This is his 77th. His Campaign Says it raised 2 million since the Iowa Caucuses, dubbing it marcomentum. I love that hes concerned about leaving an amazing country for my kids. Not everyone is convinced, the latest polls suggest that at least onethird of all New Hampshire voters are undecided like Small Business owner kenna beckwith. What strikes me is he is bark the other party and ive heard it from other candidates as well and it takes them down a notch for me. I really dont want to hear that. Voters packed in events from john kasich who is neck in neck with marco rubio. Kasich insisted he will get the debt down and cut taxes while hes at it. But with polls not so high, he admits New Hampshire is his last gasp. If i get trounced, im going to ohio. Weve knocked on 180 doors in the last 180 days. They are considered or committed. It was over it watts done there was nothing you could do about it. Senator ted cruz seemed to draw the largest are crowds on wednesday,. I figured i needed to learn about him. 19yearold College Students jacob barrigan isnt the only one undecided here. Some havent even picked a party yet. I wish there was a way we could just incorporate all the good ideas and have a great candidate. All right you may have noticed the only gop candidate who was not on the campaign trail here in New Hampshire today, the front runner donald trump was in arkansas. Still in arkansas, although he is expected back in New Hampshire tomorrow john. Speaking of donald trump, he went on a rant about ted cruzs victory in iowa. Said cruz stole the caucuses. Was cruz responding today . Yes, this goes back to essentially one of cruzs Campaign Staffers had issued a tweet just before the iowa caucus saying dr. Ben carson had dropped out, that was of course not true. The Cruz Campaign has since apologized but donald trump jumped on that capitalized and is saying that cruz definitely stole the election calling it fraud and cruz today did respond. Hes really just calling this a trumpertantrum and that is a quote. All right erica thank you very much. Jaylen newton small, shes in manchester New Hampshire the tonight. Welcome. Donald trump accusing senator ted cruz of stealing the Iowa Caucuses. How is that possible . Hi john. Well it looks like his little peace treaty, sort of speech he gave right after he lost the Iowa Caucuses where he was very polite and nice and sort of gracious, that evaporated incredibly quickly. He has accused ted cruz of stealing the Iowa Caucuses, of basically, i dont know how that would work considering you know its 1682 separate caucuses you would have to rig somehow but that is basically what donald trump is saying and i think hes trying to hint somehow there is something a little nefarious about ted cruz, isnt playing by the rules, which is kind of ironic coming from donald trump a guy who is all about breaking the rules. But hes a politician whos clearly on his heels who is worried, hes losing momentum after losing iowa and could very well lose New Hampshire now. So rand paul and Rick Santorum are suspending their political campaigns now. Both have consistently been polling low. What about endorsements from them to either of the remaining candidates, do they really help . Endorsements are really always good, they give you good pr and media bump. Not many who support one candidate listen to whomever that candidate endorses, for the numbers they were polling im not sure they would necessarily go to another candidate. I think most of those voters would probably help ted cruz. From rand paul they are the Tea Party Types who are looking for fiscal conservatism. A few of them might go to donald trump but its more likely they would go to help ted cruz. Theres video of jeb bush asking his supporters to applaud for him at a speech. You know, symbolic in many ways i guess. But you know is this the end of the Bush Campaign . Is it going down in flames in New Hampshire . Well, it could very well go down in flames in New Hampshire. He certainly i mean did not do very well at all in iowa. Although you know he did do better than i thought he would do. Chris christie flew all the way to iowa and spent days campaigning in iowa trying to knock jeb out of the race and Chris Christie failed at that. If you are jeb bush you are still in the race more than you would be if you had lost iowa to Chris Christie or done worse in iowa than Chris Christie but marco rubio is really sli solidifying the establishment wing of the party. The question with very little attention if you have to ask your audience to applaud for you, do you really want to keep going on at that point . Or do you want to back another horse here . All right jane newton small thank you very much. John, thank you. The remaining are Democratic Candidates will take part in a town hall tonight. Hillary clinton fighting back allegation he by challenger bernie sanders, saying she is only progressive certain days. She called the statement a low blow, described he them as progressive. Bernie sanders held a News Conference to talk about his contents against Hillary