governor kasich: hold on, major. or bush: south carolinians want to elect the most conservative governor our candidate who can win. governor kasich: i've got to correct the record. the fact of the matter is, we went from an $8 billion hole to a $2 billion surplus, our credit is rock solid, and i don't know -- the people of this country and the state went to see everybody rise and they want to see unity and i do not want to get into all of this fighting tonight. the negative campaigning, i'm going to stay positive about what i want to do. from this perspective of economic growth, you have proposed a tax on hedge fund managers. the americans for tax reform has said no republican should be for higher taxes on capital gains and many conservatives wonder if this proposal would undermine not only that philosophy but under current -- undercut your projection of economic growth under your presidency? governor bush: of course not. it will not have an impact on hedge fund managers -- not just hedge fund people, but people in th

governor kasich is doing well. he finished second after donald trump after he decided to move on from iowa to focus on the granite state. even though donald trump one the night, he feels like momentum is on his side. they have 10 days to win over voters in south carolina . the primary is february 20. bernie sanders was the clear winner over hillary clinton. latest. custody in blue ash after burglary, chase, officers arrived at the home just in time to see them fleeing the scene. the suspects were arrested after a chase. sam' s was accused of assaulting the officer and k-9 officer. both are ok. they will be in court at 9:00 this morning. lisa: extra security at middletown high school after a containing racial slurs and they figured out who the student is, and the 15-year-old is being held at a juvenile detention center on a felony charge of inducing panic. mark: andrew setters is live with one of the services set to get underway this morning. andrew: they are ringing the bells at st. peter in chains cathedral, letti

and governor kasich is going on this political contest as well. these super tuesday states, you know, while they are just not my kind of state. they're not all in the south. you've got massachusetts, virginia, you know, in the deep south at least. you've got vermont for heaven stakes. bernie sanders home state. so seeing that that's not a relative moderate republicans' type of state, it is a tough argument to make i think. >> public affairs editor for the dispatch. you write that governor kasich's objective is to whittle the field so he can get a clear shot at donald trump. what are the latest polls telling you? >> caller: yeah. we just had a fresh poll out today. right now he is running second to mr. trump. only a five-point gap. but second is still second. and as you know march 15th starts winner take all contest. so there's no points for a close second. winners gets all of ohio's delegates and you know the same with i think the other states voting that day. so the significance really goes up. and of course if john kasich can't win ohio, it is t

kasich has paid off. lisa: here are the votes from dixville notch, and ohio governor john kasich is starting out with some momentum. kasich defeated donald trump 3 votes to 2. bernie sanders shut out hillary clinton 4 to 0. looking at the two other towns which voted at midnight, kasich and sanders were also winners in hart's location. in millsfield, it was clinton and cruz on top. mark: former new york city mayor michael bloomberg is getting more serious about his race for the white house. he is considering his options. the media mogul is listening to what the voters are doing. you can find out more "commitment 2016" coverage under politics on the wlwt app , and find out where the candidates stand on issues on the left-hand side of the wlwt.com homepage. lisa: let' s check traffic. kyla: you can see areas of yellow with a little bitter bread on 71-75 of the 275 loop. -- a little bit of on the 275 loop. an accident has taken out the left lane, and it looks like more emergency vehicles are arriving. it is slowing traffic significantly. 25-minutes out of butler county on southbound 75. when you get past the

. >> the columbus dispatch is reporting that governor john kasich's path to the nomination is getting murky. joining us on the phone is host: the good news for your governor is he's the last of several current or former governors still in this republican race. the bad news, he's teetering on the brink of irrelevancy. how so? caller: -- guest: as we were talking off the air, you know, if you'd have told me -- the kasey campaign people a few months -- kasich campaign a few months ago that they'd be the last current or former governor standing, that they'd outlast former governor bush after south carolina, they'd be turning cartwheels because they would think the nomination was within hand. but as we all know, 2016 has turned out like pretty much no one has predicted. govern everer kasich did well in new hampshire. got second place finish. got a lot of publicity, some endorsements. south carolina he didn't compete very much and finished next to last down there. now comes more states that are not necessarily real friendly to someone of his middle of the road philosophy. i say middle of th

