iowa. >> i want to ask you about the weather. it is bitter cold here. iowans are tough folk. they are used to cold. this is unusually cold. and one of the big factors here are the roads. in des moines, you're okay. but you have smaller cities, smaller towns, that are not okay. you look at the map and all of the roads frozen over. this could be an issue, could it not? >> you think about outstate iowa in the rural communities. people have to be there at 7:00 on caucus night, that is finally here. but people will be traversing all over the counties. people live away from the p pre precincts. people may want to stay home. and people that support the former president may think he has it in the bag so why show up? again, i think we're questioning what the weather factor is going to be. we don't know >> can you give me a sense of what you have been hearing from people going 0 the caucuses
is so important certainly for haley because it shows that she has some mauchlt here in iowa as well as of course as we've seen in new hampshire. but donald trump still in overwhelming lead in this race. slightly below the 50% mark. he was at 51% just a month ago, but that's basically within the margin of error. so he leads dramatically. the question is will all these supporters be able to turn out monday night. i've covered several iowa caucuses. i cannot recall one with this much uncertainty where weather is a wild card. do these supporters who respond to polls actually make it to the caucuses? i would add a bit of caution to these numbers, but that's where this race sits right now, jim. >> jeff, as you know as you've covered some of the iowa caucuses, and i've covered some but not as many as you. iowans are hardy folk so they're going to get out there. whether these numbers are suexpressed somewhat, you're absolutely right. that could absolutely be the case. i just want to have you walk us
stuff, anna. what's your response to this? why is he talking about jimmy carter and rosalynn carter? i just don't get it. >> well, i don't get it either. i think it's a good thing that neither of us get it because, you know, this is, kind of, the incoherent, irrelevant, tangential, just crazy things that come out of donald trump's mouth all the time. if they were coming out of joe biden's mouth, he'd be -- you know, we'd be hearing that he needed to be in an insane asylum or an old folk's home. since it's donald trump saying it and it's his base, he gets away with saying things that are absolutely insane. jimmy carter is a very elderly man in very frail health in hospice, who has -- whose presidency we can disagree on, but who has done very good things since his presidency and who just lost his wife. he has nothing to do with what
up north? we need them to pick the cropshi down here. >> those folk who are coming ones who are>> tts up helpinhog to put food on our table. >> wait a second. democrats said these were dreamers crossing the border . . they're all going to college, but they're really just here to pick crops. >> the democratic party has not changed a lot in 150 years.. well, besides working the fields, these migrants are baby machines, they say the fact is that the birthrate in this country is way below replacement levecoay l, which meanson is go our population is going to start shrinking. and the ratio of people p on social security and medicare is going to increase relative to the number of people supporting theto e numberm. this is a problem faced by every major country in the world. few countries, however, have the means to solve this thi problem. immigration. people want to immigrate to the
that our governor set. we knew this, right? but for some reason there is a belief that it's somehow permeating through the republican party that if you're a migrant your life doesn't matter. and this is coming from the pro-life folk where they're not recognizing that this is illegal, and it's inhumane. these people are presumably coming over to seek asylum. that means that they're trying to flee the possibility of losing their lives and to only get this far and to lose your life as you are seeking freedom is just heartbreaking. >> the president has said in response to a lot of the criticism that the border has been not secure enough, he says he's now prepared to take action, to tighten things up and lock things down a bit more t border. what would you like to see? what do you think needs to happen to make sure it is more secure? >> so i think part of this is
and i think the fact that we're still here discussing it, you know, whilst there's a record asylum backlog, while there's £8 million a day still being spent on hotels, why is the government not fixing the administrative processes? and why is it pursuing this policy, which at the end of the day is basically meaning that people who may have been trafficked here, who may be the victims of modern slavery, are going to lose the very, very slender rights that they have under the british legal system, and rights that were brought in by a previous conservative prime minister? let's use the e word for the first time — election, or by—elections, actually, given that we now know that there are two coming up — wellingborough in northamptonshire, kingswood in gloucestershire — likely to happen in the middle of next month. curiously, when i speak to folk in both the labour party and the conservative party around by—elections in a general election year, there's a sense of, "oh, well, they've got to happen". they've obviously got to happen,
