ben carson. i could not lose that guy. and i was doing well and, you know, trump would be at 28 at that time and i remember when it was 28 and ben was 18 and then he was 19 and then the next week it was like 22 and i said, whoa, whoa, what's this happening here? i don't like this. right? and then he was 24 and then i had a pretty good poll where i took a little lead in one and but then what happened is it was, i believe, nbc, "wall street journal" who always gives me bad polls by the way i have to tell you -- oh, thank you for the nice things you always say about me. you are so nice. thank you. sitting next to david. okay? thank you very much. always so nice. now she's going to be bashed because she's embarrassed. i want to thank you. so, ben, what always -- like he would be there and then wud one poll when ben went ahead, it was the biggest story worldwide. i said this guy is unbelievable. so i started going after ben. and it's politics. ben understands that. and i was really impressed with the way he fought back because h

ben carson. i wrote two days ago, i wrote down the quote exactly, he didn't see a political path forward. he already land ad job as national chair of my faith votes. do you think when he speaks shortly we will hear he is stepping out, kat? >> absolutely. there really isn't a path forward. he has to step out. you know what? i really like ben carson but there is no particular reason he should be president. he has a lot of other things he could be doing and really well. likeable guy. i will miss him. missed him in the last debate. he needs to drop out to let votes go other places. i think he realized that. he must have. >> the sources are telling fox news, as we've been speculating that dr. ben carson is expected to say he is suspending the campaign this afternoon either in his speech at cpac or at the press conference, q&a session afterwards. so, chuck, to kat's point, if dr. ben carson drops out, how does this change the race? >> i don't think it changes it immensely. i think people expected him t

ben carson. carson says he's supporting trump because he wants the voice of the people to be heard. >> what i have been saying recently is political operatives and parties trying to assert themselves and thwart the will of the people. that's an extraordinarily dangerous place to be right now. >> this decision should be made which we the people. i believe this is carried on and they are able to deny him the nomination, it will wreak who rock and hand the nomination to democrats and the face of america will be changed for decades to come. charles: , van, i think most these candidates running. you were the former south carolina republican chairman. some would say you represent the establishment. this endorsement according to dr. ben carson about we the people hall with him after he got back from jordan after he was looking at the syrianing ar sir -- the e situation. when i talked to him last year i told him about some autism work going on in south carolina on the verge of finding help for autism. he

ben carson the headline endorsing donald trump. dr. carson said a number of things including i have forgiven him in reference to the insults and the barbs back and forth. >> i think both candidates, all the candidates in the race are getting fair share of endorsements. no one has more endorsements than congressman than marco does. every statewide leader here in florida is supporting marco rubio. we have a lot of momentum we have a lot of momentum everyone said marco won last night's debate. we saw polls closing dramatically prior to the debate. that will continue to happen and we're excited for prospects in florida on tuesday. bill: this would seem to support your argument on screen. trump ap38%, rubio at 31. difference of seven points, however, in our poll that came out the day before trump had 43, rubio, 20. that is a difference of 23 point, alex. you can do the math. average them together. but it is clear you trail in your home state. as it stands right now, that would be a do-or-die, correct? >> there is no doubt the polls have been

i would be careful using the terminology with ben carson. >>or bury the hammer. >> i don't understand it. he called him a pathological liar. he call them stupid. i can believe you can bury the hatchet. but let's look at the politics. carson refused to have anything to do with cruz he thinks cruz cheated in iowa and then followed up. let's settle everything. but used to it show up to the media that he was talking to ben. then you come to, how did he endorse? what does it mean? i don't think it means much with evangelicals. i think their doing pretty well for donald trump. >> you don't think dr. ben carson brings evangelicals? >> not at this point. >> he is already doing well. >> the key to me like reality tv. you're fired. you're off the island. both christie and ben carson seem smaller and removed as opposed to carson who said, i'm going to do something to bring evangelicals into the political process going forward. run his own game. he wanted to get on the band wagon while it was still rolling. >> you said it before. christie needed a job. a

