80. >> a day after the bombshell fisa memo becomes public, president trump says it totally, quote vindicates him in the special counsel probe and yet, quote, the russian witch hunt goes on and on. we'll talk about the white house press secretary. plus, the dow drops over 600 points. what does it mean for your 401(k) come monday morning. we'll take you behind the scenes at a high-tech police drill designed to help businesses contain the carnage if there's a mass shooting. hello, welcome to america's news. ♪ hello there, welcome to america's news headquarters on

saturday afternoon from washingt washington. i'm blake burman. neil: it happens every time. and the white house, we'll cover that in a minute. i'm leland vittert. the president is now in mar-a-lago, but he's tweeting and saying the republican memo released yesterday proves he's right about the russia investigation. that memo that we talked about so much yesterday alleges an abuse of surveillance by the fbi and the department of justice. molly heninberg following the very latest here in washington as the fallout continues this weekend. hi, molly. >> hi, leland. president trump long maintained that his campaign did not collude with the russians, and he says that memo backs that up. >> the president says, this totally vindicates trump in probe, but the russia witch hunt goes on and on. there was no collusion and no obstruction, the word now used because after one year looking endlessly and finding nothing,

collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace. the memo details why the secret fisa court gave the okay to carter page, placed in large part on material collected by former british spy christopher steele, who was paid, the memo says, $160,000 by the democratic national committee and the hillary clinton campaign via a law firm and a research firm to dig up dirt on trump's ties to russia. the memo says neither the initial application to surveil tapes, what they're talking about here, in 2016 nor any of the renewals disclose or reference the role of the dnc, clinton campaign, or any party campaign and fund funding of steele's efforts. and only were known to senior doj and fbi officials. and that, republicans say, gets to the heart of what they call

abuse of power by the department of justice and fbi. >> what you have in the middle of an election, the fbi takes research off a political document to a secret court to get a secret warrant to spy on an american citizen and they don't tell the courts who paid for it. >> but the top ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee does not believe the memo vindicates president trump in the investigation which goes beyond carter page. congressman adam schiff just tweeted, quite the opposite, mr. president, the most important fact disgraced in this otherwise shoddy memo was that fbi investigation began july, 2016 with your advisor, popadopolous, talking there with george popadopolous secretly discussing stolen clinton e-mails with the russians. house minority leader nancy pelosi has called the memo, quote, a desperate attempt to distract the american people from the truth about the trump-russia scandal. leland. >> molly heninberg, more to come

in the next couple of hours. molly, thank you. (bell sounding) >> brutal day on the corner of wall and broad. the tightening job market, inflation and bond yields sent wall street into a tumble throughout the day, wall street dropping an ominous, 660 points, and that's 2 1/2% these days. the drop, the biggest percentage decline since last june's brexit decision and the steepest decline since the 2008 financial crisis. and knocked the dow well below 26,000 adding to a more than 1,000 point drop this week. for reaction to that and more let's bring in the white house deputy press secretary, hogan gibbly. we'll get your take on the market, but, first, let's talk about the president's tweet. he said it was a total vindication, the memo was, about the probe, however, house speaker paul ryan said this earlier this week. >> what this is not is an indictment on our institutions

of our justice system. this memo is not indictment of the fbi, of the department of justice. it does not impune the mueller investigation or the deputy attorney general. >> the speaker of the house, says it has nothing to do with, the memo, with the investigation and the president feels vindicated. >> i think you're con fligflatio things. we're talking the highest levels of the fbi and doj. and it's clear from the memo it casts serious doubts and concerns into the integrity of the decisions they made against hillary clinton and this president. when you can use the most intrusi intrusive, surveillance techniques or mechanisms on american citizens, i think everyone in this country should be deeply concerned about that and the impetus about the warrants they push forth in the court was a political document that's full of holes and was

used and paid for by opposition research. i mean, that's very, very damaging and not to mention, they never revealed that to the judge and that's what makes it salacious. >> and the white house feels it vindicates the president. >> it moves toward that end. the president is clear there's no collusion. obviously there's no obstruction. these types of pieces of information that continue to come out, prove the point, there's nothing there and the democrats keep going down this road. we've been completely cooperative with mr. mueller and the special counsel, we've given him documents and time and wasted the taxpayers' money. in the wave of this negativity and this nonsense, this president has record-setting accomplishments in record-setting times. >> i want to read to you something the vice-president said, it raises serious concerns about the i go integrity at the highels levels. does the white house believe

that rod rosenstein-- >> in his position there's no consideration for him to leave at this time. >> the democrats have a memo of their own and the white house put out a statement, your colleague, sarah sanders, that he would be fully open to releasing this memo leak he did the republicans? >> way i want to be clear, we follow proper procedures, we'd use the same for the republican memo as the democrat memo and the differences could not be more stark. we did this in a reasonable, rational process with bringing in the relevant stakeholders, members of the white house counsel, members of the national security team. democrats instead leak it to the new york times. that's the difference. >> there's another big story coming up here the next five days and that's needing to pass a government spending bill by thursday or else there will be a shutdown like we saw a few weeks ago. where do things stand on this from the white house's perspective? >> well, look, the schumer

shutdown obviously hurt the country and put at risk military families and their families and 8.9 million children who rely on the federal government for insurance. but exposed them for their stance and their stance is clear, they would rather shut down the government and put those groups i mentioned at risk, over protection, hundreds of thousands of people here unlawfully and illegally as opposed to americans citizens. that's where the democrats stand. i believe the pressure is such and the american people are seeing the difference. when the president offers a package that gives them three times the amount of pathway to citizenship than president obama did, they ought to be on board with that, it's rational and 70% issue for daca and 70% for the people to get border security and chain migration. >> before we go, the market, the president and this administration has been pumping up this stock market day after day after day as we've seen the

run-up. now there's pullback. are you ready to own this if this continues. >> anytime it takes a dip and hurts american families and we care about this. but overwhelming this economy is so much stronger, 71 days a record high. 200,000 jobs added over 2 million since he got there and not to mention increase in wages to the highest levels in nine years. overall, the economy's really good and we hope it bouncing back quickly. >> a lot coming up in washington this week. appreciate your time. >> let's bring in ranking member of the house, armed services committee, adam smith. good to see you, congressman, thanks for being with us. we'll start with this, reasonable people could agree that in that memo, there are details that should be troubling to every american of the fbi not being fully forthcoming with the

