they have the cadillac crude. that libyan oil has more gasoline in it than almost any other arab oil that is produced. it is a well desired crude that most western countries want to buy. host: do libyans produce anything else besides oil? guest: no. caller: does he believe that there will be a domino effect in terms of leaders from different countries? human-rights violations is almost rampant in a lot of that region. how will we justify going into one and not the other? does this also mark a shift in our thinking that began under the bush administration that is preemptive warp or preemptive conflict going into countries even though they are not attacked us -- pre-emptive war. we'll go when because of our interest. i'm not seeing this. host: thank you. guest: those are great questions. this preemptive involvement with the united states helped orchestrate begetting u.n. security council 1973 through the security council that authorized the use of military force to protect civilians. that has been used before in bos

what are the chances of a reporter or photographer being at that intersection the moment a cadillac estimate pulled up at the stoplight, stopped and fell into a 10 foot holes? what are the chance of someone else being there with a smart phone, a camera? our editors are on twitter and created something that everybody was going to. as in is that guy posted his photo of the escalade 10 feet down in whole, which was five minutes after he personally helped the guy out of the whole, we had it on our website. there is a credible source of information. whoever is at the event can tell you about it instantly. on the other hand, you have a congress woman gets sought, and many reported she was killed, when that was not true, but the same rushed to the truth. in some cases, you can almost justify it, because you can sell on facts or the story. in the financial industry, you do not need to be factual. sometimes we tell our beat reporters, if there is room out there, get out there and say, we have not confirmed it or thought of it. stay tuned. people seem to appreciate that. >> there was a recent slap on

escalade owners, cadillac, watch where you park. most stolen vehicle. it topped the list for four years in a row. the report says thieves carjacked ten of every thousand escalades. that's better odds than i thought. numbers are based on insurance claims. that's a fat ride. >> it is a big old car. >> i like them. >> will miss it when it is gone. takes two spaces. >>> this takes the terp power walking to a different level. researchers say you may be able to charge your cell phone by simply walking around. they unveiled a new technology that can capture the energy you produce and push it to your phone. they say it could make your battery last ten times longer. the little device slips into your shoe. >> this is a trick to make me exercise. elizabeth company lhen. >> you walk from here to your desk. >> then my wife will have an excuse, your cell phone needs to be charged. >> get up and walk. >> walk the walk. >>> still to come this morning, walking free from a tripoli hotel that became a prison. >> we were absolutely terrified that, you

the chances of a reporter or photographer from our intersection being at that corner the moment a cadillac escalade fell into a 10-foot hole? what are the chances of someone else being there with a smartphone camera? because our reporters and our breaking news hub and editors are on twitter and because they had created a hash tag called brew city flood that everyone was going to, as soon as that guy posted his video of the escalade 10 feet down in the hole, which was about five minutes after he personally helped the guy out of the hole that was the driver of the truck, we had it on our web site as our lead photo because we were there with him. and we got that. so there's a credible source of information from whoever's at the event can tell you about it instantly. um, on the other hand, you have a congresswoman getting shot and many be news outlets reporting that she's been killed when that isn't true by the same rush to the truth. in bloomberg's case you can almost justify it because the old buy on rumor, sell on truth or sell on facts, sell on the story where in the financial industry wit

it is again to get away from these cadillac plans. that congress passed laws to put congress under the laws of the land, and a list of those agencies, regulations, equal opportunity, all that, apply to congress. so there has been some progress there. but i do agree that our salaries in the federal sector have gotten too large. they're now outpacing what is happening along main street. and it used to be the opposite of that. i think i saw one study where there were -- gosh, how many more thousands of federal workers in a state that made more than the governor of that state even made, and that has got to end. i have got a bill that cuts back and starts to reverse that. it cuts the size of our federal work force by 10%. it starts to strengthen the size of government, starts to reform some of those plans. it is not the end solution, but i think it is the start of the solution. let me tell you, i get those same e-mails that you get about members of congress and retirement. i do know this, if members of congress got full retirement after tw