ben carson. he put out a statement indicating he is going to stay in the race despite no victories or top four finishes in any state this evening. >> that's right. he has made clear that he is not going anywhere all along, even though he hasn't done well in any of these states. i'm told that as early as tomorrow -- this is according to a d.c. senior republican, that ben carson could be approached by establishment figures here in washington to say you know what, dr. carson, we have an idea. why don't you instead of running for president run for senate in florida. he's from florida. there's an open seat because marco rubio is retiring. he's not running for reelection. he's running for president instead. and so that might be a possibility, something that he could be approached about. now, this hasn't happened yet, i'm told that this is likely to happen and i don't even know that ben carson knows anything about it yet, but it's interesting to think about as people in washington talk about trying to n

ben carson and ted cruz. donald trump likes to talk about this out on the campaign trail all the time. he feels like ted cruz was pulling dirty tricks in iowa to bounce ben carson out of this race and that was to the benefit of ted cruz. so it is not i don't think a big surprise to see donald trump and ben carson joining forces. as trudonald trump is picking u this very key endorsement, these are desperate times for marco rubio in florida. but donald trump is all but labeling rubio as another piece of campaign roadkill on his path to nomination. >> they hate him in florida. >> reporter: trump is predicting he'll drive rubio out of the race by trouncing him in his home state. >> little marco would say -- i think he's gone. i think he's gone, but who knows. >> reporter: at a rally where a protester was sucker punched in the face, donald trump brushed off the latest from ted cruz. >> lying ted cruz came up but he said, i'm the only one who can beat donald trump. he doesn't know how to win. >> reporter: the attac

ben carson is very strong with the evangelicals. trump has done well with them. o matter who endorses him at this point, that's not to discredit dr. carson any way. i think that's the trade. >> keep in mind, he's not an establishment guy. he's an outsider. that's a big plus. charles: huge blow to ted cruz when. this started, who seemed more alike? you felt ted cruz and dr. ben carson had a lot more things alike. >> i don't think from a disruptor/outsider perspective. charles: donald trump's credentials with the evangelicals, with the outsider image, and dr. ben carson is really still liked very much across the aisle, political aisle. >> he's liked by me! he's a wonderful guy. charles: that's it! that's it! >> charles, wait a minute, on the other hand, endorsements don't really matter much, particularly at this stage in the campaign. i mean did anybody think it's a big deal because one senator has endorsed ted cruz? i don't think that matters much either. what matters is i think more than anything else what happens on tuesday. this debate probably won't change it.

ben carson. >> that's right, jake. is someone that trump once called a pathological liar, but both carson and trump really chalking it up to just politics today. this comes just four days before the next round of voting happens as this sort of serious moves happen in the force desperate to stop donald trump. >> i think it's time to end the debates. >> reporter: donald trump today is signaling he's ready to move beyond the primary battle, throwing cold water on the idea of more debates. >> how many times do you have to give the same answer to the same question? >> reporter: the gop front-runner also rolling out the endorsement of dr. ben carson. >> a much more reasonable person than comes across. >> reporter: the one-time rivals burying the hatchet. >> there are two different donald trumps. there's the one you see on the stage and there's the one who's very cerebral. >> reporter: that characterization, one that trump is two minds about. >> i probably do agree. i think there are two donald trumps. no, i think there is on

ben carson. carson of course is a political outsider, somebody who has not run for office ever in his career and he is endorsing donald trump, a political outsider, somebody who has never run for office in his career. however, as you also remember things got pretty heated back in november between trump and carson, really one-sided as trump went on the attack of coarse son as carson started rising in the polls, especially not only nationally but also in iowa as well. he went after whether carson, he went after carson's faith. went after his storyline as a child. reason at one point compared him to a child molester. this was the quote at the time. i'm quoting here. if you're a child molester, there is no cure. they can't stop you. path owe logical, there is no cure. carson he said was pathological. now you have four months later endorsement for donald trump from ben carson. he called trump a very intellectual man who cares deeply about america. he called him cerebral as well. there was a moment that

