why didn't i take marco with me so my mother could meet her grandson? but marco needs a visa so he can travel with me to the united states. so medhat, marco and i went to the american embassy for me to get marco's visa. >> number 4 please? >> i came to the window. he said -- >> can i see your paperwork, please? >> sure. >> so i was picturing getting to new york and there i was with marco and picturing that my mother would be so happy to meet him. he came back -- >> are you american? >> i said, yes. >> i'm sorry. we are not going to be able to issue a visa for your son. >> your son has to travel on an american passport. >> we need to you fill out this application. >> he hands me the application. i saw a place that i have to sign that i am his birth mother. it literally scared me to death. i have to lie in front of the embassy official. i had already said i am never going to lie on any document ever again. right then, had i just walked out, maybe everything would have been different. but instead i just lost it. >> i don't have time for that. i need to trav

marco rubio does. and soand paul called out marco rubio on just how strong a policy he has on national security. >> so marco can't have it both ways. he thinks he wants to be this, oh, i'm great and strong on national defense but he is the weakest of all the candidates on immigration. he is the one for an open border that is leaving us defenseless. if we want to defend the country we have to defense those coming in and marco has more of an allegiance to charles schumer and to the liberals than to conservative policy. [ applause and cheers ] remembers paul received applause but so did -- >> reporter: paul received applause but so did rubio in his response saying a lot of information is important following terrorist attacks like what happened in san bernardino. federal agency to have access to cell phone records. that's why he recently voted against a bill that dealt with this. so marco rubio, ted cruz we'll look out for them tonight to be under attack more from the other candidates. >> right. danielle nottingh

you could see the senate whip over to the democratic party" "you could even see the house flip" so marco rubio is selling himself as a proven winner ben carson is pressing on sot: ben carson presidential candidate 1:04-1:06 abortion" hillary clinton indicated today she's been appalled by the gop front runner sot: hillary clinton presidential candidate 1:11- 1:15"when donald trump began making racism and hate the hallmarks of his campaign" but 60% of american voters say hillary clinton is not honest and trustworthy there's another number that worries republican leaders. the quinnipiac poll shows he has a 27- percent unfavorable rating amongst republicans. that's twice as high as any other candidate in the field. say goodbye to the snow and hello to much warmer temperatures. we are going to see 40s, and even 50s by the weekend. more heat is set up for much of next week. it may not look like christmas, but for pre-holiday travel and busy shopping time, it will be great. dry weather is expected through the seven day. say goodbye to the snow and hello to much warmer temperatures. we are going

facing a new lawsuit in brazil after another disaster, so marco is hit with a $79 samarco civil lawsuit -- is hit with a $79 million civil lawsuit. filing is a prosecutor the claim, and it is one of the smaller lawsuits. is smaller but it is not exactly pocket change. it would be used to fund housing for those who survived the natural disaster. the prosecution is saying that samarco failedt to prevent this and that is why the lawsuit has been filed. take a look at the shares, they are at 1.3%, although there is a lot more playing at that besides just these losses. samarco is half owned by bhp. this is compensation for environmental and social impact. so now there is a number of .awsuits just this week in new york, there was a major suit from the brazilian government which is worth $5.2 billion. so themedia disaster -- immediate disaster may be over but the aftermath is just getting started. yvonne: paul allen joining us live from sydney. thank you. joining us shery ahn now. shery: we have the latest health check the economy. the numbers are expected to underscore the nature of the count

so y could see marco rubio benefiting from that a little bit. you're right, not a lot of voters right now in that lane. >> not a lot of voters and, willie, you look "new york times" article talking about how ted cruz sort of doing a mind meld with donald trump. he's starting to sound more like donald trump out on the campaign trail. >> using his words. >> getting more aggressive. using his words and using his ideas and what we've talked about over the last debate, a deal between these two to basically shut everybody else out. whether it's direct or indirect, they both know what they're doing and it's both working wonderfully well for them. they are shutting out everybody else. >> i think the debate was the first time everyone noticed how close ted cruz was hugging ted cruz just broadly. he's been doing this for a long time. he's been drafting behind ted cruz behind trump to use a nascar metaphor. refusing to criticize him any significant way. even when trump came out the plan to ban muslims and ted cruz was the one hold out who said i don't agre

