>> i really like carly fiorina.special, special person, and i think she's earned her way to the main stage next time. her ability to connect with people, her intelligence came through tonight, and i really think that's going to transcend in the polls in the coming days. lou: it's clear you think she is number one among those early debaters, who else do you see as moving himself ahead in the debate? >> well, let me just say this about carly. she came to the iowa freedom summit and the south carolina freedom summit which i hosted recently. she connects with people both in iowa and south carolina. her story is pretty tremendous, i think she's going to move up. i think rick perry did himself a good job as well. he came across as very smart and accomplished governor. i'll be honest with you, you know, rick santorum has wonderful answers and i hope he's around for the long haul as well. the rest of them i just don't know about. lou: well, there's a reason they aren't on the main stage in cleveland at 9:00 tonight. that's

debate but carly fiorina won in the 5:00 debate. and the republican party will way woman, fierce, and business? i like her. >> it has been interesting. it felt she had a lot of momentum. you get people on twitter and social media saying they like her but it isn't translating into numbers for her. that is the big question for iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina and if she can move the needle. >> she will get some go go from this. >> thank you, chris. >>> immigration certainly a hot topic. it was at 5:00 and during the prime time area. marco rubio arguing americans are fed up and they demand a solution now and this is it: >> people are frustrated. this is the most generous country in the world when it comes to immigration. there are a million of people a year that people immigrant. and people feel like they are being take advantage of. the people who call my office who have been waiting for 15 years to come to the united states who paid fees, hired a lawyer, and can't get in. >> john kasich enjoying the home state advantage gettin

he also went after republican presidential nominee carly fiorina. will his non-stop attack mode work for his campaign for the presidency? >>> donald trump kicked out of a major conservative gathering this weekend for a comment he made about a fox news anchor, megyn kelly. shelves not trump's only female target in the republican debate and since. he has very little positive to say about fellow republican candidate carly fiorina. this was trump last night with cnn's dom lemon. >> she ran for senator against barbara boxer in california. she lost in a landslide. i'm not knocking her, i couldn't care less, she's not going to win. so what, you glib, it takes a lot more than being glib. she got fired and ran for office and lost in a landssupplied i don't see that necessarily as great credentials. >> carley dpi orie na did not respond directly to that. she did say this about his rude comments to megyn kelly, mr. trump, there is no excuse. immediately afterwards, i stand with megyn kelly. >> ben, donald trump appears to go on the offense once again and goes

carly did. as a woman, i think she had other things that could have struck against her and she had them all in check. her voice, her demeanor her sense of control, her discipline, her precision. it was pitch perfect. >> yeah. i think she comes to the table knowing as a female candidate, the bar is just going to be a little higher. there are some things that are tougher and she came ready for. that. >> how did trump do with conservatives? >> i think all of the energy if you're just going to look at the quantitative values trump did great. the trudge you is look at just how things are doing on line especially, on facebook, people respond to trump big time. it's evocative and emotional. people hear him talk. i was saying before trump is like the greatest news source for himself. you hear it all the time. he's talking about how fantastic i am. >> what's amazing is how no one has any idea how he did last night. even now. >> i think i know. i know. >> half the country seems to think that oh, he's off

we go to the iowa state fair to hear from carly fiorina. she is being introduced now. >> then she became ceo of hewlett-packard in 1999. welcome.

[applause] >> i would like to ask you about rai

standouts, i liked carly fiorina.he did a shout out to the thing on. -- she did a shout out to the union for putting the thing on. it was fine. i think it improved the position of all the candidates who were there. host: your headline in the union leader, america meets the gop. what do you mean? why was this form important? rtant?um impo thet: it was important for three early voting states. fox announced it was limiting the field to the top 10 candidates on the basis of polls. februaryht be ok in the weekend before the primary. but six months before, it is absurd. and doesn't present to either the three states or the nation the broader field of candidates. so america meet the gop. they are not going to meet them if they only watch the 9:00 program thursday night. they have an earlier table forng kiddie lower tier candidates. i talked to a former senator in the audience last night and he was expressing great frustration and wonderment that a network could leave off the stage one of the most knowledgeable u.s. senators

