iowa tends to shake things up, especially for the democrats. let's look at the history. again, 99 days until the 99 counties of iowa start to vote.rats, al gore, john kerry, barack obama, hillary clinton, what do they have in common? they won contested iowa caucuses and they went on to beat the nominee. iowa tends to pick the winner for the democrats. for the democrats, it has mattered. we'll see if it does in 2020. let's look at a little bit of what's happening in the state of iowa. these are the top candidates qualified for the next debate, and their staffing levels in iowa. you see there 100 plus for these five candidates right here fighting it out on the ground in iowa. tv ad spending, this is money spent so far and booked so far through the february caucuses, tom steyer has the most money spent there. you see vice president biden, warren, buttigieg and sanders in tv spending so far. the polls have been closer. joe biden started the race as a clear front-runner, now he's in the top pack. he says, sure, i think i can win iowa, but if i don't, there are other places to go. >> i plan to win in iowa. i'm working like hell to win

ohio, michigan, wisconsin and iowa either have no major metropolitan states, iowa, none of iowa's 99 counties is in 1 million plus metro area or those major metropolitan areas are a lower percentage of the state total. consequently that proved to be fertile ground for donald trump and treacherous ground for hillary clinton. >> host: the book is titled how america's political parties change and how they don't and our guest is michael barone who has been on this network many years. joe is joining us from new orleans. good morning. >> caller: good morning. tagging on to what you were just discussing about the voters in areas with the electoral college, i feel that president obama described that area of the country aptly as saying they cling to their bibles and their guns and that has proven to be good. i also think tagging on again to things republican members of the republican party, economic status is changed to lower income people and donald trump, i think, played up to their fear of losing white privilege. >> guest: the way i see it it is fear not so much of losing white privilege, we don't

you're in one of 31 iowa counties that flipped from blue to red in 2016. how are the they making their pitch? >> reporter: we're here in jasper county. this is a county, as you mentioned, that flipped. it went with president obama in 2008 and 2012 and president trump in 2016. so these are the kind of voters that democrats want to bring back into their fold. and bernie sanders will be here later today at the maytag plant speaking on the floor. and it's now -- maytag has closed, but new industry has come in. they're working on wind turbines. so he's going to be making a pitch for the green new deal. people are following what's going on with this primary. they have a list of top candidates. it's still moving and still somewhat fluid. they have their list of candidates. but what they want to hear are the substance and the policies from these candidates. i spoke to one republican who says he still plans to support president trump, but is still listening to what these democratic voters have to say, but doesn't think what they're saying -- he says there's a lot o

we went on a major bus trip in iowa and before that, every county in new hampshire. g up more and more endorsements. i have the most endorsements of any of the candidates, for elected and former electeds in the state of iowa. and since then, from regular people, just going into our website at amyklobuchar.com, we have now raised $2 million since the debate. >> since the debate? >> yes. >> okay. so in terms of your strategy here, you have not been up there with biden and warren and sanders as a top-tier candidate, but you have been been steady and as i've talked to you about this before, you have said, basically, you're on track that this is the way that you had planned to do. it's sort of slow and steady wins the race. >> yes. >> can you put some detail on that and explain to me how this works? >> yes. i knew i wasn't the one that was going to start out with all of the name identification. and i also knew that i would slowly but surely gain. that's what we're doing. part of this is that i believe in politics the way i think you should do it. which is, meeting people,

county jail on arson charges. >>> some presidential politics. senator kamala harris is all in on iowa. this move as reports say the harris campaign is running low on money. it'll deploy staff from her california, nevada and new hampshire offices to iowa in the final 100 days to the caucus. >> commuters had to share a lane with a man riding a scooter in eastbound on the bay bridge tonight. you can see in this cellphone video a driver changes lanes to get around a van with a trailer only to find a scooter rider ahead of the van. this happened during rush hour around 5:45. most electric scooter's top speeds are about 15 miles per hour. this rider as you see was not wearing a helmet. >> and at rush hour, too. okay let's turn our attention to the weather forecast. glad to say the wind has really died down on the fire line. >> yes, meteorologist sandhya patel is here. >> we're going to trade the winds for freezing cold conditions. it's going to be freezing inland in the north bay with areas of frost. don't forget to bring your pets inside, protect any frost sensitive plants and cover those p

