vanessa: guys, this is what iowa nice is all about. a group of farmers coming together, using their own time, their own equipment to help out one man fighting cancer. >> it's overwhelming, it's just unbelievable. vanessa: you don't usually see this much green, and a little bit of red, out on one iowa cornfield. >> 13 combines and all 8 row because chuck had a 16 row head. vanessa: about 80 guys, some 30 semi truck drivers hauling corn. other farmers in the combine or tractor, all spending hours out in the field to harvest another man's corn, chuck gustafson's. he's a dear friend of mine i >>he's a dear friend of mine i without being a part of it. vanessa: gustafson says he's fighting esophagus cancer. he's gone through radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, and now the cancer's come back. >> we knew he could use a little help getting the corn crop out so we just thought give a few people i call. i didn't have anybody tell me no. vanessa: everyone we spoke to say it's an iowa thing, you see somebody in need, you help. >> it's good to be f

he's iowa nice. donald trump isn't. and i think there was a natural ceiling on donald trump's support. he could never go above 30%. even among the angriest voters out there in the republican party. and there was a lot of real affection for ben carson and his personal story. that's what i kept hearing over and over. it's his personal story, it's his personal story. i like we are stands on the issues. and i don't think he hurt himself with his "meet the press" interview in talking about abortion in the way he did. because it resonated with those evangelical voters out there. but the other part of it, or the flip side of it was his own personal bearing and character. >> the way that this was i think being described broadly when people saw donald trump's lead slip and saw ben carson starting to move up, first it was just one poll. now it's been four in a row. i think the sort of bottom line that everybody assumed on this was oh, this must be religious voters, this must be a lead that is entirely driven, it must be religious

kevin: it is a story that represents what iowa nice is all about. and now it's going viral. it was last week we introduced , you to zach hougland, a high school cross country runner disqualified from a state qualifying district meet for an act of sportsmanship. steve: kcci's laura nichols shows us how zach's story is now being shared all around the world. laura: it all started with this moment. after finishing first in the district championship, davis county cross county runner zach hougland helps a rival runner who is dehydrated and near collapsing. >> he's just that type of person to help others. laura: but that help cost zach his frist place medal, since a national rule says a runner is automatically disqualified for giving or receiving help. >> i kind of think that maybe they should change the rule. but if they don't, they don't. laura: public outrage spurred a lot of attention, >> there's been a lot of publicity. laura: and now this image and the story of zach hougland has gone viral. >> i'm getting a little bit overwhelmed by it. laura: major news networks. the new yor

this next story represents what iowa nice is all about. it is not going viral. -- now going viral shaina: last . shaina: last week we introduced you to zach hougland, a davis county cross country runner disqualified for an act of sportsmanship. after crossing the finish line to win the district championship, he went back to help a rival runner who was about to collapse of dehydration. because a national rule says a runner cannot give or receive help, hougland was disqualified. eric: since then, his story has been featured by major news networks and espn. monday, hougland even got a call from producers of the "ellen" show. zach houghland: ellen, you are 100% awesome. i hope to be on your show someday soon, and i am willing to dance with you any day. eric: the davis county cross country team will head to state on saturday. despite hougland's disqualification, the team was able to barely qualify. shaina: police in manchester, new hampshire are looking for a man who tired to rob a convenience store with a knife. shaina: the crook got away empt

they call it iowa nice for a reason and he seems nice. trish: this fascinates me as we watch dr. carson there, climbing in the polls, usually second. now in this particular one, topping trump. you can't get any two more different than these guys. >> right. trish: you said it, right? one is loud and brash. the other is understated. what is it that voters are finding appealing, aside from just being nice? is it the thought that he has got to be smart? he is a neurosurgeon? what else is there? i don't know that nice gets you to the white house? >> one of the things a lot of iowa voters in particular like about dr. carson he cares about issues they care about which actually donald trump seems to care about issues as well but dr. carson for them comes across much better. i do want to say a couple things about dr. carson. two things i don't know about him and unsure about his long-term staying power. he is gaff had of prone. as we get later that might be effect and we don't note depth of his caucus and you have to have people on the ground that are fire eaters. >> we're still in the in

nice, to put a point on that. let's talk briefly about the democrats. this hour there's a new monmouth poll and this to me frankly is a shocker. i know it's post-benghazi and hillary clinton certainly to her supporters appeared to be victimized, but we saw a very strong passionate performance by bernie sanders on saturday night at the big jefferson-jackson dinner there, and it just seems from talking to the iowa locals that it's a lot closer than this. this is just a blowout. >> right. right. this poll shows a 40-point rise which is almost unheard of in polling. it would be huge news for her if it was a rise of half the size, right? a 20-point jump. that although seems maybe possible, given the run of excellent news for her, some of it concentrated in iowa, she also had a very strong performance on saturday at the jefferson-jackson dinner and she was riding a wave. the day before was the benghazi testimony. there's certainly a large outpouring of sympathy and fury, sympathy for her and fury at the republicans over

