nes you take, and if you're pregnant or planning to be. ask your doctor about otezla today. otezla. show more of you. huh i'm eric bolling in for bill o'reilly. thanks for watching this special edition of the factor election 2016 should the g.o.p. shut down the government over planned parenthood. that's the big question lighting up the campaign trail. the government is willing to shut down the government if there is no deal. after undercover video showing the sell of baby body parts many republicans are saying they can't support any new spending bills that include federal money for the abortion provider. >> we shouldn't be sending $500 million of taxpayer money to funding an ongoing

criminal enterprise. i will tell you the facts that republican leadership in both houses has begun this discussion by peremptorily surrendering to barack obama because he threatens a veto. obama is committed to his liberal principles. he will fight for them. he says i will veto any budget that doesn't fund planned parenthood and republicans surrender. we need to stop surrendering and start standing for our principles. >> and the stakes got even higher now that the house voted 281 to 187 to defund planned parenthood despite a veto promise from president obama. is risking a government shut down over planned parenthood good politics? joining us is sandy rios a talk who show host and adam goodman. if you are advising a republican presidential candidate would you tell

them to support a government shutdown over planned parenthood funding? >> i will tell you this should bother everybody right now that public outcry over the practices of planned parenthood has turned into a potential calamity of the government shutdown and a riff within the republican party that's being refereed by nancy pelosi and the democrats. i mean, leave it to washington to come to that. what is really worrisome to all of us and in terms of this impact on the presidential campaign, eric, to your question is that we are seeing another example of how an act of conscience is being punished instead of rewarded and you have to ask yourself. >> but would you risk a government -- and we know the republican brand got hurt badly the last time they went through with a shutdown of the government. everyone blamed the republicans. would you advise republicans to go that far to shut the government down over the $530 million? >> i would not. the reason for that eric is simply in this whole thing would be turned into an argument not over the

practices of planned parenthood the merit of shutting down government and everything that comes with it is a trojan horse that the democrats and others are marching into this presidential campaign that deceives and misleads people from the real issue at hand which is the real attack on human life that we saw in these tapes that carly fiorina and others have certainly commented on and very passionately. j are you in favor of shutting down the government completely over dispute of $500 million to planned parenthood? >> eric, think that's the wrong question. i think this is part of the problem. the debate is this. would the president be willing to not fund a bill that would fund the government if it doesn't pay for what seems like it's the largest abortion provider in the nation who, likely is taking live just born babies and cutting them apart to sell their organs. the president can't sign a bill that funds the entire government but just doesn't fund this. he is shutting down the

government. the whole issue is framed the wrong way you. >> you can end up pushing it toward the president if it goes that far passed the house. >> adam and i agree on the atrocities we have seen in undercover videos. advise every person listening to me. it doesn't matter if you are pro-choice, proabortion, this is not really an issue of abortion this is issue of. >> you are handing a victory to president obama. you are saying republicans want to shut down government and now i have come through and at the last monday i'm going to veto their efforts to shut down the government. i need to keep government open. won't have to eat it on whether or not he is proabortion or not. >> eric, okay. the end of the world is not shutting down the government. the end of the world is watching this and doing

nothing. some things are worth fighting for. and i would argue if you want to talk political strategy, there has never been a more opportune time to stop this barbarity. >> i totally agree with you. what they showed on those videos that they were breaking the law. you cannot sell body parts for profit number one. number two, technically, adam you are not even supposed to be able to use taxpayer money hyde amendment for abortions. isn't that what planned parenthood is doing? >> it's absolutely what they are doing. and this is the reason, eric, why in the presidential campaign ahead. people are all but screaming nor the next leader of the free world to fix what's broken. invest in what's working and stop fighting among ourselves and fighting for this country i tri. this is one of these acts of conscience that should be awarded. when is the last time that's ever happened in washington. i think we have it all backwards. it's about time we started to show when an issue of conscience like this not

