question because i'm very proud of my company, as you, too know i built a great company. if i become president, i couldn't care less about my company. it's peanuts. i want to use the same, up here, whatever it may be, to make america rich again and make america great again. i have ivanka and eric and don sitting there, run the company, have a good time, i'm going to do it for america. i would be willing to do it. moderator: you would put your assets in a blind trust? >> i would put it in a blind trust. i don't know if it's a blind trust if ivanka and don and eric run it. i would have my children run it with executives and wouldn't ever be involved because i wouldn't care about anything but our country. anything. moderator: thank you, sir? >> thank you. moderator: governor christie, going back to u.s. attorney days, you have been praised by both parties as certainly a tough law and order guy. i wonder what you make of recent statistics, sir, that show violent crime spiking sometimes by double digit rate in 30 cities across the country. milwaukee's police chief ed flynn said most local law enforcement officials feel abandoned by washington. former nyc police chief ray kelly says police are being less pro active because they are overly scrutinized and second-guessed and afraid of being sued or thrown in jail. what would you do as president to address that? >> well, first off, let's face it, the fbi director jim comey, a friend of mine who i worked with as u.s. attorney in new jersey here, was u.s. attorney in manhattan. he said it, there's a chill blowing through law enforcement in this country. the president of the united states and both attorneys general give the benefit of the doubt to the criminal, not to the police officer. that's the truth of the matter. and you see it every time with this president. every time he's got a chance, going all the way back to remember the great beer summit he had after he messed up that time. this is a guy who just believed that law enforcement are the bad guys. now i, for seven years, was the u.s. attorney in new jersey. i worked hard with not only federal agents but with police officers, and here's the problem, sanctuary cities is part of the problem in this country. that's where crime is happening in the cities where they don't enforce the immigration law, and this president turns his back. this president doesn't enforce the marijuana laws in this country because he doesn't agree with them, and allows states to do whatever they want on a substance that is illegal. here's what i would do, neil, i would appoint attorney general and have one very brief conversation with that attorney general. i say, general, enforce the law against everyone justly, fairley and aggressively, make our streets safe again, make our police officers proud of what they do, more important than, that let them know how proud we are of them. we do that, this country will be safe and secure again, not only from criminals but terrorists who threaten us as well. i'm the only person on the stage that's done that, and we will get it done as president of the united states. moderator: thank you, governor, governor kasich, as someone who has to deal with controversial -- [chanting] . moderator: all right! you guys deal with controversy. >> that's why you wore a red tie. moderator: deal with controversial shootings in your own state. what do you make of chicago's move to retrain police, maybe make them not so quick to use their guns? >> i created a task force well over a year ago, and the purpose was to bring law enforcement, community people, clergy and the person they named as one of the cochairman is a lady by the name of nina turner, former state senator, liberal democrat, ran against one of my friends, and head of public safety. and they sat down as a group trying to make sure we can begin to heal some of these problems that we see between community and police, and they came back with 23 recommendations. one is a statewide use of deadly force, and it is now being put into place everyplace across the state of ohio. secondly, a policy on recruiting, and hiring, and more resources for training. but let me also tell you one of the issues has got to be the integration of both community and police. community has to understand that that police officer wants to get home at night and not to lose their life. their family is waiting for them. at the same time, law enforcement understands there are people in the community who not only think that the system doesn't work for them, but works against them. see, in ohio, we've had controversial decisions but the leaders have come forward to realize that protest is fine, but violence is wrong, and it has been a remarkable situation in our state, and as president of the united states, it's all about communication, folks. it's all about getting people to listen to one another's problems, and when you do that, you will be amazed at how much progress you can make and how much healing we can have because, folks, at the end of the days, the country needs healed. i heard a lot of hot rhetoric here tonight. i got to tell you as somebody who actually passed a budget that paid down a half a trillion dollars of our national debt, you can't do it alone. you got to bring people together, you got to give people hope, and together, we can solve these problems that hurt us and heal america, and that is what is so critical for our neighborhoods, our families, our children and our grandchildren. [applause] >> senator rubio? under current law, the u.s. is on track to issue more new permanent immigrants on green cards over the next five years than the entire population of south carolina. the cbo says your 2013 immigration bill would have increased green card holders by another 10 million over 10 years. why are you so interested in opening up borders to foreigners when american workers have a hard enough time finding work? >> first of all, this san issue that's been debated for 30 years, and for 30 years, the issue of immigration has been about someone in this country, maybe here illegally, but looking for a job. this issue is not about that anymore. first and foremost, this issue has to be more than anything else about keeping america safe. and here's why, there's a radical jihadist group manipulating our immigration system, and not just green cards, they're recruiting people that enter as doctors, and engineers, and even fiancees, they understand the vulnerabilities we have on the southern border, they're looking to manipulate the visa waiver countries to get people into the united states. so our number one priority must now become ensuring that iskiss not get killers into the united states. whether it's green cards or any other form of entry into america, when i'm president, if we do not know who you are or why you are coming, you are not going to get into the united states of america. moderator: so your thinking has changed? >> the issue is a dramatically different issue than 24 months ago. 24 months ago, 36 months ago, did you not have a group of radical crazies named isis burning people in cages and recruiting people to enter our country legally. they have a sophisticated understanding of our legal immigration system, and we now have an obligation to ensure that they are not able to use that system against us. the entire system of legal immigration must now be reexamined for security first and foremost with an eye on isis. because they're recruiting people enter to this country as engineers, posing as doctors, posing as refugees. we know this for a fact. they contacted trafficking networks in the western hemisphere to get people in through the southern border. they got a killer in san bernardino posing as a fiancee. this issue has to be stopping isis entering the united states, when i'm president, we will. >> maria? [applause] >> radical islamic terrorism was not invented 24 months ago. 24 months ago, we had al qaeda, boko haram, hezbollah, iran putting operatives in central america, it's the reason why i stood with jeff sessions and steve king and led the fight to stop the gang of eight amnesty bill. it was clear then like it's clear now that border security is national security. [applause] >> thank you, senator. >> it is also the case that that rubio-schumer amnesty bill, it expanded barack obama's power to let in syrian refugees, enabled the president to certify them en masse without mandating meaningful background checks. i think that's a mistake. that's why i'm leading the fight to stop it, and i would note, the senate a few weeks ago voted to suspend refugees from middle eastern countries. i voted yes to suspend that. marco voted on the other side. you can't say we need to secure