i bettes probably ready to take a lot of shots. let's face it, shannon, probably the reason he didn't get in so early. >> reporter: could be. could be. also, that -- he says that he was contemplating and mulling it over. could be that he wanted for the other republicans to duke it out as long as they could, as long as they would before he formally jumped in. but now that he's in this race, drew, you're absolutely right, they'll be coming after him hard. >> one more question about the other potential candidate who is cruising around that fair ground. sarah palin, any idea when, if she might test the waters here? >> reporter: well, she has officially said by september sometime that she will make a decision. but our peter ham by and don lemon they were out talking to her. it's a huge earth shattering decision she has to make she said. she want to take her time. >> shannon, thanks from iowa. now we go to the cnn newsroom, continuing with brooke baldwin. >> don't go far. i want to talk to you about that piece in mississippi. hello to yo

>> i'm not sure we can do much bett about it.d to the extent that the line of communication remains solid, then i think at least we have a way of knowing what is going on on the ground, what the plans are. in fact, the muslim brotherhood may be emerging as a more moderate force in egyptian politics than we have seen before because there are some extreme elements if we want to turn that country into a real religious state under sheria law which would prevent problems certainly for the egyptian people and also for the entire region, i think. so maintaining close communication with the egyptian military, we know that field marshall is a man that has stability, although he's come under criticism lately. we had close communications with him over the years. and i think that will be important in terms of what role egypt will play, whether a support role or a destabilizing role. i suspect the former not the latter. >> mr. secretary, having served in the u.s. senate for quite some time and certainly in the clinton administration, you've s

they seem to have a better bett- >> it might be generational. think about it, mark zucker zuckerberg in the internet. we talk to them as young men. they are men in the late 30s gets towards 40. they are not there yet. they are certainly of ceo age. larry is. i think the question is really, you know, whether google can successfully integrate those products. and into it's core there. i think now they understand how important it is. and in their previous earlier efforts they didn't treat that with the same priority as certainly as they are treating it now. but, you know, you saw as facebook became more and more successful, facebook, i guess, mooned the giant google. now google has it's attention focused, you know, very keenly on this area there. google has assets to bring to bear. they know about the people that use it. they know about the context. we just saw product plus one. they are going to try to figure out who they know. they will search for something and see one the folks in your social circle likes one the results that came up. there's thi

the past 90 days, i'd say the rate at which the awareness has been growing as perhaps we have done a bettf making communities an interested stake holder, that has been happening. the president has mentioned it in a couple of speeches. i can tell you it's mentioned in cabinet meetings by other cabinet secretaries, in context of these events, sretary sebelius and we're growing of the awareness. the awareness comes after when you actually needed the awareness, and you have to deal with how do we recover as much of that lapse in times as we can. we've seen good support within the administration so far and working hard on the problem including support from our fellow cabinet agency and agencies like fema, so i don't have that complaint. >> i would add also in the question that this is a month of the most bipartisan of areas. senator shelby certainly from alabama, ed hoff from oklahoma. these are staunch republican senators from staunch republican areas, and the satellite weather forecast chain is as strong there as any place in the country, and i think we recognize that. other questions? >> to
