>> [indiscernible] secretary clinton: thank you. >> thank you so much. >> so there you see hillary clinton live in manchester, new hampshire. something rather unusual, and endorsement from planned parenthood in a primary. they have never done that before. they have done it in a general election. we are going to open the phone lines to hear what you think. we will start in winston-salem, north carolina with scott on the line from republicans. , sky.ere you're on c-span. caller: thank you for taking my call. i just had a question -- a comment first and then a question. remember a years ago, the current president promised c-span he would allow all

meetings to be televised live. and that did not happen as promised. i just want to say i wish you guys at c-span would pan out with the camera so we could see the size of the crowd at the clinton rally. that's all i wanted to say. all right, we appreciate the call. we will move on to tennessee on the line for others. mark, what do you think? caller: i think what i saw -- i think it really is just nothing news. it's just -- there is nothing new there. i'm not surprised that planned parenthood endorsed her, but really there is no news there. and really, one of the questions in response to your first color, -- i miss c-span streaming. our website,ave

c-span.org. we do not always control the cameras at these events. some other network may be providing the pictures and logistics dictate that. real clear politics has the latest polls out, and aggregate of different polls. they show when new hampshire, 48.3%r bernie sanders, -- 43.3%ry clinton freely clinton and 2.3 percent for martin o'malley. that's about a five-point difference. what do you think? guest: i have been a teacher all of my life and a woman very close to hillary's age with a 24-year-old daughter. at i think one of the things we need to do .s educate our young women

a lot of the younger women do not know her as i do for all of those years, and the other thing as a teacher,his, trying to spend all of these years trying to teach children not to bully each other, not to nothings that are appropriate, and when you see donald trump and candidates bullying each other, it's hard to say that's not the right thing to do. it counteracts what we do in the classroom every day and i'm really tired of it. thank you. host: all right, thank you. here is a question for you. do you think today's event, the endorsement by planned , will make a difference? will people be more likely or less lightly to vote for mrs. clinton based on that? joseph on our line for republicans, what do you think? caller: this is joseph and i

thank you for taking my call. , hooked up right, and my talking up right? host: yeah, yeah, you sound good. you're on tv. go ahead. caller: in order to get this country turned around, we have to have morals and the white house. we have to get rid of abortion, same-sex marriage, cloning, and mercy killing. we have to get rid of planned parenthood. we are killing babies every 38 seconds in this country. i assume this means you are not a hillary clinton supporter. supporting in 2016? anyone republican. i like trump. i don't know what his statutes are. but we have to get rid of planned parenthood. it's killing our country. host: all right, we have sue on our line for democrats. go ahead, sue.

caller: yes, hillary clinton is the only candidate qualified to be president of the united states. i do believe she will be the democrat nominee and there is not one on the republican side qualified to be president and when it comes down to the wire, people are going to realize that and hopefully, and prayerfully, hillary will be our next president. host: let me ask you, what you think her chief qualification for the office is? every subject she is well versed. were in thentons white house before, we had a balanced budget, we had an excess and the budget. mess, buting into a her and him hopefully can get this country back on track where it should be, thank you. we will move onto franklin, tennessee, randy on our line for independents. caller: yes, sir.

the comments that hillary made about the health care situation -- i'm 60 years old. blue cross, blue shield, state of tennessee. each of my wife's health insurance is $600, mine is $600 about it, and next year projected is going to go to .lmost $1200 per month each we checked on, i checked on the government health care line, and it's about the same there. that's almost $28,000 for the best plan, and that's taxable, so that's almost $35,000 a year health insurance, and that was not what i was promised by this administration nor anyone else, and it seems like we are being ignored in this country, and i .ust don't understand that's almost impossible for a middle-class person to pay. host: where is your support

likely to land this year? caller: i don't know. no one has addressed this issue. i don't know who has the answer to this. it seems like we were host: we appreciate the call. we are going to move on to chris in san diego. welcome to c-span. caller: hello. i am so happy to be here for the call. just a little history on me. i am a 52-year-old woman. , suffered a brain injury although i have tried to work, because i have lost my memory, it is very hard. host: you're on social disability insurance, right? caller: yes.

