In the campaigns -- twelve segment guys you may know former Utah governor Jon Huntsman not doing very well in the polls as he seeks the Republican nomination for president but.

Mr.

-- not giving up.

You know -- like to start with something you never get to hear the debates governor Huntsman the first question is for you.

Yeah -- -- national player currently polling in the low single digits it is truce that.

But only a few months ago I was polling -- margin of error so to have any digits at all it's a pretty good deal.

I've since the governor is being a good sport about things we decided to feature him tonight on the fact.

So -- you are basically.

Running behind a little bit a little bit a little bit but -- -- you're still competing.

Of course we are and one of the ways you're competing is going after Mitt Romney in some polls he is the front runner I want to show the folks.

Com one of -- league stats go.

He has not appeared on this program or news Sunday in front -- and -- Nevada governor Romney and then there's room that his campaign says he's not running.

Okay for the record run has been on this program a few times and this is a pretty tough venue what do you -- -- get across there wide take that kind of an -- Getting elected president need to get -- and talk to the American people.

It means you don't shy away from interviews it means you get out there at a time when there is limited trust on the part of the American people toward.

Institutions of power and politicians to what does that say -- you admit running into a Sunday show or hasn't -- lot of press conference is what does is say you went to its estimate that you're free to get out there and be questioned on on your on your positions but he's not afraid of me and I don't -- -- pretty tough on everyone you guys will.

There are other shows out there that the better one -- -- on there well maybe it's just very good taste in one's from on this program.

-- -- So say the folks by the commercial -- that Mitt Romney is being very cautious and I don't think that's that's not true I think he is being cautious he feels that he's in a very.

Good position right now -- lets everybody else go up and down below each other up.

So.

Saying they buy what you say is should they just don't Mitt Romney line and not.

-- consider him well this isn't about.

-- like that that we're putting on this is about jobs I mean let's get right to the bottom line the selection.

Is not about personalities is about issues but I think Romney in UN and Gingrich and Bachmann and all of you guys have the same on jobs I think you pretty much the same that that that is in the case -- you don't think -- -- -- the case you want smaller government correct -- listen.

Look at.

My record but do you want smaller gonna look at my of course -- do okay.

Look at my record written you -- the record look at Gingrich -- record you know compare and contrast that's with the voters -- gonna do eventually.

We're gonna look at where -- -- -- -- -- and they're gonna make an informed decision that you want you want smaller government right.

Of course you don't -- -- raise taxes do we have the largest tax cut in the history of the -- OK in Utah all right so.

They all agree with that they want small government they want they don't wanna raise taxes -- want to stimulate the private sector.

So they create jobs not the government.

Correct course that's all they want that.

Well I don't see a big difference between us and you have money if your if you if you raise taxes yet understated as Romney -- 750.

Million dollars column fees taxes whatever -- increases are -- burden on whoever's paying it.

You deliver a one size fits all government centric health care solution that has seen prices go up for the average family 2500 bucks quality go down.

Emergency room visits go up.

That's not -- are going delivered a free market does solution for health dramas about 2223%.

You you wanna take from him you wanna take people who considering him.

To come over you might get that's one get Mathis elections are about comparing and contrasting records but you're not gonna get the army -- people -- not -- -- why not because -- too conservative well.

They're just beginning now to look at my record built towards global warming as soon as you say that you consider global warming army game people are this or so at the very beginning you know -- -- there right let's go to the next person but you know what they've been through a whole lot of people in the coming around to that Huntsman guy in -- saying.

He's still there they'll take a look at that you take a look at let's take what -- record video -- -- look at the record as saying.

Largest tax cut in the history of the state number one and job creation.

Pro life always has been.

Pro Second Amendment.

Voucher the second veteran bill in the entire United States Health Care Reform without a mandate that's a pretty conservative record there that people are just beginning to walk -- -- -- the -- do.
