effective today a year over from being shot in head, gabrielle giffords announces she is stepping down. she says she needs to focus on her recovery. >> i'm getting better. every day, my spirit is high! i will return. >> today, giffords heads to tucson to meet with other victims of the shooting rampage. tomorrow night, she'll be in the audience for president obama's state of the union address. a special primary will be held in april and the general election will be held in june to replace her. while you were sleeping, severe storms ripped through the south and the midwest. so check out this video right there. stormchasers following a huge storm through helena, arkansas. hope that's how you say it. those flashes you see in the distance, they're exploding transformers, unfortunately, on top of the power line but strong winds even blew tractor-trailers off the road to destroy buildings and the storm is making its way across the upper midwest. other areas could see as much as 2 inches of snow this morning. at this early hour, people are gathering to pay their respects to joe paterno outside of beaver stadium. that's where a statue of the former penn state coach stands. earlier thousands attended a candlelight vigil outside the administration building. it ended with singing and students and former football players walking to where his statue stands. paterno passed away yesterday after a battle, a short battle with lung cancer. he was 85 years old. the new york giants, brian's favorite story, punching their ticket to a rematch of their dramatic showdown against the new england patriots. last time's overtime field goal sent the giants soaring over the 49ers on the niners' home turf. >> it's good! and the giants are going back to the super bowl. >> giants fans packed into new york bars it watch the win saying this one, yep, it was a nail biter. >> they're going to kill me young, man. this team is going to kill me young! >> the giants face the patriots on february 5th for the super bowl. it's interesting to note that in the earlier game, it was also down to a field goal and unfortunately, if you're a baltimore fan, that 30 yarder was not good. >> right. >> for them. >> yeah. 32 yards. that's what they have to talk about. they have a touchdown where the guy held the ball for two seconds, three seconds and was stripped of it. new england goes in. good for the kraft family, mrs. kraft passed away this year. here's a prediction. i think it's going to be the highest rated super bowl ever. >> could be. >> not good news for the other network. >> sunday night. >> let's talk about the election and florida. for a change, the super bowl will not be in florida but in indianapolis. early voting is under way to the tune of over 200,000 ballots already sealed, signed and delivered. >> that's right. down in florida, there are 4 million registered republicans who can vote in the primary. so far, 220,000 have already cast ballots. the early ballots, about 191,000 are absentee and close to , let's see, 35,000 have been cast at polling places. we should point out they have been open for a couple of days, one week as opposed to two weeks in the last couple of years. meanwhile, as we go to florida, we have to take a quick look at south carolina because newt gingrich really blew up mitt romney's playbook. everybody was saying it's inevitable. mitt romney is going to waltz on in. not so fast. newt won across the board with conservatives, tea party members, evangelicals, they all liked newt. >> and it was a landslide. many people are saying, was it because of those two debates that happened last week where newt gingrich really shined? >> yeah. >> would people ever believe that a very negative television piece with his second ex-wife could come out two days before this primary and actually be a game changer in a positive direction for newt gingrich? well, now they're going to prepare for another debate. and if you're mitt romney, you got to wonder how do you stop this newt surge because the debates appear to help newt gingrich and there are two more debates this week. just nine days away now from the voting in florida. >> if romney ends up being the nominee, he'll own newt gingrich the mvp award and vice versa because they absolutely are skewering each other and allowing everything to hang out there and how they react will define who wins. newt on "meet the press" yesterday, watch. >> people who are just sick and tired of being told what they're allowed to think, what they're allowed to say, again and again, came up as you know in the two debates. the highest, the most intense passion in both debates was a head-on collision about what the news media was doing. >> in fact, newt was really able to make hay and some analysts say his performance in the first and second with the first three minutes down in south carolina that really cemented him. but what if he winds up going to a debate and there's going to be one tonight at the university of south florida. what if there is no question that he can hit out of the park? for instance, you know, after the question about his failed marriage with his wife and that open marriage thing, he was professorial rather than argumentative. >> here's the thing, 41% of the people that voted, the people that decided the day of the election voted for newt and they all had a chance to see the -- >> right, because they saw that -- i think so much of it was the debate, though, they loved that guy on the stage because they know if we can get newt gingrich right here, and barack obama right here, newt is going to take off the head of the president. >> so what will mitt romney's line of attack now be? well, we're getting it front and center right now. it's going to be against newt gingrich as a failed leader. he's going to talk about how he had to resign in disgrace as speaker of the house. and he's also going to call on him now to release his records from his time at freddie mac. here's mitt romney. >> if you believe that line that newt gingrich is the outsider that will shake things up in washington, then i guess you believe that bill clinton didn't inhale. he had to resign in disgrace. and then he's been a lobbyist for the last 15 years, influence peddling throughout those years, helping freddie mac, of all people. he says he was a historian there. i'd like to see the contract. i'd like to see his work product. he is the ultimate washington, d.c. insider. >> that's a preview of what you're about to see over the next week. >> interesting thing though is even though newt gingrich spent all this time in washington, it's actually who some of the conservatives like now. i mean, it's kind of flipping on its own argument. why do they like him? because he's been deemed as the nonestablishment candidate. so even though he spent all this time in washington, many voters see him as nonestablishment and they see mitt romney as the establishment candidate and goes along the whole media line, they don't want the media telling them what to do and the establishment telling them what to do. >> i thought it was interesting, richard lowry's article, he says if newt continues to win every republican running for office will panic because the general public -- to the general public, he is radioactive and points to the national poll that shows 27% of the country approve of him. 56% disapprove of him. >> sure. it's those people that disapprove of him. look over the next week and you'll see a lot of these ads down in florida. so far, the romney people have spent $4 and $7 million so far. newt got a couple million dollars over the transom since he won in south carolina plus his friend in vegas, he's going to come up with some more money as well. look at ads from mitt romney saying the last time this guy was a leader, he was speaker of the house and he did such a great job, his own members fired him! just imagine what would happen if he ran the country. >> i'm wondering how these negative ads are going to play now four states later. >> they work! >> i'm just wondering. nothing is conventional in this