right now it shows alcoa msn revenues but a side note i drove past alcoa, tennessee.he parking lot was full. so people are working there. it was interesting, while it is not a great economic barometer, it does do well. liz: good for you. we appreciate it. adam: some of the predictions we will go into an earnings season will actually see a rate of growth less than what we have seen in previous quarters. do you think alcoa beating on earnings is setting the pace for others to perform better than some of the guidance we have been getting? >> it is a good question. that is certainly the concern and we saw a huge number of pre-announcements coming in from the earnings season relative to the last couple of quarters so over the next couple of days because alcoa is the first big number to report, i wouldn't put too much weight in one data point but that is one of the things the market will be focused on during earnings season. liz: patrick has some names he brought with us as parting gifts. among them, jpmorgan and delta airlines. coming out with numbers soon, what are you ex

msn we're having a party. >> msnbc party is always a good time. i'm not just saying that because -- >> it's gopt the reputation. >> there's also private parties. people do private parties in mansions and a lot of celebrities don't want to go to these, they are partied out. >> it's not just tonight. we've been talking tonight about what this has become. this thing starts on friday night for a lot of people and the flight down. i'm seeing people on the plane who only come to washington, d.c. one time a year. >> twice, inaugustation and then maybe this. >> and depends on who is being inaugurated as well. >> this year there might be a little iffatigue because we jus had inauguration not that long ago. tonight, buzz feed is having their party during the dinner because they couldn't get a party space at the actual hotel. you have these kind of organizations going rogue as well. >> had there been instances in the past where people have left this thing and really been upset, annoyed, offended? >> yes, there clearly has been. i think the most famous is ste

about working at msn and msn money, as i said, we are moving forward and revitalizing the business.e are hiring, looking for writers, editors and web producers. if you are interested, let me know. you do not necessarily have to move to seattle. although i do highly recommend it. i would like to introduce the panel. on my right at the far left, we have fara warner, director of technology and entertainment group. she oversees strategy for a ton of brands. in the center we have chris o'brien, a technology reporter for the los angeles times and formerly of the hannas -- the san jose mercury in news. and closest to me is lee manages the partnership with youtube and is a trained lawyer, apparently thought better of it at some point. i want to start with lee, and if we do not think of youtube as a traditionally -- traditional network, i think we certainly recognize the power of youtube. viral, and to go then for a viral video to action drive the new cycle, just look at what happened last week with the basketball coach at rutgers. iat is all i saw on tv when sneaked out for lunch a couple o

an article on msn money that talked about it and the headline "why microsoft shouldn't consider buyinghat it's off the table and not a consideration pushes it back. the other thing surrounding it is the fcc and companies may use social media for announcements if investors are actually alerted. that's interesting development from the fcc and facebook and twitter and the like. >> okay. so maybe microsoft will not buy netflix as rumored so they are down, and potentially microsoft is up this morning. nicole, thank you very much indeed. congresswoman ma maloney pushesa bill to force gun ordinary persons to pie liability insurance or pay a $10,000 fine. the judge is here. this reminds me of obamacare. >> it does. >> you don't have insurance policy, you get a fine. >> remember the hook on which the court hung the hat to justify it under the constitution. it's not a fine or a punishment, but a tax. the taxing power of the congress in the court's view under the constitution is without limitation. the congress can tax anything it wants. would this be a tax? i don't know how you can characterize

msn is simple proposition that criminals and the dangerously mentally ill shouldn't have guns.i know anyone who disagrees with that promise from either political party or whatever folks use an ip on broader gun rights issues. if we start with the notion that dangerous criminals and dangerously mentally ill people shouldn't have guns, the question is how we should accomplish that? background checks are not a cure-all, but they can be helpful. from 1999 to 2009, 1.8 million gun sales are bought by the current background check system because people were not qualified to own a gun. i support them now. the year to exist for the purchase of guns from licensed dealers. in pennsylvania they account for all purchases. but i measure will do is expand background checks to purchases of firearms at gun shows and over the internet. it would not require a record-keeping by the citizen. the national clout we have had pennsylvania's experience have done nothing to restrict the lawful ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens and neither will our amendment. the worries they are sometimes about b
