Freshman Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) spoke at the Family Leadership Summit on Friday, August 9th in Ames.

President Obama is taking some time off this week and visiting Martha's Vineyard with his family.  Host Ben Kieffer and Thomas Schwartz, director of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch, discuss the history and politics of vacationing presidents.  Also, 2016 maybe closer than it seems with three potential Republican presidential candidates visiting Iowa 29 months before the Iowa Caucus.
