what do you mean you created the "huffington post"? >> guest: i thought i would leave it as a little secret between arianna and me. >> host: you put it out there. >> guest: arianna came to me after the 2004 election cycle and asked me to come up for an idea of a website. i had worked we are after i met dredge as her lowly worker and i credit her from being a slacker to a workaholic and one day i walked into the office she's now a liberal. i'm not sure how that happened. and one day i walked in the office and i pulled the rip cord and i was no longer in her life except seeing her at cocktails from time to time. five years later, she comes up to me after the election and says do you have an idea for a website. we come up with the "huffington post." we launch it in may. i've been working with her since december, about six months into it. a month into it, i realized i got to get out of here. i don't think i can hang out with all these lefties. they don't like me. the idea behind it for me is more voices, not less. i don't care if rachel ma

we come up with the huffington post. launch it in may, worked since december and a month in i realized i have to get out of here. i can't hang out with the lefties. they don't like me. the idea for me is more voices, not less. i don't care if rachel meadow and keith are blabbering against conservatives. they want me kicked off of abc news, and they got me kicked off on election night. i don't care. more voice is not less. i said at the time, this is great for you. you are the queen of the left wing blogs, and my side has the best content in the entire world, talk radio will be all over your hollywood friends talking about how bush is equal to hitler. it was a win-win proposition. i stand by it. it was some of my signature put into that. i thought this is a win-win situation, and i still agree about it. she made tens of millions of dollars, and i made the seed money that allowed for me to start my breitbart.com, the flag ship of my new media operation and i take what money i make from one site to create a new site. i'm a

why is it that ari anna huffington gets $315 million for the "huffington post" for creating a liberalersion -- a liberal blog site that is a reflection of what already exists in the media yet nobody is knocking down my doors when i created the "huffington post." there's no money to be on the right. i am not doing this for money. i'm doing this because i want to change culture. i really do want to save the world. >> host: you just cannot say you created the "huffington post" and leave it out there and explain it. >> guest: i thought i would leave it between a little secret between airizonir -- ari anna p to me and ask for a an idea for a wet. i met her as her lowly researcher. i will credit her from taking me from a slacker to a workaholic, okay? i give her credit for that. but one day i walked in the office she's now a liberal. i'm not sure how that happened and one day i walked into the office and i pulled the rip cord and i was no longer in her life except seeing her at cocktail parties five years. and she came up to me and said do you have a website and i've been working with her a

back to a domestic level i think you know what i wrote my piece on the huffington post is look we've still been long may be gone we still have many people targeting us here in this country and yet we still have this thing called the terror gap. anybody who don't are terror watch list to go and purchase an assault weapon explosives in fact senator frank lautenberg released a report that showed in two thousand and ten two hundred forty seven times when those in the on the terrorism watch list tried to buy guns were explosives they successfully did out of two seventy two that will give you your ninety ninety one percent success rate and they also showed i think was the number was fourteen hundred fifty three times between what was it february of two thousand and four and december of two thousand and ten same thing ninety one percent clips another in every ten guys are successfully getting weapons that can kill people in the right way and not only that we've had a number of terror incidents in this country since nine eleven and most of them have been christian americans shooting at other

so like everyone else i will probably just go to the huffington post party. the huffington post party is asking people to go to other parties first and just steal food and drinks and bring it from there. don't get me wrong, i love arianna huffington. especially her voice. she sounds like a woman who would be sitting up in bed with a sheet wrapped around her as james bond is walking out the door. will i see you again, james? and the afterparty is going to be crazy. i mean it won't be good, andrew brightbart's heart but it will be crazy. i met james o'keefe last night. i think it was james o'keefe. it might just be a regular -- how wild can a party get when it is held in accordance with sheridaia law? it's what i was told. this is the year of sweeping changes happening, tv news. katie couric announced she is leaving cbs. she was known best for asking those tough questions like name and newspaper. years of questions and she will be remembered for the one that could have doubled as a category on the family feud. follow-up questions, name something you keep in you

like everyone else, i probably just go to the "huffington post" party.fington post parties are asking people to go to other parties first and just steal food and drinks and bring it from there. [ applause ] don't get me wrong, i love arianna huffington, especially her voice, she sounds like a woman who would be sitting up in bed with a sheet wrapped around her as james bond is walking out the door. will i see you again, james? andrew breitbart's after party is going to be crazy. it won't be good but it will be crazy. i actually met james o'keefe last night, at least i think it was james o'keefe. it may have just been a regular pimp who hated organized labor. npr is having a party but i'm sure it will be pretty sedate. how wild can party get when it's held in accordance with sharia law? it's what i was told. this has been a year of sweeping changes happening, tv news. katie couric announced she is leaving cbs. katie was known best for asking the tough questions like, name a newspaper. the years of hard hitting questions and she's going to be remembered fo

