hampshire. >> someone needs to call him out. >> dickerson: we'll hear from focus group of muslims about donald trump. plus we'll have political analysis and new poll numbers from our battleground tracker. all ahead on "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs good morning, welcome to "face the nation" i'm john dickerson. democrats held a spirited debate last night in new hampshire sparred on the issues of wall street reform, foreign policy and health care. our new cbs news battleground tracker shows that haak is 5 1/4 points behind bernie sanders in the state of of new hampshire on prepare kay can side with 2%. kid trusses follows with 14. marco rubio at 1 and chris christie moved up into fourth place with 11%. the rest of the field is in single digits. during the iowa, it's senator ted cruz who some has taken the lead with 40% support.

marco rubio at 12 and ben carson plummeted down to 6%. rest of the field 2% or below. friday we traveled to iowa and met up with marco rubio, we asked him abut his escalating battle ted cruz. senator, what street this debate between you and senator cruz about on immigration? >> well, ted was much -- in fact was supporter legalizing people that were in this country illegally, he was during the debate he was after the debate. he made it clear multiple occasions that he was against citizenship but open to legalization. and then for weeks now on campaign trail he's refuses to answer that question until the other night where he said that he did not intend to legalize people. again trying to find himself some wiggle room. so the bottom line, there isn't that big a difference between him and i on how to approach immigration. that was the point i was trying to make, this is serious issue that needs to be fronted, every republican running for president has supported or supports legalization in some form or

of people that are in this country illegally even donald trump he just wants to make them leave the country first then legalize them. >> dickerson: is it about immigration are you making larger charge about ted cruz and whether he's being honest and truthful with people? >> i think ted wanted to not talk about realization during primary leave himself being for it in general election. so, obviously getting to the electorate. not the first time. multiple issues where he's tried to do. this the free trade agreement was up he wrote opinion piece in the "wall street journal" he wrote with it paul ryan. three days later he flipped on it after i don't know why he got some fresh you are on the fast track authority. he's done it on votes on farm issues, changed his vote on the floor of the senate. there's always some of that, new facts are presented but my concern voters need to -- if you're going to attack someone on policy you need to be clear where you stand. >> dickerson: voters are making decision should they be thinking

immigration or be making larger questions ted cruz being honest? >> when you spend your whole time telling people that you're a clear talker, you say what you mean, everyone else is a sell out but you're the only purist, i think it's fair to say, hold on a second, this is where you've been in the past here is where you are now. truth is everyone running on the republican side supports strong conservative positions, we have some differences on some issues, we should discuss those like national security, for example. but when you run by telling everybody you're the only purist in the field or only one that's always consistent conservative then your record will have light shown on it, in this case has proven that in fact, well after the i am breaks debate he was still talking how he was open to legalizing people how important it was to bring people out of >> dickerson: how much of national security issue do you think it is that there is now an open conversation in the republican party about banning muslims from america and that majority of the party agrees with that idea.

>> well, the statements that people made, it's not serious policy proposal. so, itfuls made for the purposes of recapturing the headlines. donald trump had fallen out of the headlines because we had largest terrorist attack in american history since 9/11. he wanted to get back in the headlines and came up with something spectacular and outrageous so people would respond and recapture the headlines. it's not a serious proposal. ultimately all of this will pass, it will be the rhetoric and politics of the next president that will determine whether we are safer or not. >> dickerson: i was interested, chairman byrd said does have real danger can be used as recruitment tool from terrorists also want what do muslims feel like who live in the united states that it might alienate them which is precursor for potential -- >> the primary recruitment tool that rises uses they are recruiting people to join their apocalyptic cause that will have final showdown in the city against the west. going to trigger this new era in world history. the second point valid one, we

alongside the american muslims in this country to identify areas where people are being radicalized or things they may see in their community. we are going to need to work with them, most certainly very patriotic muslim americans who love this country would love to share information with us to prevent these attacks. to the extent that rhetoric could prevent people from doing that or make them resistant to cooperating with law enforcement and intelligence agency that is problematic. >> dickerson: another debate on foreign policy was overseas. he said, we need to focus on killing bad guys not getting stuck in middle eastern civil wars that don't keep america safe. what do you make that have? >> he's wrong. because civil war in middle east have direct impact on america. the syrians civil war was not started by the united states it was started by the syrian people themselves. particularly sunnis who wanted to remove assad. my argument was, this thing is going to spiral out of control,

