peter barnes at the white house more details on this, who is not going and why? pple are going to be there but cyberspace is a twitter with the names of the executives who are not going to be attending reportedly because they are upset about lack of reforms in government surveillance programs that were revealed by ed snowden. people like marissa meyer of yahoo! mark zuckerberg of facebook, erik schmitz of google and larry page of google also i should point out their top deputies in security will be attending the conference. stuart: what is the reason for this? the people of facebook and google disagree with what the president wants to do in terms of surveillance? >> they feel he hasn't done enough to reform the surveillance programs ed snowden talked about and they are fighting him hard here in washington to make changes and fighting hard on capitol hill to get congress to reform these programs and while they tend to favor president obama in their campaign donations in 2012-2014, you saw plenty of donations from these companies going to republicans on capitol hill

peter barnes is at the white house with a preview of all.let me ask you direct question, we've got a choice we either arm the ukrainians or put new sanctions on putin i say we're not going to do either of the above. what say you? >> i would say that new sanctions are more likely than perhaps arming the ukrainians. yesterday, secretary of state kerry said that they agreed with angela merkel, the chancellor of germany, there is mow military solution here, and she is saying that if they can't get this deal with putin on wednesday when they have a summit meeting in bulgaria then they're going to be more sanctions coming but we'll see, stuart. we'll see. it's tough. stuart: momentarily, we're waiting, they are about 20 minutes late as we speak. congressman scott garrett is with us, republican from new jersey. she my congressman. welcome to the show. >> good to be with you again. thank you. stuart: don't want to suggest what might be coming up at the press conference. i want your opinion. would you support tougher sanctions imposed on putin now, b

we have fred barnes, executive editor for "the weekly standard" and peter morici, economics professor at the university of maryland. welcome to you both. fred, to you first, this is pretty ugly. nine months the talks have gone on. more than 20 ports are involved here. tell me how nasty is this impasse at this point and what kind of tactics are the unions using? >> the big one is a slowdown where they delay and they claim there is bad equipment and so on but slow down their work and that has been going on for four months. it is beginning to have a real impact. and these longshoremen, they're not exactly people having trouble putting food on their table at home. they make average wage of 147,000 a year on the west coast. they get fully paid health care and so on. and they have been offer ad 14% raise over five years. that may not sound that great but they're already well-paid. they also, will do well in any event because there is plenty of works, if they want to come to work and do it. gerri: that's exactly right. >> they have create ad mess that is hurting the economy hurting retail ye

peter travers said it's "about as erotic as an ad for potty barn." hate to see hollywood ruin a literally classic like that one. members of the s and m community have been divided. some say it's not an accurate portrayal of their lifestyle. others say it is. others aren't saying anything because they have ball gags in their mouth. the great thing about "50 shades of grey," the book -- it's porn, right? yet there it sits in the airport bookstore by the business self-help book. bondage porn next to suzy over money and lee iacocca. if you're looking for reman's there's no need to resort to reading. we have plenty of romance on television. there is a show on we tv called "match made in heaven." it's an all-black version of "the bachelor." i think it's mostly black versions of "the bachelor." "bachelor" has a charmer named chris. "match made in heaven" has a real estate developer named sean, looking for his match made in heaven. souping heaven as reality show casting room. this batch already has a couple of virgins to choose from. >> so me and mercedes ar
