>> they are going up. >> right. >> when you look at this battle, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour now, and the ka candidates that want to raise it, isnt that important to qualify it by pointing out that actually this is really a state and city issue now? very few places pay $7.25 an hour at this point? >> thats right. i think more than half of the states actually have a higher level than that, and there had been a push for a $10.10 federal minimum wage, there had been legislation for th...

Pointing to the object is a ridiculous thing. the gun is not the problem. the problem is people are being raised in a society without proper leadership in their home. thats a problem ive had for quiet sometime. you said he chooses to be truthful, the president, and we have a leader that chooses to be truthful about the threat were facing in the middle east. what specifically is the president of the united states not being truthful about? >> well, i start with iran. iran is a radical theology tha...

Our country. on his gang of eight bill, he would have legalized immigration and he did not and he steadfastly opposed any new border security for refugees or students. last week, i introduced another bill saying we need more security. we need more scrutiny. once again, marco opposed this. so, marco cant have it both ways. he thinks he wants to be this, oh, im great and strong on national defense. but hes the weakest of all the candidates on immigration. he is the one for an open border that is l...

>> i want to thank rand for another 30 seconds because, number one, what hes pointing to is a bill last week that amendment that he voted for that only ten people voted for. you know why? because its not focused on terrorists. someone from taiwan would not have been able to come here as a tourist. this metadata program is actually more strict than what a regular law enforcement agency has now. if a regular law enforcement agency wants your phone records, all they have to do is issue a subpoena. ...

News poll out yesterday, that the muslim ban does seem to have a popular idea. about half of voters are in support of that plan. and among republican voters, the support numbers are even higher. >> but you know what i thought was so fascinating, jeremy, from that fox poll is the fact that 2/3 of republicans that were polled now see trump as a serious candidate. were talking about 65%. that is a reversal from june when 64% saw him as a side show. how did he change their minds? >> absolutely. you ...

"jeb." governor bush said, well, you cant just insult people, you cant become commander in chief if youre going to insult people all the way up. and trump said, all i know, jeb, im at 41 and youre at 3%. and jeb bush said, it doesnt matter. and of course, what hes saying is, it does not matter what your poll numbers are. what were talking about is the character and temperament of the person who is in charge of the security of this country. and what the poll numbers say is not really relevant to ...

About the importance of historical context, bush is a student. he has -- he does have the context more than some people who just dont take the time to pick up the books and read them. so i think that even though he didnt come across very well and even though his poll numbers are now still diving, you know, he is the more -- hes trying to make the point by attacking trump and pointing out his over the top commentary, that this is a serious, serious job and shes a serious, serious candidate. wheth...
