she was running against barbara boxer. she lost in a landslide, during the run she was really horrible about barbara boxer's looks. she attacked her on her looks. and attacked meg whitman on her look. there is a big article about it. i just read that. somebody sent it to me. carli is playing double-standard. playing the game herself. nicole: most the gop candidates including trump and fiorina will be in greenville, south carolina tonight for a heritage action forum, nicole. nicole: don't forget the trump stuff, hats, shirts flying off the shelves. get yours fast. lauren: i have two. should have brought them. nicole: fed keeping interest rates near zero citing inflation. former texas congressman ron paul on fox business yesterday strongly criticized the fed decision. >> if you have a housing bubble or bond bubble or student debt skyrocketing there is still a lot of malinvestment. that to us is inflation and distortion of the economy. nicole: well he has to have a chat with janet yellen. meanwhile during wednesday night's de

. >> when people learn what she did, she lost to barbara boxer in a landslide.he was leading that race. it was a race that should have been won by the republicans and she got absolutely decimated. >> why is she surging now? >> she has a good line of pitter patter. if you listen to her speaking she says the same thing over and over and over. she says the same thing over and over. a lot of the people didn't hear it in the debate. it is almost robotic. john: how big a threat does carly fiorina pose to donald trump? >> let's see how much money she can raise. looking at the field, not just her poll standing but how she matches up with donald trump, and she appears to be unafraid of him. i think she poses almost as big a threat as anybody else. or as much as anybody else. john: he has a strong argument to make. and others who want to criticize her tenure on hp, they have strong cases to make. barbara boxer made that case against the senate race to no doubt carly fiorina is the non-populist, non-native of business experience. that gives her an inroad with a certain est

she was running against barbara boxer. lost in a landslide but during the run she was really horrible about barbara boxer's looks. and she attacked her on her looks. and will is, she attacked meg whitman on her look. and there's a big article about it. so i just read that. somebody just sent it to me. carly is playing the double stap dard. she's playing the game herself but she attacked meg whitman and barbara boxer who she ran against for the u.s. senate in california and probably a race she should have won and she lost. >> one of the lines last night that resonated very well with voters had to do with you saying, hey, we're ignoring e i north korea and this mainian that already has a nuclear weapon. i'm have something a hard time understanding why everybody on that stage wouldn't rip up this iranian deal because i defy anybody to tell me one thing we won in that deal. what would you do with those countries. >> first, the iranian deal is one of the worst drawn contracts i've ever seen. fact that we don't even get our pris

when barbara boxer played that ad, her lead grew. >> yeah. you know, i find it very rich. barbara boxer, hillary clinton, all the democrats who are attacking me, they've never created a job. they've never saved a job. and their policies destroy jobs including mrs. clinton's latest position on keystone pipeline. look, i have run to problems all my life. it's how you go from secretary to ceo. and i think people are looking far president who will run to the problems that this nation faces. yes, i led h.p. through a very difficult time. the nasdaq dropped 80%. some of our strongest competitors went out of business all together, taking every job with them. we saved 80,000 jobs. we went on to grow to 150,000 jobs. we quadrupled the growth rate of the company, quadrupled the cash flow of the company, tripled the rate of innovation of the company, and went from lagging behind to leading in every single product and every single market. i will run on that record all day long. >> you don't think it will be a liability. at the end of the day, the jobs you're talking about that grew an

>> the media got on to it late in the campaign, thanks to barbara boxer and her team raising them. but to tell you the truth, among intimate friends here, that ad was too tepid. it was too light. it was too mild. there's so much more that could have been brought across in that campaign. many things are documented. she would hire platoons that would question her and challenging her own board members. it's a leadership style much more akin to russia and china than public office here but also her own strategic flip-flops are so confusing. before she went after compact computer she announced was the opposite strategy what she wanted. meg whitman who was a fantastic ceo of hp. had to sell off the final vestiges of that in the final weeks. >> yeah, but meg whitman just laid off 30,000 people. by that standard, you could be making the same comments about meg whitman. >> these aren't people that meg whitman hired and fired. this is the legacy of carly fiorina. this was compact stuff they should never have bought. meg is trying to get hp back to where they were and it's really a shame. yeah

this is something that she could not survive back in 2010 in her race for senate against barbara boxerve those attacks then? >> remember, she was running for united states senate against a very popular, powerful incumbent, barbara boxer. california is a deep blue state. so, while those attacks maybe resonated with general election voters, the fact is they tried those attacks in a very competitive republican primary and they didn't -- they didn't work at all. so i think over the long haul people will make those judgments about carly's business record and they're going to compare them and put them in contrast to other candidates and some of the problems that they have in their background, a record they have to defend. >> well, but look f she's running as a ceo, and that's her main basis of experience, there is a lot of criticism on that experience. as you say, i mean, you were part of 2010. when barbara boxer started running those ads, fiorina was essentially tied before that and then her numbers plummeted. does she have a way to respond to the fact that profitability, you know, declined

