>> representative gowdy: i don't. readily concede i'm in an increasingly small group of republicans, i think bob mueller has overly distinguished career of service to our country. i don't think any of your viewers can think of a single thing he did as an fbi director that calls them to have a lack of confidence in him. i think most of our viewers have to be reminded that he actually was the fbi director or that he actually was a u.s. attorney, because he's a pretty apolitical guy. i see the reporting, i see the same thing you're making reference to that he and comey are friends. i'm not really sure what the definition of that is. i've got a lot of coworkers that it wouldn't stop me from investigating them or prosecuting them. they are not family members, they weren't business partners. i would encourage my republican friends, give the guy a chance to do his job. the result will be known by the facts covered by what he uncovers. if the personalities involved are much less important to me than the underlying facts. i wo

tomorrow sean hannity and tray gowdy the congressman. >> bill: are republicans turning the tables of democrats over russian collusion and multiple clinton scandals? investigations piling up this hour. lawmakers focusing on the obama administration, hillary clinton and former f.b.i. director james comey. where does this all go? a big part of our program today as we say good morning and welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm bill hemmer. >> sandra: good morning. i'm sandra smith. multiple new probes popping up in the last 24 hours. there are now five total active investigations. two house committees looking into the obama justice department's handling of the clinton email scandal. another house committee looking into that uranium deal with russian investors under president obama and senate and house investigation looking deeper into the notorious anti-trump dossier. >> bill: the news broke 12 hours ago. both the clinton campaign and the dnc helped to fund that document. meanwhile republicans spreading across the media landscape last evening with all the same message. they want answers on

i think that's what gowdy was driving at.. >> right. i think there is some indication of that already. for one thing we know that the fbi investigated and hasn't been investigating for quite some time carter page, an unpaid advisor to the campaign at one point. and, you know, we know that there was some surveillance related to him. t and we know that, you know, his interactions, the alleged in some of these alleged interactions with russian figures were looked into by the fbi. >> bill: so you can consider that right? and carter page says he has had nothing to do with this. >> he denied any wrongdoing at all. >> bill: he popped up in a lot of tv interviews over the summer and essentially disappeared. i think what he was driving at gowdy's position, he believes the justice department is stonewalling him on a bunch of matters that they want and can't seem to get information they are looking for. the question is why. i think the question is robert mueller now taking charge of this information and preventing others from getting access to it?

. >> chairman, gowdy, thank you for testifying to testify for 2020 census. the technologies if appropriately deployed can improve our nation's response rate and secure citizens' data, this technology has not been effectively planned or managed and much work remains to deliver it. three areas require congressional attention to associate with the technologies, they are schedule, security and cost growth. i will expand on each of these starting with schedule. the bureau needs to deliver 44 systems, some are new systems in infrastructure while other changes to existing systems. clearly the internet response capability, mobile devices, centralized components are critical systems. systems need to be ready for end test that started in august to ensure that they are integrated appropriately. the bureau has missed many milestones and currently four of the 43 have completed development and testing o. of the remaining 29, 29 has delivered functionality, many of these systems are key delivery dates in early 2018 so that they can be included in the test. these systems in

(track) congressman trey gowdy urged his g-o-p colleagues to keep an open mind. (sot rep trey gowdy, r-sc) (fox) "bob mueller has a really distinguished career of service to our country. i would encourage my republican friends - give the guy a chance to do his job." (track) it's unclear who alerted the media to news of the indictments. some white house allies are calling for another investigation... into the leaking of supposedly secret grand jury proceedings. meg oliver, cbs news, new york. on wednesday, the senate intelligence committee will hold a hearing to discuss how social media influenced the 2016 election. representatives from google, twitter, and facebook are scheduled to testify. a small montana power company is reponding after puerto rico pulled the plug on the company's massive contract to help restore power to hurricane victims. the u-s territory signed a "no bid" contract to pay up to 300 million dollars to whitefish energy. but that contract drew widespread outrage -- and puerto rico scrapped the contract. white-fish responded saying it is very di

and then what trey gowdy is saying is very serious.somebody else is unmasking and they don't have the authority to do it but doing it in her name, that's a very serious allegation. >> bill: that's the second question. under the law, does the law allow others under her supervision or in her department to go ahead and make these requests? >> no, not without her permission. and again, there are very few people -- there is a very strong paper trail on this. but very few people actually have this ability and authority to unmask. for her to testify under oath, which is what mr. gowdy is saying, that she didn't authorize these, somebody should be going to jail on this stuff. if they don't have the authority and they are unmasking, that's against the law. >> bill: what do you think? what's the truth here? what's going on? >> look, with the comey memos, that's unclassified documents, the public should see that and congress should have that immediately. when mr. sessions comes before the senate they should ask him publicly if he will release tho

