ashley: yes. stuart: instead of getting a nice scent you get tear gas. liz: or your teenage kid trying to take the car. stuart: don't mention that. time's up. thank goodness. neil of the, it is yours. neil: president of the united states is on capitol hill with the friend of ireland luncheon. always nice when the leader of ireland comes here every year, he or she is. meantime, we are getting updates as well on post this airline sidelining of 737 super jet. now how many are going to be sidelined? we don't know. we know it interrupted boeing's plans to sell upwards of 5000 of them the last few years. that is one thing weighing on the stock. but overall market is holding

up. we have edward lawrence at white house with the very latest. hey, edward. reporter: it is all about ireland today. full disclosure i'm part ireland from my mother's side. president is going to capitol hill for the friend of ireland luncheon. he he met with the problem of ireland. leo varadkar. a vote in the senate will be to stop the declaration. >> i will probably have to veto. it wit not be overturnedded. the legal scholars all say it is totally constitutional. it's very important, really border security vote. reporter: the bill is expected to pass. the question for the white house here is how many republican defections are they going to get? once the bill passes it syncs up with the house version, comes to the president's desk.

he will veto the bill going forward notice there is enough senate votes to override the veto, why the white house is watching this so closely. he is looking to see exactly how many senators vote for this bill. 60 would be the threshold for override of the veto. the president told senators to vote how they want. still they're watching to see who votes with it. on the boeing front the president is getting updates on the investigation. the president says hopes boeing can figure out the problem quickly. he also wants the planes back in the air saying it eights wonderful company. the faa grounded the planes until further notice. it could be a couple months before a fix could be available as soon as they figure out what the cause is. neil: interesting, a couple months. those black boxes arrived in france as you heard. a former ntsb official joins us. is that couple month time frame accurate to you? does that sound plausible? >> at this time might be plausible if we get quick reads

on recorders, i remind you they have been sitting on them for five days. it is really disappointing that the ethiopiaians didn't share those recorders with a laboratory that could read them out. what if on those recorders there is something critically wrong with this airplane? neil: yeah. >> we just allowed the airplanes to continue to fly until we put them on the ground with a critical play in them? that would be beyond the pale. neil: you know what i didn't understand. i thought the same thing, john, for different reasons though. it is now, gosh, closing in on a week. it was last sunday all of this happened, openly now has france gotten these black boxes. they were originally meant to go to germany. the germans effective say said, you know, we don't know how to deal with these. they are a little bit new, a little bit different. they went to france. valuable time has been lost. what do you think potentially could be or you fear could be lost on the boxes? >> the real fear, something critical in the flight control

system or maybe some software glitches are sitting there waiting to cause another problem. fortunately the airplanes are on the ground. but we did have exposure three or four days of our airplanes flying which is really, really terrible. neil: i'm sorry. >> the international community will have some questions to ask and get answered on how this could happen. the u.n. has the icao, in place with a whole bunch rules who put order how we conduct the accident investigations. clearly this was not followed in this case. neil: i would imagine, what we have in the united states, not trying to be territorial about it, is the most advance type of black box checking in the world. i could be mistaken but maybe they, the yepians -- ethiopians are reluctant because the united states is manufacturer. how are these things decided? >> ethiopia owns the data.

ethiopia gets to pick wherever it goes. the british, the dutch, the french, germans, didn't have the latest technology. they all have the latest technology. so you can't just say i don't want to send it to the u.s. there is plenty of other places you can send it to. neil: okay. >> but the important piece is get that data. neil: tell me a little bit what we'll get from those black boxes, what you hope to get. there is a lot in there, right? >> there is hundreds of parameters. in fact well over 300 parameters. so they're going to tell you what position of the switches all over the airplane are. what, were they flying with the mcas system on or off? were they flying the autopilot on or off? did they pull back on the yoke? how much did they pull back? how much bank did they put? it will tell you not only what the pilots did but what the airplane did so you can compare the two. the amount of data on these recorders is just staggering. if this did this, and this did this, then you can deduce what

something else did as well. so it is really important that we get the data. i just can't believe they held on to it as long as they did. neil: hopefully no harm will be done. you are right to raise concerns that you did, john, thank you very much. john goglia, former ntsb official. the french at least have their hands on the data right now. if you recall the global freezing of planes, no one will use them, let them get into the airspace, it technically started with china. that was curious development. to market watcher greg valliere what he makes after that. the chinese are trying to build aerospace industry of our own to compete with the likes of airbus and boeing. what do you make of that? >> i thought it was a little provocative. it showed continued friction between the two countries. i got to say, neil, all the market optimism we get something done by the end of the month in

mar-a-lago, i think that optimism is way, way overdone. neil: do you really? >> i don't think we'll get a deal by end of the month. there is so much to be resolved. i'm not sure if president xi will come. he will be in europe. i'm not sure he will go to mar-a-lago without a deal done. that happened with the north koreans. that really backfired. there has to be a deal done in advance before xi arrives. neil: the latest consensus, this was weighing on the markets earlier today, greg as you know, a deal if any, would be pushed off until at least april. >> yeah. neil: they took that in some restraint. if they get pushed beyond that, we will get a little impatient, right? >> there are two really big issues. the role of intellectual property. the role of chinese controlled companies. most importantly, getting a verifiable, credible, mechanism to basically assert that the chinese are complying with these terms. you know the idea that we can get this done by the end of march, very unlikely. i think the deal comes maybe,

around the first of may, something like that. neil: all right. it has to be as you said the more you wait for something the more you expect for something, right? gone i think are the dice that we would be okay with the chinese buying more soybeans or committed to buy buying more american cars. you have to get into the intelligence, protecting any infringement. there i think it does up the ante what the final deal should look like, right? >> yes. the president said i will not rush that. i would rather have an agreement in principle and iron out the details. that is not acceptable to the chinese to get a agreement in principle and iron out all the details. they want all the details ironed out before they meet with him. neil: the beto o'rourke announcement, the president was quick to criticize his hand movements today, i wonder what you make of the democratic field thus far as someone who follows

this closely? >> o'rourke is hard to handicap. biden is the favorite. o'rourke said something interesting today, he said i'm a capitalist, unabashedly. if he wants the moderate path that will perhaps create problems for joe biden. neil: he is also saying he likes the green deal, right? >> yeah. he says that. so there is some inconsistencies. i think that rookies make rookie mistakes. i think that will be a problem, perhaps for him. but he will be a player. i think he will be in this race for a long time. neil: thank you, my friend. always good to catch up. greg valliere, uncanny read of these things. by the way as we were speaking here, say what you will of beto o'rourke whether you like him or no him, he has an uncanny way to raise money. what made him so impressive in the race against ted cruz, a race i point out that he lost. he raised a lot of money, a lot was coming from the outside of texas that we know. but know that more than half of it was coming in small denominations, 10, 15, 25 bucks

at a time? that is something to watch. we'll explain after this. (bird chirping) lots to do, hope you fuelled up. sure did. that storm sure ripped through. yep, we gotta fix that fence and herd the cattle back in. let's get at it. (whistle) (dog barking) (♪)