the borders and give barack obama more authority to allow middle eastern refugees coming in when the head of the fbi tells us they cannot vet them to determine if they are isis terrorists. >> maria, let me clear something up here. this san interesting point when you talk about immigration. ted cruz, you used to say you supported doubling the number of green cards, now you say you're against it. you used to support 500% increase in the number of guest workers, now against it. you used to support legalizing people here illegally. now against it. you used to say you were in favor of birthrights citizen ship. now you are against it. not just on immigration, you used to support tpa, now you are against it. i saw you on the senate floor flip your vote on crop insurance because they told you it would help you in iowa. and last week we saw you flip the vote on iowa for the same reason. that is not consistent conservatism. that is political calculation. when i am president, i will work to keep this country safe, not call everyone snowden, as you did, a great public servant as you did. edward snowden is a traitor. if i get my hands on him, he is standing trial for treason. every single time there has been a defense bill in the senate, three people team up to vote against it. bernie sanders, rand paul and ted cruz. in fact, the only budget you have ever voted for, ted, in entire time in the senate is a budget from rand paul that brags about or cuts defense. here's the bottom line, if i'm president of the united states and congress tries to cut the military, i will veto that in a millisecond. moderator: gentlemen, gentlemen -- >> i'm going to get a response to that neil. there's no way he's going to launch that. he had no fewer than 11 attacks there. i appreciate your dumping your research folder on the debate stage. >> it's your record. >> i will say at least half of the things marco said are flat-out false. [booing] . >> absolutely false. start with immigration. let's start with immigration and have a little clarity. marco stood with chuck schumer and barack obama on amnesty. i stood with jeff sessions and steve king. marco stood today, stand on this stage marco supports legalization and citizenship for 12 million illegals. i opposed and oppose legalization and citizenship. and by the way, the attack he keeps throwing out on the military budget, marco knows full well, i voted for his amendment to increase military spending to $697 billion. what he said and said it in the last debate, it's simply not true. and as president, i will rebuild the military and keep this country safe. moderator: we have to stop you, i know you are passionate about that. governor bush, fears have gripped this country obviously, and you touched on it earlier since the san bernardino attacks. since our last debate, it has changed accoing to facebook data as well. this issue grips people right before the attacks and now after, the interest of islam, homeland security and isis loom very large. the fbi says islamic radicals are using social media to communicate and it needs better access to communication. now the ceo of apple, governor, tim cook said unless served with a warrant private communication is private, period, do you agree, or would you convince him otherwise? >> i would try to convince him otherwise. the last back and forth explains why we have the mess in washington, d.c. we need a president that will fix our immigration laws and stick with it. not bend with the wind. the simple fact is one of the ways maria to solve the problem you described is narrow the number of people coming by family petitioning to what every other country has so we have the best and the brightest in our country. we need to control the border, not just go back and forth. moderator: would you answer this question. >> i'll talk about that, too. you haven't asked me a question in a while, neil, i thought i'd get that off my chest. [laughter] [applause] >> fair enough. tim cook, is he going to keep it private? >> there is no confidence in washington, d.c. there needs to be more than one meeting, complete dialogue with the large technology companies. they understand there is a national security risk. we ought to give them a little liability release, so they share data with themselves and the federal government, they're not fearful of the lawsuit. we need to keep the country safe. this is the first priority. cybersecurity challenges we face, this administration failed us completely, completely. not just the hacking of opm, but that is just shameful. 23 million files in the hands of the chinese? it's not just the government, the private sector companies, it's our own government that needs to raise the level of our game. put the nsa in charge of the civilian side of this as well, that expertise needs to spread across the government and there needs to be much more cooperation. moderator: tim cook is telling you no mr. president. >> you got to keep asking. this is a hugely important issue. if you can encrypt messages, isis can, over the platforms, and we have no ability? moderator: do you ask or demand? >> the law has to change. if we are too punitive, you will go to other technology companies outside the united states. and what we want to do is to control. this we also want to dominate this from a commercial side. there is a lot of balanced interest. the president leads in this regard. that's what we need. we need leadership, someone who has a back bone and sticks with things rather than talks about them as though anything matters when you are talking about amendments that don't -- are part of a bill that ever passed. moderator: governor, thank you. when we come back, closing statements. stay with us. in new york state, we believe tomorrow starts today. all across the state the economy is growing, with creative new business incentives, the lowest taxes in decades, and university partnerships, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. like in utica, where a new kind of workforce is being trained. and in albany, the nanotechnology capital of the world. let us help grow your company's tomorrow, today at business.ny.gov he ran for senate saying he opposed amnesty... then he flipped, and worked with liberal chuck schumer to co-author the path to citizenship bill. he threatened to vote against it. and then voted for it. he supported his own dream act and then he abandoned it. marco rubio. just another washington politician you can't trust. jeb bush. he's a leader, so you always know where he stands. right to rise usa is responsible for the content of this message. my dad gave me you know.ares, he ran that company. i get it. but you know i think you own too much. gotta manage your risk. an honest opinion is how edward jones makes sense of investing. lots of vitamins a&c, and, only 50 calories a serving... good morning, indeed. v8. veggies for all. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who've had no prior treatment. it's the one and only cure that's one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. with harvoni, there's no interferon and there are no complex regimens. tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready? ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you. . moderator: welcome back. candidates, it is time for your closing statements. you get 60 seconds each. governor john kasich, we begin with you. >> in our country, there are a lot of people who feel as though they just don't have the power. you know they feel like if they don't have a lobbyist, if they're not wealthy, that somehow they don't get to play. but all of my career, you know, having been raised in a -- by a mailman father whose father was a coalminer who died of black lung and losing eye sight or a mother whose mother barely spoke english. all of my career i thought about giving voice to the people who elected me. whether it's welfare reform and getting something back for the hard earned taxpayers. whether it's engaging in pentagon reform and taking on the big contractors that were charging thousands of dollars for hammers and screwdrivers and ripping us off. or whether it's taking on the special interests in the nursing home industry in ohio so that mom and dad have the ability to stay in their own home rather than being forced in a nursing home. that's who i stand up for, that's who's in my mind's eye. if you want to believe you can get your voice back, i will continue to fight for you, because you'res ones that built this country and will carry it into the future. thank you. moderator: governor bush? >> who can you count on to keep us safer, stronger and freer? results count, and as governor i pushed floored up a to the top in terms of jobs, income