this. if your computer is in your home, even if it's off the government's or hackers for that matter can come in and access it and look through your camera lens and listened your conversation. it can do this in thing with your cell phone. >> that's absolutely correct. basically your computer has many components to it, and a microphone that is built into the camera and the actual camera itself can be used at survey you and what your doing. it just came out recently where they can turn android devices into listening devices as well as pretty much any smart phone out there. any aspect you use technology that has the capability of listening can be bowed and tapped. you hear conversations with in your own home. melissa: anything i can do to protect myself? i've heard of people replace a little something over the camera lens of their laptop or shut it. what does that achieve? >> in know, think of security as this chicken egg. you think it's hard on the

outside but you a bit in the cracks and everything inside of it, you know, is soft. that is really where we are. employing the same kind of thing that hackers are using. during the same techniques that hackers use on a regular basis to get access to these computers and unfortunately there's nothing really out there to protect against that of the ban on playing your computer and hoping that when you go on next time you aren't subject to these type of things. it's a rampant issue across the board. the hacking community alone. we're struggling, trying to protect ourselves. melissa: i would have to unplug my computer. it's the same thing with my phone? have to take the battery out. >> that's right. it was proven that even when -- if you turn your telephone off completely there is the capability of being able to track information like your gps signal. it's really critical to understand that all of these devices are like that. the brand new exports coming out. the connect that is built into
5:04 pm
their that actually has video and audio will be powered on all the time, even if it's completely turned off which goes right back to microsoft. melissa: this seems like a golden opportunity. some in the computer geniuses out there who are making algorithms to trade stocks and make fortunes and doing this and that that somebody would come up the way, a very voluble piece of software or hardware that you could use to protect yourself. there has to be loads of people working on this. nobody has done a yet? >> people working on it, but say you're an organization or group that has 500 people trying to work to a solution. you have equally hundreds of thousands of factors figuring out a way of bypassing the round it. what you find is a cat and mouse game where you continuously make strides in fix things. then they figure out a way to get around of which is over struggling with. there are a protection mechanisms out there to try to help you, but hackers are getting around it and getting access. melissa: and doesn't it make it

vulnerable point. melissa: you're saying my having conspired on me as well? i believe us on movie like that. i'm already afraid. >> same here. melissa: avoided at all cost for safety reasons. thank you. these tactics are supposedly on the being used to spy on criminal suspects, but with all that has happened recently can we really trust the government not to utilize these capabilities if they exist? i'm joined now by an attorney. welcome to the show. they say they are only going to use this in cases of organized crime, a child pornography, and counter-terrorism. this is where a former official said last. if you believe that you have not heard anything about the scandal or the irs. i mean, do you trust them to stick to this? >> there is always a concern for privacy. it's a balancing of the security and safety. a balancing between us having our privacy rights and the

government respecting the boundaries. do we believe that certain individuals one of these power? history shows that sometimes people don't do what they're supposed to. melissa: what is legal? they're saying this is a way for them to, you know, learn your keystrokes, passwords, use the camera to see what is going on at a place where they suspect something. did they have to get -- i'm not a lawyer. to they have to get a warrant? what do they need? >> award is necessary. there will have the fourth amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures and has to be probable cause. recently tonight the government in a federal case a war to tap into a computer and extract files and use the computers camera to take pictures. there was a concern that the information of innocent third parties would be scooped up. that is what they have to show. melissa: they have to show that won't happen, but if you immediately think of the case
5:08 pm
with the nsa spying scandal and gathering all that they may need it later in and saying, if we want to use it later we will go and get a subpoena them but gather it in the meantime. could they be listening into my house and store it summer? >> we don't know. they say they're collecting manage data. what they do with the of permission is not publicly -- melissa: collecting. >> the general information and e-mails and the communications, who is being called, subject matter, subject lines, e-mail addresses, but not so much the content. we don't know. we have heard different reports on what the government is doing. melissa: that's right. there were asked directly during a hearing, have you listened in on the phone calls and they said, we're not allowed to do that or we're not allowed to have that -- didn't say whether or not they've actually done it. >> you're right. but bear in mind, the same people complaining about the intrusion on civil liberties are going to be the first people to objective there is another major attack.
5:09 pm
so it's a balancing act. melissa: i know if it would be the first, but i understand what you're saying. in the case of the boston bomber, we were able to look into a room on one of the computers and see what was coming. at the same time, i don't want them working in my kids is the work of the computer. thank you. next on "money," forget a-rod losing money. we will tell you why the decision could be making money. major league baseball. wait until you hear this. plus jet blue kisses all coach brand goodbye. the discount airline is bringing first-class cabins. will it come at the expense of its most die-hard customers? this ceo joins us. more "money" coming out. ♪ my mantra?

