1:31 pm
critics and. so those are our top stories i'll be back. with those in full and other developments for you here in the meantime it's the second part of the. hi guys it's time for you said it i read it take time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments from facebook twitter and you too because we've gotten to say i listen now first i want to respond to a viewer that washed our story on senator al franken and representative jeff landry teaming up to change the language of the n.b.a. in clarify the u.s. citizens are barred from being indefinitely detained slew of damascus commented how
1:32 pm
about a lot of stop tacking on laws to big spending bills like defense authorization act we need to close these loopholes of tyranny and personally i wholeheartedly agree i think of the practice of tacking on amendment after amendment to giant spending bills as an incredibly dangerous one there's simply too much pressure to push these bills through especially when it comes to defense because you know nobody would dare leave the pentagon unfunded in this town it's an age old washington tactic and it works senators and congressmen object but the bills involved funding the entire u.s. military so while they just have to get pushed through then we end up with situations like this one where hugely important and quite frankly scary things like the provision for indefinite detention get past and only patched up after the fact when it's often too late now as i mentioned earlier in the show the idea is already being enforced by courts next on respond to burgundy point three who apparently thinks that the brakes we have to hit on the show are something nefarious he commented on you tube don't you hate it when newscasters cut an interesting
1:33 pm
conversation short because they have to go to breaks yes because you know i love to censor my guests the specially on issues like act now unfortunately we have to had certain breaks for international air trust me i hate it just as much as you do but any a good interview before it's reform we're ready to end it is always a painful thing unfortunately though it's not up to us it's just the way things have to be a lastly i want to thank all of our viewers for all the birthday love today i got a lot of tweets and messages and here are just a few. deledio tweeted that is happy birthday alone i watch your show all the time i always look forward to it every day you are the best d.j. to buy a tweet it might be day two today and dick cheney so there's that that's the first that i've heard that i share the same birthday as dick cheney and i don't know let me tell you creeps me out a little bit then a robertson guard tweeted at us i must tell you are wiser today because you are old happy birthday and many many more love your so rock on so thanks for all the love
1:34 pm
you guys are the best and that from my ranting today i'll be back with more later in the week. well looks like anybody who has had their personal fire files copyrighted or not saved on make upload could lose that data forever you see when the f.b.i. came in on january nineteenth and raided mega upload in new zealand and detained four people tied to the file sharing site they also froze the accounts of one hundred fifty million registered users even customers of the access to their data which is all stored virtually and they also froze make up loans bank accounts which is important to know because the company hires third parties to store customer data for a fee so inevitably upload can't pay their bills and storage companies carpathia hosting and cogent communications group. for free so they just might start deleting that data as of this thursday february second a letter from u.s. prosecutors announce the data could be deleted as early as this thursday and went on to say the while the us did go through the locker storage company's servers they
1:35 pm
did not take any information with them they just scanned through them and copied any data that they felt was evidence that the d.o.j. letter also explains of the government is finished with the search warrants and has no right to go back and access the data again meanwhile we're hearing some thing different from the companies that are actually storing the data our paper for example issued a statement saying maybe hosting does not have and has never had access to the content of mega upload servers and has no mechanism for returning any content residing on such servers to make uploads customers the company also says they have not been given any notice about deleting information to the government so we're not really quite sure where the d.o.j. got this tip about data being wiped out meanwhile defense lawyer iraq and is also trying to regain all that data saying that it's a crucial element in the upcoming legal case between the hong kong company and the department of justice and that's not the only legal challenge the u.s. is facing here you see they're also facing a legal challenge coming from the pirate party according to torrent freak pirate
1:36 pm
parties from around the world are coming together to make a list of every person who's going to fail. by this rate a master list is going to be used to file an official complaint against the us and in an announcement they stated that the seizure of mega upload is on justifiable and is responsible for creating widespread damage they went on to say for this reason pirates of catalonia in collaboration with pirate parties international and other buyer parties have begun investigating these potential breaches of law and will facilitate submission of complaints against the us authorities in as many countries as possible to ensure a positive and just result so all eyes are on the f.b.i. the d.o.j. and the u.s. government in general to see what move they're going to make next with regards to make. we're going to make sure to keep you updated on all those developments. well once again the world had to hear that because she ations between the greek government and bondholders would result in an agreement being reached stock slipped on the news is vester is becoming more weary of constantly hearing that
1:37 pm
a deal is close meanwhile here in the u.s. news of consumer spending fell flat december as more americans saved thanks the question of where exactly growth is going to come from and we've been hearing a lot about the need for moral capitalism discussed these days but some of the advocates of it part of the problem join me to discuss all that is lauren lyster host of the capital account lauren thanks for joining us and welcome back i know you just got back from davos last night we had a chance to capture up with you couple of times while you were there but now they're back now the whole thing's over what would you say is the biggest takeaway it's a big question first of all happy birthday i think you know. the biggest takeaway and regard with the official agenda or kind of my biggest personal takeaway were biggest personal takeaway from spending a couple days up there in the you know in the mountain. my biggest takeaway is get a better badge and maybe have a little bit more energy to schlep around because it's not as glamorous as it looks all that traipsing around in the snow i think that's probably
