pathological disease. trump says carson wrote that in one of his books. correct, correct. open to interpretation is what donald trump meant to say there. look, i think if you one of the reasons that ben carson has been able to survive these attacks is because they featured so much overreach from the media. you have this political story that said that carson admitted that he had fabricated this whole story about west point and the scholarship, when carson had actually admitted no such thing. he pushed back strong and i think very effectively on that. so it will be interesting. we saw the media be a major part of the story coming out of the c cnbc debate. i don t expect that tomorrow night because of the way our folks at fox business will conduct themselves. but i think it will interesting to see if trump keeps echoing these mainstream media criticisms of ben carson. i ve talked to all of them. they like to get in the weeds,
weekend on saturday night live. it was only about 12 minutes on the show among the more interesting clips, his dancing to drake, which obviously people commented on. but he has been, as mara mentioned, on the attack. is that going to play out in the way things are, you know, lining up? well, i watched some of that saturday night live. these are the sacrifices i make for our viewers. i hadn t seen it in years and i will never get that time back. painful. not because of donald trump, it s just painful. it s not a funny show anymore. i think charles is right, that certainly jeb bush will be one of the focal points in the debate tomorrow night but i think this emerging dynamic between ben carson and donald trump is significant. you ve seen donald trump basically take the side of the mainstream media and its utiny or attacks, depending on how you look at it, calling it a
hillary clinton is declaring herself a proud democrat who would build on president obama s legacy. that s another clear shot at democratic primary opponent and independent senator bernie sanders. ed henry is covering the clinton campaign and reports tonight from wyndham, new hampshire. reporter: on the eve of the fox business network s republican debate, democratic front-runner, hillary clinton, officially signed the paperwork to get on the ballot in new hampshire. with fox business focusing on the economy, clinton later declared on the steps of the capital in concord, that is the issue which will decide the entire election, invoking the fact that her husband, bill, rode that topic to victory in 1992. he charged republicans have offered three solutions in their first three debates. they have complained. they say, well, you know, this recovery is so slow. really? why did we need a recovery? what was the original sin here? it was bad republican policies.
does it tomorrow night. i wonder if carson is the one person trump can t attack without hurting himself. it s not all about the horse race. these candidates want to talk substance. ahead of an economic debate, ben carson putting out some details of a flat tax proposal. i m in favor of a flat tax because of proportionality. everybody should be hit exactly the same. in order to, you know, remain revenue neutral, we would have to make that rate at about 15% and eliminate all deductions and all the loopholes. that would get us about $2.7 trillion, which is still short of the $3.5 trillion that we need. so starting to get into more details, charles. thanks for being so dressed up for us tonight. i m trying to raise the level of the panel. this is my feeble attempt. look, carson basically gave that
answer at the cnbc debate when he tried to close the gap, he wasn t very successful. so he ll probably be asked about that tomorrow. if he says it s revenue neutral, he s going to have to have an answer for that. but i think in the end, this debate is all about one thing. jeb bush. he s had three bad debates. one more and he s not going to drop out of the race, but he ll really be dead man walking. he s got to show a spark, and that means a moment. look, the entire season has become sort of theatricatheatri. the ones who have risen are the ones who had the moment. carly had the moment, rubio had, cruz has had and bush has been very passive and unimpressive. that doesn t mean he is, but that s how he appears and that s why his numbers are low. so i think all the pressure is on him, which is going to make it all the more difficult. but that is the story going in. it might be the story going out. obviously donald trump,