and small business growth. details plans count and i believe the plan i laid out to destroy isis before the tragedies of san bernardinand paris are the right ones. credibility counts. there will be people here that will talk about what they're going to do, i've done it. i ask for your support to build together a safer and stronger america. [applause] . moderator: governor chris christie? >> maria, neil, thank you for a great debate tonight. when i think of the folks out there tonight watching, and think about what they had to watch this week, the spectacle at the florida house of representatives with the president of the united states who talked a fantasy land about the way they're feeling. they know that this country is not respected around the world anymore. they know that this country is pushing the middle class, the hard working taxpayers backwards, and saw a president who doesn't understand their pain, and doesn't have any plan for getting away from it. i love this country. the most exceptional country the world has ever known. we need someone to fight for the people. we need a fighter for this country again. i lived my whole life fighting for things i believe in, fighting for justice and protect people from crime and terrorism, fighting to stand up for folks who have not had enough and need an opportunity to get more and to stand up and fight against the special interests. but here's the best way we're going to make america much more exceptional, it is to make sure we put someone on the stage in september who will fight hillary clinton and make sure she never, ever gets in the white house again, i am the man to bring us together to do that, and i ask for your vote. moderator: dr. ben carson? >> you know, in recent travels around this country, i've encountered so many americans who are discouraged and angry as they watch our freedom, our security, and the american dream slipping away. under an unresponsive government that is populated by bureaucrats and special interest groups. we're not going to solve this problem with traditional politics. the only way we're going to solve this problem is with we, the people. and i ask you to join me in truth and honesty and integrity. ben carson.com, we will heal, inspire and revive america for our children. [applause] >> senator marco rubio? >> you know, 200 years ago america was founded on the powerful principle that our rights don't come from government. our rights come from god. that's why we embrace free enterprise and made us the most prosperous people in the history of the world. that's why we embraced individual liberty and became the freest people ever, and the result was the american miracle. now as i travel the country people say what i feel. this country is changing, it feels different. we feel we're left behind and left out and the reason is simple, because in 2008 we elected as president someone who wasn't interested in fixing america. we elected someone who wants to change america, who wants to make it more like the rest of the world so he undermines the constitution, and undermines free enterprise by expanding government, and betrays our allies and guts our military. that's why 2016 is a turning point in our history. if we elect hillary clinton, the next four years will be worse than the last eight and children will be the first americans ever to inherit a diminished country. if you elect me, we will turn this country around, we will reclaim the american dream and this nation will be stronger and greater than it has ever been. [cheering and applause] . moderator: senator ted cruz? >> 13 hours, tomorrow morning a new movie will debut about the incredible bravery of the men fighting for their lives in benghazi and the politicians that abandoned them. i want to speak to all our fighting men and women. i want to speak to all the moms and dads whose sons and daughters are fight for this country and the incredible sense of betrayal when you have a commander in chief who will not speak the name of our enemy, radical islamic terrorism, when you have a commander in chief who sends 150 billion dollars to the ayatollah khamenei. i want to speak to all of those madened by political correctness where hillary clinton apologizes for saying all lives matter. this will end. it will end on january 2017. if i am elected president to every soldier and sailor and airmen and marine and effort firefighter and law enforcement officer who risk their lives to keep us safe, i will have your back. [cheering and applause] . moderator: mr. donald trump? >> i stood yesterday with 75 construction workers. they're tough, they're strong, they're great people. half of them had tears pouring down their face. they were watching the humiliation of our young ten sailors, sitting on the floor with their knees in a begging position, their hands up, an iranian wise guys having guns to their heads. it was a terrible sight. a terrible sight. and the only reason we got them back is because we owed them with a stupid deal, $150 billion. if i'm president, there won't be stupid deals anymore. we will make america great again. we will win on everything we do. thank you. [cheering and applause] . moderator: candidates, thank you. gentlemen, thank you all. all of you. that wraps up our debate. we went a little bit over here. we wanted to make sure everyone was able to say their due. he's upset. thank you for joining us. much more to come in the spin room ahead. >> our special coverage of the sixth republican presidential debate continues live from north charleston on the fox business network. >> the candidates debate performance concludes, they prepare for next part in the spin room, maria bartiromo and neil cavuto will join them there as well. an exciting two hours of debate. we saw the flashes we expected . sharp elbow, it was a fascinating exchange amongst these candidates. we'll take this up with brett baier, joining us from washington. charlie gasparino, sandra smith, trish reagan from debate in north charleston coliseum in charleston, south carolina. brett your thoughts? was this as contentious as you expected? >> i think so, there were a lot of different exchanges. a lot of candidates had good moments. politically speaking donald trump did not fumble the ball. it was most vigorous he had been, he had the upside of new york values back and forth with ted cruz. may have not won on birther issue. but overall, trump probably had a really strong debate tonight, as far as his supporters are concerned. marco rubio sometimes he comes off as practiced, tonight he was on point with some of the back and forths, the last one especially, where ted cruz said you are dumping the research on me be he said, no it was the your record. jeb bush with his best night, don't know if it's too late. i guess chris christie the other one, the others, i'm not sure if they made a the mark tonight. lou: trish in your thoughts on this two hours, after your earlier debate. with sandra smith moderating. this quite a little more -- >> we saw a lot of back and forth. >> donald trump and ted cruz had fireworks. which was interntaining to watch, i think that ted cruz shows he is an excellent debater, donald trump brought forward the humor we're accustomed to knowing him for. his humorous side came out in full force tonight. marco rubio also did a good job. there were good performances. it and was a intend a -- entertaining debate. lou: the content, i don't think that anything slipped through. by the same government this president of ours will turnover $150 billion, your thoughts on substance, what struck you most interesting. >> it was a huge night for donald trump and ted cruz for those predictioning the gloves were coming off we saw that as far asthma, mark, charlie gasparino is sitting to my right, he might disagree, but i think he felt like he was missing on the action, and forced his way in. john kasich was far left on the stage. he really got himself up there in the fight. >> i wrote down best one liners. and three naming came up, cruz, trump, and marco rubio, the best comebacks and commanded the stage, this is not oxford debating point, ronald reagan beat mondale after coming up with that catchy thing about youth and experience. a brilliant man put it in you may know. >> i like your instinct. >> my contract is coming up. as you know, this is not one on won on one liners and come back, those three had the best debate, i don't think this changes the race, jeb did not go well enough, kasich, did not do well enough, christie did not do well enough, carson did not do well enough, these 3 guys did well they controlled stage. lou: there was great talk about unity amongsts candidates. >> at times. lou: also reince priebus, i think