the two other pillars are senior games which is like the iowa like myself. i enjoy the senior games. the final pillar is adapted sports iowa which is recreation for people with physical disabilities and we have wheelchair basketball, skiing, soccer, those are the four foundation. you want to go to livehealthy iowa.org. get your team and when those prizes -- you know the basic bargain of america is if you work hard, and you do your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead. but so many families don't feel like their hard work pays off. that's not the way america is supposed to operate. i want to go to bat for them every single day. get incomes rising... cut the cost of health care and child care so people can actually get ahead. hillary clinton, she has what it takes to get things done. metinka: a wintry mix with a light snow by mid afternoon, about an inch of snow but watch out for the roads. here's the truth -- some have proposed to cut social security for the elderly and disabled vets. i disagree. in fact, not only should we not cut benefits -- w

iowa vote match. we'll find out tomorrow. . >> yes what is it about iowa, bob, let's take a walk and discuss so. we're here we're on the east coast and in washington d.c.. and all the talk is about iowa. you could easily get caught up in the mess and not know what we're talking about. >> exactly, i mean where is iowa. can you spot rye eye? on this map? most can't. there it is and that's the thing. that's where the race begins in iowa. in iowa last minute cam paining will start. we'll go through a few last minute people gop and who else the donald. and donald trump addressing crowds besides his own airplane and he's been the front runner for six months. can he win? if they come out, we think he probably will and trump admitted to you in a recent interview you had he wants to win iowa putting heart on his sleeve. >> ted cruz was campaigning obviously last stretch here in iowa. he was campaigning middle school in iowa and cruz has so much writing on iowa he has -- either been top two he van gel calls get out to vote for himen and he had a rocky week because the last debate he shibd. can we win absol

right now, everything looks >> this is iowa's news leader. this is kcci 8 news this morning with eric hanson, elizabeth klinge, meteorologist kurtis gertz and right now coverage with shaina humphries. metinka: good morning. snow is headed our way. tracking off to the south east you'd eventually all of that snow will be moving into central iowa but it is still a couple of hours away. eight degrees now in des moines. a breeze to the southeast at seven miles per hour. the wind chill now three degrees below zero. those kids are going to need to take all of the snow gear. only light snow amounts are expected. one to three inches of very fresh powder. reaching only in the teens. i will let you know how much you can expect at your house coming up. shaina: thanks metinka. we want to show you a video of a fire engulfing the top floor at a hotel. it is now destroyed. no injuries so far. it is where princess diana was monday marked the martin luther king junior holiday and the black lives matter movement staged protests in several big cities across the c

announcer: this is iowa's news leader. this is kcci 8 news at 6:00 with steve karlin, stacey horst, chief meteorologist john mclaughlin, and sports director andy garman. >> we have used about a third. typically, at this time of the year, we would have used twice that, about two thirds. stacey: the snow budget in the city of des moines has not increased or decreased. but how much we have needed to use the money this winter has. more snow is falling on central iowa tonight. mark: but it's a very light snow . it is the type of snow that can save des moines city crews money. kcci's emmy victor is live to explain. emmy: the snow is falling a little bit lighter than when you i am also noticing that it is darker outside and colder. that is the cause of some of those icy patches on the roads. the department of public works is out taking care of the roads, but they have a lot more money to deal with this january than the last one. these snowplows have been sitting pretty idle, which is unusual in the heart of winter. >> we are about

so why is this relevant on the republican side? >> why iowa is relevant? ll, it is going to be incredibly important, trump looks like is going to win but there is a media narrative that is almost more important than who wins and the proof point of that is 2012 because mitt romney was deemed the winner and he had the media narrative and won new hampshire. turned out seven days later they found out that actually by 7 points, 9 votes, rick santorum won. it was as though mitt romney had won the first two and he was the inevitable candidate. >> look, i say that you know, whatever the conventional wisdom, the crucial poll we're seeing tonight which is usually accurate. >> from "the des moines register." >> it doesn't matter until people actually vote. and that's why the ground game matters so much. but it is about iowans taking this responsibility. we're talking about a relatively small number of people in a relatively small state where independents outnumber the two parties. but the folks who show up and do their duty which they take seriously -- >> on that, the

sanders is campaigning here in central iowa tonight. he has a 7:00 p.m. town hall meeting planned at the dmacc campus in ankeny. it is free and open to the public. tomorrow, sanders will be joined by clinton and martin o'malley for the brown and black presidential forum here in des moines, where they will address issues affecting african-americans and latinos, our chief political reporter will be there. follow her on twitter, and look for her reports on kcci news at 10:00. also tomorrow, the iowa legislative session kicks off and education -- kicks off, and education funding will take center stage. governor terry branstad will seek support for his proposal for water quality initiatives. count on kcci on-air and online to keep you covered. world record jackpot. with no winners last night, the wednesday drawing is rising to at least $1.3 billion. lottery officials call it the biggest jackpot in the world. iowa lottery officials tell us the largest jackpots mean big business, toppling two long-standing sales records for tickets sold in iowa. how low will it g

so to answer the question, why is iowa relevant? ry lesson. >> look, it's mostly relevant because it's the first contest and we're all here covering it. the amount of attention winning iowa, coming in second or third is absolutely massive. right? the most important part of it. the number of delegates you get out of iowa is very, very small. right? there are a lot of states we get more delegates, but go first, you're incredibly important. the most important thing is, you don't -- just because you win iowa doesn't mean you're going to win the nomination. iowa, winnows the field. the big thing. you don't come in third you won't be the nominee on either side. >> full-press question. before i go to you, margaret. donald trump is dubuque, iowa. bill clinton, somewhere in this crowd, bill clinton is there stumping obviously for his wife on this trail in iowa falls. an idea how incredibly busy this push is in the last couple of days. go ahead, margaret. >> you asked about the history of the iowa caucuses how it came to be. the 1968 democrati

where do things stand in iowa and what do you look for there? >> what is fascinating in iowa there is a replay in a way a in an argument that happened in 2008 too that hillary clinton is much more of a political realist than domestic people who run for president, barack obama that promised hope and change and promised there was a way too change and trance form the political system, such to be friendly to progressive priorities, he won with that argument, and there was a period of time in the interim when liberals with so disappointed by obama's frustrations with republicans that people thought clinton's argument this is going to be a fight, that democrats needed a fighter, there would be traction along liberals and what sanders is showing this is not true he comes in the argument with a political evolution, a way to mobilize the working class and mobilize the progressive majority and sweep the old ways out of the way in american politics and i think there are things clinton is figuring out how to sell a more realistic but also more depressing vision of ame

but i still think ted cruz is going to win iowa. i told donald this last week, i said ted cruz is going to win iowa because evangelicals, you're going to win new hampshire and south carolina will reset this entire race. and that's interesting to me because i think south carolina is a new state. it's not south carolina, even george w. bush, george mccain 2 thousand. it's a new state with a coastal economy, with a tourism economy, with boeing building these giant jets with a lot of higher education, with a lot of football. it will be the reset of the campaign. it really starts at the first in the south in my view. >> i grew up in north carolina as you know. >> that's right. >> let me just, implicit in what you just said, it seems to me, is that this is now a two-man race. >> it is-- i disn mean to. it is a two-man race for that one lane. cruz an trump are fighting it out for the outside of washington break all the windows, throw a brick through the winnow campaign, i'm mad as hell, i'm not going to take it i heard a ted cruz ad that wa