fisa court, fair? >> i don't agree with that at all. >> okay. >> the argument just made is fascinating. in the first place, the warrant was not based on the dossier. carter page has had links to russian intelligence people going back to 2013. if you read the stories. there was a mountain of evidence that carter page was having improper connections with russian intelligence operatives, but here is the beauty of the logic. so you say it was all based on the dossier and you say what's worse, the fbi didn't even mention the dossier, came from the democratic sources. the dossier was not the basis of the warrant that they got. that's the fundamental flaw in the argument and the cherry picked fact that devin nunes put out. i don't know what people are paying to. michael flynn, popadopolous, carter page, paul manafort,

donald trump, jr.'s meeting with russians officials, a mountain of evidence of high-ranking trump campaign officials having met with the russians. >> congressman, these are-- these are two vastly different-- >> i'm done, go ahead. >> there are two vastly different issues. was the fbi fully forthcoming with the fisa court. was there an attempt by doj and fbi to cherry pick facts. if it's okay with the fbi-- >> what facts did they cherry pick. >> not disclosing evidence part of the-- they went to the fisa court to try to establish-- i'm sorry, i don't want to talk over you, go ahead. >> not disclosing exculpatory evidence or-- >> what is exsku--

>> i becaused for you, can you pause for me for a second? the dossier was not the basis of the warrant against carter page. so you set up this brilliant argument that says, you know, the dossier was the key to it and the justice department didn't disclose this. the flaw is that the dossier was not the key or did not have hardly anything to do with the getting of the warrant against carter page and beyond that for the president to say-- look, the main thing that i want out of this, the russians launched an effort against our democracy. >> doing the same-- >> hold on, congressman, congressman, i let you-- >> never-- >> you made the-- >> congress never acknowledged that. >> and you made the point three or four times that the dossier wasn't the reason for the warrant, yet, from the memo, reading from the memo, furthermore, deputy director. >> it's a memo. >> wait, so you're saying the memo-- you're saying you have information that made this memo incorrect? >> i'm saying the memo is not

accurate. >> i keep hearing this over and over again. how do you know that? have you read any of the warrant? >> can i answer the question? >> if you'll answer it. >> oh, can i answer the question? >> yeah, how do you know this memo is inaccurate? >> all right. please just let me talk. the warrant was against carter page and the argument that is advanced by devon nunez is the only way they could have gotten a warrant against carter page was based on this dossier. we know factually that that is false, that there is a mountain of evidence about carter page's connections to russian intelligence, his trips back and forth to moscow and the things just like with michael flynn and a lot of other people that had nothing to do with the dossier, that is a known fact. >> i'm not-- >> carter page had links to russian intelligence. >> congressman, you must know

something that the deputy director of the fbi didn't. furthermore, the deputy director. >> that's not true. >> how do you say the deputy-- read the news. >> testified before the committee in december of 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought, there would have been no warrant from fisa without the steele dossier information. you say there's a mountain of evidence. so far you've cited nothing. they're citing testimony from the deputy director of the fbi. he's saying he would not have sought a warrant despite all the evidence you're talking about. >> i've said that all and again, this unbelievable numbers of links between michael flynn and a lot of other people what went on there. what we really need to get at is what the president said this morning that this proves russia was nothing. look, this is about trying to stop the russians from doing what they've been doing in our country and elsewhere and the president has gotten in the way of that at every step. now personally, i think he primarily thinks that that is a threat to his legitimacy as a

president, it's not. okay, he won the election, but i don't want the russians to be messing in our election or any other democracy. >> the cia-- >> and have an organized plan to do that. >> cia director said as much as says he wants to stop it. congressman, we appreciate it, thanks for being here for sure. >> but the president hasn't. >> the administration certainly has, they speak for him in terms of the intelligence situation. thank you very much. we've got to run. a lot more to talk about. as you can tell from both sides about the fall yut from the memo, fox news sunday, chris wallace will speak to former cia director leon panetta, look at your local listings for time and channel. and howard kurtz takes to sean spicer, at 11 a.m. eastern. coming up here on the show, live to the winter white house in west palm beach, the president is spending the weekend there before heading out to the

heartland to sell his state of the union message. plus, the man who caused panic on the streets of hawaii, remember the guy who hit the wrong button? well, he's going to tell us exactly what happened that caused him to send out a false missile alert to millions of people last month. don't miss that explanation. and brand new developments in the las vegas mass shooting investigation, involving the man who sold the shooter hundreds of armor piercing bullets. >> i feel terrible about what happened. again, i keep racking my brain, what did i miss? what did i miss? there were no outward signs. he appeared as normal as anybody in this room.

it takes a lot of work to run this business. but i really love it. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i don't eat the way i should. so, i drink boost to get the nutrition i'm missing. boost high protein nutritional drink has 15 grams of protein to help maintain muscle

and 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d. all with a great taste. boost gives me everything i need... to be up for doing what i love. boost high protein be up for it

youyou know what's not awesome? gig-speed internet.

when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. leland: >> fox news alert and this one comes out of the middle east, as syrian militants and observers say a russian pilot has ejected safely from a jet shot down, but was killed by militants. the plane was shot down in a rebel-held province in syria and they say the military pilot was killed after he drew his pistol. russian authorities have not confirmed the loss of the plane. we will continue to follow this

and more throughout the afterno afternoon. (siren sounding) >> all right, we remember this, the hawaiian man who sent out that false missile alert last month. well, he's now telling his side of the story about the warning that caused nearly 40 minutes of panic on the island. the now former employee of hawaii's emergency management agency is choosing to be anonymous telling reporters that he feels bad about what happened, but thought the drill was the real deal. >> the message that i heard was this is not a drill. i didn't hear exercise at all in the message or from my co-workers. leland: okay. here is where the story is interesting. state officials say the man had a history of mistaking drills for actual events. this was not his first time,

although, that ex-employee disputes that as well. blake: the man who sold ammunition to the las vegas shooter before the attack is facing charges for his connection to the tragedy. will carr from the news room. >> authorities alleged that he sold stephen paddock bullets. he sells this as a hobby. he says he sold paddock 720 rounds of tracer ammunition bye creates a flame after the bullet that is fired that allows the shooter to follow the bullet's path. he went on to kill 58 people and injured more than 400 others in las vegas in october. he says when he purchased the ammo, he was going to put on a light show, along with numerous

guns and bump stocks and found unused ammunition in paddock's room and some bullets had his fingerprints as well. >> i feel terrible about it. again, what did i miss? what did i miss? there were no outward signs. he appeared as normal as anyone this this room. very well-spoken, very clean cut, very well-dressed. they polite, very respectful. >> the only other person announced publicly was his girlfriend. she's cooperated since the attack and they've cleared her. haig faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 fine, blake. blake: well, thank you. in an effort to stay safe, employees are asking what to do if they find themselves-- >> they're trig to do active

