it's not about bill clinton it's the war on women record. herself was part of that campaign to try to silence women. this is about hillary clinton. but, more importantly, all she has is to run as a woman. she is going to run and play the victim frankly women aren't buying it. she is statistically tied. she is not happy this discussion is up. at the end of the day women are going to be veeght for economic prosperity and keep radical islamic extremism out of the country. hillary clinton has done nothing to make things worse. >> when trump said he was quote troubled by the clinton presidency. was it the peace or prosperity that troubled him? 2 million jobs? economic growth or the balanced budget that troubled him about the bill clinton presidency which i bet you there are tens of millions of people who don't really know who were too young at the time if they want' to fight that time again what economic growth looks like is exhibit a is the bill clinton presidency. >> you are absolutely right. because because that was speaker newt gingrich that p

they generally probably don't like bill clinton. if you're hillary clinton, seems to me you have to think that you bring bill clinton along and so you bring bill clinton's past along, and indeed the whole bill and hillary clinton past along. that's been litigated and relitigated. i can't imagine she is unprepared to litigate it again. >> indeed. trump is not the first republican to try this gambit, to try to rile up the republican base by attacking bill clinton. earlier senator rand paul repeatedly took swipes at the former president. >> he took advantage of a girl that was 20 years old and an intern in his office. there is no excuse for that. that is predatory behavior. >> sexual predator basically. repetiti repetitive. >> anybody who wants to raise money for clinton should give the money back. >> republican lead er got in on the attack. i'm remembering if republicans are wedded to the '90s version they can't get off this page. >> there is no reason for them to get off this page. this is the double-edged sword that is the clinton na

what do you make of the move of donald trump going after bill clintoned hard. >> -- bill clinton hard. >> well what else do you expect? he goes after everyone until he gets what he wants. >> this is special considering it's a topic others are leaving off limits. >> he ree viving the clinton -- reviving the client wars, and essentially saying we'll go back to the '90s, and the clinton controversies. if we elect donald trump, i can assure you the controversies will never stop >>> do you feel this underscores a larger issue that bill clinton's scandals could come back to haunt hillary clinton. >> remember, she was betrayed in the scandals. she didn't perpetrate them. donald trump said bill clinton had a penchant for sexism. something she accused trump of. she poked this. most think bill clinton had a penchant for sex, not sexism. he did well among the women voters, they re-elected him in 1996. the argument here that donald trump and supporters bring up is that hillary clinton was a victim. she stood by him. i want to read to you a quote from "the washington post" columnist, saying that b

you're not going to beat hillary clinton by attacking bill clinton. you're going to beat hillary clinton -- i'm going to beat hillary clinton by attacking her track record and her lack of trustworthiness. >> but the head of the democratic party has a warning against anybody who dares bring up things from the past. >> i dare that anyone would raise bill clinton as somehow a negative to their peril. every poll i've seen shows that if hillary clinton was a candidate tomorrow, she would be elected. >> kirsten, what do you make of it? fair game? a wise move? >> i don't think it's a wise move. he's very popular, and republicans didn't go after them maybe as much as trump is going after them, but with the impeachment hearings, they saw this backfire on them going after thhim on his womanizing. i don't think it will stop hillary clinton from becoming president. >> brian, you have the clipboard. how would call the plays? sdplz you we >> you were there, so you know better than anybody in this building. i will say this. i think that he effectively will take away

and it said, trump is right, bill clinton's sordid sexual history is fair game. let me quote you a bit. you write, "ordinarily, i would argue that the sins of the husband should not be visited ton wife. but hillary clinton has made two moves that lead me, gulp, to agree with trump on the fair game front. she is, smartly, using her husband as a campaign surrogate and simultaneously, correctly, calling trump sexist. these moves open a dangerous door. it should surprise no one that trump has barged right through it." so ruth, defend this column a little bit. because trump isn't saying that he would use president clinton's indiscretions in some substantiative way. he's essentially saying, if she says she's a woman, i'm going to get her, and if she attempts to say she would be good for women, i'm going to get her. i'm not quite understanding how you agree with that. >> well, i'm not actually agreeing with your characterization of what he's saying. and so let me back up. trump says that bill clinton's activities while he was president, and i would call this more of an e

talking about trump's hits on bill clinton. i want to read to you on the other side what a lot of people may agree with. columnist ruth marcus writes in the "washington post" saying clinton's past is indeed fair game. trump has smeared women because of their looks. clinton has preyed on them in a workplace setting where he was by far the superior. that is uncomfortable for clinton supporters but it is unavoidably true. does she have a fair point when it comes to that comparison? >> well, i don't think so. i think that people realize that hillary clinton is on the ballot, she has a record. she is her own person. she has a lot of accomplishments and a lot she wants to do for this country. >> but we will see him at campaign events in new hampshire, solo, on his own starting next week. >> i think she is bringing her husband much like barack obama brought in bill clinton because he has a reputation and a record for being first of all one of the most respected figures in the country, if not the world, but more importantly, one of the