>> i come from a red state where we were already spoken for, written off. it wasn't worth the competition or the effort. we were able to put texas in play and frankly for the next nominee, 38 electoral votes in play. i think i was able to show by going to every single county that we will leave no one behind. that no one will be forgotten. neil: he is in. he was referring to texas, 38 electoral votes there. a safely republican state. last democrat to win it was jimmy carter in 1976. does he have a shot at it. he came within a few points, but lost to ted cruz.

it was razor thin but not super, super close. he is fund-raising powerhouse. what happens and what we'll see? let's ask "washington examiner" kelly jane torrence. what do you think? >> things are getting a little interesting now, aren't you neil? beto o'rourke raised more than any other senate candidate in history. neil: is that right? >> 40 million what he raised came from small donors. i don't want to make too much of that in a way because of course he was trying to unseat ted cruz, who is one of the most hated republicans amongst liberals. so a lot of them wanted to donate money. let's face it a lot of republicans are not really fond of cruz either. he was facing someone no one really liked. a lot of people, eastern across the country wanted to donate to him to unseat cruz. he came close but didn't do it. he is a great fund-raiser. neil: where is the mix of those, we have 200 guys running right now. in all seriousness, all

candidates likely we'll be seeing where is he in the mix? do you put him in the top tier, what do you think? >> there is 15 right now but we know there is going to be more. we're hearing biden will run anytime soon. right now of course, biden who hasn't announced, sanders are the two top but beto is right up there. given the fact he hasn't held the senate. was in the house six years. he is doing quite well. he is very different from a lot of other candidates. he doesn't have a signature policy issue. he does mention immigration. what he is doing is trying to bring people together. his message is vague but hopeful. neil: sounds a lot like barack obama whose total experience going into the presidency was four years in the senate. in fact, two years into his senate run he was already running for president of the united states. it didn't hurt him. so i think this, dismissive view we get on the part of republicans could come at their peril here. >> yeah. neil: we're told that, you know,

barack obama himself is impressed with him. obama operatives are impressed with him. what do you think? >> i think the analogy is a very good one, neil. of course barack obama's slogan was, yes, we can. if you look at things beto o'rourke was saying on announcing it had the same message. he said that the country is facing real peril. he said, but i can't do this, i can't fix it alone. i need your help. , it also i think was a real contrast to president trump who often said during the campaign there were real problems and only he could fix them. beto o'rourke is trying to say i need you. i need everyone to help. he is really, you know, his message is definitely, hopeful, optimistic one, trying to bring people together. that has a lot of resonance for people who are sick of the real polarization of washington right now. i at this, i think he really connects with people on a personal level.

and, yeah, while he hasn't, doesn't have a signature policy achievement yet, in a way that is good for him, he hasn't angered anyone with specifics. neil: sometimes can be seen as clean slate, you can write in anything you want, can't you? >> exactly. sometimes that vagueness, it can really bring a lot of people in. he is now going to be spending three days in iowa connecting with people. that is really what he does best. he went to every county in texas, when he was running for senate. that is one of the things he is really good at. neil: absolutely. >> none of the democrats should underestimate him. he was actually i think a little reluctant to run. i think he did it because so many people want ad fresh face. you know, he is in his mid 40s. i believe about 46. the top two candidates are in their 70s. i think a lot of people, not just democrats, everyone is being looking for a little bit of fresh, some fresh ideas, some fresh blood. maybe beto will be able to provide them. neil: you young people are always the same way. kelly jane torrence, thank you

very, very much. good seeing. >> you thanks, neil. neil: i had a chance to talk to howard schultz of course the starbucks kingpin. become a billionaire selling a lot of very pricey lattes and the rest. he wants to run for president. not as democrat but independent. he thinks he has a very good chance at that you will hear a little bit. the last guy that was third party entrant did amongst the most successfully in american history. he made history too. after this.

neil: all right. now "the new york times" is reporting that facebook problems have gotten worse. now that they are under a criminal investigation. this of course as it experienced power outages that affecting everything from the facebook site itself to some of its core apps like instagram and whatsapp. market watch tech editor jeremy owens on what all of this means. what do you think, bud? >> i don't think the criminal investigation will lead to much

unless they find something else. they have an opportunity to get in there to look at some stuff. they will subpoena some stuff to look at but what the "new york times" reported does not sound like in any way it will be criminal. it is the corporate equivalent of probation violation, right? and only entity that has facebook on probation is the ftc, already reportedly negotiating a multibillion-dollar fine so that get probably wrapped into. i don't see a criminal investigation unless they find something more. neil: i always do. i don't want to be cynical about it. i wonder where there is smoke there could be hearings, government hearings. we heard from the likes of elizabeth warren, even rupert murdoch in different area, hey, maybe we break these guys up? >> sure, sure, but if you look at it, compare this to cambridge analytica, right? cambridge analytica had no agreement with consumers whose data it received and these are

two entities that users have agreed to have their data used by, right? so for example, netflix and facebook communicating. so it is not as drastic as the cambridge analytica thing which did not lead to criminal charges, at least not yet. so i don't think this is the kind of thing that will get to that level. neil: but i'm wondering, obviously weighing on that particular stock today other tech issues were alleviated a bit, but it's a constant cloud over the company s that justified? >> sure, sure it is. but if you look at earnings for the full year, they did great again, right? if you're talking about the stock, this will not really hurt the stock as long as they continue to make gobs of money. facebook is now under the largest cloud last year than i have ever seen from a company and they made gobs of money. neil: there was fear there would be a customer drain. i haven't seen evidence of that? >> their earnings, users went up

a little bit in the fourth quarter. until consumers start to vote with their eyeballs and get away from facebook, get away from instagram, all these things, there will be no real consequences for facebook especially from financial standpoint. neil: always great to see you. jeremy owens, market watch tech editor. >> thank you. neil: president will gather with congressional leaders the annual luncheon with the irish prime minister. it's a good event. it's a nice event. i wish all foreign leaders could have prominent big day on capitol hill. we let bygones, be bygones and we hug. oh, what am i thinking. us as people. they see us as profits.

