mark zuckerberg is on capitol hill meeting with senator mark warner. he is here to talk about washington's next steps with facebook, they are coming. huawei took a big shot at apple. we're all over it. first recession and no more cuts. despite cutting rates the president is not happy with jerome powell at all. in case you have any doubt, listen. >> i don't think he knows how to play the game very well. they raised too fast. i've been saying this openly. and they have lowered too slow. he took 25. some people were hoping for 50. he did 25. i'm not thrilled with the fed, despite that we have an incredible economy and no inflation. >> chairman powell's job is safe? >> yeah it is safe. sure, why not? >> you paused? >> i don't pause. he has a job, i'm disappointed in it. i'm very disappointed in him. neil: the job is safe because the president can't fire him. once appointed unless serious malfeasance or crime he is there, he is there for another couple years. of course the president is free not to reappoint him. that is assuming the president is still in of

late yesterday ted barrett, our colleague who covers congress, he spoke to mark warner who's the ranking intelligence committee. and warner said he thought there was going to be resolution here where congress would be able to see this material. so, you know, figure that in. >> well, that's great. we might today. because the inspector general is going to capitol hill. and hae's meeting behind closed doors. maybe they will have a resolution. it doesn't necessarily mean that the public will know. which i think would help people heave a sigh of relief. >> of course. that's what this is designed for. is for classified -- people who have access to classified information to go through the appropriate channels where their protests can be heard but classified information can be protected. and if it goes to the intelligence committees, then the classified information will be protected. because that's what these committees do. >> and here's where it gets a little confusing. we don't know if it's classified information. the way it's been described is a promise was made. so we don't know if that's pr

>> reporter: he's trying to have a bipartisan investigation, the same thing mark warner, vice presidentthe committee, is trying to conduct, same way they conducted the russia investigation. the question ultimately is what do they ultimately find, how quick do they come up with answers? after all the russia investigation is still ongoing in their committee. they have yet to issue a report on how they determine the issue of collusion, for instance, which was one of the central areas of their more than two-year investigation. they're planning to do all of this mostly behind closed doors. they already tried to get an interview with the whistleblower. it's the same thing happening with the house intelligence committee. but john, the house intelligence committee is moving at a much different pace. i just talked to adam schiff, the intelligence committee chairman, he says he wants to move ahead with hearings as quickly as possible. he said they could be as soon as next week with witness depositions and the like. he wouldn't say who he want to bring forward, but as the democrats move forward wi

mark warner is raising serious concerns about the president's efforts saying the president's attack could have a chilling effect and said he is concerned about the whistle-blower's safety. democrats believe they want to push and get this investigation done. >> there's a reason there's a whistle-blower statute and the reason they are protected in this country. thank you for that reporting. let's talk about it with andre carson. he's a member of the int intelligence committee. it's your committee behind the subpoena. the president has cited executive privilege to shield documents from making their way to congress. do you expect something to be different this time. do you expect rudy giuliani to fully cooperate and hand over all those documents? >> well, as a former prosecutor and a lawyer, i would expect for mr. rudy giuliani to understand this process. i would hope he would act in a cooperative manner. if he's someone who is truly concerned about the preservation of our democracy and upholding our rights of congress he should be willing to cooperate. >> on friday he said your committee is

virginia's democratic senator, mark warner saying this is something the president shouldn't be doingt does risk national security precisely because he has done so. >> again, i have full confidence in the secretary of defense that he is not going to take money that is going to impact his ability to safeguard the national security of this country. that i have confidence in. again, you'll have to ask the secretary about that. but this wall is part of a national security crisis we have right now on this southwest border. so i would say to all politicians, all of congress, we've been asking for them to come together to pass meaningful legislation to address this crisis and they have refused to do so. they failed the american people. so the president is doing eve everything he has to do it and he's doing it and the wall is part of it. >> neil: so this move to cancel that $3.6 billion because his critics say he pulled a fast one, the secretary of defense and president as well, you think that would be a bad idea? >> absolutely. we've been saying a long time, the wall -- let's be clear. as pa

mark warner saying confronting china is the foreign policy challenge of our time.e president trump should have aligned our partners and then taken on china as a united front. >> acting in isolation only enables china to play countries and companieses off one another. undermining our leverage and impact. especially when so many countries actually do share our commitment to democracy, global security, and a rules-based trading system. >> reporter: the u.s. is at a stalemate with the european union over trade because the e. will not include agriculture in it. the trade deal with japan has been announced in principle but notifnot finalized. the president meeting with japan's prime minister in new york and the usmca has been agreed to but not ratified. the president has been comfortable taking on trading relationships, taking on our partners and fixing the trade deals alone. back to you. cheryl: edward, thank you. it's interesting, because president trump apparently was caught offguard over why the u.s. canceled this week's planned visit by chinese officials to u.s. far
