11:00 am
attend a rally tomorrow here in moscow where the main feature of that rally was going to be russia's policies in ukraine, and another thing he apparently said that he had some new information on what exactly was going on in ukraine. we gather this from opposition sources, however, it's unclear what that information was supposed to be. now, after what happened of course what's going on now, and it was at the rally to take place tomorrow is going to be a morning rally instead. what happens is there's a march of mourners that's going to go through central moscow mourning the death of boris, and so things have changed, but one of the things that i want to hit on as well fredricka, the model, playing a pivotal role. i spoked to one of his friends yesterday, and what happened was after this incident here is that she called this friend and he was over here in about ten minutes and saw flying here on the ground dead and said before
11:01 am
she was then taken in for questioning by the police that she was able to talk to him to give him a quick run down of what happened. she said the two of them were walking here along this bridge where all this happened and all the sudden a car stopped next to them. as you said several people were in the car. she says that immediately someone from the car opened fire and that then shortly afterwards the car sped away, fred fredr fredricka. >> oh, my goodness. putin is promising punishment in the investigation. do people believe that will take place? >> reporter: well of course there's certain people who have serious doubts that will take place or whether or not anyone will be found. however, the russian authorities are saying they are making headway in the investigation, already said they have identified a white vehicle that they believe might have been used in all of this. there was cctv video of the vehicle earlier, and now apparently it's been found on a lot here in moscow.
11:02 am
also what the russian authorities are saying is they are talking to witnesses, but they also say they are still going through hours and hours of additional cctv video because one of the things we have to keep in mind, fredricka is this happened in the red square near the kremlin with a lot of surveillance would have had a lot of people here at the time that all of this happened. there certainly appear to be a lot of witnesses and also a lot of electronic surveillance that happened that seem to show or would have shown what exactly took place here on friday night. >> gosh. well seems like those details would likely be documented. we will soon find out. frederick, thank you so much in moscow. just last spring he sat down with our anthony as "parts unknown," and spoke about the dangers that come with criticizing the russian government. >> bad things seem to happen to
11:03 am
critics of putin. journalists, activists, and those seemingly untouchable with fair game if they displease the leader. we were to be dining in another restaurant this evening, but they heard you were joining me, and we were uninvited. should i be concerned having dinner with you? >> this is a country of corruption. if you're in business you're in a unsafe situation. everyone can press you and destroy your business. this is a system. >> meets boris, deputy prime minister and today he's one of putin's most vocal critics. this restaurant was kind enough to take us in. the chef is a brit so maybe he has less reason to worry. >> first course gentlemen. >> reporter: at this restaurant they serve versions of russian classics. a modern riff on borst, a chunky
11:04 am
broth and chunks of meat, but here it's a puree with an elegant deconstructed presentation. >> critics of the government critics of putin, bad things happen to them. >> yes, unfortunately, representing russia of 19th zenchly, not of 21st. >> critics of putin, bewear. accusing putin of corruption and he spent ten years in prison in labor camps. alexander accused state security services of organizing a coo to put putin in power. he was poisoned by a lethal dose of radioactive pled yam. the former ewe canian president was poisoned disfigured and
11:05 am
nearly killed by a toxic dose. >> i'm not saying official russian bodies had anything to do with it but it's suspicious. >> you don't have to be a son spir si theorist to believe whoever did this very much wanted everyone to know who done it. everybody understands and is meant to understand. >> of course. everybody understands everything. >> right. >> thisin this country. >> when you talk classic conspiracy theories and classically russian paranoa, you want the russian food with it. this is minced beef dumplings on a pillow of cabbage with sour cream. very good. maybe the most extreme inkrizble example of how things seem to work here is the olympics. >> if you look at the map of russian configuration, it's difficult to find a sport without snow and ice at all. putin did.
