>> yes. we heard from reince priebus in his own words that the ag resigned. he handed in his letter of resignation. priebus says he jumped in his sedan and convinced him to come back and not quit so soon. i think his time has come. the president, it's obviously calculated. he knows exactly what he's doing. this is not an impulsive tweet. he called him out the first time. they seemed to mend their relationship. and sessions went back to the doj and focused his efforts. now there's so many things within the doj so problematic, including the department itself, and especially the fbi. it seems like he's lost control of all of this. i don't have an issue with the inspector general. i'd rather see an inspector general of this department as opposed to another expensive counsel. >> and the inspector general has done a good job until now. >> i think the president is wrong when he says it's a disgrace for the attorney general to appoint the inspector general to look into this. i think any other attorney general would do the same thing. switching out jeff sessions for another person i don't think will solve that problem for the president or take away that grievance. he might not be mad at him, but in terms of moving forward for the inspector general, these things can take time. they also can be expedited. just depends on how long the investigation is. we're waiting on the report on whether the fbi handled the clinton investigation properly. as we just mentioned, the inspector general is the one who published the fbi's text messages to expose that there was some bias with the fbi happening. he's correct when he says the he doesn't have prosecutorial abilities. handing it off to the ig, an independent body, and trey gowdy says he supports the inspector general, gives the president and justice department more credibility and allows them to say this is what an independent investigation found. now it is our job as lawyers at the justice department to follow up. >> i still don't understand why mueller himself is -- we don't understand everything he's doing. >> no, we don't. >> collusion with russia, the trump dossier, a bunch of bs, put in a report, paid for the dnc, and has the signs of collusion that mueller was looking for right there. >> does he also have the ability to objectively offer the oversight of the department he used to run? >> no, he doesn't. >> a shocking report over president obama's response to russian meddling in the election. reportedly he received information of the compromise of seven states prior to the election. nbc is reporting that none of the states involved were fully informed about the breaches. you can't fix the problem if you don't know it's there. david? >> president obama, i believe, felt that hillary clinton was going to win the election. he didn't want to upset the apple cart. i mean, there were several things that happened, several problems that occurred during those last months of the obama administration. he did everything possible he could to smooth things out. i think if he was to investigate russian meddling in the election it would have created too many problems for the democratic party that believed that they were going to win the election. i believe that. >> katie? >> i don't think that the obama -- i think the obama administration saw the intelligence coming in. based on what the president had said previously, laughing at mitt romney for saying russia was a threat. they knew it was a president bush, but didn't think it was -- it was a problem, but didn't think it was that big of a problem. once trump won the election, they used it as a political weapon against the trump white house to delegitimatize him as a republican president. i don't think they thought it was that serious, that they ignored it. i just think they didn't think it was that big of a deal. >> kennedy, i think that's worse if they underestimated russia. is that like isis, the jv team? >> what was problem about the obama era, they didn't take foreign policy terribly seriously. a lot of decisions were politically motivated. that's incredibly problematic. and now it's bearing fruit, because not only for not taking things seriously enough, that means you're not prescribing the kind of security necessary to protect the voting systems. anything with a chip can be hacked. russians know that. our own government doesn't seem to understand the threat. you know, six of these seven states have said nothing to see here, you don't have to worry about us, nothing was truly breached. we don't know the depths of it. in fact, the young woman who leaked information to glen greenwald at the intercept, that's how we found out that voting systems in the country were hacked. >> one other thing. there was also the iran deal, which was in the midst of a lot of debate at the time. that was -- obama thought that was his crowning achievement in foreign policy, because he didn't have so much fecklessness in other areas. he needed the russians to get that deal done, to secure the deal, to make sure it would move its way into the future in another administration. >> how do you see the governmenk you're being facetious. they're not doing enough clearly. they could do more. >> in terms of cyber security, we're not doing enough in this country. >> my question is, does president trump understand the extent of this, attempting to tackle the problem? >> we just learned that the administration mass not given certain people who could look at this issue of cyber warfare direct -- the white house has not given direct orders to do it. i would assume it's their job to do it anyway. >> you also have to be very careful about the federal government overextending their authority here when it comes to elections. elections in this country are state-based. it's the state's duty and obligation to protect their system. the federal government can give them a heads-up. i don't know why the intelligence committee -- or the intelligence community didn't tell them this was happening. the left has a vested interest in federalizing all of our elections. we have to keep in mind that states are doing what they can, what's best for their systems. the federal government shouldn't be given the authority to come in and override that. >> no. there don't have to be uniform systems absolutely, but i worry we're not -- we don't know the depths of the breaches. we know there were breaches in voter registration and voter rolls, and perhaps voting machines, but they all sweared it didn't affect the outlook of any votes at all whatsoever. >> we know that the russians like to meddle. that's what we're learning. >> not just the russians. >> oh, of course. anybody that could. are we doing all the things that we can to make sure next november is difference from the previous election november?

pete. all right, pete. i know there is another media organization claiming christopher wray the head of the fbi -- there is some sort of fear maybe in the white house that wray could resign over this. i know you've pushed back on that fact. but obviously the fbi is upset. do they have any recourse left to stop this memo? >> two points. i can't say what the fear is at the white house but i could say -- i'm told that there is no plan for christopher wray to step down over this. basically the fbi has made its point and i don't think they're going to say anything when the memo comes out. which seems likely it will come out. i think they feel that they've already said their thing. they put that statement out yesterday saying that the memo was incomplete and therefore misleading. they have grave concerns about revealing potentially sources and restricting future information flows from foreign governments, from intelligence sources. i think they're feeling is they've said their thing and when the memo comes out for them to then rebut it or say something in return, just lobs the tennis ball back over the net and they're not interested in any further battles and i think they feel they'll be lots of picking apart of the memo by news organizations and that they really don't need to be in the fight. >> and let me ask you this other question. i feel one of the reasons why the fbi may be having a hard time getting traction for redactions is the government cries wolf a lot on classification. i heard it during the snowden releases, the manning releases. all of this oh, my god, you have no idea what this is going to cause and the public and even the elected officials going -- okay, you warned of doom and gloom and we didn't see it. why does this feel like the same type of wolf crime? >> there may be. but you