Makes no obama apologies for the deal that led to bergdahls release even after criticism continues from members of congress. We want to hear your thoughts this morning. Republicans can call host you can also catch up with us on your favorite social media pages. Host good friday morning to you. The headline in the washington post, obama says no apologies for bergdahl release deal. Thursdayt obama said he cannot give up the chance to save one more life in the war. [video clip] we have a basic principle. We do not leave anybody wearing the american uniform behind. We had a prisoner of war whose health had deteriorated and we were deeply concerned about, and we saw an opportunity and we seized it and i make no apologies for that. We had discussed with congress the possibility that something ike this might occur. But because of the nature of the folks we were dealing with and the fragile nature of these negotiations, we felt it was important to go ahead and do what we did. We are now explai
Utah . What would you like to accomplish as the rest of your term as governor . Our goal is to be the number one economy in america and a Global Business destination. That was my first inaugustal arrest. I think every poll situation should have a goal of a healthy economy. If you get the economy right Everything Else falls into place. It does not matter what your issue is. It could be Education Funding transportation, infrastructure needs, health and Human Services needs. It becomes easier if you have a healthy, growing economy. Very difficult if you have a stagnant economy, which weve seen so much across the country for so many years now. Again, my focus will continue to be, always number one, have the most healthy economy we can there america and be a premier destination. Well continue to stay the course of folks in growing the economy. All weekend long, American History tv is featuring featuring the history of Salt Lake City, utah.

Served in congress and a number of different intelligence committees along the way and now runs and general keith alexander, who just left eight years . Is it eight years at nsa. The last year was a doozy. [laughter] leave theirtry to last year at their job quietly, but general alexander decided that would be too boring. So, my hope today is to pick up from where the panels were, talk a little bit about the role of intelligence in some of these individual cases, and then look forward to where these tools are going, how theyve been affected by some of the recent disclosures, but also begin to talk about what kind of utility they could have that we havent thought of yet, that, you know, where this may be where this may be headed. I thought that one place to start might be with the question of whats worked, and what hasnt. Something that you heard tom donilon and steve hadley take up, and mr. Donilon made the point that, for example, weve been much more successful in the sanctions impleme
News just like it doesnt exist. It really tells you what john the democrats are going to try to use this as a wedge issue while the republicans try to use benghazi as their wedge issue. I suspect both topics may go away as of november 7th. Hopefully not. I think that the president did a fantastic job last night on jay leno saying that he basically said that male politicians should not be making decisions for women. Thats what a lot of women feel. John such a pleasure to have you both here. Does Colin Powells endorsement mean anything . Not as much as it did in 2008. He used to be the war hero when he was with bush. Now he endorses obama. It is all colin powell. I think if he endorsed romney, that would be a big irstory bigger story. John i think youre right. Tina depue and eric boehlert, two of the smartest people i know. Thank you both so much for your time tonight. A programming note, governor Eliot Spitzer will be back tomorrow live from l. A. Where hes also appearing on real time w
Surrogates claiming that mitt romney now carries the momentum into the homestretch. That was bushs education czar. The Romney Campaign even put out a web video titled momentum. Three minutes plus it intercuts lots of patriotic scenes with lots of shots of smiling mitt and his pal paul ryan. Two guys totally opposed to gay marriage who look like theyre about to announce one anticipating that a tide of dissolution voters will easily sweep them into office. However, the numbers suggest that while this race is exceptionally tight momentum may be more of a talking point for the Romney Campaign than an actual fact. True, the latest abc News Washington post poll shows romney leading president obama by 3 points and governor romney enjoys the same lead over the president in gallups sevenday tracking poll. But romney has been up as much as seven points in gallups National Polling so it dropped to three from seven doesnt exactly sound like momentum right now. Looking at the allimportant swing sta
