since this is our team you. thought of another short break when we come back showing how then the f.b.i. the outgoing cyber cop says the losing the war against. that of protest isn't working. back to our studios here in central moscow this is a twenty four hours a day top stories now is raining tear gas and stun grenades make protesters across the palestinian territories at least one person is being killed palestinians are marking lend day remembering six demonstrators utah jury and confiscation over thirty years ago. french police notes around twenty suspected islamists in a series of raids in several cities around the country in the wake of the toulouse killings of french presidential hopefuls grandpa and immigrant told during their

campaigns. and as part of fish meat packing a u.n. sponsored peace plan to syria nato countries are still funding the rebels britain's promise to funnel of additional aid to the opposition with hundreds of thousands of pounds. i'll be back with more in half an hour from now those stories in full in the meantime it's back to washington d.c. and the i want to show presented by christine for zone today. time now for show intolerance and its program earlier this week we talked about the impact of occupy wall street movement which has been declared all but dead by the media all while occupiers promised a resurgence so do you think we'll see an o.

ws style american spring or go to producer producer treasonous i'm trying to find out what you had to say on the streets of d.c. to tell people in the nation's capital what our viewers had to say on twitter facebook and you tube and see which comments we should keep cordially. as we head into the spring and summer we asked our viewers will we see a reoccurrence of the occupy wall street movement so i'm going to read your response from e.-n. on facebook he told us there will be a resurgence in the end of may and beginning of june when students responsible for a large part of the movement will be out of school do you want to keep it or delete it keep it. i think that as the weather gets better and kids are out of school and we get closer to the election the issues of inequality are going to grow if you want to keep their dilema. oh it's a yes q. this election draws nearer and the weather starts to get warmer you probably will see

a resurgence of the political. you know movement to. keep it. they'll get back to the drawing board. whatever viewers definitely not nowhere near an occupy wall street style american springs and wall street does not have a cohesive plan of attack nor does it have a fully formed list of reasonable demands do you want to keep it or delete it i don't agree. it is in have. all the. compete put together as he goes on you find we i mean it's all good cause side agree with. wall street has run its course. said shouldn't stop until they reach their goal is obviously washington isn't getting the message do you want to. keep. their washington his message or not it's going to take a great deal of effort to dislodge the status quo whether people think the movement

is over or not occupy wall street is a ready making plans next month they will have a ninety nine percent spring training across the country and there's already a general strike in the works for may so will we see an american spring or just have to wait to find out something. and thanks for your responses as usual our years our next question to you earlier in the show we discussed the brics summit taking place right now in india and the blocs plan to move away from using the dollar as the reserve currency so why do you think some of the largest economies in the world making the move away from the dollar is not bigger news let us know what you think on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response just might make it on air. well the f.b.i. is top cybercops shawn henry is leaving the bureau and he has a departing message for the american people there is a war going on a war against hackers and he says the united states is losing it's

a dire warning we've heard from u.s. officials many times before. the next pearl harbor that we confront can very well be a cyber attack that cripples or power systems around the grid this is a matter of national security a cyber attack on america can do as much or more damage today by incapacitating our banks or or communications our or our finance or taishan as a conventional war taking target come not only from a few extremists in suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer. henry says the f.b.i. has been forced into a defensive position against increasingly talented how various private companies are simply unable or unwilling to protect their networks oftentimes unaware that they've even been hacked the private public approach is failing us but all of the apocalyptic warnings that beg the question what should be done more regulation more

money joining us to answer those questions as jim harper director of information policy studies at the cato institute jim first of all is there a war against hackers and are we losing it let's call it a war is overstatement and to talk about cyber terrorism is overstatement cyber security is thousands of real problems with data networks even. hooter's problems that hundreds of thousands of people and institutions work on over many many years it's not a war and there's no terrorism involved and we can settle down and work on these problems seriously without throwing up our hands or or giving it all to the federal government to work on and that this term cyber terrorism and cyber war of course john henry says that and we've also heard from leon panetta from president obama but i'm wondering what you think is sort of the end game here is that just simply more regulation and more money devoted to the well when you've got thousands of problems to work on what do you do not think about fixing them all think about who should be responsible for them the goal in washington is to move this all to

washington and make federal agencies responsible whether it's the department of defense or the department of homeland security i think the better approach is to put responsibility where it lies now which is that with the owners of the data with the owners of the networks and the owners of the computers they lose money if they fail to secure their infrastructure from the moment that they that they do fail so you mean owners of the computers you know if we're talking about computers that a large corporation it's the heads of a corporation that are responsible to the heads will the corporation itself so we want we don't want to cybersecurity bail out with the government coming in and fix them had to be ready for our businesses business is that fail to secure their own infrastructure should fail that's good for all of us because it will strengthen the ones that remain basically we need those processes to continue working rather and cybersecurity over the government to fix for everybody maybe not fix it all right they haven't made it a priority so i know that you wrote about this and you called the cyber security act of two thousand and twelve a soviet style cyber security a regulation what's so dangerous about this bill will it's centralization of

