I come here, I meet with great groups in New Hampshire,

I then get on a plane late at night,

when it's snowing and freezing out, wonderful,

and the pilots say, sir, it's going to be tough.

And I get there early in the morning.

and I stop, and we make speeches,

and we get your votes and all that stuff, but nobody's ever had to

do this before.

That was Donald Trump in New Hampshire last night as he travels back and forth between

courtrooms and the campaign trail.

We'll have the latest on the race for the Republican nomination now just days away for the first primary of the contest.

Also ahead, an update from Capitol Hill on the push to pass another short-term funding solution to avoid a government shutdown.

And we'll go through the new developments out of the Middle East, including the escalating attacks from

the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.

Good morning and welcome to way too early on this Wednesday, January 17th. I'm Jonathan

taking a post-Iowa victory lap.