5:15 pm
throughout the entire process. it could be the rest of the season. a lot of comment so far today that it is all about money for everyone involved. here is a twist. all decision is looking like it could be a big moneymaker for the lead. here to explain why, fox sports radio host and psychologist. let me start with you first. this is my theory. everyone is talking about this, and i want to see how he is possibly going to walk out onto the field and see what will happen. are his own fans and chicago going to of boo him? and of the camera will be about this time his face waiting for his reaction. there will have all-star prince tonight. is this a boost for the lead? >> absolutely not. this is a dark day. one of the darkest and major-league baseball history. don't listen to any of the spin coming from the television
5:16 pm
networks or major-league baseball. you're talking about one of the most successful players of all time, for the second time. the suspension could have been lifetime for the better interest of the game. the yankees should be embarrassed that he is on the field tonight. baseball should be embarrassed. an important point i want to make, don't let anyone say anything else other than this is the beginning of the steroid era, not the middle or the end. they're not doing a great job of cleaning up the sport. this is an absolute disaster. melissa: hang on. this is what i woke up to this morning. the front of the new york post says just go. this is what is staring at them everywhere he goes, telling him just go. tonight he will step out onto the field. he could have accepted a deal, like everyone else. that was listed.
5:17 pm
instead, you will go out. what is he thinking? >> well, i think what is going on, this guy is a ruthless competitor, always has been. that is what made him a winner. everyone loves a winner, except they're not living in right now. i call a little bit of the lance armstrong theory with what is happening. he does have a lesson from. no matter what they tell you -- melissa: what is that sandra? i'm always right? >> that's right. melissa: what is it? >> all of those things. looking at rationalization where he had to do it, if he ever admits to it this time around because he had to be the winner. there was pressure, and he had his natural talent anyway. other people do it, and they have been picking on him more than anyone else. as you say, no matter what they tell you it's always about the "money," and i think that's a
5:18 pm
big factor. melissa: and the brick, will bring it back to you because they're is a lot of "money" a stake. $36 million is the price that he would be paid during the suspension. all told $95 million left on his contract. a lot of people say this is a collision between the league and the team to help the yankees get out of having to pay and the rest of that money. they came out with a statement very upset about people casting that aspersion on them, saying that is not what is about. >> it's too bad. again, they put themselves in this position. it was our request date for them to sign an unknown jeter to an extension on his deal and give him all these glorious bonuses. it's a mess of a contract. i keep reminding everybody. he would like to get 60 to $80 million left because he's not welcome in new york anymore.

5:20 pm
look of himself and say, yes, i am a winner. i am a good person. in some way the rationalization. they're out to give me because i was the premier player. melissa: but he is doing and will keep doing it. isn't he delusional? >> well, just because you're paranoid does not mean people aren't out to get you. i think the bottom line here is the he is a target, but it is a dark day for him. i feel sorry for the guy even though many people : achieve it. the fact is, he's a human being, struggling. this was all about. melissa: how does he do? >> psychologically will be in the is the world. therefore is going to perform. melissa: thank you both. so here's our "money" question of the day. should a-rod be allowed to play and get paid during his appeal? quite a few of you today with

5:27 pm
thought processes that this would get in there more quickly, but it is also an easier target because it is an above-ground large facility that could be knocked out relatively easily, either by ourselves or more likely israel. what your thoughts? >> roughly at is an accurate assessment. the reality is iran is pursuing both routes. they are sort of hedging their bets in making sure they are pursuing all technical options. there are three elements to every nuclear program. fuel enrichment, and which uranium enrichment or plutonium extraction. the second is what position, taking the material and turning it into a nuclear weapon. the third is the delivery system, in the case of iran, the ballistic missile. working on all three elements, and there is no indication whatsoever that our sanctions have deterred the behavioral. melissa: is there any chance that you know now they have a

new president in office, do we have an opportunity to have a more productive dialogue? >> sure. we can try, but if you look at the iranian regime, they have a deep state commitment to this nuclear program. on not predicting when it will be able to weather and ice into a nuclear weapon or if anyone can accurately predict that, but it is clear they have an interest in developing the capability to make a nuclear weapon. they are proceeding on all three fronts and there is nothing that we have done so far that has dissuaded them from us. having a new president gives us an opportunity may be to conduct background talks, maybe send messages through intermediaries, but unless the regime wants to give up this program they're not going to. melissa: we have to assume they're not going to want to. is there anything we can do? >> start looking at whether or not sanctions work. broadly speaking they have to intentions. melissa: really have a couple seconds left. they are not working because
5:29 pm
obviously they are charging ahead. closer and closer to having a weapon. perhaps they don't care if people are uncomfortable are starving. is our only option at this point forced? >> there are a couple other options we can look at. the regime is dependent on its maritime lines of communication, the national iranian tanker company and its container ship fleet. there is a possibility or probability that the next step passed sanctions short of outright warfare will be united states navy boarding in detaining iranian vessels far away from the iranian coast. melissa: thank you for coming. >> and you. melissa: coming up on "money," jet blue going upscale. premium seats coming to a transcontinental flight. will ditching its all coach brand alienate its most devoted customer? we are going to talk to the ceo of jet blue and find out. plus, ups is the first retailer

