alex seitz-wald joins us to explain.morning. >> good morning, jose. >> so who are clinton's top vicks f picks for vp? >> this is not a complete list almost certainly and the most buzzed about, talked about names and would make a lot of sense. kind. first name on a lot of people's lists is tim kaine, the senator from virginia. he speaks fluent spanish. one of the only people to be a mayor, governor and senator, also former dnc chair. you've also got elizabeth warren, big liberal hero. sherod brown. cory booker. both minnesota senators on that list, al franken and amy klobuchar as well as two cabinet secretaries, tom perez and hjulo castro. both of them hispanic options if she wanted to appeal to that demographic. >> what are the risk of pulling some of the senators and, for example, perez and castro will essentially be out when the obama administration is out, so they would be available. >> right. one of the big risks for three of those names on that lists, elizabeth warren, sherod brown and cory booker are senators from

alex seitz-wald is covering the democratic race for us.let's start with that clinton rally last night. walk us through what happened there. >> hillary clinton went to east l.a., a heavily hispanic area, it was cinco de mayo. she was going to talk about immigration, there was a mariachi band onsite but she was met by hundreds of protesters outside and some made their way inside the event. she cut her speech short and only spoke for 13 minutes. she typically speaks for 25. they were protesting her on immigration, on black lives matter, on a host of issues. some of them even held bernie sanders signs. we know hillary clinton does much better typically with latino voters, but among young latino voters bernie sanders has done well there. this is not at all typical for hillary clinton. she's been interrupted on the campaign trail, but usually these interruptions last only a couple of minutes before the protesters are escorted out. but to see a large presence of protesters like this and a sustained interruption that forces her to cut her speech s

producer and editor david wald died today.n't see him on camera, but he was a gentle and smart force behind-the-scenes on dozens of education stories. he worked closely with correspondents john merrow and john tulenko for more than a decade. he recently joined the education week team producing reports for us as well. his wide-ranging coverage ran from the transformation of new orleans' schools, to the battle over common core, to a new jersey school providing relief after superstorm sandy. david was a great colleague and friend-- a producer who frequently came up with the best ideas, yet rarely took the credit. david wald was 61 years old. and that is the newshour for tonight. on monday, we'll be back with a look at the economic power of latinos in the u.s. i'm judy woodruff. have a great memorial day weekend. thank you, and good night. >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: >> save lives, as many and as often as possible. there's 100 reasons why someone becomes a doctor, but at m.d. anderson, it's because

ari wald of op en heimer. >> the one thing that gives me a little bit of pause is two years versus ten-year. the lowest since we've seen since december of '07, nine or so years ago. again, i'm not saying it's going to happen, but recall what happened in the months that followed. so two tens are telling you something completely different that a fed rate hike should tell you. i think the economy is weak. it could cause some pain. >> i'm with you. i agree 100%. that told the story today when you looked at that. also, we're out of sync with everybody else in the world. those periods that he's looking back on and reflecting on, it was a completely different time. i look at every other central bank in the world. keeping the rates incredibly low. we're going in a totally opposite direction. that, in my opinion, doesn't tell the story of a market that wants to rally in the face of a fed hike. >> one step further and take a look at the difference between twos and tens, and go to the financials. why should the financials -- why should we have seen any rally in the regional banks that we've seen given

. >> ari wald of oppenheimer. thanks. >> i love what we're seeing out of zuckerberg. i think he continues to reinvent who they are, and the acquisitions they have done have absolutely paid off. i know there are a few out there and dan will criticize me on what happened. that's a lot of money. but they've been able to convert all of their acquisitions up to this point in amazing ways. >> you asked ari if you feel it's value versus growth. you have to believe in the brakeout in the s&p. in order for momentum stocks to continue working, you need to cross over the 2111, which is the recent high. >> i think it's also an important distinction that momentum doesn't necessarily equal growth. >> it is about rates. it's about where people think they can actually get a return. the stock market hasn't gone anywhere in 18 months. what's worked. last year we know what worked, home depot, a handful of stocks. we've lost a lot of those. we don't see nike going up anymore, starbucks, apple. a lot of stocks, we've lost a lot of them. have a ball, go and buy bank stocks or some of the s

