you have the people speaking up to say they don't want washington to pick their candidates. they want a say. on the democratic side, bernie sanders has shown the people matter and the people can speak up and change the democratic establishment. hopefully that change is going forward and republicans elect someone sane. >> marco rubio won expectations. big win for ted cruz. can he keep that momentum in new hampshire? i'm not sure. hillary clinton may have won, but it would have been groundhog day all over for her in iowa although she won a tiny bit. donald trump is a loser today. >> maria. >> hillary clinton wins becoming the first woman to ever win an iowa caucus. bernie sanders did great. also a win. the democratic party wins. they are focusing on the issues that all americans care about. compared to republicans who will nominate somebody who is anti-woman or anti-latino. >> all right. ben. go. >> i'll say this. donald trump proves arrogance and cockiness does not win you the white house. ted cruz did better than anyone thought. marco rubio is a guy that has a little mo comi

"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

in this campaign, you've heard a lot about washington and about wall street. now, senator sanders and i both want to get secret, unaccountable money out of politics. and let's remember, let's remember, citizens united, one of the worst supreme court decisions in our country's history was actually a case about a right wing attack on me and my campaign. a right wing organization took aim at me and ended up damaging our entire democracy. so yes, you're not going to find anybody more committed to aggressive campaign finance reform than me. we also agree -- we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to once again threaten main street. and i will fight to reign in wall street. and you know what? i know how to do it! [ applause ] so no bank can be too big to fail and no executive too powerful to jail, you can count on it. now, the real difference is in this race are truly over how do we create a future of prosperity, opportunity, and security for all of us? we need to build a growth and fairness economy, with higher wages and more good paying jobs, including

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 future for america. [ 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. the

security other than catherine haredge is live in washington. jushgs the state department official said the amount of intelligence that russians get is incremental compareed to enteleigence in other means. russia will make a proposal as one of the 34 nations that are in the treaty. russia wants to use high-powered digital cameras and sensors to gather information. this is for greater transare parency. and russia is selectively implementing the treating and blocking surveillance over moscow and other regions. it can collect on defense department sites in the u.s. and the annual global threatses. the nation's intelligence chief said the threat of spying is persistent and complex and evolving. >> russia and china pose the greatest threat followed by iran and cuba on a lesser scale. and the threat of insiders taking advantage of the access and removing national security information is a persistent challenge for us. >> reporter: the request to conduct surveillance flights puts the obama administration on the spot. it is now coming when russia is a pa

when you cut taxes by $5 billion and you grow over 400,000 jobs, that is a record that i can take to washington. >> if you add it up, kasich, bush, christie, put carly fiorina in there, even though she's an outside establishment voters, and marco rubio, donald trump would be in the rear-view mirror. but you have this cluster. >> and for kasich, the question is -- he may do well here, but where is he going to do well afterwards? it's hard to see him doing well in south carolina or the super tuesday states. and he does not have the kind of organization that he's built that could actually compete for a national campaign. that is the one thing that jeb does have going for him, while he has burned through a lot of money -- >> it's why ted cruz's campaign is quietly cheering for jeb bush. the ultimate representative of the establishment. but cruz's folks are cheering for jeb here in new hampshire because they want jeb, and more importantly, they want jeb's super pac to keep going to south carolina and keeping its fire on marco. >> we know there are a lot of evangelical tea party members in the south.

this happened in woodbridge, virginia, 20 miles south of washington, d.c. there are still so many questions in this case. we are hoping police will be able to answer some of these questions at a press conference which is scheduled to start here about just about 15 minutes. eric. >> kristen, we will certainly keep our thoughts and prayers to keep the officer in those thoughts throughout the day. thank you. >>> back to politics now. the countdown is on for super tuesday. and if polling predictions hold out, hillary clinton is well on her way to victory in at least three states. a new poll shows her way out in front of bernie sanders in georgia, by 34 points. she also has a sizable lead in tennessee and texas. let's talk about this with vince coalin ace. political insiders are forecasting a super tuesday surprise from bernie sanders because he is neck-and-neck with hillary clinton in five states. still, can sanders stay alive without winning the african-american vote or the latino vote? and can sanders win the electability contest? >> well, he has definitely g

washington, d.c. they're not voters. they are volunteers. all the campaigns do this, but in the cloopt office she has a lot of people that work in the state department. i ran into a former lobbyist who are taking the day off to come out here and canvass. so you have supporters trying to rush into the early states because they realize that momentum matters and they realize hillary clinton is in trouble and they want her to get a victory to at least narrow the gap and in fact one person i just spoke to is a clinton supporter i mentioned came from washington said if we can get this down to single digits tonight and she loses close, they go to states where they think is more friendly turf for hillary clinton and they're hoping to finally get the momentum that has escaped hillary clinton in the early stages here. >> thank you. then there is the outside role of a possible michael bloomberg third-party run. he's been talking a lot with the financial times and tweeting an image of he and the british prime min

let's go back to wolf in washington. >> our political directors, you are looking at all the numbers. who showed up and what they won. >> he asked the voters as they showed up, what are you looking for in a candidate quality. this will help explain to everyone watching why ted cruz is where he is. take a look at this. among the voters that said i am looking for a candidate who shares my values, ted cruz is demolishing the field. 37% for cruz and 21% for rubio and 16% for carson and 7% for paul. that is 41% of the republican electorate. that was an important quality. when we asked about the quality of someone who can win, the electability question. rubio and 25% for trump and 22% for cruz and 2% for carly fiorina. not as many caucus goers looking for electability as for someone who shares their values. this quality, telling it like it is, that is the donald trump thing. that is what he is campaigning on. 67% of voters looking for a candidate who said i want someone who tells it like it is. only 15% of the republican caucus going electorate is looking for that quality. with four oust te

