as port authority chairman, david samson oversees a budget of $8.2 billion.dget of 25 state governments. and it has many more opportunities for corruption in it than most state budgets do. the chairman of the port authority has jurisdiction over complex issues than boast governors, but chris christie's definition of the job and david samson's definition of the job and the actual formal legal definition of the job, it's not a full-time job. and so david samson spends much of his time on his real job, which is lobby iist. lawyers function as lobbyists all the time without officially claiming that status. lobbying a pleading with government, usually on behalf of someone else for a benefit, usually on fwhaf of yourself and someone else. the lobbyists pen fit comes in the form of a fee. and that is what david samson really does for a living. and it is perfectly legal because the most important government job chris christie has to give up, the chairman of the port authority, the one that allows you to work at any other job you want foe while being chairman of the p

does the ftc's authority cover these new kinds of information? thinking of information as financial and health and different cat goes like that, in children, of course, especially. are there sensitive kinds of information that aren't realized are sensitive as these devices learn so much about us? >> guest: so a couple of things to note if response to your question. first, i think, the fcc's been engaged in the arena of privacy and data security for some time now, so to a certain extent why don't we call it, it falls under the rubric of big data. and by that i mean today you have this ubiquitous collection of just vast amounts of information. you now also have analytics, the new tools that can be used to process that information and allows companies to make sure -- so in many respects the issues i'm talking about today are issues that we confronted in the past, but now the fact that the amount of information that a's being gathered is of a significantly greater magnitude does raise just a qualitative difference because, again, it's just so much in

this is about whether state and local permitting authorities, the 90 plus authorities, are supposed to regulate plant by plant under this particular psd program. i mentioned the nsp is program -- the nsps program. nsps does not have the thresholds. it lets the epa decide what categories of sources are most contributing. it doesn't require the analysis of subsection e, which the epa has told authorities not to conduct because it cannot be done for greenhouse. -- greenhouse gases. it permits the epa to do this, a national uniform emission standard. rather than asking 90 state and local permitting authorities to decide plant by plant what they think each plant in their jurisdiction should do about -- >> in your opinion, is it 7411? you are saying they could use 7411 to get to the same place they are today. >> they are doing it, your honor. >> that i don't know what this case is about. can they do the same thing under one provision or the other. >> it is not exactly the same thing. it is the difference tween having the epa -- between letting the epa have national omissions standards -- and

i wanted very clear lines of authority that ran to me. and those clear lines of authority exist today. the chief of staff and the chief counsel. they divide up the job of running this office as they see fit with my approval. and then folks beneath them, like mike, follow that course of conduct because if they don't, then they'll have trouble because this is the way we have to run things. so, listen, everybody, i appreciate all the questions, it's such an extraordinary joy and relief to finally be able to come back and interact with you in the kind of gentle way that we always have, i would love to say i missed you, but i didn't. but i'm loog forward to having you all back. on a regular basis and the fact of the matter is this. the single most important thing for me to do is to learn from this experience, to learn from what i have read and what i have heard and to do my job. and all other considerations are really not even secondary and my job is governor of new jersey and i have three and a half years left to do that and i plan to do it a

moral authority and that's why he doubled down. kind of ironic is if the tables were turned, former u.s. attorney chris christie would have been all over the governor of the state of new jersey who had someone in this high level of position with these ethical questions. the ethical questions are real. the amount of money that wolf & samson, the firm that david samson co-founded, has made a lot of money during the years that christie has been governor. and i think that the trust that people want to have in that position has been compromised. it's conceivable the governor seems to want to double down on someone i think he would be smarter to say you did a good job, you're a loyal friend, but it's time to go. >> two other quick points on that line if i may. >> go ahead, julian. >> is governor christie made those comments after it was public that there were various e-mails from his senior staff saying that mr. samson was retaliating against people that were criticizing the bridge closure like mr. foye. there are also e-mails indicating

neighboring countries, the aviation authorities, and the multinational search force. whom have been here on the ground since sunday. we have shared information in realtime with authorities who have the necessary experience to intercept the data. we have been working nonstop to assist the investigation. and we have put our national security second to the search for the missing plane. it is widely understood that this has been a situation without precedent. we have conducted search operations over land, in the south china sea, the straits of malacca, and the indian ocean. at every stage, we acted on the basis of verified information and we followed every credible lead. sometimes, these leads have led nowhere. there has been intense speculation. we understand the desperate need for information. on behalf of the families and those watching around the world. but, we have a responsibility to the investigation and the families who have only released information that has been corroborated. and our primary motivation has always been to find the plane. in the first phase of the

david suchi, former faa investigator, author of the book "why planes crash." i was talking to david gallo and he raised the question of if in fact this plane crashed in this debris is related to the flight and it did land in the water, essentially with the flight 447, the air france flight, that plummeted at a great speed into the water. if a plane ran out of gas, for instance, ran out of fuel, would it nose-dive down into the water or would it be kind of a softer landing, soft as one can have in a 777 in the ocean? >> well, it depends on if it was in controlled flight or not and if there was someone navigating the aircraft. it potentially could have a softer landing. but if there was no one at the controls, eventually the power would overcome and the aircraft would start at a steep descent and plummet. so if it was not in a controlled situation, likely there would be smaller pieces than what we're seeing now. but that doesn't mean that it wasn't. >> so the fact that -- the idea that there may be a large piece, and again, we do not know if it's part of the air

does the ftc's authority cover this new information like financial, health? are there sensitive information we might not have realized are sensitive as the devices learn so much about us. >> guest: a couple things to note is that we have been involved for in this for certain mount of of time. this is falling under e-bick data where you have a vast amount of information and new tools to process the information and allows companies to make certain infrences to them. the amount of information beinging gathered is greater magnitude and this raises difference because so much information is being disseminated. i think one thing i believe you are getting out is that sometimes you can have benign information and make infreces. an example of this is one that was reported in the media where target had analytical tools they were able to determine based on the purchase of the individual and determine she was in fact pregnant because she was purchasing things like unscented lotion, for example. so it can raise concerns on the inferences being drawn and how the information
