so we need to see the language. melissa: you're right about that, congressman. keep us posted, thanks for coming on. >> thanks so much. david: we have breaking news. richmond fed president jeffrey lacker seen stepping down as his position today, he was supposed to retire in october. in a statement he revealed he was involved in an alleged leak of confidential information, fed information back in 2012. federal reserve commented, federal reserve committed to maintaining the security of confidential fomc open market committee information. so that is an interesting development. melissa: hmmm. white house reportedly considering methods extreme vetting of visitors to the u.s. new details that could have travelers handing over much more than that passports. david: keeping irs in check, a method first designed to stop drug traffickers, money launders, a lot of small business folks as well. what is being done to fix irs over reach. melissa: susan rice speaking out to responding to accusations she inappropriate unmasked trump officials. this as republican leaders called fo

>> you know, i think so many thins, melissa, but the main thing i think looking at this video, it is ch churning, so unsettling, so upsetting to see the absolute inhumanity of these attacks. but you played the sean spicer sound byte. both the white house secretary and the president of the united states indicated just over the last couple days that maybe assad stays, that maybe we can deal with assad, that maybe absolutely destablize the entire region was the arab spring and our drive to get these leaders out, unleashing tumult in these areas, libya, syria, iraq in 2003. but when you see spicer and you see, more importantly, the president of the united states indicating that maybe we can deal with assad. to have assad then two or three days later launch a poison gas attack on his own people, killing these children, i don't know. to me, i have deep misgivings that the story doesn't make sense. what i mean is, why would assad, now that he has the indications of international acceptance finally, after six bloody years, 500,000 dead -- >> melissa: you're saying you don't think he did this?

melissa: lance? >> so, yes, funny watching video with amazon, one of the thing i noticed is all the robots running around. melissa: yeah. >> they spent so much money on infrastructure for fast delivery. that had been a drag on the business for a time. it seems to have righted itself. amazon so so well-positioned in so many different ways to be pervasive, to it be delivering content and also be a place where you consume the content, you know. end cycle of looking at stuff. digital device, always ready to hear you. amazon, echo and alexa. melissa: carol, i agree with all that. that is interesting. they are a the forefront for technology, i worry about the money spent on content. no one starts out making a bad movie or a bad series. amazon doesn't have anything to do really with technology. it is about art and taste that worries me. am i crazy? >> i think the only reason why you're crazy, you know, melissa, i always agree with you, only maybe a little bit crazy, i don't think content is a big part of the inve

so what's the u.s. move next? we'll break it down with chris wallace coming up on "shepard smith reporting." >> melissa: so what is. next step? bill mcgurn writes for "the wall street journal." rick gretphoupb is a former u.s. spokes person at the u.n. rick, let me start with you. what's next? >> look, i think we've got to have diplomacy with muscle. this is an tune here. targeted strike, the pinpointed strikes were designed to change the calculus of not only assad, but i think the russians, the turks, all of our allies in the region. here is the moment now that we need to go back to friends of syria. we need to show movements. we need to make it very clear to the russian that it will be very difficult. but i think if we can get turkey on our side and we can go to the russians to say, you must change your calculus, i think that we have a chance. and that muscular tkpsy must happen immediately. >> melissa: russia has a lot to answer for. they were a party to susan rice when she assured people that the chemical weapons were gone from syria. listen to this. >> i think the president stated the u.s. view which is the u

the vanguard etf, vnq, is on a multiday winning streak, so melissa, some rate-proxy stocks are doingthan others, even as rates stay pretty static. back to you guys. >> thanks, dom. and "options action" starts at 5:30 p.m. eastern time, right? >> come on, dom. >>> the chart master says reits could be right for your portfol portfolio. he's at the board. carter? >> what a great setup by dom. that's exactly right. meaning this one group that's lagged has come to life. two lines, one blue, one orange, and you can see what they are. look at the spread over the past year or so between utilities and reits. i mean, utilities have done twice as well and are both highly sensitive rates of the market. let's pull it out. here's the interest rate and here's the spread. reits were up this week, they're starting to act well. that's the whole point. you have this setup of underperformance. here's a five-year. reits lagging by half as much. that's your opportunity, but you only do it once it starts to actually happen, meaning now they're starting to act well. they act well this week when the others di

