stuart: jim rogers is with us, by the way. he is making comments about the beatles. . >> i remember them very well. i wrote their songs. stuart: oh. stay there, jim. i have more for you in a second. gina has pell is about to -- haspel is about to be sworn in as head of cia. president is about to speak. don't know what he has to say. if he does, you will know them first, that's a fact. >> >> check the big board. this is the high of the day. we're up 326 points, well above the 25,000 mark, moving higher. look at that 25,044. big tech names higher and very smartly so. facebook, amazon, apple, microsoft, all of them on the upside. how about sears, extending 15 year credit card relationship with citi. that is apparently good enough for a 2 1/2% gain for sears at $3 a share. >>> treasury secretary mnuchin says the trade war with china is quote, on hold. jim rogers is here, legendary investor. great to see you. you rate. >> no, no. stuart: stop that. >> booyow means no. in chinese. stuart: mandarin or cantonese. >> i don't know. stuart: i'm a cantonese speaker myself. last t

and i knew that both jim and myself and jim clapper, mike rogers at nsa, we wanted to make sure thater appropriately, but also delicately because we were in the midst of a presidential campaign and it involved a very sensitive and ongoing counter intelligence investigation that involved potentially u.s. persons. and so there was a real effort to try to make sure we brought the expertise to bear, at the same time did not widen the circle of knowledge beyond what was absolutely necessary. >> did you know at the time that the fbi had gone over to interview an australian diplomat about his contacts with the former campaign aide george papadopoulos? >> i was aware of some of the activities that the fbi was involved in. i'm not going to confirm or deny my knowledge of specific events, but jim comey and i stayed in touch and he shared with me some of the things that the fbi was doing, as i was keeping him well informed about what the cia was involved in. >> so, one of what the stories does, i believe for the first time, is reveal the contrast between how the hillary clinton investigation wa

i know that we had in meek rogers, jim clapper, john brennan, the previous heads of the three of the intelligence agencies, they all recon firmed that our conclusion, their conclusion that should be, they also indicated that there was even further proof when bob mueller brought a series of indictments against individuals connected to the internet research agency, the group that was doing a lot of the social media posting, that that, those indictments further confirm that the goal of the russians was to help trump and hurt:i can't -- i frankly have stopped listening to some of the stuff that comes out of the house majority. it's been so disconnected for any kind of factual basis. candidly, that's why it's been so important that in the senate we keep our efforts bipartisan, the chairman and i. our committee, we go from tom cotton on one hend to kamala harris on the other. we've all stayed united on our reports so far. >> how much more work. what does your committee need to do to complete its investigation and when will that be? >> we've still got three important pieces to finish. we've

they indicated until they brought in jim clapper, mike rogers of nsa, and former director of cia andhey went final with their assessment. i view it to be complete validation of what they have been saying all along. it was bipartisan. that is the refreshing aspect of this. >> the rope this is relevant is the president of the united states says that is a lie. that this is manufactured to undermine him by political enemies and they exist on both sides of the aisle. there is none on the house side. and that this is a witch-hunt. do you now believe these statements removes any chance of truth in those statements by the president? >> oh, look, the reality is what was pointed out yesterday by senators burr and warner. that's a truth. the russians did this. these were their purposes. now over here you may have some people in america trying to use that reality for their own political edge. but as president, president trump has got to separate his personal feelings about this from the strategic threat that is being mutt erred over here. he has yet been unable to do that. >> quick question. if

. >> i was up at the hill this morning along with jim clapper and rogers, former head of nsa.e testified in front of that committee. we answered a lot of questions that they had. i must say they are conducting their responsibilities in a very good manner. it's bipartisan. it's thorough. it'srigorous. all the things that the house counter-part has not done. i think there has been great leadership by senators burr and warner. their findings basically defended the intelligence community's assess meant. i have confidence that the senate intelligence committee's ultimate report will come out with some recommendations about how we can prevent recurrences of these types of efforts or at least make it much more difficult for foreign entities or malactors to interfere in the election. >> walk viewers through the difference between what the senate intelligence committee is doing and what robert mueller is doing. i think it's important to hear it from someone like yourself. explain the difference. >> well, bob mueller's charge as special counsel is the try to get to the bottom of russian

the senate intelligence committee hearing yesterday which john brennan and admiral mike rogers and i attended. jimeen there, in which the committee informed us that their bipartisan finding was to validate the findings of our intelligence community assessment of 16 months ago to include the fact that the russians were attempting to help trump win the election. and importantly, validated the soundness and integrity of our analytic trade craft. that set off, i think, was kind of the catalyst for a whole series of sequence of events to include, importantly, the special counsel investigation. >> yeah, director, here's what the president tweeted this morning. he said, "wow, word seems to be coming out that the obama fbi spied on the trump campaign with an embedded informant. andrew mccarthy says there's probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign. if so, this is bigger than watergate." that is an extraordinary claim. based on your experience, what is the likelihood that it's true? >> well, i think it's -- this is hyperbole. they may have had someone who was talki

it was working well with the personal relationship that you clearly had with jim comey, john brennan, mike flynn. admiral rogers, of course his predecessor. my sense was you guys made it work, because you had been working together for decade. i always worried if you didn't have the personal history together maybe we would have a problem. is that fair? >> yes it is fair. that is a concern, serving a long time in the intelligence community, i knew every one, seniors in the community, grown up with them, mentored many of them, had a lot to do with placement for position. i never, i knew that i didn't have a charter that i was going to be a czar or dictator. and i was there really to be a facilitator, integrator, promote cooperation through persuasion or control over if i had to. i tried to reserve those occasions where i did have to decide something, or make, issue make that the exception, not the rule. much better in this kind of arrangement where you're striving to achieve consensus. >> what, spend a minute, bring it up in your book about mike flynn. obviously at some level a tragic figure, ultimately pled guilt

