FOXNEWSW On The Record With Greta Van Susteren February 4, 2016

Race. He said it during a caucus. We need a commander in chief not a twit error in chief. Its he voter fraud when you think of it it. I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing donald has tweeted. What kind of thing are we dealing with these politicians . Because is he losing. It its honestly, really, really dishonest and i think i know why. Do you know why . Because he was born in canada. And just a short time ago, donald trump went on the record from trump tower. Donald, nice to see you. Hi, greta. Donald, i want to ask you about the election, of course. First i want your thoughts on president obama went to a mosque today in baltimore to talk about religious tolerance and contributions muslims have made in the United States. Your thoughts about that . I dont have muchght. I think that we can go to loss of places. Lots of places right now there. We have a lot of problems in this country, greta there are a lot of places he can go and he chose a mosque. I saw that a little while ago. Thats his decision. Thats fine. Let me turn to the election, New Hampshire, good news there. You are up 24 points. Does that mean its yours to lose . Well, i guess so. If thats what the polls are saying. The polls are very high and have been very good. I dont want to take it for granted, frankly, because you never know what happens. And we have a lot of people running. So we will see what happens. I have a great relationship with the people from New Hampshire. I have been up there many, many times. Last night we had a tremendous crowd. We had 5 people. It was incredible in two ballrooms actually because they didnt fit in one. There was tremendous spirit and love in that room i will a great relationship. All right. Let me turn to a little controversy in the campaign. You have tweeted that senator ted cruz stole the iowa election. And i should add that governor sarah palin, one of your supporters is hitting pretty hard on senator ted cruz on her facebook page. To senator ted cruz. What do you mean he stole the iowa contest . I think what he did is disgusting. He said that ben carson, who is a fantastic guy had dropped out of the race during the caucus. He had dropped out of the race and vote for ted cruz. All of those people come and vote for ted cruz, and many of them did. I think it was a disgrace that he did it. And i dont think it should be even allowed. I think those votes should be taken away and there were plenty of them. Number two, very important. He did a voter violation form. It looks like it comes from a federal government or at least the state government. The paper it was on everything about it it was disgraceful. It was a fraud as far as i was concerned. I looked at it. I just saw it a little while ago. When i looked at it i said wow, it looks like government is saying and then they grade you and they have got fs like failure, failure, f, f. They said you are going to straighten it out. Essentially go vote and go vote for ted cruz. Of course, he misrepresents on me all the time. Sells i like obamacare. I have been fighting obamacare ever since you have been interviewing me. I will get rid of it. Believe me i will repeal it and replace it it he tells everybody that walks, in donald trump, if you like drumple, you like obamacare. Give me a break. He knows4 its a lie. He really lies. I mean, i dont like to use that term but he real willlym lies. I now know why there is not one u. S. Senator that is supporting him. He works with these people and why everybody considers him to be not a very nice person. What he did to ben carson was a disgrace that he had quit the race. Everyone knew he didnt quit the race. And cruz knew he didnt quit the race. Then, after the election was over, he apologized. A lot of good that does. Are you saying that i mean, okay. Is it dirty or is it a mistake . Did he mistakingly . Because there was some report that it was a mistake that the campaign had tweeted that out. He didnt make a mistake. Come on, greta. You dont think its a mistake. No. Its not a mistake. He did it on purpose. Come on, you are not a baby, greta. He did it on purpose. And then he apologized after all the votes were counted. Thats thousands of votes that were taken away which, by the way, would have given me, in my opinion, would have given me the election. Because, you know, when the people went, in i won by 4 or 5 points. Now, i was very happy with second is place because a lot of people thought i shouldnt even go to iowa and partake and i came in second place. But, i will tell you what, i think what he did was a fraud and what he was a voter violation statement, looking like it it came from a government was a fraud i think its a disgrace that he did it what he did to dr. Ben carson, a very good dr. Ben carson, a very good person, he left 4 i think thats something that is really very serious. Now, i know the one situation is now being investigated by authorities in iowa, the voter violation form. Thats being under serious investigation. I think they should probably throw him out of iowa because i dont think what what he did is a disgrace. Its a disgrace to the electoral process to be honest with you, greta. Is your strategy in New Hampshire any different from your strategy in iowa . Well, its similar in the sense that we have tremendous meetings. I like to have small meetings but we have thousands of people show up. We have tremendous turnout. You saw that last night. It was amazing. Every time i go tomorrow as an example i have four or five different events. Theyre all pretty large events because a lot of people want to come. We had something a week ago where we had thousands of people and other candidates were there a day or two before. And they had like 44 people and 59 people. We are getting tremendous turnout. I long had a great relationship with New Hampshire. I have so many great friends up there. Its amazing