peggy noonan has been great. i think she's fantastic. she's a great writer.ecause for the last three weeks she's written great. but tomorrow she writes a story in which i saw tonight and she talks about we're levelled out. and i think it -- oh, a terrible story. can you imagine being levelled out is a bad story. you know what levelled out means? it means i haven't gone up in the last couple of weeks. it's hard to go when you're at 33, 32, 35. inside the story, she said he had a great week with the polls. i say, how can i say levelled out? maybe it was a bad guy who wrote the headline. i said, well, wait, how are we levelled out? then they talked about nevada. where i'm up at 38% and win the hispanics. can you believe it? and peggy -- and remember i like her a lot. i think she's great. and then she said, great week but the title was not so good. and then -- so she said, nevada great week. at south carolina, 36. and then in connecticut, which just came out. that's quinnipiac. great pollster. i'm at 34 to 14. she puts these in. i'm saying, how did i level out? i

martha: peggy noonan ripped apart the debate itself. she said he was playing from an old play book. it's 2015. we are in crisis. they don't care about your heart and joy. they care about your guts, brains and toughness. he wasn't campaigning joyously. you asked hip if he's happy, he says i am happy, thing are good. he was unjoy on you as he said it. and not being able to speak up to marco rubio. that's just unforgivable. i can see why the governor are upset. they are upset because this is a candidate who doesn't seem to be prepared for the attacks coming at him. martha: they will spend $11 million in new happen shire on ad. in iowa they are at 6% and they want to get to 18%. he's got his work cut out for him in the next self weeks. bill: jimmy kimmel weighing in. >> there were moments when the asking you got out of hand with 10 candidate on the staingt' hard to speak. at a certain point i didn't know if i was watching a debate or the view. >> should the federal government play a larger role in setting up retirement plan for these workers? >> no.

i want to be a former speech writer like peggy noonan or pat buchanan or michael gerson. >> don't sayoint, but let's not compare you ever to pat buchanan. >> we're both from washington, d.c. um, so here's the concept, and i don't know whether the boss will buy it, but "in april i put you on warning and now i'm throwing you out of the game." t you're done. you had your opportunity to deliver. there've been a few flagrant fouls like blaming this on the president for not enforcing the law when he's deported more people, or exploiting these little kids coming across the border and now you're out. democrats, the president is the only player left on the field, and we're gonna make sure that he's..." but don't you think that if gutiérrez is doing like this to the republicans that picture will be in every single paper in spanish? >> where'd you get these? >> i don't know. >> newspaper. you don't remember? >> no. this is for the special world cup edition. >> so do you like the red card ejection, susan? >> i love it. i love it. >> yeah. >> it's current. >> it's very hip, doug. >> it is choreogr

. >> when we think about the "wall street journal" columnist peggy noonan writing that the crisp andormance closed any opening for biden to get in, saying quote, she to tank and very obviously for him to swoop. she didn't. if he jumped in now he would look like a spoiler doing it not to save the party but fulfill his sense of destiny. is there an issue of perception about what the vice president's calculations could be about why wait, why decide, is it all about whether or not a clinton campaign collapses? >> i don't think so. first of all, again, joe biden is vice president of the united states of america. not like he's a random junior senator from a small state or somebody on a quixotic mission here. he's obviously run for president before, has been a major figure in the administration, the major figure besides barack obama. perfect justification in his own right to run for president. again, i think he's got plenty of reason. >> is it your estimation and your opinion that prior to the personal situation, loss of his son beau, that he would have been likely in this and in it a long

(interrupting) you can't pick it up, can you? go ahead. he can't lift the hammer. it's okay though! you're going to change the world. this bale of hay cannot be controlled. when a wildfire raged through elkhorn ranch, the sudden loss of pasture became a

. >> peggy noonan this morning writes "he's got the guts and the hunger but does he have the brains to a couple years building this case and vetting and in one moment the rug is pald out. -- the rug is pulled out. the bull has been rung. i've seen it in politics, there's nothing can you do to unring it bell. the point is -- i like kevin but is this who you want to lead your conference after a decade of bumbling around? >> it's true, it's been stricken from the record perhaps but the jury heard exactly what was said. does this jeopardize kevin mack car think's chance of being speaker? >> to he doesn't understand the magnitude of this issue or he can't fix it. the bell can't be unrung. it seems like he's on track to still be pooh stupid, as if that guy doesn't understand like "washington post" when you're speaker, you're going to be judged as very rocky time trieding to lead not just the house budget committee because this is a seminal moment in the context of hillary clinton's chances to be president of the united states. >> we've lost 5 of the 6 last presidential elections in the popul