governor kasich talked about and how voters here could change that. >> nobody knows who the governor of ohio is. they don't know if it's kasich or casey or carsick. they know me as the governor of ohio. >> a iowa polling has governor kasich third or fourth. he and other candidates will have one last chance to make their closing arg alls in the last debate before the nation's first primary. >> you can catch the live report right here on news channel a and his updates on news net 5 as well. we have been talking about all morning as janessa joins us for a look at weather. last week in iowa, the bad watered for folks headed out to getting the same with weather conditions here >> and again. >> and somewhere in the midding, we are lucky. >> like the lollypop when you get all the way down -- am i making as soon as here? >> we are like the otheryo, that's much better. we were in the 60s, yes. >> we were in the 60s and now tracking another storm that's going to make its way in monday evening into tuesday. so making the primary, very difficult, weather wise >> not difficult to get around for us

but ohio governor john kasich, beat donald trump there. after winning two of the first three midnight polling places. kasich has been the talk of the town all day. mike dardis is covering his campaign, he joins us live tonight. from concord. mike. mike: they are used to having more voters. now it is down to nine. 3-2. donald trump. dixville votes are not a good but a good predictor of who is the nominee for the general election. since 1698. there have been a couple ties but the prediction has been held true. governor john kasich: when you win big in dixville notch like i did, i mean, what else can you say? i mean, it was huge. i just saw trump, i said ' trump i crushed you.' he goes, ' yeah you did. you killed me.' >> kasich. mike: governor kasich final push at a polling place in concorde. it is time to trade in the snow boots forefoot flops. he shows confidence that he will head out to south carolina. his buses already heading out there. this morning he was at the red arrow diner in manchester hoping that will win over those undecided vot

he's hill gives a very haughty presence to governor kasich because in his last game, he beat governor kasich's ohio state buckeyes in the orange bowl, 40-35. now without further a do, let me bring taj boyd to the stand. mr. boyd: very good turnout. i appreciate you for showing it up. people want to know why i endorse john kasich, and it is because i believe in what he is, and what he is going to do. ago, someone told me never a sissy earning with someone you do not believe in. when case is called, it was an easy decision. i love his integrity it. he took a deficit in ohio and into a surplus. that is not an easy task. given the chance to see the debate and listen and watch, there was a lot of chaos going on out there, and it was crazy. you know who i'm talking about. he just weathered the storm. he was calm, collected. it looks like a president of the united states. this is someone who i truly believe can do a wonderful job. look, you know who to vote for. you need to make it happen. again, a great unifier. he is who he is. john kasich. >> governor, how are you, sir? i thought i was we

we'll get to them and more with governor kasich right after this break. don't go away. >>> and welcome back to our special live from houston, texas tonight. back with us now -- [ applause ] republican presidential candidate governor john kasich. governor, great to see you again. i want to get to this issue, which a lot of our voters raised. since senator rand paul left the race, the libertarian voters have been looking around for which candidates best match them. the next voter is one of those rand paul voters. rusty says he's still undecided and would like to hear from all the candidates on this one. rusty, go ahead. >> thank you so much for taking my question. the question is, there doesn't seem to be a champion of liberty left in the race in some of our minds. why should liberty republicans vote for you in the primary and also in the general? >> well, look, the first thing is, i've always believed in small government. i was talking about balancing the federal budget why we shrunk the government. the same thing in my state where we have the lowest number

