colmes would evade the question.hink that would be obvious to the millions of people watching the debate if the president doesn't answer that question. >> correct. here's the problem with that strategy, alan. we have the sitting commander and chief, his name is barack obama. mitt romney is not the commander and chief yet. >> bill: i don't think you are going to be able to petty fog that colmes. you have got to have the commander and chief answer. four dead americans including u.s. ambassador and two navy seals. what broke down and why is there a coverup? >> that's two general though. >> what are they covering up? >> you can't do that. if you accuse the president of a coverup or a lie, you are going to lose with the american people. >> you can state it more diplomatically. >> why did your u.n. ambassador mislead the world for seven days? >> and why? who ordered it and why? >> bill: colmes, of course. >> during the bush administration there were nine attacks. >> bill: bush administration? ladies and gentlemen, let's he

crowley and colmes on that. then imu thisorning o the fox business channel. might enjoy this one, upcomg >> bill: rock in a hard place segment. new poll has president obama leading mitt romney 49 to 45. the president's lead is primarily due to women voters. they're breaking for him 56-2 right now. while men favor romney 52-42. no question the obama campaign is targeting the ladies. >> i find such a champion in president obama and which is why i passionately support him, specifically because i'm a woman. >> he also has the story that i can tell my daughter because it shows that no matter where you start out, you can work hard and you can do whatever you put your mind to. >> it's a story that touches me and one that is very familiar to me with how i was raised, you know, and our mom was a single parent. she had spectacular dreams for herself and us girls. >> bill: with us now, fox news analyst monica crowley and alan colmes. where are women breaking for the president? >> barak obama is leeing hugely among unmarried women, but among married women, romney is actu

colmes, who should be fired at the a.p.? >> nobody should be fired. you want to fire the guy who took the dukakis picture in the tank. what about the biker chick on his lap? >> bill: you know, you're much smarter than i am. you're comparing the biden picture with the biker chick on his lap and the michael dukakis picture where he put himself in the tank? are you comparing those two pictures? >> yes, i am saying -- >> bill: you are comparing them. >> a.p. provided six different pictures. >> bill: wait, wait. now, here is how that is so grossly unfair. romney had no idea that little girl is behind her. the little girl was looking at something completely different. so romney did not put himself in a tank. and he did not put a biker chick on his lap. that's the difference. this is a total accident that this happened. the associated press captured it and then in a very sleazy way, used it to denigrate mr. romney. >> glenn beck's web site say they provided six pictures. >> bill: that never, ever should have been published. >> the editors who chose to publis

cal thomas, jim pinkerton and alan colmes. thanks liberals for saving america. i'm jon scott. fox news watch is on right now. >> it was six weeks as today that terrorists attacked the benghazi. now, we obtained e-mail alerts that was put out by the state department as the attacks unfolded. >> 13 days to go before america votes, e-mails show that our top leaders were aware terrorists were taking credit for attacking the u.s. mission in libya, videotape day it happened. while the white house is now saying there was still confusion there are new questions what could have been done in the early hours as the attack was still ongoing. >> jon: cbs tuesday and fox news on wednesday. new details about the terror attacks in benghazi libya. every day this past week we seem to have learned something new about who knew what. e-mails detailing what was going on in benghazi and who was to blame. why did it take so long for the media to pay attention to this story and why did the white house seem to spin it differently? charles krauthammer shared his view earlier. >> they might have calculati

alan colmes is host of alan colmes radio show and author of the book, thank the liberals for saving americahave at it. tucker, how do you think candy did last night? >> pretty shocking. i say someone who likes candy crowley personally. she through the president a lifeline, there is no question. she inserted herself again and again in the debate. this is not a joke. not a time to play cable pundit during the middle of the debate. at most decisive moment in the debate threw out something fundamentally dishonest. the obama administration for two full weeks made the case aggressively in public again and again and again this was not an organized terror act. this was response to the youtube video. there is no dispute about that she tried to make the opposite case on the stage last night and really hurt romney in the process. i think total outrage what she did last night. martha: alan. >> what did she say that wasn't true? she wasn't giving opinion. president did say in the rose garden the day after the attacks no act of terror will ever stop the united states. he used the word, this obsession rep

