Good sunday morning to you and thank you very much for being here with us as we talk about this campaign. We will have live coverage tomorrow evening of the democratic and Republican Caucus. We are the only network that will take you inside the caucuses and show you in their entirety and explain the process. The Des Moines Register, a poll from last night showing how close the race is.

Rand paul, Chris Christie and the other candidates in the single digits. The poll is available on the Des Moines Register fred website. For the republicans, Hillary Clinton holding onto a narrow lead under over Bernie Sanders. 45 to 42 . Martin omalley at 3 . Let me show you this headline. America 2016, we are mad as hell. Thats where the tone is in this campaign. Interviews with dozens of voters in both parties. The driving motivation is stay in uprising in iowa. They are fed up of lawmakers in washington that work for two or three days a week and get little done aside from raising money to stay in office. They are mad about stagnant wages, companies sending jobs overseas and terrorists sneaking across the borders. Trump andtic donald chief rival senator ted cruz and for democrats is support for senator Bernie Sanders. Live from davenport, iowa is jason noble for the Des Moines Register. Thank you for being with us. Caller place for having me. Host give us a sense of what we are seeing today and tomorrow and which campaigned on the republican side is best repaired to get supporters to the caucuses. Guest today, tomorrow, and all last week its been this incredible surge of candidates and surrogates all across the state. They are really making a final push, appearing in the towns to shore up support and making sure people are going to turn out. On the republican side organizationally, i think we have a sense that ted cruz has the strongest on the ground organization. He has been campaigning very hard for going on a year. He has locked up endorsements from some very influential Leaders Within the evangelical social conservatives constituency in iowa which historically has been important. The thing to watch is Donald Trumps campaign. He runs a very unconventional campaign. He reaches out the people who have not engaged in the Iowa Caucuses before. If he can to see bring those people out on caucus day and what kind of organization he has backing up the real enthusiasm of this crowd. Which isr newspaper releasing the final hole before the caucuses get underway. A dead heat for the democrats. A slightly for donald trump. A margin of error of 4 . Historically its been a pretty accurate gauge what happens on caucus night. Who shows up . Guest thats right. Heate looking at a dead between the two front runners. To whoing to come down has the organization of the ground to make sure there supporters actually turn out. What for those in iowa, has it been like on television with a constant barrage of advertising . Caller its definitely constant and is not just television. Ive been driving across the state following jeb bushs campaign and listen to a lot of fm radio. Its pretty inescapable there too. The go online and visit new sites to let Digital Advertising and on tv it is just one at after another. Been a realasnt key factor between peoples decisions. Its more on Grassroots Outreach and they are taking their chances. They want to make sure the message is being heard anywhere in my be heard. Tv, radio, online, everything. Host we are covering to caucuses tomorrow. One in des moines and wa one northwest of des moines. Des moines is the capital and center of the state. Two very different political demographics in eastern iowa versus western iowa for both parties. Can you explain . Caller the general rule is that the further west to go the more conservative and republican it is. The further east, the more liberal and democrat. Two you see were candidates invest their time. In northwest iowa its very conservative a more evangelical. Thats a place for you really see ted cruz, Mike Huckabee invest a lot of time. The small towns and rural towns out there. Candidates like jeb bush and Chris Christie have focused in on the eastern half of the state. Davenport, to view, cities along the mississippi river. Theres a history of more moderate republican support with on the democratic side Bernie Sanders and a poll we did a few weeks ago we saw that 27 of his support was located in just 30 towns in iowa. Three counties with major universities. Base of the state is located in those college towns. Iowa city, ames, cedar falls. Hillary clinton has been focused much more stabilized that statewide. Has been much more focused statewide. Given the democratic process, its advantageous for a campaign who has resources to go into the more rural areas and places were democrats are not as strong. The way the delegates are allocated, that could be a good strategy. Host jason noble, political reporter for the Des Moines Register. We want to thank you and the staff of the Des Moines Register for these months. Always sharing. Information its a big day today and tomorrow. You get to do it all over again because iowa is a swing state in the general election. Caller thats right. Host thank you very much are being with us. We appreciate it. This is the headline from the Des Moines Register website. Clinton keeps slim is over Bernie Sanders in iowa poll. Thats on the Des Moines Register website. What is the single Biggest Issue in this campaign . Ultimately its jobs. Somer facebook page, comments from tom squyres. Hile e the budget w restoring our constitutional republic. Do that and never the also followed a place naturally. Lets go to matthew in beverly, massachusetts. Independent line. Point to mr. Nobles about rural america, i would like to encourage Martin Omalley supporters to break with hillary. The most important issue for me is integrity. Works that no vote counts of us a candidate gets 15 which omalley will not get. They should go for bernie because hillary is such a corporate issue. She was on the board of walmart is the first lady of arkansas. Sam walton said he would never let what is purchasing agents take a handkerchief from a salesman. That pretty much speaks for itself. Host thank you. We go to jerry in detroit. Democrats line. Caller . Good morning and thank you for having me on host whats the Biggest Issue for you . Caller i would have two issues. One is the discrepancies in the justice system, particularly racially motivated Police Brutality and excessive force. And also the issue of gun control. With the issueg of civilian ownership of military type assault weapons. That the gun lobby seems to have an anything goes attitude towards the second amendment. Go, i am Police Issues hoping either the Democratic Candidates who addressed the issue of racist cops and their treatment of unarmed africanamerican men. Host thanks for the call. We have aligned set aside for those of you that live in iowa. Don is next from west des moines, republican. Will you be caucusing tomorrow evening . Caller you bet i am, first time in my life. Cap 67 years old i am 67 years old. Light at 67 have you not been the previous caucuses . Caller i never took the time. I guess i feel like in todays world i have a deeper understanding of whats really going on. Has gotten blurred from conservative to liberal or republican to democrat. It really goes deeper than that. You never hardly hear it addressed very often except there are two candidates out there that will address one aspect of it. They refer to Political Correctness. Most people are familiar with Political Correctness. Somewhat. What is really the basis of Political Correctness is postmodernity, postmodernism. It is a collection. Really outdview that of touch with reality. Host who is your candidate . Caller donald trump. There are two candidates that address Political Correctness. Donald trump and ben carson. I love ben carson. I think he is an outstanding human being. I think hes an exceptional human being. But ben. Does not have the moxie to be president host let me read this headline. This is from the newspapers. America 2016 is focused on what is happening in iowa. We are mad as hell. And we are not going to take it anymore do you agree . Caller you bet. Weve had seven years of total nonsense. We have a president that you talk about a poster child for postmodernity. You take barack obama here is to trade uphis can an Army Deserter for five terrorists. That is insanity. Where does that come from . Where does that can of thinking come from . If you look at the tenets of postmodernism, the first thing and biggest thing is are we as making our own choices . We postmodernist would say are Computers Made out of meat. Free will is an illusion. It is not. Host thank you for that call and sharing your insights. We will be covering the republican and Democratic Caucus.

