last 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ hi, everyone. i'm tamron hall, "news nation" is following developing news, a live picture at a firehouse in new jersey within the hour governor chris christie will meet with homeowners impacted by hurricane sandy. all eyes are on whether he will answer more questions about the ongoing investigations surrounding his administration after taking questions during a live radio call-in show last night. christie responded directly to the claim made by an attorney for former port authority aide david wildstein that evidence exists he knew about the lane closures on the george washington bridge.

>> the most important issue is, did i know anything about the plan to close these lanes, did i authorize it, did i know about it, did i approve it, did i have any knowledge of it beforehand? and the answer is still the same, it's unequivocally no. >> christie confirmed his office has been subpoenaed by the u.s. attorney investigating and he addressed his former deputy chief of staff bridget kelly refusing to turn over documents citing the fifth amendment. >> i know everything i needed to know from a point of employment for bridget kelly when she didn't tell me the truth and i fired her. and wife' said to all these people that have lawyers now, is that i hope they would share information with us, but i also understand that people have rights and they're going to exercise those rights. >> now, christie's event with homeowners affected by sandy comes at a time when he's also facing a federal audit into

whether his administration misused sandy funds last year. he did not address that last night. nbc's ron allen joins me now. ron, we also know the allegations from the mayor of hoboken as well here. this is another opportunity for chris christie to make a statement and perhaps even answer a few questions if he's posed some. >> i doubt that he will in this particular forum. hurricane sandy is certainly an issue he feels comfortable dealing with and i would doubt he's going to take or answer any questions about these scandals, ease allegations surrounding him. last night was a monthly talk to the governor radio show he does. it was a friendly environment. he wasn't questioned very strenuously and he made that bottom line statement that he did not know about this. he's really put himself on the record and in a corner, perhaps, in terms of not even knowing about this whole bridge closure thing. today we learned that of the 20 subpoenas that were issued requests for documents and so forth, only four people have

complied fully with that. the deadline was yesterday. significant also that several people have taken the fifth and are not going to provide documents to the legislative committee investigating it including bridget kelly. the more significant thing is there is the u.s. attorney investigating as well requesting documents because that is a criminal probe, that's going forward, and the bottom line for chris christie is all of this is going to go on for some time. today he's out there trying to conduct business as usual. later this week he goes to texas to the dallas/ft. worth area and next week to chicago in his capacity as head of the republican governors association, so he's trying to get on with business as usual, put up a strong defense and we'll have to see over the weeks and months to come as more information leaks, more e-mails, more documents if his statement about what he knew, when he knew it as he says, holds up. >> ron, thank you very much. joining me now is asbury park press columnist john young. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me, tamron. >> my colleague ron reported

that it's unlikely that chris christie will take questions at this latest event and he's attempting to conduct himself with the business as usual attitude. the answers you heard from the governor last night, will those answers allow him to essentially wait for this to play out and play his role as a governor not affected by this scandal? >> yeah. he -- well, he did i think pretty much what we expected him to do which was to make his basically his defense which has been pretty standard. i didn't know anything about it, what i've told you so far is what i'm telling you tonight and then make the argument that he needs to get on with the business of governing the state and governing for the people of the state and hence this visit today where he's basically going to be meeting with sandy survivors. >> well, as noted by governor christie, he fired bridget kelly, she's one of five people who have been fired or resigned

in wake of this scandal and we now know that kelly is the third chris christie official to plead the fifth behind stepien and wildstein. governor christie in his remarks on the radio said he encourages these individuals to give the documents and to say -- give the documents and answer necessary questions here. what is left regarding the questions given last night his very stern and absolute answering of whether he knew before, after or in the makings of these bridge closures. >> well, i think we're just really going to have to wait and see what the documents say and they right now are under lock and key. what they've received so far and we'll see what may be coming out with them. his statement urging people to corporate with the investigators

and to hand over documents is not really new. he actually said that in his january 9th press conference urging wild stein to talk -- >> that was before -- i'm sorry that was before at least bridget kelly pled the fifth as well. >> yeah. that's a pretty safe thing to say, when someone is going to plead the fifth to urge them to do it but then say i recognize their rights to do the opposite. >> and big picture here, you've got a new cnn/orc poll out that shows that christie has fallen behind the gop presidential fill of those folks believed to be interested in running for office. he's at 10% versus 24% overall. he's still making trips, going to go to cpac. last year he wasn't invited this year he is going to attend that meeting of the most conservative in the party. what are you hearing regarding his desire to look past being the governor of new jersey and presidential aspirations? has he put the kibosh on his