process is that really should be dispersed look the internet or the internet brilliance is the fact that it's dispersed the genius of it is it people across the internet can communicate with one another work on problems together what do we do to secure the internet put it in the hands of a single federal government agency to try to fix all the thousands hundreds of thousands of problems the idea is bringing corporate sectors in and in the regulators think we have to do this you have to do this you have to fill out the. paperwork you have to certify you've done it with all that stuff isn't fixing problems the job is to fix problems leaving people who will lose money if they don't fix problems and you're likely to see a lot better focus. what do you think i mean do you think that the public is especially susceptible to these attacks by hackers because they see news of this over and over and you know or i mean are they are they just more worried is it fear mongering what's going on here there's a lot of fear mongering the public doesn't really know how all these problems work either and so they're susceptible to hearing that they're cyber terrorism you know what they saw in the movies resonates with you here in washington what you hear in hollywood are pretty similar let me start to think it's real so i was actually kind

of boring it's it involves patching your software doing smart things encouraging employees not to give away their passwords or do all the things that allow data to speak compromised no there will be years and years of learning about how to secure things and there's no sense this isn't a real problem but it's nothing like war it's nothing like terrorism we're going to be all right and lots of work has to be done i tell you what i went through a few years ago here in washington i went to a cyber security conference of all of the big wigs former heads of just about every agency in this town there and they sort of staged a mock cyber security attack it was on everybody's cell phone and anyone who had downloaded the app for the march madness that. they say is that it just went to show how much could happen now and how you know the connection to the computer isn't the apps on our phones and computers could actually lead to violence i mean it is this just. there's very very little chance they could happen you know the stuxnet virus in iran had some kinetic effect it has had the real world damage but

it is very well placed we were real world damage and just a little bit and it was produced by the united states and perhaps israel real world damage from cyber security will happen very rarely it hasn't happened almost any other place and when it does it will be small it will be contained the worst thing that could happen to the average person is perhaps. financial network going down and you're not able to get some cash out of the a.t.m. well then take the day off work something to be really scared of let's talk about the cyber security industry itself in fact mr henry is leaving his government position to go work for a private security firm is this sort of the next booming industry should we tell college students now that this is what you should major in there's already a big business in quote unquote cybersecurity and a lot of people have left government through the revolving door to go into the cybersecurity business and there's some of the chief spokespeople arguing that this is the biggest thing since nuclear terror it's not but they do stand to make a lot of money it's worth watching who's talking about these things sometimes the mainstream press won't tell you that michael mcconnell works for. a government

contractor that stands to make millions tens of millions perhaps hundred thousand dollars on cyber security expert that's right he knows a few things there's no two ways about that but he has a point of view but he's selling and maybe he's literally selling. and you talked about sort of the money involved here i know the u.s. government is expected to spend ten and a half a billion dollars a year on this by twenty fifteen analysts have estimated that the worldwide market is as much as one hundred forty billion a year the defense department says it seeking more than three point two billion in funding just for this year was sort of the story behind these numbers here will there is there is something the u.s. government can do which is to be a smart purchaser of hardware software and services itself so that to the extent it is spending money on cybersecurity in the stuff that it buys that's actually a good idea and that will improve the market for secure hardware software and services throughout so you can see that all cyber security spending is waste but

trying to corral the private sector into following government cybersecurity mandates probably a mistake obviously u.s. government a huge buyer of technology and it should be a smart buyer who could help things that way. your perspective has it really when you when you look at this topic as discussed in the mainstream media there is so much very little skepticism so it's good to have you on here and sort of giving. the other side of the story jim harper director of information policy studies at the cato institute it. still comes in i have the pentagon's love of spending your tax dollars earned them nights told time award and also stick around for happy hour reporter is outed by a competitor for being a surfer plus reports a dominic strauss kahn that loves luggage i'll explain in just a moment. the

official we can join the one called touch from the dumpster. lights on the good. video on demand. smiling. omissions for you now with the palm of your. machine on the call. real. real. real. real. real. cold real world video for your media drug deal gone to argy dot com.

