ted cruz did it in 2016. ron desantis hopes particularly among evangelicals he can do that. >> thank you, john. joining us now leah wright and our cnn political commentator. how critical is it for desantis to do well in iowa? >> desantis has to do well or it's over for him. there's been a lot of polite talk about where he has a shot in other states, but ultimately today's contest is about nikki haley versus ron desantis and who has the momentum. who represents the vision of the gop beyond trump? who's the most stable? then honestly beyond that, it's about money. does he have the money to sustain beyond iowa and also in new hampshire where he most likely won't win? it's critical he comes in second today. >> who knows what's going to happen? ryan, trump according to the latest polls enjoys a large enthusiasm gap right now. 88% of his supporters say they're extremely or very enthusiastic about going with him in the caucuses tonight. desantis is only at 62%. haley at 39%. how do you read this? >> well, i think it

even that did not matter to ted cruz. what we're seeing right now is the near complete capitulation of the republican party to donald trump. in addition to those senators i just mentioned, trump has locked up 23 other endorsements from senate republicans, probably a group of republican most at least inclined to be resistant to his lawlessness, nikki haley and ron desantis for their part have collected zero senate endorsements between them. over in the house trump has endorsements over 100 members. ron desantis who served in the house has five. nikki haley has one. it's not just elected republicans, though. it is the moneyed republicans who helped get them elected. all of them are also falling in line. according to the website puck news trump campaign has put out the word to gop voters if they're not on the trump train by next month it will be noted on their permanent record and that forgiveness will get harder thereafter. the threats have apparently been effective. the hotel entrepreneur who previously gave $20 million to

ted cruz won the caucus in 2016 .at where the evangelical voters are in this state, the far northwest corner, the darker the color more densely populated among evangelical voters. you can see these areas and where the evangelical voters are. if i switch to the counties that ted cruz won, yellow is ted cruz, he did very well in all of these counties. this was his county. tonight, donald trump wants to do well in all of these counties , and the same counties he did well in 2016 himself. he wants to double where he was . there are signs that he is on the way to doing that. the latest des moines register poll with evangelicals, donald trump is at 51% and ron desantis second with 22%. this is a group, both of them very much want to control. >> speaking of governor desantis, he has poured a lot of time and money into iowa. a big question we will look at is whether or not he can shake the president's hold on evangelical voters. one of the most influential evangelical leaders joins me now, he endorsed governor desantis. thank

ted, what is it? what does it say to you about sort of the interest, if you will, in a case like this? and of all of the cases out there, why do you believe the innocence project is taking this one up? when i think if you were to poll most people, they do, in fact believe that scott peterson is guilty. >> absolutely. and i think that it's very curious. this is a very high profile case. do they this is a risk for them to take this up. right. because of that public sentiment that he's guilty. they survive on donations to a large extent. and this is a case where i don't know anything, you know, the terms of their decision making. or anything inside. but you have to look at it from their perspective and they may have with just opening eyes, looked at the evidence and that is available and thought, hmm, maybe there's more here. and a lot of people have looked at this case, have done the same thing. it's going to be fascinating to see what they uncover, if anything. and if at the end of the day, they come t

where ted cruz had a narrow margin of victory.and it paid off for them because race was really, really tight it was donald trump was moving up in the polls throughout but hasn't quite -- topped anybody out by the time iowa caucuses keam there's also worth noting, ted cruz had a lot of evangelical support and more skeptical of donald trump in 20 16. will: the map will show what you can anticipate this is marco rubio and des moines bigger cities and yellow was -- ted cruz, red was donald trump. focus here this was ted cruz country, there's a reason why ept to show you that because now let's talk about the counties in 2024. that haley and trump and desantis are focused on. pete: you mentioned focus for candidacies three counties in particular but more rural county where is donald trump will pull a lot of support from so keep an eye on the southwest portion of the state for him. >> polling at 50% the whole state so really upon these two to find where they have victories and now nicky haley this is fair this is larger cities in the are

