seven thirty am in moscow good to have you with us here on our t.v.'s here headline russia mourns a thirty five killed in monday's suicide bomb attack at domodedovo airport state flags were flown at half staff as well wishers attended memorial services that he airport and out across the capital one hundred sixteen people remain in the hospital many of them in critical condition. seriously. those who committed this terrible act targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but they thought room it is noted rest of the world's movers and shakers in davos president medvedev called for greater global cooperation in the battle against international terror following monday's suicide

bombing in moscow the russian leader was for the trip his visit to the economic forum. the new strategic arms reduction deal between russia and the u.s. said he signed into long start got the unanimous backing of the federation council the upper house of the russian parliament it's the final step before being signed by president medvedev and can see both nations nuclear warheads. up next part two of the alone a show where they continue their review of president obama's state of the union address stay with us. for the feel we've got. the biggest issues get voice face to face with the news maker. well it's time for tonight's tool time award and without a doubt it just has to go to minnesota congresswoman michele bachmann it was almost too easy she delivered the tea party response last night to the president's state

of the union in addition to the official republican response but she wasn't competing with them she promises now just watch those opening clip of the address which is played on the tea party's web site i am broadcast by a few networks live. i want to thank the tea party express and tea party h.d. for inviting me to speak this evening i am here at their request and not to compete with the official republican remarks the tea party is a dynamic force for good in our national conversation and it's an honor for me to speak with you to you. did you notice something wrong there the michelle was looking at the wrong camera it appears for six and a half minutes she had absolutely no clue what camera she was supposed to be looking at turns out she was looking at the camera the tea party provided for the speech not the camera the news networks use for the address so basically the tea party offered up michele bachmann's response whether they didn't offer up the pool

feed for the networks whoever put this tea party response together should absolutely be fired you made the congresswoman look crazier than she already is which i mean let's just say it she's pretty crazy and michelle went on to spout off about spending unemployment how the tea party is good and obama's bad and then she brought up a bold face lie about health care reform take a listen what did we buy instead of a leaner smarter government we bought a bureaucracy that now tells us which life folds to buy and which may put sixteen thousand five hundred iris agents in charge of policing president obama's health care bill. see that whole i.r.s. agent claim that was debunked by fact checked or saying that it's actually just the right attempt to mislead the public about the rules of forcing everyone to have health care so long with a response full of wise she also could look at the right camera which made the already awkward second republican address much worse prices for the tea party and

michele bachmann and that's why both of them are tonight's tool time winners. well looks like we've finally come to the finish line when it comes to the start treaty started april of last year when u.s. president barack obama and russian president meeting with that initially signed the treaty to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in both countries however as you know it was a lengthy process to get start passed by congress but when lawmakers in washington finally agreed to pass a treaty all that was left was to have russia's parliament do the same and today reports say that both houses of the russian duma have approved the treaty and now all we have to wait for as president they have to sign off on it now before giving the approval to do it made several amendments to the treaty one of them states that moscow can step out of the treaty if it feels that the u.s. missile defense plan in europe poses a threat to russia's national security and we should note here the u.s. also made amendments as well before they approve the start the u.s.

secure the right to modernize its remaining nuclear arsenal and they also state of the treaty should not obstruct the u.s. as defense plan in europe and you blindly have meant by both sides are non-binding it'll be up to each country to uphold their end of the deal but either way this is a significant and historic moment for both countries for the world this is the first major revamping of nuclear disarmament since the cold war era where both the u.s. and russia are going to reduce their nuclear arsenals down to fifteen hundred fifty apiece within the next seven years it's certainly been a grueling process the outcome will be well worth the efforts. whilst no secret that america's economy is still in a serious crisis and while the president focused on that crisis for a good portion of his speech last night he did fail to mention foreclosures but why didn't he mention that it's one of the most painful economic issues plaguing the country with a record two point nine homes in foreclosure as we speak so how are americans

dealing with it the lindo investigates. wall street both record profits and washington insists we are firmly on the road to economic recovery millions of americans still have that sinking feeling worried they'll soon lose the roof over their head our sleeves you need to make plans before you go on over there you know next week you're going to get a letter saying you've got to go. for several that he gets fell behind on his mortgage after his wife became sick and medical bills blood in his one of thousands of people who camped out in front of the los angeles sports arena to line up for a mortgage help clinic a last ditch effort for people simply trying to keep their home maybe. five hundred people made that decision for maybe a thousand people when you see five thousand people here think you know it's not