so that certainly casts in a different light that it would have been a sort of career national security professional. >> melissa: so she's out there and pushing for the unmasking of these names. what do you take from that? what does that mean? >> remember, there are two basic theorys in the case. under one theory we have wrongdoing. there were people in donald trump's orbit or on his campaign that had inappropriate contact with russians or russian operatives in order to affect the outcome of the election. if that's not true, then the other thing has to be true, to some degree, which is that it is a frame job, it was a setup. people inside the intelligence commune were trying to make it look like that. this will go strongly to the argument of people who say that it was a setup for team trump. but we still don't know real evidence here. we still don't have facts at hand to get to the primary question of, is there fire where all of this smoke is? >> melissa: so one of the confusing pieces of the story, and we keep hearing about this. devin nunes went in and looked at whatever documents those were. they say that ha

va does and is so important to maintain for veterans, as well as what the va is not doing and not doing well and allow veterans access to though services in the private sector. >> melissat does the va need to focus on to help veterans now? joining me is the ceo of team rubicon. he is also a former sniper in the marine corps. let me ask you first about your reaction to what you heard. do you think that's the right plan, to not privatize it? >> i think it makes sense. reality is many of the federal challenges that veterans are facing when they come back from conflict overseas are very unique. there are some things that private health care can do very very well. but the realities are that there are significant challenges, medical challenges, that are facing veterans that having a closed eco system makes a lot of sense. it should be integrated along lines where there are expertise and efficiencies in the open market. there are thins the va needs to do. >> melissa: it is a disgrace the way it stands. we see the stories all the time. we are not doing right by our veterans. what do you think needs to change first though? >> the va's made a lot of progress, both under the form

have just a couple days to go before voting begins. >> so it's not just economic issues pushing voters to the polls but security issues as well. melissa bell, thanks so much. >>> china's air force on high alert, cruise missile capable bombers preparing to respond to any provocation from north korea. a u.s. defense official telling cnn, an extraordinary number of chinese military aircraft are now being readied for combat. president trump expressing confidence that china is working very hard to rein in kim jong-un. cnn's david mckenzie tracking the latest developments live for us from beijing. david, good morning to you. these comments from pentagon officials to cnn. any comment from chinese officials? >> reporter: good morning, dave. not surprisingly at all, both the ministry of foreign affairs not having any comment that says that chinese planes, bombsers are on high alert, bombers that can unload cruise missiles in the chinese theater and elsewhere, that's not surprising at all. they very rarely comment on military matters to the press or to anyone else publicly. but you saw the statements from president trump saying that china is ap

everything in one place, so you can travel the world better. u >> melissa: fox news alert for you now with reports that president trump is considering military action against syria. russia still firmly backing the assad regime. president vladamir putin warning against rushing to blame assad in the attack that killed dozens of civilians, including children. as this latest atrocity sparks outrage around the world, russia could find itself on a collision course with the u.s. after president trump said the attack crossed many lines for him. benjamin roll is live in london with more. what is the response around the world? >> reporter: well, melissa, you're seeing strong denials from the assad regime and their backers, russia and iran. but the rest of the world really coming together to condemn these actions and point the finger directly at the regime of assad. so the question now, what happens next? today more eyewitness accounts were coming out from the attack itself. one man describing how he had lost his whole family, 25 members, including his wife and twin d