ben carson gave the prognosis on his own presidential campaign.d all he could but in the end it couldn't be saved. >> and i'm hopeful that maybe some people now that i am leaving the campaign trail-- yeah. (laughter). >> trevor: its-- he condition even muster any energy when he's saying he's dropping out of the race. yeah. the guy sounds like he's deciding whether or not to have fries with his order. like, sir, do you want to make it a combo meal? yeah. are you sure, sir? you don't have to. >> yeah. >> trevor: he's like a human-- this is so fun. >> enough, enough. >> trevor: oh, it's roy wood, it's roy wood. (cheers and applause) is bhas' going on, man. >> what did i tell but ben carson, trevor? >> trevor: yeah, i know, roy. i know. that we shouldn't make fun of him because before he started acting crazy, his life was an inspiration to the black community. and he was our best shot at going black to black in the white house. >> yes. that's right. look. i know carson's presidential campaign was a joke but black people used to look up to him. on my 1

coalition from blue collars to evangelicals and ben carson, you guys know this better than i do, ben s that vote. mike lee is, he and ted cruz are friends but more of the same. so, i think, if you're chess playing here, you have to score a big one for donald getting ben carson. harris: all right. we saw some pushback from marco rubio just a few days ago when there was talk about people putting pressure on him to get out of the race. then this just happen ad few minutes ago. is he opening door for supporters to support john kasich in ohio? watch. >> if voter in ohio is motivated by stopping donald trump and comes to the conclusion that john kasich is only one who can beat them there, i expect that is the decision they will make. i can tell you in florida i'm only one can beat donald trump. whether someone supports ted cruz or john kasich, if you vote for them in florida you're in essence voting for donald trump. if voter reaches same conclusion in ohio, i think that is what they will do again. harris: kind of like encircling donald trump. sandra: that was all in effort to stop donald t

ben carson is an african american, which would allay any charges that he is a bigot. trump advertises himself as someone out of politics, ben carson is self made, the only problem is he didn't show a great knowledge of policy and the question is is he qualified to become president? >> bill schneider, always nice to hear your thoughts, thanks. >>> all right. >> hillary clinton cemented her status with seven victories but bernie sanders won four contests and not prepared to give up the fight. john terret from burlington, vermont. >> reporter: antonio good evening from burlington, vermont where the sanders campaign held a inference t nrches to news ces we're in it to win it. the plan is to win state by state, targeted states not all of them. there will be some losses but also some wins. the candidate in maine today, appealing to voters. >> next sunday i believe at 1:00, the caucuses will be held throughout maine we can win here, if there is a large voter turnout. please vote! thank you all very much! >> reporter: and that targeted state approach for example would be in f

look what he did with ben carson, who has endorsed me. a great guy. look what he did to ben carson. he said ben carson in iowa has left. he's out of the campaign, vote for me. thousands of people voted for him because he convinced people that ben carson had left the campaign. he knew ben carson didn't leave the campaign. >> well, it sounds like you're not backing down on that at all. tomorrow, you have a big speech. a big speech tomorrow. speaking to the american israel public affairs committee. in that speech, will you stand by your pledge to be neutral between israel and palestine so you can broker a peace deal? >> you'll hear what i'm going to say at the speech. i'll save it for that. there is nobody more pro israel than i am. you'll hear that. we'll see what happens. >> what kind of deal would be in israel's interest? >> i think making a deal would be in israel's interest. i'll tell you what. i don't know one jewish person that doesn't want to have a good deal, a proper deal, a very good deal. but i would say it's probably one of the toughest deals. me being a dealmaker, probabl

rough night here in georgia for ben carson and john kasich. tying at 6% of the georgia vote, well below the 20% threshold needed to score any delegates here in the peach state. heather and abby, back to you. >> marco rubio did finally win that state of minnesota. >>> we turn to virginia. trump took the win in a narrow victory over rubio. >> caroline shively is live for us in washington, d.c. with those results. good morning, caroline. >> reporter: good morning, heather and abby. donald trump beating out senator marco rubio with less than three points. rubio was counting on a win. 34.7% of the votes dpared to rubio's 31.9. cruz follows with almost 17 points, garnering eight delegates. kasich and carson were asterisks in some states. exit polls show trump got his support from evangelicals less educa educated. he also won slightly with men and voters over 45. rubio got the d.c. suburbs. trump won the rest of most of vergena. if he would have been able to eek things out it would have been his second state. back to you. >> thank you very much, caro

