state. we're going to talk about politics and the day we spent with john kasich, but first, everybody running for president today has been reacting to that horrible shooting in oregon, including jeb bush, who today in greenville, south carolina, said this -- mr. bush: look, stuff happens. there's always a crisis and the impulse is always to do something, and it's not necessarily the right thing to do. mark: at the white house, president obama was asked -- how would you react to governor bush? this is what the president said. president obama: i don't even think i have to react to that one. [laughter] president obama: i think the american people should hear that and make their own judgments based on the fact that every couple of months, we have a mass shooting, and in terms of -- and they can decide if they consider that stuff happening. mark: the lines have been drawn pretty clearly. republican candidates are basically saying now is not the time to look for government action. democrats are calling for the kind of gun measures that they call for. does this shooting, given the time of th

kasich's headquarters, but right now, fiorina looks good in new hampshire. rubio is on a great trajectory, even though he is low. i think ben carson. you did not mention trump, who is leading. did not mention bush. no.: bush has a chance. mark: why fiorina? she's exciting. people want to come to her events. say rubio, but his pulse tanning is not that great. people complain he's not here very much. what leads you to believe he has a chance to catch up? drew: when you talk to republicans about who they like, who they are more interested in the income of those names come up. mark: but trump, too. his name comes up all the time. drew: when you talk to real republican voters. mark: chris christie? drew: he has a chance because he is so good with crowds. you don't rule out that john kasich or bush could win the primary? you are saying this eight or nine people. primaries in february. eight or nine people could win. we have never had anything like this. is it possible could someone surged to a big lead? drew: yes, but i don't think they will. day in theg up, a life of john kasich. sp

young gov. kasich: the same is also true for welfare. in ohio, we tried to be very innovative, guided by the same idea my mother used to say, it is a sin to not help somebody who needs help, but equally a cent to continue to help someone who needs to learn how to help themselves. very time, we are asking the federal government for permission to allow our people on public assistance to be able to get education so that they can get a job, and we have to ask the federal government to approve this. it is nonsense. let me run it. let my legislature run it. taylor a program that we can learn from all across this country. this is our country. we make the choices that decided future. if we want prosperity, futures, opportunities for kids, we need to make it happen, and we need to make it happen now. let's win our energy freedom. let's get smart on train. it works together as one strategy. if we want to see results now, we will have to fight for it. i'm fighting for the 50-year-old woman who lost her job in this bad economy, and for the businesses that could grow and give her a new opportunity

is that fair to say? gov. kasich: i like to give people answers. i am who i am. josh m.: there is a lot going on in the news. you made some news by talking about what youapoa wld be when it comes to what' s happening in syria, calling on congress and the president to create safe havens, sanctuaries. gov. kasich: so people don' t have to run and leavthr countr please create a no-fly zone. give people -- we create a no-fly zone. if people want to violate it, there will be consequences kurds to provide sanctuary. ourselves in a region er we can' t sit still over there much longer. josh m.: how much time do we have legitimately? you talk about coalition building to create these sanctuaries. do we try to get everybody on board? president, that' s what i w be doing. you have all these candidates talking about what they are going to do. that is 18 months away. m trying to talk about the most practical approach to something. do i think the administration is going to listen to me? do i think congress -- i think it is an idea that allows us to get involved that sends a message to the russians

www.c-span.org. and republicanr presidential candidate john kasich took part in a townhall posted by the hispanic chamber of commerce today. askedamber president governor kasich his views on immigration and economic issues. governor kasich although asked about the federal government's role in reducing gun violence. this is one hour and 15 minutes. be. welcome to the fourth presidential question and answer session. i am javier palomarez and as president and ceo of the u.s. hispanic chamber of commerce i have the honor of representing 4.1 hispanic-owned businesses that together contribute over $661 billion to the american economy. we advocate on behalf of 250 major corporations through our network of 200 local chambers and business associations worldwide. we represent the interest of business men and women who happen to be of hispanic descent, we never forget we are businesses. every product we create and service we provide goes to benefit this american economy. as an association that represents 4.1 hispanic business owners we have an accountability to make sure our voices are heard by

