john: good evening, i am john yang. on the sunday before the primary, the presidential field has narrowed. ron desantis ended his candidacy and endorsed donald trump. he made the announcement on x. >> it's clear that a majority of republican primary voters want to give trump another chance. trump is superior to joe biden. john: this make the contest a two person race. nikki haley is the only other competitor. lisa desjardins is a new hampshire. what does this do to the race? >> if you ask former president trump, he said he have the votes regardless but for nikki haley, while some of her supporters say it gives her an opportunity to win over some new voters, the truth is they believe most of the santos voters will go with former president trump. however, they want to see any bump they can. i am told the margin will matter. the closer she can get, the longer she has and the longer she has to prove herself. how much does it matter? it's probably a matter of margins. at the end of this, that is the reason the santos is drop

>> it feels a lot colder than 2016, john.>> john: back to the weather again. >> yeah, jeff said in the same interview that, you know, he would expect record turnout for the caucuses except if there's -- if there's below 0 temperatures and ice and that might knock down turnout to merely robust. he's the biggest salesman for the iowa caucuses. i do expect, i mean, this is now -- this was a foot of snow later from his comments and i do think that there will be an impact on turnout. how much remains to be seen, and you know, we are also kind of looking at where people turn out. >> john: yeah, all right. we'll see. apparently the sun is out and the roads are getting clear there. i want to go here to trump vital signs, in our fox news power ranking and what gives trump a good opportunity to make a big impression tonight. each precinct captain has been asked to bring ten never before caucusgoers, and leads the field in small dollar donation, and endorsed by 100 and plus members, and a chance he could go above 50%, historic on the re

we can mostly will be in favor of us or by john. because no peace deal news. and another escalation, agreeing to lay down, arms and signing the peace treaty could take priority now with no compromise on transport connection inside the issue could be postponed. and i'm not sure about that to be reflected in the 3 to maybe the principal, the opening opening or does position next will be there. but the my ballot this and some of the details of the separately. so what about the abundance of the train station in magazine, at least for now it remains neglected. but ultimately opening connections like this one will be necessary to reach a long plastic piece was installed to i'm not supposed to speak about near future, but in long term with the generational change in mind brings into durable abuse because these cannot be happen with you. several months or even several years, but the long term you've regional communications are open. definitely this will mean more interaction between the people on more interaction definitely leads to more understanding of each other. i

this is a survey, john, and this is our mean. yeah. they should have a long history of an extensions. you might have heard of the car of a horse, but now they might finally be able to bury their vending machine. they say they want to sign up the street. but there are still a lot of bias to overcome. just look at this survey, johnson exclaimed that each of us, it has no connection to the country's mainland. and in between is armenia. why is this a big deal? because the 2 states argue over how other, but john could connect to each exclaim, i say must be an easy access from mainland. no, there should be no checks, $9.00 to $5000.00 you to month to month, right. highest. find the about that a bit, jonah, in armenia and as or by john, nobody should open the roads through each other. without the above mentioned, quarter door logic. me mounts how about $50.00 at the check points of those roads. i've done the border and other relevant control services. a goal should also remind you of, i'm a bit of a need, a school concert. i assume that it's

>> yes, thank you, john.nd i absolutely agree with the former vice president, mike pence, that we should be going whole heartedly after iran. hit them where it counts, and that's in the pocket book and then very targeted strikes against leaders as well. and john, i have to stop right now and just express my condolences to the families of those three servicemembers from the 718th engineer company. this actually is a company that i served in in georgia as a young army reservist. i was a platoon leader with that company. these are great men and women and i feel such sorrow for their loss. >> john: we honor them in their sacrifice to this nation. but a lot of people are wondering if it had to come to this. because president biden has been warned again and again and again, you've got to strike back against iran, that's the only way to get them to stop. since the middle of october he's been saying don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, i mean, that's something i say to my golden retriever when he tries to grab a sock o

john?n sarah bedford, washington examiner reporter and the steam boat's institute blankly fellow. you've been following the money with hunter biden. what more could we learn about the money trail, do you think, in these court proceedings? >> in the court proceedings, we're likely to learn quite a bit. you know, the heart of the case is whether hunter biden misrepresented his finances and his sources of income to the irs, particularly in 2018. those felonies around that tax year. so we're likely to learn more about how he was making money and whether he did in fact lie to the irs about his business expenses as prosecutors are alleging. this is a case where the p.r. campaign hunter biden has been on the past several months playing up the more sympathetic, his troubles with addiction could come back to haunt him. to defend against this, his lawyers will have to argue that these were businesses expenses and he wasn't incapable of doing business at the time. >> john: so we have the irs proceedin