representative trey gowdy simon mueller on "fox news sunday."d out about the impending arrest. >> we don't know who's being charged, what they are being charged for. it was stressing to him the importance of setting up the leaks with respect to serious investigations. make no mistake the material is a violation of law. cheryl: adam schiff, top democrat on the house intelligence committee had this to say about who could be indicted. >> the two people i think justin press reporting that it's like to be mike flynn or paul manafort. we haven't been informed of who it is. >> who and what are the charges. president trump unleashed a firestorm over the weekend never seen such republican anger immunity if they had concerning the lack of investigation on clinton now $12 million. the uranium to russia deal. so much more. instead they look at phony trump, russia collusion which doesn't exist. dems are using this which is terrible and bad for a country. but the republicans are fighting back like never before. so much guilt by democrats and clinton and now t

rice. >> good afternoon, chairman, go gowdy. i appreciate the opportunity to testify about the bureau's 2020 life cycle cost estimate. we all support the bureau's ultimate goal. but over the last several years we have produced a number of reports that have found weaknesses in the how the bureau allocates costs, collects cost data and estimates cost for the 2020 census. my testimony today provides additional found that the bureau's 2020 census life cycle cost estimate cannot be validated. second, much of our work throughout this decade reveals cost overruns, unaccounted for cost, and decreased cost avoidance. to the first point, the bureau's cost estimate is not auditable. it takes into account more than 100 inputs, but when we tried to verify their accuracy during the 2014 census test, there was no supporting documentation. additionally, we evaluated the interactive review portion of the inoffice canvassing operation and found that the estimate was derived from undocumented verbal communications. this lack of documentation preve

so is trey gowdy.tor in all of washington, trey gowdy. he is very concise, very deliberate. i think he might be as respected as any lawmaker on both sides. ainsley: just like the song says, let's get it started. we begin this hour with fox news alert. doj lifting a gag order on fbi i am fornash at ant with critical information about the russia uranium deal and what role secretary of state hillary clinton played. brian: so many details. this morning the story is evolving by the second. steve: griff jenkins joining us from washington what we do know. good morning, griff. reporter: this is moving very quickly this investigation. senate judiciary chairman chuck grassley who was on, has called for the gag to be lifted on the fbi informant. grassley called for a special counsel into the uranium deal which needs to be independent into the current probe of russia head about the russia meddling in the elections. grassley says we may or may not ever know the identity of the informant. they may protect him for hi

they were sealed under federal judge's order as congressman trey gowdy, a former federal prosecutor himselfrustrated by these leaks. >> we don't know who is being charged. we don't know what they are being charged for. the only conversation i have had with robert mueller, it was stressing to him the importance of cutting out the leaks with respect to investigation. make no mistake exposing grand jury material is violation of the law. >> speculation from lawmakers like adam schiff, ranking member of the intelligence committee, says he doesn't -- he hasn't been officially afforded the charges mike flynn or campaign chairman paul manafort was suggested. when pressed if the president was under investigation this h. to say. >> the president is not under investigation. is that your conclusion? >> i can't comment on that, george. i can't answer that one way or the other. >> one way -- you wouldn't know whether robert mueller is investigating the president? >> i can't comment on that at all. >> meanwhile president trump unleashed a twitter storm russia and democrats. including this one. never seen

so i'm sure he's -- >> in fact, today trey gowdy as you mentioned, he weighed in and said he's one ofepublicans who thinks special counsel robert mueller should not resign and believes he's apolitical and impartial where do you stand on the investigation into whether there was collusion between russia and trump campaign and whether there may have been any obstruction of justice? >> it's hard to comment when all i see are news accounts. i'm not in the committee meeting itself or holding the hearings and we don't really get access to that other than news. this has become a very exciting issue. again, i emphasize i'm concerned that there's been a leak from the grand jury. that's the sacred place where people go to make determinations about indictments and the fact it's been leaked to the media, it sounds like it -- i don't know if it's drib or accidental but that's been an issue going on in government for quite a while this year, something that's really come to light. i think trey gowdy is probably interested in getting to the bottom of why there's been a leak on something so important a

