waiting for senator marco rubio in ames. as we wait, taking more of your calls, your thoughts on the campaign so far. the iowa caucuses just two days away. ruth is in dubuque, iowa, on the line for independents. hi, ruth. go ahead. caller: ok. it is a hard question actually. i understand rubio has not attended the senate voting for maybe a whole year or more. i would like to know his reasoning in that and also what kind of example not going to work will show the public. thanks. host: thanks for your call. kathy, what state are you in? caller: washington. host: the state of washington on the republican line. who is your candidate? caller: we like rubio but we are thinking trump will probably win. although we don't like his antics and the crazy things he says, we almost feel it is a hail mary in a football game. let's try it because he seems to know the things we want a cop west and we are not getting anything done in congress now. it seems we need to move more toward the middle. i would be happy if we got half of the things w

marco meant them is what. and they try to get the folks to caucus on monday night but also talking about his rivals as well as president obama and hillary clinton. rubio is positioned well. he has not spent the most time in iowa. he has not led the polls in iowa, literally for more than a year. and yet, there's a distinct possibility and a sense he could be doing particularly well from 48 hours from now. but we'll see. he's been out all over the state and got a lot of campaigning to do before it's over yet, jon? >> "the des moines register" said ted cruz had a rough debate the other night. how's he doing now? >> he's really pushing hard. there's a sense of urgency with the cruz campaign. he's added a lot more scripture to his stump speech, courting evangelicals, which he's depending on heavily and taking shots at marco rubio and not so much for donald trump. he's for ted cruz this afternoon on the trail in iowa. >> if everyone in this room brings nine additional people to caucus on monday night, we will win th

they want to be sure, marco rubio is surging. they want to be sure that surge doesn't take him beyond where if all things go as planned for ted cruz's campaign, would be maybe third place. that's what's going on there. inside cruz campaign, talking to his aides, they feel they have momentum, they insist their ground operation which they talk about, i know you've spoken with some cruz campaign officials on the air about this, they're transparent about it. they say it is robust. they have people busting at the seams in their headquarters, coming to make calls, to canvass, coming to make sure they get their people to the caucuses. they're leading into that, john. you covered this a long time. expectation game is such that you don't make a big deal as they are out of how many people they can get to the caucuses. they have to live up to expectations. they're insisting they will caucus night. >> won't be easy. they say they have the team to do it. looking forward to see what cruz talks about and more specifically who he talks about. an

marco rubio trying to take a little bit of that away from him. >> what did you think of marco rubio'se? >> i think he's a one-term senator who's 44 and looks very boyish. he looks much younger than ted cruz, even though they're five months apart. i think this is him trying to conjure in voters' minds the idea of him in the oval office. conjure in voters' minds the image of him as president. he knows that when you talk to voters, sometimes they say, listen, we like marco rubio but they feel like maybe he's not ready. i think it's him really trying to pass the gravitas of commander in chief. >> you never hear hillary clinton say that. she's very careful. she says if i have the honor -- >> she's a woman. >> no, because she cannot semen titled. she seem like it's a coronation. so she's very careful to say if i have the pleasure of getting the honor, getting your vote and becoming president. which is why marco rubio, this is why he's such a good contrast to her. he can summon all of that energy, that not arrogance but that confidence. >> and the rap -- >> that she can't. >> the rap on rubi

is that object in the mirror marco rubio?f the ad is to simply set the report straight. senator rubio was a member of the gang of eight, senator cruz was not and fought against the gang of eight. that's -- i think it's important for the voters to know that. >> but just to be clear, i don't think we're it shall it did seem that ted cruz was talking a lot about donald trump. now that's changed. as i said, i think this is a critical piece of the record. from my portfolio, senior foreign policy adviser, border security is national security. this is an extremely important issue for the election. >> next 48 hourses what's the road map to victory? >> he needs to keep doing what he's doing. he's committed to the people of iowa. the full gracely all 99 cowards. it's amazing, just finishes strong, as he'sing going on. >> evangelical vote in way is so key particularly for ted cruz. what does he intend to do with these voters? >> absolutely. >> for senator cruz, this isn't a hard sell. he's a member of this community, his father is a pas