then, trump's support hit a high and so did marco rubio's and ted cruz's ...while the newcomer, carson's, support sagged. after the isis attacks in paris. chris christie today: presidential candidate"new is great! until you need experience. to show that he's ready, carson visited syrian refugees in jordan and said today we should help them there not bring them to the u-s presidential candidate"why do things that just make some people feel good and say that we've done something." rubio, running second in new hampshire, is playing up his youth. ted cruz in iowa, mocked the charge that he'd cut access to birth control presidential candidate"last i checked, we don't have a rubber shortage in america. ." donald trump warned cnn about the next republican faceoff december 15th presidential candidate"i won't do the debate unless they pay me 5 million dollars all of which goes to wounded warriors or to vets cheers! seriously" the billionaire said he might debate ..worried he'd be called a chicken if he doesn't steve handelsman reporting. while trump is leading in a lot of the early states...histo

anna, as we like to say, as a republican strategist, a supporter of jeb bush, a friend of marco rubio, a friend of so we have to list marco rubio. >> friend of a couple. >> thousands. i would like to start not with donald trump here. we talk so much about trump. one of the most interesting dynamics on the stage tuesday night might be between marco rubio and ted cruz. we got a little preview of that the last debate. this time it will be bigger and i think perhaps more contentious. we have a taste of it this morning. let's listen to what marco rubio had to say. >> he talks tough on some of these issues, for example, he's going to carpet bomb isis, but the only budget he's ever voted for in his time in the gnat senate is a budge tote cut defense spending by more than president obama proposes we cut it. voted against the defense reauthorization act every year it came up. if that's the bill that funds our troops. i guess my point is each time he's had to choose between strong national defense and some of the isolationist tendencies of american politics he seems to side with the ace lagsi olation. this is

so marco rubio said, ted, that makes you look weak on national security.e in privacy and the fourth amendment and the fact that americans have constitutional right to not be spied on in this way. and so this is a very real debate that's been happening in the republican party for a long time. i would love to see it flush out in the main stage because it kind of gets back to the constitutional groups where the tea party started and all these concerns we have of mass data collection by the government. >> but then you still have people like donald trump saying, hey, listen, we should maybe shut down the internet in some ways. at least people should be surveilled, bob beckel, there will be an interesting fight over security, i think, and probably not just among ted cruz and marco rubio, but for a number of candidates occupy that stage. >> it's an interesting thing. i think you're exactly right, the patriot act will become a point for debate. do we try to attack trump or go after kroousz? there will be three people who survive iowa. the rest of them will hang on

. >> reporter: 17 points behind donald trump on october 1st, he rose to a tie in november. so did marco rubio's and ted cruz's. his points sagged after the isis attacks in paris. chris christie today. >> it's great until a new experience. until the really tough moment comes. >> reporter: to show he's ready, carson visited refugees in syria and said, we should help them there, not bring them to the u.s. >> why do things just to make us feel good and say we've done something? >> reporter: rubio now running second in new hampshire is playing up his youth. ted cruz mocked the rumor that he would cut access to birth control. >> last time i checked, we don't have a rubber shortage in america. >> reporter: donald trump warned cnn about the next republican face-off december 15th. >> i won't do the debate unless they pay me $5 million, all of which money goes to the wounded warriors or go to vets. >> reporter: the billionaire said he might debate, worried he and trump says he is not a chicken. he definitely tops the pecking order in republican polls, running first now in iowa where the vote is t

. >> so marco can't have it both ways.thinks he wants to be this oh, i'm great, strong on national defense, but he's the weakest of all on immigration, he is the one for an open border leaving us defenseless. if we want to defend the doesn't, we have to defend against those coming in and marco has more of an allegiance to chuck schumer and the liberals than conservative policy. >> ifill: we can attribute the look on marco rubio's face he doesn't believe it's true. what do you think? >> we didn't either. we rated rand paul's statement that marco doesn't support guarding borders as pants on fire. rubio supported comprehensive legislation, passed in the senate and never became law. it included border agents to increase security. open borders implies that there would be a border where people could come back and forth freely with very minimal checks. that's not at all what marco rubio supported. rand paul may have a point he supported the immigration legislation when other candidates did not but to say he supports open borders

