Powers, beck will all analyze. I saw you on the senate floor flip your vote on Crop Insurance because they told you it would help you in iowa. Also ahead, senator marco rubio will join us. And we will give you the latest poll numbers. Caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Hi, im bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. A lively Republican Debate and that is the subject of this eveningsx36a talking points memo. Okay. Lets assess all seven of the candidates on the stage last night one by one. However, i want to start withv this ridiculous ted cruz born in canada business. Why are we wasting time on this . Why . Senator cruz is an american citizen. He is entitled to run for president. Thats it. It doesnt mattera÷ what some harvard lawyer says. It doesnt matter what his political opponents say. Cruz is eligible to run. So im not going to spend any time on it ever again. As to the debate, i felt sorry for ben carson last night. In the first hour we saw him twice. In fact, the doctor spoke for only 8 minutes 26 seconds last night compared to 18 minutes for ted cruz. Its simply impossible for ben carson to compete under those circumstances you will see his position in the polls not um prove very much. Dr. Carson is a good man. He has run a dignified campaign but he is not going to win. Jeb bush had his best debate last night. He was strong on foreign policy, did not back down from donald trump. In fact, when trumplpg attacked the governor, the crowd didnt like it. We dont need a weak person being president of the United States, okay . Because thats what we get if it were jeb. I will tell you what, we dont need that. [crowd booing] jeb bush spoke for 12. 5 minutes last night and he helped himself. How much . I dont know. The governor will hang in there and hope lightning strikes something because he needs divine intervention at this point. John kasich got as much air time as mr. Bush and, again, kasich has been a terrific governor in ohio. But his record is simply not enough in this age of anger. Governor does not reflect the mood of the republican voters. Evidence prefers to be a policy guy when the folks want emotion and confrontation. In another time john kasich might have carried the day he would not this year. Governor christie was his usual feisty self. I believe he is a contender for Vice President. Christie is competing well in New Hampshire but does not seem to have enough juice to defeat the frontrunners. He is, however, very effective in attacking if you are worried about the world being on fire and how we are military. Worried most of all about keeping your homes and your families safe and secure. You cannot give Hillary Clinton a third term of Barack Obamas leadership. I will not do that if im the nominee. She wont get within 10 miles of the white house. So, i will not be surprised if Chris Christie gets the v. P. Nod on the republican ticket. Viously the gs votes from the northeast. That leaves us with the three main contenders right now. Trump, cruz, and rubio. Lets take senator rubio first. He is an excellent debater. Weave all know that and he displayed his skills last night. He filleted ted cruz on his voting record. You use to do support tpa. Now you say you are against it i saw you on the senate floor flop your vote on Crop Insurance because they told you it would help new iowa. And last week we all saw you flip your vote in iowa for the same reason. That is not consistent conservatism that is political calculation. Cruz hammered rubio for being a guy soft on illegal immigration. That back and forth between the two men was entertaining. They also went after each other on taxes. Marco rubio has a legitimate chance to win the nomination and is feared by the Clinton Campaign because he is articulate. His demographic profile works in a general election and makes Hillary Clinton look older. Whether rubio can convince hard core conservative americans to back him we mains to be seen. The senator will be with us in just a few moments and i have some very specific questions for him. Ted cruz also very strong debater but got in trouble challenging donald trump on new york values. I think most people know exactly what new york values are. But everyone understands that the values in new york city proabortion, progay marriage. Not a lot of conservatives come out of manhattan. Im just saying. [ laughter ] when the World Trade Center came down i saw something no place on earth could have handled more beautifully, more humanely than new york. And everybody in the world watched and everybody in the world loved new york and loved new yorkers. I have to tell you, that was a very insulting statement that ted made. [ applause ] trump won that exchange, but cruz won the canada between the two men. Ted cruz had the most speaking time last night mere nearly 18 minutes as we mentioned donald trump right behind 17 minutes 15 seconds. Mr. Trump did not back away from his tough antiimmigration stance concerning mexicans and muslims. He also hammered china but was a bit vague on the terrify issue. As we all know, its all about demeanor for donald trump. Not policy. Continues to lead in the polls because he is perceived as an avenger. A person who will knock down the political establishment. Thats what Many Republican voters want this time around. And trump delivered again last night. Trump also set the agenda onka4a immigration. He continues to support a temporary ban on all muslims entering america from abroad. Including Syrian Refugees. In deference to that stance, all the other g. O. P. Candidates, except senator rubio said they would prevent any person from is syria coming here until better background checks could be developed. Rubio is a bit nuanced on that. I will ask him coming up. So, one more debate here on the Fox News Channel before the iowa vote on february 1st. The race is still fluid. Anything can happen. Stock market is blowing up. Who is that going to help . Donald trump. However, realistically, it looks like cruz, rubio, and trump are best positioned to secure the nomination. And thats the memo. Now uez next on the rundown, we have reaction from bolling, rivera, powers, and glenn beck. Up ahead. Performance. Reimagined. Style. Reinvented. Sophistication. Redefined. Introducing the allnew lexus rx and rx hybrid. Agile handling. Available 12. 