neil: sure. reporter: speaking about intelligence he talks about the deep state which he feels is against him and some of the intelligence within the u.s. government is against him but part of the argument the president is putting forth is that the intelligence is rock solid and crystal clear. so you're right, so you had the president who has been questioning intelligence for years now and i believe even, when he met with vladmir putin in helsinki, a lot of the criticism directed towards the president's way, the president doubting intelligence who was behind the interference campaign in the 2016 election, he got crushed for that but now that this drone has been fired off, taking down one of iran's top leaders, you're exactly right is what the president is doing saying we have the best intelligence in the world. at one point questioning it, now holding it up and hailing it. neil: again to bash him on this move and this decision makes you wonder who is playing politics with what here. reporter: pol

neil, it's yours. neil: that was live? thank you very much, my friend. we are live as well following latest developments. you know what is stunning about what's going on, the market racing ahead here as the impeachment stuff is happening. as we're getting word from government accountability office said the white house budget office violated what i had shut be doing when it came to military aid with ukraine withholding that. omb responding, this is none of your business. then the most telling of all, interview last night on msnbc with rachel maddow of a key player in all of this essentially saying everything you heard from the administration is a lie. take a look. >> president trump knew exactly what was going on. he was aware of all of my movements. he, i wouldn't do anything without consent of rudy giuliani or the president. it wasn't just military aid. it was all aid. basically the relationships would be soured. several demands at that point. the most important one was announcement of the biden investigation. neil: consider what lev parnas was saying a

neil? neil: garrett thank you very very much.ell forget democratic senators, there are some republican senators who would be open, indeed, eager to force witnesses , and then what? republican senator from louisiana and senate judiciary committee member john kennedy with us right now. senator good to have you thank you for coming in. thank you, neil. neil: do you think there should be witnesses? >> speaker pelosi, swollen with false virtue, and having normalized impeachment as a routine political weapon, says she's going to send us the articles, next week. we will do it differently than she did it in the house. we will be fair. we have not made a decision about witnesses. we will address that. my advice to my colleagues, both democrats and republicans, for what it's worth, is to forget about the opposition, your opponents, however you define your opponents, play against par , and par is fairness. we're going to treat both sides the same. we're going to give both sides equal amount of time to present their cases, we're going to giv

neil, it is yours. neil: look what is happening in the markets, folks. as stu pointed out the dow wants to chase a record like other two major averages have, particularly s&p 500. if you were to have for seen that, a little more than a few days ago, when we first took out this general, you would probably have a lot of people scratching their heads and probably kicking yours. but that is exactly what is going on here. oil is below $60 a barrel, after flirting with $70 a barrel. this might be the reason for the latest move. take a look. >> our great american forces are prepared for anything. iran appears to be standing down which is a good thing for all parties concerned, and a very good thing for the world. as we continue to evaluate options and in response to iranian aggression, the united states will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the iranian regime. neil: we have not heard a response as yet from the iranian regime in response to the president's remarks. earlier this morning the response to the attacks that were leveled at

neil: mr. secretary, i'm probably showing my age which i shouldn't have been, i was there for the signing of the first nafta agreement the way it was heralded with bill clinton at the time. i can't believe it is a quarter century ago. one of the things mentioned then it would be a boon to workers, particularly manufacturing workers. it didn't quite turn out that way, but it wasn't a total disaster, depends on your perspective lear. do you think we're getting ahead of our skis with some of the lofty ambitions here? >> you know this agreement has the best, most effective labor protections of any trade agreement ever struck anywhere in the world. neil: as you know bill clinton, sir, bill clinton said the same 25 years ago. i'm not meaning to dispute you. he also had high expectations about provisions that would protect u.s. factory workers. didn't quite turn out that way. >> no. this is a totally different agreement. that is why the president was dissatisfied with nafta. that is what he said about

neil? neil: blake, thank you very, very much. that is a lot long their we learned about seven or eight pages about the length of the democratic impeachment manager's report. this is 111 pages. get ready for dow 32,000, not 30,000. now you're talking about 32,000? >> i think by the end of the year, by the end of the year we should be well over 32,000. more importantly, we're going to be growing i think closer to 3% real dg than 2%. we'll look to see wages continue to rise disproportionally for men and women work with their hands, which president trump focuses on the great manufacturing economy. neil: it is not as great manufacturing economy as is it was. that 3% is point higher than the most economists. not that economists have been all that prescient. let's go to mark madsen, what he thinks about it. mark, a little more than 2% away from dow 30,000. 9.3% from dow 32,000. it is easily doable. >> it is easily doable, trying to predict the market in the short run is a fool's errand. reality of the 10% return of stocks, double every

