those are not a small or unserious powers.harlie: without their support of the sanctions, would they have been effective as they were? roger: no. and if this deal is rejected, which is unlikely in the end, nor is it going to be approved in an ideal way, the sanctions regime would fall apart. china, russia would conclude that the united states is unserious about an agreement that has been two years in the making. when you look at the president's argument that there was no other way, and the people who criticize us have no other argument other than military force, is the president right about that? is there no other way that you could have wrought about an irani and rejection of nuclear power? -- iranian ejection of weaponize to nuclear power -- rejection of weaponized nuclear power? roger: i don't support complete dismantlement. i don't think complete dismantlement was ever on the table. iran is proud of the nuclear technology. it says it's not for use as a bomb, it is not as a signatory of the iaea. it has a right to develop t

. >> raise taxes on hedge fund managers to end the debt and deficit, fundamentally unserious.verybody knows when you look at the budget, entitlement are driving our debt and deficits. there are not enough rich people in the united states or enough billionaires in the entire world to tax them enough to make a significant debt in this country's $18 trillion debt as trump days. >> donald trump is also the king of the tax code, so you might not understand it the way -- >> leeri lclearly i do. and my criticisms don't matter at all. this is what we're saying. who doesn't want to put h & r block out of business? part of what he says really resonates. but it isn't serious. the part about how you're really going to fix the debt and deficit isn't serious. you can't tax the rich enough. >> of all the things on earth to criticize donald trump for being unserious about, the idea of raising taxes on the very rich and i think he's talking about carried interest -- we don't know because he didn't get specific. >> that's also the problem. >> people are talking about it, ron. people have discus

those are not small or unserious powers. >> rose: and without their support of the sanctions, would they have been effective if they were. >> no. and if this deal is rejected which i think is unlikely in the end and will be approved in a moment tuesday accord, the sanctions regime would fall apart because china and russia would conclude the united states is unserious about an agreement that has been two years in the making. >> rose: when you look at the president's argument for what it is that there was no other way and that the people who criticizes has no other argument other than military force. is the president right about that? is there no other way that you could have brought about an iranian rejection of nuclear power, weaponnized nuclear power. >> i don't think complete dismantlement which is initially what prime minister netanyahu pushed for. i don't think complete dismantlement was ever on the table. iran is proud of the nuclear technology its developed. it says it's not for use for a bomb, it says as a signatory of the iaea, of course it has a right to develop this technology.

i looked at it unseriously over the years but last year pretty seriously. i said, what do you mean?f you ever actually announce, you're going to go through -- she knows people like me. actually i'm a nice person. nobody knows that. it's true. people don't -- i tell people i'm a nice person. in some ways it's not good. we'll talk about china and negotiations. i don't want to be a nice person for them. i am, i'm a nice american. and my wife said to me, she said, if you run, you're going to win. but you have to announce because if they take polls nobody's going to say you're running. right? and ann knows that. and i said, well, i don't know. and i'll tell you why, it takes courage to run. it really does. you're really exposing yourself like crazy. the press is honestly a lot of the press is, especially the political press -- you know the financial press has been pretty good to me over the years. in "business week" magazine they named me a while ago the best in a people's poll the best negotiator. wouldn't that be nice to have a good negotiator? i don't want to brag about it. but wouldn

i think trump looked fairly unserious next to everyone else. i think his stick works really well on the stump. but when asked questions, you know he doesn't have a lot of answers. and i think that really came into focus: i think to hit for the cycle, you have to have a personality moment. you have to make a great point and maybe you get the opportunity to clarify on a pass of misstep. and, on that i think chris christie and marco spgs rubio had a graets niebt e night tonight. i think jeb bush and scott walker performed well. they did no harm. i didn't see any mistakes but i also didn't see a whole lot of movement from them coming out of this debate. so we'll have to -- the only person i thought had a terrible night was rand paul. he looked pretty child ishish haranguing chris christie for the hug. >> and the flip side of that jech what do you think about this is for in a race which donald trump has sucked audiotape a lot of the establishment, did chris christie and rand paul claim back some of that mental pulsing saying that repeatedly chris ch

serious and unserious. >> stay with me, everyone.ack, donald trump's surge in the polls. can he defie the conventional wisdom and win the white house. ♪"once there was a hushpuppy" by dan romis man kind?eitlin ♪ are we good? go see. go look through their windows so you can understand their views. go find out just how kind the hes and shes of this mankind are. in the nation, we know how you feel about your car. so when coverage really counts, you can count on nationwide. ♪ love because what's precious to you is precious to us. ♪ love is strange just another way we put members first. jo did we just start looking for a house? it looks pretty good, yeah, all right. oh, did you see that listing on zillow i sent you? yup. you see that bathroom? oh well i think that's the one. me too. ok. did we just decide to buy a house? i think so. yay. find your way home, zillow. >>> if you thought donald trump would flame out by now, you'd be very, very wrong. not only does he have a substantial lead in the new cnn iowa poll by 22%. his best chance to

