"you're lucky i didn't run last time when romney ran because you would've been a one-term president." defending himself after president obama waded into the republican race - dismissing the former apprentice host's chances: "i continue to believe mr. trump

here in south carolina... the campaign devolved into a bible belt brawl to prove who is most conservative: "ted holds up the bible and then he lies about so many things." trump fighting back after ted cruz released a video warning voters trump is 'playing games' with the issue of abortion: "a candidate that can't be trusted to protect the right to life, can't be trusted to protect any of our other god given rights either." marco rubio also accusing the texas senator of blatantly re-writing his record: "i don't expect he's going to apologize, it's part of their campaign strategy to not tell the truth, and it's troubling, it really is." jeb bush -- now polling in fourth -- is relying on a third place finish ahead of marco rubio and john kasich to propel him forward: peter: "is south carolina jeb

bush: no, it isn't. the obituaries have been written probably once a week, and um we are in it for the long haul." in our exclusive interview, bush -- who just replaced his glasses with contact lenses for the first time -- believes americans need to take a closer look at trump's record: "he's got a failed business record, four bankruptcies. later, teeing off on trump's debate tactics -- comparing him to a barking dog: "it's not what he says, it's just the fact that he says it louder and louder and louder and you have to just keep talking through it. it's not a skill set i ever envisioned being necessary to aspire to the presidency of the united states, but i've gotten better at it. rar rar rar rar rar rar rar!" the former florida governor added new ammunition to the trail, tweeting a picture of a handgun engraved with his name, captioned "america" ... that shot spawning a round of mocking parodies online.

"i would like a number one."but this sonic at madison and pine is a little different from all the rest, because of these... stickers with bible verses attached to orders. some customers turned to facebook to vent - one customer saying, "thanks for the sermon. where are my cheese sticks." after a short

order we were hoping to see the stickers for ourselves... - "i don't see a sticker"but no luck. management couldn't give us an interview but they did show us the stickers. they're a new tradition they've just recently started now that they can't print bible verses on receipts like in years past. all surprising considering sonic isn't a known christian-based company such as hobby lobby or chik fil a. we spoke with sonic corporate, who confirmed that while they're a public company, franchisees are allowed to do their own thing. "we don't have a policy backing this. it's the decision by the franchisee that owns and operates that specific drive in." so some customers are enjoyed the food for thought.. "hasn't bothered me a bit." "why?" "cuz everyone needs to have god in their life" others..not so much. "why would you go to a sonic and be like, here's a bible verse with your cheese sticks. that's kinda weird. either way, this sonic in raytown has people talking. the restaurant does not plan to

employees do have the option to use alternative stickers on orders. stick around, a checkoff may get local.. and iowa cattle producers could vote on it this summer.. that's next

good afternoon.. this is the agribusiness report.. i'm david geiger. iowa may have a local version of a beef checkoff this year. a checkoff through an iowa code.. before the national checkoff was in place.. in the late 80s that was halted.. now.. the iowa cattlemen's association has put forward a producer referendum that would reinstate a state checkoff.. a main reason behind it.. national checkoff dollars are limited into what they can support.. mainly on the livestock side of disease research or farmer education. "iowa beef checkoff proceeds and investments can be utilized more flexibly. so, whereas, the national checkoff cannot be used for production research, producer education, those types of things on the production side. state dollars could be used that way and we can enhance some of those efforts from a promotion and marketing standpoint as well." the national checkoff is a

board.. and the other 50 stays in the state.. often times being used to promote beef where population centers are around the country. the iowa checkoff would be another 50 cents a head.. and starts here for investment decisions. deppe says they're maintaining a refund provision in the checkoff.. so if a producer doesn't want to pay in, they can get it back... "if someone would be one that maybe didn't support it with a vote, perspectively, but the referendum passed and we moved forward on it, that refund provision is there. and we would hope producers, if they did get refunds, they would still connect to that return on investment, because that's what this is all about." deppe hopes the referendum will happen in late summer of this year.. the rallies return in a follow through from yesterday.. grains are up a couple pennies.. cattle are still headed up.. and hogs are regaining ground they lost. u-s pork exports did not look good in 2015 according to the

federation.. value dropped 16 percent from 2014.. about half a billion dollars.. 2015 exports were worth about five and a half billion.. volume levels.. fell about two percent.. but the data could be skewed by japan imports.. there are some data errors that have not been corrected.. that wraps up the agribusiness report.. thanks for tuning in.. i'll be back tomorrow. we put stories up every day.. check out who-tv dot com.. click news then
