11:00 am
here we go. top of the hour. you're watching cnn. i'm brooke baldwin. thank you so much for joining me here on this tuesday. developing right now, a new report suggests obamacare will push two million workers out of the labor market. why? one of the reasons, folks will choose to get health care benefits from the government rather than from their jobs. the white house is pushing back on this big-time. i want to go straight to capitol hill to lisa desjardins. explain this to me. >> right, okay, this can be complicated, but i'm going to make it very simple for everybody. what the congressional budget office is saying here is that over the next ten years, the equivalent of two million people will decide hey, i don't have to
11:01 am
get health care through my job anymore, i don't rely on them, maybe i'm sick and have a preexisting condition. so maybe i'll leave work and maybe i will get my health care through an exchange instead. that could be people who are retiring. we know something else about these workers who the cbo thinks will leave the work force because of obama care. they're mainly low wage workers. people that aren't earning a lot. you know, brooke, i've worked plenty of low wage jobs myself. those aren't your happiest jobs. these are people who are maybe looking for other options. cbo says the equivalent of two million americans will leave the work force because of that. now, good news for the workers possibly. they have another option, right, brooke? but that's not good for the economy. because we're going to lose not only those workers, but their output and production, and it comes at a time when the baby boomers are also going to be leaving the economy. so this report also says, brooke, that we are going to see the work force continue to drop in america significantly. >> right. we hope that they return to the
11:02 am
work force for better, higher-paying jobs. but in the meantime, that's not great for the economy. when you look at the two million number, this cbo report doesn't distinguish how many not only work for benefits, but also cash. >> that's right. it doesn't. it really is sort of a lump. in a way, it's sort of an economist's best guests of what's going to happen. but it is a big deal, brooke, because up until now, this same non-partisan bunch of budget gurus, they had estimated this effect from obamacare to be much lower. they doubled their senate essentially in this report. they do think many more workers are going to leave their jobs because of obamacare. that's just because they've seen how the thing is working over the past few months and over the past year. so we're learning more and learning home run about what obamacare will mean for this country. >> we know the obama administration is pushing back. how are they pushing back on this? >> right. in fact, some of our viewers probably just saw james sperling
11:03 am
talking to wolf blitzer. he made the example of social security. saying when social security was put in place, many of america's older citizens who were forced to work in order to stay living and provide a living for themselves, they decided to leave the work force because now they had this social security benefit. that's how the white house is comparing it. but you're not going to be surprised, brooke, that republicans are pouncing. >> of course, they are. >> i want to show if we have it. there's a tweet from john boehner. just in the last hour, he says this shows -- let me read exactly. he said "the cbo report confirms the devastating impact of the president's health care law on jobs." so you can expect republicans to run with this. the white house is saying hey, it's not number of jobs. it's number of people. who knows how voters are going to take that. but republicans think that this shows obamacare is not good for the economy. >> we will have much more on this throughout the next two hours. lisa desjardins for us in
11:04 am
washington. thank you very much. just ahead here of the winter olympics in sochi, russia, keep in mind opening ceremony is this friday. word of a new threat against a couple of austrian athletes. a spokesperson for the austrian olympic committee tells cnn this committee received a letter threatening two female members of that country's olympic team. he says the letter was written in german, but he did not identify those two team members. opening ceremony is friday. islamist militants have threatened to carry out attacks. the russian military on high alert as the days tick down today one. and today. today is world cancer day. and on this day, we have been given a frightening prediction. they're calling it an imminent human disaster. this is the world health organization. they say cancer cases are expected to surge 57% over the course of the next two decades. take a look at the graph. and you can see specifically a
11:05 am
rise in the number of new cancer patients each year, from an estimated 14 million worldwide in 2012 to 22 million in 2032. do the math. that is 22 million new cancer patients in a matter of one year. and i'm afraid to tell you, with that prediction comes a rise in the number of deaths. take a look at this now. this is a new graph, same shocking predictions. over that same 20-year period, cancer deaths are predicted to rise from 8.2 million a year in 2012 to 13 million annually by 2032. no one wants to see those numbers. i don't want to see those numbers. dr. walter curin doesn't want to see those numbers. he is the executive director of the windship cancer institute in atlanta. welcome to you. it's tough looking at that. we're all touched by this in some form or fashion. at least when you read this report from the wh.h.o., half o
11:06 am
