3:31 am
we have retreated from the world stage. the american values that have brought peace and opportunity are fading. that is not the america we know and love. america is a country that thinks big, acts boldly, and leads without apology. it will be up to the next president to restore that kind of leadership. i am proud of the campaign that we have run to unify our country. and to advocate conservative solutions. but the people of iowa and new hampshire and south carolina have spoken. and i really respect their decision. so, tonight, i am suspending my campaign. yeah, yeah. thank you. [ applause ] >> john dickerson discussed the
3:32 am
"face the nation." mr. trump, is it now your nomination to lose? >> i don't think so. look, i am dealing with very, very talented people, smart people. good people. and, you know i think, you know they will be competing. we have a competition. i had a great victory yesterday, south carolina amazing. new hampshire was amazing. you know the size of the victories i think were incredible. yesterday i won every delegate. won all seven congressional districts on top of having a big margin. so that was a great victory. no, we are now off to nevada. go to atlanta tonight. making a big speech in front of many thousands of people. then i go to nevada where i will be for a couple of days. i have a lot of property out there, lot of great employees. i think i should do well in nevada. >> if you didn't get the nomination, you would be shocked? >> i wouldn't be shocked. look, again, i am competing against professional politicians. senators, top of the line. i know ben carson is still in. a terrific guy. talented guy.
3:33 am
good people. so, you know i don't want to say it is mine. certainly i am leading. no question. but we have got a long way to go. >> marco rubio says now the campaign is in this phase you have to be more specific about your foreign policy vision and knowledge? >> i think i have great knowledge of foreign policy, frankly. despite what some people said, i was always against the war in iraq. and a lot of people weren't. they just got on the bandwagon recently because it was a disaster. i think i have great knowledge of, for military. i think i have better vision for syria than a lot of great military geniuses saying how to fight the war with syria. in my opinion doing just the opposite. are we going to start world war iii over syria. be there for the next 40 years. been there for 15 years in the middle east. much more than that probably. we have spent $4 trillion, maybe more than that.
3:34 am
about it. and it is time to also knock isis out. you have got to knock isis out. >> let me ask you about your position on iraq war. referred to that a lot. this week everybody has gone through the things you said. seems like it was more muted your opposition to the war. everybody knows when you say something it is pretty clear on iraq it was a little bit more muddled than you have been making it seem? >> john, i wasn't a politician. i had no even thought of being a politician. nobody talked to me about war, should we do the war or not? not like now where every day you are asked question as but things. and i spoke with howard stern, a friend of mine on his show. this was many, maybe months before. talking about. i said, yeah, i don't know. i didn't think about it. when the war started. actually joe scarborough called where basically it is on my side. that was early on. before the fact. it was very early on. he interviewed me years again at the very beginning.
3:35 am
evening. i think joe for that. look, i was against it. i was against it very early. we shouldn't have been in there. i think it is probably perhaps the worst mistake we have ever made. first of all, they didn't knock down the world trade center. it wasn't iraq. it was other people without mentioning names. other people. some day they ought to open the report and find out. it was other people that knocked down the world trade center. it's, you know, no reason to go into it big now. it was a horrible mistake that unfortunately shouldn't have done it. we have lost trillions. thousand of lives. wounded warriors i love all over the place. and, here's the other part. iran is taking over iraq. they wanted it for decades. decades. decade. they're taking it over. as the you sit there. i sit here. they're going in. taking over. walk in. do what they want. essentially already taken it over. >> last week when the pope made his remarks questioning your
3:36 am
you said, no leader especially a religious leader should have a right to question another man's religion or faith. just last week, you questioned ted cruz's christianity tin the course of the campaign may have helped you win south carolina. why i it okay for you and not okay for the pope? >> no, i never questioned ted's -- anything having to do with his religion. i just said, you can't lie and hold up a bible. you can't do that. you just can't do that. it is not appropriate. i was tough on him on that. because things were said about me that were not true. and marco rubio actually said that he lied. i have never seen another politician to another politician that he lied. i guess it happens. marco gave me cover. he said the same thing. he said it during the debate that he was lying. so i just said you can't say things which are lies and claim christianity. you can't do it. i just don't think it's good. i'm not questioning his christianity.
