good night from nbc head quarters in new york. this morning, all eyes are on wall street after the stock market took a massive plunge. the dow jones closed down almost 1200 points, the biggest point drop on record. plus, new overnight, the "new york times" is reporting that president trump's lawyers want him to refuse an interview with special counsel bob mueller. they are reportedly concerned he could incriminate himself through false statements. and in ohio, the president labels democrats calling some of these treasonist for their state of the union reaction. ♪ good morning, everyone. it's tuesday, february 6th.

ayman mohyeldin along with yasmin vossoughian. lawyers of president trump are steadfast against him sitting down with an interview with special counsel bob mueller. all of trump's attorneys and many west wing advisers are in agreement with this one with the except of special counsel ty cobb. but outside counsel has taken the lead for interactions with mueller and is against it. mueller will subpoena the president to testify before a grand jury setting up a court fight that would drastically move the investigation and could be decided by the supreme court. it would be certain to prompt accusations that the president is hiding something and casting a shadow over republicans as november's midterm elections approach. last night, lee zelden said president trump had to avoid the

fate of his other advisers. >> probably the biggest risk, if he was talking to his own attorneys with regard to a meeting is just a trap. michael flynn didn't get in trouble for underlying activities that he was being asked about. it was the fact that, you know, when peter struck and others were asking him about it, he didn't tell the truth. same thing with pop done his pleading guilty to the fbi. >> but that's not a trap. that's just lying. >> so the house intel committee voted unanimously yesterday to release the democrats' classified memo that responds to the ones republicans released last week accusing the justice department and the fbi of misconduct in their warrant applications to spy on former trump campaign adviser carter page. the memo now heads to the white house for approval. if president trump objects to its release, it could still the be made public, but only if the full house votes to allow it, a move that would require at least two dozen republicans to side with democrats against the president. coming up on "morning joe,"

democratic members of the house intel committee discuss the decision to release the democrats' memo. >> and speaking of the republican memo, president trump shared his utmost respect for the author of it alleging surveillance abuses, representative devin nunes, a man of tremendous courage and grit, may some day be recognized as a great american hero for what he exposed and what he has had had to endure. yesterday, the house intelligence committee said the president and the trump foreign policy adviser george papadopoulos never met. here is a picture of the two of them sitting together at a table back in their march 2016 meeting that is being shared or was shared at the time by the president himself. nunes down played papadopoulos '

interaction. >> if papadopoulos was such a major figure, you had nothing on him. the guy lied. as far as we can tell, papadopoulos never had met with the president. and, look, getting drunk in london and talking to other -- and talking to diplomates saying that you don't like hillary clinton is really -- i think it's kind of scary that our intelligence agencies would take that and use it against an american citizen. >> all right. so the same the president who has praised the heavy handed tactics of authoritarian governments and who considers the media the enemy of the people just launched another attack on the on party in opposition. this time, accusing democrats of treason. a crime that's punishable by death. the offense, not clappinging enough during the state of the union. >> you're up there, you've got half the room going totally crazy, wild, they loved

everything. they want to do something great for our country. and you have the other side, even on positive news, really positive news like that, they were like death. and un-american. un-american. somebody said treasonist. i mean, yeah, i guess, why not? can can we call that treason? why not. i mean, they certainly didn't seem to love our country very much. >> i think someone needs to tell the president what treason means. >> i think somebody should show the president video of previous state of the unions where republicans don't clap. i guess he doesn't know what -- >> am mow of washington, d.c. joining us from washington, daniel, good to talk to you this morning. do you think that was treason? no, that's not the question. so we've seen the the case made by some of trump's legal team as to why they are against him sitting down for an interview with special counsel bob

mueller, pretty understandable considering the track record the president has on twitter, to say the least. while it might be legally safe for him to do this, to not sit down with bob mueller, how politically dangerous could this be? >> i think democrats would use this as a plungeon against trump because they would say what does he have to hide? why is he not talking to robert mueller, a republican, you know, i daresay, and also why can't he explain any connections to russia? and so trump himself as said he wants to clear his name. so he is -- he might go against his legal advice and actually talk to mueller. >> let's switch gears for a moment because i want to talk to you about the democratic memo that was just cleared for release by the house intelligence committee and the unanimous vote. it's now in the president's hands like the way it was with the republican memo just last week. do you think he will release it this week? if so, what sort of impact do you anticipate it will have?

