field of 14. who won the bate? some say dallas, texas. this is a poll -- post debate gop poll concted by wtmj-tv trump 28%, paul 23% rand paul a suprise with 20 %, marco rubio also gets double digit support.. following st national observers. from there all single digit according to the roughly 1,000 people who voted online. carson, fiornia, cruz, bush and kasich all follow. . jeb bush will still need a lot of help if he's to get to ththe >> one and ten people right now are not working, and that's not an a.

a yet undetermined group of candides returns to the debate stage on dec 15th in las vegas. cartoon from walt handelsman, new orans advocate sums up the debate... trump saying "live from milwaukee" its tuesday night. carson with, " i built a pyramid at west point. rubio, could you give e me a gotcha questions? im baat math. bush, ill take jebbys question "dad' fiorina, hello hr , fire all these guys cruz, ronald regan, liberal media tedcruz.com rand paul, how am i still here? kasich only half shown. carly fiorina'busineness background, as ceo at hewlett packard seems to be providing her best connenect with ters. while making a western iowa swing on thursday she hammered away on taking back government byby being aore accountable chief executive. shs yet to explain how her three-page tax code proposal would work. but while meeting with about 100 voters in onawa, fiorina clearly made a connection with some

folks with her business background. >> i think the whole budgeting thing is phenomenal. i worked for a longer corporation, and we're going through the same process right now, and how can we not hold the government to the same thing we all wor with every day. very very enlightening. >> before fiorina huddled with sixland voters i got the opportunitto sit down with her and rehash some of her talking points from tuesday's debate, beginning with how she intends to make the most of her most recent performance. >> we start in may 16 out of 16, and i'll stay on the m sta. >> inhe d debate, you made it clear again the stance on obamacare. >> it has to be reappealed, it's failing.

can be debated but millions of people are being helped, so clarify your comments from the debate. >> yes, peoe have gotten insurance coverage, but the question is, is this theest we can do for people? it's carly not. and by the way, one of the only things that's going on that'll hurt people ovever time, you have the nonprofit health insurance exchanges going out o business, at an alarming rate. i think we need to stop pretending that obamacare is succeeding for some, because it's failingor most. the people that are bei helpepe today, could be helped by a better system. >> and some of the talks is the exchange between donald trump, and yourself, and putin. >> turns out he didn't see him

they were on the same show, and nald trump, implied they were sharing a green room, and this is false. i had a private meeting with him in an asian economic conference. >> it was more than a crossing, it was a meeting. >> yes, it was an actual meeting. i d met putin,n, and talked with him and taken t measure of the man, and he's a formidable adversary. anyone that says, we should keep talking, doesn't understand who putin is or the nature of his ambition. >> also on tuesday, she made another pitch of the act, to give congress more oversight on the spending. to many, the rule would bog down congress, but she disagrees. >> we are not a nation of wars anymore.

we're a nation of rules, regulatory agencies spew out rules. the epa has spewed out the waters of the u.s., the cold power plan, they cnged the defifinition of a franchise, and who arehe rule makers? they're not elected by anyone and no accountable to anyone. all of the rules rolled out under obamacare were wrien by bureaucrats in the basement. what's happening is a set of rules keep coming out of washington which no one is accountable. we also, by the waway, have to do a top to bottom rule of every regution on the books, we haven't done that in 50 years. we have no idea what rules are on the books.. and people are trying to figure it out. >> is that really reasonable to think though, there's tt many, we talked about the numbers of pages of the expectations, is it reasonable to think we can go through all ofhose and sort it out? >> of cose, it is, it's just we don't do it. just like it's reasonable to

say, we can go to a three page tax plan, it's existed for 20 years, and no one wants to lok at it. the point is all these politicians are tied up in a political system that's not serving the people anymore. we have to take our government back a and go to common sense things. >> if you do win the nomination and you're the next psecute of the united states, your husband is the first gentleman o the united states. have you talked about his role, or how tha might fit? >> he has talked about. and i think the american people will love him as i do. but we talked about wanting to provide leadadership to the epidemic problems of addiction in the country. we lost a daughter tohat, and the focus on veterans. veterans have served the nation well, and we're not caring for them as we should.

>> you said you're in the race for the long haul, is there a particular circumstance that would lead you to step out of this race. >> nope. >> nothing out there at all? yoll be there until there's a nominee selected. >> yes, sir, i am, and i iend to be the nominee. >> what happens between now and december 15. >> now and then, i'll work hard to earn the support of voters of iowa. that's why i'm here today. the dates are important, obviously, but in the e end what i think in particular, the voters of iowa expect is the opportunity to look you in the eye, to shake your hand and ask you the followup question. in a debate, you get one question and everyonmoves on. i appreciate the opportunity to stand in front of others and let them ask whatever questions they have and a followup question, i they want to. that's how the voters of iowa

interact with them. >> thanknk you vermuch for the timeoday. s>sound offy useing twier, facebook or email... tseaman@kcautv.c. >>carley fiorina will join several of her running mates in des moines on fray for the presidential family forum sponsored by theamily leader. dr. ben carson, sen. ted cruz, former gov. mike huckabee, gov. bobby jindal, sen. rand paul, sen. marco rubio and former sen. ri santorum will participate. community choiceredit union convention cter hosts th ticketed event, www.presidentialfamilyforum.com. after the break ... iowa a senitor joni ernst joins me for a discusussion on wotus.

