trump's campaign improperly obtained private information of millions of facebook users. that much we know. but there's a lot we don't. now mark zuckerberg is apologizing and vowing to prevent this from happening again. >> cnn has learned special counsel robert mueller's investigation is interested in asking president trump about four topics if he sits down with them for an interview, all of this as the house is set to vote this afternoon on a $1.3 trillion spending package. will lawmakers pass it in time before tomorrow's deadline to avert another government shutdown. we begin with cnn's laurie segall live in san francisco with more on her exclusive interview. >> reporter: as you said before, people are waiting to hear from mark, waiting for him to come forward for the accountability. so much anger over what happened with this user data. so many unanswered questions. i came to min low park, went to

facebook's offices. we sat in mark zuckerberg's office, something called the fish bowl. he started out by saying, i'm sorry. take a listen. >> let me start with just a basic question, mark, what happened? what went wrong? >> so this was a major breach of trust, and i'm really sorry that this happened. we have a basic responsibility to protect people's data. if we can't do that, then we don't deserve to have the opportunity to serve people. so our responsibility now is to make sure this doesn't happen again. >> lawmakers in the united states and the uk are asking you to testify. everybody wants you to show up. will you testify before congress? >> so the short answer is i'm happy to if it's the right thing to do. facebook testifies in congress regularly on a number of topics, some high profile and some not. our objective is always to provide congress, the extremely

important job, to have the most information that they can. we see a small slice of activity on facebook. but congress gets to have access to the information across facebook and all other companies and the intelligence community and everything. so what we try to do is send the person at facebook who will have the most knowledge about what congress is trying to learn. so if that's me, then i am happy to go. what i think we found so far is typically there are people whose whole job is focused on an area, but i would imagine at some point that there will be a topic where i am the sole authority on and it will make sense for me to do it. >> you are the brand of facebook, the face of facebook. people want to hear from you. >> that's why i'm doing this interview. the question in a question of congressional testimony is what is the goal. that's not a media opportunity, or at least it's not supposed to be. the goal there is to get congress all the information

they need to do their extremely important job. we just want to make sure we send whoever is best informed doing that. i agree separately that there's an element of accountability where i should be out there doing more interviews. as uncomfortable as it is for me to do a tv interview, i think this is an important thing that is a discipline for what we're doing, i should be out there and being asked hard questions by journalists. >> given the stakes here, why shouldn't be facebook be regulated? >> i actually am not sure we shouldn't be regulated. i think in general technology is an increasingly important trend in the world, and i actually think the question is more what is the right regulation rather than yes or no should it be regulated. >> what's the right regulation? >> well, there are some basic things and i think there are big intellectual debates. on the basic side, there are things like ads transparency

regulation that i would love to see. if you look at how much regulation there is around advertising on tv, in print, not clear why there should be less on the internet. you should have the same level of transparency required. i don't know if a bill is going to pass. i know a couple of senators are working really hard on this. we're committed and we've actually started rolling out ad transparency tools that incorporate most of the things in the bills people are talking about today. we think this is an important thing. people should know who is buying the ads they see on facebook and you should be able to go to a page and see who is running the ads to different audiences. >> how has being a father changed your commitment to users and the future and what a kinder facebook looks like? >> well, i think having kids changes a lot. >> like what? >> i used to think that the most important thing to me by far was

my having the greatest positive impact across the world that i can. and now i really just care about building something that my girls are going to grow up and be proud of me for. that's what is kind of my guides philosophy at this point. when i come and work on a lot of hard things during the day and i go home and ask, will my girls be proud of what i did today. >> reporter: a rare emotional moment from mark zuckerberg. this has been a year of reckoning for facebook, but also a year of reckoning for mark seker berg. facebook launched in 2004 and it's 2018. this is a company that's been around for 18 years. it's been interesting, when you look at a lot of founders that created technology that has disrupted so much. a lot of these folks are in their 30s now. they're now having children and now looking at the world in a

