ted cruz efforts squelched. the rift between mcconnell and ted cruz widens.ou talk about ted cruz being disputed by mitch mcconnell's office, but it has he been directly responded to in kind? guest: it yesterday, when mcconnell spoke, there was a subtle reference to ted cruz. he did not call ted cruz out by name, but he said there was no special deal that has been discussed all along. we tried to ask them a question in the halls on friday after ted cruz accused him of lying, and mitch mcconnell just smiled and walked away. he does not address the press until tuesday. he will certainly be asked then. probably similar to what he said yesterday. certainly, he will probably say there's nothing i backtracked on. it is a complicated procedural dispute. it happened behind closed doors so there is no transcript of the remarks of what mcconnell promised ted cruz and the rest. it may end up just being a game of he said, she said. host: in the leadership of the republican ranks, it includes senator john cornyn, ted cruz's colleague from texas. who was seen on the voice

cruz won the fight. he did a lot of damage to the other person. >> banged his head against the bed frames and stuck my hands in this mouth and tried to rip his [ bleep ] mouth off. he ended up bleeding bad. then the police came up and they wouldn't come in the unit except that one lieutenant. >> he threatened to take out half our staff. he said, i could bring 20 people in there and 10 of them were going to the hospital. my boss just let me keep continuing to talk to him until we got him settled down. >> he didn't even have to ask me. i have to go to the hole, right? he's like, you got to go to the hole, okay, but no handcuffs. >> i basically wound up taking him down to the hole by myself, and we had an open rapport and communication since then. >> you're the one mother [ bleep ] i will bow down before. >> now that he's gotten older, he doesn't do that quite like he used to. now he uses his ability to talk and his stature to make a presence in the facility. >> cruz says he is a proud member of the jail's

>> ted cruz called me. and i don't know why i'm meeting him, to be honest. >> donald trump appearing on msnbc this morning saying that ted cruz called him and asked him for, asked donald trump for a meeting. donald trump said yes. he's taking that meeting but he has no idea what it is about. >> i like him. he called me. he wanted to meet and we are going on meet. what it is about, i have absolutely no idea. >> i know. i know what it is about. i know what it is about. it was leaked to the press before it happened today. are you familiar with the concept of drafting? like drafting behind something? it is a very dangerous thing to do. both on the highway behind a big truck or behind your fellow bike racers in the tour de france. it is dangerous but people do it any way. drafting is getting behind somebody who is doing better than you and hoping they will sweep you along in their wake. under the fox news criteria of who is allowed to compete for the nomination, donald trump is doing great. he is definitely, def

the first thing you need to know about ted cruz's assault on mitch mcconnell is it's not about ted cruz and mitch mcconnell. it's about ted cruz and donald trump. he entered the race as the renegade hero the man who would call out his party's leadership. serious money early on but it never really took off. then along comes donald trump. he did it while attacking his fellow republicans with abandon. when trump was attacked cruz refused to criticize trump. he said it is because thou shall not speak ill of any fellow republican. scripture teaches that if someone visits evil upon you, you should repay them in kindness end quote. that's from first peter, chapter 3. ted cruz called mitch mcconnell a liar. it may have shown cruz to be an obvious hypocrite, but for one day he trumped trump and that means mission accomplished. >> a lot of people glaze over when you talk about the nuance and the mechanism of passing bills and amendments all kinds of things on capitol hill. but what cruz and trump have tapped into is palpable. it's visceral. this anger about washington. >> it is indeed and it is e

senator cruz: i think there is a'ssenator cruz: --senator cruz: i think there is a situation where a will have to take military force. under no circumstances should we allow iran to acquire nuclear weapons, and the reason is simple. there are read by a -- they are led by a theocratic cleric, the ayatollah kemeny -- khomeni, and he wants to to get israel, he refers to israel as the little satan and refers to united states is the big satan. i believe in peace through strength. you know, it is worth remembering that after eight years in office, the biggest country that reagan ever invaded was grenada. that when you have a credible commander in chief the need to use military strength drops dramatically. i don't think it was accidental. one of the things that i talk about in the book "a time for truth" is that iran released our hostages in 1981 the day that reagan was sworn in. that is the difference that a new commander in chief makes. al: ronald reagan is your model and you talk about him a lot in your book, and on national security in general, you believe that obama is too soft. on for

our thanks to senator cruz. new abc news poll puts donald trump on top nationally at 24% scott walker with 13%, jeb bush with 12%. we will be back with martin o'malley. ♪ mark: now my conversation in cedar rapids on friday night with maryland former governor martin o'malley. we started off talking about his parents and grandparents. governor o'malley: my mom's dad was a poor leader on the north side in pittsburgh in a neighborhood called manchester during the years of davey lawrence as governor. they met in washington, splicing together a young democrats newsletter. mark: were they very liberal democrats, more moderate, or what were their politics? governor o'malley: my dad and mom were both catholic, both very progressive in terms of social justice, what we would today call social justice. in their day, they called it common sense economics. my dad went to college only because of the g.i. bill. those were my parents. i guess it was in college, with ronald reagan -- i worked for gary hart from colorado. i travel