? john kasich, will you insult two people over here? marco rubio, why dont you resign? jeb bush, why have your numbers fallen? john: senator ted cruz, one of 14 g.o.p. presidential candidates, satirizing the questions in wednesdays cnbc 2016 republican presidential debate, held at the university of colorado, in boulder. but get this -- the debate lasted two hours -- apparently only because of an ultimatum! trump: i have to hand it to ben. we called ben, he was with me 100%. we called in, we said were not doing it. they lost a lot of money, everybody said it couldnt be done, everybody said it was going to be three hours/three and half including them, and in about two minutes, i renegotiated it down to two hours so we can get the hell out of here! not bad. [laughter] john: question, what do cruz and trump have in common? pat: there are both unapologetic individuals. they talk back to political correctness. they like to fight, outspoken. they take a strong stance. they have great appeal, the so-called middle american radicals, a major movement in america over the years and i think the t

carson, can you do math? john kasich, will you insult two people over here? marco rubio, why don't you resign. jeb bush, why have your numbers fallen? how about talking about the substantive issues people care about. [ cheers and applause ] >> we're clearly not having that beer that you mentioned, but i'll give you 30 more seconds -- >> but i'll buy you a tequila or even some famous colorado brownies. >> i'll give you 30 seconds to respond. >> you find a democrat that's for cutting taxes, cutting spending $10, i'll give them a warm kiss. >> thank you, governor. >> carl. >> there's a company called manatech, a maker of nutritional supplements with which you had a ten-year relationship. they offered claims that they could cure autism, cancer. they paid $7 million to settle a deceptive marketing lawsuit in texas and yet your involvement continued. why? >> well, that's easy to answer, i didn't have an involvement with them. that is total propaganda. >> to be fair, you were on the home page of their website with the logo over your shoulder. >> if somebody put me on their home page they

health reform. trish: liz macdonald thank you very much. >> sure. trish: john kasich is out with his economic plan saying he will balance the budget in eight years while increasing defense spending by nearly 20% s this actually going to matter to voters? we'll talk about right after this. trish: breaking this hour, news republican presidential candidate, who is struggling in the polls is trying to stand out in crowded field by going after trump and trump's tax plan with his own plan to balance the budget. kasich's plan includes across the board tax cuts and freeze on spending except our military here. listen to him here? >> i will immediately put us a path to balanced budget and get it done within eight years. trish: blake burman has a plan, grover norquist, the tax guy calling grown-up plan. >> that is one of ways he is putting it, grover norquist giving john kasich's plan thumbs up. he told the associated press that he is feels it is practical and pro-growth. democratic national committee on other hand blasted it, cuts taxes for rich and tells everyone essentially to get over it. o

political applications are on the republic side and democratic side? >> john kasich raised $4.4 million in the second quarter, which puts him behind everybody, put him behind marco rubio and scott walker. look, i think the pentagon and the white house has no idea what the right number of troops is, to do the mission they think it is. this number of troops probably deters the taliban from taking additional cities before president obama leaves the president -- leaves the democratic nominee more vulnerable. >> that have looked at the example of the risks in both terms of national security and national order, too great to allow afghanistan to descend the kind of chaos iraq has descended into. if afghanistan slid into that kind of chaos, it would be horrible for whoever the democratic nominee is, particularly hillary clinton. this is in some sense mildly good for her. she agrees on the substance. john: it ensures they will be debate in the nomination. should more troops go in? did president obama not leave enough of a residual? mark: if he didn't do this it would open him up to incre

talked about it. they talked about balance budget amendments. huckabee and kasich talk about how they balance budgets although they come from places where you have to balance the budget by law. the application of it is a little bit, you know, not really a fair comparison. they talked about that a lot. again, you look at a lot of their plans. they include cuts in taxes, increases in spending, and increases in the deficit. every president since nixon has increased the deficit and has seen the debt limit or the debt go up afterwards. the party that's supposed to be about smaller government and less debt didn't come up with solutions to that tonight. >> no. i mean, i think that the irony actually is there's one president out there who didn't contribute to the deficit all that much, and it was a democrat, it was clinton. he balanced the budget for a short period of time, right? i think that kasich tonight, i think, made the strongest case for a financial house in order. of course, you're right. he's talking about ohio, and ohio has to balance the budget. he's done that, but he has the numb

