10:10 pm
doing wheeling and dealing in trading. >> the change in tone comes after critics on the left have hammered democratic leaders like nancy pelosi. whee she addressed the liberal nation convention last weekend she said snowden is not a hero and was quickly drowned out. critics on the right have charged that the president looks week for not being -- bringing the chinese and russians along. >> we will continue make sure we're following the various channels that are well-established and the rules their well-established to try to get this thing done. we have other business in the meantime. >> such as a weeklong effort to spotlight africa, including a visit to glory island and the notorious door of no return where millions of shackle slaves passed through on their way to america. >> a very poweeful moment whenever i can travel with my family. >> also focused on the health of former south african president nelson mandela who remains in

president obama is saying he will not do any wheeling and dealing to bring the nsa leaker back to the u.s. the guardian newspaper published secret documents showing the administration of the agency this week up records showing internet and e-mail usage of american citizens. joining me now eli lake. welcome. >> thank you very much for -aving me. lori: when the president says something like -- something for sure, i will not be scrambling just to get a 29-year-old hacker, not a leaker, he is downplaying mess. do you think he is trying to lessen the importance of the case? >> assuming that there would be some negotiation with the russians to try to get him extradited, which is probably on likely to lead to anything, it is as far negotiation tactic to publicly say won't make this a huge party because you're negotiating partner across the table says you will squeeze as
10:18 pm
for other concessions on things the russians would be interested in whether it be missile defense or our policy on georgia or other things. i think that there is a sense that this turn into a situation where, you know, the fate will be determined by larger geopolitical issues with moscow and i think that obama is simply saying he does not want to go down the road. at the same time it looks like he is not singing from the same songbook as the rest of his administration who are telling us how brave and horribleethis breaches. a week or two ago people were calling him a traitor. now the president is calling him a hacker. they're is a huge difference. i never thought we had enough information to call him a traitor if you read the definition in the constitution. they're is a definite change in terms. lori: there are two themes, the geopolitical out, and our relationship wwth so many of our colleagues were international peers and it is kind of

concerning the way china has reacted. you mentioned the situation with russia, the situation with ecuador says in a -- sang it is waiving favorable trade rights and has also offered the u.s. 23 million in aid for education about human rights. let's start with this whole referendum if you want to call it that and what it says about the way the rest of the world views the united states right now. >> right now it does not seem like the united states is feared smaller countries like ecuador appeared to be taunting the united stttes. it reminds me in some ways, not unique to obama. after hurricane katrina, hugo chavez offered all this aid to the people of your lens. this is what petty despot's will tend to do a times to try tab make themselves look more important among their own populations which in ecuador there is a terrific story which ironically show the ecuadorian government purchasing israeli equipment to monitor cell phone

traffic inside their country. everybody kind of does it, but the u.s. got caught. lori: the underlying question is in regard to the danger of all of this information, the national securrty of these leaks . glenn greenwald told you -- and i'm curious. before i get to this, i want to know why. is it because he is not part of the story? >> well, he is definitely part of the story. i will look a gift horse in the mouth. -hat story did pretty well for us. thank you for the interview. lori: fair point. basically he tells you that snowdon shared encoded copies of these documents he took with people all over the world and if something should happen to him he will make sure that information is being released. they're is a significant danger. the president is downplaying the risk. that is concerning. >> we don't know the full extent of what he has, and we don't know what is -- i mean, the
10:21 pm
assumption is -- and he has ttlked about this. there are technical blueprints for how the national security agency actually gets the data out of the fiber-optic cables and the locations of their stations and the real technical know-how that helps the agency set up with a call platforms to vacuum up a lot of this kind of data and so forth. so we know what he did. he fabricated encryption keys within the national security agency that allowed him access to servers that he himself as a systems administrator was not supposed to access. lori: do we know what else he might have? >> we don't know. the director said that today. he does not know the extent. and the fbi has investigated all kinds of possibilities of this point. that is part of it.
10:22 pm
the unknown level of what he was able to get. the fact they're all over the internet and other people have these files and you just have to give the password and it will be all over the place is that kind of wikileaks situation. instead of sensitive diplomatic cables, these are the most classified secrets in the u.s. government, signal intelligence. and if he also got the other side of the mission which is information assurance and doing information security for the u.s. intelligence committee in the military, well, that is the super nightmare scenario. that would potentially mean that he would have things like the nuclear codes. lori: we have to run, but do you think the administration should be doing more to get this guy back and find out this information? >> i'm not entirely sure what more the administration -- i don't know what more they could do. it is unlikely that they could order a special operations rate