that's the concern whenever bill clinton is speaking. but at the same time, look, there's nobody that can galvanize democratic voters the waybill clinton can. he can really rally the base in a way hillary clinton cannot. so he does fill that gap. despite all the baggage that comes with bill clinton, he did leave office very high approval ratings at a similar time in his presidency he had 57% approval rating, barack obama right now with 47%. it shows that he can still do a lot of good for the hillary clinton campaign. >> but for all of the decades now that we have been kind of witnessed to some clinton drama, we're talking about bill clinton now, it's mostly been with traditional politicians as his political foes. donald trump has no filter. we know that. >> it's like guerilla politics. >> exactly. he will say things about bill clinton if pushed that nobody else has been able to say, which will take this into a very, very different dimension that we dealt with in the '90s or even in 2008. and that clearly is, i think, what donald trump has

he said bill clinton will be fair game in 2016. trump because his presidency was considered to be troubled, to put it mildly, because of all the things she's mentioning to me. she actually said sexism." trump says: "so, you know, certainly bill clinton is not going to be the end-all in the campaign. he'll come under attack, not just from me, but come under attack from many other people." this morning -- on meet the press -- debbie wasserman schultz -- the chair of the democratic national committee -- said... that any candidate who raises bill clinton as a negative... does so at their own peril. when asked about bill clinton joining hillary on the campaign trail in january... bernie sanders gave this classic response. sanders says: "i'll tell you what - we are going to let my wife jane out and i think hillary is going to be in real, real trouble." 9:04:29 meanwhile -- ben carson's campaign is showing real signs of trouble. a few days ago -- carson said everything - including personnel changes - was on the table. he dialed it back a

in a interview yesterday trump brought up bill clinton's sex scandals. latest salvo in a flight that erupted last week when trump use ad yiddish slang word calling clinton beaten badly by barack obama in 2008. asked about that by "the des moines register" last week, clinton, charged it was not the first time that trump's quote, demonstrate ad penchant for sexism. clinton plans to send her husband out on the campaign trail for him early next month in key voting or early voting states. here is what trump told "fox & friends" on sunday. >> i think he is fair game because his presidency was really considered to be very troubled, to put it mildly because of all of the things that she is talking to me about. mentioned sexism. she is playing the women's card and it is like, give me a break. reporter: also on fox and friends one of trump's republican opponents, mike huckabee who was governor of arkansas before bill clinton, a governor of arkansas before bill clinton warned trump his strategy could backfire. huckabee praised clinton's political skills and he is po

>> well, i think bill clinton, i think bill clinton would win. i mean, donald trump may say things and be very sensationalistic and his poll ratings go up, but bill clinton's not running, and i think donald trump's got to remember that. and bill clinton is not hillary, he's her husband. i don't know about you, trish, but my husband and i sometimes have very different ideas and ways of doing things. bill clinton is also a brilliant speaker, a brilliant orator, and i think he's far more brilliant than don trump. so i think donald trump better be careful which bear he pokes, because i think clinton, bill clinton could definitely give him a run for his money. trish: i gotta tell you, they start pull anything the bill clinton stuff, it would be over, over, over, baby. i think that's sort of where trump wants to hit, brad, because you've got to say -- and i look at it this way as a woman, you know, look, who am i to judge people's personal lives, but at the same time, hillary clinton was willing to basically destroy any woman that her husband took adva

and that this campaign should not be about bill clinton. it's about her. on the other hand, i certainly think that while they may donald trump is now trading his fire on the clintons. every republican candidate that has been in his wake has been obliterated or badly damaged. let's not forget while the clinton camp wants us to believe we will beat donald trump big time in a general election, this will be a blow out election, this is somebody donald trump who might have crossover appeal with sort of reagan democrats and folks in the middle that the clinton camp may just not want to admit right now. >> i'm very curious. so, bill is going out to new hampshire next week and he is going to get out there on the the stump. i'm wondering, is he going to go positive hillary is the greatest i have ever seen is he going to go negative? remember, if he goes negative, who he nos what trump may say. who nos what is out there with bill. remember anything is fair game at that point right? are they worried about that. >> the vibe i'm getting so far is we are going to see the

