seaworld? right now, 39% of you say yes. 61% say no. >> the debate will continue online at cnn.com/crossfire as well as on facebook and twitter. join us tomorrow for another edition of "crossfire." erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. next, the obama care blame game. >> we identifies error in the code identified by others. >> we have no role in the development of the website. >> plus, why is she dead? >> i don't know how someone could do this to someone. >> how a 24-year-old teacher's body ended up in the woods. and spying on friends. >> it is never acceptable. >> how easy is to it hack the cell phone of a world leader? we found out.

let's go "outfront." >> good evening. i'm erin burnett. just in, twitter has just reveal how much it will cost you to buy a share of the coil. we've been waiting a long time for this. this is the most anticipated event in term of a new stock event on wall street since facebook and then google. in regulatory finding, twitter says it will sell about 70 million shares. to buy one of them it will cost you between $17 and $20 each. that means a lot of people theoretically could buy in. but should you? brent woolsey is out front. one analyst says this stock could go to $50. a lot of people watching say that would be a no brainer. more than double what it would cost to buy a share at the offering. and another research firm in a recent report said twitter is more popular with teens and

facebook. that would indicate this might be smart to do. there are some good things here, right? >> well, anything can happen. the market is a crazy place to be at. but when you look at what the company is saying, the company is doing a smaller offering. they're pricing it lower. heavy the road show starting next week. it will be about mid-november. they're being cautious them don't want to have that. i wonderful guarantee 50. it is a good company. people should realize, twitter has never made a profit. last quarter they lost $65 million. their worst loss since 2010 and three time what it was appraised for. we have a momentum type stock which can burn you like facebook did initially. but twitter is being cautious. that's a pretty important point to point out that it is losing money. if someone is watching and say should i buy this, $17 or $20 is something that i can afford. would you? >> you know, as you know, i like

to buy company with strong balance sheets, making money and so forth. i can't buy this for my clients because they're not making money. it could be the biggest stock. go up 100% right away. if it doesn't, i can't justify, make nog money. it could happen. i'm be going to put my money there. too ricky. >> we appreciate it. and our other top story as finger pointing over the obama care fiasco. the contracts who help build the we think were on capitol hill today. and they all said it is not my fault. do their defenses add up? casey begins our coverage outfront. >> here we have my republican colleagues trying to scare everybody. >> no, i will not yield to this monkey court or whatever this is. >> this is an monkey court. >> whatever you want. i am not yielding. >> that was the scene on capitol hill about what went wrong with the obama care website.

instead it was a lot of politics and passing the buck. here's an executive from a major contractor for health care.gov. >> a portion of the system that cgi was responsible for is where we had -- >> were you not aware of the problems consumers would face before october 1st? >> we were not part of the end to envies built throughout the system. >> so is cgi to blame? we asked one expert whose company bulls complex websites for starbucks, nike and others. >> you should raise your hand and say we're not going to put our name behind this if you're not allowing to us test the full system. >> whose fault is it? here's what the contractors had to say. >> were you two optimistic in your earlier testimony for the committee. >> we believe we've been prune and cautious all the way through the project. we did express confidence to the subcommittee that the data hub

would be ready on october 1st and it was. >> no, sir. it has worked as it would september 10th. >> and the payment processing has been up and running since october 1st. >> you have three company executives saying our stuff was working fine. >> that's unfortune. because every system individually was working but they were launching one unified system. >> job number one, you turn on the website. customer number one has to have the right experience. and they are all responsible. >> and as for the administration's key defense, unexpected volume on the webb led to a meltdown. the contractors repeated that claim as well. >> from what i can tell you, the system became overwhelmed. >> you keep speaking about unexpected volumes, miss campbell. and that really sticks in my craw. i have to tell you that. as i said, there are thousands of website that's carry far more traffic. so i think that's kind of a lame excuse.