that was carly fiorina debating barbara boxer of california during their hard fought 2010 u.s. ntest. senator boxer joins me right now. i'm a big fan of yours. tell me what you think about tonight. you beat her and here she is going for president. >> everybody has a right to follow their dreams but nobody has a right to win without proving that they really care about people. and the reason i was able to beat her by really a landslide in a year that was terrible for democrats was because of her record. she had laid off tens of thousands of workers. she pocketed millions of dollars in a golden parachute, was fired from hewlett-packard. she had been fired before that. the people who she stepped on cut commercials for me, some were republicans, some were democrats and some were independents and said they were so mistreated. she actually had them training their replacements, people coming from abroad. so it was a pretty awful record that she had. plus what is incredible is when she was the ceo of hewlett-packard they were selling printers to iran and there was an executive order that

i'll talk about it with barbara boxer. plus a lester holt exclusive, an emotional interview with survivors of the charleston massacre. >>> and the hero pilot who saved lives in las vegas. >>> and is siri getting a little bit smarter? big news from apple. i'm richard louie. we'll start this hour with the huge fight surrounding the iran nuclear deal. this deal is dominating the political world. late today, a big tea party rally against the deal wrapped up at the capital and some major conservatives voices spoke out, including ted cruz, donald trump, and sarah palin. take a listen. >> this iranian nuclear deal is catastrophic. >> they rip us off, they take our money, they make us look like fools. we will have so much winning if i get elected that you may get bored with winning. >> only in an orwellian-obama world, full of sprinkly fairy dust, blown from atop his unicorn, as he's peeking through a really pretty pink kaleidoscope, would he ever see victory or safety for america or israel in this treaty. >> but 42 senate democra

. >> carly fiorina told supporters after chemotherapy barbara boxer is not that scary anymore. that is a fact. >> it was her chemotherapy? i that that is the meanest thing to say to any cancer survivor. >> let's get back to the campaign history. she defeated fellow republicans in the senate primary after having this advertisement. >> authored by a career politician to put this into a fiscal mess in the first place fact or fiction?? it is fiction and. it she did that but it was done from a guy from odd advertisements. >> don't worry have credit. kennedy: number six while working on the presidential campaign jokingly you break damaging sarah palin to read friendly arm wrestling match until she was asked to stop. you all got that wrong. [laughter] >> you just made that up? [laughter] >> there are still tied for the lead. >> her official presidential campaign slogan is let's regroup to america? it is fiction. it is really possibilities with real leadership. >> that is way better. >> number eight while still trying to haying on curve a fear read and had a fortune 50 company and the

barbara boxer attacked carly fiorina. we attacked boxer.re are more democrats in this state than republicans. carly ran a good race, a competitive race. at the end we got overwhelmed by democratic turnout in a handful of counties in california that gave box their margin of victory. >> when you compare a senate race and obviously a presidential race, when you talk about attack ads, it's going to be in multiples more she could face. don't you think the attacks are only going to get worse now that she is running for president? >> well, she is running for president in republican primaries. her opponents, she had a competitive primary and won by a substantial margin. those attacks were tried in the primary among republican voters and they largely fell on deaf ears. >> let me ask you, when you look at some of the things, this is what the folks attacking her will point out. donald trump will point it out, all the other candidates will point out, profits, profits, revenue declined 40% during her six years at ceo. stock price fell 45%, nasdaq fell 2

business record, why was she in effect fired from that job, why did she then lose a race against barbara boxer. these are fair questions. they're hard questions. but they're fair questions. how does she answer those as her popularity rises? >> well, carly has been absolutely fearless as you know about taking on the status quo and certainly she did that when she challenged barbara boxer, who is one of the ultimate political insider, in a very challenging state, certainly california -- carly fiorina clearly doesn't shirk away from a challenge. but in terms of her career at hp, she has said that she is happy to and proud to talk about her record there. she doubled the psi of the company. she quadrupled their cash flow. she tripled their -- >> company figure is very misleading because she presided over a merger and it wasn't that she grew the profits of the company. that doubling took place because she merged with another company and that merger has been seen years later as one of the biggest failures in the business world in 500 years. >> i challenge your premise because tom perkins, who as you k

barbara boxer ran brutal commercials against her that were very effective.gine democrats doing the same thing if in fact she becomes the nominee. >> and there it will revolve around two things. democrats won't really go after her for a compact merger but two things. >> layoffs. >> layoffs and made a boat load of money for an unsuccessful run. those are two things they are focused on. >> i think the commercial that i remember was focussing on the layoffs and got this money and bought a yacht and went off into the sunset. >> that's going to be red meat for the democrats. it's worth pointing out just for the record by the way, that donald trump's business record isn't that grout. she's right about bankruptcies. >> not personal bankruptcy but business. >> and he basically runs a company where he licenses names and doesn't build anything anymore. >> he gets a lot of money from licensing his name to buildings and projects, joe, good to have you on the program. >> thanks. >> dana bash, gloria berger, as well. >>> what the candidates said without uttering a single w