have to remember there is also a fisa court process here and that -- and that insists on keeping these things confidential and classified. so the government doesn't have much of a choice here. fisa court by its nature is classified. but in the nature of the fisa applications, foreign intelligence, you are dealing with intelligence from foreign governments, you're dealing with sources that you don't want to see dry up. and that is the other sensitivity here. i will say this, chuck. in terms of redactions, the rules that the house is following for the first time ever here say if the house wants to release it, it asked the president, do you have any objections, yes or no. there is no provision in the house rules for the white house to fiddle around with what the house is sent them. now this is the first time this has ever happened. everybody is ad-libbing here. i guess you can't blame the government for trying to try this here. but the other thing we hear is that if it is going to be released, the house members will try to release it through the congressional record, read it into the record so they get protection of the constitution speech or debate clause in case they are worried about what they are doing here. >> that is how mike gravell got the pentagon papers on the record. >> right. >> pete williams, kelly o'donnell, thank you very much. >>> joining me now is chuck rosenberg, former federal prosecutor and a former counselor to robert mueller and now an nbc news contributor. so you are a card carrying member of the deep state. >> seems that way. if by deep state you mean people who care deeply about our institutions. >> i try to have a sense of humor these days because it is very hard not to. first of all, walk me through -- what is it that the fbi is most concerned about here? they are sounding an alarm louder and louder, whether wray is threatening resignation or not, i get that. but the fact that that fear is out there, it is clear these alarm bells are loud. >> so there are a lot of sensitive sources and methods that go into every fisa application and we rely on lots of people, including foreign governments to help us in our cases. and if people don't believe that they could trust their information to our institutions, to the fbi and the cia, then we undermine their w

[laughter] i don't know. i'm kidding. that's a joke justin trudeau. that's a joke. i hope -- because the partly pas people are terrified to have honest discussions home. no one can have a discussion and speak from the heart everything down from pronoun to everything is hyper politicized to the point -- it's purposeful. they want to see you lens people. steve: sure. >> that's what political correctness is a tool to see you lens opposition. it's shameful. steve: dana, before. you go it looks like the senate has come up with a plan to fund the government for a couple years. some of the democrats are upset there was no language about daca. that's why indianapolis pelosi stood there half a day yesterday. and a lot of the members of the house freedom caucus had said the government is spending way too much money. we went to washington to cut the waste. not increase the debt. what do you make of this deal? >> no, i agree that it isn't perfect. you are not going to get anything immediately perfect because it's government. it's washington, d.c. but the whole goal should be to move the ball down the field. you know, and that's what the goal is this particular bill should be is to move the ball down the field and incrementally get what you would like to see in terms of government spending reduced. i mean, believe me, i was a co-founder of the modern day tea party movement. i was one of those individuals back in 2009. so, this big government spending is very close to my heart. but, at the same time, i also realize that i want to move the ball down the field. i don't want to lose the whole thing by overplaying my hand. i want to cut spending just as much as anyone. so i want to see the details that are in this plan before i make a final decision. but, hopefully we are moving the ball down the field and i will wait to see that. brian: i understand a lot of the spending has to do with the trump agenda so they got the spending in the right direction according to the president. thanks so much, dana, always great to talk to you. ainsley: thanks, dana. brian: you really do know a lot of stuff. >> i thank you brian, thank you all. have great morning. brian: straight ahead. president trump set to speak at the national prayer breakfast in just minutes. we are taking you there live at the top of the hour. steve: plus, it's been a roller coaster ride on wall street. what does it all mean for your wallet? stuart varney has a wallet. and he's going to join us live next. brian: it's a wonder wallet. ♪ taking care of business ♪ every way ♪ i've been taking care of business ♪ taking care of business ♪ working overtime ♪ work out ♪ don't let type 2 diabetes get between you and your heart. because your risk of heart attack or stroke is up to four times greater. but there are steps you can take to lower your cardiovascular risk. talk to your health care provider today about diabetic heart disease. and find out more at heartoftype2.com. your heart and type 2 diabetes. make the connection. happy face when a driver follows the speed limit. the positive reinforcement that could change america. or a sad face when they break the law. that's about ramifications. officers say they are trying to keep up with the smart phone era. lol. then, this is amazing. a cow is caught in the act stealing mail. >> drop the envelope.

stuart varney joins us live. stuart? >> okay. we are calming down. that's a brave thing to say. but at this moment i can definitely say it. in the first two days of the week, we had really wild 1,000 point swings up and down tune of a thousand points. yesterday that was limited to 500 points up and down. today we'll open pretty flat. i don't know how we are going to close, but the panic sector of this development, that's over. the anxiety is still there but we are indeed calming down. relax. brian: a lot of people are saying maybe the budget will effect the market. you have a two year deal? how do you feel about that. >> let me bring in what i think is bad news. you are going to hear the words debt bomb coming right it. it would expand government spending to the tune of $300 billion just in the next two years. you add that to the lack of revenue come in because of tax cuts. and what you are looking at now, down the road. in 2019 is a deficit which will get very close to a trillion dollars. ainsley: i hate to say it we hate it when we are personally in debt. if we are in debt it's something we are used to. every administration has been in debt. people would rather have funding for the military. >> it doesn't matter until it does matter. ainsley: what will happen? when will it matter? brian: we're paying interest, right? >> rapid rise in interest rates because people are unwilling to lend more money, a trillion dollars a year to a government which is out of control. so you have -- you could at some point, i don't know when, at some point a rapid rise in interest rates, which sinks the economy, which makes the debt even worse. ainsley: i remember our dad bought our house and it was 11% interest rate. he thought that was great. >> that's nothing. my first house. steve: 18%. >> san francisco bought my first house late 70's 12.5%. i thought it was a bargain. steve: thank you, jimmy carter. brian: now have to go to loan sharks soon that's how we will get money because money has gotten tight. >> this budget deal is heavily stimulative. chucking all this money into the economy. wages are rising. tax cuts are going to put more money into the economy. looking at 3% growth now. i think it's going to be 4% by the end of the year. brian: stuart varney i am getting word that you have a show to do 9:00 to noon. can you confirm this? >> is that my signal to leave the couch. >> 9:00 to noon fox business network. steve: thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: yesterday we told but the text between peter strzok and lisa page, the love birds. calling virginia voters ignorant hillbilly for snubbing then fbi director andrew mccabe's wife for the senate seat. well, we have the loudoun county virginia supervisor here to respond. steve: i bet he doesn't like it. plus this hysterical sketch causing a lot of laughs on social media. but coming in heansd for the hay for the cops ♪ who are you ♪ who, who ♪ what makes these simple dishes the best simple dishes ever?

