[ applause ]

comforting a supporter struggling with hardship and depression. >> a powerful and moving moment there. 24 hours ago. no room for error for these candidates. all of them pulling out the stops, including jeb bush, whose mom, barbara bush, 90 years old, will be back on the trail today. back to you. >> peter, thank you so much. donald trump is with us now on the phone. mr. trump, good morning. >> good morning. >> let's see if we can clear something up that has become an issue in south carolina. the question is whether or not you said that the bush administration lied to get us into the war in iraq. here is exactly what you said at the debate on saturday night. we will roll the tape. >> they lied. they said there were weapons of mass destruction. there were none, and they knew there were none. >> here's what you said last night at a cnn town hall when asked by a voter, who didn't like the sentiment, whether you'd be willing to reconsider. we'll roll that tape. >> would you be willing to rethink that? >> a lot of people agree with

i'm not talking about lying. i'm not talking about not lying. >> which is it, mr. trump? it seemed like you backed off that claim a little bit last night. are you still saying that the bush administration lied to get us into iraq? >> i'm not saying anything one way or the other. >> you did. >> savannah, i'm saying that as far as i'm concerned, the decision to go into iraq was probably one of the worst decisions ever made in the history of our country. it led to the total de destabilization of the middle east and everything now. >> i'm sorry to interrupt but to this specific issue, there are voters in south carolina that are seizing on this. whether or not you accused the bush administration of lying. >> i think you're a seizing on it. i don't think the voters are seizing on it. he lied or not. he could have. maybe he did and maybe he didn't.

whatever, the decision to middle east, iraq, was one of the worst decisions in the history of our country. we lost thousands ofave wounded ware your ed ed warriors who i love all over the place. that was the decision. iran is taking over iraq. we lost and have been there. if you go in, you go in to win. but the war in iraq was one of the worst decisions. why he made it, there were noass destruction. he said there were weapons of mass destruction. there were no weapons of mass destruction. it's been a horrible decision. maybe the worst made by the united states. >> mr. trump, it's willie geist. let's take up that question of iraq. you have said as one of the pillars of your foreign policyals that you had the wisdom to know it would be a bad idea to invade iraq. you said you said that in 2003 and 2004. last night, clip of you talking to howard

where you were asked, should we go into iraq and you said, so. i guess my question to you, mr. trump, is, are you exaggerating how strong war? i know you've said things down the road that put you out there as someone who was against the road, but are you exaggerating how hard you were against it? >> g before the war started. by the time the war started and you have documentation of this, by the time the war started, i was against articles in 2003 -- don't forget, i wasn't a politician. nobody cared about my opinion. that was just a question asked of me. i was a an entrepreneur. >> at the time, did you think it was a good idea? >> to go into the war? >> in 2002. >> it was a because the question was asked in 2002, long before the war started. by the time the war started, i was against it and immediately after it years, identify

i said it'll destabilize the middle east and iran will take over the middle east. that's what happened. >> let's talk about the dust upfrancis. we heard about what you had to say about that, and you feel maybe pope francis didn't say something as initially you were told. you said yesterday no leader, especially a religious leader, should have a right to question another man's religious and i was struck by that. over this last week, and even on friday, a week ago, you tweeted about ted cruz. how can ted cruz be an he lies so much and is so dishonest. you have been questioning another person's faith. >> no, i'm not. ted cruz told many lies. he gotyou'll be reporting on one in a while, what he did with marco rubio, with a false ad he put out. what he did to ben carson in >> you questioned his faith,

he's a liar makes him less of a christian. >> no, i didn't. >> how can he be anristian when he lies so much and is dishonest. >> i'm not questioning his faith. i say that ted cruz holds up the bible and then lies. he's been caught on almost alls. he did voter violation forms, which is a fraud. he did so many things so bad. i've never seen anything like it. marco rubio called him an. he's never seen anything like it. i've never seen a politician do that. ted cruz lies. everybody knows he lies. it's disgraceful and, yet, hes an evangelical christian. that's his -- i'm not -- i'm just saying he says it. >> mr. trump, thank you so much. i think we cut it out -- phone signal cut out but i think we got it. thank you so much. >> thank you, mr. trump. things are getting tighter on the democratic side. look at our new poll.ary clinton leads bernie sanders nationally. 53%/42%.