look at senator ted cruz from texas. he's come out and endorsed donald trump. he had nasty social media posts about ted cruz. >> let's cue the 20-minute montage of things cruz and trump have said about each other. i'm not going to do that. donald trump went after ted cruz's wife, his father, insinuating he had something to do with the jfk assassination. those posts are still up. he never took them down. ted cruz yesterday proud to endorse donald trump. >> this is the ugly underbelly of republican politics. to quote joe biden who says, you have to know what you're willing to lose over. for ted cruz, apparently having donald trump insult his father, his wife, that's not worth losing over. tes at the end of the day it's a political calculation. it's not a flattering one for ted cruz or anyone taking the brunt of these attacks from donald trump and then saying, this is the guy that should be in the white house. >> maybe he's trying to improve the average of his endorsement. he didn't endorse trump at the republican convention. now he's doing it early. nikki haley n

it was ted cruz, march co-marco rubio. sioux county, ben carson, donald trump not among the top three in these heavily evangelical counties. that is not what we expect this time. "the des moines register" poll has donald trump with the majority of evangelical support. so, that could look very different. while we have 2016 up here, let me give you one more comparison here. nikki haley is running a campaign -- i think jeff zeleny said this -- a little like the marco rubio model. it's hard to tell because rubio and trump are both red. you can see marco rubio won in des moines, in ames where iowa state university is, iowa city, davenport, these urban/suburban areas is where rubio did well. a very strong third place. not coincidentally. that is where joe biden, he won six counties out of the 99 in the 2020 election. a lot of them were those very same areas, dana, where marco rubio did well in 2016. that is where nikki haley wants to pick up a lot of votes. >> so fascinating. thank you for showing us that. we'll talk to dave koc

ted cruz out did him, out organized him. ted cruz got 34% of the evangelical vote. that's why cruz won iowa in 2016. you see rubio was competitive as well. evangelicals were a weak spot for trump in 2016 in the caucuses, so by the way, were the suburbs, you know, suburbs of des moines, a few other places of high concentrations of college graduates, but evangelicals made up 2/3 of the caucus electorate in 2016. you see trump lost by double digits. how does it look right now. this is our most recently poll of caucus goers in iowa among evangelicals. trump, from that 12 point loss in 2016, we've got him up 2-1 over ron desantis, outright majority in our most recent poll. desantis who pushed effort into iowa got endorsement from one of the state's most influential evangelical leaders. evangelicals were and are supposed to be one of the core bedrock pillars of the desantis effort in iowa. he's going to need on caucus night to do much better among evangelicals. another group to keep in mind, the suburbs, here's independent voters in our most recent poll. nikki haley at 23

ted cruz strong there as well. then i would say as you take all this in, think about the 10 counties at the border and the eastern edge along the mississippi river. here there. trump won all of them with the exception of scott county. when they went to the general election hillary clinton beat him and scott county as well. this is the break down. let me just pop by one second and take this off and take it to realtime. hang with me. here's the deal. trump in red, haley orange, desantis in blue. let me change the screen one time. vivek ramaswamy in green. all these colors will come in very soon in the next hour. but nothing at the moment. when that changes you will be the first do no. >> if your anecdote is to be believed, we have counties going from blue to deep red and now at 20 below zero they are waiting in their cars a mile outside of caucus sites? what does that tell you? >> i am not sure yet. i just want to couch that. it was anecdotal. it was one location, one place. maybe it's happening everywhere but we can

why did ted cruz win?when you look at what ted cruz did and what people like ron desantis are trying to do this time around. if you go into the northwest area this is an evangelical territory, where donald trump was unable to make inroads. also down in the southern part of the state, these are rural areas, these are evangelical areas and areas where trump struggled in 2016. there has been a significant amount of focus down here for desantis but also for trump. can he eat into some of that territory right now? in terms of where trump has major strength, look in this area right here in the eastern part of the state, areas that used to be back in 2012, back in 2008 these were democratic strong holds, counties that barack obama actually won back in 2012. donald trump flipped them, they've been parts of strength for him throughout the course of the last several years. he needs to turn out in major ways there and try to eat away at some of the advantages in the evangelical territories that desantis has been tryi