let's talk to someone who represents those hillbillies the loudoun county supervisor who joins us now. thank you for joining us. what are your fouts when you got labeled like this in these private text messages. >> good morning and thank you for the opportunity to be here. it's funny, yesterday morning one of the first things did i was read the news feed and i saw this article about the texts and i thought the real ignorance lies with the ignorant status elitist that live inside the beltway and never get outside of that bubble and think that they know better for the american people what they need than the american people know for themselves. apparently this gentleman is one of them and he set out on a course to protect the american people from themselves the fbi. brian: how do you describe the people of loudoun county? how do they profile? >> first, let me say i have nothing bad to say and nothing but admiration for people who are a blue collar background. we have a vibrant rural economy in western loudoun county. loudoun county is the fastest growing county in the country. it's the wealthiest county in the country. it has -- its adult population is 60% of them have bachelor's degree or higher. most of them work in the dulles corridor between titus corridor or dulles airport. tech industry jobs. we have a population that is highly educated. that is hard-working. we have only 3% unemployment. and they are hardly ignorant hillbillies. brian: here is the other thing, mr. supervisor, is that i guess there is somehow taking a shot at blue collar workers. i think they are somehow looking down at those that might not have the elite education that they have. and isn't that part of the reason that donald trump got elected because, believe it or not, even though he went to an ivy league school and grew one money. he relates better to those so-called hillbillies that helped put him in office. they don't get that the people in washington in many cases don't get that those people matter. >> i think you're correct. i think that the people inside the beltway live in this bubble and they have all of these ideas about what the world looks like in their eyes. and they don't get outside and realize what the real people are doing and the people that work hard every day and the people that go to jobs that may not be a white collar job and basically build, construct and hold together our country. i think they have lost touch with those people. brian: they have. have you had a chance to talk with the people? do they feel personally offended by this? do they think it's bigger than just two fbi agents? >> i think the people that i have talked to are just laugh it off. they figure this is what's going on inside the beltway. it's a shame. i mean, my larger concern -- loudoun county is a great place to live and we have a great population. and i'm involved in local government there as you know. but we just don't understand why people want to assume things that they don't know anything about. brian: supervisor higgins thanks so much. the ignorance ends with them not here at fox. believe me. all right. thanks so much, sir. straight ahead, fox news alert, in just minutes president trump will speak at the national prayer breakfast. expected to be on time. we're going to take that speech live. plus, a great show still ahead, for example, diamond and silc for the first time. kennedy will be separate. oversight chair jason chaffetz. don't miss a minute ♪ jump, jump, jump, jump ♪ jump, jump ♪ (vo) i was born during the winter of '77. i first met james in 5th grade. we got married after college. and had twin boys. but then one night, a truck didn't stop. but thanks to our forester, . . . . steve: it is 8:00 in washington, d.c. we start with a fox news alert. you're looking live inside of the washington hilton on connecticut avenue in northwest washington where president trump is about to speak at the 66th annual national prayer breakfast. ainsley: is that the same place where they have the white house correspondents dinner. steve: absolutely is. on top of connecticut. every president since dwight eisenhower has spoken there. philadelphia eagles quarterback carson wentz is substituting for mike pence who is in south korea. brian: ben carson was once asked to be the speaker when president obama was there, he cut his teeth what he thought of obamacare. that made national news. this is something without the types of people that attend the national prayer breakfast, evangelicals in particular, gotten behind the president, he got behind them, there wouldn't be a president trump. ainsley: looking forward to hear what the president had to say. he is running a little bit late. he was supposed to be there at 8:00. he has one more meeting. then will come to the podium. steve: the breakfast is fellowship non-profit organization bringing political, religious and business leaders as well. it is a series of luncheons designed to build better relationships,. brian: coveted ticket. president will talk about things religiously oriented, but will talk about the budget deal. it looks like it is in the lap of the house today. stunning most everybody on monday, if i told you, by thursday the senate would agree on bipartisan spending deal would fund the government next two years with no daca fix involved, come on. ainsley: they had to, the government would shut down at midnight to kick the can down the road. we were shocked, this is a big kick, a two year kick. we're talking about if it passes, we'll talk about in mother month. steve: we figured they would have another patch because nobody on either side wanted to shut the government down like they did last time. chuck schumer kept calling it the trump shutdown, the "schumer shutdown" seemed to resonate more with people. democrats said we won't do it again. what did it? no daca fix, that angered nancy pelosi on the left-wing. it will increase the pentagon and domestic spending significantly. defense spending up by 80 billion, domestic spending 3 billion in 2018. brian: next year, two year deal, defense spending will go up 84 billion. that is what defense secretary matters needs. in turn to do that as chuck schumer said, middle class spending kicked in the tune of $63 billion. speaker ryan feels differently, that spending is too much, but he has to make a compromise. get half the freedom caucus to sign on for. they go on a lot of trump agenda, struck instructs, means testing for medicaid. ending medical advisory board, extending chip for 10 years. ainsley: kellyanne conway was on earlier. she was talking about the deal. it is not perfect but at least we have a deal. >> this deal is not perfect. we need to see the final details but at same time this president all along called for certainty. you can't do the shore term things anymore. you need long-term certainty in a economy booming. but also provides critical funding for infrastructure, for opioids, for veterans. first and foremost rebuilding our military, this president is rebuilding our military readiness, but he is also building our military morale. both have been ignored for a very long time. steve: it is interesting, bob corker, the outgoing senator from the great state of tennessee, i love the fact there is more money in there for the military, it is way too much. they can't possibly spend it in one year. mo brooks from the great state of alabama, he is member of the house freedom caucus, their official stance this is way too expensive. he said yesterday, mo brooks said i'm not a no, i'm a hell no. brian: congratulations on that. i haven't heard that in ten minutes. 6 billion for opioids. for mo brooks. ainsley: not against you. brian: i'm saying in the big picture, paul ryan is as fiscally responsible as anyone. he is in a leadership position, five or six times we've had a cr. this is only way to go forward. we continue to have standoff but defense secretary james mattis says our defense is falling apart. russia and china are number one enemies, immediate enemy is north korea. we spent everything. you have no choice. >> american public spend all this money, taxpayer dollars, give it to all the agencies, we've seen in the past how some of these agencies have elaborate parties. they spend all the monies at hotels in hawaii. seen video of shrimp on a treadmill. we see that, so many people in the military say men and women are dying out there on navy ships in the middle of the pacific. you hear these stories because of error. because we don't have the money to train them properly. people get very disheart inned. we work so hard and we want our men and women get paid for signing up in the military. we owe them that. general mattis had this to say. >> shutting down the government would be very damaging to the military for all the reasons i cited about a continuing resolution, but aggravated by the shutdown itself, what we actually send home all non-uniformed personnel but except those in a few critical areas. it paralyzes everything that we do if we go into that other than the on going active operations at sea. there the troops will continue to fight. the ships will stay at sea, but bottom line is, training is delayed, impact just ripples through the force. ainsley: goes on to say he will spend the money wisely. we trust him to do that. steve: to your earlier point. people are frustrated. we spend so much money to washington, d.c. ainsley: to other countries that don't even support us. steve: that too. does washington spend wisely? not in every case. no doubt the military was decimated many experts say during the obama years. ainsley: figure it out. figure it out. cut the fat. give money to the military. brian: because of sequester. here is what the president tweeted out. the budget agreement today is so important for our great military. it ends the dangerous sequester, gives secretary mattis what he needs to keep america great. republicans and democrats must support our troops and support the bill. i think it sends a message, listen, under me, i don't get everything but i get things done. that is what the president got elected to do. spending too much, yes. if we grow fast, look at entitlements, all of sudden that