different way. we're hoping they're looking at the world in a different way. i will say this, it's an important time in technology where this pivotal moment where technology is neutral. it can do good and it can do bad and we need our leaders to step up and understand the impact of the algorithms for their kids as you see mark talk about. >> also the call for tech companies to step up and take more responsibility for the technology they're throwing out there and to better understand the impact. >> the internet has been given a pass in a lot of different ways. we'll see if that's going to change. laurie asked about being a parent. you've got two parents right here. he's going to be worried about whether his kids are safe when they're online, whether or not people can exploit them online, whether people can get their information and use it against them and hurt them online. that's the same consideration he should have right now for the 50 million people. drn political analyst jonathan martin and joshua green. josh is the author of "devil's bargain" which specifically

addresses steve bannon's ties to cambridge analytica. let's start with you on this. this is not new information from anybody that understands the traen team and steve bannon. what is the reality of the relationship to of bannon to cambridge and came brynn to the campaign. >> bannon had a three-part plan, to galvanize the nationalist movement politicians like jeff sessions. the second way was to build out an investigative capacity, start a non-profit that produced the clinton cash book, and the third branch was to build the data capability that would allow him and the leaders of this movement, including the mercers, his benefactors at the time who put up the money behind cambridge analytica to do things like test phrases like the deep state and drain the swamp, which andrew wylie, the cambridge

whistle-blower. cambridge analytica took advantage of the fact that facebook was asleep at the switch during this period and exploited the information. >> in terms of facebook being asleep at the switch, mark zuckerberg all but admitting to that, in the in those words. it was clear he didn't have a grasp of exactly what happened. they don't know what happened and they haven't started any of this planning they're talking about, the statement he was trying to spin in the interview with laurie. they actually haven't started that process. they still have to build a lot of this out and when he was asked about whether or not facebook had interfered, his response, jonathan, was that it's hard to assess which is interesting because most people looking at this, and certainly, josh, with your book, as we look at this, it's pretty clear there was an impact in some way. >> yeah. i think facebook is dealing with crisis pr right now and they

don't want to say too much that could potentially bring more regulations from washington that they actually want. but at the same time they have to show some level of contrition here because people are, of course, angry about what happened during the campaign. zuckerberg waiting for days to address this, and then doing a half contrition but not quite full mia culpa deal. i think in large part because they don't want to be heavily regulated and hauled before committees in washington and be forced to account for what happened. >> look, the community standards into how your information is shared that we all click off on is like this thick. it's been lawyered to death. there's a lot going on there that they don't necessarily want to play up as part of the consumer platform, josh. here is one of the political considerations. we know they're about volume, these businesses. it's about how many people they have online. curating that number isn't

exactly in their interest. how do we know that? look at duplicate profiles. we're doing a documentary about online dating programs. we have people begging facebook to take down duplicate platforms for them and they have a 50/50 chance of success. what does that tell you? these people will act out of consequence, not out of conscience. will that be done for them? do you think we'll see regulation, lawmakers stepping up saying you have to do more, we're going to make sure of it. >> i think we'll see this eventually. the problem facebook has is their business model is built on selling user data to as many people as they can. it goes directly against their profit imperative to do things like limit the ability of some of these app designers to steal people's information and sell it to other actors as cambridge analytica allegedly did. look, this problem was obvious three, four years ago.

if people like steve bannon recognized it and could exploit it, a lot of other people knew it was going on, too. facebook which was alerted to this years ago by reporters has chosen not to act until now when it's become such a public problem that it's hitting their stock price. >> let's shift gears for a minute because i want you take on this. jonathan, cnn has learned that there are definitely four topics robert mueller would like to talk to the president about, among them the june 2016 meeting between the russians and don junior. the president's role in terms of creating the statement. also both the firings of michael flynn and james comey. on the face those topics not entirely shocking. does that change anything, jonathan, in terms of the way the president and his legal team may be approaching this? >> it doesn't change the fact that there are folks on his legal team who are going to want him to not cooperate because he doesn't want to expose the president to potentially making a false statement, especially