11:06 am
[ laughter ] >> seems like an obvious question. i mean if we wanted to hold winter olympics in miami, presumably someone says it's warm there. >> this is absolutely personal putin project spending $50 billion, the most expensive games of mankind. >> 26,000 a seat for the curling stadium. >> per seat. i lived across, 30 miles, price for that? $9 billion u.s. dollars. >> this the is road right? three times expensive than american program flying to mars. >> reporter: who got contracts for the roads and stadiums and infrastructure? well there's these guys. putin putin's childhood friends and judo partners the brothers who received contract worth $7 billion. putin's associate of 20 years who owns the state railroads, that company received $10
11:07 am
billion worth of contracts. >> it's very easy to imagine what's happened with this money. >> right. >> you know who cares in russia? just about no one. this is a case of a known enemy of putin, hit with a fatal dose of poison. are you concerned? >> me myself? i was born here 54 years ago. this is my country. russian people are in a bit of trouble. russian core does not work russian education declines every year and i believe that russia has a chance to be free. there's a chance. >> it is difficult, but we must do. >> and ukraine president called him a bridge between ukraine and russia and suggested he was murdered quote, not by accident. the presidential election here in the u.s. is more than a year
11:08 am

11:12 am
several candidates for president and have been voting all weekend long. let's bring in our political panel in los angeles, cnn senior political analyst, the editor at the national journal, good to see you, and larry, director of center for politics in university of virginia. good to see you as well. ron, you first,s gop has many or more potential candidates as in 2012 so what will be different this time? who stands out and how? >> well you know, imy thought, i was not in the room, i can't tell you who played best but it's not a good predictor of anything. the best two presentations were rand paul and jeb bush and ironically the best because they were the most against the current in the hall. what we saw on the first day of the conference was a re reaffirmation of the post iraq post post iraq period. rand paul was seen to be a threat to him came out with a
11:13 am
forceful presentation on friday basically making the case for a restrained foreign policy and couching it effectively with conservative language and jeb bush in the lion's den with an audience skeptical of him, did a good job balancing the argument conservative of governor without backing away from the positions that conservatives could make him strong in he gets that. >> larry, is jeb busch the biggest threat here? >> well bush is naturally the front runner. he's not a heavy front runner not doing well in the polls, but given the fact that he has the lion's share of large donors important staff members, and connections in the republican party, i think, clearly, you'd put him first. scott walker did reasonably well but i agree with ron. i think, you know jeb bush deserves a t-shirt that reads "i survived cpac." clearly, they were not willing to listen to his positions on
11:14 am
immigration, common core and there's some resistance to the idea naturally of no, ma'amminating a third bush in the third president, but on the whole, he got through it and showed good humor doing it walker played well with the audience and marco marco rubio played well, and some minor candidates auditioning to be the anti-hillary clinton spokesperson of the republican party. >> does she stand a good chance of that? do voters feel fatigue seeing a familiar face one more time running again. like they cancel them out, menning the american you know voting public cancels them out even though the person with the experience in running feels like you know i learned something from the last campaign and i want to try it again, larry? >> uh-huh. well if you are talking about -- >> yes, i am. >> she's trying for a cabinet post or something like that
11:15 am
look jeb bush and hillary clinton are fascinating. they need one another. they really do they have dynasty problems and there's clinton fatigue and more bush fatigue. they have the establishment balancing involved and they need each other in this campaign. i think, you know in a way, hillary clinton and her people hope that jeb bush gets the nomination unless republicans throw it away by nominating somebody too far to the right to win. >> ron, is that bush-clinton fatigue big? >> it is definitely an issue if it comes to that. another name that larry mentioned, focusing on scot walker a second. with the potential to be a very formidable opponent to jeb bush's right -- >> why is that and how is that? especially since his performance on handling certain issues has not really been polished and precise. why so far he seems to be the favorite there in cpac? >> well because i think that
11:16 am
what he's been -- he's been able to do something so far in early polling that we have not seen since george w. bush appealing across the party. the more upscale, affluent manager side of the party. mitt romeny john mccain, and jeb bush is likely the favorite of that party, the mori popular evangelical side of the party, huk bee in 2008 and san tor up. walker to a far greater except than santorum or huckabee doing well and showing strength among the more upscale manager conservatives, making him the challenger if he emerges from iowa. that's the key. does iowa elevate the candidate who cannot win or elevate a candidate umtsly as only appeal appealing to a small faction of the party. >> all right, good to see you, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thanks. all right, still ahead, he's
11:17 am
one of thee most powerful men on wall street and says inequality in america is destabilizing the economy. hear what else goldman sach's chairman and ceo lloyd blankfein told cnn's poppy harlow. over the years, we increased the amount of technology in our homes, and that's meant increased demands on the electric grid. so we turned to solar and wind power as renewables became all the rage. being energy efficient is just the start. imagine if your home provided all its own energy for instance the heat from your television powers your coffee maker. this house can do just that. on the outside, it looks like any other home in suburban washington, d.c. on the inside it's not.
