commissioner brill, first of all, what were the guidelines that were issued by the ftc, and why now? >> guest: so, um, the guidelines are designed to inform the app community, and, of course, it's a very diverse community. there are lots of different players in the mobile app space. designed to inform them that there are laws that apply to them in the consumer protection and privacy realm and to help them figure out how to insure that their products are in compliance with our laws. so that's the overall goal of the guidelines. why now? the app economy is booming, as everybody knows. there are many, many consumers who are using apps on their smartphones, and in particular kids and teens are taking up apps in droves. um, apps have a unique ability to collect information, very detailed information about consumers, um, geolocation, they can access content from the phone such as contact lists, user id, um, all sorts of information that require careful thinking by app developers. so as this economy is booming, as there's a tremendous amount of innovation in this space, we want to insure th

julie brill, one of the democratic commissioners on the federal trade commission. she has been our guest on "the communicators." , at next, representative -- comingup next, representative mary bono mack. you just held a hearing recently on apps. what was the point of the hearing? >> the point was to make sure that we are exploring this area. there are many jobs being created here. there are policies that we put forward in washington that do not -- it is a relatively new industry that has been on least because of great ideas. we do not want the government to come in and destroy that. >> what were some of the problems that you saw in this area that you would like to address? >> one of the business problems is that there are still looking for more people to move into this industry and develop apps, all that goes into it. that is the biggest problem. some people are worried that people in washington will tell them how to do their business and hurt the growing business. the only real fear was workload issues. the rest of it is optimism. they recognized the growth in the

. >> representative mary bono mackall,, we talked with julie brill from the ftc and she talked about the guidelines and so many deal with privacy. what are your views on that? >> the discussion between the ftc and the congress is some of it should be voluntarily based or how much should the congress to step in. there is the pressure they put on the guidelines the industry uses and the ftc is constantly evolving on privacy. i think over the past year we've done a good job slowing the need to regulate in the space we can stifle innovation if we come in heavy handed so i appreciate the ftc has taken this approach let's give them guidelines to follow. but the industries themselves well tell you and tell us it is in the best interest to provide something for the consumer that actually doesn't go too far so the issue is how much of it is guidelines yet how much of it is self industry regulated or government intervention. >> when it comes to the privacy issue, what is your philosophy? >> guest: >> to move slowly. there are a lot of things i know we talked about before there are a lot of thi

host: representative barton, next week on "the communicators," we're going to be talking with julie brill of the ftc and mary bono mack about apps and the new guidelines that the ftc came up with when it comes to privacy. are guidelines enough when it comes to protecting privacy, or would you favor more of a -- >> guest: i would favor a more definitive legislative, statutory approach. but i'm not opposed of what these guidelines are and what the ftc -- i think the ftc has done very well in trying to do within their scope as much as they could for privacy. i don't -- i'm not negative on what the ftc's done at all. >> host: well, speaking of government agencies, what's your grade for fcc chairman genachowski's leadership and the fcc in general? >> guest: well, chairman genachowski is a very bright person, he's very intelligent, he's very hard working. i think he's, i think he does his homework. i don't agree with his philosophy. i think it's too regulatory, i think he has tried to stretch some of these older laws in ways that fit a political purpose of president obama who he's very close to

he is a brill advocate, and i think he's a far better advocate when speaking for somebody else than heon his own behalf. he is not eloquent but he is critizealizing. i did not hear a lot of crystallizing in tampa. maybe i missed it. i think crystallizing is in rare, rare supply this campaign season. >> ifill: we know what to listen tonight from both of you. and we'll be back with much more convention coverage, all that after the, news of the day. here's kwame holman. >> holman: republicans today offered their own critical take on the democratic convention. in idell, iowa, vice presidential candidate paul ryan said tonight's main speaker former president bill clinton will try to shift attention from mr. obama's economic record. >> we're going to hear a lot of things in charlotte, but we're not going to hear a convincing argument that we're better off than we were four years ago. we're going to hear from president clinton tonight in charlotte. my guess is we'll get a great rendition of how good things were in the 1990s but we're not going to hear much about how things have been in the la

brill kristol of the weekly standard and jeff delana of the new york times.e remember the speech where the president said that the trauma of 9/11 had led usions, quote, to act contrary to our ideals in promising to change course. brit, in the aftermath of what we have seen last week, how has the president's policy as set forth in cairo looking? >> well, it looks a little ragged and i would say that they were remarks that he made even before the cairo speech that were even more to the point when said in an interview on november 21, 2007 i truly believe he said that the day i'm inaugurated not only does the country look at itself differently but the world looks at itself differently and launched into a discussion of the muslim world and background in muslim countries and in tunisia and his half sister is muslim world and in the end ultimately went on to say this will make us safer, something the administration has failed to grasp. i think we are seeing the further education of a president who was and to come extent remains a foreign policy novice and learning t

i thought it was brill yanltly done. >> do you like the way he belittled the other side?ber churchill once said during the cold frozen winter when the nazis were losing in russia. he said they did not do their homework. they did not read that it gets cold in russia in the wintertime. that kind of brilliant disdainful commentary. >> now you have the parties in reverse. you have the republicans, they're practicing identity politics. they're saying those guys are taking your stuff. we're going to give you the country back. we won't tell you any specific way we'll do it but that's what we'll do. the democrats are now the policy party. >> bill clinton said he never learned to hate the other party. that's probably true. listen to him. >> though i often disagree with republicans, i actually never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls the party seems to hate our president and a lot of other democrats. that would be impossible for me. because president eisenhower sent federal troops to my home state to integrate little rock central high school. president eis