the cancers are treatable. you have these amazing treatments. so why the rise? >> these, brooke, are very frightening numbers. they really reflect changing lifestyles around the world. increase in tobacco use in many parts of asia and africa. greater rates of obesity. some of them are related to infectious means such as viral and other diseases. the cancers that are going to increase around the world, liver cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer. all of these are related to what tragically are preventable causes. >> that was in reading the report, you mentioned tobacco using lung cancer, the number one most commonly diagnosed cancer. number two was breast, number three was bowel. when you think of lung cancer, stop smoking. >> so we've seen smoking rates go down in this country from 42% to 20% and the number continues
11:07 am
to go down. that is not the case worldwide. >> these are worldwide numbers. >> these are worldwide numbers. cancer mortality in the united states is going down. cancer rates if you do an age adjustment for them in the united states are going down. and yet this is a worldwide problem. cancer a worldwide problem. the cancer centers in the united states such as windship a-- winship recognize we have a responsibility worldwide to have some effect on it. but there are many parts of the world where the resources are not there. so it will require private public partnerships. >> dr. curran, you work down the road at winship. you look these people in the eye every day. i don't know how many years you've been doing this. but have you at least noticed a difference, noticed any kind of progression in a good way? >> absolutely. we released a report with national cancer institute yesterday of a new therapy for brain tumors, which extended
11:08 am
survival of slow-growing brain tumors by over five years. that was a result that we started back in 1998. >> that is fantastic. >> but it takes that kind of detailed long-term attention to a problem. right now the progress is happening in the united states. but we also have to find the means to make it a global fight against cancer. >> where's the cure? >> so, cancer is about 200 different types of disease. we have seen cancers that are cured these days, which would have been unthinkable a decade or two decades ago. we understand, for example, lung cancer is not one disease. there are types of lung cancers that have mutations where we have new targeted therapies where people are living long periods of time that was unthinkable a decade ago. so the progress is there. well, there are tremendous progress in prevention, too. liver cancer, which is the
11:09 am
number two killer -- cancer killer in the world. hepatitis b and hepatitis c vaccines can eradicate that. compared to the lack of vaccinations. so there can be progress and it can be both on prevention and on cure. >> dr. walter curran from winship at emery university here in atlanta, thank you so much, sir. we appreciate everything you do. >> thank you, brooke. and now this. one more health study i need to tell you about this afternoon. this one related to almost everyone's favorite ingredient -- sugar. it turns out added sugar raises the risk of deadly heart problems. here's the bottom line. there's a lot more sugar in the foods we like to eat and drink than most of us actually realize. process foods, bread, lots of sugar you may not know about. then there's the sugar we add directly to our cereal and coffee in the morning. then there are the treats that we give ourselves. soft drinks, candy, etc. you are eating more sugar. and i should put myself in this -- we are eating more sugar
11:10 am
than we realize. at the end, the result can be quite serious. the chief medical correspondent here to talk sugar. >> making me hungry. >> i know. i'm thinking of what i might have had watching a movie last night. listen, we're all guilty of eating some of this, maybe more than others. but killing us? >> well, look, what's interesting is you think of sugar that can add a few pounds to the scale. a few inches around the waistline. but we know more than ever what sugar actually does in the body. it obviously has a lot of calories in it. >> what's it doing? >> we weren't designed to be able to eat as much sugar as we eat as human beings. now you get all this sugar and the liver has to try and do something with the sugar. what we know is it makes these cholesterol particles that are harmful, particularly concerning heart disease. someone who's getting about 17%, 18% of their total calories just from add sugar -- >> what is added sugar? >> all the stuff you just mentioned. in the soft drinks, in the bread, in the pastries. not in fruit.
11:11 am
>> the good stuff. >> that has the fiber and everything else. this is added sugar into a product that didn't have it. so once you start adding that number of calories, about 20% of the calories that you take in in a day, if they're coming from added sugar, that's beginning to significantly increase. that's what this particular paper found. we've known that there's problems with this for some time, but they're starting to put numbers on what could be problematic. >> tell me how much sugar i can take. >> there's no sort of across the board guideline on this. this is what a lot of scientists are clamoring for as well. you know about cholesterol, we know about transfats, we know about these things. there's not an agreement on exactly how much sugar is too much or what's not enough. that's what a lot of scientists are saying. >> how much sugar are you eating? >> for a man, about 150 calories a day from sugar, and far woman, about 100 calories a day. if you're eating 2,000 calories, you're talking about 5% or so of your calories. >> that's nothing. >> the average person is
11:12 am
probably taking in closer to four times that much. we've known for some time that it's bad. the idea that sugar by itself, separate from anything else, can increase your risk of heart disease, this has been the drum beat of science for some time now. >> so my pre-show orange is okay? >> yes. >> whew. coming up next here, inside those final hours of oscar winning actor philip seymour hoffman. we have one of the final pictures taken of him and what he did with friends, what he got from an atm machine that day before he was found dead. plus, we're taking a look to today at the death of john belushi and what happened to the woman who gave him the drugs that ultimately killed him. that's next.