11:18 am
>> we take over 500 readings of data every minute. >> the national institute of standard and technology or nist for short, built this house to prove that net 0 is possible. >> so net zero energy home is a home over the course of the year produces as much energy as it consumed. we have a virtual family that lives here and they perform all the same functions you would with your own family. we have the vices, for example, that emulate a toaster, a blender, a hand mixer, and all of these devices operate at a precise time according to a schedule so that the home is occupied as a home normally would be. >> in the first year the house went way beyond net-zero. it actually produced a surplus, enough energy was left over to drive an electric vehicle 1400

wall street lloyd blankfein, chairman and ceo of goldman sachs speaks out about that giving a wide ranging interview to poppy harlow. wide ranging. just said you know i'll talk about anything and everything and he did. >> you never make any agreements in the ver interviews but we talked about oil prices the china's economy, u.s. economy, but one of the things we found most interesting, fred was income inequality. you have one of the upper echelon, part of the 1 % talking about the issue of income inequality in the country, and he weighed in with particular feelings on how important it is to us right now. listen. >> you have said that income inequality is destabilizing factor in this country, and i am wondering what you think it could mean if there is not improvement in say, the next five years? we saw what the lack of economic opportunity has done in the middle east for example. are you worried about social
11:24 am
uprisings? >> look no. the american culture is not that way. look we went through a great depression with unemployment rates 25%. we're not, you know we're not there. it's -- we're not destabilized. it is destabilizing. you know when people are not happy and think the economic system is not working for them we have done a better job in this country at creating wealth than distributing it and we have to do a better job and behooves everybody to join. the beneficiary of the economic progress are not necessarily the cause of it. ask people to vote are you for inequality everyone says no. there have been a lot of factors in the world that evolved that it skewed the world. the rise of technology winner take all market i think we all have to get together and work on this problem. it's everybody's problem. >> so other than growing the pie, what can be done? where does the responsibility lie? >> one of the things we have to do which i think is the easiest thing, is i think we have to supply to the general public and cheaply or freely freely all
11:25 am
the things that the very well-to-do can buy for themselves that the poor don't that are predicate for success later in life so training education, housing, those are things that the wealthiest people have and the poorest people do not have and if you don't have it you lose your access to the escalator that could take you up and through the middle class and higher. so what we have to do is if you collected revenue from the hole which means from the progressive tax system the wealthier people and not write checks to people but invest it in education, housing, those benefits will disproportionally yore to the immediate needs of society. >> i feel people know this but not happen. >> we have a political system that's stuck and it's very very hard to get and move things along, harder than it should be. >> all right. he said pretty extraordinary things there, you know namely said you know we've done a better job of creating wealth
11:26 am
than distributing it but at the same time we have to invest more in education, and so which is it? i mean is he happy, you know that there is some progress made in the direction, or is he saying there is work to be done if. >> i think he said the government stalls trying to get this done and interesting headed into the 20 16 election right, who is he going to support, who is wall street going to support, and, you know, he has, in the past been very positive comments about hillary clinton, so i asked, are you supporter of hillary clinton. he said, you're asking me endorse before they are running. he gave indications he was a supporter there. he's putting it on the government to say we need to make more progress on this front, behooves us all. people look at companies, goldman sachs, a number of companies across sectors and says well what are you companies doing, and he said we're doing a better job of making money in this country than distributing it. what is that going to mean going forward? that's one of thee key issues in 2016 no question.
11:27 am
>> very provocative statements. there's more, poppy, glad that you know folks can catch more of this this interview, right here on cnn.com/investing. i wish i knew more. >> money.cnn.com/investing. it's all right there. >> great, thank you. we'll be right back. uh-huh... you don't love the dress? i love my sister... 40 flavors. 100 calories or less. my goal was to finally get in shape. not to be focusing again, on my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults with
11:28 am
moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance on humira. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. set a new goal today. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible.
