He Said, She Said, They said: Planned Parenthood, birthright citizenship, tax cuts, bankruptcy, national defense, Iran nukes, the $20 bill, making billions, Vladimir Putin ….

Eleven Republican candidates duked it out over the issues and personalities last night at the Ronald Reagan Library in California. The man to beat was Donald Trump, so the other candidates beat on him. Scott Walker: “Mr. Trump, we don’t need an apprentice in the White House.” Rand Paul: I think really there’s a sophomoric quality that is entertaining about Mr. Trump.”

Carly Fiorina and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie got loud to get noticed. Christie to Trump and Fiorina: “We don’t want to hear about your careers. You’re both successful, congratulations.” Fiorina to Trump on his insult about her looks: “I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said.” Ooh, chilly.

Trump to Fiorina: “She can’t run any of my companies.”

At this point it’s all about numbers and money. Donald Trump is self-financed, but the other candidates need higher poll numbers to show themselves as “serious” candidates who can raise money for their campaigns. Fiorina will be looking to see if she can get a bump out of her performance.

Reprieve: Richard Glossip, whose case went all the way to the Supreme Court when he challenged Oklahoma’s method of execution, won a reprieve just hours before he was to be executed last night, this time on the grounds of potential innocence.

Glossip was convicted of paying a co-worker to kill their boss in 1998, but now there’s some question whether Glossip was involved at all. Glossip was scheduled for execution after he lost an appeal to the Supreme Court in which he and two other inmates had claimed that Oklahoma’s use of a certain chemical in lethal injection amounted to cruel and unusual punishment.

World: An 8.3 magnitude earthquake – that’s a big one – struck in central Chile last night rattling and swaying buildings in Santiago and setting off tsunami alarms in the port city of Valparaiso. Some deaths have been reported. Authorities ordered the evacuation of 2,400 miles of Chile’s Pacific Shore … a million people … and tsunami warnings reached all the way to Southern California, Hawaii, and New Zealand.

Health and Poverty: About 8.8 million Americans who previously didn’t have it got health insurance last year, according to the Census Bureau. The Census says the number of uninsured dropped from 13.3 to 10.4 percent of the population. Most of the change is attributed to Obamacare. But about 33 million people still have no healthcare.

In its annual survey of healthcare and poverty, the Census Bureau says the poverty rate remains unchanged at 46.7 million people.

The Comedy Lobby: Former “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart was in Washington yesterday to help 9/11 responders lobby for the renewal of the law that helped pay for their medical problems. Stewart warned them to expect “toxic levels of bullshit.”

He said, ” I’m embarrassed that you, after serving so selflessly, with such heroism, have to come down here and convince people to do what’s right for the illnesses and difficulties that you suffered because of your heroism and because of your selflessness.” He went on, “Nobody had to lobby you to rush to those towers on that day.”

Time Warp: An Irving, Texas high school freshman is on his way to the White House next month to show president Obama a homemade clock that his teachers and the local cops thought was a fake bomb. “Cool clock, Ahmed,” Obama tweeted. “Want to bring it to the White House?”

Ahmed Mohamed, 14, who wants to become an engineer, had made a digital clock out of pencil box. But when he showed it to his teacher she called the cops, who put the kid in handcuffs. He’s been suspended all week.

The Irving Police spokesman said, “We attempted to question the juvenile about what it was and he would simply only tell us that it was a clock.”

That’s because it was a clock.
