park with every answer. louis thought kashich and huckabee stood out but aroundow was somebody who was a good motivator. steven wasn't in carly fiorina's corner before but is now. he says she rocked it last night. thank you for your comments. thank you for being part of "the real story." i'm going to take time off. see you in a week. here's greg for shep. >> with the first debate now behind him some of the republican candidates already tackling their big challenge next. appearing today at a conservative convention we have already hear from governors chris christie, rick perry bobby jindal, carly fiorina and marco rubio and while the republicans were what battling it out on stage the hillary clinton was hanging out in hollywood and hanging without with the kardashians. >> some of the highest ranking lawmakers in congress saying they will fight appropriate president --

president obama roz iran deal. >> if respectfully suggest that rejection is not a policy for the future. i it does not offer any alternative. >> we will take a close look at what those defections may mean for the future of the president's plan on this hour of "shepard smith reporting." hello everyone, i'm greg jarrett in for shep. the numbers are in and a record-setting republican debate is now in the books according to nielsen, which measures television ratings. 24 million people tuned in to watch the top ten g.o.p. candidates square off right here on the fox news channel. 24 million. and that makes last night's debate the most watched cable news program ever. in other words crushed it. many of the candidates have already packed up and made their way to atlanta and that's where the conservative state is holding a gathering half of the

g.o.p. contenders are set to speak. a few of them made their case ott on what separates them from the rest. >> if you're looking at somebody who is running for president of the oosthuizen you need to wonder, will they really do what they say they're going to do? >> america is ready for an executive. an individual who understands how to lead, how to make decisions. >> we have a lot of great talkers running for president. the problem is we've got a great talker in the white house already. >> well, they're all talkers in a way. several other candidates on the schedule for today and tomorrow, and up next, carly fiorina. many analysts say the former hewlett packer ceo stole the show during the early debate and could soon find herself in the top ten. also set to speak the top three of the most recent fox news poll. we're talking about scott walker, jeb bush, and donald trump. trump pointed out last night as he always does, that he is in

front, right now. he is dominated much of the conversation since entering the race, but not all of it is positive. according to fox news contributor charles krauthammer the dedebate was the quote collapse of donald trump. he says donald trump was out of place and lost for most of the night. carl cameron has more on the fox top story now now live in washington. seemed like trump was battling everybody from the opening moments. >> well, from the very first question, it was tough. trump will not rule out running as an independent if somebody else other than himself wins the g.o.p. nomination. and he ran once before briefly for the reform party ticket so this is a real threat. last night, brett asked for a show of hands of anyone unwilling to rule it out and here's what ended up happening in his explanation from mr. trump. >> i cannot say i have to respect the person that if it's not me, the person that wins. if i do win and i'm leading by

quite a bit that is what i whatnot to do. i can totally make that pledge if i'm the nominee. >> well, trump got booed. he didn't back down for that. and rand paul actually interrupted and unloaded on him saying that's part of what is wrong with trump as a today. billionaire tweeted harsh stuff last night. never a good idea to fight the media, and as randolph hearst said, don't go at someone with endless ink or record ratings. >> how much, carl, did they actually debate the issues? >> there were a couple of really substantive exchanges and heated, too. both of them featured new jersey governor kit chris christie. he battleed with rand paul over the patriot act. then he mixed it up big-time with mike huckabee. christie would essentially reform social security by raising the eligibility age and

means testing. mike huckabee says that's theft. watch. >> he's not lying. just wrong. i'm the only guy on the stage who put out a detailed 12-point plan on entitlement reform. >> nobody in this country is on social security because they made the decision when they were starting, who at 14 they wanted to trust some of their money with the government. >> whole bunch of candidates today are in georgia for the big red state conference which starts tonight and in new hampshire today, jeb bush stopped off at a lobster house in new hampshire and he is campaigning there, and frankly was asked a number of times about what' some critics say was a tepid dedebate performance and he said eights not about one or two debates. a campaign is a long haul of persuading lots lots of people. so you can hear him dismissing yesterday and trying to move on because he wasn't the standout and clear i didn't make the headlines. that ways mostly trump. >> carl, thank you very much. let's bring in tony, republican