team even looking at that while dealing with the issue at hand? >> well, i think the administration is in survival mode and his political team is in survival mode and that makes sense given what's happening. you know, it came out today in the "des moines register" some of the big iowa people that flown to new jersey in 2012 to urge him to run are, at best, hedging their bets about what they might do in 2016 with some saying that what happened with the george washington bridge and his staff at this point is of concern. so some of those folks who may have been in this corner, they're hedging their bets a little bit and we'll see what happens going toward with that. >> all right. thank you very much. it sounds to be the case with everything, we'll see what happens going forward from his presidential aspirations to this investigation. we are following developing news in the second -- a series of powerful winter storms sweeping across the country.

this latest storm has the potential to impact about 118 million people in at least 32 states, dumping snow and ice from colorado to new england. kansas city and st. louis are already feeling the brunt of the storm which will move to the chicago area tonight before making its way east. hundreds of flights in and out of chicago's o'hare have been canceled and more than 1500 delayed nationwide. the severe weather is not just impacting travel. it's taking a financial toll as well. an estimated 60 million households will see their heating bills jump 50% this winter. that's a $4.5 billion hit for families. and flight disruptions will cost another $2.5 billion in extra charges for passengers forced to pay for hotels and meals. and with a third storm threatening to hit the northeast over the weekend, it does not look like this winter is about to ease up any time soon.

janet shamlyen is live with a bleak picture behind you. >> hello. kansas city is absolutely getting hammered right now. take a look around here. plows have been coming through here all day, every 30 minutes or so, and yet you can still see that roads are completely snow packed. down here look at the fluffy snow, even though coming down with shovels and salt we're still seeing a lot of it. look up like on the hills here which are really a problem area, completely snow covered and the temperature is continuing to drop. we are 24 degrees this morning. we're in some places right now the high teens or the low 20s. and the winds are going to pick up so that is a problem. not just here in kansas city. west of here topeka, they've got inches. a little less here but we're going to see snow like this in this area for about the next six hours or so. the city is essentially shut down today but you can see some people are feeling like they can venture out now and get on the roads and that has caused accidents on interstate 70. interstate 70 in central

missouri is completely shut down in one direction and closed in several parts in others. they say it was like a four-hour delay there. this is hitting hard as you indicated. it's all moving to the northeast and as it does, temperatures will get even more bitterly cold here. we will be in the low teens overnight and into tomorrow morning. and while many people will want to go back to work tomorrow, tamr tamron, at least the mayor of kansas city is suggesting that they stay home one more day. >> all right. >> back to you. >> thank you so much. let me bring in the weather channel meteorologist kelly cas. this third storm we're going to move ahead to that one, apparently as you already well know, the path of this storm is uncertain at this point? >> yes. that's exactly right, tamron. the jury is still out on that third storm but we've had back-to-back storms so far this winter season and new york city by the way three feet of snow so far just this year. that puts us about 23 inches above your average up to this point. yet we have another storm on the way. it's affecting us across the

southern plains as janet was talking about. whiteout conditions at times in kansas city and along interstate 70. power outages, thou sappeds are without their power right now in arkansas with an ice storm that is currently under way there. the blue on the map is indicating the snow. the green is where you have the heavy rain and the pink is the icy mix that we are concerned about going forward across the ohio valley. that puts cincinnati into that icy mix as we get into the early morning hours of tomorrow. chicago, a full-fledged snowstorm for you guys. this could be one for the books as well as far as how much snow we've seen so far this year. cleveland, a lot of wind and snow headed your way. that eventually yes, we will see the snow filling in once again across the northeast. tamron, back to you. >> thank you so much. following developing news from new york's laguardia airport where the all clear was given after a partial evacuation. several baggage workers spotted a smoking piece of luggage on the tarmac prompting an evacuation of terminal c.