amazon and ebay don't crash the week before christmas and pro flowers doesn't crash on valentine's day. >> she nailed it. there is no excuse for too much demand. that's just not acceptable. >> he said while there were a lot of people that made a lot of mistakes in the launch of obama care, he said the buck has to stop with health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius. she is scheduled to testify before the same committee next week. >> thank you very much. i want to bring in outfront democratic congressman jan who serves on the house services committee which held the hearing you were looking at. appreciate your taking the time. and just heard casey reporting. the excuse we heard is unexpected volume. too many people trying to go online. your fellow democratic congresswoman, you just heard her call it a lame excuse. amazon and even by a don't crash

the week before christmas. pro flowers doesn't crash the week before valentine's day. she has a really good point there. didn't the administration fail at that fundamental job of testing? >> you know, no one is happy. least all the president of the united states with the way this website has worked. but it is a matter of proportion. and i think that explains some of the tension and the committee. let's remember the republicans were willing to shut down the government and not pay the debt of the united states because they wanted to get rid of obama care. this is a website. it is not unlike what happened with medicare part d, the prescription drug program. in 2006 which has traveled well into its second month. and i'm not making excuses for it. but what i'm saying is that now it is getting better every day. people are getting through. i'm hearing from my constituents

who are saving thousands of dollars and getting the coverage that they haven't been able to get by going on the website. and i have been assured, we were all assured that by december faent, you need to sign up by december 15th if you want to begin on january 1st. that the glitches or mistakes, it may be more than a glitch, will be ironed out. it is a website. >> and maybe they will be. but okayly, the peel, the very people that as you know, must sign up for this whole thing to have any chance of working are the people who are not going to pick up the phone or walk in and do it instead. they're the young healthy people that use the web. obama care needs 7 million people. 40% of to be young and healthy or the whole thing fall apart. based on current applications, the number we have today, it is on track for 4 million by march 31st. not 7 million. 4 million. i guess the question i have, to give this a chance of success, forget whether you hand the

republicans a victory. shnl you delay this just to have a chance of it succeeding because of the failures? >> well, i don't think so. we're three weeks into this. i agree that it has to be fixed pretty soon and pretty quickly. we can evaluate as we go along, whether or not we're going to have a penalty. obviously people won't have to pay a penalty if the system is not working. my understanding, the organization helping people get signed up is that about a third of the people who have succeeded are young people. they know how to use the internet. and they're having some successful. >> let me ask you one final question. i have a lot of tweets that this last night when we talked about it. we reported kaiser health has said hundreds of thousands who have health plan now have gotten letters. your coverage is ending because your plan doesn't work obama care. it says you must provide maternity coverage.

things the current coverage may not provide. i'm getting tweets from women had a. >> their 50s and 60s say i like my plan. i don't want to pay for ma earn the care and now i have to. the president promised me i could keep my health care plan if i like it. they feel misled. isn't that a fair feeling? why should they have to give up what they like? >> well, i hope those people if they're on an individual plan will go and look at the marketplace themselves may be eligible for a six did i to get a comprehensive plan. the fact that insurance company can't deny coverage for important things, it is not like a menu where you can pick from column a and b anymore. you're going on get a comprehensive package. >> all right. and pay for it. thank you very much. appreciate your taking the time. still to come, a white house official spend two years criticizing the administration anonymously on twitter. only the we have all the details of how authorities actually finally caught this guy after so

our second story outfront. new details in the murder of the teacher colleen. she was killed with a box cutter

inside danvers high school. that's where she was a may math teacher. then she was dragged to the woods in a recycling bin. it has left the people in shock. her killer who was 14 years old, phillip chism, would commit such an outrageous crime. >> reporter: as danvers high school mourns, new details are emerging. a source close to the investigation tell cnn around 3:30 tuesday afternoon, her 14-year-old student allegedly beat and slash her with a box cutter in a second floor student restroom. the source said he then stuffed her body into a recycling bin, rolled it out of the school and dumped her body about 20 feet into the woods behind the athletic fields. the bin was found over an embankment. he allegedly exchanged clothes, went to a local wendy's and then

to a hollywood hits movie theater nearby. police caught up with him wandering the streets near midnight in a nearby town bifrl then 24-year-old colleen had been reported missing. a combination of statements he gave to investigators as well as surveillance tape hemmed investigators discover the body sometime later. kyle was a friend and teammate. >> he was a really nice kid. >> reporter: he said when he did not show up for association practice and a team dinner, he knew something was wrong. but not this wrong. >> that's what gets us. he didn't demonstrate any signs of aggression. >> the family and friends continue searching for answers. >> she is a good person. it doesn't make sense why something so terrible would happen to someone so completely the opposite.

