5:01 pm
the michigan teacher's union trying to get money for a convicted child molester. >> how do you morally justify that, sir? answer the question. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ heir i'm birl. thanks for watching out tonight. the politics of destruction. that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. no question the democrats are trying to destroy new jersey governor chris cities industry they see him as a threat to hillary clinton in 2016 in the presidential race. christie's scandal pretty bad. lots of people adversely effected he says he didn't know about it mr. christie's tile that propelled him to success is now hurting him.
5:02 pm
2012 governor romney is too much of a gentleman. he refused to take the fight to the president, for example, in a third debate on foreign policy, romney could have knocked the president all over the place with pointed questions about benghazi he did not do it stunning many of us who felt it was a legitimate foreign policy issue. romney didn't apparently have the fire in the belly to deliver a knockout blow. christie does and therefore is a threat to the power of the democratic party. believe me that party has lots of problems right now on lots of different fronts. christie who is attractive to independent voters could exploit those difficulties. christie must be marginalized. good way to do that is to use his bluster against him. brit hume put it this way. men today have learned the lesson hard way. if you are an old fashioned guy's guy. you are in cob distant danger of slipping out and get new trouble and make you
5:03 pm
look like a sexist or look like you seem thuggish or whatever. >> if you are passionate and state your position firmly and flamboyantly as governor christie does, you become a huge target. especially if you make a mistakes. now, talking points believes the democratic party does not fear hard right conservatives like senator cruze and senator paul. the left believes there are not enough committed conservative voters to elect those men. of course, they could be wrong. both cruise and cruze and paul are smart guys that could raise a the love money. they will be factors in the upcoming primaries. chris christie is the biggest threat to the democratic party. we are seeing a personal campaign lodged against him that will not calm down any time soon. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction from both brit hume and karl rove. first up mr. rove who joins us from washington. so i'm correct again in my political analysis, right? >> mostly. on the big things, yes. any time there is somebody who is at parody with
5:04 pm
hillary clinton or near or ahead of her as christie has been in recent polls, the democrats are going to, in my opinion, seek opportunities to knock him down a notch or two and they had an opportunity with this bridge closing to knock christie down a peg or two and they jumped on it. >> all right. but they are going to continue it. say with anybody else, say this is the governor of maine and i love maine. but the governor of maine is not going to run for president and hillary clinton. if the governor of maine had done. this one day story, maybe. but this story is not going to go away in the left wing precincts and therefore, a brand is going to be put on governor christie. a brand, that brand is bully. how does he get rid of that brand? think will attempt to put that blame on him. 100 miles away from the
5:05 pm
bridge. out in america. how are they viewing this? what they saw was a leader stood up and said my people screwed up and did things that were offensive and lied to me and i took definitive action. no matter how close they were to me i took action. i goal apologize to the people of fort lee, new jersey for this i asked the fire receive me so i can personally apologize time h most people outside of the northeast, the new york area are going to look at that and say that's what we like to see in leaders, own up for mistakes and problems. take them on themselves and apologize. now, this is going to go on for a while. there is no doubt about it and the democratic assembly leaders in new jersey are going to try to make hay out of this. it's going to be covered by the "new york times." unfortunately new jersey is next to new york so the national media is going to pay attention to this. you need to put it in perspective how most people are going to get this and most people are going to get it that something bad happened and christie unlike so many other people in politic and public life owned up to it they may say he is -- you know, is he is a brash new jersey guy that
5:06 pm
doesn't speak like us. plain, simple people in the midwest do. he is a little bit more brash now going than we scandinavians are. there are going to be lots of reaction position him as an individual. we have to be careful about making big judgments about how most of america is going to foresee this as to how the media perceives it. >> you have two investigations on him. and then you have got the "new york times" as you say going to drive this story all day long. okay. so, say nothing else happens, and that's what happened. couple of rogue staffers did this. and this time six months from now. people have forgotten about it it you also have the war on woman. first president. you saw rick blazio ran against her for the senate if you are aggressive, you are bullying mrs. clinton and this is a perfect task for christie. i know it's a long winded question. but there are two other things in play. john mccain did not go after
5:07 pm
barack obama over the reverend wright stuff because i think that senator mccain just didn't want to get into the racial morass. so he didn't do it. and he wasn't aggressive in running down barack obama's achievements which were scant at that time in his career. mitt romney totally blew it he just wouldn't bring the fight to the president. he allowed him to rope-a-dope and get away with a whole bunch of stuff that chris christie wouldn't have done either of those. chris christie would have been right on the reverend wright stuff and right on the benghazi stuff. and that's what the democrats are afraid of. they have got to destroy christie before he can get to the primaries. >> i'm not convinced that it's just christie. christie is the target of opportunity for them now. but there are going to be serial attackers. any time anybody in the polls gets close to hillary clinton. they will look back at the lesson of 2012 to democrats what they took away from that was, republicans never counter punched all we have got to do is pummel these people. republicans are going to take away from 2012 in 2008 the lesson that you know, if you get attacked, sometimes in politics the counter
5:08 pm
punch is more powerful than the punch. they are going to be in a respectful appropriate way coming back at the democratic attacks. right now christie has to absorb these belows because that's just the way it is. i think the republican candidates whoever they are are going to have to steal themselves for the moment whether you are scott walker or ted cruz, rick perry, marco rubio. rand paul. john kasich, rick snyder, whoever the republican candidates are, they are going to be on the receiving end any time they get close in the polls to mrs. clinton. they are also going to have to deal with this. that the media is consciously or unconsciously going to aid the democrats in this effort. look, we have scandal emerging today it turns out hillary clinton had an enemy's list. >> we're doing that with brit hume. think about is anybody out there demanding we need to hear answers from hillary clinton. a week from now is the media going to be spending as much time on this as they are going to be spending on chris christie in a week?
5:09 pm
i don't think so. >> karl rove, everyone, there she is. next on the rundown as i mentioned. brit hume on why tough guys are dangerous in politics. and a new book. that mr. rove mentioned saying that hillary clinton does have an enemies list. wow. the factor is coming right back. suffering from the flu is a really big deal. with aches, fever and chills- there's no such thing as a little flu.
5:10 pm
so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. so call your doctor right away. tamiflu treats the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. so don't wait. attack the flu virus at its source. ask your doctor about tamiflu, prescription for flu. of the customers find me online.