it would be nice if he runs because it would inject some seriousness in what has been an unserious campaignr. i don't think he's going to run. it gets late early in presidential politics. let me address something that was said about the clinton campaign because despite everything that she just talked about and, you know, there are some serious self-inflicted wounds here. if the election for president were held today, she would be elected president. she's winning national polls and winning ties in swing is states. bernie sanders has made in roads in new hampshire which is next to him and iowa which is traditionally a very unpredictable state. the rest of the country with a much bigger electorate she's dominant in. >> even though there were revelations in the e-mail server that clinton e-mails were classified under an executive order signed by the president. the state department remaining quiet over the handling of the e-mails while secretary clinton was in office. >> the e-mail is sort of unfathomable. i can't understand why they made that. it's a little bit of a 20th century political handl

he read "green eggs and ham" on the senate floor, but despite the fact that he was totally unseriousate floor, he did succeed in shutting down the government. so we've got to make sure the country knows what's happening here, that republicans are going to prepare to go to great lengths when it comes to shutting down funds for women's health. you mentioned earlier in the show donald trump's comments about women. so we got those comments, we've got ted cruz threatening to shut down programs for women's health and willing to shut down the government to do it. >> right. >> so we have a big fight on our hands. we didn't let them shut down the affordable care act last time, we're not going to let them shut down planned parenthood this time. but we have a fight on our hands. >> what's worse, president ted cruz, or president donald trump? >> oh, my god, don't do that to me. i'm confident the country is watching this spectacle and given the choices they've seen on the republican side, we're going to do very well on the democratic side. but, you know, people do not want to go down that extremi

he can't be treated as unserious candidate.eb is doing exactly that what the donors want is essentially people to call him out and talk about specifics. he has proven himself a masterful speech maker with rhetoric that doesn't have a lot of substance to it. and truth be told, eric, this early in the process, in august, when folks aren't taking -- paying attention, it will kick up after labor day. labor day comes late this year. to put down a major white paper policy is very, very risky. if you talk about the economics of things now with the way things have been on the markets and the ways the numbers and the government change every couple of reports, the ground will shift under your feet as soon as you put out a policy. trump arguably is pretty cagey as a politician by talking about sort of half expressed very emotional rhetoric, and getting people to sort of all hone in on what he is trying to say but not literally saying in a journalistic sense or anything that causes to you say oh there is a campaign promise he is going to h

believes you're running, because i looked at it serious, mostly last time, i looked at it but very unseriously, but last time i looked at it seriously and i said what do you mean? she goes if you ever actual lie announce, you're going to go -- she knows people like me, i'm a nice person. nobody knows that. it's true. i tell people i'm a nice person. in some ways it's not good, now we're going to talk about china and negotiations, i don't want to be a nice person for that. i am. i love helping people, and my wife said to me, milania, she said if you run, you're going to win, but you have to announce, if they take polls nobody is going to say you're running. right? and i said, well, i don't know. and i'll tell you what, it takes courage to run. it really does. you're really exposing yourself. right? [ applause ] a lot of the press, especially the political press, you know the financial press has been pretty good to me over the years. in "business week" magazine, they named me awhile ago, the best -- >> there's a little more of donald trump, in dubuque, iowa in a rally on his campaign trail. >>>

when trump pulls this kind of stunt with her, that show justs people he's an unserious person and even if they like his lack of political correctness, he looks like a grade a something something clown. there's just no way of getting around that. so the conservatives i've been speaking to -- i'm down here in atlanta at the red state gathering. the conservatives i've been speaking to, the people they've had good things to say coming out of the debate are carly fiorina and marco rubio. i've not heard people saying good things about donald trump and that accords with the data. >> what do you make of rush limbaugh who in many ways is the grand vizier on the right. he's got 10% of the country behind him backing up trump. what's that? in the media fight here. he's throwing in with trump against fox. >> yeah, i don't know. i don't listen to rush hlimbaug. it's hard to opine. >> engage his dismissal like that -- >> i think fox has much more clout when talking about the republican party and actual republican voters at this point probably than rush does, whether he likes that or not. whether he s

he'll do it because of the poll negatives but take his positions seriously, many are fundamentally unserious so talk to him instead of shunning him? >> engage him on the ideas. if we really think we're going to get mexico to build a fence to impound all remittances to mexico while calling them rapists, if you want to live in the fantasy world, have a conversation about it, because at some point the gop is going to have to talk to its own base and say there is no such thing as feeling the border unless -- >> we got to make this quick. i was talking to a top gop insider who said no way he's going to become president. i think that attitude has to go away. >> that is the attitude that republican leadership has had, that the rnc had had for weeks, it's not true. he's not going away, he's here to stay right through january. >> gang, thanks so much. we had to condense that segment because of breaking news. "lou dobbs tonight" will have analysis of donald trump's rally in alabama. starts at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. you don't want to miss it. >> thank you for joining us on this friday, the final day o

but it does zero rates reveal a fed that is failed in its state of objective and it also reveals unseriousness that what reasonable economist eager to mawk correct or supply of anything plentiful would lower the cost of it to zero? by definition per what james said you're going to push savers out who won't offer up access to resources at very low rates. they could float the rate in when they find is that suddenly lots of resources would reach the real economy. >> gentleman thank you very much. we have some breaking news, it is official now the epa just proposing fresh new rules demanding a 40 po to 45% cut this is just the latest of a regulation pile on energy companies say is government overreach. we're digging in, and just a couple of moments we're going to tell you exactly what this means for you and your energy bills. meanwhile more breaking news on the iranian nuclear deal. senator bob menendez is set to make his decision we pretty much know what it will be. he's telegraphed that this decision. he doesn't like the nuclear deal. he hasn't exactly spelled it out in details he's been a very