she just would never, ever want to hurt anyone. >> and chism has not entered a plea 24 hours after we las saw him in court yesterday. prosecutors are seeking to try him as an adult. erin? >> thank you very much. our third story, america spying. britain's guardian newspaper reporting today that the national security agency routinely monitored the phone call of 35 world leaders. this is according to classified documents that were released by nsa leaker edward snowden. they were actually encouraged to turn their lists over to help the nsa. the nsa is not commenting. angela merkel is the latest to claim they were spying on her. i want to bring in bob baer. he's a cia operative.

when we talk to you earlier, you actually scared me. you said it is very simple to bug anyone's phone, including one of the top leaders on the planet. so how is it done? >> reporter: well, the most simple level, you take scanner outside somebody's house or outside their business. you can start listening in before the cell phone is enkrimtd. more sophisticated, you take virus. send it into a smart phone. and it will bleed your conversation out across another line, a spare line. or it can even turn what's called the harmonics on on your cell phone that will pick up the voices in a room. it is pretty amazing. and there are even private services. just give me your cell phone and i can pick it up right away. >> i know you threatened to do that to me today. i was scared. the other thing is you said, this is not, not only does it sound like what you're saying is easy to do but it is not

incredibly expensive to do. one would assume. i'm curious how much it would cost i would assume this is happening to everybody. >> well, it depends. privately i can for instance get your meta data for $400 or $500. who you call, when you called, the length of the call. it is fairly inexpensive. so for the national security agency, it is nothing. >> i mean, that is nothing. so i guess the question is, i would assume then that the president's cell phone is being monitor monitored. a throwaway one or whatever will i would assume e is watching everybody. that it is faux outrage that we're hearing from our european allies. >> exactly. anybody talking on a cell phone who expects privacy doesn't know the way the system works including the president of the united states. there is no way to protect that or his private computer. even the encryption system are all vulnerable. and so if merkel thought she was speaking entirefully private she was wrong.

no doubt the russians are listening to her. maybe even the french. i don't know. >> well thank you very much. bob explaining how it is done, scaring us in the process. in all serious know, something really important to consider. still to come, a bizarre day at the testimony of a murder trial of a form he utah doctor accused of killing his wife. what his daughter says did he with the nanny. because yes, she spoke today. plus a republican lawmaker went too far, insulting the president personally. the white house denied the incident. then today it heated up even more. who is lying? know it yet, but they're gonna fall in love, get married, have a couple of kids, [ children laughing ] move to the country, and live a long, happy life together where they almost never fight about money. [ dog barks ] because right after they get married, they'll find some financial folks who will talk to them about preparing early for retirement and be able to focus on other things, like each other, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense.

received from her father the day her mother died. >> it was my father's voice. he said, rachel, quick, get to the hospital. it's your mother. quick. i said what's happening? is everything okay? and he just said, rachel, come home. >> reporter: prosecutors say all the drama was a ruse. mcneil had plan his wife's murder all along. the motive? he was carrying on an affair with gypsy willis who moved in as a nanny shortly after the death of his wife michelle. >> it was obvious. she is goo eyes at my dad. and was not doing anything. >> reporter: mcneill was so determine to move forward with the murder plot that he forced her to have a facelift so could get her to have a mix of drugs

and blame it on the surgery. rachel was adamant there be an autopsy. >> emhe was concerned that there be a police investigation. that he didn't want to -- anyone to think that he murdered my mother. he said why? why would nine think that? >> reporter: avoiding any eye could be tack with her father, she often trugd to hole back tears shelf describe how her father said he found admiral in the bathtub and how she fundamental her mother's clothes later that day. >> it was a big bloody mess. it was, all of these things were just thrown in the garage. >> reporter: on the day of her mother's funeral, she said her dad was not mourning his wife's death. in fact, he seemed to be relieved. >> he was making jokes about being single and laughing and it made me sick.

