secretary, do you think that steve hayes is a terrorist. >> hayes is hardly alone. of the estimated hundreds of thousands on the terror watch list many individuals may be on it erroneously. >> the department of justice ig report said up to half the names on the list are incorrect. >> list of false positives has included the late liberal senator ted kennedy. democratic senator john lewis, members of the armed forces, u.s. marshals and at least one toddler. the false positives are not the biggest problem with the terror watch list. >> if the people on the watch list are truly dangerous, why isn't the obama administration and the obama justice department indicting them? >> the supreme court has held that the right to keep and bear arms under the constitution is a fundamental liberty. you can only lose if t if you're found guilty of a crime by a jury. >> democrats continue to push for a ban for those trying to buy semiautomatic weapons. >> it's insanity this is not already a restriction we have in place. >> all of that talk that may be political posturing. the backgroun

steve hayes, senior writer for the "weekly standard."erin, for the "washington post" and syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer. charles this campaign is not in a freefall? >> i'm not sure it is. i think it's already had its freefall from its height in the 20s to about 10. i'm not sure i would see a reason he would drop blow that he has a hard-core constituency. he has amazing fundraising numbers. which means he's got i think 600,000 individual donors. people who are going to stick with him. and you know, i'm not even sure there would be a reason for him given that he has the money. given he still has a constituency. i don't see it enlarging, that he would drop out. i think he could calculate, you stay in the race, you win delegates and who knows if the convention in cleveland is an open one, he could be a king-maker. >> steve hayes, i wonder, barry bennett, i'm told the "washington post" was running the campaign, he's now out and what he describes as the internal bleep became what the campaign about. it was sad, petty. it became mind

look anything that will keep a gun out of the hands of steve hayes i think is useful. but these two assailants were not on any list. they were completely under the radar. they live in the state with the strongest gun control probably in the country. assault weapon bans magazine limits and universal background checks. and they were entirely undetected. this is a way to change the subject, and i think he continued in that vein. what he said about muslim-americans i think that's a good thing to do. george bush did that after 9/11. at the same time he launched a real war against al qaeda in afghanistan. >> we should reference the steve hayes comment. he was on a no-fly list at one point for a one-way trip to turkey. i'll come to you in a second. a.b. your thoughts on the speech? >> well, i think charles is right in that he knows how serious it is and he was somber but there were no what now. americans watching tonight were not assuaged there's going to be a battle against encryption and dark spaces where these people can communicate overseas without detection, a way that o

i want to bring in steve hayes. i think it has political implications.ts, please. >> tonight's republican debate. i would argue that there are two components to this. rising anxiety. the fact that we have had attacks. we have had the attack in san bernardino. some of the attacks homegrown. that is contributing to this anxiety. i think we have seen it especially over the past several weeks. you have a white house. you have an administration did not only incapable of protecting americans from these kinds of threats, they are not leveling with the american people about the nature of the threat. about the scope of the threat. we have seen this on a wide for id of issues. providing bogus statistics. false reassurances about the dangers of jihad that he is releasing from 1 pound mole. you have the president say that isis is contained. you had the president say that al qaeda was decimated. the christmas day bomber was an isolated extremist. all along, this is not the threat that you have been told it is. we have everything controlled. it turns out, that was wro

steve hayes, senior writer for "the weekly standard," and syndicated columnist charles kraft.ra, obviously the president has now a few times come out and tried to calm fears of americans, one with that sunday prime time address and now at the pentagon. >> he sounded tougher today than he did in that sunday address where he talked about what we weren't going to do. this is the problem with him. he gets very poor marks about fighting with the american people, and he needs to show something on the ground where isis is shrinking and there has to be a point where there is not terror attacks. it sounds like he's doing more of what he said the strategy should be, hitting from the air. the problem with the white house is it needs a fighting force on the ground. the kurds can only do so much because they're not willing to get into territory that's there. >> they're still having a hard time getting weapons from the u.s. >> yeah, but the missing link is where are the sunni fighting for us on the ground, and it doesn't seem to be there. >> to me it's no mystery why it there. they tonight