strategist, fox news contributor, good to see you. you think donald trump made a couple of mistakes. what are they? >> two two -- his two biggest debates and then became aggressive was not pledging to not run a third party campaign against the ultimate nominee of the party because that showed a disrespect for the very party he is trying to win over. the second one is taking oning me -- megyn kelly when she was askedcomment out women. he permanently turned it around and actually almost threatened to say something to her that might have been negative, and i think those are two things that can catch up with him. donald trump has existed outside of the conventional line of politics. so does it hurt him immediately in probably not. he was light on substance and i think charles krauthammer was right, last night was a bad performance you saul the candor people have come to really

appreciate and the disruption in the republican field that otherwise people think is relatively boring and generic. >> you think three people did pretty well. rubio among them. here he is. take a listen. >> the jobs that once sustained our middle class don't pay enough or they're gone and we need someone who understands that. if i'm the knock any how can hillary clinton lecture me about living paycheck to paycheck. was raised paycheck to paycheck. >> the most powerful argument that rubio has about hillary clinton she talks about being the champion of the middle class. these people are from the middle class so much more powerful in terms of bag messenger for that, and rubio's closing was strong and inspirational. i can't tell you how many friends of mine were texting saying i like this guy. what he should do is write a nice thank you note to donald trump because not many people

know marco rubio, but thanks to the celebrity donald trump brought to the debate, 24 million people got to see the best side of marco rubio and i think you have chris christie, who scored some points, maybe on the margins but -- >> i want to get to him in a moment. first let's go to the ohio governor homefield advantage. here he is. >> guess what. >> i just went to a wedding of a friend of mine who happens to be gay. because somebody doesn't think the way i do -- [applause] -- didn't mean i can't care about them or love them. if one of my daughters happened to be that, of course i would love them and accept them. >> what did you think of that moment? >> john kashich announced three weeks ago and was able to get into the top ten relatively fast because he really is among this crowded field of 17 very distinguishable. he has brought back the idea that you can be a compassionate conservative, strong record as a fiscal hawk in ohio, the last congressman, chairman of the budget committee to give us a balanced budget, and when you

talk look that you reach people's or hards. mitt romney didn't make peel people like he cared about them. kashich won't have the problem. >> he didn't connect romney, but kashich is different. what about chris christie now? i want to play a sound bite. >> listen, senator when you're sifting in a subcommittee blowing hot air about this, you can say things like that. >> time talking about searches without warrants -- >> there is -- indiscriminately of all american records and that's what i fought to end. i don't trust president obama with our records. know you gave him a big dismissing you want to give him a big hug again go right ahead. >> all right. now, in that exchange, you think that chris christie came out on top, and that rand paul was kind of a loser on that. >> look, on substance they boast delivered very strong arguments. where rand paul went wrong was getting too shrill in that conversation and rolling his eyes when chris christie was talk can about comforting the

victims of 9/11 families as the u.s. attorney and why it was important to have these peat that act laws to help us with enhanced surveillance. the so the eye-rolling -- >> did he come across as mean? >> yes, and reinforced something we saw. one of the earliest interviews on fox news, he came across as really -- year combative and nasty. i gave a tip to the people on the stage and my tip to rand paul was pretend you like the people standing on take with you. he depend take my advice and chris christie got theberrer of him on that -- the better of him on that and the better of huckabee on reforming entitilements. >> huckabee just didn't connect didn't resonate with anybody? >> huckabee's problem was he failed to give a rationale. if you're comparing guys who are ideologically aligned ted cruzed a a much better night than mike huckabee. granted, not as minute opportunities to speak but he stood up for the whole movement,