cover is available on our website, at www.c-span.org. john kasich unveiled his plan to balance the federal budget in eight years and outlined his agenda for his first hundred days in office if elected. -- spoke at nationa nashua community college in new hampshire. >> it is my honor to welcome all of you to this event. it is exciting for me for many reasons. i am a buckeye, and we have the greatest band in the land at ohio state. this is not a new place for governor kasich. he has been here a number of times, so this is like old home week for us to have the governor back. we are pleased to happen here. i would also like to thank our chancellor who is renowned economist nationally, and as well in the audience is our chair, paul holloway. i would like to welcome you all here, and i will turn it over to the governor. [applause] mr. kasich: i have decided to run for president because the time to fix america is now. not tomorrow, but right now. the time to make tough decisions and get results even if they are not popular. sometimes you got to make decisions even if people don't like it,

. >> those of the only exceptions? gov. kasich: the three of them. rape, incest, and life of the mother. i am for abortion only in the case of rape, incest, and the life of the mother. thank you. >> are you aware that someone said trump would have you as his running mate? gov. kasich: that's nice. all right, we got to go. >> [indiscernible] governor kasich: you did? we have to get you to help us. >> what has been your biggest bipartisan accomplishment while being governor? gov. kasich: a number of them. transportation was a really big one. human trafficking was another big one. i could give you the whole long list but there are tons of them we have been able to do together. it is really important. in the the partisanship state of ohio a lot different when i was in politics back before i got out of politics. it is getting better now in ohio. we had just yesterday a former leader, she was up here actually holding a basic -- holding a .ohn kasich sign this is an effort where you plug together on a lot of things. started to figure out how we would improve transportation, none of them

supporting rubio is on the air. i want to ask about governor kasich. there are other factors in media. not just the volume of the ads but the content, what is your sense about how those ads are doing given his numbers in new hampshire ticking down as of late? ken: k-6 went up early in the summer. he was the only person up with a significant buy in new hampshire. then he got into that conversation, that 10 percentage point range. they have just recently made another $3 million by. we have not seen his numbers move. he definitely got a bounce over the summer but it was a sugar high that began to come down. they are now try to get back into the conversation in new hampshire. rubio, his outside group had a big buy. are spending money on national cable. half their money is in national cable. it will be interesting to see if rubio's national numbers moves because he has been on national cable networks like fox news. john: this last question about donald trump, who continues to lead everywhere, sometimes by a lot, he has gotten die without spending a dime on ads. just talk about that phenome

kasich who has a history of bug chairperson, you have to find a way to chip into those numbers, somehow, whether it's trump or carson or both of them. >> we have john kasich. he was on the stump yesterday. he basically says he's fed up with the proposals tossed around. basically means trump an ben carson. let's listen for a sec to what john kasich said. >> so i want you to know, i'm fed up. i am sick and tired of listening to have to calm it like it is as long as i'm in this race. >> you just heard john kasich right there. let's talk about some of the other people in the main stream lane like jeb bush. does jeb bush need to get out there tonight and essentially say he's fed up? does he need to make a stand tonight as he's cut back on his staff cutback in the polling? >> yeah, we're talking about, you know, a little more than three months before voters go to the polls in iowa for the caucuses there. so it is getting to a crucial stage in the race. yeah, it's not just john kasich, i mean, lindsey graham yesterday sort of threw his hands up and said he has no idea what's going on him he ca

candidates met for the third debate and john kasich took on donald trump. jeb bush went after his old palmer co rubio and ted cruz, marco rubio and donald trump all took on the mainstream media. john kasich started tonight with this warning -- >> we are on the verge, perhaps, of picking someone who can no the do this job. >> well, donald trump took issue with his first question from moderator john harwood. >> is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign? >> no, that's not a comic book and it's not a nicely asked question the way you say that. >> well, the media seem to be the candidates' favorite target, the mainstream media, if you will. here's marco rubio getting cheers for going on the attack. >> the democrats have the ults super pac called the mainstream media. [ applause ] >> meanwhile, the audience booed the moderators for challenging ben carson too hard on questions about his relationship to a nutritional supplement company. >> it is absolutely absurd to say that i had any kind of a relationship with them. do i take the product? yes. i think it's a good product.