rebels on the ground they're go exile. and vacuum will be left it will be filled by radical jihaddist, that is who fills vacuums. that is precisely what happened. the argument that assad, we have no vested interest, he's not enemy of america is wrong. for example, assad reason why there's refugee crisis. where are their hundreds of thousands refugees destabilizing europe, trying to come to america, because assad conducting an attack of sectarian cleansing. he is conducting program of getting rid of all the sunnis, that is forcing hundreds of thousands of people to destabilize europe and jordan and trying to come into the united states. >> dickerson: people are so afraid of, you take assad out we're committed to having to take care of what is left afterward because when you don't creates the failed -- the sunni people will take sea sad out. lis son of libya, if there is civil war that's leading to this sort of vacuum you want it to end as quickly as possible. the longest it lasts the harder going to be to govern that country.

bought it, even if the syrians are the ones who overthrow we're helping them by that little bit of help we give, puts us on the hook. also afterwards if it's failed state united states on the hook, but our involvement -- >> wouldn't exacerbate. without america firing single butler or providing a weapon there was going to be a civil war in syria that was going to vacuum. our choice, let it play out, you let it play out the i it leads to the vacuum which leads to the isis fighters or do you do something to end it as quickly as possible so that vacuum is created. that is the choice we had three years ago we didn't take it. >> dickerson: you have a new ad that is running it says, quote, all of us who feel out of place in our own country. do you feel out of place in your own country? >> people feel out of place in their own country for number of reasons. economically we're in country where you were told your whole life that if you go to school, you get a degree, you're guaranteed the american dream. at least a shot at the american dream. that's not happen canning. you have country where people

where you're going to be judged on your merits on your hard work, that is not happening. increasingly americans feel out of place, because it seems like the people who have access to power and influence win. and everybody else is left on the outside looking in. and then people are hold traditional values are often described as bigots and haters. >> dickerson: what calls them that? >> everybody on the left. if you do not support their definition of marriage -- >> dickerson: the word bigots and -- who is calling them that? >> the president has on occasion said that people don't support >> dickerson: rock is different than -- >> i've been called a bigot for not supporting the definition of marriage. >> dickerson: you say, the "us" that? >> the traditional values, absolutely i have been called that. in fact this very week i was called anti-hispanic, anti-latino by group of obviously people from the left, who argue that unless we agree with them on everything somehow

this is standard operating practice on the left. >> dickerson: vladimir put in says drum is outstanding and talented personality. is that the endorsement you want? >> i don't want -- vladimir put in is a cost benefit analysis political actor trying to have russia recognized as a great global power on par with the united states who wants the world to return to a steer of influence of. >> dickerson: donald trump seemed to be honored by the raise from putin. >> he shouldn't be. videod mere putin who has killed, he's jailed and murdered journalist,s political opponents, bombed an apartment building as -- he is responsible for the downing of that malaysian airliner over ukraine he provided the anti-aircraft weaponry that was used. this is a person who has done higher filing things. from a geopolitical realistic level we have to deal with him because he's leader of important country between them and us control over 09 post of the world's nuclear weapons.

go down in history as a great leader. >> dickerson: and donald trump mentioned those journalists killings he said, i think our country does plenty of killing also. >> i haven't heard him. of course it's outrageous. i don't know single documented instance which the president of the united states ever ordered assassination of journalists who issue coverage of them or taken different political line. we've entered a portion of this politics where nothing surprises me anyh more whether it's donald or people watching. >> dickerson: thank you so much. >> thank you. dickerson: from iowa we traveled to the first in the nation primary state new hampshire where we met up with jeb bush. we'll have that interview in a moment. and can you explain why you recommend synthetic over cedar? "super food?" is that a real thing? it's a great school, but is it the right one for her? is this really any better than the one you got last year? if we consolidate suppliers, what's the savings there? so should we go with the 467 horsepower? ...or is a 423 enough?