we're paying the highest prescription drug prices in the world so they can make billions? americans shouldn't have to choose between buying medication and buying food for our families. it's time for someone to look out for us. congress, stop the greed. cut drug prices now. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist.

neil: all right. you might have heard about this, former white house economic advisor gary cohn blasting the white house when it comes to tariffs. key prince bills there, peter navarro wilbur ross, among others. charlie gasparino is following

this. what do you think? >> that is funny, my sources at the white house as he was blasting them on tariffs and play were saying this. president trump and his economic team they were saying, current ones, guys like steve mnuchin, wilbur ross would be in the group, those folks believe there will be a significant stock market pop if they do a significant deal with china. the number that they're bounding around now this, may be wishful thinking, take it for what it is worth, trumpian excess, you know, listen you work for donald for a while you get involved in exaggerations as well, kind of like drinking the kool-aid. neil: you will bring out the never-trumpers. >> i hope so. if they get a significant deal, 2,000 point, using number internally, 2,000 point on the dow. neil: in a day. >> over time. the market will provide impetus to further move the markets up about 2,000 points. neil: that is less than 10%. >> right. neil: doing it in one day is another matter. >> i don't think it will go one

day. still you would be buying the dow if you believe it. is there any market logic to this? i will say this, when i talk to sophisticated investors market priced in a kick the can down the road bs deal. sew if you do something like, yeah, you give us a few bushels of hey, we'll give you this, you know, doesn't amount to that much -- neil: longer it goes on the more the pressure to make sure it is worth the wait. >> right. there is a political argument i will address in a second. they are saying if it is kick the can down the road, it is priced in. but if there really is something that addresses all the concerns that has real tooth to it. that is does, even addressing the theft of intellectual property, this thing has the potential to move stocks, at least in the near term, significantly higher. that is what is, significant investors are telling me. now, how, the political argument is very interesting on waiting. get it closer to the election, and take the market pop as part

of the political benefit. there is some thought they're looking to work this out farther out. maybe into the summer, into next year. so it is close to 2020, so it is, right around the time where they can start bragging, look at market as -- neil: funny i was talking to a republican operative not too long ago said, one thing we realized from the george bush, sr. experience when he looked unbeatable after liberating kuwait, it was done by '91. a year before the election where the economy suddenly overshadowed everything. they're cognizant of the timing. >> they are. remember with george hw you're talking about, the economy was kind of lousy the year before he ran. it started improving during the election but he never got any bounce for that, because thoughts were baked in, disconnected -- neil: third and fourth quarter 92 we were coming out of it. >> we were coming out of it. neil: you only see, feel later. >> trump and his economic team, larry kudlow knows this stuff

inside and out, timing on this stuff, they really think they can get a pop, they have to do it right, sold to the markets as significant. and there is some thought that the longer they way, kind of like the biden calculus. the longer he waits to get in, democratic primary -- neil: beto stole his thunder. >> all of sudden, beto will come out start attacking beto. neil: do you know it is beto. they said it is beto. >> he tries to pass himself off as half hispanic. is he half hispanic? it is roberto, beto. neil: understood. let me ask you about that, the pop in the market, the president made a comment about o'rourke -- >> hand gestures. neil: hand gestures, low energy bush, trying to typecast someone, provide an image of someone, is he already doing that with the players?

>> will be interesting how he comes after biden, if you know joe biden, he has a temper on the size of trump's, he will fight back. neil: oh, yeah. >> jeb bush never, jeb is not that type of guy. he is a policy guy, you know. neil: he is gentleman. old school. >> he doesn't go there. joe biden is going to be calling him a lot of names if he gets into the race. so one thing that chris christie told me, it was at one of his book events, a guy's apartment, rich guy in manhattan, steve cohen. neil: why should you go to barnes & noble for book signing? >> it was at steve's. a place in the city. chris says if he makes names, watch people he makes names on, then he doesn't respect you. neil: interesting. i respect you. i also respect the president of the united states who is about to speak at this annual event celebrating the irish. >> this is my third one. it is happening so fast, who would have thought. the first i remember. the second i remember very well.

this is the third. so time flies but madam speaker, i want to thank you very much for those lovely remarks and congratulations on the irish grandchildren. that is pretty good. [laughter]. also i want to thank our vice president, mike pence, who is with us today. [applause] all of the distinguished members of congress, which we actually have many, and are many wonderful irish friends as we begin our celebration of st. patrick's day. this afternoon we're delighted to join all in welcoming taoiseach who i have gotten to know very well. my friend, we discussed a lot of things with great interest to all of us in the oval office. in particular we talked about brexit. something that is turning out to be a little more complex than they thought it would be, but it will ought work out, everything

does, one way or the other it is going to work out but yet a very interesting view on it. i appreciate you hitting me know what is going on over there. very, very tough situation. i also want to thank ireland's ambassador, daniel mu l.h. all. thank you very much, daniel, i appreciate it. and the entire irish delegation being with us today. the united states and ireland are bound together with ties of kinship and friendship. it's a great friendship, like, rarely does any country have with another. our we share family, faith and freedom. our relationship is strong and resilient as the great irish people are strong and resilient. since america's founding men and women of irish descent have extentenned our nation beyond measure n every war since the american revolution, irish-americans have fought with distinction to win our

independence, to preserve our union and defend our way of life and nobody has done it like the irish. they do it with flair. they do it with brilliance. they moved our hearts with timeless works of art, literature and music. irish-americans have also answered the call to serve our nations at the highest levels of government and you look at the united states supreme court you look in the halls of congress and throughout my administration, a lot of irish. they're all over the place, right, mike? [laughter]. as an example, mike, you have your sister annie here today. where is annie? very nice to have you. that's very good. [applause] serious irish, that is what i'm hearing. nice to have you, an any, thank you. many members of congress in the room also trace their roots to ireland including house minority leader kevin mccarthy. kevin, thank you very much. what a good job you're doing.

