. >> on that note, there is now commitization on both sides of the investigation, republican ron johnsn a lather over text that he chose to release between the two former fbi officials involved in the investigation, lisa page and peter strzok. and this is from 2016, potus, the president wants to know everything we are doing. now republican ron johnson made this sound like president obama then wanted to know everything about the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. the problem is that investigation as far as anyone knew was over in july when james comey spoke. the day of that means president obama wants to know what he could know about the russia investigation which you think a president should want to know about. >> if the russians were engaging in meddling in the election, which i believe that they were, it would of -- of course the president would -- and if you take the text as it was, i would be a little upset if the commander-in-chief was not trying to figure out what are we doing to try to stop the russians from getting into the campaign -- or excuse me the voting stations and vo

we've heard from sarah, we've heard from ron, we've heard from john. the fact is last week things happened and then a positive economic report meaning low unemployment was an impetuous for a market selloff. that is not historically out of the ordinary. the idea that the thing that we all think is good, more jobs, higher wages, lower unemployment, does alarm investors sometimes. >> exactly. and it really is sort of underscoring the markets have been predicated and perfection and it is a -- the goldilocks economy where you don't have inflation and you don't have interest rate increases and that helps stock valuation and the reality is there is a part of this economy that is returning more to normal and that is that we are going to have more interest rate hikes and making stock valuation less a-- and wages will rise and it is an exaggeration because of the winter weather and most didn't make it to work which inflated the numbers. but the bottom line is we're transitioning to the point where financial markets are realizing there is no free lunch. not only

we have cnn analyst ron brownstein and john avlon. the vote today, what do we expect to happen?the senate is clearly there and the house is kind of a mess. >> they have a deal. so they will do the 60 votes, you think? >> yeah, absolutely. this is a continuation of a movie we have seen before. people should understand these spending caps on on both domestic and defense spending are the remnants of the attempt at the grand bargain between barack obama and john boehner. and spending caps were a doomsday machine put in designed to be so onerous. the spending caps they voted twice before to lift. so this is a continuum of what we have seen before. and i think the lesson of 1995, 2013, and the last few weeks is that it is really hard to use -- basically impossible to use a government shutdown as a threat to leverage policy concessions out of the president or the majority party. in the end the house will find awe way to pass this. this is not the battle field in which they want to fight immigration. >> where does that leave nancy pelosi's battle on the immigration? >> that was always a

alisyn and john avlon and ron brownstein are with us.n people talk about fortifying schools, they're talking about armed guards. you have to be trained. you have to know how to use it under stress. these are not things they teach you when you are learning how to be a teacher. how do you think that solution goes over? >> not terribly well for the reasons you just laid out. >> we know the teachers union said no. and others said i don't want that responsibility. >> not only is it well outside their core competency. we will find money for them to be trained to use a weapon in a classroom full of kids. it is a solution that is satisfying for members of the nra. to be fair, members in the odd wre audience suggested it, they teed it up. but it is what he gravitated to in his statement most. that was really telling. he is backing bump stocks, telling the justice department to move forward with that. open on other issues. this is not only highly polarizing but problematic and could easily cause more problems. >> we remember during the campaign hi

state lines, permit in one state and you're concealed weapon will be valid in any other state, johned joi ronck to where we are right now. interesting to hear the house speaker dance around what he will do. >> no, look, i think -- i don't think he danced around very much. he sent the signal as clearly as he could to underscore what we already know, which is that there will be no significant gun control measure that will ever move forward in this republican-controlled house. they simply do not believe that it is relevant to the problem. and it reflects a change, an important change since the '90s we talked about before. when the brady bill, creating the background checks system was passed in '93 and assault ban passed in '94, assault weapon ban was spaced in '94, lots of rural democrats voted against it. 77 democrats voted against it and it still passed because dozens, around 50 in each case, suburban -- dozens of suburban republicans, about 50 in each case, felt they had to vote with bill clinton to pass those gun control measures. what happened in recent years is that the successor to those

ron brownstein. nice to have you all here. it is, as johnersus the white house and the fbi pleading with the white house, do not release this memo, it is not accurate. do not do it. we will learn what the house is going to do today. that's new reporting from abby phillip. so the president has made every indication this memo is coming out. if he does that, despite this fbi warning, ron brownstein, to you how does this end? does christopher wray stay? where does this go? >> you wonder about that. the hand picked fbi director of the president was so strongly worded, you do wonder if he'll stay. i would say the real meaning of this is broader than the initial framing that you just put. it's the fbi against the white house and the house republican majority which is the key here. republicans would like the 2018 election to be about the good news on many fronts in the economy. but the actions of mitch mcconnell and especially paul ryan in encouraging this kind of second front assault on the doj and the fbi i think moved to the center of the 2018 el

ron, i don't want to drop this on you here. we're learning that jared kushner's security clearance has been down graded by chief of staff john kelly. this coming on the heels of reports of a slippery sort of an approval process by which people in the administration were granted enormous access to super sense ty documents. turns out that jared kushner will no longer will be. ivanka trump's husband. what do you make of that? the president said that his chief of staff would decide this matter. if you believe that it would go against jared kushner and his security clearance but apparently it has. >> i think it's a big step, neil. first, john kelly has a wealth of experience. he knows how to treat top secret, classified, the highest classified information. the notion of an interim clear wraps going on at infinitum. a lot of people expected kelly would fold to the expectations of the president. this is a step back from the president and john kelly doing what he thinks is best given the conditions. it could be -- certainly he has more information about how close kushner would be to being cleared or not and maybe some factors that are at
