top of the list in the g.o.p. nomination. we have the latest dials on the road to 2012. while the president's jobs plan is stuck in the mud -- >> the motion is not agreed to. >> the g.o.p. introduces a plan of its own. but will it pass? senator rand paul is here with reaction. plus, our weekly analysis of the mainstream obama media bias. >> is this the liberal version of the tea party? >> we are on the road to 2012. "hannity" starts right here, right now. >> with each and every passing day, there is more and more proof that not only can we not afford four more years of president obam awe barely afford the remaining presidency. from solyndra to the fast and furious, they are in very serious scandals from a president who vowed his presidency would be the most transparent in history, it has taken a subpoena to get his attorney general to cooperate with the fast and furious investigation. so eric holder will be back on capitol here before darrell issa. >> the controversy is that he swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and noth

exit question something, rick perry's the g.o.p.'st hope of taking the latino vote from the president, yes or no? one word. >> no. listen, perry has lost the nomination because of this. >> well, he may lose the nomination but he'll get some hispanic votes. >> i would think he'll -- immigration issue with a field for the hispanics! >> absolutely he will. absolutely it will. it will appeal to the hispanic community. >> so this is solidified his positive vote in the -- committee. i agree with mort and i agree with that proposition. we'll be right back with predictions! >>> prediction, pat? >> the metastasizing solyndra scandal is going to grow and it's going to take down the energy secretary of president obama. >> what is his name? >> mr. chu. >> well, steven chu has said it's his fault and he's taking the blame some i guess if you follow up he might resign. would you rather he be burned at the stake? >> prediction? >> prediction is the -- justice department took the health care ruling from the supreme court because they're nervous they

. >> meanwhile, north carolina senator richard bird delivering the g.o.p. se calling on the obama administration to drop its 447 billion dollar jobs bill and the embrace the g.o.p. plan instead the tax repeal code law. and invest in renewable energy sources. i'm jamie colby, i'll send you back now to bulls and bears, keep it here on the fox news channel, the most powerful name in news. ♪ . >> brenda: now they're going after the discount giant. some wal-mart workers teaming up with occupy wall street protesters, bashing the company over wages and for slashing health benefits this week. and america's biggest employer saying those are misguided considering the superstar represents the 99%. toby, is wal-mart helping or hurting the 99%? >> they're helping without a doubt. an average family, wal-mart family gains $2300 in spending power, now, in other words, that adds another 2300 to their pocket book every year. now, in a world where, you know, average incomes are down from 54,000 to 49,000 dollars and inflation is higher, this is absolutely helping and why these

our as we just wrapped up the latest g.o.p. presidential debate earlier this week where it became very clear i think who the probable front runner is going to be and yet a new poll has everybody just blown away republican presidential candidate herman cain as pulled ahead of the pack we do have a new front runner at least for this month is herman cain he's the first choice of cain with a four point lead over mitt romney shall bachmann has just wrapped up a meeting with donald trump albert was reading between donald trump and michele bachmann and michele bachmann says that she is rebooting her campaign it. all right let's get a few things very clear here realistically does herman cain have a chance of sealing the republican nomination of course not this is more of that flavor of the week probably because let's face it at this point the g.o.p. isn't so stoked on any of its offshoots so every single week we see some new candidates surgeon this time it happens to be herman cain the man who doesn't on muslims working in his administr

taking over the g.o.p. at the local level we had a huge historic victory in two thousand and ten we'll see what happens when i say that i'm eleven i meant twenty two and yes well there's so many elections going on that it's hard to keep track but we are looking ahead to two thousand and twelve and i think we're going to focus a lot on the senate and if we can continue this process over time to going to see a big difference maybe again the biggest difference between these two groups is that their solutions tend to be we want government to do more we say we don't really trust really anyone in power who can get corrupted by wall street or any others special interest so we really need people that are not owned by these special interest from the beginning those are going to be people that are new to politics frankly folks like herman cain could be a breath of fresh air and there are certainly folks on the democratic side i can feel good as well but i think that you know i think that's part of the problem here is

it's most important for herman cain to solidify the g.o.p. base and i think that doug is right, the reason that a lot of people are flocking to h herman cain is two fold. s' reaganesque, and a lot of people are looking to an alternative to mitt romney and herman cain is garying net particular and they're flocking to him and he needs to solidify and raise money. that's what's going to get him through the caucuses and primaries. >> jamie: herman cain says his 9-9-9 plan shifts the tax paying burden to those who least afford. can he overcome that challenge? >> well, in a republican primary that's not going to be a problem and andrea is right, that at this point, it's the republican base he needs to worry about. what he's getting with the 9-9-9 plan, jamie, is the sense that he's going to scrap the tax code, do something radically different, and give people a chance to have much lower rates, seemingly, and hold more of their on income. he so, i think it is an aspirational plan that says that at least he has new ideas, where the republican field ar