the bomb squad responded. a passenger on a delta flight 5208 is being questioned about this bag. the evacuation comes on a day that hundreds of passengers were already being affected by delayed or canceled flights. we'll continue to follow this story and bring you updates there. still ahead, target admits to a senate package that it knew about the data breach affecting 40 million customers earlier than previously said and earlier than they told customers. they held on to this information for a week. we'll have the very latest on that breach and we'll talk with senator richard bloomenle that coresponsing a bill to hold companies accountable for failing to tell you if there's a hacking. the second day of jury selection in the stand your ground trial against michael dunn who police say fired his weapon eight or nine times killing an unarmed teenager in a dispute over loud music. now news organizations are challenging the judge's decision not to allow cameras in the

the chief financial officer of target today admitted the company knew its computers had been hacked several days earlier than had previously acknowledged and one of the largest data breaches in his country's history affecting 110 million customers. the admission came in a statement before target's chief financial officer john mulligan

testified at a senate hearing today. he appeared along with the chief information officer for neiman marcus which had its computers hacked recently. in a statement target's cfo said it took several days to confirm the data breach and he issued an apology. >> i want to say how deeply sorry we are for the impact this incident has had on our guests, your constituents. we know this breach has shaken their confident in target. >> joining me now live senator blumenthal of connecticut a member of the judiciary committee who held today's hearing. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> sorry only goes so far and you want to take an extra step here to protect consumers, but first this admission by target that it waited at least a week before informing consumers that their system had been hacked, your reaction to that news? >> delays in notification are reprehensible because they derive consumers of the

opportunities of protecting themselves, that is, taking steps like scrutinizing their bills or imposing a credit freeze on their accounts that will stop the identity thieves that prey on this information that is stolen from the big retailers like target. i give target credit coming forward being the face of an industry that all too often has lagged. and i really mean lagged rep hencebly in providing notification which is why my bill would require it with strong penalties and strict enforcement if they fail to do so. >> senator blumenthal, neiman marcus part of this hearing, they offered few details that impacted its customers. they say they are still investigating. what is the motivations to withhold this information from consumers? why do you believe that there's not transparency when this happens? is. >> they would say they want to make sure it was malware that was involved, sophisticated malicious software that was used to hack into their systems and

invade this consumer information, but once they discover there is malware they ought to notify right away, not some time in the future over the christmas period when maybe they hope that consumers will continue buying without the discouragement of notification but the point is consumers need to be protected and there needs to be an industry-wide standard which is why, again, i believe this requirement in my bill is so important, providing consumers information. our retailing industry is behind europe in providing the technology, chip and pin method of using credit cards that is used in europe but not yet here. >> do you believe that's because the companies do not want to reinvest in -- they don't want to take their money to reinvest in securing the consumers they need to survive? >> what i'm hearing is that the issue really is money. investment is required. it has to involve the bankers as

well because they're behind the credit card, but the retailers need to have a standard and a clearing house, another provision of my bill, with strict enforcement and a right of action on the part of consumers when they are wronged, when retailers fail to honor their obligation, to enforce it themselves by going to court if necessary but the federal trade commission has to be involved in establishing this industry-wide standard so that everybody is playing on the same field, a level playing field, for all retailers. >> senator blumenthal, thank you so much for your time discussing this hearing which wrapped up a short time ago. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> day two of jury selection in the latest high-profile stand your ground case out of florida. >> i shot four times and that's when he pulled out. like i said, in my mind they got a gun and so, you know, not training just from -- i was still scared. and so i shot four more times.

>> that was michael dunn, interviewed by investigators after he was arrested for shooting at a car with four teenagers inside, killing one of them. one of the major questions, will his statements during this interview be key in the trial? plus the nonpartisan budget office is out with a new report on the president's health care law and the affect it could have on the job market, especially on low-income workers, both democrats and republicans are reacting. we'll dig into this big news with first read team. mark murray will join us. when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

out of the courtroom and instead in a separate room listening to jury selection through an audio feed. the judge says it's an effort to protect jurors' identities. attorneys representing at least three media outlets say if the judge again refuses to grant them access inside the courtroom today, they plan to take it up to the appeals court that has already reversed the judge's decision multiple times. with the defendant michael dunn facing a first-degree murder charge in jordan davis' death his attorneys are planning to invoke stand your ground. it's one of the reasons the trial is compared to george zimmerman's however cameras were allowed in that courtroom for the trial and jurors were never shown during the jury selection proce process. joining me is larry lan nonone of the publications requesting access from the judge. there may be some movement here as regarding reporter access? >> that's correct, tamron. just before i left the courtroom to come here, judge healy, the judge in the case, said he was

