ron: huge. in washington, d.c., you have 17 students who will lie down in front of the white house for three minutes, the amount of time it took for the shooter to gohrough the school. 17 students being 17 who were killed. next month in march, many of the students from this school are coming to washington to demand action. the 18-24 demographic is the largest voting block in thete united s bigger than the seniors. these students, if they are tibilized and want to vote, they could have a draimpact on the midterm election. jane: do you think anyone is listening to them at the moment? ron: i certainly am, ahink there are a lot of politicians -- marco rubio in florida -- a loof these politicians hav been reluctant to go forth with gun safety legislation. i think they are definitely have their sobering. jane: ron christie, thanks for joining me. ron: great to see you. jane: the florida shooting was nothe only thing on the president's mind this weekend. he tweeted not month twice, -- not once, not, tw

rajini: ron christie, thanks for coming in. ron: good to see you. rajini: well, another dantroversy in washington was over the crowd size of tuesday night's state of the union address. prident trump took to twitter for the first time since the speech to say that tv viewership was the highest in history. nielsen, which tracks the ditrendsutes the claims. had to defehas similar claims by the president was former press secretary sean spicer, and a short time ago he spoke to my colleagues katty kay and christian fraser for their program "beyond 100 days." katty: you served this president who has this needed to say everything is the bi why does he do that? does he believe he has bigger ratings for the state of the union address than any president has had before? sean: two things. one, i am out of the audience d crowd size business. number two, i think with respect to your question, the president is a marketer. this is what he has been doing his whe life -- selling buildings, talking about shows and how well the ratings are doing. he has his own way of pr

how do steve and ron manage these deadlines with such calm?ach of them has their open style but both include making sure their employees know they're part of a team. what's the secret to you getting people to getting stuff done on time? >> the secret is i give them the opportunity to be part of a crazy, wonderful art group and they have the opportunity -- it's like being in a fraternity in college. they fit in. they found their niche. they see something huge going on. and they feel like they're part of it. >> both ron and steve use time lines to do this and intermediate deadlines along the way. but we all know even the best of plans can get derailed. >> then you have sickness or injury. you lose people. so the schedule is usually -- they work for the first two or three months and then you throw them out the window. >> the excitement of the final deadline itself eventually gets the staff moving as they start to see things coming together. on the other hand it's trickier they say to get their employees jazzed about meeting the less exciting mid

ron was the only one who stepped up. >> i couldn't do it. >> it's hot. it's hot.ed challenge. rob marciano joining us live on the phone. thanks for calling on your day off. what did you think of the pepper? >> he is such a one upper. why does everything got to be a poker game with you? i see your one pepper and raise you two peppers. in your defense, obviously no one else ate the peppers. is that what i'm to understand? >> that's right. >> i'm the only one. >> what we all say to that, rob? put your money where your mouth is. >> thank you. i know you guys are keeping your eye on the ball. it's all about the charity, raising money for als. i know you're going to do your part and step up and donate to the charity. it's such a horrible disease. they need the money for research and to find a cure. speaking of charity, sam champion, thank you for stepping up to help out while ginger is on maternity leave. boy, you've seen the circus. you know what you're dealing with there. you've got the sympathy of america. >> rob, we love you and america loves you and sam. we're happ

this is where ron's point is critical. when there are further indictments, the question will bs this used to undermine indictments and do house republicans stand by the president and say, i will not accept the findings of the mueller investigation. i think that's where we're headed here. >> cnn has been reporting for months, maybe even more than a year at this point that the dossier was used to get the fisa warrant -- a portion. it was part of it. whether or not it was crucial or integral, who knows about that. actually, ron, this gets to my question about what we're also hearing from the white house overnight, there's apparently concern from some advisers to the president that when this memo goes public, it will be a did, that it will not excite people as much as we hear -- republicans saying it's bigger than watergate, the sky will fall. it may not prove any of those things. >> first of all, we had not seen the memo from nunes, so we don't know. certainly the arguments, the tea leaves have been that essentially that's wh

>> here now, ron brownstein, and rebecca burg. good morning to both of you. let's revisit the president's tweet. this memo totally vindicates trump in probe. but the russian witch hunt goes on and on. there, the president's spelling of their, not ours, was no coclusion and no obstruction. the word now used because after one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing, collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace. ron, first to you, the memo does not go specifically to the question of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. it doesn't go to specifically the investigation of potential obstruction of justice. >> right. it doesn't justify any of the claims in the tweet. and in fact, what the tweet does, i think, is underscore the real purpose and point of the memo. and further kind of change the political dynamics around it. i think the most significant aspect -- first, the memo i think is very unlikely to change any opinions about the validity of the mueller investigation, which is running at roughly 60/40 positive in polling. largely, because even

