12:01 pm
where citizens could be affected. we decided not to endanger the public and wait for the right time. that's why it was great efficiency. the arrest was executed by the team. this was the stuff of legends. through the years he somehow slipped through the cracks and avoided being caught because of his power and money to bribe officials. the author of el narco inside mexico's criminal insurgency. thank you for being with me. welcome. this was the world's most wanted man found shirtless and breakfast still on the stove. didn't go out in a blaze of glory as many anticipated. what do you make of that. >> if you see the way the mexican government has been dealing with this in recent
12:02 pm
years. they go out in smoke. the movie scar face where he was blowing away assassins. the major firefights would be killed and children would be killed in the crossfire. to this government, it has been careful about not injuring civilians and making it clear. if they go with their hands up, they will not be shot dead. that was communicated. >> you think he was cognizant of hey, i'm this bad guy and if i walk out with my hands up, it will be okay. do you think he was thinking that? are. >> it's a big part of this thing. the reason is they arrested other drug traffickers. in these cases they sit down again without firing shots and establishing a mote of operation. if you come up, they will not kill you at that moment. they are going to die if shots
12:03 pm
are being fired. >> let me ask you about the influence here. he has been described as the enterprise, the sinaloa cartel . that's so far as drugs in the u.s. >> guzman is the biggest and his organization moves cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and crystal meth to americans and billions upon billions they make. every year the americans spend about 60 billion dollars buying the drugs and about half of that is mexicans. he's the biggest trafficker. as well as that, he got his fingers all over the world and all kinds of countries find crystal meth and buying cocaine and so forth. as far as asia, australia, argentina and columbia, you can see that. >> given his influence and the
12:04 pm
tend cals worldwide, were you surprised that this guy was not hiding out in the mountains? the authorities tried busting him at his ex-wife's house and he goes under the bathtubs with a door to theles and gets away. he was here on the fourth floor apartments. were you surprised? >> what happened in recent years. in the mountains. in these villages, i have been up in the mountains and they are very hard to go into. as soon as the army goes close, they have a million spies who are ark lettering him. he had a lot of time in these villages up in the mountains. it seems that he wanted to enjoy his wealth. he is a billionaire, but not enjoying your wealth. he started going down to the luxury apartments and mansions in the capital and mazatlan and when he tarted to do that, they
12:05 pm
followed him and they waited for the one house and he created a network of tunnels. he goes out from them. they realized that and they were close to him. he moved quick low tomaz at land without time to really have the security and they were on him very fast. >> it is. like a movie. all these details. kudos to the mexican government. the navy and the military and the dea and with a little luck they got him. thank you so much. >> i bet you like to read a lot too. >> prince is dead. >> that's fascinating. i read a lot myself. some people think i'm to go intellectual, but i think it's a fabulous way to spend spare time. i also play racket ball. do you have hobbies? >> i collect spores, mold and fungus. >> ghost busters, comedy legend harold ramis has died.

12:07 pm
she is in washington, d.c. at this governor's meeting and members of the party are asking she stop it. three arizona republicans voted to pass it wrote this letter calling for her to veto 10-62. >> it came quickly. we all left uncomfortable and i feel badly that the state reputation has been tarnished by the vote and that's why we are asking the governor to veto this. >> it's not good for the state if you lived around to see the negative publicity from all over the world. they said it's been bad. >> two analysts, a lawyer for the alliance defending freedom which is allowed in drafting the bill. welcome. >> thanks soechlt thanks to you and jack. let me begin with you. we have the bill and i read the pieces of it. let me ask you for people who
12:08 pm
don't know about it, what is 1062 advocating? >> first, i want to take a step back and thank you for having me on this interview. earlier it has been vastly so misconstrued as has much of the debate. i hope we can clarify the lies and the constructions right here. this bill is simply about protecting freedom. it's protecting people and the government should never be in a position to tell us what we can and can't say and punish us for our beliefs. this bill simply protects people in arizona from government coercion of speech. >> jeff, i want you to explain what this bill is advocating. >> it's a very similar argument raised against the civil rights laws of the 60s. people who said that our religion believes in separation of the races. we want to keep black people out
12:09 pm
of our restaurants. out of our hotels. that's essential looly the same that supporters are making. our religion believes that gay people are lesser or different beings than other people. the question is, does the government want to endorse that kind of thinking, that that individual right trumps a universal idea of nondiscrimination. that's the question for arizona. >> kelly, i see you shaking your read, but i read the criticism. me how this is not discrimination. >> brooke, that can be what jeffrey just said nothing could be further from the truth. this bill will do no such thing. it's consistent with a law and no one is being turned away. i know of no religion that turns people away from the restaurant. this bill, there is a big difference between giving someone coffee or pizza or a burger and coercing someone to violate their beliefs. >> but that is open to
12:10 pm
interpretation of the business owner. >> would you allow a homosexual -- >> my show. hang on. that is open to the interpretation of the business owner. is it not? i know you have been involved in and key keep using a same-sex couple walks in and wants a photographer to take a picture for their wedding and they said i will take your picture for the passport and a driver's license, but no, i'm not going to take your picture for the same-sex wedding because of that is against my beliefs. how is that not discrimination? just asking. >> it's not. there is a difference between taking a picture and the government forcing a citizen to violate their belief by participating in using creative expression to photograph a wedding. we would never ask a homosexual. we would defend their right not to photograph the event. we would not want them to be involved in.
