"it became clear throughout the trip that we need to further engage," says

she's the one who said about joni ernst when she was running for the senate, she said well, it's notto be a woman, you have to be a woman that believes. then she went through her litany of liberal orthodoxy. note to democrat party, we're half the nation. so our views differ, and yes, i think i am distinctly horrifying to liberals, and i am a conservative woman who right now head-to-head beats hillary clinton soundly. >> carly fiorina, you've come a long way from not making the top ten at that fox news debate. something tells me you'll be there for a while. great to see you. >> i intend to be there for quite a while, all the way to the end, megyn. >>> the folks at duncan donuts are taking heat on how police have been treated at the doughnut chain. that's not a joke. we'll show you why they're not the only ones caught up in the controversy. >>> a significant new call with gun control with hillary clinton promising to use executive promising to use executive action to change the duley past good. very good. you see something moving off the shelves and your first thought is to investigate

even though i have huge disagreements with deb fischer or joni ernst. a lot has to do with motherhood and some getting around the sexism early in your career and overcoming it. we don't want to throw each other under the bus. look at the difference at harry and mitch and how they speak to each other. they are at each other like this all of the time. and it hasn't always been that way between the two leaders but it is now. we have two people that clearly don't like each other very much. i think you can get more done if you like each other even if you disagree. as long as we keep working at knowing one another, the women, better than knowing everyone else, because we talk about kids and personal life, i don't think there is going to be an idea of winning at somebody's expense and that is what is wrong with washington. mr. mcconnell didn't want barack obama to win anything because he thought it would be at their expense and it would make obama be effective and they would not be able to take over. there is now a lot of, we need to return to the favor to mit

you know, hillary clinton once said when she was campaigning against joni ernst last year in iowa, she said it's not enough to be a woman. you have to be a woman who believes. then she went through her litany of liberal talking points. in other words, it's democrats and liberals and planned parenthood executives that don't want any distance between their orthodoxy and any other woman. >> so republicans -- >> and by the way, up until this point in time, up until this point in time -- i'm sorry to interrupt, sean, but up until this point in time not only am i not lying, but planned parenthood has not, will not, cannot deny that this is happening because it is. and if they care so much about women's health why is it that democrats will not agree to use taxpayer funding to support pregnancy centers all around this country? why do they always oppose that? >> they can take that $500 million a year, half a billion a year and give it to other women's health groups that are not harvesting baby body parts and then they can't make the argument. would you like to see republicans take such a strong

women who believe unless you follow their orthodox, hillary clinton is one as well, she said about joni ernst said it's not enough to be a woman. you have to be a woman who believes. note to the democrat party, we are half the nation. our views differ like men's views differ. i'm a conservative woman who right now head-to-head beats hillary clinton soundly. martha: the latest "wall street journal" poll shows the former hewlett-packard ceo beating clinton nationally. this is a big move for carly fiorina who was way behind in recent months. iowa, 52% to 38%. in new hampshire it's 50% to 42%. she has made such a huge move. bill: you have got a debate a week from today. so we shall see how we come out. martha: that's a good point about women. they are not monolithic. and that contest will be interesting. bill: we are awaiting a report from the hill on u.s. too muchs in afghanistan planning to pull out next year. >> it's a lack of respect. he doesn't respect our president. martha: donald trump says he believes vladimir putin does not respect our president. is he right? fair and balanced debate com
