times who runs a website. this is hollywood s victory. they won on gay marriage. they won on marijuana, they won on abortion. this is hollywood vision of the country just won a huge victory. jon: there are huge issues. you have iran pursuing the bomb. you have north korea having the bomb. there are all kind of problems out in the world and the president is going to have to deliver. how are the media going to cover it? i hope they cover with more skepticism than we have done the first time. why is it the famous shooting down, non-shooting down of the drone story only got released after the election and not before? eventually the media have to say wait a minute, why aren t we finding these out in a timely matter. and we were negotiating with
rob, help me out here. what s going on? they re filing out, don. they ve just suspended festivities at lollapalooza because of the line of storms that s moving in the last couple years we ve had a rash of accidents and unfortunate events with concerts and outdoor venues during summer time severe weather events like we re having right now. that s what s happening out at lollapalooza. we have another tower cam showing michigan avenue outside of our cnn bureau there in chicago. traffic at a standstill there as skies are darkening and things are getting a little more ominous. let s show you the radar and show you this nasty line of storms which has been producing damaging winds from davenport, iowa and east into northern illinois. it s about to slam into chicago. already some of the western suburbs reporting 60 and 70-mile-per-hour winds. that yellow box you see there is a severe thunderstorm watch box. it s been posted. that s in effect for the next couple hours and will be ex
two u.s. attorneys to investigate leaks. republicans said it s not enough. i don t know how carney can say what he is saying and he is repeating what the president said on friday when he said, the writers of the article themselves stated it didn t come from the white house. how is that possible when one of the articles on stusnex has the author saying it came from three dozen current/former advisors, interviews with them. on the drone story, the author is quoting members of the president s national security team. in reporting about a meeting, a secret situation of a meeting. how could that not be coming from the white house? how can you possibly say that the writer is saying it didn t come from the white house? obviously it did. who else was in the room? pizza delivery guy? plummer in the corner working on the sink? it had to be somebody from the president s entourage. this is a real contradiction that has to be examined.
temporarily. a former head of the democratic party says, we are a nation of wusses. we will get ed rendell to explain. we begin with a developing story as to leaked intelligence that congressional officials say is putting american lives at risk. the top republicans and democrats on the house senate intelligence committee, house and senate intelligence committees say they will find and plug what one calls a cascade of national security leaks. this is not finger pointing at anybody. what we are trying to do is say we have a problem and we want to stop that problem. when people say they don t want to work with the united states because they can t trust us to keep a secret, that s serious. senator john mccain accuses members of the obama administration of leaking secrets to make the president look good in an election year. well, the white house flatly denies it. our senior congressional correspondent, dana bash, asked the top republican on the intelligence committee wheth
this is important, because it s the last day before the iowa caucuses, just 19 days away. and while newt gingrich remains the national front-runner, he has been losing steam. take a look at the latest poll. this is a gallup poll that shows in the beginning of december, just ten days ago, 37% of republican voters say they will pick newt. 22% picked mitt romney. but here s how it looks now. newt s number has dropped to 29%. romney, as no doubt he s incredibly frustrated by, remains the same. but it doesn t go down, remains around the same, 24%. as we ve seen in this race, anything can happen in the next few weeks. the swings have been dramatic and certainly didn t require 19 days. so how did the candidates do at the debate tonight? game changers? joining us now, john avalon, contributor. david frum, former speechwriter for george w. bush, and ron christie, national republican editor for govote.com. good to have all of you with us. let s get straight to it. first, let s start wi