12:11 pm
would you allow or make up. >> i ask the questions. you answer the questions. >> i will. >> kelly. >> we would support the muslim who wouldn't want to go on a saturday. we defend. >> i understand. hang on a second. jeff is my go to legal guy. jeff tube in, on to the law. given the example that i gave. if i top the get married to another woman and i walk into a photography studio. where does the law stand with an individual and a business saying no? >> i think it varies by state. >> arizona specifically. >> at this point i think they largely do have the right to turn down people because there is no law in arizona that says you can't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. that's different in other states, but this is about the law making sure that people have
12:12 pm
the right to draw distinctions and discriminate among their customers based on who is gay and who is straight. that's what the law is all about. >> that's just not true. what this bill does is balancing. it said that the government cannot come in and force you to speak or believe something that is contrary to what you believe. it's not a license for discrimination. that's the beauty of the legal system. no action can be justified because of religious beliefs. that's why we have a constitutional system of to prevent that. that has nothing to do with discrimination. it's protecting basic freedoms that belong to everyone. i don't understand how you can argue anything else. this has nothing to do with discrimination. in fact, what does have to do with discrimination, anyone against this bill is supportive of discrimination by the government for people of faith. ha is wrong in our country. >> go ahead. >> this law says nothing about
12:13 pm
it. you can believe anything you want. this says nothing about what you believe. the constitution allows you to believe whatever you want. we have certain rules about commerce. you can believe anything you want, but you can't turn away black people from your store and you can't turn away gay people unless this law becomes effective. >> it's not turning about gay people. >> let me jump in. i have 1062. a have a copy. number two here exercise of religion means the practice or observance including the ability to action or refusal to act. to me, how is that not discrimination. let me end with this. with everything potentially changing and evolving and more states accepting same-sex marriage, isn't this a timing for them to go ahead and get it on the books for the federal government. they say something you may not agree with?
12:14 pm
>> this law is bringing arizona law to be consistent with federal law and ensure that the basic freedoms belong to everyone and no one is forced to use creative abilities and art. we should all be free to live our lives as part of our beliefs without government coercion. >> we wanted to hear both sides and we appreciate both of you coming on. thank you. >> thank you, brooke. >> coming up, the iconic got milk campaign is coming to an end. what will the new cloak an be? >> eals ahead, a college student turning to porn to pay for tuition bills. catching a lot of criticism. will the action be the same if she were a man? no matter how busy your morning you can always do something better for yourself.

shooting pornography brings me unimaginable joy. when i completed an honest day's
12:19 pm
work. it is my love and my happiness and my home. i can say i never felt more empowered or happy doing anything else in a world where women are wronged of choice, it is wonderful and it is how the world should be. a lot of people on the show will rip that to shreds. we wanted to talk to a woman who said good for her. michelle, clinical psychologist joins me now with a little bit of that perspective. you called my producer brave, brilliant and a bad bleep. why? >> i did. i think what is so important, brooke, is that in our society right now there is so much shaming going on and so much fear around any woman owning her sexuality. i am a happy expert and i try to keep marriages together. i try to get people to have more
12:20 pm
sex. i think that in the erotic industry, there a lot of women that i met and men who do that has a job and are not on drugs. they are very confident and capable and could do a lot of other work. but they choose to do this. i think it's important that we take note. it is not as bad as what people are putting out. >> i'm always aware of the thought bubbles of viewers watching a segment and i can hear them rapid fire like if you were to watch porn and things done to women. how is that empowering. i read this twice. in parts, i'm with her until i got to the parent part. until she said here i am, an empowered woman and i lied to my parents and told them i had extra exams and i shoot
12:21 pm
pornography. i am wondering if i had her in front of me how empowered she is when she is lying to her parents and remains anonymous. >> right. i think it's also about her being in fear of being viewed exactly the way she has been by all the shaming that has been going on. i think she said a lot of smart things in her article. >> she's a great writer. i give her that. >> yeah, and i think that again, what we are talking about is female sexuality. i talk about it all the time. we get comments about rihanna shouldn't do this and britney spears and madonna kissing and all that sort of stuff. the reality is that we get to be in control of our sexual lives. that makes men and women i think uncomfortable. >> interesting. she does.
12:22 pm
she points out not all women in porn are empowered like that. she said we need to help those women. here's the other reality. let's be real about this. if this was a guy. if a dude comes out as a porn star, can you imagine the slapping on the backs and the atta boys that guy would get? it is totally opposite for this young woman. >> again i think the porn industry is a changing industry. if anybody were to google jackie st. james, she is a female director in the adult world and her company is new since the female center adult films. i'm telling you i have been married 20 years. we are only having sex with each other. there is lots of people who used adult film to enliven their sexual lives. i'm not ashamed or embarrassed to say that.
