american people every day, now you've heard me say this multiple times but i'll say it one more time. if you do the right things every day for the righghreasons, the right things will l ppen for our country." paul ryan told fellow republicans last night that he would agree to be a candidate if gop members unify behind his candidacy. some hardline conservatives have been expressing reservations. hillary clinton goes back to capitol hill tomorrow to testify before the house committee investigating the deadly 2012 benghazi attacks. but today, democrats on the panel released the full 307-page transcript of testimony by a former top aide to then- secretary of state clinton. last week, cheryl mills and others testified behind closed doors about the attacks s the u-s compound in benghazi that left four americans dead, including the u-s ambassador to libya. mills was clinton's chief of staff at the state department. democrats have complained about what they call "selective and out-of-

>> "meet the press" moderator chuck todd talks politics during a visit to sioux city. he spoke last night at morningside college, analyzing the 2016 presididtial race. he outlined what he sees as the strengths and weaknesses of both parties. to an audience comprised largely of college students, todd spoke about the importance of younger generations and their voice in politics. "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 identified with no party and only about 18 percent identified with the republican party." todd political director for nbc news. he was invited to morningside to to present the 2015 waitt lecture last night at eppley auditorium. before the lecture, he sat down

with ktiv's matt breen and talked one- on-one about, what else... the 2016 presidential race.

sanders. what's the advantage for biden if he gets into the race so many 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 of attention, which will 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 out, 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 perceived." "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 same poll, we asked 'do you want new, or somebody with a little bit of experience?' and, it's not even close among 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 dissatisfied 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 bout the appeal of these "outsiders", kasich said, "when people have a health problem, sometimes

people try alternative medicine... then when it 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. >> a group of northwest iowa

plans to sue osceola county over the distribution of tax revenue from wind turbines. they're unhappy that the board of supervisors has designated two-million dollars in tax increment financing money from the wind farm for repairs to the sewer system in the town of harris, population 170. wind farm revenue is usually dispersed throughout the county. opponents say the money should be going to school funding and other county projects. supervisor merlin sandersfeld says the harris project is in the best interest of the county as a whole. but landowner al brueggeman says doesn't want special interests to take ahold of the wind farm revenues. the opponents say they're preparing a lawsuit they plan to file within three weeks. woodbury county supervisors are again discussing the future of the prairie hills jail. last night, they looked at options to replace the aging facility, also known as the old county home off old highway 141 southeast of

town. supervisor jeremy taylor estimates it would cost 1-point-2 million dollars to maintain the facility over the next 10 years. he says he's talked with several groups about closing prairie hills and expanding the law enforcement center in downtown sioux city by adding holding cells on the third floor. "studying whether or not the structural integrity can take the load limit or what we would want to put up there as far as the cell block spaces would be the first step," said jeremy taylor. the board discussed it, but took no action last night. on the way: patients at a sioux city hospital get a visit from the sioux city musketeers... and we've entered a stretch of cooler weather. meterologist ben dorenbach will be back with the full forecast. here's the live view from our skycam in spencer, iowa, where it's and degrees