whole election cycle. and i don't think the south carolina voters liked them. so i'm just wondering, i'm putting the question out there. what do you think? do you think the negative ads will work or will they backfire? >> i know one thing, 61% of florida is conservative. and most of the conservatives voted for newt gingrich so that would be a problem. but you would think the early voting would go to mitt romney because he seems the inevitable candidate right after new hampshire and these were down before the south carolina results, obviously. meanwhile, newt gingrich knows there's going to be a reprisal from the mitt romney campaign. knows they're going to change tactics. thinks he's ready. >> the number one thing people look for in difficult times is authenticity and he can't relax and be candid. romneycare is the precursor to obama care. he was pro gun control and had a 400% increase on taxes on guns. he was pro choice no matter what he said about his views. he appointed pro abortion judges. so you end up with a guy who is, i think, a very good salesman. very much wants to sale but he has a really weak product. >> and in fact, on the pages of "the wall street journal" today, they talk a little bit about mitt romney has this 59-point plan and it's fine. but he needs a really big idea. and once again, the op ed page is suggesting maybe it's time for mitt romney to say i've got this great idea on how to fix taxes and the perfect segue is the fact that tomorrow, he will release his past income taxes and an estimate for what his taxes look like for this past -- >> i think it's bad. i think it's bad. if you come out with a tax to reform tax plan, the day you release your taxes, it looks like i'm trying to smother -- >> duck and cover, how is he going to defend? look, i only pay 15%. absolutely not. but it's just the way the narrative has changed. >> what he should have done is released them either last week like many of his key endorseers told him to do or had a different answer. it's always how it -- back to the cover-up. it was how he answered that question that got him into difficulty. not the actual release of the tax returns. now people are probably going to pay much closer attention to the tax returns than they would have if he would have just released them or had a better answer. >> i think, gretchen, he admitted he made a mistake and governor christie said it and he said it the next day on "meet the press." >> it's a week later and politics is about response time and perception and you would think that his team would have had a better answer for that. they knew his tax returns were going to be a huge issue. he's a rich guy. it's not a negative but they knew it. >> stand by, we're in for as bette davis says, a bumpy flight. a bumpy ride. she said ride! it was a car ride. >> he was supposed to be deported but his government gave a break. now this immigrant is the suspect in three separate murders. >> and if you can't sell it, smash it! why are these solyndra employees destroying millions of dollars in materials when they owed taxpayers millions of dollars in restitution. does that make sense?

>> mitt romney brushing himself off from his defeat in south carolina and ready to start swinging again and his supporters already taking the first shots at newt gingrich's record. >> we all know the record. he was run out of the speakership by his own party and fined $300,000 for ethics violations and this is a guy who has had a very difficult political career at times and an embarrassment to the party. you remember these times. you were here. the fact of the matter is i don't need to regale the country with that entire list again. i'm not saying he will do it again in the future, sometimes past is prologue. >> and more supporters are expected to use that same line today. will these attacks against gingrich work? joining me now are washington insiders, republican political strategist and partner at the prosper group, tyler harbor and former finance director and founder of mercer and associates, david mercer. good morning to you, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> are the supporters of mitt romney, many of them from the washington establishment, are they missing the point here? that many of the voters that like newt gingrich like him for the exact reasons that they didn't -- he didn't get the endorsement of some washington insiders. >> could be. but the exit poll coming out of south carolina was very clear. voters are going to give newt a pass on his personal baggage and they're rewarding him for his debate performance. and i think that romney and team romney at large is looking for a way to get back in the game here. and the only way to get back in the game is to try to link newt back to being an insider. back to being part of the washington establishment. and frankly, it probably will work to some degree. but this race is far from over. >> uh-huh. that was proven on saturday night. david, let me ask you this question, are the negative attacks that mitt romney launched in iowa when he breaks them out again in florida, is it going to work? >> i think what you saw with chris christie on "meet the press" yesterday is handing that task over to surrogates. i think what mitt romney has to do is put his own house in order after stumbling in the south carolina and i'll say this, that with that response to whether he would provide his tax returns or not being "maybe" brings an image up to me that suggests that if he were in the situation room in the white house being advised by those around him that bin laden was in their sights, i can't imagine a president or a leader saying maybe we should go or maybe we shouldn't go. i mean, that indecisive only plays to already the perception of him being an equivocator. if he's going to throw a punch, he better make sure he has his fighting in doing so. i think that's what he's got to do. >> does david have a good point? i can see an ad coming that way if it's romney-obama. >> yeah, well, you have one candidate in romney who is running away from his wealth and you have the other candidate in newt who is running away from his political nightmares while serving as speaker of the house. i mean, either way you cut it, there are great things to say negative about both of these guys. but both of these guys at least from a republican point of view are much better than the president we have now. >> david, won't president obama speaking of running, won't he be running away from his record the last three years? >> he will not be running away from his record of creating 3 to 3.1 million jobs or 334,000 manufacturing jobs over the last two years that we've been losing for decades. and thirdly, he's not going to be hiding from the record that he's been standing up for a jobs bill that the republican caucus can't get their head around and extend the payroll tax cut for the middle class when they're standing by the 2% of the most wealthy, behind their tax cut but won't give them a tax cut beyond two months. >> numbers are numbers. overall in his three years as president, he's lost more jobs than has been gained in america. i'll give you the last word, tyler. >> undisputed fact that the economy is still in the tank and the obama administration has really struggled to come up with solutions and any way you cut it, newt gingrich or mitt romney would be a significantly better president than barack obama. but the fight that you're seeing going on in the republican primary is a fight of passion. it's a fight to see who is going to take on the man and ultimately take him down. >> lot of blood on the floor. >> well, many people say it's a good way to get somebody in shape, shall i say, for the boxing match that will be republican-democrat come november. >> we look forward to it. >> no doubt. >> tyler and david, thanks so much for getting up on a monday morning. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> the courts ordered him out of the country but the government kept him in. why was an immigrant let out of jail to murder again, allegedly?