but the question is, can ron desantis mimic a ted cruz type of performance? he has worked just as hard. he has gone to all 99 counties. but frankly, ron desantis and ted cruz are different people, and have different appeals. so, for donald trump, what 99 is going to show us here is just how firm of support he is able, then able to cement over the last eight years, because i can tell, you i haven't met many folks who caucus for donald trump in 2016, who say they're not going to caucus for him this time around. you don't come by those folks, but you do come by a lot of folks who caucus for marco rubio or ted cruz years ago who are now coming to trump rallies. the weather dynamic is going to be interesting. or talking windchill factor of negative 35 degrees, ali. i was with michael just last week, in events and sue center there, and it was cold. but you still had hundreds of people waiting outside to get inside those stores, so trump supporters have shown enthusiasm in the past, and even if it's not 50% overall of the electorate, even if donald trump could still

homicide detective ted williams joining us with more on this head scratcher of a story because ted, ithoughts on what another friend of this show, paul mauro had to say about this case. the fact this this woman is not going to jail is obviously not acceptable to her family, and as part of her defense she had to outline that she was not responsible for her own actions because in the state of california, you know, intoxication is not a defense unless it is involuntary, so depicted the victim, her boyfriend as a bully who made her smoke weed and said the last hit triggered her psychosis, she remembered everything leading up to the last hit and the jury rejected that, right. they said no, you are responsible for your own actions. but then the judge cited that same defense the jury rejected in his sentencing and said well, she's not responsible, so -- did he make himself, the judge and the jury here, what is your take? >> clearly meaning himself judge, jury and just about executioner in this case. this is outrageous. this woman stabbed this man 109 times. and i want you to understand that

ted cruz over donald trump in 2016.ree of the candidates i just mentioned. the evangelical candidates. huckabee santorum and cruz. we're going to be keying in on all of those early. almost all the dark red you see on the map these are all the cruz counties. the very dark red. most of them fit that criteria. he won some counties that weren't huckabee and santorum as well. but most of these fit the huckabee santorum cruz. none more dramatically than sioux county in the western part of the state. deeply religious here. and you see cruz won it but the thing you don't see is donald trump's name here. donald trump got 11% of the vote in sioux county. this is the ninth largest in terms of votes produced on caucus night. donald trump was 11%. this was his worst county in the state. remember in 2016 there was a lot of skepticism, resistance to him among evangelicals. the story of the last eight years. that seems to have changed. sioux county will tell us a lot about that story tonight. is trump winning here? how much is he winni

he better be like ted cruz . if it's all red for trump, big night . >> thank you so much. as a pollster, what stands out to you in the numbers? >> donald trump is so far ahead that his leader so large and has only gotten bigger as we have gotten closer and more voters have tuned in. a big problem that both ron desantis and nikki haley have is that as voters get closer and closer to the caucuses and have learned more about them, they have not gained enough momentum to put a dent in trump's lead. if the gap is 20 is it really a win? for most voters, the win is the win coming close to 50%. with a double-digit margin they will come together. >> and responding to criticism that she is not tough enough and play what they said. >> he is saying this because now he knows he is in trouble and it's becoming a two person race. i know he knows the truth and it does not bother me at all. >> the fact that he is spending time attacking her. >> trump is going to attack everybody. he is still in the race. so i would not put too much and it. and to the point that the lead was continuing to g

the race had been called for ted cruz.re we're looking tonight, look, a good guide actually might be to show you the 2016 results. remember trump lost to ted cruz, and marco rubio did well, nearly beat trump for second place. anything red here on this map, one of the big counties for trump in western ooi wah, pottawattamie. also in woodbury where sioux city is. the question in these cities, how much has he improved? that's the easy one we're looking for. the interesting won, two interesting ones here. look at the maroon on this map, the maroon are the counties that ted cruz won. not all, but most of these counties that ted cruz won were counties that also voted for rick santorum in 2012 who won the caucuses, and mick huckabee in 2008 who won the caucuses. cruz tapped into what they tapped into, winning the iowa caucuses in modern times has meant winning the evangelical vote. two-thirds of all votes cast in the republican caucuses were from evangelical voters. it's why cruz was able to beat trump. he won the evangelical vot