. >> 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, placed himself outside what he calls the washington cartel. it'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. and now, after south carolina. >> we love south carolina. >> it is clear, 2016 is not going to be like any other year. >> so fresh out here. >> on the democrat's side, the results had once seemed even more sure. 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 september jen arian candidate fr

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

steve hays and david drucker for the washington examine canner. first thoughts, legacy and the man, steve? >> i think antonin scalia will be one of the most influential justices in the supreme court and very few peopl that. you look at his dissents and he left a guide for people who follow him, not only on the supreme court but in lower courts as well. to a true understanding of the original intent of the founders. it is it something we don't spend enough time talking about. and liberals look to him. and i think they are wrong. one of the things that the presidential election is fought over is returning to that original intent of the founder ares or whether we disregard many of the things that was said and that was a point of emphasis for him. we had antonin scalia at the weekly standard in january of 2010, i want to say, he spent two hours with us all off of the record and i can't get into detail. but couple of things stood out. he was hilarious. side splittingly funny and many of us had tears rolling down our face as he told stories about the co

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

. >> for months the republican establishment in washington and elsewhere was convinced that donald trump was going to implode, there was no way his popularity could last, he was saying outrageous things, surely this was going to end and for months you and i have been speaking about this and i have seen no evidence that he can be stopped, that he won't get the nomination. i hope that the republican establishment is realizing that this man is here to stay and they need to rekon with him. >> they probably are. they're trying to at least and i think part of the reason why they're quite concerned tonight is because all of their potential candidates who are if had that cluster for second and third place, it was sort of a circular firing squad. >> john kasich was twice -- donald trump beat him, 16% to 35%. >> voters wanted somebody from outside the establishment, outside politics and that's what they chose. >> wolf, back to you. >> thanks very much. it wasn't close. 50,000 votes he beat kasich in new hampshire. donald trump by 50,000 votes and they're still counting the votes. 91% of the vote i

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

king marched on washington unafraid to challenge the status quo to end racial profiling, take on police misconduct and take down a system that profits from mass imprisonment. >> there is no president who will fight harder to end institutional racism. >> this, to me, is the defining test of this race. because of where the calendar goes next. where you have either majorities or high pluralities of african-americans in the democratic electorate. if bernie sanders can break through and get a sizeable number, that means a longer race and a changed race. >> and the place to look when we get numbers out of south carolina is younger african-americans because the big question is going to be whether younger african-americans vote their race or their age. younger people have flocked to bernie sanders. and why wouldn't a younger african-american connect with his message the way a younger white person would? that's the argument that the sanders campaign is making. >> that's why you see people in the congressional black caucus come out and more aggressively support hillary clinton as they did last we

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

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

. >> 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

the problem is washington d.c. and we don't need washington politicians coming in to fix it. when you look at who is remaining on the stage, there is no doubt that this is the person who will go to washington d.c. and turn it around. some have only been for one term and never shown up for work and telling us how to run the united states government. i believe that donald trump is the best person. and i was running against him. and i wanted to boat him and we had open conversations about that. but that part of this is over. as a good loyal american, who is the best person to stop hillary clinton from getting inside of the white house again? this is the best person to do. that turn around from the actour acts in washington d.c. and turn to a professional strong leader. >> ask him how he is going to do this? >> as a former chairman of the republican governor, [inaudible] >> no, what my intent for being here today to say to anyone willing to listen. not just members of the rnj and donors, but american people. you need a strong tough leader to restore america greatness and this is

. >> i am joined by ellena washington editer for the national review. eliana if you are going to run for president you have to have the fire in the belly. that comment from john kasich if he had the fire it went out. >> kasich is never known for his message discipline. and the stakes are so high in the mines of many leading republicans. if john kasich is not sure if he is intending to be president, then get out of the race is what undoubtedly what many leading republicans are saying to him right now and let the guys who are in it to win it. and believe their purpose to fight it out. >> they are saying that to john kasich and they are telling him to hand his supporters over to a top contender, what would be the affect of that? >> it would be status quo. the reason they are targeting h supporters and asking them to support rubio. that giant loss to donald trump is smaller. the problems that they have. they have three strong candidates. and donald trump and marco rubio. and they are going to ted. and they toss hillary clinton in the presidential race in oh