how is he doing, nancy, okay? you have a little advantage. [laughter]. she has a little advantage but that is okay. but he is doing okay. good, thank you, kevin, very much. senator pat leahy. patrick, thank you very much. appreciate it. and cochairs of the friends of ireland caucus, rich neil and peter king. thank you very much. where is peter? where is peter? peter, thank you very much. we see each other here and lots of other places. you're doing a great job. thank you very much, peter. >> from queens. >> from queens on top of everything from queens. this afternoon we're proudly joined by house majority leader steny hoyer and, steny, thank you very much. steny, stand up. come on, steny. you worked hard. come on, stand up, steny. [applause] thank you. congressman eliot engel. thank you very much. thanks, elliot. i appreciate very much.

neil: it is all the talk in new york. gambino crime family boss, frank cali, shot and killed in staten island, not manhattan. that is big no-no, that whoever hit him and rubbed him out broke mob etiquette. author himself, my love in the movies, actor, johnny russo. >> my pleasure. i thought you don't love me no more. i haven't been on in a while. neil: you were writing a book. the time is interesting. first time we've seen something like that going back to 1985. >> i know. my best man, tommy biloti. that he was the driver for paul. neil: john castellano ordered by him to take him out of as far as steakhouse. >> john was on the corner with john watching. sammy sitting next to him. that is when they were still friends. neil: a lot of people say the

mob is gone, mob influence is gone. you say they move on to other influences? >> i do many interviews. they say there is no such thing as the mob anymore. i say okay. neil: apparently not. they gone into other areas now, right? >> probably, i mean they did go into legitimate business. they have so much cash and now they are finding ways to get in there. this year is totally, this definitely was not a mob hit. neil: you think it was outside group? >> first of all, as in any hit, they never kill them in front of the house with kids in the house. his kids were home. 9:30 at night besides. neil: do you know how they lured him out? >> i think they just waited for him. he got out of his car. neil: you know, you're associated with the, that i always think of you, carlo riii character but you were actually in the mob? >> no. i was on the periphery. i never wanted to join the club.

i know how it worked. i was a messenger for so many people. neil: doesn't that make awe mob figure? >> not made. you said made. i'm not made. i don't want to be made. you know, the original name of this book was don't shoot the messenger because i was a messenger. i would have never gotten involved with jfk's assassination or marilyn's death. neil: i'm not, i found that one almost too incredible to believe. not that i want to doubt you. you kahn be a violent guy if you want to be. >> no. neil: you were 20 years old at the time, right. >> 21, right. neil: a mob figure was meeting with you, slips you an envelope, right? wants you to give it to somebody in new orleans. >> frank costello. frank costello. i was working for frank all my life. not all my life, since i was like 13. neil: he said, kid i want you to deliver this envelope to this other figure. >> see what happened though, i was doing that two years prior for the elections because i was

visiting all these people when joe kennedy approached frank costello, said i want my son to become president. i need you all to cooperate, meaning all the union heads all that. he says if you do that, we're going to invade cuba, get your casinos back. it was a win-win for everybody. neil: they know that kennedy had abandoned them and they were angry? >> bobby was the won influenced his brother, no missiles on island. you can't do this. now they got nothing. and bobby starts going after them. neil: so they got annoyed at that? >> they were furious at that? >> oh, my god. neil: do you know when he told you to bring this to the figure in new orleans. >> yes. carlos -- [inaudible] neil: you were never tempted to open the envelope? >> i never, i was carrying envelopes four or five years all over the country. neil: you figured it was cash. >> it had to be. anybody after a while --

neil: in retrospect you discovered on a ship getting out of town that castellano also arranged? >> he made that arrangement. neil: didn't want anything to happen to you. >> people don't realize, there were 73 other deaths that were all connected to anybody -- neil: you're saying the mob was behind the killing of jfk? >> mob, one group. neil: you said you bumped into a thin, scrawny white guy who looked a whole lot later, two and two together in that new orleans restaurant. >> i had to go to the bathroom. he said somebody's in there. i waited for this guy come out. he almost bumped into me. i didn't pay attention to him. the next day or two days, now it comes over on the telex, that was the guy i bumped into was lee harvey as wad. neil: right. if you're right, narrative says the mob was behind the killing of the president and oswald was in that -- >> he was in the mix. they convinced him if he shot the president, he was going to go to cuba because fidel castro,

this guy was a communist already. they mustered him out of the united states. neil: in new orleans, i forgot about that. go to marilyn monroe and your connection with her. you would have been 16 at the time. >> shampoo boy at lily -- neil: did you have relationship with marilyn? >> no. it turned into hugs that grew into something else over the next few years. neil: but you allege in the book that she did in fact have relations with jfk and robert. >> oh, my god, yeah. everybody knew that. neil: she was about to tell -- >> go public. see -- neil: you think she was murdered? >> the reason she was at calneva they were going to try to set her up blackmail two others like j. edgar of hoover in chicago. they caught him cross-dressing. he always denounced the mob until the valachi papers. neil: mayor monroe thing she was

murdered. jfk you allege was -- people say there is no way to prove it. no way to prove it. one thing is very clear. you're a bipartisan basher. you were not a fan of nancy reagan. >> none. neil: why? >> she was crazy. neil: you liked ronald reagan. >> he was in control of everybody around him, you know that. luauser man was the president. neil: what was the first incident that ticked you off? >> with her? neil: yeah. >> her attitude. even when she was, she said, it was a funny story, my friend owns what would be lebistro, now maestro's, that used to be lebistro restaurant on canada drive. anytime you there, i own it. he introduced to me to people on the phone, we were in the parma house in chicago, anytime the kid is there he signs. she was a bad actress, i didn't even like her. now she is the first lady. i just finished with movie with

tony curtis called louie lepke. he played lewis buck alter we finished movie. she comes in with the state police and all. that they keep looking at us. we thought they were looking at us. jimmy comes over, can you please move? move your to another table. nancy always sits here. i said -- neil: first lady of california. >> of california. neil: not later on. >> yeah. so i said, listen, you call shak up, it was his table. call sydney to tell me to get up i will get up. she is the first lady. i'm not from california. i don't even heard her. she overhears me. they move out. i had another run-in when she became president -- neil: when she was. she remembered your face. >> oh, did she ever. neil: marlon brando, everyone know he was carlo rizzi in "the