would free up something that would correct things by 2020, as opposed to staring at each other for the next two years. >> so that is down the road. looks like the senate takes up official vote in the morning, in couple hours, it will go to the house. not a done deal with the house. house freedom caucus is squarely against spending a lot of dough. don't know official headcount there. also on democratic side, you have a bunch of democrats, who because of nancy pelosi's talkathon yesterday, that brought so much notice on to the daca deal, it was like, okay, she negotiated it, now she is protesting it? i don't quite get that. if i vote for the budget deal, what am i saying about daca ultimately? ainsley: she spoke for eight hours on the house floor yesterday, filibustering. who was the, the longest ever been done since 1904 five hours. brian: remember it was like yesterday. it was five hours. this accomplished nothing. his nickname is champ. he lost to woodrow wilson. it was a stunt. to all say the daca deal is not included. if you're in leadership, nancy, don't vote for it, tell everyone not to vote for it, we'll continue not to fund the market. march 6th is the deadline. it will be couple weeks. she wanted to speak for eight hours and 7 minutes. she referenced her grandson. it is heartwarming story. get your tissues ready. >> my grand son has a friend antonio from guatemala, has beautiful tan skin and brown eyes and the rest. this was such a proud day for me because when my grandson blew out the candles on his cake, they said did you make a wish. yes i made a wish. what is your wish? i wish i had brown skin and brown eyes like antonio. so beautiful. so beautiful. the beauty is in the mix. ainsley: everyone knows not to ask what the wish is. he is not supposed to tell the wish. steve: ask for viewer mail. the dems have used identity politics for some time. it is getting old. ainsley: lou said nancy reminded us why congress has 2% approval rating. steve: it's up. brian: that was your best lou voice i ever heard. i my try amy. the typical democrat using race to to advance their agenda among minority voters. be proud of who you are. not be somebody else. now finish your piece. ainsley: or your cake. steve: lou gutierrez from the great state of illinois, by agreeing to these budget caps, essentially what the democrats have done they have given republicans all of the leverage. funny know. i got to ad kind of imagine the republicans feel exactly the opposite. ainsley: everyone in that chamber was like, oh, gosh, another hour. doris matsui was falling asleep behind here is the president at the national prayer breakfast. brian: who is he? steve: the guy clapping in center of the screen. he tweeted out a couple minutes ago he was looking forward to appearing here. he referenced fact that his long-time friend, mark burnett producer of "the apprentice" will be in attendance. going to the national prayer breakfast in washington. many great leaders and friends, and including mark burnett, great producer of the 14 seasons of "the apprentice." brian: president cites a lot of time, coming on "fox & friends every week was a help to me in the run for president. i also think mark burnett was a huge help to him, i got the idea from "the apprentice," i think donald trump would be per february. he was right. so he, we are expected that he will speak in a couple of minutes. when the president makes his remarks, we will go down to the washington hilton in northwest washington. ainsley: that is charlie crist at the podium, former positive of florida. brian: yes. he changes party every day. ainsley: he flip ad few types. brian: in the middle of this speak he will. steve: we'll take a quicktimeout back with the national prayer breakfast. of. this is the story of green mountain coffee roasters dark magic told in the time it takes to brew your cup. first, we head to vermont. and go to our coffee shop. and meet dave. hey. why is dark magic so spell-bindingly good, he asks? let me show you. let's go. so we climb. hike. see a bear. woah. reach the top. dave says dark magic is a bold blend of coffee with rich flavors of uganda, sumatra, colombia and other parts of south america. like these mountains, each amazing on their own. but together? magical. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters packed with goodness. when did you see the sign? when i needed to jumpstart sales. build attendance for an event. help people find their way. fastsigns designed new directional signage. and got them back on track. get started at fastsigns.com. steve: we're looking live down at the dais at the washington hilton. ainsley: the dais? very good. steve: the national prayer breakfast is taking place. a number of congress members in attendance. we'll take you there as soon as he speaks. brian: the whip, steve scalise is there. ainsley: a lot of prayers for him. brian: senator lankford as well. president trump inspired by the national bastille day he would like a celebration of our own. the military should salute themselves in front. entire world. secretary mattis saying the wheels are in motion. motion. >> we've been putting together some options. we'll send them up to the white house for a decision. president's respect his fondness for the military. i think it is reflected in him asking for these options. brian: some in the media do not like that idea. but why? ainsley: joining us now with his take our own petewith that? >> nothing. the french be very good -- clear. the french are good at marching not fighting. the you watch, don't turn the channel, if you turn it to another channel they're breathless this means president trump is authoritarian, a dictator in waiting. he wants to stand above his troops and have them honor him. if you truly understand donald trump you know loves our military, he loves our country, he loves displays of patriotism. he believes those should be unifying force. he said from day one this should be a celebration of our military. listen, a parade will cost money, take time. brian: they say 20 million. >> no doubt about that. i've been in parades in the military. you rehearse, you rehearse, you rehearse again, that takes time away from training t could be a display of patriotism, display of force, done correctly it could be a big boost. steve: i would work in washington, d.c., i would go there, we came back from vietnam, the vets said we never got a parade. many vets

pete? >> yeah, me and pete that's the they. >> congratulations, i hope it works out. >> we popped significantly off that that was very close to the bottom today pretty smart trade it looks like right now. and that kind of speculative buys on the call side rather than the put side are what you want to see as far as us stair stepping higher. >> so i've gotten some buys out of you guys over the last however many days. i don't feel like, josh, you're ready to buy this market at all. >> we buy every day. but tactically if we were to get short-term bearish and take exposure off, it would be because you're in a significant downtrend. not just a moving average, but in a downward slope. >> but i don't have you coming here and saying, okay, i bought -- i bought xyz shares today because i think they were oversold. >> i mentioned on the show last week that with the exception of apple, one of the worst aspects of this correction is, a, it happened -- you lost 10% from an all-time high in nine days and none of the high quality stocks really gave you a meaningful entry. when you look at the best companies, the ones that you really want to buy, they're hanging in there way too well to say, oh, it's a gift, everything is on sale you have stocks that are back where they were trading on christmas and no one is getting excited about a pullback like that i have my names, i have some ludicrous goods that cancel buy limits in. hopefully i fill in a couple on the retest certainly didn't get anything on this last pullback by the way, another v. another v recovery, which is probably not what most people expected i don't know why every single one of these episodes has been a v and this is no different so far >> last quick point? >> i don't know if i can make this point quickly i talked yesterday about equity and portfolio correction and there is distinctly a big difference and this is purely an equity correction. if you look at the equity correction, 2870 was the high, 2533 i think was the low where do we sit right now, 2650? that's not that big of a bounce. so the equity market is the one place that of all the asset classes looks the most vulnerable. >> it was a pretty big bounce in only two sessions. >> i would tell you that there's still -- if you look at a chart of the s&p in the last month and you've got that 2873 high and the 2533 low, you're only at 2655 right now there's a long way to go, another 200 handles in the s&p to retest those highs. that's a long way to go. >> in the meantime the stocks that weren't letting you in, quote unquote, they won't let you in, they're still not letting you in at anything even approaching where the worst names are. so like if you really want a big discount, well, feel free, you can buy any utility you want, 15% off its high >> i have plenty of names that i found that were down 10% and 15%. >> midcaps s&p 100 names? there aren't a lot. >> there are plenty of names, large cap names that i found that i actually nibbled on air products, textron, prudential there are a lot of names that were down 10% or 15% that you can nibble on. i think that's pretty attractive. >> let's wrap this up. we're going to come back and bring in mark cuban who's going to join us to talk about what he is q in the markets right after thuick break here's what else is coming up on "halftime. >>> the cnbc program is sponsored by payden and rygel offering global investment solutions. we've helped our investors stay confident for over 80 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. hey, need fast try cool mint zantac. it releases a cooling sensation in your mouth and throat. zantac works in as little as 30 minutes. nexium can take 24 hours. try cool mint zantac. no pill relieves heartburn faster. you know what's not awesome?