1:38 pm
a really different experience no matter how you experience davos just based on who you. where you're coming from that is a really big forum it's really hard to kind of get overwhelming sense of you know what's really going on everybody has a different agenda and a personal agenda is far is the official agenda i didn't hear anything that was really different i didn't hear anything that really made me feel like people are serious about advancing capitalism in a way that is different from how it's been with the bank bailouts and with crony capitalism and with some of the problems that we've seen the euro zone crisis was a big deal but it's continued to be a big deal and we've heard more leaders in finance ministers talking about it more discussions today kind of an ongoing saga the u.s. not a big part of the agenda definitely the euro zone crisis is taking over any of. the u.s. part of the agenda and officially it's network in place and people are very dazzled by the quality of the roster so they're not worried by this entire theme of shaping
1:39 pm
new models didn't exactly come into play but so in that case let's talk about greece let's talk about what's been going on once again it seems like they keep saying that they were close to reaching agreement or they didn't reach a final agreement you know are people can get sick of this at a certain point are they getting a little weary at least aren't you. i don't know how the morning on this every day in my own mind is ok blah blah blah eurozone officials are meeting will tell you when there's something to really talk about today i guess it was a win with the fiscal pact that angle merkel's been trying to tout as a solution to the eurozone crisis this is just one thing i mean the big kind of rallying cry of davos for leaders whether it's timothy geitner which is obviously not a european leader or david cameron or all of these officials from various different countries we need a bigger we need a bigger fire wall they need to boost the firewall there needs to be more money more bailout money which is something that angela merkel doesn't want she made that very clear at davos there is no greek deal that is essential the last thing we saw
1:40 pm
the european union official saying that. germany had a wanted to take over the budget of greece and then sarkozy said that that's not going to work for obvious reasons that you know you can expect greece to hand over its sovereignty that's absurd that's kind of a crazy idea that they're just saying here in italy greece you deal with all of our spill and a lot on the right is our way out of big debt it's your birthday getting you know excited proud about the euro zone crisis i know a lot of i get excited about let's talk about something you know you brought this to my attention today to we've heard with occupy wall street going on ever since the financial crash too you know there are a lot of these emotions that capitalism isn't exactly being practiced way that should be in this country which i think you can say obviously and so we've heard a lot of calls for this more moral you know approach to it and so when the people we've heard talk a lot about this is arianna huffington of the huffington post and so i'm going to read a quote here from her she says i worry about it in the middle of the day as well as
1:41 pm
in the middle of the night one of the things that make me optimistic is so many millions more people do have a voice now so there's a countervailing force that is coalescing about a real transformation not a rhetorical one so that all sounds very nice and i think that she has a point in terms of we're finally hearing this become part of the rhetoric part of the discussion but she also kind of part of the problem alone in this i think it kind of really highlights is a really good example of the difference between ideology and reality ariane having ten years at davos where the one of the themes that rethinking capitalism and transformations and capitalism that isn't serving society anymore she's asked about it saying there needs to be moral capitalism talking about how it keeps her up at night whether vested interest or get it get in a way of that this is an interview with chrystia freeland from breyer's and rana huffington writer boycotted the two unions led the charge of the national writers
1:42 pm
union in the newspaper guild a lot of others joined in because she doesn't pay all over. leaders there is a network of eight thousand unpaid bloggers who were upset over the fact that a a well paid three hundred fifteen million dollars for huff post erin huffington is making out very well and that money isn't getting down to any of her workers and this is the kind of person that rallies they want to go a little capitalism is just how about your workers instead of making them you know report on the presidential elections for free when you just got bought by a.o.l. it's not you know the progressive nonprofit blog anymore. all right last thing to let me just talk about a few figures that came out basically telling us that consumer spending was a flat in december but we also saw wages rise a little bit but that also means of people just aren't spending anymore and they're starting to save and so how do you look at that is on one hand it's probably not that bad of an idea for americans to start saving a little bit of money and stop using their credit cards all the time but without consumer spending and the economy won't grow that's
1:43 pm
a really tough pickle what i can say not all growth is good growth i know that's always the rallying cry it was certainly the rallying cry of davos but you have to differentiate between that and i think the country's problems the economy's problems are really multidimensional and i think it's whether you want to look at the short term or long term. i'm not a i'm not the expert but i think that you know we do have to look at this a little bigger picture and know a lot of times these numbers are month to month quarter to quarter and i think there's a lot structurally that needs to be dealt with and i think you know one consumer spending number is a very small part of the picture our learned one thanks for filling us in sorry for for the spill there didn't you know all the water all of the. hide so because when i show one republican views the recent cruise ship tragedy in italy to pay president obama as a coward to give details in tonight's bull's-eye rather than happy hour one lawmaker has a change of heart after introducing a drug testing legislation and is ron paul going after as you can users critics
1:44 pm
claim that the bridge. ruined. for thailand four times. the mysterious sons of russia.