from humboldt county all the way to hamburg, iowa, at my town hall meetings or during a visit to small business or manufacturing plants and everywhere in between, i have been hearing one thing consistently and across the board. iowans want the usmca now. these hardworking folks know the impacts the usmca will have on iowa's economy and the u.s. economy as a whole. there is no reason iowans should be waiting in limbo for this agreement to be ratified. mr. president, this trade agreement is a win for the american people, plain and simple. mexico has already ratified the deal, and canada is well on their way. our trade partners are ready. the united states-mexico-canada agreement is about modernizing a trade deal with two of our closest allies that will grow more than 175,000 jobs across this country. nafta was ratified in 1994. 1994. that is three years before wi-fi became available to the public, five years before u.s.b. drives were invented, 12 years before the launch of facebook and twitter, and 16 years before computer tablets were on sale. none of us are living with 1994 technolog

none of iowa's 99 counties is in a million plus metro area or those metropolitan areas are a lower percentagef the state total. consequently, that proved to be fertile ground for donald trump and treacherous ground for hillary clinton. host: the book is titled how america's political parties changed and how they don't. our guest is michael barone. a friend of this network. joe is joining us from new orleans, democrats line. caller: good morning. tagging on to what you were just discussing about the voters in the areas with the electoral president feel that obama described that area of the as saying they cling to their bibles and their guns. that has proven to be true. tagging on again to , membersat republicans of the republican party now, their economic status has changed to lower income people and donald trump played to their privilege.ing white the way i see it, it is fear not so much of losing white privilege, we don't have racial segregation mandated by law anymore in this country and haven't for more than 50 years, jobs in somelosing cases. there has been some serious economics studies

is compare what are the top issues i'm hearing in all of these other counties, you know, from corner to corner here in the state of iowa. top two issues are trade and the economy. i kind of lump those together because they go hand in hand and health care. those are the top two issues i get at most of our town halls, and those are consistent regardless of where i am in the state of iowa. again, thanks so much for taking the time to come out and be with me today the. i really do appreciate your input and your voices. thank you. have a good afternoon. [applause] [inaudible conversations] >> we are going to take you to afternoon session of a day-long conference on immigration law and migrant policy. starting live at 2 p.m. eastern. but first, a look at this morning's session after the acting homeland security director was shouted down by reporters. >> today you'll hear, again, hear voices from across the spectrum and from different vantage points. up doubtedly, you won't agree with all of them. but at the time when immigration has become so polarized, we firmly believe it is important to hear directly from stakeholders on

and i'm the one that has been here in iowa and before that new hampshire. did ten countiesute i got off the debate stage in two days and now are doing 12 going all over this state and we've had incredible, incredible momentum with big crowds, people showing up at tiny townsme. in guthrie county, last night, we had the biggest crowd ever since harry truman according to the party chair. so there is excitement out there. and i think it is because i was able to make the case for a lot of people who are tired of the noise and nonsense telling them they've got a home with me of someone that can actually get things done and has their back. >> so let me ask you, you joined mayor pete buttigieg who i just talked to in criticizing senator warren on the debate stage for in your view and his view not being fully honest about how she intends to pay for medicare for all and the senator's campaign said she's, quote, reviewing the revenue options suggested by the 2016 bernie campaign with other revenue options, unquote. is that good enough for you? >> no, it is not. i've made clear how i'm

like to do is compare, what are the top issues i am hearing in these other counties from corner to corner here in the state of iowatop two issues are trade and the economy. i lump those together because they go hand in hand, and health care. those are the top two issues i get at most of our town halls. those are consistent regardless of where i am in the state of iowa. thanks so much for taking the time to come out and be with me today. i really do appreciate your input and your voices. thank you. have a good afternoon.

of the candidates in iowa, elizabeth warren is taking questions from voters at a town hall that just so happens to be in warren countyas faced intense criticism from her 2020 competitors over how she plans to pay for medicare for all. cnn's senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is at the town hall. jeff, what is the message today? >> reporter: hey, fredricka, good afternoon. so far senator elizabeth warren has not addressed all of these questions that are surrounding her candidacy about how she would pay for her proposal for medicare for all. of course, that was the topic front and center at the debate last week. she was really taking a lot of incoming from amy klobuchar, from pete buttigieg, from others on the stage. we're about an hour into this town hall so far. she has not addressed it one time. but if a voter asked her about how she would pay for the plan, we're asking to see how she would answer it, because we do know her campaign aides have been saying her campaign is going to look into a variety of proposals for how to pay for that plan. so she could be coming out with some ideas for how to pay for the