the day before he was found dead, philip seymour hoffman went to his favorite coffee shop. he met people at dinner to a restaurant. then he withdrew $1,200 cash from an atm at a supermarket near his home. nothing here out of the ordinary, but police say those who interacted with hoffman during the day say he appeared, and i'm quoting them, "out of it." police were trying to piece together the actor's movements as they search for anyone who might be linked to the drugs that apparently killed him, including whoever may have sold that to him. on the senate floor this morning, senate majority leader harry reid condemned those who played a part in philip seymour hoffman's death and senator patrick leahy added he will hold a judiciary committee hearing to address heroin addiction across america. but as police are searching for this dealer or anyone connected
11:17 am
to his death, we're reminded of the death of actor john belushi and the woman who served prison time for her involvement. quickly, a note, before the break we showed a picture of his brother jim accepting john's star on the walk of fame. just want to make this clear. here now is cnn's casey wian. >> reporter: john belushi is found dead of an overdose of heroin and cocaine on the sunset strip. >> a person as young as jon was, it's extra sad. >> similarities with philip seymour hoffman seem clear, a talented beloved star seemingly in the prime of his career killed by an apparent drug overdose. >> belushi had been dead possibly two to three hours. >> reporter: outside the hotel, police encountered kathy evelyn smith, returning in belushi's mercedes. >> she was taken into custody and taken to hollywood station. >> reporter: but only briefly. later smith reportedly accepted $15,000 to tell her story to the
11:18 am
"national enquirer." her admission that she repeatedly injected belushi can a heroin and cocaine cocktail known as a speedball led to a second-degree murder charge in los angeles. today, elton fox is a los angeles judge. back then, he was a deputy d.a. leading kathy smith's prosecution. >> in this case, the criminal acts resulted in the death of a human being. >> it's a rare incident where you're able to connect the source of the drugs with the person who uses the drugs and/or it results in a death or a homicide. >> eventually, smith pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and served 15 months in prison. >> with kathy evelyn smith, the involuntary manslaughter, at least from the district attorney standpoint at that time, was a reasonable resolution in that john sought her out and had asked her to acquire certain drugs. >> reporter: now investigators are seeking to determine whether it was indeed heroin that killed
11:19 am
hoffman and if so who supplied it. >> there was no evidence that anybody but mr. hoffman himself injected himself. but we're dealing with a somewhat different case than the belushi case, where there was real evidence that she is the one who put the drugs in john belushi's body that he died from. that doesn't mean you couldn't charge someone, however, with selling a deadly drug to someone who they knew might very well use it and potentially overdose. >> reporter: media attention on hoffman's death makes prosecution more likely. as for what happened to kathy smith, cnn has been unable to locate her. we know she was deported back to canada after her incarceration. one of her canadian attorneys says she hasn't spoken to kathy smith in years. >> they're looking for the person who supplied philip seymour hoffman with those drugs. we understand why. coming up, hear about the plane crash in tennessee,

target's chief financial officer apologizing for the data breach of his company. in a sign of just how sophisticated these attacks have become, he revealed that target didn't even realize its security had been compromised until it was informed by the justice department. >> had you had any knowledge that that malware was there before the department of justice gave you that notification? >> we did not, mr. chairman. despite the multiple layers of detection that we had within our systems, we did not. >> so you had all your systems in place, but you found out about frit the department of justice. >> that's correct, mr. chairman. >> so, what do we do about this? today's testimony did cover one potential answer to credit card. replace that little magnetic strip on the back of your credit card with a computerized chip. so, the strip is better than the
11:27 am
chip? no, no. the chip is better than the strip. why? >> reporter: exactly, brooke. i actually wanted to show you the difference. i'm holding up two cards in my hand. there is one key difference. this is the european version. actually has a chip imbedded inside the card. this is the american version that purely relies on this strip on the back. the issue with the magnetic strip is that every single time you make a transaction, your information travels from the card to the payment processor and it can be intercepted by hackers. they can use your information to create duplicate cards. they can also use card scanners to get your information as well. with the european version, all your data is actually stored on this tiny little chip here. it is heavily encrypted. the encryption key is unique for every single transaction. i've been speaking to ethical hackers about this and they're telling me that if every single american had one of these cards, these mass data breaches you're seeing with neiman marcus and target probably wouldn't have
11:28 am
occurred. >> why, then, hasn't the u.s. switched already if the chip is better than the strip? >> you think about how much it would cost american banks to really replace every single card in the united states with one of these chip and pin credit cards. costs a lot of money. retailers would have to update their point of sale systems, their term fall inals as well. it would be very costly to replace. >> might be worth it. just saying. thank you very much. i appreciate it. coming up, "vanity fair" -- you've seen the cover. getting a round of cheers for its annual hollywood issue, after being criticized for years of being too white. the magazine has a few fresh faces on the cover this year. and woody allen firing back at allegations he molested his adopted daughter dylan. today his lawyer says the claims are a "continuation of mia farrow's desire to hurt woody allen." we'll discuss whether this impacts his career, now and looking ahead after this.

