professor, you may have heard, i am sure you did, that iowa congressman introduced a bill trying to recite that part of the statue that concerns citizenship. is it worth having a debate about what makes american. >> it's vutful it clarifies how we feel about values. we came up with a solution not involving immediatelying the constitution, but makes children whom we are discussing automatic birth right citizens buns they live here for a period of time, such as six years answereded schools, through the second or third grade. that is a way of trying to harmon harmonize harmonizecommitment as a rule of law and recognising the advantages of a status of a significant number of people in our society. is there a virtue in not having a kid show up as a young adult after not having the united states there at all that's why my proposal requires the child to spend time here. it's reasonable. let's say that the person is 7-8 years old. he would be automatic and retro attic citizen. i cut you off. go ahead. >> it's an interesting proposeal this only is in relation to unlawful people. these chinese peopl

in iowa. am i crazy to think that the hillary clinton presidency is not so inevitable?oters are starting to realize how awful a hillary clinton presidency would be. this is, you are crazy, kennedy. so ladies and gentlemen, welcome. so she is doing not so well against senator rand paul who has had a little bit of a bump in places like colorado and iowa. >> the truth of the matter is that it's way too early for us to be talking about what you're talking about. i think that some of them are the bigger concerns in the election. kennedy: a woman who's been planning since been president since 1991, is it ever too early? matt nobody knows anything. nobody really knows. >> some people are attracted to some of his views, i don't know very much about some of their views. as a result of that you're having this artificial situation happen, once you start getting into a real debate, you're going to see this. >> these polls are artificial until they benefit you. and then all of a sudden -- >> i've said that from day one. any poll is irrelevant. as i said, nobody knows about anything

so, i am here in iowa to begin a conversation about how we do that.: two college students have been charged for a sexual assault that florida police say was witnessed in broad daylight, but that no one tried to stop. cell-phone video shows the suspects surrounding an incapacitated woman on a crowded beach filled with college students on their spring break. police say the victim was then gang raped while a large crowd stood around. a third suspect is being sought. the woman says she believes she was drugged and doesn't remember the incident. former educators in atlanta, georgia, have been given prison sentences of up to seven years for their roles in a massive cheating scandal at public schools. prosecutors say teachers were forced to modify incorrect answers, and students were even allowed to fix their responses during exams. twenty-one other defendants avoided trial with plea deals, but the nine sentenced to jail rejected sentencing agreements so they can appeal their verdicts. it is said to be one of the largest school cheating scandals in u.s. hist

with politics hillary clinton getting ready for the first official campaign event in the state of iowa. i am jenna lee. >> and i am jon scott. clinton's second presidential campaign kicks off in the state she lost to president obama in 2008. just in an hour from now she will meet with students in a community college after a road trip that is getting all kind fz attention. michael warren and political reporter for the daily beast is our guests this hour. all she has to do is get in a van and go to chipotle and she gets all kinds of attention. >> i wish i could explain that. it is bizarre. we are looking at security footage and she's wearing sunglasses and no one notices her and all of the coverage of hillary clinton's magical mystery tour to iowa is over the top, and that's what political reporters are supposed to be doing while they wait for the campaigning to start. it is a role problem that her surrogates and friends in the media have to say she is going to chipotle and buying a burrito and saying that she is authentic makes you question how confident she is that she comes across that way?

campaign again tonight says she's taking the same approach with all but a few precious softballs in iowa. >> i amso delighted to be here. >> reporter: just weeks after collecting the last of a string of six-figure speaking fees hillary clináon nodded when talking about student debt. >> i hope to be that voice and a champion for you and others like you. >> reporter: and smiled just right as at times she conducted her own oprah-esqe talk show. >> jennifer, what about your business? >> staying tightly on message as her ad team lurked behind the scenes getting footage for future campaign ads. >> unfortunately, the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top and we need to reshuffle the card. >> reporter: not all democrats are buying her championing of the middle class. after years of coziness with wall street. telling a bloomberg breakfast today, "is hillary clinton, are other candidates, prepared to take on the billionaire class? based on her record, i don't think so." hillary went another day with not doing a sit-down interview, only answering questions from the small business owners. >> i'l