joining us now jill wine-banks, matt miller, and ron klain. he's also the former chief counsel to the senate judiciary committee. jill, first of all, i want to get your reaction as a trial lawyer, prosecutor, to this switching of lawyers by rick gates at this stage of the proceedings and the reporting we have that the new lawyers have been seen spending some extended period of time in the special prosecutor's office. >> sure. bu before i do. i have to say listening to your wonderful opening i was thinking you said everything that needs matt miller, and ron klain. he's also the former chief counsel to the senate judiciary committee. jill, first of all, i want to get your reaction as a trial lawyer, prosecutor, to this switching of lawyers by rick gates at this stage of the proceedings and the reporting we have that the new lawyers have been seen spending some extended period of time in the special prosecutor's office. >> sure. bu before i do. i have to say listening to your wonderful opening i was thinking you said everything that needs to be s

. >> i'm standing on the campus of liberty university where, up next, we speak with professor ron miller on his book, "sellout." ron miller, when you and i initially spoke on the phone to book this interview, you said to me that since moving to lynchburg, the perspective that you had in the book had changed. could you explain that? >> well, i think it was a matter of location. when i wrote the book, i was on the outskirts of washington, d.c., and i find that because of the proximity to the center of power, that that has an influence on your perspective, your view of things. and i was politically active at the time. so all of those things sort of made the book not only a memoir, an explanation of how someone could grow up in a family as i did, a family with very conservative values but very liberal political allegiances, and then end up becoming politically conservative. it also became a perspective of how i viewed issues through that political lens. so coming into our current situation here in lynchburg at liberty university, number one, it's an academic perspective. number two, since it

are over more on this i'm joined now by ron haas go in our washington studio he's a former assistant director at the f.b.i. had a thirty year career with the bureau and retired in two thousand and fourteen mr haas go thanks for being with us earlier james conway the former f.b.i. director called this memo dishonest and misleading is it. well look we're talking about a three eighty three and a half page memo that presumes to describe deficiencies in phase a process that probably has much more below the surface than what we're seeing in these three pages my understanding is the f.b.i. was looking at from a counterintelligence perspective quarter page for several years for his intersections and relationships with russians that perhaps at some point he was warned about those caution about that those relationships persisted and my supposition would be that the f.b.i. knew much much more and included it in the pfizer request and the renewals that is depicted by this three page memo and so you're saying there's more going on here than meets the eye based on this memo is it a bombshell that

johnson is ron johnson. i mean, okay he would be the first one to admit that was a mistake we'll see who he picks this time >> so he's going to pick him >> we'll see who they pick okay by the way, "the halftime report" is going on the road >> you taking stephen? >> just to get away from me. >> we are live tomorrow, tomorrow, u.s. bank stadium in minneapolis. that is the home of the super bowl and we're going to be joined by al michaels calling the game for nbc. brian cornell, local target company, obviously he's the ceo, he'll be with us as well, we're excited for that you can watch that, catch all of that, jim cramer is going to drop by, obviously he's excited about the game too you can watch the super bowl on sunday night, 6:30, nbc. >> cornell is a guy i would bet on >> next in the blitz, the trades on nvidia, ebay. "halftime report" is back after this this is a tomato you can track from farm, to pot, to jar, to table. and serve with confidence that it's safe. this is a diamond you can follow from mine to

ron, good morning. >> good morning. >> okay.tart here with the framing from congressman garamende that this is getting closer to the campaign, closer to the president. what is the significance as it relates to the question of potential collusion between the campaign and russia? >> right. the first point is that the charges still are not directly associated with the campaign. it goes with what we have seen from the special counsel from the beginning. first of all, we have learned over and over that the special counsel robert mueller can keep a secret in an era of pervasive media, he constantly surprises us. and i think we have to be very sober about acknowledging we don't know what he knows. but clearly the second point is that he's very organized and methodical and works from the outside in. and i think you have to look at this first the indictment and then the plea deal from rick gates as an effort to put pressure on paul manafort who has, as you pointed out, was the campaign chairman and the campaign manager for a critical per

for se perspective, we're joined by financial journalist ron insana., always good to see you. >> thanks for having eme. >> youot a historical perspective. you've sat at this desk durin these types of days before. >> with the person next to you. >> and with me too! >> for that >> yes. >> what do you expect to see tonight and tomorrow as those ian markets open andhen the trading moves around the globe to europe and then back here? >> so, the nikkei in japan was down 2.5% last night followlig friday's ds here. i suspect we'll see additional selling in asia for a variety of freasons, not the least which is the federal reserve, whose policies we're worried about with the pacet of interate increases, but central banks around the world where we're seeing economic growth accerate in developed countries, so does japan tighten, does europe tighten, does china have to slow things down because they're growing again at 7% largely based on infrastructure -- >> we've gone from quantitative ndsing to a very different monetary regime tightening. a little bit. ertainly