politics. but purpose. that goes back to the very founding ideals of our country and a the very best instincts in all of us. >> let me throw something out on you. i'm sitting here trying to figure out what is this all about? it seems like a fight that both sides want to fight for their own reason. let me solve the problem. planned parenthood splits up into two groups. there is planned parenthood, the main company and they provide services like cancer screenings, contraceptives, et cetera. and then there is planned parenthood abortions. the taxpayer money can go to the first group. it cannot touch the second group. your thoughts on that? >> well, you are the money guy. i would say that money is fungible. planned parenthood is telling us oh no we don't use tax dollars for what we do. i don't think you can separate those two things, eric. >> you do it and separate the into two different groups. let me throw it to adam. then there is no fight. you are not making a case whether or not abortion is legal or illegal. you are simply saying taxpayer money will not be going to abortion. and everyone seems to at

least for the moment. be okay and government doesn't shutdown. >> i think that's a reasonable point of view. that should be something that reasonable people would engage in, discuss, debate and hopefully pass. unfortunately, you know, going back to the last comment. this is not the way that washington plays it they think this is a game. if you watch these tapes, this isn't a game. this is real life and seen in a very horrific way. we have got to start doing better than this as a country. leading our way in not just issues like this but coming together to advance the common purpose of not just life, but the american experience and this is very bad example of that on all of us. >> eric, eric, there are some things worth fighting for. if it's not the dismemberment of live babies i don't know be what we are doing. >> that wasn't the discussion. i you agree with you 100 percent. >> that's why we have to fight. >> would it be worth it to the republicans to shut down the government. >> absolutely because it's right. >> you are not changing abortion law. you are just simply talking about the. >> no.

we have to stop it out of conscience. we have to stop it. whatever it takes. >> fair enough. sandy and adam. we will have to leave it right there. thank you very much. next on the rundown, accusations that hillary clinton supporters are using mccarthy like tactics to bring down their enemies. wow. we're going to tell you what that is all about directly ahead. moves the world forward. invest with those who see the world as unstoppable. who have the curiosity to look beyond the expected and the conviction to be in it for the long term. oppenheimerfunds believes that's the right way to invest... ...in this big, bold, beautiful world. all of our legendary racing heritage.

is where what we are saying, interviewed david broke associated with that group and asked him repeatedly what are you saying about bernie sanders? what's your point? and wouldn't say. >> joining us from durham, new hampshire, ed henry covering the clinton campaign for fox. ed, hillary, are this saying anything about the bernie sanders, hugo chavez comparison or blaming that on barack? >> no, they are ducking it from the campaign. i think what's really going on and what you you are hinting at is that this leadership pack on the outside with operatives like david broke, they are trying to do the hard hitting attacks on bernie sanders. by the way joe biden as well the vice president who may get into this race. there are signs just the last 24 hours overheard conversation on amtrak on a cell phone draft biden official saying he is 100 percent in. this is going to happen. nobody is really denying that was said there are signs biden is going to get in. and you have hillary clinton's campaign itself saying oh we are giving him time to grieve. i'm sure it will change the

race if gets in. we don't want to attack him. people on the outside in private rooms are doing the attacking hum. john podesta at a super pac meeting for the clinton team not the campaign itself but outside donors saying if biden gets in, is he not going to win. he is not really the new flavor. they want to do the attacks behind close the doors in public say bernie is a nice guy. we don't have any quarrel with him because they are trying to luke like they are staying positive. are they going to turn negative any time soon and if so, just bernie sanders or biden as well? >> they can't go much longer and allow this momentum. this surge from bernie sanders. here on the ground in new hampshire i can tell you i have been seeing all kinds of things. i was at a town hall meeting last newt and she had empty seats in the back of the room. this is a frontrunner and this is former secretary of state. senator, first lady. and meanwhile, today, here at the university of new hampshire, hillary clinton was making a big deal. we have got so much enthusiasm, overflow crowd. we asked the fire chief, 350

people, it looked big and was sort of crowded because it was a maul room here on campus, i checked with bernie dan ders campaign he is coming to this very campus this weekend. apples to apples comparison he already has 1300 rsvps, three, four, five times as many people as hillary clinton is getting here on the ground in new hampshire. that's why the last six polls here. the last six major polls in new hampshire now have bernie sanders in the lead. >> the clintons have never had a problem firing people. letting people go. how long before heads start to roll in the clinton campaign? >> well, it's very interesting. the tea leaves we are getting this "the washington post" piece a couple days ago saying they realize they have a problem in the clinton carp. brooklyn headquarters, status quo. they think original plan is going to work in the long run. look this plan has not worked for the last four to six months. they are probably going to have to do something much more drastic in the days ahead. whether that's house cleaning or can cat herself. people are going to blame the advisors. >> she has relaunched the