. >> all right, so, melissa, david einhorn's green light capital is out with its letter and they just told investors they earned 1% during the last quarter and that trails the s&p 500's gain of 6%. that's according to the hedge fund's letter to its investors published today. the firm said it bought three new positions stocks wise. first of all, xerox off conduit, then perrigo and an unnamed financial institution that was not disclosed due to policy on european regulation. also want to point out, at they said at the end of the quarter, largest were air cap, buyer consol energy, gm and gold. the partnerships had an average exposure of 108% long and 80% short. back to you. >> thank you. just coming up on the halftime report. >> we have a big cap blitz. straight ahead. 3m, caterpillar, coke, dupont and mcdonald's reporting. plus, two big banks hear it from the shareholders. citigroup and wells fargo face the analyst and we are in those meeting. the halftime report is back in two minutes. but why don't you just go to thinkorswim's chat rooms where you can share strategies, ideas, even actu

melissa: if you look on to what "l.a. times," for example, did, soour dishonorable president, i think a five-part series how president trump is the devil. i think basically the idea. and -- >> but all right. melissa: so petulent, full of blind self-regard, so untethered to reality that it impossible to know where his presidency will lead or how much damage he will do. erin, this is the when you go so hard, tina fey, when you say everything he is done that is evil, only hardcore people anti, are still listening. anyone in the middle, i don't know. i mean it is, you're just protesting against something, rather than offering an alternative, offering something up. you're just like he is the worst. don't you agree? i don't know. >> right. i mean, melissa, these people their bench is lean. democrats have no one to run against donald trump in four years. stop complaining about everything he does, make their party better. work towards a common goal. right now all they're doing is lashing out. melissa: i lost both of guys. sorry about that we got to go. thank

the iaea, international atomic energy agency said they thought they were so far. melissa have no way of verifying. we're not allowed to go in to do reviews. so many things would be difficult to see. one thing is always a farce that idea that we could have snap-back sanctions. that is not how sanctions work. it was very hard to get them in the first place. >> yes. melissa: when they were taken away, had to do in large part, especially european countries want to do business with iran because of their economic state in this open market. seems like we can't put punishment back in place. >> you're absolutely right. you forgot to mention, melissa, russia and china, who the chinese ban to get into the oil and gas business there. the russians the same thing. russia is obviously an energy power. they also sit on the u.n. security council where they have veto powers. it is going to be very, very difficult go back at iran. that is exactly what iran wanted. they knew once they opened up the avenues of commerce would be very hard to shut them down. obama administration had to work ver

. >> going to be so melissa mollet has a look at the roads and some problems out there. >> breaking news 4 traffic. a big backup here on 295. still sticking around but all lanes just reopened. still a five mile backup. southbound 295 after the 11th street bridge is where that initial crash was. 270 southbound at buckiestown pike. very slow there as well. they've had some lanes blocked. 270 at falls road. main and local lanes looking a lot better. gw parkway at morning side lane, just got off the phone with police. southbound we are shut down here because of this vehicle down an embankment. big look at 9 bethe beltway. looking pretty typical right now. when you're looking outside the beltway. travel time 66 okay, 95 northbound pretty normal for this time of day. 270 all right. remember to listen to f.m. >> good morning, melissa. beautiful day outside this morning. bright sunshine. the sun is going to do everything it can to eat up the fog around the area. 59 at national airport. most everybody in the mid to upper 50s. there are pockets of relatively thick fog around early this morning. vi

so it infuriates me, the debate as it exists in washington. >> melissa: it is.t being responsible. how are you going to pay is a question you always hear. is it true we want to hear them make up for the lack of revenue with more revenue somewhere el. do they ever mean they're going to cut the spending to match that cut in revenue? >> they completely ignore that side of the ledger. but the thing is that when we really cut taxes dramatically, when kennedy did it and then when reagan did it again, we got enormous growth. this country is a great country. we're doing pretty well, but we could do so much better, millions of jobs could be created. when reagan cut taxes we had gdp growth of 7% one year. we could have that again. china grew like that for decades. we could do it again in our country and keep those jobs here, keep them from going oversays seas, but we need to cut our taxes. >> melissa: you said something important there. steve mnuchin talked about paying for these tax cuts by making it up in growth in the economy. that when more money stays in the hands of

