given the high level of waterloo that we've seen over the past couple of weeks and the uncertain outlook both for the eurozone debt crisis and also on the domestic political front i would advise investors to maintain. exposure to liquid stocks and also keep a fair amount of cash any right now given the. given the uncertainties that are hand if one is to invest i would advise investing in the value stocks most notably the oil and gas stocks gas probably quell right now keep it liquid and stick where the value is. counting is rarely glamorous but it is important to make russian business more transparent all listed companies will be obliged to report their results according to international accounting standards by twenty fifteen that full force around a third of all russian forms just switched from reporting only local standards which are often ignored as they are considered unreliable it hopes the change will improve the investment climate and make it easier for companies to attract finance . reporting in international financial standards is a film that's accepted worldwide so wendy walsh

joining us live from waterloo is governor rick perry. so let me ask you this.d you consider a victory in iowa? >> coming in first in the caucuses. that's our goal. that's the reason we started this 44-day bus tour and hit a lot of places in waterloo and headed to waverly. places to stop and tell your story and make your pitch about the economy and what we have common the state of texas and how to duplicate that across the country and get america back working. we are head to the fading goat in waverly. so it's a fun trip. as well as serious. megyn: you must feel i'm you are right at home. i want to ask you. bret baier and i will be on the air watching you tuesday night. as the results come in, if you are not number one, where will you say i'm okay. how low could you go and still feel good about your performance? >> i'm going to feel good about our performance regardless of where we come in in iowa. we expect to do well here. these folks share our values whether they are social issues orifice cal issues. they are looking for scene outsider. they know they won't f

he's got a lot of money and will try to have a waterloo or alamo and it will be south carolina. >> shepard exactly happened to mitt romney? >> what exactly happened to mitt romney? >> he's plummeted in the polls in key states and seems to be off-message and off kilter. >> conservatives have not had their candidate and they now have him. they bounced around to several people. newt will give them the red meat and what romney will find out, unlike when he beat out everybody in the race, especially mike huckabee, nobody hit him back. he's got a street fighter this time and you throw punches at newt gingerich, be prepared to get knocked on your tail. >> shepard: he gets knocked on his tail and newt gingerich is the nominee, democrats are ecstatic. >> they can be ecstatic. i was involved with ronald reagan when jimmy carter couldn't wait to run against him. the country wants change, newt gingerich will give them change. >> shepard: you heard what dick cheney said. do not underestimate newt gingerich. this man brings it. >> i've known newt since 1978, a friend, ally and been on the opposite side

i'm not sure if it's waterloo, or spanish armada, it could be the battle of the marathon. not sure that newt could do the whole 26 miles. look, i know i'm beating a dead horse but sometimes you just can't resist. i will get serious about this. this is a damaging piece of information. and the reason is, two reasons. number one, it's a question of can you believe him? he has been explaining away his support for the individual mandate. that is the core of his support for romney care. as well something did he in the early 1990s as a way to oppose hillary care. this quote, this statement occurs 13 years after hillary care. only five years ago. and so you have got to question how long ago did he abandon the individual mandate? secondly, it's a matter of substance. the main attack he has on romney is that romney is not authentic. the main issue here is what he passed on health care. it isn't just a policy dispute. it's something that romney actually enacted into law. if you take away that attack, what does gingrich have? if he supported the bill that romney had passed in massachu

and they were both in waterloo the next day, where michele bachmann was born.enior staffer had devised a plan to go up to perry and welcome him to the race, put her arm around him and say, from one former cheerleader to another, welcome to iowa. they thought that would be a good way of getting under perry's skin and let him know she was going to fight him for the turf in iowa and another adviser vetoed that plan and said, that's not presidential. it caused a rift between the campaign. they said, we are not president yet. so let's worry about that later. but right now, let's take it to rick perry. she ended up not doing that and perry had a great night that night and by all accounts outperformed her and that was the beginning of the end for bachmann in iowa. >> we appreciate you being with us. thanks so much, tom bevin. thanks. >> coming up, the great american panel is here. but first, we will check in with brent boesel on all the ways the oblamma mania media continues to smear the g.o.p. candidates. we will break it down next in we will break it down next in th

