alan colmes. sound bite.t is the state of this left-right political stuff that is -- we keep coming back to it, it seems to be the mainstay of news talk. debate. partisan politics. we always talk about how it's dead. you're right in the heart of it. what's the state of it? >> bad. you wanted a short answer. no. i would say that it's a great question because it's so much of what radio has been for such a long time. i thought it was very interesting what mr. dickey said in that there is so much more that you talk about if you're at a cocktail party, if you're just talking to your friends, at the water fountain, that radio can and should be. and i'm very happy to see that there is so much more that radio is becoming. and as the paradigm changes, we are doing a lot better with much more information coming in. we have much more opportunity to talk about so many different things on so many different platforms. i don't think the left-right thing is going to -- is the future of talk -- even though i'm on the left. i

alan colmes host of nationally syndicated "alan colmes radio show" on fox news radio and., keystone pipeline, you have to speak out on this one way or the other. finally is opposed to it. what are your thoughts? >> i guess my first thought that settles the question whether hillary presidency would be the second coming of bill clinton's presidency or barack obama's. we're not going to see bill clinton type of presidency again is you said this before. almost more like what bernie sanders would do than what barack obama would do? >> that's the point. hillary is under tremendous pressure from bernie sanders and left. the group very upset about this is the private unions, the unions thought it was going to get those jobs at the keystone pipeline was going to be built. i think those votes are no now going to be in play. joe biden, if he gets into it will not come out in favor of keystone. they thought there might be some union support for joe biden. i think those people now are up for grabs and could go over the republicans. david: michael, the whole question whether she will ma

alan colmes, is that a vote in favor of joe biden on the screen?ot in terms of going to the polls but it doesn't mean a lot in terms of who you vote for president. it shows the goodwill that joe biden has right now. melissa: yeah, we don't need an honest and trustworthy president. thanks, you guys. >> a shooting causing an evacuation of washington's union station. the big train station off capitol hill, about an eighth of a mile from the capitol. shots fired by a security guard at a man who allegedly stabbed his girlfriend. police let folks back into the major commuting hub and said there was no active shooting situation, it was scary, the female stabbing victim and the male suspect are currently being treated. >>> an isis-supporting online troll put behind bars. detailed on a lone wolf planned attack that the fbi stopped in the nick of time. >>> new warnings from top officials 14 years after 9/11. we're any safer than we were then? the panel weighing in next. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes f

leland: joining us now, alan colmes, host of the alan colmes show, and tammy bruce, radio talk show host a fox news contributor. dÉjÀ vu all over again. one week later than when we talked about this topic, and we still haven't heard anything from the president. >> i don't know if he doesn't dance to somebody else's tune, and if he doesn't say the right thing about x, he's a terrible guy. he passed and signed a few months ago a blue alert law hutch like an amber alert that tracks those who go after police and hurt police and tries to -- leland: so -- >> he's been good to police and doesn't get credit for it. leland: if if he's been so good to police, why are they so upset with him? >> he's talked about the courage of police officers speaking at a memorial for peace officers a couple months ago, he talked about courage -- i don't think he gets credit. leland: is that enough, tammy? >> well, look, i don't think it's a good legacy when you can claim you set up a new amber alert for law enforcement in this country because they're under the attack. any more than europe can take kudos for allow

alan colmes, host of "alan colmes radio show," fox news contributor.eputy assistant to president george w. bush. gentlemen, good day to both of you. brad, let me start. do you think this is over or is it just the first chapter? is she likely to go back behind bars? >> the ball is in kim davis's court. if she goes back to work, now she has been accommodated where her deputies can fill in for her, is she going to accept that? remember only one county clerk in that jurisdiction elected by the people. if she claims now that she won't even tolerate her signature being on marriage licenses granted by her deputies, then we'll take this to a whole new level. she should have never gone to jail in first place. she made her a martyr for extremists. this should have been accommodated, if could be accommodated without that. it is up to kim to decide whether she accepts accommodation or fight it. bill: to be clear to our viewers, she wants her name off the state certificates. >> yeah. bill: that could take some time, frankly before that happens. alan, go. >> she oug

alan colmes, host of alan colmes show.ive vice president of jamestown associates. matt welch, "reason" magazine editor-in-chief join me now. matt, this is 18 trillion on top of $22 trillion the government spend trying to get rid of poverty for the great society program since 1965. >> 18 trillion is speculative. we do know 18 trillion number is real which is the national debt. david: this would double the national debt. >> bernie sanders lives in wish fulfillment zone that national debt doesn't matter. wants to increase in social security. there is no problem with long term entitlement spending there. is a problem as crazy democrats like bill clinton pointed out in the past right now. i'm being sarcastic as you can imagine. right now democrats are believing that no longer something that needs to be reformed. david: tony, one thing that sanders does agree on that he would increase tax revenue by $6.5 trillion. as though check off a square box, say, okay, now we have the 6 1/2 trillion more. people tend to move cash, even if

