so how is the u.s. going to respond? a lot to get to on this very busy day. we start in iowa where the first votes in what will almost certainly be one of the wildest election seasons in modern history will be cast in just a few hours. but for the first time in a long time, the biggest question isn't who's going to win, but who is brave enough to show up? right now temperatures across the state are well below zero. windchills hovering around minus 30. possibly dropping to 45 below. the candidates imploring their supporters to come out anyway. >> i get it. i know it's going to be cold. think about this. you get to set the direction for the country. >> obviously the weather is frigid. yet we've got large numbers of people coming out. they're very excited. we've worked hard for many months here to sign people up

that's thanks in part to the large evangelical population here. we're talking about 51% of iowa republican caucus-goers who identify as evangelical and say donald trump is their first pick. so we went down to northwestern college. we spoke to some first-time caucus-goers. all of them tell us that they are undecided but for different reasons. take a listen. >> i've seen a lot of commercials about nikki haley, and trump's been calling her a snake, i guess. so i guess i don't know if i can trust her. >> are you planning to caucus? >> it depends on how cold it is. the plan is tentative yes. i'm leaning nikki haley. >> donald trump did it all. he knows how to do it. he's experienced. so probably lean towards him. >> reporter: here is why that evangelical vote is so important. two out of three republican caucus-goers identified as

warmth of their homes, the tv ad numbers and streaming -- ad numbers in general are off the charts. according to the sec filings, super pac filings have been four times what it was in 2016. i want to play what some iowans have been saying. >> she made a joke. desantis has become a joke. >> don't believe a thing nikki haley says. >> ron desantis, losing and lying. >> haley even opposed trump's wall. >> haley disparages the caucuses and insults you. >> according to a politico analysis, $85 million in tv ads since the start of 2023 in a state with just under 2 million reg stert voters. what did they get, mark, for all that money? >> not a lot. that used to be my job in the presidential campaigns. i would always say at this point, in some place like iowa or new hampshire, it's great to be a tv station.

good day. i'm chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. devastatingly cold weather is making these caucuses even more unpredictable in a state known for surprises. we have the latest on former president trump's bid to run away with a win tonight and the fight facing the other candidates to have a strofrng enough showing to stay in the race. we've got the latest straight ahead. plus, congress on the clock again. with just four days to go before a government shutdown, leaders of both parties float a plan to keep the lights on, but there's a catch. conservatives hate it. so will that sink it? iranian-backed rebels refusing to back down despite dozens of u.s. air strikes against their home base. another u.s.-owned ship attacked just a few hours ago in the red sea. this time they actually hit it.

at this point it's just wallpaper. it's hard to be distinctive at a time when all you're seeing -- people generally tuned it out. if you haven't made an impact by now, just having a lot of tv on in the last few days of the xaip in a primary state is not going to have much impact. >> kathie, are people at this point just muting when the ads come on? >> when you ask people are they excited for the caucuses, they say i'm excited to get my tv back. i don't want to see all these ads. tv ads in the caucuses are kind of silly money in terms of the universe of people that you're actually going to reach. we mentioned that the record turnout is like 187,000 for a republican caucus. probably it will be lower than that. how much money are we spending per caucus-goer? a whole lot. >> we will do that calculation tomorrow, i promise you.

there may be only two. if nikki haley is at a close third or surprises with a second place or strong second place showing, that could propel her into new hampshire where she has a lot of momentum right now. the person with the most upside for tonight is really nikki haley. the problem is she's -- the good news for haley, she's consolidating the anti-trump out there. the bad news is there's not much anti-trump vote. in conditions as brutal as they are right now, i'd prefer to have people who have done this before. >> kathy, with a field so small, iowa is not going to force a bunch of candidates out this year. but you have long experience in this state. i wonder what is iowa's role likely to be when we look back on 2024? what are you looking for tonight? >> well, first of all, we have lost a lot of candidates. we started this race with more

here is the statewide result. five counties in 2016 went for marco rubio. not many counties, polk county where the state county is, biggest county in the state, almost 17% of the vote will come from polk county, rubio won it. why was rubio winning these counties, these are counties that tend to be urban, suburban, high concentration of college degrees, higher income. that was rubio's core base in 2016. that is also nikki haley's core base in these caucuses. you take a look at polk county, the big bedroom communities of dallas county, right outside des moines. johnson county, iowa city. if haley is going to have a breakout showing, this has to be the core of it. the five rubio counties, is she winning any of them, rolling up big numbers there? that could get her second place, could get her a strong story line she's looking to have coming out of tonight. >> steve kornacki, thank you.

example. we'll be looking at those 42 counties that went huckabee '08, sanitorium '12, cruz '16. sioux county, northwest iowa, this was trump's worst county in the state in 2016, only got 11% of the vote here. there's a lot of talk about how since iowa in 2016 trump has built a bond with evangelical voters. the polls show that. we want to show what that looks like in a county like this. conversely, from ron desantis' standpoint, if he's going to pull off any kind of surprise here he's talking about in that interview, he's really going hard after the evangelical vote in iowa. those 42 counties that the evangelical vote has loomed largest in in the last three elections, he's got to show it in those places, like sioux county, those counties that went for cruz, huckabee, santoru

evangelical in the past. if trump can galvanize that voting bloc, it could really bode, if he wins here, sort of explain a little bit of how he is going to do across the state. i mentioned all of those folks said they were still undecided. a number of them said leaning towards trump. i was talking to an independent caucus-goer here who says he supports nikki haley, but not enough to go out and caucus for her. he's hearing from folks who maybe don't support donald trump but are nervous about saying that out loud, so seems to think that the polling may not bare out when folks go and write that name on that secret ballot tonight in the caucus room. we will certainly be watching closely for any signs of that. >> priscilla thompson, thank you. up next, new developments in defense secretary lloyd austin's health. what the pentagon is saying. a car ramming attack in israel leaves one dead and 17 injured. we'll take you there after the break. you're watching "chris jansing
