joe: i'm joe weisenthal. julia is on assignment.are tuning in live on twitter, we want to welcome you to our closing on coverage every weekday from 4:00 to 5 p.m. eastern. scarlet: let's begin with our market minutes. it is like groundhog day because we have stocks falling into the close once again for a second straight day. for the s&p, the fourth declined this week, the 8th decline in the last 10 days. the nasdaq it was performer of the bunch, off by 2.4%. tech losing some of that leadership or the leadership is to the downside. financial shares even worse falling about 2.5%. volume much higher than a 20 day moving average. what is interesting here is we got economic data, which was not terrible. joe: it was good. trump signed the bill after some jitters. it looked like today was going to be a quiet or perhaps even an up day but a very rough last hour of the day. scarlet: i want to highlight the outlier, dropbox. today,ing its debut getting a pop as well. up. also helped the start 36%. kind of an outlier because most of the moves

joe: i'm joe weisenthal. on twitter, we want to welcome you.: we begin with our market minutes, closing mixed on the day, the s&p and nasdaq are lower. and the dow moving higher by 115 points, a lot of economic data. nothing that really told a new story though. joe: it is interesting. i like the empire and philadelphia fed and numbers, but not what you would would expect. scarlet: below average before the fed a meeting next week where jay powell will make his debut in front of the new, in front of the world really. he explains the policy going forward. julie: even though the decline in the s&p 500 is a small, it is the fourth straight and it is the longest losing streak so far in 2018. so it is because we have had choppiness in the market that we have not seen that consecutive with declines. scarlet: in terms of equities, what specific stocks are you looking at? julie: walmart: because on the day there was not much change, we had the headlines coming out this afternoon that sense of the stock lower end of that is the whistleblower lawsuit claim

joe are you back? >> i'm here. >> you're up there in canada and so we are having a little technical difficulties. >> the water might have frozen. >> i did not touch the switch, joe i'm. >> jack tried to unplug it. >> i did not can't come from my microphone. >> can they get away with ignoring this story much longer, joe. >> i never thought he could get away with anything that's happened the last year and a half so i don't know. i guess if you keep saying liar, liar pants on fire, maybe it works. but they keep saying things that aren't accurate like we answered, the president answer to do. now they're saying it's not true. a all the things they said before are being confirmed by the white house. again, this is the people around donald trump who are really doing the most damage, the press secretary and his personal lawyer in this is instance hurt opheim because they confirmed things he defied. they confirmed michael cohen paid the money on behalf of the president because the press secretary said it was hi

joe: and i am joe weisenthal and we welcome you to closing coverage. let's begin with market minutes with stocks filing but slightly, we got the fed decision and it was basically as everyone expected. andad the fed penciling three increases for this year 2019.o for there was a bit of a gyration and stocks went back to where they were for the conference began. joe: we were up before the conference and then modestly lower on the day. overall the news conference not causing a lot of volatility. scarlet: it went as expected. facebook shares have been on a two-day losing streak where they $168 and todayto they bounced back. sheryl zuckerberg and sandberg responded to the data privacy breach. sandberg posting a blog saying an action atgrets mark zuckerberg indicating that facebook will review its platform and investigate all apps and take action. we will see how this shakes out. julie: other interesting thing about mark's posting is that it betweenach of trust facebook and cambridge analytica and he is saying they did something they were not supposed to do.

joe: i'm joe weisenthal.tuning in live on twitter, let's welcome you to our closing go coverage every weekday from 4:00 to 5 p.m. eastern. scarlet: let's begin with our market minutes. we have been up and down. as we close out the day and the week, keep in mind we had quadruple witching as well, so there may be last-minute gyrations. the nasdaq unchanged. the dow is up by 57 point. the s&p 500 gaining a 10th of 1%. the data was incredible. joe: yes, really solid. strong data, but it did not feel like the data was driving the show this week outside of the cpi report earlier. scarlet: this leads us to the fed meeting next week where jay powell makes his debut before the world and explains what the fed does next. julie: in terms of quadruple witching, we saw a little lift in volume at days end, which is not unusual here. that is what we tend to see on the expiration of futures and options contracts. but volume overall for the s&p 500 only about 4% of the the 20 day average. definitely not a huge surge here. let'

