we bring back rick santorum from cedar rapids. do you agree the big picture some people have been helped in some have been hurt by this? in the end, has helped some people. . it certainly has helped some people, but the bottom line is, the people have health insurance, fairly small number, 40 modicon uninsured down to 30. and other than that commit joined obama care. and as far as the new entrance, increased him medicaid. we could have avoided obama care, and done away with all the other things that obama care in place that you listen to the people earlier and the original, obama care, found out, that is not true. the president was not telling the truth and they could not keep their plan. this plan cost a lot more, federal government that you have all these benefits that you may or may not want. this is a government one size fits all approach. it's not working and costing trillions of dollars. if you look at the president has done everything from start insurance companies. the federal government gave money to people to start insur

have with us today republican presidential candidate senator rick santorum. you know him well, he's been in iowa seems like the last four years straight, but maybe not. a former two-term united states senator from the state of pennsylvania, also former congressman for that state. remember, he won the most recent iowa republican caucus four years ago in 2012. he also won 11 primaries or caucuses that year, finishing second to eventually republican nominee mitt romney. senator santorum, as you know, as social conservative, a roman clear lake, married to his -- catholic, married to his karen for 27 years. and a big thank you to iowa state republicans wolf rogers of cedar falls for helping to line up this interview. >> santorum: he's my state chairman and he told me i had to be hero -- to be here. >> ron: i'm sad he said that. you have taken again the very successful campaign play of 99 counties and you're did go -- >> santorum: already done it. been 200 visits, town hall type meetings in the state and a lot more to do between now and february 1st. >> ron: we'll

are you giving money to rick santorum's campaign? >> well, i have. i am encouraging my friends also to give. and i think what makes it nice, no one can say he's funded by big money because he's getting his donations and money on a broader based, smaller group of people. and i think rick santorum, for example, on his immigration policy -- i remember the media saying, trump is the only one talking about immigration. i was at santorum's speech where he announced he's running for president. he says, i want to cut not only illegal immigration, but legal immigration. the media gives trump the credit. >> let me ask you about donald trump, because he's been bashing gop candidates for taking so much money from mega donors. you are considered a mega donor. so, is donald trump right to bash mega donors? >> well, i sure think he is because he can fund his own campaign, so that's what donald trump would do. so, i think when we look at donald trump, i've -- god has blessed me in success because of a key thing i looked at people's strengths rather than weaknesses.

rick santorum / (r) presidential candidate "we have to stop playing this pussy- footing game that islam has nothing to do with the enemy we're dealing with. that is a lie. it has always been a lie and we don't have polilicians courureous enough to tell the truth." santorum is trailing the pack of republican contenders. although he won the iowa caucuses in 2012, he's barely registering in current polling. donald trump also made a stop in newton iowa yesterday. trump took time to thank the people of iowa for their patience, aside from boasting about his ratings on s-n-lbeing higher than those ofofis democraticadversary hillary clinton, trump also spoke about what he feels needs to be changed about e way america handles it's borders.
