what's going on, bret?> well, jon, she is coming out with a little more pointed elbows to try to differentiate herself from the republican field. arguably, that field has gotten a lot of the spotlight over the past week. i think that effort by hillary clinton to buy a couple million dollars worth of ads in early states in new hampshire and iowa may be directly tied to concerns about polls and her favorability numbers going down over the past couple of months. other backdrop here, being, jon, is that her main opponent on the democratic side so far, bernie sanders, is still getting 10,000, 15,000 people at events as he closes the gap in polls in new hampshire. jon: but those ads that you mentioned, you know, they're kind of gazi, feel-good, warm and fuzzy ads. they talk about how she is a fighter for families but they don't take on her republican challengers or her democratic challengers. can she cast herself, you know, as a battler when she is running that kind of advertising? >> well i think the advertising

when bret baier said this is the only raise your hand moment, some people argued that's a gimmick.ho looked at that and said that's a gimmick, that was a substantive question, and i thought bret, chris and megyn were solid as real glacial rocks there. i thought they were very serious. this was not the circus that a lot of people had either anticipated, hoped or criticized that it would be. not at all. there was substance. you just heard jeff flock live in illinois talk to a democratic voter who said it was phenomenal. finally getting people excited about so-called civics again, trish. trish: that matters. howard, there was an interesting piece by frank bruney in the "new york times" praising fox news for what we saw on stage last night, and he said in some ways this sort of debate with this really hard-line questioning, that was the only -- fox news was the only one that could do it and get away with it. what did he mean by that? >> he's a liberal saying i can't believe i'm writing these words, hooray for fox news. what he meant was if the same question had been asked by a bunch of

bret baier getting ready. i've been at these events with him. he's like elvis when he appears.s to talk to him. he's very nice. he's a very friendly guy. but boy, all your personal skills are going to be called into question on this one. because you got ten people vying for your attention, ten people who are going to try to steal time, move clock. what do you do? are you prepared for all contingencies? >> first of all, neil, i co-moderated with you for a debate. and i saw the flocks of neil kavuto fans. >> no. those were restaurant manager whose knew i was in town. remember, you and i were looking for italian restaurants. and we could not find them. >> that's true. i wanted to leave it out of the story. what i'm doing is -- and what we are doing meghan kelly and others, we're logistically planning out how we can move the conversation to substance, trying to think of all the variables possible. there are a lot of them with ten candidates on the stage as you know, neil. and i think it's going to be really fast-moving. and i also think it's going to be pretty illuminating for view

asince you mention donald trump enormous attention going to him bret baier said he woke up in cold sweatsh truck true on same and not listening. is this in danger of becoming the trump show? >> no, that is where there is a system. the system is, the candidates have a minute to answer the question. they have 30 seconds to rebut roughly speaking. obviously, this is our telecast so we will do what is necessary. i am not worried about donald trump now. i am not concerned he is going to do something reckless. i --. >> maybe you want him do be on the debate because it is better for ratings? >> i don't wore about that stuff and fox news is a profitable enterprise whatever donald trump does. >> this is enormous attention and criticism too tore follow using national polling averages to limit the prime time debate, not the first one, to the top ten. isn't having continue people on a stage going to be somewhat difficult for a debate that is a division show in terms of how much time? >> obviously sure, ten is more than eight. eight is more than four, four is more than two and you have two next year.