shooter drills here and the big question for businesses, how much training to provide employees. it's a sign of the time that some employers are now going so far as to act-- offer real world training. our own bryan llenas saw one of these drills firsthand this weekend and joins us in new york with more. so how real was it, bryan? >> very real. it's one thing to be told how to respond in the event of a shooting, it's another to put it into action as gunshots go off outside your office. inside the beverage distribution center, 50 employees are about to experience what it's like to be in an active shooter situation. the company is one of an increasing number of businesses, schools, and churches seeking active shooter training as a number of these shootings has increased over the last 15 years nationwide. >> we want them to be prepared, know what to do and you know, we truly want them to get home

safely to their families. the saratoga county sheriff's office says the numbers they do from one or two a month to 15. >> i think we need to get out of this mindset of if it's going to happen. it's when it's going to happen and am i prepared. they use mock pipe bombs for the drill to make it as real as possible. the active shooter wounds a man outside. he manages to call 911. the distribution center initiates a lockdown. the gunman enters, fire guns shots and firing pipe bomb, shooting an employee who did not seek coverage quickly enough. the first responder arrives on scene and goes toward the gunshot as the shooter fires rounds in the warehouse, they confront him. >> shoot me, shoot me! >> a second police team treats the wounded and begins to

evacuate employees. employees are taught to run, hide or as a last resort, fight. >> when you see the person coming toward you with a gun, you really, you're instinct takes over and you run. >> you didn't know where he was going. you didn't know how fast the response so going to be, so, it was nerve wracking. >> employees say he were surprised how anxious they felt during this drill. three months ago, u.s. attorney general jeff sessions awarded a 5.4 million dollar grant to the alert center in texas, the preeminent reactive training center for teaching 3000 individuals nationwide. leland: fascinating, the employees knew this was a drill ahead of him. >> they knew it was a drill ahead of time and didn't know when it was going to happen, for many of them, their heart rate was up and actually the first time anyone heard gunshots and pipe bombs exploding.

it's one thing to be told but when you hear those things, your body reacts in a viceral way. that's why it's important. leland: it's important training for the police as well and familiarize themselves with local businesses. bryan, thank you very much. blake's got more. blake: thanks, coming up the clock is ticking for congress to reach a deal on a government funding deal. we'll take a look what's going on behind the scenes to avoid another government shutdown and the president is in west palm beach this weekend at the winter white house, and he has-- he's tweeting. have you seen it this morning? what he has to say about the fisa memo. our phil keating is live with the latest. >> right now president trump is just down the street at his trump international golf club where he's been for a few hours. the weather in palm beach could be better and sunnier. but it certainly isn't single digit temperatures like the super bowl in minneapolis. we'll show you what the president is tweeting this morning coming up.

>> welcome back this saturday. president trump saying yesterday's memo from house republicans vindicates him. he tweeted that and more this morning, as he headed to his golf club in palm beach. our phil keating live near the president's mar-a-lago resort where president trump is spending the weekend. good afternoon, phil. >> good afternoon, leland. president trump said to reporters this past week, it would be quite an accomplishment if this country could get unified. well, that's certainly and clearly not happening this particularly partisan weekend. right now president trump is down the street at his nearby trump international golf club, where he arrived just a few hours ago. he did arrive last night on air force one and on the way to the golf course this morning, he did tweet this about yesterday's controversial g.o.p. memo release, quote, this memo totally vindicates trump in probe, but the russia witch hunt

goes on and on. there was no collusion and there was no obstruction, the word now being used because after one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing, collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace. then, the ranking democrat on that house intelligence committee tweeted back, quote, quite the opposite, mr. president. the most important fact disclosed in the otherwise shoddy memo was that the fbi investigation began july, 2016 with your advisor popadopolous who was secretly discussing stolen clinton e-mails with the russians. air force one landed in palm beach international just before 7 p.m. eastern time last night and as usual for the president's palm beach weekends, the president tweeting and golfing with no public events. he left behind a beltway immersed with partisan politics with the republican memo bye republicans say showed the fbi and justice department abused their power, and the democrats

say the controversial memo is d disstart disstarted-- distorted and will look at their memo next week. >> we protect people and the national security and use the same for the republican memo as for the democrat memo and differences could not be more stark. we did this in a reasonable, rational process with bringing in the relevant stakeholders. >> first lady and melania and son baron are over there at mar-a-lago at the estate right now on palm beach and the president should, as is expected, to then roll back from the golf club and join them in the next couple of hours this afternoon. it is super bowl weekend, and the president appears to be wanting to watch the game. still unclear, exactly whether they'll watch the game at mar-a-lago, as was the case last year, or whether air force one will get back to washington in

time for kickoff, leland. leland: either way we know he's close with bob kraft, we can imagine who he will be rooting for. phil keating in palm beach, hope you get to watch the game as well, buddy. thanks. >> let's hope. blake: something else to watch the federal government runs out of money on thursday. less than five days to reach a deal on another continuing resolution. lawmakers have tied a fix to daca for the funding debate, but hasn't made much progress on dreamers. and ron desantist, should mention that he's running. and mark meadows said of a fieft cr, he said, quote, i don't see that probability of at freedom caucus supporting a fifth cr without substantial changes by february 8th, unless we see dramatic changes. so, are there going to be dramatic changes or is the house

freedom caucus potentially going to vote against this? >> i don't know, individual members will decide. clearly the democrats stepped into this tying to illegal immigration and benefit to illegal immigrants. that's not positive for them when you're holding up the benefits to the military for foreigners and americans don't think that's going to fly. the last one i voted for because there were actually things in there that advanced policy agenda. there were a number of obamacare taxes that are suspended. i think those taxes are harmful. if you're doing another cr, that's not ideal, but if you're adding policy changes and can move the ball forward, that's not ideal, but bit by bit, for progress is better than an i am gra i gos bill --

immigration bill tied to the funding bill. blake: the formulation laid out is daca, the president gets the wall and end to diverse, and chain migration. with daca protection and a wall, do you think that that's something that republicans would eventually support? >> my sense is probably not. here is the thing on all of this. we've seen going back to the reagan bill in '86, when you do amnesty and then you promise that there's going to be changes so that you don't have illegal immigration in the future, a lot of times those changes never materialize. if you were to say, hey, we promised to build the wall if you do an amnesty for daca, well, i think a lot of guys like me would say, what guarantee do we have that that wall is ever going to be built. i think you need to make sure that the security is there, that the policy changes are in place before you do anything like that, and i think the best bill that i've seen has been the bob