conservative side of the republican party more effectively. >> what about jeb bush? >> jeb bush by design went into last night with the anticipation he was not going to try to hit a grand slam or get a double, and he didn't. did he hurt himself? no. i hope he would be more inspirational and offer more about his vision. he seemed defensive about his record. he didn't have a breakout moment but didn't do anything that i think is going to come back to haunt him. >> the neither did governor scott walker who is leading in some of the polls in iowa, but he is not getting any ink for or or kudos for his performance. >> scott walker is at the top of the tier. i think he is trying hard to stay there last night is not going to push him out and not questioning to fortify him either but i think walker had some really strong lines and came across with an important test of looking presidential. there's been the critique about him, that he is a provincial government, the whole line,

hasn't graduated from college god forbid. >> it bugs some people. >> legitimately so but he did show you that he can stand on stage with ten of nine other extremely qualified people, and i definitely would put scott walker in the middle of the pack. i think rand paul was the one who clearly if you were going to score winners and losers would have been voted off the island. >> ben carson had he best closing argument. >> he different but took him a minute to warm up. i i love ben carson. >> what you remember were his final words. >> they were powerful, he needs more than 60 seconds to make his case. >> sorry for coughing while you're talking. if you missed the debate or just can't get enough of the candidate's battling it out you can catch an encore presentation

hopeful even snapped a selfie with kim kardashian and her husband, kanye west. so cool. i'm impressed. i i'd vote for her just for that. in a statement released clinton said i'm not watching and don't need to be. ed henry is here now grown-up justin bieber. hillary clinton wasn't watching but was talking about it. >> she was and she was there even if she wasn't there. she was essentially the 18th 18th politician. you had 17 republicans, a lot of them talking about hillary clinton, beating up on her talking about the e-mail server. at one point in the earlier debate her own bill hemmer said you'll remember back in 2008 barack obama famously said that hillary clinton was likeable enough so bill hemmer asked can you describe hillary clinton in just two or three words and most of them were about the e-mails, not trustworthy.

the ebola is we have seen these poll numbers saying she notice honest and trustworthy republicans trying hard to make a lot out of of that but a they're looking ahead to the general election. >> after the debate, last night we're now seeing democrats are kind of pushing back. what can you tell us? >> i was at the brooklyn campaign headquarters for hillary lag night. her communication manager said he real winner was hillary. her rational what the republicans spent so much time beating up on hillary clinton. you see the war room there where they were trying to responsible on social media. they said the republicans spent so much time on hillary clinton that in the end our own chris wallace had to ask about the clinton economic plan. some of them beat up on that but didn't pitched to their own economic plans. interesting as well, martin o'malley jump on the g.o.p. as well. listen. >> any of you see the republican

debate last night? a few of you? the greatest hits of the '80s and '90s, combined with the world wrestling federation match? >> might have been a little scrapping, fighting, a little wrestling a as well. but o'malley put out a sear yous statement saying that with these massive ratings that fox news channel got over 24 million people watching, he thinks that's a sign a lot of people are hungry for information and candidates clashing, heading into 2016. yesterday the democrat as i nouned they're only going to have civics -- six debates. martin o'malley is saying they have to have a lot more debates and a lot of democrats criticizing hillary clinton because the first one isn't until mid-october. she has a couple moyer -- more months. >> o'malley is saying hillary has the dnc in her pocketer. >> right he is saying the dnc is coddling clinton. remember what happened to mitt romney in 2012. he did all of these debates with

people who were behind him in the polls. they beat him up and his numbers came down. that's what clinton wants to avoid. she has to be careful about if she is not debaterring enoughing might not be in fighting shape. one reason that barack obama was a strong candidate, he had a lot 0 debates with human being human being and he emerged stronger. >> ed henry you have the same tats on the arm as justin bieber. >> i'm going to try the hairstyle. >> a republican consultant on why she says carly fiorina was a breakout star and fiorina could be the one to knock out the donald. coming up. ♪ [laughs] irresistible moments deserve irresistibles treats.