you ask a lot of good questions... i think we should move you into our new fund. sure... ok. but are you asking enough about how your wealth is managed? wealth management at charles schwab. this is a story about doers, the artificial heart, electric guitars and rockets to the moon. it's the story of america- land of the doers. doin' it. did it. done. doers built this country. the dams and the railroads. john henry was a steel drivin' man hmm, catchy. they built the golden gates and the empire states. and all this doin' takes energy -no matter who's doin'. there's all kinds of doin' up in here. or what they're doin'. what the heck's he doin? energy got us here. and it's our job to make sure there's enough to keep doers doin' the stuff doers do... to keep us all doin' what we do. >> dickerson: another escalating feud among republican contenders between front runner donald

new york, yesterday. governor, bush, you and rally here in new hampshire said that donald trump is a jerk, he's chaos candidate, said he's not serious he can't insult his way to the presidency but aren't those all in stilts stealth are you trying to still your way -- >> point out that he's not a serious candidate. his answer about the nuclear triad, for example, was mind blowing. not having any knowledge about what the subject is where you have this exclusive responsibility as president of the united states as commander in chief of the armed forces to how to use our nuclear deterrent he no knowledge. he thought come out saying putin is a strong man and a great die, tried to destabilize our relationship with our allies. he's not a serious candidate. >> dickerson: what is the nuclear triad so important, in world of where, jihad something people are so concerned about. >> it's important because it's been part of the security

safe since the post world war ii era. we've seen a lack of investment in it we've seen -- need to refurbish it and strengthen it. the fact that he didn't know what it is one of those questions that i think you have to answer if you're running for president of the united states. but it's not just that. he says that isis is not a threat. two months ago he gets his news from -- he gets the news from the show that he wakes up in the morning gets his foreign policy and military advice from people that are going on your show but that's not serious man. and when he insults me personally, i don't take it personally. he shouldn't take it personally, either. but someone needs to call him out. >> dickerson: one of his policies that he's put forward this idea of banning muslims from the united states. you said that was -- he was unhinged when he offered that. but majority support show in the republican party, what does that say about those voters who are appealed to by that policy. >> says a lot about donald trump

knowing that it might have popular support. but that will wane make it harder to do what we need to do which is destroy isis. you can't do it by banning muslim that's just ridiculous. what people are scared, and when they hear someone that advocates a big position, i can see why people would be -- migrate towards that but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. putin -- >> dickerson: you shade donald trump vladimir putin said, explain why that is a problem? >> pilot tin is organized to challenge the united states across the world now. he views his success by pushing us back. we're losing influence around the world and putin is gaining influence. he's not an ally. he's a dictator. he's a bully. he has nothing to do -- nothing to admire with him other than fact that he's strong. and we can admire that, we can respect that, and he admires

we need a president that actually will stand up for american interests in europe or middle east. that's how you create a better relationship with putin. you don't brag about how great a guy he is. he's not. he kills journalists, he -- anybody that opposes him ultimately is pushed away. >> dickerson: the people who are supporting you have been wondering about your campaign say that in this recent mode where you've been more vocal about donald trump, that you have found your voice, do you see it that way? >> you know, i'm not -- i'm in the here and now. i'm fighting the fight. to a certain extent it is a little liberating to be able to post up against guy who is not qualified to be president and to share your vision about the better way. i really like having a town hall meeting where his name doesn't come up where we get to talk about how you fix our health care system and how we destroy isis and how we reengage with the world. >> dickerson: let's talk about

in the debate you said that the united states must destroy isis before it destroys us. you think that is the level of the strength that it can destroy -- >> it can stop los angeles school district from opening for two days because of random e-mail from germany. it can change our way of life. it can hurt our prospects economically. it can destabilize our country for sure. will there be army invading united states, no. we are still capable of defending the homeland from that kind of threat. are we capable of defending against people that are energized by this radical islamic terrorism, that's the halling that we face. >> dickerson: talk about fighting isis overseas you layout your plans for doing this you said two things. get the lawyers out of the way. too much concern about collateral damage, the lawyers are getting in the way of people trying to prosecute the war. also said build alliances with arab nations.

isn't it the collateral damage that creates atmosphere that makes it hard for the arab nations to ally with the united states? >> we have to be -- have to apply international norms of warfare, for sure. but this president has added additional features. there's way too much involvement. we send leaflets outed to the truck drivers that are sending diesel fuel across the board in turkey saying, keep doing it we're going to bomb you. we can assume that they're part of the isis network if they're doing that. those things would send a signal to the arab world that we're serious, that would be what we need to do. they need to understand that we're not viewing that as law enforcement exercise. it doesn't mean you're going to automatically just carpet bomb mosul like one of the candidates had hard time explaining why he would carpet bomb anything. >> dickerson: was that a mistake for senator ted cruz to say carpet bomby is that a mistake to say that? >> there are 080,000 people who tear thrusts control the place.

