    With only 74,000 jobs created last month, who or what is to blame? Matt Miller asks why there is not real jobs agenda. How has federal spending hurt or helped? Has New Jersey Governor Chris Christie solved his Bridge-gate troubles, or is his image permanently tarnished? Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates came out with a scathing memoir about his time under President Obama. Rich Lowry says if you are outraged enough to want to resign from your post at the White House, maybe you should resign instead of keeping notes for your memoir. Special guest and former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, who joins us on the Left, says a president who loses sleep at night over a war, is the president he wants. And new Gallup poll shows Independents are the new largest political group.
