>> joe, joe! by the way. by the way, so nice to see you on sunday. >> great to see you the other night. we went on his house boat. i'm serious. i thought it was going to be like one of those things you go down the mississippi river in. it was more like malcolm forbes' yacht. >> my goodness, no! it's an old steel troller. we are going to do a show from there, joe. >> we will be a bipartisan show. >> so i do want to say this because a lot of people watch the show and they are hear how divided washington is. we were talking about an awful lot of things but i asked you whether you had senators there and you said, yes, you do all the time but. >> four and four. >> but under one condition. what is that? >> bipartisan. if we have four democrats, we must fight like the dickens to get four republicans. if we have ten, we want ten of each. >> wow. >> we are going to do that and continue that. it makes a difference, really makes a difference. everybody apologize himself and we have a good time and we get to know each ot

joe biden, terry mcauliffe. i know i've got elizabeth warren on that list, bernie sanders, chuck schumer, john lewis. it sure looks like it is a battle between centrism and progressivism. >> we have supporters from the farm workers, we have support from progressives, from, you know, the congress, from state governments and so, you know, i think this is about the future of the party. and this is about making sure we get back to basics, michael. what we have to do as a democratic party is change the culture of the dnc. and what do i mean by that? number one, we can no longer define our mission as simply to elect a president. we must be defining our mission to ensure that we are working with all the states to make sure that we're building strong parties so we can elect candidates from the school board to the senate. number two, we've got to change our culture so that we're working better with our partners in the progressive movement. because labor unions are taking it on the chin from governors and from hostile cou

joe? it's so entrenched at this point. if you buy something at wal-mart that's $3.67, and wal-mart helped bring the price down because they know that's what their customer wants, as you say, that's essentially taking money out of the pocket of an american worker somewhere. >> i don't think you are going to change that mentality. i really don't think you are. i think that, rather than think about how do we bring back jobs in the old-fashion industries, we really need to be thinking more about how do we create jobs that don't require a four-year college, as catherine said, and how do you create entire new industries? i mean, the solar industry actually is growing like crazy and it's become a pretty decent source of jobs at the moment. i don't know if they'll last forever, but it's one example of a new industry that can create jobs even as other industries are fading. >> it's starting to change. you see companies like apple that raise the wages of store workers. wal-mart has done the same thi

that is where joe holden is tonight, tracking the investigation there, joe? >> reporter: good evening, guys. school officials and investigators say it is not clear those making these phone calls if it was an automated voice, they also say that they believe that these phone calls originated both in the united states and overseas, and then tonight, justice department has launched a civil rights investigation. jewish communities across the country tonight are on high alert, in wynnewood, educators are gripped with explaining the phoned in bomb threats. >> when a child asked me today why was someone making this kind of call to the school? i said, that person made a bad choice. but we make good choices. we are lucky to be in a community where you know how to make good choices and your teachers help you learn to make good choices. >> reporter: in cherry hill sarah and her four year-old daughter pearl, quickly evacuated from katz jewish community center on early monday. >> i find it disturbing that someone thinks this is entertaining thing to do continue on still fe

joe? >> all right. thank you so much, bill. we greatly appreciate it, as always. >>> mark halpern, one problem. if you have donald trump wanting to ease sanctions right now, not a great time to do it. obviously, with all of these russian investigations going but when you have lindsey graham saying 2017 is going to be the year that congress kicks rus russia's ass, his words, not mine. john mccain is ready to move there and you're already 50/50 and look at ben sasse and jeff flake and a lot can't do it in their home distributions, it ll be hard for donald trump to do anything sanctions that even paul ryan has said that he wants to codify the sanctions. i don't know how they get that done, even if trump wants to create this sweetheart deal with vladimir putin. >> yeah, i mean, you look in europe and you look in washington. you look around the foreign policy establishment. donald trump is isolated on this to some extent within his own government if he wants to get moving. as you said, the investigations would make doing anything ve

joe: i'm joe weisenthal. we are 30 minutes from the close of trading in the u.s. scarlet: u.s. stocks climbing on the signs of strength in the economy and relaxation on bank relations. joe: the question is, "what'd you miss?" scarlet: banks are driving the s&p 500 higher as trump takes executive action to scale back the dodd-frank law. onwill hear from ken bentsen the orders and the latest on the fiduciary rule. in an exclusive interview with bloomberg, the san francisco fed president says a march hike could be a possibility. his comments are coming up. now let's look at where the major averages stand as we head towards the close. abigail doolittle is standing by. aigail: we are looking at very nice rally for u.s. stocks heading into the close. dow, s&p 500, and nasdaq all nicely higher. the dow is back above 20,000, an

joe, great player. he has achieved so joe, great player. he has achieved so much in such a short period of time. this england team are exciting. still youthful, learning every day and getting better. getting stronger as a team and i give it. i think underjoe, it is going to be more exciting cricket because the way that he plays he is more mature and he knows the game inside out. i am looking forward to joe's tenure. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers.

