live now to sarah smith, who's watching the speeches in iowa. good to see you sarah.heard so far? well, what has been fascinating is how the candidates do or do not talk about donald trump and the fact that they had been additional criminal charges laid against him. most candidates have avoided mentioning him at all and no—one yet has said his name but — that is not true, actually. a congressman got the only booze of the evening when he said the only reason that donald trump is running for president is to stay out of jail. the audience did not like that one bit. they were rattling cutlery and billing him off the stage. ron desantis, though, he came at it from a completely different angle. it was a pretty strong performance from him tonight. he is not always the greater speaker when he gets up on a stage but he was fired up on one of the points he made was that if he was president the first thing he would do good and the weaponisation of the federal government. he would fire the director of the fbi. he would fire a lot of people at the department ofjustice and that was

our north american editor, sarah smith, joins us from iowa where the dinner is taking place.e expecting to hear from just about every republican contender, including donald trump, what is the significance of this event? >> iowa, as you well know, is the first state to nominate who they want to be the republican candidate for president. it does give a lot of momentum to whoever wins the iowa caucus, that's why most candidates spend an enormous amount of time in the months leading up to the iowa caucus in this state, campaigning. donald trump is playing it slightly differently, he didn't win the iowa caucus and still went on to win the nomination and he spent less time in this state than most of the other candidates. but he is coming here tonight, alongside another dozen of them. people will be watching carefully at his speech but also ron desantis, some of the other candidates whore up-and-coming, and watching the interaction between the mall will be fascinating. >> these three new charges against former president trump, how is that expected to play out and how will the other

smith was interested in what they had to say. did it change his mind? probably not. >> and, sarahing that they made was that this would be tumultuous for the country and of course it would but i think the whole crux of the january 6th case comes down to how tumultuous the accusations are, that trump tried to subvert a free and fair election. how do you think that plays out on balance? >> it is really ironic to hear them say him being indicted over this would be tumultuous when i thought that january 6th was tumultuous. i thought trump denying the results of a free and fair election and refusing to this day is something horrible for our nation's democracy. what is really sad is that he has convinced his supporters this is the case. obviously not all of his supporters but a large swath of them believe this and they believe this was a fraudulent election when there's been no evidence of that. he has even tried to pursue this in court and failed time and time again. and so i think that if they have the evidence to prove there was criminality for him trying to overturn the election and