considering allowing two media representatives, one print and one tv, to be in the courtroom for the rest of jury selection. he will still not allow any cameras into the courtroom during jury selection so -- but it looks like we may get a little media access. >> state attorney angela cory, those who followed the trayvon martin case know very well, she's indicated she does not want the media in the courtroom during selection either, jury selection. >> that's correct. she said she will appeal this ruling if healy allows the media back in. as i left the courtroom she said that media was being irresponsible and specifically singled out our publication for its coverage. >> speaking of your publication the editor frank denton released a statement in part saying it's outrageous that the court is closed. this important part of the trial to the public, our understanding of the law including the constitution is that criminal trials must be public except in rare cases and this is not one of those cases. also in florida, which we

learned in the trayvon martin case and other cases including casey anthony and the other high-profile once the jury is selected the identity of those jurors is also kept under wraps for a period of time as well to protect them. there are things in place to protect the jury once it is set. >> that's right. in this case, they're not going to release the names of the jurors probably until the trial is over. they still haven't released the names of the jurors in the trayvon martin case. there's certainly plenty of safeguards against an excessive media. we feel in this situation it's swung the other way and the public isn't getting a good chance to judge how their courts are operating. >> is there a sense this is a result of the public attention and the media attention regarding the zimmerman trial? >> i think so. angela cory was not happy with the coverage of that. she is -- complained several times just a few weeks ago said at a luncheon she didn't think the public or media should get

any information on court cases until the case concluded or until the case goes to trial and she's become even more vocal since the zimmerman acquittal on her disdain for the media. >> thank you so much for your time. joining me now attorney faith jenkins thank you for joining. for an attorney and what you've read here, what's your perspective on reporters and cameras being able to have this access? >> criminal trials are public and the supreme court has decided that. it's not an issue we're debating here. judges are given certain discretion a balancing test when they think they have to protect the identity of jurors in high-profile cases like this. but it is a balancing test. as you mentioned there are certain things he can do. he cap keep the jurors' names anons muss. to exclude the public from the courtroom, all media from that courtroom, i think is going too far here. you can have -- there's certain access that people should be allowed in the courtroom and to remove all of that is going to be an issue for him that i think he will lose on appeal. >> the attorneys challenging on

behalf of the news media in florida point, for example, the zimmerman trial and play just an example of the questioning of a potential juror and how that juror's identity was concealed. this is what happened. >> i thought i was polite. i asked them nicely. i said, hey, would you guys mind turning that down. they shut it off. i was like, thank you. cordial. things cordial. i put my window back up. doing my stuff. and i don't know how many kids are in that but the windows are down for the back seat. the windows are up for the front seat. >> okay. and the guy that was in the back is getting really agitated. >> that is the interrogation of michael dunn. this is the man now charged in this case. let's move ahead and discuss

this. this is him describing the events leading up to the confrontation. this was a lengthy obviously interrogation interview questioning, whatever the official line is, but this is his version. how key will this be in his defense once the jury is selected. >> it's going to be crucial here. he is asserting a self-defense claim so in order for him to get that charge from the jury from the judge in this case, there's going to be -- have to be sufficient evidence put forth in the trial to show there is actual -- a valid self-defense claim the jury can consider. will those statement comes in? we don't know. if michael dunn takes the witness stand the state can use those statements to cross examine him. he cannot put those statements forth himself in lieu of him testifying. >> let me play another interrogation, michael dunn, the man charged with killing this young man, describes how things in his words began to get agitated and heated up. let's listen in. >> i don't know if they're singing or what, but it's

like -- they're saying kill him. so i put my window down again. and i said, excuse me? are you talking about me? and it was like kill that [ bleep ]. and i'm still not reacting but this guy like goes down on the ground and comes up with something. i thought it was a shotgun. >> faith, he thought it was a shotgun, he says. there was never a gun found there. >> right. and that's going to be problematic for him. there was no shotgun found. there was nothing even resembling a shot gone found. i mentioned yesterday there was not a water gun, bb gun, nothing in that vehicle those kids could have held up and said -- where he could have said it's a shotgun. thinking that you see a gun and there being one present could be the difference in this case between whether a jury believes he was in reasonable fear for his life.