is there any chance that, a, it will be redacted or the president may decide not to release it? >> we've heard mixed messages from the white house because, clearly, if trump releases this democratic memo, you know, it could have some negative consequences for him because it would totally undermine the previous nunes memo. so it's not in his political interest to release it. but you saw last night, you saw a -- you know, a unanimous vote by the house intelligence committee both republicans and democrats saying release democratic memo. so that almost gives trump an out saying, well, they want the memo out, so i'll just, you know, give it to the president. >> it would be the fair thing for the white house to do. but you can't help but think what the incentive is for president trump to release -- >> especially as daniel said, it would be against his own personal interest. >> he helped with the release. >> so it wasn't release my memo.

>> i want to turn to the shutdown deadline which is looming, as well. house republicans proposing a bill to boost military funding, a long-term with only a short-term extension for other federal agencies. sth doesn't seem likely to pass, daniel, pass the senate, that is. how much does this complicate negotiations to pass a spendinging bill and avoiding a shutdown? >> i don't think most americans are really paying attention to this in the first place. but, obviously, what the house does is they do these very conservative things to try to get a rise out of the senate and then the senate tells them -- and it gives them a dose of reality and says, we have to do it our way. and so we're not going to -- we're going to keep getting in this shutdown loop where you have these temporary spending bills. >> daniel, stick around. we're going to talk to you a little later on in the program. >> thank you, guys. and another volatile tradinging day may be on tap with stock futures turning positive after yesterday's massive drop across the markets.

the dow finished down nearly 1200 points after briefly falling as much as 1500 points earlier in the day. nbc news business correspondent jolene kent has more on what may be behind the dramatic drop. >> when the dow plunged below 25,000, it wiped out all of this year's gains. the bad news on wall street started with good news on main street, a strong january labor report, the unemployment rate staying hay 17-year low and hourly wages jumping nearly 3%. >> we know unemployment is low. we know more jobs are being created. we know wages are going up. what that means is that the federal reserve may start to raise interest rates and that is going to take money out of the stock market. >> investors worry a strong economy means rising inflation and questions on how much the new fed chairman, jerome powell, will raise interest rates. his predecessor, janet yellen, warned about the rising price of

stocks. >> it is a source of some concern that asset valuations are so high. >> the sell-off was the biggest point drop ever, but the percentage decline of 4.6% is far from record breaking. >> these are probably the biggest one-day declines that we've seen in about a decade. >> in president trump's first year in office, the dow soared more than 30%. >> everybody thought the market wag goes to keep going up-and-up up and it was never going to go down. so days leak this catch people off guard. >> as a long-term investor, you would welcome opportunities like this because this correction shakes the trees, brings prices back down, makes stocks more reasonable levels to invest in in. >> and we're going to have a lot more on this with dominic chu in just a few moments. but still ahead, the supreme court deals a blow to republicans in pennsylvania ahead of the 2018 midterm election. plus, the eagles return to philadelphia as super bowl champions. >> what kind of welcome do you think they got? >> a big one.

we're going to have those stories and of course a check on your weather when we come back. it's 6 am. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. and at our factory in boston, more than a thousand workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. as one of those workers, i'm proud to bring you gillette quality for less, because nobody can beat the men and women of gillette.

