over 100 wells were drilled by the federal government within the npr a and then simply abandoned. e government simply walked away. the annual budget has for many years contain base funding of only $1 million for cleaning of these wells. the last two sites that were addressed costs the agency $2 million each to remediator to acceptable standards so at this pace it is going to take over 100 years to clean up this mess and interestingly if the federal government were a private company operating on state land the fines alone would exceed $8 billion. we all know the federal government is exempt from state regulation on its own land. the current situation is bad enough, the budget now proposes to take the state's share of future revenues that generated from the npr a to pay for the cost of the cleanup. in other words what is proposed here, the budget proposes to charge the state of alaska for the federal government's own mess for what they failed to clean up they are now asking of the state to step in and pick up. i need to be very plain today, this proposal in my view is that on a rival

then you have the npr white house reporter who chalked up the whole thing the law is confusing. i don't think judy is right at all. i don't think the media is taking this seriously. >> jon: some critics say the coverage leans more toward political partisanship. >> there certainly was. some people who are reporters who linda into past reporting such as chuck todd from nbc, reporters republicans that are not overreach because this would come back to haunt them. i was shocked when i heard them say that. >> jon: why? >> because he is supposed to be a reporter and not a commentary person. >> that is new one. >> jon: is it possible for republicans to look into this without appearing partisan? >> everything is partisan in washington. you would have to completely neutered, from another planet. these hearings are very useful. carried on fox and c-span. in the old days you had to rely on the three broad casts to put snippets but people can watch these clowns squirming after taking their oaths, it's very useful especially with the irs which nobody likes. >> jon: that is correct. we're goin

get our tax exempt status as well, so this is just pretty typical, and then you had scott horsley, the npr white house reporter, who just chalked the whole thing up to the law is just confusing. i don't think judy is right at all. i don't think the media is taking this seriously. >> some critics say the coverage leans more towards political partisanship than really uncovering wrongdoing. >> there certainly was. some people who are reporters leaned in to past reporting, such as chuck todd from nbc, who said well this -- reporters or republicans better not overreach because this would come back to haunt them. i was shocked when i heard him say that. >> why? >> because he's supposed to be a reporter not a commentary person. >> that's a new one. >> is it possible, cal, for republicans to look into this without appearing partisan or without maybe getting tagged with partisanship? >> everything is partisan in washington. i mean you'd have to be completely neutered, you would have to be, i don't know, from another planet not to be partisan. these hearings are very, very useful. carried on fox liv

he doesn't have the answers that the media asked him today and the npr asked him. had a lot of i don't knows from the attorney general. >> now the huffington post and washington post calling for holder to go. liberal to be sure and long tergoes on. what impact will it have on the justice department's credibly. >> i nom not saying he is go. but he is recuse himself and not investigate himself in the department of justice that he heads up and quite frankly, an investigation in the attorney general's action. there needs to be i don't want to say a special prosecutor, but somebody independent. i get leery when it happens on either sidine when i am on the side being a liberal, when somebody asked for somebody's head-on a platter. hold the head on the gull teen. we have a preassumption of innocencine when you are the attorney general of the united states. we need information but i don't think eric holder should investigate eric holder. i agree with anybody. but to say get rid of him, no. that knee jerk reaction is a problem. >> lowereta, is it a xee jerk reaction to say

i'm host of tech nation which airs on npr.org in its 20 for our streams and also on the npr channel on ex-im sirius radio. i am your moderator for this program this evening. tonight's program is being held in association with the commonwealth club's science technology forum, exploring visions of the future through science and technology. find is on the internet at commonwealthclub.org. or download our iphone and android app. for program and schedule information. now it is my pleasure to introduce today's dissing which guests, viktor mayer-schonberger, professor of internet or government and regulations at oxford university, and kenneth cukier, data editor for the economist. together to britain a new book, "big data: a revolution that will transform how we live, work, and think." i had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the professor earlier today for broadcast to be aired in the coming weeks. and i thought you should know a few other things about these fellows. professor viktor mayer-schonberger has more than one law degree, only one of which is from harvard. is not just a lawyer he