so, what is the status of these renewed talks? >> reporter: melissa, good afternoon. talks are on going. house leaders are trying to find the right mix of conservative and moderate support. >> it's important that we don't just win the votes of one group, but that we get the votes and consensus of 216 of our member. that's kind of where we are. it's premature to say where we are because we're at that conceptual stage. this is all about getting to the conceptual stage. we don't have a bill text or agreement yet. >> reporter: there is no bill text or agreement seems to lower expectations of getting this done by the end of the week, ahead of the easter recess. >> melissa: what are you hearing from some of the rank and file members? >> reporter: there is definitely attention between some of the members that they would sign on for this package several weeks ago and conservatives who held out. conservatives are defending, trying to strike a better deal. >> what do they need? that's what we're here to do. it doesn't mean that we're going to make it better for one group over a

they think there are surprises in store for this election, especially when the first round is so close, melissa. back to you. >> what are strategists saying about the impact of the terrorist act on the elections? >> reporter: so the terrorist attacks that occurred last night about 48 hours after that, marine le pen has run on security on increasing the military, on supporting the borders and on much less immigration and trying to eradicate what she believes are very radical islamic mosques here in france. why we believe that a political presence here that she benefits. but fillon, the guy that likes mark thatcher. he is strong on security. they believe he may get a boost as well. but certainly, it's a key issue ever since we saw that first attack on dollarly hebdo in 2015 and bataclan. it's atop of the lest of minds. >> thank you, michelle. live on the ground in paris for us. we have a potential government shutdown over the markets. >> that comes to a head next friday. oil coming to $50 bucks a barrel in a month. we see mixed reaction from investors. despite all that, the stockmarket has been r

why is there so much weariness about which way to go and so much uncertainty, melissa? ter: well, i think because already france's political landscape has changed so much, natalie, over the course of the last few weeks. we're facing the possibility -- and it would be the first time in the history of the fifth republic -- that the two main parties that have shared powers since 1958 could be entirely excluded from the runoff. of course, we won't know until 8:00 p.m. tonight whether that's happened. and the french tend to vote fairly tactically. they tend to go into these elections knowing who they'd like to see come to power and voting rather in a tactical way a strategical way to see the person they'd least like to make it does not. this time, given all the uncertainty and the worries, many people are simply confused about what the best, most strategic way is to cast their votes. you have the undecided voters. you have those slightly baffled by the changes their witnessing, the sense that this vote matters more than most. i think that's left a lot of people waiting until

specifically elimination of death tax and taxes melissa, on investment, income on capital gains and interest, that is how wealth is created by investing. so president has done real great first step here getting economy roaring once again. melissa: tim, is there any doubt in your mind this is pro-growth plan? that this would ignite the economy, any doubt? >> no. it is specifically designed to boost growth by about 1%. there are a lot of economic studies that show if we could get away from debate about the income distribution, this is giveaway to the tax -- a way to create jobs. if you can reengineer the tax code to create extra 1% of growth per year, you're talking about millions of jobs. melissa: yeah. >> you're talking about a bigger tax base. i think point is right. equally playing field between high tax states and low tax states and not giving those high tax states free reign on national dime i think it is really smart tax policy they're signaling here. melissa: yeah. danielle, is there any doubt in your mind would create growth? >> we've seen reversal or 85, 95 point in the dow you am looking toward the bond market. it is not buying i

so i -- owe >> melissa: he just bombed syria. i think the tomahawk missiles were quite a statement. >> i don't think that's sufficient. >> melissa: okay. we got to go. we hear you. thanks to both of you. i'm melissa francis. here's >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 in d.c. where the president lost a round on his border wall. last year the cry was fund it now. today it will wait. we'll explain the reality of what happened and what is yet to come. booed in berlin. ivanka trump handling tough questions about her role in the white house and what she thinks of her father's attitude toward women. that brought scattered hisses and boos but she stood strong and poised. and michael flynn, the president's now fired national security adviser may have committed a crime. republican and democratic

