Blanketing the early states. Youll hear from this hour. Armed men occupy a Federal Building in oregon. Theyre refusing to leave. What happens if Law Enforcement trues to force them out . New developments ahead. Hello, everyone, im kate bolduan. Im john berman. The breaking news this morning, stock market plunging. The dow is down 450 points as we speak. The reasons include fears over economic slowdowns and unrest in the middle east. The selloff started in china. Looks like it has made its way here now. Joining us now to tell us what this is all about and what its going to look like today is cnns chief business correspondent, christine romans. How bad do you think its going to get . It started in china, youre right. The Chinese Market stumbled 7 lower and then they halted trading for the first time ever. Triggering Circuit Breakers for the first time ever. China closed and then europe picked up the ball and sold stocks. Selling stocks robustly around the world and buying gold and bonds. Thats the fear factor you can see rushing into the safety of gold and bonds. The Dow Jones Industrial average now below 17,000 and really starting the year on a cranky note,ly say. Chinas manufacturing number gets the blame to begin with but there was a u. S. Manufacturing number that was also a little weak, causing concerns about Global Growth slowing. And then you add onto this the situation between the middle east between saudi arabia and iran and that really added fuel to the fire. What about that . Youre dealing with a huge percentage of the World Oil Reserves right there in the middle of that conflict. Oil prices have been low, historically low. Theyve been low. Thats been a problem for saudi arabia, right . They depend on oil revenues to run their country. Now you have these two countries, these two countries already at opposite ends of many global conflicts. Many conflicts in the region now that tensions are ratcheting up, a lot of concern about what that means for world stability, middle east stability and also oil prices. Oil prices did spike higher briefly but theyve settled out here. Everyone thinks saudi arabia is going to continue to pump oil as fast as it can. Iran will bring yoil onoil onass they can. 452 points down as we sit here at 11 03 eastern time. An ugly day so far. Thanks. Thanks. Lets turn to politics now and they are off, folks. The race for 2016 enters 2016 with a major push from the top president ial contenders. They are out in force with more than a Dozen Campaign events scheduled just today. Perhaps the most anticipated event isnt even with a candidate now. Moments from now, former president bill clinton will be making his first solo appearance on the trail stumping. Hillary clinton in New Hampshire. We have live pictures from New Hampshire. Im crossing my fingers. No. There are no live pictures. You have to take our word for it bill clinton will be there, he will be in a room of, well get to nassua, New Hampshire, where bill clinton theres live pictures prosecute bill clinton will be speaking in a few minutes. Hillary clinton did win there in 2000 coming from behind and, of course, today, Everyone Wants to know if bill clinton will respond to sdth trudonald trump raising the clinton sexual history, if you will. We will bring you bill clintons speech live the second he steps on the stage. Well have the picture ready. Cnns senior Political CorrespondentBreanna Keilar is at nassua community college. What do we expect . Reporter we expect bill clinton here and so much attention pardon me, the program is just Getting Started here. We are expecting bill clinton, and this would be a bill deals anyway because this is his first time coming out on the campaign trail for his wife. Its an even bigger deal with donald trump really making an issue of his past. He has this event here in nassua and later hell be going to exiter where hell be at town hall trying to organize volunteers who are so key to Hillary Clintons chances during the New Hampshire primary. Of course, all of this comes not only as donald trump is making an issue of bill clinton, but as Hillary Clinton was here in New Hampshire yesterday and she was actually heckled by a republican state lawmaker over the former president s past indiscretions. Listen. Here we go. Right there. You are very rude and im not ever going to call on you. Thank you. Reporter so, a big issue there. Im going to send it back to you guys as the National Anthem starts here in nashua. Breanna keilar, thank you so much. Well check back in with you and keep our eye on that podium. Bill clinton due in a few minutes. Lets check in on another potential hopeful making news, Chris Christie, just wrapping up a speech on what he calls restoring american leadership. He is also in New Hampshire, the centerpiece of his path to the white house. Cnns phil mattingly, welcome, phil, joins us now from manchester with details on the christie speech. Phil, this was a big speech, the campaign highlighted this. Wanted us all to see it. What was the message . The message is pivoting. Chris christie says he understands the need for no political correctness. The anger among the electorate but its time to move on from the tvspecific candidates. Take a listen. Showtime is over, everybody. We are not electing an entertainer in chief. Showmanship is fun but its not the kind of leadership that will truly change america. Reporter now, behind me in a little over an hour, Chris Christie is expected to hold a town hall. The town hall is really the thing people here in New Hampshire has driven his rise firmly into that tier of candidates, fighting for the nondonald trump related New Hampshire vote. Thats obviously crucial for Chris Christie. More than 40 town halls in 2015. This event here will be his fourth of nine over the course of three days in this new year. For Chris Christie, its not just about the message of hes a governor that can get things done in new jersey. He spent a lot of time in New Hampshire. As you just heard, its a message of hes a serious candidate. Hes not from d. C. But he has experience. That, hes hoping, can translate. Maybe steal some voters who are angry but also want some sense of the ability to get things done. Guys . Phil, with all of that in mind and the fact this has definitely been the centerpiece of his strategy, is New Hampshire, hes also christie is shifting some focus to New Hampshire to iowa. Im sorry. New hampshire to New Hampshire. Thats why john is here. To iowa. What is the opening he sees there . Reporter theres the sense that if he can do better than expected, and i think up over the last couple months, nobody has expected him to make much of a dense in iowa, however he has a group of supporters there that are important, he has close ties with terry bran stestad. The expectations have long been low that that would add momentum coming in just seven days later to this crucial New Hampshire contest. Again, no expectation hell wander into iowa and win or wander into iowa and maybe even come in the top two. But if he can do something there to where he comes out of iowa with people saying, hey, Chris Christie