trey gowdy, what he said before is right. it's problematic if the f.b.i. and department of justice are relying on this information from a private contractor to start a federal investigation. it is not problematic, though, for generally speaking, i don't want to take any staunch positions here but generally speaking campaigns pay private organizations to do background checks, to dig up dirt on opponents. that's not abnormal. it would be abnormal according to republicans that we speak to on capitol hill if the justice department was then taking that information and using it in an actionable way. that's what republicans are going to want to know. >> jon: this christopher steele who provided much of the information in the dossier was a former british intel agent the f.b.i. had used him before, trusted him and why they were willing to rely on some of his statements. so the democratic national committee is saying look, tom perez was not our chairman then and we weren't involved. therefore we kind of wash our hands of this. does that wash? can they get away with

what gowdy needs to be doing is investigating the four american heroes that died. but the most of recent one, we had 11 committee hearings on bengazi. let's have at least one. charles: i'm pretty confident we'll get to the bottom of what happened in niger and maybe in benghazi. steve bannon has the best of intentions when it comes to the president. he made a phone call friday saying it's time to go to war with a gop fundraiser. we'll talk about it next. charles: more breaking news on twitter. it sound 752 accounts linked to russia. it has suspended all the accounts and have given congressional investigators the account names. this a report that says former trump strategist steve bannon has declared war on mega donor paul singer. he said he plans to go off the chain to destroy singer since he's a major backer and played an intricate role in first hiring fusion gps to discredit trump. jennifer, let me start with you. this battle brewing, if you will. paul singer was a never trumper initially. he freely speaks his minds and tosses his money out there. the idea that he

trey gowdy and other top republicans suggest the leaks to the press could be criminal.d with robert mueller, it was distressing to him the importance of cutting out the ls investigations. it's kind of ironic that the people in charge with investigating the law and executing the law would violate the law. make no mistake. disclosing grand jury material is a violation of the law. somebody violated their oath of secrecy. >> kimberly: it's true. >> juan: go ahead. >> kimberly: they are supposed to reserve the sanctity of the grand jury proceedings and indictments. everybody knew before it was coming out. he was leaked. he's right, he is a former prosecutor. he knows it's inappropriate what transpired here. there was speculation before, early on in the investigation. obviously, manafort. we saw them target his house and go in there with a whole team. that was kind of unbecoming, done in such a large, flashy wa way. now the situation. they have to do an investigation into that. it's never ending, like a ball of yarn. metaphor monday. >> juan: dana mentioned papadopoulos was a

trey gowdy weighed in on the investigation during an exclusive interview on "fox news sunday."e says the charges appear to be an illegal leak of grand jury material. >> we don't know who is being charged. we don't know what they are being charged for. we don't know the time period. the only conversation i had with robert mueller, it was stressing to him cutting out the leaks. it's ironic that the people charged with investigating the law and executing the law would violate the law. eric: who could be indicted? we'll know in a few hours. >> that's another part of the story. how did news about these charges get leaked out? friday a grand jury signed off on the charges against at least one person. we don't know what the charges are or who they are. because a federal judge sealed that indictment which is supposed to keep it secret to protect the investigation. chris christie said it's dangerous to have these kinds of leaks in a high-profile case. >> it's supposed to be kept secret. let's remember, there are very strict criminal laws about disclosing grand jury information. we don't

congressman gowdy echoed former governor christie's sentiments. take a listen. >>> are what encouraged my republican friends, give the guy a chance to do his job. the result will be known by the facts. by what he uncovers. the personalities involved are much less important to me than the underlying facts. i would say give the guy a chance to do his job. >> wow. he is one of the few republicans championing mueller to be allowed to do his job and this sends a pretty strong message, does it not, to the republican leadership and the white house? >> he is one of the republicans speaking out about that today. most of the republicans who are on these panels that are investigating and looking into these allegations related to russian meddling and about collusion between the trump team and the kremlin have said it would be a mistake in the past for trump to try to fire mueller or move him in any way. it should be allowed to see itself out. what they also will tell you or in the past have said they believe that the process of the investigation will eventual