12:23 pm
eventually with all of the press this article is getting. she will come forward and thank you very much. what a candid conversation. >> you're welcome. >> a republican senate candidate in kansas is apologizing for posting gruesome x-rays on the internet and poking fun of a patient, some of whom were dead. they were posted on his facebook page and they show i decapitated person because this person was shot. wolf called that one one of my all time favorites. wolf blamed the political ooh ponent for bringing the photos to light and he is running against pat roberts in the primary. before this, wolf was known as a distant cousin of president barack obama. and a vocal opponent of obamacare. coming up here on cnn, facebook's $19 billion purchase that we talked about last week.

the famous got milk ads going bye-bye. mow more milk mustaches? what? they will urge consumers to live the milk life. that's a new slogan. the new ad is out tomorrow. you have noticed a difference when you watch netflix? the video streaming service is cutting with comcast about all the band width netflix users take up. here withy details, it's frustrating. >> buffering. those words to see. netflix is considered a big fat data hog. netflix eats up a huge amount of band width without paying. it can could for much,much as one third of all broadband terrific. they want to make sure that the
12:29 pm
movies and tv shows will stream a lot faster. that's because comcast is allowing netflix to connect directly through their network. y instead of going through a company, things move a lot smoother. netflix will pay for this access. this could be a really new frontier. internet service providers wanted them to pay up for this. verizon is in talks with the company and don't be surprised with everybody paying more. this will be passed down to guess who. you and me. >> all of us. be gone with the buffering and more with the bills. since we have you there, let me ask you about the s&p 500. why? >> s&p 500 in the first hour of trading, the 1850 mark is a fresh all time high. we will wait to see if it closes at that level. this is after a rocky year so far. we saw a sell off in january. the stage had come back this month.
12:30 pm
this is happening because of the worries about problems in emerging markets are subsiding. we have weak reports and the belief is it's the weather's fault and you see them play in a big way with the s&p hitting a fresh record high. brooke? >> up 130 points. a half hour to go in the trading day. thank you. bottom of the hour. i'm brooke baldwin. through the good finals and bad, the mill hare has been mostly off limits to budget cuts or a last resort. reality check. not anymore. chuck hagel announced major cuts to the pentagon budget. this happening just late this morning. the a-10 attack plane would go away. the u2 spy plane to be retired and the number of troops and national guard troops would be cut by thousands. secretary hagel said they made
12:31 pm
two new realities very clear. >> first the development and proliferation of military technologies by other nations that means we are interesting era where dominance and space will be taken for granted. second, defense spending is not expected to reach the levels projected in the five-year budget plan committed by the president last year. >> then we have the motion notion that the proposed cuts of congress in and of itself. wolf blitzer the the situations and some of us remember that the pentagon correspondent here on cnn. is this like a necessary evil? is this something they had to do or was it forced upon them by the budget crunch? >> i think they had to do it for several reasons. first and foremost, the u.s. had to have 200,000 troops in iraq.
12:32 pm
all of them are out to 150, 160, 170,000 troops. almost all of them are out to 20 or 30,000 left right now. all of them are supposed to be out by the end of the year. let's see if a contingent stays next year and beyond. if you eliminate all those ground forces, two active fronts in a war, you don't need the troops. you can cut and go from 500,000 to 450,000 and whatever it is and not lose much. it was doable and a lot of these big ticket items, you mentioned them. you don't need them anymore with the drones that can bankally do a lot of the same stuff with cheaper cost. >> sorry that what it is? the e vofing technology. just reading about this, my goodness. this is just wars that will look so different. the future of war. >> a drone can do a lot of the stuff that you used to use a
12:33 pm
fighter jet to do. that might cost 100 times more money if not 1,000 times more money and you endanger pilots. with a drone you don't endanger them and you can do the stuff you used to do with aircraft. it's a remarkable new technological advance that allows the military to get rid of the high ticket items you used to spend a ton of monoin the past. >> they conducted it and it was the guy sitting in the west pushing the button for the drones and you talk about a different kind of ptsd and still existing. what about this? the old question being able to fight two wars at the same time. what if we had a dual warlike iraq and afghanistan in the future? >> then you mobilize and build up the military quickly. you have the national guard and the u.s. army and air force navy reserve. you have all of these men and women who were on stand by and mobilized and activated quickly.
12:34 pm
you go fight and go to it. after the two experiences in iraq and afghanistan, i have seen no appetite to get boots on the ground and get involved in other major land wars. it will require a major threat to u.s. national security. given the appetite for that experience after iraq and afghanistan. if there is a crisis like that to develop, you mobilize and you get the job done. >> wolf blitzer, we never miss you. each and every day on "the situation room." thank you. very, very much. coming up, did you hear the national anthem over the weekend? the singer's unique style is getting a lot of backlash today. you can judge for yourself.
12:35 pm
my dad has aor afib.brillation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)...
12:36 pm
...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.
