country, to come together. we want to come together, whether it's republican or democrat or liberal or conservative. it would be so nice if we could come together and straighten out the world and straighten out the problems and straighten out all of the death and destruction that we're witnessing. it's practically never been like this. it's just so important. and i want to make that a very big part of our message. we're going to come together. it's going to happen soon too. going to happen soon. [ cheers and applause ] but i go to a lot of courthouses because of biden because they're using that for election interference, and it's on things like election, and i don't know if you know, but they did polls tonight on the election of 2020. do you believe it was honest or not? 82% said -- 82% said it was not, and we can't have that, chairman. we can't have that. you can't have a situation like that. so we're going to straighten out our elections. we're going to do a lot of great things. we're going to try and go to

paper ballots as soon as possible, voter i.d. one day, one day, elections -- you know, we have these elections that last for 62 days, and if you need some more time, take as much time as you want, and so many bad things happen. we have to get rid of mail-in ballots because once you have mail-in ballots, you have crooked elections. actually jimmy carter's commission said that a long time ago. >> there are 40 delegates at stake tonight with the most going to trump. in our cbs news entrance polling, voters say the most important issues are the economy and immigration. cbs's chief election and campaign correspondent robert costa is at the trump rally in des moines, iowa. and so, robert, tonight can anything stop donald trump from becoming the nominee? >> reporter: norah, i've been speaking to trump campaign officials in recent minutes, and they say he is on the path to the nomination. a mood of celebration here in des moines, iowa. but talking to allies of florida governor ron desantis and former trump ambassador nikki haley,

they say this race is far from over. she's focused on building on her momentum in new hampshire coming up this month, and desantis has his eye on nikki haley's home state of south carolina. >> we love you too. they threw everything but the kitchen sink at us. they spent almost $50 million attacking us. no one's faced that much all the way just through iowa. they, the media, was against us. they were writing our obituary months ago. they even called the election before people even got a chance to vote. but they were just so excited about the fact that they were predicting that we wouldn't be able to get our ticket punched here out of iowa. but i can tell you because of your support, in spite of all of that that they threw at us, everyone against us, we've got our ticket punched out of iowa.

[ cheers and applause ] and what i learned by going around iowa is that this country has a basic decency. we've got hardworking people, god-fearing peope, patriotic people. you just don't see it every day because of all the nonsense that gets spewed out there by the media, by social media, all this other stuff. people want to have hope for this country's future, and that's what we represent. we represent a chance to reverse the madness that we've seen in this country, to reverse the decline of this country, and to give this country a new birth of freedom and a restoration of sanity. that's what we are going to do. >> i want to congratulate president trump on his win tonight. we have had an amazing 11 months here in the hawkeye state. [ cheers and applause ]

i came to iowa early and often, and i kept coming back even though the cold weather is brutal. but the kindness of iowans will never be lost on me. you're faithful, patriotic, and hardworking americans, and i will forever be grateful for the time that we had. [ applause ] at one point in this campaign, there were 14 of us running. i was at 2% in the polls. but tonight, iowa did what iowa always does so well. the pundits will analyze the results from every angle. we get that. but when you look at how we're

doing in new hampshire, in south carolina, and beyond -- [ cheers and applause ] -- i can safely say tonight iowa made this republican primary a two-person race. >> reporter: despite the bitter cold, despite his mounting legal challenges, former president trump has been able to keep together his conservative coalition in this conservative state. and he was battling rivals who hve been largely competing for second place, like florida governor ron desantis, who has staked much of his campaign on iowa, trying to knock on nearly a million doors through his super pac and getting the support of the iowa governor. but not enough to beat trump. meanwhile, former trump

