Well, you know just over 2 feet of snow, as you mentioned. For a 24hour total we did break that record. We didnt expect to see this much snow. That might have caught the city by surprise. The city has done a fair job of digging things out. In areas just to the west, check out some of these numbers. This, a huge swath of incredibly heavy snow. Shepardstown, west virginia, 40. 5 inches. Somerset, pennsylvania, 35. 5. Almost 3 feet in allentown, pennsylvania. For the big cities, you literally just shut it down, because you have no place to put the snow. Look at what it looked like yesterday in times square, you never see it like this, people kind of walking the streets. There was a travel ban that has since been lifted. Big cities like new york, philly baltimore and d. C. , brought to their knees with this crippling snowstorm. Couple of days. You mentioned some of those challenges. Couple of days . Today, its going to be right around the freezing mark. Some sunshine. Taller buildings will see melting. You got these huge mounds of snow that pedestrians have to navigate. This will become a little bit slushy monday, tuesday, wednesday, as it warms up. Today its treacherous to get around. The roads arent too horrible. I mean, new yorks finest having to deal with getting out here. Youre talking about emergency vehicles and First Responders struggling to get where they need to be. The city itself theyre hiring people, anybody over the age of 18, they will hire you as a day laborer to shovel snow. Rob, thank you for joining us this morning. You bet. Our Nations Capital is d. C. Mayor muriel bowser. Mayor, i saw trucks all night sanding the roads. Give us an assessment. We finished 36 hours of snow last night and we have been working, pushing and plowing snow throughout the entire storm. But, once the snow finished, thats when the real digout has begun in washington, d. C. And give us an assessment what will it look like in d. C. . Government opened . Roads cleared . Metro opened . Schools opened . What do you think . Were doing that assessment right now. I was out all night looking at our roads across the city, so, our crews are doing an excellent job on our main thoroughfares, our primary roads. And now, today, theyll move into secondary and residential roads. Residents. Well be dealing with snow throughout this week. And well make an assessment of our operations, schools and government in the coming hours. And what is the likelihood with the metro, how long do you think this will take . I know its always a problem with those huge snow banks and melting snow and ice . Well, i know metro brought in tremendous resources over the weekend to clear stations. But also, to clear their track and keep their tracks deiced. And so, theyre not going to be opened today and its not likely the metro bus will get opened tomorrow. Were hopeful that theyll be able to have some limited Service Starting tomorrow. But i know that the general manager will make an announcement about the entire metro system by the end of today, Late Afternoon today. Thanks very much, mayor bowser. Thanks, martha. New york city got hit much harder than first expected. Mayor bill de blasio joins us. Welcome, mayor. You didnt expect this much snow, so, what are the challenges this morning . Well, martha, weve ended up with the second largest amount of snow in the history of this city, going back a century and a half. And youre right, the original estimates were for half that much. I have to say, our city workers did an amazing job and the people of new york city, they get credit, too, they heeded the travel ban we put in place, which allowed our sanitation workers to get out and clear the streets. Our First Responders to move around. So, things in most of the city are pretty good now. We still have some areas that we have to do a lot more work on. But we have come through it pretty well. So, how long do you think new york city will feel the effects, that snow could be there for a long, long time, those giant piles . Well, yeah, i think today is going to be a very intense cleanup day, and i have to emphasize, people are going to have to stay off the streets. Anymore. But the smart thing is to do is stay off the streets. I think tomorrows going to be pretty good. Well be broadly up and running tomorrow as a city. Youre right, the snowplows will be with us for a while. Well, thats good news for everybody up there and here. I want to ask you a quick question about one of your citys famous residents which one, martha . I know you is a lot of them. Youll recognize this one. Listen to what donald trump said about his candidacy yesterday. I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and not lose any voters, okay . Its like, incredible. Got any reaction to that, mayor . Its incredibly insensitive. Gun violence. For someone who says he wants to be president to say that, its not president ial and its incredible arrogant. You know, this is another indicator that donald trump is not ready for primetime. And the reaction to the possibility that former mayor Michael Bloomberg might get into the race. Another new york billionaire. Well, i respect my predecessor for sure. Two things i say. My candidate is Hillary Clinton. I realbly believe shell be the next president of the United States. And the second thing is, i dont think the people of this country want to give more power to billionaires at this point. I think that what this election is increasingly about. How do address income inequality. I dont think most