republican caucuses. the remaining contenders are brave and the snow and cold to make their final pitches this weekend. ironically the voted will take place of martin luther king day. so many of the gop candidates have to split a questionable commitment to the ideals of democracy and equality that the great late civil rights leader fought and died for. reverend kings spirit fills tonight s show and we are joined by his eldest son and namesake, his daughter-in-law arndrea and his granddaughter yolanda. they ll have plenty to say about the state of dr. king s dream. and a moment when racial tensions and the threat of political violence seem more real than perhaps any time since the height of the civil rights movement of the 60s. all of this tonight on this kicked a weekend edition of politicsnation. the king family will join us in a moment. but we start with congresswoman robin kelly, democrat of illinois. congresswoman kelly, thank you for joining us and let s start in your ne
incredible story of progress to tell and at least the ten months to deliver that straight to public voters. terrance woodbury, sank for being on with us again. as the iowa caucus approaches, perhaps no republicans has more on that line on monday then ron desantis. the florida governor has focused nearly all of his resources on the hawkeye state and campaigned in all 99 of its counties. faith known as the full grassley. but effort doesn t necessarily translate to support. a suffolk university poll authority shows him battling for a second place with nikki haley. with both candidates well behind donald trump. and if you think new hampshire would be kinder to florida governor, consider this. his campaign says he ll flight directly to south carolina after monday night s caucus.
by not having a plan to pay for all these disasters and things. dagen: but gary b., a final word to you. effort doesn t bankrupt you. it actually makes you richer as a person and a nation and that s ultimately what all americans bring to the table. i think what you re talking about dagen is karma and hopefully it helps us out not only now but in the future. i don t think anyone is doing or being generous because they expect payback but i certainly think it helps and maybe eventually it will help with worldwide relations. dagen: gary b. final word there thanks guys and emily. catching him just over an hour from now melissa francis is hosting today. hi dagen republicans set to unveil their tax plan this week. if they don t go big and bold will it be a bust for you and our economy plus president trump telling the u.n. general assembly it s unfair that the u.s. picks up nearly a quarter of its bills, are taxpayers
blumenthal? why is he such a radioactive this was the thing i was hoping to get the answer to. we came close to it. i think we have got it. this seems to be what they established. congressman westmoreland did it in the clearest way. he said to hillary clinton in effect so sidney blumenthal has your personal e-mail address but chris stevens doesn t. now, there s a much more effective way to say it. he could have said chris stevens, your personal friend who you sent into harm s way when you were sending him into harm s way you never said to him by the way, i don t use state department e-mail, i use this. if you need anything, you can e-mail me directly. that s basically what they want, this contrast. this useless guy, blumenthal, has your address and this guy who is so important to your effort doesn t. now, what that means in terms of the entire evidentiary base of what happened in this story isn t much. it s the kind of thing where you
last sort of 72ish hours for hillary clinton s campaign. the one thing i would take issue with very clearly is the idea that the media is driving this, because the media is bored and it s august. we are covering this story because the fbi asked hillary clinton to turn over the server that she said in march she would not turn over. the intelligence community s inspector general has said that two of the 40 or so e-mails that they have been allowed to look at contain classified information because hillary clinton has said in the past and said again yesterday in nevada that nothing that was sent or received was classified at the time. so the media didn t create those things. republicans didn t create those things. yes, this has grown out of the benghazi committee, but simply because it grew out of a republican-led effort doesn t mean that what is now before us is sort of a partisan warfare-only thing. so i don t think it s the media