fair to say suggested to governor haley she make things right with trump. in this came off as to me a performance of strongly contested issues by the candidates, but brett, it seemed to me that there was certain if not -- a certain avbility with it all. >> ben carson had the most fun up there laughing the most at some back and forth questions. i think when you look at ted cruz, he had -- there was the most exchanges involved cruz. he as trish mentioned very good at th the exchanges, a couple of them he did not follow-up on end, for example the rubio exchange and donald trump on new york values. i think that big loser of the night might have been the "new york times," it was hit many times from candidates. >> didn't you laugh every time they were to attack one another, they would say i really like marco, then they go out and vic -- vice rate them. >> it was funny. >> donald trump said, you know i like you tonight. >> a comrade i think, you know. >> you could neff tell whethe never tell if it was based on less to lose, and a vision of some doubt about what you could gain on part of the candidates, a terrific debate. a terrific moderator i get to return to now, neil cavuto is in position. over at the spin room. now, now you work really begins neil. neil: interesting, these guys came loaded and prepared, they wanted to be clear, there was something out there like the unspoken elephants in the room, they were all addressing them. including ted cruz issue. they really came out with their a-game, i am a little too close to this. but there were great lines and irk chargi exchanges and a lot of good humor, interesting this stage in the game they maintain their composure, and go at he or sh each other thigh were getting their points across. lou: your question to trump on tariffs and chinese trade, elicited i thought terrific information that many in the audience were surprised about. and by the way, donald trump knows where of he speaks in talking about the barriers to fair trade in the relationship with china. he had some interesting ideas, and suggests. and then the response to your question, of as you brought in jeb bush. saying we have to have a carefully consider approach here, which is a description of the approach that united states has taken for 20 years, this was a fascinating exchange, what do you make of it? neil: it is interesting talk about that, we have a couple trump fans behind me, i heard, cavuto you are a jerk, i thought is that ben carson? it is interesting. i just really, maybe i was slow at the take. but, when you talk about increasing a tariff, it is not the country that pays it but the americans who pay. i want to get it straight as to whether he advocated that 45 percent tariff. i don't know where that went. because, some of their fans behind me were feeling differently about that particular question. lou: a terrific job, neil, it was great fun to watch. you and maria outstanding. neil: we had a lot of fun lou, thank you very much. we're here in the spin room, ben carson is with me. i took a golf cart to get here, he walked and we get in roughly the same time, you must have a stride. how do you feel? >> i feel great, there was a lot of good issues you covered well. did a reasonable job of keeping that rowdy group under control. neil: you had one of the great lines, not your turn to speak, you said everyone. when you are in a venue like that, and you mentioned, you said, i really want to try to be a little bit more aggressive. i am paraphrasing, but, what were you eager to do. much as been written and said about staff shake ups. >> i butted in a couple of times, i wanted to butt in more but, you know, in terms of staff changes. it has been positive. one thing that you do when you make something good, is you change it. as it goes. you reach a certain point you move to something else. it is effective. neil: i noticed on foreign policy, you admitted in your early days is your weakness. have you been doing some homework. >> i am very comfortable with it. neil: you made a point of addressing that. >> because i think that is one reason that my poll numbers dropped, people thought that i probably was not well versed in foreign policy, and then you know, what to do with domestic terror. believe me, i can wax eloquently on that with any of those guys, seldom do you get an opportunity to do that. neil: you had a very good night, great seeing you then dr. ben carson there thank you. >> thank you. neil: donald trump coming up and more in the spin room, they put their own spin on who did well, who did not. i don't think a candidate would volunteer they not do well, i thought they all did pretty well, more on how to take this to iowa and new hampshire, you are watching fox [ music and whistling ] when you go the extra mile to help business owners save on commercial auto insurance, you tend to draw a following.

>> i think i did well, he did fine, there are a lot of lawyers that think he can't be running, he has to straighten it out. hopeful he can do something. he has to do something, you understand, if there is a 2% chance, you can't do it. neil: you say, if i don't raise it democrats will. >> they are all right saying they will bring a lawsuit. neil: he is out as your running mate because of that. >> he has to do something about it, he is a good guy, a nice guy. he has to do something about it, his professor from harvard is one of the people saying, not settled. others are doing worse, they say you can't do it you were not born on the land. neil: you had been almost like, a bromance going on but not tonight. >> i thought he was nice, then he hit me with this, he made a mistake. neil: his response? >> with his -- neil: you can't blame him. >> he could have done it in a different way, then he knocked hell out of people of new york, you can't do that. neil: that was descroj. strong. >> i love the people of new york. neil: what do you think he meant. >> i don't think what he meant, i love my people, the people of new york are special people, what they did with world trade center and the way we lived through that, i have never seen anything like it you can't knock those people, and whole world respects new york now because of that. neil: do you think he meant, in this, southern state in a reference to iowa, donald trump is from new york. east coast city? >> he insulted maria too, he said wow that was insulting, you can't insult the people of new york after what they have been with the world trade center coming down. neil: i am he said liberal town, donald trump is a a big guy. >> then i said great william f buckley. >> right. >> were you now, whatever whether it was this issue you were raising, with citizenship of ted cruz, something has -- >> i never dwashington posts interviewed me, they asked me one of many questions, was this question, what would happen, i said he was born in canada. he was a canadian citizen until 15 months ago, i said, i think he might a problem but he has to check it out, they went to various people, you had harvard law professors, and constitutional experts. neil: john mccain raised questions rand paul. >> great governor of iowa certificate of saying, you have to figure it out. but you can't have -- as a party. neil: you point is, he said he removed that doubt tonight. >> there are people who say he not allowed to run, only one that will remove that doubt is court. neil: what do you think he said maybe you're not a citizen? >> i have been here a long time, i was born in queens. that is fine. neil: okay. bottom line, you feel good, where are you going tonight. >> to iowa, i am leaving right now, a show in the morning, and you know it is invigorating. neil: how much sleep do you get? >> about 4 hours not a lot. neil: i think that is a stretch. not much. neil: you don't need it. >> i don't need it genetically, my father perhaps issu. i enjoyed show. neil: we did thank you donald trump, good seeing you, we were elegant last time not this time. >> you were very elegant. neil: i like that. >> you did a great job. neil: donald trump frontrunner in this race, as he has -- better than 6 months now, all right, you are watching more coverage from fox business network, on first presidential debate, of 2016. more after this. at ally bank, no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like working from home equals not working. numbers look pretty good, how's it on your end dave? oh, the numbers look so good. dave, dave's on it. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like reunions equal blatant lying. the company is actually doing really well on, on social media. oh that's interesting. i - i started social media. oh! it was my...baby. choose, choose, choose. but at bedtime?

