are you telling me that marion williamson is not the next president? >> you know, i would think you're a guy who loves loves a unicorn. you should be in love. it's perfect for you. >> i love love so much some types i've even paid for it. that came out wrong. >> we've all paid for it somewhere or another. >> that's true. i just spit on myself. david? pick whoeverat you want to talk about. >> [laughter] >> r] oh, boy. well the entire field was kind of just bonkers, right? the whole lesson of 2016 for the democrats is like hey we didn't connect with the working people, the regular folks in america and ohio and now it's like do you know what we need just a bunch of communists. total insanity. when the debate started marion williamson, i was like who is this wacko. and by the end i was like she has some better points. >> [laughter] >> i like the idea of her being president too. thee department like spends the whole thing. it's fun. i think it's fun. >> we begin bombing with crystals. >> yeah, in the situation room with the tarot cards. okay, what do we do h

. >> marion williamson took 30 minutes to get her first question, a hero in the debate. >> mister presidentre listening i want you to hear me. i'm going to harness love for political purposes. i will meet you on that field. heather: one of the most searched candidates, so many tweets about her. do you think she has -- an essential oil called love? john says marianne williamson, she has been very successful. >> i had her book in the 90s. >> gwyneth paul throw calls or something. >> other people said she looked like tina say. >> ran the gamut again. round 2 is done. the first democratic debate in the book, all 20 candidates on the debate stage, some spanish, and 11 more to come. >> that wraps up this hour of "fox and friends first" this friday. thanks for joining us, "fox and friends first" continues right now, have a great weekend, goodbye. >> healthcare is a human right, not something to make a huge profit. >> i would illuminate donald trump's tax cuts for the wealthy. >> probably ought to -- i am all for -- >> unless you can find -- >> we clearly defined we are not socialists the republica

sanders of vermont, senator kirsten gillibrand of new york, michael bennet of colorado and author marion williamsonic swalwell of california. andrew yang and governor john hickenlooper of colorado. where the candidates will stand on stage reportedly each night has not yet been determined, so you don't know when your next-door neighbor will be but they split this up. jessica, you said you don't believe this is random? >> you've got biden, sanders, kamala harris and pete buttigieg, and we are supposed to believe this is random? most of these committees, you put your thumb on the scale a little bit and they will want ratings and they want people to tune in. you want to be on the stage with biden, that's the stage where he is the front runner right now although his lead has been flipping in iowa. if you are someone like pete buttigieg, that's a moment to capitalize on with these lesser-known candidates. this is your moment. >> so let's not downplay the fact that senator elizabeth warren has come up to second place in the polling, but we haven't seen the real clear politics average which she is now pick

debates ought to provide an opportunity for the american people marion williamson is brilliant, a friendi am glad that she is in the debate. to really see the candidates, all of them. also, the networks the way they moreis, by throwing questions to one as opposed to the other, i think they deny the american people an opportunity to be introduced to the whole range of candidates which really is the responsibility of the media to do so. david: taking those criticisms and questions, what do you take away from the first two nights? who did well, who did less well? dennis: elizabeth warren in the first night really established herself on economic issues. ofsi gabbard on concerns interventionism. governor inslee of washington state has set the standard for bringing up climate change and the urgency of addressing it. on the second debate, bernie sanders on health care, critical . to raise the issue as an economic issue and show how medicare for all can save people money and not cost money. when you get to joe biden, he has the experience, he pointed that out. , harris was very aggressive, added

cory booker was talking about the values of caring for your neighbor, caring for community, marion williamson who as you know has been a spiritual leader, was talking about getting back to love. and she said where obama used the concept of hope, she thinks the concept of love needs to be used. there's one school of thought that you will win over iowans by playing up on values and the values that are not trump. then there's another school that says you have to really hit hard on the issues. and you heard a great deal of accord on what some of the key issues are, health care, higher wages, gun control laws, climate change. those were some of the big issues. but there was some debate about whether you beat trump by defining trump, by making it about trump or whether you beat him better by ignoring him and talking about what your priorities are. and then there's another strain of potential discord which is whether you do it by playing it safe, and the case was made by governor hickenlooper of colorado, former governor, that you don't want to give ammunition to republicans who are going to call yo