3inch navigation screen and panorama glass roof. Never has luxury been this expressive. This is the pursuit of perfection. Im mary ellen, and i quit smoking with chantix. I have smoked for thirty years and by taking chantix, i was able to quit in three months. And that was amazing. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. It absolutely reduced my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common side effect is nausea. I cant believe i did it. I quit smoking. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. It takes all kinds of jobs. And the best place to find the job thats right for you is on the worlds numberone job site. Indeed. How the world works. Rivera, what you the most. The debate. The debate. Ted cruz. Im mist find by your stance that ted cruz is in some way surging or that this is part of his momentum. The end of ted cruz . I think donald trump has stopped him in his tracks. You have no idea how this whole canadian thing is resonating. There is a difference in peoples minds putting aside the constitutional aspect between a born citizen and a naturally born citizen. Yes, he is a citizen. But he is he a naturally born citizen . I can make the argument statutorily and more importantly it is pooh n. Peoples minds now. We polling numbers this weekend and on monday im going to pull that sound bite and see where cruz is do you think the canadian thing. Nothing. Terrible. Its two against one. Okay. Im the only lawyer. So last night i think there is a clear winner and there is a a clear loser. For me clear winner is donald trump. He showed a side you talked about iten n. Your talking points. He showed a sign of himself they havent seen. Empathetic side. He has never shown empathy. That was a good moment for trump. He has now proved he has become the best politician of all of them. Most likeable. Now the best politician. I disagree with your talking points on jeb bush. I think he was a clear loser. Why . Because he sat there. He was more of the same. There is nothing he needed to strike out. He needed to stake his claim. Make his case for why. I thought he made his case. On Everything National security, he made his case can i just add one more thing . When Lindsey Graham spent 15 or 20 minutes today and the two of them saying that he supports jeb bush for president , the two of them standing there, you know, donald trump said jeb bush has no energy. No energy in the campaign. They epitomized it today. 12 of them standing around long faces. No one smiled. Martin van burn was like comatose. I think it wasq jeb bushs best night. No doubt about it but one thing that nobody is mentioning and that you have to really lay this at the door of ted cruz. We are in new york. New york is the center of Jewish American life. I have heard from more jews than i can tell you as one, saying that ted cruz was really really saying new york values, aka jewish values. Thats bull. Antisemantic tones to that. Oh, stop it. That is so far out i cant believe it. You are projecting that. Now, now, now. Would you both agree with me and bolling answers first that there are really three contenders now . Absolutely. Its cruz, its rubio, and its trump. You both concur with that . Yep. More or less. I think that jeb bush will surprise. He will hang in. Chris christie on the heroin issue. Can i talk about christie for a second . Sure. Chris christie had a great debate. I would have put him in the top one or two last night except he lied about everything he said. New jersey is not easier to get a conceal carry license in new jersey. You live in new jersey. I live there. Common core is not going way. He did kind of support sotomayor and there are many, many accounts that he wrote a check to planned parenthood. In 1995. Whatever. He says he never has. He is running in a blue state for goodness state. Republican running in a blue state. We cant gz i tried to vet these things. Its a gray area about all of this. But that doesnt really matter because what i said is absolutely true. Going back to your Vice President is where Chris Christie. What does everyone get christie. I like that idea. I had not thought of that idea. Christie is going im telling you he is going to be considered because jersey could go for christie. They need some northeast presence. But, more importantly, christie can destroy Hillary Clinton on the trail. Leaving the candidate if its trump, you dont need him because trump will do it. But if its the other guys, that makes them look president ial. What about trump p 37ajjt marco rubio. Now you have florida. Trump is going to need ohio or florida. If trump gets the nomination rivera is vp. [ laughter ] at least i can speak spanish. [ laughter ] then he gets all the jewish and puerto rico can votes. What else are you . Jewish, puerto rican what else . Im new york born and raised thats what i am. Rubios crossexamination of ted cruz was so cutting, so effective. When he went through that list of i was there when you changed your mind on ethanol. You dont like him personally. That is true. You dont like him. I saw him come to new york and beg for money. So what . I was at the event and there i was. You cant say new york values and then come say give me your money. Come on. Im a new yorker, too. When cruz