and washington liberals may call south carolina less hospitable. >> so washington liberals. not exactly new york values. >> i think the republican party understands full well cruz is the only candidate to successfully taggel donald. >> i think he felt he didn't think he was going to do that well in new hampshire. donald trump claborred the establishment here, and doing big rallies and tv interviews every hour and a half, but moved the terms of the debate, many said were outrageous, andkeepino the states. >> they love that here. >> he has other candidates debating on his turf. >> we heard the opposite nal sis after iowa. they were like, he didn't campaign, he just flew in on big plane, and polls were overstated. all of a sudden, the media is like everything is wrong. it's all wrong. it's new. >> forget about everything, and the delegate count currently is you need 1237 delegates to win the republican nomination. donald trump has 17. ted cruz, ten. marco rubio, seven. john kasich, four. people ought to, as president obama would say don't get to we, we'd up. but i would say the

they're really frustrated with washington. that's why you see the candidates who are from washington. it doesn't get mer washington than two senators running away from that record. marco rubio saying he doesn't want to be in the senate anymore, ted cruz staking himself as an anti-senate senator. there's no doubt they want someone from the outside. they get the sense they're frustrated and angry and donald trump has embodies that for them. >> you have to wonder what that means for those going forward in the senate and the house. voters are saying they're very angry with what they've done. interesting, marco rubio, there was one category that he did win and that was the category essentially people who think that he wanted experience, people who did want experience wanted marco rubio, and he hasn't been in this senate all that long even. >> yeah. you know, he paints himself as a 1-year conservative. that's a new part of his stump speech he's put in there in the past weeks. he kbos back to his time in the florida legislature as a

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

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

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

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

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?

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

. >> reporter: cruz was in washington for the funeral services of ant nonscalia. marco rubio after coming in fifth in new hampshire, attacked cruz all week for dirty politicking and jumped on the flag flap. >> to kind of bring that up again in a robo call on the day before the election, those are the kinds of things that obviously concern people. >> reporter: most candidates worked the polling places today after batting away rumors of salary cuts earlier this week, jeb bush dismissed a report that staffers are shopping their resumes to other campaigns. >> yeah, it's trash. politico, it's trash. they never have a source. >> reporter: ohio governor john kasich was campaigning massachusetts and vermont to illustrate there are other states ahead. >> i'm going to do my best to stay positive and try to sell my ideas without having to run anybody else down. >> reporter: at the back of the pack, dr. ben carson had seven campaign events in south carolina before the polls closed. six months ago there were 17 republican candidates in the race. tonight there are six. it's a p

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

it has support from washington but does not include the islamic state, a group that controls large parts of syria and iraq. they released images of an abandoned resort that now serves as a refugee camp for hundreds of iraqi families. you can see what remains of that hotel, an anbar province that has seen bloody battles against isis. a view of the lake around this property at the hotel there. a swimming pool. the hotel one of the largest in the middle east. some farm animals as you see where the pointer is. a couple kids alongside the pool with not much to do. no running water or electricity. the hotel was once the pride of iraq's tremendoourism industry home for families with nowhere else to go and the fighti ining syria and other countries forced millions aafrom their homes and a global refugee crisis this image along turkey's border. >>> president obama says closing guantanamo bay would save taxpayer money and strengthen national security and uphold american values. given with that once it was once a bipartisan issue, why can't he get it done? that was his argument in a push to shut do

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

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

cnn special coverage from washington, now begins. >>> we're counting down to two crucial contests in two states. >> both the democrats and the republicans have a lot on the line. >> announcer: it's a whole new climate in the presidential campaign with the first contests in the south and the west, the candidates are turning up the heat. >> it's not enough just to be against thing. >> they're throwing everything at me, except the kitchen sink. >> ted cruz, i think he's an unstable person. >> you noticed how rattled donald gets? boy, he really -- he lost. >> he is a liar. >> announcer: right now, in the democratic race, it's nevada's choice. hillary clinton, planning to look like a front-runner again, after her crushing loss to bernie sanders in new hampshire. it's the first battleground where minority voters could decide the winner. will they rally behind clinton and her her rebound? >> it's not whether you get knocked down that matters. it's whether you get back up! >> announcer: or will nevada feel the burn? >> a funny thing happened. the people became involved in the campaign. >> an

i'm shannon bream in washington. he had been an anchor for conservative wing for nearly three decades. his sudden death raises questions in the midst of the supreme court term packed with hot button issues -- abortion, affirmative action, and the president's use of executive power. through every decision scalia remained true to his judicial fill philosophy. >> originalism says that when you consult the

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

on education, on welfare, reforming those programs, getting the money and power out of washington. and that's just a fact. again, when you have a record, you have an enormous advantage. that's why he's done so well in the past few weeks, because when you carry your message to 106 town hall meetings, you understand what voters are concerned about, but you also have real ideas, real vision, that resonates with them. so it's been a great campaign. of course, with 12 candidates, you can always find someone who hates john kasich, but the fact is he is the right kind of leader for the country right now. >> all right. i have to leave it there. john, thanks for stopping by. >> still to come in the news room, john kasich and the power of the undecided voter in new hampshire. will his gamble pay off on this primary day? we'll talk more about that, next. see see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that i won't stop. until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for mod

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

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