just past the bottom of the hour, you're watching cnn. woody allen disputing the allegations that he is a child
11:33 am
molester. as dylan claims her mother, mia farrow has claimed for years and years. here's woody allen's attorney speaking on the "today" show about mia farrow, about dylan farrow who is now an adult. >> i think she truly believes this happened. that's what the vice of this is. when you implant the story in a fragile 7-year-old's mind, it stays there forever. it never goes away. he was determined not to have molested his daughter 20 years ago. the case is over. there is no case. the fact that it's being brought up now is suspect. the timing is suspect. nothing's happened. it's a continuation of mia farrow's desire to hurt woody allen. and woody allen is now riding fairly high. he got the golden globes award for lifetime achievement, which he probably deserved. and i believe it revived the anger she has toward him. >> so if you're following that, woody allen's lawyer is suggesting that the golden globe award inflamed his ex, mia
11:34 am
farrow, and that's how we're hearing now about the molestation again. there is more to it than that, though. since last saturday dylan published this open letter, her first written account of what she and her mother say happened. it says, "woody allen took me by the hand, led me into a dim closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. he told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother's train set. then he sexually assaulted me, whispering that i was a good girl." those are the words of dylan farrow. with me now from toronto, steven marsh, contributing editor of esquire magazine. welcome to you. you've been writing about this odd concurrence between these accusations against woody allen and, of course, the content of some of these films he's written, he's directed, he's starred in. for example, tell me about "manhattan." >> well, "manhattan" is about an affair between a 41-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl.
11:35 am
in which her father is mentioned regularly. what i was looking for is sort of these evidences of, you know, incest references in woody allen throughout his films. and there are just a lot of them. tons of them when you actually go through the movies. >> before we go on, i need to remind everyone, woody allen denies these abuse challenges. in the case anyone remembers whether woody allen was convicted or charged, the answer is no. he wasn't charged. let me let everyone know after a lengthy investigation, the state of connecticut found no credible evidence that he abused young dylan farrow. and let me just now quote diane keaton. she says this of the females allen writes into his movies. they struggle, they love, they fall apart, they dominate, they're funny, they're flawed. they are, in fact, the hallmark of woody's work. so in addition to what you're
11:36 am
talking about, you have this, these incredibly strong women that woody allen dreams up somewhere in his head and then juxtapose that with your point about "manhattan" and that whole situation. >> i think he's written 70 films and they're all sorts of different characters in them. plus, he's a brilliant director and a brilliant writer and he does have these amazing female characters. i just think there's this recurring theme of men who educate women and then fall in love with them while they're educating women and can't really love them afterwards. so that's kind of what annie hall is about. it's also what "manhattan" is about. whatever works, it's there as well. plus the explicit memories. i don't know what to make of these connections. i just think that they're there. and that when this incredible letter from dylan farrow appeared, it sort of made us reconsider his work. and those references are there.
11:37 am
>> steven marche, thank you so much for joining me today, talking woody allen, the legendary woody allen. this year's hollywood issue of "vanity fair" magazine is running praise for showcasing a diverse group of actors and actresses. it features six actors from color from some of the most notable films of 2013. two of whom are up for towards. they share the cover with hollywood royalty. you have julia roberts, george clooney, etc. a.j. hammer joins me from new york. and i know -- i mean, this magazine, i read about this this morning. it's definitely been criticized for a lack of diversity. >> for a long time now. "vanity fair's" covers generally have a pretty poor record when it comes to featuring people of color. and the hollywood issue in particular has been a target before. in fact, back in 2010, the website jezebel's article which criticized "vanity fair" was titled young hollywood is white, thin. the magazine's hollywood issue
11:38 am
has this trifold folding cover that we're seeing here. the only people of color who had ever actually made it on to the front cover fold were chris rock, tandy newton and djimon hinsou. this year, right alongside roberts and clooneyy, you have c chi wattel oej for. >> worthy of it. >> it's getting all this extra attention. what i've been hearing, is that people are generally pleased with what "vanity fair" has done. one of our leagues even commented earlier that it's good to see that the magazine recognized that there was work to be done. >> i was worried there was going to be a but, despite the praise. has anyone been critical of what we're seeing now?
11:39 am
>> the main criticism i've been seeing as i've been surfing around is the notion that simply putting these accomplished actors on the cover doesn't properly address diversity. on "vanity fair's" website, there was one commenter that struck out to me with what he wrote. black and white is not diversity. it's easy tokenism. where are the latinos? where the asians? where are the native americans? hollywood always makes sure to include one black and forgets that other colors and ethnic groups exist, too. this cover doesn't inspire. it sickens. and i've seen a bit of that sentiment out there. clearly there is the idea that there's plenty of work to be done. >> progress, progress. thank you so much for joining us with that. coming up, a mother's grief after both of her sons are killed days apart from one another. >> the suspect just shot into the car. just shot into the car. multiple times. my son's car shot up.

11:51 am
the u.s. senate is moving on a $10 trillion farm bill. about 80% of the costs goes to food stamps, other programs for the poor. most of the rest goes to agri businesses. gloria, in your opinion, what is more significant? what's actually in the bill or the fact that democrats or republicans are working together on this? >> it's a really important bill. and it's also important that you have this broad coalition of lawmakers who got together. it's taken them a couple of years, brooke, to reach this point. but it's a very, very important piece of legislation. as you point out, it's got a little bit of a cut in food stamps, but food stamps affect one out of seven americans. it ends these controversial direct payments to farmers
11:52 am
paying them not to farm. but instead, covers losses when they have losses. makes sure our milk prices aren't going to skyrocket. so it's important. it took a long time, yes, but it's also important that they actually are going to get it done. excuse me. >> you okay? >> uh-huh. >> let me switch gears. i want to show everyone this poll that shows hillary clinton blowing the doors among democrats when it comes to presidential preference for 2016. you see the number at the top of the screen, 70% for hillary clinton. and then we see what's happened since december when we pit hillary clinton against new jersey governor chris christie here. you can see the change in numbers, she has shot way up. he has shot way down. how worried are republicans that christie's fortunes could be plummeting here? >> well, you know, it's no coincidence that we've heard these stories about is jeb bush going to get in, is mitt romney potentially going to get in.
