helping students learn. >> we were talking about what salcan would not be possible. what is the lesson for all of us in resource allocation and in relationship what values would you say are determining the way you make decisions? >> technology should make things less expensive and allow you to get directly to the consumer. the data available should bring only relevant things to customers. . you can be national or global at any time. so resource allocation is about building a brand take and taking costs out and having to deliver on behalf of the customer. historically, you didn't have to deliver to the customer. you had no direct relationship. those days are gone. if you don't treat the customer well, you're not going to be in business. >> at the same time, this is the

for the public, to help these markets function more effectively, and that's what i'm focused on. >> conservatives would ask whether we need -- why do we need another federal agency? yet another federal agency to "make markets function effectively?" >> well, we never had a federal agency that had that job. it was kind of broken out among 7, 8 agencies, which meant nobody focused on it. we had the mortgage market which led to the financial meltdown. we know how badly that hurt so many americans, many of whom had nothing to do with it but lost jobs, lost homes, had their communities affected. so if we can make sure these markets function in a fair and transparent manner, i think businesses, the responsible businesses are going to welcome that. and i think it's good for them and good for consumers. >> so you have two years to try and make a difference because this was a recess appointment. what are your priorities? what can you do to protect the consumer and perhaps even convince republicans who say there's nothing wrong with you but clearly didn't want you there? >> well, and i -- i take that at

letting a multibillion-dollar corporation off the hook to such a tune. it's not just injury claims but property claims which i think will be one of the most abundant claims across the board. gregg: michael, wouldn't you argue that these are contracts of adhesion? there was no opportunity here for any of the ticket buyers to negotiate the terms. >> absolutely. it's absolutely a contract of add hearings but there is united states supreme court precedent right on point saying these types of tickets are valid. any time you buy anything online, any time a consumer cliques on something saying i agree to the terms and conditions nobody reads them. i'm a lawyer, i don't even read them. corp. raeugts -gs are allowed to put in things that are so ridiculous i think it's only left to the courts to say, to draw the line what is reasonable and unreasonable. gregg, absolutely i would argue it's unreasonable, a hundred percent unreasonable. gregg: what about another legal doctoring called res ipsa

are these not contracts because the ticket buyer never negotiates. >> when you buy anything online, when a consumer clicks on something, saying i agree to the terms, no one reads those, i'm a lawyer, i don't read them, and corporations are allowed to put in things that are so ridiculous that it is only left to the court to draw the line. what is reasonable? what is unreasonable? absolutely i would argue it is unreasonable. >> is that a case for the many victims, they will get large checks i would predict, because the negligence and recklessness seems so terribly obvious. >>shepard: we will see if they find the rest of the 16. thank you very much. politic now, and a few hours until the fox news republican debate ahead of the weekend's primary in south carolina and mitt romney is headed into south carolina with a huge front runner lead but polls suggest there are a lost undecided voters all across the palmetto