godfather." duplicitous, marriage cheating son-in-law. i'm wondering that experience wasn't as cozy or rosie as i thought. brando at first wasn't impressed with you. what was the story? >> well he didn't know who i was. nobody did actually because i never was on a set before. neil: how did francis ford coppola picked you is? >> he didn't. neil: who did? >> i was assigned i helped resolve problems with the labor. joe colombo was picketing fbi build -- neil: so you did have italian friends. >> thank goodness. from mulberry street. neil: marlon brando looking at new kid, who the hell are you? >> it was funny. call sheet came out. i was never on a set before. it said at bottom of the call sheet, no eye contact with brando. don't approach him. neil: i tell my staff same thing. >> now we get our first break. came over to me. i said i ain't breaking the law. he says to me you're a big tv actor? i says no.

you have a big movie coming out? i said no. you're not on broadway. i know everybody on broadway. i know that. what did you study, who did you study with. i didn't, talk about study, study what? he calls coppola over. he says francis, this guy plays my son-in-law francis i know. he didn't pick me. he breaks down the script. i didn't know how important carlo's character irreally was. neil: you're get worried role of a lifetime is being ripped from you. >> i had a party. everybody at my party. you're not in that movie. i'm in the movie. no way. now this guy will get me fired. i will never be back in the neighborhood. they all think i'm lying. so now, i don't know what your protocol. francis come over here a minute. i dismissed director. everybody is looking at me. next thing i put my arm on brando, because i don't want to embarass him. i walk him, like out of earshot of everybody. i turn close to my face, i

didn't want nobody to hear. i will clean it up for television. let me tell you something. you screw this up for me, i will suck on your heart. he looked at me, he stepped back and, he said that was great acting. neil: you were not acting. >> no. neil: you became -- >> i became an actor. neil: till the send. >> it was great. neil: it's a great book. great read. a lot of interesting stuff. a lot of history there. you can choose to believe, not believe, a lot of chapters. i will not question anything, because this guy separately killed two people. that is whole another story for whole another interview. >> 23 other indictment mass. how can we prove it? get the news clips and indictments and wiretaps. neil: look at the time. gianni you, thank you very much. my love in the movies and the mob. it's a fast read. more after this. it's screening technology that helps you find a stock

neil: i'm just happy to be alive after that last interview appeared welcome, everybody. i'm yoko bhutto. it is thursday. that must mean there's another thing going on in parliament. as you know, the formal breakaway in the part of britain from the rest of europe slated to be march 29th good to measure on the table to push it back. what are we looking at now? >> we are looking that the house of commons and if you think the u.s. congress is that this functional, this is what you're seeing here in the u.k. as they talk around and around to try and get a deal. today is to extend article l, the brexit deadline to june 30th. if you can get some sort of plan deal may commence the e.u. the u.k. needs that extra time in order to get the deal approved by parliament.

now you're seeing the lawmakers are working out a series of amendments again today, for amendments be united to include a second referendum. parliamentary control the situation, extend the deal to find a majority deal in parliament, but also prevent the prime minister from holding a meaningful vote. he is already had to use an embarrassingly defeated by a spirit one saying he can't come back because you know it's going to be defeated. i know it's in the weeds. the brexit deadline is march march 29th. today is the 14th just over two weeks away tomorrow. no closer after three years of negotiations as they are now. it's been a rotten week for theresa may. i said this yesterday and i think it's even more true today. she's losing control of her party and she very well could lose control of parliament in her future very much up in the

air. treacher that would take someone in the party to step up and maybe they're not inclined to do that because they'd rather not have garbage on their lot. >> that's very true. they called a no-confidence vote they would lose. do you really want to lose this stage? probably not. what she will tell the the parliament is it is my ideal or we are stuck in the e.u. through june 30th if the e.u. allows us and we could be stuck for years. brexit may not have been. neil: there's been a lot of fear mongering on this. you said something very interesting where you could have been loved more to lose than britain en masse. regardless of what happens this year strikes that have been raised that britain will build to get their hands on that is ridiculous. i think they would be concerned

that if england successfully bolted others might be tempted to parliament. >> absolutely. the hobbit government right now. they would look at it ashley webster. the formal break of britain from the rest of europe. we'll see how that goes. trying to get a gauge on how the grounding of these planes is going. jeff flock is at chicago o'hare airport i'm not. >> a lot of cancellations on the board here this is the american terminal at o'hare. some as a result of weather. some of the results of 737 groundings. united flight for 17 we've been

tracking these for impact. you've got a notice it has been canceled because the faa grounding all the 737 max. take that and compare with the other flight from united 991 houston to san diego was flying to max nine. why is that? because they cancel another group somewhere also brought in a 737900 series. that is the older aircraft to replace that max nine. just because you are flying, doesn't mean your flight is canceled. it might mean you weren't flying and that was canceled. here's what america had to say about it all. on average, and 85 flights a day out of 6700 departures every

day. 85 flights will be canceled but again it may not be a max flight because they move things around. a small price to pay for safety. turning to the faa saying it could be months before they see a fix for at least the next eight planes. keep in mind it could be a while before we know exactly what the black boxes will tell us from ethiopian airline crash. radcliffe on how all of this is likely to drag on. will it drag on? would you think? >> i think the bad news is this could go months. we could be looking at the end of the year. we could be looking at the beginning of next year. part of the equation here is to determine exactly what happened conclusively. not even at the halfway mark and

of course the accident investigation from this past weekend just began and that is going to take several months to have a pulmonary report not for several more months after that. investigations can go eight to 10, sometimes 12 months in advance and it's outside the control of the national transportation safety board with regards to which players are involved. you can actually go even longer than that. the bad news is this is an extended issue. we are talking about three airlines out of the time carriers that are affected. of those three with united southwest and american may have 2500 aircraft pier 72 of those are affected. you are talking about less than 2% of the home buying fleet of those airlines. it is going to be minimal unless you're one of those individuals. neil: boeing of course for these carriers as they have thousands waiting on the spot.

