terrorists. they come through the border checkpoints as much as they cross in the middle of a desert. so what do we do? that s the question. we shouldn t just act as if and pretend that putting up a wall is going to solve the problem when people who are really smart and understand how border security works say that that s not the solution. i agree that i agree we ought to have a serious effort to make sure we have border security. we ought to get it right and not just pretend because the president gave a speech during a campaign and said we re going to build a wall and mexico is going to pay for it. bill: he won that election. so did i. bill: i get it, you have a vote as well here and in congress. sarah sanders yesterday told us on this program they may go find the money somewhere else. we ll see what creativity comes out of washington on that. i want to get you on one more
bill: another black eye for facebook. another privacy scandal. facebook offered users a privacy wall for the consumer and allowed big companies like amazon and netflix to go around it giving them wide open access to your personal information. back with our a-team tim carney, mac lotter, mo elleithee here on set. nice to see you fellows once again. what s not for sale at facebook? they make a very interesting distinction. they promised we don t sell your information. what happened here according to the times is something different. they shared the information because they saw mutual benefit. in other words, letting amazon or yahoo use your information on facebook helped facebook grow its network, grow more users, connect more people. they didn t sell it, they gave it away. julie: right. after users actually signed up and the privacy wall goes up you would assume as a facebook
not going to give an inch because she wants to be the next speaker and the new house of representatives will be a lot more liberal than before and they aren t going to let her be speaker. i think we missed an opportunity here. we passed the criminal justice act last night. i didn t vote for it but it passed. the democrats desperately wanted that bill. i wish we had said okay, we ll support your bill. i wouldn t have supported it but we ll leverage your support for that bill with funding the border wall. bill: why didn t that happen? that sounds like an interesting debate. hang on, 87-12 the criminal justice bill passed. you voted against it. why did that horse trading as they like to say, why didn t it happen? i don t know. there was none. i can tell you the democrats, my democratic friends are entitled to have their own positions. they were salivating over this
fedex and the u.s. post office is doing extremely well. 98 to 99% of the packages arriving on time. they are trudging through the snow, ice, cold weather and delivering 98 to 99% of the time on time. julie: thank god for them. i ll be the guy in the middle today. bill: loretta lynch is behind closed doors taking a lot of questions by republicans. what will they learn? ken starr on that and a lot more. come on back at the top of the hour here on america s newsroom. and if i d been caring for tom s dad, i would have noticed some dizziness that could lead to balance issues. that s because i m trained to report any changes in behavior, no matter how small, so tom could have peace of mind. we ll be right there.
phone conversation you would be violating the law. if you opened my regular mail you would be violating the law. i agree with what senator kennedy said earlier in the last hour. no one wants to regulate these tech companies but if you violate basic privacy, decency, i have a feeling the federal government will quickly come in and start to work through that process. bill: on that note here is senator kennedy. right on cue last hour with us. push now we found out yet again that facebook has sold our private messages to other companies for bucket loads of money. now, the first time it can be a mistake. second time it s a choice. and i don t want to have to regulate facebook. but they have to stop doing this. bill: is that where it s headed? many have talked about this for a year now. the irony is facebook is better positioned than anybody else to handle the regulation. i think senator kennedy is