might now be more important to voters than being a new face, trump's polls are at an all time high so are marco rubio's. he's polling second in new hampshire ted cruz is at his high point. one poll shows him just 3 points behind trump in iowa trump grabbed headlines today demanding cnn pay him 5 million dollars to show up at the next he says he'd give to needy veterans...but trump says he might debate so he won't be called a chicken a gas tanker caught fire on the 15 freeway in lake elsinore tuesday afternoon, prompting freeway closures. all traffic was being diverted off the freeway at lake as of 1:30 p.m., according to california highway patrol logs. the fire was first reported at 1:05 p.m. on the right shoulder of the freeway north of nichols road. the tanker was reportedly carrying 8,700 gallons of fuel when a tire shredded, contributing to the fire, according to chp. fire crews have responded and there is currently no estimated time for when the freeway may reopen. reported. more cold air tonight and a gusty wind will make the wind the teens. we will have a few left-over flurries tonight a

side are trying to figure out what they're going to do over the course of the next six weeks or so. marco different position. >> where he'd like to be probably is more of a matchup with him and ted cruz? >> for a long time donald trump and ben carson were leading nationally and cruz and rubio were trailing around a little behind them. rubio hasn't really gone anywhere. i think part of it is the establishment trend is that they're not doing well this election cycle. this will change as voters start coming out, paying more attention early next year. there's no reason to panic necessarily. >> is there a sense as to whether more people will be coming out in the primaries this year? >> a lot of evidence suggests we'll see more energy. we'll see huge rallies for sanders and lots of people watching the debates as well. whether or not that translates to people coming out to the polls, we're not sure how that correlates. >> especially because some of the voters that we now they're really connecting with. these are vote who are have checked out of the process because they feel left behind. >> he te

but so is marco rubio, so is chris christie.is christie, the governor of new jersey, right after -- not too long after 9/11 he was attorney general for new jersey be before that. he's got a lot of experience tackling terrorism. marco rubio's got a ton of experience in the senate at least working on this stuff. but i think americans who are reacting at least initially with kind of fear and what the heck is going on, it took us days to figure out what was going on with this shooting, they're going to look towards someone more familiar, and donald trump is completely positioned to harness that. jon: christopher, republicans have essentially accused the president of trying to deflect attention from the fact that this appears to be an incidence of domestic israelic terrorism, and that is islamic terrorism on american soil, and turning it into an issue about gun control. >> well, i think that's fairly predictable. the president's got a gun control agenda. but he also, i think, has kind of resigned himself to not getting that across th

marco's not telling the truth. look, i understand that the washington establishment is in panic. because conservatives are uniting behind our campaign and so, what marco -- >> i'm not worried about senator rubio or the washington -- i'm trying to understand this and just so i -- is that you want this amendment to be part of the bill because -- poison pill. >> what did my amendment say? >> no citizenship. >> right. >> didn't say a word about legalization. >> well -- you and i read this letter differently. >> you can read the amendment. it says no citizenship. that's it. one page. no citizenship. period, the end, that's all it says. zpl so, this letter with your name on it, that's just -- >> no, what the letter -- by the way, this is how we beat the gang of eight. back to 2013. you remember it well. 2013. the proponents of f the gang of eight. chuck schumer, rubio, they were on tv, puffing their chests out saying we have the votes to pass it. jam it through the senate, then republican leadership in the house is going to pass it. we led the fight to defeat it and we tack it to the people. one of the moments where the people -- is in the middl

marco rubio down 12.8% so my question to you is how important what i wet, new hampshire be for marco rubio? >> iowa is not important to marco rubio and might not be important primary season as a caucus state because historically they have not picked the winner. the main thing about iron what is it it was anybody the donald trump that is important because it builds momentum for the person who wins and knocks donald trump down a peg. new hampshire, the secret ballot, that has been important because if marco rubio shows there he gets to move down from south carolina and other states where he has the strength. to knock donald trump bought in iowa and new hampshire, it is shaky ground for donald trump to continue because momentum will be with others. that brings money, enthusiasm and attention to other candidate so i think marco rubio is playing a long game and donald trump thinks he can win in the first couple states which if that happens would be fantastic but doesn't look that way. lea: itc both of you. eric: new development in the capture of the so-called affluenza team and his mom, h

if republicans are looking for a way forward and new path, marco rubio says he is that type of candidate. so far all of the dynamics to watch on stage tonight, ted cruz and marco rubio are certainly among the top. john. >> trump, cruz, rubio, just some of the story lines to follow here on the debate stage. there are so many more. chris christie has seen a bump in new hampshire polls. enough to put him back on the main stage after a detour at the under card. christie picked up an endor endorsement in new hampshire. jeb bush who has slipped a lot in most national polling. he was in las vegas early. he had a new attack on donald trump. he sat down with the editorial board of the general review newspaper. bush said trump exploits voters disgust with washington for his own political advantage. >> he is not a serious person. he is a masterful politician. he, as i described it, he uses dog whistle language to divide the country. i cannot imagine donald trump becoming president because he would never win. he would never win. hillary clinton would clean him. >> all right. what about carly fiorina? sh