>> carly fiorina. i think ted cruz -- carly fiorina she was scathing in going after president obama's failed foreign policy and i think she really hit the nail on the head on the iran deal. weak is senator rand paul. that was his weakness heading into the debate. again he failed to address that last night. his isolationist policies don't match up with the rest of the party. >> charlie's best and worst on the military? >> best i would go with carly fiorina also. let's not forego about the cyber warfare start. what ben carson said what we do is our business. political war does not win. i thought it was the potential. worst was rand paul. americans want to be safe. i don't know that terrorists deserve the same constitutional rights as americans. >> you're not alone in that feeling. final topic we'll talk about leadership and messaging. charles just mentioned ben carson. here's the doctor right now. >> i was asked by an npr reporter once why don't i talk about race that often. i said it's because i'm a neu

of course, she need to focus on carly fiorina. one of her answers on the serious topic of iran was used during the prime time debate for those candidate to respond to. she is right the more people she gets in front of, the more people like her. she is not afraid to talk about her record and she has a good message. she thinks the political class in washington, d.c. in both parties has failed americans and that resonated with people across the country. uma: do you expect her to do well in the next few weeks? >> carly fiorina did everything you would want a candidate to do in that first debate. she out performed her fellow candidate and got mentioned in the second debate. the bad news is her opponent weren't that impressive. i'm not sure she would have fared as well in the prime time debate. i don't think it's a good idea to call any opponent a liar with 15 months to go. and everything she talked about in term of fixing government and creating job, her business record undercuts. that's a challenge businessmen and women have confront

you talked about carly. listen to her taking on -- talking about the iran nuclear deal. >> on day one in the oval office i would call netanyahu to reassure him. the second will be to the supreme leader of iran. until you open every nuclear and military facility to full open any time anywhere for real inspections, we are going to make it as difficult as possible for to you move money around the global financial system. >> we will talk to her in a moment. she's been getting a lot of praise for her performance tonight. would you consider her the breakout star? >> reporter: absolutely. in style, in substance and also in performance, as you said. look there is a very diverse field this time around on the republican side. you have two latino candidates. you have an african-american candidate. you have an indian american candidate. you only have one woman who was unfortunately not at the debate with the big boys so to speak, that has to do with polling. i understand that. it was a moment. i talked to a lot of repub

that's something that carly has pointed out. she pointed that out today. said i know more world leaders in the gop primary process than any other person here with the exception of hillary clinton. guess what i did actual negotiations with these leaders. not photo ops. she's not afraid of getting rid of the woman card. we saw hillary clinton attacking jeb bush and scott walker for wanting to defund planned parenthood and take away women's health. what she didn't mention is that carly fiorina wants to defund planned parenthood. the clinton campaign doesn't want to mention carly fiorina because it's another option when it comes to voting for someone who is a female in the race. when you look at the polling, hillary clinton is not doing well with female voters. carly can fill that void. >> if i may add, when you introduce a conservative woman into the argument it smashes the liberal meme that all women think the same. this smashes that. it smashes the conformity that the left wants. it's invigorating and inspiring. not just for conservatives, not just for repu

that would be carly fiorina.s morning on "new day" she had some strong words for donald trump on what some might call his sexist remarks. >> no one who claims to represent our party should ever be judgmental in tone or visit ree -- any time people start calling people names it's unfair. it's uncalled for. it does not help our political debate. republicans and democrats alike are guilty of it. >> cnn political director is following that part of the story. fiorina was the star of the happy hour debate. so actually it was kind of sad when the candidates came out because there was no one in the audience. there were maybe eight people. it seemed like this was going to be a bust but for fiorina it definitely was not. >> reporter: she had a breakout night last night. she's going to get a fresh look from a lot of republican voters. i think carly fiorina accomplished two things last night. she showsed she is a tough fighter and willing to take on her opponents. early on in that undercard debate, that happen hiy hour debat

