host: matt lewis, your reaction?guest: there are three big factors that are going in the republicans' direction. it is the six-year itch midterm. bias.is a selection democrats are defending all of these red state -- red state democrats, so they are in a bad position. maybe more important or at least equally as important is the political environment. the big topic for months now has been things like isis and ebola. i have written at the daily caller -- i have a theory that this reminds me of matt lewis' hierarchy of needs which is the ourhological principle, primal needs for security and safety and food. the first things you need to satisfy. once you get past that you can worry about things like self-actualization. right now is a situation where republicans are benefiting greatly from people worrying about their primal needs. if you worry about surviving, if you are going to live, you don't worry if the government will provide you with taxpayer-funded birth-control. democrats do better when things seem fine. -- the me

matt lewis, was the outcome?>> guest: first i think it makes sense you would eventually get around to blaming the guy who's been in office for six years. that makes sense. presidents always be bad and sort of second term, second midterm. but also i think it's the fact that honestly president obama is sort of whole rationale for being president was really to restore hope and change and also to sort of make people believe in government again. and so it's kind of a double whammy, the fact that some things can go suck some the things are going wrong. it's not surprising at all the republicans i think reporters have a very good midterm house of representatives amanda terkel, how are democrats responding treachery act that was signed that historically presidents, their parties can do pretty poorly in midterms in the second turn. but i think right now the country is feeling very chaotic. the fact that this ebola outbreak is happen right before the midterm elections doesn't help president obama and democrats very much. d

matt lewis senior contributor at the daily caller. and honorary contributor at the daily beast. president obama is seething, he's angry, frustrated over ebola. >> no drama obama is so mad. no. it gets out there because the white house realized too late they had to show the president was mad about this. mad as hell so mad what he told his staff was guys this is not tight. i've never heard something so angry in my entire life. >> unmaimed white house aides gave you that story would you have gone on the air? >> i would use that information how they are pushing back on the idea that he's been adrift and not paid attention and that's important. but i mock it a little because i just think it's sort of the media buying a story line that all of a sudden the president is mad as hell and won't take it any more. what took him so long. it was after days and days coverage of this when they finally said we have to change course. they told us for days in the briefing that the idea of an ebola czar is silly and now on friday here's an ebola czar. >> as the media narrative moved calling for cdc'

we have matt lewis.ler, the moral minority, should republicans stop preaching and win? and in part you write this, ultimately politics is about choices and, yes, values. it's about standing for things and saying that certain things are more valuable than others. at least the politicians and movements capable of exciting, inspiring people, realize this. and we might agree a strong republican party should stand for free markets, lower taxes and a strong national defense, the notion that one might simply eschew the principles is more cowardice than pragmatic. >> as you know, i sort of cover the journal belly of the conservative movement. this is something that -- >> that's a dirty thing to cover. >> this is something -- >> someone's got to do it. >> i'm seeing it more and more. as conservatives sort of lose the culture and as trends shift, rather than admitting that conservatives were wrong about this issue or this issue, what we're doing is instead kind of reverse engineering their entire governing philoso

. >> let me bring in matt lewis. a tough question people like david axelrod says you're trying to make americans panic, when actually what we're trying to do is ask tough questions about how did the w.h.o. screw this up, why is it the doctor, dr. kent brantley, that treated ebola patients, still doesn't know how he got ebola, why -- i mean, it's okay for the cdc, it's okay for the w.h.o. to say this is something a little bit different. we really don't have all the answers right now. but let's work together. it's just like if you ask a tough question, suddenly you're trying to make the world panic. >> i think the problem is, that this has to go in context, right. it's not just ebola. it's a whole slew of issues that we've been told, don't worry about. i actually have a question for david, which is, you know, whether it's isis being called the jv, whether it's the irs scandal being dismissed as a phony scandal, it seems like the obama administration has had a strategic -- made a strategic decision to sort of go with en

joining us now with matt lewis, senior editor at the daily caller. having me. >> some have said that just as dallas has become ground zero for ebola, houston has become ground zero for religious liberty. do you agree? >> well, right now it is. look, this isn't a new thing. they've had little sisters of the poor, hobby lobby, other instances of people being asked to violate their rights of conscience, but right now this is where the action is and look, i think if you care about free speech and free expression, you need to pay attention to this. >> for viewers who aren't super familiar with the story, if you can break it down for us. essentially there is a bill on the books where the mayor wants to let men use women's restrooms and women use men's restrooms in an effort to be gender neutral. she put out this tweet, mayor parker put this out. she says, if the five pastors use pulpits for politics, their sermons are fair game. can you break this down for us? >> yeah. basically there was an effort to have kind of a referendum on this ordinance to get it o
