are backers of the media coalition that's right the groups that have supported pretty radical copyright protection measures out there things like mandatory censor where borders searches of all personal media devices even though they think the arizona is taking it too far and it goes through code and crazies are against it think that saying something. and here's the i thing on the cake of the daily callers thomas grier points out an article arizona has its own constitution that protects free speech maybe even better than the us constitution it says every person may freely speak write and publish on all subjects not only are they violating the first amendment but they're also violating their own state's constitution but they police state lawmakers have started noticing at the outcry they've actually decided not to send this bill to governor brewer for signature just yet now now they want to revise the language but still h.b. twenty five forty nine in its current form passed both houses of arizona's legislator and that alone earns a state tonight's bull's-eye reward. i got time for happy h

coalition of leading internet companies. most of the big internet platforms, social media companies -- >> host: including google. >> guest: it's a coalition that i run out of my law firm. >> host: also joining us here on "the communicators" is marc rotenberg, executive director of the electronic privacy information center. mr. rotenberg, what is your group's viewpoint on the new google privacy policy? >> guest: well, we opposed it. we think the right way to think about what google did is a change in the terms of service. in other words, before march 1st google had different terms of service for each of its products. if you were using e-mail, for example, it collected your personal information to provide an e-mail service. if you were using youtube, it collected your information to provide youtube is service. but google wanted to combine all of that user information from its different products, and so it has simply told users that as of march 1st the terms of service were going to change, it would combine all the data. it didn't give people a choice. they could essentially stop using google which i think for most people means s

so you had big coalitions both in the media and they made this their cause, and they turned it into amoment it gets out there on twitter and facebook, people go nuts for this stuff. it's really incredible. >> it is fascinating to watch. tim let me come back to you. is there anything that you can learn from the issues that do not succeed in generating this type of movement. the keystone pipeline didn't seem to generate the same sort of wave of public opposition even though the president at least temporarily delayed it there isn't seem to be the public outcry. >> yeah i think -- you may have missed -- there was a no kxl hashtag that was quite important, but that seemed to be more by traditional civil disobedience people going to jail and tweeting about that. rather than zeroing in on -- and i think the problem here too can keystone there is no readily identifiable brand that has an image to preserve. and that's why the susan g. koman stuff was so effective. the brand of that organization is in tattered now because of this social media pir raw that tank. and that's what every corporation

coalition. people on both sides of the issue. motorists, pedestrians, bicycles. i did participate in media event that david chiu held a week or so ago in advance of his introducing a resolution calling for a six streets program that would include enhance community education and enforcement, a target using data to target the most dangerous intersections and all modes of traffic. something we have been working on with the police department which is the development of a diversion program so that what our goal is to change behavior and have spoken very well to the behavior out there that is not acceptable. it is happening by all modes of traffic. we do not have traffic school for cyclists or pedestrians. we have been developing a program that would enable us to do just that and it is something we will be bringing back to the board in a couple of months. enforcement is part of the solution. so is design and education. we are trying to take a holistic approach and some of these things are recommendations that came out of the bicycle plan that we're getting to implementation. a few other notes. l

media. today's soldier has a mission who highlights those who have overlooked. bridge the gulf. the coalitione katrina. two years ago, these documentarans began to impact those who were affected by the hurricane. bridge the gulf gathered the testimonials of clean up-workers suffering with illnesses directly related to chemical exposure. the story of this woman, the wife of an oil worker and mother of six, who walked from new orleans to washington, d.c. to congress to clean up the gulf. and daniel nguyen workingç wit viatnamese fishermen. this month, bridge the gulf released its report "troubled waters." it pieces together a more complete picture of the material and emotional effects of the bp oil spill through the voices of those who lived it and are working to rebuild the coast. the data and stories reflected reflect a sobering reality. despite two years of promises, many people in the gulf coast continue to battle economic hardship and lingering health problems. bridge the gulf is now calling for federal and state governments to play more of a direct role in the ongoing recovery efforts. i

states is in the midst of a major rebalancing the alliances and coalition america built during the cold war no longer suffice. this is walter media today in the "wall street journal." he said in the emerging world order, the u.s. is likely to have more success in advancing its goebel agenda than many states. washington is hardly unique in wanting a world system of forcible rules of contract and protection of foreign investment -- the title of that piece is "the myth of america's decline." so we want to know. what is america's place in the world? is it in decline? is it in a new marketplace of ideas as the "new york times" said today? give us a call. we'll go right to michael on the independent line from new york city, new york. good morning, michael. caller: oh, good morning to you. happy holidays. host: happy holidays. guest: i reach -- caller: i teach in the graduate school of business and we have cities from all over the countries and i've been to china and russia and i'm thinking it's very funny, the impact of american movies and culture is being copied worldwide, you know, both in china and russia. certainly having meeting w

media that loves to trash our soldiers and marines. megyn: general allen said the behavior was inconsistent with the values of the u.s.-led coalitionghanistan. ryan crocker called the actions morally repugnant and defense secretary panetta says he strongly rejects the conduct depicted in the 2-year-old photographs. these are not prisoners. niece were suicide bombers. they were trying to kill our troops by blowing themselves up. the exploded bodies with which our troops are posing were exploded by the victims themselves. by the after beganies trying to take -- by the afghanis. it's not that we took lives and were cavalier about it. >> how would your viewers feel if a suicide bomber tried to blow them up and failed? i do not -- i do not condone what the troops did. it was wrong. but, megyn, by historical standard our soldiers and marines today are the best behaved in all of history. they are amazingly well behaved. the stresses of a decade of war. the reflex passion of our generals is to leap out and say our troops are so awful, they are so wicked, this isn't us. we have to respect afghan culture. general allen is not threatened by s

media has been painting. but we're going to the convention to try to make ron the nominee. as far as issues i think the republican party and the independents that it needs to produce a winning coalitionn the fall for a republican ticket i think transparency at the federal reserve. sound money and a real audit of the federal reserve is something that people from across the ideological spectrum can get behind the republican nominee and back no matter who that happens to be. >> jess oef, when we talk about the road ahead, i offer sometimes among close circles of associates a theory i have as far as the republican party. and i do think there is going to be some time spent on the psychologist's couch at the end of this year as far as the party deciding what direction it's going to go in. in a lot of ways i think ron paul has laid the seeds for a new sort of gop 2.0. i will quote as i often do the great chrysalis cillizza who sa paul is in a much stronger bargaining position than romney. paul matters more than gingrich. worth noting that two dozen active paul backers are running for house or senate seats. 200 are seeking local offices. there i think could be a ron paul movement that extend

coalition. he's dull as dish water. that's the negative side. >> foreign or domestic crisis into the equation and i don't think people will care about being entertained. >> also, after the median mccain for his election four years ago, good luck attacking romney for picking somebody that is too solid, too steady. >> it's another argument. >> you just wrote your column. >> on a personal note, rob is just a good guy. anybody that knows him, he's a good guy. he's a nice guy. that comes across. >> mark arubio is going to get a look. i don't think he's going to end up on the ticket but he's going to be attractive for a lot of reasons. sort of hispanic. they are going give him a look. i think they are going to go the other way. >> they will talk about arubio and try to get buzz for the hispanic folks, make it look like they are serious about it. they won't go with him. again, a guy that just got into the senate. he knows he's not ready yet. he saw what happened to sarah palin four years ago. this is a guy who is young enough that thinks he can be president in 2016. why blow himself up for romney in 2012. >> did we just write it again? you are done. >> how about nikki haley said, if
