which is, as chris wallace who was great in that interview that we just saw, chris wallace was right, that cost $5 trillion. just tell us how much and how you're going to cut that whole mortgage deduction and the other ducks. we will sit here and listen to it. it's really easy, in fact, sam, and it seems to me that this is all now part of the unmasking of paul ryan. the so-called serious man. he doesn't actually have any answers, sam. >> well, first of all, it is easy and we know it's easy because this is mitt romney's second position on text policy. this was a revision of his earlier position in the primary. he wanted to simplify it, make it more appealing to primary voters and so he said okay let's do a 20% across the board rate reduction and we'll fill in the gaps eliminating some deductions and exemptions. keep in mind that the american public are too bored by this. two weeks ago the senior adviser for the romney campaign said people are ready to know about the policies. that's when he said we're going to fill in the details. obviously they haven't done that. but you're right. it'

chris wallace made an attempt. i bet you the debate on wednesday night makes an attempt. this time 50 to 60 million people will be watching. if mitt romney doesn't give more details, he's going to look bad. >> why are they running with this new strategy of attacking the president on national security? >> well, as you said, it's kind of throw it against the wall and see what sticks strategy. they haven't been able to compare the president to a man who many think of as not a successful democratic president, that is jimmy carter, on domestic affairs. they tried, but they haven't succeeded. so they are desperate to make that carter analogy any way they can. they are probing for weaknesses in the record. what they should have been doing all along is running against president obama's record on the economy. that's what they should have down. the latest "washington post" poll shows for the first time, mitt romney is slightly better regarded on the question of who will do better leading the economy over the next four years than the president? that's through no good offices of mitt

let's go to chris wallace, in washington. chris, your thoughts? fact checking? >> yeah. let me start with the thought, first, bret. i have to say, i think i have watched almost every presidential and vice-presidential debate since the first four kennedy/nixon debates in 1960. thinking back, i don't believe i have ever seen a debate in which one participant was as openly disrespectful of the other as biden was to paul ryan tonight. that's what it was. you can talk about the smirk, smile, head shaking, the mugging. it was openly contemptuous and disrespectful. it wasn't just the facial gesture, it was the words. in the course of the night, he dismissed various arguments as malarky, a bunch of stuff, i don't know what these guys are talking about, loose talk and bluster. it was quite an extraordinary -- i have to say, from my experience, unprecedented performance in a vice-presidential debate, by one of the participants. on the specific -- >> chris, let me interrupt you real quick. what was amazing, some of the topics were -- when he was laughing and smirking, one of them,

>> shepard: chris wallace in washington. thanks a lot.ose items and more. you may have noticed during the course of the debate you have never seen anybody sweat. the last time we saw anybody sweat is nixon. there is a reason for that every one of these debate halls and we have been to everywhere one of them for the last three election cycles every one of them the temperature is set to 62 degrees. everybody in the building is freezing. except me because i like it that way. and the candidates. but everybody else is like this. so you won't see them sweat. much more to come on tonight's debate, of course, we are also covering the other big stories. the late breaking word that the raids have raided the companies suspected in that deadly meningitis outbreak even as the infections takes a double digit spike. as fox reports live from hempstead on long island, new york, hofstra university home of the second presidential debate. bob... oh, hey alex. just picking up some, brochures, posters copies of my acceptance speech. great! it's always good to

america can't afford more of the same. >> joining us, chris wallace. sounds like you had a mini-debate. >> yeah. two of the rising stars in their respective parties, martin o'malley, governor of maryland, who was thinking of running for president in four years and kelly ayotte from new hampshire. we talked about the economy, some of the arguments as to truth squatting. one of them whether or not romney, and you heard o'malley report it, romney's proposal as $5 trillion tax cut. it's a compelling argument and i hope people will watch. >> did aye i don't tell -- ayotte talk about the unemployment numbers that came out friday? >> yeah, part of that is because so many fewer people are working and if you had the same workforce participation, the unemployment would be almost 11%. o'malley says that it shows that the economy is finally growing and that -- as opposed to when obama came in and we lost 800,000 a month. we're creating now 114,000 this last month. >> governor o'malley, did he talk about the presidential shellacking in. >> well, he -- you know, the