the major difference between national security and homeland security between marco rubio and ted cruz? >> i am a navy pilot, so very seriously. when marco voted against the usa freedom act which had a number , of critical important authorities for national including lone wolves. that tool has been used over and over again. marco rubio voted against it. senator cruz not only voted for it he supported it and , cosponsored the bill. when it comes to national security, i think ted cruz has the edge on marco rubio. john: how do you feel when you hear marco rubio hitting back against ted cruz on questions of foreign policy. try to paint ted cruz as if you were rand paul. >> this is a distraction. marco rubio is part of the gang of eight who provided amnesty for millions of people that are here illegally without securing the southern border of the united states. the american people are aware that, and by the way, that is terrible for national security. marco rubio knows that. he knows will be an issue so he is trying to distract people. mark: why hasn't that come up as an issue so far. ? >> i've been talking about ev

neil: so marco rubio is getting big support from some very impressive billionaires.hat do you think of that? >> it's not something that i would do. i would never be associated with such a thing. you know, he can do what he'd like to do. i'm just telling you how i am. and i believe that one of the biggest problems that we have in this country is that we've taken it out of the hands of the people, and we've put it in the hands of special interest groups and politicians. this is not what america was supposed to be. neil: do you agree with donald trump, it's that kind of backing from very rich guys says you're bought and paid for? >> that's all very nice for him to say, but he was one of the people who bought and paid for people. [laughter] that's kind of hypocritical for him to say that. neil: hmm. i read this washington post story that you did. two things amazed me, that you, dr. ben carson, acclaimed surgeon the world over, has a man cave, which was really cool. i never knew that. and that you sounded despondent isn't the word, but maybe passive aggressive angry at th

so is marco rubio and ben carson, who both took digs at cruz ahead of tomorrow's gop debate. in washington, i'm nikole killion. eric: tomorrow's debate takes place in las vegas. many of the candidates are holding events there today, including donald trump, marco rubio, mike huckabee and jeb bush. elizabeth: the time is 6:10, you will definitely want your umbrella this morning. metinka: and a warm coat, a very raw day. we are watching a variety of precipitation that looks like a pack of lifesavers early this morning across the state. we have all colors on the radar. the green is where we have the steady rainfall. the rain picks up in intensity toward ames and mixes with snow as you head out toward the west. reports from audubon and atlantic snowflakes coming down, even toward algona. the north, close to 40 miles an hour at times. we are expecting the rain to come to an end around noon time today, and temperatures today stay just above freezing. elizabeth: sports news now, iowa state men's basketball is still ranked fourth in the nation, and they faced an easy opponent sunday a

so far. senator marco rubio had one of the most talked about performances of the debate. and today hallie jackson traveled exclusively with him, and donald trump came out swinging. >> donald trump sticking the landing on a victory lap, like he is the nominee, a day after promising if he is not, he won't run as an independent. >> i'm totally committed to the republican party. i feel honored to be the front-runner. >> reporter: the donald trump battle everyone expected with ted cruz never materialized. but one with jeb bush did. >> you will never be president of the united states by -- insulting your way to the presidency. >> i'm at 42, you're at 3. >> last night i have jeb come at me. low energy. >> and in another corner, cruz versus rubio hammering over national security and immigration. >> the ted cruz rule out ever legalizing people in this country illegally now. >> senator cruz? >> i will -- i have never supported legalization and i do not intend to support it. >> cruz counter punch aimed at the pathway to citizenship, part of the immigration reform he tried to pass in

marco rubio has consistently beaten her, more so than any other prominent candidate. me states he does a little bit better. now ted cruz has gotten a great deal of the attention. but again, one on one, he's one of the few that beats her and consistently so. that's hillary clinton. the read now from our poll, a big backer for marco rubio. they still think this is the guy who can finish this up and win the republican nomination. it w it's great having you here. thanks for coming. >> nice being here. >> what do you make of the talk show appearances, senator rubio took a bit more time of distinguishing himself from president cruz. is he worried? are you worried? >> i'm not worried at all. i think it's very clear marco rubio from his experience not only in the u.s. senate, which ted cruz has, but also in the florida general assembly. marco rubio has actually worked on making americans' lives better. his defense of the united nation shows that he is the person to lead us, make america safer, and his domestic policies, i think, will make americans more prosperous, give us mor