americans think billionaires are the ones who are going to help us give us a more fair economy. Okay, thank you for joining us. Mayor bill deblasio. Thank you. Now we turn to the political chaos engulfing the 2016 race, the first votes are cast, the candidates are scrambling all over iowa this morning. And were right there with them. Abc news devin dwyer is right there covering the gop race and we begin with abcs cecilia vega, live in davenport, tracking Bernie Sanders surge ahead of Hillary Clinton in the latest iowa polls. Cecilia. Martha, good morning to you. Here it is right on the front page of the Des Moines Register, this is what the candidates are waking up to, that coveted endorsement. Hillary clinton right there. This might be the brightest spot in what has been a very tough week for her. That new poll showing Bernie Sanders leading clinton. At 43 , thats her lowest support in iowa so far. It wasnt necessarily a ringing endorsement. The paper said shes, quote, not a perfect candidate. As coveted as this is, listen to this no democrat with this endorsement has ever gone on to winn either iowa or the party nomination. I have been following both camps as they cross the state. Been swift, they have been fierce, they have been nonstop. Just yesterday, both clinton and sanders had dueling events a few blocks away from each other, in clinton, iowa. The sanders event was packed. As many as 800 people there. He was confident, he was on the offensive. Clinton campaign had a packed event, too, about 450 people. She did, though, repeat a line that shes been using a lot over the last few days. Talking about getting knocked down and getting back up again. Both campaigns are telling me its all boils down the next eight days to the ground game. Using these teams, getting people out to caucus. The gop race just as tight on that side. Devin dwyer whos in des moines this morning. Devin, good morning to you. Thanks, cecilia. This incredible republican so close in fact for the first time last night, both frontrunners spent the night in iowa. The day off before he finishes visiting all 99 counties. Donald trump is headed to church, but the top talker here, how personal and negative this fight has become. Trump overnight said he would not vote for cruz if he wins. Trump also began running his first negative tv ad hitting cruz on immigration. Cruz is fighting back. If donald trump wins its going to be a snowball to hell. I was at that rally, martha, and i can tell you the cruzs case against trump is getting sharper, its electrifying his supporters. Their headquarters are placing 15,000 calls a day, but the big question here is, will those huge crowds for trump actually turn out to caucus . His iowa operation of course has been untraditional. And theres the underdog, marco rubio getting endorsed this morning by the des moines rubio trails in the polls here. Worth noting, in every election in the last 20 years, the register has endorsed the republican candidate who went on to win the nomination. Martha . Thanks, devin. The supercharged battle playing out this morning over whether donald trump should be the new face of the Republican Party, just got even more intense. The billionaire, now, taking his feud with jeb bush, the onetime favorite of the gop establishment to a whole new level this weekend and governor bush joins me now. Good morning, governor. I want to begin with that endorsement, calling marco rubio the partys best hope. The paper has a pretty strong record to giving the nod to the eventual nominee. Well, i would have loved to have the Des Moines Register endorsement. I didnt get it. Congratulations to marco. Ultimately its the caucus goers that decide this and voters in New Hampshire and South Carolina and nevada to start all this off. Im confident when we get to that, the pundits might be lets talk about the frontrunners right now, you have a party that cant even decide who not to support among the frontrunners. The National Review with that antitrump issue. Bob dole has endorsed you, is saying trump could probably work with congress because hes, you know, hes got the right personality and hes kind of a dealmaker. It sounds like hes supporting donald trump, what is this doing to your party and your candidacy . Look, bob dole is im proud to have his support. But heres the deal, donald trump is not a conservative. You need a conservative to lead the conservative party into the general election. Hes not a conservative based on whether gun rights or abortion or taxes or spending or a singlepayer system for health way to the presidency, either. He view this as a strength. And were not going to win an election by preying on peoples angst and their fears and by insulting people. We have to get to 50. You do that with a solid conservative record with conservative ideas to change the course of direction in washington, d. C. Do you think people will do you think trump would work better with congress than cruz . All i know we need a president to work with congress and right now we dont have that. Thats what i pledged to do, to build consensus, to fix the taxes, the regulation that is a complete mess for our country. To begin to build a bipartisan consensus on Foreign Policy again, where americas leadership in the world creates peace and security. Those are the things that i talk about and it seems to be resonating not amongst the punditry class but amongst voters. Trump. The Weekly Standard says that you and the superpac that supports you bears some of the blame for the