i live below the poverty line. i have to calculate everything out. d by a bunchrape of white boys. i had to go to planned parenthood to get checked out. i was freaking out. they guide me -- guided me through eight nursing process a nerv nseling -- ing process. host: does the endorsement today of the planned parenthood organization of hillary clinton, does that increase your willingness for voting for her? caller: she has an awesome track record and she knows what she is doing. she has been successful in everything.

whether they are against her or not, she treats everyone with respect, which i think we need in a president. ,, on america, a woman president. host: we are going to move on. take you for the call. keith for the republicans of from new jersey. caller: how are you doing today? host: good. caller: i always thought a woman president was the best thing for the american people. as far as planned parenthood, i am for having children. i understand the woman was speaking of being raped, and i do not condemn that. i think planned parenthood would mean, planning to have children, you know what i mean? i think hillary will win.

even if it does not happen, at least she was running. host: who are you supporting? you are calling on a republican line. caller: hillary. i have been a black republican my whole life. i do not consider myself any color. i go against the norm. what i like about her leadership is she is against republicans. she does not want to see a ,epublican as the head of state yet i will back her as a republican man. host: we are going to take a few more calls. take you very much. we are asking for your reaction

to hillary clinton minutes ago in new hampshire at an event before the new hampshire primary coming up on february 9. she received the endorsement of planned parenthood. terry.o to kerry -- you are on our line for democrats. what do you think? caller: i support secretary clinton and planned parenthood. the timing is really important for events that are being scheduled for next week in the health centers. defunding of planned parenthood in new hampshire last, it was pretty controversial. this guy is running for governor. women'sa champion for health care issues, and it was wonderful to watch this on

c-span. it is wonderful to see all of the young woman -- women who are becoming acquainted with hillary and fighting this battle. i think it can make a difference in a close primary in new hampshire. host: thank you for the call. here is what the hell newspaper is saying, the transportation secretary will endorse hillary clinton in iowa on monday. he becomes the fourth member of obama's cabinet to endorse hillary for president. -- laborsacked, labor secretary also endorsing. that is according to the hill newspaper. let's move on to new york on our independent line. it is david. her in the mall a

, and i do not think she could do a quality job. host: what mall? caller: i do not think she would do a really terrible job, but she would not be able to deal with issues. liberalsthink these and conservatives should use special interests in governors -- government. these two-party systems are no good. host: thank you for the call. we have time for one more. we are going to go to virginia.

virginia in tucson, arizona. iller: i am a nurse and highly respect hillary clinton. whohave former presidents have been secretary of state. she is qualified. i watch you all the time. thank you. host: we appreciate all of your calls this afternoon. we will show this event to you tonight at 9:00. you can see the entire event. the new hampshire primary is set for february 9. >> the demographics of the new hampshire voter, that is our topic. we are joined with chris galdieri who is a professor at st. anselm college in the department of politics. thank you for being with us. guest: happy to be here. 42nd in theire is

nature -- nation as far as population. highest perinth capita income. is one of nine states with no income tax. it is one of five states with no it iswise sales tax -- one of five states with no statewide sales tax. with that background, tell us typical new hampshire voters are in the issues dominating the primary. guest: the typical voter in it new hampshire will have a higher level of education than people in the rest of the country, a little bit wealthier. diversee of the least states in the nation. in terms of issues, a lot of new care aboutoters

jobs, economy, national security. one of the that has been a big facture -- factor has been drug epidemicsate abuse are in the state. this has surprised a lot of presidential candidates from both parties. meetings onld town this issue. host: why is that such a problem in new hampshire and across many new england states? guest: it is not specific to new hampshire. it is shared by the other states of northern new england. it hass of why, part of to do with the decline of manufacturing jobs in the communities, particularly in the that in parts, beyond terms why, i think that is a question that is cosmic. host: who will vote on primary