it happened at a ruckus party in waterloo, iowa.rrived to shut it down, taylor grabbed one of the officer's pistols. >> i just shot the man three times, right? everybody broke and run. and the other police, he was still down, right? so i ran over there and i shot him three times. it wasn't because i was on no drugs or alcohol. i wasn't impaired, you know. >> and afterwards? >> trying to get away, it wasn't no remorse or nothing. i wasn't even thinking about turning myself in or nothing like that, right? i hid for about five or six days in the cornfields before they caught me, right? they give me a natural life sentence, discharged by death. >> for the next 20 years he was transferred to various prisons due to gang activity and predatory behavior. the aging inmate landed in anamosa in 2002. shortly afterwards taylor chose to participate in a victim pact program. but it wasn't out of remorse. he was hoping it would earn him a transfer back to his favorite prison. >> first, i was going to use it to try to get back to ft. madison. you k

he has campaign stops in waterloo, mason city.> the most recent ad campaign targets a particular opponent, but not the front runner. he's taking aim at rick santorum, who is a fellow candidate who is trying to go for the ultraconservative vote. the ad labeling him as an earmarker. the strategy behind this is he's trying to compete for that very conservative vote. right? >> well, that's right. and polls have shown santorum surging, which is tough news for perry. they are competing for the same block of social conservatives. there's not a lot of difference on social issues between the two candidates, but where's there a difference is on their record. his record of spending. let's take a listen to what he said yesterday. >> rick santorum is a friend. i've got great respect for him. but what he talks about fiscal conservatism, it leaves me scratching my head. because he was a prolific earmarker. i love iowa pork. but i hate washington pork. and senator santorum, he loaded up his bills with pennsylvania pork. and he even voted for the

i was born here in waterloo. i am a seventh generation iowan. family were early pioneers get out of the ground here. -- that felled the trees and plowed the ground here. i will tell you, i am so grateful for these iowa values that i learned here. here is one of the best animating principles in the united states -- no one owes you a living. have you ever heard of that? that is what i've learned from my parents. you learn to make it on your own garrett the other thing is an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. they also said your word is your bond. those are good values. those are the same kind of the values we will rise again as a great nation. we will restore our greatness. we do not have to lose our opposition to china. if we start acting like a first world nation, rather than like a banana republic like the barack obama is doing right now. we will be that first world nation again and the shining city on the hill. that is what i came to return. -- that is what the founders meant to us. that is what i aim to return. i need your vote on jan

and well to note that she considers herself a native iowan, born in waterloo and moved up to minnesotare she's a congress woman. and she won the aims iowa straw poll and history could be made on tuesday night with the winner of the aims straw poll potentially coming in dead last. carl cameron with the latest from iowa, thanks. >> fascinating to much with a the details right there. here is a programming note. fox news is the home base for the iowa caucuses and tomorrow night at 8 eastern, america's election headquarters specially, previewing tuesday's race, live from iowa and tell it live from new york city and perhaps we would have special coverage of the caucuses tuesday, right here on the fox news channel. >> in another election news, the republican party of virginia will now require voters to take a loyalty oath, in order to take part in their state's presidential primary. the news after the g.o.p. announced only two republican candidates actually qualified to appear on their battle. peter doocy following this for us will i have in washington d.c. hi, peter. >> hi, jamie. it wasn't

and bachmann who was born in waterloo, iowa. i do know they are underestimating ron paul. he will be well-organized. his people will come out whether it's rain, shine, snow or not. we saw this four years ago. in fact, the key example was missouri. and missouri ron paul ran a distant fifth. the primary was won by mccain. yet the delegates were elected by not the primary, they were committed by the primary, but the delegates were elected at delegate and state conventions and the ron paul people came within a has been full of votes of sweeping the delegation. they would have been obligated to go and vote for mccain for a certain amount of delegates but they would have been ron paul people. there will be probably one quarter of the people who turn out in a normal midterm gubernatorial race in iowa, will turn out and vote in the caucuses. it will be the libertarian flock that will matter. iowa is a state with a strong isolation over 100 years and that will help them as well. >> i don't think endorsements are that potent. people pay attention to them because you get media attent

