Politics now. Jacob peklo joins us with some last minute advice before you head for tomorrow nights caucus. Jacob . Jacob bam by now, youre likely on one end of the spectrum. Youve either had enough with all of this political talk. Or youre loving every minute of today, i caught up with the two parties about how you can still get into the caucusing game before tomorrow night. It may be difficult to believe that the next president of the United States has been working their way through iowa. Charlie szold, Iowa Republicans you have 10 to 20 candidates stumping across the state. You have millions of dollars in tv ads, newspaper ads and radio ads. Were at the center of the political universe right now. 2008 had record caucus turnout. Anticipating how many people will show up monday night is difficult, even just one day away. Josh levitt, Iowa Democratsl we havent had a caucus quite of this magnitude since then. So, thats one of the reasons its so tough to give an accurate number ahead of time. But getting to your caucus site isnt that simple. You likely wont be headed to the last place you voted. Charlie szold, Iowa Republicans the parties are responsible for putting on the caucuses. So, we have to find the location, we have to staff the locations. Its something thats totally separate from the normal election process. You can log onto the iowa democrat or republican website, and enter your address for where youll caucus. If your address doesnt pop up, work backwards from the secretary of states website. Josh levitt, Iowa Democrats its fun and its important. We have a very lively and engaging process, and if someone has never been to our caucus on before, its very simple. Both parties recommend getting to your location at least an hour ahead of time. Charlie szold, Iowa Republicans there might be a long line waiting to get in. Now, dont be discouraged. Wait it out. You know, 30 minutes, youll be really happy that you did, and you got to caucus, and hopefully helped elect the next president of the United States. And as thousands prepare for caucus night, both sides expect the numbers to approach record levels once again. Josh levitt, Iowa Democrats were expecting a very strong turnout. Obviously in 2008, we had an exceptional year with very high turnout and what were seeing for many months now is that people are really energized and enthusiastic about our candidates. Jacob bam Party Members say its not a Party Members say its not a huge Time Investment to find out which candidate youd like to caucus for. They say its best to start your elimination process with issues that matter most to you, before you make your decision. Live in the studio, jacob peklo, local five news. We are iowa. Jack ots a mailer put out by the Ted Cruz Campaign is tonight. Some iowans are receiving letters. Rating their personal voting record. The mailer is a yellow piece of paper telling folks they need to caucus to raise their rating and they have a quote voting violation. This is not sitting well with iowa secretary of state paul pate. Jack pate released a statement saying, there is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting. Any insinuation or statement to the contrary is wrong and i believe it is not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses.

But poll numbers, of stopping working hard to get people out to vote for candidates tomorrow. Stephanie once the presumed front runner, jeb bush, is now registering 4 percent in the polls. Jeb hasnt spent much time in iowa lately, but his Campaign Says they still plan on doing well caucus night. I think our expectations are to do very very well to have a strong showing here its the first step in the process and we feel that iowa understands that we need to elect a commander in chief someone that can fix the mess thats been left in washington dc and they understand that jeb bush is the best qualifed indvidual to do that job jack 2lam ben carson sits at fourth in that Des Moines Register poll. And in the carson camp, theres talk about Des Moines Register poll. And in the carson camp, theres talk about manipulation of the iowa caucus. There is a lot of manipulation, theres no question about that. I dont know if id go so far as to say that the entire process was rigged, but there is enormous manipulation. No question about that. Is there any way for that to be fixed . About the only way its going to be fixed is for us to put people in office who have real integrity. A lot of real energetic people who really care about the future of this country. I believe that our speakers at our caucuses are very passionate people. I believe theyre going to be very effective. Stephanie 2lam the winner of the Iowa Caucuses back in again this year. But not doing as well either. Were talking about mike huckabee.