me now is howard fineman mbz analyst and fineman msnbc analyst and editorial director of "the huffington post." >> hi lawrence. >> you know george w. bush as well as any journalist could possibly know him. what do you make of him declining the invitation to come to ground zero? >> first of all on a personal basis, i think it's true. he's largely stayed out of the political spotlight. i have to say having covered his entire presidency this was a guy at best had a very mixed attitude towards politics and towards the limelight. you have to give him some credit or at least some understanding for that. but beyond that, talking to republicans and democrats you get two very different views. republicans i talked to said, hey, he doesn't really think it's a great idea to validate what the president is going to do by way of a victory lap up there by way of expressing the fact that he had gotten osama bin laden. you talk to democrats and what they say is george w. bush doesn't want to be there because he didn't catch osama bin laden. and because after having said initially that he wanted osama bin laden

. >> my explanation, maybe its influenced by the fact i'm totally online with the huffington post. barack obama was the first viral candidate and president. if he's not out feeding the beast all the time he loses his platform. he has 18 million face wook -- facebook friends. >> who doesn't? chris: kelly, does this mean future presidents are going to have to be, just like kennedy and reagan -- are all future presidents going to have to be 24/7 types? >> they will have to do things that barack obama broke through, being a sitting president on a comedy talk show. we hadn't seen that before. but if you're not good at it they won't do it. chris: can we elect someone who's not good at it? >> he's good at it and his youthfulness plays into it. chris: we're comfortable with aim -- him as a debonair light manner. >> for everybody who says he's exposed too much, there are others who say he needs to get out there much because he's his own best picture. we were living in a 24/7 news environment and how are you going to react? do you come out with number one, the president on this or a surrogat

so like everyone else, i'll just go to the huffington post party. post" party is asking everyone else to go to the other parties first to steal food and drinks and bring it from there. i love arianna huffington, especially her voice. she sounds like a woman sitting up in bed with a sheet wrapped around her as james bond is walking out the door. would i steal a gun, james? this is a year of sweeping changes happening in tv news. katie couric is leaving cbs. she was known best for asking those tough questions, like, name a newspaper. katie is one of the many departures we have seen. juan williams was fired after saying "muslims make him nervous." he is the least likely man to get a cab in new york city. msnbc's keith old olbermann was suspended from his show. still the punishment seemed harsh compared to the slap on the wrist larry king gave after giving a buffalo campaign to the campaign of chester arthur. cnn replaced larry king with piers morgan this year like the old expression out with the old, in with the who. rick sanchez, you are gone but forg

with us today, the huffington post howard fineman. the bbc's katty kay. msnbc's norah o'donnell and time magazine's michael duffy. president alabama stuck with gas prices, a housing market and a jobs outlook that wobet won't be a big selling point a year from now. but the republicans are helping obama. every one of the top candidates comes with a potentially huge flaw. we're putting them in two groups. first the political liabilities that could be deal breakers. with the republican base. romney has romney care. tim pawlenty, cap and trade. mitch daniels, governor of indiana, supported some tax increases. and john huntsman has, too. he was president obama's ambassador to china and been pro gay rights. then there is the list of likely candidates with big personal history flaws. trouble with independents as well as with the g.o.p. base. newt gingrich, on his third marriage. mitch daniels whose wife divorced him, left him with their in our daughters and then returned three years later and then they remarried. and of course donald trump. howard, this is a stra

"the huffington post" has used facebook and integrated very deeply.th and more engagement. the other industries like the gaming industry. 200 million people play games on facebook. that is more people than play games on the different platforms combined. we are technology and we're social. when you actually combine those things and design for a social industry and for a social experience, it is extremely powerful. if i was in this audience, i how i would engage my readers from the beginning and take them all the way through the end. the more social the experience, the faster the growth. if you will be technology or social? social by design, what does that look like for each industry? >> and u.s. that question 4:00 p.m. your time. >> that is right. >> i want to ask a couple of questions about what scares you about the future of facebook. i want to post two possibilities. when you said that the fastest growing audience on facebook is over 65, my children did not like that at all. they felt it was going in a different direction that they did not want. of