given that three of the four of those matters the president was directly involved in. i think especially dicy is the middle one you had in your graphic, the crafting of the statement on air force one, the president himself was directly involved in. then you raise, there it is, air force one statement, because then you raise the matter potentially of obstruction of justice. that's where it gets very dicy for the president. this is why there's this on going fight between he and his lawyers about whether or not to sit down and cooperate with mueller. look, the lawyers know what this president does. they've seen past what he's given where he's wandered away from the facts. and they're worried about him doing that again. the president, of course, is not lacking confidence and wants to stand up for his side and tell his story. he has great confidence, as we know, in himself and his ability to get out of any danger. i think that's what this comes

down to, if the president himself is going to be overrule his own lawyers. >> josh, quick question. the president tweeted this morning, kind of poking fun at how during the campaign people said that he couldn't compete with hillary's big internet operation. he says they're not saying that anymore. do you think he knows what cambridge analytica did for him? >> i don't think trump has any idea. he is not an in-the-weeds internet kind of guy. he's a grab the twitter feed and start hazing your opponents kind of guy. he's actually right in the tweet. he went on to say the media said i wasn't spending enough money and didn't have a good enough tech plan. well, i won. he's right about that. >> any elevated brad bar scale. >> trump did understand the power of facebook and social media. i talked to him about it shortly after he won the nomination. he basically thought he could run his campaign through facebook which in the end he pretty much did.

not only did he manage to amass millions of donors, he may also have worked with some of this prolonged data wittingly or otherwise. >> i think there's going to be more questions about what they knew, who knew what. gentlemen, appreciate it. you make us better every time you're on. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg says he's willing to testify before congress about the cambridge analytica data scandal if he is the right guy to do it. that is called, my friends, a hedge. next we have a republican lawmaker with what he wants to see next. i'm very proud of the fact that i served. i was a c130 mechanic in the corps, so i'm not happy unless my hands are dirty. between running a business and four kids, we're busy. auto insurance, homeowner's insurance,

>> if that's me, then i'm happy to go. >> who else would it be? that's facebook ceo and founder zuckerberg talking about calls for him to testify before congress about the company's massive data breach. so what are lawmakers going to do? let's ask republican congressman chris stewart of utah, a member of the house intel committee which will be briefed by facebook officials this week. thanks for taking the opportunity as always. do you think the officials from facebook should include se zuckerberg? >> i don't know who would be better. i think to protect the

credibility of his own company, he needs to be out ahead of this. i don't think it works for him to send a surrogate. he needs to be the voice and the face of the company as they try to rebuild or maintain the credibility of what they've been doing. >> we all know the ability to safeguard personal information is an issue. we know there are proprietary interests in the use of that information by some of these platforms and that there's some problems with who can get their hands on it. do you think it's time for more regulation? >> i think it is. there's three things we know. these companies gather our private information and monetize it. we also know political campaigns gather that private information or buy that private information and use it to move voters. the third thing is that our adversaries use that information to divide it, use social media to make us fight with one another and also to move voters. knowing that, i don't think we

can terribly surprised that we see these types of things. but the companies have to be transparent. they have to be ethical and it might be time for government to take a more aggressive oversight role. >> trouble with your party who are in the regulation-the-bad mode. problems with democrats in the internet-should-be-free mode. how do you deal with that? >> it's a complicated problem. it really is. we're reerlly just beginning to look at it. this is something we've allowed to grow and develop on its own as it should have. by the way, i'm win of those who believe in a free market. i'm one of those who believe that this thing growing from the ground up is the best way to go. at some point i think there might be an appropriate role if not else but to set standards and that there is transparency. i have to tell you one more time, people can't be shocked at this, they can't be surprised