relaunch the relaunch. >> and couldn't get it con. how about the last one? hey, this time we are going to inject heart and humor, telling her to inject art and humor. that's ridiculous. >> we have a plan to be spontaneous. >> yeah, that's basically what they said. and when you plan to be spontaneous, it doesn't necessarily come across as you a then enthusiastic. i mean, let me say something positive about hillary clinton which is in that abc news interview some days back with david muir. she took some shots on the email deal. when pressed about what she is fighting for, she got into the middle class, she started crying, talking about her mom. there are going to be people questioning authenticity and whatnot. if you watch what she did, that was her trying to show her realself, showing some heart and emotion. frankly on the campaign trail would are not seeing a whole lot of that she has to find a way to sort of unpack some of the thing that's keeping some sprawtion here between her and actual voters. bernie sanders is breaking through on the left. donald trump breaking through on the right.

mostly cloudy maybe is the ultimate insider and in the year of the outsider is struggling. >> because she does, she does. they have a well thought out plan to be spontaneous when you talk about trump and bernie sanders. they are spontaneous. ed, very quickly, i have got to go. bill clinton yes or no getting into this more heavily? >> i think he is going -- today was, you know, this week was the first week that we saw him out fundraising. i think we are going to see a lot more of bill clinton. >> all right, ed, thank you very much. hillary clinton couldn't name her top accomplishment at the state department. uh-oh. that's up ahead. ♪ the 306 horsepower lexus gs. experience the next level of performance, and there's no going back. lease the 2015 gs 350 with complimentary

in the factor follow up segment tonight, hillary clinton's record. mrs. clinton appeared on cnn this past week and asked what her top accomplishment was as secretary of state. >> if anybody is interested,

you know, there is a long list about what i have done and i am very proud of it. can you read my book hard choices. read about how he i negotiated a cease-fire between israel and hamas. you can can read about how i put together the coalition that led to current national sanctions against iran. you can read about what i did when i was first lady to get the children's health insurance program or as senator working across the aisle on issues like getting better healthcare for our veterans. >> so you have got to go to the library to find the answer. joining us now with reaction from washington, d.c., simon rosenberg, a democratic strategist and from las vegas, rick grenell, a former u.s. spokesman at the united nations, we are going to start with you you. there are obviously a lot of big problems going on overseas, hillary clinton's tenure as barack obama's top diplomat ended up hurting her on the campaign trail. >> i think it will hurt her because what we just saw she can't list her accomplishments, it's really terrible when you look at her advisors, whether they were with her as former

first lady, as a senator, as a secretary of state. same yup of advisors. all political advisors, she didn't hire any subject matter experts. it's no wonder she didn't, you know, she wasn't able to successfully push any issue around the country, around the world on foreign policy issue. she has no place in the world where she can say we are better off after i left, i mean, you look at whatever country you can come up with, and i will show you how it is worse off now that hillary had her four year tenure and made it just atrocious. >> what about it simon, rick makes some very good points. you think of the putin reset button how is our relationship with russia. every country is either in flames or on the verge of flames. >> i think it's unfair she didn't do anything. she listed two things in

that interview. >> hold on, simon. hold on, i will let you one if you want or two she listed hamas in israel? really that's your accomplishment? you negotiated with terrorists it doesn't seem like it's game over there yet. >> every secretary of state has negotiated with israel. >> her other accomplishment, boy, if that is an accomplishment, what's the failure? eric, you know we are not going to agree on this one, right? i know we are not going to find common ground and whether the things that she did was actually positive, there are many things that she did russia has fewer nuclear weapons today because of hillary clinton, china came to the table. >> russia? >> and committed to reduce the biggest polluter in the world, committed to reduce their darr are carbon emissions. she negotiated a cease-fire. hamas stopped bombing, putting rockets into israel. these are actual real accomplishments. they have may not be everything you like or admire. >> first of all, eric. >> a terror organization.

