more analysis from bill kristol, congressman keith ellison, and david plouffe, and carly fiorina. bill, you were up with the chairman as well. agree with the assessment? >> they were high morale. whatever you think of the details, deciding who moderates debates, they're fighting. they're not rolling over the way the establishment guys would want them to and the liberal media would like them to, like a dog to get their tummy patted by the media and feels good. they're fighting back. it's a sign of a more spirited republican party. they were in a good mood and they have a right to be. >> fighting back against the white house and democrats, but with each other. >> the chairman talked about the field organizers. 160 people in the big country is not very much. they don't have a product to sell. you can hire 10,000 people to win the presidency in 2016, 2020, they are facts, not opinions. they have to grow the vote with hispanics, women, growing asian communities, they're not rehabilitating. they're re-trenching after the election loss. i don't see any evidence that in terms of their appe

. >> thank you, bill kristol, for coming.it. you don't think if she ran in the republican primary in alaska and beat a couple of good candidates and the incumbent senator it would be interesting, fun to have her in the senate in january 2015. good to have a republican vote there. lively young senator. >> disciplined to do that? >> listen -- >> nicole, you worked with her. >> you have a lot more sway in her world. i promise you what she heard out of what you said, was how to. not the beginning. >> it is how to. if she wants to have a serious future in american politics, as opposed to giving speeches, causing a ruckus with facebook posts she should run for office. running and winning takes away a lot of, you know, a lot of the baggage of the past. >> erases a multi it today -- >> nixon after losing the governorship in '62, was finished, was finished the way he wasn't finished ran for the presidency and won. p. >> do you think she does want to have that kind of future, though? do you think she does want a serious future? >> i ha

bill kristol of "the weekly standard." fox news media analyst, howard kurtz. rmer republican senator and head of the heritage foundation, jim demint, and fox news political analyst, juan williams. bill, what do you make of the decision to close the embassies and consulates from algeria to bangladesh? what does it say about the president's foreign policy and our fight where we stand with al-qaeda? >> four years ago, president obama gave a much heralded speech, his outreach to the muslim world, and now four years later we're closing embassies throughout the muslim world. the year ago the president said al-qaeda is on the run. now we seem to be on the run. i'm not criticizing the decision to close the embassies, probably the right thing to do to save american lives and others, but it's a terrible thing. you know, just a year ago, boasting al-qaeda is on the run, osama bin laden is dead, and now an unprecedented closure of 22 embassies. the travel alert, which lasts for a month, which incidentally, i'm not sure people understand, the state department hates to do th

here's an interview with bill kristol who only seems to emerge vol canically like now when we have forgottenq war. here's what he said about the president being stubborn. this is like gene kirkpatrick. here he goes. >> that was the case study of the reset, and they have just doubled down on it so many times. they never wanted to admit it was wrong. there was a moment two years ago where even i would have said i never really liked the reset with russia. it was too trust worthy of putin. but i could see if you're a new administration, you would try it. we didn't pay that much of a price the first couple years. but now reality has hit. could we please adjust to reality? they're so obstinate on that, have been, that they have made it worse. >> i said ted cruz never smiles. he smiles when he's talking about war. what is it about kristol. he's such a neocon all the way. he loves this stuff. >> this is the second category of conservative response. you have the cheap political point o scoring you could look at boehner and say but think back a decade. >> what do they want, the cold war back? >> basic

take a look what bill kristol and former senator jim demint said this weekend on fox. >> four years ago, president obama gave a much heralded speech, his outreach to the muslim world. now four years later we're closing embassies throughout the arab world. a year ago he said al qaeda is on the run. now we seem to be on the run. i'm not criticizing the decision to close the embassies. that's probably the right thing to do for the sake of trying to save american lives and others but it's a terrible thing that just a year ago boasting al qaeda is on the run and osama bin laden is dead, and now an unprecedented closure of 22 embassies. >> i'm not questioning what he's doing. i think what bill is saying is true is our attempt to placate parts of the world, reset to whether it's russia or somewhere else are clearly not working. the perception of weakness in this administration is encouraging this kind of behavior. >> of course, those were extreme hawks. someone needs to tell jim demint al qaeda doesn't care what our relationship is with russia. for more on how washington reacted, i'm joined by

bill kristol of "the weekly standard," joe lieberman, carlie fiorina, former ceo of hewlett-packard and pace. president obama says he wants to strike the right balance between the freedoms and security in proposing reforms to government surveillance. the aclu immediately said that he doesn't gone nearly far enough, while some conservatives said he's jeopardizing our safety in an effort to satisfy groups like the aclu. bill, does that mean he got the balance just right or that he totally messed it up? >> we don't know what he's proposed really. it's so vague. so it's hard to know. he's been president for 4 1/2 years, one would assume he'd be making sure there was a right balance between security and privacy. i'd rather think there has been. if he wants to propose some tweaks he can do so, but i think he has to reassure people that he's paying attention and there's no rampant violation of privacy or liberties. >> senator lieberman, president obama criticized edward snowden as no patriot, he and his administration have been much tougher, charged him with violating espionage. but in effect

certainly look forward to working with the panelist, john stossel, gary, judith, and, of course, bill kristol who every week i open up the standard just to get my marching orders for the week. so thank you, bill. also old friend in the audience, herb london, who i want to acknowledge. [applause] great race for governor, i guess it was 23 years ago, and he's been a good friend of me and my family, i want to say what a pleasure it is to see herb here today, and all the veterans who have done so much for our country, thank you. the whole issue of liberty versus security, i think it has to be looked at against the backdrop of what's happened since september 11th and the current threat we see right now is a vivid reminder of how real and constant the threat is. i'm only going into the foreign aspect to put the domestic part in context. we have a president who spent the last campaign and most recently gave a speech in early may where he said al-qaeda have been decimated, implied the war had been won and we could retreat to a pre-9/11 mindset, saying there would be occasional thugs around the world
