i think john karl doesn't fall into this category. folks who tends to give him a fair shake. he asked a tough but fair question because the president offered up testifying under oath to the special counsel. howie: we mentioned this unverified dossier that "buzzfeed" printed. comey in his written testimony which he put out the day before the hearing which is an interesting move worked something in about this allegation. i never talked about this. the russians claim that the president might have been involved with hookers on a visit to moscow. you see todd levin, one uncomfortable phone call. comey opened the door for the media coverage. edrequire was an unforced error by president trump when he talked to i'm and threw that out there. when you deny something that's salacious you put it out there. this gives critics like lemon to pile on the president. on may 25 wetter reesea may was going down -- when we theresa may was going down. has he forgotten week and a half ago theresa may was blasting donald trump for the intelligence leaks. the

this rose garden on other days, where he literally engaged in a back and forth with my colleague john karl there, given the testimony that we heard from james comey, as he has said on a variety of different topic, he will say you'll hear the answer to that in two or three weeks, but with this question, he said very shortly. this is a man who came from the world of reality tv and this was his episode in the rose garden today. another thing they're not talking about, as they spoke of qatar, as we heard from his secretary of state, secretary of state tillerson earlier, calling to try to calm the tempers with regards to qatar. but you see the president talking about qatar as a funder of terrorism and saying it must stop. that's one of the tensions that exists between him and his 207 aid, his secretary of state. but the president said, 100% being to say what he said unde oath. he said that james comey was ofttimes vindicating him. >> without delay let's show this exchange correspondent jonathan karl, again, the president hinted he may answer the question as to whether or not there are recording

the 49ers in santa clara, it seems like everyone has picked up on the culture change since john lynch and karl shanahan were put in charge of the team. don't ask what it. >> it feels like a heightened sense of -- no, i'm central michigan right now. i'm searching for some words. my rolodex of vocabulary is not very good. heightened sense of attention to detail. and i was searching for a synonym of that. urgency. good one. heightened sense of urgency. >> he is always the most eloquent guy on the team, too. but it is great to see the different atmosphere around the 49ers. >> absolutely. >> mike sieges siege -- seems like a nice guy. >> and i didn't expect mr. brown and mr. kerr to be so different. >> oscar and fee limp. >> yes. >> that -- felix. >> yes. >> that is a good one. we'll be right back. >>> that's it for us at 5:00. we will see you back here at 6:00. >> cbs weekend news is next. news updates though, always on www.cbs-sf.com. we will see you at 6:00 tonight. in the meantime, thanks for watching. captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs weekend news." >>> i'm arena >>> teresa may call

. >> john: this is a point we talked about before we came on. karl rove had an interesting op-ed suggesting it is in the president's preview to ask for any investigation to be shut down. he has the constitutional authority to do it. he said investigations could take on different tones. if president john f. kennedy had ordered j. edgar hoover to stop investigating martin luther king, would that have constituted an obstruction of justice? >> karl rove on the mark and ane answer is no. if president trump says to jim comey, there is more important things to do. terrorist investigations and i want you to move resources away from the russia and flynn investigation and not to others, that is a benign and lawful interference but if he does so for corrupt reasons because he fears flynn might be indicted and become a government witness, that's an unlawful interference. we don't know which one. we don't know what jim comey has said about mueller but we do know bob mueller has the duty to investigate whether it's reasonable suspicion to believe there may have be

among our guests this hour, karl rove, mike huckabee, senator john hoeven and former house majority leader tom delay. david: is that all? pretty good lineup there. meanwhile the dow ending lower, just so. after the 20th record close of the year. nike, goldman sachs, visa among the biggest drags. let's go straight to nicole petallides on floor of the new york stock exchange. nicole the markets wanted to end positive but didn't want to do it. it came way back. >> at lowest point dow jones industrial average is down over 112 points. we see moves somewhat slight as closing bell, dow down 14 and s&p 500 down five. we've been in the red all day long. so we are seeing right now, s&p 500 down a quarter of 1%. those tech stocks came under pressure as well as other areas such as energy, materials, consumer stocks. look at snap. everybody was talking about snap. we all remember 17-dollar ipo earlier this year. it surged more than 50%, up close to, over $29 at its highest points. 2944 on march 3rd. got down to 1bucks. you don't want to see the stock close under ipo price. nike laying off workforce, do