what are carly fiorina's weaknesses?> the target is probable low going to be jobs, and job creation and while she was the ceo of hewlett-pack arrested, a lot of jobs moved overseas. that wasn't unique to hp, i should say in fairness. it's not an industry that didn't see jobs move overseas. she's going to get some criticism for that. she's going to get some criticism. she's never held a position in government. we've seen, i think barak obama proves that it isn't that easy actually. it's pretty tough to make washington work right. for somebody who doesn't have governing experience, that will be raised. but let's face it, a lot of those guys on the platform don't have governing experience either. donald trump has never gordon robertsoned anything. ben carson has never governed anything. the fact that she's running and has job experience gives hear god answer. but those are going to be vulnerabilities. everybody in this race has vulnerabilities. >> so how far can carly fiorina take this? >> you know, i suppose i should have

you hear no talk at the grassroots about carly fiorina.he is a creature of the republican establishment and the press. i think it will have the same effect it has had the last three months. she has performed well and acquitted herself well. it is an interesting paradox. despite all the good performances she has given tonight a cattle calls, and now tonight on the debate stage, where she was very good compared to the rest of the crowd, she still is not moving or registering anywhere in the polls. it's a conundrum. al: she is also a failed ceo who was a totally failed candidate when she ran for the senate and test clobbered by barbara boxer. john: you are waging a one-man war on women. we are going to talk a lot more about the debates. but let's move on to our next topic. today, the democratic national six debatesnounced for their party's nomination contest. candidates like bernie sanders and martin o'malley say it is not enough. republicans suggest that the democratic party machinery is protecting its front-runner, hillary clinton. al, do t

despite carly fiorina's talk there is talk that cnn won't let carlie compete in their debate. complaining she is not in the top ten of the g.o.p. contenders. how can that be with their surge. cnn is using old polls. polls before the fox debate surge. carly fiorina is here to go "on the record." nice to see you, carlie. >> great to be with you, greta. >> do you have a short message right off the top to cnn? >> well, you know, i'm in the top five in every statewide poll. actually, we do have state primaries not national primaries. and each also comfortably in the top ten in every national poll. so maybe then using all these polls from before august 6th is a little bit like keeping a football game -- a football game out of the playoffs because of a preseason game. >> well, what cnn says, their response to this is they don't deny the fact that you are doing so well in the polls since the august debate here on fox news channel. but they say that cnn published that criteria for their debates on may 20th this year. and they thursday claim that the federal election commission guidelin

carly fiorina. >> what happens if -- carly petitions the rnc, cnn and someone drops out.he fight from that? >> i think she has a legitimate beef personally. >> we know that they are taking polls from before. we also know they're doing polls every single month. carly made a good point this morning on america's news room. she talked about we're doing new polling every single montshoing a change in the field. the polls are a snapshot of time. why are they using old polls to determine who's on stage. >> it's not just the polls. it's the fact when she goes to places like iowa this past weekend, she had more people show up at her event than they were anticipating. much more. more than like the population of the town. so i actually think if they're thinking about ratings, people want to see her. they're showing up. they're actually going in person. so i think they would turn on. the other thing i would add about carly fiorina is that don't listen to the nonsense. if you hear somebody say well she's just running because she wants to be vice president. that's something you say abo

you were very impressed with carly fiorina?ing this is someone who is going to have a lasting impact on this election and someone that the republican party would be smart to take a serious look at. she's got a business record but as we saw, she's articulate she's compassionate and cares deeply what she's talking about. and if you remember at this point four years ago michele bachmann was at the center of that debate stage. she won the iowa straw poll. this is a marathon. this is not a sprint. what she told me carly fiorina said i don't want to be a shooting star. i want a slow and steady rise. i want to continue to earn the respect of the voters and that's exactly what i think she's doing. >> i think we saw that from -- you saw marco rubio sort of coming front and center again right after a bit of a lull. john kasich getting a lot of applause. carly fiorina. here's what she's going to have to battle on the business front. her record at hewlett-packard. she was absent from the company in a very public way. she oversaw 30,000 lay