rise of donald trump. Saying right to rise like an allpro right guard helped clear a path for trump by blocking several of his wouldbe tacklers in particular marco rubio. With each passing day, it becomes more and more likely that the Lasting Legacy of jeb bushs 2016 president ial will be its prom note role in making donald trump the nominee and contributing to the crisis of conservatism that will follow. Hey, martha, im the only guy taking on trump on. Hes a conservative and, my life commitment to the conservative cause is going to be validated by having a guy be our nominee whos not a conservative. Who doesnt believe in a hopeful, optimistic message. So, the Weekly Standard can say what they want. Consistently goes after him. Advocate my plans. And word yesterday that former mayor of new york Michael Bloomberg might getting into the race as an independent. Look, hes a great man. He was a great mayor. Hes much more liberal than i am, but hes a great person. I dont think hell get in the race unless its donald trump and Bernie Sanders, probably. But thats way off into the future. Right now, were focused on eight days of getting our caucus voters out. I want to move to some of the domestic issues. Lets talk about whats going on in flint, michigan, the city of hundreds of thousands of americans have been bathing, brushing their teeth in leadcontaminated water, while government officials were telling them its safe to use. Of care for the rest of their lives. How is this possible in the United States of america and whos responsible . It is horrific and it is related to the fact that we have created this complex, noresponsibility regulatory system where the federal government, the state government, regional government, local and county governments are all pointing fingers at each other. It is a tragedy. What we need to do is have a 21st century set of rules. There should be transparency. How much blame does government snyder bear . We need government leaders to take steps well, hes taken responsibility and i admire that. Hes not saying its someone elses fault. Hes rolling up his sleeves and trying to deal with this. He has a responsibility and hes admitted it. Should he resign . No, he needs to do what hes doing, which is to accept responsibility and begin to solve the problem. You once called him a still think so . I think hes been a great governor for michigan, michigan was on its knees when he became governor and hes led to a rebound and forged consensus. I think hes doing a good job in that regard. But this is a tragedy that we ought to focus instead of blaming people, what hes doing is creating a strategy to fix it because its a complete disaster. Its hard to fix, the health care of those children at this point. But we thank you very much, governor bush. Best of luck to you. Next, our closer look at the gop in crisis, inside the fight for the future of the Republican Party. How the brawl for the partys soul will impact who comes out ahead in iowa. Plus, senator Bernie Sanders is here, could he deliver earlystate upsets to Hillary Clinton, once considered the inevitable nominee . And the powerhouse roundtable on a possible newcomer to the campaign trail who could seriously shake up both sides of the race. Announcer this week with connected by blackberry priv.

Talk to a Financial Advisor today to grow your future as the reality sets in that the republican nominee could really be an outsider, its an allout civil war inside the Republican Party. Nearly two dozen leading conservative thinkers banding together against trump in the latest edition of National Review. While others, like bob dole, warming up to the billionaire, saying he could at least work with congress. Trump, embraced the newfound and you know what, theres a point at which, lets get to be the establishment. We got to get things done. George caught up with senator ted cruz on his campaign bus in New Hampshire this week and asked the texas senator about why he prefers not to have the support of dole or anyone else in washington . You seemed to actually welcome the attack from bob dole, but how about the argument hes making . He said he believes your candidacy, if youre the nominee is going to cause cataclysmic losses. You know what, he omitted two words, from what he wanted to say, nobody in washington doesnt like cruz. That doesnt bother you . The biggest divide we got in this country politically its not between republicans and democrats. In washington in both parties and the American People. Somewhere, a lot of republicans are coming around to the idea donald trump would be a more electable nominee its not a question of electability, listen to what theyre saying. Youre right that what were saying, the washington establishment is abandoning marco rubio and theyre rushing to donald trump and they have explained why. Bob dole yesterday explained why. He said donald trump is someone we can make a deal with, we can cut a deal, we can work with him. And, listen, if youre someone in this country who thinks we need more republicans in washington to cut a deal with the democrats, to agree with harry reid and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, then you ought to vote for donald trump. And joining us now, rich lowry editor of the National Review and the man behind that controversial cover and the orchestrated effort to take down the billionaire and strategist to bob dole, george bush and mitt romney, who thought about blocking trump but then had a change of heart. Good morning to you