weaver that the for npr. [laughter] but unfortunately i think the reason we're so much in the cross hairs is the idea that journalism also is a liberal profession and if you what to say where does that come from is that it comes from our school. we've got that e-mail and james dickey showed up several times to do ambush interviews with people and that events like this. and we have spent on the bill already show many times so i am used to --. [laughter] ibm used to that part of the debate. but it is true that a general 10 or is super liberal but i can think of anyone i know on the columbia faculty who did not vote for obama twice. >> in different years that i hope. [laughter] that the dean of the business school was hired as the adviser to romney but those are the only to get everybody else part of what is going on is a little chronological as it is self reenforcing. a lot of the liberal universities as in any environment is not in on the argument but what do you will your eyes over or tell jokes over and assum

i don't know if any of you guys caught it this morning, but they were talking about the hero awards today on nprand they were talking about the achievements that are happening right here in san francisco and to be able to look out and see the faces of the people that are the heroes that work and live among us, and it really makes me proud and it really is what public service is about. and it is only exacerbated by the fact that we have city employees that have done such an outstanding job and it makes me proud and i am happy to see all of you and thank you for being here and welcome. >> i am here and pleased to present the certificates of honor on behalf of supervisor coen who is the supervisor in district ten which is the bay view and let me tell you a little bit about what we are celebrating so on september 30th, 6:49 p.m., eleven-year-old brown called 911 and requested an ambulance for his mother who was unconscious after being hit in the head by a falling object. >> the 911 call was answered by kim tua. i said it right. and during their call, kim provided medical instruction, assistance and

and appreciate the reaction to this just in that the revenues generated from the to element on the npr a come on the states, go to pay for the. if not that suggestion, we need to work together to figure how we prioritize in the budget the best way to move forward in a comprehensive way to deal with this issue that is, i share your concern. >> i guess i need to hear from you that you would agree that it's not the state of alaska's responsibility clean up the federal government to mess. are we in agreement there? >> i would say that the petroleum reserve up in alaska and as it's developed it will benefit both the federal government and the state, and so revenues from that development seem to be a reasonable source to help address the issue on the legacy wealth. so we can talk further on what that looks like, what a stay, what is federal and how do we do that and a constrained budget environment spent and i will allow you greater opportunity to learn more about this, hopefully see what we're dealing with he here. but there is no doubt in my mind that when the federal government comes in t

. >> do we have the npr sound? tucker, do we have it? i'm waiting for it. yeah, we've got it. listen to what eric holder said to npr when he was asked that question, how many, how often, right after the ap scandal broke but before the rosen scandal broke. >> i'm not sure how many of those cases that i have actually signed off on. i take them very seriously. i know that i have refused to sign a few, pushed a few back for modifications. >> i take them very seriously, so he wants us to believe that this is a big deal at the department of justice, and i had michael mukasey, the former attorney general, last week who said these are a big deal. i ad ma had andrew mccarthy, a r doj prosecutor, who prosecuted a bomber. when you go after reporter's phone records and mail, trust me, it's a big deal. i take him at his word, that it is a big deal. how can he turn around and say all right, i signed off on the rosen thing, but i didn't really remember that. when i was talking to congress and telling them that i have never been involved in potential criminal prosecution of a reporter? again,

. >> the npr ratio at dbs is stable. in china, it's -- frankly, i mentioned the business in china is very sir couple expect. we deal with a limited number of top end companies. we have a very textured portfolio for the most part is less than one year financing. a substantial portion of the cash back will tell you. and we make sure that the companies that redeem them are long-term winners. xhen taters have said that the nature of sovereign could be anything up to a trillion dollars. i don't have any view on that myself. it could be, but, you know, the thing to think about, though, is that, you know, the npos in china a decade ago were to the tune of $600 billion. and the 600 billion, the government redeemed that quite effectively, between passette management companies and ceo. so even if the number is 600 billion or ten billion of whatever it is, i think the chinese economy has available to deal with it. >> how worried are you about the hard landing in china or is the economy moving towards a more sustainable model of grow

