Well get to your thoughts in just a second. How you decide on a candidate, theres the question for you. The phone lines are open. Start dialing in now. Politico has this headline. Gop sets sights on bigger house gains. And in it they report the House Republicans have been destined for modest gains in the midterm despite a favorable political environment. Now just five weeks until election day the party is raising its ambitions, long thought to be beyond the gops reach. The goal, achieve the biggest House Majority since Harry Trumans presidency. The National Republican Congressional Committee reserved millions of dollars of tv advertising time in two house districts. One in upstate new york, the other in northern maine, that broke sharply for obama in the 2012 election. Gop prospects have been on the rise. Thats what the republica
Protecting the first family in the white house. He has full confidence in the professionals to do their job. April. Josh, i want to ask you a question. Is there concern within the white house that when the leaves, that there is a little bit more of a relaxed attitude, as when he goes to camp davis or somewhere else . I see what youre getting to, and i think this is a legitimate line of angry. Line of inquiry. The fact that the first family was not at home, did that have by bearing on the response the secret service to the breach of the perimeter . This is among the things that will be part of the review that in response toed the breach of the perimeter fence. I will reserve judgment here and refer to the experts youre taking a careful look at this. Again, to the extent that the secret service can release the results of this report, there will obviously be parts they cannot release, but to the extent they are able to do so, they will investigate that. Was the president told himself how
We need to make sure the second isdest target on earth through with reality and in the minds of anyone who might take on the secret service to get to the president or first family. Without a recognized the member for his Opening Statement. Thank you. With an obvious premise. No individual should be allowed to feel scaled the fence at the white house, sprint across the north lawn, and burst into the residence of the first family with 11. No one. Our goal today is also clear, to determine how this happened and make sure it never happens again. This is our watch. This recent incident unfortunately causes many people a ask whether or not there is much broader problem with the secret service. Last night the Washington Post reported Omar Gonzalez made his way into the east room. Another incident in 2011 about a shooting raises more questions about the competency and culture of this delete agency. Most about this report is agents said they were hesitant.

Revenue so we can get a hold on that issue. One of the examples, one thats got a lot of press not too long parking operations here and received a payment of 483 million to put into the endowment. The 483 million generates revenue every year that goes to support pack faculty but also scholarship support and other things. Those are things i think institutions have to look at, too, with creative ways to that fund the university that is not on the backs of students by simply increasing tuition every year. Those are the kinds of things we need to do. Real quickly because we only have a minute left. Diversity, andne how do you achieve that . Another great question. Diversity to us is on every single dimension. Diversity ofave a income backgrounds of our students. It means a diversity of representations of under represented minorities. A diversity of the countries that our students come from. So there is probably not a dimension that we do not look at when it comes to diversity, because we be
What we are doing is making sure that we are making steady progress. Heading up the infrastructure that will allow us to compete with massachusetts who are doing some of these things long before we were. In the last two quarters of 2013 when we outgrew every state in new england. Tom has made statements, things like not as many jobs as we said, thats wrong. Total privatesector job growth over the time of our administration is much more than 60,000. At the same time government has gotten smaller. Government has gotten smaller while i have been governor of the state of connecticut. Sure, we should be more efficient. Sure, we should be investing in technologies we did not have in our state previously. When i inherited this state because you elected me governor, the Largest Department spending 18 of our money was operating on a format from the effective age of 1989. Im sorry to cut you off. Now onto the rebuttal phase. Mr. Foley. Im glad the governor brought up his experience in stamford.