this ceo of amazon is throwing down a pile of it, personally buying a "washington post" for $250 million. as a result of the deal the company will be changing its name to kindle kill their newspaper business. i'm getting. and nice bump after hours. look at that. so the rumor, gossip. we have it all year. today the word on wall street is all about be intensifying war among for wall street titans and herbalife. new reports that there was a complaint filed against a hedge fund alleging that the fund broke insider trading laws. what is it about herbalife that has for billionaires' battling in one colossal food fight? with me now is the "wall street journal" spencer jacobs. a lot of stock out there. why did these four guys have to crowd in and fight over this?
5:35 pm
>> the interesting thing is, you can look at it like a schoolyard fight. someone daring someone else to do something. these guys just happened have billions of dollars to throw around. more going on there under the surface because he is so strident in his stand on herbalife and is put some much money it play. melissa: which for anyone who has been living under a rock, he says that herbalife is essentially a pyramid scheme. there are more and more people getting into it and selling it to other people. as soon as they run out of more distributors the whole thing will collapse. is that a fair assessment? >> that is the gist of it. he hopes their is a trade investigation to prompt the collapse or cause doubt. he also questioned the accounting recently. he is trying everything. now he's going after soros saying that disclosing to some people that he was building a stake which made the stock jumped is another thing that is not too kosher.
5:36 pm
melissa: and if you look at the trend of it, these billionaires have come and one after another on one side. every time you hear -- the latest round. every time you hear about any billionaire piling and it boosts the stock. three guys together, you have seen of the past year between icon and the others, the stock is gone up almost 100 percent. in the meantime, they are all putting all of this pressure in the other direction. so he says there is something illegal calling on. what do you think? >> in terms of the business of herbalife -- melissa: now, and terms of the piling on in the latest thing, i group meeting that was reported where they said this is his big thinking. he will get in. easy money. everyone who was there would raise out and buy it ahead of him piling into the stock. this is a golden opportunity. we have seen what happened.
5:37 pm
here's another. it's going up. i'm getting on board. >> its gray area because if you come out and announce you have not covered a single share, or made this massive sure bet and you have such a big position, this reminds me of the late 19th century when you get in on this shoreside in the other squeeze them out. it was done much more frequently . it's harder to collude, are to get together and say you buy some and not by some that guy will have to buy it back. melissa: banning together and having a laugh? >> maybe not. it's publicly known that he is out there. the fact that he did not go out and say he had bought anything. he did not file a 13-which you have to within a certain number of days. so all it is is someone else going out there saying that he had accumulated something. he didn't make any statement. if they get together and said, let's let it leak that i
5:38 pm
accumulated shares, that might not be true. it's really very fuzzy. melissa: talking about the company itself, he is quoted as saying i'm very disappointed. i think of him as a humanitarian . instead, his firm is trying to profit off the backs of low-income latinos who have been misled that herbalife is the answer to the american dream. this is very harsh criticism. he is saying these guys are getting in and pushing up stock and all of this getting the fact that this company is taking advantage of people who have very little money, investing all the time and money to try and make their dream come true. he is saying, we should all be talking about the fact that this is not a real business. >> in may be right and he may be very, very wrong. he is in the business of making money for its shareholders. he is making a very interesting point because it is and does resemble a pyramid scheme. that is kind of how they
5:39 pm
operate. a very fine line. they do a lot of things to make it not clear whether or not people are buying things from distributors which is the primary source of sale and sales to end users who are not associated with the company which is hard to tell. he is a humanitarian for sure, but his job, he is not managing the fund any more. this is a lot of money. melissa: thank you so much. interesting. so jet blue taking the airline industry to new heights, announcing premium seats in 11 of its aircraft, and i mean premium. it will live fully flat, some even have the ability to close off completely which is a feature unique in the u.s. market. the ceo joins me now on the phone. thank you so much for joining us. sorry, david. what was behind this move? >> good afternoon to you.
5:40 pm
in san diego today at the global business travel association unveiling our enhanced experience from new york to l.a. and san francisco. this is a premium offering. you are correct. this will include white-flat seating including the first domestic sweet. we are quite excited. melissa: you know, it seems like your whole brand was about the fact -- it was like democracy in an airplane. everyone is the same. great seats for every passenger. everyone gets a television. we will run on time. it was built on the idea that everyone is equal. it seems like your changing that. >> it's interesting. our core experience, i've don't let arting use the word coach. our core experience remains the same. this is nine years in a row j.d. power and associates, boston category.
5:41 pm
when we look at the core experience to match the end of the day this what our customers of said. i love you guys, but i've won't fly to places like l.a. and san francisco because you don't have some type of further enhanced experience, premium offering. we are solving both of those. melissa: that was a big deal. you don't have service that is fast enough on a lot of planes. it can be very slow. you guys will have a faster rate. you're trying to capture what is a very attractive market in the airline industry which is a flight between new york and san francisco and new york and l.a., something or you can charge a premium. for you this is all about capturing those extra dollars. a lot of people, like he said, would not fly jet blue because they did not want to fly essentially coach. they don't want to fly coach from new york to san francisco. incrementally, how much money does this mean?
5:42 pm