should niners fans be booing themselves for jeering the giants in the middle of the national anthem which i watched with my kids and i said see, kids, that's what hard work -- gets you from doing hard work is somebody who sings like that. >> i think that's the way they react. they're into the game. they see a giant and want to boo. >> why not? >> they've got giants in san francisco, too. >> that's true. tell joe biden that. he confused them. on to florida now where 50 delegates are at stake and it's one of those states where winner takes all. come in second, walk away with absolutely nothing. you can put yourself into the top spot and be certainly on a roll after this. this state is twice the size of new hampshire and bigger than south carolina. it will take a lot of money to be successful and so far, we have the debates to build off of. remember, mitt romney in a 16-point lead before debate number one in south carolina last week. >> and then two debates happened and newt gingrich ended up winning south carolina in double digits. so will newt continue to go after the media? there's two debates now this week before the people vote in florida although some have previously voted in early voting. will he continue to use those same lines that got standing ovations at the south carolina debates against the media and against the establishment? he says that works so we're probably going to still see that. >> speaking of establishment media, tonight, the moderator of the debate down in tampa at the university of south florida at the student center is going to be brian williams. i wonder if newt gingrich will bite off the head of brian williams the way he did with john king last week, stand by. obviously, given the fact that newt was so far behind, not only in the state of south carolina but you got to figure he's going to be reflective of his giant win over the weekend in south carolina. down in the florida polls. but going forward, apparently what's going to happen now is mitt romney realizing, ok, this mr. nice guy thing might not be working so well. maybe i should point out the differences between me and newt gingrich. newt gingrich was once upon a time speaker of the house. that didn't work so well. >> he's going to call him a failed leader. he's going to say that he resigned in disgrace. it's not like mitt romney has been totally nice either. i mean, he did attack him, his super pac did in iowa so maybe he's going to return to those attacks. >> here's what is different. he's demanding release of the ethics panel, the ethics panel pages that were sealed after he was fined and then he decided to resign. so i'm not sure that is -- that's chartered -- that's unchartered grounds when newt gingrich was asked about this on "fox & friends" weekend, he yelled back at dave and clayton. >> yeah. >> like how dare you do that? why don't you demand mitt romney' release of his tax returns? the answer is he's releasing his tax returns. >> a week after it first came up so is this going to be the new line of attack for newt gingrich? he was on with mike huckabee last night. listen to this. >> if you believe that line that newt gingrich is the outsider that will shake things up in washington, then i guess you believe that bill clinton didn't inhale. he had to resign in disgrace and then he's been a lobbyist for the past 15 years, influence peddling throughout the -- those years, helping freddie mac of all people. he says he was a historian there. i'd like to see the contract, i'd like to see his work product. he is the ultimate washington, d.c. insider. >> so that's a preview of what you're going to see over the next week in the runup to next tuesday's primary down in florida which by the way is open only to republicans who are registered down there. interestingly enough, over the last week, how many times did you hear newt gingrich refer to mitt romney as a massachusetts moderate and to himself as a reagan republican? well, maybe that also is something you're going to hear over and over again. well, yesterday on "face the nation" newt gingrich made it clear that mitt romney not very conservative. >> the number one thing people look for in difficult times is authenticity and he can't relax and be candid. romney care is the precursor to obamacare. he was pro gun control and had a 400% increase on taxes on guns. he was pro choice functioning no matter what he said about his views. he appointed pro abortion judges. so you end up with a guy who is i think, is a very good salesman and very much wants to sale but he has a really weak product. >> according to newt, a lot of people like jack welt said he's the most qualified president that's run for the office. >> mitt romney. >> in his lifetime, mitt romney. so it's going to be interesting and it's going to be ugly. >> let's turn gears now to the cruise ship disaster because this will probably surprise you. if you were one of the people who was on this ship and you did survive, what do you think that carnival cruise lines, the parent company of costa, what do you think they might reach out to you to do? >> cash? >> there's going to be a lot of lawsuits. maybe something big, right? well, apparently now, the cruise ship deal that's on the table for these victims is that they'll get refunded for this cruise that they barely started and then also, hey, you want to go on another cruise? we'll give you 30% off of your next cruise. any takers? >> are you kidding? 30% coupon? i bet they get some drink coupons, too. >> you're right. should have included that in the story. >> in addition to the fact that when you get on board, you get that free bon voyage free cocktail. >> this is almost as bad. this just shows a callousness. and a misunderstanding of what just happened to their industry and their company. >> sure, put it this way. the people that were on that particular ship were not passengers. they are survivors. and so for costa -- >> it should be cheaper if you end up a survivor rather than a passenger. >> by the way, we should point out that apparently the black box stopped working two weeks ago and the captain says that salute he did getting real close to the shoreline, he says that was approved by costa cruise lines. however, costa says that's false. he's a liar. >> that will be interesting to see if that's anywhere on paper. probably not. in the meantime, let's go back to politics. newt may have scored a big win in south carolina but florida is a whole another story. florida congressman allen west is here next with his thoughts on that. >> then the new world trade center was supposed to tower over new york city. now, new cuts, major cuts could mean a major change in design. let's just say it won't be towering much at all. -one. -two. -three. -one. two. three. one. -two. -three. -one. -two. -three.