with us now monica crowley and alan colmes. everybody knows it's about the video. >> well, i think it was partly about the video. it may not be fully about the video. we have a cia report that was out on december 15th that said it was about the video. david kirkpatrick of the "new york times" talked to people on the ground said it was about the video. that was one of the components that it was about. >> bill: are you kidding me. >> no. i'm not kidding you. >> bill: did you not hear the sworn testimony in front of congress? >> how would you explain the cia report. >> bill: i don't have to explain anything. the president's national security advisor testified in front of congress that it was a terror act and had nothing to do with the video. and one day after the cia briefing report that the president read said the same thing are you kidding me. >> the cia said the video played a part of it. >> bill: on the 12th he was handed a document, the president, that he read that said it was an outright terror attack, and that's the consens

alan colmes is the host of the alan colmes radio show.r news watch panel today to take this issue on. jim, what could possibly go wrong? >> this looks pretty good from the obama administration's point of view, if you go to the media research center's website you can see that candy crowley appears to have sort of orthodox beltway liberal views on gun control and the gender gap and so on. i think things look pretty good for obama, just like they did for vice president biden last week with martha raddez. jon: alan? >> i'm laughing like biden. jon: you're interrupting like biden. >> didn't the profile show that candy crowley was likely a republican and worked for doyle or something? i don't see people complaining about that. to get inside her head and try and criticize her before the debate takes place h the agreement which you mentioned, jon is between the two camps i'm not sure that candy crowley signed onto that agreement. so, you know, can we at least wait until it happens before we are critical of the moderator. jon: we are pointing out

alan colmes, host of the alan colmes show and the author of thank the liberals for saving the economy they should. >> you find that funny. gregg: i surely do. what about it, jim, media by as, is ryan's point fair? >> since 1986 when the authors li chter, lichter and roctor said the media were libya by 4-1. i don't think that is in dispute. it's only if it spills over into their professional work. i think on that store the evidence from 2012 is pretty clear. i'm looking at a headline from the daily beast, why mitt romney is trapped by his neglect any of narrative. who wrote that -- who created that narrative? it wasn't romney or ryan it was the media, they've done it to him. gregg: alan let me cite a couple of things. "the washington post" opls buds man admitted a obama by as at one time. and reporters were scolded and urged to be more balance and fair and not so proobama. he aop lee admitted the newspaper's vie last. isn't that an admission of it? >> that's why it's good for them to have a public editor to ride herd on just like "the new york times" does. gregg: is it system i be i ca

megyn: joining me now is alan colmes. he is host of the alan colmes radio show. and mike gallagher is a fox news contributor and author of 50 things liberals love to hate. this has managed to set things up fire. now, some are saying that she needs to resign because she apparently doesn't get that four americans were assassinated and that is why people are upset, not because of mitt romney in the view of these conservative bloggers. >> well, i think that stephanie cutter is borrowing a page from the joe biden playbook. the best defense is a good offense. i was very telling in the clip that you made from cnn where she said you are asking me about libya, but i hope we can talk about the debate because we're here for the debate. she wants to have a conversation about anything but libya. what we have here is a full-scale foreign policy crisis for the of rocco barack obama administration. the death of our own ambassador under barack obama's watch. the way the obama camp administration lied about this, if you argue and yell at you demonize bret baier nec bret baier, are

oakland and the oakland colm have apo >>> a noisy night in the east bay. city of oakland and coliseum have apologized following a late night rave event on saturday. east bay residents from oakland, alameda flooded local police departments with complaints over the beyond wonderland event. the police department received so many calls they told them to call oakland dispatch. lasted until 2:00 a.m. >>> a key traffic artery is back open in southern california. construction on interstate 405 finished hours ahead of schedule last night. this is a live look at the highway there. the main project of the bridge went smoothly. >> you might think it's carmageddon around san francisco this week. >> add to transportation problems the next couple days expect delays starting tomorrow. >> extra people along the water front. and golden gate park will be crowded for bluegrass. throw in ace playoff game. the 49ers and bills. going to be busy. >> maybe stay out of the car. >> i've been talking about this. i know sense this past weekend, how are you going to get out of the city

