4:10 am
the wealthy with assets above $1 billion. >> it's all fully paid for by asking the top 1% and giant corporations to pay a fair share. >> reporter: on stage last night someone warn opponents dismissed her -- some of warren's opponents dismissed her plans. >> for 3% for the cost of medicare for all we could cut childhood poverty by 40%. that sounds like a big idea to me. >> build on the affordable care act, not abandon it. that's why -- [ cheers ] -- we have to provide a public option. that's why, that's why we have to make sure everyone has access. >> everyone seems to be driving hard. but the question is, how much. a political gamble is elizabeth warren's medicare for.u ow, you for example, that pole that came out yesterday to suggest that there are more iowans who would rather live in a country where a

government-backed plan is an option than mandatory. that if they wanted to keep their private health care, they'd be able to do so. that's, you know, a debate that continues among democrats. now that she has this payment plan out there, it will get picked apart by voters, especially in this state. you know, for one brach tickal reason, think -- practical reason, think of this, des moines, many of the buildings are packed during the week with thousands of people who work for insurance companies. and there are questions about what would happen to them, for example, if private insurance went away and the government was this charge. that's a question we'll have to continue answering. >> des moines and hartford, big insurance cities. let's go to areas. news that she's -- to kamala harris. news that she's scaling back in new hampshire. >> she is parting ways with most of her campaign staff in new hampshire and moving essentially her entire operation here to the antibiotic eye state.th -- hawkeye state. her campaign last month vowed to finish in the top three in this state.
4:12 am
if that's the case, she's got an uphill climb. right now she's trailing badly behind bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, joe biden, and pete buttigieg. >> so much of the talk inredate saying on the campaign trail? >> reporter: well, you know, they obviously -- if you talk to democrats -- are pleased to see it happening, say it should run its course. even if the senate holds a trial and ultimately decides not to remove the president. we spoke with voters who said it will not have been a waste of time. it will have been an exercise of the constitution and something that should play out. but it's going to be a potential practical concern for the six senators who are running for president who would have to sit through that impeachment trial and stay off the trail for a few days. >> ed, you look comfortable and in control in des moines. we know it's freezing. go get some hot coffee. ed o'keefe, thank you so much. >> reporter: will do. now with to the fires in california. the kincade fire burning north contained.

welcome back to "cbs this morning saturday." boston is a mecca of higher education, home to idyllic campuses, elite universities like harvard and mit. it is also where city and community leaders are engaged in a bold experiment to use higher education to transform the city's most dangerous neighborhoods. less than 2% of the city's youth are involved in gangs. but they are responsible for nearly three quarters of the shootings on just 5% of the city's street corners. boston uncornered pays gang members $400 a week to drop the guns and enroll in school. supporters say it costs less than the ongoing cycle of enforcement, recidivism, and is also an investment in the community. 33-year-old antonio franklin is studying sociology at boston's bunker hill community college. how hard has school been for you
