washington post said it well this morning. they said i'll trump as far is the media is concerned has gone from being on thinkable to unethical. without passing go, it's just extraordinary the way our colleagues in the media almost all of them who cover politics full-time have been wrong about trump suddenly all of a sudden there's no way to stop him or as drudge said, it's over. well it ain't over and i think what you heard from marco rubio last night and the thing he's now settled on which is absolutely that the weak spot of donald trump which is the gap between as steve says what he says and what he does, the fact that he only hired 17 300 people who applied for jobs in florida, that's where he's going to be hurt but the media have only recently turned their attention to that. gregg: trump leads in almost12 states or 11 states that will vote next tuesday . which stands in stark contrast of course to what many in the media and pundits were saying last summer and in the fall. our pundits finally admitting you know what? we did

kristin fisher is live from washington. what is the fbi saying now? >> reporter: well, jowly former senior fbi agents said the characterization of the fbi investigation is misleading. she called it a security rerow and 100 percent confident that nothing would come from it. >> absolutely no concern what so ever. 100 percent confident. this is a security review that was requested and carried out and will be resolved. >> reporter: but former fbi agents said that the fbi doesn't do secure review and only do criminal investigations. snshg calling it a security review was a maching it to appear to min myself the consequence of what is a serious situation. >> reporter: that former fbi agent said no way someone in the center of the ongoing investigation can know the outcome. >> so during the debate clinton claimed that two of her predecessor received private e-mails? joishgs two other former secretary of state colun power and staffers for condoleezza rice sent and received class foyed e-mails. but how they responded about this yesterday? >> these e-mails orig

justice scalia's replacement will not be decided by the washington power brokers. >> we all want to get secrets on accountable money politics that start with appointing a new justice to the supreme court. >> now, the supreme court returns from a month long recess tomorrow. and they will begin hearing article arguments with only eight justices on the bench. it is rare to have a vacancy in the middle of the term. but it is a hard to imagine any scenario where that seat will quickly be filled. senate republicans continue to pledge they will block any replacement that this president appointments. >> arthel? >> it was a big victory for donald trump in south carolina. and a crucial win for hillary clinton in nevada as both parties held political contests on opposite sides of the country. trump taking 32.5% of the vote and most of the state's delegates. senators ted cruz and marco rubio remain locked in a battle for second place, both with double digit support. meanwhile, over in the silver state, hillary clinton wins the nevada caucuses by thin margin edging ott bernie sanders by about 5%. jo

joining us now, david drucker, senior political correspondent washington examiner. david, let's with the democratic race. there has been talk in the last month or two that bernie sanders was really going to get hillary clinton a run for her money, that this was not going to be a coronation on the democratic side. as that narrative changed? >> i don't know if it's completely changed and it was clear after iowa and new hampshire that bernie sanders was giving hillary clinton a run for her money. nevada and south carolina look a lot better for clinton and heading into super tuesday she looks like she is a relatively good shape so it's possible the democratic race could be wrapped up a lot quicker than a lot of us thought. jon: could happen as soon as tomorrow? will she potentially run out with so many delegates that it would be mathematically impossible for him to catch her? >> i'm not sure about that and bernie sanders still has a loyal following. he's raising a lot of money but i think one of the things clinton needed to do given the dynamics of her race with senator

. >> meanwhile, another anti-establishment candidate, ted cruz, opposed washington from inside washington won the iowa caucuses. >> iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee will not be chosen by the washington establishment. >> the way to earn the title of outsider it helps if you call your own majority leader on the floor of the senate a liar. but by his own sort of demeanor and actions, placed himself outside what he calls the washington cartel. that's a clever way to go about it and we'll see if it pays off for him. >> wow, wow, wow. so beautiful. >> and then, of course, donald trump. easily won new hampshire. 2016 was not going to be like any other year. >> so fresh out here. >> on the democrat side, the results once seemed even more assured. there was hillary and then there was the rest of the field. most people couldn't even name them. >> today i'm formally endering the race for the democratic nomination for president. >> certainly, there's be no competition from the senator from vermont, bernie sanders. >> doesn't seem there's a sanders administration. that's absurd. >> ber

