mark weiss. our cnn aviation analyst, peter goals. former ntsb managing director tom fuentes.aneuver like that? >> the autopilot has to take inputs from somewhere. when you take a look, the first turn to the southwest which went back over malaysia, which we don't understand why the malaysians never scrambled aircraft to interset that aircraft, then took a turn to the northwest, and then again to the south. all had to be done by human input. whether it was on an fms, a flight management system, or whether it was done by changing the heading of the aircraft, and that would have been done while the airplane was on autopilot but a manual input. >> that turn away from the route towards beijing, it was supposed to go to beijing that turn happened a couple minutes after the last communication, good night malaysian 370" which raises a lot of suspicions. >> it does. the malaysians i think after just a few hours into this investigation have been focused on the cockpit. and we've all felt that this is something that needs to be looked at. because that plane was acting under human control

joining me now is criminal defense attorney brian weiss who has experience with political corruption cases and salon.com's joan walsh. thank you both for being here tonight. brian, let me go to you. david wildstein, camped out for days. what does that tell you. did he get immunity? >> well, i think it means he won the race to the courthouse. in a situation like this, immunity grants are like life preservers on a sinking ship. unfortunately there aren't enough to go around sometimes. and the fact that mr. wildstein, as you reported in your intro, has been camped out, closed quote, at the u.s. attorney's office tells me he is meeting with prosecutors so that he can be sanitized, and maybe get a dose of scotch guard before he goes in the grand jury. you do not throw a potential witness in front of the grand jury unless and until you sat down with them, vetted them and know the good, the bad and the ugly. because i'm telling you, reverend, the place to find out about the bad and the ugly is not inside that grand jury room. >> now joan, here's what the "star ledger" wrote about today's ne

mark weiss is a cnn aviation analyst.ohl, cnn aviation analyst, former ntsb managing director and tom fa wens a fuen, former fbi director. we now have four pings that have been detected and we believe this is not some sort of natural pings, these pings come from these two black boxes. >> well, this is exactly what we were hoping for, they would pick up multiple pings, keep the process going and get as many hits as they can as long as these batteries survive. because then you go into a much longer and protracted search. so they got to keep the ocean shield at work. hopefully pick up more hits. and i think they're going to narrow this search area way down. >> right now it's within 17 miles or so. the depth of the water, mark, is about 3 miles. so it's still a pretty significant area but clearly it's not hundreds of thousands of square miles as original this huge search in the indian ocean was concerned. but they still have a lot of work to do. they're not going to send the submersible, the unmanned vehicles down until they

onthe wall street journal february 4 had a rather long op-ed piece by a professor at , ruth weiss, she's a professor of yiddish and comparative languages and she has written a couple of books about the not seas and the holocaust. the headline is, the dark side of the war on the one percent. anti-semitism and the american class conflict. is there any connection between them? tom perkins called attention to certain parallels that he saw between out to germany and jews and americans, progressives and the one percent. for comparing two historically --parate societies, tom was there is something to be said for his comparison of the two situations. youyou among -- are unemployed? that the jews have your jobs. is your family mired in poverty? the rothschilds have your money. the parallel the tom perkins to sallies against wall street and the one percent. the ranks of those -- anyone seeking to understand the inner workings of such a campaign to find much food for thought in perkins letter. >> our overall goal for the evening is to spores much as we can the subject of inequality and why inequali

steven weiss and the director of investigations at the faa.n is an interesting one. we have so few hard facts about this plane. there is one. one viewer writes when the story first broke, there was a video showing this plane striking the fin of another plane with its wing tip. this damaged both the fin and the wing tip. could this repair on this plane have caused a cascade of failures that ultimately led to this plane's disappearance? >> it's a good question to ask and asked in every investigation and a group of people look at the maintenance records. there was a terrible accident in 1985 with a 7-year-old repair from japan where an aft pressure bulkhead failed and caused the depressurization of the airplane. this highly unlikely, talking about a wing tip hitting another wing tip or term, in aviation, there's a term called hangar rash, unfortunate things that happen on the ground and they're very very costly but you can repair an airplane now just good as new. typic typically these repairs, as good as new, very unlikely. >> was there anything

and criminal defense attorney brian weiss. welcome to all of you. bradley, let's start with your experience in these kind of offices. as a federal prosecutor. what does it mean when we see a witness go in and speak to a grand jury ins a case like this, an inquiry that thus far has not had confirmed evidence, confirmed reports of folks going in for this kind of testimony? >> well, the fact that a grand jury has been empanelled means the investigation has risen to a new level. grand juries are secret proceedings. they consist of individual jurors between 16 and 23 in number. and the entire process is controlled by the government. defense lawyers are not allowed into the grand jury room. and it is in a sense a one-sided proceeding. our former chief judge in new york once said that a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich. >> right. >> so if, in fact, the u.s. attorney decides at some point to present charges, it is more than likely that the grand jury will return what they call a true bill and indict. >> right. a true bill and indict. let me go to paul

