no doubt about that. one last question for you, big debate. fox news debate in iowa tonight. these polls are shifting by the second. we re about to show people some pretty new interesting numbers in a moment here. you ran against president obama last time around. who do you think can beat him this time? i think any one of them can but i also want to say, martha, in all due respect to fox, enough with debates. they have deteriorated who will make a mistake. there is lot more to campaigning than just debates. you have to do town hall meetings. you have to be on the ground. you have to make speeches. you have to do a lot of things. a debate takes three days of a candidates time. the day before, the day of, and day after. in my view enough debates. martha: you re not picking a winner at this point sounds like? no. martha: we ll try you next time. senator mccain, always good to talk to you, sir. thank you so much. we ll see you soon. thank you. bill: you tried. martha: i tried. bill:
bill: check out this hot police chase. north of sydney, australia. a man and woman reportedly car have been jacked that vehicle and took off, left the city, went out to the countryside. police put down road spikes as the driver tried to swerve around them, he was hit from the side, and that ends it. both suspects taken into custody. don t know if they were texting at the time though. martha: probably, right? bill: not quite sure. martha: well, here s the big question: is mitt romney the best republican candidate in this field when it comes to going up against the president? take a look at the brand new numbers that show romney would be the strongest candidate against president obama next november? we asked him about these numbers yesterday, he said he felt fairly good about them. obviously, he d like to be beating the president in these polls. ed rollins joins me now, political campaign manager, also fox news contributor. ed, we love having you here, so welcome back. what do you think?
that ll be a matter of investigation. some of these are equipped with self-destruction protocols. it s possible that they lost contact and didn t want to blow up a $40 million plus piece of equipment without knowing what was going on. but that will have to be looked into. i do think, though, to try to go in and do a unilateral strike it would have been great to deny them the ability to try to reverse engineer our technology. however, you need to know the location of it in order to do that, and we ve just seen with the iranian assassination plot on u.s. soil to kill the saudi ambassador that the iranian revolutionary guard might take actions against us in our own soil, so we d have to be prepared for repercussions. martha: chad, it is a sticky, awful situation really that we re dealing with. thanks so much for weighing in on it, we appreciate your expertise. thank you. bill: coming up in a few minutes, jenna lee standing by for happening now, what s cooking, jenna? jenna: we re go
right through amining that if you do not iowa meaning if you do not pick up those key electoral votes, you may not win in 2012. keep an eye on that. martha: we re going to be watching, bill. all right, coming up former new york mayor rudy giuliani has a little bit of advice for mitt romney. did you see him this morning? interesting stuff. he said stop with the negativity, he told the folks on the curvy couch that romney doesn t seem to understand what it is voters want in terms of what they want to see in the country right now. he says they want ideas, not attacks. watch this. i was really offended by his comment that newt gingrich is zany. i mean, that isn t, that isn t the kind of language that should be coming from a candidate. and it reminds me of what mitt did in 08 where he attacked me, he attacked mccain, he attacked huckabee. whoever was out front mitt would attack, sometimes personal attacks.
her thighbone was broken and blood clots. even worse for robert champion. he was killed, found dead on the bus after a game, martha. martha: unbelievable what is going on. like the worst what you heard in fraternity stories in the past. steve, thank you very much. steve harrigan with the latest on that. really disturbing story. how sad for these kids to be in that situation. bill: hope we get a solution to this. $1.2 billion missing from a big investment firm and no one seems to know how. what a new hearing on the hill could tell us today. stay tuned on that. martha: big news. it has been one year since border patrol agent brian terry was killed on duty. now the head of the fbi, robert mueller denies his agency was involved in any cover-up of this. i adamantly rejecting the suggestion that the fbi would in any way cover up the, what happened in a tragic killing of brian terry. martha: we re going to have
