AND A BIT OF A WARMUP, TOO
AFTER TOMORROW, AND I WILL TALK
ABOUT THAT WITH YOUR 7 DAY IN A
FEW MINUTES.
FIRST VOTES FOR THE 2020
WHITE HOUSE RACE WILL BE CAST
IN THE IOWA CAUCUSES IT COULD
BE A FIGHT TO THE FINISH FOR
THE DEMOCRATS.
THE CANDIDATES SPENT THE
WEEKEND MAKING THE FINAL PITCH
TO THEIR CANDIDATES.
JASON, YOU HAVE BEEN PUTTING
THE MILES ON THE CAR.
HOW ARE YOU?
Reporter: DOING WELL.
I WILL TELL YOU SENATOR AMY
KLOBUCHAR WISHES SHE WAS AT THE
WAVELAND CAFE INSTEAD OF
WASHINGTON, DC, FOR THE
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
THREE OF THE TOP CANDIDATES
BACK IN DC INSTEAD OF BEING
HERE BECAUSE OF THEIR DUTIES
FOR THE IMPEACHMENT, AND I WILL
TELL YOU WHATTER HERE AT THE
WAVELAND CAFE, AND YOU CAN SEE,
IT'S HOPPING IN HERE THIS
MORNING.
THE CONVERSATION IS HALF ABOUT
THE SUPER BOWL, DES MOINES IN
THIS IN BETWEEN AREA, WHERE YOU
HAVE VIKINGS' FANS, CHIEFS'
FANS, AND THE CHIEF FANS ARE
CELEBRATING.
WE WILL SEE TONIGHT WHICH
VOTERS ARE GOING TO BE
CELEBRATING THAT THEIR
CANDIDATE CAME OUT ON TOP.
WE WERE IN MASON CITY YESTERDAY
WITH AMY KLOBUCHAR, AND ALSO IN
THE SUBURBS OF DES MOINES.
LAST NIGHT SHE HAD A SUPER BOWL
PARTY IN FRONT OF A PACKED ROOM
AT A BARBECUE RESTAURANT, AND
AMY KLOBUCHAR SAYS TO HER, THE
CAUCUS IS THE REAL SUPER BOWL.
THE SUPERIOWA CAUCUS, AND
BECAUSE SHE'S NOT HERE RIGHT
NOW, SHE RALLIED SUPPORTERS TO
GET OUT AND DO THE WORK FOR
HER.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO CALL
EVERY PEOPLE.
GO TO MORE DOORS, GET YOUR
FRIENDS OUT AT THE CAUCUSES,
GET PEOPLE TO GO TO THE
CAUCUSES THAT YOU NEVER THOUGHT
WOULD GO TO THE CAUCUSES.
GET THEM OUT THERE.
Reporter: ALL OF THE
CANDIDATES MAKING THE SAME PUSH
TODAY, AND AS I MENTIONED, ALL
OF THE SENATORS, BERNIE
SANDERS, ELIZABETH WARREN, IN
DC, AND SURROGATES HAVE BEEN
HERE INSTEAD.
ELECTED OFFICIALS, FAMILY
MEMBERS, MINNESOTA'S GOVERNOR
AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HERE,
AND I ASKED THEM IF THEY
THOUGHT IOWANS WOULD BE
RECEPTIVE TO HEARING A COUPLE
OF ELECT ODD OFFICIALS FROM
MINNESOTA TELLING THEM WHO TO
VOTE FOR.
THE THING I SAY I'M MOST
IMPRESSED WITH, HOW THOUGHTFUL
PEOPLE ARE ABOUT THIS.
THERE'S UNDECIDEDS IN THERE.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT A
SURROGATE COMING IN.
I LOOK AT FOLKS TALKING TO US
WHAT WILL IMPACT THEIR LIFE,
AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT
RESULTS, TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE
WHO HAS TO HEAL THE COUNTRY AND
BRING US TOGETHER.
I WAS JUST TALKING HERE AT
THE CAFE TO MY FRIEND OVER HERE
A FORMER OWATONNA NATIVE.