i bought puts, not huge positions but enough to be interesting. i also bought some virtu they make money off of volatility and went back and read their transcripts from their conference calls if the volatility continues, i've got enough of a position that i can make some money there. if it doesn't, then i'll make money off the vix puts so i played in both directions. >> interesting we've had doug sefu who runs virtu and vinny viola who founded it on our air the past week so a lot of people are talking about the increased volatility and what it could mean for that stock. is this the new normal now, more volatility it's back and will be this way for a while? >> i don't know. here's the uncertainty and here's why i don't know. you know, you get the tax cut. what's the first thing that people do? let me take a step back. when things are going great, like i said, everybody is a genius in a bull market. no one pays attention to the details because everything is working. and so we kind of ignored th administration and all the political side of things because it didn't matter we got the tax cuts, the gdp seemed to be going up, wages seemed to be going up. life -- you know, everybody is happy, you know. everybody is in mary poppins world. then we saw these last few days where things were crazy. now we have to start paying attention to detail because of the uncertainty. and so if you start paying attention to detail and start walking things through strategically that's what i'm trying to figure out first thing we got the tax cut there's good and bad to it but short term it's great. what are people going to do with the tax cut? they're going to spend money what are they going to spend money on just the basic things they need, which is going to increase imports, which is going to increase the trade deficit now, in the past since the election, past 14 months we ignored all the political things, but if all of a sudden the trade deficits are going up significantly because americans have got a lot more money to spend, what's the -- how is the administration going to react? we kind of ignored that before, but now we have to know. is there going to be a better reason to undo nafta now are there going to be more trade restrictions or reciprocal trade? there was an article in the journal this morning saying that -- suggesting basically if the trade imbalances continued that there would be a reciprocal actions taken. well, that's a negative for the market overall then on top of that, you have the increase in interest rates that are most likely as the market heats up. how are we going to respond to that strategically when we look out ahead, there's more uncertainty introduced because of that political uncertainty and the fact that we have to pay attention to the details now and what the administration might do, i think that's going to increase the volatility, at least for the next year. >> so there are a bunch of different things to discuss with you on all of those points that you made you have a good read into both the tech economy and the consumer economy, obviously, through your sports ownership of the mavericks. >> sure. >> things seem pretty good >> yeah. >> you don't suggest in any way, shape or form otherwise. >> no, no, not at all. i mean, look, people got more money in their pocket because of the tax cut. but that short term is great we don't know how much it's going to heat the economy. but again, because there seems to be a lack of economic understanding in the white house, you're going to see an increase in trade imbalances because we're spending more money for the reasons you just mentioned, we have more money to spend. but what's going to happen next if all of a sudden we start seeing reciprocal trade actions? that changes the expectation of things getting better. >> the president continues to talk about redoing nafta. >> yeah. >> he's meeting with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders at the white house as we speak today to discuss the very issue of trade. >> yeah. up until last week we just ignored all that stuff because everybody was making money on everything when everybody is making money on everything and they're just levering up and making more money and everybody is happy, except maybe if you're in the bond market, then you kind of ignore it. but now you have to pay attention to it and that introduces the uncertainty going back to the shark tank companies, the mavs, business is good there certainly is more money to spend. but there's kind of a race between are we going to increase gdp or increase productivity fast enough to pay down the debt or is all the federal debt going to skyrocket and interest rates go up quicker than we expect and now all of a sudden we lose that tax benefit because we're spending more on interest and other things, taxes have to go back up. >> do you think the bottom was put in on friday >> i don't know. i can make an argument both ways so that's why, you know, i'm playing it both ways if there's less volatility, i'll try to make money using options. if there's more i try to make money as well. >> there's some stocks that have moved that are in your wheelhouse what do you make of twitter? twitter is up today almost 8% and it's been an incredible comeback and rita really a cha the fundamental narrative. >> i'm bad because i bought twitter at 15 and sold it at 22 so obviously left a whole lot of money on the table twitter has done a great job of using artificial intelligence to improve the way they deliver information. they have done an improving job allowing small businesses to buy ads on a self-serve basis. but they're still not doing that very well. they're just doing it better but that's all their upside. now, they still have the issue of trolls. i think they have reduced it some, but it's still a problem you know, particularly if you're active on twitter, you're always going to meet resistance they haven't solved that, but they have taken steps. so i think it's definitely on the upswing. i sold my twitter, but my two largest positions are still netflix that i bought at 50 years ago -- >> which i think, by the way, you documented right after you did it on our program. so you're still holding it. >> yes, still have it. haven't sold it. haven't sold calls on it on anything and then when trump got elected and amazon -- i sold amazon at 500. and then when trump got elected and amazon dropped, i went all in and bought a huge amount and made it my largest position at 700. i still have it all. actually i bought a few thousand more -- more than a huge position for me, but as kevin would say wet my beak on amazon when it dropped. >> i wish he was here to rekindle that fiery debate we had not all that long ago. you know one stock you didn't mention, facebook. i'm wondering what sort of regulatory risk you see around this story and if that is the determining factor as to why you didn't mention that name >> no. i think -- okay, facebook has got a few issues one is obviously trying to figure out what kind of platform they're going to be and who their constituency is, particularly here in the united states outside north america, they're a different product and they serve a different need but, you know, still i think north america still drives who they are and because of the russian interference, that's a big issue. there's mental health issues that they have to address with their users and bullying and things like that they have got so many issues that are going on that i think we saw in their numbers that a big portion of the younger demographics, they may have a facebook account just because they have a facebook account, but they're not really using it. my kids are 8, 11 and 14 the 14-year-old wouldn't consider using facebook unless her grandmother posted something and she had to look at facebook. but on the flip side, even with the snapchat upgrade, they're complaining about it, but they're continuing to use it i think the snapchat upgrade will end up being a net positive for snapchat and i think their self service will be a net positive did i buy the stock? no, i missed the upswing if it comes back, i'll take a closer look. i do think evan and those guys are smart. >> i'll wrap it up on a couple of other names i'm just curious, and throw them out there. under armour we're having a debate today as to whether that stock has bottomed i don't know what exposure the mavs have to under armour if any at all. >> our rookie is with under armour i know kevin i don't know -- i think their worst times are behind them but i just don't know how they're going to be able to grow or where the growth will come from. as steph curry goes and his sale of shoe goes, i think that will drive their upside but i can't say it's -- i don't think you can get much worse i don't think there's a lot of downside risk but i don't know how much higher it will go. >> you're not an investor in those shares personally? >> no, i'm not. >> and just to bring it full circle, apple, tim cook's meeting with shareholders today. what's your opinion on apple today? >> i think -- i think they're going to return a lot of cash to shareholders and i think that's positive if you look back at what microsoft did when there was a last repatriation, remember they did that huge dividend, like a $30 billion dividend, i wouldn't be shocked if apple did the same thing. i think that's driving a lot of the ownership. but i've got the x and it's okay, but it's not spectacular and i think, you know, apple is not going to fail. apple is going to keep on growing. i don't know if we'll see the hypergrowth. for value investors it's fine, for growth investors i think it's a challenge. >> what are you looking for with the x? it's not going to hit three-pointers for you. >> my three-point shots failed long ago. >> thankfully you've got some guys around that still know how to do that mark, thanks for calling in. it's always good to get your thoughts, especially in times like these when the markets are going a little bananas mark cuban joining us there on the phone. >>> let's move and talk about new accusations this hour and what might have caused an