chevrolet, cadillac, chevrolet express and gnc. these new warnings on top of the deadly faulty ignition switch recall that will be costing 300 million in the first quarter. i want to get your immediate reaction to what we are hearing, she just told employees moments ago they will add a second production line trying to speed up delivery of the parts in the recall. is this a good move for gm? >> thanks for having me and good afternoon. she is doing a great job seizing the day. a great opportunity to set the record straight on how she wants run the company going forward in these recalls are partial to that by extending it for a broader range of vehicles. other manufacturers are taking

note and following suit, that is the risk. i look at the recall shares overdone. adam: gm shares have gone positive, but you bring up that word, sees. we will be better because of this tragic situation if we seize the opportunity. could gm create an opportunity for self and shareholders if the perception of problems with its vehicles get into the public mindset? >> i wish i could drive the market that quickly. thank you for noticing that. what we said last week quite frankly was the prolonged recall discussion is a concern. they don't handle it as quickly and swiftly, they haven't shown any evidence this will be misappropriated internally. if you go back, they were much more significant applications of the toyota prius vehicles

currently in production at the time of the recall. the shares took a big hit and even then bounce back. gm could most definitely recover. cheryl: let's talk about the bigger issue for the company and the stock. perfect example, the family of two girls who died, they are now lawyering up. this'll be a wave of lawsuits. this seems to be the real problem for the company. >> gm has a target on their back like other peers if given their size and given the government-sponsored bailout. they come very quickly, they

will handle them in the order in which they come through. pre-bankruptcy, prerecession. the ability to claim legal isolation from the matter, handling it in certain cases will do a good job protecting it ahead. cheryl: we thank you for being with us, we appreciate your time. adam: we want to go to the the new york stock exchange. nicole petallides. nicole: if you like a bull market moving to the upside, you're pretty happy today bouncing back from last week's losses. dow jones industrial up 180 points. at the highest point today we can't 205 points, so not too far off the highs of the day.

the vote raising concerns russia can push further into ukraine. we have several angles covered for you. rich edson at the white house, former deputy advisor to president george w. bush, former deputy assistant national security advisor to dick cheney. you are live at the white house with the latest. go ahead. >> senior administration officials described this as an environment of coercion. something they say there are reports from russia pre-marked before the voting even took place. look at some of the sanctions united stateunited states is ple ukrainians. 11 russians and ukrainians in total right now. some folks described as cronies in the inner circle, freezing their assets. also targets those supporting the referendum. the u.s. will expand those

sanctions to others if russia continues its push into ukraine and doesn't withdraw the soldiers. president obama again called on ukraine to withdraw. >> i believe they're still a path resolve the situation in ways that address interest of both russia and ukraine. that includes russia pulling his forces backed the bases. engaging in dialogue with the ukrainian government. >> they say the eu has announced sanctions on 21 russians and ukrainians. there is some overlap between the u.s. and eu sanctions, but the u.s. cannot detail where the options of overlap are. expected to address the dupont tomorrow, something a legislative body u.s. officials

expect per reports coming out of russia the presiden president oa will announce tomorrow very likely in annexation of crimea in the coming days or weeks. cheryl: thank you very much. adam: for insight and analysis between the united states and russia, we want to bring you former white house advisors. ambassador, is a precedent handling this appropriately, or do we have to ramp up the rhetoric and may be open up exporting natural gas to europe as a way to offset russia's influence in the area? >> first of all, thank you for having me. this is the biggest crisis we are faced since the end of the cold war. the president has to be cautious. this is far more serious. the steps we have taken including the u.n. actions over the weekend are important steps, but we will have to do more if the russians don't back down. this is about the future of ukraine.

again, we have to do military steps, long-term economic steps such as the gas deliveries to europe and reconsider what the whole relationship with russia is today. are they partner for the future or a potential opponent? cheryl: this question is to you, senior administration official says the u.s. was prepared to take further actions. i could be economic. in addition to the announcement you heard from the president this morning. how far do you think they will go to deal with russia who could have a lot of economic power in europe still. >> i think if you look at how this administration has handled crises in the past, we have five years look at, no reason to believe they intend to go much further than the diplomatic talk and the economic sanctions.