neil? >> neil: john roberts at the white house, thank you very much. exactly where do we stand here. there's a lot of relief this week that it ended with no escalation in tensions but, is that really the case? aaron: is here now. >> i think based on years of intelligence and studying iran's political and military and religious leadership, based on israel worrying about iran as the primary threat, i think that the leadership of iran is living a really good life. and i think they don't want to screw that up. what i mean by that is the malaise and the mufti's and the generals like soleimani, their kids are going to private schools in switzerland. they been lining their bank accounts with millions of dollars, because of the sanctions that president trump has put on them after the billion dollar gift, and i don't think that they want to lose the quality of lifestyle that they have built up. i think there is a lot of talk and smoke being blown in order to save face because the middle east is about protecting strength. however the americans can squash them. t

neil. neil: all right, ellison, thank you, very very much.he president for not consulting them for taking this military action. they're the same folks who said that it was okay for president obama at the time not to necessarily consult with congress over taking out osama bin laden. what about this argument, should have consulted, should have consulted, should have consulted? >> of course not, they can't be trusted. and biden opposed the bin laden raid even though he says he's for it, and he is on record of opposing it on c-span. what we have is this knee jerk reaction to oppose anything president trump does, actually undermines the national security. this president actually has -- you cannot look at this in isolation. what we've got is the president has worked very hard to depoliticize the intelligence committee and in so doing, the veracity of our intelligence has improved greatly the last couple of years and what we've seen over the last year is iran ramping up its efforts to death by a thousand cuts. you know, they took a drone down over t

neil: all right.s saying, if witnesses start and republicans maybe you feel the same way, would want to talk to joe biden and/or his son hunter, it's not going to happen. if it's a quid pro quo, i know that phrase is overused, senator, they say no to that, then it sounds like we'll have no witnesses, period? right? >> so van holland is clearly a partisan and van holland wants the president impeached. let's look at someone, jonathan turley on the left of the political spectrum, but thinks the house does not have a case and he also has said if there are witnesses called, he actually does think that the bidens would be material. so, putting aside van holland's incredible partisanship, no one is more partisan than he and take someone objective, and if there's witnesses, he thinks we should bring in the bidens, this cuts both way and i you go back to the crux, did the president release the funds by the time he was by law was required to do so, the answer is clearly yes. we'll go back to the basic fact and

neil: all right.w, the economic recovery continues, the market these last few days notwithstanding, kind of stabilizes, but anything worrying? the impeachment thing seems to be going the way the president wants to see it with maybe a quick end. what could jar you? you could worry you? >> hard to predict what the future will hold, but i think when people ask, hey, what's it like inside the campaign, how's the president doing with regard to this impeachment as though the democrats haven't been throwing everything they possibly could since before he took the oath of office even, talking about impeaching him leading up to and including on the day he actually took the oath of office. so i think -- neil: well, you won by ten points last go around in this state. what are your predictions? >> as you said by ten points last time, a larger marin this time. and on monday, on caucus day, we're going to have a full court press fanning out across the state. neil: we shall see. thank you. very, very close to the pre

neil: sir, we shall see. senator, thank you for taking the time. >> thanks, neil. neil: all right, senator casey. and jim joins us, a former justice department prosecutor. jim, whenever i've got you, you leave me speechless. let me get your take on what you made of the relatively swift presentation today. there might be a strategy to that or it might be a sort of alternative to the more long-winded democratic strategies. what do you think? >> oh, i think it's a conscious effort. the bottom line, pointed repetition, at key moments can be helpful and make people remember your key points. droning on and on and acting like you're going to wrap up, and you don't wrap up. i think they'll stay lean and mean, i don't think we will be in the double digits. neil: is there a risk? that? some argue less is more. in my case, with weight. i wonder if you miss something by giving the other guys all the extra time they got? >> i don't think-- i think there's a point of diminishing returns when you're talking 15, 20, 21, 24 hours. the human being is not going to take in new informa