joining me now alan colmes, the host of the alan colmes show and mike gallagher who is a syndicated radiot and a fox news contributor. let's put this in perspective. we have the state department saying we knew it was terror. we have the administration saying intel sources told us it was about a video. we now have -- we already had leaks that some intel sources said, no it's terror, but we didn't know whether somebody higher up in intel was telling the government that it was about a video. now we hear from the cia station chief in libya was saying terror. the stories are socon tphreubgting it's verso so conflicting. it's hard to keep straight. where are we on the eve of this information. >> on the eve of this third and final presidential debate which will be centered on foreign policy americans are well aware that we have a foreign policy disaster, a scandal, a huge controversy, if you will. i mean if you were scripting this out from a political standpoint it couldn't come at a better time for governor romney, who next week is going to have an opportunity to hone in on this like a laser. a

alan colmes, host of the alan colmes radio show and author of the book, thank the lib liberals for savingdo you say to this. >> i like to hear at the gaggle in terms of going to address it. in terms of transpair enaresy obama released bundlers, tax returns and white house logs. mitt romney has not been as transparent in general as a candidate. if the conservatives like tucker if they're upset about obama about this have the same about the tax returns and bundlers that mitt romney is not addressed and he has not run a transparent campaign. martha: it is a interesting story and if you read what the editor had to say, tucker. we've been pursuing the president to try to get this interview with him. "the des moines register" is very well-regarded regional newspaper in this country, very influential. they tracked him down. the white house called yes you can talk to him tomorrow morn and it has to be off the record. romney's similar interview was on the record. they're scratching their heads at "the des moines register" sounds like. why would you knot let us release this, your thoughts? >> class

joining me now, alan colmes, host of the alan colmes show.uthor of, thank the liberals for saving america and why you should. radio host and fox news contributor mike gallagher, who is author of, 50 things liberals hate. fun doing that. >> love to hate. love to hate. megyn: i mentioned that stossel example because it, i mean that is troubling. that is troubling and we have no reason to believe stossel is just inventing this. and it speaks to a larger point about what happens when the government gets involved in trying to solve people's problems and is it too lazy in terms of just telling them to sign up for a check that is funded by the federal taxpayers? mike, your thoughts? >> this was one of the great moments of a debate where it had many great moments for mitt romney. in fact i'm sure the sun is shining more brightly where i'm sitting than alan in the catacombs. megyn: it literally is. >> i told you. that is a metaphor. but, here's the point. this was a debate where the ideology was allowed to shine. again, the metaphor but the truth of t

alan colmes is the host of the alan colmes radio show.he author of the new book, thank the liberals for saving america. thank you both for being here today. alan, let me start with you. does that reflect a campaign out of its own ideas? >> let me back up for a second. do we forget that romney called obama a liar? mitt romney before the dedate said he will have to tell so many lies i have to straighten stiff out the debate. referred to obama during the debating suggested obama wasn't telling the truth. this is not a one-way street. let's not act as if one campaign is doing it. word liar was not actually used. no way problem any can make the math add up if he was going to be revenue neutral. in one sentence he said he would not lower taxes on the upper income americans and rather not raise taxes on upper income americans but he would lower the tax rate from 35, 40 to 35% or to 25%. how can both be true? you can't say i'm lowering tax without lowering tax. >> you're raising revenue by eliminating loopholes. >> he didn't say what loopholes he

