For a showdown that you will only see on cnn. We know now there will be nine, not eight, podiums on the stage for the prime time debate. That is because rand paul was saved from being cut at the 11th hour. Thanks to a new poll just out this morning. But first, the rest of the lineup, donald trump front and center. Of course, he is ranking first in all of the National Polls. He will be flanked by his new closest rival ted cruz as well as ben carson. Also on the main stage, marco r rubio, jeb bush, Chris Christie and rand paul and in tuesdays undercard debate, huckabee, graham, pitaki will face off. We have the best Political Team in television covering this story like only they can beginning with my friend john burman live in las vegas with more on rand pauls lastsecond save and what is looking, john, to be quite a showdown between donald trump and ted cruz. You know, there are nine candidates will be on that main stage, poppy. Any combination of showdowns here. The last Republican Debate of 2015. That, of course, so important. But you know what . Its also the first Republican Debate since so much has happened. Think of how much the world has changed over the last month. The attacks in paris, the attacks in San Bernardino. So that will be the backdrop. National security. How will the candidates argue that he or she is the best to handle the issue of National Security and keeping this country safe from terrorism . As you said, theres a new person standing at the center of the stage, ted cruz right next to donald trump. What will that mean . Joining me now to talk about all of this, cnns political director david calian and cnn political commentator and columnist s. E. Cupp. Before the humans on the stage, nine of them in the prime time debate, talk about the setting here. The geopolitical setting. I think the most important thing thats happened is paris. Is San Bernardino. As a backdrop, that i think will drive this debate. Without a doubt. Think back, john. The debates that were driving the republican nomination process before the terrorist attack, the immigration debates, economic debates, still there, obviously, as the Campaign Goes forward but the Political Landscape shifted when the attacks in paris and San Bernardino came to the forefront and it is now a moment of a commander in chief test. This is now an opportunity for these nine people and four people in the first debate to present their case to republican primary voters about why they are the standard they should be the standard bearer for the party to pass this commander in test. For at least two candidates, you can track real change as a result. I think of those two events. I think for ben carson, it became very clear that if this election were going to be focused primarily on Foreign Policy he was not the right person for the time so you have seen him dip in the polls and Chris Christie rise at least in gaining that Union Leader Endorsement talking a lot about Foreign Policy and terrorism and having been tested as a governor of new jersey before. Even before the terrorist attacks. Thats the other thing of Chris Christie. Right. Hes been able to have a consistent message because he was talking about Foreign Policy, iran, other areas a lot on the campaign trail in new hampshire. Right. When the focus turned he was already there. Yeah, yeah. Theres a difference of opinion, s. E. On the main stage about how to deal with terrorism. Oh, for sure. I mean, whats so great, in fact, about the Republican Party and the conservative movement is theres such intellectual diversity especially for Foreign Policy with rand paul at the end of the stage to hes happy to be anywhere on the stage. Right. To Chris Christie. Even in the undercard debate when you look at the policies of Rick Santorum and lindsay gr graham, you have real hawkish group and wing represented. You have sort of a pseudolibertarian noninterventionist wing represented. You have trump and cant define in terms of politics just in terms of his bluster an enthen you have got ted cruz weaving the way through this, rubio trying to just sort of remain calm. Carly fiorina trying to put her Foreign Policy chops up there. Its interesting youre saying what you have is a Republican Party searching for what its Foreign Policy doctrine is postgeorge w. Bush. That is whens going to be happening. This is no one doctrine. Lets talk about the calian cheat sheet, shall we . Three big dynamics driving the debate. Number one, ted cruz. Man of the moment. Yeah. Moving closer to the center of the stage. Yeah. Listen. We saw that poll in iowa leading donald trump by ten points and moving up in National Polls within striking distance and National Polls out today. This is a moment you were saying sort of ted cruz weaving the way and a testing moment for ted cruz and with getting closer to the center of the stage and being a person thats now looked at as a frontrunner for the nomination, comes the responsibility with that about being more clear in his path. And i think that ted cruz has a real needle to thread. I think hes been in different plays and nows the moment for a clear, consistent policy prescription for these issues. Yeah. I think well get to see whether ted cruzs strategy of bear hugging trump and carson, we know its worked for carson because carson, i think ted cruz is able to pull off some of carsons voters. Trump has not dipped at all. All these polls, cruz surge, trump is up a little bit, too. Dipped in iowa. Nationally he hasnt. Ted cruz is hoping this bear hug turns into trump voters for cruz some point. Im not sure he doesnt have to take the gloves off to get there. Donald trump is going to be dealing with something new this debate, also. One week ago tomorrow coming out with the pronouncement to ban all muslims from entering the United States. So hes going to have to defend that on that stage and the eight other candidates i imagine are going to go in with an idea of how to address it, as well. So interesting to watch and clear