if rubio gets the nomination and the presidency, getting placements in terms of jobs in the rubio administration you look back in history tri, thi,this is the role they play,e a president is elected they play a role in the transition and getting their buddies into top roles in the administration so they can oversee certain types of legislation or play a role in influencing a future president's position on how they enforce these laws. >> and again since none of them would comment to us for this story, i'm going to assume that mrs. schwartzman and blankfine as staunch opponents of dod frank andoddfrank and its effece financial is a institution, who are neutral on it or don't have an opinion on it or actually against it because they want to help small struggling family banks in america's heart land? >> well, you know, there's just no evidence that i've seen that rubio is promoting folks who come from community banks or credit unions to senior levels if his campaign. i think we just need to look at recent history. president obama when he was on the campaign trail in 2008, he promised to get tough on

. >> can you name three people you would see in a rubio administration? >> i wouldn't do that, it's presumptuous. i think there are people you would consider. if you look at the people that are running for president, despite our differences, we have a very talented republican party. when i'm our nominee, we're going to bring the party together. from the field of people that are running, there will be quality people to serve our government. >> you don't talk about your support for trade, tpp, but you do support it. >> i support a free trade agreement. we have a particular deal that's been signed, no one has come out on that deal other than people that say i'm against it or not. congress is reviewing those 5,000 pages, they'll issue a report in may, that will outline the cost and benefits of the deal, i'll make a decision. i support free trade. i don't support any deal. it's a good deal. >> the new york times is out with a piece, it says, implicit rubio attacks on president obama, is that americans have a good reason to be fatigued by a leader whose chief a

i believe a rubio administration is 180-degree turn, which is great news for the future of the countrycan you work -- you have got some liberals in the senate. you have got some liberals in the house. and as much as people want everything that he or she wants his way all the time, we do have to work a little bit together in this country. can he work across the aisle? >> i think marco rubios has the bring people together. while he is 94 out of 100 in some of the conservative rankings, he has encouraging message that draws people together. is he a uniter but, yet, is he completely conservative. >> all right. are you available on february 20th to do our show?

what would a president rubio administration look like? >> well, first of all, i never talk about interrogation techniques because it gives the terrorists the opportunity to train to evade them. number two, let me say this, though, i believe we are capable of -- we have the capability of gathering information without having to do some of the things people feel offended by and interrogating a terrorist is not the same as a law enforcement interrogation. in a law enforcement interrogation, you're trying to acquire evidence to use at trial. in a terrorism interrogation, you are trying to acquire information to prevent a terrorist attack in the future and can't use the same tactics. this is not about evidence to put someone in jail. this is about evidence and information to prevent a future terrorist attack.

cuban-american marco rubio obama administration's policy of, quote, weakness and appeasement. >>> on the campaign trail marco rubio is hoping for a bump in south carolina now that the state's popular governor has endorsed him. meanwhile, donald trump is dismissing one national poll that shows ted cruz jumping into first place for the first time leaving them virtually tied of the cruz daring trump to make good on his threat to sue him over a negative campaign ad and as for the democrats hillary clinton is struggling to hold on to her lead in nevada and tells "vogue" magazine she is great at advocating for other people but finds it hard to promote herself. >>> there is breaking news at this hour overseas. turkey blaming kurdish rebels for this bombing in ankara that killed 28 people. in retaliation turkey launched air strikes on rebel positions across the border in northern iraq. >>> well, back here at home a major safety recall this morning. toyota is recalling more than 1 million rav 4s because of rear seat belts that could come apart we have full details on our website. >>> a health

reduced spending, and now i know that some of my friends say, it's the bush administration all over again. that's why we said, marco rubio, ted cruz are the gold standard. the facts are the facts, and jeb bush has a good record. >> you have your finger on the pulse, it'll come down to florida once again. what do you foresee down the road? as we go forward? is donald trump going to remain strong? >> after tonight when we know what happens in south carolina, everybody will swing to the you'll see a lot of ads in florida there. my hope is that cruz or rubio will come out on top in south carolina, as the voters there have all the facts in front of them. but you think it'll be a long march to the convention, and my hope is one of the true conservatives will end up on top. >> what's your website? >> you can join for free and get all the information. we do local [inaudible]. check them out, we've endorsed them, and look at the candidates we have all over the country. >> appreciate your time. >> good to see you. >>> thanks, still ahead, who doesn't love a good goof up on or >>> following if candidates might be the best reality s