kennedy: carly fiorina has great diction. she is a good analyst, i think that is why she responds well in the moment. >> she did the best of the night, she has catapulted herd to top tier, next time she will be in main debate. this is someone you want on that stage. >> do you think it would have changed dynamic of later debate? >> yeah, i think, it is impossible to say she won't have made same impression, she was with second tees, you could see she seem only one that showed up with her suit oand came to the play. kennedy: reasons i said she was uneffecterraunemotional at top,d bush seemed thrust ires -- flustered, and to me that shows almost a sense of entitlement which is off putting to voters. >> they are experienced politicians too. carly is a political novice, she has run 1 but lost -- she has more political talent than any else on the stage. kennedy: you were not most impressed by her, you were impressed with rubio. >> i am a marco guy. i have a big old man crush, he was funny, he was feisty, he had a tan ask ate his whe

carly fiorina is one to watch.r for her to get in that top step somebody else has to drop out. and i don't know how that happens. >> yeah. she's very good. she's very impressive. my brother e-mailed me last night. he's like carly fiorina was fantastic. she crushed it. he's like i want her to be president. he gave her money weeks ago. that's saying something. >> if you donate money that is something something. >> let's see if actual lit cash flows now after this performance. both of you, what's up? [ overlapping speakers ] >> this is the most mature show on tv. yea. >> top that bret baier 6:00. >> so i think that's the most important thing that came out of this. of all the things yesterday, there's going to be jockeying for position. polls will move. carly fiorina who needs money. that's going to be the most important thing to her going forward. i think she just solidified herself going forward for a long time. i will tell you, with rick perry -- perry has money so he may stick around for awhile. but santorum needs

the real point is between trump and carly fiorina. if i have math right, close to 50% in iowa. 46, pretty close. what that says is three quarters of the political class being deprived by the electorate in iowa. there's a real throw the bums out attitude on both sides. trump is still leading. he still has a clear lead. there isn't anyone in the establishment mind set in both parties driving the electorate now. >> let's talk about carly fiorina. cnn has upcoming debate. they're taking just the top ten candidates in polls as fox did. they're using polls that go back as far as two months before the fox debate. a lot has changed since then. there's been many polls since then. they're saying she's skewed towards earlier polls and burned out of the debate, and that's unfair. what do you think? >> it's a real possibility because cnn has come up with cry ti -- with criteria bizarre beyond belief. polls before july. she's right about something else. the establishment of the party is not going to help her. they're the ones that sanction the deba

take a listen. >> i would rather have carly carly fiorina going our negotiation than john kerry maybed have got an deal where we didn't give everything aware. >> maybe he started out trying to insult her but turn out to be a real compliment. >> on that front he did a good job for himself last night. he and bobby jindal needed to stand out to make it in the top tier. i think carly fiorina outshined them so i'm not sure -- he didn't hurt himself but i'm not sure he jumped to the next level. >> he helped her. what are you doing? >> she was fine on her own but it's nice he did that. i'm sure she is grateful to the governor. >> she has a great story to tell. a ifed out as a second, blame the ceo of one of the biggest countries in america. >> a lot have good stories. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> big-name democrat turning his back on president obama's controversial nucleic -- nuclear deal with iran. reaction from the white house coming up. stick around for that. it wouldn't make sense if you turned on something in one room and it turned on everywhere else. but that's exactly how trad

jonah. >> my winner as i suggested earlier is carly fiorina. it's very rare especially in a forum like that you can be a breakout figure and i think she was. and my loser is barack obama. in part for the reasons that charles referenced. i thought his speech on iran was one of the most repugnant, divisive and irresponsibly cynical things i've seen in a foreign policy speech in my lifetime. he unleashed incredibly bad demons in this country, and he will be remembered very negatively for it by historians. >> winners and losers, kirsten. >> my winner is rubio for being the breakout at the debate. and my loser is hillary clinton because of the rise of carly fiorina. not that i necessarily think she's going to be the nominee and beat her, but i think having a really articulate woman who's clearly not afraid to challenge hillary could end up being a real problem for her. >> winners and losers. >> winners the gop. it has the strongest field of candidates since at least 1980. but that was overshadowed and distracted from by all the attention to trump ov