the early g.o.p. debate in cleveland was a break-through moment for former hugh lit packard ceo carly fiorina. according to some analysts and google trends. look at this. shows that fiorina was the top search candidate out of the competition. you can see she led the other candidates throughout most of the event. analysts say fiorina shined during the debate by highlighting her business experience and portraying herself as a political outsider and took a jab at the democratic front-runner, hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton lies about benghazi chev lies about e-mails. she is still defending planned parenthood and is still her party's front-runner. 2016 is going to be a fight between conservatism and a democratic part that is undermining the very character of this nation. >> fiorina is set to speak just minutes from now at the red state gathering in atlanta. she has been hovering between one and two percent in the national polls but analysts now predict her performance last night could actually boost her

considerably. today fiorina told fox news' gretchen carlson she used the debate as an opportunity to introduce herself to the american people. >> i'm not a professional politician and i'm not a celebrity, and so i still have a lot of introducing of myself to voters, and so that debate gave me a great opportunity to do so. >> and of course the other candidates in the early debate also had their moments. sherry is here, a g.o.p. consult tenant and pratt of capital strategies. people keep saying all day long, she seemed comfortable competent, likeable, and really strong on the issues. i noticed also her personality. she had a very good personality. >> yes. very comfortable with herself and comfortable with what she was saying, didn't seem overrehearsed and we heard throughout the process of this primary campaign that she has been doing this on the stump all along. she is doing well in speeches,

does well in press interviews and shined last night's debate no question. >> is shoe uniquely positioned to take on hillary clinton with a gender advantage? >> she is positioned to take on hillary clinton because she did well in the debate, regardless of her gender, and i think all of the candidates -- most of the -- >> regardless of gender. >> i don't think it should play a role. i don't even consider it. it was impressed with her and i don't need to grade her on gender. there might be a disconnect between what is hang with her ground game and her organization and the grassroots and how she the candidate is performing. this is an opportunity for her to take this win and it was a win, and go out there and strike up a better organization so that she can bump herself up they need people on the ground. >> money. >> and also an opportunity i would recommend her come pain immediately go out the big donors and say give to this campaign because the other candidates will have to fall by

the wayside and coalesce around fewer candidates -- >> we'll take off now. one of the statements that seemed to connect with viewers was this one. take a listen. >> on day one in the oval office i would make two phone calls. the first one would be to me good friend, be netanyahu to assure him we'll stay with the 'state of israel, and the next would be the leader of iran who might not take my phone call. the message is until you open every nuclear and every military facility to full open, anytime anywhere for real inspects we're going to make it as difficult as possible for you to move money around the global financial system. >> i have heard her say that a thousand times. it's her standard stump speech. but most americans haven't heard that. seemed to resonate. >> very clear and so she has her foreign policy cred right there you put that up against hillary clinton, the secretary of state who was trying to sometimes stand with obama when it's politically advantageous, sometimes separate herself from

such foreign policy matters and say i had nothing to do with that. carly fiorina drew a sharp contrast between herself and hillary clinton. >> i fell out of my chair last night, i was watching. rick perry the governor -- former governor of texas did her a big favor. she should send in a thank you card. here it is. take a listen. >> i would rather have carly carly fiorina going our negotiation than john kerry maybe we would have got an deal where we didn't give everything aware. >> maybe he started out trying to insult her but turn out to be a real compliment. >> on that front he did a good job for himself last night. he and bobby jindal needed to stand out to make it in the top tier. i think carly fiorina outshined them so i'm not sure -- he didn't hurt himself but i'm not sure he jumped to the next level. >> he helped her. what are you doing? >> she was fine on her own but it's nice he did that. i'm sure she is grateful to the

governor. >> she has a great story to tell. a ifed out as a second, blame the ceo of one of the biggest countries in america. >> a lot have good stories. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> big-name democrat turning his back on president obama's controversial nucleic -- nuclear deal with iran. reaction from the white house coming up. stick around for that. it wouldn't make sense if you turned on something in one room and it turned on everywhere else. but that's exactly how traditional ing systems work. so you pay more than you should. but mitsubishi electric systems give you a better way... with no waste and lower energy bills. control temperatures precisely in one or every room ... ...with no new ductwork. so everyone can enjoy ultimate personal comfort. mitsubishi electric cooling and heating. make comfort personal. i called for help as soon as i saw her. i found her wandering miles