unhappy with their usual leaders, their governors like bush and christie and kasich, they are determined to pick a defiant outlier like trump, carson, fiorina or cruz, or are they ready to just give up the revolution and fall into line? or, is one candidate cute enough politically, marco rubio, to appeal to both catmps, the establishment and the renegades? more immediately, are those on the hard right attracted more to a canned the da, donald trump, who knows something about the economy or one who seems more in league with their religious values, dr. ben carson? well, these are fairly basic questions for a party to be considering this late in the game. selection of 2016 is one that really counts, of course, it is going to set a direction for the country, no matter which party wins, because there's no incoming party to go back and work and continue as it was. in fact, tonight, the candidates are meeting for the first time with donald trump once again suck up much of the oxygen in the room. jeb bush promising to take it to him. john kasich is calling out the crazy, as he calls i

? someone like john kasich who essentially just said i'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. with us, cnn political director david chalian. david, i want to focus first on ben carson because this really is the first night of the rest of his life. one might think that the debate moderators will focus a great deal of attention on him. the other candidates as well. >> that's right, john. donald trump no longer has center stage to himself. if you look at the lineup, he shares center stage with ben carson. and you are absolutely right. this is a whole gnnew phase for carson. coming in as the front-runner now nationally and in that key kickoff state of iowa is a whole new world for him, and he will be under more scrutiny. the other factor in that, of course, john is what does donald trump do vis-a-vis ben carson? is he going to be looking to take ben carson down a notch, or is ben carson just going to wither under what may be a pressing debate, trying to get specifics out of him which have been slow coming throughout this whole campaign season? >> you're talking about specifics th

establishment candidates, the one-time front-runner jeb bush, his protege marco rubio, and ohio's john kasich. these three are refocusing their attacks on each other rather than wasting ammo on the donald. it bush is trashing rubio's limited experience. rubio is calling for a non-legacy candidate during kasich is saying his record is -- and kasich is saying that his record is better than both of theirs. who has the upper hand? mark: i think rubio does. he's picking up a lot of support from scott walker financial and grassroots. so far, no one has, i think, convince the electorate that he's too young, too inexperienced to be president, but i would say that is going to be the real test. butjust kashich and bush, trump also is already doing it. they are going to come hard after rubio on that, knock him out for being too young. john: i agree with you. i think there's an additional reason why rubio has the hot hand. both bush and kasich are trying to run straightforward establishment campaigns in the traditional mould. they are not going to be playing in the anti-establishment lane or tea party la

questions. ohio governor john kasich who some described as the only grown-up in the sand box. he joins me from beverly hills, california. governor, reince priebus sent a letter to nbc ending the relationship for the upcoming february debate. he said the cnbc kdebate was conducted in bad faith. it seems like you're the only one not beefing about the way the debate was moderated. explain that to me. >> well, look, you play the cards that you're dealt, michael. i don't like this format. harry truman could never have been elected president of the united states with a 30 or 60-minute response. who can rile people up the most. that's the way it works. if i had my way, i would break this down into smaller groups. and i would give everybody more time to talk about who they are and what they believe. so i'm not satisfied with the way this workings. i love these kind of sbriers where i can talk with you on somewhat of an extended basis so people can get to know who i am. at the end of the day, think about this, my dad carried mail on his back. my mother had her mother live with us, could barely spe

