don't underestimate. any young guy can take over from his father with all the generals and any body else who want the position. this is not somebody to be underestimated. because china has control, absolute control of north korea. they do. and they should make that problem disappear. china is sucking us dry. they're taking our money. they're taking our jobs. they're doing so much. we have rebuilt china with what they have taken out. we have power over china. china should do that. now, iran. >> force the chinese to take care of north korea. >> force the chinese to do it. >> economically, charlie. they're suck the money out of us. year with china $500 billion. they're taking money out of our country. they're taking our jobs. >> they hold all our debt too. >> you know what, we owe them, think of it. they take our money. they take our jobs. they take our base. and guess what we owe, we owe them $1.7 trillion. we have a lot of power over china. don't underestimate. >> you would leave it up to the chinese? >> i

i did make the debate stage and i hope they keep on underestimating me. >> reporter: today's primary has the do-or-die potential for candidates at the bottom. they vow to continue to upcoming contests, including south carolina and nevada. kenneth molten, manchester, new hampshire. >> and john kosich is the only local reporter on the ground in new hampshire. he will keep us updated on the head to the polls in this presidential primary season. >>> and today is fat tuesday, mardi gras. new orleans is celebrating with parades between 11 floats and customs and marching band says.

it's easy to underestimate how important shame is in american politics but shame is our most powerful restraint on politicians who find success through demagoguery. "what do you mean by that? >> two things set trump apart. the buchanan example is good here. trump inspires a lot of comparisons to buchanan. there's a sort of economic nationalist anti-immigrant, anti-establishment vibe to both of them. but something about trump is that he's unbounded by the normal ways that we constrain politicians so one piece of that is shame as i mentioned in the piece. trump has this reality television star's ability to not be here to make friends. he does not care what you think of him. he does not care what party elders think of him. he does not feel as most politicians do feel shame and upset when the media says he's lying or when policy experts say that his policies don't make any sense. he enjoys backlash and he is fine with it. the other thing, i think this is also important, he's not connected to any of the

don't underestimate. any young guy can take over from his father with all the generals and any body else who want the position. this is not somebody to be underestimated. because china has control, absolute control of north korea. they don't say it. they do. and they should make that problem disappear. china is sucking us dry. they're taking our money. they're doing so much. we have rebuilt china with what they have taken out. we have power over china. china should do that. now, iran. >> force the chinese to take care of north korea. >> force the chinese to do it. >> economically, charlie. they're suck the money outf us. we have a trade deficit this year with china $500 billion. they're taking money out of our country. they're taking our jobs. >> they hold all our debt too. >> you know what, we owe them, think of it. they take our money. they take our jobs. they take our base. and guess what we owe, we owe them $1.7 trillion. we have a lot of power over china. don't underestimate. >> you would leave it up

she underestimated bernie sanders. this time he is, as you say, not even a democrat. he's an independent, a democratic socialist. he's 74 years old, a lifelong stunned them with the vigor of this campaign and with his fund-raising ability, so she is now in a neck and neck fight, and if he were to win, she is going to be in the fight of her life. lester. >> and, chuck, let me bring you into this on the gop side, trump and cruz. what are you going to be watching for tonight that we should all be looking at? >> reporter: well, one thing is if past is prologue the candidate of the evangelicals, the more christian conservatives usually under polls and overperform, and so if ted cruz -- it wouldn't be a shock if ted cruz wins because a lot of times evangelicals don't show up in the polling. rick santorum and mike huckabee ended overperforming their results, but lester, let's take a bigger step here and realize both political parties tonight could be staring into the abyss. donald trump and bernie sanders, if they both squeak sweep, this is such a rebuke to the american poli

in new hampshire and all the way through. >> are you underestimating, paul? >> no. george bush would say, misunderestimating him? bill is a friend of mine. we're pals. you know this, from the day hillary announced i said he's going to have it tough. i went back and checked, six months ago i said she won't hit 52 in iowa. she didn't. i don't discount it, but i can do math and i can read polls and bernie's strength is among white liberals. white liberals are lovely people but they're not the entire democratic party. he has to grow. barack obama could grow. >> say she lost by -- >> she's losing today by that -- who cares? >> i want to say if she loses -- wins, rather, only by .3 of a percent in iowa and loses by 23 in new hampshire, that certainly does not project the aura of invincibility. the other thing is bernie supporters -- look at the young -- look at the young people with bernie. he got, what, 70%, 80% of people under 45. they're the barack obama voters. they're the first-time voters. they're the ones the party really needs in 2016. >> all right. everyon

but the biggest underestimation was not of the strength of the self-style islamic state but of the weaknessiraqi state. in the middle of 2014 when isis started taking town after town in iraq, the iraqi army essentially laid down its arms and ran away. remember, this was an army that the united states had spent more than $25 billion building up, an army more than 200,000 strong. that's more than six times the size of isis and maybe more. and it was all rendered useless against the isis assault. why? well, much of it can be pinned on one man. >> if you ask me, what's the most important factor of iraq, driver behind the resurgence of isis? i would say nuri al maliki. >> nuri al maliki, the iraqi prime minister, whom the bush administration had helped put into power in 2006. >> i appreciate your commitment to representing the people of iraq. >> back then, maliki's appointment was touted by the administration as a triumphant moment for the newly democratic iraq. >> i appreciate you recognize the fact that the future of your country is in your hands. >> to ensure the success of democracy, maliki,