[ male announcer ] there's no time like beggin' time. >> the g.o.p. presidential candidates not wasting any time hitting the campaign trail in florida, that huge state, after newt's victory in south carolina and with 50 delegates up for grabs in this winner take all primary, a lot is at stake and in fact, the voting has already begun to the tune of 200,000 ballots. joining us right now, republican congressman allen west. always love to have you. >> good morning. >> what is it going to take to win florida as opposed to what it took newt to win south carolina? >> i think when you look at florida, it's truly an indicator of, you know, the greater united states of america is the fourth largest state in the union. it's very diverse when you go from northern florida down to where i reside in south florida in the keys, you're going to have to be able to show the contrast between your vision for this country and that of president obama's and i think what the candidates should really do is focus in on the fact that last friday was the third year of the inauguration of president obama and start asking people that simple question that ronald reagan asked, are you better off now than you were three years ago and start joining the contrast with major economic factors like gas prices, gallon of milk, even the carton of eggs. things that the american people can understand. >> how about this? right now, the a.p. poll has mitt up. some say by tuesday, that could be a dead heat. what do you think? >> it will be interesting because you can't get out there and go to every state in florida. it will be important to get on the tv, talk radio is another big medium and use the social media there. i'm sure there are going to be places where each one of the candidates want to concentrate themselves but they've got to understand that the message has to be about how they're going to defend hard working american taxpayers and families. >> i'm reading, i was shocked how many people were speculating what happened last week in that sensational news media and this campaign. how many people think juan williams and newt gingrich were having a coded racial debate and the question on food stamps when newt gingrich makes that statement, is there a race code in that statement? how do you feel about that as an african-american? >> well, there is no race code. it's a fact. since president obama has been in the oval office you see a 4% increase in the food stamp recipients in the united states of america. there's one thing we have to look at. we have a president that's making more americans victims rather than making them victors and we have a 16% increase of americans on the poverty roll. 16.4% more americans are on poverty since president obama took office. >> i'm sure this will come out at your forum at 10:00 in washington. a bipartisan panel will talk about the black voice, why the conservative black voice seems to always get ignored in america from congressman scott to you, colonel west. now, i got to get you -- bring you to the speaker of the house on "fox news sunday" yesterday at which time he indicated there is no schism within the republican party even when it came to the payroll tax. what's your reaction to that? >> well, i think a lot of us were upset about what happened with the payroll tax issue. we passed a good piece of legislation that would extend it for an entire year and something came back from over the senate where the senate republicans agreed to for two months. i think there was a breakdown in understanding policy vs. politics. i think that's something we'll have to correct. >> congressman, also the president of the united states has said i get along with john boehner great. i like golfing with him. he's a lot of fun but he can't deliver his caucus on anything. is it true that he cannot unite you guys, you men and women? >> well, i don't think the situation has to do with the house g.o.p. if you go back and you look at what happened with president bill clinton after the 1994 midterm elections he pivoted and worked with newt gingrich and you saw surpluses and welfare reform. instead, what you see with president obama is he's tripled down on his radical left wing ideological agenda. we have a good plan of action. we would ask if harry reid would vote on the 27 pieces of legislation sitting on his desk. >>the word is not getting out on how much the house actually passed and how little the senate has actually done. colonel allen west, good luck. your state will have a lot of focus. hope to have you back again before january 31st. >> pleasure. >> straight ahead, mitt romney not the only candidate with big money right now. wait until you hear what landed in newt gingrich's bank account. a school shutting down friday night lights, banning football until students get better grades. is that too harsh? but the games are so exciting. what are we going to do with the smoke machine? my wife and i have three wonderful children and they make my life just perfect. we were having too much fun, we weren't thinking about a will at that time. we were in denial. that's right.

>> well, he admitted so much yesterday that it was probably bad strategy for him to say yeah, i'm going to put them out in april when i'm done with my taxes and yeah, i probably will wind up paying about 15% with the income that i raise. meanwhile, what are his critics going to say? could they -- this came up yesterday in a conversation he had yesterday with chris wallace. could critics be critical of the amount of money mr. romney donates to his church? the mormons. here's an exchange. >> if people want to discriminate against someone based upon their commitment, i would be very surprised. this is a country that believes in the bible. the bible speaks about providing tithes and offerings. i made a commitment to my church a long, long time ago that i would give 10% of my income to the church. and i've followed through on that commitment and hopefully as people look at the various run individuals running for president, they'd be pleased with someone who made a promise. promise to god and kept that promise. so if i had given less than 10%, then i think people would have to look at me and say what's wrong with you, fella? don't you follow through on your promises? >> i was surprised by that question from chris wallace because i can't see anybody critical of someone donating to their church unless there's a latent feeling about mormonism. >> let me just say, that's not going to be the question about his tax returns. if he says he's given 10% which is part of the mormon tradition to do, that's not the issue. the issue about his tax returns is he only paid 15%. again, he didn't break any laws. that's what some people are going to probably take a closer look at. it's not about whether or not he gave -- >> you know what they're going to do is end up asking for more years. this thing will play out longer than they think. >> sure. as we learned at the last debate, his father when he was -- george romney, when he was running for president released 12 years worth of tax returns and what not when he was running for president of the united states. but, you know, it -- here's my preview of what's going to happen. it's going to -- this is just going to ignite the whole class warfare thing. people are going to go look, we know he only paid 15% but really is that fair? i paid 35% or whatever. he paid 15%. >> that's the thing, that's the complicated nature of this discussion. and hopefully people will take the time to understand the entire discussion which is on the money when he had a job, he probably paid -- he did pay in the highest tax bracket. which would be 35% to 40%. >> unless it was an investment. >> unless it was an investment. but now that he hasn't really had a job for the last six years, the money that he's making is off of investments and in that case, every american who does that pays 15% capital gains. at least that's where it stands right now. >> that's the president -- we'll talk more about that, on the state of the union address, he'll bring up the class warfare stuff. >> exactly. >> no more exceptions, the obama administration ordering religious institutions to cover birth control and contraceptives on their health plans. is that legal?