people are vermont sent moo to washington as an independent nap is true. but, on the other hand, when i was in the house for 16 years, i caucused can democrats. in the senate for nine years caucused with the democrats of course and i was elected pi the democrats to be chair of the veterans committee three years ago, which viechl proud of and now am i ranking member on. budget committee. i am running for president as a democrat. let me be frank. i do want to see major changes in the democratic party. i want to see working people and young people come into the party in a way that doesn't exist now. and you know what? i want a 50-state strategy so the democratic party is not just the party of 25 states. >> john can i go, is that realistic and can you be a progressive independent? >> independence are a plurality in the state. they can vote in either primary. you just to show up. we get past this, we're getting into many more states where you have closed primaries. not only do you get more la teen i don -- latinos and african-american. if you look at the pollin

catherine herridge has the latest from washington. reporter: the nation's intelligence chief james clapper told the senate armed services committee this morning in his prepared testimony that the threats facing the u.s. have never been greater. at one point clapper called the testimony in litany of doosm. he said san bernardino to be the first in a wave of threats in the u.s. and europe. >> particular not recall a more diverse array of challenges and crises that we confront as we do today. reporter: clapper says the group based in syria and iraq has shown an unprecedented online efficiency using social media to spread its ideology of hate. clapper said there are more sunni extremist groups today than ever before. >> the rate of foreign fighters traveling to the conflict zones in sir jar and flawct last few years is without precedence. 238,000 foreign fighters have traveled to syria from at least 120 countries since the beginning of the conflict in 2012. reporter: clapper seems critical of the iran agreement of signed in switzerland sa

i was told to come down to washington for an interview with him. you can imagine that was a fairly intimidating experience for a second-year law student. but he couldn't have been more charming and easy to talk to and all-around engaging person. i was fortunate enough to get the job. and it was really one of the highlights of my life to have an opportunity to work with him at the supreme court for a year. >> he was quite close on the court to justice ruth bader ginsburg. ideologically, i can't think of two justices who are more opposite, but in terms of their personal relationship, apparently quite close. did you see that during your time as his clerk or was she not on the court at that time? >> she was not on the court at that time but they were already very close friends from the days of their service together on the federal court of appeals in washington. they both served there together. that's i think where they really became very close social friends. he was someone who was always very able to separate his work from his personal life or privat

i'm going to washington and blow things up. i think that has captured a lot of people's imagination. and as a result you're seeing extraordinary crowds and support both for bernie sanders and for donald trump. >> there's always this talk about ground game and getting your people out. i remember in the case of nevada governor four years ago after you had lost to newt gingrich in south carolina, that was very instrumental that win in nevada with the ground game that you got going and turned things around. the other guys couldn't get that ground game together against donald trump, so i guess what i'm asking you is at this point is it his nomination to lose? >> well, i think there's no question but that donald trump has the clearest path to become the republican nominee. i think for the other people still in the race their path is becoming a slimmer and slimmer opening. and they're having a difficult time communicating to their supporters just how they could become the nominee. it's not impossible. i think it's very difficult for a

presidents' day started in 1885 in honor of george washington's birth6y day. today it's a day to celebrate all presidents, and today is abraham lincoln's birthday. there's mike, who directs the broadcast. look at that beard he grew just in honor of abe. mike, fantastic. you're so in the spirit. here's shep. >> noon in the west, 3:00 in south carolina, where finally for the first time in a month or so, we have presidential new poll results for that state. that new poll shows donald trump is crushing it with a double digit digit lead and doing well with evangelicals. could that be big trouble for ted cruz? today the billionaire ills not backing off, slamming cruz on twitter. also, jeb bush finished fourth in new hampshire but his team says he is so popular in south carolina they've need bigger rooms to hold all the supporters. catch the democrats' debate? things got a little feisty. that and hillary clinton's work to get back some momentum after bernie sanders wins in the grandit?

that's why you see apple lobbying quite a bit these days in washington. which is something they haven't done for quite a while. >> and also be careful what you wish for, fbi. you may actually drive encryption offshore and therefore not have any options available. >> i was just going to actually go there. because some people feel that this is all about china and russia and other countries, that apple basically wants to make sure the chinese and the russians know, we're not in the u.s. government's pocket, you can still be having your private conversations and data because we're not cow towing to government. if they do create that so-called code, it's opening up the u.s. to the bad actors in china and russia. >> if we go down this path, move down the board two or three or four moves, these are the kinds of things you got to really think through. what then happens when the chinese government or the russian government or the iranian government come to apple with what they think are legitimate law enforcement needs and ask apple to do the very same thing. >> t

