from last month, you are at half of what consensus was, it is inconsistent with other data. it is worrisome, remember that. if you look within the report, you get pretty worrisome things in terms of what is happening to labor participation. back to levels since february 19 78. long-term unemployment 38%. what is the impact of the weather, how much of this is temporary? it is a shock. >> shocking, yes. mohammed el-erian mentioned the labor force participation rate, 62.8%. the last time it was this low, 1978. jr biglow might have been the economic medicine back down, these days, it is a little bit more obligated. the obama administration is trying to be positive.

numbers, third. they reminded us that there are other issues that are financial soundness. put all this together, this number does not change the expectation that they will continue to taper and exit qe by the end of 2014. it does suggest you will not see a wage hike until 2016. >> the white house is ready with an announcement. >> the president will nominate stanley fischer, former governor of the bank of israel, as well as lael brainard, to the federal reserve board. also, re-nominating jerome powell to continue serving on the board of governors of the federal reserve. >> people were expecting these, but now chairman to the yellen has have people in place. good luck. the scandal that could ruin chris christie or help. we will hear both sides of the debate.

i am adam johnson. bridgegate, the scandal that made a new jersey governor chris christie apologize. >> i believe that all of the people who were affected by this conduct deserve this apology. that is why i am giving it to them. i also need to apologize to them for my failure as the governor of the state to understand the true nature of this problem sooner than i did. >> so they can see receipt began begaincontroversy -- began in september when a massive weeklong traffic jam happened in fort lee, new jersey. this was caused by close access lanes ordered by the port authority on grounds it was conducting a traffic study. there was no study. it had been orchestrated by top officials of christie's staff.

retaliation against the mayor of fort lee for not supporting his reelection campaign. >> i am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team. there is no doubt in my mind that the conduct that they exhibited is completely unacceptable and showed the lack of respect for their role of government. >> we get it, governor, you are sorry. but did you know about it? >> i had no knowledge of this. the planning, execution, or anything about it. i first found out after it was over. even then, what i was told, was that it was a traffic study. there was no evidence to the contrary until yesterday. >> here's the thing, when there is a study, there are people conducting it. and authorizing it, not to

mention the results. in december, when he shrugged off questions, no study had been produced. two port authority officials had resigned. >> he did not know that this was happening, in december, he had close people resigned from the port authority. this is his deputy chief of staff, not someone in an agency, his inner circle. what did he know when he did the press conference, what was he told? it is not just about a lane closure time, what did he know in december, after that. these investigations will get to the bottom of all that. >> let's give governor christie the benefit of the doubt. >> very believable he did not know, i have worked for a number of politicians, you have these offices where they have to do a lot, especially governors offices and presidents that have a lot to do. there are many times that staff members do things on their own. when it comes time to fess up, as the governor try to ask a month ago, it is not surprising that somebody who had a secret,

they know what is about to happen, they hope it goes away on its own. it is very believable. the question is whether the environment and the office of seeking rich mission became becameing retribution commonplace. >> if we assume the staff act without his consent, there is a deeper issue. >> chief executives are responsible for the culture they create. he had people who thought if they did this it would be with his approval and that was consistent -- they clearly thought that. in retrospect, maybe not, he clearly allow that culture. >> will this scandal will hurt chris christie's possible bid for the white house? the jury is divided. >> having worked in politics, it is hard for me to imagine, and the environment he is going to be dealing with in the republican party, this is going to make it very hard.

>> 45 minutes of national airtime trying to pin the governor on bridgegate. i think he looked presidential, he looked contrite, he apologized and fired people. he talked without a teleprompter, he had a political windfall. >> what comes next? >> the u.s. attorney in new jersey has opened a preliminary probe into these lane closures. chris christie used to be the u.s. attorney of new jersey, knows office well, knows what they're doing. preliminary inquiry, i think the point that has been made, if you are chris christie, a very smart and savvy political operator, to come out and make these points, so dead set that he knew nothing about it. he better be darn sure, i imagine he is there is no paper, no way this could be tracked back to him. not only for his political future, but when you get federal prosecutors involved, particularly the current u.s. attorney in new jersey, a veteran of the clinton justice