she wants to use iowa to reinto deuce herself to america. >> so i am hitting the road to earn your vote. >> she is on the way meeting and tweeting with families along the way. that's the strategy. go small and make it about people and not the rallies. >> she is going to go and talk about policies and what matters. >> the thing is that the there's a certain sense that they're above the law. >> people want to see change and something new and hillary is not that person. >> jeb bush and ted cruz are out with adds against her. >> we must do better than the clinton reform. >> does america want a third obama term. >> she was a great is supporter of mine in the general election. she was an outstanding secretary of the state. she is my friend. >> even the campaign senator is not in the corner yet. >> that substance will focus on the middle class. >> so already a lot of buzz about hillary clinton that could die down and then florida senator is plan to go announce his bid for president in 2016. >> another big day. tracey pots thank you so much. >>> saturday night live and the behind the scenes mov

iowa in the first couple days of her new campaign? >> well i think clinton's people are probably talking to the same people i am i think there is a real sense that people want to see her come in talk to people, go to diners, go to coffee shops. do the kind of sort of low key retail politicking that iowa caucus goers expect and demand from their candidates. i think in terms of this approach, i mean that's what i am hearing. activists say they want to see her, and there's been some anxiety on the democratic side the past few months, because compared to the republican field where you have a huge field of candidates, there's less happening with democrats and they want to get going. they want to see candidates, they want to talk to them, vet them, even if it is hillary clinton, and they've met her before, they want her out here. >> and we are happy to have our viewers join the conversation as well. phone lines are open. republicans can call in. democrats, independents. take us to new hampshire, a gathering of republicans scheduled for this weekend in new hampshire, tell us what's going on. >> absolutely. friday and saturday nearly every re

( cheers and applause ) and i am so happy to be here inre iowa. >> reporter: clinton did explainta in the greatest detail yet, why she is running again. >> but i just felt like i couldn't walk away from what i see as the challenges we face, and i want to build on what we've done to get out of the terrible recession and get back on our feet. >> reporter: and she began to lay out a platform, or what she called the four big fights she would take on as president.th >> we need to build the economyy. of tomorrow not yesterday. we need to strengthen familiesca and communities because that's where it all starts. >> reporter: the final two, she said she wants to protect the nation from foreign threats and get untraceable money out of politics. this, scott, from someone who is t expected to raise a record $2 billion for her presidential campaign.el >> pelley: and, nancy, we want to note the three republicansnn who have announced their candidacies had no public events today. election day just 82 weeks away. nancy, thanks very much. four days after that historic handshak

. >> road trip i guess on the way here where i am in iowa. i've been here for a few days. from last time. she was a distant figure. barack obama made 69 trips here. he was on the ground. he got remarkable turnouten 2008. she finished third behind barack obama and john edwards. this road trip is about how she's reaching out to ordinary people. her fabs on social media are delighting in that she called the van scooby. republicans on social media this morning are opining that maybe in the words of one republican strategist, clinton and the scooby gang can solve the mystery of the 30,000 vanished e-mails. the back and fort has already started. no reporters along for the ride. i think this is her chance. you saw in the video, the first 90 seconds was all about ordinary people telling their stories. we didn't see the candidate until a minute and a half in. >> i thought it looked like a home depot ad until she stepped in. you mentioned reporters. her people in new york had an off the record chummy cocktail party. were you invited? >> i understand there was one in new york on frid

iowa? professional assessment? mary: keeping in mind i am 60 plus. would say her strategy is driven by the imperative of she is not a charismatic character. i'm not being a partisan and i am not anti-hillary clinton. but when you are running -- when you are the inevitable front runner and you had to do such a soft launch ss of the real thing. it says that the obvious which she is not that strong. she is not that good. they think they can make up with some sort of social media modern internet technology that obama was a whiz at the i am not sure that is with her grandmother message. >> the three most likely republican nominees are? mary: jeb, rand, rubio cruz and walker. there is 5. that's why we will balance the budget. the curiosity factor, the all other thing mrs. clinton doesn't have, curiosity. first rubio, walker, people know jeb. philosophically pure people are looking at cruz and rand. this will be so much fun for you. you will have 15 books. >> the things democrats are looking for is -- some of them they are counting of historic nature of her