in the economic club in washington d.c. defense secretary carter argued for more money to fight russia and china. he said they are more stressing competitor not isis. >> we are taking a strong and balanced approach to deter russian aggression. and we haven't had to worry about this for 25 years. i wish its were otherwise, now we do. >> carter listed the top five threats to the u.s. in this order. russia, china, north korea and iran and followed by isis. carter wants to strengthen eastern europe to counter russian aggression. this year, the defense budget damaged seven quoin million. and next year he wants 3.4 billion in 2017. china is a threat. both china and russia are advancing better military. he needs 1.8 to buy 45000 of these smart bombs. >> we have had isil with smart bombs and laser guided roblths. and we are running low on the ones we use against terrorist the most. >> reporter: this year's budget. five kwo billion is slightly lower than what the pentagon asked for. it will likely be changed after the november elect

hasn't been in washington for some time. he is younger candidate, looks untraditional in a year where not traditional is place to be. he is comfortable with the establishment. he is trying to live in the space between the two big currents in the party. we'll know whether after new hampshire whether he is guy can pull that off. jon: hillary clinton was supposed to win the democratic race in iowa. is it deja vu for her. >> she lost in iowa in 2008. that was a big blow to the campaign. she won at the outset by air ha. that is significant for her, she may not win new hampshire. that will be discounted because bernie sanders comes from next door in vermont. people are not expecting her to win in new hampshire. kind of expecting her to pull it out in iowa even though just barely. the campaign moves on to much friendlilier tear tear with south carolina and nevada, more moderate establishment figure will have easier time of it. so i think she did what had to do in iowa. survived. that is what she needed to do, survive. jon: gerry se

ted cruz, the worst kind of washington insider who just can't be trusted. >> that's tough stuff. of course ted cruz is not one to sit back and let that happen. he released this ad earlier tonight. >> look, i got the trump action figure. >> no way, it's huge. >> what does he do? >> he pretends to be a republican. >> bailouts for the banks. >> too big to fail. >> i gave money to pelosi, reid and anthony weiner. >> hey, hillary, i'll give you money to be my house. >> check out my house, mr. trump. >> that's a lousy house people going to take your house and park my limos there. >> we wouldn't tolerate these values in our children. why would we want these in a president? >> well, that is the most interesting interpretation of eminent domain i have ever seen. dana, we are now entering a truly new phase of campaign. anyone who thought it was negative before, well, you ever ain't seen nothing yet. >> that is definitely a memorable ad that ted cruz has up but i thought that the donald trump ad was particularly p potentially devastating but if you saw at the end he used the words "trust-ed

thousands backed into the basilica of the national shrine in washington today. justice kaliya's son, a catholic priest, led part of the service. he delivered a moving homily. here is some of it. >> god bless dad as is well-known with the love for his country. god bless dad with the love for his family. he's the father that god gave us for the great adventure of family life. sure, he forgot our names at times, our mixed them up. but there are nine of us. he loved us. and sought to show that love. >> you know, it's always an emotional scene, dana. i don't know if you felt -- i think the idea that the son would honor the father, for me, it brings me close to tears. >> one of the things that antonin scalia said if he had not have been a justice, he would have considered going into the church himself. he was a consummate professional, dedicated public servant over three decades and i just feel like he was such a giant of a man. big in heart and an intellect and in wit. i think if you look at all the outpouring of support that he got not just today, but even from arou

that's washington talk. >> that's not washington talk. >> i talk to everybody around the clintons. >> everybody around the clintons is what wrecked her campaign the last time. i wouldn't pay any attention. >> so what is he talk about? >> i tweeted right before the show, the tease so people could watch. i knew we would have this block and i was excited to talk about it. as soon as you have an ally like howard dean who at a table of journalists. no, no, her campaign is not in disarray. that's a sure sign the campaign is in disarray. it is like when a cabinet member is in trouble and, at the white house every day you have to say the president has full confidence in secretary so and so. i think andrea mitchell in particular seems to think there is a big problem. she's been covering this so long. she knows them very well. she covered hillary clinton at the state department and i'm sure the e-mail thing probably gets to her. that was happening while she was a reporter covering the state department. and right under her nose finding out there was a huge scandal. >> i talked to people close to