john turley, your real professor in the real world. and the leaks may be a violation of law. i think he is right. >> martha: karl, what do you think? look, the piece of tape that you ran, i cannot make heads or tails of it, it sounds to me like he woke up in the middle of the night saying, how am i going to get my revenge on that as ob in the office? he decided to leak accordingly. this was a petulant response, the best thing that he should have done, if he was the self-righteous, only honest man in town that he claims to be, leaving the president tweet on responded to. >> martha: i thought it was so interesting, carl, and just about to call for one moment, that he said, he was asked during the bush administration, you w a letter of resignation because he felt so strongly about what transpired at the hospital, and i do not want to get into that story right now, but why did you not do the same in this instance if you felt that it was so egregious and you are so concerned about while you were hearing from the president? to karl and then to bill. >> well, it does not make sense. comey, the only legitimate answer is not that comey was

karl burn steen. it is a pleasure to speak to all of you here this morning and to have all of your vast experience. john dean, do you think this holds up in terms of a parallel to watergate? >> it's not quite a parallel yet. if you recall, watergate for some 928 days. this is very early. but it is compressed and moving faster and there are some definite echoes of watergate. comey is one of our first public witnesses. we were about this season 45 years ago into the watergate hearing. so a summer hearing is also a parallel. >> karl, what is your take from those who say, well, it is not watergate. there was an underlying crime there. this is just about politics. what is your guidance? >> i don't think that's the important question in comparison or differences. i think what we're seeing is that comey has produced what looks on its face to be a devastating portrait of what occurred, some suggestions ofdy bus of authority. he hasn't been before a committee yet where he could be questioned and the evidence is subject to impeachment of him veracity, et cetera, et cetera. but more than that, we are very early in

in intense exchange with jonathan karl of abc news, president trump sawed he would be willing to offer his version of the events under oath. >> go ahead, john. be fair, jon. >> oh, absolutely. remember how nice you used to be before i ran? such a nice man. >> always fair. mr. president. going to get back to james comey's testimony. you suggested he didn't del the truth in everything he said. he did say under oath that you said you hoped the flynn investigation, he could lit it go. >> i didn't say that. so he lied about that. well, didn't say that. i mean, i will tell you i didn't say that. >> and did he ask you to plij -- i did not say that. did he ask for a pledge of loyalty. >> no, he did not. so if he said those things under oath, would you be willing to speak under oath to give your version. >> 100%. i didn't say under oath. i hardly know the man. o would ask a man to pledge you allegiance under oath? i mean, think of it, i hardly know the man. it doesn't make sense. no, i didn't say that and uh i didn't say the other. >> so if robert mueller wanted to speak with you about that. >> i would be glad to tell him exactly what i told you. >>

other officials provided testimony like former nixon lawyer john dean and were named in the memo as witnesses or bystanders such as karlmo that we're airing for the first time was written by nick ackerman, then a 25-year-old federal prosecutor on the watergate prosecution special force and mr. ackerman is back with us for our special tonight. you wrote this memo? >> i certainly did. long time ago. >> you remember this part of the investigation? >> absolutely. i remember it very clearly as if it were yesterday. >> and what does this tell us about a part of watergate that's been less known or publicly corroborated? >> i think what it tells us is that watergate was a much greater attack on our democracy from all different respects. people think of it as just the watergate break-in at the democratic national committee headquarters in washington. it was much more than that. it was an attempt to basically go after elseberg every way they possibly could, to incapac itat him, insult him. break into his psychiatrist's office. the assault an the other agencies. larry o'brien, the chairman of the democratic national committee was

karl, back to you. >> thank you very much. >>> taking a look at the nasdaq a record high despite all the news coming from around the world. sgoog -- google, alphabet, above $1,000 and lord johnes with qatar. think again. this is the new new york. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment. new lower taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov >>> oil prices are down this morning after saudi arabia and several other gulf states announced they're cutting ties with qatar. jackie deangelis has more. >> that's right. oil prices were higher briefly on the news, but the qatar story isn't necessarily about oil. any time you have strife in the region, traders will put up their hackles. with respect to commodities this is more of a natural gas story. qatar is the biggest exporter to places like asia and india. the market isn't getting overexcited because the countries cutting ties aren't the big consuming countries but you need this to be a bigger story. but with the rise of fracking here in the united states and our efforts to start exportin

karl, more successful presidents by and large, dan might correct me they are bless ad staff loyal to them because they really liked the president. they feel he had their back. john kennedy, ronald reagan, your own boss, great loyalty among the staff. i'm wondering about that risks that for donald trump. that if, again and again, you're getting knocked around in the press and president is one knocking you around whether you would want to continue, let alone serving him and serving him loyally? >> look, presidents who are successful tend to draw to them people, right word you used instill. everybody who walks into the white house is not necessarily well-known to the president but does the president have the leadership skills to create a team of people who are willing to walk in and say to him, mr. president, here is my candid view, i disagree with you. this president is by his actions making it very difficult to attract good people and to keep got people. not only that, but as my "wall street journal" colleagues pointed out, he has created problems for himself in these wild tweets. but they left out one of the biggest problems he created for himself. he started th