from his immediamedia apps and no ones backing down. This is a guy whos defended, you know, eisenhowers Operation Wetback and japanese internment camps for the sales pitch of a tough Foreign Policy and expect him to be just as direct on the muslim ban as he has been in the past two weeks. I think he has more support in the polls. You have seen a majority of republicans polled in the cbs news poll and support the policy. Heres the other thing, though. All the other candidates responded out on the campaign trail to the trump proposal and havent seen them together on the stage and how they respond to him in the moment is a big deal. Lets ask quickly about marco rubio. Oh, wow, rubio with the best debate performance of all and not moved really in the National Polls too much. So, david, whens he face . I think a twopronged effort here. Listen. He and cruz fighting on the campaign trail via press releases, interviews. That is moment where hes got the sort of show im willing to take on what i think is ted cruzs failed policies, proposals if he believes that. He also needs to deal with the other wing. Hes establishment lane and got to come out of the debate as the stronger, the strongest establishment guy, better than christie and kasich and bush. Because he needs to vanquish the guys to train attention on ted cruz going forward. Last word . Living in two places right now and you are right. He has to defend that. Marco rubio always gives a great debate performance and i think will do the same on tuesday night. Well see. Tuesday night right here. Thank you so much. Well have much more live coverage from las vegas at the venetian later. But first, back to poppy harlow in new york. Poppy . Have fun. You are in your element, my friend.

We have new information about the fbis search of that lake, did they find anything . Well tell you the results. Also, we are learning more about red flags involving the female shooter.

Its so easy with venture. You earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. Just book any flight you want then use your miles to cover the cost. Now, thats more like it. Whats in your wallet . We have just learned that an exhaustive threeday fbi search of the lake in San Bernardino has recovered no items linked to the terror attack there. That search will continue for one of the top items of interest. Of course, the investigators want, where are the hard drives in that are missing from the terrorist computers . We also have brand new information on the female shooter, Tashfeen Malik. Authorities found old social media posts discussing the views on violent jihad according to the New York Times. I was in San Bernardino recently reporting on the horror and the despair, all that that community is going through. Anna cabrera joins me now live from San Bernardino. What when you look at her, Tashfeen Malik, the New York Times report is disturbing, right . She passed three background checks by u. S. Immigration officials and yet none of this came up, anna. Reporter and thats because they didnt check her social media accounts. It was not part of the screen process coming these ky1 if fiancee visas and missed it apparently according to the New York Times social media postings made openly talking about support of violent jihad, wanted to participate in it and made no effort to hide her support and her views according to the New York Times report and citing some sourceless here in the u. S. Law enforcement area. Now, we have learned that that visa process is something thats very much under scrutiny right now. The Obama Administration ordering a thorough review and also learned that they have in the past few months, state department has included social Media Communications as part of the security screenings of applicants of certain countries but Law Enforcement officials confirming to cnn at the time that Tashfeen Malik came into the u. S. In july of 2014 they werent looking at social media. Poppy . Wow. It is amazing because apparently she made no effort to hide the feelings on the postings. Lets talk about what is the most important, the victims. You are standing in front of one of the memorials there for the vict victims. Can you walk us through and what people are saying as they pay their respects . Reporter we have seen a constant stream of Community Members come and pay tribute to the victims here. Many left behind items lifting up the community, candles, flowers, balloons, american flags. Really trying to show expressions of being united and encouragement. We also are seeing a lot of spirituality out here. A lot of signs like this that say prayers go to all family who is lost all. I have been talking to some of the people who have been stopping by who may or may not have known any of the victims at all but say this is our community. We never expected this to happen here. And they are deeply affected. A woman with tears coming down her face and you can see this is part of the healing process for a lot of these families and this community being able to leave their messages just out there sending out prayers of jesus saves, our prayers to your family members and loved ones and god bless you all and the sentiment hearing over and over again, poppy. It is worth mentioning that tomorrow again is monday and its supposed the day that many of the Environmental Health workers return to the department, Environmental Health department will be open for the First Time Since the shooting and most of the victims here we know were Health Inspectors with the department of Environmental Health here in San Bernardino county. Back to you. Anna, thank you very much for that report. Live for us this evening from San Bernardino. Coming up, well return to politics and las vegas. The site of cnns republican president ial debate. Straight ahead, well talk donald trump and the proposal to temporarily ban muslims from traveling to the United States and a muslimamerican republican weighs in on why she is calling this a shameful day for this country.