anna: i think what i underestimated myself and what merkel maybe has underestimated is that the fear that is growing out of the influx of migrants and refugees we see currently in germany and maybe she, like i, thought that the middle was stronger, that we would be able to welcome those people in a different way and it seems like in the last summer and now we see that in germany, lots of historic fear, the fear of islam that's been at work in germany before and these voices have found one voice and then -- and then a new party, and this is changing things around in germany. peter: i got the sense that behind the scenes here in berlin more and more people are talking about the demise of angela merkel as a real propross tissue prospect. is that the sense you get as well? alan: i get the sense that people are talking about it but don't quite dare to go there. but it's wishful thinking. there's no one who could take her place. that's the problem. what you said is not quite true, is it? that merkel represented the cozy middle ground. the point was, there was no alternative to her then and

what this means is, to him, do not underestimate him. despite his mental state, he has extreme survival skills. right now, we believe he's within a 250-mile radius of roanoke. he is armed and extremely dangerous. it is important that you do not approach this man. he believes that he is on a mission, and if threatened, he will kill. so if you see him, stay away sir. sir! dispatcher: all units, suspect is a navy veteran... sir, excuse me. sir, i need you to stop right there. dispatcher: 14, what's your status? this is 14, shutting down linley road now. sir, this road's closed. you'll have to turn around. what's going on, officer? official pice matter, sir. rossi: one thing that's been bothering me is the first victim,adam werner, was given the navy cross in 2000. we weren't at war. exactly. you have to show extreme sacrifice, risk life and limb to win the second-highest medal of valor. so what did he do during peacetime to deser it? so, garcia discovered part of dolan's military records were encrypted. i just go the complete file from the

i think twice as much is even still an underestimation.e see this in every war, because we can't run a realistic tally of all that has been going on. there are a lot of syrians that have disappeared. many are dead. we haven't begun to find the mass graves, the -- you know, the same sort of story that comes out -- out of every war when the fighting stops, so as long as the fighting continues, and the international community has stopped counting the dead -- as you recall, the united nations has stopped officially counting the dead for at least two years now, so -- everything we hear is an underestimation. >> should the world have been shocked when we hear about entire towns of people that have been starving. >> unfortunately it seems that they are shocked, but nothing happens. every time we hear about it, the united nations and other humanitarian aid workers, they have known about it for months, and they are trying to negotiate ways to get through to these people, but they can't. i mean it's just this ongoing crisis. >> how -- how much longe

you underestimate it-- killing 'em right off. that's what you were doing, here. >> i-- not on purpose. >> well. [ clearing throat ] no matter what you say, "american demographics--" >> [ chuckling ] >> there's a magazine called, uh, "american demographics." did you know that? >> no. >> you knew that, fred? >> yes, sir. >> it's a statistical magazine. how would you know about a magazine called-- >> i'm very interested in statistics. >> you are-- he-he's doing the same thing. >> [ chuckling ] >> this magazine says, despite all the advances in technology, we have only gained about 60 minutes a week of spare time, since 1960. >> that's hard to believe. >> well, that's what it says. now, most people try to allot their spare time. have you ever had something to do on a weekend? well, you say, "i'll do that, in my spare time." >> right. >> and yet, you never seem to have enough spare time to do that. i'm overempa-- i'm over-explaining this bit. >> [ laughing ] >> for example, if you wanna find out what your-- where your money went, whad

don't underestimate. >> you would leave it up to the chinese? >> i wouldn't leave it up to them. i would say you got to diet. you've got to diet. >> if they said no what would you do? >> i would strongly, i'm going to stop them to a certain extent. maybe do it a little more forcefully. one other thing, we make that horrible deal with iran. the closest partner of north korea is iran. why didn't we p p something in there, where we are making a deal. giving them $150 billion. why didn'te do something with iraniran gets in. we force iran to get in and do something with north korea. we didn't do anything. when we made that deal. that deal is a horror show. one of the worst i have ever seen. when we made the deal with iran, why didn't kerry stay you have to help us out. have a problem. northh korea. playayg around with nunuears. nuclears the whoho game changer. if it weren't for that. sthunthouldn't be in the middle east. we can't take a chance that we should have done that also. china in the meantime has treme

do not underestimate the power of crude at least not in this market. stocks staged a massive comeback as the price of oil surged. that relationship between stocks and oil is so strong it shrugged off an unexpectedly weak services report which pressured equities early on and sent bond yields sinking. more on that momentarily. by the close the blue chip index gained, to 16,336, moving 400 points from its low to its high. the nasdaq slipped 12 and the s&p 500 rose 9. as for domestic crude prices, take a look at that percentage gain, 8% to the upside snapping a two-day rout as the dollar tumbled and despite record inventories. if anything, today was a reminder of why this market is anything but boring. bob pisani explains what fueled today's rebound. >> reporter: we stopppped droppg when oil stopped dropping about 11:00 a.m. stocks went sideways until about 2:00 p.m. when the whole market turned around. the dow rallied over 250 points in about an hour. oil also rallied to the highs for the day. so what happened? some are citing vague rumors that oil-produc

>> democrats, donald trump, are they underestimating him? jt i d't think we're underestimating any of the the rereblicans. donald trump would have a perhaps a better opportunity than marco rubio to litigate his case in michigan. ohio, pennsylvania. possibly wisconsin. i think at the end of the day, democrats will be able to overcome this so called trump surge. i want to get back to my good friend here. with the supreme court. as you know. i think the president should nominate somebody. >> shall. constitution says shall. >> george, we had an interesting brea i think the presidentnt should nominate someone. to be on vuxist, that's a problem. all of that is on the table. >> i wantt to go back to the question at the top of the show. how republicans will handle the rise of donald trump if it continues. there was reporting in "the new york times" that the republican leader in the senate says, if he becomes a burden for you, don't be afraid to run ads against him. >> paul ryan will be the chairperson of that republican convention in cleveland. he's