>> i would agree with trey gowdy.if anyone broke the law, clearly, they should be held accountable, but really is important to find out what the russians did to influence our election, so we can prevent them from doing it again in the future. robert mueller has a lot of experience with these investigations. he has a support of congress and the white house as we heard sarah sanders earlier today. we should all let him do his job so we can find out what happene happened. if anyone broke the law, hold them accountable, and make reforms so we do not have foreign interference in our future elections. >> dana: marjorie, why do you think nancy pelosi wants to have another independent investigation? >> politics. this is the standard practice when there is concerns about the process, the opposition says, let's look into this further, because it ties people up and diverts attention. it does all those things that makes it harder to pass legislation. the tag form that democrats do not want passed. i think the positive thing about

what trey gowdy said yesterday was exactly correct.eller probe play out, hopefully we find out at the end of it will be much a do about nothing. eight months ago we were saying russia had no involvement in any of this. both houses of congress and government intelligence community all accept, we accept that russia's involvement in the campaign, however you want to scale it was vast, intensive and well-thought out. charles: although i think conventional wisdom russia didn't sway the outcome of the campaign. >> yeah. charles: many people believe they attempted to have, play some sort of role. i think the politicization of it particularly from the media point of view somehow they ushered donald trump into the white house. but having said that, are you concerned about mueller's investigation? it has scene a very long time. comes up with a 31 page indictment that goes to 2006. manafort and his associate set up these companies and did something wrong, does this qualify as part of official russia investigation? is this what we were looking for

republicans as you saw trey gowdy are concerned about the consistent leaks. earlier on fox news we had a chance to hear from kellyanne conway laying out the president's view even as the speculation in washington reaches a fevered pitch. >> the president has said from the beginning people are cooperating and that he just thinks it's a hoax. the president continues to focus on what matters to people, though. just look at last week. it was a tremendously successful week for this president. that's why people aren't focused on it and focused on mr. mueller's investigation this morning. >> focused on the investigation but this is a week where the white house wants to drive the conversation in a different direction. we have taxes coming up. talking about a foreign trip, 12 days to say nothing of the fact the president is expected to name a new fed chair as well. this is an unfortunate politically speaking circumstance and could get tougher depending where the investigation goes from here. >> bill: let's analyze all this now based on what we think we know. byron york

in the said grant of familia the basilica in barcelona built by famous spanish architect and tony gowdy the book appears to ask big questions about humankind like where are we from and where are we going and as usual there's a mysterious code to crack for me as a kid codes were always fun on christmas morning in my house we would come down to the christmas tree hoping to find presents and instead we would find a little note card with a symbolic code on it and we would break the code and it would say perhaps you know go to the refrigerator so we run to the refrigerator open.

gowdy's comment was there.eally believe that the fbi did not know who paid for that dossier, i've got a bridge to sell you. there is no possible way that the fbi did not know who paid for that dossier. and, yet, month after month after month. >> laura: who is specifically lying at the fbi? >> we don't know is it just comey or is it the whole fbi? and let's just take -- >> laura: what you are saying about the fbi there, that's quite a charge. >> absolutely. this is the government out of control. >> laura: that this is, we hear about deep state, we hear about forces burrowed in the government working against the people's interest. the need to know. transparency in government. >> it's not okay for us to ask, since march, who paid for the dossier, what did you use the dossier for. and then it comes out only because of subpoenas to the bank and the bank was going to have to produce the subpoenas. >> laura: then all of a sudden they cut a deal. >> then they cut a deal. >> laura: where are we with these bank records?

joining me trey gowdy. sir, if i could begin with your previous life. you worked in law enforcement. you covered a lot of these cases. we are talking about investigators interviewing marilou danley, the girlfriend of stephen paddock. what would you want to ask if you were in the room? >> welsh it depends on whether or not i consider her to be a suspect or a witness. you got to be reallyreful because what you dot want is her invoking her fifth amendment privilege and not answering your questions. just an tune to detect a change in language, change in vocabulary, anything that we could use to detect the next shooting, if she's a witness. if she's a suspect, it would be a very different line of inquiry. but over what period of time did he amass the weapons and the ammunition? one thing i'm really curious, you say he sent you away to the philippines. you're the one that decided to go to the airport and board a plane. were you auspicious at all? how about the wiring of $100,000? i want to know what we could have detected this time that will enable us to bett

peter king cautiously supportive of him, trey gowdy, he has criticism, we don't understand where he was director of the fbi, why weren't there questions when there were apparently an informant who said hey, russia is trying to infiltrate this american trucking company, and i think those are legitimate questions. i have questions about his relationships with james comey, but for right now i'm going to go with trey gowdy. let me say this in terms of what counts to the american people, the stock market is at 23,000, 5 trillion new money coming into the economy because of the growth since this president has taken office, lowest unemployment rate in 16 years. a lot of things that matter to people have been delivered by this administration. during the clinton administration, there were 47 indictments, 14 people went to jail, and yet, he was re-elected. so i think that the american people realize that if things are going well in the economy, things are going well with them these kinds of sometimes very, very political and i think we can all agree this is a political investigation, these things