welcome back to the second half of "outfront." spirit airlines grounded flights in ft. lauderdale today to inspect engines on some planes. the company reafter engine failure on a plane last week. and one reason it might be concerned is the airline outsources some of its maintenance overseas. we learned that from former transportation department inexpector general mary schiavo. we reached out and a spokeswoman respond asked they admitted they do outsource. the way they phrase it in this way. our heavy checks are done domestically. we do some of our component and engine work abroad and that is primarily with original equipment manufacturer. she found foreign repair facilities often gave airlines substandard parts which of course puts the flying public at serious risk. newly released police records and 911 calls show miriam carey may have been emotionally unstable. which is when she tried to barrel through a white house

barrier. she then sped to the capitol before being killed by capitol police. here is a call that she made to 911 in november. >> 911, stamford. what is your emergency? >> yes. ifr some people prowling outside my wind over. they've been prowling outside my window all day. >> whar what outside? loitering? >> caller: lightering and actually trying to videotape me from my window. >> she sounded so calm. she said the men have been stalking her for months. police arrived a half-hour after the call. the men were not there. and a half-hour later her boyfriend called police. >> miriam, she's outside with the baby without any coat or anything. and she is just physically, i need to take her somewhere to get some help. >> her sisters have told cnn that carey, the mother of a 1-year-old in the car when her mother was shot to death, was suffering from post partum

psychosis. we want to update our viewers on cnn's obama care live sign-up event today. it happened during situation room with wolf blitzer. he had three young people on the show trying to sign up for insurance. and they were unsuccessful during the show which runs 90 minutes. and we wanted to let you know, one woman was able to purchase her insurance shortly after wolf went on the air. she is 29 years old and self-employed. the bottom line is she said the insurance she was able to buy was cheaper than the plans she previously had. the other two obviously still unsuccessful at this point. our fifth story, is someone lying? last night on this show, we told you that democratic senator dick durbin said that a top house republican leader told president obama, quote, i cannot even stand to look at you. during negotiations over the government shutdown. the white house saying what's

going snow. >> attributed to the lawmaker. was not accurate. but there was a miscommunication in the readout of that meeting. between white house and senate democrats. >> sources tell cnn that he got the quote from a top level source. the white house deputy chief of staff. so who is telling the truth? and why is anyone not telling the truth here? is there something, you know, this is one of those things. you feel like you see a little tip of an iceberg and there is something below the water. outfront. mark hannah, terry holt. let me start wufrl dick durbin is the number two man in the senate. his word against the white house. this is not a senator who picks fights with the president. he supports him. he defends him. do you believe dick durbin?

he was integral to the success there. and the senate business. so i think that he made an absolute blunter here. it is unfortunate. >> why is it a blunter? are you saying he's making it up? or are you saying the white house shouldn't have that anything about it? >> programs he should not have said anything about it. and he don't know where the breakdown in communication is. it could have been somebody transcribing this meeting. we know how much pressustenogra are un. the transcript, according to it, to your report says i can't stand to look ought. you can imagine why it would be misinterpreted as i can't stand to look at this bill or i can't understand you and somebody mishearing. that so i think it is a big game of phone tag that has gone bad. that's how politico is reporting it. it is unfortune. they're trying to enable the

spirit of compromise after three weeks of this. >> objectly the version marg gives, it would be very different than how it has been reported and how dick durbin said it happened. programs precisely because of that, it makes you would not if it really did happen. >> i don't care whether it happened and i don't think the american people should either. the senator got thrown unl the bus by the white house. the white house finally understands. if you can't have frank conversation in these meetings, then you cannot trust each other. unfortunely this white house and this senate leadership have a pattern of behavior whenever you have a private conversation with them or exchange an e-mail, they'll go to the media with it and you can't deliberate or have a conversation unless you trust one another. right now the that you wills have been burned so many times.

