with me now, we've got steve hayes of the weekly standard and steve moore from the heritage foundatione start with you. how does the immigration thing play out, do you think? >> it sounds like the president's going to move forward. he had members of congress over last week, and he told them, in effect, compartmentalize what i'm doing here. i want to do it my way, but don't hold that against me. melissa: right. [laughter] >> you've obviously heard that congressional republicans that it will poison the well, it gives a sign the president didn't pay any attention to the election results of last week, and i think it will lead us back to the gridlock, maybe exacerbate the problems we've had over the past couple of years. melissa: steve moore, is that how you think it'll play out? >> yeah. it's amazing to me obama's been so belligerent. it's like -- melissa: he's angry. >> steve, i'm not so sure that he has heard the voter message, so you've got this on the internet tax and regulatorien forcement, you've got this now on the irs. it'll be very interesting, melissa, if the house and senate pas

steve hayes and ron christie are back with us. [laughter] steve, what'd you think of that?, it was an interesting speech. she did a lot of laughing at her own jokes which was a little awkward, but her reference to making washington squeal was a reference to this ad that she used in the primaries and then reprised in the general election about castrating hogs when she was a youngster. it clearly was the ad of the cycle. i think it catapulted her candidacy into sort of prominence in iowa and also across the country. and i expect that she'll bring that psalm -- that same sort of cost-cutting or cutting enthusiasm -- tracy: some pig analogy in there. [laughter] ron, mia love, take a listen to her too. she surprised a lot of people at at -- people as well. >> many of the naysayers out there said that utah would never elect a black republican lds woman to congress. not only did we do it, we were the first to do it. [cheers and applause] tracy: is this all part of the sea change, ron? >> it really is. ya love is such a great -- mia love is such a great candidate, and for her to sa

steve hayes, good morning to you.ska declared for the republicans and sullivan wins over mark begich. we ar -- they are at plus 8. it could be plus 9. they did a test vote and they had 11 democrats vote for it. if harry reid does it now, does it matter? >> i don't think it matters a lot. >> they will i think put mary landrieu at the center of everything that happens with respect to keystone. they will call up the consent vote. and i think it will pass. what matters is what the president does, what matters is what the white house decides. we heard from the president last tuesday that he's not pushing quickly to get anything done. bill: so it passes. does that affect landrieu's chances? she is running against bill cassidy. here is what he had to say last night about that. >> i think it 7 incredibly cynical. -- i think it's incredibly cynical. could have brought this up any time he wished. instead of bringing construction jobs and benefits related to the pipeline he doesn't do it. the only jobe's interested in protecting

steve hayes, charles lane, and charles krauthammer. steve?my favorite line from that mashup was, that's not how our system works. the president's right, i glee with the president back then, he made that argument repeatedly, he made it forcefully and how he has completely and totally reversed himself. i think because he believes that democrats have a huge advantage on this issue. and i think it's unclear that that's actually going to be the case. remember the conventional wisdom in washington a year ago was that if congress didn't pass that bill and have the president sign it, this was going to be the death of the republican party. it didn't happen, i think the conventional wisdom on this that this automatically helps the president, particularly in light of the elections that we had last week and some of the polling that we have seen on this question, particularly on executive amnesty. >> a lot of the focus, chuck is obviously on what happens with republicans, and do they try to attach something to the continuing resolution? does it push to an

our fitness expert steve hayes is here to help us navigate good to see you again. >> good to see you barbara. >> you're feeling good again after your moment of challenge t let's talk, there's some things can do. >> right, the first is a little warm-up. you have a bench or steps at your house. just step up on the step. bring this leg up. see what you're doing then is you're working quad, abs and hips. you step up, alternate the leg. when you come up, bring this one up. work the abs. >> this is best done on stairs. >> on irstas, yeah. the bench, because we don't haca do it on the stair or just on the roll -- bring your legs up. without even having a bench or next one, this is called a three in one exercise. this is the one, this way, you go from a curl, to a shoulder press. then to a lunge. curl, shoulder press, then a backwards lunge. >> all right. >> i volunteer you. >> okay. >> curl, shoulder. then step - >> curl back down. >> and then come back and lunge. >> oh. i'm wearing high heels. >> just take your time. >> you show us. i will do this, i promise. but i have to take off these g