i don't know where those stand and what that could mean going forward. any thoughts? >> oiliness certainly concern. they have confidence in the aircraft and they should. it's been for the last 50 years and it continues to be an aircraft that's incredibly popular with airlines around the world. once they get this identified in the network up of six it is basically passed on the airlines and the training takes place. is there still an issue as far as confidence of the individuals there'll be nations such as we saw with the united nations that even after these airplanes come back, some of these companies will tell their employees don't say these airplanes until we know they're going to be okay. it is typical. they will not bounce back

quickly. passengers involved they are saying what will they as far as my flight been canceled and unfortunately because it's a cancellation outside of the airlines control, basically airlines are only required to post on their next available flight rather than rerouting the carrier. they will push this just a bit mitel individuals i'm a nationwide appearance is to make sure if you have a complaint, don't go to the airlines. take it to the government. d.o.t..gov on any airline related complaint. it will get addressed and you get much more timely response. aviation analysts on all this. the black rocks as sarin authorities hands. they launched their own investigation. meanwhile, the latest on not college admissions scandal and the story of a $500 billion

class-action lawsuit. here comes the judge. want more from your entertainment experience?

neil: all right, i'm the lawsuit now 500 million a civil one. lauren simonetti on the latest fallout. >> of a feeling we are talking about this for quite some time. a $500 billion civil suit filed by a parent accusing 45 defendants of fraud and inflict emotional distress because rich parents thought it was okay to pay as much a $6.5 million to get their kids into elite schools and as much as $75,000 to up their test scores. that's not all. two stanford students claim

class-action status and alleges that usc camille, georgetown and other universities denied them a fair opportunity for admission and in the process they allege their degrees are devalued. some of the colleges are responding to this. all applicants connected to the scam will be denied admission and for those already enrolled there will be a case-by-case review. that includes laura lockwood's two daughters, olivia and isabella. paid to get them into usc is rowing ricky recruits even though neither one of them have ever picked up in order. so far, no students have been charged in the scam rocking hollywood to cape cod. neil: it is amazing. when you look at the price tag of these schools, they are about $6 million. a little exaggeration there. thank you, lauren very, very much. let's go to judicial analyst

andrew napolitano. that's a big one. >> the one by the two stanford students is absurd. their allegations as their lives of the devalued because they went to stanford instead of el. i don't think they'll be able to prove their case. in each of these lawsuits, you have lawyers in california seeking to represent the class. everybody who applied to those colleges in the 10 year period that this scam was going on and did not get in. that is an enormous number of people in the theory is this is a valid part of the theory. the university had a duty to know what was being done by its administrators and coaches with the authority. they have a tennis coach and he's admitting to people that never played tennis because he's been bribed to do so. stanford should've known not and

can't be held responsible for it. cases like this are impossible to prove. how could you possibly prove a half trillion dollars in damage? how could you diminish the lifestyle because you went to stanford instead of going to yale. >> you know legal history better than anyone. in the case of affirmative action, it became feels like he had a minority less experience. >> know, those do not succeed. what is the difference between this and some other gives $3 million to put their name on the engineering building and the children happens to apply within six months. 3 million is a lawful, charitable, tax deductible donation. is it also a bribe? neil: when you're paying off

coaches. >> and are actually cheating. there's no question this violated numerous federal statutes. the question is who is responsible for it other than the people that were at the core of it who benefited. but neil, some of the parent were taken out of homes by 5:30 in the morning by fbi agents. the way they arrested roger stone. the million dollars cash bail on a nonviolent case. the courts are going overboard here. dream to let me get your sense of where this goes. actress lori loughlin, she was on the post of the $1 million bail. what kind of jail time could she be looking out if found guilty in all this? >> i don't think the parents will go to jail at all. i think the only people that will go to jail will be the

people that orchestrated it. now, in the past 24 hours, dear for straighter, the fellow seemed are common there are 32 families involved. guess how many people he says he helped get into college? 750. so what are a lot of these parents going to do? the most successful good effect immediately and will give you the name of five of our friends who also did this and this will expand and expand and expand. look, the feds did the right thing in bringing this down. they may have overcharged him have overcharged come and use too much for us, terms of their goal to get crime out of the application process for schools is which you expect law enforcement to do to find that they just touched the tip of the iceberg. neil: what about the students in there now? >> that's a good question. to accuse a student just for the

hypothetical sake and still got all a's, what are you going to do? kick a person now? someone under the law school or med school. what are you going to do about the clients of the head of a major wall street law firm whose no longer head of the firm and no longer welcome there. neil: i didn't ink about that. the whole facebook data thing, criminal investigators, >> it is tough to figure out what they're up to. facebook has a consent decree with the federal trade commission. violation of a consent decree ordinarily is not a criminal act and doesn't provoke the interest of federal prosecutors. they may be thinking of a very novel use of the anti-hacking laws. so the anti-hacking laws prevent a person from unauthorized entry into someone else's e-mail and digital data. facebook century was not

unlawful. what was unlawful was the distribution to others. that facebook do that and make cash off it? that might be what the fed is looking for. did they? of course they did. not going to give that information away for nothing. but did they tell the people whose information was given away which could be you or me or anyone watching us now that they made money off of their personal information. neil: the stock as a result and say there's your finances. >> usually they don't. that is the likely outcome of this. neil: judge, thank you very, very much. beto o'rourke saying the economy is in crisis. is he right? i think bobby jindal disagrees.

the [ telephone rings ] [ client ] - hey maya.

hey! you still thinking about opening your own shop? every day. i think there are some ways to help keep you on track. and closer to home. edward jones grew to a trillion dollars in assets under care, by thinking about your goals as much as you do. >> those who propose and have

promoted big, bold ideas of the green new deal, we are showing all this stuff is connected. the climate is connected to the economy. the climate change we've already seen. we need to make sure we make that right and bring everybody into that process and i think we need a president with that advice. >> is that a lot of hand movement. i've never seen so much and movement. is he crazy or is that just the way he acts? i've never seen hand movement. [inaudible] >> collaborators all take them on. neil: all right, is that the way of the president way of labeling. hillary clinton, job which, i don't know whether he ever did that. bobby jindal, former louisiana governor. always good to have you.

