i would say he was pretty brilliant. his team is off the chart excellent. his booster seat was an indication of looking exactly what they were doing. he was coached extremely well. the average user of facebook does it now, doesn't care they will continue to be using it and that is why the nasdaq up 4.5%, even this dodgy dow was up 120%. overall this is not going to affect the long-term effects of the brilliant brand. lauren: well, when you have regulations in the randy, could affect the profitability and bottom-line of a a company like this. listen to an exchange from senator marquis. >> assuming we work out the details, you do support often as the standard, getting permission affirmatively as the standard for the united states. >> senator, that is the right principle. 100 billion times a day when people share content, they

sharing with the data? >> i agree, cheryl. yesterday they were talking about the terms of service. my goodness, who reads that? no one reads it. your average user probably doesn't know this is going on. the facebook feed certainly isn't going to tell them. they are oblivious and they don't know when they don't care. people are going to pay that they are going to turn it off because they need friends and family. there isn't a chevy opportunity like there is from a ford. you don't have the competition. no one's going to do something different. lauren: he was asked about that. you think you're a monopoly? no, we are not a monopoly but with great competition in china. >> the truth of the matter his teammate on knowing the reason for that is everybody wants to be facebook. if you talk to the average techie, what is the plan? i had this brilliant idea to do it for a few years and hopefully

but no one lambasted facebook after the 2012 support of obama. so the issue at hand is one thing in addition to privacy. it's the propaganda issue. he doesn't hire people from brigham young university. he knows they are out there and he knows who they are hiring. maybe they'll don't advertise that. maybe they don't know, but they are not going to brigham young and other entities to hire their programmers for anyone on their staff. lauren: hillary, randy, thank you very much. cheryl: great interview, lauren. well, we just told you about beds in the cargo hold of the plane. but nasa wants you to actually fight to the moon. we will explain that. you might want to wait a few days. you will feel a lot like spring honors. janice dean has the forecast coming up. look at futures. a lot of pressure on the future is. basically concerns about the

president to want to talk about firing moeller. the president said on the salt income of the better off you would be. >> mr. president, any attempt to remove rod rosenstein will create the exact same crisis is if you fired special counsel mueller. do not do it. don't go down this path. cheryl: should trump fire mueller or rosenstein? democratic strategist tomczyk on. good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: lindsay, let me start with you. do you think the president should or can even fire first off robert mueller? >> well, no. when we hear the word coming to the white house that we think he can, in what regard? he's personally firing him, for many group, an investigation. it's an absolute crisis.

i for one think that the optics are terrible. not only that it's bad for america and theirs midterms coming up here on the political front at terrible. for americans is terrible. we want jobs, health care and security security. not this drama. adults need to enter the room. i think he's being contained right now on people on both sides of the aisle and especially those down the middle feeling this to be an absolute disaster. cheryl: hommes, legal experts are having a debate about this this morning. the president has to direct rod rosenstein to fire robert mueller. he can direct them to do that, but also reports he would rather walk out the door and quit before he would dismiss robert mueller who he appointed to conduct the russia investigation. >> yeah you know, have to start with one thing. the republicans tried to hand us

the white house and congress? i don't know what's going on in the minds of people in the republican party right now. this is not how you run a country. this would trigger a constitutional crisis in this one is put away for good. we all agree on that point. moreover, it doesn't seem to be clear president trump can inspire mueller directly. he is to go immediate boss. something back in the nixon years and you had the midnight massacre back in those days are this can be a disaster for the republican party and one that would set them back like nixon did for the coming decade or so. i'm not sure what they are thinking. cheryl: hamza khan, have to stop you. we're talking about president trump. mitch mcconnell has come out and said mr. mueller should be allowed to finish his job. this actually could divide the republican party. >> there is a day.

the entire trump administration altogether was one big box can especially folks in the white house. we saw his press secretary defended the other day about this. you do have republican senators putting in bipartisan legislation to stop this behavior by the trump administration. but it still raises the question, what is the republican party doing en masse to stop the president from destroying the constitutional structure? it's unclear to me if they save themselves in the midterms. more importantly if they have a plan, say we enter into a national security crisis. we are not sure what could happen next. >> people go to the midterms and vote about the economy and the job situations. i want to move onto another point, lindsay. it looks like a bipartisan group that will come out today and propose bipartisan legislation to protect mueller. it is corey booker, senator thom tillis, lindsay graham is posed in this group with chris coons.

what do you make of this bipartisan group to stop this from happening? >> i think this flies in the face of the concept that everyone around trump is in a big rocks. you can't say moderate republicans especially on the hill, sarah huckabee sanders who is his spokesperson. republicans are having a hard time containing him. they've had the same problem his entire presidency thus far. this is about the american people. this isn't a partisan issue. it's gotten to the point where this affects america. these guys know that and they are people with massive name recognition of both their parties stepping forward with them. i think it's very strategic. >> you've got to ask the question, what are republicans in house going to do? he seems to have bipartisanship in the senate. but we do know we have an active prodrug caucus in the house of representatives that has been a

thorn in the side of paul ryan and the leadership. what's going to happen there. cheryl: we don't know, but i do want to read several reports with many white house staffers including his legal adviser at the white house telling them not to do that. i want to be clear on that. that authority out there. a lot of voices in the president's ear right now. lindsay, hamza khan, guys, thank you. lauren: volkswagen is making some changes at the top. cheryl: yeah, hillary von joins us with that. good morning again. reporter: hey, good morning. welcome reports that volkswagen is replacing their current ceo of, matthias müller with their current or in chief of vw. the move comes as they look for a fresh face to hope they recover from the missions scandal. the change in leadership as part of a management makeover the company is undergoing. volkswagen shares on the newsstands for .5%.

well, the african nation of chad has been removed from the trump administration's televangelist. the white house said improvements in identifying potential terrorists and information sharing lead to president trump signing off. libya, somalia come as urea,, north korea, iran and some venezuelan officials remain on the list. and then there is this. shocking video showed the road suv slamming into a 711 hitting a man as he walked out of the store and narrowly missing a woman standing at the counter. there she is right there. the 64-year-old man was drunk all the way to the back of the store. he was taken to the hospital with some pretty serious injuries. the driver facing multiple charges including drunk driving being held on $50,000 bail. good but not now suspected drunk driver. lauren: camp with a woman at the counter is okay. just mr. canceling trip to manage the response to serious alleged

assad ordered. the last thing we want to do is do some reading that would help some islamic radical groups who may have done this to promptly send there. we have to be very careful that we know what would happen before we take military action. lauren: understood. in terms of unified risk on conjunction with france and britain, do you see that playing out? >> certainly on that front they seems to be good coordination with president macron and prime minister may of great britain. they seem to the court made him very well on that. whatever seems to be happening with the unified front for the united states, so won't just be the united states and is positive in that regard. lauren: russia says it will shoot down a missile that flies over syria. look what ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley said yesterday. >> when the people of dumas along with the rest of the international community look to this council to act, one country
