joining our exchange, anastasia, jeff taylor, ron mullencamp. mark tepper, and our own rick santelli. and, folks, i begin our conversation quoting from today's edition of ""the financial times" which quotes seth coll sethklarman. he says any time in which the s&p 500 jumps 32% while corporate earnings barely increase should be cause for concern, not further exuberance. he says eventually buy the dips will be replaced with what was i thinking? ron mullencamp, i feel the need to go to you. you're a value investor like seth klarman. >> what seth is saying will be true eventually, but the assumption that the market going up 30% when the economy didn't do all that much assumes it was fairly priced a year ago. frankly, we think a year ago it was discounting a bit higher inflation. inflation has come in. it's about 1.7%. frankly, we think it's fairly priced for about a 2% to 2.25% inflation. there's all kinds of things out there that can hit it. you know the litany as well as i do, and the bears always have better specific arguments, but the ultimate bull a

. >> when somebody's joined by ron wyden on the floor and mark udall, they get a certain kind of coveragemember john mccain going to college campuses when he was a presumptive nominee. i've seen this before where the press finds the bridge-building aspects of a candidate interesting. once they actually run for president, they start to get covered for how they actually govern. and it's interesting, beck has tried to reestablish himself. his reputation suffered a lot as he was on his way out of fox news. tried to reestablish himself as the kind of libertarian who builds these bridges between ideologies. paul can do that for now. he's good at it. he's a very natural politician. once he starts to become a presidential candidate, which is going to happen maybe in flnine months, i do think that's going to shift. it will be interesting to see if the young liberals and libertarians who like him now stick with him when he has to compete in iowa and change what he's focusing on. >> well, he does have the -- he's the first republican to assemble a network in all 50 states. >> yes. >> bridge building

tom deso, mark gruberg and rula brafis charles rat bone, ethan deble. os, ron, walter, and barry toronto and mr. lions, the microphone is on. >> okay, great, thank you. >> first of all, i want to say thank you to supervisor mar for calling this hearing. and i also wanted to thank supervisor campos for some very what i would see as very poinant questions and so i want to say that i am a proud resident of district one in the richmond district and i became an uber user probably two years ago, for you know, no other reason than the fact that it is a multihour affair frequently to call a cab on the west side of san francisco. and so, but sense then, going back to some of the questions of lack of evidence, of discrimination, i am here to tell you that i am living proof that discrimination exists and you know, i want to tell you a quick story and i don't want to take all day and i know that there are a lot of folks here with their own stories but a couple of weeks ago i was on the way to a job interview and hail took ten minutes to show up and i got my text message to

ron ald reagan poster? the attend ee said how could i say no. ronald reagan, still very much idealized. >> sam stein and mark halperin, always a pleasure. we'll turn to you for more updates as it unfolds, despite concerted efforts from the president and other leaders, the crisis in ukraine is continuing to spiral out of control. yesterday russia's vladimir putin rebuffed warnings about future intervention in crimea during an hour-long phone call with president obama. and today putin declared he could not ignore calls from help from russian sympathizer in ukraine. deepening tensions was a vote to seck seed from ukraine. crimea will vote on that next week. the governing body stood and applied the crimean delegation in moscow. peter alexander is monitoring developments at the white house. peter, putin is ignoring the president. kerry is headed back to the u.s. without much in his hands in terms of victory. is it diplomatic solution looking less possible than when we went into this week? >> reporter: a spokesperson for putin said within the last hour there remains hope for some sort of resolution to this situati

oregon democrat ron whieden, i'm extremely troubled that the cia leadership has not responded to questions. this is simply not acceptable in a democratly. -- democracy. and mark, up for re-election this year, had tougher words. >> i've lost confidence in director brennan, particularly because he won't acknowledge the misdeeds and misconduct of the cia. >> getting awfully close to seeing senators actually call for brennan to step down. now, this morning, nbc news is reporting that senator udall is putting a hold on the president's pick to be the cia's general counsel. right now, the white house is standing by director brennan, but it's treading lightly on the details, while the department of justice investigates, or at least decides whether to investigate, senator feinstein's claims and director brennan's questions on whether senate staffers improperly took sensitive cia documents from a virginia office. the president confident that director brennan has been straightforward with him about his version of the events? >> the president has great confidence in director brennan -- >> on these events? >> i'm not privy to conversations with -- and i'm not getting into