goodlatte bill in the house to e-verify and-- >> i know you think the president is engaging in something that amounts to amnesty? >> i think he admits he's amnestying them. he's trying to call the democrats' bluff. they have yet to come to the table and i think he's showing them hypocrites on this issue. leland: let's bring in democrat the ranking member on house budget committee from the great city of louisville, kentucky. congressman, good to see you as always. reasonable people would say the last time we went down this road for the government shutdown, it didn't go well for the democrats. >> the problem we have is not

what we do about daca. there's one sense, that's a sense of urgency and disaster relief is another thing. leland: congressman, come on, we know-- the political that chuck schumer lived and died on was daca. only thing they talked about. his twitter page, his background was daca, that's all they were talking about. >> i had and we did not get the best of that in a pr sense. but the problem, the fundamentals of this whole issue is that the republican leadership has not been able to put together a spending plan for the year. if we go as anticipated for another continuing resolution to march 23rd, we will essentially being halfway through this fiscalier without a spending plan, this wreaks havoc on, just like the defense department who don't know from month to month how much money they will have. this is no way to run the government. leland: everyone seems to agree it's no way to run the

government. house republicans will say they have come up with a spending plan that they can get passed that they've passed through the house and that could get 51 votes in the senate. it can't get 60 in the senate because democrats won't come along. >> well, one of the reasons that that's the case is that republicans have never engaged democrats in trying to work a budget plan out. leland: oh, come on, real? >> leland, we're still faced with statutory budget caps that were part of the budget control act of 2011. before we do any spending plan we have to agree on what the spending caps will be. otherwise, we can't appropriate anything. so, unless republicans are willing to negotiate, democrats on the spending cap, we're not going anywhere. leland: it never ceases to aamaze me, neither party wants to take responsibility, i understand why. i'm interested, in just, play this one straight for me. you're down in louisville, kentucky, you're meeting with your constituents. are they angry and upset with

congress and specifically with you over this continually kicking the can down the road or do they accept the explanation, it's the other guy's problem? >> no, i think they're frustrated in general with the fact that the government appears to be dysfunctional on many levels. i don't think there's that degree of specificity that they worry about cr a's and government shutdowns. they don't want to see government shut down. they've been down the road before and i think people for the most part are kind of innerred to it, and same thing with the debt ceiling we'll have to lift because of the tax cuts. nobody's happy with congress and that's why our approval ratings are down around 10%, no question about that. leland: you guys are somewhere down around where the media is, we're here together talking about it. it's good to see you, congressman, thanks so much. >> okay, leland. leland: see you back here in

d.c. blake: thousands of football fans are headed to the super bowl tomorrow in minneapolis. thousands more headed to south korea for the start of the winter olympics. there's that, too. we'll find out the massive effort underway to keep people safe. plus, americans workers getting a nice bonus this month courtesy of the tax cut that was passed. have you seen your paycheck yet? have you got it yet? have you thought what you might do with it? that story is coming up. patrick woke up with a sore back. but he's got work to do. so he took aleve this morning. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can't do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long.

to date more than 4.1 million workers have received bonuses. workers are going to start seeing more money in their paychecks based on new withholding tables. leland: that's how speaker paul ryan talking about bonuses not only because of the tax cut, but for the first week there are

larger paychecks, thanks to new irs guidelines for employers. and blake burman usually covers for us. blake, the white house is touting this will be the fuel for the engine of the economy. how much gets into the economy and we start seeing the effects? >> well, you see people with paychecks now and the federal government set it up in february you start seeing 90% in your paycheck so it's going to take time to get into the paycheck, of many paychecks and have that money filter out. 1.5 trillion dollar hole here over ten years and what the administration says is, there's going to be growth that pays for that over time and they say you just heard hogan earlier in the show, you've got these tax cuts or the bonus checks coming through and they tout that as one of the successes and the president himself says they didn't think it was going to be like that. leland: notably, they're not touting what the dow did on friday, but that part has been left out of the talking points this weekend. blake: one i think this you

shouldn't do with this? bet it all on the super bowl, save it. leland: great advice. blake: unless you want to put it all on brady, don't do that. keep it. the patriots and eagles set to square off in super bowl lii. live pictures now at the experience there. have you ever been to that? it's pretty fun, a good time. leland: we'll have more from minneapolis coming right up. ♪ ur day never started. get going with carnation breakfast essentials® high protein drink. it has 21 vitamins and minerals with 15 grams of protein to help you be your best. try our high protein drink.

welcome back this saturday afternoon, gearing up for the game tomorrow. large numbers of sports fans increases the need for security. let's bring in the nfl chief security officers jeffrey miller, how you go about keeping people safe, not only in minneapolis, but there's the winter olympics coming up in south korea. thank you for joining us on this saturday. i hear you've done eight of these in a row so you know about it. how big of a challenge is this? >> well, it's a really big challenge. it's obviously the nfl's premier event and they pour a lot of resources and time and effort into it and generally speaking, you're usually working on two super bowls at once. the one in front of you and the one that's on deck.

there's a lot of coordination that occurs between the host committee, host law enforcement at the local, state and federal level, just planning and executing all the details around the event. blake: there are some 60 agencies and then you bring in the fbi, department of homeland security, et cetera. who is actually the one that makes the call in a situation like this should it arise all the way to the top? >> well, what happens is, the first super bowl following the attacks of 9/11 was super bowl 36 in naturals and that was a national special security event nnse. by statute the secret service was in charge for that super bowl. every super bowl since that time has been designated slightly below as a special event, rating, and because of that federal agencies are permitted to appropriated dollars, moan comes in from the federal government. the command usually comes to the

local authority so the city police department. obviously, if something arises to the level of an act of terrorism, the fbi would be able to come in and then take over. blake: tom brady is in this game, you know, it seems it's a rule that he's got to play in the super bowl. >> probably in his contract. blake: yeah, probably after the contract. you remember after the game his jersey was stolen and federal authorities came in to track it down and turned out there was a journalist who snatched it. do you think there will be extra security around brady this year. >> i think the nfl will implement something when i was around the field, using chips in the credentials themselves to determine who has access to the post game locker room. so you'd have to tap in and tap out when you enter or leave the locker room so they'll have better access in control in place to make sure this doesn't happen again. blake: i'm not sure if you've done an olympics, but you've got experience with huge events in south korea. there are some 5,000 armed

forces personnel trying to protect the olympics. does this sound about right to you? >> yes, it does. obviously, the events that occurred at the 1972 olympics changed everything. i mean, obviously, the israelis will never allow anything like that to happen again and security has changed from 1972 to this point. in south korea, olympics will be in a mountainous region, 60 miles south of the dmz. there are obvious concerns about the provocative actions of the north. one of the things you have to be concerned about are cyber threats to the game. there have been attacks in the past designated toward the south to embarrass them, so there's a lot of things from a personal security standpoint, but also on the cyber level that folks have to be prepared for. blake: two huge sporting events around the world coming up the next few weeks. jeffrey miller, thanks for joining us this weekend. >> thank you. >> leland. leland: all right, another hour

of blake and i coming up for america's news headquarters. high ranking fbi officials saying, i quit, on the pages of the new york times. how this resignation and the fallout of the fisa memo is impacting the bureau. and deja vu all over again. daca on the table for the budget debate, how lawmakers are working on a fix ahead of another possible government shutdown. eck every six months i'm accident free. and i don't share it with mom! right, mom? righttt. safe driving bonus checks. only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it.

