joining me now, fox news contributor fred barnes. , fred, i guess with news hike today, you don't want a press conference, do you? [laughter] >> no. she obviously doesn't want one. you know, the strategy of hillary clinton has been to have a low profile, to stay in the background to make donald trump the issue, that he'll be front and center, and she can just take pot shots at him. well, that's not working right now, because her issues are front and center, and she's the issue in ways she doesn't like. david: and he's not, you know, he's not just sitting back and waiting for her. he's going out to mexico, and he's going tomorrow to detroit can. he's been out every day. this guy has a lot of energy. >> he has, you know? he's in detroit -- [laughter] he's in mexico city, he's in phoenix. he is. but trump, you know, my advice -- trump hasn't asked for it -- would be to sort of lean back and let hillary's issues be the big events, the big things that the press has to pay attention to. and they've certainly done a lot of it today. you know

lou: fred barnes and good to get out of here with that. its eyes great to have the great fred arnson we appreciate it. thanks so much for it. much more straight ahead. stay with us. obama's backdoor dealing with i ran. first it was $400 million in foreign currency and then 1.3 billion now almost $34 billion. where does it end or does it? donald trump says obama and clinton are trying to cover up their money trail. >> not to mention the ransom payments, oh those ransom payments. remember two weeks ago it was $400 million in cash. this is cash. lou: the defense of democracies john hammond joins us. tensions running high between these two drivers pick what happens next is simply astonishing. we will bring you the video plus they said i have troll teeth. that my voice sounded like a possessed baby doll. that no one would ever love someone as stupid as me. that i was fat. ugly. disgusting. the effect of bullying is potent. we will no longer be the silent majority. now when you see online bullying, there's something you can do about it. we're gon

"weekly standard" fred barnes and nprmara liasson. trump tried to put an end to this issue. part of the do bait. here it is again. the critics move trump and others like to say that the birther idea is racist. is it racist? >> she didn't is a that it underminded the legitimacy of barack obama by suggesting he wasn't constitutionally qualified to be president. and they kept on doing it even after he produced his long form birth certificate and, you know, up until just even this year donald trump, who supposedly put it to rest in that press conference brought it up again. asked about it but didn't apologize for it and instead of backing away from it blamed it on hillary clinton. >> yeah. i don't think this issue will help donald trump in any way. >> in fact, i don't know if michelle obama would be talking about it if she didn't think it hurt him. >> yes. and i don't know that it hurt him. it's an issue now that the democrats want to use, hillary does. miss obama does as well. because they think it will help with that one group we have been talking about so much. that's african

lou: joining me now, the executive editor of the weekly standard, fox news contributor fred barnes.'t she 50 points ahead again, fred? i -- [laughter] i can't quite make that out. >> that's a great ad. she comes across as shrill, of course, and screeching, and it's a very, very effective ad and explains why she's not 50 points ahead. you know, she may be three or four points ahead, but that's a very well done ad, and people will remember that, you know? when she is there screaming about why am i not 50 points ahead, very effective. lou: and rodeo queens, the reporting of the weekly standard, jack paladino, investigator -- excuse me -- assigned by hillary clinton, my gosh. >> well, these are things that were known some years ago, and now they're sort of forgotten in the mainstream media, they don't want to report on these things. but the truth is hillary clinton was a leader in the effort to intimidate and silence the women with whom her husband had had sexual relations -- lou: now, is she the one who came up with the rodeo queens to refer to the bimbos -- >> she called some of them

to help make sense of all these numbers here is our nightly political panel fred barnes and national political public radio political correspondent mara. i always had trouble with that when it was my program. national police dog political, l public. your thoughts and what we are seeing in the polling. >> i think this race might not be as volatile as we thought. polls were bouncing around and seemed to have settled back to a close race, more or less the way it was before the conventions. remember, she got a bigger bounce than he did. she lost that in that horrible stretch that she had. she is still a couple point ahead. yes, it's closed. we are see some tightening in the battleground states but nothing that you would think really changes the dynamic mick of the race. where you see that he has created some new paths, for instance, to 270. >> fred? >> what i'm interested in is the states that romney won and at the moment, donald trump is ahead in all of those or at least not behind in any of them as far as i know. and then the states that obama won. and. >> because he has to win all the

president, we begin segment number three with fred barnes. mr. barnes: mr. president, would you describe your religious beliefs, noting particularly whether you consider yourself a born-again christian, and explain how these beliefs affect your presidential decisions? president reagan: well, i was raised to have a faith and a belief and have been a member of a church since i was a small boy. in our particular church, we did not use that term "born again," so i do not know if i would fit that particular term but i have, , thanks to my mother, god rest her soul, the firmest possible belief and faith in god. and i don't believe -- i believe, i should say as lincoln , once said, that i could not, i would be the most stupid man in the world if i thought i could confront the duties of the office i hold if i could not turn to someone who was stronger and greater than all others. and i do resort to prayer. at the same time, however, i have not believed that prayer should be introduced into an election or be a part of a political campaign, or religion a part of that