neil: thank you for having -- >> thank you for having me. neil: what you make of him saying he wants to focus on the hand gestures. he wants to make you think all right, that's the extent of his six areas. he's not ready for prime time. when using? >> a couple of things. i have been outfoxed on me this morning. i saw someone's remarks than i did have the volume on. it looked like he was dancing. even for president trump who said that, i had that same initial thought. when i watch this candidate, reminds me of president obama and i don't mean that as a compliment. i see someone who's a very smooth talker, very polished, hasn't done a whole lot. i see some of the press has fallen in love with. it's almost embarrassing. there's one thing i do like about him. one of my favorite things in the democratic candidate. he's a candidate who spent a lot of money to his races reduce its

$60 million was in the texas senate race. if you want to spend a ton of money to lose that would be great. neil: if you think about it, barack obama became senator in 2004. two years later he's announcing a run for president. that was the end of his experience before he in fact did make it to the white house. those who lose senate races. i'm not comparing those two. there is a precedent here. what do you think? >> one, everybody on social media is about to e-mail you. i know that is not what she meant. the reality as he tried to run as a moderate in texas. the democratic party there is almost taken your seat to reelect donald trump. look at what is going on in the primary. he's going to be no exception. when you look at the greener energy jobs killing deal, and you're talking about over $30 trillion in new spending in the health health care bill to e away health insurance.

tree into he might be trying to stake out in your right to say if you're sort of -- you can kind of fill whatever you want to be. with a nod to the party on climate change and whatever, could that be effective? what do you think. >> all of a sudden all of a sudden elizabeth warren says she is a capitalist, beto o'rourke. the democratic primaries this is a badge of honor. he used to be calling someone a socialist with an insult. now you've got the new congresswoman from new york. being a socialist is more acceptable in the democratic party. if he really means it happily is the private sector and also for single-payer health care system which means the government should control your health care. here's the problem we have with capitalism. we do a great job without creates wealth. we do a great job how if you

want to be able to afford college and health care and all these great benefits and society you need it free-market economy that's looked at 100 million people out of poverty. but we don't talk about enough is the second part of capitalism, which is socialism means more government control. young people don't want to be bureaucrats to tell them how to run their lives or their already frustrated and i'm cynical. they will care less about making consumers happy, more about making politicians happy. just let the government take over health care. but the government take over pay for everybody's college tuition. takeover energy and is emmanuel see political connection. neil: expanded medicare benefits, health benefits will pay for college. people like that kind of stuff. the reason i mention is say what you will of his performance to ted cruz, he did come within a few points of doing so.

i did notice the president won texas by 9%, which is not shabby. but it certainly wasn't by the 27.5% margin that ronald reagan did in the tv before. the state elected a democrat in 76. it's been tough every four years. i'm wondering if that is the sign that texas could turn in those 38 electoral votes if counted on them might not be able to. >> two things. the benefit when it's running for senate. he was running against incumbent who had been there a long time. ted cruz obvious a very conservative. became a celebrity for taking on ted cruz 30 was a fresh new face.

any democrat will have it in donald trump. [inaudible] neil: will enjoy that? i'm just wondering how that goes. they love him. they also love elizabeth warren. they will have plenty of favorites to push. the other challenge is not, democrats want to tell us every four years this is the cycle but when tek texas and georgia. they like to pretend they are permanent majorities. that's not the elections work. you've got to make your case in the voters are donald trump will not win texas simply because it's a red state. he will talk about his economic record. he can talk about making promises and keeping promises but appointing conservative for the military. he can talk about the things he's done. not because you've got a young guy who will say little bit about everything to everybody.

he doesn't take very hard fans. that's not going to work in the primary. elizabeth warren dating him for breaking up. when you got bernie sanders saying i'm for private insurance, what do you think? other candidates say we are for getting rid of hamburgers or fossil fuel overnight and updating every single car in building out there. what works now will not work running for president. the democratic party is making it easier not harder to win reelection. you never know. a pleasure. neil: set to vote on this amendment that come down to can we delay the implementation when britain separates from europe. they're trying to push it back.

what decide on some team. after this.

>> welcome back to "cavuto: coast to coast" spirit and gerri willis on the floor of the new york stock exchange. mom are separate to compete encountering troubles according to "the wall street journal" although the nation's biggest solar groceries at 1.5 million employees in the u.s. a patchwork of independent companies to expand delivery services. the drivers don't always make sense. wal-mart also experiencing with having more employees. down about half a percent today. general electric shares actually turned around after the company warned investors another year of lower profits. shares have lost 27% over the

past 12 months. forecasting of industrial operations will have $2 billion more in cash in a generated in 2019, earning targets were also brought to arrange a 50 cents to 60 cents per share. ge shares are actually higher today. facebook and instagram suffered lengthy damages late wednesday and early today on the east coast. 22 hours and were still investigating the overall impact of the outages including the possibility of refunds for advertisers. they spoke shares today are lower. neil, back to you. neil: thank you very commit very much. across the pond, u.k. parliament voting on amendments. it comes down to the separation of britain from the european union. ashley webster to get a read as

well. where are we right now on this? >> they just had an amendment overwhelmingly objective they went down 334 against 85. bad news. another amendment object by three votes that specifies the deadline should only be it ended until the 30th of june. that too was defeated. a series of these amendments. three more to go and then we'll get to the governments own motion that basically says we have to ask for an extension to june 30th. interested to see how that goes and if theresa may can grill today which he hasn't done for the last couple days. neil: is this going to happen and if it does what then? >> so, i don't know if it's going to happen. there is a lot of powers of being that i've been working to

sabotage the will of the people. it came as a big shock, that you had 53% of the british people voting for that to leave the european union. 17 million voted to leave with the largest referendum in u.k. history. but only 30% of the politicians wanted to leave. a massive disconnect between the ruling class and the people that actually vote on. if it does happen i expect some tomorrow. but every time this is a positive. to think that the u.k. can not negotiate bilateral trade agreement is ridiculous. at one point the u.k. rule the entire world. imagine the trade deal that the u.k. can put together. think about the natural gas they can sell them. a deal that is more spectacular for both nations. the u.k. is one of the european countries that would benefit by

leaving. long run good, short term will clear volatility. neil: what you are saying is the referendum is out of the question sometimes. in other words getting to the people and having them try again. >> why would they have to vote again? you probably get a lot of people devoted to say now voted to leave because you're subverting democracy. neil: i think britain is behind the eight ball here. this is the country that brought us the beatles. yes, all right. do you know what i'm saying, i give the edge to them. >> michael is absolutely right. the u.k. economy and the e.u. in the fifth largest in the world. it can do very well thank you very much about the heartbreak that no deal at all. eventually there will be some short-term pain. but ultimately the u.k. can do some tremendous trade deals around the world without brussels telling them they can't

do it. united dates president trump already saying he is looking forward to expanding the trade relationship between the u.s. in the u.k. 30 huge. $239 billion worth of trade between the two countries. but the members of parliament, they were overwhelmingly doing everything they can to make that not happen. neil: you are watching very closely as the votes go on and on. we will see what ultimately happens. not because of monty python and the beatles, but shakespeare. meanwhile, in treasury secretary stephen mnuchin and capitol hill. the china trade deal and where that takes after this.