ambassador nikki haley, who has real momentum in new hampshire coming up on the primary calendar, she has spent a lot of time in iowa as well, hoping to get a bounce into that granite state primary. many times gop donors tell me they're watching her finish tonight very closely, and they're ready to pour millions behind her candidacy, make her the standard bearer for the non-trump wing of the party. but trump plows ahead in this race. this is the early beginning of the race. but his legal challenges will continue. sources tell cbs news he is scheduled to appear at the e. jean carroll defamation case in new york all while the january 6th case looms in washington and that classified documents case as well among myriad other legal challenges. right now the race is on, but trump in command after iowa. >> all right. this campaign just getting started. robert costa in des moines, iowa, thank you so much. so headline of the night, trump wins the republican caucuses in iowa. and the next contest for the candidates, as robert mentioned,

new hampshire's primary. that is eight days away on january 23rd. and there will be more on the iowa caucuses on your late local news and "cbs mornings." for now, i'm norah o'donnell in washington. sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression feel darkest before dawn. with caplyta, there's a chance to let in the lyte™. caplyta is proven to deliver significant relief across bipolar depression. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta treats both bipolar i and ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts.

presidential hopefuls are already on their way to new hampshire. the granite state will hold its first in the nation primary a week from today. and as the candidates head east, one issue is following them -- immigration. a cbs news poll finds more than 80% of republican primary voters nationwide agree with donald trump's comment that immigrants coming here illegally are, quote, poisoning the blood of the country. tony dokoupil reports. >> i would build a great wall. >> reporter: in the footsteps of donald trump in 2016 -- >> you've got an open border where terrorists can come through. >> reporter: -- every republican candidate is taking a harsh approach to the border in 2024. >> they all have to go back. we have to enforce the rule of law in this country. >> reporter: and that's a worry for people like sonia morse yea go, who arrived here from honduras on foot more than 30 years ago. >> i came here to this beautiful country because we have a lot of opportunities if we have one

purpose, to come to work. so i came in 1990 illegal. >> reporter: after shoveling snow to open the liquor store she owns in marshalltown, iowa, she told us today's politicians just don't understand people like her. >> i didn't stop working since i get to this country. i work very hard every day. >> reporter: but republican voters sure seem to have made up their minds. nearly 3 out of 4 hope to see immigration numbers decline with most believing that newcomers are making crime, drugs, the economy, and even the country's social and moral values worse. >> i want a culture that's still our culture. >> reporter: ja nita boyd is one of those republicans in marshalltown. >> people don't want to move here. they call us little mexico. >> reporter: since 1990, the hispanic population here as jumped from less than 1% of the town to more than a third, with many finding work at a

meatpacking plant that anchors the local economy. >> what's so different about the people coming over now compared to the many waves and generations of americans who have come over before in one way or another? >> i think it's the numbers. you know, there's just so many, and it's hard to assimilate that many people. >> reporter: that's a fear we heard about often here in iowa, first on a farm. >> a lot of these people and, you know, right or wrong, but are bringing their own culture with them, and they're -- they're not interested in becoming american. >> reporter: and then on a sunday after church -- >> i mean we can't provide ourselves, how can we provide for them. >> reporter: most of them are young men. god know what's they're going to do. i fear that the most. >> reporter: but maybe the most emotional border issue of all is drugs. in the cedar rapids suburb of lisbon, hans arwine delivered

the worst news to his wife laurie two years ago. >> he said bailey is gone, and those words continue to this day to haunt me. >> reporter: their 22-year-old son had died after taking what he believed to be xanax, she says, but was actually a fatal dose of fentanyl. >> i was angry actually and knowing what's coming across the border and looking in p that direction, i had a general idea where it came from to begin with. >> reporter: while far more fentanyl is seized at legal ports of entry than illegal crossings and the vast majority is struggled by american citizens according to customs and border protection, the candidates are promising to use the u.s. military to take out mexico's cartels. >> i'll be smoking the terrorists on our southern border. >> reporter: something the arwines fully support. >> until it hits your home and you lose someone, you lose a

child, it's a piece of your heart. >> reporter: sonia mars yeago agrees with the need for more protection on the border, but she hopes people will appreciate the potential there too. now an american citizen herself, her daughter and grandson are in the u.s. army. >> we're at a moment where many people are saying the border needs to be shut and we can't handle any more immigrants like yourself. what do you think when you hear that? >> it's very sad. it's very sad because everybody needs help, right? everybody needs opportunities. everybody needs opportunities. >> that was tony [sfx: game controller] when occasional heartburn won't let you sleep.