before i hadburning,oting, of diabetic nerve pain, these feet... loved every step of fatherhood... and made old cars good as new. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who've had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. ask your doctor about lyrica.

hope you are having a great saturday. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington. i'm leland vittert. >> thanks for having me on this saturday afternoon. >> i'm the guy who goets to joi you. >> to get a guy who normally stands on the north end of the white house, to get you here on the weekend, we are honored. thanks for being here. >> thank you. i appreciate it. a lot of news to get to. as the president says he feels totally vindicated in the russian probe, a day after the house republicans release their memo. we will hear what a former fbi director thinks about this. days away from another government shutdown at least no closer to a deal on immigration or keeping the government open, at least publicly. our political panel on that.

>> we will also go live to minneapolis where super bowl fever is ratcheting up. the excitement for the battle between the eagles and the patriots. >> first now a fox news alert. democrats on the house intelligence committee says their own intelligence memo paints a different picture from the one put out yesterday by their republican colleagues. the four page memo written by devin nunes and his staff alleges that senior doj and fbi officials omitted key parts of their evidence. used to get a warrant to spy on a former member of president trump's campaign. molly henneberg is standing by with the latest. >> hi, blake. democrats say this memo changes nothing and is meant as a distraction from the russia investigation. but president trump says the memo released yesterday indicates that there was no collusion with russia as he's been saying all along. in a tweet this morning, the president says, quote, this memo totally vindicates trump in probe, but the russian witch hunt goes on and on. there was no collusion and there

was no obstruction. the word now used because after one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing, collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace. in response, the top ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee congressman schiff said quote quite the pop sit mr. president, the -- the opposite mr. president the most important fact disclosed in this memo was fbi investigation began july 2016 with your advisor, papadopoulos who was secretly discussing stolen clinton e-mails with the russians. the new memo details why the secret fisa gave permission for the fbi to spy on a former trump campaign manager. it was by information collected by a former british spy. from the memo here quote the dossier compiled by christopher steele, the steele dossier on behalf of the democratic national committee, and the

hilary clinton campaign formed an essential part of the carter page fisa application. the application does not mention steele was ultimately working on behalf of and paid by the dnc and clinton campaign or that the fbi had separately authorized payment to steele for the same information. here's the top republican on the house intelligence committee. >> they wouldn't have received a warrant without the dossier. the dossier was presented to the court as if it was true. the court was not told that the democrats actually paid for this. >> democrats are pushing back on that. you just heard congressman adam smith on our air last hour saying that the memo was, quote, not accurate and that the steele dossier had nothing to do with the warrant to spy on carter page. blake? >> molly henneberg, thank you. >> let's bring in south carolina congressman ralph norman, one of the lawmakers who pushed with the twitter hashtag release the memo for the release of the memo. good to see you, sir, who knew you would be a social media

master. president on twitter this morning saying that this vindicates him. are you willing to go that far? >> you know, i think what's great about this is that it's being released. and leland, let me say this, the democrat memo, which we didn't have at the time that we read the memo by the republican committee, we're going to read that when we get back to washington, but i'm all for letting the democrat memo come out, let the public compare what is being presented, and we have got to do that for the sake of integrity of the department of justice and the fbi, which should set the goal standard. >> i'm going to take it to know that you don't view this is full vindication for the president. you're more on the lindsay graham and speaker ryan camp on that. >> i think let the facts carry it where they are. i think the president was right to release it. i think the president wants the facts out there. for what i understand, this is just the tip of the iceberg. we've got -- this is 10% of the

information that will be released. to be honest with you, i'm surprised that it was classified in the first place. >> when you read it, the hype about this memo that this was going to be worse than watergate and prove all of these things, and then it came out, and it seemed pretty bland, the talking points on both sides didn't really materialize from the democratic side who said this is going to be a grave threat to national security, read the memo and nobody came away and said this is really impacting national security. is there a danger in republicans overhyping this when you say this is just the tip of the iceberg? >>, no i think when you have people being paid by the democratic national committee, by the hillary campaign, influencing members of the fbi to make calls on that, i think it's very serious. so i think it is different. i think, you know, the watergate break-in was a two-bit break-in

of a headquarters. this touches the upper echelons of our department of justice, of our fbi. and that's a big deal. it should be. and i think let's -- >> there's the watergate break-in and there's the watergate cover-up. we won't get into a compare and contrast history lesson, for another reason i'm probably not qualified enough to do it, but i want to understand going forward how you look at this. where does the accountability end in your mind? so few people, even devin nunes isn't able to read these fisa warrants, so few people are actually privy to this intelligence and to the raw data, we're just expected to believe what we're being told by both sides. everybody has to say believe me. >> yeah, and you can't lose the trust of the believe me. you've got to have the confidence that, again, the fbi is not partisan. and when they take information

that is beyond the shadow of a doubt driven by the hatred of a man, i think it's wrong. i think it's great that it's coming out. let the public decide. it's not hard as an example to prove to get the checks that were cashed to pay these different people. and you expect a greater sense of awareness and a fairness than the fbi to pass on this. >> as you point out, for so long, the trust of the fbi has been sacrosanct and really never before has been the fbi been attacked, even during watergate, other republicans wouldn't go after the fbi as the bureau got closer and closer to the president himself and their investigation. you made a good point about the public making the final decision in being the arbiter of truth. when you are back in your district, you are traveling through south carolina, are people talking about this memo? have they lost confidence in the fbi? or is this something that just all of a sudden washington loved to talk about? >> well, i think for the most