3:37 am
hold up the bible and lie. >> do you think the pope may have helped you in south carolina? >> well, i am asked that question so much. i just don't know. i was first in a state of shock. i have never seen the pope talk about something as unimportant as donald trump. i was like, the pope is talking about me? this can't be happening? and then i said -- good or bad? they said it is bad. i said, oh. this was the day before the election. i said the pope is saying bad things about me the day before the election? and then, i gathered myself. and i realized it had to do with illegal immigration. he was opposed to, my measures which is basically creating a border the i came out very strongly that we want a border. the mexican government probably convinced him that, you know, donald trump was saying not nice things about the border. i think it worked out well. don't think it was a positive. i think it was probably neutral. don't think it was negative. could have been a tremendous negative. turned out to be probably neutral.
3:38 am
and the pope was very nice by the way. yesterday, the pope -- issued a very nice statement. and i appreciated it. >> when the "cbs overnight news" returns. we'll hear from marco rubio, ted cruz and bernie sanders.and dirty? don't avoid it. resolve it. our new formula not only cleans and freshens but also softens your carpet so it's always inviting. resolve. a carpet that welcomes you. sometimes we use k-y ultragel to enhance my body's natural moisture so i can get into it a bit quicker. and when i know she's into it, i get into it and...
3:39 am
enough pressure in here for ya? i'm gonna take mucinex sinus-max. too late, we're about to take off. these dissolve fast. they're new liquid gels. and you're coming with me... you realize i have gold status? mucinex sinus-max liquid gels. dissolves fast to unleash max strength medicine. let's end this. your heart loves omega-3s. but the omega-3s in fish oil differ from megared krill oil.
3:40 am
by your body. megared. the difference is easy to absorb. marco rubio and ted cruz remain behind donald trump in the race for the gop nomination. both with over 22% of the vote. rubio slightly ahead in south carolina's primary. both men spoke with john dickerson. >> senator, you are saying it is now a three-man race. have to get past donald trump. that happen? >> you have to make that happen. donald trump in the 30s, high part of the electorate says divided among five or seven as the five or seven people continues to narrow down. and clearer.
3:41 am
there are people, supporting donald trump we believe we can win over as well. it is a smaller race and field today than last night. i think practically speaking it is down to three people who are still running. full-scale campaigns. i have respect for governor carson. he will stay in continue to fight. i know john kasich is out there. spend a week in michigan. today alone in three states. we are going to continue to campaign everywhere. we feel really good about this if any one wants to joint effort. marcorubio.com. we need their help. >> how will you take the voters away from donald trump as you say? what is your argument? >> here is our argument. i am realistic. in 2010. ran for the senate five years ago. been there five years. enough time to know the damage
3:42 am
country. but while i am realistic. i am optimistic about our future. if we do them we'll have the i detailed what the things are. specifically. if you are running to be president. you can't tell people you will make america great again. we are not going to win a general election with a candidate who refuses to detail policy. donald has time to do that. we can half a policy debate about whose idea are better. i believe that once people begin to understand what is at stake here, that we have a chance here, not just to make our country great, but greater than its have ever in we have a plan to do it. that will influence voters, not to mention, coalesce those who were with some one else around us. >> you want donald trump to be specific, offer more policies. people have been asking about that from him for months. in the polls what it shows the that voters seem to be flocking to him they think he is the stronger candidate on issues of national security. are people wrong?
3:43 am
not right to be for donald trump because he is stronger? >> i think strong rhetoric and strong action are two separate thing thousands. any one can use tough words. go over the top and say things that sound strong. sounding strong is not enough. you have to know how you will do it. look at some policies he talked about they would not make america stronger. views on vladamir putin are troubling. i don't think he understand who vladamir putin is or what he is freeing to do. think in detal you understand. when you are commander-in-chief, you are commander-in-chief on day one. you don't get like a six month grace period. the world does ptd -- doesn't stop and say -- let's wait till the president catches up before we challenge america. you have to know what you are doing on your first day there. look, this is not an attack tore anything of the nature. just a simple observation. if you want to be president. you have to detail specific public policy. i don't think from this point forward in the campaign, voters will be as tolerant of the lack of that as the they have been up to now.