inside the appliance. if you want a beer with your barbecue, the i, gulu lets you brew at home. the machine comes with a pre-mixed recipe that can craft a fresh batch of beer in about ten days. and for dessert, how about soft serve ice cream? the cold snap works like a keurig. add a pod with your preferred flavor, and out comes a sweet treat in minutes. danya bacchus, cbs news, los angeles. and that's the overnight news for this tuesday. reporting from the nation's capital, i'm erica brown. this is "cbs news flash." i'm carissa lawson in new york. cbs news projects former president donald trump wins the iowa republican caucuses, capturing the first state in the race for the 2024 republican presidential nomination. he carried more than half of caucus-goers in what is the biggest winning margin in iowa

we want to come together, whether it's republican or democrat or liberal or conservative. it would be so nice if we could come together and straighten out the world and straighten out the problems and straighten out all of the death and destruction that we're witnessing. it's practically never been like this. it's just so important. and i want to make that a very big part of our message. we're going to come together. it's going to happen soon too. going to happen soon. [ cheers and applause ] but i go to a lot of courthouses because of biden because they're using that for election interference, and it's on things like election, and i don't know if you know, but they did polls tonight on the election of 2020. do you believe it was honest or not? 82% said -- 82% said it was not, and we can't have that, chairman. we can't have that. you can't have a situation like that. so we're going to straighten out our elections. we're going to do a lot of great things.

we're going to try and go to paper ballots as soon as possible, voter i.d. one day, one day elections. you know, we have these elections that last for 62 days, and if you need some more time, take as much time as you want, and so many bad things happen. we have to get rid of mail-in ballots because once you have mail-in ballots, you have crooked elections. actually jimmy carter's commission said that a long time ago. >> there are 40 delegates at stake tonight with the most going to trump. in our cbs news entrance polling, voters say the most important issues are the economy and immigration. cbs's chief election and campaign correspondent robert costa is at the trump rally in des moines, iowa. and so, robert, tonight can anything stop donald trump from becoming the nominee? >> reporter: norah, i've been speaking to trump campaign officials in recent minutes, and they say he is on the path to the nomination. a mood of celebration here in des moines, iowa. but talking to allies of florida governor ron desantis and former trump ambassador nikki haley, they say this race is far from

over. she's focused on building on her momentum in new hampshire coming up this month, and desantis has his eye on nikki haley's home state of south carolina. >> we love you too. they threw everything but the kitchen sink at us. they spent almost $50 million attacking us. no one's faced that much all the way just through iowa. they, the media, was against us. they were writing our obituary months ago. they even called the election before people even got a chance to vote. but they were just so excited about the fact that they were predicting that we wouldn't be able to get our ticket punched here out of iowa. but i can tell you because of your support, in spite of all of that that they threw at us, everyone against us, we've got our ticket punched out of iowa.

[ cheers and applause ] and what i learned by going around iowa is that this country has a basic decency. we've got hardworking people, god-fearing people, patriotic people. you just don't see it every day because of all the nonsense that gets spewed out there by the media, by social media, all this other stuff. people want to have hope for this country's future, and that's what we represent. we represent a chance to reverse the madness that we've seen in this country, to reverse the decline of this country, and to give this country a new birth of freedom and a restoration of sanity. that's what we are going to do. >> i want to congratulate president trump on his win tonight. we have had an amazing 11 months here in the hawkeye state. [ cheers and applause ]

