health have no fury like donald trump scorned. you are watching cnn special live coverage of the new hampshire primary. the former president with a convincing victory, not enough to get the last remaining rival to tap out. trump does not say it, if the republican contest is over but nikki haley will not say that, at least not yet. you have all heard the chatter. they are falling all over themselves saying the race is over. i have news for all of them. new hampshire is first in the nation, it is not the last in the nation. this race is far from over. it appears the race will roll on to south carolina for now. last week iowa was as gracious as trump is known to be. this week gracious trump gave way to grumpy trump. i have one put up, we almost took every single pole in the last three months against crooked joe biden and she does not take those. this is not your typical victory speech but let s not have somebody take a victory when she had a bad night. let s begin with
neil: well, may not look like but the heat is on in iowa. the presidential candidates are making a mad dash to the finish line. six days to go as a fierce winter storm is cancelling events today. but not much could keep caucus goers today. the only thing weather related that could affect turnout is a really bad ice storm that would prevent people from driving there. we have 1,657 precinct sites. nobody has to travel a long ways to get to those caucuses. minus 6 degrees, that s a walk in the park for us. neil: so he hopes. so forget the freeze and focus on the money. nikki haley and her supporters betting big as she surges in new hampshire. busy day. your world now. welcome. i m neil cavuto. so fast and furious that six days to go to iowa and polls tightening and people wondering, is all of that money being put to good use by nikki haley? still too early to tell for sure. grady trimble following it in a snowy des moines. grady? neil, the candidates are braving the we
neil: all right. now we know at least know what is wrong with the defense secretary of the united states, lloyd austin. he s has prostate cancer. getting those details of when the president and others knew about it, still more questions. peter doocy has more. it s extraordinary. we re being told that president biden found out about secretary austin s prostate cancer today. the same day that the pentagon decided it was time to go public with this information. because austin has taken accountability for the lack of transparency, the white house is fine with him sticking around. what happened here, secretary of defense for whatever reason, i can t answer the question why, that information wasn t shared. it was and shared it s not good. it s certainly not good.
israel. you d think that that would be part of a daily conversation and it was. you d think so. the fact that this was handed off after several days to the deputy, kathleen hicks. she was over in puerto rico taking a vacation, wasn t aware of what her responsibilities were going to be. again, it s frightening. this is the kind of actions that undermine the confidence that the people of our country have in these institutions. this shows how flawed the biden administration is. we re having problems with the secretary of defense, we re having major problems with the secretary of homeland security, alejandro mayorkas, who is under an impeachment process right now as well and again, this isn t attacks by the republican party in a partisan fashion. this shows how flawed this administration is and how bad and how severely they have compromised our national security. neil: thanks, congressman. we appreciate it, sir. thanks for having me on.