11:53 am
because they're worried about those chris christie numbers. as you look deeper into the numbers, the reason he's losing ground and hillary clinton is gaining ground is because he has lost 20 points. 20 points with independent voters. and those are the people you need to win to gain a presidential election. the other poll you showed, though, is just as interesting to me. with hillary having 70% of the demograph demographic. >> that's a huge number. >> it does feed into this notion of oh, she's the inevitable nominee. and that can turn into a problem for you because voters have this funny thing, they actually like to decide who's going to be the nominee. they don't like it determined for them a couple of years in vance. and so it can work against you, as it worked against her when she first ran against president obama.
11:54 am
so it's hillary and everybody else. >> gloria borger, thank you very much. coming up here, piecing together the final hours of actor philip seymour hoffman's last day. the new clues police are using the catch the people. who supplied him with the deadly doses of heroin. also ahead, the city of san francisco suing the maker of the social networking app saying it enables sexual predators. that's this about? we're on the case next. welcome back. how is everything? there's nothing like being your own boss! and my customers are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one rate. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order. good news. i got a new title. and a raise? management couldn't make that happen.

you heard of this, it's an app, it's also a website. it's called meet me. it's being touted as one of the newest ways to meet new people in your neighborhood, maybe date. but now they're at the center of this new lawsuit from the city
11:58 am
of san francisco. this is what we're getting from our affiliate kgo. the city attorney there has filed suit against the social networking site arguing it enables predators to target minors. in this complaint, this man says the site serves as a portal for numerous assaults and illicit sex acts with kids under the age of 18. although meetme would not comment on the case, this is what they say on their website. "we care deeply about the safety of all of meetme's users. we employ a 24/7 team that responds to reports from our users and work closely with law enforcement when appropriate to assist in their investigations." i feel like we've talked about apps like this in the past. >> we sure have. >> we have. this is just another app out there. but do you think this is the first that we've really heard of -- a city with a case? do they have a case? >> you know, i don't think so. and this is why. social networking sites -- and we have talked about this before, brooke.
11:59 am
really have enjoyed this sort of broad and very robust protection for really the actions of its users, right? and so that's a federal statutory protection. and a lot of state attorney generals and some state attorneys and district attorneys have tried to poke holes in that immunity in court all around the country with really little success. and so, will this particular case be successful? i don't think so. but i can tell you in researching this and covering so many of these kinds of cases that there has been a trend with states really calling to task these social networking sites to make sure that our children are more careful. so we may see some changes. maybe not through court action. but maybe through just making sure that these sites are good corporate citizens. >> just quickly, because i'm curious, if you're a 13-year-old and you up load this app, what responsibility falls to the app itself, to the social networks? >> well, you know, i think -- again, because of this immunity,
12:00 pm
not that much. but meetme has seemingly been a good corporate citizen. they review hundreds of photos, post it to their services every day. they compare the information against sex registries. so i think that's really important. but really, we have to protect our own children. so parents, get involved. get involved. that's what i always say to you, right, brooke? >> yes. you know, mom. loud and clear. sunny hostin, thank you. hour two, i'm brooke baldwin. we begin with this. this new report, new details just released from washington, d.c. this predicts obamacare will trigger a drop in the u.s. work force. a top republican has just come out calling this report devastating. that was his word. but as we look at this report, really, really close up, this is what it actually says. the estimated reduction stems almost entirely from a net decline in the amount of labor that workers choose to supply rather than from a net drop in
12:01 pm
businesses' demand for labor. let's sort this thing out. let's go to washington to lisa desjardins. lisa, is this saying that the job force will drop because people either will decide to work less, now that they have affordable health care coverage, or something else? >> right. it's amazing that you got that from that quote from the congressional budget office. that was the worst government speak i think i've seen in a long time. >> help us understand it. >> reporter: right. what are they talking about? what they are saying is they think two million americans in the next four years will leave their jobs mostly by their own choice because of obama care just like you were saying, brooke, because right now, they're dependent on those jobs for their health care. they may have a preexisting condition. maybe they had a bout with cancer. maybe they're older. they don't think they'll be able to get insurance under the old system because they have that
12:02 pm