both. Good morning, martha. Rich, is ted cruz correct there, you saw that interview with george, has donald trump become the establishment candidate . Yeah, the reason, martha, we did this issue, we wanted to make two points. Number one, donald trump is not a conservative. And two, we wanted to make the point, its not the socalled establishment thats opposing trump in fact, as we speak, you have elements of the political establishments among republicans hiding under their desk, figuring out how they can coop or deal with donald trump. We wanted to make the people principal conservatives oppose trump. We want to win this election. We want to do it with a rich, you wrote this morning, this is what National Review exists to do, to plant the flag for conservatism, have you missed your chance, has trump led for too long . I object the notion because hes at 30 at the polls. Before anyone has actually voted in a caucus or a primary that this thing is effectively over. Look, we knew we could get a lot of blowback from this issue. We knew that donald trump would call us a loser. Its particularly rich that donald trump invoked william f. Buckley and said buckley would be ashamed of what we have done. When actually, buckley wrote about donald trump in 2000, he called him a narcissist. Alex, you have a different take, at the beginning of the month, you tried to get an antitrump thing going, you had no takers. Is the gop going to have to live with a Trump Nominee . Is rich wrong . Up at the war long after the last shots have been fired here. Theyre telling the Republican Party to pull its ripcord long after we have hit the ground and gone splat. Seven days to go before the iowa caucus and National Review saying, we should be the party of Ronald Reagan not donald trump. Thats great. And i checked, reagan is not on the ballot. The choices we have been left with, ted cruz who has thrown the conservative cause under the bus for his own political gain many times, and donald trump who some voters are beginning to see as well, hes not Ronald Reagan, hes not the longterm future of the Republican Party, but maybe hes the turnaround ceo, the interim leader who can clean up our books, keep the country from going bankrupt. And stop the russians from kicking sand in our face alex, you wrote just months ago that trump was a powerhungry strong man, why is suddenly the man the gop well, i wrote actually last august, what rich is saying in National Review is not news. I wrote trump is a strong man we dont need in august of last year. And since then, have worked to find alternatives. Guess what, we dont have any. And whose fault is that . I think a lot of the fault actually becomes to conservative intellectual leadership of america. That you see in this issue of National Review. With the conservative cause that animates the Republican Party, we dont appeal to young people or millennials. We dont appeal to minorities. We appeal to only cranky old white guys like me. I want to ask both of you quickly, alex, whos the nominee going to be on the republican side . Right now, it looks like its going to be donald trump. By the way, if hes against i have no idea. I hope it wont be donald trump. There are good conservatives in this contest. Dont surrender, alex, to trump just because you couldnt muster these republican donors to go with you because theyre too conservatives are going to standup. We are going to stand up. Dont surrender to donald trump before a shot has been fired. Thats a perfect way to end. Gentlemen, thanks very much for those shots fired. Next, the case on the democratic side. Bernie sanders joins us live as he takes the edge in iowa and New Hampshire. Can he pull off an amazing upset . Plus, the powerhouse roundtable breaks down the gop crisis a glenn beck and this weeks big endorsements will mean for the race. Announcer and later, the powerhouse puzzler brought to you by voya financial. You by voya financial. Im val, the orange money retirement squirrel from voya. Val from voya . Yeah, val from voya. Quick question, what are voya retirement squirrels doing in my house . Were putting away acorns. You know, to show the importance of saving for the future. So youre sort of like a Spokes Person . No, im more like a metaphor. Okay, a spokesmetaphor. No, im. Youre a spokesmetaphor. Yeah. Ok. Janet . Cough if you can hear me. Dont even think about it. I took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. Yeah. But what about mike . It works on his cough too. Cough it works on his cough too. Mucinex dm relieves wet and dry coughs for 12 hours. He started in Single Digits in the polls and now Bernie Sanders could take down the onceinevitable Hillary Clinton. Senator sanders joins us live next. Onceinevitable Hillary Clinton. Next.