unusually high level of volatility in last week's stock market hey, bob. >> hello, scott. through an attorney, an alleged whistleblower has written a letter to the s.e.c. aalle alle the vix is subject to interpretation he said he had been working on by side firms for 20 years in what he called senior roles. the crux of his argument is that vix derivatives, futures and options, are subject to potential manipulation the vix is calculated using options one month out. let's assume the s&p is 2600 and its options price between 1800 and 3000 normally say a thousand or 1200 out of the money are nautical clatd because there's no price to them. the whistleblower contends that one of the only times that they'll see bids and offers in these far out of the money options is just before the settlement on options and futures. he's asking to investigate why that happens his contention is that some traders go long vix futures before this and then put in bids and offers way out of the money and profit when the vix goes up just before settlement now, he says he has not personally observed anyone manipulating the markets directly, only claiming to have observed what he called irregular patterns in the market that impacts investors, he alleges. finally his letter to the s.e.c. appears to contain a serious error by twice referencing the cme when it should be referencing cbo. his attorney said it is a clerical error only. they're also alleging a brief of fiduciary responsibilities by the cbo. the cbo said the letter lacks credibility. scott, back to you. >> all right, bob, thanks. we appreciate your reporting bob pisani on the floor. >>> at least one money manager was warning investors last year about the looming dangers of the short volatility trade our leslie picker is here now with more on that angle. >> that's right. perhaps we're still in search of answers as to what exactly caused the big swings in the markets, but i spoke with one investor last october who predicted the fallout. she said the prominence of traders shorting volatility could one day lead to a spike like the one we saw last week. >> we're in a very, very low-yield, low-return environment. and so investors have been forced to figure out other ways of generating yield in their portfolio, and i think a very common theme, and it's kind of the best sharp trade out there has been selling vol the problem is everyone is doing it now the big short is people who are short vol. now, that doesn't mean vol bill spike hugely at any point but it has the possibility to because so many investors are short volatility. >> nancy davis joins us now. hi, nancy. >> hi, leslie. thanks for having me. >> thanks for being here we should just replay that thing. if that doesn't mean volatility is going to spike any time soon. okay well, it took from october until now. what do you make of what's happened >> i think vol and the level of interest rates are very correlated i think as we've been in ten years almost a very low interest rates, people are looking to alternative ways of generating their return targets and that has created a lot of carry strategies that are frankly using vix and other volatility measures to sell volatility and their delta hedging so they're extracting the difference between implied and realized, but it's created a very large exposure of short volatility and i think it's created a huge opportunity for actually owning vol in the market because everybody else is selling right now. >> there are a couple of things here was this simply a trade that reversed, there were too many people on one side of the boat, or was the volatility of the unwind accentuated because of something going wrong with the way these instruments operate? >> i don't think it's something going wrong, it's just the growth of aum in indices that are passive and that have to trade, like all the vix-related products, they have to execute they have to sell futures to delta hedge to realize volatility that actually occurs in the market. so i think it's just a sign of how many people have flooded into carry yield-generating strategies in the search for alternatives is really because we've been in a low return, low yield environment for so many years. >> les. >> have those shorts been covered at this point? was that last week spike something that would indicate to you that a lot of that popular crowding in the short volatility trades is kind of over at this point or is there still more you're seeing in the market? >> i think it's a sign of how much the market can actually move i don't think it's actually over, but i think a lot of people who say they're long volatility are long, very, very long dated option and short front dated options. i truly think the only thing to own in this environment is actually gamma because that's when you have the move it's all in the front end of the options curve because that's where liquidity is. >> so it's really rent, though it's not own because these things may revert to zero. so it's a trade that you think there's going to be a rash of volatility it's not long term i want to bet on volatility, right, for the viewers? >> no, i don't think -- i like trading options directionally. so to get market exposure, and you can size it smaller by using shorter dated options. if you have -- say you have a dollar to spend, you can spend ten cents a month by owning front dated options versus spending a dollar to by an option that might not move i think the market has really changed. the insurance companies that used to be the big hedgers of volatility were buying very, very long dated options. that's gone because the products have changed a lot of the funds are now in targeting strategies, start beta strategy, they're in strategies that don't need to hedge on the pack end of the curve. so i think the thing investors really need for diversification in their portfolio is actually owning the front dated options to have that gamma sensitivity, the long gamma. >> were you yourself short the short volatility trade >> so said another way long volatility, yes. our firm runs a long volatility strategy, so yes. >> in other words, you said that shorting volatility was the big short. that's why i asked it that way. >> it was a thing that everybody was in and that was the best short, meaning the xiv to be short that because i said the xiv is going to zero it did happen. it took four months to play out. >> how profitable was that trade for you? >> i can't comment about performance, sorry >> but do you think that that is now over do you think we're in a new sort of era of volatility >> i think a lot of people are still in carry strategies. i think it's quite popular still. i like to call it all the flow into systematic, into risk premia, into all these new buzz words we have that it's really the same old thing, it's selling vol it's like long-term capital in 1998, what were they doing they were selling vol. just like mortgages, mortgages are inherently short vol so the opportunity is still very real to own gamma in the portfolio but you have to be careful and not be fooled because a lot of strategies that are selling front dated gamma to finance that. >> what does the vix say to you now? >> the market is not settled down we're not in smooth sailing anymore. people are still in the buy the dip mentality and you can see that with the amount of call open interest in s&p and spydr options. a lot of people have been unwinding hedges, buying the dip. >> do you think there's a complacency surrounding that you bring up a great point, the correlation between rates and volatility to themselves do you think there's still complacency that, oh, the federal reserve, they're not going to be as hawkish as we think they are and that we could return to going into those short volatility strategies, which is going to present a bigger problem down the road? >> definitely. i think the fed reducing balance sheet which started in october is negative qe the curve in interest rates has been wildly flat because we've had such flat curves, people have been seeking carry and yield in other markets, whether it's carry strategies in vol by selling vol, whether it's em countries by selling sovereign debt, but the search for carry is real and it's alive and it will continue until we have these shock events that penalize investors who have been running short vol and also allow for other investors to normalize this market, because we are still in an abnormal market of very, very low interest rates and return expectations in my opinion are still wildly too high for equities and bonds, but other asset classes like asset classes linked to inflation are attractively priced like agricultural commodities because there are no real inflation expectations. >> nancy, if we sit, if we don't have another thrust through 600 dow points or something lower, if we don't see that very quickly, how long do we hold 26? how long does even 20 hold if we don't see another 600-point downward thrust in the next week to ten days? >> i personally don't use the vix. i don't think it's a great product for most investors it's a way to isolate variance swaps and trading front dated options. i prefer to trade options directionally. >> on the s&p probably, right? >> on all things in korea, in south africa, in turkey, in all markets and you can trade volatility on many different asset classes you can trade it on kmaut tecom, on rates, on credits and mark cuban was talking about trading options directionally. so it's not necessarily betting on vix or the move and implied vol, it's really more about taking directional views with no downside. >> leslie -- thank you do you have another question >> i'm curious you mentioned that you are anticipating in investing with the expectation that there will be an increase in inflation. how could the viewer sitting at home play that specifically? what should they be focused on commodities, oil, what are the types of areas that you think is opportunity there? >> we like commodities quite a bit. typically when you have hiking cycles, commodities do well in that period. i'm not a big energy bull. i think energy is like laptops ten years ago where