>> and in his -- another portion of this interrogation he says that the word scared, again, that is not enough. to be afraid of something or a situation is not enough to open fire. >> it has to be a reasonable fear. if it's an irrational fear that's not enough. if he just says, hey, i was afraid and therefore i started shooting at people i don't think that's going to be enough. that's why i think you're seeing him insert oh, i thought i saw a shotgun, there was a gun. if there's a gun introduced into the situation you can understand why someone would shoot in return to protect their life. >> when he fired four times at the car he said they started fleeing, trying to keep their head downs or he was so he didn't catch any return fire. we know there was never any return fire because there was no weapon. >> he kept shooting. he said he shot four additional times when the vehicle was fleeing and going away. at that point the fear is aalleviated because those people have left the scene. >> again, another case out of florida involving the stand your

ground. we'll see also the latest out of the judge's decisions regarding access, the media wants to this jury selection process as well as, of course, things trial. we'll keep you up to date. thank you very much. still ahead, developing news from capitol hill. a live picture of the senate where congress is on the verge of passing a bill that would cut $8 million from food stamps. we'll have more on the compromise three years in the making. machine versus message. key players in the obama campaign advising hillary clinton supporters to avoid the same mistakes she made in 2008. our first read will get new information on the developing story regarding the cbo report on the affordable health care law and its impact on employees as well as money out of the pockets of taxpayers. lly bank ro hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right, no hidden fees. it's just that i'm worried about, you know, "hidden things." ok, why's that? well uhhh... surprise!!!

cuts to that program. the measure is expected to win final congressional approval. nbc news capitol hill correspondent luke russert joins us. luke, years in the making for this compromise. >> yeah. indeed, tamron, this is an issue that's really plagued congress for the last three years. they've not been able to figure out a way forward on the farm bill. this $1 trillion bill basically allows a piece for agriculture issues in the last five years. the hold up was the food stomachsps -- stamps as you mentioned. the senate bill had $2 billion. they agreed on $8 billion in cuts over ten years. there are liberal progressives that do not like that number, say it's too high, conservatives oppose this bill because they say it gives too much money and subsidies to farmers that don't need it. nevertheless they said when crafting this bill they wanted to get in the middle which is the only way to move forward and it's expected to pass the senate later today, on to president obama. and people don't really realize,

tamron, how many issues that farm bill pertains to. it has food stamps, things dealing with food labeling, it has things dealing with whether or not your dairy subsidies move forward, milk higher or lower, all the things are dealt with this bill and they have not an herred too many of the special interest that do help craft in the long run. >> a new report says top advisers and former aides to president obama are questioning some hillary clinton supporters who assume she's unbeatable if she runs for president. in an article posted by buzz feed ben he bolt the national press secretary for the obama 2012 campaign is quoted as saying the further out front the effort to elect secretary clinton is three years before election day the greater for the press, the groups to scrutinize and attack her move. the obama campaign's chief pollster quoted as saying i don't think people wthere talkig about this help her and she should make that clear.

joining us mark murray. let's talk about the cbo report on the health care law and its impact on the work force. >> well, tamron, political reporters almost have to dust off their macro economics textbooks from college. what this report was talking about was the labor supply and not labor demand. that means the labor supply, total number of workers out in the work force and under the health care law there are peoples because of the subsidies you end up getting, because of the exchanges, where people might be able to say look i don't want to work on my job anymore, i can get a subsidy, my health insurance on the exchange, i'm going to quit and still have health insurance for myself and my family. that's more what the cbo is talking about. a lot of people mentioned how saying that this is going to kill 2 million jobs or eliminate 2 million jobs talking about the labor supply and not demand. the cbo says on labor demand things aren't going to change all that much from the employer perspective in hiring potential workers. >> we're hearing pushback from

the obama administration as reported by andrea mitchell in the last hour and you have people who believes this affirms the republican argument that the aca was a job killer. clarify this. >> in politics people will use almost any kind of news to make the arguments they want and there is always spin on all different sides. what i'm kind of saying here is what this is referring to is looking at the entire labor supply and when republicans end up saying this is going to kill 2 million jobs over a particular period of time, it is a lot more complicated than that. much more nuance. and, of course, nuance in politics sometimes don't go hand in hand together but i hope i will be able to explain that to our viewers. >> going back to this buzzfeed article some former aides to president obama advisors really giving some maybe unsolicited advice to supporters of hillary clinton how to govern themselves if she decides to run. the energy leading up to it. >> the article had two major takeaways.