knowing when they put information on facebook, someone is doing something with it. by the way, that's why i'm not on facebook. i have a problem with that. but it turns out most people don't. >> everybody sees the big thick thing, they know it's long and they check off and agree to it because they want to be part of the community. that's where you come in, where regulation comes in. not all regulation is bad. this is exactly one of those situations so we'll see if the men and women on the left and the right can get together and deal with something that we all know is an ongoing concern. let me ask you about another on going concern while i have you, congressman. 2,232 pages of only bus beauty is coming your way to be dealt with by friday. you haven't read all of it. no one you know has read all of it. do you see that as part of the problem with this constipated process? >> no question about it. your description constipated process is overly gracious, frankly. i sit on appropriations as well

as intel. we work so hard from january to august and all that work just disappears. it goes into some black hole, and months later, many months later we're given the only bus on an evening one day and said we're going to vote on this tomorrow. it frustrates the life out of me. as you indicated, just the ability to read and digest the document is nearly impossible. it's extraordinarily frustrating and we work so hard for months and we don't see that being put into the final product. i'm not the only one who feels that way, many members of congress, republicans and democrats, who truly believe we have to reform this process. we can't keep doing the same thing and expect any kind of different result. >> that's exactly what keeps happening, sfliet one of the little fallouts from this is you're going to wind up voting for this, most guys will, because you don't want to shut down the government and this is the last thing you'll do before the midterm elections. then you'll have some punk like me who is going to go through all of it and say, chris

stewart, you voted in favor of this, and you're not going to know it was in there. what's the chance there's any progress in terms of doing things better down there? >> i actually think there is a chance. we have a by camera, republicans, democrats, senators and members of congress have a small working committee that will reform this. the ideas are very simple. one thing, go to a two-year budget so we don't go lurching month to month from a cr to cr potential shutdown. why would anyone object to that? >> because they won't get a chance to fight over it in an incremental fashion. that's the premium right now. the premium is in finger-pointing between the two parties. whether it's the pundits, the politicians, they're worse, they're wrong, they're bad. that's what you're doing down there. >> maybe, but at some point you reach a point where you go, the benefit is just not worth the cost. for those -- i hope i'm not

among them. for those that would rather finger point than fix something and make it better, at some point they say the pain is not worth it any longer. i think we've reached that point. again, across the aisle, the democrats are frustrated by this. i know my party is. i'm an appropriator and even myself on that committee, i'm very angry and frustrated with this. i would certainly support some of these reforms. >> you look at it. no daca, nothing figured out to help people with their health insurance premiums. nothing for the va. everybody talking about shulkin and how we have to do better there. there was a deal on the table and nothing happened. 2,000 pages and they didn't make their weigh in. we talk about the dysfunction. that leads us to the last topic -- >> chris, could i say one thing real quick on that. this is ironically a pretty good example of, believe it or not, bipartisan protocol. you'll have a lot of democrats who support this. and you'll have a lot of o republican support.

i'm upset with the process, but at the end of the day there are a lot of things republicans and democrats will support which is why a lot of them will vote for it. >> yeah. except that i don't know that the agreement necessarily correlates with responsible government. i think you guys will agree because it's is somewhat of a death sentence if you're not able to get these things done, especially when it's the last big move before the midterms. >> couldn't agree more. >> this is existential. that doesn't mean it's better for me or american families. >> exactly. the process of this is just outrageous government, a ridiculous way to fund and operate our government. >> we're out of time. this is important. it's pressing on friday. you more often than not take the opportunity to come on and discuss what matters to the american people. thank you for that. >> thank you, chris. >> erica. >> the house voting today on the massive bipartisan $1.3 trillion spending bill. the house freedom caucus already opposing it.

a house vote this afternoon on a $1.3 trillion spending

bill, including sds 700 billion in defense spending, congress has until tomorrow to pass it or they avoid another government shutdown. joining us now is republican cngressman paul gozar of arizona, a member of the house freedom caucus which opposes the bill. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> are you standing firm on this? >> absolutely. this represents everything that's wrong with this procession, bad process builds bad policy builds bad politics. >> i was wondering when you guys would get your feet stuck in the spend. you've been swallowing a lot of deficit spending in the name of party unity. what made this the break point? >> this epitomizes what's so wrong with the process is that four people made decisions for the whole congress. that's totally wrong. when i was sent here in 2010, it