here's chris wallace defending romney's flip-flop to governor martin o'malley. >> the president keeps saying that mitt romney is proposing a $5 trillion tax cut. that's not true. >> chris, wait a minute here. former governor is proposing a cut to income taxes including for the wealthiest of americans and i believe a 30% cut to corporate income taxes. >> any economist may debate whether that adds up to $4.9 trillion or $5 trillion. >> you're mischaracterizing the romney plan. you're saying, you're right, $5 trillion by lowering the tax rates, but he also talks about cutting loopholes. that's part of the plan. >> he won't say which loopholes and which deduction. >> joining me is e.j. dionne, author of the new book "our divided political heart." i've got so much heart. you know the details, the devil in the details, however, you want to say it. the fact of the matter is, we do not have the loopholes on the table that mitt romney is talking about. and i tweeted out tonight, could we actually elect a man who has not explained his tax proposal to the american people when we're sitting suppo

so chris wallace said as loop holes and deductions, that's sort of the key. and ryan basically said i don't have the time to get into all the math. >> now, now -- let me put you right there, steve. not joe biden, the vice president pacing him thursday night. he couldn't even get specifics there. the exchange between he and chris wallace on fox news. >> here's what we're saying -- >> we'll get to the deductions but the cut in tax rates. >> it's lower -- >> how much does that cost? >> it's revenue neutral. >> it's not neutral unless you take away the deduction. i'll get to that in a second. lowering the tax rately difference. >> >> you haven't give me the math. >> well i don't have the time -- it would take me too long to go through all of the math. >> it would take me too long to explain the math. this is a fox news sank ore saying you haven't given me the math. if he can't deal with that on a friendly station, how will he go up against vice president joe biden? >> two things. one, obviously he will now be ready for this question ready for the moderator, for b

but first, we want to go to chris wallace, who is in wash wawash with his own take on how the night wentris? >> reporter: hey. you know, i have been thinking and trying to put it in historical context, what tonight reminded me of more than any other debate, the first kerry/bush debate, where john kerry took the battle to george bush. and bush, the president, seemed very uneasy, didn't seem comfortable and like he wanted to be challenged. that's what i felt tonight. the challenger, mitt romney, seemed more presidential than the president. more in command of his facts, his arguems and his principles. i thought the answer on the government, re-- referring back to the constitution, veryesquive. obama seemed nervous, ill at ease and off his game and because of the fact that romney was always looking at obama when obama was talking to him, much better than when obama was talking and looking down, like he was being lectured. i think we have to talk about the debate and the debate rules and the moderator. you know, the idea -- they were very excited, the debate commissioned about the 15-minute p

, tamron. >> really. >> that's what he should have said to chris wallace.o keep governing ourselves like this. bravo. in fact, we should call the rnc, they may have an opening at the rate we're going they're going to have openings come november 7th. >> i'm not up for hire, but thank you very much. great pleasure. thank you. up next, new reports say romney's advisers are divided over whether to attack president obama over libya or stay focused on the economy? this as the obama administration is still under fire over its response to the deadly attacks in libya and over security concerns at the consulate even before the attack. former state department official joel ruben will join me live. first, there's a lot going on today. here are things we thought you should know. florida's republican party is filing an a elections fraud complaint after finding suspicious voter forms in even more counties in the state. as many as ten is the new number. the forms are tied to the strategic allied consulting, a firm hired by the republican party in that state to register vot

chris. but for some reason wallace wouldn't take no answer for an answer. (laughter) jim? >> well, it's not revenue neutral unless you take away the deduction. >> let me just -- >> you haven't given me the math. >> well, i don't have-- it would take me too long to go through all of the math. >> stephen: great answer. (laughter) why-- (cheers and applause) great answer why is it a great answer? well, it would take me too long to explain but trust me t was a great answer. (laughter) besides the american people don't want to hear math. that's why ryan seacrest's top 40 countdown didn't catch on until they added songs. (laughter) now obviously the math behind how romney can give everyone a 20% tax cut without bankrupting the government is just way too advanced for us regular folks to understand. it's unfathommably complex like string theory. you would have to grasp that the universe is actually 11 coexisted dimensions. eight of which are where romney shelters his wealth. (laughter) just trust him, just trust him. (applause) the middle class is broken down by the side of the ro