alan colmes -- >> there'll be more next week. jon: thank you both. jenna.g story we've been watching, jon, closely on "happening now." a woman and her boyfriend facing a judge for the very first time in the death of the little girl known as baby doe. police charge michael mccarthy with the murder of 2-year-old bella bond. her mother, roh shell bond, is charged with being accessory after the fact to murder. molly line is live outside the courthouse in massachusetts as she joins us with the latest. molly? >> reporter: well, jenna, as prosecutors reveal new details, the courtroom was absolutely packed. we heard some new details about the killing of this little girl and also the dangerous people who were in her life. her mother accused of helping to cover the crime, her mother's boyfriend now faced with murder charges. the victim was not yet 3 years old when her lifeless body was found in a trash bag on a beach in late june. she was finally identified last week. her name was bella bobbled. her mother -- bond. her mother's boyfriend stood slack-jawed, his arm ba

martha: alan colmes is the host of the alan colmes show. and brad blakeman. they are competing against each other so he's defining himself. he's saying here is why i'm different. so do they come after him tonight? and who in particular? >> i don't think they come after him. this is trump's venue that doesn't suit his model. it's not 20,000 screaming fans like you had in the first debate. this is a pointed debate of serious foreign policy. domestic policy. trump is going to be out of his atmosphere. if he tries the attack or tries to say the questions aren't fair, i don't think he's going to get very far. about middle east leaders and the leader of isis, i imagine he has beefed up on some of those details. but one of the big questions for voters. though there is a lot of support for him among potential voters, this one is interesting. whether he's qualified to be president. it comes from the abc news "washington post" poll. 56% of all the people asked said he's not qualified to be president. we look at the independents. it's over 60%. so you have to prove to t

i can't help but think alan colmes to be upset.looking than he is lib lerl xanl. that's done buns when tonight the cia hired a man called the seeker. >> july 20th, 17999 the secret was to close in on trevor outside of dallas, texas. he refused to go quietly and nearly bleaks his leg. >> he needs to learn a thing or two about how to fall and not get hurt. i could ask asked him if he would have only asked. >> he steals an suv and pushes it to the limit. he decides to shake when he should have baked. disaster strikes. or did it? >> if he lost an eye, leg or even an arm it wouldn't have been such a big deal. we can all be reconstructed. >> was it the end of the line for trevor? or was it much more incredible? what happened next would change everything forever. >> colt receivers and steve austin looks great. we have the hard night -- this is a chance to do something right. why do so many people choose aleve? it's the brand more doctors recommend for minor arthritis pain. plus, just two aleve can last all day. you'd need 6 tylenol arthri

. >> alan colmes? >> now i'm thinking about obama. the best interview i ever did.nterview i did which was a leper, a guy with leprosy. 10, 15 years ago. >> did he catch -- >> no, what a great guy. he caught it from armadillo feces. >> doesn't everybody. >> that was really good. >> great question, we'll go this way, dana, which candidate would you choose to run their campaign and why? >> meaning i would run their campaign? >> yes. >> i don't want to run the campaign. this is the question? out of the candidates we have? >> pick a candidate. >> i don't know. whoever runs against corbyn in the uk. >> that's a switchy answer. >> i would love to help mr. trump out with his wall. many times we've talked about there is a way to get mexico to pay for the wall. it took me 30 seconds to do it here. it would work. >> did he get back to you? >> no. >> it would take 30 seconds for mexico to sell it. >> it would cost more for them to traps port it to japan. >> i would like to represent trump as his spokesman. >> you could use the money for whatever you want. >> lunning a campaign

>> we have mercedes schlapp, callan combs, host of the "alan colmes radio show" and rich louer i hostview" editor. he won't make any comments about bodily parts. we'll get into that later. mercedes, first to you, you don't, i do, remember 1980 when the teamsters came out to endorse ronald reagan. it was huge back in 1980. but things have changed. i wonder if it means as much now as it did back then? what do you think? >> i think unions play important role in elections. they have organizational structure that really compete well in these elections this. is why the democrats want them. they to out there. they fet votes. they take people to the polls. they're very active. let's take the steam sisters. 1.4 million members that they have. david: they're tough. >> republican party, especially with governor walker he was anti-union, this is quite a shift from a donald trump who we know worked with unions in the past. david: alan, we should emphasize they haven't said they're not going to endorse hillary clinton. >> right. david: however, hillary's rejection of keystone pipeline played a role
