as you said is cnbc has been universally panned on this but everybody including people at cnbc.'s no question it could have be produced better and it would have made a better debate. all of us have biassed. the second thing, the candidates complaints on this. everybody loves to blame the refs. who on that stage has been hurt by this? ted cruz hasn't been hurt. donald trump hasn't been hurt. the only person hurt by the debates is jeb bush and he hasn't complained once. he's been hurt by there. we are becoming a culture of tribes. in the course of that, as our founding fathers, george washington and john adams said, when we fall into factions and we fall into political parties, that's the danger. one of the only things that keeps us from that is a free and vigorous press. yes they can do something different and improve that. i'm sure all the networks saying we don't want to do it that way, but the question is do we want to have a free press? >> do you believe there was a perception of liberal bias? did you hear it in the questions and sigh it in the comments and the tones? >> i di

that cnbc debate really moved the needle especially no marco rubio. and. >>> coming up, are the pundits hailing marco rubio and almost writing off jeb bush? what about donald trump complaining about the polls? and later, bob woodward diving back into watergate. . >>> the media consensus is -- >> let's talk about jeb and the deathwatch right now. it's not looking good. the donors are running for the exits now. >> if they're, kind of lack of a better term, a deathwatch. >> last night in boulder, in that room it felt like a wake. >> there are those who says that decision is terminal for this campaign. >> i knew it was going to be a long journey, but to suggest it's terminal? c'mon, that's pretty funny. >> there is headlines -- >> it's not on life support. we have the greatest money and organization. we're doing fine. >> mercedes schlapp, andrea mccarron, and joe trippi are with us. should media be saying that? >> i think it's terribly unfair and highly editorial. there are nine candidates with poll numbers lower than jeb bush. the voters have a long time

and that was a mistake that the cnbc people made. >> jimmy: but now it's a big deal. now they're signing letters. they're not gonna go. jeb bush wants to do telemundo then donald trump says no way. he's not gonna do it. it's like -- it's insane. it's great for us. great for comedy, but -- [ light laughter ] >> the next debate is next tuesday on the fox business channel. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so they're prepping now for it. i think you'll see a different presentation, but as we said in

. >> on the buzz beater this sunday, the republican party declares war on nbc after the debate on cnbc with the moderators sounding snarky and hostile. >> is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign? they said you have as much chance of cutting taxes as flying away from the podium by flapping your arms. when you look at the average in the national polls the leader is drum truck. do you see someone with the moral authority to unite the country. >> such a nasty question. but, thank you, governor. >> i have to tell you the truth even in new jersey what you are doing is called rude. >> the questions that have been asked so far in the debate, illustrate why the american people don't trust the media. >> the democrats have the ultimate super pac, called the mainstream media. >> why is the debate being so widely panned? is the press that declared marco rubio calling him the winner looking for a death march for jeb bush. why does donald trump call the media scum? >> we have our new media microscope using cutting edge technology on how the candidates are covered on television, radio,

the real loser of that debate turned out to be cnbc and the real winners, i think cnbc, let's give them credit, they did one thing i didn't think was possible. they brought all the republican candidates together on that stage. they brought us together in spirit and unity in our equal contempt about the manner in which that debate was conducted. >> i really appreciated what you did during that debate because you, governor christie, marco rubio, and ted cruz got it all started. you guys took on the media, but you also did something that impressed me, you said i'm wearing a trump tie and everybody up here would do a much better job than our current president or any of the democrats running for president. i'm sure that's not easy to do when you want the job, but you did it, anyway. >> well, look, i think all of us are trying out to be the quarterback, but i want to get the job because i play a better game, not because i broke the legs of the other people trying out. the fact is i don't like anybody -- >> you're not planning on breaking any fellow republicans' legs in the course of this? tha

first on cnbc. tune into an extended edition of worldwide exchange at midday for that specific interview. shares trading higher after the swiss based company published it's second quarter results. rose nearly 25% in the last quarter compared to last year. they now expect to post full year revenue of at least $645 million. >> great to have you this morning. >> pleasure. >> how difficult was it to overcome the challenging of operating in russia and ukraine at the height of the crisis there? >> well we started in russia and ukraine and we had the majority based on those two countries so it was a challenge but also an opportunity to change the business. so transfer the company from local to global and currently enjoying that. so actually think it was a good exercise. >> so the relocation worked pretty smoothly but still a large part of the engineers or the programmers are still in ukraine and russia. >> about 50%. >> about 50%. >> so you're still benefitting from the fact that you're paying wages there