marco rub marco rubio running third in the polls here.nts to pick up as many votes as possible, nipping at the heels of cruz. he went hard after cruz last night at the debate in des moines. >> the 21st century was better. it was a new american century. this is what we can do together, and that's why i'm asking you to caucus for my monday night and that's why i look forward to answering your questions. thank you. thank you. all right. i cannot see you. all right. here we go. this bearded gentleman here, that beard keeps getting longer. it's our victory beard. it's our playoff beard. where's the other mike? and this gentleman here. did you shave today. if you'll find them so everyone can hear your question. don't forget the people in the front too. >> hello. in about sometime next week, the nation is going to forget about iowa, but do you like corn and what's your plan for oil independence? >> first of all, i'm not going to forget about iowa. we're going to come back in september and win it in the general election too. [ applause ] >> first

boom, straight to marco rubio. his campaign, they are airing this half hour town hall special in this state today and tomorrow, is that unheard of? >> guess who else did that? >> then senator barack obama. >> and how did he do? >> he won iowa historically. so look, it is a bold move, he is going to blanket the area waves for 30 minutes. it gives many who haven't had the chance to see him, he hasn't been here as much. they have the opportunity to see him for 30 minutes, it is a video of him at a town hall in sioux city, iowa. >> i'm balancing, i'm juggling. we wanted to make sure we see senator sanders. listen, we're going to show you as much as we possibly can here of all of these different candidates on both sides of the aisle. chris crossing the state. and i don't know where he is but you can see that it's an intimate crowd where bernie is his best, pressing the flesh. we heard him a moment ago asking people please come out monday night and caucus for me. continue please. >> there's bernie pounding the pavement.

marco: around the household. but then, like, we, there's a lot of interest from other companies in mexico. so we decided to aggregate more services, such as micro-insurance. so, for example, if you want to support your family back by from here paying an insurance service, like health, micro-health insurance, and micro-life insurance. so all those things, those are the thing that we have been working on the last couple of months are ready to be deployed. and the same thing for other services that are very interesting. damian: no cost to the user? marco: yeah, i mean, there's a very, very good approach. and if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. if you want to pay your bills from your bank account in the us, you obviously don't have to pay extra fees. so we are taking the same approach. and there's obviously costs behind the scenes that we take care of by doing some business development in mexico, by, you know, taking some commissions from the companies. so making them understand that we are a distribution

marco-mentum. everyone wanted to believe that marco rubio was surging. that was the morning.he politics poll comes out and there's a sentence that says, we see no evidence. >> no evidence. >> of a surge. in fact, marco rubio's support dipped over the last few days. >> to be fair, i think the marco people and some of the people i talked to on the ground that sensed the surge sensed it after the debate and the iowa poll did the four days ending on the one day after the debate. so if there was a surge post debate, it wouldn't have been captured or reflected in the iowa poll. certain people want you to believe that there is a surge. i've heard from grass tops around the state that there's a surge. there is going to have to be a challenge to ted cruz or donald trump. >> but ted cruz clearly thinks that there's a momentum. otherwise, he wouldn't be doing his ads against marco rubio or talking about marco rubio. >> that's true. if they are directing their ad dollars elsewhere, that is where the real threat is. marco rubio seems to be -- whatever the grasstops are saying, you've got

marco, the constitution says you cannot do that. and he's told me, i understand that, glenn. but i've got to do what i've got to do to protect the american people. there's a lot of people that will trade their freedom for their security. i'm not one of them. >> that was one of the reasons why i asked marco rubio about his call to shut down diners or mosques where radicalization is occurring. and radicalization, none of us wants that, i get that. but it's not illegal to believe as the radical muslims believe. what's illegal is then to turn it into terrorist acts. you can't just shut down a diner because muslims are being radicalized in it under the first amendment. >> people say they want to restore america to her greatness. if we don't restore her principles, we will never be great. there is nothing to america besides our principles, and we have lost them. and i'll tell you, there's too many of these things -- megyn, when i was on fox, we talked about a lot of things and i was mocked for a lot of things. i looked through some old po

marco rubio showing here could mean problems for ted cruz later. what does that mean for donald trump? looks like the effort not to go