1:45 pm
right guys it's time for tonight's tool time war and tonight we're giving to the republican national committee chairman priebus is the over the weekend he want went on c.b.s.'s face the nation and this is what he had to say about president obama. in the end in a few months this is all going to be in history and we're going to talk about our own little captions which is president obama was abandoning the ship here in the united states is more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president what did you just say what did you all of president obama i call them captains you know the captain that led the ship in italy that's our own president who's leading the american people in not doing his job and running around the country and
1:46 pm
campaigning. even made me think of it with the ships behind you. as you are as if you bob schieffer was about who captains getting you know is i can give you a little primer he's the captain of the italian cruise ship that crashed into the rocks in tuscany killing seventeen people the captain talk off in a lifeboat and is now being charged with multiple counts of manslaughter this is a really tragic incident which brings us back to what priebus said which is that obama is america's little. it just makes perfect sense right. seventy people die in a foreign country in the arms he comes up with a nice little joke to link president obama to it a chance to call obama a coward you just have to take it now you could tell how pleased he was with the line that was saying he just couldn't stop himself from chuckling chuckling while explaining it but i guess the death of seventeen people is only tragic and not political fodder when it happens in the us otherwise it's a political attack just waiting to happen now i'm the last one to say that priebus
1:47 pm
should be censored or reprimanded for his comments i just think it's dumb to go on national t.v. comparing the president to the captain of a cruise ship that is being charged with manslaughter is just plain stupid it just gives you some insight into how these people operate shamelessly and without care or tact that's why rents priebus the chairman of the r n c is tonight to a time when. ok guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening is our chief producer jenny churchill and our t. correspondent christy for sound hello ladies thank you for joining me. ok let's start with this is an ad that we played before here on the show and this key just came from a you tube user who i think is a user name had ron paul in it and so some people are saying a fan created it and it was it was fear mongering about jon huntsman because my god
1:48 pm
he speaks the language. all right so this is what's happening now and i find this to be kind of odd and seeming to be a little out of character for the ron paul campaign because they're basically filing a complaint in court they're saying that the use of his. name infringed his trademark and defamed him by improperly implying that he was behind it whereas i don't think anybody thought he was behind it people thought it was just some random guy on you tube who was a ron paul supporter but you don't control your supporters and so they're actually trying to figure out who this youtube user is and get them pulled seems very strange to me that ron paul would want to get the government involved in anything
1:49 pm
especially a speech matter or trying to find something out it seems very interesting but who knows maybe the huntsman campaign called and wanted to get behind it it's not about offensive i kind of really doubt that he would do something like this on huntsman's pressure i have to believe that he really truly thinks that this person is trying to represent this ad as by him and that he feels like he has the right to sue i mean i think for him it would have to be a scenario where he thought you're you know tarnishing my name i have the right to know who this is and to go after them legally. it is strange don't you know that are so many people on facebook and twitter you know people that love ron paul love ron paul and i feel like there's so many people that have you know some aspects of ron paul in their names that are in their words of course the i just love that it's like you so here we are going after one you tube user where you know we don't know where so much of the money comes from when it goes to super pacs or you know some of these other organizations that are citizens united and all these ads come out but there is one you tube user and we have to go after him and get him anyway just
1:50 pm
. to me now to talk about something that's happening in indiana take a look at this new. controversial proposal that would require drug testing for people on welfare is getting even more people upset today that's right lines e-mail the bill's main proponent says he would be ok if executives of companies getting tax breaks are tested as well. now not only that but so this republican lawmaker the king of the legislation also now has taken it off because a democrat out of the piece of legislation you know a provision to it that would have said than fine a federal law makers also have to get drug tested legally you can't do that thanks to a case in the courts and so supposedly the republican says it is not necessarily against the idea he just has to fix the legal language of yours he's not against it i find it so interesting that these lawmakers are always so gung ho about you know drug
