kerry? >> all right. thanks, senator. the relation between the consumers and the companies that they deal with and not with their employers, but what i would say is that the use of that information by employers is reflective of one of the critical realities of where we are in the world of information today. that -- that there's so much information out there about people. and the ability to collect and to aggregate that information has gotten so extensive that -- that, you know, it is possible to learn things about people that constitute sensitive information. even, you know -- even though that sensitive information hasn't been put out there, you know, by itself. what i mean by having to take chairman leibowitz's example of somebody doing a search on health information, now we protect health information under hipaa. health care providers have to protect that, but you can find you know, by aggregating information, you can determine -- you can find out health information but you're not subject to those protections. so the ab

kerry. the playbook says, first, bolster the president's national security credentials. check. then paint the opponent as a member of the 1%, just like bush played kerry as an out-of-touch snowboarding, wind surfing elitist and combine the elitism with flip-flopping like the bushes did in 2004. >> kerry voted for the iraq away, opposed it, supported it, opposes it again. he voted for the $87 billion to support our troops before he voted against it. john kerry, whichever way the wind blows. chris: howard, it's the elitism. we're all against the elites and they have going after the cultural, social elites in nantucket and then you have this case of the 1 percenters with all their money. will it work again? >> i'm sure the obama headquarters in chicago has a lot of footage of various homes that mitt romney owns and various recreational activities. the basement.e of >> what impresses me about what the obama campaign is doing is that they're using the collective republican strategy playbook of th

senator kerry? >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> commissioner ohlhausen, ebay, hewlett-packard, intel, verizon, other industry leaders, support legislation that senator mccain and i have introduced. obviously these are all capable companies, and important to consumers, et cetera. you said there might be an unintended chilling effect. they don't see an unintended chilling effect. they've signed up. they think this is important. i do not have faith in the american consumer if they're given choices? that they can make those choices? and what's the -- what's the unintended chilling effect of the american consumer? >> thank you, senator kerry. you raid a very important issue. that's one of the things i want to the explore, as i said. i'm one month into my tenure and this is one thing i want to find out more about, but i do think there is the possibility that companies that are ready entrenched and have the data they need to create their products may not have the same concerns as a new company that may have a new product that

. >> thank you very much, senator kerry. i want to proceed now to our witnesses, and we'll have ample time for questioning and others will be -- members will be coming and leaving. let's start by preference of order, would be to start with the honorable john liebovitz, chairman of the federal trade commission, then honorable -- i'm going to skip over you to the guy who's general counsel to the department of commerce, who is somehow related to senator kerry. and then come back to you as a cleanup. is that all right? >> sure. >> so let's start with chairman liebowitz. >> thank you, chairman rockefeller. senator toomey, senator kerry, senator ayotte, i appreciate the opportunity to present testimony on consumer privacy alongside our newest commissioner as well as my friend cam kerry. the commission commends the recent privacy efforts by the dp of commerce as well as the bipartisan leadership your committee has shown on consumer privacy issues. though most of my remarks today will concern privacy policy and especially do not tra

run against john kerry. are you surprised at this study? >> i am shocked that there is media bias at nbc, abc, and cbs. we know it they did make it an issue in 2004 democrat. they will make it an issue in 2012 because romney is a republic. it's that simple. i'm sure it's unconscious at some level. democrat rich people are okay. republic rich people are bad. it's also frankly being compliant with the white house. the white house in 2004 was not making an issue of white house press corps and three big networks are happy to drive home the message. >> bill: they call you the architect, right, that's your nickname the architect because you are guru that gets people elected and i guess you do housing designs on the side. mr. architect to you. >> why didn't you make a deal out of theresa the heinz woman who has all that money we didn't you say to the conservative democrats listen this man doesn't know anything about you, he lives in nantucket. he lives in beacon hill, boston. is he a lavish spender. he has a lot of

as media research the study you cited 13 to 1 ratio of more coverage for romney's wealth than kerry's wealth. >> let's find out what ellen has to play. >> a, it is his wife. and b a picture in this media savvy world of ours is worth a few hundred words. all they had to do which is a picture of senator kerry on a surf board in nantucket. >> you are sayin saying if they hadn't done the wind surfing thing they wouldn't cover it. we agree. >> warren buffett supports his position on higher for the wealthy. same thing with john kerry even though he moored his boat to avoid prying higher values. >> the media research center a conservative leaning organization did a study of mentions of john kerry's wealth on the evening news. the big three evening news broadcasts back be in 2004. he got two mentions from cbs and abc. one each. nbc didn't mention it at all. contrast that with stories about mitt ronney's wealth he got mentioned 27 times. bill o'reilly asked david westin about it. >> i think many americans are worried about their economic situation. they are worried about their jobs, their hous

