more on the storm coverage but first, i want to talk about the conservative movement against donald trump, hughecoming a regular date on friday night, hugh. let's talk, shall we? >> i was watching your storm coverage right now. i think i saw a white walker from "games of throne". >> we call this storm spring. >> that's easy for you to say in a studio with temperatures in the 70s or 80s. >> all four of my grandparents could scoff at this. good to be here, don. >> good to have you. >> i know you like to say you're in switzerland and all this but what's your reaction to conservati conservative, did you hear -- he said donald trump would be a disastrous president and that's why he signed on to do this. >> well, general mckay see had a great op ed today. i was glad to see him on your show tonight. there are lots of people in the national review issue. i'm not one -- i am the switzerland of radio shows. all gop candidates are invited on but there are very unusual pairings in there, a lot of people endorsed a lot of different people. they all came together with a -- i think a first ever magazine issue

hugh: i didn't mean to. donaldrump and ted cruz are fighting it out for the outside washington, break the windows campaign. i heard it ted cruz at today that was paid for via super pac that was brilliant in which he raises his voice about washington but in the other lane is eight lane that is serious about it world that has gone to hell. this is why republicans are panicked. i think hillary clinton might be indicted. she blew the iraq forces agreement, she was eight disaster on syria and libya. she is tired and weary and not very good. we can win. for all the republicans who just want to win -- we have four supreme court justices -- ruth gator ginsburg is 83 degrees. -- is 83 years old. stephen buyer will be 78 years old. the next president gets to make the supreme court. so if you are republican you just want to win. the only person with higher unfavorables than hillary clinton is donald trump. he scares a lot of people but he says he can turn around and make the negative and positive. charlie: ted cruz seems to s

couple weeks ago when she was very out front saying that donald trump is just wrong to call for a temporary ban on muslims coming into the u.s. >> hugh, listen, and donald trump is not the only person who is attacking her. ann coulter was on the radio program today. ann coulter tweeted that donald trump should deport her. can the republican party unite at this point over this? >> of course, ann is a wonderful guest and like donald trump is a terrific interview. and laura ingram is a smart and accomplished host but it's they are in the middle of a primary campaign and laura and ann support donald trump. i would not be surprised if donald extended an olive branch to nikki haley now. he is leading in new hampshire and south carolina, statistical dead heat in iowa. the smart politics is to put this behind you and get rid of the issue of ted cruz's eligibility. if you get mark eleven, andy mccarthy and every over conservative collar out there that ted cruz is an eligible candidate. they ought to be fighting about which direction is country is going on. >> but on that point, i think what's important to remember is that, you know, maybe the

hugh you think that governor haley didn't mean to pick a fight with donald trump. she said donald trump was part of the intention. >> i know what she told you this morning and said the same on the "today" show. i was in the virtual booth and heard an amazing speech by an amazing governor and the thing i focused on was the passage on mother emanuel shurge and in june the people in south carolina decided not to react with rage. i was surprised to find out that the aftereffects of that speech was somehow hailey not online with trump and i'll be interested whether you and dana had the same reaction that i did. i focused on -- >> you don't think -- if it's coming out of her mouth and she

. >> donald trump is hugh hefner of the '90s. >> for an older person, he's very attractive. >> he wasin public with marla maples, but he was not ready to tie the knot. >> so, when is the big day? >> it's, truthfully, one of those things we've planned probably a dozen times, and we're very much committed to each other. there's just a little fear, i think it's more on donald's part now. >> in october of 1993, they had a baby girl, tiffany trump, and two months later, marla maples became mrs. donald trump. over the next few years, the real estate market rebounded and donald trump was back on top, valued at $450 million on the forbes' wealthiest americans list. but trump said it was more than like $2 billion. >> donald is one of the few people, and i think the researchers at "forbes" have always said this, who personally lobbies them to not only be included on the list, but to constantly push himself upward in the ranks. >> what people think of donald trump is important to him. he may or may not admit it, but it's important to him. all of this, poll numbers, "forbes" lists, you name it. h

let's bring in cnn political commentator and host of cnn's "smerconish," michael smerconish, hugh hewitt and donaldey lord. hugh, i want to get your take on the debate. after the debate you tweeted out #open convention. does that mean you think there were that many winners? >> yes, it does, exactly, alisyn. donald trump and marco rubio took the gold last night, winning their respective fights. ted cruz and chris christie were not far behind them and jeb bush is hanging in there. i will say, though, donald trump crushed it on new york values but ted cruz crashed it on eligibility. marco rubio got on base every time if i can mix metaphors and chris christie had solid at-bats as well. i go back to the analogy i've used all along, joe frazier/muhammad ali, fought three big fights in the '70s, frazier won the first, ali won the second and the third and were both punched out in the end. they have iowa, new hampshire and south carolina ahead. greatest race of my lifetime, donald trump won his race, marco rubio won his. >> all right. michael, do you agree with that assessment? what were your takeaways. >>

donald trump, 28%. ted cruz, 23%. marco rubio, 15%. ben carson, 10%. hughz said, closed doors but wouldn't support his own punditry when i asked him about it, if donald trump wins here, is he unstoppable? >> no. i don't think anyone's going to get over 30%. so i don't think this race is actually going to move new hampshire much. i don't see the carson number staying at 10%. i see a lot of flexibility. i noted that marco rubio about three half hours this weekend, ted is rushing to the end. donald trump is staying here 24/7. wide open but i don't see anyone getting 30%. >> okay. can i ask you, do you think the ted cruz ground game can get him over the hump and have him win? is that possible? >> it is possible. will it happen? we don't know. really that is the gigantic question that is above both the democratic and republican caucus here on monday. will celebrity stardom, will authenticity, will persona trump, you know, the classic organizations? we've got hillary clinton and ted cruz who have classic on-the-ground organizations in iowa. we have got, you know,

meanwhile, hugh heweitt talks about this epic battle right now. donna brazile, you see donald trump at the top of these polls especially in new hampshire holding so strong. >> i mean, no one is a bigger birther than donald trump. i mean, he did it with president obama and now he's doing it to ted cruz and it put ted cruz in a very awkward position as somebody who once pedaled that kind of hysteria, as well. i mean, he's running as a son of an immigrant, a proud one, an american success story and he's running as a fierce opponent of immigration reform. so here you have now ted cruz trying to prove that his mother certificate from delaware. it's ironic. i'm not going to get into -- i'm not going to mess with the republican primary. let them fight it out, but i do think he's qualified. that doesn't mean that i believe he would make a good president. >> are you going to mess with the republican primary? >> i'm happy to see donald trump go after cruz on this issue because to donna's point they did it so -- >> even though there's nothing to it? >> they did it so -- there's nothing t