why is president obama picking on us in this way? i happened to be a catholic. >> i'm a catholic as well. look, i have a problem with abortion and all the things that you have talked about. so going forward, you got to figure, well, doesn't the president need the catholic voters? or does he need the people who support planned parenthood and all that stuff. we're going yeah! good! >> let me tell you, it's not about abortion. it's about the constitution. there's a lot of people on the left at planned parenthood and others, they want to make this about abortion. they want to make this about choice. the choice is whether we're going to comply with the constitution in this country or not. whether you believe in a woman's right to choose, whether you believe in abortion, whether you believe in sterilization, yes or no, based upon your faith. based upon your preceps but the issue is should the government be telling a church what to do and what services it provides especially in deregation of its faith. >> you laid out the case absolutely perfect. >> it's a sad case. >> it is. thank you very much. what do you think about this?

boy, these women really want to beat president obama. and even if they think that newt gingrich couldn't actually win the election, they think that he would give them an rectal talking to -- he would be able to beat him and embarrass president obama. that was one of the things somebody told me. >> gretchen: married women went with gingrich 41%, which is amazing based on the fact that on thursday night, there was the interview with one of his ex wives. independents, 31% went with newt gingrich. romney got 25. that to me is more surprising because so much of the attack against mitt romney has been he's a moderate and you would think the independent likes him better. >> i think they're looking for somebody that will stand up and fight and i actually think that whatever happened with his previous marriage, i think that a lot of women set that aside and said, who could win against president obama? in south carolina, they chose newt gingrich and with resounding fashion. does that continue into florida? it will depend. remember, when newt gingrich started doing well in iowa and there were attack ads against him, he didn't like that and he came out quite angry and then that was a different type of newt gingrich. then the one we saw last week in south carolina. in going into florida, i would imagine there is some attacks about to come against the front runner again, and we'll see how he handles it. >> brian: i want to bring up one thing, when you talk about the most electable that, used to be romney by a landslide. after south carolina, they asked people on the exit tolls, 51% said newt is more electable. >> in south carolina. so then you get a little bounce out of that because even though he came in fourth in iowa and new hampshire, winning in south carolina is a big jewel. so then you get a bump in fundraising and also credibility. >> steve: sure. mr. romney has got to count guns blazeing in florida and we've gotten a few peeks at his tactic and that is newt gingrich is the ultimate insider. we've got newt gingrich responding this morning. listen. >> if you believe that line that newt gingrich is the outsider that will shake things up in washington, then i guess you believe that bill clinton didn't inhale. he had to resign in disgrace and then he's been a lobbyist for the last 15 years influenced peddling throughout those years, helping freddie mac of all people. he says he was in a story in there. i'd like to see his work product. he is the ultimate washington, d.c. insider. >> they're very frightened at the idea of a genuine outsider. i'm a reagan populist conservative and have been for my whole career i. spent 16 years working to create the house republican majority. i don't know of anybody else who did that. i worked for that many years to get welfare reform actually for 18 years to get welfare reform passed. pretty steady, pretty stable. as speaker we balanced a budget for four straight years. those are tough things to do. you rock a lot of boats. you shake up a lot of people. if people want someone who will shake up washington, i think i can do it. >> steve: he was speaker of the house. how can he be an outsider? >> his zip code was in the washington, d.c. area. but he's making a convincing case. it's hard for me to understand, i did live there for ten years, not ashamed of it. >> gretchen: not my words. i read the script. >> well, okay. i don't understand why it's such an insult, except for the pack that people want somebody who is going to do something different. hard for me to understand how somebody who actually worked in congress for 16 years, then worked in the world of congress with lobbying, writing books, he did lots of different things, but if romme can't make the case that gingrich is a washington insider, then that -- >> gretchen: i'll tell what you it is. i think they're using the wrong lingo for describing what people are liking about newt gingrich, which is he's not the establishment candidate. that's what i think the people are saying. >> brian: maybe. he'll be releasing his tax returns now. >> gretchen: finally. >> brian: even newt gingrich said that. >> steve: dana perino joining us live. you'll be the first one upstairs in the offices of "the five." >> they're actually downstairs. we haven't risen up yet. we're working on it. >> gretchen: we just told you about the president's plan to target middle class voters tomorrow night, but will they overlook the unemployment rate still stuck at 8.5%?

