It comes in the form of a robo call and radio ad from a super baghdad called the courageous conservative pac which is independent from the Cruz Campaign. But it is meant to help mr. Cruz and it goes after donald trump for his comments made earlier this week on tuesday, in fact, when he suggested that he supported nikki haley, the governor of South Carolina, and her move last year to remove the confederate battle flag.

Donald trump had a double digit lead for weeks so expectations are high after battling with the pope and former president george w.

Before the war started, i was against that war. The latest poll shows trump ahead but in a virtual tie with ted cruz within the margin of error. Cruz came in third in New Hampshire and would get a huge boost. Just this week, donald trump said in a tv program, that he would be neutral between israel and the palestinians. So let me tell you.

It was supposed to be an opportunity for ted cruz to explain what carson has called the dirty tricks that he suffered in the iowa caucuses. They met, believe it or not mark the broom closet at an event in greenville. Carson said it did not go well. The Cruz Campaign acknowledges there was a meeting but wont comment on the tone of it.

Tonight, the chief corn Katherine Harris has the latest on the battle that could end up before the u. S. Supreme court. With todays 35page court ruling, the gloves are off. They said the refusal to unlock the phone is a Marketing Strategy where the tech giant is putting its interests above the rule of law. Despite its efforts, apple nonetheless has the ability and so should be required to obey it. Rather than assist the fbi which is exploring whether the San Bernardino terrorists had outside help, the judge said apple is refusing and has the ability to bypass the password without destroying the data. In todays filing on behalf of the attorney general loretta lynch, and fbi director james comey, they were told that Software Developed to open the iphone will not be shared with the fbi and apple could destroy it. If the fbi can course an tol build a key, you can be sure authoritarian regimes like china and russia will turn around and force apple to hand it over to them. They will use that key to oppress their own people and steal u. S. Trade secrets. They said the fbi wants a back door and this weakens Data Security for the individual consumer and the government. Because encryption can be used by anyone with that knowledge. Trump called for a boycott of apple products until the fbi works with the fbi. Thank you. As you mentioned, donald trump said he will stop using his iphone until apple cooperates with the government and he said you should too. First, apple ought to give the security for that phone. What i think you ought to do is boycott apple until such time as they give that security number. I just thought of that. Boycott apple. Boycott would be no easy task but could really harm the company. Research estimates that at the end of last year, 103 million iphones were in use in the u. S. Thats not counting other devices.

About 12 and a half hours before the polls open in the first in the south primary. Making a lot of money is for many the American Dream. But when it comes time for elections, rich people are usually demonized for having so much money. Should they be . What doctor do have jayz and dr. Zuckerberg have in common . A lot of money. Greed for a better word is good. Not on the campaign trail. The wealthy will have to pay their fair share. We have a rigged economy. Bernie, you have to know something, buddy. Youre a nice man. A very nice man and you mean well. Most do play by the rules. Nikes did not get rich because of handouts or a rigged system. These are the people giving us jobs. We analyzed the 400 richest americans. They employ more than 10 Million People across the country. They owe their kids education to these socalled fat cats. Right now the wealthy pay too little and the middle class pays too much. We look at stupid politics. Thats what people do to try to get people to vote for them. Stupid because tax policy can kill the golden goose. When job creators leave, so does the capital. Youre working seven or eight months out of year just to pay taxes . Many economists agree. Demonizing billionaires may be good politics but it is bad economics. If there is a ceo that is creating a lot of value for shareholders, wealth for the economy, the value theyre creating is so much greater than their actual compensation. The irony is while many young want to tax rich, theyre saying on it a bill gates software while using an iphone developed by another billionaire, the late steve jobs. Thank you.
