donald trump. donald. nice to talk to you. >> hi, greta. >> donald this morning i woke up and saw the unemployment level had dropped to 6.7% and i was absolutely ecstatic until i read further that for every job we added in december we lost five five left the work force. >> it is such an unfair number that 6.7 because as you know it's people that have given up looking for work, all of a sudden be they become essentially for purposes of numbers. they become employed it is such an outrage that they are allowed to use that number. as you know the numbers were terrible. because they thought many many people would be put to work and it was just the on sit. numbers terrible, artificial numbers because of what you just said. the actual unemployment is possibly 17%, greta it makes politicians look better. i'm not just talking about the president. makes them look a lot better. people give up looking for work and all of a sudden they don't count in the numbers. but even the biggest obama fans and the biggest administ

donald trump, professor donald trump is on your side. it's very expensive global warming bs, that's a scientific term, it's got to stop. professor erick erickson says the difference between the people who believe in the second coming of jesus and those who believe in global warming is that jesus in fact will return. can you explain to me why you're on the side of professor donald trump? >> absolutely. happy to do it. 97%, by the way, is a bogus term. they threw out about 97% of the literature they're looking at because it didn't say anything. >> because it wasn't peer reviewed. >> but it doesn't matter because what they agree on is so innocuous that all of what you call deniers agree with it as well. na the world is getting warmer, all right? and that some of that warming is due to man, maybe a significant amount. the debate should be over how much warming are we going to have? and even more importantly than that, what is your legislation going to do to combat it? that's the one you can't beat. >> first of all, the legislation that we'd

the death of donald yazi also affected me. he was my neighbor. he was my neighbor since 2009. for five years, we were not friends, we were neighbors. we were friends as neighbors. he he would pass me, he would smile. he he would say hello. for five years his warmth brought a little joy to my life. his loss -- again, brought profound sadness to me. i want to thank the supervisors, all the supervisors who mentioned pedestrian safety as an issue. i commend supervisor campos, his upcoming hearing. i hope to attend that. and supervisor kim for her support for the family. you know, this death of donald yazi was entirely preventable. this was a preventable accident. avalos mentioned new york city's goal of zero fatalities in 2021. we can do that here, one small change that could have prevented donald yazi's death would be to require recology a company with not a good history lately, a second driver on the trucks. you have large trucks, especially in the tenderloin where i live, where donald lived, trying to back up a hill, this truck was trying to move on a hill with one driver, no b

peter bevacqua, donald trump, thank you very much.e speak. thank you. >> thank you very much. tracy: yes, i can feel it, i am channeling it. leave it or not from golf to baseball. the new york yankees signed surprise japanese pitcher masahiro tanaka 2a, wait for it, $155 million, seven-year contract. this is the moment i ask myself why i don't play baseball. the fifth-largest steel for a picture in history. the yankees must pay a $20 million fee to masahiro tanaka's japanese team. he cap enoug nasi vessel yankeed ellsbury, mccann and others. totaling $438 million. quite a payroll. that just means the price for a seat in the stadium will be a cool million dollars. ashley: a little after a quarter until the hour. let's get a look at the stocks, let's go back down to the new york stock exchange. jonathan was starting to ramp up into the earnings season, the market very topsy-turvy. can we expect more of the same? >> i think so. looking at earnings season historically over time, it is somewhat of a billy to the market. it seems now in the

>> guest: donald rumsfeld was interesting.nd he was obviously presiding over several years of the strategy and it didn't work. and he found out it was a disconnect and certainly in public or private, ari fleischer and karl rove, they probably wouldn't have gone had they known this. and they hadn't done it as well as they could have. and very early on he empowers dick cheney. when he talks about him having this influence, because he empowers him. and bush thinks about it in one of the reasons is that he begins to see the presidency at midpoint. and he begins to resent the notion that somehow he is not really in charge of his own administration. >> host: next we have sherry and dayton beach. excuse me, daytona beach, florida. >> caller: hello, mr. baker. november of 2001 bush overturned in 1978 presidential records act and he signed an executive order blocking all presidential documents going back to the reagan administration. as many in congress called the unconstitutional. my question is after bush left office, are those presi

. >> i saw some rumblings about donald trump. could he be governor of new york? >> highly unlikely. >> i think it would be a fascinating election to coverage. i'm excited for it. >> the senate could flip. >> panel, thank you. >>> straight ahead, 50 shades of confusion. americans from coast to coast running into problems as obama kicks in. and is your state the most frustrated or the least? >>> governor chris christie and his new jersey pal senator cory booker burning all twitter on this cold day. that's next.

many people think he should have replaced donald rumsfeld earlier in the bush administration when the war started going so badly if iraq. did he a great job. he's not a politician. but there is some disquiet that he revealed what happened in private conversations with the president in the inner council. put that aside. now he says hillary clinton in the run up to the 2008 presidential primaries was concerned about her votes and was vote not guilty a way that she didn't feel to make a political point. i guess that's damaging to hillary clinton. it doesn't raise to the level of a crime or anything like that. politicians are self-servingful politicians are ruthlessly pragmatic. >> so a lie is on the line where people are getting in there and saying people are going to die -- >> i don't in any way seek to minimize that. i think that it's really deplorable and who -- wasn't it john kerry who said famously in vietnam, who wants to be the last person to die in a losing cause? barak obama never believed in

you know who you remind me of, my friend donald trump.t you to hear what donald trump had to say. i hear that is good company. i want you to hear -- >> he is a friend of mine. he is a good guy. he's one e-mail away from a disaster. >> with friends like -- >> you mean one more e-mail. >> let's get back to reality here. you ran for governor. you know the importance of the republican governor's association. chris christie is now in charge of that. do you think it is fair for him to stay in that role, that key role for your party while he is going through all of this and the best help he is getting is on "crossfire" and donald trump. >> i think just from the perspective of setting aside this as an issue in other races it makes since for him to step aside in that role. he does not serve the goals of that organization by staying as chairman. t that doesn't mean any of the charges political or otherwise are substantive or not but perception is reality. >> people have said it about chris christie this whole time it is all about chris christie, a

tacky from donald trump? >> from donald trump. >> wow.s may have been tacky, but tacky doesn't send you to jail. far more serious was the allegation that kozlowski literally stole money from tyco. he and his second-in-command, mark swartz, were charged with stealing $170 million and pocketing an additional $430 million through the sale of company stock while lying about tyco's financial condition. the prosecution accused kozlowski of granting himself unauthorized bonuses and running hundreds of millions of dollars worth of personal expenses through interest-free tyco loan programs. no expense was too great or too small to run through tyco. none of this, claims the prosecution, was authorized by the tyco board, and the jury agreed. guilty. >> i am absolutely not guilty of the charges that were brought upon me. there was no criminal intent here. nothing was hidden. there were no shredded documents. nobody was told not to say anything. all the information the prosecutors got was directly off the books and records of the company. >> in the tr