>> were doing very well with china talks. the china talks are doing very well. we will see what happens. we are not going to make it. we are moving along at a very high level. neil: concern for the markets of course. positive territory at the end of this month it doesn't look likely between this president and the chinese president, but

it would be more like next month if it happens at all in the near future. charlie gasparino has been reporting it could lead to upwards of the 2000-point in the dow. that would be a run-up that's inconceivable. meanwhile, susan li is following very closely at the brooklyn federal courthouse. reporter: hi there, neil. huawei of course [inaudible] pleading not guilty today on the federal indictment of obstruction of justice and two of its subsidiaries now adjourned until april the fourth. they are calling this a very complex case and they need a lot of discovery.

the other company that federal authorities say huawei used to mislead a. no plea being put in that they couldn't get the notice and whether or not at this point. huawei cdl it is unclear at this point whether her arraignment will take is one in that she's on u.s. territory. she's still in vancouver awaiting the extradition brought to the u.s. as part of this complex negotiation with the trade deal between. neil: susan lay with the latest on that. in the meantime, howard schultz with me yesterday talking about how he thinks is an independent he can become the next president of the united states deacon

cobbled together the electoral votes to do so. the last guy who tried that and scored a lot of popular vote behind the guy who did after this.

. . .

neil: certainly sounds like howard schultz is certainly considering an independent run for president. but getting the electoral vote is a big climb, right. >> let's talk about the theory of the case because i think there is a pathway to 270. if donald trump loses texas, he can't get to 270 and chances are he does not get reelected. if howard schultz decides to run for president, i enter the race, there is a good chance that texas for the first time since '76 does not go republican. neil: but you would have to hope, would have to hope the democrat doesn't get to 270. if none of you do. three running, entrants, it goes to the house, you're not going

to get that vote? >> wait a minute neil. no one knows what will happen. we're 18 months away. neil: you're absolutely right. >> what i do know, the majority of americans, the vast majority of americans want to see common sense solutions to significant problems that both parties will not solve. neil: there might be something to that but still an uphill climb. doesn't former ross perot campaign manager rouse silvered denote it. -- russell verde. he got 19% of the time. no candidate had ever done that but not a single electoral vote. it is very tough to get electoral votes, isn't it? >> honor to be back on the program. yes it would be difficult to the electoral votes. not impossible. no one can get 270 votes. you want to win enough electoral votes stop everybody else from

getting 270. it will go to the house. you have to build in the plan from the beginning, how will you address, house of representatives gets one vote per state. depends on what the make up of the dellgation is which is all republican, democrat, no independent third party. what is your plan for getting those people to honor the plurality vote within the state, allow you opportunity to win the election? it is part of a strategy inherent in independent and third party candidate. neil: what i always wonder about, russell, if you have three candidates in a race, whoever wins the state wins electoral votes for the most part. there are differentenses like maine, i understand. how would, an independent be able to get on top? he used the argument, schultz did, there are really 10 core states that, say an independent could presumably focus on, big number states, texas is one. but what do you think of that strategy? >> i think it is unrealistic, you have to have a 50-state

strategy. wherever you do become the plurality winner in the state hoping the electoral votes go your way, certainly not to the republicans and democrats, gives you a chance to tie it up with nobody getting 270 electoral votes, it then goes into the house. major problem in the house where only republicans and democrats, one vote per state. you have to have a plan very beginning how you get into this how you deal with that. neil: russell, comes down to the impact you could have, as third party candidate, typically seen as spoilers. you and i gotten into this again ross perot was thought to siphon votes away from george bush, sr. at the time. you can make a credible argument that his anti-establishment approach was just as damaging to bill clinton but that is how democrats are portraying schultz because they're the ones who are raising cain over him running as an independent. what do you think? >> well i think that is the same

scenario we saw with ross perot. that the feeling in the bush administration was, we want ross perot in the race to split the anti-incumbent vote. after the election was over, they said well, ross perot is the reason the incumbent lost the election. you can't have it both ways. it's a competition. it is a fair competition. they're all entitled to compete for votes and best candidate should win and you can't take votes from somebody because they don't own them. they don't own any other vote than my own, and they don't own me. they would like to win by default by it's a competition. neil: i like the way you said that. russ, i talked to a lot of schultz operatives, whatever they do it will be early. they won't get in and get out. the rap against your candidate ross perot at the time, he was leading in the summer of 1992. some polls by a lot. he bowed out of the race, came back in. if he had not people say he

would have won it. schultz people are saying plant the strategy early, spend a lot of money early, get on all 50 state ballots, don't bow out of the race, don't take anyone's guff you can make a credible run. what do you think of that? >> absolutely true. ross perot in 1992 got out and get back in the race. neil: why did he do that again? what happened? >> there were three reasons. there was an attempt according to governor conley would disrupt the daughter's wedding day. perot family only marry once. there were couple other things too. exit polling in 1992 is clear that if people thought ross perot could win, this is even after getting out and back in, if they thought he could win he would have actually won the election. schultz, any other independent candidate has a shot at this, they have to do the ballot access which is a major under

undertaking. more you access it less cost in the end. and less you're tied up with things like ballot access. neil: helps you're a billionaire. >> if you have fund raising to do 30 billion-dollar access race, you have to do it right now. if you can finance itself you can wait until march of 2020 at latest to get started. neil: if i ever want to reach out to you, russ, for others to go about this. >> well the perot team got ballot access all across the country twice. '92 and '96. wee have some experience if anybody wants to -- neil: they haven't reached out to you yet? >> not yet. but if anybody wants to get any practical guidance on it we've got the experience. neil: you certainly do. >> it is not a theory with us, neil. neil: no.
