Jack new at six an iowa lawmaker is speaking out on the refugee debate. Jack lam senator Chuck Grassley spoke to media earlier today about the president s decision to let Syrian Refugees into the u. S. Dozens of governors including Iowa Governor branstad are saying theyll bar Syrian Refugees from their states. Theyre worried that terrorists could masquerade as refugees to get into the us. Senator grassley agrees with them and says governor branstad is in quote good company with those other governors. I think the president is in denial. Hes contributing all sorts of political motivation. And hes not assuming what the number one responsibility of the fed government is and thats to protect americans from from International Threats only the federal government can do that. The refusal by little though. Only the federal limit or control immigration, based on long standing law and the us constitution. Individual states can limit or deny services to refugee populations. Thats what governor branstad is calling for. Jack want to share your opinion on refugees coming to the us. You can post you thoughts on facebook and twitter. We may use your comments on air.

Just click on the share it tab jack 2bam im here with sports director jon schaeffer, and jon cold weather but thankfully tomorrows 3a title game will be in the dome. Jon 2bam yeah jack pella and norwalk collide. Coming up on local 5 sports well hear from pellas coach mckinstrey and what he says about his district 7 rival norwalk. Now, local 5 sports saturday doesnt look all that great for the hawkeyes game against purdue. Maybe thats why the game has a couple thousand seats left . But really . Come on people this game could clinch the first big west title in program history. Alex giaimo tells us more from iowa city. With a win on saturday iowa clinches a Big Ten West Division title an objective theyve been targeting since day one of preseason. cj beathard yea it means a lot one of our goals in the offseason was to get to this point and right now weve put ourselves in a spot to get to be at this point but you know we are just trying to improve each week. tevaun smith it would be a great thing for us, especially as a senior, you know just finishing out the season in such a great way. It would be good for a lot of us and, of course, good for the rest of the players and the coaching staff, as well. kirk ferentz its mathematical i mean if we win then we are in i guess right. Not to get cute but thats, thats the way it is so thats a really good thing. alex giaimo this week the head coach is taking a step back from his one game at a time policy to remind his players that clinching the West Division isnt the end because they still have one extremely important game left in lincoln, nebraska on black friday. kirk ferentz but we are not done yet so i mean well acknowledge that privately and then we are going to have to move fast towards that next game because its going to come quick for us and they already got their sights on us so we are going to have some time to make up for. jordan canzeri its exactly what we wanted to do since the offseason and thats our goal but for us obviously we are focusing one game at a time. But coach ferentz has mentioned that this is the game we need to focus on get this one done and if we win this one then we clinch but we dont want to ease up after that. giaimo not looking past purdue. But looking forward to finishing out strong in nebraska. With your hawkeye headquarters report in iowa city, alex giaimo. The hawkeyes and boilermakers kick off at 11am saturday at kinnick. Jon im proud of hawkeye nation i have yet to hear a complaint from iowa fans on being ranked 5th. Rightly so. The hawkeyes are right where they belong two wins over top 25 teams both on the road. Who carescolin cowherd if the hawkeyes non conference foes arent bama, or Florida State or notre dame iowa has done exactly what they should thats win. If they keep doing that theyre a lock for the playoff. But ive said it once and ill say it again these rankings do not matter at this point for the hawkeyes. They may matter for notre dame and some of the other one loss teams but for iowa they will not matter until december 6th when the final rankings come out. They lose at any point in the next three weeks this discussion is over. If they beat purdue and nebraska then take down michigan, Michigan State or ohio state these people hating on the iowa schedule go away and iowa will be put in that final 4. So iowa fans hold your breath its going to be a wild ride full of firsts for the hawkeyes over the next three weeks and just relax as long as they keep winning they will not be shut out. Jon switching gears to high school football. The pella dutch are after their second consecutive 3a state title. The dutch won the schools first ever football championship last season and wanting more. To claim the back to back title theyll have to take down disctrict 7 rival norwalk. This is a rivalry that has grown a lot this season for the dutch. But theyre very very talented very Athletic Team and they are every year. It certainly was a challenge the game the first time and every team is going to improve throughout the season norwalk is no different and theyve gotten to be a very good football team. Certainly be a challenge playing them in the championship game. The 3a championship kicks off at 7 06 pm from the dome. Jon sx3s stephanie sx3s jack sx3s well be right back.
