. >> all right, are you, alan colmes going to let them gas the kids. >> i'm not going to let them gaskids. you have to get interinitial coalition. you can't just do it by yourself. >> you are not going to get russia you get the others and bomb the hell out of them. >> have a plan in place though. what do you do if assad is gone. >> have a plan in place. they can't dictate what happens after assad. you have got to punish the gassers. you have got to punish them. >> of course you do. however. so often we go in and don't have a plan after. >> put new charge of the after plan. >> appreciate that. >> i want everybody to know that colmes is now war mongering and wants to punish the syrians. >> right. >> alan colmes, everybody. when we come right back, bernie goldberg on how the network news is covering the horrific crimes we just talked about. waters world, the dumbest things ever said during that segment. i hope i'm not in this. the factor will continue in just a few moments. there's a new way to buy a car. it's called truecar. and truecar users... save time and money. so when you're... re

here now monica crowley and alan colmes. colmes, remind me again why showing an i.d.o vote is a bad thing. >> most case you do. they want to show. usually show a utility bill, telephone bill or any one of a variety of things. what north carolina is doing saying we will only allow one form of i.d. and they are addressing a problem that doesn't exist very little. >> either a driver's license or if you don't want to drive a state issued i.d. >> you have to go some cases hundreds of miles to get it. >> bill: hundreds of miles? >> i thought conservatives were against making unnecessary laws. >> bill: correct me if i am wrong, colmes, but in every driving place in north carolina every place you get a driver's license to take a test or anything like that. he they are going to give the voter id law out for free. >> a lot of people don't have cars are poor. don't have access to a place to go to get those ids. >> bill: wait, you are saying alan colmes is saying on the in front of millions of people. >> millions. >> bill: folks in north carolina, like aunt bee, opie, who can't p

alan colmes, the host of the alan colmes show and author of the thank the liberals for saving americare fox news contributors. jim, less than 300 days since we elected barack obama president. why are we zoo fixated or the media is so fixated on who will run for that office in 2016? >> i worked in five presidential campaigns i tell you each one started the day after the previous election. so when you see for example, claire mccaskill, senator for missouri inaugurated hillary clinton as president in 2011 and every republican is showing up in iowa, i can't really fault the media for covering it. i would just caution however there is a lot of polls floating around which are, not disputing their accuracy but right now they're snapshots that tend to show hillary ahead in quite a few states. i can remember working in the reagan white house way back when in '83, we were down 18 points against walter mondale. a year later we won by 18 points. fun to watch the horse race and don't take it seriously who is ahead right now because we're only around the first corner. jon: alan, is the media at fau

with us are monica crowley and alan colmes. colmes, how would you stop the tremendous violence in chicago. >> like mr. pendleton street buy back program. got 254 illegal weapons off the street. >> bill: buy back. >> registration of guns. more strict gun control. that's what i would do. >> you do realize chicago has the strictest gun control in the country. >> australia and. >> don't have any people. nobody lives there? >> not australia compared to the united states you basically say that strict gun control. >> correct. >> are you for mandatory sentences for people. >> not for mandatory sentences. >> you would control guns strictly but not in the prison sentence. >> bring the guns in. >> i believe judges need to make individual decisions on individual cases. >> not exactly sure that would solve the problem and you say? >>. no because we see the evidence, bill. the evidence is that major metropolitan areas in this country that have the strictest gun controls in the books like washington, d.c., detroit and chicago. have the highest

a republican strategist and blogger, alan colmes, we know him and love him, host of the al alan colmese know you and also love you. the head of the irs enforcing this says i prefer to stay on my current plan as i'm sure millions of americans would like to but may not get to. >> you know that poll that said 77% don't want that individual mandate. 82% of the people -- i have the numbers here don't deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. 61% like the fact they can stay in thei insurance. and 76% like the idea more than 1 in 15 workers are are required to give insurance to their workers. no lifetime or yearly limit, individually, people love the parts of this plan. >> but i would also like to have my own private island and that's not going to happen because somebody has to pay for this stuff. >> that's all fine and good what you're saying. that's not fair. they're getting a cadillac of health care. we get a pinto. we don't even get to pick. >> alan. >> and people die. what's worse is we are paying for 75% of their cadillac. >> you know what you're doing now, you are now payin

alan colmes, home of the alan colmes show and author of, "thank the liberals for saving america" theontributors. jim, when it was envisioned it would be heavily skewed, well, not heavily, but about 60% domestic news and 40% overseas news. now they're saying this will be a mostly domestic coverage television channel from al-jazeera. do they stand a chance? >> well, you know it is a big cable world and they have a lot of money they hired a ton of people here in new york and in washington and so, i don't think they really care frankly what their ratings are. the government of qatar long ago decided with al-jazeera international they wanted to be a player in the media by spending a fortune and they have done that and, i think we'll have to see what they have put on the air but i suspect it will be around for a long time even if nobody watches. jon: nobody is watching current tv right now. they had 24,000 viewers in prime time the last i checked that is the channel that is going to become al-jazeera. what do you think, alan? >> i have more people than that in my building. i just, i believ