comic book villain? ben carson, do math. john kasich, insult people over here. marco rubio, why don't you resign. jeb bush, why have your numbers fallen? how about talking about the substantive issues? >> joining the panel this week, wall street journal columnist and deputy mary o'grady and assistant page editor james free man and columnist kim straussel. kim, this debate showed that the republicanle contest is volatile. nobody will march from front to back as the front-runner. there are a lot of people who potentially could break through and get the nomination. who do you think wroek broke through this week? >> look, we are past the introduction stage at this point. voters are looking for more substance. you did see some of the republican insiders -- remember, this is supposed to be about outsiders, but the people who shone were ted cruz and marco rubio. >> experienced politicians. >> yes. people who have done this for a while. the reason they did is because they probably have a pretty good understanding of what voters want and need. they want someone who will be an effective advocat

hall at the university of richmond earlier this week, ohio governor john kasich made this joke when calling on a young woman in the audience. >> i don't have any tickets for, you know, for taylor swift or anything, or, you know, or lincoln park -- go ahead. i know you're just so excited. yes. >> but the young woman's question was actually about his position on undocumented immigrants. and now the student, kayla solsback, has responded to kasich's joke in an op-ed in the school's newspaper. she writes, quote, the older members of the audience chuckled as my friends' jaws dropped to the floor. it was astonishingly clear that governor kasich didn't come to richmond for my vote. kasich came to richmond to pander to retired republicans. he could gain points by belittling me and my peers, so that's what he did. she continues to write, in a half hearted attempt to connect with young voters, kasich entered the town hall forum with the hit song shut up and dance with me blasting from the speakers. while my friends all found it out of place, i realized that the song's title accurately reflect

he seem approachable? >> chocolate milk. john: john kasich. >> i don't know much about john. >> i don't know much about john either. john: john kasich. do you know who that is? >> i don't. >> no idea. mark: anybody have three words for john kasich? anybody have strong feelings about john kasich? >> intelligent but no chance. [laughter] >> when governor kasich talks about having been chairman of the budget committee in congress and washington, two-term governor of ohio, does anybody find that appealing? three of you find that appealing. >> i think he has done a good job changing in the economy and creating jobs to an extent. here is my biggest thing. i'm sorry, guys. i'm tired of the same politicians saying the same thing over and over again and every debate is the same. we are going to do this and this, and nothing gets done. >> i think he would get caught up in the same old politics as usual. >> why don't you find him appealing? >> glorified accountant basically. >> everything he has done has not changed a thing. he has been in that game with all the accounting. he has been in th

probably won't be necessary with the system that i have made" meanwhile, john kasich is making enemies...in the nba. kasich ran into the philadelphia 76ers in his new hampshire hotel. 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

fish and game. tom: to commitment 2016 now. ohio governor john kasich made the first major policy speech of his campaign today. and he chose new hampshire as the place to do it. the republican presidential candidate laid out a comprehensive proposal he believes will breathe life into the economy. political director josh mcelveen sat down with the governor following the speech. josh? reporter: yes, so kasich wrapped up a four-day bus tour that was interrupted over the weekend, so the republican could put the finishing touches on an economic plan that changes the way that the federal government does business. it does beef up areas of national defense, but domestically it returns a lot of power and money to the states. >> with we have jobs, we can take care of our families. reporter: with that john kasich shed light on his plan to grow the american economy. one that calms for major reforms to entitlement programs, a siz downsizing of the federal departments of education and transportation, while shifting those school and road dollars directly to the state. >> i will immediately put u

road with presidential candidate john kasich out in the town where he grew up. but first to the headlines in tonight's press box. andrea mitchell is in new hampshire with the hillary clinton campaign. hallie jackson has the fiorina's campaign reaction to some good poll numbers and bad news. more from the hill on the republican leadership fight from luke russert. and al roker is in south carolina where record flooding is making for extremely dangerous conditions. starting up in new hampshire, hillary clinton is stepping squarely into the gun debate, calling today for new limits on the availability and distribution of firearms. during exclusive "today" show town hall in new hampshire, clinton shared her distress over recent mass shootings. including that deadly massacre just days ago in oregon. but she said there are changes that can make a difference. >> we need universal background checks. we know they will work. we need to close the gun show loophole -- [ applause ] you know about 40% or so of the gun sales in america are done online, done in gun shows, done by people selling o

