let's start with bret baier. bret, why did he sign this? first thing he said was that the rnc is terrific. he hasn't said that for a while. he said he -- all he wanted was fairness and that's why he signed it. he said it was because of the polls. >> he said basically that he's leading in you willall of these. now he says definitively he wants to run as a republican and win as a republican. he has -- he said that he has been treated fairly from the beginning and he felt it was time. as we talked about coming in, the real reason here is about ballot access. and some of these states that you have to get on and sign this pledge. and this is all part of it. what's interesting about donald trump -- first of all, there is why people love him. he takes every question. answers everything from kanye west to whatever. and he sits there and answers it, and he also knows every poll number of every state and every organization that's out with a new poll that he is leading in. >> yeah. he also eviscerates other candidates. he basically said jeb bush, just

joining us, bret baier and brit hume. were there stand out moments for you? >> the one you just showed was a stand out moment and a weak for o chris christie. for him to bitch about it i thought was unfortunate on a night i thought he did well. >> who do you think won the debate? >> carly fiorina, despite the fact she seemed cross at times, but her command of these national and international issues and our military status is quite impressive, especially for someone outside of government. >> how did trump do? >> listen. i thought he had a decent night. probably middle of the road. he's leading by so much. he did not have an implosion moment. there was no attack that killed him, i don't think, tonight. he had the most time, judging by the counters, almost 18 minutes. >> yup. >> he didn't have a great moment but he didn't have a misstep, either. . >> he didn't give a lot of new information. i talked to him this week and said you've got to expand it. the person who got the least amount of time was scott walker, about seven minutes so the difference between trump

bret baier everyone we'll be watching as always you have to watch 6:00 eastern time bret baier be thank us a pleasure. thank you, sir. howard is the host of media buzz, and howard is with us now. i'm sure you're watching the trump carly fiorina drama unfold. i have to ask the same question to you as a i just asked to bret baier as he finally gone too far? has he finally said something which is going to hurt him in the polls? >> i'm with you making fun of the candidate. you don't want to go there. but i've been through six, seven, eight rounds now of trump saying something whether it is attacking john mccain, or getting in a fight with megyn kelly where the collective pundit saying this is it. he's going to fade and implode and he's impervious whether this one is different in the way he was dismissive of another presidential candidate, i'm not so sure. >> have you ever heard two candidates, now 405 candidates going at it so strongly on this issue. bobby jindal unloaded on donald trump but the national press club i'm sure you've seen the clip from that saying somewhat similar things about

ended and joining us now from washington with an assessment the anchor of the "special report" bret baier. did you get anything out of that first debate, bret? >> hey, bill, a couple of things. one is it'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 in early debate. he had one liners and he had some back and forth and he had substance. i think he is probably the winner out of that early card debate. >> all right. i was watching the debate in my office in new york city. i had two slices of pizza. i was frying not to chew that loud so i could hear them. i didn't really hear anything out of the ordinary, all right. it was the standard here are the problems, here is how going to solve it except for this from bobby jindal. roll the tape. >> my fellow republicans, let's stop treating donald trump like a republican. if he were really

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

joining us now, bret baier, the anchor of "special report." 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 back
