martha.a: hi, there. one of the things pretty standout in these polls, let's look at "wall street journal" one, basically carson's loss is cruz's gain. cruz is up 12 points rather in this one and carson has gone to 11 from 29%. ted cruz finds himself in pretty good spot going into the debate on tuesday night. what do you make of it, bret? >> i think it's real. i think he is now clearly ahead in iowa. i note that the "des moines register" poll which has sterling track record has him up by 10 over trump. and it's very interesting, martha, to watch cruz react to trump's criticism which is likely to increase if anything in the days ahead. he absorbs these blows. he does not attack trump in return. he doesn't counterattack. the reason obviously is that he thinks he is well-positioned to inherit trump's support if trump falters as he may in iowa, may very well in iowa. no one can say, martha, with any certainty what will happen to trump if this sort of aura of invincibility which he enjoyed so long

martha: we have that, bret.et me play that for everybody at home so they can hear it for themselves. here is comes. >> the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform, that scurs the borders, that improves legal immigration and allow those here illegally to come in out of the shadows. then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement. martha: seems pretty clear, bret. >> yeah. you know, listen, his supporters, his campaign is saying that this was an amendment designed to kill the bill, poison pill if you will. that that's what he was really trying to do. now that's fine but it is the statements of 2013, and numerous interviews that he gave where he said declaratively that was not his intent. he told that to byron york of the "washington examiner." texas tribune put up audio of summer 2013 on their website where you can hear the senator say, my objective was not to kill immigration reform but to amend the gang ever eight bill that is solves the problem rather than making problem worse. i said from th

martha: impressive.o go back to the screening because we were talking about the couple in california and how they were radicalized for several years. they go the through the department of homeland security system and not picked up by fbi. how do you screen for people like these? >> it is not only signals intelligence but human intelligence if i'm not mistaken not the best thing you do here in america. have to put savings lives and quality of life before everything. so the screening process or ability to find the bad guys you need to let security forces and in israel public opinion supports the security forces in their ability to screen and if, sometimes a bit of privacy is jeopardized, that's fine, as long as they get the tools to find the bad guys. it's highest priority. martha: in terms of infiltrating organizations and getting to know people, finding your way into families and all of that, i assume, are not off limits? >> indeed. if you have a suspicion, let them follow the leads and find the bad guys

martha: the f.b.i. is following the money and a possible international connection to the attacks in san bernardino. investigators finding syed farook and farb * deposited a -- and tashfeen malik deposited a large sum of money two weeks before carrying out these attacks. but the details on their background is still somewhat a mystery. >> the question we are trying to get ought is when did this happen and by whom did this happen. we don't know the answers at this point. martha: chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live in redlands. reporter: the most important lead they seem to have is this money trail. that's always something investigators focus on quickly in the aftermart of these sorts of incidents -- in the aftermath of these attacks. e farooks had a deposit of $28,500 go into his bank account two weeks before the attacks. that's a large loan because it's half of his salary. then 10 days later he withdraw $10,000. where did that $10,000 go. the f.b.i. is looking at whether it went t to to enriquey mar

martha? [applause] martha: secretary clinton, i want to circle back to something that your opponents here have brought up. libya is falling apart. the country is a haven for isis and jihadists with an estimated 2,000 isis fighters there today. you advocated for that 2011 intervention and called it smart power at its best. and yet, even president obama said the u.s. should have done more to fill the leadership vacuum left behind. how much responsibility do you bear for the chaos that followed elections? mrs. clinton: well, first, let's remember why we became part of a coalition to stop gadhafi from committing massacres against his people. the united states was asked to support the europeans and the arab partners that we had and we did a lot of due diligence about whether we should or not, and eventually, yes, i recommended and the president decided that we would support the action to protect civilians on the ground and that led to the overthrow of gadhafi. i think that what libya then did by h

martha: hi, kennedy it many great to be here.colleges have been radicalized in their own sense and created an environment where they figure arbitrary victims that rest upon the statistic that one in five women is going to be the victim of sexual assault. where does that statistic come from? >> martha: it came from the department of justice. when it came out it sent a chill. sit came out at the time my daughter was looking at colleges. i thought that's unbelievable it was a broad definition and it included anywhere unwanted advance which obviously could fall into a large category. but other statistics show the number is lower than that. no matter what the numbers are, kennedy, one rape on any campus is too many. everybody understands that. but what we are trying to talk about in this piece is one false accusation is equally devastating. we prove filed three young men who went through hell, honestly, and believed they were falsely accused. in a couple cases the university found them not responsible for what was said to have happene