>> well, it will be the thousandsth day without a budget and that is a real problem. i mean, we've seen 39% increase in the national debt since president obama has been president and because harry reid will not allow budget to come to the floor and be debated and passed, which is really the only, short of governing device you have to keep spending in check, we've still got the same problem we've always had. run away spending. we've got huge debt overhang, which is killing economic growth. in other words, jobs. and we've got a regulatory environment where we see a lot of overreach that is causing the job creators to sit on the side lines and not create new jobs. so it's kind of the worst of all worlds. >> steve: no kidding. the way you framed it where it's been 1,000 days without a budget passed, the house has passed budgets. the republican-led house passes the budget, sends them to your chamber, which is run by democrats and it just languishes there. yesterday we saw john boehner on the chris wallace show where he said the rap about we're a do nothing congress, we have passed 30 jobs bills and we send them to harry reid and it sits right on his desk. >> they're dead on arrival because harry reid controls the agenda of the senate. that's something i think people really haven't gotten their brains around. they're focused on the house, which has been very active, passed the budget, as you said. the president's own proposed budget last year failed 97-0, bipartisan opposition. >> steve: it was a stinker, though. >> it was. it didn't deal with the debt. it didn't deal with run away spending and it didn't deal with the sort of predictability that the job creators in our economy need in order to make that investment, to create that. >> brian: the word is he'll have a much more direct tone. he'll bring up that he has a housing -- plan to save the housing crisis. he's going to show leadership with new ideas and he's going to make college more affordable. does that sound like something that will turn americans on? >> it sounds like a retread of the last three years. the president's approach to government is only the federal government can do this and only they know what to do and you will learn to love it. what we learned is that it's unaffordable and it won't work and it's discouraging job creation in this country. it's what the president doesn't appreciate is our free enterprise system. with less government intrusion, it provides incentives for the entrepreneurs and job creators to start new businesses and grow existing business and what we need are jobs, brian. >> steve: are you frustrated -- we saw a little of the frustration in the final debate with newt gingrich down in south carolina where he was talking about how main stream media, defending the president of the united states. when you listen to a lot of the broadcast channels, it's directly from the white house what they're saying is going on in this country. it's the do nothing congress with those darn republicans standing up against barak obama who wants to make america better. >> that's why i appreciate fox. y'all present both sides of the argument, let people decide for themselves because it does seem that the main stream media is primarily acting as cheerleader for the president and his agenda. what people don't realize what's at risk is the future of the country, the kind of prosperity that we inherited from our parents and grandparents and instead, we're going to give our children and grandchildren $48,000 each in debt the day our children are born. that's wrong. it's just wrong. >> steve: no wonder they spank them once, wake them up. >> brian: thank you so much. great to see you. >> thanks. >> brian: texas came to our couch and now we have to take a short time out. he was supposed to be deported, but the government gave him a break. now he's a suspect in three separate murders. what in the world went wrong there? >> steve: we watched as she helped so many people turn around their lives on the biggest loser. allison sweeney joins us live in two minutes. you're watching "fox & friends" live from new york city i'm jennifer hudson, and i believe. i was strong before weight watchers, but i'm stronger with it. i believe because it works. ♪ if you want it, you got it join for free. weight watchers points plus 2012. because it works. ♪ [ gong ] strawberry banana!

>> brian: i would have been able to take that hill. if there is snow and ice, go slow. not in a four wheel drive car. that's why you pay all the money. >> gretchen: there is brian right there. >> brian: it's moving in the back. >> gretchen: okay. we have to get to our headlines right now. >> brian: donald trump waits in the wingses. >> the white house allowing president sala into the united states, a move aimed at easing the political transition in yemen. it's likely the president will receive treatment for burn injuries from a blast in his pallet. he faced months of protests calling for his ouster. the government responded with a crackdown. he'll step down next month. >> brian: the turbulence on a flight so bad the food cart slammed into the roof of the cabin and made a hole in the ceiling of the plane. it all went down on an american airlines flight from brazil to miami. >> i thought i was going to die. >> one of them got thrown up in the air. he flew and landed in the hallway. we thought everything shaking. >> brian: five flight attendants were hurt and taken to the hospital. steve? >> steve: brian, he had no business being in the country, but police now say a haitian immigrant killed three people before turning the gun on himself. the miami herald reports that the man was supposed to be deported to haiti after being convicted of burglary. but president obama stopped deporting haitians following that massive earthquake in their country. so when he finished his sentence, immigration officials set him free. he committed the murders two months after his release. >> gretchen: is "american idol" judge jennifer lopez supporting iran and al-qaeda? outrageous as it sounds, that's what a group called united against nuclear iran is claiming. the group says her fiat commercials amount to support for the terror organization because fiat does business with iran. they're now urging lopez to cut all ties with fiat. >> brian: joining us on the telephone, it is monday. so it means donald trump time. he's the man behind the apprentice. welcome back. >> good morning. >> brian: south carolina belongs to mitt. a convincing victim repeat -- convincing repeat. >> it's nothing short of amazing. if you look a week ago works weeks ago, he was over and he's done an amazing job. his debating skills are phenomenal and he took probably the most negative question you could ask somebody and made it into a positive. i have women that say they're voting for him. like he took probably one of the worst questions you could ask a candidate and knocked it out of the park and you have to give him a lot of credit. >> steve: the one thing that so many of us here, donald, is the fact that given the fact that he is so good, newt gingrich is, on the debate stage, they just want to see newt versus barak because that will be the cage match to end all cage matches. but if they do meet, the big question after that is, can -- forget about whether or not newt could beat him on the stage, but could he win the general election? >> well, i think he could and you have to understand, mitt romney is a good debater also. he's had some problems on the one big issue which is surprising because everybody knows it's going to come up and that's the income tax return. but he is a very good debater. but mitt has just been doing unbelievably well in the debating and i think he'd do -- you talk about