welcome back, everyone. joining us now for yesterday's plunge on wall street, dominic chu. the dow experienced yesterday its largest interday drop. what happened yesterday? >> so yasmin, ayman, it was the biggest point drop the in dow history. and it's an important distinction. the point drops will be bigger as the market rises, but they're not as big on a percentage basis. not the biggest move lower in history on a percentage basis. a lot of what is driving the market right now is this idea that we've been floating for so high for so long without any kind of a pullback that all of a sudden we are seeing a bit of a correction, a pullback to levels we typically would see in a normal market. what's happened over the last few years has not been

necessarily a normal market, but a lot of folks out there are pinning this to a number of different things, the idea that maybe the the market has gone too far too fast. a lot of that is driving the market action. >> is this a sign at all that the economy is weak.ing a little whit here or slowing at least? >> no. and that is a great point. it's not necessarily that the stock market is a perfect gauge for the economy. the degree is growing. it's not growing rapidly, but it's also not in recession. we're growing in that 2.5% to 3% range. we are earnings within the largest companies in america growing by double digit percentages. also sales have groan. all of those are what many economists and market watchers would say is good for the

economy. this is by no means an indicator that the u.s. is poised for any recession, just that they're revaluing the way things have moved in the stock markets. >> asian markets down, the nikkei in japan down almost 5% overnight. what do we expect to happen today in the markets when they open in a few hours? >> i can tell you what's going to happen, at least in the beginning of the day. it will be a down market again, although not down by as much as it was in the earlier session. as things stand currently, the dow would theoretically open up if the dow was down by another hundred or so points. that is important because at one point overnight, it looked as though the dow might open down another hundred points. this is not something that traders think will resolve itself in a day or two. >> and i think the underlying point a lot of people are saying is don't hit the panic button just yet.

coming up at 5:30, former treasury official and "morning joe" economic analyst steve ratner is going to join us on set with his analysis on yesterday's market drop, as well. and the u.s. supreme court announced it will not drop a pennsylvania court ruling for the state to redraw congressional districts for the 2018 election. justice samuel alito denied requests for a republican lawmakers for a stay on an order to redraw the district map that was determined to be unconstitutionally drawn to discriminate against democrats. the original ruling gave the state legislature a deadline of of this friday to pass a new congressional map and submit it to governor tom wolf who was, until february 15th, to approve it. according to the philadelphia inquirer, the legislature's two highest ranking republicans indicated that they will attempt to comply with the ruling but may pursue further legal action. if the legislature fails to make a new map by the deadline, the

supreme court will redraw the districts itself. bill, could be some snow days tomorrow in the northeast, especially in interior new england. >> we have a pretty good sized winter storm heading across the country, especially in the middle of the country today and into the northeast tomorrow. the cold air is in place. 10 in st. louis. negative 3 in kansas city. oklahoma city is at 11. plenty of cold air in place. here are our watches and winter weather advisories. so the blue is winter storm watches. that's about 13.5 million people. mostly interior new england. a couple of winter storm warnings have been converted over. all over state of vermont and upstate new york. let's time this mess out for you. today, it's not so bad during the day. rain breaks out pretty early across texas, louisiana, arkansas. notice some of the light blue pops up. this will be about 5:00 p.m. on tuesday. i have to show you some of the pictures from yesterday. this is what just light snow can

do in areas. it's only about 1 to 2 inches of snow. this is interstate 44 across missouri. there was eight straight accidents. a lot of them were jackknifed tractor trailers. this goes on for about a half mile to a mile. it almost leaks like some of the cars he went off the road to avoid these, numerous tractor-trailers. look at that one right there, just completely twist withed across the road. so this would be kind of the mess that they can be dealing with as we go throughout the day tomorrow. we take this front off the east coast by wednesday p.m. 8:00 a.m. around new york city, baltimore and d.c. here is the snow total map. for d.c., you are under winter weather advisory. maybe a quick burst of snow and then going over to rain. it's once you go into interior sections where the purple 6 inches, the reddish colors in the mountains, the cat skills,

the berkshires, that's when you could get a foot of snow. tomorrow is the travel day, when if you can avoid the airport and the roads, do so. the eagles receive a hero's welcome when they return home for the first time as super bowl champs. meanwhile, how best to honor a milestone night for an internet led legend, spelling his name correctly might be a good start.

welcome back, everybody. it's the bottom of the hour. let's start with the morning's top stories. investors here in the united states are bracing for the possibility of more volatility today after stocks fell sharply yesterday, slamming the breaks on the market's record run. u.s. stock futures paired earlier losses ahead of the opening bell.