and marco rubio certainly is making the case. if he can do well in iowa and do well in a state that is conservative like that, he can harness both sides and bridge the divide. >> jeremy diamond, thank you. we will talk to you in a few minutes. late night for everybody. >>> 11 minutes past the hour. three dangerous inmates who broke out of the california jail on the run this morning. a woman police say helped them escape has been arrested. >>> there is still no sign of three inmates one week after they broke out of a jail in orange county, california. now a woman who taught english as a second language at the jail is under arrest suspected of helping the inmates mount a daring escape. we have more from paul vercammen. >> reporter: the woman began working here at the jail teaching english as a second language in july. in a group class setting, she met nayeri and they developed some sort of relationship. she helped them escape by providing him with mapping capability. >> at this point, there is no confirmation she brought tools into

marco rubio in third at 18%. he is up five. other

marco rubio had a close because of a slightly energized, medium energy jeb bush came out.io seemed to lose his footing a little bit. he was saying what's happening? >> who ate his wheaties? >> but they all looked good. >> what we saw tonight was the alternate universe we would have had if donald trump stayed on "the apprentice". i think had most of the candidates off bounds at various times, that exchange on immigration where you played the video montage of senator cruz and senator rubio's apparently conflicting statementsçó they h trouble answering questions and it was not a good moment for either one of them. it's hard to pick a winner because these guys were on the defensive and enabled chr. >> chris: -- >> jeb bush's numbers have been low. outside of jeb bush did anyone help themselves? >> jeb bush, what's happening now is that a third of the party is starting to think about is marco rubio the guy we need to have a more or less safer bet for the general election. they're starting to move that there. jeb bush needs to delay the decision to slow that down. i think he did

marco rubio has nice one-minute speeches.y, people are looking for a governor, somebody dealing with crisis and doesn't need talking points and practice speeches. governor christie has been tested like nobody else on that stage. and i'm confident that at the end of the day, the voters will going to pick him. >> we will see. mike duhaime, very good to have you with us today. thanks. >> i appreciate it. thank you. >> he talks about speeches at the end there. on monday night, martha, the winners, when they deliver their speeches, we're going to be laser-focused on their message, in a way in all likelihood many voters have not been so far. because they're going to have that gold or silver or bronze like, whoa. so we really need to pay attention to what the person is saying, because they came out of here with a first, second or third place finish. >> and one of the three people is going to be a bit of a surprise. just based on everything we're hearing and seeing on the ground here, it looks like the ground is moving. and people ar

marco rubio. he seems to be playing the long game of a political survivor. it is a calculated gamble that involves waiting for the rivals to dropout and winning over their supporters and the strategy bears risk because it hinges on a strong showing in iowa. senator rubio said things are looking good for his campaign in that state. listen. >> wee feel good and growing in our support. obviously ted cruz is the front runner and spent all of his money in iowa. >> ted cruz spent all of his money in iowa and built a historic ground game and we'll work hard and we feel good about it. >> we'll talk about it with nina easton and eliana johnson. welcome being to both of you. nina, what do you think? it is all about peaking at the right time in iowa. is marco rubio peaking at the right time? >> it is also about the age- old expectation's game. that's what marco rubio was playing there. he's hoping that ted cruz is expected to be in one. he's trying to emphasize that and if ted cruz is not number one, he hope

polls have marco rubio running in third place here.n spinning hard work in the rest telling us they have momentum heading into caucus night. tim hutchinson, from the state of arkansas, marco rubio supporters. team rubio want us to believe that a third place finish is satisfactory. make the case. >> well, there is no candidate that has taken more incoming, more negative ads run against him than mark why rubio ads. and inspite of that, he continues to rise in the polls. i think that pretty remarkable and third place finish would be very remarkable given the attacks both from candidates below him and candidates above him. >> i was reading in "politico," there is no candidate spending more days in iowa than marco rubio. no candidate spending more money right now in iowa than rubio. but still, third place place is okay? >> again, i talk to the number of attack ads. cruz, starting this most recent i think very disingenuous attack ad saying that rubio is the republican obama which, you know, he's had far more governing and elected office expe

republicans like saying marco rubio.these guys cannot leave each other alone right now. >> i appreciate your dumping your research folder on the debate stage. >> it's your record. >> do you think they like each other? >> half the things marco said are flat out false. they're absolutely false. >> so that -- just that -- just to set the context here about how nasty things are between mark owe ruin owe and ted cruz right now. these two 44-year-old first-year senators, killing each other right now. and whatever the competitive dynamics are between the two of them. there is a mean-spiritedness in terms of their tone about each other on the campaign trail. that's what's going on in their part of the world right now. but i promised you this ended somewhere nice. and here is the nice part, brought to us by the national treasure that is the c-span archives. use this however you like. do with this what you will. but this is real. we did not make it up. it is not sarcastic, it is not out of context. this is from 2013. let this wash