>> look, you have to interject. you have got to speak your mind. you have to say what you believe and we are electing a president. we are electing a leader and some of the conversations, the senatorial conversations were mindnumbing. i'm still confused about ted cruz tax plan. >> you shake your head but no more so than we got into the muslim debate. that really seem to hit a nerve. >> well look where a noble country. we are a big country. we are the inspiration of the world. if we start sending signals out that no muslim can come into our country how are we going to forge the consensus necessary to win? king abdulah came to the united states this week. president obama didn't see him. he's our strongest ally in the arab world than he has what, 1.5 to 2 million refugees in that country. we should be showing support to our arab allies in france. we shouldn't be sending signals that they are second-class and they are not important. they are absolutely important. imagine 4 million refugees languishing in these camps were we are not engaged with the strategy to destroy isis and have a regime change in syria. this will be a multigenerational challenge and the idea if you are going to ban all muslims sent a powerful powerful message that we are not serious anymore. >> you came out very strong and the comment you made bots do you feel that you are running out of time? whether you are up or down but time is running out and you would have to get out of new hampshire, at least third. >> i know your job is to the punditry in the process. i'm not capable of that. i have got to do one thing. neil: is there a number for you? >> now there is a man run a national campaign. this could go a long way but i intend to do really well, better than expected in the early states. that's not hard to do because the bases had been written off. neil: you said it's very liberated. how so? >> we are doing better than everyone thinks and i would love the fact that a eventually there will be comeback story. neil: you do have an extensive operation everywhere. don't have this roll the dice and i don't minimize it but you do have a ground game that goes beyond new hampshire ground game so let's say whatever the number is, where are you really strong let's say when you go to south carolina or the ncc stays? how would you define a? >> we are strong in florida and if you take the members of the house and elected officials in all these people they have two native sons. neil: what if you cancel each other out? >> that could happen but eventually the campaigns move on and a out and we will be in it for the long-haul. neil: you think we could get to cleveland without someone having all the delegates necessary? >> all i notice people are hurting. 63% of the americans can't pay for a fiver dollar on a repair. think of the majority of americans living paycheck to paycheck. all the processed stuff i know is really important and it's interesting and entertaining. my focus is on how do we change directions so that people get more income in their wallets and some of the ideas that trump is bringing out. ♪ i built my business with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

>> it was certainly telegraphed in donald has been launching those attacks in every day for a week so i suspected it would come up. we talked about it in the debate and he said back in september he looked into it and his lawyers looked into it and there was no issue at all. the reason is simple, his poll numbers are falling. neil: is the romance gone? >> from my and i like donald and i continues to sing his praises. i'm going to defend myself. i'm not going to sit there. neil: i i noticed in the past he slept it off with a little reagan humor and you did have a humorous response that you are not going to take this lying down. how did you and your staff decide how to go about handling this? >> it shifted into a different phase. once we begin taking the lead in the iowa polls you saw donald didn't get very upset about that and event after event he would give five, six, seven minute basically link the attacks directed at me. neil: you must have known that moment was coming. >> to be honest you hope so. if in this debate no one was taking a shot at me -- neil: this unusual report you to happy because everyone else were ripping each others you know eyes out. i guess what i'm wondering is the next time you guys are at this or some other venue. >> from my and my approach is going to be the same with every candidate not just donald but everybody else. neil: particularly marco rubio. >> in the earlier debates were hid food fights and personal insults and things got pretty ugly and i consistently declined to give the middle of that. i don't think american people care about politicians bickering like schoolchildren so i will have a policy discussion with marco and i will have a substantive disagreement on his support for amnesty in my opposition but that's a policy discussion. i think marco is charming and i like him personally and in terms of the ad hominem attacks are not going to engage in them but many of the candidates on that field. neil: we went a little over tonight. they allowed you to respond to something and then he explains the record and he says you exaggerated and then goes after your inconsistencies. do you ever feel that you are just walking past each other? >> i actually think the american people are a lot smarter than many politicians. neil: they don't know the truth. >> that's it, they do know the truth. neil: dared to say that both of you are in a position? >> the voters are smart enough they remembered the gang of eight fight. they remember that marker was standing side-by-side with chuck schumer and with harry reid and barack obama. they remember he was fighting for amnesty. neil: when they talk about politically convenient buzz what do you say? you wouldn't be the first politician. >> it's unfortunately the classic game that you see washington politicians do. neil: your positions have evolved than that issue. >> they have not actually. my positions are exactly the same. i'm opposed to mandates on energy. i believe that we should pursue all of the above with no mandate, no subsidies for anyone and i would note. neil: you seem to put a five year timeframe on it. >> i was in 2014 in the legislation that i filed i've it put in place a five-year phaseout because people have reasonable investment backed expectations but my position is in every mandate have a fair and level playing field. no mandates or subsidies for oil and gas, wind solar ethanol for anybody and in iowa what i've been talking about there's a far more important barrier to ethanol producers than as a benefit and that is the epa blend oil that makes it illegal to sell higher blends of ethanol. i will and the epa blend wall. neil: said they probably knew and said we think he's lying down in iowa and we think we can catch him and between this and the citizenship thing. we can knock him off. >> of course they are going to pile up. three or four weeks ago every candidate on that stage was attacking donald trump. today just about every candidate on the stage is attacking me and i think the reason is what we have seen happen as conservatives are uniting on the ground. conservatives are coming together and we are singing that old -- seeing that old reagan coalition. we are seeing young people and hispanics and african-americans and jewish voters and women and reagan democrats and listen i understand why the other candidates are very dismayed. if conservatives unite, we went and my view, you know you asked before we went on there the attacks bothered me. listen i follow that old adage if you are not taking flak you are not over the target. the fact that they are throwing the kitchen sink him of the fact that the mainstream media they attacks are coming fast and furious is an indication of just how strong. neil: you have addressed i wouldn't say -- but you came back with a surgical strike. it's good humor but other times it was the first time i have seen in yes sir a little bit of anger. >> maybe i'm getting better. neil: are you angry? >> i am not angry. neil: i noticed even donald trump briefly talking. how did that go? >> listen, i like donald. he is terrific. he's an incredible marketer. he's a very talented entertainer andy scott courage. neil: would you may can be vice president? >> i mention mentioned that possibility. i've said from the beginning that i was grateful donald was in this race because he's playing who will stand up to washington. as you know before it was in the senate i was the supreme court litigator and is what i did for north of the decade. every battle is won before it's fought by choosing the terrain. if the central question of this race is who will stand up to washington, the natural follow-up is who has stood up to washington, who has taken onto not