arianna huffington, chair, president, and editor in chief of "the huffington post" media group. and ed connor, visiting scholar at the american enterprise institute, former managing director at bane capital. arianna, do you think that the obama you're seeing now -- and one of the things i'm struck by is how the election changed the political climate. # the republicans seem on the defensive, trying to reinvent the plan. obama seems more confident. is this the new obama? is this the old obama? is this the real obama? >> well, the great thing for obama right now is that he has the public on his side. my concern right now -- and that's, i think, will determine which obama will actually prevail -- is that jobs and growth are not on his agenda. it is absolutely stunning. if you go back to the election, he kept campaigning around jobs, rebuilding our bridges, rebuilding our infrastructure, the american dream, saving it for the middle class. and both the rhetoric and the legislative agenda around these issues is nowhere to be found. >> i think -- i don't think obama has changed much. i

arthur delaney from huffington post in studio.hur, you mention the this report went on the from the white house last night detailing what would happen in each of the 50 states. the headlights reflect that and the detroit news this morning, headlines, michigan to lose millions in jobs money in across-the- across-the-board spenting cuts. connecticut, in the louisville currier journal, kentucky and indiana would feel federal spending cuts from defense to parks. state by state. they have outlined who will get hit. now maybe people will be aware of what's happened. >> we are on twitter @bpshow. lots of people weighing in on seth mcfarland. marine said seth mcfar lanted was great. the younger audience loved him. i don't know if i agree with that but paul winters says isn't bashing the oscar arresthost as much as watching the ausc-arizona, themselves >> bill: the billy crystal days, whoopi goldberg. i was he can static. >> people debate. he is funny. but people always debate it, you know. i think that's a valid point to bring up. on the

i know this in the huffington post. we have a big bureau now.have a lot of reporters throughout digging all the time. it's hard to get answers to simple questions because this white house does try to control the flow of information. but what that means you have to do, you're not going to get it out of the administration for the most part. you got to go to the hill to get it there. you got go to kay street to get it there. you got to go to court records to get it there. you got to get it there first and then confront them with it to get any information out of it. that's sort of the way it's always worked. it's harder now -- it's harder now that any white house feels rightly that it can pretty much communicate at will directly with the american people, without having to go through either the television networks. or cable networks. the major newspapers and major websites. news websites. they don't do it. and it's going to be very rare that they will in the future. and i guarantee you that whatever the next administration is like, it's going to be e

let me drill down a bit on huffington post.ecause when you guys bought there, there were some questions and a bit of criticism, they are spending so much money. in retrospect, how smart a deal has this been? >> very few times during anyone's life that you see brands that can become global brands, and i think the huffington post from our perspective we knew two years ago and it is two year anniversary of the deal right now that arianna and her team had built a game changing property and brand. wall street looked at the deal and didn't like it at first. but i think, you know, wall street and in a lot of cases lags behind where the opportunities are because they're focused on the here and now and we're focused on where things are going and i think it's proved out to be true. we have had double digit growth in in traffic. we have expanded internationally. we won product of the year, most innovative media product. you look at huffington post, i would argue it is one of the most valuable media properties in the world right now. liz:

i'm joined by arianna huffington.s for the economy if so many young people are not working? >> i think the risks are really serious. they call it the scouring effect. when you graduate from college and you don't get a job or have just graduated, another daughter in college and a lot of their friends are deeply concerned about the fact that over half of them, over half of those graduates last year are either unemployed or underemployed. that's unprecedented over the last decade. it had never been so high. we are talking about over a million students. and on top of it, christine, that is really what is so tragic. they're burdened with massive debts. over a trillion dollars is now the college loan debt, higher than credit card debt. >> unlike the resources to weather it out, wait for a good job and connections of a network to get into a good job or good company, you have these kids taking part-time jobs, jobs that don't require a college education and they're being sidelined in the service industry. they're losing that f

to keep a journal of news reports about politics, news sources included the economist, the bbc, huffington post, but the top two banned sources onion, which the assignment wrote was not news, is literally a parody and number two, fox news. she wrote the tag line, fox news makes me cringe. please do not subject me to this biased news station. i would almost you rather print off an article from the onion. well, following some unexpected reaction from press presser wolf allows fox to be used as a source, we've broken through. >> i'm glad and i'm sure this professor is going to have a great career in academia because they just love this stuff, but you know, i love the idea of the bbc and the huffington post being fair and balanced. >> why do we scare people so much? >> we should give professor wolf a shoutout. for making her cringe, we're doing our jobs here like most media outlets. this typical of academia. the white house has been on the campaign to try to miss disand marginalize fox news and start at the top and only imagine it goes all the way down. >> kirsten. >> i agree with that, i don'