that doesn't know how to do thedk j >> and governor john kasich called out his republican rivals last night. he'll be here to explain why. and our interviews with donald trump and ted cruz. "hannity" starts right here, right now. >>> welcome to "hannity." tonight, major backlash over cnbc's handling of the third gop debate. first, there was some big moments last night in boulder, colorado, including this exchange between governor jeb bush and senator marco rubio. >> marco, when you signed up for this, this was a six-year term. and you should be showing up to work. literally, the senate -- what is it like a french workweek? you can campaign or just resign and let someone else take the job. >> you're modelling your campaign after john mccain. that you're going to launch a furious comeback the way he did. you know how many votes john mccain missed when he was carrying out that furious comeback? i don't remember you ever complaining about john mccain's vote record. the obviously reason you're doing it now is because we're running for the same position. >> that back and fort may have

candidates. >> i cannot give you to be oh. bush, case it, and chris christie -- john kasich, and chris christie. i am not in favor of those tax plans that would lose revenue. we need to figure out how to fix the debt. fixing entitlements are tough and real. john: who has the worst plan on that tax measure? >> that would be donald trump. >> grover norquist getting this commitment from everybody. why would you commit to something you have never seen? i never signed anything i did not get into before i had a debate. mark: what have you seen that is like donald trump? >> i have never seen anything like it. andas a real head of hair we have to admire that. we cannot not it. -- knock it. he has a lot of people who work for him who might be undocumented. game at the top of his because he is striking at the heart of political correctness. people are so sick and tired up political correctness. they love it. onk: you are not big political correctness. >> i have a designation for it, but my wife may be listening to the program. it is a doctrine fostered by a delusional minority and promoted

john kasich who negotiated and balanced a budget agreement with a democratic administration and got a strong vote out of congress and led to four years of balanced budgets. ,e did not just talk about it he did it. our agenda says the goal of balancing the government's budget by 2030. our next speaker from there he left congress after a collision -- from left undefeated there he left congress a coalition and came back as governor of ohio. they were running deficits. ladies and gentlemen join me to welcome the governor from ohio, john kasich. [applause] tom davis: you are between jim and dinner. -- you were between them and dinner. the last one is always in the best. [applause] : you came into ohio, times,ck tough economic what did you -- tough economic times, what did you do to turn it around? gov. kasich:: let me tell you is started when i was a kid. senatelected to the ohio after the aged 20's is promising no taxes. and it two years in, the republicans won a majority and decide to raise taxes. i said i would not do it and they called me irresponsible which is what they call you. i wr

actually think you got the better of this moment, the exchange you had with john kasich. let me play it for you, remind our outside yens and see how this went down. >> first of all, john got lucky with a thing called fracking. he hit oil. he got lucky with fracking. believe me, that's why ohio is doing well. and that's important for you to know. number two, this is the man that was a managing general partner at lehman brothers when it went down the tubes and almost took every one of us with it including ben and myself. because i was there and i watched what happened and lehman brothers started it all. he was on the board and he was a managing general partner. and just thirdly, he was so nice. he was such a nice guy. and he said, oh, i'm never going to attack, but then his poll numbers tanked. he's got -- that's why he's on the end. and he got nasty. and he got nasty. so you know you can have him. >> let me just -- let me respond. first of all, ohio does have an energy industry, but we're diversified. we're one of the fastest grows states in the country. we came back from the dead. you know

wildcard i'm looking for john kasich, the ohio governor at debate sendoff rally take ag lot of shots. let's see what you make of it. >> we got one candidate that says we ought to abolish medicaid and medicare. you ever heard of anything so crazy as that. we have one candidate claiming one candidate that actually said the reason why we signed an agreement sick and tired of listening to this nonsense and i have to call it like it is. >> if that's the john kasich we see on stage. >> he addresses those remarks to the two people he is talking about. carson and trump. i do think there is a tremendous frustration among regular republicans before him rick perry and now jeb bush. they are all frustrated because -- it's a party of defiance. they are not renegades. they don't understand why the voters of the republican party have subsequently gone completely away from the normal voting parties who are rooting for people. >> what about jeb bush? conventional wisdom is this is a make or break moment. they just had the meeting in houston. he has spent a lot of money on ads. that has not translated