privacy alongside our newest commissioner as well as my friend cam kerry. the commission commends the recent privacy efforts by the department of commerce as well as the bipartisan leadership your committee has shown on consumer privacy issues. though most of my remarks today will concern privacy policy and especially do not track, the ftc is primarily an enforcement agency and commissioner ohlhausen will describe our recent enforcement efforts. mr. chairman, imagine a cash-strapped college student working part-time to keep up with tuition payments. to make ends meet, she applies online for a loan and obtains it at a favorable rate. but she also goes online because her father suffers from depression, so she wants to research symptoms and potential treatments. soon after, in the mail, she receives another loan offer. this time from a payday learn at a much higher rate. in the evening, she spends time relaxing by catching up with friends' posts on a social network. while online, she notices she's receiving ads for medication for stress and depression as well

the republicans did this to john kerry in 2004.graphical asset away from him, having volunteered for combat in vietnam. having been wounded in vietnam. having been awarded medals for valor, medals for his heroism in combat. they lied about him and some people, we don't know how many, but some people believed the lies about john kerry. and the morning after the 2004 election, when the final, very narrow margin of victory was calculated in the state of ohio, john kerry had to concede that presidential election and in effect concede to a lie. joel aarons is a former campaign operative. he and his anti-obama video have been praised by karl rove on twitter. we know what the republicans have learned about swiftboating. you can get away with a lie to some of the people, some of the time, and that just might be enough people to win you a presidential election, if they live in ohio. and now, the swiftboating of barack obama has begun and we're about to discover what the democrats have learn since john kerry had to concede to a lie. dude you

in that same period of 2004 they only discussed kerry's money twice.ill o'reilly rile sat down with the time news at that time. >> i am not responsible for the news now. i am only responsible of the news coverage i was back in kerry's time. in my recollection in 2004 is the biggest thing the country was facing was the war, iraq. interestingly, you remember this well, what happened during the election was they turned around the war record. they talk about this in the book. made it all sort of a riveferenm on his claim to be a hero. >> brit hume worked for abc news for 23 years. he we know the to be president of abc news after he left. here's his reaction to westin's he explanation. >> it is not surprising to me that john kerry's wealth and the way he lived did not get much coverage in 2004 just as the kennedy wealth hefr in unfavorable references when they were front and center. democrats in the money look different in the mainstream media than republicans do. there is always a taint that attaches to rich republicans that doesn't attach to rich liberals

he said, i think i would tax them, too. >> kerry knows the swift boat had a gasoline engine and blew a gasket and talked about our dependence on foreign oil. that's when he threw the whole engine overboard in order -- and ordered us to complete the mission on wind power. then of course it flip-flopped and made us put the tank back in. >> we happened upon two viet congress sold -- viet cong soldiers and thought it was an ambush. john kerry chased after them and he returned to the boat and said these men -- he -- these men are in love and conduct add gay marriage ceremony. chris: not too far from what they say. when we come back, a majority of american babies now are minorities. does our future as a non-white country promise a conservative backlash this year? scoops and predictions right out of the notebooks of these top reporters. >> we must take back our cities. and take back our culture. and take back our country. god bless you. and god bless america. chris: welcome back. patrick j. buchanan at the convention in 1992. didn't miss words. don't vote for change. vote to go back. well,

chairman. >> okay, thank you, senator kerry, senator demint? >> thank you mr. chairman, i think you made the bests point starting out is our jobs is to make sure that consumers are protected and we know the best way to do that is through lots of -- i think that's what we're all about. and i hope that's the way we look at it. my concern as i have expressed to a number of you, and there seems to be a sense to the content producers are somehow a government property, or a government service. i think you know they're not. they're private companies, private investment, private management. our job is to make sure that competition works, if there's enough choices to make the market work. sometimes i think we look at it as more of a public utility, it's our job not only to regulate it, but to manage it. and that's the sense i get sometimes with the decisions that are coming out of the fcc. pre-emptive regulation that solving problems that aren't there yet. that's what i want a chance to talk a little bit today. i think i have helped to usher most of you through this pro

