People. Another roughly 50 people online participating. What kind of a difference will that make . Right now the latest poll before the holidays, senator cruz was leading in iowa. Trump was close behind. Marco rubio, after that with significant dropoff. And in fifthmpaign place, jeb bush. Will stay the same, the importance of these early contests and the difference they could make. I dont think a difference in a loss in iowa for the clinton wont be decisive. A win in iowa on the public and side may not be decisive but could turn the campaign. 2008,think back to president obamas Campaign Manager says everyone looks back and says you can see how it developed. Them, every battle was won iowa or be out of the race. They won iowa, went to New Hampshire, lost New Hampshire, but made enough of a showing to go to south carolina. There was a small window there in the Obama Campaign and they saw the window and was able to make that into a path. Path, but nevertheless, a path to victory. As we pu
Possible to bring similar prestigious events to Northern Ireland in the future . I will certainly look at that. I believe it really is the right decision, for the g8 to be based in ireland on the 17th and 18th of june, and what i thought was interesting yesterday standing there talking about the situation, something that would have been unthinkable 20 years ago, to have that sort of event with so many World Leaders coming to Northern Ireland, that i think it would be a great advertisement for everything that people in Northern Ireland can achieve and, i hope, the harbinger of events to come. Does the Prime Minister agree that the United States loss of its aaa rating shows that the u. K. Retains the confidence of the market because of the difficult but necessary decision that is we are take decisions that we are taking . Because weve set out a clear plan, were able to have low interest rates, were able to have International Confidence which is the proper growth plan for the u. K. Order.
Allow virtually along with the Intelligence Community to make this country safer. Host new jersey, democratic caller, good morning. Caller i have a question about the quality of the cyberspace to to the fact that there is so many outlets with apps and everything going on. These we cannot even get something simple like train procedures that will bring suspicious problems going on where i will give you an example. Like the terrorist attacks of 9 11, the pilots from the countries we were not aware of some of these people. They were trained to land a plane and not take off a plane, but not land a plane. Isnt that like an open sore right there . Host thanks. Guest i think one of the points i would make based on the color bangs comment is the need for intelligence. The caller talks about, as it relates to terrorism, people willing to fly planes but people learning to fly planes cannot land of them. That is indicative of a nefarious act. Intelligence is the key to understanding exactly what i
Kalb. [applause] hello and welcome to the National Press club. I am marvin kalb. The conversation with ted koppel about democracy and the press. If i use the word twilight to suggest that network news, as we have known it, is on its way out and as something new is emerging. Whether what is new will satisfy the urgent needs of our democracy cannot be noted at this time. Lets hope that it will. Without a free and occasionally rambunctious media, we will not be living in an open society. The free press and an open society are intimately linked, one dependent on the other. Network news if network news is in its twilight, then perhaps our democracy is facing a turning point as well. I asked an old colleague and a friend, ted koppel, to discuss the changes in network news and what those changes might mean for our society. Ted is known best for his 25 years of anchor and host of nightline, but he has also been a foreign correspondent, a war correspondent, and author, and he has covered Many P