. >> people are full of surprise and it's endly fascinating to see them representing the npr. >> within the documentary i am taking the road trip on a harley davidson. we got to go riding with those guys. i never felt more gloriously npr. sandra day oh, conor has this in common. chris dodd, former senator carries a copy. you would be surprised. >> we are all kong. >> he's thrilled wherever he is, i'm sure. >> i'm fats nated by the concept of the constitution and how the bikers and the leather necks out here view it and how similar it is to what we hear arguments made by folks who are tea partiers and part of the occupy. this document really has a fundamental to play and at times we look at and want to change it and refashion it as mike noted about the endless change we see with the american people. >> did you get a sense that people want to do that or take it as the bedrock it is. >> one of the things we found out is people believe in the constitution more than they know about it. as kong said in the clip, he is always bringing it out to say where does it say that. they believe the ro

and was really a conflict, the energy released by the conflict between them. good >> npr did a wonderful piece, and they use a wonderful line that the book is about conscientious people who cannot find their conscience. give me a sense of what the story is. >> the story emerges from the first chapter. wilson is a good president. he is a good reformer. the gunman is very agitated. the night before there has been a lynching. it is a different world from princeton. it is not about fart in geographical terms. pleaseasically saying, will you use your position against these horrible thing, and basically it woodrow wilson turns theort of proverbial blind eye. is nors them, but there measure in his heart. but it does not go anywhere. because of the hypocrisy, the plot falls from the. you learn later ron he is actually a black person. he is very light skinned, but the idea woodrow wilson has invited him into his home, and this racist person has embrace and now you find out the true background. it sets in motion a number of comic episode triggered the comedy of seeing hypocrites' o

to you today because david campos and i about a month and a half ago had a lovely conversation on npr, the forum and reached out to the community and voice of the unborn in our city of san francisco and for pregnant mothers who think 65% of women think that the only option that they have is an abortion. so i am coming to you to ask that we can continue the dialogue, going forward, as we work on this resolution >> excuse me, ma'am. >> yes, if we could stop the clock, there are some individuals here it speak on items that we have already passed. under our rules, you can talk about the general subject if you could not make references or advocate for a reference we have already considered. >> excellent, i guess i will just stick with my emphasis i would like to meet with the people that you recruited, david that we get together and continue our dialogue, seven people, two of which were 5 and 7 years old, speaking on the importance of us being a community of health and hope for the unborn and parents. my other request is that we could save the date for january 25th, this will be the 10th walk f

. >> i heard the news report on npr over the weekend that there were these increasing protests.they weren't able to find a place to bury limb. and fundamentally it struck me as wrong. because no matter what people do, we ought to bury them. >> mullen, a christian, began researching muslim burial traditions online and contacted local organizations and cemeteries in the hopes that someplace would be able to offer tsarnaev a final resting place. one of the places she contacted, the islamic services of virginia responded within the hour. announcing it could provide a plot, not because it especially wanted to. but because no one else would. >> it's not a political thing. it's more so, we have somebody that has passed away, he can't bury himself. somebody needed to take responsibility. we were able to do and that's what we did. >> and so, tamerlan tsarnaev lies here, bury thursday at an unmarked grave at the albarzaq cemetery in virginia. several demonstrators were there and quietly walked away. >> i guess i find it disturbing, they all did horrible things. but for some reason, we're

i've been tempted by the idea of creating a set community that's basically where npr staff accountabletalk about raking news. as part of that to tell them when they're doing a good job in doing some very good is not injurious. and so, it depends on the community. >> is a hard question to ask about sandy hook because there was a more detailed discussion about boston, but some journalists raised that make it very hard question of the course is going to be misinformation early in this worry and you talked about was there a second shooter, someone has been arrested and they haven't been arrested. this identification. doesn't really matter? ultimately it's a terrible, terrible tragedy. this 26 people dead yet that doesn't change. the rest of the speculation ultimately will go away. what is the real damage done when you have people are running amok on social media? >> well, one of the clear examples of that would be last wednesday with reports that went on for some time that suspects were in custody. even though people were staying closer to home at that point, it was in lockdown the same wh