Republican frontrunner donald trump talking more about his proposal to temporarily ban muslims from entering the United States. On cnn state of the union today trump said the muslim friends he says they are glad theyre discussing this idea. Listen. I have many friends that are muslims and i will tell you they are so happy that i did this because they know they have a problem. When my friends call me up and they call me up very strongly and they say its something these are muslims. They say its something, donald, that has to be talked about. They dont support the ban. Not really. Why would that . Without the ban you dont make the point. Youre not going to be able to make the point. Joining me now, saba ahmed, founder of the coalition. Interesting listening to donald trump because he didnt say that the friends in favor of the travel ban and said that his muslim friends, he didnt say who the friends are, but he said that theyre glad hes bringing up this idea. Do you buy this . I think muslims are happy because we for the first time got republicans defending muslims. I think we were happy in that sense but we were absolutely horrified by the unconstitutional plans to ban all travel for muslims and controlling Foreign Policy of religion and its absolutely unconstitutional and everybody has due process and equal protection rights in this country and we are strongly opposes the antiislamic policies. You are a republican. At one point were you supportive of donald trump . I was. Im still hopeful. I think they all have serious challenges and none of them understand islam. A lot of them bashing slum and muslims and they dont realize that terrorists are perverting the teachings of islam and misusing the religion to justify crimes. Unless they understand the basics they will never solve the National Security problems. So, were you surprised then by this proposal . Donald trump said he wanted a database for all muslims in the United States, called for surveillance on all mosques essentially in the United States. Donald go ahead. Donald trump has come up with a lot of absurd proposals. He wanted to shut down the mosques, put us in a database. I dont know about concentration camps next. The thing is he is so misguided about islam. He needs to understand muslims and realize that terrorism does not represent islam. Theres 1. 6 billion muslims in the world. If you ban us all from traveling or registering, we would have Serious Problems in this country and his suggestion that until we figure things out, until washington figured things out for a while and not happening any time soon. You cant have unconstitutional bans based on religion. There are eight other candidates on stage with donald trump on tuesday night here behind me. What do you need to hear from them . Do they need to take a vocal stand against what donald trump is saying in your mind to win your support . Definitely. I want to see how they defend my rights as a muslimamerican and protecting us. We are the ones facing a lot of backlash, theres antiislamic hate crimes going on. We have mosques burning down and scarves pulled off of women and huge issues. I want to know how theyre addressing the concerns and defending us as american citizens. We have a right to have a president supporting us. And president ial candidates on the republican side needs to reach out to muslimamericans in key states and start visiting our mosques and start understanding the issues and challenges we face. They cannot continue with the rhetoric. We suffer on a daily basis. Saba ahmed, i know youll be watching tuesday night with the rest of us, the last Republican Debate of 2015. Thanks so much, saba. Thank you for having me. Coming up for us, ahead of the big debate here in las vegas tuesday night, an old political favorite returns to saturday night live. The field of republicans throughout is so messed up i figured it makes you miss me, doesnt it . Dr. Ben carson i can barely hear him when he talks. Cruz and rubio, rubio and cruz. Sounds like a miami law firm. Yeah. Wait until you hear what will ferrell known as the fake george w. Bush, wait until you hear what he says about donald trump. Thats next. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. It was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto®. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto®. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto® is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto®. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. Iand quit a lot,t but ended up nowhere. Now i use this. The nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release technology, helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. I want this time to be my last time.