. >> good evening, welcome to washington, i'm bret baier. in the next hour a look at the just-completed democratic presidential candidate debate. plenty of highlights and nal sis from a wide array of experts including the care of the democratic party and how will it play against the republican field. first, what is said? let's go to senior political correspondent mike emmanuel in the spin room. good evening, mike. >> well, bret, good evening. it was clear secretary hillary clinton tried to be more aggressive in shutting down bernie sanders momentum on tuesday, sparks flew when clinton was asked about how she'd pay for some proposals and sanders shot back she's not in the white house yet. bernie sanders continued his rant about the campaign finance system being corrupt. >> let's not insult the intelligence of the american people, people aren't dumb. why in god's name does wall street make huk campaign contributions? my guess, just for the hundred of it. >> i have made it clear that no bank is too big to fail. no executive too powerful to jail

i'm shannon breem in washington, welcome to tonight's faceoff. tonight's debate was a closing act before new hampshire voters go the to polls. the candidates gave as good as they got. >> i'm not making promises that i cannot keep. >> i haven't quite run for president before. >> this is no disagreement on universal coverage for health care. the disagreement is where do we start from and end up? senator sanders want us to start over again. >> the idea i would dismantle med wri care in america is not accurate. secretary clinton represents the establishment. >> i've got to jump in here, because honestly, senator sanders is the only person i think would characterize me a woman running to be the first woman president as exemplifying the establishment. >> being part of the establishment is having a super pac that raised $15000000 from wall street. >> i think it's time to end the artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out in recent weeks and let's talk about the issues. >> if hillary clinton is going to take a bite out of sanders lead

will not be chosen by the washington establishment. will not be chosen by the lobbyists. >> we have to be united against a republican vision, candidates who would drive us apart and divide us. that's not who we are, my friends. i followed their campaign very closely. i understand what they're peeling to. and i intend to stand against it. >> that i think cruz had an amazing historical night. i think the big knock against him was his speech was really long. i think he could have had a better head into new hampshire. if you come in second and third, i think trump and rubio did a better bid to go on to the next state. i think we have that too. >> i'm really honored and i want to congratulate ted and i want to congratulate all of the incredible candidates, including mike huckabee who has become a really good friend of mine. i want to thank all the folks that worked with us. we had a great team. we're so happy with the way everything worked out. >> tonight, i thank you in iowa. i thank you. we have taken first step. but an important step tow

. >> against washington as usual and a vote for someone who will be consistently conservative. >> cruz is the most conservative option right now and he's the best qualified to get the job done and defeat trump. >> ted cruz, staunch conservative from the beginning to the end. godly entire life. strict constitutionalist. >> ted brings the distinction between the republican and democratic party. he won't just roll over and let the republicanic party adopt democratic platform. >> do you think he can win here in south carolina? >> with god all things are possible. >> and tonight sean hannity sits down with ted cruz so you will hear correctly from h hear directly from him. >> he's got the best interview tonight after 8:00 hours. thanks. and senator marco rubio going into tomorrow's primary with some momentum. senator rubio picking up some big south carolina endorsements. snor nikki haley, senator tim scott, the two joining senator rubio at a rally today. >> we will take conservative principles to the people who are living the way i grew up, we will take our principles to people living the wa

. >> meanwhile, another anti-establishment candidate, ted cruz who opposed washington from inside washington won the iowa caucuses. >> iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee will not be chosen by the washington establishment. >> the way to earn the title of outsider it helps if you call your own majority leader on the floor of the senate a liar but by his own sort of demeanor and actions, place themselves outside what he calls the washington cartel. it's a clabn elaborate way to go about it and we'll see if it pays off for him. >> wow wow, wow. so beautiful. >> and then, of course donald trump easily won new hampshire. and now, after south carolina -- >> we love south carolina. >> it is clear 2016 is not going to be like any other year. on the democrats' side the results had once seemed even more assured. there was hillary, and then there was the rest of the field. most people couldn't even name them. >> today i'm formally entering the race for the democratic nomination for president. >> certainly there'd be no competition from the socialist center from vermont, bernie sanders. >>

he has defined what he thinks is the wrong approach by washington and then he's offered what he believes is a rather simple remedies. that is something that's really resonating right now. >> but a lot of people in the beginning didn't believe that he could do it. >> that all of these people misjudged the pundits pm they misjudged the anger of the american people. >> they really shouldn't have because the three people who are the frontrunners right now, marco rubio in 2010, ted cruz in 2012 and donald trump in 2015. what do they have in common? they're the outsiders. and they have close to 60 and 70% in some places. and marco rubio now wears the establishment proudly. and the idea you can beat trump from the left, senator rubio himself was asked tell us which state you'll win and he said i'll win florida on march 15th. ladies and gentlemen, by march 15th, 50% of the delegates will have voted. he's skipping the first four contests 0-4, he's not going to win anything on super tuesday, according to mr. rub io himself and he may win florida. i think cruz has a much better chance of winning te