condition. well, bobamacare takes away thoe preexisting conditions. now they can leave their job and still get insurance they should be able to afford. that's the idea, anyway. under obamacare. two million people just in four years are expected to do that. much bigger than expected. >> when we read the word "devastating," that word coming from the speaker of the house john boehner. republicans, they're jumping all over this. >> reporter: right. and i just came from where republicans held a news conference and i'm going to go straight to a sound byte from missouri senator roy blount. he pretty much breaks down why republicans see this report and why they're going after obama care because of it. >> they can say anything they want, but this number is a lot worse than anybody thought. just like insurance costs and deductibles and access to coverage that families can afford are turning out to be a lot worse than anybody anticipated. the one thing we all know now is the country and the congress
12:03 pm
know a whole lot more about health care. and even the media than we did in 2009. this would be a very different debate, a much more consequential debate for a better result, if the president would just give up on these policies. >> reporter: well, no surprise, brooke, the president's not giving up on obamacare. the white house responded saying what they see in the cbo report is that workers will be given the choice. they'll have more options with what they do with their lives and their career because of obamacare. but obviously stay tuned, this debate is going to stay hot and i think viewers who are watching now will be glad, because this cbo report is going to keep coming up and they'll know what people are talking about. >> lisa desjardins, thank you so much, on capitol hill for us on this one today. and now just one day before oscar winning actor philip seymour hoffman was found dead in his manhattan apartment, he went to his favorite coffee shop for a shot of espresso. later that night, he met up with two people for dinner at a west village restaurant. then later, we know he withdrew
12:04 pm
$1,200 cash from an atm at a supermarket near his apartment. from what we're hearing, nothing appeared out of the ordinary, but police say those who interacted with hoffman during the day say he appeared -- and i'm quoting one of these people, he appeared out of it. police trying to piece together the actor's movements as they search for anyone who might be linked to the drugs that apparently killed him, including whoever may have sold them directly to him. let me bring in mike brooks. i wanted to focus and begin with you specifically on this dragnet. you have law enforcement honing in on this west village, greenwich village area and beyond trying to figure out who the dealer was. why? >> because there's a brand, if you will, that they think might be involved in this called ace of spades and the ace of hearts. what they'll do is new york city nypd narcotics, they will put on there usually what brand was involved with the person that they locked up. so they'll go back and they'll take a look at all these past
12:05 pm
reports. last week they had over $8 million worth of heroin seized in a raid up in the bronx. so i'm sure they're saying okay, did that have anything to do with maybe a distribution point in the west village. but while he was at the atm withdrawing $1,200 over six different transactions, there were two guys with him with messenger bags. so know that they're trying to find out who they are. in that west village area, i know that area very well, there's a lot of businesses with cameras and a lot of nypd cameras in that area. so they're going to go back, take a look, see what his movements were, try to identify these two and maybe anybody else who he may have met up along the way. >> in all your years in law enforcement, i was talking to a former addict social worker on the streets where heroin is bought and sold and he was telling me that generally addicts, when they hear of overdoses, especially since we're talking about national news about this philip seymour hoffman case, they want to go find that brand of heroin. did you know that? >> yeah, because they say okay, well maybe i'll get a better
12:06 pm
high for the same amount of money. so that's why they go and they look for maybe a certain brand that they're selling in a certain area. >> because of potency. >> exactly. so what was his resistance to this? we know he had it in the past. and what are the other drugs he had with him? basically an opiod antagonist. that's one of the other drugs they found in his apartment. >> a lot of drugs they found in his apartment. minus the prescription. mike brooks, thank you very much. minutes from now, the navy is expected to reveal the details of another scandal involving the people who have their finger on the country's nuclear arse fanal. you will remember it was revealed that some 40 air force officers were accused of cheating on that pro efficiency exam. they are expected to reveal the
12:07 pm
details into "compromised test materials involving its nuclear divisions." senior navy officials. we'll watch for that in 20 minutes time. we have new developments today to tell you about involving last month's chemical spill in west virginia. nine counties, 300,000 people were affected when freedom industries released these chemicals into the elk river. some schools still only using bottled water. our investigative correspondent drew griffin is joining me. so now, criminal investigation, yes? >> that's right. >> and you have new results from water? >> we had our own independent water test. these people are not drinking the water, even though they are being told it's safe. we went yesterday and tested the water ourselves. at a point down river from the chemical plant that was leaking this chemical. and in two homes in charleston on separate parts of the river. and what we found was, yes, the chemical still is in the water.
