andrew breitbart has passed away. we're going to look into his legacy for better or for worse. >> animals, you're freaks and animals. >> two very different perspectives today. we will have the former head of acorn to talk about andrew breitbart, but also one of his top deputies will be on the show to talk about his legacy, so both sides. >> remember how we had sandra fluke on the show? here's what rush limbaugh said about her. >> she's a slut. she wants to be paid about sex. >> i can't wait to rip into rush on that. he said even things that are worse than that. we'll show you that later in the program, and also has president obama lost his mojo with young voters. >> i don't have any feelings about him, really, i don't know. >> we talk about why he might have lost those young voters later in the program, as well. it's go time. >> there is no corporate control here, independent programming. >> all right, welcome to the young turks. this morning, as i was reading the news it popped up on twitter and everywhere else that

it turns out it was andrew breitbrat, not andrew breitbart. great book out called "righteous indignation. " i read it. it's fantastic. if you haven't purchased it go and buy it immediately. >> kimberly: many copies. >> greg: many copies and help his family out. >> bob: a strong suggestion to any liberals they read it so you learn what the smart people on the other side are doing. there is plenty of dumb people. we don't want to worry about. a guy like this, he had people he taught. don't this -- he may not have 1 thank you of them but a lot of people learn from the guy. not against most of them but for people like him. >> eric: you know what he did? >> dana: he could cause trouble. >> eric: the path of what is acceptable to talk about he kept the boundaries to make it wider. >> kimberly: made it safer for everybody else to speak their minds. most people are worried what are other people going to say, think or write about them so they stick to what is conventional, p.c. for mainstream media. he never did that in his life. >> bob: all the time i

andrew, i've known andrew for a dozen years. sort of, among the first guys out there on the web. we use, back in the old days of instant messenger we would talk, i don't know, five times a day back in the late '90s, back when he was working for drudge and i was starting nationalreview.online. he was, he was one of most fearless people i ever knew. and, it's hard to --. bill: jonah, i want to read something to other viewers directly off the internet. this is posted on one of his web sites, breitbart tv. it goes like this. with a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of andrew breitbart. andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in los angeles. we have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior. andrew lived boldly so we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love. andrew recently wrote a new conclusion in a book called, righteous indignation nation, quot

i met andrew many, many years ago through mutual friend and regarded andrew and his wife susie as personal of his passion, too, that really drove him was being a champion and protector of the under dog, the conservatives don't need to be in a defensive crouch, that they can stand up proudly and declare their values and in particular conservatives in the minority community, or the sexual minority community, go proud was very important for him. he was so loyal and one of the things that michael touched on, too, that after our show tuesday night when i got home, and it was very late as you well know, i e-mailed andrew, and i teased him, and i said you're very sedate with piers. maybe it is the british humor that puts you in your place. we want the andrew belly laugh and that's a side of andrew i hope people got to see because it was infectious and so loveable. >> i totally agree. i felt the chemistry i have with him was getting better all the time as we got to know each other and i began to really like him and see him for what he really was. having said that, carol, there is another side to a

ann, i know you were very close to andrew. i knew andrew really well. i don't think, you know, i find this amazing this double standard that exists where if a conservative says anything about a liberal, hyper sensitivity, selective phony moral outrage. liberals will say this and they will get away with it. your reaction? >> yeah, no, i mean i was shocked. i didn't know rolling stone was still publishing. so that is new information for me and i'm sure video store clerks across america thought it was rip roaring hilarious since they are the only people read rolling stone magazine. the defense of these attacks has been when teddy kennedy died andrew breitbart called him something like a piece of human excrement. in andrew's defense he was a piece of human excrement. and, also, all you get for when someone has actually killed a girl oh, you know, the line -- "new york times" reporter wrote in his book that even mary jo kopecky probably would have appreciated what teddy kennedy appreciated in his lifetime. there is no negative press throughout the guy's life

the public version of andrew was not the version i knew. i won't miss the public version of andrew.king down the street in new hampshire, i will think of him, and i will wish i could run into the andrew breitbart who i knew. joining me now, author of who is afraid of post blackness and crib tor to time. and goldie taylor. contributed to a part of msnbc news. so this news came across this morning of andrew's death. i started looking at twitter. i thought i might say something. then i saw goldie did. and then you did, tourre. doeldie's first tweet. i passionately disagree with andrew breitbart, but a conversation ensued. we are both better for it. you got a lot of negative reaction to that. >> yeah, well, you know, all in a day's work. i had a, you know, a bad feeling about andrew breitbart for the first moment i heard his name and connection with the shirley sherrod issue, which is where most people know him. before that he was irrelevant to me, i could careless about who he was but we had a conversation that started on twitter. and people watched this. they joined in and watched us

