Guests: CARL CAMERON & STEVE BROWN

With just one week left before the Iowa caucuses, guest host Greg Gutfeld began Tuesday's program with Fox News correspondents Carl Cameron and Steve Brown, both reporting from the Hawkeye State. "There are two important headlines today," Cameron began. "One, Newt Gingrich is aggressively criticizing one of his rivals, Mitt Romney. Mr. Gingrich had said he would be relentlessly positive and not criticize his rivals. Two, Mitt Romney had been keeping Iowa at arm's length, but now he is really going all in with ads and town halls and radio spots and direct mail. The Romney campaign is playing to win this." Brown raised the possibility that severe weather next Tuesday could have a negative impact on both Romney and Gingrich. "The nightmare scenario for a lot of the campaigns is that if the weather gets bad, Ron Paul's people will still show up because of their fanatical devotion to the guy. They are described as folks who would walk off a cliff for the Congressman. I have yet to talk to a campaign that does not think Ron Paul is a solid lock for a top three position and winning it is a complete possibility."

Guests: CHIP SALTSMAN & ROBERT ZIMMERMAN

A document has surfaced indicating that Newt Gingrich once offered high praise for Mitt Romney's Massachusetts health care plan, the same plan Gingrich now denounces. Greg analyzed the issue with Republican strategist Chip Saltsman and Democrat Robert Zimmerman. "There's no question Gingrich has flip-flopped," Saltsman said, "but he flip-flopped to the side of where the voters are. They don't like big government health care systems like what happened in Massachusetts." Zimmerman contended that most Republican candidates are pandering to extreme conservatives. "Romney and Gingrich are so desperately trying to appeal to the far right wing of their party that they're losing all credibility. The individual mandate was initially a conservative principle." Greg gleefully added that Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi has reportedly checked in to a $10,000 a night hotel suite in Hawaii. "She does look like a hypocrite," Greg said. "Here's somebody who was falling in love with 'Occupy Wall Street' and at the same time living like she works on Wall Street."

Guests: ALAN COLMES & MARY KATHARINE HAM

Greg asked Fox News analysts Alan Colmes and Mary Katharine Ham to explain President Obama's recent bump in public opinion polls. "The numbers are going in the right direction," Colmes said, "because the Republicans don't have a message and they're imploding. The President is pretty much where he should be." Even Ham conceded that President Obama's approval numbers are improving. "The trend is slightly moving up for him. There has been somewhat better economic news, troops are coming home from Iraq, and another fight with Congress may be goosing his numbers a little bit. But it's silly to say he's where he wants to be." Employing one of his patented twisted metaphors, Greg opined that it's too early in the process to focus on presidential polls: "Looking at poll numbers now is like seeing a Burger King commercial at 10 AM, you're not ready for it."

Guest: Bill Clinton

Greg introduced portions of Bill's interview with President Clinton, who visited the No Spin Zone for the first time last week. Some excerpts:

O'Reilly: I'd say President Obama's chances to be reelected are 50-50 at this point. Would that be fair?
Clinton: I think they're a little better than that. His approval is up in the past few weeks.
O'Reilly: You worked with Newt Gingrich. Do you respect him?
Clinton: I respect his ability to think and do, and I eventually hammered out a really productive relationship with him.
O'Reilly: Do you respect him as a man?
Clinton: I don't disrespect anybody who works with me in good faith. He was way more political than I would have been. He has defended what he calls 'scorched-earth politics' and I certainly was the beneficiary of that.
O'Reilly: Was he an enemy of yours while you were in the White House?
Clinton: Until he got to be Speaker and until the government shutdown changed the public mood ... When we were working together I enjoyed it and I think he has a lot of knowledge and he comes up with some quite creative ideas.
O'Reilly: What about Mitt Romney? Do you know him?
Clinton: A little bit. Unlike you, I like the Massachusetts health care bill. The Massachusetts system is more expensive than the rest of America, but it was before the health care bill passed. Inflation in health care costs in Massachusetts has been less than in the country as a whole since it passed.
O'Reilly: If you had to vote between Romney and Gingrich, you'd go for?
Clinton: I am not going to get into that Republican primary, no way!

Guests: KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE & JONNA SPILBOR

Hundreds of rowdy teens roamed Minnesota's massive Mall of America Monday, engaging in fights and generally terrorizing shoppers. Legal experts Kimberly Guilfoyle and Jonna Spilbor assessed the situation. "What's so weird about this," Guilfoyle reported, "is that this big fight broke out but no one really knows the genesis of it. Supposedly there was a rumor that two rappers were at the mall who really weren't there." Spilbor added that police only arrested ten of the miscreants. "There were hundreds of people involved in this and I'm surprised they only rounded up ten of them. Disorderly conduct is a little baby charge and nothing is really going to happen if they're convicted. But they shouldn't be running around like monsters at the mall." Greg called the incident a sign of the times, saying, "We've become more permissive and people are scared to confront kids because they fear they'll be hurt or sued."

Guest: Condoleeze Rice

Greg reprised Bill's recent interview with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who responded to Dick Cheney's claim that she had come into his office and cried at one particularly tense moment. "I don't know why he said I was crying," she said, "maybe the tears were in his eyes. I cried when I saw wounded soldiers, I cried when I was sitting with the victims of rape in Darfur, but in the Vice President's office? No!" Bill also asked Rice about former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has occasionally criticized her tenure. "Don is kind of an irascible, grumpy guy," Rice said, "and I think sometimes he had trouble with the fact that we were now colleagues - he had been my mentor. But these were substantive disagreements, not personal disagreements."
