. >> the corn kernel poll, what is that? >> corn kernel poll is put on by who radio. you do is take a corn kernel from them and put it into the jar with the picture of the candidate that you like. now we are in the second day of the corn kernel poll it's going to go all 10 days. the record was achieved in last year's senate races when joni ernst has 56,000 votes collectively and she won the straw poll here at the fair and she won the u.s. senate seat. trump is winning hands down. ben carson is seconds. and no one is even close to the rest of the two of them. it's a lot like the most recent polls. trump is in the 30's. ben carson is in the 20's. carson is in the teens and everybody else down in single digits. >> speaking of ben carson he entered the no spin zone. he put nasty accusations to rest. are iowaians excited about another nonpolitician running as president. >> absolutely. one of the things so key here in ground game. some think because they are not politician they may not have any very seriously mistaken. both of those gentlemen have hired long time iowa pros

look at my landslide in the corn kernel poll. sometimes the universe delivers poetic justice. on the one hand this feels like godzilla versus mothra. republican news network versus front-runner republican presidential candidate. two monsters of roughly the same size. how can i fight between them end? on the other hand, if you want a more specific monster metaphor that may be more accurate, it may be less godzilla and mothra and more like frankenstein and his own monster because when donald trump wanted to become a real candidate and not a celebrity, when he wanted to start being treated like a candidate, fox news did that for him. they created this thing. which they are now fighting. and the fight is happening on the exact terms that fox news itself invented. ignoring the substance totally and fighting on the basis of "my ratings are bigger, my poll numbers are bigger therefore i can't hear you and i don't have to hear you." that's been pure fox news for years now. now it's pure donald trump and the way he's at war with fox news. in an era where fox news is dominant as republi

the head fox news said, although he rarely apologizes, he pointed out he won the prestigious corn kernel polln track to beat them again? john: what was very striking today was the way in which not just roger fired back, but the way in which a lot of people in fox news on twitter, using very similar language. kristen powers, dana perino, a lot of people all saying, this must stop to trump. which you didn't have before. it feels like there was a directive that went out. we get the collectivity of corporate foxnews and on-air foxnews, they are all being marshaled to rise up. that is more of a problem, that could be -- in the end, donald trump, republican voters watch fox. if there's some kind of retribution or freezeout happening, some way in which the company goes against trump, it's a problem for him. mark: but here's the thing, if donald trump calls sean hannity or megyn kelly, or anyone else, they put them on the air. the law of supply and demand, until they are willing to say, you are saying something so inappropriate we are not putting you on the air, he wins. john: i see that. it cannot b

now very importantly for iowa, anybody ever heard of the corn kernel, everybody heard of the corn kernel pollso we had four of them and that came from the state fair. last week i came to the state fair. i came well equipped in a helicopter. and we took the kids for rides. and those kids love me. those kids -- and i love those kids, but we had an amazing time. my pilot said, is that enough, mr. trump, after going up and down like a yo-yo. i said, nope, you got to keep doing it. we had an amazing time. i know it means a lot to the people here and having gotten that vote is incredible. here's what's happening. a little bit of a different situation. i think maybe than has happened before. a great journalist called me. somebody that i don't know but somebody that i have great respect for. one of the major newspapers. and he said, could i ask you one question, mr. trump. what? how does it feel? how does what feel? he said, this was the summer of trump. do you believe this? how good is that for my ego? is that good? but they said -- he said -- i mean and he's really one of the -- now the press is go
