all of those names and all of the associated private information that goes along with it. you have two sides of the same coin here, he says he will release it. by the way, this same bank did go after him once before and they were able to get an injunction against his website that briefly shut it down but then it was lifted. it remains to be seen if other bank with sue him. he really criticized the banks for doing that to him, calling it a kind of economic censorship. always interesting with julian assange, that s for sure. here s a look at what s happening at the top of the hour. doctors will update the information on congresswoman giffords. also happening in tucson, there will be a public memorial for giffords staffer gabe zimmerman. no other medicine, not even advil pm,
whether this disaster or something else. it never registered. maybe there s not a market for it. when you look at 9/11, as tragic as it was and everyone came together, in the end, the president asked the american people i remember this to go shopping. spend money. he didn t ask us to work on a bipartisan basis. neil: i m not interested in 9/11. i m interested in taking a crisis like this and whatever the merits you have for agreeing for a green energy agenda, won t americans say here you go again, taking something like this and taking advantage of it? i think the american people realized for a long time, probably a lot faster than in washington, that we can t keep spending hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars on foreign oil. drilling will be a piece of this and it has to be safer. there s something we haven t done, put the research we should be into biofuels. all kinds of potential.
wages were cut 15%. unemployment went up. we didn t are rioting in the streets. why? it was evil companies that had to keep budget balanced because they don t have a mystical power called taxation to keep open. they had to face the reality and we paid the piper. lots of us that run companies cut budget and i didn t have to cut with my employees but a lot of businesses we counsel with cut pay across the board. it s the same math. a 5% cut is a cut but the difference is if you re a spoiled freakin brat and it s the government or in corporationses where reality it reality. the state controller is saying california has a zero cash balance. that s not good. the largest state in the country, sixth largest in the

attacking bp is not going to help anything. they have already put $7 billion aside. yes, we do need more. but this is a voluntary placement in escrow of money. no judge has determined their liability. we re assuming they re liable but wait a minute, that s not what our constitution says. our constitution says they have the right to go to court and put up a defense. neil: but the congressman raised a good point. in the valdez incident there were years of legal arguments and a lot of folks got paid pennies on the dollar even when it was ruled it was exxon s responsibility. my point is they re trying to avoid that now. maybe with a clumsy mechanism but constitutionally, can they do what they didn t do in 89? no because there s no authority. you can t go in and take assets of a company by executive order?