donald, who can be a change agent and shake-up washington d.c. and who is self funded and doesn't owe anybody anything and knock heads and take numbers. he stood out in that regard. financially, he has many businesses and created thousands of jobs and not only that. he will surround himself with brilliant people and find a way to do it differently than they have done it for decades now. >> all right. >> and on isis and the border. i said that before them. and that sets him aside. >> you know, scott. last time you were on justice, you were not so enthusiastic. listen. >> i am waiting and listening and learning p donald and his policy. you have to put substance behind the things he is saying and that's the biggest problem i am hearing from people in new hampshire and around the country right now. >> and so, what's the difference? are you speaking to different. >> there is a big difference. and i said it six monthsing onning, i was learning and i listened for seven months and not only learned and listened but spoke to each candidate and i noticed, d

he's not just winning republicans and that fact has been lost by a lot of pundits in washington. jon: but when you look at the numbers, obviously donald trump has been winning but there are a lot of othercandidates in the lace . larry was just talking to jenna about the consolidating the competition. if you get some of the other candidates out, the thinking goes thatanybody else but trump could win . any larry says the fallacy with that thinking is that not necessarily every 10 crews supporter, if crews were to get out of the race, not necessarily every 10 crews supporter would go to any non-trump candidate. what you think? >> i actually disagree and here's why. i think the non-trump vote in this primary is the traditional republican activist. trump is not winning just the traditional republican activists. he's attacking all the republican leaders of the past. trump has done a good job of bringing in republicans and democrats and independents into the primary process. that's why he's winning. i don't buy that the cruz, k-6 and rubio vote are somehow in the credits or independence

let's bring in our panel from washington. charles from the washington times. ron, the senior political columnist of the national journal and singled indicated columnist, charles krauthammer. your thought about last night and how it defines this race going forward. >> one thing, we had huge turnout and more favorably on the republican side than the democrats. you had people like david axelrod warning this could be a bad sign for purple state like iowa. on the republican side, i was struck by, it was kind of satisfying for someone like me who has had a problem with donald trump, watching him get beat by a pickly canadian. and looking at the internal of the polls and seeing that most voters in iowa, and the republican field were looking for a candidate who cared about them. who were like them. of those voters, only 5% voted for trump. it was kind of ironeck that donald trump was the outsider. >> charlie, trump is touting an endorsement tonight. he is 200ing the form he senator from massachusetts. scott brown, who will endorse donald trump. what do you think his c

for more, go to cnn.com and read my washington post column this week. let's get started. >>> let's get right to the big stories from around the world with tom. tom, welcome. >> good to be with you. >> let me ask you first this bit of news about president obama going to cuba. he's already being hammered on the campaign trail by some trubs. is it a good idea or naive? >> that's a great idea. go down and engage with the people. show them the best of america, their economic model. whoever in your audience is afraid of cuba, please have them raise their hand. i'm not afraid of cuba. it's well past time that we ended our isolation of cuba. it's a lab test that utterly failed. the more we engage them, the more we'll enhance the move. >> is there any out here? >> i've been thinking about this issue. i've been quiet weary to get involved because i didn't see a path going forward and certainly deeply concerned about the hu n humanitarian dimension. syria has spilled out so many refugees they're destabilizing the states around like turkey, jordan, lebanon. at the

hello from fox news in washington. the in thaws break on saturday the death of supreme court justice antonin scalia. the passing of this conservative giant leads a big hole on court and it sets off a fierce drug el whether president obama should name the successor or leave it to the next. we will ask marco rubio and bernie sanders in a few minutes. but, first, we will bring in chief legal correspondent, reporting from the supreme court. shannon? >> yes, he is described as larger than life and now it is true of antonin scalia both on and off the bench. he was a spirited jurist and did not apologize about his philosto the words of the constitution but ask, what did those words mean to the society that adopted them? that is the same thing i do with legislation. what do the words noon? what is the fair understanding of them? >>> antonin scalia was then for being unmovable when he reached a decision and often penned fiery dissent on the losing end of an opinion. dissenting from the decision to legalize gay marriage around t

