there was indeed something called trump university that trump started back in 2005. it failed and landed trump in legal hot water. the first problem, it was branded as a, quote, university, but it was not an official university. it wasn't accredited and it had no authority to happened out degrees. it was a serious of business seminars. as "the washington post" reported last year, a class action suit was filed in california by a former trump university student named art cohen who said he spent more than $36,000 on courses that failed to deliver the top-notch education the university had promised, unquote. trump is actually slated to testify in that case perhaps later thisç campaign year. now, trump is right when he describes this as a civil case, but there's more than one case out there. in 2013, new york attorney general eric snyderman sued trump and the university, accusing trump of, quote, engaging in persistent, fraudulent, illegal, and deceptive conduct, unquote, and here is where rubio likely got that tidbit about the cardboard cutout of trump. snyderman alleg

i'd hate to see this country get hurt by donald trump. >> now, trump university ads promised that these instructors on your real estate genius would be handpicked by you, but in fact, the story is that a lot of them were picked just so they could get people to sign up. and one of them was a manager from a buffalo wild wings. so did you hand pick the instructors or not? >> okay. many of them we were hand picked and i hand picked our people. and the people i think did a good job. and they ran a good school. and i'll tell you about the school. it had an "a" rating from the better business bureau and the people that i think you even have on there have given a great report card. just about everybody that took the course, almost everybody signed a document and they rated the school. they rated the course, what they learned, was it good? not a huge amount of money if they didn't pay a huge amount of money. but what happened is -- >> wait. some of them paid $35,000. >> wait. >> wait, wait, some paid $35,000. that's a lot of money. >> chris, 98% of the people that took the courses, we have repor

now. $36,000 at a trump university. it is a fake school. you get a cardboard cutout of donald trump. that is what you get for $36,000. >> here's a guy that buys a house for $179,000. he sells it to a lobbyist who is probably here for $380,000 and legislation is passed. you tell me about this guy. this is what we're going to have as president? >> if he hadn't inherited $200 million, you know what he would be doing right now? selling watches in manhattan. >> that is so wrong. we're work on that. i took $1 million and i turned it into $10 billion. i borrowed $1 million. >> let's see his tax returns. >> i borrowed $1 million. i turned it into $10 billion. >> so that happened. >> i just felt such pity for whoever is does the simultaneous translation for telemundo. >> what is interesting is what does trump do now with marco rubio? he has been so great at branding other opponents. ted cruz. he talked about jeb bush. you know, marco rubio will be branded by donald trump at a time he needs to start winning. >> and choking. he ma

obviously he's got a record in d business, illegal immigrants, tax returns, trump university. i was never that pretty . >> t a lot of what's getting attention right w now is that 2 of republican voters who are supporting donald trump or ted cruzsh is that they feel misrepresented by washington, d.c. l they think middle americans cling to their guns and religion and i think they're looking at trump andfi the assertiveness tt he's fighting the washington establishment and also ted krusz, is so if we're going to be fair, the club for growth was out there last fall attacking hs trump. this is much more a clue to understand that people are out there hurting and the elites in washington, d.c. are looking down their nose at us. >> the debate this past week an was, well i called it an embarrassment for the republican party.kay. take a look. >> thank you for the book. >> donald. >> g donald, you can get back o your -- >> we're having a lot of fun up here tonight, ire have to tell you. >> and a number of our viewers agreed. lee burnham posted this on facebook, it has turned into a circu

>> let me say something about trump university. i looked into this about three years ago before i knew donald trump, because it struck me as curious, why would a billionaire many, many times over be trying to defraud people of a few thousand dollars. this made no sense to me on its face. what i discovered, number one, the attorney general of new york had been going to donald trump himself, to his family members, asking for campaign contributions and wanted more and didn't get it. number two, a state senator from new york, democrat, who was convicted, was working with the fbi, wearing a wire, she accused the attorney general, the former state senator of corruption. so in other words, there was a whole another side to this trump university thing. >> but it is more than just a few thousand dollars. there's people who spent as much as $35,000 for courses. >> but if you're a billionaire ten times over, this is my point, this is not -- >> you could also make the argument, why having vodka or a tie line. currently, donald trump is interes

he's nailing him on trump university. he walked him through -- if you looked at the last two hours of the campaign today where rubio is on the stage in front of a huge crowd and then going to trump. rubio looked better. rubio looked like he could outtrump trump. he's got better skills at this actually and he's really mocking him now. that will be interesting to see how this plays out. >> we listened to both candidates live. senator rubio looked like he was having a lot of fun out there. >> he does. my initial reaction is that he was pretty successful. we can see that. when donald trump is punched, he can't resist himself. he's kind of a narcissistic guy and people like that cannot resist fighting back if anybody criticizes them. but my opinion is he waited too late. he waited -- you can't wait until three days before super tuesday to start attacking someone who's this far ahead. i think what he's doing would work had he started two months ago doing this. >> kevin, what's your reaction to that? that's not the first time i'

