The chinese. jenna: do you think change is possible? >> i think change is possible if the president is willing to use the leverage that the united states has. all he needs is the political will to be tough. jenna: we didnt even get into talking about debt. thats something that we talk a lot about when it comes to china well ask have you book and the conversation will continue. thank you very much. jon. jon: -pls in that state of the union address, jenna the president was calling for wealthy amer...

Wouldnt look to these people as targets but unfortunately they do, so you have to balance the good work theyre trying to do in these countries with the risk that they take by going in harms way to help out people who need help. jon: the word of this raid was apparently -- well, the raid was still going on while the president was getting ready for or even making his state of the union speech. we heard him saying to leon panetta good job tonight, leon, as he was on his way into the speech. you had...

Tributes to our troops and im thankful he did that. he spent very little time on foreign policy, it was the end of his speech. it almost sounded like he was responding to me. i dont want to flatter myself with that, but that piece came out yesterday and he said everybody who thinks american is -- america is in decline doesnt know what theyre talking about but im afraid thats the perception around the world. were seeing people take action against the united states, such as iran and their dlij ren...

Sort of in romneys favor. its because he is a very organized candidate. he has tons of money, and he has gone about this very methodically. newt gingrich hadnt even been able to get on the ballot in his own home state, which is a testament to his poor organization. but if newt manages to pull off florida, i think all that changes. suddenly momentum becomes very important. he will be in a position to raise a lot of money and i think then he will also have a several-week window where he can at lea...

Florida. if you look at the results from the final two davis th days of the sur sraoe, those conductedafter gingrich one the primary in south carolina newt gingrich is 6 points ahead of romney. charlie hurt watches this closely. what does it say to you. >> it says mitt romney is in real trouble, and at this point we dont know how much trouble, because as you point out it looks like there is a lot of sort of late converts to gingrich. and u know, if were at the very sort of height of gingrichs po...

Be raising taxes on anybody at this point. we should have tax reform to lower the marginal rates and encourage economic growth. we have a real problem in the economy. unemployment is still well over 8 percent, were really not getting into a recovery. i think the president deemphasized that last night. if you want to help people you have to have economic growth and thats not going to come from raising taxes. he could have endorsed the simpson-bowles proposal or other ideas but that didnt come out...

It worked successfully but, you know, i question the timing. jon: well, yeah, the president was heard on a microphone as he was entering the state of the union address last night reaching out to defense secretary leon panetta and saying, good job tonight leon, good job tonight. a lot of people wondered what that was all about, then after the state of the union address we find out about this raid. >> thats right, jon. a raid like this really depends on extremely good intelligence, and sometimes l...

Message with the president and you wonder how it can resonate in a country where were in this space where theres still a lot of dependency on the federal government. >> thats why i think daniels is one of the most effective managers because what he does is lets step way back, as an effective governor in indiana hes actually made things different by wholesale reforms that people when he first got there said are you out of your mind, it will never work, talking about big tax reform, making things ...

Particularly bad day, jenna brings in the whale noise toss put me to sleep in my office. jenna: better than trying to sing you to sleep! >> jon: but no, the interesting thing is they hadnt heard these sounds in the wild, right? they only heard them in captivity, because theyve always been captive dolphins, and to be able to imitate them in their sleep, it just raises all kinds of questions about theirmental abilities and what theyre doing, what thierp trying to say, i guess. >> yeah, because thi...

Short list for vice presidental running mate. mr. romney will be speaking this afternoon. earlier today he had an event at which he basically reacted to the presidents state of the union speech last night and trashed it, as all the republicans have, jenna. little patience for what the president said last night. they said it was the same sort of rhetoric that has failed. and its tone deaf, out of touch and dangerous for the country. there is no doubt that the candidates disagree on a lot of issue...
