all i can say is with that situation i followed everything that the university of iowa administrationwyers that were hired, i did everything that i was supposed tie at the university of iowa in that situation. i followed everything that i was told to do. >> yeah, except he wasn't told to go public and say the guy was innocent. no one would tell him to do that. the lawyer, jerry crawford for the victim said it gives a whole new meaning to self-serving now that alford said what he said at the press conference. it's it's not true, and did he not do everything that the university told him. he's entrenchinged at ucla now but these stories, i don't think they should go away. >> cenk: and here are two guys who loves sports, but the reasons and how much importance you give to sports as opposed to the real issues in the world. take sexual assault and abuse far more seriously than we've seen administrations take it at the college level. when we come back, we have the protection action where they cannot be sued for certain things. it looks like the obama administration, and liberals are mad abou

the first strike target was set -- sioux city, iowa.' association joined forces with reno's newly formed farm holiday association. what did the dairymen hope to accomplish? each individual dairy farmer thought that if he could just deprive the milk dealer of his milk supply for a while, that the milk dealer would come, be easy to deal with, come to terms at a higher price for the dairy farmer. schoumacher: the line was drawn. the strikers formed their gauntlet through which the truckers had to pass. and violence ruled. george mills, an iowa journalist who covered the milk strike, comments. the pickets were out on the road to prevent that load of milk being delivered to the distributors in sioux city. the pickets were armed. so was the milk hauler and his sons. the pickets had placed telephone poles and railroad ties and things of that sort on the road. obstructions of one sort or another. and the milk hauler was a fellow by the name of r.d. markell, got out. he was a 67-year-old milk hauler. he got out of his car, out of his truck, and

the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: i come to the floor to speak about the nomination of jane kelly. i compliment the chairman for speaking now on immigration. i am not going 0 speak on immigration today probably, but i hope to be able to speak several times before the bill actually gets to the floor of the united states senate to inform my colleagues about my point of view on the whole issue of immigration, but i can say generally that we all know the immigration system is broken and legislation has to pass, and i hope we can get something that has broad, bipartisan agreement. already the product before us is a product of bipartisanship because four democrats and four republicans have submitted a proposal for our committee to consider. i rise today, as i've said, in support of the monopoly nation of jane kelly tock u.s. circuit judge for the eighth circuit. the nominee before us today, ms. kelly, prisonsl presently ss an assistant public defender for the public federal defendingers's office for the northern d

and with the national weather service in iowa says iowa only gets one tornado per year. you live here. there is more one tornado per year in iowa they also said people shouldn't build strong sellers. that is one of the few genuine steps you could take a specially in farm country to say they should not build a storm cellar because the danger from catching a cold from the storm cellar from the dirt was worse than any danger from any tornado. so all along through the history of america people have had a strange and ambiguous relationship with tornadoes denying them being fascinated by pretending they were not a big problem. so when i started to research the book the thing that fascinated me the most was how did people discover tornadoes and how did we live with them? the discovery was curious because when the european settlers came to america they had no idea at all what tornadoes were. they had never seen any common never read about any, it was a completely new phenomenon which they thought was a mysterious american storm. one of the things that confuses the issue with a h

seems like the thing to do, he'd better be hopping straight to a presidential race and primaries in iowa and new hampshire and south carolina. i tell you what. that position, 94% of people in florida. 94% of people in florida support background checks. >> let me start with you. playing to the 7%. that's how joe scarborough is describing marco rubio and others who had spoken similar comments regarding this legislation. >> i agree with joe. i think that senator rubio's comments play to a very narrow casting of the gop base. i look at pat toomey who is a senator from my home state and many are debating, what are the politics for this for him. i think it is all gainful i think his comments will play very, very well with swing voters, middle of the road people who will determine whether he gets reelected. there's a disconnect on an issue like this between that hardened base and where the rest of the country is.