We have you covered coming up on local 5 sports see who takes the number one spot in our hearts this week with a play worthy of praise. Now, local 5 sports with Jon Schaeffer. We every week we seem to find a way to show you something new and unique in our no different. Its that time again folks. Time for you to sit back relax and let us show you the best of the best from the week that was lets check out our top 5 plays of the week all made by local athletes. Play number five sent in by the iowa wild and the rarely seen goalie fight this is like spotting big foot it happens but you need video proof. Steven michalek making his ahl debut for the wild already helped his team to a 51 lead then drops the mitts. Eventually landing a big right and the take down. Michalek showing grit, grind, and a willingness to doeceedoe to help motivate his team. I think its safe to say he did a little more than that getting a win in this fight and in his first ever regular season game with the wild. Play number four comes from dowling and centennial. The maroons sam ingoli has shown handles off before but this time he puts it full spin cycle splits the defenders and the dish. If you were giving points for style on assists in basketball they would have ended the game right there and then. Ingoli made this look easier than the lay up to finish it off its dizzying to watch but you from the sophomore yes he still has 2 more years left to impress us with moves like a dagger slicing and dicing the defense. Play number three its a three for one deal. Douglas wilson is so good he has a sports brand named after him. Okay not really but he has pretty much cemented a spot in this countdown with not one not two but three dunks in the first quarter. The third one is what i picture the kid from space jam in the opening scene jumping like. He is the main reason i will only call hoover the high flying huskies. I mean per faa regulation you need an oxygen supply when at this altitude. He might want a space suit lets be real. Great dunk by douglas the dougie wilson. Play number two we go back to the wild thank you again josh fisher and the wild organization for the video Michael Keranan has some saucy paws check out the back hand top shelf short side where grandma hides the cookies. Watch again he is straddling the goal line and somehow finds the only opening to beat the goalie with just call him the magic man. Keranen may be swedish but he was one hundred this play Michael Keranen with the number 2 play of the week absolutely filthy goal for the wild on tuesday night against chicago. Finally play number one iowa state and kansas this one i know had cyclone fans in a tizzy. The strip by nader the outlet ahead to morris and monte morris only weighs a buck 75 the lightest on the Cyclones Team but look at him take the contact off balance falling to the hardwood still gets the lay in to go this would put iowa state up 5. Another look morris unafraid of the looming defender wayne seldon junior who is 230 pounds he has 55 pounds on morris so you know that contact isnt soft by any means. But still morris gets it to drop and iowa state gets the win over number 4 kanasas. Monte morris number 11 in your programs, number one in our hearts in our local 5 top five plays of the week jon 3shot so some great plays jack i know you were there for that goalie fight by michalek.

Enjoy your sunday evening nikki jon is here now and the iowa to bounce back today after a loss to maryland on thursday. Jordan yeah guys a showdown with a struggling Northwestern Team today in iowa city. Coming up on local 5 sports well show you how big iowa showed up today. Now, local 5 sports with Jon Schaeffer. We jordan the streaks is over. A 7468 loss to maryland on thursday ended iowas 9 game winning streak and 13 game big ten winning streak dating back to last season. Now the iowa hawkeyes have to bounce back against a pesky northwestern squad. Jared uthoff trying to bounce back from a 2 for 13 performance maryland. And he did just that. 1st half, uthoff in the corner. Knocks down the three. Then its uthoff again from long range, good for three. Now off the miss, uthoff with the putback slam he had 10 of iowas first 12 points but the wildcats would take the lead. Tre demps drops in the bomb from three. He led all scorers with 30 but iowa would put together a 140 run to retake the lead. Peter jok good for three. Jok finished with 26 points. Then its uthoff the pump fake draws the foul and one uthoff had 19 of his 23 points in the first half hawks up 4226 at the break. And theyd never look back. Iowa moves to 110 on the year and back into a tie for first in the big 10. 8571 we go to alex giaimo who has more from iowa city. After coming off their first big ten loss of the season the hawkeyes bounced back in a big way today with a dominant performance over northwestern. Jarrod uthoff led the team in the first half but in the second part of the game it was all peter jok. Fran Mccaffery you know it stretches the defense so you know you see clemmons driving to the hole, gesell driving to the the hole, screens or slipping to the basket and it because you got to go out and guard those guys at the same time. Jarrod Uthoff its easier to lock up one person because you can get fivr guys defending one good guy. When you talk about two people that can start going and can get going in a hurry. It spreads the floor and makes the defense look around because theres less people to help. peter jok i mean i was just aggressive. When you are hot like that you dont want to pass up a lot of shots. You just got to be aggressive and um my teammates kept telling me to be aggressive that kept finding me and telling me to shoot and im not going to say no to that. Anthony Clemmons thats what makes our Team Dangerous you know because we got a lot of different weapons you never know whos going to step up and make those type of plays. Tonight it was jarrod and pete pretty much the usual they are going to get theirs. But to be able to have three other guys that can go off for twenty or make an impact on the game. Thats what makes our team pretty deadly. alex giaimo the hawkeyes are now more than halfway through this big ten season they have a quick turnaround now they take on penn state right here at Carver Hawkeye arena on wednesday night. In iowa city with your hawkeye headquarters report, alex giaimo, local 5 sports. Valley hoops, uni hosting Southern Illinois at the mcleod center. First half.