day? with 875,000 voters, about one quarter casts their ballots. guest: that is right. in 2008 when we had competitive primaries, the voter turnout rate was much higher, closer to 50%. that is what i expected this time around. host: when you teach students at st. anselm college about new , what is your response? guest: back in the early 20th century more states started to have presidential primaries during the progressive era and a desire to have less party bosses. the early primaries did not

stick around. in 1916, we were not first. we shared a primary with indiana and minnesota. got bit of their primaries, and we were just left there due to our stubbornness. no one paid much attention to it until 1952 when both democrats and republicans had competitive primaries. harry truman lost and dwight eisenhower put his name on the ballot without full consent or participation. he demonstrated he could win votes in a republican primary and that was enough to entice him in the race. since then, we have stuck around. candidates have found us to be a useful institution. 80's, there were moves to try to take the status away from the hampshire and give

it away to other states, but today, both parties have figured out they can use new hampshire to this advantage because we have an infrastructure and history of primaries. host: we will take a new thoseire caller, who said in new hampshire who have been inundated, and we want to show you a few of these. we will start with the clinton campaign. [video clip] is not just electing a president, we are also electing a commander in chief. that choice matters because strengthening the economy, making health care more affordable, raising incomes, all of this depends on us being secure at home and at leading the world. i will get up everything all day and do whatever it takes to make sure our country is safe and strong.

ads, resonate with voters? guest: i think they do. playing toe, this is her strengths as far as national security goes. she is very comfortable with this. this is an area where she sees an opening in contrasting herself with bernie sanders. she is much more interested in talking about economic issues. ahead bynie sanders is 2.5% among new hampshire democrats and independents. a new poll from fox news, post-christmas shows bernie sanders up by 13 points over hillary clinton. been: the polls have variable. they show sanders up by a lot, or wanton up by a few points.

up by a few points. we are only likely to see more ads until the primary. host: joining us outside of manchester, on the republican line. you going to vote? caller: yes, i will be voting. one of the things that is interesting is the field is so much broader for republicans. this has gotten people much more involved. host: do you have a candidate? caller: i have a short list. the list is so broad. i have a short list right now. host: do tell. i am curious. kasich andave john carly fiorina. i like john kasich for his executive measures. i like rubio and i like ted cruz, but they are first year

senators. we have seen what happens when you put a first-year senator in the white house. they need more experience before they get there. because she fiorina has a really strong debate quality. expresses her views in a way that people can understand her well. what are you hearing from dennis and new hampshire? guest: i am hearing that she has a lot of options to choose from. sometimes it is harder to make a decision when you have a lot of choices. i think candidates like john kasich and marco rubio and a jeb bush are all competing for the same votes. you could probably put carly fiorina in there as well.

they are all mainstream republicans and have traditional business backgrounds. they are all fighting for the same vote. that is why it is going to get intense. those votes are the mainstream republican alternatives. host: this is a headline just after christmas from the new york times. they talked about the state of donald trump and bernie sanders. kathy is next. good morning. caller: i am calling because in previous years, my husband and myself, and now it is my voter,r who is also a have always enjoyed answering poll questions. this year, we have gotten many calls. numbers, and we

prettyuch ignore the calls because we are tired of it. we are not the only ones. it is interesting to me when i see how the polls come out. people,t i hear from where they are leaning, especially in my area, strong supporters of bernie sanders, but i am a democrat, and i think it will be interesting to see what comes out in the polls in the election date, considering people are reluctant to answer the phone. i hear this from other people too. host: who did you support in 2008? caller: i supported the president. host: thank you for the call. your response. in terms of people getting bombarded with calls, i think that is an issue we are facing today, getting lower and

surveys.ponse to fewer people have land lines in the first place. those of you who do have them, are not wanting to pick up the phone and tell the strangers who you want to vote for. we do not want to do this 20 times a week. polls are notthe the best measure of what is going on. there is a lot of time until the primary. you cannot read into any one poll. -- is nextt at next for the democrats. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? my question, there are so many candidates, it is like a circus. blatant liesmany on both sides. some are more prolific at it.