part the press has been other than the fox news network, the others, it's embarrassing to see the other networks in their effort to discredit this. let the facts be as they may. all i ask that people in my fifth congressional district, look at it, pay attention to it, you verify it. both mem mos -- memos, i'm all for the democratic memo getting out there, let's compare it. let's see if it stands the test of light which is a disinfectant for all of us. if the fbi officials are at fault, they ought to be held accountable, and they should be. they are taking our tax dollars. >> well, they are taking our tax dollars and they have the right as we have seen to have enormous power. it's also been made the point looking to release the democratic memo, you have as well. we will see if republicans get behind releasing the democratic memo as much as they did their own. we appreciate you being here, sir. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> great conversation. as we have proven on this show, there's going to be a lot more

fallout from the memo. next big thing to drop, fox news sunday, chris wallace speaking to former director leon panetta, check your local listings for time and channel. tomorrow media buzz, talks to sean spicer about the media's coverage of the mueller investigation and the fbi. that's tomorrow 11:00 a.m. eastern. blake? when you move past all of that, still a major story as lawmakers are up against the clock once again to fund the government if they don't reach a deal on another continuing resolution by thursday. if not, then the government would shut down again. ellison barber has the latest on the funding debate. >> good to see you. the shutdown deadline is rapidly approaching but republican congressional leaders say a shutdown won't happen. they say a full year budget deal won't happen either. instead they are saying you should expect another short-term deal. >> the reason we're having these cr's in the first place is because the democrats have been holding the agreement hostage,

the military funding hostage for an unrelated issue. i think we are making progress. even if we get everything figured out by tuesday we will still need a cr if only for a fact to give the them time to write a bill. >> short-term bill in the house funding the government through march 23rd. sources also tell us that defense hawks pushing to bolster defense spending. senate minority leader chuck schumer reportedly said discussion on a deal for budgetary caps is going well in the house minority leader nancy pelosi said this. >> we have worked totally in unison on this. if there never were one dreamer in the world, and thank god there are many, we still have a

problem on that. if you want to increase the defense spending, we're not objecting to that, we need to have a commensurate increase on the domestic side. you cannot increase defense and bleed the domestic budget and think we're going to be a strong nation. >> also looming over capitol hill, the debt ceiling, a couple of days ago the cbo said because the new tax law reduced individual income taxes for most taxpayers, the government -- as much as money and the treasury will likely run out in the first part of march and the government won't be able to pay its debts. blake >> it is amazing we get to the point where oh by the way there's the debt ceiling. that thing too. a lot going on. ellison, thank you. for more on this let's bring in our panel, political analyst, and the former deputy secretary at the dnc. thank you both for joining us on this saturday. jose, i will start with you, the last time the government shut down, the democrats were the ones who overwhelmingly got the blame. this time you would advise them to do what?

>> look, we don't need another government shutdown. but at the same time, blake, what we got to stop doing is this -- you know, this short-term solutions. right now we're going to have -- perhaps they are talking about both parties going to keep the government open until march. then in march we will have to have the same conversations. you know enough. this is the fifth continuing resolution we have seen from congress. we need a long-term solution, a year or two, and stop having this sort of nonsense negotiation. we need a permanent solution. >> republicans hold the white house. they hold the sat -- they hold the senate. they hold the house. last time i checked that's a lot in washington. how come are we still going crisis to crisis? >> it is over daca as you know. democrats are complained about the deal in which president trump has offered, but certainly i think he's draining the swamp of excuses at this particular point in time but having offered a deal that was generously and liberal. at this particular point, every excuse that they have been using to not come to a general

conclusion where this shutdown is concerned has ran completely and totally out. certainly we have into march in terms of daca, and then we have until february 8th in terms of the shutdown. we have to stop the continuing resolutions. i agree with this, but until democrats can really come to table and stop with the excuses nothing is going to get done. that's where we are at this point. >> the other major story today is the memo. president trump's tweet this morning in which he essentially said that he feels that this memo vindicates him from bob mueller's russia probe. i asked the white house deputy press secretary earlier this morning about that tweet. listen here. >> so yes or no the white house feels this vindicates the president? >> it definitely moves to that decision, toward that end because the president has been clear. there's no collusion. obviously there's no obstruction. these types of pieces of information that continue to come out prove the point, there's nothing there. >> should that be the argument that the white house is trying to make or the president is

trying to make or should they sit back and let this mueller probe play out considering the president says there's nothing there there? >> well, i think they absolutely should sit back. i don't think the investigation should stop. i think that mueller must do his job. 100%. but this memo was very damaging to the fbi and the intelligence community, and to me, gave the appearance that the fbi colluded with the dnc and the hilary clinton campaign to get dirt on donald trump. so this is a very troubling time for the fbi. i thought that it was very smart yesterday that president trump hadn't tweeted as the news was breaking about the memo. he should continue to do that. i don't think this memo exonerates him in the russia collusion investigation. but again, we've not seen any evidence at all that his campaign colluded with the russians. we've got to continue. let's get this off our books so we can move on as americans. >> jose i know you haven't seen the democrat memo. what do you think is in it? >> let me just say first that i

agree that this investigation needs to continue and we need to get to the bottom of this. it is so sad that the republicans would release this memo clearly what they want to do is undermine mueller. let the investigation finish. let's get to the bottom of it. >> how is that undermining mueller? i don't see that point. i think the fbi smacked the american people in the face by allowing someone who was obviously paid by the dnc and hilary clinton campaign to provide them dirt. you think about deputy attorney general whose wife worked for fusion gps who was giving him information which was political dirt which he inserted into the record, to the work product of the fbi. so when it comes to this i agree that we need to have the democratic party -- >> first of all, you know, the fact that the republicans will go against or national security institutions undermines not even just mueller but it undermines democracy. i mean this is purely with political motives behind it. i mean we ought to finish -- >> political, political -- >> you know it is political.

come on. >> gentlemen, we are going to have to leave it there. there will be a democratic memo likely to come out as well. >> it should. we want all the facts on the table. that's important. >> we will have more time to talk to you both. >> thank you. >> great being on. >> thank you for both coming in. fox news alert, this is new video into our newsroom of the alleged russia pilot shot down by syrian militants. observers say the plane was shot down in a rebel held province of syria and the militants say the pilot was killed after he drew his pistol and then resisted capture. the first time a russian jet has been downed in an awfully long time. the video reportedly shot on the edge of a syrian village that is in the hands of an al qaeda-linked group. that's where observers say the plane crashed. and the russian defense ministry now confirming that the plane was shot down. so this was indeed a russian jet. and we have heard from the

russians now that they say their pilot was killed, quote, fighting terrorists. that's what of course the syr n syrians and the russians call anyone who does not like bashar al-assad. the russians will respond to this undoubtedly and how they do will tell us a lot about their relationship with president assad coming up. as we continue on the show, more on the president's up coming road rally to promote his state of the union goals to the american people. and we will find out just what rank and file members think of the fisa memo released. former fbi director is here to talk about the bureau. and live from minneapolis as we preview the big event of the weekend, super bowl lii. rick leventhal thankfully inside in minneapolis for us. hi, rick. >> no doubt. would you wait 45 minutes to kick a football? that's what some of these fans are doing here inside the nfl super bowl experience. they are also waiting over an hour to get an up close look at

that lombardi trophy. we will tell you more about what's going on here inside and what's happening outside the doors, coming up. (vo) make her day with

just one touch. with fancy feast creamy delights, she can have just the right touch of real milk. easily digestible, it makes her favorite entrées even more delightful. fancy feast creamy delights. love is in the details.