i am congressman joe crowley. i am chair of the democratic congress and i'm joined by my colleague and my friend, and the vice president of the democratic causes -- caucus linda sanchez. , we are here coming near the close of our issues conference of 2017, the democratic issues conference. i have to say, in some respects, i'm actually happy it is coming to a close. it is a lot of work and the staff has put a lot of effort into this. we are very grateful for all they have done to make this such a successful issues conference. we have heard about national security, about the economy and opportunities, about making sure that they are for all americans that we are a big tent party. , always have been, always will be. really it is about communicating , that and reaching out to our voters. we have heard from experts like adam schiff. we heard from dennis williams, president of uaw. we heard from the center of american progress. we had some great and wonderful and inspiring speakers. last night, we had l.a. laker great,

i'm joe kernen. i'm all alone. andrew's off today but becky, we're sort of together. >> that's why they're playing it. >> we're always together. we don't need to be in the same place to be together, joe. >> mentally, spiritually, politically sometimes. you've got some sense. we're going to get to them in just a minute. 11 straight. you see that late day surge on friday was weird. it was almost just sort of needle andrew. i told him i knew you were going to be right. you've been saying a pull back for three 1/2 months but no. it didn't. >> you see the headlines today even in the journal. markets flash warning sign. >> and i'm really glad to have warren here to talk about it. they are pointing out that bonds and stocks are in sink again which question as reflation trade and i kept asking that last week. 235? what is going on with the tenure. we're going to blow out the deficit and military spending and infrastructure and tax cuts and all the greeowth, all the stuff. maybe warren knows why. but u.s. equ

>> joe? >> josh, when you look at facebook's numbers, i know that you're an active user on twitter and i know in the past, i don't know where you stand now and whether you own it or not or support it. do you think there is any read-through here on twitter, and do you believe that twitter can actually recover when you see the growth and all the momentum with facebook? >> so twitter last -- facebook last quarter added the equivalent of an entire twitter. think about that. i think it's like 267 monthly daily users. 267 million monthly users facebook added. which is about the size of twitter. so they signed up approximately nine people per second in the fourth quarter. why is facebook able to do that and twitter isn't? the primary reason is the content itself. people feel more comfortable on facebook. everyone there is posting under their own name. there are no anonymous accounts, there are no eggs, no -- very little nazis. that's been twitter's problem. i don't know how they correct it, because

but joe, thank you for lunch. >> and you know, if we're having lunch on joe, there's no forks or silverware involved. here. you can sign your name on the bottom. >> thanks for loving us all so much. we broke the others and the one we got for you. bill and becky. all right. we'll save this for him right here. >> don't tell him. we didn't really break the one we got for him. we drank it. >> so bill -- or this is your gift from bill, joe. >> this is cool. >> we did have lunch and did charge it to your room. >> that's fine. that's on cnbc. i'm not paying for any of it. he's insane, isn't he? his son, i think, is still one of the coaches at xavier university. >> big game on saturday. >> they played at msg. we had a preparty. my daughter actually tasted a little alcohol with bill, had their armed intertwined. a very funny -- he's insane. >> so he was thinking of you. >> i think 1979 i won a contest imitating him, that long ago. i was in a lab at m.i.t. i went down and got to meet him and saw "saturday night live." that's how far back this goes. i might be a fan boy with him. he's amazing. >>> com

and speaking of joe joe he and robert covington are both out with injuries tonight. embiid has only played this one of the sixers last seven games, but he was still name eastern conference rookie of the month for january. he is won the at ward every single in this season. since new year he is averaging 23 points, nine board and three blocks. >>> on to the ice flyers host montreal it this, shayne gostisbehere and travis konecny are healthy but not playing. they have been benched for their play. coach is not happy about it but they will learn from it. highlights at 11:00. >>> super bowl festivities continue in houston carson wentz making round on radio row and joined mike and mike show, he talk about his off season plan to work with the quarterback guru, same one tom brady and matt ryan used. >> i will go see tom house down there in southern california, and see what they are all about. i have seen them doing good things with other guys and really credible list of guys that they have worked with. i will see what it is all about. i don't think i'm going for mass overhaul

go, joe! >> i should have run a little bit faster than that. reporter: and then you would have made it. >> i'm technically making a basketball. i did this one in our class from experience. >> bill, this is a good story. acceptance is nice, i'm happy for joe. this is rooted in serious issues. the williams institute did a survey of americans. 4% have attempted suicide, when you go to a gay or less bean individual, it's 10-20%. the transgender individual it's up to 40%. little bit of acceptance early on in joe's life could lead to a healthy mental state later. >> i wonder how much of that stat that was wrapped up in kids struggling with gender disphoria and they want to be the gender they were born with, and i think this actually hurts because ultimately it's an encouragement of kids to embrace whatever the change is, and many kids not old enough to decide what movie they're going to watch, let alone what gender they're going to be. >> he's only nine years old, let him be the gender he wants to be. he will have enough time in adult life to figure

obama, 2014 they don't show up for joe and jane generic democrat. what republicans have to fear is that these people that came in and turbo charged donald trump in 2016, will they show up for another republican in the mid-term election who doesn't look, sound or act like donald trump? >> i was surprised. in fact, i want to roll footage of what transpired in utah. this is jason chaffetz at a town hall. play it. [ crowd chanting "do your job!" ] >> not what you'd expect from one of the reddest states in the country for a conservative member of congress to be greeted like that at the town hall. >> since the election you have some people that have completely withdrawn and won't watch news anymore. then you have "new york times" subscription sky rocketing. and it's built this intensity among some people while other people are just sort of withdrawing from the process. but, you know, i've had family members that have never been particularly interested in politics that are just, you know, on the edge of their chairs. it's unique but it does remind me of wh

representative sanchez: i am going to also tack on to what joe said. i come from a family of seven kids. we do not always agree. but at the end of the day, we know we stand up and support for and fight for one another. that is how it is with the democratic party as well. you don't always see eye to eye. if that was her sentiment, i think it is worthwhile to have her here to express what made her feel that way. i really believe, truly, when you look fundamentally at what democrats as a party fight for, and i think the chelsea handlers of the world and others, if we can communicate that effectively, say yes, that is the party i believe in and want to belong to. increasingly, we see a lot of independent registration, but that group, from time to time, may not see eye to eye with either party, but they participate and are civic minded. it is a good thing she is coming. i happen to think she is one tremendously funny lady. i am looking forward to hearing her insights and through the process of this issues conference, hopefully we can address what has made h
