finding some statistics from the washington post. far more than black americans. 662 white americans have been murdered by police officers versus 258 lacks. the point that she is making is black lives matters. it is more about politics than it is about substance. nonetheless, you need african-americans in south carolina. who will carry this message better to them? bernie sanders or hillary clinton? >> that is a great question. you talk to people that are invested in the southern states. hillary clinton has the clear advantage with african-american voters. the question for all of those voters is this, ishii really connect into them? you know what also matters, blue lives matter. all lives matter. americans have a much more fair understanding of what happens on the street. trish: back to the whole issue of equality and boss -- wall street. she has some weaknesses out there. in two years time. how does she peddle that one back? i will go out to wall street. at the same time, took all of these. $4.1 million. >> showing where there is a p

be sure to watch washington journal beginning live at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. join the discussion. tuesday, the house republicans policy chair of indiana.

"washington post" poll find 54% of the voters consider it extremely or very important. 43% say it is somewhat or less important. but in that very same poll, 61% of the conservatives say that judicial appointments are extremely or very important. and i would say, that is, that is how i feel, guy. elections have consequences. this is a huge, pivotal moment for the republican party. so who is best suited to articulate the strongest case in nominating a conservative? i think best answers in the debate came from ted cruz and marco rubio. this is real clarifying moment in the race. i hope republican voters wake up and say, wow, with scalia wrong, time to get serious. look at balance of the court. over last few years 5-4 decisions hanging by a thread upholding religious liberty about, freedom of speech, second amendment. 5-4 decisions. scary to me it is even that close. the next president will have opportunity not just to replace scalia and but pick at least one or two additional justices this is not an election that people who care about the constitution can afford to lose. so i know there

establishment and the washington cartel. a candidate dismissed out right by the media. some polls had him 15, 20 behind. you refused to let the establishment and media do your thinking for you. you refused to let them tell you how to vote. you wanted a candidate who didn't adopt his position because of the latest opinion polls, but because of a deep and under lying conservative philosophy that grounded him so that he knew exactly what he believed and the principles were that built this great nation. and so tonight i want to say to the people of new hampshire, thank you for what you did 36 years ago. thank you for giving america, and the world, and history our 40th president of the united states, ronald wilson reagan. and i ask the people of new hampshire, and the people of south carolina, and the people of nevada, and the people of the super tuesday states on march 1, to each of you, do not listen to our words. do not listen to the rhetoric from campaigns, but rather, hold everyone of us accountable, hold me accountable and

washington post i have to tell you i have respect for jeff but he bought the washington post to have political influence and i got to tell you we have a different country than we use to have. he owns amazon. he wants political influence so that amazon will benefit from it. that's not right and believe me, if i become president, oh do they have problems. they're going to have such problems. and one of the things i'm going to do and this is only going to make it tougher for me and i've never said this before but one of the things i'll do if i win and i hope i do is i'm going to open up our laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money. we're going to open up those liable laws. so that when the new york times writes a head piece which is a total disgrace or when the washington post which is there for other reasons writes a head piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they're totally protected. with me, they're not protected because i'm not like other people but i'm not taking mone

. >> 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 look to washington and washington is living in a very different world. on top of all of that is the issue of fairness, the issue of a rigged economy, which essentially means people are working ordinary hours -- working hours for low wages. and there is the issue of wealth and power, which dictates what goes on in america. we have town meetings. the general feeling is there should be more equality. when they look at wall street what they see is a rigged economy. they see a corrupt campaign finance system. all wrapped up in wall street. what i can tell you from personal experience -- the banking committee, which became the financial committee. i was on the committee that dealt with the regulation of wall street. here is the reality that will not shock any american. wall street put billions of dollars in lobbying and campaign contributions into saying you have to get rid of these 1930's regulations. you have to allow commercial banks to merge with investor banks, to merge with large insurance companies. i didn't believe it for one second, not for one second

this the "the washington post" says they have been asking for these speeches for several weeks now and she hasn't given an answer. her answer last night was i will see what i can do. that do l. come back to it's going to be devastating until she releases them. at that point we will get a look what's in there and that can be even worse. it's a real problem for her. >> it's a problem and particularly a problem because bernie sanders right now is legitimizing all the arguments republicans are going to make over the summer if hillary is the nominee. hillary won't be able to say these are sciolous partisan attacks because bernie as the progressive has made them from the left. any time republicans want to go after her for goldman, not releasing transcripts. exorbitant fees for giving speeches. remember when bernie made the same argument. >> talking about him being authentic progressive you have got to admit. it's a little weird. he says she is for affordable college. is he for free college. so, every kid who is 18 years old wants bernie sanders because he says it's free. where is he going to

when the washington lobbyists settled on other lobbyists in this race. when the media in one voice said a conservative cannot win, nationwide over 800,000 contributions poured in to tedcruz.org as courageous conservatives said, yes, we can. 800,000 contributions at tedcruz.org with an average contribution of $67. that is the power of the grassroots. but it's more than that. it's 12,000 volunteers here in the state of iowa. it's over 200,000 volunteers all across this great nation. you know, during the course of this campaign people have asked heidi and me are you tired? and i will admit it is 16, 18 hours a day, 6, 7 days a week. we are not tired at all. ♪ >> to the contrary, we are inspehred by each and every one of you. i leap out of bed every morning amazed that at a time when our country is in crisis, every one of us has the opportunity to stand and lead, that we have been put in a place of leadership. for such a time as this. >> all right, we're going to breakaway from ted cruz. there you see, hillary clinton and her husband and daughter. she's ab