Clinton. Now to the water flight in flint, michigan. The call for ranses is growing in the for answers in the city is growing. We begin with libby casey in washington. Kiana dawson and her family live in one of the hottest spots believed to be for lead contamination. It is the dreaded burgundy zone. Thank god we have been doing what weve been doing for so long. Dawson calls herself lucky, her kids tested low for lead, and switched to bottled water when symptoms started showing up. So my daughter, her allergies would start flaring up, it would be a big eye one day, i incessat sneezing one time. It takes up to five weeks to get results, a lot of times to think about it. How do you begin to not use any water at all . When all you do is turn the tap and it comes out . Its so tempting and taunting. So just go ahead and use a little bit. Danielle brown is the executive of an organization, complorg her clients to get their kids tested for lead. Shes also telling them that high levels of lead is not the only problem. The epa is sending out teams to search for chlorine in the water. The epa determined the Christ Enrichment Center doesnt have enough chlorine in the water exposing them to bacteria. Then you go back, you say oh my goodness, how many lunches have i had, how many times have i gone to the bathroom. To playback, confusion is king. I just cant take a new piece of information. Heres something else. The Michigan Department of healthy said next week its going to start investigating all the cases of skin rash, being complained about, thats nothing new, they have been complaining about skin rashes for years, but all the issues were pushed off to the side when the lead issue came up last fall. Obviously that was andy rosegen not libby casey. Here is libby. What happened to the water supply in flint, michigan, today it was members of Congress Asking the tough questions. And leaders on both sides of the political aisle are critical at all levels of government and how they dealt with this crisis. Outside the u. S. Capital, prayers. Following us in playing that you minimize the damage that was done to our children. Reporter inside a hearing room, outrage. I want everybody who is responsible for this fiasco to be held accountable. Im not protecting anybody. Because thats not our job. We are the last line of defense. If we dont do it, nobodys going to do it. Members of congress are looking for answers. Who made the decisions that caused flints water to be contaminated by Dangerous Levels of lead . Local residents watched also hoping for answers. Theyre struggling. Theyve come over here all the way here from flint, i dont know how they got here. And mr. Chairman, theyre also americans. Theyre also americans just like you and just like your children. Reporter but the hearing was notable for who was not there. The former emergency manager of Flint Darnell early who was appointed by michigans republican governor. Were calling on the u. S. Marshals to hunt him down and give him that subpoena. Earlys lawyer says a subpoena arrived late tuesday and didnt give him enough time to attend. Whats disappointing is one of the people who is probably most culpable for the situation wont take responsibility for it. And i think he needs to appear here. Reporter republicans also pointed the finger at the federal government blaming the Environmental Protection agency. But the epa has failed in its responsibility. But democrats say it was reckless decisions at the state level that made these decisions. They want to layer from governor rick snyder. We cant get the governor at this hearing to give responses for actions that are going to affect 9,000 children. Democrats are also critical for michigan, done in the name of saving money and cut the city council out of decisions. This is the consequence of putting ideology ahead of human beings. And their needs. And their welfare. The difference in political philosophy matters. Political choices have consequences and flint is the most dramatic in our generation. Reporter hours of testimony and debate the congress is no closer to resolving whos responsible. Or what should be done for the people of flint, michigan. John, the Democratic Candidates for president will debate in flint, michigan next month, that Just Announced today. And this will be just days before voters in michigan go to the polls. Theyll get to hear personally from Hillary Clinton and bernie sanders, and you can bet it will bring continued attention to the water crisis in flint. John. All right libby thank you. In maryland, president obama made his first visit to a u. S. Mosque. He condemned what he called inexcusable political rhetoric against muslims on the campaign trail. Mike viqueria has moor. For Many Americans listening to president obama it was the message they had been waiting for. You fit in right here, youre part of america too, where you belong. Youre not muslim or american, youre muslim and american. Part of what brought mr. Obama to the mosque, heightened islamophobia and attacks in paris and san bernardino. Youre worried