it s what we do every night keeping them honest. as always, we re not taking political sides here. we re trying to figure out what is true and what is not. we begin tonight with a romney ad. in 1996, president clinton and a bipartisan congress helped end welfare as we know it, by requiring work for welfare. on july 12th, president obama quietly announced a plan to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements. under obama s plan, you wouldn t have to work and wouldn t have to train for a job. they just send you your welfare check. welfare to work goes back to being plain old welfare. you ll hear from newt gingrich who joins us to defend that ad but also makes a stunning admission whether that ad he s defending is also speaking the facts. also mitt romney on the claims made in that ad. he removed the requirement of work from welfare. it is wrong to make any change that would make america more of a nation of government depend denicy. we must restore and i will restore