it's. time now for tonight's told time award and this time it's going to the pentagon we've discussed the after thirty five program on the show it's time and time again you know the most expensive defense program ever the one that's been riddled with

problems and the lazy the jets have been grounded for everything from valve issues to parachute problems in the past few months and let's not forget to mention that the persistently faulty planes are hopelessly and absurdly over budget and lots like the pentagon announced that it would postpone the production of one hundred seventy nine of the two thousand four hundred forty three after thirty five but they will eventually order now the goal to save fifteen point one billion dollars over the next five years. probably about announcement a strongly also decided to delay their order of f. thirty five and italy decided to cut its order from one hundred thirty one planes to ninety well after the pentagon announced the production postponement the head of lockheed martin had this to say about the announcement he said it will raise the overall average cost of the total procurement of all the airplanes got bought sound like a used car salesman much get it now with this one time rock bottom never better offer but in reality the f. thirty five aren't going for rock bottom prices they're going for billions of

dollars and counting just as we got reuters obtained new projections from the pentagon about the ballooning cost of the f. thirty five and the numbers aren't good looks like the total cost of the f. thirty five program went from one trillion dollars to one point forty five trillion that is a four hundred fifty billion dollar increase in just the last year with a price per aircraft jumping fifteen billion dollars a cycle walky wasn't kidding now that price includes inflation for the course of the program and nevertheless the price tag for the future of the u.s. fighter program seems to be going up anyway and it really just seems like someone needs to stop and say hey this is out of control this project is a failure but we all know that won't happen and wasn't a secretary of state at the time but robert gates back in two thousand and nine he spoke about the f. thirty five program. we obviously have a huge investment in this aircraft it is the heart of the future of tactical combat

aviation for services. gave gates that we were heavily invested back in two thousand and nine the investment just seems to keep on growing the f. thirty five program has truly become the too big to fail of the defense world and really it should come as no surprise that the government has no intentions of bailing on the program given the fact of the company producing the f. thirty five lockheed martin since our very cozy relationship with the government lockheed martin scored what many saw as a major victory in the obama administration's twenty thirteen budget so lucky will have a monopoly on the fighter industry in the united states just last week alone a time to grow from brave new films and he had this to say about the relationship between the government and lockheed martin the f. thirty five is a prime example it was approved by a gentleman of the pentagon named pete aldrich who right after he got done approving that standing and in so much twenty two spending which is another lockheed product that he went to work for lockheed martin on their payroll. well

surprise surprise the revolving door played a part in the beginning of this after the five disaster and let's not forget the other project eric brought up the f. twenty two and other lockheed martin projects plagued with issues remember last fall when the entire fleet was grounded after they found antifreeze an oil fumes in the blood of the pilots sounds like a program that's on the road to success but it seems that in the pentagon lockheed martin can do no wrong and the f. thirty five project will march on a matter how long it takes and how much money it ends up costing and for that the pentagon is tonight's top time winner. all right joining me now for happy hour is lauren lyster host of the capital account and our t.v. producer jenny turtle thanks so much for being on the girls already they.

have guys always think that wouldn't when girls get together a party there's always pillow fights make it go if i'm not having on the show girls i'll see what happens at about seven minutes ok so first person i google is allowing its users meaning you and me to monitor their own online activity on wednesday they began that letting people get monthly reports which summarize all the places you've been on the internet. a local news stories covered this at once. but there are also a variety of software tools that are available online for you to track which are children are doing to monitor what they're doing. all right so this is called the account activity feature and what a nice favor for them to let us kind of check up on where we've been but i guess also a reminder that they know where we've been is the most absurd thing i've ever seen you know everyone's freaking out because google's new privacy settings have them

aggregating all of your information from all of their sites in one place and now they're going well we're going to make that information available to you now it's a good thing because you can monitor what's going on with your account yes like right now that makes it ok anybody who wants to actually see their account activity summarize on google it has way too much because we already spend so much time on google particularly analyzing that then you've got some serious issues i really honestly believe that this is all about them trying to spin this in a way that makes it seem like they're doing you know when really they're all in your business yeah i don't disagree with you there i don't think i mean i think if anything it's a reminder to know that they've probably been monitoring us this whole time now here's proof that they know sort of where we've been proof in the form of exactly let's talk now about i know warren you like me are from california and when i worked in local news there i was always doing stories about the next smoking gram first it was banned from restaurants and it was banned from the restaurant and it was banned from parks and beaches all turns out this week the city of el guerrouj

el grove california began discussions to ban smoking from rental apartments the california apartment association and the rental housing association of sacramento valley are opposed to the smoker or polling measure and there's other areas as well that are kind of talking about the secular. over the last decade smokers across the country have been on the fence pushed offices restaurants and books new york city's now taking the war against tobacco will step further with a new law that goes into effect so boring. out to beaches boardwalks parks and the jet stream planes. so what if you're a smoker maybe you just shouldn't live in new york or california if you're a smoker you're becoming a pariah you're getting squeezed out of everywhere but no i really do have major problems with a smoking ban on rental units because i should be up to whoever owns apartment buildings and if they want to have