they move in the right direction, i have doubts about whether it is too limited to change the calculus for putin. this is a fundamental decision point for how the united states plans to deal with russia. cheryl: doesn't the u.s. look weak? >> we look incredibly weak right now. number one, to international agreements have any meaning whatsoever? they gave up in terms of a promise for integrity. that has been violated. i rambl will watch with great it on that. china will watch with great interest in international community does nothing when a major military power floods with irregular forces and then can vote. this is a terrible, terrible territory for united states on national security.

adam: let me pick up on what he has just said because investors seem to be shortsighted. we are watching the of oil and gold dropped today. a rally here in the united states, but this issue of other countries that might choose to be aggressive in their regions, isn't that the greater threat not only to the united states but throughout the world? >> it certainly is. this threat is a big enough one central europe because of the role of the ukraine and geographic location. this in and of itself is very serious. the russian market has improved a bit overnight but russia does look like it is going to enter into an economic crisis, that is what their own officials are saying. again we need to do more. cheryl: if you watch the russian market move as all of this was coming to fruition, the market traded higher.

they seem to be completely ignoring these sanctions and many are saying this is the first step in russia taking over ukraine completely. ukraine has mobilized military reservist, but that military is known to be incredibly weak. >> you are right. it is down 30%, it picked up a little bit overnight, russia's proposals to improve the you can sign an awful lot like what the germans proposed in 1938 for the dismemberment of czechoslovakia. it is a kind of problem we face with now. don't think they will stop the pressure on a ukraine until we shall we are going to do more actions across the board military, energy, economic. adam: thank you for joining us.

cheryl: will flight 370 ever be found? new clues have investigators taking a closer look at the controls of the plane. if it was intentionally diverted. let's bring in asheville webster. >> still no signs of flight 370. he believes it was the copilot that spoke very last words to ground controllers before it vanished but authorities seem to be backing off earlier suggestions yesterday the final good night or the goodbye came out break medication was turned off. investigators are looking through phone records, passengers to see if anybody on board tried to make calls or send texts if it took a turn to the west. no evidence of any attempt at contact. maintaining there were

diversions on the possibility aircraft crew were involved in the disappearance. the british newspaper claiming the planes captain 53-year-old is a supporter of malaysians opposition leader and upset the politician was arrested hours before the jet disappeared. the wife and three children moved out of the family home the day before the plane went missing. looking closely at the flight simulator he kept at his home. the copilot is under the microscope. he has only started co-piloting recently. the son of a high-ranking official described by family and friends as a very religious about his career. the search expanded into vast air core doors to the north and south of the last known position. 26 countries now involved in the

search, three french officials involved in the search for the air trans flight from rio de janeiro to paris are now offering their expertise. still no sign of the plane. cheryl: fascinating. adam: our next guest fears the worst on the missing airlines flight 370. you believe the plane was hijacked and time to go on the defensive. >> the issue that got away with it somehow, he can't trust what is coming out. that is investigations. somebody wanted 777 for some reason. they wanted it for long-range capability, where could have gone, where might it be sitting today? look at airstrips with six or

7000-foot runway. adam: if the plan were hijacked with intent in the future, where are those people that were on the flight? what happened to them? >> i fear for them. the same number of people in 9/11. they wanted the airplane. i pray they are okay, but it doesn't look good. the airplane was taken a different direction. somebody had to land it. adam: is not the first time the plane has disappeared never to be disappeared. >> it is very rare. they are constantly putting out data. we would be up to our necks in data.

when you're in a cockpit, they can probably disconnect anything they really wants to disconnect so i don't think we have a real safety from that. it is one of those issues we have to rethink a number of things. right now what could somebody do with the airplane? adam: what is the possibility that perhaps one of the pilots was somehow mentally unstable and unfortunately did a suicide pact somehow. >> the point of it is you probably do that just to do with and get it over with. >> we're happy perhaps to sell parts of the airplane, or do you think it would be for the future? >> absolutely mala intent.

