is a real surveillance video from one of our local dairy queens here in sioux city.k34actually aren't using it local advertising, want pd to put ton internet. he did get caught. he was actually trying to break in because he was hungry and want add blizzard. >> it's not like they just have the blizzards ready to go. he would have had to break in and then yupz the blizzard-making machine? >> yeah, he thought that. apparently he thought he was good enough to do something like that. >> got to love him. >> and the video up online and then you decided to have the ad or did you have the idea to create the ad and put it up? >> we actually had the idea to create it. took something negative, unfortunate that happened and the turned it into something positive. people really do crave blizzards, i guess. >> are the blizzards in sioux city, like, extra good? is that why this guy wanted to break in? >> they must be! >>> it is summer, and the videos are starting to roll in. the latest one is from la jolla, california. a group of people are going out on their kayaks to enjoy the beau

>>it is a surprising it was a local reporter from sioux city, iowa, he said a company in my business has gone out of business because of upcoming obama-care. the president seems surprised saying the only companies that have been affected by obama-care have been health insurers. he seemed surprised it had been. it was. the company in question, they are the manufacturer of hospital equipment. they dropped 111 people from their manufacturing operation and they said specifically it was the added costs of obama-care that had driven them out of sioux city, iowa. the president was surprised at this. prance he shouldn't have been. it suggests the president is not firmly in touch with what's going on with small business and private enterprise where obama-care is concerned. shannon: so many businesses anecdotally. it's not that they are so dead set against it, they are worried about the uncertainty. where you see surveys where one in eight small businesses have lost their insurance or told they are going to be phased out. they don't know what's going to come next. >> if you are running a busin

think sioux city, iowa, roanoke, virginia, and the biggest little city in america, reno, nevada, hoping to turn the page on the private sector is doing fine gaffe, the president made his state-by-state pitch for economic progress. >> you're seeing the kind of steady progress that i think wisconsinites and folks all across america are looking for. we want to see colorado's economy continue to grow and the country's economy continue to grow. what we've seen is the economy in virginia has improved and that the unemployment rate in a lot of areas has dropped significantly. >> and though the president didn't mention romney by name, he pointedly brought him up when a colorado springs reporter asked him why neither party can acknowledge that the other side is right about anything. >> it's true that the parties are divided right now, but it's not because my administration hasn't constantly reached out to them. even my health care bill, which is something that has generated a lot of negative attention on the republican side was modeled on the health care bill that was passed by their current rep

is run in sioux city or the russian equity market in the will do so by. right now not only will it make profit because russian that bt is quite cheap right now but it will also help to reduce volatility on the markets now the reason why the russian markets are in the right territory that's because the oil prices are headed south and will have more of that in just a second but let's take a look at currencies forest and see what's happening. which is the moves in the against the dollar when it comes to the ruble it's gaining against both major currencies and that's credit. which has been put in a lot of effort to make sure that it's stronger and that's because we've seen a lot of weakness will there will be especially for the month of may when that lost fourteen percent of all of its value now crude as i said who sold gains for the war this strange day and then that mindset it had in the south because the lights were destroyed i had eighty four dollars and sixty nine cents per barrel and for the price of letters exactly i had one hundred dollars more a barr

. >> i remember covering him in sioux city, can there was not a piece of paper -- >> he was not a reader. >> he didn't read anything. >> you talk to people, it was surprising, he was a skimmer, get top line information. the more you got to know him as a political candidate, the less impressed you got for those of us that covered him. you would stlit and you could tell the coverage of edwards was great at first, and then as reporters watched him, you could tell there is not a lot there, he may be only a inch deep on specific policy issues. it wasn't clear what motivated him or what his passion was other than to get elected. i always thought this saga, there is an element that none of us can understand unless you've lost a child. the reason i will still have sympathy a little for him is no one knows what it's like to lose a child. when they lost a child, john and elizabeth edwards changed. whatever happened between the two of them, nothing was ever the same. >> pause on that. that happens to people who lose children, it does something tragic to the rupp that's common and it's horrible. >>

it was a mile wide downriver in sioux city, iowa. 11 miles wide south of omaha. it became four to six miles wide all the way down into missouri. st. joseph, kansas city, on toward st. louis. this was a massive flood of historic proportions. it could have been prevented. yet, i have not challenged the corps of engineers on that. i said to them, we need to fix the problem so it doesn't happen again. they have declared this was a 500-year event even though the usgs statisticians said it's between a 70 and 1,000-year event. this is a piece of legislation, h.r. 2942, that enjoys the support of almost everyone that represents the missouri river watershed area and yes, naturally, it will be nor downstream. from sioux city downstream to the mouth there's only one that represents the river that has not signed on to this bill. it's bipartisan. it's entirely -- the entire iowa delegation and most of nebraska, but yet the rules committee turned down my request for -- to offer an amendment even though there's no discussion and no disagreement. my amendment was germane to the b

he is also doing interviews, green bay, wisconsin, roanoke, virginia, jacksonville, florida, sioux city, iowa, colorado springs, colorado, reno, nevada, all areas he could use a little bit of help. >> this is something i think since president clinton really started pushing was the local interviews. president obama's really accelerated that. this is pure david plough. he really loves to go around the national media and go straight to the local guys for a couple reasons. first, it micro-targets on local issues and the second reason is the -- our sense is the local guys probably aren't going to ask the kind of inside the beltway questions that we ask. >> also has another advantage. means they don't have to talk to glen thrush. >> terrifying concept for a lot of elected leaders. >> this was something that ken melman, who ran president bush's re-election campaign, and david plough admits to being a student of that campaign, this is something ken melman perfected upon what the clintons did. we were students of those media strategies and tactics and i think they brought it to another level. i

during an interview, the president was doing with a local news reporter from sioux city, iowa, the president actually was surprised to learn that his health care law is hurting small businesses. it is certainly hurting small businesses all across the country. he was surprised to learn of that. well, the news doesn't come as a shock to most americans. it definitely caught president obama off guard. here's what happened. the iowa reporter told the president that one business in iowa needed to close shop, move the jobs back to wisconsin because of the president's health care law. the president's response to the reporter i found troubling. president obama said, "yeah, that would be kind of hard to explain because the only folks," the president said "that have been kpwabgtd in terms of the health care -- that have been impacted because of the health care bill are insurance companies." the president said the only folks, the only folks that have been impacted in terms of the health care bill are insurance companies. that, mr. president, is why i continue to come to the floor with a doctor's second

2013 request dwarfs the insufficient $7.8 million requested for the entire navigation program from sioux city to the mouth of the missouri. i do not take for granted the ecosystems. i grew up along the missouri river. we have reached a point in our nation where we value the welfare of fish and birds more than the welfare of ourl fellow human beings. our priorities are backwards. this amendment passed by voice vote during the 2012 appropriations consideration is supported by the coalition to protect the missouri river, the missouri and illinois farm bureaus and the corn growing association and proposes a plan. the end of the study will no way jeopardize the plan. is is one of the studies focused on the missouri river. the people who foot the bill for these studies, many of which take years to complete are the very people who lost their farms or businesses and their homes. this amendment will eliminate a study that has become a tool for the return of the river to its most natural state with little regard to flood control, trade, power generation or the people who depend on the missouri river. a