senator cruz: i do.it comes to getting isis, what is most important as a commander-in-chief is laying out a clear objective, and that is we will destroy isis. isis has declared war on us and they are crucifying christians they are beheading journalists they are lighting people on fire. once the commander-in-chief sets off that goal that we are not going to degrade, we are not going to weaken them, we are not going to destroy them, then you have to rely on the judgment of our military commanders who have the tools to do what is necessary. i think a necessary tool that we should employ is overwhelming airpower. right now, we are engaged in what i call photo op foreign policy. we drop a bomb here and the rules of engagement are so strict that right now, from isis's perspective, they are winning. the second key thing that we ought to do is arm the kurds. the kurds are our boots on the ground. they are our allies and the obama administration refuses to arm them because rather than focus on the national securi

amanda cruz from a previous marriage. police say cruz one of the five victims killed saturday was now in a relationship with martinez. with all due respect, did the police department drop the ball on this one? mr. martinez was a suspect in the 2-year-old's death, and for nine months he was allowed to still have continued contact with this family and these children. could all of these individuals' deaths have been prevented? >> the police department did not drop the ball on this. at that time there was no indication that there would be any violence within that family. there had been no calls for service at that location. >> reporter: the chief said child protective services was involved and martinez wasn't living in the house the last two months. today we learned mother about the victims 38-year-old amanda cruz a 6-year-old daughter named elizabeth from cruz's prior marriage, 6-month-old rachel dr. cruz's daughter with martinez martinez's own mother 57-year-old anna brown romero and 5-year-old relative. outside the ex-husb

this isn't about cruz and mcconnell. this is about cruz and trump.mp has blown past cruz as the candidate of the alienated right. trump has blown past everybody. and he has left cruz. he has sucked up all the air in the room as far as cruz is concerned. cruz was only too happy to get up on the senate floor and attack mcconnell who is hated by the hard right and try to gain a little ground there that's my view of it. i think it's more about presidential politics than anything else. << interesting. cruz is trying to get his constituency back. >> right. >> he became a real hero to the disaffected right because remember the shutting down of the government and that whole fight. >> obamacare. >> obamacare and the rest of it that really volted cruz and cruz is a smarted guy. is he a very add voyeur -- advocate and good speaker his campaign kind of faded. along comes the trump express and blows by not only him but everybody else. >> he got hurt the worst. >> he and rand paul were the worst hurt. absolutely. >> brit hume, everybody. here are the results of ou

cruz. he's not here yet. you're going to have an opportunity to do that in about 90 seconds. he's coming on. let me ask you first -- by the way, if anyone has not filled out those forms, i've got three or four staffers. there is a booth upstairs where you can get them. just reach out to me and i'm happy to get that to you if you want to participate in the focus group. are these the questions you want asks -- yes or no?

senator cruz: i am sure i do, and indeed, my standard response -- >> you have the whole -- senator cruz press corps here and what they will observe is that when others attack me, and for whatever reason that has happened once or twice, my response consistently is to respond with praise, to take the high road. that is how i intend to approach the next 18 months, not to impugn anyone's character. [applause] senator cruz: but i do want to make something clear. it is very different to say you will not engage in personal attacks and to say that you will not differ on policy. i think we have an obligation to speak the truth. [applause] senator cruz: i think it is the bread and butter of politics and should be the heart of a political debate. where i differ with other candidates on amnesty, common core, religious liberty, i will endeavor to tell the truth about my beliefs, my record and their record, and have the election be on substance, not on personal vitriol and attacks. >> by the way, when he says "candidates," he means leaders. we are going to go with microphone three. >> a question for

think about why cruz is doing this, too.where his money is coming from for his presidential campaign. it is coming from these grassroots groups sending out e-mails saying ted cruz is our guy in the senate who are voting for a series of pet causes. and the xm bank has been one of these things. so i think to a certain extent this is about mitch mcconnell. but i think this is a little bit about ted cruz needing to protect his own right flank. >> and the koch brothers who are against the xm bank. we forgot there's a whole koch primary, which is another sign of how degraded everything has gotten, that these candidates are competing with each other on who can do the bidding of the billionaires better. >> to go back to the senate and the way mcconnell's running it, i was encouraged when he made statements about how he hoped to run the senate, and all those statements are aspirational. if you say i'm going to try to assure that the minority and majority get to offer more amendments, and then you, you find yourself incapable of doing

why is cruz meeting with trump? earlier today cruz answered that question. >> i'll say this. i think donald trump is bringing a bold, brash voice to this presidential race. indeed many of the politicians who are running out of their way to smack donald trump have for years or even decades been vocal advocates of amnesty. these are critical issues and they're issues i've been fighting for a lot of years. in 2013 alone, the obama administration released 36,000 illegal aliens who had criminal convictions, including 116 murderers. one question anyone should ask president obama or especially hillary clinton, does hillary clinton think it is appropriate for the federal government to release 116 murderers who are illegal aliens? i don't. does hillary clinton think it's appropriate that in 2013 the obama administration released over 15,000 illegal aliens who had drunk driving convictions. my girls are 7 and 4, they're on the road every day to school. the idea that this administration is releasing over 15,000 people with drunk driving convictions who are here illegally, that doesn't m