just people making that decision it's not true it was a racketeering scheme that really put people in power because they were structured to fail and fail they did a record two point nine million homes went into foreclosure in two thousand and ten yet realty trac an online market for foreclosures warns that figure may jumped by twenty percent this year many lost homes are due to lost jobs as high unemployment persists here in california and across the nation poverty and homelessness still a major problem here in this south central neighborhood of los angeles now we're going to use this home as an example it looks like this family was taken at a home very recently the water heater has been ripped out there are broken windows there are still toys inside there are documents here that show their paycheck stubs obviously somebody trying to make ends meet and for some reason they weren't able to and they were forced from their homes to get so personal here that i mean we

have pictures of the family here we see a little girl here playing next to the heater. but this family no longer here no longer has this home no longer has these comforts obviously a big problem still in this community these banks and the government look at people as a number but they should come out here in the you know we're in morning hours and see people freezing in tents just to save their homes desperate homeowners are fighting back i mean think about the threat that college might read it might. not get we will find last month hundreds of protesters tried to move into the lobby of the chase bank in downtown l.a. as a way to shed light on the foreclosure crisis twenty two people were arrested including an eighty five year old woman they may have sent a message but many see it as a lost cause of you reinforced by the recent a player in

a william daley as the president's chief of staff daley is a former executive at j.p. morgan chase a major mortgage lender big companies are taking over there on. my feet and i don't know much about economy you don't have to be i'm starting to figure out that with big business playing a bigger role in the white house it's unlikely that help to stop the foreclosing of america will come any time soon. in los angeles. so while focusing so much on the economy in his speech last night why did the obama leave out two words that hit closest to home for so many americans unemployment was a mention once foreclosure and tirelessly absent could have been too focused on the future to confront current realities joining me from our studio in new york to discuss it is joe weisenthal deputy editor of the business insider joe thanks for

joining us so what do you say is obama trying to pretend like foreclosures unemployment just doesn't exist or i mean why would news those two words hello we hear them all the time they're real they're happening. yeah it's really strange especially on the foreclosure front because this has been an issue for a long time the connection between the weak housing market and everything else that's going wrong and the economy seems pretty clear and coming up with some ideas you know some solution to this crisis never seems to have been very high on its agenda yes early on we got the ham program and you know an attempted mortgage modifications but the program has been a disaster for a long time and there's never been any acknowledgement that it doesn't work or that perhaps there is another way or maybe we should accelerate foreclosures and you know rip off the band-aid fest something other than the status quo is just plodding along dragging housing prices down month after month foreclosures ongoing people

can't move the effect that has on unemployment it's really strange how little focus the white house has given it and on the jobs front it's kind of the same thing i mean obviously the white house is pretty concerned about employment but i mean they're talking about salmon and satellites last night i think people if there is some connection between jobs and that i don't think people are going to understand that very clearly now well maybe it's more of that washington divide with the rest of america too right when you mention home prices going down turns out the home price index of the just released tuesday so the home prices fell one point six percent in november except for four cities san diego san francisco l.a. and they rose the most in washington d.c. of all places but overall i want to talk about some of obama's figures last night do you think that they really added up because we hear about a spending freeze at the same time all we hear about is innovation and education and infrastructure and you know working towards the future things that require

spending money. yeah i mean it clearly doesn't add up you know if there is a pure spending freeze if we kept current discretionary spending at this level it only make a marginal him. down the deficit and the debt and the problem with this is you know this is very general talk about innovation in education infrastructure and third not it's not that all those things are horrible it's just that it's so tired it's so on original it's almost like we've completely run out of ideas that the only thing the president really knows how to advocate anymore is just these vague notions of infrastructure and education it is so boring it's really an inspiring which is too bad because the whole point of that kind of language is to inspire so not only does it not add up the rhetoric isn't even very effective anymore. i have to admit i'm kind of with you there last night feeling it's a way i say you know it sorry but i felt like this whole speech was just that it was kind of boring and then i got a costed for it today advice from people that didn't agree with me but let's talk

about taxes at the same time i'll bomb applauded the tax cuts that were passed or all americans including the very wealthy that he spoke about eliminating tax benefits for oil companies and then he spoke about reducing at the corporate tax rates but some of the largest companies are also oil companies. they don't have to pay corporate taxes that. what do you think here there is something to be said and i think oh. it has a lot of supporters across the ideological spectrum which is this idea that right now our tax code is incredibly inefficient and filled with loopholes and some companies that are huge and seem to be making a lot of money don't pay any taxes and other companies that aren't so big that are just kind of playing it straight pay taxes that are higher than in other parts of the world so i don't think he's going to have too much disagreement on this idea that we could perhaps simplify the tax code and look the you know the lower the

