john kasich put out his tax plan. he cut taxes for businesses and the wealthiest bracket, eliminated the state tax, and and balanced tax, the budget within eight years. here is how he framed it at a national community college and new hampshire. john kasich: i will immediately put us on a path to a balanced budget and i will get it done within eight years. within the first 100 days we will have that plan to balance the budget. and to keep it balanced i will start the process to amend our constitution to require washington to balance its budget every single year, like states and families in america. mark: we're going to bring in our -- he has written a lot of taxes, tell us what you think about his tax plan as a matter of policy. al: i make great fan of john kasich, as you know. this is voodoo economics. he proposed something very similar 17 years ago in the house when he was the budget committee chairman. we had a $1.5 trillion surplus. he said an act of this tax cut and we will still have a surplus. it led to endless

mark: coming up, a day in the life of john kasich. specifically, this day and this john kasich right after this. ♪ mark: we are back here in manchester, new hampshire, john kasich's brand-new headquarters. his first day here. today, it started with a morning visit to the hotel gym. ♪ mr. kasich: this feels quite a bit staged, you know. i will make sure you don't run into a wall. >> is it cold outside? i've never seen you with a tie before, halperin. how's the weather out there? mark: do you know your schedule right now, or do i go one by one and ask the staff? mr. kasich: i have a semblance. i know we are going to see gordon humphrey. then i don't know where we're going. guess who won the football game last night? steelers. mark: is that what you predicted? mr. kasich: i did. >> it's my pleasure this morning to join senator john sununu and peter thompson and so many other public officials and private citizens around the state and extending my endorsement to governor john kasich of ohio in his campaign for the office of president.

if you are john kasich. you are looking for an opening, throwing your hands up, saying, look, this is ridiculous, trying to find a way to perhaps appeal to establishment types, more moderate republicans, but jeb bush is also going to be looking for that kind of opening, marco rubio has done perhaps the best out of the more experienced politicians lately. he has been willing to take on trump, perhaps he's willing to take on carson, too. lindsay graham, who is not going to be on the main stage made some comments similar to kasichs, sort of throwing his hands up, saying what's going on here? so, yeah, with the iowa caucuses, a little more than three months out at this point. you will see other candidates who have been slowly building, finally starting to get a bit more compass prated, a bit more willing to sort of go negative. >> quickly on the democratic side of the race, many of you may have been sleeping or watching baseball. she was essentially asked, which candidate she would rather face or which one she c

supporter of john kasich. and carly fiorina's campaign manager. ♪ >> one guy that says we ought to take 10 million people and pick them up -- where are we going to -- we are going to take them up and take them to the border and scream at them to get out of our country? that is just crazy. we have people proposing health care reform that will leave millions of people without adequate health insurance. what has happened to our party? what has happened to the conservative movement? john kasich is madder than a mets fan at kauffman stadium last night. last night -- fraudulent or genuine? >> certainly not fake. this is a question of comparing and contrasting policy. let too many people go out there with policy that is completely ridiculous. never going to happen. deporting 12 million people, that will never happen in america. -- why not name the candidate? i just don't understand. john: i don't know. it is more about the policy. that is probably why. personalityt about and who has the experience to implement poli

john kasich had a good night. ted cruz had a good night. jeb had the worst night. >> let's play that exchange between marco rubio and jeb bush because clearly that was something that jeb bush tried to be aggressive with marco rubio and marco rubio came back at him. let's play that. >> i'm a constituent of the senator and i helped him and i expected that he would do constituent service which means he shows up to work. he got endorsed by "the sun sentinel" because he's the most talented guy in the field and he's a talented politician. marco, when you signed up for this, this is a six-year term and you should be showing up to work. literally, the senate, like a french workweek and you get three days where you have to show up. you can campaign or just resign or let someone else take the job. there are a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck in florida as well and looking for a for that will fight for them each and every day. >> i goat respond. >> 0 seconds. >> over the last few weeks i've listened to job as he walked around the country sayi

john: i'm interested to see what happens with john kasich, because of the fact that his situation seems to be deteriorating, not gaining ground in new hampshire. the other person is carly fiorina, who won the last debate . she has had a good time since then in the last month. in the polls, she went up and down. what would she do tonight for the encore? now, for something completely different. democrats. mark and i both had pieces in bloomberg.com. his was ill clinton getting involved in securing superdelegates for his wife. mine is all about the bernie sanders campaign and how it plans to take that woman down. that discussion provoked hillary clinton in new hampshire, where she said "we are all on the same team at the end of the election, republicans, democrats, or what ever else we might call ourselves. we are all americans." does the sanders campaign have a plausible plan to come back? mark: i will be interested to see if he ups his game in the next debate. it's never going to be negative personal. it will be contrast on issues. whatever else is going on with hillary clinton, she is g

