bret baier joins us, anchor of "special report." bret, good morning to you.day he gets another opportunity to answer that question. what do we think he is going to say? >> well i think reince priebus going to trump tower, it is probably baked in the cake. i don't think the rnc chairman would go there and hold a news conference if mr. trump has not decided to already sign that pledge. and some outlet already reporting from sourcing that in fact is the cases that he will sign this loyalty pledge. you know the interesting thing about this is, the rnc decided to do this and all pretty much every candidate has weighed insofar. that is essentially the answer that was on the debate night too. because by not raising their hand, they were all saying that they pledged to support the eventual nominee, even if it is donald trump. i think that was one thing that was overlooked in that whole question. martha: here is chris christie, talking about that from earlier. he said the same thing, when i didn't raise my hand i answered the question. everybody is being put through t

joined by bret baier, anchor of "special report." bret, good morning to you.>> good morning, martha. martha: twitter started lighting up after that statement by carly fiorina, i think in part because of the specificity of her answer and dei will tag things she would do on day one. she is getting a lot of positive feedback for last night. your thoughts on that comment and on the foreign policy debate? >> well, martha, she signed in your debate in cleveland and i think she shined last night and she was substantive and forceful. she had a number of drop the mic moments and you know, and you had these moments created for carly fiorina. and i think she took the ball and ran with it. there was one answer that was really i think expert and that is, her answer that we have together iran and planned parenthood. it is hard together that one answer could have both of these things in a substantive way but it taps into all people in the republican base, hey, congress, we fav you the house, the senate. you can't block this horrible deal with iran? you can't convince four de

. >> bret baier is a guest on "the real story" today. it was hard to watch the interview, bret. it seemed incredibly genuine. do you think he will actually get in? >> it was raw and emotional, gretchen. and i think after seeing this interview a lot of people's perception of whether he was going to get in the race may have changed. i think the going perception here in washington was that he was leaning to do it and he was getting ready to do it and that he was talking to all these people and that the money people were starting to line up. i think, as you listened to that on cbs last night, i think there are more and more people who are saying he has a tough time emotionally still and that his heart is not 100% in it. and this is the beginning of the explanation to say why he's not going to run. that's the perception after the interview. >> it's interesting because some of the inside people have said that he's watching the hillary polls closely and if she dipped below 40% that he would get in. so let's look at the latest national poll. hillary clinton watching her numbers nose-div

joining us now, bret baier, the anchor of "special report."e you surprised that her lead has actually grown in the last week or two, bret? >> hey, jon, good morning. not really. she's been out and about really on a campaign in those early states and also in a lot of interviews including interviews that are, you know, a little bit more lighthearted, late night tv, jimmy fallon. i mean, those things touch a lot of people nationally, so her numbers bump up a little bit. i think the real concern for the clinton campaign is the early state numbers, not the national polls, but the numbers in new hampshire and in iowa. and currently, she's still trailing on the average of polls to bernie sanders. jon: yeah. because we know what happened in 2008. she was banking on a win in iowa, in fact, she came in third place behind the guy who ultimately ran -- won the nomination, a little-known senator named barack obama. so if she does stumble, if she does do badly in those first or two states, in iowa and new hampshire, it potentially could set the campaign bac

i'm bret baier. the gop presidential candidates are back on the campaign trail today.night's second primetime debate. chief political correspondent carl cameron with how the candidates went toe to toe with donald trump are trying to capitalize on that today. >> the day after the second debate was about cleanup and

bret baier, host of "special report" and one of the last moderators at the last gop debate. bret, thank you so much for joining us. what do you think will be different about this one? >> hey, melissa, listening to jake tapper, our good friend at cnn he wants to try to get each candidate to mix it up with another and really try to get interaction going. we tried numerous times on number of topics. they, many candidates were a little reluctant to do that in that first debate. maybe this, because donald trump and ben carson are leading by so much, in the recent polls, that maybe they will be ready to do that now. we'll see if that is the case. and i also think that having carly fiorina on that stage is a different dynamic, especially in the wake of the dust-up with donald trump. melissa: absolutely. what issue do you think will be front and center? what are two of the biggest ones? >> i think foreign policy you judging by some of the talk over there at cnn will be big. hugh hewitt is big into foreign policy, the radio talk show host. he asked a number of specific questions on t

did you get anything out of that first debate, bret? >> hey, bill, a couple of things.s much different environment than we had in cleveland. it's in the reagan library it was a little odd in that it looked like they arranged the candidates by height almost. so it kind of -- it is staged differently. and it's a smaller venue. so othere is not a big crowd. that said lindsey graham had a good night

bret stephens joins us with more. so this means that it -- this deal is moving forward now. any possible way to stop it? >> no. look, the only way it's going to be stopped is if the vote -- a vote of disapproval lays a predicate for the next administration to begin to walk away from the deal as iran cheats as it will cheat on aspects of the deal and as iran continues to behave the way it does in the middle east. >> now, the white house is building on they're not happy with just 37 votes i think is the latest count that we have in favor of -- they're trying to get 41 and then filibuster it in the senate so that using that procedural move, it would never really come up for a formal vote of disapproval and never get to the president's desk. >> right. you had 98 senators voting in may for a bill that would force at least -- at least us for a a so little confidence in this agreement they don't even want to have a vote because they know that even now, a bipartisan majority of both houses of congress disapprove of the deal. >> are they going to go ahead with that, do you think? >>

that will be the number one story on "the five" and bret baier. could be the moment. we ask what you thought. bill said this, will rnc sign a pledge to fully back trump if people choose him? >> and jack says trump is painted into a corner f. he signs he's a flip flopper, if he doesn't, he's a team player. >> the other two have spoken. this is from ted. he uses the e-mail which is harder. i think there needs to be two pledges, trump to stick with party and party to stick with voters. there you go. >> what will happen today? we'll have that for you. >> donald trump has the two to one lead over ben carson. 25 to 12%. this is the time to sign the if he's going to. >> good point. >> absolutely. that's an interesting point about saying you wouldn't and do. his whole appeal has been outsider antiestablishment candidate. it still is very much a moment. >> for richer or poorer? a study of 2,000 exposed the fact half of married couples do not know what their spouse earns. is this good or bad thing for your marriage? 2,000 people found women are more likely
