he sent a letter this week to cnn president jeff zucker. it kind of echoed what trump said in similar comments. let's take a look at that now. >> i should go to cnn. they're doing the next debate. i should say to jeff zucker, a great guy, jeff, i'm going to do the debate but i want $10 million for charity. american cancer society. aids research. otherwise i'm not going to the debate. and honestly, i think they would pay me. >> no comment from cnn, which is being asked to cough up all of the profits because trump says the ad rates have gone up 4,000% or something like that because of his participation. >> intentionally or not, one could say it's a reminder to the public that the media, which most of us like to think of us neutral observer is not always really that. they profit from the theater and they profit from the political campaign. >> i love the whole notion here that he should be paid for generating headlines and readership so we should pay terrorists if there's a terrorist attack or the airline when they send an airplane down into th

with what does jeff zucker do now? >> well i asked cnn for comment and no comment all day.guess cnn is pondering whether they want to fuel this particular story. on the point of not showing up, i was at the big rally at the capitol against the iran deal, fox news caught up with him and said if krp doesn't do what you want them to do, will you show up. he hasn't made the decision yet >> what does he do if zumer doesn't say anything? >> he takes credit for the high ratings and he's played himself into another news cycle. it's quite a trick. >> what did you call it? >> monster truck rally. you get kiss to open it, gene simmons will do it. you have pyrotechnics. it will beat the ratings on cnn. >> great to see you both. >> you bet. >>> coming up next, the thousands of syrian refugees demanding a home, the obama administration is talking about bringing some of them here. that is not without controversy and dana loesch is next on that. iflike i love shrimp, red lobster's endless shrimp... ...is kind of a big deal. it's finally back, with as much shrimp as you want, any way you wa

martha: what is jeff zucker going to do? >> cnn can't possibly agree to this even though obviously it would sab good cause because it would look wimpy like it calls could you t -- itwould look likg to donald truck. this isn't a real estate deal where you get a commission. martha: he's looking to monetize everything he's doing. he says i should charge for being on tv because he's doing such a great job for everybody's ratings. but it isn't the way it works. no organization, cnn or anyone else, they would be essentially paying donald trump to be in the debates and he would be deciding what to do with that money. >> trump knows that. he's just stirring the pot. then trump said maybe i won't show up. fox news caught up with trump and said to him, if cnn doesn't go along with what you want to do will you not show up? trump received i have yet to make that determination. he's going to be there. he's having fun. this is how he keeps himself in the news. i'm sure he would rather be talking about this than the comments he made about

>> oh, nobody. [ laughter ] >> i wish you could see what we are looking at off camera, and jeff zuckerust walked out. is he staying at 10:00 p.m. on sunday night. >> my mom sends her regards, and thanks for swag by the way. >> and we are live on the air, fyi. >> you have to thank him. >> and it is great work, too. i love working here with you. >> and sunday at 10:00 for now. >> for now. >> for now. mike rowe, glad to have you on. >> and your parents coming over? >> yes. >> i will have them here on the set. >> yes. and mr. and mrs. rowe on the hook. >> and speaking of people on the hook, wolf blitzer is on the hook, and he is going to start after this quick break.

you can tell jeff zucker, i think it was terrible, disgusting reporting. >> that's not what i heard her say, what i heard her say about the south carolina event what was surprising, it was mostly white people, this was the african-american chamber of commerce but it was populated mostly by a white audience. >> well, they had many african-americans and many white people, too. the room was full. they all rushed to the front which was a great honor. i let them stand there the whole speech. she showed empty seats, well, of course, there were empty seats because people were standing in the front of the room. it's just another hit job. it's one of those things. honestly, alisyn, a terrible reporter. >> mr. trump, i think she's a wonderful reporter. >> we disagree. >> we do. >>> governor huckabee said about the president what he found the most disturbing thing for him there are people who may not be in line with the pope's values who were invited to seat pope in washington, d.c. an openly gay episcopal bishop, transgender activist, a nun who is an activist. let me play to you what mike huckabe

jeff zucker, i sent him a huge bouquet of flowers. >> this is the most watched program in the network's 35-year history. 22.9 million viewers. he needs a big bouquet. >> fox got 24 million. they didn't know 24 was coming. they didn't get to jack their ad rates. they said it's huge. send the flowers. >> 4.5 million watched on line as well. you can add that number to it. >> super bowl is like a million or two million. a debate online 4.5 million people? that's amazing. >> if this ends for trump, will people be interested? he claims he is a ratings machine and on this front he is correct. >> megan kelly got the trump bump. she signed the caa, big powerful agency. >> we are one in the same. >> she is catching up to you very, very quickly. producing a new series with kevin spacey. all over. >> a scripted series with spacey. i love that cross over. >> before hannity, he headlined a town hall meeting. he came under fire for not correcting a man who said president obama is muslim and not american. >> there is a problem in this country called muslim. we know our current president is one. he's no