OWATONNA.
Reporter: WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT EXPECTATIONS, AND YOU
SAID IT'S ALL ABOUT THE
EXPECTATIONS.
ALL ABOUT THE EXPECTATIONS,
AND I PREDICT AMY WILL DO WELL.
WHAT DO YOU PREDICT?
AMY WILL DO WELL.
FORMER RESIDENT OF IOWA, DES
MOINES, AND HER MESSAGE IS
RESINATING.
Reporter: WE WILL SEE TODAY.
IT'S ABOUT EXPECTATIONS, AND
SHE SAID THAT AS WELL.
SHE DOESN'T NEED TO WIN OR COME
IN THE TOP THREE EVEN, AND IF
SHE IS IN THE TOP FIVE AND
CLOSE --
ABSOLUTELY.
Reporter: THAT WILL BE GOOD.
CAN I SAY HELLO MOM?
Reporter: YOU CAN SAY HI TO
MOM, ABSOLUTELY.
KLOBUCHAR HAS THE SUPPORT OF
MORE STATE LEGISLATORS IN IOWA
THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE, BUT
EVERYBODY WE ARE TALKING TO,
CAMPAIGN PEOPLE, REGULAR
VOTERS, THEY ARE SAYING PEOPLE
ARE MAKING UP THEIR MINDS IN
THE VERY FINAL MOMENTS, AND
SOME MAY CHANGE THEIR MIND IN
THE CAUCUS ROOM TONIGHT.
EVERY CAMPAIGN HAS TRIED TO
GET YOUR CAUCUS VOTE?
SURE, EVERYONE.
IF I'M BEING HONEST, I AM 100%
BEHIND ANY CANDIDATE,
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, BUT I
HAVE GONE TO ALMOST ALL OF
THEM, AND AMY IS THE ONE WHO I
FEEL LIKE HAS THE MOST
SENSIBILITY, AND SHE DOESN'T
SPEAK IN HYPERBOLE.
SHE SAYS WHAT SHE MEANS.
Reporter: THAT SAID, IOWA IS
OFTEN A REPUBLICAN STATE, AND
IN THE LAST GENERAL ELECTION,
THEY VOTED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
BY 10 PERCENTAGE POINTS, AND
PRIOR TO THAT, THEY DID VOTE
FOR BARACK OBAMA BY 5 OR 6
POINTS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS HERE LAST
WEEK, AND KELLYANNE CONWAY WAS
IN WEST DES MOINES OVER THE
WEEKEND.
OBVIOUSLY PRESIDENT TRUMP
EXPECTED TO NOTCH AN EASY WIN
FOR REPUBLICANS WHO GO OUT AND
CAUCUS, TALKING TO REPUBLICANS
HERE IN THE CAFE WHO SAID WE
ARE SITTING THIS ONE OUT NO
REASON TO CAUCUS TONIGHT WHEN
THE OUTCOME IS PREORDAINED.
WE ARE REALLY ABOUT, GOSH, IT'S
9:00, AND THEY START AT 7:00,
AND THE HEATHER, I'M NOT GREAT
AT MATH, BUT FEELING LIKE 10
HOURS AWAY.
I BELIEVE.
Reporter: THEY WILL BE DOING
THIS, AND THIS IS SUCH A UNIQUE
EXPERIENCE DOWN HERE IN IOWA
BECAUSE AMY KLOBUCHAR IN MASON
CITY YESTERDAY TALKING IN FRONT
OF 250 TO 300 PEOPLE, AND
THAT'S A BIG CROWD WHEN THE
CITY OF MASON CITY ONLY HAS
28,000 RESIDENTS, AND IT'S UP
CLOSE AND PERSONAL, NO MATTER
WHAT CANDIDATE YOU SUPPORT.
IT'S REALLY FUN TO SEE THE
ENERGY DOWN THERE, AND I LOVE
THE DINER.
HI, MOM, IN OWATONNA.
Reporter: YOU HAVE TO SAY HI
TO HOME, ABSOLUTELY.
JASON, WE WILL CHECK BACK
WITH YOU.