none more so than marco rubio focusing his eye on ted cruz.hrown back at him at a rally in iowa. >> everyone on that stage talks tough. it's easy. i can stand here this morning and say we're going to utterly destroy isis, we're going to blow them up and make the sand glow. that's easy to say. what are you going to do it with? >>> jeb bush also hitting his favorite target, donald trump. and hear what he said about donald trump during an interview on "morning joe." take a look. >> it was a commander-in-chief debate in many ways. and i don't know if the front running candidate fared that well. >> chris matthews speaking with donald trump after the big debate and discovered the one question trump won't answer. is he still a birther? >> i don't answer that question because once i answer the question -- i don't want to answer the question. >> so we have a serious of reports covering the developments on the gop political front-runner, let's

nikole: and trump not the only one taking aim, so is marco rubio and ben carson who both took digs at cruz ahead of tomorrow's gop debate. in washington i'm nikole killion. eric: tomorrow's debate takes place in las vegas. events there today, including donald trump, marco rubio, mike huckabee and jeb bush. metinka: we could use a break. we picked up over three inches of rainfall in central iowa. upwards of five toward waterloo. it is hard to believe it is december. it is still raining cats and dogs. we have some moderate to heavy rainfall right along the i-80 corridor through ankeny, a debtor -- adair. we have another band of moderate rain toward fort dodge. once again, we had three inches. it started saturday evening, lasting through sunday. today, the rain will become into an end by noon. chilly into the 40's but staying above freezing. elizabeth: sports news now, iowa state men's basketball is still ranked fourth in the nation and sunday at hilton coliseum. eric: the cyclones took on only two wins this season. coach steve prohm decided this ace naz long a break to rest his hips aft

trump on october 1st, carson rose to a tie in mid-november, then trump's support hit a high and so did marcobio's and ted cruz's, while the newcomer carson's support sags. after the isis attacks in paris, chris christie today. >> great, experience, i felt a tough moment come. >> reporter: to show that he's ready, carson visited syrian refugees in jordan and said today we should help them there, not bring them to the u.s. >> why do things that make some people feel good and say we've done something? >> reporter: rubio running second now in new hampshire is playing up his youth. ted cruz in iowa marked the charge that he connects to birth control. >> last i checked don't have a rubber shortage in america. >> reporter: donald trump warned cnn about the next republican face-off december 15th. >> i won't do the debate unless they pay me $5 million, all of which money goes to the wounded warriors or go to vets. >> reporter: the billionaire said he might debate, worried he'd be called a chicken if he doesn't. i'm steve handelsman, nbc news, washington. >>> a little less green on radar than we did e

the benghazi process has been, conservatives look at trey gowdy and see a rock solid conservative so marcofully touting this as something that's a big positive for his campaign. trey gowdy said he did it because he believes senator rubio is the best on national security and public safety in an election that will be in many ways about how to deal with isis and national security. >> this campaign, this election is really been all sort of anti-congress. so -- >> does having the support of a congressman in your camp actually help you? >> well, we'll ask them both. we're going to have senator rubio on shortly followed by congressman trey gowdy. we've got a great duo. in the mean time heather nauert has been watching all of the headlines for us and has those, good morning, heather. >> good morning to you all. we've been watching that weather so carefully right now. we begin with a look at that. you're looking live at flooding that is taking place in st. louis, missouri, at this hour. take a look at that. the national guard has now been activated, and evacuations are under way near st. louis. oh,

among other things it said marco's a risky bet. sose little battles that seem to be taking a lot of your attention away. what is your reaction to trump, why are you going after marco so hard? it seemed like you were friends going into this. >> he's my friend and he's a skilled politician for sure. but i believe we need someone who has a proven record to go against hillary clinton. her record is one of lack of accomplishment. she's passed in ten years as a united states senator naming a highway after tim russert, a monument and a post office. >> i don't mean to laugh. that's not exactly an accomplishment. >> ten years. ten years, that's it. >> but that's not exactly a big accomplishment. >> yeah. i totally get it. and in foreign policy, after the benghazi hearings, where she said, in fact, that this was created by islamic terrorism after denial after denial after denial and 600-plus e-mails from the embassy in libya saying that they had a security risk and no action taken. i think we need someone that has a record of accomplishment. th