the table. >> warner: but that same day, on npr, syria's vice minister of foreign affairs said the governmentld never agree to the demand that assad be ousted. >> the replacement of president assad means destruction of syria, means no international conference, and means support of terrorism. if this is the objective of the conference, then there will be no conference. >> warner: all of this comes amid signs of recent gains by the syrian army. this week, regime forces took control of a strategic town near the highway that links damascus with jordan. such advances put new pressure on the u.s. to assist the rebels militarily. but balanced against that is new evidence that both sides are committing atrocities. rebels say this amateur video shows 20 members of one family killed by government forces-- victims of mass executions in the town of baniyas. while this video shows rebels executing three syrian officers in apparent retaliation. all of which had president obama saying today that the way forward in syria is anything but clear. >> there's no magic formula for dealing with an extraordinarily v

a group calling themselves the syrian army has hit npr, cbs and the "associated press." twitter is under growing press to do something. you have run into this with your bank's website. occasionally, you have to put in a special number sent by text message that proves you are you. >>> in washington, the u.s. military spes luckily calling out china for the first time accusing the red army and the government there of full-scale hacking. we've known for a long time the chinese were a threat. the state department has said so. google was the first to accuse china specifically. the u.s. military has never pointed a direct finger at the country until now. other news, san jose's largest company, software company, adobe, says it will no longer sell software. it will be rented through the cloud. a subscription model that will help adobe users save money and make their earnings much less irregular. i don't buy music from itunes. i pay $9 a month to spotify. i can't think of the last time i bought a dvd. you can rent on demand. the idea of owning an object is a little old-fashioned i

ms nbc is virtually devoid of any of the ideas you just heard. npr is virtually the void. pbs is virtually devoid of it. not to mention the university's. we are very happy to debate. i have offered -- i would love to see a debate between paul krugman and the head of the cato institute for example. i think we should try to raise $100,000 for cancer research and for a debate of prominent conservative economists so as not to make it ego on the side or three on each side but they don't debate. they call us names. if you believe marriage should be between a man and woman you are called hater so who wants to debate haters? i would not debate the ku klux klan. that is how the left fields. if you are not on the left you are a hater, sexist, as in of coma, racist and bigoted. howard dean, former head of the democratic party, candidate for u.s. president said the republicans who go to bed at night not caring about the welfare of children. this is typical of how we are perceived and that is what sustains leftism because the right must be so awful i had better be on the left because i

joining me today, washington bureau chief of the the "huffington post," ryan grimm, npr white house correspondent, ary shapiro. national political reporter at the "washington post," nia malika henderson and former white house press secretary and msnbc contributor, a man who is probably psyched to not be at the mode yum these days, robert gibbs. >> that's the chyron now? >> totally psyched to not have to go to the briefing. >> when i was in the briefing room and somebody asked me a hard question as david gregory did to mitch mcconnell or as candy did to rand paul, that my eyes didn't get big like his did. >> do you have any proof and they were like -- no, but you always started with -- >> facts? >> let's be clear. >> let's be clear. >> give the air of validity. but going like this? when asked to follow-up? a sure sign of nothing being there. let's start, before we get to the a.p. stuff, which i'm sure many people, specifically ary will have lots to say on. i want it talk about this weekend and the indignation and the outrage that seems to be felt by republicans that they can't quite find the thing

the syrian electronic army has his npr, cbs and the associated press. they say, use only trusted letters and numbers in your password. move your website to a new address every few minutes and fire your i.t. person. >>> twitter recently sent out suggestions to the media to stop this. one of which is, that newsrooms only allow one computer in the entire building to access the twitter account that. was not an onion idea but serious. in in washington, the u.s. military calling out chai that nor the first time accusing the red army and government there of full-scale hacking. we've known the chinese were a threat. google was the first to specifically accuse them. the u.s. military has never pointed a direct finger at the country until today. >>> let's get a check of markets with seema mody. good morning. >>> hi, scott. features slightly higher after stocks traded in a very tight range on mon. the s&p 500 indx still managed to close out at a new record high, above the 1600 mark. the dow goes for 17 straight games on a tuesday today. that would be the first tim