people right now for the huffington posts are getting something like $15. the market has really degraded from even their, and it is very difficult to make money doing that. i have friends who are doing it, who are writing 10 stories a day just to get by. at the same time, the proliferation does make it very difficult for one small site to exist, right? our strategy in the old days was to align ourselves with a big media company -- cbs. we align ourselves with yahoo! in some way and with ail -- aol in another way. you need the types of connections with more established or at least larger players in order to survive. the other reason is that the proliferation of sites has caused a change in the way people get their news. no longer do they just go to what we call destination sites, which was essentially a newspaper online. they are getting their news on facebook and google and bing and search engines. to be out there in that news sphere, you have to have different ways of attacking a and having connections and distribution arrangements. >> i would like to add

people right now for the huffington posts are getting something like $15. the market has really degraded from even their

now last december huffington post investigation looked at kaplan university which we spoke about here on this show and the investigation details guerilla registration tactics were students often are rolled in classes without their knowledge their emails or happened by advisors who then use their passwords to do so and then all come the bills now many people see the washington post involvement in the for profit colleges the big concern and i'm guessing that these master classes just my add more shame to the once famed washington post mate but since newspapers are dying anyway we thought of the post should add a few new courses while they're still around how about columnist mark thiessen he could teach an online course called waterboarding for this would be easy class for him to teach in his book courting disaster he made the case for the us government to use enhanced interrogation techniques hey maybe he even teach you how to perform some of that then again maybe the post should have columnist charles krauthammer teach a course on how to make bombs not france i mean really how many tim

like everyone else, i will probably just go to the huffington post party.the deposed party is asking other people to go to other parties first, still food and drinks, and bring it there. -- steal food and drinks, and bring it there. i love auriana huffington. she sounds like a woman who should be sitting up in bed with a sheet wrapped -- with the sheet wrapped around her while james bond lost to the door. andrew breitbart's after party will be crazy. it will not be good, but it will be crazy. i met james o'keefe st night. i thought it was them, but it may have been a regular pap to disliked organized labor. hal wildcat a party be when it is held in accordance to shariah law? this is the year o sweeping changes happening. katie couric and now shes leaving cbs. she was known best for asking tough questions like, "name a newspaper." years of hard-hitting questions and she will be known for a woman who doubles as a cat -- a category on family feud. follow-up question -- name something you keep in your attic. [laughter] katie is one of the many departures will s

attention but now these kind of saying i may run for office i mean i just saw a report in the huffington post that his original business partners had mob ties yes that's something that is a big investigative piece that's now out there i mean when you look at his guy's history his marriages his behavioral problems i mean you get kicked out of high school basically because he couldn't because because he had behavioral problems i think there's going to a lot of other things you know he's now open this door to looking into this guy's a very very demented life and you know i think the media's going to have a field day alex what is what is the upside for for trump and doing this is it just just the ultimate ego. you know i mean the end of his program he's just kind of you know the gallery of it all ok getting all of the attention because this may be the last time that he really can do it is it just maybe just a very victory lap there is no there is virtually no downside for him i mean the reality is what could happen to him i you know he's not widely respected as a businessman he's he does not have

their takes on this issue richard asco former wall street executive and a contributor to the huffington post alter net and the campaign for america's future and bart naylor financial policy analyst and expert explicitly expert and analyst for public citizen welcome gentlemen to you both. great to see. you are richard i gardened you are part of i'm sorry thank you thank you very much for. first of all how much how much powers this agency have with the agency does enjoy the potential for arresting the kind of problems that got us into the inflation of the housing bubble but whose rupture caused the crash and the thrashing of the global economy that we're still recovering from and as we speak so and richard to what extent do you believe that battle that it will actually work that you know is the mechanism there and and i've heard talk that there are republicans in congress are talking about defunding is that a possibility well you know you could hear republicans talk this is the most powerful super agency ever created actually it was watered down quite a bit last year in the bank reform negotia

media targets i was thinking about "the washington post," politico, the hill, roll call or the huffington poste e-mails. "usa today" also wrote about this approach after he and another person on the staff tried to pedal the anti-google material. dan lyons reported in "the daily beast," the secretive client is facebook. plain dirty fool from a rival company. good for the journalist who exposed him. it won't happen again. after the break, now we learn that it was pouring at the osama bin laden compound. so i take one a day men's 50+ advantage. it's the only complete multivitamin with ginkgo to support memory and concentration. plus it supports heart health. [ bat cracks ] that's a hit. one a day men's. and all we need to do is change the way we're thinking about them. a couple decades ago, we didn't even realize just how much natural gas was trapped in rocks thousands of feet below us. technology has made it possible to safely unlock this cleanly burning natural gas. this deposits can provide us with fuel for a hundred years, providing energy security and economic growth all across this country.
