at that time i was already the head, i worked at the rcp, it was called, now it’s the republican scientificthe republican scientific and practical center, this is the same institution, i was in charge of the men’s department. alcoholic thirty-four, at a certain moment i realized for myself that i i wean people off this, i try to draw them out, i try to teach them how to live with it further, but without drinking alcohol, while i drink it myself, i realized that if you tell a child one thing, but demonstrate another in your behavior, whatever the child chooses, he will not hear believe, he will believe his eyes, he will repeat the behavior, for example, of his parents, if his parents clink glasses and drink, he will strive to do the same thing with non-alcoholic champagne. first of all, start with myself, in order to be at this moment i realized that i need to change effective for patients, well, when they say that add a spoon to tea for blood vessels, this means that in small doses, training for blood vessels, this is actually true, unfortunately, even like... penetrating the brain, it kill

. >> because president trump has never been stronger according to the rcp average he's in the best positionn of any republican running for the nomination since 2004. he's also the strongest candidate to beat joe biden, voters know that and that's why he's dominating ron desantis in iowa and president trump will be in iowa today hosting two events and outlining his agenda 47 plan to take it to the biden administration. ron desantis has no practice cal path to the nomination, 44 days left and best go back to what he was elected to do, go back to governing the people of florida and unifying around donald trump who has the best to beat joe biden and evict him from the white house. griff: caroline you may find it interesting, that you and gavin newsom have similar thoughts and would agree on this, of course, governor desantis facing off with governor newsom in the big debate on fox with sean hannity and this was governor newsom going after desantis with a similar sentiment. take a listen here. >> you're trolling folks and trying to find migrants and outtrump trump. now is that asking? you're dow

on who gained momentum last night in the catch up to donald trump who is ahead by 48 points in the rcp average but voters decide this and they do so starting january 15th and i will. stuart: ted cruz joins me now. thanks for coming back to the show. dollars a pleasure to have you on. who do you think won last night? trump maybe? >> i think the field continues to narrow and it is more and more battle between desantis and haley for who is going to be the chief alternative to trump. you view this something like an ncaa tournament, this is essentially the plate and rounds, the winner of it is going to go head to head with trump starting in iowa. i think you saw last night the process accelerate. the two of them are the leading contenders. they were both taking shots at each other and i think they were both speaking to their supporters. you could tell they have different strategies for who they were going after. stuart: you voted down ukraine aid because it didn't include hardening border security. can you now force biden and schumer to get serious about border control if they want help for

this is what we have trump rcp average, real clear politics, 51.4, desantis 19.4, haley at 16. does this become a race in iowa? >> i don't believe so. if anything this court ruling actually helps with republican base supporters. you've already seen donald trump's campaign send out multiple e-mails touting this court ruling. he's already fund raising off this decision in colorado. so naturally i think it actually kind of zaps a little bit of nikki haley's momentum that we saw with her numbers obviously in south carolina and in new hampshire. >> rich: jason, what do you think of that? >> i think kevin's right on that. i think this just infewer rates republicans. how is it that four democrats are in a court rule are going to exclude the guy who's beating joe biden? the guy who's leading -- you're not going to allow the voters of colorado to even use it as a write-in? this is absolutely absurd. what kind of banana republic are we living in that they think they can exclude donald trump from the ballot. all of the democrats out there preaching that donald trump was going to destroy d

when you look at the rcp average in even new hampshire. is he up by 21 points. was conducted right in the middle of what colorado just did right there. so, you didn't get voters' reaction to that. there's another poll that is going to be coming out that's after the -- how voters, how that may impact new hampshire. so, look, i think it tells you that haley does have some folks that are supporting leaving ron desantis and maybe some of them are going to haley. but, when you look at the national polling as well as new hampshire, he still up 21 points, brian. >> brian: governor sununu made the move to endorse governor haley, not governor christie. we all know he is against president trump. watch. >> she is surging. it is real. there is a lot of momentum here. we have always said this is a race between donald trump and nikki haley. people see this as a movement a real movement to kind of make sure the republican party is moving forward, making sure that we're galvanizing the country with someone that not just can win. most of the candidates can beat joe biden. that's

stuart: jason, i've got the rcp poll. 61% republican voters support trump, 13% desantis, 10% nikki haleyesn't seem like any of them chipped away at trump's enormous lead, does it? >> well, the only, not to give an excuse because i think donald trump is doing laps as i've said many times around these other candidates but, i do think the most important polls are the primary polls or the caucus polls and look, ron desantis is all in in iowa. if he doesn't do exemption alley well he is probably out but he has put a lot there in iowa. these national polls, and -- i don't think they mean anything at this point. when you're barnstorming iowa and going to 99 counties we'll see if that pays off. stuart: do you think trump could lose iowa. >> at this point every poll indicates no, but iowa is a different place. iowa is a place that looks hard. they have got to meet you, shake your hand. i don't know, i really don't know. that is nothing against trump but i got to tell you i do think there is a lot of people who really like ron desantis. they like his success and they see him as viable. i think las

the national polls has donald trump in rcp average 60%. desantis is at 12%. haley is at 12%.hen you go to iowa. donald trump is at 50%. desantis is at 19%. and haley is at 15. >> brian: desantis has that governor endorsement. >> lawrence: south carolina trump 49%. hail little 19%. desantis is at 11%. and everybody keeps saying, lawrence, why do you keep citing the polls? the only time i don't believe the polls is if the polls don't reflect what is happening on the ground. and i haven't seen this massive movement for ron desantis or nikki haley. we have seen it before when people were against, you know, bryan kemp as governor. and i said, look, i know donald trump put up this primary opponent with perdue but people like trump and they still like kemp. i haven't seen that with nikki haley or ron desantis. even if one of them gets out of the race. >> ainsley: especially when there is 30 point difference. >> lawrence: ainsley, one of them gets out of the race, and all of their support goes to the other candidate, it's still not enough to undo the support for donald trump. >> ains