that didn't help ben carson. i would have one iowa if that didn't happen because it took votes away from me. he added a lot of votes to himself. but he lied about it. lou: you are doing pretty well despite that. to my question about a standard here, are you going to assert a standard because of the bringing in wives of candidates is so unseemly. >> i agree with you, i agree with you. i did, i wrote and said be careful because otherwise i'll have to start talking about your situation. now, do i like doing that? no. should that have been done by him? he absolutely knew about it. think it, he doesn't know this is sent and earmarked to a group in utah? he knew about it. lou: personally, i tell you, any super pac working for any candidate should be held, the candidate should be held accountable, and there is no question of the relationship of the people running this super pac, the money that they are receiving and from whom, so i think the responsibility is usually clear. >> lou, these people, just to finish it, these

you heard the word spiritually come out of ben carson's mouth. that's exact lip the message donald trump wants voters to hear, evangelical voters. voters in florida, he wants them to hear he is ok spiritually. when you sling as much mulled as he has over the course of this campaign, it's very tough to undo that. these are tweets he sent over the course of this campaign, ben carson said in his own book that he has a pathological torture, wanting to hit his mother on the head with a hammer, don't people get it, things like that are tough to come around. the fact that ben carson is coming into donald trump's corner is bad news for ted cruz. last night, donald trump tried to take control of the debate by not doing what he's done so much. >> unlike previous republican debates, characterized by personal attacks and discord, thursday's debate in miami featured an intense discussion of the economy, education and foreign policy. the first question of the night went to governor john kasich on whether his support of trade deals was undermining the middle cl

ben carson appears to be ending his campaign. he did not win any states on super tuesday issued a statement saying that he does not see a political path forward. he does not plan to attend tomorrow's gop debate. hillary clinton and donald trump racked up big victories. aside from ben carson their other rivals are vowing not to quick. steve hansalman joining us live from houston. we know anything can happen in politics but donald trump asking like a candidate destined to win the gop nomination. >> reporter: it looks that way to a lot of the people and it upsets a lot of people. ben carson was the republican front-runner but not a factor in months and john kaisch governor of ohio has not won a single race and now more than ever the republican front- runner is down to two rivals, from texas and florida. vote for myself. >> reporter: can marco rubio stop donald trump. he won a state last night, minnesota. and the early vote today two weeks before the florida him. >> it is my home and we will win florida. we feel great about it. >> bu

ben carson will be dropping out of the race. ben carson saying how he was going to stay in it. he was going to go for the long haul. he performed quite poorly. just last night, really no performance there. he is choosing to drop out. where do those votes now go? andrea is still here with me. >> i think a lot of them still do, trish. he is an outsider. he is a softer outsider than donald trump. a lot of evangelicals voted for donald trump. these are evangelical voters. if they have not gone to trump, they went to ben carson already. ted cruz or a donald trump. i do not take that he is a pathway. trish: you have mitt romney now that will say something tomorrow. he will come out and make some kind of news. blasting trump and trying to make this effort for the republicans to rally around someone else. why are they fighting this so hard right now? the american voter has spoken. >> they are so out of touch. they have not left the washington, d.c. beltway for a long time. they did the same thing to john mccain's campaign. they are blasting onto their own power and their own privilege.

ben carson's campaign this morning. tiffany wilson is in the newsroom with the tweet that igniteed all of buzz. >> yes, 45 minutes ago, marco rubio posted a tweet saying and i quote, "we will miss ben carson on the trail, he is a fantastic gentleman and i wish him the best." >> however, no one from the ben carson camp has officially announced ben carson is ending the campaign for president. instead, ben carson issued a statement saying he not participate in tonight's republican debate on fox news saying there is no political path forward. he did not win my state primary on super tuesday and ben carson said he will discuss his political future tomorrow during a speech. certainly gains some buzz but we all need to stay tuned. >> thank you. now, back to breaking news we have been following from livermore. >> a lost police activity with crime scene tape near the police station and a last questions about what happened. amy hollyfield is there now. amy? >> yes, people are starting to wake up if livermore. they wonder, what is