activity? this is foolish. absolutely foolish. he had to back away from it was kind of clumsy. he's a gifted speaker, a little untosh see him stumble a bit. but that's what we need to avoid. want to develop the coalition as you ask, you can't talk about carpet bombing mosul or carpet bombing a held territory by isis that brings huge collateral damage. >> dickerson: you say in the campaign people are not saying what they believe or running away. because of the environment of the campaign, is that -- >> yeah, surey else would someone change their views. all of them have. running for president of the united states. you got to have heart for people, you got to understand why people are frustrated. you have to have a mind to be able to come up with creative solutions to fix the things that need to be fixed. you got to have a spine. you got to have a backbone. this is a tough job. think it's hard to deal with

in town hall meeting? yeah, it's not the easiest thing. but lot harder to deal with putin or the ambitions of china or doing with the stagnant economy. you need somebody whose compass points north who selling to persuade people toward their cause rather than back away whenever there is any pressure. >> dickerson: talk about politics at the end here. six months ago people thought you were the front runner. your campaign -- you hated being front runner. >> i feel much better back here. dickerson: why did you hate being the front runner? >> i've always thought that there was going to be a high expectation for me, i totally get it. >> dickerson: because? >> because i have brother that was president, a father that was president. and that higher expectation was important to realize, so, being a front runner made me feel like the people are going to begin to say, your guy is just dancing like through this. i have higher expectations on me than people have on me it doesn't bother me a bit that the

and i want to win, which means matters. so, i feel good about where we are right now. expectations problem you have to -- what are you going to do to fix it? >> i'm going to campaign my heart out here in new hampshire. and in iowa in south carolina. i'm going to show who i am and give people fundraising glad we can fix these ideas give sense that the future will be brighter. this is how you win. all in. that's what we're going to do. >> dickerson: governor bush, thanks so much. >> thanks. dickerson: we'll be back in a moment. ashley bryant, you are a teacher of small children. that's right. i have read it is the hardest job in the world. that's why i'm here. can you... i can offer advice from the accumulated knowledge of other educators... that's wonderful but... i can tailor a curriculum for each student by cross-referencing aptitude, development, geography...

(pause) watson? there is no known solution. this is a body of proof. proof of less joint pain. and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage and clear skin in many adults. doctors have been prescribing humira for 10 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get sted for tb. tell your doctor if u've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b,

about what is going on in america following the san bernadino terror attack and donald trump's call to ban muslims from the united states. >> some kind of attack in this country, any time there is any kind of crime, i am literally praying. everyone else is literally playing. we're literally praying, when goes i know exactly what is going to happen. we have seen this in decades. this isn't anything new as many people have said. >> that's exactly that. >> i did a poll out across the country to not watch the republican debate because i knew that that -- subjecting our children to hear the hateful stereotyping and lumping of muslims with terrorism in front of our children something that is psychologically impacting them. that's how deep this is for us. >> don't you want the kids to know the challenges that they face? >> i don't want my children to be subjected to racism he and vilification of their faith. i will explain to my kids in way

i wl not allow donald trump to tell my kids how they should feel about being muslim. >> a phrase to describe donald trump? >> exploitive. >> worse than -- psychopath. >> negative. >> i want to know your response, why? >> that's why we're here. i would not be sitting here right now if this wasn't happening. a lot of our voices would not be out here because of him. we are now in the public spotlight. let's use this to talk about who we really are. let's use this to be like, hey, america, we're americans. don't fear us, okay? fear your crazy politicians who are trying to buy your vote. this gives us a great chance. >> what percent of the muslim community do you think could potentially be a physical threat to the country? >> in america, maybe less than 1%. >> you all agree -- right. >> donald trump keeps doing what

president that number whatever it may be will skyrocket. >> you feel that trump could actually -- >> no. >> let me explain. he's being ill responsible. the american people need to understand that. the national security agencies have said that his comments might be used as a poster for eyes. he's driving and fueling anger amongst americans and abroad. >> dickerson: we'll be right back.