The question really is how the next commander in chief will make americans feel safe at home. The critical question on so many minds right now. In the wake of the paris attacks and attack in San Bernardino, california, 14 americans were killed while they were at work gathered for an annual meeting. I was there, we were on the ground in San Bernardino. We saw the pain and suffering following the attack. Donald trump unveiled the plan to blunt terrorism, a temporary ban on all muslims traveling to the United States. A new cbs poll finds nearly half of americans are worried about potential attacks on u. S. Soil soon. More than 4 in 10 americans, 44 believe an attack is very likely to happen here within the next few months. How do potential Republican Leaders plan to protect the nation from terror . Joining me from las vegas, two gentlemen who will be there, john burman and cnns senior media correspondent brian seltzer. Thank you for being here. As we lead up, less than 48 hours away, brian. Talking about what resonates on tv with the millions upon millions of people watching, how do these candidates break through, break away from donald trump on this issue . We know from moderator wolf blitzer the focus on National Security. Other topics, as well, of course. This is pivotal because you think back to the past debates, not had a gop debate in over a month and not just before the San Bernardino attack but before the paris attacks and after tuesdays debate, we wont have another one for the gop for another month so its been a month. This is a Long Time Coming for these candidates and after tuesday night, its going to be a listening time before they have this chance in front of 15 million to 20 Million People to make the case. The shakeup is iowa numbers with cruz surging ahead in iowa. 49 days out now. To you both, im sure you were up and watched it last night but for everyone that didnt see it, heres a clip of saturday night live. Will ferrell returning in his parody of george w. Bush. The field of republicans out there is so messed up i figured it makes you miss me, doesnt it . Dr. Ben carson, i can barely hear him when he talks. I tell you something. Thats not going to work when you have to go to china or azerbajan where you have to talk loudly so they will understand. Not to mention hes some kind of brain surgeon. I got news for him. Running the country is not brain surgery. Cruz and rubio. Rubio and cruz. Sounds like a miami law firm. If youve been injured on the job, call rubio and cruz. These two guys, the sons of immigrants, hate immigrants. I for one like them mexican people. They are my amigos. Then you have this knucklehead. With the hair. And the 100foot wall. I tell you something. Whenever i get in a bad mood, i picture his big fat oompaloompa face and i piss my pants. All joking aside, it was hysterical. Classic will ferrell. Do you think its tapping into something here or just fun . Well, look. I think mostly fun. Saturday night live makes fun of every politician. Particular fun i think its fair to say of republican politicians and one truly fascinating dynamic there, making fun of a guy that hosted their show a month ago. If they thought he was reprehencible why have him on to host the show and then will ferrell to crack the jokes and perhaps afraid to crack back then and its interesting to see its always funny. Look, donald trump. It just goes to show how he transcends so many worlds. A republican leading candidate and he was a Television Star for a time. Absolutely. He reminded us of that this morning in the interview with jake tapper. Brian, what about your reaction to that . In the will ferrell skit, theres genius behind it hearing that george w. Bush character saying im coming back because you all miss me, im going to run for office because you need me, im the smart one in the family, touching on what many in the republican establishment saying about this pack of candidates. That they dont see the person that they would like to be running right now and all this talk of third party candidates, as well. Touching on something important thats out there in the race right now an im sure well hear it on stage as well on tuesday night. Yeah. We absolutely will. Gentlemen, have a great time in vegas. The world will be watching this debate. No question. John, back to you in a moment. Brian, thank you. Representatives and ministers of nearly 200 countries give a standing ovation to themselves. President s, prime ministers, kings and queens agreeing to end the era of fossil fuels and stop the warming of the earth.

