Bill clinton filled in for an event in las vegas that hillary was supposed to be at before she got sick. Sick. What we see from the other side isnt abraham lincolns republcian party. This isnt even freedom that Ronald Reagan talked about. Her opponenet says vote for me, what have you got to lose . Well for starters, you say 14 million jobs. No thank you.

On new years day the minimum wage will become 825 an hour thats up from 725 an hour right now. It will increase one dollar every year over the next three years eventually stopping at 1025 an hour. Individual towns can effectively optout of the increase by passing an ordinance that resets the wage in that town to another value as long as its higher than the state minimum wage at 725. Since they already have a lot of Small Businesses that pay 10dollars and above, theyd be willing to see it through. Cedar rapids and marion i think are willing to go to 825 and wait to see what the Legislature Might do. Do. Wapello county followed suit just days later becoming the third iowa county to approve a plan for a higher minimum wage. On january first theyre setting their wage at 825 an hour up from 725.

Friday senators Chuck Grassley and joni ernst both sat down with va officials to learn more about how the system works right now and figure out where it might be able to improve. Weeks ago they both demanded investigations from the Inspector Generals Office to figure out where sergent Brandon Ketchum might have fallen through the cracks. Now grassley and ernst say its time to wait for the investigation to wrap up. I remain fired up about it but we have to getall sides. Theremay havebeen a provider who triedto do something, we dont know that yet. Do we have to getfiredup again . It might have to happen. But i think that they know that i have a reputation for enhancing the independence of Inspector General and they will let the Inspector General do break. The president ial candidate many people say is a viable third option even if he wont be in the first president ial debate and im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Donald trump says he alone can fix the problems we face. Well i dont believe thats how you get things done in our country. It takes democrats and republicans working together. Kids.

Thats how you solve problems and thats what gallagher this type of disaster hits, its like, man, what do we do . Where do we start . After the flood, when we came in here, there was nothing left. Theres no way were gonna do this ourselves. People like Monica Vernon really fought to get the assistance that led to the recovery. There is a True Community spirit.

Libertarian gary johnson cameo while ago jill stein came through just last weekend. Weve been getting a lot of complaints about we dont cover those candidates fairly or at all.

In the year and a half that declared president ial candidates have been coming through one of the most important battleground States Gary Johnson has been to iowa once. In the days before his campaign wouldnt commit to the interview youre about to see with him. Hes scratching and clawing for as much name recognition as possible but we still had to jump through hoops to schedule a little bit of time before a rally to get . Free media exposure. In des moines last week the same thing happened. I personally reached out to the campaign and got the run around until untilmately we couldnt set up a sit down interview so you wont be hearing from jill stein today. So if you wonder why those candidates dont get air time theyd be welcome on our show. Theyre not here often because they dont put themselves here. Steffi lee sat down with gary johnson and started with his uphill climb to just be known. Thats one of our obstacles. 70percent of america doesnt know who i am. Im at 12 percent. Im hoping to get in the debatesa nd if we do, anything isp ossible. We are two former republcian governors serving in heavily democrat states and made a conservative and socially inclusive and skeptics to military interventions that made the world less safe. Safe.

You should never be on the job impaired and being president is a 24 7 endeavo missiles . You want a president thats not impaired in anyway whatsoever. Coming up next. A brief history of people around the presidency feeling less than welcome back. In the real story this week we look at scares. After Hillary Clinton made headlines at at the 911 memorial last week. Back in 1992 George Hw Bush had a much worse Public Relations nightmare than Hillary Clinton. He was visiting japan. Japan. When he vomited on the japanese Prime Minister and then promptly fainted. Secret service and First Lady Barbara Bush rushed in to help. He ended up being alright but it was pretty embarrassing and was pretty quickly parodied on snl. George h bush had a famous caused him to pass out too. The story goes he choked while watching a Football Game in his private white house residence in 2002 so badly that he fainted. My mothe always said when youre eating pretzels. Chew before you swallow, listen to your mother. I hit the deck. When i woke up, there was barney and spot showing a lot of concern. I didnt realize the mirror, my glasses cut the side of my face. President obama even had his own health scare being rushed to the emergency room in december 2014 when he had a sore throat. He went to Walter Reed NationalMedical Center for a cat scan because he was a smoker. It ended up being acid reflux. This week the story goes that Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia on friday and a doctor told her to stay off the campaign trail for five days. Days. The problem is september 11th was just two days away with the at ground zero. Clinton was a senator from new york when the attacks happened and played a large role in the recovery. She went and the goal was clearly for her to power through with no one knowing that she was probably not feeling great. That didnt work and after resting for a while she showed her face again. She was off the trail from sunday until thursday. While Everything Else has been go after hes decided to not make any comments about this. With trump not taking the bait his supporters are saying they dont like Hillary Clinton at all but theyre still ok with it. It. Thats a good move, let the surrogates do that. Hes staying on mark. I dont agree with anything that he stands for but you dont wish that on anybody. That lady thats running his campaign now i think is keeping him in tow. Tow. That woman is kellyanne conway. She became the Trump Campaign manager when Paul Manafort was pushed aside a few weeks ago. After the break. The former obama staffer dishing it out to both sides in 2016. Who ordered the food . Dont shout at me, dude. Paul ordered the food. But im paul and i didnt. If we dont feed her this instance, shes gonna fire all assistants someone has to take the fall tom orders on tuesdays. Today isnt tuesday. Its not tuesday . Maybe the intern ordered . Theres no way someone whos been here for three hours ordered the food and weve been here for three years and none of us ordered the food. Freaky fast youre my new ceo. Dont worry im, im not going to fire you. Jimmy johns im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Hes a racebaiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. Hes not a serious adult. I cant vote for donald trump given the things that he said. Trump should not be supported. I believe hes disqualified himself to be president. Now we look at their voice and David Axelrod didnt disappoint this week. Week. He was the brains behind the barack obama run for the white house in 2008 now hes a commentator on cnn. He beat Hillary Clinton in 2008 generally on her side except when he tweeted about her secrecy. Secrecy.

Then he said whats the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly craeted unnecessary problems . Problems . In no Uncertain Terms hes