just a reminder that cnbc will be speaking to the ceo in a first on cnbc interview coming your way tonight. >> staying with pharma philidor that faced backlash over it's relationship with valeant is closing it's doors. last week some pharmacy benefit managers including cvs cut tie with the company. they claimed they propped up it's sales. it will continue to fill prescriptions while helping patients transfer their prescriptions to other pharmacies. >> we'll break down the numbers from standard chartered and ubs and we're heading back to hear more from ubs's ceo. >> let's remind you of the headlines. u.s. stocks close higher lead by the small cap index while the nasdaq 100 hits a 15 year high. call of duty meets candy crush. blizzard is buying king digital for $5.9 million in a deal it hopes will expand it's mobile footprint and the pharmacy operator closes it's doors amid the fall out from its relationship with valeant. >> lots of m&a news today. a huge one when it comes to beers. molson coors in advanced talk to buy sab miller's advanced stake in it's joint venture. a move that could help

cnbc was exposed looked nasty and unprepared. candidates should be focus canned on their message not poor little me. if you can't handle those questions. some candidates did, the others did not do well. you shouldn't be in office. if you look at reagan. reagan had tremendous media bias. he didn't complain he really kicked their butts. that's what the republicans need to do. the rnc should have fixed this a long time ago. there is no excuse, eric, it is unforgivable that they let this happen. >> jessica, before you answer that i want to look at jeb bush unt -- you told candidates you have to get better than. this 8 more debates. do what other candidates do rudely interrupt. not answer the questions that are asked and hopefully the debate moderators will actually ask more substantive questions as well. it's going fine. >> are you having any fun. >> oh yeah you saw it having lots of fun. >> was that snarkiness? >> a little sense of humor. we know he has a good fantasy football team i think. i'm not into fantasy football can jeb bush

. >> it turns out they can't handle a bunch of cnbc moderators. if you can't handle those guys, you know, then i don't think the chinese and the russians are going to be too worried about you. >> those gop candidates are all looking at brand new data from nbc news. a new poll with its brand new front-runner and in a big way. nbc's tracie potts is live from washington. tracie, which candidates are waking up to good news this morning? >> certainly ben carson even more than we've already seen. and the poll tells us the economy is still the number one issue with voters. but they're split over whether democrats or republicans should be in charge here. >> new from our nbc "wall street journal" poll, americans are frustrated. just over a quarter think we're headed in the right direction. more than half think the deck is stacked against them. more than half would fire their member of congress. >> you can't just tell congress you're fired and go to commercial break. the biggest surprise, ben carson at 29%. the biggest lead of any republican so far. >> what

vanity fair, how cnbc lost it own gop debate. atlanta journal-constitution, the spin room consensus -- cnbc lost the debate. redstate, cnbc dumpster fire debate. is some of that criticism fair? >> i think -- >> you were there? >> sure. they could have omitted some of those questions. a tone in couple of them were a little harsh. but if you look at the transcript, there were a lot of very tough questions posed to those candidates. and in several cases rather than answer the question they trashed the media. >> the right questions for the debate? >> i think some could have been omitted. there were also, a question posed to ben carson about a question to marco rubio, does he really like his job, and he didn't really answer it. why he would allow the debt ceiling to raised? >> how should the media react to this? >> what would the republicans have if not to have the media to some of the questions were gotcha questions. i think that the fox debate, the very first debate, was a real model, because those questions were substantive, they w

in fact, republican ted cruz, who led the rally against the cnbc moderators was still talking about it while on a hunting trip to akron, iowa last weekend. >> the democratic primaries are moderated by liberal democrats and that's perfectly fine. that's what you would expect. but i have suggested a very, very simple rule, how about the moderators of republican primaries actually be republicans? stacey: we will bring in dennis on this discussion, does he have a point? >> i have always said that the constituency of the moderator is the voting public and the job of a debate moderator is to try to get as much information as possible and draw distinctions as clearly a month candidates -- among candidates. >> you are nodding your head. an answer for a question. these are based on policy and making the candidate as much as possible, getting an answer to that question. sometimes that means you play the devil's advocate, maybe it's adjusting a point of view and asking the candidate to tell you why it is wrong, that does not mean you insult the candidate. candidates, they must defend their candid

