melissa: on both sides? >> on both sides they have the legalese and wording of the specific justification that gave the nsa access to that data. and from the company's side, i think that they're starting to realize that they might have thought that data was not, you know, very big in terms of privacy violations but, in the context of collecting all that data from different companies, pro providers, nsa can build a really good profile on people. melissa: charlie you have a keen nose for bs. do you have a smell of bs at this meeting. >> these are all his supporters. melissa: that's a great point. >> eric schmidt is great obama supporter. zuckerberg holds fund-raisers in facebook offices for the president. to say we need a big meeting to voice our outrage is absurd. one way to voice outrage, not give him anymore money or break his chops at facebook headquarters, at google's headquarters with his hat passing around. >> they're not talking about any of this they're talking about their brackets. that is what they

melissa: no. that is the biggest criticism so far that you're hearing all over the place, it is malaysian authorities who are really confusing this issue and making it tougher. do you agree with that. >> no, absolutely. when they say they have a radar track may show them turning around. you have a radar track. it either shows them turning around or it does not show them turning around. we need folks in there that can identify what is on the radar track so we can tell the search and rescue folks, here is the area you need to look at than basically that part of the globe. melissa: that is compelling. the scott, thank you for coming on. we have breaking news. nicole petallides on floor of new york stock exchange. >> we're right here, melissa. the crowd is trading right behind me. you can see it forming there. it was halt ad short time ago. shares were down half a percent. news pending so we're waiting to hear what the news may be on this one. they have been working on a pneumonia vaccine. i'm sure it

melissa: no. >> and -- melissa: it is not. do we want to apply any sort of economic pressure, do you think? >> only if necessary. we want to use economic pressure if diplomacy fails. right now the reason why the price of oil is higher, the german stock market is down by 3.5% is because of concerns that such sanctions would boost energy costs by enough to damage real economic activity. melissa: without question and to me it seems like, brian, the long-run move here is to develop even more natural gas we can export as lng or maybe we export our own technology and partner with people in europe to develop natural gas. the real power russia has is their natural resources. you think we can take that away from a market perspective? >> well you are concerned about higher energy prices especially the winter we just had. when i hear what judy said and former ambassador this would be prolonged. how will it impact my investments told to be overweight europe because europe is been improving but is a major risk to that investment thesis. yo
