rick could -- rhetoric. >> the offensive bluster that we hear from mr. trump makes it much harder to build and solidify that relationship. >> reporter: but what's undeniable, is that trump's comments play with voters who distrust washington. >> he's got 15 or 20% of the gop base, and that's what he's talking to. whatever the issue is, he's forcing the rest of the field to somewhat talk about his agenda. >> reporter: trump's comments came as they showed overwhelming bipartisanship that would tighten the visa waiver program, that currently allows travelers to stay in the u.s. without a visa, and stay for 90 days. the bill would require anyone who has traveled to iran, iraq, or syria to undergo an interview. >> you could expect this issue as well as trump's comments, that is scheduled for las vegas next tuesday. that's coming up on tuesday. >> you can bet we will see the true test coming up in the caucuses in the primaries. >> in the next couple of weeks, you're going to start to see that field narrowing. >>> senator dianne feinstein is introducing a bill t

mr. assad removes himself, you will still have problems with terrorism in syria. >> and rick, when you think about this u.s.-russia negotiated peace process that the u.n. wants to incorporate, but either russia or syria just took out a major rebel leader. does it affect what happens now? >> oh, absolutely. and you know, the general is absolutely right. i am optimist when it comes to iraq, but i am pes misstisimistt the attacks, because they have good intelligence there in the southern regions of damascus, and they took out a moderate leader who went out to talk to the syrian regime, and now the syrian regime is taken out, and now they have hardened opinions on both sides. syria is still a problem, and whereas in iraq, you have defined actors on each side. in syria, we still don't know who all of the players are, and we can't sit down with the russians the other super power to talk about how we will approach a terrorist organization, and so syria is a real problem, and the solution is not on the horizon as it is in iraq. >> a so even though they have lost places in libya and other places, the

mr. trump has to do. >> let me ask you this. in 2008 huckabee won the iowa kuk cuss. he didn't make it to be the candidate. i believe in 2012 rick santorum won. he didn't make it to be the republican nominee. why do we pay so much attention to iowa? >> juk, you m -- judge, you may governor romney was declared the winner in iowa and he went on to win new hampshire as well, and we in recent history have always nominated the person declared the victor in the first three contests. americans love winners. it is the early momentum you get by getting those early victories that has in recent history always propelled that candidate to go on to become our party's nominee. >> are you now backing ted cruz? >> you know i am not doing that. trying to give an unbiased opinion of where we see the contest. i think you look at where senator cruz is, he is in a good position. as i said a few seconds ago there are 12 different candidates who would like to trade positions with mr. trump and be where he is. senator rubio is doing a good job of threading the needle of having the anti establishment message having never been the favorite of the establis

mr. cruz. he is the president in chief executive of the family leader. and he backed the winner of the past two republican caucuses, mike huckabee and rick santorum. in both case, the caucus winners were too conservative and underfunded to capture the nomination. this time, mr. cruz is better in position be the nominee because he has a national grassroots revolt against republican establishment. "we all will be going all in for senator ted cruz." he spoke in the rotunda of the state capital. we will turn to the phone lines where our first caller comes from beverly, massachusetts. matt is calling in on the independent line. good morning, matt. caller: good morning. i just wanted to say i think it would be interesting and intellectually consistent if the republicans had kind of a inquestion sis by one another and trump on cruz because he had some foreign ties and i consider a lot of troubling questions there. so that's my comment. thanks. host: all right. that's matt from beverly, massachusetts. next up is nick from fairview, tennessee, on the independent line. nick what, do you think this morning? caller: yes. i have voted republican mostly for year

mr. powner talked about "extremely poor schedule performance" on one aspect of this. i read all rick atkinson's trilogy on the war in europe. world war ii. and the eisenhower again and again gave impossible timelines to his generals for invasions of north africa, sicily, italy, and normandy. you read walter isaacson's book on steve jobs, jobs again and again gave his team impossible tasks. so the question is, does noaa search, do people work nights and weekends, is there a sense of urgency about these things, how is that urgency modeled by the leadership? or is it business as usual, people come in at 9:00 monday morning and go home at 5:00 on friday afternoon? >> so to -- starting with the ending of what you just stated, i've not seen a more dedicated team working on any program that i've seen on goz and jpss. that's independent of whether they're nasa, noah, lockheed martin, any of our vendors. there's no essential of casual execution of the program. there's a strong dedication of the mission and the time and effort they put into it, well beyond what i could ever expect to tell them