when bill clinton hits the campaign trail next week, we'll see if they take the bait. mp is opening a new front in his war with the clintons. providing political scandals from two decades ago. >> there was certainly a lot of abuse of women and you look at whether it's monica lewinsky or paula jones or many of them, and that certainly will be fair game. >> thank you all so much. >> reporter: bill clinton ready to hit the campaign trail, trump said on the "today" show everything is fair game in his drought reach to women voters. even this. >> certainly if they play the women's card with respect to me, that will be fair game. >> reporter: in new hampshire today, hillary clinton ignored trump's latest taunt. her campaign issued a statement saying hillary clinton won't bullied or distracted by attacks he throws at her and former president clinton. the clintons, the picture of a big happy family seen here on a sunday stroll in new york. a stark reminder of how much time has passed since this tense moment at the height of the monica lewinsky scandal, raising the question of wh

that isn't to say bill clinton shouldn't be fair game. of course, he's fair game. of course, what he did was fair game. but it's not going to be to the advantage of republicans to make this argument about hillary clinton. remember, at the height of the lewinsky scandal, her approval rating was 65%. it's 45% today. if republicans want to critique hillary clinton, they ought to use her policies. they ought to buy a copy of her book "hard choices" and send it to everyone in the country where she boasts about bill clinton's foreign policy. not to do this where she can be sympathetic. it's a bit hypocritical for donald trump, which isn't anything new, but he befriended the clintons after these behaviors that he's now so troubled by. he was hanging around with the clintons, he was supporting them, he was supporting terry mccall, their close friend, in 2009. this is somebody who is close to the clintons and now we're supposed to believe he's deeply troubled by this behavior? >> does that line resonate with voters in the key swing states that will decide this election? kare

it is a week from no you that bill clinton will actually be out there. he will be prepared, the clinton campaign will be prepared and try to be disciplined here in terms of not -- >> do you see a super man versus batman here? are we going to see the two of them going at each other? >> i don't think bill clinton wants to engage at the level donald trump is engaging. i don't think they see any up side in doing that. that's the question with bill clinton. when he is on his game there is really for one better on the stump than him. what we saw in 2008, when someone gets under his skin, when the media gets under his skin, can he snap, he can say things he's otherwise not going to say, he can say things that will get his wife in hot water. so that's the question here. right now if bill clinton were responding on the fly to donald trump, maybe he'd say something. now he has a week to prepare for this. we'll see if donald trump says something that morning that sets him off. who knows. >> jeb bush you a super pac launching a new attack ad today taking aim at marco

so once again, bill clinton will be on the presidential campaign trail? that's absolutely true. hillary clinton is within single digits in some polls in iowa behind in new hampshire. bill clinton will try to mobilize the vote in a state where hillary clinton is in third, which is iowa. and he, by getting involved, i think could really jump-start her campaign. but what trump is saying, and candidly i think it's a change and a change in the wrong direction for the campaign, is that he's going to invoke the issues of bill clinton's personal life and issues that i personally dealt with when working for bill clinton in 1998 during the impeachment crisis. so this is a change in the campaign. and i would say arguably a change in the worst, for the worst. >> pat, trump seems to think he's got the gop nomination sewed up. what say you? >> well, let me say, first of all, i both agree and disagree with doug. i think if trump continues this track it's a mistake. but i tell you, sending a shot over hillary clinton's bow and to clinton himself, i, by the way, think cli

so that's why she deploys bill clinton because everybody likes him. ve forgotten the sexual escapades that were happening in the white house. and if hillary clinton can be shown as the one who enabled bill's sexual escapades and what to today's world looks like sexual predatortory behavior, then i think you have to look a second look at hillary clinton. even enabling sexual predators, that's creepy land . stuart: fascinating stuff. you're a foreign policy expert there, stay there. i've got a question for you in just a second. let's not ignore the markets, please, because we've got a rally. the dow industrials up 164 points. why is this happening? well, the price of oil is up. there's a relationship between the two. oil up, stocks up. that's helping exxon a little. that stock is up 39 cents but exxon's about 79. chevron is higher. that's at 91. again, not a big gain. about 1%. general electric, however, not all-time high but the highest in many, many years. it's back at 31. now, here's the stock of the day. what a performer. amazon. we didn't look at th