a great show, i think he'd do amazing against obama. >> gretchen: so let me ask you this, because you are a business leader. is it better to have the characteristics of a newt gingrich that some people say is sort of this angry, lashing out against the media and the establishment, or is it better to have sort of the coolness and the calm under fire approach that mitt romney seems to have? >> well, i think both characteristics are good. right now the newt seems to be doing better. this is 2012, people are looking for something that's different and you really have to give him credit for, he was down and out twice and over. i mean, two weeks ago it was over. then you look at him now and now it's going to be interesting to see what happens in florida. both good men. both talented men. mitt has to get those tax returns out. i'm a little bit surprised that they weren't better prepared for that. but i assume everything is fine with the taxes and i assume everything is fine with his returns. but he's going to be putting them out tomorrow and that's probably something he has to do. >> brian: rich lower writes today that the republican party is panicking because to the public, newt gingrich is radioactive. do you have think he can win the general if he gets the nomination? >> he may be radioactive burks every time he stands at a podium, he just seems to beat everybody and the next day his numbers go up. as you know, the presidential races are all -- a lot of that is based on debates. you look at nixon-kennedy, so many of the different races, nixon was winning by a mile and then he had the debate and kennedy was great. he was less than great. he wore the wrong suit. he didn't look good. and all of a sudden, he goes from winning to losing. the debates are very important that he's a great debater. >> gretchen: i don't think you can make any predictions based on what we've just seen from saturday and then you go back four or five months. let me ask you this about the tax returns: will we see any surprises in this? you're a guy who has made a lot of money and probably paid 15% capital gains on investments and such. do you expect any surprises? >> i can't imagine it, gretchen, because mitt has been running for, what, seven, eight years. so you know if you're running, at a minimum, probably you're going to have to show your returns. not always. i saw ron paul said he's not going to give his returns. nobody made a big deal out of that. sort of interesting. he said, i'm not showing my returns. nobody even said anything about it. but if you're running and you've got seven years under your belt, i would imagine everything is 100% perfect. you would certainly think so. >> brian: your prediction on florida, who is going to win? >> i think it's going to be very close. mitt was way up and we haven't seen any polls yet, burr i think it will be a very, very close race and there is a lot of pressure on both of them. but actually right now mitt romney has more pressure. he's got to come out and he's got to come out swinging. he's got to be more assertive. >> steve: it's game on in the sunshine state. donald trump, we know you got a connection to florida and this program. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> steve: see you back here next monday. >> gretchen: we're still waiting for his endorsement. >> steve: i think he endorses us. >> brian: with the feds not doing enough to create job, local lawmakers are taking matters into their own hands. coming up, the mayors who are taking drastic measures to bring their towns back from the brink. >> gretchen: massachusetts senator scott brown is here and standing behind president obama on one of his most controversial decisions to date. we'll tell what you that is and the senator is here live. fantastic >> brian: the gloves are off in florida after newt gingrich's south carolina stunner. mitt romney has been busy attacking the former speaker. will it be enough to slow down newt's momentum? >> gretchen: guess who is here to weigh in on that. massachusetts republican senator scott brown. of course, he endorsed mitt romney long ago. i was just asking you when did you that. >> he is one of the nicest, honest, hard working men i've ever met. when it comes to the economic issues, there is nobody that can compete and get us back from stepping back from that financial precipice. >> gretchen: let's talk about your own race. you're going up against elizabeth warren who took credit for starting the occupy wall street movement, so i think you're coming at it from two different points of view. you've gotten her to sign some sort of a pledge, or about to sign some pledge with regard to negative advertising. >> all the super pac groups who come in and hammer away, i put forth a document, legal and binding, asking that all of these negative ads stay out of massachusetts. the people of massachusetts can decide and make their own determination. i signed it twice, she made recent tweaks and i accept. it's a good way to keep these ads out, by having 50% of that negative or positive ad go to the charity of the other person's choice, it's an incentive to keep those groups out. >> brian: this just came out. you were telling me it just came through and essentially she says, all right. i'm on. we'll be the first in the state to do it. >> first in the country to do it. has real teeth. >> gretchen: why do you think it's so important to get rid of the negative ads? >> they're false and misleading. people know better. they're smarter. if they want to learn about the candidate, we're in a financial emergency. people are hurting. they want to understand how the particular candidates are going to draw distinctions and get their vote, earn their vote. they don't need these outside groups trying to buy elections and do things inappropriately. >> brian: we invited elizabeth warren on and she declined to come on. so just so you know. we're going to move on. talk about the recess appointment, something you agree with president obama on. that's okay with you. why is that okay? >> bottom line is, dysfunction in washington. they're holding things up just to hold them up and not to solve problems. we're in trouble right now. if we don't start working together, 'cause there is no democrat bill that's going to pass and no republican bill that's going to pass. we need to work in a bipartisan way because we're american first. to head these agencies that are rudderless right now is a mistake. nome to compete globally, but to see if some of these agencies are going to work. are we going to fix them? we need to work together. i would rather it go the other way, but we have to do something. we can't keep going the path we're in. >> gretchen: some people say you supported the recess appointment because it went all the way back to dodd frank, that you had supported that piece of legislation. >> sure, i supported it. i supported the department. actually holly petraeus is running the veterans portion of it to protect our heros coming back from war. so yes, i want to see if it's going to work. if it doesn't, we'll fix it. but to do nothing, i'm not gog do that. >> brian: our first question topic, even people like governor kristy, say you got to get the fire back. you got to be expressing yourself. you got to understand your wealth and how to communicate that. do you have any advice to him, because if even your biggest critic would say, senator brown can connect with people. >> bottom line, governor romney is the guy for me. he's one of the nicest, honest -- >> brian: has he shown that? >> i think he has. listen, you're dealing not only with a strong candidates on the other side running against him, but you have these super pacs and all this negativity and you have to really