and in a town like washington, d.c. that's become increasingly partisan he's a man that's always had deep and enduring friendships on both sides of the political aisle. he can see the good and the valuable and the funny and the fun and the interesting in everyone. and you know, he was -- he had a tremendous wit. just a tremendous wit. >> tremendous wit. memories from paul cappuccio, a former clerk and very good friend of justice scalia. our thanks to him. later this week cnn will host two republican presidential town hall events in south carolina ahead of the primary there. all six republican candidates will participate. marco rubio, ted cruz, ben carson will appear on wednesday night. donald trump, jeb bush, john kasich will appear thursday night. both town halls hosted by our very own anderson cooper. they both begin at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. the town halls will give south carolina voters the opportunity to question directly the candidates and of course the passing of supreme court justice scalia will be addressed as

sessions is with him on stage and it is another place where trump is getting support from washington and saying ted cruz does not have spoor forker from any members of congress or members of the senate, rather, and does it matter? of course. ted cruz has to win texas. trump is prepared to not win it but in talking to the campaign staff and some aides, they think he will win everything else and that will be a huge, huge thing in the vehicle terrorism the image of the wins but when it comes to delegate count, if trump pulled it off, say, eight or nine wins in the 11 states that are having primaries with binding elections, it puts a cork in it. it would be impossible for marco rubio or john kasich to much can up even if they won their home state, ohio and florida and two weeks on the 15th. >> karl, it is kimberly it looks exciting. listen, i am looking at the after affect of what is going on with the back and forth between marco rubio and trump and it seeps like the person that could be getting the most hurt by this is ted cruz who has sucked the wind out of his campaign and momentum go

joining me now is a look at this is a political columnist at "the washington times." good to see you tonight. >> good to see you. >> you watch these debates. i'm at home watching it last night like everybody else, and you're like, why don't they ask this or that. there are still things that people need to be pressed on, and issues that really haven't been touched or people haven't had to sort of, you know, come up with a lot of the information on their own. they are being handed a lot of it and saying, what do you think? what would you do, charles if >> of course. and you have to remember all the questions that have been asked that haven't been answered. >> absolutely. >> but i think with marco rubio, probably the biggest question that he needs to be asked and needs to answer is when he won the surprise victory to become florida senator, he was a rock star in the conservative movement. he was -- the tea party loved this guy. he picked off a governor that had betrayed -- the tea party didn't like. and he came here and the one important -- most important thing he's done

. >> cnn washington correspondent, joe johns. i think i heard your voice in that room, joe. what was he doing the morning after the cnn town hall? >> reporter: well, for one thing i think he was just making his appearance felt here in south carolina. there has been this running narrative in the pall meadow state that bernie sanders has been writing off south carolina because hillary clinton has such a big lead in the polls and that has been sort of spurred by her strong support in the african american community. sanders, this morning saying he has not been writing off south carolina but also tipping his hat to the idea that he might have to worry about doing better in some other states. listen. >> we came to south carolina and if you look at the polls we were like 7, 8, 9% in the ebolapolls. we were 60/70 points behind. we have picked up a lot of support and closed the gap very significantly. but this from day one was going to be a very difficult state for us. we're not writing off south carolina. >> so, if you look at his schedule, it tells a slightly different story. after

i encourage you to examine my voting record in washington. it is up there with anyone in washington but i believe i unite this party as i have proven this week with more and more people coming on board and grow it. i believe i give us the idea to take conservatism to people that haven't voted for us in the past and instead of watering down the principles, convincing them our principles are the right way forward. that's a better futhat's a bett amic [ applause ] >> senator, i have one final question for you. same one i'm asking the other candidates. today governor mitt romney suggested that the gop voters should not choose a nominee until they have seen the tax returns of said nominees. will you release yours? when and how many years? >> yes. yes, i think, in fact, we were planning today, tomorrow the next few days. number two, a lot of them are out there and released them in the senate campaign. the information this them is already public because of my senate financial disclosures every year. but i'll release them. they're not complicated. th