but house oversight committee chairman republican trey gowdy, he's cutting some slack for the former fbi. >> i see the reporting, i see the same thing you're making reference to, that he and comey are friends. i'm not really sure what the definition of that is. i've got a lot of coworkers, it couldn't stop me from investigating or prosecuting them. so they're not family members, they weren't business partners. i would encourage my republican friends, give the guy a chance to do his job. the result will be known by the facts, by what he uncovers. eric: and what will that result be? what can we expect? susan ferrechio is here, chief congressional correspondent for the washington examiner. first of all, who's your money or on or is the media speculation all wrong? >> well, i think a lot of us believe that the subjects of the investigation right now are paul manafort who worked briefly atop the trump campaign over the summer before the election or michael flynn who also worked for the campaign and then briefly served in the administration. these two we know have been looked at for things

we've already seen members of the gop, like trey gowdy, saying, let robert mueller do his job. >> that's what he's doing. garrett haake is live outside of the district court in washington, d.c. where paul manafort surrendered and where we expect him to make an appearance, 1:30 p.m. eastern time. garrett? >> reporter: yeah, that's right, ali. so paul manafort's day began at his home in alexandria, virginia. he left with his lawyer. he turned himself in at the fbi field office a few blocks from here at 8:15 this morning. he walked in a free man. until he's done with the court appearance this afternoon, he is in the custody of the fbi. now, we're sort of staking out one of the back entrances of the courtroom today. we sort of lost track of manafort in the shuffle between all these buildings here. trying to make sure he's -- if he's not already inside the building, we want a shop when he arrives. we believe he and his deputy rick gates are in the courthouse right now, essentially cooling their jets, waiting for the 1: 30 hearing, which is like an informal arraignment process. they'll be befo

in the said grant of familia the basilica in barcelona built by famous spanish architect and tony gowdy the book appears to ask big questions about humankind like where are we from and where are we going and as usual there's a mysterious code to crack for me as a kid codes were always fun on christmas morning in my house we would come down to the christmas tree hoping to find presents and instead we would find a little note card with a symbolic code on it and we would break the code and it would say perhaps you know go to the refrigerator would run to the refrigerator open the door and there's another note card with a code that said you know run out to the garage look in the woodpile and we'd run out you know and so we'd follow these codes in the code got harder and harder until finally the last one would send us back to the christmas tree and there were a presence dan brown was influenced by his parents his mother is a church organist his father was a math teacher science religion and secret codes are a common thread throughout his work. his international breakthrough came in two thous

. >> reporter: congressman trey gowdy urged his gop colleagues to keep an open mind. >> i think bob mull hear a really distinguished record of service. i would encourage my republican friends, give the guy a chance to do his job. >> reporter: it's unclear who alerted the media. some white house allies are calling for another investigation into the leaking of grand jury proceedings. >> on wednesday the senate intelligence committee will hold a hearing into the way social media influenced the election. representatives from google, scheduled to testify. >>> well, even if you spent the whole weekend watching football, i promise you, you haven't seen a touchdown like this. nothing can stop this team from playing the sport they love. >>> and can you be charged for just using a credit card? well, you ask, >>> do you carry cash any more? not too much, right? because it's so much more convenient to swipe your credit card or tap your phone with apple pay. when mary williams saw an extra charge tacked on, she asked the verify team for help. >> my name is mary williams. i was wondering if merchants

. >> congressman gowdy this weekend suggested there should be an investigation into the threesks grand jury investigation or robert mueller's investigation. do you think there should be an investigation or are all you asking for an investigation? sarah: we haven't asked her it. -- asked for it. i think any time there is leaking of sensitive information it should be looked into but beyond that we don't have any comment. >> does the president hold himself personally response frble hiring manafort? saffer ra: not that i'm aware of. >> on the point of hiring the best people, does this not at at least bring questions about president trump's vetting process and judgment when it comes to bringing on people? >> i don't believe so. i think i've answered that quite a few times today. >> the president, you said back in july the president believed the investigation for the special counsel stays within the con nivense russian election meddling. does the president believe bob mueller overstepped the bounds? sarah: i haven't spoken to him. >> and regarding the plea agreement with george papadopoulos.