3:44 am
putin would you expect specific policy from him on? >> i mean on everything. health care. we all agree we will repeal obama care. what will you replace it with. we have detailed. he has the not. again on, issues of energy. how will we utilize our energy resources. what's the role of the federal government? to the supreme court not just because a vacancy now, at least one or two potentially in four on virtually every major issue before the country. the federal government. important to have specificity about what you are going to do if you want to be the president. >> you said last night your campaign was defying expectations in south carolina. wasn't the expectation that you carolina given the large share of conservatives in the state. and the large share of those who christians. primaries. started in iowa.
3:45 am
couldn't win. we won -- won overwhelming victory in iowa. big, big margin. went to new hampshire. all the media said, a conservative could not compete in a moderate new england state. we won a third place finish in new hampshire. we went to south carolina where a week ago, donald trump had a 20-point dominating lead. we ended up closing that gap tremendously. and finishing with effectively tied for second place. that combination what that has done to the race. at this point. we have seen the field narrow dramatically. there is only one strong conservative who has a path to winning. that is having the effect of unifying conservatives nationally and teeing us up for nevada and special for super tuesday in nine days. that was all t always our plan. >> let me ask you a question about evangelical voters, their poll shows they went for donald trump over you. do you think he questioned your
3:46 am
>> listen, there is no doubt that both donald and marco got personal and nasty. both of them when you point to same pattern. they've scream, liar, liar, liar. they impugn your integrity. attack your character. as you know, from the beginning of the campaign. consistently refused to respond in kind. not going to impugn them. any one's integrity, or attack their character, i will happily praise both donald trump and marco rubio as men who i admire. as people who, not going to go personal with them. but i do think we should be focused on substance and record. if you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, citizenship for 12 million people here. i am the only candidate who opposes that. you want a candidate who led the fight against obama care, who will lift the burders on small businesses and barack jobs. the only candidate with the
3:47 am
if you want a candidate to defend life, marriage, religious liberty. second amount. and appoint constitutionalists to the court. i'm the only candidate with the record. that's why conservatives are uniting behind our campaign. if they want to continue with the attacks that's their prerogative. we will stay focused on the substance. i think that's what the voters want and deserve. >> substance of immigration and building a wall. you and donald trump want the same thing. he had a lot of experience in the business world executing get things done as a biz businessman. what would you say to a voter. you may share the same goals with donald trump on this, but you lack that experience of executed the way he has in the private sector. >> listen, i have joked more than once on the campaign trail i am going to build a wall. i have somebody in mind to build it. there is no doubt that if you wanted a building contractor donald would be a strong contender for that. the question we have here is who is a leader on this issue. you know back in 2013.
3:48 am
battle on amnesty. when marco rubio joined with barack obama and chuck schumer and harry reid to push amnesty. i led the fight against it, standing shoulder to shoulder with jeff sessions and steve king and millions of americans. donald trump was nowhere to be found. he was tweeting support for amnesty a couple years ago. even now if you ask donald he wants to citizenship. 12 million people here illegally. deport them. let them come back in with citizenship. if listen, if you are a steelworker, truck driver. drives down your wages, take as way your job. we need to fight for the working men and women not monied new york interests.
3:49 am
be right back. today you can do everything in just one click, even keep your toilet clean and fresh. introducing lysol click gel. click it in to enjoy clean freshness with every flush. lysol. start healthing. yeah, click i think we should've taken a left at the river. tarzan know where tarzan go! tarzan does not know where tarzan go. hey, excuse me, do you know where the waterfall is? waterfall? no, me tarzan, king of jungle. why don't you want to just ask somebody? if you're a couple, you fight over directions. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. oh ohhhhh it's what you do. ohhhhhh! do you have to do that right in my ear? sometimes we use k-y ultragel to enhance my body's natural moisture so i can get into it a bit quicker.
3:50 am
feel the difference with k-y ultragel. degree motionsense is the world's first deodorant activated by movement. as you move, fragrance capsules burst to release extra freshness all day. motionsense. protection to keep you moving. degreeit won't let you down. there's moving... and there's moving with move free ultra. it has triple-action support for your joints, cartilage and bones. and unlike the big osteo-bi flex pills, it's all in one tiny pill. move free ultra.
