rushing it through, this is not a proud day for this chamber in history will show that. >> reporter: the republicans are not yet at the necessary 50 to get this through. ron johnson, steve baines, big question marks, they are concerned about small business, susan collins concerns have been addressed, jeff flake, lankford worried about the debt and have floated including triggers if growth addictions are not met, gerri moran expressed concerns about the deficit and said he plans to support the bill and then john mccain has voted against tax cuts before. gop leaders are trying to address the concerns, and the limit is part of the budget blueprint. >> republicans in congress campaigns on cutting taxes, we

meeting with the chinese president, the chinese told him the sanctions so far past against north korea were starting to take in effect but it does take time. it is debatable how much time there is to get the issue resolved. more images come out on the 15 rocket launched yesterday, the most powerful icbm tested by the regime to date, showing its impressive scale, north korea experts say pyongyang is in the elite countries, kim jung un looks jubilant, having a celebratory cigarette, donald trump turned kim jung un into a punchline. >> because these massive tax cut will be rocket fuel.

down. here is what it will take to stop kim jung un. >> he wants absolute certainty the united states is not going to do a regime change like he did on qaddafi and libya after they gave up their wmd and is not convinced that we would. and stop my programs, but you start doing training exercises with south korea, unacceptable to us, that drives a wedge between us and south korea and what that leads to is the united states getting the peninsula. we are at our loggerhead. because he offered that tells you something is there that we may be able to work out. heather: the marines joining the search for missing toddler

band. 12 minutes after the top of the hour, fox news alert, the vatican and times square, and isis targeting las vegas and should police be able to track you through your cell phone without a warrant? that question waived by the supreme court, legal expert ways both sides of the argument next. tainting ratings and and some outrage the nfl caving to pressure, paying millions of dollars to social justice, the deal reached overnight that players still are not happy with.

>> 16 in the morning on the east coast, the things there,

cell phone tracking. the major debate on personal privacy versus pursuit of justice. and could change the way you use your phone? thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. heather: let's break down the privacy case, and after police use cell phone records to track the location, a search warrant was not needed to obtain those phone records where it pains the location. the lower courts as people giving in to a third party should not expect privacy. the supreme court has been weighing in that if a warrant is required to obtain a cell phone location data, what do you think of this? the difference between the actual content of a text message versus the location of where the phone is?

>> the specific issue before the supreme court is whether law enforcement should have obtained a search warrant to obtain a cell phone record from the tower, the location of the defendant himself. in that case they obtained a court order under the federal communications act, search warrant requires us to have probable cause and crime in the record. the supreme court long-held if a consumer shares data with a third-party it is fair game and you don't need a warrant. even before the store communications act was enacted the supreme court ruled this thing wishing your fourth amendment privacy rights once you share data with a third-party, the cell phone company. heather: you can look at numbers involved in that, demands from law enforcement for cell phone location, at&t, 70,000 request, 53,000, total

of 124,000 requests, in 2016, we will see if law enforcement agrees with you. >> look, first of all, responding to prosecution, not the same as a shady suspect in public, this isn't real-time public information, this is retroactive searching pinpointing who they deem potentially a criminal and lobbying far more detail than that consumer has consented to share knowingly and technology advances and data advances, but our notions of privacy need to change and that doesn't fit the rubric of the law and the supreme court has ruled consistent with the fact that if you share data and it is rendered public you don't need a warrant but they started to

say things like this is advancing and it doesn't fit easily in the law, a search warrant to place gps on a person and to see cell phone contents, i eventually the court will catch up to their language. heather: if there were a murder in a specific area they could have access to these records, cell phone towers and look at different cell phone numbers in the business area to see one consistent with a different location they are investigating. >> the case before the supreme court is 7 years old, this technology has advanced television and.accuracy and location, we are not dealing anymore with 1 mi. radius we are used to. rapidly changing and accuracy

is terrifying. heather: thank you so much, appreciate your insight and we will be right back, stay with us.

disappointing, a lot of people agree with that on social media, take a look at this from october, you have a platform to speak out for people like me who have little to no voice, and play a sport, and have nothing, you are selfish and a fake. they are giving a lot of money to charity that matter to them. jillian: a student is $200 to saint jude after this tweet goes viral. >> heart was in the right place, check out this tweet from a college student that said this time of year it is about giving. i'm giving back to saint jude and the family supported by their amazing service, getting a $.2550 to every retweet, like i said this would super viral, she had over $200,000, she said in a statement to cbs i tweet

happened, summarize what happened. >> we set up a video talking about illegal immigrants and law-enforcement being able to do their jobs and enforce laws, the video started exploding right away, 10,000 an hour, then the video views stopped which is completely unusual. we attached it to an article, put a budget behind it to increase the number of people. heather: you spent a lot of money with facebook. >> all of a sudden people started getting notifications that it was malicious and they couldn't share the at as it was stopped for being in violation of their policies. heather: the original you just had the video and went of different route by attaching it to an article and when people tried to open the video it was malicious. >> you couldn't share the video so we reengaged in another way. facebook and facebook advertising is like being in an abusive relationship. when it is good it is good and everybody is happy and when it

is bad at a come down and you and it is a lousy situation it couldn't get worse. of the 20 is what everybody uses in terms of social media, communicating with friends, for the first part of the community. >> think about small businesses that are impacted by this, we spend $10 million a year, we can make a phone call and get that fixed, small businesses across the country their family livelihoods depend on facebook advertising and driving consumers through social media are being shut down and have no recourse, they don't know how to respond to situations. heather: making a phone call, getting it fixed so everybody knows this was not a fluke that happened. we contacted facebook to try to get back and what did they say? >> they responded and said we violated their terms and conditions to which we are very familiar with their terms and conditions, we asked what we violated, they responded we didn't actually violate any but they could stop and prevent any

adult content from being posted at any time for any reason. heather: the they are a private company. i looked at comments under your article and people were arguing back and forth, private company, don't was more government involvement telling them what they can do but at the same time it is part of how we communicate today. all over the world. >> the greater concern is the ability for businesses to provide for their families and people to have those conversations, and conservatives and law-enforcement for putting out content, support those causes, scary times, the definition of what we look at in 1984. heather: picking and choosing, any liberal causes are allowed to be posted free and clear but something to do with conservative values whether it be abortion or pro law-enforcement it is blocked. >> there is a facebook lynch

mob mentality know when is talking about, facebook rolled out a feature where you could record fake news is that has become a tool of the left to center content they don't once. if you work for a large corporation like verizon, if there's a consumer complaint filed there is a chain of command following documentation, this is very arbitrary, if one person can say it is okay -- the ability to turnarounds and have a big group of people say we are flagging this because we are offended by the algorithm on facebook -- >> if you are pro law-enforcement and don't like what is going on, conservative values you need to make your voice heard. >> and share the contents you like. heather: we will get a lot of response i am sure. the time is 20 minutes until the top of the hour. if you plan to fly for