to me that really personifies joe. most importantly, joe enjoyed spending time with his family. we send our condolences to joe's wife, as well as his four daughters. and to the entire family. while we mourn the loss of joe, i know that his spirit lives on in his wonderful family and in the memphis community. i have no doubt that joe's legacy will inspire generations to come. thank you, mr. speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: thank you very much. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess until noon today. we will go back to the house appropriations subcommittee on veterans' affairs. this morning hearing testimony from the man on the screen, veterans affairs secretary david shulkin. he's talking about the v.a. budget request for 2019. secretary shulkin: we have only focused on them getting the care and it's easier to get care out in the community in many settings and i think this is where you've seen a rapid growth because we're focused on meeting the needs of the veterans. i will not have veterans who have urgent

it's joe biden.the one who's getting all of the bookings and yes, bernie sanders, because of the way our primary system is structured is going to have a lot of support among the grass roots but there's a lot of up and comers here who don't have the same name id but who are going to be out there playing in this shadow primary in 2018 like harris, so i wouldn't read too much into this poll at this early point. bernie sanders was a contender in the most recent cycle so he's got great name id but we're so early, i just wouldn't put too much stock in this poll. >> we really are, but what's going to be different in 2020 for joe biden than what was -- what we saw as a political reality in the democratic party in 2016? everybody loves to talk about how republicans go too far right. or they pick somebody that's too extreme on the right. well, that's what democrats do on the left. joe biden never had a shot of winning the democratic nomination in 2016. what's different in 2020? why aren't democrats that vote i

joe bide be thinks he's joe frazier. do you think he has a shot? >> absolutely not.s time for the american people to start looking at joe biden. he's acting like a schoolyard bully. bullying a sitting president. we are hearing he's thinking about running for president. perhaps he ought to run for that border if he don't know how to respect a sitting president. people who voted democrat. we are tired of them trying to intimidate to dominate. they like to bully people and call people names and talk about threatening people and fighting people for no reason at all. >> joe is upset because he didn't have the guts to run against president trump. jesse: i think if joe did run for the border he could get right back in because the border is not so secure. let's show a picture of joe the last time he got fresh. he sat on a biker chick's lap. let's go to the late night host. a lot of hate coming out of their mouths against the president and his family. >> melania trump calling a summit for cyberbullying is making people woozy. >> you will probably escape this nightmare preside

>> yes. >> joe tried to escape three times. tell me about the last escape. >> we knew every afternoon there was a man came in there on a horse and wagon. he had three barrels. they were loaded when he came in and empty when he went out. we waited and got in the barrels and rode off. we took off down and scrubbed pines, zigzagging. the two guys escaped with me were killed. and i took off and i went ace for a couple of days and i could hear the guns coming and coming. >> the gun fire was coming from the red army under the command of zukoff charging toward berlin. >> i went into a farm yard and hit in a halo and waited two days. one night the russians came by. if i identify myself, i went down and, hands up. met a -- with that fortunately i was taken to the battalion commander who was a female. i told her that i wanted to go with my brothers, my comrades, and defeat the hitler-its. i figured that that was the quickest way home because they were going to berlin. i couldn't get to berlin on my own. >> how a russian general helps >>

scarlet: i joe: am scarlet fu. -- i am scarlet fu. joe: i am joe. of the week we had a lot of red across the screen. about sixt loss in weeks. at one point, it was down over 2%. the resumptions of the declines that we saw last joe, as you pointed out earlier, it is not just facebook. there are a number of negative headlines. you were. -- uber. to digest.for people volatility is back. we are not out of the correction woods yet. at facebook us look shares. in the end, down almost 7%, the steepest decline in almost four years since 2014. officials demanding facebook shares. in the end, down almost 7%, the steepest decline answers from the social media network. --ebook did say it will be cambridge analytica agreed to a forensic audit. analytica came out with a response saying it had done everything by the books. we will see how it shakes out but there is a lot of political pressure on the company. buyor 10 court, it is often 4%. -- as for 4%. -- as for kla-tencor was off by 4%. newel brands off by six and a half -- 6.5%. teaming is a way to fend off opp