just democrats but leaders in our party and if that's the terrain and the narrative we win neil: your critics say what comes around goes around. they don't think there's anything to this issue but we don't like the guy. he doesn't make our lives easier. he's a little air reference and we are going to make his life difficult. >> listen it's no surprise to anyone that the washington cartel is striking back, that they are dismayed. they are dismayed beyond words. neil: it almost seems like where your friends in the senate? >> they are particularly dismayed because more and more this is coming down to a two-man race. the polling, the support it is more and more looking like it's donald trump and me and that has the washington cartel -- neil: do you have to win iowa? >> there's no one state we have to win. we will compete and do well in iowa and i believe we will compete and do well in new hampshire. neil: you will win iowa, donald trump has a good shot at taking new hampshire and then we go into a little more friendly to you down south and you have operations everywhere. >> super tuesday 10 days after south carolina. neil: you have an operation in place there and then what? >> we have a national campaign. we are one of the few campaigns as a national campaign. we have over 175,000 volunteers. we also have the most money in the bank and you know it hasn't been the case that the conservative come at the grassroots conservatives that has money since 1980, reagan was the last time. neil: did you raise 21, 22? >> we have raised over 47 million that has come from over 700 thousand contributions which means we have the resources to go the distance in one of the things we are seeing more and more people coming behind sing listen you guys are the only campaign that can be donald trump so if it's a two-man choice people are making a choice. who do i think is the best prepared to be commander in chief? who do i think is best prepared to lead this country and we are seeing our fund-raising exploding. we are singer restaurants exploding. neil: most agree with you that they don't think the citizens issue is a real issue. it gives people pause if they think that some is going to drag us into court as much as i like this guy cruz i might think of someone else. >> neil there are always notes that will sue any president whoever sue any present wherever they present as well have a gazillion suits and they will all be thrown out of court. neil: this will hit you where you can get out. >> this is is an "ebony" legs and going back to what we said before i think the american people are much smarter than many in the media give them credit for. people are looking for who was ready to be commander in chief, who has the experience, that knowledge, the clarity of vision to strengthen resolve to keep this country safe. listen when people this morning woke up and looked at 10 american soldiers sailors on their knees with their hands on their heads, look i was angry. you want to talk about being angry that make me angry to see american sailors with i ran trying to humiliate them and we have a commander-in-chief who is so weak, this is the manifestation of that and i think all of the rest of these attacks people don't care about. they want someone to keep us safe and if i'm elected we will repeal obamacare. we will kill the terrorists and i will defend the constitution. neil: senator thank you very much. do you -- continuing our conversation the spin room wrapping up our fox business today put a lot more questions about where the race goes from here the first presidential debate of this new year is now history. now, what history remains to be made. stick around, you are watching stick around, you are watching fox business. when you're on hold, your business is on hold. that's why comcast business doesn't leave you there. when you call, a small business expert will answer you in about 30 seconds. no annoying hold music. just a real person, real fast. whenever you need them. so your business can get back to business. sounds like my ride's ready. don't get stuck on hold. reach an expert fast. comcast business. built for business. neu donald trump visiting with reporters as are the candidates in the spin room. what happened here is pretty much true. they spend how they did. there are no reliable polls from these events. people have their own opinions but what they like to do is whether they did what they had to do to come here. did he provide enough doubt about rival ted cruz and did he keep the momentum and place? cruz said no and donald trump said maybe. we will continue now with what i call an italian hat trick. charlie gasparino and anthony. a big backer of jeb bush. >> he sounded very presidential. he's also talking that uniting people bringing people together. the republicans are going to win and i have a republican that wants it to happen. we have to unite people and reach into the independent but jeff is a guy that's capable of doing that. >> where all friends but i will say he hated you for a while. >> i wrote down to it the best, who made the points. neil: and you read these? >> i can. here's the thing neil, this is an oxford debate. it's not a harvard debate. this is who can make the best point the best way and you look at those, it was donald trump, it was ted cruz it was marco rubio. jeb had a good debate. i don't think there was enough to carry him. remember that mondale debate with ronald reagan? >> picked one point that was the brilliant political strategy. he said i'm not going to -- that carried the debate. neil: a lot of people did well but he didn't really move the needle. >> the polls will say whether or not we move the needle but the impression was that he handled himself very well. there's no question donald trump had a great debate tonight. ted cruz is a great debater. donald trump actually explained a valuation. not that he knew what he is talking about. neil: don't get me started on tariffs. >> we are on a fair and balanced network. neil: we have a lot more coming up on ohio governor kasich will be joining us. i think these guys had a pretty good night that if they all had a pretty good night -- more i don't believe we have a good process of being able to vet them but i think a pause and sear in record penick sacre right bravo governors that have called for it and also of course for me is the governor of ohio. neil: that was kasich trying to make a distinction between -- and the syrian refugees and not arcing them off based on --. >> if we are going to kill isis we can't go out but having a coalition of arabs with us. neil: i think what struck me as you are not going to go along with this plan. >> i've never been for that. i was the first one to criticize it but for the syrian refugees neil badeaux not a vet these people. i have had minors from central america who have been dumped in ohio. we do know where they were now there's a case of some of them have been trafficked a demonstration doesn't have credibility with me when it comes to the idea of setting them so we had to slow it down and not bring them in here until we determine who they are. that's a reasonable program. neil: you take the easy bait page and say maybe trump is right about it but you lose, dan wright i want to do that. how do you balance that? >> neil yet to be true to yourself you have not been this thing to yell the loudest or be extreme because i figure i can win and then i want to pull the country together. you cannot fix social security. he can't balance budgets you can fix the border you can't do any these things, protect the homeland unless you have people in the other party to say yeah all go along. that's what reagan did with tip o'neill so we are rising in new hampshire. neil: do you think is there such a thing governor as he can't do worse than third there are? >> i have to be able to perform well. i will tell you what it means for you are talking about my national name i.d. goes up frankly the money is starting to come and in more now because of the polls and i think this debate tonight will be viewed as a really great success talking to people about their economic insecurity was really the purpose of it and talking about people that don't have a big voice, it works. and you know what's? if you go into a town hall and you want to get people down and you can do it but i go to a town hall and i want people to get up so i don't see the anger. we have problems that they can be fixed and so i don't find all these people yelling and screaming and frenzied and i've done more town halls than anybody new hampshire. i have done a bunch in iowa. neil: the friction between you and kristi sometimes what's that about? >> i don't have any friction with chris. look the only difference would be some of our records are different. i have been downgraded i move 385,000 jobs. i have a surplus. neil: you pointed that out a