in my view, it doesn't matter whether dick durbin got it right or not. it is more a pattern of this kind of behavior. >> if you got it right, it is a pretty awful thing to say. you have to respect his position. i cannot stand to look ought would have been a bad thing to say. let me ask you, you have a perspective on it. congressman pete sessions of texas is the one that harry reid made the comments. i cannot stand to look at you. sessions said it didn't happen. you know him. if it possible that this could have happened. >> not likely. as he very mild mannered guy. as he person in charge of helping republicans get elected to the house of representatives as the chairman of the nrcc. there are a lot more loud mouths in texas than pete sessions. >> that may be true in recent

weeks. >> in these negotiations, these high level meetings, there is a lot of emotion. a lot at stake. i have to believe there was at that meeting. these guys, men and women in these conversations, they should be able to have frank conversations. when dick armiey and senator rob byrd, the king of the senate at the time, got is that a shouting match. you didn't have to hear about that. they initiated a tax relief and a balanced budget act. what we want is substance and progress. dick durbin should have his ipad taken away for a couple of weeks. >> i have to tell you -- >> what about that point that he is making. even if it did happen, dick durbin shouldn't have said anything about it. >> i agree. behind closed doors people should have more latitude.

if this was said to the president about the president, this is news worthy. cnn should be reporting on it. it is hideous to think about it. let's think about why this is so plausible that somebody would say. this when you have raul labrador and some of the people in congress saying that the president is trying to quote/unquote troy the republican party, they accused them of that and i think it is ludicrous. it is not really productive or constructive on both sides when you have real reform that need to be made in terms of immigration reform. one thing we need to reform first is the culture of personal attacks. this politics of personal destruction. i'm not saying that. >> how about taking it away from all of them for a while. >> i think mark twain said it

best. the rammer has a chance to travel around the world before he has his chance to put his pants on. >> i like. that thanks. our sixth story outfront. the government's twitter sting. we're learning more about a white house staffer who was busted for tweeting insider information and frankly, slinging some pretty vicious insults at his colleagues. and his tweets went on for two years. so two years this was happening. he is things and they couldn't feigned him. this makes you think differently about the nsa. any way, personal attacks and political attacks, the personal ones included some thing that were pretty mean. was huma abedin wearing beer goggles the night she met anthony weiner? you broke the story. today david, i've been obsessed with this story.

something about it makes me laugh on a lot of levels and bemused on some level that . you've done reporting exactly how it happened. so explain how it went down. >> we know that this has been in existence for two years. even more critical of the white house and national security staff. there were a lot of people inside the white house and the state department which is receiving this criticism that wanted to find out who this person was. we understand three weak ago, some white house aides decided to say, hey, one way we can find this out. deliver some false information to someone whom we think it might be and see if it comes up to the twitter account. that plan was enacted. our sources are careful to say there were other ways they were and it is not clear whether some tweet popped up that directly led to the unmasking of the staffer inside the nsc. it shows the length that the

white house staff was going to and how much of an embarrassment this had become. >> he had less than 1,500 followers. a lot of people had a followed him were very much inside that world. right in he never gave away classified information as far as i've seen. are there some people who said some of the thing he said were mean. some were true and maybe things that nobody else actually wanted to say. whether they were may not or not mean. you know what i'm sayingful are there people who say this is ridiculous? >> there were. just to set the stage. what he was doing was two things. he was being critical and petty. that's offensive but he was also giving out some information that may not have been class fade but it was revealing. what the white house is saying, they're not just jump set about the offensive nature of the tweets but also that they can't trust somebody.

if there is no classified information being let out, some are saying are they not allowed to do that? or have an account? staffers are not allowed to use their work but they are allowed to have personal accounts. i think they thought he was going over the line. he works at the president's request and it is easier to fair folks like that. >> i have to say that despite what you say, some of the tweets were mean and totally inappropriate. some of them were, you know. spot on. >> i did talk to people who said there were other people who talk in the hallways, kind of the same way. he was voicing concerns and frustrations people had about policy and even personalities. >> i am sure. all right. david has been reporting on that story for the post. still to come, a memory ill man shot by police. surveillance video showed something totally different. and almost 17 years after her death, a shocking

development in the jonbenet ramsey case. are we ever going to feigned out who kill her? ♪
