some of these ought to go talk to the people in iowa or the people in south carolina or new hampshire, as i have, and they ought to see what i see and hear what i hear. >> who is funding it right now? i know you have a good deal of money, but you're not in that top tier, and depending on the poll you're not on a tier, you make a very compelling case very funny very gregarious, and it surprises a lot of folks but i'm wondering how that connects with getting people -- i say i'm going to give me money. >> i'm not funding this campaign, we have donors funding this campaign . >> millions? >> by the way, frank and carly are worth a whole lot less than bill and hilary clinton. >> you need at least 10 million to make a credible run, you need 20 million to be there, do you think that? >> i don't have any concern about our ability to raise the money necessary to go the long haul. there are certain people who are going to have more. hilary clinton is going to be more . >> between 10 million and 20 million is that what you need? >> i have no concern . >> you're not going to tell me how much you h

folks in iowa new hampshire, and south carolina, and in iowa he has candidates there, potential candidates much more attractive, and in new hampshire, the state he is betting it's new hampshire orchris christie he said he had ahead steam but he has frittered it away and on the ground there in the last couple of days he is trying to regain that and regain some of the spotlight and some of the momentum. >> if he is able to regain the momentum of course, he is an established republican and he is attacking jeb bush on an issue that conservatives and liberals raised eyebrows there. >> he said he mis interpretinterpreted that question and jeb bush is always going to have the george w. bush both bush legacies hanging over his head, and you see christie joining in the frey. >> i found it interesting to appear on the sean hannity radio because he knew what he said was a serious gaffe. >> yeah i don't know if we have it here to play the sound -- we don't. you heard real conservatives say, listen this is something he made a gaffe on and in the conserve conservative radio, and this is going to be a constant recurring theme for jeb bush. this happened last week when he talked about his fore

iowa. i think eight or nine months before just the first one. much less new hampshire, south carolinarolina. and not everybody is going to stay in that long. money will run out. people will get tired. they will recognize they are not going to make a did he want in the polls and they'll start dribbling off certainly around the time of the iowa straw poll in august peel will people will not mesh you were there. by the time we get to the end of the year of 2015 and begin moving in to the evening numbered year that this field will self window and be down to probably the five or six people that have a legitimate shot and should have a legitimate shot. >> i think the point you make makes a lot of sense. talk. >> you but if we look at 2012. let's look at your old boss newt gene grieve. because he had financial backing he was deep in the primaries evening though he wasn't winning anything. rick santorum dropped out in april because he ran out of money he should won almost twice the number of delegates at newt gingrich but he could stay in the race. can you see that? >> sure more than ever bef

or believe it, why speak it? >> well, his audience, he has a very particular audience and it looks like iowa and folks in south carolina, he is not a candidate who is trying to pwauden the base, and he is not like rand paul who is trying to broaden the base even though he steps on his own message, but it's not surprising he said this. i don't know what it means, and he spwepb >> he is a historic president just by his background, but he never talked about race in society, and a black man with two lovely daughters and a loving wife, and why has pb pt he exploited that. that's a message that might resonate to democrats. >> i don't think it will resonate that well with democrats, and i could be wrong about that. >> there are plenty african-americans on his left that made that point, too. >> is that what push is trying to say. >> yeah, he is the messenger. >> you better be careful how you do it. >>> up next, the supreme court, same-sex marriage and fast-changing politics, and first, politics say the darnedest things, and his young interview takes issue with a run-on sentence. >> even the best writers usually, it's not that

or compromise. we in iowa, new hampshire and south carolina must not send forward another candidate into a presidentialage of his conviction or has no convictions at all. let us nominate a candidate with conservative conviction, convictions that match our own. i don't know what is worse both parties nominating candidates merely because they have well-known dynastic names or the conservative party nominating a candidate who will run to big government european solutions in the general election. are we going to do that sort of thing again? are we going to again have the liberal media laughing at us when they fake us into nominating someone who is too liberal for the country? >> no! >> when we win -- when we win -- excuse me, we win when we directly and unapologetically present our philosophy of liberty, unimpeded by big government and founded on individual sovereignty. we lose when we nominate rinos.