10:36 pm
welcome above to talk to environmental and irs so what you are sponsoring the white house vote tomorrow, wwat do you think the outcome will be? why should an impasse? >> frankly i believe cahow hit will pass on the bipartisan basis we have done with this issue it haa bipartisan support and i suspect this will to but it recognizes we have tremendous resources under federal control whether offshore or federal land. for us but to use those resources would have an economy growing very slowly slowly, if we can become more energy independent overtime, to create american jobs in the more secure because we have energy created within our area, that is a winner in that is the reason for the bell. lori: the environmental
10:37 pm
concerns seem to carry a lot of weight. >> also in the bill by the way we put it in and codify the reorganization was in place during the bp still. that is important did with that comes more scrutiny. i reject the notion this is not environmentally friendly at all because what we will do in this legislation is make sure there is certainty what the of regulations are. , i heard it from those regulated tell us what they are in we willlcomply. so we codified the of recommendations as to the agency of the oversee offshore drilling. lori: so the commission raised a lot of eyebrows to interpret it as a war on call in to it is a huge economic driver in to be the
10:38 pm
number one source of electricity. what is your take on that and what should the outcome be with regards to coal? >> we have an abundance of coal and it is foolish not to utilize the resource. i am in favor of all of the above energy. i believe weeshould have coal, hydro, nuclear, i am in favor of all of that but the president needs to pick winners and the losers if he is conducting a war on coal. lori: and export said the monthly record so that it is okay export mostly to asian countries and deal with the pollution but it is not enough in the united states? >> that is the irony because

technology here a and for him to suggest we should not have been a coal plants year it ships the product someplace else who to not be digitalized jazz them up -- as well as they are here but they try to pick winners and losers and solyndra comes to mind. lori: let me rigo to the latest on the irs with the ways and means testimony. house oversight committee meets tomorrow morning and then said i made nothing wrong but then took the fifth amendment and he will decide if you ask back for testimony. what is the outcome? >> when she testified she made a statement then @%serted the fifth amendment rights. that is contrary to what it is so we will have a resolution saying when she
10:40 pm
made a statement before she asserted her right that she waived her fifth amendment we will have the of resolution and i suspect that will pass to give us options because the may 22nd committee meeting was resurfaced -- recess but this was the first up that she waived her fifth amendment rights and we will put that in a resolution to go from there. lori: we will watch that. thank you so much for being our guest. and to break down what is driving the market's next.

10:45 pm
500,000 of five 5% from the recent high and that was constructive. so i look at charts if you look at the 20 year chart you will see it is very much in a long-term uptrend. we have to keep in mind corrections as long as it is positive movement that those are a counter trend moved and it has been orderly with this direction and there are buyers waiting on the sidelines waiting for a good news waiting to get back into the market. >> sealock at levels in just over 1600 so what is the support and resistance levels? with the above oversold and overbought? what is the next catalyst were milestone mark? >> for support of the s&p
10:46 pm
500 i am looking at a level that is important first because that for resistance at the 2007 high and it is important to preserve that breakout with a 30 year trading range to the upside so with the 1550 support level that upturn is in tact and preserves our long-term target of 1780 that i think is realistic 2014. once we got above that to clear the charter of resistance that made the path of least resistance higher which still has that positive long-term momentum so we have seen no impact to go intermediate. lori: let's move away from equities with the breakdown of the price of gold moving to $1,200 an ounce. where are we with precious metal? said a you don't focus on
10:47 pm
fundamentals with the federal reserve and the commentary there is absolutely no inflation in the u.s. economy right now and nobody sees any reason for gold. >> with the short-term downtrend is accelerated and 1200 is importunes current to have support around 1160 @%t it may be a floor for gold but it is not something i want to be adding exposure to it does not have any buy signals and right now momentum is to the down side and to where it has been since 2001. and it could give you climactic selling and that could be happening in the price of gold. lori: that is interesting discussion. thank you.
