dr. ben carson. i'm glad you're able to share us your personal story and experience on the damage addiction can cause to a family and thank you for taking time and staying. eddie: i want to clarify. i'm not a former state senator. i ran and lost. i wish i were a former state senator and won. it was my first election, 2014. it's a pleasure to be here on behalf of dr. ben carson. but i am also a former police chief. i was a local police chief and was in charge of the state liquor enforcement division for the state. as you know new hampshire does a very good job selling alcohol. it's all over our highways. in fact, we're the only state that has liquor stores on the highways. so my focus, along with dr. ben carson, is several. i've had personal addiction in my family. so from a personal standpoint and from a professional standpoint, i've seen this my entire adult life and childhood. my father died from crack cocaine when i was a young man growing up in atlanta, georgia. my father was a marijuana dealer.

dr. carson: the fact is, we are all people of faith. john: and dr. ben carson shared his faith with the audience. dr. carson: and then at that point, i said, you know what? it is not me. it is god. hands. john: there was a coalition in spartanburg, with over 2500 people listening as carson also talked about those who are dragging the campaign down without naming names. dr. carson: i would say if the shoe fits, wear it. and it could be a comment about a multitude of people, quite frankly. john: senator tim scott was writing a high road of another sort. his candidates, marco rubio, picked up the endorsement of governor nikki haley. >> he seemed to be pleased, no doubt. she is a big fish in this gigantic pond. john: maybe not such good news for ted cruz, running a distant second to donald trump and now having to keep an eye on marco rubio as he continues to showcase his conservative credentials. mr. cruz: and if you want a unapologetically, unshakable he for marriage and for life and who has a proven record of doing so, i am the only person who has the only

dr. ben carson may not have finished as well as he wanted but they're not disillusioned. the next republican primary is only ten days away. joining us from the palmetto state, 2016 republican presidential candidate dr. ben carson. sir, how are you? >> doing well, sean. thank you. >> you had a respectable double digit finish in iowa. last night didn't go the way you wanted. do you see for yourself a path where you believe you can win the nomination? >> absolutely. you know, i still have millions of supporters. on facebook. we have a lot of people who continue to make donations and they're saying, please, please, please, please don't drop out. please stay in because your strong states are coming up. and i believe that to be the case. i believe you will see a significant improvement right here in south carolina. and that the more times we have an opportunity to get in front of audiences and actually explain what our policies are, it makes a huge difference. >> okay. there is some that have questioned your decision after iowa. it's not just about going back to florida and chan

dr. ben carson, a very good dr. n carson, a very good person, he left 4 i think that's something that is really very serious. now, i know the one situation is now being investigated by authorities in iowa, the voter violation form. that's being under serious investigation. i think they should probably throw him out of iowa because i don't think what -- what he did is a disgrace. it's a disgrace to the electoral process to be honest with you, greta. >> is your strategy in new hampshire any different from your strategy in iowa? >> well, it's similar in the sense that we have tremendous meetings. i like to have small meetings but we have thousands of people show up. we have tremendous turnout. you saw that last night. it was amazing. every time i go -- tomorrow as an example i have four or five different events. they're all pretty large events because a lot of people want to come. we had something a week ago where we had thousands of people and other candidates were there a day or two before. and they had like 44 people

dr. ben carson a bigger slice of the evangelicals? >> i think there was a moment a couple months ago when focused turned to terrorism and carson couldn't really articulate the foreign policy vision that a lot of people in the evangelical community care about foreign affairs and particularly israel. i think he faded at that point and just has never really found his footing again. >> if trump doesn't win tomorrow night? >> there's nothing he hates more than losers. it changes the trajectory of the race. >> the people of iowa -- when he gets mad. >> he's going to leave really fast. >> he's going to be so mad. any sort of real surprise, like carly fiorina, or even governor kasich, or governor christie? >> i'm sort of interested in rubio. on the ground, you feel some momentum there. the poll doesn't show him with a huge bounce, but is there a chance to cut into cruz and emerge going into new hampshire as the establishment favorite? >> i just think eight years ago, it was senator barack obama, democratic senator, john edwards and hillary cli