really, what more can you insult and still pass iowa nice muster? so it's been a miracle he has stayed on top. look, he's a one-trick pony. how many times do you go see, watch a cirque du soleil show before you start getting a little tired of all the acrobatics and lights and show? >> that's one way to look at it. look at the history of the republican party. newt gingrich was number one in iowa about this time. michele bachmann was number one for some time in september. iowans do that. they do take anti-establishment candidates and they flirt with them and they have fun with them in the preseason, but then it gets serious, and they're serious voters. i think they're going -- >> the preseason, it was donald trump and now it's ben carson, but carl, i want you to take a listen to this. i want to talk about john kasich. >> sure. >> he's clearly fed up with the current front-runners. here it is. >> we got one person saying we ought to have a 10% flat tax that will drive up the deficit in this country by trillions of dollars that my daughters will spend t

a place which is all about iowa nice which where faith is so important. this is a guy who's been nothing but bluster, who's insulted everybody and their brother and mother and sister, and yet he has stayed on top. he has defied logic. iowa logic. iowa is notorious for being a late decider. sometimes people change their mind on their way to the caucus, or in the caucus room, itself. so, you know, i think we shouldn't read that much into the polls, but i do think that we're beginning to see a trendline and the hot air come out of donald trump's balloon. >> ana thnavarro. yeah, jeff? >> one last thought, anderson, ronald reagan lost the iowa caucuses in 1980 and won new hampshire, south carolina and eventually over a long period of time he won the nomination. so there's a long way to go here, and iowa is not necessarily determinative. >> we've certainly seen that with rick santorum and huckabee as well. >> mccain lost iowa caucuses. ra romney lost the iowa caucuses after a recount. >>> the fbi investigating whether this school resource officer committed a cr

that's a good look. >> how do you think it plays to the old cliche iowa nice, right? that iowa is a certain kind of voter. as he slips a little bit, do you think that plays well? >> i think it plays great, because what i found in the '93 and '94 with bill clinton, you know, he was passing the big tax increase, and he was passing nafta and a lot of things that conservatives and populists didn't like. it was the first time i was taught this. every victory he had, which was supposed to be the end of the world, his poll numbers would go up. people love winners. americans love winners. they feel like we've been kicked around for a long time. right there, that's a winner. and that's a guy that's used to winning, and that's a guy that, when he gets knocked down, he doesn't start worrying. and of course the press, over the past 24 hours, one poll comes out, and seriously, you would think it was the end of the world for donald trump. >> there are several, but he is joyfully unpre dictable about responses. everybody thought he would shoot down and clobber somebody. he knows who

certainly in a state like iowa, called the iowa nice for the political out there, this cuts very well. >> see, it's all in the way you say it, mark preston. thanks so much. >>> with me now cnn contributor and political anchor, errol lewis, and staff writer for "the weekly standard qu" michael war. let's talk about ben carson's rivals, new jersey governor chris christie and the quiet car incident. as you know christie was supposedly talking quite loudly in amtrak's quiet car. you do not do that. i sleep in the quiet car. you don't talk loudly there because passengers object loudly, they did, they complained and chris christie was ejected from the quiet car and he had to go to the cafe car to finish his strawberry smoothy. this is a long way to get into my question about chris christie. this incidence totally outshadowed his appearance on the morning shows. he said some interesting things. i wonder if donald trump had been ejected from the quiet car, would it have overshadowed his political message? errol, you want to take that? >> that's a great question. donald trump, as we know, dona

we're not iowa nice in the deep south. we're kind of mean. we're jaxonians. we want to go to war, we want to win the war, we want to wipe them out and come home and have our guns and be left alone. i think it's a slightly different conservative. make no mistake. a huge, you know what, chuck. the best way to put this and alex is screaming we got to go. i've always looked at it this way. barack obama and his team if they won iowa they were going to win the nomination. they didn't have to win iowa but if they did they were going to win the nomination. i think that's what i think about trump. if trump wins iowa, katy bar the door, he's going to roll through new hampshire and everyone else. the only hope for the establishment to stop donald trump is have somebody beating him in iowa and somebody beat him in new hampshire. that's the way i look at it. >> i tell you a little bit of doubt in your face there. >> well, i don't think trump is going to win iowa. carson is going to win iowa. i just put that down there. >> and chuck has the conversation with him on sunday.