headline tax rate that being said you know there's a reason we have all these loopholes because they're powerful interest you know whether it's the oil companies or the army of lobbyist for all these other industries they're not. to give up their loopholes that usually shows something that sounds nice in theory and we can all agree that would be a good thing whether it actually happens i'm becoming skeptical now you know just a second ago we were discussing the rhetoric saying how it's supposed to be inspirational but it wasn't really he also has been trying to address this as america's new sputnik moment. but do you think about really comes across to average americans i feel like that feeling of fear that feeling of oh my god we're going to fall behind other nations isn't really there because americans just want their own country to first get back to normal before they want to jump into another competition and we in the future. here you're right it's very strange that the only metaphor we can use in terms of economic advance is beating china over beating rocher be in the middle east and so yeah there's when the future sputnik analogy

look we don't need to be china to improve on employment in the united states we can improve you know fix the flaws you know address the structural flaws of the u.s. economy and find more work for people this is very it seems very retrograde and i mean as you know he is going back to a spot in a cold war reference and it's very pretty you know pre-crisis there was a lot of talk you know trade and trade is mutually beneficial and when they're wealthier we get wealthier and that's great and now we're going to this idea that we have to win and beat the other countries is pretty strange i'm not really sure what the point is i don't think it helps very much our job well thanks so much for joining us and you know it was supposed to be a speech addressed to the american people as well as congress but i just wonder if it wasn't exactly you know hitting what the american people actually care about thanks so much. we've got one more second ahead tonight staffers on the hill here

in d.c. are desperate to find out chloe want to know why we care so much about this twenty five year old woman who with time and the obama administration has a new solicitor general to tell you why is this move could mean that have moved into that for. the more people we kill to have your officers worried he's got to be like he'd like young people is to see who can. kill the most people and. different ways you can prove he's killed here's a few drawbacks some serious you know every have the most fears they will get the most fierce in training to be worse than a few moments in five men around the circle open up on full automatic sixty. two same outrage by six or seven people currently. most of the.

downloads the official antti application to i phone oh i pod touch from the i choose our store. life on the go. video on demand. comes and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. tonight capitol hill is buzzing staffers are searching the internet calling their friends even ailing fellow staffers all digging for a very important piece of information who is chloe now let me explain why everyone is trying to find out who chloe really is c.

there is an ad placed on craigslist this week for a young woman was looking for roommate and the headline from the ad read four hundred and twenty five dollar room for open minded person the posting went on to detail about a room for rent in a renovated townhouse in the dupont area a young woman says that she's twenty five hill staffer with a busy schedule and she's looking for a six month lease and utilities are included now right away you would probably put in something like this is a scam four hundred twenty five dollars for a room in dupont in d.c. that is damn cheap trust me it ranges out of control in the city but when you keep reading the ad this is what you find the reason it's so cheap is because i'm looking for someone who is open to participating in the swingers parties i have it once or twice a month the parties are fun and safe and you can do whatever your comfortable with doing please contact me if you want to see the place or want more information and she then gave a number now the ad also stated male or female are welcome oh my now you can

see why tongues are wagging on capitol hill some twenty five year old girl who's a staffer in congress is a swinger and she's looking for us i want to join her for a little fun now the daily caller here in d.c. was the first to report the story and they claim that staffers are desperately trying to find out who so bold to advertise their sex parties so openly on the internet while working on the hill even better the phone which by the way is the richmond virginia area code is listed on a twitter account with the handle whatever you like and there also are some pretty racy tweets there so whoever on the hill is a freak just know that the entire d.c. political world would love to meet you. well this week obama announced his nomination for the new solicitor general to replace elena kagan and his pig is donald verrilli jr former recording industry association of america lawyer a man that's fought against music in movies sharing web sites like grokster