>> first of all, the more donald trump talks about bill clinton, the more democrats and independents are going to like hillary clinton. he's -- let's just remember that donald trump is actually not running against hillary clinton now. he's running for the republican nomination and doing this do throw red meat to conservative republicans who -- >> but isn't it everything fair game in a presidential campaign, hillary? >> no, everything is not fair game in a presidential election, although, well really, what fair game is seems to be decided by the voters, not by pundits and not by the media. the voters are going to reject it or not. we've seen candidates' spouses in other elections not be fair game. if donald trump wants to take on bill clinton, you know, i think voters will react just fine with that. i don't -- i just don't see this helping him over the long-term. >> sherry, they had to know that this would come up. >> sure. of course they knew this was going to come up at some point. i don't know if any other republican would have brought it up, internal not in a primary -- does. >> yo

he know, and certainly bill clinton will not be the handover campaign. k for many other people. nicole: trump also accused hillary clinton of playing the woman card after spotting his characterization of our 2008 primary loss. you've got to tune into the next spot is this republican debate earth day coming january 14th, right here on the fox business network. jo: new york representative peter king calling for increased surveillance of mosques in the united states. >> the fact is that is where the threat is coming from and we can say that 98%, 99% of the muslims in this country are good people. i am sparing him the first elected muslim on long island to a good friend of time. nothing against muslims. the fact is that is where the threat is coming from an we are kidding ourselves with the blind political correct this which makes no sense. jo: can come a member of the homeland security committee says tsarnaev was told to leave a local mosque following to outburst of members declined to warn authorities. they reported they had tsarnaev did nothing to lead suc

next in politics, has bill clinton heads to the campaign trail for his wife hillary clinton donald trump unleashes nasty comments about the former president's marital infidelity. what does the feud do to boston these campaigns. >>> remarkable new images of this ranging fire in southern california. you'll see a news crew in the thick of it. >> in the united states, not alone in dealing with parts or dealing with severe weather. this is from my home country england. many places there under a state of emergency right now, worst flooding they've seen in decade. thousands forced to leave their homes. we'll get you the latest after this short break. and i quit smoking with chantix. i don't know that i can put into words how happy i was when i quit. it's like losing some baggage, i don't have to carry it around with me anymore. chantix made it possible for me to quit smoking. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed moo

so once again, bill clinton will be on the presidential campaign trail? >> well, that's absolutely true. hillary clinton is within single digits in some polls in iowa behind in new hampshire. bill clinton will try to mobilize the vote in a state where hillary clinton is in third, which is iowa. and he, by getting involved, i think could really jump-start her campaign. but what trump is saying, and candidly i think it's a change and a change in the wrong direction for the campaign, is that he's going to invoke the issues of bill clinton's personal life and issues that i personally dealt with when working for bill clinton in 1998 during the impeachment crisis. so this is a change in the campaign. and i would say arguably a change in the worst, for the worst. >> pat, trump seems to think he's got the gop nomination sewed up. what say you? >> well, let me say, first of all, i both agree and disagree with doug. i think if trump continues this track it's a mistake. but i tell you, sending a shot over hillary clinton's bow and to clinton himself, i, by the way, t

is bill clinton sexist, or does he simply like women?had many high-powered women in his cabinet everything from ruth bader ginsburg. janet reno. secretary albright. let's go to you, hillary. >> i just want you to stop the presses there. i'm going to agree with donald trump. i think you have an open primary or you don't. people get to vote how they want to or they don't in an open primary. having said that, you know, to build my trump credibility here, i will say that this stuff about him attacking bill clinton for being sexist is completely ridiculous. there's no scenario on earth where bill clinton and donald trump can even be put in the same category when it comes to thoughtfulness around comments about women and how he behaves. and, you know, this just shows that donald trump will lash at anybody. because if you're going to take on the best politician in the world, you better watch out. the idea that bill clinton really would be kind of fair game for donald trump is, you know, for the clinton team, bring it on. they'll take that match

instead, he's sitting his sights on hillary and bill clinton and he says attacks on bill clinton areair game. >> i think he is fair game because his presidency was really considered to be very troubled, to put it mildly, because of all of the things that she's talking to me about. i mean, she's mentioning sexism. but we have to fight fairly, and she's playing the women's card and it's like, give me a break. >> thats a sharply different tone from trump back in 2008, when he showered the clintons with compliments. >> hillary's a great friend of mine. her husband is a great friend of mine. they're fantastic people. you know, the thing, they get a bad knock. she's a very nice woman. people think tough, tough and i guess she's tough, but she's a very nice woman and she's a very nice guy. we know all about the smarts, how smart they are, but they are good people. >> and the clinton campaign's reaction today was simple. they announced that the remember toer president will be campaigning for his wife in new hampshire one week from today. some critics of trump's tactics say that going after b

he didn't hit bill clinton. id, however, get online and slam clinton for campaigning for hillary back in 2008 saying he failed on the campaign trail back then. interestingly after the event he went into the overflow room to say hi to folks in the room there. he said he would spend money unleashing some of his fortune on january 4th he wants to take no chances between now and the iowa caucus and that's really interesting because so far donald trump has spent the least amount of money of any candidate about $217,000 which is a pittance. at this point he's been relying on earned media. his ad buy could change the dynamic. i had a chance to speak with some folks in the crowd to get a sense of why they came out listening to mr. trump and i want to you listen to one conversation i had from one couple. why did you come out and spend a night with mr. trump? >> he's the man. we want to see him. >> he's exciting. >> yeah exciting. >> he's saying a lot of things that no one else wants to say out loud which is important and