i five if i told my war and tonight it goes to rick santorum for the g.o.p. presidential candidate has the euro a chance of winning the nomination but refuse to experience even for the republican party and that's saying a lot see it almost every debate and campaign about he launches into an attack on marriage equality rick has actually made gay rights a central issue of his campaign i support a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage i think that it marriage should be a consistent thing across the country marriage is the union of one man and one woman it's essential for the family is essential for the stability of our of our culture to to make sure that children are given the best hope which is a mom and a dad and now all rick has a right it's a voice voice his hateful opinion his positions on gay marriage or on obsession over the course of the campaign he's made several strange analogies on the issue on something convince the american people of the institution of marriage is just not compatible with gay people. marriage is what marriage is a marriag

exit question something, rick perry's the g.o.p.'st hope of taking the latino vote from the president, yes or no? one word. >> no. listen, perry has lost the nomination because of this. >> well, he may lose the nomination but he'll get some hispanic votes. >> i would think he'll -- immigration issue with a field for the hispanics! >> absolutely he will. absolutely it will. it will appeal to the hispanic community. >> so this is solidified his positive >>> issue four, economics of immigration. >> are they good enough? the good economics outweigh immigration's downside. the answer, yes! item, innovation. forever 1% increase in college educated immigrants, there is an increase in patents for new products of 15%. item, entrepreneurship. over the past 16 years, immigrants have co-founded more than half of all computer tech firms in silicon valley. item, growth. immigrants earn more than half of all engineering doctorates. they dominate the engineering field, which is responsible for more than 50% of the u.s. economic growth. question, wha

the door is closed. >> reporter: but with some in the republican establishment unhappy with the g.o.p. field, big-time donors urged christie to reconsider and he did. it became an all out media frenzy after his speech last week at the reagan library. >> we need you. your country needs you. ( cheers and applause ) >> reporter: christie said today he was thinking about running when he gave the speech. he'd already heard from so many others. >> it's been unbelievably humbling and inspiring. >> reporter: but with only three months left before primary voting begins, time was running out for christie to launch a campaign. even if the establishment was behind him, today a cbs news poll showed 63% of republican voters either hadn't heard enough about him or were undecided. in his trademark style during a 50-minute press conference, christie took on skeptics who were raising questions about his record and experience. >> that's when i knew that i could actually win. ( laughter ) when they started when... when all these people started shooting at me before i got in the race. >> reporter: and he

maybe that reporters can encourage them a little bit to go ahead with the second round of cuts to the g.o.p. but even as u.s. troops are preparing to leave iraq the u.s. is going to continue working to train iraqi security forces and this program it's the responsibility of the state department out there by the way even though the troops are leaving there already moves underway just incorporate some into nato troops so that they can stay continue the training program but a new report from the u.s. special inspector general for iraq reconstruction describes that police development program as a bottomless pit of the millions of dollars that are a lot of that training only twelve percent is actually going towards training the iraqi police the rest simply goes towards the personnel the troops that are doing the training and having security for those troops in the special inspector general also found that even though the state department was aware that it was going to inherit this training program from the d.o.d. didn't really do all that much planning to make sure that the money would be spent e

he is now reconsidering jumping into the g.o.p. race. d apparently, he has a team investigating a possible presidential bid. political observers say with the first republican caucus just months away, christie will have to make up his mind soon. the concern is whether or not he will have enough time to raise enough funds to be a are real contender. >> just a week ago, he was saying no, thank you very much. but i don't feel it inside. it changes in a little bit. >> we will see. >>> 6:13. >>> the nobel prizes have been announced. the winner with ties right here in california. >>> and a heated turn in the g.o.p. presidential race. the single word steeling a racially charged fight. >>> we have clouds gathering right now. storm clouds moving in for the day. it looks like rain is on the way. just how much, we will talk about that, coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,,, [ female announcer ] this is the story of joycelin...

bruce leshan asks could we be looking at the next g.o.p. candidate. >> reporter: plenty of buddy/buddy. >> no endorsements although those are always welcome. >> reporter: the governor holding off addressing any of the g.o.p. presidential candidates. >> this is like the occupy fairfax county movement. >> governor romney gets it when it comes to free enterprise. a great record of achievement creating wealth and jobs and opportunity for people. >> reporter: a recent poll suggests romney is tied with cain in virginia and tied as well with president obama. so with picking mcdonell would it help? >> it would be presumeing to do that. >> reporter: the president saying he is not paying attention to the republican primary until one or two are voted off the island but these democrats are paying attention now. >> for mitt romney it is more trying to help the people at the top instead of trying to give just a little bit of a boost to the families that are struggling across the commonwealth. >> reporter: but on the hot subject of taxes especially flat ta

so disturbing and internal pentagon reports prepared for senate senator bernie sanders shows that the g.o.p. has been hit by one point one trillion dollars in fraud from defense companies over the last ten years so over the course of a decade the pentagon paid five hundred seventy three billion dollars to over three hundred contractors involved in civil fraud cases two hundred fifty five billion dollars went to fifty four contractors convicted of seriously criminal fraud cases and senators called this a very shocking report saying of the ugly truth is that virtually all of the major defense contractors in this country for years have been gauged in systemic fraudulent behavior while receiving hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money so you want to. the worst offenders are one of probably the ones that you know best lockheed martin paid ten point five million dollars in two thousand and eight after the company was found submitting false invoices on a multi-billion dollar contract but just three year later lockheed martin was awarded thirty billion in brand new contracts worth of grum