the thing that struck me about carly fiorina, a couple things.ne is how unafraid she is and how direct she is and how sort of fluent and precise she is when she wants to go on the attack. and at the big boy debate when donald trump started going after anchor megyn kelly who asked a very direct question about his offensive language towards women, not one of those other male candidates sort of said, you know, that went beyond the pale, donald. i guarantee you, if carly fiorina had been on that stage in the prime time debate she might have actually found a way to get in there and take donald trump on on his use of offensive language towards women. >> well, then he would be the subject of the tweets because megyn kelly is the subject of donald trump's tweets saying she bombed. >> absolutely. >> i guess we expected that. but does she do that now? i'll get you both to weigh in quickly on that. is her strategy to keep this momentum going go after the donald on that? gloria, just tag what you said. >> i think she has nothing to lose. she's in low single

about carly fiorina. i just realized if you listen to carly fiorina for more than ten minutes straight you develop a massive headache, she has zero chance. she's polling so much lower than him, why is he going after her, a few times, not just this tweet. i keep saying to myself, is this because she's the only other one on this stage that can say, i have business experience, a lot of it. she ran hewlett-packard. does he see that as a threat? >> i think so. i think carly fiorina will run circles around him at the cnn debate. just look at this. he's supposed to about the frontrunner. why is he deinvolving into this playground, childish, tit for tat, back and forth insults. why is he continuing to elevate her? it's path logical for him. >> it keeps him in the headlines. it keeps him leading hour after hour in cable news and the headlines and print. >> he is a classic narcissist. this inability to apologize ever or take responsibility for the words that come out of his mouth. it's pa thouthological. it's brill

you think carly fiorina did that? you think that means she'll be in the next big debate come september? >> carly fiorina was the headline from the first debate, her problem is only -- only 6 million people watched it. actually, 6 million is an incredible total for any primary debate, it's just that 24 million watched the primetime debate which is an all-time record. it shattered all records for primary debate. so the good news for carly fiorina is she has been included in virtually every discussion that i've seen on tv about the debate. that's going to help her, but she's got to find, first of all, some financial angels to help her raise money. she's got a small total right now, and, second, she has got to find ways to continue this momentum so she's in the headlines and she gets some additional points and public opinion polls because, once again, the second debate participants are going to be determined by the public opinion rankings. >> right. let me ask you, it's no surprise that john kasich did so well. he's got a

just as carly fiorina did so well this afternoon. somebody can step forward tonight and magically become a much more serious candidate if they do well. >> jeffrey can you remember a primary debate at this point in a presidential election that has gotten so much attention? it's incredible. >> never. >> whether you are a republican democrat no matter where you are people are going to be tuning in? >> a five popcorn nighter. no question. i have never seen anything like this. >> all that talk about specifics and donald trump. a difference talking specifics and, and knowing specifics. you can, you can know specifics and not necessarily feeling you need to go into them. i guess the -- the criticism of donald trump or the question does he really know the specifics. or are his answers designed to mask a deficit of nolknowledge. >> no. i don't think it is. this is who he is. the thing i would suggest. a guy that built an enormous global trump empire. you can't possibly do that and not have some executive experience. know when you need new kno

now that carly fiorina, she's made a name for herself at the debate.stion is can she capitalize on it and move ahead in the pack? >> that is the challenge. that was the amazing champllenge is she had to deliver in a way that it eclipsed everyone else. we know she can deliver under pressure. that's one of the important points of having debates. now the issue has changed. she has been low enough where she has not been attacked. she will receive critiques. seeing how she responds to those, i have a lot of expectations she will respond well. this is a woman who understands what it's like to be in a heated environment and how to deliver. she's running for president because she believes she can do the job. i expect her to be able to show she can be potus even in response to the media and any criticism. >> as a ceo, being in a powerful position nothing new to her. she doesn't come from a political background, she does have a fair share running for office. here is where i questionhearting her expertise. she won in a landslide running for california senate. wha
