alisyn: ric lowry published that editorial that we were just talking about.w and fox news contributor. ri rich. >> hey alisyn, how's it going? >> alisyn: going well. is it laughable as newt gingrich said that anyone would question his conservative credentials as you dared to? >> well look, he's accomplished a lot. he's obviously a hugely talented guy, probably the most talented politician of his generation, right up there with bill clinton. but like billon, he has big flaws, and in the case we try make in this editorial is he'd be very high risk as a general election candidate, without enough upside potential as president in our minds because if there's one guy in this field who might just wake up one day on the wrong side of the bed and decide he's going to cut a grand deal with nancy pelosi it would be newt gingrich. he is a radic by nature, the t.a.r.p. debate a couple of years ago, he was against it, then for it, the libyan intervention, no fly zone, he was for it, then against it, the ryan plan, radical social engineering, no, actually not radical social

rich lowrie is the editor of "national review," as everyone knows. he's only the third editor in "national review's" by now nearly 56-year history. and how he came to "national review" is -- is very much in line with -- with, again, what we've heard about bill this afternoon, that he was always concerned about young people. he saw himself as an evangelist to young people for the conservative faith as well as for the faith. and how rich first came to us was by taking part in a young writer's contest, by now, 20 years ago this year, it wasn't it? 20 years ago this year. and the very next year, an opening ifle -- a position fell open on the editorial staff and we hired rich and before long he was our national political reporter and then in 1997 when john o'sullivan was stepping down, bill, after extensively looking around the pool of available talent, decided rich was the one. that's when he became editor and chief of "national review." and has been running the magazine with excellence ever since. we're changing the order a little here. the second panel

much of this began with national review editor rich lowry who is also a frequent panelist on news watcha marginal conspiracy-minded congressman with an embarrassing catalog of racist material. judy? >> well, right. and rich said that if iowa took him seriously and iowans took him seriously, maybe we shouldn't take iowa all ha seriously. all that seriously. so it was really kind of like a double whammy. he doesn't like ron paul, and he's not going to like iowa if they have the bad judgment to vote for this guy it was really pretty harsh and, jon, i'm just stunned to the extent by which the conservatives really detest ron paul. jon: but there are other people, kirsten, who have won iowa and not gone on to win the presidency. why is ron paul generating so much negative attention? >> well, i think the primary problem that a lot of the conservatives have with him is with his foreign policy. he's not only, you know, noninterventionist and doesn't approve of a lot of the iraq war, afghanistan war, they feel that he sometimes, you know, seems sympathetic to iran. and so he just isn't, you know,

a prominent republican office holder told rich lowry we don't have our a-team on the field. he's not alone. thaed bill crystal encouraged others to jump into the race. it is a moment for others to reflect on whether they don't owe it to their country to step forward. this is the guy who used to think sarah palin would be a good candidate for president. if the current republican field doesn't meet a low bar like that, you know there's a problem. but where is chris christie? where is jeb bush? where's mitch daniels? these republicans that have money and name recognition. if obama is such a bad guy and easy to beat and he's a communist they've been calling him for years, you'd think all the good candidates would be jumping at this thing because it would be easy to unseat president obama. don't you find it interesting? i do. they've spent so much time hating this man, they haven't come up with a real solid candidate that has conviction of his or her principles. they're always waffling, aren't they? let's bring in "huffington post" political reporter sam stein and joan walsh. alw

. >> it's interesting, national review on line this morning, rich lowry has got an item that compares the old newt to the new newt. newt is saying i'm 68, i've matured. rich lowry writes he was 65 when he opposed tarp and then supported it and almost 68 when he denounced paul ryan's medicare reform as right wing social engineering. so has he matured? well, that's what newt says. >> one person who has not matured is alec baldwin. he apparently had a problem on a flight, an american airlines flight when he refused to turn off his phone or device, whatever, you know how the flight attendants come through and i know it's so hard in this world of technology that we live to actually turn off the devices when they ask you to but apparently, he had a problem with it and got into that big twitter argument with american airlines. now, they do not want to air any of his shows, "30 rock" on american airlines. union that represents the flight attendants wants that show to be banned. >> well, yeah. they want that because they went to the bathroom and started kicking the walls and refused to shut it

