congratulations, michigan. you have just suffered the most inexplicable parent compliment any major party presidential nominee has ever paid to any individual state. i come back here, the trees are the right height. and maybe it is just michigan. maybe michigan brings this out in presidential candidates. michigan is where michael dukakis in 1988 agreed to put on world's worst choice for a helmet as he rode around in a tank at a general die flam micks plant in michigan looking to all the world like a giant baby and a jettisoned. that was michigan, too. but i just love playing that tape. you look at those kind you have things going wrong. you look at decisions that cannot be explained from the campaign trail in recent years. and in comparison to what they've got going on mou on the campaign trail, the old stuff seems so harmless. those things seem so quaint but this year, when a presidential candidate goes to michigan and does something totally explicable, it's like bad choice for a helmet or what is he talking a

but a last minute touchdown by michigan state left players and fans heartbroken. michael admire has more from indianapolis. the hawkeyes held the lead with 33 seconds left in the game, but were unable to hold off michigan state on saturday. iowa battled throughout their matchup with the spartans, as they did every week during their undefeated regular season. however, an attempted goal line stand was unsuccessful when michigan state ended the longest drive in college football this season with a hawkeyes will no longer be among the top four teams in the rankings, but they played favored michigan state to nearly a standstill. they showed they belonged on the big stage and impressed several national pundits with their play, albeit in a heartbreaking defeat. iowa fell behind 3-0 early in the first quarter after michigan state recovered a henry krieger-coble fumble. the deficit was the first time the hawkeyes trailed in a game since the second quarter against indiana on nov. 8. iowa's defense turned the spartans over shortly after when michigan state quarterback connor

michigan state in the big ten championship. iowa led the first half by three points, and then scored a touchdown in the 4th quarter. that play brought the score t t13-9. but the spartts came baba in the final seconds, scoring a game-ending touchdown, with a final score of 16-13. now, a final look at the forecast... the sunshine has disappeared for a short time here in eastern iowa. we brought back the clouds as a cold front moves closer. as a result, our temperatures will only be in the low 40s this afternoon. evev with the clouds and few sprinkles we do see, our tememratures will remainn above normal for the day! clouds >>> good morning, america. new overnight, investigation intensifies. the fbfbtracking those guns used in the san bernardino massacre, descending on this home. >> i heard the windows crashing. you know, the garage door being doors being broken down.n. >> what did they find? scene, the high-tech way of how

the michigan game, they held them to 231 yards. the buckeyes they held to 132 could run coming into the big ten championship game held them to less than 100 yards rushing. if they can have that kind of performance defensively against derrick henry, who will get the ball a lot, i guarantee you -- they'll be in that ballgame. >> adam: in the other playoff semifinal match-up new year's eve, the orange bowl with number four oklahoma against number one undefeated clemson, the sooners finished the regular season strong, three straight wins over fire. the tigers have won 16 straight. you go back, you've got that 40-6 stunner over the sooners in last year's russell athletic bowl, deshaun watson didn't even play that day. >> rick: 16 straight. how impressive can you be. the more impressive number is nine straight games over 500 yards of total offense. in their a.c.c. championship game against north carolina, over 600. deshaun watson ran for 131 and threw for 289. they're hard to stop. >> brian: a triple threat for both teams, goldman and sc

and they know michigan state will be the toughest test yet. "we've been underdogs 11 out of 12 bowls, so i figured we'd be underdogs again," said head coach kirk ferentz. "we've been in that environment. we've played in a lot of big games, historically, and this team's played in big games this year. what it really gets down to, is it's another game. it's important, but it's another game." "we know that again, it's going to be another very physical game," said senior running back jordan canzeri. "they're very tough, ball, so we know it's going to be a fight. that's exactly what we expect, so that's what's been our motivation for practices during the week." kick-off between iowa and michigan state, from lucas oil stadium in indianapolis, is saturday at 7:17. about an hour ago - kirk ferentz was named big ten coach of the year the new college football playoff rankings are out - iowa and michigan state are ranked 4th and 5th, respectively. again - the big ten championship - is likely a play-in game for the college fofoball playoff. ohio state is r

