This is the first time that weve seen drug abuse rise as the most important issue, anywhere near this level. For the last 15 years its been at about 1 mrs, 2 . Josh but now a full area of the state sees the heroin issue as the most important problem facing New Hampshire, ahead of jobs, economy, education and health care. And this poll also reveals theres a good chance that you know someone using heroin. Nearly half of the state says they know someone personally who has abused heroin in the last five years.

Real substantive dialogue on the issue of race in america. Lets get further into the subject on dialogue. I see a sign in the audience right there on the front row. It says black lives matter. Very plain and reasonable thats that the clarion call of all the arches in rallies and protests that have taken place ever since Michael Brown was killed this summer and yet just this morning i watched a Major Network interview a police chief and that police chief kept saying black people still want us in their neighborhoods. They keep calling us and they want us there. They dont seem to get the point that its not that black people dont want them there its just that they dont want them shooting unarmed black man. Question what can the media do to finally get that and report that . Anybody . Thats something that the white house had to deal with because here you have a black president who has taken the forefront talking about trayvon and things of that nature. When the situations have happened with
Four years later the squadron was operational and we built nearly 3,000 of them. Compare that to the f22. In 1981 the air force established a requirement for 750 advanced tactical fighters. It wasnt until 2005, 24 years later, that the f22 was first introduced and instead of 750 of them, we bought 195.

Things have to change. We have the unfortunate tendency to fix organizational problems with more organization. Ive seen estimates that show 1 3 of the acquisition budget goes to overhead costs. This system is so gummed up it is a wonder things come out the other end. To have a military that is strong and agile means that we cannot tolerate the delays and cost overruns that have plagued our procurement system. Every delay means that technology doesnt get to the t
It is huge, it is with mitt romneys announcement is going to be bigger than we thought might be more disjointed. If anybody is making a prediction about that theyre crazy but i think is more likely to be romney clinton. What do you think, bill . It is good to see you this morning. I hope you recognize how fortunate you are to have brian lamb here today. We have a lot of fun. You should consider yourself lucky. I do think it is going to end up being jeb bush and Hillary Clinton and i am already bored to death. It is the worst thing that could happen to either party. On the republican side at least the way i see it, he should have been president , he would have been routine and had not been summarized. He was the pick of the litter and we ended up with a dimmer poll metaphors all over the place but george got it, he didnt. Lost the chance and doesnt mean you get a third one. I dont think the nation is ready for a third bush. As someone who knows about a competitive race for 20 years it i