steve hayes, senior writer for the "weekly standard," kirsten powers, "u.s.a. today" columnist and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. charles? >> well, first of all it's not surprising that we spy on other leaders, what is surprising that obama announced publicly after the merkel scandal that we would cease doing that to close allies. so apparently we did for close nato allies. but apparently made just a few exceptions, one of them is the leader of turkey, erdogan, not exactly a savory character and the other one was a close ally of democracy, an elected lead anywhere netanyahu. you could understand that, if there were reports that israel might launch a preemptive attack in 2011 or 2012. that would perhaps be a national security reason. but this was not about that. this was long after obama was re-elected. long after it was obvious that the israelis were not going to conduct a surprise attack. this was about trying to get through the congress the iran agreement. that is not a validated quote unquote national security purpose. this is a way to win a battl

steve hayes, senior writer for the "weekly standard," a.b. stoddard of "the hill" and charles krauthammer. the "washington post" pulled the cartoon, but is not planning to offer a formal apology. a.b., what do you think? >> i think the world knows, everything it needs to know about this, about this event. pulling the cartoon is an acknowledgement that it wasn't the right thing to do. ted cruz has used his daughters in political commercials. which is pretty rare. but it's still not appropriate for the media to exploit, make fun of, include children in any kind of cartoons or criticism. or even good, well-intentioned jokes, really to include the children of politicians, it's off-limits, it always is and it really, even in the age of trump, we hope it continues to be. >> steve, we've seen uproar with regard to candidates and even the president and his two daughters. his children go to a nice private school there were charter school groups and scholarship groups that were saying why shouldn't all students have the chance to go to those schools. t

let's bring in steve hayes, senior writer for the "weekly standard," amy walter for the cook political report and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. charles? >> on the story about the meeting with journalists and him saying that this is all hyped up, you know, he didn't see it on cable. i think i wasn't there. but i think of course i wasn't there, but i, to me he was being sarcastic. he me, this is a sort of way of dissing, showing condescension. to the rabble. after all this is an interview he gave january 23rd of this year. as do you think if the media sometimes overstates the level of alarm people should have about terrorism? barack obama, absolutely and i don't even blame the media for that. what's the saying? if it bleeds, it leads? you show crime stories and local newscasts, because that's what the folks watch. >> this is obama essentially saying, well, you know, the reason people are upset about this, is because it's been hyped on television and they are not as cool intelligent and far-seeing as i am. this is his usual professorial condescension. the fact that the "times"

steve hayes, is this a seed change, a seminole moment in recaptures iraq. battle against isis. >> absolutely not. a good thing to have recaptured ramadi. it matters how ramadi was recaptured and the extent of the reliance, still, of the core remnants and other shiite militia groups even if the iraqi security forces were trying to hide their involvement will not be lost on iraqis who live in the region. and, you know, you had abady saying today we are moving in connection with to mosul. if he moves too quickly if you have the iraqi security forces move too quickly to take mosul who is going to be left to hold ramadi. by definition you also have to hold the shiite militia groups. if steve warren says this is a proud moment for iraq, my question is it also a proud moment for iran? >> this is an important component as well that the u.s. air force is absolutely instrumental in retaking this kind of territory. it took, aaccording to our pentagon producer over 600 u.s. air strikes since july to help forces to get near the center of ramadi. none. >> there are groun

. >>> joining me now, steve hayes, and guy benson. great to see you both. steve, the gloves are off, they are. and it takes a lot to get the ire of levin and limbaugh but trump has managed here. >> you wondered all along when people like rush limbaugh and mark levin would turn on donald trump. he's made a series of errors and gaffes and offensive statements, misstatements, that haven't won the ire of both of them. but this, the attack on ted cruz, seems to have done that. i think that could really mark a turning point. if levin and limbaugh and other conservative talkradio types turn on donald trump right now in favor of ted cruz, because they think trump has gone too far, that really could signal to others who have supported donald trump that this is sort of the end of it. now it's time to get behind a real conservative as republicans make this push for the white house. >> this happens, guy, as cruz is surging. support for cruz is up by 13.5%. support for him in the latest poll in des moines is up 21 points. trump's support has peaked, and so this happening