in other words, making a nasty crack about barbara boxer's physical appearance.he world didn't end. no one brought that up. i suggest it wasn't that big of a deal. if it's a big deal for donald trump now, it was a big deal for carly fiorina then. this goes right to the heart of the real problem here and that cnn poll as i said to s.e. this morning, 91% of the women in that poll think the economy is either the biggest issue or the next biggest issue. that's what they're concerned about. they're not concerned about this and donald trump went up 13 points with women in that poll after the whole megyn kelly incident. >> s.e., go ahead and quickly respond. >> i think you're right that women are concerned about jobs, in which case we should be talking about scott walker talking unemployment in half in wisconsin. carly fiorina holding on to jobs at hewlett-packard. other records on jobs instead of donald trump and what he thinks of ben carson's faith or carly fiorina's face. but that's not what he actually wants us to talk about. he wants to have these media moments so

barbara boxer -- it could kill her now. mark: but she is totally intellectually invested. she gets a case to make -- her business record is not as bad as they say but not as good as she said. this is not something to be blindsided by. it puts her in a different position than some of the candidates who come seemingly out of nowhere. that performance was strong in her operation was just big enough to take a fair amount of advantage. hashtags and trends are all good, but the real barometer now for any candidate is does it improve their standing in key states in national polls? that is how you raise money and leverage a good debate performance. john, county of think that people who did well last night, starting with carly fiorina, and also marco rubio, chris christie -- how do you think -- what do you think the likelihood as they will move up in the polls? john: i think carly is likely to get a big bump. she didn't see a big bump as many candidates did with her announcement. this was effectively her announcement so she could get a decent rise. i have skeptical about whether ch

senator barbara boxer of california just called for the benghazi committee to be disbanded.hould it be disbanded? >> look, when i was asked to serve on the committee, i was given a binder of the eight independent investigations that were done on a bipartisan basis in both the house, the senate, and an independent commission, and i read through each one of those reports with a fine-tooth comb, looking at the witness testimony and the evidence. and there was nothing in those documents that caused me to come to any conclusion other than, it was unexpected. were there failures in security that in hindsight maybe we should have beefed up? certainly. but the people that responded, responded appropriately at the time with the information they had at the time. and tragically, four americans lost their lives. but all these fantastical conspiracy theories, there's been no evidence uncovered in the 72 weeks this committee has been in existence, the longest-running investigation ever, that proves anything to the contrary. so it's very disingenuous to tell families, we're going to get an

. >> joining me now is the california senator, barbara boxer. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> there are so many issues to unpack here, but first of all, the big question that they've been asking, in part, is that planned parenthood does not provide mammograms. could you help us better understand the fact that breast exams and then referrals to other clinics that then do mammograms when needed, is the protocol right now? >> of course. let me just say this, when i go to my ob-gyn for my yearly checkup, they'll do a breast exam, and then they will suggest, if it is required, that i go and have a mammogram. they give me a prescription for a mammogram. this is the way we do it in america. andrea, this is a witch hunt. this is a witch hunt against an organization that is very popular in this country, that helps almost 3 million women and men, that saved lives. it's a witch hunt because the people who were conducting it want to make abortion illegal. even though planned parenthood does not use one cent of federal money for that, that's wh

barbara boxer -- it could kill her now. she has to get rid of it -- ready for that.ark: but she is totally intellectually invested. she gets a case to make -- her business record is not as bad as they say but not as good as she says. this is not something to be blindsided by any facts that come up about what she did. it puts her in a different position than some of the candidates who come seemingly out of nowhere. that performance was strong and her operation was just big enough to take a fair amount of advantage. now, hashtags and vines and trends are all good, but the real barometer now for any candidate who has a strong debate performance is, does it improve their standing in key states in national polls? that is how you raise money and leverage a good debate performance. often, someone will have a great debate departments -- performance and nothing will happen. john, how do you think the people who did well last night, starting with carly fiorina, and also marco rubio, chris christie -- what do you think the likelihood is that they will move up in the polls? step

two disaster, now she's running for president but of course she lost in landslide to barbara boxer. you know, to be honest with you, the problem we have we're so politically correct that we captain get out of our way. people make statements that all of a sudden the statements -- i'm only talking about her per zone. that she hasn't done a good job in, you could call it the private sector. the companies, take a look at the record, look at the yale law school, top man at yale law school came out with a raging report. she's one of the worst executives in his memory in history running the company. well, you know what, maybe she is isn't. but can we really take a chance. in my case, i made over $10 billion net, net, net, i've created a tremendous company. i have some of the greatest assets in the world and to be honest with you that's the kind of mindset -- i'm not saying that to brag i'm saying that's the mindset that our country needs. >> dickerson: mr. trump, unfortunately we're out of time thanks for being with us. >> thank you very much. dickerson: all right. take a closer look at th