. >> it is 25 minutes past the hour coming up fox's chris wallace looking for answers over the attacks on the consulate in libya. >> this is the first u.s. ambassador killed since 1969 she gave the american people a story that turned out not to be true. >> we will have david axle rod coming up later on. the moderator speaking out about the candidate's debate last night what she's saying about joe biden's behavior that's coming up next. first on this day in history get this the firps sewed of i love lucy aired 1951. we will be right back. >> good morning. welcome back to "fox & friends first". >> i am heather nauert. it is half past the top of the hour. it is time for your 5@5:30. top five stories making news at this hour. admitting what many of us already know about joe biden. >> thank heavens we had the sanctioning in place in spite of the opposition. >> the vice presidential debate moderator commenting on his debate tperformance saying he ws quote too big. it is clear biden was acting like he was at a campaign event. >> that's one way to put it. >> a collision for two navy vessels. i

megyn: that was chris wallace. editor of fox news sunday. getting some attention with his comments last night about vice president joe biden. chris wallace should know because he has seen just about every vice presidential debate over the last five decades. do you agree? peter johnson junior sees a tactic in the vice president's approach. >> the tactic was to provide energy and excitement to a failing campaign in many respects. the debate that obama had 10 days ago, it was devastating to the campaign. so instead, we have this episodic smiling, laughing, smirking, contempt, as chris wallace was saying, and it became almost a pathology. it became more than a strategy. it became almost obsessive behavior. this kind of compulsive behavior that we could not control. he could not control himself. speaking to people, they said i really couldn't watch parts of it because i was trying to listen to congressman ryan, and i would show him on the split screen, and it showed that he was having an absolute meltdown. there was a lot of it was offensive. fra

our own chris wallace fact checked it. >> he reduced it on federal land and stopped us from drilling on virginia. the more moratorium and he has not improved the pipeline. >> there was a couple other moments when he said $5 trillion in deficit. this is after president obama was trying to lecture governor romney on the economics. five trillion in deficits that don't add up. balanced budgets when he went through balancing budgets and he was running the olympics and business. i thought it was devastating for the president. you can see it on the president's face. >> you can see it and the american people can see it. governor romney inherited a debt of $3 million. and when he left office there was a $2 million rainy day fund, a surplus. he herded 5.6% unemployment and reduced that to the people of massachusetts. household income went up $5,000 when he was governor. >> it was the first time governor romney said we have fewer americans working along with pointing out 23 million unemployed americans. he also said something was interesting. if we had the same labor participation rate, real un

a tip of the hat to chris wallace for challenging the political spin. sunday he asked how the republican nominee could cut taxes 0% without increasing the deficit or providing details? >> what we have said is we will pay for them by eliminating loopholes. >> those are questionable. some are blogs. some from the aei which is an independent group. >> these are credible sources. >> one is from a guy who is a blog from a guy who with was a top adviser to george w. bush. hardly nonpartisan studies. >> some print folks had noted he's not been independent studies but wallace didn't let it go by without challenge. here's one about crime fighting in the digital age. the pottstown mercury has set up a board on pinterest with updated mug shots of suspects wanted by police. tloek local authorities report a 58% jump in arrests a few months after the site went up. readers can post comments that may provide the police with valuable tips. >>> the "new york times" magazine suspended andrew goldman for a month for something he wrote on twitter. in a times interview he as

chris wallace just fact checked it. governor romney was right, the president inaccurate. >> he reduced leasing on federal land and stopped us from drilling off the coast of va vachl a moratorium in the gulf of mexico. he has not approved and stopped the key stone exxon pipeline from being felt. >> there were moments saying $5 trillion in did he have sits. that don't add up. $16 trillion national debt. a road to grief. i balanced budgets he went through. and... when he was running the olympics and business. i -- i thought it's devastating for the president. you can see it on his face. >> you can see it. i think the american people could see contrast in the records and experience, governor romney inherited a debt and when he left there was a surplus. he reduced unemployment for the people of mats massachusetts. house hoild incomes went up $5,000. >> the first time the governor said we have fewer americans working. >> yes he said something interesting. if we had the same labor participation rates, the real unemployment is