1:51 pm
testing poor people basically but when it comes to the biggest welfare recipients the legislators no no please don't try to test us i mean i think i think it's true and there's all this mumbo jumbo about having to change the wording and oh you know i'll reintroduce this on monday so the wording is just right. it's very interesting when this kind of stuff comes up i think it does as you say bring up the discussion of wanting to target these poor people i want to know who's going to pay for the multiple amount dozens if not more of drug testers who would have to come and you know be employed by these statewide offices to drug test the thousands of people who would be required to where where that money come from and it ends up losing the state money we've done the story before because in florida they instituted the exact same thing and shockingly they found out that oh my gosh most of these people are actually on drugs and so now we just spent all this money drug testing them and it's really just a horrible horrible policy but i kind of like at least that some people are willing
1:52 pm
to stick it to them and say a final drug test you to annul a drug you know all the corporate executives that all get huge tax breaks and. serious never knowing when they were going to happen listen to this story so a british tourist had a little fun tweeting some stuff and so his tweet said one i'm set free this week for a quick gossip slash before i go and destroy america another tweet said three weeks today were to. totally in l.a. pissing people off on hollywood boulevard and diggin marilyn monroe and so what happens is that basically this guy when he arrived got held he told them there was a misunderstanding so that the marilyn monroe reference was a family guy riff and also that the official or the term destroy is just british slang for going out to party because of this he was still held on suspicion of planning to commit crimes and they had their passports confiscated i don't think just a royal just are it is slang not. destroyed tonight i think it's definitely taking
1:53 pm
it too far when you talk about tweets and facebook and that's the problem with the dames that we're living in is you know on one hand we've got all these people who are afraid for our country and needing to look out for terrorists on the other hand . this is america we have all these social media outlets and you can say we're going on i think we have to say though i'm really glad this happened because the last thing we need in hollywood is another drunk person stumbling down the streets i mean i think we need to keep the british drunks away and i think what was supposed to happen happened here you know sorry you have your vacation so now. you know that this is just going to show those maybe some people are going to make jokes we're going to call slang involved i have no idea so confiscating your passport to save you're going to commit crimes i mean another another wasn't really rage at the white house it goes to show just how close all of our twitter accounts are probably be followed to unmonitored point good point i'm sure they like. the tennessee tea party wants to change some of their history particularly. it's
1:54 pm
mainly the issue of slavery that has some tea party members asking for changes i sat down with a local activist who tells me it's not so much what's being in the text but what's been left out and how that could affect your kids' future and future generations of americans. are if you want to know if they're so concerned about being left out as if they're not really sure they like the way that slavery was portrayed they think that slavery was seen as too. negative and that kids are going to grow up and be taught in history that slavery was a bad thing and they don't realize how much you contributed to the south's economy at the time yeah because i think the worst thing that you could ever think was that you know if there weren't slaves the economy wouldn't have existed and actually we don't have to even look at history books we can look at alabama right now when you kick out all the illegal immigrants of the economy collapses i mean the bottom line is the slaves the did build this country in so many ways and we can say that and we can mention it but we should never mention it in
1:55 pm
a positive light as of saying. slavery i don't really know what it is slavery yeah because they don't want the kids to look back at the founding fathers and think oh my gosh they had slaves they were terrible people all i mean i don't think kids are able to make realistic thoughts on these things i was leading the other lives to yaz that they were afraid that they were going to think negatively of the founder of the family because i was let's face it come up that was a big ball i mean that's something that is worth talking about when it comes to the founding fathers is the for all of their principles of freedom and all their wonderful ideals that they were all slave owners alone i know you're getting ready to go to the next story but we actually switch stories because today we have to cover the biggest story of the day the biggest story of the day your birthday. too late. for them to tell anybody. anything all right thanks guys. happy birthday. everybody right ladies that's it for tonight
1:56 pm