>> she should be putting them down. >> rockets coming into israel. she promoted the iron dome. she hamas is done with terror, is that what you are trying to tell me. >> okay, thank you. rick, go ahead. >> let's bring up the one point where she said that an accomplishment was iran. okay. so now she is totally opening this iran deal, but the facts will show that the first 18 months of her tenure, she didn't do anything on sanctions. as a matter of fact, she and president obama put in oil waivers for south korea, japan, china, india. a whole bunch of countries. they were trying to she can not claim and reporters need to fact check this. she cannot claim she ratcheted up the pressure on iran for 18 months. she did nothing. when they fox news channelly got around to it, it was a weaker deal than the u.n. deal. bring it on, h.i.g., if you want to talk about the iran

deal as one of the things that you did that's set. i think president obama's iran deal, john kerry, the hillary clinton now she is taking credit for the iran deal, that will go down in history as the worst possible deal that we could have had out of the state department. >> simon, what's better? what region is better now than when she -- before she arrived? >> i think our relations in latin america are far better than they were when the obama duration came to office. i think that our standing in the world and i know we disputed this many times on air. >> they may be better because we are letting them come over our border freely. no, no, no, that's not true. what happened with cuba was master. >> shy had had nothing to do with cuba. came after her, hillary. >> you have -- you asked about where the obama administration done and whether we are better off today. >> i asked how are we better off since hillary clinton's tenure as secretary of state. with the accomplishments. i'm still waiting i tried to

list and you cut me off. i want to dispute something you said about iran. she led the coalition that put on the toughest sanctions in iran in the history. >> she did one round of sanctions, simon, she did one round of sanctions. we the bush administration did five rownsz she did one and she didn't do anything for 18 months. >> she brought -- it brought iran to the table which allowed us to negotiate this deal. >> iran was at the table. simon, this is the worst foreign policy blunder, probably in our lifetimes and she is touting it as an accomplishment? and so are you? >> absolutely. and i'm plowt of what the president has done on this iran deal i want to say the contrast between what we have done and what carly fiorina did, right, when she was head of hp is she evaded sanctions. >> this matters. carlie is the one who brought this up. she is the one who began this conversation. >> no, every single presidential candidate has brought up the disaster of iran. >> brought up six or seven

times carly fiorina evaded sanctions and sold high tech to iran wanted she has got to account for that. >> i need to correct that record because that's not true. aren't national sanctions. >> keep it going ever you cut us off. >> gentlemen. thank you very much. plenty more ahead as this factor special moves along this evening. is the media ganging up on donald trump? we'll debate that and, the for that phenomenon, what's driving her new popularity. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. do you suffer from constipation or irregularity? trust dulcolax® for dependable relief. try free at dulcolaxoffers.com dulcolax® stool softner makes it easier to go comfortably. hurry! try free at dulcolaxoffers.com. dulcolax®. designed for dependable relief.

in the unresolved problem segment, is the media lying in wait to get donald trump and manufacture controversy? this week at a campaign rally in new hampshire, donald trump was asked this question. >> we have a problem in this country, it's called muslims, we know our current president is one you know he is not an american. bitter certificate man. we have training cramps where they want to kill us. that is my question when can we get rid of them. >> we are going to be looking at a lot of different things. a lot of people are saying that and people are saying bad things are happening out there. we will be looking at that and plenty of other things. >> the trump campaign says donald didn't hear the part where obama was incorrectly called a muslim and there is even some speculation that the question was a plant. just the lawsuitest example

of a political dirty trick still the media is going wild with the story and dominating coverage on cable news and the web. joining us with action tea party news network news director and in washington, d.c. david, chairman of go pack pro-republican group. scottie, does the media are have it in for trump? >> no i think it's the exact opposite to be honest with you. why would they have it in for trump? has produced the best ratings yet. definitely more than we have seen for any other presidential or political campaign. why would they have it in for trump. actually the politicians adding the spice, trying to encourage this and make this more of a story than what it really is. >> okay, so, well, david, what about that? the media brought it up. and at least four or five potential candidates have said trump was wrong for not stopping that town hall questioner. frankly, you know, there are some things going on in the country right now, if we are worried about whether or not donald trump heard or

misheard a question are, are we wasting our time? >> well, welcome to the big leagues, mr. trump. when you are running for president, you need to speak with clarity, and rally people around the ideas of how you are going to lead the country. and he didn't do either yesterday. if you are are -- if you think about his comment, which is we will look into that, what's he talking about? is he going to look into -- >> -- is that the biggest issue right now? we are worried about how he responded to -- frankly sounded like an actor reading a script. >> eric, if the question if his answer to the question was we are going it look into radical islam. that is a major issue facing our country and one that was mr. trump showed he wasn't quite ready to handle even if the debate the other night. carly fiorina didn't have a problem with it marco rubio didn't have a problem with it so if we are just going it look into what the problem is with radical islam, that's not what voters are are looking for in their next president. they want someone who is ready to act definitively.