a man who led by comms copyright infringement lawsuit against you to imagine is now going to have a lot of power if confirmed because he'll be the main lawyer representing the u.s. government before the supreme court so this is just one more site that obama favors strict copyright important rather than a free internet joining me from san francisco to discuss it is declan mccullagh correspondent at. dot com thanks so much for joining me now i guess we can't say that this is a huge shocker after all the obama administration has five lawyers well that is if a really here gets approved that he'll just be one of five lawyers that obama's appointed who are former. lawyers but i mean is that still a little bit disappointing this is a man when you know who is campaigning he had the pirate party backing up a lot of people thought that he would support a more free and open internet. if you look at president obama's two thousand

a campaign rhetoric it was very much an open coach or anything goes it's just by the party and larry lessig and google c.e.o. eric schmidt know pretty much as soon as he was elected and the deal was done now he's shifted much more in a pro copyright direction maybe that should have been a surprise in a way because he pictures or as his running mate joe biden who is. favored senator but this is elevating one of the. previous favorite lawyers search a very senior department of justice post white house senior you know how much power does the solicitor general really have because some people would even call this the the tenth supreme court justice. right that if you look back at the history of solicitors general they do have and almost outsized power the supreme court looks to them for guidance on what or what cases to hear obviously

the supreme court don't takes less than five percent of the cases but if the supreme court sorry if the solicitor general says this is a very important case then the supreme court is more likely to hear it and so i traditionally know this is not written in the loft but this is a tradition and sometimes traditions in washington can be very important this a lister general is supposed to be independent almost a little cart from the administration unable to bring an independent voice to the do that matters before the supreme court so it's going to very interesting if we have popular cases go up and all of a sudden you have the ari favor lawyer maybe opposing maybe siding with his previous favorite client well what do you really think i mean are we going to see you know a new washington d.c. that does become very strict on copyright in force just looking at you know his past the cases that he's worked on including this viacom and. you know what do we expect more of. well there is and i think what's probably going to happen

now i haven't actually top the department of justice on this point but i suspect was going to happen is if there is a case that comes up that he previously worked on and you too might be want to be in the department just as often intervenes in copyright lawsuits so much more so than almost any other topic i can think about because sometimes the constitutionality of copyright law is being challenged and so if any of these come up before the court i would be very surprised if he doesn't recuse himself and say well actually we've got a deputy solicitor general up let's let that person take over now but this is again a sort of a symbol perhaps intentional perhaps not that this is a bit. ministration and that's relatively close to the copyright industry and it has no hesitation about elevating one of its former lawyers now let's talk about some other speculation rumors out there you know there's been a lot of talk that this administration and google are

a little too close to each other you know even dare i say recently has been bringing that up but at the same time if we look at a rally this is somebody who helps viacom sue you tube which google own so does that show that there's some kind of a a breakdown there is google perhaps not as close to obama as we thought. the way i would think of it is this there is the candidate obama was embraced almost by folks in silicon valley you know google facebook the old those types of companies or both as a break from bush and also because he represented perhaps in their view at the time a more interesting vision of the future but then once he and a lot of those folks at that time there john and went to actually work for the white house not not maybe not a lot but a little bit but a substantial number of significant positions in putting google but there but since then it's more like democratic party politics took over and now we're seeing

more i think the truly nature of the beast which is that this is some something that's going to be closer to hollywood the googles interest when the two are opposed so let me i mean there's that any any presidential administration any white house is a complex creature with lots of moving parts so i would say just this is a pro our area it is rationed overall always in every circumstance or procurable it's a complicated issue but you have. portions that are close to both now deka very quickly because i have few seconds left do you also hear this is counter to this that the founders of pirate bay say that they have a new project coming out something called music bay and they said the music industry can't even imagine what we're planning to roll out in coming months for years they've complained bitterly about privacy but if they've ever had a reason to be scared it's now what can we expect from that. now i haven't written about my employer or seen. the latest but you know i refuse been around that around

a while and i think this is very very interesting to watch what is going to change things are magically you know you can already find lots of pirated music illegally on line if you want and i guess that means that you know piracy is always one step ahead at least for now still on the law declan thank you so much for joining us any time. or for we go tonight it's time for our tweet of the day just about every one of us has discussed giving their opinion of president obama's state of the union last night but did you hear the silence from wasso up that's right sarah palin has not tweeted or facebook about that speech so tonight democrats should tweet what's up sarah do all of your ghostwriters have the day off that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in to make sure you come back tomorrow the financial crisis commission's report comes out and apparently they recommended prosecution of some members on wall street so can somebody finally be held accountable or get those details tomorrow but in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the a lot of show on face within a follow us on twitter and the rest and it's nights or any other night you can always catch all the you tube dot com slash delana show where you post the