of eliminating sanctions while ultimately retaining its nuclear and nonnuclear power help is the very first democratic senator to indicate a vote against the deal. analysts say he is the top jewish democrat in congress and expected to take over as the party's next leader in the senate. secretary of state john kerry says he profoundly disagrees with the senator's comments. word leaders announcing the deal last month to curb iran's nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in relief from sanctions. congress now has the chance to review it all and possibly reject the deal. the white house also said today that 12 lawmakers have come out in favor of the deal, and that officials are confident now they can build enough support among democrats. rick joins us live from the white house. senator schumer isn't the only democrat who is coming out against the deal. right? >> reporter: he is not. how about the top democrat on the house foreign affairs

committee, the congressman releasing a statement laying out his objections, similar to chuck schumers. in the statement he says, after careful consideration of all the material, more than a dozen hearings since the beginning of the negotiating period and conversation with administration officials, experts and my con city tunes i regret i cannot support this deal. he was also joined by the number two democrat on the committee congressman brad sherman, of california, who in the last couple of hours here announces his opposition. >> rich, does the white house say that it's now concern this could prompt more democrats to do the same thing and announce their opposition? >> well, we just asked the white house if to there was a multiplier effect with the top democrat in the u.s. senate, chuck schumer announcing his opposition. will other democrats fool suit? the white house denies schumer's defection will lead to more democrats opposing the deal. >> i think there's a preponderance of evidence could

indicate democrats are going to make up their minds not based on senator schumer's concludes but based on their own conclusions and as long as they do that we'll continue to feel confident about our ability to build support for this agreement in the democratic caucus. >> congress will vote next month whether to block the deal. they knee two-thirds of the house and senate to do so. >> joining us mow for more, democratic strategist who previously worked on senator schumer's staff and on hillary clinton's 2000 senate campaign and currently the executive director of the accountablity project that investigates political corruption. good to see you. >> nice to see you. >> never be out of business if you investigate political corruption, which is redundant. >> great business to be in. >> schumer has long-standing

connection to israel, the israeli lobby so, gee what a surprise he is against the deal. is he doing it to appease his constituents? >> i think it's a little bit of both. i think that he is the number one senatal fundraiser if not the number one elected fundraiser for the dem create party and relies on the constituency to raid money for his campaign -- raise money for his campaign next year, but to raise employ for other candidates and the dny and the rest of the candidates who may be in opposition to this -- for this deal, for the proposal in congress. so i think what is going only right now is he is really trying to send a message to his jewish voters and to aipac essentially. he supports them but not going to be actively going out there -- >> in other words in his position as a leader in the u.s. senate he is not whipping other democrats to follow suit. >> no. and -- >> which tells you that he is just doing this to appease his constituents.

>> possibly, yes. >> if he was really sincere about and it believed it was a bad deal, he would get other democrats on board. >> i think he thinks it's a bad deal. no doubt. he has sent that indication from day one but is in a tricky political position. >> itch he really thinks it's such a bad deal, shouldn't be get other dems to follow. >> i think he is trying but people have made up their minds. the white house is very passionate about the deal, and to be pair the alternative is you have no deal. and that puts iran in a position of power. >> i talked to somebody today who has been following this for a long time very closely and he said the next move now is egypt saudi arabia and turkey are now going to seek nuclear weapons because of this deal and they're going to do it clandestinely by contacting pakistan and probably already have. >> i'm not privy to that information. i'm familiar with the middle east and worked in the middle

east and north africa, and i think that the dynamics are more complicated. these aren't governments that are necessarily in control and to be able to organize such plans. it's a lot of work. so i doubt that will happen effectively and within the time period that some may be assuming. >> mickey thomas good, to see you. thank you for being if us. more on iran now with the first -- the story from fox. the head of iran's secretive force visited moscow to meet with russian leaders there including the president vladimir putin. that according to western intelligence sources. they say it happened last month. even though u.n. security couple resolutions have barred the general from leaving iran, the u.s. has labeled him a terrorist. jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon. what are we learning today? >> reporter: a day after we broke the story now iranian officials are confirming the commander was in russia conducting weapons deals. today u.n. ambassador samantha