john kasich. he calls his opponents crazy, even hysterical. will he bring this new kind of, you know, establishment rage to the debate stage tonight? we're going to ask someone who works for one of the candidates who will be on stage with john kasich. stay with us. ancestry has come out now they have lifestory. it literally lays out somebody's life, from birth to death. when i was using lifestory, i discovered my great grandmother. she went through a lot. two sons go to fight in world war ii. she lived through the depression. and she made it through all of that. here i am. just because she survived, and she kept going. bring your family story to life like never before. get started for free at ancestry.com grandma! grandpa! there are thousands of ways into the complex health care system. ahhh! ohhhh! what are you doing in there? scaring you. you're doing a good job. fortunately, unitedhealthcare can help make it simpler with our all-in-one medicare advantage plans. these plans can combine medicare parts a and b, your hospital and doctor coverag

because in 24-36 hours, john kasich seems to be getting more aggressive and hostile. where do you think it's coming from? >> he has very bad poll numbers so he attacked us. i think it was inappropriate but that came from poll numbers. he seems like a nice guy. i think it worked out well for me. >> let me go to the issue of the substance to these unnamed sources. do you talk about trillions of dollars? . >> i don't think -- i don't think those sources exist. i don't believe they exist. >> i got the impression it was his personal opinion. it was a great line mentioning lar larry larry. he's a good guy. what you didn't see was factor in was repatriated money and a lower corporate tax rate, etc. >> we're lowering taxes, big league. we're bringing rates down. with the highest tax in the world with highest taxed country now and it's not even close. we're bringing the rates down to 15% for corporations and bringing it down to ten. we have right now, $2.5 trillion outside of the country that can't get in. we're bringing it way down. it's going to be used in our country, then,

i think some ohio republicans would say, this is actually the old john kasich, the john kasich we know and we're starting to get a little bit of a glimpse into that. i think this race is a marathon rather than a sprint, but i think there's a sense of desperation that's hitting some of these candidates, saying, if i don't make up some ground now, the race will be over. >> that's what strikes me here, beth. and in "the washington post" yesterday, the story was remarkable, a guy frustrated with the senate and throws up his hands. one of the critiques of president obama is he threw up his hands and he isn't -- you know, when he's rejected a third time, doesn't try to go a fourth time. are we learning something about jeb, kasich, and rubio that maybe they can't take the heat right now? >> well, the comparison between rubio and obama is one that the jeb bush folks have been making and are going to continue to make, perhaps, you know, in a very sharp way in the debate. i was in houston over the weekend, where jeb had a fund-raiser, and they did a slide presentation where they described marco

john: ohio governor john kasich. mr. bush wasn't the only one throwing punches. kasich criticized ben carson and donald trump. >> we're going to just have a 10% tithe and that's how we're going to fund the government or that we're just going to be great or shim 10 million people out of this country leaving their children here in this country and dividing families? folks, we have to wake up. john: governor kasich tried to position himself in this detective as a voice of reason and experience and a reformer. will it be enough to keep him in the running? tom: i don't think so. look, i think john kasich does bring a lot to the party in terms of challenging, make points that are difficult for some people to suspect but i -- but i suspect he's saturated out and i don't think he can puncture his way in eleanor: a high-performing governor of ohio. no republican has won the presidency without ohio. he's got a path to the number one or number two spot on the ticket. clarence: he's going to lose the idea of run for vice president. which is too bad. i was watching kasich and

i don't think john kasich had a great night. he set himself up to really sort of take on donald trump and ben carson, and while there was moment in the debate he kind of faded in the background. so those two did not have a great night, in my view. >> with respect to my friend, i would say john kasich had a great night. because i felt he presented his approach to growth. he wanted a balanced budget and make that clear. and wanted tax cuts which he did in ohio. he was very alert and sharp. he took an attack from donald trump but survived that attack. i would give john kasich points. what did i want? i wanted growth and tax reform. i got it. >> hey, on that very note, let's get down to joe kernen in the arena now with donald trump. joe? >> yes, you're right. i am with mr. trump. you have done three of these now. your impression. >> >> well, i think the folks did a great job, i thought it was terrific and i had a lot of fun. >> i think everybody did very nicely. >> do you think the right balance was struck between attacking each oth