my language. >> moderator: governor kasich. >> give me a break. >> governor kasich, governor kasich, here in sourk earlier this week, you said the idea, the concept of deporting 11 million undocument workers here-- >> make sure my mother is listening. she's watching the debate. >> you did say it. it's been reported in 10 different newspaper. >> moderator: we will leave the moon metaphors to be adjudicated later, i assure you. governor kasich, you said earlier this week in south carolina, the concept, the idea of deporting 11 million undocument workers in this country is nuts. why is it you are so opposed to that idea? senator cruz has said it's a simple application of existing law. not inhumane. it is just. why do you disagree? >> before i get to that, this is the ninth or the tenth debate, and what i've been watching here, this back-and-forth. and these attacks, some of them are personal. i think we're fixing to lose the election to hillary clinton if we don't stop this. ( applause ) i mean, the fact is, you know what i would suggest? why don't we just take all the negative ads and

that's a discussion governor kasich would welcome with governor bush. >> already again as well donaldg he heard a commercial that was a little bit negative. it was a john kasich attack against him. he's also preparing. we've seen this with marco rubio and ted cruz, you make some movement, trump comes after you. appears jeb bush believes he may have a chance in south carolina, governor kasich said he will remain positive. he said last night, we never went negative because we have more good to sell than to spend our time being critical of someone else. how does that work in south carolina where we know it can get, as i said a little more bare knuckle? >> well, others can do that and i think a distinction from that is staying positive and telling them why you think you should get it or why you should move forward as opposed to ripping somebody apart. sooner or later we have to get through this process. we'll have a nominee that the party closes around. if we rip each other to slehred that's not good for november. >> what does governor kasich need to do in south carolina to move forward?

governor kasich has spent little time campaigning there. >> fresh off that second-place finish governor kasich may get another boost to his conservative credentials. state lawmakers sent him a bill stripping government money from planned parenthood. late this afternoon the state house gave final approval to a bill that bans organizations affiliated with abortions from receiving grants from the health department. been questioned. had the governor signed this measure yesterday it may have hurt his chances in new hampshire where such a move would not have been less moderate republican voters. >>> breaking news from maryland. we just learned that two sheriff's deputies have been shot and killed. a gunman opened fire inside a maryland. the deputies were called into the restaurant. as the shooter ran, another deputy tried to stop him and was also shot. a third deputy then shot and killed the gunman. >>> still ahead, all new at 5:00, precious mementos stolen right from an akron man's home. >> they're memories. i mean, they can't be replaced. >> this wasn't just some random burglary. it was one

governor kasich. time well spent, it would seem. depending on who ekes out third place, the biggest casualty in new hampshire may be marco rubio. >> i did not do well on saturday night. so listen to this. that will never happen again. [ applause ] >> reporter: referring to saturday night's abc news debate, where rubio repeated that same memorized line from his stump speech over and over again. >> and let's dispel once and for all with this fiction -- >> that bar okay a ack obama doesn't know what he's doing -- >> there it is. the memorized 25-second speech. there it is, everybody. >> reporter: the next day? up at rubio's events. they clearly struck a nerve. today rubio's supporters tried to terminate one of them. the big question tonight, did new hampshire voters terminate rubio's candidacy? >> i think the lack of authenticity, that scripted quality really bothered voters, particularly in new hampshire. >> reporter: earlier today, to get a firsthand sense of the mood of the electorate, we went to this small town. this is laconia, ne

if you're looking at experience, governor kasich does have it and came out a winner. >> kasich might one okay and it was the revenge of the governors, but chris christie, it was his night and jeb bush had a strong night. i think it's all about christie and bush and kasich will start to ebb. >> so will bush and christie get a bump come tuesday? >> yes. absolutely. there's no question. marco rubio was on quite an upward trajectory. i think that has been stopped. chris christie and jeb bush will be really doing better the next couple of polls. >> and i think you'll see a bump for governor kasich. >> okay. and we'll leave it there. good to see both of you. thank you so much. >> thank you, arthel. >>> investigators in somalia digging up new details about that explosion that blew that hole in the side of this jetliner. new reporting on what a source about the moments lead iing up that engs mroegs. plus ted cruz is looking for a way to stay hot after his first place finish in iowa. coming up, we'll talk to one of his supporters about the senator's chances of going 2-2. >> what we are doing t