no one calls them on it, not a soul. they let them keep running their mouths. what is happening to america that everyone likes to spew the hate, but does not want to talk about what is going on? host: thank you for the call. guest: i think this is a complaint you hear a lot from people on both sides. i do not know if the candidates are lying, but i do think social media is making it easier to get away with it. if you have a particular andpective, you can go out find people who agree with you and reinforce that. once we are misinformed, we stayed misinformed. that has led to a situation where media outlets are having a harder time fact checking. fact checking organizations say your candidate in your

perspective is wrong, a lot of people decide there is something wrong with the fact chester -- fact checkers. host: good morning, welcome to the program. caller: thank you so much. first of all, my candidate is jeb bush. the question i want to ask, they keep saying that donald trump is ahead. why does he have to spend $2 million if they have it wrapped up? fan,d to be a faithful fox but they are into donald trump. look, he is you always in the fourth or fifth place. he has a proven record. donald trump, if he is the nominee, i am not voting. thank you so much. host: thank you. did you hear that sentiment from a viewer in louisiana?

your response. that speaks to one of the surprising things about this election, which is the jeb bush campaign has not been able to gain traction. when he was first making noises about becoming a candidate, a lot of people felt he had the right name and experience as governor in florida. he is very well known in the republican party and was able to raise a lot of money. people thought we would be in a situation where we are today, where he is trailing donald trump. many polls have him in fourth or fifth place. sometimes in a five way tie for second. speaks to what an unusual year this has been, for toandidate like donald trump flirt with entering the race,

and to be doing this well and to be dominating the headlines is really surprising. host: we are talking with chris galdieri who is a graduate of georgetown university and earned his doctorate at the university of minnesota. he is part of the department of politics at st. anselm college in new hampshire. we are joined from harvey in pennsylvania. caller: good morning. the one issue that i have noticed none of the candidates are addressing is the electronic voting machine a fraud. there is evidence that this has occurred in the past. there was legal testimony in ohio to the effect that someone was hired by one of the bush campaign members that was

lieutenant governor and one of the past elections, and that occurred. this man was giving testimony about the ease in which these machines can be hacked. this seems to be a dangerous thing for the country, because this is very likely to occur again. people are completely unaware that this is a possibility. host: thank you for the call. to that cannot speak particular case, but i think this is a concern people have about electronic voting machines. proprietaryng with software. people areot sure how they operate. it is difficult to do recounts. once andidate - recount, itnts a can be difficult.

the primary results should be difficult. host: a tweet says, we should move to regional primaries more representative of the nation. the candidates cannot ignore the rest of the country. guest: this is a sentiment you hear frequently. the difficulty with that is getting states to coordinate on something like that, also i have statelaws that give the powers to move the primaries to as early as it needs to be. once you set a calendar, someone in a region might decide to jump the line. if you have a southern primary and you schedule that for late march, another state may look at that and say, we see a lot more attention and advertising pumped into our economy with bigger influence on the outcome if we go up to late february.

it is hard to get everyone on board. host: another viewer, if you want a crowd, start a fight. is that what donald trump is doing? guest: in a lot of ways, i think he is. we have to remember this comes out of the new york tabloid media. working ay good at press culture. he took lessons all the way to the national stage. he will get lots of coverage if he says something outrageous. someone whofter asks him a question at one of his events, he will be guaranteed a lot of press coverage. i think cable news in particular, has discovered he is ratings gold. they want to maximize their

outlets dod other this online. or everyn environment time he says something outrageous, his poll numbers go up and he has more coverage. stopped saying outrageous things when it is working so well? host: let's go to peter on our republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. yes, when you come to selecting a candidate that you will support and vote for, i use the constitution. the reading of the constitution states that, after the preamble, words that, states the . it means aain person should, respectful.

i go through the person's personal life and what they have done, there career field --their career field and personal life. i found out dr. carson has set up reading rooms in communities. scholarship for predominantly poor black people that could not afford college. i look at his ability to solve problems and his belief in the constitution. andmeasures he has taken states that all of us should understand and read the constitution. host: thank you for calling. dr. carson made many of those points yesterday in south