>> i like john kasich a lot. he's a friend of mine and he would be a good candidate, too, not as good as governor bush in my view, but i think there's a little bit of that. i think what happened on the republican side is trump jumped in, jumped to the top of the polls and froze the race. and after about four months of the race being frozen and nothing seemingly able to pull him down at all, the other candidates are all getting a little panicky and need to resist that. i think dr. carson's jump in the polls in the last week is more important than just ben carson. i think it amounts to unfreezing on the republican presidential side. and i would be more surprised if we didn't see more one movement and that's opportunity for candidates not to get frustrated with the process but to get into the process with their own vision. john kasich can do that very well. >> thank you so much. vin weber, we'll all be watching. and let's get a look at tonight's cnbc debate with one of the moderators, becky quick from cnbc. becky, i

john kasich, republican presidential candidate: "the reason a lot of them make a lot of money is because they have skill...not too many who too many skills lately but they do" knocking kasich's low poll numbers, the 76ers tweeted "at least we win more than 2% of the time." stephanie: we want to know your thoughts on two of the democrats dropping out of the race for president. send us an email to: "news at we are iowa dot com" or call us in the newsroom: 1- 800-858-5555 we'd love to hear what you think about this story or any other. stephanie: again, one of the state's biggest democratic events takes place tomorrow and presidential candidates aren't messing around. hillary clinton is even bringing her husband former presdient bill clinton, and pop star katy perry will be in des moines to rile up the support for hillary. we talked to somebody with the republican national committee for their take on all the hoopla. " you look at the big guns hillary clinton is bringing in, katy perry and bill clinton. they're going all in on this. iowa's important and they know it. the bigger problem for th

i know john kasich bush was one guy he was attacking. who does bush have to worry about taking fire from? >> reporter: i think rubio will play hangback approach. he doesn't need to win tonight. i think you are right. kasich is a threat to bush. you see kasich coming out in a very confrontational way talking about trump and carson and the effect of the republican party. if he is the louder voice as a moderate republican on stage and he overpowers bush in terms of that pitch that could be a problem for bush, as well. >> after what he said yesterday john kasich raised the bar for his performance. he has to come and say to their faces. >> reporter: i spoke to kasich's campaign is kasich going to bring that same pointed message to the debate stage. they said of course he will. we will see. it will be a test tonight. will kasich do it? >> a big test for him. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> and coming up, developing news in the house. paul ryan has officially been nominated for speaker of the house. could his support for the controve

has -- as john kasich has as chairman of the budget committee, that's valuable experience. other people have experience, too, but that's very valuable experience when you look at managing a federal budget and figuring out how to get us to balance. it's not just about talking. it's about really knowing those numbers and knowing the programs that need to be changed. >> yeah. congressman, stay right there. we have to take a quick break and pay our bills. we'll be back in just a minute. >>> welcome back to boulder, colorado. this is a special edition of on targ target. you can see the cameras here. donald trump over to the side a few feet away. they want to talk about how to make a difference to middle class and poor americans who have not benefitted from the economic recovery as much as the rich. i want to read you an excerpt of the press release that the gop has just put out about the debate tonight. if you're watching it, notice that the most applause came when candidates criticized the media and what they said the unfair questions were. the statement talks about the perform

kasich for turning negative. >> he was such a nice guy. he said i never going to attack but then his poll numbers take, that is why he is on the end, and he got mad at me. you can have him. >> reporter: i said the candidates were united in their hatred of the news media, they were also united in their disdain for hillary clinton. she was a frequent target last night. we will next year from her and her fellow democrats at a forum in south carolina on november 6th. back to you. to leave this week marks three years since superstorm sandy hit the tristate area, or what have been built, seawalls rebuild, and the rebuilding effort is not complete. crucial work to shore up the infrastructure is ongoing and a lot of homes need to be repaired or rebuilt but there is validation for people who complain that federal flood insurance program shortchange them. the not found roughly three of five of national flood insurance policyholders are entitled to more money. let's check the weather forecast with mike woods. >> meteorologist: we are dealing with, so

i believe that person is john kasich. ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce my personal friend john kasich. [applause] gov. kasich: the man who turns surpluses into deficits. [laughter] gov. kasich: he was the guy that stuck it to you. can you take that phone. if it is my wife, i will take it. if it is the president, i will call him back. [laughter] gov. kasich: just kidding, mr. president. this is really nice. john is a great friend. he talked to me about the fact that i should do this, run for president. i do not really think i would. many of you will say, we don't really know that much about him or we have never heard of him. i was kind of taking care of business in ohio and it was really a mess. 20% of our operating budget -- it would be like blowing a hole in your take-home pay. before i get all to policy, i will tell you a quick story, which some of my reporter friends in ohio are tired of hearing. that, a quick story. blue up in a little collar town outside of pittsburgh -- the steelers won last nigh