ted cruz in 2016. you notice you don't hear 2016 ted cruz now in 2024.did it take him to get out and coalesce behind donald trump. so i think ron desantis had that in his calculation as well. >> brian: ted win iowa. >> steve: ted cruz won iowa but donald trump won here in new hampshire. >> the lyin' ted is tough to shake. >> ainsley: i was so proud of you for getting that interview. we will air that at 7:40. if you are just tuning in. we have trump with lawrence jones out there at the diner. >> who is the marching band waking up right now? >> ainsley: everyone here. let's see, we probably are waking up bret baier. probably harris faulkner. we apologize. since you are already up, will you join us, please? >> steve: come on down to the curvey couch at the bedford village inn. write in joe biden's name? the president's name not appearing on the ballot. but his supporters are still getting creative to try to put him on the record. >> brian: guess who is here congressman dean phillips showed up. joe biden will not be on the ballot. nice to see you, congressma

he lost them to ted cruz, lost the state. county in northwest iowa, take a look at 2016 result, you don't see donald trump's name. he finished at 11%, his worst county was in deeply religious sioux county. this was a huge problem for donald trump. expand that statewide. of the 99 counties in iowa, there are 42 of them that voted mike huckabee in 2008, rick santorum in 2012 and ted cruz in 2016. those three candidates all won the evangelical vote. those three candidates all won the caucuses. those counties were critical to ted cruz winning in 2016. the question here for trump s how many of those has he won over? how many inroads has he made with evangelical christian voters? the question for ron desantis who is trying to get into second, trying to have a surprise night tonight, he's really targeted evangelical voters. how many of those 42 huckabee/khan tropical storm/cruz counties can desantis win? i'll give you a sample here. take a look here, winnebago county 2016, trump finished third. this was a huckabee/santorum/cruz coun

is this really the start that ted pick once? -- wants?s feels like this is a bank that is firing on most of its cylinders and doing relatively well. i appreciate the trading i not have delivered as much as anticipated. there's quite a significant repricing taking place here. sonali: morgan stanley came into this year as one of the most ritually traded banks from a price-to-book basis. the stock drop you are seeing today is still the worst you have seen in october. certainly a tough reception for ted pick at morgan stanley on the first earnings out of the gate. guy: is there a line i can draw between what's happening at morgan stanley and goldman sachs and jp morgan and at citi? it feels like these banks are having their own stories to tell rather than trading as a group. they plan to trade as a group but the differences are beginning to emerge more. sonali: absolutely. i'm glad you asked that question. if you think, like ted pick told me last year investment banking would lead the cycle, goldman sachs coming in at number one and they inke

also, can we go back to look at what ted cruz looked like in that clip? i mean, wow. changed a lot in the past eight years, but ted cruz looks like a completely different person he used to actually look like a guy who went to harvard and princeton. now he looks like a guy who flunked out of the university of phoenix online he's the only guy who looks like the beard grew him all jokes aside, ted cruz's beard sucks, but it's still a million times better than anything i've ever grown on my face of course, everything is different now that i got my first tattoo yesterday courtesy of dua lipa. [ cheers ] yesterday, tattoo! tomorrow, beard! friday, motorcycle next monday, our new segment, "what are you closer looking at, ass[ bleep ]?" [ grunting ] i think that's how you do it, right? rrr-rrr! oh, i can't wait to find out [ laughter ] anyway the point is, republicans used to pretend they cared about the constitution then the second trump emerged, they abandoned all of that in favor of a president who routinely said stuff like this >> i have the absolute right to declare a na

ted cruz speed double trump and iowa in 2016. speaking of donald trump's lies, two thirds of iowa republican caucus goers said a day do not think president biden legitimately won the 2020 election, according to nbc news entry polling. meanwhile, nikki haley is equally focused on trump. she said today that she would not participate in the planned new hampshire debate if trump himself is not there. just a few hours ago, abc choose to cancel that debate since ron desantis would be the only person on the stage. haley's campaign also released a new ad attacking both donald trump and president biden. >> the two most disliked politicians in america? trump and biden. both are consumed by chaos, negativity and grievances of the past. the better choice for a better america, nikki haley. >> ron desantis is now trying to sell his narrow second place finish in iowa as a big success. he also attacked nikki haley in her home state of south carolina. >> so, by debating gavin newsom, i needed practice debating somebody who is almost as liberal as