>> sure thing, andrew.ig is looking to make this much, $6 billion in this deal involving its former asian insurance arm. it involves a sale of 1.7 billion shares. specific buyers haven't been identified yet but they're said to include fund managers as well as institutional investors. in a statement on its website, aig said it expects to use the net proceeds to reduce the balance due to the u.s. department of the treasury in the special purpose vehicle, the spv, through which aig holds aia shares. the balance in the spv is $8.5 billion. the 6 billion aig hopes to make will reduce that by nearly three-quarters. aig has come a long way in its repayment plan. that year, it got a bailout, you'll remember, more than $180 billion. that effectively gave the u.s. government control of company. in 2010, aig sold about two-thirds of its stake in aia to help pay down that bailout debt. this latest aia selldown, well, the remaining stake of aig in the asian business will drop from a third to less than 15%. we're seeing

gold has been up 11 years in a row, andrew. that's very unusual for any asset any whether in the world. if it continues its correction, which i hope it does, i'll buy more gold because gold is going much higher over the decade. silver, most real assets. >> so you'd be, as you say, coming back to this hard assets, real things with inherent value -- keep away from equities? keep away from treasuries? >> i sold you some equities -- bonds short, some treasury bonds short just on friday. i'm not very good with my timing on anything, especially with treasuries, so i wouldn't be buying them. i sold them short on friday. i'm not buying equities. i buy a few every once in a while. >> because you're so worried about the situation. >> i'm very worried about the world. i bought a few shares in japan this year and last year. a few -- if china goes down, i'll buy more in china. for the -- >> but the bulk of your portfolio is going to be in real assets. >> and currencies. >> which currencies? >> you'll see a lot of currency turmoil. swiss fra

first, andrew kramer is joining us on the phone from moscow. andrew kramer, let me begin with your headline in "the new york times" this morning. at chechnya polling station, votes for putin exceed the rolls. what happened here in this voting place? >> hello. thank you. well, this is just one polling place. and i was not -- i'm not from an observer mission so i wouldn't want to extend what i saw here to russia as a whole or even to chechnya as a whole but i'll get to this in a bit because some of the statistics speak for themselves. what happened was, i watched a count where as they were flipping through the ballots, the electoral commission, a members were growing somewhat nervous and it became apparent they would have more ballots than they had registered voters for the district. and this can be explained by absentee voting and something called mobile voting where they carry the ballots to people who are home sick, for example. but i was offered three different explanations for how this happened. and in the end, they registered on a protocol

andrew bynum puts the lakers up by three and the celtics call time-out. 20 points, 14 rebounds for andrew 15.5 remaining. celtics will have the ball. andrew bynum right from the start, an aggressive game. >> mike: lakers now have a three-point lead with 15.5 remaining. andrew bynum getting the call for the big shot. >> jeff: took a time-out. some may say why. he wanted to go inside to bynum. he did it. he didn't go to bryant in that situation. went to bynum and bynum delivered. >> mike: 15.5. we talk about it so many times during the season, when do the lakers fouls prevent three-pointers -- pierce to force overtime. >> jeff: i didn't say below seven. >> mike: ray allen gets it. has to adjust to pierce. pierce a long three. garnett throws it back out. rondo for three. won't go. and the lakers go on to win. the lakerers and the game on an 8-0 run in the last 2:20 to win their ninth straight at home and are now 18-2 at the staples center. andrew bynum with a big bucket as ray allen and the celtics just put him in that at the end. >> jeff: so many good things happened here. ray allen to prev

andrew?> nina, still to come this hour, chinese premier wen jiabao says reform is required to avert major social upheaval as his leadership nears its end. we'll talk to the executive of morgan stanley asia about what's in the cards, what's at stake and why a senior communist party figure won't be part of the new administration. stay with us. that was me the day i learned i had to start insulin for my type 2 diabetes. me... thinking my only option was the vial and syringe dad used. and me... discovering once-daily levemir flexpen. flexpen is prefilled. doesn't need refrigeration for up to 42 days. no drawing from a vial. dial the exact dose. inject by pushing a button. flexpen is insulin delivery my way. levemir is long acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. do not take if your blood sugar is too low. tell your health care provider about all medicines you take and all of your medical conditions, including if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. the