>> scotty, why didn't donald trump do what he has done so many times on the campaign trail show so far when there is a question he doesn't want to talk about he will say i don't want to talk about that t. right now. i will look into it and talk about it later. it would have been that summer, no? >> it would have been that simple. here is the thing about trump. can't win with anybody. i mean, he says something, he gets criticized. is he is quiet and he gets criticized. i think the fact that has enough nerve to stand up and have an open town hall with hundreds of people. thousands of people asking unscreened questions shows courage. and then his answer was very diplomatic. that's what you say. you don't sit there and dismiss somebody. you don't belittle people. it didn't work out too well for mccain in 2008 to be honest with you when belittled different groups with his ansrs. what he did was very diplomatic. i think it actually showed a lot of grace and respect for the people in that room. >> see, david, here is what happens. you know this being on the right. you know that the liberal media wants to talk about anything that takes the spotlight off the bad things that are going on in the obama administration.

this week we had poverty rate come out, census put out poverty rate at 15%. that's -- 45 million people are living in poverty. isis is killing people. refugees are coming over here. we are worried about whether or not trump heard a question about obama's birth certificate or not. >> hillary clinton actually was one of the first questions to issue. actually the democrats who want to distract from the obama administration. if hillary would not have issued then you have people like chris christie, kasich, and others fall in line behind the democrats which shows their init'ses right now. >> david? >> this are going to do anything they can to take pot shots at him including being wrong which they are in this case. >> david? >> look, you can't have it both ways. and it's why people need to, when running for president, and it's why first time candidates often struggle. you have to speak with clarity. look, the media is not your press secretary. they are going to cover those things, do you have to

have, you know, these if this question comes up. here is exactly the way you have to answer. that's what these campaigns do. that's what these candidates do, they have advisors, as you well know, who have every question possible answered for them, maybe these -- maybe a trump or a bernie sanders are doing well because they are not listening to these advisors. >> mr. trump has to be mr. trump. that's why he is the frontrunner in the party right now because he is willing to say what he believes, without filters. that said, you can't be happy about all the coverage you get when you get someone to come on stage and touch your hair to say whether it's real or not. and get upset for you not addressing a question that's given to you by someone in the town hall that you set up. you can't have both ways. >> that's the phony part in this, dave, you set there and said he is struggling he is obviously not because he is he number one. >> i said he struggled with one question. >> his struggle is actually real. it's actually, i think, allowing him to bond with the majority of the american

people. >> >> you are not saying that trump actually invited all these people to come to this town hall. it's a town hall this come and ask their questions. scottie, i only have about 30 sects, was that a plant the questioner? >> i can't determine that. whether it was or wasn't weather it wasn't. i guarantee mr. trump handled this beautifully. he he will handle diplomatic relations just the same way, better than we currently have. >> woomplet he will leave it right there. scottie and david thank you very much. directly ahead, carly fiorina received rave reviews for g.o.p. debate. a rival says that was a forgone conclusion conclusion. i'm going to it will you all about this as this o'reilly factor special continues. bring us your aching...

thanks for staying with us for this election 2016 special. i'm eric bolling in for bill o'reilly. in the personal story segment tonight, a carly fiorina upon no, ma'am numb by many accounts she won the debate a few days ago, but at least one of her rivals since the media is in the tank for her. >> when you walked off the stage, did you have one opinion of what happened and then you listened to the people, the press and then saw the reviews and everything else and have another or did they sink up for you? >> oh, i think going in we knew the narrative no matter what was going to happen was

that they were going to say carlie had a big night no matter what and obviously they said that. >> so does scott walker have a point? joining us now from chartsville university of virginia politics professor larry sabato and from washington national political reporter for the "boston globe" each not sure the media was in the tank for anyone. but you have to admit. carlie had a very good debate eric she had a terrific debate. under card debate with fox in august. this wasn't a great surprise. i think frankly, if there is one thing just about everybody hates, it's whining from candidates who didn't do well at a debate. and that, i'm sorry to say, is what governor walker is doing. >> what do you think, matt? is it a fair -- honestly, scott walker needed a big debate. didn't really get the big debate so maybe it is a little bit of sour grapes. >> it doesn't sound a lot like sour grapes.