trey gowdy and the journal is right. unanswered questions about paul manafort and most of all about general flynn. i'm one of those who wants a fair nonpartisan investigation of both sides now. >> bill: it won't end for some time. josh, it seems as if everyone is being pulled into this now. >> as well they should. this is an investigation we need to get to the bottom of. this is not a total conspiracy theory. the idea that the justice department or even the f.b.i. could have done something similar with this dossier is not totally out of the question. we really need answers. >> bill: makes the head spin in wonder. thank you for coming in today. >> sandra: coming up in less than 10 minutes white house press secretary sarah sanders will respond to all of these investigations and much, much more. >> bill: also a eight border walls ready for inspection and approval. which one will the government officials sign off on? which is best for border security? >> sandra: eight, 30-foot walls are now in place and ready to be replicate

and i thank chairman gowdy for his support of this legislation. congressman meadows and i introduced this legislation to make the federal government's thrift savings plan more closely aligned with the private sector best practices by allowing t.s.p. participants more flexible withdrawal options. in 2013, the board found employees who separated from federal service transferred $9 billion out of their t.s.p. accounts to other financial institution. participants do this because private sector 401k plans provide more flexibility and wanted more options for withdrawing money in case they needed it. a 2014 survey of participants who withdrew funds showed that more than 50% reported that they wanted more flexibility to withdraw funds to address life events. current law permits participants to only one withdrawal from their t.s.p. accounts while in federal service after reaching age 59 1/2. and participants who make this age-based withdrawal cannot take another partial withdrawal once they separate from service. similarly, participants who are separated f

gowdy today. rep. desantis: we do have a witness who was a confidential informant who wants to talk about his role in this. we are in contact with the justice department to release him from a nondisclosure agreement. if that doesn't work out in a timely fashion, we obviously would be able to subpoena him. committee,sight particularly my subcommittee, we will be focusing on how the interagency process worked in this. we don't think it worked out very well, so we have jurisdiction over the various national security agencies and want to get as much information as we can so we can see what happened. rep. nunes: next we will go to mr. king, of particular relevance not only because he chairs the subcommittee that oversees fbi and doj and treasury, but also because he was a chairman back at the time and sent a letter in opposition, questioning the sale of this geithner atecretary the time, the treasury secretary. we are happy he is still here and will be the point person from our committee on this investigati

. >> reporter: republican trey gowdy called for his party to have an open mind as they await the first charges from special eunsel robert mueller. >> i would encourage my republican friends, give the guy a chance to do his job. the result will be known by the facts. >> reporter: the sealed indictment could become public as early as monday but it is not known who could be charged. mueller has been given the authority to investigate any connection between the trump campaign and russia. his probe has brought an out to include parallel investigations into former trump campaign manager paul manafort, former national security advisor mike flynn and questioned about possible obstruction of justice in the firing of james comey. democrat adam schiff believes manafort has information that could be especially useful to mueller. >> we know that the russian government through intermediaries was reaching out to the trump campaign, reaching out to paul manafort and others and offering information on hillary clinton they thought with help the trump campaign and that the campaign was willing and accept

if they are concerned, let's not waste time with a political hearing and trey gowdy and devin nunes andook at the evidence. let's have a grand jury impaneled and see if hillary clinton, her state department actually engaged in wrongdoing. jesse: it's politics so games will be played. gregg jarrett said there are some possible crimes hillary could be facing if it's as bad as it looks. racketeering, bribery, wire fraud possibility. how do you see this playing out? is it going to get worse, this uranium deal? >> i will be surprised if it doesn't. i agree with richard maybe a special counsel should be appointed to take a look at the uranium deal, and investigate the fbi and the doj, too. and the russian government. and they said nothing. at the same time this deal was being approved. a special prosecutor seems like a serious possibility. this is not a place where criminal activity is utterly off the wall. it's a possibility some criminal activity happened. jesse: halloween is just around the corner and so are offensive halloween costumes. a special "watters world" report next. ask. jesse: w

. >> thank you, chairman gowdy. secretary ross, thank you for being here today. 15.6 billion i guess is the latest estimate in iowa. that's a lot of money. >> it is to me, , too, sir. >> 125 million households i think there are, so the math, if i'm correct is about $125 per household. >> just about right. >> do what we want to do. does that strike you as a large number per household? >> it is a larger number, and it's even a larger number when you consider that the vast, bulk of that is spent on getting the last few million in. because the one to respond to the initial mail the document or respond over internet, the cost of those is very small. it's the more difficult to enumerate people that are really the most expensive to get you. the last few million people are going to cost infinitely more than the first few million. thus far that is why the response rate is a critical. >> your private sector guy, i'm a private-sector business person as well. can you in 60 seconds let me know how much, are we utilizing the priv