was to get our finances under wraps and start being accountable to the people. what's going to happen is when we finally get people to read this over 2,000-page -- >> nobody is going to read it. >> the thing is, when they find out what's in it, they'll be shocked. we can't pay for our veterans fighting agent orange but arming the arts? it's unbelievable the fiscal irresponsibility that goes on. >> here is the big question you don't hear very often because everybody is so invested in the fight. fix it. how do you fix it because i get where you're coming from, i get your convictions. they're reasonable. they should be argued out and decided upon. how do you fix this process? >> the one thing is at least the house passed a budget in the 12 ap proep asians bill, albeit they were shortened. when you do none of the

appropriation bill, you forfeit your power of the purse. that's the whole key. congress has to go line by line and fund those projects that they want to fund and mandate that money be spent accordingly. when you don't do that, what we do is throw this money at problems and hopefully it filters down to the right process. that's not the way things need to be done here. >> i know. but that is the way it is done, and that ain't new. how do you change it? >> chris i have been no wall flower. i've called out my two senators in our state. i've called out mitch mcconnell. what ends up happening, you don't strategy at the last minute when there's a mayday call. you start it from the start. what's fair for president should be fair for another. confirmation processes. if we're going to hold things up, where is the guts on the majority leader and the senate to say, guess what, you folks aren't going home until we get this done. >> i hear you on that. you emboldened it a little bit.

you went along with the tax bill even though there's a huge deficit fallout even by modest projections. you guys went along with it. they think they can push you now. they think they can push you. >> once again, you have to identify and diagnose the real problem. so if you're not talking, you can't fix. so one of the things we have to have is get back away from these four people -- maybe there's enough people now on the sidelines, maybe john cornyn in the senate is upset because he was in part of those dictations. a bunch of people in the house, they're upset because they weren't part of the dictations. but when you take personal property rights away, when you take and infringe on the second amendment, when you do all these different things that you promised the american people you weren't going to do, there's a day of reckoning coming, chris. >> i know, but it's always about compromise and how they feel about their leverage on the leadership level and this balance of conscience which goes

like this, really high. consequence is what ends up weighting their decisions. they got you on taxes, got you on the health care even though you know it may add to our fiscal responsibilities. they know they're going to get you know because if you don't vote for this, you may be exposed in the midterms. how do you deal with that? >> i'm not voting for it. not only that, i'm not voting for the rule because this is such a poor process. >> are there enough of you left that that will make a difference? >> it will make a difference. what this will show, they'll have to go across the aisle to get the votes. what ends up happening is ms. pelosi is extrapolating a pound of flesh for every vote she has to give paul ryan. i hope that the american people are actually watching this charade because it is exactly that, a share read. >> you see how i'm talking to you about it. i'm not nitpicking different things and saying the left says this and the right says this. i'm saying this process is

malignant and not serving the common wheel. remember that, weal. it's not working anymore. i guess there's a lot of value in pointing back and forth. that pelosi, boy, and that ryan, he's doing this. but that's the way it's been for too long. who is going to change it? >> we've actually put things on the table, chris. for example, starting to allow our military to start making some changes within their budgetary process, prioritizing, getting rid of -- where is the reforms so that instead of 20 cents of every dollar being wasted in the military, why don't we reinvest that. when you have eyes inside, sometimes that helps. talking about health care, how about breaking everybody down to the lowest common denominator so everybody is focused on a patient fsh focused type health care system. when we sit here and make fat cats out of the insurance

industries, pharmaceuticals. >> why didn't you go after the insurance companies the way you went after the consumers? >> chris, i'm the guy that has that bill that says -- >> but that's not what happened. >> i have a promise by the majority leader in the senate to have a vote on breaking up the insurance industry. >> when is that going to happen? >> that's what i need the american people to do, mr. majority leader, when is that vote? >> any time you want to come on and push for something to create progress -- how about the people controlling the prices? you want to talk about them and what can be done to make this better, you are welcome here any time. you've got to be able to do better than this. >> this is one of those things, when you start looking at the competitive marketplace, putting some focus in competition in the marketplace. as a health care provider, i see the benefits over and over and over again where the patients becomes the focus instead of the premium. >> look, it's a legitimate fight

