todd starnes, fox news radio, alan colmes, host of alan colmes show.y, let me read you a bit of a pledge to america that republicans put out five years ago. they said arrogant and out of touch government of self-appointed elites enact laws without accepting or requesting input of the many. isn't that exactly what this deal was? >> that is precisely what we saw. john boehner on the way out, meeting with harry reid and pell pell and mitch mcconnell. they did this behind closed doors. it was sprung on the house. you guys vote on this tomorrow. i think it is so idiotic because what republicans have is power of purse only have if you hang on to the purse. they have given obama the purse. in fact you can keep it until you leave office and until march 2017. david: todd, combine this, we have president who uses executive orders time and time again in ways that cost taxpayers billions of dollars. this is essentially a blake check for the president, isn't it? >> certainly is, compliments of speaker boehner who said he would clean out the barn but left behind a b

let's bring in the media panel today, alan colmes, host of "the alan colmes show," nationally syndicated by fox news radio. tammy bruce, a radio talk show host and fox news contributor. alan, can you get enough of the joe biden guessing game? >> i understand why it's a big issue in the media because it would really change the dynamic of the race if he jumps in. you have a big conflict on the democratic side. totally changes dynamic. you know, that's why it is such a big story. not knowing, we don't know what the field is going to be yet. if someone jump in this possibly late, i mean, will he get into the debate? could he do it before the debate, after the debate? this is a big issue for a lot of people. jon: does it indicate some media boredom or dissatisfaction with the democraticside? >> i don't know. i never thought as joe biden being mr. excitement. however, look, if you don't talk about joe biden you have to talk about hillary clinton. then it is prelude. >> or donald trump. >> prelude to the "orange is the new black." it is helpful. then they can look, everybody likes this guy. thi

. >> alan colmes is host of the alan colmes show.is the author of how to be right. we begin with rubio versus clinton. it's interesting that they come out and try to fact check it. it wasn't very long ago that the same person gave susan rice the two pinocchios on if it was preplanned or not. >> it keeps hillary from being impregnated with scandal. this was a great thing for rubio. he pulled himself out of the pack. now he's on the same level as hillary, and he's human and she is like a reanimated doll from a japanese horror film from the 197s 0s. i love her. marco is human. he was right to step up. he did what mitch should have done to obama in the debate. >> that's the thing. it's been such a huge debate about what they knew and when they knew it, and why is not entitled to the opinion that she lied. >> it's a cheap applause line. >> even glen kes ler couldn't prove it wasn't true. >> he did. >> no. his issue was the intelligence in his view was confusing that you couldn't prove that it was a lie. >> what he did was he quoted a numb

joining us now, alan colmes, host of the of the alan colmes show, nationally syndicated by fox news radioruce, from the tammy bruce radio show and. >> happy italian day. jon: it is as well. the parade will roll by our building shortly. i talked about this with bret baier. president says national security was never compromised. how does he know? >> that is interesting unless he has seen every single email. we know there were 400 classified emails that wint out. we know sidney blumenthal sent an email revealed the name of a cia asset in the system. that was a cia asset in libya of all places. what we don't know did that have any repercussions? who was seeing that? was that preor post-september 11th, 2012? these are all kinds of issues. similar to when president obama, i can tell alan is agreeing with everything i'm saying, this is similar to him saying there wasn't a smidgen in the corruption in the irs situation. he is partisan hack but we already know that. jon: alan, your response. >> nobody cares. they can beat the drum of about hillary's emails to kingdom come. average person is worrie

alan colmes, host of "the alan colmes show" on fox news radio. roginsky, former political advisor to senator frank lautenberg. fox news contributor. julie, i mean, this is new york city! i mean other being in like berkeley, california, we pretty much have all the democrats out in the street. they have got no idea who is in this race is it meaningful. >> no respect for jim webb metric system program? what is going on, people on the street not recognizing trying to dot metric system. melissa: lincoln chafee. >> excuse me, you're right. it is lincoln chafee. there you go. >> no, no, it is lincoln chafee. it is sad. nobody knew who carly fiorina was six months ago either. today after great debate people know who she is. melissa: who will pop out? >> i think these guys are counting on that. >> whoever speaks will -- probably a tightening. people find out who jim webb is and lincoln chafee is. melissa: no, they won't. >> couple people following but you know. melissa: funny how much the conversation has changed, at beginning it was like hillary clinton

martha: alan colmes is the host of the alan colmes radio show.ng it he was maybe just a tad too authentic. brad, what do you think? >> bernie sander is the donald trump of the democrats. he speaks his mind unfiltered. democrats like it. but at the end of the day it's pretty clear hillary stood her ground. she to me is the most likely nominee but for joe biden entering the race. so emails may not be over as far as the public its concerned. even though the democrat wish it to be. martha: hillary looked happy, i think she looked genuinely surprise and said enough with the damn emails. it put a lid open that subject for last night. but did it put a lid on it forever. there are questions that could have been pushed harder like what about the f.b.i. investigation. >> i agree with everything that's been said here so you don't need me here today. damn emails trending on twitter. hillary clinton who would barely mention bernie sanders' name had that moment where she shook his hand. while bernie sanders said this may not be good politic, it was great polit