my views tend to be more on the progressive side, so i'll read things like slate or the huffington post. what i think i do, um, even if i try to separate the parts that i do because i'm an academic and that i do as a citizen is kind of what we suggest in the book which i think we need to be news grazers. we need to sample from different sources. and i should add in that list "the daily show." i'm a regular viewer. >> host: what's the importance of the daily show, in your view, dean? >> guest: i think right now "the daily show" and to a somewhat lesser extent "the colbert report," both speak truth to power better than any journalist outlet that i know of, that they do a great job both highlighting what the important issues of the day are but critiquing both journalists and the political system on their, the honesty and straightforwardness and accuracy with which they present information. so i use it almost as an ombudsman of the political and media system right now. and it's really funny. i enjoy that. >> host: annenberg school of communications dean michael x. deli or carpini is our gue

with us senior military correspondent with the huffington post, dave wood.ave, how are you, my friend? >> good. >> i'll send this first question over to you as we talk about the importance of drones and u.s. military strikes. the numbers are nearly impossible to discern in terms of casualties in and around this. why -- i mean, there is skresy in the program, but how the u.s. military classifies a sdmrool we are talking about drones but we should be talking about killing. once the president determines that we're at war, it sort of hands over to the military the whole question of who do you kill and how? the fact is the drones are a useful technology if your job is to kill people. they're precise. they can establish a lot of good intels, but it's a tool. the real question is who are we killing and why? are we at war and are we not? it just lays out the legal steps to determine how to go forward, and who are we trying to kill and why? that's the important question here. >> it's amazing that we don't actually -- there is no definitive answer to that. >> i have a

." >> joining me today washington bureau chief at the huffington post, ryan grim, vice president of demoseather mcgehee, and political analyst for msnbc and a visiting professor at nyu, and cnbc's squawk box co-host, "new york times" columnist andrew ross sorkin. just ten days from now billions of dollars in automatic spending cuts are scheduled to kick in. with congress on recess until monday, lawmakers will have just five days to find a solution. an hour ago speaking in front of first responders who lose their jobs or see their hours drastically trimmed by the so-called sequester, president obama urged congress to avoid the cuts and specifically urged republicans in congress. >> republicans in congress face a simple choice. are they willing to compromise to protect vital investments in education and health care and national security and all the jobs that depend on them, or would they rather put hundreds of thousands of jobs and our entire economy at risk just to protect a few special interest tax loophole that is benefit only the healthiest americans and biggest corporations? that's the

and sam stein of the "huffington post."reat to have all of you with us tonight. >> thank you. >> michelle, you first. what do you make of the white house's response tonight that they are providing the memos that those on the intel committee wanted? >> they obviously should have provided them a long time ago. it was always ludicrous, not only that these weren't made public, but that they weren't even allowed to the people who are charged with overseeing our intelligence agencies. and what they're asking for is basically the rationale that the government uses to decide when it can kill an american citizen. i mean, nothing can kind of be more fundamental to the government's ability -- or to the senate's ability to rein in cia and -- to rein in cia access. >> colonel, this is warfare that americans aren't used to. and they ask questions about what are our constitutional -- what is our leeway here? what is fair game and what is not? and how are these decisions being made? is this just the new wave of warfare that we have to get

for the latest i'm joined by "huffington post" reporter ryan reilly.joins us from washington, d.c. where he was in the court chambers today. it is always secretive in the supreme court. what was the scene inside the courtroom like today? >> it was pretty -- there was very -- sort of -- very pop -- you know, obviously the voting right's act is a very popular piece of legislation with a lot of civil right's groups, and it has had an enormous people with a lot of people, and prevented discrimination for nearly 50 years now. within the courtroom you had a lot of groups that support this legislation. i think it has been very effective in eliminating discrimination in the south over a number of years, but you also had on the bench certainly, there seemed to be a very lackluster sort of attitude towards whether or not this was going to be upheld because there -- because they believe there are some constitutional issues with it. two justices supported it on the liberal side. but then you had also had probably what will likely amount to five members of the benc

our guests are former seattle police chief norm stamper and radley balko, huffington post writer, authorthe forthcoming, "rise of the warrior cop: the militarization of america's police forces." >> i want to ask chief stamper, you say you have concerns about the use of these incendiary devices. of course, this is not the first time in a major high-profile police action that we have had these devices used and have raised controversy. 20 years ago this year in 1993 the fbi used incendiary devices to end their siege of the branch davidian compound in waco. at the time, authorities claimed the cult members intentionally burned down the compound rid i want to play a clip of cnn's live coverage from april 15, 1993 when that fire had just begun. >> engulfed the vast majority of this compound. >> the entire roof is gone. >> what else can you tell us? any sign of firefighting equipment? >> none whatsoever. there is our shot that we refer to as the farm-cam. that is looking from the north side into the compound. apparently, the north side is not involved yet, it appears the rest of the compound is