technology is making it cheaper, better and faster so i don't think energy is necessarily the thing to own but other commodities. and we gain exposure to that through options, so we have the con vexity on the upside so we like commodity options directionally to be long we also use products in the rate market that capture realized inflation expectations the problem with tips or break-evens, it's front dated cpi and that's just kind of -- the thing that really matters is the shape of the yield curve every investor has exposure to duration that's in the private equity book, that's in their bond portfolio and their credit book. so we like gaining exposure to inflation. >> lastly, any new warnings that we need to keep an eye on, things you're watching that you'd share with us? >> i think private credit and credit markets, not sovereign, but the corporate credit market is definitely something to keep an eye on. the last shock we had in credit was in january, 2016, when oil fell so aggressively i feel like right now we've had the shock in vix, where vix spiked and various etns were falling but i think watching credit spreads, especially as we have the fed reducing balance sheet and what that's going to mean >> thanks for coming here. >> thanks for having me. >> leslie, thank you for bringing us this interview >>> now, jackie deangelis has futures now for us >> good afternoon, scott well, crude is now off of session lows still in correction territory, though down nearly 12% from its recent highs. jeff kilberg, let's get straight to you what's your outlook for crude oil here >> i think we spent some time at $60 but last week was the most significant selling pressure we've seen in quite some time. certainly there was correlation to the stock market. but let's keep in mind we're seeing baker hughes came out with 26 more rigs came on so that goal by the end of 2018 of 11 million barrels per day in u.s. production, that's coming that's going to be the ebb and flow we also want to look at the u.s. dollar and dpchgeopolitical tenn may be rising. >> jim, do you agree directionally? and what are the levels? >> a couple of weeks ago we had a channel from 55 to 59. the market seems to be trying to get back into that, but it feels a little uncomfortable when it breaks through 59, so i think it's going to bounce from here and all the things jeff said i do agree with. i think rig counts are going up, supply is going up it's mostly a supply story but also a story of coming down 12% in the matter of a few days and i think it could be prime for a bounce. >>> meantime today on the live show we're joined by the godfather of technical analysis, ralph a campora. plus peter boockvar will join us all at the top of the hour on futuresnow.cnbc.com. >>> coming up, jon and pete, they have two new trades based on bullish options activity. "halftime report" back in just two minutes. this is where i trade andrs. manage my portfolio. since i added futures, i have access to the oil markets and gold markets. okay. i'm plugged into equities- trade confirmed- and i have global access 24/7. meaning i can do what i need to do, then i can focus on what i want to do. visit learnfuturestoday.com to see what adding futures can do for you. >>> onnajarian seeing unusual activity pete joins us from minneapolis doc, you're up first >> tang a look at macy's with the stock around 24.60, he came piling in, bought 10,000 of the 25 calls that's not a huge move for macy's, but nonetheless 10,000 options is a million share equivalent, so somebody is looking for a relatively short-term move because these were march options again, not a home run, but probably hitting for a single here with this one, and they swung pretty hard with that block. >> pete, what about you? >> i'm taking an

pete suratos is live at the scene right there. that neighborhood right next to 680/24 interchange. pete, still very active right behind you. >> reporter: yeah, marcus, still an active scene here on the 1400 block of spring brook road in walnut creek. we know that four people were inside, they were able to get out but one person is being treated for smoke inhalation. the smoke is still coming out of this home, you can see the fire was in that carport area and also inside of that home. it was fully involved as contra costa county fire put it to me. i was going to show you guys some pictures they tweeted out from their instagram account, you can see the flames coming out of them who. as i mentioned there were four people inside, one person is being treated for minor smoke inhalation. now, as far as any damage to other homes next to it, there was no damage. i know i spoke to one person earlier who said she didn't even hear what was going on, she was notified by authorities to get out of her home and get out of harm's way. you still see crews here working on the home, the fire started roughly around 4:00 a.m., but they were able to put it out in 30 minutes. they are expected to be here for the next several hours conducting an investigation as the cause of that fire is still under investigation. we're live in walnut creek, petetoday in the bay." >> thank you, pete. >>> at 5:33 new this morning a string of four small earthquakes rattled the east bay in the same area where two small shakers struck yesterday morning. each quake had a magnitude between 2.6 and 3.0. all struck this morning outside of danville in the area around monte vista high school. one quake happened at 1:30, the other three were within a one-minute span at 4:25. this is right near where two small quakes struck a half mile apart yesterday morning. our newsroom checked with usgs. in the past week there have been eight wakes over a 2.5 area in that danville area, six of those since yesterday. we did some checking overnight for you as well. the swarms are centered on an unusual fault and one not likely you've heard of before called the mount diablo thrust fault. it's deep into the earth's crust so it tends to give small earthquakes. the chance of this fault giving us a big one, 6.7 or higher is only three chances in 100. >>> back to our mike cli

pete williams is in our washington newsroom. and betsy wood destructive. pete, let's start with you. the fbi does not want this memo out there. they are wrangling for redactions. what can they do >> i don't think they've decided. here's the deal. if the president says i don't have any objection, in other words poses no objection to the house releasing the memo then we get into this strange situation where it becomes public but not declassified. it may sound weird but only the executive branch can declassify something not the judicial branch. >> we have a hard in with congressman schiff who is being interviewed right now. let's listen. >> have to let everybody know about this? >> during the hearing, when the republicans took up a vote to put their memo out and not put the democratic memo out jim hines asked the chairman is this memo you're putting out the same one that's been circulated the house. the answer is yeah. that didn't turn out to be true. in fact hines pressed him a couple of times but got the same answer. the memo had been altered. we learn later that evening and confront the majority on it. now they had claimed that their changes were clerical. that's not truetter. in fact, yesterday the intelligence committee spokesman said that the fbi was guilty of omissions in court proceedings. one of the changes that the majority made, i can't go into details about it, is to remove the word "significant" from material changes. they no longer apparently believe any omissions were significant because they removed the word "significant." that to me is a consequential thing. it's one thing if you say there's omissions before the court and another if you say those omissions are significant. other changes also indicate that they are not quite as confident that what they provided to the house is fully accurate. and overstates the matter. so these changes were not made known to the committee when we voted out the document. the document that they produced to the white house is evidently not the same one we voted on. and it's just another corruption of the process. >> now, does it say in your committee rule that if something would be changed like this that you have to revote on it and if so, how do these steps, jumping over the minority, not really discussing with you guys all the time or at least giving you another round to vote on this. does that change the committee? like how should we view the house intelligence committee moving forward? >> well, the rules provide that the majority of the committee can vote to declassify a document. we voted as a committee, the majority voted to declassify the document. they can then just release a different document. so that's a violation of the rules. now our system in the house is only as good as the speaker who is willing to uphold the system, and sadly the speaker has allowed himself to -- i think pushed into a corner by the chairman. he hasn't been willing to stand up to the chairman or the president and that has undermined the institution. but there's no basis now to disclose this altered document because the committee did not vote to release an altered document. >> now you brought up speaker ryan. do you think that he had anything to do? do you know that he had anything to do with either helping get these documents or just approving them all together? >> well, i would presume that this whole gambit of releasing this memo, this spin memo by the republicans was approved by the speaker. it's a violation of the whole compact between the committee and intelligence community. that compact provides you share with us your closest held secrets. we'll keep them protected. protect your sources and m th methods. that's been broken here. the speaker is a complicit party in the breaking of that compact. >> now, do you think that -- >> excuse me one second. >> yes. >> it seems unfortunately slightly awkward because adam schiff is being interviewed by one of our producers in philadelphia. >> the gambit at the white house where he went to present materials that he got at the white