Its funny you guys have not talked about that. Ive been following that on some internet sites. Thank god we have alternatives now. Hundreds of women attacked by syrian refugees, not by guys name dieter or sven. They are muslims. Stockholm has become the rape capital of the west. As white people we dont care. We seem not to care about our own people even know we are a percent of the earths population. Population. Earth i will vote i am registered in pennsylvania. I work out here. I go back and forth. Bernie sanders is interesting as an example of the bias institutional bias in our country. I was 18 years old when reagan came in. I remember those days back in pennsylvania and a little factory town. Everything was gray. It was pretty bad under carter. They were talking all the time about reagans age. He was like 72. It was a huge issue. Mondale tried to make something of it and reagan turned it around the famous quote. Bernie is 75 years old. By the time he used some of his first term he will be approaching 80. The liberals have no concern about that. The guy looks like he is 95. Bernie is also a guy thats a little bit like me. He fled new york for vermont. Find a there to wonderful white state to live in. I did too. Fored central bucks county illegal immigration to where i could have the kind of world i grew up in. And to find a place for there is not millions or thousands of legal aliens in my trade.

About 5 are foreignborn. Next is joe from South Carolina. Caller how are you doing today . I havent talked to you in in a while so happy new year. I will try to keep it the single Biggest Issue for me is National Security military. I cant mention that without mentioning a supporting issue. Youre right in the middle this every day. You know the deity is operating dod is operating under sequestration. Its under discretionary spending. Thatod bag for every dime they get. Nationalention security without illegal immigration. I will be careful to say illegal. It sometimes impacts our National Security on the local level. Those folks to come and draw on our social programs which are on the mandatory spending side of the house, they get stuff automatically. The only way were going to build our military up and assure our National Security is to go back to jobs and economy. Thats the supporting issue because i robust economy will provide revenue was will help us build our military again. That is my issue and supporting issue. Thanks again to cspan for the realzone. Real no spin zone. Bloomberg businessweek with 1681 caucus locations. A different process for the republicans and democrats. What it looks like from the article. Both getting underway at 7 00 local time. On the republican side it will be speeches by each of the surrogates representing a candidate. On the democratic side there is a lot of backandforth. You have to reach a percentage of 15 perc. Marco rubio crisscrossing the state yesterday in iowa. We caught up with him on the campaign trail. Heres a portion of what he had to say. [video clip] if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders wins, all the damage barack obama has done to america becomes permanent. Obamacare is here to stay. Unconstitutional executive orders are here to stay. These custom our military continue. Our standing in the world continues to erode. The second amendment, our rights will continue to erode. Everything that barack obama has done remains in place and worsens. Hillary in particular cannot be the president of the United States. Hillary clinton is not qualified to be commanderinchief. She stored classified information on a private server because she believes she is above the law. She believes she is above the law. The information is so classified they cannot even release the emails. Hillary clinton cannot be the commanderinchief of the United States. [applause] host senator marco rubio yesterday. The New York Times reported on the classification of those emails. A story from friday. The first time topsecret material has been sent through Hillary Clintons private computer server and it would not make public 22 of her emails because they contain highly classified information. New york times endorsing Governor John Kasich. Was the editorial looks like. A chance to reset the republican race. Ohio, a john kasich of distinct underdog, is the only plausible choice for republicans tired of extremism and inexperience on display in this race. He is no moderate. He has gone after Public Sector unions, talk to limit abortion rights, and opposed samesex marriage. Still, as a veteran of partisan fight and bipartisan deals during nearly two decades in the house, he is incapable of copper mines in belize and the ability of government to improve lives. Thats an editorial from the New York Times. Julius from North Carolina on the democrats line. Good morning. Caller good morning. My Biggest Issue was donald trump and ted cruz and marco rubio. Cruz has this make america grin on his cap. Host that is donald trump. Caller thats donald trump. Donald trump is going to make america go back to the days of george wallace. I want everybody to listen to me. Donald trump is for donald trump. And you will better heed the word he is really saying. Caller my candidates Hillary Clinton. This tweet.