it all comes down to this, super bowl weekend. the philadelphia eagles, new england patriots will kick off

for super bowl lii tomorrow evening. our rick leventhal, he would have drawn a really tough job if he had to be outside but he has a nice job of being inside covering super bowl lii. it looks like you are having a lot of fun with folks, rick? >> you know, we have to go outside in most days to get inside, leland. it is rough out there. but we are inside here at the nfl super bowl experience. they call this the football's interactive theme park where thousands of fans are coming to take part in activities including running obstacle courses and kicking balls and get an up close look at the lombardi trophy. the weather has been a big part of the story. temperatures in the single digits much of this week, up to 20 below 0 with the windchill. putting activities indoors obviously a good idea. we spoke to the city's mayor about how the city is handling the frigid cold. >> we're the bold north right here. we embrace the cold in a big

way. it doesn't keep us inside. we get outside and have a ball. >> well, a little chilly he told me, that's a bit of an understatement. and it's tough for all those 3,000 local state and federal law enforcement officers and agents who have to work in that cold. along with hundreds of national guardsmen who have to work outside in that cold. they are doing everything they can to get the guys some relief as they work through 12, 14 hour shifts in some cases. so far all is running smoothly as far as we are told. and the interest in tickets for this game is phenomenal. according to stub hub, ticket prices are higher and sales are greater than last year, which set a record. >> the average ticket price sold on stub hub is going for just over $5,000. the cheapest ticket price available is currently $3,000. so it is more of a premium price compared to last year. and i think that's due to the two markets involved and demand driving up the market.

>> five grand is a lot of money for a ticket. even for the mayor who says he can't afford one and isn't going. one of the restaurant owners we spoke with said he would love to go even if the vikings were in, though, he's not sure he could afford to buy a ticket to this game. leland: the vikings got oh so close. you make a great point, rick, and that is there are so many people who just want to be there and come to the city to watch sort of the festivities and do what rick was doing rather than be inside the game. >> have you ever been to a super bowl? >> we see that a lot. >> yeah. >> we see that a lot. and the difference here is that it's so frigid cold outside that the outdoor events are far less attended than they would be in a city like, say, miami or houston or new orleans. >> hey, rick, real quick, do you see more patriots fans or eagles fans there? >> a lot of patriots fans where we are today. but there are eagles fans. i mean, they are definitely represented here. you want to look around, you can see jerseys from both squads. but the patriots fans seem to be pretty confident, i will tell

you that. >> the patriots have been through this a couple of times before. all right. rick, enjoy the game. hopefully you get a warm place to watch it. >> are you going to be all right? are you guys going to be all right on sunday? >> we're going to make it happen. >> they are sounding good out there. if you are at the super bowl, you are having fun. coming up a high-profile z resignation from the fbi after the release of the fisa memo. going for gold. one family has been doing the olympics since before the days of fdr. we will speak to one of those family members, coming up. >> i welcome you, representatives of many of our sister nations, to this the opening of the third winter olympic games! brought in high pn to help get us moving.

...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you.

looking for a hotel that fits... whoooo. ...your budget? tripadvisor now searches over... ...200 sites to find you the... ...hotel you want at the lowest price. grazi, gino! find a price that fits. tripadvisor. so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. well, that seems fair. we didn't use it. wish we got money back on gym memberships. get money back hilarious. with claim-free rewards. switching to allstate is worth it.

well it may be the weekend, but the republican memo causing political earthquakes in washington is also calling into question a near sacrosanct american value. that is the trust in the fbi. an op-ed in the new york times just coming out an agent explaining why he is resigning writing quote there is a difference between oversight by those in charge of holding the fbi accountable and criticism by politicians seeking partisan gain. political operatives are weaponizing their disagreement with a particular investigation in a bid to undermine the credibility of the entire institution. let's bring in somebody who i'd say your love of the fbi is pretty thorough and has been well proven over the time. former fbi assistant director, always good to see you. there's a lot to break down here. we will get to the essence of the memo in a minute. is it right for americans to feel as though if they haven't

lost trust, to at least begin questioning the trust they have in the fbi? >> in a democracy, we should always question authority. that's a basic part of our democracy. so i think it is never inappropriate to question, especially when you have an organization like the fbi, that in this area of its operation, when you talk about its foreign counterintelligence obligations, must be conducted in secrecy. the -- >> well, not only conducted in secrecy, but also has such enormous power, we're learning. >> correct. it has a great degree of power, you are right. now, there is a well established oversight process. the americans don't have to have blind trust in the fbi, particularly after the accesses of the 60s, we saw a very elaborate, well thought-out oversight process. i would say what we're seeing

now is the unravelling to some extent of that oversight process based on the actions of -- >> you're seeing unravelling because you are saying the oversight process that was designed to keep the fbi from being political has now become political itself? >> exactly what i'm saying. >> okay. so the dangers of that conceivably would be as grave as politicizing the fbi. want to get to the issue of the memo itself from the republicans. we will read from it. deputy director mccabe testified before the committee in december of 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the fisa court without the steel dossier information. now, you and other democrats say -- democrats say that's not the case. that's not exactly what mccabe said. but it does big the question, how much is required to get a fisa warrant? from at least from the reading of the republican memo, it is hey, here's some dirt on somebody, okay there's a fisa warrant. >> i'm glad you asked me that question. look, the fisa warrant is ultimately approved by a federal

district court, the same federal district court judge who looks at criminal applications for wiretaps and criminal cases. you have to convince that judge of a narrative that supports what you are asking him to do. >> right, but in the same way, couldn't an fbi agent who had say similar political leaning to mr. steel, we know how mr. steel thought about trump, he was the one who compiled the dossier, we know there are fbi agents who have political leaning. >> every one of them. >> if they thought i'm not sure i'm a big fan of donald trump could they not just as easily cherry pick what facts they want to put in that request to that judge? >> that's a hypothetical question. i would assume that would be correct. the problem with it is you are talking about a single person in a massive bureaucracy. those fisa applications i used to review them when i was the chief of counterterrorism if