powers said the u.s. is very concerned about this development. >> has sam he is subject to the united nations travel back -- travel ban and this ban requires all states to prohibit him from traveling to their nation. and the only exception to that is if the iran sanctions committee grants an exemption. >> which they did not. according to two separate western intelligence sources he arrived in moscow on friday, july 24th on iran air flight 5130 and departy just three days before secretary of state john kerry testified about the iran nuclear deal before the senate armed services committee assuring congress pressure would remain on iran's shadowy general. >> under the united states' initialtive, he will never be relieved of any sanctions.

>> in moscow, the general melt with president vladimir putin and russia's defense minister. the news comes as a u.n. averages embargo against iran is slated to be lifted in five years, a colorful addon to the nuclear agreement, gregg. >> any reaction from the white house? >> reporter: well, they're doing their best not to have to blame the russians for hosting him. >> i can't confirm these specific reports. but it is an indication of our ongoing concerns with iran and their behavior. >> he is blamed for the deaths of 500 americans in iraq. he orchestrated the failed assassination attempt on the saudi ambassador's life at a restaurant in washington. his visit came up in the debate. >> part of the iranian deal was lifting enter sanctions on the general, the day the general flew back from moscow.

>> what this shows is iran's most dangerous leader already is feeling less constrain despite assurances from secretary kerry and others he will continue to face sanctions. >> another bloody killing allegedly at the hands of somebody who never should have been inside the united states to begin with, and now word immigration officials had no clue the accused killer was out on the streets before the brutal crime.

an enforcement priority despite four prior arrests including a felony for sexually assaulting a woman while on meths last month he was rearrested twice while on probation for carrying a concealed weapon and drugs. instead of jail a judge released him to a drug abuse center. four days later he broke sunny home and raped and beat the woman with a clawhammer. she died a week later. police don't care before the circumstances that ramirez was an illegal. i who could -- illegal immigrant who could have been deported. >> we don't care what the circumstances were. we were going to do what we need to do to get our facts and bring this individual to justice good if there are ex-step waiting circumstances that arise as a result of that, an undocument immigrant, we'll let the property authorities address the issues. >> the case is similar to the death of kate fine he murdered by an illegal immigrant after

we are waiting to hear whether the movie massacre killer, james holmes, will die for his crimes or spend the rest of his life behind bars. during jury deliberations today the judge grand emt jurors request to rewatch a bloody crime scene videotapes taken from inside the theater that terrible night. last month they found holme guilty of murder for killing 12 people and injuring dozens more during a crowded midnight showing of "the dark knight rises" three years ago. dan springer is live outside the courthouse in centennial, colorado. dan, i guess it's up to the jury now. right?

>> reporter: still to verdict and that development that you touched on in the intro is very significant. it happened two hours into the jury deliberation. four hours ago. the jury asked the judge if they could have the equipment to be able to see the crime scene again. they saw it back in june. so two months ago they say the grisly gruesome video taken by police walking kind of point of view, walking the 'em camera through the theater pointing down and showing the bullet casings and then showing a body and another body and another body. ten in all. of the 12 victims never made out of the theater. their bodies laid there for hours afterwards as the police documented that scene and of course it's anybody's guess exactly what that it means but there's some speculation that it could mean that there are at least one possibly two people who are holding out against the death penalty and that the people who are in favor hoff the death penalty want those jurors to see again the horror of what james holmes did three years

ago, and they wanted that to be fresh in their mind before they came back and said they were not able to come to a unanimous verdict. remember, i james holmes with live the rest of his life in prison if this is not a unanimous verdict. there are three options unanimous for death unanimous for life in prison, no parole, or not unanimous. two of those three mean he will live the rest of his life in prison. >> the judge cannot elevate life to death himself has to impose life behind bars, all right dan, thank you very much. we'll be right back. ing from constipation or irregularity powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, designed for dependable relief.