ted back on peacock.7 now with one of the most talented guys in hollywood. emmy winner, oscar and grammy nominee seth macfarlane. he's behind "family guy" and the raunchy teddy bear now that bear is back in a new series on peacock. it is a prequel set in 1993 witn high school where they get themselves into all kinds of trouble. take a look. >> we're two ad executives looking for some local talent. >> right. >> hey, keep these milk shakes coming, huh? >> sure thing. >> you know we're celebrating. just landed a big account. bounty. it's a famous paper towel. >> yep. use them every day. >> originally ted and his bestie, john, taking on high school where they get themselves into all kinds of trouble. take a look. >> we're two ad executives looking for some local talent. >> right. >> hey, keep these milk shakes coming, huh? >> sure thing. >> you know we're celebrating. just landed a big account. bounty it's a famous paper towel. >> yep use them every day. >> originally the slogan was supposed to be quicker thi

he lost in 2016 to ted cruz. ted cruz had major wins throughout counties particularly among evangelicals in the northern part of the state. where did he underperform compared to 2016? nowhere. every single county in 2016 donald trump did better this time around. where did he win by more than 10% compared to the people he was running against? everywhere but two counties. he dominated 97 of the 99 counties. what about those two counties. one of them is ames, a college educated place. donald trump winning that county, lost it in 2016. this i another college town, iowa city here in johnson county, the university of iowa is here. nikki haley won this county by one vote. let's pull back a little bit and give some context why donald trump won. there were two areas people were playing close attention to whether ron desantis would have a pathway forward or whether nikki haley would have a pathway forward. the first is suburban voters. if you want to take a look at the 13 counties that cnn identifies as suburbs, donald tru

go to ted cruz.org. i need your help. what's happening on the border, it's a crisis at a level we've never seen before. as you noted, i spend a lot of time on the southern border, go out on midnight patrol with the border patrol agents. the their argument, by the way, when they wouldn't allow the reporters and tv cameramen, they said they might have covid, so i filmed the conditions, the deplorable conditions -- >> sean: they tried to stop you, senator. >> yes, they did. >> sean: a u.s. senator. they did not want the truth to come out. >> you cannot see what's happening there and defend it. last year, 853 migrants died crossing illegally into this country. you cannot see the children, as i've seen many times, who have been horribly abused physically and sexually by human traffickers. you can't see the women who have been violently sexually assaulted by human traffickers. you cannot defend it. biden's entire strategy is hope the media ignores it. by the way, in an exercise of chutzpa, he stood up last week and said the pro

[laughter] it is to support ted. he is terrific, will be a great ceo.im as best i can but stay out of it. that is my priority. sonali: you used to handwrite a checklist of priorities at the start of every year. if you think about how you change gears into executive chairman, what does that list look like? james: i did not write it this year. i did that when i was ceo. it gave me a framework for focusing on the big things that matter. there are thousands of issues that come at you. you can easily lose sight of the stuff that matters. every year, i would tea up on the first day i came into office, which was yesterday, and write down the list of 10 things. one is always no new mistakes, things that cost more than half $1 million of capital. sometimes they were personal, like get fit. sometimes leadership. you have got to switch. that is what i have done. sonali: i am glad you brought of mistakes. to the extent that we learn from life's challenges. what is the biggest mistake you ever made up morgan stanley? this is the chance to look back at the last decad

cruz, and otherformer party, like marco rubio, ted cruz, and other former officials and party, likeare now back in donald trump which shows you the strong standing he has and that many see him as the presumptive nominee. fix, him as the presumptive nominee. a couple of quick final questions. is there any sort of path for nikki haley to actually get to the white house? ., . ., ., house? you have got to win new hampshire _ house? you have got to win new hampshire if— house? you have got to win new hampshire. if she _ house? you have got to win new hampshire. if she wins _ house? you have got to win new hampshire. if she wins new- hampshire. if she wins new hampshire, this is a different race, but if you look at the polling right now, donald trump has a very strong lead as he does in south carolina and nevada, so in answer to the question, you have got to win states and you cannot win new hampshire, in the case of nikki haley, it is very hard to see how she has a path towards the white house or denomination. 50 towards the white house or denomination.— towards the white house or denomin