marion williamson. kear kirsten gillibrand and hing en looper. >>> peter king is joining me now. thanks for joining me. appreciate it. >>> thank you, kristen. let me get your reaction. the first two nights have been set. we know what the debate stages will look like. what are you going to be watching for during the first two night of democratic primary debates? >> well, i hate to agree with my friend steve kornacki. i would say the first night, this gives elizabeth warren, maybe she'd rather be on the stage with the frontrunners. this gives her a chance to stand out. the second night, it's whether or not joe biden can stand up against heavy hitters there. if he can do that. i would think somebody like buttigieg, they might see it a chance to bring joe biden down. if you're the front-runner and against three other people who are known to people in politics but not necessarily to the general public and they hold their own with you, that could hurt joe biden. again, it's going to be interesting. it really is. >> you see joe biden as a real threat to president trump, congressman? >>

marion williamson marianne williams send the outlier, the last on the end but an outlier of sorts.f-help guru of the '80s. here's what she said last night. >> mr. president, if you are listening, i want you to hear me, please. you will harness fear for political purposes and only love can cast that out. i, sir, i have a feeling you know what you're doing. i'm going to harness love for political purposes. i will meet you on that field. and sarah, love will win >> martha: i'm not going to speak out against the message of love. but i know i'm not the only person in the country who imagined a "saturday night live" skit during the course of the entire debate last night and kate mckinnon was thinking about it too. here she is on seth meyers. >> my plan is to gather all the sage in america, my plan is to harness the energy of babies to finally put a man on the moon. and i said to the president of new zealand, i said to my girlfriend, you are so on. i would say that donald trump, boyfriend, you chill. >> i'd vote for her! >> clearly her style of speech is suited for a we can, but i thought

. >> a lot of the comments online during the debates were who is he or how have i not met marion williamson? you refer to them as the sideliners, people who didn't have that much coming in. did any of them step up or step back, do you think? >> most sidelines were close to the bottom of meeting the debate requirements. 65,000 contributors and averaging at least 1% in select polls. there were no breakouts of this group of consequence and more than a few demonstrated they didn't belong on the stage in the first place. it's just a fact. >> we're just starting to find out maybe who made moves and how long does that usually take? >> guess what? one poll a respectable poll is now in, already in from this thing and here are some of the results provided by the morning consult in 538 which asked respondents who they supported before and after the debates, that's what's important. the same questions before and after. note what happened to joe biden, falls ten points and note what happens to kamala sanders, up nine points. let's stress, it's important this is only one poll and that's it, and sentiment

how do you break through, marion williamson is considered a long shot. this is senator michael bennett. governor bullock, mayor bill de blasio, senator kirsten gillibrand only two in ten iowans say they're considering. these debates will be huge for a breakthrough. >> it reflects the reality in june of 2019. this is an eight-person race in iowa with the pos that somebody from that next tier could break out because most will be in the first two debates this month and next month. basically you've got two different fields right now. you've got the top here and that undercard with the possibility n that one of them can make a move. i don't know if more than one or two will move. fluidity of this race. may of 2015, hillary clinton had a 41 point lead over bernie sanders. she won by less than a percentage point on caucus night f. you look at these numbers, biden with a very fragile advantage, it shows how fluid this race is. the fact that, look, it's going to be hugely wide open, and the ideological gap is an important thing to keep in mind. you see two wings

>> can we talk about somebody who's been the butt of a lot of jokes, marion williamson. but i'm going to make a controversial argument that she said one thing that folks should listen to. listen. >> i'll tell you one thing it's nice they got all these plans but if you think we're going to beat donald trump by having all these plans, you've got another thing coming. he didn't win by saying we have a plan, he won by simply saying make america great again. >> adrienne, as somebody who was on the other side of it, do you see a candidate who has a simple straightforward message, a mantra that they can sell and is she right? >> think she's right and i think that, you know, with all due respect to marianne williamson, this is why we can't are debates going forward after the second debate that include 20 candidates. had why the dnced when i willing do whit eling down the field is so important. i frankly didn't hear enough candidates really drawing a contrast with the principals of the democratic party last night versus the policies of the trump administration. i think that her s