immediately followed up with the video on-line tweeting with this on twitter i am hitting the trail to earn your vote headed to iowa, h. fox news will learn she is scheduled to be in iowa on tuesday. clinton's campaign announcement carl cameron is pouring in all of the action pouring in from gop rivals for example. more on that in a moment. first ed henry is life in des moines iowa. you are learning more details about how quickly hillary clinton is going to ramp up her campaign. tell us about it. >> she will be on the ground outside des moines where i am about a couple hours outside on tuesday as you noted. the new information we have is she will be meeting with educators and students at a community college then on wednesday a little closer in it the suburbs of des moines she will have an event with small business owners. that fits into the theme as you mentioned in the campaign video where she is trying to say i will be the example onof the middle class. the point of that is they realize the 2008 campaign was more about her trying to make history as the first female president. she got caught up in some of that. di

iowa in 2008. what's your strategy? >> i'm having a great time. can't look forward to anymore than i am. thank you. >> clinton then headed to her first public event at a community college in iowa. when her van arrived reporters went chasing after it. modern day journalism. once inside she laid out themes to a group of students and teachers. >> the deck is still stacked in favor of those already at the top. there's something wrong with that. there's something wrong when ceos make 300 times more than the typical worker and something wrong when hedge fund managers pay lower tax rates than nurses or truckers i saw on i-80. i'm running for president because i think that americans and their families need a champion, and i want to be that champion. i want to stand up and fight for people. >> sounds like elizabeth warren right there. clinton got more specific on a number of issues. most notably saying she would support a constitutional amendment on campaign finance reform. while the democratic front runner was in iowa republicans were already on the attack. here's jeb bush and majority leader mit

i went to the state university of new york and for graduate state university in iowa and iowa city. so i amduct of moving up through education and one reason why i continue to teach and believe in especially a liberal arts education so that you can have time to find out who you are and what you are. i didn't even know that one could be a writer until i was an undergrad. >> brown: really? that's when books and literature came into your life. >> exactly. >> brown: the idea of writing. i started out as a music major, flunked my audition. i said, what am i going to do? i was in a liberal arts college, i loved history and said i was a history major. but we took a course and read stories by o'connor and i said i'm a double major, history and english. junior year i launched a career of writing and here i am. i loved the idea of allowing one person to grow and discover what he or she can do in life. >> brown: what other writers turned you on besides flannery o'connor. >> hemingway. shortly thereafter when i started to write myself, it was the whole wave of the absurdist play writes and john barth a

iowa. work hard. i am not going to back anybody. that is my status. that is my advice. give them advice, but the gist of my advice is, don't ignore iowa. come and work hard. it's the only place in all of these campaigns for the president where you can run a campaign on just a few dollars and maybe get elected president of the united states as jimmy carter did, as example. stephanie: ted cruz, is he a viable candidate? senator grassley: of course. have you ever heard him talk? have you ever had anyone give a speech off the cup with more content and reasoning -- off the cuff with more content and reasoning in it then he can? what that make him make a present? we will find out. stephanie: is he qualified? senator grassley: you do not think with just one month of people running for president that i will make a decision based on one month of campaigning? i have a whole year to make that decision. it is for his getting his degree is from princeton and harvard, i don't think anybody should say he is coming up short. and what vast things he had to overcome in the state of texas

different this time is back then she waited about a week to get to a battled ground state like iowa where i am right now because she was still in the senate. there were votes on the senate floor. she didn't get out on to the trail. she is expected now within 48 hours of this sunday announcement to be herein on the ground, fighting out for the votes. she needs to do it, because last time there was sort of this idea that she had taken votes for granted and ended up finishing third behind barack obama and john edwards. one of her advisers from the 2008 campaign tells us this time she has to go door to door to get those votes. listen. >> i have not met her campaign team. but they have to really back away. they need to let hillary clinton be hillary clinton. they need to make the secretary become hillary and when you do that you open up her personality. because she's the most qualified person to run for president. >> now, she will be taking fire from all sides here. on the ground i interviewed both of her two democratic rivals that have emerged so far, martin o'malley and jim webb. they were both s

am jon scott. hillary clinton on the road to iowa after kicking off her campaign on social media. marco rubio will announce he will run for president later today in miami. he told top donors that he is uniquely qualified for the job. >> we have fox team coverage and ed henrow in iowa and we begin with chief correspondent carl cameron in miami. >> reporter: hi, jon, down in front of the freedom tower. marco rubio will make the announcement at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. this is where cubans were processed in 1962. it is a symbol for him. his background and history and heritage and his emphasize for the foreign policy and the need for u.s. to have a more sophisticated and robust foreign policy than what president obama and hillary clinton offered. he came out and we shouted him questions and here is a sampling of late. >> i look forward to seeing you guys tonight. i hope you guys will be here tonight, it will be great. >> are you prepared to be president. >> reporter: we tried but it is only a few hours before we hear what mr. rubio has to say. he will emphasize foreign policy and take