>> thank you very much, chairman kerry and thank you to yosef and to the committee members for your interest in this topic. it's a great honor to have an opportunity to testify before you this morning. -- march 1973 at a conference that was hosted by the united states government. and the united states had been a very strong supporter of the implementation of cites before that time. as you know, cites regulates trade in around 5,000 species, to be sure such trade is legal, sustainable and traceable and there's a high volume of legal trade, which is a multibillion dollar business. but today we're here talking about another aspect of societies and that is tackling illegal trade in wildlife and this is a growing problem worldwide. the value of this illegal trade is now estimated at being anything between $5 billion and $20 billion per year. that excludes timber and marine resources. and the -- when you look at the published results of specific enforcement operations undertaken by organizations such as interpol and the world customs organization. and chair and committee members, it is very clear,

was dogged by these outrageous and misleading ads john kerry gave him for free. by many of my comrades in north in the prison camps torturing would say the more lies to us crimes committed on a day to day basis he betrayed us in the past how could we be loyal to him now. dishonored his country and more importantly the people each served with the just sold swift boat veterans for truth is responsible for the content of this advertising those are funded by the group swift boat veterans for truth a right wing organization that attempted to spin john kerry's military service his strongest suit against him he has are so effective they arguably cost kerry that election and introduced a new word into our american political lexicon swiftboating meaning to launch unfair or untrue political attacks and now as we're headed into the two thousand and twelve election one group is trying to swift boat president obama with this new ad trying to spin president obama's killing of osama bin ladin against him take a look. report i directed leon panetta i was briefed on the middle of

>> kerry, thanks. we want to bring in meteorologist paul goodloe from the weather channel headquarters. >> as kerry mentioned, this is now the second-named storm and hurricane season starts next friday. let's take a look at subtropical storm beryl. it's subtropical because we have more of a banding inside versus a clear center of rotation in terms of activity. we're dweting that, though, so we could see this form more tropical characteristics, but the bottom line, it continues to head on towards the northern florida, southern georgia coastline here, potentially around jacksonville late sunday evening and perhaps a slight strengthening in the wind. but this is really going to be a surf and a heavy rain maker. perhaps three to six inches of much needed rain across parts of florida and georgia and eventually it will turn towards south carolina and offshore as we head to the middle of next week. the other story we're dealing with is the dangerous heat here. we're talking temperatures from 10 to 20 degrees

the adds in 2004 attacked john kerry for his service in vietnam.ow the right may be trying to do the same thing against president obama. joining me now is chris hayes, and jonathan capehart. let me start with you. are you surprised they may try to swift boat the president on one of his greatest achievements. >> no, this is essentially how they operate, and i think this seems amateurish compared to the swift boat ad. this is a much more removed and abstract argument that he handled it afterwards poorly, but the fact that he was dead, killed by american special forces troops are established, and what people do with that information what they are, and that's going to dominate or overwhelm any attempts to spin it. >> jonathan, i facts are certainly different, and clearly their trying to go beyond the facts because they need to do this in order to win. i mean, when you hear the ads saying the navy seals will never get a parade or know their name, that's part of the understanding of being in the navy seals. to act like the president is not giving them cr

bush did not do that about john kerry in 2004. >> is that a difference? >> bush did do that to john kerry in 2004 we saw a lot of ads that question whether democrats would have been on the offensive. we saw that famous ad which now is a famous part of political lore, and, i think we are too quick to subscribe the afghanistan trip only to politics. not media was not focusing only on the campaign more americans would know we are at a pivotal point in afghanistan, and we are a month away from the nato meeting, and that trip happened on the same day where we had a new report detailing progress that was happening, and i think it is not fair to say the --. all there is true, no doubt the agreement is important, but it just so happens they took a pen and randomly stuck it on a calendar that happened to be the day that ben bin -- bin laden died and no awareness of that? that takes incredible4v naivete. >> going back to 2004, not only did the bush campaign do thepíu same thing, but, vice president cheney said if john kerry was elected we would be attacked. he said

senator john kerry. >> can you pull the mike a little closer? >> i'm deeply grateful for this response from the highest political levels in the united states of america and i'm honored to appear before this committee. i have actually appeared both in the '70s and '80s on this particular issue when the elephants were in peril. we are now again in that situation. what's happening to elephants is appalling, more so since we have been these ivory crises before and should have found solutions by now. quickly to summarize by points, in case i run out of time, escalating crisis in africa. it is driven by demand in china. the demand exceeded the supply. it creates security threats as well as impacts. much of the trading being led by organized crime which undermines good governments, peace stabilized security and causes the killing of elephants on a massive scale. urgent action is critical to stem this decline. the solutions are to increase funds and environmental guidance through programs managed by u.s. fish and wildlife service in the state department