cut through kind of all the bs and really go forward and see what the candidates are offering and who will be able to take on the president when it comes to the economic issues, especially when it's critically important. he'll do well in florida. it will be a battle and it won't be over. they'll continue to go on. remember, president obama and hillary went 'til june. >> gretchen: that was very -- >> january? >> gretchen: we got a lot more shows to do. let me ask you this about the strategy of president obama. he's going to paint you out to be the bad guy. not you singularly, because you voted for his recess appointment, but do you think that strategy will work? >> the president has some very real issues and, $11.9 trillion national debt when i got there. it's rising. no effort to address the economic issues that we're trying to wrestle with. no leadership when it comes to getting our debt and deficit under control. so he wants to go and blame congress because hey, we have a low approval rating. but bottom line is, there are people of goodwill in congress who are trying very, very hard to work. but when the majority leader moves a bill, shuts off debate, doesn't allow any amendments and tries to score political points, no wonder we're not getting anything done. when he allows to us move forward, we could do that every day if they wanted to. >> brian: if you played him, do you get a chance to play him one on one in basketball? >> he won't play me? >> brian: he will not play you? >> there is a reason for that. >> brian: he'd lose! you qualified for the national team for triathlete. >> i can't go and it's something i do in my spare time and i love running and working out and it keeps me balanced so i can represent the people. >> brian: yesterday i was a little bored, i ran a marathon. >> drinking a beer. >> brian: that's about it. you're in fine shape. thanks for coming in. >> working hard, i appreciate your support and anyone wants to get involved, go to scottbrown.com and learn more. >> gretchen: good to see you. coming up, what washington won't do, they'll do on their own, our next guest, mayors taking drastic measures to save their cities. there they are. >> brian: first, let's check in with bill hemmer for what's on top of the hour. >> congratulations to your giants. that's a typical sunday for you. you go out, triathalon. >> brian: yes, it is. that was secret until now. >> good morning. next stop is in a fellow, guys -- is florida. mitt romney is in for a fight. he's live here this morning on "america's newsroom." also rick scott will tell us what matters to vote increase his state, whether or not he will endorse anyone prior to the big vote next tuesday. and breaking news on this deadly weather. tornadoes in january. it does not happen like this. martha and i will see you in 11 minutes here on "america's newsroom" are you receiving a payout from a legal settlement or annuity over 10 or even 20 years? call imperial structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today. >> steve: welcome back. the national unemployment rate nationally is 8.5% and in some city, the situation is much worse. we are joined by mayors of three towns with unemployment problems. fresno, california mayor. from mesa, arizona and carmel, indiana mayor and join us from all across the country. jim is in london this morning of the good morning to all of you. the reason we're having you mayors on today is because according to the u.s. conference of mayor which is just concluded your annual meeting, only one in ten cities across america, only one in ten, has regained the jobs they lost before the crash. only one in ten, mayor swearingen. that's a problem, particularly there in fresno where the unemployment is 15.7%. >> yes, it is. it's a huge problem. and look, we've got to see our local businesses he can up and down. we at the city are doing what we can to put the infrastructure in place to support their expansion. but we also have to talk about training up our work force. the fact of the matter is, we've got jobs available today in fresno that are going unfilled because of the mismatch between the skills of the people looking for work and the jobs that are available. >> steve: sure. and scott, while people complain about washington, d.c., that's so far away, they can at least complain when things go bad to folks locally and in particular oftentimes to their mayor, such as yourself. one of the big problems in your town of mesa is the housing market cratered and because of what washington is not doing, your housing problem is not getting any better. >> you find out real quick that it's a very short route from what happens in washington to the local level. certainly in arizona where we saw the boom in the mid 2,000s, we saw the big bust. it seems to have sort of settled down. there might be a glimmer, but until we get the housing market a little bit back on its feet, we're going to continue to struggle. >> steve: yeah. jim, the static one in ten cities, only one in ten regained the job losses that they had before the economy went to the south. i know you were quoted as saying, and you're a republican, democrat mayors are angrier than republicans because they feel more shut out. could you explain that to me? >> i think there is feeling on the part of mayors throughout the country that the administration has not done a lot to help cities, which is a national constituency for this president and it's a bit baffling to a lot of us on both sides of the aisle. the key is, we really need the president and the congress to come together and put together a business plan that shows over a period of years, so we don't have -- we're not thrown into a greater recession, but over a period of years, show how we'll start bringing in more money than we spent. if we can do that, businesses will take note, our allies will take note. most importantly, democracy is a hard thing. representative government is hard. we need to work at it and we need to have our citizens confident that our system actually works. >> steve: sure. ashley, you've only been mayor three years and all you have known during your job as mayor has been big cuts, deficits. that's been the new normal for you. >> that is. in fact, i think mayor brainard's point is a good one. it's so important that we in the government arena demonstrate we can reduce our expense, live within our means and still provide the level of services that people need. that's what we've been focused on here in fresno and that gives a sense of confidence to our local business community. we're doing what it takes to balance our budget at city hall and that gives them a stable platform they need potentially expand their business. >> steve: scott, how angry are the people in your town? >> well, they're upset. they're upset that nothing is being done in washington, upset they can't make a decision. they do see at the local level that mayors and local governments have grasped this problem, dealt with it, have done what we could to continue to provide services and angry that washington can't seem to get anything done. >> steve: yeah. and mayor brainard, final word, that's the problem, if dc could get off the mark, so could all of you. >> i think so. i think there is a confidence of -- crisis of confidence and we need leadership out of washington. we need to see that we're going to have a balanced budget and that our federal government can get its affairs in order. at that point, the business community and our citizens will be optimistic, they'll have hope and things will get better. >> steve: indeed. well put. mayor, we thank you very much for joining us all across the country and across the pond as well. >> thank you very much. >> steve: you bet. all right.