let's bring in our panel, steve hayes, senior writer for the weekly standard, and singd indicated columnistkrauthammer. he's damaging the presidency, and i feel like i have heard this before on obama care and the republicans can't stop it. are we going to see a replay? >> they're pretty limited in what they can do right now in terms of the actions they can take, particularly when we're not even into the new congress. but if you look at what the president said today in his speech, particularly in response to the heckler, he made this very clear that he wants this to be the first step. that's crazy, this is not the first step to anything. >> the heckler on the left said you should be doing more. >> the president responded in effect saying, i want to do more, you should understand, there's a lot more to come, i would like them to pass a bill, i want comprehensive immigration reform. republicans at this point should be very aggressive and not stupid, and finding the balance there is going to be key. but they should -- this is an up popular president pushing an unpopular proposal at a time when

let's bring back our panel, george will, mara and steve hayes, senior writer for the weekly standard.barrassing for mary landrieu, she wanted to frame this upcoming runoff as mary landrieu who can get things done in the senate, who is an advocate for the energies industry in louisiana. she can't make that argument anymore. i don't think ultimately it matters much. i think it was unlikely she was going to win whether this passed or whether it didn't pass, but what's interesting looking down the road is that this is to help republicans try to reframe the relationship between congress and the president in the new congress. they want to make president ob obstructionist, it looks like they'll have, if the people vote the same way then that they voted today, they'll have at least 63 votes, you have udall that becomes corrie gardner, tom harken become s joi ernst. >> president obama avoids the threat now, but he gets in january. >> he gets it in january, or maybe he just approves that before this can happen. i don't know if he wants this to be the first showdown of the new congress. he has n

. >> senior writer for the weekly standard, steve hayes, and fox news contributor. i don't know. did she have a slip of the memory there over the last five years, steve? >> i suppose we shouldn't be surprised that nancy pelosi is now saying she doesn't know who jonathan gruber was when before she acknowledged she hadn't read the bill itself. this -- look, this is embarrassing for her. this is embarrassing for the white house. it certainly should be embarrassing for jonathan gruber. >> they tried to deceive the american public into accepting their narrative about obama care and what it would do and how it would work. that's been exposed, in part, because jonathan gruber is so arrogant that he decided to boast about it on a number of different occasions. now that they're caught, they're running as fast as they can away from that. >> i know that you're pointing out that it's members of the press as well. i want you to take a look at the headline from the washington post. here's what it said. nothing about gruber. what it said is stupidity comments renew g.o.p.vitreal on obama care. h

let's bring in our panel steve hayes, and charles krauthammer.hopefully we don't see what we saw last night. you heard the president earlier in this newscast urging calm, what about the developments today? >> i thought the president's comments were exactly right. he hit on the mark. he condemned the violence. he said the people that were committing the violence should be prosecuted if they continue. and then he talked about looking to other ways to -- if you want a to protest, protest, if you want to channel your anger, do it in a positive and constructive way and work for change. now i disagree with some of the, you know, particulars of his analysis. but i thought on the whole, that he sort of rose to the occasion, in what looked to be c-- you thought they would have been scripted or built on what he said last night. and it really soujded like he was talking to the american people and i think he was quite effecttive. >> at that time, i gave myself a mental note, can i shoot this guy? legally can i? and the question i asked myself was, i have to,