fred barnes, can you believe the furious response on the part of the national media?hey are getting exactly what they asked for which is to get slapped around with birther. >> and donald trump also got a lot of free publicity for his new hotel on pennsylvania avenue as well where the events took place. lou: what is the name of that hotel again? >> i think it's trump international. this was -- trump just walked all over the press. of course, he has nothing to lose with the press because they are not going to give him favorable treatment anyway. lou: shouldn't there be some embarrassment on the part of the cable news network? they were orchestrating it and marching in lock step, a choreographed around clinton campaign talking points. it was silly on their part. >> if you are expecting the mainstream media to feel bad about this and so on, i would say don't hold your breath. it isn't going to happen. lou: i don't expect much of them, believe me. >> you were right about the panic. it's particularly true among democrats. harry reid had one of his rants today and the congre

. >> well, next up, political commentator fred barns will talk about their roll.isten to today's episode and head to our website, for that link. >>> the embattled ceo of wells fargo testified. they have fined wells fargo $185 million after employees trying to reach sales targets opened 2 million fake accounts. ceo john stump faced a beating today. >> did wells fargo employees steal from a million to 2 million other customers? yes or no? >> in some cases, they did. >> well, something is going wrong at this bank and you are the head of it. >> it's wrong. this is immoral and this may even be criminal. >> now, some committee members are suggesting wells fargo violated federal racketeering laws. no word on whether they'll refer the case to department of justice for possible criminal charges. >> a fuss over furniture. a man in alameda doesn't get what he pays for. nbc bay area responds next. >>> your next pizza, by robot? the sillicon valley company making it happen. jewish community members are angry after learning about a hundred ti- semiticliers were pinned to ar >>>

simon rosenberg a democratic strategist, fred barnes with us as well, "weekly standard" editor. welcome to you both. fred, let me see with, climate change, at an event calling for free college tuition for those people earning a certain amount of money, 125,000 or less. what does mr. trump have to do between now and the debate or does it really matter? if he has a strong showing at next debate are we back where we started before the big event on monday night? >> i don't see how he can have a strong showing, one, unless he changes his approach and two, stresses issues that he has a distinct advantage of. one is the economy. now hillary clinton, and bernie sanders, they want to pay for college and take away some of the loans that students have already gotten, they won't have to pay as much. taxpayers will have to pay for that. and hillary's tax increases are incredible. and look, the trump program is basically one that john f. kennedy used, that ronald reagan used, to a lesser extent bill clinton used but it works. spending a whole lot of money is what obama tried and we have had a

fred barnes, "weekly standard" edit. fox news contributor. christie setter is, new heights communications president. fred, who comes across tougher on terrorism, trump or hillary clinton? >> clearly this is trump issue. it helps him more than it helps her. some extent almost 100% stuck with the obama policy which obviously is not working. and here we have over the weekend we have these attacks and obama, what does p.m. say today? he said well americans shouldn't succumb to fear. it is not their fault. they have reasons to be fearful. and look, so i would say advantage trump on the -- david: you say advantage trump. christie, we had a "fox news poll" out last week and it is virtually a dead-heat when you ask people who would be toughest on terrorism. hillary is ahead by one point. that is statistical error. basically a dead-heat. why do you think? >> because i think they have very different strategies when it comes to the issue of terrorism. look, trump preys on people's fears. he said as fred just did, you have reason to be fearful. this is --

oz, let's bring in our nightly political panel, "the weekly standard's" fred barnes and "the washington examiner" susan ferrechio. well, first of all, what about after, you know, hillary wants us all to believe shoe that she fully recovered and got the pneumonia under control backs out on the campaign trail we find her daughter has never seen her so fired. does that help? >> she sounded better today. she still sounded sick to me. >> yeah, me too. >> i think it matters just depending on what happens next. if she stays healthy and she starts to sound a little more robust and we don't have more incidents like what happened on sunday, maybe knob of this will matter much in the end. other than contributing to the whole theme of duplicity where you have the server, the emails, no big deal here. nothing to look at. i wasn't really sick. i had the flu. oh, it was newspaper i can't. you know, it just adds to the whole issue of, you know, can voters reallysure she. if they're not entirely certain they're getting a full picture. >> voters think she is sick. is that enough reason to vote for donald