steve hayes senior writer for the weekly stand'd.yulely pace, and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. charles? >> the rubio/cruz match last night was the highlight of the evening. but what's so interesting is what it led to today. rubio was willing to take a hit on an issue he knows he is the least popular with. with the gop electorate. but he did it in order to be able to ask one question. of cruz. which is always a danger in the debate. a, you're giving up your time. and b, you have no idea what he's going to say. but what he elicited from cruz was the statement that he had never supported legalization. that was a mistake as was exposed in this unbelievable questioning that you did today. because when you asked him that, he had no answer. he pretends now that he did that in order to kill the bill. but it's clear from the record that he said at the time, repeatedly, and not even in congress, but even in the meeting at princeton with one of his old professors, robbie george, that he wanted to pass the bill but wanted instead of

jill tulty and steve hayes. >> it's a sad couple of days with the tragic events in san bernardino yesterday and the obviously the fbi hasn't made their /@4x ial determination. it looks like the main suspect may have been radicalized in some way. yesterday as it was happening, president obama said this about the issue ofk gun control. >> for those who are concerned about terrorism, some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can't get on planes. but the same people we don't allow to fly could go into a store right now in the united states and buy a firearm and there's nothing that we can do to stop them. >> he's calling for legislation. you're thoughts on all of this and as it develops? >> the first impulse i would have rather than talking about gun control is to make sure that we protect the#fbx homeland. and last week the meta data program was ended. on november 30th. i think it ought to be restored. there was apparently some tracking, if he was radicalized, there were suspects that were being followed by the fbi. this is the job of the president, it isn't to tur

steve hayes who appears frequently on fox has been on the no fly list.ng we restrict people who have had no due process and no opportunity from due process from buying guns is not going to stop guns. california has some of the toughest gun laws in americáí killings happen there. murders happen every weekend in chicago with some of the toughest gun laws in america. the terrorist attack in paris gun laws the type of gun laws obama dreams of imposing on america. new gun laws are not going to top terrorists and the terrorists should know that. >> these are deliberate. would f. we expand background checks beyond the gun show loophole then those people don't have access to guns. >> let's talk about this so-called gun show loophole. i don't know if you have been to gun shows. >> i have. in arizona. >> you can't just walk up -- it's a fallacy to think that most of these boost booths -- thee are federally licensed dealers they are north going to hand you a gun without a back ground check. >> i live in the state of washington it has the so-called gun show lop hole

steve hayes, nina easton, and former democratic senator evan bayh. thank you for joining us today.s is not the first time we heard a comment from donald trump. he called rosie o'donnell a fat pig, a slob, appeared to make reference to megyn kelly's cycles. praised vladimir putin. he didn't know what the nuclear triad was, our ballistic armor of submarines, bombers and missiles. he called senator mccain no war hero, and it goes on and on. with each perceived gaff, he rises in the polls. senator, i'll give you first shot. what explains this? >> he's defying the normal laws of political gravity. any of these would have brought a normal candidate down to earth with a resounding thud. his core supporters love that he's not politically correct. so these comments endear him to them even more. the fact that he's made that are verifiable are the mainstream media and political class are loathed by his supporters, so that doesn't hurt him. you take all this together and it doesn't hurt him in the republican primaries. but it makes him unelectable in a general election. swing voters will not g

editor of townhall.com, katie pavlich is back and "weekly standard" senior writer steve hayes is here. welcome to all of you. stunning details coming to light a short time ago. federal investigators believe that tashfeen malik swore allegiance to isis on facebook. as investigators say there is also a quote, very serious possibility that she may have served her husband's terror trainer and that they were being planning or i should say planning a second attack after opening fire on syed farook's office christmas party that killed 14 people and wounded 21 others. trace gallagher live in san bernardino with more. trace? reporter: the big headline, andrea, we know that fox news confirmed that tashfeen malik went on facebook using alias, and pledged her allegiance to abu bakr, the head of isis. also sometime before the attack she tried to go back on facebook to delete that post. clearly the feds were able to recover it. they say there is no evidence that isis directed these attacks but certainly isis inspired the attacks. keep in mind that isis told all of its followers to attack their home

steve hayes, senior writer forethe "weekly standard."ournier, senior political columnist of the "national journal," mara liasson of the npr. first is the naughty list when it comes to politics in 2016. >> yeah. the person on my naughty list at the very top of my naughty list is actually people. the mainstream media. i think the coverage of president obama and hillary clinton in particular this past year has been abysmal. i'll use two examples, one, president obama a week ago was talking about closing guantanamo. he said two things that were factually incorrect. clearly unequivocally wrong, misleading, not true. virtually no media coverage of the president's misstatements or of the president's lying. second that hillary clinton, hillary clinton benghazi testimony was filled with things that were either incorrect or deliberately misleading. and aside from a couple of reporters who fact-checked her claims, the media basically celebrated the the fact she had won a victory over the mean and evil republicans. >> lump of coal who do you give it