i can't help but think alan colmes to be upset.h better 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. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. a oo what were the biggest story of the week? diane has been begging me to do a report on it so take

alan colmes, host alan colmes show and brad blakeman, who's getting the better of this, brad? trump is just lap can the field right now. -- he's just lapping the field right now. >> i think trump is. trump's diversion is jeb's distraction. what does trump do? he says of course he's going to stick up for his brother. jeb should be talking about the issues. he should dismiss trump. everybody knows who has common sense about them and some experience. i lost my nephew and i was also a member of the president's senior staff. the president did everything possible to secure our nation. we got hit and afterwards he made us safer by reorganizing government. first sa and the patriot act. bill: what's the harm in engaging? >> trump hit jeb at his most vulnerable point, his brother and 9/11. when jeb tweeted out we were attacked and he kept us safe. but jeb is a much more serious policy person where trump is demagoguing where he got and said obama is going to take your guns. he's not a serious policy person, jeb is. that's the difference between the two candidates. here was trump's explan

jon: alan colmes and tammy bruce.what do you think, is bernie sanders going after hillary clinton? >> debating on the issue, that's what they should be doing, unlike the republican party where ben carson is being attacked for his religion by donald trump. they are flating sand box and -- they are playing in the snd box and bernie sanders and hillary clinton are having a conversation on the issue. on the republican side they are not talking about real issues. >> i think he's doing what he should be doing. hillary clinton called him a sexist. anyone who challenges her is a sexist. but bernie sanders gave up the presidency during the debate when he said we are tired of hearing with your emails. hillary admit it's a legitimate issue. now the media is make it appear as though she has competition. and secondly they like the fight. because otherwise why would you new to hear about the democrats? there is no enthusiasm. you are not jonessing in here. there is really just kind of reinforced the fact this is a non-starter. >> t

onwere alan colmes and tammy bruce, welcome. it was a fiery sunday on the morning chat shows.gowdy defending his work. elijah cummings the ranking member from the democratic side sent out a blistering letter saying this all about politics. reporter: cummings is blaming gowdy for redacting information to make her look bad. gowdy is saying the executive branch did the. democrats are saying he did it. seven committees have exonerated hillary clinton. they have met for 17 months. they had a wine club and gun-buying club and i think they are clobbering hillary clinton over the head. that seems to be their focus contrary to what gowdy said on the sunday morning talk show. >>'s so strange. i completely disagree. there is one person who knows exactly what the committee will find and that's hillary clinton. and she has to work to discredit that committee because she knows what the end result will be. maybe obama also knows what the end result will be. but if this has nothing to do about anything, then hillary has nothing to worry about. but she has to make it about her, even though the

i mean alan colmes, i think, would have to admit that the foreign policy is a mess.colonel peters has made that argument, that the generals in the pentagon, the people who run the military services in this country are culpable. because they know the obama administration's policies are weakening the nation, yet, they have not said anything, haven't resigned, haven't read the, put up the red flags for the public, so you can milwaukee an argument that generals are colluding with the president in the weakening of this country. >> i think you have generals, bill, who have to walk a very fine line. let me try to define. this you have generals who recognize they have to protect the troops, protect the planning so that no matter what we have the military capability that's available to the civilian leadership. the problem is, you would agree with me on this, bill. the civilian leadership. it's the panettas, it's it the frankly the ash carters. who are the ones simply not pushing as hard as they should against the white house. >> look, panetta laid it out. no matter what he sa

martha: alan colmes and brad blakeman, he has every right to do that, does he not, alan? >> absolutely. and the president has a right to address the community. he was criticized for not going to paris or ferguson, now he's being cite sized for going to owesburg. martha: what does he want to accomplish? >> i think he wants to show support and he did say, this is a political issue. i know that's quite controversial. but also there is politicalization on the other side. both sides are politicizing it because that's what it is. martha: here is a piece of what the president said after this shooting. >> we spent over a trillion dollars and countless laws and devote various agencies to preventing terrorist attacks on our soil and rightfully so. yet we have a congress that explicitly blocks us from even collecting data on how we could potentially reduce gun deaths. how can that be? martha: the president, brad, wants more money, more attention, more laws. he seems to believe that that would prevent those kind of atrocities from happening in the future. your thoughts. >> he hasn't

and alan colmes. we have not coughed a candidate like donald trump. that tells me he wants to win. he has fire in his belly. it's good to be upset that you are in second place and it's good to get out there and fight to turn thing around. >> but it's all about him and winning. he's playing the game of king of the hill. and tonight he won't be in the center square. it's dr. carson. desperation for a vote. please vote for me but not giving a reason why. how that's going to play tonight. what donald trump will show up tonight as well as what jeb bush will show up tonight. he has an opportunity to actually rise. so this is a great opportunity for them. let's see what happens. martha: let's take a look at the iowa polls. how much in the end historically does iowa matter. you see carson as 29%. you see trump at 20%. let's show the other two. in new hampshire and south carolina he's quite far ahead. if you take both of those, will iowa matter? >> generally speaking iowa has not always been predictive. simply because you win iowa, it's not representative of the rest of the country. mostly