iowa. in just a few minutes, senator elizabeth warren will host a town hall outside des moines in the appropriate named warren countyontinues to face intense criticism over how she will pay for her medicare for all plan. this morning her democratic rivals kept piling on. >> we need to see how this is going to be paid for, because right now, whether you copy-paste the bernie sanders math or do it some other way, there is a hole mounting to trillions of dollars in how this is supposed to work. and i'm not having these problems describing how it's going to be paid e to show how you're going to pay for things, and that was the point. i don't think any oneopy on good ideas, and that seems to be what she said through these debates. >> both those candidates raising a million dollars after their performances on the debate stage last week. we have a team following all the latest on the campaign trail. cnn senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is at senator warren's iowa town hall, and senior editor earl sines. elizabeth warren talking about medicare for all, but how is she saying she will pay for it? >> elizabeth warre

county, pennsylvania. >> thank you for that. >>> while the house was formalizing its resolution on the trump impeachment investigation today, democrats candidates swarming in other swing states. iowad cnn's political director there and david chalian, migel's piece was fastcinatefascinating. curious where you are. what are you hearing from voters in places like iowa when it comes to trump and impeachment? >> a good question, brooke. last night i attended a house party that kamala harris was having in newton, iowa. by far her biggest applause line in the living room of this house, the stuff that excited democrats the most, when she said the lines ar getting rid of donald trump. saying, thank you, and good-bye to him. gets the biggest applause. that's the democratic faithful as you saw in miguel's people there in pennsylvania. it's important to remember looking into sort of the politics of impeachment is when you look at those national polls, brooke, that show you a majority may want to impeach and remove donald trump from office when you look across some of the critical battleground states, those numbers are reversed. the majority do not want to impeach and remove donald trump from

counties in west virginia. in the last month he has been number one in nevada. tied or nearly tied in iowa. the last poll in september he was number one in new hampshire. bernie is at. he has raised more money from anyone else, from contributions. bernie -- when you say bernie cannot win, you are lying to the american people. not only can he win, bernie will win. bernie will win. [chanting "bernie will win."] and finally, people say he can't win because, you know, bernie is a socialist. that is not going to fly. that on tv, they should always say the american people have wanted socialism for the last 70 years. the american people love their social security. the american people love having a free public school. the american people love medicare and medicaid. the american people love their fire department. these are all socialist programs. what they don't really want to do is tell you the truth. they don't to tell you the truth. if we structured our economic policies differently, if we structured them as a democracy instead of a feudal system is not thetalism, it capitalism of your great-gran

iowa and beyond. >> well, i'm starting today, we are going to visit every single county in new hampshire in a day andt, we're headed to iowa for a lengthy bus tour. and i want to bring it to the people. that is what i have always done and that is how i have won every single time i've run a big race, i've been outmatched with money, but not outmatched with votes. and so, that's the first thing i'll do. i think the second is to just continue to bring my message that we can win with bold ideas and there's not just one set of bold ideas. there are others out there, and i just think they have not been given enough bandwidth, not enough discussion on tv, and people out there that i've talked to kind of say, you know, that sounds better to me, that fits where i am. i took some survey, and i didn't know you, but you match my views. so, i have to reach out to those people and make my case. >> all right. senator amy cloeb haklobuchar o minnesota, thanks for your time. we appreciate it. >> great to be on. thanks a lot. >> okay, and we've got whiplash this morning over whether or not vice president pence will me

counties in west virginia! are we out today with bernie? month, hein the last has been number one in nevada. is merely tied in iowa -- n early tied in iowa. in september, he was number one in new hampshire. that is where bernie is at. more than anybody else. when you say bernie cannot win, you are lying to the american people. win, bernie will win! [crowd chanting "bernie will win"] mr. moore: and finally, people said he cannot win because, bernie is a socialist! [crowd cheering] when they say that on tv, they should always say that the american people have loved socialism for the last seven years. the american people love their social security. the american people love having a free public school. the american people love medicare and medicaid. the american people love their fire department. .hese are all social what they don't really want to do is tell you the truth. they don't want to tell you the truth. if we structured our economic policies differently, if we structured them with democracy instead of a feudal system called capitalism, and if not for -- it is not the capitalism of your great grandparents. it is a new form of greed and