whatever used to call him, if we can get the syrians to stop this four letter expletives, then that will colmesa situation and what was interesting about that comment and bush did not like it particularly after 2003 in and 2004. i asked assad buffett commented i said what did you think of the comments i've president lush? again half expecting him to say oh typical this, he said i love it. i loved it because that means they are thinking about me. they are worried about me, which that is part of syrian foreign policies is having some sort of -- is a fairly weak countries militarily. the leverage they have is the support of hezbollah and iran and the support of hamas and the palestinian territory. that is their leverage. that is why there were no negotiations from the beginning. and so, that whole thing was very enlightening. is important that syria has more leverage. >> don't you think he is fulfilling his fathers dreams, but he went in and ruthlessly got rid of people. we now have the same thing going on which seems pretty silly. it's almost a psychological thing with him. >> that is a good ques

alan colmes is host of the alan colmes radio show and he has a new book out "thank the liberals for saving you first, alan because i know what you're going to say. you're going to say that the mainstream media are not in the tank for president obama and never have been. >> okay, thank you. jon: no, that's -- >> really don't buy the right-wing pai pair paranoia, because liberals are liberal and are in the tank for president obama. they follow what is in their interest that is going to sell papers or get clicks online or get vires. they do what will get them attention. i don't about it automatic set up that all of a sudden the media has turned against someone they automatically favored up until about four days ago. jon: jim, what is your counter argument? >> well, i mean i think that the media, if they really wanted to sell papers and get clicks and get eyeballs in the nielsens they would have pursued a lot of the obama scandals. >> scandals. >> david plouth getting a hundred million dollars before a month he goes to the white house. look at this debate now. i think what you really saw there

is host of the alan colmes radio show. thank you for your new book, "thank the liberals for saving america." [laughter] jim, are you one of those who is critical of the job, for instance, that candy crowley did in moderating the last debate, and is that simply a case of conservatives saying she handed the debate to the president? >> no, i don't think so at all. i think anybody who said it was look for her to try and tackle mitt romney. look, i think bob schieffer who i think is a good guy and a gentleman has a choice to make tonight. if he is like jim lehrer in the first debate, which is safe, play it low key and mild, um, then he'll get clobbered by the main stream media whereas candy crowley and martha raddatz were much more in the face of the republican presidential and vice presidential nominees. and they've been lauded. cnn's actually doing ads praising crowley, how proud they are of her, and so i think that's schieffer's choice. do i want to go low key or get in the face of mitt romney and be praised? his choice. jon

. $20 billion the colmes of this storm. >> shepard: construction workers and on and on.p in unemployment as a result of this. markets were closed for the second time. try tomorrow. there is no power downtown. i don't know had you they are going to do it. >> hammer pitt telling me tonight that he is selling pressure tomorrow. lots of volume as people try to get trades done. remember the last time that the exchange was closed for trading for weather, 1888. so you have got to go back a ways to see something like this. >> shepard: downtown, i mentioned there is no power. there is no cell service. there are no restaurants. there is no water because the water is electric in this city. >> right. >> shepard: there is no transportation. there is nothing. >> there is going to be backup. arthur left sec chairman criticized for not having a backup plan. yes we do. this is apparently what they are going to be putting in place tomorrow. >> shepard: good to see you. hospital in new york had to evacuate hundreds of patients after it lost power and backup generators did nothing. some of

and alan colmes. nice to see both of you.lan is there another interpretation of what the vice president said? he did backtrack after it came out. >> it's a gaffe. taken out of context it doesn't sound good. but it was clear to me he was referring to the notion that the policies leading up to where we are now is what caused the middle class to have problems. and they are coming out of it. if you look at the metrics. stock market up, it means 401ks are up. the price of homes are going up which is good for the homeowner. you have got a net increase in job creation. you can see the things albeit slowly are getting better. jamie: but he didn't say any of that. >> i wish he had. >> the great thing about joe biden, while he tends to exaggerate, he actually tells the truth every once in a while. he said in several interviews he sees himself as the truth teller-in-chief in this administration. he is right. the middle class has been buried the last four years. look at the price of gas in america. $1.83 on inauguration day. now knock on