few times. >> that's not a friction that's just talking about the record. neil: but it's not getting heated? >> i think i can expect a lot of it coming at me in the next few weeks. neil: the guy is surging. >> these are independent polls well respected will laud up and not just some tracking poll. their real polls and we are rising and i think we will continue to rise. neil: t. leave new hampshire and come here? >> i told them that pulliam marched across europe in a week and we have nine days. i was in nevada this last week and i'm optimistic and then we go to the south trent lott might big supporter mississippi the governor and alabama and at some point we come north. we go to illinois where he just made the ballot michigan ohio and pennsylvania. i like kasich country. neil: renee gets tired of hearing this. >> you can't offend me. neil: everyone says if this guy doesn't pull it off he's everyone number one choice for number two, ohio great record. i know that bothers you because you are running for the top job but you have to have cases there. >> if i'm not number one i don't want to discuss it. i'm not interested in that. i'm running to be -- neil: your record is commendable. >> that is why should be picked as the nominee. neil that's like saying what he going to do in 30 years? neil: bottom line you are not entertaining that right now? >> i'm running for president and i'm getting somewhere neil. neil: all right, all right. i'm just throwing it out there. good seeing you. have a very nice guy. very passionate. >> my mother and buy your art is your favorite% after these questions about the vice president if she were alive. neil: i'm sorry. i feel very badly about that. good luck in new hampshire. very good. after this i can understand the governor not returning. he gets an attitude going. you are watching fox business. we are honored to have a chance to talk to the governor and so many others. much more. why do some cash back cards keep throwing obstacles at you? first - they limit where you earn bonus cash back. then - those places change every few months? i think i'll pass... quicksilver from capital one puts nothing in your way. you simply earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. you can't dodge the question... what's in your wallet? say they'll save youfor every by switching,surance companies you'd have like a ton of dollars. but how are they saving you those dollars? a lot of companies might answer "um..." or "no comment". then there's esurance - born online, raised by technology and majors in efficiency. so whatever they save, you save: hassle, time, paper work, hair tearing out and, yes, especially dollars. that's auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. backed by allstate. click or call. >> you supported doubling the number of green cards and now you say your you say your chance to you say you're ginsburg used to support you say your chance to break the use is supported by one of% workers now you say you're against it. you used to support legalizing people that were here illegally and now you say you're against it. used to say you were in favor of birthright citizenship and now you say you're against them by the way it's not just immigration. you used to support tpa and now you say you're against it. i saw you on the senate floor flip your vote on crop insurance because they told he would you what help you in iowa and last week we saw you flip your vote on ethanol in iowa. [applause] that is political calculations. neil: back-and-forth, back-and-forth. let's just say this was not a warm and fuzzy moment buried the gentleman that we saw a lot of exchanges like that. who won tonight lacks. >> i am biased. i supported senator rubio. neil: why? >> he's right on the issues i care the most about. i've had a relationship with him since jim demint introduced us in 2010 the present their message and a persuasive aspirational way that i think is important. neil: he's very good at debate and ted cruz is no slouch in debates but on the citizen stuff that donald trump is raising is there any there there? >> i don't think so. i was fascinated because i was sick mediocre lawyer but i did it for a long time. i think those legal issues are interesting but that law was settled 100 years ago. neil: is not really about congress providing a seed of doubt? if you are close let's say you are looking at cruz and you are looking at rubio and looking at trump i would love to support this group but understand there might be a legal fight over whether he's a citizen or not. isn't that what this is about? >> i think we were going to raise that issue we should have done with barry goldwater or john mccain or george romney. i do support senator rubio and i would defend senator cruz says that being a non-legal issues who is a lawyer. neil: so you don't think it's a al b thi? ere e otr ises f you but. with rubio the question is can he breakout pass these two guys because lately it's been cruz trump, cruz trump. how's he going to do that? >> i think in south carolina the more people that get to know him. he's great on rebuilding defense which is important in south carolina. he's good on the 2nd amendment. people are frustrated and they're angry and there's a reason for that but all of that frustration and anger should be channeled into winning in 16 -- neil: do you think they can all gather round and to the woodstock thing thing and huckabee and? >> i do because there's too much at stake not to do it. i'm going to support the nominee if my person is not the nominee i'm still going to support him. >> i'm going to support the nominee because our weakest candidate is better than their strongest. neil: what do you make at sncc e. haley? some were surprised that she sings donald trump. do you get a sense that that is going to be a problem but that wasn't unnecessary problem and a self-inflicted wound when she should have responded to the president and she threw him into the mix? he was pretty ticked off. >> he was but governor haley is not afraid of anyone or anything which is why she is so popular in south carolina. you know that night everybody thought she had done a great job and 24 hours later they were kind of recalibrating. it's a tough line of work and if everybody likes you on thursday night they may not like you friday morning. neil: you knew that. the hearings on benghazi they were saying he has to deliver a knockout blow here and after all those hours amazed by your legal skills. he didn't lay a glove on her. what do you think of that? >> back i think the smoking gun is the fact that she had her own unique server arrangement and that ironically could be her real achilles' heel. >> once people know she had her own server that's no longer the smoking gun but go back two years ago. if you were told that a benghazi committee would find her e-mails and nobody else found, chris stevens e-mails that nobody else found and patrick kennedy, susan rice and you would say they did a great job. those are all home runs. it's just -- neil: people almost want to, you raise great issues to your point. if the fbi ask on this or recommends taking actions with the justice department. the justice department doesn't act. >> there are's one jury that her framers gave us every four years in november and the fact that doj may or may not do something, the voters can certainly mete out their own discipline and to senator rubio's point the mishandling of information the decision to have your own server whether or not there's any criminality, the jury can judge that. the voters can judge that. there are lots of forms of consequences. neil: regarding surprise she's having a devil of a time in iowa and new hampshire? she might not be the nominee. >> am i surprised? i am not surprised. i have only met her once and she was really cordial. cheryl mills senate, abedin said they were treated respectfully by her committee. her husband's administration hired me to be a prosecutor. it was the democrats have that hired me. they may regret that decision but they did. i only met her once and that was for 30 seconds. it wasn't just all -- neil: and you guys get along. >> we only fight when the cameras are on. neil: very good seeing you congressmen. >> you did a fantastic job tonight. neil: thank you very much. the crowd to stand out a little bit and they just want to make sure they get their message across. they voted a good night and donald trump is still at that point. point. more after this. when it comes to small business, she's in the know. so strap yourselves in for action flo! small business edition. oh, no! i'm up to my neck in operating costs! i'll save the day! for plumbers and bakers and scapers of lawn, she's got insurance savvy you can count on. you chipped my birdbath! now you're gonna pay! not so fast! i cover more than just cars and trucks. ♪ action flo did somebody say "insurance"?