class warfare is not american. >> that was awe andrew. >> andrew saw himself as a truth teller. that's what he saw his job. that's who he was. you know, i was thinking about what i wanted to say about him tonight that hasn't been said over the course of the day. i thought, you know, whenever we have had revolutionary technology, the most effective communicators to speak directly to the american people, franklin roosevelt did it with radio in his fireside chat, richard nixon and ronald reagan did it with television, right to the american people. andrew breitbart at the dawn of the internet realized this could be used for good to talk directly to the american people to tell them the truth that the left-wing media would not tell them. >> we are going to talk to liz cheney. but one of his first appearances, he talked about the dangers of president obama apal ising about america in one of his first appearances on haifnlt secretary of state hillary clinton just said that america has a lot -- is to blame to a great extent for the violence that is happening overseas. and it's the left t

we'll have more on that from andrew in a moment. we'll have more analysis on where the trading action will be going with our market analyst michael houston. andrew, i think asia isy your big story. >> i think you're right, it is today's story. surprising given the fact we had such strong job numbers on friday out of the u.s. that we have this sort of reaction in the asia today. usually we'd expect to see strong green arrows across the board on the back of the fact that the world's biggest economy, the u.s., is growing robustly, especially in the jobs sector, which is important. the nikkei was up at more than 2% at one stage today, before finishing down 0.4%. shanghai down by a fifth. hong kong, a small gain. australia down by 0.3%. the story behind this, the story charles is talking about coming out of china once again, it's reported its biggest trade deficit in years for the month of february. now, let's take a look at the deficit. it's certainly raising new concerns about a slowdown in the world's biggest economy. beijing reported

>> we certainly will, andrew.n the meantime, let's go back to business news on "world business today." and take a look at how the stock markets are faring. 34 minutes into the did i's trading session, this is how the markets are doing. markets opened up as investors reacted to positive u.s. housing data which came out in yesterday's session. but we've also got things like the price of oil baiting a little bit today, down 1 .30 when it comes to the brent contacts. some of the stocks being the pharmaceutical companies, some of those use oil to obviously power their plants and banking stocks also doing pretty well in today's session. all eyes are focused on the uk budget announcements which will be coming in 2 1/2 to 3 hours from now, andrew. >> here in asia, nina, the arrows were going in the opposite direction, generally. the market's down over concerns of the slowdown in china. we don't have new numbers but there does seem to be more and more concern about the pace of the economy, the pace of the slowdown in the w

back to andrew stevens. >>> yes.t quite make the cutoff for the millennial, nina. >> neither did i. >> exactly. this is more of a story for me. the phrase print is dead might be up for debate in some media circles, but one of the best known names in the book world has just been consigned to the past. after 244 years of fascinating facts, encyclopedia britannica is calling time on its print edition to concentrate on the digital app. the school library staple was first published way back in 1768 in edinboro. it has been printed every two years. if you mourn its passing, we'll leave you with one final nugget of knowledge. i bet you didn't know this. in the first edition of the book, whose details we rarely question, homosap ens were divided into five types. the european, asiatic, american, african, and the monstrous. yes, the monstrous. fantastic. i wonder if they -- that was probably before the time that they had landlords that we've had to deal with over the years, nina. >> also probably before the time when they had

. >> certainly right, andrew. let's hone in and look at commodities, in particular agricultural commodities. global cotton price have been spiking. india bans cotton exports. the second largest cotton producer wants to preserve its supplies for its own which is second to agriculture in terms of importance to its economy. it's the second ban we have seen in as many years. u.s. cotton rose on the daily exchange limit to about 4 cents on monday to a level of $92.23 per pound. cotton futures in china, the world's top producer of cotton and india's biggest export market also rose by more than 1% on the back of the surprise move, andrew. >> the indian government apparently underestimated international demand for cotton when it lifted export restrictions last year to offset falling domestic demand. that decision could prove costly. sarah joins us live from new delhi. is the government in india saying there's a serious shortage of cotton in india? >> to be quite honest, we've tried to get a comment from the government, an