simon rosenberg and rich lowry, editor of "the national review."we didn't create it and we didn't voiflt yet. look at the trend lines, it wasn't us. >> if you are in the position to take credit for a good economy all these interviews would be about taking credit. the entirety of his communications effort is about shifting the blame. you have got everything he wanted more or less, blaming the rich, even though they had nothing to do with the struggles of the middle or lower end. now he's blaming huge historical forces which he has no control over. he's supposedly modeling himself on harry truman in 1948 but he doesn't have the buck stops here sign on his desk. megyn: ron paul was on here moments ago. he was saying it's not all obama. he was saying some of these conditions were created long before president obama. but is it good for the president not to take any responsibility, sort of say it's all thanks to the larger picture? >> i think what he said is true. the conditions of the current economy, financial meltdown, missing wages the recession itse

rich lowry is editor of the national revue and a fox news contributor.resting, doris good win says he ought to start channeling theodore roosevelt by emulating his appeal for a square deal an does it. i'm sure it was pure coincidence. what are the risks of the president doing this. >> he had the big stick, he wrote lots of books, he shot big game. but this is an inside game. no one out there in the country is going to say i feel much bet better economy because the president is associating himself with testifiedy roosevelt it's casting about for a theoretical construct for his political positioning which is about tax can the rich and preserving this payroll tax cut. he's trying to leverage the tax on the rich on every single issue. he says we can't reduce the deficit unless we raise tax on the rich. it polls well so he's holding onto that issue. you talk about fairness, shared burd shall. the question is will americans look past the rhetoric. in in comparing what teddy roosevelt was talking about in 1910, there was no personal income tax back then. it was

alalan colmes, and richard lowry. lot of hand wringing. >> we left with a whimper not with a bang there. was no shock and awe at the end and there was no president landing in a tom cruise type flight suit with a mission accomplished sign that was manufactured in the white house. it was a very different set of circumstances, and imagery than we had when right after the beginning of the so-called shock and awe we saw what president bush did. this is a gradual scale down of the war. we are out of there because we could not get the immunity for our troops. this was the bush timeline. we continue stay even if president obama wanted us to. we continue get immunity to protect our forces from possible legal action. jon: rich, focusing on the coverage, again the media seemed to be stressing the uncertainties that lie ahead, and the constant arguments that this war created. >> jon, i think that is appropriate. obviously it was a devisive war and i think the hand wringing unfortunately is appropriate. we are going to have an arg

alisyn: christopher han is a former aid too aide to chuck schumer, also joining us, rich lowry, editoruch for being here to talk about the big lie of the year. and let's just remind our viewers of the ad that came to sort of symbolize this big lie, and that was someone who looks suspiciously like congress paul ryan, pushing an old lady off a cliff. let's just watch a minute of that. >> al oh boy. rich -- >> very subtle. alisyn: very subtle. political facts saying that was the biggest lie of the year. >> this is how paul ryan gets his workout, when he's not at the gym, shoving people off the cliffs. i don't put a lot of stock in the fact checking outfits, i don't think they're as objective as they claim to be. in this case i think they're absolutely right, it was an obvious and blatant lie. what is medicare? it's guaranteed insurance for early people. there still would be guaranteed insurance for elderly people under the ryan plan. it's just the delivery of the benefit would change, but you'd still have medicare, elderly people would still have health insurance. so this was a blatant, h

joining us now is alan colmes, and rich lowry. media talk more about paul. >> i don't agree with the the premise, he's in every doe bait. i've had him on my radio show a lot. i've seen a number of segments, how the media doesn't talk about ron paul while they are talking about ron paul. people know who he is. if you are following this stuff -- that is one of reasons he might be doing well, people do know who he is and he resonates with a good percentage of the republican election threat. i don't think he'll get the nomination, antiwar, league lyle drugs, a series of positions that are too libertarian for the republican party. here we are talking about giving him media attention and we're giving him media attention. jon: might they go to ron paul. >> i think all the polls show cain's people are going to go to newt gingrich. on the merits you look at his standing in the polls, the fundraising he's doing, the kind of organization he has on the ground, and he is not getting the media attention commensurate with awful those things. the