i came to iowa early and often, and i kept coming back even though the cold weather is brutal. but the kindness of iowans will never be lost on me. you're faithful, patriotic, and hardworking americans, and i will forever be grateful for the time that we had. [ applause ] at one point in this campaign, there were 14 of us running. i was at 2% in the polls. but tonight, iowa did what iowa always does so well. the pundits will analyze the results from every angle. we get that. but when you look at how we're

doing in new hampshire, in south carolina, and beyond -- [ cheers and applause ] -- i can safely say tonight iowa made this republican primary a two-person race. >> reporter: despite the bitter cold, despite his mounting legal challenges, former president trump has been able to keep together his conservative coalition in this conservative state. and he was battling rivals who have been largely competing for second place, like florida governor ron desantis, who has staked much of his campaign on iowa, trying to knock on nearly a million doors through his super pac and getting the support of the iowa governor. but not enough to beat trump. meanwhile, former trump

ambassador nikki haley, who has real momentum in new hampshire coming up on the primary calendar, she has spent a lot of time in iowa as well, hoping to get a bounce here into that granite state primary. many top gop donors tell me they're watching her finish tonight very closely, and they're ready to pour millions behind her candidacy, make her the standard bearer for the non-trump wing of the party. but trump plows ahead in this race. this is the early beginning of the race. but his legal challenges will continue. sources tell cbs news he is scheduled to appear at the e. jean carroll defamation case in new york all while the january 6th case looms in washington and that classified documents case as well among myriad other legal challenges. right now the race is on, but trump in command after iowa. >> all right. this campaign just getting started. robert costa in des moines, iowa, thank you so much. so headline of the night, trump wins the republican caucuses in iowa. and the next contest for the candidates, as robert mentioned,

new hampshire's primary. that is eight days away on january 23rd. and there will be more on the iowa caucuses on your late local news and "cbs mornings." for now, i'm norah o'donnell in washington.

good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. an arctic chill is gripping much of the country in places where it just snowed like omar was showing us in memphis. here we go. we've got dangerously cold windchills overnight tonight, tomorrow morning, all the way down to the gulf coast. single digits or below zero. snow now exits through the northeast. should be gone by tomorrow evening but not before bringing our first one inch snow to washington, d.c. in two years. all that snow gone by tomorrow evening. a large area of one to three inches is on the way. to the west we go. it's all about ice here. ice storm warnings in effect, portland and salem. about half inch of ice is on the way especially through the second half of the day tomorrow. that means very dangerous travel as well as a likelihood of power outages. that system likely to combine with another one late in the week. it aims at the ohio valley and the northeast, brings a good shot of snow as we head into the weekend. >> mike bettes, thank you. tonight an urgent search is under way for two u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s who are missing. they were trying to board a boat suspected of smuggling weapons

100 miles off the coast of yemen in the gulf of aden. the company said the vessel suffered limited damage to the cargo hold but that it was stable and heading out to sea with no injuries reported. the attack follows that massive u.s./uk bombing campaign to deter assaults exactly like this. the houthis retaliated by launching an anti-ship cruise missile toward the "uss laboon" destroyer in the red sea. before it was shot down by a fighter jet according to u.s. military officials. houthis say they're targeting commercial ships in solidarity with palestinians as the conflict in gaza reached 100 days, where hamas released undated video showing three hostages speaking under duress, including noa argamani. the 26-year-old captured on video being taken away from the music concert on the morning of the october 7th massacre.

what happened here. >> what is your message to governor abbott? >> you cannot do this. this type of standoff is not helpful. >> reporter: the texas military department says two of the migrants had already drowned by the time border patrol asked to enter the area. governor greg abbott says he has the legal authority to control areas of the southern border within state boundaries. >> that authority is being asserted with regard to that park in eagle pass, texas, to maintain operational control of it. >> reporter: texas blames the biden administration for not doing enough. it has also installed controversial razor wire and changed the law to allow state police officers to apprehend migrants. texas has until wednesday to comply with the cease and desist letter to stop blocking access to the border. if it fails, dhs says it will refer the matter to the department of justice to take appropriate action. norah. >> weijia jiang at the white
