. the already large presidential field has a big name added to it this week. igrmer congressman beto o'rouke kicked off his cam in iowa and nbc's political director chuck todd wasay there yeste

and caught up with him. we know iowa is a very important state. what did y hear? well, look, beto o'rouke and amy klobucharoday and in many ways they are emblematic of the candidates that traditionally have done well in iowa, two different theories of the case. beto's theory is the -- the nice guy approa-, the let's the optimistic, we can be better. we d co this. i like -- we've got to heal the wounds here that worked for observe ma. that worked for mike huckabee in 2008. he was the most optimistic ones. iowans graph t.e to th they are an update people and they like the bread-and-butter folks and amy klobuchar is a midwesterner, so they are familiar with her hand she sounds a lot like iowa politicians that talk about bred and butter issues. that sometimes gets reward, too, in/warnings but you do hear that, but the biggest thing i would say that i took away from talking to iowa voters is joe biden needs to be prepared for a long year, and i i s this way. look, he's going to come in on

day one and be the polling front-runner. but all these voters are -- they want -- they are interested in new first. they may end u inbiden, okay. they know electionability matters to them b they know what you're going to get with him. the's a bunch of new cars over here and he has to hope that the w cars don't start well or will be too much to fix or cost too much money but he's got to fear that voters and iowans like to d this, hope that they don't fall in love with somebody else or another car f and can we withstand the six months of that. can he still be the candidaf the most reliable car at the end of it i don't know >> which car will hold up against president trump. >> that's another -- that's exactly right because he's going to turn it into a demolition derby, that we know. >> let's talk about t

president. >> i reallyat beat fmetaphor death. >> he street oh,s the emergency order. wher does that putim around republicans in. >> number 12, oh, wow, that's a big rebuke and i'm saying not if you actually know who these senators are. 12 is a smallebe. rhetorically, 40-plus republicans should have supported this if you look back at what they about executive power during barack obama. i think this shows you the party is still uncomfortable with what donald trump's definition ofer cotive is. it was only one up in 2020. all the other senators up in 2020 who are running with them i may not agree with this including onead who basically flip-flopped on doing that. >> right. >> i think that shows you how ch power politically he has and how at the same time h uncomfortable intellectually the old party is the with trump.

>> seems like an unprecedented move for congress to veto an executive order from the congress. >> the question is whate oes the suprurt do? do they get involved or do they say, you know, what congress had itsshance. this dispute between you two. good luck. >> all right. never a dul moment. a big show. >> panel is excellent. we've a got interesting discussion about white supracy. >> you can catch chuck at 10:30 right after "news 4 tay." >> hi, lauryn. >> hey, guys. >> happy st. patrick's day. >> happy st. patrick's day. >> we've got a great -- >> everybody is over here where is my green? >> i've got a green screen, i can't d>>it. wouldn't that be hilarious. just be the head and the hands. >> that's why meagan should go over there.oo that's television. >> jackie, that's good

television. trust me. >> somebody buy me a green dress because i don't have one. chuck, you headed out today? going to be nice. >> then i will. >> all right. there you go. you're allowed to. all right. guys. hey, listen. it's going to be a beautiful day. outsidt right now is w you're going to get all day. a light wind out there. so we're not win out there today. however, we do have some rain and snow during the overnight, believe it or not. uet going to amount to much. no i tomorrow morning so it's not a big deal so there is a big deal when youee a few flakes flying around. more snow and rain. spotty showers maybe thursday and then next monday and tuesday, next, next monday and tuesday and maybe a little rain. otheeise temperatures in 30s and 40s. we are headed into the low 50s for daytime highs. lien, i want t talk about this system that was getting going through the middle par u f thted states. look at the photos from it.

cows were completely covered in snow, nebrask oklahoma, back through the dakotas, colorado, 52 inches in colorado we had with this massive storm system xt week and now they will get flooding through the middle part of the united states. it's devastating out that way. we don't have a lot of weather around here to talk aut except for this little system coming our way during the overnight. that's going to bring lig snow showers for that morning commute, but the ground is going to be more wet than all of this will taper off during the early part of the afternoon, and we're looking a lot better a we go through tomorrow, late afternoon, and through this week. look at that. temperatures are grattially going to go up. tomorrow morning not a big deal. next go the chance of rain is next
