he sat down with katie couric and spoke about the different approach he would take if he ever runs for office again. >> one thing is that i would spend a great deal of time taking my message to hispanic americans, african-americans, asian americans and describing why it is that conservative principles are best for them and their families. that's something i wish i had spent more time doing. we would have taken ad dollars as well and responded to some of the attacks that came our way, some of them below the belt. there were some things that came against us in hispanic media, but also in english media that were not accurate and we should have fought back hard against those things. >> beth that struck me as probably honest or candid in that he's going back over the things he didn't like that he thinks contributed to his loss which is not the political answer you always get. >> it did strike me as candid but sounded a little cynical. he had that option in 2012 if he wanted to take his message to those constituencies, he could have done it. but the decision was made they were not going to v

global news anchor katie couric the questions raised about why clinton used private e-mail during hered it a mess. >> i mean we've seen this before. i mean it's always something with the clintons. which is that they have rules which they describe before they get into something and then they decide they don't have to follow their own rules and that i think is going to be a real problem for her. >> if you want to watch katie's full exclusive interview with mitt and ann romney logon to yahoo!.com. >>> a new twist in the controversy over the hit song "blurred lines." a jury last week awarded marvin gaye's kids more than $7 million saying "blurred lines" copied part of gaye's song "got to give it up" but his children say that's not enough saying they're ago to stop the sale and distribution of "blurred lines" altogether until an agreement is reached on how to split the royalties. >>> finally, march madness tips off today. robin is rubbing her hands together with anticipation as you know. there will be plenty of rebounds most likely however, none of them like this one. in last night's quali

. >> i have to ask you to emulate katie couric casey, can you explain what meerkat is?at is. i have learned a lot about it myself over the course of the last week. i had not done too much with it since then. the kernel of this technology will be out in other apps as well. twitter owns one called perry scope, msnbc owns one called string wire. this makes it possible for you to live stream video from your phone with literally one click of a button. and with the broadband infrastructure available on the phones t makes it so you can broadcast from wherever you are at any point. and this is a dramatic change from 2012. as you pointed out. i was talking yesterday with the former digital director of the romney campaign zack moffett, he was talking about how they tried to execute something like this during the 2012 campaign. they tried to hire a staffer to cart around at the time what was a backpack that would allow them to live stream the romney events. they found it was so hard to do that they eventually gave up on this. and this will change that dramatically and entirely. >>

. >> it reminds me of that katie couric bryant gumble commercial that aired during the super bowl. >> then about.com sprung up. >> it was eventually sold to "the new york times" but founder scott kurnit the marn behind about.com and prodigy became a serial tech starter-upper it says here. he joins us to talk about nasdaq's return to 5,000 and the state of the tech economy then and now. scott, good to see you. welcome back. it's been a while. >> nice to see you. two things i'm hoping milk chocolate will be okay at some point, and because you did a lot on ibm, ibm and sears were really the owners of prodigy. cbs bailed pretty quickly after they started it. so it was an ibm/sears fiasco i think we'd call it in hindsight. >> i look back on the '90s and all the tech startups i like to say at the time that technology was coming up with answers for which there were no questions yet. you know the technology was there, but we didn't know what to do with it. now we do. that's a big difference between then and now, isn't it? >> well it's interesting. that's true. i like to look at whatever peopl