did better there than ever expected, that sends him into New Hampshire. A mustwin primary there with some momentum. Momentum he hopes to translate not just to a top two or three finish but a top finish. Phil, great to see you. Also this morning, donald trump made a Little Campaign history in trump terms. He actually put out his First Television ad of the campaign. Look at this. The politicians can pretend its Something Else but donald trump calls it radical islamic terrorism. Thats why hes calling for a temporary shutdown of muslims entering the United States until we can figure out whats going on. Hell quickly cut the head off isis and take their oil. And hell stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that mexico will pay for. The ad is as blunt as it is direct. Lets bring in cnns chief Political Correspondent dana bash for more on this. He puts out the ad. What are people saying about it . What does the Trump Campaign hope comes from it . Reporter it was about as subtle as any donald trump message tends to be, particularly when youre looking at what he said about isis. What theyre hoping is in these last four weeks, they can move beyond what donald trump has had for the past six months, which in political terms is called earned media. Not spent one dime on Television Ads like this. And really try to coalesce his message and condense his message into this 30 seconds that you just or the longer part thaw just played to try to make sure his lead in the polls actually translates to getting people interested in going from their homes to the caucuses in iowa, to the polls in New Hampshire and beyond. You really get a sense today, dana, that its on. You have all of the candidates out, not just on the trail, but delivering messages that arent placeholders. Messages they want to see break through. Marco rubio had a big event today in New Hampshire. Reporter so fascinating. Marco rubio is hoping, hoping that, as you were talking about earlier about New Hampshire, that he can sort of gibegin to really take the lead and be the guy that the establishment clings onto. Particularly postiowa. So, hes trying to more and more contrast himself and his experience, his knowledge, not just of domestic policy, but more specifically his National Security chops and contrast that with donald trump. Now, hes not naming him by name, but its pretty clear who hes talking about. Listen to part of that speech this morning. Words and political stunts cannot ensure our security. Isis cannot be filibustered. The job is not described in the constitution as entertainer in chief or commentator in chief or even, frankly, economist in chief. It is described as commander in chief. If you cant be bothered to offer specifics on how you will perform that job, then, quite frankly, you dont deserve that job. Reporter so, that was kind of a doublewhammy, talking clearly about trump as the entertainer in chief and saying, isis cannot be filibustered. A shot across the bow at, of course, ted cruz who, you know, filibustered as much as he could in the name of stopping obamacare in the senate. Its obvious why he did it in New Hampshire. As we were talking about, that is the place where he is hoping that he can do well and that would spring him down into South Carolina, where he has actually been more than any other candidate. Just looking ahead to the calendar, guys, South Carolina, you think of as a place that has a lot of evangelicals and maybe, you know, conservative, but they tend to go with the more establishment candidate historically. George w. Bush, even newt gingrich, speaker of the house. The Foreign Policy vote, they think will get the military vote. Reporter exactly. You heard marco rubio say we dont need an entertainment in chief, we need a commander in chief. You heard almost the exact same line from Chris Christie this morning in New Hampshire. Its interesting to see the same republicans using the same lines but nothing sticks. What changes as were in this sprint to iowa hanl ham early primary states . Reporter these candidates feel like theyve got nothing to lose. Theyre hoping beyond hope that now as you all said, you know, its on. And it is time not just to be talking and time not just to be telling pollsters on the telephone what you support and what you dont support. Youre going to have to actually go and vote. So the hope among all of these nontrump candidates, particularly as weve seen explicitly from rubio and christie this morning, is that voters will wake up and say, you know what, its been a fun ride but im going to go with somebody who i think i can sort of feel most comfortable with on these dire issues, particularly on National Security. You know, its interesting. It may not hurt trump at all, but it might be that rubio and christie and jeb bush start, too, theyre trying to edge each other out. Theyre trying to prove they are the establishment, particularly in New Hampshire. It will be interesting to see how far theyre willing to go with this in the coming days. Dana bash, thanks so much. Thanks, dana. Again, moments from now, bill clinton will be making his first solo appearance on the campaign trail. Looking at live pictures there from New Hampshire. As also this comes as donald trump rips into the former president and his wife over sexism. Will bill clinton push back . Will he respond . Were going to take it live. Well bring you to it.

We will be here as long as it takes, thats what the leader of a group of armed protesters is saying about occupying a Federal Building in oregon. This has been going on since the weekend. Protesters there say they are upset about government overreach. Theyre also upset that government overreach and what the government has been doing in taking their land, they say, and that federal authorities are preventing the people from using the land and its resources. So, federal authorities released a statement of their own, saying the fbi is working with the county sheriffs office, Oregon State Police and other local and law earn forcement agencies to bring a peaceful resolution at this wildlife refuge. Sara sidner is there. You spoke to the leader, you can call it a protest, a takeover, you can call it whatever you want. What did they say . Reporter you can call it a takeover. Theres no one here from the federal government or police to take over. They have taken over a federal Court Building here in the muleur wildlife refuge. Were about 30 miles from burns, oregon, which is the closest town. They put a flag over the sign. And then youll see this tower here, a lookout tower. There is someone from the group that is up in that tower looking down to spot anyone who comes to this area. This is the only way in, basically. Youd have to go way down that road down there. It is wilderness. This is miles and miles and miles of wilderness with not much around it. According to amon bumon bundy, helped bring this group together, who is from out of state, they say, look, if he feel like the federal government has overstepped its bounds, taken land that should belong to the ranchers and farmers so that the ranchers and farmers can work the lan
