first, you just heard donald trum called you out, saying you lied. >> tell you, rather extraordinary. i think and i say this straight forwardly, i think you have a pathological liar right the. most of what h says is a distortion of facts. thousands of people in new jersey celebrating 9/11 the destruction of the twin towers, either that's true or or not true. from what i understand, lot of research, they archive what goes on tv. saying is going to be archived. nobody has seen a tape celebrating the destruction of twin towers in new jersey. it doesn't exist. he keeps claiming that. that's called pathologically lying. he accused me of lying. what i said last night he suggested that mexics who are coming to this country are criminals and rapists that's exactly what he said. is somebody like a donald trump is doing is playing on the fears and anxieties of the american people and people are afraid. they're afraid of terrorism, rightfully so. they're anxious about an economy that the middle class is disappearing. people are worried about the future for their kids. these are legitimate fears.

will he be impulsive and reckless, like donald trum will he have voted to dramatically weaken counter-terrorism surveillance, like ted cruz? will he have skipped crucial national security hearings and votes just to campaign, like marco rubio? 27 generals and admirals support jeb bush.. because jeb has the experience and knowledge to protect your family. right to rise usa is responsible hey. something new has arrived. and it works in the middle of anywhere. the new iphone 6s on u.s. cellular lets you stay connected where other networks don't.

that's second only to their worst case scenario that donald trum trump arrives. the notion of three or four or more candidates battling it out day after day on live television would be ratings bonanza for everyone. imagine the horror of it. i'm being sarcastic, democracy on live television. the latest new york times cbs poll released today shows trump climbing to 35% nationally. 35% among republicans. his closest competitor, ted cruz is 19 points back. ben carson comes in third now. followed by marco rubio at 9. in south carolina, this is the big story, a new fox news poll out today of republican primary voters shows trump ahead by -- he's at 35%. 20 points ahead. the polling was in the field when trump was calling for that ban on muslims coming into the country. it turns out that the call to keep the muslims out of country helped him with republican voters in south carolina. before he made that comment, trump was at 30%. in the two days following the comment saying so more muslims in the country, trump rose to 38%. they liked it down there. there's a brand new p

[ laughter ] 'cause you know why? because we have the same baby nurse. >> jimmy: what? >> the thing where like when you first have a baby and the lady comes and helps you take care of it, we had the same baby nurse. so all i was thinking was like, "i can't get in a feud with donald trump because the baby nurse would be mad at me." so like -- i had to be like, hi -- and meanwhile -- >> jimmy: why does your voice change like that? when you meet down here -- >> when i'm the hypocrite. so nice to see you.

donald trump is back in mu hampshire tonight. he is beak peak picking up a key endorsement. plenty of cheers in side. it was different story outside. trum is not backing down on the call to ban mus almosts from entering country. our phil lipof is live in portsmouth, new hampshire, phil? ed: radio was donald trump's i spoke to the head about 15 minutes ago. he told me said trump needed to come here to mu hampshire to earn that endorsement. country. >> a special quick trip to new hampshire land endorse. >> our candidate for the next president of the united states donald jay trum am. >> not the usual huge crowd, but pint maintain smaller gathering of police, although didn't speak of it directly, trump did make ref trence the call for a tem ry! on muslims come though united states. >> when i talked about what i said the other day, and all of the sudden, aim watching the shows this morning. i am watching the shows tonight and you mo, trump has a point. >> a plan not popular with many in the own party. phil: and those outside holding up soons but not holding back their disgust about the comments. >> they are everything. i don't know any other

donald trum donald donald tru donald trump's statements go against everything we believe in. >> thishetoric echoes the policies enacted by nazi germany against the jews. have we learned anything from american history, mr. donald trump? >> he's tracking all of the responses from -- we just saw a very strong reaction all across the board. did you see a level of -- >> isles very high, in south carolina, iowa and new hampshire. iowa votes first then new hampshire. and donald trump is going to have a lot to say i those three states pride themselves on making the right choice and separating fact from fiction, real contenders from pretenders, they have a very big job to do now because this is a very serious issue, donald trump is not talking about immigration. donald trump is talking about american muslim immigration. when we checked with the campaign yesterday, lots of reporters did. they said all muslims can not come back to the united states. trump has since made allowances for muslims who have -- or american muslim citizens who will tourists. but the implication is that is that his gove

he's losing to donald trum np new hampshire by 22 points, which is better than the 33 points by which he is nozing nationally to donald trump. but still. it may seem crazy but it appears now to be almost inarguably true that as national security and terrorism concerns increase in the united states and among the electorate in terms of things they say are most important to them, so does the prospect that donald trump really is going to be nominated as the presidential nominee for the republican party. and let me make one last point about the crazy aspects of this. one of the crazier things, one of the most seemingly insane things that has happened in the aftermath of the san bernardino attack is the conspiratorial raving by this kind of wingnut lawyer who syed farook's family has apparently hired to represent them in the aftermooth of syed farook and his wife carrying out this attack in southern california. as part of i guess explaining or trying to explain away the san bernardino attack this lawyer in southern california has suggested to the press that maybe the san bernardino attack d

