Week In The News: Speaker Ryan, GOP Debate, Blimp On The Loose (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Debate fireworks this week with the GOP in Colorado. Economy talk. Tax talk. A lot of heat about the questions. And a field in play. In the House, a new Speaker. Paul Ryan. And a budget deal on the Hill through 2017. That’s different. We had a massive Army blimp on the loose. More frank talk about new US operations – some call it combat – on the ground in Iraq. We’ve got Syria talks, Iran included. A US warship challenging Chinese claims in the South China Sea. A girl down in a South Carolina classroom. And bacon issues. This hour On Point — our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. -Tom Ashbrook
