and today's biggest threat with the tornadoes that are likely in the iowa area, especially around des moines, it's the long lasting tornadoes. the ones that stay on the ground for an extended period of time. and they cause the most damage. we could see ef-3 or higher tornadoes develop. that means winds could be greater than 136 miles per hour. it's an area in parts of iowa where we are already going to see these storms continue to spread eastward. you can see some heavy thunderstorms developing right now. this yellow box here, that's your severe thunderstorm watch box. these will continue to move up to the north and east and redevelop later on this afternoon. from des moines right over into sali salina. that's where we're going to see our strongest threat of isolated tornadoes developing today. besides that from san angelo, texas, southwestern michigan and into indiana, we still could see strong storms that produce straight line wind damage, hail and torrential downpours. but it's right in through here, including parts of nebraska, into kansas and into iowa where we could see some of

thinking is that he can tack to the right as the cristocrat, and that's language headed directly for the iowase kasss. the cristrocrats are. because of his heritage and ivy league background and his sort of technocrattic appeal to some people that he can some tact back to the middle and general election. that's clearly what he's up to and that's clearly why this was called the republican leadership conference. not just southern. because jindal thinktion he can appeal to the whole country, eventually, we'll see. the problem is, the tolerance, the idea of tolerance, is not segregat segrega segregatable. it's about race and gender and sexual orientation and it's about a whole lot of things and the republicans don't really quite get that yet. >> the only thing i see this crowd winning is the hair olympics. the huffington post, howard fineman. thank you as always. >>> actor, producer, okay median, mindy kalen gives the talk to grads. that's next! that we serve. people here know that our operations have an impact locally. we're using more natural gas vehicles than ever before. the trucks are reliab

[laughter] but it's going to be hard because he's a straight shooter and a great guy. so my request is that be nice to jay on his farewell tour and be nice to josh during his initiation which i'm sure will last maybe two days. well, perhapses two questions. we're going to let him hang around a little bit to milk it for all it's worth. hank you guys. >> president of the united states embracing the outgoing white house press secretary jay carney as mr. obama just told us, t

the amendment. i urge support for it, and i would yield any remaining time to my friend from iowa. fromthink the gentleman texas for yielding, and in response to some of the remarks that i have heard, first of all, thatesponse by mr. conyers applies that my amendment is a mandate, it is not a mandate. it allows for the intelligence community to negotiate with the private sector. if those two entities reach an agreement, they have a contractual agreement, which is certainly above board, but it is not a mandate. our nationalt security, we are relying on fcc mandate for 18 months of storage data in the private sector, which is our only way to get a fisa warrant, and that is kind of a tenuous place to be. have a mandate that the companies hold it for 18 months, so we are subject for it to change, and it is only an 18 month deal. i suggest that this is an open, contractual agreement, not a mandate. i did not hear a reason to oppose my amendment. it seemed that the underlying reason was it was not part of the agreement going in today, and i did not have that opportunity. i did not know th

he's been with him since the iowa caucuses. t they might go with somebody a little different, maybe somebody from the outside to shake things up but i think president obama was real loizing that a steadier ship is what he needs right now. >> maybe a female but he didn't go that route. >> amazing. the war on women is raging. >> dana, it's pretty obvious that jay seems really relieved. he has to be the happiest guy right now probably in the whole country. what do you think he's going to do tomorrow morning? and i want to know what you did the morning after your last day of work in the white house. >> it's a little different. i think the happiest person in america is not jay carney, it's his wife claire shipman because tomorrow morning hopefully he'll be able to say you know what? i'm not going to read the paper right now. i'm going to read the paper at 10:00 and rely on deputies. he'll stay for awhile so they have responsibilities. they have serious problems at the va, and in audition, they have something interesting coming up. ne

i'm the front runner but i'm going to skip iowa. that projects all kinds of weakness. o play everywhere. the old chris christie at his highest moment when he was at his strongest, i don't think he was a bad iowa candidate. i mean, he obviously is not an evangelical or cultural conservative the way some are, but he had a lot of tea party support and a lot of populist appeal. >> look at the iowa governor. the iowa governor's not off the rails -- >> christie on his game can play anywhere. >> all right. senator harry reid is sounding off on everything from campaign finance to presidential politics and of course the koch brothers are among his top targets. in fact, the majority leader tells buzzfeed, quote, if they think romney was watched closely by me, that's nothing compared to what it's going to be like with the koch brothers. the nevada democrat ask now pushing -- he's cited corrupting influence of the citizens united ruling in his words put the political process in the sewer. reid also suggested his recent comments to nbc news about billionaire sheldon adelson have bee

the gentleman from iowa is recognized. i'd oebsack: mr. chairman, like to thank now at this point the gentleman from oklahoma, mr. cole, for one minute. mr. cole: thank you, mr. speaker. i have enormous respect for my friend from kansas. we usually agree. but in this case we don't. i represent tinker air force base which has 15,000 federal civilian defense employees along with thousands of private floes working in -- employees working in contracting facilities on or around the base. usually they work together. but sometimes they compete for work. when they do, that work should go to whoever can do the work better and cheaper. this amendment overrides every other law in the book in terms of managing the defense work load by prohibiting the transfer of the work load from private to public sectors, even when the public sector can do it better and cheaper. that in my view is inefficient. it's counterproductive. and ultimately it's unfair. we should allow the work to flow to those best able to complete it and we should rely on the services to ac