3:51 am
bernie sanders finished behind hillary clinton in the saturday nevada caucuses. sanders also appeared on "face the nation." >> senator start with the south carolina primary. you said last night you think you have an excellent chance on super tuesday. are you skipping your chances in south carolina? >> well, john, i am talking to you from columbia, south carolina. we have a major rally. we are not skipping over anything. but i think after south carolina, we have 11 states, we stand a good chance of winning a number of those states. we think we have a whole lot of momentum. we lost yesterday in nevada by five points. a month ago we were 25 points behind. if you look at national polls. the numbers are tightening up.
3:52 am
nationally. i think people around the country are responding to our message of a rigged economy, a corrupt campaign. finance system and broken criminal justice system i'm feeling quite good. >> how should people judge the sanders campaign. you have come a long way. your message has influenced hillary clinton a great deal. should people say where are some big wins for bernie sanders? or hey, this is a message campaign. and let the message continue through the contests? >> this is not a message campaign the we are in the race to win. i think on super tuesday for example, you will see major victories. john as you know. most people know. these primary elections and caucus elections are
3:53 am
and that means it is not winner take off. for example, hillary clinton in nevada got 19 delegates. we got 15. we will need 2400 to win. a state-by-state process. and we are going to win big states on super tuesday. >> in the cbs poll of nevada caucus goers, 90% thought hillary clinton had the right experience to be president. only abut 10% said you had the right experience. how do you change that feeling? >> well, i think we have, remember when we started this campaign. hillary clinton is almost universally known. she was a first lady. secretary of state. a senator. i am a senator from the very small great state of vermont. not a lot of people know me. they don't know my experience the my 25 years in congress. eight years as mayor of city of burlington. get the word out. making progress. a long way to go. people have got to understand the agenda that we are fighting for. this is a senator who has taken on every powerful special interest, whether wall street or the drug companies, military industrial complex.
3:54 am
the better we do. i would point out, john, just yesterday to the best of my knowledge we actually won the latino vote in nevada. major breakthrough reaching out to a diverse nation. >> that is a major break through. hillary clinton, however won among african-american voters, a large portion of the electorate in south carolina. you don't seem to be making inroads and the clock is ticking? >> we are making inroads. we are doing better. interestingly. a lot of the polling i see is not along racial lines but generational lines. we are doing better and better among younger people. not so well among older people. african-american, white, or latino. we have a lot of work to do. but i think when the african-american community understands my record, on criminal justice, economics the agenda. raising minimum wage to $15 an hour.
3:55 am
more people shamefully than any
3:56 am
3:57 am
i am against the death penalty. young man in michigan had his birthday party dream come true. steve hartman has his story. >> reporter: it is not unusual for police to get called to a party. but what was unusual about this party in lansing, michigan is it was in their honor. a police thank you party. put on by this most unlikely host. why did you want to do this? >> so i am throwing them the thank you party to show them i still appreciate them. >> last year, in the midst of all the police protests, 11-year-old jeremy bordoua, wanted to be a police officer, asked his mom if he picked the wrong profession. he said, mom, the cops are still the good guys, right? i said, yeah, there are some bad police officers still the good ones trying to protect themselves.
3:58 am
he didn't like the idea of the good being lumped with the bad to. rectify the situation he told his mom for the next birthday all he wanted was to throw a thank you party for police. assuming they would come. >> i mean i thought there would be, three, four guys here. >> yeah, me into. >> you too? >> i didn't know this big, really. >> happy birthday to you. >> once word got out. more than 100 officers responded. and not just from lansing but all over state of michigan. deputy james rebel drove here from georgia. >> just wanted to stay thank you for doing all you do for us. >> you are welcome. >> because he saw not every police officer is bad. and that's what, he sees in us. >> one person that really
3:59 am
here to do. >> just aren't kids like that. >> reporter: gary hall flew in from los angeles. >> got to till you jeremy how much this really means to us. and how -- how humble you are. >> reporter: the kid had no idea the depth of their gratitude. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> reporter: but he was about to find out. you're a good boy. >> thank you. >> see to help make all this happen. jeremy not only gave up his party. but his presents as well. so in appreciation for that sacrifice, the lansing police officer made him an honorary member of their force. we also have a hat for you. gave him a real uniform right done to the badge. i will pin this badge on you, okay. last year at this time.