. >> we thank you so much. melissa bell bringing us the very latest there. thank you. >>> let's bring in now our own colleague to give us some insight here and lived in france. you reported on french politics for many, many years. help our viewers to understand what exactly is at stake here with two candidates who couldn't be more opposite. >> well, i think one of the reason why this election is more important than just for french people is you've got a lot of european leaders looking at this. because, simply put, two of the four leading candidates right now could deal a body blow to european construction. we're talking about the far right candidate marine le pen and jean-luc melencohn. as for marine le pen the first thing she wants to do if she becomes president take france out of the single currency and abandon the euro and return to the former french currency, the frank. that means the whole idea on which europe is built and cross the borders freely from one country into another which is really part of the european psyche. she wants to get rid of that. th

melissa: they didn't see the weapons? >> sure. we knew they were there. i believe we knew they were there. russians got a heads up so we didn't kill any of their people. you seem to be suggesting that we should have been harsher? there should have been more than 59 cruise missiles? >> melissa: we gotta go. >> if you're going to take out an airport, take out an airport. >> melissa: they did take out all the aircraft that were there. they did take out the munitions. >> should we take out all the air fields? >> melissa: we've got to go. sorry. what is the u.s. military's next step in syria? in nearly three years after scandal exposed patient deaths at the va, the new va secretary is shaking things up. we'll talk to two combat veterans next. >> we discussed the current state of u.s./russia relation. i expressed the view that the current state of u.s./russia relations is at a low point. there is a low level of trust between our two countries. the world's two foremost nuclear powers cannot have this kind of relationship. we further discussed approaches to improving our channels of communication. we had a lengthy exchange

melissa, back to you. >> thank you so much. steve, what are your thoughts on this?e trump administration is cracking down on illegal immigration. there's no news in that. these companies have been warned for a year. the h1-b program is a big one. there's a skill set gap on what companies need and what comes out of post-secondary engine aa in engineering and technical fields. we need to provide those h1-b visas to provide companies the skills they need to run their companies. >> we need these brains. it's a complicated problem. it's going to have a somewhat complicated solution to it. the question is are we educating people and starting educating people in stem areas early enough. the idea of people being pulled out of meetings doesn't feel american to me. if that's actually happening, that's something that needs to be talked about. this sounds like it was second-hand information. >> similar to the issue of minimum wage. goes back to the issue of education. >> thank you very much. we appreciate your time. let's get to comments from bank of america's ceo. a day for ba

and i said no. >> reporter: a defiant melissa wanted her attacker to stay put and answer for his crime, but instead, he dropped the knife and fled. >> sod up running back to his car. i got in my car, and i got out of here as fast as i could. >> reporter: wounded and bloody, melissa picked up the knife and got herself to a hospital for stitches. there she was met by detective clausing of the washington county sheriff's department. >> this wasn't a robbery. he didn't say, give me your purse. this wasn't a dog knapping. he didn't say, give me your dog. this was a vicious personal attack on a stranger. >> reporter: melissa had never seen her attacker before, but lucky for investigators, she had an almost photographic memory. >> he was wearing glasses. he had blond shaggy hair. i said he's about 6'2", 210 pounds. >> reporter: did he look like a normal guy? >> uh-huh. yeah, especially with what he was wearing. just normal clothes from kohl's. >> reporter: melissa could even tell police the make and model of his van. >> she knew it was a blue dodge caravan, likely around 2000 to 2002. >> reporter: despite that great description, investigators

melissa: there is so much wrapped up in partisan politics here.tever the outcome, it seems like one side is going to say they don't feel good about the other side having been involved. >> right now it's the instant committee, the one that will decide these things right off the bat. we have to look through it. if we can allow people to undermine the new president coming in and to do it in a way that's illegal if that's the case, that's pretty serious stuff. we don't want that to happen ever again. melissa: are you concerned about the possibility of collusion with russia and meddling in the election? >> they don't have any arguments. they are still bitter about having lost. hillary was considered the frontrunner, and most people thought she would be elected. i thought trump could win. but i have got to say it's just sour grapes. in all honesty i'm getting tired of the democrats screaming and shouting for no good reason. melissa: the other side of the aisle say 17 agencies agree they meddled in the election and they want more information on that. >>