the plug on these montle projects, joining us now from locke fox news analyst monica crowley and alan colmes'm going to start with alan here. >> this is fantastic. >> laura: this is great. come on, it's the only thing that surprises me, is how early they announce these projects, right? i mean we barely wrapped up the last presidential election and the ode to obama bin laden movie and now we are on to hillary. >> may i ask you a question ms. incorporate gram if i may be so formal? >> always, i adore you. >> cnn did a mitt romney documentary in october just before the election, was there any complaint about that? >> laura: it was really boring that was my client. >> you don't know. this hasn't been filmed yet and you have priebus. no problem with a documentary on mitt romney before the election. >> laura: that was a cut and paste deal. >> has reeves priebus seen it yet. >> laura: i saw it. it was really boring. >> the hillary one. >> laura: you are smarter than that. >> not really. lure lawyer good good point, go to hanukkah. you can't blame priebus. >> yes, can i. >> laura: last debate we had

alan colmes , tom sullivan, john gibson. it will air on fox business network at 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. two hours. >> since greg gutfeld is not here, can i say -- >> you have guests on the show? >> no guests. >> i swear. if i am not on, i am irritated. >> that's it for "the five." see you tomorrow, everybody. bret baier on deck. >>> state department employees on leave since benghazi invited back to work. the total now being punished in the deaths of four americans, zero. this is "special report." good evening, i'm bret baier. nearly one year after the terror attacks that killed the u.s. ambassador to libya and three others, no one in the state department or obama administration has been fired or lost a paycheck. today the few who were singled out for very mild disciplinary action were invited

let's chat with alan colmes. and katie palette. i think the paul bunyon ad is funny.llion dollars funny. does it strike you as excessive to spend this much money, a billion dollars in taxpayer dollars to let people know they should sign up for obama-care? >> it's being spent by the states but it's still excessive. martha: it's tax dollars. >> i believe they have have done a bad job in messaging in terms of explaining what obama-care is and what it represents. do you want to have no limit on how much you can spend per year, you want no lifetime limit, you want affordability. you want no punishment for preexisting conditions. they have done a bad job messaging it. martha: what do you think about the paul bunyon ad. they are spending $9 million in minnesota to get $1.3 million people signed up. i think if you were running a business your return on invest -- on that would be sketchy. >> we are talking about taking people off of their employer based insurance and putting them onto the obama-care rolls. the states complain about obama-care and the cost of obama-care. but in

joining us is require lowery and alan colmes.f the back and forth between charles krauthammer and juan. >> what many happening in north carolina. it isn't just voter i.d. they are restricting early voting. they are restricting days you can vote. they know it will be aimed at people who will vote democratic. in pennsylvania where there is voter i.d., the majority leader of the house said it's to help romney win. that they admitted it. there are very few understand kent of voter fraud that takes place at the voting booth. most of it happened in absentee voting. absentee or when you register to vote. >> i think that's ridiculous. the north carolina laugh is common sense. you have to show an i.d. to get into this building. you have to show an i.d. to vote. they are reducing the number of days for early voting in north carolina. but they will increase the number of sites and increase the number of hours because the goal is to keep the total hours available for early voting exactly the same. we are in new york, which doesn't have no qu

joining us is the contributing editor for the american conservator magazine and host of the alan colmesand author of "thank the liberals for saving america." this is an august that i think will be extra reminiscent of what we experienced in 2009, the summer recess may be far from a time of relaxation for members of congress because of all the issues. what do you say, jim? >> i agree. i think that both parties now have learned since that experience in 2009 when sort of the tea party protestors showed up and really raised the roof on democrats on what was then called obamacare and it sort of threw the defendants on the defense and the legislation passed the following year and later that year in 2010, the republicans captured the house. so i think now people realize that these august recess, town hall hearings are an opportunity to show strength as to who can ramp up the numbers and show a strong grass roots presence. it's amusing to read in politico that the organizing for america, the successor to the obama presidential campaign had an event celebrating the affordable care act which had

coming up on "kilmeade & friends" between 9 and noon, alan colmes and john roberts will be plague theallace. he'll be filling in. >>gretchen: thanks very much. a rare sight in utah. these are pictures of what's called a fire nato? what are these and how do they form? good thing we have maria molina on tap to let us know. >> a firenado is when a fire forms a tornado vortex of flames. that's what you're looking at. that happened across utah. we have a serious fire out there. there are two ways a firenado can form. one when a fire forms near a wildfire and picks up flames. the other way is when there is a heavy concentration of heat generated in a small area. when the air heats up it rises and you get images you see on your screen. very impressive and very dangerous. we're looking at wet weather across parts of the southeastern u.s. locally up to 8 inches out here and across the center of the country severe weather possible from south dakota all the way down to texas. of course we'll keep an eye on that. let's head back to the studio. >>peter: it's a summer camp like you've never seen, t