mr. arthur cashen from ubs. diane swan joins us from chicago. and so does our own rick santelli. let me go to ladies first. diane, you're the economist on this panel here. so we finally have liftoff. we finally have the first rate increase in seven years. put it in perspective for us. bearing in mind, janet yellen has said don't overblow the importance of this first rate increase. >> it's really more of a limp-off rather than a liftoff. i think it's really important that although yellen sort of hedged herself in terms of whether they needed to see more firming in inflation, it did say in the statement that they need to see actual as well as their confidence that inflation would actually move towards its goal. i think that was really a nod to the doves. it's her way of corralling the cats and getting the unanimous vote in terms of acknowledging that inflation has fallen short of their expectations. one of the things i really do worry about is that dot. >> the projections they have for fed funds down the road. >> exactly. how is that different than measured pace? i think that could be the achilles heel that

mr. garre: we did look at that. we had seven years under this policy. -- university found justice scalia: rick -- justice sotomayer: dmittance. mr. garre: the university was not meeting its educational objectives. that is what it found it specifically. it says that specifically in the supplemental joint appendix. found thategislature the holistic plan was a necessary complement. the texas court did. the texas court of appeals did. what they all recognized is the obvious way in which the 10% plan operates. if you did not: have the top 10% plan, and you did have the planned your advocating war here, would you have a better or worse chance in achieving the diversity that you seek? mr. garre: the first thing that itould like to say is that is a different plan. i am not dodging for the meaningful difference, then this plan is an even stronger one then bakke. the university of texas has heated this court's message. heeded this court's message. we are here in debating whether we can complement that policy by taking race into account. it may be that the university could achieve more diversity through the bakke style plan. t

mr. john: they are. we have many other rivals and very -- there's a lot of people suffering from many diseases. but as pepfar's done, it's treated malaria, t.b., and the more you teach people -- as rick, train in countries where they haven't got enough medical staff, if you train people to look after people. in africa, for example, when we started, people aren't used to taking a pill, they're not used to that. they're used to having the local traditional healer give them something. it's a matter of education. and i think once you tell people, if i have an event, if i tell people, we're going to build somewhere to educate people or mothers-to-mothers tranmission and you can see this is improving knowledge of the disease and the treatment that you're going to give people, people will dip into their pockets. and i think, when we started it off with this disease, there were so many different foundations. there's not many standing but we work together. i think we're a very strong force. and i think we're a force for good and i think we're very -- we had a meeting last night, the camaraderie and the feeling i get from the american people is so touching. you have to remember, i'm british, i

mr. albert talk about to the gentleman offline thank you, sir come on up. >> thank you, supervisors aim rickresident of the market street railway that supports of the second street in the f line and brarl we join in taking into consideration thanking the host committee we're concerned about here you'll hear from the castro merchants the process that allowed the decisions to be made without public input that closes the key stretch of our main transit streets for three weeks deprivately the merchants along the street in castro of the historic second street service they consider their lifeline market street is a hub for iron o one and 50 years no closure more than one day of downtowns they're great but we love them and done in a few hours it will be three weeks by the time you put all things up and down they'll be bus if i had and as supervisor wiener noticed you can't reroute second street tracks the 16 moves more people everyday than all 3 cable lines but the city will not allow how does that work street shut down so we're late in the fourth quarter not anything you can do to keep the streetc

mr. kelly. >> on behalf of the independent budget partners thank you for the opportunity to testify today. the partners strongly believe veterans have earned and deserve to receive high quality comprehensive accessible is veteran sent rick care. in most instance, v.a. is the best option but v.a. cannot provide all services to all veterans at all location at all times. that is why v.a. must leverage private sector providers to expand viable options. after months of working closely with v.a. officials and other stakeholders we please misdemeanors ago expects of the plan are closely aligned with veteran health care reform framework. the iv partners support the concept of consolidating existing care in the community programs into a single program that would seamlessly combine cape abilities of the health care system with other public and private health care providers in the community wherever necessary. several community care programs would be allowed to sunset while allowing these programs to sunset is a natural progression in the development of the consolidated community care program, allowing them to expire without assurances the new plan has the capability to handing the workload is unacceptable. the partners also suppo