there's a lot less hope in washington, d.c. and i think more that alone if that is the thrust of your campaign, you have utterly failed. andrea: it seems like, sandra, his last campaign for the white house the tone shifted to an even darker place. it got really nasty. and i remember talking to friends who had been press secretaries before, and we said, you know, it wasn't like this. they're actually saying and calling people out as liars. that was one thing you didn't do before. so it has gotten really nasty. is that his fault? sandra: yeah, it's not just his fault, people in general feel that in this country, and he described in this speech, by the way, the poisonous political climate that pushes people away from participating in public life. he said it turns folks off, it discourages them, makes them cynical. and i'm thinking, actually, it's inspired them. with what we're already seeing as far as voter turnout, it's angered people to the point that they're going out in large droves in this election cycle. >> i think that expl

live in washington with all this today. rich, what's in the plan? >> well, gretchen, in that final point is the biggest sticking point and when you look at what the communication can do after transferred to other countries, where do you move everybody else in the united states. take a look that if at the attempts the administration has made since 2009. 245 detain knees. the population falling to 242 and last year at 97 and currently at 91. taking the last 91 out should be a priority. >> do it in a way that makes sure we're safe e. >> how is that going to play out on capitol hill? >> it's moalreadied played out. >> we'll review president obama's plan but he should know that the bipartisan will of congress has been expressed. >> they say they are only focussed right now on the congressional process and not answer as to whether an executive order is in the cards. gretchen. >> very interesting. thank you. meantime, we're getting word another terrorist release from gitmo has returned to the battlefield. police in spain have arrested four suspected member

joining us is a technology executive here in washington. i'm really seeing this on my facebook page. the tone and particularly people yelling for and against trump is not very facebook-like. what do you see? >> facebook, you think of this friendly neighborhood where i would go to see store yifz my friend's travels and pictures of my friend's kids or dogs. now as you log on, it is comments, fights being picked between people on facebook pick people on facebook. and it is deteriorated a lot in my opinion in the past few months. >> more like twitter where you expect to see brawls breaking out. i saw randomly people deleting people for backing trump. madeline cain. a bernie supporter recently blocked me after she objected to the unnamed bernie supporter calling hillary and wall street hooker and worse. things that i can't say on the air. >> the things that surprise me, people coming out of the woodwork that i didn't know had political views. one of my friends shared a story from a news outlet on trump with the comment yes if you intend to donal

fox news col pal intied >> that's what washington, d.c. does the drive by shoot at the beginning and the memorized 25 second speech that is exactly what has been. >> this bottom line the notion that barack obama doesn't know what he is doing is very true. he knows what he is doing. >> there it is. the memorized speech. >> what donald truch did was use him in a domain to try to take the property of an elderly woman on a strip in atlantic city. that is down write wrong. >> i look at what's going on. i look at all of the polls i do very, very well against hilly clinton. i am the last person she wants to run against. >> we could turn this country around if we get back to the constitution and i will always stand with the american people against the bipartisan corruption of washington. >> you have someone who is known as a deceitful individual, an individual who at benghazi which i will never let go quite frankly. i think of those two men who went on top of there with machine guns firing away, allowing their colleagues who escap escaped. >> i ha

a group that was founded by the washington football coaches, the legendary coach joe gibbs. and he started this during an nfl strike, went into the city. saw there were kids in need and so far, youth for tomorrow has helped 4450. unbelievable. just a great charity. if you're in the area, buy a particular and go. >> is there a dinner? >> yeah. >> will they be serving red skinned potatoes? and the entertainment is the mcbride. >> joe gibbs, one of the best coaches ever. i'm sure he still calls himself the former coach of the redskins. >> it seemed like no one in denver went to work yesterday. two days after the broncos beat the panthers, 1 million fans showed up in denver. that was the picture my brother-in-law took. everything was great. a lot of fun. a nice day in denver. sunshine. >> very nice. >> i have an amazing update for you. if you recall i did one more thing for an incredible organization. operation deploy your gounls. they had a distribution yesterday and today. i am so pleased to say, give a special shout out to mary who selected my donated dress. and she looked ab

in the campaign, you've heard a lot about washington and wall street. we all want to get secret, unaccountable money out of politics. that starts with appointing a new justice to the supreme court who will protect the right of every citizen to vote, not every corporation to buy elections. and we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to threaten main street again. no bank can be too big to fail, no executive too powerful to jail. but if we listen to the voices of flint and ferguson, if we open our hearts to the families of coal country and indian country, if we listen to the hopes and heartaches of hardworking people across america, it's clear there is so much more to be done. the truth is, we aren't a single issue country. we need more than a plan for the big banks. the middle class needs a raise! and we need more jobs! we need jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced, jobs that provide dignity and a future. we can do it by unleashing the innovation of our entrepreneurs and small businesses. we can do it with new investments in manufacturin