followed by a discussion on the situation in syria. then, npr's peter sehgal joins us to talk about the new series he is hosting on the u.s. constitution and what it in the 21st century. "washington journal" live with your calls, tweets, and e-mails his next. host: president obama is back from his trip to mexico and costa rica but he hits the road again today out to ohio to make a convention speech at ohio university. congress will be returning tomorrow from a week-long break. on the senate side we will hear about the internet sales tax bill and immigration. hearingouse side, a big with the state department whistle-blowers. hopes that congress will hear more about the issue of guns. this brings us to our first question for you this morning

earlier a group calling itself syrian electronic army hit the onions twitter feed. it's also attacked npr, cbs, and most famously associated press. there's growing pressure on twitter to institute two-factor communication. you see this with the bank k, you have to enter a special number texted to you to prove it's you. the onion gives advice for online banking. it said, after checking your bank account, remember to log out, close the web browser, and then throw your computer in the ocean. back to you. >> sound advice. always look forward to that. i'm guessing you've used your pearly white smile to get out of a few traffic tickets now and then. >> officer, no way that wasn't me. >> when it comes to getting out of traffic tickets, guess what. police have heard it all. >> we now know which excuses they hear the most. >> here are the top five according to insurance.com. first, i couldn't see the sign telling me not to do it. how about, i'm lost and unfamiliar with the roads. or i didn't know it was broken. >> here is two more. everyone else was doing it. and also, i'm having an emergency situ

do you all remember the incident of the president at npr losing her job over an operation, we were an attempted group for this. i think the reason we are so much in the crosshairs is the idea that journalism also is the liberal profession and if we were to talk about where this influence comes from, this is the hypothesis of our school. so we have that e-mail that showed up at our school several times to do these kind of ambush interviews with people. things like that, the bill o'reilly show, i'm kind of used to things. i'm used to that part of the debate. >> it is a different year. >> yes. [laughter] >> the game of the business school. that is right. ultimately, the game of the law school. part of what is going on here is a little bit frustrating. part of a self enforcement technique. a lot of the liberalism of universities include communicating and what do you tell jokes over, things like that. sort of assuming that if you mention the name george w. bush, it is just like oh, no one says anything. what argument are you making exactly that george w. bush. you know, assuming that we ar

and that was him then telling the whole sordid story under oath. that was him. in npr last night and "the new york times," they were the first to report it but it looks like james comey will be tapped by president obama to lead the fbi. yes, that makes him the latest in a long list of republicans who this democratic president has appointed to high-ranking positions in his administration. there's former republican senator chuck hagel leading the defense department. and before chuck hagel, president obama kept on president bush's republican defense secretary, bob gates. former republican governor jon huntsman was brought on as the ambassador to china. former republican congressman john mchugh was brought on. ray lahood the president appointed to be his secretary of transportation. he put former republican congresswoman ann northrop in. former republican congressman jim leech he installed as head of the national endowment for the humanities. you might remember that president obama tried to nominate judd gregg to be commerce secretary but then judd gregg freaked out and ch

but michelle, let us not forget that the bush administration's dealing with reporters also came into question. npr reports three years ago, the justice department's inspector general found evidence that the fbi was getting phone records from the "washington post" and "the new york times" in the bush administration without following guidelines regarding reporters. i don't remember republicans or the right wing screaming when that came out. that seemed to be a collective case of republican laryngitis. >> yeah. it all depends on whose team you're batting for. who's in power at the time. this is is not an unusual practice. i think what's upset the a.p. in particular is the scope of what has been done here. the number of reporters and the amount of time. but that said, the republicans were, you know, very quick to step up and start making nixon, you know, the kind of nixon comparisons that we all get to hear every time somebody does something slightly, you know, questionable here. and it's just the scandal season. they're going to add this to the long list of other things that, you know, may or may not