one and the advice it's not good to be the early frontrunner. look at past elections and that's always true. 2008, hillary clinton was the frontrunner. that didn't work out all that well for her. even the frontrunners who have done well for their primaries, think mitt romney in 2012, john kerry, there were many ups and downs in that. that was one of the arguments they're making. the good news for hillary clinton there doesn't seem to be a democrat that will be able to rival her so being the frontrunner might not be that bad of a deal. the other thing the article was alleging was the number of people in the hillary and bill clinton orbit that could cause problems. you're seeing a couple of different super pacs line up and the question is, whether or not if these people do controversial things or say this or that whether hillary clinton has to own up for it. if she ends up running for president there will be someone who needs to clean house, here's our team and all these other people in the orbit you guys can make have roles but this is the main core we end up having.

sometimes it is a problem having a lot of people in your orbit and that is a potential shortcoming for her if she runs. >> thank you very much for going with the planned topic and the news of the day. thank you. >> thanks, tamron. >> still ahead, privacy concerns over new technology in cars that allows the cars to communicate with each other in hopes of avoiding accidents. but, the data that would be collected from your driving, could be used against you. this one is our "news nation" gut check. >> i remember really vividly ooup having pizza with my friends day or two after i opened up the first version of facebook. >> facebook ceo mark zuckerberg reflecting on the social media network he helped create. can you believe it was ten years ago. what the world's youngest billionaire said he learned over that short period of time.

announced it is working towards requiring all automakers to make smart cars that talk to one another using new technology. now it's called vehicle to vehicle or v 2 v communication. each car now truck or bus on the road would constantly transmit a 360-degree wi-fi signal to every other nearby vehicle on the road. got that. now if a car ahead suddenly brakes, for example, ever behind it gets an alert. the government said v 2 v technology could cut up to 80% of the number of unimpaired accidents that occur each year in the united states saving tens of thousands of lives. but some worry about the privacy implications of the technology. ford's ceo alan mulally recently called on the government to regulate how driver data is used and joining me now, jim megs, editor of chief of "popular mechanics" which ran a cover story on privacy and new technology. talk about timing there. >> yeah. >> you said this issue is very

popular with those who read your magazi magazine. >> the issue is everywhere, in your phone, home, of course your car is where you spend a lot of your life so what we're seeing with the v 2 v technology no question it's going to be a huge boon for safety but who has access to the data. >> that is the primary question an we hear that over and over. drag the nsa issue in, who will hold on to the data that's taken from our phone calls and other sources of e-mail here. this may not be, of course, to that heated point but it does remind of these privacy issues as it does relate to technology. >> trust is just gone. i think a lot of privacy experts feel once you create that pool of data, even if it's used for perfectly good purposes, the temptation to dip into it to chase your political enemies to all kinds of -- cases of nsa guys checking up on ex-girlfriends. we really don't know what's going to happen to the data. that said, this is overall something that we do need and it will make the roads safer, help

reduce traffic but we have to get the right set of rules around it. >> help me understand what information would potentially be harmful in the wrong hands or potentially be information that a driver doesn't want someone to have access to? >> the basic thing is this is a system that just talks to the cars that are relatively near you. if a car up front slows down you get an alert. it could lead to some of the technology for a fully autonomous car where you take your hands off the wheel, the car drives itself talking to the environment getting signals from gps and radar and other things. we will be living in a world where the car is a sophisticated electronic gadget. the data is just your location that may not seem like much but if somebody knew every place you had driven in the past year it would be creepy, if they had access to your phone records they already know that. >> ford marketing chief was quoted last month at a panel op privacy and says that we know everyone who breaks the law. we know when you're doing it. we have gps in your car so we

know what you're doing. by the way, we don't supply that data to anyone. ford executives including the ceo alan mulally denied tracking drivers' whereabouts but this technology exist in most new cars now. >> the system we're talking about is a new layer of technology. what farley was talking ability what they already have. he took a lot of heat for that but the reality is that data is there even if it's being used for good purposes, it's enough to start making people nervous. >> that's why i ride my bike. thank you so much for joining us. >> it's my pleasure. >> appreciate it. >> the investigation into a deadly plane crash in tennessee tops our look at stories around the news nation. a pilot and three of his family members were killed when the plane went down outside nashville. witnesses and fire officials say the pilot saved hundreds of lives by narrowly avoiding a nearby ymca building. the plane crashed after circling back for a second approach to a nearby airport. the faa and transportation safety board are investigating.
