do you think the tone of governor nikki haley's state of the state speech will be different this year after so many tragedies -- tragedies? >> i think it will. you mentioned the fact the senator's widow will be here and invited here. something he fought for during his career was to make sure we expanded insurance coverage for people who are working and can't afford insurance and governor nikki haley should address that. i hope she will. we had a hospital closed, and the fact we don't have many of our working folks who are eligible for insurance coverage covered because she doesn't agree with that and you mentioned the floods, she will give us her plan for fixing the pot holes. we don't want to hear about loop homes. we want to hear about fixing the roads and education. she indicated last week she had a plan for education. that is an interest to us in south carolina. and finally, you know, the farmers impacted by the flood and we have had federal assistance out there. we want to hear what her plan is to make sure the money gets to the farmers. >> reporter: thank you so much. after gove

i think nikki haley cast her lot with the establishment. you heard in the spot that i reported just a moment ago, she decried the loud voices within the republican party, a clear allusion to donald trump. she also said that the g.o.p. has contributed to the erosion of public trust in leadership around the country. many voices on the right in the aftermath of that speech are angry, saying that nikki haley has betrayed conservative values, however, main stream voices such as the rnchave cheered nikki haley. >> thanks, mike. >>> pakistani officials are investigating a suicide attack near a polio evacuation center. at least 14 people died. 12 of the dead were police. the bombing happened shortly before vaccination teams were to be dispatched as part of an immunization campaign. >>> isil has claimed responsible for an pakistani attack. a suicide bomber was killed during the attack. two other gunmen were later killed in a gun battle with security forces. >>> and turkey says one person is now in custody in connection with tuesday's attack in istan

let's start with donald trump and nikki haley, basically it seems trying at least nikki haley trying to back off from her attack if you will on donald trump. let's roll that. talking with carl cameron. >> i consider him a friend. he supported me during my gubernatorial race. what we were talking about when we talked about the angriest voices, this goes back to how we talk about immigration and remembering that there's illegal immigration and there is legal immigration and in the speech you heard me say we welcome legal immigrants but what is so important is as we need them to feel welcome. >> a little touchy they are. lou: governor haley was doing fine and then she wasn't doing fine. >> here's the thing, we spoke about this yesterday on cavuto where i said listen i guarantee i don't have the evidence but usually these very tight, these guys in the republican establishment coordinate everything and i believe this was coordinated. within five minutes the rnc is on the phone demanding we go out there and say it wasn't coordinated so i think they feel a lot of heat and -- lou: nikki hale

so i have nothing against nikki haley. i will say that she has been to my office on a number of occasions and, you know, campaign contributions and i have no problem with that. but i do think that it's something that can be told, but i don't like her stance on illegal immigration. >> so are you all right with her speech then? she's considered a rising star in your party. she was hand picked by the leadership to deliver that prime time response to the president. and nikki haley adviser tells our dana bash that they took a look at the speech before she delivered it, they read the whole thing, they didn't make any changes. are you okay with that? >> well, they have to do what they have to do. erin, they have to do what they have to do. i'm leading by a tremendous amount nationally. i'm leading in every state including actually iowa, if you look at the recent polls. but i'm leading in every state. i'm leading nationally by very, very large numbers. i'm leading in south carolina incredible people in south carolina. and i'm lead

a lot are nikki haley supporters. i don't think the conservatives will be upset the way nikki have had it. i think i saw them applaud the tone she took last night. >> takar, now to you. >> i looked at it in two ways. i have never seen a speech, state of the union response in which democrats, be like dennis mcdon know, the white house chief of staff, came out and applauded nikki haley. and the republican front-runner was taken to task in that speech. it was a bit ironic. nikki haley last night gave a speech absent any policy or political depth whatsoever. today, we have to applaud that speech because it wasn't wrought with any hatred or divisiveness. so nikki haley is a friend of mine. both from the same county in south carolina. we're both pretty cup. i was proud of her on the national stage. >> well, your country aside, your countriness aside, i think the fact that dennis mcdon know supported it may not bode well if you are fighting from a republican perspective. but duly noted. this is nikki haley talk to go don lem

al, let's take a second talk about nikki haley. the best thing that anyone can do with a response to the state of the union is just not mess it up. what is the republican party expecting? perfectly,med it up there are very few people of ever benefited much from a response. nikki haley will be wants rather carefully by people in the party. she is on almost every short list for potential vice presidents. we don't have the slightest idea who would be the nominee, nor who that person would pick, but she is what we call an attractive prospect. it will be interesting to watch, i don't expect any great insight, but she will probably give a very confident speech. >> one of the things we heard from the president is that he almost spoke as if he was an outsider. he said let's change the system, let's do it together. leave this office i will be a citizen just like you. there are elements of things that he has said before about changing gerrymandering and getting a voter registration to work better. aboutid we learn tonight what he is going to

should deport nikki haley." as you know, nikki haley was born to immigrant parents, but she was actually born in south carolina. but that said, you get the drift here. so does this mean anything? should we take away anything from this, noah? >> yeah, i mean, to me, haley's address was in some ways more remarkable than obama's. have you ever had a situation where the president and his, you know, supposed adversary are going after the same person? i think it's a sort of cry from sort of traditional mainstream politics to try to keep the fringe from taking over. and i thought it was amazing. >> donald trump did respond on fox news this morning, errol. he said that -- i'm going to pull this up so i can get it exactly right. he said, "nikki haley is very weak on illegal immigration" and added that "she's not off to a good start if she wants to be considered for his running mate." thoughts? go ahead, errol. >> i mean, you know, that -- the conventional wisdom is that nikki haley's remarkable performance, i mean, i agr

your reaction to nikki haley's response last night? >> i think governor haley did a nice job overall, but i think this whole kerfuffle is a nonissue. mother teresa had a great effective impact and do did bobby knight and lou holtz. there's a continued of presentation and forcefulness. and along that continuum, different styles should work. i don't think they should say there's a one size fits all leadership style. >> and the pawlenty style has always be mother teresa style. david corn, let's listen to this extraordinary passage in which she allowed her party to take blame for some of our political dysfunction. let's listen to this. >> we need to be honest with each other. and with ourselves. while democrats in washington bear much responsibility for the problems facing america today, they do not bear it alone. there's more than enough blame to go around. we as republicans need to own that truth. we need to recognize our contributions to the erosion of the public trust in america's leadership. we need to accept that we've played a role