12:08 pm
at very, very low levels. trace amounts. well below what the cdc says is safe. but still, in the water in the river, as you can see there where our tests took place, and also in the homes, and brooke, it was in a higher level inside the homes than in the river. >> so coming out of people's faucets. >> why? what could be the explanation? the testing company, we use test america. they're well-respected. they say this could literally be the chemical still flushing its way through the hundreds of miles of pipes that make up a municipal water district. >> and who knows how long that takes, right? >> well, i think after this, we're going to find out. but that is what we found. again, the levels were low. trace, but they were still there. >> did you talk to people? are they at that anger phase? >> they are angry. they are confused. they do not know what to do. they do not want to drink the water, even though their officials are telling them -- let me put you in their
12:09 pm
conundrum by just sharing with you a couple of sound bytes. this is from the head of the water department who said this last night about drinking the water. take a listen to this. >> our customers' concerns are paramount to us, but the water is below the 1 ppm health guidance provided by the cdc and that's what i have to tell customers. i can also tell you i'm using it, my wife is using it, my employees are using it, many people i talk to are, in fact, using it. >> it's very alarming. and it's very concerning because that raises the issue of trust. when the state officials say the water is safe, and now we have almost three weeks into it that people are not drinking the water, they're demanding distribution of free water, and they're feeling like the water is not safe. >> are you drinking the water? >> i have drank the water. and my wife is a physician has told me i better not be drinking
12:10 pm
the water. >> he's not drinking it. the first guy is. >> now what do you do? are you going to use your water? heck, no. people are not using the water no matter what they say. >> thank you very much. coming up next, take a look at this woman. she made national headlines when she posted a video of a phone call on youtube. she called a former teacher who says she sexually abused her when this woman was a student. now it turns out the woman on the other end of that call is facing charges 15 years after the alleged crime. we're on the case next. 3

>> how [ bleep ] dare you. >> i regret it every day. every day. >> that was just a piece of the phone conversation she up loaded to youtube. i should tell you a second alleged victim has come forward. that video, by the way, has now been viewed more than 1.2 million times. joining me now, hln's jane velez-mitchell. here's my question, because the accuser here thought the law would do nothing because of the statute of limitations running out. so first question, how are the charges even possible? >> well, brooke, there are so many surprises in this case. we all thought well, the statute of limitations has passed. it turns out the fine print says if you are charged with something that carries a potential life sentence, there is no statute of limitations and she is charged with aggravated assault on a child under the age of 14. that carries a potential life sentence, therefore there is no statute of limitations, although the accused woman's attorney
12:24 pm
plans to challenge that. we'll see. >> that's interesting. this is from andrea cardoza's attorney. we are planning on following up on the case by challenging the filing against the statute of limitations. fortunately, our justice system requires more than a youtube video to determine the facts of a case. as we proceed, i am certain that evidence will shed new light on all charges filed. how about that? >> i call this youtube justice. i applaud this woman for her ingenui ingenuity. many people feel the criminal justice system is just not responsive if you're not rich, famous, powerful. this woman took the matter into her own hands and conducted a sting operation, videotaped it, and then conducted a pr campaign for justice by posting it on youtube. bravo. she got what she wanted. more than what she wanted. she thought she was going to get a public shaming.
12:25 pm
now she's got a criminal case against the woman who she says molested her when she was a kid. is this an open-and-shut case? i think not. even though to the average person it might sound like an outright confession on that call. a good lawyer can take a lot of those nuances. i regret it. well, what exactly do you regret? could she try to twist it, for example, to emotional abuse. >> okay. jane velez-mitchell, we'll see what happens with that statute of limitations and what they're contending. thank you very much. we are keeping a close eye on the stock market today. of course, one day after watching closely, it was sinking hearts watching it down some 300 points. this is what the dow looks like so far this year. you can see, whoop, down. not pretty. this is just a normal maybe ebb and flow of the market. perhaps a construction from last year's huge gains. we'll ask that question coming up next. plus, for the very first time, we are hearing the details of the operation to take down alleged pimps at the super bowl. i'll talk live with the fbi

12:30 pm
richard frankel, fbi special algt agent in charge. welcome to you. >> thank you, brooke. >> let's begin with the pimps here. more than 45 of them. their associates were arrested. you guys helped facilitate this whole process. are these suspects separate individuals or is this part of an organized group? >> well, there were several investigations as part of the overall investigation. so there was not one group per se. at times, some of these individuals were arrested together. other times they were by themselves. it was really not just one main group. >> okay. and then the victims. did they come from the new york city area? were they brought in from all corners of the country? >> we did have some victims from the new york and tristate area,
12:31 pm
and we did have other victims who were brought in from other states. it really just depended on which part of the operation, the sting operation that we did target. the sting operation was an ongoing effort by not just the fbi, but with a local law enforcement partners, nypd, the district attorney offices from several of the counties as well as local police departments up in westchester. >> okay, so tell me more about the sting. obviously we knew the super bowl was happening in east rutherford for a long, long time. the sex trafficking sadly happens really around these sorts of events each and every year. were you watching all these folks for months and months? how did you carry this thing out? >> these are ongoing operations that will continue by local law enforcement and have been continuing up and through the super bowl. and will continue on. the fbi working again with local

law enforcement targeted this event because during the super bowl as well as other special events, we do see an increase in the traffic. so it was a good time for us to work an overarching sting throughout new jersey and new york. this is a very coordinated effort. but again, local law enforcement has always been doing this and will continue to do it. >> sir, i am sure you have been doing this, being in law enforcement for years and years. i'm just curious, with this most recent sting, did anything jump out at you? did anything about this surprise you? >> i wouldn't say it surprised me. i'm a father. i have children this age. i'm also an fbi agent. and the fact that this happens doesn't surprise me. but i also can't believe that it happens as often and with children as young as they are.