direct from the university chairman's own mouth. >> at trump university, we teach success. that's what it's all about. success. it's going to happen to you. >> reporter: it operated from 2005 through 2010 and enrolled 10,000 students in real estate courses that ranged from free seminars up to $35,000 for advanced training and mentoring. trump university took in an estimated $40 million from people who believed they, too, could some day become successful. >> but proven donald trump secrets to work for you. >> reporter: but it turns out not everything donald trump promises comes true. and not all of his businesses lead to success. trump university is closed. >> and it ended. why did it end? >> well, the economy crashed. the real estate market crashed and demand fell off a little bit. >> reporter: alan garden is donald trump's attorney. he's defending the school from three separate lawsuits. two class-action lawsuits filed in california and one filed by new york attorney general eric schneiderman. it's one of the california cases donald trump has been named as a witness. pretr

domain, that got plenty after tension. illegal immigrants, tax returns, trump university. why wasn't that brought up? >> a wloost is getting attention is the reason that 65% of republican voters are supporting people like trump or ted cruz is they feel totally ignored by washington, d.c. s a cultural play. they understand that the elites and the court of washington in new york look down their nose at the middle america. they think they cling to their guns and religion. they're looking at trump and the assertiveness with which he's fighting the washington establishment. they find an i had continue to. that maybeim imminent domain, ted cruz is doing this for months. this is who understands out there that people are hurting? this is a tough time. life is tough. it's getting tougher. who understand thatz elites in washington, d.c., are looking down their nose at us. >> whoever you like in the republican race, the debate this past week was, well, i called it an embarrassment for the take a look. >> okay. >> thank you for the book. thank you for the book. >> dan ald onald -- >>

they talked about trump university. and then also said he looked over merng workers and went to hire illegal immigrants. that is trump's brand. >> also referencing these 200 du duke. >> he said, listen, if you build the wall, who is going to do it? ilt going to be illegal immigrants. so i think if they carry that through, we know that part of the base of donald trump's support is a pissed off, working class wouk be. >> let moo say something about trump university. i looked into this about three years ago before i knew donald trump because it struck me as curious, why would a billionaire be many. times over defraud people of a few thousand dollars. this made no sense to me on its face. i looked into it. number one, the attorney general of new york been going to donald trump himself, to his family members and won't. >> she accused the attorney general, aform state senator, of corruption. there is o o. >> you can say why have a tie line if you're a billionaire? donald trump is interested in businesses as much as possible.

you keep hearing about trump university. it's a civil case, sleazebag law firm that does the class action cases they're routine and i will win the case in the end. i just didn't want to be forced to settle and i could have settled it before i did this and i knew somebody would try to use it for publicity but i believe i can turn it around to show you how dishonest these people are and that's the case. if i didn't have a hostile judge in california it would have ended years ago, a long time ago. okay, are you ready? so that took place with rubio. rubio's going nowhere, hasn't won at all. they're fighting, now what they want to do is take trump on individually. they're all fighting. i saw this morning, we should get out, this one should get out, that one should get out, kasich should get out, a nice guy even though -- but he's tougher than you think, another one. he's very nice, oh, so terrible you're fighting, it's so terrible, so terrible. he's always on the end, you know, close to getting out. when you're on those end posit

one of the trump university lawsuits. here you are. >> right. >> there is a hostility to me from the judge, tremendous hostility, beyond belief. i believe he happens to be spanish which is fine. he is hispanic which is fine. and we haven't asked for recusal which we may do. but we have a judge that is very hostile. >> the attorney general of new york after those remarks accused you of racial demagoguery mentioning he's hispanic. >> i think the judge has been extremely hostile to mechlt it that's to do with perhaps the fact that i'm very, very strong on the border. very, very strong on the border. he has been extremely hostile to me. this is a case that in our opinion should have been won a long time ago. it's a case we should have won on summary judgment. we're nothing with this. we have a very hostile judge. he is a very hostile judge to mechlt i me. i said it loud and clear. the attorney general -- >> why even bring up that he's hispanic? it does raise a question. >> because you always bring it up, chris, because you al

trying to label trump failed will trump university as >> but i will address you know little rubio. this guy has fresh mouth, he is very nasty guy. i actually thought that ted cruze was liar but rubio is worse i. i mean he worse. light weight rubio total light weight. and, little mouth on him beginning, beginning, beginning. >> former arizona governor endorsed trump today. just one day after new jersey governor chris christie and maine governor paul la page threw their support as well. ted cruze lot to say about race for the republican nomination today in land. calling front-runner a conservative imposter. outside of the georgia capital he said that at the rally cruz went after trump's position on immigration, and gun control. he also criticized his ethics and hammered for his frequent use of the profanity. >> i don't think presidential candidates -- like school children bickering. i think difference should be on substance. you know so does points i am making about atrump are all focus on substance his policy record. versus my policy record. vision for this country. >> now georgia a