so that's the end of ben carson. might make it that little bit easier for the republican establishment to get behind one candidate, but there are of course, still four in the race all together, marco rubio is still there, ted cruz is still there and john kasich is also still in the race. anchor: donald trump's closest rival ted cruz has publicly appealed to the other candidates to throw in the towel and get behind him. nobody heeding that call so far? reporter: no, certainly not. everyone wants to stay in the race for as long as possible. the republican establishment called for somebody to drop out of the race, they are going toward john kasich because he is the one who is taking away a few percentage points from the likes of marco rubio or ted cruz. there is no way that the senator from florida, marco rubio, will be listening to ted cruz, his colleague in the senate because marco rubio still believes and indeed large parts of the republican establishment believe that he is the best opportunity that the republican pa

[clapping] >> i'm sorry. i just -- i don't understand. you're ben carson. you're so much better than this. stuart: dr. ben carson is with us as of right now. dr. carson. always a pleasure. welcome back to the program, sir. >> thank you, stuart,. stuart: isn't this how the left always tries to shut people up by saying that guy's a racist. if you support him, you're a racist be quiet. that's what happens. >> yeah. that tends to be their mode. and they don't want to hear anything that even resembles opposition of what they have to say. y

ben carson. re is a lot of residual anger toward ted cruz over what happened in iowa. ben carson and donald trump both have homes in palm beach. they have known each other a while. >> two points of comparison. they both have homes here in south florida. and ben carson thinks ted cruz stole the election from him in iowa. tw very different points of motivation. last night in the debate it was very different. you want to hear what matters, the policies. you got it with jake tapper all night long keeping a stepped hand. we got to talk to donald trump right after the debate. controversial reports about islam and violence at his events. here's what he had to say. >> i thought it was a very elegant debate. i thought it was very substantive. i thought your folks did a great job. i thought it was very fair. we needed this kind of debate. we needed this kind of tone. i'm glad it took place tonight. >> do you think it plays to your advantage? >> i think so. look, the other is the other. if somebody hits, you

but nice things to say about his favorite for america. >> now, following the big announcement, ben carson was asked whyot endorse ted cruz, carson said he feels donald trump the only candidate willing to do what it takes to break what he caca the special hold of special interest groups. we have much more on this, check out the nbc news and weather app. >>> and our team coverage continues for you this midday. nbc 6 reporter steve litz also in west palm beach where marco rubio is expected to speak in the next couple of minutes. >> reporting live tonight from temple bethel. this is an invited guest only events, the specific topic will conflict. there continues to be talk among leaders about donald trump's comments last night. he -- in light of terror attacks israel has sustained over the years, mr. trump and senator rubio went head-to-head on that issue last night. >> i think it would be much more helpful, i'm a negotiator, if i go in, i'll say i'm pro israel and i've told that to anybody that would listen, but i would like to have the other side think i'm somewhat neutral as to them so we c

the one from ben carson is a significant one. he once was the front runner for the republican party, he was in fact ahead of donald trump it changed a lot over the last few months with loopholes going down significantly for ben carson. it stillonald trump, gives him the possibility to be seen again on stage in florida with a former republican presidential candidate, as he did also with new jersey governor chris christie. this ties in with a new narrative that donald trump is using on the campaign trail and yesterday at the republican president told the day. republican party establishment believe, donald trump says he can't unite the republican party. can she can -- says he unite the republican party. most of the eldest say he is destroying the party. he says he can united. and like getting ben carson and the likes of chris christie, that is what he looks like. he will presumably use ben carson on the campaign trail with crucial primaries coming up, especially this tuesday. tom: we will be keeping a close eye on those primaries. l

ben carson to a pedophile. it's clear that ben carson is still bitter about iowa, even though the cruz campaign apologized. but it's interesting to see him endorse trump after what has been said about him. >> we'll get to that story about the campaign manager later in the show. charlie, ted cruz said something today about those backing donald trump that became a controversy, suggesting they're low information voters, just for those that don't pay attention, rush limbaugh uses that term a lot, usually talks about democrats that way. here is a little of what ted cruz said. listen. >> listen, donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. where we are beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed. when they inform themselves, they realize his record. he's what they're angry at. he is the corruption. >> your thoughts on that, charlie? >> comments like that are why so many in the republican part