the dow shed nearly 1200 had points yesterday after falling as much as 1500. the index fell below the 25,000 mark, erasing all of its gains for 2018. mean wile, the s&p 500 pulled back more than 4%. its biggest one-day decline since august of 2011 while the nasdaq fell more than 3.5%. >> the continued slide is being partially blamed on the market's anticipation of more interest rate hikes by the federal reserve as a result of the improvement in the economy. that issue is now front and center for the central bank's new chairman, jerome powell, who was officially sworn in yesterday amid the market turmoil. powell and his colleagues made no public comment on the sell-off and are expected to make no moves. meanwhile, president trump did not publicly comment on the market drop yesterday, but the white house did release a statement saying the president's focus is on our long-term economic fundamentals which remain exceptionally strong with

strengthening u.s. economic growth, historically low unemployment and increasing wages for american workers. the president's tax cuts and regulatory reforms will further enhance the u.s. economy and continue to increase prosperity for the american people. >> let's get more on the market drop and bring in willem marx. how are stocks overseas reacting following yesterday's sell-off here in the u.s.? i know that it had a pretty large impact there. >> yeah, it did. not just here in london, of course. we can start with asian markets in particular. we look across that region, they have now closed their trading in much of asia. they've been talking about an almost 7% drop in noise and is down, closing 4.7% in japan. at the close of the day's trading. you can see that some pretty striking numbers here in europe, as well. we've got the ftse 100 down more than 2%. the debt ra dax in germany down

pore than 2%. the same in france and italy, down almost 2%. if we look at some of the reasons behind that, the volatility index, the vix is a very good indication as to how mixed this trading has been. you can see that number rising there at the very ends of this chart here. this is a strong indication of quite how much that volatility has spiked and that is making a lot of people in the market very nervous this morning. if we look ahead to the trading open in new york in the next few hours' time, we can see here nasdaq looking like it will open very slightly positively. s&p 500 with about a third of a percent down expected and the dow, in particular, down to open around 1% lower than yesterday. so not nearly as bad as it was a few hours ago, but still not a very pretty picture, either. >> all right. willem marx breaking it all down for us. thank you very much. let's try to dig into this the deeper with former treasury official steve ratner. great to have you on set. we appreciate you getting up early for us.

>> i'm up already. >> be careful what you wish tore. >> "morning joe" starts in 28 minutes. >> you saw on that screen a lot of red and people talking about the word volatility. put that into perspective for us. how concerned should people be this morning? >> well, you should certainly be concerned. having said that, there is no way to predict markets. nobody is good at it. this volatility or the fluctuations in the market come after a period where there's been very little fluctuation in the market. so people have gotten very complacent. suddenly to see all of this is disruptive to their psyche, i would say. so i think you'll see more volatility. a lot of what you just saw there is europe and asia catching up to what happened here yesterday, not necessarily saying we're going to have drops of that magnitude. but let's go back, if you will, if you want to, to the real causes which you alluded to in your open. oddly enough, good news is sometimes bad news for the market. and we've had a lot of good

economic news. the wage numbers on friday, up 2.9% year over year, scared the market. the market felt that meant higher interest rates. higher interest rate are the enemy of the market because you can take your money and put it in bonds and earn a higher interest rate. that is the root cause to some degree of what's been going on. >> so if we have a rebound and more positive economic news, is that some sort of a prediction that this could happen again? >> i think if we continue to get strong economic news, there's a possibility -- not only of this magnitude, but, yeah, this is not the friend of the stock market. one other things to keep in perspective, this market has had a long run. this market has been almost straight up since march 2009. it's doubled in the last five years. some kind of a correction, albeit it didn't have to be quite this violent, was inevitable. >> let me ask you about president trump because he has certainly owned this success of the stock market. certainly the owned the run up.