steve wallace, fobter director of the fa's investigation office and our information analyst, jeff weiss. great to have you, steve, i think most people would think more is better in this case. wouldn't it make a difference to have more of these underwater vehicles helping out in the search? >> well, michaela, i would certainly think so. we've talked about this bluefin-21 covering maybe 15 square miles a day at best. and a couple of descriptions of the search area, one was 370 by 30 miles, whatever it was, about 11,000 square miles. that looks like a couple of years at that rate. i would certainly think more assets. i'm more an expert on things that fly in the sky than go under water. i don't know if these bluefin-21s can confuse each other, whether you can operate several of them near each other. i wouldn't know. the experts would have to answer that question. more is better certainly sounds right to me. >> how long do you think they can go before they decide there's nothing down there? you've been skeptical all along about this? do you think they should give it two weeks, three weeks? >

richard quest is also with me along with our aviation analyst geoff weiss.we know about how this plane was taken off course we have known one thing that then becomes another thing. so what we know may not be what happened. caveat for everybody watching. but what we know right now, who could be responsible for this at this point besides one of the pilots? >> well, the way that that plane was taken off course and the way that it was subsequently flown way point to way point, apparently deviating in such a way that it would avoid radar seems to have been very clever, very purposely flown with a lot of savvy and sophistication with the way planes are flown and the way airline operations are conducted. perhaps there was someone else on board who was able to fly a plane in that kind of way. we don't know. apparently all these passengers have been cleared. so suspicion, again, falls on the pilot. >> two completely opposing things from the malaysian government. i want to bring in the president of malaysia's national union of flight attendants. he worked with captain

republican named john power told weiss about the problems he encountered when he opened his path to the catholic association selection agents. >> i turned against my landlord. i've been reduced to extreme power and starvation and contempt for the opposition. so i must humbly beg you to do something on my behalf. >> powers signed the letter and margin acceptor dictating into a friend or associate. >> these poor irish didn't have much, but they had the one thing in which a democracy make them less powerful and they had the vote. and they're willing to use the power of that boat to improve the condition. if you're looking for the roots of tammany hall sensibility i can't think of a better place to start but not election in waterford in 1826. within 20 years of the election, always changed. the fan into populated the island, transforming noxious island, but american cities to which they fled. the famine type the irish and a lesson in local power. those who hold power and those without it they start. the starving irish look to the government for help only to find the scowling face of charles

[laughter] a republican named john power told weiss about the problems he encountered when he opened his pub to the catholic association's election agents. >> my landlord threatens to throw me out of my house. i've been reduced to explain above ofty and left in a state of starvation and contempt by the opposition party. so i must humbly beg you to do something on my behalf and not have me and my family round forever. >> power signed the letter with his mark, an x after dictating it to an associate. these poor irish didn't have much but they had one change that made them as powerful as a rich man they had the vote. and they were willing to use the power of that vote to improve their condition. and who could blame them? if you're looking for the roots of tammany hall's irish sensibility, i can't think of a better place to start than that election in waterford in 1826. within 20 years of that election, of course, all was changed in ireland. the famine depopulated the island transforming not just ireland, but the american cities to which the survivors fled. the famine taught the irish a

. >>> let's get back to rene march along with mark weiss, peter goelz is also here and miles o'brien. peter, you know, you've worked with families in these kinds of heartbreaking investigations. what can malaysian authorities do right now to ease their minds a little bit? >> at this point, there's not much because this process of grieving family members should have started -- briefing family members should have started the first or second night. this shouldn't have been the first one. it should have started early on so that the family members had been brought along with the frustrating nature of the investigation. now the family members simply don't trust a word the malaysians say. >> i think that's a fair point, miles, because credibility is so important right now. what else can the malaysians do to instill some credibility, some reassurance with those families? >> well, you know, it's hard when the well has been poisoned as much as it has, wolf. it occurs to me, when you think about the ntsb template of informing on a consistent daily basis, what the ntsb is sharing is not details o

weiss is okay to subject people who contribute $200 directly to a candidate's campaign to this alleged infringement of first amendment rights had not corporations or individuals who spend millions of dollars to elect or defeat a candidate? that is a whole double standard. so it's time for senator mcconnell to stop saying the d.i.s.c.l.o.s.e. act is some kind of lefty conspiracy or pretend that it's designed to squelch free speech. it is designed to accomplish what he previously said he supported, more disclosure, not less. the fastest way to implement the public support for broad disclosure and transparency would be to pass the current d.i.s.c.l.o.s.e. act. as i said earlier i hate have been more than happy to work with senator mcconnell to resolve in the legitimate concerns. now, in the meantime because of the lack of congressional action on the disclose at there are other efforts underway to address the pieces of this issue. the fastest way to do that is to look at some of the issues relating to 501(c)4's because the one thing that has received the most attention deals with the irs r

here is a piece in "usa today," from craig weiss, from enjoy inc. of the electronic cigarette makers. he says our products can help into smoking. tobacco will prematurely kill 480,000 americans this year, and e-cigarette skin -- deliver nicotine without combustion and can help into smoking. cigarette companies independent of the tobacco industry are making them obsolete -- he writes in his piece in "usa toda y." he says smokers have switched from combustion and it's harm, he says it must constrain nicotine to unsatisfying levels or bad flavors that appeal to adult cigarette users, could keep current smoker smoking. we embrace efforts to prohibit candy flavors to minimize youth appeal. taxing e-cigarettes risk promoting continued combustion smoking. and he writes that -- they shouldwe want to know what you think about the federal government regulating e-cigarettes. should they do and how far do you think this regulation should go? we have brett, calling in from oklahoma on the independent line. caller: good morning. thank you to c-span. i think my co
