i often say that nebraska is what america is supposed to be. when i was governor of the state of nebraska, we spent eight years delivering excellence and making government work for the people. we proved the government can work better and put taxpayers first. and we did it while respecting individual freedoms and limiting our spending, running government well, and keeping people safe. those were the things that i'm working on in the united states senate. this year my team and i got to work for the people of nebraska by fighting against the biden administration's overspending and overregulation. it is driving inflation and it's costing americans money. since joe biden has been sworn in as president, inflation broadly is up 17.2%. groceries are up 20%, rent is up 19%, electricity is up 24%, gas is up 34%, and your average american home is spending $11,434 more today to have the same standard of living as they did when joe biden was sworn in as president. americans are hurt by joe biden's policies. we made government work better in nebraska, and i

i've lived in nebraska for a long time. i had to change a tire at 45 below and nearly lost my fingers. here's what the service just put out. this will be in effect midnight through tuesday. travel will be restricted to emergencies only. if you must travel have a winter survival kit with you. if you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. so that's where the weather service is on this. right now wind chill in des moines is 11 degrees below zero. it is still snowing. there's a blizzard out there. parts of interstate 80 are shutdown at this point. there are so many accidents out there right now. people are not getting across these east, west roads. most of the roads in nebraska, illinois, indiana they ghost east, southwest. those east, west roads are getting blown shut by the wind and the drifts. so just because a plow goes by, in 15 minutes that drift can drift that road shut again. so 9 degrees below zero, but you're standing in line to get into the caucus. that's the air temperature. now, you add in the wind and all of a sudd

think about iowa and nebraska, and the corn belt, most of the roads go north south east and west. anywhere that isn't east-west road with a cold north wind, the snow could blow some of those roads shut. there's going to be another half a foot to a foot of snow across iowa over the weekend. a lot of times, it won't blow around a couple of days later but really, right now, we are already in the single digits and this will be the warmest day for a while. this is going to affect turnout, without a doubt. how much, we just don't know. >> 35 zero, i don't think i felt 35 below zero and i don't think many i people have, either. thanks for joining inside politics. cnn news central starts after this break. not just any whiteboard... ...katie porter's whiteboard is one way she's: [news anchor] ...often seen grilling top executives of banks, big pharma, even top administration officials. katie porter. never taken corporate pac money - never will. leading the fight to ban congressional stock trading. and the only democrat who opposed wasteful “earmarks” that fund politicians' pet projects. ka

what's the logic to that considering nebraska comes before south carolina?na? running for president is _ before south carolina? running for president is a _ before south carolina? running for president is a big _ before south carolina? running for president is a big job - before south carolina? running for president is a big job and i for president is a big job and you have to go to a lot of states. this event in south carolina has been scheduled for sometime, has 7a legislative endorsements for nikki haley, her home state only has iii. so south carolina is really excited for ron desantis. so he wants to make sure everything is good before he goes to new hampshire. they'll be doing a lot ofjuggling, all the campaigns will startjuggling. campaigns will start juggling. i won't campaigns will startjuggling. i won't weigh into much about the strategy — he's not going home, he's staying on the campaign trail.— campaign trail. now your endorsement _ campaign trail. now your endorsement and - campaign trail. now your endorsement and the - campaign trail. now your|

you'd come from from nebraska, iowa, you'd say this is so beautiful. so safe. so nice. now you come in and have a good chance of being shot. they had thee people killed last week too. so you know, it's just -- the crime is -- has got to be -- you have to have strong, if you have procedures on law enforcement and they don't have them. and i know a lot of the police in d.c. got to know them. they're great. but they're not allowed to do their job. you have to let them do their job. it's a crime fest right now. and we can't have that. also physically, graffiti all over the place. garbage all over the roads. medians falling down on the roadways. when foreign loaders come to this country they probably look around and says this d.c.? the graffiti is horrible. you have beautiful white columns and a swastika on the white column. it's got to be -- the place has got to be cleaned up. made -- it's got to be made great again to be honest with you. because it was something so special. think about over the years, frankly, in my term, when i saw tents starting to form in the parks, we

the windchill in places like nebraska is negative 40. treacherous driving conditions led e to a snowplow getting stuck. meanwhile the southern city was 2 degrees below zero. and they say the storm was stronger than forecasted. >> what that means, whiteout conditions, and again, very, very dangerous on our roads. >> reporter: they were originally set to face off today, but because of the severe weather, that game has been postponed until tomorrow. >> goodness, i wouldn't make it out of the house. >> today was beautiful. we cleared out faster than the storm with more blue skies. daytime highs near 60. we had the opportunity in a beautiful time lapse and a nice warmup. we're keeping this tomorrow. so your plans, maybe you've got a day of service plans in the outdoors, it'll be great in the mid to upper 50s. let's look at the next chance for rain and the big view on the futurecast with a few clouds tomorrow, much like today. lurking off the coast out there is a slug of moisture, which is going to hold off and not get here until tuesday. we'l

a republican from nebraska and a men of the u.s. armed services committee. thanks for joining us.e a former air forcier, well aware of the chain of command and so on. what's your view of this apparent communications breakdown? >> it was a failed judgment by the secretary of defense at a minimum to be out of pocket for three days where the white house did not know he was unavailable for any kind of emergency, command and control communications and that his own department in d.o.d. did not know that he was also really unavailable and she was on vacation in puerto rico. it's a terrible mistake in judgment and i want to just relay the importance of this. you know, i used to work with nuclear weapons and russia and china have weapons today that can strike our country and indeed all of our allies within 15 minutes. we have to have a very confident nuclear command and control capability and you have to know where that chain of command is at at all times and for the president to not know who the number two person is in the military chain of command with the president being number one, tha

stewart in nebraska, a republican. stewart. your valuable service. i'm a registered republican who has voted in every election and primaries in nebraska since 1980. i do not believe -- i believe that joe biden won the election. i am not an election tonight. i don't approve of a lot of the things thadent trump has done but i am voting for him for the simple reason is immigration. according to, i get the omaha world herald, i watch cable news, and according to the, um, thet i've seen, that over 11 million undocumented aliens have come in the country from an over 100 countries. and some of them are enemies of our country. none of them are being vetted. and we do not know who they are. they been getting a lot of male chinese in. they aree+ notetting them everywhere. -- very well. they are people from just about every country. i live in&c a suburb of omaha, d we don't have a lot of low income housing. and i think wh's going to happen is when the people, and i -- i have some sympathy for the undocumented aliens. if i lived in the con