Well, ive been working on my new superhero move all day were non stop, weve gotta have our extra protein. Zero added sugar, zero artificial sweetener and zero fat. And zero holding me back oikos triple zero. Be unstoppable. Mmm dannon theyre all come to look for america Bernie Sanders with an upbeat ad featuring simon and garfunkel, the vermont senator has widen his lead over Hillary Clinton in both iowa and New Hampshire. Taking a new tone this weekend and shifting his focus of attack to republicans. Is he already looking ahead to the general election . Senator sanders joins me now from iowa. Good morning, senator sanders. The Des Moines Register has endorsed your opponent, hillary is not an entrylevel position, whoever is sworn into office next january must demonstrate not only a deep understanding of the issues facing america, but also possess the diplomatic skills that enable president s to forge alliances to get things done. Even though the Des Moines Register has never endorsed a democrat who has won, that seems directed at you. Well, you know, i have a lot of respect for the Des Moines Register. But i think, in every instance, were more than capable of doing the job of president of the United States. When we talk about Foreign Policy, let us be very clear, one of the candidates running voted against this disastrous war in iraq. Go to youtube and find out what i said in 2002 and feared what happened. Much of what i feared in terms of what would happen did happen. Hillary clinton voted the other way. Reason that our campaign is generating so much excitement is that were focusing on the issues that American People care about and that is the decline of the middle class, people are working longer hours for lower wages. Income and wealth is going to top 1 and that income inequality is sustained by a corrupt Campaign Finance system. Martha im very proud of the fact that senator sanders, i want to go back to what you said on Foreign Policy. The concord paper is endorsing Hillary Clinton as well. They said youre a Foreign Policy look, for a start, were taking on the entire establishment. Were taking on the economic establishment. Were taking on the political establishment. In all due respect, were taking on the media establishment. I expect that secretary clinton will get a lot of the endorsements from mainstream media. Contributions to my campaign. When people are allowed to vote, as they are in moveon. Org, we win those votes overwhelming from the grassroots of america. So, martha, i cant argue that the establishment is supporting secretary clinton, thats the way it is. Senator sanders saying its too late for the establishment. You have sounded more and more confident in aiming your remarks at republicans as you said. But clinton supporters have focused on you as nonviable general election candidate largely because youre a socialist senator mccaskill said the republicans wont touch him because they cant wait to run an ad with a hammer and sickle. Your reaction . My reaction is two things. Look at every virtually all of the National Polls that have been done, that has Bernie Sanders running against trump. Hillary clinton running against trump. We run significantly better than does Hillary Clinton. Were beating him by a wider last nbc poll had us beating him by 16 points. In New Hampshire, were doing even better than that, were doing better than Hillary Clinton here in iowa. Second of all, democrats win when voter turnout is large. Republicans win when the American People are demoralized. Our campaign is exciting millions of people. We will have a large voter turnout. I think we cannot only win the white house but we regain the senate and win governor chairs up and down this country. I think this campaign is about whos exciting the American People. I think our campaign is, martha. Senator sanders, you said something to your suppotters yesterday that caught my ear, you quoted with pride a wall street journal article calling you a viable candidate, saying, it appears that we are making wall street a little bit nervous and thats a good thing. The article was quoting the blackstone ceo, who said the you, a slowdown in china and geopolitical risks. Youre laughing. But i want to know, why is it a good thing that markets are in turmoil . First of all, martha its not just wall street. Everybodys affected by this. The reason that i am laughing is i fully admit to having a big ego, like many other politicians. But the idea that Bernie Sanders candidacy, because it has growing support all over this country is unsettling World Markets is absolutely absurd. The point that i was making is we are getting the attention of wall street. Wall streets greed and recklessness and illegal behavior drove this economy into the worst recession since the great depression. Millions of people lost their homes, their life savings and their jobs. And, yes, i believe we have to break up the major financial institutions. Campaign is doing very well. What do you think about the possibility of former mayor Michael Bloomberg getting in the race . Another billionaire. Well, you know, i think it would be very interesting if donald trump became the republican candidate, whos a multibillionaire, and Michael Bloomberg became an independent candidate, whos a multibillionaire, and it will tell people of this country is moving away from democracy to oliocracy. Okay, thank you for joining us this morning, senator sanders. Good to see you again. Thank you. And now, lets bring in the powerhouse roundtable. With me, republican pollster eric dyson, professor of sociology at georgetown university. Former michigan governor Jennifer Granholm and steve inskeep. Cohost of nprs morning edition. So much to talk about. Lets talk about Bernie Sanders and the democrats. Steve, let me start with you. Polls this week showing Bernie Sanders beating Hillary Clinton. And widening his lead in New Hampshire. Clinton has come out fighting. Her supporters are questioning his viability. Is he a viable candidate, will that work . Well, hes the situation, bill clinton, when campaigning for his wife the other day, made a rather perceptive point, in which he said he was dissing Bernie Sanders by saying, sanders has simpler slogans. But hes also though admitting to Hillary