12:33 pm
it is a terrible thing that we have to deal with on a daily basis. but we do, and we will continue to target these individuals as well as other human traffickers and again, this will be an ongoing effort by the fbi and local law enforcement. >> nice work, sir as special agent in charge of the new york control division, agent richard frankel. thank you. and now to this, harsh words from a u.s. congressman on the obama administration's stance on marijuana laws. he calls it, i'm quoting him, schizophrenic. today a hearing to discuss federal marijuana laws. coming up, hear what happened on capitol hill today. anncr: you're working hard. all day. every day. and it shows...

eight million new jobs. new businesses. new factories. new hope. still, it's harder than it should be to raise a family... save for retirement. so president obama is urging congress to give america... a raise. his plan raises the minimum wage to ten ten an hour. and requires equal pay for women to boost family incomes. congress...give america a raise, we've earned it. there's nothing like being your own boss! and my customers are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one rate. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order.

12:38 pm
economic data. >> so what does the indigestion end? >> the indigestion is taking a breath. pausing. just easing up for a while. what i'm hearing is this is not a crisis, this is not a calamity. that's for individual investors. it's certainly not a moment when you look at your 401k and rush for the door. >> so no panic is what i'm hearing from you. richard quest, thank you very much. a republican lawmaker calling out president obama's marijuana policy in a very public way. live pictures. this is a congressional hearing under way on the hill, run by
12:39 pm
florida congressman john mica, the head of the house sub committee on operations. they're calling it mixed signals. the administration's policy on marijuana. >> just a few days ago, president obama said, i'll quote, i don't think it's more dangerous than alcohol, referring to marijuana. i've got an article from "the washington post" and the dde operations that the drug enforcement administration called the legalization of marijuana at the state level reckless and irresponsible. again, i call it schizophrenic approach to what's going on. >> the director is spending much of his time talking about how bad pot is. joining me now, mark kliman. professor, welcome.
12:40 pm
>> thank you. >> so as we talk today, let me just say, i listen very closely to my colleague jake tapper's interview with the president last week. the president said his biggest concern when they were talking pot, criminalization of pot use. my question to you, are our feds, our police, are they cracking down equally on marijuana versus something like heroin? >> there are a lot of arrests for marijuana. there's not a crackdown in progress right now. most of those arrests are possession and don't lead to criminal convictions. perfectly reasonable to think we should be arresting fewer marijuana users. that's a different question from whether we should legalize marijuana sale. the marijuana market is very large, about $35 billion a year. i don't think anyone including congressman mica has a plan for
12:41 pm
getting it under control. so i think it's reasonable for states to think about moving toward legal availability. i'd hate to see the direction of alcohol, aggressive promotion by corporate enterprise. >> i believe the word experiment was what the president used in talking to jake last week in reference to washington state and colorado. but he also said, he has yet to comment on whether he would support removing marijuana as a schedule one narcotic, a classification that includes heroin and ecstasy. >> ask the late philip seymour hoffman if you could. nobody dies from marijuana. every second that we spend in this country trying to enforce marijuana laws is a second that we're not enforcing heroin laws.
12:42 pm
heroin and meth are the drugs that are ravaging our country. and every death, including mr. hoffman, is partly the responsibility of the federal government's drug priorities. >> mark, react to that. >> well, yes, it's true. cannabis is less dangerous than most of the other control drugs. i would have added to that list cocaine and prescription opiates. it's the prescription opiates that are now the rising problem. and yes, there's a competition. we could do more drug enforcement against other drugs. if we did less against cannabis. cannabis takes a very large share of drug enforcement, perhaps 10%. but that's more than zero. that's what makes nonsense of the notion that the feds should be intervening in colorado and washington. they have to take resources away from something else. they can't be the local marijuana enforcement agency for states that have decided to regulate. the law requires the attorney general to cooperate with state
12:43 pm
governments, and attorney general holders decided to cooperate with the governments of colorado and washington. that seems to be perfectly natural and normal. i hope that some of these experiments will go beyond the alcohol model and look at not for profit distribution, look at states. couldn't even look at the states unless the congress moved to change the classification of marijuana. having the president reschedule cannabis from schedule one to schedule two has exactly no effect. >> okay. >> the question is, is it going to be a controlled drug. all schedule two means is you can prescribe it and you can't prescribe it unless the fda has approved it as a medicine. that's a completely different question. if it's out of the controlled substance act the way alcohol and tobacco were by name, otherwise they schedule the drugs, that's going to happen, congress has to do it. >> there is so much to this marijuana discussion. you cannot lump all of this together. you've written books on this.

sometimes oversharing on the social networking site. ten years after it started, facebook now has an incredible one billion users. i can't believe it's been ten years. did a little digging today and i got on the facebook bandwagon. kind of late. it was march of '08. i found some of the first pictures i up loaded. i was a local reporter in washington, d.c., covered the opening night of the washington nationals stadium. i never did the myspace thing. i lived with my little brother at the time. he was always on his laptop. so okay, i finally took the plunge in 2008. to lori, she's been looking at what's in store for the next ten years for facebook. and it seems things could be a little trickier. >> and the big question was, is this something that could work outside of college? everybody said no, it's probably not going to work outside of college. >> reporter: in honor of facebook's ten-year anniversary, we decided to take a walk down memory lane. do you have some of those