jon: let's bring in steve hayes for the weekly standard, juan williams is our fox news political analystgood to have you both here in new york. you both disagreed about a lot of stuff over the years. you both have written pieces in disagreement over one key fact i want to bring up. you say there is a lack of defining issue in this year's campaign. >> i think so. some people would make the case if you look at the polls for the economy in general, generalize anxiety. go to a place like colorado, talk about women's issues. in general this seems to be what people are sort of casually calling a science held election, what is this about. if you are republican answer has been a vote against obama, look for independence and democrats there is this kind of the country going in the right direction, wrong direction, people say am i comfortable with the way things are going in general, it goes back to the republican perception. for most people it is almost status quo. jon: you are disputing the seinfeld characterization, election about nothing. what is your take? >> it is about president obama. it i

steve hayes, senior writer for the weekly standard. and syndicated column nis charles krauthammer.e saying don't shop here, there's too much increase in econviction. >> they want to make it a big deal because americans spend a ton of money on black friday every single year and they think this contrast helps them make a pr case. i will stay that that protester that we saw there, doesn't make a terribly compelling case, we demand $15, we demand -- when -- that kind of screaming, yelling and basically threatening i think isn't likely to change a lot of minds. >> william watching us was reporting out in california on these protests, and he interviewed some walmart workers, of course they're working as they're being ber viewed. but the woman said in less than a year, going from a customer service position and now she's a mag for her the walmart experience was a blogood one, f some -- that's been true for companies throughout history. i don't remember the last time i saw any kind of protest that proceeded with sort of a quiet discourse on economics. i think that was a standard protest la

steve hayes, ron williams, and charles krauthammer. steve, what about that?well, i mean it's been very interesting to watch this president have to deal with the fact that he's not being asked to come and campaign for democrats across the country, he clearly resents it, he's inserted himself repeatedly into this election, in ways that i think democrats don't find helpful. he's making the claim that these policies are on the ballot. and this interview that he gave to a black radio station in georgia where he said my legacy, my final two years in office are going to depend on michelle nunn being there to help me keep a democratic senate. i mean immediately, you saw her numbers start to slip. it was exactly the wrong thing that georgia democrats would have had the president say and yet he said it. and i talked to republicans say who say there's a real chance that perdue wins tomorrow, which nobody was talking about two week ago. >> i think that one of the realities inside the white house is a sense that they don't understand why they are so beleaguered externally

steve hayes, fox news contributor, welcome.d to have you here tonight. >> hi, martha. >> how does this play out? typically hispanics have generally voted with democrats, but there were some signs in this midterm election that that dynamic may be changing. >> yeah, there certainly were. greg abbott did real well with hispanics in texas as you point out. in colorado there were gains made by republicans. i think if republicans talk about immigration in a straightforward, clear and common sense way, they can have it both ways. they can appeal to the republican faith that's skeptical of broad-based immigration reform or that would include amnesty. and they can also appeal to hispanic voters by conveying a sense of fairness >> there are those in the republican party on a more conservative side who wanted to say no who say that anyone who takes this as an indication that americans are okay with amnesty will pay for it come 2016. >> yeah. i think there are a number of different ways to address that. and i think the first thing that rep

. >> but why ise the things steve hayes outlined, why aren't they running away with it?very clear that there's going to be a wave election tomorrow? >> i think there are a couple reasons. one is they'reáppg running agai particularly good and pedigreed democrats. there are names, begich in alaska, landrieu in louisiana, pryor in arkansas. udall is running in colorado. and of course in georgia you've got sam nunn's daughter and jimmy carter's grandson. these are fairly good candidates. and the name carries a lot of weight. we think of ourselves as a ymonarchial all the way back. it isn't that easy a field. wherever the democrats have been able to localize the election to make it about the incumbent and that their pedigree and attractiveness, political attractiveness i should say, to be rather specific, they're doing rather well. to the extent it is a nationalized election the republicans are doing very well. >> we shall find out soon, wetuñ hope. could be as late as december or january. but charles will be live with us tomorrow night as our coverage begins at 6:00 p.m. >>