they will not strip for parts. they want in their plan with very long-range for some use, who knows. maybe thinking of putting something the airplane. that is conspiracy. but let's face it, we don't have much hard evidence right now. adam: thank you for your perspective. cheryl: we are looking at a market now moving higher today. after the biggest weekly loss like january. adam:'s vacation rusher is lifting us money out. this was the details after $110 withdraw raises speculation russia was behind that move.

in the ukraine it would be up to the u.s. to replace the product in europe. that will not happen based off these sanctions, at least not in the near term. this is weighing down the market today. you mentioned industrial production. natural gas is up big. part of it is the weather. we also got a pop up after that number. the manufacturers after the interruptible contracts are probably coming back online because they couldn't run the factories because they couldn't get their hand on natural. that is number on the bull side. precious metals back down a bit. back to you. adam: phil, thank you very much. investors may be pouring money into u.s. stocks but is russia yanking its money out of the united states? charlie gasparino joins us now with sheila mullen, senior bond reporter at mmi to discuss this. >> not just the senior bond reporter, i would say one of the experts looking at the bond market. i've known you for a long time. what is interesting about a story you broke last week about a huge shift in russian treasury assets out of the u.s. into some sort of third party fund.

explain it to us in a minute. i've been hearing from the banks that the banks are saying if this thing heats up, this ukraine crisis to the point where we have to freeze their assets, then stuff is really going to start happening. the markets are going to turn down. is this a preliminary step to russia saying we think you will freeze our assets? >> well, they had the money at the new york fed. >> right. >> sorry, $105 billion at the new york fed and they moved money overseas. >> right. >> they moved money away from u.s. sanctions. now the u.s. sanctioned i believe 11 individuals. e.u. has sanctioned 21 individuals some with connections to russia. some with connections to crimea. >> right. >> bussians need that money in case they need to intervene. go ahead. >> so, if this freeze happens, we can't touch that stuff. >> it is out from under the united states control. so the question is, where do they go with this money.

>> right. >> now at first i was thinking it was maybe the european central bank. >> right. >> bank of england. one of these other national central banks. >> right. >> now it seems may be more likely a private bank, either a private bank or bis, swiss national bank. >> for out viewers, this is sort of the beginnings of russia shifting its assets out of the u.s. you would say, correct? >> well, those particular things are very safe. it is what they need to intervene to bolster their currency. >> right. >> they really need it to work and safe in the united states right now. what they did, they didn't sell. they just shifted it to a third party custodian. >> away from us. >> it is away from us. the other thing it is like a book entry thing. >> right. >> hey, charlie, third party custodian, can you move this. >> it is not the fed? the fed, having it at the fed means we could actually essentially freeze it and seize isn't. >> that's correct.

that's what they were worried about yeah. >> let me ask you this. why isn't the markets, aren't the markets trading off more on this crisis? clearly they're taking over the crimea. that seems like a fait accompli. you hear all this stuff about troops bordering and elsewhere in the ukraine. it, the markets are going nuts. the treasury markets are not falling. people are buying u.s. treasurys still. >> so what happened is, it was kind of a buy the rumor, sell the fact. so all last week they were buying treasurys and selling the, for the most part selling the risk assets. >> right. >> but now we have, you know, got through the weekend with effectively no real major military battles and they set up some relatively mild sanctions and now we're waiting for the other shoe to drop. the shoe to drop welsh russia's reaction to all this. >> right. >> when i left my work place there was no reaction from russia. >> let's say russia reacts violently, what happens? people buy treasurys or sell.