Clintons problem. If you look at an issue to Public Education just to take an example, sanders has a very universities free for everyone. Hillary clinton wants to make college more affordable but still wants people to pay. Its a different philosophy, really, and its a little bit harder to talk about and you can see a situation where sanders, with that simpler slogan, with that more direct approach, is more in that moment. Hes more about this moment as donald trump is. Now, does that translate to support ultimately . I dont know. How about the charges hes a socialist . That, the hammer and sickle. Not quite the socialist. Well, i would say first of all, one, i dont buy the premise that shes losing to Bernie Sanders in iowa. If you look at the godfather of all predictions who is nate silver, he gives her an 84 chance of winning iowa. There are headwinds in New Hampshire. That he applies to himself, right, so the question is, how does that play across america. The governor of missouri tough state, middle of the road state, what they know is the same thing that the republicans know when in the last debate the republicans kept cheering Bernie Sanders on social media is that the word socialist is a really hard word. I love Bernie Sanders, really, i appreciate the fact that hes bringing out young people. If you look at the word socialist the gallup poll did an analysis, what are the characteristics you would vote for in a president . Would you vote for a mormon . Would you vote for a jew . Would you vote for an atheist excuse me, a socialist . Its even less popular than voting for its an issue. So, Hillary Clinton is saying, socialist, socialist, socialist, as theyre saying that, but if she loses to a socialist, what does that do to her . Yeah, well, its tough i dont think that the major prohibition the major obstacle for Bernie Sanders is going to be necessarily socialist label, because hes tracking so well among people who feel that we tried the republicans, the democrats, the regular people, and theyre not doing very well for us. I think the question is, how does Hillary Clinton tap into the kind of class consciousness and so much the racial rebellion thats out there and figure out a way to engage it and exploit it in the best sense of the word usefully as Bernie Sanders is making an attempt. But on the other hand, i think that polling is probably misrepresentative of the larger outside poll. I want to ask kristen about one thing, young people have been since youre the young person here, sorry young people have been a driving force behind the sanders surge, look at these numbers. Why dont they consider his support socialism a liability . The Monmouth UniversityNational Poll registered voters who identify themselves as democrats or lean toward the democratic clinton 52 . Sanders 37 . Omalley, 2 . Sanders, 81 . Clinton, 18 . Bernie sanders doesnt sound like a typical politician. Whether it was Bernie Sanders in this election, or rand paul in the last election. These candidates dont sound young and cool, but they sound very different and they sound very authentic. Voters particularly Younger Voters find that to appealing. I dont think that the socialist label is not necessarily going to do in Bernie Sanders. Young republicans, young voters rather dont really remember the cold war or the soviet union. So, when we talk about the hammer and sickle in the ad but they remember that simon and garfunkel song. But theres a mom in flint whos not going to wait for the revolution to be able to give there is a guy in cleveland who lost his job is not going to be able to wait for the revolution. Youll have to wait, even if you brought in a senate, he wouldnt bring in a house, getting stuff done is the thing that moves me, that makes that gives me goosebumps. If you want to talk free college for all her response, why would we give Donald Trumps kids free college . I have a plan thats workable for real people and im going to work to get it done. Okay, well pick up on that in just a minute. Because we have more important things to do. Our powerhouse puzzler, very appropriate for this snowy weekend. And one year since inauguration. So, which president holds the record for both the coldest and warmest inauguration dates . Bonus points if you can guess the temperatures. Announcer the powerhouse voya financial. Financial. And were back with the answer to our powerhouse puzzler, which president holds the record for both the coldest and warmest inauguration dates. Kristen, youre up. I said reagan. Warmest, 40. Wow. Those are impressive stats. Those are impressive. A good guess. It was really cold. I said obama. Both cold. I asked fdr. All three of you can leave. Kristen. The answer is Ronald Reagan. Anyone want to guess the temperatures . You did. The coldest was 1985 when the morning low was 4 degrees below zero. The warmest was in 1981 when it was a balmy 55 degrees. You were very close. Republican inside knowledge. Okay. Now were going to switch to the gop. Struggle we saw this week for the heart of the gop, lets just go right to it and steve, inskeep, eight days from now the real test for the candidates. The poll out of iowa friday gives trump the commanding lead if trump wins iowa does he become the Party Nominee . I dont think thats assured. Maybe ted cruz wins somewhere. But somebody like jeb bush has a problem. Kristen has been very insightful about this. Hes arguing that donald trump isnt a conservative. His supporters may not care. How about that support they got. Glenn