iowa.you have been critical of immigration reform. here is a story from "huffington post." why is that? guest: we have a real reason in front of us to step back and look at all of the means and methods that people come into this country with whatever their motive is. this illustrates the openness of that we have. -- visas. we have multiple bisas -- visas. the 19 hijackers came in on visitor visas that we have. .- we also have student visas that are not. we have people that come in through ports of entry, whether it be land ports or seaports or airports. there is simply not a means to check and see if they have gone back home again. we only have the entry, not the exit. we need to put the exit in place. host: homeland security secretary janet napolitano testified that the immigration bill put forward by the gang of eight in the senate, that this would help solve the problem. the bill requires the passport to be electronically readable as opposed to be manually input and it is a good job of g

there are problems in montana and iowa. they're dipping into the second tier of candidates. baucus has never been popular in washington. at best, democrats treated him with respect because they feared him and his power in the finance committee, but the guy was disciplined, raised a will the of money and in an odd way, parts of the democratic party are somehow ecstatic today that he's retiring. democrats right now appear more prepared to land a good candidate in former governor brian schweitzer than republicans do, although that is still far from settled. republicans have the same problem today they had yesterday before baucus announced. they don't have a top tier candidate and the bench is fairly thin for republicans in montana. the only big name they think they have a better shot at is the form rer governor, mark rosco. but it's been a while since he ran a race there. meanwhile in iowa, where senator tom harken is retiring, republicans are now having to dip into the second and maybe third tier of candidacies. can't think juggernaut just yet, but republicans are treating him

said ireland gets only one tornado. >> you guys live here, there's more than one tornado a year in iowa. also said people shouldn't build storm sellers. one of the few genuinely practical steps you can take for tornadoes especially in farm country is shouldn't build storm sellers because the danger from catching a cold from the storm cellar, from the dirt, was worse than any danger from any tornado. so all along through the history of america people have had this strange ambiguous relationship with tornadoes, denying them, being fascinated by them but pretending they weren't a big problem. and so that became when i started researching this book, the thing that fascinated me the most was how did people discover tornadoes and how did we learn to live with them? and the discovery was curious because when the european settlers came to america, they had no idea at all with tornadoes were. they had never seen any, they had never read about them, it was a completely new phenomenon which they thought was some kind of mysterious american storm. one of the things that confuses the issue when you

didn't win iowa. >> you can do this without iowa. when it comes to marriage, it's behind you. that's why i keep coming back to abortion. i think you can unite -- that that ends up being what the crutch is for some of these republicans, which is yes, the country and i am moving on marriage, but i have not moved on the life issue and you'll see maybe more advocacy for what happened in north dakota last week. >> you know, mika, so i can aggravate everybody, i've aggravated my republican party for years that by saying on some issues they need to -- not find the middle ground, but be more moderate tempermentally. this rush to marriage equality among the electorate is at least among the republican base, it's a mirage. it's a lot of wishful thinking from people in manhattan and this is my take. i could be totally wrong. but i think there has been over the past month or two sort of this tidal wave coming from national media saying things are changing overnight. they don't change overnight. >> i thought it was interesting, the conversation th

senate in iowa. in a quote that was clearly no accident republican fundraiser doug gross told the associated press yesterday, the republican party in iowa is in turmoil with no clear leader for the future and no consistent governing philosophy. king then told the paper, quote, there could be no scores to settle. of all the opinions out there, i want to make sure there is empirical data. folks, king is very rational about this. if he doesn't think he can win, he's not going to kbgive up a house seat he had to fight and spend millions of dollars to keep in 2012. governor terry and iowa republicans are trying to find a successful candidate while king is trying to figure out while he is viable. they are looking at lieutenant kim reynolds. democrats already have their consensus candidate in bruce brailey. south dakota tim johnson the latest to come out in favor of same sex marriage saying monday after lengthy consideration my views have evolved sufficiently to support marriage equality legislation. this p

