but we are standing with democrat tim johnson because he is fighting for economic interests.is fighting for our families against the corporations. that was honestly a moment in my political thinking. the way to win open-minded people like yourself. the way to win is to specifically be on old economic populism. my guess is that why your last part is we need a republican in the white house, it sounds to me like you are actually looking for someone to announce issues you believe in. that is what hillary clinton needs to speak to. they need and elizabeth warren message that appeals across the country. host: adam green was part of moveon.org. victoria from organ, good morning. welcome to the program. caller: i just wonder why the income tax on social security taxes is not more in the forefront? that would be something that would help the trust fund. my husband is a retired cpa with an mba in taxation. before everybody in the country had an mba. basically, he has been talking about this for years. how it is so unfair. the average person i talked to is not aware of this. host: thank

this comes a day after billionaire new york jets owner woody johnson singled his own support for bush. timmiller signaled that he too, will be joining the pro-bush team as his likely communications director. joining me now is a political reporter nick con. >> i think there are a sense of people who were with him and still are that he has much less time to get in. we have ten months until the first primary. it is only february. oh, my god. who is rushing? in fact, there's a finite number of talented staff and the really biggest donors and bundlers who have experienced raising 2 million, 5 million for a campaign. >> the woody johnson defection seems like a really big deal. >> woody johnson is one of the three or four biggest gets in the new york city area, which is one of biggest areas in the country for raising money. >> he is one of the 16 biggest. >> he's a really big whale. to land him is a really big deal on the jeb bush side. there are many who are yet to be untapped. i do not think jeb bush has a commanding presence. he hasn't locked up the whole world here. >> but there's momentum. m

johnson's life. >> that was quite a speech. i've seen tim cook speak quite a lot. parts of the speech were similar lines he used at the goldman sachs technology conference. that was the best i've ever seen tim cook speak. really powerful, in speaking to his own personal experience, and how perhaps why that motivates apple. i'm just seeing some of the context. when he talks about apple not using the data they are gathering not keeping it or knowing it, and not minding it or interest in. it's counter to the way a lot of companies in silicon valley or purging data, when they look at the acquisition of data as a way to know what they want saying we are getting close to customers and find out what they want. you can hear that as a shot against google. google has the google wallet, and the google android phone. google is mining customers e-mails to look at the things that people talk about target advertising to them. when tim cook comes up that we don't do that and we think that's damaging to the way the people live their lives, threatening even to their lives, it's a ve

johnson. here's a check of your bloomberg top headlines. >> apple electric vehicle might look at the minivan, should toyota worry about is prius? tim used to cover the auto industry, now he is an m.i.t. industry professor. >> you see the technology doing very sites mapping, it was involving google car, it is a different set of techniques and skills from detroit's automaking industry. cory: i saw your byline, tim higgins came from detroit -- any similarities between the companies? >> auto industry churns through cash. >> cost a billion dollars credit new car? >> it is expensive time-consuming process. apple has a lot of money in the bank, they have global operations -- they are use to retail networks all over the world. now, that said, designing and building cars is very complicated -- something that trips up even experienced automakers with marketing hitting up what the consumer wants. it is a long lead time for developing a car. >> they spend boatloads of money in r&d which is container ships full of money. the history, the knowledge they have built up -- is it abn accumulation? >> when you talk to engineers out in silicon valley,

johnson has been attending the summit all day and joins us now from stanford university. cory? >> it has been a very interesting gathering. the crowds have been interesting. perhaps nothing more interesting than what tim cook, the ceo of apple, one of the most interesting companies in the world -- when he addressed the crowd, he talked about these issues of cyber security privacy, the government's relationship with privacy and what privacy means for us as american citizens as he sees it. listen to what he had to say. >> at apple, we start with a very simple premise. our customers trust mean everything to us. we spent decades working to earn that trust. that is what privacy and security are built into every one of our products and services from their inception. we have strict policies that govern how all data is handled. our networks and systems are segmented, our hardware and software use encryption. we have a security operations team monitoring our infrastructure 24/7. beyond that, we have a straightforward business model that is based on selling the best products and services in the world. not on selling your personal data.

johnson from the school of journalism and media arts. >> holler. >> so i was curious and i wanted to know that being as how successful mr. tim scott is now, in his bio i was surprised that i read he is more accustomed to failure than he is success and i want to know who or what was your biggest encouragement to change your life and fix yourself? >> thank you ma'am. good question. ly tell you that myuyou -- i will tell you that my inspiration in life is my faith. that makes me who and what i am. and second the most important person that helped make me who i am was my momma. i grew up in a time when sometimes your mom had to express herself. i'm not sure if you are old enough to know what i mean by express yourself. we had a tough time. i will tell you though, you and i were talking earlier and i thought something that was very important for all of you here, especially students. have you heard that old saying -- bird of a feather -- >> flock together. >> one of the challenges i had in school was that i was hanging out with the wrong kids. anybody like that? anybody that can share that story. and hanging out with the wrong kids