one day before the third debate as the new war of words emerges between donald trump and john kasich. kristen fisher is down in washington with the latest. >>> dronald trump, he does not like losing, but hets's losing to ben carson in iowa. look at this latest poll from monmouth university, giving parson a 14-point lead, 32 to 18, ted cruz and marco rubio at 10%. jeb bush at eight. carson trying to capitalize on these new numbers by releasing a new ad touting his outsider credentials. he says, i'm running for president with the empty box sitting next to him. trump will be campaigning in iowa trying to improve his slipping poll numbers but taking heat for something he made yesterday. he basically took credit for ford, the car company, moving jobs from mexico back to ohio. >> mexico took a ford plant. you've heard me talking about ford. i heard last night that ford is moving back to the united states. they may not do that deal. i should get credit for that. somebody wrote last night, can you imagine what he could do if he was president? >> that comment didn't sit well with ohio governo

is not a new place for governor kasich. he has been here a number of times, so this is like old home week for us to have the governor back. we are pleased to have him here. i would also like to thank our students, our chancellor who is also a renowned economist nationally, and as well in the audience is our chair, paul holloway. i would like to welcome you all here, and i will turn it over to the governor. mr. kasich: i have decided to run for president because the time to fix america is now. not tomorrow, but right now. the time to make tough decisions and get results even if they are not popular. sometimes you got to make decisions even if people don't like it, because if we continue to hesitate, america will pay a high price. we have seen too much economic stagnation, bickering in washington, paralysis in the white house, as the world becomes more dangerous. and nothing is happening right now to turn things around. and this is about your country, this is about your future. we seem sometimes to be hanging in space. we are not going forward, backward, we are waiting for the next bad

frustration in the field. john kasich just lashed out, calling the competition crazy and saying he's about had it with these people. this is "mtp daily" and it starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> good evening from washington. we'll go right to south carolina, richland county sheriff's office is holding a presser right now on that disturbing video from a school that you've been watching all day. columbia high school. let's dip in where we saw a police officer caught on camera, slamming a female student to the ground and dragging her across the classroom. they're answering questions right now. >> we started our investigation. our investigation is an internal investigation dealing only with policy violations. it has nothing to do with any criminal wrong-doings at all. we're looking at, did the officer act properly, did he act in relationship to the training that we provide, did he follow all of our policy and procedures. that's what internal affairs investigation is doing. and the results of that will determine his further employment here. he has been suspended without pay. i know there's been some disc

and decide this is an opportunity for john kasich to go after him. trump might not be able to bush, i don't see your mommy and daddy in the audience tonight. what does bush do? trump bestne is bush. john: very difficult. that --s time for gilligan's island. carly fiorina won the last debate. the question is how she would do tonight. rand paul did an interview with larry wilmore. he will be with us shortly. chris christie is apparently upset about his greenroom. let's listen to a part of this rant. >> i have about had it with these people. let me tell you want. we have one candidate who says we ought to abolish medicaid and medicare. have you ever heard of anything so crazy as that? telling people that we are going to abolish medicaid and medicare? we have one person who says we ought to have a 10% let tax to drive up this this is -- deficit by trillions of dollars. why don't we have no taxes? a chicken in every pot on top of it. out: i know what a break moment would look like for the professor and marion, but for the rest of these? you see in john kasich, this is more tactical than