am from the midwest. i have driven across iowa. it is not what it is cracked up to be. al: looking ahead, what do you expect? she will have meetings in living rooms and diners and with small groups. she can't just do that. they will have to be more. jerry: i think she will have to start answering, and finish answering, the key question what is the rationale for her candace -- candidacy and presidency? they know that "it's my turn" is not it. they want to know, what's the point? she will have to have clarity. i think there was a time in which the hillary world thought that say and, i am a more competent version of obama would be a good message. but that's not enough. there has to be a reason to vote for her and she has to lay it out. karen: what she has to do with now is her own foreign-policy record. the world looks like a very scary place right now. she has to explain to people especially people who do not think that obama has been strong enough overseas, how she would be different when she actually served as secretary of state. al: hard to break on some of those issue

iowa. this is "now." >> i'm having a great time. can't look forward to it any more than i am. thank you. >> will going small help hillary clinton win big in iowa? >> she wants to get more up close and personal with voters. >> i'm here in iowa to begin a conversation. >> florida senator marco rubio officially entering the presidential fight. >> yesterday is over. >> generational moment. that's a slap at both hillary clinton and his mentor jeb bush. >> i've come here to talk about the challenges we're facing as a country. >> new hampshire is a state where historically politicians of both countries have gotten second chances. chris christie shouldn't be counted out. >> the road trip is over. hours ago, this was the scene when hillary clinton parked the scooby doo van where team clinton held the first public event of its presidential campaign. we got a firsthand account of hillary clinton's rationale for running for president in 2016. >> americans have come back from some pretty tough economic times. and our economy and our country are much better off because american families have

iowa if 2008. how do you win this time what's your strategy? >> i'm having a great time. i can't look forward any more than i am. >> thank you. you learn from 2008? so secretary clinton declining to directly answer my question. instead, reiterated what we heard from her, which is she is excited to be back in iowa. she will have to answer that question for voters though. i have talked to other voters including democrats who say they want to see her getting up close and personal with voters. they want to hear what she has to say about issues like health care and education. as for that "new york times" story about the congressional investigators asked about her personal e-mail use back in 2012 and she essentially ignored that request. no reaction yet from the clinton campaign, but i can tell you a number of the voters i have spoken here in iowa have said they are really concerned about that issue. they want clarity on that point. polls show she has a healthy lead here in iowa. i can tell you it's resonating with voters. she will be talking to visitors in norwalk later on today. she could get a few shouted questions from the pres

i am thrilled to be starting this campaign in iowa going out listening to people and learning from all of you what works, what you're concerned about, what the problems are, but also what's exciting about the future. then putting it all together so that we can be really focused on how we respect each other again, trust each other again, listen to each other again, work with each other again. sort of leave the ideology and partisanship at the door. and come in and just say, look, here are the goals we should have. an opportunity system, i'm going to steal that, an opportunity system for all of our people starting before they go into formal school and all the way through in the education arena and then in all the other areas that really matter to middle class families. that know that this is the root forward for them and their kids. i'm really grateful you-all would take time out to spend with me. i want to give anybody a chance to say any last-minute concern or issue. andrew, anything? since you're going to the naval academy, how do you see our security and some of the issues around you

i am stunned we do not see headlines into the state of iowa. she'll be a good candidate. she learned a lot from 2008. she's going to raise a lot of money. she'll get heavy support from women but will she inspire? will she get people to come out and vote who otherwise would not? watch that. >> maybe hispanic outreach. she thought, let's go to chipotle and get some pico de gayo. >> is she on the blackberry? it remind me of the other picture on twitter. this picture says it all to me. she's not relatable, she's dressed up both wearing sunglasses. she has the assistant with her. this is middle america. she's in middle america and she is dressed like that and acting like that. >> i find this stunning, ladies. everyone has a camera in their pocket. everyone. how come there are no pictures of hillary clinton's trip from new york to iowa? >> she's a city girl. >> she had to leave the evening of sunday. >> at 3:00 in the afternoon? >> by the time we get on the air and it's fully formed and she's on her way, so i give her the benefit of the doubt of maybe she travelled at a time wh

