the way that it should be. in december, an investigation by "wall street "wall street journal" 101 popular apps found that 47 of those apps, 47 transmitted the third party location to companies and most did this without user's consent. three weeks ago researchers discovered that iphones and ipads running apple's latest operating system gathered information about user's location, locations up to 100 times a day and storing that information on the phone or tablet and copying it to every computer that the device is sinked to. after that, the american public learned both iphones and android phones automatically collected information from users phones and sent it back to apple and google even when people were not using location applications. in each of the cases, the users had no idea what was happening, and in many cases, once users learned about it, they had no way to stop it. these breaches of privacy have real consequences for real people. a justice department report based on 2006 data shows each year over 26,000 adults are stocked but the use of gps devices including gps devices on mobile phones, that's from 20

the "wall street journal" editorialized on tuesday the following. i'll put it up on the screen. "mr. gingrich chose to throw his former allies in the house not so much under the bus as off the grand canyon rim. our guess is that politician as experienced as mr. gingrich knew exactly what he was doing and that as he runs for president, he wants to appear to be more moderate than he has sounded over the last 20 years by suddenly triangulating against the gop house he once led." the thought is he did know what he was doing because what he said out loud is what republicans i've spoken to have said privately. they're scared to death about the politics you're proposing. they think it's handing a huge issue to the democrats. >> look, of course people are scared of entitlement reform because every time you put entitlement reform out there, the other party uses it as a political weapon against you. look, both parties have done this to each other. here's the problem, david, if we don't get serious about these issues, if we don't get serious about the drivers of our debt, we're going to ha

>> i give you two quotes from the "wall street journal" piece. the grave danger he sees is politicians might give the government authority to borrow beyond the current limit of $14.3 trillion without any controls, controls spending. willing to accept temporary delay on interest payment he is owed on the treasury bonds if the result is a washington deal to restrain run-away entitlement cost. >> you know what? if you get rid of. >> that was soros. >> on our debt, if you get rid of the spending for two wars unpaid for and tax breaks for the wealthy americans -- >> chris: you want us to pull out of iraq and afghanistan? >> i do. you would then draw, you would draw our responsibilities down -- >> chris: not going to happen by august 2. even president obama is against that. >> i think the responsible thing is you raise the debt limit and we work on the plan that gets us out of iraq, out of afghanistan. >> chris: i can see congressman is going -- the republican majority in your house won't say that. >> we had a vote on spending in afghanistan. >> we have

"the wall street journal" reported that the team behind general petraeus is proposing withdrawing 5,000 now and 5,000 at the end of the year. it's the opening bid, if you will, that the military is putting forth as far as what is an appropriate withdrawal. interesting because when you ask the military what kind of withdrawal needs to start in july, they say the 30,000 surge troops. ask the white house and they say it's the total package. so we're already seeing that divide about how quickly the drawdown needs to happen. >> how much pressure do you think they're beginning to feel at the white house or the pentagon about growing evidence that there is war weariness, and why can't we jut draw down significantly more than 10,000? gwen: if i can piggy back on that for you, david, there's a lot of questions raised in congress about what our involvement is in pakistan especially when it comes to money. >> well, the u.s. military answers that we can't leave that backing -- that vacuum there. we've seen historically what happens in afghanistan when it is a vacuum. what if it becomes a proxy war?

i want to read something the "wall street journal" wrote. ve a big speech this week about why romney care in massachusetts is different from obama care for the nation. and right before he gave it, here's what the "wall street journal" wrote -- the debate over bombcare and the larger entitlement state may be the central question of the 2012 election. on that question, mr. romney is compromised and not credible. if he does not change his message, he might as well try to knock off joe biden and get on the obama ticket." >> tough. >> yeah. "wall street journal"! this is not good news for romney. then after his speech said, no, it didn't really satisfy us. so there's a back-and-forth, as you might imagine between romney and the "wall street journal." but is he -- he may well be electable but let's start, is he nominatable? >> well, he already has met his quota of flip-flops in the past. he couldn't do it again on the health reform, his reform in massachusetts. and he really believes that the individual mandate is important. but for conservatives i

and the latest barrage that occurred last saturday in the "wall street journal" interview with c. larry pope, c.e.o. of smithfield food. and in this article, there's a lot of misstatements about ethanol and about ethanol causing the price of food to rise dramatically. and i take the floor now to rebut some of those misstatements and also to set the record straight so that when a very fine c.e.o. like mr. po mr. pope, even though i disagree with him on this article, he is a decent person and he is a good corporate executive. but so next time he speaks, he won't speak. but i can also say that -- that i don't like to have confrontations with smithfield food because they do provide a lot of good-paying jobs in the middle west and they do do a good job of -- of adding value to agriculture and things of that nature. but there's been a tradition within smithfields to kind of not really appreciate american agriculture and it goes back to some conversations i had with the previous c.e.o. by the name of joe leuter. and i remember joe leuter coming my office to tell me some thin things -- try