>> i say buy. everything seems to be same old same sold. >> what goes on with the u.s. stock market? >> i would think that the u.s. and european stocks would go lower if there was a violent reaction out of russia. >> right. >> and i would think what is very interesting, really i think they need, personally i think they need to toughen up the sanctions. russia lives and dies on the energy money coming in. >> right. >> so we slapped the sanctions on, in the united states, 11 and -- >> our bank stocks. i hear from the banks they are really worried about a potential asset freeze. i don't think the obama administration, to be honest with you, has the cajones to do any of this. i know what we're talking about but if they do it bank stocks get crushed, don't they? >> i think that would be probably something that would happen, yes. >> okay. >> if they really want to stop putin, he is really on the march, if they want to stop him they will have to do somehow another cut off the energy

russia money to russia. the europeans and united states have to get together, look, america you will give us a bunch of natural gas. >> right. >> and europe -- >> and you're going to kill the banking system, the banking system will cult off everything more or less? >> well -- >> we have to leave it there, that is a potential, correct? >> yeah. really specific to the energy money. the russia energy money coming in and out. >> okay. >> so germany is of course nervous. >> okay. >> but you've got poland saying look, they will be coming after us. estonia saying we get 100% of our energy, estonia, latvia, lithuania, they get 100% of natural gas from russia. they're feeling very vulnerable position. >> we'll leave it there we're not going to settle it right now. maybe adam can. adam: with my 105 billion in u.s. treasurys. >> u.s. treasurys, yes. adam: swiss accounts so the irs don't get you. charlie, thank you.

cheryl: treading water. that is how the nhb is describing homebuilder confidence? march which rose 1%, one point after plunging to a nine-month low in february. joining me, cheeks sieve interview with area re how who i you -- jerry howard, national home builders association. weather argument seems to be dizzy painting for many spots in the housing market is there a bright spot? the market today. >> the bright spot, are problems that the industry only faces, cheryl when we're actually building. i'm talking about cost of material and lack of supply of labor. both of those are the underlying components that bother our members most right now. five years ago no one complained

to me about not having labor and materials that is the bright side. cheryl: hold on. which got the february jobs report. we saw an increase in labor. the best increase in labor activity in jobs that we had seen since fall of 2013. so jobs are being created. >> jobs are being created but right now we're seeing it in the construction side. during the depression we had a lot of people, a lot of carpetters, a lot of skilled laborers, leave the construction sector, go elsewhere. they haven't come back yet. moreover, a lot of them won't be coming back and we have to train people and it takes time. so that is a real headwind we're facing. >> commodity costs are another issue. let me talk to you about the news that broke over the weekend with regards to fannie and freddie. looks like in washington more of a move a bipartisan move to dissolve fannie and freddie. what kind of reaction are you getting from your members right now? >> we're analyzing the bill as we speak, cheryl, and i tell you right now we believe chairman

johnson and senator crapo have craft ad bipartisan proposal we think will add so much stability it will actually be really beneficial if this thing gets passed in law. cheryl: what in particular, jerry? what part of the bill? >> particularly we think it will both provide for protection for taxpayers from potential bailouts if there's another catastrophic event in the housing finance sector and just as importantly, it will continue to provide the necessary federal backstop some we think it walk as very, very fine line that we've been trying to get congress to take on for the last five years. this bill is, jaap want to say it is spot on but it is pretty close. cheryl: jerry, it is clear the government has made money when it comes to fannie and freddie and the bailout. there is a profit that is being turned. at the same time with many speculating that the housing market will be in for a choppy year aren't you concerned that major changes at fannie and freddie, while they seem simple enough, are going to, it will cause a ripple of discord

regards to officials and banks and buyers and lend officers nothing is simple in this industry as you know. >> no, nothing is simple. in fact what we're most concerned about is the inconsistency and back lack of stability in the rules governing the housing finance sector. we believe and i think the markets will show us as we move forward, having stability, knowing what the requirements and the rules are for lenders, for borrowers is every bit as important as anything else in the marketplace. and right now, we've been in limbo for the last five years. getting this thing back into a stable, confined area where we know what to expect, where my members can imagine their businesses accordingly is very, important and a very major positive step. cheryl: jerry howard, nhbc ceo. jerry, thanks for being here. appreciate it, jerry. >> thanks, cheryl, happy st. patrick's day. adam: even the sunshines on solar stocks every once in a while. sector is jumping as ja solar