place. I cant get this figured out. Why are you going to arkansas today . Well, you know, we have the sec coming up. And were going to have over 10,000 people. Somebody said it could be as much as 12,000 people. The sec is coming up in a few weeks. And we want to have at least one good shot and we think its important to do it. I just left New Hampshire. And were going to go right back. But we have a lot of people in arkansas hopefully voting for trump. I want to win the sec in a couple weeks. How about governor huckabee or senator rand paul . Have you spoken to them . I havent actually. Im close with i dont know rand very well. Im close with mike. I wish them both well. I heard rand just left. But i wish him well. All right. Donald, thank you for joining us. We will be watching tuesday night. Right now youre up 24 points in the latest poll. So, i dont know, we will be watching this one. Well, thank you very much. Its going to be very exciting. Well, donald trump and senator ted cruz are steaming mad at each other. Also on the attack many of the other candidates andfn their target florida senator marco rubio. A. B. Stoddard from the hill and fortune nina easton. Lets start with this dead cruz donald trump fight. There are going to be tears when we get in a fight. Yeah. I mean ted cruz is not going to take his first place victory and let donald trump threaten to full phi nullify it it they are going after the same voters. They were in iowa and they are going to be in New Hampshire. Donald trump, if he wants to win New Hampshire shouldnt go to arkansas a and he shouldnt threaten to sue or nullify someones electoral outcome. He needs to be in New Hampshire where he can see that he did not have great ground game that iowa working the ground and making sure he keeps that lead and turns out his voters to win on tuesday night. You know, nina, im just looking at the press release. This came out the Ted Cruz Cruz press release during the caucus. It says breaking news the press is reporting that dr. Ben carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after iowa making a big announcement next week. Please inform any carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for cruz. That is painful. Thats just wrong to dr. Ben carson. Its pushing the envelope. But its stating the fact that there was a wrong press report that said this out of cnn. But its not voter fraud as donald trump is suggesting. And very interesting to watch him last night with that gracious speech and . Uqitjj, of course we had before that a month ago the bromance between ted cruz and donald trump where when ted cruz talked about temporarily banning muslims from the u. S. , cruz wouldnt even attack him. I mean, they were very, very careful not to attack each other for the longest time. And now, you know, trump is grabbing the news cycle once again. He was quiet, keep in mind everybody was waiting for those tweets to come out. He is grabbing the news cycle once again and not just, you know, attacking cruz in a regular way but attacking him as having committed fraud, being disgusting, being deceitful. All those really strong, Strong Language that will make the press cover him. Well, this certainly if i were dr. Ben carson i would certainly be enraged. Is enraged and now donald trump is rushing to his defense when its the few minutes he was behind ben carson in polls in november he says he has psychological disease like a child molester, cant get rid of it donald trump should run with this and say ted cruz is a liar. He plays dirty. He shouldnt win and he was worn born in canada. I dont think he should threaten iowa to nullify the results of the iowa caucuses. Makes you look like a cry baby. Run with the criticism of cruz. Go with it. He is up a billion points in New Hampshire right now. We will see what New Hampshire thinks right now. Not a billion but 24, i think. A lot. Panel, thank you. Now, viewers, now it is your chance to vote at home on twitter. You have heard the candidates talk about it it does social media play a role in this 2016 race. Tweet yes or no using greta. We will show you your live twitter votes throughout the show. A. B. , nina, thank you both. The 2016 candidates spending the day trying to convince people of New Hampshire to make them president. Our country is going to hell. Going to hell. Monday night in iowa was incredible. New hampshire has a strange way of resetting races. Thats kind of what they do. Its a simple election. One party believes that the government should make the decision. The other party believes you should make the decision. We cannot afford to wake up in november to the news that we have a president namedhx benny sanderson Bernie Sanders or hillary clinton. Obviously the feud between donald trump and ted cruz is taking all the political oxygen today. I dont know if you have seen it but donald trump has accused ted cruz of stealing the iowa election. Committing fraud by his campaign, tweeting out that dr. Ben carson was suspending his campaign. I know youre going after donald trump. You have a new ad out that says turn off trump. So tell me where are you on this feud . Are you team trump or team cruz . Im on team jeb. Im working hard doing town Hall Meetings all across the state. People dont care about that feud. They care about how we are going to fix Social Security and how we are going to destroy isis. Donald trump lost and it its hard for a guy who always says he wins to lose but he better get used to it. All right. Let me turn now to New Hampshire. You have been in a lot of president ial campaigns. Pretty intimately involved, 1988, 1992, 2,000, 2004. How does 2016, the overall step back and be sort of a student of election . How does s. This one different . Well, its different because our country is adrift. And people are scared and theyre angry. Its unprecedented the degree to which people think that our country is in decline. Thats dramatically different than 1980 