from new york. i'm chris hayes. last night's debate made painfully clear what has slowly been dawning on the republican party. just over two weeks until the iowa caucuses. donald trump is setting the terms of the race. he is the man to beat. and to the extent that anyone else in the field can stop him, the only one putting up a real fight is the one candidate the establishment seems to like even less than donald trump. ted cruz, who last night went head to head with trump for the very first time. new polling out yesterday shows exactly what the stewards of the gop's electoral chances have to be worried about. in a three-way race between trump, cruz, and establishment favorite marco rubio, rubio finishes third while trump and cruz get a combined 71% of republican support. that was pretty much the dynamic on stage last night, with trump and cruz trading shots and dominating the debate and the rest of the field struggling to make an impact. in one of the testiest exchanges of the evening they tangled over trump's sugge

jeremiah hamilton's unique position in new york, present any writer with an opportunity for coming to a new understanding of the way the 19th century city work. he offers a way to reconsider subjects that are seen without too much sort as being quintessentially white. totally segregated from african-american past. this is the case with wall street, the stock exchange in the great fire, but is also true of that penny press, revolution of 1830s. far too often historian street african-americans if segregation succeeded. as if blacks lived in their own separate world physically and culturally removed from everyone else. in effect, african-americans become segregated for a second time in the telling of their history, easily marginalized, relegated to the footnotes. hamilton traveled all over such black-and-white distinctions and anyone telling his story today must be similarly disdainful of racial shibboleths. in the end, it is hamilton who stands alone in the limelight. his was that dramatic life, cinematic in its vividness and included incidents of derring-do, a trial that was the talk o

it's like this one was custom built for new york city. i know we're getting 30 inches over parts of new jersey but we're going to close in on that number in new york city. let's go check out what is a blinding snowstorm continuing over the george washington bridge. we're at 27, northeast wind gusts at 32. what we're noticing is this one band which continues to hold its momentum is still sitting over new york city. jeff smith is out in it. we keep looking at our tool that shows the heavy snow bands and going crazy. back to you. can you hear me out this there? jeff? >> jeff, are you there, buddy? >> they're working on it. this is the tool he's going to use. see all the grays, that's some of the diminishing intensity so it's happening in the hudson valley, parts of island and down through monmouth and ocean city. not over new york city. it went to the pink and then the reds came back. we start tacking on that. let's estimate that we're closing in on 22 inches of snow. we could start pushing 2 feet or more. jeff is outside. this is what that b

there he is. [ cheers and applause ] this is new york. this is new york. and we are new yorkers, and we will not allow people to dwell in the gutter like garbage. it hurts all of us. you can see it on people's faces. every time we walk by a homeless person, most of us can't even bear to look. we can't bear to make eye contact. we pretend that we don't see them. why? because we don't want them to see us. because it diminishes us to walk past a brother and sister sitting on the sidewalk and doing nothing. it's as if every time we walk by a homeless person, we leave a piece of our soul on that curb. this is not who we are as a people. it's not our values as a society. it's not what we were taught. it's not how we live, and it's not what we're going to do as a government. we are better than this. now, we have made significant progress on the problem before, and working together, we can do it again. i believe our people will support the funding necessary to help protect and support their brothers and sisters. that's why in this budget i propose a record $20 bil
