good evening and thanks for joining us. sheila has the night off. jim webb's out, but is joe biden in? and, why do republicans 2016? nbc political director chuck todd answered those questions, and more, on the morningside college campus tonight. before he took the stage for the waitt i sat down with the moderator of "meet the press"s"or a candid cocoersation

the problem for him m that this doesn't look credible, it looks like sour grapes." "vice president joe biden continues to president," breen said. "the new nbc news- wall street journal poll puts him third behind hillary clinton and bernie sanders. what's the advantage for biden if he gets into thth race so mama months after his competitors?" "he will suck up all of the attention, " todd said. "for a good three to six weeks it will be the joe biden show. whether it's you doing stories, or us doing stories, it's the curiosity aspect. so, he's going to get a run ofofttention, which willll likely boost his poll numbers. i think he'll find his ceiling right away. so, will he get a small boost, or it it something that actually puts him competitive with hillary clinton." "with biden out of the race, clinton's lead surges to 25-percent over sanders," breen said. "with biden ouou is clinton the nominee?" "in a one-on-one scenario with bernie sanders, absolutely," todd said. "i say that with one caveat. if

sanders can will both iowa and new hampshire... we've seen this before. the whole world changes if one candidate sweeps both. it changes the way that candidate is percrcved." "that same poll shows dr. ben carson surging... now within 3-points of donald trump," said breen. "why do you think republicans are gravitating to political outsiders in this campaign?" "in the samemeoll, we asked 'do you want new, or somebody with a little bit of experience?' and, it's not even close ong republican primary voters. they want new even if it's inexperienced. even if it means people with backgrounds that have no connectivity to politics. they believe their leaders have failed them. this is a party that's dissasfied with their own leaders in congress. they don't want the old guard, they want the new. "you spent some time with john kasich recently," breen said. "when talking about the appeal of these "outsiders", k kich said, "when people have a aealth problem,

sometimes people tryrylternative medicine... then wheheit gets real serious, they go hire a regular doctor." valid point?" "it's a valid point in a normal year," todd said. "but, this may not be a normal year. and, republican primary voters are that fed up." "chuck, thanks for your time," breen said. "you got it, buddy," todd said. >> chuckckodd further analyzed the 2016 election for students and the public at morningside college this evening. ktiv's tiffany lane was at the eppley auditorium for his presentation. tiffany? matt, todd addressed a room filled with hundreds of people as he talked about which direction he sees the election going over the next few months. he analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both parties, especially in areas where it affects the young vote. "this is a huge problem for the future of the republican party," said chuck todd. "i mean there was a survey i saw recently that basically a third of millenials identified with the democratic party. a third identifiededith no party and only about 18 percent identified with the republican party." todd spoke about the importance of younger

politics. students who listened to him speak tonight said they were excited about his visit to campus. "i think it's like really beneficial for teenagers to know a lot more about politics and since we're kind of the new generation andnde coming down to us "i think it gives us like a new perspecte on just politics general," "like we go to our classes and we're taught from out of a book or our teacher's view." "it was kind of interesting to hear frorohim that he didn't think there was main frontrunnern the republican party yet," "i thought that was pretty interesting." todd said millennials are not a group that is disinterested in politics. they're just a group that's lost interest in washington politics. mama? it was a warm day in siouxland today but it won't last forever. joining us now is chief meteorologist ron demers with the first look at our forecast. we got rid of yesterday's wind but kept the warm temperatures

's not the first time woodbury county residents have heard this. what other options exist to replace woodbury county's prairie hills jail. the idea was tossed during tonight's board of supervisors meeting. supervisor jeremy taylor estimates $1.2 million is needed to maintain the facility ovov the next 10 years. adding that he's had preliminary discussions with various groups about an expansion of the law enforcement center, downtown. that expansion would look at converting an area on the third floor to additional holding cells. "studying whether or not the structural integrity can take the load limit or what we would wawa to put up there as far as the cell block spaces would be the first step," said jeremy taylor. the board has taken no action to move forward with any project. they say it's an option they could explore based on results of additional research. prairie hills remains open. more construction zones could d on the w on morningside avenue. the sioux city city council held

we need to disrupt the old order in washington, dc. we can do a lot better by applying conservative principles we should lower rates and simplify the code

to allow people to freely decide how they want to spend their money. what we need is leadership to fix a few big things... so that this country takes off and soars where people can dream the biggest possible dreams... and pursue them with a vengeance. sfx: applause jeb. proven conservative. real results. right to rise ususis responsible for the content of this message. also provide much needed tax revenue to pay for county projects and school districts. eight years ago, a wind farm was built in osceola a unty, iowa. since then, the revenue from the turbines has meant millions of dollars for the county. these funds are usually dispersed throughout the county. but, the town of harris, iowa, needs a new sewer system. this morning, the osceola county supervisors agreed to designate two-million dollars in tax increment financing to the project. ktiv's tommie clclk attended the public hearing where she spoke with both taxpayers, and officials, about the issue.

according to the mayor, the town of harris, iowa's sewer system is in need of repairs and the town needs to fix the issue by 2017. "we could have just put a band-aid on this problem, but the dnr is at the point now to where they'll start fining us and you know we have 170 people in our city so we don't have the budget, we don't have e e debt-ceiling like bigger cities do to take on something like this," said harris mayor, greg spaethe. the plan involves re- aligning all sewer lines in the town this spring, and the second phase will be reconstructing the lagoon. in order to fund the project, the town has applied for loans and grants but that's not enough to pay for the project. they've applied to the osceola county supervisors for tax increment financing. the board decided on tuesday, the tif money from wind turbine funds would be put towards helping harris complete their projecec "it's in the best interest in my belief of what is going to be in the best interest of the county as a whole. there's a lot of thought and

consideration that has to go into it. a lot more than is on the surface," said chairman of osceola county board of supervisors, merlin sandersfeld. but, many taxpayers voiced their concern with the decision. since the money wiwi go to harris, officials say the other county projects and school funding will come from taxpayers pockets. "we did not want special interests to take ahold of this and we want taxes to go to the county and to the schools where it can be divided out where everyone benefits from this wind farm," said said osceola county landowner and farmer, al brueggeman. "this is huge. this is our economic development. this is bringing taxes into the county. so far e have 5 of e 6 years on the tax roll ananthat represent $1.5 million dollars in the county budgets, yet they still are not satisfied. they want to divert this money away from the taxing entities for special interests and we feel that that's wrong," said osceola county landowner, judy brueggeman. some landowners say they feel those dollars should help everyone get tax relief, not just one town. but the mayor says he wants to

tif money will help the town take the first steps to meet that goal. in harris, iowa...tommie clark...ktiv news 4." >> some of the residentntsay theinext step is taking the issue to court. they already have a lawsuit prepared, and they plan to file it within 20 days. still to come.... studies show that the heart ages different in men and women. that story in tonight's