so did you, marco. when you do that, you ask people to support you shouldn't cut an run and stick with it. that is exactly what happened. he cut and run. that is a tragedy. >> ted said he was for nsa reform. then he told marco rubio, no, i voted for the bill because i'm for the government collecting 100% of your cell phone records. i don't think ted can have it both way. >> you have to be able to bring together conservatives and evangelicals and libertarians and stitch together a winning majority. >> bernie sanders is a socialist. i think bernie sanders is good candidate for president, of sweden. >> to ordain and establish this constitution of the united states of mechanic. folks, it is not too late. enough said. >> four other gop candidates hitting the stage two hours earlier. here are some. key moments from that debate. >> if my husband did what bill clinton did i would have left him long ago. here now she is trying for the white house. probably more qualified for the big house, honestly. she is has e

kasich, marco rubio, jeb bush. we've got john kasich, an event as well. we'll show you the maps as well, the republicans and democrats all over. ted cruz will be hitting multiple stops as well, with you event beginning in moment. front-runner donald trump holding three rallies. these candidates are everywhere today. let's check the democrats. two hours from now hillary clinton will rally with gabby giffords and her hurls mark kelly. bernie sanders holds a series of canvassing events, ending with a rock concert in iowa city. phil, good morning. >> reporter: chris christi is probably walking in in a matter of moments. ram spire weekend, killer mike, all of this, victor, underscore the -- under voters here in iowa go to their caucus sights. it's very close, close on the democratic side, and bernie sanders hillary clinton really going back and forth. on the republican side, donald trump looking like he's extending his lead, but what you're watching right now is ted cruz and marco rubio really battling it out, and then people like chris christie walking in her

we've got donald trump, senator cruz, and marco rubio. i think we're going to see some people getting close to ending their campaigns when monday night is over. >> ted cruz relies on you a lot. you're really important to him. he mentioned you several times. i think four or five times at the debate. here's a couple of the mentions. >> the endorsements that i am proud of are leading conservatives like iowa's own congressman steve king. there is a reason steve king, perhaps the feare efiercest deff farms in this state, is chairing my campaign. >> why are you such a lonely crusader on behalf of him? >> well, i can only hear just part of what you're saying, but here's what i can say. the people that show up on caucus on monday night, 2/3 of them are christian conservatives. that'll be the bulk of the cruz supporters. they have gone to caucus before. they don't have to be trained to go. that's the stability of the foundation of this. i know the caucus goers. they're pro-life. they're pro-marriage. they're pro-religious liberty. they're pro-seco

marco rubio last night.t donald trump this morning. >> so, yeah, i had this thing going on last night, this debate. i don't know if you saw it. it was a lot of fun. i actually had a little more time than usual. i think there was somebody missing or something. >> so tongue in cheek there. i can't count how many times over the course so far where you've said donald trump sucking all the oxygen up in the room, he wasn't there. was it good as far as the other guys getting a big gulp of oxygen where they never had that chance before? >> it was good and bad. donald trump still dominated things. moore google searches for donald trump than any other candidate even during the debate. on the other hand, it gave each of the candidates on that stage a real opportunity to be able to show what they can do, what they can say to explain their positions. so for undecided voters, i think not having donald trump there presented a great opportunity for them to see the candidates. >> do you think they would have been a little bi

