joining us now, trump national campaign co-chairman and iowa sam clovis and romney presidential campaign strategists steward stevens and conservative columnist kathleen parker. the sense over the last couple weeks is that donald trump was losing ground in iowa. now you have the latest polls indicating basically a dead heat. do you think the questions that donald trump has been raising about cruz' eligibility are having an impact? >> not much of that, anderson, as much as just the shifting sands. this is -- look at what happened in 2012. we had a massive breakout that occurred exactly three weeks before the primary there and rick santorum was at 4% and ended up winning that. i think there is a lot of shifting to go. one of the things that's important is to look at who the people are and committed to their -- who they are supporting and i think donald trump's position is very strong with people committed to him and i also think that there are still a lot of shifting to go on. i've seen it on caucus night myself people get up and make presentations and change their mind sitting in the seats

sam clovis says, i am and i'm with him.you a conservative. >> i am a conservative. i'm a russell kirk conservative a bill buckley conservative. tick off a couple of things here. are we for smaller government? yes. are we for a strong national defense? yes. are we for fink's responsibility? we're the only ones that have a tax plan that is maximum pro growth and the fact we do have a plan for the budget. yes. are we pro-life? yes. support marriage? yes. as far as i'm concerned those are all the four legs of the conservative stool and mr. trump is there on all of them. if you want to get in and nick pick and say i'm more conservative than the next guy, let's talk about the fundamentals. the fundamentals are what russell kirk laid out and those are the four legs of that conservative stool and mr. trump is fine on all of those. >> well, is he fine enough for the base? you know, you use the phrase tick off. one of the thinging you got to be concerned about ticking off, the true conservatives who don't like who have come to the po

sam clovis is one of the constitutionalists out there who listens to his team.is about winning in november. the establishment may not like ted cruz very much. they do fear donald trump. what we have seen is the ability to build the coalition. they are making a big deal about making deals. but the republic can't haven't made deals in a long time. they have today it late and given up everything. it would be nice to make some demand and get something in return. charles: there is a controversy over sarah palin saying she blames president obama for the problems with the vets and more specifically recent troubles with her son. we want to take a listen to that. >> when x own son is going through what he goes through coming back. i can certainly relate with other families who kind of feel these ramifications of ptsd and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with. and it makes me realize more than ever, it's now or never for the sake of america's finest, that we have that commander-in-chief who will respect them. char where jesse, there is no doubt the admi

sam clovis, national co-chair for the donald trump campaign and welcome back, sir. >> happy new year,how you doing? >> i'm all right. let's talk about the trump campaign in iowa. a lot of us who have watched traditional campaigns we have put together have not seen one like trump's succeed in the past. tell me why this is different. are you concerned that cruz is out-organizing you right now? >> i don't think so. i don't think so at all. i think you touched on it right at the top. most people have tried to put this campaign into the same template that is seen over and over again out here in iowa. this has been an entirely different campaign with a totally different mechanism, a whole different set of modalities that we're using in our approach to this. i think that the telling aspect of this will be on february 1st, when the votes are counted and we see how many people actual turn out in the caucus event and vote for donald trump. i think you're going to be surprised. i think the country's going to be surprised at the level of effort we put into this. we have the best person in iowa ru