bill clinton is cereal abuser.ho suffered from bill clinton's behavior in addition women allegedly he abused. that was his wife. breaking news, bill clinton cheated on his wife. still the most popular politician in country. he is. numbers continue to be through the roof. don't forget nobody was more popular, hillary clinton was never more popular right after the monica lewinsky situation. people love her. melissa: she is right. bill clinton rehabilitated himself to many become iconic figure. people are out there who yell at television still and did all these things, once again here is donald trump putting a voice to the thing that a lot of people at home are thinking and other republicans aren't going to say. once again he is telling it like it is where others are not. >> he has morally compromising path to put it lightly. americans at home, do you want bill clinton in the white house around a bunch of young interns? no. i mean this in all sincerity. you really have to think about this. he is a liability. he may be

the "washington post" reported a few months ago before donald trump got in the race that bill clinton donald trump had this fascinating phone call where clinton not so much encouraged trump to run, but where he said, it would be interesting, donald, if you got into this race. you would have a big role to play in your own party. and i think that is a conversation that reflected their report and also their relationship, but that relationship is unraveling in this campaign. >> yeah, you wonder what bill clinton thinks of that phone call now, looking back at it. but what do you think, jamiel? he's in new hampshire last week, do you think he's going to go after him or stays away from this? >> i don't think bill clinton can resist the fight. i think it can help hillary, and try to make sure that those -- the fact that he's in new hampshire gets on the -- at the top of the headlines. if you got to bait trump and got to fight trump to do that, it might be worth it, actually. >> thank you, jamiel, robert, and eliana. we will be back tomorrow with more "mtp daily." and now erica hill picks up o

but now, trump has his sights set on former president bill clinton. good evening, everyone. kimberly guilfoyle in for greta van susteren. last week secretary clinton called out trump for what she called trump's penchant for sexism. but now trump is turning the tables saying it's actually former president bill clinton who has a history of sexism. and now that bill clinton will be out on the campaign trail for his wife, donald trump says bill clinton is fair game. >> i think he is fair game because his presidency was really considered to be very troubled, to put it mildly because of all of the things that she is talking to me with. >> bill clinton is fair game. evidence is the first thing listed on hillary clinton's resume. >> of course bill clinton is fair game he is a former president. >> would raise bill clinton as somehow a negative to their peril. >> because there are 4 0 new voters since bill clinton last appeared on the ballot. >> i think every poll i have ever seen shows if president clinton were a candidate tomorrow he would be reelected. >> she is playing the women's

but it's sought so much about bill clinton but the way hillary act when bill clinton was in office. she is shaming these women, attacking these women, ruining their lives then she is going to say any person who is accused of sexual assault should be believed. she is trying to run as a feminist? it's disgusting. it infuriates me. charles: a lot of people are saying bill clinton is the consummate politician. this stuff is old. it won't work, and it could backfire. >> i made no secret about this. i believe donald trump is america's last best hope for the survival of this country. back when i was a young police officer in new jersey i actually used donald trump and his family as role models for young people. he's a man i have learned that is very, very fair. he's a good father. he's not sexist. he's fair. you know what? when you are the number one guy on top of the polls you have got to expect a lot of attacks. so they are going to try this but it's not going to work. charles: trump make it easy to attack him. >> the way he talks about women in general and hillary specifically. the bath

bill clinton is not going to be the end all in the campaign. he will be coming under attack from manier oh people. >> the chair of the democratic national committee did. playing gutter politics and said any candidate who raises bill clinton as a negative does so at their own pear ril. it is not just democratic opponents. two of trump's republican rival expressed their disdain over his frontrunner status. >> the attacks on women and hillary not getting back to the stage on time, the attacks on hispanics and muslims, wait until we start voting. then we are going to know. >> i am discouraged the republican party makes such a big deal about trump being loyal to the party. the party better be loyal to whoever the nominee is be it me or be it donald trump. otherwise we have no system, nothing at all. >> huckabee and kasich are two of the lowest pollings. they have no intent to get out of the race. >>> we are 34 days until the first votes are cast. the weekly standard steve haze and bill kristol giving predictions about the votes in iowa. >> i think t

