2:36 am
they want the director of national intelligence to immove the technology being use. lawmakers say they will not support the proposed changes. remember, this bill passed in the house last month with over 340 votes. the administration is also warning against amendments that could stretch out the debates. meanwhile the man responsible for parts of the act expiring. here's what rand paul said on the senate floor monday and then yesterday morning. >> people think i'm making a huge mistake. i think some of them secretly want an attack to happen so they can blaum it on me. >> the point i was trying to make is i think people do use fear to try to get us to give up our liberty. >> do you take back that statement you just said when i
2:37 am
think some secretly want there to be an attack in the united states so they can blame me? >> i think sometimes going after people's motives and impugning people's motives is a mistake. >> so are you standing by that or not? i'm trying to nail that down? >> i think by calling it hyper boly. >> now to the latest on the indictment of former house speaker dennis hastert. he will be arranged on charges he allegedly lied about structuring cash withdrawals to avoid bank reporting laws. it's alleged he agreed to pay $3.5 million to a former
2:38 am
student. there could be questions about the judge's ability to be impartial since he's apparently donated twice to hastert's campaigns. he contributed $500 in 2002 and $1,000 in 2004. he was nominated to be a district judge by president obama in 2002. stocks for up slightly monday. "the wall street journal" reports apple will soon announce plans to compete with spot fie. cnbc geoff cutmore joins us now. what the k you tell us about that? >> it's the missing piece of the jigsaw as far as apple is concerned. and apparently some kind of branded music service has been in the works for some time as far as apple is concerned. but maybe they just didn't get their ducks in a row with the product. now i think they have something they want to bring to market and
2:39 am
it looks like if you believe the rumors spotify, move over. an sl coming up with a service. we won't get a formal announcement until june 8th where the developer's conference is taking place. it looks like apple finally getting into the act on this streaming music service. it remains to be seen if it is good enough to knock others off their spot. i want to talk a little bit about barnwarn buffet. he's often in the news for his wisdom. if you'd like to sit down with him and take lunch, it's an annual auction he does for charity. right now the bidding just over $1 million. there are about three days left on the auction. it is for a charity called glide in san francisco that does lots
2:40 am
of good work for the poor and those who are currently down on their look. we're keeping an eye on the bidding. previously those who have won this auction have ended up or at least one gentleman in particular ended up working for berkshire hathaway as a portfolio manager. maybe the high price tag is worth paying. >> it could be huge with the future dif vends there. a story that skrumped out to me last night. a big change for americans on whether they buy or lease their vehicles. i've heard a lot of this. leasing is in in the united states. what's going on leasing over buying? >> yeah. it's also happening here in the uk. a lot of people looking at leasing because compared to new car prices and the loans that you'd have to take out to buy those cars quite often the monthly payments on leasing are lower. let me just give you an example
2:41 am
here. perhaps it explains why leasing is now at an all time high. looking at the averages experience says the first monthly payments in a lease deal a little over $400. they give the price here as $405 and that's against $488 a month if you bought the car outright. with the price of new cars rising perhaps no surprise that those looking at their cash flow want the lower option. and you always get the option to move the car on after two or three cars and get yourself a new one. i think americans starting to think that it makes better dollars and cents to go the lease way rather than buying. >> cheaper and easier to get the new car smell. thank you so much. take care. lastly we have to talk
2:42 am