>> right now isis taking the spot in washington. the growing threat it poses two days after the cia director confirmed isis is experimenting with chemical weapons. >> reporter: thank you, jon. there was a real disconnect between what the deputy secretary said about the administration strategy and global secretary picture and versus the new reporting that isis is expanding and experimenting with chemical weapons. >> in the center of the five pill par is the commitment of eran of peace. rule of law and fundmental freedoms of human rights and human dignity. >> reporter: over the weekend be, the cia director confirmed that fox is experimenting with xhem chemweapons. kurdish fighter ares complained of chemical burns on the battlefield. there is a startling development. >> iso used toxic chemicals in iraq and syria including mustard and first time they have used the chemical warfare agent in the attack since japan in 1995. >> reporter: despite the u.s. bombing campaign. the number of foreign fighters traveling to the region is now at a re

welcome to washington. i'm bret baier. republican and democrat presidential candidates are hitting the campaign trail with ferocity tonight in new hampshire of ahead of next tuesday's first in the nation primary. but there continue to be questions and accusations regarding the results of monday's iowa caucuses. this happens as the republican field loses one, possibly two mo

i don't live in washington d.c. i live in wisconsin so i'm very close to i think what the average, every day republican primary voter looks like and thinks about and i think that there was never an appetite for jeb bush from the beginning. it was -- the idea was that, you know, it sounded good on paper and looked good in a big play book that they put together and they thought they could just really raise a lot of money and create an appetite for it. i think the good news for america sadly for jeb bush is that this proves that money does not buy elections. he had more money than god and he could not convince more than 6% of whatever primary he was in to vote for him. so i think in a sense we can all be happy that elections cannot be bought in the united states. they're really the voice of the people that have to be listened to and i would say from the beginning that there never was on the ground in the base in the grass roots an appetite for a jeb bush campaign. >> we have to leave it right there. thanks so much to b

that's what washington, d.c. does. the drive-by shot at the beginning with incorrect and incomplete information and then the memorized 25-second speech that is exactly what his advisors -- >> the bottom line, this notion that barack obama doesn't know what he is doing -- >> there it is. there it is. memorized 25-second speech. there is is t is, everybody. >> here's the response. i think anyone who believes that barack obama isn't doing what he is doing on purpose doesn't understand what we are dealing with here. this is a president, this is a president who is trying to change this country. >> oh, boy. hard to come back from this. and the boston herald ran with it. choke. it takes you back to the drinking of the water moment. >> yeah. i mean, we're chattering a lot about this. but when you look at the google search trends, 538 did an article about this. actual viewers spike -- the interest spiked when he talked about his pro life position. that was two, three times as many hits as when this exchange was going on. so may

catherine herridge live in washington. some of this may have been lost in the shuffle with the primaries. but we learned a bunch of stuff at this hearing. >> we have. fox news first reported on the use of chemical agents against the kurds in mid-january, and today, the intelligence chief confirmed isis is making and deploying crude chemical agents. >> isil has used toxic chemicals in iraq and syria. first time an extremist group has produced and used a chemical warefare agent in an attack since serine was used in japan. >> this is the second round of testimony today on the hill. now before the senate intelligence committee, and the leaders of the u.s. intelligence committee are testifying that the terrorist threat has never been greater and emphasizing the successful terror attacks in paris and san bernardino could lead the way for follow-up plots in the u.s. and europe. clapper and other witnesses said the number of foreign fighters in syria and iraq is now at a record high. 39,000 since the conflict began in 2012 with 69

then ask yourself who's washington attacking? and they reveal themselves very plainly as they have throughout this campaign. >> i think a case could be made that fully 60% of iowa republican voters voted anti-establishment. with you coming out on top. >> yeah. >> so it's interesting to see politically whether or not they turn on you and they want to attack you. certain will i they didn't want to give you credit for the win last night which you deserve. so, i guess, to me, it's almost bordering on pathological and out of touch with the real anger, frustration, maybe anger's the wrong word. righteous indignation of promises made in elections that are not kept like repealing and replacing obamacare, stopping executive amnesty and seems to be your big appeal you in washington when others wouldn't. >> well, look. you have a lot of folks in washington earning paychecks, lobbyists and it's about entrenched power and the idea of the promises of people that elected you they regard it as quaint. bob dole, i don't know him personally but ob