they were in the terrorism arena. i was one of many many layers. we understand the implications of wiretapping, a great intrusion on the american people. >> if you follow the dots out if this republican memo is to be believed, if it is to be believed, it shows that fbi in all of these steps overlooked the fact that this dossier was compiled by a political opposition research group. if the memo is to be believed. the narrative you are writing here is saying if the memo is to be believed, that this wasn't just a rogue fbi agent. this was a number of layers of the fbi that if they didn't certainly willfully overlook something they certainly should have included it. >> first of all, there are a number of issues i would take with your description. starting with that they overlooked that. my understanding is that they didn't overlook it. in the other memorandum that we have not seen because we have

kept from seeing that, we're working with a very incomplete picture, we are working with a partisan document written by a very small number of people. that's number one. number two, again, it's a narrative. it is not a single document. maybe most importantly leland, it is not the importance of where a piece of information comes from, naturally people come to the fbi for a reason with negative information. it's not the source as much as it is the accuracy of it. your ability to put it into context. your ability to validate it. leland: but fair to say, if the fisa warrant, which is what only a couple of people have seen, as you point out, if the fisa warrant did not include the background on this dossier, that it was opposition political research, paid for conceivably by a democratic group, that would be a problem? >> yes, my understanding is the

court was told -- i don't know in what level of detail -- but that that information had been provided -- i don't know what level of detail, but i would agree with you if the court was told nothing about the context of where that information came from, that would be a problem. leland: as you point out, there are a lot of details, hundreds of pages here. we only have three or four minutes to get through it. we're done now. the details will come out. thanks, steve. >> you are welcome. blake: coming up a community honors a sheriff deputy killed in the line of duty. plus a suspending deadline creeps up on congress here in washington, president trump is planning to tout his tax cut bill. he's about to hit the road. more on that coming up. >> just as i promised, the american people, from this podium, 11 months ago, we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in american history. and the wolf huffed and puffed...

welcome back on a saturday

afternoon. part of a highway that crosses the border between north carolina and south carolina renamed in honor of a south carolina sheriff's deputy who was shot and killed in the line of duty last month. a portion now known as detective memorial highway. it was dedicated to him on friday. it would have been his 38th birthday. >> the president is down in palm beach this weekend, but fresh off his first state of the union address, the president heads to ohio on monday. the president visiting cincinnati, to highlight the impact of the g.o.p. tax bill. >> all the signs lead toward success, and you're seeing the tax bill and jobs being created from the tax bill. you're seeing announcements of investments, 401(k) benefits, bonuses. we want to keep that momentum going. >> here to weigh in one of our good friends rj harris pennsylvania based radio host

580 on your am dial on the internet worldwide. rj, good to see you as always buddy. >> great to be here, leland. leland: i will forgive for not having watched the past hour and a half of the show but it's been filled with memogate and memogate fallout. in pennsylvania are they talking about memo and memogate fall out or are there other things on their mind? >> yeah, no, we're not talking about that here. by the way, i have watched the last hour and a half. and listened to you on sirius xm on the way over. so i did hear all of that. no, i really think that's something that's being obsessed over in the swamp. the truth of the matter is, this weekend i believe people are going to be talking about the tax break at super bowl parties, like the woman you had on earlier, that saw another $75 in her paycheck. that's real money. and that's affecting all hard-working americans. so i think that's what they will be talking about. i don't think they know much about fisa except that it is a

government threat to all of us in terms of our information being in the wrong hands at the snap of some fingers. leland: so fair to say that it's scary, but the minutia of it doesn't bother them. clearly the minutia of what's in their pocketbooks makes a lot bigger difference. we have talked a lot about the stock market. you have come on a number of times and touted the stock market going through the roof and your callers calling in saying their 401(k)s going up is proof of the president's success. chart of the stock market in the past week, to say it's crashed would be an understatement, down nearly a thousand points this week. dropped more than 600 points yesterday. does that change the conversation a little bit? >> well, let me ask you this, is there any among us, honestly, who thought that day wasn't coming? i mean, when you look at how the stock market has been run up, i

hesitate to call it a crash. but the fall, you know, it had to be expected. i was waiting for the day that it was coming. leland: yeah. >> and i think that, you know, from what i've scene on the fox news channel -- from what i've seen on the fox news channel with cavuto, we are still ahead for the year >> that's true. my grand father always said great investor he always said that the stock market takes an elevator up and -- the stairs up and the elevator on the way down. we're on the elevator ride down. it brings up, though, an important question. dwr you talked about -- you talked about in terms of what people are talking about, if you listen to the coverage of this, it is hysteria, it is a crash, people are talking about the end of the rally, the end is near, the economy is grinding to a halt. >> the thing that i thought was most interesting was the first day when it was down 300 points. okay? and they acted like it was down -- they being the majority of the media -- acted like it

was down 300 points back in the days when it was at 8,000. you thought the world was coming to an end and we're at 26,000. so the numbers are quite a bit different in terms of the percentage. now, down is down. and a thousand points is a lot. but i just am so optimistic about this economy, and i think again your average working class american is. we're just seeing movement we haven't seen in years in terms of more jobs, better pay, and you know, i find it interesting -- leland: you were the one -- >> -- they want to repeal and rescind this tax break, are you saying to me you really want to run on taking away these tax breaks from that woman that got an extra 75 bucks in her paycheck? >> if you listen to nancy pelosi it's just peanuts is what i think she said. that's what they are running on. i know you and your listeners will have a lot to talk about

when they do. rj, good to hear you and see you as always. >> great to see you. blake: giving a whole new meaning to the term winging it. we will tell you how many chicken wings this competitor eater -- we will move on. we speak to a third generation olympian. imagine if you had a gold medal and your grand father had more, interesting story, coming up. ♪ ♪ i want one moment in time ♪ when i'm more than i thought i could be ♪ ♪

representatives of the united states. i think you are going to see great things from them. blake: we know a couple folks here in the u.s. lindsay and sean have been doing this as long as tom brady has been doing his thing. how hard is that? >> lindsay von and sean white are great great people. they are so nice. they do everything so well. and they are super stars. you know, it is so great to see a super star acting so great to the public and signing autographs and doing all these great things. i'm excited to see how they do. i think they are going to really show the world that they're still the best. blake: lastly, when you walk into that arena there for the opening ceremonies when we see it here in a few days, what is that feeling like? >> they told me walking into the opening ceremonies is a game changer, and i remember walking in and hearing the applause and it was alternating, changed my life. such a great experience to be able to represent your country and i was so proud to be there and then to hear the fans and everybody cheering for you, you
