thank you. >> harris: the former president of the united states donald trump knows his audience in urbandalewa. farmers he speaking directly to the military families and the session, he was there at that conservative breakfast taking questions. the last person to ask a question just graduated from high school and on her way with a scholarship at yale. she is so modest. she didn't brag about that but her dad did in the audience for her. we wanted to show you that. now, let's talk about that. kayleigh, when you look at the former president in that environment and you and i were talking how comfortable he looks, that is a small, intimate crowd in iowa. >> kayleigh: he is very good at that. in fact, i don't know if there is anyone in the race i can do it quite like him with a roomful of voters. i was in maine with him talking to fishermen. and he said multiple times, trump voters with tears in their eyes that said these four years meant this to me" to express gratitude. you so that interaction with that young girl. where did you get the scholarship from? yale. oh wow, you are modest. in his most

i'm rich edson in urbandale, iowa. i'll have that story coming up. and here's your weather today. looking out toward the golden gate bridge. still some lingering fog, but you can see some blue skies looking up to the north bay. and it looks like our warming trend continues for your thursday forecas we'll have the update coming up that's a lot of cereal. prices going up everywhere. it's goodbye steaks. hello, cereal. this is grocery outlet and your family can still have steaks for dinner. follow me. at grocery outlet we have an amazing selection of meats. like beef, pork, chicken, all within your family's budget even today. hello. steak and chicken and pork chops. ♪ grocery outlet bargain market ♪. sorry. got excited. it comes as two well known names are expected to enter the race in the coming days. we've got to end this culture of losing. that's infected the republican party in recent years. florida governor ron desantis is taking his campaign to new hampshire today after a two day, five town blitz across iowa. the governor is making the case he's the republican best prepared to

caucus as again, he said there is no way we lose iowa when he spoke on thursday to supporters in urbandalenes. he is suburban of des moines. he is very confident. in terms of its challengers, this is an event where a lot of them stayed on message in terms of going afterjoe biden, going after democrats, going after what they call weakness, talking policies that they disagree with. not a lot of really direct knocks on president trump who is the front runner of this race. there were a couple of subtle comments, desantis indicated that he wouldn't make any final promises and what he got into office he would do what he wanted. nikki haley mentioned that i'm notjust going to do a rally and leave you and sort of knocked on his style of campaigning. most of the time. so the long and short of it is that president trump still feels exceptionally safe in iowa and right now his challengers are trying to bank on the way to really chip away from that support in the long run and eventually start to gain on him.— run and eventually start to gain on him. great to talk to ou. gain on him. great to talk to y

campaign events, and he is going to be looking different from the past rallies, and jeff zeleny is in urbandale in iowa, and how is that is going to look different than we are used to. >> yes, the president is arriving in des moines, and he is going to be meeting with local republicans who are gathering for breakfast, and it is a meeting that the conservatives will have with 20 or 30 republican voters who will have guest candidates and this is going to be a slightly larger crowd, but for donald trump this is a smaller crowd, and that is indeed the point, and he is trying to go back to the point that normal candidates do, and this a clear sign that he knows that this is a significant competition in the race, and he has to win over, and make the case to not abandon him, and support someone else, but it is happening on the same morning, john, of the revelations of the classified document investigation, and this is the presidential campaign, and the legal case is the ongoing classification in the jurisdiction, and this is the campaign that is going to de-link them, if you will, and this may not be

rich edson is live in urbandale, iowa, the former president taking aim at desantis today, and desantis saying you know, that's not the way to go about this. >> it's been back and forth and intensifying, certainly after ron desantis got into the race. we have seen that since the former president has been in iowa, he arrived last night. came here to the west side conservative club to meet with folks here, he's headed back east towards des moines to meet with faith leaders. the former president has been criticizing the florida governor. he has been hitting him on covid, immigration, his loyalty, after desantis jumped into the race. desantis says to curb the federal government, the next republican president needs at least two terms. trump said he would -- trump would only get one more so now trump is responding to that. >> i've been watching desantis go out and say i've got eight years, it's going to be eight years, let me tell you something. right there you should vote against him. it will take me six months to have it totally the way it was, we'll have it fast. >> desantis left iowa yest

let's get out to jeff zeleny in urbandale, iowa. the former president following ron desantis into the state. still first on the republican primary calendar. >> reporter: there's no doubt donald trump is doing things a little different this time around, at least for today. meeting with a small group of conservative voters here at the machine shed restaurant behind me. he's been speaking for several minutes talking about his record in office. but also striking a confident tone as this republican primary field starts to grow, he is sounding like not only the front runner, but someone who is looking ahead to being a winner early next year. let's take a listen. >> there's no way i can lose iowa. let's see what happens. i don't think so. we'd have to do some really bad things to lose at this point. because it's been amazing how far. what's the best polls we have ever had. >> reporter: so certainly, you can unpack that brief kmnt t there. we'd have to do some really bad things. some republicans certainly admire some of his policy, but ther