carlie for that did have a good night on toughly. she has risen rapidly here. and in some respects she wasn't even supposed to be on the stage under the original rules that cnn had for it so i think it was a good debate for her and stars are kind of rising and see how long she can keep it there. >> do you think there was fair treatment of carlie? there were a lot of questions about some of her -- listen, i think she is fantastic. she gets it out there. she is very confident there are some questions about her business past. >> start with matt. >> yeah. you think that's, you know, that really damaged her in her 2010 senate race which she lost to senator barbara boxer in california. i think that's where this turns next a little bit is resurrecting some of those criticisms about her tenure at hewlett packard which we saw a little bit of during the debate particularly with carlie fiorina going back and forth with donald trump. i think, you know, the average voter doesn't know carly fiorina that well and i think they will learn a lot more about her as this more scrutiny over her

business record. >> it strikes me that carly fiorina on the left. hillary clinton is using the gender politics, carly fiorina steams to want to push it away. is that a missteak? well, let's see what happens as things unfold. remember, were she to become the nominee, i'm sure that the fact that she was the nominee or even on the ticket would help to neutralize some of that gender fact for for the democrats. can you, but, you know, let me interject here, eric, yes, carly fiorina lost that senate race by about 10 points in california, 2010. yes, it was a solid republican year but it was california, it's a deep' blue state. my questions is carly fiorina is much better prepared to compete because of what happened in 2010. >> matt, she definitely stnd up her game. you know, 1 people on stage she did very well cutting in

when it was not her turn to talk and some of other candidates might learn from her. >> she more effectively than anybody else went after trump. and she said so much and so few words. you know, her remark about her looks, wept over very well against trump. she sort of put trump on the defensive in a way that other candidates have really struggled to be able to to do. >> let me go back to larry. chris christie, that back and forth between trump and carlie was going and heated and elevating. and a lot of things were coming out. a lot of information was coming out. cruise christie stopped them in their tracks and said this is what we don't want. maybe he is wrong. maybe it is what we want. maybe we want to hear what people's pasts are are and we don't need the political speech that a candidate does. that's what those two were doing. they were pushing away from the typical political debate. don't worry we have plenty of time to get into that. that was cruise christie's best moment. don't cake it away from him,

eric. >> you think that was his best moment? >> are we ever going to have a long discussion about business practices and corporate culture and things that many americans know very little about. there are pluses and minuses to point out in both trump's case and carly fiorina's case. and there is plenty of campaigning time left. there are plenty of debates left to do that. >> larry, we were learning about the past of two major contenders. we were learning thing that we might not have learned had they not gone at it on the stage and as christie said stop because maybe matt he doesn't want to go back into some of the things in his past. >> yeah, and it felt like, you know, almost a debate and in a corporate board room over each other's business background and business experience which given the resume of carly fiorina and donald trump is an important debate for the two of them to have. i was interested and i was sort of disappointed chris christie cut it off. you understand why christie did it. he was eager to inject himself. he needs to have a big moment. it may have been his best moment of the night.

misswill turn anan asphalt parking lot

into a new neighborhood for san franciscans. a vote for "yes" on "d" is definitely a vote for more parks and open space. a vote on proposition "d" is a vote for jobs. campos: no one is being displaced. it's 40% affordable units near the waterfront for regular people. this is just a win-win for our city. i'm behind it 100%. voting yes on "d" is so helpful to so many families in our city. beating their rear ends every weekend in ratings. and man this was their way of paying back. i don't know. i'm just saying. it could be. who knows. >> if you had to do it over again, would you have interrupted more, set yourself on fire?