bill clinton is like the teflon man.of trump but the question is he the one guy that can hurt bill clinton? if bill clinton goes down, there's no way hillary clinton has a shot at the presidency. tom: betsy, is bill clinton a target or should they ignore him? >> i think what's interesting about millennial voters and how they view bill clinton and whether or not he can be a target is not only people in my age bracket not remember the clinton impeachment and the lewinsky scandal because most of us don't, younger americans tend to be less traditional when it comes to the moral. not as big of a deal to them that somebody cheated on their wife than folks who are 10 or 20 years older than us. many people care passionately about these things, millennials are less likely to be religious in their views on these. might not hurt hillary clinton with young people as others expect. tom: we wish you well. thank you betsy woodruff and ron meyer for joining us. >>> 51% of viewers said despite trump's lead in the polls other gop candidat

bill clinton is like the teflon man. trump but the question is he the one guy that can hurt bill clinton? if bill clinton goes down, there's no way hillary clinton has a shot at the presidency. tom: betsy, is bill clinton a target or should they ignore him? >> i think what's interesting about millennial voters and how they view bill clinton and whether or not he can be a target is not only people in my age bracket not remember the clinton impeachment and the lewinsky scandal because most of us don't, younger americans tend to be less traditional when it comes to the moral. not as big of a deal to them that somebody cheated on their wife than folks who are 10 or 20 years older than us. many people care passionately about these things, millennials are less likely to be religious in their views on these. might not hurt hillary clinton with young people as others expect. tom: we wish you well. thank you betsy woodruff and ron meyer for joining us. >>> 51% of viewers said despite trump's lead in the polls other gop candidates

let's talk about how hillary clinton ultimately does respond and how bill clinton also responds sincethird wedding, donald trump's third wedding. >> i don't think hillary clinton has to respond. she's standing on her own two feet. i don't think donald trump wants to go toe to toe with bill clinton. bill clinton is a con sum ate politician. it bears repeat gs, i can objectively tell anyone listening or watching, bill clinton is the greatest politician of our generation. i don't think there are any ifs ands or buts about that. and i don't think anyone is going to follow donald trump down the rabbit hole other than gop candidates. we're talking about a candidate who's bigoted and candidate who's sexist. that's not going -- the gop wants to win in florida and ohio and colorado or virginia. it just won't. >> and what do you think about the gender politics of all of this, hillary clinton is using jen gender. should trump be saying i'm a great businessman and i'm going to fix america? >> they are apples and oranges and attacking hillary for using jentder card in a way he does is making a moc

and yeah, he does use some coarse language, language that shocks people but nothing like what bill clintonid to people that worked for him, young people that worked for him that weren't much older than his daughter. and, of course, as you mentioned, hillary clinton was -- her entire career as first lady before that was dedicated to covering for him, covering for this horrible behavior and doing everything she could to discredit the women, the very strong women who came forward despite the intense pressure not to, who came forward and said, hey, there's something wrong with this guy. this guy did this to me. she led the charge in destroying those people and their characters. >> eboni, what do you think? a smart play for trump? >> it's fair game certainly. in the law we saw when you introduce something into evidence it becomes fair game. you opened the door for it. the moment hillary clinton brought hillary clinton out on the campaign trail to bolster her, she can't rightfully benefit from the added component of bill clinton and not reap the consequence, too. trump's right about that. but it

this is not donald trump that started to talk about bill clinton. this was hillary clinton calling him a sexist. and she's just putting him on notice that before you start calling me names, you need to stay closer to home with the antics that she's trying to use. the fact of the matter is, hillary is running on the woman card. she's said it before and she said it again. she's running because she has to have women to win. the problem is, hillary is polling statistically tied with women, with all of the republican candidates at the top. this has nothing to do with iowa. this has everything to do with hillary clinton trying to paint donald trump as a sexist. just like she would do with any other candidate that she felt like she might have to run against. >> so david, let me ask you, because i'm curious as to whether you think hillary clinton is playing this well or has gone too far. let me share what another republican candidate had to say about this issue today, carly fiorina. >> hillary clinton, first of all, calls everybody a sexist and that's not fa

it remains to be seen how broad amp fa case it gets. >> the argument bill clinton is fair game, therethers on both parties that might make that case but i want to play what rand paul said about the feud on trump and clinton particularly on the issue of trump and bill clinton. have a listen. >> i don't think it's hillary's fault but bill clinton is who he is and there are laws we have and social norms and i think we've improved the social norms where men are not allowed to prey on women at the workplace and i think the waybill clinton treated monica lewinsky, that behavior wouldn't be tolerated in any corporation in america. >> first, he makes an argument others have made but now you have two republican candidates, rand paul, quite far back, but making that same case. what do you make of that and does that stick on the campaign trail speaking specifically about hillary clinton? >> i think it makes it clear whoever the nominee is that all of the issues from the '90s and the clinton era will be relitigated and prosecuted by the republican nominee and it started with rand and obviously, t