now we are seeing some showers redevelop especially back across iowa.nately this is rain that that area does not need and it's not going to be too, too heavy but it's still more rain nonetheless so that is going to be an issue across iowa, eventually moving into wisconsin and northern illinois as well. temperatures today will be on the cooler side, only in the 40s and 50s in the northeast. 50s and 60s across the midwest with more lighter showers moving in. snow is going to develop back through montana and the dakotas and we are looking for, again, those temperatures to stay on the cooler side as we head into most of next week but, again, we are going to keim an eye 0 out for the flooding as the rivers crest and then go above the flood stage and start to recede. this is going to be an issue he is pegs ly with more rain all throughout the week and then the spring thaw happens back through the dakotas as we get into the next couple of weeks. >> on a much lighter note, i wish it would have a spring feeling here. i went outside to leave for work this morning

let me inform my friend in iowa he misstates my position. i have been gent the sequester -- against the sequester every year i was on the appropriations committee. i opposed your cap bill which you supported which had sequester as the alternative. the president is against sequester, the senate budget is against sequester and you would not allow us to offer an amendment four times which would have precluded sequester, not only for air travel but for the children of head start and buy medical research. if you are going to state the facts, state the correct ones. >> the speaker reminds all members to address their remarks to the speaker. >> i yield two minutes to the gentleman from north carolina mr. price. >> gentleman from north carolina is recognized for two minutes. >> hypocrisy is reaching new heights in this body. many said bring it on as sequestration loomed. many who relished to this crisis. are in a rush to put on a band- air. -- band-aid. speaker boehner said the sequestration bill included 98% of what republicans wanted and republica

i remember that anyone iowa with a car could pickup someone in moscow and give someone a ride but that died down when a few things that are bad started to happen. when people started using that for criminal purposes. it's worth noting that one survey that was put out by sidecar there they were trying to use the reason that people felt safe and 71 percent said they felt safe or safer than in a taxi. however, if your surveying only those people then the flip side is tr

the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: earlier today i met with families from newtown, connecticut, to discuss legislation we're currently debating. and it's obviously very emotional, and it isn't an easy meeting to have, but it is a very necessary meeting to have, when the parents of children that were murdered or when -- i think somebody from a family that teachers were murdered, it is difficult for. i want to thank them for sharing their stories of loved ones and their concerns with me. and i hope many of my colleagues would consider meeting with these families as well because, you know, when they hold up pictures of their loved ones, like each of them -- i think each one of them had pictures of their loved ones -- it makes it very personal what they have gone through, and here we're debating regulation that they're supporting -- legislation that they're supporting. and in my state of iowa there's a lot of difference of opinion on that particular legislation that we might be considering. but i think it's somet

i remember that anyone iowa with a car could pickup someone in moscow and give someone a ride but that died down when a few things that are bad started to happen. when people started using that for criminal purposes. it's worth noting that one survey that was put out by sidecar there they were trying to use the reason that people felt safe and 71 percent said they felt safe or safer than in a taxi. however, if your surveying only those people then the flip side is tr case >> how would this change argue behavior. well, people often give the right answer to a survey not just yes or no. out of 28 percent said yeah. half 5 out of 5 so there's a whole string of really strong agreements here even on car ownership. 11 percent said they'd give up their cars and almost two percent said strongly agreed they want to get rid of their second car if you can rely on taxis. when you drive out you want to be able to get back they're paying all this parking they want to get rid of the second car. secondarily 20 percent strongly agree. the dollars the city would spend on itself is there. so there's quite

you stay classy, iowa. it has yet to be determined if the rest of the house will let terrorists derail the legal status for 11 million hard working members of society. to break down the latest politics is donnie fowler, always a friend of ours. welcome back into "the war room." >> glad to be here. we should do a background check on steve king. deny him a visa. >> michael: yeah, it's unbelievable. he wants to be an u.s. senator and take tim hearken's seat. every time someone says something ridiculous, at least nobody is saying anything silly right now. and of course it took about 18 hours for steve king to come out with that. >> who knows how quickly he said it to his wife. he was ready to go with the talking points. >> michael: i know that's what is so frustrating. they heard the word saudi--i shouldn't say "they." it's been one person. and marco rubio said that's not cool. we should not be saying that. >> what is discouraging is the fanatic desire that right wingers, a lot of republicans have, they want th