john kasich has been taking on a much more aggressive tone on the campaign trail. yesterday at his sendoff rally, he really laid into all of his republican opponents for what he called their hysterical policies. >> do you know how crazy this election is? let me tell you something, i've about had it with these people. i'm sick and tired of listening to this nonsense and i'll have to call it like it is, as long as i'm in this race. >> reporter: the kasich campaign acknowledging to cnn this is, of course, a shift in his strategy in advance of tonight's debate, so it's very clear he's trying to shake things up. >> certainly a change in tone for kasich and also for trump, essentially begging voters to come out and support him. fascinating stuff. thanks so much. >>> meanwhile, clinton widening her lead in several state polls. appearing on the colbert show, insisting if she's elected, she'd take on the big banks and let them fail if necessary. >> you put forth a plan for reforming wall street and wall street embraced it. is that a good sign? >> well, i'm not sure what they're talking abou

john kasich, who some described as the only grown up in the sandbox. he joins me from beverlily hills, california. governor for, on friday, reince priebus sent a letter to nbc ending the relationship for the upcoming february debate. he said the cnbc debate was conducted in bad faith. it seems like you're the only one among the republican candidates not beefing about the way in which that debate was moderated. explain that to me. >> well, look. i mean, you play the cards that you're dealt, michael. and look, i don't like this format. harry truman could never have been elected president of the united states with a 30-second or a 60-second kind of response. and who can rev people up the most, that's just the way it works right now. look, if i had my way, i would break this down into smaller groups and give everybody more time to talk about who they are and what they believe. i'm not satisfied with the way this works. i love these could i have interviews where i can talk on a somewhat extended basis to people can hear who i am. my dad carried mail on his backs. my mother, her mothe

with the system that i have made" meanwhile, john kasich is making enemies...in the nba. kasich ran into the philadelphia 76ers in his new hampshire hotel. john kasich, esidential candidate: "the reason a lot of them make a lot of they have skill...not many skills lately low poll numbers, "at least we win the sixers decided politics and quickly the democratic iowa this weekend jackson dinner...t.t republicans will hit the severaof the early primary states. kenneth moton, abc news washington. " jenna: one republican presidential candidate was in iowa today. former texas senator ted cruz stopped for a meet and greet in clarinda this morning. cruz also made stops in atlantic as well as council bluffs. he plans to hit marshalltown and waterloo tomorrow to finish his two day stint in the state. tim:m: an early morningng police chase ended with an accident that claimed the life of the driver being pursued. according to iowa state patrol sergeant bluff police tried to pull over a man suspected of drunk driving. when the man failed to stop, that's when police started a a rsuit on old highwa

trump. i think the winner was kasich. he brought back the old compassionate conservative who understands when you cut things like medicare and medicaid it hurts people. the loser is ben carson. he came out said he wanted to cut medicare and medicaid entirely then he was for it because he realized it wasn't popular. >> some said he seemed to be over his head. kasich seemed to be screaming and yelling at people and lecturing people? >> if you were john kasich you need to get into the conversation. so many others are sucking the oxygen out of the room. i went for marco rubio. he was able to relate things in personal terms that would connect with the voter. he was a great communicator in that. as far as the loser, mr. trump, you are definitely getting fired when it comes to economic issues. your challenge by a hack serious debate moderator about your tax plan and all you can say is larry culto likes it like a child. you are not ready for prime time. what do you think in terms of immigration? >> immigration is a very complex issue. john kasich waudz the only candidate who really pointed that

still got to convert. if rubio doesn't rise, christie doesn't rise and kasich doesn't rise, rubio is going to say he's a candidate. >> i disagree with you, mark. carly had two great debates and rose and went back down. if marco, the press has been trying to put a crown on him for three months now. i don't think there's a benefit for jeb moving forward. that benefit is donald trump and ben carson. and locks once and for all there -- they were calling ben carson the front runner last night which is absolutely outstanding. this ben carson merge is probably a mirage. >> i agree christie has an opening here. he's extraordinarily strong. there's a reality they're going to have to get use to. they underestimated trump and carson and now cruz. i think it's possible if cruz rises and he has a lot of money to spend you may see the establishment between trump, carson and cruz getting enough establishme establishment. >> i think it's a stretch to call cruz an established candidate. >> he's not part of anything. >> okay. let's close this block with really one of the moments of the night where