striking parallel with the chris christie matter with endorsements. and some of these people from whom the clinton campaign in 2008 sought endorsements, and were people for whom hillary clinton and bill clinton or both of them had done things and they expected the endorsements when they didn't get them they considered in some specific cases a betrayal or what they considered a betrayal got you a number. number seven. that was the one you didn't want because that meant that was a maximum negative numbers. all these politicians got numbers 1 to 7. and if you were a search, you were thought to utterly have betrayed her who decided. >> staff now. fair to point out here. politicians far more than the politicians themselves. these politicians recognize that today's enemy is tomorrow's ally in some cases and it's better not to take things personally and

impact segment tonight, we continue our reporting on the legalization of marijuana and how it effects american children. let me establish some common ground. every sane person understands that intoxication is bad for kids. right? so we will start there. also, every sane person knows there is a huge difference between how adults handle drugs and alcohol as opposed to
5:22 pm
children. the legalization of marijuana is now favored by the majority of americans. colorado, washington state, the first to legalize pot. more states will do the same. that's a big difference from just 10 years when marijuana legalization was opposed by most americans. change brought about by the media who actively glorify pot use in many precincts kids are getting the message. the study says pot used and acceptance of marijuana is quickly rising among american teenagers. let me be clear. that's a bad thing. no good can come of it. so why then do americans consider to accept and expansion of intoxicating agents like pot? there is a big difference between drinking a glass of wine or beer and ingesting the thc that pot contains. let me repeat. that is a big difference alcohol abuse a tremendous problem in this country, we all know that. and so is drug abuse. now a major gate way drug,
5:23 pm
marijuana, is becoming socially acceptable in many places. the latest is the head of the national football league saying he might support medical marijuana being used to help injured players. >> i don't know what's going to develop as far as the next opportunity in medicine to evolve and to help either deal with pain or help deal with injuries. we will try to continually support the evolution of medicine. >> well, the unintended consequence of mr. gold medal's outlook is -- goodell's every player could be using pot because they are all hurt. every one of them at one time or another. it medical marijuana is used for headaches, you can get a prescription for headaches. of course the kids, if that were to come to pass would see pot attached to football. i don't care what adults do in their own homes, want to
5:24 pm
smoke pot, go ahead. have a general legitimate condition that pot relieves you should be able to get it those who illegally sell the drug should be prosecuted because they are doing harm as the pot they sell sometimes gets into the hands of children. the pushers are responsible for what they do. unfortunately there is no turning back this pot tide. i know, my campaign will convince the marijuana advocates to change their collective minds. these because they either use the drugs themselves or the drug culture should not be a government concern it's hurting the country if the government gets involved. no matter how much i warn the public that children will be harmed by this trend. no matter how much i do that it will not matter. therefore, american children will face yet another obstacle. yet another socially acceptable temptation as if