And now intels best processor ever is here which helps pcs do things you never thought possible. Like time travel . Hey, these pants are timeless introducing intels new 6th generation core processor, its our best processor ever. 2 degrees celsius. It may seem like a very small number and could have a remarkably significant effect on Global Warming. Representatives of nearly 200 countries met in paris and this weekend they agreed to put their signatures on a deal that could affect the future of the planet. The people secelebrating here agreed to new emission regulations for their country. Some big, rich countries, some small poor countries. Slow down and stop the glanlg july warming of the country to make parts of the earth uninhabitable in our childrens lifetimes. President obama that pushed for regulations worldwide since he was elected says agreement like this only happened because the world finally spoke with one voice. Because no nation, not even one as powerful as ours, can solve this challenge alone. And no country, no matter how small, can sit on the sidelines. All of us had to solve it together. Of course, Climate Change is not just a scientific debate. It is a fiercely debated political issue, divides countries like the United States, perhaps more than any other. Despite president obama lauding the agreement in paris, democratic president ial candidate who believes that Climate Change is manmade is not on board with it. Senator sanders on the Campaign Website writes, well, this is a step forward. Goes nowhere near far enough. The plan set in crisis. We need bold action in the very near future and does not provide that. So lets get perspective from a businessman pushing for this for years and years. Pushing the world to act, the chairman, the founder of virgin group, Sir Richard Branson. Thank you for being with me, richard. Thank you. You are back from paris. Are you in the Bernie Sanders camp that this doesnt go far enough or happy to see this agreement . Extremely happy to see this agreement. I mean, to get 200 countries to agree to do their best to keep it at 1. 5 degrees, its just its just historic. Wonderful. It would be great to get 200 countries to come together to agree to other things but i think this means we have a real chance of keeping it right around 1. 5 degrees and that should save the seas from rapid rises in level and it should save the reefs which over 1. 5 degrees pretty well lose every reef in the world. And it should save a lot of people so, you know, so truly wonderful, wonderful, wonderful week. Well, lets talk about this. You have dedicated so much of your time, your money, your energy to this. You have equated time and time again solving Climate Change to a human rights issue an enyou just brought up human lives. Explain that. Well, you know, if we just let the world run to 4, 5 degrees, we have no idea what the consequences would be. And, you know, we know they would be very dramatic and it is possible that we would have major wars, you know, people mass migration, there would be flooding of cities. It would have been a disaster. As it is, the alternative that we have now set ourselves is a Clean Energy Revolution so by 2050 nicole thats left will be left in the ground. Any oil thats left will be left in the ground. Clean Energy Revolution is going to create hundreds of thousands, millions of jobs worldwide and a world after 2050 that will be run solely on clean energy which will be good for peoples health, and it will be good for the price of energy. I mean, it will mean paying far less than weve paid for 20 or 30 years and it will be just a happier world for our grandchildren and great grandchildren to live in. And yet, richard, the critics of this push back at you and they say, no, this costs jobs and i know you dont like to wade into u. S. Politics but gop president ial candidates ben carson, ted cruz, donald trump, the three frontrunners in most of the polls right now, all are in the camp that believes that human activity does not lead to Global Warming. So, their views are resonating with millions of americans. Why do you think that is . Well, it is like it is like saying the world isnt round. I mean, it is just too too incredible for those of us who live outside america to hear socalled educated people safing Something Like this and this day and age. We know that carbon is creating a blanket around the world and its getting thicker and thicker and getting thicker and thicker it warms up the earth and scientific fact and its just, you know, it is just unbelievable that anybody is questioning that and i think theres people too intelligent to be believing it and doing it for political purposes. And nobody in the rest of the world is taking that kind of talk seriously anymore. I mean, i spent an hour with the, you know, chief negotiator for china. You know, he knows its happening. Chinas going to create a green Energy Revolution. Theyre going to go all out and it would be very sad if america is left behind on this one. I mean, if you could create millions of jobs and your cities will benefit, your children will benefit. You wont have smog anymore. You will have cars run on electric cars. You know . You wont have the coal powered fire stations anymore. Clean energy. Beautiful country. Thats what personals should be striving for and very, very pleased about the outcome. And i know, richard, you have said you want to see america do even more so we will track it closely. Richard branson, thank you very much for your time. Thanks, poppy. Cheers. Up next, well speak with someone who disagrees with richard branson. The u. S. Senator from oklahoma who feels so passionately that Climate Change is not human made, manmade. That he brought a snowball to the senate floor. On record i ask the chair, you know what this is . Its a snowball. And thats just from outside here. That was earlier this year to say that senator james inhofe is against the worldwide agreement signed in paris is an understatement. He will join me live next.