hillary clinton not only tolerated bill clinton's behavior but he helped her along with the clinton machineng to run for president to attack these women. so it's a little bit rich for her to now go out and say he's a champion of women. sexual assault victims belove in her own words while sending bill clinton on the campaign trail trying to be a champion for victims of sexual assault. >> what do you make of this report from the trump campaign that he's about to launch an if ad campaign? spending his own money, maybe two million dollars a week. do you think he's looking over o his shoulder actually looking in front of him and seeing ted cruz leading in iowa, so out he can start to spend some money. is that why he's doing it? >> i think so. at this point donald trump has very lucky in the sense that he's earned hundreds of millions in free media in free advertising but looking at iowa saying i want the momentum there even though iowa isn't always indicator of who will win the presidency but he's now looking to talk this race more seriously by buying up ads as ted cruz gets closer in that state

bill clinton. hillary clinton, meanwhile, campaigning for her next week. >>> and one of the biggest names in football, peyton manning tonight, lashing out. >> it's a joke. it's a freaking joke. >> the famous players coming to his defense, and the reporter, standing by their story. >>> good evening. i hope you had a great holiday with your family, getting back home, though, might be a different story. 70 million americans tonight are facing winter storm warnings and alerts. record-setting snow and ice from texas to maine, before it's done. and this is the satellite view of the massive system. first bringing deadly tornadoes over the weekend. then blizzard conditions. now, more than two dozen states tonight are bracing for more storms. tens of thousands without power already. in oklahoma, power lines bending under the weight of the ice. whiteout conditions on highway 18 near mason city, iowa. and the system is moving east. tonight, the lines growing at airports coast to coast. this image from chicago

bill clinton who i will use the word nuanced, a nuanced past, bill clinton i find had a very successful presidency but also it had a blot on it. let me be clear. i'm not complaining because that's hillary clinton's issue about his sexual behavior in terms of whether he had extramarital affairs during or before or after the presidency. i'm not suggesting anything about after. my concern is his behavior in office with a subordinate and alleged behavior with others, and his lying about it. to the american people and under oath. i think that's fair game. >> right. and michael, as ruth points out, he was the president. ruth says his record's fair game. secretary clinton's putting him out on the campaign trail as really, her top surrogate. is it smart politics, though, and do you worry that ultimately it could backfire if trump becomes the nominee or whoever the republican nominee is? >> i think ruth is right on target here. this is -- bill clinton did things, abuse of power while in office, that would have gotten a corporate head fired by his board, okay, but the american people didn't fire

donald trump is bringing in bill clinton. we'll see where the voters are on all of this and we'll also see at 8:00 right here live, donald trump telling his side of the story, not just on hillary clinton. we're going to talk to him about what is coming up. the fox business debate, mid-january, that's a couple of weeks. iowa caucuses a few weeks away. >> so much to do. >> so much to do. and what to ask? >> i'll be scheming with ed and julia this morning. >>> coming up next, more than a year after we first learned of problems plaguing the phoenix va, they have not been fixed. the whistle blower says there are still not enough doctors. >>> you've seen the videos everywhere online. dad trying the hoverboard for christmas. now you can add a congressman to that list. that's next. yes, we are twins. when i went on to ancestry, i just put in the name of my parents and my grandparents. i was getting all these leaves and i was going back generation after generation. you start to see documents and you see signatures of people that you've

trump threatening again to dig up bill clinton's old scandals after hillary clinton accused trump ofm in an interview last week. neither clinton has responded directly to trump's new threats but hillary clinton has reposted this video of her take on trump. >> we shouldn't let anybody bully his way into the presidency. >> republican rival carly fiorina briefly defended trump on fox news. >> bill clinton is fair game but my point is attacking bill clinton won't defeat littlery clinton. >> a flattering new poll for trump's chief nemesis found hillary clinton tops the list of most admired women in the world, a spot she has held 20 times. donald trump tied with pope francis for second most admired man in the world, but in first place, by a wide marge is president barack obama. with just five weeks to go until the first primaries, republicans analysts say the biggest threat to a dominant trump would be an early loss in iowa where ted cruz is gaining ground in the polls. >> i think at that point the mystique is gone and then it's a regular race and trump has to be a candidate like everyone