5:32 pm
>> let's start there. you don't want that. okay? >> correct. >> that is the proper point of view but by your stand, by your acceptance, because that's what this is, it has become socially acceptable and all the polls say that the kids, the teenagers think it's more socially acceptable now than before in this country. the use of marijuana is rising in all the high schools across the country. by the time your daughter gets to the teenage years potted will be like chewing gum, smoking a cigarette. that's what it's going to be. it's going to harm the fabric, motivation. one in six teenagers now gets addicted to marijuana once they try it that number is going to go to three to six. that's what's going to happen go. >> a couple things, i don't want my daughter, since we are talking about her to

guy to help and which union guy not to help. the guy is not in good standing with the union. he is in prison. is he not paying dues. they can rip up the contract. if this guy joined al qaeda and killed a bunch of innocent people under that rationale they will still honor this guy's contract? it doesn't make sense. they are choosing to side with the molester. >> they're choosing to do it. is there any reason the guys who supported him this cook guy is there any reason they would do this. >> no. >> find out anything. >> there is really no good reason. the teachers that wrote these letters -- >> -- in support for the mow esther. >> they -- the molester. >> they said it was consensual. they also had a lesson plan for the class to have the students in his class write letters saying how sad they were. that this neal erickson wasn't their teacher anymore. how disgust something that. the union is doing something worse to the mother. the mother has cancer. she wants to get chief meteorologist. she wants to take a week off paid leave. the union will not let her
5:45 pm

book of the book segment tonight, chaos in iraq and iraq nuke deal. joining us from washington author the big new book "things that matter." let's' take iraq first. hard to believe al qaeda and iran are running that country now that we don't have any presence outside of the green zone in our embassy what say you. >> very clear what happened in iraq after we left. obama said he ended the iraq war. no, it was david petraeus
5:49 pm
who ended the iraq war and we won. the civil war was over. al qaeda was utterly defeated and indeed humiliated when the sunni tribes men turned against. the government in baghdad by maliki actually rolled up extremist shiite militias. we were in a position to conclude a strategic agreement where iraq would have been our ally. he would have had three years to do and he failed. i was just reading in the "new york times" that iraq has become anchor door for iran to supply heavy equipment to the genocidal government in washington, d.c. and the word they used in the "times" to u.s. consternation. >> the reason for. >> let me ask you one question. when this was going on. when the united states and the obama administration was negotiating to leave a force in iraq, all right, which is
5:50 pm
what everybody who is sane wanted to do. you wanted to do this, i wanted to do that our military advisors, colonel hunt wanted to do that maliki wouldn't give them immunity from prosecution from the local authorities. that was the big sticking point. and i said that was legit. because you can't have u.s. forces being arrested i said th because you can't have u.s. forces being arrested by the iraqis and tried in their system. >> that was the cover story. there were ways around that. it had been done in other instances. the bush administration had worked its way around that. the fact was, we had insisted when obama was negotiating, about 3 to 5,000, the iraqis immediately understood that was not serious. 3 to 5,000 americans? they're going to be spending the whole time protecting themselves. the other part about this is we insisted, this is absurd that
5:51 pm
any agreement be ratified by the parliament in iraq. the iraqis said don't try that. we don't need that. we'll do it our way. so we're insisting on the constitutional niceties of the iraqi system? we could have had the agreement. >> obama wanted to get out, didn't care what the unintended consequences of that. >> outside now we know what they are. >> it is a pretty serious charge you're lodging at the property. >> no look, what i'm saying -- >> this is a serious charge, because of all the money we spent and lives that were taken. you're saying he knowingly did it, didn't tell the american people he was doing. that is what you're alleging tonight. >> what i'm saying is he knowingly did it because he felt it was a higher either obligation or political achievement. you could put any word you want
5:52 pm
to get out of iraq, to honor the commitment he thinks he made in the campaign. than any other strategic consideration. >> all right. >> and he thought that that would work for him. the fact is we've given iraqi air space over to iran. we've given essentially the running of iraq over to iran, because when we leave a place and we create a vacuum the bad guys come in. and the bad guys now are as you mentioned also on the sunni side, they have now taken over parts of fallujah, parts of are r a amadi, they right now have more control of iraq than any other time in history. >> all right, a very bleak situation, the iran nuclear deal kicks in next week. you have been on this program saying that you believe this deal is terrible for the usa. just give me a 30 second reason
5:53 pm
for that. >> it absolutely guarantees iran will go nuclear. the deputy foreign minister of iran just said a few days ago we had already won. we're fighting on our court. they have accepted the right to enrichment, which we have. and once you accept the right to enrichment, that means they will have a stock pile that leads them a month or two, a month or two, to break out and development a bomb. so the middle east will have to live with, this is even if everything in the agreement is adhered to. if that happens, iran is now a threshold nuclear state ready to break out. and that is why in the gulf they are running around with their hair on fire. and they are terrified. you want how they're not going to go cap in hand, bended knee
5:54 pm
to try to appease iran. they will have nowhere else to go. >> all right, charles krauthammerer, a tip of the day, something i do that you should not do. the tip moments away. what super poligrip does for me is it keeps the food out. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable.