and he touts it as part of every economic message that he gives out. what are the chances, do you think, that he's also going to own these losses from yesterday and should he? >> well, i won't predict markets, but i will predict fewer treats about markets from president trump. he should own it. and it's a serious point. while we definitely need tax reform in this country, you could make an argument that a stim lafb tax cut of this sort that was going to raise the deficit at this point in the economic cycle with unemployment this low was a little bit like putting gasoline on a fire. there are estimates that fist quarter gdp could be up 5%. that sounds like good news. it will not be good news for the market if something like that happens. >> thank you. by the way, steve will have a closer look at his markets with his analysis and charts coming up at 6:00 a.m. on "morning joe." switching gears, president trump in ohio yesterday made after offhand reference to seemed to invoke the house republicans memo which he said

vindicates him in the russia probe. while adam schiff said devin nunes appeared to be concealing the white house's involvement with it as nunes rejected reporters questions. >> did we catch them in the act or what? you know what i'm talking about. oh, did we catch them in the act. they are very embarrassed. they never thought they were going to get caught. we caught them. hey, we caught them. so much fun. they're like the great sleuth. >> mr. quiggley again and repeatedly asked the chairman whether he or any of his staff consulted with, coordinated, conceptualized this memo in combination with the white house. once again, mr. nunes refused to answer the questions. at the very end of the hearing, he gave a very lawyerly written response -- or read a written response saying that the white

house had not been involved in the actual drafting of the memo, but in terms of whether it was coordinated with the white house or they were consulted or strategized, the whole concept, he refused to answer those questions. >> is it a unanimous vote? >> not talking committee business. >> and on friday. >> and president trump's legal team is reportedly backing the idea of appointing a second special counsel white house deputy press secretary raj shawn said yesterday that president trump's attorneys have signed off on the idea of a special counsel to investigate the fbi and justice department's actions during the 2016 campaign. during a press gaggle on board air force one, shaw told reporters on the issue of a second special counsel, i believe the president's personal attorneys have spoken to that and they have called for further review and a second special counsel. >> with the threat of another

government shutdown looming, lawmakers have yet to reach a deal on daca that's going to get the support of the white house. senators john mccain and chris coons presented a bipartisan plan yesterday to provide new border security measures, but it does not include explicit funding for a border wall with mexico. white house legislative affairs director mark short said, quote, a lot would have to be added to the mccain-coons legislation. and the president tweeted yesterday any deal on daca that does not include strong border security and the desperately needed wall is a total waste of time. march 5th is rapidly approaching and the dems seem not to care about daca. make a deal. according to the a new monmouth university poll, two-thirds of americans say it is important for the president and congress to reach an agreement on the dreamers and 57% are opposed to

building a wall along the mexican border. and during a visit to ohio yesterday to tout tax reform, the president discussed nancy pelosi. take a listen to this. >> nancy pelosi, what she's doing to this country -- and she's gone so far left and schumers has gone so far left, oh, i look forward to running against them. she's our secret weapon. no, she's our secret -- i just hope they don't change her. there are a lot of people that want to run her out. she's really out there. i'm supposed to make a deal with her. >> back with us in washington to talk more about this is politico's daniel lipman. good to see you again. >> no talk of chuck and nancy and having chinese food with schumer. >> not this time. so we heard the president's reactions to sort of this bipartisan deal that was presented by mccain and coons. do you think this is potential

working starting point for a daca deal, especially you have these polls out there where all americans, they want to see the majority of americans really want to see something, some deal on daca. >> so both coons and mccain say they are just offering an option up. there are parallel negotiations going on from republican and democratic leadership to try to make a deal. but the issue is both sides don't seem to want to give up anything. democrats want want to have that wall. and president trump and conservatives in congress, they feel the need to stand strong because their own constituents are saying we have to have this wall. we have to end chain migration. and so this the deadline on march 5th is not a real deadline because courts have said, you know, you can't deport daca recipients yet. >> let me ask you about your reaction to this ideas that has been floated around about a

possible second special counsel to investigate the fbi and the doj. we heard raj shah say the white house is in favor of that. what are the chances we see that happen? >> it's very hard to see rod ros rosenstein or jeff sessions appoint that special prosecutor. raj shah is in a little trouble himself. reports are that he called trump deplorable during the campaign. >> that's interesting. calling your boss deplorable. thank you for joining us the. still ahead, the secretary of the senator of house speaker paul ryan's tweet of $1.50 a week speaks out on his criticized celebration. mri plus, bill karins will have the latest on more snow.