at that be the case and point of what's going on right now neil. >> neil: in order to deal with -- i'd never thought of it that way. you're going to have the president of the united states, he's giving an address of the country. would there be any talk about pushing that speech back, because you can do to simultaneously? >> that's why they talk about maybe this pause. they'll do that in the middle somewhere for the iowa caucus and offer the state of the union. no one said directly that this conversation about pushing back the state of the union. it then you get into some complicated logistical questions what the president wants to do. it's up to the speaker of the house, she holds the cards. that was the whole thing yet last year, we're supposed to have the state of the union during the government shutdown and they eventually called it off for a while. then the shutdown was solved and the president came once it was done. and no one has ruled it out, but no one is said that to me. as they try to figure out what the steps for the trial, you have these other real-world edge logistical pro

( cheers and applause ) but you know what? it's weird that life expectancy is even a thing. it feels like we're giving human beings expiration dates like milk. some people are milk, but not most of us, you know? ( laughter ) here's the problem, though, life ex

neil: no. the expansion is old in terms of its duration.is still relatively young at heart when you look at cyclicals, components of the economy. you mentioned housing earlier. residential investment is well below what you would expect in terms of longer run gdp. auto buying even. we keep lamenting the weak capital spending environment and inventories that are quite lean. there is no area of cyclical access in the u.s. economy right now. what goes down if you have a recession? i don't really see it. joe: do you see in these cyclical areas on these questions like business investment, do you see any prospect for re-acceleration or is it going to be like what we have seen over the last decade? which is not terrible but not amazing. is all about what is priced in on what the likely outcome is going to be. if you look at your own bloomberg news consensus for gdp, the consensus has growth basically rounding under -- running under 2%. that is a conservative forecast considering -- he mentioned capex. thirds -- oil prices have rebound. my guess is

the shipping company which delivered the arms is said to be beluga owned by neil stalled back. stolberg agreed to an interview he wanted to present a different image from other shipowners seen as someone who staged fundraising concerts supported social projects and dreamt of ecological ship propulsion technology so how can that be reconciled with transporting arms we confronted stolberg. i was alarmed to says sudan and. doesn't that embarrass you. as who is true to my personally i'm very sorry if we carried freight for that should not have been carried on from there's no question of that but you did. yes charted ships out and had no idea that certain goods were on board and were transported to highly sensitive regions we were unaware of that was how the initiative forced. store bag the award winning entrepreneur and self-styled world market leader captivated by his success banks financed the construction of his ships in china one after another until he had a fleet of 80 vessels his headquarters in braman northern germany the architecture is representative the location maritime

it was it was spotted by his pe teacher neil thompson.ng every missed training and never missed an excuse and have expected his mum and dad they said he was so focused on basketball, they were hoping it would of been just as focused on his schoolwork. he was really a very, very keen to do his very best. his dedication it led to his family moving to the us, a scholarship at the university of illinois and that he was scouted for the worlds largest basketball league. he never once thought of himself as a superstar because you get players for talented and they are ahead of the game, and then really standouts but his feet are firmly on the ground because he knew that's not where he wanted to finish. he wanted to finish as a professional player if he could. neil still coaches basketball at the school and continues to spread robert's message of success to aspiring players. many of success to aspiring players. many of the kids here look up to the man from their small town who managed to make it big. he's a iteration to anyone, and he ages in scot

neil. good to see you know. i invite thank you. david: investors woke up from these worsening updates from china. confirmed cases in at least 213 confirmed deaths. this is the white house and it says it's going to bar entry to foreign nationals because any kind of trance mission risk. so i'm wondering if the markets sell off today. our investors just try to get ahead of the worst case scenario 40 think. his stomach you can be right. they could refuse to sell. he suspects might be other reasons for this. the slowdown in manufacturing. maybe some things slightly there. but it might be an opportunity for people who have some pretty heavy gains just to sort of get out of dodge. and of course there is this idea to on sunday, it's actually ironically during the super bowl, some of these big markets in shanghai that open up. they've been closed really too much of this. this is the first chance to open up and likely sell into this. so they can complicate things. or at least accelerate things come sunday night. that of course would be the m