retired national security agency michael rogers and former director of national intelligence jim clappermit now that the steele dossier and its clinton campaign-funded allegations did in fact influence the intel community assessment. we knew that, but it's nice to hear it confirmed. mollie hemingway is senior editor at the federalist and she joins us tonight. i know you've been following this carefully. a lot of these stories seem to lead back to this guy, john brennan. you would think as the former head of the cia, he is someone you would be able to trust, but he seems not only a liar, but an inept one. am i misreading this?st >> we have a problem with multiple heads of intelligence agencies, and that does includee brennan, who has a history of lying, specifically about spying on american citizens.de it's difficult to hold him, take him seriously but we've also had problems with falsehoods being said also by james clapper, who gave inconsistent testimony about his leaking to the media. and we've also had problems with james comey himself, whether he understands what a leak is anded how

rogers to congress. former director of national intel jim klapper also told cnn that the dossier was used in the assessment. let's discuss this and other developments with former federal prosecutor andy mccarthy, whose piece in the "national review" today is titled "retracting a retraction: fusion simpson stands by testimony that fbi had a spy in the trump campaign." ' great to see you. where are we now on this? brennan seems to be completely disgraced. he has been contradicted even by former obama intel chiefs. what gives? >> there are misstatements that you make which are intimate misstatements, and other stuff that you say which is not only wrong but like so galactic we stupidly wrong it's hard to explain. so let's think about the intelligent assessment is january 4th of 2017. by the time they get it, by the time they do it in october of 2016, the month before, they have used a dossier to go to the fisa court to get warrants. so why on earth if you are going to go to the fisa court and go through all the hoops that you have to do to get approval of the fisa warrant, go to a federal judge, swear out an a

that's why rogers is teaming up with democratic congressman jim cooper from tennessee to push for a new: to protect communications systems and other military assets in zero gravity"to make sure we avoid a space pearl harbor."their efforts recently got a boost from president trump."we're getting very big in space both militarily and for other reasons and we are seriously thinking of the space force." "supporters envision the space force being a component of the air force like the marines are to the navy."in a recent hearing the house armed services committee passed a bill that supporters describe as an incremental step to establishing the new branch. but ohio republican congressman mike turner doesn't want to rush changes before the department of defense is done studying the issue."if we're gonna ask dod to do a study, we (ken) "solo: a star wars story" premiered in los angeles tonight. fans lined up for hours for a chance to meet and get autographs from their favorite characters..... like chewbacca. the event featured a millenium falcon window made entirely of solo cups... and the ship'

joining me now, jim schultz is here, former attorney in the trump white house and jennifer rogers, a lecturer at columbia law school. do you believe that donald trump wants nothing more than to speak to robert mueller? >> well, i'm inclined to doubt it. this is kind of what he said about the tax returns as well. i would be happy to release my tax returns, my lawyers say i can't. he zndoesn't want to sit down wh them. this way he gets to have his cake and eat it too. he says i love to do it, i want to clear the air, they won't allow me to. >> we hear from the president that the mueller team is all democrats. and let's not get into it, because we already discussed a lot of that, we all know that mueller is a republican and everyone respects what he has done. that is a political argument, though, we know, and could be an effective one that we have heard from him before. but do you think this, when the president says that now, is the beginning of what he hopes is a legal argument in the case of a subpoena? >> no, i don't. i think the president's message is consistent with what giuliani s

the purpose of our hearing -- i say our- it was john brennan, mike rogers still on active duty no longer director of nsa and myself. jime. and what the purpose was was to kind of round out or complete the phase of their investigation, particularly as it pertain to the intelligence community assessment that we put out on the 6th of january of 2017. and obviously it was very gratifies that they agreed with our findings and also that they substantiated the annual itic integrity and trade craft employed in the generation of the intelligence community assessment. very gratifying. done on a bipartisan basis, cordial and collegial. and we had quite a bit of discussion. primarily a lot of questions about certain decisions we made about how we handled -- put together the ica as well as the rationale for how we handled the dossier. >> the ica is the intelligence community assessment. i want to ask you in terms of north korea it's now threatening to cancel the summit if the u.s. insisting on pushing it into a corner on disarmament. you've been involved in north korean negotiations you were there. is this bringsmanship or somethin

jim has been reporting. and jeffrey toobin, the wall street certainly is reporting that roger stone privately sought information he considered damaging on hillary clinton from wikileaks. we should note that the intermediary said the request was never passed along to assange. stone says he still hasn't been interviewed by robert mueller. does any of this surprise you? >> this is actually one part of the mueller investigation that appears ready for charges. you know, mueller's office prosecuted a number of russians who were involved in social media and facebook and instagram during the election. what he has not prosecuted is anyone involved in the hacking, the hacking of john podesta's e-mails, the hacking of the dnc e-mails, democratic congressional campaign e-mails. that case has been investigated, and the interesting part about that case is that roger stone appears to be a target as well. in the other cases there's never been a nexus, never been a connection between the russians and the trump campaign. roger stone is potentially -- potentially, he denies it, a connection between the efforts to help trump and t