so when hillary clinton and marco rubio say we need to topple kadafi in libya, it actually made it worse because when they toppled kadafi we got a failed state, we got the rise of isis and the radical situation of libya. they want the same thing in syria. if assad is gone in syria what maybe isis controls all of syria. i think we need to rethink what we're doing in the middle east and think before we act. >> people talk about the keystone pipeline but here in iowa the back inpipeline, potentially using eminent domain to get the land, what do you think of that? >> i'm against it. now, i know in iowa they say if it's utility, they can use eminent domain. problem is i'm not sure how you define it as a utility if you're not actually using anything out of that pipeline. my understanding is the pipeline will go all the way under iowa but not like people are taking oil or gas out of that pipeline to use for electricity. it's just a transit. and so i think we should be very weary of using eminent domain. it's a big disagreement i have with donald trump. he believes you should able to take it for

i always have and i always will. >> so marco rubio is saying that cruz originally supported that bipartisangalization. ted cruz saying no, that this is a falsehood. who is right? >> well, rubio supported a path to citizenship. it's clear that cruz never supported that. what rubio's saying is that cruz supported the path to legal status. the rubio campaign's done a good job of fuzzing this up. cruz had some receipt are ache that read on its face suggests that rubio's telling the truth and being accurate. cruz has a stronger argument to make on the facts. what he was proposing was so-called poison pill that would kill the legislation. it's a little bit of a cynical maneuver. that's partly why you see cruz both there and in recent sp interviews not speaking about this in the most relaxed way because it's all very complex. rubio, though he's doing better on this issue with the republican base by mixing things up. his day will come. someone will run a negative ad about him, i'm almost certain, talking about that he worked with chuck schumer for a path to citizenship. cruz, again, is going to hav

so, you know, they very much resent him. and then he's also taking pride, cruz is, in reminding people that he actually fought marco rubio on his immigration plans. so he can kind of stand out in the, you know, as sort of the fire against immigration versus poor marco, who is trying to do, what i think most americans should be done. >> john, just last -- sorry, go ahead, jeff. >> anderson, one thing that i think we're not thinking about here, in all the presidential history, only three united states senators have gone from the senate to the white house directly. president obama, president kennedy, and president warren harding. we've had lots and lots and lots of senators, some of them very well known, like ted kennedy, barry goldwater, george mcgovern, others who either run for president and get the nomination or get the nomination and lose the white house itself, so i think that perhaps where we may be looking at a phenomenon here of two senators battling here, and whether or not they'll emerge, whether their job itself is innately a problem for them. i think we'll find out. >> that's interesting. >> john, how long do you s

bobby gin dashlgsjindal, and he the race, and is so a marco rubio and ted cruz may not see the advantage of taking him on frontal, but they may want to wait to see how iowa and new hampshire shake out before they switch the strategy. >> and one thing is that is interesting is that it is not an all-out attack, but in the debate they did not say mr. t m trump, but they said donald or th that, and we are going to be bringing down the respectability factor a a little bit. you are one of your tears sfwlcht and donald trump is larger than life, a nd he has brought something to the race that nobody ever thought would come to the race. so you have to pick the opportunities to go after him. at some point, you know, when he continues to lead by double-digits in the early states you have the take him on and you are running out of time. >> and can any of the republicans catch up to him? >> well, anything is possible at this point, because we have a long ways to go, and people have been talking about donald trump's demise since the john mccain segment in july in iowa and we are in the middle of decem

it's really funny because he was so supportive of marco rubio just a few years back. ey were so tight. this is what americans can't stand about politics. now he's criticizing marco left and right. weren't you telling us how great this guy was a couple of years ago? what made you change your mind? because politically that's what he has to do. he needs to rely on himself. be the kind of candidate that can step on the debate stage and inspire confidence. he looks angry, not confident. he looks like the donald trump and every other candidate on the stage takes the mike away from him easily and makes him look nervous like he's not the man fit for the job. that's the issue. instead of picking on rubio's voting record, he should be concerned for himself. >> another thing that strikes me about this ad, i think marco rubio has the most natural predators of anyone in this field. trump hates him on immigration, cruz hates him because he's potential competition for the conservative vote. jeb, christie and kasich are competing with him in new hampshire for the non-trump, non-cruz v

