the publisher of safety, and fox news contributor, doug schoen pollster for bill clinton, and, doug,sident clinton at a time in which he faced a very similar situation and talk to us about what happened? >>guest: in 1999, as many remember, the president made a decision to bomb serbia given the incursion that the serbs made into kosovo. the president, i remember, anguishing about the decision, but saying basically, that after the brutality four years prior and the abuse by the serbs of the norms of civil and human rights, the president, after the late holbrook offered warning after warning milosovic, he actioned and it led ultimately in a year to regime change and i am proud to have been part of both efforts one of the finest moments of president clinton's career and i like to be able to take a small amount of credit for regime change in serbia. >> gregg: as you should. so he was hailed then and now for an act of courage in doing that. >>guest: absolutely. >> gregg: justin, let me go over to you. we talked to our correspondents in israel and one said that they are saying this isn't an

doug schoen was an adviser to former president bill clinton, monica crowley's a radio talk show host,. welcome to you both. >> thank you. martha: doug, why? >> look, there is some media bias, i would be the first one to acknowledge that. but bottom line, i think ted cruz, martha, got a lot of criticism because what he's doing is is impractical, it hurts the republican cause, and you may call him heroic, but ultimately he's president obama ma's best ally. half the republican caucus is against him. it's not going to work, and ultimately, it's going to raise the democrats' numbers not to fund the government. martha: that addresses the question of whether or not it was an effective effort politically. >> i think that's why he got criticized as he did. martha: the treatment, you know, none of the major networks covered ted cruz's filibuster in the evening when it began, then in the morning when everybody was talking about this thing, i think you better get on it, little by little, you saw more folks taking a look. >> yeah. and the standard is effectiveness, wendy davis' filibuster didn't a

doug schoen, former pollster for president clinton, fox news contributor. monica crowley, syndicated talk show host and fox news contributor. good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. bill: what did the prime time address get us? >> i am not sure he made any progress at all. i think argument is the prime time address lost ground with the american people, lost ground with congress and lost ground internationally as we see in today's "new york times" op-ed, who is controlling america right now? bill: it isn't supposed to go that way and you call america together in their living rooms to deliver an address you want cause and effect. where was that. >> this was not cause and effect t was buying time. the president was certain to lose a congressional vote on authorizeing a strike on syria. which is why what assad said was right. he was responding to what the russians did, not our threat. we didn't have a threat. our threat was effectively off the table. this bought the president time. itallowed him to regroup and ultimately making it much less likely, bill we'

let's bring in doug schoen, former advisor to president bill clinton, radio talk show host.h are fox news contributors. good morning you guys. good to see you here. start with the g20 meeting, monica. >> i think everybody will read the body language as they did back in june when it was really uncomfortable between obama and putin and look, there are a lot of very thorny issues between our country. we have snowden and the nsa and now we have syria. syria and one of bashar assad's biggest patrons is russia and of course putin is protecting his client state. he is protecting bashar assad. so the conversation will be very thorny indeed. of course remember that the russians are leading the charge in the u.n. security council again. martha: exactly. >> against any kind of military strike. martha: putin said you couldn't possibly do something like this without coalition backing and the united nations. of course he knows he has a veto vote on. >> exactly. the really sad thing from my point of view, that american first, is that the united states is losing prestige and influence aroun