beck saturday. Donald trump endorsed by sarah palin which made for some very interesting front pages. If either is a nominee, what will these endorsements do for the general election . Whether its donald trump or ted cruz, i dont think the endorsements mean much. For ted cruz, his support comes much more from tea partytype folks, the folks who get concerned about the things that jeb bush brought up earlier today. About trump not being a true conservative. Trumps support comes from the populous wing of the party. Right. Mike, very quickly, 20 seconds. Look, jeb bush keeps saying hes not a true conservative. But the conserveatives dont care. Donald trump has managed to galvanize an entire range of people outside of the Republican Party. It may be telling when it comes to election time. Way to stay inside time. Thanks to all of you. Woodruffs alive day. It is called an alive day, and this week our abc colleagues and friends, correspondent bob woodruff and cameraman doug vogt will celebrate their tenth alive day. It is hard to believe that it was ten years ago that bob and doug were badly injured by a roadside bomb in iraq. Theres rarely a day when i dont think about that when i walk into abc news. Because that morning after somewhat encouraging calls, i got a call saying that bob might not make it. Just as i was heading into the building to join george on this program to deliver the news of the bombing. Good morning, everyone. We have to begin today with some news that has hit close to home for all us here at abc. Bob woodruff and his cameraman doug vogt were reporting today hit by an i. E. D. Bob and doug were in a convoy with u. S. Military from the 4th infantry division. The i. E. D. Went off. Both immediately injured. Both have injuries to the head. We delivered just the facts. But at that moment, in a small combat hospital so far away, military surgeons were removing part of bobs skull to relieve the pressure on his brain. Once stabilized both bob and doug would begin the journey thousands and thousands of our Wounded Service members have taken through landstuhl, germany, and then finally to Bethesda Medical Center here at home. For nearly 40 days bob lay in a coma, his wife lee, their four children and extended family at his side. Then slowly and miraculously he is one special guy. After multiple surgeries to cognitive therapy bob was well on his way to recovery. Good evening, im bob woodruff. Remarkably just over a year later, bob was back on the air. And since has spent the last decade reporting from around the globe, from inside north korea. Were told that 10,000 to 15,000 have actually come here. To deep down a colombian mine. That is about the most frightened i have been. But through it all, bob never forgot what the military had done for him. Who treated him like one of their own. Bob and lee have devoted their lives to helping our wounded veterans and the families who support them. The bob woodruff foundation, with its annual stand up to heroes gala in new york, has raised more than 30 million. And im proud to be part of that organization and proud that bob woodruff joins me now from his latest assignment, beijing, where he began his career. Happy alive day, my friend and of course to doug who continues to shoot beautiful video for abc. Bob, i just want your thoughts on this anniversary. Well, you know, its been its hard to believe its been ten years. This time has flown past so quickly, so quickly i mean, we i got so many friends, i talked to my other teammates to celebrate this as well. And i think we just feel just so lucky really to be here at all and to be here, martha, you have been such a huge supporter from the very beginning. All of us love you. Lets talk about those wounded veterans that you have helped. Its really remarkable how much you and lee have done and what thats meant for you and your you know, i think ill never forget that story. I was in a coma for five weeks as you know, and my wife told me later on that, on that same floor, there was an another marine that, while we were surrounded by our family and friends, but there was no family members or friends surrounding him and she said to herself and to my brothers as well, they said, when were done with this, lets do something so it doesnt happen. All of our medical care was the same. The surgeons, these nurses were amazing. But in terms of how to deal with them when they go back to their communities, they fit in again and they do that transition well, we got to do some organization. Martha, as you also know, this is probably the most fulfilling move ig thing i have ever done in my life. There are good things and bad things that come out of tragedy. The most fulfilling for me. Bob woodruff, thank you very much for joining us, my friend, this morning. Thats all for us today. Thanks for sharing part of your sunday with us. Check out world news tonight and well see you back here next week. Have a great day. Next week. Have a great day. You know the basic bargain of america is if you work hard, and you do your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead. But so many families dont feel like their hard work pays off. Thats not the way america is supposed to operate. Get incomes rising. Get equal pay for women. Cut the cost of health care and child care so people can actually get ahead. Hillary clinton, she has what it takes to get things done. Announcer the following is a paid presentation for derm exclusive instant antiaging, brought to you by beachbody. Hi, everybody.
