online. i think that's really telling. >> and there's also this huge disparity between what people have shared and what they understand now they have shared. login, your birth date, all the other information they're asking for, that's being parcelled out. >> i think that's what's been so jarring to people. is that i think people understood that services were gathering information about them, and they liked the fact that when they go to a shopping site, they'll see recommendati n recommendations about what they might like to buy. but what they didn't know is how that information could potentially be used beyond their convenience. and people are recognizing these services have a capability of doing a lot request your data. >> are americans more trusting than other countries. facebook is a global company, they've got over a billion users.

>> we did two different surveys and it was interesting, one said that americans are more trusting, one actually showed the inverse. regardless of where you are globally, now people are going to be much more aware, and as you and i were saying earlier, there's probably a greater awareness now than there ever was, and if we did the survey today, i would think there was even greater sentiment about how people use their data. >> how long ago did you do the survey? >> i'm not sure exactly. but definitely before all this news that came out. >> so now that we have all this wealth of information about what's being done with our information, what can you do? what can i do to protect my personal information online? >> there's a couple of things to think about. first of all, when you share that data, generally speaking that data is shared forever, so as your life changes, as your relationship status changes, that data stays in place.

that's one of the things that facebook talked today that they're going to try to make that easier. another thing that's important is it's going to be key now for companies that are collecting your data that make private dash boards to help you manage your data. i think the relationship between people and these brands is going to change. and now people will actually gravitate to brands that respect their privacy and give them these levers to pull. >> and maybe you can filter stuff out, so that all your information isn't on there. which percentage of people are likely to delete facebook based on your reports. >> i can't speak to what people will actually do, but i think people will change their behavior and change the relationship they have with these services over time because they're just so aware now of what these services are actually doing with their data. >> thanks for coming in.

$130,000 nondisclosure agreement she signed just 11 days before the 2016 election. the white house has denied the president had any knowledge of the agreement between daniels and cohen. saying in a statement, the contract is valid on its face and a defamation action against cohen is frivolous on its aven avanatti says he expects the depositions will take place. he said we expect to be placing the president and his fixer under oath in the next couple months. according to a cnn poll, trump's favorability numbers are higher than ever. daniels attorney says he wants a public trial with a jury. >> t president trump thinks there's a good chance north korea wants to move tiger woods

wlall right, we are congressman eric swallwell who's back in the bay area. a lot to talk about. a lot of news developments

today, first off, we were telling our viewers about north korea and the president thinks that the country wants to actually move toward peace. do you think that's realistic and what do you think about the president's upcoming meeting with their leader? >> i'm encouraged that the north korean leader says he's willing to denuclearize and we need to really press him on that. what i'm concerned about is that we on one hand are seeking denuclearization of north korea, and the president i fear in the next couple of weeks will be walking away from the iran nuclear agreement and also nominated john bolton to be his national security advisor. if you walk away from that agreement, it's hard for the north koreans to believe that you could we need to listen to the north korean leader so we understand where they're coming from and how far they're willing to go. >> let's talk about russia and this ongoing investigation.

there are rumors that the president wants to pardon some of those involved in the russia probe. is that actually possible? >> he could seek to do it. i would submit that his pardon authority is not absolute. and that that would cross the line into obstruction of justice. if it is true that his lawyer, mr. dowd was talking to michael flynn and paul manafort, prior to those two being indicted and floating the idea of a pardon, to me, that feels again like obstruction of justice. and that would fit the pattern that we have seen from this president, which every step along the way, he has obstructed bob mueller's investigation and so, again, it's really in congress we're not helpless, we can submit bob mueller's role, we can make sure that this president is held accountable and most importantly for the voters, we can do all we can at this next election in november that the ballot boxes are protected. >> more shakes up at the white house, the white house announced a new director of veterans

affairs. >> this concerns me, because veterans deserve to have someone that knows them, is qualified can speak to them on the concerns they have about mental health, and about finding a job in this new economy if they're younger veterans. we hope the senate confirms someone who will be like that. the last director -- this should be bipartisanly received because this issue is really important. >> let's go back to stormy daniels, what are the implications with the president facing a lawsuit and the concerns over campaign donations? >> the concern to me is the length that the president's team is willing to go to protect him. and so as someone involved in the russia investigation, we have had so many witnesses come in and i fear that so many of

them either are lying through their teeth as we talk to them, or are doing all they can to refuse to answer because they want to protect him. so if what mr. cohen did, michael cohen, the president's lawyer, paying ms. daniels $130,000 to be silent, if that is true, i fear that we have a whole host of trump campaign and family members who in the russia investigation are willing to do anything to protect the president. so we don't have the subpoena power on the democratic side in congress, the republicans do. but we can find out how far they have gone to protect the president and whether they have told the truth request us if we exercised that subpoena power, to obtain call records and email records because these people are not to be taken at their word. >> tell us what you're doing in the bay area. >> i wish it were recess. recess is like on the jungle gym with your family. i've been holding town halls, i

was at a biotech company this morning holding a town hall there, and just trying to get a handle on what matters to my n constitue constituents, they work hard, they want to see the benefit of that, they want to pay for their children's education, they want to spend less time commutincomm. we a those are the priorities here at home. >> we appreciate it, congressman eric swallwell, thank you. okay, we'll start with live doppler 7, we have got sunny skies all across the bay area, that's been the pattern all week long. look for low temperatures to be in the upper 40s to right around 50. it the 12-hour planner shows that by noon we'll see temperatures in the 70s already. by mid afternoon look for low to mid 80s near the bay and inland.

and it's going to be slow to cool down tomorrow night. 77 at san francisco and across the bay in oakland. up in the north bay look for low 80s, 81 at concord, 81 at livermore, down in south bay, the likely high in san jose, and here is the accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow will probably be the warmest day of the forecast period. it will turn cooler in most locations over the weekend, but only by a few degrees, so look for bright sunny skies easter weekend, and a cooling breeze, but temperatures will be on the mild side, and that mild pattern will hold right around to the middle of next week. north atlantic right whales could be on the edge of extinction. it's the end of the whales four-month long winter birthing season, but researchers say no there are fewer than 100 breeding females left in the
