>> speaker gingrich, senator santorum just mentioned it, the surge in unemployment has created these so-called 99ers, people who collect benefits for the maximum 99 weeks offered now. what is the maximum length anyone should be able to collect unemployment checks? >> well, you know, i think there's a better way to think about this. all unemployment compensation should be tied to a job training requirement. if somebody can't find a job and they show up and they say, you know, i need help, the help we ought to give them is to get them connected to a business run training program to acquire the skills to be employable. now the fact is, 99 weeks is an associate degree.

voted to allow them to have their voting rights back once they completed their sentence. do you agree with that? >> 30 seconds to respond. >> i don't think people who have committed violent crimes should be allowed to vote again. that's my own view. [applause] >> last thing. senator. >> very interesting you should say that because in the state of massachusetts when you were governor, the law was that not only could violent felons vote after they exhausted their sentences, but he this could vote while they were on probation and parole which was a more liberal position that i took when i voted for the bill in the congress. >> governor. >> if, in fact, you -- if, in fact, you felt so passionately about this that you are now going to have somebody go out and criticize me for restoring voting rights for people who exhausted their sentence and served their time and paid their debt to society, why didn't you change that when you were governor of massachusetts?

walked off with the cash and i think they're going to have to eventually explain that. i think last night it was interesting that romney agreed that he ought to release his income tax. he doesn't want to do it until april. i think the people of south carolina deserve to know now, i mean, if there's nothing there, why hide it until april and if there's something there, don't the people of south carolina deserve to know before saturday? but there's a bigger question here. south carolina has a chance to either nominate a moderate or to nominate a conservative and i'm the only conservative in a position to take on romney and then to ultimately take on obama and my goal for the next four days is to focus on saying the conservatives, let's get together and the one candidate who can stop romney from being the nominee and i need every conservative in south carolina to join me in making sure that we do not nominate somebody who i think is far too moderate to be an effective debater against president obama. >> i have to ask you, the couple, the bain capital issue doesn't sound like a g.o.p.er.

blue outbid the others. now they are running it in south carolina. newt gingrich has the advantage of whatever it is that the documentary does to disillusion people about mitt romney works to his advantage. but he can say i really hate that documentary. i think the inaccuracies in it need to be corrected or it should be taken off the air all together. meanwhile, the folks at the superpac say, sorry, we can't communicate. they are still running it. >> they are still checking out the facts. i love the fact you just pointed something out. you can now create a 27-minute negative documentary. it's not really a documentary. and then advertise it on speck. there must be somebody that wants to destroy his reputation. here's joe scarborough asking mitt romney whether he could tell his pro-romney superpac to quit airing anti-gingrich

mitt romney's moment in the debate last night when he was asked about releasing his income tax returns, here's a look at that: >> i think i've heard enough from folks saying look, let's see your tax records, i have nothing in them to suggest there's any problem and i'm happy to do so. i sort of feel like we're showing a lot of exposure at this point, and if i become our nominee, and what's happened in history is people have released them in about april of the coming year and that's what i'd do. jenna: carl has told us this is not a presidential issue but looking at voters, is this something we want to know about the candidate, brit, before we get down the road any further? >> look, we want to know if they have anything to hide and eventually mitt romney is going to have to release his tax returns, as indeed he indicated he would do. he hasn't given a definitive date as to when he would do that. i don't think that the fact that somebody hasn't given a definitive date about something that they indicated as he said he'd be happy to do is much of a voting issue.

quickly. >> look, one thing you can know and that is if we reelect barack obama, iran will have a nuclear weapon. if we elect mitt romney, if you elect me as the next president they will not have a nuclear weapon. jenna: how can we 100% guarantee iran will never have a nuclear weapon? what is the best way? >> it is a harsh decision somebody has to make because right now the odds on end result is that iran will get nuclear weapons unless somebody uses military force to break their program. there is simply no doubt about it. i think the biggest risk right now is that iran can look at the calendar too. they see we have got elections coming up and i think they would rather have a weak obama administration in office when they get their nuclear capacity. so if anything, i think it means that iran speeds up its program. and that in turn brings into play the possibility that israel, looking at exactly the same reality, will make its own decision one way or

idea including among republicans and conservatives. so much so i wouldn't be surprised to see if not in the next congress, very soon, republicans joining an effort to say the supreme court has spoken, this is now the law of the land we can't change it not immediately let's at least see where the money comes from. somebody's name should be attached here, keep in mind right now, contribute all kind of secret money and your name may never be known that it's coming from you. >> do you think there is enough negative sort of blow-back against candidates from off message statements that are nevertheless supposed to be toward their benefit that candidates are more worried about the lack of coordination than they are happy to have billionaires dumping in unlimited money on their behalf? i realize newt gingrich got in trouble for the bain stuff and he backed off but i'm not sure that that trouble is more valuable than the hit against mitt romney that that money got

article 2, central to our democracy and second of all, we're not just talking about i.d. here. there are plenty of states that require or request i.d. before somebody goes and votes. the issue here is requiring i.d. that 11% of americans don't have, and saying if you don't have that i.d., your vote's not going to count, period. >> on that point, how many of these cases when it comes to voter fraud, where someone is using a different i.d. or trying to vote twice, when you look at the tifklook at the tifk s the tifktatistics, when you thi of the number of people that vote, it's a real blip on the radar, if anything. correct? >> it is. a person is more likely to be struck by lightning than to commit the kind of in-person voter fraud that these laws are supposedly meant to protect against, and as i said, 11% of voting aged eligible americans do not have this kind of i.d.

launch its bain attack in the fall. mr. romney can face the atag now, head on and begin not innoculating himself from the issue, but exhausting it. although, it's not that clear, his work at bain. it's not black and white. the attacks aren't completely unfair, are they, donny? >> it's capitalism. the logical answer is this -- >> by the way -- sometimes even if you slash and burn a company, you're saving jobs because they'd be gone if you didn't do it. it's capitalism. i think people understand at the root that he's a businessman. and i think that stuff deflects off of him. >> it would be a big difference, peggy, and thank you for saying that. because i, i almost passed out watching my own show yesterday. >> hey. >> thank you for saying that. >> the fact is, peggy, that when you engage in acts of capitalism, some people get fired. some people get hired. some companies, if, if i know somebody who is good at turning around a company, that's about