fred barnes of "the weekly standard." mercedes schlapp, former gw bush spokesperson. news contributors. we have marc ober man, former obama fund-raiser. fred, the problem in my mind the story keeps changing. as i was following over the weekend, even into last week when she had the coughing fit, it's a different, steadfast explanation over and over again but totally contradicts what you heard before and it follows a pattern of everything that happens with the clintons. it was allergies. it was dehydration. now it is pneumonia. now half her staff has a bug. isn't that part of the problem, the honest think factor, fred. >> of course it is. nobody in this universe will believe joe biden when she has been transparent about her health. quite the contrary. go back to the beginning. okay, she was diagnosed with a pneumonia on friday. did they tell the press? of course they didn't tell the press. sheen she has a problem. gets woozy on sunday. and she is taken out. to have her, to be picked up. do they let the press come with her, her traveling press? no. they pen them back. th

melissa: here is fred barnes "weekly standard" editor. hillary clinton support ir.t do you they have the new approach. seems like she is trying to be more accessible. is it working. or seeing reason why she was less successful before? >> well, look, i wouldn't call it anything but press evict. look it is good for her to be available. i think shy made the right decision. it should be. she can handle questions all night. as long as not about the emails. those that she doesn't like. you know, you knew that she was not winning that forum last night. because her aides were complaining about the moderator. you don't complain about the moderator when you're winning. melissa: went as far as, blake as to say that matt lauer was being sexist, whene we after her and her treatment and his treatment of her versus his treatment of trump. how do you think she came off last night? why do you think she came back out on to the tarmac? trump was tweeting, she gave a did i sass truss news conference on the tarmac to make up for her poor performance last night. i'm betting she wouldn't

[cheering] david: fred barnes, "weekly standard" executive editor. lie roginsky, democratic strategist join me. they are both fox news contributors. fred, a different kind of trump. there is talk today saying you're not going to hear about lyin' hillary. hear more sedate presidential if you will, kind of trump. what do you think? >> i think that is what trump needs to do. i once spent an hour with trump. he is far different from the trump you see at rallies, that you saw at debates against other republicans. he was very friendly. we talked. i was there with rick perry, the governor of texas. that is the trump that needs to show up. the trump the way in normal life and he, if there is model for trump, it needs to be ronald reagan in 1980 in the debate with jimmy carter. reagan, he didn't jump all over carter. he wasn't aggressor when carter attacked him. he said, there you go again. it was great performance. david: i think he said there you go again about 10 times. julie, we have another little thing that came out today that shows trump may be on the r

joining us now is fred barnes. he is with the weekly standard.ree and she is just attacking trump. i think it is a real race. the battleground states show it. initially there was a clear trump gain in national polls. and he is a little behind in north carolina but i say that as a state romney won. the key state is pennsylvania. is the closest trump has been certainly since the convention and going back much earlier than that. he has momentum. i think hillary might have a hard time rehab stab us in her own momentum. one she is attacking trump and now she said i'm getting give some very subsidence speeches over the next couple of weeks. that is what trump has been doing. pennsylvania is so important and it is clear where the votes are the trumpet have to get. they are in the suburbs outside of philadelphia. some are in the north and the more middle-class. trump is getting killed there. this is an educated voters a lot of them were republicans but they haven't bought the trump candidacy yet. >> they are all suddenly democrat. what the devil happened

having said that, fred, it's yours. mr. barnes: thank you. mr. mondale, let me ask you about middle-class americans and the taxes they pay. now, i'm talking not about the rich or the poor, i know your views on their taxes, but about families earning 25,000 to 45,000 a year. do you think that those families are overtaxed or undertaxed by the federal government? mr. mondale: in my opinion, as we deal with this deficit, people from about $70,000 a year on down have to be dealt with very, very carefully, because they are the ones who didn't get any relief the first time around. under the 1981 tax bill, people making $200,000 a year got $60,000 in tax relief over 3 years, while people making $30,000 a year, all taxes considered, got no relief at all or their taxes actually went up. that's why my proposal protects everybody from $25,000 a year or less against any tax increases, and treats those $70,000 and under in a way that is more beneficial than the way the president proposes with a sales tax or a flat tax. what does this mean in real life? well, t

fred. so, she says: forget the barn bells and stuff like that. the kettle bells, whatever.champagne. >> champagne flute? >> a flute, and this reminds me of this picture right here. kim kardashian on paper magazine. when she, that is a famous cover. >> who knew this could be a work snout have so you put the glass on your um. >> okay. so the champagne that was brought to us here is way too good. right? we don't want to waste the champagne. but this is champagne, thank you, for helping us with out that. but we do want to say that we have filled it up to the little bit of liquid. cher see here from sweat. good morning. >> good morning. >> overall, you know, one of these things we found on the internet, kind of whatever. you say there is some value to this? >> absolutely. >> what is that? >> we can substitute water or champagne if you will, for any form of balance training. so today, basically, we will use the champagne flute as our marker. >> cool. and so it is basically giving us some, something to focus on? >> right. it will be your center of gravity. >> okay, so we begin wit