as far as bill clinton, yeah, bill clinton is popular. but again, he's not invulnerable.gain, the side issues to me are not relevant. >> let's talk about the general election. you have criticized some of trump's comments about muslims recently. will you support him, congressman king, if he's the nominee? >> well, i would support the nominee of my party but -- >> even if it's trump? >> it's a question of how strong the support would be. it's not just the issue on muslims. it's any other, for instance, where he's comparing the u.s. to putin or moral equivalency between putin and the u.s. where he says president bush knew about 9/11. all of that is crazy talk. to me, a republican conservative should not be endorsing those views. i knew guys like donald trump growing up. he and i are about the same age, he lives about 20 minutes away. he was a multi-millionaire and i was in a blue collar neighborhood. guys like him talked a lot. guys in my neighborhood talked and delivered. i'm not that intimidated by donald trump. >> you and i have discussed on this program whether or not yo

and he has new ammunition on the trail, talking about bill clinton, hillary clinton. e going to dip in live to this event coming up next. >>> all right. our breaking news. for the first time, bill cosby criminally charged with aggravated indecent assault. this goes back to a 2004 case involving a then-temple university employee, andrea constand. she first came forward in 2005. she was told there was not sufficient evidence, but now a district attorney in montgomery county, pennsylvania, says new information that came to light this summer is enough to bring these charges. the d.a.'s office laid out the alleged crime a short time ago. >> mr. cosby made two sexual advances at her that were rejected. on the evening in question, mr. cosby urged her to take pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. the effect of which rendered her unable to move and to respond to his advances, and he committed aggravated indecent assault upon her. >> again, just to remind our viewers here, you've heard a lot of charges issued toward bill cosby over the last year or two, but this is th

he is dredgeing up the past, talking about the transgressions of bill clinton. one thing that hillary clinton is doing, though, whenever she is being asked about what trump is doing, taking these pot shots at her about the past. she's ignoring. listen to what she did during one moment yesterday. >> your response to donald trump's comments about your husband? >> nice to see you. thank you. yes, she is. >> any comments, mrs. clinton? >> so she answered the question about mr. charlotte was going to have a sibling, her granddaughter. she didn't answer the question about her husband and donald trump's shots at her husband. is this what it's going to be? are we going to be, are we going to be relitigating the 1990s? >> especially since donald trump has said that it was nonsense. >> right. we probably are, anyway, what donald trump has said in the past does not seem to matter during the course of this presidential campaign. he's very up front about the fact that he used to be, used to consider himself a liberal democrat. so he's sort of thrown his own history way behind

clinton together, can't be trusted. they insulted the american people in the past. bill did when he lied about the monica lewinsky scandal. that while now while hillary is running on being a champion for women and being a champion for those less privileged, that's not what the clintons have been about, that bill clinton preyed on his underlings, uses political power to do so. it's a reminder at this point, not here's new knowledge or new information, it's reminding people the character of the clintons. deirdre: chris, how much does it matter of the accusations and cross accusations of sexism. how important is the topic for the campaign? >> well, i think right now it's helping both candidates. i mean clinton does very well being attacked by trump. trump does very well being attacked by clinton. and the only two candidates that anybody is talking about is hillary clinton and donald trump. to my last count, there's 13 other republicans running for president of the united states and two other democrats seriously challenging her, and the only people we're talking about are th

bill clinton is not your average political spouse. >> that is true. >> donald trump accuses bill of demonstratingant for sexi sexism. we have nia-malika henderson with us. >> before we get to this, that's not all he's accused clinton of playing. he's accused her of playing the women's card. let's take a listen and then we'll take. >> she's playing the woman's car. it's like give me a break. i've had so many women come up to me, say you've got to keep her out, she is just terrible. she's playing that woman's card left and right and women are more upset about it than anybody else, including most men. >> so ron, can this backfire, bringing in the family, marriage, past, that sort of thing? >> i think it is a hard argument to make that she's the guilty party in bill clinton's misbehavior, particularly in the white house. hard argument to make to swing voters. you're hearing from donald trump, it's something more about mobilizing the republican base than it is about dealing with the issues he faces among women himself. one thing we have seen, don, as you look at the latest cnn/orc poll, donald trump h

clinton getting personal. republican frontrunner accusing bill of having quote, a terrible record of women abuse. that remark days after mrs. clinton said trump had a quote pe penchant for sexism. deadly weather brings parts of the country to a halt, more than 40 deaths reported nationwide. with tornadoes from the south to midwest, we have latest coming up. >> top story tonight, circrack forces -- iraq forces today declaring victory in their battle to retake ramadi from the is lambic state -- islamic stat state. iraqi soldiers raise their country's flag, and celebrate today. they regained control of the center government there. ramadi has been quote liberated about we're told there are still pockets of isis militants and more work needs to be done flushing out isis fighters hole up in buildings,ry retaking central ramadi is a major gain for iraq's military, and a major loss for isis according to the officials. >> want to note events in ramadi, we commend the government of iraq, and brave iraqi forces, that have displayed perseverance and courage in the fight to return ramadi back to the iraqi peop
