do and we know how partisan it is up here to have the top democrats and republicans join one another in this press conference to talk about what they say is the seriousness of what one called the cascade of leaks coming out of the intelligence community and really does speak volumes. what did we learn out of the briefing since it was about leaks? not too much. the big picture is that what these senior members of the intelligence committees are saying is that they want to try to legislate, to somehow find a way to deter from leaks from the intelligence community, but as you were talking about with the chairman and last hour, the big question is whether or not the leaks that have been coming in the past couple of weeks and months have been politically motivated. john mccain has made that allegation directly. so i asked the democratic chairman woman, diane feinstein about the fact we are five months before an election and anything like this could potentially hurt the white house. >> do you have any concern that by making such a big deal out of the obama strags administration, maybe not the white house, but this is going to be finger pointing politically at the white house? >> this is not finger pointing at anybody. what we're trying to do is say we have a problem and we want to stop that problem. we're going to put changes in the bill but, dana, this has to stop. when people say they don't want to work with the united states because they can't trust us to keep a secret, that's serious. >> her republican counterpart said that he is not going to -- what he said, the words he used is he is not going to prejudge the investigation. he said wherever it falls it falls. >> of course the big question is when will the investigation be completed and if they -- where was this proof going to be of where these leaks came from and what the motivation is as usual when it comes to these leaks more questions than answers. you will be on top of it. dana, thanks so much. >> thanks, kate. hearings, yes, congress loves to hold them. i know that all too well. today they're talking about whether the tsa is too rude, yes, too rude and somehow beyonce came up. could americans

>> it comes down to what you mentioned, the casting choice of char leez theron, christian stewart and it has so many people in hollywood, little people up in arms and instead of actually casting little people to play snow white's seven dwarves they did resize the faces of full-sized actors and transplanted them onto the bodies of little people. the voices from the full-sized actors were also use and had dead wood star ian mcshane and bob hoskins are a few of the actors cast as dwarves and a los angeles based theater group which features a group of little people tells tmz, wait a minute, what's wrong with casting actual little people to play dwarf roles?

>> no official statement from universal of the it is important to note here that little people were in fact cast in the film because the bodies were used for dwarf roles and the decision to use only the faces of well known british actors like mcshane and hoskins was for recognizability and acting background. >> there you have it. thank you so much. next on reporter roulette thousands of applicants for hundreds of jobs. one auto maker is hiring big time in obama. this is great news for a lot of people. felicia taylor is at the stock exchange with more. >> this is really good news, no doubt about that. it is 22,000 applicants for just 877 positions. that's good. at a hyundai plant in montgomery, obama, about 25 workers competing for each job position ep on. jobs will eventually add a third shift to the factory and so no wonder there is great demand and frankly the pay is pretty good. it ranges between like 16 and $22 an hour for production line and maintenance positions. montgomery, by the way, has unemployment rate of about 7% and so that's less than what the overall national average is and still very high considering. >> hyundai isn't the first company to bring this similar jobs to obama, right?