main reason why those john brennan cia director marks jumped out at me and so many other people, they seemed to be very different from what we heard from ron noble, the head of the -- of interpol, who seemed to be downplaying any notion of terrorism. and for malaysian authorities, also downplaying any notion of terror. and then all of a sudden the cia director says not at all, they're not ruling out terrorism. so it seemed to be a difference in emphasis, a difference in tone from the cia director to these others. but hold on for a moment, because kit darby, the pilot, is still with me here. you were shaking your head when you heard what tom fuentes was saying about for an hour, at least, this plane was flying without these transponders. >> yes, sir. certainly, the plane could fly without a transponder. and the question is, was it flying without communication because it had to? or was it flying on purpose and the pilots were taking it somewhere? typically, terrorism would be catastrophic. it would end with a bomb in flight. it would end with a crash whenever they wanted to crash it. but the timing, hour, hour and a half, that sort of coinci

ron kirby and ruthanne lodato were all gunned down at their home. they were all active in the community. and today, there was more talk of what evidence there is against charles severance. and mark segraves there at the russian embassy where he allegedly wanted to have asylum granted to him. >> he is inside of that jail, because he is fighting extradition. he would rather be in russia. ten days ago, he showed up here asking for asylum and turned away. secret service, and police followed him up to the national cathedral where his car was parked. a few days later, severance drove five hours to wheeling, west virginia, where he was arrested. he is still there in jail where he is going to stay up till the judge decides what to do with him. >> reporter: charles severance refused to answer any questions today, even when the judge asked him his name. the public defender told the judge that he advised his client to remain silent. prosecution made it clear they want him held without bond, because of the possible c connection to the alexandria murders. the prosecutors said he is wanted by alexandria police in connection with the three murders. >> that is what i said in court, he is danger

mark segraves, news4. >>> the investigation in alexandria centers around three mu murders. nancy dunning, the wife of a former sheriff. ron kirby, a regional transportation planner. and music teacher ruthanne lodato. she's the daughter of a prominent judge. their murders span more than a decade, but they have chilling similarities. all three were well known active members of the alexandria community. all three were killed in their homes. just last week police said that there was strong evidence suggesting that the cases are linked, and may be the work of a single killer. >> and charles severance was a once recognizable figure to anyone who followed alexandria city politics. northern bureau chief julie carey covered the beat in the 1980s, and she knew of him, and she said that some thought he was odd and others found him threatening. julie continues with the coverage here from the alexandria police headquarters. >> that is right. i knew him as an independent candidate for mayor in 1996 and 2000 and i can tell you that he cut a very unusual figure for a politician. he would come to campaign events not in a suit and tie, but

ron kirby was shot multiple times or month ago inside their home. >> he was already gone. >> she met with police before yesterday's announcement that forensic evidence, specifically similar markings on the bullets possibly link her husband murder to the teacher ruthanne down four was gunned weeks ago, and today the dunning, was also murdering inside her home 10 years ago. >> the whole thing does not make any sense. time, there was believed that kirby's case was o wasted, and lodat targeted. >> we do not believe they need to be overly concerned. >> now, evidence possibly ties the decade dunning case in as well. >> in the early days, something like that may be said to him and as you get further into the investigation of you realize that that is not necessarily correct. >> the murders are in a 12 mile during thehappened day. >> we do not have anything to release at this point. >> questions that will hot the community until they find the killer or killers. >> the hardest thing is that he is not here. >> alexander police and ron kirby's widow asking anyone for any minute -- with information to call police. alexandria,ve from jennifer donnelly, abc 7 news. >> thank you. d.c. cousin bra