a no smoking apartment or smoking smoker for benefits or the like pat you know it's up to them to have the city come in and say this is a bad if it i think a huge breach of people's individual rights. i actually could this is so weird we're going so much i feel kind of uncomfortable but i just want to argue i know i couldn't agree more though because i can't imagine that when a government goes and says you aren't able to do this in your own home you know i think that's a little crazy i know these people don't own their homes but they rent and you know what are they going to be doing not saying that people who are gay that live in a part of buildings can't be having sex in those apartments i mean there are no limits on i don't think that i think you're i know this it's no i don't think it is because smoking does affect other people if you're renting in a unit smoke comes in from the unit next to you i mean to my apartment all the time or it's not horrible. as you get into the to the paint and the walls but like you said were not should be up to the building owners sodomy laws first of all those long i mean. i don't know how they monitor that is this working is

a little easier and you know that doesn't affect anybody else that someone's an individual right but if you're right. i got to just yourself i don't think we need the government coming into our place of living where we choose what we do in telling us what to do and any manner of our lives i really i think it's a little more secure when you talk about sort of the laws. for parents smoking in their cars if there's children in those maybe there's a little more for discussion i want to move on because this is a really good story apparently a reporter in houston she writes for the houston chronicle she's a conservative reporter our twenty one year old sarah trust or wasn't making here's a picture of her as she was making out of money i guess working as a reporter so she had another job there she is there in her stripper outfit now. here's what happens when you have you know they say this is a very cutthroat competitive business so richard connelly a reporter with the houston press found out about her other job and did an exposé

about her. found out that she also keeps a facebook and twitter profile and blog using the pseudonym angry stricker. and she was shamed well love you know she was not shamed asport she had an angry stripper blog where she blogged in detail about stripping including the preferences of weird customers and our nickel positions i mean that's what i think for this is absurd and she tries to. do you know not ok doesn't matter after her it doesn't matter what she was asking for what she got was an interview tomorrow morning on good morning america so i'm going to say she. was hot yes exactly this is the best thing that ever happened to this girl i mean she was a star i don't think she cares that she was a stripper she had a blog she had photos you know it's unfortunate for her i think in her eyes that she lost her job as a society writer but i think she's going on to bigger and better thing yeah and if the society writer it's not like she's you know this is some conflict of interest with our hard news you know crime fighting reporting you know she's covering party

she's on the social circuit it's basically like a who's who of society the losers here the jokes that are on her bosses conservative houston paper who have been sending out stripper to all the conservative ladies who lunch benefit the joke is really on her coworkers who apparently ratted her out to this other newspaper because they were jealous i was. that she was walking around in that she bought with her stripper money you know the current reporters that we see around here in washington aren't so designer lead us are you already nice enough for that come on jerry lee make money to let everyone know that let me move on really quick let's talk about going on the former head of the i.m.f. such a lovable guy as a little guy and an extrovert as we remember he is he was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid that case was dropped but he's not totally out of the woods yet he apparently is involved in possibly another scandal referring to women as luggage

and equipment and texts he sends as well as alleged pimps with whom he's accused of planning a string of sex parties sex part sex and sex parties according to a leeds transcript of his police questioning he admitted to police that he used inappropriate language calling women luggage he. just what do you guys think about this i mean we're seeing right now. been charged with aggravated pimping which is like a funny charge even though it's i guess a serious offense but i do think this gets a little sticky because prostitution is illegal. but it's legal in france but pimping is not so it gets a little confusing because what ok so if you ask your friends to bring prostitutes now you're aggravated and that that he called them luggage i mean i think it's funny that they had code words and yes i do think monica i think it's telling people as in disposable i don't like luggage we are out of iraq you're out of time ladies it was good to have you laura lester and jenny churchill that's going to do

it for tonight show thanks so much for tuning and be sure to come back tomorrow david house the founding member of the bradley manning support network will be on the show to talk about his lawsuit in the meantime don't forget to become a fan of the alona show on facebook and follow us on twitter and if you missed any of tonight's show or any night catch him all you got on slash feel ownership now posting the interviews as well as the entire show on the site and it's coming up next. so for assistance a new job the race of. the race if you came in for example surgery it's on its but . breast cancers more than stands on its toes cancers fourteen times we forget the exact reasons bullish huge numbers there's not nothing big you have ever found in any epidemiological study to be wherever there is