been described as a lackluster performance at wednesday's debate, "wall street journal" columnist peggy noonanng about this bid. she wrote this. it's hard for me to see how the can work. by hard for me i mane impossible him we are joined by republican strategist lisa booth, democratic strategy it's maria car don't na. it's great to have you with us. lisa, i want to start with you, this leaked jeb bush campaign memo to supporters calling marco rubio a ricky bet as the nominee against hillary clinton. marco rubio was asked about it yesterday. here's what he said. >> again, guys, it's a part of the decision they machltd think have a rate to make i. i don't think it's a job for republicans to do hillary clinton's job, one of the reasons we lost in 2012 weakened if nominees. i can't control the people's campaign. i can control mine. >> they mentioned hillary clinton him she tried this against barack obama in 28. do you think it works this time for jeb bush and marco rubio? >> it's like dating the more desperate you get the unappealing you r. jeb bush is getting desperate. as he should. since mid-ju

that's for you, peggy noonan.arrassing. >> senator claire mccaskill is standing by. first, the chairman of the house homeland security committee. congressman mike mccall joins the conversation. we'll be back in a moment. when a wildfire raged through elkhorn ranch, the sudden loss of pasture became a serious problem for a family business. faced with horses that needed feeding and a texas drought that sent hay prices soaring, the owners had to act fast. thankfully, mary miller banks with chase for business. and with greater financial clarity and a relationship built for the unexpected, she could control her cash flow, and keep the ranch running. chase for business. so you can own it. chase for business. well, right now you can get 15 gigs for the price of 10. that's 5 extra gigs for the same price. so five more gigs for the same price? yea, allow me to demonstrate. you like that pretzel? yea. 50% more data for the same price. i like this metaphor. oh, it's even better with funnel cakes. but very sticky. get 15 gigs

peggy noonan did a big thing on it. >> she did. >> which was very nice of her, a talented person. >>th strong leaders. we want to get your reaction to this. military officer has recommended against bowe bergdahl serving any jail time further. didn't you say bowe bergdahl for what he did should be executed? >> in the old days when we were strong and smart and had a country that really was respected all over the world, you would execute a person like that. he's a traitor. he left, six people were killed looking for him. six people went out there trying to downplay that now. six people went out looking for him, trying to find him, they were killed, all killed. young, beautiful, incredible people, they were killed looking for this guy and now not only will he not be what they used to do, now he's going to probably get off scott free. it is inconceivable what's going on with our country. >> donald, the big picture looking at the cbs poll and has you up by six, leading in all the polls including the national poll. ben carson is number two. he seems to be relatively hot and last week he was

iceberg that people like edward morris describe or more of the likable intelligence and someone like peggy noonan describes question. >> i would say that reagan was while he was approachable as lacey didn't get too close. there's a distance from infinity to we'll say the equivalent of 10 feet where reagan was the nicest guy you could imagine. he was someone who learned at an early age when he was in hollywood how to be in public, how to behave in public. how to be a celebrity. one of the secrets of his success as president, which in politics and generally, is knowing generally, is knowing how to behave in public. there are people who become president who don't understand that the ritual aspects of the presidency are as important as the policy aspects. jimmy carter was stronger than reagan on any number of policy issues but jimmy carter seem to sustain, or at the very least not understand at all what it meant to actually be president. reagan took his cues in this as with many things from roosevelt. he understood the secret to any success was his ability to channel the vision, the hopes, the dreams

ronald reagan had peggy noonan as one of his writers who also wrote for george hw bush when he became president. of course, kennedy's ghost writers and print the roosevelto they were great speeches, words are much more important than many people realize. i remember when hillary clinton was running the last time and she accused her competition of using words, using words is a huge part of leadership. the great presidents have allart had that power o of communicatio lincoln, theodore roosevelt, franklin roosevelt, jack kenned words matter. words into her. the follo they carry on into following generations and we so quote them. imagine martin luther king without the power of his words.s that's why it's so important that we all learn to use the english language. when a best arlene marvelous aspect of the wright brothers was the quality of the letters they wrote. it wasn't just that they wereth correct grammatically, they were powerful.powerful, they were effective. they were clear. be they could be very funny and touching. they were incapable as thethey w collection of the library ofs con