to have. you can't have funding from now to september be 2,200 pages. i could barely even lift it and that is remarkable. i didn't say i was smart. i said i was strong. >> thanks chris. >> you are welcome to have this conversation any time you want. >> we'll take you up on it. >> erica. president trump taunting joe biden in a tweet this morning attacking his predecessors as well while defending his call to congratulate vladimir putin. the big question why? that's in "the bottom line" next. ♪

it just may be that trump decided to throw a stink bomb in the middle of those proceedings so they'd be talking about something other than what biden wanted to be talking about. >> does he care enough about joe biden's announcement? >> i think -- erica, a guy on a street corner can tweet and the president of the united states might respond to him. he knows that joe biden is on the radar screen. joe biden right now would be the front-runner for the democratic nomination. yes, i think he would take that provocation. >> biden is not the only one he is coming after of the democratic variety. there's another tweet where he seems to be doing something that is becoming very familiar within his support base. if there's something for him to account for, he will immediately reflect it on what others, specifically democrats, have done in the past. i called president putin to congratulate him on his election. the fake news media is crazed

because they wanted me to excoriate him. they are wrong. getting along with yaush and others is a good thing, not a bad thing. they can help solve problems with north korea, syria, ukraine, isis, iran, and even the coming arms race. bush didn't have the smarts. obama and clinton didn't have the energy or chemistry. remember reset. peace through strength. >> it's not peace through strength with putin. out can't send putin flowers and chocolates and get his cooperation. he'll cooperate because, one, it's in his interest, that's why he cooperated with obama on iran, afghanistan. or because you're taking tough actions against him like going after the oligarchs on whom he's so reliant which trump won't do. the problem for trump is he puts this -- this has to be put in the larger perspective. he never is willing to challenge putin, never. it isn't what he said on that

call, it's what he didn't say. how can you talk to vladimir putin and not at least reference the fact that he invaded our elections, he just tried to knock someone off with nerve gas in london and he is more and more emboldened. the president of the united states won't set limits for him, and that's the real issue here. yes, president obama called him. i'm not as troubled by the fact that he called. i'm troubled by what is unwilling to say and do. >> you're troubled by the part of the call that didn't happen, addressing the poisoning. >> and his on going efforts to mess with our electoral system and our democracy. >> he says he's still stronger because obama didn't arm ukraine, he did. obama wouldn't bomb in syria, he did. >> yeah. he did take those actions. but the big action that needs to be taken now is to fully

implement those sanctions. in terms of his cooperation, as i said before, he needs to find common interest with putin. putin is not interested in being pampered. he will take that as a sign of weakness. >> good to see you. >> good to see you guys. >> podcast coming up, ax interviews me. >> best episode yet? >> it got ugly. he threatened to take me behind the building. i said i don't go for that violence. we moved on. a chill look at the las vegas killer before the massacre. never-before-seen video of what he did in the days leading up to that night when he killed so many. but first, the time of day that you eat may impact your weight loss. you've heard this before. but lisa drayer has more, stuff you may not know in "food as fuel." >> in addition to counting calories, the timing of your meals may also influence weight

loss. that's due to changes in our daily internal body clocks or circadian rhythms. one study found people who ate a late lunch despite consuming the same amount of calories. another study found that everything else being equal, folks who ate large breakfasts lost more than twice the weight of those whose big meal was dinner. the takeaway, it's better to front load your calories and carbs. so don't skip breakfast. your morning meal should have at least 300 calories with a mix of fiber and protein. lunch should be your main meal of the day. half your plate should be non-starchy veggies with one quarter protein and the other quarter high fiber carbs. if you need an afternoon snack, make sure it's high in protein and fiber and under 200 calories. deep dinner light and no carb since our bodies are more prone to storing fat in the evening.