bill: steve hayes from washington there, leaving our coverage there. martha: will the immigration debate lead to a government shutdown. we'll have senator rob for theman anfor -- nor robportman s analyst brit hume. there are a lot of the things in the president's proposal that appears to be have much in line with what the republicans say they wanted all along. but he seems to want to force it before the vote on it. you have got six different video of jonathon gruber counting off the lies that were told to the american voters. just listen for yourself. >> a lack of transparency is a big political advantage. call it the stupidity of the american voter but it was necessary to get it passed. martha: so clever. now we are getting new details on how much he was paid to tell those stories about the lies americans were being told. stuart varney joins us live. he's a smarty pants, mr. griesh, he knows all and the american people do not. they simply don't get it. it goes over their heads. he got paid we are finding out a pretty penny to tell those stories. >> re

stuart: come john, steve hayes. >> president obama was going to turn conciliatory would do it after 2010 purposely didn't do it. didn't want to let go clinton. he didn't turn to the republicans. >> to was running for the election. stuart: you don't -- do you think president obama will now compromise to some degree? >> there might be compromises on taxes, he is not going to see -- stuart: no lunch compromise. >> no evidence of compromise. >> smart move would be to compromise that he is an ideologue. of the when you were a star. stuart: thank you very much. the republicans can still pile on this victory. three races still up for grabs. look at virginia. said gillespie giving mark warner the fight of his life, lee for warner, too close to call, warner calling on gillespie to succeeded won't do it at this point. louisiana there will be a runoff between mary landrieu and bill cassidy, cassidy the republican is the front runner. in alaska we are waiting for this one to be called. dan sullivan with a slim lead over democrat mark begich. president obama speaks 2:50 eastern time. some degree of c

bill: stephen hayes with the weekly standard with me now, how are you, steve? >> morning, bill.uld be more than a photo op. you can make it that way if you want, right? >> sure, you can, but i think the republicans are right to be skeptical. we've seen from the president in the past that when he wins elections, he's not eager to compromise. we've also seen that after 2010 when he loses elections, he's not here to compromise. if you look at what he said in his press conference earlier this week, he seems to define compromise as those areas when republicans come and agree with the policy positions that he puts forth. bill: what, 2008, 2010, 2012? if you agree with me, i'll compromise? if i -- >> pretty much. bill: if i like what you're doing, i'll do it? >> look, he basically said that. the president was asked repeatedly, mr. president, are you willing to talk to republicans, are you willing to move over to republicans and seek some compromise? are you willing to be more like bill clinton, is the way that ed henry phrased it, and he, in effect, said, no. we're here to get stuff do

things got heated between chris hayes and steve schmidt after the president announced his plan.ng that stops the president from in january barn storming the country to build public support to pressure congress to change the law. that's what we do in this country. we do things like this by changing the law. >> okay. >> not by executive -- >> the idea that house would pass comprehensive immigration reform frankly, is preposterous. >> now we'll never know. it's not about how many miles you can get out of the c-max hybrid. it's about how much life you can fit into it. ♪ the ford c-max hybrid. with an epa-estimated range of 540 miles on a tank of gas. and all the room you need to enjoy the trip. go stretch out. go further. in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and

okay, steve hayes, kirsten powers have been watching the results come in tonight.join us now with their take. what do you think? >> well, john kasich's victory is interesting. you know, something we haven't paid a lot of attention to precisely because it was so close. he ran a good campaign. knocked out his opponent early. fitzgerald didn't have much of a campaign. he wasn't thought of much of a contender. we spent a lot of time talking and analyzing the races that are are very close. we don't spend a lot of time talking about the ones that aren't for obvious reasons. i think kasich deserves a lot of credit for the way he has run the state for the way he has ran his campaign and the way he made arguments to his voters. >> why does ohio matter in 2016. >> ohio matters in 2016 for a couple of beans reasons. ohio is one of the key states in battle ground states in every presidential election. number one and number two there is a lot of speculation that kasich might try to capitalize on his victory here and run for president himself. >> have a republican in the state h
