media matters took a look at the fec filings for mr. morris's superpac that were released last week, and they found something strange. check out dick morris's website again. if you get past the gun control nonsense, if you click through to dickmorris.com/advertisingand information, you can see there if you would like to send e-mails to the rarefied strata of america who are people who believe things that dick morris says, you can pay to newsmax.com between $10 and $35 for each thousand names to get access to and use the dick morris e-mail distribution list. it's got about a half million people on the list. the minimum order they say is the full list, which means it's wicked expensive to e-mail dick morris fans with whatever it is you want to e-mail them about. but if you look at the fec filings for dick morris's superpac that he was operating, the two largest expenditures in the weeks leading up to the election were a credit card processing company that was handling the logistics of people who wanted to give him money, and also newsmax.c

the ftc, the fec and other federal agencies want to be able to go to the providers the subpoenas to get this information. from our perspective, what they are asking for is a huge hole in the warrant requirement for civil investigations. it kind of turns the normal world upside down. the normal rules criminal investigations for them will give more access to law enforcement. they're looking at crimes that are very serious potentially like terrorism, drug crimes. they're looking at serious crimes. the investigative agencies are investigating something within their jurisdiction, serious issues with the context is not a criminal context. it's a civil context. so what they are asking for is kind of reverse. let me add one more thing. we are trying to avoid a world where the investigative agencies go first to the providers of communications service to the people to whom we are entrusting all of this very sensitive data, who we communicate with, what we said, what we thought, where we were. it is a much friendlier world for civil liberties that law-enforcement has to go to the target of this in

reid hastings had posted some information on his facebook page about developments at the company and the fec said you didn't disclose this property, should have been a press release or filing with the sec and raises new questions about social media and fair disclosure. >> tom: this is all about how technology is changing and regulations have a hard time susie keeping up with it. we see it with high frequency trading for instance and how companies disseminate information using social media getting it out argue me to more people faster than what a traditional press release or sec filing. so we'll have to see how this one plays out. that stock did not move much today on the notice although we did have plenty other movement. let's get going with our market focus here. as we saw the influence of apple that it can have on the broad market really continue today. the jobs data helped the s&p 500 start in the green but the early gains disappeared as apple shares sank. the index was able to climb positive in the afternoon to finish up a 0.03%. trading volume slowed. 605 million on the big board. 1.6 b

and they knew frankly the fec reports wouldn't come out until after the report. could all get exercised about it. whatever happened, happened. >> did whatever happened, happen? does the republican party see any blowback from this? this is the democratic senatorial campaign response. s it is not only wrong that the nrsc would provide funds to support a dangerous extremist like todd akin, it was underhanded and dishonest that they would purposely mislead the public about their actions. >> i think where they'll have to answer to it is in the bigger picture. and not surprisingly, i disagree with ann coulter on this one, even though she has been saying some rather sensical things of late. the war on women, and that was the biggest calculation i think that the republicans made. it actually really started with the whole incident around susan g. komen and the planned parenthood defunding where women started to see and hear a level of conversation about the importance of women's health and the politicization of women's health that they were very uncomfortable with. they c

microlending opportunities and crowd funding opportunities which is new basically angel investors with the fec reduced some of their limitations for businesses to get funding. >> juliet: this seems like no brainer ecommerce is the way it is. cyber monday shows that. >> it's growing but still frankly at low levels. probably online sales are only about 7% of total sales. they estimate mobile commerce could be about a trillion in revenues in 2016, 2017. so ecommerce is growing significantly. there is is a loft businesses that are still not online and don't have an online presence. >> that makes no sense to me. a lot of businesses that don't know that they can go and create a simple web site to get online so you can jump on your mobile guess. if you are out looking for a pizza shop you are most likely looking for it on your mobile device. if you are not online that's a customer you just lost. >> advertising as well as being able to take payments as little as 72 bucks per year you can have a site online designed and host it. >> juliet: cyber security is going to be a big thing as well. >> yes. we a

the fec, have you endorsed the cftc's approach? >> the commission hasn't made its proposal. we have been very much engaged with both the cftc and foreign regulators on how to approach so our concern is between a lot of jurisdictions at the cost of implementing the g20 commitment, and i think there is a real opportunity at this moment in time to find a way to strike the right balance and to bring the whole system to the right place because i think any one piece of it that doesn't come along or goes along too far can disrupt to the dynamic to the different jurisdictions have different ways of thinking about this. so if the europeans for example talk about mutual recognition instead of substituting compliance, with all that means is something that is a part of a dialogue, the devil is in the details. what does the substitute compliance been and where will you look? i think that is part of the work that we all have in the next few months but there has been part of this international dialogue to catalog conflict, overlap and consistencies so at least we know what we are talking a