house, materials that didn't show what he said they showed forced him to step aside months ago. he never honored that commit pentagon. the time has come for him to honor that commitment. let mr. conoway run the investigation. he's a good and responsible partner. yes, i think our investigation would simply not be credible or productive as long as chairman nunez is at the helm. >> do you think if congressman conoway were there from the beginning it would look different >> undoubtedly it would look very different. we wouldn't have any of these shenanigans and our committee wouldn't be breaking this compact with the intelligence community. we wouldn't be, i think, maligning the fbi and department of justice to carry water for the president. so i think things would be very different. >> do you think that the ethics committee should have looked at nunez again -- first i should ask you do you believe that this is a mishandling of classified information in that nunez is at the helm of that and should be blamed for something like that? >> i don't like to make ethics referrals or ethics arguments. but i think in the interest of the investigation he should have really stepped aside when he said he was. he certainly ought to, i think, yield the reins of this to his colleague mr. conoway. let him run this in an appropriate way. this is bringing discredit on, i think, on mr. nunez, on our committee. >> so adam schiff right there talking to an nbc reporter in philadelphia after an event. he stayed words that were omitted in the memo that went from the house to the white house, that "significant" was taken out when talking about significant omissions. he said there's a difference between just regular omissions and the word "significant omissions." he said this investigation into the fbi is a violation of the pact between the fbi, intelligence community and the intel community a pact they won't reveal sources and methods just for political gain. he also said he does believe that devin nunes should step aside. i got a number of folks here with me. we have pete williams, betsy wood destructive and kelly o'donnell. pete let's go back to you. devin nunes or adam schiff obviously not happy about this memo being released. he's calling it a violation of the pact. does the fbi see it that way? >> your question to me originally i was going to answer when this interview started what can the fbi say about it? it depends on how it becomes public. if the president puts it out, in essence, declassifies it, it may loosen the reins on the fbi to talk about it. if the white house puts it out that doesn't declassify it. if i can equitable with what adam schiff said. the white house rules say they can disclose publicly any information that's been classified. that doesn't declassify it technically. may seem weird. makes it public. only the executive branch can declassify not the legislative branch. the fbi's hands would be tied in terms of how they can respond. nonetheless i will say that what we're told is the fbi is trying to figure out what it can say abou

pete williams on the story tonight. pete, number one, your big picture reporting of what you're hearing, what's happening and number two, whatever the reasons, obviously the number three post at doj is important, walk us through what happens. >> i'm told that there's no other plans for anybody else at justice to step down or no more recusals coming in. she's not out yet. she probably, we're told by friends will be leaving the justice department within the next couple of weeks and what we're told by friends of hers is that she had a, as one person described it, a job you don't turn down offer. one can ask themselves, might she have turned it down, but we're told she's leaving to take this job in the private sector. associate attorney general is not a job for everybody. for some it's a good fit and for some it isn't. and who knows if that's a factor here as well. in terms of succession, there's two ways to look at this, ari, and the only reason we care about this is for the special counsel rules. now the regulations say that when the attorney general is refused, it's the deputy, they don't say beyond that. but the order of succession tells us the answer and it's attorney general, deputy attorney general associate and then various u.s. attorneys around the country. now the next one in the succession line is the u.s. attorney right across the river here in alexandria, virginia in the eastern derriistrict of virginia, and then it goes to the eastern district of north carolina and the northern district of texas both of which have senate confirmed u.s. attorneys. but i think the way to look at this order of succession things is sort of how does the government work on autopilot? if something really bad happens, this is why for example, the order of succession doesn't do what you would normally think it would, which is to go now to assistant attorney general or the solicitor general or some other high ranking senate confirmation at the justice department. it starts to fan out around different regions of the country, in case some god awful thing happened and you had to reach around the country to find somebody else to mind the store. so this is sort of the autopilot thing, but the president is always switch to manual mode. he can put anybody he wants in these positions, they just can't be acting, they have to be confirmed positions. that's what the rules say, that an acting person can't be in the line of succession. so for example if we have an acting u.s. attorney as we do right now in virginia, you skip over that and go to the next one, so there's two ways to look at this, it's sort of a default thing but it doesn't tell us how it actually might happen. >> and you're citing of course the executive orders that were put out for the line of succession, any president has the authority to change those as well. >> and they all do. and the president has changed this thing, i think maybe twice or three times. >> yep. >> i thought the most recent one was in february and then it was called to my attention by you and others that actually there's a more current one in march and that's the one i've been talking about. >> pete williams, thank you for your reporting tonight, i know you are busy on this story. >>> so i turn to nbc news.com, jennifer ruben. and luke harding who has been all over many aspects of the russia probe. i want to widen out for viewers who are interested in this story, but get a little nervous when me and pete start going deep down into executive order succession, and by nervous, i mean bored. the point is not who's on that list necessarily, although it's our job to keep track of it and we try to. but the point is, after a week of memo gate, while bob mueller continues to grind on. and this white house fired an 23 fbi director, said they don't have confidence in mueller's boss, and making a point of attacking fbi and doj officials by name. in context, here you see it, fired, attempted discrediting, sidelined, you see it all over there as attacked, the top dem, you see rod roserosenstein, his number three, the person who might replace him out. how would you view this for viewers at home

to the south bay, but it's very close. we've seen the rain in the north bay for quite a while now, where you see the greens, light rain, yellows and reds show heavier rain and it's now moving across parts of the richmond-san rafael bridge and the golden gate bridge, too. so if you are driving out of the north bay into parts of the east bay or the south bay, it is going to be very sloppy out there. so allow extra time to get to work now. heavy rain in richmond and we are also seeing a steady rain right now in san francisco. a little bit lighter there, but getting heavier for berkeley and also for oakland. seeing some pockets of some heavier rain moving through orinda and also in parts of the delta. we are still going to see the light rain making its way farther to the south, but really starting to po you are in san mateo and it's all clear right now in san jose. the rain will make it to san jose within the next 30 to 40 minutes and then continuing to make its way off towards the south and east. we will see it for a little while, give it a couple hours before it clears out, but there will be some clearing today, breaks in the rain, and thunderstorms popping up for this afternoon that could produce small hail. we will be watching out for that, but it will be a quick one and done before it clears out tonight with colder temperatures. our next round of rain moves in on wednesday into thursday and the rain just continues between thursday and friday and saturday before it finally gets out of here during that time we are looking at the potential of getting anywhere from one to possibly three inches of rain this week and then for the sierra we are looking at anywhere from two to three to possibly four feet of snow. i mean, look at that, kingvale could have 80 inches of snow in week and we know we so desperately need it with the sierra only running about 20% of normal for snowfall. and then for the seven-day forecast it's just going to stay chilly with a break in the rain tomorrow and most of the day on wednesday. now, mike, you are still tracking that crash in hayward. >>> i am, but i'm floored by that 80 inches of snow you are talking about. that's

commuter it spit out an itinerary for a different time with someone else's name on it. aero mexico couldn't sort it out so juan had to buy a new ticket right there on the spot arriving in oakland seven hours and $685 later. juan then asked for our help figuring out what happened here. well, delta traced the breakdown to juan's confirmation code. it said aeromexico may have assigned the same confirmation number as the delta confirmation number to another passenger. delta agreed to refund juan the $260 he spent on the original ticket. juan took it. he said he appreciated our help. when one airline handles flight operations for a different airline they call it code sharing. it's vital passengers like you and me and juan reconfirm code share flights to make sure the partner airlines are