was up 25 points. andrea mitchell is race. good morning. >> good morning to you, willie. wbin hours of bernie sanders calling bill clinton's achievements disastrous, hillary clinton came out swinging against her rival at the msnbc town hall. >> i don't know where all this comes from because maybe it'ator sanders wasn't really a democrat until he decided to run for president. >> reporter: it was the first time hillary clinton so fiercely attacked bernie sanders for not democrat. >> he doesn't even know what the last two democratic presidents now what, it's true. it's true. >> reporter: firing back at sanders for saying in 2011 that president obama should face a primary challenger. >> the idea that there can be aimary with different ideas get floated and debated, it's not terrible. >> reporter: and for criticizing bill clinton. >> i happen to think bill

think our trade agreements from nafta, from tpp, have been a disaster. >> reporter: many questions focusing on immigration reform.woman, a u.s. citizen, whose husband was deported. >> what would you do to bring my husband home? >> clearly, those are not the i want to see, and i will change those poll icy policies. >> how long would it take to change the policies? i've been waiting six years. >> i can't -- we will use oure office and power as much as we can. >> reporter: later, unpr reached out to her. >> i will end the three and ten-year bar provision, so you don't have to face that ever again. >> reporter: both were asked if they'd tackle immigration irst 100 days. >> not a dictator here. it has to do withom the congress. >> it's at the top of this list. >> reporter: clinton came under fire for not releasing

>> i am happy to release i have, when everybody else does the same. >> reporter: with exit polls showing young women voting for sanders, he embraced his feminine onsider myself a strong feminist. in fact, gloria steinem, everybody knows she's one of the leading feministsde me an honorary woman many, many years ago. >> on thursday night, both candidates showed up at a unionith labor a key factor in the vote for the caucuses tomorrow. they have one day left before the caucuses. it is a critical test ofs campaign. she was once far ahead and now it's neck and neck. >> senator sanders playing to the honorary woman vote in nevada.hank you. let's bring in chuck mod, todd, moderator of "meet the press" and moderator of last night'sll. >> let's talk about the town

the polling there, i know you said before, polling is unreliable. we don't get a lot of it. it looks tight based on what we what was your sense of things in the room with secretary clinton and senator sanders last night? >> well, what was fascinating was the fact that, by the way, both of them goterent points. it was a ruckus room a little bit. i think it tells you something about what's going on in the ground in nevada. the time i spent there,ear to me that both campaigns agree that sanders has the momentum and the question is whether clinton's she had a week ago here, is big enough to hold for a surge that there's an expectation that sanders supporters areflood at the last minute, reregister and get there. >> let's talk about south carolina. february 27th for the democrats to vote there. we have a poll out of on both sides. where does that shake out? >> look, i think a lot depends on nevada.

it's a must-win for sanders, but a sanders allows him to say, see, i can win in a place with a diverse elek ctorate electorate. it creates another week oflines for clinton and it can close the gap in south carolina. a win in nevada would allowt a single digit race in south carolina. that's why saturday is so important for both candidates. >> chuck todd on his way home, >> thanks, chuck. it is an emotional day atourt where the body of justice antonin scalia will lie in repose. a public viewing ahead of funeral tomorrow. pete williams is at the court for us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. this will be justice scalia's final return to the supreme court. a building where he was among the longest serving u.s. history. today's ceremony is one he knew well. >> reporter: inside the supreme

e thompson is at vatican city with more. >> good morning. as we've seen with hisonald trump's border wall, pope francis can be blunt. even his closest observers were surprised by the exception he to the church's opposition to artificial birth control. >> reporter: in pope francis' native latin america, the zika by mosquitos, is being linked to babies born with abnormally small urged to avoid getting pregnant in the region of the world that is enormously catholic. the pope said contraceptionent zika is the lesser of two evils compared to abortion. he said abortion is a crime, absolute evil, and likened it to what the mafia does.ion is not the first in church history. in the '60s, the pope allowed nuns in danger of rape to use

in that case as in the zikaidemic now, francis said it was a clear exception. that exception has some people in latin america hailing francis as a modern pope who finds but experts insist this is not a change in church doctrine. >> this is not a blanket statement to apply to all forms of contraception at any his is dealing with a disease that's wreaking havoc in people's lives. >> now, pope francis also talked about the latest gossip here vatican concerning a close friendship st. john paul ii had with a female americanher. pope francis said friendship with a woman is not a sin. popes can have holy and healthy friendships with women, their input. without it, he said, men are missing something. >> quite the newsy trip back to the vatican. appreciate it. let's get a first checkeather from dylan in for al.