they want you there, not just in the morning or urbandale, what they want you in winterset and emmitsburg places like that. that trump was able to get away with that it iowa is significant. >> all right, we'll talk about the two fellas, the two dudes who are about to get into the race. first chris christie. jennifer, you wrote a column about why he's in the race. i have my siri, and i read your column, and we agree. why is he in the race? >> he is a bully to be the police. he's probably the only one with the kind of, i don't want to say gravitas, but the presence, the verbal skills to throw punches at both trump and desantis. he is a former prosecutor, so he has no bones, i think, about going after trump for the indictments and telling him, and everyone else who's listening, these are real, they're not gonna go away, do you really want to nominate someone who is under indictment for serious charges. he's not, i think, in there to win it. he's in there to blow up the two front runners. and perhaps things, well, maybe if i do that, someone else will get to win and all either gets to be vice

>> urbandale. >> anything hurting right now? is bob riggle, and i'm 80, and i'm in irwindale. >> you know, the real trick to doing that is, even when drunks get in an accident, they don't get hurt because they're just loose. anybody -- most people would tighten up like this. so when you -- as soon as you hit something, things break. you notice how it's just -- i just let myself go. strapped in. and i was fine. the idea is if you don't panic -- >> and who would panic when your car is -- here's the question. one, were you supposed to roll over? >> no, no. you're not supposed to roll over. i mean, we totaled the car. >> so how many times did you roll over? >> whatever it is there. i don't know r. three, four times, something like that. >> was there any point in the middle of that process that you thought, this is not a good idea? >> no, i thought, this is going to be great for ratings. this is going to be unbelievable. >> did you really think that? >> i did think that. that's why i did that joke at the end. my name is bob riggle, a

made that clear today when he was addressing a small group of conservative voters in the town of urbandale des moines, and he was really bringing up ron desantis over and over but he did seize upon one thing in particular, it's actually a central argument the florida governor has been making. he's urging republican voters to pick him because he can serve two terms in the white house, not just a single term. so have a listen to this back and forth between these two candidates. >> have to be mission focus. you cannot get distracted with any of this. it will require a daily grind for not just one term, but i think for two full presidential terms. >> every time i hear eight years, i wince. if it takes eight years to turn it around, you don't want him. >> why didn't he do it his first four years? >> so clearly that back and forth, the florida governor saying why didn't he do it in his first four years and making that argument about building the wall, of course, the wall on the southern border. he's been talking specifically about how the trump administration policies have contributed to the siz

in urbandale, iowa, the west side is meeting.porter, the last time the republicans got the caucus, donald trump only earned about 24% support. so this is a field that has a history of really engaging with these candidates and this is an opportunity, if ron desantis wants to be a truly viable candidate, this is the place he can lay that ground. >> we keep hearing about iowa nice and that's something that resonates with people there, and yet you hear trump going after desantis. desantis is starting to take on trump a little bit more as well, at least more directly. listen to him last night there in iowa. >> leadership at the end of the day is not about entertainment. it's not about building a brand. it's not about virtue signaling. it's about producing results. >> congressman, he doesn't say his names but we know who he's referring to there. what do you make of the ramped up attacks or fighting between trump and desantis? >> i think that he's starting to at least draw a little bit of a contrast. it needs to be much sharper, much mo

he is in urbandale taking questions from voters at a conservative club.he former president is clear he will be ready for this battle. we'll see how the potential candidates or candidates already in will react. field growing more crowded by the day, efforts of candidates to make use of time to introduce themselves to he will voters. what person develop waiting evaluating the field is governor chris sununu. evaluating a potential 2024. >> we're meeting all the candidates. we want to make sure folks understand how important new hampshire is and how to do it. most of the campaigns are getting off on the right foot. >> reporter: dnc is expecting a trump-biden rematch in 2024. neil as you know in all your years of experience a lot can happen. there are still 523 days to go until the next election. neil? neil: what do you mean all my years of experience? you're saying i'm old is what you're saying. >> reporter: i shouldn't assume. neil: been a couple months. let me ask you in all serious, i always enjoy your reporting but if sununu runs as a new hampshire govern

. >> i want to go to another iowa voter, ruth house from urbandale.he president of living history farms, an agricultural museum. she's also worked on republican campaigns and in george h.w. bush's administration. ruth. >> thank you for being in iowa so often already. we appreciate it. >> we're going to keep on coming back. >> my question is please share your views and approach to u.s.-china relations and its impact on trade for iowa farmers. >> great question. so china without question is our number one national security threat. and let's go back in history. for too long republican and democrat presidents thought that if they were nice to china china would want to be like us. that's narcissistic. china -- bless you. china does not want to be like us. they want to be communist china. we have to change the way we treat them. so if you know that let's look at where china is now. they've built up their military. they have the largest naval fleet in the world. they have more air defense systems than we do. they just came out with a fifth generation fighter