the senator from this state, ted cruz, said that if biden is so hampered by the local national guardke the barbed wire fence, then let him come and remove the wire and take it away. srinat joe himself seems to have realized that his threats have no longer worked. biden publicly backs down, withdraws his. as such, but in preparation for a possible, real conflict with the authorities. well, texas will not be alone here; 10 more republican states are also gathering their national guards. in oklahoma there is talk of a possible clash with the us army. south dakota is openly calling to protect the country and get rid of the broken joe biden. well , american social networks today figured out what will happen if texas really gains independence. so, the united states will lose almost 8% of its territory, almost 9% of its population. the area of ​​texas is 696. los angeles and chicago, in general, burn texans, good luck. texas goes to abank on the border with mexico. the state is defying feds' demands to allow border patrol into eagle pass. national guard soldiers block off the park with mili

lindsey graham, ted cruz in the senate and house they. had a moment right after january six for trump where his weakest. at that moment, his establishment republican could've said we are breaking. we are breaking now because if we don't work at a potentially lose future election. -- >> some tried and then walked back. >> some of them lost elections. some >> of them did lose elections. then though you hear rhonda santas tonight in that clip that you just played where he says if trump is the nominee we are going to lose because of the fact that trump is running or revenge retribution campaign all about revising the history of january 6th, the election was rigged and ally. i'm good overhaul the entire system. oren dismantle the entire system he's running into control. in 2022, republicans did lose a lot of races. they didn't win back the senate the way they thought they would. they didn't have a red wave in the house. a lot of people said it was because of the fact there were a lot of trump like candidates up and down. -- >> election deniers

and so i want to encourage your viewers to ted cruz, .org, ted cruz, .org, ted cruz, .org. i need your help. they're coming after me. i got to say, what is happening in texas, what is happening on the border? >> it is a crisis at a level we have never seen before. >> as you noted, i spend lot of time on the southern border. i go out on midnight patrol with the border patrol agents. i went into the biden cages when they wouldn't allow fox news and they wouldn't allow reporters in their argument, by the way, when they wouldn't allow the reporters and the tv cameras in. they said the tv cameramen might have covid. and so, as you know, i pulled out my phone and filmed the conditions, the deplorable conditions. they tried to stop you, senator. >> yes, they did. they tried to stop you. u.s. senator, they didn't want the truth to come out that they did not want. >> you cannot see what's happening there and defend. >> last year, 853 migrants died crossing illegally into this country. you cannot see the children, as i have seen many who've been horribly abused physically and by huma

. >> and congressman, i want to get your reaction to something senator ted cruz said earlier this week. >> you're saying that there is no reason to have a border bill? >> we don't need a border bill. it's not that joe biden is bad at his job, that he's negligent, that he didn't know how to do it. he wants this crisis because he gets a political benefit he believes from it. he could solve it overnight because he caused it overnight. >> congressman, i mean, i think senator cruz made those comments as donald trump and his allies were starting to make the rounds on the hill and let it be known that he is not in support of this bipartisan immigration agreement that is taking shape. what was your response when you heard senator cruz say that? >> it's another example of ted cruz and his and donald trump's republican party operating in a different reality than ours. they call black, white, war, peace. they describe the president manufacturing a crisis to enjoy the political benefit when they're literally admitting that they're doing that. mitt romney, the senator this last week, said as much.

you all know who ted cruz is, he's run for president a couple of times. ted cruz said to you, mr.hairman, you should have hunter biden in a public hearing. he actually said advice said have him in a public hearing. again, i go back to what -- what is the majority so concerned or to use some of the words of my colleague afraid to have hunter biden sit at his desk. you control the rules, you can give everybody ten minutes, you can give everybody 15 minutes, you can give everybody 20 minutes. you can give your side as much time. we can go on for days quite frankly because you control the rules as you just showed but the one difference that you guys object to is you object to those. you object to the cameras because you don't want the american people to hear the answers. no, you want to take the transcript and release 1 months after you've gone out and lied about what has happened and so, again, because the gentle lady from -- the gentle lady from georgia, i know it's such an advocate for women's rights as she mentioned and is so concerned about grooming and apparently we don't have a