11:30 am
helg low, thank you for joining me. a developing story from egypt today, an egyptian court ruled hamas is a terrorist organization. that same court designated the armed wing of hamas a terrorist group last month. the decision will contaminate the reputation of e just a minute and the egyptian government has been add odds with hamas since morsi was ousted in 20 13. i spoke earlier with a former u.s. ambassador to egypt, edward walker and he's what he said about today's decision by the egyptian court. >> the egyptians have been facing a very serious problem in the sinai that affects both their security and the israeli's security so i think it makes a lot of sense now, problem is, of course morsi was part of hamas,
11:31 am
and former president was part of hamas so there's acquisitionkccusations against the egyptian regime but to me it seems reasonable to follow through with basic threats that if you don't support us get out of the way. >> cnn 'ian lee is in cairo. will the decision sit well with the average egyptian? >> reporter: well i think what the average egyptian believes that hamas is a threat to egypt. they are part of the muslim brotherhood. they accuse hamas of ruling the insurgency in northern sinai, which egypt has lost hundreds of security personnel. they also accuse them of a 2011 jailbreak that involved muslim brotherhood leaders e caping from jail. these are the accusations that are going against hamas, things also hamas denies but it is unclear what this ruling
11:32 am
actually means. this sort of deck collarlaration is left to the executive branch. the president makes this call. there's also a new terrorism law here in egypt that says that this court doesn't have the sort of jurisdiction but belongs to another court and general prosecutor. we're waiting to see if this ruling will be upheld. it can be appealed, but it is another big blow between relations between egypt and hamas, things soured since 2013 and e just a minute has been a broker in the peace deals between -- during the wars between hamas and israel and we'll wait to see, you know what that means for egypt and hamas going forward. >> ian lee, thank you so much from cairo. still ahead, the israeli prime minister will speak to congress about iran in less than three days. his visit already straining u.s. and israeli relations. will there be any improvement? first, cnn money's laurie segall
11:33 am
has a look at this week's money innovation report. >> what do you do with a blue whale? >> no idea. >> cheer him up. what do you do with a lonely whale? >> i don't know. >> find the kick starter so he can find him. >> you might know him as benny chase from the show "entourage." >> we're up a hundred grand, there's a post show, what do you say? >> why is he tailing me whale jokes? it's a movie about a whale make anymored 52. >> he speaks at 5 hertz, and others speak at 10 to 15. he's different. he's calling out his whole entire life without receiving a response. >> that is so depressing. >> well it's certainly lonely. >> it's a story that dates back to 1989 when an ocean graphic researcher picked up a 52 hertz frequency in the ocean. the scientist, dr. william
11:34 am
wattkins determined the sign belonged to a one of a kind whale whose call could not be heard by any other whales and spent years tracking 52. also known as the lonelyist whale in the world. >> imagine calling out and nobody responding. imagine feeling like you're being misunderstood. the story strikes a chord, and he wants to move behind the camera to capture it. >> we're asking for help with the search. >> looking to raise $300,000 to fund a quest to tell 5's story, collect data and make a film. >> looking to fund a scientific expedition that will give us the opportunity to study hybrid whales and affects of ocean noise pollution on the majestic creatures. >> what is your personal connection to the lonely wail? >> entourage is about friendship and connections. vince and the gang have each other. i guess it's safe to say that the lonely whale needs an entourage.

it's a badly kept secret that there is no love lost between president obama and israeli prime minister netanayu and the sburnd lying tensions have rose to the surface. >> the bickering between the white house and netanyahu over the planned speech to congress hit a low this week. the u.s.-israeli relations deteriorating to the worse seen in decades. >> there's now been injected a degree of partisanship not only unfortunate, but it's destructive of the fabric of the
11:39 am
relationship. >> the israeli leaders's decision to accept john boehner's invitation behind the white house's back strained a frosty relationship with president obama. >> the prime minister and i have a real difference around iran. it does not make sense to sour the negotiations a month or two before they are about to be completed. >> with the suggestion that netanyahu played election politics the administration refused to meet with him two weeks before israelis go to the poles. netanyahu doubled down says he too, had a, quote, profound disagreement with the white house over iran, and while he was not picking a fight with the president -- >> i intend to speak about this issue before the march 24th deadline deadline and i intend to speak in the u.s. congress because congress might have an important role on a nuclear deal with iran. >> reporter: the speech was for
11:40 am
partisan bickering, two dozen congressional democrats plan to skip the speech and urge the speaker to delay the address which they warned was, quote, undermining the president's diplomacy. >> it's outside of order in terms of the protocol and the respect. >> reporter: undetoured the speaker is taking on the white house head on. >> what is destructive, in my view is making a bad deal that paves the way for a nuclear iran. >> reporter: as the visit approaches the jabs are sharper and more personal. >> had you had this discussion? >> he may have a judgment that just may not be correct here. >> reporter: leaving little hope for a thaw in the tense relationship any time soon. >> i respect the white house and the presidents of the united states but i must do everything to prevent such a great danger for israel. >> reporter: this is just the latest war of words in the long simmering feud between the white house and netanyahu. in october, an unnamed official quoted using and expletive to
11:41 am
describe the prime minister calling him a coward for refusal to reach a peace deal with the palestinians. cnn, jerusalem. still ahead, did you know the government is using drones to track down undocumented immigrants at the border? each arrest costing $28,000. who pays for that? drew griffin has a special cnn investigation next. for protecting my future. thank you for being my hero and my dad. military families are thankful for many things. the legacy of usaa auto insurance could be one of them. our world-class service earned usaa the top spot in a study of the most recommended large companies in america. if you're current or former military or their family, see if you're eligible to get an auto insurance quote.