cnbc had widespread jeers for its debate. last night the candidates at least seemed pretty happy. >> i thought it was great. i thought the moderators were elegant. i thought the questions were really, really on point. >> so i think the moderators stuck to the issues. i think we each had time to make our point. >> i thought it was a good debate. i had more time to express my opinions. i had a few opinions i wanted to express. >> let's bring in our senior media correspondent. brian seltzer. >> hey, john, hey, christine, the reviews are in. they're positive for the fox network. better than they were for the cnbc debate d. moderators of the cnbc were almost universally criticized for the tone of their questions and letting the debate get out of control. on fox business, it was a more controlled debate. there were only a few times it seemed like the candidates took over. one of those times was when donald trump acted like a moderator. here's what he said about jeb bush. >> they moved a million-and-a-half people out. we have no cho

cnbc will be speaking to the ceo, a first on cnbc interview from new york tonight. >> right. it's game on for activision and king digital. the call of duty creator is buying the group for $5.9 billion in a bid to tap into one of the largest group of mobile gamers in the world. the all cash transaction is at a 26% premium to king's closing price yesterday but below the level at which king went public last year. now the mobile gamer has been struggling to recreate the success of candy crush saga which still creates for more than a third of its revenues. overall spending on king titles fell 13% year on year for the last quarter. >> yeah i was wondering why you got candy crush, bubble witch and farm hero saga. >> i'm such a pro. that's why i went for these ones. >> i got the hardcore gaming side. >> that's what you do all weekend, right? shoot them ups and that kind of thing. >> i'm into those kind of games apparently. so we got call's all just start behind me. the official proceedings just about to get underway. a lot of the big names that you mentioned actually present here. fa

even cnbc said the last debate, it was their debate, they said i won the debate. i like the debates -- >> let me ask you a very important question. >> i like the debates. i don't really care that much, to be honest. this is more of an issue for other people. the networks are making a fortune with the debates. i think they should give money to the wounded warriors and to the veterans. they are making a fortune. they used to have 2 million people watching. now they are having 24, 25 million watching and even though it's because of trump and i won't say that, 24, 25 million people watching, they should give some of the money to the wounded warriors and to the veterans. >> let's say you become president. let's talk about the first 100 days. what would you do specifically on the economy? what would you do on health care, the borders, what would you do about putin and this horrible iranian deal? walk me through those 100 days how fast you think you could act and get on that path, as you say, to make america great? >> well, i'd do a lot of things very quickly. one good t

the republican national committee yanked a scheduled debate from nbc to punish the network for the cnbc debate. but no candidate has talked about not participating. quite the opposite, everybody wants to play and grumble about the proceedings. more from michael shure about tonight's debate. >> the way that the republicans were united, how it was at fix, we all don't like the way that the cnbc debate happened. we want to revolt about the questions and how they put it on. but when they got to the table, and we want to figure out how to make it better, they all had different ideas, and they all didn't sit down at the same table. ben carson, his reason for being there was to get more time and more statements. and chris christie said ask me anything, and i'll answer. and jeb bush wanted more time to answer substantive questions, and they all came with different ideas and all left unhappy. nothing happened there, and donald donned said that he would negotiate directly with the networks themselves. but when you talk about the debates, you talk about having nine debates, only nine debates. last

. >> i wanted to hear that from you and the other candidates at the cnbc debate. they promised us we would hear about the money, the economy, and the jobs and we didn't hear any of that. we heard fantasy football and how's your comic book character, and you say that you were appreciative of the cnbc moderators and how they handled the debate. how can you be appreciative and the rest of them had a horrible time with them? >> look, i've always been a republican that's willing to step on toes. for me in the debate i got to speak more than i was able to in the second debate and frankly, i thought the first debate was good. they didn't ask me any questions that were beneath me or i felt were below the belt. let me tell you this, i told sean hannity and i'll tell you, i rather come on with you and spend 15 minutes with you asking me any tough question you want to and people can find out who i am. harry truman could not be elected president on a 30-second response. >> what's your biggest weakness? which other candidate is crazy. one about the import/export banks, student

and told cnbc he would promote replacing income tax and the end of the i.r.s. with a higher sales tax. what do you think of that? tom: honestly, i'm happy for huckabee because this is a guy -- i think he's someone with very little credibility. and i would prefer that we had a system where the tax code is massively simplified and more efficient. you can have lower rates and a bit for revenue. at the same time you cannot just have a sales tax. that would kill poor people in america. pat: you could put a 20% tariff on all imports, you get $600 billion and eliminate the corporate tax. why didn't somebody ask trump, you seem to be a protectionist. would you put on a tariff and if yes, how high? ask the others what they think. eleanor: i don't like to criticize my colleagues and journalists. pat: go ahead. john: feel free. eleanor: you don't want to just their stump speech. that's what they'd like to do, through. again, this was supposed to be they should have drilled down on economic issues. if they did a round of everybody what they thought of the federal reserve,