>> i think we look at this debate at the end of the day two more days you will see two people switch positions. i think kasich didn't good job. neil: what did it for him? >> three of his answers in the middle for a very pragmatic and to the point. he said exactly what needs to be done to move the bar. i think ben carson is going to have a hard time coming out of this because everyone of his answers seem to not resonate. neil: i thought ben carson did a hell of a lot better than he did today. >> he may have been clear but his answers meant nothing to the question. neil: ivana trump go? >> if i had to go with trumpet or cruz i would give them 50/50. trump turned around and smacked him over denigrating new yorkers and whether we like the way said it or not the impression that the end of the day with the denigration. i live in new york so a little denigration. neil: who knew that trump would handle it the way he did but immediately went to 9/11. that shows a little bit of character. >> eubie look at the entire debate it's like it had drama and conflict in the tatel little bit of a battle that i'm wondering if it played a little bit to a reality tv overall narrative. we need to get some specifics and the only one to me was kasich. neil: you are the first guy that said that. you could be right but let me ask you about how this race goes now. i think i have a theory that a lot of them did well and won a lot of them do well than the needle doesn't move. so as you see this race developing now, who has the inside shot? >> i think when you really look at it you saw some chaff fall and simply rise pretty think think trump cruz at rubio are going to be your end of the last minute and i can't wait to see a debate among the three of them. you saw the earlier debate that you were moderating. i think the three gave us an opportunity to listen to real answers. neil: do you think rand paul will be gone? >> i think he's gone. how is he going to stay in this race unless he decides to be an independent? he's going to regret that. neil: understood. now what? republicans have routinely dismissed donald trump because they say he could never be elected president. do you think that's beginning to change because just judging on the crowd a great deal of passion, there was a great deal of passion but more and more people say i can see it or if i can see a president trump. >> i think we have discussed this off camera all the big money has been sitting on the side churchgoing in a little bit i think after this debate and we see what happens in the first election i think you will see again three on the top and three in the bottom and one in the middle. i believe in carson, bush and christie are sitting at the bottom. i think kasich. neil: what did you like about christie? >> there are a couple of things i don't like about christie and unfortunately bombastic answers aren't the way to prove -- neil: he was not the only one with bombastic answers. >> if you look at the difference between new jersey and united states of america and most new jerseyans want them out, will the rest of the country want them out also? neil: he could be the republican nominee answered by the general election? >> we are selling short the idea that america's artisan franchise with the other side. they are disenfranchised with the country and i will say it again people have been calling me and see me on the news at fox commenting on the things we have been talking about in each time i asked them what do you think about the democratic field i want to hear about what the republicans want to -- have to say. i keep hearing from my perspective people coming up with an excuse to not vote for the other side and an excuse to vote for the other side. neil: a lot of people recognize you. people know you and you are a big deal. do you sign autographs for people? >> i will stop with reporters and take pictures and sign autographs. a security guard asked me if i would sign -- neil: when i signed it i said thanks for your service and sometimes i will sign neil thinks i'm the greatest thing since sliced bred. but i do say that i've enjoyed being here and i have to tell you something whether people like it or not the independent voice at fox you guys have accepted this voice and he voice and he lets his voice and resume. neil: i haven't. i'm not a big fan. you did a great job. agree or disagree but there's something about montel. he gets his opinion across. we have a lot more coming up. you are watching coverage, i had such a good time. let me tell you about the hotels.

>> meal we thought the top trending states on facebook the states that were the most engaged. nh no surprise vermont the home of senator bernie sanders would let me show you quickly the top issues became out of date debate from 9:00 to 11:00. iran immigration isis, the economy and guns. i know what you want to hear, which candidate came out on top in terms of the conversation? no surprise donald trump continues to be the most talked about candidate on facebook file but by ted cruz marco rubio, carson and chris christie getting into the top five there. we want to also show you the most social moment here. i want to see if i've got that. here we go. this was the most social moment on our fox business facebook page and it was you are an american as everyone else is on the stage. that is the most important question facing the country and also the most on facebook ted cruz saying i'm not taking legal advice from donald trump. neil. neil: when they say it's the most talked about, what does that mean? let's say donald trump was the most talked about that doesn't necessarily mean that they think is the best. that he was the best personality. >> right come you see donald trump's name come up in a way that they support or perhaps they don't like him, like shares of links regarding donald trump or any sort of action is an engagement and that's where we see donald trump resonating good or bad. neil: did they say anything about me? >> yeah, they left you neil. neil: you are lying. >> i have all the data, i know. neil: okay, you were good jolene. >> hashtag neil cavuto. it's other happening. neil: i do know about about larry sabato. he's probably the smartest political pundit and single-handedly responsible for jimmy carter. good to see you my friend. >> yes my friend. you once had the two of us on. by the way we are once again the night as we always do. donald trump gave you a good run at the end. he knew he had his best debate. neil: that is what i was going to ask you and thank you for glossing over it. how did he do, he's the leader. what do you think? >> i think he was strong for these reasons. i think he was not alone by the way. think cruz had a really good night. the rankings on the candidates with cruz and christie was also in their at least noise in there. neil: he has to break through. >> let me tell you what trump did. if you think of the mood of the country, not the mood of our audience. it's quite an establishment for the republican group by the way and that's why he got booed. this is a very establishment republican party in charleston south carolina but when he did the thing about why i am angry, but he was saying to voters why are you angry that was powerful. that may have been to me the most powerful. neil: would you agree or disagree --. >> he takes his position in the other thing he did did was a moment about new york. that was actually the first. there was real emotion with trump. neil: he didn't dial that back. he went after cruz on a lot of things. he was going to engage cruz and he wasn't going to let up. then he turned around and did the same with rubio. what do you make of how he donald trump is honing his message? >> i think he's honing it really well. i thought rubio, i think he gives the best answers in a debating sense. he's unbelievable but in some ways almost too perfect. there was a moment of reflection but i've had cruz had a big night. i thought he open strong. neil: he put the whole citizenship --. >> he was very funny. i never thought much of that issue. neil: it was to plant the seed of doubt. >> it was meant to distract him. this is the amateur here. he took the clintons and knock them off their track. i have never seen, for a whole week they didn't know what to do in ttip this issue and asked the questions and developed it enough to distract the cruz campaign and get them off of their momentum and get people on it. he is very apt in that way. i told you after this, i have to reflect on this one. neil: you don't have an answer? >> i don't have an answer. neil: why. neil: wire. neil: why are you here? >> i'm here because i'm holding out on the answer but i do have one insight for you. do you want it or not? every presidential campaign which is a long, long time and the front-runner but person that will wrap it up quickly never does and do you know why? because the voters aren't are sure. when they get her front-runner, they stop and say is that the person that i want as president and they get judged harder. that's my inside. neil: you are the man. i love the guy. he's an encyclopedia. you did that. >> look he's a great man and obama has saved him. now we realize the good he really was. neil: thank you very much and i want to thank all of you for joining us and my staff in the background making all this an step corp presentation of the gop debate starts now. >> i paid for this microphone. >> announcer: tonight the republican candidates for president are ready to capture their moment.