melissa harris-lacewell, it's so good to have you on the show! >> it is incredibly wonderful to be here. >> hinojosa: so your book, barbershops, bibles, bet, is kind of a very important book in terms of understanding african- american political thought and formation in this country, but you have said that you have moved on from that book. >> ( laughing ) yeah. >> hinojosa: that you love what you did there, but that you kind of have moved to a place where you're looking at things now more from the perspective of an african-american feminist. so who are audience in... you know, you don't hear a lot of talk on mainstream television about african-american feminism and feminists. >> no. you know, it's so interesting to hear people respond to that first book, 2004. you know, i started that book as a dissertation, right? it was sort of a set of a set of explorations, of ideas-- me trying to figure out a lot of how i thought the world worked in terms of race and politics-- but very much informed not only by my academic scholarship, but by, you know, a pa

so there‘s no hate. melissa cochran talking to fiona bruce. minority — have fled their homeland in myanmar, formerly known as burma. there are now reports that the national army has been responsible for mass killings and rapes. the country‘s leader is aung san suu kyi who for many years has been widely recognised as a champion of human rights. but more recently she‘s been accused of failing to confront the atrocities against the rohingya minority. a year after aung san suu kyi became leader in democratic elections she has given a rare interview to our special correspondent fergal keane. it is a relic of the absurdity and paranoia of military rule, a capital marooned far from the people, designed to keep the generals safe, but where the new democratic government is trying to consolidate its hold on power. it‘s leader, aung san suu kyi, has undergone a rapid transformation from pro—democracy icon. it‘s good to see you, a year later. a period of intense scrutiny and criticism. now, for the first time this year, she‘s agreed to a face—to—face inte

so good. they might keep that quiet. >> melissa korn from "the wall street journal," thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> this is pbs newshour weekend, sunday. >> sreenivasan: in a show of unity today in sweden, thousands of swedes gathered near the site where a man rammed a hijacked truck into stockholm pedestrians and shoppers on friday, killing at least four people and injuring 15. police now say the 39-year-old suspect in custody is an isis sympathizer from uzbekistan, who was denied asylum but eluded agents trying to deport him. swedish police also say they arrested a second person in connection with the attack, and at least four others are being held for questioning. in neighboring norway, police safely detonated a "bomb-like device" they found near a busy oslo subway station last night, and took one suspect into custody, a 17-year-old russian asylum-seeker. the u.s. military says a special forces soldier has been killed in combat against isis militants in afghanistan. the soldier was killed yesterday during operations in eastern afghanistan's nangarhar province, an isis stronghol

melissa: yeah, that is a great question. we'll see, gerri. thank you so much. jonathan and kevin, are back to react. jonathan, what a mess? >> i'm not surprised the popularity of obamacare is growing melissa. almost the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. a lot of americans, let alone investors are kind of scratching their head. what is the president's, what are republicans plans? you know he, president essentially as i understand it talking about using health care as cudgel, letting it disintegrate to get a deal with democrats. that people's lives he is talking about. that he has a sell job to make exactly what his plan is for health care. melissa: at the same time, kevin, i mean it's a mess. everybody needs to get together and make a deal. i don't fault the president for where we are right now. i mean it seems like, it is idea of people getting together and actually trying to work on it. he is the let's make a deal guy. i don't know the other sides are really interesting coming to the table. he is trying to force them there. what do you think? >

so there is no hate. melissa, whose husband died in the westminster attack, talking to me earlier. the un security council is holding an emergency session to discuss the suspected gas attack on a rebel—held town in syria. —— has held. the attack is believed to have killed more than 70 people, including children. the syrian government has denied responsibility, while its ally russia says the gas came from rebel weapons on the ground. but those claims have been widely rejected by western governments, as our chief international correspondent lyse doucet reports. all this five—year—old knows is he went to sleep in his spider—man suit and he woke up in a nightmare. now he's in hospital bed, grandparents at his side. the many victims of a toxic cloud which enveloped their village yesterday. breathing in poisonous gases as they slept. my grandchildren were sleeping, eve ryo ne grandchildren were sleeping, everyone woke up to a loud noise. they went outside and that is when they came across the chemical attack. they just
