Piers Morgan was live tonight with the latest on the two big news stories: Pres. Barack Obama's speech on jobs and the "specific, credible but unconfirmed" terror threat. "This group is dangerous, they are committed to further attacks on the United States," said Sen. Jeff Sessions. "I'm hopeful that we'll be successful in following up on these leads."

And of the job speech: "In the long run, the President failed tonight to look the American people in the eye and tell them that we are in a dangerous problem, and the greatest problem is the debt."

Piers Morgan interviewed New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman last night on "Piers Morgan Tonight," and GOP presidential primary frontrunner Rick Perry came up. "Rick Perry's state is on fire," said Friedman of Perry's views on global warming. "It's now experiencing the worst wildfires in its history, which fits in exactly with the predictions of climate change...it's actually happening under his nose, climate change, and he's denying it."

Friedman also discussed the possibility of Perry winning in 2012. "It's scary to me," he said.
