the ground there as well as we have learned about the secretary of housing, urban development, ben carson is there, secretary of homeland security kristen nielson and more. so they can start to deal with those immediate issues that you have alerted us to. yet another round of weather coming through that area potentially as well. jonathan, thank you so very much. this is international women's day and we're celebrating the first mother in space. dr. annalee fisher joins me to talk about her decades long career with nasa and the progress being made for women astronauts today. we apparently play a critical role to talk about it. the u.s. economy is experiencing a sharp slow down and hiring last month. but president trump still is touting economic progress. what may be behind the decline and why there's good news in there, too. stay with me. >> i think the big news is that wages went up. that's great for the american worker. that is something that people -- i don't know if they ever expected to see that. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know there are so many

i joined the ben carson campaign.l campaign in march of 2016. >> how many face-to-face interactions did you have with the president? >> i had one face-to-face and dealing primarily with the senior level. >> jeff sessions? >> jeff sessions, steve bannon, flynn. i was working until the transition. i had to write the book because there was such a misunderstanding of what i was doing and who i am. this book clarifies that. >> a lot of what happened with you centers around a professor. >> yeah. >> who is he and how did you meet him? >> that's a very important question. the old narrative was this was some sort of russian intermediary that i met and discussed hacked e-mails. the reality is, i met this individual through an fbi intermediary in london at a school in rome that david ignatius of "the washington post" has written about. i'm meeting with him, introducing me to the niece of vladimir putin. vladimir putin has no siblings. it was entrapment to make it look like i was dealing with russians, which i wasn't. >> you were

here is what secretary ben carson said in a statement.discriminating on people based on who they are and where they live. using a computer to limit housing choices can be just as discriminatory as slamming a door in someone's face." we discussed this with selina wang and naomi nix. selina: this caught facebook off guard. last week facebook settled lawsuits, saying they would overhaul their ad platform so that ads will not be able to do this micro-targeting on areas like gender and sex. hud is arguing that does not go far enough and they are charging that facebook still allows discriminatory ads to exist. they allege there is the ability for advertisers to target based on where they live, drawing a red line around these areas. they also alleged facebook could enable off-line data to enable machine learning what the characteristics part of these people based on protected groups. even if they are not explicitly allowed to target those groups. emily: facebook's statement -- "we are surprised by hud's concerns and have taken steps to prevent a

ben carson was here.or shelby, senator doug jones, congressman mike rogers and the governor was here. so were other dignitaries. very nice for them to come by, to bring attention to it. that is what got us on the radar to declaring a national emergency. that is what we really needed. we have, smith station alone, we have 40 people displaced. we have 70 homes that are damaged. these funds and then coming brought attention to that. it will in turn bring us a lot of help. melissa: at times like this some people say that, you know, they don't necessarily think it's a great idea for the president to come because of resources involved in safe guarding him and welcoming him. as somebody who is there trying to clean up and pick up, is it better to have him come by? >> well you got to understand too, with alabama we're very red state and by him coming it was encouraging to a lot of the people and for him to come and spend time with the people. it was just kind of, way i looked at it, it was like a father figure. a

. >> you know, ben carson came up with the idea that was quite similar to this when he was candidate,low free speech should have their federal funding taken away. i think that's a step further than what we are seeing right here. what's interesting is president obama in 2015 said that liberal college students shouldn't be coddled. i agree with that assessment. what we are seeing, especially in my generation, millenial generation, we continue to see folks get coddled. 36% of students say they require safe spaces on college campuses, 57% of college students said they feared being in school due to president trump's election. so i think what this provides is at least some ability to require institutions to not shut down free speech with voices like ann coulter coming on the campus and any other conservative commentators. we need to be able to freely give our opinion and be respected. charles: what about that, rashad? you know this better than most. you live it. the idea that progressives who preach tolerance don't -- i mean, we see it over and over again when it comes to the institutions d

at my work, everything about my career leading up to joining these two presidential campaign of ben carsonpaign and donald trump campaign were about undermining russian influences around the world. i have no reason to believe that russia did not try and interfere with the 2016 election and i believe that many other government tried as well. any presidential campaign of the election season is the most highly watched event around the world. both allies and foes are going to try to interfere. if russia is the high topic and we are going to focus on them, we should. they should be punished but we should look at other facts as well. >> our intelligence agency have concluded. george pappapadopoulos, thank y for joining us. >> appreciate it, katy. >> president trump wants to replace obamacare for the election, just do not ask them how. >> what is the plan so 20 million americans are not suddenly without health insurance? >> you should rest assured that 20 million americans -- why should i be rest assure if there is no plans? >> what is the plan going to be from the white house in order to replace