they can't make that their waterloo.their stand or they're just playing the whole song all over again that got them in trouble. so we need a mature compromise. are they going to vote for the millionaires tax? no. they're not going to vote for it. we've got to find a mature compromise and get it done, get it done for the country. maybe that's the one thing we can do in this election year. >> it's interesting you talk about their position with regards to unemployment benefits and the working class because the republicans have proposed a few things to be attached to an unemployment benefits extension, which is, well, they want to, a, reduce it from 99 to 59 weeks. they want to allow states to require drug testing. they want to search and enroll in ged programs. and they want toing forbid benefit cards from being used at liquor stores, casinos, and strip clubs, which on its surface you could argue for. but folks like the state of nevada representatives said part-time workers work in casinos. that's where there are atm machin

. >> speaking to a crowd at a waterloo pizza place, the texas governor again told potential supporterse's running to improve the nation's economy. perry, once a front-runner, is currently running fourth in the polls. >> why it's truly an end of an era, morning radio's number one show goes off the air at kggo. >> rick santorum is surging in the polls and this morning he sat down for a private breakfast with what undecided voters. our cameras were the only ones there as they talked poll numbers, the economy and slower days of his campaign. >> this is kcci news channel 58 can the 6:00 in h.d. we're proud to be iowa's news leader. >> i think every one of these interviews is making it more difficult. >> a few undecided voters, we have been following them for you for weeks, are getting a rare chance to talk one on one with the candidates. this morning they had a private breakfast with candidate rick santorum. >> the same day polls confirm he's making a strong showing in the top tier. emily price continues our exclusive series "dining with the undecideds." >> hello. >> hi, becky. >> very nice

michele herself will speak at a caucus in her hometown of waterloo, iowa.ers going across the state and speaking at caucuses, and surrogates will be speaking. getting out there and meeting with the people. because the great thing about the caucasus is it is a last- minute opportunity to hear about the candidates. as you travel the state as we have over the past several weeks, virtually 45% of the electorate is still undecided. they see what is on tv and they read the paper and a year the polls and they make up their own mind after having met the candidates themselves for being a family member or a surrogate looking at how the stand on positions. and often people go into the caucus meeting themselves without making their mind up. it is critical we have the right people on caucus night to go and share michele's message of being a consistent conservative, the only consistent conservative we have on this race in terms of the social issues, on life, and marriage, faith, family, and certainly on economic issues. she has fought hard in washington to appeal obamaca

iowa's her waterloo in many respects. she's got to make a strong stand, she's got to come out of there stronger than she has been. and i thought last night she did herself a great service. >> she did. i thought she did very well. and i think she scored a lot of points by basically saying newt was being condescending to her as a woman. i want to talk about the gses, though. because gingrich did fumble around the fact that when -- actually at the time that was most critical -- when the bubble was about to explode, that's when newt was getting money, and he can't seem, jeffrey, to be able to explain that away. >> how can he? it's pure influence peddling, and it's pure insider dealing, and it's purely what americans are disgusted about. and he can't walk away from it. so there's no glibness that's going to allow him to back away from the record. michele bachmann completely nailed it. she had it completely right. and we know that fannie mae and freddie mac were a disaster because they were in this limbo land where they were ta

if not, that could mean his waterloo, his watergate, little big horn, might mean the election.on "the situation room's" facebook page. >> i'm struck, jack, by mary snow's report, nearly 50 million americans including a lot of people who never in their lives thought they would need help simply to survive are on food stamps right now. i'm not sure how to digest this, if you will. >> i don't know either. you know, this squabble going on in washington over extending the payroll tax cut, if that goes the wrong way, they could put another million people on food stamps in january when middle class paychecks get what it is $1,000 a year cut because these clowns in washington can't come to an agreement on this stuff? >> yep, that's a good point, jack. $1000, $1500 for a family making $15,000 a year. that's a lot of money. two or three kids, that's money they need. the members of the house and senate need to work on a deal before december 31st. >> let's held our breath. >> thank you. >>> if your planning to send or receive a package this holiday season, beware, you'll want to see jeanne