warning lights for people at "new york times" or beltway media, they don't seem to register with republican primary voters in places like iowa and south carolinaerhaps gets us in a tizzy here in the acela corridor new york and d.c. might not be such a problem in the heartland. >> right. it's certainly a fair question. okay so quickly, susan, betty mentioned fiorina. she ran a major company, and was dismissed. the media consider her a long shot because she's never held elected office. >> her experience, she touts mitt romney. not his tenure as governor he uses executive experience more to out to his candidacy for president. and so i think the fact that she can bring that to the table, she shouldn't be dismissed. the media really i think has been not -- i think it's more in defense of hillary clinton. she's a real threat i think to hillary clinton. and i think that's part of the reason you see the mainstream media going after her as hard as you are. >> the real question for the media with many candidates, i will close by saying this how many of them nine ten can't do more than that on a debate stage, how many will get the media oxygen. is it fai

iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, across the south. who are just flat-out anti-immigration, in any way, shape, or form. >> is funny thing is -- >> he's trying to make a virtue of necessity here. and i think it's probably smart for him. >> the ones they're not talking to, if they do, that will be jeb. but i'm thinking people, if the republicans will beat hillary. she's probably the democratic nominee. they have to appeal to suburban woman, who might not vote for a woman if she can find a superior republican candidate. they're not going to vote for some mediocre guy against hillary. and that's true with moderate men, who are for the suburbs. they're not going to vote for some yahoo, as you put it. they're going to vote for somebody who they can imagine as president, and a better president than hillary. and i think the republicans are having a hard time coming up with somebody who looks like they'll be a better president than hillary on quality. >> when you put into that mix, just these two issues, immigration and the war, then you're really talking about a very volatile situation for the republican candidates, because how do you have that con

or thereafter it will be winner take all. everyone is going to get a little bit of something. iowa new hampshire south carolina, nevada. march 1. in florida godzilla jeb bush versus marco rubio the distraction of the sunshine state they will win it all, but it is also the 1st big taxes georgia super tuesday thing. it will all be a great convention. >> host: c-span will be in cleveland gavel to gavel and , and we will also be in philadelphia. pat in palo alto california. you have been patient. >> caller: fortier chairman of committees in the house and senate. forty-eight way people. one white woman. i'm wondering, what kind of representation is the republican party trying to tell the american people? >> guest: and african-american from south carolina, probably not senior enough yet. committee chairmanship typically comes from the number of years you have been in a particular seat. i no that there are number of women who are in position of subcommittee chairmanship rising. most of these things are a function of seniority. while there is diversity in the republican party in the chairmanships which are functional longevity

iowa and new hampshire and south carolina later this week. >> i'm saying to people around this nation right now, stop being loyal to a party or a man and userain to think for yourself. >> former johns hopkins neuro surgeon ben carson made his announcement in hometown of detroit today and planned to travel to campaign in iowa but put that stop on hold so he could be with his ill mother in texas. tomorrow another republican will announce his 2016 bid. former arkansas governor mike huckabee is expected to launch his campaign in the hometown hope arkansas. huckabee lost his 2008 bid for the gop no, ma'ammination. >>> today's big announcement from mcdonald's ceo, it is not getting a great response on wall street. stock dipped. standard & poor's downgraded the credit rating to an a-minus. mcdonald's unveiled a new menu option to try to upgrade things including higher quality burgers, franchising 90% of the restaurants in the next 4 years. right now, 80% of mcdonald's are franchised. mcdonald's is also going to try delivery. it's only nowew york city. >>> high school and college football players may be more likely to suffer a concussion in practi

iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, we held them select the planks for the platform. we shaped those planks, send them, both them down, and in iowa, we hope to do this put one or two candidatesn the platform and ship them off to new hampshire. in new hampshire, they will look at that, shape it, turn it around, and maybe we will concur . and then they come down here to south carolina, and you look at them and you say, what kind of job did they do in iowa and new hampshire? and let's see, we have this other plank, let's make the platform a little different, let's empower this candidate a little bit differently. i like to make a recommendation, new hampshire can make a recommendation, but south carolina can put the kiss on the candidate of your choice. [applause] that is why this is important. if the candidate comes out of south carolina with a resounding victory, then the whole primary that looks like it will take place, will take your recommendation, and what happens? our values and arrive in the oval office with the president that believes like we do. [applause] all of the things that i have the privilege to do, like writing pieces of legislation, introducing them, trying to

iowa. i'll spend time in south carolina also. i don't think this style of mine which gets talked about all the time is something that's restricted to one particular state orry. i think i do pretty well any operations i went because i think people want the truth. i think the american people are mature enough to hear the truth. >> on the subject of your plan for 4% growth among the many propoles you had was to simplify the tax code. you don't want to vilify the wealthy but you don't feel the need to protect them either. yet this simplified tax code would reduce the tax rate for the top wage earners to 28% and the corporate tax down to 25%. given that you're not seeking to protect the wealthy, you're seeking to lower their tactions. how do you respond to the charge that you're just another republican looking to lower the taxes for the wealthy in. >> lower everyone's tactions. also lowering corporate taxes from 35% to 25% makes us competitive with the rest to have world is going to create jobs for the middle class. the president has created part-time work for the american people. and it's at a record now how many people have to have multiple par-time jobs to

south carolina. there was a poll in iowa a couple of months ago, and it said do you believe in more intervention, more foreign intervention like john mccain or less intervention like rand paul? almost evenly split. there is a good chunk of the republican party who thinks that we should think before we act, that war is not always the answer, that war may be the last resort, not the first resort that we have to defend ourselves. we have to have a strong national defense but that sometimes we've intervened in the middle east and sometimes we've had unintended consequences, and i don't know how you can be honest intellectual person to take an approach in the middle east and not believe that we've gotten some things that we really didn't intend to happen. >> i think the polling shows that you're right. i mean beating hillary clinton in a fairly recent poll in pennsylvania head-to-head and doing best head-to-head with her nationally and everybody else in your party is trying to be a hawk and you're the only one that says i don't think the american republican voter, the religion republican, not the neo-con, not someone who reads "the weekly standar

essentially to the right-leaning caucus goer for candidates for iowa south carolina and southern state primary. he provides some kind of contrast ornst huckabee going up against potentially bobby jindal. >> why? what's in it for him? >> for rick? >> do you think he has a realistic chance of being candidate? >> he did well last time. >> he did well. mike huckabee did well the time before that. all of them see themselves as the viable person to represent the christian conservative evangelical base of the republican establishment, the republican party. they are going to -- because they truly believe what they are saying. and they believe they are representing a part of the country that they think they can espouse their values best. more power to them. that's what this country should be about believe what they say and codify those into the party. >> shows how different this race is on the republican side. traditionally the candidate that basically came in second in the republican primaries has been teed up to be the conventional wisdom front runner the next time around. not the case with rick santorum. he's having a hard time hitting

south carolina is one of the most important early primary states coming right after iowa new hampshire. it provided a big opportunity for either a conservative insurgeant to emerge. it is a conservative state orto put away the opposition. this is where john mccain's victory and george w. bush's victory in 2000 sealed nomination. distinguishing themselves can be tough. if you see with the case of governors a lot of talk about individual records. stock walker talked about how he took on unions in wisconsin, rick perry about job creation. rick santorum with the new issue position that no other candidate has called for a 25% reduction in legal immigration. candidates are very low to go after legal immigration. >> besides jeb bush of course, he is at liberty university any word why rand paul and chris christie are not there? >> reporter: after talking to organizers i have been told that pretty much everyone was given an invite. there were no snubs. a lot of people who aren't here today have appeared at other summits by the same organizers. rand paul is off in silicon valley for a tech event. jeb bush as you saw at liberty university. there is a variety of scheduling conflicts that candidates are c
