cruz recalled her skills and compassion. cruz's twin sister says the loss is tremendous. >> they were all amazing people in their own right. the world is going to be a lot emptier without them. >> this man, 30-year-old martin martinez of san jose is under arrest as a suspect in the five killings that happened back on july 18 inside cruz' home. the other two victims were his mother and a girl believed to be his niece. martinez has also been charged in a separate death, that of a 2-year-old son of dr. cruz who died last fall of injuries stemming from alleged abuse. >>> an eagle nursed back to health and recently returned to the wild was fatally injured by a wind turbine. the san ramon valley fire department and the lindsey wildlife rehab hospital released this golden eagle back to the wild on may 1. well, the 3-year-old bird was nursed back to health after it was found with severe head injuries. officials followed the female eagle with a gps tracker, but the contra costa times reports that she clipped a wind turbine at altamon

michael: for ted cruz, ted cruz, his whole campaign plan, before trump arrived on the scene, was ofcapture the same sort anti-establishment anger trump is capturing so from the saidning, cruz has not anything negative about trump, outrageoushis most statements, cruz will say, i think it's great donald trump is in the race. tocruz wants to get close trump on the bet that as we get closer to an election, voters will start thinking about who the oval office, not just who they want to tell pollsters they're happy about now and some of that support will go to cruz. for trump, he's trying hard to something he's never shown before which is he can handle the statesman job. he's not a statesman. he's a celebrity, he's a real a greatagnate, he's performer on tv, he's a reality television character but he's out white papers even though they're thread bare his plans.etail and he's been trying to moderate some of his corners. think he's happy to be standing next to a senator on capitol. carol: you were talking about the other candidates having to wait this out. how long do you think they'll have to do

cruz said he had no idea that woman was paige. the exchange though a part of the fire works on the campaign trail today. as we look, it's over immigration and two words in specific. reporter: donald trump gears up for what he expects to be the biggest rally ever. tonight in the mobile 40,000-seat football stadium his competitors are divided over turn immigration proposal s the the billionaire brought front and center. >> the immigration policies are not conservative either. it will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. reporter: the former front runner jeb bush going after trump for the penals to end birthright citizenship. but at the iowa state fair, ted cruz has only compliments for trump. >> the fact that donald trump is in the race is great. more eyeballs, more people are paying attention. reporter: cruz supports the call to end guarantee of citizenship if born in the u.s. the proposal leaving to another divide over the use of language in the immigration debate that could alienate hispanic voters. >> i'll use the word anchor b

he says he would. >> i'm not playing the game. >> what would a president cruz do? american citizen children of two illegal immigrants who are born here, do they get deported under a president cruz? >> megyn, i guess that is also the question every mainstream liberal journalist wants to ask. >> is it an unfair question? >> it is a distraction from how we solve the problem. it is also the question barack obama wants to focus on. >> why is it so hard? >> because we need to solve the problem. and the way to solve the problem is you focus where there is bipartisan agreement first. once we secure the border and have proven we can do this, once we stop the obama administration's policy of releasing 104,000 violent criminal aliens in one year, once we solve that problem then we can have a debate and conversation. >> i want to ask you because you had an important conference call that was very well supported and attended by pastors. 100,000 pastors. do i have my facts wrong? you had 100,000 people on a conference call? >> we had a conference call with over 100,000 pastors th

will cruz go after him on that? >> i think cruz will not go after him on that. he wants this bloc. i'm not sure the trump bloc is transferrable, though. that's kind of a unique stock and trade there. but the reality is, most republican elders, aren't people on either side say look trump will ultimately crumble by a lack of substance. so, you know, i think that interview was the next phase of this candidacy. bit by bit he's going to have to be in line with party principles. on immigration he simply isn't. >> i do think on immigration if the candidates are pushed by a moderator or by each other they're going to have to distance themselves from what trump said. even being close to where jeb bush is, it's where barack obama is on immigration and it not only gives people legal status, pushes them to the front of the line, but uses millions of dollars and a ton of law enforcement resources, it's just not a tenable position in the republican party. >> and not just immigration when he was asked about obamacare, i think his line was, repeal and replace with something terrific. what is the t

senator ted cruz.hallelujah >> praise god. >> you did good. , what incredible, powerful moving testimony. it is my hope that every man and woman in iowa and that every man and woman across this country listens to those stories. listen to those stories, understand these threats are not imagined. they're not made up. these are real people leading real lives who found themselves facing persecution. simply for living out their faith. ere is a war on faith in america today. in our lifetime, did we ever imagine that in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we would be witnessing our government persecute its citizens for their faith? we are blessed today to be in the presence of heroes who serve as an example to all of us of what it means to sacrifice for the kingdom. heroes who have suffered for living out their faith and their personal conviction. their stories are real and they're personal. , betty and n iowa dick forced to close down their wedding chapel because of their beliefs in the scriptura

ted cruz will prosecute and defund planned parenthood. join the rally for religious liberty. >> i'm ted cruz and i approve this message. john: is ted cruz in the top-tier candidate question mark and if not, -- in the top tier of candidates? and if not? -- and if not, what will you have to do to get there? mark: he has done well in three of the four states. what i thinks puts in close to the top-tier is he is one of the few candidates who has plausible victories in three of the early states and the long-term plan. trip positionsus him as someone who understands the short-term menton game in the long-term delegate game. hebecause of the fundraising is certainly in the top-tier is a fundraiser and that is super important. i do think this question of how these multiple supertex are going to court and it campaign and how effectively the money it will get spent is a huge question and there are the underlying dynamics. >> coming up next, roger stone. >> our guest tonight is mr. roger stone who has recently left working regularly with the campaig