not seeing as many michigan state fans out here. heather: unfortunately, we are feeling a little bit intimidated by the fan base. but that's because we're confident that our fans have been in the bars since 10:30. ryan: it is an impressive turnout for one of the biggest games in school history. jared: we love this team. they represent everything about iowa. they put their noses down. they go to work every day. work hard, hit hard, and they don't need any glory. i think they're going to pull it out. ryan: iowa fans in great spirits right now, as the hawkeyes remain on top over the michigan state spartans here inside at lucas oil stadium. for local reaction from fans back home in central iowa, let us toss it over to rose heaphy, live in west des moines. rose: i am here at the longest yard in historic valley junction. the place is packed. it is just a taste of the excitement that is going on tonight. t'was the night of the big game. and all throughout the metro, barely a car on the roads. all parked, just so. michael: there shouldn't b

even with michigan newspapers and michigan public radio and the aclu all spilling this news nonstop, it's not been clear how far governor snyder is willing to go to clean up from this mess his administration has made. it was enough that rachel on this show addressed governor snyder directly. watch this. >> governor, the water of flint, michigan has been poisoned. and this -- let me say here for a second, i think the resistance to this being seen as a national story is because people think of lead as being a long-term infrastructure problem. things went bad in that old city that needs work. if you want to make an analogy to personal health, this is not like something coming due after you've had bad diet and no exercise for 20 years. this is the personal health equivalent of having been shot. this is not something that went bad over a long period of time. this is they flipped a switch to turn off one spigot last april and turn on a different spit got and the one they turned on poisoned the kids. the kids of flint mish have been poisoned by a policy decision. all at once. the town has b

the gentleman from michigan is recognized. mr. levin: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan is recognized. mr. levin: this bill adds $622 billion. $622 billion to the deficit. the vast majority of which is through permanent tax provisions. for those who propose to have the increase in the deficit continue to drive down defense domestic spending, this bill will almost certainly accomplish this. nondefense discretionary spending will fall to its lowest level as a share of the economy since 1962. these cuts seriously threaten programs that assist the middle class. those striving to reach the middle class. programs like head start and pell grants and job training and basic health research. for those who want to make tax breaks permanent so they don't have to be offset in a revenue neutral tax reform, this will leave more room to cut taxes for the very wealthy which they say will pay for thellses. for those who want to continue tax cuts that were only intended for a specific per

michigan has treated this with the back of its hand all along.o slow on it and not fixing it -- not fixing it fast enough and aggressively enough when they finally acknowledged it. i think this is a national story. i think they do need national help. we'll be right back. >> awkward conversation last night on this show with the director of the monmouth university polling institute, patrick murray. if you saw it. you might have noticed it was a little awkward. because his poll, showed donald trump with a basically unimaginable lead. which didn't seem real. monmouth poll showed donald trump at 41%. the biggest lead mr. trump has ever had in any national poll, the first time any republican candidate has broken the 40% mark in a national poll this year. i mean donald trump's been leading in all the polls for months, but he has generally been hanging out in the upper 20s, occasionally breaking into the 30s. so 41%? a 27-point lead over his nearest rival? that seemed very new. and you got to ask in that circumstance, is this an outlier, could this be wr

the only problem -- they lost in the final minutes to michigan state. this tweet was online for nearly nine minutes last night -- congrats hawkeye football on the big win. with nearly 15- hundred retweets and 700 likes -- the tweet was then taken down. we tried reaching out to senator ernst following the tweet -- but we did not hear back from her staff until this morning. after the tweet was removed this message replaced it -- reading -- sorry for the staff error -- hawkeye football had a great season. as viewers pointed out -- the only problem with that message -- the hawkeye season is not over -- with players preparing for the rose bowl in three weeks. it's turning out to be a wet weekend. meteoroloigst kyle kiel joins us 7 weather team. see the screen information from the kwwl stormtrack 7 weather team: it's been a little damp today with the clouds, patchy drizzle and very light rain showers. only adding are just dealing with the fog across the area. storm track 7 live weather network in dubuque is already showing reduced visibility due to the fog. h