even then. Its different because all the new forms of media as well. People can basically customize how they get information. But whats the same is that people in New Hampshire are discerns voters. They challenge candidates. They want them to walk on the hot coals. There is nothing different there. A poll came out today that showed me in second place and i think its because there are other candidates doing this as well. I do a lot of town Hall Meetings. I take the time to listen. I sho the depth of knowledge that i have. The ideas that i have to lift people up. And show good humor. Ask people questions. All the things that in New Hampshire is expected. And i think youre going to be rewarded when you do that. Well, the polling cite dont use at fox news because of its methodology. There is another poll that you are the first in the governors. You are ahead of governor kasich and ahead of governor christie. You and the other two governors present as different candidate than as the senators or businessman or even doctor. Yep. I have no idea. I know that you have called the ones who won in iowa, what have they done . U compared them to president obama. Gifted speakers for sure. Very talented politicians. What in their record suggest they can make an appropriate decision. I have 8 years as conservative governor that really transformed the state. These are gift senators but they havent passed bills of consequence that became law and nothing in their background would suggest that they could make a tough decision, run to the problem, solve the problem. In fact wharksz we see is that politicians now pursuing their ambitions basically cut and run when the going gets tough. Right now we need a strong leader to keep a steady hand to deal with the threats of isis in the nation states like china and russia that are running roughshod over us and economy that is anemic beyond belief. Do you think that you and ben carson and maybe even governor kasich have disadvantage because you guys are low key and you Razzle Dazzle us with tweets . Im not going to insult my way to the white house nor is anybody else. Ultimately the Party Nominee better have a hopeful message that lifts peoples spirits up. Its not my nature to disparage people. Its just not who i am. Leadership skills to be effective president. Ultimately thats what people are deciding here in New Hampshire. They are deciding who is going to be the president of the United States or at least be the Party Nominee. And when that conversation is focused on, i think i pretty well. I understanding your mother is joining you on the trail. Yeah. Tomorrow night. Shes coming out and im looking forward to it i love my mother, and so does america. So, im excited that shes going to be with me and my brother is hopefully going to campaign vd ; later on as well. Which can brother . You have more than one. Well, yeah, neil and marvin have already been helpful and so has george. George hasnt had a Public Campaign visit yet and i hope he does. We look forward to seeing that and we will cover that as well. Thank you very much, governor. Good luck, sir. Thanks, greta. Thank you. Well, its not just donald trump calling senator ted cruz a cheater. Senator Bernie Sanders says iowa cant add. He thinks there is some fuzzy math and he has not con sueded iowa to secretary hillary clinton. The vermont senator is now raising questions over tight win in iowa. They started off as the anointed candidacy and they ended up winning by. 02 of one percent. It was wonderful to win the caucus it . May be the case that some delegates were selected based on the flip of a coin. Democracy. I believe the Democratic Party of iowa ran a good caucus. We will be talking to the iowa state democratic officials, . Xn but we are now focus canning on New Hampshire. Former democratic president ial candidate Dennis Kucinich goes on the record. Good evening, sir. Hi, greta. Good to be with you. Upset because in six precincts there were coin tosses. I read a news report tonight that said that there were seven coin tosses in iowa. And that Bernie Sanders won six of them. Now, you cant complain about winning six out of seven. That there is a concern well, could the election have gone another way . I think that Bernie Sanders came out of iowa very well and he should his campaign it is and should continue to celebrated its showing. I had no idea you were such a visionary. You were here a week ago. I asked your prediction. Im going to it take to you vegas because this is what happened a week ago. So, what is your prediction . Its take a coin, flip it. This could go either way. You knew it was going to be a coin toss. Ha. Let me tell you New Hampshire wont be. Anyways, i will give you credit for that one. What was he even gained by this . I dont understand how sanders or clinton could claim this a win. This was a tie. It was so close to a tie. No matter if won by a hair or not. In politics, marco rubio declared he won and he was third. You have to understand the psychology in a campaign, if you did better than you thought you would do you claim victory. Thats what both camps have done. The truth of the matter is iowa set the stage forzk a longer campaign and i think were going to see once we get out of New Hampshire and turn the corner into South Carolina and nevada, we may see the race looking a little bit differently. I think its actually i think its stupid thing for senators to chant go into iowa. He is about 300 points ahead in New Hampshire. And so he is distracting us with this thing. I mean, he should be talking about the pounding he is going to do if that does indeed happen to secretary clinton. She won in 2008. But, you know, why is he doing this. The campaign has said they want to focus on New Hampshire. They are the unones bringing up. The optics raise questions about where is your focus you . Have to look forward in politics. You cant look back. It looks petty. Its a tie. Well, again, there sh
