firefighters have known about the change since last june and the memo was a reminder. the city's new fire chief said he wanted the logo to include ems all the city's fire crews and ambulances will have the logo and they will pay for the change on fire fighting gear but other clothing is the responsibility of individual firefighters estimated cost, 3 to $400 each. what is not fair is they have

political eyes on the hawk eye state this morning as the iowa caucuses get under way joining us with a preview, paul singer good morning to you. so this is the day we've started early with the contests. >> here we are. what are we likely to see in your opinion. >> looks like we are coming down to the top tier, looks like romney is in the top tier possibly ron paul is in the top tier interesting to see who the third person is whether gingrich or santorum, if it is santorum, it is a big victory for santorum if gingrich is not on the top tier it is a real blow for him it will be one of these things where everyone now the interesting part will be not only the numbers but the spin that comes out. >> i find the newt gingrich story such a fascinating almost a microcosm of this whole thing. you are hot one day next day you are not doing well. what is happening. >> keep in mind no body has cast a vote yet, in the nine months we have been playing this game, what we've had is polls, and media stories and advertisements the advertisements against newt have been negative media stories not strong frankly he doesn't have a lot of support even in washington amongst the republican establishment they thing he is a flawed candidate he saw a bubble rise and then crest and said himself he doesn't expect to win iowa today. >> might that bubble start to ascend again >> i doubt it my suspicion is when you get out of iowa you have your primary candidates i expect romney he may only take 25% of the votes in iowa it may be enough to win this time around four years ago he got the same vote but lost to huckabee because all their conservatives got onboard with huckabee. this time around it is likely to be more unclear definition of who these anti romney candidates are. if gingrich is in the top tier that is good for him now we go to new hampshire where romney is a favorite and then south carolina, it is not clear who has the organization to win there then florida by the end of january we will have several major nominating contests and romney is the only one we know to be positioned well in each of those it is hard to see where anybody else really rises out of that bubble. >> when we talk about the candidates we pop up the heads of all of these candidates what happens, say february 1st, how many heads pop up when we talk about who is still in this race >> i don't know, the way the republicans have rejiggered their nominating process the theory was it might take longer to determine, it will take longer to add up all the delegates. >> there are the pop up heads. >> yeah. >> i think if romney does win iowa and wins new hampshire and if he wins in south carolina it is hard to imagine anybody else, and then florida by the end of the month it is entirely possible he has it wrapped up by the end of january, even if some of the other candidates, like ron paul will still go through the process of taking 10, 15% or 20% in each contested primary but i think a lot of candidates, will just drop off they don't have the money can't raise the money. >> this is an expensive venture. >> it is. >> people who aren't fairing so well now why do they stay in? is this the after life the book tour the speaking tour? >> well, once you have stood up and said i believe i am the most qualified to be president of the united states, at what point do you then turn around and look in the mirror and say okay well, maybe not me. that must be a very very hard thing to do particularly when writing checks and saying i believe in you you are the one go. it is tough you are making an argument very few people can make they could be the leader of the free world, it must be tough to decide suddenly maybe i am not. >> maybe not. let's talk about john hunts man how interesting is it that he is basically said i am moving on to new hampshire, i don't want to use the word negatively but ignoring iowa. >> you just started that sentence no one else has said in the past week and a half let's talk about john hunts man you play to your strengths in all political battles you play to your strengths knowing this was not his strength he chose to play to his strength, it is a calculated risk maybe he will pull off something dramatic in iowa, again, one big win can suddenly boost your media bubble, you can become the candidate due jour. if you are not going to win in iowa, maybe your best bet is not contest it, play something else. >> got him on saturday night live this weekend. >> there you go >> chef >> happy new year. >> you too. >> steve over to you. >>

like we make two freaking much money to be this broke and really get committed to changing the way you handle your money. >> what is the first step? how do we do it? some of these things you are talking about are drastic means. >> once you've got that level of disgust this level of internal passion to motivate you to really change then of course you need a plan you need a road map that is the dreaded b word the budget. yeah, we got to write it down if you don't tell your money what to do you will always wonder where it went you have to happen to your money or at least, people who do a written plan these are people with masters degrees, people who make a lot of money, people who haven't got a lot of education doesn't matter when you start writing it down, the money starts behaving, and you get a sense of power over it. >> seems just like dieting when you write down all the bad stuff you eat you see it on the paper you tend to change your ways a bit. >> exactly you are making a

people have enough brain cell power to look down and go that's dumb we know what's dumb we just kind of avoid it we know what makes us fat but eat it any way. so you know when you make that list, for your food you make that list for your money the problem areas, weak spots will be glaring up at you and you will go, we really got to stop that. i had one guy i was sitting in class with teaching years ago when we added it up we spent $1,200 on restaurants per month, we didn't have a retirement plan because we have been eating it. >> are credit cards the problem. >> it is a form of denial you are acting like you have money you don't have, and you don't feel the pain when you use plastic, if you carry some benjamin franklins around your pocket uncle ben becomes part of the family you start to spend with cash you will feel the pain it activates the pain centers of the brain. credit cards are like woe i am spending money it didn't matter it is not real >> you are talking about with the kids too this is kind of drastic, i don't have kids but alison sitting next to me has three girls get rid of allowance and go a different route >> i still think you need to teach kids about money we