about the threat of terrorism but on top of that as Muslim Americans you also have another concern, that is your entire community so often is targeted or blamed for the violent acts of the very few. Mr. Obama slammed antimuslim rhetoric from leading republican president ial candidates, a major issue for many muslims in the audience, including naeen mohammed, whose work with Young Children leaves him concerned. They dont know how to separate what a politician might say. From getting elected. His first time in search years mr. Obama visited a u. S. Mosque. At a this is too long. For warda khalid. All of america could have benefited from hearing it a lot sooner. Though i. T. Was a long time coming, once it happened, those who heard it were overjoyed. Especially welcome mr. Obamas account of islams part of u. S. History, brought over as slaves and continuing to the early days of the republic. Suggest he was a muslim, i was not the first. Ted cruzs victory in iowa has set up a new round of anxiety about Muslim Americans. That guy speaking directly about muslims, it was very timely that people know that we need to come together. Reporter one speech from mr. Obama is unlikely to change perceptions or right every wrong said many in the audience but for many its a welcome start. Maybe some will think twice when they hear the speech. Mr. Obama delivered a speech at the Israeli Embassy and tomorrow the annual National Prayer breakfast where the president will appear. The white house says, all of these speeches indicative of the president s policy effort to reach across the lines of american society, back to you. Mike viqueria. Sulla ahmed joined president obama at the mosque earlier today, welcome sulla. I heard two threads, one that the president should have done it sooner and two, that it was very timely. Why wouldnt he have done it at some point before now . Well we ohave loved to have him visit a mosque search years ago, but better late than never. First year versus his last year of presidency. But its a good time, its a great opportunity for other president ial candidates to viskt mosques and defend islam. When i think of this president whos been accused of being a muslim whos been in office for quite a bit of time and this has become the rhetoric didnt just start in this election. I cant quite figure out what it was that kept president obama from addressing the issue in the same way. Well, whatever it was, i mean giving us a couple of hours after seven and a half years, i think its a long time overdue. I think he definitely circulate have been much stronger, if he wanted to address it right away he should have gone and supported muz limes and sai muso im not a muslim but i support their right to be here. We have reservations about his policies, we could have influenced a lot of his policies if we got involved earlier but better late than never i questions. I listened to his speech and he addressed one of the issues, he said many of the people at the mosque had told him that they were concerned that often when there are attacks by terrorists, sometimes theyre told that they should speak out against it, they should condemn it. They dont feel that they should all that that should be necessary. At the same time, though, he suggested that muslims need not only when there is a terrorist attack but they need to be more present, more visible in the country on a series of issues. Tell me what your thoughts were about those statements. I agree. I think Muslim American community has a responsibility to get involved in all walks of life, especially in the upcoming president ial election, to get involved in all of the campaigns, invite candidates, meet with them, volunteer, vote, and have them in your homes for fund raisers and reach out to them and influence their policies. I mean the biggest fear for the gop right now is rad cam islam. If they start visiting mosques and understanding islam, all their fears will go away. We have many views in common, we have traditional family life, traditional marriage, we support business, trade, there are a lot of Economic Issues that are important to the muslim madam chair community that actually republicans are great at help a lot of people and well serve all of our National Security challenges. So you believe that there are lots of muslims in this country who would vote for a republican this time . I think so. If they start reaching out to Muslim Americans in key electoral states especially key states where we have large muslim populations i think we can turn the election around. But we need to see real effort not superficial showing up in a mosque to see once in a blue moon check that off. We need serious thought and i just invited rubio and we hope to have senator ted cruz also visit a mosque. I think you know we need to have these people learn about islam from Muslim Americans and thats the only way we can change their narrative on islam and muslims. Well see whether that happens, its good to see you, thank you very much. The u. N. Envoy to syria that is suspended peace talks in geneva.