11:43 am
11:44 am
because i think everything should just work. works? works. works! works? works. works. for nearly a decade the u.s. is quietly patrolling hundreds of miles of the mexican border with unmanned drones. chasing down undocumented imgrants drug smugglers, and possibly terrorists but as drew griffin discovered this high flying technology comes at a
11:45 am
high price for taxpayers with questionable results, say some. >> reporter: they are sleek, mostly silent weapons of war, now battling the war on arizona's border. predator drones paling the skies in the hunt for illegal immigrants and according to the retired marine general who runs this program, they are proving invaluable. >> we could never see the border in the same ways we could before before we got these platforms. >> reporter: trouble is general randolph alice is the few in government who thinks so and a look at the price tag tells you why. report after report by the inspector general basically calling this entire operation a waste of taxpayer dollars. tom barry with the center for international policy studies the billions spent securing the border. nothing could be a bigger waste, he says, than the $28,000 spent on a predator drone to catch
11:46 am
just one illegal immigrant. you heard that right, $28,000 to catch a single illegal immigrant. >> it has been a waste since the program began in 2005. the inspector general says that we should not spend money. i think it should be shut down. >> reporter: seep up close, it's impressive technology. drones at 18,000 feet silently view the landscape below. determine and lock on to potential suspects crossing the vast arizona desert. commanded by a control team safely tucked inside a virtual cockpit, those controllers send the guards right to where they are needed. >> so this is happening now in realtime. that's the pilot of the drone. this is the person who is the second pilot. he's watching the camera. they have detected a group that's now crossing the border or illegally, potentially suspects and another group of gentlemen, which we can't show you, has the radar screen to
11:47 am
vector in agents to see, are these guys illegal? are they carrying dope? do they need to be arrested? that's happening right now. >> reporter: seems perfect until you do the math. that arrest according to the department of homeland security's inspector general cost you, the taxpayer, $28,000. >> that does not seem like an efficient way to protect the border. >> well that's one of the reasons that we wrote this audit. >> reporter: each drone cost $12 million. operations run $62 million a year. the entire program is $300 million. all for nine drones that fly part time. although he won't say it flat out, inspector general john ross's latest report is clear, military drones used by the customs and border patrol to catch illegal immigrants is a waste. >> the cpp fired back, and they are saying you, your office
11:48 am
inspector general did not capture a loft things we believe are valuable about the program that can't be measured. so the question you have to ask you're is what do we get from this? we have to measure investment and that's true in the government true in business and i think that's what the american taxpayer wapts. >> in the measure of the drone program, it's not measuring up. >> as we see it while it contributes to border security they have not put measurements in place whether it's effective. the measurements we saw show in fact it was not effective. >> reporter: the inspector general sayss job is to point out where money is wasted and the drones are a waste. yet they fly, and congress is even debating to buy more. tom barry, it's a clear example of congress and the customs and border patrol simply ignoring the facts. zblrks cbp refuses to set performance goals that it snubs its nose at various reports made
11:49 am
by government investigators. one can become very indig nant as a researcher and taxpayer. >> reporter: the taxpayer is spending $12 billion a year supposedly to secure the border which almost by almost all accounts is hardly secure with or without predator drones. >> all right, drew, 28 $28,000 what's the alternative? >> well the alternative, the guards hire more guards make arrests on the ground where the people are coming through roads, also at bus stops, at other forms of transportation and which right now they are not doing to the extent that they are, but 18,000 feet up is too high, too slow to get people on the ground. >> if the bottom line, $28,000 per person that's kind of the needle pricking a lot of people how much would it cost with the manpower there and the issue of their personal safety. >> right.
11:50 am
there's the great unknown in this and how much does the drones help the border guards on the ground who are credited with making these arrests? there's a lot of money manipulation and accounting finger pointing here, but the fact of the matter is there's many people who believe the drones are too expensive and not the right piece of equipment for the job. these were -- predator drones were built to get terrorists and kill them in afghanistan. now they are repurposed to patrol the border on the southwest side of the country. >> are critics now threatening to remove the program? >> no. you know that's the thing. >> oh? >> everyone wants to make it work even in congress the critics say, well, we have to have better accounting to see how they work and the general in charge of this wants to do a better job before he gets more but nobody says scrap the program. they say, let's try to make drones work before we buy more. >> those who are taking part in the program believe in the program and are mum about saying
11:51 am
