of democrats continue to move the goalposts? here to break it down is chief counsel for the senate intelligence committee. we appreciate you joining us this morning. what do you think of this? would this be a good idea for democrats to call witnesses? >> i don't think it makes a lot of sense. the reality is the president of the administration will fight giving of these close witnesses, the president, chief of staff, national security adviser, the chance of testifying are small, it will stretch the process out and the thing is democrats in the house have been in charge of this investigation since day one so they have gotten all the witnesses they went up to the point where the president said no so they have all the evidence in the house and they will present that evidence to the senate so there will be information presented from the prosecution about claims being made. >> we can bring up that witness

list, those mentioned by chuck schumer so far that you mentioned, mick mullaney, john bolton, robert blair, michael duffy. why would they want these particular witnesses? >> i think they want to prove the president was doing something untoward, there was some issue with what was going on in that phone call but we know what is on the phone, we have the transcript, the testimony of a number of witnesses who heard about the phone call or were involved so we have a lot of information and we have mick mulvaney speaking publicly about his views of the phone call and the question of whether something was taking place. we have a lot in the public record so what is odd is in a lot of waste schumer is looking for witnesses. he knows republicans want witnesses, they want hunter biden, this might be never to push back on the effort to call hunter biden to testify. >> that was the next question. we can pull up this excerpt from schumer's letter to mcconnell where he references a conspiracy theory and his opinion that several of the witnesses that republicans have commented on contribute not to facts but

instead conspiracy theories. do you agree with him? >> the debate going on right now is what happened in the phone call and whether the president wanted to stop corruption in ukraine or looking for a political favor. if it was about corruption hunter biden comes a bit of chuck schumer is right and this is about extracting a political favor you get witnesses like john bolton or mick mullaney to testify but either side these are the issues and debates, if they don't have witnesses, if one side has witnesses the other side to call them too. shannon: let's move to our second topic. what do you expect to happen, horwitz in the hot seat again tomorrow. this will be another barnburner day of testimony.

>> that is exactly right. we saw horowitz testify for 5 hours before the senate judiciary committee, he laid out a pretty damning situation when it comes to the fbi's behavior particularly officials in the fbi. i was heavily involved in the fisa process of the justice department. i don't think the process is broken but huge errors were made, in particular not revealing that carter page was essentially a us government as working with the us government to give information about his contact with russian intelligence officers, that's a huge problem that information was not given and even in fbi attorney manipulated an email sent to another official to mislead that official, these are huge issues that need to be resolved. >> we have to go, we are out of time but any new information? >> we will see a lot more

questions. a lot of people gearing up for it. there will be a lot of discussion about this fisa. >> thank you so much, appreciate having you with us, we have to get your opinion of what happens. the time is 18 after the top of the hour. megan mccain shutdown during a fiery class on the view. >> please stop talking right now. >> i won't talk. >> the growing back lash against whoopi goldberg this morning. and joe biden wants to be president but former president obama says old men need to get out of the way, that is a quote. carly shimkus has commented have a lot of people talking on social media. - in the last year, there were three victims of cybercrime every second. when a criminal has your personal information, they can do all sorts of things in your name. criminals can use ransomware, spyware, or malware to gain access to information like your name,

entire segment. >> they were talking border facilities and goldberg compared them to nazi facilities. >> it became the top trending topic on twitter and some people feel megan mccain was wrongfully silenced. one twitter user says she is the only conservative voice on a panel of hyperliberals. technically her voice is more important. twitter user says sunny interrupted and was talking over megan, she should have been reprimanded and lastly anthony says they are fine with her when she agrees with them but they never let her forget she is the token conservative. megan mccain weighed in and said she's not going to be quite because she, quote, has a responsibility to speak for the 50% but feels the media doesn't represent them. it has to be a tough job. shannon: interesting to see what happens today on the show.

speaking of the importance of women, former president obama said women are indisputably better at leading them, quote, old men. what was this? >> interesting comment during a speech in singapore. women, i want you to know you are not perfect but what i can say is you are better than us men. if you look at the world and the problems it is usually old men not getting out of the way. that come into leading to speculation about social media, one twitter user says is this a subtle way of introducing michelle into the 2020 race? cindy says that is a hard no one biden? why did he run against hillary. another interesting point, he made comments like this in the past about women, encouraging them to run for political purpose. >> spoken like a dead of two daughters. speaking of daughters, this is

going viral. the dead picking up his daughter from the airport in this elf costume. look at that. imagine going home and seeing your father like that? courtney did, that hilarious moment going viral on social media, she says her dad is up in various characters every single time he picks her up at the airport. katherine says you are lucky to have a lovely and reliable dad, thanks for sharing, your dad is the greatest, courtney says she loves it but her reaction would probably had been different if she was in middle school. >> sounds like they are a fun family. the time is 26 after the hour and switching gears, the deadly storms tearing through the south, tornadoes, heavy winds

conspiracy, the american economic association convention meeting but when they were there they were shaking their heads going what a tragedy it is to have this guy in the white house, it has to be bad for the economy, they were letting their politics get in the way of their economic data, reasoning, the history of tax cuts and deregulation irrelevant to people, basically have better economic shifts from will be goldberg on the view that you are getting from those guys right now. will be goldberg didn't talk about economics, she did no harm. >> someone who has been touting all the successes, looking at the numbers, donald trump tweeted this on the stock market, new stock market high, i will never get bored of telling you that we will never get tired of winning. respond to these numbers bringing up monday's record market close was the numbers for the dow, the s&p 500, the nasdaq, what all is contributing to this? the dow has gained 10,000 points
