boeing makes 787's in south carolina and washington. g.e. makes gas turbines in greenville, south carolina, mostly sold through ex-im financing to the developing world. if you're worried about china stepping in, if we don't have this great trade deal, here's what i'm worried about -- that if our bank expires then the market share that we have today because we have competitive financing goes away and the biggest beneficiary of closing down the bank is china. i'm not going to subject american manufacturers to trying to sell their products overseas without ex-im financing when all their competitors have an ex-im bank. as a matter of fact, china's bank is bigger than the united states france, england and germany combined. airbus great airplane. france and germany have an ex-im bank. so an american manufacturer when it comes to wide-bodied aircraft or in i other product sold overseas in developing world in bank that makes money for the taxpayer makes them competitive. so all those who really do believe in trade, the fact that you would let the ba

hillary clinton back in south carolina. it's a first political trip back to the state that heard her 2008 campaign, where she struggled with minority voters. just before the important south carolina primary, she took criticism for seemingly downplaying the role of activists in the civil rights movement. some suggested she gave more credit for civil rights victories to the legislative success of former president lyndon b. johnson than to the leadership of dr. martin luther king jr. and bill clinton was forced to backtrack after calling then senator obama's position on the iraq war a, quote, fairy tale. he said he was only talking about the war, not obama's drive to be the first black president. but the damage was done. clinton lost to obama by nearly 30 points in south carolina. today she was back in south carolina getting a warm reception, reaching out to minority voters and hosting a round table with minority small business owners. here is what she said about the meeting. >> i just came from kiki's chicken and waffles, whi

so crucial as far as south carolina goes. but don't forget the actual female vote for hillary clinton, you look at it her event today. she had lunch with a women's group. she -- we're awaiting this address to the women's group, as well. and you consider the fact that carly fiorina is also there in columbia as we speak hoping to get her message known and her campaign as a gop hopeful. >> trying to steal attention away. thank you very much. >>> joining us is john king, member of the south carolina house of representatives. it's great to have you with us sir. is there anything lingering within the state of south carolina? resentment from 2008 toward the clintons do you think? >> i don't think that there is anything resentful here or lingering in south carolina for hillary clinton or the clinton family. we are excited here in south carolina to have hillary clinton here. i'm the first legislator in the city to endorse her. i supported president obama the last time and i'm a stark supporter of hillary clinton this time. >> certainl

his team in south carolina is underrated. it's one of the strongest political teams any candidate's put together in any state and rubio, my hunch is, my end up being a better cultural fit and a bigger political force in south carolina than he is in new hampshire and iowa. john: i would have said that marco rubio was going to be my call. but i always want to try to get in the disagreement zone with you. today i'll avert and choose scott walker. just because scott walker right now, if you had to pick a frontrunner in the race right now, just on the basis of polling, scott walker still at the head of the field right now. you can see marco rubio coming up fast. walker has not had a big moment in weeks. i think he's got to try to reseize the momentum or he's going to see himself ecliment -- eclimsed by rubio and there's always of course jeb bush hovering in the wings. mark: there's another guy who won't be in south carolina which is john kasich. he's in columbus today. we're reporting on bloombergpolitics.com that he's having a bi

things move slowly in the small town of latta, south carolina. but when shuler's bar-b-que opens its doors, people near and far come rushing in with some traveling hundreds of miles to eat their legendary barbecue. lynn: hi. how are y'all? welcome to shuler's. lemonis: it's an all-you-can-eat barbecue buffet, and their speciality is pulled pork and ribs. their biscuits are always one of the biggest draws. woman: excellent barbecue, some of the best i have ever had. norton: thank you, ma'am. lemonis: married couple lynn and norton hughes struggled to have a family until late in life. they were blessed when they adopted their young son and named him after norton's father, shuler. lynn and norton opened up shuler's bar-b-que restaurant in 1996 without any prior restaurant experience. they've relied on time-tested family recipes... norton: i can remember my daddy putting meat on the coals. that shows you we're cooking right. lemonis: ...and traditional cooking practices passed down by norton's father. this business has grown bigger than they ever exp

especially south carolina. what really struck out to me was this young man, 18 years old. peyton robinson is his name he has family members in the military and flying the flag along with the p.o.w. m.i.a. flag to show support for family members how about the parents and students and veterans who came out to support the young man the next day, which is why the school decided to change their minds. lori: a polar opposite type of young man. dzhokhar tsarnaev the boston bomber who was convicted and sentenced to death. i'm switching gears quickly i know we asked to you come on before the verdict was announced. you told me you had a strong feeling about the decision to sentence tsarnaev to death. >> we've got to start sending a strong message to the jihadists if they try to attack us we will fight back. there is a price to pay. and look i think that they made the right decision by sentencing this man to death, this terrorist to death. issue is how is that going to be carried out? a lot of folks would not mind stickin

jeb bush was in south carolina one week ago. it is not like he is ignoring south carolina. in an insiders game -- insider's game, clearly you want everyone there but no one is really going to remember who was here and who wasn't. it is just a good opportunity at the very beginning of the campaign for people -- you know an important part of south carolina to measure the candidates. host: the third part of your story, i have your story here in front of me, former arkansas governor mike huckabee. guest: thank you. he has a family commitment that is legitimate. host: you talk about the organizers of this event. jeff duncan is one of the names at the top of the event. guest: i would look at senator tim scott. jim demint, who is now head of the heritage foundation, he has the ability to influence the big insiders and the establishment down here, and the activists the tea party activists. if there is an heir to demand, it is senator tim scott. if there's going to be a tea maker -- team maker, that would be tim scott. host: thank you for your time. we have about 10 minutes left in

bruder, dash cams in south carolina, are they pretty common? >> they are common. they're mostly required by law but we're still having problem getting funding for that. >> would you say 80%, 70%? 80%? >> probably 70% to 80% of patrol vehicles. not all law enforcement vehicles, but patrol vehicles that do traffic enforcement. >> how do they store the data or keep the data? >> they have methods that they do that within the local agencies there. they can go back and either download that through a cloud means or they can go in and physically connect to a computer. >> how much more expensive would it be with the body cameras? would it be exponentially more expensive? >> based on the sheer number of hours and amount of video, it is going to be exponentially greater. most of our agencies have been looking at these and trying to get different cost examples. a lot of them have come back with the number of $100 per month per officer to store data. >> $100 per month, per officer. >> yes, sir. >> miss miller, what's a guesstimate as to how much it would cost the nation if eve

>> when you look at the poll numbers in south carolina her lead is just commanding there. it is hard to envision a situation where they would be able to take her out. it's still early. who knows. maybe they could have a moment. maybe people could get clinton fatigue. like you said the bigger point, the broader point, is to say we didn't take any of these states for granted. we showed up in south carolina we campaigned there just like we did in new hampshire and iowa. >> would she be better off going to iowa again or is this just she has to put her in perfunctory nevada visit and south carolina visit. >> it does feel like a per funkry visit. a democrat has not won south carolina in the general election since 1976 when it was jimmy carter. the odds she's going to be able to take this state in the general are low, no matter what republican she's up against. i do think this is a way to go there to kind of touch and feel with the primary voters having a series of women's events. i'm sure she will do our women empowerment chat and say i've within to the primary states an not tre