steve hayes is here.on special report last night here at you do not think that this will work. you think that it is good for hillary. explain yourself. >> i do. i do. this is not a question of propriety. i think that bill clinton deserves all the criticism he gets on this stuff and more. the question is wisdom. if you look at hillary clinton's popularity over the years, she has rarely been more popular then she was when she was a victim of oakland and many sexual refs and all the headlines surrounding that. if you want to criticize hillary clinton, you can look at the world today. the world is falling apart. hillary clinton has written a 500 plus page book detailing her stage for this. that is not something that bill clinton would have done two decades ago. >> trompe raising the issue putting bill clinton back in the white house. here are voters presented with this. you want this admin the white house? that is the effect this. >> many people have fond memories of the clinton administration. look at the fa

martha: joined by steve hayes, senior writer for "the weekly standard" and fox news contributor. e, good morning to you. >> good morning, martha. martha: what do you make of the comment by rush limbaugh? >> it is interesting. i think there are plenty of previous indications that donald trump is not a genuine conservative. he is an outside agitator rather than somebody who has been conservative for any length of time or conservative of convenience. i think rush is right on the broader point. this could be a mistake by donald trump to be challenging ted cruz in this way frontally. i'm very interested to see what he does in the debate tonight. on one hand you seen trump sort of shrink in these debates. he hasn't been a force of personality, dominated debates the way we grow accustomed to behave in speeches, in his television interviews. on the other hand we've seen him sort of flail a little bit when he senses that he is down or vulnerable. as he did in that one speech he gave sort of rant that he gave after ben carson was rising in the polls. so it will be interesting see how trump

steve hayes has written a lot about it. who directed those intelligence officers to tone it down when it came to isis. this is a big story. >> winners aren't loser by donald trump. a lowers is a lowers, which one will you be. winners do deals and winners get rich while sad little losers just sit there and pitch. bill: donald trump having fun with kimmel reading that mock children's book. tom brady, "star wars" and he got to keep the book for a souvenir. he was kimmel's only book for the night. martha: it's hilarious. donald trump jump's in and finishes the ends of the story. here's what's coming up. a police deputy and a daring rescue leaping out. look at this. it jumps out at the cruiser it's like a movie. critics slamming trump. that's just the republicans. we'll ask his son eric about the criticism and what he told his father about the race for the white house. first o'reilly and trump. >> you don't think you are too thin skinned, you will have to overlook some of this stuff if you become president. our truck? it's touri

if it took people like ted kennedy and steve hayes weeks or months to get off the list how long do you think it will take the little guy in arkansas, for that matter how long do you think it will take patriotic muslim americans who are most likely because of confusion about their names of suspected terrorists on that list to get off the list? what other rights would democrats like to deprive american citizens of without notice and due process? the right to free speech? right to practice their religion? right to petition their government? right against unreasonable searches and seizures? right to trial by jury? right to confront their accusers right to get just compensation when their property is taken? democrats should quit being so politically correct. they should focus on winning the war against radical islam. if they did, maybe fewer americans would feel the need to buy firearms to protect themselves from terrorist attacks. madam president, i yield the floor. mr. alexander: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: this is a day of rare oppor

now our sunday group, the weekly standard steve haze -- hayes and former senator bayh, and nina eastonand anne gearan, and praised vladimir putin as a great leader and ignored what he has done to opponents and journalists in that country, and did not know what the nuclear triad was, submarine bombers and missiles and called senator john mccain no war hero and it goes on and on and on but with each gaffe he rises in the polls. senator, what explains this? >> clearly he is defying the normal laws of political gravity. any of these let alone all of them would have brought a normal political figure down to earth. a couple of things. first, his core supporters love the fact that he is not politically correct. in some ways the comments endear him to them more. second the people would point this out and the fact that he has made statements that are not verifiable are the mainstream media and the political class who are loathed by his supporters so that does not hurt. you take all of this together, and it is just going to not hurt him in the republican primaries but as professor larry sob -- s