. >> so how should republicans who disagree with donald trum -- what should they do, peggy? is this a problem that needs to be handled? >> you know, i think it's delicate in a few ways. i know republican leaders and two things. one is that they cannot win the presidency with donald trump. the other is that they cannot win the presidency without the support of trump's followers. so it's a delicate little thing. you oppose trump seriously and with respect along the way when you disagree with him, but i don't think it would be very smart for them to do what they were talking about a few weeks ago, which is let's raise a lot of money and attack this guy and slam him. the voters will figure it out. >> the argument has been made that you can't win without trump's supporters. what about the counter-argument that you can't win without those who are non-trump republicans and those who want to be republicans but may not espouse those kinds of beliefs or values or rhetoric? >> this is what primaries are for. donald trump is like 32%, 35%. that means there is 65% of the as this thing go

but they are both part of the same camp, which is i am not donald trump trum donald trump camp. that's where they need to draw the distinction to be the premier not trump. >> okay, okay, the i'm not trump candidate. that's a good one. here are live pictures of senator cruz in his yellow plaid there in las vegas talking to a crowd. so while we have you, i want to get to other political headlines out today. donald trump was on jimmy kimmel last night. this is what he said about his role in the race. >> i would like to e see the republican party come together. i have been a little divisive in the sense that i have been hitting people pretty hard. >> a little bit, yeah. >> and ultimately, we have to come together and get this thing done. i'm having a great time. >> come together out of mr. trump, what do you read there? >> it's a new theme song for his rallies. i was at his rally on monday night and it was we're not going to take it. now it's come together. he's not a come together candidate. he's more than a little divisive. we played the sound from vladimir putin on trump. final q

basically, what we have is a real close race, a jumble behind donald trum much. nk noteworthy last night for all those looking for a serious commander in chief who isn't donald trump, they see it's jeb bush. marco rubio, chris christie, basically in a jumble, none of them had the courage to stand up to him last night. i think that will play well for us in the weeks ahead. >> we'll see how the jumble breaks out in the first couple of states. tim miller, thank you. >> thanks, brooke. >>> we're going to go to donald trump, speaking in mesa, arizona, first time he's spoken since last night. >> i was doing great, i've been number one, by the way, since i went, they're all talking about it. in the history of politics they say this isn't me, it's those people who i don't trust worth a -- but you know i go through this all the time and i always say, although today i think the fact that i did bill o'reilly in that corner but they had no choice but to follow. but they never show the crowd size. you know that. i go home. my wife says, did you have many people? because they j

i mean, helle dona, donald trum organizing on the ground everywhere. >> if he's doing similar things like rubio on the articles and lack of the organization is pointing to the way he could lose and the -- you guys talked about it, the polling. he's organizing in all these key places. >> what's shocking to me, when i look at whose going to win, the first thing i do is look at organization. the new york times has had marco number one in their one, two, three, four, five, whose going to win the republican nomination? i would take a bad candidate who can't speak that may have a little less money and base victories on organization on the ground and yet marco in story after story after story has a very weak organization and now it's finally bubbling up and the new york times says he's a favorite to win it all. >> if you look at the betting markets around the world, marco is the favorite. >> why is that? >> i think there's a presumption that despite all the turmoil we've seen in the republican party there will still be an establishment front runner and the party does what it does. in the en

like trump talking about muslims, a lot of commentators >> our analysis says oh, that will hurt donald trum. and instead quite the opposite. i want to look ahead to saturdays debate with ththe demoats. >> abc news debate. >> y, the abc news debate what can we expect? >> i think that really hillary clinton is going to want to look like the front-runner nationally that she is and to position herself toward the general election. but of course there is still that primary beforehand. in new hampshire, wourhere our debate-s bernie sanders is leading there. and in iowa the first caulkis state hillary clinton is leading but he is only behind by about 10 points or so. >> does he have a route? does h actually have a realistic and credible route, bernie sanders, to the democratic nomination? >> i think at this point it's hillary clinton. but we can't ignore those polls, espeally in new hampshire, which is the first primary statete where he's leading. our thanks to shushannah walshe. next up, "the skinny." happy birthday! music music thank you dear, very much music you're welcome musi thank you you mak