university -- i know -- you know why i know this story about trump university? because i've read about this story. i understand all of these people were promised, they were going to learn to be a real estate mogul like donald trump. they went out and trump wasn't there, somebody would show them -- and the only reason i bring that up is because i've read this story before, bob. voters don't care. i'm not minimizing it. the next question is why don't ideological republicans care that he supports planned parenthood? why don't evangelicals care he's lived the life he's lived the life he's voting -- >> why do so many voters push for a muslim ban? that's our job. >> the point is what's our job. our job -- >> to do what the "times" is doing, what brill is doing, what you're doing. >> and connect it all. >> connect it in a way that the "times" hasn't. >> but as katty says, though, that's happened. >> that doesn't mean the people are going to care about the way you connect it. >> that's fine. >> and in the way you connect it, sometimes people may perceive that as being a

he listened to the trump organization and how they have defended trump university. you get to one of your first callers questions. if somebody signed up for this, they signed up by her beware. -- buyer beware. some of the condo owners are small investors, would end up suing. in toronto's case the judge said investor beware because you were promised by non-trump people another developer that you are going to get x returns and you did not. host: one more tweet saying trump is the ponzi politician. casinos, trump university, all failures with his name. james is joining us from gulf shores alabama online for republicans with tim higgins of bloomberg news. caller: good morning. that i don'to say know what people don't get. we are just fed up. general forians in all the united states. we are sick of the congress and the senate. donald trump is not perfect but none of us are perfect. cast the first stone. what you got to understand is we are fed up with the regular politicians telling us this, telling us that, making us believe that we are going to do better by electing an

they must not have taught spelling at trump university. those are just some of the many typos, if you will, in trump's tirade. and marco rubio spent the day twisting the knife. >> the problem is he is a chocker. and once a chocker, always a chocker. i guess that's what he meant to say. he spelled choker chocker. he called me mr. meltdown. let me tell you something, last night in the debate during one of the breaks, two of the breaks, went backstage and he was having a meltdown. first, he had this little makeup thing applying like makeup around his mustache. he had a sweat mustache. then he asked for a full length mirror. i don't know why. the podium goes up to here. he wanted a full length mirror. maybe to make sure his pants weren't wet. i don't know. then -- then i see him pacing back and forth. he is waving his arms up and down and the person is trying to calm him down. so anyway -- but i'm a chocker. all right. >> of course trum whop not let that schoolyard stuff slide. his next attacks even came with props. >> i saw with rubio, and he

trump really laid out his defense of trump university during this speech here in arkansas. you got to wonder whether many people have even heard about this story but trump went on for several minutes defending this school. here's what he had to say. >> you keep hearing about trump university. so it's a civil case. it's a sleazebag law firm that firm that does the class action cases they're routine and i will win the case in the end. i just didn't want to be forced to settle and i could have settled it before i did this and i knew somebody would try to use it for publicity but i believe i can turn it around to show you how dishonest these people are and that's the case. >> reporter: we should also mention another point during the speech donald trump went off on the judge handling the trump university case, and at one point trump said that the judge should recuse himself because he's been hostile towards trump and he noted that the judge handling the case is "hispanic" which is fine. so for whatever reason donald trump felt it was necessary to note the ethnicity of the judge

>> trump university. it resonatat for so many people who have gotten so little from so much promise. >> i think you're seeing first of all, chris christie and donald trump have one thing in common. bullies. bullies come together. we now have a ticket, by the way, the wall buier and the bridgege closer. but i think when donald trump turns on or abuses ordinary could have a moment a little bit like the kazan film, a face inn the crowds. where a beloved huckster has a a open, hot mike and starts degrading the people that believe in trump. he's a frankenstein. donald trump is the product of a republican party which has played dog whistle races and nativismor decades. >> back to my hometown, in sconsin, they're fed up with all the successes of all the other politicians that have not been successes. they've been failures. they're throwing a hail mary pass, whether for your candidate or donald trump. they're saying they may not like the language he uses. but at least he's speaking out on the issues. confronting

with trump university. students have a lawsuit against we're seeing things with donald trump with no answers. i have seen him talk aut being for universal health care. wanting to do things. he's not giving us the answers for it. he'll make the republican party question who we are and what we're about. that's something we don't want to see happen. >> you heard governor chris tee say he thinks donald trump is the only candidate left in the race that can defeatillary clinton. >> it'sthat's just not true. chris is a dear friend. none of us understands why he did this. i will tell you, donald trump can't beat hillary clinton. his cap is at 35%. his negatives are so high. it's impossible for him to win a general. marco rubios the only one that can defeat donald trump and can beat hillary clintoton. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much, george. >>> now to the democrats after her massive win in south carolina last night, hillary clinton set her sights on the general election. don't need to make america