says new york values, im not offended. I understand that this city is an ultra liberal city. Who is the mayor . Moussaouiy ton. Who is is the mayor of new york . Come on. Ted cruz wears cowboy boots because he settles in texas. Settle in delaware where his mom is from he would be wearing thongs. Its such an opportunist. Poor ted cruz, look. I dont want analysis based on people who like and dont like. I dont like that. Trump is the winner. Trump is the nominee. All right. You say . Trump wins and if he is smart he will pick rubio as vp. Not a bad idea. You see trump rubio and you see. Cant lose. I think the trump christie idea. If trump is watching this program, he is happy tonight. These guys are crowning him. All right. Directly ahead, Kirsten Powers, a democrat will give us her take on the debate. Glenn beck will do the same. Factor is coming right back. Right now, all hp ink is buy one get one 50 off office depot officemax. Gear up for great. [so i use quickbooks and run mye entire business from the cloud. I keep an eye on sales and expenses from anywhere. Even down here in the dark i can still see were having a great month. And celebrate accordingly. I run on quickbooks. Thats how i own it. Virgin islands nice so nice so nice, so nice spend a few days in the u. S. Virgin islands and return with a lifetime of experiences. Thats Virgin Islands nice. So nice, so nice impact segment tonight, its estimated 11 million americans watched the debate last night on the fox business network, one of those Kirsten Powers who joins us from washington. You can top those two that bolling and rivera . Oh, yeah. Im going to bring it, bill. Okay. What was the head line for you in the debate . I would say the winners were trump and cruz and the losers were jeb and carson. Thats interesting there seems to be a little bit of a divide here about jebs performance last night. You seem to think he did a good job and so does geraldo. Im with bolling on this. I think it was actually one of his weakest performances. Okay, why . Because, its actually has a lot to do with the fact that he seemsx f very uncomfortable. He has this dear in the headlights look on the face. He doesnt land any punches. Made that stupid attack on trump on the muslim issue which was just a set up for trump to call him weak which i think we could all see that coming. He hasnt been able to really to break through on the stage. At this point, if he cant do it by now, we will cut him some slack earlier on in the race you are getting comfortable and rusty. At this point he should be able to bring a game at this point and he is not. I dont know what the a game would be. Im analyzing these guys for who they are not who people wish they would be. Right. Jeb bush is a reserved man. He is not a bomb thrower. Not an entertainer. Doesnt go out for rhetorical excess. Running on a platform, look, i know what im doing. I can protect the country. Can i revive the economy. I have done it in florida. I have experience. And i am your guy if you want stability. I think that came55w across last night. Thats what he is running on. Well, everything you just said, actually, isnt what the primary voters are looking for. Different conversation about those things. Thats true. Anger, and thats whats holding him back. Right. I dont think you can say he did a bad performance if he was himself and thats who he is. Well, i disagree. I dont think being yourself is what you are being asked to do. I dont necessarily think that people are up there just here i am. They are trying to make a case that they are going to represent the people who are voting. And i dont think that he is doing that. So you say donald trump won the debate last night . I would say cruz and it was certainly in my mind trumps strongest performance to date. Outside the new york values thing which everybody acknowledges was very, very well put. What else . Well. I think we cant discount that i think it was incredibly powerful moment. Separate from that i think he is starting to come across little more president ial, less bombastic. Still very strong and uncompromising. Uncompromising is extremely important. He is able to find that balance. Some things he hit on like his answer on trade even if i dont necessarily agree with what he is saying. He has tapped into the feeling in the United States which his answer would appeal to democrats and republicans, frankly which is that they feel that workers are getting a raw deal and the government is not looking out for them and china is taking advantage of us. When he was questioned on the muslim question, again, i dont agree with him on that, but he is uncompromising. He stands by what he believes. I think thats what the voters really want right now. They want somebody who is willing to say unpopular things and stand by them. The other candidates like Chris Christie and kasich and carson, you know, do you think they have a chance . No. Well, definitely carson does not have a chance. I would make him probably the biggest loser of the night. He just is out of his depth. He is not there is really no reason for him to be there anymore. Before you can say well he was surging in the polls. At this point he just seems sort of lost and, he wastes his time complaining about not getting enough attention when he is not at the top of the polls. Far and away the less amount of time. I didnt think that was fair, did you . Yeah. I totally thought it was fair. He is not one of the top tier candidates why should he be getting more time. All the other candidates got substantially more time. He only got eight minutes. I think he should have been called on more. I dont think so. Because i dont think he is a serious contender. And i think the other people are serious contenders. Not fair. And spent the most time on the people who are
