>> because it is good mon. especially as we are looking at ways to increase their profit margins whethey a the recoil against excessive data fees, and i need a way to make more moy and data is a fantastic way to do it. gerri: one executive talking about what they are doing describes data as the new oil. tell us exactly what they are tracking. >>t snds like tracking your web browsing a your location tung nuts together with the demographic data. i li in las vegas, right now i am at the casi, and that is a way to pilots together, a clear picture of who people actually

ar gerri: you cld in las vegas be arching for some sort of sporrs clothing company on your smart pho and everybody in the world woul know that and send you ads and offers. >> in theory. gerri: but iis true, right? >> yes. try to do things in aggregate, not quite as personal, i will get pissed off unless this is specifically what eric wants. gerri: informaon is provided solely on an aggregate basis. not for individual customers who choose not to pticipate but can the state o ms. data reallye

anonymous? >> that is kind of a million dollars question here. very difficult to anonymize da data. it comes down to kind of, and i n't know the specifics but if verizon is saying this kind demographic information tied to location without any scific data, that is one thing. if they anonymize data to say have added, that sort of stuff might be able to be anonymize. gerri: is it legal? phone companies shall not divulge the content of any communications. thatounds like exactly at they are doing. >> i think what they would argue

is that are no divulge any of the content of you commicatn, not looking at your text messages or recording your phone calls. saying somebody s at this website at this location and we will give you an aggregate location of it. a trend of 20,000 people, not one person at this location set this. gerri: you have a lot more confidence in their desire to keep the information private than i do. thank you for coming on. >> thank you. gerri: coming up, i will be joined the author of our medical ivacy week. he will tell us how stores are using your medical data for profit. and how they knew one man's daughter is prrgnant before dad did. we'll tell you how that happened, and in the meantime,

even somebody used to speing all day ong. get medicine and that sort of thing, whatever they want to salvage what has become a beautiful day. is hoand difficult for people out here now. it is only going to get worse expecting more of these storms trying to get as much accomplished now as they can. gerri: the ap had a story which i am sure you, the impact of that canadwas muchhe blast of hiroshima. so strong, really devastating. no questions being asked of those schools. are you hearing any of these questis of the safety of the schools and how ey try to keep is young children safe? >> we're hearing lot about it. new schools ha undergroundnd

shelters, enough to house the students. near homes, legislation being posed for any new homes in the area to havenderground shelters. the school were seven kids died was an older schl. toby keith had gone to one of those schools and it never had a storm shelr, and after 1999 the1999that did not requirelder schools to build underground shelters. that is something they are considering now. i'm sure the families wish hey had d that. many kids we traumatized by it. putting kids safety s to come rst and that is under consideration. gerri: one more question, a lot of people in east coast wder why those homes don't ha basements, many of them. why is that?

>> in some cases it comes down to money. people aren't load everywhere. these are e upper-middle-class neighborhood, a t of people's lives were saved because they were in storm shelters. the evidence is suggestive those who died, a couple at a -@7-eleven, if those people re not underground, if anybody had died underground we have not beenble to pinpnt it. as a a resultt they have to rethink everything. if you are going to live in tornado alley and a pla that has been target time after time after time, it is something you have to consider. gerri: terrific job, we have been watching every minute of it.

really rich what we are needing to move in and refine so we are pushing into the transportation fuel component of this country. a little under 800 million gallons per day in thisountry, we produce 300 million ourlves. around 40 milln gallons per day. gerri: and a lot of op feel like this is important, the bill itself is designed to jumpstart the program and doing work around for a president who has been blocking this. people are saying they oppose it, they d't oppose it, where is this going go tonight? >> this is a work arou. if he will not do the heavy lift, we will. we will send it to the senate. there is bipartisan support in the senate and we anticate they will pass it and it will go

to the president's desk. he may sign it intoaw, we hope you will. gerri: are you kidding me? i thought he was against it. >> you never know. we can sit by and do nothing and say he would veto anything in the past, or we could challenge on this. that is to get the pipeline built. there's a lot of democrats in the senate up for reelection. we know that. the american people are sick and tired of paying 350 per gallon per day. if we're going to push ourselves to energy independence, listing business.

gerri: it is languishing, it is sitting there, and canadian officials about this very issue. look, they were going to go somewhe else. if the predent dsn't get behind this idea, the jobs, the oil, the money will go to another altogether. maybe china. >> and then what are we going to do? what we are importing, what we're using. will have import more and ported from a cartel, opec, china. we are trading it to people owing us.and they turn around and they buy our debt.

gerri: here's what was interesting to me. spirit airlines was last. the ceo says we are the mcdonald's of airlines, custers know what they are getting wi us, we are the cheapo. >> kind the old story people hold their nose and y it is cheap. the money brings them in. low fares are only part of the equati and nobody emphasizes more than spirit. anything from a carry-on luggage to a checked bag per bottle of juice, bag of peanuts or anything you can imagine, to make your flight is going to cost you extra.

if you have a nd for a basic seed, you will pay. when you check a bag, the fee will go up depending on where you do it amuch as $100. gerri: tracking down the best fares. we always worked the web. check third-paparty sites, what are those? >> it is important to check the airline and third-party sites because while the prices don't differ much at all, they have different reservation systems. pplier inventory is added and deleted at different times. i wor worked them like a piano keyboard. going back and forth because you find out some sites may remove the inventory later on the

airline itself may have a special sale they don't let the third-party say. gerri: areou trying to tell us something? >> they may say yo luggage is overweight. one of the biggest ways to get killed. i think that may wgh morehan 40 pounds basic allotment could, to upward of $200. that is outrageous. stakestates the weight limits. gerri: thank you so much. always a pleasure. with the spark miles card from capital one, bjorn earns unlimited rewas for his small business take theseags to room 12 please.