"marco: so they can go to school- protester: marco rubio wants to deport my family!" while protests did eventually calm down, it did cause some unrest among the crowd, who removed. governor kasich at one point addressed any potential protesters in the crowd saying the forum was not the only place you could find presidential candidates in columbia today. former florida governor jeb bush took part in the 'stand up for life march and rally' at the state house. the rally was just one of several weekend events for pro-life groups around the state. "young people are of course going to be the backbone of this movement in the future and i think you can see from testimony by some of our young people who spoke that very good hands." organizers of the rally say right now they're focused on getting new state legislation passed to make an abortion illegal after 20 weeks -- with some exceptions. meteorologist von gaskin has your first alert forecast after the break. you may remember erika alexander the head-strong that show helped to break color-barriers on main stream tv. nearly a

this is marco rubio. he's in cedar rapids at the moment, trying to get the good folks there to come over to his side. as i said, we'll continue to show you all of the lively action that's going on in many places around this state. >> i love it. so the last iowa poll ahead of the caucus is out. des moines register, a newspaper here in des moines. it's been pretty good in the past. what about now? here it is, showing donald trump hanging on to his lead in the hawkeye state. ted cruz in second place. marco rubio in third place. is that the way it's going to go? january seltzer is the pollster behind these numbers and she's conducted that since 1988. she's with me in the atrium. how are you doing? nice to see you and meet you. you are well-respected in these parts and i know you know that. but you don't always nail it. so now that you are 28-odd hours away, how do you feel right now? >> you know, i feel okay. that we didn't see anything lurking in our data that suggests what if this happens, what if this happ

. >> cruz now also attacking marco rubio, who is rising in the polls here. >> marco broke his promise to the american people. >> rubio, rising fast and hitting back hard in an interview with us. >> his whole campaign is built on he is the only conservative and everyone else is a sellout and it's absurd. >> what surprises await us tomorrow night? the best political minds will be here with insights from the campaign trail. >> what a race. hello, aye ja hello, i'm jake tapper. we're in iowa. we have one day until the i walk caucus, when the first votes in this wild and wacky election season will finally be cast. on both sides of the aisle, it's very tight and very tense as the candidates head into their final 24 hours on the campaign trail. the very latest numbers revealed overnight by the gold standard in iowa polling, the des moines register, showing donald trump on top, leading his closest competitor, ted cruz, 28% to 23%. marco rubio surging with 15%. on the democratic side, it is within the margin of error. with hillary clinton leading bernie sanders by three points, 45% to 42%. any

go, i as the republicans like marco rubio. fresh face, he comes from an immigrant family, it's still fresh. he understands what this country was really supposed to be about. ideas, i think we need a fresh face. donald trump, i like what he has done, the bombast of the. it has made it possible for people to talk about some of the stuff they would have been afraid to talk about before. i really think he is out there on a little too far, but i do like rubio. and as far as hillary clinton and her e-mails go, people should keep talking about it, because just yesterday, they said some of this stuff is so secret, they can't even release it. host: that's not in new york, -- matt in new york, a rubio supporter. the hill," writing about buzz is growing on the ground in iowa for marco rubio. many political watchers believe it is set for a stronger-than-expected showing at monday's caucuses. a couple more calls. we go to boulder, colorado. we hear from kathleen on the democrats line. welcome. caller: an earlier caller, i think it was jack

we have seen marco rubio move up in the polls.ss of an , how aret over time the marco rubio full feeling about how they got here? >> they are playing the expectation game very well and very carefully. third place in their view would be a victory because they can move forward, trying to consolidate the center-right those are the establishment candidates. they're doing the rudy giuliani strategy. right now they are not positioned to win any of those states, so there is an upside to the long game. but the down is they are betting against history. john: you're probably not all that unhappy to see this story about the e-mails pop-out. up. growing operation, that they may not just get there? >> bernie sanders is a little bit tricky because he has made such a deal that saying he is not going negative. i think he is relying on republicans going negative on this one. they will see whether she can rise above it, or become defensive about this in the last couple of days. people draw their own associations. >> look at what the polling has tol

ted and marco can change his mind.erfectly legal to change your mind but when you're a governor you have to admit it. you can't hide between tricks. that's the difference and the kind of leader we need in the white house. stop the washington bull and let's get things done! >> i tweeted out #washington bull after he said he needed a dictionary for washington. one of his best moments. >> unless you think i'm here to bash republicans. >> so unusual. >> no, no. jeb bush had a good night. he came off presidential. kasich does well and rand paul did well but christie continues to pander on planned parenthood saying i would give privately and pandered on guns. let him hoyle to the positions rather than the national academy. >> he is chairman of the republican governor's association and raised a ton of money from the big donors, a u.s. attorney, all political. he's always been in washington. played a big part there. it's kind of worshipping on the other side. >> the other side of ed rollins. you brought up jeb bush. a lot of p