>> joe, try to say it five times fast, joe degenova, has had a different approach in terms of viewing this entire investigation as sort of a witch hunt, which is the same concept, the same outlook that president trump has had as well. so perhaps the way that the legal team interacts with robert mueller changes, perhaps the information statements coming out of the legal team change as a result of this leadership -- result of the change of the leadership team as well. >> good point, lisa -- >> i got there. >> no, no, are we looking at a situation, juan, where this legal team, now, is taking shape to better position the president against robert mueller? or something else. i mean, we have no way to read the tea leaves, but the way you describe dedenova and the way jay sekulow has been a very strong voice for the president, these are men that are now listening to the president. >> right. and i think that's the key point, harris f we boil all this down, let me say, we now have the president of the united states saying i'm spooking out, taking charge of this. remember, john dowd had been tel

about joe biden. crazy joe. all right.gers, thank you both for joining us this morning. karen timmelty stay with us. i want to know why we should be thanking facebook. a good one. >>> still ahead on "morning joe," nearly a week after a scandal, mark zuckerberg finally weighs in. but is it too little too late? our next guest says the damage to facebook may be irreversible. that straight ahead on "morning joe." >>> first to bill karins with a check or the nor'easter. >> the storm won't end. some areas crushed last night. one spot in long island picked up a foot of snow in nearly two hours and ended up in bay shore around 19.3 inches. highest total i've seen. new york city, 8 inches. the blue shows where the snow is. lingering here in new england. temperatures around freezing. roads be okay but annoying to see it still snowing a day later. heavy rain in southern california. remember you a the deaths from the mud flows back in january. the most significant rainfall event since then and think it could be worse than that night.

that is union households, joe.nion members actually vote for trump in the past election. well, what's happening now is you're hearing from some of these same union members saying that they may be willing to quote/unquote split their ticket and vote for the democrat this time. here is the reason why i think republicans have to be worried going into 2018 based on what we're seeing here. the tax bill is just not resinating in the way that they hoped that it would when it comes to these voters and when it comes to the benefits that they're seeing in their pocketbooks. really interesting trend here, joe, that has kind of flown under the radar is that republicans, after investing about $2.5 million in promoting the tax plan has now pivoted away from that. what are they running on? they're going after conor lamb on more social issues, like 'em gra immigration and tough on crime issues. that's a real problem. republicans said this tax bill would be their everything going into 2018. in the first case here of that tax law be

joe, a senior mps, who are they?all off the back of some debate in the house of commons today, you have people like luciana burger, dame margaret hodge, john mann, louise ellman, people who have been around in the commons for quite a long time i have senior positions and run select committees and they are respected mps. they have been speaking at against what they see as jeremy corbyn's failure to act against this and it has all been sparked by these letters from key groups in the jewish community who held a protest outside parliament today. the stunning thing about this is there has been this huge outpouring over the last couple of days, and, jeremy corbyn, in his comments, he has been desperately trying to say i am not anti—semitic and i've been fighting it for years and i've been fighting it for years and years and fighting racism for years and years and it hasn't hit home for some reason. there is obviously something people see in his comments that are insincere and you have to ask the question, how did it get to

being joe.t is also joe reflecting what he says privately all of the time. he's -- when you see him speak publicly, it is reflective of what he's also been saying. i think there is an element to him that -- a tough kid grew up in the streets of scranton, pennsylvania, that liked to take on the rich kid from new york city. but i don't suspect that that kind of dialogue is what people are going to want on the democratic side in 2020. once we actually get there. although it is nice to see somebody take trump on in this way. >> really? >> you tell me. tell me about -- let me ask you both the same question which is -- it seems to me this is joe biden reading the wind and weather of the democratic base and saying -- what they want is someone who would take donald trump out to the wood shed and beat the hell out of him. so i'll be the guy who says that. >> some people might want that. probably not 70 plus-year-old men behind the wood shed trying to beat the crap out of each other. and i think also we n

joe has been a table pounder.you'll see him pounding the table as this goes forward in a way that as we've been talking this morning undermines confidence, i fear, in our legal institutions, in the fbi, in our court system. that's really -- that's the danger here. as this plays out, americans will increasingly lose faith in the institutions we depend on to make our country a place of law and order. >> it's the perfect platform for this type of thing because everybody's watching what's happening with stormy daniels, what's happening with mueller, giving this legal team a platform to seed even more deeply these institutions. it's actually the perfect storm, not to use a pun here. let me toss it to willie geist. >> we want to mention to your book "mandela's way" being reissued in connection with mandma mande mandela's 100th birthday. >> i'll tell you what people don't realize. obviously he wouldn't have been a fan of donald trump and would see him as a reincarnation of those boorish apartheid leaders who were ethnic