that's kind of got to be the way jeff zucker feels tonight.ald trump recommending that cnn donate all of the profits of the, what would you call it, the trump alooza debate. >> he's trolling them. he's trolling them. i don't remember trump donating his profits of "celebrity apprentice" if he had guests on that spiked the ratings that week. >> the winners of "celebrity apprentice" donated all this stuff to charity. >> i don't think fox should donate the money from their debate. >> not yet. >> yes, exactly. >> it makes you wonder why aren't we already doing this? why has no other candidate came forward and suggested the same thing? >> this is trump, he trolls or comes up with interesting ideas, depending on how you look at it. the barber shop, fined $750 because they wouldn't cut a woman's hair. what do you think? >> good for them. they're providing one service, not another. you don't go into a nail salon asking to get your hair permed. i wouldn't say it's gender discrimination, they just don't offer those services. >> do you agree? >> i complet

i talked to our boss, jeff zucker and said that was my favorite part of the fox debate. it was actually two guys passionately debating an important issue. >> right. >> let's have as many of those as possible. so yes, what the team and i have been doing is trying to craft questions that, in most cases, pit candidates against the other, specific candidates on the stage, on issues where they disagree, whether it's policy or politics or leadership. let's actually have them discuss and debate. i'm going to be trying -- look, they're going to want to talk to the camera and get out their talking points, but i am going to attempt to get them to address each other and actually debate. >> you'll be joined by dana bash and hugh hewitt. do campaigns and operatives and journalists send you ideas for questions? are you overwhelmed by all the ideas? >> it's not just candidates and campaigns and journalists. it's your uncle harry and your aunt sally and the guy that you scooped ice cream with at baskin robbins when you were 15 years old. everybody you've ever known is submitting questio

the donald writing a letter to jeff zucker and he is now waiting for his response.t if the donald doesn't get his way? >> if mr. zucker does not agree, as you wrote in the letter today to donate the funds from the cnn debate to veterans, will you consider not appearing? >> we're going to make a determination. but should make a big donation and a, frankly, so should the other networks because they are making a lot of money. and i would like to see that money go to the vets. >> so if he doesn't give the money, you won't show up? >> we will make a determination. >> the "on the record" political panel is here from the hill bob cusack and from the "washington times" steven dinen. of course fox has already had its debate. your thoughts about this? >> you know, look, i expect he shows up even if cnn doesn't agree to do that. the point here is this how mu power this guy has and people are tuning in to see him. if you lose him from the debate, who knows, you probably lose half of your audience. he does have this ability to sort of lay out these demands and get attention for

. >> let me ask you about this letter that you sent jeff zucker over at cnn, that his rates will go up because of the next debate to $200,000, either a 30 or 60-minute ad. you said to donate it to charity. have you been heard from him? >> have i not heard back from him. i don't want to donate it to charity. i want to give to it the veterans. i want to give it to lots of different veterans groups. they're rates are going from $4,000 to $250,000 an ad. i hate to say because of me. because the numbers were always very low for the debates. nobody watched the debates. it was a poorly rated thing. i hate to tell that to you. but you know that. fox had 24 million people watching. and now looking at cnn, it could be 30 million people. >> the highest rated debate in the 2012 cycle here at 6.5 million. i don't think there's anyone disputing that. let me ask you a final question. you see everything that's unfolding with hillary clinton and her server. she gave an apology, although she admitted no wrong doing nothing was improper she says. do you think you had said you think joe biden is more like

and political news from donald trump he tweeted out earlier a letter he sent to cnn president jeff zucker asking cnn to donate all profits they make from the september 16 debate, republican debate, to veterans. he says that fox made more money because of him, because of his appearance at the first republican debate. and he notes from previous reports over the weekend that cnn is now charging more for ads, a 4,000% increase. he credits himself for them to be able to do that and he said they should be sending those profits to the nation's veterans. some other political news. niels tweeting out, the senator from north dakota announcing she will stay in the senate. she will not run for governor of north dakota. oufer conversation with you right now on this iran nuclear agreement as the house is in recess subject to the call of the chair because house leadership has pulled from the floor debate over a rule on a resolution disapproving of the iran nuclear agreement. what was supposed to happen is at 1:00 this afternoon, around 1:30 they were going to vote on the rule. it was going to kick off 1