Nearly 200 countries this weekend reaching a historic agreement promising to take action to cut Greenhouse Gases and put the brakes on potentially catastrophic effects of a slowly warming planet. This happened in paris. 196 nations vowing to set emission goals and to stick to them. Supporters call it a death knell for the fossil fuel era. Critics say given that it is voluntary there is no way to enforce it, and they say it just doesnt have any teeth. One of the most vocal opponents of the agreement, Oklahoma Republican senator james inhofe. He joins me on the phone. Thank you for being with me, senator. You bet, poppy. You oppose the agreement. Youve been incredibly vocal. Youve written a book all about this. Why do you oppose what was reached in paris . If someone would read the book and go all the way through, then they would understand. I listened to mr. Bronson. You know, poppy, i think he actually believes that, and these people have been talking to each other these 21 years. They all get together. The developing countries come and they expect billions of dollars to be spent and given to them so they can do something with their Greenhouse Gas emissions. Theres nothing historic about this. Theres no admission and so i dont know whats historic about it. One interesting thing, at the very last minute when the language was going to be developed countries shall continue to undertake economy wide emission targets. They changed that from shall to should. The reason, poppy, they did that was so they wont come back to the United States and have something that would be mandated, therefore, the senate would have to vote for it. They couldnt get 100 senators, they couldnt get 30 senators to vote for Something Like that. Weve already voted senator, let me ask you this. You brought up richard branson, who was just on. You said that he actually believes that. He does. And the other people that agree with him on the science of Climate Change are 97 of working scientists not true. It is true, around the globe right now. 97 believe no. That the globe is not warming because of humans. You see it in the global average surface temperatures. You see it in the glaciers melting. You see it in plants blooming earlier. That is the scientific evidence, senator. Whats your response . That just isnt true. 97 that theyve used over and over and over again is fictitious. You have a lot of i have a whole list of scientists that were 10 years old when they said, no, they screened their scientists for the United Nations and you have great scientists like richard lind of m. I. T. And perhaps the foremost planetary scientist. It started in the 80s of Global Warming and said this agreement is not agreement, its fraud. He said it and testified before our committee and said its a fake. So, senator let me tell you this, poppy sure. From the very beginning i thought perhaps this might be true and so i found out what the cost would be to the United States of america that would constitute the largest tax increase in history. We started checking on the science and thats when we got calls coming in from the community. I want to ask you this, senator, before i run out of time. I want to ask you this. You were not in paris, is that correct, for these talks . Thats correct. There were no republican members of congress who were there, and i know how passionate, sir, you are about this. Youve written extensively about it. You just cited these scientists. Why not go and have more of a voice in the debate . We were voting in the United States senate. I have a daytime job. I know. I didnt go. The last time i went, ive been to several of them, and theyre the same thing every time. They get together, tell each other what they want to hear, and then nothing happens. The last was copenhagen. And you remember what happened in copenhagen. Nothing. And nothing has happened at this one. But let me just mention one thing that he said that you almost cant keep a straight face when you say it. That is china made some type of a commitment. China didnt make a commitment. They said were going to increase our co2 emissions for another 15 years. Then well relook at it. Well, theyre the beneficiary if we were to pass something in the United States and chase our Manufacturing Base overseas, some place they had no controls at all, that would be china. That would be india. That would be mexico. To say theyre a part of something where they stand to really make the most from it as long as they dont have any restrictions, thats where they are now. Senator james inhofe, im glad were having the discussion. I hope youll come back and join us again. Thank you, sir. Anytime. Longer is better. I agree. Thank you very much. Were going to get a quick break in. We will return to las vegas next, the site of cnns republican president ial debate on tuesday night. Stay with me. The possibility of a flare swas almost always on my mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go. And how to deal with my uc. To me, that was normal. Until i talked to my doctor. She told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. Comment vous allez lappeler . Je ne sais pas.

We now know what the lineup will be for tuesdays showdown at the venetian on the las vegas strip. Nine candidates making the main stage with Donald Trump Center stage. He is, of course, the frontrunner flanked by his newest, closest rival ted cruz and also to his other side dr. Ben carson. Two major polls show cruz is mounting a major challenge to trump in the early, critical state of iowa, beating trump 31 to 21 in a politics poll. Trump is still on top but cruz is