state of iowa, the traditional first stop for presidential hopefuls. tom ackerman reports from des moines. >> i am for president. >> reporter: hillary clinton made the announcement without any cheering crowds or spot lit stage. the message delivered instead in a glossy two-minute video featuring a diverse mix of middle class americans voicing their personal hopes for the future. >> every day americans need a champion and i want to be that champion. >> reporter: clinton's first campaign stop will be the state of iowa. to win the democratic party's popular caucus there. it's where up start program beat her in 2008 with a grassroots effort that showed her route to the white house is should not have been taken for granted bench before her arrival parents watching over their children play football told us hillary ought do better if she doesn't campaign like the inevitable winner. >> she has to act like a second tier candidate and play hard if she wants to win it. that's going to be her challenge if she really wants it. she's going to have to show it. >> reporter: this time, clinton will frame hermes i

iowa in the first couple days of her new campaign? >> well i think clinton's people are probably talking to the same people i am i think there is a real sense that people want to see her come in talk to people, go to diners, go to coffee shops. do the kind of sort of low key retail politicking that iowa caucus goers expect and demand from their candidates. i think in terms of this approach, i mean that's what i am hearing. activists say they want to see her, and there's been some anxiety on the democratic side the past few months, because compared to the republican field where you have a huge field of candidates, there's less happening with democrats and they want to get going. they want to see candidates, they want to talk to them, vet them, even if it is hillary clinton, and they've met her before, they want her out here. >> and we are happy to have our viewers join the conversation as well. phone lines are open. republicans can call in. democrats, independents. take us to new hampshire, a gathering of republicans scheduled for this weekend in new hampshire, tell us what's going on. >> absolutely. friday and saturday nearly every re

iowa in 2008. how do you win this time? what's your strategy? >> i'm having a great time. can't look forward anymore than i am. thank you. >> meanwhile -- >> in depth submitting to interviews. >> meanwhile the video that shows the level of media attention clinton is getting in iowa, look at what happened live on msnbc today when hillary's van pulled up to the community college. react to this, andrea. watch this picture. >> you can see the media running behind me here to chase the scooby van. >> wow. >> she's going around to the back. >> wow. they're -- >> we'll see her very soon. >> the guy in the orange pants is pretty quick. alex, i mean, i'm looking at these people -- wow. all right, orange pants, he's really outnumbered now by all the people that are racing around the back. >> andrea, this is the greatest mismatch in history. you've got reporters running their butts off just to get a shot at her getting out of her van. no questions, no answers. this is an interesting kind of campaign. >> at least kristin welker caught up and got a question to her. >> i'm having a great time. >> look, you know, this is very

still believe for him, if you're rick perry, the focus is going to be in iowa or south carolina more than the great estate. >> steve am i being incredibly boring thinking this is sort of jeb bush's to lose? when we talk about these people it feels like exceptions to the conventional. >> i guess i disagree with it and what we're sort of conditioned for good reason to look back at history and say the establishment guy always ends up winning in the end. mccain, mitt romney all of that. i look at mitt romney. he was the establishment guy, the one supposed to win. and you look at who he had to beat and it was herman cain it was newt gingrich, rick santorum, last seen losing the senate race by 20 points and in the face of the weakest opposition for any front-runner in the face of that lost 11 states to rick santorum. i left the 2012 campaign saying my god, if mitt romney had a challenger to string together a coherent sentence he would have been beaten. the appetite was that strong to go with somebody else and literally couldn't find. i mean, rick perry in the race in 2011, 20 points ahead. all the gaps. if not for that, ric

iowa. they want to change that and that is why in the video they made clear they would have a new theme this time. gl i am getting ready to do something, too. i'm running for president. americans have fought their way back from tough economic times but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top. i'm hitting the road to earn your vote. because its your time and i hope you will join me on this journey. >> so the point is that she wants to say she is taking nothing for granted this time, an acknowledgment that last time perhaps she did. a little reality check. last year she was also trying to kind of set this message that she was standing up for the middle class and stumbled because she talked about being flat broke when she left white house as first lady when people quickly pointed out she had money coming in from previous books, speeches and the like. this message is not as easy as they are laying out. >> one thing you will get into is where americans feel the economy is right now and kind of overlay that as tapestry upon what hillary clinton has promised that she might be able to do. a lot of
