SEVERAL TOPICS THAT HE CALLS PRIORITIES, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION THE CITY’S
CLIMATE ACTION PLAN AND EFFORTS
TO CURB GUN VIOLENCE.
NOW LET’S TURN TO IOWA TONIGHT
FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES ARE TAKING THE STAGE
THIS WEEK.
OUR STEVE SPRIESTER JOINS US
NOW LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DES
MOINES AND STEVE YOU ACTUALLY
SAT DOWN FOR AN EXCLUSIVE
INTERVIEW WITH CANDIDATE AND
FORMER SAN ANTONIO MAYOR
JULIÁN CASTRO HE TALKED ABOUT A
LOT OF THINGS WITH YOU TODAY.
ONE THING HE REALLY HIGHLIGHTED
THOUGH IS WHY THIS IS SUCH AN
IMPORTANT MOMENT IN HIS
CAMPAIGN.
>> IT REALLY
IS MY OR ANY POINT OUT A LOT OF
DIFFERENT THINGS HE WAS VERY
TOUGH ON DONALD TRUMP TODAY, HE
DEFENDED HIS BROTHER, BUT WHAT
HE WAS ALSO POINTING OUT
HE’S JUST HOW CRITICAL THIS
TIME FRAME IS FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.
THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DEBATE
IS IN SEPTEMBER IN HOUSTON.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY DONORS
TO MAKE THIS NEXT DEBATE.
HE HAS AS MANY DONORS AS HE
NEEDS. BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO GET
AT LEAST 2% SUPPORT IN 4
NATIONAL POLLS. HE HAS THAT
MUCH SUPPORT IN 3 NATIONAL POLL
SO FAR
SO HE’S NOT THERE YET. AND THAT
IS WHY THIS IS A CRITICAL
JUNCTURE THEY NEED TO MAKE THAT
DEBATE IN SEPTEMBER.
AND YOU TALKED ABOUT CASTRO
MENTIONING THE BLOWBACK THAT
HIS BROTHER JOAQUIN CASTRO HAS
RECEIVED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
DAYS AFTER HE TWEETED OUT THAT
LIST.
>> OF 40 PLUS MAJOR LOCAL
DONORS TO PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP WHAT DID HE HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT ALL OF THE THE DEBATE
SURROUNDING THAT.
>> HE BASICALLY SAID THAT
NEITHER HE NOR HIS BROTHER WILL
BACK DOWN AND THAT HE SUPPORTS
WHAT HIS BROTHER WAS TRYING TO
ACHIEVE IN WHAT HE PUT OUT AS A
MATTER OF FACT, HERE’S A LITTLE
BIT FROM MY INTERVIEW WITH
THROUGHOUT CASTRO.
>> DONALD TRUMP IS ACTIVELY
FOSTERING HATE AND DIVISION IN
OUR COUNTRY AND PEOPLE WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING TO HIS CAMPAIGN THESE WEALTHY DONORS TO
CONTRIBUTE TO HIS CAMPAIGN.
THEY’RE PUTTING MONEY INTO THE
POCKETS OF POLITICIANS THAT IS
PUTTING ADS ON FACEBOOK
THAT IS SAYING THIS IS AN
INVASION THAT IS CREATING AN
ANTI HISPANIC.
>> ENVIRONMENT IN THIS COUNTRY
AND SO I BELIEVE THAT WHAT MY
BROTHER DID WAS YOU KNOW MAKES
PERFECT SENSE.
>> SO HE WAS VERY CLEAR ON THAT IRA AND YOU KNOW A LOT OF REPUBLICANS INCLUDING THE
PRESIDENT HIMSELF NOT HAPPY
WITH THE FACT THAT JOAQUIN
CASTRO TWEETED OUT THAT LIST.
THEY HAVE BEEN VERY CRITICAL
SAYING THAT HE WAS ONLY DOING
THIS TO HELP HIS BROTHER’S
CAMPAIGN. NO MATTER WHY HE DID
IT OR WHAT HIS MOTIVES WERE I
MEAN THESE ARE PUBLICLY
AVAILABLE NAMES, BUT THAT
DOESN’T MEAN THAT REPUBLICANS
HAVE TO BE HAPPY WITH THE FACT
THAT THEY WERE MADE. A PART OF
A TWITTER FEED I GUESS YOU’D
SAY.
>> NOW SEE WE’RE USED TO SEEING
YOU HEAR ON THE NEWS AT 9 ON
FRIDAY NIGHT FOR SPREE THOUGHTS
YOU’RE NOT HERE WITH US
OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE IN DES
MOINES, BUT WE KNOW SOMETHING
DID CATCH YOUR CURIOSITY.
THERE THIS WEEK THAT YOU WANT
TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT.
IT’S NOT ALL
POLITICS AT THE IOWA STATE FAIR
MEYER MYRA AS A MATTER OF FACT
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE BEST
WAY TO GET ON A COW’S, GOOD
SIDE.
>> YOUR BUTTER HIM UP.
THERE IS A HUGE BUTTER
COW IN A REFRIGERATOR AT THE
IOWA STATE FAIR IT IS THE ONE
THING THAT EVERYBODY TELLS YOU
YOU MUST SEE
THEY HAVE LITTLE PLUS SHE TOYS
THAT ARE BETTER KAOS
SARAH PRATT HAS BEEN THE
SCULPTOR OF THE BUTTER COW
SINCE 2006, HE’S ONLY LIKE THE
4TH OR 5TH PERSON THAT EVER HAD
THIS JOB SINCE
1911 WHEN THE BUTTER COW WAS
FIRST PUT TOGETHER.
I WAS CURIOUS HOW THIS WHOLE
THING STARTED WHO DECIDED TO
COME UP WITH THE IDEA A COW
MADE A BUTTER. SARAH EXPLAINED
IT TO ME.
THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.
>> IT WAS IT WAS A POPULAR.
ADVERTISEMENT TO GET FOLKS TO
MOVE TO THE MIDWEST BY SAYING
WE HAVE SO MUCH
BUT OR IN THIS CASE THAT WE CAN
BUILD A LIFE-SIZED COW BUT THE
SAME IS TRUE ABOUT FORMER
PALACES AND OTHER SCULPTURES
MADE AT A FOOD AND SO IT WAS
REALLY STARTED AS AN
ADVERTISEMENT TO GET FOLKS TO
MOVE THEIR FAMILIES TO THE
MIDWEST.
>> SO IT WASN’T JUST COWS THERE
WAS A
BIG BIRD MADE OUT OF BUTTER
THERE WAS A COOKIE MONSTER MADE
OUT OF BUTTER THERE WAS A
TELEVISION MADE OUT OF BUTTER
THERE WAS A RECLINER MADE OUT
OF BUTTER. BUT THE BUTTER COW
NOW A COW
NOW, A DAIRY COW MADE OUT OF
BUTTER SCULPTED OUT OF WATER
WAS CLEARLY THE MAIN ATTRACTION
AND I DO HAVE TO SAY AS A DAIRY
COW MADE A BUTTER IT WAS
UTTERLY UM YEA AMAZING MIGHT.