that stuff about legalizing illegal immigrants is so inherently interesting to me because marco rubio was pro. there was a point when it seemed as so that was a reasonable position to take. now, the campaign has gone under way. and it's the primaries. and you're appealing to primary voters. and you have to say you're never for it. it's a game as much as anything else. >> that's a good point. people recalibrate. they get to one side, an extreme. and have to go another direction sometimes. >> it's one of the things that disillusions peoples in politics. where you stand on legalizing illegal immigrants, it's still clear that some people in this race held one position. and now, they're running for office, old another position. and i wonder if you are against legalizing illegal immigrants, you would rather people had a consistent principle. does that make sense? >> the translation of what you just said is -- that sometimes people in politics don't represent what they truly believe in their heart. >> no one ever thought of that before. have i come up with a blinding -- is that as blinding -

. >> that is why i'm so opt miss stick. >> marco rubio is running third and chris christie is surging in new hampshire. trump was back in attack mode where spotting by phone. >> he is becoming isis' best recruiter. they are going to people showing videos of donald trump insulting islam and muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists. >> just another hillary lies, she lies like crazy about everything. holds caucasian caucuses. >> multiple reports that the patriots is adding steven jackson to injury depleted roster, the 32-year-old tweeted, i'm back. the pats had him for workout last week and he has a history with josh mcdanielles having played for him in st. louis. the pats, if you missed this, clinched first round playoffs bye yesterday. and begun, the pats childrenning that playoff spot the bye yesterday. we have you covered from start to finish right here on wbz we are going to kick things off with the patriots. post game show is right after the game. all right here on wbz. >> really hammering home, that is a good thing though, the pats clinching that first round bye cap. >>>

that was before the attacks did occur so marco rubio has been strong on that point i'm not sure if thatmp are when you see trump not necessarily have great debates but yet he's still doing it very well in the polls. >> he sure is. it's 7:00 in the morning where you are now. you know, nobody gets up at 7:00 in the morning in las vegas. nobody, that's why -- in the background. >> people gong to the hotel room to go to bed right now. they're on their way. [laughter] >> thanks very much for getting up early in the morning in las vegas we do appreciate it. thanks katy. >> see you soon, bye. all of the packages for christmas are might be taking longer to get to you this year incase you missed it potential >> do not procrastinate this year online orders take 20% longer to be delivered according to "the wall street journal." more packages are being shipped and deliveries are taking about 20% longer so put that into your calculations as you buy stuff online. a man pounds this 1969 dodge charger daytona in his barn. pretty beat up, that doesn't even start actually. but it could still be worth up

rubio, tim scott has done everything but endorse marco rubio. soaybe tim scott will be the first domino to fall. >> nearly all the republican candidates plan new hampshire stops between christmas and new year's. in years past it's been quiet in new hampshire. but the new hampshire crowd this year why? in part it's because of the widely held view that ted cruz looks pretty solid in iowa and his rivals are looking for a chance to win elsewhere. there's a sense if donald trump loses iowa and his winning brand is called into question there could be a big and sudden resuccessfuling in new hampshire. marco rubio's team knows its candidates snopt leading anywhere and hoping to generate a surge. and take this one as you wish, two veteran new hampshire operatives working for other campaigns says they are seeing signs it may be premature to write off jeb bush. pre-season is over. time to play. thanks for sharing your sunday morning with us. we'll see you in the new year. "state of the union" with jake tapper starts right now. >>> the final push. just days be

trump on october 1st carson rose to a tie in mid-november, then trump's support hit a high and so did marco rubio's and ted cruz's, while the newcomer's, carson's support sagged. after the isis attacks in paris. chris christie today. >> it was great. you need experience when the tough moment comes. >> reporter: carson visited syrian refugees in jordan and said today, we should help them there, not bring them to the u.s. >> why do things that just make people feel good and say that we've done something? >> reporter: rubio running second now in new hampshire is playing up his youth. ted cruz in iowa mocked the charge that he'd cut access to birth control. >> last i checked, we don't have a rubber shortage in america. >> reporter: donald trump warned cnn about the next republican face-off december 15th. >> i won't do the debate unless they pay me $5 million, all of which money goes to the wounded warriors or go to vets. >> reporter: the billionaire said he might debate, worried he'd be called a chicken if he doesn't. but trump tops the pecking order in republican polls. first in iowa, where th