we'll explain. and tnks for stataying with us tomorrow. according to the iowa farm bureau, 97% of iowa will be

controlled by the environmental protection agency. if an panded definition of the wotus rule isn't scrapped. 29 states including iowa have filed lawsuitsgainst the epa for redefining the "waters of the united states." earlier this month a bill inoduced by iowa senator joni ernst rolling back those wotus rules gained approval in the senate. ernst called it a major victory for communities across iowa and the middle class, earlier this week i had the chance to talk with her via satellite abo her bill and what lies ahead in the debate over water in america. . >>and what do you think ? >> currently the epa, regulates navigable waters, the rule has come out from the environmement protection agency or the epa is an expanded definition of what the federal government would regulate, and to be honest, it's

farmers, ranchers, and small busine a midsummer night's dream, all across the united states. it's so ambiguo, no one can describe what waters are included in the expanded definition. even members of the federal government, when they're questioned about a certain w water way on a farmer's property, they're not able to answer whether it would be included in the expanded definition or not.. >> what do you say for those that'll help clean the water ways? >> those will argue, this is a good move for the epand the argument against that is the expanded definition, it's so confusing and the federal government would be regulating approximately 97% of iowa's land

water regulation, but a regulation to control private land and what this regulation does, beuse of the expanded definition and that is so ambigus, it actually hampers the ongoing conservation efforts in iowa right n now. for farmers or ranchers or businesses to move forward with the conseation project, they need the epa's okay for that kind of a project. they would be disturbing private land, that's now regulated by the epa, with the edition of time delays and the process, what's acceptable and not acceptable, th've not been clarified by the epa, and it's confusing.

>> i think some say that's a stretch.h. how do you respond to her comment. >> this did you notice undo the claim water act, and we have separate regulations that affect the drinking water systems. to doway with the expanded definition of waters of the u.s. does not move us back in time, i'm arguing that the spangleded definition is what moves us -- the spangleded definitionon, moves us back in time, it stops the protection -- to -- we all want clean water and air and lands the conservation efforts that we have in iowa allow us to do this, but in a voluntary method. the environmental protection agency, has been asking the leadership in iowa, how is it we have tremendous support from the voluntary meods all across the

state of iowa, we have a lot of young, farmers and ranchers that armoving forward on their own with the clean water efforts. so whehe we have the expanded definitions, then there's again, a lot of uncertainty out there of what's allowable, and what's not, and sets us back in time. 300 pages of additional definitions that got us nhere. >> there's pressure concerning the water protection and controls in iowa, the counties are facing legal actions, of des moines water works, and part of that pointso voluntaryry pracces proposed in your measure. they say they don't work, because there's a lack of oversight, is this best be described as a battle between the big cities and world communities? >> the water works lawsuit agaiainst the counties, goes a bit

too far. again, i think that parties need to work through the differences, i don't see that the counties were allowed to do that, but the voluntary nutrient reduction program that we have in the state ofowa, has only been in place for a few years and we see a number of up and coming farmers and ranchers, and again, taking the steps to voluntarily protect the land and water. it's helping many of the states down stream from iowa, the waters head to the gulf. so we have moved in the right direction, iowa has set a high standard across the united states, many of these states look to iowa for leadership, that's what we're doing with the voluntary strategies that we have in place. i believe it's working and again, it' only been in place for a few years, it's taken us a long timeo work through the

and moving us in a positive direction. >> if the bill does pass the hohouse, is ere any chance the president will sign itnto law? >> that's yet to be seen, he's indicated heelan reject the -- he wilill reinjects the measure. but we need toto f fin the good policy i t states andhe local governments, but again, that will be the president's decision heelan need to decide, whether he has supporting bureaucrat ins washington, dc to regulate from the cubicles, or support middle america a hard working families, farmers and rchers and their effort to do what's right. >> and if it is vetoed, is there a chance to get the two-thirds support you need to override the veto? >> we'll continue the rallying support inhe senate to get the

president's veto if that occurs. there were 11 democrats, the other day the day we voted on thee wotus, there were 11 democrats thth sent a letter to the epa, outlining the very serious concerns over tis expanded definition. if we can get the 11 democrats to sport us, and their people, we can override the president. >> h many democrats do you need to override that? >> we would need 13. >> all right, thank you very much. thanksks for taking time to be with us this morning on this week in siouxland. >> g great, thank you very much. >>and what do you think ? let us know by connecting through any of our social media tools.

and if theres a hot topic you we'll let you know if it ends up in the house or on the president's desk. back to c check this weeks 9 thinkgs to know.... plus the expansion ofof highway 20 to an all-four lane expressway across iowa is hitting it's final leg.