let us ask our trading nation team, ari wald and eddie elfenbeim.ie, a lot of people negative on amazon and a lot of people horrifically wrong. what's your take? >> it's an amazing stock, really has shot up since the february low, but i think for investors and traders right now this is a great opportunity to use other people's greed and the momentum to take some profits, and if you don't own it to stay away from amazon. it's a remarkable company. for q1 they beat estimates by 85%. >> yeah. >> the company. a great stat. amazon has gained 1% on average every 11 days for nearly 20 straight years. and i -- and i love the company. >> tyler, michelle and i have been covering amazon since the ipo. if you try to adapt any fundamental analysis to the company, the pe ratio is this or the metrics are that or price to sales are that, come up with an argument about why the stocks should tank. it never does. does fundamental analysis matter at all for amazon? >> this is what i would say. it's a different game. whatever it is, whatever the market is doing, they ar

here with more is alex seitz-wald.alex, obviously i think a lot of people took notice to the twitter war last weekend and have wondered allowed whether or not senator warren is on the short list. >> yeah, a lot of buzz about elizabeth warren this week, tamron, especially as a potential vice presidential pick for hillary clinton. yesterday we learned from politico that joe biden, when he was looking at a presidential run, spoke with elizabeth warren about this, raised the possibility, thought she would be the best pick. she apparently was open to it but didn't express an opinion either way. and biden also thinks that clinton would be smart to pick warren. now we hear hillary clinton has definitely taken notice of elizabeth warren. hillary clinton's twitter account has retweeted some of those tweets that warren made about donald trump, so it's a natural choice for clinton to take a look at warren. she's a big hero among progressive, kind of the bernie sanders before bernie sanders, at least on the national stage. remembe

. >> the p-club majority did not support fisa approval, but judge patricia wald and i dissented from the board's report and did call -- >> would you please put -- because i think this is going to come up. would you please put before this body both sides of the question. >> sure. on the side of having a query, as i mentioned earlier, under the fourth amendment the government is now accessing americans' american communications and i did want to clarify one point earlier. this program does not just target terrorists. i think it might be a very different situation if the only focus was terrorists. this program targets anyone with foreign intelligence value, it could be a completely innocent businessman or anyone out of the country who has that information and so we have an american talking to someone who is potentially innocent of any wrongdoing and yet capturing that american's communications. it could be a love letter. it could be a business transaction. but all those are being captured and the question is when we shift our attention to these communications should we have court approva

one of the other board members, judge wald and i, did dissent and did recommend the requirement of a court approval. also on the classification front, one of the things the board experienced in preparing its report is we found some facts about the 702 program that we thought could be made public without harming national security. we had a very positive dialogue with the intelligence community, and the result of which there are 100 facts in our report that had been previously classified that the intelligence community felt could be declassified and allowed for a greater public debate about this program. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chair. >> mr. chairman, may i just know which report that is? is that the recommendations assessment report you're speaking of? >> senator, it's the 702 report. it's our almost 200-page report on the 702 program. we were able to have greater transparency about the program. >> i think it would be valuable if we could add these documents to the record, mr. chairman. >> yeah. without objection, they will be added. i think senator franken is next. >> i'm rankin

wald. i yield back. >> i would like to add my support for this amendment. i think for many of us that have lived on basis overseas -- lived as, commissaries are very much an integral part of us being able to have connections back to our home. and anything that is going to try to put market value on some good, it is going to be by nature, it is going to be overpriced. gets not that easy to american-made products when you are in okinawa. is -- by nature, it is going to be overpriced because it is not that easy to get the products there. i also know many of the military the department of defense have consistently been trying to get rid of the commissary system as we know it. and because of that, i don't trust that they are truly looking out for the interests of people that care about commissaries. i would like to have this check, at least available for us. especially considering six months from now, where will we be as a country? where will we be as a committee? we may not have the ability to be able to check, put a check on the dod. should they make a decisio