so then the camera would have had to have gone to you. would you have done a stunt to try to get attention? >> well, two of the questions that i got i only got because i did interrupt. and just basically shoe horned my way into the discussion. i'm not sure that if i had done that i would have ended up having one question the entire night. look, i think people forget that this is not a tv show. it is supposed to be a forum in which republicans, not the whole country, republicans get a chance to decide who their nominee will be for president. we don't need to have the playground argument of he hut me. let me hut him back. we are adults. we are running for president. and the whole forum should have been dressed in that manner. >> you are a policy wonk. okay? you turned ohio around. i don't care if people think that i'm favoring you. i'm not. i'm telling the truth. you did a magnificent job in ohio. i never thought you were going to be able to do what did you there. but, when you go out and you start to tell people about what you did in ohio, they

fog out o, governor. you are like the gold glove winner on baseball who makes all the catches but doesn't hit any home runs. >> but, bill, here is the thing you have got it realize. i'm running second in new hampshire. i mean, my campaign started on july 21st and i'm now running second. >> there is only 17 people in the whole state. >> launching pad. >> in the country, you have got to get well known. >> well, but bill, look, you will be. you do well in iowa or you do well, you win new hampshire or do really well there, you will be known this the country that's the beauty of this. >> new hampshire. come on. >> carry forward. here is what i want you to know. i'm building out my national campaign. i'm four hiring staff in south carolina, in michigan, in iowa, we're raising money all over the country. just be patient. i you have only been in this suns july 21. look. here's the national poll. i love people in nebraska. but it doesn't matter what they think about me today. it matters what the

impression i make early on. >> absolutely. >> i want you to grade it matters about the impression i make early on. >> i want you to grade yourself in the debate. what grade would you give yourself? >> the grading is going to be done by the american people. but i can tell you why i was happy with my performance. i think what the voters are looking for, i think they're not interested in the back and forth, the schoolyard insults that a lot of the debate focused on. they're interested in substance. and there's a real difference in the records of the different candidates. on this stage, there were an all loft of what i call campaign conservatives. people who talk a good game, but they haven't walked the walk. and i think people are looking for a consistent conservative. someone who's been the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. and i think in this debate, people are able to see a stark difference between my record and the record of the other candidates, whether it was on amnesty, they've supported it, i've opposed it. whether it's on obamacare, i led the fight to stop it, others have not. or whether it's the second

amendment or religious. >> let's talk about terrorism. when the united states invaded afghanistan to get bin laden and take the taliban out of power, you opposed them, correct? >> i opposed iraq and afghanistan. afghanistan does not have a central government. it has three hundred tribal leaders. the only successes we have were through our association with the northern alliance of tribal leaders and that helped for a while. that sort of digs solved now. what have we really accomplished? every nation that has gone into afghanistan to "tame" it has failed. that opportunity mean thdoesn't couldn't take bin laden out.

that doesn't mean that we could not take out the terrorist camps. >> but if a government is declaring war on the united states as the taliban government did, you have to attac the government, do you not? >> i'm not sure we attack every government that declares war on us. >> i can't recall any government declaring war on the united states, attacking the homeland, that we did not remove that government. we always did. doctor, you're always successful to us. you've conducted yourself in an exemplary way. >> up next, ted cruz gives the run down. we'll show that to you next. when you booked this trip,

you didn't know we had over 11,000 local activities listed on our app. or that you could book them right from your phone. a few weeks ago, you still didn't know if you were gonna go. now the only thing you don't know, is why it took you so long to come here. expedia. technology that connects you to the people and places that matter.

before we go tonight, ted cruz is out with a new ad called scorpion that's modelled on a 1984 bear commercial that was a metaphor for the threat posed by the soviet union. steve colbert had some fun with his show. watch. >> there's a scorpion in the desert: for most of us, its venom is a clear and deadly threat. but others refuse to even speak its name. since the scorpion seeks out destruction, isn't it time we recognize the scorpion for what it is before it strikes again? >> i'm ted cruz and i approve this message. >> wait, what does the scorpion represent? is it terrorism? iran? mexicans? scorpions?

this ad has inspired me to tackle an issue i kafr about in a much more specific way. >> there's a spider in the desert. there's also a spider on a stick and this one in utah. look, there's one on a nickel. and check this out, it's a spider doing push ups on a mirror. the point is there are spied eres everywhere. some won't name the spider, but i will. his name is alan. he's going to crawl into your ear while you're sleeping and lay eggs there. spiders, they're hashing in your brain right now. i'm steven colbert, and -- god, what is that? get it off of me? >> that's it for tonight.