department, he is not going to put himself in a position where what he is saying today can be used against him. >> governor christie apologized to mayor sokolich for the actions of his staff, including racial slurs. mayor sokolich accepted the apology. content was king at this year's consumer electronics show. hearing from some of the leaders in content and ovation. not all tech innovation happens within the walls of ces. taking you to the tarmac. take a look at these shots of niagara falls. the frigid air from the polar vortex that caused ice formations around niagara falls. according to a tourism website, sometimes it gets so cold that both sides of the falls will freeze, creating an ice bridge. mind-boggling. ♪

wireless is a growth market, that is our objective going forward. >> what about hulu? >> the service that does not have as many commercials? we would be interested in taking a look. anything that can improve the experience of our customers. >> hulu is making shows of its own. here's the company's head of new development. >> it is a little different, we serve many different audiences as opposed to a hearing to a broader 18-year-old 240 nine- year-old demographic. demographic. our service gets to look at different projects and consider who is it for, are they using hulu now or can we bring them onto hulu? >> how do you determine if a show is a hit? what is the way to decide? >> is a qualitative and quantitative judgment, it is popular and people watch it.

we are curious about how it is received by the press and the creative community. >> what is the process of green lighting a show for hulu? is it months, weeks, could it be faster than that? >> anywhere from weeks to months. we try to make it as painless and quick as possible for folks involved, it is a bit of a negotiation once you decide to move forward, there are financial parameters to define as well as rules of the road in terms of creative collaboration. especially with co-production with companies like bbc or lions gate so expectations are managed. >> when it comes to budget and what you are willing to put into a show, what is that process like? do you have to weigh pros and cons? >> we think about how large the audience of the show and how

much do you need for greater production value. a variety of factors in the equation, you think about if we want this level of talent and this type of writing and this type of audience appeal, how much is it going to cost to do that right? >> if we take that and put it in the context of your in your new lineup of shows, how does that play out for 2014? >> we spent more than we ever have, so production helped us raise the bar, we could share the risk and leverage experience in creative relationships. >> hedge fund investor ryan kavanaugh things hulu is on the right track. >> it is a really good time to be in the content creation world, amazon, netflix, hulu, google, at&t and verizon and now cnn. from everywhere you look,

whether it be traditional suppliers, over-the-top suppliers, digital suppliers, nondigital, there is a content frenzy. it is really creating an opportunity where we can give the content the consumer wants over the platform they want at the cost they want. other studios are still stuck in the legacy of putting this out in one way. a little bit more fighting, potentially. >> what is the deciding factor on whether you go to a new platform first? you have tons of television content, a company like netflix, maybe we can try original movies. you have lots of options on where you can put your film and television first. how do you decide? >> there is no first, we really come our model is giving the consumer what they want. it sounds funny, it is not

everybody's model. the joke i tell, you have guys who are 50 years old who run a studio and they have guys who are 40 years old who developed the concept. when they are done spending money, they test it with 18- year-olds. then they say we do not like it, then they spent $30 million trying to fix it. our model has been to do the reverse. use every medium available to the consumer's voice into our films. being exclusive is tough and means we are not giving the consumer what they want, we are giving it away, we are forcing them to have it. >> innovation finding its way into cockpits, airlines replacing flight bags with tablets.

saving a lot on fuel, america has gone with the ipad, delta with the surface. >> captain ruth has been lugging a briefcase for 30 years. inside, mass and operation manuals, all the essentials for every flight. now, a tablet that weighs barely two pounds is about to lighten her load. >> the tablet is one of the biggest steps. it is going to make everybody's life easier. >> here's the catch, other airlines have started using ipads. delta chose the microsoft surface. that's right, the surface. >> you guys did not get ipads? >> when you see this thing, it is sleek, it has a gorgeous -- you can flip the screen. >> delta plans to roll out tablets to all pilots by may, years behind other airlines, but still a major shift at is estimated to save $13 million worth of fuel costs each year.

>> how much have you saved? >> now i do not have to have this all over the place, i can look at it on my tablet instead of a blocking my view. i have it right here. >> the surveys is a piece of technology, there could always be a risk. >> technology overall has been a huge safety improvement. but, there are times when this new technology can confuse pilots or create safety issues. >> do you think it will be less safe when you make a switch to tablet? >> no, it is just like flying, there are two pilots. some routes, there are four. if my tablet failed, i have three more. >> you know how to fly the plane manually. >> absolutely, it's all the -- if all the technology went.