republican lawmakers are coming out against the president's proposal. marco rubio has been outspoken in the past about the administration's policy on cuba. today he took his argument to the campaign trail. >> we're not going to close guantanamo. in fact, we shouldn't be releasing the people that are there now. they are enemy combatants. >> the chairman of the armed services committee says while he feels the president's plan is a, quote, pr move, he's open to holding hearings about the future of gitmo. you can expect more coverage on this battle over guantanamo bay coming up at 6:30 on the cbs evening news with scott pelley. >> thank you, ginger. >> an update now to breaking news we've been following in volusia county. sky 6 is live over a big fire. this is happening near state road 415 and ashby cove lane between deltona and new smyrna beach. volusia county firefighters now tell us this is a controlled burn that jumped the lines. we're told no buildings are in danger right now. for you and bring you updates as they come in. >> well, we're just a day away from the next launch at the cape. that is, of course, if the weather

this as an opportunity to slam the obama administration and also the clinton administration >>> it was a bad night for marco rubio on the stage. >> reporter: he came here with a third place finish. he was the candidate that seemed to be representative of the establishment wing of the g.o.p., the republican party, for want of a better phrase, but he came under attack from chris christie. he was very much attacking him and him alone. suggesting that every answer was rehearsed. that make it difficult for marco rubio to make a comment. donald trump was not in iowa but back on stage. there was a moment where he shushed jeb bush and there were audible boos in the crowd which we have never heard before in relation to donald trump. he had a reasonable night. this was really a bad night for marco rubio, a goodnight for chris christie. remember it's 72 hours until the voters go to the polls here for the primaries. so there will be a lot of election earring being carried out in the next few hours. they won't be staying in after new hampshire. so it's about building support, getting votes and making sure the presidential dre

and yes, marco rubio said the obama administration should not do it because of precedent.ten. >> it's been over 80 years since a lame duck president has appointed a supreme court justice. >> that is a big claim. over 80 years. let's look back over some of the things that have happened in that period of time. franklin roosevelt, we know, did succeed in appointing somebody in 1940. that was an election year. it was the end of his second term. but there were no term limits then. he ran for a third term afterwards. we're not sure what to make of that. lyndon johnson tried to get a justice named. he didn't succeed. but it was in the end of his term. and ronald reagan appointed anthony kennedy in late 1987. it was approved in 1988. that was reagan's last year. now, are these exceptions? are these lame ducks? the question is what constitutes a lame duck? there is no legal definition. the other thing that complicates it is there aren't really many supreme court justices in the past 80 years who have decide in the court in the specific window in which you might have a lame duck pre

night, i thought the deal of the night was when i looked over to rubio, and i said you remember, and we don't want jokers in the administrationsaid, you're a joker and you're a liar. i have had a lot of difficulties with ted because he does lie, you know, i've dealt with much tougher. a guy like rubio is a baby but a guy like ted is tougher i well tell you, he's tougher, and he's smarter. ted is actually smarter. he's a smarter person than rubio. but i deal with people. last night, it was mentioned -- by the way, it was mentioned, my father gave me $200 million. oh, i wish. i wish. you know, first thing i did, get back, get a call from my sister who's a fantastic person, then i get a call from my brother who's a fantastic person. they said, hey, donald, that's not true, why did they say that? and he copied it -- you know, you have the failing "new york times." it's a failing newspaper. i hate to tell you. like seriously failing. they wrote an article, they put something in, about $200 million. believe me, i got very, very little. and i built it into many, many, many billions dollars and i'm very proud of it. i just think -- i

right now this administration doesn't do that. >> senator rubio, i want to ask you, you had said you do not want the telegraph the enemy what you would do as commander-in-chief, but for the american people watching tonight who want to know where the next president will and, do you believe waterboarding is torture? inwhen people talk about targeting terrorists, they're acting like this is some sort of law enforcement function. law enforcement is about gathering evidence to take someone to trial and convict temples the anti-terrorism about finding information to prevent a future attack. the same tactics do not apply. we should not be discussing in a widespread way the exact tactics that we're going to use because it allows terrorists and others to practice how to evade us. but the bigger problem with all of this, we not interrogating anybody right now. byntanamo is being emptied this president. we should be putting people into guantanamo, not ending it out and we should not be releasing these killers who are rejoining the battlefield against the united dates. amy: senator marco rubio a

why these outsiders are doing so well are fed up with the president and the administration that we have, and doesn't marco rubio represent the same thing, and shouldn't he have done better with nikki haley and trey gowdy, who i l e love, and tim scott? >> well, listen, he increased the poll number by 50% over what it was thursday, so the people did help him some. but listen, the only thing that on that respective resumes that barack obama and marco rubio have in common is one thing, the united states senate. but marco has used the five years in the senate to learn and intelligen intelligence, national security and foreign policy and to be truly well qualified in those areas. i can't remember that senator obama learned anything in the senate. you heard marco's story tonight, and it is appealing story to the american people that he is surrounded with immigrants and second-generation immigrants is go going to have great appeal not only to republicans in the country, but the folks in the general election. >> but you have to give trump credit for winning in a double-digit lead and the party heavyweights and the unit
